David, get to bed.

There's dogs!

Now uh, come on, now.

What I want to mean is,
how many chances

have you had to have a
share in a racehorse?

I mean, don't happen
to people like us, do it?

Only happens to millionaires.

And I thought you were
a millionaire, Claude.

I've got no more than I ever had.

Except money.

Ah well, the thing is,
what I've done,

I've taken him up to Ted
Shaw's livery, you know.

And he's gonna train
him professionally,

but of course, it's
gonna cost a few bob.

Oh, you're serious, then?

Ah well, you've got to
spend a bit to win a bit.

What I thought might be
an idea to offer one or

two of me real mates a
chance to have a share.

Have you asked Nick and Kate yet?

I'd rather take him
to the knacker's.

Eh, keep it quiet.

Evening.

What's he up to?

He's talking about having his
race horse trained professionally.

What, shelling out real money?

It's hard to believe.

He must know something about that
horse that no-one else does, eh George?

David?

David!

David, stop!
Stop, you silly beggar!

Ma, you shouldn't be out. It's cold.

I wouldn't be out if you were in bed.

Well, there's dogs!

Oh, there's folk! I should show
'em how to get to t'road.

What the...?

Nobody about, you said!

Well, it were no more than
a knock. Drive, come on!

Ma?

You all right, Ma?

Are you alright?

- Here you go.
- That was lucky!

Skill. George, put another
one on the Doctor's slate.

Ma...

What is it, lad?

I couldn't move her.

You did the best thing, David.

It just hit her. Hit her down.

I'll keep an eye out
for this ambulance.

Hey, Ma'll not want
to go to hospital.

She has to go, David.
They can help her there.

Will you be all right?

Hey, I could stay
up late, couldn't I?

Kate, I'll see you there. I'll try
and find out what's happened.

Okay.

Here you go, David.
Plenty of sugar.

Aye, great.

So, can you tell me more
about the accident?

Ma won't be best please with us,
bringin' her to hospital.

I mean, I'll be in trouble.

Nah, I don't think so.

She's got a hell of a temper.
She'll want to be home.

Now, it was a car that
knocked her over?

Aye. Smack!

I couldn't wake her.
But I went for t'doctor.

I didn't know where to look when
the doctor weren't at the doctor's.

But I found her!

Well, there can't be that many
vehicles in those woods.

Do you know whose it was?

They had dogs.

Someone you know?

Bloody noisy dogs,
they were snarlin' and yappin'.

I wouldn't have dogs like that.

They want a good kick up the bum!

What sort of car was it, David?

Land Rover.

Here, there's that many folk here.

Do you know who the
Land Rover belongs to?

Hello Doctor!

Ma will want to be off, I reckoned.

She's gonna have to stay in
hospital for a while, David.

We need to make sure she's
better before she comes home.

Oh no, she'll be cross wi' us.

I know.

Look, why don't you go and see her?

She's just through that door
at the end of the corridor.

She's had a heart attack.

Not serious, but she's pretty
weak and badly bruised.

Did she say anything
about a hit-and-run?

She's very shaken, Nick.

And upset about being here at all.

Maybe after a good night sleep.

It's hard going with David.

He's not going to make
much of a witness.

Doctor says you're poorly, Ma.

I'm fine. It's nowt.

They make such a fuss, when
the doctors get a hold of you.

I ran to t'village.

You did right.

PC Rowan, has he been
askin' questions?

Aye, he has.

Tell him I fell.
I fell, that's all.

Listen, David. I fell down,
and you found me by the track.

Aye, you fell.

You mustn't say owt about
my being knocked over.

Tell the police there were
nobody in the woods.

No dogs, no cars, no people.

It's important. Can you remember?

They had dogs.

It has to be a secret.

We have to pretend they weren't there.

Promise me it'll be a secret.

Aye, I promise.

You're better off with one
of them than this junk.

What's it in for?

Shock absorbers.

Treats it like a tank, they do.
Keeps coming back for more.

Have you had anyone in with a
broken headlamp this morning?

No. Why's that?

There was a hit-and-run up
at Beckham Wood last night.

Florence Stockwell's in hospital.

