Look here. What is it? Bird nest. Got

eggs.

>> Chuck it away, [ __ ]

>> Chuck it away.

Get it here.

>> None of them matched. Not a one. They'll

be adultled.

>> I dare say.

>> Of course. Well, been there since

summer.

>> And bird must have left them. Dudes,

maybe. The bird should know.

>> Let's have it.

>> I tell you what, I'll keep him for my

Edna's young. He'll blow him clean.

>> Good luck to him. Come on.

Adle spoiler.

>> Filthy stinking idle.

>> They was pretty.

>> You get back to work.

Hello, Mr. Grace.

[Music]

>> Hello, Mr. Pic.

>> Oh, got him. Did you? How's it coming?

>> Well, there's room in there for a

freezer. Just a matter of getting it

through all this, you see.

>> Oh, can't you shift Dick?

>> Oh, well, you never know what you're

starting.

>> I'll do me best.

>> All right, mud. Good boy. It's all over

now.

>> He don't like noise.

>> Would you mind just for a minute?

>> Oh, dear.

>> I reckon it's me.

>> Mud, you're a bad cat. What did you call

him?

>> Mud. Well, that is Mudslinger when he

was a kitten. You know, big feet.

>> That'll do. It's funny. They said he was

so good on the train. I expect he's

tired. I'll take him through there to

settle down.

>> Got a thirst on, I dare say.

>> No, he was all provided for. Oh, is that

a hint, Mr. Viddy? I'll make a cup of

tea in a minute.

>> All right, dear. Calm down. It's all

right.

You can stay in there till you behave.

I'm going to tell on you.

Shh.

All right, Marty. Take it easy. Be

quiet.

Hello. Hello, Daddy. Yes, it's me. Yes,

I've got him. Thank you so much for

sending him and for having him. He's

been behaving like he is now.

>> Was he? Well, you just listen to him.

I'm keeping him shut up till he behaves.

Well, just for a minute to show him

who's boss. Oh, yes. Fine. He's just

fine. He's loving his work. The cottage

fine. Well, it's terrible, but there's

hope. I'm just doing the curtains.

>> Yes, he's fine now. Or she kicking me

steadily. It's going to be all right

this time. 6 months now. I'll soon be

into the countdown.

>> I said I'll soon be into the countdown.

It's that awful cat. Never mind. I

better let him out now. Thank you for

sending in, Daddy. And thanks for all

you've done and and you are doing. You

come and see the place soon, right?

>> Bye bye now.

>> Oh, Cat, you really are.

>> This is your home and you're going to

like it.

>> Oh,

[ __ ] M.

Oh, darling. Mr. Bick, stop him. Hi

then.

>> Oh, he just run out.

>> He's gone. Can you help me?

Muddy. Muddy.

Muddy. Come back. Muddy.

Mud.

Muddy.

>> No good.

>> [ __ ] cat. Puss. Puss. B. Come back.

>> Won't be b. You see?

>> M.

>> Look at him go. Hold that edge. No,

>> he'll get lost. Muddy.

Muddy.

>> Muddy.

>> The hell's going on?

>> Oh, Peter. It's Mudslinger. He's run

away. I just collected him.

>> You should have seen him. Where is he

now?

>> He went down by the trees. So, please go

and find him.

>> Well, if he doesn't come back,

>> he'll get lost. He doesn't know the

country. He'll get confused.

>> Not him. He's just feeling his freedom.

Wait till hungry. He'll show up. That's

right. He got his regular bowl. Put some

food in that. When he comes sniffing

around, he'll know his own.

>> Mr. Biddick, you'd make a good vet.

>> Watch it, Squire. I'll have your job off

you.

>> Well, I'm going down then.

>> Joe, don't fret, Mrs. Joe. It'll keep.

>> I'll make the tea.

>> No, matter. Time to finish anyway. I'll

go and fetch the old fella.

Perfect.

>> I like our stant.

>> He's a character.

>> Yeah.

>> Plays up to you.

>> Oh, look.

