Heartbeat
Why do you miss when
my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss
stay in my memory? ♪
THE BEATLES:
If I Needed Someone
Come on, Philip,
put your back into it!
Why don't you hop up here
and give us a hand, then?
Hey! I'll give you hop up
Here we go!
Yes, coming through!
If I had some
more time to spend
Then I guess I'll be
with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day
Then it might not
have been like this
Can't you see how
I'm too much in love
Today's the big day,
then, Mrs. Bellamy?
Yes. Yes, it is.
About time, too.
Want to give us a lift?
20, 25, 30, 35,
40, 45, 50.
Thanks very much.
If I had some
more time to spend
Then I guess I'll be
with you my friend
If I needed someone
Had you come some other day then
It might not have been like this
Can't you see now
I'm too much in love
Carve your number on my wall and
Hey!
If I needed someone
Mind the step.
"Control to Delta Alpha 2-4".
"Control to Delta Alpha 2-4.
Can you hear me, Nick?"
"Delta Alpha 2-4, receiving."
There's been another handbag snatch
in the High Streets. Outside Hornes.
Can you get there
as soon as possible?
Don't know a good thing when
you see it, that's your trouble.
Ah! The wanderer returns.
Finished all your personal
business, Bellamy?
Yes, thank you, sarge.
Good. In case you haven't heard,
this morning we had
another bag snatch
- and I
(DOOR OPENS)
Well?
Well, just like last time, sarge.
No-one saw a thing.
Well, I want you, Bellamy, to go
through these regional crime reports
and see if anything similar
has cropped up anywhere else.
I want times, dates,
places, suspects.
And if you can stop stuffing your
face for five minutes, Ventress,
let's have your great mind on
this problem, too, shall we?
BELL
Yes, madam?
I've come to have a
look at Philip's office.
- Philip's office?
- Oo.
Look at him!
In't he a great big lad!
I can't think why he's not
courting, though. Can you?
Two bob a head for a funeral tea?
Well, he not going to get
much of a send-off for that!
(SIGHS) Okay, Miss Braithwaite.
Ya, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Ta-ra.
What on earth is that?
Don't worry,
it's dead and it's stuffed.
And I'm giving you first refusal.
Are you?
Well, you're getting it.
Why, do you want it?
Oh, what am I supposed
to do with it?
Oi! You can hang it outside,
change your name of
your pub to The Fleece.
You get instant publicity.
Claude
I'm only asking five quid for it.
It stinks!
Well, of course it does.
It's a little bit damp.
I tell you, it will soon dry out.
Look, seeing as it's you,
you can have it for four.
Take it out.
You know your trouble?
You've got no sense of adventure.
- I'll take three.
- Out!
I mean you can dismantle it,
use it as a rug.
Claude, out.
And a bath wouldn't do
you any harm, either.
So, when did your dad phone?
When I got home from school.
He's made her promise to go back
again to the doctor tomorrow.
I feel as if it's all my fault.
Well, it's not.
Migraines can be caused by anything.
Yeah, it was funny how they only
started when we got engaged.
Just wait and see what
the doctor has to says.
Gina?
Shampoo and set?!
This mangy old thing?
Why not? You do the same
thing with your bodies.
Where did it come from, anyroad?
House clearance,
Arnie Braithwaite's.
That were quick.
He hasn't been buried yet!
I thought the sale wasn't
till after the funeral.
No, they asked me to go
and get rid of the rubbish.
It seemed a bit silly really,
chucking old Larry on the bonfire.
He's got to be worth
a few quid, ain't it.
What do you think?
Do you want to be half in?
Hmm.
Shall I take that as a yes?
I suppose so.
Good lad. I'll see you
at the funeral, alright.
This thing's got fleas!
So have you now!
You found anything yet?
Mmm.
Pickering had five handbag
snatches back in October,
Whitby had three in December.
And?
Well, all the victims seem
to be middle-aged women
who'd just drawn
money out of a bank.
Sounds like the same bloke, then.
Or blokes.
Two men spotted
running from the scene.
Stopped and questioned
Nothing found, no charge.
Any names?
Robert Broadbent and Ian Murray.
Duster Murray, from Maltby?
We don't want him on our
patch and that's for sure!
What are you doing?!
Give me my bag!
No! Stop! Stop!
£50, Constable.
£50!
I'd just taken it out of the
bank to buy a new suite.
All my husband's overtime money.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Jackson.
If you could just give us
a description of the man?
Well, he was medium build.
He had staring blue eyes
and he was wearing a hat.
I'd know him again,
I can tell you that!
Right.
Here you are.
Thanks.
I'm sure Dr. McMillan
thinks I'm piling it on.
Of course he doesn't.
It's not my eyesight, Graham.
All the same,
it's worth checking.
Let me see the letter.
Shall I ring the optician now?
No, no, I'll do it.
We need an early appointment.
Graham, please.
I said I'll do it.
You get on back to the office.
See you at six, then.
Graham?
Don't phone Joanna.
I don't want her involved in this.
This is barmy, this is.
We were nowhere near.
In which case, we won't need
to keep you long, will we?
- This way, please.
- Get off.
In fact Mr, Murray,
there's only one problem, really.
The description of the man who
stole the bag fits you like a glove.
And as for you, I strongly
advise you to co-operate.
Bellamy, take him
inside, sit him down
and have a little chat.
Come on.
Ventress, Mrs. Jackson was sure
she could identify Murray, was she?
- Oh, positive, sarge.
- Good.
Well, let's get an identity
parade organised.
Fast.
I'll ask you again, Mr. Broadbent.
You and Murray were seen
together in Ashfordly this morning.
What were you doing?
Come on.
Whatever happens,
we're going to charge you.
So what's the point of making
life difficult for yourself?
It wasn't me.
It was Duster.
Who is it?
It's PC Rowan, Mrs. Jackson,
about your handbag.
Can I come in a minute?
My husband told me not to
open the door to anyone.
Not after what's happened.
Oh, we've got two suspects
down at the station.
We wondered if you'd come
in for an identity parade.
Well, this is more like it, Ventress.
You'll be please to hear that
one of our little beauties
has just sung like a canary.
Nothing to do with him, mind.
'All the other man.'
Hmm. Sell his own grandmother,
scum like him.
So with his statement
and the identity parade
I think we're home and dry.
Mrs. Jackson won't do it, sarge.
I've just spent half an hour at
her doorstep, she won't budge.
Her husband doesn't want to
press charges in case of reprisals.
Well, that's it.
If she won't identify them,
we've got no evidence.
We have.
