Heartbeat
Why do you miss when
my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss
stay in my memory? ♪
WIND BLOWING
It was probably just a fox.
Derek, it wasn't a fox.
There was someone following me.
But I thought you said you
didn't actually see anyone.
But I know there's someone there.
It's been happening
for a few days now.
What has?
Someone keeps watching me.
I just keep feeling
their eyes on me.
Come on, darling.
Don't let's get carried away.
Oh!
We'll have to re-stock for tomorrow.
Can you get down
to the off-licence?
You'll have to give me some money.
Tell 'em to put it on the account.
Derek, they won't
put it on the account.
We're way over the limit.
They've written to us twice already.
Okay, okay.
I'll give you a cheque.
We ARE a little over-wrought,
aren't we? Hmmm?
Not hungry?
No.
How's your dad?
He says he's coping.
It'll gonna take him a while to
get used to being on his own.
Yeah, I thought I might pop
over there later this week,
give him a hand sorting
out Mum's things.
I'll drive you, if you like.
No, it's all right.
It's probably better
if I go by myself.
Thought we might go
to the pictures this week.
Take my mind off things?
No.
I just fancied going, that's all.
Okay. Whatever you want.
What about this bloke?
'A pure and chaste life.'
Sounds like me.
Oh, yeah? You reckon?
Len, not here.
SQUEALS
Stop it!
Ahhh! Oh, stone the crows!
You frightened me!
You should talk. You're making
enough noise to waken the dead!
- Morning, Claude.
- Hi, Eileen.
Everything all right?
I don't know. You'd better
ask Romeo and Juliet here.
Oh, we're just taking a
look around the graves.
Len's ancestors came
from around here
so we're trying to put
together a family tree.
Ah! What was the name?
Len and Julie Wilcox.
Oh, I don't know any
Wilcoxes in Aidensfield.
Oh, would have been a long time ago.
Mate, you haven't seen any gravestones
with the name Wilcox on, have you?
Me, I'm paid to cut the grass,
not read the epitaphs.
Have you tried any
other graveyards?
- Oh, there are others around here?
- Oh, yes!
Look, why don't you have
a word with the vicar first.
And he might let you have a look at
the register of marriages and deaths.
That could save you some time.
Great. Thanks.
Good luck.
PHONE RINGS
4-7-9, hello?
Hello?
PHONE CUTS OFF
Two jam doughnuts, please.
What can I get you?
Oh, erm
Er, a cup of tea.
Tea. Anything else?
Er Well, I'm
I'm not quite sure.
Erm Perhaps a biscuit.
We don't do biscuits.
We've got pies, tarts, doughnuts,
cream buns, sausage rolls.
No biscuits.
Sorry
Two jam doughnuts, if you've
got a minute please, Mary.
Oh! I think I think I'll
have a jam doughnut too.
- How much is that?
- Four pence.
How much?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
It's just that everything
is so expensive now.
Er two jam doughnuts, please.
You pay when you leave.
You don't pay now.
Oh, yes. I see.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Two jam doughnuts.
Did this man threaten you at all?
No.
Has he tried to talk to you?
Well, I haven't actually seen him.
Not yet.
Well, that does make things
a bit difficult, Mrs. Lightfoot.
But I know he's there!
Why does everyone find
it so hard to understand?
Well, it's just if we had
a little bit more to go on.
Look
Forget it. I'm sorry
for wasting your time.
It's probably just my imagination.
Sorry, miss.
What have you got there, Ventress?
Elevenses, sarge.
Your elevenses finished five
minutes ago by my watch.
So where are you off to
after Aidensfield, then?
Len's got this huge
great trip planned.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, we're going all over Europe.
Er Paris, then Rome,
then down to St. Tropez, Monaco.
We're staying in the top hotels,
aren't we, Len?
Yeah.
Must be costing you a few bob.
Len's business is doing
real well back home.
Why do you think I married him?
Sometimes I think that IS the
only reason you married me.
I'm sorry, I don't think
I can change that.
Oh, right.
How about a traveller's cheque?
I tell you what.
We'll put it on your bill, eh.
Settle upon you leave.
Righty-ho. Thanks a lot.
How are you getting on?
Any luck finding your relatives' graves?
Er, not as yet, mate.
But it's early days.
Yah. Cos I was wondering
Probably, what you
could do with, you know,
is somebody to
show you about a bit,
you know, somebody with a
bit of expert local knowledge.
