- There you go, David. - Hey.

-Hey! - I hope this isn't a fake.

-What's up with you? - Just come from the bank.

Three forged fivers in this week's takings. Three.

Hey, Mr Scripps had one of those

in the garage last week.

I'll give Joe a ring, shall I?

Yeah.

-Is he in? - Who?

Sergeant Miller.

Tell him Jeanie with the light-brown hair is here.

That'll make him blush.

I've been to see my sister in Edinburgh.

We do it twice a year.

Oh, I would k*ll for a cup of tea, Geoffrey.

Oh, now that's what I call service.

You must be Alf.

Look, excuse me Mrs...

Miller. Jean Miller.

Well, you see, Mrs Miller...

Mrs Miller.

I-I see. Oh. A cup of tea.

- Jean? - I know.

I'm treading on holy ground, George. I'm sorry.

Only the train broke down just outside Ashfordly.

They said we might have to wait hours,

so I thought I'd come over here,

let you drive me home after work.

I've been in Edinburgh, you see.

With her sister. They do it twice a year.

-Sugar? - No need, Younger.

There's a very nice cafe in Marsham Street, Jean.

They do a very good Eccles cake.

Have a look round the shops, why don't you?

-Get back here about sixish. - You trying to get rid of me?

Don't worry.

Not expecting you to mix business and pleasure.

We all know what you're like.

See you later, then.

Traffic reports. My desk. Five minutes.

There's no shame in being fooled by one of these.

Had any strangers in the past few days?

GINA: Not that I can think of.

Then maybe someone local's passing them.

I'll have to keep a hold of this. Dig around a bit.

Well, dig as much as you like.

I think forgers should be strung up.

BERTIE: She's looking older.

Everybody's looking older these days.

Yeah, but that's a really snazzy trouser suit.

And look at that.

What's this, then?

Judy Garland's got married again, in London,

to husband number five.

Bernie's a big fan.

She says she likes living in England

and is planning to rent somewhere

in the country, but...

What if...? Dawn... Oh, no. It's daft.

Oh. It might happen.

She says here that she likes Yorkshire.

Imagine.

Filling Judy Garland's t*nk with four star.

DAWSON: You've done well, Mason.

These notes are part of a batch from Bristol,

all with the same serial number.

They're from a g*ng run by one Jim Bly.

It was cracked wide open,

by Bly himself was never found.

Nor was his girlfriend. Ruthie Abbott.

Whoo! No one's gonna miss her in a crowd.

Bly had various cons, all of which were designed

to get forged currency into circulation

in exchange for good,

which was then used to fund drug trafficking

out of Bristol.

people were arrested when the ring was broken,

but no one knows where Bly got to.

I thought he left the country.

Now that these notes have turned up here,

you think that he has, too?

I think it's worth investigating.

Show the pictures around. See what you get.

Usual, please, Gina.

Ah, David, just the person.

Are you free this afternoon, by any chance?

Oh, yes, sir, I could be.

Good, because I've let the low house to a friend

who's putting up some American clients.

You know how picky the yanks can be.

I need some furniture taken over from the hall.

Something in it for you.

Oh, right. Well, thank you. I-I'll drink up.

Good man.

Everything all right there, Blaketon?

CASH REGISTER DINGS

Blimey! Where did all these come from?

I found it on the roadside.

Who'd bother to collect all this stuff and then dump it?

Someone with taste maybe. Oh, I know that.

It was on Mrs Tebbit's mantelpiece for years.

It's not something you'd easily forget.

Perhaps I should have a word with her.

Oh, she d*ed last year.

You can ask Sandra, though, her daughter.

She's out on the Elsinby Road.

-Excuse me. - Hello.

Have you seen either of these people?

- MAN: No. No, 'fraid not. - WOMAN: No.

GEOFF: Could you let us know if you do?

Excuse me.

Agh! Oi!

Oi!

Oi, you there. Police. Come here.

SHEEP BLEATING

Jim?

Jim!

Jim! Jim!

Make a bit more noise, why don't you?

