Thank you, Miss Love.

Thank you.

How very nice to meet you, Miss
Griffiths. Hello. Please come and sit

I hope you haven't been kept waiting.

No, I wasn't, thank you. Not at all.
Good.

May I offer you a cigarette?

No, thank you, Mr Beresford, but please,
if you do. No, I think I have at last

managed to give it up, after 40 years.

Now, Miss Griffiths, I want you to tell
me how you think that I can best help

you. Well, I know you're very busy, so
I've put down a brief outline of what

charity hopes to do, how we hope to do
it, and very roughly, indeed, what we

estimate the running cost will be for
the first two years.

Excellent. Thank you. I congratulate you
on your approach.

Well, now, this doesn't look very long.
I expect you'd like me to read it now.

Please.

The Hostel for Homeless Ex -Prisoners,
eh?

Well, then, Bill.

Long time, eh?

So how are you? How is it?

I'm well, sir. Thank you. Very well.

What is it?

Ten years? A bit more? Oh, yes. At least
that, sir. It must have been when we

were... I never thought I'd find myself
back in London again. Oh, horrible

place. Gets worse and worse.

Yet, you know, when I was a young man,
it seemed to be the only place to be on

earth. Used to walk over Westminster
Bridge in the morning.

Ah, well, we all change, don't we?

Not that you look all that old yet,
Bill. I mean, not very old yet, I mean,

you?

Hard work, you know.

I think that's the thing that keeps
people young. If you enjoy it, you enjoy

your work, Bill.

Most of it, yes, sir.

Good.

Honest, most of it.

Good. Why haven't children all right?

Three, isn't it?

Looked it up. About right, you know, I
think, really. Dora and I have often

that six is a bit too many. Can't
remember some of their damn names, you

some of the time.

Still, there you are, a nice bunch, all
turned out well in the end.

Except one joined the fourth bill. Now,
where did we go wrong with him, eh?

What?

Relax.

Relax, old chap. I mean, after all, the
subject of the investigation is not you.

Quite splendid.

I'm sure my fellow trustees will be just
as impressed as I am. Well, do you

think we stand a chance of getting a
grant? As good as any other, we shall

consider it at our next meeting.

Well, then would it be possible for me
to come and speak? Only very briefly.

Oh, I'm sure that would make the outcome
absolutely certain, but I'm afraid it

would put the other organisations
applying to us for financial aid at a

disadvantage.

Yes, of course. I see.

But I promise I shall do my best for
you. Like you do for everyone.

Of course.

Excuse me.

Yes, Miss Larby.

Oh, yes, put her on, will you?

Mary? Victor, Victor, don't say
anything.

Victor, please just listen.

There is someone next to me now while I
am talking, and they have a knife.

They will use it on me without
hesitation if you attempt to ring or

police there, just listen.

In your office with you now, there is a
young woman.

Just say yes and nothing else.

The young woman has got into seeing my
trick.

If you don't want any harm to come to
me, you must do exactly as she says.

She is going to take you somewhere.

Go with her without any argument.

If you try to do anything else other
than what she tells you, I... I...

I'm going to be cut about with the
knives.

So, there you are.

I'm

sorry,

Miss... Miss Griffiths.

That was rather a strange call.

I... I think it was a practical joke.
Oh, no. I can't quite take it in. Why?

My wife said that you... But don't worry
too much, though. She'll be all right.

As long as you do as you're told.

Don't!

Do you think we managed to get out past
your secretary without her suspecting

anything? She'd be the one who got hurt.

Well, we'll see.

But first, I'd just like you to dictate
a little message.

Could be that one, yeah.

Go on.

Morning. Morning.

Oh, morning.

Very busy then, Owen?

Yes, Owen.

Well, at least you'll never be short of
gainful employment, will you?

Oh, yes.

Who's this? What's she done?

Nothing yet, unfortunately.

Do you have Forbes?

Hang on. Bob Croft.

In your office a minute ago. Probably
just popped out for a coffee.

He's not here at the moment. Who is it
who wants him?

Oh, wait a minute. I think he went in to
see the boss.

Look, put them on. I'll have a word.

Hello?

Madam. Yes.

I believe you were asking for Detective
Inspector Croft. Well, I'm sorry he's

not here at the moment.

