Come on, then. Come on!

00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,960
I think you're with Mr Gould today,
Mary.

6
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,960
It's been changed,
and not so much of the "Mary".

7
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,960
So you'd like me to collect you
next week, would you, Mrs Haynes?

8
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,960
You don't listen, do you?
You're all the same, you do-gooders.

9
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,000
So busy imitating the angels,
you just don't listen!

"Good night, Angela,
thank you for your help."

(ANGRY) "My pleasure, Mrs Haynes.
My pleasure!"

12
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,960
You've been in here again!
You've been in here again!

13
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,960
You break my front door
and you are paying for it!

14
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960
Yeah, you're living in the past!

15

Here you are.

There's some milk.

18
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,160
They think because you get old,
you get stupid.

19
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Well, they're not having
what's mine.

20
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960
They're not having it.

21
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Mr Frost,
I wondered if I might have a word.

22
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,960
Yes, certainly, Mr erm..?

23
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Bright. Mr Bright.

24
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,960
Bright. Right...Bright.

25
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,960
Yes, Mr Bright?

26
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,960
This is very embarrassing and
I hope you won't take it amiss.

27
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Oh, yes, what's that, Mr Bright?

28
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Not to put too fine a point on it -
it's your back garden.

29
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
(ENGINE FAILS TO START)
I mean,

30
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960
I know we're newcomers
to the neighbourhood

31
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,480
and I appreciate that you're a busy
man, you would be in your business.

32
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,960
It really isn't very nice to
look out of a bedroom window and -

33
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
I know, absolutely.
You're quite right.

34
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,800
I'll get something done about it,
Mr Bright.

35
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,960
That's very civil of you.

36
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Oh, just a minute, I was wanting
to have a word with you, anyway.

37
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Oh yes, why's that?
Could you give me a push?

38
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,960
Someone breaks in and takes
the only money she's got

39
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960
and what do you people do about it,
eh? Nothing!

40
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,960
All she gets is a follow-up visit
from some stupid cow

41
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Who says, "Is she all right?"
and "Would she like a cup of tea?"

42
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,000
Just look at the state of her! She's
terrified to go to bed at night!

43
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Do something, all right?
Do something!

44
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,640
Don't waste your time -
they're useless!

00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,960
How about this
pornography business?

46
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,960
We're very near. By the end of
the week, I'll be giving 'em a pull.

47

JACK!
Have you got a minute?

48
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Yes. Morning, gentlemen.
What can I do for you?

49
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960
About these Old Aged Pensioners
getting turned over -

50
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,960
No, "senior citizens", please.

51
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,960
I see there was another one
two nights ago.

52
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,480
Yes, sir, little old lady
living on her own.

53
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,960
Someone broke in,
took £80 in used fivers.

54
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,960
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's
the 16th break-in in three weeks.

55
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,960
I haven't kept count,
but you're probably right.

56
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
As it happens, I'm exactly right.

57

life savings.

What are we doing about it?
What the hell can we do about it?

59
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,960
He doesn't leave any forensic
and no-one's ever seen him.

60
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,960
I mean, it wasn't so bad if he was
taking jewellery and flogging it.

61
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,960
I might get a whisper, but he
doesn't, he takes bits and pieces.

62
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,160
He concentrates on cash.
What about the blue van?

63
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Yes, yes, that's right -
the famous blue van.

64
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,960
It's something for you to go on?
Yes, sir.

65
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,960
In 16 burglaries, two people -
two, mark you

66
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,960
- said they thought they saw
a blue van parked nearby.

67
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,960
The first one said it was
definitely a small blue van.

68
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960
The other one said it was
a big van, probably blue,

69
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,960
but couldn't be certain!
Well, it's a lead, Jack, of a sort.

70
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Which presumably
you're following up.

71
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,960
Yes, sir, but do you realise
how many blue vans there are

72
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,960
in the Denton area alone?
It doesn't matter how many -

73
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,960
the computer can churn
out information in seconds.

74
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,000
Yes, sir, we have -
and it's already done that.

75
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,480
But what it can't do -
it can't go knocking on doors

76
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,960
asking stupid questions!

77
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,960
That comes down to PC Plod
and that takes time

78
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,960
and that comes out of your budget...
"Sir"!

79
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,000
Now, if there's nothing else,
my sausage sandwich is congealing.

80
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,800
No? Good. Thank you.

81
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Are you happy with that sort of
negative attitude, Jim?

82
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,960
What time did you get in?
Oh, don't start. Just don't start.

83
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Why didn't you come to bed?

84
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,800
Because I fell asleep down here,
all right?

85
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800
Look at the state of you.

86
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Yeah, well.

87
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,960
Bit of an 'eadcase, aren't I?

88
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Her milk's still out.

89
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,960
Hm?
Next door.

90
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,960
Her milk's still out.

91
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,960
And I could hear her cat, behind the
door, like it's trying to get out.

92
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Think I'll see if she's all right.
Oh, just leave it.

93
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,960
Don't be silly, she's an old lady.
I said leave it.

94
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,960
You don't give a toss about anyone,
do you?

95
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,960
No, not about that old cow,
I don't, no.

Come on, Jim,
he gets right up my nose.

102
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Make the effort, please.
Yes, all right, I'll try.

103
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Oh, and Jack...he's a little
concerned about the way you dress.

104
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,800
The way I what?!

105
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,960
You know, your shirts and stuff.

106
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,960
Oh, that's great, that is!

107
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,960
So far today - my garden, my attitude
and now my shirts. Anything else?

108
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,960
Jack!
I know, don't tell me,

109
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,640
you don't like
the way I park my car?

00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,320
Another old girl's been turned over,
this time he beat her up.

111
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,960
Pretty badly by all accounts.

112

Oh no...

113
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Anyone home?
In here, guv.

114
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,960
This is where it happened, is it?

115
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,160
They found her in this chair.
They? Who are they?

116
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,960
The couple next door.
WPC Wallace is with them now.

117
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,960
Yes, yes, I know, I saw.

118
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,480
How do you mean, chair?
She was sitting in this chair.

119
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Someone comes in, beats her to pulp
and she just sits there, does she?

120
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,960
No, I'm saying
that's how they found her.

121
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,960
I don't suppose she put up
much of a fight.

122
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,000
She's 76-years-old
and crippled with arthritis.

123
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,960
Is that her stick there?
Presumably, guv.

124
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,960
That's how you found it?
Against the chair like that?

125

That's her handbag? Unopened?
That's how we found it.

126

There must've been blood everywhere.
But the place is immaculate.

No blood, no mess,
everything in its place -

128
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,960
He must have tidied up after him.

129
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,960
I wish he'd come and tidy my place.

If anything.

Her pension book shows
she drew her money yesterday,

133
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800
but her purse was empty.

134
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,320
Maybe she spent it.
She must live well -

135
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,000
there's nearly a quid's worth
of food in there (!)

136
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,480
Find out how much she drew out.

137
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Some of them leave it a week or two.
Could be quite a bundle.

138
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,960
It's already in hand.

139
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,960
Thought it might be. Just trying to
impress you with my laser-like mind.

140
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,960
What about jewellery?

141
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Nothing seems
to have been disturbed.

142
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,960
It's whether anybody knows.
She's a widow. No family.

143
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,960
Apart from the cat.

144
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,000
Well, what do you reckon?
The same bloke?

145
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,960
I don't see it, guv.
No?

146
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,960
The way she was attacked, the way
the place was left, no forced entry.

147
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,960
No, this is a one-off.
Well, hopefully it's a one-off.

148
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,960
If next door came in,
the chain must have been off.

149
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,960
Maybe she hadn't put it on.

150
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,960
That's more like it, I suppose.

151
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,960
Jack!
Tell me something good.

152
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,960
A lady across the road
wants to speak to the man in charge.

153
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,640
Will I do?
Number 37, Mrs Barrett.

154
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,960
See what you can find out next door.

155
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,960
I want a team knocking on the doors,

156
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,960
Forensic giving us priority, someone
sitting by the old girl's bed.

157
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,320
If I've forgotten anything,
I want that done too.

158
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Oh, yes. And by the way,
in order to keep Mr Mullett happy,

159
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,960
see if anyone's seen a blue van
about, will you?

160
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,960
Blue van? Yeah. 37, did you say?
Yeah, number 37.

161
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Oh you've checked that?
Let's have a look.

162
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,320
And then, when I opened the door...

163
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,640
..and I saw her just sitting there,
with her face all...

164
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,320
Anyway...
I ran out and I got Dean...

165
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,960
..and he came in and stayed with her

166
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,960
while I went across the road
to phone the ambulance.

167
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,960
Ours had been cut off. They don't
think about emergencies, do they?

168
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,800
That's all I know.

169
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,960
And the chain wasn't on the door?
I didn't know she had one.

170
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Well, that's all I need to know
for now.

171
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Is she gonna be all right?

172
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,160
About a 50-50 chance, they reckon.

173
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,960
How can someone do that?

174
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,960
Yeah.

