Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory?

What are we waiting for?

I've got a bit of muck in me, eh?

Eh? Can't you see that copper?

Right.

You should have slept on.

I'm fine.

No, you're not.

You were tossing and turning all night. Oh, don't fuss.

I thought that's what you liked about me, the way I fuss over you. Well, it

certainly makes a change, that's for sure.

Look, I know you just can't forget about him, but I thought we'd agreed once

you'd left there'd be no looking back.

Well, it's easy enough to say that, isn't it?

We haven't exactly rushed into this, you know.

I couldn't have done without you this past year.

Come here.

It's the kids that I'm worried about.

They've grown up.

the citizens of Ashfordly to have faith in you lot when you can't even protect

your own police station? Have either of you been outside this morning?

I've only been to headquarters an hour. I've come back and the notice board is

covered with fly posters.

We were waiting for you to come back, Sarge, to find out if there was any

Ah, well.

I have to tell you that the reorganisation plans have been shelled.

Police Station will not be closing down.

Which means, Ventress, that you will not be taking early retirement.

Oh. You're both still serving police officers, though sometimes that's hard

tell. Which brings me back to that debacle outside.

I didn't see anybody fly -posting, Sarge.

Oh, well, it must have been the invisible man, then, that took it upon

to advertise some wrestling match.

Did I say something interesting, Ventress?

No, Sarge.

I mean, yes, but... I was fond of the grapple game, Sarge.

Ooh.

An aficionado, are we, Ventress?

Well, um... Mrs Ventress and I share an interest, yes.

Well, you can take some more interest and scrape that lot off the notice board

outside.

Now!

What do you mean, no charges?

I don't want trouble.

Well, you've already got trouble.

Is Tony Phillips known to you?

Philip.

Finally showed a face, have we?

Oh, go on, Tony, you're drunk.

There's something wrong with you, Mum, do you know that? Tony, please, it's

between me and your dad.

I've tried, I promise, I've really tried.

Yeah, looks like it.

Oh. Hang on, Tony. Like I said, don't press charges, please.

I could have you up on two counts at the moment.

Drunken disorderly and malicious damage.

You step out of line again, you'll be in court, all right?

And can you get her for the damage she's done?

All I broke was a window.

Thanks, Claude.

That's for getting all them forces up there.

Here's a quid short.

And what about the rent for the barn? I've already laid that out.

Here. That squares it for the posters. You won't have to wait for the rest till

I get the ticket money.

So delight.

So is that right, then?

Is what right, then?

That no -one's ever got his mask off?

No. Well, many have tried, lass.

And many will try again.

Nobody beats the marble.

I can't wait to see him.

It's all a con if you ask me.

Well, I'll put your name down then, shall I?

We're looking for challenges.

If I were a bit younger, I'd take him on.

So, do you promote anything else, Mr Starr?

Ah, his bank account.

Well, the Marvel's my main man these days.

I sing a bit, you know.

Very nice.

I'm going to need another favour, Lord.

Hey, well, favours tend to cost money.

Well, one of the lads is going to need a bed for a few nights.

Well, get me another scotch and come in the office.

Chiquita.

Two years I've been working here and never a crossword with anyone. And now

at them.

They'll get used to the idea. They'll come round.

It's like I got the plague.

Can I have your attention a minute, everybody?

Tonight is a very special occasion. Oh, for heaven's sake. It's the start of our

life together.

It means Sylvia.

And I'd like to celebrate.

So tonight's going to be a free bar.

Well, come on, everybody.

I want you to drink our health.

It's fine.

With my loneliness I don't care what they say I won't stay

in a world without love Brought him round nice and early, Claude, so he can

settled in.

Come on, Marv.

Hang on a minute.

What? Come on. I mean, I can't put him in a B &B, can I? I know, but you said

he'd be one of the lads.

Well, that's what he is.

I know, but...

Frightening my dog to death.

Now, shut up. Get inside.

Tony, please. I just want to talk it over.

I don't know if you should have talked before.

