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

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

Morning. Is it?

Still?

It's your van, sir.

It most certainly is, Constable.

You do realise this is private land?

I do.

And in answer to your next question, yes, I have obtained permission from Mr

Kettleton to park here.

And I pay through the nose for the privilege.

Is there some other way in which I can help you?

No, I don't think so.

Well, in that case, if you'll excuse me, my son and I have an appointment at

your local school.

Right.

I don't want to go to school today, Papa.

Everybody has to go to school, Simon.

I've got a headache, though.

Tell you what.

How about we go fishing first and we call round to the school later?

OK.

Go on, then.

You got one of those in there for me, Al?

Oh, it's built -in radar he's got for tea being poured anywhere in Yorkshire.

Usual, is it? Shaken, not stirred.

Now then, Bellamy, all set, are we?

Rearing to go, Sarge. That's what I like to hear.

Sarge, Eileen wants to know what time she's supposed to be ready.

One o 'clock.

We wouldn't want to be late for the kick -off, seeing as I'm taking it.

Kick -off?

Lexton's big day.

He's been made president of the rugby club, so he gets to enter a team in the

summer sevens.

Guess who he's been daft enough to choose as his captain?

No, not that I've any intentions of turning out, mind you.

I'm only raving maniacs playing the sevens.

Heart attack territory.

I thought you were playing.

A lot can happen in 24 hours, Nick.

I've known people put their shoulders out just rolling over in bed.

Usually happens the night of the summer sevens. Funny that, isn't it?

You all right now?

Looking different from what you're used to, eh?

Yeah.

Yeah, there's nowhere quite like this part of the world, Simon.

How much longer are we staying, Papa?

I don't know.

I haven't made any plans yet.

I thought you were having a nice time.

I am.

I wish Mum was with us, though.

Your mother never could stand fishing, Simon.

You know, she used to say that the fish looked at you, sort of accusing me, you

know.

Will you be staying in Aidensfield long, Mr Carter?

Well, it's hard to say at the moment, Mrs Watkins, but if you could take him

just a few weeks, I'd be very grateful.

I'm sure that we can.

Thank you. Perhaps I could squeeze him into your class, Miss Weston. Fine.

It's Simon, is it?

Oops.

Hey, watch it, you lot.

We can join in if you want.

I never had to dance at Rugby Union, Buff Claude.

It's not for pleasure, is it? It's business.

What sort of business?

Mine. I never knew you knew out about rugby, Claude. You would be amazed,

Joseph, just how much I know about you know not about me knowing not about.

What's that mean?

I'm not sure. It sounded all right when I started.

What's your plan?

Quite right you should ask, Constable.

Given the lawless times in which we live, eh?

So?

Looking for my friend Mr Carter. Don't suppose you'd know where he got to,

you?

Well, he did say something about going to this school, but that was this

morning. Oh, I see.

Your name, sir?

Lockton Clive.

From London?

Which makes... Three of us, right?

Yeah, well, if I see Mr Carter, I'll tell him you were looking for him.

Most kind of you.

My head hurts.

Still?

And my legs.

That's all that running about you've been doing.

Are you not feeling well?

No, he's had a bit of a cold.

Oh.

What about some crisps, then, eh?

All right.

Magic word.

Please.

OK.

You all right?

Brady's been sick.

Oh, never mind. I'll clean up.

It's OK. I've got it.

Shall we go to the doctor?

No. I don't think so. Just a bit of calf sickness, that's all.

It's been a bit off colour all day.

I'll get a cloth.

Maggie?

Can you have a look at this kid in the garden? He's really sick.

Sure.

What was a quick getaway?

It's great the way they took off like that.

If the chance be in Carthage, the last thing he'd do is stick them back in and

drive off.

Meet people local?

Just visiting, I think.

He told Gina they were staying in a caravan just outside the village.

Oh, yeah, I met them. I had a word with them this morning.

They've done up at Cattleton's Field.

Oh.

Well, I might just drop in if I'm passing that way tomorrow.

You missed out, you know, Maggie.

You should have been a copper.

You're even nosier than I am.

Cheers. Cheers.

Feeling any better?

Not much.

