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

Heartbeat, what does a love kiss mean in my memory?

I treated my way, so I have to keep on talking till I'm gone.

Why do you see it in your way?

For the risk of my love may soon be gone.

We can work it out.

We can work it out.

Think of what you're saying.

You can get it wrong, but it's all right.

Think of what I'm saying.

I don't know.

Push them to one side.

It's bad.

No, it isn't.

I don't know.

All right. Well, you have mine, and I'll have yours.

Good morning.

Morning. Can I have a cup of coffee?

Yeah, of course.

Susan, what do you think you're doing?

I only like the white stuff.

Don't get too comfortable.

When I get back, we've got some work to do.

Do you know what you are when you don that uniform, Rowan?

On duty, sir? You're an ambassador, Constable.

An officer with an unironed shirt means one of two things.

Lack of respect for the job, or someone's run off with the iron.

Sorry, Sarge, didn't have time.

You didn't have time.

No, Sarge.

What if I can iron me own shirts, Rowan?

So can you.

I've just had Joe Gorth up on the phone from Cliff Farm.

Lead was nicked from his house last night, so take a ride over there and

out exactly what's missing.

Right, Sarge.

Rowan?

Everything all right?

It's me, Ben. Nora.

Alfred. Alfred!

Alfred! Alfred!

So, what's the plan for today, then?

Well, how about give it some exercise while I reflect in the radar?

I'll get paid to run up and down hills.

Anyway, I'm knackered. What a girl, was she. My lips are filled. Yeah, I bet

they weren't like me.

Oh, look!

On the double.

What happened?

The chimney's blocked.

Is he all right?

Is he all right?

Come in.

Kate, would you like me to take the mother and baby clinic?

No. Why?

Well, it's maybe not the best day to be faced with... Well, you know.

Thanks, but it's my job.

Even so.

I'm a professional, James.

Personal matters don't intrude.

That's what I was taught at medical school.

Probably by a man.

We'll talk later.

So what exactly is missing?

Flashing off the barn and the soil pipe.

I've had to stop the family using the lavatory. I will be up to our next

meeting. All right, all right, I'll get the picture.

Did you hear anything?

No. I'm a heavy sleeper.

What about your wife?

Earplugs. She doesn't snore.

Come.

Another pan.

Takes after his dad.

Loves his food.

Here you are.

My Chris reckons we should build him up.

He's already got him playing for Yorkshire.

Did your husband play cricket?

No, not at all.

Well, he's not from Yorkshire, is he?

I think that's everything.

Thanks, Constable.

Right. Well, I'll be off then.

I mustn't let your breakfast get cold.

You look like you could do with a square meal, Constable.

No, I'm fine, honestly.

Your wife's the doctor, isn't she?

That's right, yeah.

Tell her from me she's neglecting you.

I'll tell you what, Mavis.

Fling a couple of rashers in the pan for PC Rowan.

Everyone's in the wheel tonight, then?

Yeah, please, mate.

Even Phil's got a date tonight.

You still after that Gina in the local, mate? You must be joking.

She's after me.

Have fun, boys.

Don't do anything you couldn't do on the back of a bicycle.

See the loops? It's church, Sarge. Right, yeah, on my way.

Well, thanks ever so much for going into this gauntlet.

Are you sure I can't do that, sir?

No, I'm fine, honestly.

Have you said anything to Nick yet?

No.

Well, don't you think talking to him would help?

That's the sort of advice I give my patients.

That's good advice.

It's not that I don't want children.

But in the future, not now.

This really couldn't have happened at a worse time.

Perhaps.

But look at it this way. In five years' time, you'll be older, just as busy, and

more easily tired.

When I think how fiercely I used to argue for a woman's right to abortion,

now, I'm confused.

Different somehow.

But Nick and I... What?

You'll have to tell him, Kate.

I know, I know.

Do you know how he reacts, though?

It's his career to think about, too.

Does he love children?

He does.

It's just this wasn't planned.

He mightn't be ready for a family.

Are you sure you're not imagining difficulties, Kate?

What do you mean?

Well, just because you're a little thrown by a vent doesn't mean to say

will be.

You'll never know if it's right for him unless you talk to him.

I'm sorry for offloading my problems onto you, James.

I know I've got to tell him.

We didn't plan our first either.

I'd just started in general practice with no money and the house needed re

-roofing. I think we were both scared.

You were scared?

At first.

So how did you manage?

We put buckets under the leaky roof. I bought a book called Name Your Child.

