The Marlow Murder Club (2024) s02e06 Episode Script
Season 2, Episode 6
1
There's been a death
at the sailing club.
We're investigating the murder
of Kit Harcourt, a highly
successful investment banker.
You didn't like him much, did you?
That's not what I said.
Sounds like you rubbed a few
people up the wrong way.
You did more than that to dad.
Do you think Greg is capable
of murder?
I saw a man pushed to the edge.
What's been taken?
A consignment of outboard motors.
There was something I couldn't get
out of my head,
that the theft
and the murder were connected.
CREAKS AND HE SCREAMS OU
Uh
Uh
Uh
There's someone under there.
Why haven't you called an ambulance?
Dad!
James, are you all right?Oh
So, what exactly did Jackie say?
That James Wickham decided
to have a nosey under his boat
before they got back
and it fell on him.
But he's OK?
Yeah, but Jackie's pretty shaken.
Suzie, what are you doing?
We told Jackie we were on our way.
Hang on.
This boat's been abandoned.
Oh, ye of little faith.
I told you Greg Cooper
would be on a boat.
But if it is him, where is he now?
I better call Tanika.
Come on. Jackie's waiting.
He's lucky to be alive.
It's one shock after another.
That's why we're here.
To make sure this incident isn't
related to Kit Harcourt's death
in any way.
Well, look, as I said,
it was an accident, pure and simple.
Bottom line, I should have waited
for Harry.
We understand Harry Tynham resented
the fact that you didn't support him
when Kit Harcourt accused him
of stealing.
The evidence was there.
I'm Club Commodore, so I had no
choice.
This is all water under the bridge,
and Harry still services our boats.
That's why I didn't think
it was worth bringing
it to your attention.
I really don't think this should be
investigated any further.
Please.
Harry and Jackie
have been through enough.
He's like the Scarlet Pimpernel.
They seek him here,
they seek him there.
Caesar did say he'd be on a boat.
All right, don't rub it in.
So, what now?
Well, what does a drinker do
when he runs out of booze?
They go buy more?
Any shops this side of the river?
No, but there is a pub
in staggering distance.
You've got to believe me.
I was working on that boat
this morning
and the struts were fine.
Dad's not capable of hurting anyone,
but the police spoke to both
of us earlier. There's something
I didn't tell them.
Dad got a letter from the parish
council that really upset him.
It's a compulsory purchase
order for the boatyard.
We're being forced
out of our own business.
No wonder he was so angry.
You don't think he's involved,
do you?
No.
No, of course not.
There must be information
about the application online.
I already searched it.
The applicant is Kit Harcourt,
but the rest is confidential.
So, there are some unofficial
channels that may be able
to help us get to the bottom of it.
Mrs Potts, look what we turned
up this morning.
Yes, it's marvellous, isn't it?
And it's such a rare find.
You know, we once uncovered a huge
cache of coins directly
beneath the warlords body
in a similar dig in Norfolk.
I remember reading about it.
Really?
I'd love to hear how you found
it, when you have a moment.
Well, I'd be delighted.
MOBILE VIBRATES
Oh, excuse me.
Sorry, I have to take this.
I do hope you'll be returning
forthwith.
Well, not quite yet, I'm afraid.
My duties as civilian advisor
have to come first.
And so far, it's all a bit
of a muddle.
Perhaps you and Mrs Eddingham
can help.
You mentioned the parish
council earlier.
Are both of you members?
Well, just me.
I'm a non-elected member,
mainly on the admin side.
So, you have access to documents?
What's all this about, Mrs Potts?
Well, we're looking for information,
specifically a compulsory purchase
order with this case number.
Might you consider doing a little
discreet investigation on my behalf?
Excuse me.
We're looking for Greg Cooper.
Oh. Not sure how much sense
you'll get out of him.
Right.
Thanks.
Greg Cooper?
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Kit Harcourt.
I don't know what you're on about.
Get him cuffed.
Come on.Get your hands off me.
I didn't even know he was dead,
so I can't have done it.
Make a statement at the station.
But I'm innocent, yeah?
I'll tell you this for nothing,
Kit Harcourt deserved everything
he got.
All right, mate, enough of that.
Come on, let's go.
Hey
They've just arrested Greg Cooper
for murder.
They've got nothing on us.
So far, so good.
I'm so sorry
the police are involved, Jackie.
We really didn't want that.
It's not your fault.
You do know his car's still here?
Which is partly why I'm ringing.
James is worried he's left
it unlocked.
Thinks he might have left
his mobile in the glove box?
I'll check for you.
Thanks, Jackie.
The car is open.
But the mobile
is not in the glove box.
What about the boot?
No, nothing here. Sorry.
It's a compulsory purchase
order for the boatyard.
The applicant is Kit Harcourt.
There was something I couldn't get
out of my head,
the possibility that the theft
and the murder
were connected, somehow.
Kit said he needed photographs
of members' younger selves.
I suspect he obtained it
under false pretences.
Mrs Potts, can I help?
Oh, I do hope so, Mrs Wyckham.
I believe you're in charge
of the club kit.
This is the kit room,
my littlekingdom.
How can I help?
I saw two of your members
on the river this morning.
Both of them were wearing red
sailing club jackets,
but the jacket caught on the drone
footage was blue.
I just wondered if you could
explain the significance.
Blue jackets are worn by senior
committee members only,
red jackets by ordinary members.
And when Harry Tynham left
the club, did he return his jacket?
I'm not sure, but I can check
for you.Thank you.
And is there anything else
in the kit that distinguishes rank?
Yes, the club caps.
Um Let me show you.
This is my husband's.
As Commodore,
his cap has three stripes.
And the rear commodore, Greg Cooper?
His has one stripe.
I'll show you.
Well, that's odd.
Greg normally leaves all his kit
at the club.
Judith said she'd meet us here.
Just had a horrible thought.
The guy Hoskins is coming back,
well, then, we're finished too.
Tanika was the one that appointed
us.Oh, God!
I hadn't considered that.
Thank you for meeting me here.
My source will be joining
us shortly.Oh, come on.
Spill the beans.
What did you find out?
It turns out that only senior
committee members get to wear blue
sailing jackets, which narrows
down our potential suspects.
All the current members have alibis,
except Greg Cooper. However,
Harry Tynham used to have a blue
jacket and may have kept it.
So that just leaves Greg
and Harry in the frame.
Well, or our mystery thief.
Psst! Mrs Potts!
Took some finding.
Locked away in quite
the wrong place,
but as parish council admin officer,
I have all the keys. You
can see from these plans,
that Kit Harcourt's house sits
above the boatyard site,
but he wanted river frontage,
Marlowe's holy Grail.
