"Damn and blast!" "There's got to be a few here somewhere." "Ah!" "Oh..." "Are you spying on me, girl?" "Couldn't Tommy do that for you, Sir John?" "I know he's here." "No, he's not." "He was seen." "Someone spoke to him not far from here." "You misunderstand me." "He was here, but he is no longer." "I don't understand." "He went out fishing." "Something for the supper." "He never came home."

"Down there - look." "That's him." "Sir, there's something on the back of the head." "A wound." "How's that happened, do you think?" "Well, he could have fallen." "Trying to get away, stumbling along in the dark." "Full moon last night, wasn't it?" "Or he was hit." "He is a German, after all." "That's enough motive for some." "Rose?" "Go and play, Daniel."

"She and her husband had an argument about Johann Schultz." "I see." "So, he left here at the usual time yesterday?" "Yes." "That was the last you saw of him?" "Because where his body was found suggests that he was either on his way here or... coming back from here." "But erm...you couldn't confirm that?" "No." "But I gather you weren't here last night." "I stayed with Sam." "Any particular reason for that?" "I had some shopping to do in town." "I didn't want to cycle back in the blackout." "Hmm." "What about you, Mr Dawson?" "What about me?" "Were you here last night?" "Yeah." "I was here all night." "I had a bit to drink." "I fell asleep." "I didn't see him." "How difficult was it, coming back home, after five years in a prisoner-of-war camp, to find a German working on your farm?" "Well, he did his job." "Impossible not to understand whatever resentment you might have felt, in the circumstances." "So, I didn't like him." "Not a crime, is it?" "We're fighting the bastards, for God's sake." "But I didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking." "How did YOU get on with him?" "He was a lovely boy." "I'm so sad he's dead." "I don't know how I'm going to explain it to my son." "He adored him." "JOY:" "To think of him shut away in that place - it's unbearable to me." "DR CAMPBELL:" "It has to be that way." "You know that." "Hold me." "Kiss me." "Chief Superintendent."

"Mrs Phelps is under great strain." "She needs a great deal of support." "Yeah, I can see." "How's er..." "Dr Novak, by the way, since he's been back at work?" "I wanted him to take more time off."

"Perhaps I shouldn't be asking for your help, then." "In spite of you having seen him, the boy seems to have gone missing again." "Odd." "Why should he do that?" "And it seems that...you were the last to see him." "How was he?" "Calm." "We had a good talk." "There was a distressing incident at work." "That's why he ran away." "And where did you see him?" "At the pond, fishing, quite happily." "I should also mention that I've been to see Peter Phelps." "I've told you who killed that shabby little man, Worth." "Yes, well..." "I'd say you didn't have it in you to kill." "I think you're allowing friendship to interfere with the prosecution of your job." "It never has before." "I'd also say you're ignoring the lessons of recent history." "Think of all those men who led such unremarkable lives till '39." "We gave them a uniform, a gun and a mandate." "Kill, we said." "And they have, unblinkingly, in vast numbers." "Mr Foyle, I sent off the coupon." "Excellent." "What coupon's that?" "From the paper." "The football pools." "The War Cup."

