[ Wind blowing ]
Oi, mate.
What was that, mate?
Trampoline.
Ah.
Any of you chaps see a trampoline?
Went that way.
Was there a child in it?
Don´t think so.
Right.
Is that good news?
Potentially.

♫ Will you search through the lonely earth for me ♫
♫ Climb through the briar and bramble? ♫
♫ I´ll be your treasure ♫
♫ I´m waiting for you ♫
ANDY: You said -- and I quote --
"I´ve got to give her space."
LANCE: I know.
You said you´d like Kate to call you Dad,
but it was too early, and you had to give her space.
I know.
And then you go and dump
45 individually wrapped birthday and Christmas presents on her?
I´ve been an idiot.
Surprised she didn´t call the police.
Terrified I´ve blown it.
Where´d she go?
[ Sighs ] Don´t know.
Not answering her phone.
Ah, she´s just gone to find
some of that space you said you´d give her.
She´ll be back.
Bloody hope so.
Oh, I got that job.
Yeah?
Yep.
Must be ´cause I mentioned Crackdust
and the Botswanian death-metal scene.
Must have been. You´re welcome.
So you´re gonna take it?
Don´t know.
You haven´t told Becky yet, have you?
Nope.
What´s the problem?
-Oh, I´m so scared, mate. -Of what?
Of taking my family out to the middle of nowhere --
to a malaria zone, for Christ´s sake --
and not knowing what the fuck I´m doing once I´m there.
Of not being able to cope
and Becky seeing me not being able to cope.
Feels like stepping off a cliff into the unknown.
Sometimes in life we have to step off cliffs.
That´s not an expression. Shut up.
Since meeting Kate, I --
Yeah, I know what you´re gonna say.
Since meeting your daughter for the first time,
it´s made you reevaluate what´s important in life
and made you determined to grab every opportunity
and not take anything for granted.
Not word for word, but along those lines.
Yeah, well, I´ve heard it all before.
Where?
On Oprah Winfrey, so back off.
I´m fed up with people trying to push me
in directions I don´t want to go.
You should take that job, mate.
You´ll regret it if you don´t.
When have you got to let them know by?
End of the week, I think.
It says in the letter.
-Bollocks. -What?
It´s not there. Must have fallen out.
Oh, well.
There you go. It´s a sign.
There´s no such thing as signs.
There are when you want there to be.
Peter, what´s going on?
Why aren´t you answering your phone?
I´ve had enough, Sophie.
I´m packing up, getting out of here.
I don´t know.
Terry and the others turned it into some stupid conspiracy,
and it spoiled for me.
I´m going home.
What, that´s it? You´re just going?
It´s not your fault, but the whole thing has gone sour.
They can have their rally, dig it all up.
It´s nothing to do with me anymore.
I´m sorry.
It was nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.
[ Sighs ]
Where are you?
No, change of plan. It has to be tonight.
Soon as you can.
Capital of Mongolia?
ANDY: Ulaanbaatar.
-[ Beeps ] -Knew it.
Uh, largest carnivore?
-Blue whale. -Land carnivore.
Bengal tiger.
[ Buzzes ]
-Polar bear. -Polar bear.
Surprising.
Here, you gonna be seeing your mate?
The foreign one.
-Peter, German? -Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
He left this here.
Oh, right. Yeah, I can give it to him.
-When was he in? -Earlier, with two others.
Was Sophie with him?
Nah, it was two blokes.
One with the hair and a short one.
Simon and Garfunkel.
They have their detectors with them?
I think so.
-Mate, you can´t do that. -Shut up.
What´s in there?
What did he say his grandfather´s name was?
Schneider.
Baumann.
Well, maybe it was his mum´s dad.
No, he said his grandmother was pregnant with his father
when the plane went down.
Well, there´s any number of reasons
he could have a different name.
Mate, it´s not looking good.
He´s after something else.
Surely all that buried gold stuff´s just Internet bullshit.
