Fancy a chat, Viv?

No, I've got to get Scott his tea.

-I can carry your bag. - No, it's all right.

- George! - Sorry.

Give it here. Please.

What are you doing, George?

- I'm helping Viv. - Give those to me.

Why don't you just get yourself home?

What time is it? I don't know which is right.

It's half past four. Police time's always right.

See you later, all right?

-He doesn't mean any harm. - It's my own fault.

I was being friendly and gave him that old watch.

Now he follows me like a lost lamb.

- I'll speak to his sister. -Would you mind?

He tried to stroke my hair.

I don't want him getting any funny ideas.

- You leave it to me. - Ta.

-You moved a few weeks ago? - Still settling in.

- I'm Viv Mackay. - Joe Mason.

You don't know one end of a hot dog from the other.

My probation officer said I need a new interest.

Hot dogs?

- Turning over a new leaf. - Oh, yeah?

A leopard never changes its socks, Vince.

- Spots. -Eh?

All I'm asking is to leave it here for a few days.

Just while I sort a few things out.

Two days, tops. I thought we were friends.

Two days.

Best keep it out of sight, though.

A lot of villains around. Don't want it getting nicked.

I'll see if Bernie's got room round the back.

TAPPING ON GLASS

- VIV: Quiet, please. - What's going on?

Thank you. I've got some news.

Mr Bellingham, my Dominic here,

we're getting married.

ALL: Whoo!

Come here, Mr B.

ALL: Ooh!

CHUCKLES

What can I say?

The deal is, as we say in the motor trade,

subject to finance,

sight of a full service history

and, of course, a test drive.

- Behave yourself. - ALL: Whoo!

All I'm saying is

don't expect wedding bells too soon.

But what I will do is buy a round.

CORK POPS

ALL: Hooray!

That's really going to set tongues wagging.

-How do you mean? -He's a married man.

Gossip is she's got a husband in the army.

But this bloke's set her up with a house.

You never know with gossip, though, do you?

This cousin of yours must be doing all right

if he can afford to miss

the Ashfordly Cup tie tomorrow.

There'll be a massive crowd

and this is a licence to print money.

Well, I suppose he knows what he's doing.

No, he really doesn't.

Would you like onions with that?

- Beg pardon? - Bernie, you are a genius.

I'm going home. Lock up, will you?

And what can I get you good people?

- I'm OK for now, thanks. - Me too.

Congratulations on your engagement.

Oh, I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

She's a naughty girl telling everyone like that.

I told her it's customary

for the gentleman to buy the ring.

Talk about jumping the g*n.

Maybe the gossip's not so far off the mark.

- Cheers, everyone. - ALL: Cheers!

Oh, careful! Dawn!

David, help me!

CLATTERING

ENGINE STOPS

Not a very good driver, are you?

I need to get better by tomorrow.

It'll take a bit longer than that.

I know that, David.

You could help me. Oh, please, David.

Please, please, please, please, please!

- What are you talking about? - Hot dogs.

I know, we could be partners.

I mean, saying that in front of everybody.

The course of true love and all that.

What's going on?

Sounds like the engagement's off.

Why?

He's not too happy.

She forced his handcos he was playing hard to get.

- Hello, George. - I want Viv.

Remember our talk, George. You're not to bother her.

-Let's go to your house. - George, please.

Give it a rest, mate.

VIV GASPS

I'm sorry, George.

- You hurt me. - Are you all right? Come on.

No.

You're not my friend any more.

GINA: Come on.

-I'll make sure he gets home. - I don't like to say this.

But he's become a real pest. Just won't stop bothering you.

I'll talk to June.

Come on. Let's go and sit down.

JOE: George!

Got you! You nosy parker.

- Something good in there? - It's just my mum.

Oh, right. Do you want me to get her?

No, no, it's all right.

- So, what's your name, then? - Dawn.

- Knock knock. -Who's there?

- Dawn. -Dawn who?

Dawn let me see you round here again!

CHUCKLES

-I'm Scott. - Hiya, Scott. You all right?

