Tink is working.
Eric's trying to.
Freddy the Phone hasn't raised .
He's not even thinking of risking a homecoming.
- How would you spell satin?
On?
- Hmm?
- As in Satinwood inlaid marquetry, circa 1850.
- Oh, the tripod table, one T. - Don't know how to spell marquetry, do you?
- Of course I do.
- Oh, and add probably by Samuel Parnaby of Sandwich, Ken.
Nope.
Make that possibly.
- Samuel Parnaby.
I've never he.
- Neither have I.
Sounds right, doesn't it?
- Want this on the trailer, Lov?
- Mhm.
Everything's gotta go to the west end showroom.
- What you mean Vicki's flat?
- [Reporter On Television] Voicing their protest at the Department of the Environment's decision last month to allow development on a Greenfield site, near the M1, which is not only a site of special scientific importance, but also involved the demolition of a derelict 17th century Manor house for Hawspring St. M. The developers, Tartan Transglo, it has claimed have ignored the wishes of the local council and the local member of parliam.
Today the development officially gets underway and the concerned parties will be staging a protest.
- [Protestors] Save our village, save our village, save our village save our village.
- Are you alright?
What happened?
Did anybody see what happened?
(banging and clattering) (classical music) (protestors chanting) (clapping) - On behalf of Tartan TransglobC I'd like to introduce Mr. Charles Montrose MP, our chairman.
(applause) - [Charles] We are talking the future here.
We are talking enterprise.
We are talking energy ideas, self expression.
- [Charles] Above all, we are building on our heritage.
The heritage of a great nation.
Look into the future, not to the past.
Look into the future and the 21st century with pride and optimism.
(applause) - Right.
Hanratty's.
- It's nice to be back in Hanra.
Not that you could call old 'Ratty a specialist, exactly.
But he always comes up with something interesting in the edged weapons line.
This, for example.
I know it's not my cup of tea, but I want a commission.
Any percentage is a percentage.
- You got my coffee.
- Weird.
Chetwood's gonna love .
- Ah no, you've got my coffee.
- Tastes like tea anyway, Eric.
- They're all coffees.
- Tastes like gravy.
- Have you checked the lights on the Harley yet?
- We'll get round to it, don't .
- Yeah.
- [Auctioneer] Against you, sir.
Shall we say a hundred?
120.
- [Lovejoy] George the III.
- What's all this engraving?
- It's a commemorative piece.
Isn't it?
1750s.
The blade's a Solingen, it could be earlier.
- That's the Solingen running w. - It says here, "Fine basket sword, 1.25 meters, about 1760."
Unusual orb-shaped basket with conventional loop guard plus qu.
whatever they are.
Engraved "Souv le QC" on blade.
- Oh, it's lot 161, alright.
What budget did Chetwood give y?
- Up to 900 quid.
I've never seen a guard with quillons like that before.
Have you?
- Chetwood will love that.
Adores getting his teeth into a.
- What is a quillon by the way, when it's home?
- Hello.
- [Lovejoy] What?
- [Tinker] Gently Bentley.
- [Lovejoy] Well, he got those Venetian stilettos earlier on.
- [Tinker] Yes, but he stayed f. - Alright.
Lot 161, a fine 18th century commemoratie basket guard, Claymore.
- Let's see what Bentley does.
- [Auctioneer] Who will start me off at 200?
Come along ladies and gentlemen, this sword's worth far more than 200 pounds, huh?
Oh well I shall sell it for 200.
- [Auctioneer] 300.
Thank you, .
400.
500.
- Who is she?
- Can't see.
- [Auctioneer] With the lady th.
Are we all done at 500?
Six, thank you, sir.
And 50.
Seven, thank you, sir.
Against you, madam.
Seven it is.
Lovejoy.
- Which lot are they at?
- Well, they've just done 163.
- If you found the sword in the, why the hell didn't you bring i?
- Well, this is the correct place to bring it to, isn't it?
- I didn't say that it isn't.
- Crap furniture and good weapo.
Genuine collector's house Hanra.
That's what you've always told .
- And you bid me up.
- Here we are then, Lovejoy.
- I didn't see you.
And nobody bids only once anyway.
Who told me that?
Huh?
- Perhaps I should change me af.
- Oh, excuse me, sir.
