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

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

God,

it's so cold!

Hurry up.

Your hands are freezing.

So are your feet.

What's he doing?

What's he doing?

Nick.

Yes?

You left the bathroom, right?

And don't let the cold in.

Right. Let's do it.

Shut up

You didn't have to hit him, bud!

Yeah! But I did though, didn't I?

Subway on Western Front, huh?

Cutting it a bit fine, aren't we? Well, he said, oh, he's gone home, hasn't he?

Late on shift, by the way.

Couldn't you more like that?

Oh, here we go again.

Mind you, the car's been nicked.

Oh, dear.

There's no laughing matter.

Well, that depends on your point of view, Greengrass.

Generally, I would agree with you.

Theft is no laughing matter.

But that, coming from you... Did you say something, Bellamy?

No, Sarge.

Then perhaps you'll take down the details of this theft.

Only don't get too close.

There's a nasty smell in here.

Good job he's gone, then, isn't he?

Aidensfield Police.

Meg.

Hello?

It's Alex.

Kate? It's Alex. Something's happened.

Yeah, it's the surgery in Aidensfield.

OK, quick as you can.

Thank you. I was a damn fool.

You were very brave.

You know, he's an idiot.

The ambulance is on its way.

I'm not going to hospital.

Alex, with any head injury, there's serious risk. Yes, I know.

So you're going to hospital?

I'm not going.

Alf, it's Nick. Hello, Nick.

Well? What? I don't know the registration.

Hang on a minute. You can't miss it. It's a big one. It's a yank. Left

You've got a soft top. Great big red watsits.

I can't hear myself.

Think. Take him in the interview room.

Right.

Right. No, no, we'll do.

Where is he now?

What's going on?

The surgery in Aidensfield's been broken into, Sarge. Dr. Theddenby's been hurt.

Right, Nick. We'll do.

Right. Let's go and take a look.

It's the end of the shift, Sarge. If I take Bellamy, you'll have to stay here

and take care of Greengrass.

Thought that would shift him.

I don't suppose I can start clearing up.

Sorry about this, Dr Rowan.

I spoke to CID on the way over.

Looks like the same gang did a chemist in Scarborough and two surgeries in

Whitby.

Bit out of their way up here, then, aren't they? Aye.

All crowbar jobs and all.

But this is the first time someone's been hit.

May not be the last, though.

It was carefully planned, Sarge.

They came straight in here. They knew what they were looking for.

Dr.

Rowan, any idea what's missing and the value?

At least £100 worth.

All the amphetamines and barbiturates are gone.

Some of them are lethal if misused.

Aye.

And they all look like sweeties.

That's all we need.

Right, Rowan, that's your job for tomorrow.

School.

Kate, can you do us a favour?

Come up with a list of new patients. Any transients or people not normally

registered with you.

I can't think of anyone, but I'll check my notes for the last week or so.

Could you get a pound of mince for the butchers? Because I've not got time to

any shopping today.

Watch yourself, Gina.

No, it's a picture of Uncle George.

No, I mean in that thing.

It's only you and me.

Have a nice time. I will. See you tonight.

Bye. Ta -ra.

Come and sit down, Mrs Briggs.

I'm sorry about the mess.

I suppose you've heard.

How is Dr Barenby?

They're keeping him in for a few days.

Now, how can I help you?

I think I'm pregnant again, Doctor.

Do you have any idea how many weeks?

Ten, twelve.

I don't know what to do. I'm sick all the time. I can't keep anything down.

I feel worn out.

I wondered if there was something I could take.

I don't prescribe medication in early pregnancy because of a possible risk to

the foetus.

You were Dr. Franby's patient.

Is that the same?

This doctor can't.

Oh, come on now.

Mavis, isn't it?

I see Dr. Ferrenby confirmed your last pregnancy in July 1960.

And it was your first child?

I miscarried in September.

There's no mention of that here.

We went private.

And who was the consultant?

Mr. Holland.

I don't think I know him.

No, he's dead now.

