The Syndicate (2012) s03e05 Episode Script

Sarah

1 I think you're going to need William more than ever now, my dear .
.
to handle your divorce.
Julie's husband Ken used to be gamekeeper.
For a bit of extra cash, he'd go out on a late night catch.
- Two of them, lost at sea.
- Yeah, it was terrible.
GUNSHO You know I would If I only could Yes it's all all or nothing Oh-oh-oh-oh All or nothing Oh-oh-oh-oh All or nothing For me.
Godfrey! LAUGHTER 'Come on!' 'Come on, Charlie! Bring it back!' Godfrey, stop! They give them too much holiday.
I never know what to with them.
Noah's gone with his dad on the trawler, but our Amy's frightened of the sea.
Yeah, well, she's right to be frightened.
- Oh, God, Sarah -- I am so sorry.
- It's all right, it's fine.
- I didn't mean - I'm dealing with it sort of.
How's your mam doing? Doctor's given her some anti-depressants, so we'll see.
She wanted to come back to work.
I said she should have another couple of weeks off, but you can't tell her anything.
I think work takes her mind off my dad.
Well, now Sonia's going, she'll be all on her own, with all the meals to do.
I don't know how she's going to manage.
We'll all pitch in, love.
Where's the little clock gone? Don't know.
It was there on Friday, cos I dusted it.
Ask the new lad, cos he's been winding up all the clocks.
I'd kill myself if I ended up being a cleaner, like my mum.
I don't even like doing my room.
I'm going to be a singer.
Can you sing? No, but neither can loads of people that are famous.
Or I could be a model, cos I'm thin and I'm pretty.
You'd have to go to London.
Yeah, well, I'm not going to stick around here, am I? As soon as I finish school, I'm off.
I hate Scarborough, it's boring.
Have you seen Sean? Last seen heading towards the stables.
Sarah used to work at a big hotel in London.
You could always ask her what it was like.
I don't need to ask her.
I've been twice -- once on a school trip, and then I went last year with my mum and dad and my brother to see The Lion King.
When I was a young warthog When he was a young warthog! - DOG BARKS - Fetch! Hiya.
Oh, hi.
How you doing? Fine.
Er the small clock in the sitting room is missing, I just wondered if you knew where it was? - What are you talking about? The one that was on the mantelpiece? - Yeah.
It was there yesterday.
I wound it up.
Is it not there now? No, or I wouldn't be asking you, would I? Ah, sorry.
That was a stupid thing to say.
No, it's all right, it's me.
I'm just a bit - Are you all right? - No, it's nothing.
It's just I'm used to coming in here and seeing my Of course It can't be easy, seeing me do what your father used to do.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I didn't mean to upset you.
Is there anything I can do? No.
I'm stupid, I'm not usually like this.
It's just the smell of horses and seeing you cleaning the stables It's totally understandable.
It's brought things back for you.
So the clock was definitely there yesterday? - Definitely.
- OK, great.
Well, um That's all I wanted to know.
Glad you're settling in and I'm sure the clock will turn up.
It can't have walked.
Nobody but the staff has been in this room.
One of you must know where it is.
Well, I'm so sorry, but I don't know.
Sarah's gone to ask the new gamekeeper, cos he's taken over odd jobs like winding the clocks and that.
It's an extremely valuable clock - I'm sure it is.
- .
.
and if it's found to be missing, the police will have to be informed.
I don't know what you're telling me for.
I've worked here for ten years.
Nothing's ever gone missing before.
Has he seen it? He says it was there yesterday, cos he wound it up.
Lord Hazelwood will have to be told and I'm sure he's going to want to speak to all of you.
He's going to be very upset.
She is such a cow! I swear to God, she thinks I've nicked it.
DOOR SHUTS FOOTSTEPS APPROACH The small clock in the sitting room's missing and Lady H is having a dicky fit.
My heart bleeds for her.
SHE CRIES - Where's Sonia? - She rang in.
Said her back were bad.
Well, if they're letting her go, she's not going to hang around till the end of the month, is she? No.
She's going to be out there, looking for another job.
She's got four kids to feed.
13 years she has worked at this house -- it's terrible.
Just let Lady Fancy Knickers ask me to do another dinner party.
She'll get both barrels! I'm telling you You don't think Sonia could have taken the clock, do you? I wouldn't blame her if she had.
Mum, it's worth a fortune! There'll be an investigation and everything.
[CRYING.]
Sean, I need to - Can you move your arm? - Sorry.
SHE SNIFFS What are you doing? Come back to bed.
I've got some things to sort out, just er I thought we might snuggle up, see what happens.
SHE WHIMPERS - Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
I've got a lot on my mind, that's all.
- I'm sorry, I ballsed it up.
- It wasn't your fault.
You know it doesn't matter that we didn't It does matter to me.
It just tells me that I'm not ready for a relationship yet.
Is this about my past? Is this about Mary? No, it's just .
.
stuff that sticks with you, that's all.
Jesus Christ, Sarah -- how long are you going to mope over the man? He was a shit.
He didn't support you when you needed him most.
- It was my fault.
- What? I should've just had the termination.
Hey! No! Why? Why should you have? If you wanted to keep that baby, you were perfectly entitled to keep it.
I lost it anyway .
.
and I could see the relief on his face.
