Thank you.

little restaurant I know. Oh, it's so late to be closed.

But I shall cook for you. What have we got? How about scrambled eggs?

Oh, great.

And just a simple Texan girl. Red heart.

No, it's a dump, actually, Harry.

There's a fight there nearly every night.

Rowan, here. Cheers, Rox. Bye -bye.

No, I don't know why. What am I, a dump like that? Shh, shh, shh.

Have a word to Helen.

Look, if the place is as bad as you say it is, then Hugo will take a lower

offer, won't he? That's right.

Uh, Rocky, did Ken come back last night?

Um, don't think so. Hello.

Staying at Rebecca's?

Have you tried Rebecca's cottage?

No, he's not there.

Who is that?

It's Lauren.

No sign of Ken, eh?

He's been away for the weekend.

They didn't even take anything.

They just... Oh, no, a lovely plant.

I'm sorry.

I've been really stupid.

Is there anything you can do?

Well, I can start some sort of investigation.

Locky.

Yeah?

Where were you between the hours of midnight and 4am?

Well, I was at Hugo's club from about... Blunker.

Ken! You don't have to be answering your phone, do you?

Nothing's been taken, Ken.

Looks like vandals.

Yes, yes, looks like vandals.

I'll get a report written up for your insurance claim.

Great.

Look, he doesn't see money.

It's insured.

And he's in love.

Is he now?

Yeah.

Well, the fact of the matter is, Mr Crawford, it wasn't my idea to get into

business. It was my brother -in -law's.

See, the hours never really agreed with me because I'm not really a night owl.

And if I could find proper managers... I sympathise, Mr Hawkins.

I sympathise.

So what about my offer?

Yes. Well, it's not really what I was hoping for, but given the market, I'll

accept.

Good.

Yeah, well, I'll have to consult with my brother -in -law, of course, but I

don't foresee any problems.

That's very good.

Terrific. Great.

How'd it go?

I can't believe it. What?

He's accepted.

Just like that? Yeah. Well, it's great, isn't it? Yeah, I know.

I can't believe it.

Not too cold, is it?

Oh, no, I love it.

I love it. You're joking.

No, it's so different from home.

You've never been to the States, have you? No, I haven't been anywhere,

Scotland? I went to Holland once.

Oh, you'd love it. You'd really love Texas. I know I would.

You should come, you know? You should come for a vacation. You'd really like

Things are happening very quickly, Rebecca.

I know.

All right, you don't have to make any decisions until after you see if you can

handle a Tex -Mex dinner.

A what?

Tex -Mex.

Well, sounds a good deal, Harry.

Very good deal, in fact.

But it may not be enough.

Enough?

What do you mean, enough?

I don't follow that.

It may not be enough to increase your revenues, to cover the loss projections

Woodcote Park.

Malcolm, I made this offer on your advice.

Only you said that another source of revenue could more than offset the

I know, I know.

That was based on last quarter's figures. This quarter's figures haven't

improved. The downturn is looking very serious.

Now, look, even if you make a profit with this disco... It's not going to be

disco. I'm going to change up the plan... Whatever, whatever.

By the time you've renovated, reopened, shown a profit, what are we talking

about, a year, a year and a half?

By that time, you and Woodcourt Park could be... Could be

what?

Bankrupt. Hurry.

I've no counter, but I'd say Malcolm Pryor was wrong.

It's going to be tight.

It's going to be bloody tight.

Hey!

What?

Yeah? All right, it's my next review of the heat.

Yes, right. Go and help yourself.

All right.

Rebecca? Yeah.

Is she about?

No, she's down the cottage.

What's that, then?

Oh, it's nothing, Ken. Nothing. There's nothing.

Well, actually, there is. Yes, there is something.

There are going to be a few changes at Woodcote, Ken.

There'll be quite a few changes round here, mate.

What?

Yeah. Rebecca.

She's asked me to go back to the States with her.

Yeah, sort of holiday, but, I mean...

If I like it, I might stay.

What do you reckon?

I think she wants her eyes tested.

So, what's up at Walco?

Oh, nothing, Ken.

Nothing? It'll sort itself out. These things usually do, don't they? Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Do you want to see me?

Yeah, that's right.

Come in, Lucky.

I wanted to go back to Hugo's tonight.

Oh, no, Harry.

And you said don't. Look, by the time I finish with that place, I'll be queuing

around the block to get in, in suits.

