Saturday night theater. the Spanish package by James
funded with Irina, Sutcliffe, has Jane, and Michael Harbor is
Peter The Spanish package. Down the steps and was halfway
across the road. When the grave Volkswagen seem
to appear from nowhere, its way up towards Claire, hit her, and
drove off. I didn't get.
It's number because it's lights were, right.
It's a pretty free translation back into English wheel
statement of the Guardia. Now, them Jane, your statement
reads. We were watching the football
match on the Cars, TV, when dragon Thanks for coming out so
quickly island called consulate parties.
It was boring. Anyway, it's as well to know
what you're being asked to sign. I'm terribly.
Sorry about what's happened tonight.
I can't express those the ground in the municipal police are
looking for him. I've set up checkpoints or and
Alicante. Look, would you like me to drive
you back to Cal Poly? I can easily get a taxi back
here. Well we don't want to put the
consulate out. I do it as a friend.
It's kind of you will manage this.
Something the Guardia are worried about.
I told abogado, I try to carry that with you.
Claire's passport. Now, you've been retired and
living in Spain for 17 years now.
What's wrong? Tears come out to see you each
for the past seven years. Except last year, I remember how
disappointed you are. When she said that she couldn't
come, she always looks a one-week package holiday in
Benidorm and then stays with us instead of at a hotel that tell
us, with her passport, except for today, know what are you
driving at? She definitely said that.
She'd be flying into Alicante on one of today is flat.
We saw her leave the terminal. Can you remember the name of the
tour operator? Well, Why didn't you go into the
terminal 2? M.
She said not to in her last left.
Her that there was a chance of light would believe.
What the hell's all this? Got to do with Claire being
killed by Maniac, hit-and-run driver, and try to Alicante.
And today's date is not stamped and Claire's passport.
So, what we 300 people, swarming of a DC-10 heater as you, well
know. Every visitor is channeled
passed the immigration desk and they all have their passports,
stamped by the checked in Everything I went through it,
Page by page with abogado. Can't blame us for their mistake
and they certainly can't blame Claire.
These are the passenger lists for all.
Today's flights from the UK in to Alicante.
Claire's name doesn't appear anywhere.
The Guardia civil want to know how she got into the country and
why. That means that I don't want to
be bothered with your employee discipline problems.
I don't care but that's entirely a matter for the client and
yourself. Yes, yes.
Let me have a progress report next week after seven years
running, a shipping and forwarding agencies still tries
to unload responsibilities under me.
I'd like to talk conversation or argument that care argument.
We should return home to settle her Affairs.
That sort of Affairs will settle themselves by her absence of
being callous, not practical. She was 29.
I'm no intention of traveling back to London, just to settle
an unpaid North Sea, gas for your own daughter.
When during school holidays, from that frightful boarding
school while I was living in, London, building up the agency.
I can hardly remember having a daughter as bright as you can.
He will always Keen enough to pack her off to summer camp.
When there was the slightest danger of having around your
neck for more than one week at a time.
I don't suppose you've noticed. I've been crying.
It's all right. So you're feeling a bit guilty.
So am I But it's not going to do any good, is it?
I don't see how you can accuse me.
You weren't much of a father. I'm not accusing you of
anything. I wanted a Smart Wi-Fi, didn't
want someone chained to a kitchen.
Remember, what you said when she was born, right?
And you made am certain there wouldn't be any more.
As usual, managed to put everything into an uncomfortable
nutshell in your inimitable blunt.
Hash, it's not just the attitudes change, as you get
older. What are we going to do about?
A body that's more like my chain down to practicality.
Stop trying to make me lose my temper.
Sorry. Well, well have the funeral here
in Carpe? I thought, perhaps, we ought to
have a shipped home while you're off again.
Peter, Claire will be 16 next year, don't you think three
years in Switzerland? See if you can't Hello Alan.
Help yourself to a drink. Thanks morning Alan.
You came in time to prevent a major battle developing.
All part of the training, the consulate, giving you the day
off as I or something. Needed that.
Stay for lunch, save me, having to invite myself.
I go bathing topless down there, French the Guardia.
I've given up their Beach. Patrols.
They haven't found the driver that VW.
We didn't really expect them to a peek through your telescope.
Help yourself. There's two of them.
What to expect if she's topless two girls, Hmm.
The Guardia cleared up the mystery of how Claire got into
the country. She drove from the have crossed.
The frontier of the Cody Potter. Leave one of the least-used
routes across the pyridine popped a car in the car park in
front of Alicante airport. The day before she was due to
meet you. That's impossible because she
can't drive and she hasn't got a car looks like she was keeping
it as a surprise. I drove it here.
Nine month, old Mini all the extras to 8-track stereo tin.
Is it glass? Sunshine roof come.
And have a look. If you don't believe me.
There she is less than 7,000 on the clock and the Thousand of
that used to get here. Smarter look there must be a
mistake Alan we saw her leave the arrivals terminal no mistake
and she kept all the cars papers in the glove compartment.
Look My book in class name, green card is and had Townsend.
Thoresen Southampton Drive car ferry ticket.
Let the mayor. See that ticket.
Please seems like glad something to hide.
She landed at long, four days before we saw Regina County and
I return Crossing is for four days after we were supposed to
run it back to the airport. Well, surprise Mo Dr. De la.
The why we why should she go to all that trouble of pretending
to arrive by air? I'll tell Maria to serve lunch
by the pool, but will you help me with the sunshade please?
Peter I have a theory. I've no no more things.
She's only been driving a year right?
She's got a new car wants to drive to Spain, but doesn't want
to worry you because she's not an experienced driver.
So she drives to Alicante airport Parks the car.
And emerges from the arrivals terminal at the time.
She's arranged for you to meet her mother very much.
If Kerr would worry about us being worried.
I doubt if we would worry. Anyway, I really thought you
were a close-knit family. I would worry.
You wouldn't mind, he would like yourself and everyone else to
think that you'd worry. She's back.
Can I use telescope again? You don't know how I feel.
I don't have to export the mini back to the UK, If you don't
want to be clobbered for Spanish taxes on anything, not even Alum
is honest. He pretends he wants the
telescope to Ogle girls on the beach and he's got it trained on
those two men standing by that parked car.
One of them looks surprised. Well it must be a shock to watch
someone threw a pair of high-powered binoculars only to
discover that he's staring right back with an even more powerful
telescope. One of the hazards of being in
the Diplomatic service. Hmm.
I was wondering why Claire didn't visit you last year, she
said that she couldn't afford the fare, I didn't know that.
Well she wrote, I don't remember the letter, he was opposed car.
I'd have sent her money. Well that's why I didn't show it
to you. If Claire really wanted to see
us last year. She would have made the effort a
one-week package. Isn't that expensive?
What the hell's that got to do with it?
You know. I always look forward to her
visit just ignore me. If you do want to set to, you
know how disappointed I was when she said she couldn't come.
Now you could have written to her, don't go take it out on me
just because you're a lousy letter writer sweetheart.
The real with the dishes. No, I can manage.
Thank you. Sorry about that, Alan more
wine. We don't usually go for each
other. All the time lately, I dented my
image of you to blissfully sharing the Autumn of your years
together. Trouble is that we didn't share
our lives with Claire. Now, that she's gone, we both
feel guilty because we're not eaten up with grief and remorse.
