00:00I mean, I'd like a little golf meself, you know, but...
00:07Oh, granted, it's a nice car, Sonia, but the XK version with eight cylinders under the hood.
00:12Now that's something else.
00:14As soon as I take delivery, I'll give you a spin.
00:16Right, Russ. I'll hold you to that.
00:22Same again, please, love, and whatever you're having.
00:25Shop me, Mum.
00:30And we'll go.
00:33Oh, no, okay.
00:35Oh, no, okay.
00:36There it is.
00:38Here we go.
00:39Ready?
00:40What a good idea.
00:42Oh.
00:44Yeah.
00:45That is what I do.
00:47Oh.
00:49OK.
00:50Oh.
00:55So difficult.
00:57Oh.
00:58Oh!
01:28Oh, my God.
01:58How's that?
02:07Oh, very smart.
02:09Is that a second post?
02:10A junk mail delivery.
02:12Oh.
02:13Yes, a dark suit, a crisp shirt.
02:15You can't beat it.
02:17I always said funerals suit you.
02:20Were you expecting something?
02:22From Whitby?
02:23No, not really.
02:25I shouldn't cancel my hair appointment, should I?
02:27No, no, I'd be back well before then.
02:29What if we're asked back?
02:30I can always do the honours.
02:32You didn't know Charlie that well, did you?
02:34And some things can't be put off.
02:37Cheeky.
02:39I did tell you it was a long shot.
02:41Your cousin's probably moved on long since.
02:44You're probably right.
02:45I was just passing.
02:59Any joy?
03:00What do you think?
03:02What have you got there, then?
03:04Something that Aidy forgot to take with him.
03:06Left a forwarding address, did he?
03:08And his phone number.
03:09Maybe I'll call him and get him to pick it up.
03:11Oh, seems a shame now you've wrapped it so nicely.
03:16What's a visible deterrent?
03:19Security guard.
03:20Why don't we just say it, then?
03:23Security, I suppose.
03:25Go for it.
03:26No, thanks.
03:27When I think of visible deterrent, I think of you.
03:29Oh, yes.
03:32It was sudden, all right.
03:34Still, 73.
03:36Not a bad innings.
03:38How's your better half?
03:39Still sleuthing?
03:41Aye.
03:42Yes, sir.
03:43I thought I caught a glimpse of her at the church.
03:46Ah, yes.
03:47She had to shoot off.
03:49Ah.
03:50As in business?
03:51Anything that might interest our news desk?
03:54You should know better than to ask.
03:56Oh, sorry, Hetty.
04:01I'll be with you in a tick.
04:02That's all right.
04:05Oh.
04:09Now, then, how are you?
04:11I'm well looked after, thank you.
04:13So have a cup of tea and get your breath back.
04:16Oh, I'm fine.
04:17I'm just a bit flustered, that's all.
04:20I visited the hospital and I got stuck in the traffic.
04:22Make a cup of tea for Mrs Halliwell, Julie.
04:26The hospital?
04:27Nothing serious, I hope.
04:29Not with me.
04:31I was visiting Russell.
04:32They're quite worried about him.
04:34He's been beaten up and fractured his skull.
04:37Beaten up?
04:38Why?
04:40Well, he says he doesn't know.
04:42Was it for money or valuables?
04:45Well, apparently not.
04:47He was having a lunchtime drink.
04:49He went to the gents and this man just laid into him.
04:51There was no arguments, nothing.
04:53But that's dreadful.
04:55Did he know the man?
04:56He says he'd never seen him before.
04:59Oh, you can't believe it, can you?
05:01What do the police say?
05:03Well, they know who did it.
05:04They arrested him straight away.
05:06Well, that's good.
05:07What'll happen to Charlie's column?
05:13Well, we'll find another writer and it'll appear as usual.
05:16Joe Elder is dead.
05:18Long live Joe Elder's column.
05:20Oh, he had a particular turn of phrase, did Charlie.
05:23I think I'll know if someone else has written it.
05:25You might, but thousands won't.
05:27So, would he need any experience, Charlie's replacement?
05:34Well, not particularly, no.
05:35He's got to be 60 plus, opinionated,
05:38and able to scribble a few plain words.
05:40If you think of anybody, give me a call.
05:42You're going to be writing Charlie's column
05:48before the ink's even dry on his last offering.
05:51Oh, it's not his column.
