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

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

It's all right. The ambulance is here.

Don't! Don't! You've got your troubles, I've got

mine.

She's found somebody else to take your place.

You've got your troubles, I've got mine.

Oh, dear.

My guardian angel.

Well, I left my wings and harp at home today.

Have you seen this, Amy?

Oh.

Nurse Carol Cassidy, 28, risked her life to rescue mother -to -be Barbara

Gresham from a wrecked ambulance.

I haven't even got my age right. Let's see.

Former Dr.

Bernardo's girl, Carol, now lives in Aidensfield.

Oh, well, they got that bit right at least.

Dr. Bernardo?

Does that mean you're an orphan? That's really sad.

Yeah, well, it's my business and I wish it wasn't all over the paper.

Mother and baby are doing well.

I've got to go.

They're coming out of hospital today. That should be about right. OK.

Bye.

What's her problem?

I mean, I'd be chuffed having a picture in the paper.

Not everyone's like you.

Are you busy?

Well, not without the taxi, I'm not.

That funeral we did last week for Edgvane.

What, the chimney sweep?

I have agreed to take his old van in part payment.

Would you collect it for us?

And mind the seats. They might be a bit on the sooty side, I should wonder.

What's the name?

Hercules.

Is that Miss or Mrs?

The dog is called Hercules, not me.

Oh, I see.

Jeff. Hold on a minute, Al.

And how long did you say it's been gone? Since last night.

Well, I'll take the details, but you might be better talking to the RSPCA.

The RSPCA?

Is there a problem, Mrs. Rennington? I've lost Hercules.

He's a canned terrier.

I've told the lady there's not much really we can do.

But we will make every effort to find Hercules and return him to you as soon

we can.

Yeah, if I could just take your address.

No need.

Thank you, Sergeant.

They don't usually look for lost dogs.

They do when they belong to the chief constable.

Mrs Worthington is his wife.

He might have said.

Give the baby a bath and put him in his cot. Right now, what about a name?

I can't decide.

Well, they do books of names now. I could get you one from the library.

Hey, you look all in.

I feel so useless.

When you bound her for the first few weeks.

And you were in a serious accident, too.

I'm not going to sit here feeling sorry for myself.

There's too much to do.

Don't push yourself too hard.

I'll come in as often as I can.

How about your neighbours? Could they help?

No.

They're a bit funny with me.

And the father?

He doesn't want to know.

Right.

Well, I guess it's just you and me, then.

Are you looking for Carol?

Yeah,

um, is this where she lives? It is, but the Land Rover's not here. She's

probably out on her rounds.

Is it urgent?

No, um, I'm Janet Burr.

I'm an old friend of Carol's, and I haven't seen her in yonks.

Well, I should try later.

Okay, thank you.

Thought it was in better nick than this.

Hey!

Oh, that's all in old brushes.

Soot everywhere.

Might work a bottle or two of these. Do a sweep.

Oh, yeah.

They're a bit still on the ground round here, aren't they?

Are you still here, Younger?

I'm away, Sergeant.

It would be helpful if you were out there too, Mr Ventress.

Ah, well, it's not really my job. That's if you can spare some of your valuable

time.

I don't see either of you back here until you've found that dog.

You too, Weatherby.

I've had the chief constable on the phone.

His wife's not happy, so he's not happy. And I most certainly won't be until we

find that flaming mutt.

Someone was looking for you.

Oh, want to know who?

An old friend.

Tell me.

Janet Burr.

Janet? I don't believe it. Where is she?

I don't think she's going too far. She said she'd be back soon.

I haven't seen her for ages.

Who is she?

We used to be, like, best friends when we were 13, 14.

I'll need to ask her for the gossip about your misdating you.

You dare?

You know, it's bad too much.

Sorry about that. I'll see you soon.

Everybody keeps talking about that van. They all want their chimney swept.

Hey, well, you could do it. I mean, you need something to do while your taxi's

being mended.

What? I wouldn't know where to start.

David, it's shoving a broom up a chimney. It's not as simple as that.

You've got to know what you're doing, and he doesn't. Well, that's not very

nice, is it, Bernie?

Would you answer that, please, Dawn?

Don't listen to her. She's worse than your Aunt Peg.

This is amazing.

