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

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

Lads, it won't take a minute. Mrs
Armstrong, we're on duty.

We've got to try out this new radar
equipment.

Sergeant Miller's been going on and on
about it.

It's only an upright.

And you'll get to meet them new people.

Mr and Mrs Fawcett.

I tell you what, he's rolling in it.

Absolutely rolling.

And wait till you get a look at her.

Our David's eyes were on stocks.

Well, in that case...

Lovey -dovey, lovey -dovey, lovey
-dovey, lovey -dovey, lovey -dovey,

-dovey, lovey -dovey, lovey -dovey,
lovey

-dovey, lovey

-dovey. Some folk leave stuff behind

for folk moving in to get rid of. No
consideration at all.

Yes. Well, let's just ease it to the
door, shall we?

Right.

Hello there.

Out of the way, darling.

Now then, that'll be a fine, sir, to
cover the cost of disposal.

And don't forget, if you need any other
jobs doing, you know where to find them.

Indeed I do.

Marvellous, thanks so much.

You must be the local policeman.

That's right, Joe Mason.

And this is Jeff Younger. Joe Mason.

Well, do pop round sometime, Joe.

I want to know all about Aidensfield.

Right. Well, thanks again for your help.

Come along in, Angela. You'll catch your
death.

Right, so Peggy's going to do the case.

Yeah. We don't leave it here in case he
finds it. And you've done the shopping

list? Yes, look.

Me and Jack are going to go and get a
bit... I think your auntie Peggy's

David. Nobody wants the piano any more.

You can't give them away these days.

Yeah, but chuck it up for firewood,
though.

No -one learns any more, that's why.

Not like in our day, Oscar.

Miss Gordon, that was the name of my
teacher. She used to whack me over the

knuckles with a ruler.

Still got the scars.

It was horrible.

I loved it.

Well, I did.

Took exams.

Grades, they were called. I got married
to one of them.

Wanted to go on.

But Dad said there was no necessity for
me to play the minute waltz if I were

going to be working in a garage.

I don't suppose you'd come round and
have a look at our piano, would you, Mr

Scripps? I mean, just to give an
opinion, like. An opinion on what?

Um, nothing.

Evening, all.

Oh, good day.

Don't ask.

Milla's got this new gadget for trapping
speeding motorists.

I'll never catch on.

Oh, hello again.

Joe, I was hoping I'd see you here.

Really? Oh, Carol and Gina, this is
Angela Fawcett.

Edgar, you remember Joe from this
afternoon, don't you?

Yes, hello again.

No good, darling, too late to eat here.

Let's go, shall we?

She's a box of tricks, isn't she?

Sorry, what was that?

What do you think, then?

Well, I've had a look and it's quite a
nice case.

It's not too badly out of tune.

It's like Oscar and Alf said last night,
David. Nobody really wants these

anymore.

Sad, really.

Hang on.

Sit down. See if you can remember any
tunes.

I've never seen scripts. You're
brilliant.

Not really. Anybody can play if they've
had lessons.

Why, even me?

Yeah, you'd probably be very good.

Thanks. Why?

Well, you're musical, aren't you?

Do you think we'll be able to get this
into the house?

Well, we could try.

All the two are coming through now,
Jeff.

Estimated speed at 45 miles an hour.

Jeff? Are you there?

Jeff! Hey, pussy.

Hey.

Come on, give it a bit of welly.

Joe's going to kill me.

Come on, can't we just finish your four
-arm pancakes back?

Come on, one last go.

That's it.

Well, don't look at me.

It wasn't my idea.

I was just standing by the road doing
speed traps when David asked me to help

him get it in here. Well, then, you can
help him get it out again, can't you?

I think I'm in enough trouble as it is,
thank you.

Bye, everybody.

Peggy. I'm sorry, but I am not having
this thing in my house.

Well, actually, this is my house, and
I'm not going to let you chop this up.

I'm going to learn to play it.

