Don't worry, I'll see to him.

Hello.

Mrs Tomkins.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm actually on maternity leave.

Have you spoken to my stand-in?

Yes. Nurse Hollis.

OK, good night.

Problem?

Oh, Mrs Tomkins.She's going down with a cold

and wants me to hotfoot itround there. Is he OK?

He's fine.

Just letting us know he's awake.

And damp!

Better change him then.And it's time for a feed, isn't it?

I'll just go and wash these.

So, how is your replacementworking out?

Jan Hollis?

She's fine.But she's only temporary,

and it would helpif she lived in Aidensfield.

Don't you miss the work, Maggie?

No.

I've got a full-time job here, Mike.

I don't thinkI'll be going back to work.

Bye. Drive carefully.

- JACKIE: Thanks. Bye.- Bye!

After all those yearsshe's put into nursing,

I just can't believeshe can switch off like that.

I think she's overdoing itbeing an overprotective mum.

Well, we'll see.

It's early days yet.

So, what's it going to be,your place or mine?

GINA: The plates are hot.

RINGS DOORBELLKNOCKS ON DOOR

Claude, thanks for coming.

Pleasure, love. What...

Ugh.

Have you called the police?

Yes. Just look at the mess.

It's worse through here.

It's the same in every room.

How could people doanything so rotten?

Don't worry, love.We'll sort it out.

There you go.

What was it you wanted again, Oscar?

Ten minutes ago, Gina, I askedif you could freshen up my teapot.

Sorry. Slipped me mind.I'll sort it out.

Thanks but don't bother.The moment has passed.

Mrs Tomkins, it's me, Nurse Hollis.

Sorry I couldn't answer the door.

You don't look at all well.

Much worse this morning,to tell the truth.

I felt it coming on last night.

You need a doctor, Mrs Tomkins.

Can I use your phone?

Aye, help yourself.

His first day hereand he's causing trouble.

What do you expect?

Letting Oscar Blaketon move inat the top floor of the pub?

How could I stop him?He does own the place.

Looks likewe're stuck with him, then.

I can live with his moods as longas he doesn't keep interfering.

MICHAEL: How longhas the house been empty?

Only since Grandad died.

We live in Whitby, but Claudewas keeping an eye on it for us.

It's only me and Fred,we're old mates.

How often did you look inside?

All the time really.

It were perfectly all right,yesterday.

Have you been in touchwith anyone about the house

estate agents, people like that?

No. There is one thing.

Just a minute.

Diabolical. What they'venot took, they've smashed up.

This was pushed into the letter boxa few days ago.

Has anyone beento see you about this?

No.

Don't worry about this, Michael.

These come up all the timewhen the house becomes empty.

I've done it myself.

We'll need a full listof the stolen items, Mrs Charlton.

I'll try. There wasn't much to take.

Except his coin collection.But that wasn't worth a lot.

I don't know.

Them Coronation ones,they were a good set.

Well, thank you, Mrs Charlton.Claude...

- CLAUDE: See you, Ellen.- Bye.

Claude,do you know these neighbours?

Of course, I do.

Before you ask, none of themwould stoop

to do somethingas diabolical as that.

Maybe, but I thinkI still should have a chat.

It's not a chat we want, it's doing.

It's about time your lotstarted to earn their keep.

Can you move your bike?

Go on, son.

One neighbor heard breaking glass,

another...

maybea van driving off in the night.

Very nasty, that break-in, Bradley.

Yes, Sarge.

Sort of like robbing a grave.

Kind of crimethat puts the public's back up,

and creates a demandfor prompt police action.

It's top of our list, Sarge.

Keep it there.

Are you a masochist, Ventress?

What?

That cigarette buttmust be burning your hand.

Sorry, Sarge.

So...

What have we got?

It looks like this is our best bet.

I'm off, Gladys.

- Got your shopping lists?- Yes.

Sam's been fed and changed,so he should sleep for a while.

If he does wake...

Don't worry. I know what to do.

Right.

Bye.

Jan, hello! I was hoping to see you.Mrs Tomkins rang me.

I've just had to admit herto hospital.

She said it was a cold coming on.

She's picked up a nasty flu bug.She's very ill, Maggie.

Delivered by hand.