05:52It's been written by 14 people over the years.
05:55I know that.
05:56It just seems a bit insensitive
05:57to be planning it all at his funeral.
06:00In a paper near you, Robert Wainthrop is Joe Elder.
06:06I'm impressed.
06:08What are you going to write about?
06:09I've no idea yet.
06:10Joe Elder's supposed to have strong opinions.
06:13I've always left that side of things to you.
06:16Hey.
06:18I'll go.
06:27Hello, Dawn.
06:29Hattie.
06:30Can I have a word?
06:32Of course, come in.
06:35Oh, thank you.
06:36Nice.
06:40The police went to see Russ this afternoon
06:47about the assault.
06:50He's asked them to drop the charges.
06:53Drop them?
06:54Why?
06:55I told him that Skulls,
06:57the man who attacked him,
06:58had made a counter-accusation.
07:01What sort of accusation?
07:03That Russ had made an approach to him.
07:07Russ wouldn't elaborate.
07:09He was too disgusted.
07:10He said it was at an insult to injury.
07:15What do the police say?
07:18Well, they think it's a smear to make Russ back off.
07:21They'd like to take this thug to court.
07:23But Russ thinks that the mud might stick.
07:26Understandable, I suppose.
07:31But what about the next victim
07:32who happens to get in this man's way?
07:36That's it, though, isn't it?
07:38Mr. Russ really picked out at random.
07:42What are you saying, Dawn?
07:44I want you to find out
07:46if he's got himself into something
07:47that he can't handle.
07:51Like what?
07:51I'm not asking any favours, Hetty.
07:57I'll pay the price.
08:01Yeah, Russ is a regular.
08:03Not every day,
08:04but two or three times a week.
08:06And what about Skulls?
08:08No.
08:09I've seen him around, though.
08:10He works at a gym not far from here.
08:13Was Mr. Halliwell talking to him?
08:15No, he was at the bar.
08:17Skulls over by the fruit machine.
08:18On his own?
08:19As far as I can remember.
08:21When Russ went to the gents,
08:23did Skulls follow him
08:24or was he already in there?
08:25Look, it's like I told the police.
08:27I was behind here getting on,
08:29so really I'm not sure.
08:31But I think he went in after Russ.
08:33And no words,
08:35angry or otherwise,
08:36had passed between them.
08:38No.
08:40Now, are you sure I can't get you a drink?
08:42No, thank you.
08:43We don't drink on duty.
08:46Oh.
08:47It is serious stuff, then.
08:49Do you have any thoughts
08:50on why Mr. Halliwell was attacked?
08:52Not really.
08:54Russ is a really nice fella.
08:56He'll buy anybody a drink.
08:57Especially those of the opposite sex.
09:00Well, yes.
09:01He does have a bit of a twinkle.
09:04Eureka!
09:22I spent days down the job centre
09:24getting absolutely nowhere
09:25and you step into some dead man's shoes.
09:27Now don't you start.
09:28Maybe I should check the obituary column first.
09:32Are you sure you're not getting too picky?
09:34I want a job driving forklift trucks,
09:36not the Euro shuttle.
09:38Oh, yeah.
09:38I can drive them and I can maintain them.
09:41Maybe so,
09:41but there are not many lasses
09:43in that line of work, are there?
09:45You should never have given up
09:47that job at the garage.
09:48Oh, Aidy Atherton.
09:52Where?
09:53Up there.
09:55He must have posed for the sign painter.
09:57Oh, don't talk daft.
09:58Just look at those muscles
09:59and that full canteen of teeth.
10:01He's the spit.
10:03He's moved out of Janet's flat.
10:05Now get him out of your mind, Geoffrey.
10:07Easy to say,
10:08but he throws a very long shadow.
10:13Hello!
10:13Hello.
10:13Are you in charge here, Mr...
10:17Scholes?
10:18Dean Scholes.
10:19What can I do for you?
10:20This is my nephew.
10:22I'm thinking of buying him membership
10:24as a birthday present.
10:25Oh, come in.
10:26I'll show you around.
10:37Sproom floor in the gym
10:39for aerobics, circuits,
10:41stretching exercises.
10:42In here?
10:43Cardiovascular room.
10:45Step-ups,
10:47bikes,
10:47rowers.
10:49Gyring on the joints,
10:50kept to a minimum.
10:51But plenty of hammer on the ticker.