I'm much to blame, really. I've always thought that Claire
should stand on our own feet, tied her own way in the world
and as you had. Yeah.
Tough on a girl. Hot.
See you as the heavy father, I wasn't any sort of father.
Now I enjoy driving that many. I first car was a mini at my
first love was in one. We've suffered in the sixties or
a beating about one of your bushes.
The starter was a bit sluggish but I expect that's because it's
been standing so long in the car park at the drive from Alicante,
should have kept the battery up. You're being evasive, It's about
Claire. Something, the police find out.
but I'm not really supposed to tell you, but I think it was in
it. Jane, are you asleep?
No. I'm sorry, doesn't matter.
Alan told me something about Claire, but did you hear?
It sounds like someone downstairs.
I can't be a resident mother's tonight.
It's coming from the garage, that's what I thought.
Can you see anything? There's someone down there or
benign, Peter your to call the police.
Don't you try checking it by yourself or with?
Oh, you must be Peter. Please go into the girls from
the laundry room and jumping when he breaks in.
You call the police and have the advantage of surprise, he might
have the advantage of a crowbar. Get back into the laundry room.
Go on do as I say. Come on my friend.
Not release the bar and said now pull the door open. now then,
Peter. Six stitches, but no concussion.
A surgeon thought he was tough for his age.
How long are they keeping him in for until tomorrow?
There was blood everywhere, but it wasn't as bad as it looked, I
thought he was dead. I don't mean to sound
unsympathetic but let's hope it's not some sense into him.
Didn't it occur to either of you, but if you must tackle a
burglar at night to at least China torch in his eyes before
trying to clobber, him doesn't happen, often enough for a strip
affect the technique. Were you serious about being
followed yesterday? The two men who were following
the where maybe they were interested in the mini?
And not you, of course, they're interested in me.
I'm an embassy official makes me Fascinate to whom I'm not sure
any, what was it? You tell Peter that pair
yesterday. Wasn't Peter told you he was
interrupted by our visitor, right?
I think it's something you should hear from Peter,
something to do with the other counted graduate civil in a way,
but I really do think it's Peter or I want to know now.
Pleaser. Is he was going to tell you
anyway. In hit-and-run cases like
Claire's the police could have pathologist to carry out a
careful examination, to determine the cause of death.
I saw the report lying on the Bogardus desk, it was very
detailed back and read Spanish upside down.
It said that Clare appear to have had a baby during the past
12 months. I see him, I told you.
Now. Well, I suppose that explains
why she didn't come to see us. Last year, should be shocked.
I'd like you to go now Island. I'd like to think what's up
because your visitor turns out again, I'll flash a torch in his
eyes now, pizza. And I'd be very grateful if you
went, I want to think Jane, will you, please stop fussing.
I'm all right. If I'm left alone, your pills
chew each day for a week drink. At least they're not supposed
trees. The hospital's at home could
have there waiting lists for beds if they introduce them
introduced. That serves me right for
laughing at man jokes is that what you call them?
Do you suppose that character down on the beach?
Is the one who cracked me over their head.
You see him? He's got a pair of binoculars
hidden under his newspaper. A British newspaper now, his
friends join him. Good mind to take a stroll down
there and have it out with them. You're not strolling anywhere.
I want you on your feet as soon as possible.
I thought you liked having me a mobile so that you won't be too
much of a nuisance to Maria. I'm going home for a few days.
No, no, don't look so horrified but you can't, you'll be all
right for a few days. Maria will look after you.
This is your revert to pilers and olive oil in the salad.
As soon as you Baxter I've made up my mind.
Look love, Claire. Probably had the kid adopted,
you don't know, and I won't find.
Here, I knew from your purposeful are that you come to
a momentous decision of some sort of thought it was the new
colors for the bedrooms. I'm serious.
And which means it's going to take longer than usual to talk
you out of it. You won't because you've booked
a flight. Well, how do you expect to get
home driving writing or get as many that's got to be exported.
Anyway, I'll allow your minutes. Grumbling and then the subjects
closed. You have to book weeks in
advance to get on the Bilbao or Santander car ferries in August.
I'm not going that Bilbao or sent and are in San Sebastian.
You're crazy driving right up through France.
Its 1100 mile 1066, as allow myself three days and I won't
allow it at all. French roads are full of French
motorists. I've been worried sick ever
since cared. I do, I kept thinking, if only,
I could have another chance to start from the beginning again
of stupid, I know. Well, now there is the
possibility of a fresh start with her child, her grandson or
daughter. Don't think I don't understand
how you feel love, but you can't turn back the clock.
No matter how much you may want. There's a chance.
Not, if she's had it adopted, have you thought of that?
We don't know that she has do me for all.
We know the baby might be in care with someone who's wanted
out of a mine because Claire hasn't returned, I'll call you
each evening on the drive back. When I find a hotel tonight What
will you do with the mini? Once you get back, take it back
to the garage that supplied, it, the names on the tax disc older
Charles, Whitman, Motors of balam.
No, I'm not going to let you drive through France.
Allah won't be able to stop me. Well, there's something else I
want to find out about Claire's written to telephone numbers.
On the back of I Theta to get one for angoulême in central
France. And one for the half, I want to
know what those numbers meant to care.
I'm not going to stop you either.
I'm coming with you. Oh Pete.
I was hoping you would. We'll go as soon as the doctor
says it's alright. You know, driving across your
opinion me. Bring back your forgotten.
Youth never bring back my forgotten sciatica.
Come on car. Reminding this upholstered
roller skate of the noise? It's supposed to make.
When did it start 10/10? You put the battery on charge
last night. Yes, I put the battery
Entourage. Last England.
Here we come. You drive much too fast?
Making up for your crawling when it's your turn.
You keep your eyes open for the west coast signposts and forget
the speed. If the good Lord had meant minis
to do. This speed of giving them bigger
wheels and mirin back of your sun visor.
Yes. Why see the white escort two
cars bath British registration. What about it?
He's been following us since the lens here.
Maybe he was following as before when you were driving.
Why? I shouldn't be fun of us.
This is one of the main routes out of Spain, from the cost of
Blanco and the Costa Del Sol. And I slow down he slows down.
When do you slow down? Also give him overtaking
opportunities, which he hasn't taken.
Probably prefers to keep you in front where he can keep a wary
eye on you. Do we need some gasoline?
Pull into that Filling Station? See, if he passes.
See Tangos your imagination. This hotel can get from
television as a film on in the lounge, which is opening a few
Spanish Eyes. What's your reading glasses
during guide? What pass across the Pyrenees,
do we use tomorrow? Some poor or portal a, which is
the least hair. Raising some pause because it's
lower. The road is wider.
Totally the past pair use looks like it--she's underlined it the
to pass is a virtual aside the sides.
Why did you choose the more difficult Parts?
They're both over 5,000 feet love.
Who says here that some poor is the old well established route.
Claire would know that wish you'd stop kidding yourself that
you had some sort of mother-daughter bond with Claire
that enables you to guess what she did.
Who's that man? Out there showing an interest in
the mini is also something. I'm inventing what?
Moving off. Don't you think it might be a
good idea to hire? One of the hotels lock up
garages for the night? I think we should stop at the
next gas, Raj. And by what you have any idea,
what? New batteries cost in France.
Anyway, it's okay. When the engines warmed up, not
as if we can't afford it, it always was a mean streak in you
of thrift District, it's enabled.
