Have you seen him?

Look, er,

CAT MEOWING

CAR HONKS

BRAKES SCREECH

DAVID: By heck, they're shifting.

Flaming lunatics. Where do theythink they are, Brands Hatch?

They'll be practising for the rallyat the weekend.

Really. They'll be practisingsomewhere else,

if it were aught to do with me.

They've stopped.The contractions have stopped.

Baby must've, er, changed its mind.

You, er, wouldn't be able todrop us off, wouldya?

Thanks very much.

You really shouldget yourself checked out.

Yeah, right. Thanks.

Good job, eh?

Shouldn't have had to do it,should I?

Got the gear though.

Chocolate biscuits.

Glass o' cherries.

What are we gonna do with them?Bake a cake?

And when we've got anothermouth to feed, what then?

- What's the matter with you?- You'll figure it out.

I just got her comfortable,told her to relax, keep breathing.

Well, you know,just common sense, really.

Ah, Bellamy,you'll be interested to hear,

I've just been speakingto the hospital.

Oh, yes, Sarge. Mother and babydoing well, are they?

No, as it happens.

As a matter of fact,they never made it to the hospital.

I understand Mr Marston accused

the young lady's husbandof shoplifting.

Yes, Sarge.

Did you make any enquiriespursuant to that?

Well, we were ratherovertaken by events, Sarge.

He was, er, helping herwith her breathing exercises, Sarge.

Weren't you?

Well, Bellamy, it would appearthat today was not actually the day

for the child to make its entranceinto the world.

Ah, someone to see you, Phil.

Hello, Philip.

Gran.

Pregnant mothers. OAPs.Whatever next?

Gran,I can't keep driving you up here.

Bridge is one of my few pleasures.

Bridge club was supposed to bea couple of times a week.

Not every other day.

Are there no clubs in town?

You get a better gameup at the rest home.

They're sharpas rusty razors up there.

Gran! Don't touch that.

I'm supposed to be on my lunch hour.

If Craddock finds out...

You will be picking me up later,won't you?

You can't keep doing that, Dad,bothering the police.

Getting into trouble again,are we, Ernest?

I'll take these through.

This was nearly full yesterday.

You haven't drunk up...Have you been having someone round?

Colin.

Colin. Honestly, Dad,you mean you've drunk it all.

His birthday.

Colin, Colin, Colin.

The parties we hadwhen he was a boy.

All his friends over. Remember?

Colin's birthdays. Yes, I do.

Grew up so fast.

So tall for his age.

HE CHUCKLES Wasn't scared of anyone.

Fine soldier.

But you don't think...

Ready, love?

SHE CLICKS TONGUE Dad, I've got to go.

I've left you some lunch. I'll popback later and make you supper.

You don't have to.

Go on. Off you go, then.

Come on, Gina.You don't want to miss the fun.

You map read, I'll drive.

Let me think about it.

What's to think about?

It's not likeyou've got anything else on, is it?

Oh, hang on. I get it.

It's him, ain't it?

Sorry?

What's this Andy bloke got over me?

You got plans?

- Maybe.- Maybe.

Look. I'm not sure, Phil. OK?

OK.

Lovely. Isn't that quaint?

Is this where we sign upfor the car rally?

Yeah.

Jonno Metcalf, plus Lucy Goodenough,my brilliant navigator.

You get Goodenough minor.

Sorry, old sport,but somebody's got to hold his hand.

I haven't saidwhom I'm going with, yet.

Of course, you're going with me.

Toby'll take care of the little bro.

Then it's just you,me, and the open road.

Toby Alcock. Stick me down too.

Right. That's five shillings each.

I think I'll be spendingthe weekend in bed.

I've been looking forwardto this all year.

Two pints of bitter, a Babycham,

and an orange juice,whilst you're about it.

Good girl.

I've a good mind to showthese local yokels the way to do it.

Let you what, Phil, count me in.

We'll show themwhat the yokels can do.

Yeah. Great.

Oh, no!SHE LAUGHS RAUCOUSLY

Saved you some lunch, Colin.

That's nice.

