00:25.
00:26Morning, old.
00:27What's up?
00:28You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:30I just thought you were Roy.
00:32Actually, I never heard him come in last night.
00:34Do you think I ought to go and wake him up?
00:36Well, he's dry.
00:39Right.
00:40It's time I wasn't here.
00:42You're trying to avoid somebody, are you?
00:43No, I just want to be in work early.
00:45Oh, before Richie finds out about your latest scam.
00:47Yeah, yeah, something like that.
00:51He's not there.
00:53Well, he probably stayed over at the clinic.
00:55Oh, right.
00:56Um, I forgot to say, I'm going to see Kelly after school at the clinic.
01:00Was she only seeing people by appointment?
01:02Yeah, I know.
01:03She sent a message through Mandy.
01:05Mandy, eh?
01:07Oh, well.
01:10Send her my love.
01:12Tell her I'm really looking forward to seeing her.
01:14Or she could always call me.
01:19I thought you had an early start.
01:21As a matter of fact, I have.
01:23There's half a dozen plump young pheasants down by it back.
01:28Not you.
01:29I beg your pardon?
01:30I said I think I'm on the trail of something a bit tasty.
01:34Oh.
01:35You're going to tell us a name, you've got to keep it a secret.
01:37She'll be off to work shortly.
01:40I expect you'll be gone when I get back.
01:43Yep.
01:44Can't sit about here all day.
01:45There's work to be done.
01:46Adoring patrons queuing up for front row seats, even as we speak.
01:50How many nights is it?
01:51Just the two.
01:52Well, it'd be nice to get back to Bradford, though.
01:55Had some marvellous times there, the old days.
01:58I can well imagine.
02:02Glad I caught you.
02:05Well, you don't look it.
02:07We've got a date.
02:09You and me, at our age.
02:11For the court hearing for Randy's adoption.
02:14Oh, aye.
02:16There.
02:17I thought you'd be pleased.
02:19Well, it ought to be a cause for celebration.
02:21Well, then, why don't we celebrate?
02:23I just don't feel good about standing up in front of a judge and lying.
02:27Jack, what are you talking about?
02:29You and me, of course.
02:30What about you and me?
02:31Well, do they know they'd be signing him over to be raised by a couple who don't even...
02:35Jack, plenty of couples live like this.
02:38Really?
02:39I don't see the point.
02:41The point is we stay together so that Robert and Victoria and Andy can have a decent home with two loving parents.
02:48Yeah, well, I suppose we've that in common, at least.
02:52You get to play with big, fat wads of cash.
02:56Think games.
02:57Think Monopoly.
02:58Enjoy yourself.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Bidding for Wiley's farm.
03:01Well, that's got to be a bundle of laughs, isn't it?
03:04Look, there are two things you need to play this game.
03:07Money and nerve.
03:08I supply the money.
03:09The rest is up to you.
03:10Just don't let me down, eh?
03:14Good luck, then.
03:17Right.
03:22She'll be back.
03:24Sorry?
03:25Frankie.
03:26She just needs time.
03:28Time for what?
03:30Time to spend her money.
03:32Well, that shouldn't take too long.
03:35Not on a part-time cleaner's wage.
03:37Or unless you gave her an advance on her pocket money this week.
03:41I suppose it'd be too much to ask you to show a little bit of understanding.
03:45Oh, I think I understand our little friend rather well.
03:48Same as I understand you.
03:49You have it all worked out, have you?
03:51Yeah.
03:52It's very simple.
03:53She's managed to be something you could never be.
03:55Well, you'd better tell me.
03:56I'm no good at riddles.
03:58Well, that is why she comes and goes as she pleases.
04:01She's her own person.
04:03And she thought you were never coming back.
04:06Take no notice of him.
04:08You didn't think I'd gone for good, did you?
04:10She doesn't understand about free spirits.
04:12She'll learn.
04:14Zoe, I needed to call the wool pack.
04:18I didn't quite make it to work this morning.
04:22Please.
04:33Right then, you two, what can we get you?
04:42How about a coffee on the house for an ex-employee and his partner in crime?
04:49You've got a nerve.
04:51Oh, go on, then.
04:53So have you delivered him for the old, er, final reminder.
04:57Just waiting for him on the doormat.
05:00A little hand-gunning present.