So, er, it looks like she's going to be a while.

- So I think I'll get off. - OK.

See you later, alligator.

Ta-da!

-What is it? - It's a baked-potato oven.

You fill it with spuds and it turns them into gold.

It will when we sell them at the football tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Ah, well, I can't because me and Dawn,

we're doing hot dogs.

Not any more, you're not.

I've a hundredweight of King Edwards want shifting.

DOORBELL RINGS

What's going on? George?

He's been making a nuisance of himself.

- Who says? - I do. I saw him.

There's a woman called Vivienne Mackay.

- We all know about her. -He's been pestering her.

I know that he doesn't mean any harm.

He doesn't do any harm. Everyone here knows that.

It's these newcomers.

I asked him to keep away from her,

but he's more likely to listen to you.

-I don't want any trouble. - Neither do I.

I'll see what I can do. PC Mason?

Thanks. I know it's not you.

DAVID: Aunt Peggy.

It's about tomorrow.

I've sort of promised Dawn.

Oh, that's right.

Turn your back on your own flesh and blood

and run off with some mini-skirted,

here today-gone tomorrow, flibbertigibbet!

Well, I'm not running off.

That'll be next. But don't you worry about me.

It's just with my back,

I shall probably have to move them spuds one at a time.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

KNOCKING

OK, I heard you.

SNIFFLES

- What's happened? - It's my mum.

♪ Every single day

♪ I got heartache coming my way

♪ I don't wanna say goodbye

♪ Baby, but look at the tears in my eye ♪

What do we know?

The son of the victim, Scott Mackay,

turned up at my house just after . this morning.

He tell you what had happened?

Could hardly speak, but was awoken by a noise.

Came down to find his mother, Vivienne Mackay,

lying in the kitchen dead.

-Did he see anyone? - No, but looks a struggle.

Looks like she was battered to death.

- We got a m*rder w*apon? - No sign of it so far.

A man called George Aston lives in the village.

He's been following Vivienne around.

Pestering her.He always wears Wellington boots.

- That's what we've got here? - Looks like it.

Anything else?

She was in the pub last night

with a man called Dominic Bellingham.

Looked like they were having quite a heated disagreement.

Can I have a word with PC Mason?

He's all yours.

Where's Scott at the moment?

Nurse Cassidy's looking after him.

I've spoken with his father.

He's in the army stationed in Germany.

He can't get home until later today.

We can take care of him for now.

I'll speak to Carol. To stay there.

- The simplest answer. - Sarge.

David. David, love, I need help.

- What's happened? - It's this lumbago.

It's hurting me something rotten.

Go to the doctor, then. He's helping me out today.

This is an emergency.

-Well, if she's ill... -David, she's putting it on.

- I am not! - Yes, you are.

David, we're meant to be partners, remember,

splitting everything -.

That's not the point. Blood is thicker than water.

David is not thick and he is working with me.

David, I shan't be asking you again.

David! Don't you dare.

If you want to argue, will you do it somewhere else?

You're frightening off the customers.

Are you coming or what?

Er, not. Er...

She's trouble, that one!

Mark my words. You'll regret it.

Your tobago seems to have cleared up, Peg!

Do you want me just to grab something?

SOBS

Listen...

Just let it out.

I was supposed to be looking after her.

Look, it wasn't your fault.

If I'd have just woken up, I could have stopped it.

Scott, listen.

SIGHS

I don't know if this helps, but...

I lost my mum, too, in a similar way.

She was m*rder*d.

And for ages I thought it must have been my fault,

that there must have been something I could have done.

But it wasn't my fault.

It's not yours either.

Mum alwayspacked my clothes, for holidays and that.

Yeah. Yeah, mine, too.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

SIGHS

The priority is to find this man George Aston.

Where are we on that?

He's not returned to his house.

MILLER: We've circulated a description.

It looks like the m*rder w*apon was a heavy object.

A length of piping or something similar.

Sergeant Miller's gonna organise a search

and we've got extra men coming from HQ.