I'm Detective Inspector Forbes.

Can I be a very...

Madam, did you hear what I said?

It's like Detective Inspector Croft is
not here at the moment.

But... Yes. Madam, if you'll just try
and keep calm, and I'll see

what I can do to help.

Can you begin by telling me your name?

Madam, did you hear what I said? I said,
can you begin by telling me your name?

Beresford. Is that one hour or two?

One hour.

Miss or Mrs?

Mrs.

Beresford. And the address?

Middle Court, James Yard.

Yes. Yes, Mrs. Beresford. We'll come to
that in just one moment. Now, are you

calling from there now?

I think so. Well, can you let me have
the number?

Six, three... Sorry.

Can't you go and play somewhere else?

Yes.

Now, you say that you've been threatened
by a person with a knife and wearing a

mask.

Now, have you been hurt in any way by
this person?

If I may say so, sir, I find this very
disagreeable.

Of course you may say so, Bill.

Disdisagreeable. Just the word I'd use.

When we worked together at Marina Wharf,
he was one of my closest friends. My

closest friend. And you never suspected
that your friend Hammond was ever

involved with even a single one of those
people at all? No, sir, I did not.

I still find it very hard to believe.

Well, that means only one of two things,
doesn't it, Bill? Either you didn't

know him as well as you thought you did,
or you're going to be obstructive and

not help me more than you have to.

Would you like to save me some time?
Tell me which.

Come.

Oh, excuse me, sir. I was looking for D
.I. Cross. Sergeant Clayton said he

thought he might be with you.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Know each other, do we?

Commander Rack, Assistant Commissioner's
Office, Detective Inspector Forbes.

Sir?

DCI Foster.

Good morning. Good morning.

Sir?

Nice moving room.

Change.

Change.

Well then, Bill, I think you were just
about to tell me.

Didn't know him as well as you thought
you did?

Or not going to help me more than you
have to?

The second one, sir. With respect.

You're looking for me, they said.

Shut the door.

Who's that in there, Gav?

Ah, Rack.

Who is he? A not very nice man.

One of the rubber heel mob.

One of the rubber heel... Who's the
investigator?

No. Well, who?

Yes, you do. You're a lovely liar. Tell
me.

You wouldn't want me repeating malicious
rumours and gossip, would you? Yes, I

would.

OK.

Ten or eleven years ago, something of
that order, when he was at Marina Wharf,

he was big mates with a D .I.

I've forgotten his name now.

Hammond, Holmes, something like that. I
believe he's down in Cornwall now, or

somewhere.

Anyway, they started hearing things
about him, a lot of things, from Charlie

Bones. Charlie Burns, the grass. Oh,
please, super grass.

Now, they say he's nailed Hammond by his
ears, his pants, kneecaps, and several

other painful places, too.

Yeah, but there's no question of... Oh,
Russell Square.

Yeah, that'll be a turn -up.

But that's not what you wanted me for.

No, um, Mrs Beresford.

Beresford?

You should think that she's been
threatened by a person with a knife and

wants to speak only to you. It's just a
gift, I thought.

Ah, Betty.

Be a love, would you, and get me
6371550.

Because you've got lovely, long,
slender, sensitive fingers.

You always get it right first time.

OK.

Beresford. Beresford. How do you know?

What?

Well, he's from the assistant
commissioner's office, isn't he? And

I've got friends.

Look, please, tell me.

Everything I know.

Well? Well, that's it. That's all.

Who's your friend? One of a type? No,
cleaner.

Empties the waste paper bin.

P .I. Croft.

Yeah, OK, left town.

Phone's off the hook.

Do you think I should go around there?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Right.

You hysterical old dear.

I can't by any chance charm you into
coming with me, can I?

Don't flatter yourself.

Hang on.

The atmosphere around here is beginning
to stink like rubber heels.

Yes, I'll come.

You look after him, Jojo. I'll be back
soon.

Yes, it is. Who's that?

Oh, hello, Brenda.

Look, how did you get this number? I've
not been here a week.

Did she?

Yes, all right. What do you want?

Yes, well, all right, then. Go on, tell
me something.

Yes, I know the man got out over the
wall. I heard. Stop telling me on the

phone, you stupid... Oh, really?

Yeah, well, I hope you'll be very happy
together if you ever get there.