10:53All right, Donna?
10:56Down here,
10:57the weights room.
10:58Loads of poundage
11:00for bodybuilding.
11:01If that's what you're after.
11:03I'm not sure yet.
11:05I'm not
11:05exactly what you'd call
11:07chunky.
11:08No.
11:09He's been poorly.
11:11I did wonder.
11:11Well, looks like
11:13your auntie's prezzy's
11:14come in the nick of time.
11:15That's as may be,
11:17but I think he ought to have a go
11:18before I spend the money.
11:21Dean Scholes,
11:22just enough brains
11:23to be bothersome.
11:24Why haven't you charged him?
11:26I'm sure you know why.
11:28Scholes claimed that Halliwell
11:29made advances of a sexual nature.
11:31Do you believe that?
11:33No.
11:34So why was he assaulted?
11:35Scholes is a thug.
11:37He doesn't need an excuse
11:38to thump anyone.
11:39Russell Halliwell
11:40was in the wrong place
11:41at the wrong time.
11:42Is that what you're saying?
11:43Have you met Scholes yet?
11:45Yes, at the gym
11:46where he works.
11:48Off the record,
11:49we think Scholes
11:50has an under-the-counter business
11:52selling steroids
11:53to bodybuilders.
11:54Illegal, of course,
11:55but we don't have
11:56any firm evidence.
11:57The attack on Halliwell
11:58might be connected.
11:59An unpaid debt, perhaps?
12:01Russell Halliwell
12:02said he'd never
12:03seen Scholes before.
12:05Well, he would,
12:06wouldn't he?
12:19What are you doing here?
12:21Reporting here.
12:22What else?
12:23How is he?
12:24Well, he's on the mend.
12:25He thinks he might
12:26be out tomorrow.
12:27We'd better get
12:28a move on, then.
12:29Why?
12:29What have you found out?
12:31Not a lot.
12:32I want you to give me
12:33a bit more information.
12:35What about?
12:36Have a look at his
12:36bank statements,
12:38credit card statements,
12:39itemized phone bills.
12:42Oh.
12:42Is there a problem?
12:45Well, we've always
12:46kept separate accounts
12:47and what with my business.
12:50I didn't want any confusion.
12:52Very sensible.
12:53Well, having laid down
12:55the law,
12:56it's wrong for me
12:57to pry into his things now.
13:00What you mean is
13:01that's what you're
13:01paying me to do.
13:02Well, I think...
13:04Dawn,
13:05the next time
13:06he could be really hurt.
13:09What?
13:10So far,
13:11all we know for certain
13:11is that Scholes
13:12isn't a jealous husband
13:14because he isn't
13:15a married man.
13:17No.
13:17But we're equally sure
13:19that this attack
13:20was not a matter of chance.
13:23It wasn't.
13:23We think that Russ
13:25was this man's target.
13:27And for all we know,
13:29he still is.
13:30What do you want?
13:47What do you think?
13:48Trouble with the car.
13:51Can I come in?
13:52What for?
13:53Janet!
13:53I can't stand
13:55not seeing you.
13:57You're gonna have to come up
13:57for something better than that.
13:58All right.
14:00I'll hoover
14:00right through
14:01without any obligation.
14:03Come in.
14:09Did Mr. Waynthrop
14:10tell you how I'd been?
14:11What do you mean?
14:12Dead miserable.
14:14No, he didn't.
14:16Well, I am.
14:18What have you
14:19got to be miserable about?
14:21You've got a job
14:21with bed and board
14:22thrown in.
14:23I haven't got you.
14:25And if I haven't got you,
14:26then
14:26I've got nothing.
14:28If you had any gumption at all,
14:30you could have been here
14:31every night
14:32hoovering.
14:34I've said I'll tell them.
14:36Yeah.
14:36Well, I've been like a son
14:38to them, Janet.
14:39I have to do it right.
14:40It's too late.
14:40I've got to get another lodger
14:42or move out.
14:42No, I'll do it.
14:44I just have to
14:44pick my moment.
14:46Keep talking.
14:47I'm all ears.
14:47Well, as a minor royal
14:52has agreed to open
14:53the extension
14:53to the wireworks,
14:55what about a piece
14:56on the monarchy?
14:58I had a number
14:59of very interesting views
15:00on my recent trip
15:01to Australia.
