Transcript
00:00You
00:30They're blasting. Blasting without me.
00:32What's it matter?
00:33They never blast without me.
00:36You're not needed till afternoon shift.
00:38I have to be there now. Our happiness could be buried forever.
01:00I have to be there now.
01:30I have to be there now.
02:00I have to be there now.
02:29Oh, no.
02:36You've set the alarm.
02:37I suppose I must have missed them.
02:39Jeff.
02:39I'm told it's the gardening.
02:56Well, it would be.
02:57I suppose not great sometimes.
02:58It's been a marvellous holiday.
03:01Once we managed to meet up.
03:02He was in Australia.
03:03Robert here in England looking for me.
03:05What a mix-up.
03:07I'm so pleased you persuaded him to come over for Christmas.
03:11Ah, so am I.
03:12Have you been waiting long, Geoffrey?
03:15No time at all, Mrs. Wainfield.
03:17Oh, Australia was wonderful, but home is home, isn't it, Robert?
03:23Oh, they're lovely.
03:24Oh, they're lovely.
03:25Lots of jewels, look.
03:27Fancy stones from Dan Island.
03:29Here, Geoffrey.
03:30My word, Robert.
03:39I've been practising.
03:40Here, Geoffrey, this is your instrument, and you have to sit down on the ground.
03:44Go on.
03:44Sit you down, go on, hook her up your lips inside the mouthpiece, and make a sort of raspberry
03:50sound.
03:51Breathe in through your nose.
03:53You've got to get a sort of circular breathing going.
03:56In through your nose, and out into the didgeridoo.
03:59Right.
04:00Breathe in, and out.
04:06Of sound came their nom.
04:11Never mind, next time.
04:14Yes, you're seeing your cousin down here.
04:43Yes, tomorrow.
04:46I'll have a word get back to you.
04:47That's all right.
04:50A case, possibly.
04:51I didn't want to bother you with it straight away.
04:53Geoffrey, I'm ready for work.
04:55I'm fit as a bobbin.
04:56I'm raring to go.
04:57Ooh, is it?
04:58What's it about?
04:59Well, treasure.
05:01Hidden treasure.
05:03It was about three months ago.
05:06Stuart was in a disused part of the mine.
05:08An iron ore mine, up in Redrig, Mrs. Winter.
05:12On the day he died, he came rushing home.
05:18The warning who two were sounding, they were blasting underground.
05:21I don't know, I don't know what took him below.
05:26Nobody could give me a proper reason.
05:29But he knew they were blasting nearby.
05:32He knew the dangers.
05:35And the tunnel collapsed on him.
05:37I'm finished, sorry.
05:41But it's, er...
05:43It's not his death I've come to see you about.
05:53Hey, that's dead cool.
05:55Real eucalyptus wood, that's why.
05:57Hollered out by ants and termites.
05:59It says here that the advanced didgeridooist can imitate a crocodile's growl.
06:05Is that a request, Jarrett?
06:08One crocodile growl coming up.
06:12I've always wanted a puppy.
06:17Robert, please, I'm working.
06:21Sorry, Eddie, the dingo just leapt out.
06:24Yes.
06:26Well.
06:29This book of your husband's, that was stolen, there's only one copy.
06:35Yeah.
06:36That's why I'm so desperate to get it back.
06:38It was Stuart's life's work, all about the mines of Cumbria.
06:42He called it our pension.
06:44But since Stuart died, there've been rumours about a map in his book
06:48that shows where some valuable minerals are hidden in the mine.
06:52It's like a treasure hoard.
06:54Mrs Pridwell says some stones can fetch thousands.
06:57Is that a fact?
06:58Who'd own these mineral things?
07:02Well, when the mine closed down, the company sold it to the miners.
07:07But I suppose the landowners would still have the rights.
07:09So the minerals belong to them?
07:11Yes.
07:13Look, if it's money for your help, don't worry, I'm well off.
07:16I have my husband's redundancy, his insurances.
07:19Just find my husband's writing work.
07:22Put it back in my hands, please.
07:24It's red.
07:51Everything's red.
07:54It's all this iron stuff in the soil.
07:56Ore.
07:57Iron ore.
07:58Ah.
