Howdy. Hey, better late than never.

Important client.

You've got ketchup on your tie.

At breakfast meeting. May I introduce our esteemed investigators, Luella

Shakespeare and Frank Hathaway. This is Sam Albany, the manager of the Avon

Roofs.

Which I have discovered is our local football team and not a doggie taker.

A Premier League legend.

In my office.

Yeah, long time ago. You are the saviour of our club.

It is a great honour for you to be here. I mean, it's an honour for me to...

Frank, I think you might want that back.

Oh, it's nice to meet you too, Frank. And the club is the reason I'm here.

got a big game coming up. Final game of the season. Three points away from

promotion. If we make it to Saturday, someone's trying to sabotage the team.

Started small about three weeks ago. Missing kit, punctured balls.

Out.

I'll make some tea.

I, uh, brought this to show you.

Oh -ho!

Yvonne! And on and on and on!

And on!

Yeah! Someone put itching agent on the shirt.

Caused chaos.

Then things escalated a few days ago, and I'm worried someone might get hurt.

can't have anything tanking our chances of winning.

We'll take the case.

Yeah, there's one snag.

The owner can't know anything about it.

He's refusing to accept that there's even a problem.

Sounds like the team's going undercover.

Should have done with a bit of a clean, but I suppose we'll just have to make

do. Oh, boys, nice timing. We're about to have some photos done.

This is the owner, Dan Kresick. He inherited the club from his late father

year. Sam's rude that day ever since. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Good to meet

fellas.

I'm Frank, Sam's assistant manager.

I'm Rhys, Walton Spurs' assistant city assistant manager.

He shines a boot.

Fantastic.

Sorry, I'm going to have to put my bath hat on for a bit.

I thought we discussed making big decisions together.

Well, I don't want to tread on anyone's toes, but I need them. Why?

You're doing brilliantly.

We specialise in defence.

We do what we do so some can do what he does.

Yeah. Sounds expensive.

No, man. We do it for the love of the game, man.

No, we do it for some free tickets next season, man.

Well, good enough of them.

Welcome aboard.

Are you ready for us, Ella?

Yes. Oh, enchanté.

Ella is a fashion photographer.

Optical stylist.

She's doing a feature on the club.

Yes. You want me? You may.

Enchanté. Right.

Are you ready? Take position, gentlemen.

What now?

Pardon me.

Oh,

that's working, isn't it?

I will have whoever did this used for goal practice.

Look at this.

All ruined.

Ella, Frank, Walton, this is Leah, our team sponsor, and Kyle, team captain. So

my bar is called The Board and Panda. You know, it's a very classy name for a

very classy joint. But I'll tell you what it's not called, Kyle.

Panda, because I am not running a zoo for animals with hair loss. Well, the

manufacturer should fix that. Well, apparently someone had called up and

authorised the change, so no refund.

Like we need any more bug luck.

Kyle's all in now. Don't worry about it, mate.

Well, you keep saying that, and bug things keep happening.

Hey, now, my dad always used to say, um, setbacks are just success.

Checking you're still awake.

He's trying to sob us off again.

This wouldn't have happened in your dad's day. Leah, it's not his fault. Oh,

then whose is it?

Luke.

Kyle. Leah. Just let her cool off.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Come on, lads, let's do some

drills. Back and forth passes.

What's going on, son? You're looking flat out there.

How can I concentrate with that?

It's bad luck.

It's superstitious nonsense.

Look, a couple of mishaps aren't going to make you miss your turns.

Look, I'm trying.

All right?

All right.

What's all this about?

Take five, Frank.

Run some drills.

Keep up the good work.

Come on, boys!

Come on, get in there, babe! Get in there!

Tackle, not tickle!

Hello. Hi.

Oh, listen, I am so sorry about earlier. I was having a right mare about the

kit.

Don't worry.

See you for photos, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Do you want an Insta advert?

Do you want, like, both?

