00:00Hello, Jack.
00:20I can't have changed that much, can I?
00:23Marianne Clark.
00:25Well, well.
00:27To what do I owe the pleasure?
00:30I'm the new schoolmistress.
00:31Fully qualified.
00:32Here on merit.
00:33I never employed you.
00:35No.
00:35Well, I expect it's beneath the master of the house to bother himself with such trifles.
00:40You've made your point.
00:42Now kindly leave the premises.
00:44No, Jack.
00:45I work here.
00:46Mrs Clark!
00:47It's Marianne.
00:48Marianne!
00:49I'm telling you, there's no job for you here.
00:52Oh!
00:55Oh, Jeff!
00:56Oh, no!
00:57No!
00:58I can't let go!
01:00Oh, Fred!
01:08Hey, Antoine!
01:10I'm never darken these doors again!
01:13I could!
01:17Oh, God…
01:26Oh!
01:29Oh!
01:29Oh, my God.
01:59Oh, my God.
02:29Oh, my God.
02:43Robert, where did you find it?
02:48In the cupboard on the landing in a box marked miscellaneous.
02:51Open it, Mrs. Winfrey.
02:52I've not looked at these in years.
02:55I thought I'd do a piece for my Joe Elder, Colin, to celebrate our anniversary.
02:59Oh, aye.
03:01Courting rituals and how they've changed over 40 years.
03:04We'll help you there, won't we, Geoff?
03:06Yeah.
03:06Oh, look.
03:07Us on our honeymoon on the beach looking windswept.
03:10Oh, brother Frank and his Mabel.
03:15Mabel's outfit was a big source of worry, I remember.
03:20Oh, the Riley with the ribbons on.
03:24Cousin Ted, the proud owner.
03:27Oh.
03:27Oh, that dress.
03:30I sent it away to be dyed and made into an evening frock.
03:34Sky blue was the intention, but the place it went to burnt down in the middle of the night.
03:38Oh.
03:39But all was not entirely lost.
03:42Remember this?
03:45Oh, Robert Mivale.
03:47When's the great day?
03:48Next Friday week.
03:52Happy anniversary in advance, love.
04:09But she started work here last Friday.
04:12I think you must be mistaken.
04:14Oh, no, I'm not, I assure you.
04:16Can I help?
04:19Brannigan's the name.
04:20Jack Brannigan.
04:22Do you run this place?
04:23I do have that pleasure.
04:25Marianne Clark.
04:26I'm a mother.
04:27She started a job here last Friday.
04:30Clark.
04:32Name doesn't ring a bell.
04:33Perhaps she's one of Mrs Ashby's volunteers.
04:36Well, where would I find her?
04:38She won't be here till next Thursday, will she, Mr. E?
04:40Yes.
04:42Sorry.
04:43You'll have to excuse me now.
04:46It's your brother, Frank.
04:51He's under the weather after a virus.
04:53Wants to come for a change of air just a weekend.
04:56Not our weekend.
04:58Look, Frank, old chap.
05:00Yes, it is.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Yes.
05:06What?
05:07Frank.
05:11Lovely to see you after so long.
05:15Robert, Frank's arrived.
05:17I, uh, hope this is not an imposition.
05:21No, not at all.
05:22Come in.
05:22How's that nasty virus?
05:35Oh, all the better for seeing you again.
05:39Agency business thriving, is it?
05:41Up to our necks, as usual.
05:44Frank!
05:44How are you, lad?
05:45All the better for seeing you again.
05:47You know where your room is?
05:51Oh, right you are.
05:56Hello, young Geoffrey.
05:58How's the board treating you?
05:59Fine, thank you, Mr. Waynthrop.
06:01Robert thinks he might have brought a case with him.
06:15I saw it.
06:16Big enough for a month's stay, I reckon.
06:18A case to solve Geoffrey.
06:22And things being as slack as they are,
06:24beggars can't be choosers, so...
06:26let's be charitable.
06:29You had a what?
06:30An affair?
06:34Call it a passing fancy.
06:37But...
06:37but when was this?
06:4061?
06:41You weren't long married to Mabel.
06:43Well, she never suspected,
06:44and I'd sooner Hettie didn't know the ins and outs of it like.
06:48Did I ever meet her?
06:50What was her name?
06:51Violet...
06:51No, you never met her.
06:52Violet Ward.
06:54Widow now.
06:55You old dog.
06:58And you kept in touch all these years?
07:00Well, only Christmas cards and such alike.
07:02Look, Robbie, don't...
07:03don't chastise me.
07:04I've come clean, haven't I?
07:07Right.
07:09Right, carry on.
07:10Oh, right, yeah.
07:11Well, I received this letter three days ago.
07:13She had no one else to turn to, you see.
07:15Violet was a friend of Mabel's.
07:26Oh, very good friend.
07:27Of the whole family.
07:30Her husband, Dermot,
07:32no longer with us, alas.
07:35Splendid chap.
07:36He were a dab hand at those model ships you put into bottles.
07:39Can you get to the point, Frank?
07:42Oh, yes.
07:42Yes, of course.