08:01Good morning.
08:02Morning.
08:03Who are you looking for?
08:05Information.
08:06I'm a writer researching the lives of women married to miners.
08:10Why do that?
08:11Because their true voice has seldom been heard.
08:16I heard too much of my wife's voice when I were married.
08:21Women have a right to be heard, don't you forget that.
08:25Henrietta Wainthroff.
08:27Sorry.
08:27Geoffrey Shawcross, my researcher.
08:34Jack Duckett, foreman.
08:35How do you do?
08:36How do you do?
08:37Come on, I'll show you around.
08:40Right.
08:41How are you staying hereabouts?
08:46With Myra Pridwell at Skiddar View.
08:48Oh, I think I'd use with a fain guest.
08:51Lost her husband.
08:53Accident in pit number three.
08:55Just a week after he put his redundancy cash in to keep the mine going.
08:59But there'll be an income from the vivid ends.
09:02I hope so.
09:02We're half a work in mine, half a heritage centre.
09:07You know, tours and that.
09:10Once a thousand miners used to work round here.
09:13Now we're down to less than a dozen.
09:15Really?
09:16Can't even afford to run the main shaft anymore.
09:19Ever been below?
09:22Underground.
09:23The lower depths, aye.
09:26No.
09:27Right, I'll give you the tour tomorrow.
09:29It'll be grand research, Geoffrey, for the book.
09:44Closed for lunch.
09:46Oh.
09:48I wondered where I might find Mrs. Pridwell.
09:52Oh.
09:53I heard there was a writer coming to the village.
09:56You want to put us in a book?
09:58Tragedy, that'd be.
09:59What is?
10:01Men and kids.
10:02That's all we know.
10:03Oh, I'm sure you know more than that.
10:06Women's truth.
10:07That's what I'm after.
10:09You staying with Moira Pridwell?
10:11Yes, I am.
10:12You're right for truth there.
10:14Will I?
10:15Oh, yeah.
10:16She tells a good story.
10:18I'm always keen on those.
10:20Ask her for one about filching from your mates.
10:22Connie, you don't know.
10:24That's what men say.
10:26If she's got money, why's she taking in lodgers?
10:29Scrubbing out village hall?
10:30To cover it all up.
10:32I heard Mrs. Pridwell was well set up with insurance.
10:36Oh, is that what she calls it?
10:37Why, what would you call it?
10:39Ask her yourself.
10:40redmine ilegal.pid.pid.pid.pid.pid.pid.pid.pid.pidpid.pid.pidpid.pid.pidpid.pidpid.pidpid.pidpid.pidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpidpid
11:10Busy lizies.
11:16May I ask just what it is you're doing?
11:19Trying to get into this shed.
11:20For what purpose?
11:21To hoe out them busy lizies.
11:23Joe must be off his rocker planting them gaudy things.
11:26This land is leased to me.
11:28Those pretty blooms happen to be my favourite flowers and have got nothing to do with you.
11:33Excuse me, this is my allotment.
11:35I've worked on it for years.
11:37You must be Robert Wainthrop.
11:39Aye.
11:40Well, you should be ashamed of yourself.
11:41It was a weed-strewn wilderness, rampant with the worst excesses of ground elder,
11:46and the sheds are disgraced.
11:47No, no, no, there must be some mistake.
11:49It was to be looked after in my absence.
11:51No, you'll find the name Noreen Bainbridge on this allotment, not Robert Wainthrop.
11:55I'll have to approach the committee about this.
11:58You're trespassing.
12:00Get off my land!
12:01I'm self-taught, you know.
12:16Oh, really?
12:19I'd never have guessed.
12:21Worked at mine.
12:22Surface, mostly.
12:23And it closed.
12:25Put my redundancy into this.
12:28Don't regret it.
12:29Hey, Blue, how are you?
12:35Angry, actually.
12:36Very angry.
12:37Have you seen Joe Rawlins?
12:39He was supposed to be looking after my allotment.
12:40When Paulie has Joe.
12:42Oh, sorry to hear that.
12:43Bad operation.
12:44He's down at his doters trying to get himself fit.
12:47Oh, it is bad news.
12:49Bad for him and bad for me.