Blackbird

singing in the dead of night

Hello?

I'm Maggie Bolton, the district nurse here in Aidensfield.

Oh, yes?

I heard your little boy wasn't very well yesterday.

Oh, but a car sickness.

No cause for alarm, nurse.

Well, I'm happy to take a look at him if you like.

Yes, all right.

Something wrong with your leg, Bellamy?

It's my hamstring, Sarge.

Tightened up on me in the night. I think it's all that extra practice I've been

doing.

This means you won't be free for the match.

Sarge, you only knew how disappointed I was.

Well, this means you won't need the afternoon off.

Well, I did think I might go down and give the lads a bit of a shout -like.

I'm sure you did, Bellamy.

From the comfort and safety of the bar, no doubt.

But I think you'll be more gainfully employed back here.

Back here, Sarge?

Cleaning out that spare cell that you've been turning into your own private

rubbish dump.

Now, feel free to make a start on it any time.

Within the next five minutes.

Well, tell you what, Bill.

Don't they put one over him that time?

Oh, that's not nice, Nick. To mock the afflicted. Get knotted, will you?

Hey, Phil.

Have a good limp.

So, how

are you feeling?

Got a sore head.

Why don't you just snuggle down?

Mum!

It's all right.

How does that feel?

OK.

The temperature's a bit high.

He's had the sniffles for the last few days now.

That could be it.

Have any of his friends back home had cold?

Possibly. And you're from London?

Yeah. On holiday?

That's right.

I think it would be a good idea if one of our local GPs had a look at him.

I'm sure that's not necessary.

You can't be too careful with children, Mr Carter.

No, of course you can't, nurse.

But then again, let's not overreact, eh?

I'd hardly call it that.

Look, the boy's a bit of a hypochondriac.

By this time tomorrow, I'm sure he'll be bouncing around again as usual.

So it's a bit soon to call in a heavy mob, I think.

I still feel a doctor should see him. And I don't want him getting this out of

proportion and spoiling his holiday.

If he doesn't pick up in the next few days, I'll get back to you.

Like a shot.

Mr Carter.

My telephone number.

I don't know.

Now then, Bellamy, what are you doing here?

You won't believe what's happened, Dad.

Surprised me. Well, it's me leg.

Loosened up overnight, look.

Oh, aye?

Well, in that case, you'd best get yourself stripped off.

Thanks, Sarge. And clean up that cell tomorrow.

Right, Sarge.

Young Phil, one of your stars, then?

Oh, Bellamy's all right if he doesn't have to do anything clever, like kick

ball. Oh, the lad you should keep your eye on is young Fairbrother. He can run

like a stag and sidestep in midair. And kick like Barry John?

Barry John?

He's not a Yorkshireman.

Keep on running.

Keep on hiding.

One fine day, come on, I'll be the one who makes you wonder then.

I'm gonna be your man.

Right. Oh, he's a good lad, that fair brother.

I tell you.

Mind you, you probably won't believe it, but when I wore him in my pump, I used

to back -heel him over from that far out.

You're quite right, Claude.

I don't believe it.

When it's just because the doctor and all that, you can't get rid of me quick

enough. Thank you, Nina.

It wasn't exactly welcoming when I was there.

Then when I was going, I was... The time's on his car. All four suck at

pancakes.

Keep on running.

Keep on hiding.

One fine day I'm gonna be the one to make you understand.

What are you doing in here, Greengrass?

Oh, I've always been partial to a bit of rugby, you know, Mr. Blaketon.

And I tell you something else, I'm very impressed with the set up here.

I'm thinking of applying for membership.

You're the president. You might be able to put my name forward. If I thought

there was even a chance, I'd blackball you myself.

You're going the right way to get struck off my Christmas card list.

Well,

you have got a problem, sir.

The tie valves have been removed.

Any idea who might have been responsible?

No. I thought I heard something last night.

Probably some kids moping about.

Your friend, find you?

My friend, Constable.

Clive Loxton, he was here looking for you yesterday.

You don't know any Clive Loxton.

Look, you couldn't help me, could you? Find a local mechanic, fix these tyres

for me.

I'll ask at the village garage.

I'd be very grateful.

