00:00:04,606 --> 00:00:09,805
<i>Reading Rock Festival 1979
is deliriously thrilled to welcome</i>

2
00:00:09,966 --> 00:00:13,003
<i>the holy trinity of Edwin Droodl</i>

3
00:00:18,806 --> 00:00:22,435
<i>On electric fiddle,
the legendary Roy Pilgriml</i>

4
00:02:28,406 --> 00:02:32,035
- Are you sure you know where you're going?
- L'll be fine.

5
00:03:10,006 --> 00:03:12,201
HE-E-E-ELP!

6
00:04:11,446 --> 00:04:15,564
<i>You're listening to Classic FM.
Coming up next, Vivaldi.</i>

7
00:05:47,846 --> 00:05:50,838
Morning. Is there a problem? What's happened?

8
00:05:51,006 --> 00:05:54,601
Do you know Mr Pilgrim?
We're getting no reply.

9
00:05:54,766 --> 00:05:58,805
L'm his fianc�e. He should be in.
He's expecting me at nine.

10
00:05:58,966 --> 00:06:01,002
What's this all about?

11
00:06:02,366 --> 00:06:03,685
Roy?

12
00:06:06,406 --> 00:06:07,725
Roy?

13
00:06:07,886 --> 00:06:09,683
In here!

14
00:06:15,886 --> 00:06:18,400
What the hell's happened to you?

15
00:06:19,566 --> 00:06:24,720
Got a crack on the back of the head. Thought
they'd gone. One caught me from behind.

16
00:06:24,886 --> 00:06:29,596
They rifled the safe
and then cuffed me to this thing,

17
00:06:29,766 --> 00:06:32,155
so I couldn't raise the alarm.

18
00:06:32,326 --> 00:06:34,886
L think you'll need a hacksaw.

19
00:06:37,046 --> 00:06:39,958
Before we go into this, there is another matter

20
00:06:40,126 --> 00:06:41,479
concerning a...

21
00:06:45,566 --> 00:06:49,036
What kind of sick games
have you been playing?!

22
00:06:49,526 --> 00:06:51,596
How many of you saw this girl?

23
00:06:51,766 --> 00:06:53,722
We all did, sir.

24
00:06:53,886 --> 00:06:57,117
Where is she?
Her mother's worried out of her mind.

25
00:06:57,286 --> 00:06:58,639
Who?

26
00:06:58,806 --> 00:07:02,560
The pretty little thing
you invited for tea and crumpets!

27
00:07:03,246 --> 00:07:08,400
Don't pull that innocent routine!
Why do you think the police are here?

28
00:07:08,566 --> 00:07:10,682
Francine, I haven't a clue...

29
00:07:10,846 --> 00:07:15,761
Mr Pilgrim, can you tell us where you were
at four o'clock yesterday afternoon?

30
00:07:17,326 --> 00:07:19,044
Is this a joke?

31
00:07:20,646 --> 00:07:23,683
L haven't moved from here in 20 hours!

32
00:07:23,846 --> 00:07:27,839
L'm not Harry Houdini!
Is someone trying to be funny?

33
00:07:28,006 --> 00:07:31,237
Nothing funny about a missing person,
Mr Pilgrim.

34
00:07:32,486 --> 00:07:36,001
We know she left home yesterday morning
for this address.

35
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:41,843
It appears she was seen by six eye-witnesses
entering your house through this door

36
00:07:42,006 --> 00:07:45,043
at 4.00, as the school bus was arriving.

37
00:07:47,406 --> 00:07:51,399
- Someone's putting you on.
- Mr Pilgrim, a straight answer, please!

38
00:07:51,566 --> 00:07:57,755
Did you let a 16-year-old girl named
Tracy Cook into this house yesterday?

39
00:07:57,926 --> 00:08:02,044
L don't know what you're playing at,
but let's lay it to rest now.

40
00:08:02,206 --> 00:08:07,234
L've been sat here staring
at these four walls since midday yesterday

41
00:08:07,406 --> 00:08:09,317
till the moment you arrived.

42
00:08:09,486 --> 00:08:15,482
And, on my granny's grave, no one
has come in through those French windows.

43
00:08:23,046 --> 00:08:28,439
OK, so, if your friend in the back
could stick an old sock in it this time,

44
00:08:28,606 --> 00:08:33,157
perhaps we can get this one alone
to give the illusion that we have a brain!

45
00:08:33,326 --> 00:08:35,123
OK... go.

46
00:08:35,286 --> 00:08:41,122
"At the post box, look fore and aft to see
the sea. What year does it appear to be?"

47
00:08:41,286 --> 00:08:44,517
- Fore and aft...
- It's in front of us and behind us.

48
00:08:44,686 --> 00:08:48,315
- To see the sea...
- Tough one.

49
00:08:50,286 --> 00:08:54,996
To see the sea, what year does it appear
to be? Fore and aft...

50
00:08:56,686 --> 00:08:59,325
There's the sea on this pub sign.

51
00:09:01,486 --> 00:09:04,364
What year does it appear to be?

52
00:09:04,526 --> 00:09:08,644
The building's Jacobean.
What's that? Early 17th century?

53
00:09:09,406 --> 00:09:14,161
Too vague. Anyway, it's sideways on,
so it doesn't work.

54
00:09:14,326 --> 00:09:16,999
Um... what seas are there, then?

55
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:19,555
- Red Sea...
- Black Sea...

56
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:22,843
- Black Sea... Dead Sea...
- Irish Sea...

57
00:09:23,006 --> 00:09:26,157
- What year does it appear...
... To be?

58
00:09:30,686 --> 00:09:32,756
All right, what's the answer?

59
00:09:32,926 --> 00:09:34,996
1983.

60
00:09:35,166 --> 00:09:36,519
Why?!

61
00:09:36,686 --> 00:09:40,235
You see that old Vauxhall back there?

62
00:09:42,086 --> 00:09:46,204
How do you look forwards and backwards
at it at the same time?

63
00:09:55,886 --> 00:09:57,604
Oh-h!

64
00:09:57,766 --> 00:10:01,361
A reg - 1983.

65
00:10:01,526 --> 00:10:07,123
Well, how do they expect anybody
in the whole wide world to get that?!

66
00:10:07,286 --> 00:10:11,120
Another miracle!
And, see, it was all done with mirrors!

67
00:10:11,286 --> 00:10:18,203
Greg, if you're planning to open your legs
any wider, let me know, I'll get out the car.

68
00:10:37,286 --> 00:10:38,639
Hello?

69
00:10:38,806 --> 00:10:42,481
Yes. We've just done clue 24, I'm afraid.

70
00:10:42,646 --> 00:10:45,240
Yes, I know, it's desperately boring.

71
00:10:45,406 --> 00:10:49,319
Thanks to Abracadabra here,
we'll be finished by half past.

72
00:10:49,486 --> 00:10:52,125
OK, see you in the pub. Bye, babe.

73
00:10:52,286 --> 00:10:56,279
L've got a bum bandit on my tail.
Pull back, you little...!

74
00:11:02,446 --> 00:11:05,836
STUPID, BIRD-HEADED BITCH!

75
00:11:20,366 --> 00:11:25,156
If she calls me Abracadabra once more,
I may go berserk with that emery board,

76
00:11:25,326 --> 00:11:28,159
file down her face till it resembles an egg.

77
00:11:28,326 --> 00:11:31,636
It's just Sheena's way.
L think she quite likes you.

78
00:11:31,806 --> 00:11:36,038
L can't tell you how much I've enjoyed
sharing the back with Mr Biceps,

79
00:11:36,206 --> 00:11:38,595
who expands like a gas to fill any space.

