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

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

Control to Delta Alpha 2 -4, come in.

Control to Delta Alpha 2 -4, come in.

Are you there, Rob?

Nothing. I'm not putting up with this.

No, Sarge. A convicted murderer escapes from Piven, they're put on full alert

and Walker goes AWOL. Perhaps there's someone to put his radio.

Oh, yes.

And his telephone?

Very likely.

Right, I'll go and look for him myself, personally.

Bellamy, you'd better get on to Mr and Mrs Andrews, inform them that their

precious son is on the loose.

Yes, Sarge.

And you can wipe that girl off your face.

I want you out there on your bike with your eyes peeled.

I'd better finish these. Younger, what might an escaped prisoner on the run do?

Steal some of it.

Head for home, you fool.

And that happens to be right in the middle of my patch.

Where is Rob, anyway?

Oh, please don't, Peg. No.

But he's really sad.

Not until he's had a bath.

David, he stinks.

He does not stink.

Oh, yes, he does. Because no one ever...

Ask them.

Mr Andrews?

Yes? Your Billy's escaped.

You best come in.

Right.

I'll get you a towel.

It's not really that bad.

Once you're done, she'll let you back in again, eh?

Alfred!

Poor Billy.

When exactly did he go?

First thing this morning.

Look, have you got somewhere you could go, just for a few days?

For your own safety, Mrs Andrews. Just in case he tries to make contact.

You know what he's like.

Well, I should hope so.

I brought him up.

Shh, love.

The constable's only trying to help.

The thing is, the prison staff said he was in a pretty disturbed state.

Well, wouldn't you be, if you'd been locked up in that horrible place for

something you didn't do?

All I'm saying is it might be best not to be here.

But you've got to be here, I'm his mother.

I think we'll stay, if you don't mind.

Right.

All right. Well, you've got the police station's number, haven't you?

Yes. If anything happens, anything at all, then use it.

Right, Constable.

I'll see myself out.

I know you've just seen me, now here's a surprise I

know that you have, cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and

miles and miles and miles Alfred!

Alfred, don't be silly.

Still no sign?

No.

OK, Alf.

Try Walker's radio again. Over.

Well, that's everyone I can think of.

I've locked in all the ditches in case he's being run over.

Alfred!

You're wasting your time, David.

He'll have just a run -off.

He'll be back for his supper, you'll see.

Well, I'm sorry, Sarge.

Sorry's not enough, Walker.

When you are on duty, it is your responsibility to answer your radio at

times. That is fundamental to the job. I didn't hear it. You didn't hear it

because you were too busy canoodling with Dr Trent.

I was on a break. I went round for a spot of lunch. Don't lie to me. I saw

with my own eyes.

How long has this relationship been going on?

A couple of months. Oh, for heaven's sake.

Who else knows about it? No one, apart from you.

Better keep it that way. Or better still, put a stop to it.

She's a married woman, Walker. She is not available.

Furthermore, she is a doctor and you are a policeman, both respected members of

the community.

Oh, come away, Jeff, for goodness sake.

Well, the Andrews aren't going to move out, that's for sure.

Phil.

Quick. What?

Have a listen.

Rob's having an affair with Dr Trent.

What? Yeah, Sergeant Miller's going bananas.

What, Rob's having an affair with... With Helen.

No. I heard him say it.

No.

Me and Robin mates.

He was having an affair. He'd have told me.

Look, me look automatic round at her place.

Hey, he's a dark horse, isn't he?

Bought the wool over our eyes good and proper.

Well, if it is true, big if, mind, then I'm sure he had his reasons.

That's fair, isn't it?

She's a bit out of his league, isn't she?

Look, don't give me that look, Alf.

Rob fancies he's chances with her, then.

Good luck to him.

How should they please, Stacey?

She's getting a divorce.

But she hasn't got one yet, has she?

And even when she does, it won't look good.

Two divorced people, you and her. I don't like it. I don't like divorce.

30 years I've been married, and that's because when I make a vow, I stick to

She's not staying at the police house, I hope.

No, she better not.

I don't want the reputation of my station being ruined by a reckless

Do you hear?

Yes!

Charge, we've just had a call from HQ.

Billy Andrews has been spotted in Nottingham.

How long has he been missing?

Since just before dinner time.

Oh, come on, David, that's not very long.

He's probably chasing after a bitch or something.

He's hiding, more like. Took one look at that bath and skedaddle.

Yeah, well, he does eat baths.

That's why Mr Vernon never made him have one.

