All language subtitles for Heartbeat s13e10 Down to Earth

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

Heartbeat, why does her love chip in my
memory?

What's transport?

It's only down the road.

Two quid?

Here,

when can you deliver?

I'll have to pick me moment.

I hope this is all above board.

Of course.

Mr Manley's only too pleased.

Don't dig it out, dig it out well.
You're digging it round and it ought to

square. The shape of it's wrong, it's
much too long. And you can't put a hole

where a hole don't belong.

What could you see if she's awake?

Why not?

I know it's early, but I've been trying
to get hold of her for days.

What, did you ask her to ring me?

Thank you. Yes. All right.

Thanks.

For nothing.

Stupid old trout.

Private call.

Oh, dear Bellamy.

Gina's still in Liverpool, I take it?

Yes.

Look, it's natural to feel anxious.

You're at a big turning point in your
life.

Marriage, fatherhood.

I mean, it's a huge thing for both of
you, yes?

Yes.

Now, I'll say what I say to all my young
officers.

If you want to talk at any time, my door
is open.

I don't imagine you confide much in
Dennis Martin.

Ashfordly Police.

Ah, Miss Stanton.

What can I do for you?

Miss Stanton. The cross we have to bear,
Sarge.

Right.

All right.

Okay.

I'll get back to you.

What does she want this time?

Her cottage has been pervaded by a
noxious odour.

Pervaded, eh?

Well, off you go then, Bellamy.

See what's worrying her.

And Ventress.

Just because she's female and unmarried,
there's no need to mock.

Tut, tut, tut.

Yes. Well, we all know you're her pet.

Well, actually, I think it's Steve
nowadays.

Does he know?

No.

But perhaps somebody should warn him.

And you didn't hear anything in the
night? No, nothing.

Where's it come from, Mr Script? I mean,
who's put it there? David.

I mean, why would anybody want to put
that in front of your garage?

Ha -ha! It's arrived!

I knew it. It looks good enough to eat.

Do you want to take it? This is your
soil.

You certainly can.

Allow me to introduce you to my new
business enterprise.

Oh, please.

Potting compost.

Bernard, use your imagination.

Put in little bags with a bit of peat
and sharp sand.

It'll sell like hotcakes.

I don't want to know.

You can already see the sign.

B and V scripts.

Garage funeral services.

And purveyors of horticultural supplies.

Just get it moved, will you? It's
causing an obstruction.

Yeah, and he's blocking my pumps.

Yes, well, I've got to bag it up first.

Vernon.

All right.

David, go and get the shovel. Oh, no.

He's with me today on funeral business.

Yeah, but I... And quick as you can.

Come on, girls.

being civil. I've tried pointing out
that he's destroying my peace and

Oh, all right, Miss Stanton. I
appreciate you don't like the idea of a

next door, but what's that got to do
with this, uh, older?

Well, isn't it obvious? It's him, isn't
it? He's trying to get me out.

Here he comes now.

You asked me to come and see you, Miss
Stanton.

Yeah, um, Miss Stanton's a bit concerned
about this, uh, pond.

Yes, I can smell it.

She wonders if you might have feathered
her sewage pipe in the course of your

building work. Of course he has. On
purpose, I shouldn't wonder.

Look, why don't you go back inside and
leave this to me, eh?

Feather her pipe?

What's she on about?

For a start, her cesspit's over there.
Look, it's nowhere near where I'm

digging. But she's right about the
smell, though.

Blimey. I mean, I'm putting every penny
I own into that house.

The last thing I need is unpleasantness.

It's really strong down here.

It's getting stronger.

Terrible.

Look, Mr Scripps, I put that heap
exactly where you said.

No, you didn't. I said round the back.

Well, I'm not moving it. It's far too
risky.

What do you mean, too risky?

Well, if I keep going down to the
village in the digger, Mr Manley'll

won't he?

I'm gone. I thought you said he knew
about it.

Yes, well, that was a flat exaggeration.

So it wasn't yours to sell?

No.