Is she bad?

She'll be alright, no
thanks to the driver.

I'm looking for a Land Rover
with a broken head lamp.

Nasty business.

Could be local.
It's not easy to find, that place.

So keep your eyes open,
will you, Malcolm.

Why would the Chief Inspector ask me
to go in for the sergeant's exam again?

Eh? Why?

Oh, hang on. I'm trying to read it.

What if there were a sergeant's job
going and he had me in line for it.

"In view of the fact that you
only just failed last year..."

- So you weren't lying after all.
- Oh, go on, get on with it.

"...we feel this would be the right
time to resit the examination."

Oh, come on Alf. You're always
banging on about exams.

It's just their way of keeping
us out of the pub.

- (BLAKETON) Bellamy!
- I'm serious. Examination's next week.

D'you think he's giving me the nod?

I don't know. Ask the sarge.

Bellamy!

No, not a word with Blaketon, right.

He's never let me
forget I failed last time.

Yes, sarge.

Hello David.

You alright?

I'm off to see your mum later.

Thought we find out what
happened last night.

Can I come in then?

Any chance for a cup of tea?

David, this vehicle last night,
you said it was a Land Rover.

There were no-one here.

Sorry?

Ma fell over.

Yeah. She was knocked over.

David, you said you
saw a Land Rover.

I saw the tracks. I also found
a piece of broken headlamp.

There was no-one here.

No car.

Ma fell.

Right. Struggling, Harry?

You could do with losing
a bit of weight.

Wouldn't do any harm
if you give us a hand.

Hey, I'm a client, Harry.

I pay good money to this firm to
have my investment looked after.

You don't keep a dog and
bark yourself, you know.

Feed one of those mineral blocks
in Agamemnon's field, will you?

- Aga who?
- Agamemnon.

Who's he when he's at home?

He happens to be my racehorse.

Well, he'd better not be far
away cause those are heavy.

Come and have a look at him.

- No, got work to do.
- Come on!

Come on, it'll only take a minute.

Now then Harry, is that an
'orse or is that an 'orse?

Why, he's fit for a 'orse,
I'll give you that.

Anybody'd give their right arm to
have an interest in something like that.

Have you ever thought of like
having a share in a racehorse?

Are you asking me to put my
money into a racehorse?

I've lost three customers
this month already.

Well, in that case, you can't
afford not to be in, can you?

I mean, he's gonna
make us a fortune.

And you don't win a raffle
unless you buy a ticket.

Bye, Claude.

His mother won first time
out at Redcar at 33 to 1.

(Nearly.)

So you went out to see the hens?

It weren't till we got to bed.

I remembered I hadn't shut
them up for the night.

We've got no shortage of foxes to take
us hens if chance comes their way.

And this was after
David had gone out?

Before. He were in his bed.

So you were already outside
when he heard the dogs?

Did you hear them?

I know nowt about dogs.

There were a vixen howlin'
over by Darly Top.

Alright, let's start at
the other end, then.

You were knocked over
by a car or a Land Rover

coming out of the wood.

I don't know where you
get that from, lad.

Didn't your missus tell
you it was me heart.

I just blacked out.

Lucky my lad came
to see where I got to.

Well last night, David told
me it was a hit-and-run.

- Did he?
- Yeah.

I found a piece of broken
glass from a headlamp.

I thought you were knocked
over, Mrs. Stockwell.

I were not knocked over.

My lad's a bit on the slow side.
It's no secret.

He doesn't always know what's
happening around him

especially if he's in a state.

He must have been in
quite a state last night.

- Have you talked to him this morning?
- Yes.

Happen he's a bit clearer about it.

So, you've no need to waste more
of your time on it, have you?

Oh, come on, Alf.

You can't do that sergeant exam
with a book in front of you.

Now, come on.
Arrest without a warrant.

All right, I know that.

- So, tell us.
- Yeah, come on, Alf.

Where a constable has reasonable
cause has reason to suspect

that a felony has been committed,
he may arrest, without warrant,

anyone who is, with reasonable
cause, guilty of the offence.

And it's the same for
about to commit a felony.

That's very good.

