Heartbeat
Why do you miss when
my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss
stay in my memory? ♪
PROCOL HARUM:
A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
Tickets!
Tickets, please!
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
Thank you.
When we call out
for another drink
Hey, just a minute.
Come here.
No, you don't!
Come here!
Stop him! Stop him!
As the miller told his tale
So, what exactly has
been stolen, Mr. Jenkins?
Offcuts.
Not whole pelts?
No, no. Smaller pieces.
We use the whole skin, apart
from the head, paws and flanks.
And what happens to these scraps?
We sell them on to firms that
make mink accessories.
Not for a lot, I grant you,
but nothing's wasted.
I wouldn't get too
attached to that, Rowan.
Not on your salary.
How much these cost in the shops?
About twelve hundred pounds.
Twelve hundred?
What's Jenkins got
the police in for?
He thinks someone's
stealing his precious mink.
I hope he's not
accusing any of us.
Well, you know what he's like.
Are you staying late tonight?
Yeah. I need the overtime.
Well, I'll stay late with you, love.
I've got to get these
coats finished anyway.
And you know what they say:
misery loves company.
Terry!
Dad?
Where you've been, then?
Train spotting?
What is it with you and trains, eh?
Tell you what, go for a
ride tomorrow if you like.
Really?
Have a day out, just us two.
Holiday treat.
Brilliant!
Your mum's still not back.
She's always working late.
Then she's got to come home
and clean up after you, eh.
What a woman.
Didn't know how good I had it.
Are you going to
stay this time, Dad?
Why? Would you like that?
I don't think your mam
will let me, to tell the truth.
This is just till I get
back on my feet.
She does want you back.
I know she does.
You reckon?
That's a nice thought, Terry.
We'll have to see
how it goes, eh?
It sounds like Eileen's
having a good time.
- Yeah. Lucky thing.
TELEPHONE RINGS
Hello?
Hi. Yes, he is.
Sergeant Blaketon.
Hello, sarge.
Well, did he get the boy's name?
Oh, not again.
Yeah, I'll go and
have a word with him.
Okay.
Terry Ainsworth. Again.
What is it this time?
Playing on the line again?
Fare dodging.
I've had more trouble
with him this half term
than all the other
kids put together.
He's not had it easy Nick,
what with his dad
in and out of prison.
Yeah, but the way he's going,
he'll end up the same way.
Bye, darling.
Your supper will be ready
when you get back.
Oh, I could get used to this.
Maybe we should make this
a permanent arrangement.
Oh, you think so, do you?
Bye, then.
Go and look somewhere else.
Still here, Mr. Greengrass?
You certainly put in
a good day's work.
I believe in value
for money, Madam.
It's going to look wonderful
when it's all tidied up.
Don't suppose there's
been any sign of my ring?
Ring? Oh, oh no, no.
No, I'm afraid not.
I'm sure I lost it when I was down
at this end of the garden.
Is it valuable, is it?
Oh, yes.
It's got a five diamond cluster.
Belonged to my mother.
Oh, well. If it's got a bit of that,
I'll definitely keep my eye open.
If you'll excuse me, I'd better
The station master said it's
the second time this week.
He's a liar. I did buy a ticket.
With what? Cause I haven't
given you any money.
Savings!
So why didn't you show
it to the ticket collector?
I was in a hurry.
If this happens again,
you'll end up in court.
Do you hear that?
Is that what you want?
Hello, Eddie.
Why don't you leave the
kid alone, constable?
You've got nothing better to do?
Stay out of it, Eddie.
I'm his father, aren't I?
Are you not concern he could
end up in juvenile court.
Go on, Eddie, get out of it,
if you're not going to be any help.
Look, I know it's difficult, but the
station master won't tolerate this.
And neither's my sergeant.
Right.
Leave it with me.
I'll read him the riot act.
Again.
I thought we talked
about this last time, Terry.
Yeah, and you said you
weren't going to drop me in it.
And you said you were going
to stop messing around.
No more playing on the lines
and no more fare dodging.
- I have stopped.
- Have you?
Well, I haven't been
doing it much.
How is it that everytime
we agree on something,
the next thing I know,
you're back doing it again?
You, inside! Now.
There you go.
Hiya, Phil.
A pint when you've got
a minute please, Gina.
Ah those new aren't they,
those earrings?
Yeah. Steve bought them for me.
They're lovely, aren't they.
He's a little sweetheart.
Very nice, yeah. Must be love.
I bet they looked
better on the ferret.
They're mink, Claude.
Ah. You're right.
It must be love.
I'll get these, Claude.
What's gone wrong with you?
Somebody left you in their will?
A bit of unexpected business.
Sold that van I've had sitting
on the forecourt for ages.
That load of rubbish?
What did you get for it, ninepence?
Ten quid, two crates of cider,
and a metal detector.
Is the cider any good?
Hmm, not bad.
I'll let you have a few bottles at
a knockdown price, if you like.
Not a chance.
What about the metal detector?
Is it working?
He said it was.
I might borrow it.
Do a bit of field test on it for you.
Oh, aye? What are you
after, buried treasure?
You never know your luck.
Rent man came round today.
What did he say?
Told me to remind you that
you've got till the end of the week.
He said you'd know what he meant.
I'm twelve quid in arrears.
He's going to evict
us if I don't pay.
Well, you're earning money.
It's a pittance.
Hardly enough to put
food on the table.
Can't you help us out?
Me?
Terry's your son, Eddie!
You've not paid a penny for
his keep these last two years!
That would've been difficult
when I were banged up.
Why don't you get yourself a job?
Look, I don't want you here if
you're just sponging off me!
Working for a living never
was my style, Molly.
Why have you come
back here anyway?
What do you want?
I came back for you, love.
You and Terry.
You are my family, after all.
I don't believe you!
You were never
interested in us before!
Look, what's going on, Eddie?
I want to know!
KEY IN DOOR
- Hello, Terry. You here again?
- Yeah.
- You all right?
- Ya.
Here. A treat for you.
Don't I get a thank you?
Thank you.
Summat else for you.
Don't spend it all at once.
Thanks, Joyce.
Oh, it's not much.
Just a bit of pocket money.
I'll give it to Mum.
She can't pay the rent.
Has that collector
been round again?
Yeah. We're going to get kicked
out if she don't pay it all off.
And Dad won't give her anything.
No surprises there.
Don't you fret about
the rent money, Terry.
It will sort itself out, somehow.
WHISTLE BLOWS
There. The signal! I told you!
So, where's the next one?
Bet you can't tell me that.
Before the road bridge just up here!
Then there's one before the station!
And one before the level crossing.
This bridge, is that a
good place to watch?
Yeah, it is.
We could go down there, if you like,
do a bit of train spotting.
Yeah! And I can show you
my den where I always go.
When exactly did this happen?
Did you have a word with young
Ainworth's mother last night, Rowan?
I did, sarge, yeah. And his dad.
Looks like Eddie's
back on the scene.
I thought he was still inside
for that post office job.
He was released on parole
a couple of weeks ago.
Right. I'll pass it on. Bye.
That was Mr. Jenkins from De Vere's.
He says a whole mink
pelt's gone missing.
When?
Well, he says it could be anytime
yesterday or overnight.
But there was no
sign of a break-in.