- [Lovejoy] Yeah?
- The Claymore.
Would you mind very much if I were to look at it?
- No, no.
Come with me.
Vicki, , show this man the sword, will y?
Vicki, don't forget, we're coming to the flat this a.
- [Vicki] What?
My place?
- Yeah.
We're gonna drop some s. - You know, the table and thing, I did remember to call her.
- Right Vicki.
- I wonder.
May I have a word?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my name is Kinloch.
- Lovejoy.
- Catchpole.
- This is a commemorative piece.
- Yeah.
- "Souv le QC" You find that on a few of them.
Souviens le quarante-cinq, remember the 45.
1745.
The 45.
- Prestonpans, Culloden, Bonnie prince Charlie.
(sings tune) - [Vicki] I remember doing that.
Looking very smart, Tinker.
- Regimental reunion, young ma'.
- Charles Edward Stewart, as yo.
Charles, the third of England as he might have been.
- So this commemorates, what, a?
- [Vicki] Not for Charles.
It w. He had the whole of England scared witless.
He was a hero in Europe.
- Quite bright young lady.
In Paris he was feted.
He was the toast of France, despite his defeat.
The fact is that this particular claymore, I believe, has connections with my family.
Well, it's more than a belief.
You see the capital O with the smaller O beside?
My family are the Kinlochs of Lochs Ollach.
There are two Lochs Ollach.
The big sea loch and the little fresh water loch.
Hence the two Os.
It's a mark on all the family silver.
I imagine you gave, oh, nearly a thousand pounds for this.
I would be prepared to give you.
- Just a moment.
- [Auctioneer] A very desirable lot, this one.
Now I have 600 pounds.
- Five grand starts me wonderin.
Hello Gently.
- You bought that damn thing, d?
- Commission.
- Yeah.
Well, "fools are bound", as my old aunt Dolly used to declare.
A mere commemorative piece, you.
- What would you do if you were offered two grand for it?
- What?
Let's have a look at it.
I don't get it.
Solingen blade.
No other maker's stamp on it.
- He says it was made for his f. - [Bentley] Probably was.
- [Lovejoy] Do you know him?
- Nope.
- Is he a dealer?
- Doubt it.
Looks as if you've struck lucky.
Grab your two grand and run, I .
- Thank you Bentley.
Well, you know me.
I'm gonna hang onto it.
- I just wanna feel a bit freer?
I think that's what it is.
- Oh yes.
Of course.
Thank you.
But don't expect miracles.
Are you really sure you can afford to buy it?
- Well, I've worked out quite c. Dad got it dirt cheap anyway.
Got it from some fence who's retired to Malaga.
Albie something.
I would've thought I was doing him a favor.
- Well, yes quite.
You will tread gently though.
Won't you?
He feels very guilty about you.
I suppose that's why he bought you the flat in the first place.
Don't you t?
- Well, he doesn't have to feel.
I mean, it's not his fault that my mom's a prize cow, is it?
- Hi Dad.
- Hello, darling.
How are you?
- I've just been helping Jane to plan our interior decorating on the computer.
- Hello Vicki.
- Hi Eric.
- Eric.
Start unloading that, w?
And be careful of that table, Tinker's in love with it.
So, what?
- [Vicki] Dad?
- What the hell?
- I've been very careful with t. I just don't really want them h. - What do mean?
You don't want ?
They're beautiful.
I mean some of my finest pieces.
- Well I was just beginning to l a bit like your London showroom.
- Yeah.
Well you are my London .
What the hell's going on here, ?
- This is the pack I've been designing.
t's for a perfume.
Haven't named it yet.
- You're getting paid for this?
- Got a few ideas for the bottl.
- Are you getting paid for this?
- In a way.
- In what way?
Is that the real stuff?
What's going on here?
- Are you going to drink this champagne or not?
I think Vicki's trying to tell you she's got a job.
- She already had a job running my London showroom.
- No proper job.
Flex the hours, a personal pension scheme.
- Wow.
Good for you.
What about me?
- And money.
- Money and a pension.
Wow.
- I'm a sales executive.
I'm just above a most junior salesperson.
I can wear a suit.
- Oh.
- She's got something else to t. - The checks, the deposit, and the rest is a standing order.
- Hmm?
