00:00You
00:30I don't know.
01:00He's down the runner.
01:04That's what he's done.
01:05He probably got far.
01:07Back in the car.
01:08Come on.
01:09Hey, Sean.
01:10What?
01:11Look at this.
01:12Now my mum would have been mad for it, wouldn't she?
01:20Barry!
01:22What's I'm looking about you, Big Jesse?
01:23We're going to lose him.
01:24Come on.
01:25Come on!
01:30And we don't know who I am.
01:32It's been a while in a while.
01:33We're going to lose him.
01:35He's going to lose him.
02:37After the weekend.
02:43You going home, Mr. Wainpropp?
02:46Ah, well, if you're sure that you can do without me.
02:51Of course we can, but we shall miss you.
02:54Ah, well, the time has come and there's things as need doing.
03:01My back guttering, for instance.
03:03Yes, now you must see to that before winter sets in.
03:06But first, I've got a little surprise lined up.
03:10Oh?
03:11What are you doing this afternoon?
03:14Nothing.
03:15Good.
03:16You're coming on a little outing with me.
03:18Oh?
03:19No, as a thank you for having me.
03:21Oh, Frank.
03:22I'm not going to say where or how beyond saying, it's a trip down memory lane.
03:28Oh, memory lane.
03:30Is Geoffrey included?
03:33Well, it can be if he pays his way.
03:35Oh, yes, thanks.
03:36But I think that I'll probably be...
03:39Memory lane.
03:41Right.
03:42Well, thank you, Frank.
03:44And we shall look forward to that, won't we, Geoffrey?
03:46Yes.
03:47Yes.
03:51Wainthrope Detective Agency.
03:54Robert!
03:56What is it?
03:58Would you mind if Janet comes along, Mr Wainthrope?
04:00Only I promised her an outing this afternoon as well.
04:03We'll pay our own way.
04:05Oh, good.
04:05We'll use your car, save us bus fares.
04:09What do you mean, not coming?
04:12Well, who decided that?
04:16Oh, well, I might have guessed.
04:20No, I'm all right.
04:21Just give me a minute, will you?
04:25Phone me back.
04:28No, I'll phone you back later.
04:32Yes, I know about the time difference.
04:36Yes.
04:39Goodbye, love.
04:41Goodbye.
04:55Anything the matter?
04:59Derek's not coming back to England.
05:02He's decided to do his course in New Zealand.
05:04Gloria thinks the climate will be healthier for the children.
05:11Do you want to sit down?
05:14No, thank you.
05:18I'll just go and tidy myself up.
05:20There he is.
05:34That's right.
05:38Yes.
05:39And he's going to be healthier for the children.
05:41And he's going to be healthy for the kids.
05:43gdy'siani young, what a while is going to be he piel on.
05:47Wainthrop Detective A, do you see?
05:58Is that Mrs. Wainthrop, Mrs. Hetty Wainthrop?
06:03Now do I sound like Hetty Wainthrop?
06:06I'm sorry?
06:08This is Hetty Wainthrop.
06:10Can I help you?
06:11Ah, Mrs. Wainthrop, I'm deeply in trouble and in the most urgent need of your services.
06:16Now.
06:17If you can manage it.
06:18Now.
06:19Well, now isn't really the best time, Mr...
06:22Have you tried the police?
06:23Oh, no.
06:24It's far too subtle and complex for the police.
06:25It requires a fine judgement and I could only think of you, Mrs. Wainthrop.
06:30Are you still there?
06:33Yes, I'm still here.
06:35Where might I find you in the next hour or so?
06:38I'll come to you.
06:39Oh, I should have to know a little more about your trouble before I could agree to break
06:44my arrangements.
06:45Mrs. Wainthrop, I'm being hounded.
06:49Hounded?
06:52Just a minute.
06:59Frank, I wouldn't dream of spoiling your treat, but this might be urgent.
07:06I'm afraid I'll have to know where I'm going to be.
07:09Oh.
07:10Tell us, Mr. Wainthrop.
07:13Oh.
07:14Oh.
07:15Oh.
07:16Oh.
