Part 4 of 6 of the 1987 mystery. Thorne is angry with his wife after her interference in the case sees Roger Tindell go into hiding. And worse is to come as the hunt for his whereabouts threatens the life of his assistant. With Carl Sillman's takeover bid being referred to for investigations, John Field floats the idea to his boss Sir Max Sillman to investigate Fane & Browning, but Max is reluctant to do so, unaware that Dan Maitland is doing a little inquiries of his own via a colleague who works for them. Meanwhile Thorne visits Max's astrologer Musquat Singh, who often clashed with Charles Makepeace. Singh tells him he had a mysterious phone call by someone asking to visit him, but he never turned up. But Singh's assistant Krishna contradicts that alibi and mentions that he overheard Singh talking to a Scots man. One of them is lying - but who? And why?

00:07Banker John Field and his rival Dan Maitland, forced to work together on a big takeover bid for Dinslow Chemicals,
00:14have also quarrelled over John's long-time girlfriend, stockbroker Kate McRenney.
00:20Kate was present when John's PR tour of the Dinslow plants went wrong.
00:25John is a suspect in Thorne's murder investigation, but Thorne has also traced Mrs Alison Tyndall, who threatened the murdered man.
00:35In a conversation with Thorne's wife Millie, Mrs Tyndall apparently confesses that her son Rupert committed the murder.

06:50ORCHESTRA PLAYS
07:20Thank you, Miller. Please get the booze, would you?
07:28Welcome home, sir.
07:30Thank you, Chris.
07:31You had a nice trip.
07:32Yes, excellent. My speech to the American Astrological Union was the hit of the week.
07:37That's what the Miami Times said, anyway. Anything of importance here?
07:40Nah, just some cop. Superintendent, I think. He wants to talk to you about a murderer at Carr-Sillman.
07:45I just wondered, sir, now you're back, maybe you could start giving me some astrology lessons.
07:54Where do I have the time, Krishna?
07:57Oh, Chris. Chewing gum?
07:59Sorry. Sorry, Master.
08:02You live in my home. You've been observed. Is that not enough?
08:06Yeah, but you told my dad you were going to teach me how to do horoscopes.
08:09I am not your father's guardian angel. I think I've done enough for him already.
08:15Yeah, but you told me...
08:16All right, Chris. I'll try and find time to give you tuition.
08:21Now, perhaps you could fetch me a bite to eat.
08:23I shall be in my study, and then I shall be going on to Carr-Sillman.
08:26In his late twenties or early thirties.
08:54What's the matter?
08:58He's a spiv.
09:00What is a spiv?
09:01Oh, we had them during the war.
09:03Crooked peddlers, small-time black marketeers.
09:05You're saying this man is dishonest?
09:07I'm saying your whole character profile is incredible.
09:11You say he'll be a late starter.
09:13I'm saying he's making £100,000 per annum now.
09:17You say he's wise and responsible.
09:19I'm afraid I see him as an alcoholic and a scoundrel.
09:24You say I should make him head of my dealing room.
09:26I do not. That's for you to decide.
09:29I'm merely showing you what his horoscope reveals.
09:33Why do I listen to you?
09:34Because it focuses your thoughts.
09:39What?
09:40It provides coordinates.
09:43Space is endless.
09:44But with three intersecting planes, you can plot any position in the universe.
09:50The same with my horoscopes.
09:52They provide coordinates with which you can plot your own insights.
09:58Oh, very good.
10:00After an association going back 20 years, you now tell me that astrology is pure fantasy.
10:06No, Max.
10:07It is impure fantasy.
10:09Like the rest of science.
10:10I don't know if it works.
10:12I only know how to cast horoscopes according to the techniques established by the ancients.
10:20Now, you say that this young man is a spiv.
10:24Well, his horoscope suggests that he might even become responsible.
10:29Oh, well, you're often right, sir.
10:32Oh, Max, I'm never right.
10:34I was just looking at this chart you drew up on Charles Makepeace 15 years ago.
10:39You predicted he lived to be 61 or 62.
10:44And how old was he when he died?
10:4661.
10:47Well, please don't tell the police.
10:51They might think I had a hand in making my prediction come true.
10:57Yes, of course.
10:59Yes, right.
11:00Thank you very much.
11:05That was the OFT.
11:07Bad news.
11:08Our bid's been referred to the Monopolies Commission.
11:10So, here's what I propose to do about it.
