David, what have you got on your head?

Oh, this? It's a genuine Casey Jones train driver's hat.

I got it from a catalogue.

Well, you must have more money than sense. You look like a lemon.

Oh, stop bickering, you two. Summat's coming.

- Is that it? - Oh, isn't it beautiful?

We're having a spot of boiler trouble.

expl*si*n

- BERNIE: What now? - It looks like it's d*ed.

Don't say that, Aunt Peg. I don't like it when things die.

- What's the problem? - Boiler's blown.

Gonna have to take the driver into Whitby to get some help.

You can't leave that in the middle of the road.

It's blocking my entrance.

If you think you can move it, Bernie, be my guest.

CAR HORNS HONK

I have a bad feeling about this.

CARS TOOTING THEIR HORNS

POLICE SIREN

GEOFF: I need your names and address.

James and Eva Knight, Holly Cottage.

I tried to brake when I saw you, but nothing happened.

When were the brakes last checked?

I can assure you the van is perfectly roadworthy.

I check it myself every Saturday morning.

James was a t*nk officer during the w*r.

- Is everything all right? - No, it's not.

I'm impounding your vehicle for inspection.

You ought to have that seen to in Casualty.

- Oh, no, no. - Eva's not very keen on hospitals.

Well, at least let me take you home. Give the cut a clean.

Well, we'd better take the new clay with us.

It will dry out if we leave it here.

We must give you something for your trouble.

That's not necessary. It's my job. I don't need paying.

James is a potter. He's made some lovely milk jugs.

Eva does the glazing. That's where the real beauty lies.

We're a team.

- Come on. See what you think. - All right.

But if I see anything I like, I'm paying for it.

Eva, don't go in there.

James, I've got to put this clay down somewhere.

- JAMES: What are you doing? - CAROL: Calling the police.

JOE: Come on, quick as you can, please. Thank you.

Everything all right?

I thought you were diverting traffic away from the village?

I've got an accident to sort out.

How long are we going to have to put up with this?

Sorry, Bernie. The owner was aware it was on its last legs

but couldn't afford the repair.

So they're just leaving ten tonne of scrap iron

half blocking the road indefinitely?

I think I need a lie down.

I could do with your help recovering a vehicle, Mr Scripps.

We'll never get the truck out with this in the way.

I'll give you a hand.

It's about time you did something useful.

Let's get the trailer off.

JOE: Geoff. Keep this traffic moving.

Delta Alpha Two-Four receiving, over.

ALF: 'Report of a break-in at Holly Cottage, Brock Lane.'

'It was Carol that called. It sounded quite serious.'

JOE: On my way. Out.

I hope this obstruction isn't going to be here long.

I'm showing a group from the Best Kept Village around tomorrow.

This is the last thing they'll want to see.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Go back.

Back up.

- JOE: Ar-bate mackt free? - EVA: Arbeit Macht Frei.

It means work makes you free.

It's what the Nazis put over their concentration camp gates.

What's that got to do with you?

I'm Jewish. It's not something I tell everyone.

Neither of us are particularly religious.

Was this window already broken?

Yes, we've been broken into before.

- Recently? - Tuesday.

You didn't report it?

We thought it was just children.

Nothing was taken. They just left a mess.

- JOE: Nothing like this? - No.

- You've no idea who's responsible? - No.

You haven't seen anyone hanging round the cottage?

Or had an argument with someone?

We tend to keep ourselves to ourselves.

I'll ask around. Perhaps someone saw something.

- We don't want a big fuss. - The w*r's been over a long time.

I understand. But this is serious malicious damage.

We can't just ignore it.

JOE: I didn't expect this sort of thing here in Aidensfield.

We have our own share of bigots, I don't doubt.

Not ones who go round vandalising innocent people's homes.

Have you checked with the neighbours?

No-one saw anything unusual.

Alf, call Division.

See if any similar incidents have been reported.

- Righto, Sarge. - I'm sure it must be someone local.

James Knight told me they'd been broken into before.

Ask around the village. Somebody may know something.

BERNIE: Come on. Right, that'll do for now.

Hello. What time do you call this?

GEOFF: I've spoken to the highways department.

Apparently the only low loader they've got

that can shift a traction engine is too big for the country roads.

You promised Councillor Jowett you'd have it shifted by tomorrow morning.

Well, I may have been a bit rash.

I still think she's beautiful.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, David.

