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

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

Afternoon, Claude.

Hey.

I said afternoon, Claude. I heard you the first time.

What are you up to?

It's me arthritis.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, when I've been walking about, I have to support me back on something.

Well, you're all right.

That new gamekeeper's gone now.

You're clever enough to confuse yourself.

Aren't you getting a bit old for all this?

I'm getting a bit old for anything.

Morris! Tony, Mr. Cooper!

Rifle inspection.

Have you cleaned it this morning?

Yes, sir.

Oh, look out, they're going to town. You know the rules, Morris.

You stick by them or you can get off my farm.

Yes, Mr Cooper.

Have you moved the sheep out of the home meadow?

Yes, sir. Have you mended the hole in the fence?

Yes, sir. Good. Because the next time there's an accident on the range, it's

coming out of your wages.

Then lock it out again, sir.

Good.

Well, let's get on with it.

What signs have you had so far, Mrs Swinson?

I'm late, and I'm getting sick at mornings.

How late are you?

About a fortnight now.

I know the signs, Doctor, and I just know.

How many children have you got?

Eight.

I don't know what we're going to do.

Well, the first thing is to find out whether you are or not.

I can't go to hospital.

I don't want my husband to know yet.

He doesn't have to.

There's this new test you can do at home.

You take one of these today and another tomorrow.

If you're not pregnant, your period should start almost immediately.

If it doesn't, I'll have to do the routine tests.

I see.

I'll call in the day after tomorrow and we'll see what's happened.

All right?

Aidensfield Police.

No, I'm afraid the doctor's not here at the moment.

All right.

Well, I can be up there straight away.

Yeah, I'll call her. Bye.

Mr Stavely, Dr Rowan will see you now.

What's the surgery?

Nick Rowan. Is Kate there, please?

I'm afraid Dr Rowan's in with a patient.

It is an emergency.

In that case, I'll pass you to Dr Radcliffe.

It's a comfortable room.

Nick? James.

Sorry to bother you. Um, can you come up to my creek farm?

There's been a shooting accident.

Now then, young Swenson, put that rabbit down. It's not yours.

It's not yours, neither.

It is when it's in that snare.

Then that's poaching, and it's against the law.

Yeah, cheeky little devil. All right, go on. Take it home to your mother. Tell

her it's a present from Claude Gringer.

Thanks, Mr Gringer.

Hey, hey, hey, what have you got there?

It's ours.

Oh, like the rabbit.

Where did you find it?

It's our secret.

Where were you when it happened, Mr Morris?

I was just coming out of my cottage and I heard the bang.

Where'd it go?

Well, it's round the side, I'll tell you.

What was he shooting?

Well, it could have been crows or targets or anything, really.

Sometimes he just shoots for the fun of it.

That's a Lee -Enfield 303.

Bit of a mess, innit?

It's an army rifle.

He's had it for years.

Well, where'd he get it?

I couldn't say.

Nick?

Excuse me.

Some concussion, superficial burns. Could have been a lot worse.

Well, how soon will I be able to talk to him?

Well, they'll keep him in overnight, at least.

What do you need to know?

Well, mainly what he's doing with you.

I see.

Well, I want them to have a closer look at him in hospital, but there should be

no problem in seeing him tomorrow.

Let's be off.

James?

Is Kate staying in Whitby again tonight?

Yes. Well, I think so. It's her turn to do the rounds at the old folks' home

tomorrow.

Were you expecting to see her?

No, not especially.

I only seem to see her at weekends nowadays.

Well,

she's taking a lot on at the moment.

Even I have trouble keeping up with her.

Yep.

Oh, off for a weekend shooting, are we?

No, not with this.

Look, a round exploded in the breach.

Oh, that's nasty.

Anyone hurt?

Ron Cooper.

I don't think it's too serious.

What shall I do with it?

Well, it looks like wartime stock.

There's a lot that turns up.