Alright, try this.
Search without a warrant.

- Get lost.
- I'm very impressed!

It's good to see such dedication
to the law, Ventress,

and in Ashfordly Police Station
of all the most unlikely places.

Now, this uh, report
of yours, Rowan,

gives us an unusual
angle on police powers.

Well, it's a bit difficult
to explain, sarge.

Aye. PC Rowan here is itching to
arrest a person or persons unknown

for a hit-and-run incident

which the supposed victim and
sole witness says never took place.

And it won't be difficult
finding the vehicle

that Mrs. Stockwell
says never hit her.

It will stick out like a sore
thumb in the North Riding.

Cos it's a muddy Land Rover.

Ma!

Ma! Ma, summat bad's happened!

They want to keep an eye
on you for a few more days.

I'm grateful for all that's been done
but I've no time for all this fussing.

I must be in me own home.

- I'm right as rain now.
- No, you're not.

And you haven't been
for a while, have you?

I've David to think on.

I'll pop in on him when I can.

The next time I'm in Ashfordly
I'll bring him to see you.

Look, if you're worried that
he can't manage on his own...

I said nowt about that.

He can manage well enough for a bit.
I can see to me own child.

I'll have no busybodies popping
up there and poking their noses.

I don't, I'll not stay...

I'll tell David how you are.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

No one knows who the father was.

There were a bloke came
down from Sunderland,

use to buy their pegs off
them when Florence's father

was till coppicing the woods.

Stayed in a tent there.
Some people thought it was him.

Didn't David have any help?

Folk didn't think about that.

The Stockwells kept
themselves to themselves.

And the old man died during the war.

I don't supposed the wood's
been worked since then.

Bit of firewood maybe.

So how do they keep going?

I know one thing though.

David won't be able to stay
for long without his ma.

Whisky, Claude?

Well, all right, then, go on.
Large.

Hey, did you read that
article in the paper

about how they are increasing all the
horses in the Metropolitan Police?

- Are they?
- Ah.

Apparently, they're outdoing
all the coppers in the IQ tests!

Very good Claude. If that's the
best you can do, I'm off. Cheers.

Claude, you'll never go to heaven.

Hey, we went to see
your horse today.

Yeah, how much did
you say a share was?

How many times do
I have to tell ye?

Tell everybody,
they'll all want to be in.

We'll talk about it later, alright.

- Five pounds.
- I must say we're very impressed.

It looks like it's got a bit of class.

Bit of class? That horse is a
complete and utter thoroughbred.

If it could talk it won't speak
to any of us, I'll tell you.

Was he a bit confused?

No.

Upset. Worried.

But he knew what he
was talking about.

Yeah.

He said a car hit his mother.

He's not saying that now.

And neither is Florence.

Could be she's lying.
She's got David lying too.

Why?

Well, maybe she's
frightened of someone.

Someone local, like we thought.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Doctor! I need t'doctor!

Right, you're in.

And don't forget, you don't back
the horse until I tell you, right?

If I were you, I'd keep a bit
quiet about having shares like.

You know what they're
like around here.

They get a bit jealous if they think
somebody's on to a good thing.

You'd better put your
name down for a Roller.

Don't worry Uncle George.

Sometimes you've
just got to go for it.

You're right. It just makes me a
bit uneasy to see Claude smiling.

Hey, let's celebrate.

Okay.

There's not much I can do, David.

It's been badly mauled.

You stop it dying!

Well, I could clean it up, stop
the bleeding, but I don't know...

But it won't live. Not long!

Let's try.

DOGS YAPPING

It's coming through!

Just a second.

There's nowt for you here, Claude.
It's all nailed down.

I'm not in the mood, Malcolm.
I want a serious word.

What word's that?

I can't understand why people
hunt for sport, that's their business.

But when their business
interferes with my business,

it stops being just their business,
it becomes my business.

- What?
- I'm talking about badger digging!

- Eh?
- Yes, you might as well eh.

And you know what
about badger digging.

All of a sudden, the cops start coming
round asking questions of everybody.

You've got a nerve, Greengrass!

I've followed the Ashfordly Hunt
for 20 years. Badger digging?!