Perfect opportunityto check the house.

PHIL: Okay, that's great.

If they did turn it over,

why did they leavetheir telephone number?

It's an agency number in Whitby.They handle calls for clients.

Any details?

- Client's name is Mr C Fuller.- No address.

Convenient.

It gets better. Mr Fuller rings infor his messages

and pays by cash in the post.

- But they've never met him?- PHIL: Not once.

Whitby...

Whitby...

Everyone who's come this morning,very upset about Fred's house.

They're probably flogging offhis stuff as we speak

Let's hopethe police do something about it.

This is one case they can't fileand forget. I'll make sure of that.

Here.

Four other break-ins?

All from homesof the recently deceased.

Targeting houses that show upin death and funeral announcements.

Has to be. It's the same pattern.

The same method of entryused at Mr Wallace's house.

Telephone message agency.

But if Fuller is behindthese break-ins, why use it?

How do you mean?

If he leaves this,we contact the agency.

Next time he calls in, they call us.Surely, he must know that.

PHIL: He's running a real business,using it as cover.

No, it leaves him too exposed.

Greengrass knows these characters.I'll have a word with him.

- Oscar.- How are you doing, Mike?

How's the move working out?

Well, satisfactory, I think. So far.

Gina and Mary are spoiling yourotten, are they?

Well, let's just say they mean well.

Gina.Got a service over here, please.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mike.

I'm on duty, looking for Claude.You haven't seen him?

No, I haven't.

And as for you,

I don't need remindinghow to do my job.

I'm just trying to be helpful, Gina.

She's not used to having a manabout the place, yet.

Claude, there you are.

Do you remember this?

What about it?

It was left by a blokecalled Fuller, Mr C Fuller.

Do you know him?

Fuller... No, no. I'm sure I don't.

We're investigating five break-ins.

Five?

Yeah. Including your friend,Fred Wallace's house.

We think it's a g*ng operating outof Whitby who's responsible for it.

You think that this bloke,what's his name, Fuller,

has got something to do with it?

We've reason to believehe's involved, yeah.

So, do you know him?

I've already told you, Michael.

Claude! Is that a yes or a no?

ENGINE STARTS

- Jan, come in.- Thanks.

I've just come from the hospital.

Is it about Mrs Tomkins?

Yes. She had a strain of Asian flu.

She passed away an hour ago, Maggie.

You don't want to be wastingyour money backing horses, Derek.

Claude.

You want to buy me a drink with it.

I try not to get involved,

but it's hard not to feel a failurewhen you lose a patient.

I seemed to take things personallythe longer I stayed at it.

That's why I like to move around.Helps to keep it all in balance.

Oh, not me.

I preferred to stay put.

You keep talking in past tense,Maggie.

I've made my mind up.

I'm not going back to work.

Can you kick the nursing habitthat easily?

You bet. I've got a child thatneeds me and a chance to move on.

To do what?

Make a life that puts us firstfor a change.

I know that most of itis finding its way to Whitby,

and I also know that you havea better idea than most as to where.

Mmm. You see, I only help peopleI really know, Claude.

You'll be helping me, Derek,as I have helped you, Derek.

I don't touch anything myselfand I thought you didn't, either?

I just want to invest, all right?

I've got a load of clientswho are ready and waiting.

Just as longas you know where I stand.

Of course. Here's a listof some of the stuff I want.

And I want it yesterday.

Coronation coins?

Yeah. With those specific dates on.

And you can tell whoever,that this is only the beginning.

Another flu case?

That's right. We've had four here.

Another four showedin Ashfordly General.

The same bugthat k*lled Mrs Tomkins?

Yes.

We've set upan emergency treatment center

here in the village halljust in case.

It's becoming an epidemic, isn't it?

We're telling everyone,especially the old,

and parents like youwith very young children.

Greengrass wouldn't haveanything to do with housebreaking.

He recognised the name Fuller, Alf.I'm convinced of it.

But you, yourself,said that he was livid

with whoever brokeinto Wallace's house.

From the telephone messages agency.

Names and addressesthey passed on to Fuller.

Any houses that got broken into?

No.

It doesn't mean he's in the clear.

You said he could've been operatingunder the cover of a real business.