80
00:11:38,766 --> 00:11:41,644
L felt his thigh pulse through my trousers!

81
00:11:41,806 --> 00:11:45,435
Will you make the effort?
She is my best friend!

82
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:53,523
So that's what you do? Sit at home all day
and think up conjuring tricks?

83
00:11:55,446 --> 00:11:58,677
<i>- How amazingly pointless!
- Thank you.</i>

84
00:11:58,846 --> 00:12:01,280
What's the deal between you and Maddy?

85
00:12:01,446 --> 00:12:04,882
L mean, is it like serious passion time here?

86
00:12:06,126 --> 00:12:09,198
How far into your world is she allowed to go?

87
00:12:09,366 --> 00:12:12,164
L mean, have you shown her
your magic wand yet?

88
00:12:12,326 --> 00:12:13,645
<i>Wedding? I</i>

89
00:12:13,806 --> 00:12:17,799
You've got some nerve, Ron! This is not real!

90
00:12:18,246 --> 00:12:20,555
Hello, lover's tiff?

91
00:12:20,726 --> 00:12:22,478
Thanks, treasure.

92
00:12:22,646 --> 00:12:25,206
That's the cow that carved me up!

93
00:12:25,366 --> 00:12:28,005
Got other things on her mind, obviously.

94
00:12:28,166 --> 00:12:30,680
OK, you want me to believe you've changed?

95
00:12:32,046 --> 00:12:34,401
You'll never change, Roy!

96
00:12:34,566 --> 00:12:38,275
L'm condemned before I start?!
L don't get a chance?!

97
00:12:38,446 --> 00:12:41,518
Six eye-witnesses watched her
walk into your house!

98
00:12:41,686 --> 00:12:44,644
It's a conspiracy! They were bought off!

99
00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:46,922
Six schoolboys, Roy?!

100
00:12:47,086 --> 00:12:50,965
Francine, I never touched her! L never saw her!

101
00:12:51,126 --> 00:12:55,324
For God's sake, just leave!
Don't contaminate my life!

102
00:12:56,526 --> 00:12:59,245
Oops-a-daisy.

103
00:13:03,686 --> 00:13:08,123
Go on, chuck it down the drain,
show her what you think of her!

104
00:13:10,286 --> 00:13:12,880
He still loves her, you see?

105
00:13:13,046 --> 00:13:15,480
Probably just wants the money back.

106
00:13:17,566 --> 00:13:20,922
- Are you all blind?!
- What's your problem?

107
00:13:21,926 --> 00:13:24,235
Can't you see who that is? That guy?

108
00:13:25,126 --> 00:13:26,878
Who?

109
00:13:27,046 --> 00:13:29,765
Who?! That is Roy Pilgrim!

110
00:13:31,406 --> 00:13:35,365
You are KIDDING me!

111
00:13:35,526 --> 00:13:38,324
- No!
- Who's Roy Pilgrim?

112
00:13:38,486 --> 00:13:40,044
Roy Pilgrim!

113
00:13:42,486 --> 00:13:44,283
Edwin Drood?

114
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:50,839
You probably liked them, did you?

115
00:13:51,006 --> 00:13:55,238
They were in the vanguard
of progressive rock through the 70s and 80s!

116
00:13:55,406 --> 00:13:59,365
- They made some seminal stuff!
- That's a polite way of saying it.

117
00:13:59,526 --> 00:14:01,562
L suppose you liked Percy Sledge?

118
00:14:01,726 --> 00:14:04,286
- Ah, now you're talking!
- Yes, Percy!

119
00:14:04,446 --> 00:14:07,677
- We loved Percy.
- We loved Percy!

120
00:14:07,846 --> 00:14:13,955
We loved him, but not
quite as much as we loved Otis!

121
00:14:33,766 --> 00:14:35,916
L know, I've just seen it.

122
00:14:38,166 --> 00:14:44,275
Kids'll tell you anything to be part
of the story. L don't know what they saw.

123
00:14:44,446 --> 00:14:46,562
Appearances can be deceptive.

124
00:14:46,726 --> 00:14:52,676
Yes. Despite the appearance of something
in your trousers, you haven't a leg to stand on.

125
00:14:52,846 --> 00:14:57,522
<i>You haven't got a case. You've taken
my house to pieces and scored zero.</i>

126
00:14:57,686 --> 00:14:59,961
Mr Pilgrim, you...

127
00:15:00,606 --> 00:15:02,676
Are you any good with these?

128
00:15:04,526 --> 00:15:08,838
You say you never left the room
from about midday onwards?

129
00:15:09,006 --> 00:15:11,395
Sure, plumbed into the heating system!

130
00:15:11,566 --> 00:15:14,763
You don't think you could have
passed out again?

131
00:15:14,926 --> 00:15:16,484
Fallen asleep?

132
00:15:16,646 --> 00:15:17,965
Thanks.

133
00:15:18,126 --> 00:15:21,562
L didn't pass out. L was awake until it got dark.

134
00:15:21,726 --> 00:15:26,561
<i>L knew I was stuck there till Francine
arrived, so I used the time.</i>

135
00:15:26,726 --> 00:15:30,401
<i>L wrote three songs
to get my mind off my bladderl</i>

136
00:15:30,566 --> 00:15:32,238
<i>And at 4.00?</i>

137
00:15:32,406 --> 00:15:36,445
<i>3.00-4.00, I listened to Classic FM,
so that fixes the time.</i>

138
00:15:36,606 --> 00:15:40,394
<i>At 4.00, they went into Vivaldi,
so I switched it off.</i>

139
00:15:40,566 --> 00:15:44,684
<i>L'm staring right at the window
where she's supposed to have come in.</i>

140
00:15:44,846 --> 00:15:49,078
Did you write to this girl inviting her
to come and meet you on Monday?

141
00:15:49,246 --> 00:15:52,841
- Why would I do that?
- She was young, attractive.

142
00:15:53,006 --> 00:15:54,724
She'd sent you photos.

143
00:15:54,886 --> 00:15:58,003
You're sick
and what you are suggesting is sick.

144
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:00,600
And what am I suggesting, Mr Pilgrim?

145
00:16:00,766 --> 00:16:05,203
That Tracy Cook found her hero
wanted to give her more than an autograph?

146
00:16:05,366 --> 00:16:07,402
That it all got very nasty

147
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:09,636
in ways I don't like to think about.

148
00:16:09,806 --> 00:16:15,005
Afterwards, to give yourself an alibi,
you cooked up the burglars and radiators!

149
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:18,078
Like I told your colleague before you arrived,

150
00:16:18,246 --> 00:16:22,444
the only thing that come in
through those French windows was a frog.

151
00:16:22,606 --> 00:16:24,642
- If I...
- What do you mean?

152
00:16:24,806 --> 00:16:29,243
Er... little green frog with a red belly.

153
00:16:29,406 --> 00:16:32,364
What do you mean, "Told our colleague"?

154
00:16:34,006 --> 00:16:35,485
I...

155
00:16:37,886 --> 00:16:40,639
...never said I was the police.

156
00:16:40,806 --> 00:16:44,355
L just said I'd like help with my enquiries.

157
00:16:45,766 --> 00:16:47,996
You're not his legal advisor?

158
00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:50,043
Legal advisor?

159
00:17:38,526 --> 00:17:39,845
Hi?

160
00:17:40,006 --> 00:17:41,883
In here. L'm cooking.

161
00:17:45,766 --> 00:17:47,802
What's the matter with you?

162
00:17:47,966 --> 00:17:51,481
L was just reminded of that quote
by Robert Oppenheimer,

163
00:17:51,646 --> 00:17:54,399
"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. "

164
00:17:54,566 --> 00:17:56,636
L overdid the croutons slightly.

