00:28I'll be right back.
00:43I've never been one for the country.
00:45I can get agoraphobia on ivory fields.
00:48But having a car in London's like being paralysed in a brothel.
01:06So when I got the chance to do a bit of dozy snooping on the Suffolk coast for this geezer
01:10Arlo, I jumped at it.
01:59I've got some provisions in for you, Mr. Hazel, including the scotch. Would you like some?
02:03Yes, I would. Thank you, Mr. Arley.
02:05Ah, I don't know where the glasses are.
02:07You've got the general picture then.
02:09This fellow Greville's left me the cottage in his will and I haven't got any idea why.
02:14Ah, here they are.
02:16They're rather nice.
02:17My solicitor can't find any connection and apparently his solicitor was as surprised as the rest of us.
02:24And no one contested the will?
02:25Only one. A woman named Summers made a surreptitious claim on the ground she'd been Greville's mistress for some years.
02:32But she wasn't prepared to get a court over it.
02:35Greville had no other relative still alive so it's mine.
02:38I want to know why.
02:39Are you sure he didn't mix you up with somebody else?
02:41He knew my full name. My second name is Masterton so it's unlikely.
02:46And the world's watertight?
02:47Completely.
02:49So why are you worried?
02:50If somebody left me a nice little cottage down on the Suffolk coast,
02:53I don't think I'd be too anxious to rock the boat.
02:54Just in case you took it away again.
02:56I want to know.
02:58In any case, my wife refuses to come here until the mystery's cleared up.
03:01She says it sounds spooky.
03:04It is spooky. One or two...
03:06Well, spooky things have happened.
03:08Oh, yeah?
03:09One day my car was dauged with blood
03:11and then another time there was a dead chicken stuffed down the lavatory.
03:15Who'd do a thing like that?
03:16My dear fellow, you're the investigator.
03:19Well, I don't mind listening to other people's guesses.
03:21I suspect it's just jealousy.
03:23Some stupid yokel's idea of a V sign.
03:27You haven't suggested that you might sell the place to anyone, have you?
03:29No. Why?
03:31Just a thought.
03:32Put some pressure on you.
03:33Maybe persuade you to keep the price down.
03:35If we don't solve this, I may have to.
03:37What's the point in having a cottage by the sea if you can't bring your wife?
03:42You haven't seen my wife?
03:50Yeah.
03:52Nice.
03:55What's your line of work, Mr Arler?
03:56I'm an accountant.
03:58Ah, that explains it.
04:00My accountant's always trying to get me to leave everything to him.
04:03Very funny.
04:05I must go now.
04:06I have to be in New York tomorrow.
04:08Um, Concord, of course.
04:10Yes.
04:11And you will wipe your feet when you come in, won't you?
04:14And don't leave wet glasses on the polished wood.
04:17I shall treat the place as if it was yours.
04:25He might not be supersonic, but he was faster than the Blackwall Tunnel at 5 o'clock.
04:35Afternoon, Captain.
04:38Where can I find the vicar?
04:44Oh, dear.
04:45Left me passport behind.
05:15Look out, we used to own estuary cottage.
05:17Greville. Do you know anything about him?
05:25Nice ear, isn't it?
05:28Barley-vous Francais?
05:33Sorry I spoke.
05:56I was just waiting for you.
05:57You're waiting for me.
05:57I'm going to go.
06:01I'm going to go.

06:40the power of prayer
06:41is a wonderful thing
06:42is it?
06:43if it isn't
06:44I'm taking money
06:45out of forced pretenses
06:47I was just sitting here
06:49going over the church
06:50accounts which are
06:50in a terrible mess
06:51when I looked up
06:52to the almighty
06:53and said
06:53oh lord
06:54send me an angel
06:55of accountancy
06:57I'm afraid I'm not
06:58so hot with the old numbers

06:59Genesis, Exodus
07:00and Leviticus
07:00at your fingertips
07:01you couldn't spare a minute
07:03to glance through
07:03the restoration fund
07:04could you?
07:08thank you
07:16you've got your
07:17builder's account
07:17on the credit side
07:18should be over there
07:19have I?
07:21you wouldn't take on
07:22the accounts
07:23would you?
07:24I'm sure that Mr. Harlow
07:25would be delighted
07:26he's much better at it
07:27than me
07:27tremendous
07:28I'll put in a word
07:29for you
07:29thank you
07:31what I wanted to talk
07:32to you about
07:32vicar was
07:33Mr. Groble
07:34that was very sad
07:35did you know him?
07:36very very nice man
07:38well you wouldn't
07:39happen to know
07:39why he's at his house
07:40to Mr. Harlow
07:41would you?
