Nick!
Nick, will you bring up my
PHONE RINGS
Aidensfield Police.
Oh hello, Alf.
The pawnbroker's?
Well, it's been broken into.
Isn't that on Phil's beat?
Well, when did he last ring in?
About 40 minutes ago.
Could be he's on to something,
or having a quiet fag
behind the fire station.
Soon as he makes point,
I'll send him on.
Some sort of van, you think?
Aye, small.
A minivan, maybe?
- Like I said, small.
- Dark coloured?
Black, or maybe blue.
No, no, I tell a lie.
It were green, dark green.
Oh, making such a racket
enough to wake up the dead.
Oh, thanks for your help, Mr. Harris.
I'd give you the number,
but they were going so fast.
If we need to speak to you again,
we'll be in touch. Excuse me.
- Phil?
- Alf's just told me.
- What happened?
- How do you mean?
You're suppose to be door-
knobbing this area, aren't you?
Got caught up with something.
What's the damage?
The owner's still checking.
Come on!
Yeah!
Come on then!
Come on. Come on! Come.
Come on here.
- Alex.
- Kate!
What's all this?
I've got a patient waiting.
I was daydreaming over the papers.
I swear to you,
if Mr. Parrish hadn't phoned.
Mr. Parrish?
His bronchitis is playing him up again.
Mr. Parrish is on my list, Alex.
Yes, of course he is. I
What on Earth am I doing?
Feeling the urge to
work again, that's what.
Heavens, no! It's just that
I'm sorry, Kate.
Damn telephone call
obviously got me going.
Don't even think about it.
No.
Well, I
I'll leave him to you then, eh?
Marvellous.
I put my head down for five minutes,
there's a bloody crime wave.
One of the neighbours saw a minivan
when she was putting her cat out.
She thought it was delivering.
Delivering? That time of night?
They deserved to be robbed.
Oh what about this minivan then?
Well, there's no number for it, sarge.
But everyone who heard it,
said it had a rough and loud exhaust.
Well these thieves seemed to
know what they were looking for.
- Bellamy, you were on duty last night?
- Yes, Sarge.
Well a van loading up at the back
of a shop at 11 o'clock at night.
Where the hell were you?
Well I checked the premises
just before the break-in, sarge.
And you saw and heard nothing?
Well, no. I'd moved
on by then, aren't I?
What were you doing there, Rowan?
- Alf called me out.
- Alf?
Well, it sounded like it might
have been a mob-handed job.
You know, that PC Bellamy
might have needed some help.
Right. Well, you handle this, Rowan.
Jewellery shouldn't be
difficult to recognise.
If anything starts circulating,
I want to know.
They'd have to be pretty
dumb to try it, sarge.
If all criminals were intelligent,
we'd be out of a job.
Hello! Hello!
He's very friendly, isn't he?
A real softy, is Jimbo.
I'm Dr. Rowan.
Mr. Parrish called the surgery.
All right, David. I'll handle this.
(COUGHS)
Come on in, Doctor.
I'm sorry to make a fuss.
It's no trouble, Mr. Parrish.
When did you first have
treatment for this?
Shortly after I came to live here.
Dr. Ferrenby put it down
to chronic bronchitis.
Were you ever a smoker, Mr. Parrish?
Not me. No, you need a
good pair of lungs in my job.
Greyhound trainer, wasn't I?
You seem to have made
quite a go of it.
I had a bit of luck now and then.
Is Jimbo one of your racing dog?
No. I gave it up some years back.
But I kept Jimbo.
I trained him up,
just to keep my hand in, like.
Well, what do you think?
I'm not sure.
Seems odd that before you came here,
you had no history of chest trouble.
Marvellous, isn't it?
I come here for my health,
after I retired, and this happens.
You were in the First
World War, Mr. Parrish?
Right. With the West Kents.
That's me and my mates
before we left for Gallipoli.
The reason I asked is
that some of my patients
still suffer the after
effects of gassing.
Oh, none of that in Gallipoli.
There it was Turks, heat, flies and
thick-as-two-short-planks generals.
Just a thought.
Fine-looking young men.
Aye.
None of them came back, you know.
Saving yours truly, like.
Take one for yourself
and one for Liverpool Lil.
Thanks, Claude.
You sold another bit of land, Claude?
No. Got my insurance
money for my car at last.
The American one?
What took 'em so long?
They said I only insured it for
third party, fire and theft.
So I told 'em it's a third party
that nicked it and set fire to it.
Marvellous, isn't it? First time
you make a legitimate claim,
they try to knock you.
I bet you made a profit though!
Naturally, no I mean,
still a liberty, ain't it.
Gina, you know most of the young
lads around here, don't you?
Well, I know a few, like.
Do you know one with
a black greyhound?
Black greyhound?
That'll be David Parrish.
Parrish. That name rings a bell.
It's not his though.
Belongs to his granddad.
You know, the old chap who
bought the Harrison place.
Yeah, David's come to
help out on the farm.
He's not well, you see.
Anyway, what do you
want to know for?
Well, I know I just saw the
dog running, you know.
It looks like a flying machine.
David!
How is he, Doctor?
Not great. I'll make up a
mixture to ease the cough.
But he'll have to stay
indoors and rest.
I hate to see him like that.
Sometimes he can't
seem to breathe at all.
I wish he'll pack it in.
Mum and Dad want him with us,
but he won't have it, will he?
Any progress locating
that minivan, Rowan?
Not yet, sarge.
With a dodgy exhaust,
we should find it.
Not much to go on, is it?
It's about all we've got.
And if it's local, we'll have it.
Aye. And pigs might fly.
Are you sure it's bronchitis?
Well, it's very common among men
of his age in this part of the world.
Yes, but he doesn't
come from around here.
And he's had no history of chest trouble
until this flared up a few months ago.
So?
So I'm wondering if it might
be an allergic reaction.
An allergic reaction?
Yes.
I'm sure I've read somewhere
about an allergy
with symptoms very
similar to Mr. Parrish's.
You know what I do when I
hear the word allergy, Kate?
I reach for the soap of figs.
If you take my advice, you do
exactly the same thing, my dear.
You the copper dealing with that
pawnbroker's job on Marshall Street?
Yeah, have you got a name?
Yeah, all right.
What number lockup?
Right.
I'd still like to know your name.
Concerned citizen.
Right. Thank you.
Alf. I've just had a tip-off about
that pawnbroker's break-in.
Oh, yeah?
Anonymous. Bloke says the
gear's stashed in a lockup.
Tell you who owns the lockup?
Well, I got a name.
Could be having me on.
I'll check it out.
Useless, dozy animal!
I'm doing the best I can
with him, Mr. Scarman.
Ah. You promised me the Maddleskirk
Trophy this year, Wilfred.
- Give him a chance, Jack.