175
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,480
I hate poking my nose in,
but I thought it might be useful.

176
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960
I mean, the state of her...

177
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,160
They were having a row, Mrs Haynes
and that couple from next door.

178
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Well? Neighbours row all the time.

179
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,960
It was about her key.
Eh?

180
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,960
She keeps a spare key
hidden in the garden.

181
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Daft, if you ask me.
Everyone knows where it is.

182
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,160
As far as I could tell,

183
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,960
she'd found it moved
and accused him of taking it.

184
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,960
If everyone knows, why pick on him?
They'd argued before.

185
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,960
She'd accused him of poking about
while she was at the hospital.

186
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,960
I see. Is that likely?
Dunno. He's a bit of a layabout.

187
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,960
That girlfriend of his looked
worried out of her mind.

188
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,960
Still, I suppose he must've done
something right

189
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,480
or she wouldn't have stuck with him,
would she? No.

190
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,320
So, that was
about five o'clock last night?

191
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,960
About that.

192
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,960
You didn't see anything after that?

193
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,960
No. Not until
I saw her go in the house today.

194
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,960
But not last night?

195
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,160
No, I was out. My fancy man picked
me up and we went for a drive.

196
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,960
Your fancy man, eh?

197
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,960
He only wants us to get engaged.

198
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,320
Mark you, I couldn't marry him,
even if I wanted to.

199
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,960
Oh. Why's that?

200
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,960
I lied to him.
If we got married he'd find out.

201
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,960
Find out about what?

202
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,960
I told him I was 67
and I'm really...

203
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,800
..68.

204
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960
(TUTS) Now, that IS naughty.

205
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,960
I know what they all think -

206
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,640
silly old cow with her blonde wig,
painted fingernails...

207
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,960
..still running after
a pair of trousers.

208
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,960
But getting older doesn't mean
you stop having feelings.

209
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,960
It doesn't mean to say that you...

210
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Well, you don't want to reach out...

211
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,480
and feel a warm body
lying next to you

212
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,640
when you wake up in the morning.

213
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,960
IF you wake up in the morning.

214
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Yeah.

215
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,960
Excuse me, can you tell me
where Ward Five is?

216
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Through the doors and up the stairs.

217
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960
How is she?

218
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,960
She opened her eyes
but she's still not with us.

219
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800
Mrs Haynes?

220
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,160
If I'm to get the hero
that did this,

221
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,960
I'm gonna need your help.

222
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,960
I need a description.

223
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,640
Anything.

224
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,640
If you understand me,
just squeeze my hand.

225
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,960
Why would he do this to her?

226
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,480
I dunno, sir. Perhaps she
caught him at it and he panicked.

227
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,800
She was half crippled.
She couldn't move.

228
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,960
No.

229
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Thump her a bit, yeah, but...

230
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960
..but not this.

231
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,960
No, Constable.

232
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,960
I just don't understand it.

233
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,000
Neither do I, sir.

234
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,960
But I don't understand
a lot of things in this job.

235
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,640
Ain't that a fact, Constable?
Ain't that a fact?

236
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,640
Turn right when you get to the gate.

237
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,800
On second thoughts, turn left.

238
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,160
I've got something urgent to do
up the high street.

239
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,960
Hello, love.

240
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,960
She was a misery by all accounts.
No-one's got a good word for her.

241
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Mind you, she was
in a lot of pain with arthritis.

242
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,960
She's in more bloody pain now.

243
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Tell me something.
When was her birthday?

244
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,960
Er, October 26th, 1917.

245
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,960
Well, somebody liked her.
Gave her a present.

246
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,960
There was wrapping paper in the bin.

247
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,160
Well, that's useful, guv.

248
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,320
Are you trying to be funny?
Me, guv? No, wouldn't dare.

249
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960
She collected her pension
from the post office.

250
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
She was in there yesterday
for the first time in three weeks.

251
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,960
How much is three weeks'?
£165, near enough. In new notes.

252
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,960
The bank'll have a record.

253
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Urgent message from fingerprints -
they've got an identification.

254
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,960
Dean Ronald Hoskins, aged 24.

255
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Three previous. Burglary,
breaking and entering, assault -

256
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,960
Hoskins. That's the bloke next door.

257
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,960
D'you want him brought in?

258
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,960
No! We know he was in there
cos he found her.

259
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,160
He SAID he found her.
If he's in it, so's his girlfriend.

260
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,960
Let me finish.
All right. Carry on.

261
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960
His fingerprints were all over
the old girl's handbag.

262
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,960
Good afternoon.

263
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,960
Oi! Where d'you think you're going?
You've got no right!

264
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,160
Just cos he's got a record. When was
the last time he did anything?

265
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,960
Oi! Get out! Going to search
the cornflakes, are you?

266
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Get out! Bloody fascist bastards!

267
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,960
Bit behind with your payments,
aren't you, love?

268
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,960
So bloody what? We owe a few bob,

269
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,960
does that mean he'll beat up some
old lady?

270
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800
You are sick.
That's what you are, you're sick.

271
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,960
No, you're just like me.
Never pay till I get the red one.

272
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Keep 'em waiting, eh?

273
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
And for your information,
Miss Reynolds,

274
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,320
it's not because the light
of your life here has got a record,

275
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,960
it's because his fingerprints
were found

276
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,960
all over the old lady's handbag.

277
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,960
Yeah, so I was in there.
You know I was.

278
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,960
Yes, but I didn't know you were
poncing about with her bag, did I?

279
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,960
It was on the floor, all right?
I picked it up.

280
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Why were you touching her
handbag in the first place? 'Ey?

281
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,320
You heard, son. I said, what were
you doing touching her handbag?

282
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,960
Jack.

283
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,960
So, you have a row, then you go in
to see if she's OK.

284
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,960
How do you account for that?

285
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,960
Because she's a human being,
you smug cow!

286
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,960
We're not standing for this.
This is victimisation.

287
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,960
Can you tell me what this is doing
in your airing cupboard?

288
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,960
It's my giro money. So what?

289
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,960
Oh. You put it in there in case an
old lady breaks in and nicks it?

290
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,160
Dean?

291
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,800
I'll tell you so what, Mr Hoskins.

292
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,960
When she drew her pension,
they recorded the numbers

293
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,480
because they were new notes.

294
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,960
Just like these, Mr Hoskins.

295
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,960
So, if those numbers
and these numbers are the same...

296
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960
That's so what, Mr Hoskins.

297
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,960
I swear to you, I never touched her.

298
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Then what's this all about?

299
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,960
Gospel truth, all right.

300
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,480
I never laid a finger on her.

301
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,160
Kathy goes over the road
and I'm standing there.

302
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,960
And I see her handbag,
and it's like...

303
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,960
It's open with her purse
and everything.

304
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,960
I was gonna pay her back. It's not
as if she's gonna need it, is she?

305
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,960
Well, is she?

306
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,960
You bastard! You lousy rotten...

307
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,960
Oh, dear. We've got a domestic.
Sort it out, Constable.

308
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,800
No, don't worry. I don't know
what time I'll be back myself.

309
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000
No.

310
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Don't do that.
Why don't I get a takeaway?

311
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,960
What d'you fancy? A Chinese?

312
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,480
No, don't tell me now. I'll ring you
from there and you can tell me then.

313
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,960
OK? Yeah. Look, I've got to go.

314
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,320
I'll give you a ring.

315
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,480
Sorry, guv.
Eh? Oh, yeah.

316
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,960
I don't know. Look at this lot here.
Every day it's the same.

317
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Well, is Hoskins in the frame
or not?

318
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,480
Only as a sneak thief.
I don't see him as a granny basher.

319
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,800
No, neither do I.
Still, he's the only one we've got.

320
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,000
We'll keep him, make him sweat,
teach him a lesson.

321
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,960
I didn't think...

322
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,960
You didn't think what?

323
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,800
I didn't think we were in
the business of teaching lessons.

324
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,960
They reckon she was beaten about
the head with her walking stick.

325
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,960
'Wiped clean of all prints', etc.

326
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,960
'Traces of blood
in the kitchen waste trap.'

327
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:03,320
So, he cleans it off,
leaves it against the chair

328
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,480
as if nothing had happened.

329
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,960
Apart from changing
the shape of her face.

330
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,480
What's this?

331
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,960
'A piece of a jigsaw puzzle
found down the side of the chair.'

332
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,960
'No jigsaw puzzle found
in the house.'

333
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,960
So, he beats her up,
but he doesn't take anything.

334
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,960
As far as we know, he didn't.
As far as we know.

335
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,480
Which means what?

336
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,960
He was either disturbed or
he panicked, couldn't find anything.

337
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,480
Perhaps he didn't want anything
in the first place.

338
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Right, come on. Home time.

339
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,960
That's it. Good night, Sergeant.
Good night, guv.

340
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,960
You don't fancy a drink, do you?

341
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,960
(BOTTLES CLINKING)

342
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,960
There you go.

343
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,640
Oh, God! I forgot to pick up
my stuff from the launderette.