PC Mason, I'd like you

to concentrate on local witnesses.

This man Mrs Mackay was arguing with in the pub?

Bellingham.

I want to interview him as soon as possible.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Where's Scott? I want to start with him.

He's not really up to answering questions yet.

I'll be the judge of that.

Did you see your mum when she came back

from the pub last night?

Yeah, with Mr Bellingham.

Did he come into the house?

I don't think so.

You don't think so or you don't know?

-I didn't see him. - What were you doing?

I was in my bedroom listening to records.

SNIFFLES

Mum came in and she told me to go to bed.

Was that the last time you saw her?

Yeah.

What's the next thing you remember?

SOBS

-I can't... - Scott, it's important. Try.

I can't remember.

What woke you up?

You told me that you heard your mother scream.

So you got out of bed, went downstairs, then what?

I went up to her.

I tried to wake her up. I shook her.

She wouldn't wake up.

Maybe that's enough for now.

You shook her. Did you move her at all, Scott?

Joe's right. He's not up to this.

After that, did you go straight to the police house?

We can ask him later.

It's OK. Come on. This way.

♪ Oh, darlin'

♪ You started getting next to me

♪ Oh, darlin' ♪

I'll ask Gina if we can cook the onions in the pub.

-You get the bangers on. - I'll do that.

DAWN: OK, thanks.

Oh, no!

-David! - Well, it's not my fault.

Look, I'll tell you what, I'll do the sausages.

Who's been at these?

I bet it was Peggy.

No, she wouldn't do that.

Who else would it be, David?

Bet it was her that was at your onions, as well.

I keep telling you all, he's not here.

Where is he, then?

I know what people are saying.

But what happened to that woman

has got nothing to do with him.

George never hurt a fly.

Do these belong to George?

Size nine.

A clear size-nine boot print was found at the m*rder scene.

It wasn't him.

Where was George early this morning?

Sometimes he gets het up.

He goes out for a walk. It means anything.

- He just likes to be alone. - Where does he walk?

-I don't know. - You must have some idea.

A young woman, a neighbour of yours,

was k*lled last night in cold blood.

Her son's devastated.

If George knows anything,

I need to know as soon as possible.

Where does he walk?

-On the moors. -Where?

He's not a m*rder*r, but you've made your minds up.

I haven't. I promise you.

You've got my word.

Low Kirk Farm.

We used to live there when we were kids.

It's empty now. He goes up there.

Thank you.

You've got to give him a chance. Please.

Hello. Nearly didn't recognise you.

Is this business or pleasure?

-It's about Vivienne Mackay. - Ah.What now?

Sorry to break it to you like this,

but I'm afraid she's dead.

No.

-But how? - Looks like she was m*rder*d.

We need to ask you some questions down at the station.

ENGINE SPLUTTERS

DAVID: There's plenty of diesel in it.

Right, the onions are cooking nicely.

What's wrong?

SIGHS

-Well, it won't start. - It's got to. Did yesterday.

Fuel pump's gone.

-And I know who's nicked it. - N-no.

She's not getting away with it this time, David.

No. Dawn. Mr Scripps doesn't mean that.

I'd stay clear.

It's never nice when women fight.

Give us a hand to push this inside.

I yelled, she yelled, she had a cry.

By time we got back to hers it had blown over.

What happened when you got back to her house?

We said good night and I went home.

When you were walking home

did you see anyone else near her house?

Chap who came into the pub. Bit soft in the head.

George Aston?

Viv thought he was following us.

I didn't see him, but thinking about it,

he must have been.

-What time was all this? - Around .

I was definitely home before midnight.

Can anyone confirm that?

Oh, ask Scott. He saw me go.

Well, that's not what he says.

Hmm. Between you and me, you can't always believe Scott.

-Why do you say that? - He's a nice lad.

But he didn't like me seeing Viv.

You can understand it.

He had a bad time with this father.

They both had.

He used to knock the living daylights out of them.

So, me and Scott, it was difficult.

Can anyone else confirm that you went home?

EXHALES

My wife must have heard me come home, but it's tricky.