>> He didn't help.

>> Why?

>> To get the cat. He could have.

>> Time for a drink.

It's

>> not for me.

>> You sure?

>> Oh, little one won't hurt you.

>> Well, there's no need to be strictly on

the wagon. I mean, not at this stage.

Something weak.

>> I've just lost the taste.

>> It was this place, you know, being here.

He didn't like it.

>> What? Old Mudslinger.

>> He was fine until I brought him inside.

And in that case, let's sell up.

>> Oh, I simply

>> No, no, no. Scrub everything. Go back to

town just to please the cat.

>> Peter, listen.

>> No, you listen to me.

>> I have just had a pretty good day. About

the best day I've had for a very long

time. I've worked myself really hard and

everything was all right. No, it was

more than all right. It was marvelous.

I've been meeting worthwhile people and

helping them and it was needed and I was

needed and then I come back to this

stupid fuss.

>> All right. I'm sorry. That's just what

I've escaped from. Fuss.

>> But constipated poodles, Scotties with

overgrown toenails because they never

went out, and hamsters and putting down

sick old budgies.

>> It wasn't all that.

>> Oh, yes, it was.

Well, most of it.

Oh, no matter. Never mind. I'm a real

vet now.

Do you know what I did today? I was out

tuberculin testing a herd of cows.

Pedigree guns. Oh, there's some good in

the world. And they're so beautiful.

And then the farmer and his family.

Well, you'll have to meet them. That's

all. You'll just have to meet them.

>> I'm so glad that

>> And as I was driving back, the land all

looked so incredible. I just had to pull

up and oh, the smell of the earth, the

air. I just knew then this was it.

>> Darling,

>> I sat there feeling grateful. Oh, I've

been so damn lucky. I've got into

partnership with a fine man. And he is,

Dickies. You'll get to know him. There's

so much in him. This is his world, and

he's let me in on it. And that's not a

thing to be taken for granted.

>> Well, he has done pretty well out of

this.

>> He deserves to. He works like a demon.

Oh, now that I've watched him,

and the stories he tells. Oh, he's

great. Hey, we'll have to get more booze

in here. Dick's a whiskey man. So, you

see, I'm committed.

>> So am I.

>> Yeah, I know. Of course you are. I'm

sorry. I didn't mean

>> I just can't get so excited about it. I

was brought up in the country, so it's

just the country.

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, you look committed.

>> You do. Just like a house.

>> I've really popped.

>> You're beautiful.

>> Like a gernzie.

Uh, I'll say good night then.

>> Good night, Mr. Biddick. See you

tomorrow.

>> Good night.

>> How's it going on?

>> He's been chopping away at that wall.

Bit nervous. You never know what you

starting message.

>> Let's take a look.

>> Okay,

>> come on.

Mhm.

>> I'll put some food out.

>> How wide is that freezer?

>> The one I saw.

>> Uh, the discount one.

>> It was big. I should have measured it.

>> Well, it'll never go through here.

He's going to have to open this right

up.

>> Oh, do you think you should?

>> Why not?

>> Well, it's his job.

>> He hasn't done it and I'm paying.

>> Leave it.

>> No.

[Music]

[Music]

>> Hey, look at this.

>> It's hollow.

Well, it's certainly not supporting

anything. That's obvious.

So, we'll just lose it.

>> Wait,

>> what?

>> I think I can see something in there.

>> What?

>> Looks like a jar.

>> Okay, careful.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

All

[Music]

right.

[Music]

It's heavy.

What the hell?

>> You're storing something

>> in the wall.

It's been sealed with something.

Wax or tallow.

It was once.

>> Peter H.

>> I don't know if we

Oh [ __ ]

>> Oh god, it's something dead.

Kitchen tongs.

>> Thanks.

Okay.

Re

somebody's pet.

Once upon a time.

>> A cat.

>> No.

Mind you,

it's not a dog either

or a puppy of any kind.

A lamb?

Nah,

it's more like a little pig, but

>> a pig with fur.