12:51They've gone and given my land to someone who's colourblind.
12:54She grows busy lizies.
12:55That's a bit early.
12:56Eh?
12:57Why not see someone from committee?
13:00Er...
13:00Oh, Fred Butterworth's on his patch.
13:02Right, I will.
13:05You paint it a lot, don't you?
13:08Gets into you.
13:09You hate it.
13:11You can't leave it, Summer.
13:15See anything you like?
13:16I do discounts.
13:18Oh, I'd like a proper look round.
13:21Later.
13:22But right now I'm looking for somewhere to stay for a few days.
13:26There's a widow, Moira, looking for a lodger.
13:29She's a fine woman.
13:30Very fine.
13:31That room's taken.
13:35Black Ball's got rooms.
13:37Oh.
13:37If you see me in bar, it'll cost you a pint for the info.
13:40Right.
13:41Right.
13:41Hello?
14:09Hello?
14:09Oh, how did you know I was here?
14:13Your name's on the notice board outside.
14:16Moira Pridwell, caretaker.
14:18Well, it's an interest.
14:19I'm just getting to play a spook and spam for our annual dance.
14:23You mentioned redundancy payments and insurance.
14:27I need the full story, Moira.
14:30You've not been straight with me about your finances.
14:34Tata said.
14:36I think there's more to it than that.
14:39Moira?
14:51I'm sorry.
14:54Hetty?
14:57You're married, aren't you?
14:59Yes, I am.
15:01Then cherish him.
15:06You don't know what it's like after they've gone.
15:08Your home's an empty place.
15:11It's empty.
15:12And that book, my husband wrote it.
15:16It had years of his life in it.
15:19And I could see him at the table, writing.
15:22You know what the wives are saying about Stuart, don't you?
15:32What did they say?
15:34Well, when the mine was about to close,
15:37the men got together and pulled all the special minerals that they'd found.
15:41And they hid them in the pit.
15:43And when the time came for the share out, all the best ones had gone.
15:46And they said that my Stuart took them for himself and that he died trying to rescue them.
15:52Do the villagers think you know where the stones are?
15:55I swear I don't.
16:00I just want Stuart's book back.
16:02That's treasure enough for me.
16:05We'd no choice, mate.
16:06Didn't that deserve a hearing?
16:07You were off gallivanting down under.
16:10Your plot was a disgrace.
16:11Committee inspected and you had to go.
16:14Joe Rawlins?
16:15I don't care.
16:16Rules is rules and you're off.
16:18You sound like a football referee.
16:20Don't even get a yellow card.
16:21Well, it will plot to these and you'll get your turn on the list.
16:25Am I on the list?
16:26Aye, right at bottom.
16:30Yes, I can't promise, but if anything is found, it'll be passed over to you.
16:37Thank you, Mr Fulton.
16:40The agents for the landowners agree to pay back one-third of the sum the missing minerals fetch.
16:46Well, that's fair.
16:47If they do turn up, I suggest the proceeds are shared with everyone in the village.
16:56That way I can be paid and nobody else can bear a grudge.
17:02All right.
17:03All we have to do now is find the treasure.
17:06I've seen the map in Stuart's book, but it's something he said.
17:12A phrase, a word.
17:13The last words he spoke to me were something about happiness being buried.
17:22Happiness.
17:24Yeah, he often said it.
17:26Yes, happiness and lonely hearts.
17:30Could they be linked together?
17:33There was another word that was...
17:37No, lonely hearts.
17:38Between something and lonely hearts lies happiness.
17:43Oh, it's part of the mine.
17:47It's called, um...
17:49Oh, called, uh...
17:50Hunchback.
17:51Yeah?
17:53How did you know?
17:54Geoffrey, have you gone psychic?
17:56No, no, I went to an art gallery.
17:58The place was filled with pictures of the mine.
18:01They all had titles, uh, pit number this or tunnel number that.
18:05But one of them had a name.
18:06Hunchback.
18:07It's a big hump of red rock sticking out into an underground tunnel.
18:11Between hunchback and lonely hearts lies happiness.
18:17Lonely hearts.
18:18Well, the mine has had nicknames for different parts of the mine.
