All language subtitles for A Touch of Frost Season 05 Episode 04 - No Other Love 720p WEB-DL HEVC x265 BONE

Here we are.

Oh, if you wouldn't mind, the rugs are a
bit delicate.

Oh, right.

Well, I shall have to train them to wipe
their feet, won't I?

The dogs.

Dogs?

I thought you said this place was
furnished.

It is.

I'd hate to see one of your unfurnished
places.

This is a breakfast table, not a
transport cafe.

What's wrong with you two?

Come on, eat up.

I'm not really hungry.

Are you just going to sit there?

There's a lot of oriental stuff here,
isn't there?

This, for example. Is it genuine, is it?
Well, yeah, most definitely. Mr.

Wilding's a very discerning collector of
objet d 'art from the Far East.

Well, I hope he isn't out there
collapsing any banks.

Hopefully not within the next six
months, which, as you know, is the

the lease.

If you would just like to sign at the
bottom here.

Yes, yes, all right. Well, you know, I'm
still looking.

Mrs. Frost.

Janet Harper.

Delighted you could make it.

Pleased to meet you.

Jack, I am so sorry. The traffic was
just... Oh.

This is wonderful.

Oh, well.

Um, Rosalie.

Shoes.

Shoes.

They're not at home yet, dear.

Where is it?

On the bloody doorstep. Where do you
think it is?

Get your cat off my breakfast.

Go and get that bloody milk in then.

Well, I'll leave you to it. There are
the keys.

I'll pop back and give you the spare
set.

If I could just... Yes, there you go.
We'll find the seal.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Well, it's all yours. Now, if you have
any problems, just give me a call, OK? I

will. Thank you.

If this is the bedroom, where's the bed?

You're branding on it. Hmm?

You're joking.

Oh, dear.

If you give a place havoc on my name,
you know.

Jack, I didn't think that... That's all
right. It's just a joke.

You asked me here because you wanted my
opinion on the flat.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I think perhaps I've been sending out
the wrong signals because you seem to

jumped to the wrong conclusion.

You see, there's someone else.

I think you met him at my barbecue. It's
just... Well, we've been seeing a bit

of each other and... Look, I... I think
perhaps I'd better go.

Rosalie?

Am I going to see you again?

I'll check my diary.

Don't bother.

What do they mean, borrow £5 ,000 or
make your dreams come true?

How can you borrow when you can't pay it
back?

Where would I go and how far would I get
on their naught percent bloody finance?

Really far, and that's a fact.

Oh, please, Harry, for this.

Why would I join a gardening club? I've
got a garden.

What use would a free trial be to me,
then?

Oh, can't you think of anyone but
yourself for once?

One song is all I want to hear.

If they think I'm going to reply in 14
days, they've got another thing coming.

That was our jeans, though.

I thought I was having toast.

You always have to spoil things for me,
don't you?

One song, that's all I wanted to hear,
but oh, no.

Always got to have your own way, haven't
you? Oh, thinner, woman, thinner. I

can't eat them bloody doorsteps of
yours.

No!

Frost, thank you.

All right, come on. What's occurring?

What the hell are you doing here?
Waiting for you, Governor.

Nobody told me you were back. Yeah,
well, I should read your memos. You were

happy by the seaside.

Too many tourists.

Seasonal crime, you know, sort of thing.

Caravans that go bump in the night.

More like the Chief Constable thinks I
need a minder.

Yeah, well... It's not your lucky day,
is it?

How is your uncle, by the way?

An armed robbery in a pawnbroker's.

I mean, what is there worth nicking?
Well, nothing much.

Looks like he only wanted the cash.

Cleaned the till out, apparently.

Oh, right.

I mean, look at this, look.

What do you think that is?

Meat, is it?

Well, it's meat, isn't it?

Oh, you're right, look. Made in Margate.

Good morning, Jack. Good morning,
George.

All right, what have we got?

Well, whoever he was, he didn't force
his way in. No, I'd have heard him if he

had. I see. Was he on his own, Mr...
Lawson?

No, I must have forgotten to lock the
door after I got in. I see.

Well, could you... George, do something
about that lot out there, will you?

We've got half a dent of nick down here.

Well, an armed robbery shuts an armed
robbery... I know all that. Just do it,

will you?

Sorry. Sorry about that, Mr Lawson. Was
it just the cash that he was after?

Yeah.

Right. Could you tell me exactly what he
said?

Nothing. God, I feel so bloody stupid.

I gave him the cash and he didn't even
have to open his mouth.

What did he look like? Well, he was
wearing these black overalls and a

balaclava.

Well, if someone dressed like that
pointed a gun at me and then at the

wouldn't have to be a fully paid -up
member of Mentor to work out what he

wanted, would I? No.

God, I thought he was going to kill me.

Yes.

Look, sorry, Mr. Dawson, please.

You're beginning to make me feel dizzy.

Okay. Just calm down, okay?

Come on.

Let's sit there.

Sit on that.

Sit down. Calm down.

You all right?

Okay. Now then, just take it easy.

Can you tell us what sort of gun it was?

I ate guns. What was that?

Yes. Was it a rifle?

No, a handgun.

Revolver or pistol?

I, uh...

