Wendy Crisp goes into the sitting room to talk to Meg.  Adam Chance comes into the room and Wendy stands up.  "I shouldn't have bothered you," she says and leaves the room.  "What are you doing to that girl?" asks Meg.  Meg tells Adam that she found Hugh's old passport and it compares with that of Deborah Crisp.

 

Deborah Crisp gives Meg some letters which Hugh Mortimer sent to her, but Meg says she couldn't possibly read them.  "I do believe you," Meg tells her.  "I don't want you to believe me, I want you to know," says Deborah.

Charlie Forward comes into the garage and finds Benny and Joe working late.  He books his car in for a service and asks about Benny's car, and where he got it from.  Joe tells him that Benny bought it.

 

Adam Chance and David Hunter have a drink in the sitting room, and David asks Adam what it would take to get Mrs  Crisp to leave.  "It's almost as if she smelt blood and came here to tear Meg apart," says David.  "Blood.  That could be it.  If we could get them both to take a blood test," says Adam.  "It's a long shot," says David.  "But if we could prove that the blood groups are imcompatible," says Adam.  "Try it," David tells him.

 

Joe MacDonald tells Charlie Forward that Benny bought the car for well above the price it was worth.  Benny comes into the workshop and Joe tells him who Charlie Forward is.  "Is there something you want to ask him?" Joe asks Charlie Forward.  "Yes.  Where did you get that car?" Charlie asks Benny.  "I bought it.  It's mine," says Benny.  "No it's not, it's mine.  At least it was until it went missing a couple of weeks ago," says Charlie Forward.

 

 

Charlie Forward says his car was taken from his driveway a few weeks ago.  Benny tells him he has all the papers.  "Only because my wife left them in the glove compartment," says Charlie Forward.  "Does that mean he can take it away?" Benny asks Joe MacDonald.  "It looks like it," Joe tells him.

 

David Hunter comes into the garage at that moment and asks what is going on.  Joe tells him that Mr Forward says Benny's car belongs to him, and it was stolen.  David asks Benny if he had a receipt and Benny says no.  Charlie Forward tells Benny that if Benny can offer him a good price he can keep the car.  he suggests £600 but David laughs.  "£250" says David.  Charlie Forward asks Benny if he has registered the car but Benny says no. 

 

"Did you report the car stolen?" David asks Charlie Forward.  "Well, no," says Charlie Forward.  "Then you wouldn't mind if I got my solicitors in on this then?" asks David.  "We don't want to bother them," says Charlie Forward.  He tells Benny that he will give Benny back the money he spent doing the car up.  David asks Benny if he wants to keep the car but Benny says no, not if it's going to cause so much trouble.  David advises Benny to accept Mr Forwards offer.

 

Meg tries to phone Jill in Germany but can't get in touch with her.  "Someone should have gone with her," says Meg, anxiously.  "I did offer," David tells her.  "Did you?" asks Meg.  "Jill wouldn't have it.  We're not busy.  I'll go over there," says David.  Meg says if anyone is going then it should be her.  David says something to Meg in German.  "What does that mean?" asks Meg.  "You need an interpreter," replies David.  At that moment Jill comes into the room.