Or Mr Greengrass.

I don't think Claude Greengrass knew what a bath was, David.

Well, that's where he and I differ.

I'm a martyr to cleanliness myself.

You haven't seen Alfred, have you, Phil?

No.

Have you heard about Billy Andrews?

No, what?

Thought he was in Dartmoor. Well, he was until this morning.

He's escaped.

No. Afraid so. So Sergeant Miller wants us all to keep our eyes peeled in case

he heads back this way.

Who is this we're talking about?

A particularly nasty piece of work.

A murderer.

Oh, eh?

Killed a young lass up on Moors about ten years ago, wasn't it, Oscar?

Yeah, about then.

I'll have to arrest them.

Oh, I don't like the sound of this.

He abducted her and flashed her throat with a carving like six or seven times

a mad friend. All right, all right, Bernie.

That's enough.

Well, at least Dartmoor's the other side of the country.

Ah, well, that's the thing.

He's getting nearer.

He's been spotted in Nottingham.

Oh. I thought we were looking for Alfred.

What, with a murder on the loose? You've got to be joking.

Then she was down his spine thinking he could be out there.

He's miles off, Gina.

We've no need to think he was heading this way.

He could be going anywhere.

Better go and check the garage.

You never know, do you?

Not with a nutter like Billy Andrews on the loose.

Night, Bernie.

Night. Yeah, night.

Gina.

Did you know about Rob and Helen?

What about them?

Just... Shh.

Rob and Helen?

Yes.

They've been going out together, apparently.

You kept that very quiet.

What did you just say?

I thought about Rob and Helen.

Just keep it to yourself, will you? Don't let the whole world know.

Hi.

Hiya. Hi.

What?

Nothing.

Go on.

If there is a murder in there, I'd rather know.

Alfred?

Hey, I'm begging you, how can I find Alfred?

Come on, boy. Here you are. Come on.

What is it, boy?

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

That everyone knows.

I'm sorry.

I just can't get over the cheek of it. Miller spying on us like that.

At least you didn't get good ticking off afterwards.

What exactly did he say to you?

Basically that we shouldn't be seeing each other.

Because I'm not divorced.

And Aidensfield's a small place.

And... And?

You're the doctor.

And I'm the village bobby.

Meaning?

That we both should consider our jobs, I suppose.

I mean, I can sort of see what he means, but... He asked me if you'd stayed

here. I lied, of course.

Right.

I need to get back.

Helen.

It's late.

Look, all he's worried about is that we saw the scandal. Fine.

I'll see you later.

I'll come with you.

I don't think so.

What about this escaped prisoner?

I'll risk it.

Anything's better than us being seen together, apparently.

Vlad, it's after midnight.

Look, if he's no better tomorrow, we'll get the vet out, all right?

No, I can't leave him. No, he's not like that.

Just try to put me down with the things you do and words

you spread around against me.

Evil hearted you, you can't kill me.

You bump, you smile, and well.

Come on, Rob. Cheer up.

Eh?

Well, I know that Miller gave you a roasting, but it had to be sent.

Yeah. Once she's a free woman, it'll be different.

Hello.

Hi. You look knackered.

So you getting enough sleep at night?

All right, you lot.

Pay attention.

We're looking for a brown Vauxhall Viva, registration number GBT729D.

It was nicked from a pub near York last night. We were spotted by our lads in a

lay -by near Malton this morning.

The driver was wearing prison clothes and answers to the description of Billy

Andrews. And they didn't get him?

No. He got away.

In the car?

Yes. Still heading north, so possibly for home territory.

HQ have set up roadblocks around the area. Nevertheless, I want you all out

there. Keeping a close watch.

And if you find him, no heroics.

The man's a killer.

Jeremy flies.

Hoping to be the sun from the sky.

Peace from the city and down to the cave.

In search of a mother.

That's all.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a stupid bat.

Hello?

I found him in the bathroom cupboard, eh?

Mr Greengrass' special medicine.

I'll have him in no time, eh?

Come on, boy.

Leave him be, David.

Open your mouth. Come on. Good boy.

David, look.

You heard what the vet said.

His heart's failing. There's nothing we can do.

Go on, Alfred, please.

The old dog's dying, David.

He's not dying!

Look, I know how much you love him, but you've just got to accept what's

happening.

He'll be going to a better place. Think of it like that.

Hey, Peg.

Oh, Gina.

I'm having a terrible time.

Well, what's happened to you? Well, it's our David.

