0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Will you be home for lunch?- No.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26What are they up to? Just staring.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Probably waiting for the parlour to open.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31I was up at six and they were there then.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34No-one's that eager to arrange a funeral.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Maybe they're interested in buying that house.- Mm.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Anyway...

0:00:40 > 0:00:42I'll see you later.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Mr Quintus?

0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Mr Peter Quintus? - That's right.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Of course, I already knew that.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- It's all in your file.- File.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Sorry? You're not from the inland revenue, are you?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Because my accounts are all up to date.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13No, we're not parasites.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mr R and my colleague here is Mr G.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Mr R and Mr G.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Well, that's not names. It's letters.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24What exactly do you want?

0:01:24 > 0:01:27To discuss a matter of grave importance.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30May we come in?

0:01:31 > 0:01:32I suppose you better.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Please come through.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58- MR G CHUCKLES - Stop it. You'll set me off.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02What's so funny? Why's he laughing?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05He's never been able to take death seriously.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07It's quite ironic, really.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Apologies.- Apologies.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Now, let me explain.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17We're employees of a very large, criminal organisation...

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Criminal?- Criminal. Are you deaf?

0:02:19 > 0:02:23..and we have been entrusted to carry out a very delicate task.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25You have 24 hours to live...

0:02:27 > 0:02:28..and then we shall kill you.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Forgot me keys.- Not again!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Could have sworn I put them in my back pocket.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Surely you check before leaving the house?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05No. Only thing I check's my hair.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08You want to get yourself one of these.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10- What, a giant purse? - So much more.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Ten individual compartments.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Everything has it's place.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Sorry, I think I've just died of boredom.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Be careful what you wish for.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Morning, Sebastian.- Morning.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Oh!

0:03:31 > 0:03:34How wonderfully theatrical.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Take the rest of the day off, boys.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Are you the private investigator?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Alas, I am merely the humble servant of such.- He makes the tea.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45I must say, I do love the dramatic entrance.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48I couldn't risk being followed.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Oh, come on up.- It needs to be a secret that I'm here.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- WHISPERS:- Right, follow me.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I know times are hard, but taking a job from a corpse.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Could be the final nail in the coffin.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Right, I'm going to need to start by taking some details.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Peter Quintus, funeral director.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Here we are.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Oh, good man. I'm gasping.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Gah! Tastes like air-freshener.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- It's Earl Grey. Lu and I prefer it.- Thank you.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Oh, there's too many changes around here.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Look, there isn't time for tea.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I've only got 24 hours to live.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41How'd you mean exactly?

0:04:41 > 0:04:46I... I had a couple of visitors this morning.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Is this some sort of prank?

0:04:50 > 0:04:51No.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57We will return at ten o'clock tomorrow.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59If you were serious, you'd do it now.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- We're not barbarians. - Not barbarians!

0:05:02 > 0:05:07The criminal network we work for is made up of bankers, tycoons,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09people of high status.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11And it is their policy to limit the

0:05:11 > 0:05:13distress of those close to the target.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14You.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18The time remaining is for you to say goodbye to your family

0:05:18 > 0:05:19and to sort out your finances.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22I'll go to the police.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26As I said, the organisation is vast.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29If you try and run or contact the police,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33they will not only execute you, but also your loved ones.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37You've got a son in Edinburgh and a daughter in Kilkenny. Correct?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40How do you know that?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42It's all in your file.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Who hired you?- Confidential.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Why do they want me dead?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, that's a matter for our employers.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52We don't have the specific details.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Apparently it's something to do with your past.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59So, let me get this straight,

0:05:59 > 0:06:01you don't actually want us to protect you?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04No, no, I just... I want all this to stop.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Mm, it's a tricky one.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10You have to help me. There's no-one else.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Er...

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- ..I will pay you £10,000 cash up front...- Up front? Accepted.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21So who hates you enough to want you dead?