Jenny's cooking?

How is Jenny?

I wish there'd beenmore time between us.

So little time.

So many things to talk about.

I talk to Jenny,but it's not the same.

I thought she was your favourite.

No.

So much missed.

So many birthdays.

But I said to go.

King and Country.

I made you.

The telegram coming.

Your mother's face.

I'll never forget it.

Hitler had to be stoppedand he was stopped.

Lots of young men died.You're not to blame.

Still got the medals.

You should be proud.

Really proud.

That's nice.

Take it.

Really?

Go on.

Birthday present.

Thanks.

Now what about a drink?

Well, I hope he recovers soon.

Okay. Tada.

Who was that?

Mrs Potter.Her husband's had a car accident.

Oh... Well, this could be the endof the rally.

Can't we have it without him?

Ah, depends how far he's got.

He's supposed to bemapping out the route.

And, er, writing out the clues.

Great. Looks like my weekend plansare down the pan again.

Stop whatever the hell you're doing.Buck up, man.

Dad, it's only me.

- Hello, love.- Hello.

Now, I've got yousome nice lamb chops.

I didn't have timeto get that prescription,

I'll bring it round tomorrow.

What are those doing open?

You'll catch a cold.

Where's the silver bowl?

Eh?

The one you keep your keys in.Have you moved it?

Has someone been in here?

Is that why the windows were open?

I'm going to call the police.

You don't knowwhat's going on half the time.

Hi, Gina.

I'm afraidI want all the registration forms,

the, er, the fees and owt elseyou've got for the car rally.

You what?

I'm afraidI'm the new official organiser.

Since when?

Since I sorted it outwith Mrs Potter.

Don't worry.I've got a letter authorising me.

There it is.

It's all above board.

I want a receipt.

You can have one.

I'll even give you onein joined-up writing.

And you're a witness to this, David.

Here we are.HE TEARS SLIP

There it is.

Right. David.

Let's get to work.

I'll lay ya how it went by.

Hiya.

Hello.

Hello?

Is that all I'm getting?

SHE SIGHS Well, what were you expecting?

A brass band?

I'm sorryI didn't call before, Gina.

I've been stuckon that blooming rig.

The company made us workanother two days at short notice.

Oh, you were going to call,were you?

Yeah. We were going to meet up.

Oh, that's right. Yeah.

But it wasn't definite though,was it?

Back again, Mr Ryan?

I couldn't keep away.

I've been thinkingabout you all week, Gina.

Bitter, wasn't it?GLASS CLINKS

Did you fancy having a goat this car rally?

If you're not too busy?

I can't.I said I'd navigate for a mate.

What? In your bubble car?

No.

Anyway, what's wrong with my car?

Nothing, I mean...

So long as you're happy with it.

Yeah. I'm very happy with it,thank you very much.

It gets me where I want to go.

Anyway, I can't stand roundchatting all day.

It doesn't look likethey've been forced.

You didn't hear or see anything,did you, Ernest?

No.

Have you had any visitorsto the house lately?

Only Colin.

Colin?Why do you keep talking about Colin?

It was his birthday.

What do you mean, Dad?Colin can't have been here.

No! I didn't say he was.

I'm sorry. Maybe,there hasn't even been a burglary.

That's all right. I'll ask around

and see if anyone's seen anything.

He ought to have movedinto a home long ago.

He can't reallylook after himself anymore.

ERNEST: Jenny! Jenny!

Maggie.

Hello.

Oh, Mike, come in.I'm in the kitchen.

Is he, er,is he letting you get any sleep?

Oh, thanks. I look that bad, do I?

No! No. You should let ustake him off your hands

for a couple of nights.

Oh, well. How aboutthe next few minutes?

Oh. Hello, Sam.

Hello.

You want to watch it,

or Jackie'll be getting broody.HE CHUCKLES.

Er, Maggie, just to warn you,

erm, Mr Dewhurst'smay have been burgled earlier.

So, er, so be careful.

And if you see anythingsuspicious...

Well, I did see somebodyhanging around.