165
00:17:56,806 --> 00:17:59,764
It's like Gandhi's funeral pyre in here!

166
00:17:59,926 --> 00:18:03,362
Yes. Now you've put the gas out, thank you

167
00:18:03,526 --> 00:18:05,881
L was getting on fine till you arrived!

168
00:18:10,166 --> 00:18:14,478
This lightness of touch you have
in the kitchen is a joy to behold

169
00:18:14,646 --> 00:18:18,002
So, tell me about Pilgrim.
Is he capable of murder?

170
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:20,316
L've heard him sing, obviously.

171
00:18:20,486 --> 00:18:25,879
L don't get it. Six witnesses
all saw her go in at four o'clock.

172
00:18:26,046 --> 00:18:29,163
Now, if that's right, he hasn't got a prayer.

173
00:18:29,326 --> 00:18:35,356
Yet he swears blind he was in the room
all afternoon fully conscious and saw no one.

174
00:18:35,526 --> 00:18:38,086
He's either very stupid or very devious.

175
00:18:38,246 --> 00:18:40,237
- Or neither.
- What do you mean?

176
00:18:40,406 --> 00:18:43,000
Maybe he's saying it because it's true.

177
00:18:43,166 --> 00:18:45,361
Is that supposed to be doing that?

178
00:18:50,086 --> 00:18:52,884
Two more minutes. What do you mean, true?

179
00:18:53,046 --> 00:18:57,801
A girl can't vanish into thin air
while walking through a pair of French...

180
00:18:57,966 --> 00:19:03,086
Do you know, I never know when
you're winding me up. That's the trouble.

181
00:19:03,246 --> 00:19:06,397
Do you want to pick us out
a bottle of something?

182
00:19:08,286 --> 00:19:10,436
Any particular one?

183
00:19:11,566 --> 00:19:12,999
What's this?

184
00:19:13,766 --> 00:19:15,324
Oh, petrol.

185
00:19:16,086 --> 00:19:17,439
Petrol?!

186
00:19:17,606 --> 00:19:21,360
L can't leave it in the car. Things get nicked!

187
00:19:21,526 --> 00:19:23,562
L'll put it in the hall, shall I?

188
00:19:25,126 --> 00:19:27,845
By the canisters of napalm

189
00:19:30,206 --> 00:19:34,643
So this is the guy, Jacob Flowers,
who stuck the note under my wiper?

190
00:19:34,806 --> 00:19:37,036
What's his connection with Pilgrim?

191
00:19:37,206 --> 00:19:39,640
Heard of a cult called the Creed of Eden?

192
00:19:39,806 --> 00:19:41,125
No.

193
00:19:41,286 --> 00:19:44,278
They're into some kind of eco-religious thing.

194
00:19:44,446 --> 00:19:47,836
The world is God's garden, all life is sacred.

195
00:19:48,006 --> 00:19:51,794
It's easier for a rich man to enter
a camel if he stands on a box.

196
00:19:51,966 --> 00:19:55,720
This character is their grand prophet
and founding father.

197
00:19:55,886 --> 00:19:58,878
- If you know your history of rock...
- Intimately.

198
00:19:59,046 --> 00:20:03,005
You'll know it was on Edwin Drood's tour
of the States in July '87

199
00:20:03,166 --> 00:20:06,317
that Roy Pilgrim
became a disciple of the order,

200
00:20:06,486 --> 00:20:09,284
leading to the break-up of the group

201
00:20:09,446 --> 00:20:13,803
and some deadly solo albums
about rainforests and dolphins.

202
00:20:15,086 --> 00:20:19,364
So, Flowers will stick up for Pilgrim
because they're buddies,

203
00:20:19,526 --> 00:20:23,121
or maybe he knows something
about this that we don't.

204
00:20:23,286 --> 00:20:29,361
Don't scrape that off! It's meant to be
that colour, it's Cajun! Blackened catfish.

205
00:20:29,526 --> 00:20:31,756
Looks more like halibut to me.

206
00:20:31,926 --> 00:20:35,441
Blackened halibut, then. L had to improvise.

207
00:20:35,606 --> 00:20:38,359
Can we have less pedanticism and just eat.

208
00:20:42,326 --> 00:20:44,317
The word is pedantry.

209
00:20:51,406 --> 00:20:54,159
<i>No, Mr Danziger, a trifle baffling won't do!</i>

210
00:20:54,326 --> 00:20:56,715
A trifle baffling doesn't get near it!

211
00:20:56,886 --> 00:21:01,357
My fianc�e's dumped me, I'm looking
at charges of abduction or murder,

212
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:04,404
all because I wasn't smart enough to lie!

213
00:21:04,566 --> 00:21:07,922
They can put the cast
of "Goodbye, Mr Chips" on the stand,

214
00:21:08,086 --> 00:21:10,600
but it doesn't change what I saw!

215
00:21:10,766 --> 00:21:13,678
If you're any kind of lawyer, you'd better...

216
00:21:13,846 --> 00:21:16,314
Look, I'll call you back.

217
00:21:18,446 --> 00:21:22,155
That's the one.
You could hardly miss her from here.

218
00:21:23,246 --> 00:21:26,477
So... when she pressed this bell,

219
00:21:26,646 --> 00:21:28,364
someone...

220
00:21:28,526 --> 00:21:30,642
must have let her in.

221
00:21:30,806 --> 00:21:34,082
- What are you doing?
- You need to check it out.

222
00:21:34,246 --> 00:21:37,044
- L can't go in there!
- Why not?

223
00:21:37,206 --> 00:21:39,197
Roy Pilgrim!

224
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:41,436
L can't meet Roy Pilg...

225
00:21:42,086 --> 00:21:44,316
You're talking about mythology!

226
00:21:44,486 --> 00:21:50,482
You reduce someone to flesh and blood,
the whole thing's destroyed. The whole icon!

227
00:21:50,646 --> 00:21:54,002
Jonathan, you're beginning to sound like a prat.

228
00:21:54,166 --> 00:21:55,519
Sorry.

229
00:21:55,686 --> 00:21:58,200
<i>What does it take
to make you go away?</i>

230
00:21:58,366 --> 00:22:03,121
L'm sorry about yesterday,
but I'm interested in helping you, actually.

231
00:22:03,286 --> 00:22:05,754
<i>If you'll just take a minute to let us in.</i>

232
00:22:05,926 --> 00:22:07,439
What are you?

233
00:22:07,606 --> 00:22:12,122
<i>Right now, Mr Pilgrim?
We're the only hope you've got.</i>

234
00:22:16,126 --> 00:22:21,246
The white room. L'm standing in the white room!

235
00:22:21,406 --> 00:22:23,442
The white room!

236
00:22:23,606 --> 00:22:27,485
Yes, it's... certainly white, all right, no question.

237
00:22:27,646 --> 00:22:31,321
The white room
is like a... chamber of contemplation.

238
00:22:31,486 --> 00:22:33,602
It's where I centre creatively.

239
00:22:39,646 --> 00:22:43,116
And the actual Bandawi bush cats!

240
00:22:43,926 --> 00:22:46,281
<i>Utterly amazing!</i>

241
00:22:47,606 --> 00:22:53,078
Hand-carved speaker cabinets presented
by the Gambian percussionist Joshua Bandawi

242
00:22:53,246 --> 00:22:57,319
- in... what year where you there?
- 1973.

243
00:22:57,486 --> 00:23:00,523
L think you'll find it was '76.

244
00:23:00,686 --> 00:23:07,444
Because "Tribal Jam"
didn't hit the charts until early '77.

245
00:23:07,606 --> 00:23:10,518
We were in Zaire in '76.