So, we'll have to talk
to the night watchman,
the cleaners and the machinists.
Rowan, do you reckon Molly Ainsworth's
capable of something like this?
She's never been in
trouble before, sarge.
Well, Eddie could be
putting her up to it.
Possible.
Gina was wearing
mink earrings yesterday.
Mink earrings?
Yeah, her friend Steve
gave them her.
Yeah, that could be
the sort of things
the stolen offcuts are
being used for, sarge.
Especially the ???
Well, it's worth a try I suppose.
Bellamy, see if you can find out
where he bought them from.
Yes, sarge.
Hey! Real Aladdin's Cave!
- Do you like it?
- Yeah!
So how far's that road
bridge from here?
Not far. I know a short cut.
- Seen this?
- Where's that from?
The station.
No wonder the station
master loves you.
Hey, come on.
Let's get up that bridge.
Fancy watching a few trains.
If you come back for good, Dad,
I could show you
lots of other places!
So wait and see, won't we?
Can't rush these things.
THE BEATLES: Money
The best things in life are free
But you can keep them
for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
What on earth is he up to now?
Up to, dear?
He's taking an extraordinary
amount of time.
I'm paying him by the hour.
I think he just wants
to do a thorough job.
Yeah, I bought them off this
bloke at Ashfordly market.
From a stall?
Bloke selling them
out of a suitcase.
A real bargain.
What are you two talking about?
Nothing.
Didn't look like nothing.
Phil was just asking where
I got your earrings.
Hey, these better not be dodgy.
Of course they're not!
Would I buy you dodgy jewellery?
They're not, are they?
It's probably nothing.
METAL DETECTOR WHIRS
METAL DETECTOR WHINES
Money (Instrumental Break)
Money don't get everything,
it's true
But what it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
It would be a loan, Joyce.
I'll pay you back a bit each week.
Terry shouldn't talk to
you about my troubles.
He's a good boy, Molly.
And you spoil him rotten.
And what about that
husband of yours?
Is he still hanging about
like a bad smell?
Yeah.
He's no good for you.
I thought he left
the both of you
before he went into
prison his last time.
He did.
The truth is,
I don't know why he's come back.
He's not interested in me.
He just keeps on asking
me about this place.
Get rid of him.
He's no good, and you know it.
Now then.
Oh yeah. I've got summat
I think might interest you.
Here. What do you make of that?
It's Roman.
I thought it might be.
You get them turning up
round here from time to time.
This must be the
emperor of the period.
Fascinating.
But how much do you think it's worth?
Well, it's bronze.
Quite a small denomination.
Half a crown.
Seeing as it's you,
you can have it for three bob.
I'm not going any higher
than half a crown.
Seeing as it's me, I'll take it.
Where did you say you found it?
Er, oh, oh Up on my land.
There may well be others.
The Romans had bad inflation.
The coins will become worthless
and they just chucked 'em away.
You really think there
might be a few more then?
Oh aye. They're sometimes
found in large hoards.
Are they? Right, well, I'll er
I'll probably be back.
Well, I spoke to Steve
about those earrings, Sarge.
Oh, aye?
Yeah, he bought them off a
bloke on Ashfordly market.
He was selling 'em
out of a suitcase.
Right. We'll get someone
down there straight away.
That's the station master.
One of the drivers are seeing
some people on the line
about a mile south of the station.
Terry Ainsworth and
his mates, I'll bet.
I thought you warned those kids
to keep away from there, Rowan.
Yeah, I did, sarge.
Well it's obvious they haven't
taken a blind bit of notice!
Now you two, get down there
now and catch them at it.
BOTH: Right, sarge.
They've got enough warnings.
Well, we'll leave the chasing around
to the younger members of the
constabulary, eh, Ventress?
Very sensible, sarge.
I don't think my legs have
quite the turn of speed
you seemed to need these days.
You're not past it yet.
You might not think so.
But I am due for retirement
in a few months' time.
And that means officially that
I'm considered to be 'past it'.
Well, it's nice to put your feet up.
Enjoy a well-earned rest.
You'll find plenty to do, will you,
when your time comes?
Oh, yes, sarge.
You might say that my career has
been building towards retirement.
Hm.
Well, I don't feel like that.
The police force means
a great deal to me.
I'm even considering putting
in for an extension of service.
Really, sarge?
Well, in some ways, I know police
work is a young man's game, but
what officers of my
age lack in speed,
we can make up for in other ways.
The wisdom of experience.
Seems a shame to waste
it in your case, sarge.
That's the way I feel.
I'm not ready to be
put out to grass.
Not just yet.
Anyway, you get down to
the market in the morning.
And see if you can track down
that street trader with a suitcase.
Right, sarge.
I'll do it first thing.
Here. Is that them?
Yeah, could be.
Oi! Wait there!
CAR DRIVES OFF
Well, that don't sound
like kids to me.
Morning, Sergeant.
Miss Weston.
I hope I'm not intruding.
No.
Can I make you a cup of tea?
Well, that's very hospitable,
but no, thanks.
- Morning, sarge.
- Excuse me.
Well Rowan, what
happened last night?
Did you manage to catch young
Ainsworth and his mates?
Well, actually no.
I don't think it was kids.
Playing on railway lines is not
a grown-up recreation, Rowan.
Whoever it was drove off in a car.
Oh
I didn't get a good look at them,
but I'm pretty sure
there were three men.
Well, whoever they were,
I want them stopped.
Our failure to deal with this problem
is becoming an embarrassment.
Oh, by the way,
how are you managing around
here without your Auntie Eileen?
Jo's on half term at the moment,
so she's looking after Katie.
Not staying the night, I take it?
Which, I needn't remind you,
would be in breach of
your conditions of service.
The police house only being
intended for you and your family.
Well, that does makes things a bit
difficult in practical terms, sarge.
Difficult or not, Rowan,
those are the rules.
Now Miss Weston will be
free to move in with you
after you've tied the knot.
Yes, sarge.
But I'm nowhere near
finished, Mr. Thompson.
That's all right.
We can manage from here.
You've done most of it.
I know, but, there must
be summat else I can do?
I mean these roses
they need whatsiting.
My wife takes care of that.
Colin. We do need the lawn
trimmed and rollered.
Mr. Greengrass could
do it whilst we're away.
We're off to my sister's
for a couple of days.
That'd be perfect.
Sorry?
What? Oh, I was thinking,
I've got a trimmer and a roller.
So I could use them to sort of
trim it and roll it.
(MOUTHS)
The whole thing is absurd.
Doesn't he realise how
difficult it is for you?
We just have to be a
bit careful, that's all.
Make sure he doesn't
see you here at night.
So you think I should stay?
Yeah.
As long as you don't answer
the door in your dressing gown.
So, we're off to the
funfair, aren't we?
Well, don't have too much candyfloss
and watch her on the roundabout,
cos she gets a bit dizzy.
Nick, stop worrying.
Talk about an overprotective father.
I'm allowed to be, aren't I.
Have fun.
Right, come on, ladies!
Treat yourselves.
Get your genuine mink earrings.
You've got your cravats!
You've got your ???
Come on, ladies, treat yourselves!
Genuine mink on sale here.
All quality goods!
All the rage!
What about you, constable?
After something for t'wife?
Uh, no thanks.