He was on the other sideof the road,

so I didn't geta very good look at him.

He was wearing some kind of uniform.

Uniform?

So er... Whereabouts is this thingheaded, eh?

YORKSHIRE ACCENT Up hill and down dale, I suppose?

I'm afraid, you'll have to findyour own way round,

same as everybody else.

I'm hopeless with these things,that's all. No sense of direction.

But...

I could make it worth your while.

HE HESITATES. Oh, well.

I suppose we could come to

some sort of arrangement.HE CHUCKLES

Between you and I...

There's a lot more at stake to this,you see.

If I can win this,Lucy will be ever so impressed.

And, erm...

Well, I'll be, you know... in there.

She's lovely, she is.

You start that game, I'll have youtaken to the vet. Right.

I'm not surehow this happened, Greengrass,

but let me remind you,

I'm still chief marshalof this rally, as I am every year.

Oh, don't worry, Oscar.

If you want to go and playat directing traffic,

that's all right with us.If you'll excuse us.

How are they? Are they all meantto get back here, then?

What are you on about?

Isn't this meant to go roundin a big circle?

Oh. He's not finished it, has he?

That's obviouslywhere he had his accident.

What?

- Oh, no.- What?

Well,he's done all the clues in rhyme.

Hey! I mean,I could do you some rhyming clues.

I'm sure you can.

Everybody'd finish upin Outer Mongolia.

What's wrong?

Josie. She's been on and on at me.

Jenny's the same.

It's just we're having a baby.

You know, what that means,food, baby's clothes, nappies.

Where can I getthat sort of money, me?

Get a job.

Me? I'm good for nothing.

A no-good good-for-nothing,that's what she says.

You couldn't spare us some, Ernest?

Only if you can. I'll pay you back.

Huh!

Look, it's just, I'm really upagainst it or I wouldn't ask.

Thanks.

Should be enough for some groceries,the price of things these days.

I reckon, we'll be the team to beat.

Can Gina read a map?

She's anorexic, you know.

Don't you mean dyslexic?

Oh, she's that as well.TELEPHONE RINGS

Ashfordly Police.

Right. Have you called an ambulance?

We'll be right over.Don't touch a thing.

Robbery, Sarge. At Mr Dewhurst's.

Son-in-law found him unconscious.

It's a bad head injury.

I'd better get back to Sam.

- Yes. Thank you, Maggie.- All right.

MICHAEL: Do you knowwhat's been taken?

Er, an antique silver coffee pot,his photo frames, and...

Jenny will be able to tell youbetter than I can.

He was right here.

Must have lain there all night,poor old chap.

- No sign of broken glass?- The French windows were open.

What time did you find him?

About :.

One of us calls round each morning,fortunately.

I called you straight away.

And Maggie Boltongot here quite quickly.

Do you knowif he had anyone round last night?

No, not that I know of.

Why?

Two glasses.

Whisky.

Oh, what does that mean?

You think he might have knownwhoever did this?

We need to keepan open mind at the moment.

I don't think you'd sit downand have a drink with a burglar.

Now, if I were you,I'd start by talking to them.

HE SIGHS Pitched up a couple of weeks ago.

A right pair of ne'er-do-wells.

They've got troublewritten all over them.

The Aycliffes.

Yes. They are known to us.

Sorry.

For what?

Insulting your car.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

I was thinkingof getting something else anyway.

Yeah. Such as?

I haven't decided yet.

Well, something with a bit moreunder the bonnet.

Bit more oomph.

Yeah.

Maybe, er, maybe I could help youlook for one.

Morning.

HE SIGHS What do you want?

We'd like a word please,Mr Aycliffe.

RAYMOND: Have you beento Mr Dewhurst's house?

No. Why would I?

- To borrow a cup of sugar?- It's still no.

Is he going to be all right?

Why do you ask?

I just wondered that's all.What's wrong with that?

We don't know yet,but he, er, looks pretty bad.

Where were you last night,if you don't mind me asking?

Stuck in here, same as always.

Married bliss, eh?

Where's your wife now?

Said somethingabout going into town.

