00:30Okay, you're the boss.
00:32Half an hour.
00:35You stupid.
00:36Stop.
00:37Stop.
00:37Stop.
00:38You just stopped.
00:39Look where you're going.
00:40What's this?
00:42You were talking while they're not here.
00:45You're so stupid.
00:48You stop.
00:49Stop.
00:50Stop.
00:51You just stopped.
00:52Look where you're going.
00:55What's this?
00:56You are talking about this!
00:57No wonder, please!
00:58Did you see it?
01:01Did you see what she did?
01:16No.
01:17I heard the bang, then she was driving off.
01:19You must have seen her.
01:20Did you get the number?
01:22I got P something 9 BFV.
01:26It was the best I could do.
01:28I'm sorry.
01:32It should be drivable.
01:34Are you all right to drive?
01:36I just can't believe you didn't see it.
01:38I'm sorry.
01:39I've got to keep going.
01:40What?
01:41Great Northern Marathon next week.
01:43I'm running for charity.
01:45Well, please don't let me keep you.
01:47You sure?
01:48Yes, leave me.
01:50Leave me alone.
01:51Oh, just a minute.
01:52What's your name?
01:53Ken.
01:54Oh, just a minute.
01:55What's your name?
01:56Ken.
02:09Oh, just a minute.
02:10Let's do it.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Oh, just a minute.
02:13You can leave me alone.
02:14Be careful.
02:15If you're not kidding.
02:16You know?
02:17There's so many things.
02:19You can get everything done.
02:20You can do it.
02:21You can do it.
02:22You can't do it.
02:23I know.
02:24If you're not that a single child,
02:25no, no, no.
02:26If you can take it away.
02:27If you know, you're not.
02:28There was no one of those things.
02:29I'm not that small.
02:33Plug.
02:34You can even make it.
02:36For me.
03:03What have I done to deserve this?
03:07Nothing.
03:08Flowers for a lady.
03:11Well, thank you, Geoffrey.
03:14When did somebody last buy me flowers?
03:18Are we starting this meeting or what?
03:21It's nearly ten past five.
03:23We get at 9.30.
03:32Nine o'clock.
03:33Is that possible?
03:34Look, I'll pick it up myself.
03:35Right.
03:37Thank you very much indeed.
03:39What's the verdict, Janet?
03:46New number plate and light.
03:48New rear bumper and panel.
03:50Exhausted to check.
03:51And a bit of paint touching.
03:53Otherwise no problem.
03:54Oh, it's a double, Mr Scully.
03:55She wants it by nine o'clock in morning.
03:58Where are you going?
04:00I was just off home, Mr Scully.
04:03You aren't.
04:04Janet wants you.
04:05Big job on tonight.
04:06Sort in this.
04:07Come on.
04:08It's Rovers and Leeds tonight.
04:09Going down with mates.
04:10Home win.
04:11Rotten game.
04:12Leeds home goal.
04:1385th minute.
04:14She's right.
04:15So get your glad rags back on and get started.
04:18Paint code 1.30.
04:19Great.
04:20Oh, what's the matter, Shaley baby?
04:22You'd rather get tanked up with your mates than spend the night here with us.
04:25Er, yeah.
04:26Well, it's on Five Live.
04:29And you know where the offy is.
04:32What about him?
04:33Oh, he won't mind as long as the job gets done.
04:36Brilliant.
04:37Now, item number six on the agenda.
04:42This concerns you, Geoffrey.
04:45After a long and careful deliberation, Mrs Wainthrop has decided...
04:50Well, both of us, Robert.
04:52Mrs Wainthrop and your chairman have decided that the time has come, lad, to make you a
04:57bona fide partner in the firm.
05:00Oh.
05:02You've more than earned it.
05:04Aye.
05:05Now, in practical terms, it means we share all the profits after expenses equally three
05:12ways.
05:13That's two-thirds to us and one-third to you.
05:16Have you got that clear?
05:17Oh, close your bell, Mr Wainthrop.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Thanks.
05:21Of course, now you'll have to learn how to handle your money.
05:23I'll buy us a car.
05:25I mean, I'll invest on some more lessons.
05:29Cars cost money.
05:31And it's not just the buying.
05:32It's tax, repairs, maintenance.
05:34And the insurance will have a problem there with your age and profession.
05:38High-speed car chases.
05:39High-speed what?
05:40I'm just kidding.
05:41And I know it'll cost, but the company will fork out, won't it?
05:45Business expenses.
05:47Shall I get it?
05:48We can't let him have a car just so we can go galling about impressing young girls and
05:59then charging the company.
06:00That way lies ruin.
