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

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

It's a public right of way. This is not
a right of way. The right of way runs

down beside the edge of that field and a
damn nuisance it is too.

It was just playing.

He was worrying my pheasants.

If you point that gun at us, I'll have
the law on you.

Really? I suggest you get off my land
now or I'll shoot the other mutt too.

Come on, deeper.

Charles, how are you? Very well. I've
got a couple more guns who'd be

in joining your shoot if you've got
room.

More the merrier. Bring them along.

Splendid. See you Saturday.

Be there.

Oh,

for crying out loud, Julie, will you
shut that child up?

Um, your wife's in the kitchen.

I'm Carol, the district nurse.

Oh.

Right.

You just shot him like he was some kind
of vermin.

How far were you from the footpath?

Not far.

Langley Smythe, he's called.

They moved in a couple of months back.

City bloke, tons of money, drives a jag.

Yeah, I think I've seen him.

I promised David I'd look after Dee for
a while. They were away, so I thought

I'd take them both for a walk.

And this is your aunt's dog?

What am I going to tell her?

Well, in terms of the letter of the law,
you were trespassing.

And if the dog was wearing his
pheasants... No, he was just playing. He

touch the stupid birds. He just made
them flap about a bit. Well, if he shot

dog maliciously... Rob, he shot him
because he enjoyed it.

You should have seen the look on his
face.

He's fine when he's with you.

Babies cry.

Not something to be frightened of.

I just don't know what's upsetting him
so much.

You be calm and he'll be calm.

Maybe I'm just a terrible mother.

Too good you're not.

I think you're doing really well.

I'll call in again tomorrow, okay?

You've been ever so kind. Thank you.

Morning. I was called to the gentry.
Hope you remember to tug your forelock.

Hardly call the Langley Smythe a gentry.

She's very sweet, but not the least bit
posh. Just had her first baby.

Have you met the husband?

Briefly. And is he sweet?

I didn't think so.

He's just shot Rosie Cartwright's dog.

Seriously? With me look.

Younger? Get out to Bill Galloway's
farm, will you? Some joke has been

all the gates again. There's livestock
everywhere.

Can I take the patrol car, Sergeant?

Now that I've passed the test?

Well, I could be up there in about 15
minutes.

Then if you pedal hard, you'd be up
there in 20.

I'm not having you put a patrol car in a
ditch.

Good exercise.

That's what a lad your age needs.

Well, the dog... was on my land, and it
was after my feather.

I really don't know what all the fuck is
about.

Well, the owner of the dog alleges that
you shot it unnecessarily and

maliciously. If so, then that certainly
is against the law.

And you plan to put me up before the
local beak on the face of some silly

I'm sure Charles Ashfordly will be
highly amused.

Were any of your peasants actually
injured by the dog?

What's your name again?

PC Walker. Well, PC Walker, here's my
statement.

And you can get your notebook out and
jot it down, if you like.

I was walking through the woods, which
happened to be private property. There

was an out -of -control dog rampaging
through my pheasants. I was forced to

shoot it in order to protect my birds.
Now, if you think you can prosecute me

for that, please go ahead. I'll see you
in court.

Good morning.

So hard till the sun is going down.

Working on the highways and byways and
wearing, wearing a frown.

Don't you know that the sound of the men
working on the chain.

So this is the modern police force, eh?

Mechanised rapid response units rushing
to the scene of the crime in minutes.

It's a steep hill, is that?

I remember when coppers were fit.

They'd been owning all my gates again.

I reckon they nixed kids.

Have you seen them, Mr Galloway? Oh,
aye.

Did you chase after them?

Me? No, I'm not breaking me. They
couldn't run after a bunch of kids.

That's your job.

Rosie says the dog didn't do any real
harm.

Well, she would, wouldn't she?

She reckons she could have called it
off, but he didn't give her the chance.

What do you reckon?

I think he liked shooting things.

It was on his land. He thought he could
get away with it.

Langley Smythe.

Didn't he buy up Sir Henry Clegg's old
place?

Yeah. I gather he's got a shooting party
there this weekend.

Now, be realistic, Walker.

You go after that sort, you've got to be
absolutely sure of your facts.

