Heartbeat
Why do you miss when
my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss
stay in my memory? ♪
Right, today we're getting things
for our collage at school.
So we need some pine cones
and we need some leaves
from the deciduous trees.
Now, we all remember
what those are, don't we?
What is a deciduous tree?
You don't remember. Who can
tell her what a deciduous tree is?
Right, I want everybody over here!
Quickly as possible.
Quickly! No talking.
Quickly!
Heather and James,
stay where you are!
What the hell do you think
you're doing, woman?
Can't you see I've got a
class of children here?!
This is private property.
Get out of here!
Get back to the hunt, Gillies.
You lot shouldn't have split up.
This is Lord Ashfordly's estate.
She shouldn't be here.
This isn't the time to argue!
Now, get back to the hunt.
You haven't heard the last of this!
Come on!
I'm very sorry if
you were frightened.
Children were in danger!
Well, you shouldn't really be here
without Lord Ashfordly's consent.
This is private land.
Well I didn't realize.
There aren't any notices or fences!
Who was that?
Oh, that's Walter Gillies,
Lord Ashfordly's estate manager.
Well, anyway. Good day.
How's it looking?
With Ashfordly doubling
the rent, it won't balance.
I'm no accountant.
Even I can see it can't be done.
So what are we gonna do?
We'll have to seriously think
about closing the pub.
What? You can't do that!
You must have missed something.
Let me have a look.

Girl! Dick-a-dum-dum ♪
You sound worse than him!
Hellfire! What's gone wrong here?
George is jacking it in?
I don't believe it.
Well, he might have to.
Well, this is what I call a crisis!
Seems like all hands to the pump.
See what we can do
to lift his profits, eh?
Well, at last, a good cause that
I can get enthusiastic about!
Here, sarge! Have you heard?
George Ward thinking of giving
up the Aidensfield Arms.
Will you be applying for
the vacancy, Ventress?
No, sarge.
Don't count on it.
Rowan, I've just heard.
There's been some horses
loose up on your patch,
belonging to Mr. Ruane.
Now he's rounded them up,
but have a word with him
on your way home, will you?
Yes, sarge.
We don't want mayhem on
the roads again now, do we?
No, sarge.
Blaketon in?
Ah, there you are.
Listen sergeant, I have to
report some lunatic teacher
disrupting the hunt this morning.
In what way, Mr. Gillies?
Oh, she was trespassing
on the estate
with a bunch of kids
from Aidensfield school.
Could have been a nasty accident.
Sort it out, okay?
Do you like me to go up and
read the riot act, sarge?
Much as I am tempted to send
you back to school, Bellamy,
I think Aidensfield
is down to Rowan.
I'll go straight away, sarge.
Maybellene:
Chuck Berry
Maybellene,
why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene,
why can't you be true
You done started doing
the things you used to do
As I was motivating
over the hill
I saw Maybellene
in a Coupe de Ville
A Cadillac a-rolling
on the open road
That's him.
That's who?
That's him. That's Uncle Claude.
Hello, Uncle Claude.
Norman!
And just when I was thinking
things couldn't get any worse!
You got a problem?
I have now.
What are you doing here?
You've got a flat tyre.
Have I? Oh, yes! So I have.
How very observant
of you to notice!
Can we help?
This is Uncle Claude.
Mighty pleased to make
your acquaintance, sir!
Jeb's American,
he's in the air force.
You know Norman, sometimes your grasp
of the situation leaves me gasping.
Are you going to change it then?
I've already thought
of that, haven't I.
The flaming spare's no good either.
I've got a new tube at
home if I can get there.
Can we give you a lift?
Very kind of you.
Alfred!
Well, hello. Is this a social call
or do you want to take over?
Police business, I'm afraid.
What's wrong?
We've got a complaint.
Complaint?
From a Walter Gillies.
Who?
Oh, the ignorant
oaf from the hunt.
Well, he was very upset.
I'll give him upset!
I only just managed to get my class
away from the horses in time.
Yeah. Well, you best keep
off the Ashfordly estate.
They get a bit feudal
during hunting season.
You're telling me!
Be careful, Mary.
Are you free tonight?
Sorry?
Are you doing anything tonight?
That depends. What's on offer?
Well, the local pub looks
like closing down
unless we help
boost their profits.
Fancy doing your bit
for the community?
All right, then.
Shall I pick you up
about 9 o'clock?
Holly Cottage, Waindale.
- Yeah, I know.
- Do you now?!
- Mary's hurt herself, miss.
- Mary, will you be careful!
What does he actually do?
He's a quartermaster
at Fylingdales.
He's a very clever man, is Jeb.
He's my new business partner.
That sounds like a bit of a
contradiction to me, Norman.
- Eh?
- Don't let it bother you.
He's got a mate who flies
stuff over from America.
Lovely. He hasn't got any
inner tubes, has he?
No, but he's got records, jeans
Oh, records and jeans.
You'll have to save me some of them.
- Booze
- Now you are talking!
I sell the stuff on.
It's easiest money I've ever made.
I see you've made
yourself at home.
Would you like to take
a drink with me, sir?
What have you got?
Bourbon. You ever tasted it?
Not for a long time.
I'll let you remind me.
Norman, your uncle is a
man after my own heart.
Did you tell him
about our proposition?
Ah, well I were just coming to that.
Why don't one of you tell me ?
We're in the import business,
your nephew and myself.
He did mention that.
I'm billeted in a small
house in Whitby.
Business is booming.
I need more storage space.
Well, I can sort that out for you
but you'd have to pay a rent.
Of course, Mr. Greengrass.
Would you prefer dollars
or pounds sterling?
Either or both,
so long as it's cash.
Would you like another, sir?