07:43Yes.
07:43Well, it's her daughter, Marianne.
07:46She's gone missing.
07:48Last seen leaving this, um, heritage museum Friday in some distress.
07:55And you or Violet want us to find her?
07:58Well, if you're not too busy,
08:00naturally I will contribute to costs.
08:03She could be in somewhat straightened circumstances,
08:06if you get what I mean.
08:09I think we do, Frank.
08:11I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.
08:14Right.
08:15It being family, so to speak.
08:24Hello, Frank.
08:27Yes.
08:30Violet?
08:31This is Hetty Waynthrop, the detective.
08:34How do you do?
08:35How do you do?
08:36My brother, Robert.
08:37Hello.
08:37How do you do?
08:38And this is young Geoffrey, her assistant.
08:40Partner.
08:41How do you do?
08:43This is very good of you, Mrs. Waynthrop.
08:46Robert.
08:48Frank's told me about you
08:50and how he's helped you out from time to time.
08:54We shall do our best, Mrs. Ward.
08:58Shall we go in?
08:59Yes.
08:59I've got a key.
09:01No, thank you, Frank.
09:04Just stay with Robert.
09:05Well, I'm sure Violet would prefer me to request.
09:07Hetty's right.
09:08Come on, old chap.
09:09Come on.
09:18Has she bought the flat or rented it?
09:22Rented on a short lease.
09:24She was living in Blackpool.
09:26So it was the job at the museum that brought her back?
09:30Well, so I thought.
09:33But when I asked them,
09:34they said she had no permanent job there at all.
09:38They do have a regular staff,
09:40but she must have been one of the volunteers
09:42they bring in at weekends.
09:44And she was definitely there on Friday?
09:47Yes.
09:48She was seen there.
09:59Apparently, they revive the past in costume
10:03and Marianne had gone as the schoolteacher.
10:05Only there'd been an argument with the man who runs the place
10:09and she'd left.
10:11Who told you this?
10:12The lady who runs the bookshop.
10:14Only the man came in while I was there
10:17and he denied all knowledge of Marianne.
10:20What was his name?
10:22Branigan.
10:22Did the lady in the bookshop have any idea
10:28what the row was about?
10:30No.
10:31But she said that Marianne had left the museum in tears.
10:35What time was this, Mrs. Ward?
10:37Just after they closed, I think.
10:40Marianne was due to come to me for lunch the next day
10:43and when she didn't arrive,
10:45I phoned and phoned
10:46and finally I came round here
10:50about seven o'clock
10:51to see if she was all right
10:52and found the place
10:54just as you see it now.
10:56Bathroom.
10:58And she'd given you a spare key?
11:02Yes.
11:03I'd asked for one.
11:05I said she really must change those curtains
11:07and I'd do it for her.
11:10She's never been much of a homemaker.
11:16Does she live alone?
11:32Oh yes.
11:33Quite alone.
11:35She's right off men these days.
11:39Toothbrush.
11:40Washing things.
11:44Was she ever married?
11:45Yes.
11:47But he's long gone from the scene.
11:49He's got another family in Cheshire somewhere.
11:53She's always had an eye for smart clothes.
11:56Well she had to
11:57being a qualified accountant.
12:01But things haven't been going well for her
12:03for some time now.
12:05Where's that?
12:07Well
12:07it stems back to her leaving
12:10Blainthorpe Council four years ago.
12:12She never did tell me
12:14the precise reasons.
12:16Was she dismissed?
12:18Well as I say Mrs. Wainthorpe
12:20she wouldn't go into it.
12:23She was always secretive.
12:25Even as a child.
12:26And you'd expect her
12:28to have been in touch
12:29on this occasion.
12:30Well yes.
12:31I'm a mother
12:32aren't I?
12:33I'm sorry.
12:38I'm just a bit upset by it all.
12:48Last Fridays
12:49there's no milk or papers
12:51on the doorstep
12:52so
12:52she doesn't have deliveries.
12:55Well somebody comes by each day
12:56and picks them up.
12:57There's fresh food
13:01for that fellow
13:02in the kitchen.
13:03Have you been coming in?
13:05No.
13:06Oh no.
13:07I'm allergic to cats.
13:09It must be a neighbour.
13:12Well
13:13that's all I need
13:16here for the present.
13:17Oh
13:18a recent photo
13:19would be useful.
13:20Oh yes.
13:21Frank said
13:22you'd want that.
13:24And that's the best
13:25I can do I'm afraid.
13:26It was taken a year
13:27back in Blackpool.
13:29Her hair's short now
13:30and she's a redhead.
13:35I found her address book.
13:37Shall I bring it?
13:39Not for the moment
13:40thank you Jeffrey.
13:45I think
13:46we can be fairly certain
13:48that she hasn't been back.
13:50But where can she have gone?
13:52Shouldn't we call the police?
13:54Leave that with me.
13:56Are you all right Violet?
13:58Yes.
13:59It was just
14:00seeing the flat
14:02untouched
14:03since I went in last.
14:05Oh well there
14:05there now.
14:07I'll take you home.
14:08Thank you Frank.
