00:00I love you
02:30Here's your bag.
02:31Hop in, then.
02:33You don't mind cats, do you?
02:45Mr. Rolfe, I have a confession to make.
02:48Hmm?
02:50Hmm?
02:56Yeah.
02:57Yes.
02:58Because, well, we imagined ourselves to be strangers in the night, right?
03:05So, what's changed?
03:07Yes.
03:09I now know who you are.
03:12You know my name, yes, but...
03:14All evening I've been urging you to stand up and fight for your rights against this unreasonable
03:19partner of yours.
03:20Yeah.
03:21You were so right.
03:24Mr. Rolfe.
03:28Jack.
03:32Oh, dear.
03:33I know I shouldn't laugh, but it really is ridiculous.
03:36This unreasonable partner of yours happens to be my son-in-law, and I adore him.
03:46Well, Mr. Rolfe, since I've now got you safely into bed, I think I've earned myself a drink.
03:52Don't you?
03:53A large scotch.
03:58A large scotch.
04:06A large scotch.
04:24Good morning, Leo.
04:25Hello, Mrs. Urquhart.
04:26Is Abby in?
04:27Abby?
04:28Why do you ask?
04:29Seems she called round at our place last night to see me, but I was out, so I thought
04:33I'd look in on my way to work.
04:34Oh, she probably wanted to tell you she was going away for a while, visiting friends.
04:39Oh, I see.
04:40How long is she likely to be away?
04:42Oh, she'll be dropping me a line in a day or two.
04:45Oh, well, right.
04:46Thanks very much.
04:49Bye, then.
04:52Oh, Leo.
04:54If you should happen to hear from her, perhaps you'd let me know.
04:57Yes, of course.
04:59Young people these days often seem in closer touch with each other than with their parents.
05:03Goodbye, Leo, and thank you for calling.
05:16No need for your good morning.
05:19Dad, are you all right?
05:23Where are you?
05:27Yes.
05:28Yes, I know it.
05:31Yes, all right.
05:31I've got it.
05:33But what on earth?
05:36All right.
05:37I'm setting up now, okay?
05:41I'm sorry, Tom.
05:43But you'll have to hold the fort for an hour or so.
05:45That was Dad.
05:46Sure I gather.
05:46What's happened?
05:48He had a bit of an accident last night.
05:50Some good Samaritan looked after him.
05:52I'm sorry, Tom.
05:53I'll have to pick him up.
05:54Is he all right?
05:56So he says.
05:59Except for a thick head, which he doesn't say.
06:04When did I ever say anything about shacking up, eh?
06:06All right, then.
06:07You didn't say it, but you did ask me to move in, and that gives me certain rights.
06:11If you think you can promote yourself into the common law wife league, then you'd better
06:15think again.
06:17Six weeks humping your knees underneath the kitchen table doesn't mean a ruddy thing
06:20round here.
06:21Don't be common.
06:22No, that's what it is, isn't it?
06:23No, I'm telling you.
06:24This is my pad, and I want it to myself.
06:26So time is up.
06:27It is over.
06:30You're a right pig, you are.
06:32Think you can just pick up a girl and have your way, and then drop her?
06:35Have my way?
06:36Oh, do me a favour, you couldn't wait to get your clothes off.
06:43Well, what am I supposed to do, then?
06:45I haven't got anywhere to go.
06:47I gave up my place, didn't I?
06:48I said I'd give you some money.
06:50You think you can buy away out of everything?
06:52Well, nobody's proved otherwise yet.
06:54Well, you can't buy me.
06:55Do you want a demonstration?
06:56Look, I said I'd look after you, right?
06:59Now, don't come the possessive bit, because I don't like it.
07:06But, Ken, I haven't got anywhere to go.
07:11It'll take me a few days to find a place to live.
07:13Flats don't grow on trees, you know.
07:15Ever heard of hotels?
07:16They cost money.
07:17Look, I said I'd see you all right.
07:19Now, get off my back, because I've got to get to work.
07:23It's her, isn't it?
07:24That Jan person in your office.
07:25She is a married woman!
07:27So?
07:28So shut the door when you leave.
07:37Thank you, Mrs. Harvey.
07:38That was a Christian act.
07:40I'm very grateful.
07:41Don't be.
07:42I enjoyed your company.
07:43Get a bit short on conversation, end up talking to myself.
07:47You won't forget our bet, will you?
07:48What bet's that?
07:50This man has accepted my odds so that he could lay off the booze if and when he needed to.
07:55I shall hold you to that, Mr. Rolfe.
07:57It's a bit different than the cold light of day, but I'll stick to the bargain.