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well, that's just it.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25I've always considered myself to be a good person.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I've had my moments, admittedly, but nothing that bad.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I need you to make a list of anyone you can think of.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35And just... And think about things you might've done in the past.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Firstly, we need to try and find out who hired

0:06:38 > 0:06:42the suits and try and expose them. They might relent.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Call off the hit. - What, you think so?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, it's worth a try, yeah.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I tell you what, I'll tail you this morning,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52see if the Chuckle Brothers try to make contact again.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57And I...will stake out your house, just see who turns up.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01OK, but please, please hurry.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04That's 23 hours to live.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Anne!

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Anne!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Where's your hubby?

0:07:24 > 0:07:25He's gone out.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- What do you want, Brenda? - Well, what's mine!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- That's all been sorted. - No, it hasn't.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34He owes me big time.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Please.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42I'm so sorry.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's not you...

0:07:46 > 0:07:48..it's him.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Bingo!

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Just a reminder, we're never far away.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Watching.- Watching.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Lu, Lu, confirmed sighting.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's a black... Oh!

0:08:40 > 0:08:42I think it's a Wolseley,

0:08:42 > 0:08:44heading towards...

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Turner Street.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'll ask him. Just get after them.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- They were here.- Yeah, Lu's going to follow them.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Listen, she mentioned a redhead.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Kind of brassy with big... - Brenda? It's my ex-wife.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01She claims she hates my guts, but she'd take me back tomorrow.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Are you sure about that? - Absolutely.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ooh, got you!

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Come on, Robyn,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14we can do this.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Whoa, whoa! No, no, no, no, no!

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Yes, get out of the way.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Left? Right?

0:09:34 > 0:09:36SHE SIGHS

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- BOTH:- Peter.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02What did we say about going to the police?

0:10:04 > 0:10:05I haven't.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08I got the impression that we were being followed.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09You were warned.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Warned!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13What have you done?

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Your children are safe.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Safe.

0:10:19 > 0:10:20For now.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26My-my-my wife? Where is she?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's hard to find a body in a sea of corpses.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- You got the number plate?- No.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50- No, cos a car got in the way. - Oh, marvellous!

0:10:50 > 0:10:52You know, if you didn't drive

0:10:52 > 0:10:54that stupid little red hairdryer, you wouldn't have lost them.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57If you hadn't lost your licence, maybe you could...

0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Now, now, children. Map of the crossroads you wanted.- Oh, great.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Crossroads? - Yes, where I lost the Wolseley.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06It's four, eight, 12... 12 villages. Four in each direction.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09It doesn't mean our friendly hit men will be staying there.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- They might have just been passing through.- On their way to where?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14There is nothing round any of these villages, just farmland.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Huh. What, you going to search them all?

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Yes.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I might get lucky,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- might just find the car, just parked up.- I'll jot them down for you.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Thank you.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Please, will you stop giving me this scented muck!

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Anne!

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Anne. - SHE WHIMPERS

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Oh, I thought you were dead.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Look, look!- Who is it?

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Some past victim.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01They said if you get help again then my death will be for real.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Oh, my God. - Peter, what have you done?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I don't know.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07You need to think.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09What do you think I've been doing?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm sorry, but I can't dismiss the private investigators.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15They're my only hope.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18But if they find out...

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'm just going to have to be a lot more secretive.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Are you going to carry on tailing Peter?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Well, we can't just wait for them to turn up.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33We should be out there talking to suspects and associates.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35PHONE RINGS

0:12:35 > 0:12:39Shakespeare and Hathaway Private Investigators. How may I...?

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Yes.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well, I can tell him now.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Adieu.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Peter Quintus.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51He wants to meet you in the toilets at The Hanging Man pub.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52The toilets?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Apparently he's got something to show you.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56I better get going.

0:12:58 > 0:13:0020 hours to go.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh! We need more boots on the ground.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05While I go and speak to the neighbourhood warden,

0:13:05 > 0:13:07you better go and speak to Brenda.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Oh, and casually ask if she's hired a couple of hit men?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13She claims Peter owes her money.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15I know. Wear something smart.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Your best suit. - Well, I'll wear my second best.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Numero uno's a violet number

0:13:19 > 0:13:22with a lovely gold edging. It's hardly appropriate.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Whatever suits.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37I could think of better places to meet.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39We need to be extra careful.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- In here.- What?