Well, we weren't really
looking to hire a guide.
I I I wouldn't want paying.
It's what we English call
helping out.
Well, if you don't mind, mate,
that would be real nice of you.
Get me while you've got me
cos I'm doing nowt this afternoon.
ROLLING STONES:
Paint It, Black
Derek?
Derek?
Are you there?
Derek?
I see a red door and
I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and
they're all painted black
With flowers and my love,
both never to come back
I see people turn their heads
and quickly look away
Like a new born baby,
it just happens every day
I see a red door and
I want it painted black
No colors anymore I
want them to turn black
Maybe I will fade away
and not have to face the facts
Len! Take a look at this.
Julie. Julie. Julie, over here.
I've found one, look.
Ethel Wilcox.
Oh, look! There's others, Len.
Oh, blow me down!
The whole family's here!
Better get these written
down for the family tree.
Why don't we go inside the church
and read the Marriage Register.
It can probably give
you a lot of names.
I can't bear the thought of
someone going through my things.
You sure it's just the scarves
that are missing?
I can't see anything else.
They're definitely here this morning?
Yes.
I was trying to decide
which one to wear.
Can you describe them?
They were both silk.
One was blue with a gold pattern
and the other was red
with a white background.
But why should anyone
want to steal my scarves?
There you go, Jules.
Patrick Wilcox, that's
Ethel's eldest son,
married Joan Frump in 1811.
Married who, did you say?
Joan Frump.
You've got to be joking.
What's the matter, Claude?
Well, he can't have.
Why not?
Well, a lot of my father's
family were Frumps.
You mean
We must be related!
It's simple, really.
The way it works is that,
my auntie's mother's cousin
is your father's
uncle's third cousin.
So what does that make us?
Cousins, I supposed.
Once or twice removed.
Anyway, why don't we sit down?
I'll show you how it all works out.
What are you up to, Claude?
I'm not UP to anything.
These happened to be long
lost Australian relatives.
- Oh, yes?
- Oh, yes!
Don't make summat out of nowt.
Just keep it out, all right?
I know I didn't ask you.
What do you actually
do in Australia?
Oh, all sorts, mate.
Land, property, import, export.
You've picked the right place
here, you know, because
the potential is marvellous.
- Really?
- Oh, yeah.
I mean, anybody who's
got a few bob to spare.
I mean, it's wide
open for investments.
The trouble is, Claude,
how do I keep an eye on things
from 12,000 miles away?
Well, that's the beauty, ain't it.
I mean, I could manage it for you.
You!
Yeah, I mean, all Len's got to
do is put up a bit of money.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Len's a real tough fellow
to do business with.
I think I could learn
to live with that.
It might interfere with our
new-found relationship.
But I don't see why.
I mean, it'd still be a family
business, wouldn't it?
I mean, if I had a
few bob to spare,
I'd keep it in the family
and look after me own.
Sorry, mate. I'm keeping my money
where I can see it, Down Under.
Well, if you change your mind,
you know where to find me.
Bad news. But er, the last
two are mine, I believe.
I don't think so. Sorry about that.
Oh, blast.
The girls win again.
Refills all round?
How about some coffee, darling.
Aaagghhh!
There's someone in
the garden. Look!
Oh, come on, darling.
Your eyes are playing tricks on you.
Oh, please Derek, have a look!
Go on!
Crikey! There is someone.
What the devil?
Now, will you believe me?
I'll phone the police.
So neither of you
can identify this man?
It was all so quick.
It was just a blur.
I looked up and I
saw someone and
then he'd gone.
And then, when I
got to the window,
he was at the far end
of the lawn and uh
Well it could have been anyone.
Nothing, sarge.
What? Not even footprints?
Couldn't see any.
These things keep happening.
First, someone
starts following me,
then we get broken
into and then this.
Could it be the same man, sarge?
It has to be!
Well, I think we should keep an
open mind for the moment, sir.
But it's worth taking precautions.
See? They think he's dangerous.
Darling, why don't you go
and look after our guests?
They're probably wondering
what the devil's going on.
Sergeant, erm,
Do you think it could
be someone with a
well
an unhealthy interest in Jean?
That's a possibility, sir, but we
can't be sure of anything yet.
It's turning her into
a nervous wreck.
I want him caught, Sergeant.
We can't put up with
much more of this.
Don't worry about supper
for me tonight, Eileen.
I'm taking Jo to the pictures.