Me and Mrs B aren't exactly

seeing eye to eye at the moment.

I told her about me and Viv last week.

Said I'd be moving out. Didn't go down well.

Well, I'll still need to speak to her.

Thanks so much for looking after me, you and Joe.

It's OK.

We'll do the house. You start on the outbuildings.

There he is! That's Aston!

I think he needs to see a doctor.

And he'll wave a magic wand and make it all go away?

Look, I know he's upset, but...

There's something not right there.

Or maybe I'm saying the wrong things.

Can you talk to him?

I'm not the right person.

He has been asking for you.

OK, but all he wants is for his mum

to walk through the door.

I can't make that happen.

Where have you been?

We've been doing a big search,

trying to find out if anyone saw anything last night.

Right, well, erm, mean,

can I help searching, anything?

No. No, not really.

Look, your dad'll be back soon.

He's gonna need some help. It'll be hard for him.

Is that what you did? Look after your dad?

Pretty much, yeah.

Did they find the man that k*lled your mum?

No. No, they didn't.

But things'll be different this time.

Oh, no.

Ma'am!

What's that on your boot, George?

- GEORGE: Nothing. - Looks like blood to me.

DAWSON: Where did this come from, George?

- It's Viv's. - Did you take it from her?

- I found it. - Where?

I found it on the path.

You found a valuable ring just lying there.

I took it to her. It was too late.

What do you mean it was too late?

It was two o'clock.

She was lying on the floor.

I was going to give it to her.

It was two o'clock.

Are you saying that she was dead

when you got to the house?

-She had blood on her head. - Why didn't you get help?

I don't know.

You really expect us to believe this?

Vivienne wasn't dead when you got to the house, was she?

- I don't know. - Did you hit her?

- What, you didn't hit her? - She hit me.

Well, she pushed me.

Viv was my friend.

But she didn't want to be your friend.

You got angry and you hit her, didn't you?

I didn't mean it.

George, it's very important that you tell us the truth.

I'm going to ask you once more.

Did you k*ll Vivienne Mackay?

Well, I didn't mean to hurt her.

George Aston, I'm arresting you

for the m*rder of Vivienne Mackay.

I can understand the others not getting it.

But you know George. You know he's not a m*rder*r.

He's admitted to being at the house.

Had the victim's ring in his pocket.

What did he say?

- That he found the ring. - Then he did.

George doesn't lie. Never.

If you don't believe me, ask Nurse Cassidy.

She's seen his medical records.

This will be taken into account,

but it doesn't look good.

Do you think he did it? k*lled a woman in cold blood?

It looks that way.

Then you're as bad as the rest of them!

June!

Scott? What are you doing here?

I was coming to look for you.

Look, I'm busy just now, mate.

It wasn't George. It can't have been.

How do you know that?

Because Mr Bellingham was there.

You said that you only saw him outside.

I didn't want to get him into trouble.

Look, I didn't actually see him leave

and he always came in

and stayed with my mum every other time.

Are you sure about this?

Mum liked George. She wouldn't want...

The best thing that you can do

is go back to Carol's and stay there.

OK? Yeah, OK.

DAWN:What makes you think it was me?

Because I saw you earlier running off down the road.

You could have done me a serious injury.

-Yeah, well, you started it. - I did not.

The thing is--

Look, someone stole that thingy from the van.

Well, that wasn't me. Tell her, David.

It wasn't anyone.

When Mr Scripps said that it was gone,

what he meant was that it was broken.

-That right, Mr Scripps? - Yeah.

Thank you.

Who's been messing with my sausages, then?

DEEFER WHIMPERS

Deefer, you bad doggy.

Is that what made you feel ill?

You think that I would stoop so low.

You would.

Well, that's upset me, that has.

That's really hurt my feelings.

I think you owe me an apology, young lady.

- Sorry. - Hm.

But how are you gonna make it up to me?

I reckon with the cost of the spuds

and the loss of income, you owe at least quid.

I haven't got that sort of money.

What am I supposed to do?