We've got Broadbent's.
That's no good.
Yeah, but we know he did it.
I've got it in writing,
with his signature.
He told me Murray done it.
The evidence of an accomplice
is no good in court
not unless it's corroborated.
So even though we know he did it,
we're going to let him go?
Aye.
I don't believe this!
I thought you boys
needed feeding up a bit.
Bellamy!
They look nice.
Just keep your relatives
under control, will you?
This is a police station,
not a social club.
Rowan, tell that pair in
there they're free to go.
This is the life, Philip, eh?
Yeah.
Gran, listen.
Thanks for bringing in
the cakes and everything.
Ooh, it's a pleasure!
I'll bring some every day,
if you like.
What I'm trying to say, is
Well, it's lovely having
you live so near.
- It is for me, an' all.
- But, er
You must stop popping
into the police station.
It's not me, it's Sergeant Blaketon.
He doesn't like it.
There's no reply.
Well, don't worry. They've
probably popped out or something.
Dad promised to ring the minute
they got back from the doctors.
Come and have your supper, Jo.
If there was any news,
they'd been in touch.
I suppose so.
Is that nice?
So, Oscar's put his
foot down, has he?
Yeah. Phil had to tell his gran
not to come in any more.
Oh, she was so enjoying
being able to pop in.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
Who on earth's that?
Are you t'local policeman?
Yes.
We're trying to trace a
Mr. Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.
Hello, Mrs. Bellamy.
How are you settling in?
It's grand, thanks.
But I can't stop, because
I'm on urgent business.
Oh, yes?
I've been a very foolish old woman
and I've got to make amends.
But I'm not telling you
any more, because
It's a secret.
Hey!
Give it!
What do you think you're doing?
(SCREAMS)
(CAR APPROACHING AT SPEED)
Gran!
Why did nobody tell me?
I didn't know till I got here.
Who done it?
I found these.
I'll ruddy well kill 'em!
Phil, we don't even know
if it's the same men.
Of course it was.
They could be anywhere.
Shut up and keep your eyes peeled.
Oi!
Now walk.
We've got nothing to hide.
What are we supposed
to have done this time?
You've only put a frail
old lady in hospital!
- Take it easy, Phil.
- Oh, yeah?
You stand still, sir, please.
Come on, Red.
Let the big policeman search you.
And not so much lip.
Right, good lad.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
Just a minute.
Claude Jeremiah Greengrass?
He he'she's gone out.
We've come for Father's sheep.
Sheep?
- We know you've got it.
- And we want it back.
You don't mean that old thing that
were put out for rubbish, do you?
That old thing, Mr. Greengrass,
was our Father's prize ram.
It sired nearly a 1,000 lambs.
Is it? Well, at least
it died happy, then.
Don't try to be funny.
Just tell us where it is.
I I've sold it.
To an antique dealer.
Where?
In York. Yeah, Denton's
Denton's of York.
This is getting monotonous.
Right. Search them again
before you take 'em through.
Hold on
Well, well, well.
And what do we have here?
Do you recognise this, Bellamy?
It's my gran's, sarge.
What's going on?
You searched us in the street.
It wasn't there then
and you know it.
Ventress, take them
down to the cells.
- That was never in my pocket!
- Duster!
Good job lads. Now we found this.
Let them squawk all they like.
We've got 'em!
Phil?
Okay, I know what you're going to say.
But I'm doing that.
I want those two locked
up properly this time.
Before they beat up
any more old ladies.
And I want you to
change your notebook.
You what?
You didn't find the purse
with the handbag, right?
And we didn't search
them on the street.
Where are you going?
To the hospital, of course.
She's my gran, Nick.
You've got to do this for me.
Bit of luck finding
that purse, wasn't it?
Yes.
Yes, it was.
Don't worry yourself, Gran.
It were all meant for you, Phil.
What was?
The money.
I drew it out of the post
office to give you.
I wanted you to buy a nice
little flat and settle down.
How much did you take out?
Everything.
What do you mean, everything?
All my savings.
I don't need them, do I?
How much was in your handbag?
£600.
I'm sorry to turn up like this,
but I was seeing a client in the area.
No, no, I'm glad you came.
What did the doctor say about Mum?
He told her to see an optician.
- An optician?
- Yeah.
She went this morning, but there's
nothing wrong with her eyes.
He thinks she ought
to see a neurologist.
This is getting ridiculous.
First, an optician,
then a neurologist.
What on Earth do they
think's wrong with her?
I don't know.
Oh, don't look so worried, Dad.
The more I think about it,
the more I'm sure it
must be down to stress.
If only you and your mother
could get back on speaking terms.
I have tried, Dad.
I know, I know.
She's a stubborn woman.
But she does love you, Jo,
very much.
Will you try again?
Just for me.
I was to have t'bureau.
Arnold said so.
He may have said it, Auntie,
but until we find the will
you can't have it.
Speak up!
I said
Why have Norma and Joan
gone to York?
Ah?
Norma and Joan!
They don't deserve a penny!
Oh, Nick!
Dad's been round.
Has he?
He says Mum has to see a
neurologist. I mean, why?
Why would she need
to see a neurologist?
I'm sorry, Jo. I can't stop.
What?
Something's come up.
But I thought we were going out.
It's just that Dad's got
me really worried now.
Well, I've got to be
in court first thing.
I have to go through my notes.
See you tomorrow?
I suppose so.
I'm sorry.
Is anything wrong?
No No.
I don't mind telling you,
it was terrifying.
They come banging at the door and
they barged straight in the kitchen.
Go steady with it, it's valuable!
You're living in
cloud-cuckoo-land, Claude.
Oh, am I? Hey, why do they
want it back so badly then.
Why they go dashing
straight off to York?
All we've got to do is keep it
hidden till after the funeral.
How's that?
You could be the next Teasy Weasy.
(WHEEZES WITH LAUGHTER)
How is she?
Not very well.
They've just given her
something to make her sleep.
I've found out how much they took.
£600.
£600?!
Her whole life savings.
She got it out to give
to me to buy a flat.
It's practically my fault, in't it?
Of course it isn't, Phil.
She was so upset when I ticked her
off about coming in to the station.
- I think she was trying to say sorry.
- Phil
It really upsets me she's so poorly.
Phil
Look, I've got to go to court tomorrow
and tell them what happened.
That purse was never in his pocket.
You know it wasn't.
I searched him in the street.
He had nothing on him.
It was in his pocket at the station.
And you were in the
back of the car with him.
Come on, Phil, I'm not daft.
You're asking me to lie in court.
I don't think I can.