14:10That's very kind of you.
14:13We shall be in touch
14:14very soon
14:15Mrs. Ward.
14:19Robert
14:20ask round the neighbours
14:21and see what they know
14:22of Mrs. Marianne Clark
14:24and who comes in
14:25to feed the cat
14:26and the fish.
14:27Right.
14:28What are you going to do?
14:29Geoffrey and I
14:30are going to find out
14:31about our
14:32cultural heritage.
14:33If she wasn't certain
14:47she had the job
14:48why did she take home
14:49the flat?
14:50Yes.
14:51And where does she stand
14:52with a mother
14:53who can change her curtains
14:54but can't share
14:55her confidence?
14:59She came out
14:59from there in tears.
15:01But was she still
15:02wearing her costume?
15:05Then where did she go?
15:10Either that way
15:11down the towpath
15:12or she could have
15:16gone back into town
15:17caught a bus
15:19or she had someone
15:21waiting to pick her up.
15:23A friend
15:24or a stranger.
15:28Come on
15:33the museum.
15:34Declaring our interest.
15:36Not yet Geoffrey
15:37just showing
15:38our interest.
15:46Save her for later.
15:47This must take you back.
16:10Just as far as
16:11last Friday
16:12cheeky.
16:14Scene of the argument
16:15isn't he?
16:16According to one witness
16:18anyway.
16:22Isn't it wonderful Geoffrey?
16:25Authentic
16:25to the last detail.
16:27I do admire
16:27people who devote
16:28their lives
16:29to these places.
16:31We do our best
16:32to get things right.
16:33Oh
16:34are you the curator?
16:35No
16:36I manage
16:37the enterprise.
16:41I came as a favour
16:42after the council
16:43washed their hands a bit.
16:45I mean no disrespect
16:46to the trust
16:47but they did their best
16:48with very little funding.
16:50In a year's time
16:51I plan to have us
16:52running and thriving
16:53as a commercial enterprise.
16:55And you all wear
16:56costume I gather?
16:57My permanent staff do.
16:59Sometimes we bring in
17:00one or two helpers.
17:02We have special evenings
17:03when the public dress up.
17:05There's one next week.
17:07Victorian criminals
17:08and custodians.
17:10They prove very popular.
17:11Well thank you for your time
17:14Mr Branigan.
17:14Very enjoyable.
17:16And you have two
17:17willing helpers in us
17:19doesn't it Geoffrey?
17:21Definitely.
17:22Good.
17:23Splendid.
17:24I'll introduce you
17:25to Mrs Ashby
17:26from the trust.
17:27She deals with
17:28this side of things.
17:28Have you found her?
17:42Oh give us a chance
17:43Frank.
17:44What did you gather
17:45from the neighbours?
17:46She's like Greta Garbo
17:47if nobody ever sees her.
17:48I could do a surveillance
17:49job for who comes
17:50by to feed the cat.
17:51Yes it might come
17:53to that.
17:53Thank you Frank
17:54but we're exploring
17:55other avenues at present.
17:57One for each of us.
18:13Miss Tweed?
18:15Yes.
18:16I'd like to introduce
18:17myself.
18:18Hetty Wainthrop.
18:19I'm going to be
18:20the new schoolmistress.
18:21Oh.
18:22Hello.
18:24I'm quite nervous.
18:26I hope I'll be alright.
18:27I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
18:30I believe there was
18:31a bit of a rumpus
18:32up in the classroom
18:33with my predecessor.
18:39There was.
18:40She struck Mr Branigan
18:42and made him bleed.
18:43He had to go to casualty.
18:45But you won't tell him
18:46I told you will you?
18:47I'll be for the high jump
18:48I would.
18:49Why would that be?
18:50You'll get to know
18:51if you stay long enough.
18:53It was something private
18:55between her
18:56and Mr Branigan.
18:57I didn't inquire further.
18:59Why do you want to know?
19:02She's disappeared.
19:04What?
19:05I'm a private detective
19:07Mrs Ashby.
19:08This is my partner
19:09Mr Shawcross.
19:11Oh.
19:13Well does Jack know
19:14he's under investigation?
19:15He soon will
19:16if we have to get
19:17the police involved.
19:18As it stands
19:19he and Miss Tweed
19:20were the last people
19:21to see her.
19:23Well I'll help you
19:25all I can of course
19:26but I...
19:27When Mrs Clark
19:27came for the job
19:28did she say
19:29that she knew
19:30Mr Branigan?
19:30No.
19:32She seemed rather tense.
19:34She was looking
19:35for full time employment
19:36and we simply
19:37haven't the funds
19:38even though the place
19:39is booming.
19:41And that's all down
19:41to Jack
19:42and his marvellous ideas.
19:44We're all very thrilled
19:45with him at the trust.
19:46Is he married?
19:47Yes.
19:48No.
19:48His wife has left him
19:50I believe.
19:52Is this important?
19:53It all helps
19:54when you're solving
19:54a mystery
19:55Mrs Ashby.
20:02His daughter?
20:04It's the nose
20:05the set of the eyes.