11:13One, we could let the bid lapse.
11:14Two, we could wait for the Monopolies Commission, which could take up to six months with a turndown at the end of it.
11:20Who knows?
11:21Or, our bid's been referred because of the overlap in the pharmaceuticals business.
11:25Mm-hmm.
11:26Sir, Max isn't going to like that, and you're putting yourself out in a limb.
11:28Oh, come off it, Dan.
11:29The old traditions are for the old school.
11:32I'm here to win this takeover.
11:33So, I'm advising our clients to withdraw the bid, sell off their pharmaceuticals, and then we can represent the bid.
11:39And Bob is your uncle.
11:40We aren't a Monopoly anymore.
11:41Okay.
11:42Okay.
11:42This gambit of yours, has someone tried it before?
11:44Yeah, of course.
11:46Of course, a lot of bother, questions in the house, threats of legal action, all that bullshit.
11:51Well, Sir Max may try to block it.
11:52And Dinslow isn't going to be too keen on you.
11:54Mm-mm.
11:55I know.
11:56And I'm going to see Sir Max as soon as he gets back.
11:59And I'm going to propose to him and the rest of the board that it's our only hope.
12:02Isabel, this is a surprise.
12:29How nice of you to drop in.
12:31Good of you to make time for me.
12:34Come on in.
12:45Would you like a coffee?
12:47No.
12:49No coffee, thanks.
12:52Come and sit over here.
12:53You'll be more comfortable.
13:01How are you?
13:06You're coping?
13:11Yes.
13:13It must have been a dreadful shock.
13:15Yes.
13:18Yes, it was.
13:19Which is very strange when you think I'd prepared myself so often.
13:24With his heart, it was only a matter of time.
13:27Yes.
13:31Yes, I suppose so.
13:34Max?
13:36You're not nervous with me, are you?
13:38Nervous?
13:39Why should I be?
13:40Well, it's the first time we've been alone together for 25 years.
13:44We've never let's touch, Isabel.
13:45I said alone, Max.
13:47No, well...
13:49Which is very strange, because when you started out in the city, we were pretty much alone together for, oh, five years.
14:00Isabel.
14:00Oh, don't worry.
14:03I haven't come here to resurrect a dead romance.
14:07But it's not dead.
14:10What?
14:16It never has been dead for me.
14:20You were the first woman in my life.
14:23I...
14:24I don't think it's a small thing.
14:28You were the first.
14:30And my paustic wife was the second.
14:34And I'll tell you something else.
14:36I've never stopped loving you.
14:38Max...
14:39In my memory, as we were when we were young.
14:43Ah, I see.
14:45That kind of love.
14:48It all worked out frightfully well, didn't it, Max?
14:52Your arrangement.
14:54The man you found me.
14:56You chose him.
14:58No.
14:59No, I didn't.
15:02Your wife's money helped make you Sir Max Zillman, eminent banker.
15:09And I know you over-promoted Charles for my sake.
15:11Isabel, what can I do for you?
15:17I've decided to go back into business.
15:21Oh, please, don't rush into things.
15:24Well, I've quite a bit of life left in me, Max.
15:27I don't feel any different from that girl you gave up all those years ago.
15:31Oh, ask him to wait a minute, will you, please?
15:45Um, sorry, Isabel.
15:49Somebody I have to see.
15:50I'm afraid it won't wait.
15:51All right.
15:56When can we continue this discussion, Max?
15:58Oh, let's have lunch.
15:59I'll telephone you.
16:01No, not lunch.
16:04Dinner.
16:04I gather you're free on Tuesday.
16:08Why?
16:10Candlelight.
16:13And gossip.
16:18Can I please run my bank?
16:23Yes, yes, of course.
16:53Welcome to my somewhat extravagant home.
17:02Krish is bringing us some fresh coffee.
17:04Oh, there's no need.
17:05Oh, there is a great need.
17:07Hospitality is a sacred obligation.
17:10Now, you're here on official business, Superintendent, is that right?
17:15We're investigating the murder of Charles Makepeace at Car-Sulman.
17:19And I'm a suspect because I dislike the bigoted, drunken old boy, is that it?
17:25Could you tell me what you were doing on the night of the 8th of June?
17:29The night of the 8th of June.
17:32But that was not the night that Charles Makepeace died.
17:35Could you just answer the question, sir?
17:38Well, let me see.
17:40That night, that night I did nothing.