It´s a rural urban myth.
What was that?
Gold coin.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
It´s German. It´s got an eagle on it.
Is the eagle holding anything?
Yeah.
It´s holding a wreath.
Is there a symbol in the wreath?
Yeah.
We need to get hold of Terry.
Emergency meeting.
Second thoughts, Mike, we´ll leave it here, um,
in case he comes back for it.
Turns out we´re not thirsty.
LANCE: Heh.
Neither of us.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Lance, Andy.
Terence.
Come through to the operations room.
Everybody.
ALL: Lance. Andy.
Hello!
Oh, how exciting.
ALL: Sheila.
Oh, I wish I´d known you were all coming.
I´d have laid on a buffet.
Who would like some lemonade?
-Oh! Yes, please. -Yes, please, Sheila.
-Yeah. Oh, you should try some. -It´s good stuff.
-LANCE: Mmm, tasty. -ANDY: It really is.
Well, two please, Sheila.
-Go on, then. -Yes, please.
Oh! [ Laughs ]
So, what´s this about?
We don´t think Peter´s who he says he is.
We don´t think his grandfather was on that plane,
and he was seen drinking with the Dirt Sharks.
-I knew it. -Sneaky bastard.
And we´ve seen something
that might back up Varde´s buried-gold theory.
Why, what´d you see?
Well, don´t want to reveal too much at this stage.
But suffice it to say,
a large gold coin dropped out of his wallet.
What type of gold coin?
A bad gold coin.
No.
´Fraid so.
You mean a Na--
Not in this house, thank you, Russell.
We think they´re gonna hit that site.
-When? -Well, he knows we´re onto him.
Why else would he be drinking with the Dirt Sharks?
What, you think tonight?
We need to protect it.
I think you´re right. I think we need to get up there.
-All of us? -A stakeout?
Nothing more, nothing less, young Hugh.
Cool.
Right, so there are three ways into that field.
You´re gonna have to guard all three.
RUSSELL: Where will you be?
Sheila and I have got a prior engagement.
What? Where are you going?
Lindy Hop.
Well, can´t you forgo the Lindy Hop?
Well, Sheila´s been looking forward to the Lindy Hop.
So dance is more important than detecting?
No. But Sheila is.
So...
Who´s up for an all-nighter?
Lemonade!
-TERRY: Ahh! -SHEILA: Here.
-LANCE: Thanks, Sheila. -ANDY: Thank you.
The DMDC.
All: DMDC.
SHEILA: I´ll get it.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Oh, hello, Sophie.
Hi, Sheila. Are they here?
Yes! Yes, do come through.
-[ Inhales sharply ] -[ Coughs ]
Do you want some lemonade?
No, thanks.
Oh, Sophie, there you are.
What have you done?
What have we done?
I just spoke to Peter. He´s packing up and going.
You´ve driven him away.
-No, Sophie. -Yes, Andy.
He came to us asking for help
with a personal and emotional journey he was making.
And you´ve just turned it into a farce.
-Sophie... -You´re all so paranoid.
You think everybody´s out to take something from you.
Look, calm down, Sophie.
He´s been lying to us. He´s not even who he says he is.
Oh, who is he, then?
Well, his name´s not Schneider.
And that´s your proof?
He´s been seen drinking with the Dirt Sharks.
Yeah.
I bet he wishes he´d gone to them in the first place,
´cause they´re not gonna turn the whole thing into a carnival
and invite the local paper down.
[ Door opens ]
Oh. Christ.
Sophie, he´s a nighthawk.
No.
You´re wrong. I´ll prove it.
[ Slow acoustic guitar music plays ]
What´s going on?
I decided to go up there
before Terry and the rest go digging it all up.
Why? What´s up there?
You know what´s up there. I told you.
My grandfather´s plane.
But he wasn´t on it when it went down.
Yeah, but I still have a connection to it.
Won´t be the special moment I was hoping for,
but it´ll still be something.