Surprise me. OK.

Right. I'm going to come down here. OK.

OK?

So,

you own the Borden Panda, huh? I do, yeah. The hottest cocktail bar in the

I know, but it's trying to get inside since it opened.

But obviously it's like...

Two shoots all over the world.

Who's got the time?

How did you get into football, then?

Hot guys, in short, signed me up, Ella.

Plus, I mean, I bagged myself the hottest, didn't I? Oi!

Aw.

Thank you.

Got him well trained, haven't you?

On the pitch.

I mean, he's my one and only.

So, you know, earlier,

all the kerfuffle with the kit and everything, Kyle mentioned something

more bad luck. What was he talking about there?

Oh, yeah, that's nothing that's going to break our pride.

I mean, when the roughs go up a league and the big teams come hankering after,

my man, with his feet, my brains, uh -oh, we go to the top.

Thumbs it up? Yeah.

Great.

Pretty good.

For a pub vibe.

What are you doing here, Harvey?

I've got a meeting with your boss sorting timings for the match.

I feel bad.

You've got them believing they could actually win.

Who's this teller?

Howard Harvey.

Manager of Kyneton Rovers. Our rivals for promotion.

Hey! Do you ever ask what he's been doing the last 20 years?

Do you ever wonder what the comeback king's secret sauce is?

If only you could bottle that skill, eh?

One in front of the lads.

You've got to come and say to me, do it in private.

You don't deserve to win.

And then I said to Sam, he's got more pep than Guardiola.

I suppose you have to be there.

Right, so...

We tried to talk to the staff about the sabotage, but the owner has banned them

from mentioning it. That or they're just scared of Leah. I didn't find anything

untoward either, except that rival manager did seem very angry with Sam.

Yeah, but he wouldn't have been able to get in to do anything anyway.

Frank, did you talk to the team?

Frank.

Do you think you're taking this manager thing a bit far?

Of course I'm not.

Come on, you two, jump to it.

Sam said he'd meet us here before the warm -up. OK, so, what's the plan for

today? Right, well, I'm going to use wingbacks, push them up and use a low

block.

OK, I was talking about the investigation.

Oh, right.

Look at that.

Like how people tidy up after themselves. Could we be putting some

somewhere for some...

Frank.

Well, well, well.

I didn't peg you two for the sporty type.

Hello, dear Keeler.

You found the body?

Any confessions to make?

Yeah, I've never liked him, was there?

He was strangled.

I think I'll wait for the autopsy report.

Thanks, though.

Someone's been trying to sabotage the club. That's why we're here undercover.

Sam hired us.

Oh, dear.

Did you get paid beforehand, or...? I'm not in the mood, Joe.

A good man just died. Yeah, I'm sorry.

But if you don't know why, you can stay out of my crime scene.

I'm not going anywhere.

Really?

All right.

Let's see what the owner thinks, having a bunch of PIs snooping around.

I'm sure he won't mind. No, no.

If you blow our cover, that could put us in danger, and it could put you on a

charge of professional misconduct. We wouldn't want that, would we?

I'm fine with it, actually.

So if that's everything... Fine.

I'll be watching you.

Okay.

I take it we're not leaving until we find Sam's killer.

Let's go and talk to Dan. His car was the only one parked here this morning

we arrived.

You think I wanted any of this?

The stress is killing me. Then, given the circumstances, it makes sense to

cancel the match.

It's not your call to make.

This is a private meeting, mate.

Sam wouldn't want you to pull out.

You've no idea what he'd want.

And you do.

And I wonder which team would go up a league if we pulled out.

You're making a big mistake.

Can you believe it?

It feels like a nightmare I can't wake up from.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It's not just my loss.

The club is running on fumes financially.

Shareholders are breathing down my neck for a win, and now... Maybe you should

try tightening your belt.

A little?

Yeah, I mean, what would change around here if Avon won?

Going up a league would bring fresh sponsors, bigger ticket sales.