What?

You know, for Mr. Blaketon's birthday.

What? He wants to play Happy Birthday.

I'm surprised.

On the pub piano.

I can do it, Peggy, I know I can.

Mrs. Goop says I'm very musical.

Give me strength.

Joe, your phone's been ringing and
ringing until in the end I answered it.

been standing out there like a lemon for
half an hour.

Not that we'll catch anyone. Everyone
knows we're there by now. They're all

doing ten miles an hour.

Apart from that faucet bloke, he would
definitely be there.

You know, it was odd.

His wife saw me. She was waving at him,
trying to get him to stop, but he just

drove on.

Well, that's probably why he just
called.

Oh? She wants you to go and see her
straight away.

Oh, right.

Gosh, we are in a rush.

Well, you said straight away.

It could be urgent.

Curtains?

You want me to recommend someone to make
some curtains? Yes, please. And an

upholsterer and someone to lay the
carpet. Oh, and very important, the name

the grocer who delivers.

I see.

Was this what was so important?

Well, yes. I thought if you were the
village policeman, you'd be bound to

Oh, dear.

Am I being the most terrible nuisance?

Not interrupting, am I?

Not at all. We were just talking about
curtains.

The things a rural Bobby has to do, eh?

Well, thanks for coming round, but we
mustn't take up any more of your time.

Oh, and in future, there's no need to
involve yourself in our domestic

But Edgar was around.

I need your help, Joe.

I think my life's in danger.

Angela!

Just thanking him, darling.

Gina? Yeah?

You shouldn't be moving furniture.
You're having a baby and... Do we?

I've got to. There's no room for the
cot. Gina, the cot is going in the

room. Well, I've changed my mind.

I want the baby in here with me now, so
I've got to move things around.

What's going on up here?

I think Gina's getting what you call the
nesting instinct.

Give us a hand, Oscar.

But... Help me, my life's in danger.

That's what she said.

She's just being dramatic.

I don't think so.

Jo, she's a young woman with no job or
kids and a rich husband.

She's got too much time on her hands.
Look, all I'm asking is that you go

there and see what you think.

Please.

Hi, Carol Cassidy. We met briefly in the
pub the other night. I just thought I'd

call around... I'm sorry, I'm very busy.

Actually, Joe Mason asked me to call.

He said he needed help.

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

Whatever goes on between me and Joe, it
certainly doesn't concern you.

Who was that?

No one.

Well, it can hardly have been no one,
can it?

All right.

It was that policeman fellow again.

But I managed to get rid of him.

What? Darling, he's gone.

Did you see your Angela Fawcett
yesterday?

And? She said she didn't know what I was
talking about.

Denied she'd ever asked for help and
most certainly did not want to talk to

And implied there was something going on
between you and her.

Like I said before, she's a bored woman
without enough to do.

Her husband's out all day and she's
looked around and found herself a nice

policeman to amuse herself with.

If you've got any sense, you'll steer
well to see her.

What was all that about?

Didn't we see that new chap driving past
a few minutes ago?

Yeah, in his Elvis.

And he hasn't been back this week since?

No.

Right, well, you start laying out the
cables.

I'll be back in ten minutes.

It's no good, Mr Scripps. All these
flipping black dots and white dots.

Things look like tadpoles on telegraph
wires. I can't do it because I'm just

stupid. Oh, dear.

Peggy said you were getting in a bit of
a state.

Of course I'm in a state.

How am I meant to be able to play Happy
Birthday when I can't even manage Kitty

on the keys?

Here, tell you what.

Have you got a pencil?

Right. Now, look, forget crotchets and
quavers and all that.

We're going to do happy birthday by
numbers.

And by Saturday, you'll be perfect.

Let's see.

One, two, three, four.

Conducting to find me in, Constable?

Not at all.

It's you I came to see.

Oh, yes?

We're conducting speed checks through
the village, and you've been seen

over the speed limit.