Papa!

Excuse me, would you?

See you later.

Get that bath on.

Very impressive young man.

Try very much.

I like the old swerve. That's the way I used to do it, you know.

Oh, you used to do a bit, did you?

Oh, the Lancashire League clubs would have to be at one time.

Warrington, Widney, St Helens, a lot. Really? Yeah.

If you ever think of going over to the professionals, I mean, you'll have to go

over the hill, like, to get the real money, but I've put my address on there.

All right.

Put it away.

Just getting to it, I might be able to make one or two arrangements.

Right. All right.

Good luck.

Now then, what did Greengrass want?

Your autograph?

You'll laugh when I tell you, will I?

Quick through.

That's it.

Oh, missed it. There we go.

Keep going.

That's it. Next one up.

I think actually we're going to have to stop.

Well done, everyone. Off you go and get changed.

You're in charge, eh?

I wouldn't put it as strongly as that.

There's a caravan parked just outside the village and some kids were heard

hanging around there last night. Oh, yeah?

Well, someone's car tyres were let down.

I just wondered if any of your lot know anything about it.

Well, if they do, they certainly haven't let anything slip today.

Well, if you hear anything.

You're new at the school, eh?

Newish.

I'm Nick Rowan.

I'm what passes as the...

Long arm of the law around here.

Joe Weston.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Come on, then.

Here we are, kids. Well done, well done.

Have you been playing for Yorkshire yet?

Enough of the talking. Get the busy.

Come on. All right. All right.

How many times do you want to tell him, Ingress?

What? This club is for members only.

Look, I failed to come in. Do you want to see me programmed?

That just entitled you to admittance to the ground. Now leave!

You're not going the right way to get new members, you know.

His name's Carter.

He's part -time at Cutleton's Field, just down by the river.

Aye, aye. Well, I've got a couple of rush jobs on today.

Oh, we've got a minute, then.

Right.

Well, I haven't seen the kid yet, but he must be with him.

So how soon can you get here?

All right.

Don't worry.

They're not going anywhere.

Bye.

Hello again.

Oh, hello.

Did you find Mr Carter?

I did, actually, yeah.

Funny. Why?

Well, he didn't seem to have heard of a Clive Loxton.

Ah, well, that's because we only met the once.

At a party.

And between you and me, we were both peeing pink elephants at that time.

But I was tipped off he was in the area, so I thought I'd surprise him.

And did you?

I think I did a bit, yeah.

So, how'd the sevens go?

Well, that was brilliant, I think.

Oh, that's more than you are now from the look of it. The last time I saw eyes

like that, they were in a sheep's head.

Good night, then.

I can't remember a lot about it, to be honest.

Except for one thing.

What?

What Ken Fairbrother told me about Greengrass's latest racket.

Somebody help me, yeah Somebody help me now

Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong Any chance

of a lift? My car's out of commission.

It's worth.

Now, the surgery won't be open.

The district, no.

She'll be off on a call in a minute.

Oh, no.

We could try the hospital.

Right.

Can

I

help you? Yes.

You can arrest the pigs that kidnapped my child.

I want that man arrested now.

I need a few details first. You are?

My name is Michelle Blanchard.

And where do you fit into all this, Mr. Loxton?

I work for Miss Blanchard.

As what, exactly?

I run my own private inquiry agency.

And that allows you to let people's tires down, does it?

Oh, me, Constable.

Right, now, what's all this about?

It was a year ago, about.

My husband and I were divorced.

Your husband being Mr.

Carter, right? That's right.

I was granted custody of our only child. My husband, he was granted access.

Generous access.

But not enough for him.

Day and night, he followed us.

So in the end, I took Simon to my parents' home in France.

Even there, he came after us.

One afternoon, it...

It was a few weeks ago now. I come home from the shops and they tell me that his

father's called to take Simon out.

I have not seen my baby since.

So, has she been sleeping?

She hasn't very much.

Probably a milk tea's coming through.

Anyway, found him wind and limb.

Aren't you, sweetheart?

Next, she hears from a friend he's turned up in London with the kid.

Well, did you inform the police? Of course.

But by the time they get there, he's already gone, taking Simon with him.