- Has there been an accident? - Brake failure.

We've got to do an investigation.

- Was someone hurt? - Not seriously.

There was some damage to police property, though.

Sorry. Do you want a butterscotch?

- Who's she? - She's staying at the pub.

BERNIE: Where are you going?

PEGGY: I've just remembered, I've got to make a phone call.

MUSIC: 'Three Hours' by Nick Drake

JOE: What do you know about James and Eva Knight?

Is this to do with their accident this morning?

No. They've had a couple of break-ins.

Someone painted n*zi slogans on their walls.

That can't have been very pleasant for Eva.

I don't know exactly what she went through during the w*r,

but I'm sure it was no picnic.

Do you know how she came to be here in England?

She was a nurse. She looked after James

when he lost a leg in the liberation.

Because she was Czech,

they threatened to send her back to the Russian side.

So James married her and brought her home.

How about someone that might have a grudge against her?

I can't imagine James or Eva upsetting anyone.

They're a lovely couple.

- How's the research going? - Fine, thank you.

Miss Barnes here is a student of genealogy.

She's here in Aidensfield researching her family history.

This is Joe Mason. Our village copper.

Hello.

Could I have a bitter lemon, please?

Of course.

Joe. Sorry. Mr Scripps has checked over the Knights' van.

He says there's summat you ought to see.

I've phoned Don and he's going to pick up James Knight

and bring him over in case he can explain it.

Here we are.

BERNIE: The brake pipe's damaged in several places.

That's simply not possible. I check everything regularly.

If you look carefully at the pipe, you can clearly see scratch-marks.

Thanks. I'm afraid Bernie's right.

Someone's been at the pipe with a hacksaw.

Who would want to tamper with my brakes?

The same person who broke into your house

and daubed your walls with n*zi slogans?

DON: Alf's been in contact with Division.

There's been no similar att*cks in the area.

So why would anyone particularly want to hurt Eva?

I don't know.

- Can I help you? - I know what you did.

SCREAMS

GAS HISSING

MUSIC: 'Three Hours' by Nick Drake

I don't know what Eva can tell you that I can't.

If someone did tamper with the brakes of your van,

they meant you some serious harm.

There might be something your wife hasn't mentioned.

Can you smell gas?

HISS OF ESCAPING GAS

COUGHS

Open a window! Get some air through!

- JAMES: Eva! Eva! - Don, help me.

JAMES: Eva, can you hear me?

Down. That's it.

She's unconscious but still breathing.

I'll radio for an ambulance.

Oh, Eva, what have you done?

I don't think your wife did this.

Hey. Cheer up, misery guts.

Peggy Armstrong to the rescue, as ever!

- What've you done now? - I've bought the traction engine.

What?

For a very nominal fee, given the circumstances.

It's broken down. It's not worth a bean.

To some. But there is this little smelter's yard in Middlesbrough

that pays handsome prices for pig iron.

You're going to melt down Goliath? But it's an antique!

Never mind that.

How are you going to shift ten tonne to Middlesbrough?

You can't just hitch it on to David's truck.

I know that. So you're going to have to fix it up for me

so we can drive it to the yard.

Now, how hard is that?

Well, very, I'd imagine. But then I'm no expert.

As you can see, she's still unconscious.

Do you have any idea when she might come round?

CHRIS: How long's a piece of string, constable?

I heard Eva Knight's had another accident.

This definitely wasn't an accident.

Mr Knight, we're having trouble

locating your wife's medical records.

She's not registered with a doctor.

How long have you been living in Aidensfield?

Eva's not keen on doctors or hospitals.

- But she used to be a nurse? - Yes.

I imagine it brings back painful memories.

It's not something we talk about.

Can you tell me anything about Mrs Knight's previous surgery?

There are scars on your wife's lower abdomen.

They've been there as long as I've known her.

Well, we'll just have to proceed cautiously

until she can answer for herself.

I'm sure she'll be fine. She's in good hands.

Look, I'm sorry to ask this now, but when we found your wife,

you seemed worried she might have made an attempt on her own life.

Why did you think she might have done that?

Eva still has nightmares.

She won't tell me what they are but...

I suppose I thought that graffiti brought it all back too vividly.

There was nothing else troubling her?

Not that I know of.

Ah, good morning. Not stopping for breakfast?

I want to get the first bus to York.

I believe this is what I owe for the room.