Listen, just 'cause I livein this flea pit,

it doesn't make me a villain.

I bet you're not even searchinganywhere else.

You were involved insome kinda trouble

at the local store yesterday.Weren't you?

Yeah. That was a...That was a misunderstanding.

Really?

Well, see there are no moremisunderstandings,

would you Mr Aycliffe.

Good day to you.

I wonder if his concern forMr Dewhurst was entirely selfless?

Oh, he did seem very interestedfor someone who's never met him.

Light Infantry.

It'll be off someone's uniformor jacket.

Same regimentas Colin Dewhurst was in.

I don't think it's the same Colin.He's been dead for years or more.

Very astute, Ventress.

Maggie saw someone in a uniformnear Mr Dewhurst's house

at the time of the first break-in.

Well, why would a burglarbe wearing an army uniform?

It doesn't make sense.

I think you better pay Mr Aycliffeanother visit, Bradley.

See what you can find outabout this button.

If we carry on this road for a bit,

there's a turning to the leftthat'll get back round to the start.

- Right.- No, left.

It's a good job I'm driving.DAVID LAUGHS

Wait, wait, wait, look.Look, that'll be it.

Now, all we need is the clue.

Hey, how about the cows?

Yeah, that,yeah, that'll be all right.

"Where beasts do roam.

"You can smell the dung."

You little Wordsworth.

"Where beasts do roam,you can smell the dung."

"Take the turning left,

"it's not far-flung."

You're a poet, Mr Greengrass.

I'm surprised you didn't know it.Here, cop hold.

Oh, whoops-a-daisy!

There's onlybabies' clothes in there.

What's going on?

They're turning us over.Don't ask me why.

Get out of there.

Funny kind of baby clothes.

Were you hoping he'd grow into it?

Is it against the lawto own an army jacket now?

What's this?METAL CLINKING

Family silver?

So, Mr Aycliffe,how did you come by this?

He gave it me.

And what about his son's jacket?Did he give you that too?

How do you know it's his son's?

There's probably loadsof them old jackets around.

Not with his serial number on it.

I went there a few nights agoto, to have a look round.

He starts calling me Colin.I didn't know who this Colin was.

So, we get chatting.He's had a bit to drink.

He starts talking about the Warand everything.

Keeps going on about his son.

You were pretending to be his son?

I just played along.

Seemed like he just wanted someoneto talk to.

We had a few drinks. That's all.

And you enjoyed the evening so muchyou went back again.

He wanted me to.

What happened last night?Did you get into a fight?

No. When I left him, he was fine.

He'd had a bit to drinkbut that's all.

I didn't do any burglary.

Aye. This is the turning.

All we need is a clue.

Hey, how about that scarecrowover there?

Yeah. That'll do.

"See the scarecrow

"in the field."

"The way he points

"the road home will yield."

HE CHUCKLES I sometimes wonder how I do it.

Somethingyou might be interested in.

Pilbrow's Antiques.

Brought this morning by a womandescribed as heavily pregnant.

Oh, I don't thinkwe need look too far for her.

Right, er, Hold on.

Phil...

There's been some troubleup at the old folks' home.

- Now, then, young man.- Ah, Greengrass. Just the man.

I think I might have what you want.

David, go and get the drinks in,will you?

I might have enough moneyto pay for them in a minute.

Here. Here's a map of the route.Keep it to yourself.

And, er, what about the clues?

You don't need the clues,you got the map.

But they're on the other bit

and I've written down the placesthe clues refer to.

'Cause you'll have togive that to Blaketon

to prove you know where you've been.

'Cause the others will have towork out the clues themselves,

which might takea little bit longer.

HE LAUGHS Ah, good show.

I've never seen those things before.

How many pregnant womenfitting your description,

do you think there are round here?

Your husband's already admittedbeing in the house last night.

The two of you in this together?

He robs the old man?You sell on the stolen property?

No!

That's what it looks like to me.

You'll find yourselves standingin the dock together at this rate.

It's not a very auspicious startto motherhood, is it?

You don't frighten me.