I remember it as a very special time.

The second time in five years they've had the lead off this roof.

Any idea when it happened?

We can't be certain.

When were you last here?

Eight o 'clock communion on Sunday. There were three churches within my

ministry. And who looks after this one?

Well, Mrs. Teals, the honorary verger. She cleans on Monday. Everything must

have been in order then or she would have phoned me.

The church is insured?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Excluding acts of God, of course.

I suppose I'd better get it cleaned, too.

Here you go.

It's a green grass.

Lads, we were having a chat. It's all right by you. We'd like to hang on for

another couple of days.

Not going absent without a leave, are you?

No, we're not due back to camp till Friday, and it seems as if everyone's

so hospitable.

He scored last night with the barmaid at the Pullen Bush.

Not that big blonde thing.

The very thing?

She'd bring her own scaffolding.

So, two nights, five bob, do you?

I don't know. It's a very popular location, you know.

Five bob and a couple of double whiskies?

Oh, all right. I'm silly to myself. Give me ten bob.

Right.

Judging by the amount of peps in the area, I reckon they're about to move on.

if we want to collar them, we'll have to move fast.

What about surveillance, Sarge?

Too many buildings, not enough manpower. So just stay on your toes and keep

alert.

Explain the word alert, Bellamy.

Yes, Sarge.

I'm saving all my strength for tonight.

It is a great band playing in Scarborough.

Why don't you and Kate come along?

Oh, thanks, Bill. No, um, she's been having a bit big again tonight.

Horace! Horace, it's Claude Greengrass.

Have you got that flaming dog with you?

Because I've got the ferrets out. Don't worry, he's already had his breakfast.

I've got him locked in the truck.

Good job and all.

This one's vicious.

I was wondering if you could help me out.

I'm not buying out.

I'm not selling out. I mean in your official capacity.

My chimney's blocked.

Are you asking me to sweep your chimney?

No, I'm asking for your hand in holy matrimony. What do you think?

November the 10th.

1957. Oh, that suck must be clogging your brain. What are you on about?

Last time I swept your chimney.

Ah, well, you obviously did such a good job that's why I'm rushing you back.

I've given it up.

I'm spending more time with the ferrets.

Well, surely you can do me a favour.

Claude, you and favours are a deadly combination.

Why don't you ask Eddie?

Eddie? My nephew.

I'll give him me extensions.

Oh, you mean he's doing it now?

Yeah. What won't you say to him in the first place?

I'd like to see you squirmed.

Eddie!

Hey, huh?

Hey, lads.

How about a drink?

Whose round is it?

Oh, nice one.

Don't look at me, mate. I'm skint. I don't believe it.

Right, what do you want?

I reckon we're going back to the campsite now.

Come on, Debbie.

Later. Mate, will you let me turn barb? I'll pay you back, come freely.

Oh, shut up, Phil.

All right, lads, I'll sort it out for pocket money.

it's out.

not more lead missing?

no no just a social call.

can I come in?

yeah.

I'll get some glasses.

It's about that unironed shirt.

Like I said, no stripes, no uniform.

Right.

Cheers, sir. Cheers.

Well, well.

How are you?

Fine, thanks.

I was expecting to see you in your uniform.

You like a man in uniform, then, do you?

I might do.

How about out of it?

Watch it.

So where were you before, Catherine?

Borneo, Cyprus, Germany, Africa.

Out of Mongolia.

Scantle.

I'd love to travel and see the world.

I don't know.

Being around here looks pretty good to me.

It's all right for when you're ready to settle down, I suppose.

But that's not you.

No, not yet.

I want a bit of excitement first.

Easily thought. Maybe around the back of Colby.

You don't want to be him, you fella.

But there's more to life than blokes, you know.

Look, we're not at the station now.

You can tell me to go if you want.

But the reason I'm here is... Well, it seems to me, from where I'm standing,

that everything's not quite right on the domestic front.

Kate and I drifting apart.

What exactly does that mean?

Well, to be honest, I'm not quite sure.

We hardly see each other.

You mean she's not living here?

Only at weekends.

How did that come about?

Well, since she's gone in with Radcliffe, most of her work's in Whitby.

The travelling was wearing her out.

Well, perhaps she shouldn't have taken that position.

Well, it's important to her. It's what she wanted.

What about you?

What? How do you feel about it?

Like I've lost the road map.

All right.

You know, the last few months have been hopeless, Sarge.