And Harry Tynham refused
his every offer.So, what happened?
Out of nowhere, the boatyard
was issued an urgent, dangerous
structure notice and the council
granted a compulsory purchase order
with immediate effect.
But there's nothing wrong
with that building.
Who reported it to the council?
Our chair, James Wyckham.
So, there we have it.
Kit Harcourt got what he wanted,
Harry's land,
with the help of James Wyckham,
who was then nearly killed
in the dangerous structure.
There's something really off here.
It's now clear that Harry Tynham
is being forced from the boatyard
he loved by Kit Harcourt
and James Wyckham.
Giving him motive to kill
both Kit and James.
We just had it confirmed
that one of the boat struts
had been deliberately sawn through.
I knew it wasn't an accident.
Harry Tynham knew that
James Wickham was coming
to inspect that boat. Sounds
like he set the whole thing up.
Now, I know this looks bad for
Harry, but I just don't believe it.
We can't ignore the evidence.
Bring him in.Sarge.
I have no idea where dad is.
He never came into work,
and he's not at home,
so I can't help you.There's been
a development, Miss Tynham.
Forensics have confirmed
that one of the boat struts
was deliberately tampered with.
That had nothing to do
with dad, 100%.
We still need to speak to him.
So if he does get in contact,
get him to call us immediately.
We have to talk.
No, it can't wait.
I need to speak to you now.
Do I have to do this again?
We had a fight.
I walked away, end of story.
Why were you so angry?
Vice Commodore was always
going to be mine, no question.
Then Kit decided he wanted
it for himself,
lied and cheated to get his own way.
The Commodore fell for it hook,
line and sinker.
I felt betrayed.
You said that Kit Harcourt's
death was the best news
you'd heard in years.
It doesn't mean I killed him.
Your DNA was found close
to the scene on a bottle
of naval gold.Well, maybe I dropped
it during the fight.
And this was caught on camera
at the end of the slipway,
about the time Mr Harcourt
was murdered.
It was containing your phone,
wallet and smartwatch.
That bag was in my locker.
Well, how did it get in the river?
I have no idea.
Just one more thing, Mr Cooper,
a blue sailing jacket was worn
by the person walking
away from Mr Harcourt's dead body.
We believe that jacket belongs
to you.
All of my kit was in my locker,
along with the bag.
Can't you see someone is
trying to frame me?
RINGS DOORBELL
The outboard motors have arrived.
Operation Coliseum is go!
And that is what exactly?
No time to explain.
Leave your bags inside. We've got
work to do.
PHONE RINGS/VIBRATES
Hi, it's Suzie. Leave a message.
MOBILE BEEPS
I know who it is.
Sending proof now.
MUFFLED SCREAMS
How on earth did you dig
that hole on your own?
I mean, covering it up was hard
enough.
Professor Gifford lent me
some volunteers.
Are you sure about this, Judith?
Someone could get hurt.
Well, according to the Romans,
it's all perfectly safe.
It's how they trapped wild animals
unharmed for their gains.
Oh, hence Operation Colosseum!
And whoever we catch could lead
us to our killer.
All we have to do now is wait.
It's like being back at guide camp.
I got kicked out of the Brownies
for masterminding a rebellion.
I've never really been a joiner.
Well, you joined us?
Yeah, but you and Becks
are rebels too, but you
You keep it under wraps.
A rebellious vicar's wife.
I'll take that.
Got a new glow about you, MrsP.
Really?Suzie's right.
Coming out of retirement
really suits you.
And we're not the only ones
who've noticed.
Archaeology was always something
I thought I'd return
to when the time was right.
So, why now?
My whole world's opened up recently,
partly thanks to you two.
It's given me the courage to embrace
new experiences,
rather than shy away from them.
As Confucius once said, we have two
lives, and the second begins
when we realise we only have one.
I'm going to live my second
life to the full.
Amen to that.
CAR ENGINE
We have a visitor.
TWIG SNAPS
Suzie!
TWIGS SNAP
Argh!
Yes!
We got him!
Whoa!
Oh
HE EXHALES
Harry, what are you doing?
CAR IGNITION FAILS
Becks!With me.
IGNITION FAILS
Come on.
Come on!
Tanika, I think we've found
your thieves.
It's many years since I've stayed
up till dawn.
It was all worth it, though.
I'm just sorry our captive turned
out to be Harry Tynham.
Could he be our killer?
I just checked my phone, and Jackie
left me a message last night.
"I know who it is.
Sending proof now."
Whatever she was sending,
I didn't get it.
I've tried calling her,
she ain't picking up.
I've got to get over there.
We're coming with you.
Jackie?
Jackie!
Oh, no!
Jacks?
It's OK.
Can you hear us?
Jacks?She's breathing.
Jacks.
Ambulance, please.
Police haven't found her phone.
If only I'd picked up her call.
Well, this isn't your fault, Suzie.
I'm going to have to talk to Harry.
He'll be devastated.
At least this takes suspicion
away from him.
He was with us when it happened.
He would never, ever do anything
that would put Jackie in danger.
The police won't let you speak
to him now.
We all need some sleep.
I suppose you're right.
We'll see you in the station later.
What IS that?
It looks like gobbledegook.
Everything means something.
Why didn't you tell us any
of this before, Mr Tynham?
We had no money coming in.
No prospect of any.
Nobody wanted anything to do
with me any more.
I thought I had nothing to lose.
Well, Jackie's belief in me never
wavered through all of the slander
and the lies.
And now, I've let her down so badly.
I have to see her.
We found a stash
of outboard motors in your lock
up at the bounty,
along with a pair
of oil-stained trainers.
Andthis gold watch.
Now, you told us that the robbery
took place between 2 and 4 am.
That's right.
But your van was caught on camera
near the sailing club at 5:31.
So, how do you explain that?
We were unloading the motors
from Harry's van when I realised
I didn't have my sweatshirt.
It's got the bounty logo on it.
I knew it could identify
me, so I went back.
The sweatshirt was on the floor
of the boat store.
That's when I must have trod
in the oil.
How about the watch?
As I walked down the path, I saw
this beautiful old watch
just lying there, so I took it.
We believe that the killer
was there at the same time.
If they were, I didn't see him
or the body. I swear to God.
Why should we believe anything
you're saying, Mr Hawkins?
Because everything I've told
you is true.
Look, all I wanted was to try
and stop the bounty from going
under.
But no-one cares about that.
Forensics have found traces
of ether around her mouth.