06:01He's getting so like Derek at his edge.
06:04Well, no, Derek, it wasn't cars and girls at that edge.
06:07It was computers.
06:09Until Gloria snaffled him up with her fancy ideas.
06:12It's for you, Mrs Wainthrop.
06:13No.
06:14No.
06:15No.
06:16No.
06:17No.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:20No.
06:21No.
06:22No.
06:23No.
06:24No.
06:25No.
06:26No.
06:27No.
06:28No.
06:29No.
06:30No.
06:31No.
06:32No.
06:33No.
06:34No.
06:35No.
06:36No.
06:37No.
06:38No.
06:39No.
06:40No.
06:41No.
06:42No.
06:43No.
06:44No.
06:45No.
06:46No.
07:17Hard lock, Mum. Don't keep them there any more.
07:39What are you after? Up us or down us?
07:41Come through, Mrs. Winthrop. I'm Ken Kavanagh. She's in my office. She's still very upset.
07:51Just a minute, Mr. Kavanagh. I need to get one or two things straight. At what stage did you become involved?
07:58She caught me up on her mobile.
08:00After the woman drove off and the runner left her.
08:04Yes. I told her to get the car to her garage, picked her up there and took her straight to the police station.
08:09To report the accident or was it the assault more on my mind?
08:13The assault, of course. And they were absolutely hopeless, frankly.
08:16Magdalaf. It's Mrs. Winthrop.
08:28Thanks for coming.
08:30Oh.
08:31Believe it or not, tonight was a cause for celebration.
08:35An awkward sale completed thanks to Miss Devlin's charm and persistence.
08:40That looks very painful.
08:46Have you had it properly seen to?
08:49A police doctor examined her. An advisor to go to hospital for a check-up.
08:53Oh, they did something, then.
08:54Nothing's broken. I'm not concussed. I'm all right.
09:00It's that woman I want.
09:02I need to know who she is.
09:06We'll find her, Miss Devlin.
09:08This is my partner.
09:12Mr. Shawcross.
09:17Before we start, I do have to tell you our rates.
09:21It's all right. The company will take care of that.
09:23She'll have enough on her plate.
09:25With no details, they'll have her no claims bonus and she'll be off work for a while.
09:29You said off work.
09:30Don't get me wrong, lad.
09:32But obviously, the very nature of the job, I mean.
09:36We're talking appearances.
09:37This woman, you'd never seen her before.
09:46And nothing had happened on the road between you just prior to the accident.
09:51You mean, did Magda cut her up?
09:53Of course she did.
09:53I'll answer, Ken, thank you.
09:55She was in front of me.
10:04Then she pulled up dead.
10:10I hadn't a chance.
10:11This runny you spoke to, can you tell us what he looked like?
10:20He was thin.
10:24A wispy little beard.
10:25He had a red bandana.
10:31He said he was running some marathon.
10:36He got some of the car number, you said.
10:39Yes.
10:42It was a red outfit.
10:45But he hadn't seen the accident or the punches.
10:48No.
10:52But how could he have missed it?
10:55He came right up behind us.
10:59And he never left his name.
11:03What was the woman like?
11:05Can you remember what she was wearing?
11:07Was she young or old?
11:08And did you think there was something that caused those cuts?
11:14Foreign.
11:16Sunglasses.
11:18Well-dressed.
11:19A straw hat.
11:21I don't know.
11:23I don't know.
11:25We must get her home.
11:27Would you run for a taxi, Mr. Kavanagh?
11:30There have been rumours of your interest in much bigger clubs, Mr. Pickering.
11:33So the news today that you've purchased Blainthorpe Trinity,
11:36who finished next to bottom with only three wins out of the whole of last season,
11:41comes as quite a surprise.
11:42What's the appeal for a man like yourself?
11:44Well, you can only go up in this life, can't you?
11:47It's down to basics, Roger.
11:49I am a Blainthorpe lad, born and bred.
11:51In fact, I remember coming here with my mate Mike Mack...
11:56New dress.
11:58You like it?
11:59Very nice.
12:00Can you breathe in it?
12:01Would you care?
12:02What did you say?
12:03At the driving club in those days, weren't it?
12:05Mr. Wallace Pickering.
12:06Chairman of Pendle, Maine Construction and the new owner of Blainthorpe Trinity Football Club.
12:13Must be out of his mind.
12:22Well-dressed straw hat.
12:25Coming from a function, perhaps.
12:26But what got her so steamed up?
12:29And does she regret her behaviour now, I wonder?
12:31Hello?
12:32He's at it again.
12:42What have you got for us this time, Robert?