08:02Glad to hear it.
08:06Thank you, Mrs. Harvey.
08:07I'll try and keep him on the straight and narrow.
08:10Don't.
08:10He has to learn who has the reins.
08:13Himself.
08:22I do hope all goes well for you.
08:25Both of them.
08:32Top.
08:40He's got a blank.
08:47Problems?
08:49Nothing we can't put, really.
08:51Well, what's the damage?
08:55Well, make a list and see Jack when he comes in.
08:58When he comes in.
08:59If he comes in.
09:00If he comes in?
09:01That's the trouble with this yard.
09:03Everything's tomorrow, next week, next month, sometime, never.
09:06Now make a list of the repairs, Bill, and bring it to me.
09:09I'll deal with it, as I'm the only one here to do so.
09:11But Jack always does the estimates.
09:13And how many jobs do we lose, because he's not here?
09:17We're not the only yard in the area, you know.
09:19Now, quick as you can, please.
09:21It's not too much to ask.
09:25Oh, isn't it?
09:44Oh!
09:45I thought you said this was your day off.
09:47It is my day off.
09:49But I left a bit of a mess last night.
09:51It's not fair on the others.
09:53Uh-huh.
09:53So what are you doing when you're finished?
09:55I'm going to see my...
09:58Nothing special.
09:59Why?
09:59Right.
10:00Get your gear together.
10:01You're sailing with me.
10:03Have you got a crew?
10:04Yes.
10:05Mike Dawson, Charlie Somerbell, Mike's girlfriend, me, and you, if you're up for it.
10:10Well, how long have I got?
10:12Forty minutes.
10:13Chop, chop.
10:14Make the tide.
10:15Oh.
10:18I'll be there.
10:29Morning.
10:30Morning.
10:31I've seen the gear upstairs.
10:33Uh-huh.
10:34What do you think?
10:35Uh, it's all right, yeah.
10:36Not too pricey.
10:37It was the best I could find.
10:39I think it'll give us the widest range around here.
10:42But we'll have to do an awful lot better if we're going to make a big splash.
10:46Ken?
10:47Yeah?
10:48Are you listening?
10:49I'm sorry.
10:51What's up?
10:51Wrong side of bed?
10:53Wrong bed, fellow.
10:54Ah.
10:56I had a lovely evening last night.
10:59I think that was part of the trouble.
11:02She doesn't take too kindly to being on her own, especially when I'm out dancing the night
11:06away with somebody else.
11:07Well, I can't say I blame her.
11:09Well, I don't like birds who get possessive on the strength of a couple of weeks of How's
11:13Your Father.
11:14You really are the ultimate MCP, aren't you?
11:16Oh.
11:17Oh, I play ball with that.
11:19Show them a good time.
11:20Plenty of laughs.
11:22Treat them like royalty and bingo.
11:24After a couple of weeks, they think they're home and dry and running the show.
11:26Well, you can't blame them for hoping.
11:30Do you know, I really don't think you like women at all.
11:34You just want to score.
11:36Ah, I respect some.
11:37Not many, though.
11:38Too right.
11:40As a matter of fact, I respect you.
11:43A lot.
11:45Oh, hadn't you noticed?
11:47Yes, I'd noticed.
11:50I've arranged to see my mother this lunchtime.
11:52I'd quite like to stay the afternoon.
11:55Is that all right with you?
11:57Take as much time as you want.
12:09I have a friend of yours calling in around noon.
12:12Oh?
12:13Who?
12:14Gerald Erkuhart.
12:16Polly's husband.
12:17What's he like?
12:18I don't know him, really.
12:19He spends most of his time in the city.
12:21It's Polly I know quite well.
12:23And it's Erkert.
12:25Erkert.
12:25Are they, Erkert?
12:27Erkert.
12:28Erkert.
12:33Erkert.
12:37All right, all right.
12:39Why didn't you say?
12:41I don't think I need to say anything.
12:44I've seen it coming.
12:46You're just lucky not to have been involved in a serious accident with another car.
12:51I wasn't concentrating.
12:54I was thinking.
12:56You were drunk.
12:58You were drunk.
12:59And if you don't admit it, I'm going to stop the car and you can get out right now.
13:06Okay, so I had a few drinks.
13:09So why didn't you leave the car at the pub and take a taxi home?
13:12I was quite capable of...
13:17Well, I was fine when I set off.
13:20The only good thing to have come out of this is that it might have made you realize what
13:24you're turning into.
13:25Oh, don't be bloody ridiculous.
13:29I just like a drink.
13:30Doesn't everyone?