Then they'll get away with it.
It'll be like all the other times.
We know it's them and
we just can't prove it.
And they'll get away scot-free.
I can't lie under oath.
It's a white lie.
A white lie to get justice.
Stop being such a saint.
It happens all the time.
Well, not in my book, it doesn't.
Well, you're not living in
the real world, are you?
Do you know what would happen
to us if this ever got out?
We'd be out of the force faster than
that thing can touch the ground.
So you'd let an old lady lose
her life savings, would you?
And her whole life ruined.
You're not thinking straight.
I know she's your grandma.
Yeah, too right she's my gran!
And that's why I put the
purse in Murray's pocket.
Look, Phil
No, I'm sorry. There's such
a thing as loyalty, you know.
And there's such a
thing as the truth.
You're either for
me or against me.
You want to stand up in
court and shop a mate,
that's up to you.
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I shall give
shall be the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
PC Rowan,
you were, I believe,
the arresting officer?
Yes.
Perhaps you could tell the court in
your own words, what happened?
May he refer to his notes,
your Worships?
On Thursday, February 10th,
at 11:20 am,
I received a call to
attend a robbery
at The Old Almshouses,
Church Road, Ashfordly.
Constable Bellamy
was also in attendance.
When I arrived, the victim,
Mrs. Ethel Bellamy,
was already being looked
after by ambulancemen.
There seems to be
a lot of Bellamys.
Mrs. Bellamy is Constable
Bellamy's grandmother.
I understand. Carry on.
There were no witnesses,
but I found Mrs. Bellamy's handbag
lying on the pavement
across the road.
There was no money in it.
Constable Bellamy and
myself gave chase
and apprehended the two accused.
We took them to
Ashfordly police station,
where Mrs. Bellamy's empty purse was
found in Mr. Murray's jacket pocket.
Thank you, Constable.
I would just like to clarify
this business of the purse.
You see, I'm somewhat confused.
Are we talking about a handbag
or a purse that goes in a handbag?
A purse, sir.
The handbag was
found on the pavement.
I see. And the purse?
Well, just tell me again.
The er purse was found in
It was found in Mr. Murray's
pocket, like I said.
That's a lie!
He put it there!
Mr. Murray.
Now, if you can't keep quiet, you'll
be send back down to the cells.
You say you found the purse during
a search at the police station?
Yes, sir.
So you didn't search either men
when you caught up
with them in the street?
I didn't find the
purse then, sir, no.
Ah, well, that's not quite
what I asked, though, is it?
Did you or did you not
search the accused men
when you first found them?
Erm sorry, I don't remember.
Surely, after a robbery,
this would have been routine
procedure, would it not?
Yes, sir.
So, you must have, mustn't you?
Yes, sir.
So did you find the purse
in his pocket then then?
- I'm I'm not sure.
- You're not sure?
I'm sorry. My notes seemed
to be a bit muddled.
This only happened yesterday!
How can you possibly not be sure?
What's the matter
with you, Constable?
Did you have a late
night or something?
No, your Worships. I'm sorry.
We'll adjourn for five minutes,
while we wait for the constable
to get his notes in order.
Just answer me in a
word of one syllable.
Did you plant that purse
in Murray's pocket?
Did you?
You're a fool, Bellamy.
You're a stupid fool.
1:30 sharp at the parlour, Claude,
to help lift Mr. Braithwaite.
I'll be there if I've
got any back left.
You may step down from
the witness box, Constable.
Mr. Murray and Mr. Broadbent,
as the matter of the purse
cannot now be verified,
I'm dismissing the
charge against you
H-hey!
on the grounds of
insufficient evidence.
You may go.
We'll move on to case number
six on the list, please.
And another time,
Sergeant Blaketon,
the Bench will appreciate it
if it's time was not wasted on
ill-prepared police prosecutions!
Yes, sir.
(HOOTING)
It's all right, Mr. Greengrass,
we know you're there.
Oh, I were just
Hello.
There was no stuffed sheep in York.
Nor never had been.
So, where is it, Mr. Greengrass?
I told you
Rubbish!
I'm sorry, you must have
gone to the wrong shop.
- You're lying, Mr. Greengrass!
- Hey, steady!
You're lying!
I'm sorry, ladies,
I've got to get to the funeral.
Will you get off?!
Just get off!
Joan. Leave it.
We're not getting
anywhere like this.
I think it's time for
a change of tactics.
£600.
Found behind a
wall in Potters Lane.
Handed in by a
member of the public.
An honest citizen.
What you two did was despicable.
Sarge
Despicable, deceitful
and dishonourable.
It wasn't Nick, sarge.
If not for the fact that Rowan
fluffed it in the witness box
there would have been a
serious miscarriage of justice.
Do you understand?
BOTH: Yes, sarge.
Now police regulations demand
that I report this matter
immediately to the Superintendent.
I could have you two
kicked out of the Force.
As of now.
I'll speak to you later, Bellamy.
It was me.
Wasn't Nick.
He didn't want any part in it.
Get out!
Well..
I thought I knew you, Nick.
Ten years on the force,
just passed your sergeant's exams,
about to get married
You knew Bellamy had planted
that purse, didn't you?
Yes, sarge.
And you decided
to go along with it.
It wasn't
Did you or did you
not go along with it?
Yes, sarge.
Why?
Why throw your whole career away?
I didn't know what to do, sarge.
What you do, at all times,
is tell the truth.
In the police force,
and in life in general.
Otherwise, things have a
nasty habit of falling apart.
Like they are now.
I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed and disappointed.
Now get out of my sight.
What's going to happen, sarge?
Send Ventress in.
Alf?
What on earth's going on?
Nothing.
Sarge?
Well, you seem to be the only
sensible man I've got around here,
so we'll work on this together.
If we can't do 'em for Mrs. Bellamy,
we'll go back and we'll
try Mrs. Jackson again.
What did he say, Nick?
Is he going to report us or not?
I don't know.
For crying out loud,
Claude, I said 1:30!
Don't start. I couldn't help it!
Good Lord, they're here!
I've not even gotten
him in his box yet!
- What's this doing 'ere?
- Put that down.
They mustn't see this.
If you could help me
with Mr. Braithwaite.
Where is he?
Mr. Greengrass?
Put it in the cold store.
(BANGING)
Open this door!
Give us a hand.
Get his legs in.
Get 'em in! Get 'em in!
Mind mind yourself.
Let us in, Mr. Scripps!
Will you let us in!
I thought we were having
a viewing, Mr. Scripps.
Best not, sir.
Goodbye, Father.