I'd like to see somebody
try and stop me.
Check 'em over, Annie.
Hello, Nick.
Morning, Bill.
I'm glad to see you've
got them back in.
Sgt Blaketon's had a call.
They miss nowt, do they!
Somebody must have
opened that gate.
- Who'd do that?
- Oh, I dunno. Kids? Hikers?
I'll be keeping an eye out.
I can't afford anything
else to go wrong.
Not the way things
are at the moment.
Bad, is it?
I've got three of Lord Ashfordly's
horses here at livery.
Hasn't paid his bills for months.
I tell you if it weren't for Annie
I'd have jacked it in by now.
Tell Blaketon I'm sorry.
It won't happen again.
Yeah, all right, Bill. See you.
DUSTY SPRINGFIELD:
I Only Want To Be With You
I don't know what it is
that makes me love you so
I only know I never
want to let you go
'Cos you've started something
Now, can't you see
That ever since we met
you've had a hold on me?
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you ♪
Da da da da ♪
KNOCK AT DOOR
- Nick?
- Yeah?
RECORD PLAYER OFF
Sorry, I'm not ready.
Come in. I'll be two seconds.
Sorry about the mess.
I'm usually so tired after school,
I just collapse in front of the TV.
How did you get this place?
It's my mum and
dad's holiday cottage.
So where do they live?
York.
I'm ready?
Yeah. Sorry, I'm just
looking at the photos.
Shall we go, then?
Yeah.
The thing is, this place has stood
still too long. It's in a time warp.
You need food to
get more people in.
We do pies and sandwiches.
Proper food.
Chicken in a basket,
scampi and chips
Oh, and how am I going to do that?
You've got a kitchen.
Yeah, we've got no equipment.
Ah! What about music nights?
We've tried that.
What? The same night each week?
You've not tried that, have you?
See, you've got to advertise it.
Posters, put it in the paper.
You see, at the end
of the day, that
- Evening.
- Hi Nick.
What are you all drinking?

You're a dark horse, Nick!
We're just good friends.
How long's it been going on?
I don't know what you're
talking about, mate.
Nick. It's Blaketon.
I hear you crossed swords
with our Mr. Gillies.
You could say that.
Where does he get his airs
and graces from anyway?
Comes with the job, I supposed.
Working with aristocracy,
living on the Ashfordly Estate.
And rubbing shoulders
with the hunting fraternity.
You don't approve, I take it?
The unspeakable
pursuit of the uneatable.
- Do you ride?
- I used to have my own pony.
I want to start again.
But I need to find a stable.
I know someone who
owns a riding stable.
I could take you
up there tomorrow.
- That would be great.
- Cheers, Phil.
Phil, there's been some intruders
seen up at Shepherds' Cottage.
He asked me to go up there.
You want me to go with you?
Yeah, cheers, mate.
- Sorry about this.
- That's all right.
I can give her a lift home
if you are not back by closing time.
Thanks.
We won't be long.
You stay there, Alf.
It seems quiet enough.
I'll check the front door.
I'll go round the back.
The window's howling
wind into your ear
You listen to the
spirits far behind
There's things you hear
are too much for your mind ♪
Aaaaagh!
Phil?
Are you all right?
Yeah. Get him. Go on!
Uncle Claude! Uncle Claude!
Shut yer rattle!
You want the whole of Yorkshire
to know our business?
Good morning Mr. Greengrass, sir.
You must be joking.
We've got a delivery for you.
I've not any time to
clear any space yet.
That's all right, Norm will do it.
Will I? Right.
In to the workshop.
Will you join me, sir?
Can I duck? Come in.
I can't believe this has happened.
Was he still in the house
when you got here?
Yeah. He thumped Phil Bellamy.
Is he okay?
Yeah, he'll be all right.
Now, do you know
exactly what's missing?
The clock was the
most valuable piece.
His anniversary present.
Costs £200.
Anything else?
My jewellery box.
Had a few family rings in it.
Candlesticks.
Six. They were solid silver.
Oh!
His snuff boxes have gone!
Martin's a collector.
How many were there?
I don't know.
You'll have to ask him.
I'll phone him.
All the good stuff, Nick!
Whatever it was, they've got what
they wanted. They won't be back.
It's the thought of
somebody being here,
going through all your things.
I'm sorry.
Oh, don't worry.
When you've checked everything,
make a list of all the missing items
and a list of all casual
callers to the cottage.
Do you think we'll see
any of our stuff again?
With the list,
there's always a chance.
How about this, Mr. Greengrass?
- Not really my style.
- No?
You'll have to sew two of 'em
together to fit round him,
won't you, Uncle Claude!
You're auditioning for
a thump round the end.
I mean, where are you
gonna get rid of this lot?
Boutiques in Leeds, Darlington, York.
They all want 'em.
I know what you like,
Mr. Greengrass.
How about that, that suit you?
That's more like it, hey!
I hope you don't think
this is in lieu of rent!
It's a present.
A thank you!
Is it? Well, thank you.
You look as though
you need a hand.
I'm fine Oh!
Thanks.
Maggie's taking me up
to Ruane's riding stables.
Do you know him?
Yeah, he's a nice man.
Look, I just came to say
sorry about last night.
That's okay.
Do I get another chance?
Maybe!
Doing anything tonight?
No.
How about dinner at my place?
Oh, you can cook too?
No, Eileen's making a casserole.
Will she mind if I come?
I don't see why she should.
There's my lift.
Okay. What time?
About 7:00. And you can see
Katie before she goes to sleep.
Okay.
I'll see you tonight.
You got to be careful, you two.
People will be gossiping!
It will give them something
worthwhile to talk about!
Ready when you are!
Now, George.