You to enjoy a good life and it will be an own goal.
Am in about half an hour, we'll have lunch there.
See if we can trace the address of that.
Telephone number white escorts, back on our tail, I expect that
I could do with the break as well.
Where you going to ask for? Leave it to me.
Hello. I would like to speak to Jean
Paul. Please.
That's right. It's Jean-Paul.
He doesn't live there, but he must that the operator gave me
your number. Well could I have your address
please? So she can check, thank you.
Avenue de Laura, thank you very much.
I'm sorry to have troubled. You Coming.
She sounded English. 59 Avenue de Laura.
Come on. Look at this baby.
You can get into trouble peering into prom, well babies all.
Look the same to me. Were you the lady who spoke to
me in English, on the phone? Just now, I am English.
Were you the one with the wrong number?
Yes, that was me. I was wondering if you looking
in my pram, I'm afraid my wife is Keen on babies.
Yeah, I just look at him, please.
Where Claire Hilton's parents. Who we think you knew our
daughter. She's written your phone right
now. She's mentioned you to anyone of
that name, but surely, mrs. My name is Julian, I don't know
what you're talking. And I've never heard of, hey, I
only wanted to look at him as the adoption or have been
granted yet. You're not to touch him, I'll
get my husband to call the police if you don't put him down
chain for Christ's sake. I'm all the stupid irresponsible
things to do. My God, we're lucky not to be in
prison, honey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to get all the way to
my blood run cold to think. What might have happened if
you'd put a stunt like that in space were, don't keep saying
that looking on about it. We are in luck, they had a
cancellation, we can have, what they call a sleeper at on the
11:00 p.m. sailing gets into Southampton at 7:00 tomorrow
morning. We got four hours to kill.
What do we do? Explore love raspberries.
Is there anything special you'd like to do yes, like, to try
that phone number on a ticket. Oh, no.
Please stand to give us a lead. A lead into prison.
Sorry, not even if you went down on your bending.
Unobtainable signal. Try again, looking for numbers
unobtainable five times. It's not going to be obtainable
the sixth. No, I suppose not.
They certainly know how to pack em in.
Is your door locked in the car and drive off at Southampton?
I think there are doors. Those ends you better get
anything. You'll need overnight out of the
car. Now, Still following us.
Any I can face this breakfast, Southampton Waters changed the
size of that oil. Refinery.
Now concerned about the size of this meal, probably dish
breakfast and have to start getting used to them for a
while, doesn't it? Give you a warm feeling inside
seeing England again after seven years, please don't discuss my
insides not on a boat. Good morning, ladies and
gentlemen, we will be docking in Southampton.
The in 15 minutes passengers are requested to rejoin their
vehicles on the car deck. We hope you had a pleasant and
comfortable Channel. Cross got to be joking.
I thought it was quite smooth. I hadn't.
We better make a move, no hurry. He won't take 15 minutes to get
down to the car, deck and shove a nothing to declare sticker on
the windscreen. He'll Force, the lock lever.
See tripped over? I mean, just look at him.
The door Linings. We're going to do.
Driving like this. Well, have to Richie thing will
stop. Thank you sis.
Would you about to step out of your car a minute?
Please. Look, we've had some trouble on
the boat. We're supposed to be seeing the
police. Yes, sir.
The person has been in touch with us and the police are on
their way if you'd kindly doing. Nothing to declare.
I've got one of your little stickers off.
See nothing to declare. It's mr.
And mrs. Hilton isn't, it will have to
confess. They know all about.
Yes, officer. You must excuse?
My husband. Someone has told this car apart
looking for something where they They manage suppose they were
trying to find out how it worked.
They were professionals. So do we see now if you'd kindly
step out will start at the back and work our way forward?
No wonder people are leaving the country in droves.
Our first visit home in seven years and we're treated like
criminals, they even yank, the air cleaner off the carburetor,
you know. That Customs officer said he
said, it wasn't their responsibility to put the car
back together again, after they pulled it apart.
We're taking this car straight to Charles Whitman Motors of
balance and there's something you should know what you're
driving on the wrong side of the road.
All I want to know mr. Witten as if you're take it back
and settle up with the HP company in a stay in it.
Yes. It's in a state custom.
Still not entirely, but it's nothing that new seats.
And trim, panels won't put right now that a bat is that it is
very likely. New seats.
You do a lot, you lining? I look, I don't want to catalog.
What will you offer? My sympathy?
Thanks 1600, top whack. As much as that.
I'll be willing to drop a bit, but I bought a used car guide
your offering more than I thought.
I'd get the extra self, if you like park it over there, I'm
coming to the officer. Wait a minute, we need the car
for a few days. For getting a buyer, no car.
No deal. I can I clean little Datsun?
Look, I've only just got used to this one.
I don't want to have to cope with a new car and remember to
drive on the left and we only need it for a few days.
Okay. Manage those seats.
Why should I care? Honey!
Don't go wasting your money on you one so I can get that group
placements at the right kind of. The intention of spending a cent
on the car. My only concern is if the money
you'll pay for, it will cover my daughter's HP dead.
He paid cash. There's no ice be day.
He walked into my office with 2G and 20s.
That's what the carcross by Tom is loaded with bolt on extra
2,000 cash common. These days people dropping out
the tax system v8t, cash discounts, that sort of thing.
Illegal, of course, I don't do it now, I was running a special
promotion scheme. In January, are 4 million
trading stamps, your daughter sent me back.
It's me, Charlie Whitten. Listen, I don't you crown jewels
bloody minis turned up and eat. Course.
I'm flagging. Sure, just be sitting at my now.
How could I do that with a girl's?
Father, right beside me? Yes, he's in the country.
No, I couldn't. I need this mother while he's in
London. He said, but there's nothing to
worry about. I've made him an offer.
He can't refuse. It's still there because I know
it's still there. No.
No, that's not part of the deal. What's not my fault?
The bloody car didn't turn up, is it always like you said, so I
thought a new deal I know where the packages but I don't know
what's in it. You know what's in it but you
don't know where it is. Now I thought say 5000 to pull
our knowledge. This is it flat 6 mrs.
C read, caretaker. I knew I was taking care of Mrs.
Reed. Yeah, we had run mr.
Mrs. Hilton, appearance of care Hilton was renting a flat in
this block. She was cured in Spain in a road
accident. While she was visiting us, we
come to settle her Affairs. We've got all her papers.
Well, you want to see the flag, please?
We've got a keys. If we could go up, I have to
come with you. Well, it's no wonder it won't
turn. Look the locks been forced.
It's loose if I give the door, a good shove, can't do you have
the feeling I have Peter. Yes, stand back.
So else wanted if I catch a look at the man, you know, who did
it? I know, right kids kids.
What's got nothing better to do than go telling other people's
fat side down on their way have to call through?
Yeah, not just yet, please. Mrs. Reed.
We'd be grateful if you'd let us have a look round.
First, not do that. I mean, nothing.
Nothing. Well, that's your call them
later. You think it'll be all right, is
that the kitchen through there hadn't?
You better check to see if anything's missing.
I'll put a video which I'd known.
She was living in a place like this.
Oh you would have tried to ship her somewhere else and she would
have resented it. Whoever turned this flat over,
they weren't just bored kids. Looking for kicks.
How'd you know all the drawers in that chest to open?
That means the drawers were searched starting from the
bottom so you don't have a grows them.