18:22I wonder if hunchback and lonely hearts are areas close to each other.
18:26Fancy that, do you?
18:32Yes.
18:34It's sort of, um, compelling.
18:41The lights, shadows, the shade.
18:44Is it really like that?
18:48Copied from life, aren't you?
18:49Hmm?
18:50We used to pat it for luck as we went past.
18:53I've realised it rather well, don't you think?
18:55Oh, I...
18:56125 quid and the hunchback's yours.
19:02I'm...
19:03I'm going down pit today.
19:04I'll...
19:04I'll look out for this.
19:05Oh, um, do you have any other paintings called Lonely Hearts or Happiness?
19:17No, why?
19:20I thought I saw one yesterday.
19:23No.
19:26110 for the hunchback, what do you say?
19:31I'll think about it.
19:35Don't go down the mine, Daddy.
19:50Sorry, Mrs. Mainthrop.
19:52It's an old song.
19:53Don't go down the mine, Dad.
19:55Dreams very often come true.
19:58It's like Big Bud John.
20:01You know, here lies the body of a big man.
20:04Hey, Jeff.
20:05Come on.
20:09We'll, uh, be about an hour.
20:12All things being well, ain't ya?
20:17Good luck, Jeffrey.
20:19Thanks.
20:19Thanks.
20:27Come on!
20:28I'll show you the luff holes.
20:52They're albaric calcite fluoride.
20:56Some people call it fluor-spar.
21:01Wait, please.
21:02Hey.
21:03Best quality kidney hematite, is that?
21:05Bloodstone.
21:06If we had enough of it, we'd be locking the socks off.
21:09Here you are.
21:10That's a luffo.
21:11Minerals would be taken out so they could be sold.
21:16Aye.
21:17Who would buy them?
21:18Oh, agent blokes from Carlisle.
21:20Was it worth the while?
21:22Oh, yeah.
21:23Special pieces, unusual shapes.
21:25Fetch up to five grand.
21:32Compressed air drills to get at the ore.
21:34And the digger digs it out and loads it onto bogies.
21:37Oh, that's the trucks to you.
21:40Right.
21:41I'm sure I've seen a painting of that.
21:44Oh, aye.
21:45Tommy Eskims.
21:46He swapped mining for art.
21:48Aye, something like that.
21:50Hunchback.
21:52Are there any other names?
21:53Oh, aye.
21:54Dead Man's Drift, Red River Valley, Lonely Arts.
21:58Sorry?
21:58It's just round there.
22:00Manage to work there on their own, so Lonely Arts.
22:04Only it's not used anymore.
22:06Too dangerous.
22:07It's where Stuart Pridwell died.
22:10What about happiness?
22:12What about it?
22:13Well, is that a place as well?
22:15It's not.
22:16Students never do as any talk.
22:18Stay here.
22:19Right.
22:21Hello?
22:22Hey, you lot!
22:23Hey, stop!
22:42Stop!
22:43Bye, man!
22:43Mrs. Whalenprop!
22:56Yes, ma'am.
22:59Mrs. Wainthorpe.
23:13Yes, what's happened?
23:14I hope you think there's been an accident.
23:16Young guy went down with Jack, she's gone missing.
23:19Geoffrey!
23:29Tony, Steve, he's going to take the first level.
23:35Mrs. Vanny, Mike, you take the second level.
23:44Let's go with two.
23:47What's happened?
23:48I told him to stay in pit number two, second level.
23:51It's those damn students pressing buttons and pulling the levers on the bogeys.
23:54He's got himself lost.
23:56We'll do a systematic search.
23:57One of the students said he thought he had some machinery.
23:59Machinery?
24:00Oh, for me.
24:01What are you waiting for?
24:02Go and find him.
24:03Come on, let's go.
24:05Right, right, go with Tony.
24:07Get down into the warm-up.
24:27And then, you know, n art.
24:35How are you waiting for me to stay in pit numbers?
24:41There's no reliable divide that doesn't come here.
24:42No!
24:42Nah, no.
24:44Miss the last part of the street in the westrico's room.
24:45Look at me!
24:47Let me find out!
24:49I've been waiting for you!
24:52You want me to meet?
