- Here on our patch?
- Could be anywhere in the county.
Last month it was West Riding.
And those slippery tinkers left our
mob standing too, so I've heard.
Have you got anything
else to go on, sarge?
Well, Division has warned us to be
on the lookout for an Irish tinker
called Michael O'Leary.
He seems to pops up too
often for it to be coincidence.
Well, trying to nick him's is
like trying to bottle an Irish mist.
So if he turns up here,
I want to know.
And we'll bottle him!
Now, then
Ah! Grand little spot! Aye.
Just grand for the
gathering of the folk.
- Ah well, told you, didn't I?
- True, true, so you did.
A private place
if ever I saw one.
Aye. And the good thing is, the only
way in's through this old gate here.
Ah, yes, yes.
That's an eye-catching gate.
It having the look of the
permanently open about it.
Ah well, it's broken.
Oh yes, but when what might be
shut is left swinging wide open.
Very inviting, to them of
the curious persuasion.
You want it fixing, don't you?
- Oh, yes.
- Ah well. Consider it done.
If that's your word,
then here's my hand.
Oh, right!
And Mr. Walker's prescription,
he always forgets to renew.
Alex, Mr. Walker's not your
patient anymore, he's mine.
Oh, no, no, I mean Mr. Butterfield.
Alex, are you sure this is wise?
Wise? What? How?
Well, it's the middle of winter.
Hardly the time to go wandering
along the riverbanks.
No. It's quite the best time!
If you like to fish in solitary state.
I don't think you shouldn't be
taking off on your own just now.
Oh, ho-ho!
It's the lure of the river!
One of these days, I'll take you with
me and then you'll understand, eh?
One of these days.
So it only remains to
You take care, now, Alex.
- I will. Bless you. Bye!
- Bye!
- Oh!
- Oh, oh!
Bye!
Your first visit to Yorkshire,
Mr. Kellerman?
Yes, first time.
And how long will you be staying?
I'm not sure. A few
days, maybe a week.
It's room 6. I'll have
your bags sent up.
Thank you.
Oi, oi, excuse me!
Have you got permission to be here?
Well, now, you'd best be havin'
a word with the guv'nor.
Well, where is he?
Are you the guv'nor?
Ah well, we all have equal standing.
But if it's talk you want,
I'll be happy to oblige.
- Have you got permission to be here?
- Oh, yes!
Oh, and why not? Wasn't it the
owner himself who granted it?
Greengrass gave you permission
to use his land?
Now you see, land is a class of
a thing that is full of confusion.
It being here, you see, long before
them that claim the owning.
Oh how long are you
going to be here?
Oh! If I try to do that,
I'd be knowing myself!
And time for the travellers.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Right. Well, I'll leave
you to it, then, Mr?
O'Leary! Michael O'Leary.
Mind how you go, Constable.
I hope you've not been harassing
my guests, Mr. Rowan.
PHONE RINGS
Welby Hall. Helen Lessor speaking.
Good day. May I speak
with Mr. Lessor, please?
Can you tell me what this is about?
It concerns a stamp
that is for sale.
Just a moment, please.
- Martin?
- Yeah?
Someone to speak about stamps.
Sure.
Hello?
'Martin Lessor here.'
'Can I help you?'
Hello?
'Is anyone there?'
LINE GOES DEAD
And he looks and talks like butter
wouldn't melt in his mouth.
At Greengrass's place?
Are you sure you
got the name right?
O'Leary. Michael O'Leary.
Well it uh fits the description.
O'Leary. And Greengrass.
Well, there'll be no Marquess of
Queensberry Rules this time, Rowan.
- No, sarge.
- I must get inside.
Sarge?
Inside information, Rowan!
Just leave it to me.
It's time we showed HQ we're not just
a bunch of pretty faces down here.
Right, let's take the
gloves off, shall we?
I won't be long.
DOORBELL CHIMES
- Yes?
- Mr. Lessor is at home?
- Yes.
- I telephoned yesterday.
Oh, the man who called
about the stamps?
Well, we were cut off.
I thought perhaps a personal call
- Yes, please, come in.
- Thank you.
I'll get my husband.
If you'll care to wait
in the drawing room.
I'll make you some tea.
Thank you very much.
Martin?
There's someone to see you.
Yes?
You wanted to see
me, I understand?
It's you!
After all this time.
All this time! Waiting!
Thinking about you!
No! Please!