Yeah, cos he's an arsewipe.
And then my dad died.
I just can't seem to stop thinking about things.
Hey .
.
it's official .
.
you've had a really shit time.
You're coming out the other side now.
- Am I? - Yeah.
Yeah, cos I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
And you know what? There's no rush for us.
We can take as much time as we want.
It's great just being close with you.
And it will happen.
I know it will.
Whenever you're ready - .
.
as long as it's tonight(!) - LAUGHTER Sarah! Sarah! Sarah, they've started! - They've started.
- Who's started? The men -- the plumbers, the kitchen fitters.
They turned up at eight o'clock this morning.
It's all happening.
- Oh, God! - It has to happen today, otherwise they won't be on schedule for the grand opening.
Speaking of which, I think we should get a fountain for the lake.
- It would only cost £2,000 - Did we decide on the lake? I wasn't sure.
- Nobody said nothing.
It's all in the budget.
- Right.
The contractors have got the Long Reach Excavator PC10 digging out.
I've got to go speak to my mum, Godfrey.
You haven't forgotten that we're going into town later, have you? No, I haven't forgotten, but What the hell? I told you.
There'll be no hot lunch today.
I know I said stuff I shouldn't have done to Lady Fancy Knickers upstairs.
You've won the lottery, love.
Your can say owt you like.
So do you own part of this house now? Yeah, there's five of us, and Lord Hazelwood.
Who'd have thought it, eh? I'm going to run a residential cookery school and everything.
I'm having leaflets printed.
- Hello, love.
- The old enamel sink's out there.
- So? I don't think we can do that, it's the original.
Who's going to stop us, eh? It's our house now.
We can do what we want with it.
I'm having a double stainless steel with a waste disposal.
I've finished packing, anyway, if Sean will help you bring everything down to the West Wing.
I need you to tell me where you want everything putting.
The clothes go in the wardrobe, toiletries in the bathroom and don't touch the boxes that are taped up, OK? I've got all my breakables in there.
I'll unpack them myself later.
I'll be up in a minute.
My daughter, Sarah.
Did they find the other lottery woman's daughter -- - the one that went missing? - Amy.
No, they're still looking for her.
Someone said she ran off with her boyfriend.
Yes, well turns out she didn't.
They found him in Almouth and according to him, he hasn't seen her.
He's a lying toe-rag! Mmm? How do you know? I just do.
I swear to God, I could've killed him.
Well, it looks like he's tried to kill you.
Yeah, well, he's 20 years younger than I am.
Agh! Jesus! KNOCKS AT DOOR I'll get it.
- Can we have a chat? - Have you found her? No, we've not come about Amy.
You've been in the wars, mate.
Er, yeah, yeah -- we had a bit of trouble down at the harbour.
- What's all this about? - Nick Harrison was shot last night.
He's at St Hilda's.
He's in a pretty bad state.
- Shit! Shit! - What is it? - Nick Harrison.
- He's not going to die, is he? Well, the shot hit an artery and he's lost a lot of blood.
Bollocks! Who did it? That's what we'd like to talk to you about.
- What? - Andy didn't do it! - Can we come in? - All of you? - Yeah.
After you, sir.
Someone fitting your description was seen at the caravan site and several witnesses heard raised voices and banging coming from Nick's caravan.
Did you go down there? Yeah, all right.
I admit I went round there -- just to talk to him.
Yeah, but you did more than that, didn't you? - No, I didn't! - Look at the state of you.
I mean, that didn't happen down at the harbour, did it? He started throwing his fists around and I had to defend myself, didn't I? - With a gun? - Are you mental? I don't have a gun! We've a warrant to search your house.
- Be my guest.
- OK, lads.
OK, Brian.
Are you going to ransack my house, now? Don't you think it's bad enough that you can't find my daughter? I'm sorry about this.
We'll try not to make a mess.
- Don't worry about it, Dawn.
They're not going to find anything, are they? - Do you have a bank account, Andy? - Yeah, of course we've got a bank account.
What's that got to do with anything? - And is it in your name? - It's in our name -- mine and Dawn's.
- Why are you asking? Well, we traced the bank account that the reward money was paid into - and it's in the name of "A Stevenson".
- What? That don't make sense.
Why would Andy do that? Why would he ask me to pay a million pounds for our daughter? - That's ridiculous.
- Can I see your last bank statement? No, no, no, you bloody can't.
We don't have statements any more.
We bank online.
Our money's our business, it's got nothing to do with you.
Well, we can find out very easily.
I mean, we can seize the computer, or we can go down to the bank and Look, this is silly, we've got nothing to hide.
What are you doing, Dawn? Showing them.
You know, there's just the lottery winnings, mine and Andy's wages -- less the money we used to buy Hazelwood -- - the rent, the car - They've got no right to come in here, demanding to see our personal finances If you want to question me about Nick Harrison, fire away, cos I'll tell you something -- I'm glad he's been shot, cos if I had had a gun, I'd have done it myself.
That's not right.
What's the matter? There's only 300,000 in there.
There's a million missing.
Where's it gone, Andy? What are you asking me for? Have you seen what they're doing to the kitchen? No, but I'm sure they're doing it for the right reasons.
It doesn't matter what their reasons are, Charles.
This is a Grade II listed building.