All of which would give the club a fighting chance.

If we lose, there's no cash.

Bye -bye, Avon FC.

That does sound overwhelming.

This place was my dad's life.

Now it's all on my shoulders.

I'm here most nights, worrying.

If you were here last night, did you notice anything suspicious?

Fell asleep. Sorry. Is Harvey right? Should I cancel?

Sam wouldn't want that. Neither would your dad.

Their legacy deserves better.

And my dad would probably haunt me.

OK.

There's an upside to everything, and you're it.

Me? You're the new manager, right? The deputy steps up.

Never let it be said that when the call came, I didn't answer it.

Mr Kresnik?

DS Keeler.

Arden Police.

I need to interview you regarding the murder of one of your employees.

I must confess, I'm not wearing trousers.

Well, when you're decent.

Ah, and you, sir, you're the assistant manager. Is that right?

He's the manager now. He's been promoted.

Oh, really?

Sturdy motive for murder, that.

What? Well, I'll need to interview you down the station too, Pronto. You're

wasting my time.

All club employees are being interviewed.

You are an employee here.

Are you not?

Sabotage. Murder.

What next?

I hear you.

But it's making us think of King Henry on the Mornes and Crispins.

His team thought it was all gunning belly up.

We few.

We happy few.

We're not happy, though, are we?

Unless Henry's the new manager, we're done for.

And what bigger side do you need?

We're in the away dressing room.

What's wrong with the away dressing room?

Don't speak it there.

Fine, have your sweaters, please.

Faith it.

Sam's gone and the club's cursed.

Colin, let's get out of here.

Oh, weird.

Let's go and kick some things for Sam late.

Here. Oh, oh.

You OK?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah. What have you done to your hand?

I said I'm fine.

Yeah, sorry.

Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry.

I'm just still, still learning.

What a waste of a day.

Keeler's got his coming. You know what they say.

Massive moustache, tiny brain.

Yes.

Any news about Sam and Harvey?

Using my considerable skills, I managed to get the skinny from one of Sam's

former teammates.

Back when Sam was playing in the Premier League, Harvey was in the under -18

squad at the same club.

But he got the boot and never played professionally again.

You can't blame that on Sam.

Well, my source said Sam was a big drinker.

Harvey made some noise about it, so Sam had him kicked out.

Harvey had the motive, but we don't even know if he was there.

And why kill Sam now?

Who's this?

That's Kyle.

Fresh scabs?

Mm -hm.

Kind of wounds you might get if you just garrotted somebody.

Say, with a net bag?

But why kill Sam?

I mean, his death would jeopardise Kyle's future.

Look at this.

Oh, very handsome.

No, here.

Looks like Sam and Leah. They're arguing.

Yeah. Maybe over Kyle?

I mean, you heard Sam. He was pushing him really hard. Football managers

mince words.

Yeah, well, that might have made him some enemies, eh?

I think we should go and look round Sam's office, shall we? See if we can

some answers.

Just up the stairs.

Look at all these.

See? Nothing like changes, or the shorts get shorter and longer again.

Frank, this guy could be you in another life.

Yeah, that's me dad.

What?

Yeah, after we moved here, he was the goalie. Six years.

How have you never told me that?

Well, you never asked.

Oh,

I bet little Frank was...

Really cute, running about, causing mischief.

Mischief? You're wrong, your dad.

You know, the roughs were his life.

Used to go and watch him train.

And then we'd get some chips on the way home. Every match... Oh, it's all right,

all right, all right.

Don't get all weepy on me.

No.

I've got an invite to the board and Panda.

Leah is holding impromptu drinks to remember Sam.

And I'm on the list.

I'm sure you're invited. Now, the big question is what to wear, isn't it?

Says, if Versace did funerals.

Sounds so respectful.

I'll check the computer.

Hmm.

Hound.

Are you a dog?

You cracked it.