- What do you know about it?
- I was just
- Wait in the car!
The money I've put into that dog!
Ah? And for what?
To be laughed off the
sodden racetrack.
Chasing.
Well, you know what it's
like with greyhounds.
I mean, you can
never tell, can you.
I mean, what looks best when you buy
can perform least when you race it.
Spare me the Claude kick
of wishdom, eh Greengrass.
Only race that bugger will win
is a three-legged handicap.
I know, but what you see is not
always what you get, is it?
Just why the hell are you
here anyway, Greengrass?
Thought you never ask, Jack.
Same as it was when I let it.
What have you found?
Some jewellery.
Stolen, by the look of it.
Bloody hell.
What do you know of
the bloke who rented it?
Not a lot.
He rang up, we agreed terms.
And he sent someone
around with the cash.
- When was that?
- A week back.
And how did he sound?
Youngish. Local, I'd say.
Oh, hang on. I've got an address.
In case of emergency.
There. Here we are.
I bet that's one emergency
he didn't reckon on. Huh!
Yes, well he may be
captain again this year.
Yes, you've told us that.
Even I, sarge.
Ah, very proud.
Well, what's this then?
Oh, you got lucky then, Nick.
It's about half the stuff nicked
from the pawnbrokers.
Oh, well done, Rowan. It's about
time you start to earn your keep.
Any idea who parked the stuff there?
- I've got an address.
- Do we know him?
Well, according to the
owner of the lockups,
it was rented to a
Mr. Peter Bennett
living at this address.
Do you recognize it, Phil?
Is this some kind of a joke?
What's going on?
It's Phil's address.
It's nothing to do with me, sarge.
A serious crime is
committed on your beat.
You see and hear nothing.
Then some of the loot
turns up in premises
rented by a mysterious stranger,
with your initials and your address.
And all you can say is
'It's nothing to do with me, sarge'?
I know how it looks, sarge, but
That's not how it looks,
it's how it is, Bellamy!
It doesn't add up, sarge.
In fact the whole thing smells.
Stinks to high heaven is
how I describe it, Rowan.
An anonymous tip-off that leads
us straight to Phil's address?
Has to be a setup, sarge.
That has yet to be determined.
I'll have to search your flat,
Bellamy, if you've no objections.
No, Sarge.
Now, David Parrish, is it?
That's right.
Of this parish?
I bet they all say that.
We've not met proper. I'm one of
your neighbours, Claude Greengrass.
Aye, I've seen you
about, Mr. Greengrass.
I heard like your grand
dad wasn't very well,
so as I was passing by,
thought I bring him a
nice few fresh eggs
and a couple of whatsits.
Thanks.
I'll hold him for you.
I'd take you to see him, only
he was up most of the night
and he's resting now.
Ah well, best let him rest.
It's real decent of you,
Mr. Greengrass.
Ah, it's no piss.
It's the sort of thing
we do up here,
you know, neighbours.
Is there anything else?
No, no, no. Well,
as a matter of fact,
there is probably one
favour you can do me.
I'll just take these and
then I'll be right back.
Ah right. I'll look after the
flying machine.
Right, you've got some quarters!
Well, no-one told me about her
the way she lied.
Well, no-one told me about her
how many people cried.
But it's too late
to say you're sorry.
How would I know,
why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to
find her, she's not there! ♪
There's nothing here, sarge.
No, nothing here either.
Told you!
It's for your own good,
this Bellamy.
Sarge, I'm no thief!
Maybe not.
But someone might say that
you have taken a pay-off
for looking the other way.
So now you're saying I'm
a bent copper, eh sarge?
I'm just telling you how
this could look to others.
Our superiors in Division who
don't know you from squit.
Sarge, it's a setup.
Bellamy may not be Brain of Britain,
but even he wouldn't rent a
lockup using his own address.
So what happens now then, eh?
Well, that's for others to decide.
Until they do
You know the procedure.
You're on suspension.
I'll keep you informed
of the situation.
Rowan!
Don't worry, Phil.
We'll sort this out.
Rowan! You know it's forbidden to see
or speak to an officer under suspension.
Yes, Sarge.
Right, then. Let's have you.
See you, Phil.
Push, push!
Ah, shake it up, shake it up!
Push, push!
Shake it, shake it now!
Hard to tell them apart, ain't it.
Yeah.
Do you love me?
I can really move.
Now do you love me?
I'm in the groove.
Why do you love me?
Say you really love me.
Now that I can dance ♪
Jack, have I got an eye or haven't I?
Ever get tired of your
own voice, Greengrass?
If you don't want
Oh, no offence, Claude.
Hey, that bloody animal left
Northern Flash standing.
Right, is it on or not, then?
One way or another, I want
that Maddleskirk Trophy.
It's on, all right.
Hey, don't worry about the
white patch. I'll sort that out.
I want that dog racing fit.
Get it here on a regular basis.
Leave it to me.
And I'll keep the kid sweet.
Don't let me down, Claude.
That dog will be carrying real money
on the night, profit for me.
And you, Claude.
Did he have to suspend him?
Well you know Blaketon.
He likes to play things by the book.
Any idea who might have set him up?
No, not yet.
We need to trace that minivan.
Oi!
I know that woman from somewhere.
Back in a minute.
Who is she?
Never you mind.
Who are those two with
Greengrass, George?
I don't know the woman.
Debbie, I think Greengrass called her.
But the bloke though,
is summat else.
Jack Scarman, property developer.
Should I know him?
You would if you cross him in business
or hung around at dog-tracks.
The duty log for night patrols, Alf.
Aye?
Wednesday 23rd. Three weeks ago.
What about it?
Well I'm out on relief
and Phil was supposed
to meet me at the
Marshall Street call box.
He was 15 minutes late.
So?
So
it says here, he was on time.
Your writing, Alf.
Oh, come on, Nick. We've all
covered for a mate in our time.
Yeah, but covered what for him?
It happened again the
night of the robbery.
Same time, same location.
You covered for that, didn't you?
Okay. I thought there was
a bird involved, didn't I?
Is her name Debbie?
He never said, and I never asked.
Well, I will.
What? Speak to him
while he's on suspension?
What if Blaketon finds out?
You can cover for me.
You're good at that, aren't you?
Mr. Parrish?
Up here, Doctor!
How are you feeling?
Not too bad now.
But last night Oh!
I need to ask you a few questions.
Do you feel up to it?
Fire away.
All right. Is this the first time
you've tried your hand at farming?
Fwah! I'd hardly call fattening
up a few calves farming, Doctor.
Yes, but did you ever spend a lot of
time on a farm before you came here?
No. Town born and bred, me.
I want to take a blood
sample, Mr. Parrish.
As soon as the labs check it,
we'll know for sure.
Know what?
The cause of your illness.