There.

I wanted to check out the restaurant.

Oh, no. All right, take Laura with you.

I mean, I don't see the point.

I mean, you're going to get a new chef anyway. Look, it's not the food I'm

interested in, Rocky. It's the cutlery, the dinner service, things like that.

What's the point of me laying out good money on stuff like that when what

they've got already is in good nick?

Well, what's the point of two of us going there? Go on. Go on.

Thank you.

I just want to do that click thing last night.

Let's go for a walk.

Lousy night.

Cold.

Might get a lot colder very soon, mightn't it?

Malcolm quiet him over the day with a preliminary figure. We're not looking at

black moon, are we?

Well... Is that why you've been tiptoeing round me all afternoon?

Well, yes, that's part of it.

Our problems may affect my problems.

Do you want to talk about it?

Well, I may want to later on, Helen.

When and if it becomes a real problem.

Well, I think I could get to light this Tex -Mex stuff.

To get HP sourced in San Antonio.

No.

I wish you'd tell me what's wrong.

such a good day.

I know. We have.

It's been wonderful.

What's wrong?

Oh, Ken.

I haven't been completely honest with you.

And I don't really know how to say this.

I'm married.

So, you came over here to find him.

Yes. How recent, this?

It was taken opening night of the opera this year.

How long were you married?

Five years.

Well, what do you know about his life over here?

Well, he talked about growing up, about his dad.

Said that he missed cricket.

He and his dad were very close.

I know they were well off.

So he didn't have to work.

He was setting up an import business in Galveston.

What else do you know about him?

I knew about his family.

I knew what he liked, what he didn't like.

But I loved him.

Who filed for the divorce?

We agreed that I should.

Was it amicable?

Well, it was as amicable as a divorce can be.

Hey, sorry.

I just have to ask.

About the mistakes of my life.

So that you could help me.

Will you?

What do you mean? Who did you say they threw out? The other bloke. Which other

one? The one who was with the first one outside.

What, there was another bloke? Yeah, only, you see, they were being really

with the bouncers half an hour before.

Yes, well, it's not going to be a problem, is it, Rocky?

Because I'm not going to have any bouncers.

No, Harry.

Somebody's paying people to cause trouble at the club, Harry.

Yeah.

Are you sure he's here?

No, I'm not. But all he ever talked about was his life here.

Then his father had a stroke. I mean, they were very close. So if he's not

I don't know where he is.

Look, all I want is that damn divorce. I want a signature on those papers so

that I can live my life.

Oh, Ken, I wanted to tell you. I really did.

But things between us happened so fast.

And then I thought that I could find him, but I couldn't.

Do you think you could help me? Do you think you could find him and get the

papers to him?

If he's in Nottingham, yeah.

Yeah, there is a chance.

Do you have an appointment, Mr Boone? No, I don't, no.

What did you want to see Mr Patterson about?

Well, it's about his son.

His son?

Oh.

I'm afraid to see Mr Patterson.

Would you mind waiting a moment? Yes.

You wanted to see my father? Yes.

What about?

Kerry.

Come with me.

My father died two days ago.

Oh, sorry. This is obviously a bad time. Let me tell you something, Mr Bean.

Boone. As far... Mr Boone.

As far as a slag of a brother of mine is concerned, there's no such thing as a

good time.

I don't suppose you'd like to tell me why?

You're right, I wouldn't. He went off to the United States. I haven't seen him

since, and I don't want to. All right.

Mr Crawford has made an offer, and this young biker works for him.

He's been hanging around the club.

Now, Crawford is rich.

He owns Woodcut Park.

That means he can afford to outbid me.

Now, I don't want that to happen.

I want that club.

I want Crawford out of it.

So... Go and talk to the biker.

Okay?

His wife thinks he's in Nottingham. His wife?

He got married out there, did he? I just imagine what sort of woman he is, man.

She thinks he's here, eh? Yes, she thinks that. And it all does on her,

Well, that's Terry.

Well, you can tell her that he wouldn't dare come back to Nottingham.

Why not?

Because there's half a dozen people who'd like to break his bloody neck if I

couldn't get to him first.

Well, uh... If he is in town and you manage to find the rock he's hiding

perhaps you could give me a ring.

I couldn't do that.

Like I said, I've got a funeral for a ring.

Does he take after you?

