Bergerac (1981–1991): Season 8, Episode 2 - My Name's Sergeant Bergerac - full transcript
Shlomo Denkovitz, an incompetent fraudster, claims to be Jim whilst working as a private eye for his uncle, in pursuit of Giles Grey, a charmer who rooks wealthy widows. Chased by two criminals whose forged identity papers he has forged but mislaid, he has to be rescued by Jim whilst Charlie's friend Eva sets a honey-trap to catch Giles. In addition the drugs squad has unceremoniously taken over the bureau for a stake-out on the island - one way and another it seems unlikely that Jim will get the night's rest he badly needs.

Jim!
Jim,
these fridges down
at Lawrence's electrical store,
definitely nicked, I've done
serial numbers with New Scotland Yard.
- Put them under lock and key.
- But, where?
Everywhere it's full,
every office is jammed solid.
- Put them into the Bureau's storage.
- It's all full.
You couldn't get a fag paper
in that building.
- Ben.
- Every time I leave my desk
someone uses that as a storage space
Better get back quick, hadn't you?
Do you know,
there are 14 boxes of papers?
More bails than boxes, really,
the Fraud Squad are blocking up
our property cupboard.
Fourteen. They're waiting to
pass it on to the mainland
and in the meanwhile,
we've got it parked in our storage.
So, put the stolen fridges
in the property cupboard.
And leave the Fraud Squad
papers outside
for the dustbin men to pick up, okay?
Look upon it as a preparation
for command.
- Where are you going?
- Bye-bye.
- Manager, please.
- Excuse me, sir.
Yes?
Detective Sergeant Bergerac,
Bureau des Étrangers.
- I'd like to see your manager, please.
- I'll just go and get him for you, sir.
Control to Bergerac.
Come in.
Bergerac, go ahead, Willy.
It's a message from Barney.
He wants you to meet the customs
people at the Bureau this morning
11 o' clock sharp,
can you confirm? Over.
What customs people?
I don't know about any customs people.
And, the Mainland Drug Squad.
Willy, you might as well have put that
in the Jersey Times.
- Sorry, Jim.
- Is he still in the island?
No, this message
came down from his PA.
Well, you tell
Superintendent Crozier's PA
that I've been working all night
and I know nothing of any meeting
with Mainland Delta Sierra
or Customs officers. Received?
Received. I think he was very keen
to have them met, Jim.
- You bet he was. You deal with it.
- Me, Sergeant?