I can't believe it. Oh, you too.

You're looking great. You too.

Are you sure this isn't a bad time?

No. I've got a patient coming in a minute, but don't worry.

Come on, get over this.

You've done well for yourself. It's lovely, isn't it? Yeah, it's nice.

And that policeman.

Oh, you hands off. I know what you're like.

You really have fallen on your feet.

How about you? What are you up to now?

Oh, I'm definitely not dating any coppers.

Oh, you've still got your teddy.

It's just to distract the kids when I'm doing something horrible to them, like

inoculations. Oh, my patient. Sorry.

Would you mind waiting a moment?

How long are you here for?

Oh, just a couple of days. I'm staying at the pub. Oh, brilliant!

Go on, say it.

What am I doing, turning up here like a bad penny? I know that's what you're

thinking. OK, what are you doing, turning up here like a bad penny?

Well, guess where I ended up working?

Dr Barnardo's, didn't you?

You hated Dr Barnardo's?

Yeah. Well...

You know how when we were kids, they never told us anything about our family?

Well, I wanted to find out what was really on the records.

So I got in there and I had a look.

You found your file?

My mum died in the war and Dad, who knows?

But I had a look at yours.

I looked you up.

Carol Love.

I found your mum.

I hope you don't mind, but I went to see her.

Where?

Leeds.

You can see her for yourself.

She's called Margaret.

And she's here.

I've got your mum for you.

I'm afraid there's no progress to report so far.

Well, you have had all morning.

Yes, unfortunately, he's a small dog in a very large area. I am aware of that,

so I've had some of these made up. I would like your men to display them

prominently. £25 is a very large reward.

Hercules is very dear to me, Sergeant, as I'm sure my husband has made clear.

Yes, he has.

Several times.

Mr. Webber, can I buy you a drink?

Not while I'm on duty.

It's a little misunderstanding about their marriage.

As soon as Sergeant Miller signs off the paperwork, I'll go straight to the

magistrate. No, no, there's no need to do that. See you in court.

I should pack a toothbrush.

Hiya.

You've really put the wind up, Peggy. Do you think you've got a case?

I'm quietly confident.

Good for you.

Actually, I was wondering if I could have a quiet word.

Oh, yeah, OK.

Do you want to go and snog?

What can I do for you?

Well, I'm afraid I've yet another form from the widow's fond un -easy design.

Oh, you didn't have to come over especially.

No, it's no bother.

To be honest, it suited me.

Well, you certainly brightened up their day.

The effect a uniform has on a woman, eh?

Not my wife.

Eh? I haven't seen her for ages.

Why don't you bring her over for a drink?

No.

Tricky.

Babysitting and that.

If you could just sign on the dotted line.

Oh, sure.

That's great news.

When are you going to see her?

After work.

Carol, this isn't exactly the kind of thing that happens every day.

Take the afternoon off. I can't.

You do want to see her.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Why not?

I've spent my whole life thinking I didn't have a mother. And now I do. I

know what that means.

It's got to be good news.

I suppose not.

I just...

Just feel numb.

Obviously, it's a shock.

And any other normal person would be dancing in the street and throwing a

I'm not saying that. But sometimes you hold people at arm's length when you

really don't need to.

Someone gets too close and the shutters come down.

Are you going to tell me about her?

I don't know anything.

Nothing at all? I thought she was dead.

I suppose the truth is I hoped she was.

I was the little girl I thought.

Every birthday, every Christmas, every Easter.

Maybe this time she'll come and see me.

This time she'll send me a present.

All the other kids have someone, a relative, somebody.

Not me.

So my mum, she had to be dead.

Because the only other reason was that she didn't want me.

I can understand you being cautious, but wouldn't it be better to know for sure?

Maybe. Anyway, you know, you can tell me yourself.

Nurse Cassidy?

I'll come over straight away.

Don't worry.

Bye.

I've got to go.

Barbara's baby's not well. You really need to go now.

Yes.

Look, I know what you're saying.

Just do this in my own time, OK?

What you have to remember is its mission impossible.

You never find a missing dog.

It either turns up or it doesn't.

But Sergeant Miller said... Sergeant Miller knows that as well as I do. The

Chief Constable knows that. The only person who doesn't is his wife. It's all

question of keeping the lid on her.

