Transcript
00:00And I'd like a little golf myself, you know, but, you know.
00:09Well, granted, it's a nice car, Sonia, but the XK version with eight cylinders under the hood, now that's something else.
00:16As soon as I take delivery, I'll give you a spin.
00:18Right, Russ. I'll hold you to that.
00:24Same again, please, love, and whatever you're having, shop me, Mum.
00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Oh!
01:03Oh, my God.
01:05Oh, my God.
01:07Oh, my God.
01:09Oh, my God.
02:11Is that a second post?
02:12No, junk mail delivery.
02:14Oh.
02:15Yes, a dark suit, a crisp shirt.
02:17You can't beat it.
02:19I always said funerals suit you.
02:22Were you expecting something from Whitby?
02:25No, not really.
02:27I shouldn't cancel my hair appointment, should I?
02:29No, no, I'll be back well before then.
02:31What if we're asked back?
02:32I can always do the honours.
02:34You didn't know, Charlotte, how well did you?
02:36And some things can't be put off.
02:39Cheeky.
02:41I did tell you it was a long shot.
02:43Your cousin's probably moved on long since.
02:46You're probably right.
02:47I was just passing.
03:01Any joy?
03:02What do you think?
03:04What have you got there, then?
03:06Something that Aidy forgot to take with him.
03:08Left a forwarding address, did he?
03:10And his phone number.
03:11Maybe I'll call him and get him to pick it up.
03:14Seems a shame now you've wrapped it so nicely.
03:18What's a visible deterrent?
03:21Security guard.
03:23Why don't we just say it, then?
03:25Security, I suppose.
03:27Go for it.
03:28No, thanks.
03:29When I think of visible deterrent, I think of you.
03:33Oh, yes.
03:34It was sudden, all right.
03:36Still, 73.
03:38Not a bad innings.
03:40How's your better half?
03:41Still sleuthing?
03:43Aye.
03:44Yes, I thought I caught a glimpse of her at the church.
03:48Ah, yes.
03:49She had to shoot off.
03:51Ah.
03:52As in business.
03:53Anything that might interest our news desk?
03:56You should know better than to ask.
04:01Oh, sorry, Hetty.
04:03I'll be with you in a tick.
04:04That's all right.
04:11Now, then, how are you?
04:13I'm well looked after, thank you.
04:15So have a cup of tea and get your breath back.
04:18Oh, I'm fine.
04:19I'm just a bit flustered, that's all.
04:22I visited the hospital and I got stuck in the traffic.
04:24Make a cup of tea for Mrs Halliwell, Julie.
04:28The hospital?
04:29Mm-hm.
04:29Nothing serious, I hope.
04:31Not with me.
04:32I was visiting Russell.
04:34They're quite worried about him.
04:36He's been beaten up and fractured his skull.
04:39Beaten up?
04:40Why?
04:42Well, he says he doesn't know.
04:44Was it for money or valuables?
04:47Well, apparently not.
04:49He was having a lunchtime drink.
04:51He went to the gents and this man just laid into him.
04:53There was no arguments, nothing.
04:55But that's dreadful.
04:57Did he know the man?
04:58He says he'd never seen him before.
05:01Oh, you can't believe it, can you?
05:03What do the police say?
05:05Well, they know who did it.
05:06They arrested him straight away.
05:08Well, that's good.
05:09What'll happen to Charlie's column?
05:15Well, we'll find another writer and it'll appear as usual.
05:18Joe Elder is dead.
05:20Long live Joe Elder's column.
05:22Oh, he had a particular turn of phrase to Charlie.
05:25I think I'll know if someone else has written it.
05:27You might, but thousands won't.
05:31So, would he need any experience, Charlie's replacement?
05:36Well, not particularly, no.
05:37Well, you've got to be 60-plus, opinionated,
05:40and able to scribble a few plain words.
05:42If you think of anybody, give me a call.
05:47You're going to be writing Charlie's column
05:50before the ink's even dry on his last offering.
05:53Oh, it's not his column.
05:54It's been written by 14 people over the years.
05:57I know that.
05:58It just seems a bit insensitive
05:59to be planning it all at his funeral.
06:02In a paper near you, Robert Wainthrop is Joe Elder.
06:06I'm impressed.
06:10What are you going to write about?
06:11I've no idea yet.
06:13Joe Elder's supposed to have strong opinions.
06:16I've always left that side of things to you.
06:18Hey.
06:20I'll go.
06:20Hello, Dawn.
06:31Hattie.
06:32Can I have a word?
06:34Of course.
06:34Come in.
06:37Oh.
06:39Nice.