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Is this really necessary?- Quiet. Now move back.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48- I can't! The flush is stuck up me... - Shush!- It's wedged between me...

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Stop wriggling.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Ooh! Sorry.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Keep still.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57False alarm. Er, but we better stay here, just to be sure.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01- It's cosy, isn't it?- The men in suits threatened my wife.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03They tied her up.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05They left this.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Looks like they mean business.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Have you still no idea who might have hire them?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Like I say, people generally like me.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Oh, come on!

0:14:13 > 0:14:16An ex-business partner, or a rival maybe?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm just an ordinary, average bloke.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Who deals in death.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25The sign...Everton. Were they Scousers?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Not from their accents.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Do you mind if I keep this?- No.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Excuse me.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Hi. I wonder if you could help me.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54I'm at your disposal, madam.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Oh, great!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Cos I'm thinking of buying a house

0:14:58 > 0:15:01and I was just wondering, is it a nice area?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's not an area, but a neighbourhood.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- There is a difference.- Oh.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I see there's a house for sale on Elsinore Drive.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Yeah, it looks lovely.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Although I'm not too keen on living so close to a funeral parlour.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18It's the living you should be afraid of, not the dead.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Yeah, I suppose.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Although you're right to be wary.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Take my knowledgeable advice and avoid that street.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Oh, why?

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Bad things happen there...

0:15:29 > 0:15:31..and have for a long time.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33How'd you mean exactly?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36To give any actual details would betray

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- the confidence of the community I serve.- Yeah, no, I was just,

0:15:39 > 0:15:42I was wondering what you meant, that was all.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Forgive me, madam,

0:15:43 > 0:15:46I've got some very pressing business.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49There's been a dog fouling epidemic on Beaumont Row.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I bid you good day.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Good day.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Good afternoon. How are you on this delightful day?

0:16:00 > 0:16:03I'm hungover and it's going to rain later.

0:16:03 > 0:16:08Might I enquire if you think you may have been mis-sold PPI?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Not interested. - Well, what about an injury at work?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I don't work. Bye. - We also do personal claims.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Does anybody owe you money? Or might you like to sue anyone?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Actually...

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Thank you.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31I have been having problems with my ex.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- He's a snivelling, little toad. - He sounds charming.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38And I should have got more money in my divorce settlement.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Why do you say that?

0:16:40 > 0:16:45Well, recently I went on this date with a financial advisor...

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- And? - He was really hot.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Anyway, he said that the business, this funeral parlour,

0:16:51 > 0:16:53is worth twice what Peter said.

0:16:53 > 0:16:58Right. Well, there you seem to have some anger towards your ex.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Yeah, too right.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Why would you say that was? Just the money?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Or were there other problems?

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Oh!

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Well, that's rather personal.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12Sorry, not my intention to...

0:17:12 > 0:17:15No, well, you know, don't apologise...

0:17:16 > 0:17:21..because, um, well, there's nothing wrong with...with getting personal.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24That's nice.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Er, thank you.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Suits you.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Do you want me to take it off for you?- No, I like it on.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34- That's fine.- Let me. - No, no, honestly...

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Little tease!

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Did they hurt the wife?

0:17:49 > 0:17:50No, just scared her.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Hopefully she'll be able to tell us something.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55No sign of the Wolseley.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59And I think this must be Pete's back garden.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Good. We can't risk being spotted.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Oh, it's bolted.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Oooh!

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Shush.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It was a push, not a pull.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Another one.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Lu.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Mrs Quintus?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Peter.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06How's Anne?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08She's...

0:19:08 > 0:19:11She's got a bad cut on the back of her head, but she'll be fine.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Good. Was she able to tell you anything?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16She's still a bit drowsy.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Apparently someone hit her from behind.- The men in suits?