17:44I stayed at home.
17:46I see.
17:46And can anyone confirm that, sir?
17:50No.
17:51No one.
17:52You see, it was Krishna's day off.
17:55So I stayed in my room working.
17:58A person phoned.
18:00They often do.
18:02People that I don't know.
18:03Asking for an appointment.
18:05Wanting to pick my brains.
18:08So I said I'd give him ten minutes.
18:11But he did not show up.
18:13Could I have his name, sir?
18:16Impossible.
18:18Because, you see, all I remember writing down is the initial M.
18:24Now, there must be quite a few M's in London, don't you think, Superintendent?
18:28Come in.
18:29Leave it there, Chris.
18:44Yes, master.
18:47So you saw no one at all on the night of the 8th of June?
18:50No, no one.
18:52So I'm afraid I have no atibai.
18:54I hope you brought your handcuffs.
18:56The 8th?
18:58That was my girlfriend's birthday.
18:59What has your girlfriend got to do with it?
19:01Well, I went to see her, didn't I?
19:03We was going to go out for some eats and that, but she had some sort of flu, so I came home early.
19:07Don't you remember, master?
19:08I bought you some tea around about ten.
19:09Really?
19:10I don't remember.
19:11And when I got in, about eight, that was, you were having a rut with some geezer.
19:15Keep quiet, Chris.
19:16Yeah, but if you need an alibi...
19:18I need obedience, Chris.
19:19Keep quiet and get out.
19:21So, which one's telling the truth?
19:32Yo, yo, psst, psst, come here.
19:34Come here.
19:36Well, go on, then.
19:37He didn't do it, you know.
19:48Didn't he?
19:49Who didn't do what?
19:51The master.
19:56He didn't do whatever you think he'd done.
19:58He must have forgot.
20:00He had someone with him in his study that night.
20:02Go on.
20:03Well, they was talking low, and I didn't know they was there, but just as I got to the
20:07door, their voices got all loud and heated.
20:09So, then what?
20:10No.
20:11Couldn't hear that much.
20:13Thick doors.
20:14That's because he gets all kinds of top people in there, you know, like these era film star
20:18and whatnot.
20:19But it was loud enough to hear those arguing, and I think the geezer had, like, a, um,
20:23a scotch accent.
20:24That's it.
20:25Well, then about half past eight, I hear the front door open and then close, and then
20:32the master goes into his bedroom.
20:33That's just underneath my room, you see.
20:34Then I hear him, don't touch that.
20:38Then I hear him moving about from time to time all evening.
20:41Round about ten, I talk to him his usual tea, so I can say for certain that the master
20:45never left the house.
20:46You getting this down, Geese?
20:50Yes.
20:51So you can't hear what's going on in the study, but you can hear what's going on in
20:54Mr. Singh's bedroom?
20:57That's right.
20:59Thick doors, thin floors.
21:02Why do you call Mr. Singh the master?
21:06Well, that's because he is the master, and I'm the pupil.
21:10But still, I have given him an alibi, haven't I?
21:14Oh, definitely.
21:16If what you say is true.
21:18Well, it's true, all right.
21:20Good.
21:21And you'd tell me, of course, if you were lying.
21:23Yeah, if I was lying, I'd tell...
21:24You're very funny.
21:35But one of them is lying.
21:36I think they're both telling the truth.
21:38Explain.
21:40One of them's got their dates modelled.
21:41Wrong.
21:43Krishna is telling the truth.
21:44The astrologer is lying.
21:46Give it a couple of days and go back and see the lad.
21:49We're all near his generation, Sergeant.
21:51Talk to him about pop groups, things like that.
21:54Find out what he knows.
21:56Yes, sir.
21:56You're proposing, I take it, to withdraw the Dinslow bid and represent it in a newly drafted form.
22:12Yes, sir.
22:12Then we could sell off the pharmaceuticals.
22:14You do realise it'd be held to pay from the Office of Fair Trading.
22:17Possibly, but I have...
22:18Ill-judged and extremely tacky a manoeuvre.
22:24Doesn't that mean you won't allow it, sir?
22:26Not at all.
22:28I always allow my executives to go to hell in their own way.
22:31Yeah.
22:31Excellent photographs.
22:51Did Margaret Tindall take them herself?
22:54Oh, yes.
22:55Wrote it and photographed it.
22:57Represents three years' fieldwork.
23:00So what do you think?