You know, listen, it's all right. What
the sergeant means is, was it the sort

gun that has a chamber, you know, that
you put the bullets in?

No, no chamber.

No chamber, it's all right, all right.

So it's a pistol.

OK.

Listen, can you tell me something, Mr
Lawson?

How much money do you normally put in
the till in the morning?

Well, that's just it.

Not much over 60 quid.

Maybe 65.

Not a lot to get scared to death for, is
it?

No, it isn't, is it?

Could be kids. What, with an automatic?

Oh, dear, I do hope you're wrong.

Have a word with the local shopkeepers.
See if this bloke in the balaclava rings

any bells.

Not the normal thing you see on a bright
summer's day, is it? Yeah, well, he

went out the back. I don't care if he
went up the bloody chimney.

Someone might have their eyes open, so
go on. Excuse me, I don't know... Yes,

what is it?

All right, all right.

Logistics of an infrastructure such as
this is, of course, constantly under

review.

Now, downsizing is regarded as a
difficult option, but certainly one that

ought to consider.

You mean redundancies?

Yes, well, I wouldn't quite put it in
those terms.

Well, if we're talking about job losses,
I don't know of a better term to use.

Yes, well, I wanted you to know what
might be about to happen.

Now, of course, sir, this review doesn't
just involve us officers, no, no.

This should be taken right across the
board.

Typing pool, canteen staff,
auxiliaries... But I will be losing

squad. Now, Jim, let's not be hasty
about this. With respect, sir, if you're

looking to make serious financial cuts
at this station, then two cooks and a

cleaner don't add up to the salary of a
senior detective, do they? Well, that's

what I want to find out.

Which is why I'm seconding Toulon to
work on some figures with me. George,

need it. Just for a couple of days.

Besides, Barnard's back working the D
.I. Frost, so that shouldn't present a

problem.

This could affect a lot of families.

Well, we may just find some natural
wastage.

I killed him.

He's at the hospital, Mrs. Walters.

Sure you don't want me to call a
solicitor for you?

Have you arrested me?

No, no, no. I just want to have a little
chat, really.

I do know what I've done.

Do you know why you did it?

Ronnie Hilton.

Oh, such a charming young man.

Yes, I suppose he was.

Our beloved, do you know it?

A very famous song.

Yeah, well, most couples have a song
they call their own, don't they?

Our tune.

I'm sure Mrs. Walters would appreciate a
nice cup of tea, Constable.

and saying about your song.

Oh, yeah. Well, Harry and me, we never
went in for that sort of thing.

Sentimental nonsense, he called it.

But I always loved that song.

Helped me remember the good times.

It's what music does, isn't it?

Makes you look back.

Sometimes when you don't want to, eh?

Yeah, but... When I was in the hospital
having our gene...

After the birth, they cleaned her up,
you know, and brought her back to me.

And we sat there, the three of us
together.

It was a sunny day.

It was strange.

And there was a radio nearby playing.

Only my love for you.

Only the love we knew.

Now I'll... Do

you remember what happened this morning,
Olive?

I just wouldn't shut up.

It was playing on the radio the first
time I'd heard it in years.

Oh, and I... I just longed to listen to
it.

And he wouldn't let me.

You do understand, don't you?

I've been wanting clean pyjamas.

Tell me, how would you have arrested
that little old lady that we've just

to? She had a knife in her hand very
carefully, sir.

Hey, that is not the... Yes?

We've spoken to all the shopkeepers who
were around at the time of the robbery,

but none of them remember seeing our
suspect. What are you talking about?

Someone dressed in black with a
balaclava, walking around in the

Maybe the sun got in their eyes.
Sergeant Barnard says the suspect went

back way.

Oh, he did, did he?

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi.

Now, I want you to take that dishwater
back and take her a proper cup of tea in

a proper cup.

George, my lip would like oil.

Anything I can do? No.

No, you're all right this time, Jack.

George? Yeah.

Well, thank you.

So, what have you been up to, then?

That's me.

Are you, er... Are you... Are you going
for this, Doop?

Come on, break the habit of a lifetime.

No bloody fear.

You're not supposed to do this, are you?

That's why it's not happening.

Hello again.

Oh, hello.

You haven't come to collect next month's
rent already, have you?

No, I do voluntary work here twice a
week.

Well, it was nice seeing you again. Yes,
indeed.

I hope your father will be okay.

Yes, thank you.

I'm going down to the station. They want
me to make a statement.

I hope you don't tell them anything they
don't need to know.

You bring disgrace on this family, and
by God, you'll regret it.

Who are you taking to the dance, then?

Well, I was going to ask Michelle
Pfeiffer, but, you know.

Yeah, short notice.

Maybe you should think a little closer
to home.

Is that what you're doing?

That would be telling.

Ah, Jack.

You got your tickets yet?

What? For the super's bash?

You could bring your new bird.

Lady friend, sir.

Jack, Mr Lawson's waiting.

WPC Holland, would you kindly escort
Mrs.

Walters to somewhere a little less
crowded and a little more comfortable,

please? Thank you.

Sir.

Come.

Thank you.

Now, Mr. Lawson, can you tell me why a
pawnbroker who sells nothing but...