And you haven't been back to see Dr Ferrenby since?

No.

Have you told your husband?

He must be pleased.

More than pleased that I'm pregnant, yes.

I can't stand me being sick, so it's quite fussy that way.

How long have you been married?

14 years.

And apart from 1960, no other pregnancies?

I had another miscarriage in 1962.

Right.

Well... First things first.

Let's take some samples, shall we?

What a great bubble card, Gina. Do you like it?

Yeah. So, how are you? How's life? Oh, you know, it's been quiet.

Quiet in a pub?

Well, it's not exactly Liverpool round here, is it? I know what you mean.

Oh, you should see the old folks home where I work.

How's it going?

How was your first week in Yorkshire?

Well, I know I'm worse.

What did you do for fun?

Well, there's a few lively lads around.

I mean, Teddy Boy's not slick.

Charming. Hey, they're not so bad.

And they know how to have a laugh.

And you've kicked all your old habits.

Oh, come on, Gina, look around you. I mean, where am I going to get any gear

like that in this play?

Anyway, I packed all that in.

So come on then, where are we going?

Jane, will you do me a favor?

A test on these as soon as possible. I know I'm jumping the queue.

They're just ordinary preggers. Yes, but the woman's 41 and has miscarried

twice, so if there are any complications, I need to know now.

Thanks.

Yes, Constable. What brings you here?

We had a break -in at the surgery in Aidensfield last night.

Some pills were taken.

We were worried about them getting passed around the schools.

Ah, I see.

Was it children who broke in?

Well, it looks like a gang's moved into the area.

They've had similar break -ins in Scarborough and Whitby.

Well, I'll warn the staff to be extra vigilant.

But we've never had any trouble like that before.

Well, it's always the first time.

Yes, as you say.

Oh, this looks dangerous.

Excuse me, Constable.

Thanks for letting us know.

We'll keep our eyes open.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, Dad.

Well, it's good to see you. Yeah, you too.

Well done. It was a great game. Thanks.

How have you been?

Fine, fine.

You got time for a cup of tea?

Best not. Mum's coming to pick me up later.

Well, in that case, best leave it.

Yeah.

Maybe next time, eh?

Yeah.

Look, I, er, I'd best go.

See you around.

Oh.

I wish they'd been something simple.

I've just seen Blaketon and his civvies.

So, it's his day off.

He's not on till, er, two o 'clock tomorrow.

He was watching a school football match.

Where was that, then?

Just down the road.

Ashfordly versus Pickering.

Ah.

Well, there was a lad called Graham playing.

It was his son.

His son?

I didn't even know he was married.

Well, he's not any more.

I never knew.

There's a lot you don't know, isn't there?

But when you do, you take my advice, you keep it under your hat.

Why?

Well, I was there when it happened.

It was about 15 years since.

Oh, it's the same old story.

Copper, never at home, wife stuck inside with a kid.

Well, that was that.

About the only time he sees the lad is at football matches.

Poor old Blaketon.

Aye, they took it badly.

He never mentions it.

So don't you.

What's the matter, lads? Cat died?

What's all that then?

It's like trying to get blood out of a stone. But I managed to get the CID

reports on previous chemist and surgery break -ins.

And don't worry, I'll save some for you, Nicky.

Look at you.

I won't have that bedpan Hitler telling me what to do, even if it means crawling

all the way to the ablutions on my hands and knees.

They're keeping you in for observation.

Doctors? What do they know?

Alex, do you know what they say about doctors making bad patients?

Talking of which...

Do you remember Mavis Briggs? She was a patient of yours in 1960, but went

private shortly after getting pregnant.

I most certainly do.

Why? Her husband threatened to sue me. The poor woman was having the most

dreadful morning nausea. I refused to give her anything for it.

He accused me of negligence.

Did you know the consultant, Holland?

Oh, yes.

He's dead now.

Why, what do you want to know about her?

Well, she miscarried with that baby, and then she had another miscarriage in

1962.