I just walked out like that. She's gone. You blessed her. It's not all my fault,

you know. You just want to shut up with someone else.

Here's one for you, Nick.

Yeah, I'm a bit busy, Al.

It's two o 'clock in the morning and you see Greengrass coming out of Lord

Ashfordly's forest.

He's carrying a set of antlers.

This exam is ages away.

That's the offence.

If any.

Poked him.

Well, you have to be precise, Nick. No, ma 'am.

Um, deer act 1963.

It's an offence to take or willfully kill certain deer during the closed

Well, but it's only antlers.

Well, the term deer includes part of a deer and antlers are part of a deer, so

if Greengrass hasn't got written permission, then I'd have him.

You mean you'd exercise your power of arrest under Section 5 of the Act?

You've got to say that in a test, not I'd have him.

Well, thanks, Alf, I'll bear that in mind.

Right.

Now, you see Greengrass driving down the road on a tractor with a trailer.

And the trailer has got no springs.

No lumber plate.

And it's loaded with two tons of scrap metal in the pig.

Are you going to answer that?

These are the sort of things you have to deal with.

Ashfordly Police Station.

What was the address, madam?

Right.

Get somebody down there straight away.

It's for you, Nick. There's a disturbance on Aidensfield Estate.

Who's involved?

Sylvia Phillips and her son.

Oh, not again.

Hey,

come on, son, now. Pack it in.

Claude, can't you shut him up? You can't blame Alfred.

Not with Quasimodo there going about decked out like that morning, noon and

night. I mean, does he have to wear that mask in the house?

Well, I suppose he could take it off now, would he?

He had amongst friends, I suppose.

I wouldn't count on it.

He was a pretty boy.

He looks nearly normal.

I am normal.

I really hate wearing this all the time, Mr Starr.

It's your meal ticket, Mum. Don't mourn.

Shut up. He's taking it off.

There's only one thing we want to talk about, Mum.

Me and Vicky want you to come home.

Look, you know how things have been between me and your dad this last year.

It wouldn't work.

If you won't come home, there's nothing to talk about. What do you think?

That I've stopped seeing you? That I can't go around anymore?

Look, whatever's happened between me and your dad, look, whatever's gone wrong,

you're still my kid, and I love you.

Dad, please. Vicky, please.

Well, now look what you've done.

He's been going on for half an hour.

Are you Mrs. Fowles? I made the call. I live next door.

Oh, are you all right, Vicki? Come on, love, we can sort this out. Leave off,

will you, please?

Leave off!

Tony, please! Get off!

Tony, don't push it. I warned you yesterday.

Jim, please, stop him!

I think you'd better go.

Come on, love.

Has this happened before?

No, not as far as I know. But she only moved out two days ago.

Jim's been coping very well, considering what he's been through.

Ladies and gentlemen, your opportunity to see the ladies and gentlemen.

This man has never, ever been beaten in the ring.

And don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, this man's mask.

has never, ever been removed.

Mr. Greengrass. Hi, Captain. Do you know this challenge?

Is it open to anyone?

Yeah, of course it is. Provided they're like hospital food.

We're looking for challenges, lad.

You reckon you could check him on them?

I reckon I could do with prize money.

You need it to buy your bandages.

Put your name down there, shall I?

Yeah, yeah. Fair brother, Kent.

All right, son.

What's going on, Ventress?

Oh, it's the Masked Marvel. Meeting his fans, Sarge.

Looking for challenges.

Hook him.

Oh, sure.

Obstructing the highway.

Breach of the peace. Use your imagination.

Just move him.

How did you get on, love? Oh, it was awful.

Did you talk to Tony?

I tried. Don't worry.

They'll come round. They won't.

Just give them time.

You didn't see the look on their faces.

It was never going to be easy, love.

Well, I didn't think it was going to be like this.

Look, why don't we go away for a couple of days? Run away, you mean?

No, just a break.

It's them living so close. That's the problem.

I need to be on my own a bit, Mike.