Thanks. Did you find what you were looking for?

Yes. Thank you.

OSCAR: You know, I never thought of Barnes as a local name.

I'm adopted. My real parents d*ed when I was very young.

Morning.

You found something already?

You said the brake pipe had been cut with a hacksaw.

Looks like you were right.

♪ Sweets for my sweet

♪ Sugar for my honey

♪ Your first sweet kiss...

Morning, Councillor Jowett.

♪ Sweets for my sweet

♪ Sugar for my honey

♪ I'll never ever let you go ♪

I was just wondering that maybe if we did a good enough job,

doing it up, maybe we didn't have to sell it for scrap.

Maybe we could keep it.

I am trying to make some money here, David.

Perhaps I could give rides to all the little kiddies.

It could be like a tourist attraction.

The... Aidensfield... Steam Safari.

A fun day out for all the family.

Don't get your hopes up. That boiler's got two blown pipes

and the others are all corroded. They could go at any time.

Surely you can plug 'em up with summat.

It's not like a pneumatic tyre.

You can't just slap a rubber patch on and hope for the best.

Those pipes have got to withstand

hundreds of pounds of super-heated steam.

Right, then. We'll get you some new ones. Come on, David.

I'm a plumber now, am I?

Do you think they came across the field?

May as well have a scour of the perimeter before we go inside.

Our attacker may have caught his clothing on the hedge.

Can I see that?

- David. Can I have a word? - Oh, what now?

OSCAR: I hope you're not after a drink at this time of the morning.

No. That student you introduced me to.

The one researching her family history?

Yes. Miss Barnes.

How long has she been staying here?

Came in on Tuesday.

The day the Knights were first broken into.

I don't follow.

We found this butterscotch wrapper outside the Knights' cottage.

These are David's favourites. He's always eating these.

He gave one to Miss Barnes yesterday.

Have you seen the state of this towel?

I don't know what she's been doing. It's ruined.

- Where is she? - She left to get the bus to York.

- It must have gone by now. - Thanks.

Sorry.

Good morning.

Good morning, Councillor Jowett.

PC Younger. I understood you were going to do something

about that monstrous metal carbuncle

that is still blocking the Queen's highway in Aidensfield.

I've tried everything I can think of, Councillor Jowett.

I can see how that could be a limitation.

But don't worry. I've been looking into the legalities.

I believe we might get a better result

if we apply the right incentive.

I'm sorry, you've lost me.

I'll explain on our way to Aidensfield.

You want me to come to Aidensfield with you?

I'm sure the exercise will do you good.

I'm afraid we're very busy, Councillor Jowett.

You see, there was a serious as*ault last night.

PCs Mason and Wetherby are dealing with the attempted m*rder.

I'm sure we can spare you for a moment or too.

Thank you, Mr Ventress.

Always ready to oblige, Councillor Jowett.

I'll just be a minute.

- Lisa Barnes? - Yes.

Can you get off the bus, please?

Lisa Barnes, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the attempted m*rder of Eva Knight.

You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so,

but what you say may be put into writing and given in evidence.

She's not dead?

You're admitting you tried to k*ll her?

I don't consider I've done anything wrong.

We can discuss that at the station.

Thank you.

- Mr Scripps! - What? Oh, it's you.

- It's about this traction engine. - I don't want to talk about it.

Well, I'm afraid we must. PC Younger?

Mr Scripps, I am here to inform you that you are in direct contravention

of the Highways Act of and .

With regard to the blocking of roads.

And the Environment Act.

With regard to the unlicensed tipping of metal waste.

And local byelaws B,

C stroke G

and A stroke F (amended ).

With regard to the safe maintenance of the verge,

obstruction of views and fouling of pavements.

Should you fail to rectify the situation

within a reasonable period of this notice,

you will be subject to fines totalling the sum of...

shillings, carry five...

pounds, six shillings and seven pence.

What? It's not even my traction engine.

It belongs to Peggy Armstrong.

It's partly on your property.

That makes it your responsibility.

- But the law is the law. - She's right, I'm afraid.

We'll give you till three o'clock this afternoon.

That's an hour before my committee arrives. I think that's fair.

Excuse me. What are you doing?

You need pipes to repair the boiler.

So, we're bringing you a selection.

You're not bringing that pile of junk in here.

Where else do you want me to stick them?

I won't answer that.

Is this your bag?