And responding to messages.

Visiting people on this list.

Maybe we should do the same.

I suggested this meetingfor one reason.

I thought it would bea good opportunity

for the three of us to sit down,have a chat, and clear the air.

I wish he'd clear off.

Gina, this pub now belongs to methat's a fact you can't ignore.

And it happens to be my business.I pay you rent to run this pub.

But I'm trying to help.

I'm studying the best waysto use our energies,

best ways to use our time

Get on with it.I've got a pie in the oven.

All of us want this placeto be a success

and it will be if the peoplewho come here keep coming back.

They come back all the time.

Not the guest whose breakfast failsto arrive on time.

or the drinkerswho are left twiddling their thumbs

while the bar staff gossip.

Right. That's it! I'm off.

Mary, there's no need to get upset.

Self-criticism is good for the soul.

In Russia, maybe.

And the sooner you push off there,the better.

Great. Now look what you've done.

DOOR SLAMS SHUT

Women.

- Mrs Parker?- Yes.

The doctors are having to usethe village hall now.

Still, you'll be all right.

BERNIE: How do you mean?

It's an ill wind that blows a bit ofbusiness in the right direction.

Undertakers aren't supposed to brag.It can look unseemly.

Really? Look after my drinkwhen you've bought it.

What's he up to now?

"Customer research",one of his victim said.

I've had it with him.

That makes two of us.

- Is that what you had in mind?- That's exactly what I had in mind.

Here. Have you got any more of it?

We did have more.We got rid of it yesterday.

What else is there, Mr...

Mr Kendal.

My business name, if you like.

You're not from round here, are you?

No. Buddy and I are enjoyingthe business opportunities.

I think I like the sound of that.

KENDAL LAUGHS

I like what I've heard about you.Local, knows what's what.

You're just the kind of retailerMr Kendal's looking for, Claude.

What chance is there of inspectingthe gubbins on behalf of my clients?

Only our special customersget that privilege.

What makes them special?

Having lots of hard disposable cash.

I think you'll findI'm very special.

Oh, cup of tea?

Yes, please, Alf.

Another cuppa.

A Mrs Parker.Her name's on our list.

Fuller cleared her house.

Same with the ones I spoke to.He paid in cash.

Not the Parkers, for legal reasonsthey had to be paid by cheque.

Fuller gave her a cheque?

No, one signed by his wife.

I went to their bankand I know where they live.

Let's pick him up.

But Alf, what about my cup of tea?

What about it?

No., Alf.

- Upstairs?- Yup.

MICHAEL: Nineteen.

Yeah.

Mr Fuller?

Yes.

Mr C Fuller?

That's right, yes.

We're investigatinga number of break-ins.

We'd like you to accompany usdown to the station.

Any progress?

No. Nothing solid to tie him inwith the break-ins.

Alibi witnesses?

We're working on it, Sarge.

Any chance of a bit of service?

Mr Greengrass. Always a pleasure.

Not this time, it won't be.

I hear you've arrested Cyril Fuller.

News travels fast.

You said you didn't know a C Fuller.

Well, I know enoughto know you've got the wrong man.

We're not so sure as you.

Really?

Who do you think nicked that?The Invisible Man?

Belonged to Fred Wallace. It wastaken when his house was burgled.

Yeah? Can you prove that?

I got it for him.

See that ink stain that happenedwhen a Biro broke in my pocket.

Sarge, following up Fuller's dealingin cash,

there's a good reason for it.

It turns outthat he's an undischarged bankrupt.

Yeah, it still doesn't put himin the clear, though.

Fuller did show upat all the raided houses.

CLAUDE: Not to do any burgling.

All right, Cyril has a bit of cashthat he can't admit to,

but he wouldn't do owt like that.

I'm telling you. You've gotthe wrong man, Mr Craddock.

- JAN: Maggie.- Oh, hello.

You know Dr Halliday from Ashfordly.

Yes, we've met before.

I was sorry to hear you'd left us.

I'm sure you're in good handswith Jan.

Good luck.

Bye-bye.

And the name of the individualyou bought it from?

Kendal.But that's not his real name.

And he's not from round here,either.

And you arranged to meet himthrough a friend?

You don't have to know who.