246
00:23:10,686 --> 00:23:16,158
No. You were deported from Zaire in May '75.

247
00:23:16,326 --> 00:23:20,604
<i>After Martin Crow rode into the president's
jacuzzi on a wildebeest.</i>

248
00:23:21,446 --> 00:23:23,198
Mad as a light bulb!

249
00:23:24,166 --> 00:23:28,398
Yeah. Er... I don't suppose
you see much of the others now, do you,

250
00:23:28,566 --> 00:23:30,636
since the old firm split up?

251
00:23:31,446 --> 00:23:34,916
The band was always riven
by petty factionalism.

252
00:23:35,086 --> 00:23:37,122
L lived with them for 15 years.

253
00:23:37,286 --> 00:23:39,481
That's 15 years too long.

254
00:23:39,646 --> 00:23:44,037
And then came the Creed of Eden.
That's been quite a crusade for you.

255
00:23:44,206 --> 00:23:46,674
L try to follow my conscience.

256
00:23:47,806 --> 00:23:50,639
Jacob Flowers seems to be on your side.

257
00:23:50,806 --> 00:23:53,445
He left a note on my windscreen.

258
00:23:53,606 --> 00:23:58,122
They have a commune
about 20 minutes away - Hog's Belly Farm.

259
00:23:58,286 --> 00:24:01,801
L've been a kind of... patron for them.

260
00:24:01,966 --> 00:24:06,517
L guess he's as rattled about this as I am.
Is that one o'clock?

261
00:24:06,686 --> 00:24:09,280
L've got to record "The Waltons".

262
00:24:09,806 --> 00:24:11,683
"The Waltons"?

263
00:24:13,326 --> 00:24:15,317
L'll be two seconds.

264
00:24:15,486 --> 00:24:16,805
So...

265
00:24:19,886 --> 00:24:21,956
Have you found something clever?

266
00:24:22,846 --> 00:24:25,235
The gateway to a parallel dimension?

267
00:24:26,326 --> 00:24:27,918
"The Waltons"?!

268
00:24:29,326 --> 00:24:30,805
Jonathan!

269
00:24:30,966 --> 00:24:33,958
- The French windows.
- What?

270
00:24:35,286 --> 00:24:40,758
What do you want me to say? They're French
windows that people walk in and out of!

271
00:24:42,086 --> 00:24:45,920
The blinds are Venetian blinds
and the floor is just a...

272
00:24:51,686 --> 00:24:53,005
What?

273
00:24:55,606 --> 00:24:59,281
No, it's just the way these figures
are slightly faded.

274
00:24:59,446 --> 00:25:01,721
You see, down here?

275
00:25:03,366 --> 00:25:06,039
And down here.

276
00:25:09,846 --> 00:25:13,122
They're faded on the wrong side, surely?

277
00:25:14,326 --> 00:25:18,604
- These speakers, do they get moved about?
- Never.

278
00:25:18,766 --> 00:25:22,918
They were positioned for perfect balance
15 years ago. Why do you ask?

279
00:25:24,406 --> 00:25:26,237
L could be wrong,

280
00:25:26,406 --> 00:25:30,558
but it looks to me as if someone
has recently swapped them round.

281
00:25:35,726 --> 00:25:37,682
Well, I don't know.

282
00:25:37,846 --> 00:25:40,440
L mean, it's too incredible for words.

283
00:25:41,446 --> 00:25:44,836
Roy Pilgrim watches "The Waltons".

284
00:25:45,006 --> 00:25:47,395
But does that make him a murderer?

285
00:25:47,566 --> 00:25:49,841
Here, you can navigate.

286
00:25:50,006 --> 00:25:51,519
Where to?

287
00:25:51,686 --> 00:25:54,519
L thought we'd pay a visit to Hog's Belly Farm.

288
00:26:16,286 --> 00:26:18,197
Good afternoon.

289
00:26:18,366 --> 00:26:22,723
- Hi, my name's...
- Madeleine, right? We're expecting you.

290
00:26:23,806 --> 00:26:25,637
Toby Flowers.

291
00:26:25,806 --> 00:26:28,445
Guess you got the note from my uncle, huh?

292
00:26:28,606 --> 00:26:30,597
Well, it did intrigue me.

293
00:26:30,766 --> 00:26:32,961
Oh, this is my friend Jonathan.

294
00:26:33,126 --> 00:26:35,321
Hi, are you a journalist, too?

295
00:26:35,486 --> 00:26:39,365
More in the way of a technical advisor,
aren't you?

296
00:26:39,526 --> 00:26:41,881
On this business of the missing girl.

297
00:26:42,046 --> 00:26:44,241
It's the weirdest thing, isn't it?

298
00:26:44,406 --> 00:26:49,400
She could have walked in through that window
and never arrived the other side.

299
00:26:49,566 --> 00:26:51,955
Spooky, kind of, wouldn't you say?

300
00:26:53,286 --> 00:26:55,720
Now, do you want to come with me?

301
00:26:55,886 --> 00:26:59,640
L know my Uncle Jacob and Aunt Polly
are keen to see you.

302
00:26:59,806 --> 00:27:02,764
They're just up ahead bonding with the trees.

303
00:27:02,926 --> 00:27:04,996
And up...

304
00:27:06,726 --> 00:27:08,762
...and down.

305
00:27:08,926 --> 00:27:14,842
Circling and caressing the trunk with your trunk!

306
00:27:20,326 --> 00:27:24,956
If you feel you want to lick or nibble
the bark, don't be afraid to do that.

307
00:27:25,126 --> 00:27:28,243
Let the love flow from your body

308
00:27:28,406 --> 00:27:31,159
rhythmically into the tree.

309
00:27:31,326 --> 00:27:33,362
Down through the roots,

310
00:27:33,526 --> 00:27:35,517
into the earth.

311
00:27:35,686 --> 00:27:39,884
Remember, the tree will get
as much pleasure from this as you will.

312
00:27:40,046 --> 00:27:44,164
Do you do this sort of thing regularly, then?

313
00:27:44,326 --> 00:27:49,081
Since I met Jacob, 18 years ago now.
It's a really liberating experience.

314
00:27:49,246 --> 00:27:52,204
Especially for Polly,
who grew up in East London.

315
00:27:52,366 --> 00:27:56,120
- Which part? Barking?
- Mile End. Quite close.

316
00:27:56,286 --> 00:28:01,758
L've never seen anybody get that friendly
with a knothole. Almost grounds for divorce!

317
00:28:01,926 --> 00:28:05,123
You ever been up in an oak tree, Jonathan?

318
00:28:05,446 --> 00:28:09,724
It's true. We all owe
a tremendous debt to Roy Pilgrim.

319
00:28:09,886 --> 00:28:14,323
This whole estate,
everything you see, is down to his support

320
00:28:14,486 --> 00:28:16,522
and generosity.

321
00:28:16,686 --> 00:28:21,077
He was the greatest benefactor
you could ask for.

322
00:28:21,246 --> 00:28:23,521
How do you mean, was?

323
00:28:23,686 --> 00:28:28,521
L won't pretend this new fianc�e of his
was devoted to our cause.

324
00:28:28,686 --> 00:28:30,802
Francine Faraday.

325
00:28:30,966 --> 00:28:34,276
She runs
a small investment consultancy somewhere,

326
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:39,156
so she's probably
in need of spiritual enlightenment.

327
00:28:39,966 --> 00:28:43,276
So she was leading him
off the straight and narrow?

328
00:28:43,446 --> 00:28:46,199
It's for Roy to choose his own destiny.

329
00:28:46,366 --> 00:28:51,804
We were glad he'd found a relationship that
works for him, but now, with these rumours...