Divisions save it until they've got a boatload and they dump it all at sea.

Well, where did you get this from, Rowan?

Ron Cooper, Askerick Farm.

Does he have a certificate for this?

Well, I'll check, but the name doesn't ring a bell.

Right, then charge him.

There's too many people think their old wartime souvenirs don't count.

Do you fancy a game of darts on the way home? The missus is over with her

sister. While the cat's away, eh?

You can talk.

All right.

You're on.

She's pregnant again.

She thinks she is.

Do you think she can cope?

Well, she has up to now.

I think it's one of those families where the children grow up quickly. They all

seem to do that bit.

Why hasn't she gone on the pill?

I've tried talking to her about it.

Maybe you'd have more chance of convincing her.

With eight children, you'd think she'd be easily persuaded.

In more ways than one.

Right. What next?

Look, I can sort this lot out.

Why don't you go back to Aidensfield? Seems ages since you were there midweek.

Take tomorrow morning off.

What about surgery?

And the old folks?

I can cope.

Go on. Give Nick a surprise.

Thank you.

But I don't want you to think I'm not pulling my weight.

I won't.

Do you?

Give it up, Scotch.

Where's George?

Golfing again.

Golfing?

It's all right for some.

That new gamekeeper's been in looking for you.

Oh, and what did you tell him?

That he'd gone to Scarborough, like he said.

Good girl.

I'll bring you a sticker up back next time I don't go.

You on the run again, then, Claude?

I'm surprised to see you out. Thought your gaffer had got you confined to

barracks. Oh, give over. Don't spoil a good evening.

No, he's away for the night.

What have you been doing to his lordship's new gamekeeper, then?

Nothing. He just assumes the worst, doesn't he? He's even threatened to

Alfred. Said he'd throw him on the estate.

And did he?

I don't know. You'd better ask the dog.

Actually, please.

Hello, Phil?

Is Nick there?

No, he's just left.

Do you want me to call after him? No, don't worry. I'll see him when he gets

home. Bye.

So it's turning out more than you expected, then.

What's that?

Miss Whitby -Lark.

You're getting to spend a lot more evenings by yourself, then.

Yeah, well, Kate's been busy.

That's the way it goes, isn't it?

My missus never worked.

Well, at times I wish she had mine.

I wish you wouldn't have time to make your sandwiches.

Exactly.

You want to watch it, though?

You know what happened to Oscar?

Oh, leave off, Al.

But not exactly in the divorce court.

We're just not seeing much of each other at the moment.

Go on, son. Go on. Go on, boy.

Leave it. Leave it, son. Leave it.

Go on.

Leave it, boy.

Keep everything in the farm, darling.

You asleep?

Yes, I am.

Go away. You smell like a brewery.

What do you make of that?

Have you seen that Nick Ronan?

No. Why?

Why? Have you seen that?

That's rat poison.

That's at Flaming Gamekeeper price. He'd only try to poison Alfred.

I'll have his guts for garters. I'll have your guts for garters if you don't

it off the counter, Claude.

What are you going to do then, Claude?

So much he won't forget.

I didn't know you were coming home last night.

Where were you?

I phoned Ashfordly and the pub.

I went to Alf's local for a game of darts.

Charming.

I didn't know you were coming home.

You haven't been home midweek for ages.

I come all the way over here with wine and dinner to find nobody here.

You could have run.

I wanted to surprise you.

Well, I'm sorry, but I didn't know.

Want some breakfast?

No, thanks.

I don't feel too good.

You got hangover?

Nick, I had one glass of wine.

Whatever else this life is doing to us, it's not turning me into a roaring

drunk, unlike them.

I was playing dance.

But you're sitting round here on your own.

I'd better go.

You can have last night's dinner tonight if it's not ruined.

Hello, Mr Cooper.

How are you feeling?

Better than yesterday.

I expect you know why I'm here.

I've an idea.

Do you have a certificate for that 303 rifle, Mr Cooper?