All right. What if it was some
gamekeeper who was taking potshots at

You'd still need solid evidence of
malice.

Do you have any third -party witnesses?

No. So it's her word against his?

I believe her.

He'll probably have half the local bench
up there shooting with him on Saturday.

Let it go, Walker.

You're not hiding to nothing.

Baby, you can't catch me.

Baby, you can't catch me.

I'll give you gas.

I've gone like a.

New Jersey turnpike.

Roll it. Roll it. Roll it.

I'm sorry,

Rosie. It was down to me. That thought
always get away with it, though, don't

they? Well, if the dog was out of
control, he was within his rights. He

out of control. He was just running
about like dogs do.

Oh, I know it's all my fault.

Was your aunt very upset?

We buried him this afternoon under the
apple tree at the end of a garden.

There you are, Rosie.

Hear that down you.

Well? I have no chance to tell him yet.

Tell me what?

Every Friday night it's the same thing.

I mean, all babies wake up at night. It
doesn't mean we have to wake up as well,

does it?

I've said all along we should get a
proper nanny. Well, I don't want a

I want to do it myself.

Yes, but you're useless at it.

So it's good we have to have a district
nurse freaking in and out every day.

I like Carol.

It's not as if I've got any friends
around here, is it? How can you count

a friend? She's a nurse.

Well, I was a secretary when you met me.

Yes, and now you're my wife and I expect
you to behave accordingly.

When have you ever made the effort to
make friends, huh?

You've been dinner party with goatees.
You sit there like a stuffed dummy.

Well, I don't get along with those sort
of people.

Yes, we all know who you do get on with.
Oh, Simon.

Look, we've been through this.

Harry's your cousin.

As usual, you go getting the wrong end
of the stick.

I don't suppose I'll ever really know
the truth about that.

Well, I'm telling you the truth.

I always have.

Put him back in the nursery now, or I'll
do it myself.

I mean it, Julie.

Two kids on bikes, and you're telling me
you couldn't catch them?

If I'd been in the patrol car... I've
had Bill Galloway on the phone.

I want this sorted and no more excuses.

Yes, Sergeant.

I don't know.

What's the matter with lads today?

They won't cut it in.

Patrol cars.

I've rode more miles on a bike than I
care to remember.

Out to your place.

First on my list.

That won't be necessary.

You've been so kind, Carol, but you
mustn't come over anymore.

What's happened to you?

It was an accident.

What kind of an accident?

Take the sunglasses off, Julie.

Did he do this to you?

He doesn't mean to hurt me.

I make him angry.

It was an accident.

Come over to my place. Let me examine
you properly.

No, I'll be fine.

I've got to go because the baby's in the
car.

How badly hurt was she?

I'm not sure.

She wouldn't let me examine her.

The poor girl's just had a baby, for
heaven's sake, and he's beaten her up.

we know that for certain?

Don't be such a policeman about this,
Rob. I'm just asking the question any

court would ask.

She said she had an accident.

Her face accidentally glided with his
fist. Oops.

You know the sort of thing.

Will she be willing to make a complaint?

I don't think so.

Believe me, Cal, I would love to go and
nick him, but domestic violence is...

With a minefield.

She's putting a brave face on it, but
clearly she's frightened of him.

She needs help.

She has to ask.

I'll give you a great excuse to do
nothing.

A series of assaults has taken place.

I'll talk to Miller about it.

I can only guess what he'll say.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Jeff.

With that old bone shaker in her back,
you need to be Superman to get up that

hill. Superman?

I'm so unfit, I can't even catch a
couple of scrawny kids.

Why don't you bring the bike round the
gallery?

Maybe there's something we can do with
it.

Right, listen up, everyone. Gina has an
announcement to make.

I'll just be quiet at the back.

I told you we didn't want to make a big
thing of it.

I think you should.

Gina, go on, why not?

Well, me and Phil, we've had our ups and
downs.

That's for sure.

But he is the only man for me.

And I absolutely love him to be.

And we're going to get married.

I'd just like to add my congratulations
to Gina and who's a lucky boy, Bellamy.

And I'm not saying this lightly, but
drinks are on the house.

Hey, he's right. You're a lucky man. You
think I don't know that? It's Gina I

feel sorry for.