344
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,960
What's the time now?
I can just make it.

345
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,000
I have to.
I haven't got a clean shirt.

346
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,960
Cheers.
Cheers.

347
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,960
Well, how am I doing?
Guv?

348
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,480
How am I treating you?

349
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Well, you've just bought me
a large G and T.

350
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:19,320
I had a lecture from Horn-rimmed
Harry about how to treat a woman

351
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,960
unfortunate enough to be posted
as my bagman. Bagperson.

352
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,640
You know - equality, harassment.
Ah.

353
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:35,800
Actually, I think he hoped
you'd be the sort of woman that,

354
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,960
when I bought her a G and T...

355
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,960
..would think I was trying to get
into her knickers.

356
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,960
You bought George a Campari and soda
the other night.

357
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,960
I'd hate to think you were trying
to get into his.

358
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,960
How d'you mean, hoping? Mr Mullett?

359
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,960
I was being indiscreet.
You, guv? I can't believe that.

360
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,960
Mr Mullett and I share what's known
as a lack of understanding.

361
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,800
Yes. I've heard about it.

362
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,960
It's only my medal
that keeps me afloat.

363
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,960
Yes, I've heard about that, too.

364
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,960
If I do find there's a problem,
and it does happen, you know,

365
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,320
then I'll tell you - not him.

366
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,960
I'll drink to that.

367
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,960
Is there a Mr Frost here?
Yes, here.

368
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,800
Telephone.

369
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Frost.

00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,960
Upstairs bedroom.
The old girl's dead.

(HAMMERING ON DOOR)

375
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,960
Right, Sergeant, up you go.

376
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,960
There you are, you see, Sergeant.
If you'd been a bloke...

377
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,640
You keep your eyes open, go on.

378
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,320
If you don't mind my saying, guv,

379
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,960
don't you think breaking into
someone's house

380
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,480
on the say-so of an anonymous
phonecall is a bit of a liberty?

381
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,960
Yes, you're quite right, Sergeant.

382
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,960
I'm getting too BLOODY old
for this sort of thing.

383
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Next time, you wear a pair of
trousers.

Oh, my God...

387
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,960
What do you mean,
"It's for his own good"?

388
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,320
She's been dead four weeks
and he's still trying to feed her.

389
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,960
He needs help.
That is precisely my point!

390
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,960
Why are you arresting him?
We're not arresting him.

391
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,480
We're taking him into care
because if we don't do that,

392
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,960
he's going to be in an
even worse state, isn't he?

393
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,960
So er, what's all this, then?

394
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,960
You ain't gonna believe this. No?

395
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,960
I called in to pick my stuff up
from the launderette.

396
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,960
Some bugger's gone and nicked it.

397
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
YOUR stuff?

398
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,320
Yes. All of it.

399
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,480
That's what I call
a desperate criminal.

400
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,960
I had to call in to the market.

401
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,320
Ah, you shop in style, then?

402
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,960
Look at this. Look, look.

403
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,960
Two shirts for a tenner.
That can't be bad, can it?

404
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,960
Quality gear, that.
Yeah. I can feel.

405
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,000
Look, if you -

406
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,800
Where are they all off to then?
Brighton.

407
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,960
Lunch theatre matinee,
fish and chip tea - Not bad, eh?

408
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960
Oh, I'd rather be 18
and off to the Palais.

409
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,960
Right. While you're here, you
wouldn't help me move this piano?

410
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,960
Yes, course.
Where would you like it?

411
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,960
Just up the back here, please.
Right, OK.

(STRUGGLING) Here we go.

What can you tell me
about Mrs Haynes?

414
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,960
Ah, yes, poor Mrs Haynes.

415
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,960
I called in at the hospital
yesterday evening.

416
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,960
They don't seem very hopeful.

417
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,960
What do you want to know?
Well, anything you know about her.

418
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Not a lot, really.

419
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,000
She's been a club member
for two years.

420
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,480
No relatives, as far as I know.

421
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,960
She the sort of woman who would open
her door to a stranger?

422
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,960
No, definitely not.

423
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,960
She's got rather a
suspicious nature, I'm afraid.

424
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,960
Well, let's face it,
she can actually be very difficult.

425
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,640
A lot of the old people here
are very friendly with each other,

426
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,960
popping in to each other's
houses and so on.

427
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
But I don't think Mrs Haynes ever
invited anyone back to her place.

428
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,960
How did she get here to the club?
We have a team of volunteer drivers,

429
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
someone would have collected her
then taken her back.

430
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,800
Do you know who took her home
this week?

431
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,960
Angela. Mrs Newcombe.

432
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,960
"Mrs Newcombe."
Right, thank you.

433
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960
Anything else I can help you with
while I'm here?

434
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,960
Well, there's the chairs.

435
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,960
By the way, how are you making out
with our Maureen?

436
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,960
Hm? Maureen?

437
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Two teas and a bacon sarnie.

438
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,960
Maureen Lawson,
Detective Sergeant Lawson,

439
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,960
the one with the long hair
and the you-knows. Oh, Maureen!

440
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,960
That's her name, is it?
She's good news, as it happens.

441
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Mm, she's a good-looker. I hope you
don't find yourself tempted.

442
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,960
What? Playing footsie with
a junior officer? Cor, dear.

443
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Mullett would love that,
wouldn't he?

444
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,960
No, actually, Jim,
I've lost the urge.

445
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,960
You know, women.

446
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,960
What's that, growing up
or growing old, do you reckon?

447
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Yeah, well, you've had a rough
old year. That's true.

448
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,960
Oh, Christ, is that the time?
I'm off to court.

449
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,960
See you. See you.

450
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,960
Hello. Hello.

451
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,960
Hope I didn't get you intro trouble
last night with your boyfriend.

452
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,960
Sorry? Getting you in late.

453
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Oh, yeah. No, everything was fine.

454
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,480
You know, all the time we were
together, my wife never realised that

455
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,960
she wasn't just married to me,
she was married to the job.

456
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,960
Not that I didn't take advantage
of it, used it as an excuse.

457
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,960
Just like all the blokes
in the pub last night.

458
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Pub last night... Elliott!

459
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,960
I knew it would come to me!
Bernard Elliott! Come on.

460
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,960


461
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Hello, Bernard. Haven't you got
anything a bit more cheerful?

462
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,960
Hello, Mr Frost, nice to see you.

463
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:29,960
Liar. Is that your van over there?
The blue one? Yes, yes, it is.

464
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960
Yes, the blue one.

465
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,960
You haven't told Swansea you've
painted it, have you, little tinker?

466
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960
They've got it down as a white one.
So have we.

467
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,960
Oh, yes. Sorry.

468
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,960
What were you doing
in that house last night?

469
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,960
What house?

470
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,960
Come on, Bernard, I know that it
was you that phoned me,

471
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,640
because I recognised your voice.

472
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,960
Not at first, I must admit, but then
I'm not as bright as I once was.

473
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Neither are you.

474
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,960
Come on, you were turning it over,
weren't you, Bernard?

475
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,960
Certainly not.
Oh, come on!

476
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,800
The only way you'd know
about Mrs Tutankhamen

477
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,960
was if you'd been in the house.

478
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,960
And you didn't go in through the
door, you went in through the window.

479
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,960
Come on, don't mess me about,
you know how irritable I get.

480
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,960
All right, I was in there
seeing what I could find

481
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,960
and I found her -
Frightened the life out of me!

482
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,800
Yeah, well, didn't do my laundry
much good, I can tell you.

483
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,000
Bernard, what is this?

484
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,960
Where did that come from?

485
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,960
I'll tell you where it came from,
it came from a Mrs Redgrave

486
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,960
who was burgled three weeks ago.

487
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,640
Listen, we've had quite a run
on these burglaries.

488
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,960
And what I want to know is -
are they down to you?

489
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,480
Now, a simple yes or no will suffice.

490
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,800
And this is Police Brutality Week,
so think carefully.

491
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,960
How long have you been
in the burglary business?

492
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,000
Just this lot, really.

493
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,960
Oh, that's why I haven't given you
a tug before.

494
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,960
I had you down as a 9 to 5 man.

495
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,960
Well, things haven't been good.

496
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,000
My daughter's getting married
in a couple of months.

497
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,960
Oh dear, you've buggered that up,
haven't you?

498
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,960
Should have thought of that before
you robbed little old ladies.

499
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,960
There's always a chance of bail,
I suppose.

500
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,960
There's always a chance
that England will beat Germany 6-0.

501
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,000
Well, he's put his hand up for
16 burglaries and one attempted,

502
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,960
if we include last night's date
with Sleeping Beauty.

503
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Excellent, excellent.
Yes, Sir,

504
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,960
I thought you'd be pleased.
Well, let's face it,

505
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,160
That improves this month's
clear-up rate by about... 0.5%.

506
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,960
And you're quite sure he wasn't
involved in the assault on Mrs...

507
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,960
Whatever-her-name-was?
Haynes? No, sir. Not his style.