I just need to think things through.

Please. I'll tell you what, Claude.

Herman's Herman should have had a job getting a bigger crowd than that.

Oh, are we going to clean up around here?

What are you doing?

Come here.

What are you doing?

Come here.

What are you doing? Come here.

Get off. Come on.

What are you doing? Go on, lay down.

Oh, that dog.

He bit me.

Traffic now.

Blue light.

Name seven vehicles that may show a blue light.

Seven police cars.

Nick, be serious.

You've got to pass this exam.

So you can tell your parents you're going out with a guardian?

No. I thought you were keen for promotion.

Well, go on then. Seven vehicles.

Fire, police, ambulance, blood transfusion, mine rescue, bomb disposal.

There's more. You'll have to look them up.

Now, three occasions when a vehicle may cross a double white line on a road.

When turning right into a side road to avoid an accident.

When complying with the direction of a constable in uniform.

Good.

Now, a procedural question.

You are off duty, you are walking past a licensed restaurant, and you realize

that you haven't taken your girlfriend out for a meal for ages.

Detail your action.

Hey!

I thought you went training in the morning.

I do.

What are you doing here?

My leg.

Thanks to your ruddy dog.

It's not nice, is it?

I have to say you got this.

Alfred bit him, did he, Claude? No, it wasn't his fault, though, were it? How

you were provoked.

Well, we'll need to run some tests to be certain, but it could be septicemia.

What's that when it's at home?

Very serious. It's blood poisoning.

Alfred's not poisonous.

Maybe not, but the bite's become infected.

You'll need a course of antibiotics straight away and a week's rest.

A week?

Sure starts tomorrow night.

Can you keep back, please?

Delta Alpha 3 -4 to Control.

Control? Go ahead, Nick.

Al, there's a possible hit and run on the Manningby Road.

The victim's Sylvia Phillips.

What's going on?

The Sylvia Phillips case.

The aim, none.

No, the murder case.

The preliminary report came in from the pathologist about an hour ago.

Death was caused by a single blow to the head.

No evidence of a collision with a vehicle.

So that's why the glory boy's here.

That's why Detective Superintendent Adams is here. Yes, Bellamy.

And he's taking Nick along with him.

Local knowledge.

And he's using Blaketon's office.

She left here about nine o 'clock.

And where were you all evening, Mr Scott?

Well, here, of course.

So you didn't go with her?

I wouldn't have been welcome where she was going.

And where was that?

Our Sylvia had gone home to make one last effort to get the kids to accept

situation.

I told her it was useless.

Better to let things settle.

Especially with Tony.

Tony was being quite a cracker toward his mother, sir.

Well, that was some of his family work, wasn't it?

Tighten it.

I'll get going.

Tickets are selling like hotcakes.

Well, as soon as you're getting a bit of cash in, do you think you can settle up

for the rent?

I'm not paying you a penny if I've got a show to put on tomorrow night.

Well, you've got all the other wrestlers.

They're only the warmer part.

Can't you get them to make it last a bit longer?

Don't, you old daft.

Why don't you intersperse it with an local sport or something? A bit of

might go down well.

Like what?

I don't know.

Ferret racing.

It's not funny, Claude.

These folk are paying good money to see the masked marvel.

And thanks to this vicious little fleabag, he's out of action.

I need a drink.

You're a pain.

I admire your optimism.

I was here all evening. Sylvia never showed up.

Was anyone here with you?

My daughter was here for part of the evening, then she went over to her

Since her mother left, she doesn't like spending much time in the house.

Where was your son?

Tony went out yesterday morning.

You were there. You saw him go off.

And when did he get back?

He didn't.

Was he out all night?

Yeah.

Must have stayed with a mate.

So where is he now?

I don't know.

Why are you asking all these questions about Tony?

I'll do all Statham's methods put out for Tony Phillips.

Oh, right there.

Get on to it.

Excuse me, sir, this is Douglas Ripley.

Sylvia Phillips was on his bus last night. He could have been one of the

people to see her alive.