13:31A drink?
13:33A drink?
13:35The whole day, the whole night's one long drink to you.
13:47So I hope you didn't say anything else?
13:49Not only she left me this note.
13:52Just goodbye.
13:55Yeah, I suppose so.
13:57Cheers, Dad.
14:02Sharp!
14:03Hi.
14:05I'm going sailing for the day.
14:06Can you let Mum know?
14:07Only I said I might go over to Grans with her, but I can't now.
14:10Yeah, okay.
14:10Who are you crewing for?
14:12Phil Norton.
14:12Going up the Mickey Mouse again.
14:17Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
14:19Oh, stick to your pumps.
14:29Apple, hello there.
14:30Morning, Rio.
14:31Five gallons of four-star, please.
14:33Coming up.
14:45You were right about Dad.
14:47He had a bit of an accident.
14:49He's okay, is he?
14:50Oh, yeah, he's all right.
14:51A bit shaken up, but that'll do him good.
14:54But his car...
14:55What happened?
14:56It appears to have run out of road.
14:59Anyone else involved?
15:00No.
15:01Where's this car, then?
15:02In a ditch by Chapman's Meadow.
15:04Yeah, I know it.
15:06Look, Leo.
15:08Is there any chance you can tow it back here?
15:10Sure.
15:13Hi.
15:15Thanks.
15:20Sorry I'm late.
15:21It's all right.
15:22That's Charlie, Jane, Mike, Lynn.
15:25Hi.
15:27All right?
15:43Thank you, daughter.
16:01Hello, hello, hello.
16:04Do I smell money?
16:06Ask your new partner.
16:07He's already done the estimate.
16:09He's done what?
16:32Morning.
16:36When did this happen?
16:38Sometime last night, I think.
16:39Why?
16:40Who's the owner?
16:42Mr. Rolf.
16:42Mermaid Boatyard at Tarrant.
16:45When did he get in touch with you about shifting it?
16:47This morning.
16:49All in person, did he?
17:17You haven't done anything about that yet, have you?
17:20Yes.
17:22I phoned the owner with the estimate.
17:24She seemed to be quite happy.
17:25Quite happy?
17:26She'd be over the moon.
17:27Six hundred and fifty for a job that's worth at least nine hundred.
17:31Are you serious?
17:32Nine hundred?
17:34For repairs to a boat that probably cost no more than two hundred new?
17:37New?
17:38Have you any idea when that boat was built?
17:39No?
17:40Then I'll tell you.
17:41She was built in Graveney's yard in nineteen hundred and twenty-seven.
17:44There's a plate inside the transom, but you obviously missed it.
17:48A Graveney?
17:52A Graveney?
17:53There can't be more than...
17:54In nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, Graveney built only three boats in her class.
17:58A year later, he skipped off to Australia and never built another XOD in his life.
18:03That boat's a museum piece, man.
18:05It's maritime history.
18:07She's carvel-built, silver spruce spars, teat swarts, and good old copper fastens.
18:13It's a boat builder's dream.
18:15And you're quibbling about nine hundred for repairs.
18:18Why, the boat's worth five times as much as that as she stands been.
18:20Look, Jack, I'm sorry.
18:23I didn't realize just what she was, all right?
18:25Yeah, well, you better get back on the owner then and give her the bad news, haven't you?
18:30Oh, and for your information, she won't take a custom anywhere else
18:34because she knows there's only one boatyard round here that can do the job properly.
18:39Mine.
18:50Well, that'll do all right.
18:51Tuesday at eleven-thirty.
18:55The circuit.
18:57Please come in.
19:05Do sit down.
19:07I won't be a moment.
19:15Now, would you like to tell me something about yourself?
19:22What can I do to help?
19:26I want a job.
19:45What's that spinnaker, love?
19:52Considerable area you own, Mr. Masters.
19:56You're to be congratulated.
19:58So tell me something about your interest in it.
20:01Well, briefly, I'm on the board of three property companies.
20:05One's in the city, another is based in Bristol.
20:07And the third, the newest, is just making its presence felt here in Hampshire.
20:12Its chairman is a man called Charles Freire,
20:16and he's interested in shoreline development.
20:18And that interest would include my garage and warehouse, wouldn't it?
20:21Well, let me be more precise.
20:22We're talking about two principal blocks of real estate holdings.
20:25Now, the buildings themselves mean nothing to us.
20:28But they do constitute investment factors as far as I'm concerned.
20:30Oh, indeed.
20:32However, the land itself, which is a sizable property...
20:35For which I have planning permission.
20:37Right, sir.
20:38As I was about to say.