07:17Oh.
07:18Oh.
07:19Oh.
07:20Twenty to three on the platform of Rawtonstall Steam Railway.
07:27I'm wearing a woolly hat.
07:29It's a faded green.
07:30No.
07:31No, no, no.
07:32Blue, blue.
07:33And a sort of mustard jacket.
07:34French or English.
07:35Please take me seriously, Mrs. Wainthrop.
07:36I'm in fear of my life.
07:37Please take me seriously, Mrs. Wainthrop.
07:38I'm in fear of my life.
07:40You're so awkward.
07:41Everyone can say, Mrs. Wainthrop.
07:42I'm in fear of my life.
07:43No, no, no, no.
07:44We're probably not aware of anything.
07:46There, you go.
07:48People say, Mrs. Wainthrop.
07:49No, no.
07:50No, no, no, no.
07:51No.
07:53No, no, no.
07:54No.
07:55It's just a joke, Mrs. Wainthrop.
07:56Yes, I know what it may be, Mrs. Wainthrop.
07:58No, no.
07:59No, no, no.
08:00No, no.
08:01No, no, no.
08:02No, no.

12:25Yes, I am.
12:35Thank goodness.
12:37I'm so sorry to have missed our appointment.
12:39I've had the most difficult morning.
12:40My name is Francis.
12:42Montague Francis, but please, call me Monte.
12:44Hey, Bri.
12:56Jan.
12:57What are you doing here?
12:59I'm with me Uncle Frank.
13:00He's not really me uncle.
13:01He's me sugar daddy.
13:03Just kidding.
13:05This is me mate, Bryony.
13:06We used to doze off together at the back of the class.
13:09Eh?
13:10What's the matter?
13:10Have you been crying?
13:11No, er, no, it's nothing.
13:13Erm, what can I get you?
13:15I took early retirement from the bank to follow my lifelong passion, which I converted into a business.
13:42Rather successful.
13:45Though sometimes one falls foul of people.
13:50Oh, why are we stopping?
13:53Are we taking on passengers?
13:56I thought this train just went backwards and forwards.
13:58Excuse me.
13:59Monte!
13:59Monte!
14:02The battery is like me.
14:16Okay.
14:17Hello, operator.
14:17I'm walking.
14:18Tell me.
14:18I'm not very sorry.
14:18There's something out there.
14:19Beep.
14:20Come here.
14:20Let me run.
14:21Let me run.
14:22Let me run.
14:24Let me run.
14:25Let me run.
14:26Let me run.
14:26I'm rushing.
14:27Let me run.
15:31No, please don't go.
15:37It's ticking, Monty.
15:39I hope so.
15:41Open it.
15:43You open it.
15:45It will be my pleasure to reveal something which pleads my case for me better than recourse to my fumbling words.
16:03Hey, Bri, what is this? Come on, you can tell us.
16:11Last night, me mum broke the news. It's all over between her and me daddy. He's got someone else.
16:19Your dad. He can't have. He might have a wandering eye, but it didn't mean anything.
16:35Are you addressing me, young man?
16:39I am, yes. That lady that was sitting here. Have you seen her?
16:43The lady vanishes.
16:47Margaret Lockwood?
16:49Yeah, Hetty Wainthrop.
16:51Was she?
16:53Oh, well, maybe she's availing herself of our buffet service.
16:57Or the toilet facilities.
16:59No, that's where I was.
17:01When the train stopped, I couldn't flush.
17:03Look, did she get off? She may have been with someone. A man. In a hurry? Oh, forget it. Excuse me.
17:13Hey, just a minute, just a minute. That elephant, is it yours? Please don't leave it unattended.
17:24He loves my mum. And now that stupid tart's got her claws into him, silly sod that he is.
17:30He's suddenly got all these hobbies, fretwork, classes, Spanish cookery.
17:34Wednesdays, he's learning the saxophone.
17:36He's out till all hours and him a greengrocer with all those early starts.
17:41I'm going to have a word with this.
17:44I don't know who she is.
17:46The woman just says he comes back knackered and smelling of gardenias.