HE SCOFFSOf course, I don't need to tell you

what will happenif Mr Dewhurst dies.

Still, I expect they'll let yousee the baby every few weeks.

At visiting time.

I took a few things to sell.That's all.

Where did you get them from?

I found them in the car.

And your husband hid them there?

Well, I don't know.You better ask him.

Did he say anything to youabout what happened last night?

No.

But you know he'd been going roundto Mr Dewhurst's?

Has he been stealing from him?

No! Just getting drunk on whiskyand dribbling his life away.

Ain't that what men do best?

Wild horseswouldn't drag me back in here.

What's happened, Mr Temple?

They were playing cards. Gambling.

Tempers got frayedand there was a fracas.

It were a minor disagreement.

- Were you gambling, Gran?- What if we were?

You're turning my rest homeinto an illegal gambling den.

Oh, put a sock in it.

And don't you tell meI'm old enough to know better.

Your grandmother's card circleis getting out of control.

I'm not going to condoneillegal activities.

Sounds like a sensible decision.

We've found the propertyand made two arrests.

It looks like the burglarwas a young man, Mark Aycliffe.

Do you know him?

He says you do.

Perhaps I do.

He says he's been visiting youover the last few days.

Did he come over last night?

I don't remember.

Did you give Mark anything?

A silver bowl?

This is very important, Mr Dewhurst.

I might have.

Don't tell Jenny.

BRADLEY SIGHS

Has he been tryingto pass himself off as someone else?

Who?

Your son.

Colin.

What are you talking about?

I don't remember.

My mind's...

blank.

OK.

Well, you let me knowif any of it comes back.

Ah, PC Bradshaw.

Bradley.

Yes.

You might be interested to know

we discovered glass fragmentsaround Mr Dewhurst's wound.

Glass?

Yes. I thoughtmaybe he was hit by a glass object.

A heavy paperweight or an ashtray.That sort of thing.

Right. Thanks, doctor.

You're welcome.

Andy, I'm meant to be working.

They won't miss you for a minute.

SHE SIGHS You're a distraction, you are.

- What do you reckon?- Eh?

Your new car. Do you like it?

SHE SCOFFS What do you mean, me new car?

I bought it off a mate.

He couldn't keep up his payments,so wanted to sell it off quick.

I can't afford this!

Don't worry about that.Chip in what you get selling yours.

- The rest is on me.- Don't be silly.

Come on. Get in.Get behind the wheel.

I don't believe it.SHE CHUCKLES

Maggie reckonsshe saw the car there at :.

But Ross didn't call us until :.

More than enough timeto clear up a broken decanter.

Yeah. But what was Rosseven doing there that morning?

It's usually Jenny who keeps an eyeon her father.

What would Mr Hammond have to gain

from staging a burglaryat his father-in-law's?

Good morning, Mr Hammond.We'd like a word if you don't mind.

Yeah, certainly.

Exactly what timedid you find Mr Dewhurst?

It was just before I called you.

You called us immediately?

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

Look, you've got the man who did it.

What's it matterwhat time I found him?

You didn't come acrossa broken decanter yesterday morning?

No, I didn't.

Do you often goand see Mr Dewhurst in the morning?

Sometimes.

How often exactly?

Well, usually it's Jenny.But her bike had a puncture.

Do you want me to show you?It's in the garage.

What's this?

We broke a bottle of wine yesterday.Didn't we, love?

Yes.

It smells more like whisky.And, er...

looks more like a decanter.

Gran.

I've decided to hold it at home.

What?

The bridge club.

Well, if Mohammedwon't go to the mountain,

then the mountainshall come to Mohammed.

And you can drive the others over.

OK. Look,we'll talk about this later, eh?

It's not till :, you canpick up on the way home.

RAYMOND: Through here, please,Mr Hammond.

Ashfordly Police.

Oh, hello, Gina.

I've seen him up at the home.Is he in trouble?

Never mind.

I've seen him talking to that,bleh, Mr Temple.

Maybe they're plotting something.

Right. I'll tell him straight away.

It's Gina.

She can't do your car rallywith you this afternoon.

