Beyond Paradise (2023) s02e06 Episode Script

See you downstairs, Mark.
Mr Bevan.
BEEPING
Night, Mr Bevan.
Goodnight, Mark.
Evening. Evening.
METAL CRUNCHES
Good morning, Douglas. Morning!
Hello. Morning.
Morning, Douglas. Hello.
ALARM KEYPAD BEEPS
ALARM RINGS
There are to be flowers as a
centrepiece on each table,
except the top table
I don't want the bride
hidden by anything.
Well, perhaps at the two ends.
Now, let's go through the menu again.
The station review.
Is that it?
Everything they asked for.
So what do you think?
It's not about what's here.
It's about how they interpret it.
It'll say whatever they want it to say.
So you think they've already
made their minds up?
Don't you?
If it helps, I don't mind taking it in.
What? They might be about to close
us down, and all you can think about
is drooling over the Chief Super again?
I don't drool over her!
That's true, actually.
Normally his mouth goes dry
and he talks gibberish
I did Look, I just think
she's an amazing woman, that's all.
Oh, it's about professional respect.
Yeah. We've misjudged him.
So, if you were going to,
like, drop these off,
and she wanted to give you a kiss
to say thank you,
just a little one, you'd tell her
to back off, would you?
That it was inappropriate?
That's hardly likely, is it?
Probably, but what if she did?
Come to think of it, I think
she gave me a little peck
on the cheek last time
I took the quarterly report in.
That's right, I remember you saying
I wouldn't want to be rude, would I?
No. Course not.
As long as it was just a peck.
I It's
PHONE RINGS
It's not funny, is it? Ugh!
Don't get chatting over there.
We have to be out of here by four
We've got a wedding
to get to, remember? Yeah, yeah
Shipton Abbott police station.
Oh, sorry, Kelby,
but you do make it easy.
Yeah, but I don't have a go at
you for who you fancy, do I?
Who do I fancy?
Bloke with the hammer.
Hammer?
Thor.
You mean Chris Hemsworth?
See, I don't ask you if you
want to kiss him, do I?
No.
You can if you want.
All right.
Do you want to kiss him?
Yes, please
Shipton Abbott police.
Oh, hi, Douglas. How are you?
We'll get someone to you
as quickly as we can, OK?
Kelby.
Christie Close, suspected
assault on an elderly resident.
Go, go.
Hot water. Thank you.
Can I get you anything else?
I don't think so.
More toast? Sauce?
Er, no, I'm absolutely fine, thank you.
Then can I tempt you with a
little physical activity?
Um, excuse me?
'60s workout on the beach later.
Oh!
Oh, no, I'm a little busy today.
Maybe next time.
Absolutely.
What are you doing here?
We need to talk.
Isn't it bad luck if I see you?
I can't do it.
Do what?
The wedding!
OK, Ella, we'll just
get your arm secure,
then we'll pop you down to A&E,
get you checked out, all right?
I don't want any fuss.
Have you got family we can call?
Maybe they can meet you at the hospital.
Think one of the neighbours
called her granddaughter.
They said they were here
to fix the internet.
Who did? Two men.
They rang on the bell.
And you let them in?
Well, yes. It had been
playing up all morning.
They said they were here to fix it.
Only they went on my computer,
and my granddaughter said I
wasn't to let anyone do that.
So I said stop,
and that was when one of them
pushed me and I fell back.
These two men,
would you recognise them
if you saw them again?
Oh, yes.
We should get going. OK.
Well, don't worry about it now, Ella
James is going to get
you in the ambulance
I'll, er, I'll see you
at the hospital if I can,
if that's OK, um, just so I
can get a proper description.
Thank you.
OK
Nan!
Are you all right? What happened?
Oh, it's nothing.
They shouldn't have called you.
Of course they should have called me.
Is she OK?
A few cuts and bruises,
possible fracture of her left arm,
so we're taking her to A&E
You ready, Ella?
Well, I can't just leave the house.
It's all right, Nan. I'll lock up here
and I'll meet you at the hospital, OK?