>> Oh, exactly. That's why it can't be.

It must be a lamb. But

a lamb with claws.

>> Get rid of it.

>> See what I mean?

>> I don't want to look at it. Can't you

take it outside and bury it or

something?

>> It's interesting.

>> It's horrible.

>> I just It will probably turn out to be

nothing unusual, just deceptive in the

way that it's dried out. But Well, I'd

like to show it to Dick.

>> Oh, do you have to? Oh,

>> he'd be interested. A farmyard monster

cross between two animals that ought to

have known better. Eh,

mind you, it is interesting.

You know, I'm not sure that it was ever

actually born.

You going to make dust?

>> Not my choosing. If little hands will

interfere, it'll spoil the paint.

>> Let it.

>> Oh dear.

>> Morning.

>> Sorry, Mr. Bick. I overslept. I had a

bad night. Did you see my husband?

>> We had a quick word about this.

>> Better do it yourself, eh?

>> Well, he he had to find out.

>> Oh, no thanks, Mrs. Girl, cuz I'll soon

put it to right.

He said he found an old jar.

>> Yes.

>> Some dark things you find.

>> He must have taken it,

got rid of it.

>> I think I saw your cat this morning.

Huh?

>> Few fields off as I was riding my bike

up gear.

You'll be back.

Where is he?

>> I'm sure

>> it's a cat. You mean

>> I know he's somewhere.

>> What's in there?

>> That thing we found.

Can we look inside if you want?

>> What the hell?

>> Like a little monkey or

No, this is in the wall.

>> Yes.

>> I should get shut on it.

Get it out of here.

Get it gone.

No. What are you doing? What the hell do

you think you're doing?

Why did you do that? Why? I told you I

wanted to show it to Dick.

>> Josephine, I'll tell you frankly, when I

first set eyes on this man of yours

here, I thought to myself, good grief,

this for a partner. A peck is a coocher.

But I took a chance and every day proves

me right. He He's got it. You know, he's

a natural with big animals.

>> I thought he would be,

>> but he's a big lad. Long arms. You need

them for a pricky carving. You know the

smallest vet I ever knew, Ben Adams.

God, he threaded a big cow. Oh, how they

used to tease him. Watch it, Ben. Watch

it. She left calf out and you in

pregnant with a bloody vet. What?

Fill that up. Good man. Tell you what,

love. Pete's the one that's got taken.

He's got me for a partner. The crudest

shocker in the county. And that's saying

something, mind you. Heart of gold. H.

Hey Pete, how's that? Thank you, man.

Here frozen.

Like Joe,

you've done this place proud, huh? I

like the friendly bit, you know. I think

they may be a mistake. Now they're all

right.

>> You knew it before.

>> I wonder Jackson's had it.

>> Yeah, we only met them the once.

>> He was a loony.

>> Yes, funny chap. He he had an ocean to

start a dog farm here, breed dulations

and make his fortune out of the crime

witch. He paid the earth for a prize

[ __ ] And you know what? She made a

fool of him every time.

>> How blew it? Misfired.

>> She lost her puppies.

>> He used to get into such a tear with a

rave, not a curse, not a curse. Me too.

In the end, he blamed the land and got

rid of her.

>> The land?

>> You know these feels. See, I tried to

explain to him there was cattle

sickness, not not dogs. Couldn't make

him see the difference. You mean these

fields here? Yes, we were talking about

it the other day. Of course we were. I

remember. Oh, come again. It might have

been that fell in the pub.

>> What about these fields?

>> Well, you must have noticed.

>> They're not in use. No stock on them.

Nothing. Mind you, they're no great lost

or so small sickness. Brucelos.

>> Ah, by the sound. Of course, it was all

ancient history even before my time, but

that's what it' be.

>> You mean contagious abortion?

>> That's right, love. Very nasty. So if

these fields got a name for it, will not

surprise you. Nobody risked their cat.

>> But there's vaccine.

>> Oh, they know.

>> 100% effective.