07:42I really can't help you
07:45you mean you do know
07:46but you won't say
07:47I have my thoughts
07:48on the matter
07:49they are not
07:50public property
07:51Mr. Hazel
07:53even if he told you
07:54a few things in confidence
07:55I mean he's dead now
07:56Mr. Harlow does have
07:57a right to know
07:58I happen to believe
07:59Greville is not dead
08:01it won't?
08:02oh don't misunderstand me
08:03I'm sure his body is dead
08:03but I am totally committed
08:05to the belief
08:05that his soul is still alive
08:06and in whatever state
08:07of bliss or reproach
08:08God is a will for him
08:09so I'm afraid
08:10any confidential hints
08:11given me by Mr. Greville
08:12will have to remain
08:13confidential
08:15I see
08:18what sort of bloke was he?

11:21for that
11:47let's see it
11:49let's see it
11:59¶¶
12:24¶¶
12:25Maybe this Mrs. Summers was off looking for another old boy to shack up with.
12:29There had to be someone who'd talk.
12:32Maybe the lads at the brewery.
12:48Whoa. Talk about a niff.
12:51He could get K-Light just by breathing in.
12:54Excuse me, mate. Where's the boss's office?
12:58I know. Thanks a lot.
13:05Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
13:09Got it.
13:11Detective Police Constable Hazel.
13:14You came to my London house when we'd been burgled?
13:18Mr. Weaver.
13:19Pembridge Square.
13:21Do sit down.
13:24Still by the force?
13:25No, no.
13:26I'm on my own now.
13:26I'm driving an investigator.
13:28What brings you down here?
13:29I'm working for Mr. Harlow.
13:31Harlow?
13:31Harlow?
13:32Mr. Greville left the Miss Cottage.
13:34Oh, yeah. Funny business.
13:36Mind you, I wish he'd left in the lot.
13:38Yeah? Why's that?
13:39Would you like a drink?
13:40Uh, no. No, not just at the moment, thanks.
13:42Though, uh, I wouldn't mind trying to be a later on.
13:45He was, uh, quite an important man in the brewery, Mr. Greville, wasn't he?
13:48I should say so.
13:5020% of the shares is, uh, no mean block.
13:53Yeah.
13:53And he left them to, uh, Southborough Investments, eh?
13:56You could say that.
13:59What's the fun?
14:01I, uh, shouldn't say this, but I suppose it's common knowledge.
14:04Do you know who Southborough Investments is?
14:07What?
14:07Mrs. Summers.
14:09Oh, Greville and Mrs. Summers had a, uh, relationship.
14:12He left the shares to her.
14:14Now where Lumberd?
14:15Lumberd?
14:16Oh, with Amy.
14:17Her bloody son.
14:18She's put her son on the board and he's taken a very keen interest in how the brewery's managed.
14:23Despite the fact he knows sweet Fanny Armpit about anything.
14:26Well, Mr. Arlowe wants to know why Mr. Greville left him his cottage.
14:29You haven't got any ideas, have you?
14:31If I did, I'd tell you.
15:08The ones who know won't talk.
15:11The ones who'll talk don't know.
15:14And somebody was using me for target practice.
15:20Even a quick glance at Greville's papers told me somebody had been through them.
15:24Could have been Arlowe.
15:25Could have been Uncle Tom Cobley.
15:27But I had to be sure.
15:49Mr. Hazel?
15:51Four marks.
15:53I'm sorry to arrive unannounced.
15:55I'm Stephanie.
15:57Harlow?
15:59I wanted a word with you.
16:01Uh, can I come in?
16:04Well, it is your house.
16:29There's your old man now, you're here.
16:31I refuse to come down up to now.
16:34But I became rather intrigued by all these strange goings-on.
16:39Well, Peter never tells me very much.
16:41So, uh, I decided to come and find out for myself.
16:45Call it feminine curiosity.
16:48I'm sorry to be a pest.
16:51Oh, no.
16:51When I saw you coming up the drive, I thought I'd won the jackpot.
16:55Power of prayer.
16:55It's a wonderful thing.
16:59Has anyone else been down here?
17:00Do you know?
17:01I've no idea.
17:02Why?
17:03Someone's been through here very carefully.
17:06Well, how can you tell?
17:08Books are gone.
17:09Some of the files on the desk are empty.
17:11Some of them got the wrong papers in.
17:13Now, I reckon old Greville was a pretty methodical fellow.
17:16He wouldn't have filed things out of place.
17:19You don't think there's any connection between this and that blood on Peter's car?
17:23No, no, I shouldn't think so.
17:26Does your, um, old man pop off to the States very often?
