Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory?

I've had it up to here, wetting you in a bunch of scalded like you.

So now you're going to find out what the army's all about.

So, the exercise lasts for seven days.

But I don't reckon you shower can last longer than three, because we'll be

looking pretty hard for you.

If any of you fall and recollect, just try and make yourselves look

We'll find you.

But no guarantees about when.

Right.

That's nice. Two.

Off.

Majesty's bad bargain in person.

Crazy bastard!

Gonna complain again?

Like telling tales out of school, don't you?

Time you lads to keep your mouths shut, sunshine!

Let me know to mummy, master.

Mommy's not there, but daddy's coming.

You're a whinging waste of space, Marston.

Watch.

I don't believe it.

I thought I'd make an early start, Kate.

You were still working on it when I went to bed last night.

This is ridiculous.

I've nearly finished.

So you keep saying.

You've been called out for breaking at Woodford Farm.

And have a bath.

You look like an industrial waste tip.

Hey, Joe. Where are you going with that money?

Your hand.

It's... Joe, where are you going with that money in your hand?

I'm going to find my woman. She's running around with some other men.

I'm going to go downtown and buy me a blue steel .44.

I'm going to go downtown and buy me a blue steel .44.

When I find my woman, she's not going to run.

You shot your woman!

was taken.

Nothing of value.

No, just that rubbish I told you about.

I'd have paid the bugger to have it had he but known.

What's this?

Looks like khaki or something.

It's a bit of old coat.

Breathe in.

And out.

And in.

And out.

Once more. In.

And out.

Sounds like a kettle on the ball in there. Have a listen.

Daniel. It's all right. It's finished.

His bronchitis has flared up again.

Do that outside.

He ought to be wrapped up warmer, you know.

He's grown out of most of his clothes.

And since Tom died, I can barely afford new ones. It's all I can do to keep the

house warm.

How's he behaving generally?

Can't do a thing with him.

He's bad enough before.

But since those council people started pestering us... Council people?

You know who I mean.

It was you who put those busybodies onto us, wasn't it?

You enjoying your breakfast, Claude?

I'm just tasting the quality, Mr. Ronan. You know, you have to try them before

you buy them, don't you? You might get a bunch that's a bit unjuicy.

What are you looking at?

That's not a bad coat, that.

Well, I've had it for years, you know.

It's as good as new.

Doesn't half look good on you?

Oh, well, you have to know how to wear them, don't you?

They're in the forces, you know.

Can I see how it hangs round the back?

Ah, I will look all you want.

Hey, you're not looking at one of these, are you?

I am, as it happens.

What do you want? One exactly the same as this?

No, one with a bit missing.

In fact, one worn by whoever broke into Woodfall Farm last night.

I told Dr Ferrenby about you. Not to interfere, Mr Sanford. To help you. You

Daniel. We don't need his help.

And I never asked for yours.

Dr. Ferrenby is on a new council committee that's been set up specially

people in your situation.

I don't want handouts.

Tom was dead against it. We paid our way or went without.

And what about Daniel?

He's not in good health. He's missing school.

I'd do my best.

What can I do? The boy won't even accept his father's dead.

He needs expert counselling.

And you can't provide it without help.

There's no help.

Questions? The horrible things they try and get Daniel to say against me.

You had no right to interfere, Dr Rowan.

Costable.

That lad running off there, little Danny Sanford, he's just nicked one of me pen

knives.

Right, Daniel.

Let's have it.

I'm impressed.

Now pick it up.

I said pick it up, Daniel.

Hello. Is Mrs. Hather with you?

Yes. What is it?

I'm afraid Daniel's in a spot of bother.

Why? What's he done?

He stole this from the hardware shop.

Stole it?

Is that true, Daniel?

Yes.

But why?

You know it's wrong to steal.

It's not stealing. Of course it's stealing. It wasn't your knife.

It's the one Dad promised to buy me. He'll pay for it when he comes back.

Stop it. Don't say that.

You mustn't say such things.

Look, we'll have a word with Mr Diprose.

He'll be happy to get his property back.

I don't want this happening again, Daniel. Do you understand?

Nick, could you run Mrs Sanford and Daniel home? It's all right.

It's no bother, Mrs Sanford.

We can pop in and see Mr Diprose on the way.

swine.

Now then.