05:03Come on.
05:06Betty's got a gentleman caller.
05:08Oh, well, is Betty around?
05:10Just for a minute.
05:11Betty!
05:12Oh, I can only do one thing at once, you know.
05:15I'm not superwoman.
05:17Oh, it's you.
05:19I just came to tell you I'm off.
05:21Wondered if you've got time for a quick cuppa?
05:23Oh, no, far too busy.
05:24Rushed up my feet.
05:25Oh, sit down, the pair of you.
05:27I seem to be cheating half the village as it is this morning.
05:29Go on.
05:30So, you're off, then.
05:32Yep.
05:33Have you, er, got yourself somewhere to stay?
05:36Oh, I shall find somewhere suitable.
05:38Oh, well, if I know you, you'll find an old flame to foist yourself on.
05:43Foist myself?
05:44Madam, you misjudge me.
05:46Well, you're imposing yourself on me as it is.
05:50And on Seth.
05:52Funny you should mention, Seth.
05:55I was just thinking it's about time he heard the, er, the bare facts about...
06:01Mademoiselle Bettina Dupont.
06:04As she was known.
06:05Eh?
06:06Long that you were it.
06:07Aye.
06:08Call them, too.
06:09Would you put it?
06:10I thought things were starting to work up for you.
06:12Huh?
06:13Now you've got Kelly back in land at living.
06:14Aye.
06:15Future a bit brighter, then.
06:16Not the future I'm worried about.
06:17It's the past, mate.
06:18Ah.
06:19Things I should have been told.
06:20That's trouble with life.
06:21You've just sold your own, but you've got your past.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Yeah.
06:33Yeah.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Yeah.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Yeah.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Yeah.
06:46You've got a blast sung over your shoulder, just like an old kit bag.
06:50Then you get married and you open it one night, and you find that wife stuffed a few
06:55of her odds and ends in it.
06:57But what do you do, right, if you find out someone has done something that if you didn't
07:04known about, you know, you'd have done things different?
07:08Ah, well, you can't change what's done, lad.
07:12You can only decide if it's worth worrying about.
07:14Then you have two choices.
07:15Forgive or forget.
07:17Or forget.
07:18And what have you got there either?
07:20Now, I'd have to sit down somewhere warm and comfortable.
07:25And have a long think before I could answer that.
07:28Now, come on, lad.
07:30Come.
07:31Come.
07:32There's no good sitting here freezing to death.
07:34Get your son home and get some dinner inside you.
07:38Come on, Betty.
07:39I can't afford to pay you overtime.
07:41Oh, bless you, Kathy, love.
07:44To tell you the truth, I'm not really looking forward to going back home tonight.
07:50Oh, why?
07:51Well, I've just got a few words to say to Seth.
07:55Oh, been misbehaving himself, has he?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Something like that.
08:25A cup of tea, love?
08:27Ta.
08:32We go back a long way, you and me, Seth.
08:35We do.
08:36I bet you'd say we knew each other pretty well.
08:39Yeah, except you being a mess, you're right to fathom at times.
08:43Of course, there was all that time when we lost touch.
08:48Ah, it seems to matter less as years go past.
08:52Yeah, but some things happened then that I've never spoken of or wanted to.
08:59Well, what's past is best forgotten, ain't it?
09:03Aye, but then again, these things have a way of catching up with you.
09:09Seth, I need to tell you something.
09:15Something that happened a long time ago but might still be painful to you.
09:21And to me.
09:25Well, you'd better get on with it then.
09:27Well, you've probably heard of the Windmill Theatre in London.
09:33Well, looks the lads are cavorting and rounding altogether.
09:37No.
09:38No, not cavorting, Seth.
09:40They were not unseemly.
09:42You wouldn't have caught me up there if there had a been.
09:46You?
09:47I mean...
09:49My one taste of stardom.
09:54Hour 19.
09:57My few weeks of limelight.
10:01It were enough.
10:03Well, I'll...
10:05I'll be...
10:06And it was there that I met...
10:10I met a man.
10:14Is this the bit that I'm going to find painful?
10:18Seth.
10:19I was only a young lass.
10:21I was on me own in London.
10:23I mean, you know nothing about life at that age.
10:26No.
10:29But you think you do.
10:31Things was different then.
10:33There...