Well, if you pardon the expression,
junk, would be a target for an armed

Well, he was after the cash, you know
that.

You sure about that?

Look, there's something I didn't mention
earlier.

I thought there might be.

I haven't got a licence for it, right?

I know it's out of order, but...

I do a bit of money lending. You know,
on the side.

Ah, what sort of money are we talking
about?

Don't get me wrong, nothing major.

A couple of grand.

But that's all, I swear.

Do you have many enemies?

Many?

Don't think I've got any.

You know, like someone who you owe money
to.

Or maybe they owe you money and don't
want to pay up.

You know, now you've got this, um...

You're so tired of yours. You think
someone's after me?

Any reason why someone should be?

No.

I don't think so.

Yes.

Hold on, there you are. Let's see if I
can find you here. Mrs.

Walters. I can't seem to find her. What
room did you put her in?

Room, sir?

She's in there.

Were you born cold -blooded?

Or is there some sort of transfusion you
can get on the NHS these days?

Sorry? Mrs. Waters is not Denton's
answer to Lizzie Borden. You do not put

-year -old ladies in prison cells.

Please remember that, WPC Holland.

Don't worry, Inspector. It's written all
over your face. I know what you're

going to say.

Olive, I'm going to have to ask you some
questions about Harry.

You know, what happened this morning.

Harry's dead.

Yes.

You don't seem to be very upset.

Well, I was worried at the hospital.

What, when Harry was still alive?

Yes.

But now it's all over.

Tell me something. You know that story
you told me about the song on the radio?

Was that true?

Yes.

But he wouldn't let me listen to it. He
never did.

When he was in one of his moods, I
couldn't get anything right.

His moods?

How long did these moods last?

Years.

Well, why didn't you leave him?

Where would I have gone?

Well, you could have gone and stayed
with your daughter. What's her name?

You could have stayed with her.

It's her birthday today.

I wanted to take her flowers.

Forty.

That's what she would have been.

When did Jean die, Olive?

1959.

She was two.

Must have been a very difficult time for
you.

And for Harry.

No, not for Harry.

Oh, yes.

I was eating him alive.

And then again, it was his own fault,
wasn't it?

Why?

Why was it his fault?

What happened to Jean, Olive?

She died.

Olive?

How did Jean die?

She had a fever.

One day she seemed to be burning up. I
said, we've got to get the ambulance.

Harry said there was no need.

Dobby, just stop buzzing.

So if she had a cold, she'd be fine.

And then she seemed to get worse. I
said, we've got to call the ambulance.

But he knew best.

And he didn't, did he?

And she died.

He wouldn't let me do anything for her.

Let her go.

And I suppose he blamed you, did he?

Blamed you for everything.

Just because of his own guilt.

And that guilt turned into something
else, didn't it? Something more bitter

cruel and turned towards you.

I tried.

I did try. I did try to make things
better, Mr Frost, but I... I couldn't

way out.

Did you want to kill him?

Oh, yes.

For a long time now.

See, you know why? He'd already killed
me.

I've been dead inside for nearly 40
years.

And when you got up this morning, did
you think, you know,

today's going to be the day?

No.

We did breakfast.

If the radio hadn't been on.

Well, are we going to prison?

Is there anything I can do for you?

Disney's on his own now. He's never been
on his own before.

Disney?

Such a beautiful cat.

I've always had a cat.

Yeah, she's always been a bossy cow.

Rachel? She is, Gran.

She's completely mad.

Shall I tell Gran what she does in
assembly?

If you want to.

She picks the dandruff off her shoulders
and then she eats it.

Dad!

Hello, love.

I thought you'd be going back to the
shop.

No, I've got some paperwork to do.

How is Matt?

Probably still at work.

Well, are you going to do your work or
not?

Well, I'm sorry you're too late. I've
missed it. What?

My favourite programme, play school.

What are you doing carrying that thing
about?

Oh, it's a bloody landlady. She, uh,
waits for me to move in last night.

And she turns round and says, No
television's allowed in the room.

Yeah. Maybe you could pawn it, Peter
Lawton.

Would that be funny?

Oh, I don't know, is it?

No. The man's terrified.

Yeah, well, of course he is. He won't
tell us who's putting the frighteners up

to him, then.

There's nothing we can do about it, is
there? Yeah, but he doesn't know who it

is. Oh, yes, he does.

I know he knows.

And I know he knows I know.

What?

Exactly.

All right.

If Peter Lawson won't give us any clues,
let's go and talk to the family.

Maybe they can tell us who's got the
grudge.

All right, come on. We'll use your car.

Yeah, that might be a bit awkward, only
the car's full.

My stuff.

Well, you see, the room's so small. Oh,
well, why didn't you get a flat like the

rest of us? Well, I would. Find
somewhere half -decent.

I don't suppose... No.

Have you got someone lined up, then?
Share the flat? No.

Well, then.

Hello, George.

What's up? Muller got you on detention,
has he?

Um... I'll go and house with you on all
the bills.

Come on.

Do you know of any reason why your son
Peter should be a target of a vendetta?

I have never been able to reason with my
son, Inspector.

If I had, then maybe he'd have made more
of his life.

Not a pawnbroker yourself, then, sir?

No.

Captain.

