Transcript

00:00:00Would you please leave the area straight away?

00:00:04Sir, have you got the motorbike? No sign of a rider.

00:00:06What more do we know about the hostages?

00:00:08Four bank cashiers and some old bloke who was in there already.

00:00:11Manager was at lunch.

00:00:12Any details on the weapon?

00:00:14Small calibre, maybe a revolver.

00:00:16Right, time you make contact.

00:00:20Leave it!

00:00:24I told you, stay still!

00:00:30I can't see them.

00:00:36Answer it!

00:00:37Go on, just do it!

00:00:46Hello, yes?

00:00:48Good God. Jack, is that you?

00:00:51Yes, that's right, Superintendent. I'm one of the hostages.

00:00:54If they try to come in here, I'll shoot!

00:00:58Are you all right?

00:00:59What are they saying?

00:01:00Does he know you're a policeman?

00:01:02Yes, that's right, I'm Frost.

00:01:04What are they saying?

00:01:06Mm-hmm.

00:01:07What are your demands?

00:01:08I want a car.

00:01:09I want a car and I take you with me, right?

00:01:13Yeah, I heard him.

00:01:14But what I want is for him to come out alone, without the gun, and give himself up.

00:01:19Excuse me.

00:01:21The Superintendent of Police, he would like to talk to you.

00:01:24I think it's a good idea.

00:01:25Jack!

00:01:26A few thousand pounds, that's all! We weren't going to hurt anybody!

00:01:35Why don't you talk to them? I'm sure something can be sorted out.

00:01:40It's the only way I could get it. That sort of money. I had to!

00:01:43No.

00:01:46Really?

00:01:47Why?

00:01:48Why was it so important?

00:01:50Because I look like this.

00:01:53Like a piece of lard.

00:01:56That's my nickname.

00:01:57Lardy.

00:01:58I've tried everything.

00:02:00Diets.

00:02:01Pills.

00:02:02Exercise.

00:02:03But there's this new treatment.

00:02:05It's guaranteed I had to try.

00:02:07It's bad enough with your friends.

00:02:09You've got to keep making the jokes before they do.

00:02:11And you don't even think about fancying a girl.

00:02:14It's the biggest mistake of all.

00:02:17But there's this clinic in London.

00:02:19There's a chemical that destroys fat.

00:02:22They said I'd lose half my weight in a month, just like that.

00:02:26How much does this treatment cost?

00:02:29Three thousand pounds.

00:02:31But I've seen photos of people.

00:02:34They've just changed their lives.

00:02:38What's your name, son?

00:02:40It's Keith.

00:02:42Keith.

00:02:43Look, I know what you're doing.

00:02:45Talking, listening, I know!

00:02:47But I've got to find a way out.

00:02:49Well, there's no way out, Keith.

00:02:50Because I know what's on the other side of those doors.

00:02:54Police marksmen.

00:02:56And you're an expert, are you?

00:02:59Well...

00:03:01I do know what's out there.

00:03:04As you see, I'm a copper.

00:03:07I'm a detective inspector.

00:03:09My name is Jack Frost.

00:03:14That will be the superintendent.

00:03:16Um, would you like me to talk to them?

00:03:20What will they do?

00:03:22Well...

00:03:24They'll wait until you're ready to talk.

00:03:29But if you go outside, with us and that gun,

00:03:34they'll shoot you.

00:03:36Straight through the inspector.

00:03:38They're marksmen.

00:03:40They'll miss me.

00:03:42They won't miss you.

00:03:44Come on, Keith.

00:03:46Give it up.

00:03:47You.

00:03:49Come on, Keith.

00:03:53Give it up.

00:03:54PHONE RINGS

00:04:11Superintendent.

00:04:13I have the gun.

00:04:15The lad's coming out.

00:04:24After all there, it's a ruddy...

00:04:30Replica.

00:04:32Armed Police!

00:04:34Armed Police!

00:04:36Keep looking at me.

00:04:37Do exactly as you told and you will not be harmed.

00:04:40Walk forward slowly toward me.

00:04:42Do it now.

00:04:44Keep looking at me.

00:04:46Let me see your hands.

00:04:48Keep walking slowly toward me.

00:04:50Keep looking at me.

00:04:52Face down.

00:04:53Do it!

00:04:56Keep looking toward me.

00:04:58Keep looking at me.

00:05:00Keep looking at me.

00:05:01Keep looking at me.

00:05:10Spread everything you've got and don't move a muscle, fat boy.

00:05:21Do you know Jack Frost?

00:05:23Inspector Frost?

00:05:24Sure.

00:05:26I arranged to meet him here for lunch.

00:05:28If he comes in, could you tell him?

00:05:30Well...

00:05:31Are you, er...

00:05:33Are you all right?

00:05:34Um, do you know Jack Frost?

00:05:39Inspector Frost?

00:05:40Sure.

00:05:41I arranged to meet him here for lunch.

00:05:44If he comes in, could you tell him?

00:05:55Well, are you, er, are you all right?

00:05:59Yes, no, I'm fine, sir, fine, thank you.

00:06:02It was only a replica, wasn't it?

00:06:05Yes, well, you want to know that.

00:06:08Well, I suppose Detective Superintendent Finlay's been beating your ear again, has he?

00:06:14Well, yes, Jack.

00:06:16He and I, we'd both like to know what's happening with his detective inspector, Newcomb.

00:06:21And I need details, Jack.

00:06:23Well, I believe that Newcomb planted the gun that killed D.C. Fox on the car thieves.

00:06:29Now, he says that he got the gun from Mrs. Fox after it went off by accident when she

00:06:38struggled with her husband.

00:06:40Now, of course, she denies that.

00:06:42Hmm.

00:06:43And what have you got from Rycroft and Madikani?

00:06:45Oh, well, I think they're in the clear.

00:06:47I don't believe that they're involved in the murder.

00:06:50But on balance, I think that Rycroft and Madikani didn't even know D.C. Fox.

00:06:57So it's no good Larry Finlay jumping up and down, saying he's got to interview them about

00:07:03the car thefts.

00:07:05I mean, they've been talking to the man who tried to fit them up with murder.

00:07:08I mean, what is a bunch of good lawyers going to do with that?

00:07:12Yes.

00:07:13Who?

00:07:20Well, Jack, I think you'd better look at your evidence again.

00:07:23Mrs. Madikani is in the interview room with her solicitor.

00:07:26She wants to talk to you.

00:07:28She wants to confess.

00:07:30I'm acting on my solicitor's advice.

00:07:36Right, well, I understand that you wish to make a statement regarding the death of Detective

00:07:39Constable Fox.