- I'm paying you back for the d. I want to buy the flat.
Properl.
- It's already yours.
- Well, I'm paying you back for.
The deposit and everything.
- I bought it for you.
I don't .
- Dad.
I want to be independent.
- [Jen] She doesn't feel it's h. - I feel it's hers.
- I see.
This could obviously go on for some time.
Look, she's very determined.
Why didn't you just give in with a good grace.
- Dad you must be broke.
You al.
- I am not broke and I do not want your money.
- You've never refused money in.
- If you want to throw your mon, I suggest you find a charity, but I don't think I qualify for that just yet.
Oh, by the way, didn't you telle you found the sword in this fla?
Well, that means I bought back my own sword then, doesn't it?
- [Vicki] I'll give you the money for it then.
- I don't want the money for it.
- Oh my God.
What's all this lot doing here?
- It's all going out.
- Lovejoy.
Give it to me in a w. Is the stuff that's in going ou, or is the stuff that's out comi?
- In a word Eric?
- Yes.
- In.
- Out.
- Oh, make up your mind somebod.
- Oh shut up Eric.
- Dad, it's only money.
- She's been very loyal to you,.
- Well, that's very nice lady J, but I only came in to try and h. - [Eric] Look, do you want the stuff out or what?
- [Vicki] Oh, shut up Eric.
(all talking at once) - It almost certainly was.
- Was what?
- His fault, she was.
- His fault.
She was what?
- Don't... never mind.
- Do you ever have one of thoses when you feel nothing makes sen?
You buy a sword from your daughr at a price that's over the odds, even though she found it in a flat that you bought for her.
So in other words, I'm buying back my own sword and she wants to buy back a flat that already belongs to her.
Am I missing something here?
Perhaps it's not happening.
Perhaps it's getting to me.
Perhaps I'm ready for that little cozy room in that big white house.
Well I will be if I carry on talking to myself like this.
- Right?
Well I'm off then.
- And Kinloch's left his address and phone number in case you change your mind about the sword.
- Ah.
- And Lovejoy, by the way, what are quillons?
- Oh, these.
The quillons, Eric.
- Oh, could have made them the same length, couldn't they?
- Very rare there, Eric.
By the way, did you get my Fren?
- Well, I thought I might get tr cause I'm gonna be late for Cha.
- Get it before closing time, E. - Yeah.
Before closing time.
No.
- I fixed the light on the Harl.
And leave some gravel in the dr. (classical music on record play) (suspenseful music) - Bloody Eric.
(glass shatters) - What is it about this sword?
(horn honks) - [Eric] Hello Chris, mate.
Long time no see.
- Bloody Hell.
Bloody Eric.
Blo.
- What?
Rear light was it?
- Listen, I'll have to have a license or something off you.
I radioed the station to tell him I was following you.
- Well that's no problem.
Come back to the office and I'll get it for you it's only around the corner.
- Office?
- Yeah.
Lovejoy Antiques.
Works of art valued if we like the look of you.
I'm finance director.
So come on, man.
I want the lot with this.
Siren, lights, everything.

(horn honking) (Tinker singing) - Get out of the way Tinker.
(Tinker laughs) - Okay, Chris, I'll get it now.
I won't be a minute.
(Eric grunts) What the hell is going on?
- Don't just stand there.
(bicycle bell rings) - Another party.
Oh, disco lights.
Bring on the dancing girls.
(sings little tune) - You are bloody useless.
Your reunion went well?
You're .
- I'll just be seeing that license.
Okay, Eric?
- All right.
(Tinker continues singing) - Coffee.
Don't scald your mouth.
Oh, has Colombo filed his repor?
- No, he says he's gonna let yof using threatening behavior to a police officer.
But just this once.
- Oh, very kind of him.
- As for the burglary, he's notd cause there's nothing missing and he's an environmentalist and he doesn't wanna waste pape.
- This is what they were after.
- You're kidding.
- If you're prepared to spend five times over the odds Eric, you're prepared to steal.
- I always thought that was a peculiar object.
Oh.
- He scalded his mouth, now.
You should have warned him.
- [Lovejoy] It serves him right.
Why do you think they want this, eh?
Sentimental value.
Tink, in the morning.
(crashing) Or in the afternoon when he wak.
- If he wakes up.