20:40Your development permissions extend to the roadway bordering the eastern side of the holding,
20:46but preclude waterside development and infilling.
20:52Which we would require.
20:53Oh, I shouldn't let that worry you.
20:55There are ways and means.
20:57There always are, Mr. Masters.
20:59I'm quite sure you know the ways.
21:01However, I hope you will not think me impertinent if I question whether you have the means.
21:06Now, the syndicate that I represent has.
21:09Together, we could probably arrive at a mutually agreeable arrangement.
21:12Possibly.
21:14Now, I wouldn't want to waste anybody's time.
21:16And if your Mr. Frere thinks he can buy me out just like that, then forget it.
21:19I'm not interested.
21:21But if we're talking about jointly exploiting the site as a marina, then I'd be very interested to meet Mr.
21:27Frere.
21:28Because I don't think you can move without my bit.
21:31I don't know that I would go as far as to say that.
21:33Oh, I would.
21:34You can't build either side because it's shed your land.
21:37You can't build round it.
21:38I'm right in the middle.
21:40Well, I think we need each other, Gerald.
21:43Don't you?
21:56Where's Lynn?
21:57Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
21:58She had the chance to go sailing.
22:00You know what she's like.
22:01Anyway, it was sweet of you to come.
22:03Especially when you're so busy.
22:05I felt it was time I thanked you properly for being such a help in the home.
22:09Bit of cooking.
22:10Nonsense.
22:12Well, it did make all the difference.
22:14And the family do love seeing you.
22:17I don't know what I should do without my visits now.
22:20I admit that your academic background is beyond question.
22:24Far in excess of anything we should require.
22:26I don't meet many girls educated at Benenden and finishing school in Switzerland.
22:32Well, it wasn't my job.
22:33No, no reproof is intended, I assure you.
22:36Just seems curious.
22:40You haven't answered my initial question, you know.
22:43Why do you want to work for social services?
22:48It seems worthwhile.
22:51I mean, I...
22:52Yes?
22:54It's something that means something.
22:57I just feel I want to be useful.
22:59Drat.
23:01Excuse me.
23:05My predecessor would have told you that doing good, helping others, or trying to, was not intended
23:12as a therapy for those needing help themselves.
23:15I'm not in a position to be so forthright.
23:18After the latest round of cutbacks, I'm grateful to have anybody, particularly if the money's not
23:24important to them.
23:26Does your family give you an allowance, or do you have independent means?
23:30No.
23:31I was hoping to be paid.
23:33Oh, I see.
23:35Well, it doesn't have to be much.
23:38When did you want to start?
23:40Now.
23:43This afternoon, if you want.
23:50This is delicious.
23:52You are clever.
23:53Eighty-five pence at Nellie's Pantry down the road.
23:57I don't believe it.
23:58As I live and breathe.
24:04Darling, I don't suppose you've heard yet, but you're bound to soon.
24:08Heard?
24:09Heard what?
24:11I had a guest here last night.
24:13All night.
24:16Jack Rolf.
24:19By the way, Charles Freer will be down here in a couple of weeks' time.
24:22I want to get you two together.
24:24I'll bring the accountant along, too.
24:26You may know him.
24:26Jimmy Deverell?
24:28Deverell.
24:28Deverell.
24:29I know the name, yes.
24:31Didn't he buy Tom Howard's boat?
24:33I shouldn't believe everything you hear, old boy.
24:35He was just standing in for an interested party, eh?
24:39I'll give you a bell when I've spoken to Freer.
24:41Yeah, right.
24:42Bye-bye.
24:43Gero.
25:03Dawn.
25:04Ken here.
25:06Listen, darling.
25:07I want to apologise for this morning.
25:08I was a little bit out of order, you know, and I'd been thinking about it, and I thought
25:12perhaps you'd like to stay on for a couple of days till you've got things sorted out,
25:16you know?
25:17No, no, no.
25:17It's all right.
25:18And I wondered if you'd like to come out to dinner this evening.
25:23No problem at all.
25:25Listen, Dawn, darling.
25:26I wondered if you could do me a bit of a favour.
25:29Yeah, I'd like you to go into Fairham and call at an office for me.
25:33So there I was, urging him to get off his backside and fight the good fight against his disloyal
25:38daughter and his wrong-headed partner.
25:41And all the time he was talking about your Tom and Avril Rolf.
25:45But when you told him who you were, how did he react?
25:47He was thunderstruck at first.
25:49Then to give him his due, he saw the funny side.
25:52We ended up having drinks and sandwiches at two this morning.
25:57But does he really hate Tom?
25:59Oh, no, no, no.