We're not going to do anything about it
this time, but I thought that I ought to

warn you. You have to slow down a bit.
I'll try to remember, Constable. Oh, and

if you came round to have a little word
with my wife about, say, curtains or

something, she's out.

What's going on?

Nothing. Why does he keep coming around?
I don't know.

Joe, you're lying to me.

I don't know.

Where are you going?

Edgar!

I don't like to get one of your men into
trouble, but I'm afraid I'm going to

have to.

One of my men?

Mason, I think his name is. The Scottish
fellow.

I'm sorry to say.

He's been making a nuisance of himself
with my wife.

And you may well look astonished, but
it's hardly surprising. She's a very

beautiful woman.

How do you mean, making a nuisance of
himself?

Do I really have to go into it?

Unprofessional behaviour for a
policeman. Let's just leave it at that,

especially when it concerns a married
woman.

The trouble is, it's the last thing she
needs right now.

She's recently had a mental breakdown.

What did Mr Fawcett say?

That you've been pestering his wife.

I repeat the question.

Is there any truth in it?

No. There is nothing going on between
you and her?

Not if you don't include discussing some
curtains and some carpets.

Don't be funny.

I'm sorry.

Look, I am concerned about her and her
husband.

She's frightened.

She thinks that he might try and kill
her.

Yes, well, I shouldn't take too much
notice of that. She's had a nervous

breakdown. What?

Well, that's why they're here.

To help her get better.

Well, so I just ignore it, do I?

Ignore her plea for help?

Yes, and that's an order.

A complaint has been made, and whether
there's any truth in it or not is

immaterial.

Any further contact with the couple will
only lead to trouble.

Bye, darling.

See you this evening.

And thanks for sorting everything out.

My pleasure.

Love you.

And I love you too.

I hardly got a wink of sleep last night,
but with him practising and D for

creating, he'll never do it, Bernie. Not
in a million years. You've got to

persuade him to drop it. Come on, he's
set his heart on it.

Well, whatever happens, after the party,
that piano's going on the fire.

All right, seems a shame, though,
considering what it might be worth.

Oh?

Oh, you will not be interested, not if
you're going to chop it up.

I thought you said them pianos was worth
note.

Well, now that I've got to know yours a
bit better, I think it might be an

exception. How much is it worth, then?

Who knows?

A hundred pound?

I knew it.

I knew it were a valuable antique.

You're the only person I can turn to,
Joe.

I'm just so frightened, so, so
frightened.

I'm shaking. Fill my hands.

Hey, calm down.

Tell me why you're so frightened.

My husband, of course.

I can't make him see reason. I've tried
and tried, but... Go on.

He's convinced himself I'm having an
affair.

Again. Just like he did in our last
place.

I told him I'm not, but it's no good.

He's just so jealous.

Every time I make a phone call, he's
suspicious. Every time I go out.

And Joe, because you're a policeman.

I want to tell you something very
important.

If ever I should go missing, expect the
worst.

Look for my body.

He will have killed me.

Oh, sorry.

It's all right.

I've got to get going.

Edgar's ringing when he gets to the
office.

Remember what I said.

I meant it.

Sorry to burst in on you. Luke.

It's all right. I can see what's going
on.

Don't be silly.

Let go of me, please.

She only came here because she's
frightened.

Joe, how could he be taken in by her?

Get in.

Now!

Can't you see it? She's an unstable,
highly manipulative woman. Do you know

something? I think you're jealous.

I most certainly am not.

Oh, and she's left her coat behind. On
purpose, no doubt.

Taking it back, Jo?

Good idea.

Just what the lady wants.

Laurie, I'm sorry. Please, don't be
angry.

I thought you'd gone to work.

Well, you thought wrong, didn't you?

I stayed out of sight so as to see what
you were up to. And now I know.

At it again, aren't you?

No! And this time with the village
policeman. Oh, dear, oh, dear, Angela.

you find somebody better than that?