- When he wakes up, I want you and him to find out more about that bloke we met at the auction.
Kinloch.
- Well, right yeah.
- Right.
Find out more about the Kinlochs of Lochs Ollach.
- Fine.
So in the morning, find out about the Ollochs of L. - Lock.
No, the Kinlochs of Loc.
- The Kinlochs of Lochs Olloch.
- That's right.
(Tinker playing harmonica) (suspenseful music) - Hi.
- [Lovejoy] Hi.
- Are you still cross?
- This time I'm worried.
I want you to tell me what's over my shoulder, across the street.
- Bloke in a car.
- Two blokes in a car and they're watching this place.
- Oh sure.
- They did my place over last n. I don't think it's safe for you to be here.
I've made a arrangements for you to stay with Jen.
- Oh, that's great.
Dad, what is going on?
- Did you really find that swor?
- Yes.
- Take the handle off the broom and find me a newspaper to wrap.
- What for?
- Nevermind what for.
Just go and do it.
Come on.
Eric, would you turn the music down please?
And listen to me.
Thank you.

- A little detour.
I may need your help in a minute.
- Oh.

It's not fallen off the back of a lorry.
75.

- Oh, so what's the favor you w?
- I want somebody slowing down.
Who's been following me.
- George.
- There's some very weird people around here.
- He says, "move it yourself."
- What, me?
(men at table catcalling Eric) - Thought you'd like some tea.
You must be tired following me around all day.
(engine starts) (workers shouting) - I wouldn't wear that shirt again if I was you, Eric.
- Funny color but there's nothing wrong with it.
I don't know how you can let Mickey wear this, let alone me.
I've never been so embarrassed .

They put 'em over the end of ths to keep the sand out.
Look, use your life.
I mean, what other reason woulde for using the man in the govern?
- [Scotsman] The independence party is no longer just a nexus of influence.
We are a power deliberate.
Gentlemen.
To him, who came over the water.
- Oh, whoa.
Ah.
- Excuse me.
An intruder.
Apparently he said something about the sword.
And he mentioned your name.
- [Police Officer] This way, Ge.
- Did O'Neil tell you about the Hawspring workers wal?
- Yes.
Something about them not wanting to work.
- What's going on here?
- Lovejoy.
- I might have to sue you, you .
- Calm down, man.
You were trespassing.
I'm sure my man didn't exceed instructions.
- I came here in good faith.
- Did you?
Then why didn't you ring the front doorbell, Mr. Lovejoy?
- I was looking for the tradesman's entrance.
- [Scotsman] I wonder, I don't think humble pie is part of your diet, Mr. Lovejoy.
- Do you want this sword or not?
- The sword you say?
- The sword.
- Are you telling me you are prepared to sell it?
- Yeah.
That's the idea.
- [Scotsman] What made you change your mind?
- Well, the amount of money he was offering for it and the time and effort that wat trying to nick it back from me, I figured at least there must be diamonds in it.
There weren't.
- How disappointing for you.
- So I'll just take the 6,000 you were offering me for it.
- 5,000, Lovejoy, I believe we .
- Oh yes, cash.
- Very well.
Perhaps Ben could get it from m. You brought in with you.
- [Lovejoy] She's overheating a.
- The sword, Lovejoy.
The sword.
- The money, Mr. Kinloch.
The m. - Thank you.
Enjoy.
- I will, Lovejoy.
I will.
- [Lovejoy] All right, all right, I was a crummy parent.
I was never there.
I always overreacted at Christm.
I didn't always pay the school , but I always tried to be a friend.
Didn't I?
So.
- Talking to yourself, Lovejoy?
You're gonna end up in a loony n if you carry on like this.
- There's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
- Think if I can't talk to her, I'll talk to myself.
- Right, now for a start.
There's no such place as Loch O.
All that stuff about the family.
- Was a load of old Ollachs.
- Was not true.
- Oh sure.
They just wanted the sword for this daft charade they do when the moon is full.
- I found out quite a lot about.
- Any of this go in spare?
- For a start he's in "Who's Wh" - Sorry.
- Thank you.
He's actually a very, very posh Scot.
Doctor of law, historian.
He's written three books about the 45.
University appointments, government appointments, but he is on the board of Tartan Transglobe, PLC.