15:03Oh,
15:04Charlie did that too.
15:07Well,
15:07well, what about...
15:09Ah!
15:10Hazardous waste.
15:11Not in my backyard.
15:12Oh,
15:16Charlie did that too.
15:18Right.
15:19Cheers.
15:23No good.
15:24Any of them.
15:25Oh, dear.
15:29What was it
15:30you wanted to ask me about?
15:32Hmm?
15:33Something you wanted
15:33to discuss.
15:35Oh, that!
15:36Yeah.
15:37No.
15:38Er...
15:39That can wait.
15:42What's the story?
15:45We're customers.
15:47You take a look
15:48round the trade counter.
15:49I'll do the retail displays.
15:55Oh!
15:56I'm sorry.
15:58They're quite small,
16:00aren't they?
16:00The standard size,
16:01madam.
16:01May I help?
16:02Thank you, yes.
16:04I came in
16:05to see Mr Halliwell.
16:06I'm sorry.
16:07Mr Halliwell's off sick.
16:08Oh,
16:09nothing serious,
16:10I hope.
16:10He's been badly injured.
16:11An accident?
16:13An assault.
16:14An assault.
16:16He's in a real mess,
16:17apparently.
16:18Are you a friend of his?
16:19Oh,
16:20a friend of a friend.
16:22I always understood
16:24he was an amiable
16:25sort of person.
16:26Yes.
16:27Of course,
16:28some people here
16:29were always saying
16:30he'd come unstuck.
16:31Oh,
16:31why is that?
16:32Well,
16:33it's no secret,
16:33really.
16:34Russ could get a bit
16:35over-familiar.
16:37Not with me,
16:38of course.
16:39No,
16:39no.
16:40So the attack
16:42could have been
16:43over a woman,
16:43you mean.
16:45Everything all right?
16:46Yes,
16:47Mr Kenyon.
16:48This lady was asking
16:49for Ross.
16:50Oh.
16:50Well,
16:51I'm afraid
16:51he's not in today.
16:52So I gather.
16:54Injured in shocking
16:55circumstances,
16:56I hear.
16:58This lady's a friend,
16:59Mr Kenyon.
17:00The friend of a friend.
17:01I see.
17:03Well,
17:03I'm sure
17:04Russell will have
17:04all the friends
17:05he needs
17:05when he comes back.
17:06Now,
17:07is there anything
17:07I can do
17:07to help you?
17:10Hey!
17:11George Bernard Shawcross.
17:13Hey,
17:14Mose.
17:14How's it going?
17:15Yeah,
17:15pretty fair.
17:16How's yourself?
17:17Not bad,
17:17yeah.
17:18So,
17:18what are you doing here?
17:20Oh,
17:20I'm a test pilot
17:21for Harry and George Jets.
17:23Stormen,
17:24right?
17:24Yeah,
17:24you always were sharp.
17:25Yeah.
17:26What happened,
17:27eh?
17:27Good to see you,
17:28Boris.
17:28And there's another range
17:35you should look at.
17:36No more for now,
17:37Mr Kenyon.
17:38My husband's allergic
17:39to glossy brochures.
17:40They bring him out
17:41in a rash.
17:42Private investigator?
17:44Straight up?
17:45Yep.
17:46So what are you doing here?
17:48Just looking round.
17:50You're here on a job.
17:51Shh,
17:51keep it down.
17:51You are.
17:52What is it?
17:53Who is it?
17:55Russ Halliwell.
17:56You know him?
17:57Sure.
17:57Somebody lamped him.
17:58Yeah.
17:59What can you tell me about him?
18:02Nothing now,
18:02he's the boss.
18:03I'm supposed to be working.
18:05See you, mate.
18:19What's the matter?
18:20I won't be in Moe.
18:28Moe's!
18:30Moe's!
18:33Fancy a drink?
18:34Yeah,
18:34when?
18:35Tonight,
18:35eight o'clock
18:36with three tons.
18:36All right,
18:37see you there.
18:37oth...
18:38You're so good.
18:40My permanently...
18:52It's all good.
18:53It's all good.
18:53You're good.
18:54You're better.
18:55It's all good.
18:56Why?
18:57Look,
18:58I better...
18:59It's all good.
19:00Let go.
19:01It's all good.
19:02And let go...
19:03It's all good.
19:34It's a simple as that.
19:35Pull it.