23:02Well, the photographs are particularly well framed and the quality...
23:05About Mrs. Tindall's manor, Pellock.
23:07Well, she got very angry and then we put the book back.
23:13So what do you think?
23:16Lots of good hiding places.
23:25Read that.
23:30Now, why the hell didn't you keep an eye on him?
23:33This muck-up with heritage can do us a lot of no good.
23:37We could get some bad publicity.
23:40With respect, sir, there shouldn't have been a chemical hazard at the plant in the first place.
23:48Where was Maitland?
23:50Maitland wasn't there.
23:52Mr. Morrison, if you'd prefer that Maitland took over this operation, I'm sure...
23:55No, no, no, it's all right.
23:58Brush that chip off your shoulder.
24:01Right.
24:02Now, how do we re-present the bid?
24:06Well, we call a meeting.
24:09Our advisors, your people.
24:11Say, uh, seven, possible.
24:16Only just.
24:19It's all going coronaries in this business, isn't it?
24:21It's all going on.
24:24Yeah.
24:25Yes.
24:26Look, look, I know what you're saying, but there's no way I can give you an answer at the lower.
24:30I'll have to come back to you.
24:31About three hours.
24:32Right, right.
24:33As I know, the meeting's not fixed until seven o'clock, but I'm not too happy about your proposal.
24:42Any prospective buyer will know it's a forced sale.
24:44We'd be bound to take a heavy loss on the pharmaceuticals.
24:47No, not at all.
24:47Not necessarily.
24:48And we'd guarantee more than one bidder.
24:50It'd be a very lively auction.
24:52You think so?
24:53Look, that would take time.
24:55What about Carr-Sillman finding us a buyer at asset value?
24:59I know we'd lose a bit, but we'd gain time.
25:01We could proceed immediately.
25:03If you were in a hurry, yes.
25:06Arnold wouldn't advise it, but if that's what you want, I'd have to refer back.
25:11Refer away.
25:13You've got an hour and a half.
25:14If the Japanese could start a new industry in that time.
25:40Hi.
25:41Hello.
25:42I tried to call you back, but you'd left.
25:44What gives?
25:52What gives?
25:54Nothing.
25:55Just that I'm wasting your time.
25:57I remember just after you'd phoned, I got it wrong.
26:01You got what wrong?
26:02Well, it was a different night.
26:04The night I heard my master with someone.
26:07Look, you said your girlfriend had flu.
26:09Right.
26:11She did.
26:12Well, phone her out and ask her.
26:14And I did leave early, but what I forgot was I went to the pictures.
26:19Really?
26:21Down in his linen.
26:21So you didn't get home until late?
26:23I went to see Beth the Virgin.
26:26And you didn't hear Muscat sing with anyone?
26:28Very avant-garde film.
26:31You seen it?
26:32Please tell me the truth.
26:33Oh.
26:36Anyway, can't stop and chat.
26:39I'm in the mood.
26:40But if I remember anything else, I'll give you a buzz, OK?
26:43This is a list of selected clients, sir.
26:50All potential buyers for Dinslow's pharmaceuticals.
26:53I don't foresee any problems.
26:56I don't like it.
26:58He's put us on the spot, hasn't he, Field?
27:00Our fee is negligible if the bid doesn't succeed.
27:06Oh, yes, sir.
27:07There is a positive PR aspect to this, if we're seeing to support our clients like this.
27:13In the old days, it used to be the client that took the risk and the advisor that took the fee.
27:19See, it was the logical approach for a bank, wouldn't you say, Field?
27:31Hello, there.
27:32Good morning.
27:34Boy, you look bushed.
27:37Could have something to do with work, I suppose.
27:39Oh, knock it off.
27:42What's the latest?
27:44The usual.
27:46A shower to get MPs, the trade secretary.
27:50The press.
27:52You'd think I was mounting a terrorist campaign, not representing a takeover bid.
27:57And the old man's sticking away upstairs.
28:00Has Sir Max said anything?
28:03Oh, yes.
28:05Yes, he said it was my operation, but my guess is he means that my head's on the block.
28:09Hmm.
28:12You could get this department yet, Dad.
28:14Well, there'll always be a place for you, John.
28:19Look, I'm sorry, but I just didn't seem to get anywhere with him.
28:31I know he's lying, though.
28:34All right, put a tail on him.
28:35Have you seen this?
28:42No.