17:30All the time.
17:32Europe, America.
17:34Must get pretty lonely for you.
17:36I'm quite independent.
17:38Good thing.
17:39Have you eaten?
17:41No.
17:42I've got the address of this fairly decent calf round here.
17:45What a superb idea.
17:46I'll pay.
17:48Do me a favour.
17:49I told you I'm independent.
17:57What's up it is, guys?
17:59You think it's raining?
18:02Oh, I've been a bit faster.
18:04That soul is delicious.
18:07My treat.
18:10Hey.
18:11Hmm?
18:11Do you fancy a paddle?
18:15Can't be joking.
18:16No.
18:17It's freezing.
18:18Wash the stink of the city off your body.
18:20You've got to be free.
18:22Come on.
18:23Look at your tights, Wayne.
18:25I don't care.
18:26Come on.
18:27Come on.
18:31Whoa!
18:32Oh!
18:35What is it about women and water?
18:37Can't just look at it.
18:38They have to turn it into some sort of challenge.
18:48What the fuck?
19:01I don't know what it is.
19:03Ha, ha, ha, ha.
19:15Did I leave those lights on?
19:18I don't know.
19:20I do.
19:46Are you all right?
19:49Did you see anything?
19:51No.
19:52Well, there must have been someone there.
19:54No, it's too dark.
19:56Oh, this place gives me the creeps.
19:59There ought to be a torture over there somewhere.
20:02Are you not going out there again?
20:05Oh, please don't leave me alone.
20:09Hey, it's all right.
20:12Look, you sit down here and dry your feet, yeah?
20:17Because I've got to watch the carpet, you see?
20:18Oh, that's funny.
20:33I don't actually think any of this is funny.
20:37Do you believe in ghosts?
20:39Now, why should the old man have had this bit of wall painted recently?
20:44See?
20:44Same colour as the rest, but newer.
20:46Yeah.
20:46Well, let's puzzle that out in the morning.
20:49Do you mind if I go to bed?
20:51Yeah.
20:52Help yourself.
20:56I'll, er, make myself up a bed on the city.
21:00If you like.
21:04I'll, er, bring some blankets down for you.
21:27What's the matter?
21:37What is it?
21:41Well, I'm not, er, well up on the animal kingdom, but I'd say at a rough guess, it's a freshly
21:45amputated ghost foot.
21:48Looks like your ghost has left his visiting card.
21:53Look, Han, you get yourself off to bed, eh?
21:57If this ghost comes back, I'll break his foot off.
22:00If this ghost comes back, I'll break his foot off.
22:30If this ghost happens, Jesus, you know, dedication.
22:33Come on in.
22:35And he's not allowed the animal kingdom to protect your house.
22:55Hello.
22:56Hello, Shari.
22:57Hello, darling.

23:10Yeah, yeah, I know, it's, uh, half past twelve, right?
23:14Look, uh, have you got much on tomorrow?
23:17How do you fancy a little trip to the seaside?
23:21Yes, yes, of course, there'll be some eggs in here for you.
23:26Right, now look, bring a pickaxe, a shovel, a couple of buckets,
23:30oh, and some, uh, heavy-duty polythene, yeah?
23:34No, no, I am not going in for a sandcastle competition.
23:54That's correct.
23:54No.
24:06No.
24:13No.

27:03any idea where that should be?
27:04not at all what's been going on?
27:06why should someone break into the cottage
27:08and leave a goat's foot behind?
27:10a goat's foot?
27:11yep
27:11your actual Billy's Trotter
27:12fresh
27:13so fresh I should think that the goat is still falling over
27:16oh dear
27:16there's only one explanation I can think of
27:18and that's too absurd
27:20witchcraft?
27:21precisely
27:22there's a lot of that about is there?
27:23certainly not I won't tolerate it in my parish
27:26well it looks as though you might have underestimated the opposition
27:28have you any other evidence?
27:30blood on Mr Arlo's car
27:31dead chicken stuffed down the toilet
27:32nothing conclusive
27:33oh enough to get me irritated
27:34plus the small detail of an air gun dart
27:37fired into my neck
27:39hmm
27:39so
27:40maybe you better tell me what this is all about
27:42before somebody really gets hurt
27:44there can't possibly be any connection
27:47someone is losing out because it is Harlow business
27:49who is it?
27:50I've no idea
27:52I think Gribble took care of everyone
27:54as generously
27:57I'm sorry
27:59yeah
28:01well don't come knocking on my door for donations instead of Sunday School
28:04and if Mrs Arlo gets an air gun dart in the eye I should be round Preacher Simon and me
28:07own
28:08keep me in touch over this persecution I'll certainly do all I can to put a stop to that
28:32oh Mr Hazel how are you?