You're hurting me. Let go, please. Let
go.

I'm so sorry.

Please, please don't do this to me,
Angela. Please.

You're breaking my heart.

Someone take these chains away and set
me free.

Chains, chains of love alone will be the
death of me.

Why don't you set me free and let me be
what I want to be?

That is, I want to be free.

I want to be free.

Change the world.

Change.

Where is she?

Hold on a minute.

Angela!

What happened?

Tell me what happened.

She's gone, hasn't she? My wife's gone.

What? As I'm sure you know all too well.
You don't fool me, Mason.

I know what's going on. Stop it. Calm
down.

I knew it.

So where are you hiding her?

I've had enough. Come here.

I suggest that you report your wife's
disappearance directly to my sergeant.

And she definitely didn't leave a note.
No, and she would never go off on her

own, never. Someone must have helped
her, and that someone was him. Let's

to the facts, shall we?

She left sometime during the night. A
suitcase and some clothes are missing.

Yes, and her coat was in his office.
They're in it together, I'm telling you.

Sir, I appreciate how upsetting this
might be for you, but let's be sensible,

shall we?

If Constable Mason had any idea of where
she was, he'd tell us. I don't know

where she's gone, Mr Fawcett, believe
me.

If she took the trouble to pack her
suitcase, we must have planned to go. In

which case, there's nothing we can do.

What?

She is an adult, Mr Fawcett. It's a free
country.

It's not a police matter, I'm afraid.

You're saying you won't help me? I'm
sorry, I can't.

So what am I supposed to do?

Go home and wait until she gets in touch
with you.

In the meantime, we have all her
details.

And if we hear anything, we'll let you
know straight away, of course.

What a comfort that is. Thank you so
much.

I'll be watching you.

What did I tell you the other day about
interfering between husband and wife? It

only leads to trouble.

I didn't interfere. She asked for my
help. And now she's gone and you've got

blame. Actually, Sergeant, she did say
something quite important.

Yes? She said that if she ever went
missing, that we should look for a body,

because she'd be dead.

The woman is unbalanced, Mason, and
she's sucking you in.

Now, I want you to go back to that speed
survey.

Younger's waiting for you. And I want
the report on my death this afternoon.

Mason!

Ah, well, thanks, Dawn.

Look, I know it's not much, Oscar, but
happy birthday all the same.

Yeah, me too.

I'm sorry there's no present or
anything.

Ah, that's all right.

Birthdays don't mean much.

Not when you get to my age.

Oh, no, we have arranged something for
you, Oscar.

Yeah? Bernie's going to take you out for
tea?

In Scarborough.

Oh, that's very kind of him, but I think
I'd rather... No, no, no, you've got to

go. It's all been fixed by you. Yeah,
it's their little treat.

Well, I think I'll just put these on the
mantelpiece.

Scarborough.

Police House Aidensfield.

Angela?

Where are you?

In a hotel.

I've left him, Joe. I need to see you.

Which hotel are you in?

Swear you won't tell anyone.

Joe, it's a matter of life and death.

Okay.

The Crown Hotel.

A's will be.

I'm on my way.

It's me.

I got a little girl who's on my mind. No
doubt about it, she looks so fine.

She's the best girl that I ever had.

So that's gonna make me feel so bad.

I thought

I heard her calling me now.

She broke my heart, but love, it just
ain't enough.

I need your lovin'

Mason? No, no, no, no, no.

I've fixed up cover so we can all go to
Oscar Blaketon's do.

We need to put in a strong appearance. I
thought you were supposed to be doing

that speed survey.

Yes, Sergeant, but, um... I couldn't
find Joe.

I beg your pardon?

He didn't turn up. Didn't turn up?

Where is he then? I don't know.

I've looked everywhere.

There's no sign of him or his bike.

Alf, find out what he's playing at,
would you? Yes, Alf.

We'll let you know. I was just calling
you.

Come to collect the piano, mate.