28:43Well, they got one of Mustard Killers.
28:45One of the boys who worked the demos for him.
28:48Seems he welched to no payments.
28:50Does that let Field off the hook?
28:53Not yet.
28:54I wish it did.
28:55Too many bloody suspects.
28:56Oh, Tyndall's still a favourite.
29:01Shall we carry on checking out these ruins?
29:05I don't know.
29:09All right.
29:10Give me a minute.
29:13A caravan.
29:15His sister had a caravan.
29:16Now she lived in it while she did her field work.
29:18Now I wonder what's happened to that.
29:41Yeah.
29:42The Monopolies Commission.
29:46Yeah.
29:47Yes, put them on.
29:48Listen, bring me the file, will you, Diana?
29:51Yeah, Dinslow number four, okay?
29:53Yeah, thank you.
29:54Oh, good morning, Diana.
30:08Good morning, Miss.
30:08Everything all right, is it?
30:10Everything's fine, Mrs. Norfolk.
30:12Oh, good.
30:21Yes, I see, yeah.
30:22No, not at all.
30:25Yeah, goodbye.
30:28Here's the Dinslow number four file, and here's your coffee.
30:32Bad news?
30:34They've looked at our represented bid, and they see no grounds for referral anymore.
30:37Well done.
30:39Congratulations.
30:39Subject only to the market.
30:42By God, we'll beat the bastards.
30:52Oh, boy.
30:57Oh, it's nice to see you, Boots.
31:00Good of you to rally.
31:01Yes, I was a bit surprised, having seen you only last week at the Red Bulls.
31:05Oh, well, then I discovered you were working for Ace Chemical Company.
31:09Whatever happened to the building trade?
31:11Oh.
31:12Bloody unions refused to do routine maintenance, so the bloody scaffolding collapsed, and the
31:18bloody firm went bust to the tune of six million.
31:22Oh, God, Dan.
31:24I wish I was a better driver.
31:26I'd chuck industry and race motorcars.
31:29No union problems there, at least.
31:34What about my little problem, Boots?
31:36They know that I can help you.
31:38Why the hell not?
31:39You've worked for Phantom Browning?
31:40Ah, yes, Dan, but in a distant province.
31:43No idea what goes on at HQ.
31:45Well, if you can't help me with that, maybe you can tell me whether or not our bid is going
31:50to succeed.
31:51Not according to the bars.
31:53That says heritage won't shift.
31:55Oh.
31:56Look, I'll, uh, put a few feelers out, Dan.
32:00I'd like to help you for old time's sake.
32:02After all, you taught me to chat up girls.
32:06Trouble was, there weren't any girls at Westminster in those days, so I chatted up the boys instead.
32:10Boots.
32:17I need something.
32:18Anything.
32:20Anything I can get my hands on.
32:22I'll do my best.
32:25Have you heard from old Carters?
32:26He hopped across to your side of the pond, went into snake farming.
32:31Ghastly profession I'd afford.
32:33Uh, waiter.
32:33Uh, waiter.
32:40How do you like them?
32:55Shaken or stirred?
32:56I'll leave that to you.
32:58So, who's the white knight?
33:07White knight?
33:08There isn't any.
33:10Oh, I think there is.
33:12Someone's riding to the rescue of Fane and Browning.
33:16What makes you think so?
33:17Buzz, buzz.
33:19Those are just bees, Kate.
33:21No white knight.
33:22And you would tell me if there weren't.
33:24Exactly.
33:26Well, I gotta get that.
33:28Can you take her the drinks?
33:29Remember now, don't shake them.
33:31I think I'll manage.
33:33All right.
33:34Just stir.
33:42Boots?
33:44Dan here.
33:46Really?
33:47That sounds interesting.
33:47No, no, of course I understand.
33:52And he's prepared to meet me.
33:55Good.
33:58Walthamstow?
33:59Where the hell is Walthamstow?
34:01No, no, I'll find it.
34:02Just give me the address.
34:05Uh, Erskine Avenue.
34:06Is that with an E?
34:08Good.
34:1011 in the morning.
34:12Moe's Cafe.
34:13Got it.
34:16All right, how much do you think?
34:1750, 100?
34:20All right, I'll bring 100.
34:24No, I'm very grateful.
34:28Naturally.
34:29So long, Boots.
34:35Business?
34:36Yeah, yeah, something John and I are working on.
34:40Cheers.
34:42Cheers.