And you did this to get justicefor the late Mr Wallace?

Yeah! And to stop youfrom arresting an innocent man.

Oh, yes, your friend Mr Fuller.

You have so many friends,Mr Greengrass.

Yeah, I've got friendsI haven't even used yet,

but I'm telling youCyril had nowt to do with it.

A moonlighting bankrupt.

Earning money and not declaring itis an offence.

He's just trying to earn a livinglike the rest of us self-employed.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because he's a mate.

I didn't want to land him in it.

You may be telling the truth,

however the chancesof finding Mr Kendal

in possessionof the stolen property?

Are nil. He'd smell you lotcoming a mile off.

RAYMOND: Exactly.

Which is where you come in...Mr Greengrass.

Bearing in mindhow flexible we could be

in the case of your friend,Mr Fuller.

I've been thinking.

Oh, no, please!

Here we go again!

I've got an idea that can make

even this part of the jobeasier for all of us.

Sounds great. Is it aboutwhat you were saying earlier?

It's a simple timeand motion problem, Gina.

Something I've had a lotof experience of in my career.

We're not a police station, Oscar.

It's achieving the most,for the least effort.

It shouldn't be difficultto put into practice.

It's no good telling us, Oscar.

What we need is for youto demonstrate by example.

What... me?

Yeah, take us through the day,Show us where we're going wrong.

We're willing to learn,aren't we, Mary?

Well, since you put it like that,

how can I refuse?

Thank you, Mary.

It'll take some time to arrange

I shall have to liaisewith my colleagues in Whitby.

PCs Bradley and Bellamywill tell you when to move.

- What about Cyril?- You'll fine him in there.

Who's our lucky boy.You don't half owe me large scotch.

Hi, Claude. You're a life saver,you are.

Next time you gonna doa bit of house clearing,

don't gather names and addressesof people who died out of the paper.

How did I know they were gonna pinchmy Dodge to rob houses.

You didn't have to leave your caron the doormat.

No wonder they nicked you.

I'm clear to go now, am I?

Yeah, Thanks to me.

They know who's done it.It's not you.

What about the money I madethen clearing those houses out?

What about all the cash deals I didthat I didn't declare?

Are they gonna get me for that?

Being a bankrupt, they could,but thanks to me once again.

I don't think you got owtto bother about.

How am I ever gonna pay you back,Claude?

I think I'm gonna allow youto save and get me paralytic.

- Come on!- Right.

Hi, we're not too early, are we?

No. I'm all dressed up and nowhereto go. Gladys hasn't shown up yet.

Come on in.

Let me take your coats.

And Mike, would you pour some wine?

- Sure.- Thanks.

Come and sit down, Jackie.

Are you helping outat the Emergency Medical Center?

No, I'm still on maternity leave.

The doctors seem to have it in hand.

How bad can this flu get?

If it spreads very bad.

KNOCK AT DOOR

That'll be Gladys. I'll just get hersettled in and we can make a move.

I'm so sorry, Maggie.

Really sorry.But I had to help out a neighbor.

Came down with that flueveryone's going on about.

It's very contagious,you know, Gladys.

Don't worry, I kept my distance.

Now, off you go. Leave me to it.

MAN: The usuals?

Fine by me. I'd almost forgottenwhat a night out feels like.

If you think we're gonna let youtake root in that cottage...

- Maggie.- What is it?

Mr Simpson's collapsed.

Collapsed?

Flu?

Yes, I think so.

I know he's got heart problems too.

Call an ambulance.Tell them it's urgent.

OK.

Mind if we give dinner a miss?

Maggie, please stay.

It's just with this flu spreadingI'm a bit worried that Sam...

MICHAEL: What? Are you sure?

I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Maggie, it's all right.

We'll arrange it for another night.

OK, thanks.

- Good night.- Night!

WINDOW PANE BREAKS

Here we are.

Ten minutes since we ordered, Oscar.

I know, I'm sorry.The egg yolks broke.

Mine never do.

Ugh! Cold, Oscar.

Don't tell me you did the toastbefore you cooked breakfast!

- Yes. Well, I did, as it happens.- Oscar!

One of the guests needs serviceand here you are, gossiping with us.

Right. I'll be with you in a minute.

BABY CRIES

Sam?