10:34There was no one to help alas.
10:36There was no counselling now like that.
10:39And...
10:40Well, you could hardly tell your parents.
10:44I suppose not.
10:46I could put all the blame on him, but...
10:50Well, it takes two.
10:52And he didn't force me if that's what you're thinking.
10:54He was...
10:55A very attractive man.
10:58A charmer.
11:01And is that it?
11:03Some lot, 40 or 50 years ago.
11:05Is that what she was setting you, love?
11:08Oh, I wish that was it, Seth.
11:14Went to see...
11:16This woman.
11:17That's what you did in them days.
11:19Oh, Seth.
11:22I was on me own in London.
11:24You couldn't even get respectable lodgings with a bear.
11:28And let her know and show your face back home.
11:31You know that I would give anything to have had a family.
11:37Oh, I know people think I'm just a nosy old so-and-so.
11:40But I have a lot of caring in me, Seth.
11:45That's why I take an interest in folk and the families.
11:49I care.
11:50I've never...
11:51I've never had a...
11:57a little one of my own to...
12:01to fret over.
12:04Because...
12:06after that woman...
12:09I never could.
12:12And I...
12:16I have.
12:17I've tried to forget it.
12:19Over all these years.
12:21But...
12:23But now...
12:25Now what, love?
12:27Well...
12:29You wouldn't think it were possible.
12:32Think what were possible?
12:35That it'd...
12:37turn up under this roof.
12:38Reggie.
12:48That man in London.
12:50It was Reggie.
13:08Oh, I hope you've got good news, mate.
13:11He's not at his best, is he, Peter?
13:13Aye. He's just had a right go at me.
13:15Oh, thanks, lads. That's all I needed.
13:17I understand.
13:18Oh, you don't mean it's bad news.
13:20Well, what am I bloody fault?
13:21Can we just have a bit of quiet, please?
13:23I think I'll get away.
13:25Aye. Before the storm breaks.
13:27Yeah, all right. Point taken.
13:29Friday. But try and be on time, yeah?
13:31Idiot.
13:32You're on, mate.
13:34Well?
13:36Well, er...
13:37Thing is, er...
13:39Well, I mean, er...
13:40Bidding went out of control.
13:42Well, first there was this, er...
13:43couple of city types,
13:44and then this, er...
13:45woman came in, then she dropped out.
13:47Look, I love a good story...
13:49as much as the next man.
13:51But how much?
13:53Well, I went to our...
13:54your limit, and...
13:56that were it.
13:57Just like that.
13:58Well, what else could I do?
13:59Bidding against this other bloke?
14:01What other bloke?
14:02Well, that's what I didn't get.
14:04I mean, when the whole thing started, er...
14:06farm machinery and that,
14:07he were up there pointing out different lots.
14:09Oh, auctioneer's sidekick.
14:11Bidding by proxy.
14:13I wonder who for?
14:15I did my best, Chris.
14:17Yeah?
14:18Well, it obviously wasn't enough.
14:20It weren't my fault!
14:22Relax, I'm talking about the money.
14:24Not you.
14:26Anyway, you win some, you lose some.
14:28Just a bit of land.
14:29I thought you'd be gutted.
14:31No, you can't be paying over the odds.
14:34And you have no idea who he's bidding for?
14:37No.
14:39Right.
14:40Well, I'd better be on my way.
14:42I'm gonna see Kenny.
14:44You're honoured.
14:45She ain't seen her mother yet.
14:47Would you?
14:54All this time, you let me sit here with him...
14:56cracking jokes and supping ale.
15:00I never thought to tell me.
15:02It's galling, that is.
15:04Do you think you weren't uppermost in my mind, Seth?
15:08I thought that if I tried to ignore him, he'd go away, but he didn't.
15:13He kept turning up.
15:15Weedling this way back in.
15:18Me sitting here.
15:20Be a cuckoo in flaming nest.
15:23I don't like it, Betty.
15:26What you gonna do?
15:28I can't do no yet.
15:30I've got to gather me thoughts.
15:36Well, it's not the Ritz.
15:39But it's not bad compared to some I see.
15:44Sorry, I should have bought you something.
15:45You paid for the room, didn't you?
15:48Feels weird being in a private place.
15:51But thanks.
15:53I owed you something, didn't I?