They have to have permissions to start ripping out original features.
Oh, you mean like the original Reynolds that used to hang on this wall, instead of this poorly executed forgery? I have spoken to Spencer and he's going to look into the insurance as soon as he gets home.
The insurance will never realise the true value.
Lydia and I bought that picture on our honeymoon, with the money given to us on our wedding.
I am sick to death of hearing about bloody Lydia.
I've lived with the ghost of your dead wife for the last 25 years! Maybe that's why our marriage hasn't worked.
No, my dear.
Our marriage hasn't worked because you took a lover.
- A man I trusted - You really believe I'd do that? - .
.
our family solicitor.
- A woman of my age, my standing As if I could be bothered.
You've chosen to take the word of a member of kitchen staff, who clearly has no regard for me whatsoever! That's not true.
She's devoted her entire life to Hazelwood.
She would never do anything to harm the reputation of anybody in this house.
Spencer, where have you been? I had to pick these up from Amsterdam.
The exhibition closed on Friday.
What the hell is going on? There are vans coming and going.
None of your business what's going on.
I'm afraid it is my business.
For your information, both of you, I have instructed another solicitor on various matters, who I'm certain you'll be hearing from very shortly.
But you should know that the sale of Hazelwood was completed as of this morning.
What? You can't do that! Well, it seems that I can -- and I have.
The lasting power of attorney was very easy to revoke.
And now, I think, it would be better for all of us if you both found somewhere else to live.
- Charles, that's ridiculous! - Not a cat in hell's chance.
It's just not going to happen.
You can't do that to us! Well, it seems that I can.
You could go abroad, my dear -- somewhere warm.
I'm quite happy to pay for the flights.
You'll have to pay for a great deal more than that.
Oh, well.
So be it.
By the way, the police would like to talk to you .
.
about Amy Stevenson.
- Who? - The girl who helps out sometimes -- the cleaner's daughter.
Oh, right, yes.
That Amy.
I didn't realise she was called Stevenson.
They just need to check a few things out.
Her stupid boyfriend, the one that was shouting outside, has concocted a story about you dragging her out of his caravan.
Really? Was this during the dinner party, or We told them we had guests and you were hosting the party.
I'll swing by the station.
It should be fun.
Do you mean it? Do you really want me to leave, Charles? What have I done that's so terrible? I've nursed you through your illness.
I've travelled back and forth between here and the hospital.
I've done my best.
Can't we get past this? You know, it's interesting.
Once you realise you're looking at a forgery .
.
you begin to see all the imperfections, all the flaws.
And once you've seen them .
.
it's very difficult to remember how beautiful the original was.
- Hiya.
- I've just left the clothes on the bed, cos I didn't know what to do with them.
Well, that's fine.
We'll sort that out.
So are these the last two? Yeah, but my mam don't want us to take them ones down.
It's pretty heavy.
She's not going to be able to lift that down the stairs herself.
There's something in one of these boxes my mam doesn't want us to see.
What? How do you know? Because I saw something yesterday, when she was packing stuff up.
What was it? - Come on, tell me.
- I think it was Oh, I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I think it was that Swiss clock that went missing three years ago.
- No way - I pretended I hadn't seen it and went and had a shower, but when I got back, it wasn't in the cupboard and the boxes were like this, all taped up.
Well, it seems we have two choices.
We can either open the boxes and check if the clock's in there, - or we can ignore it.
- How can we ignore it? The clock is really valuable.
The police were brought in.
They searched Dawn's house for it, she nearly lost her job.
Yeah, I remember.
They searched the cottage and asked me a bunch of bloody questions.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, well, I was fresh out of the nick, I was known to the police and I'd only been working here a month, so If my mam stole the clock and let her friends take the blame for it There's no way Julie would do that.
I think we should just check the boxes.
You do that one and I'll do this.
PHONE RINGS - Hello, Sarah speaking.
- 'It's me, Dawn.
' Oh, hi.
How are you? - 'Is your mum there?' - No, my mam's not here.
They're pulling the old kitchen out, so she's down there supervising.
They've taken Andy down to the police station and he must have the car keys in his pocket, because I can't find them.
I've looked everywhere and I've got to go to the bank.
We'll come and pick you up.
- 'Are you sure?' - It'll be all right.
'Thanks, love.
- 'See you soon.
' - OK, bye.
- Oh, my God! Is it? - I think so.
- It looks like the real thing.
- We'll check it out.
We've got pictures of everything logged on the archive file.
I'm not sure if you know, but this house is a Grade II listed building.
You can't just rip out fixtures and fittings that have been here since the house was built.
We have checked the building regulations.
Both the range and Aga were obsolete and dangerous.
The enamel sink was chipped and the wooden draining board didn't drain properly, so it was a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
A serious health hazard, I'd say -- but feel free to contact anyone you want.
Oh, don't worry, Sean.
I will.
And just for your information, the porcelain exhibition is finished, so the two Ming vases are back.
Oh, and the insurance for the two stolen paintings? They're sending an assessor around this afternoon.
By the way, have you seen my iPad? I left it in the study.
No, sorry.
Son of a bitch, that was close! TYRES ON GRAVEL DRIVE ENGINE REVS That's it.
Shit! Oh, it's the same one.
Oh, my God! Look at the estimated value of it.