Now she's pregnant again and I'd really like to see Holland's notes.

Would they be stored here?

Interesting point.

I'll see what I can find out.

Give me something to do.

And it will annoy Sister Enema.

Kate, will you check my diary? It's on the desk in my study.

Cancel any appointments.

Just for a day or two, mind.

Right. No, Sister, not the bedpan.

The telephone, if you please.

In New Orleans, they call the rising sun.

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.

I have a funny smell in that motorbass.

Petrel. Must have a leak somewhere.

What have you got in yours, Phil?

Neighbour, lot working his dog, courting couple.

No direct witnesses.

Well, there wouldn't be, would there? It was the middle of the night.

Any mention of window cleaners?

Go on, Sherlock.

Case of the midnight window cleaner?

Both of these mention a couple of lads dropping to clean people's windows the

day before.

Oh, I see what you mean.

They weren't locals. Never been seen before.

Well, hang on.

Here we go. Window cleaners.

You could be right, Nick.

Hello? Kate?

It's me.

Listen, have you had any window cleaners around lately?

I don't think so. Why?

Three of these other break -ins mentioned having their windows cleaned

prior to a burglary.

Well, we haven't had any around here.

And your job, Min?

We haven't had any. Sorry. No, all right.

See you later. Bye.

Well, it was worth following up with.

Where did you find these two, Debbie?

Hey, they're not so bad once you get to know them. Just as long as neither of

them put their arm round me.

Here you have a golf club, then. Now, they're just not my type.

Here we are, ladies.

Thanks.

So, er, something on for a wall, eh, Jean?

It's a jeanette.

Yes? Oh, Kate, it's Alex here.

Hello, Alex.

Listen, I've got something for you.

Can you come over this evening? Yes, of course. I'll be in a minute. Oh,

excellent. I look forward to seeing you.

Oh, Kate.

Yes? Bring my whiskey, will you?

All right, then.

Bye.

There you go, Ben.

Pass us some gear, then.

Why, here?

Why, aye.

What do you fancy?

Well, none of those for a start, you burg.

Pass us one of the real ones from the matchbox.

They're selling the real stuff first, right? When they come back and ask for

more, make up the rest of the other stuff.

Steady on, Baz.

Don't worry, kid.

I've got plans. They don't include dying young.

One damn thing after another, isn't it?

I've got to send for the vet now.

What for?

Alfred looks all right to me.

Oh, not him.

Damned horse has gone lame.

Afternoon, George.

Claude. If it's out to do with his life, it's a certainty I shall never see my

new car again.

If anyone's stupid enough to drive around in a stolen pink Cadillac, then

find them.

Cadillac? It's a Chrysler Imperial.

And it's probably hundreds of miles away by now.

Well, they can afford the petrol.

Now, don't worry, Claude, it'll turn up sooner or later.

George.

Have you heard of any new window cleaners in the area going around on

Not to my knowledge.

Well, can you ask around?

Let me know if you hear anything.

Oh, Aaron, while you're about it, see if you can find out about any stolen

American motorcars, if you're joining the fourth line.

Debbie, I've got a girl.

Oh, stay a bit longer.

I can't. It's my Uncle George.

What's wrong with him? He's got to be careful, and he's used to having me

the place.

Never saw you as one for lugging barrels of beer around.

People change when they're stuck in Aidensfield.

Why don't you come over sometime?

OK, next time I'll do that.

I'll get you a ring next week.

All right.

See you then.

Goodbye, Mrs. Cruelheart. Goodbye. Thank you. You're welcome.

And how you go.

Nick!

You were right.

This must be it to say so, love.

What about?

Window cleaners. We had some at the surgery last week. They must have come

I was out.

Did Alex see them?

He paid them.

I thought I had a word with him.

You can come with me. I said I'd call in tonight.

All right.

How was your trip round the schools?

Well, I had a word with the headteachers.

I told them to keep their eyes open.

I saw a football match.

Guess who was watching?

Who? Blaketon. His son was playing.