How are you going, canoe?

What?

I'm sorry, I'm not feeling very well.

And your husband's secretary brought it
straight round to you, you say, Mrs.

Beresford, and the machine?

My brother... It was my suggestion.

When you phoned, Mrs. Beresford, why did
you ask from me particularly?

I'm sorry, I just wasn't thinking. I...

I just asked for the first name I could
think of. Yes, but how did you know my

name?

My niece used to mention it a lot last
year, Anita Black.

Oh, yes.

Oh, well, we'll get your husband's
secretary to come down and look at a few

photographs, see if she can pick anyone
out.

There is no chance, I suppose, of you
being able to identify this masked

Oh, no.

No, there wasn't anything I could see of
her at all. It would be quite

impossible. You said her.

Did I, Alan? Yes, you did.

Just that I felt that.

Isn't that extraordinary?

Of course, I could have been wrong, but
in any case, whether it was or wasn't, I

couldn't possibly identify anyone.

All right. Well, we'll see how we get on
with your husband's secretary to start

with.

Mrs. Burrisford, I don't wish to appear
unkind, but we do have to be sure that

this is what it seems.

I beg your pardon?

I'm just mentioning it, that's all.
There's something that has to be kept in

mind. You see, there is always the
possibility that when somebody has

disappeared, that it might be from
choice.

That's preposterous. How can you say
such a thing? It's not their job to be

nice, Mary.

I didn't wish to upset you, madam.

I'm sorry.

Well, sir, can I ask you a few
questions?

If you want to.

He is going to be all right, isn't he?
Please don't worry. I'm sure he is.

Morning, Bullock.

Here, have you read this diabolical
contest that Harry's written?

Yes. Morning, morning!

Ah, not repainted it yet, I think.

Boss in his office is saying, it's all
right, carry on, carry on.

1 ,000 pence.

Right, I'll be done.

Beresford's secretary's just picked up
on one of the mugshots.

Morning, Tom.

Rattle not here yet?

Barrett?

Oh, hello.

We are fine, thanks. How are you?

Look, I'm glad you've rung up.

I was trying to plug up courage to ring
you.

I was wondering if perhaps you might
like to come to the concert at the

lakeside.

Well, somebody gave me a couple of
tickets and... Look, sorry, something's

cropped up. I've got to go. I'll phone
you back, OK?

Good morning, Bill.

How are you this morning?

Gonna rain, is it?

Oh, damn thing. I put it in here
somewhere. Ah!

Oh, well.

Now then.

Well, Bill, I'm sorry this business is
dragging on and on, you know, but got to

be thorough.

Might I just ask, sir, is there no one
else you could approach for the

information you want?

Well, you see, Bill, as you said
yourself, if he could conceal from you

was receiving all these bribes and you
were his best friend, how much less

chance we stand to learn anything from
anyone else, hmm? I mean, you see what I

mean. Well, then, sit down there, chap,
hmm?

Ah, I see you've...

Managed to sort out your old diaries.

Really, it's awfully kind of you,
Miss... Miss... Very, very kind.

Well, Mrs Beresford, Sir Charles and all
the trustees were most anxious for you

to know that if there's anything at all,
you mustn't hesitate.

It's just that I've not been very well,
and it... It's not knowing, you see.

Well, I'm sure you'll have more news
before long, Mrs Beresford.

I'm sure you will.

And as you say, it's so much more
sensible not to bring in the police.

Did I?

Oh, yes.

Let me see if I can find something for
you to put these in, shall I?

That one.

Fairleigh Davis?

Well, well, well. Is she sure?

Well, she said she had plenty of time to
get a good look at her before she took

her into Beresford.

Has she ever used the name Brenda
Griffiths before?

No, I don't think so.

But then we only hear of the one she
gets nicked under.

What? Hang on.

Sweet scintillation.

Oh.

Joan Richardson, 22, six foot, eye of
hazel, dark brown hair, sometimes dyed

black, sometimes fair -billed, and what
can be mistaken for a man?

Known as Joan Joanie Joanna Jojo.

And? Monday the 26th, absconded from
farm working party, heading to an open

prison for women, Lincolnshire, likely
to be returning to home area Medway

or possibly contact acquaintances in
South East London.