And in the meantime, I want you to stay
away from the barns and the animals.
Not even go in and see Jimbo?
Until we get the results
of the blood test, best not.
- Enjoying your holiday?
- Nick!
Well, some people have all the luck.
Blaketon will have your
head on a plate for this.
'I was out for a drink and guess
who I bumped into, Sarge.'
- Do you want a drink?
- No thanks.
You sure?
Phil, you got any thoughts on
who might have set you up?
Could be anybody.
We don't make many
friends in this job, do we?
Where were you when
the break-in happened?
You weren't on your beat, were you?
Has Alf been talking?
He didn't have to.
It's obvious you were missing.
Does Blaketon know?
No, not yet. But he ain't stupid.
The minute he checks
Yeah, well, I'll deal with
that when it happens.
Were you with Debbie?
Out of order, Nick.
But this wouldn't be the first time
a good looking woman was
used to set a copper up, Phil.
Debbie wouldn't.
It's personal, Nick.
End of story, all right?
If she had you looking the other
way when that break-in happens,
that makes it's official.
- So where do I find her?
- Forget it!
Suit yourself.
I'll have a word with Scarman.
She is his bird, isn't she?
Nick, wait!
Sorry, mate. You were right.
Come on.
Scarman's got her scared, Nick.
And if he finds out, and he would
you know, if this goes public,
can you imagine
what he'll do to her.
Is he violent?
No, with him it's all in his head.
He gets others to do his nasty bits.
But I've checked him out.
He's got no form of any kind.
Scarman stays this side of the law
in business at any rate.
But he's ruthless.
Just like he is with his women.
How did you get involved
in all this, Phil?
Found Debbie outside her house
one night, she was in a right state.
She tried leaving him and got
knocked about for her trouble.
- By Scarman?
- No. By one of his dodgy mates.
Anyway, I kept an eye on her.
One thing led to another.
Playing Sir Galahad while on duty.
You were asking for it, weren't you?
Still, one thing about all this.
It gives us someone with a
motive to want to do you.
Scarman doesn't know
anything about it.
I mean I only saw
Debbie late at night.
Well these things
get known, don't they?
If he did know, what
would he do about it?
He'd definitely go for Debbie.
Yeah, right.
After settling with you first, mate.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Morning, Kate.
Hello. I've just got the report
back on Mr. Parrish's blood test.
On what test?
To check for allergic reaction.
Oh, yes?
Well, what about it?
It's not chronic bronchitis.
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis.
It's caused by
Are you accusing me of misdiagnosing
Mr. Parrish's illness?
No, of course not.
You weren't to know.
Just teaching me
my job, is that it?
No, Alex. The disease has only
recently been identified.
Something called Farmer's Lung,
caused by fungus pores in mouldy hay.
I see.
Sorry, Kate.
You couldn't possibly have known.
At the very least, I should have
known it wasn't bronchitis.
If I hadn't read the article,
I'd have missed it too.
But you didn't.
And I did.
Well done, Kate.
- Miss Chapman?
- Yes?
PC Rowan, Aidensfield Police.
I'm pursuing enquiries about a break-in
at the pawnbrokers up the road.
What's that got to do with me?
Well I can't answer that.
But it's got everything
to do with Phil Bellamy.
It's all right. He knows I'm here.
You'd better come in.
I don't know what you
want to hear, Mr. Rowan.
Just asking you to
consider the possibility
that Jack Scarman knew
about you and Phil?
But he doesn't know!
Someone set Phil up and
I reckon it was Scarman.
You'll never pin that on Jack.
Well, likes to box
clever, doesn't he?
You know, swim through the muck
and come up smelling of roses.
If he did want to do Phil,
how would he go about it?
Jack?
Use the same bloke he
set on me, I supposed.
Do you do know who he is?
Don't want to know, do I?
Phil put himself
on the line for you.
He's past the age
of consent, isn't he?
This business could destroy
his career if it's not cleared up.
If Jack is behind it,
there is a bloke he'd use.
He's a bit older than Phil and
fancies himself as a right tough guy.
At least where women are concerned.
So you know who he is?
Yeah. I've met him.
Jack had him pressure me
when I wanted to leave.
How?
Knocking me about.
That's how I met Phil, when this
character had almost run me over.
What's his name?
I only know him as Eddie.
He didn't exactly introduce himself.
Really fancies himself though.
Drives a souped-up minivan.
So now we're looking for a minivan
with a souped-up engine.
Every witness I spoke to said it kicked
up a racket when it was driven off.
Yeah. Faulty exhaust.
Well, that's what I thought.
But according to this Debbie,
he's got a souped-up engine.
I don't see how it helps.
Well, we can't go round looking into the
bonnet of every minivan in the country.
Yes, it's a minivan.
Dark green bodywork.
With a Cooper engine?
Could be.
Hang about.
It's this Farmer's Lung,
then, is it?
Yes.
Will I get better?
If we've caught it early enough,
and I think we have.
But you'll have to stay
away from hay and straw.
But what about my calves?
Any kind of animal farming
is out of the question.
Well, I can't stay out
here unless I'm earning.
Well, I can only advise you.
But if you want to get better,
you'll have to have someone
else to look after the animals.
I can't afford that!
It was a bit of a dream, you know.
Having a place like this.
After I retired.
I'm sorry.
But your health must
come first, Mr. Parrish.
Morning, David!
Oh, Dr. Rowan!
Keeping busy?
Yeah. Bringing Jimbo up
to Mr. Greengrass house.
Helping to train greyhounds
but don't tell my granddad.
I didn't know Mr. Greengrass
kept greyhounds.
They're not his. Mr. Scarman's dogs.
Mr. Scarman's?
Looks like well paid work.
I'll say. Mr. Greengrass has
been really generous about it.
Fishfingers?
I like fishfingers.
Good.
Nick, I'm a bit worried
about David Parrish.
He's working for Greengrass and he
doesn't want his grandfather to know.
Why?
Apparently, Mr. Parrish was one
of the best greyhound trainers
in the country before he came up here.
Now Greengrass is using Jimbo,
Mr. Parrish's greyhound to help
train up someone else's dog.
Whose dog?
Jack Scarman's.
I thought that might interest you!
Hello, Claude.
Frightened the life out of me!
How's your luck been lately?
Well, you know, up and down,
mostly in the middle.
What, even on the dog tracks?
(CHOKES)
You all right?
It's gone down the wrong hole!
I hear you've been helping
out Jack Scarman.
Well, a bit of business, that's all.
He's a you know, he's acquaintance.
I'm looking for a friend of his.
Young bloke, about thirtyish.
Drives a souped-up minivan.
- Has he got a name?
- No name.
Better get him baptised then.
Come on, Claude.
Look, I'm just helping
Scarman out, that's all.
I don't know about the people
who works for him, do I?