Not open yet, Mr. Greengrass?

Good job I am, then.

What about that?

What's that?

A greengrass breed of chicken.

Chicken? Aye.

Especially bred for the Aidensfield arms, eh, George?

Didn't manage the rabbit then, Claude?

I got one. Some bugger pooched it out of the snare, didn't he?

That makes a change.

Wouldn't mind, but I saw him make off with it.

Wait on.

I reckon he's been a bit busy somewhere else, I know.

Hello?

Could I speak to Mr Sanford? Dad's not here.

How about your mum? She's outside.

Who are you?

Daniel.

I can't wait, Daniel.

Your dad, will he be back soon?

Could you do me a favour?

Could you tell your dad Ken Marston called?

Ken, you got that?

Tell him I haven't seen him.

Tell him I'll meet him at our den.

Our den.

You got that?

Who was it, Daniel?

Someone for Dad.

Don't tell lies.

It's true, it's Ken.

He wants to see Dad.

Give me a message for him. Stop it!

Don't say things like that!

I'm beginning to feel all I'm good for is answering your damn telephone calls.

Sorry? If that car was a woman, I'd scratch its eyes out.

I have to put the time in, Kate.

That was Blake, then. He wants you out at Lord Ashfordly's Lodge. Another break

-in.

A bit of poaching's one thing, Sergeant.

Part of the tradition. Fine, that's understood.

But this makes me angry.

I can understand that, sir. It's got to be stopped.

Especially as our syndicate shoots are about to start, understood?

Right. Right.

Carry on.

Thank you, sir.

His Lordship is not a happy man, Rowan.

Some tin food, a few bottles of booze, curtains, paraffin.

The side of the crime of the century, Sarge. Well, no vehicle tracks.

Must be someone local.

Someone who knows this area.

Greengrass.

He never made those prints, Sarge.

Oh.

An expert on his footwear, are you?

Well, look at the stuff that's been taken.

I mean, curtains and paraffin, stuff like that.

It's like survival gear for someone who's living rough.

Well, he's certainly no Boy Scout.

Are you Ken?

Daniel Sanford.

Is anyone with you?

Did your dad send you up here?

No.

But you gave him my message.

Dad's not here.

Where the hell is he then?

He's away, but he's coming back.

When? Don't know.

Bit many on that, Alf.

Looks more like a minus to me.

I don't know why you read that rubbish.

Who said I'm reading it?

When I was your age, it was popular mechanics.

Alf. You were never my age.

Well? Well, I've tried everywhere, Sarge.

Missing persons, you name it.

I even tried the army.

They've got a few soldiers gone over the hill, but they know where they are.

Hmm.

Can't be them, then.

They don't think so.

All the same, I still think there's someone living rough in Asfordly Forest.

How old are you, Daniel?

Seven.

I was nine when Tom, your dad and me, were last here.

Why didn't you stay with him?

Lived in London, didn't I?

Sent up here on holiday at your dad's house.

We was great mates.

But he didn't come back.

That's how it goes, Daniel.

Often thought about him, though. I had made out.

Was it your dad who told you about this place?

Yeah, it's our special place, too.

I suppose that's all right.

But you'll have to keep the secret, too.

Promise.

Come in.

Ah, Kate, news of the Sanfras.

Nowhere near the whole story, but enough to know trouble when it rears its head.

What's going on?

Social services looked into the case purely as a formality, but that is no

longer so.

Mrs. Sanford is now the object of an in -depth investigation, Kate.

Why?

Kate, there is a strong belief that Mrs. Sanford is unstable.

No more unstable than anyone who's just lost their husband and is living from

hand to mouth.

Helen Sanford loves Daniel.

Their view is that Daniel is seriously disturbed, deeply hostile to his mother.

If they decide, and I think they have done already, that the boy is at risk...

He will be taken into care, Kate.

Take Daniel.

They can do that. Take my child.

Tell me if they can prove you're an unfit mother. But I love Daniel.

I know that.

You did this. If it wasn't for you... Look, nothing's decided yet.

What do you have to do? I don't know what to do.

Tom would.

If he was here.

But he's not.

Just when I needed him.

I'll forgive him if I can't.

Morning, Joe.

Morning, Nick.

You heard any good gossip lately?

If that's what you mean by good, really.

Any strangers in the area?

More specifically, strangers in Asfordly Forest.