All right, dear.
Thank you. All right, my love.
Grab the door
PC Hartford?
Er, yes, sir. Er, ma'am.
Do you know what happened?
HE STAMMERS
She's my grandmother.
Um, yes, ma'am.
Er, it seems there were two perpetrators
who aimed gantry. Aimed gantry?
Gained entry.
Um, they said they were
here to fix the internet,
and and and pushed her,
but you told her not to
let anyone do that
Not push her, er, I mean,
obviously they shouldn't do that,
um, even if she wasn't
your grandmother
Sorry
I meant go on the internet,
through the computer.
So, so she said, "Stop it,"
and they did, and that's
when they pushed her.
Right. So what are you going to do next?
Next? Um, I will, er
I'll get a description, um,
and ask around town if
anyone had seen them.
Ask around town?
Yes, and the surrounding areas,
um, neighbours, er, dog walkers, er, um,
people on bikes.
Can I make a suggestion? Yes,
please, ma'am.
Go back to the station,
write out your report
I'll call the cyber crime unit
to come down and check
my grandmother's computer
to see if there's any
forensic evidence to be had,
or a digital footprint we can identify,
and help lead us to the
people who did this.
Yes?
Yes, ma'am.
It's like my worst nightmare.
It's all the things we
said we didn't want.
But what do we do?
We can hardly not turn
up to our own wedding.
Of course not.
Mum would be devastated.
You'll have to talk to her. Me?
Well, if I go, she'll just talk
me round, like she always does.
If I go, she'll use her
headmistress voice on me
and I'll crumble
I cannot be held responsible
for what I'd agree to.
We'll go together.
It's an Art Deco piece
from the 1920s, bronze,
with the mounting tray
made from Devon marble.
Value?
It's insured for? 75,000.
Wow. I know.
It's a Francis Tucker piece,
loaned to the museum by Lady Cavendish.
At least you're insured, hmm?
Well, yes.
That's not really the problem.
We struggle to break even as it is.
Over half of what we
have here is on loan.
If this gets out, the owners
are going to start
taking their items away.
And if I make that kind of claim,
my insurance premiums
would double on whatever's left
I couldn't do it.
I'd have to close down.
Oh, Douglas, you can't do that
I'm not sure I'd have any choice
I'll do everything I can, I promise.
Now, can you show me where
you think they broke in?
This door was forced open.
Cameras? Outside.
One at the front door, one at the back.
It's the first thing I checked.
And? Nothing.
Although you can't actually see
this door from the rear camera.
And the alarm didn't go off?
I don't understand why.
We have motion sensors
throughout the gallery,
and this morning I still
had to disarm the system
as I do every morning.
Could be a fault
When was the system last checked?
It's serviced every six months,
so the last one would have
been first week in July.
Don't upset yourself about it.
If there's any news,
I'll call you straight away, OK?
Thanks, Esther.
See you.
Oh, Paris!
Hey, Esther. How you doing?
Haven't seen you for ages
Zoe was only talking
about you the other day
I've been about.
In the museum? Oh, no.
My boyfriend works here. Mark?
Oh, right. Yeah. Six months now.
Yeah, probably why no-one's seen you.
Tell Zo I'll give her a call.
Yeah, will do.
Well, that's that.
Nothing more we can do now.
Madam wasn't there, though,
so you would have had a wasted trip.
Family emergency or summat.
Well, I saw her. What?
The Chief Super.
It It was her nan who got
assaulted in Christie Close.
No!
Is she all right? Two blokes
got in her house, pushed her.
They think she might
have broken her arm.
Chief Super turned up while I was there.
They just checked her bank.
Looks like they cleaned her out.
Took everything. That's terrible.
Kelby, you have to help her
I mean, I'd like to help.
She's a lovely lady,
but the Chief Super doesn't want me to.
Eh? She told me she'd get
people from HQ to look into it.
She can't do that
The call came in here.
You attended first. So?
So it's your case.
But she's the boss.
Well, she won't think very highly of you
if you just roll over and
do as you're told, will she?