No.

Where did you get it from?

It's been around for ages. I brought it back with me after the war.

What about the ammunition?

The same.

I was just trying it out for a bit of excitement.

You do realise I'm going to have to charge you with illegal possession of a

firearm? There was no harm in it, Constable. After all, I was the only one

got hurt.

It's an uncertificated rifle, Mr Cooper, wherever it came from.

Have you got anything else like that?

No.

Any more ammunition?

No.

Wake the dead up now, it's you.

What the hell do you want?

I've got something you might be interested in. Really? I very much doubt

For the right price, mind.

Look, look, I've had a very bad night. What are you going on about?

Harry Price.

And the answer to your prayers.

What are you doing with that?

Do you want him?

Oh, how many have you got?

A few.

Do you want to?

Where did you get them from?

That's no question.

You'd better come in.

All right.

Bye.

Nice morning off, Dr Rowan.

Yes, thanks.

Is it good to get home once in a while?

Sorry? Being at home.

let's make a nice change yes yes

Hey, Joe.

Where you going with that gun in your hand?

Anybody home?

Hey, Joe.

I said, where you going with that gun in your hand?

I'm going down a two -mile lane.

You know, I thought I'd mess around with another man.

You know, I probably mess around with enough, man.

That ain't pretty cool.

Yes, I did. I shot her.

You know, I shot her when I made a mess around town.

And I gave her the gun.

I shot her.

No,

no, it's better than that.

Look, all I need is your truck and some crates.

Of course you'll get paid.

Right. Meet me tonight at Fawley Ponds.

About ten o 'clock.

I believe his lordship has just restocked.

Ta -da!

Constable? I never knew this place was here.

Well, it's no secret.

There were 50 men worked here before the war.

Really?

Well, I haven't been touched since the 30s.

Mr Cooper keeps talking about starting it up again, but I can't see it myself.

What's in the hut?

Search me.

A few tools.

I don't know. Mr Cooper's got the key.

What about his house? Can you let me in there?

Into Mr Cooper's house?

I couldn't do that.

He'd have me shot.

Why? What's he got to hide?

Well, nothing.

He's just a bit keen on his privacy as Mr Cooper.

Well, in that case, I might have to get a search warrant.

What for?

Because someone's hiding something from me.

And I won't know what it is until I find it.

I'm over here.

Crying out loud.

Help!

I'm over here.

He's here.

Good.

Hope he knows how to keep his mouth shut.

Well, of course he does.

Good. Because we are going to have every fish out of that lake.

Are you sure this is going to work, Claude?

What are

you

doing here?

You and I need to talk.

I've just tried to phone you.

Come upstairs.

Where's James? In his sitting room, probably.

We can talk on my third trip. You won't be disturbed.

Yeah, what did I tell you?

Give me the dog.

I'll get down the other end, lob a couple in down there. You get the boat

start picking them out.

Hey, but don't get in till you hear the bangs, otherwise we shall finish up

filleting you.

Look, I'm sorry.

Last night wasn't your fault. I should have rung you earlier in the day. I

wouldn't have been in.

That's true.

What's happening between us?

I don't know.

We just don't seem to be on the same wavelength anymore.

Yeah, well, it's you that's changed.

What started off as a part -time partnership with you and James has

become a full -time commitment.

You agreed to the partnership.

Well, yeah, I know I did.

But at the time, I didn't know it was going to be more important than our

marriage. So what are you saying? You want me to give it up?

No, I'm not asking you to do that.

What then?

Well, you could try and compromise a bit, Kate.

Don't you care what happens with us?

Of course I do.

Well, it's not just up to me, you know.

I have to stay at the police house. It's part of my job.

And this is my job.

Here.

All right, I didn't realise the job was going to be as big as it is.

But it's exciting.

I feel involved, and James treats me as an equal.

And I don't.

Don't be silly. I didn't mean it like that.