28:34not so bad
28:34oh have you met Greg Summers Mr Hazel?
28:38James Hazel
28:39how do you know?
28:40Mr Hazel's trying to find out why old Greville left his house to this chap Harlow
28:44oh very interesting a private eye
28:48I uh
28:49I wanted to work with your mother
28:51do you know which she'll be in?
28:52I'm afraid she's gone away for a few days
28:54far away?
28:55Devon
28:55if there's anything I can do
28:57well I don't suppose you'd tell me why Greville did this number with the house
28:59total mystery I'm working
29:01there's quite a few people around here seem to know but they won't say either
29:04do you know why that should be?
29:05afraid not
29:05can you get hold of your old lady on the phone?
29:08mother has been very upset by the whole business I rarely would prefer it if you didn't bother her
29:13just a few questions
29:14it's all over now
29:16please don't start raking it up again
29:18I want to know who's trying to elbow Harlow out of the village
29:21now to do that I need to find out Greville's little secret
29:23well he must have told his solicitor Mr Bell
29:26he won't say
29:27well if the old fool wanted to keep it a secret that's the end of it
29:30thanks to the old fool you're here Mr Summers
29:34I must get up to the malt house goodbye Mr Hazel
29:37you can see why Greville didn't marry her
29:40he'd have ended up with that for a son
29:43you really don't like him do you?
29:44he's only got two interests
29:46money and girls
29:48my daughter was one of them
30:11the cellar's empty
30:14gonna make sandpies
30:16love tellin' Stephanie
30:19kids' kid
30:21kids' kid
30:22kids' kid
30:23kids' kid
31:12I'm not gonna have to do this.
31:17Never thought we'd get an outboard motor.
31:21Yeah. Well, that's what you're right arm for, isn't it?
31:59What do you want to do that for?
32:01Because while you're here playing sandcastles,
32:03someone could be putting their boot in back at the cottage.
32:08Sorry, James. I just couldn't stand being there any longer.
32:13But he stays. There's more use as a watchdog than a bodyguard.
32:26Oh, a swift look around for any goat's feet. Do what?
32:30Forget it.
32:32What's that thing?
32:33There.
32:36Ultraviolet.
32:37I always thought that was a sort of flower.
32:48Right, watch the stairs, yeah?
32:50Yeah, I got you.
32:51Mind this cable, too.
32:56Good. Now, look, when I turn this on, mind your eyes, yeah?
33:00Yeah, right.
33:17Oh, my God.
33:19What is it?
33:46It's a bit dusty in there.
33:47What do you think, Vicar?
33:48Totally wrong.
33:49There's no more a black magic church than I'm a bookie's runner.
33:53Yeah.
33:54You see what I mean, though?
33:55Someone's up to a nasty game.
33:56Yeah.
33:57You're gonna try your bell, book and candle, what's it?
33:59You know, like any exorcist?
34:00I think a scrubbing brush will suffice.
34:03Oh, Pee.
34:04I like all that shaking beds and how's your father?
34:08Well, yeah, I suppose he does get a bit boring if you do it every day of the week, right?
34:13Yeah.
34:14Why don't you find your way to your little hotel, Torrance, before the ferry closes for the night?
34:19Yeah.
34:20Night off.
34:22Finish pumping up my tyres on the way, will you?
34:27So, what do you think?
34:28I don't know.
34:29I really don't know.
34:32Excuse me.
34:38Yeah, hello.
34:40Hello, Mr. Weaver.
34:43Did you know?
34:46That's very interesting.
34:48Thanks for telling me.
34:49Yeah.
34:50Bye bye.
34:54It would appear that Mrs. Summers isn't in Devon.
34:57Mr. Weaver saw her in Albury this afternoon.
35:00Vicar, could you do me a great favour?
35:02Would you stay here with Mrs. Arlo while I pop out for a while?
35:04It'd be a pleasure.
35:07Mr. Hazel tells me your husband is an accountant.
35:11Yes.
35:23Can you give me a lift, Jim?
35:24No.
35:26Go for a walk along the beach, then you come back, lie low, keep an eye on the place till
35:30I get back.
35:30All right.
35:49I'm afraid there isn't much I can say that will help you, Mr. Hazel.
35:53Well, you never know Mrs. Summers.
35:55Do you know Mr. Harlow?
35:56No, I don't.
35:57But then there's no real reason, is there?
35:59I'm a bit short on reasons myself.
36:01What do you want to know exactly?
36:03Well, a couple of things.
36:05One, why did your friend Mr. Greville leave his nice house to Mr. Harlow?