19:47You'll do yourself a mischief.
19:50What are you doing here?
19:51I came to see what you were up to.
19:52This is not a spectator sport, Mr. Wainter.
19:55It's not a sport at all in my book.
19:57What do you want to go torturing yourself like this for?
19:59I'm not. I'm working.
20:01Oh, yes. That Adrian fellow has a lot to answer for.
20:04What's that supposed to mean?
20:06I think you know.
20:08There's another fellow you want to steer clear.
20:11Skulls? He's the one I'm watching.
20:13No. I just saw him working that fellow over in the back room.
20:22Evening. Need some help?
20:24No, thanks. Just checking on the young fellow here.
20:26All right. He's my uncle.
20:27Oh. Well, he's in good hands, uncle.
20:31Right. I'll, er...
20:32Better leave him to it, then.
20:36Ah!
20:41You and me should have a little talk about diet.
20:44A lad like you needs a bit of help to bulk himself up.
20:48What do you mean?
20:49Well, supplements.
20:50I can do some at a good price.
20:53Take my word for it.
20:54Your body could look like a sock full of gonkers in no time.
20:58Are you sure it was Kenyon?
21:00Positive.
21:03And what's he doing with a man like Skulls?
21:06More to the point, what was Skulls doing with him?
21:09Oh!
21:09Here's Moe's.
21:15Yes.
21:19Moe's!
21:20All right.
21:21Hey.
21:22What's he having?
21:23Er, bitter.
21:24Pints of bitter, please.
21:26Sonia?
21:26You brought your mother?
21:29She's the boss.
21:30Oh.
21:31She doesn't look much like a private detective.
21:33No.
21:34That's the point.
21:35Oh.
21:36Yeah, I'm sorry I had to dash this afternoon.
21:38Oh, that's all right.
21:39Is that your job?
21:40Driving the forklift trucks?
21:41Well, not likely, no.
21:42I'm just filling in until they find someone.
21:44That wouldn't mean there's a job going for an experienced driver.
21:48Why?
21:49I know someone who's lucky.
21:501.47, please.
21:53Keep the change.
21:55Come on.
21:59Mrs. Rainflop.
22:00This is Graham Moseley.
22:03Call me Mose.
22:04What does your mother call you?
22:05Graham.
22:06Then that'll do for me.
22:12Geoffrey says you know Russell Halliwell.
22:15Er, yeah, we work at the same place.
22:17You any idea why he's been assaulted?
22:20Not for sure, but I know a few who weren't surprised.
22:23Oh.
22:24Yeah, he thinks a lot of himself, does Russ.
22:26Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
22:27Oh.
22:27I mean, I quite like him, because he's always giving me his chat-up lines.
22:32Yes, we hear he's very popular with the ladies.
22:35Yeah, all of them, if you believed everything he said.
22:38But not quite so popular with the gentlemen.
22:41What does Mr. Kenyon make of him, for example?
22:45He's not overfussed.
22:47A few months ago, Russ and Kenyon applied for the top job, and Russ lost out.
22:51I see.
22:52How did he take it?
22:54Badly.
22:55Especially when Kenyon started to reorganise the place.
22:58Now Russ reckons he's been demoted, so every chance he gets, he puts the knife in.
23:02How?
23:03Rubbish in Kenyon's management.
23:06Dishing the dirt on his wife.
23:08Kenyon's wife?
23:09Yeah.
23:10Paula Kenyon used to work at the warehouse.
23:12Go on.
23:13Well, she used to be a girlfriend of Russ.
23:16Serious, they say, but he wouldn't leave his wife.
23:19Now Russ is saying she married Kenyon on the rebound, and that he's seeing her again.
23:24Halliwell is seeing Paula Kenyon.
23:26That's what he says.
23:28Sour grapes, I reckon.
23:29I mean, the guy's all mouth.
23:33Oh, are we off?
23:34I am.
23:35You stay and enjoy yourself with Graeme.
23:38I fancy a taste of these sour grapes.
23:40Ta-da.
23:42I didn't ask for victim support.
23:44I appreciate that, Mr Halliwell.
23:47My services are entirely optional.
23:50Who told you about me?
23:51The police have a list.
23:53It's confidential, of course.
23:56You see, when somebody is the victim of an attack like this,
24:01it affects their confidence badly.
24:04More so than if they'd known their attacker,
24:07or the reason for it.