When you finished all good, villains are time and motion
study experts. How did you know that I must
have read it somewhere? What was she mixed up in?
It's becoming one long nightmare.
I'm beginning to wish we are not giving up now, we'll find her
baby and her killer. We don't know that that was
still here, but it's beginning to look like it, isn't, it rises
even told the panel the side of the bar.
Did you see much of Miss Hilton? I'm not allowed to discuss.
What's your friends with any of our neighbors?
It's all kinda. And I'm writing, was it one who
lives there. He's worried.
Well, I left of water house when they had a baby aren't suitable
for babies. These flats or adults.
Did this is mr. And mrs.
Marie leave a forwarding address please.
It's very important. I've got it downstairs while
Teresa police now who makes the rules who owns or administers
this block of flats, the people who pay your wages On the
Border. So why not of the estate
managers? Well that depends on whether or
not she want the baby register with the doctor if he's not
already done one, Claire didn't have transport last year.
So the chances are her name is with one in walking distance.
We buy street map. Go through Yellow Pages and
phone every nearby doctor why pick on the doctor because he or
she might know what happened to the baby if she ever had it
first thing in the morning. I'll search for a doctor.
Oh and you can visit the estate managers of that disgusting
broccoflower. Come in mrs.
Hilton. I'm sorry to have kept you
waiting but patients come first. Yes.
I understand. It's very kind of you to see me
dr. Ryan have a seat.
Thank you. So you're Carrie Hilton's
mother. Yes she hasn't been seen in some
time. How is she?
She was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Spain when she was
visiting us earlier this month. I'm extremely sorry to hear
that. Very sorry.
I expect, you know, why? I've come to see.
I think I can guess, but I'd prefer it if you told me.
She told me about the baby. A little girl.
Yes, I don't think she did mrs. Elton.
How did you find out? She took.
She once said to me that, she never wanted you or her father
to find out. I didn't mean to hurt you but
she was adamant. It was a boy, not a girl.
He'll be a year old now. What happened to him?
I'm sorry, it's my grandson. Yes, of course.
I appreciate that. But Claire's wishes.
Aren't you supposed to be concerned for the living doctor?
We can offer the child, a good home, a first-class education.
Certain, I am sorry to have to say this, but Claire wanted you
to have nothing to do with her son.
She desperately wanted to keep him but couldn't afford it.
I suggested that she write to you for help, but she said that
she Rather see the baby adopted. And that is exactly what
happened. I'm sorry.
Really I am. But was it arranged through an
adoption Society? Yes.
And that's all I'm prepared to tell you, mrs.
Elton. If I can help in any other way,
thank you for helping the doctor.
I won't take up any more of your time.
It's good of you to inform us. Mr. Hilton.
Yes. Here we are.
Number 17. No, everything is paid up.
No outstanding commitments. Now, that's strange.
You said your daughter was attending?
Yeah. Not according to this agreement
or she was living there the world being what it is.
It doesn't always follow that. The registered tenant is the
occupier, especially when the occupier happens to be a young
woman's and who, Is the tenant? We don't know, it's your block
of flats mr. Marsh.
Yes, but in the case of number 17, the tenant whoever he is has
given power of attorney to a thumb of Western solicitors.
They pay the rent and rates and other charges their senior
partner was the one who signed the lease on behalf of their
client. Can you tell me their name?
They weren't help that particular poem have a
reputation for shall we say keeping their cards close to
their chairs. Craven Brooke Heritage and
Flinders their Fame has traveled.
I remember them from the days when I was in business
surprised, they're not all in prison.
Thanks for your help, mr. Mom.
That's extraordinary. Can't even tell you the name of
the solicitors and which is much the same attitude I got from her
doctor. Okay, I wanted us to help her
with money so she could keep the child, but he was, we did have
it adopted, she wanted us to help, but why didn't she tell us
instead of letting a doctor? Talk her out of it.
No. Is it a very persuasive, man?
I got the impression that care actually wanted us to look after
the child in Spain, and he talked her out of that.
So it seemed drunk cheek. So if it hadn't been for him,
Claire would have told us all about it.
Yes. And he refused to give you the
name of the adoption society as person.
Yes. I want to go see, Maurice.
Can you manage without me for the rest of the day?
Yes, I suppose. So I could go and see the people
who used to be in the flat next eclairs.
I never seemed office suite, Morris the photos.
You brought out last Easter. Don't do it.
Justice. And as I said in my last report,
they're already too small. If we're to go ahead with a new
computer where you wait till I give you the okay, Peter.
It's the one thing we're going to need.
If we have any hope of expanding on existing Manpower, how about
all four cars lined up if you would have, you know, another
time - I got a lot on my plate at the moment about clear.
That was a terrible blow up. He say, I was really upset when
I got your message. If there's anything I can do,
cast your mind back, seven years.
Just before I retired, we had a messenger who got into trouble
with the police over something or other Ozzy.
Taylor what happened to him last?
I heard he was running a smutty Bookshop in first read, I'm not
thinking of taking him out again, are you?
He was nothing more than a small-time, crook.
Thanks Morris a mustache. I'll give you a call to fix up a
lunch to discuss that computer. look, Mister if you want the
magazine, it's five quid, but you can't go and wrapping it in
here and I was he Remember me. Hey wish mr.
Rudin. Well this is a turn up coming
coming. I thought you'd gone off to the
sunshine. All just back for a quick visit.
Look up some old friends. Have you been keeping you old?
Rogue you shut up the shop so we can have a drink.
I don't want you losing business on my condos.
I was going to shut up for a by anyway.
Do you mind it in a cup? Miss do anything?
That'll hold it does he know how Feelings.
I also do a cool shot. Mr. Elton nice little business.
Like, yours. I mean, you didn't have no
choice. No, it's not so little.
Now as he I'm glad you're doing well mr.
Elton, I reckon you deserve it. So now, you know what?
It's like running your own business.
Well, it's a, it's running me mr.
Up. 50 yards a day. I'm gonna hell.
Do you keep the police out of your small back room?
There isn't. Well, all that's changed now.
All my stocks on. The shelves, she and Max wrapped
in. Cellophane are the innocent one?
Everyone thinks that they're worse than the ones on open
display who you won't believe. My turn over like a flat weekly
payment, my stock renewed, each day, my throat slit.
If I put my hands in the till and investment lawyers in town
is the police put the red valid or Craven Brooke Heritage and
Flinders are still going strong. It would your friends subject to
you're doing a little job for me so long as you don't clash with
their interest. Mr. Elton It's nothing
difficult. A little bit Nar, Z seen
breaking and enterings. Definitely illegal mr.
Elton the nice thing about pushing this stuff is that the
judges and lawyers can't make up their minds about it but I don't
want you to steal anything the or leave any trace of your visit
a doctors surgery in Southwest 11.
A photograph of all the documents in a patient's file.
Private visits to the doctor come expensive.
How about two and a half free? Okay.
The patient is Claire, Hilton. I'll write the address down any
relation, mr. Oh, my daughter.
She's been murdered as a sorry to hear that mr.
One who's going to be really? Sorry, as the one who did it,
you are near to him getting nearer all the time.
Mostly That's the address. Come on stupid, bloody car down.
Come on, come on, don't start on me.
They are so try that, that's great.
Now, what did I tell you? U.s. battery nothing.