508
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,480
By the way, sir,
you were absolutely right.

509
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,960
He did have a blue van.

510
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)

511
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,160
Desmond, it's your mother!

512
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,960
You said you were going to phone me.
Fat chance of that, I don't think!

513
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,160
Where are you?

514
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Off on one of your
fancy business trips, I suppose.

515
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,960
Oh, I don't know.
If your father were -

516
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,640
(DOORBELL)
Hold on, you'll have to wait.

517
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:07,960
There's someone at the door.

518
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Might even be you!

519
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,640
(LAUGHS) My lucky night.

520
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:37,960
Jack?

521
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,480
Shirley. Shirley Fisher.

522
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,960
Yes, of course. Sorry, I was
miles away. How are you?

523
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,960
I'm fine. And you?
Yes, yes, yes, fine.

524
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,960
How's the smoking?
Oh, it's OK.

525
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,800
Still got no confidence in it,
though.

526
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,320
Which way are you going?
Oh, same as me.

527
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,960
Well, did you ever get that new car?

528
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,960
Oh, I decided against it,
I didn't really need it.

529
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,160
How about you? Did you get
a new washing machine?

530
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,960
No. Same thing, really.

531
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,960
I got a season ticket
to the late-night launderette.

532
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,320
You're looking after yourself then?
Yes.

533
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,960
Yes, I take baths and everything.
You'd be amazed.

534
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,960
No, it's OK. It still feels
a bit strange - living on my own.

535
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,960
You get used to it. Eventually.

536
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,960
Erm... I go this way.
Oh... Oh, right.

537
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,480
It was really nice seeing you.
Yes, yes, yes. You too.

538
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,960
Bye, then, Jack,
I'm glad you're all right.

539
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,480
Yes, thanks.

540
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Erm...

541
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,480
Maybe we could have a meal or
something some time if you're not...

542
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,960
You know...
That'd be very nice.

543
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,960
Good.
Well, I'll... I'll give you a ring.

544
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,960
OK.

545
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,960
Well?
Not good, sir.

546
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,960
Did she say anything?
Nothing I can make sense of.

547
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,160
Who's that in there with her?
Someone from the church.

548
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,960
A Mrs Newcombe.

549
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:56,480
Look, there's no point in both of us
staying here. Good night.

550
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,480
Night, sir.

551
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,960
Hang on a minute - Newcombe?

552
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,960
Did you say Newcombe?

553
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,480
Yes... Angela Newcombe.

554
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,800
She drove her home.

555
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960
Mrs Newcombe?

556
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,640
That's OK.

557
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,320
She's old and she's lonely.

558
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,960
Sometimes loneliness
turns to bitterness.

559
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,960
It becomes like a cancer, really.
It takes over.

560
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,960
She'd be even lonelier if it wasn't
for people like you.

561
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,960
I don't do much,
just fetching and carrying, really.

562
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,960
Not like some of them.
Some of the helpers are wonderful.

563
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,960
Really wonderful. They do so much.

564
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,000
I don't mean people like me, people
who don't have children or a family,

565
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,960
I mean people who...
Do you know what time it is?

566
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,960
Do you know what time it is!?
I'm sorry, John.

567
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:02,960
The Medwins. We're supposed to be
at the Medwins'!

568
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,960
(GASPS) Oh, my God, I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry.

569
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,960
I'm sick of playing second fiddle to
these lame dogs, do you understand?

570
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,960
Do you understand me?

571
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,960
Excuse me, sir, it was my fault.
I was asking -

572
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,640
Who are you?
John -

573
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,960
I asked him.
Det Insp Frost, Denton CID, sir.

574
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,960
Oh, I see. About Angela's old lady.

575
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,960
Yes, that's right, sir.

576
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,960
Do you need to ask my wife
any more questions?

577
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,960
No, sir, as a matter of fact,
I don't.

578
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,960
Then we needn't detain you, need we?

579
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,960
No.

580
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,960
Good night, Mrs Newcombe.

581
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,960
Good night... sir.

582
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,800
You do know, don't you?
You know exactly what you're doing!

583
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Because every time it happens like
this! With anything important!

584
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,960
Every single... (MUTED SPEECH)

585
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,960
Yes. Done that.

586
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,960
Er...done that.

587
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,800
Not doing that.

588
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,960
Oh yes, Newcombe, John Newcombe.

589
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,960
See what you can find out about
John Newcombe for me, will you?

590
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,320
Who is he?
He's the husband of a helper

591
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,960
down at St Whatsit,
where the old lady went.

592
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,960
Anything in particular?

593
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,960
No. Other than I don't like him.

594
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,960
Oh, well, in that case, I'm
sure we can find something to put
him away for a year or two.

595
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,160
Just find out about him for me,
will you? (YAWNS)

596
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,960
I'm having some terrible nights,
lately.

597
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,320
Three hours and that's my lot.

598
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,960
And last night I thought I'd have
a nice early night,

599
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,960
a nice drop of Scotch,
get myself eight hours.

600
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,960
What happens? Two o'clock this
morning I'm wide awake again.

601
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,960
I suppose you were out on the town
with your fella?

602
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,000
Yeah, we did erm...
We did go out for a meal, yeah.

603
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,160
I think that's what I need, really.
A bit of company.

604
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:03,960
I've had an offer.

605
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,960
Well, I made an offer.

606
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,960
Hmm.

607
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,960
Thing is, though...

608
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,960
Hey, listen to me.

609
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,800
Now, this is your fault, Sergeant.
(PHONE RINGS)

610
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,960
If you'd been a bloke
I wouldn't be going on like this.

611
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,000
Frost.

612
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,960
Through there, sir.

613
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,960
Morning, Jack.
Morning.

614
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,320
Did it properly this time.
Must be getting his hand in.

615
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,960
Oh, dear.

616
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,960
Mrs Alice Ryder. 76.

617
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,960
She's a widow.
Got a son living in Denton.

618
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:01,960
Name of Desmond.

619
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,640
We're trying to contact him.

620
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,960
'I borrowed her Daily Mirror
yesterday afternoon

621
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,960
just before she went off to bingo.'

622
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,960
Thursday's her bingo afternoon.
She gets back at seven.

623
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,960
About half nine, I knock on
her door to give it back

624
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,960
but there's no answer.

625
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,960
So I stick it in the letter box.

626
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,000
Well, I'm going for my walk this
morning and it's still in there.

627
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,960
That's funny, I think.

628
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:41,320
So I knock on her door,
and I still don't get no answer.

629
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,960
So I let myself in -

630
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,960
I got a spare to her flat, and
she's got one to mine, just in case.

631
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,960
And...

632
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,960
there she is.

633
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,320
So...

634
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,320
I...I phone you lot.

635
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,960
Look...

636
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,960
would you fancy a cup of tea?

637
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,960
No thanks, I've had one,
but you go ahead.

638
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,320
So she didn't have her
security chain on the front door?

639
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,640
She didn't have no chain.

640
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,800
She's got one, all right.
Brand new too by the looks of things.

641
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,960
Stone me. I am getting old.
I never noticed it.

642
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,480
I knew she was having one fitted,

643
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,960
because she said her son
was worried about

644
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,960
all these burglaries that have been
going on.

645
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:38,800
Not worried enough to spend a bit
of time with her. Do any of 'em?

646
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,480
Where's the pathologist?

647
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,960
Been and gone.
He'll phone you this afternoon

648
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,960
with the time for the autopsy.

649
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,960
Well, nothing missing.

650
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,320
Everything clean and tidy,
just like the other one.

651
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,960
Oh, dear. Look at that.

652
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,960
Fifty quid in
her purse and nothing in the fridge.

653
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,640
My mother was the same
after the old man went.

654
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,960
Always putting something by
for a rainy day.

655
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,960
Rather die of cold than
spend money on a decent sweater.

656
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,960
Getting old and frightened
and ignored.

657
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,960
Something to look forward to,
isn't it, Sergeant?

658
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,320
What you're saying is
there's every possibility

659
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,160
we have a serial killer
here in Denton.

660
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,480
Well, if the first victim dies,
and there's every chance she will,

661
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:26,960
that's what we're saying.

662
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,160
We're got to tread very carefully
on this one.

663
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:30,960
The last thing we want is panic.

664
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,960
Panic is what you'll get unless
you can keep the press in check.

665
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,480
I've been holding them off
all morning.

666
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,800
We need to give the public our side
of things.

667
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,480
Reduce the panic syndrome.

668
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,640
I'll get in touch with
Social Services,

669
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:43,960
arrange to have some liaison work,

670
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,960
have the usual notices and warnings
put out, and so on.

671
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,960
What we need, sir, is one of your
television appearances.

672
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,640
Yes, I'll get on to that.

673
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,640
I need to be kept PROPERLY informed
on this one, Jack.

674
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,800
No scribbled notes.
Up to the minute information.

675
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,960
Best of all, of course,
a quick result.

676
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,960
This is our number one priority.