Who makes these for you?
A bloke in Leeds.
Got a name for him?
Er, Bill or Bob or summat.
It'll come to me in a minute.
You know, they're quality
goods, you know.
I tell you what.
You can have these.
On the house.
It's not my style, really.
I tell you what.
I'll borrow one of these,
if you don't mind.
Borrow it?
Yes, we've had theft of
mink from a local furrier.
Seems you can't remember
your supplier's name,
I'll just check out
if this isn't stolen.
All right, constable.
Can I go with you, Dad?
Not this time.
I've got a spot of business to do.
What business?
Are you going away?
No! No, I'll be back.
Don't worry. Mind out the way.
When? Tonight?
No, not tonight. Maybe in a bit.
See how it goes, eh?
- I thought you were staying.
- Don't be a pain, Terry!
Dad!
BERNARD CRIBBINS:
Hole In The Ground
Don't dig there
Dig it elsewhere
You're digging it round
and it ought to be square
The shape of it's wrong,
it's much too long
And you can't put a hole
where a hole don't belong
'I ask you, what a liberty, eh?'
'You need bashing round the bowler'
Well, there was I stood in me hole
Shovelling earth for
all that I was worth
There was him
Standing up there
So grand and official
With his nose in the air ♪
So you've seen this
pelt before, have you?
Yes.
Well, surely you don't
remember every one.
No. But that's a homozygous pelt.
See the markings? It's quite rare.
I can even remember who
was working on it, and all.
Joyce Elcott.
That doesn't prove
that she stole it.
It can't have been anybody else.
She was supposed to be
machining it into the coat.
It'd never have been a
separate pelt after that.
Well, let's get
Mrs. Elcott in here, Rowan.
Let's go!
Hole In The Ground
(Instrumental)
Hey up, Bernie! What about this?
Are you coming?
You're not going to use that.
I ain't got time to dig
them all up by hand, have I.
What if someone sees you?
I'm supposed to be up
there, ain't I, gardening.
Not with one of them, you're not.
All right, then. Landscaping.
- What's going on?
- Don't worry.
It wasn't you pinch
the mink, was it?
Caught red-handed.
We needed the money.
Is that where the rent money?
Were you part of this,
Mrs. Ainsworth?
She knew nothing about it.
Nothing. And that's the truth.
So what's all this
about rent money?
I helped her out. But she had no
idea where it were coming from.
Is that why you stole the pelt?
I had to do something.
She was going to be evicted.
Oh, Joyce
If that no good husband of
yours gave you some money,
I wouldn't have had to do it.
Anyway, it's him you should
be bothering with, not me.
Being an irresponsible father is
not a criminal offence, Mrs. Elcott.
High time it was.
Anyway, I'm not talking about that.
He's up to something.
- Isn't he?
- Joyce
Up to what?
He keeps asking
Molly about this place.
I reckoned he's
planning something.
Is this true?
I don't know.
I don't know what he's planning.
If I were you, Mrs. Ainsworth,
I'd come clean.
He won't tell me.
Well, he'll not get much here.
We've just sent some
coats up to London.
The next batch'll not
be ready for weeks.
Has Eddie been asking how
these coats are transported?
A bit.
How do you send them, Mr. Jenkins?
By rail.
I take them down to the station
and the boxes are transferred.
It's safer that way.
- Sarge.
- Hmm.
Eddie's planning on
holding up a train.
It must have been him I
saw on the track last night.
Come on!
Don't be frightened of it.
Get in there!
Come on, Bernie!
What are you frightened of?
Go on. You're all right.
It'll knock some sense into you.
What's going on?
Behave yourself and
you won't get hurt!
Get out!
- Stay!
- All right! All right!
- Keys!
- I don't have them!
Keys to the goods compartment!
They don't give them us.
We've got a valuable load.
Only they keep them at either ends!
Get the cutter. Move it!
How long ago would
the train have left?
Twelve minutes.
Even if you're right, Rowan,
this could be happening
anywhere along the line.
There only so many places
with road access, sarge.
Did he talk about
the railway at all?
No. He just asked how the coats
were sent from the factory.
And you told him?
Well, he's got a way
of asking things.
I didn't know he
was planning this.
Terry knows the railway
like the back of his hand.
Did he talk to him about it?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, he did.
He took Terry on the
train the other day.
It's the first time they've
done anything together.
Terry couldn't stop
talking about it.
Where did they go?
All over.
They were train spotting.
Oh, but Terry usually goes to
the bridge on Coombe Lane.
That'd be a good place, sarge.
We'll try it.
That's all we've got time for.
Ventress, get onto Division.
We need some back-up.
We don't know whether they're armed.
Out.
Faster!
Hold it steady!
One!
- Two.
- Right, we're in! Move!
Come on.
We haven't got all day!
Come on!
Sarge! It's them.
Go on! Get down there!
Police. Back!
Bellamy, move it!
- What are you doing?
- Get the train moving!
I'll do it! I'll do it!
Go!
Get out of the way!
Hey! What's going on?
What's happening? What's going on?
Don't worry, madam.
Delta Alpha 2-1 to Control.
Ventress, now listen.
Bellamy and Rowan are on the train.
Understood, sarge.
Which direction are they heading?
"To Ashfordly junction."
I'm going to follow by road. Out.
Stay there!
Where's the other one?
I don't know. He was here.
Well, where did he go?
I don't know.
Looked around and he wasn't there.
That's why I stopped.
We've lost one, Phil!
What? Well, he can't
have come past us!
Check the roof!
Nothing!
It's not Ainsworth.
He must have jumped.
Well, he can't have gone far.
He could've jumped anywhere
along this stretch, sarge.
He's probably injured.
You don't jump off a train at
50mph and walk away from it.
Well, I intend to find him before I have
to explain to the Superintendent
how we let him slipped
through our fingers.
It wasn't like that, sarge.
So, how would you
describe it, Rowan?
It's an embarrassment to
Ashfordly Police station.
And it's not going to help my
extension application much either.
Nick. Is that you?
Yeah.
Did you find him?
No. We're calling it a night.
We'll start again tomorrow,
crack of dawn.
He'll be miles away
by then, won't he.
Well, for all we know,
he could be unconscious on the
side of the track somewhere.
Poor Terry. No sooner is his dad
home, than he's hijacking trains.
Daddy?
What are you doing up?
Come and see my goldfish.
She won it at the funfair.
We had a really good day, Nick.
You go to bed, sweetheart.
I'll be up in a minute.
I've been trying to get her
to settle down all evening.
Probably too much excitement.
Well, I'm sorry, Nick.
I'm doing my best.
I'll go and see to her.
No, I'll go.
Fine. You go.
Jo
Listen to yourself.
You pick me up on everything
that I do with Katie.
That's not true.
Oh, isn't it?
If it is, then I'm sorry.
I think you're doing
a great job with Katie.
I don't mean to
be overprotective.
I just worry, I suppose.
Come on, let's both go up.
No. You go.
It's her dad she really wants.
A couple more.
We ought to tell them
you know, Claude.
It might be worth a lot of money.
What you talking about?
Well, the Dobsons.
If it's on their land,
then it belongs to them, legally like.
Legally like?
You know what you're talking?
Because legally like,
it belongs to the nation.