Which is why you've got to go before Mr
Manley gets back.

Oh, wonderful.

So I've got a sucking great heap of Nick
Topsoil for all to see smack bang in

the middle of the village.

Tom Parrott, you'd better get that out
of sight and fast.

Okay.

But I'll need another father.

Hi. It's old Buttercup.

I was wondering where she'd got to.

Phil.

Not a bad spot to end your days, is it?

Best get it shifted, though, sir.

It is pretty ripe.

It's a disgrace, Mr Formby.

Soon as possible.

OK?

You all right, Miss Stanton?

And it's made me ill. I shall have to
see my doctor.

Well, let's get right away from it then,
shall we?

That's it.

No more patients?

No.

Have you heard from Dennis yet? No, and
I'm not expecting to, so I'll stop

asking.

I'm sorry, but surgery's over for this
morning, I'm afraid. I need to see Dr.

Merrick. What, can I make you an
appointment for this afternoon?

No, no, it's very urgent.

I've been breathing in noxious gases for
the last two days and I'm terribly

worried.

Hello, Miss Duncan.

Come in and tell me all about it.

I thought you were out on patrol.

No, I... I just popped in to see if Gina
had come.

No. Were you sure?

Phil, I've been here the whole day.

All right.

I just, uh, left her a message to call
me here, that's all.

I don't think your antipath is the
message he's on, you know.

Maybe I should take a few days off.

Pop over to Liverpool.

I think you should give the girl a bit
of breathing space.

She's got a lot to think about.

Having a baby.

Having to give up her job to get
married.

You make it sound like a prison
sentence.

We'd want to get married.

At least I do.

You need to wonder about her.

Oh, Mr. Scripps, look.

The heat's gone.

I think so too, Cheekybit. Putting it
right in front of the pump like that.

Now what's he done?

What are we going to do?

How are we going to get Mr. Walter in?

Careful.

I'm there. What, I'm there?

You're balancing on the ledge.

This?

Come round here.

What are you trying to do?

All right, go on, give it a good soak.

It's all covered in the lake.

What on earth are you doing?

I wouldn't mention earth if I were you.

What did you put it round here for?

I can't get old Walter into the coal
store, can I?

All that fatty out on him in this warm
weather.

Oh, dear.

I'll do it.

Right, David.

That hurt, that did.

If they push him back out again, David,
we're never going to get him in this

way.

What are we going to do with him?

Can't leave him out here in the sun.

Vernon's going to have to move his heap
again, isn't he?

What? Nothing.

Come on.

Oh. I was just wondering.

About you and her.

Me and who?

Don't you notice the way she looks at
you?

No.

She fancies you.

Probably does.

Oh, really?

She's got a weakness for the younger
man.

Well, you don't want to ask anyone.

Round division.

They'll tell you.

Why didn't you phone?

Gina, I left a message every day.

Anyway, when are you coming back?

Because you're carrying my child and I
want to be with you. Is that such a

crime?

No. I just want to know what's going on,
Gina.

I am not shouting. I am asking.

Gina?

Constable Bellamy, that cow still hasn't
gone.

Miss Stanton, I'm a bit busy at the
moment.

Yes, but Mr Formby said it will be
removed yesterday.

I'll deal with it later.

All right.

Where the ex -Vernon? You think he could
have given us a hand at the very least?

He's at the doctor's.

Oh, yes. What's he got? A shovel at his
elbow?

No. Heat rash.

Heat rash?

He's the one with the blizzard heat
rash, I shouldn't wonder. Come on in

door.

When did you first notice it?

This morning.

After getting all hot and sweaty
yesterday moving something.

You feel all right in yourself, though,
do you?

Oh, yeah.

Well, I'll give you something to put on
it.

And if it gets any worse, you come back
to me, all right?

If you want to go through and wait.

Good morning.

Calamine lotion?

Oh, he's got a rash.

Still no word from Dennis, then?

How many more times, Liz?

He can't phone because he's at a
conference and it would be really

him.

Right.

He's not on the phone again.

Oh, I...