If you are accusing me of it,
I've nowt to do with badger digging.

Don't come the odd
talk to me, Malcolm.

Cause I'm to know you were
involved a few years back.

Well?

Well, I don't want outsiders coming
round here spoiling things for me.

So I'm just marking your card.

So you can just go and
mark theirs. Got it?

I saw a badger when I was about 12.

At least I think it were a badger.

My mate said it was an
overweight sheep dog.

You wouldn't want to see this one.

You know, something
had a right old go at it.

- Morning, sarge.
- Morning, Rowan.

Kate thought it might have been dogs.

I suppose dogs do
have a go at badgers.

Yeah they will. They reckon a good
badger can see a dog off, though.

Nature study this morning, is it?

No sarge. Kate had to sort out
a half-dead badger last night.

What you and your missus do in your
private life is your own business.

Ventress?

Uh, he had something to do, sarge.

Hasn't Alf told him?

Having trouble with
your bowels, Ventress?

No, sarge.

I mean, just a bit.

I don't know what the modern
ideas on potty training are...

but my mother persuaded
me at quite an early age

that the best results were
achieved more comfortably

with the trousers off.

- Oh.
- Oh indeed, Ventress.

Now when you feel you can
make it back to your desk...

I thought I might try and get some
more out of David Stockwell

about that hit and run.

So what did he say?

Not much. All he talks
about is badgers.

I think I'll have a look
round the woods.

Come and talk to me, Rowan.

If you're searching the woods, you'd
best know what you're looking for.

Come on, my beauty.

- Morning, Claude.
- Harry?

Been thinking about
this horse of yours.

Oh, aye? Decided to fill
your boots, have ye?

Ah. Bit of spare cash
wouldn't go amiss.

Mine you, there's no risk.

I thought you knew
me better than that.

If there were any risk, I wouldn't
have my money in it, would I?

Don't worry. That horse is gonna
be hooked up until it's a certainty.

- Hooked up?
- Hah.

Not trying too hard to win
it until them in the know

have been told to dip their bread.

I'm in.

You're not a bad judge, partner.

He's beautiful, in't he?

Badger baiting, Rowan.

This came in from
Middlesbrough last week.

It's mostly RSPCA information.

It's a new one on me, sarge.

Not on me, I'm afraid.
Although it's been a few years back.

Now, somewhere in here...

Yes! Here they are.

Now, there are various ways
to get a badger out.

Say you've got the dog in the
tunnel behind him, biting him.

You're outside the hole with these.

Now, they're powerful little animals,
but they won't do much harm like that.

You just pick 'em up
and drop it in the bag.

Now these go on the end of
flexible rods, like chimney brushes.

Now you've got the badger trapped.

You push the rod down the
hole until the barb finds him.

You twist.
The barb bites into the skin.

And you just keep pulling.

It'll be pretty bloody when it
comes out. But it'll still be alive.

Well I picked these up on
a raid a few years back.

And using them counts as cruelty.

Although magistrates round here don't
think it's worth more than a modest fine.

But you do?

Oh, aye, I do.

Hello, David.

You off to see your mum?

Aye.

How's the badger?

Eating fit to bust.

Well, you can let it go now.
Back with its mates.

They've gone.

Where?

Look, just gone.

Oi! Claude!

It wasn't me cause I wasn't there.

And if I was, it must have
been somebody else.

I don't doubt it, Claude.
I want you to help me.

What with? Your enquiries?

What do you know about badgers?

Badgers?

Yeah. Small little black and
white furry things. Eat worms.

Not as much as you
by the sound of it.

No, I wouldn't know a badger
sett if I fell into one.

So if I were to take you up to Beckham
Woods where the Stockwell lives...

To the woods?
I didn't know you cared!

Look, I've got better things to do

than to go on countryside
rambles with coppers.

Would you want me to find out
what those better things are?

- When do you want to go?
- Now. Come on.

Oh, not on that.

Ma?

Hello, son.

- Are you managing?
- Aye, I am.

- Eating all right?
- I found a badger. It were poorly.

There's work needs doing, David.

There was a dead 'un too.
I took it to t'doctor.