They say you´re a liar, that Schneider isn´t even your name.
I never said my name was Schneider.
I have my stepfather´s name -- Baumann.
I thought we were spending the summer together.
We still can.
I´m sorry. I was angry before.
I don´t have to go home.
I´ll go in the morning. Just let me do this tonight.
Do you want me to help?
No. Thanks.
I think I want to do this on my own.
You won´t be able to take the van up that track,
so we should move the stuff on foot.
[ Sighs ]
Hello, Kate?
It´s your dad. No, it´s Lance.
Uh, just thought I´d leave you a message.
Another message.
Ignore the other seven.
I just wondered if I was gonna see you again.
That´s all.
And sorry about all the Christmas and birthday presents.
Don´t know what I was thinking.
I´m gonna load them all up in the car
and take them down the charity shop on Monday.
You were probably never into Evel Knievel anyway.
I think that was probably for me.
But I-I do want you to keep that pocket money I saved you.
Yeah, that´s yours.
You can give it away if you want,
but I-I want you to have it.
[ Sighs ]
Maybe, you know,
let me know if you want me to send it on anywhere.
Text me the address if it´s easier.
Okay.
Um, bye.
Come on, V, why the silent treatment?
[ Sighs ]
[ Birds calling ]
RUSSELL: Did you tell your parents?
HUGH: Tell them what?
RUSSELL: That you were going to be up late?
HUGH: No.
Do you want me to give them a ring?
Not really, no.
Funny, you never think you´ll actually end up on a stakeout.
This is the third stakeout I´ve been on.
Yeah? What were the other two?
Oh, first was protecting a giant vegetable
the night before an important horticultural show.
It´s a long story. I didn´t grow it.
-Pumpkin? -Marrow.
The other one?
Oh, well, I staked out an ex-girlfriend´s house,
see who she was going out with.
-What? -Mate, that´s stalking.
No.
No, it would have become stalking
if I´d have done it loads.
How many times did you do it?
Mm, three or four.
[ Up-tempo jazz music playing ]
[ Groans softly ]
[ Groans ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
Terry to Cobb´s Lane.
Come in Cobb´s Lane. Over.
This is Cobb´s Lane. Go ahead, Lindy Hop. Over.
Anything to report? Over.
Negative, Terence.
Nothing come through the Cobb´s Lane access
in either direction.
Over.
There´s no activity down by the site?
Over.
We don´t actually have an eyeball on the site, Terence,
from where we are.
Over.
Copy that.
Keep the access point under surveillance
and stand by for further instructions.
Over.
Juliet Bravo.
Come in, Ashdown Road. Over.
Go ahead. Over.
Anything happening down there? Over.
Negative.
Uh, no. No suspicious activity here.
Over.
Do you have a good view of the crash site?
Over.
No. Not from here, Terry.
It´s the other side of the hill from us.
Over.
Copy that. Over.
Terry to Danebury Road. Do you read me?
Over.
Danebury Road receiving you. Over.
Louise, tell me you can see the crash site from where you are.
Over.
Um, that´s a negative, Terry. Not from this position.
Am I to understand that not one of you
can see the actual site that we´re supposed to be watching?
Over.
LANCE: Seems about the size of it, Terry.
RUSSELL: Looks that way, Terry, yes.
LOUISE: That´s an affirmative.
Over.
Which one of you´s closest? Over.
LANCE: That´ll be us, Terry. Cobb´s Lane.
You want us to take a wander over?
Over.
Might be an idea, Lance.
Let´s hit it.
[ Slow acoustic guitar music plays ]
[ Whispering ] Shit!
Come in, Terry. Over.
Go ahead. Over.
We´re too late.
Nighthawks.
How did they get there?
Don´t know. Didn´t come past any of us.
Well, how many? Over.
LANCE: Four. At least three with detectors.
Right. I´m gonna call the police.
You sit tight and do not let them know you´re there.
Things can turn nasty with these sorts of people.