Wrong with a starter motor. Well, be 20 quid and with the
car's still under guarantee with you.
Well, you'll have to see mr. Witten about that but he's not
coming today as funny though. Usually phones me if he's not
turning up. Do you remember this car being
supplied nice-looking bird? She was up at the sunshine roof
in and did the loading loading. Yeah, putting all the goodies
like It's funny. I mr.
Witten did the pre-delivery check himself?
He took a personal interest in this sale.
What does the check involved? Are the usual track alignment
wheel balancing break setting tire pressures, all that sort of
thing. Even work late on it by himself
in a workshop. How did you know, It, can you
let me have Mister witten's private address, please?
The mean is pulled up outside. You can park in the next street
or something. Mr. Hilton likes to create an
air of innocence is coming up The Path.
Strike around the back. Let's for the benefit of anyone
who's watching. He's certainly trying to impress
someone Stanley. That doesn't make sense.
You repeat the performance of the back door before he breaks
in. He's predictable.
All the way across Spain and France.
He was predictable, wasn't he? Now he'll break the glass
Stanley. Predictable.
When it's be the Hilton. Very high the door.
He's going into the back room, naturally.
Come on. We're done.
I wouldn't watch the matter. Wake up.
Come on with me. What's the matter?
He did mr. Hilton.
That's what's the matter. Who the hell are you a
detective? Inspector Boyd.
This is detective. Sergeant Reese.
Show him your warrant card Stanley.
Witten's dead. Why don't understand heart
attack? Well then what are used to buy
electric? Shocks to his neck, his mouth
and his murder. What?
If it's not then it's the worst case of suicide I've ever come
across. You really blew it.
Didn't you blue what the fuse is z?
No lights. Look, I don't know what you're
talking about. In that case, it's a good job.
I do. I'd like you to come with us
please. Mr. Hilton.
Why because we've been waiting here three hours for you to show
up and we're both dying for a drink.
I don't have to go anywhere with you.
If I don't want to know him the honors Stanley, Peter Lewis,
Hilton, your been arrested in connection with the murder of
Charles Whitman proprietor of Charles Whitman Motors between
10:00 p.m. last night and 3 a.m. this morning.
You wish to say anything. You're not obliged to say
anything unless you wish to do so.
But anything you do say, will be Barney over there, coming on.
So we had to leave the flat and I had to give up my job.
Did you know that Claire wasn't renting the flat in her own
name? Mrs. Marie oh, please call me
Angie Angie. Yes, I did know how she used to
come in for a chat when she was feeling lonely.
She was quite a friendly, girl. Really, did you tell her who was
paying for the flat? No, we never asked.
Excuse me a minute, he likes. Full-time attention.
Don't you use it? Build a I can't do it.
Can I hold him? I'm not just for a minute.
Yes, that's what everyone says. You know, the pair had a baby
in. This is Marie.
Yes, over a year ago now. And do you know what happened to
the child? No, but she had adopted.
Surely she told you that. Oh, yes, that's right.
If she wanted to keep it but she couldn't afford it.
If only she'd written to me while I remember her saying, she
didn't want you to find out as he sorry, it doesn't matter and
you, you don't know who was paying her rent.
No, but I saw him several times. If it was him who I never knew
what his name was, That's it. I've used to come round in the
Jag. Clear, used to hide from him and
now flat while she was expecting what did he look like?
Very tall and dark wavy hair and if she'd written Would you like
another cup of tea? Did she have any other friends
only ass? And she never said, who the
father was? No, I didn't like to ask.
She wasn't the sort of girl, you could talk to easily, you got
the feeling, she liked being with us.
Not to talk or anything like that, but because she wanted to
feel part of the family, it when she did talk about, when she was
a kid, it was always about her, school's, never about home or
she was She was lucky to have been disseminating nice school,
that France, Switzerland. You know, the name of the
adoption Society, she went to know Must have been a terrible
shock for you. Seeing her run over like that.
Yes, we We would have sent flowers, if we'd known.
It seems to have fallen asleep. That's you better take him now.
Yes, there you go. And get a meal on for Roar.
Yeah, he'll be home soon. You've been very helpful and you
thank you very much. Bye.
Bye Barney. He's very sweet, isn't he?
Yes, that's what everyone says. So it can I can I ring you with
that if I think of anything else.
Well, we're not on the phone. Oh well, bye then and thank you.
Bye. You hear that Barney?
She thought you looked like me. Oh God, it's all right, love
Peter, I'm back. Peter, where are you?
Peter. Reception please.
This is some. This is mrs.
Hilton room to 69. It has my husband left a message
for me, please. He hasn't.
That no, no, no, it's alright, thank you.
Still haven't told me why I should want to kill Charlie.
Whitten has five hundred reasons, which yielded, five
hundred carats and uncut diamonds that were lifted from
London Airport early this year. Charlie wouldn't hit them in
your daughter's mini before she took it out of the country.
He was one of the best in the business, wasn't he?
If you want something hidden: Charlie wit, look, I've no idea
what you're talking about. The only snag is that Charlie
has this rule about never disclosing his hiding places.
That's why I left the country on a private Charter flight from
short. So he'd be in Bordeaux for when
clear turned up. Except she didn't write me
certain. I want to talk to my sister.
What? Went wrong.
Mr. Hilton. I don't know what you're talking
about. I'm getting tired of repeating
myself, not as tired as you will be.
You talk in less than 20 hours, you.
Tell us how you visited the Charlie wouldn't last night.
How you tied him to a chair and tortured him into telling you
where on your daughter's car? He didn't.
But I'm not, I won't do what you want.
Tennis is about Charlie's Hot. Condition?
Because you didn't know about that, did you?
Otherwise you wouldn't have used electricity, but I want to talk
to my solicitor and you ever did it.
When you stuck the wires and these mouth Charlie dies on you,
and the fuses blew you panicked and cleared out as fast as you
could. I didn't even know Charlie when
you were seen talking to him. The other day.
I was selling my daughter's mini back to him.
His name's on the tax disc holder this morning, you'd calm
down a bit. You started thinking, You
thought that if you went back to his place and clear that up,
there was a chance of death would be put down to natural
causes, but you left it too late.
The woman is clean for him, find his body.
I've never been to his house before.
Until today, when you were already there you, you the few
that were blown mr. His new use the door knock it.
Instead of the Bell, how do you know?
I didn't press from Power first and then use the knocker.
It's a good point. What you did?
Yes. Now, can I call my solicitor?
Only only one snag. Charlie witten's front door
hasn't got a bell. That's a good sign, mr.
Hilton, you started lying. The sooner suspect starts lying.
The sooner we get to the truth. It must have been mapping having
to bring that car home yet knowing that you were within a
few feet of the stones all the time.
Well, to Heathrow experts are going to examine it tomorrow.
They've got some of the latest rapid X X-ray equipment.
They'll find that package even if it's hidden in the mini sub
frame. I don't know anything about a
package grow up, mr. Hilton, do you think we put your
name out of a hat Stanley recent?
I followed clear all the way from London to Alicante.
We saw her park the car. We saw your rose.
Turn up at the evening with you and your wife.
Your partner's, we even saw clear heat my neck VW.
You saw that. We saw everything.
Who was he? Thank you, Stanley for nice day.
Please tell me who it was. I sign anything.
And please tell me I know you. Wait outside standing.
If we knew was we tell you, it was a surprise for us.