- Is that supposed to be someth?
- What?
Tartan Transglobe is owned by Charles Montrose.
- Charles Montrose.
- That Charles Montrose that wants to turn Scotland into an independent state.
- [Eric] Oh, hear that.
- Charles Montrose, Independenc.
Fuhrer of...yeah.
Thought he looked familiar.
- Tartan Transglobe is a pretty unsavory setup.
They keep getting planning permn for supermarkets that people do.
- Well there's a lot of rumors about their gearing, Tartan Transglobe.
Cause the FT reckons they're seriously over geared.
- FT. - Kinloch and Montrose are a couple of Gay Gordons who like to toast Bonnie Princee wearing hairy sporrans and wool.
- Do you think that's what they want the swords for?
- Well, I did think.
That's why I took the fire gran.
- You've used fresh tomatoes in this again, haven't you?
(classical music) - This is bloody inconvenient.
I like my Sundays to myself.
- I shall mow your lawn.
- You?
Do my lawn?
- I have mowed lawns for her majesty, Gently.
I've seen a few stripes in my t. I want you to look at these.
- This thing again.
- I was a little stingy with th.
I was offered 5,000 not two.
And the other night, somebody tried to nick back.
There is more to that than meet.
Ah ha, electric start.
I love i.
- Ah, Claydore.
The weapon was forged in the workshop of one Andrea Schnabel in the city of Westminster, 174.
The sword was a commission from Barron Ferrini, a Sardinian merchant and banker who was an agent of the French .
The sword was presented to the family of Lord George Murray, the great Jacobite in exile in .
Lovejoy.
Lovejoy.
Come here.
Come in, come in.
- Gentley, you sound almost exc.
- C L A Y D O R E. Claydore.
My goodness.
- Claydore?
- Well, it's sort of pun, you c. Good Lord, I've never even taken it seriously.
I've always thought it on the par with a Lochness monster.
- Gently.
- Yeah?
- Please.
Go slowly, will you, ?
From the beginning, make some s. And shall we start with sort of?
Shall we start there?
- Claydore.
- Yeah.
- It's French.
Of course.
Clay door.
Clay as in clef.
Key.
But the thing could just about be called a clay more.
You see?
So in the books they w. Claydore, like Claymore, but with a D instead of the... right anyway, shortly after presenting the all to the Murrays, Ferrini was betrayed.
- Ferrini?
- Ferrini's the man who commissioned the sword.
Ferrini was betrayed to the government by anti Jacobites.
He was arrested and tortured, tried in Camera and sentenced to death as a spy.
From the first, mystery has surrounded the Schnabel Claymore.
Tradition has it that Ferrini told the Murrays that it was the key to the gold.
La clef d'or.
Certainly descriptions of its curious desn suggests that it offered the beholder some sort of message.
But the Murrays, it seems, were unable to benefit from it.
Living penuriously on the charity of friends, the family soon sold the sword to rid themselves of any connection with dangerously disgraced Ferrini.
The sword has been subsequently.
Rumors of its existence persist.
Furthermore, an amount of gold, which may be that referred to b, left the French treasury in Jun, presumably on its way to the re.
Never to be seen again.
- [Lovejoy] So Gently, this money that Ferrini referred to.
How much did the French treasur?
- 20,000 Gold Louie in mint spe.
- Which today would be worth wh?
- Millions.
- Yeah, millions and this sword, this Claymore stroke Claydore is the key to where that money is.
Right?
- Right.
- Right.
It's a pity.
- What?
- It's a pity.
- [Gently] What's a pity?
- It's a pity I sold the sword.
(percussive music) Little something for you looking after Vicki.
- Oh, Lovejoy.
Oh, thank you.
Aren't you gonna say hello?
- Hello Vicki.
- Hi dad.
- I'll just sort out some tea and come through when you're re.
- [Jan] Thank you Lovejoy.
This is really beautiful.
- [Lovejoy] It's a pleasure Jan. You see Victoria.
Some people can accept presents gracefully.
- Are you starting again?
You've been so nice.
Can't you just let it lie?
- Alright.
Alright.
I'll let it lie.
I came to tell you about the sword.

Zilch.
Must be some information on it somewhere.
I bet those Gay Gordons have worked it out by now.
- The French gold will be worth.