Kate driving backwards and forwards across those moors.

Me spending most nights listening out for her part.

The thing is, when we did talk, we were both too tired to even think of that.

In a funny couple of ways, it's been a relief for both of us, each staying over

in Whitley.

Well, I'm an old -fashioned sort of bloke, Nick.

I haven't quite got the hang of these, these modern marriages.

But this doesn't necessarily mean that it's all over between you two, does it?

Who knows?

The trouble is, Sarge, I love it here.

Kate, you see, she's more... Ambitious.

But she'd never ask me to give up my job.

Why should I expect her to give up hers?

Well, some folks round here would say because she's your wife.

Well, that's prehistoric.

What's wrong with her just being the doctor in Aidensfield?

Well, yeah.

It was me who persuaded her to come back to Yorkshire.

I reckon between me and the practice, she'd have enough.

But she didn't.

I'm not very good at this sort of stuff, Nick.

Drawing up rotors is more my forte.

But I lost my wife because of the job.

My job.

I don't regret the work I never have.

But many's the time I've regretted the breakup.

I gave up on my marriage too easily.

Refused to swallow me pride.

Stood on my dignity.

Could be you just faced the truth, Sarge.

At least when a separation's permanent, you know where you are.

Hi. Hiya.

You're early.

I've got some notes I want to catch up on.

I brought some mail over for you. Oh.

Maybe something I want to discuss with you.

I can be back behind time.

You alright?

Yeah. Why?

You look awful.

Thanks.

Lovely.

Is it Radcliffe feeding you properly? Oh, don't be silly.

I'm just concerned, that's all.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's all right, isn't it?

Of course.

All right.

See you then.

Nick, I'm pregnant.

This just doesn't seem real.

Well, it is.

I thought you were taking care of all that.

I was.

Obviously not well enough.

You don't seem pleased.

I don't know how I feel.

You're not thinking of doing anything, are you?

No. Well, thank God for that.

Babies aren't medicine, Nick. It won't make things easier between us.

But there's nothing wrong with us.

And we're not important now, are we?

What's best for the baby?

An unworkable marriage.

It's not.

You know, most of my friends just settled for teaching until a husband

along.

Neil, you're different.

I bet you wish I wasn't.

I sometimes do.

But then I think of what I've been through.

All those years of male consultants treating me like a glorified nurse.

James Radcliffe looks at me and sees a doctor.

A doctor he's prepared to listen to.

I've worked so hard for this, Nick.

I don't want to give it up.

I know it's been tough.

What am I supposed to do?

If things don't work out between us, I can always bring the child up on my own.

You could visit whenever you wanted. We worked something out.

Oh, Kate. James manages.

His wife's dead, Kate. He's got no choice.

God, this is my baby and all, you know.

I was so looking forward to this moment.

You all smiling.

Me telling everyone.

I'm sorry.

Doesn't have to be like this.

Come on, Kate.

I love you.

The meeting was called for ten o 'clock. I have to be in Whitby in half an hour,

Rowan. Sorry, ma 'am. Is there something wrong with your radio, Constable?

No, ma 'am. Did you have other pressing police matters to attend to? No, not

exactly.

Perhaps you and I should have a chat about officer discipline, Sergeant.

With your permission, ma 'am, I'm hoping to send PC Rowan here out on a job.

Oh, might as well make the most of his time, now that we've got him.

There was another lead theft last night, Rowan. Have you spoken to Greengrass?

No, not yet, sir. Well, do it, sharpish!

It's getting out of hand.

Sergeant. Ma 'am.

Is Rowan all right?

Yes, Mum, he's fine.

Really?

You do surprise me.

I'm going to have to clear that top out before I can get the brushes up.

I bet that's going to cost me.

That chimney stack needs repairing as well. I hope the flashing's loose. It's

all over the place, mate.

I suppose you'll want cash.

What else is there?

Rabbits.

And what do we want?

What do you know about lead, Claude?

It comes in pencils.

We've got a gang going round nicking the stuff.

Do you know anything about it?

You don't know anything I've been prancing about on the top of people's

roosties. I'm nearly an old age pensioner.

Do you mind if I take a look round?

You'll get in worse than Blaketon.

Thanks.

Eddie?

Eddie!

How much lead is there on the top of my roof?

Oh, Doctor, is Fred worse?

That's what I'm here to find out, Mrs. Holdsworth.

You haven't come from the hospital?

No, why?

They took Fred in last night. He had a funny turn.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

How was it in Whitby?