£250,000! I suppose that's why the police were brought in.
What are we going to do? Look, it's no good jumping to conclusions.
We don't know anything yet.
Your mother might have a perfectly good explanation.
- DOOR OPENS - Are we going? You said half past.
It's now 33 minutes past.
I've been waiting.
Yeah, sorry, Godfrey.
We just got a bit distracted.
I've got a lot of things to buy and I said I'd meet Wendy at one o'clock, outside the pavilion.
She's very particular about her timekeeping -- as am I.
We should make a move.
I told Dawn we'd pick her up.
What are we going to do about? I think we should just put it back where it came from - and we'll deal with it later.
- Good idea.
I followed him home, right? I just wanted to speak I just wanted to talk to him, ask him where Amy was and .
.
then he starts giving me all this lip What if she was here? It's got nowt to do with you.
I'm her dad, you stupid twat! What have you done with her, Nick? Where is she? CRASH Piss off, old man.
I'll smash your head in.
I'll kill you! 'He's a fairground boy.
They're big, strong lads.
' THUMPS 'I was lucky to get out of there alive.
' All right, to tell you the truth To be honest, right? I was going to get some of the lads together and go round there and talk to him and see what I could get out of him then.
KNOCKS AT DOOR DOOR OPENS - Have you got a minute? - What is it? We've got Hazelwood's stepson in reception.
Evidently he went to Amsterdam and completely forgot to take a phone charger with him.
- Do you want me to do the honours? - Yeah.
- How are you getting on in there? - I don't know, I can't call it.
- Well, maybe he got rid of the gun? I mean, he could've thrown it in the sea.
- He's a trawler man after all, isn't he? - Check out if any boats were out late last night.
- Will do.
Guts are telling me something's not right.
Interesting So when you left Nick Harrison's caravan, he was alive and kicking? Yeah.
Yeah He might have had a few bruises.
There were no bruises, just gunshot wounds.
So what time did you get home? Half nine, ten o'clock.
I don't know.
Well, Nick Harrison left here at 7:30.
It might've been earlier, I don't know.
Maybe you went somewhere else, after? I didn't, I went straight home.
My face was a mess.
And your wife will vouch for that, will she? Well, she was asleep.
She was in bed.
She'd just come out of the hospital.
She nearly had a miscarriage.
The lottery people told me to open a separate account for the money to go into, but Andy wouldn't hear of it.
He said what's my money's his money and his money's my money.
I mean, we've always just had a joint bank account.
So, do you think Andy's taken a million out of your account? I don't know, but somebody has.
I didn't get a chance to ask him.
Do you think he could do something like that? I'd like to say "no" I'm going to buy some new clothes.
Hi, love.
We're going to a proper men's shop.
I usually get my clothes from Age Concern.
Did it ever occur to you that Amy's also "A Stevenson" and she's also got a bank account? Yeah.
We checked out Amy's Post Office savings account.
She's got £32.
20 in it and there's been no movement since the day before she went missing.
There are thousands, thousands of Stevensons -- - just look in the directory.
- You might've decided that you would like a slice of Dawn's lottery winnings in your own name No way, I wouldn't do that! Why would I do that? No No, you've got it all wrong! She's independent now, she doesn't need you or your money any more.
- She can do what she likes.
- She's pregnant with our third child! Why would I? Look, that's not me.
You've got it wrong.
You don't know me! We know that you've got a separate bank account with £800,000 in it, Andy.
It happened before, about six years ago.
Not like a million pounds, but money kept disappearing from my account.
I'd go to try and draw something out and there'd be nothing there.
So I rung the bank to get a copy statement, cos I couldn't find the original anywhere.
- We're going in here, Sarah.
- Right, we'll be there soon.
I'd like your opinion -- you two being girls and that.
We won't be long, we're just going to the bank.
Anyway, the statement arrives.
There's bed and breakfast places, cheap hotels, all sorts of stuff -- - and I knew straight away he'd been carrying on.
- Really? Yeah, it was some woman from the fish market.
Belinda Grassington.
It'd been going on about a year and a half.
I was going to leave him, but I spoke to your mam and she said, "No, no, give him another chance.
" You know, I feel a bit sorry for the chap.
He's clearly besotted with Amy and she's way out of his league.
But you know, he came up to the house, shouting his head off and we were in the middle of a very important business deal with some American clients, so maybe I was a little heavy handed with him.
Well, he claims that you came up to the caravan park and in his words, "dragged Amy off" with you.
- Really? - Mm-hm.
- Which caravan park was this? - Where he lives.
Oh, I see, I see.
He lives in a caravan, does he? Well, I wouldn't know where he lived and I certainly wouldn't take Amy anywhere with me.
Amy is the daughter of one of our cleaners.
She's a very sweet girl, but she's a bit of a liability, to be honest.
Anyway, what sort of time is this supposed to have happened? Because we were entertaining our guests until the early hours of the morning.
Well, that's where it starts to get a bit vague, because Nick Harrison doesn't seem to own a watch.
All he can tell us is that it was dark.
Right.
Well, I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, but I can only think he's tried to implicate me because I took a firm hand with him when he was causing a disturbance on Hazelwood property.
Oh, God - KNOCKS AT DOOR - Yeah? Aha, I thought I'd find you here.