One other thing, it was, if you let...

Gina do the warm -up, then you can put your rattlers on after.

She's got a cracking voice, isn't she, George? Oh, aye, she's like a bird.

great. She'd have a meeting out of her hand.

She's got her own backing band and all, isn't she, Gina?

What? I was saying, you've got your own backing band?

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I could get a few of the lads together.

So am I on, then?

I suppose it's better than ferret racing.

Ferret racing?

Don't let it worry you.

A word.

I still haven't got a chocolate to build. I know that, don't I? I'm working

it. Well, work faster, or eat a sausage.

What time did you drop Mrs Phillips off here?

About nine.

Did you see her go into the house?

No, I'd driven off by then.

But she was heading in that direction.

Sir. Excuse me.

Mr Harris saw Sylvia go into the house.

He had a row start up shortly afterwards.

And where does he live?

Just there.

He said they were screaming at each other.

Roll to Delta Alpha 2 -1.

Delta Alpha 2 -1 receiving.

Go ahead, Alf.

I've got news for you on Tony Phillips.

He was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in Whitby yesterday

How long did they hold him?

I think we'd better have another word with Mr Phillips.

Maggie and Tim thought him out. He'll just have a bit of a limp, that's all.

Look, I can't put the masked marvel on if he's below par, can I?

It only needs one likely lad to get lucky like your pal Hercules over there.

And the game will be up, the mask will be off, it'll be bye -bye the marvel and

bye -bye my show.

Are you listening to me, Claude?

No. Well, you'd better think of something fast, or I'll be done for.

And so will you be.

No, it won't, because I think I've just thought of a way to salvage your

entrepreneurial enterprise.

Eh? It's English. You wouldn't understand it being a bouncy American.

I was here all evening.

Sylvia never showed up. That's right.

Well, bus driver said he dropped her off on the corner about 9 .30pm.

Well, she never came here.

Well, your neighbour, Mr Harris, said he saw her entering this house.

He couldn't have done.

He also said he heard raised voices.

Voices which he's identified as yours and your wife's. I'm telling you, you've

got it wrong. Mrs Daly from next door heard raised voices as well.

Same story as Mr Harris.

A row that went on and on until all of a sudden it stopped.

Only Mrs Daly reckons she heard three voices.

OK.

OK.

What I said before wasn't true.

Sylvia was the alarm.

So you did have a row?

Yeah. A row that suddenly stopped.

Did someone come in? Is that why it stopped?

No. So what happened?

I did it.

You did what, Mr Phillips?

I killed her.

I killed Sylvia.

They're about the same height, aren't they?

Same build.

With the mask on.

Put your mask on, Kevin.

Look at that. Like a pair of bookends. Your mother won't know him.

By heck.

It just might work.

Just might work? What did I tell you?

What might work? I mean, we'll get away with it for a couple of shows.

Get away with what? I'll explain it all in a bit.

Hey.

Are you sure he can wrestle?

Well, no. I mean, he can still learn, can't he?

What are you talking about?

It takes years of training to become a wrestler.

Look, Marv, if somebody don't go in that ring tomorrow night, we're all out of a

job. You've got 24 hours.

There's plenty.

Sylvia said she just wanted to talk.

She started to get hysterical.

Said I was poisoning the kids against her.

Go on.

She began hitting out at me.

So I pushed her away.

That's when she fell.

It's right on the fireplace.

Is that how she died?

I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't just leave her there. I was

expecting Vicky home.

So you decided to get rid of the body?

I had to.

I thought no -one would have seen Sylvia come back and I could have made it look

like an accident.

For the kids' sake.

How did you move her?

I brought the car round the back, reversed it up to the door, put her in

boot.

And then what?

Well, I, er, drove out the village.

Well, didn't you see anyone?

Pass any other cars?

Never saw a soul.

Which way did you go?

I took the Manningby Road.

I stopped on the top.

I thought it might look like she'd been hit by a car.

I'm sorry.

