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

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

Gonna get up in the morning, leave out just my boots.

Gonna get up in the morning, leave out just my boots.

Well, I'm tired of telling you, ain't got much time to lose.

Gonna write a letter, gonna send a special telegram.

Gonna write a letter, gonna send a special telegram.

I'm gonna find my baby, you know doggone well I am.

Well, believe, believe my time is long.

You've got brown sauce on your chin.

Believe, believe my time is long.

What's that?

Oh, it's a genuine Casey Jones train driver's hat. I got it from a cattle...

Well, you must have more money than sense.

You look like a lemon.

Oh, stop bickering, you two. Someone's coming.

Oh, isn't it beautiful?

We're having a spot of boiler trouble.

It looks like it's died.

Oh, no, sir. I don't like it when things die.

What's the problem?

The boiler's blown.

I'm going to have to take the driver into Whitby to get some help. You can't

leave that old king great thing in the middle of the road. He's blocking my

entrance. Well, if you think you can move it, Bernie, be my guest.

I've a bad feeling about this.

...names and address.

James Nevernight, Holly Cottage.

I tried to brake when I saw you, but nothing happened.

When were the brakes last checked?

I can assure you the van is perfectly roadworthy.

I check it myself every Saturday morning.

James was a tank officer during the war.

Is everything all right?

No, it's not.

I'm impounding your vehicle for inspection.

You ought to have that seen to me in casualty. Oh, no, no.

Whoever's not very keen on hospitals.

Well, at least let me take you home. Give the cutter clean.

Okay. Well, we'd better take the new clay with us.

It'll dry out if we leave it here.

We must give you something for your trouble.

That's not necessary.

It's my job. I don't need paying.

James is a potter.

He's made some lovely milk jugs. Ever does the glazing. That's where the real

beauty lies.

We're a team.

Come on.

See what you think.

All right.

But if I see anything I like, I'm paying for it.

Don't go in there. James, I've got to put this clay down somewhere.

What are you doing?

Calling the police.

Come on.

Quick as you can, please.

Thank you. Is everything all right, Joe? I thought you were diverting traffic

away from the village.

I've got an accident to sort out.

How much longer are we going to have to put up with it?

Sorry, Bernie.

Apparently, the owner was aware it was on its last legs, but couldn't afford

repair. So they're just leaving ten ton of scrap iron half -blocking the road

indefinitely.

I think I need a lie down.

How can I do with your help recovering a vehicle, Mr. Script?

You'll never get the truck out with this in the way.

Well, I'll give you a hand. Yeah, it's about time you did something useful.

Come on, let's get the trailer on. Come on. Jeff, keep this traffic moving.

Delta Alpha 2 -4 receiving, over.

On my way out.

Oh, this obstruction's only going to be here long.

I'm sure you'll grow up from the best, Kev. Let me try on tomorrow.

This is the last thing they'll want to see.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Go back!

Back up!

Arbeit macht frei.

Arbeit macht frei.

Means work makes you free.

That's what the Nazis put over their concentration camp gates.

What's that got to do with you?

I'm Jewish.

That's something I tell everyone.

I was particularly religious.

Was this window already broken?

Yes, we've been broken into before.

Recently? Tuesday.

You didn't report it?

We thought it was just children.

Nothing was taken. They just left a mess.

Nothing like this?

No. Do you have no idea who's responsible?

No. You haven't seen anyone hanging around the cottage or had an argument

someone? We tend to keep ourselves to ourselves.

I'll ask around. Perhaps someone saw something.

We don't want a big fire.

The war's been over a long time.

I understand, but this is serious, malicious damage.

We can't just ignore it.

I didn't expect this sort of thing here in Aidensfield.

We have our own share of bigots, I don't doubt.

Not ones who go round vandalising innocent people's homes.

Have you checked with the neighbors?

No one saw anything unusual.

Alf, call division.

See if any similar incidents have been reported. I'm sure it must be someone

local. James Knight told me they'd been broken into before.

That's around the village.

Somebody may know something.

Right,

right, that'll do for now.

Hello. What time do you call this?

I've spoken to the highways department.

Apparently, the only low loader they've got that can shift a traction engine is

2B for the country roads.