20:09I mean
20:09we don't need
20:10to make a meal of it.
20:12Well we're sharp then.
20:14Right.
20:14But it would
20:17make her family.
20:22So to speak.
20:24We only act
20:25if the absentee
20:25is vulnerable
20:26Mrs Wainthrop.
20:27That means children
20:28or if a crime
20:28is suspected.
20:30And Jack Branigan
20:30if he kicked her out
20:31it's hardly likely
20:33he chased after
20:33and dumped her
20:34in the canal
20:34is it?
20:35No.
20:37Thank you
20:37Chief Inspector.
20:39I'll
20:39hang on to this.
20:42She's a redhead now.
20:44And how can I find
20:46the names of
20:46Blainthorpe officers
20:47and councillors
20:48four years ago?
20:52Director of Finance
20:53Personnel and Strategy
20:54Branigan
20:55John
20:56Assistant Finance Director
20:58Clark
20:59Marianne
21:00Yes.
21:01Of course.
21:04So
21:04an affair you reckon
21:06wronged woman
21:06type of thing.
21:07Oh there are other ways
21:08a woman can be wronged
21:09in business Geoffrey
21:10but it can be that.
21:12You try the canteen
21:13I'll see you
21:15in half an hour.
21:18Marian Clark
21:19left with a great deal
21:20of ill feelings.
21:22She was forced out.
21:23It must have been known
21:25round the office.
21:26Not by me.
21:28I was quite junior
21:29then
21:29making my way
21:30up the ladder.
21:31Right to the top.
21:33Yes.
21:36It was most likely
21:38a redundancy matter
21:40with Mrs Clark.
21:41That or a
21:42restructuring of
21:43departments
21:43which didn't suit her.
21:45Or was it
21:46harassment?
21:47What harassment?
21:49Sexual you mean?
21:51If it was that
21:52she obviously
21:52didn't have a case
21:53or she'd have gone
21:54bleating to a tribunal.
21:56Is that how you see it?
21:59When did Mr Branigan
22:00leave?
22:01Two years ago.
22:02Under what circumstances?
22:04Well the usual ones
22:05I imagine.
22:06He'd served his time.
22:08He wanted a change
22:09of direction.
22:10Running a heritage museum.
22:12Bit of a come down
22:13after this fine job.
22:15Look
22:16what are you implying
22:17Mrs Wainthrop?
22:19That this department
22:20is riddled with
22:21Not under your direction
22:23I'm sure
22:24Mr Humphreys.
22:25You would have
22:26weeded it out.
22:27I'm speaking
22:28of your predecessor.
22:30I can't answer
22:31for him.
22:32Why should I?
22:35Ah.
22:36My meeting
22:37with the highways committee.
22:39Thank you
22:39Miss Broderick.
22:41I'm sorry
22:41as you see
22:42I'm very busy
22:42Mrs Wainthrop.
22:45I find this
22:46all very distasteful
22:47and I can't
22:48help you further.
22:51Then I shan't
22:53detain you.
22:54That little upstart
22:59in charge of finances
23:00I wouldn't want
23:02to live in Blainthorpe.
23:04Give me some good news
23:05Geoffrey.
23:06A canteen lady
23:07remembered her vaguely
23:09but thought she was
23:10dark haired then.
23:16Thank heaven
23:17for the animal kingdom.
23:18Samson and Delilah
23:24same litter
23:26that's Delilah.
23:28And Samson's
23:29owner Mr Coates?
23:31Mallyann Clark.
23:33Aye.
23:34She'd ever a kindly word
23:35for an old soldier.
23:37Have you seen her lately?
23:39Why would that
23:40be of interest?
23:43She's not at home
23:44at present
23:44and we're a bit
23:46concerned for Samson.
23:47Although he seems
23:48to be fed
23:49and well cared for.
23:50Right.
23:51So he is.
23:52It wouldn't be you
23:53looking after him.
23:57It's only a short
23:58bike ride
23:59after me shift
23:59and I've got rewarded
24:01for me pains.
24:04Oh very nice.
24:05When did that arrive?
24:07Two days ago.
24:08Unsigned
24:09but it were from her
24:10all right.
24:11She knows my favourite.
24:13And what day
24:13did she drop by
24:15and ask you
24:15to feed the cat?
24:16Last Thursday
24:17or was it Friday?
24:21One or the other.
24:26Premeditated.
24:28Thursday or Friday
24:30before she took on
24:32Mr Branigan.
24:33Then she goes out
24:34and kills herself.
24:35Oh she fakes it
24:36to give him
24:37a nasty fright.
24:39She provokes him
24:39and disappears
24:41telling nobody.
24:43He's the last to see her.
24:45The finger
24:46would point at him.
24:48Yes.
24:49But how long
24:49can she keep this up?
24:50What about her mother?
24:51She wouldn't let us
24:52suffer like this.
24:53Wouldn't she?
24:57Did you get
24:57that cheese label?
24:58Good lad.
25:14Hello.
25:16I'm Durbin.
25:16Yes.
25:17What is it?