I´ll drop Sheila home, and then I´ll get straight down there.
Over and out.
Can you see any of their faces?
No.
Pretty sure it´s Peter and the Dirt Sharks,
but there´s somebody else standing further away,
just seems to be watching.
Anyone doing any gold dancing?
No.
Do nighthawks do a gold dance when they find gold?
I don´t know. Does seem a bit frivolous.
[ Metal detector beeping ]
Come on, your detector´s beeping!
Why aren´t you digging?
They´re all false signals.
There´s so much scrap metal around.
The ground´s all mineralized. Burned from the explosion.
Doesn´t this piece of junk have a gold setting?
The Arado 120B
is a highly sophisticated deep-seeking metal detector.
I don´t understand why a German bomber going over England
would be carrying gold.
Isn´t that a ridiculous idea?
[ Siren wailing ]
Shit.
Oh!
Oh.
Oh!
No.
The Arado!
You imbecile!
Stay down and keep your hands where I can see ´em.
I knew this would happen. I knew this would happen.
I´ve stopped! There! I´ve stopped.
I´m not trying to get away!
Oh!
I´m not resisting!
Aah! You´re pulling my hair! Aah!
-Come here! -[ Groans ]
Stop resisting and calm down, you big girl!
Get -- Get off me!
[ Snoring ]
Margarine.
-I haven´t done anything wrong. -Why were you running, then?
I didn´t know who you were.
How many of you are there?
I didn´t even want to come. Wasn´t trying to get away.
How many more?
There were four of them.
OFFICER: What are your names?
Philip Peters.
Paul Lee.
Where are the other two?
I don´t know.
Right, what are you doing here?
Nighthawking. That´s what they´ve been doing.
How dare you?!
We have permission to be here.
At 2:00 in the morning?
Who do you have permission from?
From me.
OFFICER: And you are...?
I´m the mayor. This is my land.
And you know these two men?
Yes.
And you gave them permission to be here?
Mm-hmm.
So, what´s the -- Why -- Why are --
LANCE: Here comes Terry.
We´ve hit a snag, Terry.
Seems the mayor has given them permission to dig.
TERRY: No, actually.
You can´t give them permission to dig here.
Because I´ve got the license from the MOD
that says that this is a protected place.
Wrong.
The Protection of Military Remains Act 1986
states that this is a controlled site.
What´s the difference?
Do you know what?
I know I should know the difference
between a protected place and a controlled site
according to the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986,
but right now I can´t bring it to mind.
I shall have to look it up.
In a book.
And my book is back at the station.
So who´d like to come to the station?
We´ll all go.
I´ll give some of you a lift.
[ Door unlocks, opens ]
Hey.
What you doing up?
I´ve got a three-month-old baby.
Oh, yeah.
How was your stakeout?
Yeah, we caught three of the bad guys, but one got away.
Is he asleep?
Just gone down.
Did you hear about that job yet?
No, not yet.
No?
I got some good news today.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
I´ve been accepted on VSO.
Right. So, what does that mean?
It means me and Stanley are going to Botswana.
Without me?
You can do what you like, Andy. I really don´t care.
Becky?
You are a fucking liar, Andy.
I know you got that job, because I saw the letter.
But you´re too spineless to tell me about it.
So me and Stanley will go to Botswana on our own,
and you can stay here and play stakeouts
with your metal-detecting friends.
-You can´t -- -Just watch me.
For Christ´s sake, Becky, this isn´t fair.
You just come up with a plan and forged ahead with it,
knowing that I don´t think it´s the right thing to do.
I didn´t come up with any plan. We both did.
We´ve always said we´d go to Africa.
We´ve been saying it for years.
I thought you were joking.
I wasn´t joking.
I fell in love with you because you´re a dreamer.
But when it comes to the crunch, you don´t act on those dreams.
Because if you don´t act on them,
there´s no risk of failure or disappointment.
What other things we said we´d do were you joking about?