You promised Councillor Jowett you'd have it shifted by tomorrow morning.

Oh, well, I may have been a bit rash.

Oh, I still think she's beautiful.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, David.

Has there been an accident?

Oh, a brake failure. We've got to do an investigation.

Was someone hurt?

Well, not seriously. There was some damage to police property, though.

Oh, hello.

Who's she?

Staying at the pub.

Where are you going?

Oh, I've just remembered that. I've got to make a phone call.

What do you know about James and Ava Knight?

Is this to do with their accident this morning? No, they've had a couple of

break -ins.

Someone painted Nazi slogans on their walks.

That can't have been very pleasant for Ava.

I don't know exactly what she went through during the war, but I'm sure it

no picnic.

Do you know how she came to be here in England?

She was the nurse. She looked after James when he lost a leg in the

And because she was Czech, they threatened to send her back to the

So, James married her.

Brought her home.

How about someone that may have a grudge against her?

Can't imagine James or Ava upsetting anyone.

They're a lovely couple.

Ah, how's the research going?

Fine, thank you. Miss Barnes here is a student of genealogy. She's here in

Adenfield researching her family history.

Ah, this is, er, Joe Mason, our village copper.

Hello.

Could I have a bit of lemon, please?

Of course.

Joe, sorry.

Mr Scripps has checked over the night's van. He says there's something you ought

to see.

I've phoned Don and he's going to pick up Jane's night and bring him over in

case he can explain it.

Oh, here we are.

The brake pipe's damaged in several places.

That's simply not possible. I check everything regularly.

If you look carefully at the pipe, you can clearly see scratch marks.

Oh, thanks.

I'm afraid Bernie's right.

Someone's been at the pipe with a hacksaw.

I don't want to tamper with my brakes.

Perhaps the same person who broke into your house and dobbed your walls with

Nazi slogans. I've been in contact with Division.

There's been no similar attacks in the area.

So why would anyone particularly want to hurt Eva?

I don't know.

Can I help you? I know what you did.

Well, I don't know whatever I can tell you that I can't.

If someone did tamper with the brakes of your van, they might be some serious

harm. They might be something your wife hasn't mentioned.

Can you smell gas?

She's unconscious, but she's still breathing.

I'll radio for an ambulance.

Whatever. It would have been down.

I don't think your wife did this.

Hey.

Cheer up, misery gut.

Peggy Armstrong to the rescue, as ever.

What have you done now?

I've bought the traction engine.

What? For the very nominal fee, given the circumstances.

But it's broken down. It's not worth a bean.

To some.

But there is this little smelter's yard in Middlesbrough that pays handsome

prices for pig iron.

You're going to melt down, Goliath?

But it's an antique.

Well, never mind that.

How are you going to shift ten tonne of immovable object to Middlesbrough? You

can't just hitch it onto David's truck.

I know.

So you're going to have to fix it up for me so we can drive it to the yard.

Now, how hard is that?

Well, very, I'd imagine.

But then, I'm no expert.

As you can see, she's still unconscious.

Do you have any idea when she might come round? How long's a piece of string

comfortable? I heard Ava Knight had another accident.

This definitely wasn't an accident.

Mr Knight, we're having trouble locating your wife's medical records.

She's not registered with the doctor.

How long have you been living in Avonfield?

Ava's not keen on doctors or hospitals.

But she used to be a nurse.

Yes. I imagine it brings that painful memory.

It's not something we talk about.

Can you tell me anything about Mrs Knight's previous surgery? There were

on your wife's lower abdomen.

Well, they've been there as long as I've known her.

Well, we'll just have to proceed cautiously so she can answer for

I'm sure she'll be fine.

She's in good hands.

Look, I'm sorry to ask you this now, but when we found your wife, you seemed

worried that she might have made an attempt on her own life.

Why do you think she might have done that?

Eva still has nightmares.

She won't tell me what they are, but I suppose I thought that that graffiti

brought it all back too vividly. There was definitely nothing else troubling

her? Not that I know of.

Ah, good morning.

Not stopping for breakfast? I want to get the first bus to York.

I believe this is what I owe for the room.