06:39The police went to see Russ this afternoon
06:49about the assault.
06:52He's asked them to drop the charges.
06:55Drop them?
06:56Why?
06:57They told him that Skulls,
06:59the man who attacked him,
07:00had made a counter-accusation.
07:03What sort of accusation?
07:05That Russ had made an approach to him.
07:09Russ wouldn't elaborate.
07:11He was too disgusted.
07:12He said it was at an insult to injury.
07:18What do the police say?
07:20Well, they think it's a smear
07:21to make Russ back off.
07:23They'd like to take this thug to court.
07:25But Russ thinks that the mud might stick.
07:28Understandable, I suppose.
07:33But what about the next victim
07:34who happens to get in this man's way?
07:38That's it, though, isn't it?
07:40Was Russ really picked out at random?
07:44What are you saying, Dawn?
07:46I want you to find out
07:48if he's got himself into something
07:49that he can't handle.
07:53Like what?
07:53I'm not asking any favours, Hetty.
07:59I'll pay the price.
08:03Yeah, Russ is a regular.
08:05Not every day,
08:06but two or three times a week.
08:08And what about Skulls?
08:10No.
08:11I've seen him around, though.
08:12He works at a gym not far from here.
08:15Was Mr Halliwell talking to him?
08:17No, he was at the bar.
08:19Skulls over by the fruit machine.
08:20On his own?
08:21As far as I can remember.
08:23When Russ went to the gents,
08:25did Skulls follow him
08:26or was he already in there?
08:27Look, it's like I told the police.
08:29I was behind here getting on,
08:31so really I'm not sure.
08:33But I think he went in after Russ.
08:35And no words,
08:37angry or otherwise,
08:38had passed between them.
08:40No.
08:42Now, are you sure I can't get you a drink?
08:44No, thank you.
08:45We don't drink on duty.
08:48Oh.
08:49It is serious stuff, then.
08:51Do you have any thoughts
08:52on why Mr Halliwell was attacked?
08:54Not really.
08:56Russ is a really nice fella.
08:58He'll buy anybody a drink.
08:59Especially those of the opposite sex.
09:02Well, yes.
09:03He does have a bit of a twinkle.
09:06Eureka!
09:23I spent days down the job centre
09:26getting absolutely nowhere
09:27and you step into some dead man's shoes.
09:29Now, don't you start.
09:31Maybe I should check the obituary column first.
09:34You sure you're not getting too picky?
09:36I want a job driving forklift trucks,
09:38not the Euro shuttle.
09:40Oh, yeah.
09:40I can drive them and I can maintain them.
09:43Maybe so,
09:43but there are not many lasses
09:45in that line of work, are there?
09:47You should never have given up
09:49that job at the garage.
09:50Oh, Aidy Atherton.
09:54Where?
09:55Up there.
09:57He must have posed for the sign painter.
09:59Oh, don't talk daft.
10:00Just look at those muscles
10:01and that full canteen of teeth.
10:03He's the spit.
10:05He's moved out of Janet's flat.
10:07Now, get him out of your mind, Geoffrey.
10:09Easy to say,
10:10but he throws a very long shadow.
10:15Hello.
10:16Hello.
10:17Are you in charge here, Mr...
10:19Sculls.
10:20Dean Sculls.
10:21What can I do for you?
10:22This is my nephew.
10:24I'm thinking of buying him membership
10:26as a birthday present.
10:27Oh, come in.
10:28I'll show you around.
10:34Sproom floor in the gym
10:41for aerobics, circuits,
10:43stretching exercises.
10:44In here,
10:46cardiovascular room.
10:47Step-ups,
10:49bikes, rowers.
10:51Jiring on the joints,
10:52kept to a minimum,
10:53but plenty of hammer on the ticket.
10:55All right, Donna.
10:58Down here,
10:59weights room.
11:01Loads of poundage
11:02for bodybuilding.
11:03If that's what you're after,
11:04I'm not sure yet.
11:07I'm not exactly what you'd call
11:09chunky.
11:10No.
11:11He's been poorly.
11:13I did wonder.
11:14Well,
11:14looks like your auntie's prez
11:16has come in the nick of time.
11:17That's as may be,
11:19but I think he ought to have a go
11:20before I spend the money.
11:23Dean Sculls.
11:24Just enough brains
11:25to be bothersome.
11:26Why haven't you charged him?
11:28I'm sure you know why.
11:30Sculls claimed that Halliwell
11:31made advances of a sexual nature.
11:33Do you believe that?
11:35No.
11:36So why was he assaulted?
11:37Sculls is a thug.
11:39He doesn't need an excuse
11:40to thump anyone.