>> You tried telling them that. They just

won't chance it. Oh, I've done my bit.

You know, I even clear the badgers out.

>> The badgers?

>> Oh, quite a few that were down there. I

got most of them.

>> You don't really believe the badges?

>> Oh, hell. You do what you can. Could be

carried by any bloody thing. Earthworms,

insects,

>> a germ.

>> Sunday name, Brucella abort.

A germ.

>> All right. A germ.

>> How do you know it was a germ that

caused it?

>> It must have been.

>> But you don't know.

>> What else?

>> A germ. A germ. You think so and you

believe it. It's got to be. But you

don't know. You don't know at all. How

can you?

>> Joe.

>> Put a bit of Latin on it and it really

wrapped it up.

>> Oh my god. This comes to Talen shop.

Look at her. She's scared stiff. Tell

her quick. Tell her, will you? She can't

catch it better from you.

>> That's right.

There can be no danger. Not enough.

Josephine, my love, listen.

It won't happen to you. It makes cows

abort. But you're not a cow. You're

beautifully in the club, and you're

going to stay that way until the proper

time. Understood?

You asked him here to show him

something. You'd better do that.

All right. All right.

>> Well, you see how she is.

>> My fault. Well, you tried to explain.

You do what you can, but what I said was

true. If there were cows on this land,

and if they got infected, and if she

drank their milk, then she might catch

something. But no risk to the baby.

>> Oh, she knows that.

>> What the hell? Oh, vets wise,

they always know enough to upset them.

You know, when my first wife was in

part, it wasn't just medical books. She

go through my textbooks as well. Huh? A

pregnant woman with glanders and swine

fever is something to dread. Maybe

another woman to talk to. I tell you

what, tell her to drop in my Dorothy. I

don't know, though. She's tackless.

She's worse than me.

I say,

what's this?

Well, I don't know.

It's weird. All right.

Might be. Look, look at those teeth.

It's fragile, isn't it? I mean, the

point is, are they second teeth? I mean,

are they erupted at all or the gums just

dried away?

>> See what you mean? A bigger animal,

newborn

>> or unborn?

>> I mean, there's been so much distortion

and shriveling. The bones may still have

been soft.

>> Let's stop guessing. We'll do a

postmortem. Yes, we could.

>> About 50 years too late.

>> Never mind.

>> It's older than that.

>> It could be. You know, that's what we'll

do then. Get it over to the surgery.

Take some samples of bone and hair. Damn

blast. We can't do it tonight. We're

going out hell. Hey,

what's this blacken bit here?

>> Joe tried to burn it,

>> didn't she?

>> Mhm. Well, it's not exactly cuddly.

>> No, but interesting.

Where was this?

>> Come on, I'll show you.

>> Well, I say this is all very mod.

>> Ah, well, it wasn't. It was a dirty

great bulge. Well, just where you're

standing now.

>> Sort of plarted over that jar.

>> No, no, no. Hollow shape to take it.

>> Proper little tomb.

>> Mhm.

>> Bricks and mortar

floor under this. These cards just go

back ahead of an age. Hm. 3 400 years.

The agent said

>> much as that.

>> Well, parts of it anyway.

>> You know that thing could have been

planted just as long.

>> Who would put it there?

>> Have you got a bag, Josephine? Just to

shove it in. You know, we're going to

get it out of your way.

>> Yes.

>> We're going to conduct a rather belated

autopsy. Try and find out if it was a

giant spineless hedgehog or a she's

kitten or just a watch it.

>> Will that do?

>> Lovely. Thanks.

Here

we are.

All right, Pete. Okay, with it. Now, you

better get home quick before Dorothy

gets her curlers out or she turns ugly.

Night out, love.

>> I'm sorry.

>> What?

>> You know about just now.

>> Oh, Josephine, my love.

As one road shocker to another, it's

forgotten.

Did I wanted to ask you

>> far away

>> about the Jacksons? Were they here long?

>> From their early days, I think.

>> Did they have any children?

>> I don't think they did.

>> Oh, I was just interested.