Give us a Scotch and
a packet of crisps.
That'll be three and seven.
Stick it on the slate.
- Not any more.
- What?
New policy, Claude.
No pay, no drink.
Pint, when you're ready, George.
So, how's things up your way?
I'm on my own at the moment.
Ashfordly's had it.
He's got rid of the cook, the
gardener, his precious butler.
I'll be next.
He'll bump me off the estate
so he can sell his cottage.
Does that mean you'll
be leaving Aidensfield?
I hope not.
I'm thinking of buying
my own place.
Here we are.
Thanks, George.
George! George.
Can I have a word?
'Scuse me a minute.
Yes, Claude?
You found some money?
No, not exactly.
- I've told you what the crack is!
- I know.
But I might have a bit of a proposition
that will be to your advantage.
And mine.
Are you still going to
the concert tonight?
I'd like to.
Is there a problem?
No. No, I just thought I
might invite someone over.
Oh, I see.
I was going to ask Jo Weston.
- The new teacher?
- Yeah.
What a good idea!
So, it's okay, then?
Of course it is.
Great!
What am I going to do?
I've got nine horses to feed here!
I'm sorry, Bill.
There's only enough left
for a couple of days.
The boss said,
"No money, no fodder".
But I'll be able to settle
up with you soon.
I've always been straight.
Come on, man,
what's wrong with you?
Can't do it.
Not even two bags?
I'd lose my job.
It won't be the first time a
couple of bags have gone astray!
- Dad.
- Get your hand off my door, Bill!
Dad, come away!
There's other places I can go to!
Have we come at a bad time, Bill?
Maggie, I'm sorry.
A slight difference of opinion.
Oh! Annie, this is Jo Weston.
- Hi.
- Hello.
We met the other day,
when I was trespassing!
I remember.
It's good to see somebody
stand up to Walter Gillies.
You'll be riding with me today.
I'm very rusty.
Oh, don't worry. You've got
medical assistance at hand, Jo!
Thanks for the
encouragement, Maggie!
I've got a quiet one for
you first time round.
Good!
Annie knows all the
best rides around here.
- Right. I'm ready when you are!
- This way.
What was the row about, Bill?
Oh, he wouldn't leave me any fodder.
People don't pay their bills,
so I can't pay mine.
I'm at my wits' end, Maggie.
Another week like this, and
we've had it.
Where was the burglary, sarge?
Cheers, Phil.
"Jamiesons, Lea Cottage."
Over at Scawsby.
They found it when they got back
from their holiday this morning.
Much been taken?
"Antique, silver, cutlery, a clock."
They knew what they wanted.
It's beginning to
sound familiar, sarge.
We're on our way back now. Out.
That's something I've
always wanted to do.
I applied for the
mounted division.
Really?
Ah!
Good grief!
I thought we'd had it then.
Wretched animal!
Are you all right?
Yes. No thanks to
that animal, though.
I'll go and fetch him.
Any idea who it belongs to?
It looks like one of Bill Ruane's.
Don't know what's
wrong with the man.
He let the place go to pot.
Bill Ruane, eh?
This time, I'll talk
to the man myself!
Well, look who's here!
Hello, Gina.
Two pints of your very best, please.
What brings you back
here then, Norman?
Well, we've got a bit of
business in the area.
This is Jeb.
- Hiya.
- Good to meet you, Gina.
You're not from round here.
Neither are you.
Liverpool.
Most famous accent in the world.
Is that right?
Do you know any of the Beatles?
Not personally, no.
Pity.
Will you join us for a drink?
Yeah. I'll have a
babycham then, please.
So what sort of business
are you in then, Jeb?
Oh, we're selling records, garments.
All genuine original American
products, like me.
What kind of garments?
Norman, go fetch
me a leather coat.
I want to see what Gina
looks like in a leather coat.
I can't afford all of that!
Who said anything about paying?
Go on, Norman!
Gina's just the kind of advertising
we need to promote these things,
what do you say?
Annie!
What is it?
There's summat in this feed.
What?
I don't know.
What the hell's happened here?
Summat's knocked it over.
Summat or somebody.
Problems, Mr. Ruane?
More like a disaster!
There's turps seeped
into our only feed.
I'm going to have
to chuck the lot.
Well, I'll give you
another disaster.
One of your horses on
the public highway again.
This time, leaping out in
front of a police vehicle!
Well it can't be one of mine.
Only checked 'em an hour ago.
They're all in, all secure.
Evidently not! That horse of yours
could have caused a nasty accident.
And if anything like this happens
again, you'll be prosecuted.
Well I managed to catch him for you
before he caused any more trouble.
Thanks, Walter.
I checked that gate.
Somebody must have
let him out on purpose.
No, surely not.
And there's turps in
the last of my feed.
Well You sound in a bad way.
Summat's wrong.
I don't understand why these
things keep happening.
Your daughter's very young.
It's a lot to be going on with.
Annie? Won't be her fault.
She's sound as a pound.
Well, this takes a
lot of keeping up.
Maybe you should sell after all.
Told you before Walter,
I won't not selling.
It's Annie's future, this.
Okay. See you.
French clock.
Canteen of cutlery, 78 pieces.
Eighteenth-century
solid silver teapot.
Looks like they checked
the place out beforehand.
Same as the Shepherds' break-in.
I reckoned there's a local
connection to all this.
What about the list of
callers to each cottage?
Well, Greengrass
is common to both.
It wasn't him that thump me!
Peg-sellers. Fishmongers.
Tourist looking for relative.
Well, whoever he is,
he might still be in the area.
I think we should warn
some of the bigger houses.
Rowan, call in on Lord Ashfordly.
Right, sarge.
Mr. Gillies?