Look, maybe we both need some time on our own.

What for?

To think things through.

Well, you can do all the thinking you want, Kate.

Because as far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed.

Yes, Your Lordship.

It's not often His Lordship calls.

What's up?

I reckon we're about to find out.

Has anybody heard from Rowan this morning?

No, Sarge. Then get him on the phone, now.

I don't know what he does at night in Aidensfield, but if he's incapable of

preventing wholesale removal of private property, then he's no use to the North

Riding Constabulary.

Oh, good morning, Nick. Sarge at Blake.

And where were you last night, Rowan?

Well, you were otherwise engaged. Somebody cleaned out Lord Ashfordly's

stock of trout.

Now get up to Fawley Ponds, see the keeper, and then report to me.

FAST!

Billy, put it back.

Anything.

Come on. Let's go home.

Kate. Hello.

I hope you don't mind me mentioning it, but I heard you being sick this morning

and I wondered if everything was all right.

Not really.

What's the problem?

I'm pregnant.

Ah.

And I gather you're not entirely pleased.

No.

Have you told Nick?

That's the problem.

Nick is?

Well, we're going through a bit of a bad patch at the moment.

Neither of us wants to compromise.

It just seems easier to ignore it.

Don't you think it would be better to talk to him and tell him how you feel?

I have to work out how I feel first.

It's the wrong time professionally, and I'm just wondering if it's the wrong

time for us as well.

500.

There must have been at least 500.

What's left?

Well, it's hard to tell.

Probably no more than a dozen.

How could they take so many in one night?

Must have had transport.

They must have had dynamite.

Dynamite?

It's an old army trick. We did it during the war in India.

If you couldn't be bothered to take a rod and line fishing, you just chucked a

grenade in. All the fish float to the surface and you take your pick.

It's only a month since his lordship restocked.

How's he taking it?

You best ask your sergeant that one, lad.

Because he were on the carpet first thing this morning.

I think he might be looking for you.

Hey, he found me.

Hello.

Hello, Mrs. Swinton.

Hiya.

You look a lot happier than you did the other day.

I am that, Doctor. I have a load off my mind, you could say.

Come on in. Kettle's just boiled.

Normal? Yeah, I started yesterday afternoon, and that means I'm definitely

pregnant, right? Yes.

When did you take the second pill?

Yesterday morning, like you said.

Then in the afternoon, I knew for sure.

Marvellous, isn't it? I suppose it is good news.

And so quickly, too.

Now, the next thing is to make sure that you don't have any more scares like

that. No more mistakes.

No! In here, Sandy.

Billy's hurt himself.

I thought so.

How have you done that?

Let me see.

Well, that needs cold water on it.

What is it, Doctor?

It looks like a chemical burn.

Where have you been?

No, I've not been off the farm.

I'm going to have to take Billy to hospital. Can you come too?

Aye, you watch the other sandwich.

Do neither of you know what caused this?

No?

Come in.

You wanted to see me, Count?

Well, that depends, Rowan, on whether or not... You have some encouraging news.

Do you realise how stupid this makes us look?

I mean, we're used to the local wildlife suffering the odd bit of poaching, but

this is coming very close to full -scale extermination.

Lord Ackersley's words on the matter don't bear repetition.

It looks like they used dynamite, Sarge.

Dynamite?

Well, that's a bit out of Greengrass's league, isn't it?

Have you seen any other suspicious characters hanging around here lately?

No. But, Rowan, I want this cleared up immediately before Lord Ashfordly gets

the phone to our superiors.

What else have you got on at the moment?

Well, I need to get a search warrant for Cooper's farm, Sarge.

On what grounds?

Well, I think he may have some illegal ammunition up there.

Well, stop messing about with Cooper's relics. This is far more important. I'll

come out to the scene of the crime. That way we can show Lord Asherley that this

matter is receiving our fullest attention.

It looks like more than an ass has burned to me.