24:12Would it help to talk?
24:14I doubt it.
24:15Was the man drunk?
24:20No.
24:23What did he say?
24:25Not a word.
24:27Nothing.
24:30This is completely confidential, Mr Halliwell.
24:34Did you say anything to him?
24:37No.
24:38You've no idea why he did this to you?
24:40None.
24:41Now, look, if you don't mind,
24:42I just want to get out of here and forget it.
24:44Sigh.
24:45Sigh.
25:12Yes!
25:12Yes!
25:15Ah, Joel, just caught you.
25:35Yes, sorry, a bit pushed.
25:37What was it?
25:38My idea for the Joe Elder column.
25:40Narcissism, the new religion.
25:43Go on, then.
25:44Well, it came to me after I'd been to one of them fitness centres that are springing up everywhere.
25:49Churches, dark and empty.
25:51These places lit like beacons, with fanatics worshipping their own bodies.
25:56Mirrored walls, would you believe?
25:59Body or soul.
26:00Is that the idea?
26:01Aye.
26:02Yes.
26:03Sounds quite promising.
26:05Do it.
26:14Johnny Fraser?
26:20Right.
26:21This way.
26:22There was nothing unusual on his bank statement or the phone bill, but there are two entries
26:29on his credit card statement I couldn't fathom.
26:32One for a place called Knack Nick's and one for Bloom's R Us.
26:37All right, Dawn.
26:38We'll follow them up.
26:39Well, I'd better get these back where I found them.
26:42He's coming out today.
26:43It'll be lovely to have him home again.
26:45All right.
27:16Guess what?
27:17I got it!
27:21You knew.
27:22Oh, I couldn't help making a phone call, eh?
27:24Brilliant!
27:24Oh, not just any job.
27:25THE job.
27:26Forklift truck operative.
27:28Just trips off the tongue, doesn't it?
27:32Come here.
27:33One for you.
27:35And one for your old schoolmate.
27:37The old boy network alive and trucking.
27:39Oh, thanks.
27:40Oh, nothing to it.
27:41Once they saw you, the job was yours.
27:43Yeah, it's right.
27:43Yeah, I've just come from the gym.
27:45Had a quick shower and go.
27:47Oh?
27:47I thought you only had a trial membership.
27:49Well, I told them I still couldn't decide and Kaz's done other two visits.
27:52Can you, er...
27:53Can you feel the difference?
27:55What do you mean?
27:56Well, am I a bit lumpier?
27:58I'm not sure I like lumps.
28:00In all of the right places.
28:02I thought it was obvious that I like my men lean and wiry.
28:05Well, yeah, but...
28:05As long as you can take the cork off that bottle, that's all the muscle I need in a bloke.
28:09Anything caviar?
28:11I can handle myself.
28:12I think I'll go up.
28:22Right.
28:25Five hundred words exactly.
28:27Well done.
28:29How many was it you started with?
28:31Two thousand four hundred.
28:32I think your style was destined for a bigger newspaper, Robert.
28:38I got carried away.
28:41Body or soul?
28:44Needed saying, Hetty.
28:46Absolutely.
28:47To make a few fitness fanatics sit up and think.
28:50Well, I hope you're not going to sit up and think for too much longer.
28:54Geoffrey's got his key, has he?
28:55Yes, but something tells me he won't be using it tonight.
29:01Oh?
29:02Did he say anything?
29:04I think he's been trying to.
29:08Ah.
29:09I suppose they're sensible enough to know what they're doing, Robert.
29:14Yes.
29:16Yes, I think so.
29:21Good night.
29:25Good morning, madam.
29:41Oh, good morning.
29:43I wonder if you could solve a little mystery for me.
29:47What's the problem?
29:49About a month ago, while I was abroad,
29:51I asked my son to phone a gift of flowers to a friend.
29:55His credit card statement shows that a charge was made,
29:59but my friend said she never received them.
30:02Oh, I see.
30:02What's the name?
30:03Halliwell.
30:05The transaction was dated the 18th.
30:08I'll just check.
30:10Rosa's ordered by Mr. R. Halliwell and delivered on the 18th.
30:34Ah, but was it to the right person?
30:37Paula Kenyon, 43 Buckingham Drive?
30:40Yes, that's her.
30:41How strange.
30:43In fact, I delivered some more flowers myself to this address a week or so ago.