What am I supposed to do then?

A cup of tea and a sandwich.

I'm not so sure about this.

Nick, you're doing great, David.

You think that's quite the chimney yet?

I can't see it, David!

from Mary Poppins.

Who? Uh, Thingy. Um, chim -chiminey, chim -chiminey, chim -chim -chiminey.

You know, the bloke that dances with the penguins?

What are you on about?

Oh, forget it, David.

I'm sort of not quite right here.

Just try it once more.

tell you. It works.

Hercules.

Hercules.

Come on.

Good boy.

Come on, Hercules.

Well, I can't time over that.

Here.

Try this.

Come on, Hercules.

Come on, boy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Gotcha!

I don't think there's any harm done, but I'd like a doctor to take a look at

him.

Is that a bit of a shock?

You too.

If I can't even change his nappy without dropping him... I'll try to come over

to help more often.

Will you keep an eye on him when I phone the doctor?

I'm no good at this.

Of course you are.

Barbara, you're going to be a wonderful mum.

I'm very sorry, Mrs Worthington.

She's a bitch.

You can't say that about the Chief Constable's wife.

The dog you found is a bitch.

Oh.

Oh, right.

What do you want me to do with her now, then? Put her in the kennel and hope

somebody claims her soon.

Yes, Sergeant.

There's still some posters left, Wetherby.

Stick them up somewhere.

Oh, that's what I call the waste of a good pot pie.

I've got an idea where I'd like to stick them.

What shall we call her now that she's not Hercules?

Oh, you don't want to get too attached.

She'll have to go down if she's not claimed in a week.

David?

David!

It took me flipping ages to calm out Peggy down. I've had enough.

No, I've been on the go. I've got a full order booked for tomorrow.

I don't care.

Well, that's a shame.

Here's your quote for your new radiator.

I'll learn that tomorrow.

Oh.

You first tune in at nine o 'clock. I'll tell Tony you need the bank.

I brought Margaret.

I thought you were going to come to the pub.

Sorry.

I had to see you.

You were so near.

Come in.

Carol, it's all right.

Let me introduce you.

This is your mum.

Shall I make us some tea? Maybe give you two time to talk.

OK.

Right.

Do you like to sit down?

Thank you.

Sorry, I don't know what to say.

Maybe this isn't such a good idea.

I was all for going home, but Janet's so enthusiastic.

You should have warned me.

I understand if you don't want me to stay.

I don't think you'd ever want to see me.

But could I just explain?

Tell you why.

That's your father.

We were married in 1938, six months before he joined the Air Force.

And your brother was born a year later.

My brother?

Do you know where he is?

No, I have no idea.

I'm sorry.

Your dad died in action three months before you were born.

And then I got TB.

And I was ill for a long time.

And I had to give you up.

Both of you.

And what?

I didn't have a house or money.

I couldn't take you back.

You never came to see me.

You never wrote.

I wanted to.

I was advised not to.

But then when Janet got in touch, it was too much.

My Carol.

Did I do the wrong thing?

No.

Younger, what have you done about that stray that you brought in yesterday?

Oh, well, I've taken her for a nice long walk.

and I bought her a big marrow bone from the butcher. Find the owner. She was

howling all night, and the neighbours are complaining.

Oh, you're on the doghouse, Geoff.

And while he's doing that, you get out there and find the real dog.

I don't really know much about dogs, Sergeant.

Find someone who does.

Alf, any ideas?

As a matter of fact, I have.

But I'm not sure that you'd like it.

Help the police?

You've got a nerve.

I know it's highly irregular, but we might be able to reach some sort of

compromise.

Compromise? Will you lot?

I don't think so.

You'll get what you want and then I'll go straight to a new home with bars on

the windows and a bucket on the floor. I'm asking you as a favour.

Why should I?

You didn't do me any favours when you arrested me. Ah, now about that.

I can't make any promises, but I may be able to swing something.

you say that now.

But no, I'm not interested.

Oh, it's a big reward, too.

Is it?

I just had a call from Barbara Gresham's neighbour.

What's wrong?

It sounds like they had some sort of argument with her. Nothing serious, but

thought I should let you know.

Oh, go out there as I can.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I've lost some tranquilizers, benzodiazepines from my bag.