677
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,960
He's got to be caught
before he kills again.

678
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,960
Right, what have we got?

679
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,000
Right, quiet, please, everyone!
Listen!

680
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Let's have your concentration up here
on this board.

681
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,960
I want you to take a look
at these pictures.

682
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,960
Mrs Mary Haynes, aged 77.

683
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,960
Mrs Alice Ryder, aged 76.

684
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,960
Ladies and gentlemen,

685
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,960
I want to show you the sort of man
that we are dealing with.

686
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,960
He's done this twice.

687
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,960
If we don't find him quick,
he's going to do it again.

688
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,160
Because a man who's capable of
this sort of thing is a mental case.

689
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,960
And he's not going to stop
until someone stops him, right?

690
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,960
Now, why these?

691
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,960
Why these two old ladies
in particular?

692
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,960
Hmm?

693
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:03,000
Does he attack at random
or is there a link?

694
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,960
Is there a common denominator?

695
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,320
Well, let's think about it.

696
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,960
What do we know about them?

697
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,480
They're both women, right?

698
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,960
They're both old ladies,

699
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,960
they're both widowed
and they both live alone.

700
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,480
And they both opened the door
to someone they knew and trusted.

701
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,960
Apart from family and friends -

702
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,960
there weren't too many of them about,
by all accounts -

703
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,960
who else would they open the door
to that they knew and trusted?

704
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,960
That's what we want to know. Think!

705
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,160
The doctor, home visitor.

706
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,000
Social Services, Meals on Wheels.

707
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,160
Gas man, electricity.

708
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,960
Someone from the church.
Vicar or priest?

709
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,480
Good, good. Anybody else?

710
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,960
Any other ideas?

711
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,960
No? Is that it?

712
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,960
There's a sign of the times for you.

713
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,960
You gave me all the people
they might trust

714
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,480
and no-one mentioned
a bloody policeman! (LAUGHTER)

715
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:16,960
Let's get on with it. Chase them
all, anyone you can think of.

716
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,960
George, what about dry cleaners,
that sort of thing?

717
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,960
Nothing yet, guv.
Keep at it. Something might turn up.

718
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,800
Any joy with the neighbours?
No, guv. Deaf and dumb as usual.

719
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,960
Oh. Some kid reckons he saw a car,
a dark blue saloon.

720
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,960
Pretty sure it was a Vauxhall.

721
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,480
Didn't we have a Vauxhall
with the other old lady?

722
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,480
A Vauxhall or a Ford.
I checked on Newcombe.

723
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:41,960
Sorry? Who?

724
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,960
The husband of the woman who works
at the Old People's club.

725
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,800
Yes. And? He's an architect.
No record. Nothing known.

726
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,960
Bet you a pound to a penny
he knocks her about a bit.

727
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,000
Anything else?
There is one thing, guv.

728
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,960
We keep saying 'he' - the killer.

729
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,960
Why couldn't it be a woman?

730
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,640
(ENGINE REVS)

731
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,640
That's wonderful. Thank you.

732
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,960
A hose had perished and come loose.

733
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,960
Is that bad? No, not at all.
I've tightened the clip for now

734
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,960
but you should take it to a garage
and ask them to fit a new one.

735
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,960
Are you all right, Mrs Newcombe?

736
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,800
Of course. Why do you ask that?

737
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,960
You look like
something's bothering you.

738
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,960
I'm just running a bit late.

739
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:49,960
I wanted to get home before
my husband. He worries about me.

740
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,960
Off you go, then.

741
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,960
Thanks again.

742
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,000
Apart from my mother, there were two
other messages on the machine.

743
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,480
One at 8:15...

744
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,960
The other at nine o'clock.

745
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,960
It's all right.
Take your time, Mr Ryder.

746
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,480
I'm all right now, thank you.

747
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:37,960
Please.

748
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,960
So there were two other
calls on the machine,

749
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,960
one at 8:15,
the other at nine o'clock.

750
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,960
That means your mother must have
phoned you

751
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,960
between the intervening 45 minutes.

752
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,000
Yes.

753
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,960
They put the time of her death

754
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,480
somewhere between
nine and 11 o'clock.

755
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,960
You're saying whoever she answered
the door to

756
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,960
is the one who attacked her.

757
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,320
I'm not saying that definitely.

758
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,480
But it is a distinct possibility.

759
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,960
She wouldn't answer the door

760
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,960
to someone she didn't know.
I was always...

761
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:20,960
I was always very firm with her
about that. I always...

762
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,960
You didn't bring the tape with you,
sir?

763
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,960
No. I'm sorry.

764
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,320
I'd like to borrow it.

765
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,960
The Sergeant will go back with you.

766
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,960
Thank you very much.
That's all, sir.

767
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,960
One more thing, Mr Ryder.

768
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,960
Where were you last night?

769
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,960
Me? You suspect me?

770
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,960
I'd be happy
if I had anyone to suspect.

771
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,800
It's just a question of elimination.

772
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,960
I was in Newcastle.

773
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,960
The Queensway Hotel.
Here's the receipt.

774
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,960
Thank you, sir.

775
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,960
I'd like it back.

776
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,640
I need it for my expenses claim.

777
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,480
Right, let's try it again.

778
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,640
(STARTS TAPE RECORDER)

father was alive... (DOORBELL)"

780
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,960
First doorbell.

781
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,960
"Hold on, you'll have to wait.
There's someone at the door."

782
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,000
"Might even be you."

783
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,960
Puts down the receiver,
goes to the hall.

784
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,160
Slow down. She's an old lady.

785
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,320
"(DOORBELL)"

786
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,960
There's the second doorbell.

787
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:51,960
(TAPE VERY INDISTINCT)

788
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,800
She gets to the door.

789
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:00,480
She looks through the spy hole,
cos she says something.

790
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,320
She says something again there.

791
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,960
She's saying something else.

792
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,960
She draws the first bolt.

793
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,960
She draws the second bolt.

794
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,960
She takes off the chain.

795
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,960
Opens the lock. Opens the door.

796
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,960
She says something to him.
He says something to her.

797
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,960
She invites him in,
because she closes the door.

798
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,960
(DOOR CLOSES ON TAPE)

799
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,960
There it is.

800
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,960
Comes along the hall.

801
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,640
She leaves him in the hall.

802
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,000
"Don't touch anything."

803
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,640
Picks up the receiver.

(BEEPING)

805
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,960
And the tape runs out.

806
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,960
Well, definitely someone she knew.

807
01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:01,960
And someone she wasn't afraid of.

808
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,960
Pity we can't hear
what she said at the door.

of the chain being taken off.

It's nice to be useful for a change.

So, what's it all about?

828
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:16,160
You said you knew
Mrs Ryder was having a chain fitted

829
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,000
because her son
was worried about her.

830
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Something like that.

831
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,320
When did she tell you this?

832
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,960
Be about last Tuesday.
No, Wednesday.

833
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,960
I was taking her paper back and he
rung up to see

834
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,960
if she'd done something about it.
I overheard, like.

835
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,960
So he was getting it fixed for her?

836
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,480
No. That's it, you see.

837
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,960
That's what? That's what she was
going on about

838
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:40,960
and that's how I know.

839
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,640
She said 'No, I'll get it done
myself. Fat lot you care.'

840
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,960
That sort of thing.
The usual argy-bargy.

841
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,960
I said to her 'If you want
a chain fitted, I'll do it.'

842
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,960
'No, thank you.' she said, 'the
bloke from the bingo has offered.'

843
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,320
So I think, 'Right, suit yourself.'

844
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,960
Bloke from the bingo?
She meant one of the drivers.

845
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,800
What drivers?

846
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,960
They lay on a coach for the OAPs.

847
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,960
Picks 'em up and brings 'em home.

848
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,960
Did she have a regular driver?

849
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,160
Dunno. Never seen him. I say 'him',
but they have women drivers.

850
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,960
You don't go yourself?

851
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,960
No, don't believe in gambling.
Mug's game.

852
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,800
Besides,
I never bloody win anything.

853
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,960
Why did you ask her?

854
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,960
I dunno. Just one of those things
you say, innit?

855
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,960
D'you like her? Yeah. Very nice.

856
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,960
Has she got any ties? Divorced.

857
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,960
Well, then.

858
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:45,960
Well, the thing is...

859
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:47,960
What I'm trying to say, I suppose,
is that...

860
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,960
Say I took her out for a meal
or something.

861
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,960
I don't want her to get the wrong
idea, you know?

862
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,800
Chip? No.

863
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,960
I mean... What do you think?

864
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,960
Look, what's the worst thing
that can happen?

865
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,480
You take her out,
you have a bad couple of hours,

866
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,960
you say goodbye and you never see
her again.

867
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,800
Go on. Risk it.

868
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,800
Do you want to ring your fella,
tell him you'll be late?

869
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,960
No.

870
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,960
No, it's all right.

871
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,960
And by the way, it isn't 'my fella'.

872
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,960
I live with someone,
but it isn't a fella.

873
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,640
Oh. Oh, I see.