0:19:19 > 0:19:20She didn't get a good look,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23but, yes, she...she thinks so.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26So does that mean they want you both dead now?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I don't know.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Look, now that Anne's been targeted twice,

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- shouldn't we start telling the police?- No! No, no.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37If they're arrested then their associates will murder my family.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yeah, better keep schtum.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Frank? What are you doing here?

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Er, just...just visiting me Auntie Mabel.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Yeah, we're in a bit of a rush.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Oh, hello again.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Have you come to see Anne? - No.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Well, sort of.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Oh, how did you know she'd been injured?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06I saw the ambulance in the street.

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Are you a friend of hers?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09No. Well, not exactly.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11No, I thought not.

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Sorry, I beg your pardon?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Well, it's just friends don't normally lurk around

0:20:14 > 0:20:17outside friend's houses, peeking in, do they?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Nothing could be further from the truth!

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Do you, er, know his surname?

0:20:27 > 0:20:28Pipkin.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Saw it on his badge.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I'll find out if he's got any previous.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Something odd about him.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Kind of...obsessive.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Like somebody else I know.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44How did it go with Peter's ex?

0:20:44 > 0:20:47The delightful Brenda's a complete nympho.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Did she reveal anything?- In that dressing gown it was hard not to.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Did you manage to find anything out?

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Only that she's hell-bent on squeezing every penny out of Peter.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Then why would she want him dead? - Exactly.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Can't get blood out of a stone.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Or a corpse for that matter.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Gawd! We're running out of time.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04What are you looking for?

0:21:04 > 0:21:06That list of the villages on the crossroads.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07I'm sure I left it here,

0:21:07 > 0:21:10but it's obviously got lost under all Frank's rubbish.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Er, he threw out some papers earlier.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13No!

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Alwood, Heald, Bardham,

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Riddleforth, Uckford, Osric.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Derren Brown would be proud.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yeah.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Yeah.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Huh!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Why I'm doing you a favour I don't know.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38You were obviously holding something back at the hospital.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40I told you, I was visiting Auntie Mabel.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Flaming haemorrhoids.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Aw, my heart bleeds for you.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46No, not me - Mabel.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47Terrible.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50So you don't know anything about the attack on Anne Quintus?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Scouts honour.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54If I had anything concrete I'd tell you.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yeah.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00I also know what an evasive pain in the backside you are.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Mm, I thought you loved me?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yeah, about as much as haemorrhoids.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Look, this background check is completely unrelated.

0:22:07 > 0:22:08It's a different case.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10PHONE RINGS

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Sergeant?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17OK. Thanks.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Melvin Pipkin has no previous convictions.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Excuse me? Hi.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36Do you know if anyone round here owns a Wolseley?

0:22:36 > 0:22:37Wolseley?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's a car.

0:22:39 > 0:22:40Car? No?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Hello, Peter. It's Lu.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54Can you tell me, do any of these villages mean anything to you?

0:22:54 > 0:22:58So we have Alwood, Bardham, Heald,

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Riddleforth, Uckford...

0:23:00 > 0:23:01No?

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Osric?

0:23:03 > 0:23:04No?

0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Yes, yes, I know, time's ticking.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Bye.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Ah, well! Thought I'd find you here.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- The usual, Brenda?- Thank you.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Did Anne give you my message?

0:23:33 > 0:23:34About the money.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Are you listening?

0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Anne's in hospital.- Hospital?

0:23:41 > 0:23:44And I've been given a death sentence.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46What the hell are you on about, Peter?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's not long left now.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Do you know, you've finally cracked.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56I always said you weren't right in the head.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Don't have a go.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03And why shouldn't I? Because you have wrecked everything.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08We weren't right together, you and me.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13- But I did love you, though. - Don't.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Not that it matters any more.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18Nothing does.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24I'm in trouble, Bren.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'm in real trouble.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Is this another one of your lies? - No!

0:24:32 > 0:24:34So, please...