00:07:41No, I don't.

00:07:46Then what the hell are we doing here?

00:07:48My client wishes to make a voluntary statement concerning her involvement in the buying and

00:07:53transportation of cars.

00:07:55She is prepared to admit...

00:07:57I'm not interested in car theft.

00:07:58That's down to the regional crime squad.

00:08:01I'm investigating the death of a police officer, as you well know.

00:08:06I do note that the only questions that my client has been asked so far refer to the death

00:08:11of a Detective Constable.

00:08:13Since Mrs. Madikani knows nothing about that, I hope you don't intend to stop her making a

00:08:18statement about matters which do relate directly to her arrest.

00:08:22Well, she can do what she likes.

00:08:25As long as it doesn't involve wasting my time.

00:08:28Good morning, Mr. Frost.

00:08:36How's Christmas?

00:08:38What's this?

00:08:39He wants to make a statement.

00:08:40Mr. Mullet said you...

00:08:41Oh!

00:08:42Advice from your solicitor, is it, Rycroft?

00:08:45Oh, I've changed solicitors, Mr. Frost.

00:08:47I've got the same one as Miriam.

00:08:49It ain't cheap.

00:08:51In fact, you could probably retire on what he charges for a week's work.

00:08:54Get some of Finlay's mob over here, will you?

00:08:58And when they've taken statements from our pair of high flyers, I want to sit them at the

00:09:03table and interview them about whether scams, fit-ups and fabricated evidence is standard

00:09:11procedure in Larry Finlay's outfit.

00:09:13What are you looking at?

00:09:15Look, Mark knew this being my number two for six years.

00:09:22I mean, I was best man at his wedding.

00:09:38What did you know about Mark and Ed?

00:09:40I knew he was seeing a married woman, but he was happier than he'd been since he sped

00:09:44up with Sandra.

00:09:45I just thought, well, good for him.

00:09:47None of my business.

00:09:48I had no idea who it was.

00:09:51All right.

00:09:52Let's just take Tim Fox and Mark Newcomb, right?

00:09:56Tim Fox and Mark Newcomb.

00:09:59Tim Fox knows that his wife is, you know, going over the side.

00:10:04So he pleads with her to stay, but she's in love with this other man.

00:10:07So Tim Fox, he gets heavy, threatens her, and he knocks her about a bit.

00:10:11So much so that she's frightened that he'll get really dangerous if she does leave him.

00:10:16And she's right.

00:10:17Because as soon as she does say that she's going to go, he tries to shoot her.

00:10:22Right?

00:10:22Well.

00:10:23Mark Newcomb.

00:10:25He's in love with Helen Fox.

00:10:27They have an affair.

00:10:28And after a little while, she wants to jack it in.

00:10:31But the lover boy here, he can't accept that.

00:10:35And so he stalks her and he threatens her.

00:10:37But what he realizes, he realizes the only thing that's stopping him and Helen from sailing away into the sunset

00:10:44is her husband, Tim.

00:10:46Right.

00:10:47So what he's going to do, he fits Tim up.

00:10:50If Tim Fox doesn't let Helen go, he will blackmail him into letting her do it.

00:10:56It doesn't work.

00:10:59So he kills it.

00:11:00Oh.

00:11:01Right.

00:11:01So what have you got?

00:11:02You've either got Tim Fox and Helen as Babes in the Wood and Mark Newcomb as the Wicked Witch,

00:11:09or you've got Mark Newcomb as Sir Lancelot riding to rescue the Lady Helen from the Wicked Dragon, her old man.

00:11:15Which one do you buy?

00:11:19Well, until they stop sounding like fairy stories, I don't buy either of them.

00:11:23You have one message.

00:11:33You are still the most inconsiderate bastard that you're always looking back from.

00:11:39Oh, no.

00:11:40Don't bother to call me back.

00:11:44Oh.

00:11:52Yes, Shirley, I'm so sorry.

00:11:55Don't.

00:11:56I just saw it on the news.

00:11:57You are all right?

00:11:58Yes.

00:11:58Yes, I'm fine.

00:12:00Yes, absolutely.

00:12:01Now, I knew you wouldn't have had a decent Christmas dinner over the holidays.

00:12:07So here it is.

00:12:09Turkey, chestnut stuffing, all the trimmings, and a Christmas pudding.

00:12:15Just needs heating.

00:12:17You haven't eaten, have you?

00:12:19Um.

00:12:21Oh.

00:12:23Why didn't you tell me straight away?

00:12:26I don't know.

00:12:28I mean, I would have been all right if I hadn't had Larry Fiddley's Rogan Josh.

00:12:32You needn't have pretended, Jack.

00:12:33I've given up walking out in High Dungeon.

00:12:36No one ever came to drag me back.

00:12:37When we stopped seeing each other, I said a lot of things.

00:12:42Don't seem to matter very much now.

00:12:45No, most of them were true.

00:12:47I didn't give you very much back, did I?

00:12:50Oh, you gave what you gave.

00:12:52You never lied to me about that.

00:12:54I pretended I wasn't asking anything of you, but I was.

00:12:57Whatever I said then, I didn't really want to believe that the job came first.

00:13:01Hmm.

00:13:03Yes, well, the job came first.

00:13:06I wonder how many things I've screwed up in my life.

00:13:11To start with, my marriage.

00:13:15Then my wife's illness.

00:13:18Oh, come on, Jack.

00:13:19I knew you then.

00:13:20You did everything you could do for her.

00:13:22No, everything I had to.

00:13:23Not quite the same thing.

00:13:24Do you know, we got this, um, this young woman.

00:13:36She's been attached to the CID, WPC.

00:13:39She's come to teach us about computers.

00:13:44And do you know what?

00:13:46She only wants to be a detective.

00:13:49That's a reasonable ambition in a police officer.

00:13:52In a police officer, yeah, but not in a human being.

00:13:56So you're going to tell her all the things you wished you'd done

00:14:00instead of being a detective?

00:14:04It's a very short conversation.

00:14:14Inspector Frost wants to talk to you.

00:14:18Has he spoken to Helen yet?

00:14:27Has she said anything?

00:14:28Upstairs, Inspector Newcomb.

00:14:29I only did her deliveries.

00:14:44What about this money in his building society account?

00:14:46I told you we needed to get him into a corner

00:14:48to make him back off

00:14:49so Helen could leave him and get on with her life.

00:14:52Whose idea was that?

00:14:53Was that yours or hers?

00:14:54It didn't happen like that.

00:14:55We were desperate to find a way out.

00:14:57Oh, yeah.

00:14:58I'll tell you about it, shall I?

