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

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

Let's have a chat, babe. Not now, love. I've got to get Scott his tea.

Well, I can carry you back. No, it's all right.

George!

Sorry.

Give it here.

Please. What are you doing, George?

I'm helping, babe.

Give those to me.

Why don't you get yourself home?

What time is it?

I don't know which is right.

It's half past four. I should know. Police time's always right.

I'll see you later, all right?

He doesn't mean any harm.

It's my own fault. I was trying to be friendly and I gave him that old watch.

Now he follows me around like a lost lamb.

I'll speak to his sister next time I see her. Would you mind?

I tried to stroke my hair the other day. I don't want him getting any funny

ideas. You'll leave it to me.

You just moved here a few weeks ago, didn't you? Still settling in, really.

I'm Viv Mackay.

Jo Mason.

You don't know one end of a hot dog from the other.

Look, my probation officer said I need new interest in life.

Hot dog.

Turned over a new leaf.

Oh, yeah.

A leopard never changes its sock since.

Spots.

Eh? All I'm asking is just to leave it here for a few days. Just while I sort a

few things out.

Two days tops.

Thought we were friends.

Two days.

My dress kicked out of sight, though.

There's a lot of villains around.

Don't want to get in the way.

I'll see you soon. He's got room round the back.

OK,

quietly. Quiet, thank you.

I've got some news.

Mr Bellingham, my Dominic here.

We're getting married.

Oh, what can I say? The deal is, as we say in the motor trade, subject to

finance, site of a full service history, and, of course, a test drive. Behave

yourself.

All I'm saying is, don't expect wedding bells too soon, but what I will do is

buy a round.

It's really going to set tongues wagging.

How do you mean?

Well, he's a married man, and gossip is she's got a husband in the army, but

she's dumped him, and this bloke, Bellingham, set her up with a house of

own. You never know with gossip, though, do you?

Mm -hm.

This company has got to be doing all right, if he can afford to miss the

he got today tomorrow.

There'll be a massive crowd, and this is a licence to print money.

Well, suppose he knows what he's doing.

No, he nearly doesn't.

Would you like onions with that?

I'd pardon.

Bernie, you are a genius.

Oh, I'm going home. Lock up with you.

Anne, what can I get you of good people?

I'm a keeper, Nathan. Me too.

Congratulations on your engagement.

I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

She's a naughty girl, telling everyone like that. And I told her, it's

for the gentleman to buy the ring.

Talk about jumping the gun.

Maybe the gossip's not so far off the mark.

Cheers, everyone!

Cheers!

Oh, careful!

Dawn! David, no!

Please!

You're not a very good driver, are you?

I need to get better by tomorrow.

Dorothy, it's going to take a bit longer than that.

I know that, David.

You could help me. Oh, please, David. Please, please, please, please.

What are you talking about?

Hot dogs.

I know. We could be partners.

The course of true love and all that.

What's going on?

Sounds like the engagement's off.

Well,

he's not too happy.

Sounds like she forced his hand because he was playing a bit too hard to get.

Hello, George.

Remember our talk earlier on, George. You're not to bother us.

George,

please.

Give me a rest, mate.

I'm sorry, George.

You hurt me.

You all right? Come on.

No.

You are not my friend anymore.

I'll make sure they get home.

I don't like to say this, Jo, but he's become a real pest lately.

Just won't stop bothering you.

I'll talk to Gin.

That's good.

George!

Got you!

You nosy parker.

So you've got something good going on in there, then? Oi, just my mum.

Oh, right. Do you want me to get her to come outside?

No, no, it's all right.

So, what's your name, then?

Don.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Don.

Don who?

Don, let me see you around here again.

I'm Scott.

Hi, Scott. You all right?

So, it looks like she's going to be a while, so I think I'll get off.

OK.

See you later, alligator.

It's a baked potato oven.

You fill it with spuds and it turns them into gold. At least it will when we

sell them at the football tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Oh, well, I can't, because me and Dawn were doing hot dogs.

Not any more, you're not.

I've got a hundred ways of King Edward's going to shift in.

What's going on?

George?

He's been making a bit of a nuisance of himself.

Who's this?

I do. I saw him.

There's a woman in the village called Vivian Mackay. We all know about her.

He's been pestering her.

I know that he doesn't mean any harm.

And he doesn't do any harm.

Everyone here knows that. He's the newcomer.

I've asked him to keep away from her, but he's more likely to listen to you.

I just don't want any trouble.

Neither do I.

I'll see what I can do.

PC Mason.

Thanks.

I know it's not you.

I'm Peggy.

It's about tomorrow.

I've saw a promised door.