MUSIC: 'Oh Well'
by Fleetwood Mac
How long has your husband
been a diabetic, Mrs. Lessor?
Dr. Ferrenby has been treating
him for a very long time.
And how has his general
health been lately?
Not good. I have been worried.
Has he been taking alcohol?
- No more than anyone else.
- Dr. Ferrenby did warn him.
- Come on, Mother!
- James, will you leave this to me?!
That could've thrown his insulin
balance dangerously out.
And the shock of the attack,
it might have brought this on.
Will he be all right?
He'll have to rest.
And Dr. Ferrenby will need to
recalculate his insulin dose.
Well, it's a long time since
I've seen one of these, Rowan.
You won't catch your man
hanging around here, Sergeant.
I am aware of that, sir.
Until we've spoken to your father
Dr. Rowan says he's too ill for that.
At least today.
Sarge, we know he's a foreigner,
and he spoke about stamps.
And he arrived in a local taxi.
I saw him.

That'd be Mr. Kellerman, the
American gentleman, Room 6.
Although he checked
out this morning, officer.
Can I use your phone?
Give me another large scotch.
Alright, George?
Just about. Or I will be when I
get those tinkers off me back.
Stop moaning, will you.
What's the matter, you're
getting free entertainment.
Is that what you call it?
As long as they're finish
by closing time.
If I can get them out.
But the way Greengrass is
pouring booze down them
it'll be until Christmas.
Aye, aye, Greengrass
is and all.
So are you. Use that to play your own
favourite golden oldie on your till.
Coming into money hasn't
change your ways, Claude.
What do you mean?
The company you keep.
Just a few lads I meet at
the horse fest, that's all.
we have a lot in common.
We all need to be fighting fit to
stay in their league, won't you?
Gentlemen, I think we'll continue
this conversation in my study,
if you don't mind?
So, the name Kellerman
means nothing to you, sir?
Nothing.
Well, your wife mentioned he'd made
an enquiry about your stamps.
My collection. Intact.
So, you see, no real
crime committed.
There's been a serious
firearms offence, sir.
I want the whole matter dropped.
I want no charges brought.
The man is obviously
a crank, not a criminal.
That's for the courts to decide,
sir, not for the likes of us.
Thank you.
Thank you both, so much.
We'll be in touch.
So why would he want to
drop the charges, sarge?
He's very publicity shy,
is our Mr. Lessor.
It's not the first time
he's done this, either.
Done what?
It's that son of his. Gambling, dud
cheques, you name it, he's done it.
And daddy works very hard keeping
the good family name out the papers.
Yes, Father?
Sit down, James. Shut the door.
You stole a stamp!
Who did you sell it to?
I always knew you to be spoilt.
Irresponsible.
But up until now, not stupid!
You knew these stamps
were not for sale!
I needed the money.
I thought he was
a private collector.
I didn't know he's going to
put it up for public auction.
You'll never understand
what you have done!
Get out!
FOLK MUSIC AND LIVELY CHATTER
He's a clever devil, that Rowan,
you know. I tell you he knows.
And why wouldn't he?
You haven't had the training for it.
I know, but what I was thinking was,
you know the way things are,
perhaps we should, like,
call it off.
Well, I'll not hinder you
in that respect, Claude.
But others might
not be so obliging.
It's yourself, you see,
who'd be explaining their loss
of beneficial expectations.
But, but, I'm, I'm sure
all the coppers know.
A little knowledge
is a dangerous thing.
It's like knowing
too much, isn't it?
Which, at the end of the day,
can mean knowing nothing at all.
ROWAN: It doesn't add up.
Someone walks into his house,
takes a shot at him,
and he doesn't want
to press charges.
- KATE: He is ill.
- He must be mad.
Oh, what's he want?
Rowan?
Sorry to interrupt,
but this can't wait.
You're to proceed to Liverpool and
escort a prisoner back to Aidensfield.