I'd better start down on the head night.

You said you're off in style.

I haven't even thought about that yet.
Or anything else.

You're a bad lad, Oscar.

So,

what are we drinking?

Well, I could mirror a pint.

Hey, you're on milk.

A half, then? I want you fit as a fiddle
by the time we walk up that aisle.

Gina, you're the best medicine anybody
could wish for.

Come on, let's see the ring, men.

Thanks, Jane.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Good for
them, eh?

Yeah.

I will talk to Mila.

See what can be done.

Thanks.

Poor Julie.

She must have thought he was a knight in
shining armour once, too.

Yeah, sometimes things do work out.

Come on, you two, fill them glasses.
You've got to do your drinking for me

you know.

Come on, I'll get one.

Hey, make sure you make this in one.

Hope you've got something decent for us
to shoot at, Simon. I don't think you'll

be disappointed, Charles.

Didn't know there'd be ladies joining
us.

Excuse me.

As you can see, this isn't terribly
convenient.

I've come to see Julie.

The baby's fine.

I thought I'd have a look at her anyway,
make sure she's all right after her

accident.

Good morning, you little tip. Miss
Cassidy, how are you? Did I just hear

sort of accident?

I was wondering where Julia got to. I've
been teaching her to ride.

She took a tumble, poor thing.

Nothing serious.

Oh, dear.

But she's a new mum, so we must take
proper care of her. Mustn't we, Mr

Smythe?

Yes.

I'll show you in.

I know my way.

Another drink, Charles?

He shoots a dog and is now beating up
his wife.

Are you sure you haven't got a grudge
against this man, Walker?

No such.

Of course not.

Nurse Cassidy only told me about the
beating last night.

Have you talked to the wife?

No. It's Nurse Cassidy's notion that we
should intervene.

It would be.

Don't get me wrong.

A man who hits his wife is a coward in
my book. I've got no time for him.

Well, maybe I should talk to her.

Well, you can try.

But in my experience, they'll cry on
your shoulder one minute and tell you

a brute he is, and then the next day
they'll change their tune, won't hear a

word against him. So he gets away with
it? Yes, again, we do nothing.

Don't make this personal, Walker.

I'm not.

This woman was theoretically occulted.
Isn't she entitled to the Lord's

protection? You get into the middle of a
domestic, you might make things worse

rather than better.

And she'll be at the receiving end.

But it's up to you.

Are we fast, Mac?

So romantic.

He tells me flowers every day.

He loves me.

I know he does, but since we've had
Charlie, it's just got difficult.

Did he hit you in the stomach?

No.

He doesn't mean to hurt me.

I think you should see a doctor.

I couldn't.

It would be too embarrassing.

Julie, some of these bruises are quite
nasty.

Oh, they'll heal.

Has he ever been violent with Charlie?

No, of course not.

He adores his son.

You should have seen his face at the
hospital when they told him it was a

He's so proud.

Well, how about to make an appointment
with the obstetrician at the hospital?

You can tell Simon it's just a regular
postnatal check -up.

Yeah, but he'd know, wouldn't he?

He can't do this to you, Julie.

It's wrong.

I know that.

But I love him.

And he loves me.

And this is all just a terrible mistake.

I don't know what I'd do if he loved me.

Hey.

Come on.

That's it. Brilliant.

It feels a ton lighter.

Well, that's because it is.

I tripped it down quite a bit, made it a
bit more of a racer.

I reckon I could go a bit of speed up on
this.

Well, now you can catch those little so
-and -sos.

At least they won't get away with it.
Oh, it's magic.

You're a real pal, Rosie.

You know, you wouldn't look too bad on a
proper racing bike.

I look better in a car.

Well, with fancy dog floats and the Tour
de France and all the muscles on their

leg. Hey, come on. Roll up your trouser
leg.

Let's have a look.

You're not in trouble with the law, are
you, Simon?

Well, the truth is, Charles, I am.

A couple of days ago, I caught a dog
ripping my feathers apart.

The thing was going berserk. I had to
shoot it. No choice, really.

Turns out it belonged to the girl at the
garage.

Well, I'm so fortunate.

Well, let me have a word with Walker.

He's a decent enough fellow. Oh, would
you? I'd be most grateful.