Oh, that's right.

Turn your back on your own flesh and blood and run off with some mini

here -today -gone -tomorrow flippity -jibbit.

Well, I'm not running off.

That'll be next.

But don't you worry about me.

It's just that with my back, I shall probably have to move them one at a

time.

Yeah, I heard you.

What's happened?

It's boo -boo.

It's boo -boo.

We've got a murder weapon.

No sign of him so far.

There's a man called George Aston who lives in the village.

He's been following Vivian around for the past few days, pestering her.

He always wears Wellington boots.

And that's what we got here?

Yeah, looks like it.

Anything else?

Mrs Mackay was in the pub last night with a man called Dominic Bellingham.

It looked like they were having quite a heated disagreement.

Can I have a word with PC Mason?

You go yours.

Where's Scott at the moment?

Nurse Cassidy's looking after him.

I've spoken with his father.

He's in the armour station in Germany.

He can't get over until later today.

We can take care of him for now. I'll speak to Carl, see if he can stay there.

That would be the simplest answer.

Sarge?

David?

David, love, I need help.

What's happened? It's this lumbago. It's hurting me something wrong.

Yeah, well, go to the doctor then. Stopping me out today.

This is an emergency.

Hell on, if she's ill. David, she's putting it on.

I am not.

Yes, you are.

Look, David, we're meant to be pirates, remember?

Splitting everything 50 -50. That's not the point. Blood is thicker than water.

David is not thick, and he is working with me.

David, I shan't be asking you again.

David! Don't you dare.

If you lot want to argue, will you do it somewhere else? You're priding off the

customers. Are you coming or what?

Er, not.

Er, she's... Trouble, that one.

Mark my words, you'll regret it.

Your tobago seems to have cleared up, Peg.

Do you want me just to grab something?

Just let it out.

I was supposed to be looking after her.

It wasn't your fault.

If I'd have just woken up, I could have stopped it.

Scott, listen.

Look, I don't know if this helps, but... I lost my mum too.

In a similar way.

She was murdered.

And for ages I thought...

It must have been my fault. It must have been something that I could have done.

But it wasn't my fault.

It's not yours either.

Mum always put my clothes on for all the reason that.

Yeah.

Yeah, mine too.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

The priority is to find this man, George Aston.

Where are we on that?

He's not returned to his house.

We've circulated the description.

It looks like the murder weapon was a heavy object of some kind.

A length of piping or something similar.

Sergeant Miller's going to organise a search. We've got extra men coming from

HQ.

PC Mason, I'd like you to concentrate on local witnesses.

This man Mrs Mackay was arguing with in the pub.

Bellion. Yeah, I want to interview him as soon as possible.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Where's Scott?

I want to start with him.

He's not really up to answering questions yet.

I'll be the judge of that.

Did you see your mother when she came back from the pub last night?

Yeah, with Mr Bellingham.

Did he come into the house?

I don't think so.

You don't think so or you don't know?

I didn't see him.

What were you doing?

I was in my bedroom listening to records.

Mum came in and she told me to go to bed.

Was that the last time you saw her?

Yeah.

What's the next thing you remember?

I can't.

Scott, it's important.

Try. I can't remember.

What woke you up?

You told me that you heard your mother scream.

So you got out of bed, went downstairs.

Then what?

I went up to her.

I tried to wake her up. I shook her.

She wouldn't wake up.

Maybe that's enough for now.

You shook her?

Did you move her at all, Scott?

He's right. He's not up to me.

After that, did he go straight over to the police house?

We can ask him later.

It's OK.

Come on.

Oh, darling.

You started getting next to me.

Oh, darling.

Right, I'll ask Jane if I can cook the onions in the pug if you just get the

bang with that.

No. Oh, OK.

Oh, no!

David!

Well, it's not my fault.

Well, I'll tell you what, I'll do the sausages.

Here it is!

I bet it was Peggy.

Oh, she wouldn't do that.

Who else would it be, David?

But it was there that was at your onions as well.

I keep telling you all till I'm blue in the face, he's not here.

Where is he, then?

I know what people are saying.

But what happened to that woman's got nothing to do with him. George never

her fly.

Do these belong to George?

Size 9.

It was a clear size 9 boot print found at the murder scene.

It wasn't him.

Where was George in the early hours of this morning?

Sometimes he gets het up.

He goes out for a walk.

Doesn't mean anything. He just likes to be alone.

Where does he walk?

I don't know.

You must have some idea.

A young woman, a neighbour of yours, was killed last night in cold blood.

Her son's devastated.

If George knows anything about it, I need to know as soon as possible.