Parachute regiment.

Ready for anything.

That's the motto.

Good old paras, eh?

Retired now, I take it? Oh.

16 years.

But I gave them 30 of my best and I
continue to lead the disciplined life

instilled in me.

Without discipline, there is chaos.

And this is what my son has chosen.

Chaos.

Because he has no discipline. No self
-discipline.

Granddad!

Granddad! What's all this then,
sweetheart?

Finish the jigsaw! Oh, well done, you
clever old thing.

Everyone who has outstanding depth is on
that list, Mr Frost.

I'd like to know who's got it in for me.

Yeah, all right.

I'll get them checked.

Is that where you keep your paperwork,
is it?

Your business records?

I take it you do keep business records?

Yes, of course.

I wouldn't mind having a look at your
books, Mr Lawson, you know, just in case

your memory is playing tricks on you.

Tomorrow morning would be a good time.

Do you know what?

Always wanted one of these things
myself.

Never got round to it.

You know, always been too busy.

Must be really nice to have a place like
this.

You know, a little hideaway.

Well, where you can take your mind off
things.

Yes.

Have you got a brother or a sister at
all?

No.

Pressures of being an only child, eh?

Mr. Frost, whoever he is, you will get
him, won't you?

Only, I love my kids and... If you're
sure you've told us everything.

Yeah.

I thought you might like TV, sir.

Oh, no.

I have to look at these again.

I can't afford to downsize the uniform
quota.

How much did Jeff earn?

Well, with respect, sir, not enough to
justify retaining such a high number in

the uniform division.

There is, of course, the option of
saving some money by cutting the cost

incurred by the summer dance.

Rates of hire of the... Out of the
question. That's just a thought.

We could use the canteen here, sir. Yes,
and what would that do for morale?

No, as I say, it's out of the question.

One loss only from plain clothes. That
seems rather disproportionate.

Well, the officer in question, D .S.
Macdonald, has actually put in for early

retirement. He seemed the obvious
choice, sir.

These figures are critically unbalanced,
George.

I suggest you take another look at CID.

I thought we can find at least one other
officer whose loss wouldn't be too

difficult to bear.

Remember, the higher the rank, the
higher the salary.

I suggest you look at those above
Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

George, perhaps we could look at the
entertainment costs, music, et cetera,

the summer dance. Just look into it,
mind.

Yes, sir.

All right, come on. Get him out of the
bed.

Well, we got any witnesses, or is it the
invisible man again?

Well, we can hardly ask the neighbours,
can we?

I mean, there aren't any.

You know what I think? I think this has
got to be dodgy dealing. Yeah.

Maybe if someone had a score to set.

Well, they've certainly done that all
right, haven't they?

What we ought to do is have a look at
that list he gave us and check it

any guns that may be registered in the
area.

Mr. Marlott won't be very happy, will
he, sir? Two murders in one day.

Well, I don't think that Peter Lawton's
very ecstatic about it either.

Morning. It's Becky's.

Thank you.

Mr. Frost, I'd just like to say how
sorry I was to hear that your father had

died at the hospital.

Oh.

Yes. Can I have one of your teeth,
please, sir?

I don't know how much of the small print
you've read, Mr. Frost, but it does

clearly state there is no subletting on
these premises.

Yes, I know.

Yes, I do know.

No, I'm afraid you've got it wrong.

You see, this is Clive.

Would you come here a minute? I'd like
you to... Sorry, what was your name?

Janet. Janet. I'd like you to meet
Janet. She's our landlady.

Janet, this is Clive. Clive is my son.

Oh!

I'm so sorry.

But he called you sir.

Yes, that's because he's been studying
in America.

Picked up some of their habits, that's
all.

Haven't you, son?

Are you sure you're going to be all
right?

I have to do this, Matt.

I can't leave it any longer, you know
that.

I do hate him, you know, now more than
ever.

Promise me.

You won't say anything to the police,
Matt. Promise.

I promise. We won't tell them anything
they don't need to know.

We can't tell them the truth.

No, I know.

I'll tell Gran you're staying over at
her friend's tonight.

Thanks.

He won't call me as soon as...

Well, we haven't got any at home.

Morning,

sir.

Scene

of

the armed robbery.

Scene of a murder.

Yes. Two incidents in one day.

What's the link?

The link.

I would have said it was the victim,
sir, wouldn't you?

If Peter Lawson has been up to no good,
I want to know who else was involved.

And don't you go telling me you haven't
got the manpower to cover it. I'll have

no expense spared in a murder
investigation.

After the armed robbery, weren't you
concerned for his safety?

I expect all my officers to be up to
speed, Inspector.

That includes you.

Morning, George.

We bothered turning up today, mate.

You weren't expected.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, Matt.

He's gonna talk about it.

I mean, if it was my dad... He had it
coming.

the magistrate said. What does it mean?

Condition of residence.

It just means you've got to come down to
the station once a week and...

He

wouldn't let me put them up.

Right. Well, there you are.

Don't look too closely.

There may still be bits of brain stuck
to it.

It looks like it's from an automatic.

Yes, you're right. Well done, Clive.

Yeah, so the gun used to shoot him could
have been the same as the one used in

the robbery.

What do you mean, killing two birds with
one stone?