Huh? Your brother.

Would you take after you?

Because I can quite understand why she'd want a divorce if he does.

So she doesn't know about our Terry.

About what?

About time she did.

How much?

£96 ,000 from a customer. Came from Yugoslavia to collect a consignment of

textiles. Tom took him out to lunch.

Your Terry took his money.

From his family?

He stole from the family? Oh, God.

I don't know who I was married to.

I don't even know who I'm divorcing.

I didn't know, Ken.

Honestly, I didn't know.

I believe you.

Oh, I'm sorry, mate. I didn't know you.

Mr Sweet, see?

A friend of mine wants you to tell Mr Crawford something.

He wants you to tell him to get the bat behind you, then.

Oh.

I think you can do that.

Well, why don't you tell himself?

And things will ruin your teeth.

Sister Leary?

Yeah. Hello.

My name's Boone. I'm a private investigator. I'm making some inquiries

Patterson. I'm sorry, Mr. Boone. We can't discuss patients even when they're

deceased. Well, it's not exactly about him. It's more to do with his family.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Well, can you tell me if he had any other visitors apart from family?

Why do you want to know this?

Well, I'm just trying to track down his son.

Oh, well, his son came in every day with Mrs. Patterson.

And his nephew from the States visited in the morning. The States?

Sounded like an American.

And he dressed like an American as well.

He dressed differently, don't they?

The old boy always seemed to cheer up when he came in.

Especially could, under the circumstances.

Well, when he came, I mean, was there anybody else from the family about?

No, never.

And he wasn't there when Mr. Paston passed away.

He didn't come in that day.

And when he left the day before, he was very upset.

I suppose he knew... Oh, sorry, I've got to dash. Bye.

OK, yes, thanks very much.

Hi, Ken.

Yeah, I've got the details you wanted on that funeral.

The service is at 9 .30 at St Thomas'. And the funeral's at 11.

Day after tomorrow.

Well, thanks.

I'll do my best.

See you. Bye.

Well, whoever this bloke is, he obviously wants the place pretty badly,

I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy it, really.

Well, I want it, mate.

It's a bit of a tip, Harry.

But it's a tip with potential.

And no boogers warning me off it.

Actually, Harry, it was me they were warning off.

They didn't get violent, did they?

Oh, yeah.

Well, no.

They crushed me more teasers.

You could laugh.

It was you I bought them for.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Sorry.

Well, I always seem to be apologising, don't I?

I guess that's another kind of apology, isn't it?

Listen. You know he'll be at the funeral, and I will.

I don't want to see him.

There's no reason why you should.

I don't want to.

Except I should find out who he is, so I can forget him. I mean, does that make

any sense?

You sure you want to know?

Yeah.

Well, you're the one who's paying the money.

Well, I am at that, I guess.

We've discussed your offer, Mr Crawford, and it's simply easy to knock.

All right, Hugo.

Let's get down to some serious business, shall we? All right.

Have you had another offer?

No. Oh,

no, Mr Crawford, no. It isn't a Dutch auction.

You've made the only offer, and it's just not enough.

Well, would an enhancement of £5 ,000 be serious enough for you and your brother

-in -law?

Yes, that sounds serious, Mr Crawford.

Right, you've got until five o 'clock to accept it.

Now, if you do, I'll have a cheque for the deposit sent round by 5 .15.

And I hope we can do business.

Oh, I'm sure we can, Mr Crawford.

I'll ring you by five.

I know who your real boss is, Sonny.

So you can tell him.

Come on to him.

Harry!

Yeah, it's me. I've just been putting everything back in order.

And I'm sure your financial files are missing.

Yeah.

I don't think it was handled, you know.

Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to Woodcote Park.

The function's about to start, but I think there's still time for a drink.

I'd like to discuss a thought of business.

Nice place.

Nice crowd.

Sort of place I'd like to own one day.

What are you having?

Oh, not for me, thanks, sir.

Oh, yes.

You've got the genuine article here.

Large whiskey.

Look, if you're interested in booking a function, we can discuss it in the

office. Pardon?

I said, if you're interested in booking a function, we can discuss it in the

office. We seem to have got off on the wrong foot, Mr Crawford.

It often happens. Well, would you like to come to the point?

The point is, Mr Crawford, when I look around this extremely classy

establishment...

I can't for the life of me imagine why you'd be interested in Hugo's Disco.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Pardon? On your bloody bike.