11:41Russell Halliwell was in the wrong place
11:43at the wrong time.
11:44Is that what you're saying?
11:45Have you met Sculls yet?
11:47Yes,
11:47at the gym where he works.
11:50Off the record,
11:51we think Sculls has an under-the-counter business,
11:54selling steroids to bodybuilders.
11:56Illegal, of course,
11:57but we don't have any firm evidence.
11:58The attack on Halliwell
12:00might be connected.
12:01An unpaid debt, perhaps?
12:03Russell Halliwell said
12:04he'd never seen Sculls before.
12:07Well, he would,
12:08wouldn't he?
12:08What are you doing here?
12:23Reporting here.
12:24What else?
12:25How is he?
12:26Well, he's on the mend.
12:27He thinks he might be out tomorrow.
12:29We'd better get a move on then.
12:31Why?
12:32What have you found out?
12:32Not a lot.
12:34I want you to give me
12:35a bit more information.
12:37What about?
12:38Have a look at his bank statements,
12:40credit card statements,
12:41itemized phone bills.
12:44Oh.
12:44Is there a problem?
12:47Well, we've always kept separate accounts
12:49and what with my business.
12:52I didn't want any confusion.
12:54Very sensible.
12:56Well, having laid down the law,
12:58it's wrong for me
12:59to pry into his things now.
13:01Well, what you mean is
13:03that's what you're paying me to do.
13:04Well, I think...
13:06Dawn,
13:07the next time he could be really hurt.
13:11What?
13:12So far, all we know for certain
13:13is that Sculls isn't a jealous husband
13:16because he isn't a married man.
13:19Oh.
13:19But we're equally sure
13:21that this attack
13:22was not a matter of chance.
13:24It wasn't.
13:25We think that Russ was this man's target.
13:28and for all we know,
13:31he still is.
13:32What do you want?
13:49What do you think?
13:50Trouble with the car.
13:53Can I come in?
13:54What for?
13:55Janet!
13:55I can't stand
13:57not seeing you.
13:59You're going to have to come up
13:59with something better than that.
14:01All right.
14:02I'll hoover
14:02right through
14:03without any obligation.
14:05Come in.
14:11Did Mr. Wainthrop
14:12tell you how I'd been?
14:13What do you mean?
14:14Dead miserable.
14:16No, he didn't.
14:17Well, I am.
14:20What have you got to be miserable about?
14:23You've got a job with bed
14:24and board thrown in.
14:25I haven't got you.
14:27And if I haven't got you,
14:28then I've got nothing.
14:30If you had any gumption at all,
14:32you could have been here every night
14:34hoovering.
14:36I've said I'll tell them.
14:38Yeah.
14:38I've been like a son to them, Janet.
14:41I have to do it right.
14:42It's too late.
14:42I've got to get another lodger
14:44or move out.
14:44No, I'll do it.
14:45I just have to pick my moment.
14:48Keep talking.
14:49I'm all ears.
14:52Well, as a minor royal
14:54has agreed to open
14:55the extension to the wireworks,
14:57what about a piece on the monarchy?
15:00I had a number of very interesting views
15:02on my recent trip to Australia.
15:05Oh, Charlie did that too.
15:09Well, well, what about...
15:11Ah!
15:12Hazardous waste.
15:13Not in my backyard.
15:15Oh, Charlie did that too.
15:20Right.
15:22Cheers.
15:25No good.
15:26Any of them.
15:27Oh, dear.
15:32What was it you wanted to ask me about?
15:34Hmm?
15:35Something you wanted to discuss.
15:37Oh, that!
15:38Yeah.
15:39Yeah.
15:39No.
15:40Er...
15:40That can wait.
15:46What's the story?
15:47We're customers.
15:49You take a look round the trade counter.
15:51I'll do the retail displays.
15:52Oh!
15:58I'm sorry.
16:00They're quite small, aren't they?
16:02The standard size, madam.
16:03May I help?
16:04Er, thank you, yes.
16:06I came in to see Mr. Halliwell.
16:08I'm sorry.
16:09Mr. Halliwell's off sick.
16:10Oh, nothing serious, I hope.
16:12He's been badly injured.
16:14An accident.
16:15An assault.
16:16An assault.
16:18He's in a real mess, apparently.
16:20Are you a friend of his?
16:21Oh, a friend of a friend.
16:23I always understood he was an amiable sort of person.
16:28Yes.
16:29Of course, some people here were always saying he'd come unstuck.
16:33Oh, why is that?
16:34Well, it's no secret, really.
16:36Russ could get a bit over-familiar.
16:39Not with me, of course.
16:41No, no.