>> Of course. Look. Good night.

>> Good night.

Watch her.

Well,

we'll have some fun with this.

>> I can't wait.

>> You're not I mean, not tonight.

>> Don't worry, Pete. I won't do a thing

without you. Oh my god, this bag is all

splitty. I'll find you another. Right.

All right. Look, uh you're in a hurry.

Why don't you leave it and I'll uh bring

it over tomorrow.

>> That's all right. I tell you what,

though.

Keep it out of her way, will you?

>> Yeah. Yes, of course.

>> We do Lankton's place together in the

afternoon, right?

>> The pigs.

>> Oh, yes.

See you then.

Yes. Bye, Dick.

>> Cheers.

Still no son pushka. I think he's

deserted us.

>> Oh, he'll make himself a living. Plenty

of field mice to fill up on. Oh, thank

you.

>> Sugar.

>> So, Arthur got that sour jam again.

Didn't Mrs. Bed jam

still got it? E.

>> Oh, that it's empty.

>> How about the um

you know,

>> it's been taken away to be investigated.

to find out what it is or what it was.

>> Don't they know what it was?

>> It was in pretty bad shape. That can

make it difficult to be certain.

>> That's right. I remember a thing washed

up as it was a sea serpent. Turned out

to be a whale all rotted away. Give it a

neck. You see, whales don't have a neck.

>> I mean what it was for.

No,

>> he didn't know either.

It had purpose.

>> You mean bad purpose?

>> Most like

>> that saying it was some kind of charm.

You see, if a thing wouldn't happen by

nature, if nature wouldn't bring it

about, then such as that might serve

>> to do what? To bring what about?

>> How would I know?

>> You talk as if you

you mean make something bad happen?

>> Could be that.

>> Well, it wouldn't be anything good.

>> It would be arm.

You see, in them days, they'd believe

they could put arm on a person or a

place.

>> A place

>> on lands. It was often done.

>> You said they who do you mean?

>> Somebody.

>> Somebody bad.

>> Wise in them powers to cast them and to

fix them. Now, that little brute you

found, they always add such as those,

nobody's sure what it was.

That's the way, you see, to hold the

power, to bind it. That's what they'd

reckon.

>> Tell us about the fairies, Arthur.

>> A thing like that,

it' have been suckled, you know.

What

>> human suckling to set it to work?

>> You all right, Mrs. Don't mind him. Are

you right or fool? Arthur, get that tea

down. There's work to do.

>> You sure you're all right?

>> Yes.

So, I'm all right. I'm I'm going out to

look for the cat. I'm quite all right.

Maddie,

Marty.

buddy.

Hello.

Hello.

more.

Good job. I seen you. Could he do

himself a mischief running like that in

your condition?

>> I'm all right.

>> Something frighten you? Did you see

anything?

>> No.

>> What are you staring at, Arthur? Nothing

better to do. I tell you what, it was

his stupid talk. Didn't I say to you not

to pay him no attention?

>> Oh, look at me.

>> Down among the trees, were you?

>> Yes. Yes, I was in the woods.

>> Uh, well, get back to my drain pipes,

then. Arthur, I need you to give me an

Oh, I'll just finish off here.

>> Hurry it. Uh, knock it off a bit early

tonight, Mrs. Gils.

>> Oh, are you?

>> F wants an estimate.

Hello there. MS.

>> Yes, Mr. Bik.

>> We just are. All right. Are you?

>> Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm fine now. I'll see

you tomorrow.

>> Night.

Night.

Mr. Vidic.

[Music]

Don't come near me, Peter.

>> Don't touch me. Can't you see I'm

covering mater?

>> Oh, do stop waffling, woman, and give me

a hand.

>> Oh, what the hell is that doing there?

>> What you just trying to

>> enough the lot and drop right in his

bloody pigsty. as if you need telling.

Oh, great idiot pork is about half a ton

each. Shoving about and down I went. Put

some disinfectant on that lot, will you?

It's probably done for, but please try.