Oh, thanks.

Do you find what you were looking for?

Yes. Thank you.

You know, I never thought of Barnes as a local name.

I'm adopted.

My real parents died when I was very young.

Morning. I'm going something already.

You said the brake pipe had been cut with a hacksaw.

Looks like you were right.

Morning,

Councillor Jarrett.

Oh,

shit. Well, maybe if we did a good enough job doing it all, maybe we didn't

to sell it for scrap.

Maybe we could keep it.

I am trying to make some money here, David.

Well, perhaps I could give rides to all the little kiddies.

It could be like a tourist attraction.

You know, the Adenfield Steam Safari.

A fund out for all the family.

Don't get your hopes up. That boiler's got two blown pipes and the others are

all corroded.

They could go at any time. Surely you can plug them up with some earth.

It's not like a pneumatic tyre, Peggy. You can't just slap a rubber patch on an

oak for the best.

Those pipes have got to withstand hundreds of pounds of superheated steam.

Right then.

We'll get you some new ones. Come on, David.

I'm a plumber now, am I?

You think they came across the field?

May as well have a scour of the perimeter before we go inside.

Our attacker may have caught his clothing on the hedge.

Can I see that?

David, can I have a word?

Oh, what now?

Hope you're not after a drink this time of the morning. No,

the student that you introduced me to, the one researching her family history.

Oh, yes, Miss Barnes.

How long has she been staying here?

Came in on Tuesday.

The day the Knights were first broken into.

No problem.

We found this butterscotch wrapper outside the Knights' cottage.

Well, he's a David's favourite. He's always eating these. He says he gave one

Miss Barnes yesterday.

Have you seen the state of this towel?

I don't know what she's been doing with it. It's ruined.

Where is she?

Well, she left to get the bus to York. Must have gone by now.

Thanks. Sorry.

Good morning.

Good morning, Councillor Jowett.

Peter Younger, I understood you were going to do something about that

metal carbuncle that is still blocking the Queen's Highway in Aynesfield.

I've tried everything I can think of, Councillor Jarwood.

I can see how that could be a limitation.

But don't worry, I've been looking into the legality. I believe we might get a

better result if we apply the right incentive.

I'm sorry you've lost me.

I'll explain on our way to Aynesfield.

You want me to come to Aynesfield with you?

I'm sure the exercise will do you good. I'm afraid we're very busy, Councillor

Jowett. You see, there was a serious assault last night. Oh, PCs Mason and

Weatherby are dealing with the attempted murder. I'm sure we can spare you for a

moment or two.

Thank you, Mr Ventress.

Always ready to oblige, Councillor Jowett.

Just give me a minute.

Lisa Barnes?

Yes?

Can you get off the bus, please?

Lisa Barnes, I'm arresting you in suspicion of the attempted murder of Ava

Knight. You're not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so, but

you say may be put into writing and given in evidence.

She's not dead.

You're admitting you tried to kill her?

I don't consider I've done anything wrong.

We can discuss that at the station.

Thank you.

Oh, it's you.

It's about this traction engine.

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, I'm afraid we must.

PC Younger?

Mr Scripps, I'm here to inform you that you are in direct contravention of the

Highways Act of 1835 and 1959.

With regard to the blocking of roads.

And the Environment Act. With regard to the unlicensed tipping of metal waste.

And local bylaws 467B, 212C -G and

17A -F, amended 1906. With regard to the safe maintenance of the verge,

obstruction of views and fouling of pavements. Should you fail to rectify

situation within a reasonable period of this notice, you'll be subject to fines,

totalling the sum of... 12 shillings.

Carry five.

six shillings and seven pence. What?

It's not even my traction engine. It belongs to Peggy Armstrong. It's partly

your property.

That makes it your responsibility.

But the law is the law.

She's right, I'm afraid.

We'll give you till three o 'clock this afternoon.

That's an hour before my committee arrives.

I think that's fair.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Well, you need pipes to repair the boiler, so we're bringing your

You're not bringing that pile of junk in here.

What else do you want me to stick with?

I won't answer that.

Is this your bag?

Richard Barnes.

Can you explain where you found this?

Where were you yesterday between 2 and 6pm?