And if we did the right thing,
we'd take it to a museum
see if they want to buy it.
The Dobsons should get
the money, shouldn't they?
Otherwise, it's stealing.
Finders is keepers and
possession is nine parts
of the any law you've
got to bother about.
Shall we start putting it back then?
No, no. I wanna come further
down here and go across there.
What for?
Well, there's got to be an
hoard here somewhere.
I mean, we can't just
leave it, can we?
But it's their lawn!
Only the top!
I don't know what
you're worrying about.
Come on.
They've checked all
the local farms, sarge.
No-one's seen a thing.
Have we still got men posted
on both the main roads?
Yeah.
And at the bus and train stations.
Right, I'm gonna get Ainsworth
if it's the last thing I do.
METAL DETECTOR WHINES
You got summat?
Er, possibly.
Give me your whatsit.
Let's listen.
Waggle it about.
Hey, hey. Hey, that sounds.
That could be it.
You can't dig here, Claude.
That's alright.
We'll put the turf back later.
But But But you can't.
It's a five minute job.
They won't see the joint.
Keep waggling.
- Dad?
- Terry?
Oh, good lad.
I thought you'd come here.
Are you all right?
No. I've bust my arm.
My knee's not a
pretty sight either.
You've got to get me out of here.
The police are looking for you.
I saw them.
Where are they?
Down on the main line.
They've got dogs and everything.
Tell your mum she's gonna
have to come and get me.
Can you do that?
She's gonna have
to get hold of a car.
She can borrow Joyce's.
You're a smart one, Terry.
What about the others?
Did they catch them?
I think so.
Idiots. They'll get
ten years for this.
You don't want that
happening to me, don't you?
It's all down to you.
Tell her to come quickly.
And don't let them coppers see you.
Yep?
CLANG!
Claude! I knew it.
I think you've hit something!
Tell me summat I don't know!
Well, don't just stand there!
Do summat!
Like what?
Terry. What are you doing here?
You've got to come and get him.
What are you on about?
I found him. He's hurt.
Where is he?
In the old cottage where I
go sometimes. He can't walk.
You've got to borrow
Joyce's car and get him.
No, Terry. This has got
nothing to do with us.
He got himself into this mess.
He's gonna have to
get himself out of it.
You can't just leave him there!
You've got to help him.
Terry, go home.
And don't you go and see
him again, do you hear me?
You'll get into big trouble with
the police and he's not worth it.
No wonder he hates you!
Terry!
Yes, Sergeant Blaketon, please.
It's no good, Claude.
I shall have to call the Water Board!
Well, go and do it then!
Have you got any coins?
Only the Roman ones!
I shall have to go to the pub.
Well, don't hang about.
Otherwise, I'll be floating away
by the time you get back!
Go on!
So, you've no idea
where your husband is?
Look, I'm telling you,
I don't know.
And I wouldn't help him if I did.
What about Terry?
What would he know?
He's just a kid.
Why did he come and see
you here this morning?
Well, he often comes here.
What did he want to
talk to you about?
Nothing.
Just some family business.
Eddie used Terry before to
find out about the trains.
If he's using him again,
you should tell us.
Look, I'd like to help you,
but I can't.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got work to do.
What do you think?
Well, she's not much of a liar.
She knows where he is.
I don't think she's going
to tell us though, sarge.
Shall we try Terry?
Now, you see, right as rain. I told
you there'd be no need to panic.
Claude.
- Claude.
- What?
Keep your mouth shut.
Thought you said they weren't
due back till tomorrow!
Keep it shut!
Welcome home, sir, madam.
What the devil's been going on?
No need to worry, Mr. Dobson, sir.
Everything's under control.
Matter of fact, lucky I were here,
otherwise you'd be standing
in the middle of a duck pond.
But what is all this?
What have you done to my garden?
I'm afraid you sprung a leak.
We thought it were at the back,
but it weren't, it were down here.
Couldn't you see it?
That's the trouble with leaks.
I mean, they're a
bit hard to pinpoint.
You know, cause they tend to sort
of come up, you know, from like
underneath, usually.
Hello, Terry.
What've you got in there?
Nothing.
You won't mind us
taking a look then.
I was hungry.
Come on.
You were taking this to your dad.
No. How could I be taking
it to him? He's gone.
Now, you listen to me.
We've been talking to your mother,
so don't play games with us.
Is he hurt?
No.
So you have seen him.
No! I'm not telling you
anything, so just get lost!
Sarge. Let me have a word with him.
All right.
Terry, this is very impressive,
but he doesn't deserve it.
Well, he hasn't done much
for you in the past, has he,
caring for you and your mum.
So?
He only came back cos he wants
information about the factory.
Even if it meant getting
your mum into trouble.
How do you know?
Well, that's why he
took you on the train.
He was planning where
to do the robbery.
He wasn't!
He did it at the bridge
on Coombe Lane.
That's where you went, isn't it?
Yeah, but
And now he wants
something else out of you.
I know he's your dad
He's coming back to live with us.
No, Terry. He just wanted
to steal the mink coats.
He could never have come back.
He knew we'd be waiting for him.
Is he near the railway?
Quite near.
Whereabouts?
Come on, Terry.
This cottage I go to.
Do you want to show us?
I still don't see how
could you believe
the leak was 20
yards over that way?
Over here! Look at this!
Hey, they've found summat.
It's a pot.
Careful, the bottom's loose.
They're Roman.
There's a Latin inscription.
They must be worth a fortune.
It's down there.
You two, round the back.
Terry? Is that you, son?
Go.
No!
- Stay down!
- Ainsworth, let's be having you!
Aargh! Aaargh!
Get him out of here.
Who told you? Was it Molly?
I'll have her for this!
Come on!
Come on! Let's go.
Come on.
Dad!
Terry?
You didn't bring them here?
My own flesh and blood!
How could you?!
There's a bonus in there for you.
Share in our good fortune,
so to speak.
Thank you very much
indeed, Mr. Thomson.
Very kind of you.
Nice to work for you, sir.
Ten bob? Tight-fisted swine.
That's mean, that is.
He'd never have found any of them
coins if it weren't for without us.
That's human nature, isn't it.
Just shows you can't trust anybody.
Well, we've got them
first few coins we found.
So we haven't come away
completely empty-handed, have we?
What do you mean, we?
You and me.
The coins and this don't even
cover me out-of-pocket expenses.
What out-of-pocket expenses?
What the?
That JCB's not a mirage, is it?
I suppose that means
I get nothing, as usual.
In a word.
Don't start!
I've had enough waterworks for one day.
Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
How long do you
think Eddie will get?
Seven, eight years, maybe more.
Terry will be grown up
by the time he gets out.
Yeah.
Nick. I'm sorry about yesterday.
I shouldn't have gone
off at you like that.
That's okay.
I expect you were right.
Evening, Rowan.
Hello, sarge.
Just to let you know,
I had words with Mr. Jenkins
and he's decided not to press
charges against Joyce Elcott.
Well, that's good.
So, I'll recommend to HQ
that we drop the case.
I just thought you might like to go
round there, give her the good news.
Well, yeah, I will.
Yeah, I was just about to run Jo home,
so I'll drop in on the way back.
Well, don't worry on my account.
I've told you the rules.
Antiquated as they may be.
And if you wish to
interpret them flexibly
then that's a matter for you.