Known associates, Margaret Hampton,
Betty Fox, Sandra, also known as Shirley

Davis. Go on.

Small girl in office, identified as
looking like Shirley Davis by

secretary. Big, massive person with a
knife, threatening Mrs. Beresford in her

home, who says she doesn't know why, but
she thinks it's a woman. Right.

Well, it's possible.

Worth a bit of a whirl. Find a picture.

OK.

Well, well, well, Shirley Davies.

I wonder where she is now.

Hey, hang on, that fellow of hers, she's
got nicked again, hasn't he?

So that's where she'll be.

Right.

Find an address.

Want me to come with you?

Why?

Well, I don't know, Shirley Davies.

Supposed to be a bit of a mystery, isn't
she?

Perhaps I can help you keep your mind on
things. Don't flatter yourself.

Do you have a horse?

Who?

I don't know any Alan Lawson. Who is he?
What does he want?

He says he's on his way over to see me,
but why should... Um,

yes, it's all right. No, I just
remembered who he is.

Well,

look, I'll be here for a bit, so when
you arrive, just send him up, OK?

Right.

Now, there's one here, July the 15th.

Andrews withdrew £900 in cash, and on
July the 16th, Hammond paid in

£840 into his account in cash.

July 10th to 24th, I was on holiday, two
weeks in Oban, caravan site with wife

and kids.

And he says about this one, I had a
lucky winner at Kempton Park, can't

the name of it now so many years
afterwards, but I know it was something

to 1.

And such control, sir? No racing that
week, that year at Kempton Park or

anywhere. Thunderstorms and floods, all
racing washed out. And you, sir?

I wouldn't have known anything about it
anyway. I was on holiday. I wasn't

there. No.

Did he mention a big win to you when you
came back from holiday?

No, sir. Not that I remember. Bill, did
he ever mention having had a big win to

you, ever?

No, but then he wouldn't, would he? Not
necessarily.

Even though you were such close friends?

He knew I was never a gambling man.

And he'd never have told you. It had
been uncertain whether your personal

loyalty to him would have prevented you
from mentioning it to anyone else.

You didn't really know him at all.

Not really, Bill, did you? Having all
these cash payments going into his

account, and you hadn't got the faintest
idea.

He was quite a reserved sort of person,
sir. Not an easy man to get close to.

And in his private life, too, an unhappy
man, I think, sir.

I've said he was one of my closest
friends. I'm going to stick to that.

because Charlie Bones has decided to
open up, I expect... What?

What do you expect?

I expect there'll be quite a few of us
coming under suspicion, sir.

Oh, yes.

Well,

you were clear, Bill.

So there's no need to go on worrying, is
there?

Miss Davis, I'm sorry to trouble you. I
wonder, could you spare me a few

minutes?

Yeah? It's a routine inquiry. As I said,
I won't keep you longer than a... Wait

there.

Well, go on then. What is it?

And what was the name? Haven't we met
before?

Croft, Miss. Detective Inspector Croft.
I can't see. I remember myself, Miss.

Ah.

I like Elton.

The bitch is back. Look, this isn't my
place.

Willie Jevons.

Yeah.

He's got good taste.

Very good taste.

Look, I'm tired. I've just come back
from seeing him in Brixton. An hour and

half's wait. Do you mind?

If you want to search it, search it. I
didn't give a damn. So, how are you

getting on without him, then, Brenda?

It's Shirley, actually. Come on, Brenda
Griffiths. I'm sorry.

Try over the road. Listen, little girl,
I'm not in any hurry. Have you got a

ticket for me? I might have.

Or I might not need one. All right,
then. You take me down the bill shop.

Come on.

Let's have a little chat, eh?

I don't usually drink on duty.

Well, nothing's on offer.

Nothing.

So, how long after the girl had gone was
the fit of final?

About five minutes, perhaps.

It was on the kitchen table.

It was a vain excuse to go in there and
get some water for the flowers we

brought. Call Custer. Not the way
someone with a record usually behaves,

She's got a record. You know who she is?

We think we might.

Mr. Peripheral Secretary picked out a
photo.

Have you heard this?

I started listening to it and Mary got
so upset I brought it straight here.

Go down before the President, Jack.

Please, sit down, Mr. Lawton.

If it is who we think it is, shouldn't I
inform Diacro?