At the Aidensfield Arms.

The landlord says you went out.

I may have gone for a walk.

Did you go to the knight's cottage?

I haven't done anything I'm ashamed of.

So you're admitting that you attacked overnight yesterday?

That woman deserves to die.

You seriously believe someone deserves to die because they're Jewish?

Eva's not Jewish!

She was born Eva Hanecek, a German -speaking Czech from Sudetenland.

One of the ones that invited Hitler in and cheered when his tanks rolled over

the border.

She's a Nazi.

And 25 years ago...

She killed my parents.

My parents were Jews from Prague.

When Hitler invaded, they sold what little property they had and used the

to send me to England.

I was only three years old.

But they knew what was coming.

They wanted to save me, even if they couldn't save themselves.

What's all this to do with Eva Knight?

Eva Hanachek was a nurse at Terezin.

A transit camp in northern Bohemia. It was where the Nazis sorted Jews from all

over Europe.

The fit ones were sent on to Auschwitz.

Those deemed too weak for slave labour were weeded out, gassed and burnt.

Thousands were killed.

And your parents died at Terezin?

Yes.

How do you know all this?

I was brought up in an orphanage.

They told me my parents were victims of the Holocaust.

As soon as I was old enough to work, I started saving money for research.

I had to wait for permission to go to Prague, where I got copies of records

the camps on the Russian side.

The...

Ah, my parents' medical records from Terezin, declaring them unfit for work.

They're signed Ava Hanachek.

Ava was a nurse and maybe she was just doing her job.

I spoke to survivors.

Hanachek was known as the angel of death.

If you could pay her, she'd save you.

My parents had nothing, so they were sent to the ovens.

Maybe it was a different Ava Hanachek.

Her date of birth is on this contract of employment from Terezin. It's the same

as on the identity card I found at the cottage.

But this shows that Eva worked for the Red Cross, not the Germans. When the

Germans retreated in 1945, they handed the camp over to the Red Cross a week

before the Russians arrived.

Hanachek stayed on as a nurse, then got herself transferred to the British Zone,

a field hospital in Munich for the treatment of Allied soldiers.

Where she met James Knight.

That was a clever move.

If she'd been sent back to Czechoslovakia like other foreign

have been denounced and shot.

Instead, I've had to track her across Europe, via London to here in

Lisa, I can understand how you might feel.

But you had all this information. Why not go to the authorities? I've tried.

I have written hundreds of letters that they convinced Ava died in a bombing

raid in 1945.

And people want to forget what happened.

I can't forget.

My parents were gassed and burnt, like you said, just because they were Jews.

I need justice for them.

Justice for me.

But it's not for you to act as judge and jury.

Why not?

Ava Hanachek acted as judge and jury to my parents, and she sent them to their

death.

My only regret is I haven't sent Ava Hanachek to hers.

That should about do it.

That's perfect.

All I've got to do is fit this to the boiler.

You see?

That's what I like about our David.

He's got a positive frame of mind.

The advantage of youth over experience.

Oh, all right. May as well give it a whirl.

Well, what's the worst that can happen?

Well, we could get the boiler up to pressure and it could explode.

Ask a silly question.

Not for the books.

Still, it's hard to believe that Ava Knight is really a war criminal.

Whether it's true or not, Lisa Barnes tried to kill someone.

We charge her with attempted murder.

Let's be sure of the facts first.

Well, you have to admire her tenacity.

Tracking down Ava on her own can't have been easy.

Call Division.

See if we can talk to someone at the Home Office or whoever deals with war

criminals. Meanwhile, she remains in custody.

Yes. And let's see what we can find out about Ava Knight's history.

Talk to her husband.

How's he going to react when he hears this about his wife?

James been here all night?

He wanted to be with her when she woke up.

He's bound to be worried.

I see him very close.

I thought we might go out for a meal tonight.

I've booked a table at a restaurant I've been recommended. It's in a village

just outside of Whitby.

And the food is meant to be very good.

I could cook instead of going all that way.

I know, but I felt that you deserved a treat.

Oh.

How's Eva?

She's stable, but otherwise there's not much improvement.

Excuse me. I have to complete my rounds.