If she decides not to come back, I'm
going to need a new licence fee.

Well, you'll need one either way, Oscar.
Because if she comes back, it'll be to

get married, and she'll have to leave
anyway.

Oh, that's not fair. Why does she have
to go just because of that?

David. Well, I like Gina, and I don't
really mind that she's getting married.

I'll tell Mr Blaketon should.

It's not me, David. It's police
regulations.

Ah, Bellamy.

Any luck?

No. I'll just go through to her auntie
again.

I only wanted to apologise for shouting
at her, but no.

Mr Vernon, he's been shouting at me and
he hasn't apologised either.

Oh, when he's in the right mood.

It's not my fault that he's got to rash
my foot.

I'm lingering more like it's because he
doesn't want to move that wretched heap.

Sorry I had to call you out, Doctor.
That's quite all right.

Open up.

Now, let's have a look at this rash,
then.

Oh, hello, Doctor. Hello, David.

Brennan's not feeling too well.

Yeah, from the fat lot of good you were
when I needed you.

I was only down the pub.

I should have called a doctor out on my
own, didn't I? I didn't know you were

ill. You're right, it is getting a bit
worse.

It seems to be forming blisters.

That's why I think it must be sunstroke.

Sunstroke?

Come on, David, I'm talking to Dr
Merrick. How could it be sunstroke?

right, you are a bit feverish.

I mean, that's one of the main signs,
isn't it?

And I did take my shirt off when I was
working.

But there wasn't any sun.

David, I am ill.

It was cloudy.

All right, boys, no arguing.

I have to say I agree with David. I
don't think it's sunstroke.

But I'm sure it's nothing serious.

want the local man, whoever he might be,
and I certainly don't want Constable

Bellamy, who's been most unhelpful. I've
got two dead cows at the bottom of my

garden. I want to see the man in charge.

Can I help?

No, you cannot. I want an interview with
the senior officer at this station.

That's me.

Would you like to come through?

Talk about a narrow escape.

Radio Bellamy, will you tell him to meet
me up at Miss Stanton's place with the

farmer?

Come on in, Crane.

We'll deal with this together.

What did I tell you?

I didn't mean to shout.

I'm sorry.

I just want to know where I stand,
that's all.

No,

it'll be radio.

Look, I'm going to have to go.

I'll phone you again, yes?

I'm Gina. Gina?

I love you.

Yes,

Alf.

Enjoying Aidan's field trip?

Yes, Sergeant.

Not too quiet?

No. Good.

A lot of men your age would miss the
bright lights.

Yeah. What is your age, by the way?

Right at the drive, Sergeant.

Yes.

Oh, it's Dr Merrick.

Problems, Doctor?

Miss Stanton is on the verge of a
nervous collapse.

And I can't say I blame her.

So you're not going to tell me, then?

Sorry? Your age.

Never mind.

Yes, Sergeant.

John, ring the bell, please.

Tell him it's Elgin.

Hello, Dan.

Sir, I've got some breakfast for you.

Oh, Mr. Vernon.

Close that door.

I'm frozen solid.

What's that?

Leave me alone.

Poor old dear.

Let's give her a mild sedative.

Stay here, Crane. When the vet comes,
send him straight over.

I'd like your opinion.

All this silly fuss.

Calling police out.

With as livestock as dead stock. Any
farmer will tell you that.

Or maybe.

But it's pretty unsettling for Miss
Stanton.

Especially now there are two. I'm going
to move. I'm all in good time.

Just as soon as I find out what they
died of.

I don't believe it.

She hasn't called the doctor, has she?

Have you seen it before?

Once.

If that's what it is.

And you?

I don't know.

Maybe this morning.

From one of my patients.

Hello there.

Dr Merrick, I presume. Good to meet at
last. I've heard so much about you. Do

you want to come and see it?

Would you wait one moment, Mr Formby?

Why, when you saw that first animal two
days ago, did you not call the vet?

Well, Mr Formby thought... Mr Formby
thought?

You never, ever take the farmer's word.
Always double -check.