Yeah, the dust was getting on my chest, so I thought I'd step out for a breather.
Well, the kitchen's coming on.
They're cleaning off all the walls, ready for plastering.
You've not been down all them steps on your own, have you? Don't worry, I took it very slowly.
My legs are getting stronger every day -- and Sean had a chat with Dr Shaw.
They've got me doing physio.
I'm supposed to walk half a mile every day.
I've got a pedometer.
I have to say, you're looking much better.
You going to be all right in here? There's damp coming in at that corner and you know it's the coldest part of the house.
I think it's lovely.
I'll put an extra jumper on.
I remember the first Lady Hazelwood loved this room.
Yes, yes, she did.
She'd have Ken light her a big roaring fire, she'd bring the dog Oh, Patch? The King Charles.
Yeah, that's right -- and little Edwin, God bless him.
She'd bring them in here for afternoon tea.
In fact, he took his first steps in this room.
- You've got a good memory.
- Don't forget happy times.
I remember when he first got poorly and she'd say to me, "Sit and talk to me, Julie," and I'd have a cup of tea with her and a scone and we'd have a bit of a natter.
I think it helped take her mind off Edwin.
She were a lovely woman.
Yes, she was.
I'm sorry that things have been so difficult with Rachel.
It's not your fault, is it, hm? She was just a different kettle of fish.
More a case of "know your place" with her, that's all.
So, how does it feel to be a co-owner of this house? Well, to be honest, it hasn't really sunk in.
Something is so wrong.
Why would Andy take all that money out of our account without telling me? Do you think he could have paid the ransom, as well as Godfrey? I don't know.
They said the account was in the name of "A Stevenson".
For all I know, he could be in on it.
Do you know, I wish to God we'd never won the bloody Lottery Don't say that.
We own part of Hazelwood Manor.
I don't care about Hazelwood! I just want our Amy back and I want things back to way they were! Oh, God.
I feel sick to my bloody stomach! DAWN SOBS - You look great.
- You don't think it's too tight? - No.
No, you've got loads of room.
The whole idea is that it's fitted.
It's £249.
We do have cheaper suits, but this is wool and My other suit cost 19.
99.
- Right.
- You can afford it.
And the shirt's £70 and the shoes are Splash out, Godfrey, we've won the lottery.
I thought it were you, but I wasn't sure.
- Were you in the Hazelwood Manor syndicate? - Yeah, and him.
Congratulations! I've been doing the lottery for four years.
I were just about to give up, then I read about you lot winning.
Weren't it nearly three million each? Yes, but the numbers were wrong and I've only got £334,001.
84 left, now I've paid Amy's reward and bought the new tractor and I'm planning on buying a camera - Oh, is Amy the girl that's gone missing? - Excuse me, I haven't finished talking! Sorry.
I want to buy a Leica M (type 240), with a Noctilux 50mm F 0.
95 Aspherical M 6-bit lens, which is £12,039.
You shouldn't have paid all that money into the account.
Well, I didn't want them to keep hurting her, did I? - Excuse me.
Can I just? - Talking! - DOOR OPENS Anyway, she'll be on her way back from Luxemburg now.
Sean, I'm just going to take the estate car and drive Dawn to the police station.
That's Sarah and that's Dawn.
They've won the lottery too.
Do you want me to take her? No, you're all right.
I'll be back soon.
Do you think Wendy will like me in this, Sarah? Definitely -- but do you like it? I think so.
It's a bit different to what I'm used to.
I've only ever had one suit.
Trevor says it's"on trend".
It only came in yesterday.
It's "on trend".
I was thinking we could grab something to eat at Harvey's.
- Yeah, OK.
- Great.
I'll see you there.
All right.
Buy the suit, Godfrey.
You look very handsome.
I look very handsome! Where are they going? Can we follow them? I wanted to buy a new hat.
Er, I don't think you're going to have time, mate, if you're meeting her at one by the pavilion.
Shall I take all these bags with me? I'll take them if you want.
I can put them in the back of the car when I see Sarah.
OK.
I'd better go, then.
Well, don't look so worried.
What's up with you? I just want to ask Wendy something very important, that's all.
Now, hang on You've only just met her, Godfrey.
Don't come on all heavy, or you'll frighten her off.
What do you mean, "heavy"? Don't go asking her to marry you or move in with you.
You don't know her properly yet.
I was just thinking of asking her whether she thought it was worth me getting a new automatic stabiliser bar for the John Deere, if I'm getting a plough.
Oh, right! [HE CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, sure.
You should be all right to ask her that.
Right.
Cheerio! Good luck! DOORBELL RINGS DOOR OPENS - Andy! - Hiya.
- What have you done? Oh, don't worry about that.
I brought a couple of friends of mine.
- I hope you don't mind.
- MOBILE PHONE RINGS - Whatever.
- What the bloody hell's going on? - What are you doing here? - And who's she? - She's called Andrea - Andrea? She's an estate agent.
I've put a deposit down on this place, it's the show house.
It's 750 grand, fully furnished.
I said we'd have it.
Without telling me? We've even thrown the garden furniture in.
Come through.
We've had a lot of interest in this particular house.
I could've sold it twice over, but Andy secured it with a good deposit.
Yeah, 200k.
I could just see all the money disappearing into Hazelwood and I wanted something for us -- for ourselves.