Where does he walk?

On the moors.

Where?

I keep telling you he's not a murderer, but you've all made your minds up about

him. I haven't, I promise you.

You've got my word.

Lowkirk Farm.

We used to live there when we were kids. It's empty now. He goes up there.

Thank you.

You've got to give him a chance.

Please.

They didn't recognise you there. Is this business your pleasure?

It's about Vivienne Mackay.

What now?

I'm sorry to have to break it to you like this, but I'm afraid she's dead.

No.

Well, how?

It looks like she was murdered.

We need to ask you some questions down at the station.

Well, there's plenty of diesel in it.

The onions are cooking nicely.

Which one?

I won't start.

Well, it's gone through it, did you, yesterday?

Fuel pump's gone.

And I know he's nicked it.

No, no. No, she's not getting away with it this time, David.

No, it's gone.

The script doesn't mean that.

I stay clear.

Never nice when women fight. Come on, give a fan. Push the kids high.

I yelled at her, she yelled at me, she had a bit of a cry, but by the time we

got back to hers, it had all blown over.

What happened when you got back to her house?

We said goodnight and I went home.

When you were walking home, did you happen to see anyone else near her

That chap who came into the pub, bit soft in the head.

George Aspen?

They thought he was following us.

I didn't see him, but thinking about it, he must have been. What time was all

this? Around 11.

I was definitely home before midnight.

Can anyone confirm that?

Oh, that's Scott.

He saw me go.

Well, that's not what he says.

Between you and me, you can't always believe Scott.

Why do you say that?

He's a nice lad, but he didn't like me seeing Viv.

You can understand it. He had a bad time with his father.

They both had.

He used to knock the living daylights out of them. So, me and Scott, it was

difficult.

Can anyone else confirm that you went home?

My wife must have heard me come home, but it's tricky. Me and Mrs B aren't

exactly seeing eye to eye at the moment.

I told her about me and Viv last week. Said I'd be moving out.

Didn't go down well.

Well, I still want to speak to her.

I never saw a girl who was so lovely, lovely.

You can play at that game, missy.

Joe's been going to eat. He didn't have any breakfast.

Where's Joe?

He's at work. He'll be back soon.

Thanks so much for looking after me. You and Joe.

It's OK.

We'll do the house, the rest of you start in the outbuilding.

There he is.

That's Ashton.

He'll wave a magic wand and make it all go away.

Look, I know he's upset, but... But something's not right there.

Or maybe I'm saying the wrong things.

Can you talk to him?

I'm not the right person.

He has been asking for you.

But all he wants right now is for his mum to walk through the door.

I can make that happen.

Where have you been?

We've been doing a big search, trying to find out if anyone saw anything last

night.

Right, well, I mean, can I help searching anything?

No, no, not really.

Look, your dad will be back soon.

He's going to need some help.

It'll be hard for him.

Well, you did look after your dad.

Yeah, pretty much, yeah.

Did they, um, find the man that... Killed you, Mum.

No. No, they didn't.

But things will be different this time.

I see that worried look upon your face.

You've got your troubles.

I've got mine.

What? Yes.

What's that on your boot, George?

Nothing. Looks like blood to me.

Where did this come from, George?

It's this.

Did you take it from her?

I found it.

Where?

I found it on the path.

You found a valuable ring just lying there?

I took it to her.

It was too late.

What do you mean, too late?

It was two o 'clock.

She was lying on the floor.

I was going to give it to her.

It was two o 'clock.

Are you saying that she was dead when you got to the house?

She had blood on her head.

Why didn't you get help?

I don't know.

You really expected to believe this?

Vivian wasn't dead when you got to the house, was she? I don't know.

Did you hit her?

Well, you didn't hit her.

She hit me. Well, she pushed me.

Viv was my friend.

But she didn't want to be your friend.

You got angry.

And you hit her, didn't you?

I didn't mean it.

George, it's very important that you tell us the truth.

I'm going to ask you once more.

Did you kill Vivian Mackay?

I didn't mean to hurt her.

George Afton, I'm arresting you for the murder of Vivian Mackay.

I can understand the others not getting it, but you know George.

You know he's not a murderer.

Look, he's admitted to being at the house. He even had the victim's ring in

pocket. What did he say?

That he found the ring.

Then he did.

George doesn't lie, never.

If you don't believe me, I've to nurse Cassidy. She's seen his medical records.

All this will be taken into account, but it doesn't look good for him.

Do you really think he did it, killed a woman in cold blood?

It looks that way.

Then you're as bad as the rest of them.

June! Scott?

What are you doing here? I was just coming to look for you. Look, I'm busy

now, mate.