JOE: Lisa Barnes.

Can you explain where you found this?

Where were you yesterday between . and .pm?

At the Aidensfield Arms.

The landlord says you went out.

I may have gone for a walk.

GEORGE: Did you go to the Knights' cottage?

I haven't done anything I'm ashamed of.

So you're admitting you att*cked Eva Knight yesterday?

That woman deserves to die.

You seriously believe someone deserves to die

because they're Jewish?

Eva's not Jewish.

She was born Eva Hanacek.

A German-speaking Czech from the Sudetenland.

One of the ones that invited h*tler in

and cheered when his tanks rolled over the border.

She's a n*zi.

And years ago...

..she k*lled my parents!

My parents were Jews from Prague.

When h*tler invaded, they sold what little property they had

and used the money to send me to England.

I was only three years old, but they knew what was coming.

They wanted to save me, even if they couldn't save themselves.

GEORGE: What's all this to do with Eva Knight?

Eva Hanacek...

..was a nurse at Terezin.

A transit camp in Northern Bohemia.

It was where the Nazis sorted Jews from all over Europe.

The fit ones were sent on to Auschwitz.

Those deemed too weak for sl*ve labour

were weeded out, gassed and burnt.

Thousands were k*lled.

And your parents d*ed at Terezin?

Yes.

How do you know all this?

I was brought up in an orphanage.

They told me my parents were victims of the Holocaust.

As soon as I was old enough to work, I started saving money for research.

I had to wait for permission to go to Prague,

where I got copies of records from the camps on the Russian side.

These are my parents' medical records from Terezin,

declaring them unfit for work.

They're signed Eva Hanacek.

Eva was a nurse. Maybe she was just doing her job.

I spoke to survivors. Hanacek was known as the Angel of Death.

If you could pay her, she'd save you.

My parents had nothing. So they were sent to the ovens.

Maybe it was a different Eva Hanacek?

Her date of birth

is on this contract of employment from Terezin.

It's the same as on the identity card I found at the cottage.

This shows Eva worked for the Red Cross, not the Germans.

When the Germans retreated in ,

they handed the camp over to the Red Cross

a week before the Russians arrived.

Hanacek stayed on as a nurse,

then got herself transferred to the British Zone.

A field hospital in Munich for the treatment of Allied soldiers.

- Where she met James Knight. - That was a clever move.

If she'd been sent back to Czechoslovakia,

like other foreign nationals, she'd have been denounced and sh*t.

Instead, I've had to track her across Europe,

via London to here in Aidensfield.

Lisa, I can understand how you might feel.

But you had all this information. Why not go to the authorities?

I've tried. I have written hundreds of letters.

But they're convinced Eva d*ed in a bombing raid in .

People want to forget what happened.

I can't forget.

My parents were gassed and burnt,

like you said, just because they were Jews.

I need justice for them.

Justice for me.

But it's not for you to act as judge and jury.

Why not?

Eva Hanacek acted as judge and jury to my parents.

And she sent them to their death.

My only regret is I haven't sent Eva Hanacek to hers.

That should just about do it.

That's perfect.

So what we've got to do is fit this to the boiler.

You see? That's what I like about our David.

He's got a positive frame of mind.

The advantage of youth over experience.

All right. May as well give it a whirl.

What's the worst than can happen?

We could get the boiler up to pressure and it could explode.

Ask a silly question.

This is a turn up for the books.

Still, it's hard to believe Eva Knight is really a w*r criminal.

Whether it's true or not, Lisa Barnes tried to k*ll someone.

We charge her with attempted m*rder?

Let's be sure of the facts first.

You have to admire her tenacity.

Tracking down Eva on her own can't have been easy.

Call Division. See if we can talk to someone at the Home Office

or whoever deals with w*r criminals.

- Meanwhile, she remains in custody. - Yes.

And let's see what we can find out about Eva Knight's history.

Talk to her husband.

How's he going to react when he hears this about his wife?

HEART MONITOR BEEPS

Has James been here all night?

He wanted to be with her when she woke up.

He's bound to be worried.

They seem very close.

I thought we might go out for a meal tonight.

I've booked us a table

at a restaurant I've been recommended.

It's in a village just outside Whitby.

The food's meant to be very good.

I could cook, instead of going all that way.

I know, but I felt you deserved a treat.

Oh!

- How's Eva? - She's stable.

But otherwise there's not much improvement.