But we've only gota couple of hours.

How am I going to findsomebody else now?

We know Mr Dewhurst was hitwith a whisky decanter.

Then we findthe broken decanter in your dustbin.

Someone must have planted it there.Probably Mark Aycliffe's wife.

It's some way to your housefrom the caravan,

Mrs Aycliffe is heavily pregnant.

Why did you tellit was a wine bottle?

I got confused.

Maggie Bolton says she saw your car

minutes or morebefore you went over.

Somebody cleared up that smasheddecanter very thoroughly.

I'd had time to do it.That's what you're saying?

Why on earth should I robmy own father-in-law?

Didn't the valuables end upin the Aycliffes hands.

You know what?I think I might go with Toby.

Swap with you, Timmy.

Hey? You can't.Lucy, we can win this thing.

Bad luck, old boy.She's thrown her lot in with me.

Five quid saysI'll whip you round this.

£ says you won't.

Done. I'll see you at the finish.

I'll save yousome winner's champagne

if it hasn't already gone flat.

SHE LAUGHS

Now show me.Where's this thing go again?

- Follow the arrows.- Which way?

The way they're pointing.

Oh. Got it. Right.

Silly of me.

I've got to beat him. Got to.

They'll be more for youif I do, a lot more.

By, erm, any means possible.

Aye. Just, just follow the map.

You'll walk it.

Oh, Sarge, Mr Hammond was upat the home a couple of days ago.

And?

Well, he put down a deposit

to hold a placefor his father-in-law.

Reckoned he'd be moving very soon.

I see.

A bit of a coincidence, ain't it?

One minute he's doing that, next,he's a suspect in a robbery.

Yes.

Thank you, Bellamy.

Right. The rules of the road apply.

So I want some good,sensible driving.

Stand by.

Five... four... three...

two... one... Go!

ALL: Hurrah!

You'd better get in the truck,David.

Me?

I think our man might needa bit of help. Come on.

ALL CLAPPING

Mr Hammond, have you suggestedto your father-in-law

that he goes into a home?

Why is this a police matter?

Well, it's pretty obvious thatif Mr Dewhurst was put in a home,

then you might benefit.

Big house,possible chance of some money.

What are you saying?

Did you stage a robberyto try and intimidate him

by making him feel unsafein his own house?

I think you've read oneAgatha Christie too many, Constable.

But you have been checking outlocal rest homes. Hill House?

Yes.

Yes, Jenny asked meto make a few enquiries,

just to get,get an idea of the cost.

Oh. So this came from Jenny?

All right. It was my idea.

Why did you put down a deposit?

Oh, this is madness!

The owner told methat was the only way

we could keep a place open.

My father-in-lawcan't look after himself.

Jenny's been worried sick about him.

You've got thisall the wrong way round.

What's he stopped there for?

He's, he's flaming useless, him.

Probably, just be working outhis clues.

He doesn't have to, does he?

He's not another memberof your family, is he?

Hey! Look there, they're doing well.

Oh, they are. A bit too well.

What did they do?

If we go up to Jackson's,

we can, we can be thereabout ten minutes before them.

What are we going to do there?

The word skulduggery comes to mind.

HORN BEEPS

Quick. Make it point the other way.

Don't pull it out, David!

Just stick it back in again.Come on.

David, please.Stick it. Come on, stick it.

Hey, the car! They're coming.You'll have to take its place.

Well, point!

Not that way. The other way.

No, David. David the other way.

No, David!

Oh, look, Toby, there's a scarecrow.

- It's pointing that way.- Smashing.

HE GROANS

You've sent them the right way!

Ernest?

Forced march.

Let's get you inside, Ernest.

Jenny? Jenny?

It's all right, Ernest.It's all right.

You'll see Jenny very soon.

- My pills.- Come on, Ernest.

Let's just get you comfortable.Here, sit down.

There you go.

Did she go to the chemist?She's a good girl, Jenny.

I haven't been good to her.

Colin was the one.

Father and son.

You take that.Now, how many of these do you take?

Dad?

Are you all right?