0:24:38 > 0:24:40..be nice to me.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Just this once.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46Please.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49Please.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56No, I've really got no idea who attacked me.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Do you know a neighbourhood warden called Melvin?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Only to say hello to.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06Well, it's just, er, I think he's a bit fixated with you.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Oh, he's like that with all the women on the street.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11So you've never felt threatened by him?

0:25:11 > 0:25:15No, no, he's just a funny little man with a funny accent.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Accent?

0:25:17 > 0:25:18From Liverpool.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Of course, Liverpudlian.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22So?

0:25:22 > 0:25:23Well, Everton's in Liverpool.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25The sign on the photo.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27PHONE RINGS

0:25:31 > 0:25:33What?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'll...I'll be right there.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Sorry.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49- What's happened? - I was hoping you could tell me.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52You asked me to do a background check on some warden

0:25:52 > 0:25:54called Melvin Pipkin and the next thing he's dead.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56What? How?

0:25:56 > 0:25:57Hit and run.

0:25:57 > 0:25:58What's going on, Frank?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Look, I did you a favour because I was sure that in due course

0:26:03 > 0:26:05you would tell me what's going on.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- I know. - So, come on, then, tell me.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Either of you.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Frank and I have got history, but as for you,

0:26:13 > 0:26:16if you're withholding information don't think for one minute

0:26:16 > 0:26:18- that I won't arrest you. - All right, keep your hair on.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20There's no need to take that tone.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Tell that to the stiff lying in the road.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24All right, I'll tell you everything.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28After ten o'clock tomorrow.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Frank! - Please. Please, just trust me.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK. You better.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Or no more favours.

0:26:35 > 0:26:36I'll be waiting.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42GENTLE SNORING

0:26:50 > 0:26:51Wake up.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- What?- I said wake up!

0:26:58 > 0:27:00What the...?

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Oh, don't worry! Nothing happened cos you were too drunk.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04Thank God.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Of course it didn't. I would never cheat on Anne.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09This is all your doing!

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Hurry up and get out.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Get out! - Seven o'clock...- Just go, Peter.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18- That's three hours left. - Can you go?

0:27:18 > 0:27:20They are going to kill me!

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Get out!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Get out!

0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Has Peter been here?- No.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Oh! We've been looking for him half the night.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Frank's still searching. - I know, he texted me.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Can you try Peter's mobile? - Already have. He's not answering.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Just try it again.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Sorry.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52It's just if we can't even find him,

0:27:52 > 0:27:54what chance have we got of finding them?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Did that list of the villages turn up?- No.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58I thought you memorised them.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00I didn't have a chance to look at the ones on the back.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Wouldn't be able to go there now anyway.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06PHONE RINGS

0:28:16 > 0:28:17Hello.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Hello. May I speak to Peter Quintus?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24He's not here at the moment, but if you're one of his friends,

0:28:24 > 0:28:27tell him that I'm going to throw his phone and his jacket in the dustbin.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29OK. Do you know where he is?

0:28:29 > 0:28:31- No.- Right.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Hang on,

0:28:34 > 0:28:36I recognise that voice.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38I think you're mistaken.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Are you that posh boy that did a runner?

0:28:42 > 0:28:43No, that wasn't me.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48You're so naughty!

0:28:48 > 0:28:51That sexy, creamy voice.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54Oh, I'd recognise that anywhere.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Do you know, that sends shivers right down my spine.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Anyway...

0:28:58 > 0:29:02Um, listen, if you're nervous about a face-to-face,

0:29:02 > 0:29:05we could always just have some fun on the phone.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08- It's Brenda.- So where's Peter?

0:29:08 > 0:29:10She doesn't know, but she's got his phone.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Any news?- Nothing.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17Just been to the hospital again. Anne's not there any more.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Well, do you think she's done a runner with him?- No.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Peter's too scared they'd hurt his family.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Final couple of hours - you two should be watching him like a hawk.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27BOTH: We know!

0:29:27 > 0:29:29I'm going to go back to his house, just in case he turns up.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32I was sure that warden was behind it, and he goes and dies on me.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34How terribly thoughtless of him.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27I've never been a great believer.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32But I always tried to be a good man.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39If you can hear me, Lord...