00:14:59You sat up after a harmless piece of adultery

00:15:03and you said,

00:15:04I've got an idea.

00:15:05Let's fit up your husband, shall we?

00:15:07We could get him the set.

00:15:08We might even be able to get him put away.

00:15:11It wasn't going to go that far.

00:15:13Oh, come on.

00:15:14This wasn't a way out.

00:15:16This was revenge.

00:15:19What about that money that was found in Tim Fox's car?

00:15:23That came from you, didn't you?

00:15:23No.

00:15:24Huh?

00:15:24Oh, where did it come from?

00:15:25I don't know.

00:15:26All right.

00:15:30Let's agree on one thing.

00:15:32Helen Fox was not going to leave her husband

00:15:35because she still loved him.

00:15:37And she told you that.

00:15:41She loved me.

00:15:43She couldn't stand him.

00:15:46Mr. Frost, you've got to talk to Helen again.

00:15:48Tell her it will be self-defense.

00:15:49I know when she understands that, she'll tell you.

00:15:52You just bought a mountain bike.

00:16:00Yeah.

00:16:01A Christmas present.

00:16:03What's that got to do with anything?

00:16:06I'm just about to show the interviewee some tire tracks.

00:16:11Found in Oak Park, near the scene of D.C. Fox's murder.

00:16:16You go there quite a lot, don't you?

00:16:17Once.

00:16:18With Superintendent Finlay.

00:16:20Well, you see, these tires,

00:16:24they're very similar to the tires on the bike in your garage.

00:16:27In fact, they're so similar,

00:16:28I would say they're exactly the same.

00:16:30I wasn't there.

00:16:32Is there any forensic to wear my bike in Oak Park?

00:16:34Eh?

00:16:35You bought a bike a week before the murder.

00:16:38We've got tires that match yours at the scene on the same day.

00:16:43It'll take you ten minutes to cycle from your flat

00:16:46to where these tire tracks begin at Oak Park.

00:16:49The file is getting fatter.

00:16:52Look, this doesn't make any sense.

00:16:53And all you can say to me is I was on my own.

00:16:56I didn't see anyone and I didn't speak to anyone.

00:16:59I was waiting for Helen.

00:17:00And when she came round, it was after...

00:17:03After them.

00:17:06Helen Fox said she didn't go out that day.

00:17:22I don't believe you've been back to her.

00:17:26She wouldn't lie if she knew you were trying to fit me up.

00:17:28What about this bike?

00:17:34I bought two.

00:17:35Oh, you bought two?

00:17:36Why was that?

00:17:37In case the first one got a bunch or was it?

00:17:39It was a Christmas present.

00:17:40One was for me.

00:17:41The other one was for Helen.

00:17:46All right.

00:17:47Where is this second bike?

00:17:49Jack, I gave it to him last week.

00:17:53He'll be at the house.

00:17:54Jack, talk to her.

00:17:57If she admits she shot Tim when he was trying to kill her,

00:18:00no one will put her away now.

00:18:01Make her understand that.

00:18:04Please.

00:18:29Hello.

00:18:42Bit early for Twelfth Night, isn't it?

00:18:44Oh, there's so much stuff.

00:18:47I don't know, I suppose I'm looking for things to do.

00:18:51Have you got a mountain bike?

00:18:53It's a peculiar question.

00:18:55Last time I had a bike, I was 13.

00:18:56Well, Mark Newcombe said that he gave you one as a gift at Christmas,

00:19:01a twin to the one that he bought himself.

00:19:03That's mad.

00:19:04Oh, look at this.

00:19:06Here's one for the connoisseurs.

00:19:08Swindon Town v Charlton Athletic.

00:19:12I would appreciate it, Mrs Fox,

00:19:14if you would come down to the station with me.

00:19:16I've got a few questions that I want to ask you in a more formal way,

00:19:21just to clear up any remaining confusion.

00:19:25Of course.

00:19:26I'll get my coat.

00:19:31I still think you should come, Dad.

00:19:32What's the point?

00:19:34Well, you knew him better than I did.

00:19:36I used to go fishing with him.

00:19:38I gave up fishing a long time ago.

00:19:40Great.

00:19:42Last week you sent me around to give your condolences to the Cockrofts.

00:19:45Now it's all pointless.

00:19:46Well, no one expects you to go.

00:19:47Well, I am now.

00:19:48Well, that'll be Sam.

00:19:51I don't know why you put up with that clown.

00:19:54Or does he give you the illusion of having brains yourself?

00:19:57He's got more about him than most of the losers round here.

00:19:59Yeah, you'd want that fool at your funeral, wouldn't you?

00:20:08Yeah, it's a good job you're not going, Dad.

00:20:10The shock might be too much for some people.

00:20:12I mean, a number of times they see you outside this house,

00:20:16half of them probably think you're dead already.

00:20:17A finishing touch.

00:20:39Ready, Mr Orange?

00:20:41Cool, Mr Pink.

00:20:47I'll see if I can get us a cup of tea.

00:20:52I prefer coffee.

00:20:53I don't think I could face the Denton canteen tea.

00:20:55Oh, well, of course.

00:20:57You used to work here.

00:20:58Yeah, you know what to expect.

00:21:00I think that something happens to your body if you stay here too long.

00:21:03I can't get enough of the old canteen tea.

00:21:06Couldn't we have a cup of...

00:21:07They think it was me.

00:21:08Hey, Sergeant, what do you think you're playing at?

00:21:10Let you know I've got to interview Mrs Potts.

00:21:12Sorry, sir, I was just...

00:21:13Get him back to the cells.

00:21:14Go on.

00:21:15You've got to tell him you did it.

00:21:16It's self-defense.

00:21:18You killed him, you bastard.

00:21:19Don't understand.

00:21:19Tell him!

00:21:20I told you to leave me alone.

00:21:21I love you.

00:21:22To leave us both alone.

00:21:23And you murdered him.

00:21:24Come along.

00:21:25You love me!

00:21:26If you just go in there, please, and just sit down over there.

00:21:30You did that on purpose.

00:21:32I hope it wasn't too distressing.

00:21:35There's no one in CID, sir.

00:21:38Sergeant Brady said I'd do.

00:21:39Oh, all right, come on.

00:21:40Take a chair.

00:21:40Sit down there.

00:21:44Interview with Mrs Helen Fox.

00:21:46Those present, D.I. Frost and, um...

00:21:49Constable Kavanagh.

00:21:51At 11.31 on the 30th of December, 1999.

00:21:57All right.

00:21:58I've got two versions of your husband's death.

00:22:01Yours and your boyfriend's, Mr Newcomb.