36:09And two, is it haunted?
36:12Whatever makes you think that?
36:14Well, some spooky things have happened.
36:16Mysterious visitors, things left.
36:18A ghost's the likeliest explanation, isn't it?
36:20Is it?
36:21It sounds like a bit of tomfoolery to me.
36:23You're not one for the occult, then?
36:25I'm a very practical person.
36:28Okay.
36:28So why should someone break into the cottage and rifle through Mr. Greville's papers?
36:32Maybe they were looking for something.
36:34Like what?
36:35How would I know?
36:38It's got us all confused, isn't it?
36:40So what about the house?
36:41Now why would your friend leave that to Mr. Harlow?
36:44I don't know.
36:46Don't you?
36:47I'm sorry.
36:50You know, I'm beginning to feel a bit unwanted around here, which makes me even more curious.
36:55Now the vicar, he knows, but he won't say because it's between him, Greville and God.
37:00Greville's solicitor.
37:01He knows, but he won't say because Greville put the no-no and a few quid on him.
37:06You must know you were closer to him than anybody.
37:10Look, if I tell you, will that be an end to it? No more probing.
37:13Uh-huh.
37:16Alec Harlow saved John Greville's life during the war.
37:20He wanted to show his appreciation in some way.
37:25That's it?
37:26Yes.
37:28How do you know?
37:29I found it in his letters.
37:31Ah, he left you his letters, did he?
37:34Yes.
37:35That's funny, because I've seen the will and it didn't mention that.
37:38It was unofficial.
37:40Aha.
37:41You nicked her.
37:42Oh, now, really.
37:43Oh, it's, uh, it's all right.
37:44I'm not the law.
37:45I'm just a hired investigator.
37:47I don't get paid to make judgements.
37:49Well, after John died, I, I did go through his letters.
37:52I had a key to the cottage.
37:54Yeah, of course.
37:56No, not of course.
37:58Well, you know what I mean.
38:00Yes.
38:02What were you looking for?
38:06A few...
38:07mementos.
38:09Miss Daisy.
38:17Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
38:20Look.
38:22Honestly, he meant a lot to you and, and you meant a lot to him.
38:25Not as much as I thought.
38:27Oh, come on.
38:29No, no, it's true.
38:31Do you know why I went through John's letters?
38:33I wanted to know why he always...
38:36Why he wouldn't marry me.
38:39Look, it's okay.
38:40I didn't know he was waiting for somebody else.
38:44All this time, I've just been filling in for somebody else.
38:51Forget it.
38:52How can I?
38:53I wish I'd never looked.
38:56It's better not to know.
38:59Yeah.
39:00But I have to know.
39:02It's my job.
39:05So, amongst all this stuff, you found out about Arlo's dad.
39:10Have you still got the letters?
39:12Somewhere.
39:14Yeah.
39:15Well, er...
39:16Not now, eh?
39:21Shall I make you a nice cup of tea?
39:24No.
39:35There's nothing worse than an half-truth.
39:38It just didn't add up.
39:40All this aggro because Arlo's dad pulled Greville out of a Jerry ambush.
39:46The answer has to be here.
39:48In the house.
39:50Everybody tries to hide something where you can't pick it out.
40:03I'm sure I'm going to pick this up.
40:05There's so much room for me to pick the house.
40:05What's up here.
40:08We're all in here.
40:08I'm just going to take a minute.
40:08What's up here?
40:11I see.
40:11What's up here?
40:22I'm still in there.

45:46so
45:46it did
45:46it did save John's life
45:48it did save John's life
45:48he felt so guilty about it he just couldn't bring himself to or they couldn't bring themselves
45:52to reveal it
45:54but
45:54they lived all their lives in a hopeless love
45:56I suppose John hoped that Alec might die first and he and Anne would have a few years together with
46:03their secret son
46:05as things turned out
46:07Anne died first
46:11so why all the aggravation
46:13I thought if Arlo tumbled to this he might claim the shares then I'd get nothing
46:18and mother would have to face more humiliation
46:21will he
46:22will he go to court make a bid for the shares
46:24is there any evidence
46:26oh lots
46:26all his letters from her

47:07Peter's so bloody mean that if he finds out about this he'll fight it all the way up to the
47:10house of lords
47:12I think we should just stick with the rescue and forget the rest
47:16oh come on
47:17Peter's father is 71
47:19can you imagine what this would do to him
47:21he doted on Anne
47:24it would kill him
47:33I don't see why you should get away with it
47:35neither do I
47:38is he only good with mechanical things
47:39oh yes he is
47:40he could be quite a good engineer but he doesn't like to get his hands dirty