I suppose. It was one of you two thugs who
broke into my garage and it Me over the head.
We can now better what happened? You tell me you were doing the
following not all the time. We didn't have to.
We planted a trace on the mini before.
Clear left for Southampton and you can radio transmitter
squawking away day and night with a range of 10 miles.
We've got it back now, running down a minis battery all the
time. I wouldn't know detective.
Sergeant Stanley Reese is the experts.
My that explains one thing I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter. So it was you two who followed
Jane and me back to England and not all the time.
Sometimes we drove in front of very good.
Bit amateur, ripping the manage seats, open like that.
Not guilty. We had a look at it here.
While you were having breakfast. Before the boat docked.
It was a rush job, but it wasn't a mature.
Now supposing, we get back to you answering my questions, not
until I've talked to my solicitor afterwards.
Now, I'm entitled to contact us at you're entitled to consult a
solicitor Hilton. Provided such consultation
doesn't interfere with the investigation or impede the
admin of Jesus why was to allow some of your bed, Barrister
friends, even on the action, the interfering and impeding would
be slightly colossal, mr. Boyd Looks like you're gonna
have to check him out. I am the daughter doors, turned
up a surprise a couple indulging themselves in a car park me of
Charlie buttons ass last night, saw a man leave it around. 1:30
you walked into the next street. I had a car starter, he drove
past the end of the road. If you can get the mic, but it
definitely wasn't a mini description.
Not much at all about 62, dark, wavy, or curly hair but not sure
smoking a cigar doesn't sound like sunshine, does it?
And something else. You're at Violet Creek with the
commander, Hilton's wipes, reported him as a missing
person. Okay?
Alright, mr. Hilton, you can go there.
You've helped us with our inquiries.
Now, you can go. Without an explanation that was
one as you think, we're hanging onto the mini for a bit, but I
needed will give you a receipt. I can't drive a receipt.
How do I get back to my hotel? At this time of night, fix him
up with a car to running home Stanley, right?
You'll be hearing from my solution is in the morning.
That's all right, mr. Hilton, if you want to sue me,
you'll have to stay in the country.
Save me having to take your passport away.
Oh mr. Hilton the wondering what
happened to you was. I is my wife in which is an
aroma, she didn't want it because it's too late for
something to eat. Well the hotel kitchens are
clothes that I might be able to get night Porter to be wraps and
sandwiches and coffee. Thanks, it sounds something up.
2269. I'm sorry mr.
Hilton, but the lifts are switched off after 1 p.m. it's
so expensive calling out an engineer after midnight, I think
you're wrong. I'm afraid you'll have to use
the stairs You're breaking my arm.
I will, if you don't tell us where the money is, who wants to
know? Where is it?
Come on, dog. Mini talking didn't do Charlie
Whitman. We've been waiting eight hours
in the hotel car park for you. Where is the Mini you'll laugh
when I tell you? We're all right, all right, I'll
tell you. and if you don't believe me, Got a receipt.
Jane, I'm back. Wake up.
Love Peter. Where the hell have you been?
You know what time it is for you were supposed to be back by
6:00. I'm sorry what happened.
Well I ran into Morris, we had a few drinks then a few more his
place. Well you know what Morris is
like really gets going. But it is sort of how you could
run. I'm sorry, I forgot.
I didn't Iran everyone. I could think of including
Morris. Let's talk it over in the
morning otherwise we're both start saying things will regret
later. Someone ran for you.
You didn't leave a message but he'd like you to call him.
His name is Ozzie. Ozzie.
Oh yes, you can. Wait.
Wake up. Praise Versailles him.
Up you get mr. Hilton, come on.
No the morning. Peter.
Detective inspector Boyd, detective Sergeant race.
Sorry to wake. You like this.
Mrs. Hilton de, but you didn't answer the phone.
Please wake up. Yes I heard.
What do you want now? We'll wait outside.
While you get dressed mr. Hilton I'm not in the mood for
hilarity. Where'd that mini isn't can't?
You see the funny side a car stolen from your own car park?
Where is it? Would you believe me?
If I said I didn't know. No.
Well then there's not much point in my telling you that I don't
know. I suppose I can always sue you
for losing. You love letter.
When you see the chargesheet preparing, it is giving Stanley
ratchet strap. We're He was conspiring to rob a
security firm, a five hundred carats of uncut diamonds and
working through to obstructing a police inquiry and wasting
police time. It's obvious, what's happened?
Witten told his killer or Killers where he'd hidden the
diamonds on the mini mean, and he told you if he told me, don't
you think I would have had the diamonds out of the car by now.
Why should I run the risk of taking the mini from your car
park? If I already have them, unless
you were covering your trips? Well, I haven't got your devious
mind. All the mini now.
And I certainly haven't got the diamonds.
I knew nothing about them. Until you told me.
Then why did your daughter take them out to you?
Its main. Well, if that had been the plan,
why did Charlie wouldn't fly to Borderland not Alicante.
If he was the only one who knew where they were hidden, you
could easily affect my scheduled flight from Gatwick to Alicante.
So I say you put your finger on one thing that doesn't fit for
Nothing fits. Depends on your point of view.
Doesn't it your daughter made a beeline for you?
How do you think we knew enough to know what she was up to in
the first place? I wouldn't know through that
bunch of courtroom Cowboys who call themselves solicitors
Craven, Brooke Heritage and Flinders we've been keeping tabs
on hold their clients. Well I thought they were a
reputable firm if you think I should remain reputable there
there's a bitch. Both cocks out with him.
Well, why are you telling me all this?
Aren't you worried that I'll go raising the alarm.
Once you're forced to, let me go again.
Oh, gives me an incentive to hang on, to you.
This time, you were the only one who knew where that many was
you'll be appearing in court tomorrow and will oppose Bayer.
If we lose out, we grab you on something else.
Outside the court. Easy there boy.
What Portsmouth. When?
What do you mean they can't start it?
But get the people in, you wanted God being perfectly
serious unto it and call me back immediately.
So the minis turned up in Portsmouth is Right an hour ago.
Can I go now or do you think it's possible for me to take the
car from your car park and drive it to Pompey.
Back in bed in time for you to pick me up?
Boy. Well, why the hell didn't you
tell me it was going in the first place?
Okay, I can't talk now, could it back so what's missing or you
realize? He will know what's missing.
I had no idea. Mr. Boyd, the battery that's
what's missing. The bloody battery battery,
I got a right to know what care was mixed up in.
You must tell me Peter, I don't know.
It was drugs, wasn't it? You read a lot about people
smuggling drugs into space. It was nothing to do with that.
I promise. And why the police been
harassing the Southampton police tipped off?
The Metropolitan Police about the rip seats in the minute,
they were curious. That's all I was hoping you'd
tell me the truth. That Sergeant told me why they
wanted you. They think you were involved in
the murder of that garage owner the night before last well, I
wasn't, they came to the same conclusion.
Peter, let's go home and you want to find the baby.
We won't find it. Now do you want to find it?
Yes but I'm frightened. What?
All You why doesn't matter? You wouldn't understand.
I've got a couple of visits to make her.
I won't be more than an hour where you were firstly to
Whitten Motors. If they're still in business to
hire a car, there's a taxi. I'll see you at the hotel in and
I Ha. Where's the mini sir?
Don't say that new batteries let you down and someone hit it
while it was parked. I'd like have you seen the
papers about mr. Witten.