12:44All the flavours of the Orient.
12:47Tandoori chicken zaffirani.
12:50Marinated and grilled with tomato, capsicum and onion.
12:54Oh, my.
12:55Well, that's cool.
12:56The real thing, eh?
12:57Well, not exactly the real thing, Geoffrey.
13:00A good stab at it.
13:01So, I bought a football club today.
13:20What have you done?
13:21A pair of you.
13:22Sat all through dinner like monkeys with fleas.
13:24You especially.
13:25What's on your mind, Liam?
13:27Here's something you want to say to me.
13:29Man to man, is it?
13:32Liam.
13:33Leave us, Lily.
13:34No.
13:36You both have to wear it.
13:39Well, out with it, lad.
13:40Not good all night.
13:44I want to leave university.
13:48The reason?
13:50I'm wasting my time.
13:51I want to travel.
13:52Oh, where to?
13:57Australia.
13:58And I'm the last to know, am I?
14:00I haven't heard about this.
14:02You're going nowhere.
14:04Not till you've got your degree.
14:05I've not wasted good money for you to swan off and swig lager on Bondi Beach all day.
14:09Darling.
14:10Shut up.
14:11I've got to get out of here.
14:12What?
14:13You've the life of Riley here.
14:16You've been mollycoddled by her and had everything you want from me, young grateful little sod.
14:19What have I had from you?
14:20Tell me, Dad.
14:21What have I had?
14:22Well, there's a 750cc Ducati outside for a kick-off.
14:25Well, you can keep it.
14:26If that's the price, I don't want it.
14:28Liam.
14:30My angel.
14:31No.
14:32If he's asked for the truth, I'll tell him.
14:34Living at home because he wouldn't let me have an allowance.
14:36You're down the road, for God's sake.
14:38Are you complaining about free bed and board?
14:40I'm a joke, Dad.
14:41Dad.
14:42My mates.
14:43They come from all over and they've all got poxy little rooms and they're happy.
14:46And they look at me like I'm some freak.
14:49They do, you know.
14:50If you brought them back.
14:53Bring them back.
14:54Here.
14:55To this glorified sultan's palace.
14:58Where you, Mother, are crawling round like some...
15:00Trying to get him.
15:01No wonder you're...
15:05No wonder she what?
15:11Spit it out, son.
15:15No.
15:16Nothing.
15:17Sorry.
15:19Nothing.
15:20I just...
15:22I can't take it anymore.
15:24You're both of you squeezing the life out of me.
15:28Liam.
15:28Liam.
15:31That was great.
15:40Yes, you're a dab hand with those spices.
15:42Oh.
15:45Very nice.
15:48And now we've got some work to do.
15:50Yes.
15:50And I want to be part of it.
15:51I'm not just a pretty face, you know.
15:53Never.
15:55This Magda Deadling.
15:58Wasn't that the case of the photographer?
16:01Of her fellow and married a rich widow?
16:03Lester Rose and Gillian.
16:04Yeah, that's where she knew us from.
16:05Word of mouth.
16:06Now then.
16:07Coles Hill Drive.
16:08Find it.
16:09What I still don't understand is,
16:11why she thumped the woman instead of getting her details for insurance?
16:16Excuse me.
16:17She'll have to pay out of her own pocket now.
16:19From our first impression, I don't think that's her worry somehow.
16:23She has to pay herself if it serves her right.
16:25Road rage.
16:26You can't go around punching people.
16:28Yeah, and it's any class of person these days.
16:30Not just hard cases.
16:31I heard it on her phone.
16:32This man owned up and he was a judge.
16:35Mind on the job, Geoffrey.
16:36Coles Hill Drive.
16:37Coles Hill Drive.
16:38Yeah.
16:40Oh, Coles Hill Drive.
16:42Yeah.
16:43Been up there on my driving lesson.
16:44It's a nowhere sort of place.
16:45She could have been using it as a cut-through to the Blainthorpe Road.
16:50Right.
16:51So now we want that runner in the red bandana.
16:54And if he's getting himself up for a marathon,
16:56he'll be out before breakfast.
16:58Where are you?
17:20Magda Devlin, yes.
17:26WPC Hampton brought her a cup of tea and two digested biscuits.
17:29Then a doctor examined her and sent her for hospital check.
17:32She came here for justice and got digestive biscuits.
17:35Mrs. Wainthrop, with no car damage reported and no witnesses.
17:38May I see that statement?
17:39No, you may not.
17:42Adams?
17:44Yeah.
17:46Give me three minutes.
17:47I'm asking just one thing.
17:51That you trace the owner of that Alfa Romeo.