Sam wanted a pet.

No, but he might have wanted a mascot.

That's right, let's tilt on here.

Oh! Hey!

Oh,

look,

messages from Sam to Leah.

Not so rough next time you put my back out.

And Leah, I'll be gentle.

Well, maybe that's what it is. That's what they were fighting about, a lover's

tiff. We don't know that for sure, though, do we?

Yeah, but Carl was upset with Sam, wasn't he, when they were training?

he'd found out that they were having an affair.

I'm sorry.

I know how much Sam in this place means to you.

Oh, there's messages.

Shall I? Yes.

Sam, hiya. Yeah, I've got an idea for defence.

Just ignore that one.

Sam, I just wanted to say... Ah, you did.

We don't need to.

I was dreaming about... Oh, no, we don't.

I can't believe you stabbed me in the back like this. We need to talk now.

Well, well.

Not so chipper there, was he?

No.

Now, this is the side of football I can get behind.

Oh, yes, I knew I belonged here.

And all our possible suspects are here, so it's a bonus.

Hello. Hi.

Oh, thank you so much for coming.

I mean, it's all very last minute, but there are three drinks, and there are

also crypt -themed canopies. And, obviously, it's mandatory hashtag when

posting. Whatever happens to cheese signies and the chorus of You'll Never

Alone?

I don't think you just... You've answered your own question, haven't you?

Anyway, so mingle and mourn, because, you know, we're here for Sam, so go and

enjoy.

Three drinks, lips will be loosened. Oh, yes, but we keep our heads clear, so...

Time for an old P .I. trick.

Where I made this 20 pounds disappear?

No, you flip it to the barman to keep our drinks dry.

H2O. Yeah.

Daffer? Gears.

Noticed anything?

I've noticed quite a few people gazing at me.

Good looks are a curse on this bed.

Right. Hello.

Interesting one. You see that couple over there?

Mm -hmm.

I'm with them.

We're going to be ordering normal cocktails all night, but don't put any

in them.

Huh? Got it?

You understand?

Yeah. Mm -hmm.

Getting my groove on now.

No, no, no.

Those are for you. There you go.

That's for you.

Dad always spent more time at the club than at home.

How are we doing here?

Look at that. That's far too chunky to be a condolence card.

Let me check that out.

You know, it's OK if you've got mixed feelings about Sam. It's natural.

What? No, the man was a legend.

Hi, proper Bobby Robson.

But legends do cast a deep, big shadow, like.

I mean, his word could be treated as gospel, which could be tough.

Right.

Is that why you left that big, angry voicemail for him?

How do you know about that?

there. I was there when you listened to it, because I'd done some headshots.

No,

I discovered Sam was organising a meeting of the shareholders behind my

Oh, right.

Did you think he was trying to push you out?

That's what I thought.

But Sam swore that he was just going to ask them to increase investments in the

first boost of finance.

Wanted to lend a hand, did he?

Sam always put the club first.

I apologised to him and he left.

If I'd have known that was the last time that I... Excuse me.

Sorry.

That wasn't me.

It was a chair.

Harvey's hide held it.

I noticed a restricted room.

It's a VIP area.

When the course clears, you distract the bouncer.

I'm on in. These pretend shots, they're actually pretty tasty.

Another bouncer locked to lose a lure?

It's a BSM.

BHS. IBS. What?

Anyone for ping pong?

We're not supposed to bet.

because you are no coach.

How did you know?

I googled you.

Kyle heard you saying your real name, so I'm guessing that Sam hired you, did

he? To try and stop all the sabotage?

OK, yes, I'm correct. Thank you. So, I'm going to want that video back.

Oh, the video. Why would you want to keep it?

Er, isn't it obvious?

I'm trying to blackmail Harvey to throw the match.

Well, you're forcing him to lose.