You need to show her
what you're made of.
You think?
Definitely.
And think how grateful she'd be.
You're right.
Thanks, Margo.
Go get 'em, tiger.
Sarge.
He looks happy
I'll tell you about it later.
So what about the museum?
Douglas OK? Bless him.
He thinks he might have to shut down.
No, he can't do that.
Someone forced open a
fire door out the back,
managed to dodge the alarm system
and nick a 75-grand bronze statuette.
How?
I have no clue.
Where's the Inspector
when you need him, eh?
Oh
Oh, make sure there's plenty of room
in between the tables
once the chairs go in.
That one maybe back a smidgeon.
Motty!
What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be
at the hairdresser's.
Yes, I'm, er, sorry about that.
Thanks.
WHISPERED CONVERSATION
Hello, Paris.
How are you?
Well, I was all right,
but Mark's just told me what happened.
Yes, it is a bit of a worry.
They broke in round the back?
It would seem so, yes.
Scumbags. Quite.
Although we're not entirely sure
why the alarm didn't go off.
Oh, well, they can do all
sorts these days, Mr B.
Well, I I'm sure you're right
I'm not very up on these things
I hope you're not keeping
young Mark away from his work.
LAUGHS It's her mum's birthday.
We're trying to find her something.
Make sure you use your
staff discount for her.
Oh, thank you.
You're very welcome.
What do you mean, too much?
It just feels like everything
is running away from us,
like it's not about us any more.
Who the hell else is it about?
When Humph and I talked about it,
it was a quiet affair.
We talked about a registry office
and a few close friends
I won't have you married
in a registry office
But don't you see, Mum?
That's the whole point
It isn't about what you want.
Our wedding day should
be about what we want,
and it doesn't feel that way.
You haven't really consulted
us about a single thing.
You chose the flowers, the menu
No! You told us what you'd
booked after the fact.
The truth is, I woke up this morning
and it didn't feel like my wedding day.
What have you got to say for yourself?
Well, Martha has a point.
You see, we talked
about something small,
a handful of people.
Why didn't you say all of this sooner?
What?
There just didn't seem a good time
with everything else.
What else?
You mean Richard?
It just felt like you threw
yourself into planning a wedding
to take your mind off it.
So it seemed quite churlish
to stop you from doing that.
We were worried about you.
So, in other words,
you were pandering to me?
Because suddenly I'd
become this mad old woman
interfering in everyone else's business
so I wouldn't have to
face up to the fact
that I'd been humiliated by a man?
We didn't say that. No
But I was.
Wasn't I, Motty?
While we're all being honest,
that's what you both think, isn't it?
No.
What, then?
I don't know.
SHE SIGHS
Do you know what I thought I was doing?
I thought that,
as the father of the bride
normally organises and
pays for the wedding,
I needed to step up.
Because he isn't here, is he?
There's just me.
And I know he would have
wanted it to be perfect.
And you're right,
this was about Richard, in a way,
though not the way you think.
You see, the more I realised
the truth about Richard's
lies and deceit
and selfishness, and his utter
disregard for anybody else,
the more I realised what a
an amazing man your father was.
And that I should honour his memory
by making sure that his little girl
had the wedding she deserved.
SHE SNIFFS
I'm sorry I overstepped the mark.
Oh, Mum, we're not mad at you.
We know you only ever
want what's best for us.
We just wondered if we could
scale it back a little.
Do you know what, Motty?
You can do whatever you want.
Oh, Mum, please
SHE SIGHS
Do you want me to go after her?
No, just leave her a while
Let her calm down.
Well, thanks, Mary
I owe you a drink next quiz night. Ha!
That alarm has to be faulty.
Could it have been bypassed somehow?
There's no evidence
it was tampered with.
Yeah.
That was Mary at HQ on the phone.
So, the two blokes who
pushed the Chief Super's nan
have been at it before.
Where? Coleford,
Markate and Frasacombe.
They use a Wi-Fi blocker
outside the houses
to mess up the internet,
then knock on doors offering to fix it.