Well, thanks, sarge.
So, I can stay after all?
Well, I think that's what he said.
I'm a bit surprised,
I have to admit.
He must be mellowing in his old age.
They say it's never too late.

Hey, just a minute.
Come here.
No, you don't!
Come here!
Stop him! Stop him!
As the miller told his tale
So, what exactly has
been stolen, Mr. Jenkins?
Offcuts.
Not whole pelts?
No, no. Smaller pieces.
We use the whole skin, apart
from the head, paws and flanks.
And what happens to these scraps?
We sell them on to firms that
make mink accessories.
Not for a lot, I grant you,
but nothing's wasted.
I wouldn't get too
attached to that, Rowan.
Not on your salary.
How much these cost in the shops?
About twelve hundred pounds.
Twelve hundred?
What's Jenkins got
the police in for?
He thinks someone's
stealing his precious mink.
I hope he's not
accusing any of us.
Well, you know what he's like.
Are you staying late tonight?
Yeah. I need the overtime.
Well, I'll stay late with you, love.
I've got to get these
coats finished anyway.
And you know what they say:
misery loves company.
Terry!
Dad?
Where you've been, then?
Train spotting?
What is it with you and trains, eh?
Tell you what, go for a
ride tomorrow if you like.
Really?
Have a day out, just us two.
Holiday treat.
Brilliant!
Your mum's still not back.
She's always working late.
Then she's got to come home
and clean up after you, eh.
What a woman.
Didn't know how good I had it.
Are you going to
stay this time, Dad?
Why? Would you like that?
I don't think your mam
will let me, to tell the truth.
This is just till I get
back on my feet.
She does want you back.
I know she does.
You reckon?
That's a nice thought, Terry.
We'll have to see
how it goes, eh?
It sounds like Eileen's
having a good time.
- Yeah. Lucky thing.
TELEPHONE RINGS
Hello?
Hi. Yes, he is.
Sergeant Blaketon.
Hello, sarge.
Well, did he get the boy's name?
Oh, not again.
Yeah, I'll go and
have a word with him.
Okay.
Terry Ainsworth. Again.
What is it this time?
Playing on the line again?
Fare dodging.
I've had more trouble
with him this half term
than all the other
kids put together.
He's not had it easy Nick,
what with his dad
in and out of prison.
Yeah, but the way he's going,
he'll end up the same way.
Bye, darling.
Your supper will be ready
when you get back.
Oh, I could get used to this.
Maybe we should make this
a permanent arrangement.
Oh, you think so, do you?
Bye, then.
Go and look somewhere else.
Still here, Mr. Greengrass?
You certainly put in
a good day's work.
I believe in value
for money, Madam.
It's going to look wonderful
when it's all tidied up.
Don't suppose there's
been any sign of my ring?
Ring? Oh, oh no, no.
No, I'm afraid not.
I'm sure I lost it when I was down
at this end of the garden.
Is it valuable, is it?
Oh, yes.
It's got a five diamond cluster.
Belonged to my mother.
Oh, well. If it's got a bit of that,
I'll definitely keep my eye open.
If you'll excuse me, I'd better
The station master said it's
the second time this week.
He's a liar. I did buy a ticket.
With what? Cause I haven't
given you any money.
Savings!
So why didn't you show
it to the ticket collector?
I was in a hurry.
If this happens again,
you'll end up in court.
Do you hear that?
Is that what you want?
Hello, Eddie.
Why don't you leave the
kid alone, constable?
You've got nothing better to do?
Stay out of it, Eddie.
I'm his father, aren't I?
Are you not concern he could
end up in juvenile court.
Go on, Eddie, get out of it,
if you're not going to be any help.
Look, I know it's difficult, but the
station master won't tolerate this.
And neither's my sergeant.
Right.
Leave it with me.
I'll read him the riot act.
Again.
I thought we talked
about this last time, Terry.
Yeah, and you said you
weren't going to drop me in it.
And you said you were going
to stop messing around.
No more playing on the lines
and no more fare dodging.
- I have stopped.
- Have you?
Well, I haven't been
doing it much.
How is it that everytime
we agree on something,
the next thing I know,
you're back doing it again?
You, inside! Now.
There you go.
Hiya, Phil.
A pint when you've got
a minute please, Gina.
Ah those new aren't they,
those earrings?
Yeah. Steve bought them for me.
They're lovely, aren't they.
He's a little sweetheart.
Very nice, yeah. Must be love.
I bet they looked
better on the ferret.
They're mink, Claude.
Ah. You're right.
It must be love.
I'll get these, Claude.
What's gone wrong with you?
Somebody left you in their will?
A bit of unexpected business.
Sold that van I've had sitting
on the forecourt for ages.
That load of rubbish?
What did you get for it, ninepence?
Ten quid, two crates of cider,
and a metal detector.
Is the cider any good?
Hmm, not bad.
I'll let you have a few bottles at
a knockdown price, if you like.
Not a chance.
What about the metal detector?
Is it working?
He said it was.
I might borrow it.
Do a bit of field test on it for you.
Oh, aye? What are you
after, buried treasure?
You never know your luck.
Rent man came round today.
What did he say?
Told me to remind you that
you've got till the end of the week.
He said you'd know what he meant.
I'm twelve quid in arrears.
He's going to evict
us if I don't pay.
Well, you're earning money.
It's a pittance.
Hardly enough to put
food on the table.
Can't you help us out?
Me?
Terry's your son, Eddie!
You've not paid a penny for
his keep these last two years!
That would've been difficult
when I were banged up.
Why don't you get yourself a job?
Look, I don't want you here if
you're just sponging off me!
Working for a living never
was my style, Molly.
Why have you come
back here anyway?
What do you want?
I came back for you, love.
You and Terry.
You are my family, after all.
I don't believe you!
You were never
interested in us before!
Look, what's going on, Eddie?
I want to know!
KEY IN DOOR
- Hello, Terry. You here again?
- Yeah.
- You all right?
- Ya.
Here. A treat for you.
Don't I get a thank you?
Thank you.
Summat else for you.
Don't spend it all at once.
Thanks, Joyce.
Oh, it's not much.
Just a bit of pocket money.
I'll give it to Mum.
She can't pay the rent.
Has that collector
been round again?
Yeah. We're going to get kicked
out if she don't pay it all off.
And Dad won't give her anything.
No surprises there.
Don't you fret about
the rent money, Terry.
It will sort itself out, somehow.
WHISTLE BLOWS
There. The signal! I told you!
So, where's the next one?
Bet you can't tell me that.
Before the road bridge just up here!
Then there's one before the station!
And one before the level crossing.
This bridge, is that a
good place to watch?
Yeah, it is.
We could go down there, if you like,
do a bit of train spotting.
Yeah! And I can show you
my den where I always go.
When exactly did this happen?
Did you have a word with young
Ainworth's mother last night, Rowan?
I did, sarge, yeah. And his dad.
Looks like Eddie's
back on the scene.
I thought he was still inside
for that post office job.
He was released on parole
a couple of weeks ago.
Right. I'll pass it on. Bye.
That was Mr. Jenkins from De Vere's.
He says a whole mink
pelt's gone missing.
When?
Well, he says it could be anytime
yesterday or overnight.