Jackie Tynham was unconscious,
pre-exposure to carbon monoxide.
It's confirmed,
we're looking at attempted murder.
First, James Wyckham and now Jackie.
Both attempts were unsuccessful.
Poor Jackie. Have you found
her phone?No. Digital.
We're trying to access her cloud,
but there's no guarantee
that it's been backed up.
There is something that might help.
I found this on the computer screen
in the office at the boatyard.
Oh, looks like the text
my mate sends his missus
after he's had a few.
I'm inclined to think more
like the ancient Egyptians.
They use substitution
and concealment techniques
to disguise communications.
Can't hang around here,
doing nothing.
I've got to try and find
Jackie's phone.
Any news on the watch?
Jed Hawkins admits to stealing it
from the scene, but we're struggling
to identify its owner.
And there's no serial number
on the watch, which
makes it harder to trace.
I know someone who might be able
to help.
Oh, Suzie.
I was hoping to meet somebody
from the investigation.
How's poor Jackie?
Such awful news about her accident.
It might be a bit more sinister
than that, Ursula.Sinister?
Jackie sent me a message saying
she knew who Kit's killer was,
and she was sending me something
to prove it, but it never arrived.
That's dreadful.
On my way to the boatyard now.
It's the last place
that Jackie's phone was used.
I don't know, maybe the police
missed something.
Come on, girl.
Come on, with me.
Who exactly are we going to see?
William Locke,
a private watch specialist.
He used to service
the Bishop's collection.
KNOCKS ON DOOR
We can bring the watch
in if it helps.No need.
I believe I recognise it.
One moment please.
As I thought.
I've serviced this watch
regularly for many years.
For whom?The old club
Commodore, Michael Liddington.
Ursula's husband.
Right.
I'm going to find that phone.
Um
Ta.
Oh
My dog
My dog!
She was just here!
Did you see anyone?No.
I'll check with my colleague.
Luna!
The watch belonged to Michael
Liddington, but it hasn't
been serviced since he died.
Which is seven years ago.
Who owned it after that?
The lab finally got a result
on the DNA from the watch link.
It's a match for someone
on the police database.
A Darren Benson from Balham, London,
wanted for fraud,
reported missing in 1996.
No record of his existence
since then.
What was Darren Benson doing
at the crime scene and why
was he wearing
Michael Liddingston's watch?
Luna's gone. I left there for two
minutes and all I found was a collar
and a leash.
You think it was the dognappers?
Maybe she just slipped her collar
and she ran home.
We'll make sure our mobile
units are aware.
I've got to go home.
I'm going to see if Luna's there.
I'm sure everything will be fine.
You call us when you get there.
Let us know if you find her.
Luna!
Luna!
If you want to see your dog
alive, come to Gordon's Creek
with a grand in cash.
Look for a yellow van.
Leave your phone and tell no-one.
I've tried all the models I know.
Acrostic, the Caesar shift,
Alberti's disk, even
the Vigenere square.
But Jackie's code contains
punctuation,
which is most irregular.Becks.
So sorry to intrude, Ursula, but
the watch link found at the crime
scene has finally been matched,
the watch itself.
Mr Locke says it belonged
to your late husband.
Michael left that watch
to James in his will.
Did he mention breaking the strap?
Why would he?
I saw him wearing it today.
James worked from the stable block.
You could ask him yourself.
Finally! You are an extremely
hard person to get hold of,
DS Malik.
Sorry, but I knew what was coming.
I wanted to solve the case
before that happened and go out
on a high.
Go out? I don't understand.
Well, with DI Hoskins coming back.
But he's not.
That's why I wanted to see you.
We'd like you to replace him
on a permanent basis.
KNOCKS ON DOOR
Sorry to interrupt.
It's just Digital
managed to access Jackie's cloud.
The last image she took
was of a blue cap with one stripe.
Sailing club confirmed, it
belonged to Greg Cooper.
What does James use this place for?
Sailing club business, mainly.
He retired from finance
many years ago.
He normally tells me
if he's popping out.
Sorry to waste your time.
Distract her.
Such beautiful roses, Ursula.
What are they?
Damasks. My absolute favourite.
They have the most wonderful
fragrance.
Such a lovely property.
You are lucky, Ursula.
Yes, I know. Excuse me.
Mrs Potts,
what on earth do you think?
I thought you said James
had retired.
"Leave the van.
Walk up the river.
"Head for the old boat
by the Swallows Reach."
Nothing.
This is locked.
Oh. Try this.
It's an invoice from a watch
dealer in Henley.
On the same day as the murder.
It's the same model.
Which is why Ursula believed
he was still wearing it.
Why has he got this?
There's no James Wickham here,
but there is a Darren Benson.
Darren Benson, the missing
fraudster whose DNA was found
on the watch link.
He looks familiar.
Judith, we need to call Tanika.
Everyone can touch type
nowadays, but you have to start
with your hands above the home key.
What are you talking about?
Jackie was confused, losing
consciousness,
desperate to tell us something,
but he hadn't realised
that her hands were one key out,
so she wrote this.
Whereas if the hands were above
the home key,
where she thought they were,
she'd have written this.
Any sign of him?
No, but we'll find him.
We've got all units looking
for Wickham now.
We make a good team.Ma'am.
Excuse me.
I'll try her again.
Mrs Potts!
It's a disaster.
I just called my bank.
James has taken all our savings.
Everything. I've been such a fool.
Oh, he fooled everyone,
Mrs Lidington.
James Wyckham is an extremely
manipulative man.
But we'll find him and we'll get
that money back, I promise you.
Still no answer from Suzie.
I'm getting really worried.
Well, she said she was going home.
Let's try her there.
DOG BARKS
Oh!
I'm coming, girl!
It doesn't look like anyone's home.
Suzie has a spare key.
Her phone's here.
It's a ransom demand telling
her to go to Gordon's Creek.
But we'll be way behind her now.
Luna's collar is linked
to a tracking app.
I saw Suzie put it in her bag
at the station.
Which means we'll be able to track
where Suzie is right now.
OK.
She's on the towpath, just past
Hedsor.
We'll take this.
I'm hoping we might need it.
Ohh!
DOG BARKS
I'm here, girl.
There's Suzie's van.
And there's the yellow one.
Look.
She's heading for an old boat
by Swallows Reach.
According to the app,
she's already there.
Come on.
Oh, no! Oh!
Good girl.
It's OK. I'm here now.
You're so good.
You're so good.
Huh?
What?
Hello?
Hello.
No.
It's stopped moving.
She's there.
MOBILE BUZZES
Oh.