Well, I couldn't leave my future up to chance, could I? And I'm not... just

talking about me and kyle because if abon wins we all win well bunking up

sam was worth it me and sam now we have seen the messages going easy

on him so you wouldn't put his back out pilates i was helping him stay sober

a bit of regular exercise someone lovely to talk to and what part of the 12

-step program was laying into him hey exhibit there oh

of pressure when all the sabotage started. He was and... Well, he fell off

wagon and we got into it. And you thought he was a liability?

I can't have any weak links.

And did Sam heed your warning? Eh?

We've seen what you can do to people who get in your way.

I'm here to win.

Do you really think that you could lead our players to victory?

Hmm? Hand over our leverage and you destroy a team that you've loved your

life? Are you really that selfish?

Kyle looks how I feel.

Avon ruffs?

More like Avon duck.

All right, just keep it down, will you?

You see, that's the problem with amateurs.

Amateurs thinking they can match the pros.

Your armchair expert tactics just don't cut it, do they?

Speak no more.

These words like daggers enter in my ears.

I've cleared the crime scene.

You can use your dressing room now.

Might need a clean before hand up.

Tidy up the locker room, will you? I think I'm more used...

Oh,

thanks.

I've just been looking up her hound. You know, the word I found on the notebook

in Sam's office.

Just felt like it might be relevant.

Find anything?

Lots of cute dog videos.

Insurance company, property developer, local gym, toilet cleaner.

Oh. Look, it's not your fault.

Leah's put you in an impossible position, danging the black man in front

It's the big match tomorrow. We're no closer to cracking this.

We don't even know if the sabotage has got anything to do with the murder.

You know, My dad wanted me to be a goalie like him.

Did he?

Were you any good?

Couldn't catch a ball to save me life.

Didn't stop me trying, though.

Arthur Hathaway's lad does not quit.

Truth is, it wasn't me.

Do you feel like you disappointed him?

I never said anything but I knew.

Well, you've got to live your life, haven't you?

I bet your dad was really proud.

No idea.

You know, you always think you're going to have time to fix things, don't you?

And one day you get a call.

Go on, get out of my car. Go and be your friend.

What's all this?

Armchair experts.

You get them comfy, they relax, pool their knowledge.

It's like having a team of coaches.

Right,

so why did you call me?

Who's that?

The video.

Well, you've got a sure thing there.

There's no fun in that.

Here.

That's the only copy.

You know, I never wished Sam dead.

I wanted to beat him, fair and square.

Bring it on.

Right.

I had an awful dream that a guy in hell was a P .E. lesson.

Where have you been? You've been calming your morning.

It's morning.

It's bizarre. I remember having a hot flush and feeling drowsy and then

What were you doing before you backed out?

I had some water and then I found something down the back of the water

It's somebody's medication.

They're prescribed to Kyle.

Oh, great.

Look. The whole gang's here.

Undercover snakes.

Let me explain.

Sam hired us to stop the sabotage. Do you mean accuse us of murder?

They're trying to ruin us, Sam.

I should have known.

No one's that bad at coaching football.

We're on your side.

We stopped her from blackmailing Harvey so you could have a fair crack at the

game. You stopped a surefire way of his winning.

When you put it like that... Toss them!

Hang on, who's going to lead the team?

The match starts in an hour.

Oh, please, a bald panda could have done a better job than you.

Cool down already.

OK.

We've pain meds for sedapolin, which is a prescription muscle relaxant with

intense drowsy side effects.

They must have been in the water. That's what's knocked you out.

Says they're prescribed for degenerative disorders.

Oh, poor Kyle.

He's been in pain for the past few days, but why would he sabotage the team?

Well, if his condition got too much, but pulling out would feel like letting

everyone down.

This way, he's not to blame.

What if Sam caught him sabotaging the water and then things just got out of

hand? If Kyle kills Sam to stop the mutts, there's no telling how far he

go. We need to get back in there before it's too late.

Come on, Kyle, get in there!

And that's the goal of Kyle Shabir.