I'm not too happy with you at the
moment, young man.

Your mind's not in your work at all, is
it?

Let me see the other one.

Yep, same again.

Black blood from the orifices, blood in
the dung, swollen glands.

Classic symptoms, I'm afraid.

Are you sure?

Pretty unmistakable.

I suggest we all get out of here
immediately. These cattle have anthrax.

Anthrax? Dr. Merrick!

Get back, please.

Dr Merrick!

It's Mr Vernon.

He's going all black.

Oh, thanks.

That's what it looks like.

But we're not certain yet.

What cows are supposed to get that?

And people.

What's that?

It's an antibiotic.

It's very important we get treatment
started as soon as possible.

Right. But you're told still.

He's all yours.

No! No!

Vernon, before you go, let's have a
think about what I said earlier.

Have you been anywhere near Clive
Bourneby's castle?

Have you been in his fields or anywhere
near his farm? Don't leave me, David.

Yes, I'll come and see Mr. Vernon as
soon as I can.

to serve you this, Mr. Formby? It's
called a Form A, and it notifies you

you have an anthrax outbreak on your
farm. I don't understand.

It means you can't move off your farm
until you and your livestock are out of

quarantine. No, I don't understand how
they got it. Well, the usual carriers of

the disease are imported feedstuffs or
bone meal. I'm telling you, I've not got

either on my farm.

Maybe they were here in the soil all the
time from an earlier outbreak, and

something's brought them to the surface.
There's never been an outbreak.

Not in my time, no. Me dads know me
granddads. I'd know if they're right.

I mean, what about me other cows?

Will they get it? We'll have to keep a
close eye on them, naturally.

But let's hope not.

I'm afraid cutting open that first cow
was the very worst thing you could have

done.

Once you release anthrax bacteria into
the air, they form thousands of spores,

which are almost impossible to get rid
of.

And I would have been right by them,
wouldn't I? Them spore things.

I mean, my eye catch it. Come along, Mr.
Formby.

Doctor will be giving you a blood test.
I wouldn't worry.

Look, why don't you go back home and
make yourself a nice cup of tea?

Anthrax? David said that's what it was.
I didn't believe him. I'm afraid he was

right.

Vernon's got anthrax.

Anthrax? No. The cutaneous variety,
luckily.

Only on the skin.

He should be fine.

Well, how did he catch it?

Well, that's the big puzzle.

I mean, we've had two more cases today.

In the cattle.

Cattle? Up at Clive Formby's farm. Well,
what's Vernon got to do with cattle? He

hates the things.

It can't just be coincidence now, can
it?

I mean, what's he been up to recently?

Nothing.

Just this stupid potting compost thing.

I'm sorry?

Yeah, he's brought his great big pile of
earth to put into banks for people's

gardens. Well, it's a right pain,
actually, because we've got old Mr

right, David. No need to share it with
the whole world.

Can I see this earth?

Yes, yes, yes.

Where did he get it? Well, he never
said, did he?

Nope.

Hang on.

I saw the digger that came to shift this
off the road.

Yes? Well, I reckon it was the same
bloke who was working on that building

Next to Miss Stanton's.

Excuse me.

It's confirmed.

The boffins pulled their finger out
immediately and got a result.

The two cows definitely had it. And I
think I may just have found a connection

between them and my patient.

Really? Yes.

But first I need to speak to whoever
owns the plot next to Miss Stanton.

His name's Manly.

Why don't we go together?

You'd better hop in.

Yes, Sergeant.

Aren't you bored?

Sergeant Noakes! I think Dr. Merrick
wants to see you, Sergeant.

Sergeant Noakes! Your patch, Crane. Stay
with me.

We're going to see Mr.

Manly. I think you ought to be there.

Me? Sell my topsoil to a man in the
village?

No, dear.

You've got the wrong man entirely.

It's here, look.

All ready for our new garden.

Lovely stuff.

Rocks and stones.

No topsoil at all.

What the... Tom?