00:22:04What D.I. Newcomb says is that you and he were blackmailing Mr Fox into letting you leave him quietly.

00:22:12And if your husband, Tim, didn't agree, he'd be thrown out of the police for corruption.

00:22:18No.

00:22:19I wanted to protect my husband.

00:22:20I told you that.

00:22:21Mr Newcomb goes on to say you shot your husband in self-defense.

00:22:26Oh, that's nonsense.

00:22:27All right, we'll skip the planting of the gun during the police operation.

00:22:31Mr Newcomb admits that he did that, naturally.

00:22:34But he claims it's a gun you gave him the night your husband was shot.

00:22:39What about a gun?

00:22:48What about these his and her bikes?

00:22:51There were no bikes.

00:22:53Oh, yes, there were.

00:22:54There were, too.

00:22:55I've seen Mr Newcomb's receipt.

00:22:57I wouldn't have accepted anything from him.

00:22:59We weren't even talking by then.

00:23:00I wouldn't have accepted anything from him.

00:23:30From beginning to end.

00:23:32You've told it several times.

00:23:35You remembered it backwards.

00:23:37You never change a single word.

00:23:42I know where I was the night my husband was killed.

00:23:46I know that I was afraid of Mark Newcomb.

00:23:49Does that make me a liar?

00:23:52I'll have to consider it.

00:23:54If you did kill your husband that night, you didn't do it in self-defense.

00:24:02You did it because you planned it.

00:24:05That's not true!

00:24:06Oh, yeah.

00:24:08Yes.

00:24:08And when I pulled in D.I.

00:24:12Newcomb, oh, that's when he became expendable.

00:24:18Because, you see, the finger points at him putting the money in the car.

00:24:23Because he planted the cash in Tim's building society account.

00:24:30But the night your husband was killed, you put that thousand pounds in the car.

00:24:35I never believed the police would go this far to protect each other.

00:24:41I had an affair, yeah, but I loved my husband.

00:24:45Mark murdered him!

00:24:46Your husband's life was well insured, a lot of money.

00:24:54Is that why you did it?

00:24:56We were both insured for the same amount of money.

00:24:59If anything happened to either of us, we wanted to know the other one would be all right.

00:25:05Or was it because he wasn't a very good copper?

00:25:09I mean, he failed his sergeant's exam twice.

00:25:11Now, that's not a very easy thing to do.

00:25:14He wasn't very ambitious.

00:25:16Why are you doing this to me?

00:25:18Because it's my job, Mrs. Fox.

00:25:27All right.

00:25:28You can go home now.

00:25:30I'll arrange for someone to take you.

00:25:33Please don't bother.

00:25:36Interview only about 11.33.

00:25:46You know, Lord, the secrets of our hearts.

00:25:49Shut not your merciful ears to our prayer, but spare us.

00:25:52Lord, most holy.

00:25:54God, most mighty.

00:25:55Most holy and merciful Savior.

00:25:57Thou most worthy judge eternal.

00:26:00Sufferest not at our final hour for any pains of death to fall from thee.

00:26:05Bless the Lord, my soul.

00:26:07Lord, my God, thou art very great.

00:26:09Thou art clothed with honor and majesty.

00:26:11Who covereth thyself with light as with a garment.

00:26:14Who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain.

00:26:16Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the water.

00:26:18I'll give thanks unto the Lord.

00:26:21Call upon his name.

00:26:22Make known his deeds among the people.

00:26:24Sing unto him.

00:26:25Sing psalms unto him.

00:26:27Talk ye all of his wondrous words.

00:26:29To the cold silence of disapproval, Constable.

00:26:40You think she did it?

00:26:42I don't know.

00:26:43Maybe Newcombe did.

00:26:45I'm floundering, right?

00:26:47But what I am doing is turning up the heat to see if I can start a fire.

00:26:51It's an old CID technique.

00:26:54There's no computer program for it.

00:26:57Listen.

00:26:59She is not right.

00:27:02And Newcombe is just a little bit righter.

00:27:04Not a lot, but just a bit.

00:27:07All right, come on then.

00:27:08What do you think?

00:27:10You've got no evidence against her and she knows it.

00:27:12If she's guilty, she's not going to put her hands up just because you shout at her.

00:27:15I didn't shout at her.

00:27:16Close enough.

00:27:17All right.

00:27:18Maybe I did.

00:27:20Maybe I ought to lean on her a bit harder.

00:27:23Bully her a bit more.

00:27:25You see, what we deal with is unpleasant.

00:27:29Sometimes you have to take hold of what is unpleasant inside you and use it.

00:27:33Now, if you can't do that...

00:27:35I'm sure I could learn, sir.

00:27:37I've met my fair share of unpleasant detectives.

00:27:39Thanks.

00:27:47Ah!

00:27:47Mr. Mullins?

00:27:48Thanks.

00:27:48We're all, um,

00:28:17going to the house. I don't know if you... Ray and I, we've got to get back to

00:28:22work.

00:28:26Your family's not in Denton. Hertfordshire. But they're up in Scotland now. My sister

00:28:32lives there. You've seen them over the holidays. I can't stand all that.

00:28:35Minced pies and long walks, longer arguments. Baby's throwing up.

00:28:42Anne, the car's going. Coming Sally.

00:28:47I don't know if sometime over New Year, if you want a drink or maybe we'll...

00:28:51Let's do that. I'll see you.

00:29:02So, what was all that with Anne Moore? We're gonna have a drink. See? What did I tell you?

00:29:09That's Sally Wainwright. I could do her a favor. The way she was looking at me across

00:29:16that coffin. Positively indecent. She thought we were a couple of prats.

00:29:21Oh, Sammy, Sammy. When are you gonna learn? She just doesn't appreciate a quality product

00:29:27she sees it. I'll just have to teach her a lesson, won't I?

00:29:32sounds like a young man!

00:29:34So, what do you say?

00:29:35poor old man.

00:29:36elephant sounds like a tiny man.

00:29:37Who are you gonna be?

00:29:38She doesn't care.

00:29:39Cause I don't know.

00:29:40I don't know.

00:29:41You're too strong to me.

00:29:43I don't know.

00:29:44Yeah, honey.

00:29:45I don't know.

00:29:46You're too strong.

00:29:47I don't know.

00:29:48I'm sorry.

00:29:49I don't know.

00:29:50I don't know.

00:29:51You're too strong to me.

00:29:52It's incredible.

00:29:53You're too strong to me.

00:29:54I don't know.