What?

The piano for Harrogate.

The sale rooms.

Still nothing.

Well, maybe his radio's on the blink.

Control to Delta Alpha 2 -4.

Over.

I need to speak to you.

In private.

You've got to come through.

I think I've killed someone.

Your wife?

No.

Constable Mason.

You see, Angela called me and said Mason
was on his way over to her.

He's obsessed with her.

She begged me to try and stop him, so
when I saw him on his bike, I just saw

red. I think it's here.

I think...

Quickly! It was an accident and let
me... Come on, Bernie!

Let's fight, Sergeant.

Right, have fun, you two.

Come along, Oscar.

All the way to Scarborough, get her a
cup of tea. Is this a good idea, Bernie?

It's your birthday. Come on, live a
little.

What in the hurt? Go on.

Oakley. Yeah.

Right, come on, you lot. We've got till
seven o 'clock.

There it is. Look.

Look again.

Now what?

We've got to be back in Harrogate
tonight.

It's not as if it's there.

How did we get here?

Farmer found him and phoned the
ambulance. He's in there. He's really

Well, he was unconscious for quite a
while, so he'll need to be watched. But

apart from that, yeah, just cuts and
bruises. In fact, I'm having trouble

stopping him discharging himself.

I'm sorry about all this, Sergeant.

Ow!

Steady now.

You all right, lad?

You had us worried.

You said your wife had some sort of
nervous breakdown.

She didn't. I made that up.

She had an affair.

I've been through it once, so I couldn't
bear the thought of her leaving me

again. I just couldn't bear it.

Well, it's not for us to comment on the
state of your marriage, but I take it

this previous affair was resolved?

Yes, but she doesn't love me.

She loves what I can give her.

Money.

So we come back to the question of why
she's done all this.

I don't know.

Mr Fawcett, you are facing very serious
charges relating to the assault on PC

Mason, which could result in a custodial
sentence.

What will she do then, Mr Fawcett?

She'll divorce me.

And that'll make her a very rich woman.

No, at last.

I'd almost given you up.

Why's he here?

We need to ask you a few questions.

But you swore not to tell anyone.

Yes, I did.

But then I found out you'd phoned your
husband and tipped him off.

Sorry. That's why he followed me, isn't
it?

You told Edgar I was coming to see you.

He knows that you only did it to get a
favourable divorce settlement. Well, he

would say that, wouldn't he?

He'd be terrified I might get some of
his precious money.

Is that what this is all about, Angela?

Is that why you kept trying to see me?

To make him jealous, to provoke him into
doing something he'd regret. Oh, you've

got a vivid imagination.

What, darling? What's going on?

Ah.

Now it makes sense.

So where's Angela now?

Off with her lover, organising her
divorce.

Telling her lawyers about Edgar's
violent behaviour.

Hoping to get half his money as a
result.

Very crafty. She'll get it, too.

Oh, well.

I won't say I told you so.

No. Ow.

I think you just have.

I'm just going to speak to Peggy.

Peggy, how did the piano go?

What? The men asked me where your place
was, so I told them. You know the men to

take the piano to Harrogate's and sales
rooms?

Good job you didn't burn it. You'd have
been in trouble.

Are you all right?

Well, I watched and you told me that.

Come in. Come in. Shh.

Surprise!

So this is what the trip to Scarborough
was all about, eh, Bernie?

Well,

what can I say? It's a... It's a great
surprise. Thank you all. Thank you all

very much.

Happy birthday, Oscar.

Happy birthday, Mr... Cheers.

Oh,

Carol.

It's these Braxtonick things.

Been having them all day.

I think we'd better get you upstairs.

No, look, I'm all right.

Now.

Hungry, Peggy.

I'm angry.

Somebody's pinched my piano.

Wasn't yours in the first place.

Can I have a word?

I was paid to get rid of it, Alf, and
I've taken a lot of trouble looking

it. I reckon that makes it mine.