Possibility. I don't think so.

Well, why not? Well, think about it.

Making 60 quid and blowing someone's
brains out doesn't sound like the same

person to me.

If someone wanted to kill Peter Lawson,
which they obviously did, if that person

was the armed robber, why go to the
palaver of making two jobs out of it

they could have just blown him away
first time round in the shop?

Oh,

Inspector Frost.

Yes. Your wife told me that I might find
you in here, Mr Lawson.

Sorry, is that something I said?

No, I'm simply amused by the... Mr
Lawson.

I'm afraid I still regard my military
title with more than a little affection.

I see.

Well, it seems a shame to get rid of it.

Get rid? No, I'm simply trying to return
some order to the place.

Peter didn't have the structured life of
the army, did he?

His choice.

Tell me, Mr Lawson, your 30 -year
service.

You said that you retired 16 years ago.
Now, if my maths are correct, that would

be 1951 to 1981.

Correct?

So you'd have been too young for the
Second World War and too old for

and as the Paras didn't go into Korea,
that would have meant that you missed

the fun.

Is there a point to all this, Inspector?

Were you a strict father?

My son is dead, Inspector.

I don't see what difference it makes
whether I was strict or not.

No, what I meant was, did you ever hit
him, you know, beat him?

Very well, sometimes.

It's the only way to instil discipline.

And when you did, you know, beat him, he
would listen, wouldn't he?

Because you'd be used to that, people
following your commands.

I'm left with three children to feed,
Inspector.

You honestly think this is what I would
have wanted?

My own son.

How long did Peter share your house?

Five years.

Wasn't he married?

She died.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

How did she die?

Car crash.

Look, what's this got to do with Peter's
death?

He was driving.

Was he drunk?

Unfortunately, yes.

Oh, one more thing.

Matthew and Rachel, would you say they
were close?

As close as any brother and sister.

Did they blame your son for their
mother's death?

You'll have to ask them that.

Right, you've got a boyfriend.

I really couldn't tell you.

Are

you

taking to the dance floor?

I mean, I was wondering if, well, you
know... Yes.

Great. OK.

Terry Wilson, local scrap dealer.

He's on this outstanding debt list that
Peter Lawson gave us.

And it says here that he's the proud
owner of a Browning 9mm automatic.

Bingo.

Mr Wilson?

Who wants to know?

D .S. Barnard, Denton CID.

Mind if I ask you a couple of questions?

If you must.

How well do you know Peter Lawson?

Not very.

Borrowed a bit of cash when the business
went through a rough patch.

You still haven't paid it back.

No.

Won't need to, no.

Mr. Lawson, where do you keep your gun?

I do own a gun.

I have a license that proves I'm
entitled.

I belong to a gun club. I know the
rules.

Where is it?

Thank you.

Matthew about, is he?

In the crane.

Not too upset to come to work, then?

You'll have to ask him.

Tell me something, how well do you know
his sister, Rachel?

Not very.

Not your type?

Nah, too young.

I go for the more mature woman.

Don't know of any going spare, do you?

No.

So, you're not Rachel's boyfriend, then?

Well, I'm a boy, and I'm her friend.

But if you think I've been breaking the
law with an underage girl, you're

barking up the wrong boyfriend's tree.
Oh, yeah?

Whose tree should I be barking up, then?

Try Matthew.

They've always been, um, very close.

Can I help you? No, thank you.

Just one more thing.

Was Matthew at work first thing
yesterday morning?

Yeah. We both were.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Well, honest, he's got a gun, all right?

Browning, 9mm, just what we're looking
for.

The only thing is, it's missing.

Missing? Where from?

Well, from a cupboard in there, would
you believe?

No wonder our villain's going to get all
those guns. All right.

OK, well, we'll nick him.

We'll see if he's got an alibi for last
night. OK, go.

Must have been a tough decision coming
into work today.

Not really.

I bet your boss was surprised to see you
though, wasn't he?

We've all got a living to earn.

Do you know he kept a gun on the
premises?

So?

So?

It's gone missing.

Don't you find that funny?

Your father's been shot and the man that
you're working for has lost his gun.

You think Terry killed my dad? No, I
don't. Do you?

No.

Did your father find out about you and
Rachel?

You know, what you were doing?

It's all right.

Brother and sister can often have
feelings that get out of hand.

You don't know what you're talking
about.

He did find out, though, didn't he, eh?

And I think somehow you and Rachel
managed to kill him.

Oh, no, you've got it all wrong.

Well, where is she, then? Where is
Rachel? I know she's not at home because

checked. Where is she?

She's in Blackpool.

What do you mean she's in Blackpool?
What's she done, run away?

No, when it's over, she's coming back.

What's over?

The abortion! She went to Blackpool to
get an abortion.

Are you sure you don't want to talk it
over with your parents before we go

ahead?

They're dead.

Who looks after you?

My grandparents.

Have you talked it over with them?

They mustn't know about any of this.

It's okay, Rachel.

Everything here is confidential.

No one has to know what you're doing.

As long as you're sure.

I don't want this baby.

Yeah, look at this, eh?

Oh, come on, we haven't got time to mess
about with these things. Still off!

No?

To wear a man in uniform.