Your London police were not what you call enthusiastic.

That's why we were brought in.

And where we failed, you found him, did you?

Wasn't that difficult?

The point is that they are here right now in your village.

So, if you'd like to come with us, Constable, just to make the whole thing

official. I'd prefer to handle this on my own, thank you, Mr Loxton.

I want to be there when you arrest him.

Hey, Mrs... Miss Blanchard!

I'll have to ask you to calm down a bit.

I understand the child's not been well.

Not well?

You tell me, my baby is sick.

I want to go to him, Loxton, now!

You're the boss.

Allez, vite!

Nick, I've got the land rebel with me. Shall I come too?

Yeah.

Listen, I just thought I'd let you know, you know the little castle lad?

Seems to have taken a turn for the worse, so I've just dropped him and his

off at the hospital.

Thanks, Gina.

Bye.

Miss Blanchard, it appears your son's been taken into hospital.

Hospital? Yeah, you'd better follow us.

Mr

Carter,

the doctor's having a look at him now. Thank you.

Yes?

Flood?

Ah, Bellamy.

Your friend and mine, Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, and his sudden interest

hanging about the rugby club.

Yeah? Well, since I don't believe it's to improve his nefarious little mind, I

think he's up to something.

So have a sniff around and see if you can find out what.

I think I know what it is, Sarge.

You do?

Well, you've heard about his latest money -making wheeze, haven't you,

No. Talent scout.

For one of the big Lancashire rugby league clubs.

At least that's his story. I mean, whether they know anything about it is

entirely different matter.

You're not serious.

Between me and you, Sarge, he's already tapped up Ken Furbrother.

What? At the heavens.

Right from under your nose.

Bellamy, this time I really will kill him.

Don't you mean our son? How dare you just kidnap him like that?

Kidnap?

He came willingly, gladly.

Liar. Besides, Michel, who's the real kidnapper here, you or me?

It wasn't me who dragged him off to France, away from all his friends,

everything he'd ever known. He was happy in France. He hated it.

I'll never get him away from me.

Arrest him.

You won't be going far.

You're Simon's mother, are you, Miss Blanchard?

Yes, and I would like to see my baby, please. I'm afraid that won't be

at the moment.

I was so sorry.

Pull the signs out.

It will have done its contracted pull.

You are sure you've had the vaccine?

Of course, I'm not a full sister.

Hello, honey.

Oh, my pussy.

How are you, my cutie?

Hello, mommy.

Where's Papa?

Right, well, let's go back to our cart of caravans.

I don't think we'll be able to get him to check.

We need to make a list of everybody who's been in contact with the carton.

Right, we'll start with staff and customers if they haven't filled up.

Come in.

Mr President.

Ah, Kenneth, lad. Come in. Nice to see you. Take a seat.

Ah, Kenneth.

A little bird tells me that a certain Mr Greengrass has been talking to you.

Phil told you then, did he?

Well, I trust you sent him away with a suitably large and venomous flea in his

ear. I just told him I weren't interested.

Good lad, Ken.

I mean, how could I be with my shoulder?

What's wrong with your shoulder?

It's just about stopped.

I couldn't really be playing at all. I've been meaning to mention it to the

selection committee.

You mean...

He may have to retire.

It looks like it, yeah.

But, er... As far as Mr Greengrass is concerned, and these people that he says

he represents, you're still in perfectly good nick.

I reckon so, yeah. The money he says, they're offering me to turn pro and

everything.

And these kind of offers don't come along every day, do they, Ken?

How do you mean, like...

To entice you to become pro.

Right.

Which I think, in your wisdom, you may well be advised to accept.

And if in the fullness of time their investment in you proves to be a bad

then it's their bad luck, isn't it?

And Mr.

Greengrass's bad luck as the one who introduced you to them.

Wouldn't that be dishonest?

What is on this than what happens every day in London?

On the floor of the stock exchange.

Bernie? Hi.

Has Mr. Carter been back yet?

A while ago, yeah.

I don't know where he is now, though.

Did he say anything?

Asked me how long I'd be like.

Then picked up some chuckle and went.

Right, Bernie, you'd better let these tyres back down again.