I mean, it's none of my business.
And nor was greyhound racing mine.
Until maybe now.
See you, Claude.
David!
I've just had the village
constable on the phone, David.
Oh what, what for?
A chat about you and Mr. Greengrass.
And how it might concern Jimbo.
I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
Mr. Greengrass said not
to bother you about it.
Don't worry.
I know my own grandson.
More to the point, I know the ways
of some the greyhound world.
What do you mean?
First tell me what's been happening.
And I mean, everything.
Edward Mooney.
You what?
That vehicle's registered
to one Edward Mooney.
There's an address in Leeds.
It's probably out of date.
Right. I won't be long.
Where are you going?
If anyone asks,
you can cover for me.
PINKY AND PERKY ON TV
KNOCK AT DOOR
- Hello, Phil.
- What are you doing here?
Can I come in?
What if Blaketon hears?
He won't.
Here.
Ta.
You broadening your mind?
Well?
Have you heard of
an Eddie Mooney?
Eddie Mooney.
Can't say I have. Why?
Well, we think we found the van,
it's registered in his name.
It wasn't a noisy exhaust,
it's got a souped-up engine.
Oh, do we know where he lives?
No, but we've found the garage he uses,
so hopefully we'll find him soon.
Good.
Yes, don't you go wandering off this
afternoon. You stay by the phone!
What, and miss this?
TANNOY: 'Results of race one.'
'Winner - Number 3, High Society.'
'Second - Number 5, Prince.'
ENGINE ROARS
You go and get a cup of tea.
You'll look after Jimbo?
Oh, don't you worry about that.
He'll be all right with me and Alfred.
Right. I'll see you
after the big race then.
Oh. What kept you?
I came back as quick as I could.
Well, I've just had a call for police
at Maddleskirk's dog track.
The van's there, and so is
Mooney, they reckoned.
Have you told Blaketon?
Not yet, no.
He's out at the moment.
When he's back, tell him I've gone
over there to deal with it, alright?
Phil, it's me. Listen. Get yourself over
to the Maddleskirk's dog track.
I'll meet you in the car park. Yeah.
Alright. I'll see you then.
Thanks, Alf.
You left a message.
What kept you?
Visiting my auntie in Leeds, right.
Hello, gorgeous.
Missed me, have you?
Not very friendly to
your mates, is she?
She's still learning. Here.
Get weaving.
Georgy Porgy, Trap 6.
- Next!
- Northern Flash.
Northern Flash.
Times today at 29.40.
Running in the Maddleskirk
Trophy race.
Owner J. Scarman, right?
Right.
Northern Flash. Trap 1.
- Thanks.
- Next!
You stay there.
In, in! Go on! Go on! Go on!
Are you sure Jimbo
will be all right?
Just take it easy, son.
They're playing my game now.
We'll see who plays it best.
This is the one.
I want that basket, Nick.
Take it easy, Phil.
Come on, let's go and get him.
He's probably gonna be with Scarman.
Scarman's here today?
He's got a dog running
in the big race.
TANNOY: 'Results of Race 2.'
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
Rembrandt couldn't
have done a better job.
Their own mothers wouldn't
know 'em apart.
- How's it going out there?
- We're on, next race. Trap 1.
Aye, not a bad draw. Right. I'd
better get the brass sorted out.
How much are you having on?
As much as I can get.
You crazy sod.
Yeah well, reap while the sun shine.
Give the bookies a thumping
while you're doing it.
I'm gonna have a mingle.
Look after Alfred for me, will you?
Yeah.
- Are you all right?
- Fine.
Scarman's not tried anything, has he?
No. At least not yet.
It's what he did to you!
I can deal with that.
It's you I'm worried about.
Don't worry. I'm working on it.
We're looking for a friend of Scarman's.
Eddie Mooney. Is he here?
He's here all right.
Over there, in black.
Watch yourself with him.
He's a bloody odd case, that one.
I'd better get back.
- Take care, Phil.
- And you.
We'll move in behind him.
I don't want him to see us, alright?
And Phil this is a police arrest,
not the gunfight at the Okay Corral.
Come on.
Yeah, what do you want?
This your dog tied up here?
Yes.
Well, it was. Where is it?
He went that way.
Oh, bloody hell!
- Alfred!
- Alfred!
We hope to hear him swear,
we love to hear him squeak
We like to see him biting
fingers in his horny beak
Sometimes he wants to
whistle through his nose

You're nicked, mate!
No good blaming me, Jack.
You're not the only one who's
lost money, you know.
I've done my brains.
You dozy dozy!
A dead ringer, eh? Couldn't fail.
What happened?
I wouldn't trust that Wilfred
as far as I could chuck him.
He's so bent, he can't
lie straight in bed.
I bet he's been taking dropsy
from the bookmakers.
Mr. Scarman! This ain't Jimbo, boss.
Look!
It's our own bloody

No. Wait on!
Greengrass!
Jack, don't! Don't! Jack!
I'm going to teach you a lesson!
Don't! Don't, please! No!
THUDS AND SHOUTS
No, lads! My war wound!
Look what's just blown in.
Alf, Nick.
Blaketon called me over.
Must be something to do
with his friend Eddie.
Yeah.
And the rest of the pawnbroker's
stuff we found stashed in his place.
I'm in the clear then?
Well, Mooney confessed
to fitting you up.
Claimed he had a
grudge against you.
I thought Scarman
put him up to it.
Well he did.
But if it came out why he did, then
his pride goes straight out the window.
What with the thrashing he took
at the dogs, Debbie legging it
Scarman had better days.
Ah Bellamy.
I've just been in consultation
with our superiors at Division.
In view of Mooney's confession
you're back on duty.
So let's see your face down
here first thing in the morning.
Now hop it! Can't have you distracting
the work of these constables here.
- Sarge.
- Yes?
Thanks.
And I do mean first thing!
Well it's obvious Mooney's
taking the rap for Scarman
not that we could
ever prove it, mind.
Bit of a mystery, though, why Scarman
would want to nobble Bellamy.
But then, what would life be like
without its little mysteries?
Pint of usual.
Hello, David.
- Dr. Rowan.
- Mr. Parrish!
Here, I've decided
to take your advice.
You know, pack it in here.
I think that's very wise.
I'm going to live
with David's family.
Well, you must be pleased, David.
Huh, you bet!
Well, when one dream fails,
time to try another.
Eh, Dr. Rowan?
And what's that?
A trip to Gallipoli.
A last look-in on my old
army mates in the cemetery.
Got any more good tips
then for us, Claude?
Next time you do a bit of ringing,
make sure it's the church bells.

Aidensfield Police.
Oh hello, Alf.
The pawnbroker's?
Well, it's been broken into.
Isn't that on Phil's beat?
Well, when did he last ring in?