No, unbelievable fight. And make sense, if it keeps
money in the house, everything goes in a bale of the minis are
right off. I'd like to buy that second hand
Volvo. I need it now, I don't know.
But can't you sell your stock? Wow.
Yeah, the bank's asked me to act as manager I was thinking about
clearing your check for page. Cash.
Can I take it now? But what about a test run?
I mean, you want to test run. Everyone has a test run of his
anything wrong with it. I'll bring it back.
All you got to do is peel all those stickers off the
windscreen, okay? If you're sure got obvious,
there was something else you have you still got the old
battery you took out of the mini this in the workshop.
Yeah, I'd like it back please. It's no good.
I checked it outputs 8 volts instead of 12 cut the dust
settles I reckon but it'll do for the See Lighting on my boat
in Spain. Batteries cost a fortune over
there. It I'm sorry.
I should have thought of it at the time.
Okay, I'll shove it in the Volvo's book for you.
What did you want to buy a? Let me have the problem with
selling it. Before we fly home will drive
home will take a week over getting back to bit of exploring
in France. Now, I've got to see someone on
business which end of Oxford Street.
You want me to drop you? I want to come with.
You have your be bored. I don't care suit yourself, but
you'll be sorry. It's okay.
I'll say Jane knows all about it about pop.
She thinks I'm going to buy some of your stock cars.
In half a dozen prints. Mr. Hamilton.
Well done, I was in trouble yet a straightforward alphabetical
filing system. Took me less than three minutes.
What are they just a minute? Love.
This is everything. Yes, mr.
Hilton everything. And what was all that about?
I see you took some pictures for me.
I gather that what all see if he self, it's a photograph of a
carbon copy, not very clear. But readable has docked.
That's right. Tim is see.
Gray Secretary of the home counties adoption Society.
I thought we'd pay her a visit Thank you, Sarah.
It's over the moon. Help yourself.
Thank you. What we would like to know, Miss
gray is what I'd like to know before we go.
Any further is how you found out that your daughter came to this
adoption Society. All our dealings with
unsupported mothers and adoptive parents are in the strictest.
Confidence told us, I find that hard to believe why Claire was
in this office sitting in that chair.
You're sitting in mrs. Hilton when she made it plain
that she didn't want you to know about.
A child in such cases. We do our best to persuade the
girl to tell her parents. We've had cases where the girls
wanted the baby back before the adoption or has been granted.
It causes a great deal of distress, all around Claire
changed her mind. And told us, didn't you Jane?
Yes. Can you tell us who has the
baby, please? No, why not Peter, please
normally, not even the mother knows who the baby goes to.
It's our responsibility to ensure it goes to a home where
they would be Loved and cared for.
And the mother's wishes regarding religious upbringing
will be respecting. How's the adoption order been
granted? Well, Peter I don't you keep
eyes this. How's the adoption order been
granted as Claire's dead? It's now a confidential matter
between us and the prospective adoptive parents perspective.
So, Claire haven't given her consent to the adoption order
going through. It's a confidential matter that
has nothing to do with you. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh.
The baby is our grandchild, understand how you feel.
But you must realize that the baby's been looked after by its
perspective parents for some months now they adored it, it's
in a marvelous home and they now regarded as there's, the court
would take all that into consideration.
They always put the interests of the child.
First, it's gone to such a marvelous home.
How is it? Claire happened at the adoption?
Go through, who said you hadn't? Oh, come on.
You were the one who started spouting about the courts and
what they were designed. I'd be grateful if you win.
No, in future. If you want to see me, I'd
appreciate it. If you would arrange an
appointment, there's this, your registered office.
My solicitors will want the correct address Peter.
Come on, Claire. Didn't take off to you, mr.
Hilton! She had a very pleasant manner.
I've never been so embarrassed in my life, but no idea, you
could behave like that. If you want something, you've
got to fight for it. Never know.
You'll be so rude. Which shows how little, you know
me? Do you think I got where I am by
letting people like her ride roughshod over me?
Don't know what to think. And is it here in the car?
All afternoon and the adoption Society office will be closing
soon as you're thinking of bagging it.
Oh, one of my business axioms has always been to get other
people to do mine, Dirty Work, death God.
And hang the owner of that Dreadful book, shop to break
into dr. Ryan surgery was a normal
business transaction for you. I've never paid anyone to do a
burger before. It's about everything else
though. So I respectable shipping and
forwarding agency is nothing more than a front for what
anything that makes money. Although oddly enough, the
genuine shipping and forwarding side of the business is always
shown a good profit. Not enough to enable us to
retire when we didn't for you to have anything you wanted though
drugs. So it's seven years since I was
running the business Morris comes out every three months.
Religious instructions. I suppose he takes the risks.
I take 51 percent. He doesn't complain.
I should have guessed, but you didn't.
As you comes, I'll do the talking and you keep quiet.
Sir. Sarah over here.
Sarah will give you a lift. How many down the end of the
road? We just want to talk to you a
minute. I mean, I should be talking to
you Miss Grace. Got strict rules for how long
have you been working for the adoption Society?
The months. What you do?
You do you want to make a career with them?
Do me a favor. Don't pay you very much then.
Shocking about what do you do anyway how would you like to
earn 300 pounds? £300 sir, 43 minutes work, maybe
less. Doing what I want you to find
out the name and address of the couple who adopted Claire
Hilton's, baby, I couldn't do that, why not?
I'll get sure, it's a matter of looking in a file.
Okay, cool. They won't do anything.
They wouldn't want the publicity with me.
It's the last thing in adoption Society.
Once I just think of all the clothes and help he's 300 quid
would buy shut up. Well, Sarah You got it on you?
Yes, show us how you get the information first.
When could you get it tomorrow? Lunchtime. 15 20 pound notes.
Cook. Get it.
Now she left early and gave me the keys to lock up even better.
There's no risk is there. Give me 10 minutes.
That's how you come to life. Bribing people paying them to
commit crimes for you. I've never forced people to do
anything against their will. Everyone has his price?
And I've usually been prepared to pay it for 30 years, 20 it
all started with a character who came into my office, who wanted
me to import a special Consignment from nice.
He paid well, it was back a month later with more business.
And so it went on one night, the River Police fished, his body up
near whopping and I was left with a valuable load on my hands
and turned out to be heroin. Well, I could hardly go to the
police with it. So I hunted round for a buyer
10,000. He paid me and there was plenty
more. It was a seller's market.
So I became a sinner and you've managed to stay out of trouble.
All these years, the police came close.
Seven years ago. Morris tipped me off, in
exchange for a share. I accepted Every Man Has a
price. And woman.
Copying machine was still warm. So, I did you these, These are
marvelous, there's even a letter from Claire here Jane, where's
the name and address this one? Yes, the procedure was different
in her case. She already had someone lined up
to adopt the baby and just wanted us to look after the
legal. Can I see the letter?
Clear wrote please. No, but what is this form mean?
Peter Let us dated July this year just before she came out,
they miss gray, I'm sorry, I still haven't given my consent,
but I'm hoping to soon be in a position to look after Barney
without having to worry about money.
I know it's going to be very difficult for you to explain to
Angie and Roy Murray. Angela.
But they've always known that having Barney might not be
permanent and I'm sure they'll understand.
I'm going away for a few days holiday in will come and see you
when I get there, you'll see soon.