Has anyone had access to the bag? Well, I've always got it with me. I just can't

think what I've done with it. You've had other things to think about.

That's no excuse.

Did you meet your mother?

Yeah, they came over last night.

Well, what's wrong?

Nothing.

But it wasn't what you were expecting?

Well, that's what's so strange.

It was.

What she told me last night was just like the story I used to make up about

mum. Just seems too good to be true, that's all.

That's okay, isn't it?

Not if I don't believe her.

Why would she lie to you?

Don't know.

I just know what I feel.

I can't believe she's my mother.

You've only just met her.

Give it time.

Jim Jiminy, Jim Jiminy, Jim Jim Cherie, a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be.

Jim Jiminy, Jim Jiminy, Jim Jim Cherie, good luck will rub off when I shake

hands with you. Oh, below me a kiss, and that's lucky too.

Sorry to disturb you, Mrs Gresham. It's me, not Mrs.

It matters to some people.

What happened to your window?

It's the neighbours.

Is there a problem with your neighbours?

They don't want to live next door to what they call that slut.

I told them I weren't going anywhere else.

Next thing you know, that happened.

Well, they said that you were shouting in the street.

I've had enough.

This isn't the first time.

Then we need to do something about it.

If you could just make a statement.

No.

I don't want any more trouble.

I don't want any more of any... Even if you don't want to pursue

this, they should be made aware of what they've done.

Your baby could have been hurt.

What's his name?

I haven't decided yet.

It must be difficult choosing.

Difficult?

A year ago, I had a nice job.

I had friends who talked to me. People didn't twitch curtains and call me

That's difficult.

I hate it.

Oh, David!

Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim chiminey When you're with a sweet,

you're in glad company Nowhere is there a more...

That fire was meant to have been put out.

Hold on, David.

David, hold on.

What do you think you're doing?

The chimney, remember?

Oscar would go mad. Have you read that brass plaque?

Fire's never been put out since Queen Victoria took shelter in here.

Well, it's about time it was swept then. Get some of the hot coals off.

That fire better be lit by the time we get back.

It will.

You hold, and I'll stick.

Carol, this isn't going to work.

I'm not looking after him.

He won't feed.

There's nothing waiting on.

I talked to the hospital and I think they sent you home too early.

It's my fault too. I should be here more.

Look, you've had a really hard few weeks. You're in pain. You've hardly had

chance to get to know your baby yet.

It's more than that.

I'm not sure I want him.

Of course you do.

You're his mother.

And he's such a lovely little boy.

I know it's not an easy situation, but you're tough. You'll get through this.

How would you feel about going into a nursing home for a couple of weeks?

Young man!

I wasn't expecting you back for a minute.

What's it doing in my office?

Well, she doesn't seem to like the kennel very much.

I'm just giving her a little bit of a break.

Get it out of here!

Yes, Sergeant.

And, Younger?

Yes, Sergeant?

Fetch a mop and disinfectant.

Oh, dear.

It's one out of the way. Well, that's how Paddy Pert likes it.

Who is he?

Paddy? He breeds so -called pedigree terriers.

I've got more of a pedigree than half of them.

If anybody's stolen your Hercules, it'll be Paddy. I just hope this isn't a wild

goose chase.

Sorry to disturb you.

Margaret, isn't it?

Yes, that's right.

I'm Joe Mason.

Oh, pleased to meet you.

I'm making inquiries about a missing dog.

Oh, look.

I don't suppose you've seen him?

No. Oh, he's a sweet kid, isn't he?

No, I'm sorry, love.

Must work a crime.

That's what you call a big crime round here, is it?

Yeah, you could say that.

Carol's lost a bottle of pills as well. It's all go.

Or maybe the dog took them. Yeah, maybe.

I noticed from the register that you live in York.

Lonsdale Street.

I thought you were checking on the dog, not me.

Oh, just curiosity. I used to live in York.

I can't for the life of me remember where Lonsdale Street is.

Just up the whole road.

Joke of you never was my phone point.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the right place.

What did I tell you?

There could be a lot of dogs in there.

We'll have to go in and take a look.

I need a warrant.

There's nothing to stop me going in.

That's trespassing.