874
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,960
I didn't want you
to get the wrong idea.

875
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,960
All right, guv?

876
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,800
Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right, yeah.

877
01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:02,160
Right. I'll be there. Thanks. Bye.

878
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,960
Sorry about that. Where were we?

879
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,160
Come on, George. Off you go.

880
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,160
The main bingo-run contract
is with Super Swift Coaches,

881
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:15,960
but they subcontract the work out
to other firms on a day-to-day
basis.

882
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,960
These are they.

883
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:22,480
Each firm has a rota of drivers
for its various runs.

884
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,960
So you mightn't get
the same driver each time.

885
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:28,960
Not only that, most drivers are
self-employed -

886
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,640
so the same driver could work
for different firms.

887
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,960
Skip the horses d'ooves.
Get down to the meat and veg.

888
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,960
We've run the names and duty rotas
through the computer

889
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,960
so we could eliminate all those
who couldn't have done it. Yeah.

890
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,960
We've come down to
four possibilities.

891
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,960
David Allen Hardwick, 38,
married, two children.

892
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,640
Thomas Riley, 41,
married, no children.

893
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,960
Patrick Robert O'Connell, 33,
married, one teenage daughter.

894
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,960
And Ronald William Gould,
35, single.

895
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,960
We've got a lot more checking
to do.

896
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,640
Apart from anything else, most
drivers swap with each other

897
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,960
and don't tell the guv'nor.

898
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,960
But the only one who was off duty

899
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,960
at the time of both attacks
is Mr Gould.

900
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,960
But he's a cheery bloke,
by all accounts.

901
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,960
The old dears love him.

902
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,960
Right, I'll be off now, Gran.

903
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:45,160
How are you getting on
with your new puzzle?

904
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,960
You've got eyes, haven't you?

905
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,960
Don't forget to change my book.

906
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,960
'Course I won't.

907
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:22,960
Don't you think you should hedge
your bets a bit?

908
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,960
No, I don't, Jim.
I really fancy this one.

909
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,960
You've got nothing on him.

910
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,960
Then I'll find something.

911
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:30,800
This is our boy. I know it is.

912
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,960
This your famous gut reaction,
is it?

913
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:34,960
Yeah, well, that's guts, innit, Jim?

914
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:36,960
You get ulcers, I get reactions.

915
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,960
Yeah, well, let's hope you get
a result as well.

916
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,960
Look, if you really fancy him,
don't blow it, eh, Jack?

917
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,960
Don't pull him in until you've got
good, solid evidence.

918
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,960
I want every available man on him.

919
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,960
I want him watched 24 hours a day.

920
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,960
I want to know everything about him.

921
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,960
I want his photograph shown
to all his neighbours.

922
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,960
Excuse me, guv.
Only if it's good news.

923
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,960
It's the connection - Gould knowing
the ladies cos he does a bingo run.

924
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:06,960
So?

925
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,960
Only one of them was in the club.

926
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,960
What are you talking about?

927
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,800
They both had membership cards -
Mecca Bingo Club.

928
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,960
But one of the membership cards
ran out two years ago.

929
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:23,960
Mrs Haynes. She stopped going
because of her arthritis.

930
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,960
All right, Jack? Yeah. Hold on.

931
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,000
Hold on. What happened to her bits
and pieces?

932
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,480
There you go.

933
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:30,960
So she went to the hospital.

934
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,160
Yes.

935
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,320
But how did she get there,
a woman in her condition?

936
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,960
They'd send an ambulance.
No, not necessarily, my son.

937
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,960
They have a team of volunteer
drivers who help the ambulances out

938
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,960
when they're too busy to pick up
patients.

939
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:49,960
I know cos I had
a volunteer driver pick up my wife.

940
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,640
Well? They don't record individual
pick-ups.

941
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,640
But one of the drivers
who was on duty when Mrs Haynes

942
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,960
last attended for treatment
was a Mr RW Gould.

943
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,160
(CAMERA CLICKING)

944
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,800


945
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:41,960

tender words when we're apart

946
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:45,960


947
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:50,960

I'll hope you'll see

948
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,960

so you'll see...

949
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,960
(INTERCOM ON)

950
01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:01,000

and while I've the breath...

951
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,960
(CAMERA CLICKING)

952
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,960
(INTERCOM ON)

953
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:20,960

waiting for you

954
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,960
Excuse me, sir. Can I have a word?

955
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,960
Yeah, go on. Sit down.

956
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,160
I fed some details
into the national computer.

957
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,960
Constable, you know how
I hate computers.

958
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,960
The only way to catch criminals is
with old-fashioned police work.

959
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,960
That means beating the hell out of
some poor sod

960
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:05,960
until he signs a fake confession.

961
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:07,960
Get on with it, then.

962
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,160
I looked for similarities -
age of victim, method of assault -

963
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,160
I know all that!

964
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,960
Two years ago in Plymouth, there
were three identical killings -

965
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,960
old ladies living on their own,
beaten to death.

966
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,960
The first killing was on 26th March.

967
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,960
Hm?

968
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,960
Same date
as the attack on Mrs Haynes.

969
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:34,960
The third killing, the last,
took place a month later.

970
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,000
No-one was ever arrested.
Books are still open.

971
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,160
They're sending the details
down to us.

972
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,480
There's an 'and' attached to this.

973
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:45,960
And Gould used to live in Ivybridge,

974
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,960
which is ten miles outside Plymouth.

975
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,960
He moved here about 18 months ago.

976
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:12,960
She's a lovely old lady, that one.
Right, sir, where to?

977
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,960
How about the police station?

978
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:18,960
Detective Inspector Frost.

979
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,960
I wonder if you could spare me

980
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,640
five minutes of your time,
please, sir.

981
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,320
Oh! Thank you very much, sir.

982
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,960
She does love her milk and biscuits.

983
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,320
Well, we all have our funny little
ways. Yeah, that's true.

984
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,960
That's why I asked you to come here.

985
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,960
She gets very upset if I'm not back
when I say I'll be.

986
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,640
Silly old girl she is, my gran.

987
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,960
I just want to find out as much as I
can about Mrs Haynes and Mrs Ryder.

988
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:59,160
I understand they were fond of you.
They trusted you a great deal.

989
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:03,960
I wonder if they might have said
something that might -

990
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,960
just might
help me with my enquiries.

991
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,960
I'll be of any help I can,
but I can't think -

992
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:14,800
When I said 'were', Mrs Haynes
is still alive, of course.

993
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,960
Yes. I've been in to see her a
couple of times.

994
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,960
Really?
The officer didn't mention anything.

995
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,960
I've got an officer there
24 hours a day, just in case.

996
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,960
I didn't actually go in.
I just wanted to see her.

997
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,960
I saw through
the door that she was unconscious.

998
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:30,960
Oh, right.

999
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,960
I'm hoping that she might
be able to tell us something.

1000
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,960
But between you and me,
I'm not holding my breath about it.

1001
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,960
It's very unlikely
that she'll make a recovery.

1002
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,960
Yes. So I understand.

1003
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,960
Well, to be frank with you,
Mr Gould,

1004
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,960
if I can't get a positive
identification on this one

1005
01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:59,960
I'm right up the creek.

1006
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,960
Oh. Mm.

1007
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,960
Mm!

1008
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,960
Well, very nice.
Thank you very much, sir.

1009
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,960
It's surprising how hard it is to
get a decent cup of tea in this job.

1010
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:22,960
I believe you were one of the last
people to see Mrs Haynes alive, sir.

1011
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:25,960
I don't think so.
Oh, yes.

1012
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,960
You drove her back
from the senior citizens' club.

1013
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:30,960
No, not me, Inspector.

1014
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:34,960
Yes. I was told it was always you.

1015
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,960
Usually, yes, but this week
it was Mrs Newcombe.

1016
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:42,960
They said Mr Gould is the only one
that'll put up with her.

1017
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,960
She wasn't that bad.
She was quite a dear old lady.

1018
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:47,960
Is.

1019
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,960
Sorry?

1020
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,960
She IS a dear old lady.

1021
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:54,960
She isn't dead yet, sir.

1022
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,160
Not clinically, anyway.

1023
01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:02,800
I'll just take this up to Gran.
Yes.

1024
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,960
Yes, all right, sir.

1025
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,960
All right?

1026
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,960
Yes. She was...er, in the loo.

1027
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,960
How long have you lived with her?

1028
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:07,960
Oh, forever.

1029
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,960
Never thought of getting married?

1030
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,960
When the right person comes along.

1031
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,960
Do they ever? Do they ever?

1032
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,000
Your parents still alive, are they?

1033
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,960
No, no, they died
in a motoring accident.

1034
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:26,960
Oh, I am sorry.

1035
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,960
It's a long time ago.
I don't really remember them.

1036
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,320
I see your gran's
a bit of a jigsaw puzzler.

1037
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,960
It's amazing really,
what she can do by touch.

1038
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:44,960
These are not like normal pieces
though, are they? A bit thicker?