What about the money? I had him on my knee.
I never get it. Claire's Neighbors at the flat?
Yes. Andre, she said he was her baby.
Not about my money. Well, the money 300?
No. Yeah. 300, she's not even 50,
you're getting now. Run along East.
Treat Her Like She's got enough look, you'll have to learn Sarah
that if you want to lead a life of crime, you have to deal with
crooks are gone, get out. There's the law over there, go
and tell your troubles to him. No, just a minute.
I have this. It's worth something.
I've seen a side of you that I would never have thought existed
never in a million years not in 30 at any round.
Okay, I've done the girl a favor, she'll think twice before
she trust anyone. Again, what did you give her?
Watch the one you gave me for our 21st shock crazy woman.
Do you know what that was worth? Nine years ago, don't care.
What are we going to catch? Craven Brooke.
Why. You know, I to get him to switch
on his legal machine to get us custody of the child, the
memories have been looking after him for the best part of a year
more. So Got to Do With It.
Claire's withheld consent to the adoption order.
Going through the memories, it had him for a year.
We've got to do is open Craven, Brooks cage, and he and his
fellow sharks will have that argument for breakfast.
Mrs. Gray said that the courts always consider the best
interest of the child. Always consider the most
convincing arguments and always find in their favor and money
buys argument. I don't think you understand
what? I don't want us to have the
child. Say that again.
I want the memories to keep him coming after.
I've gone to all that trouble. I was right.
You don't understand, you know, dead.
Right. I don't.
Can they afford it? You don't need a custom
Effectiveness study to decide whether you can afford to bring
up a child just money. Like we brought up Claire, we
gave her the best. We gave her nothing.
You always used to make out. It was my fault, but now, when I
look back, I realize it was you. You were the one who wanted to
go to expensive boarding schools, not me.
It was never me that sent for details on all those schools
that they turned up. What school would you let Claire
to go to Jane? And I like a gullible fool.
Would worry until I picked one and you'd go around telling
everybody what a marvelous Choice I've made.
What were you trying to do by off your conscience?
I always wanted the best for her.
He once said yourself that she wasn't what one would call her
home. Loving, girl, how could she love
what you've never had? Angela Murray said that, they're
used to go and sit with them a lot, not talking or anything,
just Sitting there and it all she wanted was to become part of
their family. Claire knew what she was doing
when she didn't tell us about the baby.
I loved her even though. Yes.
And you're funny way I believe you did.
Come on. Let's go back to the hotel.
You'll have to make my excuses to Maurice this evening.
I don't think I could sit through dinner listening to his
jokes. Foods out of this world in this
class, I told you it'd be gone. Anyway, where was I, oh yes, if
we go ahead with a computer for an extra 2,000, a year, we can
have a direct link to the ship fact.
Computer have day two days. Shipping genital fingertips,
save a fortune on telephone calls but sorry, Peter, you were
going to say, why didn't you tell me you were having an
affair with Claire Marsh? Did she tell you that?
I found out. It was a long time ago.
How long 18 months, maybe a bit longer.
Look, Peter is not as if she was a kid or a.
She had a baby. She didn't she couldn't have.
She had a baby Morris a year ago.
July That explains why she wouldn't see me.
I used to call it the flank but she was never end all pretending
not to me. If only should said you set her
up in a flat as Craven Brooke being talking to, you should
have used another solicitor. But I didn't find out from him
Peter is not as bad as it sounds.
I swear grabbing drifting through a whole series of jobs.
She'd been caught shoplifting and called me as a last resort,
Craven Brooke Got Her Off The Hook, I wanted to tell you, but
she begged me not to I couldn't let her go back to ro dings.
So, I rented the flat for her and gave her some money each
week. You should have told me she
swore she'd kill herself if I did.
I fixed it up with John's chicken.
Whole one down for more than a month.
Peter. She was inadequate.
She couldn't cope with people. Baby was yours.
It must have been. So how did she get involved with
the business? I was tipped off at the
beginning of the year, about some jobs coming up that needed
a carrier vehicle. As I wouldn't be needing the car
for some months and clear. The seeing me again, I didn't
think it would hurt to let her have the Conn meantime.
So you gave her 2 G and told her to collect the mini from Charlie
Witten. Yes.
And you let her become a quarter if you wanted to have some
money. A lot of money but she knew
something about it. So I agree.
Anyway, with Charlie Whitten. Fixing up the mini.
I knew she'd be safe. All she had to do was drive to
Bordeaux and Charlie will be waiting for her.
After that, she was free to drive on to Spain's to you.
And Jane, she didn't turn off at Bordeaux.
No, you know why? Because the police followed her.
She spotted them and panicked. Perhaps, she thought I would
help out that explains if we can figure out what went wrong.
It was the job for. I thought you knew.
The Clara's Brothers. I told you never to work for
those snacks. No wonder the police are onto
you. They fixed it up through Craven
broker, I did another package was theirs until they came to my
office. The other day I wanted to know
where Charlie wouldn't lived. He'd given him the slip at
Bordeaux and clear didn't turn up Kairos Brothers.
I never realized they try to involve me in Chinese killing my
call him out of his house. I got out when I realized what
they were going to do. One of them.
Phoned me in Spain. The day before Before Claire was
new. He wanted my advice on.
Could he had discipline? I thought he was calling from
London. He, what you asked me, what I
used to do, about Korea's who didn't obey orders.
What did you say? It wasn't something I could
discuss on the phone. Was it?
What did you say? I didn't know you dragged Claire
into the business. What did you say?
I said it was up to him to deal with couriers in his own way.
I said what I didn't know. Did I you called on the same
thing? You realize what you did?
You are as good as signed Claire's death, warrant
yourself. And you signed yours the day.
You got my daughter involved. What do you mean?
I've arranged for someone to kill you.
After I've left the country for home, of course, he'll putting
me off my dinner, I'm serious Morris, but I've explained, it
doesn't change anything now. Look, Peter, there's only one
person in Europe. You would hire and not even you
could afford him. I'm paying him.
In uncut diamonds. 500 cats, you've got.
I don't believe it. Charlie.
Wouldn't hit them in the minis, battery.
It converted to of it. Sells two dummies by shorting
about kidding. I can go to hiding.
I can skip the country is in this restaurant right now.
He won't break him out Morris. He could be anyone.
Even that bishop or the Arab, perhaps I've given him two
months, if he doesn't kill you within that time and he's to let
you live. Home another 450 miles.
Well, over the border is home. Still some snow up there.
What do you feel better now? Said you word.
Once we were back in Spain. You mean do I think we can make
a fresh start? Yes, I suppose that's something
you would always try to manage children.
You don't have a second chance. We've got to get it right the
first time there's something I've got to tell you.
I wanted it to be a surprise for when we got back home.
I've severed all my interests with the agency.
That's the best news I've heard in weeks.
It means we'll have to sell the Villa lead a simpler life.
I think I'd like What happened to Morris?
Oh, he'll be sweating for a couple of months but he'll
survive. Gold Morris know what, those
French, telephone numbers a ferret equipment, phone,
numbers, and the lemon laughs pozos.
I worked out what they were speedometer readings, they look
just like French numbers without the area codes.
Chilly. But the hedra?
Blowing up warm air on my side. My fault.
Haven't got Charlie witten's imagination.
The sorry. Forget it.
Keep your eyes open for the Jacko signposts.