BABY SQUEALS

What's wrong, hmm?

Excuse me. Excuse me, please.Thank you. Excuse me.

We'll have you better in no time.

Excuse me. He's ill, Jan.

Come straight through.

COUGHING

BABY CRIES

Mrs Bolton's son.

I never noticed.

I've no idea how long he's had it.

Now, it's going to be all right.

SOOTHING All right.

There we go.Let me have him, Mrs Bolton.

BABY CRIES LOUDLY

You wait here.

- Jan.- We've everything he needs for now.

PHONE RINGS

Ashfordly Police.

Where?

And your name, sir?

Are you still in the house?I'll get somebody to meet you.

Another break-in.

- Where?- Aidensfield.

Reported by the nephewof the owner. Well, late owner.

- Flu victim who died few days ago.- Mrs Tomkins? That was quick.

It was in the papers yesterday.

Look, We've got to getafter this bloke, Alf.

What's the problem?

It's a big sum of money that's to bedrawn out. You need authorization.

Especially, as it's gonna behanded over to Claude Greengrass.

BABY CRYING

He's fine.

What about the infection?

I've sent throat and mucus swabsto the labs,

but it's not the viruscausing our problems here.

How do you know?

Sam's running onlya slight temperature, Mrs Bolton

What do you think it is, then?

In my view, it's a mild chill.

I'm so sorry.

No. If you'll excuse meI have patients needing treatment.

I'm sorry, Jan.

Don't be. I'd have felt the same.

Come in. Yes, Ventress?

Sorry to bother you, Sarge.We need an answer on the money.

- What money?- Claude Greengrass's money.

Yes, I was afraidyou were gonna say that.

Is there a problem with Division?

No, quite the opposite.

I don't follow you, Sarge.

Division have approvedthe release of police funds

to a reliable sourcefor the operation described.

What's holding us up, then?

I have to sign a form describingGreengrass as a reliable source.

Ah. Yes, I see.

An awesome responsibility.

Well, we know where he lives.

I hardly think he's goingto disappear down to Brazil.

Yes. He's not exactlythe boy from Ipanema, is he?

Then there's the amount £.Sounds a lot to me.

Yes, it is rather a large sum.

I don't suppose Mr Greengrass stands

to benefit personallyfrom this arrangement?

We are putting himin a dangerous position.

I take it that's a yes, Ventress.

I wouldn't like to say, Sarge.

Division must not hear about this.Understand?

Mum's the word. Thank you, Sarge.

Ventress...

don't make me regret this.

I can't believeI over-reacted like that.

Don't worry about it, Maggie.Anyone would react the same.

Especially with a first child.

Yes.

Anyway,are you still coming round tonight?

I'll be there on the dot.

JAN: Who's the next lady, Thelma?

Phil.

They cleaned up inside.

Neighbors sawa red van parked in the area

Fits with the vanGreengrass saw Kendal use.

MAN ON RADIO:'Delta-alpha-two-four.'

'Delta-alpha-two-four.'

Delta-alpha-two-four receiving.

Mike, I had a very interesting chatwith our esteemed sergeant.

What? About Greengrass?

Mainly.

He seems to be under the impressionthat Claude isn't entirely reliable.

Yeah, we know that, Alf.But what did he say?

I've talked him into it.You've got the go-ahead.

We've got the money.

Good to see himdoing summat useful for a change.

Pity, it's gotta be in here.

I'll pretend I never heard that,Greengrass.

That's a shame.You were supposed to.

Oscar's shown us how to runa perfect bar. It's great!

AMBULANCE BELL Ey up another flu victim.

I ought to start sellingmy secret remedy.

Buckthorn syrupI've been taking it for years.

Kills every ailmentknown to man... dead.

Buckthorn syrup? What's that?

It's for worming dogs.

CLAUDE: Summat elseI've not ever dropped.

Flu is all in the mind,

if you don't want it,you don't get it.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Jan.

Sorry. I had a feelingit was coming on.

Come on in and sit down.

Doctor Halliday...he's expecting me.

- Let him know, will you, Maggie?- No, let's take care of you first.

Can you arrange itfor tomorrow night?

They'll expect readies, you know.

Hundred quid, like you said.