But there was no
sign of a break-in.
So, we'll have to talk
to the night watchman,
the cleaners and the machinists.
Rowan, do you reckon Molly Ainsworth's
capable of something like this?
She's never been in
trouble before, sarge.
Well, Eddie could be
putting her up to it.
Possible.
Gina was wearing
mink earrings yesterday.
Mink earrings?
Yeah, her friend Steve
gave them her.
Yeah, that could be
the sort of things
the stolen offcuts are
being used for, sarge.
Especially the ???
Well, it's worth a try I suppose.
Bellamy, see if you can find out
where he bought them from.
Yes, sarge.
Hey! Real Aladdin's Cave!
- Do you like it?
- Yeah!
So how far's that road
bridge from here?
Not far. I know a short cut.
- Seen this?
- Where's that from?
The station.
No wonder the station
master loves you.
Hey, come on.
Let's get up that bridge.
Fancy watching a few trains.
If you come back for good, Dad,
I could show you
lots of other places!
So wait and see, won't we?
Can't rush these things.

Up to, dear?
He's taking an extraordinary
amount of time.
I'm paying him by the hour.
I think he just wants
to do a thorough job.
Yeah, I bought them off this
bloke at Ashfordly market.
From a stall?
Bloke selling them
out of a suitcase.
A real bargain.
What are you two talking about?
Nothing.
Didn't look like nothing.
Phil was just asking where
I got your earrings.
Hey, these better not be dodgy.
Of course they're not!
Would I buy you dodgy jewellery?
They're not, are they?
It's probably nothing.

It would be a loan, Joyce.
I'll pay you back a bit each week.
Terry shouldn't talk to
you about my troubles.
He's a good boy, Molly.
And you spoil him rotten.
And what about that
husband of yours?
Is he still hanging about
like a bad smell?
Yeah.
He's no good for you.
I thought he left
the both of you
before he went into
prison his last time.
He did.
The truth is,
I don't know why he's come back.
He's not interested in me.
He just keeps on asking
me about this place.
Get rid of him.
He's no good, and you know it.
Now then.
Oh yeah. I've got summat
I think might interest you.
Here. What do you make of that?
It's Roman.
I thought it might be.
You get them turning up
round here from time to time.
This must be the
emperor of the period.
Fascinating.
But how much do you think it's worth?
Well, it's bronze.
Quite a small denomination.
Half a crown.
Seeing as it's you,
you can have it for three bob.
I'm not going any higher
than half a crown.
Seeing as it's me, I'll take it.
Where did you say you found it?
Er, oh, oh Up on my land.
There may well be others.
The Romans had bad inflation.
The coins will become worthless
and they just chucked 'em away.
You really think there
might be a few more then?
Oh aye. They're sometimes
found in large hoards.
Are they? Right, well, I'll er
I'll probably be back.
Well, I spoke to Steve
about those earrings, Sarge.
Oh, aye?
Yeah, he bought them off a
bloke on Ashfordly market.
He was selling 'em
out of a suitcase.
Right. We'll get someone
down there straight away.
That's the station master.
One of the drivers are seeing
some people on the line
about a mile south of the station.
Terry Ainsworth and
his mates, I'll bet.
I thought you warned those kids
to keep away from there, Rowan.
Yeah, I did, sarge.
Well it's obvious they haven't
taken a blind bit of notice!
Now you two, get down there
now and catch them at it.
BOTH: Right, sarge.
They've got enough warnings.
Well, we'll leave the chasing around
to the younger members of the
constabulary, eh, Ventress?
Very sensible, sarge.
I don't think my legs have
quite the turn of speed
you seemed to need these days.
You're not past it yet.
You might not think so.
But I am due for retirement
in a few months' time.
And that means officially that
I'm considered to be 'past it'.
Well, it's nice to put your feet up.
Enjoy a well-earned rest.
You'll find plenty to do, will you,
when your time comes?
Oh, yes, sarge.
You might say that my career has
been building towards retirement.
Hm.
Well, I don't feel like that.
The police force means
a great deal to me.
I'm even considering putting
in for an extension of service.
Really, sarge?
Well, in some ways, I know police
work is a young man's game, but
what officers of my
age lack in speed,
we can make up for in other ways.
The wisdom of experience.
Seems a shame to waste
it in your case, sarge.
That's the way I feel.
I'm not ready to be
put out to grass.
Not just yet.
Anyway, you get down to
the market in the morning.
And see if you can track down
that street trader with a suitcase.
Right, sarge.
I'll do it first thing.
Here. Is that them?
Yeah, could be.
Oi! Wait there!
CAR DRIVES OFF
Well, that don't sound
like kids to me.
Morning, Sergeant.
Miss Weston.
I hope I'm not intruding.
No.
Can I make you a cup of tea?
Well, that's very hospitable,
but no, thanks.
- Morning, sarge.
- Excuse me.
Well Rowan, what
happened last night?
Did you manage to catch young
Ainsworth and his mates?
Well, actually no.
I don't think it was kids.
Playing on railway lines is not
a grown-up recreation, Rowan.
Whoever it was drove off in a car.
Oh
I didn't get a good look at them,
but I'm pretty sure
there were three men.
Well, whoever they were,
I want them stopped.
Our failure to deal with this problem
is becoming an embarrassment.
Oh, by the way,
how are you managing around
here without your Auntie Eileen?
Jo's on half term at the moment,
so she's looking after Katie.
Not staying the night, I take it?
Which, I needn't remind you,
would be in breach of
your conditions of service.
The police house only being
intended for you and your family.
Well, that does makes things a bit
difficult in practical terms, sarge.
Difficult or not, Rowan,
those are the rules.
Now Miss Weston will be
free to move in with you
after you've tied the knot.
Yes, sarge.
But I'm nowhere near
finished, Mr. Thompson.
That's all right.
We can manage from here.
You've done most of it.
I know, but, there must
be summat else I can do?
I mean these roses
they need whatsiting.
My wife takes care of that.
Colin. We do need the lawn
trimmed and rollered.
Mr. Greengrass could
do it whilst we're away.
We're off to my sister's
for a couple of days.
That'd be perfect.
Sorry?
What? Oh, I was thinking,
I've got a trimmer and a roller.
So I could use them to sort of
trim it and roll it.
(MOUTHS)
The whole thing is absurd.
Doesn't he realise how
difficult it is for you?
We just have to be a
bit careful, that's all.
Make sure he doesn't
see you here at night.
So you think I should stay?
Yeah.
As long as you don't answer
the door in your dressing gown.
So, we're off to the
funfair, aren't we?
Well, don't have too much candyfloss
and watch her on the roundabout,
cos she gets a bit dizzy.
Nick, stop worrying.
Talk about an overprotective father.
I'm allowed to be, aren't I.
Have fun.
Right, come on, ladies!
Treat yourselves.
Get your genuine mink earrings.
You've got your cravats!
You've got your ???
Come on, ladies, treat yourselves!
Genuine mink on sale here.
All quality goods!
All the rage!
What about you, constable?
After something for t'wife?
Uh, no thanks.
Who makes these for you?
A bloke in Leeds.
Got a name for him?
Er, Bill or Bob or summat.
It'll come to me in a minute.
You know, they're quality
goods, you know.
I tell you what.
You can have these.
On the house.