I certainly don't want to upset the
locals.

Simon's just told me about the dog.

Has he?

Now, we're all dog lovers here, Walker,
but if one of mine went berserk, started

worrying pheasant or livestock, I'd
shoot it myself. I'd have to.

I appreciate that.

Well, would possibly a small offer of
compensation set the matter straight?

The girl works up at Scripps, I believe.
I'd be very happy to act as

intermediary. You can try it.

How is your wife, Mr Langley Smythe?

My wife?

She's fine, thank you.

I thought you said she took a tumble
from a horse. Oh, she did.

Oh. Well, that would explain it.

Explain what?

She's been seen in the village.

Several people seem to have got hold of
the idea that she was the victim of an

assault.

That's absurd.

She's got a few cuts and bruises from
the fall.

The district nurse is very kindly
looking after her.

Ah. Well, that's a relief.

I just thought I'd follow it up. I'm
most grateful for your concern,

Walker.

Here they come!

Enjoy your shooting.

Hello, Mr Galloway. Here's the plan.

I'm going to position myself in that
shed over this wall.

You can see for miles from there.

And I lie in wait.

What if they don't come?

Oh, they'll come, Mr Galloway.

See, it's all about psychology.

Why? You see, they think they've got one
over on me.

So they'll be back to relive their
triumph.

They'll not be able to resist.

Unless, of course, the man stops them
going out.

Well, that's possible, I suppose, but...

I think they're too devious for that.

The Fremdell mine can fall very early
on.

Oh, well, you're the copper you should
know.

Shall I get the wife to make you up some
sandwiches in a flask? Oh, that'd be

lovely. Yes, I've a feeling you're going
to be out there a while.

Hi.

Have a good day?

No, not really.

Seems the entire village has heard about
your little accident.

Who the hell have you been talking to?

No one.

What is that wretched nerve?

You can't know anything where it doesn't
belong.

How did you get rid of her?

Well, I cried.

I've asked her not to come over.

You're so full of yourself, aren't you?

All you care about is the brat.

Please don't call him that.

He's your son.

You don't care a jot about me.

Simon, that's not true.

Damn hard, you know.

Moving into a new place, trying to make
your mark, meet the right people and all

that.

Putting on a shoot costs a small
fortune. I know.

Where were you when I needed you? I'm
always trying to make excuses.

Excuses for you.

I'm sorry.

You're such a pretty girl.

People always want to talk to you.

You don't have to be so nervous all the
time.

I'll try harder.

I promise.

Come here. I'm not going to hurt you.

What happened to us, Bitten?

We used to have such fun.

We did.

Just come pick you up from the little
flat and we'd drive down to the coast.

Everything was perfect then.

I love you so much, but you do make it
hard for me.

I know.

I'm sorry.

What we need is a fresh start. Put all
this behind us.

Yes.

I can be the sort of wife you want, but
you just have to be patient with me.

I will. It's just been a very tough
time.

And you'll not be so angry.

Okay.

In a beat to you.

But it won't happen again, I promise
you.

That's the sound of the men working on
the chain.

Gang.

That's the sound of the men working on
the chain.

Gang.

All day long they work so hard till the
sun is going down.

You hear them moaning their lives away.

Then you hear somebody say.

Oh, Mr Cully.

You've missed them. Three gates they
opened. Me and my lad have been chasing

sheep half the evening.

I don't know what we pay our taxes for.

Oh, lack.

I'm sorry.

I'll still be having a word with your
Sergeant Miller.

You're looking better.

I am.

I'm much better.

Me and Simon have had a talk. He's going
to change.

He's promised.

That's good.

Besides, all marriages have rough
patches, don't they?

The arrival of the first baby can put a
strain on things for a lot of people.

Yeah, but we're going to get through it.

I know we are.

Underneath, he's still the same man I
married.

I'm really pleased.

I know you've just been doing your job,
but, well, I think we've become friends.

Well, I regard myself as your friend.

I understand if you don't feel the same.
Of course, don't be silly. Of course I

do. We are friends.

We should go out for a drink one night.
You should meet more people in the

village. Oh, yes.

Yes, I'd love that.

Some of Simon's business contacts.

Well, they're a bit old and fuddy -duddy
with terrifying wine.