The cops are on the streets, showing pictures around.

- Of us? - I don't know.

I didn't get close enough to find out.

What are we gonna do?

Once we get to Holland, we'll be fine.

I can get money there.

Can't you talk your cousin into being paid later?

No. He won't budge. Cash up front.

And real cash, Jim. He knows about the duff stuff.

Well, I can't get cash!

The pigs have seized all my assets.

SIGHS

We'll have to keep passing the fivers.

It's getting risky, Jim.

HORN HONKS

PEGGY:Ooh! Well, honestly!

That car.

That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

What on earth is all this, Younger?

Surely processing a shoplifter

is within your competence.

Or is that too much to hope for?

Jean?

The Gazette are gonna love this.

"Police Chief's wife in shoplifting scandal."

How do you know she's my wife?

It's a matter of a tin of luncheon meat, sergeant.

Found in Mrs Miller's bag.

-MILLER Is this true? - It certainly is.

Oh, Jean. What have you done?

I've done nothing. Nothing at all.

She would say that, wouldn't she?

Perhaps there's been some misunderstanding.

My wife has been under some strain lately.

No, I haven't.

And as the goods have been returned...

This is what they call graft.

MILLER: Graft?

MAN: This kind of corruption can't go unchallenged.

I'm pressing charges. Arrest this woman.

He's right. You'd better arrest me.

What?

- Want a full investigation. - So do I.

Well, go on.

I only sold it yesterday.

A nice young couple. I got two pounds for it.

They were setting up a shop somewhere, they said.

Sheffield, I think.

Was it these people, by any chance?

Well, I suppose it might have been her.

Her hair were blonde, though, not black.

But the man waited down by the path.

Is something wrong?

Did they pay with a five pound note?

They didn't have any change,

so I gave them three pounds back.

How on earth did you know that?

Do you still have it?

I spent it at the greengrocer's.Sorry.

So, it's them, is it?

Right. They're gonna get it now with both barrels.

Hey, David, give us a hand.

Thank you.

Right. That's all right.

My dear, I am mortified.

That naughty husband of mine swore faithfully

that he could drive on the wrong side of the road.

- He nearly k*lled us all! - Yes, he did!

Now, I am a stranger here.

But I'm sure you know everyone

and everything there is to know.

I pray that you will be my good friend and companion.

-You will, won't you? - Well... Well, I--

That's settled, then.

Now, let me make you some real American coffee,

while you unload the truck.

Oh, and I hope you won't be offended

if I offer you a small gratuity

for all your hard work.

So kind of you.

No, I-I won't be offended at all.

Mrs...? It's Dean. But please, call me Judy.

It... It...

It's Judy Garland.

So, a possibly sighting from Sandra Tebbit.

The game itself is as old as the hills.

Buy something worthless, pay with a forged note

and get real money back as change.

It would explain why so many forged fivers

are in circulation locally.

Isn't this all a bit small scale for Bly?

We've closed down his whole network.

His bank accounts are frozen.

Looks to me like he's seriously strapped.

Why come here?

If Bly's passing so many forged notes so quickly,

he's getting desperate.

Ruthie's from up this way.

We think they're looking to leave the country.

She has a cousin who runs a fishing boat out of Whitby.

He's under surveillance.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

Sorry, sarge.

What do you want to do about the suspect?

She's still in the interview room.

DOOR OPENS

We'll be going home in about half an hour.

But I'm under arrest.

I'll write out a charge sheet and you'll be released,

pending further action.

Blount will drop the charges when he's calmed down a bit.

But you think I'm guilty.

You think I'm a shoplifter.

I don't think that, love.

But you have to admit,

you've not been yourself lately.

And you're at an age, Jean, when...

I'm going through the change, so I'm losing my marbles?

Is that it?Is that your explanation, sergeant?

I thought the police was supposed to investigate crime.

We will investigate,

but we've got more urgent cases at the moment.

I'm not leaving here until my innocence is proved

or that horrible shopkeeper sees sense!

You'll have to lock me up, George.

We'd only do that if you were uncooperative.