It wasn't George.

It can't have been.

How do you know that?

Mr Bellingham was there.

You said that you only saw him outside.

I didn't want to get him into trouble.

Look, I didn't actually see him leave and...

He always came and stayed with my mum every other time. Are you sure about

Mum liked George. She wouldn't want... The best thing that you can do is go

to Carol's and stay there, OK?

OK.

What made you think it was me? Because I saw you earlier running off down the

road. You could have done me a serious injury.

Yeah, well, you started it. I did not!

Look, someone stole that thingy from the van.

Well, that wasn't me. Tell her, David.

It wasn't anyone.

When Mr Scripps said that it was gone, what he meant was that it was broken.

Isn't that right, Mr Scripps?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah, well, who's been messing with my sausages, then?

Cheaper. You.

Bye. Bad doggies, that's what made you feel ill.

You think that I would stoop so low?

You would.

Well, that's upset me, that has.

That's really hurt my feelings.

I think you owe me an apology, young lady.

Sorry. Hmm.

But the question is, how are you going to make it up to me?

I reckon with the cost of the spuds and the loss of income, you owe me at least

20 quid.

But I haven't got...

supposed to do?

There is one thing.

Have you seen Scott?

He was here earlier.

I sent him back to your place.

He told me he was coming to help you and you said it was okay.

No, I didn't.

He shouldn't be off on his own.

Years of practice.

I think he genuinely wants to help.

I remember feeling just wanting to do something.

There he is!

Scott! Wait there!

What were you doing?

Look, I needed to get some more stuff right and I just, I thought if I came

I might remember something and I did.

Look, last night, after I woke up, I heard someone running off.

You mean inside the house? No, no, it was outside, not this way.

Joe, look, I know it's not fair, but there's something about him that just

me feel uncomfortable.

You're right, it's not fair.

Look, it sounded like he went down that way.

I'll tell D .I. Dawson.

Is there anything else that you should remember?

Oh, it's too late. They've all gone in.

And who solves that?

If your little friend Dawn hadn't stuck her oar in, I'd have been here hours

ago.

I'm a bit bad about dawn.

Oh, never mind that. Come on. We can still grab them on the way out.

Come on, back it up.

Nearer the wall.

Oh!

That just might be our murder weapon.

I'll get it to forensics.

Mr. Bellingham's got golf clubs.

Are you sure about that?

He keeps them in his car.

Excuse me.

Not again.

I just need to confirm a few things.

Do you own a set of golf clubs?

What's that got to do with anything?

Could we see them, please?

Are they all there?

No,

the pot is missing.

Do you know where it is?

No, I've no idea.

Vivian Mackay was killed by a blow to the head.

We think it may have been from a golf club.

Hold on.

You don't think I did it?

Not if you were somewhere else.

We need to establish when you came home.

Is your wife here?

Shall we?

We're making inquiries into the murder of Vivienne Mackay.

Who?

Hasn't your husband told you about this?

I've no idea what you're talking about.

Who is anyone?

Oh, it's those jobs with going on about licences and whatnot. Just ignore it.

What, we're not meant to be here, then? Well, so he says.

But what's he going to do about it?

He did.

That smells really good.

When PC Mason interviewed you this morning, you told him your wife knew you

leaving her.

You were lying.

I wanted her kept out of it.

I mean, Viv, it was just a bit of fun. It wasn't going anywhere.

Maureen didn't need to know.

So the engagement, the champagne in the pub last night, that was stringing

Vivian along, was it?

Do I have to spell it out?

I didn't ask Viv to marry me. It was her idea. She even bought the ring.

On the way back from the pub, I told her it wasn't going to happen and she threw

the ring in my face.

What did you do then?

Well, we carried on back to her and I calmed her down.

Did you go into the house? No.

Yes, but not for long.

How long?

Five, ten minutes.

You don't seem very sure.

I didn't time myself.

Look, I left her, I went straight home.

But your wife can't confirm that.

Can't or won't.

I slept in the spare room.

So we still don't know how long you were at the house.

Scott saw me go.

And he could have swiped that golf club too.

Sort of stroke he'd pull, I told you before. He's a devious little liar.

Hang on a minute.

You lied to me this morning.

You lied to Vivian and your wife.

Scott isn't a liar here.

Don't take that film with me.

I'm not having it. You lost your temper when Viv threw that ring in your face,

didn't you? Or did she threaten to tell your wife? You lost your temper and you

hit her. This is a waste of time.

It's got a very short fuse.

No. Why would Scott lie?

You killed his mother. No! Sit down, please, Mr Bellingham.