330
00:28:51,966 --> 00:28:57,040
If you can shed any light on this, Madeleine,
to clear Roy's name,

331
00:28:57,206 --> 00:29:02,644
believe me, your efforts will not go
unrewarded, and we're not talking money.

332
00:29:02,806 --> 00:29:06,276
Come with me. L want to show you something.

333
00:29:31,846 --> 00:29:35,077
There are four more underway back home,

334
00:29:35,246 --> 00:29:40,161
in Utah, Wyoming, Maine and New Mexico.

335
00:29:40,766 --> 00:29:44,805
Because the day will come,
make no mistake about that.

336
00:29:45,766 --> 00:29:47,757
And I'll make you a promise.

337
00:29:47,926 --> 00:29:52,681
Help Roy and there will be two seats
waiting for you

338
00:29:52,846 --> 00:29:55,360
on the journey to the new world!

339
00:29:59,726 --> 00:30:01,398
No way!

340
00:30:01,566 --> 00:30:03,557
What, like, an ark as in Noah?!

341
00:30:03,726 --> 00:30:07,162
- L don't believe you.
- L don't believe me and I was there!

342
00:30:07,326 --> 00:30:10,204
Seriously potty people, can't tell you!

343
00:30:10,366 --> 00:30:16,077
What do the police think? That he did her in.
He'll bluff it out until they find a body.

344
00:30:16,246 --> 00:30:17,998
If they find a body.

345
00:30:18,166 --> 00:30:21,715
L thought it was all down
to Marvo the Mystic here.

346
00:30:23,646 --> 00:30:27,082
What happened?
Did your special powers desert you?

347
00:30:27,246 --> 00:30:32,718
He did find something, actually.
Two funny speaker cabinets inside the door

348
00:30:32,886 --> 00:30:34,763
had been switched round.

349
00:30:34,926 --> 00:30:39,204
Because that's where he'd hidden her,
after he'd sawed her in half!

350
00:30:40,046 --> 00:30:41,479
No?

351
00:30:41,646 --> 00:30:45,605
OK, why would you deliberately swap round
a couple of speakers?

352
00:30:45,766 --> 00:30:49,554
- That's the question.
- That's not the question.

353
00:30:49,726 --> 00:30:51,364
What do you mean?

354
00:30:51,526 --> 00:30:54,882
- Well, you wouldn't.
- So, what's the point?

355
00:30:55,046 --> 00:30:58,163
None whatsoever, I should think.

356
00:30:58,326 --> 00:31:00,601
All right, you've lost me.

357
00:31:00,766 --> 00:31:06,602
L think what he is saying
is that it could be accidental.

358
00:31:07,086 --> 00:31:11,443
Consider it this way round.
Someone comes into Pilgrim's house.

359
00:31:11,606 --> 00:31:16,077
For whatever reason, they remove
a pair of identical-looking speakers.

360
00:31:16,246 --> 00:31:22,242
Later, they return them. Because they look
alike, they put them back wrong way round.

361
00:31:24,246 --> 00:31:29,274
But who would steal a pair of speakers
and then just put them back again?

362
00:31:31,126 --> 00:31:33,765
A very honest burglar?

363
00:31:38,006 --> 00:31:41,885
Better split, I think.
Adam said he might call from Vegas.

364
00:31:42,446 --> 00:31:46,405
L thought I'd check out the other
band members of Edwin whatsit.

365
00:31:46,566 --> 00:31:48,716
If I get anything, I'll ring you.

366
00:31:48,886 --> 00:31:50,524
See you, Sheena.

367
00:32:55,926 --> 00:33:01,683
Glenn, have you got a moment
to talk to this journalist about Roy Pilgrim?

368
00:33:01,846 --> 00:33:04,838
- From...?
- L'm freelance. Maddy Magellan.

369
00:33:05,006 --> 00:33:11,559
Mr McArthur. L can't believe I just shook the
hand that played guitar on "Hoodoo Woman"!

370
00:33:11,726 --> 00:33:16,595
Now I can die happy. No, I was after a bit
of background on your ex-colleague.

371
00:33:16,766 --> 00:33:22,716
What do you want me to say? That I loathed
the money-grabbing son-of-a-bitch?

372
00:33:22,886 --> 00:33:24,444
It's a start.

373
00:33:24,606 --> 00:33:29,316
We were young. We just wanted to play
rock 'n' roll. We weren't businessmen.

374
00:33:29,486 --> 00:33:34,355
Edwin Drood became a fundraiser
for our management and record companies.

375
00:33:34,526 --> 00:33:37,677
Roy, because he wrote the songs,
got sponsorship.

376
00:33:37,846 --> 00:33:40,406
He was the one who cleaned up.

377
00:33:40,566 --> 00:33:43,876
Don't ask me how.
L've spent years trying to forget.

378
00:33:44,046 --> 00:33:48,756
Did you say extra anchovies?
Mike said you did, but I swear you...

379
00:33:48,926 --> 00:33:50,837
What's this? What's going on?

380
00:33:51,006 --> 00:33:54,203
- Look, Tex, I'm really sorry, but...
- Jerry?

381
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,084
Who are these jokers?

382
00:33:56,246 --> 00:33:59,841
There comes a time,
for the greater good of the band...

383
00:34:00,006 --> 00:34:03,237
You've been replaced
is what he's trying to say, guys.

384
00:34:03,406 --> 00:34:06,204
- It happens.
- We were only gone for 20 minutes.

385
00:34:06,366 --> 00:34:10,359
Life moves on.
Can't we all stay cool about this?

386
00:34:10,526 --> 00:34:14,314
<i>You put together another line-up
while we went for a pizza?!</i>

387
00:34:14,486 --> 00:34:15,999
This is unreal!

388
00:34:16,166 --> 00:34:18,157
Jerry, can you handle it?

389
00:34:18,326 --> 00:34:20,317
We needed fresh blood.

390
00:34:20,486 --> 00:34:23,444
And you're gonna get it over these walls!

391
00:34:30,206 --> 00:34:34,563
So, what do you know
about this fianc�e of his?

392
00:34:34,726 --> 00:34:39,163
- Francine Faraday.
- Didn't strike me as Roy's type at all.

393
00:34:39,326 --> 00:34:41,282
More future mother-in-law.

394
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:43,562
What do you mean by that?

395
00:34:43,726 --> 00:34:45,796
Who did you say you wrote for?

396
00:34:45,966 --> 00:34:52,155
L'm putting a book together with major cases
that the police have got horribly wrong.

397
00:34:54,006 --> 00:34:57,919
My opinion, you're wasting your time
on this one.

398
00:35:01,006 --> 00:35:02,997
Thanks for your help.

399
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:23,315
Have one of these a day.
She'll soon be up and running.

400
00:35:23,486 --> 00:35:28,082
- Is there somewhere to wash my hands?
- Sure, inside in the kitchen.

401
00:35:47,326 --> 00:35:50,682
Toby? Oh, my God, what's happened?!

402
00:35:50,846 --> 00:35:54,839
He appears to have been suffocated or choked.

403
00:35:55,006 --> 00:35:57,520
You'd better call the police.

404
00:36:00,646 --> 00:36:02,796
There's something in there.

405
00:36:19,126 --> 00:36:21,117
What the hell is it?

406
00:36:29,126 --> 00:36:34,678
<i>...damage. The reason
for such vandalism is still a mystery.</i>

407
00:36:34,846 --> 00:36:39,795
<i>Detectives are investigating a bizarre
"Silence of the Lambs" style murder</i>

<i>at Hog's Belly Farm near Wittlingford,</i>

<i>himself in the news relating to
the disappearance of teenager Tracy Cook.</i>

413
00:37:10,286 --> 00:37:11,605
Hi.