Oh, good. How is she?
Well, it's hard to say.
She doesn't seem to want a shoulder
to cry on. Well, not mine, anyway.
People deal with grief
in different ways, Nick.
She's still very shocked.
Yeah, I suppose so.
Give her time. She'll be all right.
Yeah, I hope so.
Eh! See you, trouble.
You just try and enjoy
yourselves tonight.
Bye, then.
Bye-bye, Daddy.
DUSTBIN LID FALLING
Oh, Mitzi.
You've no right to
frighten me like that.
I'm sorry. I'm really very sorry.
If you'd just let me explain.
This woman was outside my
back door hanging around.
I'm sorry.
Yesterday, I should have come to
the front door, not the back door.
It's so silly. One forgets.
Would you mind telling me
what you're calling about?
Ah, it's a social call.
It doesn't matter.
It's not important.
I'm an old friend of Derek's.
You know my husband?
Just thought I'd drop in on him.
Surprise him.
Derek's at work.
Yes. So silly of me.
I wasn't thinking straight.
I'll erm I'll come
back another time.
Excuse me.
What's that in your handbag?
In my bag? Oh, nothing.
It's just odds and ends.
If you wouldn't mind, please.
Those are my scarves!
What on Earth are
you doing with them?
To think after all that,
it was you they were related to.
What a family they
turned out to be and all.
I think Julie was hoping
for someone a bit more
well, upper class.
I'm sorry if I disappointed her.
She's a right snob really,
for an Australian.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
I reckon she was secretly hoping
for someone like Lord Ashfordly.
Still, you can't
choose your relatives.
Really?
Derek will explain.
Derek will explain everything.
He'll sort things out.
So you were a friend of his?
Oh, more than a friend.
We were very close.
You could say I was an old flame.
His wife thinks someone's
been spying on her.
Me?
Why would I do that?
Have you made phone
calls to the house?
Yes. Yes, I did make one or two.
I did so want to get in touch.
And did you get in touch?
I just kept losing my nerve.
I know I shouldn't have done it,
I shouldn't have kept
hanging up like that.
I-I just wanted to speak to her,
to see what sort of
woman Derek married.
What about these erm
headscarves?
How exactly did
you come by those?
The headscarves. Yes, I
When I went to the house
yesterday, the door was open.
I went in.
I know I know I was snooping.
But I saw the scarves.
They were just the sort of thing
Derek would have bought for me.
So you took them?
Mmmm.
But that's why I went back today,
to give them back and to apologise.
You're not going to lock me up.
Are you?
You see, the thing is, Len,
because of all the excitement,
I forgot to tell you about
the other side of the family.
The other side?
Yeah. I've done a diagram.
If you'd like to have a look
at that, it's self explanatory.
- What's this?
- What?
All these Lords and Ladies?
Yeah, that's what I
was telling you about.
There is a bit of aristocratic
blood in the family.
You're having us on, Claude.
You've been on the sauce
or something, mate?
No. It's all down there.
And you, young lady,
you've married yourself
into an old English family
that's got a very fine pedigree.
- I need a drink.
- Hang on, Len.
Your Mum did say, she thought
we were related to aristocracy.
Our family?
They must have been born on
the wrong side of the blanket.
Why don't you come round
to the house for a cup of tea
and then I can
tell you all about it.
Cause I want to show
you some things
that have been handed down
through the generations.
You know, heirlooms.
Heirlooms?
Maybe we should have a look.
Yeah, all right.
Mr. Lightfoot, sarge.
Hello, Derek.
It's been a long time.
Sorry?
Well, this is Miss Williamson, sir.
She tells us you
two know each other.
Can you confirm that?
No, I've never seen her before.
Derek it's me.
Susan.
Oh, for goodness sake, you're not
going to tell me you've forgotten.
I'm very sorry, but I think you must
have me confused with someone else.
It would have been
quite a long time ago, sir.
21 years. No, 22.
Have I really changed so much?
Lost my looks?
You're sure you've never met?
I'm positive.
I've never seen her before.
If it was just a brief friendship.
But it wasn't.
We were going out together.
We were engaged to be married!
Derek!
You must remember!
Derek. Wait, please!
- Sorry about that, sir.
- No, not at all.
I wish I could help.
She seems very confused.
Maybe it's his memory.
Yes. He will remember.
Well, clearly one of you is
mistaken, Miss Williamson.
Right. Now, we'll need
your permanent address.