17:54I've given you most of the number.
17:56I could do it myself with your equipment.
17:58I'm sure.
17:59Do you know we don't hand the public that kind of information?
18:01I'm not public.
18:03I'm just saving me legs.
18:05And if you find the owner, what will you do with her?
18:07That's my client's business.
18:09What would you do with her?
18:11If your client wants my advice, you should think very carefully about going to court.
18:14Charges of assault have a nasty way of backfiring.
18:16Questions get raised.
18:18We should want them raised.
18:19Like who was to blame for the accident?
18:21Who struck the first blow?
18:24They're often acrimonious and very seldom get the desired result.
18:29Thank you for your three minutes, Inspector.
18:31Right, thanks.
18:43Cheers.
18:44Hello.
18:59I'm phoning for a friend of mine from London, inquiring if you've got an Alfa Romeo for sale.
19:04P-Reg, and it has to be red.
19:07I heard you got one in last night.
19:09Hello?
19:09Yes.
19:14Excuse me.
19:16I've just made some coffee.
19:18Help yourself.
19:19There's milk in the fridge.
19:22Hello?
19:24Yes, speaking.
19:28How much is the damage?
19:30What?
19:31Yes.
19:33Yes.
19:34Well, no.
19:38Yes.
19:39Better go ahead.
19:40I need it.
19:43When?
19:48Thanks.
19:49Bye.
19:50Bye.
19:50My garage.
19:59Three hundred pounds to fix my car.
20:02I have to pay for it myself.
20:03I don't risk the no-claims bonus.
20:05It's a nightmare.
20:07Well, somebody's thinking of you.
20:09Yes, from a friend.
20:11I must sort them.
20:15How are you feeling today?
20:18Rotten.
20:18Look, I'm sorry.
20:22I was a bit off last night.
20:24I should never have drunk that brandy.
20:25You've nothing to apologise about.
20:27Have you had any luck?
20:29We've made a start.
20:31All you want is her name, isn't it?
20:33Then I'm finished.
20:34No, actually.
20:36I want you to go and see her
20:37and advise me if I should bring a charge.
20:40The way I feel about her,
20:41I couldn't trust myself to make a judgement.
20:43But I must know why she did it.
20:45Would you do it?
20:48Then he will.
20:49Then he will.
20:49Okay, Riley?
20:52I think he's going to seem to be clear.
20:52I think he's going to know why she did it.
20:53But, I don't know why in the world.
20:54He's going to love it.
20:54I've said,
20:55You're going to miss her in a way...
20:59mark on my mind.
21:04I wanted to see them.
21:05Read it.
21:09Iặng it.
21:10I'll see you later.
21:11And remember please.
21:11First up Wasser.
21:12fuego is a surprise.
21:13What did I do?
21:14It's going to be easy for her.
21:14Every time I wish her to do that.
21:15Everybody Yang burns her soul?
21:16I'm going to try and focus on her assistant.
21:17Jack!
21:19Yeah!
21:21Jack!
21:23Yeah!
21:25Jack!
21:29Yeah!
21:31Jack!
21:33Yeah!
21:35All right!
21:37Jack!
21:39Jack!
21:41Jack!
21:43Jack!
21:45Yeah!
21:47All right, what are you doing here?
21:49I came by looking for you, didn't I?
21:51Got kicked by a mule.
21:52You didn't come to see him.
21:53You were looking for easy money.
21:54No, I wasn't.
21:55I saw you, fluffy boy.
21:56What do you mean?
21:57This is my mate.
21:58Geoff, an old schoolmate.
21:59Are you in a faith, are you?
22:00No, never.
22:01Turn out your pockets.
22:02What?
22:03Come on, Janet.
22:04He's me mate.
22:05What does that prove?
22:06Go on.
22:07Why?
22:08I just came by looking for a pen.
22:13Leave a message for Shane.
22:16When he woke up.
22:18Was it you who phoned earlier about the red alpha?
22:23No.
22:24What's wrong if it was just a customer inquiry, wasn't it?
22:27Would it either put the phone down?
22:30It were, weren't it?
22:31Have we got one?
22:32It's funny she said that because...
22:33Shut it!
22:34Hey, does she own this place?
22:35No, I own this place.
22:36What's going on here, Janet?
22:37Ask Shane, Mr Scully.
22:38One of his school friends dropped by to pay his compliments.
22:42Not in my working hours, you don't.
22:45Out.
22:46Hey, Jeff.
22:47Great seeing you, Mum.
22:48Hey, do you fancy club Friday?
22:49You can ring us at my Mum's.
22:50See you later.