16:43So the attack could have been over a woman, you mean.
16:47Everything all right?
16:48Yes, Mr. Kenyon.
16:50This lady was asking for Russ.
16:51Oh, well, I'm afraid he's not in today.
16:54So I gather.
16:56Injured in shocking circumstances, I hear.
17:00This lady's a friend, Mr. Kenyon.
17:02The friend of a friend.
17:03I see.
17:05Well, I'm sure Russell have all the friends he needs when he comes back.
17:08Now, is there anything I can do to help you?
17:12Hey.
17:13George Bernard Shawcross.
17:15Hey, Mose.
17:16How's it going?
17:17Yeah, pretty fair.
17:18How's yourself?
17:19Not bad, yeah.
17:20So, what are you doing here?
17:21Oh, er, I'm a test pilot for Harrier Jolt Jets.
17:25Stormen, right?
17:26Yeah, you always were, Sharp.
17:27Yeah.
17:28What happened, eh?
17:29Good to see you, Mose.
17:32Hey.
17:34Yes.
17:35And there's another range you should look at.
17:38No more for now, Mr. Kenyon.
17:40My husband's allergic to glossy brochures.
17:42They bring him out in a rash.
17:44Private investigator.
17:46Straight up.
17:47Yep.
17:48So, what are you doing here?
17:50Just looking round.
17:51You're here on a job.
17:53Shh, keep it down.
17:53You are.
17:54What is it?
17:55Who is it?
17:57Rush Halliwell.
17:58You know him?
17:59Sure.
18:00Somebody lamped him.
18:00Yeah.
18:01What can you tell me about him?
18:03Oh, nothing now.
18:05He's the boss.
18:05I'm supposed to be working.
18:07See you, Rick.
18:07What's the matter?
18:29I won't be in, Mose.
18:30Mose!
18:32Mose!
18:35Fancy a drink?
18:36Yeah, when?
18:37Tonight.
18:37Eight o'clock and three tons.
18:38All right.
18:39See you there.
19:36This is simple as that.
19:37Got it?
19:49You'll do yourself a mischief.
19:52What are you doing here?
19:53I came to see what you were up to.
19:54This is not a spectator sport, Mr. Wade.
19:57It's not a sport at all in my book.
19:59What do you want to go torturing yourself like this for?
20:01I'm not. I'm working.
20:03Oh, yes.
20:04That Adrian fellow has a lot to answer for.
20:06What's that supposed to mean?
20:08Thank you, no.
20:10There's another fellow you want to steer clear.
20:13Scalds?
20:14He's the one I'm watching.
20:15I just saw him working that fellow over in the back room.
20:24Evening.
20:25Need some help?
20:26No, thanks. Just checking on the young fellow here.
20:28All right. He's my uncle.
20:29Oh, well, he's in good hands, uncle.
20:32Right. I'll, uh, better leave him to it, then.
20:38Ah!
20:43You and me should have a little talk about diet.
20:46A lad like you needs a bit of help to bulk himself up.
20:50What do you mean?
20:51Well, supplements.
20:52I can do some at a good price.
20:55Take my word for it.
20:56Your body could look like a sock full of conkers in no time.
20:59Are you sure it was Kenyon?
21:02Positive.
21:05Well, what's he doing with a man like Scalds?
21:08More to the point, what was Scalds doing with him?
21:15Oh!
21:16Here's Moe's.
21:17Moe's.
21:22All right.
21:23Hey.
21:24What's he having?
21:25Uh, bitter.
21:26Pint of bitter, please.
21:28Sonia?
21:28You brought your mother?
21:31She's the boss.
21:32Oh.
21:33She doesn't look much like a private detective.
21:35No.
21:36That's the point.
21:37Oh.
21:38Yeah, I'm sorry I had to dash this afternoon.
21:40Oh, that's all right.
21:41Is that your job?
21:42Driving the forklift truck?
21:43Oh, not likely, no.
21:44I'm just filling in until they find someone.
21:46That wouldn't mean there's a job going for an experienced driver.
21:50Why?
21:51I know someone who's lucky.
21:521.87, please.
21:55Keep the change.
21:57Come on.
22:02Mrs. Rainflop.
22:03This is Graham Moseley.
22:05Call me Mose.
22:06What does your mother call you?
22:07Graham.
22:08Then that'll do for me.
22:14Geoffrey says you know Russell Halliwell.
22:17Uh, yeah, we work at the same place.
22:19You any idea why he's been assaulted?
22:22Not for sure, but I know a few who weren't surprised.
22:25Oh.
22:26Yeah, he thinks a lot of himself does Russ.
22:28Shh, shh, shh.