What?

No, I took the poorly badger to
the doctor. She made it better.

Ma's doing well for visitors today.

Here, why don't you go and
buy her some flowers?

She'd like that.

I'm glad you've both kept
your mouths shut, Florence.

Is this it?

You wanted me to
show you a sett.

If you'd wanted a badgerologist
you should have gone and got one.

Well I know they can dig,
this lot must've used a bulldozer.

Don't look at me,
I'm not an expert on badgers.

I mean I don't bother
wi' owt I can't eat.

Well that must make 'em
sleep easy in their beds.

I mean they're vermin, aren't they?

I don't know, perhaps the Stockwells
thought they're after their hens.

Nah, doesn't make sense.

That David's been looking
after an injured one.

You can't take note
about what he do.

I mean he's threepence
short of a tenner.

You're being as generous as ever.

So, are there any more like this?

How many more do you want to see?

I want to see if there's any
more in these woods, Claude.

It's not a problem, is it?

Only for me feet.

Come on.

You still here?

I'm waitin' for t'bus.

Well, you'll have a long wait.
The last one went an hour ago.

I have to walk, then.

Come on. Hop in, son.

Thanks, Mr. Capshaw!

Can we go home now, sir?

You know Blaketon was saying

that a badger that will put up a good
fight will be worth about £10.

Even more, dare I say.

Wait, wait.

The only interest I've
ever had in badgers

is the shaving brush
belonging to me dad.

And if so, that's got less
hair on than my head.

No-one's pointing the
finger at you, Claude.

But you know something.

You've been twitching something
terrible all afternoon.

Well, no surprise on the back
of your bike with my complaint.

- What complaint?
- I don't want to spoil your dinner.

Someone's been digging
badgers, Claude.

You know who it is.

I don't. I've no idea.

You know it's going on.

Alright, look. There were some blokes
up on Denby Top wi' terriers last night.

I mean, they're probably the same mob
that has been digging around here.

But they weren't from round here.
They were strangers.

How close did you get?

Close enough for a quick scarper.

They're a nasty lot, you
know, terrier and man.

You want to watch it if
you're going after them.

They not all that bothered
about who they hurt.

I know. That's why Florence
Stockwell's lying in hospital.

Come on.

Your ma's been poorly for some time.

You'll need to help her.

Aye.

She'll need some money
from time to time.

I'll sell more firewood.

You can help her wi' money.
You can help me, as well.

Oh aye?

I bet you know every badger
sett from here to Aidensfield.

I've got these two mates
in Middlesbrough,

they want to have a look.

Oh, your mother said
it was all right before.

I've got to go.

Look, you're the expert on this.

These guys will give you
two quid a time for each sett.

Thanks for... thanks for t'lift.
I've got to go.

You could have a tenner stashed away
for your ma when she comes out.

That'll make life easier for her.

David! Our little secret.

Surprise for your ma!

Ma!

I don't know where you got
this from, Colonel Smedley.

There are no accusations
flying around.

And I can assure you that
no one is suggesting that

any members of the
Ashfordly Hunt...

All right, I am sorry,
Colonel Smedley.

Your co-operation is much
appreciated. Thank you.

I've just had a nice chat with
the Master of Foxhounds.

Who's been winding him up?

Well, I dunno.

I think he wants to give me
a lecture on country ways

and how to avoid treading
on people's toes.

So, what are you going to do?

I think I'll go and see David again.

Got to give him that ten bob back.

And it's time I talked to him properly.

KNOCKING
David! It's PC Rowan!

Are you in there?

Kate asked me to give you this.
You don't have to pay her.

That were for what she did.

I'll leave it with you.

She wanted to know
how the patient's doing.

Oh, it's all right.

Oh, good.

I went for a walk through
these woods this afternoon.

I saw that sett that was dug up.

Was that where you found your badger?

They went. They just went.

That's not true, is it?

Someone dug that sett up.

Some might have got away,
but some were killed.

And some would have
been taken away.

David, you know it's against the
law to dig up badgers, don't you?

- To take them away, to hurt them.
- No-one took them.

They use dogs, don't they?