414
00:37:13,446 --> 00:37:16,358
It's a pig of a night out here.

415
00:37:18,446 --> 00:37:21,756
<i>Before I became a puppet,
I was a gynaecologist.</i>

416
00:37:21,926 --> 00:37:25,521
<i>L wanted to be a brain surgeon,

417
00:37:25,686 --> 00:37:27,358

<i>What is long and thin and sticky?</i>

<i>A stickl</i>

420
00:37:39,766 --> 00:37:43,441
Behold the impecunious rock legend!

421
00:37:44,846 --> 00:37:49,442
As you can see, performing
is still my major source of income.

422
00:37:49,606 --> 00:37:55,954
L've got this reputation for instability,
which I could never get my head round.

423
00:37:56,126 --> 00:37:59,163
Don't want Marty Crow, no way!

424
00:38:01,486 --> 00:38:06,037
They don't want a drummer
who urinates on the audience. Why not?

425
00:38:06,206 --> 00:38:10,085
Personal contact with the public,
very important.

426
00:38:10,246 --> 00:38:16,003
Roy Pilgrim. What type of women
did he go for, would you say?

427
00:38:16,166 --> 00:38:20,523
Let's just say he wouldn't look at you
if he thought you'd had too many.

428
00:38:21,686 --> 00:38:24,280
- Drinks?
- Birthdays.

429
00:38:24,446 --> 00:38:28,997
Closer they were to the legal limit,
the more he liked them.

430
00:38:29,166 --> 00:38:33,045
In those days, there were
plenty around to like, believe me!

431
00:38:33,566 --> 00:38:34,999
That was then.

432
00:38:35,926 --> 00:38:38,394
His taste could have changed.

433
00:38:40,126 --> 00:38:41,605
Right.

434
00:38:55,526 --> 00:38:57,915
The "Hocus Pocus Junior"!

435
00:38:58,086 --> 00:39:02,523
L saw it in this old bookshop.
L thought, "What the hell,

436
00:39:02,686 --> 00:39:04,517
"I'll pop it round. "

437
00:39:04,686 --> 00:39:08,645
You drove 35 miles out of London
to bring it here.

438
00:39:08,806 --> 00:39:12,082
Well, you weren't exactly hard to find.

439
00:39:13,406 --> 00:39:15,397
L mean, if it's no good to you...

440
00:39:15,566 --> 00:39:18,922
It's one of the classic texts on medieval magic.

441
00:39:19,086 --> 00:39:21,236
What do I owe you?

442
00:39:22,446 --> 00:39:24,721
What do you want to give me?

443
00:39:28,646 --> 00:39:31,160
Where is your other half tonight?

444
00:39:31,326 --> 00:39:33,237
L shudder to think.

445
00:39:34,406 --> 00:39:36,636
Whoever she is, she has my sympathy.

446
00:39:36,806 --> 00:39:40,321
Sex for Greg is someone to talk to
while doing push-ups.

447
00:39:40,486 --> 00:39:45,719
If they invented an exercise bike that said,
"That was wonderful!", he'd propose.

448
00:39:45,886 --> 00:39:50,243
<i>Yes, I've never met a man before
whose IQ was the same as his bra size.</i>

449
00:39:50,406 --> 00:39:52,442
It's an interesting combina...

450
00:39:53,566 --> 00:39:56,922
- Help yourself to a sherry, by the way
- Thanks.

451
00:40:00,846 --> 00:40:02,677
L've got a theory.

452
00:40:02,846 --> 00:40:06,964
About those speakers, why someone
would take them out of the room.

453
00:40:07,126 --> 00:40:08,718
Go on, then.

454
00:40:09,766 --> 00:40:11,358
He was hypnotised.

455
00:40:12,726 --> 00:40:17,197
Someone took the speakers away,
rigged them up to play some recording

456
00:40:17,366 --> 00:40:21,564
that made him forget he'd seen the girl
come in through the window.

457
00:40:25,246 --> 00:40:26,759
Right.

458
00:40:28,086 --> 00:40:29,804
Involuntary hypnosis?

459
00:40:29,966 --> 00:40:31,445
Mmm-hmm.

460
00:40:31,606 --> 00:40:35,884
Not quite sure Roy Pilgrim's the sort
to go under without a fight.

461
00:40:36,046 --> 00:40:40,995
And why do all that instead of just dangling
a watch chain in front of his nose?

462
00:40:41,166 --> 00:40:42,645
Because...

463
00:40:42,806 --> 00:40:44,319
they...

464
00:40:46,086 --> 00:40:48,077
...didn't do that at all.

465
00:40:48,766 --> 00:40:52,998
- So what did they do?
- Why have you come here?

466
00:40:55,446 --> 00:40:57,243
Because I'm like you.

467
00:40:58,566 --> 00:41:00,716
<i>L can't resist a puzzle.</i>

468
00:41:05,486 --> 00:41:08,637
- Let me into your mind.
- Sorry?

469
00:41:14,886 --> 00:41:16,877
Lecture me.

470
00:41:20,246 --> 00:41:21,884
All right.

471
00:41:22,886 --> 00:41:24,444
Let's recap.

472
00:41:25,566 --> 00:41:29,275
Last Monday, a 16-year-old girl...

473
00:41:30,846 --> 00:41:32,802
...Tracy Cook,

474
00:41:32,966 --> 00:41:37,039
calls round to visit her hero,
rock star Roy Pilgrim.

475
00:41:37,206 --> 00:41:42,564
<i>Half a dozen schoolboys see her walk in
through the French windows at the back,</i>

476
00:41:42,726 --> 00:41:44,364
into the white room.

477
00:41:44,526 --> 00:41:47,165
That's proven fact. It's beyond dispute.

478
00:41:47,326 --> 00:41:50,045
At the exact same time, four o'clock,

479
00:41:50,206 --> 00:41:55,121
Pilgrim swears he was in the room,
fully conscious, handcuffed to the radiator,

480
00:41:55,286 --> 00:41:57,197
and saw no one come in.

481
00:41:57,366 --> 00:41:58,924
His watch was wrong.

482
00:42:00,686 --> 00:42:04,725
He knew the time
because he'd been listening to the radio.

483
00:42:04,886 --> 00:42:07,480
He says he was awake all afternoon.

484
00:42:07,646 --> 00:42:11,719
The only time he slept was during the night.

485
00:42:11,886 --> 00:42:15,765
So he has to be lying.
Nothing else makes sense.

486
00:42:15,926 --> 00:42:18,679
But what he says makes even less sense.

487
00:42:18,846 --> 00:42:21,440
Why go to the trouble of making up that story?

488
00:42:21,606 --> 00:42:26,202
He could say he wasn't there at all,
or he was still unconscious.

489
00:42:26,366 --> 00:42:28,277
No one could prove otherwise.

490
00:42:28,446 --> 00:42:33,042
No, instead, he says the one thing
that no jury will believe,

491
00:42:33,206 --> 00:42:37,245
that no one came in through the door.
Why? Because it's true.

492
00:42:37,406 --> 00:42:39,601
Both stories can't be true.

493
00:42:39,766 --> 00:42:41,085
It's impossible.

494
00:42:41,766 --> 00:42:44,997
- Is it?
- Yes, it is!

495
00:42:45,166 --> 00:42:50,081
You've been there. You've inspected it.
The police have inspected it.

496
00:42:50,246 --> 00:42:54,034
How can she just have vanished
into the ether?!

497
00:42:54,206 --> 00:42:57,562
Like some... phantom, or...

498
00:43:02,326 --> 00:43:04,840
What's the matter,
you got a frog in your throat?