22:29Oh.
22:30I mean, I quite like him, because he's always giving me his chat-up lines.
22:34Yes, we hear he's very popular with the ladies.
22:37Yeah, all of them, if you believed everything he said.
22:40But not quite so popular with the gentlemen.
22:43What does Mr. Kenyon make of him, for example?
22:47He's not over-fussed.
22:48A few months ago, Russ and Kenyon applied for the top job,
22:51and Russ lost out.
22:53I see.
22:54How did he take it?
22:56Well, badly.
22:57Especially when Kenyon started to reorganise the place.
23:00Now, Russ reckons he's been demoted,
23:02so every chance he gets, he puts the knife in.
23:04How?
23:04Well, rubbishing Kenyon's management,
23:08dishing the dirt on his wife.
23:10Kenyon's wife?
23:11Yeah, Paula Kenyon used to work at the warehouse.
23:14Go on.
23:15Well, she used to be a girlfriend of Russ.
23:18Serious, they say, but he wouldn't leave his wife.
23:21Now, Russ is saying she married Kenyon on the rebound,
23:24and that he's seeing her again.
23:26Halliwell is seeing Paula Kenyon.
23:28That's what he says.
23:30Sour grapes, I reckon.
23:31I mean, the guy's all mouth.
23:35Oh, are we off?
23:36I am.
23:37You stay and enjoy yourself with Graham.
23:40I fancy a taste of these sour grapes.
23:42Ta-da.
23:44I didn't ask for victim support.
23:45I appreciate that, Mr. Halliwell.
23:49My services are entirely optional.
23:52Who told you about me?
23:54The police have a list.
23:55It's confidential, of course.
23:58You see, when somebody is the victim of an attack like this,
24:03it affects their confidence badly.
24:06More so than if they'd known their attacker
24:08or the reason for it.
24:14Would it help to talk?
24:16I doubt it.
24:20Was the man drunk?
24:22No.
24:25What did he say?
24:27Not a word.
24:29Nothing?
24:30Nothing.
24:32This is completely confidential, Mr. Halliwell.
24:36Did you say anything to him?
24:39No.
24:40You've no idea why he did this to you?
24:42None.
24:43Now, look, if you don't mind,
24:44I just want to get out of here and forget it.
24:46Yes!
25:14Yes!
25:14Ah, Joel, just caught you.
25:38Yes, sorry, a bit pushed out. What was it?
25:40My idea for the Joe Elder column.
25:42Narcissism, the new religion.
25:45Go on, then.
25:46Well, it came to me after I'd been to one of them fitness centres
25:49that are springing up everywhere.
25:51Churches, dark and empty.
25:53These places lit like beacons,
25:55with fanatics worshipping their own bodies.
25:59Mirrored walls, would you believe?
26:01Body or soul.
26:02Is that the idea?
26:03Aye.
26:05Yes.
26:06Sounds quite promising.
26:07Do it.
26:08Johnny Fraser.
26:22Right.
26:23This way.
26:24There was nothing unusual on his bank statement or the phone bill,
26:30but there are two entries on his credit card statement I couldn't fathom.
26:34One for a place called Knackneeks and one for Blooms R Us.
26:38All right, Dawn.
26:40We'll follow them up.
26:41Well, I'd better get these back where I found them.
26:44He's coming out today.
26:45It'll be lovely to have him home again.
26:47It'll be lovely to have him.
27:18Guess what?
27:19I got it!
27:23You knew.
27:24Oh, I couldn't help making a phone call.
27:26Hey, brilliant!
27:26Oh, not just any job.
27:27THE job.
27:28Forklift truck operative.
27:30Just trips off the tongue, doesn't it?
27:34Come here.
27:35One for you and one for your old schoolmate.
27:39The old boy network alive and trucking.
27:41Oh, thanks.
27:42Oh, nothing to it.
27:43Once they saw you, the job was yours.
27:45Yeah, it's right.
27:45Yeah, I've just come from the gym.
27:47Had a quick shower and go.
27:49Oh?
27:49I thought you only had a trial membership.
27:51Well, I told them I still couldn't decide and Cad's done other two visits.
27:54Can you, er...
27:56Can you feel the difference?
27:57What do you mean?
27:58Well, am I a bit lumpier?
28:00I'm not sure I like lumps.
28:02In all of the right places.
28:04I thought it was obvious that I like my men lean and wiry.
28:07Well, yeah, but...
28:07As long as you can take the cork off that bottle, that's all the muscle I need in a bloke.
28:11Anything caviar, I can handle meself.
28:14I think I'll go up.
28:24Right.
28:27500 words exactly.
28:29Well done.