15:55I mean, I'm as much to blame as anyone.
15:57What do you mean?
15:59I seem to remember telling you you needed to get out of the hole you're in.
16:03Well, you were right though, weren't you?
16:05I just didn't need to go this far.
16:07I can see it now.
16:09I was just running away from my problems.
16:12And now it's time to face up to them.
16:15Have you talked to anyone?
16:17Mandy, Roy.
16:19My sister was in at tea time.
16:21They're all weighing on me going home, and I don't want to let them down, but...
16:26But what?
16:27I want to make a clean break.
16:29Start again.
16:30London, I suppose.
16:33It's a big place.
16:34Well, that's what I want.
16:36Somewhere where nobody knows anything about me.
16:39Where I ain't got history.
16:41And you're sure it's just not another way of escaping?
16:44Look, if I'd had somewhere to go, I might not have ended up in here.
16:47I can help you, if you want me to.
16:51I was kind of open.
16:54But you know what people will say, don't you?
16:56What? About you and me?
16:58No, about you.
17:00They will say that you've come out pretty well from all this.
17:03What do you mean?
17:05That you came up on top.
17:07Almost as if you knew all along how to get what you wanted.
17:10But I never planned it.
17:12That was half the problem. I couldn't see a way out. I panicked.
17:15Look, it's different now.
17:17I know what I need to do.
17:19I thought it through.
17:20But you don't know what it's like down there.
17:23Okay, look, I can fix you up with a job if you're determined.
17:27But don't let me down.
17:30Or yourself.
17:32I'll own it.
17:33What brought this on?
17:34Oh, I always promised myself I'd take it up again one day.
17:44What's up with you?
17:46Oh, don't get me wrong like it. I'm not suggesting out it.
17:51Just that my old grandma always used to say,
17:54when a woman of a certain age took up knitting.
17:57Oh, Zach, I am not expecting.
18:01All right.
18:07What?
18:09It's just that now we've got Belle sleeping at night,
18:13it'd be nice to think that I've got you all to myself.
18:17Oh, Zach.
18:19That's what you look forward to, isn't it, when you're getting older.
18:23As the kids grow up.
18:24Aye.
18:26Just the two of us.
18:27By the fireside.
18:29All nice and cosy.
18:31All forks together.
18:34Well, aye.
18:37And.
18:40And?
18:42Well, you're not all.
18:47No sign of our friend cracking up under the stream then.
18:52What?
18:53When he reads the letter, comes over all flustered and goes,
18:56oh, oh, do you may have a sudden compulsion to give this all to the townsfolk?
19:01Oi!
19:03There's no need to be flippant.
19:05This is a murderer we're dealing with.
19:10We have to find a way of escalating the pressure somehow.
19:14What about doing a bit of digging?
19:15What do you mean?
19:17What do you mean?
19:18Digging up his wife's body?
19:19No!
19:20Duh!
19:21No!
19:22Digging around!
19:23You're not background research!
19:24He's from down south, isn't he?
19:25Oh.
19:26Oh, St, er, Neil.
19:27St Albans!
19:28St Albans!
19:29St Albans!
19:30Right.
19:31Why don't you go down there?
19:32Visit the public library.
19:33Back numbers of the local paper.
19:35Cause of death.
19:36Reports from the inquest.
19:38Yeah.
19:41Yes, I was only thinking the other day.
19:42It's about time I had another antiques roadshow.
19:47See if I can offload some of these white elephants.
19:50There.
19:53Er, I need to talk.
19:55Oh.
19:56And there was I hoping.
19:57It was just my body you were after.
19:58I want to know where I stand with you.
20:01What do you think?
20:03I'm thinking all kinds of things.
20:05Graham!
20:08I like you.
20:10Surely you've picked up that much by now.
20:16Is there something else?
20:19I'm starting to think that I'd be better off out of the village.
20:22Why?
20:23I just think that some people seem to want to keep dragging up the past.
20:27Graham, there's bound to be small-minded people.
20:29What do they hope to achieve?
20:32Probably the very thing you're offering them on a plate.
20:36What do you mean?
20:37Well, maybe they want you to leave and you'll be playing right into their hands.
20:41But I want to get out, Cathy.
20:43And I want you to come with me.
20:45I want us to start a new life.
20:47I've thought it all through and...