Tanika, Suzie's on a boat
by Swallows Reach. Come quickly.
Something's wrong.
They're ten minutes away.
Is it just me, or is that boat
sinking?
SHE CRIES OU
There has got to be some way out.
No!
They're all sealed!
Agh!
I don't know what to do!
He's heading this way.
What do we do?Come on.
DOG WHIMPERS
Oh!
Take this and pull!
Aghhhh!
Aghh!
It's over, Mr Wyckham.
You're not going anywhere.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Not for much longer now.
Notanyway.
SIREN WAILS
I'm in here.
Help, please!
You OK in there?
Yeah, yeah.
Hang tight.
We're going to get you out.
Oh!
Look at you!
Suzie and Luna are safe.
Thank goodness!The police
are on their way.
You've led us quite a merry dance,
haven't you, Mr Wyckham?
Or should I say Mr Benson?
That is you, isn't it?
How did you find out?
I went to Kit's house, convinced
I'd find something useful.
And I did - a club committee
photograph from over 20 years ago.
But it wasn't until we discovered
your secret office that we realised
why it was significant.
How did KIPP make the connection
between you and Darren Benson?
Kit worked for the same
city bank as I did -
long after me, of course.
One of the traders I worked with
died last year, and his obituary
showed our old team photograph.
Kit thought he recognised me,
but he had to be sure.
And then he confronted
you with what he found out.
I went down for an early morning
sale and Kit was already there.
Beautiful morning.
Isn't it, Darren?
Who was Darren Benson?
Why did he need to make him
disappear?
Darren is a boy from nowhere
with nothing who always felt
he deserved more.
You thought you deserved more.
So what did you do?
I charmed my way from the post
room to the trading floor
with great success.
Then I got greedy.
I started chasing increasingly
high-risk deals,
not all of them strictly legal.
People started to ask difficult
questions.
So you decided to cut and run?
The fraud I almost pulled off would
have sent me down for years,
so I said goodbye to Darren
and reinvented myself
as James Wyckham.
Which you did quite brilliantly.
Joining the sailing club
was the perfect way of infiltrating
Marlow society, and Michael
Liddington's patronage made
you entirely credible.
You see, you make it all sound so
cynical.
But the truth is, for the first time
in my life, I was happy.
I found a caring family
in Michael and Ursula, something
I'd never known.
And then I met Hayley, a woman
who I loved and who loved me back.
I was exactly where I always
wanted to be.
Until Kit found the photograph
and started questioning your story.
He discovered I'd been using
my position as Club Commodore
to defraud them of a great deal
of money.
Kit could have ruined everything.
And you couldn't let that happen.
He said he'd be willing to stay
silent if I overturn the objection
to his planning application
with the parish council
and resigned as commodore.
And if you didn't?
He'd go to the police.
I had seven days.
And then came the storm warning.
You knew only he would risk
sailing in those winds.
I went to Gregg's locker.
I picked up his sailing bag.
I put on his jacket and his cap
to disguise my identity.
I found Kit on the slipway.
He was struggling to control
the boom.
I offered to help him.
Yeah. If you grab that
You killed Kit,
set Gregg up as his murderer
and then did the same thing
to Harry Tynan.
It was a very high-risk strategy
staging the accident
at the boat yard.
Oh, well. You see,
gamblers always think
they can beat the odds,
and turning the spotlight
on Harry seemed the best way
to create further confusion,
move suspicion away from me.
Jackie told me they wouldn't be back
until 3pm.
The door was open, so I went in.
I took a saw to one of the struts -
just enough damage to make
it unstable.
I knew that it would only take
a small kick for the strut
to give way.
And that might have been that.
But Jackie was onto you.
Hayley asked me to see if he'd left
your mobile in the car.
He wasn't there.
But this was.
It wasn't Gregg I saw from the
train, was it?
It was you.
Jackie worked out that I staged
the accident.
She insisted that I get Harry
reinstated at the club and tell
Hayley the truth before she did.
But rather than let that happen,
you decided to kill her instead.
I didn't want to.
I'm really very, very fond
of Jackie
..but I had to see it through
or I'd lose everything.
I knew the ether wouldn't last long,
so I had to act quickly.
The generator fumes
should have killed her.
I thought I'd covered everything.
And then I overheard your friend
talking to Ursula
at the sailing club.
She knew that Jackie's phone
held an important clue,
but I couldn't unlock it.
And she was right.
Jackie had photographed Gregg's cap
in your car as evidence.
You knew Suzie was going back to
the boat yard, so you followed her.
You had to stop her talking
before it was too late.
And I nearly succeeded.
You sound almost proud.
No.
Not at all.
You've hurt a great many
people, Darren.
No-one forced you to lie to murder.
And if you're looking for sympathy,
you're wasting your time.
Ursula's told me everything.
Hayley, darling.
How could you do that to her?
She and Michael loved
you like a son.
I'd have made everything right.
You have to believe me.
You can't make any of that right.
Ever.
I just heard that Jackie's going
to make a full recovery.
Oh!Yeah. So we're off to the pub
to celebrate.
Do you know what the time is?
Not that kind of celebration,
Judith.
Lynn's laying on breakfast
for everyone.
Mrs Potts, Fred's a gift
that keeps on giving.
We found a substantial hoard
of Anglo-Saxon coins,
gold as well as silver,
and a not insignificant sum
will be due to the landowner.
So the Bounty's legacy turns out
to be valuable after all.
Lynn must be over the moon!
Nice one, Fred.
It seems we all have a lot
to celebrate.
Raise your mugs to honour Marlow's
newly discovered warlord -
to Fred!
Fred!
Judith.
It's thrilling, isn't it?
Discovery of this magnitude.
Oh, it certainly is.
It's a coup for Marlow.
We found another potential burial
site out near Cliveden.
I was wondering if you would care
to accompany me
on a speculative visit.
I'd be delighted.
Thank you.
Now, this is a tough one. Hm.
Bacon or sausage?
Do you know what? I'm going to have
both.
So you let Robin Hood go, then.
The sailing club decided not
to press charges as long
as all stolen goods were returned.
They'll be doing community
service, too.
Marlow isn't Marlow without
the boat yard and the Bounty.
Talk to her
Er, yeah.
Um, just as we're all here,
I just wanted to say congrats
to the boss for getting SIO and
putting Darren Benson behind bars
where he belongs.Yeah.
Well done.
Well, it wouldn't have happened
without every single one of you,
even if it wasn't all entirely
by the book.
Which is exactly as it should be.
Cheers!
Cheers!Cheers.
Cheers.Cheers.Cheers.