24:53Why are you waiting for me to launch aท opioid?
24:55Janet. Oh, sorry, Mr. Wainthrop. I used my key. I forgot my hairdryer. I left it here.
25:07If I'm going for interviews, then I need to look the business.
25:10Ah, very important. Cup of tea? Yeah.
25:25How long has it been? It's been missing for almost an hour. Who has?
25:32Geoffrey. Where have you been?
25:36I came out of the back way, Mrs. Wainthrop. You're still tapers. We thought...
25:45You don't mean it. Order off without so much as by your leave.
25:50Well, appeal? Fight?
25:52No point. Fred Butterworth's the chairman of the committee. And he ordered me off.
25:57Well, who's this busy Lizzy woman?
25:59A Noreen Bainbridge.
26:02And who's she when she's at home?
26:04I don't know. Well, she dresses up like an advert for the Chelsea Flower Show.
26:20Don't worry. I'll see he gets it. Digging's hard work.
26:33Mrs. Wainthrop.
26:48I think I can find my way back to Lonely Hearts.
26:51What, by yourself?
26:52Easy peasy.
26:54At least wait until Stuart Pridwell's map's been found.
26:58Yeah, but...
26:59Men have been killed down there, Geoffrey.
27:02And you nearly joined them.
27:05We should really give this to the police.
27:08It might have been an accident, what happened to you.
27:12Or it might have been something else.
27:14It's a side passage.
27:16Some holes on the wall. Luff holes, they call them.
27:18I'm sure that's where happiness lies.
27:22You've really got it, haven't you, Geoffrey?
27:25What?
27:26The lust for hidden treasure.
27:29I suppose I have, yes.
27:33You're not the only one.
27:38She's put the pickle separately.
27:42Yes?
27:43Do you want something?
27:45Just a word, with your uncle.
27:49I'll look in later.
27:50Aye.
27:51Thanks for these.
27:53What do you want?
27:54I'm not standing by
27:55while a gentleman like Mr. Wainthrop
27:57gets treated like this.
27:58What I want is justice.
28:03OK, everybody.
28:04Now follow me,
28:05and please stay with the group at all times, alright?
28:19This way, please.
28:28Slow down, Geoffrey.
28:31You may be a budding Bevan boy, I'm not.
28:34Sorry.
28:35Getting near the hunchback place.
28:37Branch right.
28:39Lead on, Macduff.
28:42Shakespeare.
28:43Well, the guy next door mentioned Noreen was the Butterworth's niece, so I took a chance he jumped her up the list.
28:52I'll get me plot back.
28:54Well, you're next in line when one comes free.
28:56Oh.
28:57It'll give you a chance to plan it properly.
28:59Aye.
29:00That's true.
29:01Where to sew your busy lizzies.
29:02Cheeky.
29:16Touch the hunchback.
29:18What?
29:19For luck.
29:21Oh.
29:22There.
29:23We need luck, do we, to find our way.
29:33No, no.
29:35Lonely Hearts is...
29:38that way.
29:40Good.
29:41Good.
29:51Just passing.
29:52Thought I'd, er, say hello.
29:54Pay my respects.
29:57Can I, er...
29:59Dance in till Saturday, Tom.
30:02Thought I'd celebrate a bit of luck.
30:04Strong prospects for sale.
30:06Oh, yes.
30:07Yeah.
30:09Lodger in.
30:11She's doing the mine tour.
30:14I wondered if you might fancy a noggin up a black ball.
30:18Thanks, but no.
30:23Still missing Stuart?
30:25It's only been three months, Tom.
30:31Seems strange, Stuart, not being here.
30:34Been part of my life ever since he used to thump me at school.
30:38Not only at school, eh?
30:40Don't.
30:42Might I see you at the dance?
30:44I have to be there. I'm caretaker.
30:47I wish you'd take care of me.
30:49Matt, thanks for stopping by.
30:54I just want to put my marker down.
30:56I know Jack Duckett's gonna call on you.
30:59There's no vacancies here, Tom.
31:02Not for him.
31:04Not for anybody.
31:07This is where I got to.
31:09Lonely hearts?
31:11No, this must be happiness.
31:13Well, whatever. Let's get on. They'll miss us at any moment.