There is one thing.

Have you seen Scott?

He was here earlier. I sent him back to yours.

He said he was helping you and you said it was OK.

No, I didn't.He shouldn't be off on his own.

MUSIC: 'Ooh, She's Done It Again' by Herman's Hermits

This is so unfair.

Why does she always get her own way?

Years of practice.

I think he genuinely wants to help.

I remember the feeling. Just wanting to do something.

There he is.

Scott! Wait there!

What are you doing?

Well, I needed to get some more stuff

and I thought if I came back

I might remember something and I did.

Look, last night, after I woke up, I...

-I heard someone running off. - Inside the house?

No, no, it was outside. Look, this ay.

Joe.

Look, I know it's not fair,

but there's something about him

that just makes me feel uncomfortable.

You're right, it's not fair.

Look, it sounded like he went down that way.

I'll tell DI Dawson.

Is there anything else that you can remember?

Oh, we're too late. They've all gone in.

And whose fault's that?

If your little friend, Dawn, hadn't stuck her oar in,

I'd have been here hours ago.

-I feel a bit bad about Dawn. - Oh, never mind that.

Come on, we can still grab 'em on the way out.

Come on. Back it up. Nearer the wall.

Ma'am!

That just might be our m*rder w*apon.

I'll get it to Forensics.

Mr Bellingham's got golf clubs.

- Are you sure about that? - He keeps them in his car.

SIGHS

Excuse me.

Not again.

We just need to confirm a few things.

Do you own a set of golf clubs?

What's that to do with anything?

Could we see them, please?

Are they all there?

- No, the putter's missing. -Do you know where it is?

No, I've no idea.

Vivienne Mackay was k*lled by a blow to the head.

We think it may have been from a golf club.

Hold on. You don't think I did it.

Not if you were somewhere else.

We need to establish when you came home.

If your wife here?

SIGHS

Shall we?

SIGHS

JOE: Mrs Bellingham.

We're making enquiries into the m*rder of Vivienne Mackay.

Who?

Hasn't your husband told you about this?

I've no idea what you're talking about.

What does he want?

Oh, it's some jobsworth

going on about licences and whatnot.

-Just ignore it. - Are we not meant to be here?

Well, so he says.

But what's he gonna do about it?

'Ee, David, that smells really good!

DAVID CHUCKLES

DAWSON:When PC Mason interviewed you this morning,

you told him your wife knew you were leaving her.

You were lying.

I wanted her kept out of it.

Me and Viv was a bit of fun. It wasn't going anywhere.

Maureen didn't need to know.

So, the engagement,

the champagne in the pub last night,

that was stringing Vivienne along, was it?

Do I have to spell it out?

I didn't ask Viv to marry me. It was her idea.

She even bought the ring.

I told her it wasn't going to happen

and she threw the ring in my face.

DAWSON:What did you do then?

We carried on back to hers and I calmed her down.

- Did you go into the house? - No.

-Yes, but not for long. - DAWSON: How long?

Five, ten minutes.

-You don't seem very sure. - I didn't time myself.

Look, I left her. I went straight home.

But your wife can't confirm that.

Can't or won't. I slept in the spare room.

We don't know how long you were at the house.

Scott saw me go.

And he could have swiped that golf club too.

Sort of stroke he'd pull.

I told you before, he's a devious little liar.

Hang on a minute.

You lied to me this morning,

you lied to Vivienne and your wife.

Scott isn't the liar here.

Don't take that tone with me. I'm not having it!

You lost your temper when Viv threw that ring, didn't you?

Or did she thr*aten to tell your wife?

You lost your temper and you hit her.

- This is a waste of time! -You've a very short fuse.

No.

Why would Scott lie?

- You k*lled his mother. - No!

Sit down, please, Mr Bellingham.

PC Mason.

DOOR OPENS

I was supposed to be leading that interview.

I'm sorry but he's lying.

We can't prove that. Shouting at him won't help.

What are we going to do?

Keep him here till we've interviewed his wife.

She could be a suspect as well.