00:29:55so what do you reckon

00:30:06she's not interested ray

00:30:10they're all interested

00:30:11we're collecting for mrs. cockcroft

00:30:16it's not much but people feel they want to do something

00:30:18so yeah of course

00:30:20that's very generous

00:30:44you asked me once before i said no before

00:30:46you don't want to keep an eye on anne though

00:30:48i mean when wild man goodwin gets her in the back of his car

00:30:51and that hormonal overdrive just kicks in

00:30:54it could take two responsible adults to tear them off each other

00:31:23she won't be going for that drink

00:31:31he was right

00:31:32i told you to leave it

00:31:36i said sally didn't want to go out with you

00:31:38sally wayne writes a nobody

00:31:40last year she's dishing up pig swill

00:35:27Oh, frightening.

00:35:30You're an animal, Sammy.

00:35:32Oh, my God.

00:35:41Oh, my God.

00:35:43I would like the body back.

00:35:45I know it's the sort of thing you'd probably dump or put in an incinerator, but...

00:35:48No, of course not, no.

00:35:49We'll get it back to you.

00:35:50Oh, thank you very much.

00:35:52Bye-bye.

00:35:53What was all that?

00:35:55I seem to have missed the memo saying we shouldn't give bodies back to the nearest and dearest

00:35:59unless they make a special request.

00:36:02It's her dog, sir.

00:36:03It got shot.

00:36:04Oh, yeah?

00:36:05Where?

00:36:06In her back garden, just outside Denton.

00:36:09She works at the power station.

00:36:11Oh, is it tying in with Sergeant Brady's cats, do you reckon?

00:36:15Well, it's the same area.

00:36:17Another random shooting at a pet.

00:36:21I see.

00:36:22Does that young lady have, uh, you know, any ideas?

00:36:25She assumes it's kids.

00:36:26It doesn't sound like kids to me.

00:36:31If they did, they didn't get the rifle from Father Christmas.

00:36:34I tell you what, Susan Kavanagh is making a file on all this on her computer.

00:36:40Tell her to shove the dog in.

00:36:42At least we'll have everything in a decent order.

00:36:47You know what?

00:36:47Some people are still working with microchips and information technology.

00:36:52Me?

00:36:53No, I've skipped all that.

00:36:54I'm on to the chaos theory.

00:37:11Now, that's what I'd like to see.

00:37:12A man who knows how to enjoy himself.

00:37:19What's the matter with you?

00:37:21Mullet.

00:37:22He's only landed this computer woman on me.

00:37:25And as you know, Jack, I've got my own system.

00:37:27Yes, and so has PC Kavanagh.

00:37:29Hers is ten times quicker.

00:37:31Yeah.

00:37:32Eh?

00:37:33What's happening with Newcombe?

00:37:37Oh.

00:37:38I don't know.

00:37:39It's not easy.

00:37:40It's easier for him than for Helen.

00:37:42She used to work for you, didn't she?

00:37:43Oh, yeah, great job.

00:37:44Nothing was too much trouble.

00:37:46And she didn't throw my system out the window and bring in one you need a degree to understand.

00:37:50No, I know what you mean.

00:37:51And she's still got her amnesty record into the computer HQ before any other station in the division.

00:37:59She was here during the gun amnesty?

00:38:01Yeah.

00:38:01That's why Mullet sent her to work with me.

00:38:03I was running the amnesty, but we had so much stuff in.

00:38:07All right.

00:38:08Come on.

00:38:08Come with me.

00:38:10What about my dinner?

00:38:12Come on.

00:38:12Leave it.

00:38:13Oh, this is important.

00:38:14Excuse me.

00:38:16Excuse me.

00:38:17All right.

00:38:17Jack.

00:38:18Yeah, it's several .38s in.

00:38:21What about this one?

00:38:23Hmm?

00:38:24No, it looks familiar.

00:38:25Like a short barrel .38.

00:38:27I remember thinking one of them was.

00:38:30Yeah, what about the list?

00:38:31Well, we'd had over 50 weapons in.

00:38:34Four of them were .38s.

00:38:37Now, wait a minute.

00:38:38There's only three.

00:38:40Is this one of them?

00:38:42Yeah.

00:38:44No, different serial numbers.

00:38:46In fact, different makes.

00:38:47There's two Smith and Wessons.

00:38:49No, it's not even the same specification.

00:38:51Gee, I've got a swarm there before.

00:38:55Helen Fox did this, didn't she?

00:38:57I mean, filled in the details on all the records.

00:38:59From my notes.

00:39:03If a gun went missing,

00:39:06would it be possible to wipe the details from the computer?

00:39:10By Helen?

00:39:12I don't believe it.

00:39:14Oh, Inspector Frost.

00:39:16About those dead cats and dogs.

00:39:18Yeah, well, never mind about that now.

00:39:19I've got something else I want to ask you.

00:39:23If information has been wiped from a computer,

00:39:27is there any way of getting it back?

00:39:29Well, that depends exactly what backup was being used.

00:39:32All right, this was six months ago, maybe more.

00:39:34And was the information sent to HQ?

00:39:36Well, of course it was.

00:39:37That was the whole idea.

00:39:38But this is what went up to HQ.

00:39:41Is there any way of getting back wiped information?

00:39:47If there are other versions of the files, old backups.

00:39:50I mean, it's unlikely, but there are programs.

00:39:52All right, well, there you are.

00:39:55You want to be a detective

00:39:56so you can forget all about your moggies for a minute.

00:39:59I want you to find me something that isn't there.

00:40:02There's almost no chance.

00:40:04Oh, no.

00:40:05There never is.

00:40:05That's what makes the job such a pile of challenges.

00:40:11Well, it's going to be a long haul, Miss Madikani,

00:40:37no matter how much you pay your lawyers.

00:40:38Are you a betting man, Mr. Frost?

00:40:41No, no, no.

00:40:42Wise.

00:40:43You couldn't afford to lose.

00:40:45I'll send you a postcard from Barbados.

00:40:48Oh, yeah.

00:41:08Well, there you go.

00:41:14All yours.

00:41:15Remember I told my squad I didn't want your investigation screwing up this operation?

00:41:19Well, yeah, something along those lines, sir.

00:41:21Yeah, well, now there's every chance that Madikani and Rye Cross' statements

00:41:25aren't worth the paper they're written on.

00:41:27They'll be claiming they made them under duress

00:41:29when they were being set up for murdering a copper

00:41:32to a gun planted on them by another copper.

00:41:35Well, that won't get them far, would you?

00:41:38Maybe.

00:41:39With the right lawyers.

00:41:41Tainted evidence.

00:41:43And it could taint everything else we come up with.

00:41:45You could even end up being called as a witness for the defense.

00:41:47Well, you always said it didn't smell right, didn't it?

00:41:52Yeah.

00:41:53Well, now it stinks.