22:51Mm-hm.
22:52Hey.
22:53Hey, Jeff.
22:54Great seeing you, Mum.
22:55Hey, do you fancy club Friday?
22:56You can ring us at my Mum's.
22:57See you later.
22:59I couldn't catch him!
23:13What do you mean you couldn't catch him?
23:18Well...
23:19I couldn't catch him!
23:25What do you mean you couldn't catch him?
23:27Well, he were a marathon runner.
23:29And he kicked you in passing?
23:31Oh, no, that were a girl.
23:34You're having a bad day, Geoffrey.
23:36Well, not all bad. I found the garage.
23:41Dumped in my wheelbarrow.
23:51The card is registered in a company name.
23:55Pendle Main Construction.
23:59That's all I'm telling you.
24:02A well-wisher.
24:03Who would that be, Mrs. Winthrop?
24:05Use your loaf, Geoffrey.
24:07DC items.
24:08Well, he's done his duty at last.
24:10Pendle Main.
24:12The chairman was on TV last night.
24:15His name's Pickering.
24:17He's just bought Blainthorpe Football Club.
24:19Oh, yeah.
24:20And I've seen him recently.
24:21Where's this week's local paper, Robert?
24:23Hang on a minute.
24:24Pendle Main Construction.
24:26You can see that on a bus on a big hoarding just past Gindle Street by the brewery.
24:30Never mind the brewery.
24:32A company car.
24:34That could mean anyone who works for them.
24:38Or family, perhaps.
24:40I know I've seen something.
24:44Try page three.
24:46Oh, hell.
24:48You're right, Robert.
24:50It is page three.
24:52Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Pickering.
24:54Pictured at a charity function organized by the Blainthorpe Round Table and the Ladies' Circle.
25:02And that might just be the hat.
25:04Oh.
25:05Finish up, Geoffrey.
25:06We're off to Blainthorpe.
25:07But how do you know where he lives if he's a big cheesy?
25:10He won't have his name in the phone book.
25:12We are a detective agency, Robert.
25:14I'll get my togs.
25:16Good afternoon.
25:36Mrs. Mabel Winstanley from the Blainthorpe Ladies' Circle Appeal Committee.
25:42I've come to see Mrs. Pickering.
25:44Well, I think she's busy at the moment.
25:47Is she expecting you?
25:48Well, if she isn't, someone in my office will have to answer for it.
25:53Well, you'd better come in.
25:57But why?
25:59Why?
26:00Is it because of what I did?
26:03Look, I'm sorry.
26:05I'm sorry.
26:06It will never happen again.
26:07Never.
26:08I think we'd better wait a moment.
26:09I have to.
26:10It's not what you did, Mother.
26:13Though you could have asked instead of trawling around on your hands and knees.
26:16How could I ask?
26:17Now you're being ridiculous.
26:19It's this whole house.
26:20The way you play his game, let him trample all over you.
26:23I can't take it anymore.
26:25So you're blaming me?
26:26No.
26:27Yes.
26:28You should have left years ago.
26:31Where should I go?
26:32Anywhere.
26:33You're still beautiful.
26:34You've still got a life.
26:35But I stayed for you, my angel.
26:38Oh, no.
26:39Don't give me that, please.
26:41Of course I did.
26:42To see you through university.
26:44And if you leave now, you'll ruin your own life, everything.
26:48I won't.
26:49I'll make something.
26:50Look, I'm decided.
26:51I just wanted your backing right.
26:53Just for once in your life, stand up and be counted.
26:56What does that mean?
26:58That's so hurtful.
27:01Liam, don't go.
27:03What shall I do alone here?
27:06Just keep taking the tablets, Mother.
27:09Liam?
27:10Liam?
27:11Liam?
27:12Yes, Judith?
27:13Mrs. Winstanley, madam.
27:14From the Blainthorpe Ladies' Appeal Committee.
27:15I'm the new coordinator.
27:16But if I've chosen an awkward time...
27:18Mrs. Winstanley?
27:19Mm-hmm.
27:20No, please.
27:21Come in.
28:09You okay?
28:10Yeah.
28:11I'm waiting for someone.
28:12That's a great machine.
28:13$7.50, isn't it?
28:14I always fancied running, then.
28:15Yeah?
28:16You wanna buy it?
28:17Yeah.
28:18Er...
28:19No.
28:20I can't afford it.
28:21I can't afford it.
28:22See ya.
28:23See ya.
28:24See ya.
28:25See ya.
28:26See ya.
28:27See ya.
28:28See ya.
28:29See ya.
28:34Itty Winthrop.
28:35Private investigator.