Because of the blocker,
doorbell cameras can't store
the image of them knocking.
Clever. Then once inside,
they say they need to use your computer.
Then they hack into it and get
access to your bank account.
All those areas are covered
by the hub, aren't they?
Mary said they don't
have a single suspect.
Nothing.
Well, if they can't do anything
with all the resources they have,
what are we supposed to do?
Well, we've got something
they haven't got.
What's that? Kelby.
SHE CHUCKLES
So, I've got one dark hair,
clean-shaven,
looks a bit like Peter Barlow
from Coronation Street.
Er, one bald one with stubble, red ears,
looks like one of the
Conservative leaders,
but you're not sure which one
I'm not much help, am I?
But I'd know them if I saw them.
No, this is excellent, Ella.
Once I had to find a dog,
and the only information I had
was that it had three legs
and a diamante collar.
You've been very kind to me.
Well, it's not nice, what these men did.
Can't have them running around
hurting lovely ladies
like yourself, can we?
Are you flirting with me, Kelby?
Maybe a little bit.
Right, I'll run these descriptions
through our database and
start making enquiries.
PC Hartford. Ma'am
I thought I made it clear we'd
take care of this from the hub.
Yes, ma'am.
But with respect,
I was the attending officer.
And?
And I think I should carry
on with my investigation
I've got a description of
the two men and I'm about to
start my enquiries
He's been very thorough.
That's not how it works, Nan.
We have a cyber crime unit.
They're specialists
in this type of fraud.
Well, I haven't seen a
single one of your cyber men
since this happened.
Kelby's the only one who's talked to me.
All right.
Gather whatever information you can,
but you report directly to the hub.
Yes, ma'am.
Don't worry, I won't let you down.
Bye, Ella.
Oh, what a sweet boy.
OK, so I need you to set the alarm
exactly as you did last night.
We normally turn the lights off first.
Do the same thing.
How long between pressing the
button and the alarm being set?
We have 45 seconds to get out.
OK. Go.
STOPWATCH CHIMES
ALARM BLARES
Mark, go and turn the alarm off.
Not being funny, but should you two
be sitting here together?
Isn't it bad luck or something?
I'm not sure much else could go wrong.
Huh.
Everything's all right,
isn't it? I mean,
you're still getting married today?
I suppose. Don't you know?
Of course we're getting married.
Great.
Though, if I'm honest,
nothing would surprise me with you two.
She's right, isn't she?
We are a bit prone to
things going wrong.
Not wrong,
just occasionally a
little more complicated
than we anticipated, that is all.
OK, look, we find your mum,
kiss and make up,
we smile through the wedding,
and I'll see you on the other side.
I do love you.
Oh, well, that's a relief.
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Oh, um
of course.
Actually, it was Ryan's idea.
To have that connection on
your first placement is great.
He lost his grandad a few weeks ago,
and his mum needs to
be in hospital a while.
There's no other family
to take him in, so
we need someone to foster
I appreciate it's short notice.
Oh, that's fine.
It's not a bad time?
No. No.
We'd love to have him.
OK, great.
Well, I've got his stuff in the car.
Hiya.
Is it all right if I stay here, then?
Yeah, of course it is.
Sorry your mum's not well.
Is this your duck?
Well, he's sort of adopted us.
What's his name? Selwyn.
That's a funny name.
I'm going to like it here.
SELWYN QUACKS
HE SIGHS
KNOCK ON DOOR
What do you want?
Oh, I'm a police officer
Er, PC Hartford.
Er, can I have a word?
I haven't done anything Go away.
Oh, no, I'm sure you haven't
I just, er,
I need to ask about two men.
There's no men in here.
No, I just wanted to know if
anyone knocked on your door.
Yes.
Great.
Um, can you describe them for me?
Young, wearing a police uniform,
asking silly questions.
That's me, isn't it?
Right, well, these
aren't silly questions
I'm here on official police business
I just need to ask if
anyone's seen two men
I saw a car parked outside.
Car. What kind of car?