Alfred's ill.

Alfred? Yes.

Very ill. We've even had the vet out.

It's old age, he said.

There's nothing we can do.

Poor David. He'll be heartbroken.

He's sitting with him, trying to get him to have some medicine, hoping it can

save him. It just doesn't seem to have sunk in yet.

How did the vet explain?

Well, he's tried, Rosie.

And I've tried, but he just won't believe it.

And that's why I'm here.

What? He'd listen to you, Bernie. You know he would. And with you being in the

business, you'd know just the right things to say.

It's true, Bernie. Yeah, and he respects you.

Go up and see him.

Go on.

Near here?

Billy's near here?

That's what we were led to believe.

Well, he certainly hasn't been here. Are you sure?

I don't know what you're thinking.

You're thinking we might be protecting him, but we wouldn't do that.

Running away is no good, is it?

Not in the long run.

Well, not with his appeal coming up. We want him to prove he's innocent.

He didn't kill that girl, you know, Constable Walker.

We know he didn't.

Right.

Are you quite sure that you don't want somewhere to stay?

Oh, no.

Like we said to that other policeman.

Our place is here.

OK.

Well, obviously we've got roadblocks set up everywhere to stop him getting near,

but don't forget, Any worries, any contract whatsoever, you get on that

straight away.

All right, thanks, principal.

Thank you.

David, you've got to try and face it.

What did the vet tell you?

Eh? He's got years in him yet.

No, lad.

He's old.

He just wants to curl up and drift away. That's what animals do.

He wasn't all right till yesterday.

David, he wasn't.

It hasn't been right for weeks.

Listen.

Death is a part of life.

A good part.

We all have to die to make way for the next lot. Otherwise, think, well,

an old place to be full of, there wouldn't be any room for any new dogs.

I don't want any new dogs.

I want Alfred.

When we're standing at the graveside doing funerals, what does the vicar say?

I don't know. Yes, you do.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

Man cometh up and is cut down as a flower.

The same applies to Alfred.

I've never heard him say that.

That's because you're too busy thinking of filling a hole in and everything.

Think about it now, though.

What it means is we start out as dust and we end up as dust.

And that's nature. There's nothing we can do about it.

All those policemen after him.

He's out there somewhere, cold and hungry.

Like a hunted animal.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Oh, please.

Oh, dear.

Oh, God.

No!

Shut your mouth.

Mother.

Don't be like that, love.

No, no. We want to help you.

Good.

Because I need the car. Car?

We haven't got it anymore.

No car at all? No.

Right. I need clothes, food and money in that order.

And make it snappy.

Don't even think about it, Dad.

I've cut the line.

And if Mr. Plutt comes back, you answer the door and you say nothing, right?

Because I'll be holding on to Mum.

And if you so much as hint that you see me, then I'll kill her.

Like I killed the other one.

No, you didn't do that, love.

You were innocent.

Dear old mother.

Stupid as ever. I'll not hear that!

No, don't! Oh, no!

Aunt Poe, did you ask Mr Scripps to come and see me?

Of course not.

Mind you, it seems to have done the trick, doesn't it?

You're a lot more cheerful now, aren't you?

He's talking about dust.

Dust, eh?

And flowers.

Flowers? And vicars.

And how you've got to cut them down, there'll be no room left in the world.

Right.

That's the flowers, not the vicars.

David, why don't you go out and get a bit of fresh air?

I'll keep an eye on Alfred.

Go on, do your good.

Yeah, all right.

All right.

OK, Alfred.

See you later, boy.

Alfred?

I'm off.

So where's the money?

Money? Yeah, money, Dad.

I won't get very far without it, will I?

So where do you keep it these days?

Under the mattress?

In the teapot?

In the bank, son.

You what? We don't keep any here anymore.

Don't give me that.

Where is it?

Come on! I told you!

It's in the bank!

No car, no money. It's crying out loud.

Stop it, please.

There's nothing here.

Stop it.

Are you sure you don't want to watch?

No, thanks.

We'll get you another one. Don't fret.

No, I don't want another dog. Oh, yeah, but with time. Anyway, I'll...

I'll be getting back to work.

David, work?

No -one's expecting you in today.

Well, life goes on.

That's nature.

I'm sorry about last night.

I put it all wrong.

It's fine.

I just don't want us to fall out over something Sergeant Miller said.

Great.

Last afternoon, Sarge, I was just sorry to put in, Doctor, but if I could have a

word with my constable.

Fine.

Right.