Oh, I intend to be, don't you worry.

What is the punishment for assaulting a police officer?

DOOR UNLOCKS

Morning, Mrs Miller.

Nice cup of tea.

I suppose he's furious with me.

"Furious" would cover it, yes.

He's afraid I'll embarrass him.

The mad wife.

The thief.

I thought he'd defend me.

How could he not believe me?

I'll try and have a word.

No, don't you dare.

This has got to run its course.

I intend to be vindicated.

I don't believe it. It can't be! Hey, Dawn.

Don't get ahead of yourself, Bernie.

As I keep telling our David,

we can't be sure it is Judy Garland.

I mean, she's going as Judy Dean.

It's Deans, actually.

Mrs Mickey Deans. It's her new married name.

It must be her, it must be.

Well, she don't look like she did in The Wizard Of Oz.

What, she weren't wearing a gingham frock and plaits?

I don't suppose you look like you did years ago.

I'd recognise her. In an instant.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

-Miss Tebbit? - I'm sorry to bother you.

Only I think I've done something stupid.

- Tell me. -The woman asked

if I knew anyone else local

who might have interesting objects to sell.

I mentioned my friend Doreen. She lives in Thackerston.

- Think they might visit her? - They said they would.

But Doreen's away till Friday. And I told them that.

What if they burgle her house while she's away?

I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on it.

Thank you for letting me know.

This could be really useful.

Whereabouts in Thackerston?

Chris, have you any idea how hard it is

to get that kind of money two or three quid at a time?

SIGHS

Look.

You know Jim's good for it. I just...

Yeah, yeah. All right.

No.

All right.

Whatever you say.

He won't budge.

And the boat leaves Whitby Saturday night.

- How short are we? - .

quid by Saturday? Oh, Jim!

quid. It's crazy. I've got money. Loads of it.

If I could just get my hands on it.

This is my fault.

If I hadn't walked out like that...

Hey, stop that.

If you hadn't walked out,

I'd have been there when the cops turned up.

I'm glad we had that fight.

And making up was fun, weren't it, eh?

We'll try the house in Thackerston.

No, there's nobody there till Friday. The woman said so.

All the better. If someone is there, we'll play the con.

If not, we'll break in.

There'll be something we can pawn.

And when it's dark,

we'll nick a car and head for Whitby.

No point in risking it till we have to.

HORN HONKS

I've seen the couple you're after

at the phone box on Fraser Road.

They disappeared towards Thackerston.

Thackerston? Carol, you're brilliant.

Delta Alpha - to control.

I need to get a message to Sergeant Dawson. Over.

PEGGY:Well, is it her?

Yeah, go on, Bernie, is it?

Well, it looks like her.

She's wearing red and that's her favourite colour.

And vodka's definitely her tipple.

How d'you know all that?

Well, I read things. I remember.

Hello?Is anyone there?

No.

Davy, honey, is that you?

Oh. Oh.

Er...

Yeah, we j... Just wanted...

To see if you were settling in all right.

Well, I guess that is a real British welcome.

Am I going to be interrogated now?

Questioned, Jean. Not interrogated.

Now, there are two police officers present,

as required by the law

for your protection and for ours.

Oh, don't be so pompous.

Now, you deny taking the tin of luncheon meat,

but can offer no explanation

as to how it ended up in your bag?

It's your job to solve crimes, isn't it?

I thought I was innocent until proven guilty.

Proven, George.

Not blamed by a husband, who should know better!

GEOFF: Erm...

If Mr Blount insists on pressing charges

and this goes to court,

the judge will take into account

any mitigating factors.

- Mitigating factors? - Yes.

Special circumstances.

Are you taking any new medicines, for instance?

No.

Any problems at home?

Problems at home?

Let's see.

A husband who thinks I'm a liar.

Who doesn't talk to me much.

And when he does, doesn't listen to what I say.

He hasn't looked at me with love or kindness

in half a year.

Someone who'd rather spend every hour that God sends

stuck at his desk than share any time with me.

Do those count as problems, Geoffrey?