2-litre, black, Series 4 BMW Gran Coupe.
That's very specific
I watch a lot of Jeremy Clarkson.
He pushes my buttons.
Um, OK, um, but nobody
knocked on your door?
Yes. Who?
I didn't answer it.
Right.
Well, I'm not really looking for a car.
It's not here now anyway.
No, it isn't.
So I will not bother you any more.
Thank you
I saw him drive off.
Looked like that bloke
in Coronation Street.
Corrie?
So I checked the alarm
and it's clearly working.
So how the hell did they get past it?
Must be one of the Inspector things.
How do you mean? You know,
that thing he does
when the day's not the
day you think it was,
it was the day before,
or the person wasn't the person,
it was someone else.
It's not that kind of case.
If Douglas said that
statuette was in the museum
when they locked up last night
and wasn't there this morning,
then that's what happened.
SHE SIGHS
Maybe I should leave the how for now,
think about who and why.
Can you find me an expert?
It might have been stolen to order,
so see if we can work
out who'd want to buy
something like that. Yeah, all right.
How much do we know about
his assistant, Mark Wisdom?
Um, not much.
Any other staff? Couple of cleaners.
They generally work at weekends.
Well, run checks on everyone, will you?
We might get lucky -
find one of the cleaners
is an international art thief.
SHE LAUGHS
Had a breakthrough on
the Chief Super's nan.
A lady in the next street saw a
car parked outside her house.
Someone knocked on the door,
but she didn't answer,
and her Wi-Fi has been playing up.
So why is the car significant?
Because it was driven off by someone
who looked like Peter Barlow.
Ooh!
KELBY CHUCKLES Who's he?
Coronation Street.
Oh. He should be easy to find, then
We know where he lives.
Oh, it's not a real place, Margo.
It's off the telly.
Er, the other one was
bald with red ears,
looked like a Tory party
leader from a few years back
William Hague.
OK. So, wait, you've lost me a bit.
You think the two men
who assaulted the Chief
Superintendent's nan
parked in the next street?
Yes, and if they did,
I've got a good description of the car
I'll call you tomorrow,
see how he's settled in.
OK. OK
Do you think we should have
mentioned it's our wedding day?
She wouldn't have left him.
He would have had to
stay with strangers.
Yes. So how's this
going to work?
We'll think of something. OK.
OK. Well, he's very excited.
You know where I am.
Oh!
Thank you, Hannah. Thank you.
Bye
I still need to find Mum.
OK. You do that. I'll keep Ryan with me.
OK. We haven't got long.
What about, um, your hair, your make-up?
Oh
You'll just have
to take me as I am.
So the next time I see you
will be at the church.
Good news or bad news?
Good.
Here's a list of all
collectors and dealers
in a 50-mile radius who
specialise in Art Deco.
Great.
Bad news?
There's 53 of them. Oh.
We haven't got long.
We've got a wedding in three hours.
ESTHER SIGHS
Oh, and I ran checks on all the staff.
All came back clean as a whistle.
Thanks, Margo. Mm-hm.
There's 37 cars that
could fit the description
registered to houses in the area.
They might not be local.
For all we know,
they could be based in Exeter,
or Bristol even.
Do you have even a partial numberplate?
No.
Sorry to hear about your grandad.
It was really sad.
Mum cried loads. I bet she did.
He left me? 3,000 and a bunch of books
Charles
Dickens. HE LAUGHS.
They're really good books.
You should read them.
Some of them are really fat.
Well, that's the thing
with books, you see.
They come in all shapes and sizes.
How long will I be here for?
Um, that depends on how
quickly your mum gets better.
Will she die too? No!
No, of course not
Hannah says she should
be home in a few weeks.
So, you know, think of this
as like a like a holiday.
Can we go to Disneyland?
Ha! Yeah, well, I'm not sure.
Um, I think that's a
question for Martha
and probably your mum.
Can I sleep in the boat?
Ah. We've sort of moved in the house.
Boring. Yeah, it is rather
I'll see what I can do, OK?
Right, what next?
We've got two hours.