It's not my style, really.
I tell you what.
I'll borrow one of these,
if you don't mind.
Borrow it?
Yes, we've had theft of
mink from a local furrier.
Seems you can't remember
your supplier's name,
I'll just check out
if this isn't stolen.
All right, constable.
Can I go with you, Dad?
Not this time.
I've got a spot of business to do.
What business?
Are you going away?
No! No, I'll be back.
Don't worry. Mind out the way.
When? Tonight?
No, not tonight. Maybe in a bit.
See how it goes, eh?
- I thought you were staying.
- Don't be a pain, Terry!
Dad!
BERNARD CRIBBINS:
Hole In The Ground
Don't dig there
Dig it elsewhere
You're digging it round
and it ought to be square
The shape of it's wrong,
it's much too long
And you can't put a hole
where a hole don't belong
'I ask you, what a liberty, eh?'
'You need bashing round the bowler'
Well, there was I stood in me hole
Shovelling earth for
all that I was worth
There was him
Standing up there
So grand and official
With his nose in the air ♪
So you've seen this
pelt before, have you?
Yes.
Well, surely you don't
remember every one.
No. But that's a homozygous pelt.
See the markings? It's quite rare.
I can even remember who
was working on it, and all.
Joyce Elcott.
That doesn't prove
that she stole it.
It can't have been anybody else.
She was supposed to be
machining it into the coat.
It'd never have been a
separate pelt after that.
Well, let's get
Mrs. Elcott in here, Rowan.
Let's go!
Hole In The Ground
(Instrumental)
Hey up, Bernie! What about this?
Are you coming?
You're not going to use that.
I ain't got time to dig
them all up by hand, have I.
What if someone sees you?
I'm supposed to be up
there, ain't I, gardening.
Not with one of them, you're not.
All right, then. Landscaping.
- What's going on?
- Don't worry.
It wasn't you pinch
the mink, was it?
Caught red-handed.
We needed the money.
Is that where the rent money?
Were you part of this,
Mrs. Ainsworth?
She knew nothing about it.
Nothing. And that's the truth.
So what's all this
about rent money?
I helped her out. But she had no
idea where it were coming from.
Is that why you stole the pelt?
I had to do something.
She was going to be evicted.
Oh, Joyce
If that no good husband of
yours gave you some money,
I wouldn't have had to do it.
Anyway, it's him you should
be bothering with, not me.
Being an irresponsible father is
not a criminal offence, Mrs. Elcott.
High time it was.
Anyway, I'm not talking about that.
He's up to something.
- Isn't he?
- Joyce
Up to what?
He keeps asking
Molly about this place.
I reckoned he's
planning something.
Is this true?
I don't know.
I don't know what he's planning.
If I were you, Mrs. Ainsworth,
I'd come clean.
He won't tell me.
Well, he'll not get much here.
We've just sent some
coats up to London.
The next batch'll not
be ready for weeks.
Has Eddie been asking how
these coats are transported?
A bit.
How do you send them, Mr. Jenkins?
By rail.
I take them down to the station
and the boxes are transferred.
It's safer that way.
- Sarge.
- Hmm.
Eddie's planning on
holding up a train.
It must have been him I
saw on the track last night.
Come on!
Don't be frightened of it.
Get in there!
Come on, Bernie!
What are you frightened of?
Go on. You're all right.
It'll knock some sense into you.
What's going on?
Behave yourself and
you won't get hurt!
Get out!
- Stay!
- All right! All right!
- Keys!
- I don't have them!
Keys to the goods compartment!
They don't give them us.
We've got a valuable load.
Only they keep them at either ends!
Get the cutter. Move it!
How long ago would
the train have left?
Twelve minutes.
Even if you're right, Rowan,
this could be happening
anywhere along the line.
There only so many places
with road access, sarge.
Did he talk about
the railway at all?
No. He just asked how the coats
were sent from the factory.
And you told him?
Well, he's got a way
of asking things.
I didn't know he
was planning this.
Terry knows the railway
like the back of his hand.
Did he talk to him about it?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, he did.
He took Terry on the
train the other day.
It's the first time they've
done anything together.
Terry couldn't stop
talking about it.
Where did they go?
All over.
They were train spotting.
Oh, but Terry usually goes to
the bridge on Coombe Lane.
That'd be a good place, sarge.
We'll try it.
That's all we've got time for.
Ventress, get onto Division.
We need some back-up.
We don't know whether they're armed.
Out.
Faster!
Hold it steady!
One!
- Two.
- Right, we're in! Move!
Come on.
We haven't got all day!
Come on!
Sarge! It's them.
Go on! Get down there!
Police. Back!
Bellamy, move it!
- What are you doing?
- Get the train moving!
I'll do it! I'll do it!
Go!
Get out of the way!
Hey! What's going on?
What's happening? What's going on?
Don't worry, madam.
Delta Alpha 2-1 to Control.
Ventress, now listen.
Bellamy and Rowan are on the train.
Understood, sarge.
Which direction are they heading?
"To Ashfordly junction."
I'm going to follow by road. Out.
Stay there!
Where's the other one?
I don't know. He was here.
Well, where did he go?
I don't know.
Looked around and he wasn't there.
That's why I stopped.
We've lost one, Phil!
What? Well, he can't
have come past us!
Check the roof!
Nothing!
It's not Ainsworth.
He must have jumped.
Well, he can't have gone far.
He could've jumped anywhere
along this stretch, sarge.
He's probably injured.
You don't jump off a train at
50mph and walk away from it.
Well, I intend to find him before I have
to explain to the Superintendent
how we let him slipped
through our fingers.
It wasn't like that, sarge.
So, how would you
describe it, Rowan?
It's an embarrassment to
Ashfordly Police station.
And it's not going to help my
extension application much either.
Nick. Is that you?
Yeah.
Did you find him?
No. We're calling it a night.
We'll start again tomorrow,
crack of dawn.
He'll be miles away
by then, won't he.
Well, for all we know,
he could be unconscious on the
side of the track somewhere.
Poor Terry. No sooner is his dad
home, than he's hijacking trains.
Daddy?
What are you doing up?
Come and see my goldfish.
She won it at the funfair.
We had a really good day, Nick.
You go to bed, sweetheart.
I'll be up in a minute.
I've been trying to get her
to settle down all evening.
Probably too much excitement.
Well, I'm sorry, Nick.
I'm doing my best.
I'll go and see to her.
No, I'll go.
Fine. You go.
Jo
Listen to yourself.
You pick me up on everything
that I do with Katie.
That's not true.
Oh, isn't it?
If it is, then I'm sorry.
I think you're doing
a great job with Katie.
I don't mean to
be overprotective.
I just worry, I suppose.
Come on, let's both go up.
No. You go.
It's her dad she really wants.
A couple more.
We ought to tell them
you know, Claude.
It might be worth a lot of money.
What you talking about?
Well, the Dobsons.
If it's on their land,
then it belongs to them, legally like.
Legally like?
You know what you're talking?
Because legally like,
it belongs to the nation.
And if we did the right thing,
we'd take it to a museum
see if they want to buy it.
The Dobsons should get
the money, shouldn't they?
Otherwise, it's stealing.
Finders is keepers and
possession is nine parts
of the any law you've
got to bother about.