Don't know clues as to who did this.

We've made an arrest.

A young woman's confessed to sabotaging the night's fun and attacking Eva.

It was a woman?

Yeah. But why?

What's happened?

James, how much do you know about your wife's past?

Before you met, I mean.

She was a nurse in the Red Cross.

Do you know if she ever worked in German concentration camps?

What?

I've told you before, we never talk about these things.

We've caught the woman responsible for attacking Ava.

Her name's Lisa Barnes.

She says she did it because Ava's responsible for the death of her

I don't understand.

Lisa believed that Eva worked at a camp in Czechoslovakia, where Jews were

exterminated if Eva declared them unfit for work.

She thinks your wife is a Nazi war criminal.

Do you think it's safe?

No. Only I remember this incident on the filing line.

A boiler blew on a goods train, collapsed a bridge and killed the

Shall we go some more coal, then? No, I think there's plenty on now. You come

back here and stand with us while the pressure builds up.

I can't believe what you're telling me. We're trying to check with the Home

Office, but Lisa showed us documents.

Ava can't be an ugly war criminal. She's Jewish.

You said yourself she never talked about what she did before you met. I know

her. I love her.

She couldn't hurt anyone.

I can't believe it. I won't believe it.

I won't believe my wife could have lied to me for all these years.

Oh.

Careful, David.

I'm all right.

Try putting it in gear, see if you can move it forward.

I don't think I can watch this.

Right.

How are we going? I was really hoping you'd have this thing move by now.

Just one more minute.

I spoke to someone who's in contact with the War Crimes Tribunal. Now, they have

records of a nurse named Ava Hanachek of Territon.

It was adjudged a war criminal in 1946, but they haven't been pursuing her

because they thought she was dead.

Just like Lisa said.

She's waking up.

We've had official confirmation.

Lisa Barnes was telling the truth.

It's not my ever.

Can't be.

You'll soon be able to ask her yourselves.

James?

James? Shh.

You're safe now.

Try pulling that red angle.

Red angle?

Pull the red angle.

Oh, no!

I think I'm ready to go faster!

We'll never keep up with him now.

Does he know where he's going in Middlesbrough?

There was this woman.

She knocked you unconscious and turned on the gas.

It's all right. She's been arrested.

Her name is Lisa Barnes.

She was born Lisa Morikova in Czechoslovakia. She's telling lies about

She thinks you're someone you're not.

About what you did in the war.

She knows what I did.

She says you were a Nazi collaborator.

She said she knew what I did. Just tell me the truth and I'll believe you.

James, I'm so sorry.

I never meant to lie to you.

You mean they're telling me the truth?

No, can't be.

Be.

I wanted to tell him.

When he started talking about us having children, but I was scared.

So scared that he would stop loving me.

I don't blame James for hating me.

It's just as well we couldn't have children.

Why could you not have children?

Because of what they did.

What who did?

The Nazis.

I thought the woman who attacked me told you what I was.

They didn't know I was Jewish. They thought I was just another Slovak.

That's why they chose me.

For what?

To go to the Russian front.

To be a nurse?

No.

To be a prostitute.

Half my life.

Half my life I've been living a lie.

How could I be so stupid?

How could I love a woman capable of something so evil?

James, what Eva did, it's not what we thought.

What do you mean?

It's gone, then.

What? The traction engine.

Oh, yes, it's gone.

Whatever's happened to your bike?

What's it look like?

Well, it looks like it's been run over by a... Yes.

So, the bike was left in the road, was it?

Yes, I suppose it was.

Well, I'm afraid that makes you the responsible party.

That's ridiculous.

I'm sure I don't need to remind you of certain laws regarding the obstruction

the highways, dumping of metal waste, etc., etc.

Mangled bicycles littering the road will be the last thing your committee want

to see.

What's the problem now, officer?

I don't suppose you could dispose of this?

What, scrap metal?

Oh, yes, I think we could help you out there, couldn't we, Mr Scripps?

Come on, Bernie.

No.

Right.

Let's go and see where our David's got to.

Tell me everything.

I need to know.

I was born Eva Beskova. My family was Slovakian.

They were all killed by the Nazis.