Are you telling me that my soil ended up
at Aidensfield Garage and that's how

Vernon Scripps caught anthrax? It's a
possibility.

What, so the germs just flew off Clive
Formby's cattle, though, and onto my

ground? Or were here to start with.

What?

Say there was a case of anthrax here
before.

The bacteria could have lain dormant in
the soil and sprung to life when you

disturbed it.

Some could have washed down the stream
and infected Clive Formby's cattle.

Others would have been in the load of
topsoil Tom Parrott sold. Oh, here they

are.

And there's Miss Stanton worrying
herself sick.

I'd better tell her what's going on.

Excuse me.

I might as well go too.

But this place was an orchard. I've got
it in the deep.

It couldn't have anthrax in it, surely?

Nevertheless, I'd get your daughters
back in the car, sir.

Oh, my lord.

Please, Miss Stanton, open up.

No -one's coming in this house till I
know why that horrible disease came

That's what we've come to explain.

The latest theory is... We're just
testing, Miss Stanton. We don't know

for certain yet.

And the latest theory is what, exactly?

Well, that Mr Manley's plot could be the
source.

That's why we've got men up there now
taking soil samples.

I knew it.

I knew that man would bring trouble.

Well, I agree with Mr Manley.

If the place was always an orchard...
Yes, but was it?

That's what I want you to find out.

There must be plenty of old maps in the
public records office.

That's in North Allerton.

Well, get yourself to North Allerton,
then. Goodness, Ventress, you're not

welded to that seat, I hope.

Well, then.

We must have an old map somewhere.

Never mind about that.

Oh, yes, we have a good one. It shows
everything.

I wonder where it is now.

The thing is, when Sergeant Craddock
joined us, he made me throw out all the

stuff. We had a huge bonfire, I
remember, out the back.

Ventress. I saved some of the things.

And I'm pretty sure that the maps
amongst them... So where is it now?

Well, I had to hide everything from
Sergeant Craddock.

So?

It's in my hiding place.

Which is?

Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a
hiding place.

Find it, Ventress, or get yourself to
North Allerton.

Choice is yours.

Sorry, Bernie.

My orders are nothing in, nothing out.
Not until we know if that soul's

infected. Excuse me, could you move
right back, please?

What about Mr Walter?

Thanks, Vernon.

Thanks a lot.

I mean, how are we going to bury him if
we can't get him out? Oh, David, will

you shut up?

All things are complete shambles. I've
got my body in there, my earth out here.

What am I supposed to do?

Go away.

I'm sorry, everybody. The funeral's off.

Wants us not allowed out.

Well, that's it.

I've turned this place upside down and I
can't find that map here.

I'm going up now.

Can I tell you what?

I'm not going to North Tallerton.

No way.

By the way, Gina called.

When?

When you were over in Aidensfield.

I phoned her. Oh, no, no.

She's out. That's what she phoned about.

She's gone to Rill with her cousin. She
said, um... Yeah?

Hang on.

What? Alston said what?

I wrote it down somewhere.

Come on, Alf, where?

It is.

She said she'd phone you tomorrow night
at seven o 'clock at the pub.

Well, didn't she say anything else?

Well, I gather she's made up her mind
what she's going to do.

And?

She didn't say.

Alf!

I need to know! This is driving me nuts!

Oh, Mr Vernon!

Are you looking what I bought you?

What's wrong with him?

Why is he shaking like that?

Rigor, sister said.

Rigor?

He's not dying, is he?

They're moving a lot, eh?

We can't risk leaving it.

Not now, they're not for definite.

Mr Manley's place was badly affected as
well.

Yeah, running alive.

Apparently they're thinking of burying
the whole plot in rubble.

Ask Mr Vernon, Doctor. Is he still in
the hospital?

Yes, and he's very much better.

Oh, that's a relief.

It certainly is.

He's very lucky, considering the state
of that heap.

State of the what?

You've had the results back, have you?

Just. I'm afraid they confirm what we
thought.

The soil samples taken from here and Mr
Manley's both have tested positive.

Highly contaminated, that one.