28:36Itty Winthrop.
28:37Itty Winthrop.
28:38Private investigator.
28:39Itty Winthrop.
28:40Private investigator.
28:41I'm Wallace Pickering.
28:42May I hear about this?
28:43Itty Winthrop.
28:44Itty Winthrop.
28:45Itty Winthrop.
28:46Itty Winthrop.
28:47Itty Winthrop.
28:48Itty Winthrop.
28:49Itty Winthrop.
28:50I'm Wallace Pickering.
28:51May I hear about this?
28:54Oh, itty-not.
28:55Itty Winthrop.
29:08My wife and I have no secrets.
29:12Mrs. Winthrop.
29:15I'm here on behalf of a client Mr Pickering.
29:18What client?
29:20half of a client, Mr Pickering. What client? At half-past four yesterday afternoon, your
29:29wife was involved in an accident in Coleshill Drive, Blackburn. I don't know what you mean.
29:36Please, darling, make her leave the house at once. She got out of her car, a red Alfa
29:41Romeo, and struck my client twice in the face, causing severe pain and distress. No!
29:49This is nonsense. It's all right, Lily. The police have been informed, I take it? Yes, they
29:56were informed. Then what are you doing here, Mrs Winthrop? Shouldn't I be facing a detective
30:02sergeant? The car has been identified by the number plate. Your wife has been identified
30:09by my client's description. I repeat my question. With this wealth of circumstantial evidence,
30:18what are you doing here? Because the police can't make a case. Of course they can't. It's
30:26mistaken identity. I was at a hospital state all afternoon. Hush now, Lily. I think we can
30:33clear this up very simply.
30:40You see? Not a mark on it. I told you. And that's for my wife being involved in fisticuffs.
30:48Well, Mrs Winthrop, does she look the type? Your investigation is concluded, I think.
30:56Cars can be fixed. My client's face may take longer to heal. I'm sorry? You'll be hearing
31:03from me again. If you're planning to take this further, you'll need a very good witness and
31:08the best lawyer in the county. We would. But if it comes to that, Mr Peckering, you might
31:13tell your lawyer that my client has suffered physical and psychological damage and loss
31:18of earnings. And she has a very high profile job where appearances count. Oh, so it's money
31:24she's after. Well, that won't concern you, will it? If you've no reason to doubt your wife.
31:31I don't know what I've set in motion. A settlement out of court, perhaps, which would please DCI
31:47Adams. You've got to be sure the woman's guilty first. Well, of course she's guilty. It's coming
31:52out of every pore, and her husband knows it as well. You've still got to prove it. Well, I know that.
31:58And they're close ranks, from what I've seen of them. There's something going on with her and her son
32:07I can't get hold of. Oh, I'm tired. Come on, love. Home now. We must catch that runner.
32:28Wayne Thropp Detective Agency. We'd like a few words if you've got the breath. No! Further
32:39back, Geoffrey! Back! Stop there! Was that it, Mr Peckering? Where you heard the bang, but
32:49saw nothing? Come on, Geoffrey! Come running now, towards us! Faster! You must have had a
33:00clear view now of what followed, getting clearer with every stride. Oh, absolutely. Then why
33:08did you say you didn't? Did you say you were a schoolmaster, Mr Pejig? That's correct. Then
33:17don't you think that, as a schoolmaster, you had a moral duty? What does she want? To bring
33:23charges against this woman? Won't do her any favours. How do you mean? I mean, young man,
33:29my moral duty would be to say, under oath, that she was talking on a mobile telephone,
33:37not looking where she was going, and was almost certainly to blame for the crash. Didn't
33:42she have enough on her plate without being up on a driving charge? Now, if you'll excuse
33:46me, I have 3C in an hour. I'll have 3C, Captain, before I can run the frigging marathon.
33:53Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs Wainthrope.
33:56Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs Wainthrope.
34:01Nothing? No, thank you, Judith.
34:18All right, so I was on the mobile, yes. Your only witness may be hostile. Why? He didn't
34:30see anything. He ran off. He was trying to spare you. He'll change his tune under oath.
34:35But why should she get away with it? I mean, look at me, Mrs Wainthrope. She's a spoiled rich
34:42cow and she messed me up. She's unhappy. And we should be sorry. What?
34:47Well, no. I don't think so. If you don't mind, I want that woman punished.
34:56It comes down to this. If you bring an assault charge, they'll counter with dangerous driving.
35:03There could be something else on offer. Her husband's a wealthy, influential man who
35:12might pay you to drop it. And would I also get an apology?
35:18I think that's the least we should aim for.