No sign of Andrew, so with a bit of luck, he's gone elsewhere.

Well, let's hope so.

Nevertheless, HQ want to set up more roadblocks on the eastern edge of the

sending out two more cars.

You ought to meet them at the police house and explain the maps.

Right. Owen Walker, if you take my advice, you would stop making a fool of

yourself.

Apart from anything else.

You're not in the same league.

What was that about Andrews?

Oh, it's just this escaped prisoner business.

It's not Billy Andrews, is it?

Yeah, I told you yesterday.

No, you didn't.

I'm worried about Mr Andrews already. He's got a serious heart condition.

I'm sorry. It's just everything that's happening between us and...

Can I see you later, please?

Er, yes.

OK, 6 .30 then, after surgery.

I just want to sort things out.

I'm sorry, I've got to go.

David.

I took this off before we buried him. I thought you might like to keep it.

Right, thanks.

Good luck.

Don't forget to pick up Major Penny when you're finished.

I will.

Fill her up, Bernie. Morning, Rob.

Afternoon, Mr Walker.

I thought Alfred had... Yeah, he died this morning.

Bernie's just buried him.

Sorry to hear about Alfred.

It's been a terrible shock.

No, not really.

The vet told us what to expect.

All the same.

We've all got to die, Mr Walker.

Otherwise it'll be standing room only.

Right. Well, good luck.

I can't believe it. He's been so strong.

Rob!

Mr. Andrews, it's Dr. Trent.

A nice fresh car, just what I needed.

Get off me!

You stupid woman!

patiently for you.

And you do just what you choose to do.

And I will be alone again tonight with you.

Panda wants a control. Over. Control receiving.

Over.

Alf, I found Billy Andrews' car.

When have you got to?

Helen.

Phil.

I'm on my way now.

My word.

He's in all right.

Aww.

Okay. Okay, you're all right now.

You're safe. You're safe.

I'll soon have you free.

It's going to be all right.

Where's Dr. Trent?

I don't know.

Oh, Billy.

Billy, why are you like this?

What have I done to Trent?

What have I done wrong, Constable?

Mr. Andrews.

Mr. Andrews, I'm going to take you up now.

Okay. Now take this off.

What happened to Dr. Trent?

Dr. Trent, Mr. Andrews.

Is he somewhere in the house?

Look, where is he?

I don't understand it.

He hit his own mother.

OK, so where's Billy now?

He's gone.

He took her and he went.

That scar.

Well, in heaven's name, she'd have been here.

Dad, up here.

All right, let's start at the beginning, shall we?

When did Billy arrive?

Early this afternoon.

He wanted our car, but we haven't got it any more.

And he went mad.

He had a bill hook. He'd cut the phone off.

Couldn't do a thing.

And then he wanted money. He lost his temper.

And that's when she came round.

At what time?

Oh, I don't know. It's all a blur.

Tea time?

And then he wanted to borrow her car, but she wouldn't let him have it.

That's where he went.

It's about half past four.

Taking her with him? Yes.

I don't know why he has to be so violent.

I mean, he was a lovely little boy.

He never had a temper at all in those days.

Mrs Andrews, please.

Where will you take her?

All right.

I'll deal with this.

Did you call an ambulance?

On its way, Sarge.

Here we go, Mrs Andrews. Thank you.

Mr Andrews. All right.

Did he say where he was going?

Who?

He said Whitby.

He's got a pal there with a boat.

Right. Radio HQ.

Tell them to watch the port and to move the roadblocks closer between here and

Whitby. If they're left at tea time, they want to go far.

What about a moorland search team, Sarge?

Yes. Request the full team with dogs.

First light.

Right, Sarge. First light?

We've got to look for her now.

We can't leave her out there all night.

Look, Walker, I know you're personally involved, but be sensible.

If it's too dark for us to search, it's too dark for them to cross country.

But if they're out in the open, we'll find them in the morning.

Right, get in.

Now lie down.

I'm so cold.

Shut up.

I need to think.

Look... Get off me! All right!

All right.

I was only going to offer you my coat, that was all.

Please let me go.

When we get to Whitby.

Why not now?

Because I need you with me, of course, in case they find us.

Why else would I put with your whinging and whining?

And if they catch us, I'll tell them I'm going to kill you, right?

Don't kid yourself, I'll do it if I have to.

I don't care if this is going to work, Sarge.

It will.

We're about to have crossed this valley.

They can't have gone beyond the main road. They've been watching it all

I should have realised you'd have gone round to the androids.