Give it up, Mr Crawford.

It really isn't worth the trouble.

Not for a man of your taste.

Shame about your partner's office.

Vic Carpenter.

I'm in the book.

Rebecca? Yes?

I'm your brother -in -law. Could we have a chat?

What on earth were you doing business with someone like

that for? I wasn't. The sleazy stone soldier showed up here.

He wants the club too.

Well, it looks as if you're going to have to let him have it. Bloody well

Forget it, Harry.

Look. I know why you're doing this and I appreciate it, but it's too late.

The bank rate's against us and the bookings are down. If we continue like

we could go bankrupt.

If we sold out now, at least we could come out with something.

I'm going to have to let this place go.

I just want to be rid of him and that's the end of the story. What are you doing

here?

What is it, then? Did he rip you off as well?

It's none of your business.

Isn't it?

No.

Did he get a bit bored with you? Ah, Terry.

Did he put it about a bit, then?

Hmm.

Well, he hasn't changed, then.

If you want your money, I will help you to get it. I will put it in writing. Do

you have a lawyer?

Right now, please, I just want you to leave.

Oh, Ken, please, get him out.

Out. Now.

Just wanted to meet my sister -in -law, Mr. Boone.

After all these years.

Handsome woman.

You haven't located my little brother by any chance, have you?

That's none of your business.

Ah. Client confidentiality, of course. Yes, I bet there must be quite a bit of

information that's passed between you two that should remain confidential.

Ken, don't.

Just let him go.

Can you afford to buy me out?

I'm sorry.

We did the best we could. Well, you did even better than that.

Oh, yeah.

I did really well, didn't I?

If you start blaming yourself, Crawford, you're going to have me start breaking

tables.

Now, that would be something to say, wouldn't it?

Well, then, I suppose we'd better start thinking about... Tomorrow.

Mm. End of the day.

Mm.

Terry?

Who are you?

My name's Boone. I'm a private investigator.

You are Terry Patterson, aren't you?

What does she want?

The divorce.

Got the papers? No, not on me.

If you care to meet me somewhere, I can arrange for a...

You box of hell.

Okay, all right.

I can tell you that I won't be long.

Right,

Harry, if you need any help, mate, just give us a shout.

I'll be right here.

You are maker one flight less top table do I mr. Crawford?

270 pounds well Let's just call it

275 with the soda siphon

Cash

Little short of money, are we, Mr. Crawford?

Two -seven -five from the till, Sandra.

You can make your bid for Hugo's whenever you like.

Will that conflict with yours?

No, not at all.

I am relieved to hear that.

Now I took another look at the place and I decided that a dump like that was

more in your style than in mine.

I know all about you, Crawford. You're just a jumped -up fireman who got lucky.

Well, here's where your luck runs out. I wish you would.

I really wish you would.

Jackpot! 100 quid!

I don't bloody believe it.

It's not paying out.

Of course it isn't. It's one of Vic's machines, isn't it? Come on, let's go.

Just like he did on his family. Just like he did on me.

Calm down. We've got the license number, the registration number. Laura's on the

phone to all the florists in Nottingham. Something will turn up. No, he'll be

long gone.

Come on. He wants out. He wants to sign the papers.

There's every chance he'll phone me.

Oh, again.

I didn't want it to be like this.

Guess what?

Who did you know?

Yep, he just rang a minute ago. Left a number.

In a pub.

What made you change your mind, Harry? About you guys.

Rocky, are you at home on matters of high finance?

Me? You're joking.

Well, that makes two of us.

Are you in trouble?

You know, at this place?

Does Ellen know?

She knows some of it, Rocky.

That's why she went to London.

She could bail us out. Oh, maybe she can.

Well, like I say, she knows some of it.

But what she doesn't know is, I'm broke, son.

Here's the deal.

There's a windmill out at Smenton.

Yeah, right.

About nine o 'clock tonight.

You got that?

Oh, boom.

We'll make a fortune out of them. I'd have paid one to get rid of them.

It'll probably be some time before we can find a buyer, but unfortunately

going to have to make some redundancies immediately.

Woodcut has been my life for over five years, and I'll miss it.

And all of you very, very much.

But Philip wouldn't have wanted this to be a sad occasion, and neither do I.

So...

Here's to you and to your future.

And thank you very much indeed for all the hard work you've put into this

We've been a great team.