Yes. My er, permanent address.
Yes.
Let me see, um.
It's The Grange,
School Lane, Lytchett Matravers.
Now, we'll know in a day or two
if this'll be taken any further.
But I'm not a criminal.
Please!
I've explained.
I was going to take the scarves back.
Well, it won't be my decision,
Miss Williamson.
It'll be up to
divisional headquarters.
Oh, but
You could have a word with
them, couldn't you? Hmm?
Explain everything?
All the circumstances
will be in my report.
And then the law will just
have to take its course.
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Hello?!
Who is this?
Miss Williamson
please, just leave us alone.
PHONE RINGS
Hello, Maggie. Is Jo ready?
No, she's not here.
Where's she gone?
She's gone to York to help her father
pack up some of her mum's things.
Oh, yeah.
We're suppose to go to the pictures.
Did she say anything?
No, but
Well, she's probably forgotten.
Yeah, she's got a lot on
her mind at the moment.
Well, tell her I'll call round
and see her tomorrow.
Yeah, sure.
- Thanks, Maggie.
- Bye.
How many times did it happen?
Three or four.
I took the phone off
the hook in the end.
It's her again. It's got to be.
Are you sure you've never
met this woman, Derek?
Darling, I've never seen
her before in my life.
Then why would she
say she knew you?
Because she's not
right in the head!
Can't you understand, darling?
This is probably exactly
what she wants,
to cause trouble between us.
I'm going to phone the police.
I've had enough of this.
These things I'll offer
around the family.
And these things can go
to the nearly-new shop.
Yes. Thanks.
No, not that one.
I like that one.
Maybe we should leave
the rest for now.
It's okay, Dad.
Let's do this some other time.
I miss her, Jo.
I don't mind telling you.
I really miss her.
Me too.
It all happened so quickly.
I still can't get used to it.
She was ill and then
suddenly she's gone.
I know your mother
liked to speak her mind.
You had your differences
and she wasn't easy but
deep down
I know, Dad. I know.
Look, why don't I come
over at the weekend
and cook you a
proper Sunday roast?
What?
Afraid the old man can't
take care of himself?
I'm not that helpless, you know.
Dad, I want to.
Do you?
Okay.
Bring Nick.
It'd be nice to see him.
Sure. Oh, blast!
What?
Nothing. It doesn't matter.
What?
Oh, we're supposed to be going
to the pictures tonight, that's all.
Oh, you should be out with him.
Shouldn't be here
wasting your time on me.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Miss Williamson?
Yes.
A visitor for you.
Constable Rowan would
like a word with you.
Sorry to disturb you,
Miss Williamson.
What is it?
We've had a complaint
from Derek Lightfoot.
Someone's making
phone calls to his house.
Phone calls?
You said you'd made calls before.
We wondered if you'd tried
to contact him again?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes!
I'm not in the habit of
making nuisance calls.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand any of this.
Why is Derek saying
he doesn't know me?
Why is he being so mean?
Well, are you sure it was
how you remember it was?
Perhaps your memory's
playing tricks on you.
I'm not making it up.
We were lovers.
I remember it all perfectly.
Everything.
So how long were you
actually seeing each other?
About eight months?
Eight months?
Yes.
We were very much in love.
And that's why I
don't understand this.
We were very happy together.
But, then there
were problems and
things started to fall apart.
Oh, what sort of problems?
It wasn't Derek's fault.
Sorry.
I just think I really need
to have a rest now.
It's been a very long day.
Nick, I'm sorry about last night.
I completely forgot.
That's all right. How's your dad?
Still very cut up.
I'm really worried about him.
Anything I can do?
Don't you think we've done enough.
What do you mean?
Well, we didn't exactly
make things easy for them
these last few months, did we?
Falling out with Mum,
probably making her more ill.
It wasn't our fault, Jo.
It's just that Dad's had a
terrible time of it recently,
and it's partly because of us.
Look, I've got to go.
I'm afraid the family
had fallen on hard times
over the last few generations.
Which is why we're not quite
as grand as we used to be.
So what's happened
to it all, Claude?
All this land and the castles?
Death duties. Things like that.
It's been terrible.
I mean, we had to get rid of
quite a few of the old heirlooms.
Oh, this is lovely, Claude.
Be-be-be a bit careful with that.
Why?
It's worth a few bob, is that.
You're not going to tell
us that's an heirloom?
It's got a bit of history to it.