I didn't even know he was married.

Well, neither did I.

Alf told me.

They got divorced when the boy was about three.

He must be 18 now.

Lives in Pickering.

Does Blake don't see much of him?

Not from what Alf says.

It's funny, you know.

I work with a bloke all this time. I don't know the first thing about him.

I wonder why they broke up.

Being a copper, I suppose.

Never at home.

There's a lesson for us all there.

I know.

I'm more worried about the house doctor's luck.

Come on, you'd better get cleaned up.

I'll be ready to go in ten minutes.

Hello, Alex.

Oh, hello, Kate, dear.

Hello, Nick.

Hello, Alex. How are you feeling?

Much better, thank you.

Kate, I had a word with my friend in Guiney. They sent me over Mavis Briggs'

records.

There's a suggestion the miscarriages were linked in some way to the morning

sickness. Thank you, Alex. These notes are going to be very useful.

Nick wants to have a word with you, and I've got to go and get the next race.

I won't be long. All right.

There you go.

Oh. Oh, thank you, Nick. Thank you.

Alex, did you have some window cleaners in last week?

Yeah.

Yes, I did.

Had you seen them before?

No. They said they were new to the area.

Why?

Well, could they have been the blokes that attacked you last night?

Possible, I suppose.

Can you describe them?

Just ordinary -looking.

Early twenties, one dark, one fairish, medium height.

They had a green van.

I'm afraid I can't be any more used to you.

Well, if you remember anything more, let me know, eh?

Indeed I will.

Did Kate bring my whiskey?

Stay there, son. I'll get you some crisps.

Give us a large scotch, will you, George? And a packet of crisps.

What's the news on Muffin the Mule?

I need you, don't I?

I can't find out what's wrong. First the vet says it's colic, then he says it's

lame. There's got to be a difference, isn't there? It's doing some serious

damage to my wallet, I can tell you. You can afford it, Cole. Not for much

longer, I can't. Not the way things are going.

I thought you said you were going to have an early night.

I would have changed my mind, didn't I?

I went out with the lads and I decided to come over and see you.

Uncle George, this is my friend, Debbie.

How do you do?

What are you having?

Um, run my coat, please.

So, this is Adrian's field.

What are you staring at?

Not much.

Good evening, Constable.

I wanted the word of the doctor here.

What is it?

My apologies for disturbing you, Dr Rowan. I've only just got back from a

meeting. Yes?

I'm Gordon Briggs.

Mavis is my wife.

Come in.

I'll leave you to it.

I take it this is about your wife?

It is.

Not to put too fine a point on it, I'd like to know why you're refusing her

medication. Because it's dangerous to prescribe drugs in early pregnancy.

Well, that's ridiculous.

I've just found out what she's been hiding from me, the vomiting, the

all that.

To be honest, Dr Rowan, I would have thought a woman would have had more

sympathy. Otherwise, I'd never have let her register with you in the first

place. You wouldn't?

No, I would not.

In fact, we've been private before, and much as it's against my principles, we

should go private again.

Mr Briggs, your wife is my patient.

So? So, it's her decision.

Is it?

Would you tell her I'll see her tomorrow with the results of her pregnancy

tests?

You all right?

Self -satisfied, pompous ass.

I'm glad it's his wife I'm treating and not him.

Good night, Captain.

All right.

Are you okay?

I feel a bit weird.

I think I've done something silly.

Debbie, have you taken something?

Um, no, no, I'll be all right. Um, get us another drink. I don't think you

should.

Oh, my God, Debbie!

Oh, my God! She's on something.

Do you think she's on something?

She's done drugs before.

Nick, get an ambulance, quick.

I'll go with her.

It could be barbiturate and alcohol poisoning, but if it is, we don't know

long ago she took them.

Can I go with her?

I need to talk to you, Gina.

Do you think she's going to be all right?

I don't know.

Let's hope so.

How do you know her?

We were friends back in Liverpool.

She's got a job in an old folks home in Pickering.

She's only been here a week.