Well, you and Superintendent What's -His -Name wrapped that one up in record

time. Would you like to do a good recommendation?

No, I don't know.

I think you might jump the gun a bit.

Why?

Well, there's something a bit odd about Jim Phillips.

I think he was making it up as he went along.

Well, he was probably in shock, wasn't he?

What did the super think?

Well, he thinks he's got his man.

But you don't.

I can't believe someone can put a body in the boot of their car, drive through

the village up the Manningby Road and not see anybody else.

Well, he would have seen someone on the Manningby Road last night.

I got held up by workmen repairing a birth water main.

They reckoned it was an all -night job.

Now, can we please talk about something else?

Don't be afraid. Go on, Gary.

That's it. Go on.

Come on, Ken.

Show him what you've got. Come on, you're not ballet dancers.

Get on with it. That's it, Ken. You've got it. Go on, Ken. Get your hand up.

Don't! Don't hit me!

Morning,

sir.

Well, you're an early bird, Rowan.

Has that forensic report on Jim Phillips' car come in yet, sir?

No, it's here somewhere.

Came in late last night.

There were no trace of hair, skin or blood in the boot.

And he's lying, Sarge.

Who's lying?

Well, Philip said he put his wife's body in the boot of his car.

But he couldn't have.

It's clean as a whistle.

Come on, come on, Ken. Oh, not again.

Ken, get... Come on, come on. That's it.

That's it, Ken. You've got it. Go on.

Get him over.

Don't let him do that.

Turn him round!

Yes!

There you go. What did I tell you? Just a matter of time.

Right, now we've got this sorted out, I'll make me 30 quid for this.

We're not out of the woods yet, Claude.

You'll get your brass at the end of the week, provided all this goes off without

a hitch.

I hope you're not just putting me on a promise.

Come on, get up.

I'm completely satisfied with the outcome.

There's no evidence to suggest Felix is lying.

I still think there's a few unanswered questions, sir.

Such as?

Well, the council were working on the Manningby Road that night.

Jim Phillips said he didn't see a soul.

He must have gone a different way.

No, sir. He said he took that road.

He wasn't in the frame of mind to read you to which planet he was on that

never mind which road he took.

Forensic couldn't find any trace of skin, blood or hair in the boot of the

sir. I've read the report, Sergeant.

Phillips must have cleaned out the boot after he dumped her.

There's also Mrs Daly, sir. She said she heard a third voice that night.

And you reckon she can be certain of that, Rowan?

With the Barney that was going on?

Look, we've got motive, opportunity and a confession, Constable.

If Rowan's right, sir, there's still a murderer on the loose.

Isn't that worth further investigation?

The case is closed, Sergeant.

Who's the star? Wasn't he brilliant, Corn?

What are you talking about? You weren't so bad yourself.

Wait till tomorrow night. I'm going to ask Mr. Stark and I'll stay home for a

bit longer.

Why don't you go and see him now while he's in a good mood? You never know, he

might pay you.

Has Ken been helping out or something?

What?

Oh, yeah, yeah, something like that.

Are you sure there was a third person in the Phillips house that night, Mrs

Daly? Yes, I am.

You couldn't hear what was being said?

Well, no.

As I told the other officer, it was just a babble of voices.

But there were definitely three of them.

Two females, one male.

Two females?

Yeah.

Well, you didn't mention that before.

The officer never asked.

But it was definitely two women doing most of the shouting.

Best idea I've had yet, Claude. No, but I can't see your pal the Marvel taking

too kindly to it. Well, maybe not. Look at it from my point of view.

How do you mean?

Well, nobody spotted that we switched men, did they?

Oh, no.

Right. Which means, in a few years' time, I can do the same trick again when

gets a bit long in it.

Providing he's got any left.

Jim said he was alone in the house with Sylvia.

But Mrs. Daly next door is positive she heard another woman's voice, too.

Could somebody already have been there?

It's possible.

I think Jim's lying, covering up for someone.

Who?