00:41:55Thanks a bunch.

00:41:57It's all right.

00:41:58It wasn't me who decided that they'd killed Tim Fox.

00:42:02I was only doing the spade work.

00:42:05Like you asked me to, sir.

00:42:17I was only doing the spade work.

00:42:47So, will you be working on Millennium Night?

00:43:00Well, no, we're on standby.

00:43:02We all will.

00:43:02Well, same here.

00:43:04Yes, just in case the old Millennium Bug strikes

00:43:06and causes anarchy and chaos to the streets of Denton,

00:43:10Superintendent Mullet and I will be there to save the day.

00:43:15I guess I'm like you.

00:43:16If I wasn't on standby, I'd be volunteering.

00:43:19Oh, I know.

00:43:20So would I.

00:43:21Breaking a habit of a lifetime.

00:43:23Jack, if you could, you would move into Denton Police Station.

00:43:29Ah.

00:43:29No.

00:43:30You see, I read about this trip to India.

00:43:35Watch the Millennium Dawn over the Taj Mahal.

00:43:40£25,000.

00:43:41I was going to book it, but, you know, I was a bit late.

00:43:43Well, I thought the usual provisor's about you getting called away.

00:43:53New Year's Eve, as you've missed out on the Taj Mahal,

00:43:58I was about a tikka masala at the golden curry.

00:44:01All right, you're on.

00:44:05It's only about £24,995 quid cheaper,

00:44:09but what about the dawning over Denton?

00:44:14Oh, what did you see?

00:44:28Oh, my God.

00:44:31Oh, I've been here.

00:44:33I'm going to look into the Titanic,

00:44:35but this was really good.

00:44:37I have nothing to do with all that.

00:44:37Let's go.

00:45:07Up yours, Inspector Frost.

00:45:37So, how was it for you then?

00:45:39What about the Reziza you've got?

00:45:42I still got a pair of socks and two pounds of my RTG.

00:45:44Thanks very much, RTG.

00:45:46What was the worst Reziza?

00:45:53Rewinds that he's an Arsenal fan out, Shirley.

00:45:56How well do you know him?

00:45:58Here there, bring him until...

00:46:00Ah, I want that mountain bike, that Helen Fox, dumped.

00:46:20It's the last piece.

00:46:22It must be in a limited radius.

00:46:24Well, come on, get out the maps and the wellies.

00:46:26Let's get the team moving.

00:46:28Anybody would think this was a holiday or something?

00:46:30Forensic wonder word.

00:46:30They've got a suspicious traffic accident.

00:46:32Oh, well, you go and handle it with you, Sergeant.

00:46:34Go on, on your way back, get me a sandwich.

00:46:37Chicken.

00:46:38If you can't get chicken, get cheese.

00:46:40If you can't get cheese, just go out and buy some...

00:46:43I want that mountain bike.

00:46:45Go on.

00:46:45Oi, by the way, have you seen Susan Kavanagh?

00:46:48Not today, sir, no.

00:46:49Oh, all right.

00:46:49If you do, tell her I owe her a drink.

00:46:51How is she going to have a splash of lime in her lager?

00:46:54Go on, off you go.

00:47:02The car went out of control on Broad Street last night,

00:47:05going down the hill.

00:47:06A woman's in a coma.

00:47:08Had she been drinking?

00:47:09Apparently not.

00:47:10She was on her way to a party.

00:47:12It's an old car.

00:47:13It's not well maintained, and the brakes failed.

00:47:16But this is what struck me as odd.

00:47:19Scratches here and here.

00:47:21On the chassé.

00:47:23I think it's been tampered with.

00:47:25It looks like something's been dragged across the cables recently.

00:47:29Sharp teeth.

00:47:31Hacksaw, possibly.

00:47:33Now, the cut on this piece of cable is too clean to have happened naturally.

00:47:39I don't think this was an accident.

00:47:42You know who she was?

00:47:45Sally Wainwright, Fairview Road.

00:47:48I know her.

00:47:49She came in to see me yesterday.

00:47:53Somebody shot her dog.

00:47:55Look what's been happening around Kimmington in the last six months.

00:47:59Person or persons unknown killing cats.

00:48:03Nasty, vicious, random.

00:48:05And several burglaries.

00:48:08Not a lot taken, but a lot of damage done.

00:48:11Now, I reckon that's what it's all about.

00:48:14Next, Sally Wainwright.

00:48:16Her dog gets shot.

00:48:18Tutu bullets, same as the cats.

00:48:21Next morning she goes out.

00:48:22Someone's fiddled with the brakes.

00:48:23Car goes out of control.

00:48:24She ends up in the hospital.

00:48:25She's in a coma.

00:48:27I didn't die.

00:48:28And you think that was the intention?

00:48:30Yes.

00:48:32Sally Wainwright was targeted.

00:48:34That means there must be a motive.

00:48:36And I believe there was a motive for the rest, too.

00:48:39The damaged furniture, the cats, a lot.

00:48:44Well, you're talking about a very warped mind, Jack.

00:48:49Very warped.

00:48:50Yes, sir.

00:48:52In my experience, there's only one place with more warp factors.

00:48:56It's the Starship Enterprise.

00:48:57All right.

00:49:27Is that bastard complaining about the noise again?

00:49:34Never called you about the bloody music, haven't they?

00:49:43You bunch of losers!

00:49:47Hello.

00:49:47It's just a routine call, sir.

00:49:49Are you Mr. S. Goodwin, the holder of a license for a 2-2 rifle?

00:49:53Come on.

00:49:54It's about my gun license.

00:49:57It's here somewhere, aren't you?

00:49:59I saw it.

00:50:13Great.

00:50:22What do you use the rifle for?

00:50:25Rabbits.

00:50:25I've got a lot of them.

00:50:26No one knows why.

00:50:28I've never seen them produce a vegetable of it.

00:50:31Well, I would like to see the weapon.

00:50:33I just need to establish that it matches the serial number I've got here.

00:50:36And I may need to take it in for tests, just to eliminate it from the inquiries.

00:50:41It's like I said, I keep you at the allotment in this ship.

00:50:43That doesn't sound very secure.

00:50:45It should be here in a secure cabinet.

00:50:46But I'd like to see it.

00:50:54Now we'll be fine.

00:50:55Now we'll be fine.

00:51:05Sam will drive down and you follow, all right?

00:51:06You're not going to do him just because he doesn't keep the rifle in the flat.

00:51:10I mean, not with New Year's Eve and all that.

00:51:11I'll be right behind you.

00:51:13When you wipe a disc, the stuff's still actually on it, till more information's dumped on top.