Yes. See if you can phone him, OK? OK.

Do you have a job, Mr. Lawton?

Yes, I'm a teacher.

It's half term this week.

Yeah, yeah, OK, right.

Invited friends round for later, have
you?

I told them I'd be at Willie Jevons'
place. What, I hope to have a chat with

you. Now, what's wrong with that, eh?

Yeah, the governor worries about us if
he doesn't know where we are.

What time do you get to Brixton this
morning?

Usual visiting time. Why?

Well, even you can't be in two places at
once, can you? What are you talking

about? Well, who is this Brenda
Griffiths, then, eh?

Because she sure looks a lot like you.

Joan Richardson.

Joanie. Jojo. What?

You know her?

Yes, yes. I've met her a couple of
times. Big bull's eye. Why?

When did you last see her?

Next pram to hers outside Tesco's while
your mums are doing their shopping?

Yeah, yeah. Something like that. On her
toes from heading to an open prison. Oh,

yeah. Yeah, now look, kid. No, you look,
old man.

I'm on licence from Borstal, right? And
I'm not going back. I've done nothing

that could get me a recall and I'm going
to do nothing either, right?

Now. Living here at William's place
isn't a crime. He said I can. We're good

friends.

As well.

Like you were with Peter Downey.

Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah.

Yeah, we had a drink with you once that
night.

Crossed keys, wasn't it?

Yeah, he was off duty and you came in.
And six weeks later they asked for his

resignation. It was his wife that raised
the riot, not me. Oh, sure.

Do you hear anything?

I mean, where he is, what he's doing.

Oh, don't go breaking my heart.

Then two of his mates came and did me
from the first borscht off. Aye, well,

just remember something.

I was a bigger mate of his than they
were.

Gee.

We'll receive another message soon with
definite, definite demands.

Mary, try not to worry. It's all right.

Definite demands.

What's all that about?

Oh, tell us.

You hear anything in the background?

No, I can immediately say what it was.

Annette, ask Fred to have a go at it and
see if he can separate anything out of

it, OK? And get it typed straight out
and copy it right away after lunch, OK?

Thanks, Annette.

Yeah, thanks, love.

If you're not going to tell us
anything... There's nothing I can tell

don't know my sister or her husband all
that well, really. We don't exactly hit

it off. We never have done. I'm sorry.

But I will help in any way that I can.

Now, tell me.

Look, I'm not asking you to make a
statement.

I mean, not right away, but if you
could...

talk to them or something might occur to
you or something might emerge that

would give it the lead. All right, now.

Well, look, why don't we all go and have
something to eat?

Well, the canteen will be a bit full
this time, isn't it? Save it up.

I don't think the tank would be a very
good idea. Why don't we try that little

wine and salad bar around the corner?

Yeah, it's good.

If we can get in.

I suppose it's worth a try anyway.

This way.

Dave, I'll telephone for you. Excuse me.

Sorry.

Oh, Barrett.

Oh, right.

Hang on a minute.

Looks like something's happening on the
Cannon Hill job. I'll join you later,

OK?

Yeah, sounds good. Tell me more.

We should have been a bit earlier.

Can we have some thoughts, please?

Can I be allowed to take care of this?

No, but we'll go back, shall we?

Thanks.

So, tell me about your sister and her
husband.

How do you get on with them?

I don't.

He's a nice enough chap, I suppose.

He's very wealthy.

He's right out of my class financially.

He involves himself in a lot of good
works. He's a trustee for several

charities, that kind of thing. So I
presume all this has to do with money.

There'll be a ransom asked for
eventually, do you think?

Do you think?

I can't imagine any other reason.

Inspector Croft said to your sister that
perhaps her husband had...

He wanted to make it look as if he'd
been kidnapped so he could just

What was your reaction?

My reaction was, no, why should he? He's
not that kind of a person.

I think if Victor ever did want to
disappear, he wouldn't make a drama out

it.

I think he'd leave a note for Mary and
enough money in the bank for her to go

living on.

She was in financial difficulties.

You don't go on being allowed to
administer big, respectable charities'

their accountants hear even the faintest
whisper about you. I mean, they do hear

them if there are any.

Can I ask you this?

Were he and his wife happy?

I'd be very surprised.

You always that frank.