0:30:41 > 0:30:42..please help me.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46I'm begging you!

0:30:46 > 0:30:47Please help me.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09- This is pointless! - Temper, temper.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18Oh, I know you missed breakfast, but this is a new low.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Oh!

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- What's this? - That's Lu's list of places.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Everton?- Not the one near Liverpool, obviously.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28But there's no village called that round here.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30That one's not a village, just a college.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34Named after the theatre director. Sir Jasper Everton?

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Never heard of him.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38It's quite new. Used to be an old mill.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43I need some wheels.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Well, Lu's searching for Peter. - So call me a cab.- Oo-oh!

0:31:51 > 0:31:55Yeah, yeah. Don't go anywhere, mate.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Thanks for your time. I'll be in touch.- Thanks. Bye.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17- KNOCK AT DOOR - Oh!

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you there.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22I'm, er, I'm Lu,

0:32:22 > 0:32:23Frank Hathaway's partner.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Sorry, I'm still a bit jumpy from the break-in.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31First time back from hospital.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Yes, I saw the police leaving.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36They were asking me questions about a hit and run.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38What, what are you doing here?

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Um, well, Peter's gone off the radar.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44- You don't think he's....- No.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47No, we've still got another hour, haven't we?

0:32:47 > 0:32:49But we do need to find him, so...

0:32:49 > 0:32:51I don't know where he is.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Could we check the funeral parlour?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Yeah, sure.- Great.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55"Is this the promised end?"

0:33:55 > 0:33:56"Or image of that horror?"

0:33:59 > 0:34:00Is it time?

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Almost.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03Oh, please,

0:34:03 > 0:34:07you don't have to do this. You could just forget about it. Please.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09- We don't forget.- Or forgive.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'll pay you.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12Name your price.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14There's no going back.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20At least tell me why.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22What have I done?!

0:34:22 > 0:34:24You honestly have no idea?

0:34:24 > 0:34:25No.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27Then there's truly no hope for you.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Are you ready?

0:34:32 > 0:34:34BELL TOLLS

0:34:34 > 0:34:35How will you do it?

0:34:35 > 0:34:38I won't get drawn into the messy details.

0:34:38 > 0:34:39Messy.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46But at the stroke of ten, the end will come.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51No! No! No!

0:34:53 > 0:34:54No.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56No.

0:34:56 > 0:34:57No!

0:34:57 > 0:34:59NO!

0:35:01 > 0:35:03No, no!

0:35:06 > 0:35:08NO!

0:35:09 > 0:35:11No.

0:35:15 > 0:35:16No!

0:35:28 > 0:35:30No.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55- They're coming!- Peter?

0:35:55 > 0:35:56Give me some water.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Are you all right? - They poisoned me.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:36:02 > 0:36:04No, no, no!

0:36:04 > 0:36:06They're here, they're here!

0:36:14 > 0:36:16Peter...

0:36:18 > 0:36:21Peter, it's me, Frank.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26- I'm still alive?- Yes.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29The poison?

0:36:29 > 0:36:31You had a panic attack and fainted.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Mr R and Mr G?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Yeah, it was...it was me knocking.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44There's something you need to know about those two.

0:36:52 > 0:36:57Now raise your arms and sway like trees in the wind.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Excellent, guys.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Over to you, Graham.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07Thanks, Rog.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12Now become the wind.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Everton Arts College? - They work there.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Mr R's a drama professor and Mr G's a lecturer.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32That doesn't make any sense.

0:37:32 > 0:37:33The letter you dropped,

0:37:33 > 0:37:35that was addressed to the college.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Do you know them?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Have you been studying there? - Studying?

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Please, don't get angry.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44And there was a suitcase in your kitchen.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Is that why you came back from the hospital, so you could pack?

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Yes.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52What the hell is going on?

0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Answer me!- Calm down.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Are you behind all this?