She's got reason enough.

MUSIC: 'Standing On The Corner' by The Four Lads

I'm looking for a stolen hot-dog van.

I've heard it was parked here last night.

- Well, it's not here now. - I can see that.

- Where is it? - Cup tie.

It had better be.

What did you tell him that for?

Did you not hear what he said? It's stolen.

Yeah, well, how was I supposed to know?

Oh, it's Vince.

We have to go and warn David and Peggy.

You have. It's nowt to do with me.

You fixed the van. You're in it as much as we are.

CAROL: Hello? Are you all right?

Yeah, I just, er, want to wash these.

Oh, I can do that for you.

OK, thanks.

I hope they'll dry in time. Your dad'll be here soon.

Look, can't I stay here with you?

- Not really. - Why not?

All sorts of reasons. Let's get this washing on.

Can I check something?

You said Scott Mackay came to your house

at half-past three this morning.

..

I've just got the post-mortem report.

The pathologist's certain Vivienne was dead by two.

That doesn't make any sense. There's over an hour missing.

Unless Aston and Bellingham are telling the truth.

Joe, it's me.

I've found something. It's important.

No, you need to see this, Joe.

Yes, now.

Scott was trying to wash his clothes.

I don't think he was wearing the dressing gown.

- What was he wearing then? - There's blood on his shirt.

That's come from a spurting blood wound.

Is he in his room?

Go over to the police house,

call Sergeant Miller and wait there.

- What's going on? - It was Scott.

I think he k*lled his mother.

You've changed your tune.

He came to mine wearing a dressing gown and pyjamas.

Earlier, he'd been wearing this.

- Where did you find it? - Here.

He went back home.

He must have realised we'd find it.

Then he put it into Carol's washing machine.

-Where's Carol? - Over at the police house.

And Scott?

Yeah, but that was just flannel.

Scott?

HUMS SOFTLY

It's Rachel Dawson. We talked this morning.

HUMS 'A WHITER SHADE OF PALE

What is it you want?

Is it about your dad?

You don't have to live with him.

We can sort something out.

HUMS 'A WHITER SHADE OF PALE'

Scott, talk to me.

HUMS

I want Joe.

Hey. This is no good, is it?

Erm, I'm going away.

-Where to? - I'm not telling you.

Carol can drive me.

Why did you do it, Scott?

You...

I thought it'd be hard. But it wasn't.

You know, it's, er,

it's dead easy, k*lling someone.

LAUGHS

He did it. Dead.

That's my flaming van!

- You'll get it back. - Hey!

ENGINE STARTS

She was going to get married. Again!

She said if I didn't like it, she'd send me back to my dad.

-So you k*lled her. - She never listened to me!

It's her fault.

You didn't know. None of you.

I even made you think Bellingham did it.

I could have made you send him to prison.

Is Carol all right? Can I talk to her?

She knew. She was the only one.

You didn't have a clue! No!

Joe!

Get off! Get off!

I'm arresting you for m*rder.

Don't tell my dad.

Please, don't tell my dad.

Well, well, Mrs Armstrong. What a surprise.

You do know this is a stolen vehicle?

-Look, I can explain. - Go on, then.

It's all my fault, but I didn't know it was stolen.

-Where did you get it, then? - Do I have to tell you?

I'd let him explain. It's her cousin Vince.

Oi! Oi, stop!

- DAVID: Hey. Hey, come back. - PEGGY: Oh, no.

That's my van.

What have you done to my van?

Oh, dear.

-Peggy! - PEGGY: I know it's not...

Evening.

Your cousin's been charged with stealing a motor vehicle

and, given his previous,

you may not see him again for quite a while.

I swear I didn't know it was stolen.

You should have guessed, knowing Vince.

To be fair, he has confirmed you couldn't have known.

So I'm willing to let it go.

Thanks, Mr Wetherby.

Look, I'd buy you all a drink to say sorry, but I'm skint.

We were going to go -.

'Ey, we didn't make a sausage.

We've all had enough of sausages for one day,

thank you, madam.