Are you sure you haven't touched anything around the farm, Billy?

Nothing. You must tell the doctor, Billy. It's important.

I ain't done nothing.

Well, what about your dad's shed? Have you been in there?

No.

Can I have a word, Mrs Swinton?

Billy's not in any immediate danger, but I need to find out what chemical caused

it. Could you phone your husband and ask him what the kids could have got hold

of on the farm?

Right -o, Doctor.

Thanks.

It looks like they used this boat, Sarge.

Yes.

So if they got into that, they must have been standing just about

here.

Hang on.

Owen.

What do you make of this?

What's that, Sarge?

It's a grenade pen.

And I was in India during the war, and using these was a common enough

I think I should get that search warrant.

Well, you're not suggesting Cooper's responsible for this, are you?

I thought he was still in hospital.

Well, he is.

But two military incidents in two days.

That's got to be grounds for a search, Sarge.

Well, that's a fair point.

Best go on to the magistrate straight away.

Mr. Twinton.

One of the surgeons had a look at Billy's arm.

How bad is it? It'll heal in time, but we still need to find out what caused

Have you got through to your husband yet?

No. You see, we think it might have been phosphorus leaking from explosives.

I thought we've nothing like that on the farm.

I think you need to take a good look around.

Yeah.

Sorry, Mrs Swinton, we haven't seen him today.

I will tell him if he comes in, though.

I hope your Billy gets better.

Tra.

Will you marry me?

What have you done, robbed a bank? Something like that.

Where's yours?

I'll give you three guesses.

When he gets back, tell him I've cleared my slate.

Wonders will never see.

All right. How much is it?

Let me see.

£12 .36.

I would tell him I've cleared half of it.

Hey, have you seen Swinton out on the bus?

No, why?

One of his kids is in hospital. He's been burned by some explosives.

Which one?

One of the older boys, Billy.

So that's what it was.

What?

Nothing.

Tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you.

I was a lonely soul.

I had nobody till I met you.

But you keep me waiting all of the time. What can I

do?

It's your life and you can do what you want.

Watch your life.

Well, this looks official.

It is, Mr Cooper.

You told me yesterday you didn't have any more ammunition.

Yes. Or any other illegal weapons.

Nothing.

Well, we've reason to believe that's not quite true. In fact, I've got a warrant

here to search your property.

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

I have nothing to say.

You tell me it's all right.

You don't mind a little pain.

You say you just want me to thank you for a try.

And

where

have you been, Rowan?

Ashfordly Hospital, George.

Well, I've just been talking to your wife. It's a pity you two can't exchange

few words every now and again.

She'd just come from the hospital, too.

What's happened?

Dr Rowan came in to report she's treating some kid who's been handling

explosives. So would you kindly tell me what exactly is going on in Aidensfield?

Rangers, wartime ammunition dumps. Where do we look round Aidensfield?

I don't know, Sarge. Well, think, man.

There was a lot of commando training up on the moors.

Where were they based?

Well, they moved around a lot.

That was a general idea, wasn't it?

What about rifle ranges?

Well, that lot, they'd have set them up wherever they fancied. What about the

Home Guard?

Well, they'd have left the stuff anywhere.

Right, well, I'll get on to the MOD. They must have some records.

I reckon Cooper's farm's involved, sir.

Right, well, take Bellamy. See what you can find.

Right, thanks.

Well, they've got no records of wartime ammunition dumps, so it could be

anywhere. What about Catrick?

Oh, the same. But they're offering a team of sappers to clear up when we find

it.

So long as there's stuff still there.

Oh, no. This is all we need.

What do you want, Greengrass?

Well, I don't know why I'm bothering, but I've come to do you a favour.

That'll be the day.

Ah, well, this is it.

Because while you're wasting time insulting me, there's a load of old army

ammunition floating around the area.

Tell me something I don't know.

I'm going to. Some kids have found it. Who? The Swinton lad.

Oh.