Constable Rowan.
What can I do for you?
Is Lord Ashfordly here?
The whole family's in London.
Any staff about?
Staff?!
I'm the only one up here now.
Got rid of the rest. Economies.
There's been a couple
of burglaries in the area.
They're after antiques.
What sort of things?
Well, silver mainly.
Candlesticks, cutlery.
Thanks for the warning.
Just make sure you keep your doors
and windows locked, Mr. Gillies.
She's a beautiful baby.
Yeah. She gets it from her mum.
Eileen, do you want a glass
of wine before you go?
No, thanks.
My lift's just arrived.
Thanks for cooking supper.
Bye.
Are you there, George?
I brought your first delivery.
You owe me two quid.
I'll take it off your slate.
Thank you very much.
This isn't whisky.
It's bourbon.
It's American whiskey.
Who's going to drink that?
Me, for a start!
Pour me a big 'un.
I'll have it in place of
the delivery charge.
What delivery charge?
The one that would be on the
invoice if I've given you one.
Come on. Get pouring.
So what made you choose
Aidensfield Primary?
I was offered the job.
It's not your first, though, is it?
No. I just felt like it
was time to move on.
I don't like cities.
I'm a country girl at heart.
What else do you want to know?
Boyfriends?
Sorry, I didn't mean this
to be an interrogation!
PHONE RINGS
I'll pour while you answer.
Aidensfield Police.
When?
Is he still there?
Okay. I'll be up as soon as I can.
Right.
There's been a break-in
at Ashfordly Hall.
I'm really sorry about this
but I've got to go out there.
But what about Katie?
Um Yeah. I'll phone Maggie.
She usually helps
out in emergencies.
It's all right.
I'll stay and babysit.
- You sure?
- Of course.
Why don't you take my car.
Right. Yeah. Um Yeah!
I'll try not to be too long.
Are you all right?
Not exactly, no.
I tried to run after him,
but I couldn't catch him.
Did you see who it was?
No, he's wearing a mask!
Has he taken anything?
I should think so, yes!
Which way did he go?
I don't know! He hit me
pretty hard. I'm still dazed.
I can't believe I'm doing this!
Neither can I.
What fat are you using?
- Dripping.
- Good.
When are the chickens coming?
He promised me ten o'clock.
Plucked?
Well I flippin' well hope so!
How are you feeling this
morning, Mr. Gillies?
I'm all right, apart from my head.
Have you remembered anything
else about last night?
Well, not really.
No-one unusual hanging
around the place?
No.
Oh, there's an old Bedford van
parked up the top of the drive.
It was maroon, I think,
with a green canvas back.
Did you see who was in it?
No. We get a lot of courting
couples up this way.
I don't like to disturb them.
We'd better follow
it up just in case.
Yes, well, I've got the
inventory for you here.
Yesterday afternoon
Yes, what time?
- How are you getting on, Ventress?
- Sshh!
I'm sorry. A carriage clock.
Right. Thank you, Mr. Black.
Thank you for your help.
Well, there's nothing from
the local pawnbrokers.
But Mr. Black of Whitby
says that Bill Ruane pawned a
carriage clock yesterday afternoon.
Bingo!
What are you two doing here?
Gillies remembered
seeing a Bedford van
parked near Ashfordly
Hall last night, sarge.
And Bill Ruane's got one.
- Is he in?
- No, sarge.
Well, Ruane pawned an antique
clock in Whitby yesterday.
Matches the description
of one from the burglaries.
So, we'd better take a look around.
Bellamy, you start in
that stable over there.
Morning.
Summat wrong?
Is your dad about, Annie?
Gone to fetch some feed.
What's wrong?
We think there might be some
stolen property on the premises.
What's going on?
Sarge!
Candlesticks, trophies.
All silverware.
Ruane, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of burglary!
I've no idea where it's come from!
This is Lord Ashfordly's property.
And it was found tucked
away in one of your barns.
I've never seen any
of this stuff before.
You go to Ashfordly Hall,
don't you?
Not to dinner, no!
Don't try to be smart
with me, Ruane.
I've done nowt wrong!
Really?
Then, tell me about this antique clock
that you pawned in Whitby yesterday!
It's a family heirloom.
You can prove that, can you?
Have a receipt?
It belonged to my wife.
You're short of money, aren't you?
Finding it difficult to pay
your bills, aren't you?
It's common knowledge, Bill.
You don't think this is
anything to do with me, Nick?
It's me you have to
convince, Ruane!
And it looks as if in order to extricate
yourself from your financial mire,
you've been paying little
visits to local houses
in the middle of the night.
What?
The Shepherds, the Jamiesons
and Lord Ashfordly.
I'm right, aren't I?
Help me, Nick!
This isn't down to me.
CAR HORN
What's happening?
Oh, he's being held on suspicion
of the Ashfordly Hall job.
I can't believe it.
What do you think?
I can't see Bill doing it, myself.
Poor Annie.
Is there nothing we can do?
Well, not at the moment.
Officially I'm off duty.
Shall I see you at
the pub for lunch?
All right, then.
- 21!
- Here!
- 22!
- Over here.
- What number are we?
- 33.
- Get me some crisps.
- 23!
Here he is.
Make that two, please, George.
- Packet of crisps, George.
- Help yourself.
What's he doing back in
these necks of the woods?
He's importing leather jackets.
- Yeah?
- He gave one to Gina.
- You've got a rival, eh?
- Hey!
- Well, look who's here!
- 24!
Right, what are you drinking?
Gin and tonic, please.
What, bourbon? I've not
seen that in here before.
I'll have one of those, please.
- Hiya. Are you eating?
- Yes, please.
- What about you, Nick?
- No, thanks. Oh, Gina!