"I used the random system, Sergeant." "But you can't do that, sir." "No, you have to look at the teams, work out which is better and how, and decide." "That's how you win." "Well, science was never my strong point." "Well, we'll see which comes out on top, shall we, sir?" "Science or chance." "We will." "Sir, we've had the MO's report on Johann Schultz." "Ah, right." "Port Vale - what a lovely name." "It sounds such a peaceful place." "Where is it, exactly?" "Somewhere up north." "He can't say exactly what caused the head injury." "There were fragments of stone in the wound, but whether they're the result of a fall or a blow, he can't say." "Mm-hm." "But he did find something else." "There was no water in his lungs." "He didn't drown." "He was dead before he went into the lake." "Right." "Someone killed him?" "Looks like it, yes." "Jesus!" "That's..." "I need a smoke." "You liked him, didn't you?" "Bloody hell." "What happened between Fred Dawson and Johann yesterday?" "Nothing happened." "He thought there was something going on between Johann and Rose." "Yesterday afternoon, it all blew up." "Bit of a fight." "Nothing much." "Fred was no match for Johann." "I took him away." "Fred and Rose had things to sort out." "When Johann escaped, do you think it was to go back to Down End Farm?" "I don't know." "Maybe he was worried about Rose." "She was...kind to him." "Fred - very angry yesterday?" "A bit." "How angry?" "Look, it's not going to be me that puts the noose round Fred's neck." "Just for killing a Jerry." "But if he'd done or said anything he perhaps shouldn't have, you'd tell us, wouldn't you?" "Of course." "And you'd tell us because," "German or not, whether you liked him or not, this man's been beaten to death and that's wrong." "You'd agree?" "Yes." "How angry?" "He said, if he ever came back to the farm again, he'd kill him." "There." "I've said it." "God forgive me." "I'm under arrest?" "There are questions you need to answer about the death of Johann Schultz." "Oh, Fred..." "Please, if you'll come with us." "(DOG BARKING)" "Oh, Sam..." "I know." "It's going to be all right, Rose." "What if he did it?" "I'm telling you" " I never saw him again." "I downed half a bottle of Scotch and passed out." "I didn't wake till dawn." "Well, that's fine, except that nobody can vouch for it - you were on your own." "Yes." "What can be vouched for is your attack on Mr Schultz..." "No, that's..." "..the reason for your attack..." "I was angry" " I admit that." "..and your threat to kill Mr Schultz if he came back." "I didn't mean it!" "So, on the face of it, it looks to us as if that's what happened." "I didn't mean it." "It was just one of those things you say!" "It was just one of those things you say." "I didn't kill him." "And if he came back, I didn't see him."

"I don't know what's wrong with that lad." "I mean, I don't know what to say to him." "Jeannie would have got through to him." "She was good at that." "Your wife?" "She's passed away?" "Last July." "Just after Tommy came home." "She was in a baker's on the Commercial Road, getting a loaf for his sandwiches." "Doodlebug." "Killed everyone in the place." "I'm sorry." "Tommy was the first one there." "You know, what he must have seen, it don't bear thinking about." "But he never cried." "He always said he didn't want the war to end, so he could join up and get his own back." "Revenge, you mean?" "Oh, yeah." "Hates them, he does." "I don't know what he'd do if he met a Jerry in the street." "We know that Tommy was out and about the day that Schultz escaped." "Dr Novak saw him barely half a mile from the lake, so it gives him an opportunity, as well as a motive." "And how old is he?" "He's 15, but he's a big lad for his age." "And now he's disappeared."

"He knew it better than anybody." "I was wondering: could I take a look?" "Do." "And nobody's been in here - right?" "No, sir, apart from me and one of our men, when we were doing the search." "Find anything?" "Not really." "Ah...you're back." "Have you finished in here yet?" "Almost." "Good." "We're desperately short of space." "Mm-hm." "What does "not really" mean?" "There's a copy of a letter." "A reference from Dr Campbell in support of Worth's job application." "It doesn't quite tally with what Campbell said about him." "Perhaps he was just desperate to get rid of him." "Is that it?" "Yes, sir." "We've been through all the packing cases." "His desk, the rest of the furniture."

"I'll jump!" "I'm not scared." "Looking for this?" "Tell us what happened, Tommy." "I promise you it'll be for the best." "We know you didn't kill that man." "But you must have seen something." "I was trying my luck at the lake." "I got nothing in the pond." "Go on." "Two men" " I heard them talking on the path above the lake." "Then him - the one who fell - he walked on." "But the other man picks something up and he runs after the other bloke and he hit him over the head, like really hard, like this." "And then..." "Did you say his name was Johann?" "Was he really a Jerry?" "He was a prisoner of war." "See, I never knew that." "That he was German." "Then what happened?" "He fell down." "The other man bent down to look at him, and he put his head in his hands, like this." "Then he rolled him into the lake." "Not 20 yards away from where I was standing." "Who was it, Tommy?" "Who killed Johann?" ""Affair" makes it sound so grubby." "And that's not how it was." "But Worth was a nasty little shit." "He said something to me about Joy." "A lewd remark." "I snapped at him."

"Though I do now perhaps understand why it is that you tried to take the blame." "It was Peter, wasn't it?" "Well, I'd be very interested to hear why you're so convinced it was."