25:17It's about some cheese
25:18you sent
25:19to a Mr Albert Coates
25:20car park attendant
25:22at the town hall.
25:23I need to know
25:24who ordered it
25:25and the exact day.
25:27Was it a
25:27Mrs Marianne Clark?
25:30I've no idea
25:30and I can't get
25:31my ledgers out now.
25:32I'm busy.
25:32A woman's life
25:33could depend on it.
25:34On a piece of cheese?
25:36Stop wasting my time.
25:37He's waiting in the parlour.
25:55Come in.
25:58Sit down.
26:02We shan't be disturbed.
26:04I know who you are
26:08Mrs. Wainthrop.
26:09I expect you do
26:10by now.
26:12Would you mind
26:13not standing
26:13in front of the fireplace?
26:15It reminds me
26:15of my grandfather.
26:17Very fierce he was.
26:19The little ones
26:19had run a mile from him.
26:22All right.
26:28Now speak your business
26:29before I send you packing.
26:31As you did
26:32Marianne Clark.
26:34Weren't you old friends?
26:36Or colleagues anyway?
26:39Four years ago
26:40in the Blainthorpe
26:41Borough Finance Department.
26:44And yet you told her mother
26:45you didn't know her.
26:46I wanted to spare her
26:48the truth.
26:50Mrs Clark wasn't
26:51very good at her job.
26:52And on top of that
26:53she developed
26:55a fixation for me
26:56which I was unable
26:57to reciprocate.
26:58So she was dismissed
27:00from her job
27:00for incompetence?
27:02kinder than sexual harassment.
27:06Her contract
27:07was terminated, yes.
27:08Then you hear nothing
27:09from her
27:09until she turns up
27:11out of the blue
27:12last Friday.
27:13I'm sure you have
27:14great appeal
27:14for the ladies
27:15Mr. Branigan.
27:17But four years
27:18does seem a long time
27:20for a woman
27:20to harbour
27:21an unrequited passion.
27:23It happens.
27:23You drove this unhappy lady
27:26out into a cold
27:28wet evening.
27:29She attacked me
27:30in the classroom.
27:31What was I supposed
27:32to do?
27:33Kiss her on both cheeks?
27:34And now she's vanished
27:35off the face
27:36of the earth.
27:37That can't be held
27:38at my door.
27:39I told you
27:40the woman was unstable.
27:42Now I've had
27:42enough of this.
27:43I'm going Mr. Branigan.
27:45I've got what I came for.
27:47What might that be?
27:48Your side of the story.
27:49I love Lorne
27:54for that ogre.
27:55Never.
27:58But why did she
27:59attack him?
28:00She could have been
28:01fighting off his advances.
28:04I don't see that either.
28:08What happened
28:09with the cheese merchant?
28:10I got an earful
28:11and then he hung up.
28:16She's out there
28:17somewhere, Geoffrey.
28:19hiding or being hidden.
28:24Let's hope it's no worse.
28:28We must start
28:29on that address book.
28:32We'll need the key
28:33of our flat.
28:34Albert Coates.
28:35We can save him
28:36a bike ride.
28:38Come on then.
28:42Mrs. Alwyn.
28:44I'm trying to get hold
28:45of Marianne Clark.
28:48She isn't by any chance.
28:49No.
28:53Right.
28:54Bye.
28:57This will cost us a bomb.
29:02Annie.
29:04Hi, it's Geoff.
29:06Friend of Marianne's.
29:07Yes, Marianne Clark.
29:09Hello, my name's Mr. Shawcross.
29:14I'm trying to trace
29:15Mrs. Burton.
29:17Is Marianne...
29:18Hello, it's the surgery here.
29:20She hasn't picked up
29:21her prescription.
29:22She's won the lottery.
29:27And that's only up to D.
29:29Michael Glebe House Farm.
29:38Michael Durbin.
29:40Albert's Cheese.
29:42There's no point
29:43trying him again.
29:44No, just Michael.
29:48Under the D's.
29:49And no surname.
29:52Bit familiar
29:53for a cheese merchant.
29:54So, we're customers, right?
30:15Who for?
30:17Scully.
30:18Your old garage boss?
30:19No, his new wine bar.
30:20He's calling it Rick's
30:21after the film Casablanca.
30:22Grand Openings Friday.
30:25About time, too.
30:31What?
30:31No chiller boxes.
30:33Typical.
30:34Typical.
30:35All right, load them in.
30:36Mr. Durbin.
30:37There's no time to waste.
30:38Come on, these truckles
30:38were ready for moving hours ago.
30:42Ask him who they're for.
30:43OK.
30:44Have you got an invoice
30:45for these, Mr. Durbin?
30:46What?
30:47We need to sign for them.
30:48Yeah.
30:48Now, listen here, young lady.
30:49You can tell that boss of yours
30:51that if he keeps me waiting,
30:52he can wait for my invoice.
30:54I'll put it in the post
30:55and tell him
30:55either he sends
30:56a refrigerated vehicle
30:57next time
30:57or I do without his custom.
30:59I've got my good name
31:00to preserve
31:00as well as these beauties.
31:02Go on, off you go.