Right sir, if you just like to take
the womenfolk to the cars?
Oh no! We're going to
carry him, Mr. Scripps.
It's the least we can do.
Gentlemen?
Come through, gentlemen.
Take the top end.
Ready?
Straighten up.
Turn to your right. That's grand.
He ain't heavy
He's my brother ♪
Well, they're getting
more violent, Mrs. Jackson.
The latest victim's an old lady of 80,
she was terrified out of her wits.
Now please, think again.
I am, Mr. Blaketon, I am.
But I don't want to get on
the wrong side of those men,
it's just not safe.
Well, none of us are safe,
are we, Mrs. Jackson?
Not with those
villains on the loose.
And you're the only person
to get a good look at them.
I only saw one man.
One would be enough.
CONGREGATION:
The Lord's my shepherd. I'll not want
I could throttle you,
Claude Greengrass.
What am I going to do
about Mr. Braithwaite?
I'll think of summat.
You'd better.
If this comes out, it'll be the
end of my funeral business.
You'll be responsible.
So, have you seen
this neurologist yet?
No.
I suppose your daddy
told you, did he?
Yes, he did.
Well, I think you've got
enough on your plate
without worrying about me.
Don't be silly, Mum.
If you're not well,
I want to know about it.
Come on, we haven't
spoken for weeks.
Can't we be friends again?
Cake or biscuits?
Mum, please! Just sit down a minute.
We've got to talk.
Ever since Nick and I got
engaged you've been like this.
I really really don't
want to quarrel.
You know what to do, then,
if you want us to be friends.
All right, then, I promise not to make
any wedding plans till you're better.
Does that help?
Your father and I did
our very best for you.
Mum, please!
Ballet lessons, piano lessons,
expensive schools, college.
And we did not expect all
that hard work and effort
to be thrown away
on a village bobby!
- Mum!
- No!
You asked me to talk,
so let me finish.
Nick is not the right man for you,
and that's all there is to it.
The right man would be
quite, quite different.
Nick is the right man for me!
I love him.
For a start, he'd have
decent job prospects
Nick's got decent job prospects!
A decent salary.
He'd talk properly
What?
And he'd have parents
I could bear to meet.
I am not staying to hear this.
And once you've got over
this stupid infatuation,
you'll see that I'm right.
Nick's a nice enough boy, but
mixed marriages do not work.
I don't believe you just said that.
He's not your sort, Jo.
And if you marry him
you'll be making the
biggest mistake of your life.
Ready, sarge.
There's no rush, Mrs. Jackson.
Just take your time.
Bellamy?
Door.
MRS JACKSON: (WHIMPERS)
Well done, Ventress.
Still no sign of the will, then?
No.
We've searched
high and low for it.
We think he died intestate.
Time to find Mr. Greengrass, Joan.
High time.
Apparently, he died intestate.
Eh?
Intestate!
Well, I'm still having t'bureau.
Well, it couldn't be better.
Robbery was good enough.
But now we can charge him
for assaulting a police officer.
He's in the cell, is he?
- Yes, sarge.
- Good.
Up before the Bench in the morning
and by this time tomorrow,
he'll be bang up on remand.
With a nice little custodial
sentence to follow.
So, we've got him, at last.
You two,
in my office,
tomorrow morning.
First thing.
Careful. You don't have to
stamp it down so hard!
He might want to come up now
and again, do a bit of haunting.
Oh, no!
Here. Here's a tenner.
Hop off out of it.
Go on, I'll finish this.
Look ladies, how many
times do I have to tell you?
I haven't got your flaming sheep!
What's going on?
Can you keep a secret,
Mr. Greengrass?
If there's a fee involved,
yeah, good.
Because we've found Father's will.
And there's money in it,
Father's little treasure trove.
In cash.
So if you tell us where the sheep is,
some of it will go to you.
Provided you keep your trap shut.
Shut? It'll be welded.
Where is it, then, this money?
Guess.
Well, just just
just leave it to me.
Well, that's Katie off.
When do you expect Jo back?
Erm.. I'm not sure.
Are you all right, Nick?
Yeah.
It's just that you seem rather,
I don't know, preoccupied.
No, I'm fine.
Is it about Jo and her mother?
No.
Because if it is,
I really wouldn't worry.
I wouldn't dream of
saying this in front of Jo,
but Mrs. Weston really does
sounds the most dreadful snob.
And I'm sure that's
at the root of it.
Eileen
Once she gets to
know you properly
Eileen.
I'm not worried about Jo's mum.
I've had a bad day, that's all.
Can I help?
It's about work.
I see.
I'm sorry.
I can't tell you any more.
Right.
And don't say anything to Jo.
She's got enough to worry about.
How was it?
Terrible! I really dislike
my mother sometimes.
Oh, hello!

Well, I'm off.
If I were you, Jo, I'd try and put all
those things your mother said to you
right out of your mind.
It's not that easy, Eileen.
When people are ill, they lash out.
I'm sure she didn't mean any of it.
Good night.
Night, Eileen.
Night.
Try not to worry.
Both of you.
It's all very well me
excusing Mum everything, but
Eileen didn't hear
what she said to me.
She's probably right, though.
It could be the headaches
that's making her so touchy.
Touchy! It's a lot more
than just touchy, Nick.
She was extremely offensive.
Well, I'm sure it'll sort itself out.
What's that supposed to mean?
What?
You're not listening
to anything I say!
- Of course I am.
- Well, you don't seemed to be.
You've been miles away
ever since I came in.
- No, I haven't.
- Yes, you have.
(PHONE RINGS)
I haven't.
Aidensfield Police.
Eh?!
Right. Yeah.
Okay.
That was the vicar.
He thinks he's seen grave robbers!
You're not having second thoughts,
are you Nick? About us?
Don't be silly.
You might have,
in the morning, though.
What?
Nothing.
Claude?
Ah. Nick!
I know this probably
looks a bit suspicious,
but there's a logical explanation.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Well, I'm waiting.
Oh, yeah, well,
it probably sounds a bit daft,
but what happened was that
I left this here when I were
digging a grave earlier. And then,
all of a sudden I remembered it,
so I thought I'd
better come and get it.
What, at this time of night?
Well, I thought somebody
might trip over it.
You needed it urgently, did you?
You're not up to anything,
are you, Claude?
Don't talk daft.
I wouldn't still be here, would I?
Hang on! Hang on,
there's summat here.
Give it to me.
(PANTS)
Hang on. What's this?
Hang on.
A farthing?!
There's summat written here.
"Greed has its own reward.
Divide it between you."