Walk on the beach?
Amusements? Nah, they're for kids.
Oh
I rather like amusements.
There's the aquarium.
Nah.
OK
Then you tell me where you'd like to go.
Another ice cream.
Another one?
Hello, Ryan! What are you doing here?
He hasn't been nicking
sausage rolls again, has he?
Er, no. Er, no,
he is going to be
staying with me and
Martha for a few weeks.
Well, that's exciting!
Shouldn't you be somewhere? Ah,
um, yes. Er
I'm going to sleep on a boat.
Really? Wow. That'll be cool.
Well
Yes, um
Come on, let's get you a biscuit.
Er, hello.
So, um, how's things?
OK
The station house review went in today.
Oh, gosh, yes, I'd forgotten about that.
The panel's meeting this afternoon.
Right. When will we hear?
Soon, though not sure if it'll
be held up by the Chief Super.
Why?
Her nan was assaulted this morning.
Oh, crikey. Is she all right?
Two blokes talked their
way into her house,
got onto her computer and
emptied her bank accounts.
One of them pushed her.
We think she's broken her arm,
but she's in A&E now.
Kelby's working on it,
and he's identified two suspects.
Um
William Hague, and the, er,
bloke off Coronation Street?
We're obviously not suggesting
it's the real William Hague,
or Peter Barlow, for that matter,
it's just how the witness
described the two men.
OK. Anything else?
The museum was broken into last night.
Someone stole an antique -
an Art Deco statuette
worth around? 75,000.
Really?
Yeah, it's such a shame.
The museum has been there
as long as I can remember,
and now it might have to
shut down because of it.
What do you have? Not much.
A door at the rear of the
building was forced open.
But the alarm was on, yet somehow,
they didn't set it off.
Faulty alarm?
Serviced recently and the
box wasn't tampered with.
It's a bit of a mystery.
Cameras? Nothing that helps.
Can I see the file?
I was hoping you might say that.
PHONE RINGS
Shipton Abbott police station.
Forensics? Nothing.
Sir! I thought you were
getting married today
I am.
Any progress on the Chief Super's nan?
Yes, sir.
One of the shops had a security camera,
and I think I've found the car.
Is that? Yes.
Right, here we go.
Look.
There. See?
It pulls up outside the coffee shop.
That must be Peter Barlow.
And William Hague is waiting in the car?
He comes back out,
then goes back in the car.
Then look
I ran the numberplate,
and I got an ANPR hit.
It's parked in the pay
and display car park
on the front. Excellent work, Kelby.
Do you think I should
call it in to the hub?
No.
You've done all the hard work.
Don't let them get all the glory
I'll get you a car to meet you there.
Er, Kelby.
Do you know what period
this recording covers?
48 hours, I think, er,
up till lunchtime today,
when we pulled the memory stick out.
Wish me luck. Er, yes.
Be careful.
Good luck!
Have you found something else?
Er, not sure, but look.
You can clearly see the museum.
So this is Douglas and Mark
coming out when they
locked up just before six.
Right. Oh, look, there's me!
On my way to the hotel.
Yeah, they're basically long doughnuts.
Discovered 'em in Benidorm.
They had a little van on the front.
No, thanks.
Ugh, nothing.
Not very surprising, since we know
they entered through the
rear of the building.
So what do we know?
Facts, facts, facts
We know the bronze was stolen.
Yes. The door was forced open.
Yes. What else?
That the alarm didn't go off.
So, three things.
The question is,
how does it all fit together?
Oh, look, there's you.
Oh! Must have left the tape running.
Who's that?
Paris. She went to school with Zoe.
Her boyfriend Mark works at the museum.
And have you ruled them out?
I mean, it would be easier
to tamper with the alarm
if you worked there,
or your boyfriend did.
But if you did work there,
wouldn't you just leave the
door open before you left?
Unless you wanted it to
look like a break-in.
But none of that explains
why the alarm didn't go off.
No.
No, it doesn't.
You should come to the hub, Kelbs.
It's got everything there.