Cheers.Oh! Cheers!
There's been a death
at the sailing club.
We're investigating the murder
of Kit Harcourt, a highly
successful investment banker.
You didn't like him much, did you?
That's not what I said.
Sounds like you rubbed a few
people up the wrong way.
You did more than that to dad.
Do you think Greg is capable
of murder?
I saw a man pushed to the edge.
What's been taken?
A consignment of outboard motors.
There was something I couldn't get
out of my head,
that the theft
and the murder were connected.
CREAKS AND HE SCREAMS OU
Uh
Uh
Uh
There's someone under there.
Why haven't you called an ambulance?
Dad!
James, are you all right?Oh
So, what exactly did Jackie say?
That James Wickham decided
to have a nosey under his boat
before they got back
and it fell on him.
But he's OK?
Yeah, but Jackie's pretty shaken.
Suzie, what are you doing?
We told Jackie we were on our way.
Hang on.
This boat's been abandoned.
Oh, ye of little faith.
I told you Greg Cooper
would be on a boat.
But if it is him, where is he now?
I better call Tanika.
Come on. Jackie's waiting.
He's lucky to be alive.
It's one shock after another.
That's why we're here.
To make sure this incident isn't
related to Kit Harcourt's death
in any way.
Well, look, as I said,
it was an accident, pure and simple.
Bottom line, I should have waited
for Harry.
We understand Harry Tynham resented
the fact that you didn't support him
when Kit Harcourt accused him
of stealing.
The evidence was there.
I'm Club Commodore, so I had no
choice.
This is all water under the bridge,
and Harry still services our boats.
That's why I didn't think
it was worth bringing
it to your attention.
I really don't think this should be
investigated any further.
Please.
Harry and Jackie
have been through enough.
He's like the Scarlet Pimpernel.
They seek him here,
they seek him there.
Caesar did say he'd be on a boat.
All right, don't rub it in.
So, what now?
Well, what does a drinker do
when he runs out of booze?
They go buy more?
Any shops this side of the river?
No, but there is a pub
in staggering distance.
You've got to believe me.
I was working on that boat
this morning
and the struts were fine.
Dad's not capable of hurting anyone,
but the police spoke to both
of us earlier. There's something
I didn't tell them.
Dad got a letter from the parish
council that really upset him.
It's a compulsory purchase
order for the boatyard.
We're being forced
out of our own business.
No wonder he was so angry.
You don't think he's involved,
do you?
No.
No, of course not.
There must be information
about the application online.
I already searched it.
The applicant is Kit Harcourt,
but the rest is confidential.
So, there are some unofficial
channels that may be able
to help us get to the bottom of it.
Mrs Potts, look what we turned
up this morning.
Yes, it's marvellous, isn't it?
And it's such a rare find.
You know, we once uncovered a huge
cache of coins directly
beneath the warlords body
in a similar dig in Norfolk.
I remember reading about it.
Really?
I'd love to hear how you found
it, when you have a moment.
Well, I'd be delighted.
MOBILE VIBRATES
Oh, excuse me.
Sorry, I have to take this.
I do hope you'll be returning
forthwith.
Well, not quite yet, I'm afraid.
My duties as civilian advisor
have to come first.
And so far, it's all a bit
of a muddle.
Perhaps you and Mrs Eddingham
can help.
You mentioned the parish
council earlier.
Are both of you members?
Well, just me.
I'm a non-elected member,
mainly on the admin side.
So, you have access to documents?
What's all this about, Mrs Potts?
Well, we're looking for information,
specifically a compulsory purchase
order with this case number.
Might you consider doing a little
discreet investigation on my behalf?
Excuse me.
We're looking for Greg Cooper.
Oh. Not sure how much sense
you'll get out of him.
Right.
Thanks.
Greg Cooper?
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Kit Harcourt.
I don't know what you're on about.
Get him cuffed.
Come on.Get your hands off me.
I didn't even know he was dead,
so I can't have done it.
Make a statement at the station.
But I'm innocent, yeah?
I'll tell you this for nothing,
Kit Harcourt deserved everything
he got.
All right, mate, enough of that.
Come on, let's go.
Hey
They've just arrested Greg Cooper
for murder.
They've got nothing on us.
So far, so good.
I'm so sorry
the police are involved, Jackie.
We really didn't want that.
It's not your fault.
You do know his car's still here?
Which is partly why I'm ringing.
James is worried he's left
it unlocked.
Thinks he might have left
his mobile in the glove box?
I'll check for you.
Thanks, Jackie.
The car is open.
But the mobile
is not in the glove box.
What about the boot?
No, nothing here. Sorry.
It's a compulsory purchase
order for the boatyard.
The applicant is Kit Harcourt.
There was something I couldn't get
out of my head,
the possibility that the theft
and the murder
were connected, somehow.
Kit said he needed photographs
of members' younger selves.
I suspect he obtained it
under false pretences.
Mrs Potts, can I help?
Oh, I do hope so, Mrs Wyckham.
I believe you're in charge
of the club kit.
This is the kit room,
my littlekingdom.
How can I help?
I saw two of your members
on the river this morning.
Both of them were wearing red
sailing club jackets,
but the jacket caught on the drone
footage was blue.
I just wondered if you could
explain the significance.
Blue jackets are worn by senior
committee members only,
red jackets by ordinary members.
And when Harry Tynham left
the club, did he return his jacket?
I'm not sure, but I can check
for you.Thank you.
And is there anything else
in the kit that distinguishes rank?
Yes, the club caps.
Um Let me show you.
This is my husband's.
As Commodore,
his cap has three stripes.
And the rear commodore, Greg Cooper?
His has one stripe.
I'll show you.
Well, that's odd.
Greg normally leaves all his kit
at the club.
Judith said she'd meet us here.
Just had a horrible thought.
The guy Hoskins is coming back,
well, then, we're finished too.
Tanika was the one that appointed
us.Oh, God!
I hadn't considered that.
Thank you for meeting me here.
My source will be joining
us shortly.Oh, come on.
Spill the beans.
What did you find out?
It turns out that only senior
committee members get to wear blue
sailing jackets, which narrows
down our potential suspects.
All the current members have alibis,
except Greg Cooper. However,
Harry Tynham used to have a blue
jacket and may have kept it.
So that just leaves Greg
and Harry in the frame.
Well, or our mystery thief.
Psst! Mrs Potts!
Took some finding.
Locked away in quite
the wrong place,
but as parish council admin officer,
I have all the keys. You
can see from these plans,
that Kit Harcourt's house sits
above the boatyard site,
but he wanted river frontage,
Marlowe's holy Grail.