Well, you could do worse than have a word with Claude Greengrass.

Really? You mentioned seeing someone up that way.

I was quite put out about it.

It seems he lost some property.

But what it is to lose, eh? Ah, well, that I wouldn't like to say.

Well, let's see if he can enlighten me.

I just saw Gina with a bloke.

That's perfectly natural, Nick.

No, not with this bloke.

What do you mean?

He's the probation officer from Ashfordly.

That takes all sorts.

Where are you off to?

Have a word with Greengrass.

I've got some things I say that might cause you pain.

If I catch you talking to that boy again, I'm going to let you down and

leave you there.

Because I told you before, oh, you can't do that.

Well, if the second time I caught you talking to him, do I have to tell you

more time? I think it's a sin. I think I'll let you down. Let you down.

Thank you.

Thank

you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Go on. Go on.

Go on. Go on.

We can find a home for that, can't we?

We've got to rub it in, Nick.

Ryan Rudd.

Long time no see.

Hi. I've got a bit of something you might be interested in.

He's still doing a bit of collecting.

You know.

Bang, bang.

Well, we all have our hobbies, Claude.

Cup that little lot, then.

You got the piece that goes with this, then?

My lips are sealed, but I think if anybody showed willing, you know, I

Fiverr might reserve it for you.

Right.

It's reserved.

I'll... I'll sit here.

Come on.

Your mum, she don't know me.

And anyway, I'm in a bit of trouble.

Your bit.

You won't go away again.

Told you. I'm here to see your dad.

You will find out when he'll be back, won't you, Daniel?

It's important.

Yes?

Quite a life out of me.

I've been looking for you all morning. What do you want?

I thought you might be able to assist me in my enquiries. Not again. What is it

this time?

I gather you've seen someone in Asperley Forest.

Someone stealing your property.

You mean that chap you thought were me?

It's good, isn't it?

Somebody's only got a brick wind round here and it's blame greengrass time.

But you have seen it?

Only the back end of it.

Can you give me a description?

Well, not really. No, I mean, I didn't really see that much of him, and that's

the truth.

We're about some of those.

No question about it.

NATO issue FN semi -automatic round.

Recently fired.

Bloody dangerous weapon.

Is it one of yours?

We lost one in exercise 40 miles away.

Booked out to a Sergeant Nichols. He took a nasty fall.

We found him, but no sign of the weapon so far.

Was he using live ammunition, this Sergeant Nichols?

Hardly. It was escape and evasion, not World War III, Sergeant.

Because whoever fired that major weren't using blanks.

You'll be looking into that.

I'm glad.

Have you spoken to the sergeant, sir? Not up to it yet.

So that could be from a different rifle?

Unlikely. They're restricted to the army.

Do you think this man could be one of yours, then?

I don't see how. No -one's been reported AWOL.

This is escaping invasion exercise, sir.

How long are they out for? Seven days.

Well, our suspect showed up three days ago.

As Constable Rowan implies, one of your men could be AWOL, but you don't know

that yet.

May I use your phone, Sergeant?

Well, that put the wind up him.

I hope he can identify.

I bloody hope so, too.

A rogue swaddy on the loose with a weapon like that doesn't bear thinking

Kate?

Yeah? You still want to know what attracted Gina to Aidensfield?

Ashfordly probation says she was meant to report her presence here to me.

Why? She was convicted for possession of stolen property in Liverpool.

What? She got probation on condition she lived here with her uncle.

You were meant to report your presence here to me.

I would have told you, Mr Rowan.

But you didn't.

I had not to hide, but... But me Uncle George was keen to keep it a bit hushed,

like. Well, you know what the life round are, yeah?

Yeah, but you still should have reported to me.

You won't have no worry with me.

I'm not about to let me Uncle George down, am I?

It was all a mistake, you know.

It always is, Gina.

True.

Some fella asked me to look after some gear for him. I was hiking out with

So why do you think he gave it to you?

It must be my trust in nature.

Oh, Daniel, can't you go and play outside or in your room or something?

Have you knocked anything over with that?

What you doing up there?

Waiting for you.

Get down, it's dangerous.

Ah!

Trooper Kenneth Marston, Londoner.

He failed to show up then?

That, and because Sergeant Nicholls talked.

The one who had the accident?

No accident.