There's the warrant.
Kellerman.
Aye. He was stopped boarding ship.
Liverpool Docks.
- So when do I go?
- Well, tonight.
But don't let it interrupt your supper.
The train doesn't leave for an hour.
So, back to your pork chop.
Bon appetit.
Mrs. Bright, I'll be off now.
Back this evening.
He's coming up now.
Is one of your boys going
to come with me, sergeant?
There's been an accident in the
Mersey tunnel and it's the full works.
I can't spare anyone this shift.
So how long's it going to be?
It could be tonight.
- Is this him?
- Yeah, that's him.
I think I can manage
on my own, sergeant.
Right, just sign here, lad.
Right.
- Victor Kellerman?
- Yes.
PC Rowan, North
Riding Constabulary.
Victor Kellerman, I have a
warrant here for your arrest
on a charge of attempted
armed robbery.
And possessing a firearm
with intent to endanger life.
Did Mr. Lessor make these
charges against me?
He made a statement,
if that's what you mean.
So I'm to face the music,
as you call it?
Well, that's for the court to decide.
And Mr. Lessor, he
will be in this court?
He's the main witness.
Good. I've waited a long
time for my day in court.
Your right arm, please,
Mr. Kellerman.
- This is necessary?
- It's procedure.
Procedure, yes.
The errand boy of orders,
which always we must obey.
Thank you.
Your sugar levels in your body are
fluctuating pretty wildly, Mr. Lessor.
- It's worrying.
- But it can be controlled.
We'll have to have some tests.
I can do them of course, but
I'll need to consult with Alex.
Then we'd better wait
until he returns.
If it's me that troubles you,
I'll be quite happy to send your
medical records to another doctor.
Or we could admit you to hospital.
I categorically forbid it!
I have been a private patient
of Dr. Ferrenby's for 20 years.
He is the only person
with the authority
to consult my medical records.
I apologise for my
husband, Dr. Rowan.
I'm afraid where his
private life is concerned,
- he can be very
- Stubborn?
Did you meet your husband
in Yorkshire, Mrs. Lessor?
No. After the war.
When I was with the Allied
Control Commission in Berlin.
- You worked together?
- Not officially.
Martin was helping our people
with economic planning.
Very valuable help,
by all accounts.
At least, our government thought so.
How interesting.
Mr. Lessor, how is he?
He'll live. No thanks to you.
It's precisely thanks to
me that he does live.
You are under caution,
Mr. Kellerman.
You should think very carefully
before you say anything.
Oh, your procedures.
I understand.
I came over here to investigate
the ownership of a certain stamp.
My search for truth.
You call it evidence, I think.
Please, look in the case.
Mmm?
The briefcase. I would
like you to look into it.
Now, the catalogue. You see?
Now, in the middle.
No, further.
You see? My name!
My grandfather's name, also.
This stamp was in our family
for three generations.
It's part of a very
valuable collection.
Small album, decorated green boards.
You knew it was there, didn't you?
No.
But I do now.
PHONE RINGS
Horseshoe Hotel. Good morning.
Could I speak to
Dr. Ferrenby, please?
He's out fishing at the moment.
"When do you think he'll back?"
Not till later.
Can I take a message?
Yes. Could you ask him to phone
Dr. Rowan in Aidensfield.
It's about a patient of his.

Yes, I met the seller,
then I met the dealer,
and he told me the name of the man
who sold my stamp, a Mr. Lessor.
Mr. Lessor doesn't exist.
- You tried to shoot him.
- No, no, no, no, no.
The man I shot at was Bauer.
SS Colonel Martin Bauer.
You're saying he's a Nazi?
Before that, he was my friend.
Until he betrayed me,
destroyed my family and my friends.
Why didn't I shoot him?!
You are under caution,
Mr. Kellerman.
- You don't have to tell me anything.
- You are not interested?
I'm just reminding you
of your rights, that's all.
Rights, rights.
I am speaking of justice!
No. You're speaking of revenge.