17:50Oh, dear, oh, dear.
17:53Right.
17:54Well, I think we can help you with this.
17:57Frank.
17:58We are with the detective agency.
18:00Frank.
18:01Now, I'll just take down one or two details.
18:04Your doctor.
18:06Greengrocer, you see?
18:08Good night, my sister.
18:09What's his name?
18:10Donald Matthews.
18:12Well, you just leave everything to us.
18:15Frank.
18:17Clock.
18:18Clocks are my life, you see.
18:22All through my long years at the bank, I made a study of them, how they worked, their history.
18:29And then, after my dear wife Melissa passed away, to fill in the time, so to speak.
18:38But this clock, Monty.
18:39Tell me about this clock.
18:41This one.
18:42Hmm.
18:43We're vulnerable here.
18:44They could spot us any minute.
18:45We really must get back and lose ourselves in a crowd.
18:48Oh, what time does this train start back?
18:49Two minutes.
18:50Look, lad.
18:51She probably had something on her mind and just stepped off back there to be on her own
18:55for a while.
18:56Derek.
18:57Derek.
18:58Derek.
18:59Derek.
19:00Derek.
19:01No, she wouldn't do that.
19:03Were detectives working on a case?
19:04Well, now that's funny.
19:05I was a detective last week.
19:06I was a detective last week.
19:07I was a detective.
19:08I was a detective last week.
19:09Oh, what time does this train start back?
19:10Two minutes.
19:11Look, lad.
19:12She probably had something on her mind and just stepped off back there to be on her own
19:13for a while.
19:14Derek.
19:15Derek.
19:16Derek.
19:17Oh, no, she wouldn't do that.
19:20Were detectives working on a case?
19:23Well, now that's funny.
19:24I was a detective last week.
19:26An inspector calls for the bake-up thespians.
19:29Oh, it's a clever play.
19:31Because, you see, he never existed.
19:35He was just a product of guilty minds.
19:49So, Monty, two men brought you a clock to mend and value.
19:53Six weeks ago, you say?
19:58Which you thought was stolen?
20:00Yes, that story about their mother dying and leaving it to them.
20:04It was nonsense.
20:08So, why didn't you take it to the police?
20:10Oh, how could I prove?
20:12I had to check its provenance.
20:14I'm almost certain it's a Johnson.
20:17Harris Johnson.
20:18Eighteenth century.
20:19Famous for navigational clocks.
20:20But just once in a while, he turned out one of these.
20:25I'm only agreeing to this if you let me take charge of it.
20:28You in charge?
20:29She's my friend and I don't want to mess about.
20:31Messed about?
20:32You in charge of the smoke.
20:33Max, please.
20:34Yes, sir.
20:35Oh, you are such aay.
20:36They're like a disaster, Mr. Pauwtje.
20:37What are you doing?
20:38Oh, my God.
21:08So, who are you looking for?
21:14You've searched up and down. I might help you.
21:16Who the frig are you?
21:19The train detective.
21:25Amazing what people leave lying around these days.
21:34My sister and I were out on a ramble.
21:37Didn't like the look of the weather.
21:39I'll book it down tonight, right, you know.
21:42I can tell by them fellas behind me.
21:45The geese? Telling the weather how?
21:49Well, it's the beak movement, you see.
21:51And the throats get tight.
21:54Strawberry.
21:55Yes.
21:56That is the one.
22:06Now, what is her name?
22:08You can't just jump to conclusions.
22:10Oh, yes, I can.
22:11Well, I know women like that.
22:13I mean, I've heard what women like that do to married men.
22:16Just take my word for it.
22:19Excuse me.
22:20The lady behind the bar, what's her name?
22:23Kirsty Withers.
22:24Why?
22:25Oh, nothing.
22:26Nothing.
22:26I think she's a friend of my late wife's cousin, that's all.
22:29Nice meeting you.
22:48Fantastic.
22:49Hang on a minute.
23:07I hope you didn't mind, sister, but I felt we needed some plausibility.
23:12Yes, we do, Monty.
23:15And while we've stopped, what are the names of your pursuers?