26:00Just wallowing in self-pity.
26:02And that's no good for man nor beast.
26:06So, how was it left?
26:08Well, he swore to live a godly, righteous and sober life in the future.
26:12For what that's worth.
26:14What does Tom feel about him?
26:17I don't really know.
26:19I'm getting disgusted.
26:21Don't tell me you're not speaking.
26:23No, it's not as bad as all that.
26:25Though we are a trifle wary of each other at the moment.
26:29Avoidance rather than confrontation is the order of the day.
26:32But sometimes it does flare up and then...
26:35Darling, don't be too hard on him.
26:37He must be desperately worried about this step he's taken.
26:40Not to mention the effect on his family.
26:43Yes.
26:44Well, I suppose all relationships go through their bad patches.
27:09Oh, hello.
27:17Mr. Rokut.
27:19It's Leo Howard.
27:21Um, did Abby leave an address where she could be reached?
27:25No.
27:26And you see, Abby...
27:28Yes, I understand that.
27:31Yes.
27:33Sorry to have bothered you.
27:36Good night.
27:49There you go.
27:50Thanks.
27:51Thanks for coming.
27:53You sail well.
27:55I had a great time.
27:56She's a lovely boat.
27:57I envy you.
28:00Sure there's nothing else I can do?
28:01No, go on.
28:02We can put her to bed.
28:03Okay.
28:03Listen, do you fancy coming out again tomorrow?
28:06Tomorrow?
28:08I'm supposed to be working.
28:10Oh, hang on a minute.
28:11I stood in for Maggie last Friday.
28:13Yes, I can get her to take it.
28:14I'd love to.
28:15Good.
28:15Same time.
28:16Great.
28:17See you tomorrow.
28:18Bye.
28:19See you then.
28:20Bye, James.
28:21Bye.
28:30Bye.
28:31Hello.
28:32Everybody out?
28:34Unless you include me.
28:35Yes.
28:37Mmm.
28:38You smell good.
28:39Where have you been?
28:40Alan Bay.
28:42Had a wonderful time.
28:44Phil Norton asked me to crew for him in the Mickey Mouse.
28:47She's beautiful.
28:49Money does help.
28:50We're going out again tomorrow, if the weather's all right.
28:53I thought you had a job.
28:55My day off today, and I've managed to swap tomorrow afternoon with Maggie.
29:00Sounds like Mum's car.
29:02What's for dinner?
29:03Don't ask me.
29:05Ask her.
29:08They didn't want to help at first.
29:10I asked her what my interest was.
29:12So I said I worked for Matthew's Marine.
29:15Well, I did, didn't I?
29:16Well, six years ago, yes.
29:18But who's counting?
29:19And they weren't what you said they were, either.
29:22They're solicitors.
29:23Did you check the marine register?
29:26Didn't have to.
29:27They had it all there, once they got them started.
29:30I think the old trout fancied me a bit, actually.
29:32Yes, all right.
29:33Get on with it, dumb.
29:34Hmm?
29:35Yes, well, anyway, I made out like the previous owner had been negotiating for an engine.
29:40An auxiliary engine?
29:42That's what Matthew's Marine sell, dummy.
29:45Anyway, they thought about it, and then they decided to come clean.
29:49It's all there, on the paper.
29:51Hmm?
29:52Oh, yes.
29:56Well, I can't read this scribble.
30:03The document that was exchanged says,
30:05J.D. Deverell, Mapleton Row, Chichester.
30:08Mm-hmm.
30:08But there was another document, Bill of Sale or something,
30:11which says this Deverell fellow was really an agent for someone else.
30:14And that's the person named in the register.
30:17See?
30:17Miss Avril Rolfe, Thatch Cottage, Tarrant.
30:30Didn't I do well?
30:32You did very well, Bill.
30:35Jack Rolfe.
30:36Jack?
30:37With Kate?
30:38Yes.
30:39Well, it was just one of those coincidences.
30:41But I think she rather liked him.
30:44Are you two really not getting on well together?
30:46Oh, no, it's not too bad.
30:47We just disagree over fundamentals, like what makes a boatyard viable.
30:51Well, take it slowly, Tom.
30:53It is his yard.
30:54He's bound to resent new ideas from outsiders.
30:56I'm not an outsider, Jan.
30:57I'm his partner.
30:58He was headed straight for liquidation.
31:01Then we're going to need everything I can earn from Ken Masterson.
31:04Oh, just don't take on any more hours.
31:06But we've got to have something coming in.
31:07I'm doing everything I can, Tom.
31:12Yes, love.
31:13I know.
