collecting plants what's that a new
hobby or something it's for school
so where are they
i didn't find any i'll have to try again
later
well well
so we collect plants now do we
a dandelion a day keeps teacher away
lots of people collect flowers there's
nothing wrong with that collecting
flowers no
but in a shed
so
[Music]
[Music]
nice
the great arm of the law at work
it's an inspiration to us all in it
gives us
confidence as law-abiding citizens
now you think
you know
keeping law and order and all that
they'll make mince meat are you mate if
they cop you what would your record shut
up
steve
oh steve
bert's looking for that circus horse you
haven't seen him anywhere have you no
[Music]
shed a little tear
a little tear i
shed shut up ron
shut up
yeah that's good girl
shut up a little tear
in a shed
oh no kind of thing if it's not so good
is it
[Music]
what's that down there then
what
[Music]
oh that oh you've used it for years
uh
well i want to look everywhere i suppose
oh that's no good it's much too damp
it's terribly muddy down there isn't it
steve yes it is
hey
well if you see anything colonel perhaps
you'll let me know
and of course
you know at seven o'clock every morning
i clean my boots
listen to the news and polish them
come out past state i might just sort of
save me time
there's a lot to be said for pavements
you know
townsfolk don't know how lucky they are
well there's a fine thing in it
abandoning the trail because he didn't
want to get his big boots mucky oh shut
up rock go and find yourself some work
to do bro governor
shed a little tear
you know that is a bit of an eyesore
gosh i've lived around here for years
i've never noticed how ghastly that
looks
steve wonder what time you might take it
down you can always use it for firewood
yeah okay
[Music]
there we go
she's 15.
for heaven's sake she would have an idea
of right and wrong by now but she has
that's the point she has dog poppycock
she's blinded by sentimentality not the
same thing
damn it all anna i practically lied to
that policeman told him the hut hadn't
been used for years but you didn't know
that wasn't a
lie anyway
what do we do now that's the problem
what do we do now
have you any idea what courage it must
have taken her
to do what she did
what a way to bring up a child do
anything you want as long as you have
the nerve is that it
why doesn't she rob a bank that's not
the point she did it to save moonstone
look i've seen that horse and it's
perfectly healthy always a bit thin
perhaps but nothing to suggest ill
treatment
he's too old maybe but then aren't we
all
ah you women are all the same
you flatter yourselves that you're
compassionate but half the time it's
just thoughtless sentiment
no reason no logic
and you teach your children to be
sentimental too that's the worst of it
you know kelly used to have a good
friend at school
becky something daughter of that farmer
up at withersthorpe you know the one you
told callie was a m*rder*r because he
shoots pheasants you remember i didn't
say he was a m*rder*r i said it was
m*rder to sh**t first he shoots
pheasants by the hundred and kelly
hasn't spoken to her since you said that
then there was prissy tarber the
squire's niece
didn't you say hunting is a barbaric
ritual of cruelty
anyway chrissy and callie came to blows
and half the form won't speak to cali
now they sent her to coventry for a week
too yes but haven't you always said we
must remember the difference between
necessary cruelty like k*lling cows for
meat and unnecessary cruelty like
k*lling foxes for sport
and frightening horses into doing circus
tricks but that's totally i don't think
you realize how much cali hero worships
you
do you know she she's prepared to lose
all her friends just to stand up for the
things you've taught her to believe in
you're going to let her down now
[Music]
[Music]
oh you mean you mean the circus horse ah
well
uh mind your boots sergeant it's like a
bog over here
yeah we lost paul slugger that way see
i was just joking officer you want to
see him do you he's over at the house
i'll hold your bike boy if you like
superintendent oh hang on hang on i'm in
no worry
not used eh
do you want to take your boots off save
them getting dirty
i'll own them for you if you like
your majesty
hello it's you again
yes i uh
this is for you
the can only had 40 in cash but there's
a check for another 60.
it's for moonstone
the colonel's your bosses yeah
seems to me like your boss is trying to
buy his way out of a whole heap of
trouble
do you know where the colonel might be
do i know where the colonel might be
says
no i wouldn't and i wouldn't tell you if
i did oh not too smug you are mate i
think i don't know a cop oil he's onto
something
yeah there's no trouble is there
well lisa
could be a matter of a stolen horse
would you believe
i was treating him badly harry said so
too
he was too old
oh he's a good horse in his time we were
old pals
but
he got too old and will you sell him
you've got another one
we look after him give him a nice home
let him relax and enjoy himself for a
bit
please
purely routine you understand oh what is
it
oh
i see you've been down to the hut yes
sir

i had occasion at 12 25 a.m this morning
p.m
a.m this morning p.m hey
afternoon

to ever look in a shed on your property
and you'll find a horse a horse which
answers to the description
of one removed by a person or person's
unknown
from a visiting um
circus
he's here
well i'm sure there's an easy
explanation sir
just routine
but i have to ask
if you're the owner of your horse
[Music]
yes i am
oh
yes
well his description answers that of
moonstone or maybe
but he's mine
i'm the owner of the horse what's its
name um