0:37:59 > 0:38:01How could you?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Whoa, that's enough of that, fella! - Back off.

0:38:05 > 0:38:06Back off.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11You're right.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15It was my idea.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16Everything.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20I'm leaving you

0:38:20 > 0:38:22for Mr R.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Roger.- What?

0:38:25 > 0:38:29But before going, I wanted you to experience just for one day...

0:38:31 > 0:38:32..just a fraction of the fear

0:38:32 > 0:38:35that I've had to feel for the last two years.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41Some days I thought the punches and the kicks would never stop.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44I thought I was going to die.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Was it you that put her in hospital?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58I texted you to meet me at The Hanging Man.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01I meant to reply. What did you want?

0:39:01 > 0:39:04I just needed you with me

0:39:04 > 0:39:06for support. Is that too much to ask?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Of course not.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Sorry, sorry. I was busy.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Busy! Do you know what I'm going through?

0:39:14 > 0:39:15I'm running out of time!

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Don't walk away from me!

0:39:18 > 0:39:20You get back here!

0:39:23 > 0:39:25SHE SCREAMS

0:39:25 > 0:39:26That's it!

0:39:26 > 0:39:28He's always been violent.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Just ask Brenda.

0:39:32 > 0:39:33What kind of man are you?

0:39:34 > 0:39:38I honestly think that I would be dead now

0:39:38 > 0:39:40if it wasn't for that lovely warden.

0:39:42 > 0:39:43Melvin?

0:39:45 > 0:39:47Last year he came to my aid in the garden

0:39:47 > 0:39:49when Peter attacked me.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52He's been looking out for me ever since.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Not any more.- That's right.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Hang on,

0:39:59 > 0:40:01how did you know he was dead?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Did you kill him?

0:40:06 > 0:40:07I want a word with you.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10Not you again.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12I saw the ambulance.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13Did you hurt her?

0:40:13 > 0:40:15You mind your own business.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17As a servant of this community, it IS my business.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20You get that away from me.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23I haven't finished yet.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25You listen to me...

0:40:27 > 0:40:30You stay where you are.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33I told you last time I'd call the police.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35HORN HONKS

0:40:49 > 0:40:51You're looking at a long sentence for this.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Not without proof.

0:40:57 > 0:40:58Now get out.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02Get out, all of you!

0:41:10 > 0:41:13So whose idea was it to tie you up?

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Mine.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17I was trying to get Peter to fire you.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20You should go to the police about the abuse.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21I will.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24I'm sorry if I led you on a wild goose chase.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Ah, with ten grand from Peter, don't apologise.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45I can't help feeling like Peter's getting off lightly, though.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Two years max.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Where you going?

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well, you never know...

0:41:56 > 0:41:59Nah. No dents, no blood, nothing.

0:42:16 > 0:42:17Oh!

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Melvin's badge.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Looks like we've just found our proof.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29Should have locked him up years ago!

0:42:29 > 0:42:31She belongs to me.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33She's my wife!

0:42:34 > 0:42:36I love you, Anne.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38I never meant to hurt you.

0:42:38 > 0:42:39Yes, you did.

0:42:40 > 0:42:41Now rot in hell.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Now are you ready to tell me everything?

0:42:56 > 0:42:57Here we are.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Earl Grey for you, Lu.- Thanks.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Bog-standard for you, Frank. - Thank you.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Funny case this, isn't it?

0:43:05 > 0:43:09I mean, the good man turned out to be bad, not good,

0:43:09 > 0:43:12and the bad men turned out to be good and not bad.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14You know, bad not good, good not bad.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16You know, see what I mean?

0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Aw, words aren't your strong point, are they?- No.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20There must be a better way of putting all that.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Allow me.- Oh, here we go.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25The bard has a phrase for everything.

0:43:25 > 0:43:26Ahem!

0:43:26 > 0:43:29"O, what may man within him hide,

0:43:29 > 0:43:32"Though angel on the outward side!"

0:43:32 > 0:43:33Marvellous.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Thank you.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37I was talking about the tea.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Philistine!