About other people, usually, yes.

Not about yourself?

Sometimes. When I have the nerve.

Right, Bill, right. Well, I don't think
I'll be bothering you again. Let you get

back to the other crime wave, eh?

That's the finish.

The finish with me, sir? Oh, the whole
thing, Bill. All sorted out and tidied

now. And what about Hammond? Oh, he'll
be crucified.

Which subject?

What?

You said you were a teacher. Which
subject do you teach?

Physics.

Where, which school?

Is this still police questioning? Yes,
of course.

St Mary's. It's a comprehensive in South
London. My son goes to Barrington Lane.

They have swimming competitions or
something like that against each other,

they?

Could do, yeah, probably.

Don't have much to do with swimming. How
old is he? Only 17.

Coming up for his A -levels next year.

As he wants to do, as you know.

Are you a policeman?

His father was, too.

I suppose it's possible, but I doubt it.

Was?

He was killed in a shooting.

Are you married yet, George?

No, I'm divorced.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. I didn't mean to pry.

Bad habit. I picked it up at work.

Oh, God.

Look, I must... Can I at least be
allowed to go get the coffee?

Yes, sir. And?

Well, where it's going, I was trying to
get it wrapped up, sir. Good.

And you and your three -card montage?

Seventeen of them warned off. Eleven
gone off down to Brighton.

Four still working round the market.

And two come in the old chutzpah on
Section 5.

Tommy the Toss and Brailsford Egan.

Sent you their regards.

Cheeky monkeys.

Right, now then.

This man, what's he called? Beresford.
He's been kidnapped. Or has he? Because

if he is, it's a job for the yard, not
us, right?

I'm not happy about it, Govan. I'm sure
you're not.

You see, my feeling is... Hang about a
bit.

What have we got?

Wife's statement.

Statement from secretary. Possible ident
of suspect.

The statement from one Alan J. Lawson.
Who's he?

He's the wife's brother, sir. Brother
-in -law of the man who's missing.

He seemed to me quite a reliable... Oh,
come on. What is it? What it seems?

More than it seems?

A jape? A gag? Something different?
Something serious?

Two experienced officers, sir. Come on.

Well, Bob and I have talked about it
quite a lot, though.

You don't agree?

Yes, we agree absolutely, but we don't
know.

In one way or another, we really haven't
much of a clue.

So you don't know and you haven't got a
clue?

Well, I'd like it. When are you two
going to audition for the Christmas

Now, look, I've got to decide, the yard
or not the yard.

No, Gav, not yet.

I don't think so.

It's gone wrong. Look, I told you never
to come.

Well, please help me.

Look, we had a plan to get Jonathan out
of the country, right? And that man, the

one we took that was going to be the
hostage, surely he's ill. He might die.

You are insane.

Surely this revolution has to go on.
Brenda, I can't.

You can, Shirley.

You must.

They are.

They can.

They will.

Yeah. Cheers, Dick.

Inspector Doran. Got some interesting
information for you about Cannon Hill.

He's also got Brailsford Egan sitting in
his office at this very moment who says

he's got a strong urge to talk to
somebody. If you'll excuse me, sir. In

case, if you could spare me for a few...
I remember the days when we were young

and keen.

Describe Jake Barrett as exactly young.

Now, you will be getting another message
shortly.

You will receive another message soon
with definite demands.

Oh. An engineer's report on a second
tape is not exactly helpful.

Below ground level in a space of about
600 cubic metres.

Resonance from overhead pipes or ducts
of some kind. About 100 metres from a

road with occasional passing traffic.

Two boys playing football at a distance.

Traces of wood and stone dust suggest
some kind of storage room.

Could be anywhere, couldn't it?

I suppose wait and see.

I mean, that's about all we can do.

What's your boyfriend's view?

Boyfriend? I'm just repeating the gossip
around the office.

Well, you can stop it.

And you can stop it out there, too,
boyfriend.

Touchy. Now, look, if it's important or
interesting, then tell me about it. If

not, let's keep our mind on our work,
shall we? Now, this jewel snatch is

supposed to be coming off at Haggerty's.

Clue me in on the whispers, yes? Well,
there's a plan.

of the news at the rear of the premises
in there, sir. Three reports about three

of the staff who sound a bit dodgy and
an interesting bit about a security

whose last job it was to advise them on
the installation of a new alarm system.