31:02I've got to get back
31:03to my smokers.
31:04And drive carefully.
31:06I don't want them
31:06rolling about.
31:10Why didn't you ask him outright?
31:12I couldn't risk it.
31:13Not without Mrs. Wainthrop.
31:14In the meantime,
31:15we've nicked his cheese.
31:16What are we going to do with it?
31:18Sell it to Scully.
31:20No, we'll get it back to him.
31:22Oh, by the way,
31:23Scully wants some bodies
31:24tomorrow night
31:25for a photo call
31:26at the wine bar.
31:27Six o'clock,
31:27don't be late.
31:30Hey,
31:30isn't this air
31:31coming towards us?
31:37Get back afterwards, Jeff!
31:38No!
31:38Mr. Durban?
31:51My name's
31:52Hetty Wainthrop.
31:53I'm a private detective.
31:58And this is my partner,
32:00Mr. Shawcross.
32:01What have you done
32:02with her consignment?
32:03It's quite safe,
32:04Mr. Durban.
32:06We're looking
32:07for Marianne Clark.
32:14Who's been asking for her?
32:16Our mother.
32:17She's employed me
32:18to find her.
32:23Marianne
32:23came to me
32:24as a friend in need,
32:25Mrs. Wainthrop.
32:27Last Friday night?
32:28She phoned the day before.
32:29She was obviously
32:30right on the edge.
32:32Were you afraid
32:33for her safety?
32:34Yes.
32:36We're making progress.
32:37She had a thirst
32:39outing today
32:40at the village shop.
32:44It all goes back
32:45four years,
32:46doesn't it?
32:49To her dismissal
32:51from the borough council
32:52and her treatment
32:53at the hands
32:54of a man called
32:55Branigan.
32:57A case
32:57of mental bullying,
32:59would you say?
33:00of the most insidious kind,
33:02sly and demeaning.
33:04And her colleagues
33:05knew nothing
33:06or turned a blind eye.
33:07Of course they knew,
33:08but she was a woman
33:08in a man's world,
33:09wasn't she?
33:11And she's more gumption
33:12than all of them.
33:15Marianne,
33:16these people
33:17have come to see you.
33:18I'm Hattie Wainthrop
33:22and this is...
33:24Geoffrey Shawcross.
33:27We're here to help.
33:30Yes, thank you.
33:32Mr. Durbin's
33:33just been explaining.
33:35Yes, I heard.
33:36He was doing very well.
33:38Is there anything
33:39you want to tell us?
33:40There was no
33:44personal involvement.
33:46An affair,
33:46you mean?
33:47Without devil.
33:48Oh, no.
33:50But sex discrimination,
33:52yes,
33:52in buckets.
33:53It's all right, Michael.
33:57I saw his photograph
33:58in the newspaper
34:00when I was visiting
34:02my mother at Christmas.
34:04He was parading
34:05outside his museum.
34:08They brought it
34:09all back to me.
34:10The Angler,
34:11you mean?
34:13I thought,
34:14nice place to work.
34:16Back to me on hometown.
34:18What can he do about it?
34:19Well,
34:21you know the answer.
34:23Still,
34:24I gave him
34:25so much remember me by.
34:27And now it's over?
34:30I suppose.
34:31Now you've found me, it is.
34:38You've had
34:39been a very unhappy
34:40four years.
34:42Wasted years.
34:43Catering manager
34:43in Blackpool.
34:44Half the use of her brains,
34:45half the salary,
34:46and all because of one man.
34:48Could you not have gone
34:49to a tribunal,
34:50Mrs Clark?
34:51When you've been bullied,
34:52black and blue,
34:52and had the stuffing
34:53knocked out of you?
34:53I wasn't brave enough.
34:58It's just Michael here
34:59who's helped pull me through.
35:02I've known this good
35:03last few years.
35:05We share a passion
35:06for cheeses.
35:08Nothing else,
35:09Mrs Wainthrop.
35:11I just want to see her
35:12back on her feet,
35:13which will happen
35:14provided she's left
35:15in peace for a while.
35:16We shall do that,
35:18Mr Durban.
35:21My card.
35:24If you need me
35:25for anything.
35:30And would you just
35:31phone your mother?
35:34Mrs Wainthrop.
35:38It's the Overdale Blue
35:40prize winner.
35:42No.
35:42It's on the house.
35:48My word.
35:56Come in.
36:02Look,
36:03we've got to clear
36:04this up, Frank,
36:04and I want
36:05a straight answer.
36:06What?
36:06Clear what up?
36:08Are you,
36:08or are you not,
36:10her father?
36:11What?
36:12No,
36:13of course I'm not.
36:14No.
36:16What on earth
36:16makes you think that?
36:18The way you look at her.
36:19No, no, no, no.
36:20It's her likeness
36:21to Violet at that age.
36:23The babe were toddling
36:23when Violet and I were...
36:26Well,
36:29that is a weight
36:30off me mind.
36:31Oh, Robbie.
36:33But what a thing
36:34is life, eh?
36:35Mrs Ward?
36:38Yes,
36:38we've found Marianne.