35:21And to open our show today, will you please give a warm welcome to our special guest,
35:27Mrs Lillimore Pickering.
35:29Ladies and gentlemen. I'll come straight to the point. It's been brought to my attention
35:45that some interfering busybody calling herself a private detective has been harassing the wife
35:50of a prominent local citizen, causing her considerable emotional distress.
35:55Who told you that? Well, I know, don't I? It's your friend and mine, Mr Wallis Pickering,
36:02the well-known local benefactor. Don't stop, Mrs Wainthrope. This is more serious than you think.
36:08I've met Mrs Pickering once in the course of an investigation.
36:12That's not what I've heard. And I saw her once at a flower show.
36:16And threatened her. I did nothing of the sort.
36:19If your client has a grievance, she can go through the official channels.
36:22What will not be tolerated in our free society is your behaviour in this case.
36:27So we just forget it, do we? Because the alleged assailant is the wife of a wealthy businessman.
36:32Is that your free society? Where the world's run from the golf club or the rotary club,
36:37or whatever such people meet.
36:39Now, don't get on your soapbox.
36:41I'm surprised at you, Detective Chief Inspector Adams,
36:44that you allow yourself to be influenced by directives.
36:47Oh? I should have ignored this, should I?
36:50Because the complainant has influence, they have no rights.
36:54You don't even follow your own logic.
36:57No, you are obliged to inform me, but not chastise me for it.
37:02Look. You and I know each other well enough by now.
37:09Of course this came from upstairs, and you've been out of order and I won't have it.
37:14Also, you can't win this one.
37:18That's not chastisement. That's good old-fashioned advice.
37:24What, Janet? At a disco?
37:35How's it? Kickboxing class is where you find our Janet.
37:38Why are you asking anyway? Do you fancy her?
37:40Oh, she wishes.
37:42See her in a skirt, though. Great legs.
37:44Yeah, for kicking people.
37:46She'll take her down Rovers one night with lads, yeah?
37:48Yeah.
37:49Why don't we try those two?
37:57Hi, I'm Geoff. I'm Cindy. You're new here, aren't you?
38:17Yeah.
38:18Yeah. He's in May. He wants to buy an Alfa.
38:21Yeah.
38:22Yeah.
38:22Yeah.
38:23Yeah.
38:24Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:26I'm sorry.
38:29I'm sorry, aren't you?
38:30Yeah.
38:31Yeah.
38:32Yeah.
38:33Oh?
38:34Yeah?
38:35Oh, people.
38:36No, people.
38:37That's Liam Pickering, isn't it?
38:39Yeah?
38:40Yeah.
38:41Yeah.
38:42But Liam Pickering, isn't it? Do you know him?
38:45Yeah. Out of his head, and out of your class.
38:50Yeah, well, I've got a word with him. Come on.
38:55Hiya, Liam.
38:56Hi, Cindy. Hello, Liam.
38:58This is Jeff.
38:59Yeah, with Matt.
39:01Still, I saw that motorbike of yours. What are you offering?
39:03Well, it's not me. It's me mate Shane over there. He can shift it for you.
39:06You're still going to Aussie land?
39:08You bet.
39:08He's bunking off university to get away from his nasty rich family.
39:13Aren't you, Liam?
39:14Yeah.
39:15All right, leave the family heirlooms. Why's that?
39:17Tell him, kiddo.
39:18You tell him.
39:20Only if he buys me a drambuishandy.
39:22OK.
39:23I'm not serious.
39:24It's a Shanghai Madonna.
39:26Shanghai Madonna.
39:28He's a nutcase.
39:30Cherishing, baby.
39:33Oh!
39:33It's a raindropper.
39:39What is it?
39:40Jeffrey?
39:42It's drunk.
39:44No, I'm not.
39:45I found it.
39:48The missing bit we've been missing.
39:50It's Liam's mother.
39:51What?
39:51What, Jeffrey?
39:52What?
39:54She's a druggie.
39:56She nicked gear from his room.
39:57You don't know what it is like, this house.
40:11What I do is not enough.
40:16Beautiful clothes.
40:19I smile and smile.
40:21What more does he want?
40:22And now, my son, my one treasure, is leaving me.
40:32Because you took something from him to help you cope.
40:36How do you know this?
40:37And something snapped that afternoon.
40:39No!
40:40No!
40:42I don't remember what happened.
40:46This woman, what does she want?
40:51To take me to court and humiliate me?
40:55She might just settle for an apology.
40:59What?
41:00A brief note.
41:02And a donation to a charity, perhaps.
41:07You're asking me to put something in writing.
41:11So she can go straight to my husband and demand money?