Can't be helped, love.

It's just one of those things.

Need any help?

Yeah. I tried Jean here to go out with me.

Careful.

Don't you care?

Of course not. It's the kind I'm worried about.

It means a lot to Johnny, doesn't it?

Got it?

Go on. Right,

I'd better get back to the pub.

Wait for me.

What's going on?

Our kite got stuck.

They called the army out.

Where are you off to?

Ashfordly Hospital.

Oh, Mr Holdsworth was taken in last night.

I feel awful that I've only just found out.

Were you in Whitley?

Yeah, even so, I... I've let him down.

Well, you can't be in two places all your life. I know, I know.

Would you... Can I have one of these pies, please, Gina?

Yeah. Is Kate coming in?

No, she's busy.

So what's happening with you and this army fella then?

Nothing.

He's a soldier.

Western sailors they are.

Dale, I'm with the lonely girl.

Why'd that?

Well, it a good laugh.

Things can get a bit dull around here.

Yeah, I suppose so.

I mean, the most exciting thing that's happened this morning is Claude coming

to buy a bottle of whiskey.

Really? And not a dead lump of wildlife in sight.

Cash on the bar.

Well, did he mention how he came to be so flush?

Yeah, he's gone into the scrap metal business, apparently.

Right, where'd you get it?

What? That ledge you flogged.

Off me roof.

What, you're nicking from yourself now?

I gave myself permission, didn't I?

Oh, come on, don't mess me about.

Look, it's a chimney sweep. He let me have all the loose flushing. We did a

deal.

So tell me about him.

There's no to tell. He runs about on the top of roofs fixing chimneys.

Is he your regular bloke?

No.

Horace retired and he didn't have you.

Nick missed that meeting with Murchison.

Aye, so you said.

Better try to give him a right going over, eh?

Could be.

Well, I reckon summer's up, you know.

I mean, Nick arriving late?

Eh, and he's looking rough.

He snapped my head off the other day, you know.

Well, he's all right then, isn't he?

Oh, seriously.

This business of Cade staying in Whitby.

What about it? Well, it's a bit odd, don't you think?

Them being married and all.

I'll tell you what I think.

Nick's our colleague.

He doesn't want us talking about him behind his back.

There's enough gossiping around here as it is.

Station officer.

Oh, hello, Cyril. It's Alfie.

What's this I hear about a young Rowan?

Hello.

I'm looking at the house. There's no one in.

Well, I can't see.

Is Eddie around?

Halfway to Darlington if the wind's behind him.

What do you want me to know about Eddie?

I want to talk to him about lead theft.

What's this got to do with Eddie?

Well, that's what I'd like to find out.

Hang on a minute.

What is it about folk?

They see a man with a dirty face and they reckon he's no good.

In my experience, it's them as what's behind the rears you've got to watch out

for.

Do you mind if I have a look in your shed?

I don't.

Catherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, mate.

Sorry? In ferrets.

Still, you're married to a doctor.

You must be used to the sight of blood.

The caption says, whoever shoots the snake for an hour and a half or a week,

that's how I got the nickname Snakey.

Don't believe him. We call him Snakey because he's always legless.

Why don't you tell them the names the lads called you when you got us locked

the jungle, eh? Not that one again.

Yeah. See, the fact is, girls, if it weren't for me... Philly would have been

monkey's breakfast. Say thank you, Snakey. Yeah, thanks a million. Yeah,

as long as I'm looking out for you, you'll be all right, eh? Just ignore it,

girl. I'd love to be back at the playground.

This is a surprise.

Well, you'd better come in.

I'm sorry to bother you, Sarge.

I'd like to talk to someone.

All right.

Well, go through.

Would you like a drink?

No, thanks, Sarge.

Kate's pregnant.

Well... Congratulations to the three of you.

Yeah, well, it might not be the three of us.

She's talking about bringing it out by herself.

Oh, that's rubbish.

When she stops work, she'll be back home.

She intends carrying on, Sarge.

But she's a doctor. She should know better than that.

Where does that leave you?

I don't know.

Weekend visits, I suppose.

You two need your heads banging together.

As far as she's concerned, nothing's changed.

We're just in a bigger mess, that's all.

But you're responsible for another life, Nick. That's what's changed.

Now, I remember my father.

He was a fair man, but he was strict. And that's how it should be.

Showed he cared.

But my Graham, he missed out on all that.

And look what happened to him.

It wasn't your fault, Sarge.