499
00:43:24,926 --> 00:43:26,757
L'll get it.

500
00:43:56,046 --> 00:43:57,843
Jonathan Creek.

501
00:43:59,286 --> 00:44:02,323
Sorry, I know it's early.

502
00:44:02,486 --> 00:44:06,638
<i>- Did I wake you?
- Er... no, that's fine.</i>

503
00:44:07,846 --> 00:44:09,438
Are you well?

504
00:44:09,606 --> 00:44:12,723
<i>L just wanted to bring you up to date
on yesterday.</i>

505
00:44:12,886 --> 00:44:14,365
<i>My gut reaction now?</i>

506
00:44:15,326 --> 00:44:16,918
He did it.

507
00:44:17,086 --> 00:44:22,763
All this thing about young girls
seems to check out.

508
00:44:22,926 --> 00:44:26,521
Both his erstwhile buddies
said the same thing.

509
00:44:26,686 --> 00:44:31,760
<i>So... I know it looked promising, but...</i>

510
00:44:31,926 --> 00:44:36,556
I've got a feeling we should ditch it.
We're barking up the wrong tree.

511
00:44:37,726 --> 00:44:42,163
Funnily enough, I've just come
to the exact opposite conclusion.

512
00:44:42,326 --> 00:44:48,356
L draw your attention to page 197
of "The Observer's Book of Frogs".

513
00:44:58,006 --> 00:44:59,325
What...?!

514
00:44:59,486 --> 00:45:03,718
- He's done nothing wrong!
- You've got no evidence!

515
00:45:03,886 --> 00:45:07,435
- Roy, trust in the Lord!
- Vindictive fags!

516
00:45:07,606 --> 00:45:11,155
He's done nothing!
You'll go straight to Hell!

517
00:45:11,326 --> 00:45:16,844
And you'll go straight down the nick!
Sergeant, get those lunatics down!

518
00:45:31,806 --> 00:45:33,637
What's happening?

519
00:45:33,806 --> 00:45:35,683
Has he been charged?

520
00:45:35,846 --> 00:45:39,725
He's not in there to warm the seat!
Want to speak to him?

521
00:45:39,886 --> 00:45:44,402
No, I just came to collect one or two things.
Will that still be possible?

522
00:45:44,566 --> 00:45:46,557
The house is all yours.

523
00:46:03,446 --> 00:46:06,722
They've taken him, as we knew they would!

524
00:46:06,886 --> 00:46:10,515
- God help him!
- Without a shred of proof, of course!

525
00:46:10,686 --> 00:46:15,237
- Where do we go from here?
- L think the back gate's a good place.

526
00:46:59,766 --> 00:47:03,884
- Yes, Miss Faraday?
- L was... looking for my hairbrush.

527
00:47:04,046 --> 00:47:05,638
L used to keep...

528
00:47:05,806 --> 00:47:08,366
- What is this? L thought...
- Not quite.

529
00:47:08,526 --> 00:47:11,882
But never fear,
an arrest will be made very shortly.

530
00:47:12,046 --> 00:47:16,164
Though it sticks in the craw to admit
the press had any hand in this,

531
00:47:16,326 --> 00:47:21,480
thanks to our friend here, I'm now
seeing this business in a new light.

532
00:47:24,486 --> 00:47:27,842
- Go on, you're dying to tell them.
- Is she?

533
00:47:28,006 --> 00:47:31,362
You can all stay to listen. L'm off.

534
00:47:31,526 --> 00:47:34,438
You don't tend to hang about,
do you, Francine?

535
00:47:34,606 --> 00:47:38,758
Same as when your husband-to-be
was suspected, off like a bullet.

536
00:47:38,926 --> 00:47:41,838
So wonderful to have faith in one you love!

537
00:47:42,006 --> 00:47:47,364
Please, you think any woman alive would take
his word for it after what happened?

538
00:47:47,526 --> 00:47:52,122
Of course they wouldn't,
and that's what you were banking on...

539
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:56,598
Mr and Mrs Flowers,
when you engineered this whole affair.

540
00:47:56,766 --> 00:47:58,882
L beg your pardon?!

541
00:47:59,046 --> 00:48:01,480
Not mine to grant, unfortunately.

542
00:48:01,646 --> 00:48:04,877
L don't imagine a judge
will be too lenient, either.

543
00:48:05,046 --> 00:48:08,561
We've stood square behind Roy
from the word go.

544
00:48:08,726 --> 00:48:13,117
Yes... I don't think
believing in someone's innocence

545
00:48:13,286 --> 00:48:16,676
when you framed him
quite counts as loyalty, does it?

546
00:48:16,846 --> 00:48:19,155
Why on earth would we want to frame Roy?

547
00:48:19,326 --> 00:48:23,285
To get rid of the one person
who was a threat to your income.

548
00:48:24,406 --> 00:48:29,241
The logic of shelling out millions of pounds
to people who had sex with trees

549
00:48:29,406 --> 00:48:31,397
was a bit lost on you, wasn't it?

550
00:48:31,566 --> 00:48:34,603
Roy's interest in the Creed was on the wane.

551
00:48:34,766 --> 00:48:38,042
Of course, once you were married... oh, dear.

552
00:48:38,206 --> 00:48:40,879
Serious cash flow problems.

553
00:48:41,046 --> 00:48:43,196
So, she had to be scared off.

554
00:48:43,366 --> 00:48:44,799
Sharpish.

555
00:48:44,966 --> 00:48:48,800
You're saying this was like a trick
to set me up?

556
00:48:48,966 --> 00:48:53,642
Like the best tricks,
it was blindingly simple in theory,

557
00:48:53,806 --> 00:48:56,684
and fantastically elaborate in practice.

558
00:48:56,846 --> 00:49:02,523
But to a bunch of people building an ark
in their back garden, all things were possible.

559
00:49:07,486 --> 00:49:11,320
<i>Staging a break-in and putting him out
were the easy bits.</i>

560
00:49:18,206 --> 00:49:20,595
<i>An hour later, he comes round,</i>

561
00:49:20,766 --> 00:49:23,838
<i>to find he's trapped inside the white room.</i>

562
00:49:24,006 --> 00:49:25,803
HE-E-ELP!

563
00:49:28,326 --> 00:49:31,443
<i>He remains fully conscious all day.</i>

564
00:49:31,606 --> 00:49:36,157
<i>The only thing that comes through the door
is a small red-bellied frog.</i>

565
00:49:43,566 --> 00:49:49,596
At the same time, a teenage girl,
not noted for her frog-like appearance,

566
00:49:49,766 --> 00:49:54,840
is seen entering the door from the outside
by a bunch of boys at the back gate.

567
00:49:55,006 --> 00:49:57,474
There's no way it adds up.

568
00:49:57,646 --> 00:50:02,037
Until you realise the whole thing
was a classic piece of misdirection

569
00:50:02,206 --> 00:50:05,915
which relied on us all making
one, very false, assumption.

570
00:50:06,086 --> 00:50:11,319
That in both version of events,
we were talking about the same door.