Have you seen much of her recently?

Only today.

She gave me a call and we arranged to meet.

I knew she'd get herself into trouble being here on her own.

I just had this feeling.

Did you know about the...

No, I didn't.

I'd have flushed them down the toilet if I had.

Any idea where she might have gotten them from?

No.

She's your friend, Gina.

You're the one she came to see.

Mr Owen, I went through all that years ago.

I'm not going to get into trouble and I don't want Debbie in trouble either.

This is important, Gina.

A lot of drugs have been stolen lately and it's likely they're being sold

here.

You heard about the breaking of Dr Ferrenby's and what happened to him?

So where did she get these from?

Look, we had a day out together.

We met a few boys, we had a laugh and I came home.

Then she turned up here. I don't know.

I wish I knew what she'd taken.

It could be any combination.

She stopped breathing.

Is there any puff?

No need to get in touch with her family.

You'll have a job.

Why?

She's a Barnardo's kid.

And what with being new in the area, I reckon I'm about the only person she's

got.

Tell me about these two Ted you mentioned.

They're nothing special.

They're just boys shunned round me.

Do they have names?

Ricky and Spike.

That's all I know about them.

Nick, can I have a word?

Yes, George.

Well, you've seen us how I'm responsible for it.

Is she in trouble?

If she's telling the truth, George, it's in the clear.

God help her if she's not, though.

I know he's off duty this morning, but he's here.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, I realise CID have a major investigation on their hands, but we've

some incidents here as well.

But can I at least put some of my men onto following up any leads we get up

here?

Thank you, sir.

You wanted to see me, Sarge?

Ah, Rowan.

This report you left last night, it weren't the only incident we had.

There was a youngster taken into hospital with some kind of fit.

Another lad crashed his car after falling asleep at the wheel.

Both drugs were like it, were they?

Looks like it.

Now, CID are up to their ears, so they tell me.

So I want you and Bellamy to go over to Pickering and follow up those... Teddy

boys, you mentioned.

Now, I've got an appointment this morning, but I'll be back on after

Report to me then.

Yes, Sarge.

Gynecology department, please.

Hello.

I'd like to make an appointment for Mavis Briggs.

Oh, the bridge of life.

Direct. My eyes in shades of green I'm the dreaming spy

To each a compartment That's where I've been What did you do there?

I've got heart What did you feel there?

Well, I cried I'll tell you why

It's all too beautiful It's all too

beautiful

Mr Briggs, I'm glad I caught you. Could you move your car, please?

I've got a meeting in 20 minutes.

Can we go inside? I've got some information for you.

Did you not hear what I said? I've got an urgent appointment.

Yes, I did.

But this is important for you both.

The tests are positive.

You're definitely pregnant.

But there could be complications, so I've arranged for a specialist at

Hospital to see you.

When? 11 o 'clock.

Today? Has to be.

I was lucky he could fit you in.

And we don't want to take any risks this time.

But Gordon's got a big meeting at half past ten. Well, don't worry, love.

I'll drop you at the hospital, go on to the meeting, then pick you up again.

I'd better get meself ready.

They won't be keeping me in, will they?

I don't think so, but take a few things just in case.

I have to be at the hospital myself later this morning, so I'll see you at

clinic. Right.

Dr. Rowan, will I have another miscarriage?

Let's wait and see what the specialist says.

I haven't been taking anything since he said.

Are there any more anywhere?

There's some in the cabinet over there.

Gordon won't throw anything away.

These German preparations.

We were on holiday.

Can I take them with me?

Oh.

Get anything out of the landlady?

No. She said she hardly ever spoke to Debbie.

She did let me into her room, though.

And what did you find?

Gina mentioned a couple of Ted.

One called Ricky, one called Black.

You'll get fat.

I am fat.

I think it's great gear, Baz.

Want to buy some more?

20 quid. All right?

Yeah.

Fine.

You gone crazy or what? What?

What are you bringing them back here for, idiot?