It wasn't all his, either.

I used to go and watch him play football.

Didn't know a thing about him.

We could hardly exchange one of the couple of sentences between us. I mean,

him, I was just a copper who happened to be his dad.

No, I don't believe that.

Nick, kids need both their parents.

Not these newfangled notions.

Then maybe I should give up my job.

Can I have a cup of tea?

No, thanks, James. I'm a bit tired. I think I'll just go straight to bed.

I'd really like a word with you.

Have you decided what you're going to do yet?

No, I'm still not sure.

I don't seem to be able to think very clearly at the moment.

Well, it's time you started.

Your work's beginning to suffer, you know that, don't you?

Has someone complained?

Not yet.

Are you saying you want me to resign?

No, of course not. Sit down.

I'm talking to you as a friend and a colleague, trying to help you to sort

things out.

You make it sound very simple.

Well, surely it comes down to straightforward choices.

You can stay here, work full -time and have the baby looked after, or you can

live permanently in Aidan's field, come here two days a week.

If you remember, that's how we envisaged it at the start.

Yes, but the practice has grown.

How would you manage?

I'd cope.

If things weren't running smoothly, then we'd sit down and talk about it. I

really enjoy working in Whitby.

We're not talking about the rest of your life here, Kate.

This would be a temporary arrangement until the baby was older.

I don't want to lose you.

I'm sorry I've let you down.

That's ridiculous, and you know it.

But you need to sort out your priorities.

And at the moment, you're just not facing up to them.

Don't forget how lucky you are.

Lucky?

How? In having a husband as supportive as Nick.

There's lead all around the top of that tower.

Big sheets of it. Little strips like down here.

Okay. Go on.

Snakey, don't take this the wrong way, all right? But you're a moron.

Looking dangerous.

What's up, mate? Check in.

What did you say?

That's how I'm lucky

Get out of here and run. Is he there?

I don't know. Let's move it.

We can't leave him. We have to go back up. He ain't going anywhere, mate. Get

out of here and then move.

Are you crazy? That's make -up now. I'm fat. Listen.

He screamed. Someone would have heard of it. You'll get nicked. You'll get

nicked. You're black. I'm not leaving him. Look, the believer left you.

No, he wouldn't. I'm the one that takes care of you.

First phone box and I'm phoning an ambulance.

You tried dying with a broken arm. Now move.

Morning. Morning.

Have you got a local call?

No.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

You OK?

Supposed to.

Cup of tea?

Oh, damn.

Aidensfield Police.

Have you called an ambulance?

Right. Yeah, I'll be straight there.

Were you about to find me? Aye. What was the matter? In fact, I want a word with

you anyway.

Yeah, well, I'll have to wait. Oh, hold on. What's the idea of badmouthing me

after my uncle? The poor old codger nearly had an heart attack, mate. Who

you? Eddie Clough.

What, a chimney sweep?

Yeah, who do you think I was, Santa Claus?

I'm sure he's still alive. I saw him move.

We're never going to get him down from up there.

I'll go and find the fire brigade.

Hey, listen, do you want me to go up there and see if he's all right? I've

my ladders with me.

Do you know anything about first aid?

Oh.

Well, I'd better come with you.

What's wrong, haven't you got a head for heights, then?

It's not my head I'm worried about.

Come on.

Kate! If you're feeling dizzy, don't look down. Just look out to the horizon,

OK? Thanks.

Kate!

She shouldn't be up there.

She's only trying to help.

She's pregnant.

Oh.

I didn't know.

Who are you?

I'm a doctor.

Don't move.

What's happening?

Don't talk, either.

I'm going to give you an injection.

It may hurt a bit, but it'll make you feel better.

We'll try and get you down from here as soon as we can.

And don't go pestering the lads.

Where the hell have they gone?

How is he?

Impossible to assess until we get him to hospital, but not good.

Thanks for your help, Eddie. You've probably saved his life.

Oh, that's all right. Just tell your husband it's not only chimney sweeps

can climb on the rails, eh?

How long before he's fit for questioning?

I really don't know.

He's going straight into the operating theatre.

Right, Rowan, get yourself over to Greengrass's. The old villa must have

what was going on.

I'll get on to Catrick Camp, see what I can find out about these lads.

Oh, uh, Dr Rowan, I nearly forgot.

Well done.

Yeah, well done, Dr Rowan.

Nick! You shouldn't have gone up there. What if you'd have slipped?