What's this about a secret admirer
giving you a leather jacket?
Who's been telling tales?
I'll have a word with him later.
Is he here?
Yeah. He's over there with Claude.
Norman! That wasn't him,
it was his partner.
He's a real hunk. American!
You two found my antiques yet?
- We're working on it.
- Mmm. So I see!
Sue, that list of callers
you gave us.
What about it?
Wasn't there someone
looking for a lost relative?
Mmmm. It was an American.
- We're leaving.
- Why?
Because I say so. Come on.
- Where are you off to?
- Sorry?
You're not walking out
on me again, are you?
No.
What is it?
Oh, it's nothing. It'll keep.
Alright Norman.
What's in these?
Are they import or export?
Export? I think you missed
that bit out, didn't you?
Did I? Well er
Ah, Santa Barbara.
Yeah, export.
Open it up.
No. No, I can't do
that, Uncle Claude.
Oh yes you can. Get it opened!
What's this, then?
It's just a little sideline.
Jeb's very interested in antiques.
Didn't I tell you?
Strangely enough, no.
He travels all over.
Yes. He's even been
to the Jamiesons'.
Where's that, then?
The Jamiesons live at Lea Cottage!
That is where I've seen this.
She gets her eggs off me.
Well, he buys off
individuals as well.
You've landed me right
in it this time, Norman.
I don't get you.
The Jamiesons were
burgled two night ago!
And this was taken!
I don't know anything
about it, honest!
You don't get it, do you?
Rowan is on to you!
I want this lot shifted.
I want it shifted now.
Get it in my lorry
and get it out of here.
Jeb's meeting me here at 2:00!
Oh, no, he isn't!
What am I going to do,
Uncle Claude?
I suggest you emigrate!

What's going on, Claude?
What you on about?
Where's Norman?
He's gone. He took my lorry
and all and just cleared out.
Where?
I don't know.
So where did you get the
bourbon you sold George?
Norman! Norman give me it!
Well, it was imported illegally.
You're in trouble, Claude.
Well, he told me lies about it, then.
There's been three
burglaries in the area.
They're all checked out beforehand.
They all had a visit from
an American tourist
and they all had a visit from you.
Got nothing to do with me.
I were just selling eggs.
Well then, tell me where Norman
and his American friend are?
Come on, Norman. Get a move on!
Hang on!

They're just down the
end of that lane, sarge.
Right. We'll do a pincer movement.

Oh, yeah
Got you!
Right! Let's get them
down the station.
I'd like to speak to my
commanding officer about this.
All in good time.
Now, you don't deny
committing these offences?
Why should I?
As a guest in your country,
I want to co-operate with
you guys any way I can.
Now the first break-in
was at Shepherds Cottage.
You took jewellery and a wall clock.
A very fine piece, sir.
And you attacked
one of my officers.
Sorry about that.
And next night, you
broke into the Jamiesons'.
Yeah. I was after some cutlery.
I knew they had some good stuff.
Tell us about your accomplices.
I was working alone.
What about Norman?
I was in a different
business with Norman.
Records, leather jackets.
And what about Mr. Greengrass?
My good friend Claude Jeremiah
is entirely innocent.
Greengrass is many things
but not even his mother
would describe him as innocent.
So what about Ashfordly Hall?
I haven't been there.
You broke in last night.
Not me.
I mean, I might have got round to it,
but so far, just the two jobs!
Immunity?
Because he's with the US Air Force.
He's got to be joking!
If what that Yank
says is true, Rowan,
it means your friend Ruane,
is finally in the frame
for the Ashfordly Hall job.
- I still can't see it, sarge.
- Why not?
He's desperate for money.
He's heard about
the recent burglaries.
He's done a copy-cat job.
But we now know the
clock that he pawned
didn't come from
one of the burglaries.
What difference does that make?
Well he's hardly going
to pawn his own clock
if he's planning a burglary
later that same evening.
A bit eccentric, I agree.
But what if someone else
put that stuff in the barn?
Someone who wanted to set him up?
I've got the Camp CO on
the phone for you, sarge.
Right, I'll take it in my office.
Have another word
with Ruane, Rowan.
See if you can shed
a bit more light on it.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
I hear you've caught some Yank.
Yeah. He admitted the
first two burglaries
but not the one at Ashfordly Hall.
So I'm still being
blamed for it, am I?
Bill, can you think of anyone who
might have it in for you in any way?
No. I get on with everybody, me.
How about Walter Gillies?
You know what Walter's like.
He just rubs people up the wrong way.
No!
He's offered to buy the
stables off me the other day.
He wants to move?
He's got to, hasn't he?
Ashfordly's given him notice.
Well, I'm sure you do have your own
way of dealing with things like this.
But this is England and
we have a legal process.
Yes, well, you do that!
In the meantime, he stays
here under lock and key.
They want us to hand him back
so they can deal with it.
Over my dead body.
Walter Gillies, sarge.
Yes, what about him?
He's been given notice to
leave the Ashfordly Estate.
Tried to buy Bill Ruane's place
but got turned down.
So?
So what if Gillies decided
to used these robberies
to get Bill out of the stables?
Gillies?
He was injured trying
to stop the burglar.
It was only a bang
on the head, sarge.
Could've been self-inflicted.
And it was him that gave us
information about the Bedford van.
You're saying that
Gillies set Ruane up?
Can you prove it?
Mr. Gillies!
Oh! I was just trying to get
these incubators working.
So, you had any luck?
No, afraid not.
Bill Ruane was arrested on
suspicion, he's got an alibi.
Oh, I see.
Then we arrested an American
who admitted the first two burglaries
but not the one here at Ashfordly Hall.