For goodness sake, do you want to find this dog or not? Yeah. Well, yeah.

But you're scared of dogs.

Not particularly.

Yes, you are.

Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.

Look, they've been helping us find this dog.

Look, give me two minutes in there and I'll get him for you.

All you have to do is keep Paddy talking.

Oh, could you check if there's anything on file? I've got a woman called Janet

Barr. Right, I'll have a look. Do you have an address?

The one she's given me doesn't exist.

Gerald, Carl Cassidy's just called. She needs urgent assistance.

She's in Old Church Lane.

Thanks, Geoff.

I warned you about getting too attached.

She's on borrowed time.

Unless you find an owner.

No, we won't do pot anymore!

Stop it!

No, we won't do anything anymore!

Oh, come on, David.

I don't know why you're so keen on this whole business, Miss.

Because I want to help him. It's not just that, it is.

I saw a pair of dead groovy boots in the new catalogue. What?

You thought me covered in sausage and all sorts of toothies to blatant just

a flipping boot?

No.

There was a skirt I fancy as well.

Right, goodbye, then.

Stay big.

I like it, but I'm more concerned about Barbara.

It's not right.

Come on.

You've got to tell me, how many pills did he take?

Can you hear us? We're here to help.

I'll read you for an ambulance.

Come on.

Peace,

suffering.

Thank you.

And I've got a favour to ask.

All right, well...

Oh, as long as it doesn't involve any more chimney sweeping.

No. It's just... I really do love those boots, David.

Oh, don't!

No! David!

David!

Just listen to me.

Jenna, I'm sorry. This really isn't a good time.

Oh, I'm sorry. Look, I've just come to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Something's come up at home.

Hardly seen, yeah.

Well, maybe another time.

What about Margaret?

Yeah, that's what I've come to talk to you about.

She's not well.

She's... not well at all.

Why? What's wrong with her?

Cancer.

She poured her heart out to me when I went to see her.

Yes. That's one of the reasons why I brought her here without talking to you

first.

Sorry.

The thing is, she's on her own, Carol.

She needs someone to take care of her.

Will you be me?

She wouldn't ask you herself.

That's why I'm doing it.

I can't think of anyone better.

Carol.

Please.

Larceny, false pretenses, housebreaking, two spells in prison.

It's a pretty impressive criminal record.

She was supposed to be in front of the bench in Selby last week, but skipped

bail. Here's a copy of the warrant.

I'd better bring her in.

Ah, good afternoon, Mr Pates. This is a routine check to see if your dog likings

are up to date.

Aye, they are.

Right, well, I'd like to see them, please. All of them.

What's the plea?

What's the problem?

Oh, tired all the time.

Sick, too.

You might have picked up an infection.

Janet asked you about me coming to live here.

I'm really sorry if that was forward of her.

No.

I didn't know you were so ill.

I never have thought of it, but I... I have nowhere else to go.

I'm not sure this is the best place.

Well, it's not fair on you.

You can't just drop everything.

Well, there's only so much I can do.

When did you last see your doctor?

Last month.

Why don't I take you into hospital?

Carol, the doctors have already told me.

There's not much more they can do.

If I don't go into hospital, I won't come out.

And you really want to come here and live with me?

Please.

Margaret?

Do you remember this old thing?

Your granddad gave you this when you were born.

I remember when I left you at the home, I chucked it into your cot.

You were father to sleep.

And I didn't even dare kiss you goodbye in case I woke you up.

Get out.

Both of you.

What are you talking about? I want you to leave.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why?

She's your mother.

No, she's not.

What are you talking about? She's your mum.

You want to know where this teddy bear came from?

I stole it.

You always had it. I remember.

No, I didn't.

When I was little, I told everyone that my mum gave me a teddy bear and how it

was the only thing I had from home.

I almost believed it myself, but it wasn't true.

I stole it from the nursery in one of the homes I was in.

Look, you're confused.

No. I don't know why you're doing this.

Don't go.

Margaret needs help.

I... I am begging you.

As a friend.

She's dying, okay? You're supposed to help her! That's enough!

I won't say goodbye to Margaret.

You should have thought of that before.

You don't know what she means to me.

Enough for you to carry out a particularly cruel hoax.

Do you want to know what's cruel?

She's dying.