You shouldn't haveleft the hospital.

Who got these from the chemist,Mrs Hammond?

What? Er, I did.

But they're dated yesterday.

And they were herewhen we came after the burglary.

Well, so?

Well, you told us thatyou didn't come here that morning.

Mr Greengrass,should we be doing this?

No. But we have to tryand stop him somehow.

TIRES SCREECH

HE EXCLAIMS

- What were they doing there?- You were driving too fast.

Me? I wasn't expectingto find milk churns in the road.

You wentto your father's house that morning?

I saw two glasses out.

So I knew he'd come back.

The man Dad thinks is Colin.

Dad pretended he didn't knowwhat I was talking about.

But I realisedwhat had been going on.

What then?

I wanted to call the police.

And Dad got angry.

Started shouting.

I saw the whisky decanter.

Empty again.

I told himthere'd be no more alcohol.

He told me to get out,said I made his life a misery.

After everything I've done for him.

He said all he really wanted

was one more day with Colin.

I lost my temper.

Threw the decanter at him.

He was just lying there,unconscious.

I thought I might have k*lled him.

I called Ross.

And your husband drove over?

Yes.

He said I should leavethe back way in case anyone saw.

And did he tell youhe intended to blame

the whole thing on Mark Aycliffe?

He only did it to help me.

He saidhe had to make it look realistic

or no-one would believe us.

I was frightened.

I thought I could go to jail.

I'm sorry.

They're here.

ALL: Hurrah!

ALL CLAPPING

Ah, first home?

I say, great fun.

Tim was a simply brilliantnavigator. A genius.

Here's my sheet with the clues on.

Right. You're one of the first off.

So we'll have to seehow the others do.

I've noted your time.

I thinkI'll get a celebratory drink,

just in anticipation, of course.- All right.

A few tricky moments out there.But wow.

You, you won't forgetthe extra umpence, will you?

Let's just seewhether I've won first, shall we?

You heard what he said.

Was that TobyI saw stuck in a field back there?

Yeah. Er, I,I believe he ran into a cow's nest.

Mind you, these roads round hereare very dodgy

unless you're used to 'em.

Ah, yes. Jolly good.

Phil.

Don't ask.

I've given up.

He'd promised,it's bridge in half an hour

and we've got to pick the others up.

There's only one thing for it.

What's that then?

Is Jenny in trouble?

Well, it'll go to court.

But hopefully, they'll realiseshe didn't mean any harm.

Your son-in-law may havea few more problems, though.

What with staging a burglaryand then blaming Mark Aycliffe.

It's not been fair on Jenny,all of this.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Hello, there.

Back on your feet?I thought these might cheer you up.

Very nice.

Did you pay for them?

Yeah, of course.

Are you in trouble too?

Nope.

They had to let me off sinceyou said you gave me those things.

They can have it.

Too much. Too many stairs.

Too many memories.

What are you saying, Ern?

I'm going to go to the home.

I don't wantto be on my own anymore.

I should have gone a long time ago.

I'll come visit you,up at Hill House.

I'll bring the baby.

I'd like that, Colin.

Mark.

HE CLICKS TONGUE It'll work out.

Yes.

Greengrass. Where is everyone?

Look, if they can't read a mapand a couple of clues,

it's not my fault.

If nobody turns upin the next five minutes,

this car rallywill be null and void.

Hey, here's one. Here's one.Well done, Phil.

You've, you've just comea distant second.

I retired, Claude.I'm on my way to drop this lot off.

Gran's bridge club.

ALL: Hello.

I wouldn't hold your breathfor the others either.

Greengrass, as chief marshal,I am abandoning this car rally.

Which means you'll refund

all the competitorstheir entry fees.

You what?

Where are the entrance fees?

Oh, they're in a box in the truck,Mr Greengrass.

Thank you, David.You're always there when I want you.

What a disaster.

It seemsto have turned out all right.

Winning isn't everything.

Oscar's going to wonderwhere I've got to.

Lost.

The perfect excuse.

Yeah, thanks to Claude.

And you may be missingfor some time.