About 40 minutes ago.
Could be he's on to something,
or having a quiet fag
behind the fire station.
Soon as he makes point,
I'll send him on.
Some sort of van, you think?
Aye, small.
A minivan, maybe?
- Like I said, small.
- Dark coloured?
Black, or maybe blue.
No, no, I tell a lie.
It were green, dark green.
Oh, making such a racket
enough to wake up the dead.
Oh, thanks for your help, Mr. Harris.
I'd give you the number,
but they were going so fast.
If we need to speak to you again,
we'll be in touch. Excuse me.
- Phil?
- Alf's just told me.
- What happened?
- How do you mean?
You're suppose to be door-
knobbing this area, aren't you?
Got caught up with something.
What's the damage?
The owner's still checking.
Come on!
Yeah!
Come on then!
Come on. Come on! Come.
Come on here.
- Alex.
- Kate!
What's all this?
I've got a patient waiting.
I was daydreaming over the papers.
I swear to you,
if Mr. Parrish hadn't phoned.
Mr. Parrish?
His bronchitis is playing him up again.
Mr. Parrish is on my list, Alex.
Yes, of course he is. I
What on Earth am I doing?
Feeling the urge to
work again, that's what.
Heavens, no! It's just that
I'm sorry, Kate.
Damn telephone call
obviously got me going.
Don't even think about it.
No.
Well, I
I'll leave him to you then, eh?
Marvellous.
I put my head down for five minutes,
there's a bloody crime wave.
One of the neighbours saw a minivan
when she was putting her cat out.
She thought it was delivering.
Delivering? That time of night?
They deserved to be robbed.
Oh what about this minivan then?
Well, there's no number for it, sarge.
But everyone who heard it,
said it had a rough and loud exhaust.
Well these thieves seemed to
know what they were looking for.
- Bellamy, you were on duty last night?
- Yes, Sarge.
Well a van loading up at the back
of a shop at 11 o'clock at night.
Where the hell were you?
Well I checked the premises
just before the break-in, sarge.
And you saw and heard nothing?
Well, no. I'd moved
on by then, aren't I?
What were you doing there, Rowan?
- Alf called me out.
- Alf?
Well, it sounded like it might
have been a mob-handed job.
You know, that PC Bellamy
might have needed some help.
Right. Well, you handle this, Rowan.
Jewellery shouldn't be
difficult to recognise.
If anything starts circulating,
I want to know.
They'd have to be pretty
dumb to try it, sarge.
If all criminals were intelligent,
we'd be out of a job.
Hello! Hello!
He's very friendly, isn't he?
A real softy, is Jimbo.
I'm Dr. Rowan.
Mr. Parrish called the surgery.
All right, David. I'll handle this.
(COUGHS)
Come on in, Doctor.
I'm sorry to make a fuss.
It's no trouble, Mr. Parrish.
When did you first have
treatment for this?
Shortly after I came to live here.
Dr. Ferrenby put it down
to chronic bronchitis.
Were you ever a smoker, Mr. Parrish?
Not me. No, you need a
good pair of lungs in my job.
Greyhound trainer, wasn't I?
You seem to have made
quite a go of it.
I had a bit of luck now and then.
Is Jimbo one of your racing dog?
No. I gave it up some years back.
But I kept Jimbo.
I trained him up,
just to keep my hand in, like.
Well, what do you think?
I'm not sure.
Seems odd that before you came here,
you had no history of chest trouble.
Marvellous, isn't it?
I come here for my health,
after I retired, and this happens.
You were in the First
World War, Mr. Parrish?
Right. With the West Kents.
That's me and my mates
before we left for Gallipoli.
The reason I asked is
that some of my patients
still suffer the after
effects of gassing.
Oh, none of that in Gallipoli.
There it was Turks, heat, flies and
thick-as-two-short-planks generals.
Just a thought.
Fine-looking young men.
Aye.
None of them came back, you know.
Saving yours truly, like.
Take one for yourself
and one for Liverpool Lil.
Thanks, Claude.
You sold another bit of land, Claude?
No. Got my insurance
money for my car at last.
The American one?
What took 'em so long?
They said I only insured it for
third party, fire and theft.
So I told 'em it's a third party
that nicked it and set fire to it.
Marvellous, isn't it? First time
you make a legitimate claim,
they try to knock you.
I bet you made a profit though!
Naturally, no I mean,
still a liberty, ain't it.
Gina, you know most of the young
lads around here, don't you?
Well, I know a few, like.
Do you know one with
a black greyhound?
Black greyhound?
That'll be David Parrish.
Parrish. That name rings a bell.
It's not his though.
Belongs to his granddad.
You know, the old chap who
bought the Harrison place.
Yeah, David's come to
help out on the farm.
He's not well, you see.
Anyway, what do you
want to know for?
Well, I know I just saw the
dog running, you know.
It looks like a flying machine.
David!
How is he, Doctor?
Not great. I'll make up a
mixture to ease the cough.
But he'll have to stay
indoors and rest.
I hate to see him like that.
Sometimes he can't
seem to breathe at all.
I wish he'll pack it in.
Mum and Dad want him with us,
but he won't have it, will he?
Any progress locating
that minivan, Rowan?
Not yet, sarge.
With a dodgy exhaust,
we should find it.
Not much to go on, is it?
It's about all we've got.
And if it's local, we'll have it.
Aye. And pigs might fly.
Are you sure it's bronchitis?
Well, it's very common among men
of his age in this part of the world.
Yes, but he doesn't
come from around here.
And he's had no history of chest trouble
until this flared up a few months ago.
So?
So I'm wondering if it might
be an allergic reaction.
An allergic reaction?
Yes.
I'm sure I've read somewhere
about an allergy
with symptoms very
similar to Mr. Parrish's.
You know what I do when I
hear the word allergy, Kate?
I reach for the soap of figs.
If you take my advice, you do
exactly the same thing, my dear.
You the copper dealing with that
pawnbroker's job on Marshall Street?
Yeah, have you got a name?
Yeah, all right.
What number lockup?
Right.
I'd still like to know your name.
Concerned citizen.
Right. Thank you.
Alf. I've just had a tip-off about
that pawnbroker's break-in.
Oh, yeah?
Anonymous. Bloke says the
gear's stashed in a lockup.
Tell you who owns the lockup?
Well, I got a name.
Could be having me on.
I'll check it out.
Useless, dozy animal!
I'm doing the best I can
with him, Mr. Scarman.
Ah. You promised me the Maddleskirk
Trophy this year, Wilfred.
- Give him a chance, Jack.
- What do you know about it?
- I was just
- Wait in the car!
The money I've put into that dog!
Ah? And for what?
To be laughed off the
sodden racetrack.
Chasing.
Well, you know what it's
like with greyhounds.