Do you thinkyou could you make it £?

'Cause otherwise they might thinkit's come straight from the bank.

Have you got a fiver?

One of us should be in the pub,undercover.

Undercover? You could go underground

and they'd still smellyou're a copper.

Claude, you're going to needall the help you can get.

Leave it to me.

Just make sure you're aroundwhen I leave the pub with Kendal.

Here we go.

Right.

Thanks for calling, Maggie.

Oh, it's nothing.

But you're kinda stuck now,aren't you?

We'll manage. It'll be all right.

Bye, Jan.

Hope you haven't made any plansfor tonight?

Why?

We're having a night out in Whitby.

- What for?- To do our bit for Fred Wallace.

Have you got a moment?

I can always make one.

With Jan ill,you'll need a replacement.

That's right.

I'll take it on if you like.

I heard you'd packed in nursing.

It's not official. At this pointI'm still on maternity leave.

You want to cover for Jan?

I'm a trained nurse and needed here.

Excuse me, Doctor. Who's this for?

Bed five.

I can't argue with that.

You know it's long hours,and you have a young child.

That's my problem.

It's also my choicewhether or not to return to work.

And as far as I'm concerned,

my maternity leave finishedthe moment I came in here.

OSCAR COUGHS

Is the bar closed, or what?

Worse than catching flu, this!

We've got two peopledown with flu from our office,

both from Aidensfield.

The way people go on,you'd think it's the black death.

At first, no one came becausef the flu. Now look at him

GLASS SHATTERS

Oh, no!

How many residents affected?

Right. St Swithin's old folks home,two pensioners down.

Keep them comfortableuntil we get there.

Isolated if possible.

DOG BARKSIN THE DISTANCE

Thank you very much.

I think the barmaid fancies me.

Yeah, lovely girl.

Very good to her husband, you know.She left him.

You're just jealous of my abilityto attract the females.

With respect, Bernie,

you haven't got the abilityto attract flies.

Keep your mind on the job in hand.

Remember, make sure that Bradleyand Bellamy don't lose sight of me.

'Ey up, here they are.

Come on, Alfred. Hiya, lads.

- Mr Greengrass?- In person.

- You got your invitation?- What? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Will that be enough?

I'd say that buys you a front seat.Let's go.

Uh-uh. Not that way. This way.

Out the back?

- No objections, have you?- Oh, no, I'm in your hands.

That's right.

I hope Greengrass has got it right.

Mr Greengrass.

What in there?

Just humor me.

No! They've taken him outthrough the back.

Oh, great!

It's them! It's them!

Just think of it as a tripto Aladdin's cave, Mr Greengrass.

By way of the Black Holeof Calcutta, by the look of it.

Alfred!

BARKS

Come here! I've got to get Alfred.

Business first.

Yeah, but he won't know where he is.He'll get lost.

Shh. This way.

Hundred quid, you told Derek.

What? Oh, yeah.

It's all there.

Take your pick, Claude.

BARKS

They've got to be here somewhere.

Mike, it's Alfred.

BARKS

Delta-alpha-two-five to control.

'Control receiving.'

We gonna need some assistanceat Whitby docks, Alf.

Hello! It's me!

I'm in here.

Sorry it's late, Gladys.

Not to worry.How are things down there?

Hard work but getting there.

Not a peep out of him upstairs.

I'll make tea while you have a look.

I'll look in on himafter I've had a bath, I think.

Police! You're under arrest.

Oi!

MICHAEL: Get him.

Got him?

MICHAEL: Claude.

It's about time you two got here.

Let's have a lookat that temperature.

It's not so bad.

Jan! What are you doing here?

I'm not going back to work, not yet.

Do you feel OK?

I'm getting there.Thanks for standing in for me.

I'm not sure I did it just for you.

That sounds deep.

I needed a push.

Sam needs me, but not a selfish,overprotective mum.

I couldn't cope like that.I'm going back to work.

I knew your great planswould end in tears!

HACKING COUGH Oh, dear, oh, dear!

Why don't you go and make that noisesomewhere else, Greengrass?

Lancashireshould be about far enough.

Don't start on me, Blaketon.

It's not my faultI'm in the same ward as you.

The feeling's mutual, believe me.