31:14And I do appreciate it.
31:16Look, if the German repair contract comes in on time, that'll take care of the short term.
31:20Then I can set about getting the whole yard into gear.
31:22Yes, but it's still ifs and buts.
31:24It may look like that to you, yes.
31:28Bear with me.
31:37What are you working on?
31:38That's the idea for the new design.
31:41She's an ultralight displacement boat.
31:44A what?
31:44Oh.
31:45I'll tell you more about it when it's a bit further advanced.
31:48If you can spare time from the chandlery keeping the wolf from the door.
31:51What the wolf?
31:54Tom, the day I understand boats, you can buy me a new fur coat.
32:01I shouldn't worry.
32:03It's not very likely anyway.
32:18Does everyone always go to the pub at lunchtime?
32:21Oh, Dad does.
32:22Usually with Bill Sayers.
32:25I tend to get sandwiches and have a sort of working lunch.
32:28Sometimes a pub.
32:30Sometimes I go along the river a bit and sit by the water.
32:33Well, that sounds much better.
32:35Do you mind if I come?
32:37No, of course not.
32:38I'd enjoy the company.
32:40I'll send Davey across to get some food and something to drink.
32:43Beer, do.
32:44Mine's a pint of cake.
32:45I was talking about lunch.
32:47So was I.
32:48Have you got a minute?
32:48I'd like you to have a look at these.
32:49Yeah, sure.
32:59Oh, hello, Leo.
33:00Do you want your dad?
33:02Oh, no, it was you I wanted to see.
33:04About your cottage.
33:06The decorating.
33:07Oh, of course.
33:09Well, come on in then.
33:11I got those colour charts.
33:13If you pick what you want.
33:14Colours, I mean.
33:15I can work out how much you need and get them.
33:17Well, you, Howard, certainly believe in getting on with things.
33:20Can I take these home?
33:21I want to match them up with the curtain material.
33:23Yes, of course.
33:23Shall I call round this evening or is that too soon?
33:26No, that's fine.
33:27About seven.
33:27Great.
33:29See you then.
33:32Bye.
33:33Seven.
33:34Right.
33:36Anybody aboard?
33:43Hello.
33:45Dead on time.
33:46Stare your bag below and we'll be off.
33:48Right.
33:50Where are Mike and the others?
33:51I thought I'd see how you'd cope if we were racing shorthanded.
33:54Put you under a bit of pressure.
33:56Do you mind?
33:57No, I suppose not.
33:59You haven't fixed your crew.
34:01For the fast net, I mean.
34:03Not yet.
34:04It depends on several things.
34:09We'll make for the needles, have a picnic, and then race her home.
34:14Right.
34:25Lynn and I enjoyed our sailing the flying fish in the evening.
34:32It's so damn strange.
34:35Why should a man like Devil buy something so good and expensive and never use her?
34:42We can have some more beer.
35:17This is what I'd like to be doing all the time.
35:20What, boozing and guzzling in the sun?
35:23No, sailing.
35:25Ah.
35:26Oh, of course, it's great on a day like this.
35:28But I enjoy the rough weather.
35:30It's exciting.
35:32Gets the adrenaline going.
35:34Well, up to a point.
35:35Until it gets uncomfortable.
35:38I think you're a bit of a poser, Phil.
35:40If you can't stand discomfort, why have you entered for the fast net?
35:48Hello, Dennis.
35:50How's the wife?
35:50She's fine, thank you.
35:51Okay.
35:52See you, Nick.
35:53And if the wretched girl goes off like that, I really don't see why we should call out
35:57the fire brigade.
35:58Yes, but Abby is our daughter.
36:00She's insufferable.
36:01It only goes to show there's something to be said for the pill.
36:04Come on, darling.
36:05That's a bit strong.
36:07Oh, well, I suppose you better find out what's happened to her, Gerald.
36:10I mean, what would happen if she got in trouble with the police?
36:12What would our friends say?
36:14And it wouldn't do your standing any good with those boards you claim to spend all your
36:18time working on?
36:19That I do spend all my time working on.
36:21Whatever you say, my darling.
36:23I fail.
36:23Hello, Mike.
36:24Hello, Gerald.
36:25Hello, Michael.
36:26Hi, Sylvia.
36:27Hi, Dave.
36:27Yes.
36:28Well, she's not with Leo Howard, because he doesn't know where she is either.
36:32Did she know anyone else?
36:33No, and that's why I think you ought to make inquiry.
36:35Me?
36:36Well, I'm not.
36:37Hey, listen.
36:39I hear you've been hobnobbing with Ken Masters.
36:42What's all that about?