34:43Mmm, stirred, not shaken.
34:52We have a takeover bid that's run into trouble.
34:54And Boots is helping out.
34:56How'd he get that name?
34:58Boots?
34:59He was at school with me.
35:01He used to wear his boots in bed.
35:03He had six toes and one foot and was shy about it.
35:04He's working for one of the companies involved.
35:10John doesn't know what I'm doing.
35:12And I don't want him to.
35:15You don't have to worry about me.
35:16Yes, it's fine.
35:17Yes, it's fine.
35:18Yes, they lay down.
35:21It's fine.
35:22Inspector Mallory, Superintendent Thornton, Sergeant Ballantyne.
35:50Good time.
35:52We've got a constable down there keeping an eye on him.
35:54Good.
35:56You know the lie of the land, so you better do the cross-country stuff.
35:59We'll go down the embankment.
36:01Is there any other approach?
36:03Any across the fields? That's hard going.
36:06We've got a tractor stuck across the cutting.
36:08If he tries either way, we can cut him off.
36:10Good.
36:11Right.
36:12Shall we be able to hold him?
36:16Right.
36:18Where'd you get, lads?
36:20Remember, he's dangerous.
36:22It's dangerous.
36:24It's dangerous.
36:26I should have had to keep on him because he's not wandering.
36:28It's dangerous.
36:30ального
36:38Let's go.
37:08Let's go.
37:38Let's go.
38:08Oh, yes, yes, yes, oh, oh.
38:17Oh, that's it.
38:18Gently, darling.
38:19Gently, gently.
38:20Let her go if she wants to.
38:21Oh, yes.
38:34This is a really bad idea.
38:38Look at all this stuff.
38:39It's ridiculous.
38:40You can't give the little girl such an enchanting pattern and just take it away again.
38:46Well, I'll get her something else.
38:49You have to persuade her it's a good swap.
38:50I will.
38:51Well, this bloke really wants her back on Sunday.
38:55I'm afraid so.
38:58Who did you say he was?
39:00Some broker fellow, yeah.
39:03A client.
39:03We needed to look after him.
39:05She's going to be heartbroken.
39:09You know that.
39:12I'll get her a puppy if that makes you any happy.
39:14All right?
39:15No problem.
39:23Oh, darling.
39:27Oh, you know,
39:53some people can land in the shed
39:56and come out smelling the roses.
40:00Brought you some grapes.
40:02Thanks.
40:11How long am I going to be stuck in here?
40:14Oh, four or five days yet.
40:18You'll miss Millie's housewarming.
40:23At the new cottage.
40:30Have you found Tyndall?
40:33Found his car.
40:35Not him.
40:37I'd better get out of bed and give you a hand.
40:40State you're in, you couldn't stand up to a toddler.
40:44You just rest.
40:45I could have taken the tray.
41:11Oh, no, sorry.
41:12I'm feeling quite paternal towards Griselda.
41:18Be happy to see her installed in a new home.
41:20So that's Tarraton.
41:33That's Tarraton.
41:34The family seat.
41:36No, this is home.
41:38How long have your family lived in here?
41:41Well, that house is late 17th century.
41:45The family seats a huge castle east of Dundee.
41:48But it's always full of Arabs and Americans
41:49demolishing the game.
41:51That's how Daddy earns a living these days.
41:53$50,000.
42:34Who are your father's bankers?
42:41I haven't a clue.
42:43Do you think you should use your phone?
42:45I could do worse.
43:01Oh, darling.
43:03You have been a good, good girl.
43:07Come on.
43:09Have a drink.
43:12She's so used to people.
43:14I'm worried she won't be able to fend for herself.
43:17Do you think she'll be safer in a zoo?
43:18No.
43:20No, nothing's better than captivity.
43:22Good luck, Griselda.
43:46Yeah.
43:50Fancy a swim?
43:54It's not deep enough, is it?
43:55There's a swimming hole further upstream.
43:57Come on, I'll show you.
43:59I haven't got a costume.
44:01We don't use them.
44:02It's idiotic to get dressed in order to get wet.
44:04Have you got any children?
44:26One.
44:27How old?
44:28Seven.
44:35It's a pity you have to go.
44:37Some new neighbours are having a midsummer party.
44:39Could be fun.
44:42I don't have to go anywhere.
44:44Rupert will be all right.
44:56Rupert will be all right.
45:14I don't know.