Excuse me, I have to complete my rounds.

Still no clues as to who did this?

We've made an arrest. A young woman's confessed

to sabotaging the Knights' van and attacking Eva.

- It was a woman? - Yeah.

- But why? - What's happened?

James, how much do you know about your wife's past?

Before you met, I mean.

She was a nurse in the Red Cross.

Do you know if she ever worked in German concentration camps?

What? I've told you before, we never talk about these things.

We've caught the woman responsible for attacking Eva.

Her name's Lisa Barnes.

She says she did it

because Eva's responsible for the death of her parents.

I don't understand.

Lisa believes that Eva worked at a camp in Czechoslovakia

where Jews were exterminated if Eva declared them unfit for work.

She thinks your wife is a n*zi w*r criminal.

COUGHS

- PEGGY: Do you think its safe? - BERNIE: No.

Only, I remember this incident on the Filey Line.

A boiler blew on a goods train.

Collapsed a bridge and k*lled the driver.

- Should I put some more coal in? - No. I think there's plenty on now.

You come back here and stand with us while the pressure builds up.

I can't believe what you're telling me.

We're checking with the Home Office, but Lisa showed us documents.

Eva can't be a n*zi w*r criminal. She's Jewish.

You said she never talked about what she did before you met.

I know her. I love her. She couldn't hurt anyone.

I can't believe it. I won't believe it.

I won't believe my wife could have lied to me for all these years.

STEAM WHISTLE TOOTS

- Careful, David. - I'm all right.

Try putting it in gear. See if you can move it forward.

I don't think I can watch this.

Right. How are we going?

I was really hoping you'd have this thing moved by now.

Just one more minute.

Oh, ye of little faith!

Middlesbrough, here we come.

Put the brake on before you hit Councillor Jowett's bicycle.

- Which one is the brake? - I don't know!

I spoke to someone who's in contact with the w*r Crimes Tribunal.

They have records of a nurse named Eva Hanacek of Terezin

who was adjudged a w*r criminal in .

But they haven't been pursuing her cos they thought she was dead.

It's just like Lisa said.

GROANS

She's waking up.

We've had official confirmation.

Lisa Barnes was telling the truth.

It's not my Eva. It can't be.

You'll soon be able to ask her yourselves.

EVA: James?

James?

Shh. You're safe now.

BERNIE: Try pulling that red handle.

- PEGGY: Red handle! - BERNIE: Pull the red handle.

- PEGGY: Oh, heck! - DAVID: Oh, no!

I think I've made it go faster.

Don't put any more coal on, whatever you do.

We'll never keep up with him now.

Does he know where he's going in Middlesbrough?

Thank you.

There was this woman.

She knocked you unconscious and turned on the gas.

It's all right. She's been arrested.

Her name is Lisa Barnes.

She was born Lisa Morakova in Czechoslovakia.

She's telling lies about you.

She thinks you're someone you're not.

CAROL: It's about what you did in the w*r.

She knows what I did?

She says you were a n*zi collaborator.

But she said she knew what I did.

JAMES: Just tell me the truth and I'll believe you.

James.

I'm so sorry. I never meant to lie to you.

You mean they're telling me the truth?

No, it can't be.

It cannot be!

I wanted to tell him...

..when he started talking about us having children.

But I was scared. So scared that he would stop loving me.

I don't blame James for hating me.

It's just as well we couldn't have children.

Why could you not have children?

Because of what they did.

- What who did? - The Nazis.

I thought the woman who att*cked me told you what I was.

They didn't know I was Jewish.

They thought I was just another Slovak.

That's why they chose me.

- JOE: For what? - To go to the Russian front.

To be a nurse?

No!

To be a prost*tute.

Half my life. Half my life I've been living a lie.

How could I be so stupid?

How could I love a woman capable of something so evil?

James. What Eva did...

- ..it's not what we thought. - What do you mean?

Oh, yes, I think we could help you out there, couldn't we, Mr Scripps?

Come on, Bernie.

Mr Robinson. Now...

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Right.

Let's go and see where our David's got to.

Tell me everything. I need to know.

I was born Eva Bezkova. My family were Slovakian.

They were all k*lled by the Nazis.

But I was young and pretty.

They had a use for me.

You could say I was lucky.

But they hurt me so I could never have children.

I didn't feel lucky. Not till I met you.

But you were a nurse when I met you.