36:40Safe and sound.
36:41Oh,
36:42hasn't she phoned you?
36:46Well,
36:47I'm sure she will
36:48when she's ready.
36:49She's staying
36:50with an old friend
36:51who makes cheeses.
36:53And delicious,
36:54they are too.
36:55Here's Frank.
36:59Violet?
37:01Yeah?
37:01Try some.
37:04Not just at the moment,
37:06Robert.
37:08She's not phoned
37:09her mother.
37:11I just hope
37:12we haven't upset her.
37:18Excuse me, gentlemen.
37:19Keep smiling, Cindy.
37:20Come on, Jack.
37:22Quit posing
37:23and start posing.
37:24I'm trying to phone
37:25someone,
37:25Mr Scully.
37:28Put your arm
37:29round him, Cindy.
37:31Look as though
37:31you mean it,
37:32you two...
37:32This is the football
37:33you promised,
37:34is it, Dad?
37:35Yeah,
37:35David Beckham.
37:36Dream on, kid.
37:37I once played
37:38with Paul Sculls,
37:39under-15s,
37:41skinned him alive.
37:42Yeah?
37:43Let's see
37:43on your thighs,
37:44then.
37:44Steady, steady.
37:56So,
37:57modelling career
37:57in Manchester.
37:59What's up?
38:00Fashion,
38:01conference work.
38:03What are you doing
38:04at the moment?
38:04Tonight.
38:06No.
38:07I meant job.
38:09Kitagram.
38:11I've always wondered
38:12about them.
38:13What do you get
38:14for your money?
38:15I'll show you.
38:21Oh.
38:24If you're gonna do it,
38:25you might show
38:25some taste.
38:27What's wrong
38:28with Cindy Scully?
38:29Ask all the men
38:29in Manchester.
38:31Look,
38:32I was waiting for you.
38:34You never showed.
38:35Oh, I showed up,
38:36all right,
38:36and I saw you.
38:37You saw nothing.
38:38I'm off to bed.
38:39No, you're not, Jeff.
38:39Right,
38:40let's decide finally.
38:42Are we serious,
38:42or aren't we?
38:43Of course we are.
38:44I'm living here.
38:45Yeah,
38:45in my flat.
38:46You think that's a commitment?
38:48It's not your flat,
38:49it's ours.
38:50I'm paying my way.
38:51I'm doing the place up for you.
38:53I do the shopping,
38:54the cooking most nights.
38:55I am working my socks off for us.
38:57I've got ten-hour shifts
38:58and night classes.
38:59That's commitment.
39:00Yeah,
39:01to being a transport manager.
39:02What does that hold
39:03for our future?
39:04Oh,
39:04that's our problem,
39:05is it?
39:05Well,
39:06who's going to pay the bills?
39:07Your line of work
39:08isn't exactly gold-plated.
39:09Look,
39:10you want security,
39:11marry a hairdresser.
39:13What are you doing?
39:14What have you lost?
39:16My mobile.
39:17Must have left it
39:18in the wine bar.
39:18Well,
39:19I'm sure she's
39:19keeping it warm for you.
39:22Come with me
39:22if you don't trust me.
39:23Right,
39:24I will.
39:25Right then.
39:26What are we waiting for?
39:28Oh,
39:28get it yourself.
39:31And don't bother
39:31to wake me
39:32when you get back!
39:43Have a word with him.
39:44Man to man.
39:47I'll lock up.
39:51Why interrupt it?
39:53Michael?
39:56No,
39:56it isn't too late.
40:00What?
40:01She's gone.
40:03But she's left us a clue.
40:07And this is where
40:07you expect to find her?
40:09So what's the problem?
40:11Marianne's not recovered.
40:13She's still very angry.
40:15I'm afraid
40:15she might do something stupid.
40:18Mrs. Wainthrop,
40:18I can't spare men
40:19on a Friday night
40:20to go parading
40:21in fancy dress
40:22on that kind of hunch.
40:23Then we shall have
40:24to try to stop her
40:25on our own.
40:26All right.
40:28I will try
40:28and get someone along
40:29at some point in the evening.
40:31But how will he recognize you?
40:33I thought we were Sweeney Todd
40:48and Mrs. Lovett.
40:51This is how we spend
40:52our anniversary.
40:53Where better, Robert,
40:55conjuring up the past.
40:57Keep your eyes skinned.
40:58Yes.
40:59Hello, Mrs. Wolfe.
41:01I've just seen
41:02three Jack the Rippers.
41:03Shall I arrest them?
41:05Evening all.
41:11That's him over there.
41:13Bill Sykes, is he?
41:15Very appropriate.
41:16So are we looking
41:19for Nancy?
41:20No, no.
41:22He murdered her.
41:24You're Oliver Reed
41:25in the film.
41:31Mr. Durban.
41:33Any sign of her?
41:34Not yet.
41:35She may be waiting
41:36for the light to go.
41:46I've got a hard day tomorrow.
41:49How long do we have
41:50to do this?
41:51So you've got it
41:51to my satisfaction?
