How fitting that you should all
return to the scene of your crime.
You are responsible for the
death of Edwina Kenchington.
Nurse Kenchington.
Give it to me!
One of you has my locket.
But, Mummy!
You're alive.
Give me my locket!
I need it, you lunatics.
Mummy!
***.
I ordered Mr Jolly, J-O-L-L-Y.
You've sent me Jelly, J-E-L-L-Y
No, I'm Mr Jelly,
I'm not dead, I'm alive!
For fu
I don't believe it!
Y something B, sweet potato?
Sorry, ma'am? 15 across,
Y something B, sweet potato.
Ah, That'll be a yam, ma'am.
Yam? Yes, ma'am.
Y-A-M? Yes, ma'am.
So "agricultural term"
isn't "arable".
***.
Do you have any news for me, Kelvin?
Yes, we have all eyes on the
Ravenhill patients
and our operatives
are awaiting your instructions.
Have you located the dwarf?
Not at present, ma'am, no.
Mr Jelly is attending the funeral
of Dr Strachen aka Mr Jolly,
and we believe Oscar Lomax
and Michael Fry to be en route.
And this is in? Manchester.
Mm-hmm.
And the Aston woman?
Oh, yes.
At home in Bristol.
Our intel seems to suggest that
the husband is in the process
of moving out.
Well, I don't like all this.
Sorry, ma'am?
All these bits of paper everywhere.
I want to be like Judi Dench,
doing this with things on a screen
We can do that, can't we?
We can certainly look
into it for you, ma'am.
Yes.
Good, because this is all too random.
I want to feel like I'm in Minority
Report, not a village post office.
Very good, ma'am.
Keep up the surveillance, 24 hours.
One of these characters is going
to lead us to our item, and we
don't want to miss it when they do.
No loose ends, remember, Kelvin?
No loose ends.
You made it then?
Yeah, we had to get the train
cos I'm not allowed to drive yet,
isn't that right, Mr Lomax? Eh?
I said I'm not allowed to drive.
Quarter past five, already?
Thought I was a bit peckish.
Still no better then? No.
They said it could take weeks.
Both the eardrums were What is it?
Perforated.
No, it's just
Mellow Bird's.
Want some?
No, you're all right, thanks.
Suit yourself.
'I hope you're hungry! I've got a big
bowl here.
It's your favourite!'
Mashed swede.
Here we are, my angel.
Here comes the train, and the train
goes into the tunnel Choo-choo!
Choo-choo.
There, there.
All packed up, George? Yes.
I just came to leave the keys.
How's Jennifer? Jennifer?
Oh, yes! She's very well, thank you.
Aren't you, my lovely little girl?
Good.
So you'll be going to stay
with Nicola then, I expect?
No.
No, she died, Joy.
Oh, dear.
As you know she lost a lot
of blood in the explosion
Oh, Yes, that's right, she did.
So they brought her back here
for a full transfusion.
Seven pints.
But the blood was contaminated.
It should have been AB positive,
but when they tested it
it was Ribena.
Vimto.
Sorry? Nothing.
Still, no point
crying over spilt milk.
Nope.
Goodbye, Joy.
Oh, Well, looks like it's just me
again, my little Freddie Fruitcake!
Her name is Jennifer.
I know.
Her family will be over soon,
and they'll be taking Jennifer
back home with them, I expect.
Yes, well.
We'll see about that.
In the meantime I'm going to give
her the best care a mother can,
aren't I, my lovely little Fre
Jennifer?
Freddie.
Freddie,
Freddie, Freddie
Gentlemen
Come to make sure that your
assailant is safely ensconced in his
grave? Yeah, something like that.
We've just had confirmation that
Jolly's mother died this morning.
Edwina Kenchington? I still
don't believe that's a proper name.
As we weren't able to interview her,
I wanted to ask you once again
if you can recall anything
she said that could explain
her actions that night?
No, it was ridiculous.
Jolly did his big speech about
revenge for someone killing his
mother,
then out of nowhere she bursts in,
babbling on about a locket
or summat!
He didn't even know she was alive!
We said this, didn't we?
Why did she wait two years to come
back and tell him she wasn't dead?