The only person I can think of is Vicky.

So you think Vicky Phillips was there that night?

It's possible, Sarge.

Well, you're not suggesting she had anything to do with her mother's death,

you? I mean, she's just a kid.

Are you saying that she loaded her mother's body in the boot of the car,

up Manningby Road, and then dumped her in a ditch?

No, Sarge.

Thank goodness for that.

That Jim story doesn't hold up.

We're only going to get the real story from whoever was with him that night.

Well, I suppose there's no harm in checking out exactly where Vicky was.

Winters!

Yeah, she's playing with a neighbour, Sarge. Mrs Fowles.

Well,

Jim Phillips comes up for remand hearing this morning.

He's hardly a danger to the community, so Adams won't oppose bail.

You took your time.

You can't do this to me, Sarge!

It's not fair!

You... Made your fortune out of me! You can't get rid of me just like that!

No.

Sarge, I've checked Vicky's statement and she was with Karen Sykes at East

Farm.

All evening?

Well, according to her friend, she left after an hour. Said she wanted some

fresh air.

What time was that?

About nine o 'clock.

Yeah, Sarge?

We've given her time to get back to the house.

You've got to hear this one.

I want to expose a fraud.

I'm the masked marvel.

Well, I'm King Farouk.

You're not wearing a mask.

All right, all right. I used to be the masked marvel. And I still would have

been if it hadn't been for that dog.

Let me get this straight.

You're accusing a dog of fraud?

No.

But in part of it...

So did this dog steal your mask?

He bit me.

That's how all this started.

I just need to get a bit more background, Mrs Fowles. I thought you'd

with all your questions.

It won't take long.

Look, Vic has been through enough already.

That video, you were at a friend's house the night your mother was killed, is

that right?

But only for an hour or so.

Where did you go after that?

I went for a walk.

By yourself?

Where'd you go?

I don't remember.

Well, what time did you get home?

I'm not sure.

It was quite late.

And who was in the house?

Just Dad.

But he'd gone to bed.

So you didn't see your mother that evening?

No.

I wish I had.

I hope I never see her again.

Look, surely that's enough, Constable. She's answered your questions.

It's all right, love.

Here you go, Alf.

You'll never guess.

Who that bloke thinks he is.

Chuntering on for half an hour.

I'm the Marvel, and I want the mask back.

It could be true, you know, Alf.

There's something funny going on.

Whoever the Mask Marvel is, it's not Ken Fairbrother.

What's Ken Fairbrother got to do with it?

He was wearing the mask in the ring last night.

That's outrageous.

Do you mean to say we pay good money to see a fake?

Yep. I hear Greengrass and Mr Star talking about it.

Apparently, Ken's only got the job as long as he's the right size of face.

It's not right.

Hey, we think there was someone else besides Jim and Pilgrim in the house

night. I think they have a close friend who might have been there. No, I haven't

think of.

Does this mean you don't think Jim did it?

I'm not saying that.

Well, I am.

He wouldn't have killed Sylvia.

What makes you think that?

It wouldn't have been Jim or any of his family.

You see, Sylvia had decided to go home for good.

That's what she went to tell them.

That's all I can say, brother. Everything I know.

Well, you must have one or two tricks up your sleeve.

What do you want about me?

Well, in my booth, if you really are the Masked Marvel... I am.

Well, there's only one way and one place to settle this.

I know I should have said this before, but I was scared.

He might think I killed her, and I didn't. On my mother's life, I didn't.

So why did Sylvia change her mind?

She couldn't take what he was doing to the family.

She reckoned it wouldn't work between me and her while they were going through

all this grief.

So she decided to do what the family wanted?

Yeah. So why would Jim kill her?

yeah it came into my heart

I'm inclined to agree with you. But if we're going to prove Jim didn't kill

what we need is some hard evidence.

Do we know what he and his wife were rowing about?

We've only got Jim's version of events.

His statement doesn't stand out at all now we know she was going home for good.

Are we sure they were rowing? How many witnesses have you got?