Yes, well, he would, wouldn't he?
Oh, we believe him, Mr. Gillies.
Yeah, it doesn't quite
fit into his pattern.
So where does that leave you?
Well, it's down to
the heavy mob now.
- Heavy mob?
- CID.
They're coming over
from Whitby tomorrow.
Chief Constable's a close
friend of Lord Ashfordly.
You recovered any of his
Lordship's property yet?
Oh, we're still looking for it.
We think that once we find the loot,
we'll find the thief.
Evening, Mr. Gillies!
We'll take that.
You set me up.
Yeah, just like you set Bill up.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Save it for later, Gillies.
What have I ever done to you, eh?
Why me?
Yeah, all right, Bill.
Right, Bellamy, Rowan.
Put him in the car.
- Evening.
- Hiya, Nick.
Pint, please, Gina. Phil?
No, no.
Well, that's Gillies locked
up safe and sound!
Yup. Blaketon's already
crowing to Lord Ashfordly.
On your own tonight, Nick?
Yeah.
Never mind,
you can't win 'em all, eh?
Yeah. It's a pity, though.
I thought you'd cracked it there.
Still, plenty more fish in the sea.

Get out of here!
Get back to the hunt, Gillies.
You lot shouldn't have split up.
This is Lord Ashfordly's estate.
She shouldn't be here.
This isn't the time to argue!
Now, get back to the hunt.
You haven't heard the last of this!
Come on!
I'm very sorry if
you were frightened.
Children were in danger!
Well, you shouldn't really be here
without Lord Ashfordly's consent.
This is private land.
Well I didn't realize.
There aren't any notices or fences!
Who was that?
Oh, that's Walter Gillies,
Lord Ashfordly's estate manager.
Well, anyway. Good day.
How's it looking?
With Ashfordly doubling
the rent, it won't balance.
I'm no accountant.
Even I can see it can't be done.
So what are we gonna do?
We'll have to seriously think
about closing the pub.
What? You can't do that!

Do you know any of the Beatles?
Not personally, no.
Pity.
Will you join us for a drink?
Yeah. I'll have a
babycham then, please.
So what sort of business
are you in then, Jeb?
Oh, we're selling records, garments.
All genuine original American
products, like me.
What kind of garments?
Norman, go fetch
me a leather coat.
I want to see what Gina
looks like in a leather coat.
I can't afford all of that!
Who said anything about paying?
Go on, Norman!
Gina's just the kind of advertising
we need to promote these things,
what do you say?
Annie!
What is it?
There's summat in this feed.
What?
I don't know.
What the hell's happened here?
Summat's knocked it over.
Summat or somebody.
Problems, Mr. Ruane?
More like a disaster!
There's turps seeped
into our only feed.
I'm going to have
to chuck the lot.
Well, I'll give you
another disaster.
One of your horses on
the public highway again.
This time, leaping out in
front of a police vehicle!
Well it can't be one of mine.
Only checked 'em an hour ago.
They're all in, all secure.
Evidently not! That horse of yours
could have caused a nasty accident.
And if anything like this happens
again, you'll be prosecuted.
Well I managed to catch him for you
before he caused any more trouble.
Thanks, Walter.
I checked that gate.
Somebody must have
let him out on purpose.
No, surely not.
And there's turps in
the last of my feed.
Well You sound in a bad way.
Summat's wrong.
I don't understand why these
things keep happening.
Your daughter's very young.
It's a lot to be going on with.
Annie? Won't be her fault.
She's sound as a pound.
Well, this takes a
lot of keeping up.
Maybe you should sell after all.
Told you before Walter,
I won't not selling.
It's Annie's future, this.
Okay. See you.
French clock.
Canteen of cutlery, 78 pieces.
Eighteenth-century
solid silver teapot.
Looks like they checked
the place out beforehand.
Same as the Shepherds' break-in.
I reckoned there's a local
connection to all this.
What about the list of
callers to each cottage?
Well, Greengrass
is common to both.
It wasn't him that thump me!
Peg-sellers. Fishmongers.
Tourist looking for relative.
Well, whoever he is,
he might still be in the area.
I think we should warn
some of the bigger houses.
Rowan, call in on Lord Ashfordly.
Right, sarge.
Mr. Gillies?
Constable Rowan.
What can I do for you?
Is Lord Ashfordly here?
The whole family's in London.
Any staff about?
Staff?!
I'm the only one up here now.
Got rid of the rest. Economies.
There's been a couple
of burglaries in the area.
They're after antiques.
What sort of things?
Well, silver mainly.
Candlesticks, cutlery.
Thanks for the warning.
Just make sure you keep your doors
and windows locked, Mr. Gillies.
She's a beautiful baby.
Yeah. She gets it from her mum.
Eileen, do you want a glass
of wine before you go?
No, thanks.
My lift's just arrived.
Thanks for cooking supper.
Bye.
Are you there, George?
I brought your first delivery.
You owe me two quid.
I'll take it off your slate.
Thank you very much.
This isn't whisky.
It's bourbon.
It's American whiskey.
Who's going to drink that?
Me, for a start!
Pour me a big 'un.
I'll have it in place of
the delivery charge.
What delivery charge?
The one that would be on the
invoice if I've given you one.
Come on. Get pouring.
So what made you choose
Aidensfield Primary?
I was offered the job.
It's not your first, though, is it?
No. I just felt like it
was time to move on.
I don't like cities.
I'm a country girl at heart.
What else do you want to know?
Boyfriends?
Sorry, I didn't mean this
to be an interrogation!
PHONE RINGS
I'll pour while you answer.
Aidensfield Police.
When?
Is he still there?
Okay. I'll be up as soon as I can.
Right.