I mean, you can
never tell, can you.
I mean, what looks best when you buy
can perform least when you race it.
Spare me the Claude kick
of wishdom, eh Greengrass.
Only race that bugger will win
is a three-legged handicap.
I know, but what you see is not
always what you get, is it?
Just why the hell are you
here anyway, Greengrass?
Thought you never ask, Jack.
Same as it was when I let it.
What have you found?
Some jewellery.
Stolen, by the look of it.
Bloody hell.
What do you know of
the bloke who rented it?
Not a lot.
He rang up, we agreed terms.
And he sent someone
around with the cash.
- When was that?
- A week back.
And how did he sound?
Youngish. Local, I'd say.
Oh, hang on. I've got an address.
In case of emergency.
There. Here we are.
I bet that's one emergency
he didn't reckon on. Huh!
Yes, well he may be
captain again this year.
Yes, you've told us that.
Even I, sarge.
Ah, very proud.
Well, what's this then?
Oh, you got lucky then, Nick.
It's about half the stuff nicked
from the pawnbrokers.
Oh, well done, Rowan. It's about
time you start to earn your keep.
Any idea who parked the stuff there?
- I've got an address.
- Do we know him?
Well, according to the
owner of the lockups,
it was rented to a
Mr. Peter Bennett
living at this address.
Do you recognize it, Phil?
Is this some kind of a joke?
What's going on?
It's Phil's address.
It's nothing to do with me, sarge.
A serious crime is
committed on your beat.
You see and hear nothing.
Then some of the loot
turns up in premises
rented by a mysterious stranger,
with your initials and your address.
And all you can say is
'It's nothing to do with me, sarge'?
I know how it looks, sarge, but
That's not how it looks,
it's how it is, Bellamy!
It doesn't add up, sarge.
In fact the whole thing smells.
Stinks to high heaven is
how I describe it, Rowan.
An anonymous tip-off that leads
us straight to Phil's address?
Has to be a setup, sarge.
That has yet to be determined.
I'll have to search your flat,
Bellamy, if you've no objections.
No, Sarge.
Now, David Parrish, is it?
That's right.
Of this parish?
I bet they all say that.
We've not met proper. I'm one of
your neighbours, Claude Greengrass.
Aye, I've seen you
about, Mr. Greengrass.
I heard like your grand
dad wasn't very well,
so as I was passing by,
thought I bring him a
nice few fresh eggs
and a couple of whatsits.
Thanks.
I'll hold him for you.
I'd take you to see him, only
he was up most of the night
and he's resting now.
Ah well, best let him rest.
It's real decent of you,
Mr. Greengrass.
Ah, it's no piss.
It's the sort of thing
we do up here,
you know, neighbours.
Is there anything else?
No, no, no. Well,
as a matter of fact,
there is probably one
favour you can do me.
I'll just take these and
then I'll be right back.
Ah right. I'll look after the
flying machine.
Right, you've got some quarters!
Well, no-one told me about her
the way she lied.
Well, no-one told me about her
how many people cried.
But it's too late
to say you're sorry.
How would I know,
why should I care?
Please don't bother trying to
find her, she's not there! ♪
There's nothing here, sarge.
No, nothing here either.
Told you!
It's for your own good,
this Bellamy.
Sarge, I'm no thief!
Maybe not.
But someone might say that
you have taken a pay-off
for looking the other way.
So now you're saying I'm
a bent copper, eh sarge?
I'm just telling you how
this could look to others.
Our superiors in Division who
don't know you from squit.
Sarge, it's a setup.
Bellamy may not be Brain of Britain,
but even he wouldn't rent a
lockup using his own address.
So what happens now then, eh?
Well, that's for others to decide.
Until they do
You know the procedure.
You're on suspension.
I'll keep you informed
of the situation.
Rowan!
Don't worry, Phil.
We'll sort this out.
Rowan! You know it's forbidden to see
or speak to an officer under suspension.
Yes, Sarge.
Right, then. Let's have you.
See you, Phil.
Push, push!
Ah, shake it up, shake it up!
Push, push!
Shake it, shake it now!
Hard to tell them apart, ain't it.
Yeah.
Do you love me?
I can really move.
Now do you love me?
I'm in the groove.
Why do you love me?
Say you really love me.
Now that I can dance ♪
Jack, have I got an eye or haven't I?
Ever get tired of your
own voice, Greengrass?
If you don't want
Oh, no offence, Claude.
Hey, that bloody animal left
Northern Flash standing.
Right, is it on or not, then?
One way or another, I want
that Maddleskirk Trophy.
It's on, all right.
Hey, don't worry about the
white patch. I'll sort that out.
I want that dog racing fit.
Get it here on a regular basis.
Leave it to me.
And I'll keep the kid sweet.
Don't let me down, Claude.
That dog will be carrying real money
on the night, profit for me.
And you, Claude.
Did he have to suspend him?
Well you know Blaketon.
He likes to play things by the book.
Any idea who might have set him up?
No, not yet.
We need to trace that minivan.
Oi!
I know that woman from somewhere.
Back in a minute.
Who is she?
Never you mind.
Who are those two with
Greengrass, George?
I don't know the woman.
Debbie, I think Greengrass called her.
But the bloke though,
is summat else.
Jack Scarman, property developer.
Should I know him?
You would if you cross him in business
or hung around at dog-tracks.
The duty log for night patrols, Alf.
Aye?
Wednesday 23rd. Three weeks ago.
What about it?
Well I'm out on relief
and Phil was supposed
to meet me at the
Marshall Street call box.
He was 15 minutes late.
So?
So
it says here, he was on time.
Your writing, Alf.
Oh, come on, Nick. We've all
covered for a mate in our time.
Yeah, but covered what for him?
It happened again the
night of the robbery.
Same time, same location.
You covered for that, didn't you?
Okay. I thought there was
a bird involved, didn't I?
Is her name Debbie?
He never said, and I never asked.
Well, I will.
What? Speak to him
while he's on suspension?
What if Blaketon finds out?
You can cover for me.
You're good at that, aren't you?
Mr. Parrish?
Up here, Doctor!
How are you feeling?
Not too bad now.
But last night Oh!
I need to ask you a few questions.
Do you feel up to it?
Fire away.
All right. Is this the first time
you've tried your hand at farming?
Fwah! I'd hardly call fattening
up a few calves farming, Doctor.
Yes, but did you ever spend a lot of
time on a farm before you came here?
No. Town born and bred, me.
I want to take a blood
sample, Mr. Parrish.
As soon as the labs check it,
we'll know for sure.
Know what?
The cause of your illness.
And in the meantime, I want you to stay
away from the barns and the animals.
Not even go in and see Jimbo?
Until we get the results
of the blood test, best not.
- Enjoying your holiday?
- Nick!
Well, some people have all the luck.