I'm sorry, it was a pathetic ending.
Keep your voice down, Jelly!
Apparently that pig's
been sniffing round again!
He's already here, Mr Lomax.
Eh? The pig He's here.
Oh.
Well, we don't know
anything about anything.
You said she was babbling about
what, a locket? Yeah.
No!
No.
Just What?
Her pocket.
She was going on about
a clown's pocket.
It's slang for big ***.
Yeah.
Like a wizard's sleeve.
A yawning donkey.
Maybe she was just showing off.
Maybe.
Well,
I shan't trouble you any longer.
If anything else occurs to you,
you've got my numbers.
I'll be in touch.
What was all that about? Listen,
I've been doing some digging, yeah.
Apparently Kenchington
had been scamming money
out of the hospital for years,
building herself a little nest-egg
That's why she went missing.
Waiting for the heat to die down,
then come back and get the dosh.
So what's in that locket?
Like a key, or a map, or summat?!
I don't know.
I just think we should
keep what we know to ourselves.
See where it leads.
Tea Leaf, you're such an idiot
you've put my bloody phone
in my lunchbox!
See you later.
See you.
Hello, this is Brook Street Library,
just ringing to let you know
that The Other Side Of Truth
by Beverley Naidoo
has been returned to us
and I've popped it behind the desk
for you.
Thank you very much.
Oh, excuse me.
I think we're a book missing.
Sorry?
Well, I have The Secret and Peter
Ackroyd's London, but we're missing
Of The British Isles, Volume Two.
Which one, sorry?
Of The British Isles, Volume Two.
Yes! I got it out
for my mother, actually,
it must be somewhere in the house.
Can I have a look for it
and bring it in tomorrow?
You can but as of 4pm today
the book will be overdue,
and that will incur you a 5p fine for
every day that it's left unreturned.
OK, well, I'm sure I can find it
I'll get it to you by the end of
the week.
Today, tomorrow or Friday?
No, it won't be today.
Tomorrow or Friday, but you do have
the book, it's in the house, and you
can get it to us by Friday, latest.
Well, whenever.
No, not whenever.
Tomorrow or Friday.
Yes.
Do you know which?
Cos I'm not in on Fridays.
I'm not sure, to be honest with you.
What difference does it make?
All right.
And what happens
if I can't find the book?
What, ever?
Yes, I've lost it, say.
I get home have a look around
It's gone.
What then?
Well, then we'd have to charge
you for the price of a replacement
which is £5,
plus the outstanding fine of 15p,
which would come to a total of
£5.
15.
£5.
15.
OK, thank you.
But hopefully that won't
'And what happens
if I can't find it?'
'I've lost it.
Get home, have a look around
and find it's gone.
What then?'
Not now, Silent Singer.
Jelly, isn't it?
No, I think it's a trifle.
No, I mean your clown name.
Mr Jelly.
Yeah.
You're the first person to get
that right in about ten years.
We haven't met.
Arthur Chadwick, clown name Chuckles.
I'm chairman of Focky.
Whatty? FOCCE.
Federation of Clowns
and Children's Entertainers.
I don't think we've got you down
as a member.
No, I've got all the forms but
I can never
find a pen in me house.
You should join,
because we're a good union
and we do a lot of work with disabled
clowns such as yourself.
What other
ones are there? Willy Wheels.
He's got Cornwall covered.
There's
a young clown just joined, Dumplings.
He's got Down's Syndrome
Right.
Well, I'll have
a think about it.
Listen
I know you and Stuart didn't get on
too well in the latter years
Stuart? Oh, you mean Jolly.
Well, you know he stole my act?
Those allegations
have been well documented.
Now, listen,
what I am trying to say is,
that we've got these personal effects
of Stuart's that we need to bequeath
and we thought you might be
interested in them.
Oh, right.
So finally, I get all my old tricks
back! Eh, not all of them, no.
The big-box stuff has been
auctioned off for Cairoli Foundation,
looking after old
and retired entertainers.
I'll be eligible for that
meself next year.
Time to hang up the nose, eh?
Well, I can see why you call
yourself Chuckles! I was enjoying
this funeral till you turned up!