Well, let's make a definite date.

Oh, here's someone else you should meet.

Robert, I think you've met Mrs Langley
-Smith.

Oh, please, Julie.

Langley -Smith is such a mouthful.

Hello, Julie.

Rob's our local PC.

Ah. I have actually met your husband.

Oh, yes, yes, he said.

Some awful business with a dog.

I hope you don't hold it against him.

Oh, this is Charlie. Hello, Charlie.

He's a handsome little fella.

Oh,

well, isn't this jolly?

I'm going to have to make a dash for it,
darling.

Yes. Oh, don't forget our drink, please.

Nice to see you, Nurse Cassidy.

Take care, Julie.

You're also too pleased to see you.

No, I... I had a word with him
yesterday.

I let him know that I knew what was
going on and had my eye on him.

Oh, good for you. About time that bully
was shamed into behaving himself.

Yeah, I hope it works.

Carol's invited me for a drink.

Isn't that sweet of her?

Well, if that's the sort of person you
want to socialise with.

Oh, darling, don't be so stuffy. Well,
do you know how much money people have

got?

You said I could make them more friends.
I didn't realise you and...

Constable Walker were quite so chummy.

I only just met him.

I find that hard to believe. Carol
introduced us.

Yes.

He was just making a fuss over Charlie.

I'm not a fool, you know, Julie.

You forget we've been here before.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Doesn't matter.

Thing is, Scripps, no one wants any
unpleasantness. Certainly not over a

I do appreciate that emotion.

I knew Simon Langley's father.

Very successful banker and a pretty hard
act to follow.

You know, I don't think Simon fared too
well when he tried the city himself.

Maybe country life will suit him better.
Well, if he's going to live round here,

he needs to learn how to treat people
properly.

Starting with his own wife.

Rosie. What do you mean, exactly?

Take the note. It's just a bit of
village gossip.

I've fallen off plenty of horses.

I've never managed to give myself a
black eye doing so.

As you say, village gossip.

And thankfully it's not up to us to
interfere in people's private lives. Oh,

you just want to pay us off for the dog?

Settle that bit of unpleasantness?

For the fact he beats his wife black and
blue, or we'll just turn a blind eye to

that because he's rich.

That's enough.

Oh, if he comes in here, Bernie, I'm not
serving him. Rosemary!

I'm sorry you're not.

to go away.

Here's the plan.

They won't get away from me this time.

And they thought I was copper!

We were young with all of our might.
Catch us if you can.

Catch us if you can.

Catch us if you can.

Comfortable walker.

Rob, please. How are you? Very good, and
you?

Yes, good, thank you.

Imagine

what

Miller's going to say.

He gave me a right roasting before.

Come on, Jeff, you've done your best.

I can't be beaten by a couple of kids.

They always get away by crossing the
street.

Yeah, yeah, I suppose they do.

Why? What are you thinking, Al?

Nothing. Just the notion.

Rosie, I'd like you to meet Julie
Langley's wife.

Your poor dog.

I'm so sorry.

Actually, it was me answer. Just used to
take him for walks. Oh, I hate guns and

all that shooting.

I know it's all part of the country
life, but I could just never quite get

to it.

It's all over with now.

It wasn't my fault. I should have kept
him on a lead.

And this is Gina. She runs the pub.

Hiya. Welcome to Aidenfield.

We've been here several months,
actually, but...

It does feel like I've just moved in.

You sit down. I'll get the drinks.

Two G &Ts and a pint, please, Gina.

You were very nice, considering.

You can still see the black eye under a
meat cup.

Sorry I'm late.

Do you know, for a jolly nice lop, you
should have come.

Lop?

I thought it was just Miss Cassidy you
were meeting.

I met Gina, who runs the pub, and Rosie.

I had to apologise about the dog.

I don't see why.

I ended up having a nice chat with her,
actually, and Rob Walker.

You know, the policeman, he was there.

Oh, well, what a surprise.

The ubiquitous Constable Walker.

And did he ply you with drinks? Because
you've quite clearly had a skinful.

I've had a couple of gene teeth.

What happened after you left the pub?

I got a taxi home.

You expect me to believe that?

Yes.

When did you really meet him?