And Harry Tynham refused
his every offer.So, what happened?
Out of nowhere, the boatyard
was issued an urgent, dangerous
structure notice and the council
granted a compulsory purchase order
with immediate effect.
But there's nothing wrong
with that building.
Who reported it to the council?
Our chair, James Wyckham.
So, there we have it.
Kit Harcourt got what he wanted,
Harry's land,
with the help of James Wyckham,
who was then nearly killed
in the dangerous structure.
There's something really off here.
It's now clear that Harry Tynham
is being forced from the boatyard
he loved by Kit Harcourt
and James Wyckham.
Giving him motive to kill
both Kit and James.
We just had it confirmed
that one of the boat struts
had been deliberately sawn through.
I knew it wasn't an accident.
Harry Tynham knew that
James Wickham was coming
to inspect that boat. Sounds
like he set the whole thing up.
Now, I know this looks bad for
Harry, but I just don't believe it.
We can't ignore the evidence.
Bring him in.Sarge.
I have no idea where dad is.
He never came into work,
and he's not at home,
so I can't help you.There's been
a development, Miss Tynham.
Forensics have confirmed
that one of the boat struts
was deliberately tampered with.
That had nothing to do
with dad, 100%.
We still need to speak to him.
So if he does get in contact,
get him to call us immediately.
We have to talk.
No, it can't wait.
I need to speak to you now.
Do I have to do this again?
We had a fight.
I walked away, end of story.
Why were you so angry?
Vice Commodore was always
going to be mine, no question.
Then Kit decided he wanted
it for himself,
lied and cheated to get his own way.
The Commodore fell for it hook,
line and sinker.
I felt betrayed.
You said that Kit Harcourt's
death was the best news
you'd heard in years.
It doesn't mean I killed him.
Your DNA was found close
to the scene on a bottle
of naval gold.Well, maybe I dropped
it during the fight.
And this was caught on camera
at the end of the slipway,
about the time Mr Harcourt
was murdered.
It was containing your phone,
wallet and smartwatch.
That bag was in my locker.
Well, how did it get in the river?
I have no idea.
Just one more thing, Mr Cooper,
a blue sailing jacket was worn
by the person walking
away from Mr Harcourt's dead body.
We believe that jacket belongs
to you.
All of my kit was in my locker,
along with the bag.
Can't you see someone is
trying to frame me?
RINGS DOORBELL
The outboard motors have arrived.
Operation Coliseum is go!
And that is what exactly?
No time to explain.
Leave your bags inside. We've got
work to do.
PHONE RINGS/VIBRATES
Hi, it's Suzie. Leave a message.
MOBILE BEEPS
I know who it is.
Sending proof now.
MUFFLED SCREAMS
How on earth did you dig
that hole on your own?
I mean, covering it up was hard
enough.
Professor Gifford lent me
some volunteers.
Are you sure about this, Judith?
Someone could get hurt.
Well, according to the Romans,
it's all perfectly safe.
It's how they trapped wild animals
unharmed for their gains.
Oh, hence Operation Colosseum!
And whoever we catch could lead
us to our killer.
All we have to do now is wait.
It's like being back at guide camp.
I got kicked out of the Brownies
for masterminding a rebellion.
I've never really been a joiner.
Well, you joined us?
Yeah, but you and Becks
are rebels too, but you
You keep it under wraps.
A rebellious vicar's wife.
I'll take that.
Got a new glow about you, MrsP.
Really?Suzie's right.
Coming out of retirement
really suits you.
And we're not the only ones
who've noticed.
Archaeology was always something
I thought I'd return
to when the time was right.
So, why now?
My whole world's opened up recently,
partly thanks to you two.
It's given me the courage to embrace
new experiences,
rather than shy away from them.
As Confucius once said, we have two
lives, and the second begins
when we realise we only have one.
I'm going to live my second
life to the full.
Amen to that.
CAR ENGINE
We have a visitor.
TWIG SNAPS
Suzie!
TWIGS SNAP
Argh!
Yes!
We got him!
Whoa!
Oh
HE EXHALES
Harry, what are you doing?
CAR IGNITION FAILS
Becks!With me.
IGNITION FAILS
Come on.
Come on!
Tanika, I think we've found
your thieves.
It's many years since I've stayed
up till dawn.
It was all worth it, though.
I'm just sorry our captive turned
out to be Harry Tynham.
Could he be our killer?
I just checked my phone, and Jackie
left me a message last night.
"I know who it is.
Sending proof now."
Whatever she was sending,
I didn't get it.
I've tried calling her,
she ain't picking up.
I've got to get over there.
We're coming with you.
Jackie?
Jackie!
Oh, no!
Jacks?
It's OK.
Can you hear us?
Jacks?She's breathing.
Jacks.
Ambulance, please.
Police haven't found her phone.
If only I'd picked up her call.
Well, this isn't your fault, Suzie.
I'm going to have to talk to Harry.
He'll be devastated.
At least this takes suspicion
away from him.
He was with us when it happened.
He would never, ever do anything
that would put Jackie in danger.
The police won't let you speak
to him now.
We all need some sleep.
I suppose you're right.
We'll see you in the station later.
What IS that?
It looks like gobbledegook.
Everything means something.
Why didn't you tell us any
of this before, Mr Tynham?
We had no money coming in.
No prospect of any.
Nobody wanted anything to do
with me any more.
I thought I had nothing to lose.
Well, Jackie's belief in me never
wavered through all of the slander
and the lies.
And now, I've let her down so badly.
I have to see her.
We found a stash
of outboard motors in your lock
up at the bounty,
along with a pair
of oil-stained trainers.
Andthis gold watch.
Now, you told us that the robbery
took place between 2 and 4 am.
That's right.
But your van was caught on camera
near the sailing club at 5:31.
So, how do you explain that?
We were unloading the motors
from Harry's van when I realised
I didn't have my sweatshirt.
It's got the bounty logo on it.
I knew it could identify
me, so I went back.
The sweatshirt was on the floor
of the boat store.
That's when I must have trod
in the oil.
How about the watch?
As I walked down the path, I saw
this beautiful old watch
just lying there, so I took it.
We believe that the killer
was there at the same time.
If they were, I didn't see him
or the body. I swear to God.
Why should we believe anything
you're saying, Mr Hawkins?
Because everything I've told
you is true.
Look, all I wanted was to try
and stop the bounty from going
under.
But no-one cares about that.
Forensics have found traces
of ether around her mouth.
Jackie Tynham was unconscious,
pre-exposure to carbon monoxide.