36:43Hmm?
36:44Just a little bit of business going.
36:45You think there's a little bit of business going between him and Jan Howard?
36:48No, no.
36:49Oh, come on, darling.
36:50They are together every day now, and he's very sexy.
36:55Oh, wouldn't it be lovely if we had a teeny-weeny scandal?
36:58I get so bored with this dreary place.
37:02Why don't you get yourself a little job, like Jan Howard?
37:06And my own living, darling.
37:09Charity work?
37:10Hardly the charitable type.
37:12Not what I've heard.
37:13Oh, thank you very much, sweetheart.
37:17Polly, what exactly do you want?
37:20What do I want from you?
37:22Another nice big drink.
37:38Isn't it time we were going?
37:42Oh, who wants to go?
37:44Just you.
37:45I think we should.
37:53Is this the only reason you invited me?
37:55Of course.
37:57Now's when you show me what you can really do.
37:59Oh, no, I don't.
38:01You can forget that.
38:02Oh, God.
38:03A professional virgin?
38:04No, Mr. Norton.
38:05A professional sailor.
38:06So can we race back now, please?
38:09We'll go when I want to.
38:12Suit yourself.
38:15Hey!
38:20Bitch.
38:34How are you off the view?
38:44You'll have heard I met Kate Harvey, your mother-in-law, I understand.
38:50Yes, I heard.
38:52I like her.
38:53She's a likable woman.
38:55She speaks very well of you, too.
38:58She was very good to me the other night when I had my little mishap.
39:03I shall probably be seeing her again.
39:05Oh, yeah?
39:07Well, that's not going to change anything between you and me.
39:10Jack, we're partners who've had a policy disagreement.
39:14Does that make us enemies?
39:15I thought we both had the welfare of the yard as our priority.
39:18It's been my priority for years.
39:20But it's my yard, and I do things my way.
39:23Not anymore, it isn't.
39:26You asked me to come in here.
39:29Don't forget that.
39:31Now we have to work together.
39:34All right.
39:36Let's start back talking.
39:50About time we called it a day, isn't it?
39:52Just want to check through this.
39:54Won't be a minute.
39:55Nice evening to go for a sail.
39:58Not that you go much for that sort of thing.
40:00No, I leave that to Tom and Lynn.
40:02I suspect you're Tom, eh?
40:03Did giving up his boat?
40:06Not that it's really gone, though, is it?
40:08I mean, it's there for him to use whenever he wants to.
40:11Smart move on Avril's part, that.
40:13Sort of makes him feel obligated.
40:15I'm sorry, Ken.
40:17I don't understand what you mean.
40:18Avril Rolfe, buying her husband's boat.
40:21Very friendly gesture.
40:22You must think a lot of him.
40:25Ken, I don't know what you're talking about.
40:27A man called Devril or something bought the flying fish.
40:30Oh, is that what he told you?
40:34Oh, I'm sorry.
40:35I didn't know it was a secret.
40:38I think you'd better tell me all you know.
40:49Yeah, all right.
40:50Good night, Bill.
40:57Hello, Leo.
40:58Oh, hello.
40:59Got something in your eye?
41:01Yes, just an eyelash.
41:03All right now?
41:04Yes, fine, thanks.
41:05Come on in, then.
41:07Come on in.
41:08Come on in.
41:12Come on in.
41:12Come on in.
41:12Come on in.
41:14Come on in.
41:14Come on in.
41:14I thought we'd strip these walls, have them painted a really nice, pastely colour.
41:22But in here, I'd like to find a paper that's a bit more me, don't you think?
41:26I can go into Southampton and borrow some books for you to look at.
41:29I'm going in anyway.
41:30Great.
41:32Sit down, dear.
41:36We are going to treat this as a proper job, aren't we?
41:38I mean, I couldn't let you do it unless I was paying a fair-going rate for it, all right?
41:43Sure.
41:46Leo, what do you think about your father coming into the yard?
41:48I mean, how does your family feel?
41:51Mum's a bit miffed.
41:52Lynn doesn't care too much, so long as it doesn't interfere with their sailing.
41:55And you?
41:56Dad wasn't all that happy at Southern Aviation.
41:59It was a job, a good one, I know, but...
42:01Not very fulfilling.
42:03It's more or less what I thought.
42:04When I start work here, will you give me a key or shall I work while you're here?
42:07Oh, you can have a key, no problem.
42:10But since you work about the same hours, I imagine we'll meet up quite often.
42:34This is the shade I thought would go best with the curtain material.
42:37That's for your bedroom.
42:38Hmm.
42:39Okay.