Who?

Walker!

Don't say the other day because I know
you're lying.

Why would I lie?

You're after him, aren't you? Just like
before with Harry.

Sniffing around him like a bitch on
heat.

Rob Walker.

That's absurd.

Why do you keep doing this?

You've been making a fool of me all
along, haven't you?

Simon, you said you weren't going to do
this again. You promised.

If you want to leave me, there's the
door.

I can promise you one thing. You will
never see your son again.

Please just don't do this.

She sounded really frightened.

She begged for my help and then she was
cut off.

Right, let's take your car.

I'm Sergeant Miller, Mrs. Langley
-Smith.

Can you manage to tell us what happened?

What do you want?

Your wife is in hospital, Mr Langley
-Smith.

She has two broken ribs and multiple
lacerations.

Do you happen to know how she came by
those injuries?

What do you do with me?

She walked out last night.

Left me.

Stupid cow.

Where's your son?

Asleep in the nursery.

We'd like to see him.

Do you have a warrant to enter this
house?

You can easily get one.

We can also contact social services with
reference to the welfare of your son.

Seems all right, Sarge.

Satisfied?

Not really.

You say your wife walked out on you.
When?

Yesterday evening.

We had words. She upped and left.

Did you hit her?

Does she say that I did?

No, she doesn't, does she? Otherwise
you'd be arresting me. Answer the

Did you beat your wife? No, no,
absolutely not. Then if you didn't, who

the hell should I know? She was fine
when she left.

She must have been assaulted.

I do hope you'll use your best efforts
to find her, assailant. Sergeant.

Oh, we will.

Believe me.

Does he really think he's going to get
away with it?

Unless she can be persuaded to make a
statement of complaint, we've got

I understand why you don't want to talk
to the police.

Please tell me what happened.

He... He accused me of chasing after Rob
Walker.

That's ridiculous.

Any man looks at me twice and he just
goes mad.

I swear to you, Carol, I've never given
him calls.

I'm sure you haven't.

But that's the point. It's him, Julie,
not you.

That's why you have to stop it now.

You have to give evidence against him.

You don't...

There's your stream.

And the only way down to it from that
farm is down this track.

Now, let's see what we've got.

Well,

this will do for starters.

Hi, Rob.

We heard about Julie.

Is she going to be all right?

Not really. She's in hospital.

I hope you finally locked him up.

Afraid not. She won't give a statement,
and we can't prove it was him.

Well, that's domestics for you. Always a
nightmare.

When Carol and I found her last night,
she's about three miles away from the

house.

Given her injury, she couldn't have got
that far on her own. He must have put

her in a car and then dumped her.

So we're doing a door -to -door, see if
we can find any witnesses.

I'll give you a hand.

No, mate, you're on the sick.

I can manage to knock on a few doors.

An animal like that, once put in a way.

I'll get my uniform on.

Hello, darling.

How are you feeling?

I told the police they thought I was
going to go find those thugs.

Do you think you could excuse us,
please, Madam Cassidy?

I'll stay, unless Julie definitely wants
me to go.

I'm sending Charlie to stay with my Aunt
Marion in York.

What? You can't.

Someone has to look after him until
you're back on your feet.

I'd be happy to take care of him.

You've a full -time job we couldn't
possibly impose on you.

I can look after him myself.

We're all hospital bed.

Don't be silly, darling.

Once you come home, then Charlie will
come home. I want my baby, so you can't

take him away from me.

Do you really think you can blackmail
him to keep him quiet about what you've

done? I don't think it's up to you to
come between man and wife.

You need help, Simon.

Proper psychiatric help.

And you've the medical qualifications to
give that opinion, have you, Nurse

Cassidy?

You'd really like to put me in my place,
wouldn't you?

Because that's what you do, isn't it?

You're such a pathetic, inadequate
little man who has to rely on his money

his fist to control people.

Go on.

You know you want to.

I'm just some stupid nurse getting in
your way.

You could teach me a lesson, couldn't
you? I can't. Stop.

If you want to do something really
useful, you could go and put these

flowers in water.

Just get over.

Have you heard about

Julia, Lordship?

He finally put her in hospital.

Oh, no. What happened?

Well, nobody knows for sure.