It's been in the family
for hundreds of years.
It's been handed over, you know,
down, like, from father to son.
What's that on the side Claude?
Well, that the family crest of arms.
I thought I'd seen it in a hotel.
Len!
Have you got anyone
to pass that on to?
Julie!
She's got quite a point there.
I mean, I probably ought to pass
it on before I pass on myself.
I tell you what, if you'd like it,
you know, I'd like you to have it.
I mean, I don't want owt for it.
Like it'll be payment enough to
know it's being kept in the family.
You're kidding?
Well, if it'll make
you feel any better,
you give me a couple of quid
and I'll polish it up for you.
Thanks all the same, Claude.
If you had any real
nice family heirlooms,
we'd pay good money,
wouldn't we, love?
But not that.
Well, would you know when he
will be back from the golf club?
Okay. I'll try again this afternoon.
Thank you. Bye.
Who's that you're calling, Rowan?
Derek Lightfoot, sarge.
I just wanted to check
out one or two things
Miss Williamson told me last night.
Ashfordly police station.
She seems to know quite a
lot about him as a young man.
I wouldn't go believing
too much of that.
While you've been tracking
down Derek Lightfoot
I've been on to the station
at Lytchett Matravers
checking the address that
Miss Williamson gave us.
Now there's no-one of
that name living there.
It's Mrs. Lightfoot, sarge.
She's in a riot stage.
There's been another
incident up at the house.
Why are you doing this?
I didn't vandalise their car.
The whole thing's absurd,
it's absurd.
Why won't you believe me?
We'll talk about this down at
the station, if you don't mind.
It's so beautiful.
A real heirloom.
Wah-hey!
Hey, who did this
belong to, Claude?
Oh, the Earl of er
Alfred.
The Earl of Alfred. Nice man.
He's got quite a few bits.
So he said he didn't
mind me having one.
You've got more.
Hang on. Hang on.
Oh! What do we owe
you for all this, Claude?
Well, since it's gonna stay in the
family, I'll do you a special deal.
You can have it for £10.
No worries.
Listen. Claude, you couldn't er
get us something else a
bit more grand, could you?
Well I'll er,
I'll have a bit of a delve.
Good on you.
So, where were you
around lunchtime today?
At the church.
Did anyone see you there?
Yes! A young Australian couple.
Something to do with a family tree.
What time was this?
I don't know.
I haven't got a watch.
Yes, I must buy one.
I can't manage without one.
Where is it you live,
Miss Williamson?
At the guest house.
You know that.
I know that's where
you've been staying
but it's not your
permanent address, is it?
You gave me an address
in Lytchett Matravers.
Yes, that's right.
Well, we've made enquiries
and we've discovered
that nobody knows you there.
No, not now.
It was my parents' house,
where I grew up.
So, I'll ask you once more.
Nowhere. I do not have an address.
You must live somewhere?
I've been away for a long time.
Away where?
I haven't been well.
But I am better now.
They told me I was.
Where is it that you've been?
It's Moore Park.
It's a psychiatric hospital.
Now you'll think I'm unbalanced.
And that's why I didn't
want anybody to find out.
Oh, please.
Please!
This whole thing is
becoming a nightmare.
Well, I hate to tell
you I told you so,
but it's pretty obvious to
me that Miss Williamson
is not quite the full shilling.
So get over to the hospital and see
what they have to say about her.
We don't know that it was her
who vandalised the car, sarge.
Well, it's gone beyond
that now, Rowan.
She's admitted being
obsessed with Derek Lightfoot.
And we have a duty to
protect members of the public.
I'll organise a doctor.
He can come and examine her.
You're not thinking about having her
committed again, are you, sarge?
Well, that's for the
doctor to decide.
But the way she's
behaving at the moment,
I don't think there's much
doubt about the outcome.
- Now then, Graham.
- Claude.
Have you got this pile of rubbish?
I've never let you down, have I?
Look at that.
It's seen better days, hasn't it?
Of course it's seen better days.
It's an antique.
It's supposed to look like that.
Just look at the
patination on that.
Craftsmanship. Workmanship.
That is a genuine
Victorian Davenport.
Yeah, all right. How much
are you going to take off me?
Twenty quid.
Twenty quid? You're a
bigger thief than I am.
I'll give you fifteen.
It's twenty quid, Claude.
Ah, seeing as it's you,
I'll go to seventeen.
I'd rather chop it up.
Twenty quid or nothing.