42:42And where is it?
42:44This one, for the bathroom.
42:47Goes with the tiles that's already in there.
42:50No point changing them.
42:51No, if you like them.
43:01Mr. Rolfe?
43:03Yes?
43:04Have a word with you, sir.
43:06What about?
43:07Are you the owner of a blue Cortina estate, registration number H-O-Y-9-5-O-V?
43:16Yes.
43:17So?
43:18You were in an accident in that car the night before last, sir?
43:21Yes.
43:22It was damage only.
43:24There was no one else involved.
43:25But your motor ended up in a ditch by Chapman's Meadow.
43:29I swerved to avoid a hedgehog.
43:33Sure it wasn't a dog, sir?
43:35Yes.
43:36I know the difference.
43:42About what time did your accident occur, sir?
43:45I don't know exactly.
43:48Maybe between, uh, half by state, quarter of the night.
43:53Did you see a dog loose on the road before your accident?
43:56No.
43:58A Labrador was killed on that stretch of road between eight and nine on the evening before
44:02last.
44:03Valuable dog.
44:04Former reserve champion at Crusts with a very pretty stud fee.
44:07Now, what the hell was it doing loose at that time of night?
44:09An accident, sir.
44:11Just like yours.
44:13The animal got out of the house and jumped a hedge.
44:17Now, if that dog caused you to swerve into the ditch, you could claim on the owner's insurance.
44:21Does that apply if it's a hedgehog?
44:25I understand you've been drinking quite heavily before you drove off, sir.
44:30Then you understand wrong.
44:33At least five double whiskies and four halves of beer.
44:37Well above the legal limit for a driver.
44:39Prove it.
44:41Two years ago, you spent a night behind bars on a drunken disorderly charge.
44:45You were later fined 50 pounds and bound over to keep the peace for 28 days.
44:49So what?
44:50I've been celebrating.
44:53Anyway, that's history.
44:55That's your last word, is it, sir?
44:58No, it isn't.
45:00You're Fred Exton, aren't you?
45:03I knew your dad.
45:05He was an eager beaver, too.
45:07Do anything to fill up his little black book.
45:11Like father, like son, eh?
45:13If you know my family so well, sir, you'll remember that my sister lost her little boy three years ago
45:19when a drunken driver smashed into him.
45:21Good night, sir.
45:33Oh, hello, Mrs. Harvey.
45:45Jack Rolf speaking.
45:47Remember me.
45:48How could I forget?
45:50I just wanted to say thank you for coping with me the way you did the other night.
45:55Also for all your splendid help and advice.
45:58Nothing to it.
45:59Still, I'm glad if it helped.
46:00I wondered if I might show my appreciation more tangibly.
46:06Perhaps you'd have dinner with me sometime, when it's convenient.
46:10Also, you can check on the bet we had together.
46:13Jolly good idea.
46:15I'd be delighted.
46:16When?
46:17How about Thursday?
46:18Fine.
46:19I'm coming into Tarrant that day anyway.
46:21What time?
46:22About eight.
46:23It's a date.
46:24Good night, Mr. Rolf.
46:26Good night, Mrs. Harvey.
46:37How's it going?
46:40Lousy day.
46:41Yes.
46:42You could say that.
46:45Mum not back?
46:47No, not yet.
46:50How did Lynn get on with Phil Norton?
46:52Did she say?
46:52No, she didn't say.
46:54I didn't even know she was back.
46:56I bet he tried it on.
46:57He's had a go at just about every other company.
46:58Hey, get up.
46:59Do you mind?
47:00Sorry.
47:03No, look.
47:05I'm sorry.
47:06It's, uh...
47:07It's not coming out right.
47:11Say, Lynn's back.
47:13Upstairs having a bathroom, the sounds of it.
47:16Gonna pack it in.
47:18Yeah.
47:19It's just not been my day.
47:22How's it been for you?
47:23Nothing to write home about.
47:27Dad, uh, can I borrow the car tomorrow?
47:29Mum will want hers.
47:30I want to go into Southampton to pick up some wallpaper samples.
47:34Avril's asked me to do some decorating for her.
47:36Paid job.
47:37Had a right.
47:38You're free.
47:39I won't be using it.
47:40Thanks.
47:41Sounds like Mum.
47:44Drink, Mum?
47:45Good idea.
47:47So, how's it been for you?
47:50What's the matter?
47:52Why did you lie to me?
47:55Why couldn't you tell me it was Avril Rolfe who bought the flying fish?
48:00Well?
48:00Go!
48:00Oh, my God.
48:57Oh, my God.
49:15Oh, my God.