And I told you about the van?

Yes. That's in there, too.

Well, in that case, Garth, I mean,
there's somebody I've got to go and see.

Yeah.

Ah.

Round here goes where?

Eh?

That's into the high street, is it?

Er, yes.

And the New Jersey group said we can
absolutely rely on it. Now, there'd be

,500 waiting for us in Belfast. All we
have to do then is take the train across

the border, pick up a car and go to
Shannon. Brenda, stop.

You just go on and on. Shut up. I don't
want to hear any more.

I don't understand what you're talking
about, and I don't want to understand.

For God's sake, please.

Shirley, you're not stupid.

Look, all right, I'm into villainy, but
straight villainy. I don't want to know

about politics.

But what you call villainy is only the
way the proletariat acts against the

capitalist structure. Once more, one
more time and I swear to you I'm on that

phone to the brains and I'll be round
here before you've said knife.

They're asking me if I'm you.

We don't even look alike.

We do a bit. We don't.

All right, what time's Jojo's phone?

She should have done by now.

Write down the address where you got
this bloke fastened up. Who said not to

tell you? I thought you didn't want to
know. Write it down.

Print it and hold it like that.

Leave it on there.

Jojo's not phoning, you know that, don't
you? She will. She won't. I know Jojo

and I know what she'll be doing.

She'll be huffing it back to
Lincolnshire, wherever it is she comes

fast as her little legs can carry her.

I think you did her a right favour,
whoever put you on to her.

Shooters, knives, Jojo, Richardson.

What sort of people have you lot got
yourselves in with? It wasn't a real

revolver.

No.

It was a real person you took as
hostage, wasn't it?

You don't understand, do you?

You never have and you never will.

Look, even Mum and Dad, when they were
alive, they didn't understand either.

Look, none of you ever have.

You're my sister, Shirley, and not once
have you...

Yeah, you were always the one that no
one understood.

That's why you went to university,
because you were too clever for all of

Me, I was just thick.

So I went to Boston.

Look, just go, all right?

Do you need money?

Do you want anything?

Very kind of you to come, Inspector.

Do you think he'll ever come back?

We're doing the best we can, Mrs.
Beresford, with what little there is to

Is he dead, do you think?

We've no reason for supposing that.

I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling very
well.

I had a dream that...

My brother said that I should talk to
you. I need help. I can talk to you,

I? If there's anything you feel you
ought to particularly say... It's that

woman. I know it's that woman. She's
behind you. He's gone to her.

Mrs. Beresford, if you mention... You
see, I haven't been a good wife.

I'm ill, you see. I'm ill. Mrs.

Beresford, if he has gone off with
another woman, then it's not really a

matter. And if you've real reason for
thinking it, then you ought to tell us.

It's just that I'm so confused.

You see, he's such a kind man. I don't
think Victor would do it like this.

Please, won't you sit down just for a
little while?

You see, unfortunately, madam, I really
don't have a great... My niece used to

speak very warmly of you, Mr Croft.

Mrs Beresford, you see, I'm not really
the sort of... If only I were 20 years

younger, I... She's met a very nice
young man now. He's a medical student.

They're very, very fond of each other.

He's going to be a doctor.

Oh, has she?

Oh, good.

Good.

Ah, well, I'd like it done, please, if
you don't mind.

And in about an hour, OK?

I don't want to hear why you can't do
it. Just do it, OK?

Thanks. Sorry.

Hello, how are you?

Don't let me disturb you. I feel very
busy.

Oh, no, that's all right. I'm not busy
at all.

Excuse me.

DI Forbes?

Oh, good.

Right.

Thanks.

Sorry. I think there are a couple of
things I ought to tell you.

Yes, well, please do.

I hope you don't think that I've been
horribly cold -hearted about my sister.

No? I've been thinking about what you
said.

It's possible that Victor could want to
disappear and get away from her. I mean,

do you think I'm being unfair?

No.

Would it matter if I did?

Yes, it would.

Well, I don't, Phil.

Okay?

What else?

Hmm?

You said there were two things.

Yeah, well, that rather depended on what
you said in the first one, but now it's

out of the way.

Oh, dear.

Come in.

Oh, uh, excuse me.