It's confirmed,
we're looking at attempted murder.
First, James Wyckham and now Jackie.
Both attempts were unsuccessful.
Poor Jackie. Have you found
her phone?No. Digital.
We're trying to access her cloud,
but there's no guarantee
that it's been backed up.
There is something that might help.
I found this on the computer screen
in the office at the boatyard.
Oh, looks like the text
my mate sends his missus
after he's had a few.
I'm inclined to think more
like the ancient Egyptians.
They use substitution
and concealment techniques
to disguise communications.
Can't hang around here,
doing nothing.
I've got to try and find
Jackie's phone.
Any news on the watch?
Jed Hawkins admits to stealing it
from the scene, but we're struggling
to identify its owner.
And there's no serial number
on the watch, which
makes it harder to trace.
I know someone who might be able
to help.
Oh, Suzie.
I was hoping to meet somebody
from the investigation.
How's poor Jackie?
Such awful news about her accident.
It might be a bit more sinister
than that, Ursula.Sinister?
Jackie sent me a message saying
she knew who Kit's killer was,
and she was sending me something
to prove it, but it never arrived.
That's dreadful.
On my way to the boatyard now.
It's the last place
that Jackie's phone was used.
I don't know, maybe the police
missed something.
Come on, girl.
Come on, with me.
Who exactly are we going to see?
William Locke,
a private watch specialist.
He used to service
the Bishop's collection.
KNOCKS ON DOOR
We can bring the watch
in if it helps.No need.
I believe I recognise it.
One moment please.
As I thought.
I've serviced this watch
regularly for many years.
For whom?The old club
Commodore, Michael Liddington.
Ursula's husband.
Right.
I'm going to find that phone.
Um
Ta.
Oh
My dog
My dog!
She was just here!
Did you see anyone?No.
I'll check with my colleague.
Luna!
The watch belonged to Michael
Liddington, but it hasn't
been serviced since he died.
Which is seven years ago.
Who owned it after that?
The lab finally got a result
on the DNA from the watch link.
It's a match for someone
on the police database.
A Darren Benson from Balham, London,
wanted for fraud,
reported missing in 1996.
No record of his existence
since then.
What was Darren Benson doing
at the crime scene and why
was he wearing
Michael Liddingston's watch?
Luna's gone. I left there for two
minutes and all I found was a collar
and a leash.
You think it was the dognappers?
Maybe she just slipped her collar
and she ran home.
We'll make sure our mobile
units are aware.
I've got to go home.
I'm going to see if Luna's there.
I'm sure everything will be fine.
You call us when you get there.
Let us know if you find her.
Luna!
Luna!
If you want to see your dog
alive, come to Gordon's Creek
with a grand in cash.
Look for a yellow van.
Leave your phone and tell no-one.
I've tried all the models I know.
Acrostic, the Caesar shift,
Alberti's disk, even
the Vigenere square.
But Jackie's code contains
punctuation,
which is most irregular.Becks.
So sorry to intrude, Ursula, but
the watch link found at the crime
scene has finally been matched,
the watch itself.
Mr Locke says it belonged
to your late husband.
Michael left that watch
to James in his will.
Did he mention breaking the strap?
Why would he?
I saw him wearing it today.
James worked from the stable block.
You could ask him yourself.
Finally! You are an extremely
hard person to get hold of,
DS Malik.
Sorry, but I knew what was coming.
I wanted to solve the case
before that happened and go out
on a high.
Go out? I don't understand.
Well, with DI Hoskins coming back.
But he's not.
That's why I wanted to see you.
We'd like you to replace him
on a permanent basis.
KNOCKS ON DOOR
Sorry to interrupt.
It's just Digital
managed to access Jackie's cloud.
The last image she took
was of a blue cap with one stripe.
Sailing club confirmed, it
belonged to Greg Cooper.
What does James use this place for?
Sailing club business, mainly.
He retired from finance
many years ago.
He normally tells me
if he's popping out.
Sorry to waste your time.
Distract her.
Such beautiful roses, Ursula.
What are they?
Damasks. My absolute favourite.
They have the most wonderful
fragrance.
Such a lovely property.
You are lucky, Ursula.
Yes, I know. Excuse me.
Mrs Potts,
what on earth do you think?
I thought you said James
had retired.
"Leave the van.
Walk up the river.
"Head for the old boat
by the Swallows Reach."
Nothing.
This is locked.
Oh. Try this.
It's an invoice from a watch
dealer in Henley.
On the same day as the murder.
It's the same model.
Which is why Ursula believed
he was still wearing it.
Why has he got this?
There's no James Wickham here,
but there is a Darren Benson.
Darren Benson, the missing
fraudster whose DNA was found
on the watch link.
He looks familiar.
Judith, we need to call Tanika.
Everyone can touch type
nowadays, but you have to start
with your hands above the home key.
What are you talking about?
Jackie was confused, losing
consciousness,
desperate to tell us something,
but he hadn't realised
that her hands were one key out,
so she wrote this.
Whereas if the hands were above
the home key,
where she thought they were,
she'd have written this.
Any sign of him?
No, but we'll find him.
We've got all units looking
for Wickham now.
We make a good team.Ma'am.
Excuse me.
I'll try her again.
Mrs Potts!
It's a disaster.
I just called my bank.
James has taken all our savings.
Everything. I've been such a fool.
Oh, he fooled everyone,
Mrs Lidington.
James Wyckham is an extremely
manipulative man.
But we'll find him and we'll get
that money back, I promise you.
Still no answer from Suzie.
I'm getting really worried.
Well, she said she was going home.
Let's try her there.
DOG BARKS
Oh!
I'm coming, girl!
It doesn't look like anyone's home.
Suzie has a spare key.
Her phone's here.
It's a ransom demand telling
her to go to Gordon's Creek.
But we'll be way behind her now.
Luna's collar is linked
to a tracking app.
I saw Suzie put it in her bag
at the station.
Which means we'll be able to track
where Suzie is right now.
OK.
She's on the towpath, just past
Hedsor.
We'll take this.
I'm hoping we might need it.
Ohh!
DOG BARKS
I'm here, girl.
There's Suzie's van.
And there's the yellow one.
Look.
She's heading for an old boat
by Swallows Reach.
According to the app,
she's already there.
Come on.
Oh, no! Oh!
Good girl.
It's OK. I'm here now.
You're so good.
You're so good.
Huh?
What?
Hello?
Hello.
No.
It's stopped moving.
She's there.
MOBILE BUZZES
Oh.
Tanika, Suzie's on a boat
by Swallows Reach. Come quickly.