All right, all right.
I'll give you twenty.
Come on, I'm getting cold.
Yeah, hearted!
She's been bothering
a man in the village.
Susan?
She's has some sort
of fixation with him.
I'm surprised.
She's done things
like this in the past?
No. Not that I know of.
So why was she in here?
She had behavioural
problems, years ago.
What sort of problems?
Manic depression.
When she was on a high,
she can get a bit wild.
These days, we'd probably
just call her a free spirit.
She came from a well-to-do family.
She was probably an
embarrassment to them.
Has she got any family left?
Not that I know of.
Her parents died years ago.
She was an only child.
Who is this man she's been
troubling? Derek Lightfoot?
You know him?
No, but she talked
about him a lot.
Said she wanted to look him
up when she was released.
You said her family are well off.
Yes. The money's probably
in a trust somewhere.
That's the usual arrangements
for wealthy patients.
That's a real beaut, Claude.
How much his
lordship want for it?
Fifty quid.
Fifty?
It's probably a fair dinkum
Chipperfield or something.
I think you'll find that's a circus.
No, it's a Davenport, but you see,
it's Victorian and its
got an apatternation.
Right. Whatever.
Oh, Len. I really want it.
Right you are, Claude.
Listen mate, we'll have to go into town
and cash some more travellers' cheques.
Maybe we can meet you
back at the pub later.
Yeah. All right.
Whatever you like.
Afternoon, Claude.
Hello Nick.
What might you be wanting?
Well, I want to speak to Len and Julie,
if that's alright with you.
You have to be a bit quick cause
they've got to go into town to,
do a bit of sightseeing.
What's this?
It's a Davenport and it's
legitimate and paid for,
so there's no need
for you to worry.
Yeah, belonged to one of Mr.
Greengrass aristocratic relatives.
Really?
I didn't know you were born with a
silver spoon in your mouth, Claude.
No, I'm a bit distant.
I'll be seeing you.
See you later.
Good day, constable.
What can we do for you?
Well, we've been
questioning a woman
about an incident earlier today.
She says she was in the
church around lunchtime.
Oh, yeah. That'd be Susan.
Very nice lady.
A few 'roos loose
in the top paddock.
That sounds like her.
Do you remember what time?
Yeah. It was just before 12:30pm.
I remember because I was
thinking of giving home a ring.
But I realised it would
be too late at night.
Right. Thank you.
Mrs. Lightfoot got back from her
coffee morning just before 12:30pm.
Which is when she found the car.
Well, when did the Australians
see Miss Williamson?
Well, a few minutes AFTER 12:30pm.
Well, the church isn't far.
She could have got there in time.
Only if she was very quick.
Anyway the doctor reckons
Susan's over her problems.
Oh, does he?
He also said that she
spoke of Derek Lightfoot
while she was staying there.
They must have known
each other, sarge.
Unless she's harboured
this fantasy for years.
What if Derek
Lightfoot's been lying?
Maybe he's got a reason for
pretending he never knew her.
Such as?
Well apparently,
Susan's a very wealthy woman.
You be careful, Rowan.
Your speculations are based
on very flimsy evidence.
No luck, sarge.
Checked with the hardware store,
the garage, everywhere.
Nobody answering Susan
Williamson's description
bought any acid in
the last few days.
She has to have got
it from somewhere.
Maybe she found
it at the Lightfoot's,
if she was snooping around there.
Right, Rowan. Let's go up there
and have a look around, shall we?
Just a few more loose
ends to be tied up, sir.
The woman's been in a
mental hospital, sergeant.
How much more proof do you need?
We're trying to find out
where Miss Williamson
might have got a hold of the acid.
We wondered if she
might have found it here.
- Battery acid, perhaps?
- Possibly.
There might be some
in the garage, I think.
Well, could PC Rowan
take a look, Mrs. Lightfoot?
Is this really necessary, Sergeant?
We've been victims of this woman.
I really do object to
this further intrusion.
Are you quite sure you've never
met Susan Williamson, sir?
Yes. How many more times
have I got to tell you?
What's this?
Rubbish, I expect.
That's it. I knew I'd seen it.
Mind your hands.
Oh, why don't you just get
her committed, Sergeant?
The woman should be
locked up immediately.
We found these in
your garage, sir.
Yes, I er
I spilt some acid on them.
They er
they weren't worth keeping.
But it's your new suit.
When did it happen, sir?
Erm
A few days ago.