Three coffee shops, canteen,
a restroom with a chocolate drawer,
and they have pies
delivered every Thursday.
No, thanks
I like it where I am.
You've got nothing there,
stuck out here on your own.
We've got a kettle,
and Margo has a biscuit tin.
Whoopee.
That's them.
You sure?
Positive
I'll call for backup.
Go, go, go
I thought you were the backup.
ON RADIO: Roger that.
SIREN WAILS
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy.
Don't do it. Don't do it.
HE SIGHS
Yes, go on, get them
I'm right behind you, Kelbs. Go on.
Yes!
Oi! You can't go
HORN BLARES
Here you go!
Look, whichever it is,
the alarm must have been
tampered with in some way.
The evidence suggests otherwise.
And we're all guilty of wanting evidence
to back up what we
already think, aren't we?
When in fact we should simply
accept the evidence for what it is
and adapt our thinking to fit.
Sometimes we become so fixated
on what we want to see
Now you've lost me.
All right. What if
the statuette wasn't stolen?
We know it was.
Unless Douglas is a liar,
and I don't believe that
I don't doubt that he
believed what he told you,
and you've been looking for
evidence that supported that.
Of course. But
if we accept that Douglas
doesn't know what actually happened,
which he doesn't,
then let's try a theory
that fits the evidence,
rather than try to find
evidence that fits a theory.
We can be sure that he and
Mark locked up the museum
in the way they always did.
Mr Bevan.
We can be sure of that,
because that's what Douglas saw.
ALARM KEYPAD BEEPS
Night, Mr Bevan.
Goodnight, Mark.
So it's exactly as he said.
It's exactly as he saw.
What about what he didn't see?
But how can you possibly know that?
I don't.
But it's the only thing
that fits the evidence.
We know that the door was forced open,
but let's discount that for now.
Surely the most obvious reason
for the alarm not to be triggered
was that no-one actually
went into the museum.
So the statuette was either
stolen before the alarm was set
or after it was disarmed. Exactly.
Then it could only be Douglas or Mark.
Yes. But in order to make
it look like a robbery
They went back that night
to force open the door.
And as you've already
ruled out Douglas
It must be Mark. Yeah.
And he would know that security
camera couldn't see the door.
So the alarm never went off
because no-one actually
entered the museum.
Because the bronze had
already been stolen.
But he still had to get it
out without Douglas seeing.
Ah, now that was the clever bit
I hope you're not keeping
young Mark away from his work.
It's her mum's birthday.
We're trying to find her summat.
Well, make sure you use
your staff discount for her.
Oh, thank you.
You're very welcome.
See anything you like?
Don't forget my staff discount.
See, at first I thought the
bronze must still be hidden
somewhere in the museum, but
then I saw this
Paris!
The vase is the perfect size,
don't you think?
She said she was buying
a gift for her mum!
Oh, the little cow even saw
me on the way into the museum,
knowing what she was going to do.
But that's brilliant.
Oh, not really. You'd already
done all the hard work
I just came along at the last moment
and sprinkled some hundreds
and thousands on the top.
Sorry to interrupt, but have
you any idea what the time is?
Me and Esther have to
go and get changed,
and I'm pretty sure you
should be doing the same.
Margo!
You're getting married.
Crikey! Yes, I am!
Oh, I'll drop you off. Come on.
Come on, Esther. Time to go
I'm not finished
Come on, you can watch it later
on the honeymoon!
ANNE: Leave your message
after the tone. Thank you.
BEEP
INDISTINCT CONVERSATION
DOOR OPENS
Mum?
See you at the church!
What's going on?
Sorry.
I'm not being a terribly
good foster parent, am I?
OK, look, the thing is
me and Martha are supposed
to be getting married today.
But we didn't want to say anything
in case they decided
you wouldn't be able to
stay with us after all.
You're getting married?
Yes. Can I come?
Come? Of course you can.
In fact, I'd decided that I
didn't really want a best man.
Never quite saw the point of it,
if I'm honest.
But I'd very much like
you to be my best man.
Me?