Yeah, that'll be mullet.

He's a man in a uniform.

Yeah, well, come on, we'd better find
this bar before Mr Mullet thinks we're

taking a holiday.

It's Mystic Mullet.

Of course, downsizing an infrastructure
is always going to cause concern.

Well, according to these figures, CID
lose two officers.

What about uniform?

It's our primary contact with the
public.

Too much downsizing that department
could jeopardize opposition on the

But if you want to achieve the targets
you've been set with all these

redundant... With all this downsizing,
you still need more cuts.

Yes, well, I've decided not to renew the
catering contract.

Great. So now we all bring silence in
the blast.

If you'll let me finish.

The catering contract will be put out to
tender on a smaller scale.

OK. But even with all this, you're still
going to need more job losses from the

ranks. And if you're not going to touch
uniform, that brings us back to CID.

And if you're looking for a senior
officer, it's your decision, sir.

Have you got a Joanna Lawson here?

Is that with or without ice and lemon?

I take mine neat.

That's it.

Look, I haven't got long.

Well, we'd better get to the point then,
hadn't we?

We've been talking to your brother.

What?

Yeah, well, we've been talking to your
brother about Rachel.

Look, you leave her alone.

Can you tell us, Joanna, how long has it
gone on for?

The abuse.

What are we talking about?

What if I said that Matthew has told us
everything about Rachel?

And what was that?

We know that Rachel's here for an
abortion.

Joanna, we know all about your father.

I don't have to talk to you.

Hey, Joanna!

Joanna!

When did you leave home?

Two years ago.

I should have done it sooner.

Why didn't you?

I was worried about Rachel. I didn't
want her to go through it.

I thought if I was there that I would be
enough for him.

I was obviously wrong.

What happened to make you change your
mind?

We all reached the end of the line at
some stage.

I didn't tell anyone. I did, my gran.

She didn't believe me.

Didn't or wouldn't?

Well, both, I suppose.

I read this huge row.

I've never seen her so angry.

She said I was twisted.

She just wouldn't believe it had done
such a thing.

Said he loved us too much.

Just had a funny way of showing him.

So I left.

I suppose I should have reported him or
something.

But... But if your own gran doesn't
believe you...

He

spoke to Matt.

He said I'd find you with Joanna.

She understands.

Babies never turn out right, do they?

No one is the same, Lud.

They told me... that it was a girl.

Rachel, I know it's difficult.

But I've got to talk to you.

I've got to ask you a few questions
about your father.

Can't he wait?

He's dead. He's not going to run away
now.

I'd like you to come back to Denton with
me in the morning.

You're what Gran used to say.

Everything will be all right in the
morning.

Only it won't, will it?

You can't keep running away from the
truth.

The world just isn't big enough.

Well, we haven't really learned
anything, have we?

I don't know.

We found another Lawson kid who added in
for her father.

Yeah, but it's not what you'd call a
motive, though, is it?

After what happened to those two girls,
if anything, I think Peter Lawson

deserved to die.

What's the words of that song?

Something like... Things you can't hide
when you're crippled inside.

That's what's happened to Rachel and
Joanna.

Probably for the rest of their lives.

Well, there's one thing we can be
grateful for.

He didn't get at Suzanne.

So you think one of those kids did kill
him?

Yes, I do.

But which one?

Well, you better get the medical
examiner to check her over. Make sure

right. And I want you to go over to the
house and pick up the good captain.

What for? Well, if I'm going to
interview her, I need an appropriate

don't I?

Well, can't we get a female social
worker?

Yeah, let the grandad do it.

Rachel will feel more relaxed with him
about.

Well, go on then. Come on. Chop, chop.

This is difficult for you.

But you would agree that you had good
reason for wanting your father dead.

I suppose.

Did you kill your father?

No.

Do you know who did?

No.

Inspector, I have to ask if this is
necessary.

Can't you see the child is still upset
by her father's death?

Rachel, how many people knew where you
were last night?

Matthew.

And Joe.

No, we all knew you were over at your
friend's, sweetheart.

No, Mr Lawson.

Rachel wasn't at her friend's. She was
in Blackpool with her sister.

So what were you doing there?

You didn't know what it was all about.

I don't know what you're talking about,
Rachel.

I killed the baby.

Rachel was pregnant.

She went to Blackpool to have an
abortion.

Your son's baby.

Isn't that right, Rachel?

I killed it.

You should have told me.

What about this Terry Wilson character?

No, he's got an alibi as tight as a
duck's eye. So, you're saying it could

member of the Lawson family?

Well, what about the girl?

Rachel? No, I don't think she could be
that calculating.

Not after what she's been through.

Mind you, she might know who did it.

And the brother?

Matthew, yes. Well, I've got to have
words with him.

Well, you'd better get round there
quick. If you've released the girl, you

want her warning him off. No, on the
contrary.

I want Rachel to go home so that Matthew
can see what sort of state she's in

after the abortion.

They might decide to give it up.

I'll see him then. Chances are he might
feel like talking.

Confess.

You take too many of them, Jack.

Your toothbrush.

My toothbrush.

Your toothbrush.

My toothbrush.

Your toothbrush.

Nice, sir.

Towels? Um, hand, bath.