Put them in a pit, see how long
before the dogs can kill them.

It could be hours before they die.

No!

You've got to stop them!

I can help you.

This thing's well had it.

I've come about money.

It's no good looking here, lad.

Badger money.

Oh.

I'm glad it went in, David.

You're not as daft as you look.

You've no right to
use him like that!

He wants to do something
to stop them.

We can't do anything unless
we catch them digging.

And what if it goes wrong?

He's only got to meet
Capshaw and his friends.

Oh yeah! The man who knocked
an old woman down and left her!

It's like sending a child!

He wants to stop these people, Kate.

He knows exactly what it's about
and he's made his own decision.

He wants these blokes done, Kate!
He's got a right to, hasn't he?

DOOR SLAMS

Argh! Ai, help!

You all right, sarge?

Shh!

Now David, is this it?

Aye.

Right then. Off you go, lad.

Bellamy, the art of surveillance
is to be invisible.

Yes, sarge.

I can still see you.
Find yourself a bloody tree.

Sarge.

- All ready?
- They're hidin'.

As soon as you get Capshaw
to the setts, you slip away.

Oh, no, no, I can help!

You come straight back
and lock the doors.

CAR HORN

Okay?

Bellamy, behind your tree.

DOGS YAPPING

Untouched. Beautiful.

They can smell 'em. Come on.

There'll be a fiver in this.

This is the police!

Stop what you're doing
and stand completely still!

Run for it, Al!

I would drop that, if I were you.

HE SHOUTS

Put that down.

Aarrgghh!

Arrgghh!

You looking for these?

They'll end up with a fine
for the badger digging,

but that's the way it is.

But by the time they're being
charge with resisting arrest

and assaulting police officers...

Bit more than a modest
fine then, sarge.

I didn't ask them to
resist, did I, Rowan?

Capshaw certainly did.

Well, keep that sling on, Bellamy,
for the magistrates. It all helps.

What are you doing, Ventress?

You could use a piece of
steak on that eye, sarge.

If you must cram for your sergeant's
exam, I suggest you do it at home.

- You knew.
- Of course I knew.

And I have it on very good authority,

there's a sergeant's job
coming up at Pickering.

What?

So try not to let me
down this time, will you?

Promotion's the only way
I can get rid of you.

[indistinct]

If anything happens to Florence,

it'll be terrible if he's send
off to some sort of home.

What's the alternative?

Well, I had to see Eric
Masters this afternoon.

He's got a bit of bronchitis.

He's doing the gardens at
the Hall on his own now

and he reckons Lord Ashfordly will
let him take on someone else.

Just to help out.

And I don't suppose there's a
cottage that goes with the job

with running water and electricity?

- Could be.
- You never get them out of the woods.

Oh, we can try.

You can start tomorrow
when you go out to tell her

there'll be no charges against her.

How did you know?

Alright Malcolm, spit it out. You've
been giving me daggers all evening.

- You know your job.
- I hope so.

Well, there's folks reckoned
you fancy a better bill

than see a man like
Harry Capshaw locked up.

You know what he's been doing?

He's had a hard time and
a family to look out for.

He turns to country for a few extra
quid, I think that's his business.

Now listen. I turn a blind eye
to a lot of things around here

but there's got to be something
wrong with people

who like watching animals
being torn to pieces in a pit.

MUTTERS OF AGREEMENT

Yeah. And anyone who thinks different
can drink somewhere else.

Ah, Claude. I'm glad you called in.

There's a lot of people
talking about you.

Perhaps they like to hear my side.

How many did you say had a
share in this horse of yours?

How many more times.
I've got half a share

and there's six of you with an
equal share in the other half.

Well, we reckon there's about
eleven of us in it up to now.

Well, you know what they
are like around here, George.

I mean, they hear you're on to a
good thing, so what do they do?

They make out they're
in on it at all, will they.

Well, that is what they say.

I'd like to meet these people.

You can.
They're standing behind you.

Are they?

You better pour me
a very large Scotch.

Think she'll get on all right?

She'll be safe enough now.

Not many places animals
can do what they want.

There's always people.

People can't leave anything alone.