Nicholls' story is that Marston attacked him and made off with the weapon.

He's violent, is he, this Marston?

No record of it until now.

What we do know is there was no love lost between Marston and this Sergeant

Nicholls. Apparently, this Marston has made an official complaint against him

for intimidation and bullying.

Well, Theo was looking into it when this accident happened.

So what's Marston doing running around with live ammo?

It seems that Nicholls was holding on to it without authorization.

Why?

Sergeant Nicholls has yet to explain that.

I don't even know your name.

Ken Marston.

A very old friend of your husband's, Mr. Stanford.

It was you who telephoned Daniel?

Yes.

Told you we're dead.

I know.

I thought...

I'm sorry, love.

It's very important I see Tom, Mrs. Sanford.

Daniel said he's away just now.

But if you could just tell me when he might be back.

My husband's dead, Mr. Marston.

I'm off to the Santa's table.

There's been an accident.

Right.

That's him, is it?

Yeah, a Londoner called Marston.

Well, what's he doing here?

No one knows.

The way he's putting himself about, it's hard to believe he's a stranger to

Aidensfield.

Mr Greengrass, isn't he?

Who wants to know? We're friends of Reginald, Mr Greengrass.

He's got first refusal on some merchandise of yours, isn't that right?

Not exactly, no.

Well, he's sold his interest on to us, Mr Greengrass.

Well, it's not really like Reg thinks, though.

Not to worry. We've brought the means to deal.

I know that, but you see, what you don't understand is... I mean, I was just

pulling his leg, that's all.

I like a bit of a joke.

A joke?

We're not here to be amused, Mr Greengrass, but to buy what we've come

Where is it?

Tom died four months ago.

He'd never been ill.

Then one morning...

He walks out into the yard and minutes later he's dead.

Heart attack.

I'm really sorry.

If I'd have known, I wouldn't have troubled you.

It was wrong of Daniel not to tell you.

I've tried to make him understand, but he won't have it.

He hates me for even trying.

Losing Tom was bad enough, but... What did your own child

turn himself by and say?

That's the worst of it.

That one bullet, we're all there, and that's the truth.

Or maybe you sold it on to someone else. Isn't that it, Mr Greengrass?

I'm not likely to have a rifle and a load of damn bullets, and I don't talk

daft.

You bastard!

Come on!

That's one too

many, Mr Greengrass.

Don't just stand there. Go and fetch help, you daft article.

Really upset, then, you?

Not my fault.

I was about your age when I lost my dad.

Mum couldn't cope, so they sent me up here on holiday.

I was a right pain.

How?

Told lies all the time, didn't I?

Wanted your dad to think I had a life just as good as his, but he wouldn't

it. He knew it weren't true.

Used to make me really mad.

Why?

Wanted us to be friends, didn't I?

Only that wasn't going to happen so long as I kept on lying.

I was doing the worst kind of lying, Daniel.

Lying to myself.

It wasn't easy to get out of it, but I did.

With help from your dad.

I'm telling you this because you've got to do the same, Daniel.

I know it ain't easy, but this pretending about your dad, that's the

lying, too.

And it has to stop.

It's hurting your mum, and it's bad.

Really bad for you.

And it's not what your dad would have wanted, is it?

Is it, Daniel?

I have to go. Why?

I'm in trouble, Mrs. Sanford. That's why I came to see Tom.

What trouble?

The worst.

Don't go, Ken.

Mum will help you.

Won't you, Mum?

I don't know how I can.

Dr. Rowan won't be here long. He can wait in there.

Mrs. Sanford?

Mrs. Sanford, Dr. Rowan.

Hello, Daniel.

Hi.

Been in the walls, have you?

So, did you recognise them? No, they'd gone.

Oh, come on, lads. Give him some air.

Here you are, Claude. Get that down your throat.

You don't really feel the benefit, do you, when you... Just had your face

in. You'll live.

Well, I know.

I might have spoiled my looks.

Improve them more like.

Let me have a word with him, George.

Come on, Gina, let the constable do his work.

So you don't know who they were, and you've got no idea why they attacked

No. I think it's disgusting, though, attacking somebody who's nearly an old

pensioner.

It's not safe to walk the streets.

Nothing to do with this, was it?

Look, this isn't poaching or bent car dealing.

There's an armed deserter out there.