Just one minute, okay, Jimmy?

What I wanted to say was to ask you what
all this is about.

DI Forbes?

No, love, I don't want to hear it, and I
don't want to go through it all again.

Just do it.

Hang about. She'll be with you in five
minutes, all right?

Nothing's going with you, then.

Okay.

So, how are things going with you?

Ah, you know, keeping our noses in
front.

Just about.

Well, that shouldn't be hard.

They're long enough.

Sir.

Well,

madam, if you'd like to step this way.

Mint.

Now, aren't you going to sit down?

Shirley Davies, isn't it? What can I do
for you?

How much have you got on Willie Jevons?

What? He's in Brixton in custody on
remand, waiting to come up for trial.

Oh, is he?

All right, I want to speak to Croft.

You've got a nurse?

Well, when will he be here?

Well, he's working with Interpol at the
moment.

This is fairly urgent.

He's just who I need.

Magic. Look, I'm not putting up with
people ringing up my place, giving me

messages for you.

Well, I've got to go and see a man about
a dog handler.

Oh, well, this is a surprise.

Shirley Davis giving information. I
haven't given you any information.

No, so go on.

It's a deal. Oh, no, it's not. I don't
do deals.

The message was about someone that wants
you to go and see him.

So? Tell me who.

What? Whereabouts?

I just want bail for Willie Jones.

Uh -uh. The court gives bail.

Well, I'll have a word with one of your
mates and say they've no objections. I

don't want him stuck in there waiting to
come up. He won't run.

I've not got that sort of influence with
other officers.

Victor. I think they said his name was.
Something like that. Just sort of

gabbled away and put the phone down
quick, you know.

What was his other name?

Braelford, would it be?

Not very well, they said. And could you
get their phone quickly?

Now, listen.

Bail.

And I'll have to trust you.

And chances don't come any bigger than
that, do they?

Good.

You didn't book a table at all, did you?

No. I was just twisting your arm.

Made you think there was a need to.

I think everyone's a bit scared of the
police.

Yeah, I suppose they are.

I suppose that's why most of them marry
other people in the force.

Are you going to marry another one next
time?

I haven't even started thinking about it
next time.

You are going to get married again?

Huh? Aren't you?

You don't want to talk about it?

No, it's not that. It's just that I... I
know that I have talked about it.

It sounds ridiculous.

Yes, it does sound ridiculous, but I...
I've always felt that it would be

somehow... disloyal, I suppose that's
the word.

To the memory of your husband?

Yes. It does sound ridiculous.

Would he want that?

For you to go on being loyal?

No, of course not.

No, I think this is very good for you.

What?

Talking about it.

Thank you.

You know I'm after you, don't you?

You say you're frank, don't you?

About myself, I said, when I had the
nerve.

Well?

Well, what?

I'm asking you a question.

Yes. Yes, I do know you're after me.

It's the next question I'm asking you,
the one after that. Am I going to run

away?

Something like that.

We aren't to know each other's names, do
we?

Mine's Maggie.

Alan.

Are you going to run away, Maggie?

Blimey.

Look, give me a chance.

I'll go on being frank.

I'm not talking about marriage.

This is where I'm supposed to say, what
do you think I am, or something like

that, isn't it?

I'm not going to. I'm just going to say
it again.

Give me a chance to think, to stop my
head worrying, to get my breath back,

things like that.

Do you have a 500 piece?

I'll find one.

I'm so

sorry.

I think I'm all right.

Really quite all right. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Don't forgive me. I've taken up so much
of your... I think I'm all right.

It's my ankle.

I think... If I were to lie still...
Shut up.

If you don't mind, sir, please.

So, another time, if you could just
leave word where you might be, if you

be needed, with possibly an indication
of whether you're on a job or merely out

enjoying yourself, yes?

Yes, sir. Thank you.

You see the message that came through on
the wire about Fishcart?

Fishcart? Ah, what was she calling
herself? Brenda. Brenda Griffiths. Her

her boyfriend.

He's on the run. They hired a car, going
for the ferry, I suppose. Broke down

about five miles before they got there.

Oh, Maggie.

Sir.

Decent meal, was it?

Yes, sir.

Quite satisfactory.

Thank you, sir.

Well, she certainly needs a
psychiatrist, whether she'll go to one