Right, Ventress.
Give that jacket a brush and
give those shoes a polish.
We're going to make a good impression
in that courtroom this morning
come what may.
My office.
So, what's going to
happen then, sarge?
Just this once,
and only because no
harm's been done,
I've decided to take
this matter no further.
Don't thank me, Rowan.
Thank your lucky stars.
And as for you, Bellamy,
words fail me.
I'm sorry.
Somebody handed it in, sarge.
Found it in the road.

There's been another handbag snatch
in the High Streets. Outside Hornes.
Can you get there
as soon as possible?
Don't know a good thing when
you see it, that's your trouble.
Ah! The wanderer returns.
Finished all your personal
business, Bellamy?
Yes, thank you, sarge.
Good. In case you haven't heard,
this morning we had
another bag snatch
- and I
(DOOR OPENS)
Well?
Well, just like last time, sarge.
No-one saw a thing.
Well, I want you, Bellamy, to go
through these regional crime reports
and see if anything similar
has cropped up anywhere else.
I want times, dates,
places, suspects.
And if you can stop stuffing your
face for five minutes, Ventress,
let's have your great mind on
this problem, too, shall we?
BELL
Yes, madam?
I've come to have a
look at Philip's office.
- Philip's office?
- Oo.
Look at him!
In't he a great big lad!
I can't think why he's not
courting, though. Can you?
Two bob a head for a funeral tea?
Well, he not going to get
much of a send-off for that!
(SIGHS) Okay, Miss Braithwaite.
Ya, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Ta-ra.
What on earth is that?
Don't worry,
it's dead and it's stuffed.
And I'm giving you first refusal.
Are you?
Well, you're getting it.
Why, do you want it?
Oh, what am I supposed
to do with it?
Oi! You can hang it outside,
change your name of
your pub to The Fleece.
You get instant publicity.
Claude
I'm only asking five quid for it.
It stinks!
Well, of course it does.
It's a little bit damp.
I tell you, it will soon dry out.
Look, seeing as it's you,
you can have it for four.
Take it out.
You know your trouble?
You've got no sense of adventure.
- I'll take three.
- Out!
I mean you can dismantle it,
use it as a rug.
Claude, out.
And a bath wouldn't do
you any harm, either.
So, when did your dad phone?
When I got home from school.
He's made her promise to go back
again to the doctor tomorrow.
I feel as if it's all my fault.
Well, it's not.
Migraines can be caused by anything.
Yeah, it was funny how they only
started when we got engaged.
Just wait and see what
the doctor has to says.
Gina?
Shampoo and set?!
This mangy old thing?
Why not? You do the same
thing with your bodies.
Where did it come from, anyroad?
House clearance,
Arnie Braithwaite's.
That were quick.
He hasn't been buried yet!
I thought the sale wasn't
till after the funeral.
No, they asked me to go
and get rid of the rubbish.
It seemed a bit silly really,
chucking old Larry on the bonfire.
He's got to be worth
a few quid, ain't it.
What do you think?
Do you want to be half in?
Hmm.
Shall I take that as a yes?
I suppose so.
Good lad. I'll see you
at the funeral, alright.
This thing's got fleas!
So have you now!
You found anything yet?
Mmm.
Pickering had five handbag
snatches back in October,
Whitby had three in December.
And?
Well, all the victims seem
to be middle-aged women
who'd just drawn
money out of a bank.
Sounds like the same bloke, then.
Or blokes.
Two men spotted
running from the scene.
Stopped and questioned
Nothing found, no charge.
Any names?
Robert Broadbent and Ian Murray.
Duster Murray, from Maltby?
We don't want him on our
patch and that's for sure!
What are you doing?!
Give me my bag!
No! Stop! Stop!
£50, Constable.
£50!
I'd just taken it out of the
bank to buy a new suite.
All my husband's overtime money.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Jackson.
If you could just give us
a description of the man?
Well, he was medium build.
He had staring blue eyes
and he was wearing a hat.
I'd know him again,
I can tell you that!
Right.
Here you are.
Thanks.
I'm sure Dr. McMillan
thinks I'm piling it on.
Of course he doesn't.
It's not my eyesight, Graham.
All the same,
it's worth checking.
Let me see the letter.
Shall I ring the optician now?
No, no, I'll do it.
We need an early appointment.
Graham, please.
I said I'll do it.
You get on back to the office.
See you at six, then.
Graham?
Don't phone Joanna.
I don't want her involved in this.
This is barmy, this is.
We were nowhere near.
In which case, we won't need
to keep you long, will we?
- This way, please.
- Get off.
In fact Mr, Murray,
there's only one problem, really.
The description of the man who
stole the bag fits you like a glove.
And as for you, I strongly
advise you to co-operate.
Bellamy, take him
inside, sit him down
and have a little chat.
Come on.
Ventress, Mrs. Jackson was sure
she could identify Murray, was she?
- Oh, positive, sarge.
- Good.
Well, let's get an identity
parade organised.
Fast.
I'll ask you again, Mr. Broadbent.
You and Murray were seen
together in Ashfordly this morning.
What were you doing?
Come on.
Whatever happens,
we're going to charge you.
So what's the point of making
life difficult for yourself?
It wasn't me.
It was Duster.
Who is it?
It's PC Rowan, Mrs. Jackson,
about your handbag.
Can I come in a minute?
My husband told me not to
open the door to anyone.
Not after what's happened.
Oh, we've got two suspects
down at the station.
We wondered if you'd come
in for an identity parade.
Well, this is more like it, Ventress.
You'll be please to hear that
one of our little beauties
has just sung like a canary.
Nothing to do with him, mind.
'All the other man.'
Hmm. Sell his own grandmother,
scum like him.
So with his statement
and the identity parade
I think we're home and dry.
Mrs. Jackson won't do it, sarge.
I've just spent half an hour at
her doorstep, she won't budge.
Her husband doesn't want to
press charges in case of reprisals.
Well, that's it.
If she won't identify them,
we've got no evidence.
We have.
We've got Broadbent's.
That's no good.
Yeah, but we know he did it.
I've got it in writing,
with his signature.
He told me Murray done it.
The evidence of an accomplice
is no good in court
not unless it's corroborated.
So even though we know he did it,
we're going to let him go?
Aye.
I don't believe this!
I thought you boys
needed feeding up a bit.
Bellamy!
They look nice.
Just keep your relatives
under control, will you?
This is a police station,
not a social club.
Rowan, tell that pair in
there they're free to go.
This is the life, Philip, eh?
Yeah.
Gran, listen.