Eva never worked as a nurse. At least, not for the Germans.

When the Russians advanced, those weeks were chaos.

I managed to escape from the house where they kept...

..women like me.

I burnt my papers and followed a railway line.

I came to a train that had been hit by a b*mb.

There were bodies everywhere,

and the local people were stripping them, looking for valuables.

There was one young woman lying there. She looked like me.

She had lots of money,

and transit papers from the Red Cross

to take her to the British zone.

JOE: So you took the papers?

Her name was Eva too.

It was like a sign. She was my salvation.

I used her money to get to the British Field Hospital.

It was chaos there too.

Nobody seemed to notice that I didn't know what I was doing.

And then I met you.

I never meant to lie to you.

But if I'd told you the truth, it would have ruined everything.

I told you that you were the first.

But you weren't.

There were hundreds.

Hundreds and hundreds.

I couldn't. I was too ashamed.

- Then it was too late. - I never knew why you...

..why you didn't talk about having a family.

I lied to you. I'm not the woman you married.

Yes. You are.

It's just that I didn't understand. And now I do.

- EVA: Can you forgive me? - There's nothing to forgive.

So Eva Knight is Eva Bezkova, not Eva Hanacek, the Angel of Death?

- That's right, Sarge. - Are you sure about all this?

If she's been lying about her identity for years,

she must be good at it.

Dr Oakley confirmed that she'd been crudely sterilised.

It's what they did, apparently,

so the SS didn't accidentally father a child

that wasn't racially pure.

So Lisa Barnes attempted to k*ll an innocent person?

- Eva doesn't want to press charges. - That's irrelevant, I'm afraid.

It's a Crown Prosecution for attempted m*rder.

All she wanted was justice.

Justice is what she'll get. In a court of law.

PEGGY: He wouldn't have gone down there, would he?

I don't know.

He could be anywhere by now.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Very big needle.

Why don't you just try keeping your eyes peeled

instead of making pedantic comments?

MUSIC: 'Rumble' by Link Wray

You tried to k*ll the wrong person, Lisa.

Eva Hanacek.

Her real name's Eva Bezkova.

She was never a n*zi. She was a victim, like you.

- She lost her family too. - Says who?

She took on Eva Hanacek's identity to escape persecution.

You believe her?

These people will say anything to escape justice.

Lisa. The person who sent your parents to their deaths

was k*lled by a Russian b*mb years ago.

No!

I can understand why you felt driven to do what you did.

But you have to accept, you tried to k*ll an innocent person.

We're sending you to Scarborough for Magistrate's Court tomorrow.

They'll decide if you're to be given bail

or to be held on remand until your trial.

Ten tonne of traction engine can't just go up in a puff of smoke.

Oh, you don't suppose the thing's blown up, do you?

Taken our poor David with it?

I did warn you, Peggy Armstrong. Steam engines are dangerous.

But no, you wouldn't listen.

Not when there's money to be made out of it.

PC Mason. I don't suppose you've had any reports of sightings

of our runaway traction engine?

I'm sorry. I haven't.

Well, we need to report a missing person.

OSCAR: Don't be so dramatic, Bernie.

David's only been gone a couple of hours.

JOE: I'm sure he'll turn up eventually.

BERNIE: If anything happens to that lad, I'm holding you responsible.

Gin and tonic, please, Gina.

- You look nice. - Thanks.

- Have you heard about Eva? - Yeah, Chris told me.

I always found it hard to believe

she could have done something that evil.

That's cos you're the type of person who always sees the best in people.

- GINA: There we go. One G&T. - Let me.

- Right. - Hello.

Chris is taking me to some swanky restaurant near Whitby.

- A swanky restaurant near Whitby? - Apparently.

It was reviewed in The Times. Table's booked for ..

- We've got time for a drink here. - No.

I want the two of us to have a cocktail there first.

All right. Sorry, Gina.

You are allowed to have a life of your own.

You don't have to spend every waking hour with your village friends.

By 'eck. It's Casey Jones.

What happened to you? Did the Indians get you?

It was heading for a tree, so I had to jump off.

The flipping thing kept on rolling. I couldn't keep up with it.

Don't tell me you've lost it.

How can you lose something weighing ten tonnes?

Well, is something lost if you know where it is?

Don't be daft. Of course not.

Right, then. In that case I haven't lost it.

It's in the lake.

LAUGHTER