There's been a break-in
at Ashfordly Hall.
I'm really sorry about this
but I've got to go out there.
But what about Katie?
Um Yeah. I'll phone Maggie.
She usually helps
out in emergencies.
It's all right.
I'll stay and babysit.
- You sure?
- Of course.
Why don't you take my car.
Right. Yeah. Um Yeah!
I'll try not to be too long.
Are you all right?
Not exactly, no.
I tried to run after him,
but I couldn't catch him.
Did you see who it was?
No, he's wearing a mask!
Has he taken anything?
I should think so, yes!
Which way did he go?
I don't know! He hit me
pretty hard. I'm still dazed.
I can't believe I'm doing this!
Neither can I.
What fat are you using?
- Dripping.
- Good.
When are the chickens coming?
He promised me ten o'clock.
Plucked?
Well I flippin' well hope so!
How are you feeling this
morning, Mr. Gillies?
I'm all right, apart from my head.
Have you remembered anything
else about last night?
Well, not really.
No-one unusual hanging
around the place?
No.
Oh, there's an old Bedford van
parked up the top of the drive.
It was maroon, I think,
with a green canvas back.
Did you see who was in it?
No. We get a lot of courting
couples up this way.
I don't like to disturb them.
We'd better follow
it up just in case.
Yes, well, I've got the
inventory for you here.
Yesterday afternoon
Yes, what time?
- How are you getting on, Ventress?
- Sshh!
I'm sorry. A carriage clock.
Right. Thank you, Mr. Black.
Thank you for your help.
Well, there's nothing from
the local pawnbrokers.
But Mr. Black of Whitby
says that Bill Ruane pawned a
carriage clock yesterday afternoon.
Bingo!
What are you two doing here?
Gillies remembered
seeing a Bedford van
parked near Ashfordly
Hall last night, sarge.
And Bill Ruane's got one.
- Is he in?
- No, sarge.
Well, Ruane pawned an antique
clock in Whitby yesterday.
Matches the description
of one from the burglaries.
So, we'd better take a look around.
Bellamy, you start in
that stable over there.
Morning.
Summat wrong?
Is your dad about, Annie?
Gone to fetch some feed.
What's wrong?
We think there might be some
stolen property on the premises.
What's going on?
Sarge!
Candlesticks, trophies.
All silverware.
Ruane, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of burglary!
I've no idea where it's come from!
This is Lord Ashfordly's property.
And it was found tucked
away in one of your barns.
I've never seen any
of this stuff before.
You go to Ashfordly Hall,
don't you?
Not to dinner, no!
Don't try to be smart
with me, Ruane.
I've done nowt wrong!
Really?
Then, tell me about this antique clock
that you pawned in Whitby yesterday!
It's a family heirloom.
You can prove that, can you?
Have a receipt?
It belonged to my wife.
You're short of money, aren't you?
Finding it difficult to pay
your bills, aren't you?
It's common knowledge, Bill.
You don't think this is
anything to do with me, Nick?
It's me you have to
convince, Ruane!
And it looks as if in order to extricate
yourself from your financial mire,
you've been paying little
visits to local houses
in the middle of the night.
What?
The Shepherds, the Jamiesons
and Lord Ashfordly.
I'm right, aren't I?
Help me, Nick!
This isn't down to me.
CAR HORN
What's happening?
Oh, he's being held on suspicion
of the Ashfordly Hall job.
I can't believe it.
What do you think?
I can't see Bill doing it, myself.
Poor Annie.
Is there nothing we can do?
Well, not at the moment.
Officially I'm off duty.
Shall I see you at
the pub for lunch?
All right, then.
- 21!
- Here!
- 22!
- Over here.
- What number are we?
- 33.
- Get me some crisps.
- 23!
Here he is.
Make that two, please, George.
- Packet of crisps, George.
- Help yourself.
What's he doing back in
these necks of the woods?
He's importing leather jackets.
- Yeah?
- He gave one to Gina.
- You've got a rival, eh?
- Hey!
- Well, look who's here!
- 24!
Right, what are you drinking?
Gin and tonic, please.
What, bourbon? I've not
seen that in here before.
I'll have one of those, please.
- Hiya. Are you eating?
- Yes, please.
- What about you, Nick?
- No, thanks. Oh, Gina!
What's this about a secret admirer
giving you a leather jacket?
Who's been telling tales?
I'll have a word with him later.
Is he here?
Yeah. He's over there with Claude.
Norman! That wasn't him,
it was his partner.
He's a real hunk. American!
You two found my antiques yet?
- We're working on it.
- Mmm. So I see!
Sue, that list of callers
you gave us.
What about it?
Wasn't there someone
looking for a lost relative?
Mmmm. It was an American.
- We're leaving.
- Why?
Because I say so. Come on.
- Where are you off to?
- Sorry?
You're not walking out
on me again, are you?
No.
What is it?
Oh, it's nothing. It'll keep.
Alright Norman.
What's in these?
Are they import or export?
Export? I think you missed
that bit out, didn't you?
Did I? Well er
Ah, Santa Barbara.
Yeah, export.
Open it up.
No. No, I can't do
that, Uncle Claude.
Oh yes you can. Get it opened!
What's this, then?
It's just a little sideline.
Jeb's very interested in antiques.
Didn't I tell you?
Strangely enough, no.
He travels all over.
Yes. He's even been
to the Jamiesons'.
Where's that, then?
The Jamiesons live at Lea Cottage!
That is where I've seen this.
She gets her eggs off me.
Well, he buys off
individuals as well.
You've landed me right
in it this time, Norman.
I don't get you.
The Jamiesons were
burgled two night ago!
And this was taken!
I don't know anything
about it, honest!
You don't get it, do you?