Can't think of anyone better.
Will they have any food there?
Cos I'm a bit hungry.
A feast! OK, I'm in.
Excellent!
How do I look?
Like
a teacher.
Well, that's not quite
the look I was going for,
but it's all I've got. Right, let's go.
PHONE RINGS
Martha?
She cancelled everything?
The church, cars, reception. Everything.
And where is she now? I've no idea
I've left her a message to say
I was coming here to meet you
I know we asked her to
scale things back a bit,
but to cancel everything
Why would she do that?
Because I didn't want
you holding it over me
for the rest of my life.
That I'd ruined your wedding day.
We'd never have done that!
Of course you would,
and I wouldn't expect anything less
I've managed to cancel everything,
except for the canapes and the
champagne for the arrival.
They're in the boot of the car
I messaged as many of
the guests as I could.
We can arrange it all
again for another day.
Together.
Oh, Mum.
Are we still getting food?
Not entirely sure.
There they are!
We went to your B&B to see what happened
and they said you were down here.
Er, yeah, there's been a
slight change of plan.
Is everything all right?
Everything's fine.
There's Kelby. I got your message.
Have I missed it? It's been cancelled.
No, not cancelled. Postponed.
Did you get your man?
Both locked up.
Ah, well done, you!
What's this? Well, it seems that Kelby
has apprehended Peter Barlow
from Coronation Street
and William Hague on suspicion
of assault and theft
I'm not even going to ask.
Now, since we're all here,
is anyone hungry?
I'm starving. Me too.
Right. Now, Zoe, you come and help me
get the canapes from the boot
And you, come on.
Waste not, want not.
You look absolutely beautiful,
by the way.
You're not so bad yourself.
Oh, yeah No, you're not having any
I told you, Zoe.
Isn't it funny how things work out?
This is exactly how we
envisaged our wedding day.
Without the getting married part.
Do you mind? No.
We'll still do it.
We'll just think of this
as a dress rehearsal.
Hmm, I'm not sure about that.
The last time you had a dress
rehearsal, someone died.
The steam train, remember?
Oh, yes.
Everyone looks OK so far.
Did you invite the Chief Superintendent?
No!
Ma'am!
It seems you've had a very
productive day, Inspector.
The two bogus internet
engineers are in custody,
and I got a call from
Douglas Bevan at the museum
telling me what a good job you
did retrieving the stolen bronze.
It was a team effort, ma'am
I don't doubt it, Sergeant.
Anyway, I don't want
to disturb your, um
whatever this is
I just thought I'd let you
know we've concluded our review
into the Shipton Abbott station house,
and I thought you should
know sooner rather than later
that it seems there is
a place for an element
of community policing in
Shipton Abbott after all.
THEY GASP
Yes! I'm sure you'll be
tempted to believe it had
something to do with you
apprehending the men who
assaulted my grandmother,
and I can't say that
that didn't highlight
your strengths, but the truth is,
your stats are excellent.
The decision was based purely on merit.
Thank you, ma'am.
You're very welcome, Inspector.
Please, stay and have a canape.
What are we celebrating,
exactly?
Not getting married.
Right. Changed your mind, then?
'60s workout.
Oh, sorry, Sandy. Er, no
I'm not really dressed for it.
Next time, though.
Yes.
Kelby?
Can I have a word? Er
Yeah, sure.
WORKOUT MUSIC STARTS
I just wanted to say thank you
for the way you treated my grandmother.
Not as your superior officer,
but as a granddaughter.
That's OK, ma'am.
She's a very lovely lady.
Yeah. Yeah, she is.
But even so, you treated her
with kindness and respect,
and you listened to her properly,
and I'm not sure I do that all the time.
So, thank you.
Ooh!
I can't believe it!
Ah. He was my best man.
Of course you were.
Thank you, Ryan
Martha Lloyd,
will you do me the honour
of not marrying me today?
It would be a pleasure.
CHEERING
you've had a hold on me
I just want to be beside you everywhere
honey, I don't care
oh, can't you see?
you've had a hold on me