571
00:50:17,126 --> 00:50:20,402
<i>A shame you couldn't
have followed that frog, Roy,</i>

572
00:50:20,566 --> 00:50:23,080
<i>as it hopped back outside.</i>

573
00:50:33,526 --> 00:50:38,316
<i>You'd have been impressed by the handiwork
of the drones at Hog's Belly Farm.</i>

574
00:50:38,486 --> 00:50:44,243
<i>God knows how long it took them to come up
with a replica correct to every last detail.</i>

575
00:50:44,406 --> 00:50:49,526
<i>But we can assume months of planning
and preparation when you weren't around.</i>

576
00:50:56,726 --> 00:51:00,162
<i>Sifting through the fan mail
for a suitable candidate.</i>

577
00:51:00,326 --> 00:51:03,796
<i>And forging the letter
that would bring her here.</i>

578
00:51:15,406 --> 00:51:19,445
<i>Tracy Cook was instructed to call
at the back gate at four o'clock</i>

579
00:51:19,606 --> 00:51:23,963
<i>because you knew there would be witnesses
then to watch her going in.</i>

580
00:51:26,206 --> 00:51:30,518
<i>Inside, I don't know,
she's told there's a change of plan.</i>

581
00:51:30,686 --> 00:51:32,483
<i>Roy will meet her at the farm.</i>

582
00:51:32,646 --> 00:51:36,798
<i>She's whisked off out of the front
to be hidden away somewhere.</i>

583
00:51:36,966 --> 00:51:42,518
<i>All this time, Roy's been in what he thinks
is his own room, jotting down songs.</i>

584
00:51:42,686 --> 00:51:47,202
The one thing you couldn't duplicate
were the African speakers.

585
00:51:47,366 --> 00:51:49,926
But you just took them with you.

586
00:51:51,806 --> 00:51:54,764
<i>Finally, it gets dark and Roy nods off.</i>

587
00:51:54,926 --> 00:51:57,918
<i>That's when you pull the second switch,</i>

588
00:51:58,086 --> 00:52:00,680
<i>making sure he won't wake up on the way.</i>

589
00:52:13,126 --> 00:52:15,003
<i>Back he goes into his own room.</i>

590
00:52:15,166 --> 00:52:19,876
<i>Along with the speaker cabinets which
we know ended up the wrong way round.</i>

591
00:52:21,966 --> 00:52:25,641
As compromising set-ups go, it was a gem.

592
00:52:27,086 --> 00:52:30,237
The man's convicted by his own honesty.

593
00:52:30,406 --> 00:52:34,558
While you lot leap about in his defence
to keep the handouts coming.

594
00:52:34,726 --> 00:52:37,763
Well, you got a colourful imagination.

595
00:52:37,926 --> 00:52:40,963
And you've got a colourful frog.

596
00:52:41,126 --> 00:52:43,845
Lots of them, I reckon.

597
00:52:44,006 --> 00:52:46,440
Where's your little book?

598
00:52:48,566 --> 00:52:50,238
Look familiar?

599
00:52:51,726 --> 00:52:55,002
The Anasase River Toad.

600
00:52:57,166 --> 00:53:01,284
<i>Much prized by the Indians of New Mexico,
and many others,</i>

601
00:53:01,446 --> 00:53:04,119
for its narcotic secretions.

602
00:53:04,286 --> 00:53:07,244
The quickest way to get a fix, basically,

603
00:53:07,406 --> 00:53:09,601
is to put it in your mouth and suck.

604
00:53:09,766 --> 00:53:14,123
Being careful not to overdo it,
or you end up like poor old Toby.

605
00:53:16,206 --> 00:53:19,039
That's what joined it all up, I have to say.

606
00:53:19,206 --> 00:53:22,994
If these frogs are being bred
on a commune at Hog's Belly Farm,

607
00:53:23,166 --> 00:53:27,637
how the hell did one appear at these
French windows nearly 15 miles away?

608
00:53:27,806 --> 00:53:31,276
Unless it had gone for a very long walk,
or hitched a lift,

609
00:53:31,446 --> 00:53:36,236
there was only one explanation - it had
never left the farm in the first place.

610
00:53:36,406 --> 00:53:41,196
And, as ludicrous as it sounds,
the window and the room

611
00:53:41,366 --> 00:53:43,243
and Roy Pilgrim...

612
00:53:46,726 --> 00:53:49,399
...had to be there, as well.

613
00:53:51,286 --> 00:53:54,722
Sorry, I think my head may explode.
L can't take this in.

614
00:53:56,846 --> 00:54:01,158
The lads are turning your place over
even as we speak.

615
00:54:01,326 --> 00:54:04,602
You could save time by telling us where she is.

616
00:54:07,246 --> 00:54:09,806
What the hell, let them have fun.

617
00:54:29,606 --> 00:54:31,597
Cor, look at all this!

618
00:54:56,086 --> 00:54:58,759
Make way, get out of there!

619
00:54:59,726 --> 00:55:01,557
Come down the steps.

620
00:55:16,566 --> 00:55:19,126
<i>

621
00:55:21,446 --> 00:55:24,961
<i>

622
00:55:25,966 --> 00:55:28,116
Can we turn this down a bit?

623
00:55:36,806 --> 00:55:40,879
What were they going to do?
Just keep her locked up there?

624
00:55:41,046 --> 00:55:46,120
Or work on her mind. Couple of years,
bit of brain washing, she'd be one of them.

625
00:55:46,286 --> 00:55:48,117
Wouldn't be the first time.

626
00:55:48,286 --> 00:55:50,402
Anyway, thanks.

627
00:55:50,566 --> 00:55:55,594
Again. L'll talk to Barry about cutting you in
on this book when it's done.

628
00:55:55,766 --> 00:55:58,838
- What for?
- L don't expect your help for nothing.

629
00:56:00,646 --> 00:56:02,318
Fair enough.

630
00:56:05,126 --> 00:56:08,516
You'd take it as well,
you penny-pinching bastard!

631
00:56:08,686 --> 00:56:11,962
Do you know what I make from all this?
Not very much...

632
00:56:12,126 --> 00:56:15,880
compared with some people,
say a prostitute or something!

633
00:56:16,046 --> 00:56:19,083
But I'd rather do what I believe in!
In my opinion,

634
00:56:19,246 --> 00:56:23,842
I think casual sex is a sign of
a shallow personality, but there we are!

635
00:56:25,766 --> 00:56:27,802
Have you been sucking a frog?

636
00:56:28,926 --> 00:56:30,996
L beg your pardon?!

637
00:56:31,166 --> 00:56:35,762
<i>
so why don't you leave me alonel

638
00:56:48,766 --> 00:56:51,724
You'd better hurry
or you won't miss your train.

639
00:56:51,886 --> 00:56:54,958
What sort of gibberish is that?!

640
00:56:55,126 --> 00:56:58,641
Jonathan, stop being clever! For once!

641
00:56:58,806 --> 00:57:00,159
Just go!

642
00:57:02,806 --> 00:57:07,675
L get it. That call you made to Sheena
just before we got in the car.

643
00:57:07,846 --> 00:57:12,317
She said she spent last night at my place
and now you've got the hump.

644
00:57:12,486 --> 00:57:16,081
- Who's got the hump?!
- Because you think we slept together.

645
00:57:17,286 --> 00:57:22,519
Jonathan, whether or not
you and Sheena slept together

646
00:57:22,686 --> 00:57:25,246
is your business and her business.

647
00:57:25,406 --> 00:57:28,159
It's certainly none of my business.

648
00:57:28,326 --> 00:57:31,682
Quite frankly, I have no desire
to even discuss it.

649
00:57:31,846 --> 00:57:35,805
So if I said I'd rather poke needles
down my nails than poke...

650
00:57:35,966 --> 00:57:39,402
It would be a matter
of no consequence to me whatsoever.

651
00:57:39,566 --> 00:57:46,165
In fact, I find that extremely offensive
and highly insulting to my best friend!

652
00:57:47,046 --> 00:57:48,559
Right.

653
00:57:48,726 --> 00:57:51,194
L'll see you around, then.

654
00:57:51,366 --> 00:57:52,685
Yes!

655
00:57:55,286 --> 00:58:00,963

on his best friend if he put her down</i>

656

657
00:58:06,406 --> 00:58:09,523

YES!