Highly contaminated? Here in the garage.

Mr Scripps, your neck.

What?

It's got black blobs on it.

Where?

Here he is again.

Just can't keep away.

Morning, Jenny.

Hello, Andrew.

Morning, Liz.

Goodness, you've a full house today.

Why?

Well, everyone's just so worried, you
know, especially now it's all been

confirmed.

Still, no -one else seems to be getting
it so far.

All the blood tests came back negative.

Great, and no sign of any more cattle
going down, so if we can get through the

next two or three days, we might be OK.

Let's hope so.

It's a fascinating subject, though,
isn't it?

Zoonosis. Yes.

Yes, it is.

In fact, that's really why I'm here.

Because we both work in the same area, I
thought it might be a good idea to sort

out a common policy.

Right.

Perhaps we could set up a meeting.

Yes. Why not?

I'm really sorry, but I have to get on.

I'll ring you, shall I?

Yes. And what's the zoonosis?

A disease that can be passed from
animals to humans.

Oh, and he wants to set up a policy
meeting.

Sweet.

Well, at least he wants to communicate,
unlike some people.

Well, I do wonder a little bit why
Dennis hasn't rung.

I mean, not even once, Liz.

Your husband, Jenny, is a policeman.

The job comes first, wives come second.

Recite daily and inwardly digest.

I know, I know.

Mrs Corbishley, please.

Jenny, I've got black marks on my neck
like Vernon had.

Right, you'd better come through.

Show me.

Does he have...

Oil,

Bernie. Not anthrax.

I've got it. The map that I was looking
for. Come and have a look at it.

Yeah. Mrs Ventress had it all along.

Mrs Ventress?

She was using it to line her tool
drawer.

So it's a bit worse for wear.

Now, see?

1872. It's nearly 100 years old.

Come and have a squint at this, Sarge.
What is it?

Aidensfield. Miss Stanton's cottage. And
have a look, see what Mr Manley's place

was.

A tannery.

That's right.

100 years ago, Mr Manley's place was a
tannery.

Wow.

Grenade him?

Yes. Oh, he'd just... Dug the hole in
the churchyard next to his missus.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Bernie, but the coffin
could be contaminated.

But it's going to be buried.

Yeah, but it might be dug up.

Dug up? Whoever in the world would want
to dig up old Walter?

I'm sorry about this, Bernard. It's not
me. It's public health.

So what am I going to tell the family?

Well, I don't know. Just tell them
there's a health risk, so it's got to be

cremation. Bernie, I wouldn't argue
about this.

Otherwise they won't let him out at all
and he'll be stuck in your chiller

forever.

A tannery?

A long time ago, Mr. Mudley. It closed
in 1890.

And the trouble is, in those days,
tanneries were well known for carrying

anthrax.

Imported hides brought in the disease.

Bits of hide got buried on site.

But we're talking about 70 or 80 years
ago.

Ah, yes.

But it can remain active a lot longer
than that.

Look, I've had a word with the
scientists, and unfortunately... What?

Well, it seems now that you've brought
it to the surface, it will be very, very

hard to get rid of.

What are you trying to say?

The site won't be safe to build on, sir.

I can't build my house.

I don't think so, sir.

It wouldn't be allowed.

I'm so sorry.

Must be a dreadful blow.

Good news, Miss Danton.

It seems I won't be disturbing your
peace after all.

There'll be no house next door.

Poor fellow.

I felt very sorry for him, didn't you?

Yeah. Still, looks as if we've managed
to keep the outbreak contained.

Yep.

Do try to relax, Craig.

Sorry, Sergeant.

Perhaps you're overdoing things.

It's your day off tomorrow, isn't it?

Yes. Well, there you are then.

A chance to wind down.

Got any plans?

No. Well, at least I might have, yeah.

Do I take it you're courting?

No.

Well, yes and no.

No, well, yes and no.

Which is it?

Um, no.

You're a jumpy sort of lad, aren't you?

Sorry.

Is it me?

No.

You mustn't be so shy.

I'm not going to bite.