23:19Names?
23:20They're names.
23:22And a contact number for you to tell them when the clock's ready.
23:25Oh, yes.
23:27They left a card, but that would be somewhere at home.
23:42She probably had something on her mind, and just stepped off back there to be on her own
23:52for a while.
23:55Thank you very much, Mr. Cranham, and I hope you please get home safe and dry.
24:00You're welcome, Monty.
24:09Which one?
24:11That's her.
24:12Behind the bar.
24:13Frank.
24:14She's the one.
24:15Don't do anything hasty.
24:17Wouldn't dream of it.
24:26Riley?
24:28Mrs. Kirsty Withers.
24:29That's me, love.
24:30You leave my dad alone, you scheming cow.
24:33He's a married man, and my mum's worth ten of you.
24:35I beg your pardon?
24:36Riley, for God's sake!
24:37Keep all of this out between me and her, rotten little tart.
24:41What did you call me?
24:42Oh, run, little tart, that's what you are!
24:44Bring her out the bathroom.
24:45Come on, come on, Mum.
24:46You've done it now, Frank.
24:48I have.
24:50What have I done?
24:50Where have you been, Mrs. Waintrup?
25:02I've been worried to death.
25:03All explanations can save, Geoffrey.
25:05This is Mr. Francis, our client.
25:07This is Mr. Francis, our client.
25:08Monty here.
25:09How do you do?
25:10Hello.
25:11Have you seen the red car on your travels?
25:14No, but I spoke to one of them.
25:16He got on the train back from Bury.
25:18And?
25:18Well, he said he was looking for a thief.
25:21The description fits our client.
25:24I told him I was the train detective and I'd help him.
25:26Train detective on this little chuffer?
25:29And he believed you?
25:30Yeah.
25:31And he gave me his business card.
25:34Flintoff's videos in Ramsbottom.
25:36Well done, Geoffrey.
25:41This will save us a trip to your house.
25:43You'd better come and stay with us until we're sure you're out of harm's way.
25:47What about Janet and Frank?
25:48Oh, they'll be able to fend for themselves and we've got work to do.
25:51Now then, you cheeky little madam.
25:53You're wrecking our lives.
25:54Wrecking lives?
25:54The only thing being wrecked is my reputation.
25:57Oh, don't try and deny it.
25:58You've been seen together.
26:00Seen?
26:01Doing what?
26:02Are you out of your mind?
26:03Who's been spreading this muck?
26:06Yes, come on.
26:07I want an answer to that fast.
26:09Speak up, girl.
26:10I can't divulge the source.
26:13You've had us followed.
26:14I don't believe it.
26:17You vicious little step.
26:18Ow!
26:22Ow!
26:24Ow!
26:29What's your interest?
26:31Hey.
26:31Yeah.
26:32Nothing.
26:33I was just passing.
26:34All quiet on the western front then, is it?
26:37Right.
26:38Good.
26:39Cheerio.
26:40Are you all right?
26:42Yeah.
26:43You were worth it.
26:45See you, Dad.
26:46What?
26:47You're going nowhere until you apologised right here and now and explained yourself.
26:52Who put you up to this?
26:54Eh?
26:54Was it you?
26:57Was it?
26:58She's a professional.
27:00A professional?
27:01Who do you work for?
27:03I want the name of your firm.
27:06Now.
27:10Wayne's Rock Lieutenant.
27:11Janet.
27:11Stay in the night, Monty.
27:13Eh?
27:13You can have Geoffrey's bed in the front room.
27:16Oh.
27:16What?
27:16Possibly.
27:17We'll find you a pair of my husband's pyjamas.
27:20What a service you'll provide, Mrs. Wealthrop.
27:22I'm most grateful.
27:23And a pair of matching socks for the morning.
27:25Oh, yes.
27:26In my haste.
27:27Frank, show Monty where the bathroom is, if you're faced with it.
27:31Right.
27:32Oh, it's up here.
27:34And first thing Monday morning, I'll pay a visit to that video shop.
27:38No, Janet, I'm coming over.
27:41Janet, all right?