Good. Even Captain Lawson couldn't have
organised it better. So, does this mean

I can stay for a while?

Yes, I suppose you'll have to. I'll
never find anything without you.

Now all we've got to do is decide who
makes dinner.

Tonight. Tonight?

Yeah, but it's forgotten tonight.

I mean, you haven't forgotten?

No. I'm not going anyway.

Oh, come on. Don't be such an old loser.
Hey, not so much as the old.

Hey, is that your George Cross? Yes, it
is.

But don't you lust after it. That's for
heroes only.

Anyway, I haven't got anyone to go with.

Well, why don't you ask Janet?

Janet?

Who's Janet?

Our landlady.

Seems really nice.

She's probably married.

Yeah, but you don't know because you
asked here.

Go on, give her a call.

She might even know the ring.

Huh? In your dreams.

Go on, give her a call.

Yes, yes, all right, I'll think about
it.

Yeah, well, what's wrong with giving her
a call now?

Because now I want to go and take
another look at Peter Lawson's shop.

Of course. Just in case we miss
something.

What, you mean something to link the
robbery with the murder? Yeah, well,

not getting very far on the no -link
theory, are we?

Yeah? So come on, look, just... Leave
all this. Come on, let's go.

Have you got the key?

Yeah.

I wonder.

What?

Well, if Olive were in her kitchen, she
could have seen anybody who came in and

out of the back of this place.

Yeah, well, wouldn't she have mentioned
it? What, in her estate?

No, leave it out.

Olive!

Come on. Hey, wake up.

Sir, what did the doctor say?

Died of natural causes.

Whatever that means.

I think she died of a broken heart.

Shouldn't let it get to you, sir.

Did you say something?

Well, it's not really possible to die of
a broken heart, sir, is it?

Hmm?

Not if you're a murderer, and that's
what she was.

So what you're saying is that Olive
Walters wasn't affected by what

I'm saying that if anyone deserves our
sympathy, it's her husband, not her.

So we shouldn't feel any compassion for
a woman who killed her husband and then

kills herself in the process. Is that
what you're saying?

We're not supposed to get involved, sir.

There's lots of things that we're not
supposed to do.

But we do them.

That's because we're human beings.

And here we are dealing with a human
condition.

You can't just not have feelings.

Because life is not like that.

Or are you so naive?

I just wouldn't let it get to me, that's
all.

Gov?

Can I have a word?

Don't tell me you've got me on your hit
list.

Hi. What the hell is going on?

I mean, you can't keep these sort of
things quiet for long.

I'm already hearing whispers.

I don't know, George.

Mullet's had this bloody decree from on
high, and that's an end to it. He wants

me to put Jack's name on the list,
doesn't he? Well, you know Mullet,

He's not going to let an opportunity
like this slip by.

Not if he can point the finger at
someone else. Yeah, it's me.

Sorry to trouble you, Mrs Lawson, but
we'd like to have a word with Matthew.

He's not here.

Oh, do you know what time he'll be home?

I don't know.

He seems to have disappeared.

All right, all right. Well, don't you
worry, we'll find him.

We'll find him, don't worry.

I want someone down here to keep an eye
on this place.

We'll also get someone to go to the
scrapyard. I want to know the minute

turns up, I'll give him disappeared.

You wearing that shirt?

No. Yeah, what's wrong with it?

Nothing.

Well, I do.

Lovely. Oh, thank you.

Right, shall we get a move on?

We don't want to be late, do we, Dad?

So, when he got there, he looked in the
coffin where his brother was lying, and

his brother was dressed in the colours
of the Glasgow Rangers football team.

And when he saw that, he said, oh, no,
that's not what he meant by being buried

in the Gaza Strip.

Yes, I should have told you, of course,
that he'd come from Israel for the

funeral.

Not much of a football fan, honestly.

Well, have a very, very good time,
everybody, and enjoy yourselves.

You know where the Gaza Strip is, do
you, John? Oh, yeah.

Well, not quite what I had in mind for
the music, but well done.

Thank you, sir.

As you were saying, let me get this
straight.

The woman that I met at the flat who I
thought was your wife isn't your wife.

No. And the man at the hospital who
died... Harry.

Harry, who I thought was your father
isn't your father. Right.

And Clive, who I think is your son, is
really... Son.

Police. There's a policeman.

Is that how you managed to get the
invitation?

Well, no, not exactly.

You see, there is something that I've
forgotten to mention.

Well, I'm...

Let me guess.

A policeman.

No, I'm a brain surgeon. This is my
night off.

So did you think I'd turn you down
because you're a policeman?

Has been known.

I think your sergeant wants a word with
you.

Excuse me.

Matthew Lawson's been spotted at the
yard.

You've got to go.

Now you know why some women are put off.

Will you be back?

I don't know.

I'll wait.

All right.

Thanks.

Well, well, well, well, well. What do we
have here?

I know someone shot him, but it wasn't
me.

No?

My bet is that you went into your
father's shed and you murdered him with

Wilson's gun.

No. Yes.

You shot him, Matthew, then you slipped
into the house and waited for us to come

and tell you the tragic news. No, you're
not listening.

That's because you're not giving me
anything to listen to. No, no, it wasn't

It does not constitute an alibi.