You made that lucky.

It's one all, Dan, don't panic. We are going to win this.

square here at Sonneville Stadium.

Avon Rock 1, Climpton Rovers 1.

Roads away! Kyle, where are you going?

This way.

No one comes back here.

Kyle!

Just get out of my way.

Look, you can run, but you won't get very far.

Please, just talk to us.

We found the medication you used to drug the team's water supply.

Well, you found some pills.

So what? Look, I'm not going back.

Did you put the drugs in the water so it'd be easier to kill Sam?

Sam?

I never hurt him. So you were slower?

Suspected something?

I didn't kill Sam.

The sabotage, yeah.

I admit.

But you don't understand the pressure I'm under.

Leah's planned our whole future around me playing in the top leagues and I

even get through again.

You were scared of losing.

I didn't want to let her down. Winning is everything to Leah.

If the team failed through bad luck, you were off the hook.

Leah wouldn't suspect you. But now she's been on some sort of failure.

But this thing inside me has taken everything. Come on.

The team needs you.

I can't play. But you can lead.

See this badge?

It stands for perseverance.

60 years of losing.

Sam believed you could change that.

Prove it right.

I thought we'd return these.

My trousers?

Yep. Found them on the roof.

People do some strange things when they've been drugged.

Drugged? It was in the water supply.

Effects are disorientation. Hot flushes. It's so hot, they make you, uh, spray

trousers away.

Yeah, and drowsiness.

Knocking you out till morning. Does that sound familiar?

Which proves you were here with Sam the night he was murdered.

You even told us you fell asleep here that night.

I told you I spoke with Sam. It doesn't mean I killed him. Oh, yes, his planned

meeting with the shareholders.

Probably wanted to warn them about your scheming with Hounds.

Who? Hound and Sons.

Property developer.

You wanted to sell the club, didn't you? It's ridiculous.

Shall I ring them and ask them? The club is my whole life.

Yeah, and you hate it.

I mean, you slap on a smile, but it's all an act, isn't it? Yeah, you were

overwhelmed. You wanted out.

Sam found out you were trying to sell the club.

Wanted to stop you, so you killed him. You're wrong. I wouldn't... You called

Sam a legend.

He would be furious if he knew you were looting your father's legacy. Legacy?

Get his boys running round a muddy field.

You think your dad loved this club more than he loved you?

I hope Sam's death was worth you sticking it to your old man. My dad

showed me one ounce of love that he gave this place.

I was a distant second.

I wish you could see me sell this precious club. No, Sam, please, put the

lighter down. Sam, Sam, didn't... Did it give me a choice? He... He

overheard me discussing the sale. He went ballistic. He threatened to tell.

No, no, no!

You are betraying everything that your father worked for. Please, Sam, I

we could be partners, share the money.

You will not get away with it. I trusted you. He trusted you.

Shut up.

Your old man would be spinning in his grave!

Spinning in his grave! Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

The only good I'll get out of this place is the insurance money, so... So here's

to you, Dad!

You're running away! I'm burning this place down! We'll change how you feel!

We'll see.

Fine. She cares more about him than her ambition, you know.

Oh, here we go.

There you are. Love conquers all.

As long as it's got a safe word.

We did it.

Congratulations.

National League.

Cheers, Frank.

Ah, er, before I forget... No, you fought the odds.

You showed up when it counted.

Some would want you to keep that.

I won't let them down.

We won't let them down.

I'm going to try and rally the fans behind the club.

OK,

don't look so shocked.

I'm going to do it right this time, and at least I know where to find a good

manager.

Come on.

Bye, guys.

See you next season.

You know, I think she meant me.

Manager? Very funny. No, I'm serious.

And there's some changes going to happen around here, starting with much larger

footballs. Yes, I think they should light up when you kick them. Ooh, maybe

music too.

Mm -hmm. Avon is crying out for a halftime dance -off.

If you're listening, Dad, we won.