27:44Oh, a bit of a problem with her uncle Donald, Mrs. Wealthrop.
27:47It was nothing serious, but I said I'd pop over.
27:51Geoffrey.
27:54I'm sorry I gave you a fright.
27:58I didn't think you'd been kidnapped.
28:00I was just worried.
28:02I know.
28:06You've done some good work today.
28:08I'm proud of you.
28:11And I'm all right about Derek.
28:15Great.
28:16I'll see you in the morning, then.
28:20Good night, Geoffrey.
28:24How could you give him our name?
28:26He was going to have me arrested.
28:29I didn't have to tell you any of this.
28:31Well, what were you doing in that pub, anyway?
28:33Ask Frank.
28:35Oh, I might have known Frank.
28:37It wasn't all his fault.
28:40I could have stopped him.
28:42But I was thinking of my future.
28:46The garage has accepted the offer from the garden centre.
28:49You're joking?
28:49There's enough bits of engines under that scragge-a-land to stop a cactus growing.
28:54Not Scully's problem.
28:56He's selling up, and I'll negotiate my pay off.
28:59It'll take us on holiday.
29:00Fancy Peru.
29:01What?
29:01You can't jack in motors.
29:03You're the best mechanic there is.
29:04I know, but I want to spread my wings.
29:08Don't you want us to be partners?
29:10Partners?
29:10Yeah.
29:10No.
29:11Well, what do you mean, partners?
29:13You're useless.
29:15Well, if you mean detective partners, that takes special skills, like...
29:20Like what?
29:22Teach me?
29:23Right, well, first off, the Waynthrop Agency never does divorces.
29:29Why not?
29:30She won't.
29:30She never has.
29:31It's final.
29:32Well, who's talking about divorce?
29:34We could be saving a marriage.
29:36Look, I see a mate crying into her apron.
29:40She loves her mum and dad.
29:42What would you do?
29:44Hey, love, I'm talking.
29:45She was a step away from phoning the Samaritans.
29:48Don't go yet, Manuelo.
30:08I must.
30:09I've got some sorting to do at home.
30:12Yes, your daughter.
30:13Not just her, the wife, and that Waynthrop Agency.
30:19I remember that stupid girl.
30:22She was at school with Bri.
30:24At least they were barking up the wrong tree.
30:28But they weren't so far off, were they?
30:30Don't worry about it.
30:32Usual time, Monday.
30:34Or is it you and Kirsty Withers?
30:36Don't be daft.
30:38Have you seen her husband?
30:39He's darts champion.
30:41He'd double-top me if I messed with her.
30:43I'll see you, sweetheart.
30:51Adios, amigo.
31:07Evening.
31:08Evening.
31:13What do you two want?
31:31Waynthrop Detective Agent, sir.
31:33Well, I...
31:34Yes.
31:34Who are you?
31:35The Governor?
31:36You can't be a detective.
31:37Well, no, I thought the house gets the lift for you.
31:40You've got a young woman working for you.
31:42Yeah, not, I think...
31:44You're the scum of the earth, you people.
31:47Snoopy, Prime, you've done me wrong.
31:50And I demand satisfaction.
31:52I'm not standing for this.
31:54Fuck!
31:55What's going on down here?
31:58You, Eddie Waynthrop.
32:00I am.
32:01Who are you?
32:01Donald Matthews.
32:04I'm here because one of your employees last night made an offensive and diabolical blunder
32:10which has caused untold distress to several parties.
32:13I have no employees.
32:15I have my partner, Mr. Shawcross.
32:19I think I can explain some of it.
32:21You do that, young man.
32:25Here's my car.
32:27If I haven't received a full explanation and apology by last thing tomorrow,
32:31I'm putting the old matter in the hands of my solicitors.
32:34Good day.
32:39Tea?
32:41Or coffee, anyone?
32:42Well, you'd like some tea, thank you, auntie.
32:54So, last night, Geoffrey, when you left here, you and Janet went out on the town somewhere?
33:03No, well, that is, yes, she was a bit upset about her Uncle Donald.
33:09Donald?