And I know that you hated your father.

That doesn't mean I killed him.

No? Well, I think you did. With what?

Am I missing something here?

Or are you forgetting that we've got the
gun?

I've sent it to forensic.

And they'll prove that your fingerprints
are all over it.

Including the trigger.

Makes no difference. I never fired it.

All right, thank you.

So, you want me to put him in a cell for
the night?

No, let me sweat it out there for a bit.

Oh, look.

Secret, is it?

Sorry, no, um...

Forensic.

You're right about his prints being all
over it.

But according to this report, that
pistol hasn't been fired for some time.

What?

It's not the gun that killed Peter
Lawson.

But it doesn't mean it isn't the one
that was used to threaten him, does it?

Do you enjoy threatening people?

I don't know what you mean. That's what
you needed the gun for, wasn't it?

So you could frighten the living
daylights out of your father for the

quid.

Your father didn't forget to lock the
door behind him, did he?

You simply used your own key to get in.

Balaclava was a good idea.

That way he wouldn't recognise you.

I didn't harm anyone. I just had to have
the money.

What was it for, Rachel?

There was no point in asking him. He
would have wanted to know what it was

She needed the train fare.

Joanna paid for the clinic.

Would he have objected to the abortion?

You would have wanted to know who the
father was.

Well, he was the father, wasn't he?

And who was?

Thank you.

Who's that bunk for?

Suzanne.

I was going back to get her tonight.

Everything's ready.

I can take care of them both now.

It's all over, Rach.

I've told him the truth.

He'll kill us.

No, you're safe now, Rachel.

Your father wasn't responsible for any
of this, was he?

He was responsible for doing nothing
about it.

What I mean is he didn't lay a finger on
you, did he?

Or Joanna?

No.

And he didn't abuse you?

No.

And he didn't make you pregnant?

He didn't stop him turning a blind eye,
though, did he?

But he did know all along, didn't he?

Then why did you let me go on believing
it was him all the time?

He's dead.

It didn't matter.

If I'd have told you the truth, we'd all
be dead.

Why didn't your father tell me himself,
then?

I don't blame him.

He's as scared as us.

But please...

Don't make us go back there, please.

We've got to get Suzanne out of there
before it's too late.

Sleep tight, sweetheart.

How could I have got it so wrong?

You want me to come with you?

No, I'd rather you stayed here.

Send them round the back.

Garth? Yes?

What is it?

He's not dangerous, Clive.

He's just sick.

Yeah.

Good evening.

Always take the enemy by surprise, eh?

Always be in control of the situation.

That's your idea of being in control, is
it? I was ready for you, wasn't I?

Expecting you.

Look, I've even dressed for the
occasion. What do you think?

I think you're a very sick man, Mr
Lawson.

Is that the gun you used to kill your
son?

What?

That's right.

And do you know why I did it?

You thought he was a failure.

And you also knew that he was going to
tell me about the sexual abuse his

daughters suffered at your hands.

Lies.

All lies.

Charlie?

I love those girls.

If you didn't believe that what you did
was wrong, why did you stop your son

Peter from telling me about it?

You do realise that I outrank you,
Inspector.

Look, I'm not here to play your army
games.

I make the rules.

And I'm going to arrest you for the
murder of your son.

No.

It's all a lie.

Step closer.

And say that again.

You think you're a big man.

But big men don't terrorise their own
families.

I've met men like you before, you know.

Murderers and rapists.

And they've all got the same things in
common.

They're obsessed with power and the fact
that they haven't got any.

That's why they hurt people who can't
fight back.

Take yourself, for example.

You joined the army and you only ever
got to play the captain.

At the harmless dress rehearsals.

But now you're out of the army.

And you're on your own.

And you're nothing.

And you can't take that, can you?

Is that what you think?

Well, I'm in control here.

And I say, you... Step a little closer.

I tried to warn him off, but I... I
couldn't be sure.

So you seized the opportunity.

You knew he'd been threatened with a gun
earlier that morning, sir.

When he said he was going to go to the
shed to play with his trains, it was too

good to pass up.

You could make it look like the same
person had come back. He was going to

my girls away.

I couldn't let that happen.

Love them?

Your granddaughter's just aborted your
child.

She shouldn't have done that.

Not my child.

What happened to you in the army?

Did they laugh at you behind your back,
did they?

Didn't they used to say, there goes old
Lawson, he's only got one kid, maybe

he's only got one ball. Is that what
they used to say?

Peter wasn't enough for you, was he?

That's why you abused him.

He didn't deserve four children!

Surrender my firearm?

I don't think so, Inspector.

Captain Lawson, your gun, sir.

A trusty friend, Inspector.

Never fails me.

Put it down.

A man doesn't have to be brave to pull
the trigger.

Mr. Frost.

But he must be brave enough to face the
consequences.

And then we make another man.

Jim Jones.

What's this?

It's the outcome of our downsizing.

No, Jack's not on the list.

I, um... I just, uh... Well, I wanted to
say,

Jack, that...

Beware

a man in uniform.

Wasn't you after all.

my resignation.

Jack, it's final.

Boy, it was meant for me.

If you deserve this, then you will not
have it.