To Woodcote Park.

Woodcote Park.

You feeling better?

Yes, I am lots.

Sorry about losing it.

Don't be.

You've been under a lot of stress.

It all happened so quickly.

these. You know I want to make a lot of changes in my life.

I know.

Ken, after everything that's gone down with Terry, I've got to be careful.

I can't just rush into a new relationship.

You won't just write me off, will you?

You're not a

I better get going.

Wish me luck.

Hello?

My old man remembered when this was still a full working mill.

At least, he said he did.

But then he did used to tell a lot of fibs.

People do, don't they?

Got the papers?

You've got to sign both of them. Yeah, yeah, sure, I know.

Generous. Very generous.

You must want out of this as badly as I do.

I guess so.

Why do you want out so badly?

She seems it perfectly.

Yeah, well, you never work on that next one, mate.

So, that's it.

So, five years.

Someone must have been right some of the time.

You married, Boone?

Yeah, I guess all us runaway husbands ask you that, huh?

And then we say, take my tip, stay single.

Take my tip.

Single.

Hey.

Looking good, Becky.

Nobody walks out on me.

And the victim was the husband, the estranged husband.

I still can't believe what happened.

So she fired twice and then ran off. She didn't threaten you?

No.

Timeshare, eh?

Apartments. That's their plan.

Yeah, well, I suppose somebody will make money out of it, will they?

Well, you could buy in yourself.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it.

No, I'm not.

Time for a change.

Time to move on.

You got any ideas?

Tell him if I haven't a clue.

She hired me to find her husband to sign their divorce papers, and I found him,

all right? You certainly did, Mr Burton. Why the mill?

His brother.

He was after him. It was some kind of family trouble. Family trouble? What

family trouble? He'd stolen some money from him. Oh, yes.

He'd stolen from him, and his brother was after him. And that's why he had to

leave the country? That is what he told me.

Well, we'd better have a chat with them in the morning, haven't we?

This interview temporarily suspended.

22 .55.

Now then, Ken.

It's Rebecca.

How well did you know her?

How well did you think you knew her?

Hello, would you like pop?

Oh, hello, Ken.

Yes, but there won't be enough profit for you to go into something else,

Helen, I can clear my debts and have enough left over to get into something

else.

Harry, Ken's on the phone. He's in the nick.

He's in the nick. Someone's been shot.

Here you go, Ken.

I'd like no sugar.

Thanks.

I've got some bad news for you, Ken.

What?

Terry Patterson died 20 minutes ago.

Now what I've got is a murder.

What I'm going to find out over the next few minutes or hours is this.

Am I talking to an accessory?

Or am I talking to a murderer?

Ted, what's going on?

I just got here. Tell me. What's happened?

Well, Ken found about an hour ago. He said there'd been a shooting.

Now, he's come in here to make a statement and they say he's been held.

Not charged?

No, no. He definitely said held.

Have you phoned your solicitor?

Well, Helen was doing that when I left.

What?

OK.

Atchard sniffing around about phone.

And there's someone downstairs.

What, he's brief?

Business associate.

Our child says that the mouthpiece is on his way.

Well, he ain't going to confess tonight.

Don't matter. We can book him as an accessory, whatever the lawyer says.

They won't tell me a thing.

Yeah.

Yes, I know.

Look, Helen, let's get some sleep.

All right?

You don't look like the kind of bloke who's going to jump off the deep end for

bit of nookie.

You want to tell me exactly what she said to you?

To get you to do it? I did not do it.

I didn't know she was going to do it.

And I'm sick of bloody telling you!

And I'm sick of hearing it.

Ken, is anybody safe? Hey, something's up. The chief of the superiors just

arrived.

What? You can go.

What?

You're free to go.

Mrs. Patterson was picked up at a motorway services.

They're bringing her in.

To confess as soon as she heard her husband had died.

I should want a statement from you, you know.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah? Yeah, Harry.

Yeah, I'll let them know.

Is he all right?

OK.

Ken's fine.

They're not going to charge him.

Charge him with what?

I don't know.

I've got to ask.

What happened?

Rebecca.

She shot her old man.

Killed him.

Okay.

Oh.

There's no point in knocking around here, mate.

Leave me, Harry.

Leave me.

Such me, mate.

I

just

can't stop thinking

about you.

No.

I just can't.