She's the only person I've ever loved and I won't be able to look after her

because I'll be in jail.

So you thought you'd con Carol into doing it for you.

I saw Carol in the paper.

It was like an answer to my prayer.

There must have been other ways.

I didn't have time.

The first time I was in prison, Margaret looked after me.

I owe her more than you could ever know.

And Carol... She's my friend. I wasn't trying to hurt her.

I wouldn't understand. You have a mother.

No, I don't.

My mother's dead.

You never wanted her back.

I was giving Carol the best gift she's ever had.

How did you know?

Well, Paddy Perks a mean so -and -so. He never feeds them dogs. This one was a

good five pounds heavier than the rest of them.

I know a spoilt dog when I see one.

What?

I should get him back to his owner.

Why don't I help?

That way there'll be no misunderstanding about who actually found him.

Unless you want to take him. No.

You really don't like dogs, do you? My wife's on about wanting one, but I hate

them. What about Paddy? Is he going to be arrested for actually stealing the

animal in the first place?

Could be tricky, seeing as we didn't exactly follow procedure.

Well, he's not going to get off scot -free, is he? It's going to take him

to round up the rest of them dogs.

I'm not happy about this.

Just close your eyes and pretend like it's not happening.

And that's lucky, too. Oh, I am so delighted that this good lady has

where you and your men failed so dismally.

You're too kind.

Come home and see Daddy wearing a cheeky body.

Do you think she meant the Chief Constable? I'm afraid she did.

Well, I hope she didn't cuddle him for too long. He's covered in fleas.

The dog, I mean, not the Chief Constable.

There was another matter.

Oh, yes, Sarge. Now, about Mrs Armstrong and this charge of taking game on a

Sunday. What about it?

Well, I realise I may not be able to establish beyond reasonable doubt that

hares were killed on the Sunday.

Could have happened late Saturday night.

And you want the charge dropped?

Might be for the best.

Oh, beg your pardon?

Younger?

If you can't find the owner, bring the vet.

She'll have to be put down.

We can't do that, Sergeant.

This is a police station, not a dog's home.

Shall I take her for you?

I'll look in again tomorrow.

OK.

What are you doing here?

I've come to take you out. I think you could do with it.

How is she?

Pumped her stomach.

The doctor thinks she'll pull through.

And the baby?

She doesn't want him.

I don't think she ever did.

I should have seen that.

You were just trying to do your best for them.

That's one way of looking at it.

They both could have died because I was so blinkered and caught up in my own

problems. You can't blame yourself.

It's perfectly understandable when you had other things on your mind. It wasn't

other things. It was the same thing.

Barbara and a baby, me and my mother.

All mixed up.

I got it so wrong. I didn't listen to Barbara.

And I started to believe that woman.

Believe that I had a mum.

Here's to your taxi.

And me new beard.

What do I want to stand there? Why, they pay me more for kissing than they do

for sweeping the chimney.

Oh, it's not more soot, is it?

No, it's actually lipstick this time.

We're going to have to get used to it now, David.

Hey, up.

As usual.

I think we've earned it today.

Well, I can't believe the nerve of them.

Lying to Carol like that?

With the list of charges against her, Janet Burr won't be conning anyone for a

long time.

Oh, by the way, I'd like to get a statement from you two, if I can,

the theft of a certain teddy bear.

I thought you were off duty.

I'm never off duty.

Oh, well, in that case, you shouldn't be drinking.

And I need this.

Ah!

Hello, girls.

It is?

I don't think Deepa's going to be very pleased on this little fellow around the

house. Well, I'm not keeping her.

She's for PC Weatherby.

Hold on. Mrs Armstrong's been telling me about how your missus has always wanted

a dog. You never said, so I phoned her. Yeah, and she heard that this sweet

little thing was going to be put down.

I don't want a dog. No, but she does.

And it's not as if you're afraid of dogs or oats, is it?

Oh, I think she likes you, Mrs Weatherby. Not as much as she likes a

scratcher.

You've got a friend for life there.

Hey! Hey, Doc!

Well, that don't look like a very nice way to travel.

Why are you doing this?

Help us.

We're travellers.

All we want is to be free and live off the land.

What have you got against Frank Kelly, anyway? I didn't kill him.