31:16Right.
31:18Are you sure this is where happiness lies, Geoffrey?
31:23Oh, I think so.
31:25It's different, somehow.
31:29That's the best I know.
31:30Well, you're the expert, Geoffrey.
31:34But to me, it's just like wet clay.
31:36There, that's it.
31:37This is it. This is where you're from.
31:38What?
31:39All there is is this.
31:40And this.
31:41Well, it's a locker key.
31:43All the men at the mine are issued with one.
31:44And there's only one locker.
31:45This is a locker key.
31:46All the men at the mine are issued with one.
31:47And there's only one locker this'll fit.
31:48Yes.
31:49Do you think that's where Stuart's books hidden?
31:50You don't have to be.
31:51There, that's it.
31:52There, that's it.
31:54This is it.
31:55This is where you're from.
31:56What?
31:57All there is is this.
32:03And this.
32:05Well, it's a locker key.
32:09All the men at the mine are issued with one.
32:11And there's only one locker this'll fit.
32:14Yes.
32:16Do you think that's where Stuart's books hidden?
32:19I don't know until we find the right one.
32:22Men's lockers are next to the museum.
32:48I don't know.
33:18What are you doing in here?
33:31We found a key.
33:33We wanted to see who it might belong to.
33:36Why not hand it in?
33:39It's great research.
33:41In here's a man's world, one that women never see.
33:43I wanted to cross the threshold, experience it firsthand.
33:48Fair dues, I'm out of order.
33:50Tell me who the locker belongs to.
33:52I'll apologise to him personally.
33:55Apologise to me.
33:57That locker's mine.
33:57Hello?
34:04Just ringing to say hello and that we're still on the treasure trail.
34:09I'm on the trail of a job.
34:10I've got an interview this afternoon.
34:11Man for your garage.
34:13Aim for the stars, eh, Geoff?
34:14Oh, you'll find the right job.
34:16You reckon?
34:17I'll wish me luck anyway.
34:18You've got it.
34:19Oh, if you see Mr. Wainthrop, tell him Mrs. Wainthrop's been down the mine and she's fine.
34:23What?
34:25Er, better just say she's fine.
34:28Right.
34:30When are you, Jack?
34:31Nout to do with it. Nout.
34:32No one said you did.
34:33Anyone does, they can come outside.
34:36In a miner's pub.
34:37It's a bit lively.
34:39I miss you.
34:40Oh, thanks.
34:41Listen, I've got to go.
34:43We'll talk soon, yeah?
34:44Okay.
34:44Bye, Jennifer.
34:45Hey, son.
34:52Stood up by your girlfriend?
34:54Yeah, it's the way it is.
34:56Hey, I'll have that pint now.
34:57Oh, sure.
34:58What is it?
35:00Best bidder.
35:01None of that lager rubbish.
35:02Must have.
35:03You're right.
35:04I lost the key yesterday.
35:07Or someone took it.
35:08I'm always leaving my coat lying around.
35:10He did say he'd lost it.
35:11Listen, I haven't got any of the stones.
35:12And anyone who's...
35:14What are you looking at?
35:18Just want to order a drink.
35:22Two pats of lager, please.
35:24Oh, no, bitter.
35:26Best bitter.
35:27There was a map.
35:29No, it's yours.
35:30X marked spot.
35:32Marked.
35:32Spot's empty.
35:34Good set, Niels.
35:36Find out we hit the jet pot.
35:38Then we hit him.
35:38Why hide a locker key in a hole down a mine?
35:49And there was nothing else in that treasure chest.
35:53Just a bit of rock to tell us the stones had been lifted.
35:56On Stuart's map.
35:58Which must be from his book.
36:03Were you and Jack ever involved with each other?
36:06Well, we went out a few times in our teens.
36:10But then we decided to marry other people.
36:12My marriage worked.
36:13His didn't.
36:15And he's single again.
36:18Stealing Stuart's book is not likely to endear him to me, is it?
36:22No, I don't suppose it would.
36:29Oh, the Gay Gordons.
36:33Can we still call it that?
36:35Of course we can.
36:37Just remember what it really means.
36:40Jolly.
36:41Merry.