Lucy Mason?

I was supposed to be leading that interview.

Look, I'm sorry, but he's lying.

We can't prove that. And shouting at him isn't going to help.

So what are we going to do?

Keep him here until we've interviewed his wife.

For all I know, she could be a suspect as well. She's got reason enough.

I'm looking for a stolen hot dog van.

I've heard it was parked here last night.

It looks like it now.

Can you see that?

Where is it?

Cocktie.

It had better be.

What did you tell him that for?

Did you not hear what he said? It's stolen.

Yeah, well, how was I supposed to know?

Oh, it's Vince.

We're going to have to go and warn David and Peggy.

You have. It's nothing to do with me.

Er, you were the one that fixed the van.

You're in it as much as we are.

Hello?

Yeah, I just want to wash these.

I can do that for you.

OK, thanks.

I hope they're dry in time. Your dad will be here soon.

Kath, there were you?

Not really.

Why not?

All sorts of reasons.

Let's get this washing on.

Check something.

You said Scott Mackay came to your house at half past three this morning.

It's 3 .36.

I've just got the post -mortem report.

The pathologist's certain Vivian was dead by two at the latest.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

There's over an hour missing.

Unless Aston and Bellingham are telling the truth.

Joe, it's me.

I found something. It's important.

No, you need to see this, Joe.

Yes, now.

What was he trying to wash his clothes?

I don't think he was wearing the dressing gown when he came across his

What was he wearing then?

There's blood on his shirt too.

That's come from a spurting blood wound.

Is he in his room?

Go over to the police house.

Call Sergeant Miller and wait there.

I need you.

I need you more than just a good guy.

I need you.

It's too little, girl.

What's going on? It was Scott.

I think he killed his mother.

You've changed your tune. When he came to my house, he was wearing a dressing

gown and pyjamas.

Earlier, he'd been wearing this.

Where did you find it?

Here. He went back to his house because he must have realised that we'd find it.

Then he put it into Carol's washing machine.

Where's Carol?

Over at the police house.

Let's go.

I need you.

You know, little girl, that you can keep the smile on my face.

But don't you ever tell me goodbye.

I'll be down and you'll never cry.

I need you.

More than anybody else has needed anyone before.

More than anybody else has needed anyone before. I need you.

I need you.

Look, I'm not joking.

I'm coming in there.

Yeah, I'll kill her as well.

Final whistle any minute now. Look out for the rush.

Hey, you know that boy you were talking to?

Didn't he mention anything about calling the police? Yeah, but that was just

flannel. There you are. If you saw that, that's a police car.

That is coming this way.

Here, give it to me back. We're closed.

Quick! Don't just stand there. Run!

That group's on its way.

Scott?

It's Rachel Dauphin. We talked this morning.

What exactly do you want?

Is it about your dad?

He's got

to talk to me.

I want Joe.

It's no good, is it?

I'm going away.

Where to?

Not telling you.

Travel can drive me.

Why did you do it, Scott?

You... I thought it'd be hard.

It wasn't.

You know, it's a study that I'm doing.

He did it.

Dead. Dead.

My flaming butt!

You get your butt!

Hey!

She was going to get married.

Again!

She said if I didn't like it, she'd send me back to my dad.

So you killed her?

No, none of you.

I even made you think Bellingham did it.

I could have made you send him to prison.

Is Carol all right?

Can I talk to her?

She was the only one. You didn't have a clue!

It's all my dad.

What's the prize?

You do know this is a stolen vehicle.

Look, I can explain.

Go on, then. Look, it's all my fault, but I didn't know it was stolen. None of

us did.

Where did you get it, then?

Do I have to tell you?

I'd let him explain. It's her cousin, Vince.

Oi! Oi! Stop!

I know it's not.

Vivian?

Your cousin's been charged with stealing a motor vehicle.

Given his previous, you may not be seeing him again for quite a while.

Look, I swear I didn't know it was stolen.

Well, you should have guessed. No, Vin.

To be fair, he has confirmed you couldn't have known.

So I'm willing to let it go just this once.

Thanks, Mr Weatherby.

Look, I'd buy you all a drink to say sorry about my skin.

We did say we were going to go 50 -50.

We didn't make a sausage.

I think we've all had enough of sausages for one day, thank you, madam.

She hasn't always your opinion.

Hang on tight!

But the Browns could have been killed.

We could be talking attempted murder here.

Evict him and you've solved your problem.

There's bricks lured everywhere.

This must deliver a hurry.

Damn them!

Damn him to hell!

Are you calling me a liar, Constable? I'm warning you that if you retaliate,

you'll both be under lock and key.