00:51:36Well, I didn't even know you could retrieve it, but Susan used some programme or other.

00:51:41So this is the gun that killed Tim Fox?

00:51:44Serial number's here.

00:51:46And it says it came with six rounds.

00:51:49Well, the gun was in the station.

00:51:51Helen Fox had access and opportunity.

00:51:55Now we've got evidence that she wiped it off the records.

00:52:02I trusted Helen.

00:52:05Yeah, well, so did Mark Newcombe.

00:52:08So did her husband.

00:52:14Two two rifles, she said.

00:52:16They know what they're looking for.

00:52:18What are they going to prove?

00:52:20It's down in your allotment.

00:52:21Anyone could get hold of it.

00:52:24The most they can do you for is being a careless git.

00:52:32Ray.

00:52:33I didn't say about Sally's dog.

00:52:35What are you talking about?

00:52:37I said I was going to take Sally down with Peg.

00:52:40I was going to tell you.

00:52:41Like what the cats and doing over the houses when people pissed us off.

00:52:45You stupid, ignorant moron.

00:52:47It's the way Sam meditates.

00:52:59It's the way Sam meditates.

00:53:07The door did have a lock.

00:53:09I'm going to sort it out.

00:53:10A child could walk in there.

00:53:12A child could walk in there.

00:53:32Ray, what the hell are you doing?

00:53:33I'm cleaning up your mess.

00:53:34And if you don't want to join her, you'd better give me a hand and get rid of her.

00:53:42Susan here?

00:53:43No.

00:53:43She's in CID, isn't she?

00:53:46No.

00:53:47Doesn't she realise that skiving is a privilege reserved for just inspectors and those...

00:53:52She's not skiving.

00:53:54She's still working on that other job you gave her.

00:53:56What other job?

00:53:57Dead cats and dogs.

00:53:58Well, it was forensic on the bullet in the dead dog.

00:54:02She mapped licences for 2-2 rifles.

00:54:04Came up with a few dozen names and addresses.

00:54:06Right area.

00:54:09And went off to check for the licence holders.

00:54:11Where is this list?

00:54:13It'll be on her laptop.

00:54:16Well, get it printed fast.

00:54:18If we don't stop her, she could be checking up on a murderer.

00:54:28Let's go.

00:54:58I'm at work now.

00:55:03So get your fat arse in gear and be here for 11.

00:55:07You do what I bloody say, Samuel.

00:55:09Or do you want to go the same way?

00:55:28It's not your fault, Jack.

00:55:42She's done exactly what I would have done if I were in her shoes.

00:55:45She's gone out to prove that she could hack it.

00:55:48And I was the one that wound her up to it.

00:55:51What's this?

00:55:52Susan's list.

00:55:55Trouble is, there's too much information here.

00:55:58Need to filter some of it out.

00:55:59We've got every crime where a pet's even been mentioned.

00:56:02Right down to a burglary where a fish tank got broken.

00:56:04Hmm.

00:56:06What's that?

00:56:08Say that again.

00:56:09A burglar smashed some bloke's fish tank.

00:56:12I suppose the fish died.

00:56:12That's why it's on the list.

00:56:16Cockcroft.

00:56:18Hugh Cockcroft.

00:56:19Yeah, that's right.

00:56:22He had the accident at the power station.

00:56:24It was a burglary, do you remember?

00:56:26Nothing much was taken.

00:56:27Next thing we knew, he'd fallen into a hundred tons of nutty slack and broken his neck.

00:56:35Maybe the link isn't pets.

00:56:38But a power station.

00:56:42I want you to think back to the last few days that your father was alive.

00:56:46How do you mean?

00:56:48Well, you work at the power station too, you know.

00:56:51Now, was there anyone he had an upset?

00:56:57Doesn't matter how insignificant.

00:56:59Why?

00:57:00What do you think?

00:57:01Someone was behind him.

00:57:02No, look, it could be very important.

00:57:03It's just that it could be that it wasn't an accident.

00:57:06Now, don't think too much about it.

00:57:08Anything you can remember?

00:57:11Well, there was a security man, Jim Spence.

00:57:14He had a go at Dad for parking his car in the supervisor's place.

00:57:17All right.

00:57:17Yeah, go on.

00:57:19And there was Ray English and Sam Goodwin, I suppose.

00:57:21I mean, it wasn't.

00:57:24Yeah, go on.

00:57:25Well, Ray was pestering me about going out with him.

00:57:29Dad heard some remark.

00:57:31Well, you know, just the way blokes talk about girls.

00:57:34Dad told Ray to stay away from me.

00:57:37I didn't want him doing things like that.

00:57:39You know, it was embarrassing.

00:57:42Yeah.

00:57:44Sally Wainwright, did she know this English and Goodwin?

00:57:48Yeah, of course.

00:57:50She didn't like them.

00:57:51Mr. Frost, I think.

00:57:53Well, I know.

00:57:56Sam asked me out the other day.

00:57:58I was going to, but...

00:57:59Yes, go on.

00:58:03Sally said that they were trouble.

00:58:04Drugs, even.

00:58:05So I called it off.

00:58:07But Sam got really angry.

00:58:09Not with me.

00:58:11With Sally.

00:58:12The things he said about her, but...

00:58:14I can't believe he wouldn't.

00:58:17He's not funny.

00:58:37I've had dinner.

00:58:39I've had one.

00:58:40I've had dinner.

00:58:41I've had dinner.

00:58:43I'm just looking at her girl.

00:58:44You can't park there.

00:58:50It's a good wind, isn't it?

00:58:51Can you move? I'm going out.

00:58:52Going away, Moorley. Just a minute.

00:58:55My name is Frost, Detective Inspector Frost.

00:58:58That's what I want from you.

00:59:00Where is Constable Kavanaugh?

00:59:01You can't just...

00:59:02I can just do anything I like. Anything at all.

00:59:05I know all about Sally Wainwright.

00:59:07What I want to know is where is Susan Kavanaugh.

00:59:09I want to know now.

00:59:14Police, open up. It's an emergency.

00:59:26I'll need some identification.

00:59:28I'm Detective Inspector Frost, Denton's CID.

00:59:31I've got some... Look, just open up, will you?

00:59:33Why don't I phone the station?

00:59:35Look, why don't you...

00:59:36Oh, bum.

00:59:44All right, come on. Which one is it?

00:59:54Danny and on the left.

00:59:55You better be right.

01:00:02Down the stairs!

01:00:04Or I'll throw you down.

01:00:05Oh, my God.

01:00:27Bitch!

01:00:30I...

01:00:32Yeah, what's that?

01:00:42Who's that?

01:00:43I don't know.