41:14There's no reason why such a letter should ever reach your husband.
41:18Why should I trust you?
41:19You've no sympathy with me.
41:22You're working for this injured party.
41:27If it's money you want, tell me how much.
41:31No letter.
41:32No apology.
41:33Just name your price.
41:35No, no, no, Mrs Pickering.
41:37Put that away, please.
41:39You're right.
41:48I'm sorry for my behaviour, Mrs Wainthrop.
41:54It's quite out of character.
41:55I think I need to get away for a few days and clear my head.
42:04Have you somewhere you can go?
42:06Yes.
42:08Yes.
42:11Some dear friends of mine who live in the Lake District.
42:14The wife is Swedish.
42:17She's often asked me to visit.
42:18It sounds perfect.
42:19And, of course, I shall do as you say.
42:24I shall apologise to your client and make a donation.
42:28I shall put it in a letter.
42:30And if you give me her address, she shall have it on Monday.
42:34Oh, no, I may miss the post.
42:37Uh, Tuesday.
42:38I think it'll see an end of the matter.
42:41And if I may say so, Mrs Pickering,
42:44I think what you're doing is admirable.
42:48Well, I hope it's civilised, at least.
42:54Well done.
42:55Brilliantly handled.
42:56Well done.
42:57Don't go overboard, Robert.
42:59That house still reeks of misery.
43:02But the lady has guts.
43:04That I'll vouch for.
43:06Geoffrey, what are you doing?
43:08Don't dig up my broad beans.
43:10Mrs Pickering, will you say something, please?
43:15What is this?
43:16She's been in there nearly two hours, sir.
43:18I'm so worried.
43:22Mother?
43:27They found her at seven o'clock last night.
43:30She'd cut her wrists in the bath.
43:31What is it?
43:33No letter.
43:36Nothing.
43:38Not so far.
43:43These drugs you said she took from her son's bedroom.
43:48You've no idea who supplied them, I don't suppose.
43:51Tell him the name of the disco, Geoffrey.
43:56Mrs Wainthrob.
43:57Tell him.
44:01Let's try and get something out of this mess.
44:06Good morning, sir.
44:07Oh, morning.
44:09How do you love?
44:10Now, don't fret, Robert.
44:12I know what I'm doing.
44:13Lily Moore.
44:38It means little mother in Swedish.
44:41Did you know that?
44:43I didn't.
44:45It was our boy, Liam,
44:47deciding to go to Australia that tipped her, of course.
44:53I have a son, went to Australia.
44:54He's coming back on a visit soon.
45:00Oh, they come back, do they?
45:03When they're ready, I believe.
45:07It's their lives.
45:09We can only set them going.
45:12Yes.
45:14Well, I set him going, obviously, but he's decided to stay.
45:17After this, wants his degree.
45:22Very wise of him.
45:25Mrs Wainthrob.
45:28I don't know what Lily confided in you.
45:31That was woman to woman.
45:32What took place between us, Lily and me, is also private.
45:38And the outcome is a matter for the family, alone.
45:40I trust you'll respect that.
45:44Of course I shall, Mr Pickering.
45:47I have a lot of influence in this county.
45:49I can do much for the general good, if I'm allowed.
45:52What I don't need is idle tongues.
45:54You understand me?
45:57These are for you and for your client.
45:59And I hope they'll take care of that side of things.
46:29Was I to blame?
46:31I've been through this before with my mother.
46:33She took her life.
46:34No blame, love.
46:36No blame for any one person.
46:38How can there be?
46:49I didn't want this much.
46:52Did you receive another letter?
46:54Through the post?
46:55Who from?
46:56No, it doesn't matter.
47:02Well, I'm finished now.
47:07Goodbye, Magda.
47:11Ah, Mrs Whitethrow.
47:12What do we owe you?
47:15It's all settled, Mr Kavanagh.
47:24Too great!
47:25I don't believe it.
47:26We could buy a car, a mobile phone, a computer.
47:30It sets up great...
47:31It's not for us, Geoffrey.
47:33Some people would call it hush money to keep a wealthy man high in the public esteem.
47:38And what would you call it, eh, love?
47:40Well, there's no tagging it with a name.
47:43We'll deduct our usual expenses
47:45and make a donation to the Blainthorpe Ladies' Circle,
47:49which may do some good.
47:51We'd have to vote on that, wouldn't we?
47:53Did you say something, Geoffrey?
47:56Erm, he said carried unanimously.
47:59Didn't you, lad?
48:00Yes, Mr Whitethrow.
48:01All right, thanks.
48:04All right, all right.
48:05All right, let's look.