28:31How many was it you started with?
28:332,400.
28:34I think your style was destined for a bigger newspaper, Robert.
28:40I got carried away.
28:43Body or soul?
28:46Needed saying, Hetty.
28:48Absolutely.
28:49Make a few fitness fanatics sit up and think.
28:52Well, I hope you're not going to sit up and think for too much longer.
28:56Geoffrey's got his key, has he?
28:57Yes, but something tells me he won't be using it tonight.
29:03Oh?
29:04Did he say anything?
29:06I think he's been trying to.
29:10Ah.
29:11I suppose they're sensible enough to know what they're doing, Robert.
29:16Yes.
29:18Yes, I think so.
29:23Good night.
29:27Good morning, madam.
29:44Oh, good morning.
29:45I wonder if you could solve a little mystery for me.
29:50What's the problem?
29:51About a month ago, while I was abroad,
29:53I asked my son to phone a gift of flowers to a friend.
29:57His credit card statement shows that a charge was made,
30:01but my friend said she never received them.
30:04Oh, I see.
30:04What's the name?
30:05Halliwell.
30:07The transaction was dated the 18th.
30:10I'll just check.
30:12Rosa's ordered by Mr. R. Halliwell and delivered on the 18th.
30:36Ah, but was it to the right person?
30:39Paula Kenyon, 43 Buckingham Drive?
30:42Yes, that's her.
30:43How strange.
30:45In fact, I delivered some more flowers myself to this address a week or so ago.
30:49To Paula Kenyon?
30:50Yes.
30:51Her husband accepted them.
30:53Perhaps he could help you clear up the confusion.
30:54You disappoint me, Geoffrey.
30:59I thought you were made of sterner stuff.
31:02Mrs. Wainthrod, there are places even the toughest gumshoes shouldn't go.
31:07Never mind.
31:08We've got what we need.
31:13I suppose you and Janet were out celebrating last night.
31:17We stayed in.
31:19Oh?
31:21With a takeaway and wine.
31:24Very nice.
31:26It was.
31:28I had too much to drink to risk driving back.
31:32I see.
31:36Somewhere safe to put the car at Janet's, is there?
31:40Hmm.
31:40Just round the back.
31:42Oh, that's handy.
31:44In fact, I was thinking of parking it there on a more permanent basis.
31:55Yes, I rather thought you might.
31:57You don't mind, do you?
32:02It's not for me to mind, Geoffrey.
32:06You're old enough to know your own.
32:11Cheers, Mrs. Wainthrod.
32:14Mrs. Kenyon?
32:23Yes?
32:24May we trouble you for a moment?
32:27Well, how can I help?
32:29We're investigating the circumstances surrounding the assault on Russell Halliwell.
32:34Russ Halliwell?
32:35You do know that he's been injured?
32:37No, I'm sorry.
32:38Should I?
32:39I thought your husband might have mentioned it.
32:41No, I think you must have the wrong person.
32:43You do know Russell Halliwell?
32:45Yes, of course I do.
32:47But that doesn't mean he's a topic of conversation in this house.
32:49I see.
32:50So, if you don't mind...
32:51I appreciate your concern for privacy, Mrs. Kenyon.
32:55But I do think you can help us.
32:57Who are you working for?
32:59Mrs. Halliwell.
33:00Has she sent you?
33:01Does she know you're here?
33:02No.
33:03Nor does she know that her husband has been sending you flowers.
33:06The Joe Elder column.
33:14On the dot.
33:19They...
33:19They will get you, won't they?
33:22Oh, aye.
33:24I was in love with him.
33:26Stupid, really.
33:27I knew what he was like.
33:28When it became obvious he was never going to leave Doolner.
33:31Finished it.
33:32Martin joined the firm shortly after.
33:35We got married.
33:36I left work.
33:36That's it, really.
33:38As far as I'm concerned, Russ Halliwell is history.
33:40Then why is he sending you flowers?
33:43To upset Martin.
33:44Ever since Martin got the manager's job ahead of Russ,
33:46he's been trying to foul things up.
33:48In what way?
33:49By trying to undermine him at work.
33:51And at home?
33:53I've told Martin, as far as I'm concerned,
33:55he's got nothing to worry about.
33:57Funny thing, though, worry.
33:59When it takes a hold.
34:01What's any of this got to do with an assault on Russ?
34:04Your husband's a member of a fitness club?
34:06Yes.
34:07A man named Scholes helps to run it.
34:09Has he ever mentioned him?
34:10I don't think so.
34:11We think they're on close terms.
34:13So what?
34:14It was Scholes who beat up Russ Halliwell.
34:17So what are you saying?
