Episode 91: The truth about the watches
Police 1: Could you just sign here please?
Tim: Yeah, sure. Can I do anything else to help?
Police 1: I think we have everything we need. We've been watching your boss, I mean, your ex-boss, for some time, and we've long suspected that he was involved in a counterfeiting ring. With the statement you've just given us, the CCTV evidence, and Mrs Hall's statement too, I think we've got enough to secure a conviction.
Tim: Mrs Hall?
Police 2: Janet Hall: the rather posh customer who bought a watch from you just before Christmas. She recognised almost immediately that it was a fake, so she came to us straight away. But she was adamant that you couldn't have been responsible. She said something about some lost money that you returned to her.
Tim: Oh yeah, that. But when you interviewed me the other week you really seemed to think that I'd stolen the watches.
Police 2 : Just doing our job, sir.