But I was young and pretty.

They had a youth for me.

You could say I was lucky, but they hurt me.

So I could never have children.

I didn't feel lucky, not till I met you.

But you were a nurse when I met you.

Eva never worked as a nurse, at least not for the Germans.

When the Russians advanced, those weeks were chaos.

I managed to escape from the house where they kept women like me.

I burnt my papers and followed the railway line.

I came to a train that had been hit by a bomb.

There were bodies everywhere, and the local people were stripping them,

for valuables.

There was one young woman lying there. She looked like me.

She had lots of money.

And transit papers from the Red Cross to take her to the British zone.

So you took the papers?

Her name was Ava, too.

It was like a sign. She was my salvation.

I used her money to get to the British Field Hospital.

It was chaos there, too.

Nobody seemed to notice that I didn't know what I was doing.

And then I met you.

I never meant to lie to you, but if I told you the truth, it would have ruined

everything.

I told you that you were the first.

But you weren't.

There were hundreds.

Hundreds and hundreds.

We'll be right back.

If you want a divorce... Don't be ridiculous.

I'll leave you to talk in private.

You should have told me. I could have helped. I couldn't. I was too ashamed.

And then it was too late.

I never knew why... Why you didn't talk about having a family.

I lied to you.

I'm not the woman you married. Yes, you are.

It's just that I didn't understand, and now I do.

Can you forgive her? There's nothing to forgive.

Sir, Ava Knight is Ava Beskova, not Ava Hanachek, the angel of death.

That's right, Doctor.

Are you sure about all this? If she's been lying about her identity for 20

years, she must be good at it.

Dr Oakley confirmed that she'd been crudely sterilised. That's what they

apparently. So the SS didn't accidentally father a child that wasn't

pure.

Carol Leitha Barnes attempted to kill an innocent person.

Eva doesn't want to press charges.

That's irrelevant, I'm afraid.

It's a crown prosecution for attempted murder.

All she wanted was justice.

Justice is what she'll get.

In a court of law.

He wouldn't have gone down there, would he?

I don't know.

Oh, he could be anywhere by now.

It's like looking for a needle in a stack.

Very big needle.

Why don't you just try keeping your eyes peeled instead of making pedantic

comments?

Lisa. Lisa.

The person who sent your parents to their deaths was killed by a Russian

years ago.

No.

I can understand why you felt driven to do what you did, but you have to accept

you tried to kill an innocent person.

We're sending you to Scarborough for Magistrate's Court tomorrow.

They'll decide if you're to be given bail or to be held on remand until your

trial.

Ten tonne of traction engine can't just go up in a pop of smoke.

Oh, you don't suppose the thing's blown up, do you?

Taking our poor David with it.

I did warn you, Peggy Armstrong, steam engines are dangerous. But no, you

wouldn't listen. No, not when there's money to be made out of it. Bessie

I don't suppose you've had any reports of sighting of our runaway traction

engine? I'm sorry, I haven't.

Well, we need to report anything in person.

Don't be so dramatic, Bernie. David's only been gone a couple of hours.

I'm sure he'll turn up eventually.

If anything happens to that lad, I'm holding you personally responsible.

Do you want a tonic, please, Gina?

You look nice.

Thanks.

Have you heard about Ava?

Yeah, Crick told me.

I always found it hard to believe she could have done something that evil.

Because you're the type of person who always sees the best in people.

Here we go, one G and T.

Let me.

Oh. Right.

No.

Chris has taken me to some swanky restaurant near Whitby. A swanky

near Whitby?

Apparently. It was reviewed in the Times.

Table's booked for eight.

We've got time for a drink here first, though, eh? No.

Well, I want the two of us to have a cocktail there first.

All right. Sorry, Dean. You are allowed to have a life of your own, you know.

You don't have to spend every waking hour with your village friends.

Fire!

It's Casey Jones!

What happened to you? Did the Indians get you?

I was having for a treat, so I had to jump off.

The flipping thing kept on rolling.

Couldn't keep up with it.

Don't tell me you've lost it.

How can you lose something weighing ten tons?

Well, it's something lost, if you know where it is.

There'll be doubt, of course not.