36:42Joyous.
36:43Carefree.
36:44Debonair.
36:46Is that not so, Geoffrey?
36:48What's that?
36:49The Gay Gordons should stay that way.
36:52Isn't that up to them, Mrs. Wainthrop?
36:58Oh, it's good to get out a red rig for an hour.
37:02Do you know how many lakes there are in the Lake District, Mrs. Wainthrop?
37:06That locker key.
37:08One.
37:10Bassanthwaite.
37:11That one.
37:13All the rest are called water or mere.
37:19One lake in the Lake District.
37:22Thomas Escombe told me that.
37:27Did he, Geoffrey?
37:30I'd hope coming up here would clear our thoughts on other matters.
37:35Sorry, Mrs. Wainthrop.
37:37That locker key.
37:40Has to be a plant.
37:41Either for us or somebody else to find.
37:46Who'd want to do that?
37:51Steal the book, puzzle out the map.
37:54Find the minerals, sell them on for profit.
37:57I can understand all that.
37:58But why this nonsense of planted clues for us to find?
38:04To discredit, Jack Ducky.
38:09Yes, and if it is a plant, it can't be him, can it?
38:12This Thomas Escombe.
38:18He's a bit of an outcast, you say?
38:20Well, only because he wouldn't put his money into the mine.
38:24He keeps asking me to buy his terrible paintings.
38:28He paints the mine, does he?
38:30He does.
38:31Has Rescombe about?
38:39He's gone to Carlisle today.
38:41He'll be back tomorrow.
38:42I'm in charge, though I don't know why.
38:44Painting's a bit slow to shift.
38:47He offered me one instead of wages.
38:50You'd be spoiled for choice.
38:52I wasn't spoiled for anything.
38:56Oh, you men had it easy.
38:59Automatic pics.
39:01Diggers.
39:03I've seen my man come home,
39:06spitting up that red muck for nigh on an hour.
39:09Killed him, eventually.
39:12Some things they don't talk about.
39:14Two men killed here in 1920s.
39:17Widows got £600 each.
39:20But I heard there were sometimes bonuses
39:22the bosses knew nothing about.
39:25What do you mean?
39:27Spa.
39:28You're not referring to a grocery store?
39:30No, I'm not.
39:32I mean the minerals.
39:35I understand that not all of them found
39:37were turned over to the owners.
39:40Lads find a batch.
39:41Word would go round.
39:43Be sweets for kiddies that weekend.
39:45How would they be sold?
39:46Hard to say.
39:48Back of pubs.
39:49Blokes who came wouldn't advertise themselves much.
39:51Where did they come from?
39:53Oh, all over.
39:56Richard Rydell.
39:57I remember him.
39:58Well, you would, wouldn't you?
40:01Where did he come from?
40:03He's got a jewellery shop in Carlisle.
40:07Carlisle, you said.
40:11Oh, Jeff passed on a message for Mrs. Wainthrop.
40:14She's fine and hopes to be home in a couple of days.
40:17Oh, right, thanks.
40:22Everything all right, Janet?
40:24Yeah.
40:28No.
40:30Jobs.
40:31All I'm offered is grease monkey, peanuts for wages.
40:35Hmm.
40:36I'll have to find someone part-time.
40:39Only trouble is, it's easier to find a job
40:41when you've already got one.
40:43Hey, that's right.
40:45Thanks.
40:47Thanks for what?
40:48Well, for showing me that one job can lead to another.
40:51Oh, right.
40:53Is that what I said?
41:02Oh, right.
41:05I feel like Cicely Corbidge.
41:16Cicely who?
41:16Never mind.
41:17Turn.
41:18Turn!
41:23Morning.
41:25Oh, looks good.
41:26Thanks.
41:27Fancy a drink?
41:29Maybe later.
41:31You looking for someone?
41:33My friend Ketty.
41:34Oh, look, she's dancing.
41:37I can dance.
41:39I know.
41:41Well, how about it?
41:44Excuse me.
41:45Come on.
42:00Moira.
42:01Can I interest you in an oven?
42:02No, thanks.
42:03It's that other dance, isn't it?
42:05Can't forget.
42:06Won't forgive.
42:08I can.