33:09Uncle Donald.
33:15Matthews, by any chance?
33:17No, er, I don't know.
33:20I never met him.
33:21It was my fault what happened in a roundabout, right?
33:42Yes, it was definitely my fault.
33:45Was Geoffrey Mr. Wainthrop?
33:47Well, I don't know, you see, I've only just got up.
33:50It was like we were trying to save a branch.
33:53Were you now?
33:54Yes.
33:55Like, if it was just a midlife crisis and he realised his mistake, he might go back to his wife.
34:01They love each other and...
34:02This girl was desperate.
34:05She was only one step away from phoning the Samaritans.
34:08So, what do you suggest, Mr. Shawcross, to save the reputation of this agency?
34:16I, well, I...
34:17Geoff's quite right in saying that this man's up to something, Mrs. Wainthrop.
34:21He's out every night.
34:22Fretware classes, Spanish cookery.
34:24He's learning trombone Wednesdays.
34:26No, sax, saxophone Wednesdays.
34:27Right.
34:28He could be having his little fling at any of these places.
34:31So, are you suggesting, Janet, that we enrol in these classes to spy on a man in order to blackmail him into silence?
34:40I'd rather throw in the towel.
34:41No.
34:43Janet didn't mean that, Mrs. Wainthrop.
34:44Hold on.
34:44No, no, look.
34:46We got you into this.
34:47Why don't you let us get you out?
34:50I've put some eggs on the timer.
34:52Four minutes.
34:54Oh, my goodness.
34:56And now, since you've other things to contend with, I shall slip away.
35:00Back home.
35:01Where the heart is.
35:02Tick-tock.
35:03I can't desert them.
35:05They all need winding.
35:07No, you can't go back.
35:09Not on your own.
35:10You're in danger.
35:14Geoffrey will go back with you.
35:17Right.
35:18Auntie, keep an eye out.
35:36I'm looking for something suitable to entertain my grandchildren.
35:39Oh.
35:40Oh, yeah.
35:41That one.
35:42I love that one.
35:43Oh, well, I'll take your word on it.
35:51Don't tell me it's Sean, isn't it?
35:54No, Barry.
35:56Barry.
35:57Of course you are.
36:00I remember you and your brother when you were knee-high.
36:03I'm a very old friend of your mother's.
36:05Is she well?
36:06No.
36:07She's dead.
36:08Oh, no.
36:09Oh.
36:11Oh, I am sorry.
36:13When?
36:14Three months last Tuesday.
36:16You know, she'd only go back from Spain on the Sunday.
36:18Spain?
36:18Ah, the doctor told her not to travel, but she wouldn't listen.
36:21I think she wanted to die out there among her own sort.
36:26Well, it's understandable.
36:29I wish I'd known.
36:31I'd have come for the funeral.
36:33Or did you just want to keep it family?
36:35Family.
36:36Just Sean and myself and a couple of neighbours.
36:38Oh, and Connie, of course.
36:40Connie?
36:42Connie.
36:42Our sister.
36:44Oh, little Connie.
36:47Of course.
36:49Does she still live, fair about?
36:51No, she lives in Bake Up.
36:53And she married that fellow.
36:54What's his name?
36:56I've learnt off videos.
36:58Oh, Mr Delaney.
37:00Mr Delaney.
37:01Er, she married nobody.
37:03Oh, well, I'll never hear you, are you, see?
37:07What do I owe you?
37:08£2.25.
37:10I'll find it for you.
37:13We'll have the money.
37:14Yes, we will.
37:15Look, er, just give us two quid.
37:18No, no, no.
37:19Fair, fair.
37:20I couldn't get the money.
37:21I never shortchanged anybody.
37:23Delaney.
37:24He's a nasty piece of work, Mrs Wainthrow.
37:27And the Flintoff boys?
37:29Just cogs in the wheel.
37:31Could they be violent?
37:33What's their game?
37:37I need to know, Chief Inspector.
37:40A client's safety depends on it.
37:43Is it something to do with videos?
37:45What's this about, Mrs Wainthrow?
37:47I don't need to go into the details.