So they got some, have they?

No, that's why I've come to tell you. I've seen them with it.

Right, Greengrass, tell me everything you know, including any information you

may have about grenades.

Grenades?

I don't know what about grenades.

Let's keep an open mind on that subject, shall we?

Billy, anything you tell me is just for me.

I won't play your mum or your dad.

Now, I know you found something you shouldn't have, and you're hurt because

it, and I want to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen to anyone

They're in the quarry.

What are?

The explosives.

Sandy and the others are going to blow him up this afternoon.

Right.

Well, according to Dr Rowan, the stuff's in Ashcrid Quarry and the kids are

planning some sort of explosion this afternoon.

Mr Cooper, come and open the door. We know you're in there.

Mr Cooper, we have a search warrant.

Open the door or we'll break it in.

Well, he's not replying.

Right, Greengrass, show me where this quarry is. Ventress, you can drive.

May I remind you this is my house?

Yeah, I know, Mr Cooper, and I've got a warrant to search it. I shall never let

you pass the gate.

You and all those like you.

What do you mean?

There'll come a time when we're needed.

People like me.

Strong, determined, ready to stand up for what's right.

You wouldn't care if the communists took over.

I don't think that's imminent.

Then you're a fool.

What about Cuba?

Right now, I'm more worried about what's happening in my own backyard.

Nick?

Let's take a look at this.

Oh, there's nothing to worry about there.

Really? What about the grenades?

They're not fused.

Here, let me show you.

No, no.

It's all right, thank you.

Tommy, you collect.

I don't believe you're going to do it.

Yeah. Yeah.

I am too.

You're going to take our money and scarper.

I knew you'd say that, Mickey Randall. So I've got two explosions.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. This one's just for starters. Then you'll brass up for the biggest lot of

fireworks you'll ever see.

What do you know about Cooper's collection?

Nothing.

Now, come on.

Well, I know it's there.

You know where it came from?

Oh, aye? Well, I found some of it.

You found it?

Yeah, boxes of gear.

Well, I reckon we should hand it in, but Mr Cooper thought not, and he's the

boss.

And where does he keep these boxes of gear?

In the hut up at the old quarry.

the radio, Phil.

Stay there.

Which one's Sandy? Over there.

Right. Come here, you.

There's another one over there.

That's right. Get back here, boss.

Nothing to watch in the hut.

Get down. Come on, get down as fast as you can.

Come on.

Get out.

It's like being back in the army, isn't it?

Did you ever get as far as India, Greengrass?

I know what you're insinuating, and the answer is no.

Sarge, we'd better move further back before that hut goes up.

Are you OK?

Yeah, what are you doing here?

Billy told me about the explosives.

Well, do us a favour.

Help Alf get this lot back down the village. There's another lot going to go

in a minute.

All right.

Rowan.

If memory serves, this is where we find a big rock and hide behind it.

I think at the time I met you...

Right. The sooner some people stop fighting the last war, the better.

I was saving it for the next one.

Well, I hope you weren't going to be on my side.

Are you sure that's the lot, Mr Cooper?

Rowan. Outside, I'd like a word.

Bellamy.

Who else had access to this stuff, Rowan?

Morris.

Well, he doesn't seem like the Ned Kelly of the North riding to me.

Well, what if he just passed it on, Sarge?

Do what?

Well, not that we can prove anything, of course.

Well, that doesn't help me with his lordship, though, does it?

Well, it might, if he asks his new gamekeeper to be a little less

Is there something you know that I don't, Rowan?

Just something I heard in the pub, Sergeant.

Hello. Hello.

Just put the kettle on.

Good.

Kids, eh?

How are they?

Nothing serious.

Sandy Swinton made five bob out of the afternoon.

Resourceful little beggars, aren't they?

Some of them.

Can you stay?

For tea?

I've got to get back for evening surgery.

You're right.

Look at that colour.

Nick? What?

I...