42:08I remember that dance.
42:09Oh, Tom, please.
42:10Me and him went outside, squared up.
42:13I hated that.
42:14Me too.
42:14Stuart gave me a right good idea, but it's gone.
42:17Time's gone.
42:19He's gone.
42:20Yes.
42:21Excuse me.
42:22Moira, listen.
42:23Listen, I want to sell the gallery.
42:24There's nothing in Redbrick for us.
42:26Why don't we run away together?
42:28I belong here.
42:29A fresh start with someone who loves you.
42:31No, no, let go of me.
42:32Moira, ask them.
42:33No, no, stop it.
42:36Stop.
42:38How could you?
42:48Moira, what's happened?
42:50It's Thomas Eskimo.
42:52He wants me to run away with him.
42:54He started on about another dance years back.
42:57When him and Stuart had a fight.
43:00Over you.
43:01Look.
43:03Why can't he just leave me alone?
43:08I love Stuart.
43:11I just want his book back.
43:15Help me find it, please.
43:18I'll try.
43:25Thank you very much.
43:26Ladies and gentlemen, we've had a request from a Mr. Thomas Eskimo for a very special lady,
43:32Moira.
43:32Though it hurts to go away, it's impossible to stay.
43:40But there's one thing I must say before I go.
43:45I love you, you know.
43:49Have you seen Thomas Eskimo?
43:51He took a pint outside.
43:53There's a yard.
43:53Now the time is moving on, and I should be really young.
43:58But you keep me hanging out for one more time.
44:03I love you all the while.
44:07Don't look you like me.
44:09Won't you give that back?
44:12They do that in Russia.
44:13What?
44:15Or is it Greece?
44:16What you're on about?
44:17Just chatting.
44:18Go away.
44:23You've been talking to Moira?
44:25Mind your own business.
44:26You wanted her to run away with you.
44:32Is that because you've raised some money from the mineral things you took from the mine?
44:38What?
44:38I heard you'd gone to Carlisle.
44:42I phoned the jeweller, Richard Rydell.
44:44Talked to his wife.
44:45I described you to her.
44:49She said you'd been into their shop.
44:53She wouldn't say what for, but it's obvious.
44:56To sell the stones.
44:59Who the hell are you?
45:00A friend of a woman who's lost her husband.
45:05What have I done that you won't look, listen, love me?
45:12She thinks you're not for her.
45:15Then why should I do her any favours?
45:25It's chilly tonight.
45:27I think I'll go and light her through it out.
45:39No.
45:40Just burning some rubbish.
45:41No crime in light.
45:42You say you love Moira.
45:44What kind of a love destroys the things she cherishes?
45:47Cherish?
45:48She doesn't know what that word means.
45:50Stuart just accepted her.
45:52The wife, he'd say.
45:53The wife, like she was just any woman.
45:55Jack Duckett's just the same.
45:57Is that why you planted those things in his locker?
45:59To discredit him with Moira?
46:01Aye.
46:02That lad Jeff put me on to where minerals might be.
46:04He asked about lonely hearts and happiness.
46:06Thank him for me.
46:07You say you love Moira.
46:10If you burn Stuart's book, she can never love you.
46:17Stuart stole those stones.
46:20He was a thief.
46:22Yet she loves him.
46:25I do the same.
46:26And this.
46:33Well, this.
46:36Here.
46:36Now then, Jack.
46:51I have something for you and all the lads.
46:52Bryce and Carlisle wasn't enough.
47:03Take them.
47:04They're no use to me now.
47:15I start work tomorrow.
47:26What doing?
47:27Garage work.
47:29Oh.
47:30It's a start.
47:32New lives take time to plan.
47:34Mr. Wainthrope put me on to that.
47:36The guy in the last case found that out too.
47:39Yeah.
47:40Everything he did was for love.
47:43Oh, I'm all for that.
47:44And thanks to Janet, I've been reinstated at the top of the waiting list.
47:49Oh, that's good.
47:50But I'm afraid we may have to do without Runner Beans this year.
47:55We'll survive somehow.
48:02What's that?
48:04A present.
48:06What is it?
48:09Stuff that dreams are made of.
48:14We'll break.