1039
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,960
I make them specially for her.

1040
01:18:48,480 --> 01:18:49,800
Oh, yes?

1041
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,960
It's a hobby of mine.
I've got a workshop out the back.

1042
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:57,000
Well, I say 'workshop'. It's
at the end of the garage, really.

1043
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,960
But it's very well equipped.
Everything I need, really.

1044
01:19:01,480 --> 01:19:03,640
Would you like to have a look?

1045
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,960
As I said, everything I need.

1046
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,960
Hm. Just lock the door
and forget your troubles, eh?

1047
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:20,960
Yes.

1048
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:25,160
Yes, well, it's very impressive.

1049
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,960
Yes. Very.

1050
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,960
What's this?

1051
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:34,960
That's an intercom I rigged up
so I can hear Gran if she needs me.

1052
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,960
Oh. Oh, good.

1053
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,960
I'm afraid I have to ask you.

1054
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:50,960
Can you tell me where you were
on the two nights in question?

1055
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,320
Here. Well, outside in the garage.

1056
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,000
My grandmother can confirm that,
of course.

1057
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Yes, of course.

1058
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,480
I don't need waste
any more of your time.

1059
01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:04,960
If you do think of anything...
Yes, of course.

1060
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:06,960
Oh, yes.
There is one thing that occurs.

1061
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,800
Did you give one of
your jigsaw puzzles to Mrs Haynes?

1062
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,960
Yes. I did actually. I gave them
to several of my old ladies.

1063
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,960
They don't get many presents,
some of these...

1064
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,640
Why do you ask?

1065
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,000
It's just that I found a piece of
jigsaw down the side of her chair.

1066
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:28,480
It registered because
it was unusual. It was a thick one.

1067
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,960
Well, that's cleared up
another little mystery.

1068
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,000
In my job you get suspicious
of your own shadow.

1069
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,160
Oh, I see you've got a chain fitted.
Did you do that?

1070
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,960
Yes. Months ago.
I see.

1071
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,640
That reminds me. When you delivered
your present to Mrs Ryder,

1072
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:51,960
did she have the chain on the door?

1073
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,960
It was Mrs Haynes, not Mrs Ryder.

1074
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,960
Yes, of course. I'm sorry.
Ronald! Ronald!

1075
01:20:57,960 --> 01:20:59,960
Yes, here I am, Gran.

1076
01:20:59,960 --> 01:21:02,640
I said digestives. Digestives!

1077
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,960
Sorry. I thought you said -

1078
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,960
You're useless! You are useless!

1079
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,960
You always
have been and you always will be!

1080
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:11,800
Can't do anything right, can you?

1081
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:13,960
There's only one word for you -
useless!

1082
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,960
You've just missed him, actually.

1083
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,960
He was delivering for our
bring-and-buy on Saturday.

1084
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:47,960
There's a bit of bad luck.

1085
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:49,960
Anything I can do?

1086
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,480
No. I just wanted a quick word,

1087
01:21:52,480 --> 01:21:56,800
to piece together what happened
the day Mrs Haynes was attacked.

1088
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,960
Helps out a lot, does he, Mr Gould?

1089
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,800
Oh, yes. Today he must have made

1090
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,320
three or four trips,
loading and unloading.

1091
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,960
And he does decorating, helps out
with the boiler,

1092
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:13,960
keeping it well stocked and so on.
Sounds quite a little treasure.

1093
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:14,960
(PHONE RINGS)

1094
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:20,320
What people used to call a Christian
before it became politically -

1095
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,960
Sorry, I've just got to get
that phone.

1096
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,320
OK, bye.

1097
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,480
Sorry about that.

1098
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,960
There's always something that has to
be done yesterday.

1099
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,960
I'm sure you find the same.

1100
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,000
It's that sort of world, isn't it?

1101
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:58,960
Some of the clothes you get must be
too old or dirty or stained to sell.

1102
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,960
Verminous sometimes.
We shove them into the boiler.

1103
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,960
Useful, the coke-burning boiler.

1104
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,960
Consumed by flames.
Gets rid of most things.

1105
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,960
Be it old clothes, verminous
clothes, blood-stained clothes.

1106
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,960
Even a body,
should the occasion arise.

1107
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,320
I'm sorry?
I tell you what, vicar...

1108
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,320
How much is this jacket?

1109
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:22,960
(PHONE RINGS)

1110
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,960
Alright, what have you got?

1111
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:26,960
You've got this opportunity...

1112
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,960
I've collated all known
intelligence, which includes a
physiatric report

1113
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:34,960
and it makes very interesting
reading.

1114
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:39,960
Well in that in case he might be
stupid he is not.

1115
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:43,320
He'll have an answer for everything,
you can bet your life on it,

1116
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:44,960
Read it, it's all in those reports.

1117
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:46,960
Look, I'm tired and I want to go
home.

1118
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,960
I'll read it first thing tomorrow.

1119
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:51,960
He's our man Jim, I know he is.

1120
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:53,960
Go home, the pair of you!

1121
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:55,480
Yeah, alright.

1122
01:24:55,480 --> 01:24:58,960
Oh, by the way, what do you think of
my new jacket?

1123
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,960
Very nice. Mmm, made in
Czechoslovakia.

1124
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,960
I'm not surprised. £4.50!

1125
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,960
They drive a hard bargain these
Czech's!

1126
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,960
No, no, no. Got it off the vicar

1127
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,960
Ahh, it's nice to see Mr. Mullett
having some effect upon you.

1128
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:16,960
Mullett? Mullet nothing. I have a
date.

1129
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,960
Thank you.

1130
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,160
Now I know
why they call it happy hour.

1131
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,960
Anyway, cheers.
It's good to see you again.

1132
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,960
Anyway, I've booked a table at...

1133
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,960
What's the name of it?
Lorenzo's.

1134
01:25:57,960 --> 01:25:59,800
Lorenzo's.

1135
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,960
Another recommendation.

1136
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:03,960
Oh, it's very good.

1137
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:05,960
You've been there?
Once or twice.

1138
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,960
It's good, is it?
It's very good.

1139
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,960
It's Italian. The owner's Spanish.

1140
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,960
Oh, I didn't know that.

1141
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,320
Are you living in the same place?

1142
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:27,960
In the hou-

1143
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:29,960
In the house, yes.

1144
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,960
I had thought about moving, but...

1145
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,320
I couldn't get my mind to it.

1146
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,960
I suppose I'm avoiding it, you know
- the hassle.

1147
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:44,960
It's OK. It's... It's OK.

1148
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,000
What happened about...

1149
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,960
No, sorry.

1150
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:52,800
No, go on.
No, honestly.

1151
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,800
No, you said. Go on.

1152
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,320
Wasn't there was someone else?
What happened about her?

1153
01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:00,960
The way you talked about her...
You didn't say her name.

1154
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:01,960
Eileen.

1155
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,960
I got the impression that you two...

1156
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:05,960
No, no.

1157
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:11,960
No, I haven't spoken to Eileen
since Mary died. Before, even.

1158
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,960
I suppose I should have done.

1159
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,160
That's what it's all about.

1160
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,160
I mean, if Mary hadn't been as ill
as she was,

1161
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,960
I would have gone.

1162
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:25,960
I would have left her.

1163
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,960
But...then when we found out
she was as ill as that,

1164
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,960
that she was dying...

1165
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,960
And...when she died...

1166
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:45,960
..somehow the thought of getting
in touch with Eileen was wrong.

1167
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:49,960
And... I don't know...

1168
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:53,960
I thought maybe she wouldn't
want to know any more, anyway.

1169
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,800
Hey, what is this?

1170
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:04,000
The last time I took you out, I bent
your ear for three hours then.

1171
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,960
You don't need it all again!

1172
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,160
No. But I think you might.

1173
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,960
It's that obvious, is it?

1174
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,640
It wasn't meant as a criticism.

1175
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:25,960
Well...

1176
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:31,160
Let's have another one,
and then we'll...

1177
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:37,960
Same again, please.

1178
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,320
Thanks.

1179
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,960
Cheers.
Cheers.

1180
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:56,960
Excuse me.

1181
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,960
Is there a problem?

1182
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,960
No, no. It's all right.

1183
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:30,960
It's the old lady that was
in hospital.

1184
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,960
She's just died.

1185
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:39,960
I thought you had a date.

1186
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:41,960
So did I.

1187
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,960
So did she.

1188
01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:59,960
Let's face it, guv'nor.

1189
01:29:59,960 --> 01:30:01,960
He's not gonna come out of there.

1190
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,480
Like you say, he might be mad

1191
01:30:05,480 --> 01:30:08,960
but he's certainly not stupid.

1192
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:14,960
I'll just have to give him a nudge,
then, won't I?

1193
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:23,960
Yes?

1194
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:27,480
Hello, Mrs Archer,
it's Detective Inspector Frost.

1195
01:30:27,480 --> 01:30:29,960
I was here a couple of days ago.

1196
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:31,960
What do you want?