Blaketon will have your
head on a plate for this.
'I was out for a drink and guess
who I bumped into, Sarge.'
- Do you want a drink?
- No thanks.
You sure?
Phil, you got any thoughts on
who might have set you up?
Could be anybody.
We don't make many
friends in this job, do we?
Where were you when
the break-in happened?
You weren't on your beat, were you?
Has Alf been talking?
He didn't have to.
It's obvious you were missing.
Does Blaketon know?
No, not yet. But he ain't stupid.
The minute he checks
Yeah, well, I'll deal with
that when it happens.
Were you with Debbie?
Out of order, Nick.
But this wouldn't be the first time
a good looking woman was
used to set a copper up, Phil.
Debbie wouldn't.
It's personal, Nick.
End of story, all right?
If she had you looking the other
way when that break-in happens,
that makes it's official.
- So where do I find her?
- Forget it!
Suit yourself.
I'll have a word with Scarman.
She is his bird, isn't she?
Nick, wait!
Sorry, mate. You were right.
Come on.
Scarman's got her scared, Nick.
And if he finds out, and he would
you know, if this goes public,
can you imagine
what he'll do to her.
Is he violent?
No, with him it's all in his head.
He gets others to do his nasty bits.
But I've checked him out.
He's got no form of any kind.
Scarman stays this side of the law
in business at any rate.
But he's ruthless.
Just like he is with his women.
How did you get involved
in all this, Phil?
Found Debbie outside her house
one night, she was in a right state.
She tried leaving him and got
knocked about for her trouble.
- By Scarman?
- No. By one of his dodgy mates.
Anyway, I kept an eye on her.
One thing led to another.
Playing Sir Galahad while on duty.
You were asking for it, weren't you?
Still, one thing about all this.
It gives us someone with a
motive to want to do you.
Scarman doesn't know
anything about it.
I mean I only saw
Debbie late at night.
Well these things
get known, don't they?
If he did know, what
would he do about it?
He'd definitely go for Debbie.
Yeah, right.
After settling with you first, mate.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Morning, Kate.
Hello. I've just got the report
back on Mr. Parrish's blood test.
On what test?
To check for allergic reaction.
Oh, yes?
Well, what about it?
It's not chronic bronchitis.
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis.
It's caused by
Are you accusing me of misdiagnosing
Mr. Parrish's illness?
No, of course not.
You weren't to know.
Just teaching me
my job, is that it?
No, Alex. The disease has only
recently been identified.
Something called Farmer's Lung,
caused by fungus pores in mouldy hay.
I see.
Sorry, Kate.
You couldn't possibly have known.
At the very least, I should have
known it wasn't bronchitis.
If I hadn't read the article,
I'd have missed it too.
But you didn't.
And I did.
Well done, Kate.
- Miss Chapman?
- Yes?
PC Rowan, Aidensfield Police.
I'm pursuing enquiries about a break-in
at the pawnbrokers up the road.
What's that got to do with me?
Well I can't answer that.
But it's got everything
to do with Phil Bellamy.
It's all right. He knows I'm here.
You'd better come in.
I don't know what you
want to hear, Mr. Rowan.
Just asking you to
consider the possibility
that Jack Scarman knew
about you and Phil?
But he doesn't know!
Someone set Phil up and
I reckon it was Scarman.
You'll never pin that on Jack.
Well, likes to box
clever, doesn't he?
You know, swim through the muck
and come up smelling of roses.
If he did want to do Phil,
how would he go about it?
Jack?
Use the same bloke he
set on me, I supposed.
Do you do know who he is?
Don't want to know, do I?
Phil put himself
on the line for you.
He's past the age
of consent, isn't he?
This business could destroy
his career if it's not cleared up.
If Jack is behind it,
there is a bloke he'd use.
He's a bit older than Phil and
fancies himself as a right tough guy.
At least where women are concerned.
So you know who he is?
Yeah. I've met him.
Jack had him pressure me
when I wanted to leave.
How?
Knocking me about.
That's how I met Phil, when this
character had almost run me over.
What's his name?
I only know him as Eddie.
He didn't exactly introduce himself.
Really fancies himself though.
Drives a souped-up minivan.
So now we're looking for a minivan
with a souped-up engine.
Every witness I spoke to said it kicked
up a racket when it was driven off.
Yeah. Faulty exhaust.
Well, that's what I thought.
But according to this Debbie,
he's got a souped-up engine.
I don't see how it helps.
Well, we can't go round looking into the
bonnet of every minivan in the country.
Yes, it's a minivan.
Dark green bodywork.
With a Cooper engine?
Could be.
Hang about.
It's this Farmer's Lung,
then, is it?
Yes.
Will I get better?
If we've caught it early enough,
and I think we have.
But you'll have to stay
away from hay and straw.
But what about my calves?
Any kind of animal farming
is out of the question.
Well, I can't stay out
here unless I'm earning.
Well, I can only advise you.
But if you want to get better,
you'll have to have someone
else to look after the animals.
I can't afford that!
It was a bit of a dream, you know.
Having a place like this.
After I retired.
I'm sorry.
But your health must
come first, Mr. Parrish.
Morning, David!
Oh, Dr. Rowan!
Keeping busy?
Yeah. Bringing Jimbo up
to Mr. Greengrass house.
Helping to train greyhounds
but don't tell my granddad.
I didn't know Mr. Greengrass
kept greyhounds.
They're not his. Mr. Scarman's dogs.
Mr. Scarman's?
Looks like well paid work.
I'll say. Mr. Greengrass has
been really generous about it.
Fishfingers?
I like fishfingers.
Good.
Nick, I'm a bit worried
about David Parrish.
He's working for Greengrass and he
doesn't want his grandfather to know.
Why?
Apparently, Mr. Parrish was one
of the best greyhound trainers
in the country before he came up here.
Now Greengrass is using Jimbo,
Mr. Parrish's greyhound to help
train up someone else's dog.
Whose dog?
Jack Scarman's.
I thought that might interest you!
Hello, Claude.
Frightened the life out of me!
How's your luck been lately?
Well, you know, up and down,
mostly in the middle.
What, even on the dog tracks?
(CHOKES)
You all right?
It's gone down the wrong hole!
I hear you've been helping
out Jack Scarman.
Well, a bit of business, that's all.
He's a you know, he's acquaintance.
I'm looking for a friend of his.
Young bloke, about thirtyish.
Drives a souped-up minivan.
- Has he got a name?
- No name.
Better get him baptised then.
Come on, Claude.
Look, I'm just helping
Scarman out, that's all.
I don't know about the people
who works for him, do I?
I mean, it's none of my business.
And nor was greyhound racing mine.
Until maybe now.
See you, Claude.
David!
I've just had the village
constable on the phone, David.
Oh what, what for?