We can move in any time you like.
We can be in for when the baby's born.
- I thought you - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I should've told you, but I wanted it to be a surprise.
That was the hospital on the phone.
Nick Harrison's just come round.
He's ready to be interviewed.
- Well, you'd better get over there, then.
- Right.
Can I go home now? Not yet, love.
Sorry.
We followed the police car and then she got out and told me to go.
I'm sure we'll find out.
- Is this OK? - Yeah, great.
I've always wanted to eat here.
I just never had the money.
Yeah, me too.
- Let me take that, madam.
- Thank you.
Can I get you anything to drink? - Just some water, please - A bottle of dry white wine, please.
We'll get a taxi back.
I can't drink in the afternoon, I'll be drunk.
Great -- job done.
I fancy a steak.
It's a lovely menu.
Did he buy the suit? Yeah, yeah, he bought the lot.
So, is it mine again, tonight? Or we could try a hotel in town.
It's not the cottage, it's me.
- I'm going to have the sea bass.
- Sounds good.
I was thinking about the clock.
We could just say we found it under the dust covers in the West Wing when we were moving stuff about.
Why don't you just talk to your mum? She might have an explanation.
You might be worrying yourself needlessly.
But what am I going to say to her? Just say that you saw the clock and Oh, my God.
Don't look.
Godfrey's just come in with his girlfriend.
- There they are! - Oh, there.
I said they'd be here, didn't I? Godfrey! Can we sit here with our friends, please? Yeah, you don't mind us joining you, do you? - No.
- No.
Would you like to taste the wine, sir? I'm sure it'll be great, just pour it.
Can we move this table over here, so we can all sit together? - Of course.
- Guess what? She liked my suit.
He looks so handsome.
I hardly recognised him.
Wendy's just been for her bikini line waxing.
- Is there a fire or something? - KNOCKS AT DOOR James Hetherington, insurance assessor from Church and Blackburn.
Oh, right.
Come in.
Who is it you're looking for? Lord Hazelwood, or his son Spencer.
Right.
Well, follow me.
I'd offer you a cup of tea, but I've got nowt to boil a kettle on.
No, you don't want a hydraulic stabiliser bar -- they're nowt but trouble.
What you need is a hitch holder model 148.
But how is that going to work with my flail mower attachment and my furrow maker? Of course it will.
You could spray, bale, you can do whatever you want.
But what you really need is an Auger finger beam on your combine -- and then you're really talking.
An Auger finger beam? Absolutely fantastic, you can't be doing without it.
We'll make a start on the units tomorrow -- give it chance for the plaster to dry out.
- Right, I want it up and running by the end of the week.
- Yeah.
No problem.
The granite's all cut and it's coming tomorrow afternoon.
My God, look at this! They've cracked on, haven't they? Did you get Godfrey kitted out, then? Er, yeah.
Suit, shoes, overcoat, shirts And then we had lunch with him and the girlfriend at Harvey's.
That was interesting.
It's all right for some.
We're all bloody starving here.
Oh, sorry.
We should've brought you something back.
No, it's all right.
I'm just going to take Lord Hazelwood a sandwich and get one myself.
And then can we have a chat, Mam? Oh, heck, sounds serious.
What about? Just about moving forward with things.
I'll see you in the West Wing.
That sounds good, don't it? Hmm? "The West Wing".
As far as we know, the original Reynolds was sold to China.
We're still trying to track the Gainsborough, but we think it was sold from a small, private auction house According to John Kempt.
But of course, he could be wrong.
Here we are.
OK.
You get this down you and it will help keep your strength up.
Now, they've promised me running water and a few power points by the end of the day.
But I'm going to make a cuppa in the West Wing, if you want to join me? I might just do that.
We could We'll pretend we didn't recognise it.
We'll just say we were unpacking and we just came across it.
I'd forgotten how beautiful it is.
Don't go flashing that around.
You'll have Lady Fancy Knickers ringing the police again.
- Where did you get it from, Mum? - I'm not telling you.
Put it back in the box, will you? Now, do you want a cup of tea, or I want to know how long you've had this clock for! About three years.
Basically since it went missing.
- Damn, forgot the milk.
- We had a full-scale investigation.
Dawn nearly lost her job over it! I know.
I know, I felt terrible, but I couldn't say owt.
- Well, why not? - I wouldn't get involved if I were you, love.
Well, he's every right to, seeing as they searched his cottage.
Nobody asked me back then, OK? Not you, not Lady Hazelwood, not the police.
Yeah, because no-one suspected you.
You work in the kitchen, - not the house.
You should've owned up! - You're right.
So what did you do? Just steal it? Do you really think I'm capable of that? I don't know.
Why else would you have it squirreled away in the back of a cupboard all these years? Oh, do you know, I knew that you'd seen it.
All right, then -- yeah.
Yes, I stole it.
- Does that make you feel better? - No, it makes me feel worse! It's horrible thinking your mother's a thief.
Do you know how much this is worth? £250,000.
- Give over.
You're talking rubbish.
- I'm not.
I'm telling the truth.
There's a valuation in the archive.
My husband and I have been discussing your living here and we think Is that the Swiss clock? - We can explain.
- No! - It is! Oh, my goodness, - it's to be hoped you can explain, my dear.