And yeah, I'll gladly dispose of
that lot for you in the bin.
Smart ***.
David, leave Mrs Barron's
things alone,
her husband'll be here in a minute.
When did she die? Last night.
It was like a disco in here
with that machine going off,
I've not slept a wink.
Come on then, what've you brought me?
Oh, David, how many times do
I have to tell you? I said grapes!
I forgot.
What am I meant to do
with all these?
You know I don't like things with
pips, they remind me of little teeth!
Sorry.
She's got some bananas
I'm not eating a dead woman's
bananas! Leave her some dignity.
Have you brought me anything to read?
Yeah.
I Only Ever Loved An Angel -
The Life And Times Of Fred West.
Well, that's really going to
cheer me up, isn't it?
It's all about Rose.
She's the one who made him
do the murders, apparently.
Oh, Hello Mrs Sowerbutts,
how are we feeling today?
Much better, thanks.
Good-o.
Might I have a quick word
with your son, please? In private.
Go on, David.
The good news is that there's
no damage to your mother's liver
as a result of the overdose,
so we'll be able to
discharge her today.
Thank you.
There is, however,
some not-so-good news.
When we performed
the gastric irrigation and X-ray,
we found something rather disturbing
in your mother's stomach.
Not like Marc Almond?
No, no, that's just myth.
Two pints, apparently,
and some of it was equine
No, what we found was
a shadow on her pancreas
which after further testing
appears to be a malignant tumour.
But she doesn't like tuna.
No, tumour.
A cancer.
Non-operable, I'm afraid.
Oh.
What does that mean?
Well
you're going to save money
on Christmas presents.
The important thing is
that in the time she has left
she has a stress-free environment
in which to manage her condition
Hi, Hattie.
My God, miracle of miracles,
he's not dead!
I'm really sorry, Hats.
It's just
You know what it's like.
Come here, I'm only pulling your leg.
Give us a huggle.
You smell gorgeous, is that CK One?
Let's get you a brew
I'm too excited, I'm going to get
my electric cigarette out.
I'm trying to think of the last time
I saw you.
You didn't do
any dailies on Spooks, did you?
No.
I've been on Cranford
all summer.
That's right,
I've heard they're all mad.
Who did make-up on that? Veronica.
Is she behaving?
What do you think?
Drink, sir?
Coffee, please.
And the mother? No, I'm fine thanks.
Actually, do you have, like,
a raspberry tea or a peppermint tea?
I have got chronic period pain.
Erm
Never mind, I'll just have
a sparkly water with lemon, please.
OK.
Please.
He's bonny, isn't he?
Lovely eyelashes.
So, what's been happening?
Give me the goss.
Well, the big news is
I've started seeing someone.
It's early days
but it's quite serious.
Oh, congratulations!
Yeah, I'm really happy.
Oh, I wish I was.
Oh, back at last!
No need to carry me
all the way up them stairs, David.
It's all right.
Thirteen flights.
I know who it is, you know,
piddling in the lifts.
It's them from number 16.
Mr Heyward said he found
a human tod in there last week.
Imagine that! A human tod.
Ah, you've pushed the beds
together, David.
How thoughtful.
What's the matter? What's wrong?
Not again!
Who could have sent it to you?
They're all dead.
Not all of them.
So, go on then, who is he/
Fill me in.
His name's Shahrouz
and he's Iranian Oh, my God!
He's a very gifted pianist
and he came over here to study
at the Guildhall.
Oh, chucky butty!
I am so happy for you.
There's a bit of a problem.
He's on a three-year student visa
and it runs out next month.
If we can't get him a new one,
that's it.
He'll be deported.
And can't you go over there
and live with him? Not really.
For one thing, it's illegal
to be gay over there.
Course it is, you forget.
I mean, you know me, Chris,
I'm broad-minded.
When I did the cruise ships, I shared
a cabin with a lesbian fire-eater
whose breath stank, by the way.
Don't ask me what of,
cos I don't know and I never asked.
So what if he got a job here,
would that help?
He's got a job,
but it's only cash in hand.
He's a waiter.
In a cafe
You don't mean?
Yeah.
That's Shahrouz.