Come on, Baz, you said we'd be out of here in a couple of hours.

Yeah, well, you get out there and flog some more.

Don't bring anybody else back here.

Why, what are you going to do?

I'm going to finish off sorting out this batch.

They always seem to bring me a rush job at coffee time.

Can you identify these for me? They were bought in Germany.

Right.

Then they should be listed in here.

Now, they're pills.

They look like sweeties.

But if anybody offers you any, tell your mum or your dad to find the police

station straight away.

Understand?

Okay. Okay.

One's Ricky, one's Spike. Do you know? No.

All right, cheers.

Hello, lads.

Mind if I ask you a few questions?

No, I'm busy.

What did you say?

You heard.

Which one of you is Ricky and which one's Spike?

Let's start again, shall we?

You do what you like.

Oh, I will, mate, don't worry.

Now then, which one of you is Ricky?

He is.

Well, you must be Spike.

You know a couple of girls called Debbie and Gina?

Never heard of them.

Bit of all right, are they?

No, they're not all right.

One of them's in hospital with barbiturate poison.

Don't we have any smoke?

Oh, yeah.

Hey! Get off!

You can't do this! All right.

It's all right to get these, then, eh?

You were with Debbie yesterday, we know you were.

If she dies...

And you gave her any of those pills, you could find yourself off a manslaughter.

Hey, look, it wasn't us. It was these blokes. Shut it!

What blokes?

I don't know.

This fella called Baz and his mate Neil.

Is that true?

Yeah.

They got this lock -up.

Where?

Eh? Ashfordly somewhere.

Would you recognise this lock -up if you saw it again?

Yeah. Well, let's go, shall we?

We're on our way back from Ashfordly with two witnesses.

They may be out to show us where the stuff's coming from.

She's only just gone in, Mr Riggs.

Could I have a quick word?

I took this bottle of pills from your medicine cabinet.

Can you tell me when you bought them?

Germany. We were doing Castles of the Rhine, August 1960.

She, Mavis, started being sick. It was the ruin of the holiday, so I went to

chemist. And she miscarried in September.

Are you saying it was the pills?

You could just buy them over the counter.

Not any more.

The drug has been withdrawn.

In some women, it was found to cause uterine spasm and contractions, and in

case of pregnant women... Oh, God.

It's not your fault, Mr Briggs.

Nobody knew at the time.

That's what they said about thalidomide, isn't it?

God, what have I done?

What with all the trouble we'd had, the tests and everything, we'd both been

under a lot of pressure.

When it turned out she was pregnant, I thought all of you would do us both

And she started being sick all the time.

There's no point in blaming yourself.

But you see how important it is to accept medical advice.

I know we've had our differences, Dr Rowan.

I know you think I'm interfering.

But I was doing it for her.

When you haven't got a family, that's all you ever want in life.

See your wife.

Holding a baby?

After place.

Alf, we're at the brickworks in Leather Lane.

Still got these two witnesses in tow. Can you send a backup?

That's one of them.

All right.

Let's go.

Right, you take him, I'll take the garage.

You two, stay where you are.

I'm not too sure about this one, Phil.

You'd better get an ambulance, quick.

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

Gordon,

it's good news.

The consultant says there's no medical reason why I shouldn't go full term.

Thank God.

Go on.

I've got to go.

Come and see me in two weeks for a check -up.

Nick, what are you doing here?

What's happened to your hand?

I had to put a fire out.

Is it bad?

Not as bad as the fellow I dragged out. What fellow? Dr Rowan?

Yes. Dr Ferrenby's ready to go now.

Oh, I'll go and collect him.

I'll come with you.

Yeah, what happened?

Debbie? Gina?

Are you with us?

I think so.

Well, next time you tell me you're clean, I'd appreciate it if you'd stay

way for more than five minutes after my back's turned.

Oh, just thank God you're all right, you stupid cow.

Are you getting soft or what?

There he is.

Hello, Alex.

Miss Blaketon.

He's a regular.

He's been doing it for years.

That's right.