Going to have a bath. And I may as well

tell you I finished with dick.

>> Why?

>> He was watching. Laughed himself stupid.

>> I mean, the man's got no standards. He

doesn't give a damn. Mind you, he's all

they want around here and he's good

enough for them.

All right, I'm getting out. I shall give

my formal notice tomorrow and that's it.

>> What?

>> Well, if you find you simply can't work

with somebody,

>> leave here.

>> Yes.

All right. All right. This time, I'm

sure.

I should have gone after that research

job. The chap I saw practically promised

it.

>> Did he?

>> Was good as

Joe. I've got to.

>> All right.

>> I mean, he was most encouraging.

>> Yes. Yes. I think you should get in

touch with him. Can you do that? Yeah,

I've still got his address somewhere.

>> Well, ring him straight away. Make an

appointment. I'll come with you. It

helps sometimes.

>> Do you mean that?

>> Yes.

>> But I thought you'd mind.

>> I want to go, too.

>> You sure you're not just I mean, you've

done so much.

>> I hate it here. I didn't at first, but I

do now. There's something wrong here. I

thought it was just the atmosphere, but

today

I thought

I heard

I thought that

>> Hey, it's the pregnancy.

>> No,

>> it was the same last time, remember? Had

some pretty odd days then.

>> Oh, that was different. That was because

things went wrong.

I'll put those clothes into soap.

Hello there.

>> Hello.

>> Where's the lad? Oh, he's back. I can

smell he's back.

>> Oh, what a thing to say. Peter's in the

bath.

>> I bet he is. is

>> pigs. Oh, I hate pigs.

>> Pete, come on out of it.

>> I was just now. Give that to me, dear.

Don't upset yourself. I'm more used to

it than you are.

>> She is, too. The time I've gone ass over

tip and muck. We're going to celebrate

Peep's baptism of fire. God, he got

himself to a real tear. You know, you

wouldn't speak to me.

>> You said you laughed at him.

>> Of course I did. It was funny. You'd

have laughed yourself sick, too, if

you'd been

Pete. When a man's been through what

you've been through, and I mean that

literally. The palm clings. It gets in

the mind. I brought the only known cure

to be applied internally. Glasses. Where

they? Ah, here we are.

[Music]

>> Peter's got something to say.

>> Here, take your medicine.

Repeat dose till patient starts to sing

and dance.

I put it outside, dear. It's best.

>> Yes. Thank you.

>> Dick says your cat ran away.

>> I think he was frightened.

>> He'll be back now for a drink.

Dick's talked him round.

>> Then the father knew he would. He says

to me, you see, that new fell yours, he

looks like a clown, but he'll do.

>> I have this problem. See that he see he

hadn't paid his bill. Yeah. But of

course if he hadn't paid his bill I No.

I mean if he had paid his bill I would

not

>> see what you mean.

>> Yeah.

>> That rocker slice. I like it.

>> Yes. Don't often see that kind these

days.

>> Josephine.

Look at her. Sitting there like a Watson

on a bloody monument or a bloody jug.

Mind you, that was good. Best feet a

bacon and egg. I've had it for years. A

lot of it. And you know that's what

counts. Fight them around sometime.

>> Yes, very well.

>> Make that stuff you used to make. You

know, with all the bits in it, all the

kinds of fish.

>> I never made it.

>> Of course you do.

>> I hate fish.

>> He used to make it.

>> Not me.

>> He did.

>> It was her.

>> Huh?

>> It was his first wife.

>> My god. It was I forgot.

Oh, that calls for a song, I think.

Mickey forever walked over the land. He

walked it all over with his stick in his

hand. He walked it all night and he

walked it all day. Looking for the brown

cow that did stray away.

When Mickey came home, this master did

say, "Oh, are you Mickey this night and

day?" Oh, master dear master.

[Music]

And he kept on.

>> Oh, look out. I nearly went over then.

Wouldn't thank me for that.

>> Listen. Bet these

are wedding presents.

>> It's nice pattern. I like it.