01:00:44That's your mate.

01:00:45I couldn't see.

01:00:47That gives you one rest.

01:00:48I don't know.

01:01:12That wasn't the best way to go, Captain Paul.

01:01:35You pissed me off, you know that?

01:01:37Police!

01:01:38Give me that up, English!

01:01:42Are you all right, are you all right?

01:01:54Yeah, he knows this place like the back of his hand.

01:01:57He'll find a way out.

01:01:58He'll find a way out.

01:02:28He'll find a way out.

01:02:58He'll find a way out.

01:03:28Don't let me go!

01:03:29Don't let me go!

01:03:30Don't let me go!

01:03:32Don't let me go!

01:03:35Don't let me go!

01:03:36Don't let me go!

01:03:37Don't let me go!

01:03:38Don't let me go!

01:03:42Don't let me go. Don't let me go.

01:03:48Just hold on the camera.

01:03:49Don't let me go.

01:03:51Give me a treat.

01:03:53I want to die. Please.

01:03:56Don't let me go. Don't let me go.

01:03:59I don't want to die.

01:04:01Don't let me go.

01:04:12I'm sorry, George.

01:04:27Very sorry.

01:04:30I tried to save him.

01:04:33I just...

01:04:34I just couldn't hold on to him.

01:04:40The WPC?

01:04:42Is she all right?

01:04:43Yes.

01:04:48You better tell me the rest of it.

01:04:52Well, maybe now's not the time, eh, George?

01:04:54You said there were burglaries.

01:04:56You said Hugh Cockroft's death might not be an accident.

01:05:02Well, it's likely that Ray went up and loosened some railings.

01:05:06He knew that Cockroft went up there for a smoke.

01:05:09I'm not saying that he intended to kill him, but...

01:05:12the woman in the car.

01:05:15Is she going to pull through?

01:05:17Well, that's something.

01:05:22We've only...

01:05:24got to go on what Goodwin has told us.

01:05:28It seems that he didn't know most of what Ray was doing.

01:05:33He would say that, wouldn't he?

01:05:40George.

01:05:43George.

01:05:44These things have happened.

01:05:47And it was Ray that did them.

01:05:50It's no good trying to pretend that someone else put him up to.

01:05:53I'm pretending nothing.

01:05:56My son's dead.

01:05:58And that's the best thing to come out of this.

01:06:02I'm not asking for apology for you for not saving his life.

01:06:04If I'd have been the one holding on to him,

01:06:09I'd have let him drop.

01:06:15Didn't you ever get a sense that anything was wrong?

01:06:19You mean I should have guessed my son was barking mad?

01:06:22Until this happened, I was a policeman, not a bloody psychiatrist.

01:06:31Anyway, it doesn't matter.

01:06:33No, I don't have a son at all.

01:06:35You know, there was something wrong, wasn't there?

01:06:44All the time.

01:06:47I never realised when your legs packed up

01:06:50that you lost the use of your eyes as well.

01:06:55Because had you opened them a number of years ago,

01:07:00you wouldn't be sitting there telling me

01:07:03that you're glad your son is dead.

01:07:05I'm dead out, Jack.

01:07:26I'm still sorry I didn't save him.

01:07:35I'm still sorry.

01:07:37I'm sorry I never thought I could do this.

01:07:39I think it's okay.

01:07:39I'm still sorry, Jack.

01:07:41No, I'm sorry.

01:08:12By the way, we found your mountain bike where you dumped it.

01:08:36Mark dumped it.

01:08:38No jury is ever going to swallow that.

01:08:42Do you know that when something is wiped from a computer, most people think that that's it.

01:08:48You know, it's gone, lost forever.

01:08:52Well, that ain't necessarily so.

01:08:58We've got a record of the gun you took.

01:09:00We also know the precise time you attempted to wipe that record from the computer.

01:09:05No, I'm really all right, sir. Thank you.

01:09:29Good. I hope so, because come the new year, I'm going to learn how to capture crooks by a computer.

01:09:38And you're going to have to teach me all about your hardware.

01:09:41Software.

01:09:41There you are. You see what I mean? I don't even know my hardware from your software.

01:09:44Well, just think of it as like sex, sir. Only the other way around.

01:09:48Sex? I can't think that far back.

01:09:51With computers, you put the software into the hardware.

01:09:54Oh, I see. Yeah.

01:09:55Excuse me, sir.

01:09:57Are you still all right for that drink tomorrow?

01:09:59You bet.

01:09:59Great. Well, I've got to go. I'm on the desk.

01:10:01Right.

01:10:03Excuse me. Thank you, sir.

01:10:04Oh, not at all, no. Happy New Year.

01:10:08You're teaching her, are you?

01:10:11How to become a detective.

01:10:13Might be.

01:10:13Oh, dear, oh, dear.

01:10:17Thank you very much, sir.

01:10:19Jack, have another drink.

01:10:21Uh, what? No, I'm on standby.

01:10:22Well, I'm on duty.

01:10:24Oh, well, I can't refuse a senior officer, can I?

01:10:26Oh, well, that could be the start of a very promising new millennium resolution.

01:10:30Oh, well, you never know your luck, sir.

01:10:32Yes, well, I think I do, Jack.

01:10:34Cheers.

01:10:35Cheers.

01:10:36Cheers.

01:10:37Cheers.

01:10:38Cheers.

01:10:39Cheers.

01:10:40Cheers.

01:10:41Cheers.

01:10:42Oh, no.

01:10:46I think it's mine, Jack.

01:10:49Yes, yes, you're right.

01:10:51Superintendent Mullick wouldn't phone me until I was in the middle of the meal.

01:10:55Hello?

01:10:56Yes.

01:10:59Yes, I see.

01:11:03I'm on my way.

01:11:07There's a problem in maternity.

01:11:09There's going to be a difficult caesarean.

01:11:11I've got to go.

01:11:14Oh, Jesus, you've beaten me, too.

01:11:17Well, at least I won't starve.

01:11:20Happy New Year, Jack.

01:11:22And to you, Shirley.

01:11:23If I don't, I'll get back.

01:11:27I'll probably end up having a glass of cooking sherry with Superintendent Mullet.

01:11:33And then I'll join the first down load of Millennium Drunks of Old Lanzarne.

01:11:46Oh, well.

01:11:47It's not, won't it?

01:11:48Not.

01:11:49Not.

01:11:50Not.

01:11:51Not.

01:11:52Not.

01:11:53Not.

01:11:54Not.

01:11:55Not.

01:11:56Not.

01:11:57Not.

01:11:58Not.

01:11:59Not.

01:12:00Not.

01:12:01Not.