30:47To Paula Kenyon?
30:48Yes.
30:49Her husband accepted them.
30:50Perhaps he could help you clear up the confusion.
30:52You disappoint me, Geoffrey.
30:57I thought you were made of sterner stuff.
30:59Mrs. Wainthrop, there are places even the toughest gumshoes shouldn't go.
31:05Never mind.
31:06We've got what we need.
31:11I suppose you and Janet were out celebrating last night.
31:14We stayed in.
31:17Oh?
31:19With a takeaway and wine.
31:22Very nice.
31:24It was.
31:26I had too much to drink to risk driving back.
31:30I see.
31:34Somewhere safe to put the car at Janet's, is there?
31:38Hmm.
31:38Just round the back.
31:40Oh, that's handy.
31:41In fact, I was thinking of parking it there on a more permanent basis.
31:53Yes, I rather thought you might.
31:55You don't mind, do you?
31:59It's not for me to mind, Geoffrey.
32:04You're old enough to know your own.
32:08Cheers, Mrs. Wainthrop.
32:11Mrs. Kenyon?
32:21Yes?
32:21May we trouble you for a moment?
32:25Well, how can I help?
32:27We're investigating the circumstances surrounding the assault on Russell Halliwell.
32:32Russell Halliwell?
32:33You do know that he's been injured.
32:35No, I'm sorry.
32:36Should I?
32:37I thought your husband might have mentioned it.
32:38No, I think you must have the wrong person.
32:41You do know Russell Halliwell?
32:43Yes, of course I do.
32:44But that doesn't mean he's a topic of conversation in this house.
32:47I see.
32:48So, if you don't mind...
32:49I appreciate your concern for privacy, Mrs. Kenyon.
32:53But I do think you can help us.
32:55Who are you working for?
32:57Mrs. Halliwell.
32:58She sent you?
32:59Does she know you're here?
33:00No.
33:00Nor does she know that her husband has been sending you flowers.
33:10The Joe Elder column.
33:12On the dot.
33:17They...
33:17They will get you, won't they?
33:19Oh, right.
33:20I was in love with him.
33:23Stupid, really.
33:24I knew what he was like.
33:26When it became obvious he was never going to leave Dool and I finished it.
33:30Martin joined the firm shortly after.
33:32We got married.
33:33I left work.
33:34That's it, really.
33:35As far as I'm concerned, Russ Halliwell is history.
33:38Then why is he sending you flowers?
33:40To upset Martin.
33:42Ever since Martin got the manager's job ahead of Russ, he's been trying to foul things up.
33:46In what way?
33:47By trying to undermine him at work.
33:49And at home?
33:50I've told Martin, as far as I'm concerned, he's got nothing to worry about.
33:55Funny thing, though, worry.
33:57When it takes a hold.
33:59What's any of this got to do with an assault on Russ?
34:02Your husband's a member of a fitness club?
34:04Yes.
34:05A man named Scholes helps to run it.
34:07Has he ever mentioned him?
34:08I don't think so.
34:09We think they're on close terms.
34:11So what?
34:12It was Scholes who beat up Russ Halliwell.
34:14So what are you saying?
34:16That because Martin knows this guy, he must have had something to do with it?
34:19We have to ask the question.
34:21Martin hates violence.
34:23Whatever the provocation.
34:24No question.
34:25I know him.
34:26What did you do with the flowers?
34:29The flowers?
34:29I threw them straight in the bin.
34:31And the same with the second lot.
34:33Second lot?
34:34The flowers that were delivered here a few days ago.
34:37Didn't your husband tell you?
34:38Halliwell was making Kenyon's life a misery.
34:44So we get Scholes to beat him up.
34:46QED.
34:47But in that case, why didn't Scholes say anything to warn Halliwell off?
34:51I don't know.
34:52Neither do I, Geoffrey.
34:54I think Mr. Scholes may be working to a completely different agenda.
34:58Not bad, eh?
35:21I reckon she's nearly as good as she said she was.
35:24Mr. Kenyon?
35:25Mr. Kenyon on the phone for you.
35:27You're right.
35:29Tell her I'll call her back.
35:30Mrs. Kenyon?
35:58Yes?
35:59Dean Scholes.
36:00I'm sorry, my husband's out.
36:02No matter.
36:03It's you I came to see.
36:06Right.
36:07Would you like to leave her your own accord?