Rowan is on to you!
I want this lot shifted.
I want it shifted now.
Get it in my lorry
and get it out of here.
Jeb's meeting me here at 2:00!
Oh, no, he isn't!
What am I going to do,
Uncle Claude?
I suggest you emigrate!
DION: The Wanderer

Yeah, a wanderer ♪
What's going on, Claude?
What you on about?
Where's Norman?
He's gone. He took my lorry
and all and just cleared out.
Where?
I don't know.
So where did you get the
bourbon you sold George?
Norman! Norman give me it!
Well, it was imported illegally.
You're in trouble, Claude.
Well, he told me lies about it, then.
There's been three
burglaries in the area.
They're all checked out beforehand.
They all had a visit from
an American tourist
and they all had a visit from you.
Got nothing to do with me.
I were just selling eggs.
Well then, tell me where Norman
and his American friend are?
Come on, Norman. Get a move on!
Hang on!
CAR ENGINE
They're just down the
end of that lane, sarge.
Right. We'll do a pincer movement.
You two get round the back of them.
Bellamy, on the left.
Rowan, on the right.
We'll give you two minutes,
then we'll come in.
(Right, go!)
THE KINKS: You Really Got Me

This is the police!
Stop where you are!
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't
know what I'm doin'
Oh, yeah
Got you!
Right! Let's get them
down the station.
I'd like to speak to my
commanding officer about this.
All in good time.
Now, you don't deny
committing these offences?
Why should I?
As a guest in your country,
I want to co-operate with
you guys any way I can.
Now the first break-in
was at Shepherds Cottage.
You took jewellery and a wall clock.
A very fine piece, sir.
And you attacked
one of my officers.
Sorry about that.
And next night, you
broke into the Jamiesons'.
Yeah. I was after some cutlery.
I knew they had some good stuff.
Tell us about your accomplices.
I was working alone.
What about Norman?
I was in a different
business with Norman.
Records, leather jackets.
And what about Mr. Greengrass?
My good friend Claude Jeremiah
is entirely innocent.
Greengrass is many things
but not even his mother
would describe him as innocent.
So what about Ashfordly Hall?
I haven't been there.
You broke in last night.
Not me.
I mean, I might have got round to it,
but so far, just the two jobs!
Immunity?
Because he's with the US Air Force.
He's got to be joking!
If what that Yank
says is true, Rowan,
it means your friend Ruane,
is finally in the frame
for the Ashfordly Hall job.
- I still can't see it, sarge.
- Why not?
He's desperate for money.
He's heard about
the recent burglaries.
He's done a copy-cat job.
But we now know the
clock that he pawned
didn't come from
one of the burglaries.
What difference does that make?
Well he's hardly going
to pawn his own clock
if he's planning a burglary
later that same evening.
A bit eccentric, I agree.
But what if someone else
put that stuff in the barn?
Someone who wanted to set him up?
I've got the Camp CO on
the phone for you, sarge.
Right, I'll take it in my office.
Have another word
with Ruane, Rowan.
See if you can shed
a bit more light on it.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
I hear you've caught some Yank.
Yeah. He admitted the
first two burglaries
but not the one at Ashfordly Hall.
So I'm still being
blamed for it, am I?
Bill, can you think of anyone who
might have it in for you in any way?
No. I get on with everybody, me.
How about Walter Gillies?
You know what Walter's like.
He just rubs people up the wrong way.
No!
He's offered to buy the
stables off me the other day.
He wants to move?
He's got to, hasn't he?
Ashfordly's given him notice.
Well, I'm sure you do have your own
way of dealing with things like this.
But this is England and
we have a legal process.
Yes, well, you do that!
In the meantime, he stays
here under lock and key.
They want us to hand him back
so they can deal with it.
Over my dead body.
Walter Gillies, sarge.
Yes, what about him?
He's been given notice to
leave the Ashfordly Estate.
Tried to buy Bill Ruane's place
but got turned down.
So?
So what if Gillies decided
to used these robberies
to get Bill out of the stables?
Gillies?
He was injured trying
to stop the burglar.
It was only a bang
on the head, sarge.
Could've been self-inflicted.
And it was him that gave us
information about the Bedford van.
You're saying that
Gillies set Ruane up?
Can you prove it?
Mr. Gillies!
Oh! I was just trying to get
these incubators working.
So, you had any luck?
No, afraid not.
Bill Ruane was arrested on
suspicion, he's got an alibi.
Oh, I see.
Then we arrested an American
who admitted the first two burglaries
but not the one here at Ashfordly Hall.
Yes, well, he would, wouldn't he?
Oh, we believe him, Mr. Gillies.
Yeah, it doesn't quite
fit into his pattern.
So where does that leave you?
Well, it's down to
the heavy mob now.
- Heavy mob?
- CID.
They're coming over
from Whitby tomorrow.
Chief Constable's a close
friend of Lord Ashfordly.
You recovered any of his
Lordship's property yet?
Oh, we're still looking for it.
We think that once we find the loot,
we'll find the thief.
Evening, Mr. Gillies!
We'll take that.
You set me up.
Yeah, just like you set Bill up.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Save it for later, Gillies.
What have I ever done to you, eh?
Why me?
Yeah, all right, Bill.
Right, Bellamy, Rowan.
Put him in the car.
- Evening.
- Hiya, Nick.
Pint, please, Gina. Phil?
No, no.
Well, that's Gillies locked
up safe and sound!
Yup. Blaketon's already
crowing to Lord Ashfordly.
On your own tonight, Nick?
Yeah.
Never mind,
you can't win 'em all, eh?
Yeah. It's a pity, though.
I thought you'd cracked it there.
Still, plenty more fish in the sea.
