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.

47:50Cheers.

47:51Cheers.

47:52Cheers.

47:53Cheers.

47:54Cheers.

47:55Cheers.

47:56Cheers.

47:57Cheers.

47:58Cheers.

47:59Cheers.

48:00Cheers.

48:01Cheers.

48:02Cheers.

48:03Cheers.

48:04Cheers.

48:05Cheers.

48:06Cheers.

48:07Cheers.

48:08Cheers.

48:09Cheers.

48:10Cheers.

48:11Cheers.

48:12Cheers.

48:13Cheers.

48:14Cheers.