Shall we start putting it back then?
No, no. I wanna come further
down here and go across there.
What for?
Well, there's got to be an
hoard here somewhere.
I mean, we can't just
leave it, can we?
But it's their lawn!
Only the top!
I don't know what
you're worrying about.
Come on.
They've checked all
the local farms, sarge.
No-one's seen a thing.
Have we still got men posted
on both the main roads?
Yeah.
And at the bus and train stations.
Right, I'm gonna get Ainsworth
if it's the last thing I do.
METAL DETECTOR WHINES
You got summat?
Er, possibly.
Give me your whatsit.
Let's listen.
Waggle it about.
Hey, hey. Hey, that sounds.
That could be it.
You can't dig here, Claude.
That's alright.
We'll put the turf back later.
But But But you can't.
It's a five minute job.
They won't see the joint.
Keep waggling.
- Dad?
- Terry?
Oh, good lad.
I thought you'd come here.
Are you all right?
No. I've bust my arm.
My knee's not a
pretty sight either.
You've got to get me out of here.
The police are looking for you.
I saw them.
Where are they?
Down on the main line.
They've got dogs and everything.
Tell your mum she's gonna
have to come and get me.
Can you do that?
She's gonna have
to get hold of a car.
She can borrow Joyce's.
You're a smart one, Terry.
What about the others?
Did they catch them?
I think so.
Idiots. They'll get
ten years for this.
You don't want that
happening to me, don't you?
It's all down to you.
Tell her to come quickly.
And don't let them coppers see you.
Yep?
CLANG!
Claude! I knew it.
I think you've hit something!
Tell me summat I don't know!
Well, don't just stand there!
Do summat!
Like what?
Terry. What are you doing here?
You've got to come and get him.
What are you on about?
I found him. He's hurt.
Where is he?
In the old cottage where I
go sometimes. He can't walk.
You've got to borrow
Joyce's car and get him.
No, Terry. This has got
nothing to do with us.
He got himself into this mess.
He's gonna have to
get himself out of it.
You can't just leave him there!
You've got to help him.
Terry, go home.
And don't you go and see
him again, do you hear me?
You'll get into big trouble with
the police and he's not worth it.
No wonder he hates you!
Terry!
Yes, Sergeant Blaketon, please.
It's no good, Claude.
I shall have to call the Water Board!
Well, go and do it then!
Have you got any coins?
Only the Roman ones!
I shall have to go to the pub.
Well, don't hang about.
Otherwise, I'll be floating away
by the time you get back!
Go on!
So, you've no idea
where your husband is?
Look, I'm telling you,
I don't know.
And I wouldn't help him if I did.
What about Terry?
What would he know?
He's just a kid.
Why did he come and see
you here this morning?
Well, he often comes here.
What did he want to
talk to you about?
Nothing.
Just some family business.
Eddie used Terry before to
find out about the trains.
If he's using him again,
you should tell us.
Look, I'd like to help you,
but I can't.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got work to do.
What do you think?
Well, she's not much of a liar.
She knows where he is.
I don't think she's going
to tell us though, sarge.
Shall we try Terry?
Now, you see, right as rain. I told
you there'd be no need to panic.
Claude.
- Claude.
- What?
Keep your mouth shut.
Thought you said they weren't
due back till tomorrow!
Keep it shut!
Welcome home, sir, madam.
What the devil's been going on?
No need to worry, Mr. Dobson, sir.
Everything's under control.
Matter of fact, lucky I were here,
otherwise you'd be standing
in the middle of a duck pond.
But what is all this?
What have you done to my garden?
I'm afraid you sprung a leak.
We thought it were at the back,
but it weren't, it were down here.
Couldn't you see it?
That's the trouble with leaks.
I mean, they're a
bit hard to pinpoint.
You know, cause they tend to sort
of come up, you know, from like
underneath, usually.
Hello, Terry.
What've you got in there?
Nothing.
You won't mind us
taking a look then.
I was hungry.
Come on.
You were taking this to your dad.
No. How could I be taking
it to him? He's gone.
Now, you listen to me.
We've been talking to your mother,
so don't play games with us.
Is he hurt?
No.
So you have seen him.
No! I'm not telling you
anything, so just get lost!
Sarge. Let me have a word with him.
All right.
Terry, this is very impressive,
but he doesn't deserve it.
Well, he hasn't done much
for you in the past, has he,
caring for you and your mum.
So?
He only came back cos he wants
information about the factory.
Even if it meant getting
your mum into trouble.
How do you know?
Well, that's why he
took you on the train.
He was planning where
to do the robbery.
He wasn't!
He did it at the bridge
on Coombe Lane.
That's where you went, isn't it?
Yeah, but
And now he wants
something else out of you.
I know he's your dad
He's coming back to live with us.
No, Terry. He just wanted
to steal the mink coats.
He could never have come back.
He knew we'd be waiting for him.
Is he near the railway?
Quite near.
Whereabouts?
Come on, Terry.
This cottage I go to.
Do you want to show us?
I still don't see how
could you believe
the leak was 20
yards over that way?
Over here! Look at this!
Hey, they've found summat.
It's a pot.
Careful, the bottom's loose.
They're Roman.
There's a Latin inscription.
They must be worth a fortune.
It's down there.
You two, round the back.
Terry? Is that you, son?
Go.
No!
- Stay down!
- Ainsworth, let's be having you!
Aargh! Aaargh!
Get him out of here.
Who told you? Was it Molly?
I'll have her for this!
Come on!
Come on! Let's go.
Come on.
Dad!
Terry?
You didn't bring them here?
My own flesh and blood!
How could you?!
There's a bonus in there for you.
Share in our good fortune,
so to speak.
Thank you very much
indeed, Mr. Thomson.
Very kind of you.
Nice to work for you, sir.
Ten bob? Tight-fisted swine.
That's mean, that is.
He'd never have found any of them
coins if it weren't for without us.
That's human nature, isn't it.
Just shows you can't trust anybody.
Well, we've got them
first few coins we found.
So we haven't come away
completely empty-handed, have we?
What do you mean, we?
You and me.
The coins and this don't even
cover me out-of-pocket expenses.
What out-of-pocket expenses?
What the?
That JCB's not a mirage, is it?
I suppose that means
I get nothing, as usual.
In a word.
Don't start!
I've had enough waterworks for one day.
Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
How long do you
think Eddie will get?
Seven, eight years, maybe more.
Terry will be grown up
by the time he gets out.
Yeah.
Nick. I'm sorry about yesterday.
I shouldn't have gone
off at you like that.
That's okay.
I expect you were right.
Evening, Rowan.
Hello, sarge.
Just to let you know,
I had words with Mr. Jenkins
and he's decided not to press
charges against Joyce Elcott.
Well, that's good.
So, I'll recommend to HQ
that we drop the case.
I just thought you might like to go
round there, give her the good news.
Well, yeah, I will.
Yeah, I was just about to run Jo home,
so I'll drop in on the way back.
Well, don't worry on my account.
I've told you the rules.
Antiquated as they may be.
And if you wish to
interpret them flexibly
then that's a matter for you.
Well, thanks, sarge.
So, I can stay after all?
Well, I think that's what he said.
I'm a bit surprised,
I have to admit.
He must be mellowing in his old age.
They say it's never too late.