- It's a replica.
It's none of your bloody business.
We part own this house and everything in it.
You certainly do not.
You bought into the house, not the contents.
Give me that clock now! - Piss off! - Mum! - Excuse me?! - Give her it! - Over my dead body.
Right, well, I shall have to let Charles know - he's going into business with thieves.
- Be my guest.
This has got nothing to do with Sarah, Sean or any bugger else! - Oi! - Mum! - And, of course, inform the police that you're in possession of stolen property from Hazelwood.
That's right, sweetheart.
You get your knickers in a right old twist.
Mum, leave it.
Let her go.
- Why should I? - This answers a lot of questions about other things - that have gone missing from this house.
- Like what? You might like to know that I have just found one of your family heirlooms, - the Swiss clock that went missing over three years ago.
- I'm sorry about this.
Guess where it was? Surprise, surprise -- in the West Wing.
- Calm down, Rachel.
- I will not calm down! - We were just unpacking and we came across it.
They didn't even try to hide it when I walked into the room.
I suggest, Charles, that we ring the police right now and have them to do a thorough search of all their property.
- No, we're not going to do that, Rachel.
- Why not? If they stole the clock, they could've stolen any number of things, including the paintings.
- That would be really nice and neat, wouldn't it? - There you were, pointing a finger at Spencer and me and all the time it was your precious staff robbing you blind.
It wasn't "the staff".
It was me that took it.
Nobody else.
There you have it -- a full and frank confession.
If that doesn't convince you to call the police, I'll do it myself.
You're not going to ring the police, Rachel, because Julie did not steal that clock.
I gave it to her.
You are a liar, Charles! - How can you stand there and say that? - Because it's the truth.
- Julie, wait, please! - I've never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life.
- You are a truly pathetic man, do you know that? - Shut up, Rachel! You resent every penny that Spencer and I spend.
- Julie! - Mum! - You accuse us of stealing things, and all the time, there you are, giving away family heirlooms to the staff.
It's absurd and humiliating - and I won't put up with it any more! - Jolly good! Sarah, will you please make sure your mother's all right? - Is it true you gave her the clock? - Yes, absolutely true.
After your father died, she was very worried about money.
She didn't know whether she was going to manage.
I didn't have any liquid cash, Spencer was managing all the accounts.
And my grandmother gave me that clock on my 21st birthday, - so it was mine to give.
- But why didn't you say anything when the police were brought in? - We were all questioned and Dawn took the brunt of it.
- I know.
I know I should've done the proper thing and owned up.
- But if it was a genuine gift? - It was.
I suppose I thought that she was going to sell it straight away before anybody noticed and then keep the money as a sort of nest egg.
- But she kept the clock instead? - Yes, indeed.
He said he was coming back with his mates.
I didn't expect him to come back with a bloody gun.
Exactly how long was it after he left? Well, I went to the offy to get myself a bottle of vodka and then I went to get myself a hot dog cos I hadn't had owt to eat all day.
So about 40 minutes, maybe an hour.
And it was definitely him? Yeah.
Who else is it going to be? Kept saying he was going to kill me.
He's a psycho, that bloke.
He's proper mental.
Amy bloody hated him.
She was scared of him.
- How many times am I going to have to ask you? How much longer is this going to take? - Look, sit down.
- I won't tell you again.
- Never mind "sit down".
I not supposed to be here! My wife is Aw, for Christ's sake.
I just need to go home.
- Dawn's supposed to be resting.
- Andrew Stevenson, you are charged contrary to section one of the criminal attempts act 1981 - that you attempted to murder Nicholas Harrison.
- Charged?! You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention now - something which you later rely on in court.
- Attempted? Are you insane? - Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
- He tried to kill me! Not having this.
- Andy, just pack it in, will you? - Calm down! - I'm going to sue the arse off the lot of you! - You're going in a cell.
- I'm not going in.
I'm not going in there.
I'm not going in! - I haven't done anything! - You're not making it easy on yourself, mate.
Bastards! I haven't done anything! Open the door! Open the door, you bastards! Look, will you calm down, Mother? It's no good getting yourself into a state.
I don't think it's a good idea, you leaving Hazelwood.
Have you spoken to the solicitor? I've left him five messages.
Evidently today is his annual leave day.
He's not even answering his mobile phone.
Well, I know for a fact you're entitled to half of whatever the old boy got for the place.
But nearly all of that went on paying off the bank.
Yes, and he turned down a significantly greater offer without even consulting you.
He can't do that.
Where ARE you, Spencer? You're never there when I need you.
I am having to handle all of this on my own! Trying to sort things out now we can't rely on selling the paintings any more.
Oh, yes -- do you remember that clock that went missing a few years back? The Swiss one? I found out today that he gave it to the cook.
- 'What?' - Yes, that's right -- Julie! - 'Really?' - He just gave it away.
And all the fuss he made about the damn stupid paintings going missing.
I'm glad that we sold them.
Serves him bloody well right.
- I just wish that we'd sold a few more.
- And that, my dear, will be your share of Hazelwood.
I'll have to ring you back, darling.
Bye.
How did you get up here? You shouldn't climb the stairs without someone to help you.
Tell me, was that Spencer, or your friend William Fawcett? I don't want to talk to you.