Take Mrs Miller back to the cells, Younger.

We'll continue this later.

SIGHS

We... Hmm. We love you.

I mean, we absolutely love you.

Well, that's... sweet.

Well, not as much as Bernie does.

Erm... I'm sorry, I mean, Bernard.

This is Bernard. He works in a garage.

You're everything to him.

Bernie. Go on.

Well, say hello to Mrs Deans, you daft ha'peth!

Please, it's Judy.

Hm.

Michael, honey. We have visitors.

And you'll never believe this.

Bernard is a mechanic.

Isn't that wonderful?

Bernard, your timing's great.

Something's been rattling under the hood

since we came through a place called Middlesbrough.

The hood? Oh.

Oh, you mean the bonnet?

Oh! You mean, you want me to mend your Cadillac?

Oh, my.

This is beyond my wildest dreams.

Whoo-hoo!

Spill the beans, then.

The sarge's wife. What did she say?

Donald, when your marriage was in trouble,

would you have wanted people gossiping about it?

All right. Fair enough.

But their marriage is in trouble, then?

Sandra said they were planning on coming here.

And Carol saw them headed this way.

It's still a bit of a long sh*t.

All right, I'll give it a go.

An hour. No more.

Cheese and pickle, sarge.

Your favourite. Or so your wife tells me.

I'll thank you to mind your own business.

We're walking on eggshells out there, sarge.

- Has Younger said anything? - Of course he hasn't.

You might not want to talk to me,

but you should talk to someone, you know.

- Nothing to talk about. - Right.

Alf.

I'm sorry.

You're trying to help, I suppose.

I don't know how to talk to her any more.

This last year, since the girls have gone.

Well, perhaps you shouldn't try to talk.

Perhaps you should try to listen.

Works a treat for Mrs Ventress.

Oh, thank you, Milord.

Are you a fan by any chance?

Sorry?

It's only Judy Garland.

Bernie said it's true.

Well, Johnny does do a lot of business

Well, I must invite her for supper.

Can you make sure you keep him here?

GINA: Sounds a bit suspicious.

Well...

WHISPERS

I'm so grateful you turned up when you did.

- I thought I'd had it. - Don't thank me.

It was Mason's idea.

He followed you at a distance.

Then radioed us for backup.

- Are you all right, lad? - Yes, thanks, sergeant.

He only winged me.

Thanks, Joe.

- Owe you a very large drink. - Several, I'd say.

Geoff got sh*t?

WETHERBY: Only a flesh wound.

They're not keeping him in.

He's in hospital? Poor Geoff.

We all got knocked about.

Yeah, but you're used to it, aren't you?

Do you ever feel like

you're being taken for granted?

Hey, not by us, Joe.

I don't think you should have been

put at risk like that.

Being a woman, I mean.

What?

Don't look at me. I'm staying well out of it.

MURMURS

Oh, George.

Is it time to go home?

You look lovely.

Don't be daft.

- I must look a right mess. - No.

Lovely.

You don't have to be nice to me, you know.

I don't want you to have to make an effort.

I don't feel that.

Good.

I thought I might take a few days off.

- We could go away somewhere. - I'd like that.

Not Edinburgh, mind.

You should see the prices on the Royal Mile.

Hmm.

-Thank you. - No, no. It's... It's on me.

For being such a hero.

Oh. Right.

Thank you. I suppose I was quite.

Oh, please, Bernard, stay as you are.

Mrs Armstrong, Davy, honey.

I shall miss you so much.

-What...? - Are you going?

-First thing tomorrow. - But what about my...? Oh.

Michael has been called away.

Did you have any luck with the Caddy, Bernard?

Oh, yes, it's fine. It's a beautiful car.

Oh. Let me settle.

No, no. I won't hear of it.

No, it's been an honour and a privilege.

That is so kind.

You know, Bernard,

people like me couldn't be people like me

without people like you.

I hope you'll always think of me

as your good and very special friend Judy.

OSCAR: Do you think I should tell him the truth?

Don't you dare, Oscar.

Don't you dare.