41:54Didn't Boots
41:54ever stand up
41:55for a poor Skibby?
41:57Right.
42:00You're not being fair,
42:01Mrs. Ashby.
42:02She's done it
42:02to my satisfaction.
42:04What?
42:05Come here,
42:05I'll box your ears.
42:07I don't care,
42:07she's my intended.
42:09He hasn't even
42:09proposed yet.
42:10Oh.
42:16Marry me, Janet,
42:20and share
42:21all my worldly goods.
42:22Together we'll find
42:23a place in this
42:24rotten world.
42:24Well,
42:25bless me, Bunyons.
42:28A pledge
42:28of my eternal devotion.
42:31Well,
42:32you do know
42:32the way
42:33to a girl's hard boots.
42:35I'll have to
42:35think about it.
42:36Oh.
42:37Say yes.
42:38I've thought about it.
42:40Yeah,
42:40I'll marry you.
42:41Yeah.
42:42Yay!
42:43Yay!
42:46I told you
42:54to stay away.
42:56I'm not here
42:57as a member
42:57of your staff,
42:58Mr. Branigan.
42:59The mayor and his party,
43:00Mr. Branigan.
43:01They want to look
43:01in the mill.
43:02Right.
43:03Thank you,
43:03Miss Tweed.
43:06Let's follow on.
43:08I have a feeling
43:09that where Branigan is,
43:10Marianne won't be
43:11far away.
43:11Yay!
43:16Now,
43:24this activated
43:25380 weaving loons.
43:29So you can imagine
43:31that...
43:31The cotton was
43:46shipped over
43:47from America
43:48to be processed
43:49in our mills.
43:51Now,
43:51from the docks
43:52in Liverpool,
43:53it went down
43:53the Manchester
43:54ship canal...
43:55Don't listen
43:55to this man.
43:56He's a devil.
43:59Marianne!
44:00Jack Branigan
44:02hounded me
44:03out of Blanethop
44:04Borough Finance
44:04Department
44:05because he resented
44:06my being a woman.
44:08Everything I did
44:09he undermined.
44:10He cost me
44:11four years
44:12of my life.
44:14And he should be
44:14made to pay for it.
44:16Get this woman
44:17away from me!
44:18Oh, come on, Jack.
44:19Me and how many others
44:20did you ruin
44:20with your nasty
44:21bullying tricks?
44:22Ah!
44:26I can't sleep!
44:27No!
44:38Chapman,
44:38from the Echo.
44:39Do you want to tell
44:40me what this is all
44:40about?
44:41Yes!
44:42A pleasure.
44:46Ah!
44:47Ah!
44:59Thank you, Sergeant.
45:02I haven't been devoted yet.
45:04Who would have thought that bronze life-saving award
45:06would have come in handy?
45:07Well done.
45:09I hope you're not going to charge her.
45:11It was just high spirits.
45:13That'll depend on him, I'm afraid.
45:17I don't think he will somehow.
45:21She could still bring a case against him.
45:23Janet's right.
45:24She could be in for substantial damages.
45:27No, Robert.
45:29Let's hope it's finally out of her system.
45:47Ladies and gentlemen, voila!
45:51One day late.
45:53Who's counting?
45:54Happy anniversary, love.
45:55Happy anniversary.
45:56Happy anniversary.
45:58Who's counting?
46:00Happy anniversary, love.
46:01Oh, happy anniversary.
46:02Happy anniversary.
46:07Violet, love, does this inspire us?
46:10Oh, I don't think so, Frank.
46:12Not with me up here and you in Western Supermare.
46:16Well, that could change, Violet.
46:19No.
46:20Oh?
46:21Is everything satisfactory, my friend?
46:23Oh, the whole ambience.
46:25Very much to our liking, Mr Scully.
46:27Something in town at last for the older ones.
46:31Somebody should tell him.
46:35It wasn't Lauren Bacall in Casablanca.
46:37It was Ingrid Burgoy, wasn't it?
46:40Oh, he wants to be one for us, Eddie.
46:42What shall it be, eh?
46:43Oh.
46:44Erm, it had better be as time goes by.
46:48I don't think he knows another one.
46:49Oh, of course.
46:54Now, you two.
46:55Well, I was proposed to you last night.
46:58A pledge of eternal devotion.
47:01Oh.
47:02Oh, Geoffrey.
47:03That was nothing serious.
47:05That was just for the punters, like.
47:07Wasn't it?
47:10Yeah, a joke.
47:11Of course it was.
47:14Marriage is like a quality cheese.
47:16Take cheddar, for example.
47:18Taste it when it's young and it's nothing.
47:20Wait until it ripens,
47:22and then it'll tickle your taste buds.
47:28Do you think we should get married?
47:31Do you want to get married?
47:33Not now, Geoff.
47:34Just leave it.
47:36In my opinion,
47:37marriage is like a vintage wine.
47:39Wouldn't you say so, Robert?
47:40I would.
47:41Best left to mature.
47:43Cheers.
47:44Cheers.
47:45Cheers.
47:46Cheers.
47:47Cheers.
47:48Cheers.
47:49Cheers.