Hand them down again, Mr Rowan.

Yeah.

They've just blown the babies off.

And while you're at it, you'd better remove the valves as well.

Now, I promised the district medical officer full cooperation.

So get out there.

Knocking on doors, telling people what's happened.

And if they haven't already been vaccinated against polio, then they best

themselves done.

Smartish.

Understood?

Yes, Sergeant.

Off you go, then.

Ah, thank you, Eileen.

You still here, Ventress?

Ah, Rowan, good of you to join us. I was beginning to think you'd left the

country. What's that?

Charles Carter, Sarge.

Now, according to Maggie, if he's not been vaccinated, there's a strong

possibility he could have polio as well and not realise it.

Well, what if he got the first train out?

Unlikely, I thought, Sarge.

Why? A man who's prepared to go all the way to France to get his son back.

Wouldn't leave his son in hospital, right.

And now the first morning I bumped into them, he was on his way to the local

school with his son, Simon.

Terrific.

Somebody waiting to meet you at the bus station when you get there, all right?

Right, Mr Greengrass.

You did say you'd pay me bus fare.

Yeah.

Yeah,

that should cover it, all right.

Give me the change when you get back. And don't forget, don't sign out until

check with me, all right? Right.

I'll see you later.

Still going through with it, then?

I suppose so.

You don't sound right, Cain.

If it weren't for Sergeant Blaketon, Phil, I don't reckon I'd bother.

It would be a real shock to me that him being so keen for me to turn pro all of

a sudden.

What you should realise is there's only two things in life Blaketon really

hates. Rugby league, Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.

Not necessarily in that order.

Can I leave those, please?

Thank you.

Now, there's no cause for alarm, and all these measures are purely

precautionary. If you've been vaccinated, that's well and good.

If you haven't, you'd better get over to the school tomorrow and have a sugar

lump. So it's definite, then?

The little lad's got polio.

It is, yes.

Where does that leave me, then?

How do you mean?

Well, I was the one who picked him up when he nearly fainted.

And I cleaned his stick up after him.

She'll have it, then.

And I drove him to the hospital today.

I haven't even been vaccinated.

It's like the constable says. You know what to do about it, don't you?

Yeah, well, what if it's too late?

I'm not going to end up paralysed, am I? It's all right, Gina.

I'm afraid Mrs Watkins is away today.

Yeah, well, if you can let her know that the district nurse is organising a

clinic at the British Hall tomorrow morning to vaccinate anyone who might

it. Which probably means most of the school.

Yeah, right.

Right, well, I might see you then.

Bye, then.

If he is paralysed, it will all be my fault.

That's not true, Michelle.

He wasn't even in your care at the time he caught him. But that's the point. He

should have been.

I drove Charles to kidnap Simon by taking him to France in the first

place.

I did it to hurt him, Maggie.

To cut him off from the one person he really cared about.

If I hadn't done that, none of this would have happened.

I think we've done everything we can, Sarge, until the mass vaccination

tomorrow.

And Carter?

Still no signs, Sarge.

Alpha and Fila ring around the B &Bs.

Oh, well.

You'd best get back to your bed.

Oh, Nick.

I presume she's been vaccinated.

Yes, Sarge.

Come here, brother.

Come here.

What are you doing back here? Is something going wrong?

I meant to go through with it, you know, even with me croc shoulder.

Croc shoulder? You never said anything to me about a croc shoulder.

No, I know I didn't.

What, you mean they found out?

Oh, no, they were all set to sign me, fix me up with a job, an house.

That's what swung it with me in Ender, really.

Swung? What are you talking about?

Well, they were really nice to me. Proper gentlemen for Lancastrians, any

I just couldn't bring myself to take the money under false pretenses, like, so I

told them truth in the end.

Did you?

How good of you.

It's nice to meet somebody who's honest and truthful. It restores your faith in

human nature, doesn't it?

If you'll excuse me, I'll go and kick the cat.

You what?

But this is where you're hiding yourself, is it?

Oh, Maggie, I can't believe it's happened to me.

Nothing's happened to you yet.

But what if I've caught it?

I could die.

Now, listen to me, Gina.

There's a lot of nonsense talked about polio.