Thanks for bringing in
the cakes and everything.
Ooh, it's a pleasure!
I'll bring some every day,
if you like.
What I'm trying to say, is
Well, it's lovely having
you live so near.
- It is for me, an' all.
- But, er
You must stop popping
into the police station.
It's not me, it's Sergeant Blaketon.
He doesn't like it.
There's no reply.
Well, don't worry. They've
probably popped out or something.
Dad promised to ring the minute
they got back from the doctors.
Come and have your supper, Jo.
If there was any news,
they'd been in touch.
I suppose so.
Is that nice?
So, Oscar's put his
foot down, has he?
Yeah. Phil had to tell his gran
not to come in any more.
Oh, she was so enjoying
being able to pop in.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
Who on earth's that?
Are you t'local policeman?
Yes.
We're trying to trace a
Mr. Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.
Hello, Mrs. Bellamy.
How are you settling in?
It's grand, thanks.
But I can't stop, because
I'm on urgent business.
Oh, yes?
I've been a very foolish old woman
and I've got to make amends.
But I'm not telling you
any more, because
It's a secret.
Hey!
Give it!
What do you think you're doing?
(SCREAMS)
(CAR APPROACHING AT SPEED)
Gran!
Why did nobody tell me?
I didn't know till I got here.
Who done it?
I found these.
I'll ruddy well kill 'em!
Phil, we don't even know
if it's the same men.
Of course it was.
They could be anywhere.
Shut up and keep your eyes peeled.
Oi!
Now walk.
We've got nothing to hide.
What are we supposed
to have done this time?
You've only put a frail
old lady in hospital!
- Take it easy, Phil.
- Oh, yeah?
You stand still, sir, please.
Come on, Red.
Let the big policeman search you.
And not so much lip.
Right, good lad.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
Just a minute.
Claude Jeremiah Greengrass?
He he'she's gone out.
We've come for Father's sheep.
Sheep?
- We know you've got it.
- And we want it back.
You don't mean that old thing that
were put out for rubbish, do you?
That old thing, Mr. Greengrass,
was our Father's prize ram.
It sired nearly a 1,000 lambs.
Is it? Well, at least
it died happy, then.
Don't try to be funny.
Just tell us where it is.
I I've sold it.
To an antique dealer.
Where?
In York. Yeah, Denton's
Denton's of York.
This is getting monotonous.
Right. Search them again
before you take 'em through.
Hold on
Well, well, well.
And what do we have here?
Do you recognise this, Bellamy?
It's my gran's, sarge.
What's going on?
You searched us in the street.
It wasn't there then
and you know it.
Ventress, take them
down to the cells.
- That was never in my pocket!
- Duster!
Good job lads. Now we found this.
Let them squawk all they like.
We've got 'em!
Phil?
Okay, I know what you're going to say.
But I'm doing that.
I want those two locked
up properly this time.
Before they beat up
any more old ladies.
And I want you to
change your notebook.
You what?
You didn't find the purse
with the handbag, right?
And we didn't search
them on the street.
Where are you going?
To the hospital, of course.
She's my gran, Nick.
You've got to do this for me.
Bit of luck finding
that purse, wasn't it?
Yes.
Yes, it was.
Don't worry yourself, Gran.
It were all meant for you, Phil.
What was?
The money.
I drew it out of the post
office to give you.
I wanted you to buy a nice
little flat and settle down.
How much did you take out?
Everything.
What do you mean, everything?
All my savings.
I don't need them, do I?
How much was in your handbag?
£600.
I'm sorry to turn up like this,
but I was seeing a client in the area.
No, no, I'm glad you came.
What did the doctor say about Mum?
He told her to see an optician.
- An optician?
- Yeah.
She went this morning, but there's
nothing wrong with her eyes.
He thinks she ought
to see a neurologist.
This is getting ridiculous.
First, an optician,
then a neurologist.
What on Earth do they
think's wrong with her?
I don't know.
Oh, don't look so worried, Dad.
The more I think about it,
the more I'm sure it
must be down to stress.
If only you and your mother
could get back on speaking terms.
I have tried, Dad.
I know, I know.
She's a stubborn woman.
But she does love you, Jo,
very much.
Will you try again?
Just for me.
I was to have t'bureau.
Arnold said so.
He may have said it, Auntie,
but until we find the will
you can't have it.
Speak up!
I said
Why have Norma and Joan
gone to York?
Ah?
Norma and Joan!
They don't deserve a penny!
Oh, Nick!
Dad's been round.
Has he?
He says Mum has to see a
neurologist. I mean, why?
Why would she need
to see a neurologist?
I'm sorry, Jo. I can't stop.
What?
Something's come up.
But I thought we were going out.
It's just that Dad's got
me really worried now.
Well, I've got to be
in court first thing.
I have to go through my notes.
See you tomorrow?
I suppose so.
I'm sorry.
Is anything wrong?
No No.
I don't mind telling you,
it was terrifying.
They come banging at the door and
they barged straight in the kitchen.
Go steady with it, it's valuable!
You're living in
cloud-cuckoo-land, Claude.
Oh, am I? Hey, why do they
want it back so badly then.
Why they go dashing
straight off to York?
All we've got to do is keep it
hidden till after the funeral.
How's that?
You could be the next Teasy Weasy.
(WHEEZES WITH LAUGHTER)
How is she?
Not very well.
They've just given her
something to make her sleep.
I've found out how much they took.
£600.
£600?!
Her whole life savings.
She got it out to give
to me to buy a flat.
It's practically my fault, in't it?
Of course it isn't, Phil.
She was so upset when I ticked her
off about coming in to the station.
- I think she was trying to say sorry.
- Phil
It really upsets me she's so poorly.
Phil
Look, I've got to go to court tomorrow
and tell them what happened.
That purse was never in his pocket.
You know it wasn't.
I searched him in the street.
He had nothing on him.
It was in his pocket at the station.
And you were in the
back of the car with him.
Come on, Phil, I'm not daft.
You're asking me to lie in court.
I don't think I can.
Then they'll get away with it.
It'll be like all the other times.
We know it's them and
we just can't prove it.
And they'll get away scot-free.
I can't lie under oath.
It's a white lie.
A white lie to get justice.
Stop being such a saint.
It happens all the time.
Well, not in my book, it doesn't.
Well, you're not living in
the real world, are you?
Do you know what would happen
to us if this ever got out?
We'd be out of the force faster than
that thing can touch the ground.
So you'd let an old lady lose
her life savings, would you?
And her whole life ruined.
You're not thinking straight.
I know she's your grandma.