So you tell me any stories and you're in trouble.

How is he?

He'll be fine.

I can't thank you enough for what you did.

Even more for what you said to Daniel.

So what kind of trouble are you in, then?

I killed a man.

That's why I came to find Tom.

I need his help.

That doctor's still here.

She's poking about in that barn out there.

You found it? Well done, Rowan.

He's found the weapon.

We've got Marston's connections, Sarge.

It's the Sanford's.

Yeah, the family that live near the forest.

Right, I'll get on to the army. They can concentrate their search there.

I'll get over there, Sarge.

Kate's there.

I want her out of the way in case this turns nasty.

What are you doing here, Dr. Rowan?

The door was open.

Was this your husband's work?

Yeah. He was a clever man.

When he could be bothered to take pay and work.

Did he make all this furniture, too? It's just some old stuff Tom bought over

the years and did up.

When the council came to see you, did they look in here?

No. No one looks in here.

Now, if you don't mind...

Could I tell the council about this place, Mrs. Sandford?

What, have them busybodies picking over Tom's things? It'd help your case.

Sorry, Dr. Rowan, I don't want you interfering again. I'm done listening to

on this subject.

Do you want to lose Daniel?

Have him taken into care?

Carry on like this and believe me, it'll... Just go, Dr. Rowan.

What's this about Daniel?

She keeps saying the council want to take him into care.

In their care?

Sling Daniel into a children's home? They won't. I won't let them.

That's what my mum said.

But they took me all the same.

Killed her too, I reckon.

As for me, destroyed anything I had in the way of a life.

Don't let it happen to Daniel.

Don't let them put Tom's kid into one of them hell holes.

Mrs. Stanford!

Daniel being taken into care is not a problem you can walk away from.

You can't shut it out, or pretend they can't do it. They can.

Look, all I need is something to force them to review your case.

And you have it.

Those things in the barn are worth money.

Real money, Mrs. Stanford.

It alters your financial circumstances.

Who is that man?

Both the army and the police are looking for a man who's been seen in these

woods. He's armed and dangerous.

He's none of those things.

He was my husband's friend.

No, he's a good man, Dr. Rowan. He's not what they say he is.

Where's Martin? In the barn over there.

The army are on their way, Mrs Sanford. He won't give himself up to them.

He killed a man, Mr Rowan. Some brutal army sergeant who tried to shoot him.

You're wrong, and so is he.

The sergeant's alive.

Alive? But Ken thinks... I've got to tell him. I'll deal with him. You just

there.

Marston?

Come on, it's over.

Time to give yourself up.

For what?

To live life in an army nick?

You'll be lucky.

You're out of date, Marston.

Sergeant Nicholls is alive.

Don't give me that!

He's alive and in trouble.

Is that what I told you to say?

Look, they know he had it in for you.

It won't take them long to work out what he was doing with that live ammo in it.

You've got a good case, Marston.

All we've really got against you is these few stunts you pulled round here.

why blow it now?

Please do as he says, Ken.

Listen to her, Marston.

You're not on your own, you know.

There's a woman and child out here who care what happens to you, even if you

don't.

Come on, Marston.

Ken!

How'd it go?

Well, with Alex's health and with Helen and Daniel's starring like you wouldn't

believe. And with a bit of a nod and a touch from you.

Anyway, the case against E .C. Sanford is suspended indefinitely.

That's great news.

I haven't really sunk in yet.

I've got something for you, Daniel.

Ken wanted you to have it.

Oh, thanks.

That's very kind of you.

Thanks, Dr. Rowan.

You're welcome. See you soon. Yeah.

Well, now, can I give you two a lift home?

That's all right, thanks, Alex.

I'll do the honours. Right.

Well, I'll be off then.

Bye.

If you think I'm going to ride pillion on that clapped -out bike of yours...

You can ride out front with me.

Isn't that...

What do you want if you don't want money?

What do you want if you don't want gold?

Say what you want and I'll give it to darling.

Wish you wanted my love, baby.

What do you want if you don't want her, man? What do you want if you don't want

her? Say what you want and I'll give it to darling.

Wish you wanted my love, baby. Well, I'm offering you this.

Isn't that the car you saw them for?

Told him. Give him, you mean.

Took advantage of my good nature.

Worth a packie now, I reckon.

Do you do requests?

Heartbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory?