Who's gonna tell Blaketon?
I'll tell him.
And who's gonna tell Kate Rowan?
Blaketon.
He was my friend.
We were such good friends.
Was that usual?
You were Jewish and
someone in his position
Oh no, we were Germans!
It's how we thought of ourselves.
Martin was an important man.
So, when the bad times came,
he offered to help us.
How?
Well oh, I'm sorry.
He made, for me and
my friends, my family,
an unbreakable trust in his name.
Everything we owned,
even my famous stamp album,
went into the pot.
All to be returned in
happier times, of course.
People trusted him that much?
In actual fact, they trusted me.
It was I who trusted him.
So, what happened?
We were put on the trains
and sent to the death camps.
But the Nazis did allow
us excursional rates.
Sergeant!
Can I have a word?
What can I do for you?
We've just had a message.
From our colleagues in Kelby.
Kelby?
Yes.
Is it about Dr. Ferrenby?
Is he all right?
Well, our colleagues haven't pieced
together all the details yet.
But it seems that Dr.
Ferrenby was fishing
and apparently he waded out into
a dangerous stretch of the river
got out of his depth.
Yes, Sergeant?
And he drowned.
I'm sorry.

I've brought you some more insulin.
According to my calculations,
this is the amount you'll need
until we've run the tests.
You spoke to Dr. Ferrenby, then?
No, I based it on a thorough
study of your medical records.
You consulted my private records?
Yes.
When Ferrenby returns,
I shall insist that you're charged
with unethical conduct.
You've no need to worry.
I'm bound by the rules of
patient confidentiality.
Alex Ferrenby died yesterday.
If you could sign at the bottom,
please, sir.
Will it make a difference?
How d'you mean?
Ask yourself, how is it possible for
the man that you call Mr. Lessor
to live freely in your country
for so many years?
You're obliged to
sign at the bottom.
Because he's had official protection.
Why not?
He had valuable information.
Don't look so worried.
The world is made up of such deals.
Not in a court of law, Mr. Kellerman.
The only deal you get
in there is justice.
You really believe that, don't you?
I have to.
Circulate unsubtantiated accusations
against a prominent citizen?
Are you off your head, Rowan?
There's no more reason to
believe your Mr. Kellerman
than any other suspected criminal.
But that's his statement, Sergeant.
We can't just ignore it.
Shouldn't we pass it up the line?
You're right, it does make you think.
Mind you, he didn't really
have a bad innings, did he.
We're having a kind of open
house in his memory tonight.
- Expect you'll be in?

I was just wondering if you could
do me a favour, though, George.
I'm expecting a delivery, some stuff.

Oh, aye? What's that?
Oh no, just a few bits and pieces.
It'll fit in your shed.

Good morning, Mr. Lessor.
It's a formal identification.
Is this the man who shot at you?
Yes.
Well, thank you, sir.
That will be all.
But I would like a private
word with Mr. Kellerman.
I'm afraid that's impossible, sir.
It's too late, Martin.
I made a statement.
A trial would destroy my family.
Like mine.
You knew the rules.
Those who are not for
them were against them.
And you were all marked
for death, Victor. All of you!
We were friends. I trusted you.
Have you ever wondered
why you survived, Victor?
Every day of my life.
It was arranged.
Like you arranged the trains,
and the camps,
and the gas chambers.
See you in court, Colonel Bauer!
Follow me. All right?
I never realised he'd been so ill.
Nor did any of us.
It was a blood clot on the brain.
How did this happened then?
Well, it could've been that fall.
A knock on the head.
It could've been anything.
It's almost impossible to detect,
especially in elderly people.
Well, I knew he'd been
wandering a bit lately,
but I thought that was just old age.

Deportation order.
All charges against Victor Kellerman
have been dropped.
This is Mr. Brown, Rowan, a
gentleman from the Home Office.
The fact is, with the
main witness dead,
it is felt that a trial
would serve no purpose.
It'd serve Mr. Kellerman's purpose.
I'll re-phrase it.
It is felt that a trial of this kind
would not be in the
national interest.
Just serve the order, Rowan.
Mr. Brown will accompany
you and take it from there.
At which point, you
will forget the case.
Nor will you ever discuss
it with anyone, at all, ever.
Just forget the whole thing?
Delighted to find you so quick
on the uptake, Constable.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kellerman.
Some things are
perhaps for the best.
Now the Lessor family have troubles.
You know, he asked
me to forgive him.
I survived the camps.
How can I forgive him
when I can't forgive myself?
Well, goodbye, Mr. Kellerman.
I'm proud to have met you.