Yeah, too right she's my gran!
And that's why I put the
purse in Murray's pocket.
Look, Phil
No, I'm sorry. There's such
a thing as loyalty, you know.
And there's such a
thing as the truth.
You're either for
me or against me.
You want to stand up in
court and shop a mate,
that's up to you.
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I shall give
shall be the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
PC Rowan,
you were, I believe,
the arresting officer?
Yes.
Perhaps you could tell the court in
your own words, what happened?
May he refer to his notes,
your Worships?
On Thursday, February 10th,
at 11:20 am,
I received a call to
attend a robbery
at The Old Almshouses,
Church Road, Ashfordly.
Constable Bellamy
was also in attendance.
When I arrived, the victim,
Mrs. Ethel Bellamy,
was already being looked
after by ambulancemen.
There seems to be
a lot of Bellamys.
Mrs. Bellamy is Constable
Bellamy's grandmother.
I understand. Carry on.
There were no witnesses,
but I found Mrs. Bellamy's handbag
lying on the pavement
across the road.
There was no money in it.
Constable Bellamy and
myself gave chase
and apprehended the two accused.
We took them to
Ashfordly police station,
where Mrs. Bellamy's empty purse was
found in Mr. Murray's jacket pocket.
Thank you, Constable.
I would just like to clarify
this business of the purse.
You see, I'm somewhat confused.
Are we talking about a handbag
or a purse that goes in a handbag?
A purse, sir.
The handbag was
found on the pavement.
I see. And the purse?
Well, just tell me again.
The er purse was found in
It was found in Mr. Murray's
pocket, like I said.
That's a lie!
He put it there!
Mr. Murray.
Now, if you can't keep quiet, you'll
be send back down to the cells.
You say you found the purse during
a search at the police station?
Yes, sir.
So you didn't search either men
when you caught up
with them in the street?
I didn't find the
purse then, sir, no.
Ah, well, that's not quite
what I asked, though, is it?
Did you or did you not
search the accused men
when you first found them?
Erm sorry, I don't remember.
Surely, after a robbery,
this would have been routine
procedure, would it not?
Yes, sir.
So, you must have, mustn't you?
Yes, sir.
So did you find the purse
in his pocket then then?
- I'm I'm not sure.
- You're not sure?
I'm sorry. My notes seemed
to be a bit muddled.
This only happened yesterday!
How can you possibly not be sure?
What's the matter
with you, Constable?
Did you have a late
night or something?
No, your Worships. I'm sorry.
We'll adjourn for five minutes,
while we wait for the constable
to get his notes in order.
Just answer me in a
word of one syllable.
Did you plant that purse
in Murray's pocket?
Did you?
You're a fool, Bellamy.
You're a stupid fool.
1:30 sharp at the parlour, Claude,
to help lift Mr. Braithwaite.
I'll be there if I've
got any back left.
You may step down from
the witness box, Constable.
Mr. Murray and Mr. Broadbent,
as the matter of the purse
cannot now be verified,
I'm dismissing the
charge against you
H-hey!
on the grounds of
insufficient evidence.
You may go.
We'll move on to case number
six on the list, please.
And another time,
Sergeant Blaketon,
the Bench will appreciate it
if it's time was not wasted on
ill-prepared police prosecutions!
Yes, sir.
(HOOTING)
It's all right, Mr. Greengrass,
we know you're there.
Oh, I were just
Hello.
There was no stuffed sheep in York.
Nor never had been.
So, where is it, Mr. Greengrass?
I told you
Rubbish!
I'm sorry, you must have
gone to the wrong shop.
- You're lying, Mr. Greengrass!
- Hey, steady!
You're lying!
I'm sorry, ladies,
I've got to get to the funeral.
Will you get off?!
Just get off!
Joan. Leave it.
We're not getting
anywhere like this.
I think it's time for
a change of tactics.
£600.
Found behind a
wall in Potters Lane.
Handed in by a
member of the public.
An honest citizen.
What you two did was despicable.
Sarge
Despicable, deceitful
and dishonourable.
It wasn't Nick, sarge.
If not for the fact that Rowan
fluffed it in the witness box
there would have been a
serious miscarriage of justice.
Do you understand?
BOTH: Yes, sarge.
Now police regulations demand
that I report this matter
immediately to the Superintendent.
I could have you two
kicked out of the Force.
As of now.
I'll speak to you later, Bellamy.
It was me.
Wasn't Nick.
He didn't want any part in it.
Get out!
Well..
I thought I knew you, Nick.
Ten years on the force,
just passed your sergeant's exams,
about to get married
You knew Bellamy had planted
that purse, didn't you?
Yes, sarge.
And you decided
to go along with it.
It wasn't
Did you or did you
not go along with it?
Yes, sarge.
Why?
Why throw your whole career away?
I didn't know what to do, sarge.
What you do, at all times,
is tell the truth.
In the police force,
and in life in general.
Otherwise, things have a
nasty habit of falling apart.
Like they are now.
I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed and disappointed.
Now get out of my sight.
What's going to happen, sarge?
Send Ventress in.
Alf?
What on earth's going on?
Nothing.
Sarge?
Well, you seem to be the only
sensible man I've got around here,
so we'll work on this together.
If we can't do 'em for Mrs. Bellamy,
we'll go back and we'll
try Mrs. Jackson again.
What did he say, Nick?
Is he going to report us or not?
I don't know.
For crying out loud,
Claude, I said 1:30!
Don't start. I couldn't help it!
Good Lord, they're here!
I've not even gotten
him in his box yet!
- What's this doing 'ere?
- Put that down.
They mustn't see this.
If you could help me
with Mr. Braithwaite.
Where is he?
Mr. Greengrass?
Put it in the cold store.
(BANGING)
Open this door!
Give us a hand.
Get his legs in.
Get 'em in! Get 'em in!
Mind mind yourself.
Let us in, Mr. Scripps!
Will you let us in!
I thought we were having
a viewing, Mr. Scripps.
Best not, sir.
Goodbye, Father.
Right sir, if you just like to take
the womenfolk to the cars?
Oh no! We're going to
carry him, Mr. Scripps.
It's the least we can do.
Gentlemen?
Come through, gentlemen.
Take the top end.
Ready?
Straighten up.
Turn to your right. That's grand.
He ain't heavy
He's my brother ♪
Well, they're getting
more violent, Mrs. Jackson.
The latest victim's an old lady of 80,
she was terrified out of her wits.
Now please, think again.
I am, Mr. Blaketon, I am.
But I don't want to get on
the wrong side of those men,
it's just not safe.