Mr Harris and Mrs Daly.

And they were both certain they heard raised voices.

What about Mrs Fowles?

Doesn't she live next door?

Yeah. Yeah, she didn't mention hearing anything.

I think he's gone back home.

Yeah, I know that, Mrs. Bowles.

Who? It's you I've come to see this time.

Who?

About the night Sylvia came home to see her family.

The night she died.

Well, Mr. Harris heard the argument. He lived across the road.

I didn't hear anything.

I thought you were in all evening.

Oh, I was, most of the time.

I did go out for a drive.

We didn't mention that in your statement.

Where did you go?

I went around.

On your own?

Yeah.

What's all this then?

Anne told me you've been pestering Vicky. Now you're badgering the

I've told you what happened. It's got nothing to do with anyone else. Would

have any objection to forensics taking a look at your car, Mrs Fowle?

Why?

Just routine.

Just leave us alone, will you?

I'll deal with this, Anne.

Your wife had come back home that night to tell you she wanted to try again, Mr

Phillips.

It wasn't the first time she tried to patch things up, was it?

But it never worked.

I take it that was the night she finally realised why.

My

lord,

ladies and gentlemen, and now the finale of this extraordinary

extravaganza. The moment you've all been waiting for.

The ex -wonder of the world. He's mean.

He's moody.

He's magnificent.

He's the primeval provincius of professional wrestling.

your affair begin, Mrs. Fowles?

About a year ago.

Jim and Sylvia were never really suited.

Jim was always so quiet and Sylvia was... But they'd been together for 20

Must have been the answer to all your prayers when Sylvia took up with Mike

Scott.

The marriage was over.

Jim thought if we kept our heads down, let the dust back in.

Let Sylvia take the blame, you mean?

When she walked in, saw me and Jim together, everything must have fallen

place.

She went wild.

She would have killed me if I hadn't protected myself.

So what did you do?

I fought back.

I pushed her onto the floor.

on the fireplace.

I never thought it'd kill her.

But it did.

Jim was distraught.

He managed to help me get her into the car.

I left him in the house.

Drove out to the village.

So as far as your friends were concerned, Sylvia was the one who caused

marriage to break down?

Yeah.

Did anyone know about you and Mrs Fowles?

We were always very discreet.

I thought because Sylvia went off with Mike, nobody would blame me if Anne and

went off after a few months.

But Sylvia did blame you.

I never wanted her to find out like that.

If she hadn't come in, found us together, it would never have happened.

Everything would have been all right for everybody.

Why did you say that you killed your wife?

I thought it were better if I took the blame.

Why? I thought it'd be considered a crime of passion that I get a light

at the worst.

Well, you're under a misapprehension.

There's no such thing as a crime of passion under English law.

As you and Mrs Fowles are about to find out.

What a mess.

It's Tony and Vicky I feel sorry for. It's like they've lost both parents now.

It's going to take them a long time to come to terms with it all.

Clayton should have bought you these.

He must be pleased that you scored one over CID.

Cheers, Alfie. He even approves of me taking my sergeant's exam.

Well, you'd better get on with your revision, then.

No, not tonight, Alf.

Fine, please.

Oh, I'm old.

So, putting the mask on again tomorrow, are we, then?

Nope.

I thought the star was having it back.

I turned him down.

Excuse me.

He seems to know a lot about it. Did you have police assistance?

I mean, were you to put up job?

Put up job's about right, Claude. Trading under false pretenses, for a

Not to do with me.

Tonight was the first time in ten years I've wrestled down a mask.

It felt great.

Sure. What are you going to do?

I'm going to strike out on my own. I can't wait.

And I can't thank you enough.

Oh.

Excuse me, it's Alfred you want to be thanking.

Standard room for him. You'd still be wearing a mask.

That's true.

Well, he's very partial to a bag of crisps. And since I'm his trainer, I'll

a large scotch.

Heartbeat, what do you miss when my baby kisses me?

Why does a love chip pay in my memory?