He's best left to the police.

Well, she's too scared to give evidence,
so the police can't arrest him.

Maybe you could have a talk with him. He
might listen to you.

You know, I nearly had him. He was that
close to punching me.

Carol, are you mad?

He could have been seriously hurt.

And he'd be behind bars.

You can't put yourself on the line like
that. It's too dangerous.

In the end, if Julie Langley Smythe
wants to stick by him, it's her choice.

There's nothing we can do.

But he's blackmailing her. It's blatant.

She goes back to him and keeps quiet, or
she loses the baby.

Promise me you'll stay away from him.

Oh, but someone's got to do something,
or that woman's going to end up dead.

You're lucky to catch me. I was just off
to the hospital to see Julie.

I expect you heard what happened. She
was attacked.

Treadful business.

And up there, the local plot do seem to
be...

Dragging their heels over it.

I wonder what your father would say to
you if you were alive today.

My father?

Any man who raises his hand to a woman
is certainly not a gentleman.

Chance, I don't know what kind of
village gossip you've been... And then

about it, to terrorise into silence. You
are the worst kind of coward.

Your father would be disgusted with you.

It's not true. I only... You only what?

You're still not man enough to face the
truth, are you?

I want nothing more to do with you.

And if any of my friends or
acquaintances ask me why, I shall tell

the kind of man you are.

Never seen such a ruddy fella around
just to catch a couple of kids.

I think we're in business.

Right.

Hey!

I'm all dinky, you know!

Right!

Names and addresses!

And don't party about your business
either!

You two are in deep trouble!

I think we'll go home and see your
mother.

Come on, girl.

Shut up.

How are

you

feeling?

Everything hurts.

I don't know what would have happened if
you and Carol hadn't come along.

We just want to help, Julie.

But without a statement... No, I can't.

You don't understand.

Then explain to me.

He'll take Charlie.

I'll never see my son again.

Well, then you get yourself a solicitor
and you go to court. Court?

Simon knows half the judges in the
county.

He's a very rich man. He'll hire himself
one of the best lawyers that money can

buy.

Once they've finished with me, nobody
will even believe that I'm fit to take

care of my own son.

I think you're wrong.

You tell the truth about what he's done
to you. That, backed with medical

reports, the court will look at the
evidence.

Well, I wish I could believe you.

What's it going to be like for Charlie?

Growing up, knowing his father beats his
mother.

He'd never talk to Charlie.

Maybe not now he's a baby, but...

Kids growing up can be very annoying.

What happens when Simon's anger turns on
his own boy?

How will he protect him?

I don't know.

Isn't this cozy?

Sign this.

What is it? I've talked to the doctor.
You're discharging yourself. We're going

back to London.

London? When?

Now, today.

I've had enough of this godforsaken
placement. Selling up.

Fine the form, Julie.

I don't want to propose. Look, I don't
intend to argue with you. But do as

you're told.

No.

What do you mean, no?

I want to stay in Etonfield.

Either you sign this and come with us
now, or I'm walking out of this hospital

and taking Charlie to London with me.

No. I'm not going to be your punch bag
anymore.

If you want me to make the statement, I
will.

And then I'm going to divorce you.

You'll never see Charlie again.

You know that.

When what you've done comes out in
court, none of your connections will be

to stop Julie from getting custody of
the baby.

Would you listen to him?

PC Plod? What does he know?

He's a nobody.

He doesn't know a clue.

I know this much. You're under arrest.

You want to resist, Simon?

I wish you would.

She's made a full statement.

Hear the people pull magistrates in the
morning.

Oh, well, that's something.

Won't be easy forever.

It makes you really appreciate what
you've got. I know where to live now.

And I said to the man, if there are any
more gates open, then you'll be hearing

from me. That's the thing about being a
copper, Jeff. You can't always give up

and walk away.

Sometimes you have to go the extra mile.

Indeed you do.

Ah, the man from the BBC.

My dad, he's dying.

I'm a researcher on Down Your Way.

Oh, Dr Lansbury.

Theo Lansbury. The young man in
Eltering. Put himself up to the

not properly trained or registered.

What if you get something wrong?

I've just buried my dog.

I don't know what you're on about.

You poisoned him, you...