1197
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:34,960
I'd like a quick word with Ronald.

1198
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,960
Oh. Suppose you'd better come in.

1199
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:43,960
Won't take a minute.

1200
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,960
He's in the garage.

1201
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,960
You've had a chain fitted.
Get someone in, did you?

1202
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:50,960
He did it last week.

1203
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:52,960
You haven't had it fitted long,
then?

1204
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,000
I just said, didn't I?

1205
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:06,960
Ronald.

1206
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:09,960
ELECTRIC SAW

1207
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:16,960
Perhaps he's gone out.

1208
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,960
He's there. He's got his machine on.

1209
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,640
Does that mean that he can't hear?

1210
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,960
Yes, that's what it means.

1211
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,960
Does he often have the machine on?
Course he has it on.

1212
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:32,640
Why else do you think he goes out
there to his bloomin' workshop?

1213
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:34,960
Spends a lot of time out there,
does he?

1214
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,640
He'd live out there,
given half a chance.

1215
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:41,000
Maybe he's got a young lady out
there. Him? Huh!

1216
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,480
It's not very nice for you,
is it?

1217
01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:47,960
Old lady in on her own.

1218
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:49,960
You could have an accident.

1219
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,960
He wouldn't know anything about it.

1220
01:31:53,480 --> 01:31:57,320
Strange, really.
He doesn't strike me as that sort.

1221
01:31:57,320 --> 01:31:58,960
What do you mean, that sort?

1222
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,960
People speak highly of him.
Say he's caring.

1223
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:04,960
SWITCHES SAW OFF

1224
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:09,960
"Why does he spend all his time
out there, then?"

1225
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,960
"He uses that machine as an excuse."

1226
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:17,960
"I think he can hear me,
but he just wants me to suffer."

1227
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:19,960
"Why would he want that?"

1228
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,320
"I know what I'm talking about."

1229
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:25,960
Ronald! Come in here. I want you.

1230
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,960
His vicar and his old ladies
and his bingo club.

1231
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,800
He can't do enough for them.

1232
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,800
But who has to sit here twiddling
her thumbs night after night?

1233
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:38,960
Oh, you're here, are you?

1234
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:40,960
What's happening?

1235
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:44,960
Why are you bothering Gran?
She's ill. She's an old lady.

1236
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,160
It was you I came to see.
Why? What do you want?

1237
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:53,640
I came to tell you she's going
to be all right - Mrs Haynes.

1238
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,960
How do you mean, all right?

1239
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,960
She recovered consciousness.

1240
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,320
I'll be able to talk
to her first thing tomorrow.

1241
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:05,960
And as I know
you've been very worried about her,

1242
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,960
I thought I'd drop by
and let you know.

1243
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:12,160
Yes. Sorry if I've butted in.

1244
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:15,960
It's all right.
I'll find my own way out.

1245
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:20,640
Oh. There was just one thing.

1246
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,960
Do you remember that I told you
I found a piece of a jigsaw

1247
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,960
down the side of Mrs Haynes' chair,

1248
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:30,960
and you told me you'd given her
a jigsaw puzzle as a present?

1249
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,960
Do you remember?
Yes, of course I do.

1250
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,960
When you gave that little present to
Mrs Haynes,

1251
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,960
would that have been on the Thursday?

1252
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:44,320
What's he talking about?
It's all right, Gran.

1253
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:47,640
You see,
there was wrapping paper in the bin.

1254
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,960
Yes. When I called to collect her.

1255
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,960
Oh.

1256
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:55,960
That's odd.

1257
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:59,960
I didn't find any trace of
a jigsaw puzzle, except this piece.

1258
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:03,160
You wouldn't have. I took it back.

1259
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,800
You took it back?
Why would you do that?

1260
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:09,320
Well, to tell you the truth,
we had a little tiff.

1261
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:12,960
A tiff? You mean you had a row?

1262
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:14,960
No, not a row. We just...

1263
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,960
Well, to be honest with you,
she turned on me.

1264
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:19,960
Turned on you? How's that?

1265
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,800
I don't want to talk about it.

1266
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:24,960
We just had a disagreement.

1267
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:26,960
Lost your temper, did you?

1268
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,960
That's right. I lost my temper.

1269
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:30,960
Always did have a temper.

1270
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,160
Careful. You'll get me into trouble.

1271
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:38,960
There's no fear of that.

1272
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,480
Don't you worry, Mr Gould.

1273
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:45,960
After what your gran's told me it's
a good job you're not on my list.

1274
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:48,960
How do you mean?
What has she told you tonight?

1275
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:53,960
Well, you told me
that you were in your workshop

1276
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:56,960
on both nights in question.

1277
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,960
And you said
your grandmother could confirm it.

1278
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:05,320
I realise now we've only got
your word on that.

1279
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:09,960
You could have popped out
for half an hour, couldn't you?

1280
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:13,960
As I say, as you're not on my list,
it's all right.

1281
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,320
Didn't you tell me that both your
parents had died in a car crash?

1282
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:22,960
Is that... Is that what he told you?

1283
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:25,960
Were they not, then, Mrs Archer?

1284
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:28,960
She wasn't married.

1285
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,960
She gave him his father's name

1286
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:35,960
and then she dumped him on me
when he was three months old.

1287
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,960
Why would you tell me
they were killed in a car, sir?

1288
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:42,000
He's ashamed of it, so he lies.

1289
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,640
He always has lied.
Come on now, Gran.

1290
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:47,960
Couldn't have been easy for you -

1291
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,960
widowed, middle-aged woman
on her own, bringing up a baby.

1292
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:53,960
For all the thanks you get.

1293
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:56,960
Firm with him, were you?
He was nothing but trouble.

1294
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,800
Didn't spare the rod?
He needed it!

1295
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:01,800
Oh!

1296
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,640
Didn't you try to set fire to
your school?

1297
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:06,960
Why did you do that?

1298
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:09,320
Why would he do that, Mrs Archer?

1299
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,960
His favourite teacher
bawled him out in front of the class

1300
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:14,960
and made him look small
and it upset him.

1301
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:16,960
It was them that said that.

1302
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,960
Who's 'them'?

1303
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,960
What does he mean, Mrs Archer?

1304
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:22,960
That report that woman did on him.

1305
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:24,960
Gran!

1306
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:26,960
The psychiatrist that said,

1307
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:30,960
'constantly seeking the approbation
of his elders'?

1308
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:33,800
I wonder what she meant by that,
Ronald.

1309
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:35,960
When's your mother's birthday?

1310
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:38,320
I don't know. I don't remember.

1311
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,960
Oh, yes, you do. Don't lie!

1312
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:42,960
Gran!

1313
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:44,960
March 26th, right?

1314
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:48,960
That's right.

1315
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:50,960
Yes, March, March 26th.

1316
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,000
On March 26th,
Mrs Haynes was attacked.

1317
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,960
Two years ago in Plymouth,

1318
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:01,960
an old lady was murdered
on March 26th.

1319
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,960
What do you make of that, Ronald?

1320
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,960
I don't know, I don't know. Do I?

1321
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:11,960
Do you miss her, do you?

1322
01:37:13,480 --> 01:37:15,640
Your mum?

1323
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,160
I must say she looks very nice.

1324
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:22,960
She was a tart!

1325
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,960
No. Don't say that, Gran.

1326
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,960
Don't say that.

1327
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:32,640
Well, what else was she?

1328
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:37,960
(WEEPS) Don't say that...

1329
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:40,960
A dirty little tart
who only had one thing on her mind!

1330
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:42,960
(YELLS)

1331
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,960
This interview
is now concluded at 10:15am.

1332
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:07,960
Thank you, Mr Gould.

1333
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:12,960
If you go with the sergeant here,
she'll look after you.

1334
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:55,960
You can keep the change.

1335
01:38:58,160 --> 01:38:59,960
Oh, I'm sorry.

1336
01:38:59,960 --> 01:39:01,960
Good afternoon.

1337
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:05,480
Mr and Mrs Bright.
What a coincidence!

1338
01:39:05,480 --> 01:39:06,960
Doing your weekly shop, then?

1339
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:09,960
Yes, I'm doing my shopping.

1340
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:11,960
How do you mean, coincidence?

1341
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:15,960
I was thinking you're right

1342
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:18,960
about my garden.
It's too much for me.

1343
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,960
I've decided to sell up and move.

1344
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:26,960
Oh! We'd hate to think we were
instrumental in your selling the car

1345
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,960
just because the ashtray was full,
wouldn't we?

1346
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:31,960
We would. Yes, we would.

1347
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:33,960
Well, there are
other considerations as well.

1348
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,000
The house being full of memories,
you mean?

1349
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,000
Yes. There is that.

1350
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:40,960
But I was thinking
more about the subsidence.

1351
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:42,960
What subsidence?

1352
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:45,320
The road is sinking.

1353
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:47,800
Didn't your surveyor tell you?

1354
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:53,000
Well, I won't keep you good people.
I'll be off. Good afternoon.

1355
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,960