But you're not taking her in. I don't.
She's too far gone.

What's up?

Do you mind? It's a private
conversation.

Do you mean she's having the baby here?

Oscar, there's no choice.

She's well and away, and the second
baby's going to come really quickly.

I see.

Well, is there anything I can do?

Yes. Don't worry. It's all going to be
fine.

I'll just have a word with Chris.

Is it Gina?

Oh, Oscar, she's not for this.

Don't leave me alone, will you?

She's in the late first stage already.

And six centimetres dilated.

Good Lord.

How did she manage to get that far
without telling anyone?

She thought it was a false alarm.

Right. Shall I go now, or...? No, no.
I'll give you a call when we need you.

She's never in labour, is she? Please
don't say anything.

No. When's she off to hospital?

She isn't.

She's having it here, but not a word.
She doesn't want to spoil the party.

I'll get my kit.

Tina's in labour!

What? Really?

Upstairs! What?

Miss Gina, she's having the baby. In the
pub?

No! Sure, she doesn't want anybody to
know about it.

Right,

let's get you on the bed.

I'm not moving. I'll help you. Oh, no,
leave me alone.

Would you like Chris to come up? No.

No, I don't want anyone.

Oh, I'm sick of this, Carol.

I've put a hottie in it wrapped in a
blanket. Good girl.

Happy birthday, Oscar.

Oh, well, thanks.

Many happy returns.

Don't go wasting our customers.

Thanks very much.

Oh, he's a bit preoccupied.

Gina's having her baby upstairs.

Steady on, steady on, Oscar. It's a
natural process.

I mean, one's born every minute, you
know. And I think that's just the

All right, everyone, gather round.

Oscar's going to open his present. Hope
you've all got your sunglasses ready.

Oscar, here you are.

This comes to you from all your friends
at the Aidensfield Arms. Well, that's

very kind of you.

No idea what this is.

Oh, thanks, Bernie.

And... Chosen by dawn.

What a colour.

Come on, speech.

Speech!

Tina wants a show in the baby.

Come on, Oscar.

Come on.

Say hello to them.

Sorry you missed the fun. It all
happened so quickly. That's all right.

delighted for her. Oh, she's so
thrilled, Chris.

I don't know, Karen.

Where did we ever stop seeing each
other?

You were right after all, Oscar.

Everything's just fine.

He's like his dad, isn't he?

Well, Oscar, meet Philip Oscar Bellamy.

Philip Oscar Bellamy.

I'm sorry if we spoilt your birthday.

Welcome to Aidensfield, little man.

Hello there.

Sergeant Dawson.

I heard you ended up in hospital.

Just to check you're still in one piece.

It was nothing serious.

Just cut some bruises.

You know, you should take a bit more
care of yourself, Joe.

I should do a lot of things.

Sorry to interrupt.

Fawcett's lawyers trying to get him
bailed, making a fuss, claiming the

thing was an accident.

But with your evidence and his
confession, it won't come to anything.

Yeah, I'm sure it won't.

Could you excuse me a sec?

What's up?

Nothing.

Is Chris gone?

Yeah. Why?

Well, if you must know, he suggested we
started seeing each other again.

Oh.

When did you see?

No, of course.

One thing, they're over, they're over,
aren't they?

Don't look so pleased.

I know he's never been your favourite
person.

There's a reason for that.

He's coming, he's coming.

Papi.

Come on, let's get you home. I love you,
Don.

Yes, Jesse, keep saying it. I love you,
Don. I love you.

That's it, Peg.

Come on.

One foot in front of the other.

Thanks, Oscar.

Great party. Right, glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah, really great.

Good night. Good night.

Night and day, you are the ones.

Here

you

are.

Well, night.

By the way, I was jealous too.

Of Angela, like you said.

I see.

So if you were jealous of Angela and I
was jealous of Chris, what does all that

mean?

You tell me.

Dragging my soul to a beautiful...