34:18That because Martin knows this guy,
34:20he must have had something to do with it?
34:21We have to ask the question.
34:23Martin hates violence.
34:25Whatever the provocation.
34:26No question.
34:27I know him.
34:28What did you do with the flowers?
34:31The flowers?
34:31I threw them straight in the bin.
34:33And the same with the second lot?
34:35Second lot?
34:36The flowers that were delivered here a few days ago.
34:39Didn't your husband tell you?
34:44Halliwell was making Kenyon's life a misery.
34:46So he gets Scholes to beat him up.
34:48QED.
34:49But in that case,
34:50why didn't Scholes say anything to warn Halliwell off?
34:53I don't know.
34:54Neither do I, Geoffrey.
34:56I think Mr. Scholes may be working
34:58to a completely different agenda.
35:00I think she's nearly as good as she said she was.
35:25Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Kenyon on the phone for you.
35:30You're right.
35:31Tell her I'll call her back.
35:32Mrs. Kenyon?
35:33Yes?
35:34Dean Scholes.
35:34I'm sorry.
35:35I'm sorry.
35:36My husband's out.
35:36I'm sorry.
35:37I'm sorry.
35:37I'm sorry.
35:38I'm sorry.
35:38I'm sorry.
35:39It's you I've come to see.
35:46Right, would you like to leave her your own accord?
35:59Do you want security to deal with you?
36:12When a company employee is seriously injured, Mr. Kenyon, it's surely your duty to assist inquiries.
36:18Have I inflicted myself in some absurd story, dreamt up by you?
36:22Do you deny that Russell Halliwell is pestering your wife?
36:25I'm denying you any more of my time.
36:27If I catch either of you spying on me or my wife in the future, I shall call the police!
36:31Kenyon, what is it?
36:33Pa-Paula?
36:38Are you all right?
36:40What did he want?
36:44No.
36:45No.
36:46I'm coming now.
36:49Lucy, I'm going out.
36:51See my visitors off the premises, will you?
36:57What do you reckon?
36:59When in doubt, Geoffrey, head for the sound of gunfire.
37:04What do you want?
37:20What do you want?
37:21Who called, Mrs. Kenyon?
37:23Was it Scholes?
37:26We may be able to help you.
37:34Martin?
37:35What the hell you let these to him for?
37:39We need help.
37:40They've come to bury me, stupid.
37:41Well, would you rather deal with that thug?
37:42I said leave it to me, all right?
37:43Oh, and will you be here when he comes again?
37:47Tell us how you got involved with Scholes, Mr. Kenyon.
38:06There's no other way.
38:10Things have been building up between me and Ross Alliwell.
38:17Well, Paula told me not to be drawn but I was losing control at work and starting to
38:20doubt her word.
38:21Of course, when the second lot of flowers came, well, it just got to me, didn't it?
38:28I have no idea why I confided in Scholes.
38:31Desperation, I suppose.
38:33Go on.
38:35He said he'd have a quiet word with Alliwell for me.
38:38Warning him about giving me any more grief.
38:41Scholes said he was going to talk to Alliwell.
38:43Yeah, just talk.
38:45Well, I heard what he'd done.
38:47I couldn't believe it.
38:48I was expecting the police to call at any minute.
38:50Why?
38:51Well, it would seem like I'd sent Scholes on to him, wouldn't it?
38:53Well, I can see that, yes.
38:56But as long as you hadn't paid him any...
38:59You hadn't, had you?
39:02Scholes told me he had a cash problem.
39:09In return for doing me this favour, he suggested I buy a load of the bodybuilding rubbish he sells.
39:14Well, he said I could fuck it or use it meself.
39:17Well, it was a trap, of course.
39:19And now he wants more money for keeping quiet about Martin's part in it.
39:23If this comes out, I'll lose me job, the house, everything.
39:32Have you paid any more?
39:33No, no.
39:34That's why he came round and threatened Paula.
39:36Well, I told him I hadn't got any when I haven't.
39:38But it won't end there.
39:40Tell her.
39:42He wants me to organise something at the warehouse.
39:45Organise what?
39:47A credit account under a false company name so he can just roll up and take what he wants.
39:56I shouldn't be feeling sorry for him.
39:58But caught between Halliwell's stupidity and this thug Scholes, the man had no chance.
40:03I don't do deals, Mrs. Wainthrow.
40:06I know that.
40:08Martin Kenyon's just hoping for some recognition for helping to bring Scholes to book.
40:14Of course, once you explain to Mrs. Halliwell why her husband was assaulted,
40:18we may be forced to reopen the case.
40:20Kenyon accepts that.