37:50It's quite trivial.
37:51But I've just heard Delaney demanding money from the Flintoffs with menaces.
37:57And I need to know why.
38:00We think they collect videos from Holland for him.
38:03Illegal stuff.
38:05Maybe on this occasion the foreign link broke down.
38:07They returned empty-handed.
38:09Delaney had paid them half up front and wanted his money back.
38:12Now, that's my information.
38:14What have you got for me?
38:20Oh, very well.
38:23It's about a clock.
38:25A clock?
38:26Mm.
38:27Who owns it?
38:28I thought it was the Flintoff boys.
38:31Now there's a sister which changes things.
38:34Her name's Connie.
38:35Did you know about her?
38:36Connie Flintoff, sometimes known as Conchita.
38:43She's clear.
38:44She runs a Spanish cookery class.
38:48That's very interesting.
38:50Now, for an authentic paella,
38:53you should have risotto rice,
38:55but you can use long grapes,
38:57pieces of meat, right?
38:59Chicken is best, but if you must, you can't use rabbits.
39:02Or as a pinch, any leftover meats.
39:04And, of course, seafood.
39:06Particularly prawns or calamari.
39:12Yes, I'm here, Mrs. Wainthrop.
39:15Everything's okay, yes.
39:17Well, let's hope it stays that way.
39:19And I've made some progress.
39:20Put Monty on, will you?
39:26Mrs. Wainthrop.
39:28Monty, listen carefully.
39:31You must phone up the Flintoffs now
39:33and arrange to hand over the clock
39:36at ten tomorrow morning.
39:38Oh, no.
39:40You must.
39:42If you don't, I'll turn you in for stealing.
39:44You'd be safer inside.
39:46Hi, love.
39:47What?
39:48Oh, are you off, Frank?
39:49Taxi's waiting.
39:50I hope I've been of some use.
39:51Oh, yes, you have.
39:53Don't go yet.
39:54Monty?
39:54Er, we'll do the train thing properly
39:56when Robert gets back.
39:58Yes.
39:58Just the three of us.
40:00Yes, we shall.
40:01And thank you very much for coming.
40:04Monty.
40:06Monty!
40:07Very well, Mrs. Wainthrop.
40:09Yes, of course, I'll do as you say.
40:10Goodbye.
40:11Goodbye.
40:23Why are you doing this to us?
40:25Donald?
40:37Conchita?
40:39Conchita Flintoff.
40:41There are some things you have to let go in life, Monty.
40:50Though, who am I to tell you that?
40:53All those years at the bank, people treated one with such respect.
40:58Or terror.
41:00When, in truth, underneath it, all one was a child.
41:03Child.
41:05This, um, sister, you say?
41:08Geoffrey's gone to fetch her.
41:10He'll bring her through here.
41:11I hope they're on time.
41:14Oh, that's beautiful.
41:15Is it Spanish?
41:17It was my wife, Melissa's folly.
41:22Good heavens, they'll be here.
41:24What's she doing here?
41:49This is family business.
41:50Mrs. Wainthrop is a private detective.
41:53Here to see fair play.
41:55This is your clock, gentlemen.
42:00It's all right.
42:01It's all right.
42:01It's our clock.
42:01It's in here.
42:03Conchita.
42:04You're quite sure that you and your brother and nobody else own this valuable clock?
42:14It's ours.
42:15It was our mam's.
42:16And when she died, she left it to me and Sean.
42:20Sires!
42:22It's one third mine and you know it.
42:25Connie.
42:25That clock belonged to our late mother.
42:28She did make a will, but unfortunately forgot to put the clock in it.
42:31So it was up for grabs.
42:33And grabbed it they did, my brothers, without consulting me.
42:37Ease down.
42:38And when they couldn't get it back, Saturday night, they had the nerve to burst into my
42:43flat and ask me for money.
42:45And now I know why.
42:47Connie, baby.
42:48Don't Connie, baby me, Sean.
42:50It's Conchita.
42:53It was only Mrs. Wainthrop here told me what your game was.
42:57Well, so what happens now?