You're a nice boy.

Thanks. A nice boy who should find
himself a nice girl.

Although with this shyness of yours,
perhaps you need someone who can take

lead.

An older woman might do the trick.

Could you stop him off the side?

Sorry, I've just remembered something.
Something I left behind at Mr Manley's.

Well, that was miles back.

I like walking.

Get in.

You idiot crane.

You didn't honestly think I was
offering, did you?

Oh, you're far too green for me, my lad.

Far too green.

Ta -da!

Oh. Can I come in?

Actually, I was just about to put my
feet up.

Excellent. The perfect time for our
little chat about zoonosis.

Excuse me.

Huh?

Where?

All right, I'll be straight over. All
right, I'll... I'm awfully sorry,

I'm the local police surgeon, and that
was a call -out to a sudden death.

How absolutely fascinating.

Can I come?

No, no, no, don't take me yet.

I'm not ready to go. Calm down, Mr.
Scripps.

I don't want to go yet.

Don't be so silly. It's your brother.

And he was doing so well. I can't
imagine what all the fuss is about.

It's all right, Mr. Vernon.

It's me, Bernie. We've just come from
the crematorium.

Yeah, Mr.

Walter's had to be cremated.

Oh, oh, Bernard.

I'll just...

A terrible out -of -body experience.

Yeah, well, you might have another one
when you get home.

That heap you dumped on me's lost me
five days' sales at the garage and three

funerals I shall be wanting
compensation.

I'm too ill to see anyone.

Sister! Sister!

Sister, send them away!

Send them away!

Do we know who he is?

Not yet, no.

I do.

He's Mr Manley's digger driver, the man
who stole the topsoil.

Doctor, that was a walking miracle not
getting it.

I mean, I cut that beast open with my
bare hands.

And that was the most dreadful risk.
You're very lucky.

Not lucky, young lady.

Clever.

I used me loaf.

All right, so what is Clive Pornby's
secret anti -anthrax treatment, then?

dip.

Sheep dip?

But that's a deadly poison.

An organophosphate. Exactly.

Kills everything.

I put it on all over for maximum effect.

All over?

Oh, Clive. That was really, really
stupid.

I didn't get anthrax, though, did I?

Sheep dip wouldn't have made the
slightest difference to that, and you

have been... Hey, Bellamy, come on in.

Half an hour to go, just in time for a
bit of Dutch curry.

Oh, no.

I won't be touching a drop.

Thanks for coming along.

It was a great help that you knew who he
was.

Glad to be of use.

Fancy a meal?

That's very kind. On me, of course. We
could talk the whole thing through.

Look... Please say yes.

I've been dying to ask you out since we
first met.

I find you awfully attractive and admire
you tremendously.

I'd be honoured.

I'm really sorry.

Oh.

Right.

Sorry.

I just thought it worth a try.

Ooh.

Two minutes to go.

If you ring.

She will.

Oh, come on.

It's only Gina.

You're not going to your execution.

It feels like it.

My whole life could depend on this phone
call.

Well, that's a bit melodramatic, isn't
it? Really, Oscar?

It's either happiness or misery, isn't
it?

I mean, her staying in Liverpool or
coming back here.

Just getting married, having the baby,
and being a proper mum and dad.

That's what's at stake.

I have just had the most embarrassing
time.

What's up?

Still waiting for his phone call.

I love this spot.

I was going to bring up my girls here.

Try to make up for the loss of their
mother.

Oh, dear.

I'm so sorry. A country idyll.

That's what it was going to be.

And it's hardly that anymore, is it?

The dream has been well and truly
shattered.

And dreams...

Usually her, I suppose.

Look, I don't have a family.

And that house is far too big for me.

No.

No, it's your spot.

You enjoy it.

That was only an interloper.

Yes.

Right, I'll get him.

Hello, Gina.

Steve Crane. He's one of yours, isn't
he?

He's the real father of my baby.

But if my daughter's been raped by a
copper, there's no way I'm going to let

cover it up. You're mine, copper.