40:22But he'll just have to take his chances.
40:25No promises.
40:27Message understood, Chief Inspector.
40:44That's all.
41:00That's all.
41:14Step four when taking care of another hat.
41:16Matt to the hall the hall the hall the hall.
41:19No Babe who breathsned.
41:20No colour.
41:21Chief Inspector, colleague.
41:22No wonder should I have an answer to茶 on it.
41:25Whatever it is.
41:26They cannot nobody's 662.
41:27Meet her, friend.
41:28Tell her to www.Masadshrow.com.
41:29These are great friends.
41:30Aunt Winxjf.
41:31She's w tremendously werson.
41:32It's true, elegant hug..
41:33That plane is in court now.
41:34Looks like that she's aust agent to be ocasabbess,
41:35I can handle these now.
41:56That's no problem.
41:57I said I can handle it.
41:58Back in a sec.
41:59I think it's just us.
42:26He's away.
42:27I'm arresting you.
42:54This is my favorite sword.
42:55You don't have to see.
42:56You all right?
43:10So how long are you going to keep me in suspense?
43:14What do you mean?
43:16You were going to discuss things with Russ.
43:18Well, with that, well, the Kenyans have moved on and I didn't see any point in going into
43:24the details with Russ.
43:26I'm glad.
43:27You know, I hired you to put my mind at rest, Hetty.
43:31And now that you have, I'd like to draw a line under it.
43:34I thought that's what you'd say.
43:36Well, you know, this time I really think that Russ has turned over a new leaf.
43:40So how's that?
43:41Oh, that's really nice, Dawn.
43:46No doubt Robert will want to take me out for a slap-up meal now.
43:52We share the same philosophy, you and I.
43:55The triumph of hope over experience.
43:59Only me!
44:00Did you get one?
44:02Let me get me coat off first.
44:03Oh, come on!
44:04Eat that.
44:05All packed?
44:05Oh, more or less.
44:06I have left a few things here for now.
44:08Oh, well, collect them when you're ready.
44:09I'll get them.
44:10I'll get them.
44:11I'll get them.
44:12Oh, come on.
44:13Oh, come on.
44:14Eat it.
44:15All packed.
44:16Oh, more or less.
44:19I have left a few things here for now.
44:23Oh, well, collect them when you're ready.
44:33You seem a bit quiet.
44:39Just Robert and me again.
44:42Still my work HQ, though, isn't it?
44:45Yes, of course it is.
44:46It's not in.
44:48My piece, it's not in.
44:49Are you sure?
44:50The Joelper column's always on page five.
44:52Perhaps it's in a new position.
44:54I've looked.
44:59If we're going to have literary tantrums,
45:01it looks as though you're making a wise move.
45:03I've already said my piece to Mr. Wainthrop.
45:10Oh, what about?
45:12How you've made me feel part of the family round here.
45:19It's been our pleasure, Jeffrey.
45:24I'll always be grateful.
45:28I just hope Janet and me can prove we're doing the right thing.
45:32Oh, you don't have to prove anything to me, Jeffrey.
45:36I'd rather you were tying the knot properly.
45:41I won't pretend otherwise.
45:43But I've seen enough of you both to believe you'll make each other happy.
45:48That's the important thing.
45:50It's been held over.
45:52Held over?
45:53To a future date, sometime, never.
45:56Why?
45:57It's too controversial.
45:58Too hot for the Ackersley Echo to handle.
46:01Is that what they said?
46:03Words to that effect.
46:05They said there was a conflict between my article and the two-page advertising feature they'd
46:10sold to physical fitness clubs.
46:12Guess who won?
46:13Oh, Robert, I am sorry.
46:16Will you still get paid, Mr. Wainthrop?
46:18Of course.
46:19That's not the point.
46:20What happened to the freedom of the press?
46:22Look, if it's going to upset you so much, we'll throw the typewriter out.
46:26Leave it where it is!
46:28If they thought that article was strong, wait till they get the next one.
46:32Bravo, Robert!
46:41I've not seen him fired up like this since Ackersley Angel won the Grandstand Greyhound Cup.
46:48I'd better be off.
47:02Do you think I'll be able to come over to your place when I want a bit of peace and quiet?
47:09Bye, Mr. Wainthrop.
47:10I'm not used to there.
47:11See you, Mrs. Wainthrop.
47:32Can you hear your music?
47:39Well, let's do it.
47:40Go back to the General Assembly of the Great watches.
47:45Okay, Zeb, what?
47:46I'm going to hear it.
47:48I'm going to hear it.
47:50I keep the time of the design.
47:53I keep the time to make a music.
47:58I keep the time to make a music.