Most people who get it make a complete recovery with no ill effects at all.

And it's not that easy to catch.

Yeah, but I actually putted them. Oh, and so did a lot of other people, I

expect, and they won't have got it either.

But what if I have, though?

Once you've got the vaccine in you, it's highly unlikely to develop.

Listen. I want you to stop panicking, get a good night's sleep, and I'll see

down at the school tomorrow.

OK?

OK.

So they're not actually whipped her off into hospital yet, then?

There's nobody saying she's been infected, Claude. Just that she did come

contact with the lad, that's all.

This stuff's safe. It could have got into the optics room.

Look, if you're worried, you'd better get yourself vaccinated tomorrow.

Don't let the thought of them great big needles put you off.

Needles?

Big as road drills, they reckon.

Where do they stick them?

Where do you think?

They like to get straight to the feet of the infection.

I don't think I'll bother.

I think I'll go for a lie down.

Needles as big as road drill, George.

No panic, please. We've administered the vaccine on them for sugar.

You know that and I know that, Maggie.

But Claude Jeremiah Greengrass doesn't, eh?

Here you go, Gina.

Is that it?

That's it.

You'll be fine.

Here you go.

Thanks, Mum.

Right, then.

Who's next?

What about you, Claude?

You going to have one of these?

Come on.

It's a good example for the children.

Open

wide.

You what?

Your mouth. Open it.

My mouth?

Well, then let me drop the sugar lump up your nose, Claude.

What, you mean it's not an injection?

You're not even in any danger, not at your age.

Thank you. Still, since we've got you.

Not too bad, is it?

What about Alfred?

Alfred's even safer than you are.

Besides, this is a clinic, not a bed.

Now, if you don't mind, I want to get on that way out.

Thank you.

Come on, come on.

Fine. I thought you said most of the school would need to be done.

Fortunately, the bulk of them have already been vaccinated, thanks to the

GP.

But there aren't more doctors like her around.

Yeah, yeah, isn't it?

I heard she died, tragically.

You probably knew her quite well, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah, quite well.

Your mind is empty but still thinking.

The night has robbed you of your being.

Your tired eyes are sick of weeping.

You try to stop yourself from seeing.

What's the latest on the boy, Maggie?

Still in the balance, apparently.

Or mother.

Yeah, and father.

So where is he, Maggie?

He's got to be out there somewhere.

Hmm.

I'm feeling fairly hungry by now, I should think.

It's a point.

It's been a long time since we were last together.

So before Carter disappeared, you said he went to the caravan to collect

something. Oh, it's fishing tackle.

That's what I thought you said.

Right.

Now, today we're going to collect leaves. And there's a prize, just a

mind you, for the first person that can bring me five different kinds.

All right, off you go.

Miss Carter?

Miss!

Miss! There's a man over there!

And I think he's dying! Show me where he is!

Mr. Carter?

Mr.

Carter, I need to talk to you.

About your son.

He has polio.

He could be infected yourself.

Well, the good news is Simon's on the mend.

The rest of the village?

No one else impacted so far, thank goodness.

Except for this one.

It wasn't always like this, you know, Simon.

At first, your mummy and papa, we really did love each other.

Passionately.

Then when he took Simon away from me, I hated him so much.

We were both wrong.

Using our child like a...

Like a weapon in a private war.

It won't happen again.

I promise.

It won't ever be alright.

I'm sorry, Charles.

Really.

So very, very sorry.

Oh, hello.

I just popped in to deliver a Get Wellcast assignment from the kids at

It's a relief they're all OK.

Yeah, you reacted really quickly.

Could have been quite an epidemic.

Incidentally, you might have said the other day I felt such a fool afterwards.

Why? Because it was your wife I was talking about when I was going on about

late local GP.

Yeah, well, I couldn't bring myself to somehow. Sorry.

Must have been terrible, losing her like that.

Yeah, it was.

But then, like everyone said to me at the time, life goes on.

And does it?

I think it does, yeah.

Strangely enough.

Has to, I suppose.

Yes.

So, be seeing you around, I expect.

I look forward to it.

Bye then.

Bye.

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

What does a love kiss say in my memory?