I should have stopped her.

We'll find her, lad.

Never you fear.

Sarge!

Billy, I can't go on. I've lost my shoes.

Try now, loud woman. Listen, Billy.

This is hopeless. I can't go on anymore.

You'd be so much better without me.

You'd be much faster.

No.

You told them where I am.

No, I wouldn't.

Yeah, you would.

And then I'd be back in Dalmore by the end of the day, banged up for life.

You've no idea what it's like.

It's a living death.

No, it's worse.

It's worse than death.

I can't go back.

I'd rather die than that.

Listen, Billy.

No, you listen.

If they catch me, I'll be even worse off than I was before, right?

Because I've blown it.

I've run away.

Stolen a car, knocked someone out.

I've taken you hostage.

I mean, I won't even get parole now, will I?

I'll be there for bloody ever.

Maybe I can help you.

Explain your state of mind.

Oh, yeah.

Don't you think they'd listen, do you?

They would.

I'm a doctor.

Please, Billy.

What?

I see your little trick.

It's a game, isn't it?

All this chit -chat.

You knew they were out there.

No, I didn't. I swear I didn't, Billy.

Well, I'm not leaving you anywhere.

Now get moving.

Now!

All right, Rob.

Will it?

Hey,

so it's a something.

That's Helen's shoe.

Come on, let's go.

All right, come on.

One squeak and you get this.

Come on.

They must have gone in the water to throw the scent up.

Rob!

Right, come on, let's keep going down the bank.

I've fed you fowls and I've done you rabbits.

Oh, David, what are we going to do with you?

You'll fret yourself to death if you go on like this.

Look, I know he was your pal and everything, but he was only a dog.

Do you want me to send for Mr Scripps again?

No.

Well, I'll leave you to it, then.

I'll just go out for a bit.

Got far off now.

I'm going over to those rocks. See if I'm miles from there.

Whoa! Sergeant Miller's set a day in lie!

How's David?

Yeah. Are you feeling any better?

No, it's terrible.

So he's not coming in today, then? You must be joking.

spot welded to that blooming sofa.

Rosie, come with me, will you? I need your help.

I don't want to stop and stay where they are until I tell them.

I'm sitting here with Sonny Boy until she goes over.

Stay back, Rob.

All right, stay calm, Billy.

Okay, Walker.

Leave this to me.

You all right, Billy?

There's nowhere to go.

You're surrounded by bobbies.

You're cold, you're wet and you're hungry.

Now, don't prolong the agony. Just be sensible, eh?

Now, there's no need for that.

Just give me the billhook and let Dr Trent go, eh? What do you take me for?

An idiot?

The longer you hold on to her, the more trouble you're in.

Well, she's staying right here with me.

Isn't that right, love?

Well, I'd sign these twins.

Let Dr Trent go?

Then we can talk properly, eh?

I'm not

going

back to prison.

Never!

I'd rather die.

Billy, just hold on a minute.

Billy, no!

Come on, young fella, me lad. You coming with me?

Oh, yes, you are. I'm not having this a moment longer.

All right, Alfred's gone. He had a good life and he lived to a ripe old age. But

now he's gone.

Lying here brooding about is only going to make you feel worse.

Now, up you get.

You come into the pub with me, I'm going to buy you a drink.

I don't want a drink.

How are you feeling now?

Tired. And shocked.

I don't think she's stopped shaking yet.

I still can't believe he did it.

Actually threw himself up the rocks.

I'd try not to think about it if I were you.

He was a wrong 'un.

He's best off dead.

Oh, no, you can't say that.

I spent a whole night and a half a day with him and I began to see what a

troubled soul he was deep down.

David, Peggy, you're just on time. The drinks are on the house.

OK, Oscar?

Aye, then. To Helen.

Helen. Or should that be to Helen and Rob?

Any less of that? Oh, go on. We all know about it now. You might as well.

It'll all end in tears.

Well, it will if Sergeant Miller's got anything to do with it.

Here you are, David.

Oh, it's so sweet.

We were born up at the farm and, well, we can't find a home for it anywhere.

Here, just hold it for a minute. No, I don't want another... Mr.

Dressler. Good Lord, what's happened to you? Now, what I'd dearly love to see is

a golden eagle.

For that, I'd pay.

Put those on my tab, will you, Oscar? You don't have a tab.

It wasn't an accident.

Magnificent, isn't it?

Hating the old man wasn't part of it. I shall turn you into the police myself.