I have nothing to say to you.
Well, I have.
It appears we won't be able to claim on the insurance for the picture after all, because John Kempt's memory served him well.
Both the pictures were sold to China.
The Reynolds in 2012 and the Gainsborough last year.
They were sold from a small, private auction house called Cavendish.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, my dear, but we never legally changed Spencer's name from Cavendish to Hazelwood, did we? No.
Because you refused to adopt him! Maybe if you had he would've turned out - differently.
- I very much doubt that.
Oh, you made it very clear that he wasn't your beloved Edwin.
- That's ridiculous.
- No, it's not.
It's the truth.
You didn't bond with him, and that was incredibly painful for me.
If I'm honest, I don't think you ever loved me either.
I certainly never felt loved.
Maybe that's why I turned to William.
Maybe you're right.
I know what you mean, though.
It's a bit odd, with the clock and everything.
- I'd like to stay at yours again tonight.
- What did you say? - That's if you still want me to? - Of course! - And you know there's absolutely no pressure to - Well, you go off and do what you've got to do, and I'll see you back at the cottage.
- I've just got to go talk to my mum and get a few bits and pieces.
- OK.
Just seen Lady Hazelwood leaving in a taxi.
Really? She'll be off to her bridge class.
What? There's just something I don't understand.
Why would Lord Hazelwood give you a clock that's worth £250,000? Do you know, these logs are never going to burn.
- They're still damp.
I'll get Godfrey.
- Will you talk to me? What do you want to know, love? If he did give you the clock, he must've really cared about you.
I mean, to give you something that's so valuable, and something that meant something to him emotionally.
Did you know his grandmother gave it to him for his 21st birthday? Yeah.
Yeah, he did mention that.
Did he have feelings for you? Mum? JULIE CLEARS HER THROA JULIE SIGHS Right.
It was a very long time ago, before he married Lady Hazelwood.
And before you ask, he didn't take advantage of me or owt like that.
It were after the first Lady Hazelwood died and he was so lonely, and And I was having a bad time with your dad.
- Are you saying you had an affair when you were married to - No, I wouldn't call it that.
It didn't last long.
But you were unfaithful to him? - That's terrible! - Listen to me.
Your dad was getting blind drunk and once or twice a month, he'd go off on one of his benders and he wouldn't come home for two or three days at a time.
Can you imagine what that was like for me? And if I asked him where he'd been, he'd fly off the bloody handle with me.
- I never saw him touch a drop! - Yes.
Yes, love, that's because he gave it up when he found out I was pregnant.
- He got help.
- I can't believe you'd do that to my dad.
Oh, my God! Sarah! KNOCKING AT DOOR Sarah, what's wrong? What is it? - Hey, come on.
- SHE SOBS Nothing's that bad.
Rachel's gone.
I'm sorry.
No.
No, actually, I'm not sorry.
I'm bloody glad to see the back of the woman.
You're upset.
Is everything all right? Not really.
I told Sarah.
She's not pleased with me.
- The clock? - Yeah, the clock.
I knew it.
I'm so sorry.
Is there anything I can do? Oh, she'll come round eventually.
Well, maybe if I Maybe if I talk to her? If I explain, you know, how we felt about each another? And how did we feel? Well, I know how I felt.
I loved you.
I was devastated when you ended it.
Really? Yes.
I couldn't understand how you could be so matter of fact.
It would've helped if you had said that at the time.
- I thought I was just some distraction for you.
- What? - How could you think that? - Anyway, we could never have made a go of it.
And the longer it went on, the harder it would have been for both of us.
Well, why couldn't we have made a go of things? We'd have been the talk of Scarborough.
Lord Hazelwood and the assistant cook.
I wouldn't have given a damn what anybody thought.
I loved you too much to let you be a laughing stock.
Anyway, Mrs Cavendish were moving in on you by then.
- Well, yes, but she was never really in for - She was.
She was.
You just couldn't see it.
She'd turn up at the house, perfumed up to the eyeballs, with flowers and stuff.
She started bossing us about, you know? Organising her dinner parties, opera evenings.
- Don't you remember? - Yes.
But I wasn't interested in Rachel.
It was you I wanted to be with.
Don't say that.
Well, it's the truth.
And you told me that you wanted to make a go of your marriage.
That's because I thought there was no chance for us.
[HE SIGHS.]
Then, of course, when you got pregnant It wasn't Ken's baby.
What? Ken couldn't have children.
We went for tests when I didn't fall on.
Turns out he was infertile.
- Think that's why he drank.
- I don't understand.
He never once asked who the father was and I never told him.
It were the great unsaid.
But he loved her like she was his own.
Are you telling me? Are you telling me that the baby was mine? She wasn't born two months early, like I told everybody.
She was full term.
In fact, I went ten days over with her.
For long enough I thought you knew.
She's the double of that portrait -- you know, in the long gallery? Oh! Lady Whitson Jones? Yeah, that's right.
Your great-granny.
She's the spit of her.
The times I tried to tell you, tell her, but I I couldn't.
It was like I'd bottled it up for so long, I just couldn't bring myself to say it.
Say the words.
Sarah's your daughter.
You need to trust me.
Everything I knew and everything I believed in is a lie! We want to talk to you about Amy! There's no need for that! I was trying to protect you.
AMY!