43:00Do we chop it off in three pieces?
43:02Oh, no.
43:03No.
43:04What's it worth, Monty?
43:08Six thousand pounds.
43:10And it's now in perfect working order.
43:14So, two grand buys me out, boys.
43:18Can't you manage it?
43:20Well, let's try it the other way.
43:23I'll buy you out on condition that I never see your ugly faces again.
43:30Two for you, Sean.
43:31And two for you, Barry.
43:34Does that cover your debts?
43:36Mother will be so pleased.
43:39We never were planning to nick it.
43:41I'm sure you weren't, Mr. Flintoff.
43:47Sean?
43:50Barry?
43:52Go on.
43:53Let's go.
43:54Hasta luego, Mr. Manos.
43:56Well, thank goodness that's over.
44:01Oh, Mrs. Wainthrop.
44:04Mr. Francis, I understand you have some affection for this object.
44:10Can you raise the asking price?
44:12Aye.
44:13Oh, for good heavens, I'm not sure.
44:17Well, there's no hurry.
44:19I'll just step out into your garden if you want to think about it.
44:22Oh, yes.
44:24Please do.
44:32Do you want this clock, Monty?
44:35Of course I do.
44:38But...
44:39£6,000.
44:46And it might actually be worth a bit more.
44:51As much as your caravan.
44:52My caravan.
45:00My clock.
45:01My mother said there was a caravan in the back of one of these gardens.
45:04I didn't believe her.
45:05But this is it.
45:07She grew up on one just like this in Andalusia.
45:11Half Spanish, yet born and brought up in Lancashire.
45:14Must have been interesting.
45:15Oh, it was.
45:17Sean, Barry and Constance.
45:19But to Mum, I was always Conchita.
45:21Conchita.
45:23Is that where you got it from, Miss Flintoff?
45:25The music and the cooking.
45:27My regards to Mr Matthews when you see him.
45:30Mr Matthews?
45:32His daughter.
45:33My girlfriend's best mate at school.
45:36We had a visit from him on Sunday morning.
45:39There'd been a misunderstanding.
45:41Oh?
45:43You can give him my assurance
45:44that I've made it quite plain to all my stuff
45:47that this agency never deals with matters of that nature.
45:53As a matter of fact, Mrs Wainthrop,
45:55the problem's gone.
45:57As you've seen,
45:58I don't like family disputes either.
46:01Mr Matthews will not be attending my cookery class again.
46:04Well, I'd better be on my way.
46:13Goodbye.
46:15There are other small boats in the bay in need of a paddle.
46:18My dear lady,
46:20I shall put the word out to all owners of small bobbing craft
46:23recommending the Wainthrop knife boat.
46:26What's going on?
46:29What are you doing?
46:30Open it.
46:31Well, what is it?
46:32Open it.
46:33It's a joke or something.
46:36Oh, Monty sent his socks back.
46:41What's this?
46:43Sydney, Australia.
46:44Today.
46:45What are you talking about?
46:47Here's your passport.
46:47We've taken care of everything.
46:49And we've got a case for you.
46:50Don't be silly.
46:51Oh, I don't believe it is.
46:52Oh, is this...
46:53I know it's a bit short notice,
46:54but Monty knew someone on the airline.
46:55And we didn't want to give you any time to object.
46:58Now, we'll be ringing Mr. Wainthrop to make sure he meets your brother.
47:01Now, let's go.
47:01Come on.
47:02Have you watched the dishes?
47:04But the agents, what about here?
47:06Don't worry, Major.
47:08We won't take on anything we can't have to profit, Sherry.
47:11Did Robert fall?
47:12Oh, what?
47:13Is this deadly?
47:14Oh, what?
47:15Oh, my goodness.
47:16Oh, he's a bit of death for me.
47:19It's not a death for me.
47:20No, it's not a death for me.
47:21Oh, what?
47:22Oh, no.
47:22Oh, no.
47:25Oh, no.
47:55Hello, love.
48:07Surprise, surprise.
48:09It's me.
48:09I'm back home.
48:13Hetty?
48:16Hetty?
48:16Itty?