Shahrouz!
Oh, Chris, he's gorgeous!
Yeah, he is.
Will you marry him for me?
Never ever forget
That I got you
And you got
Thank you.
Thank you.
Don't strain yourself.
Well, I've got all I need
and we've got your details
so we'll be in touch.
Thank you.
Emily, would you
show the next person in, please?
Excuse me, you can't just
Oh, it's OK, Emily.
I know this young man.
Hello, David!
Leave my mother out of this,
it's got nothing to do with her!
And it's straight into the improv.
Well, Erm
I say your mother is a witch
and must be tried
by the same jurisdiction.
Who's he calling a witch?
Cheeky ***!
I don't want you to contact me
or my mother any more.
And break!
Good.
Well, obviously I know
you have the skill set
for this position.
What have you been up to since
the last time we worked together?
I killed three people.
Yes,
we've finished the improv, David.
Do your song!
He's got a beautiful singing voice.
What song have you chosen?
Les Miserables.
Ah, The Glums!
Away you go.
Before you say
another word, Javert!
Before you chain me up
like a slave again
Listen to me
There is something I must do
Well, that sounds
This woman leaves behind
a suffering child
There is none but me
who can intercede
In mercy's name
Three days are all I need
And then I'll return
I pledge my word
And then I'll return
David! Now isn't the time
to get into all this.
Perhaps Robin would like to come over
to our flat tomorrow
and have his tea and
discuss how best
to resolve the situation.
Tomorrow night? Well, Erm
Let's see.
Emily, how am I fixed
for tomorrow night?
I've no idea.
Thank you.
Well, then in that case,
I'd be honoured.
One thing -
I mustn't touch any peanuts.
I was once hospitalised
by a Bakewell tart.
Well, see you tomorrow, then.
Bye!
Are you all right, Mum? Yeah.
If he thinks he's going to
get one over on us
he's got another thing coming.
Oh.
Just play carefully,
I won't be a minute.
No getting out, you might slip!
Any joy? Sorry?
Of The British Isles Volume Two?
Oh.
Oh, its you?
No.
Sorry, what are you doing here?
Just thought if you'd found it
I could pick it up and take it in
tomorrow.
Save you the 5p.
I haven't found it.
I haven't even looked for it.
Now, if you don't mind, I'm busy.
Who is it, Mum? No-one.
For God's sake!
Would you like ME to look for it
for you? No, I wouldn't!
Now, go away,
or I'm calling my husband.
Why, do you think he might know
where it is? No! Look, go away.
This is ridiculous.
Not now, Silent Singer!
Not now!
Jolly
What were you thinking?
I've hated you for so long.
And now you've gone
and I haven't even got that.
I am J-O-L-L-Y
I am J-O-L-L-Y
I think I am, I'm sure I am
I am J-O-L-L-Y
I am J-O-L-L-Y.
You've still got a few tricks
up your sleeve, haven't you, Jolly?
So her brain is still functioning,
they think? Oh, yes.
It's very common with trauma victims.
Complete body shut down,
but she's in there somewhere.
Well.
Apparently Kenchington
had been living in Salzburg
for the last couple of years.
Ooh! Under an assumed name.
We think she faked her own death in
the fire at Ravenhill two years ago.
Oh! But for some reason she
came back to see all of you.
What did she want, do you think?
I've got no idea.
We all thought she was dead.
Next thing we knew she came in
with her face burnt off
asking about some locket.
What did she say, exactly?
About this locket?
Well, she thought one of us had it,
thought one of us had stolen it.
And had you? Not that I know of.
Now, if you don't mind, Inspector,
I think I can smell
the beginnings of a full ***.
Of course.
I notice Jennifer's got some
movement in her left hand.
Oh, yes.
We've been practising
writing your name,
haven't we, Jennifer?
Do you mind if I try something?
No, no be my guest.
But there is
a ticking clock on that ***.
Jennifer
can you remember anything
about this locket?
If you can, let us know.
Oh, no.
And there's nothing
you haven't thought of that might
help jog her memory?
No, No.
Well, I've told you everything.
In that case
Thanks for your help, Jennifer.
Don't tell anyone I was here,
will you?