I didn't. You could have lost the baby. But I didn't. Yeah, well, maybe that's

what you want.

Oh, come on, Nick!

All right, all right. I'm sorry.

Look, I'm pregnant.

I'm not an invalid.

I really wish you hadn't have done that.

It's my job.

They must have slipped away in the middle of the night.

I tell you something, if I'd known they'd been nicking lead, I'd have

them more.

Must be old age, Claude.

Time was when you knew everything that went on round here.

I know who they visited the other day, cos I saw their bikes parked in his

Who? Well, Bentley.

Runs a small holding up on Calder Dyke.

He's ex -army and all. Bit of a magpie.

Out you want, he can lay his hands on. He knows how to get rid of stuff, too.

Anything else you want to tell me?

Ah, he's got a truck.

Bedford Tipper, Redden.

Registered number, B -P -Y -7 -2.

You'll visit when you're angry, Claude.

They shouldn't have left me out of it, should they? I don't suppose there's any

reward for information received.

Control to Delta Alpha 2 -4.

Excuse me.

Ask him if he wants to speak to me.

Yes, Sarge. Our lads are due back at Catrick Camp.

Well, it's a bit of a long shot, Sarge, but I think I know where they might be.

Well, don't go tat -hanging them on your own, Robert.

They were trained in the swamps of Borneo.

Mike's been in worse situations.

Not on his own. We shouldn't have left him. He got careless. Mike could be dead

for God's sake. Good.

Then we won't have to worry about him keeping his trap shut, will we?

What are you going to do? Back off, you two. I'm sick of refereeing. Come on,

let him have a go.

The deal was you borrowed the truck and I fenced the gear. Mike said nothing

could go wrong. Technical hitch.

All right.

Look, Phil and me are report for duty in the morning as usual.

Anyone asked about Mike's night -time manoeuvres, we know nothing.

Yeah, Mike calls the jail.

Wait. This is the one.

Let's have a look.

Someone's been busy.

Come on.

Hey,

sir. What about firearms?

More than likely.

He is ex -army.

Well, let's face it, Ventress. All we've got on our side is the element of

surprise. Sir.

Lawyer's part round the back.

Stacked on the left.

Ventress. You take Bellamy and Rogers round the back.

Rowan, you and Bates are with me. I'm venturous.

When you hear us go through the front door, move.

Be careful.

I want it, I want it. I'm not moving that ledge until things quieten down.

get out!

We'll pay her, so we'll go.

Not a penny.

Consider it compensation for all the trouble you've caused me.

Come on, Nicky, let's get out of here.

Move it. Go, go, go.

Hey,

soldier. How about coming quiet?

Don't be stupid.

I'll train for this, pal.

He won't.

No, soldier, we protected our own. We didn't abandon them to the enemy.

Michael, right.

If he ever walks again, it'll be no thanks to you. Right.

Let's get this vermin outside.

You all right, Rowan?

Yes, thanks, Sarge. Get a hand clean, too, if I were you. Yeah.

Well, well done. It was a good result.

A good result?

I had it down to the chimney sweep.

You know what you should do now?

What's that, Sarge?

Go and see a doctor.

You'd have done the same.

No, I wouldn't. I don't believe you.

I've got two children, Kate.

They're what's most important to me. It's not worth the risk.

I had no choice.

It's up.

Slightly.

So how long are you going to go on trying to prove you're superhuman?

wife, mother?

I thought you said yesterday that I wasn't pulling my weight.

I was talking about quality of work, not quantity.

Why are you so determined to make this difficult for yourself?

It is difficult.

Only because you've set yourself such impossible targets.

Why not settle for being human, like the rest of us?

I just feel that if I don't keep pushing myself, it'll all be taken away from

me. Why?

You've made it. You're a successful GP.

Oh, Kate.

Perhaps this compulsion for hard work is about something else.

What do you mean?

Well, if I were you, I'd ask myself what it was I was running away from.

Hiya.

It's been quite a day.

Yeah.

What happened to your hand?

I was making an arrest.

They had a knife.

Oh, Nick.

It's my job.

Let me have a look at it.

No, it's all right.

The hospital took care of it.

It wasn't just you.

Sorry?

I'd imagined it as well.

Your face when I told you we were going to have a baby.

It should have been special.

I wanted it.

Everything's spoiled.

I'm frightened, Nick.

It's all going wrong.

No, it's not.

I love you.

I know.

Well, that's all right, then.

I love you, too.

Well, that's even better.

Why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