Well, none of us are safe,
are we, Mrs. Jackson?
Not with those
villains on the loose.
And you're the only person
to get a good look at them.
I only saw one man.
One would be enough.
CONGREGATION:
The Lord's my shepherd. I'll not want
I could throttle you,
Claude Greengrass.
What am I going to do
about Mr. Braithwaite?
I'll think of summat.
You'd better.
If this comes out, it'll be the
end of my funeral business.
You'll be responsible.
So, have you seen
this neurologist yet?
No.
I suppose your daddy
told you, did he?
Yes, he did.
Well, I think you've got
enough on your plate
without worrying about me.
Don't be silly, Mum.
If you're not well,
I want to know about it.
Come on, we haven't
spoken for weeks.
Can't we be friends again?
Cake or biscuits?
Mum, please! Just sit down a minute.
We've got to talk.
Ever since Nick and I got
engaged you've been like this.
I really really don't
want to quarrel.
You know what to do, then,
if you want us to be friends.
All right, then, I promise not to make
any wedding plans till you're better.
Does that help?
Your father and I did
our very best for you.
Mum, please!
Ballet lessons, piano lessons,
expensive schools, college.
And we did not expect all
that hard work and effort
to be thrown away
on a village bobby!
- Mum!
- No!
You asked me to talk,
so let me finish.
Nick is not the right man for you,
and that's all there is to it.
The right man would be
quite, quite different.
Nick is the right man for me!
I love him.
For a start, he'd have
decent job prospects
Nick's got decent job prospects!
A decent salary.
He'd talk properly
What?
And he'd have parents
I could bear to meet.
I am not staying to hear this.
And once you've got over
this stupid infatuation,
you'll see that I'm right.
Nick's a nice enough boy, but
mixed marriages do not work.
I don't believe you just said that.
He's not your sort, Jo.
And if you marry him
you'll be making the
biggest mistake of your life.
Ready, sarge.
There's no rush, Mrs. Jackson.
Just take your time.
Bellamy?
Door.
MRS JACKSON: (WHIMPERS)
Well done, Ventress.
Still no sign of the will, then?
No.
We've searched
high and low for it.
We think he died intestate.
Time to find Mr. Greengrass, Joan.
High time.
Apparently, he died intestate.
Eh?
Intestate!
Well, I'm still having t'bureau.
Well, it couldn't be better.
Robbery was good enough.
But now we can charge him
for assaulting a police officer.
He's in the cell, is he?
- Yes, sarge.
- Good.
Up before the Bench in the morning
and by this time tomorrow,
he'll be bang up on remand.
With a nice little custodial
sentence to follow.
So, we've got him, at last.
You two,
in my office,
tomorrow morning.
First thing.
Careful. You don't have to
stamp it down so hard!
He might want to come up now
and again, do a bit of haunting.
Oh, no!
Here. Here's a tenner.
Hop off out of it.
Go on, I'll finish this.
Look ladies, how many
times do I have to tell you?
I haven't got your flaming sheep!
What's going on?
Can you keep a secret,
Mr. Greengrass?
If there's a fee involved,
yeah, good.
Because we've found Father's will.
And there's money in it,
Father's little treasure trove.
In cash.
So if you tell us where the sheep is,
some of it will go to you.
Provided you keep your trap shut.
Shut? It'll be welded.
Where is it, then, this money?
Guess.
Well, just just
just leave it to me.
Well, that's Katie off.
When do you expect Jo back?
Erm.. I'm not sure.
Are you all right, Nick?
Yeah.
It's just that you seem rather,
I don't know, preoccupied.
No, I'm fine.
Is it about Jo and her mother?
No.
Because if it is,
I really wouldn't worry.
I wouldn't dream of
saying this in front of Jo,
but Mrs. Weston really does
sounds the most dreadful snob.
And I'm sure that's
at the root of it.
Eileen
Once she gets to
know you properly
Eileen.
I'm not worried about Jo's mum.
I've had a bad day, that's all.
Can I help?
It's about work.
I see.
I'm sorry.
I can't tell you any more.
Right.
And don't say anything to Jo.
She's got enough to worry about.
How was it?
Terrible! I really dislike
my mother sometimes.
Oh, hello!
THE ANIMALS:

Put it out, you fool !
You'll have the whole
village after us.
Bury my body cos my soul

Well, I'm off.
If I were you, Jo, I'd try and put all
those things your mother said to you
right out of your mind.
It's not that easy, Eileen.
When people are ill, they lash out.
I'm sure she didn't mean any of it.
Good night.
Night, Eileen.
Night.
Try not to worry.
Both of you.
It's all very well me
excusing Mum everything, but
Eileen didn't hear
what she said to me.
She's probably right, though.
It could be the headaches
that's making her so touchy.
Touchy! It's a lot more
than just touchy, Nick.
She was extremely offensive.
Well, I'm sure it'll sort itself out.
What's that supposed to mean?
What?
You're not listening
to anything I say!
- Of course I am.
- Well, you don't seemed to be.
You've been miles away
ever since I came in.
- No, I haven't.
- Yes, you have.
(PHONE RINGS)
I haven't.
Aidensfield Police.
Eh?!
Right. Yeah.
Okay.
That was the vicar.
He thinks he's seen grave robbers!
You're not having second thoughts,
are you Nick? About us?
Don't be silly.
You might have,
in the morning, though.
What?
Nothing.
Claude?
Ah. Nick!
I know this probably
looks a bit suspicious,
but there's a logical explanation.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Well, I'm waiting.
Oh, yeah, well,
it probably sounds a bit daft,
but what happened was that
I left this here when I were
digging a grave earlier. And then,
all of a sudden I remembered it,
so I thought I'd
better come and get it.
What, at this time of night?
Well, I thought somebody
might trip over it.
You needed it urgently, did you?
You're not up to anything,
are you, Claude?
Don't talk daft.
I wouldn't still be here, would I?
Hang on! Hang on,
there's summat here.
Give it to me.
(PANTS)
Hang on. What's this?
Hang on.
A farthing?!
There's summat written here.
"Greed has its own reward.
Divide it between you."
Right, Ventress.
Give that jacket a brush and
give those shoes a polish.
We're going to make a good impression
in that courtroom this morning
come what may.
My office.
So, what's going to
happen then, sarge?
Just this once,
and only because no
harm's been done,
I've decided to take
this matter no further.
Don't thank me, Rowan.
Thank your lucky stars.
And as for you, Bellamy,
words fail me.
I'm sorry.
Somebody handed it in, sarge.
Found it in the road.