36:09Do you want security to deal with you?
36:10When a company employee is seriously injured, Mr. Kenyon,
36:14it's surely your duty to assist inquiries.
36:17I implicated myself in some absurd story,
36:19dreamt of by you.
36:20Do you deny that Russell Halliwell is pestering your wife?
36:23I'm denying you any more of my time.
36:26If I catch either of you spying on me or my wife in the future,
36:28I shall call the police!
36:30Kenyon, what is it?
36:31Paula?
36:36Paula?
36:37Are you all right?
36:40What did he want?
36:44No.
36:45I'm coming now.
36:47Lucy, I'm going out.
36:49See my visitors off the premises, will you?
36:51What do you reckon?
36:57When in doubt, Geoffrey, head for the sound of gunfire.
37:18What do you want?
37:19Who called, Mrs. Kenyon?
37:21Was it Scholes?
37:24We may be able to help you.
37:33Martin?
37:39What the hell you let these to him for?
37:41We need help.
37:42They've come to bury me, stupid!
37:44Well, would you rather deal with that thug?
37:45I said leave it to me, all right?
37:47Oh, and will you be here when he comes again?
37:49Tell us how you got involved with Scholes, Mr. Kenyon.
38:05There's no other way.
38:12Things have been building up between me and Ross Alliwell.
38:15Well, Paula told me not to be drawn,
38:17but I was losing control at work
38:18and starting to doubt her word.
38:21Of course, when the second lot of flowers came,
38:22well,
38:23it just got to me, didn't it?
38:25I have no idea why I confided in Scholes.
38:29Desperation, I suppose.
38:32Go on.
38:34He said he'd have a quiet word with Alliwell for me,
38:37warning him about giving me any more grief.
38:39Scholes said he was going to talk to Alliwell.
38:41Yeah, just talk.
38:44Well, I heard what he'd done.
38:45I couldn't believe it.
38:46Oh, I wasn't expecting the police to call at any minute.
38:48Why?
38:49Well, it would seem like I'd sent Scholes on to him, wouldn't it?
38:52Well, I can see that, yes.
38:54But as long as you hadn't paid him any...
38:58You hadn't, had you?
39:05Scholes told me he had a cash problem.
39:08In return for doing me this favour,
39:10he suggested I buy a load of the bodybuilding rubbish he sells.
39:13Well, he said I could flog it or use it myself.
39:15Well, it was a trap, of course.
39:17And now he wants more money
39:19for keeping quiet about Martin's part in it.
39:23If this comes out, I'll lose me job, the house.
39:28Let me see.
39:30Have you paid any more?
39:31No, no, that's why he came round and threatened Paula.
39:34Well, I told him I haven't got any when I haven't.
39:37But it won't end there.
39:38Tell her.
39:40He wants me to organise something at the warehouse.
39:43Organise what?
39:44A credit account under a false company name
39:47so as he can just roll up
39:49and take what he wants.
39:53I shouldn't be feeling sorry for him.
39:56But caught between Halliwell's stupidity
39:58and this thug, Scholes,
40:00the man had no chance.
40:01I don't do deals, Mrs. Wainthrow.
40:03I know that.
40:06Martin Kenyon's just hoping for some recognition
40:09for helping to bring Scholes to book.
40:12Of course.
40:13Once you explain to Mrs. Halliwell
40:15why her husband was assaulted,
40:17we may be forced to reopen the case.
40:19Kenyon accepts that.
40:21But he'll just have to take his chances.
40:23No promises.
40:26Message understood, Chief Inspector.
40:28I don't know.
40:58That's all right.
41:28I can handle these now.
41:54That's no problem.
41:55I said I can handle it.
41:56Back in a sec.
41:58I'll pick his sustenance.
42:02I'll pick his sustenance.
42:23He's ready.
42:25I'll pick his sustenance.
42:28I'll pick his sustenance.
42:31I'll pick his sustenance.
42:34I'll pick his sustenance.
42:36I'll pick his sustenance.
42:38I'll pick his sustenance.
42:41I'll pick his sustenance.
42:43I'll pick his sustenance.
42:45I'll pick his sustenance.
42:53I'll pick his sustenance.
42:54You all right?
42:54I'll pick his sustenance.
42:58I'll pick his sustenance.
42:59so how long are you going to keep me in suspense what do you mean you were going to discuss things