Something's wrong.
They're ten minutes away.
Is it just me, or is that boat
sinking?
SHE CRIES OU
There has got to be some way out.
No!
They're all sealed!
Agh!
I don't know what to do!
He's heading this way.
What do we do?Come on.
DOG WHIMPERS
Oh!
Take this and pull!
Aghhhh!
Aghh!
It's over, Mr Wyckham.
You're not going anywhere.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Not for much longer now.
Notanyway.
SIREN WAILS
I'm in here.
Help, please!
You OK in there?
Yeah, yeah.
Hang tight.
We're going to get you out.
Oh!
Look at you!
Suzie and Luna are safe.
Thank goodness!The police
are on their way.
You've led us quite a merry dance,
haven't you, Mr Wyckham?
Or should I say Mr Benson?
That is you, isn't it?
How did you find out?
I went to Kit's house, convinced
I'd find something useful.
And I did - a club committee
photograph from over 20 years ago.
But it wasn't until we discovered
your secret office that we realised
why it was significant.
How did KIPP make the connection
between you and Darren Benson?
Kit worked for the same
city bank as I did -
long after me, of course.
One of the traders I worked with
died last year, and his obituary
showed our old team photograph.
Kit thought he recognised me,
but he had to be sure.
And then he confronted
you with what he found out.
I went down for an early morning
sale and Kit was already there.
Beautiful morning.
Isn't it, Darren?
Who was Darren Benson?
Why did he need to make him
disappear?
Darren is a boy from nowhere
with nothing who always felt
he deserved more.
You thought you deserved more.
So what did you do?
I charmed my way from the post
room to the trading floor
with great success.
Then I got greedy.
I started chasing increasingly
high-risk deals,
not all of them strictly legal.
People started to ask difficult
questions.
So you decided to cut and run?
The fraud I almost pulled off would
have sent me down for years,
so I said goodbye to Darren
and reinvented myself
as James Wyckham.
Which you did quite brilliantly.
Joining the sailing club
was the perfect way of infiltrating
Marlow society, and Michael
Liddington's patronage made
you entirely credible.
You see, you make it all sound so
cynical.
But the truth is, for the first time
in my life, I was happy.
I found a caring family
in Michael and Ursula, something
I'd never known.
And then I met Hayley, a woman
who I loved and who loved me back.
I was exactly where I always
wanted to be.
Until Kit found the photograph
and started questioning your story.
He discovered I'd been using
my position as Club Commodore
to defraud them of a great deal
of money.
Kit could have ruined everything.
And you couldn't let that happen.
He said he'd be willing to stay
silent if I overturn the objection
to his planning application
with the parish council
and resigned as commodore.
And if you didn't?
He'd go to the police.
I had seven days.
And then came the storm warning.
You knew only he would risk
sailing in those winds.
I went to Gregg's locker.
I picked up his sailing bag.
I put on his jacket and his cap
to disguise my identity.
I found Kit on the slipway.
He was struggling to control
the boom.
I offered to help him.
Yeah. If you grab that
You killed Kit,
set Gregg up as his murderer
and then did the same thing
to Harry Tynan.
It was a very high-risk strategy
staging the accident
at the boat yard.
Oh, well. You see,
gamblers always think
they can beat the odds,
and turning the spotlight
on Harry seemed the best way
to create further confusion,
move suspicion away from me.
Jackie told me they wouldn't be back
until 3pm.
The door was open, so I went in.
I took a saw to one of the struts -
just enough damage to make
it unstable.
I knew that it would only take
a small kick for the strut
to give way.
And that might have been that.
But Jackie was onto you.
Hayley asked me to see if he'd left
your mobile in the car.
He wasn't there.
But this was.
It wasn't Gregg I saw from the
train, was it?
It was you.
Jackie worked out that I staged
the accident.
She insisted that I get Harry
reinstated at the club and tell
Hayley the truth before she did.
But rather than let that happen,
you decided to kill her instead.
I didn't want to.
I'm really very, very fond
of Jackie
..but I had to see it through
or I'd lose everything.
I knew the ether wouldn't last long,
so I had to act quickly.
The generator fumes
should have killed her.
I thought I'd covered everything.
And then I overheard your friend
talking to Ursula
at the sailing club.
She knew that Jackie's phone
held an important clue,
but I couldn't unlock it.
And she was right.
Jackie had photographed Gregg's cap
in your car as evidence.
You knew Suzie was going back to
the boat yard, so you followed her.
You had to stop her talking
before it was too late.
And I nearly succeeded.
You sound almost proud.
No.
Not at all.
You've hurt a great many
people, Darren.
No-one forced you to lie to murder.
And if you're looking for sympathy,
you're wasting your time.
Ursula's told me everything.
Hayley, darling.
How could you do that to her?
She and Michael loved
you like a son.
I'd have made everything right.
You have to believe me.
You can't make any of that right.
Ever.
I just heard that Jackie's going
to make a full recovery.
Oh!Yeah. So we're off to the pub
to celebrate.
Do you know what the time is?
Not that kind of celebration,
Judith.
Lynn's laying on breakfast
for everyone.
Mrs Potts, Fred's a gift
that keeps on giving.
We found a substantial hoard
of Anglo-Saxon coins,
gold as well as silver,
and a not insignificant sum
will be due to the landowner.
So the Bounty's legacy turns out
to be valuable after all.
Lynn must be over the moon!
Nice one, Fred.
It seems we all have a lot
to celebrate.
Raise your mugs to honour Marlow's
newly discovered warlord -
to Fred!
Fred!
Judith.
It's thrilling, isn't it?
Discovery of this magnitude.
Oh, it certainly is.
It's a coup for Marlow.
We found another potential burial
site out near Cliveden.
I was wondering if you would care
to accompany me
on a speculative visit.
I'd be delighted.
Thank you.
Now, this is a tough one. Hm.
Bacon or sausage?
Do you know what? I'm going to have
both.
So you let Robin Hood go, then.
The sailing club decided not
to press charges as long
as all stolen goods were returned.
They'll be doing community
service, too.
Marlow isn't Marlow without
the boat yard and the Bounty.
Talk to her
Er, yeah.
Um, just as we're all here,
I just wanted to say congrats
to the boss for getting SIO and
putting Darren Benson behind bars
where he belongs.Yeah.
Well done.
Well, it wouldn't have happened
without every single one of you,
even if it wasn't all entirely
by the book.
Which is exactly as it should be.
Cheers!
Cheers!Cheers.
Cheers.Cheers.Cheers.
Cheers.Oh! Cheers!