I don't remember.
But Derek, you were wearing
these this morning.
Where were you at
12:30pm today, sir?
You're surely not suggesting
I vandalised my wife's car?
That is preposterous.
Could you just tell us
where you were, sir.
Yes, I was at work, of course.
At the office.
I phoned your office, sir.
Your secretary said you weren't there.
Ah, yes. That's because
I had a business lunch.
She said you were playing golf.
Uh, no!
No. No I was, erm
Oh, I don't
I don't remember.
I have been very busy recently.
Did you vandalise the car, sir?
No, no. That is absolutely absurd.
I must warn you.
We'll be checking everything
you've told us, every detail,
as well as initiating an immediate
forensic examination of these.
I shall really miss those
Aussies when they go.
You'll miss their money, more like.
Where are they, anyway, Claude?
That's a point.
They should have been here
about half an hour ago.
We had a relationship, years ago.
And then Susan became ill.
When she went into hospital
I agreed to take care
of her investments
all her stocks shares.
And?
When the business was
going through a rough patch,
I borrowed a little
just to tide us over.
How much?
Five hundred pounds.
- Five hundred?
- Was that all you borrowed?
To begin with, yes.
But the business didn't recover.
So you kept taking more?
No, I was going to. I
AM going to pay her back.
But, you see, I thought she'd spend
the rest of her life in hospital.
So I'd have plenty of time.
How much did you
borrow in total, sir?
I'm not sure.
Perhaps five thousand.
How could you?
Oh, that poor woman.
Jean, I
The one thing I thought you were
good at was making money.
But it was her money all the time.
Did she pay for all this too?
All the presents you bought for me?
- Jean, listen to me.
- Aagghh!
I've heard enough, Derek.
I was going to pay it all back.
- Hi, Mag.
- Hello, Claude.
Eh, you haven't seen those
Australian relatives of mine
mucking about anywhere, have you?
Oh, they've gone. I saw them
driving off a couple of hours back.
No, they were just off
to change some money.
They didn't look like it.
They seemed pretty loaded up to me.
They had an old table or
something on the roof.
The thieving swines!
What?
What's happened, Claude?
They've done a bunk
with me Davenport!
Derek?!
HE did it?
Yeah. There is something else.
I'm afraid it might come
as a bit of a shock.
He was supposed to be looking after
some money you inherited, wasn't he?
Yes. Quite a lot of money.
It looks like he's been
taking some for himself.
Oh.
I sort of guessed that.
You knew?
Well, I used to check the share
prices in the newspapers.
Not much else to do in hospital.
And they always seemed to be
doing better than Derek said.
But what do I care?
I've got plenty.
If he was short,
I was happy to help him out.
Susan, I'm sorry.
I can explain. Erm
It was just cash flow problems,
that's all.
I don't care about the money, Derek.
You know me better than that.
I can't believe you wanted
to have me locked up again,
just when I'd got my life back.
How could you do that?
I never wanted anything from you.
All I ever wanted
was your friendship.
Will you be all right?
Yes.
You know when I see Derek,
I think I'm still in love with him,
fool that I am.
Cheerio, Constable.
I hope you'll be luckier
in love than I've been.
Oh, they left you some, then?
Yeah, it's all here.
Money for their room plus a tip.
Are you sure they
didn't leave my £50?
Afraid not, Claude.
You can trust nobody!
Supposed we shouldn't
be that surprised.
Why?
Well, didn't Len tell you?
His great, great grandad
was a convict.
That's how the family
ended up in Australia.
He got sent out there
for sheep rustling.
You what?
It almost seemed too good to
be true that they were related.
Now I'm really
beginning to see it.
Mmm. Yeah, me and all.
There is a resemblance.
It's something to do with
the length of the nose.
Ah. You two are getting up mine,
so you better buy me a drink.
Shall we leave it to show Daddy?
Yes.
I'm glad you came over today, Jo.
So am I.
It seems ages since I've been round.
Hello.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Look what Katie's done for you.
Oh. That's great.
Erm, time for your bath.
Come on.
I'll come and read you
a story in a minute.
Okay?
Off we go.
Nick, I want to apologise.
What for?
For being such a misery
these last few days.
I've felt so bad about Mum,
and I've taken it out
on you and I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I've had enough arguments,
enough rows.
We carry on like this, people
will think we're married already.
So maybe we should
just get on with it.
Save confusion.
Yeah. Maybe we should.