A chat about you and Mr. Greengrass.
And how it might concern Jimbo.
I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
Mr. Greengrass said not
to bother you about it.
Don't worry.
I know my own grandson.
More to the point, I know the ways
of some the greyhound world.
What do you mean?
First tell me what's been happening.
And I mean, everything.
Edward Mooney.
You what?
That vehicle's registered
to one Edward Mooney.
There's an address in Leeds.
It's probably out of date.
Right. I won't be long.
Where are you going?
If anyone asks,
you can cover for me.
PINKY AND PERKY ON TV
KNOCK AT DOOR
- Hello, Phil.
- What are you doing here?
Can I come in?
What if Blaketon hears?
He won't.
Here.
Ta.
You broadening your mind?
Well?
Have you heard of
an Eddie Mooney?
Eddie Mooney.
Can't say I have. Why?
Well, we think we found the van,
it's registered in his name.
It wasn't a noisy exhaust,
it's got a souped-up engine.
Oh, do we know where he lives?
No, but we've found the garage he uses,
so hopefully we'll find him soon.
Good.
Yes, don't you go wandering off this
afternoon. You stay by the phone!
What, and miss this?
TANNOY: 'Results of race one.'
'Winner - Number 3, High Society.'
'Second - Number 5, Prince.'
ENGINE ROARS
You go and get a cup of tea.
You'll look after Jimbo?
Oh, don't you worry about that.
He'll be all right with me and Alfred.
Right. I'll see you
after the big race then.
Oh. What kept you?
I came back as quick as I could.
Well, I've just had a call for police
at Maddleskirk's dog track.
The van's there, and so is
Mooney, they reckoned.
Have you told Blaketon?
Not yet, no.
He's out at the moment.
When he's back, tell him I've gone
over there to deal with it, alright?
Phil, it's me. Listen. Get yourself over
to the Maddleskirk's dog track.
I'll meet you in the car park. Yeah.
Alright. I'll see you then.
Thanks, Alf.
You left a message.
What kept you?
Visiting my auntie in Leeds, right.
Hello, gorgeous.
Missed me, have you?
Not very friendly to
your mates, is she?
She's still learning. Here.
Get weaving.
Georgy Porgy, Trap 6.
- Next!
- Northern Flash.
Northern Flash.
Times today at 29.40.
Running in the Maddleskirk
Trophy race.
Owner J. Scarman, right?
Right.
Northern Flash. Trap 1.
- Thanks.
- Next!
You stay there.
In, in! Go on! Go on! Go on!
Are you sure Jimbo
will be all right?
Just take it easy, son.
They're playing my game now.
We'll see who plays it best.
This is the one.
I want that basket, Nick.
Take it easy, Phil.
Come on, let's go and get him.
He's probably gonna be with Scarman.
Scarman's here today?
He's got a dog running
in the big race.
TANNOY: 'Results of Race 2.'
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
Rembrandt couldn't
have done a better job.
Their own mothers wouldn't
know 'em apart.
- How's it going out there?
- We're on, next race. Trap 1.
Aye, not a bad draw. Right. I'd
better get the brass sorted out.
How much are you having on?
As much as I can get.
You crazy sod.
Yeah well, reap while the sun shine.
Give the bookies a thumping
while you're doing it.
I'm gonna have a mingle.
Look after Alfred for me, will you?
Yeah.
- Are you all right?
- Fine.
Scarman's not tried anything, has he?
No. At least not yet.
It's what he did to you!
I can deal with that.
It's you I'm worried about.
Don't worry. I'm working on it.
We're looking for a friend of Scarman's.
Eddie Mooney. Is he here?
He's here all right.
Over there, in black.
Watch yourself with him.
He's a bloody odd case, that one.
I'd better get back.
- Take care, Phil.
- And you.
We'll move in behind him.
I don't want him to see us, alright?
And Phil this is a police arrest,
not the gunfight at the Okay Corral.
Come on.
Yeah, what do you want?
This your dog tied up here?
Yes.
Well, it was. Where is it?
He went that way.
Oh, bloody hell!
- Alfred!
- Alfred!
We hope to hear him swear,
we love to hear him squeak
We like to see him biting
fingers in his horny beak
Sometimes he wants to
whistle through his nose
Whilst peeling off a
peanut with his toes
If Johnny Morris had
him on his show
You'd hear the Fuhrer's
favourite say 'Hello'.

You're no good, you're no good,
you're no good. Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again.
You're no good, you're no good,
you're no good. Baby, you're no good. ♪
You! Car park!
- Eddie Mooney?
- What?
Gerrout!
You're nicked, mate!
No good blaming me, Jack.
You're not the only one who's
lost money, you know.
I've done my brains.
You dozy dozy!
A dead ringer, eh? Couldn't fail.
What happened?
I wouldn't trust that Wilfred
as far as I could chuck him.
He's so bent, he can't
lie straight in bed.
I bet he's been taking dropsy
from the bookmakers.
Mr. Scarman! This ain't Jimbo, boss.
Look!
It's our own bloody
useless Northern Flash!
No. Wait on!
Greengrass!
Jack, don't! Don't! Jack!
I'm going to teach you a lesson!
Don't! Don't, please! No!
THUDS AND SHOUTS
No, lads! My war wound!
Look what's just blown in.
Alf, Nick.
Blaketon called me over.
Must be something to do
with his friend Eddie.
Yeah.
And the rest of the pawnbroker's
stuff we found stashed in his place.
I'm in the clear then?
Well, Mooney confessed
to fitting you up.
Claimed he had a
grudge against you.
I thought Scarman
put him up to it.
Well he did.
But if it came out why he did, then
his pride goes straight out the window.
What with the thrashing he took
at the dogs, Debbie legging it
Scarman had better days.
Ah Bellamy.
I've just been in consultation
with our superiors at Division.
In view of Mooney's confession
you're back on duty.
So let's see your face down
here first thing in the morning.
Now hop it! Can't have you distracting
the work of these constables here.
- Sarge.
- Yes?
Thanks.
And I do mean first thing!
Well it's obvious Mooney's
taking the rap for Scarman
not that we could
ever prove it, mind.
Bit of a mystery, though, why Scarman
would want to nobble Bellamy.
But then, what would life be like
without its little mysteries?
Pint of usual.
Hello, David.
- Dr. Rowan.
- Mr. Parrish!
Here, I've decided
to take your advice.
You know, pack it in here.
I think that's very wise.
I'm going to live
with David's family.
Well, you must be pleased, David.
Huh, you bet!
Well, when one dream fails,
time to try another.
Eh, Dr. Rowan?
And what's that?
A trip to Gallipoli.
A last look-in on my old
army mates in the cemetery.
Got any more good tips
then for us, Claude?
Next time you do a bit of ringing,
make sure it's the church bells.
