Shh. Listen.

What's that, George?

Oh, poor love.

Come on, boy, come on.

Let's have you out of there.

Let's get out of here. I think the cage is locked.

Sid, get the police in here quick.

Dog?

Don't tell me something.

It's missing from a vivisection laboratory in Berkshire.

Good.

Suspected of having rebus.

Oh, my God.

Some bloody lunatic's broken in. They freed the other animals, taken the dog

with them. What?

Search me. What's he got to do with that? Berkshire's got to be 10th Valley.

The security guard on the main gate caught a glimpse of a number plate.

Now, the car's turned up abandoned on our ground this morning. Also turns out

be Nick from our patch in the first place.

So what does it suggest to you?

Amateurs.

Animal livers. Some of them somewhere on our patch.

Anything else? Well, the car's back here. In fact, the dog's back here as

What breed is it? Do we know what it looks like?

It's a mongrel.

Rabies. It could infect every animal in the city. You get bitten by a rabid

animal, you die. There's no two ways about it. Look, Bill, we've got to

the press. We've got to get this onto television, the radio. These people have

got to be warned.

Supposing they don't believe us, refuse to contact us. Worse still, just aim the

animal up.

Had widespread panic. Every dog on the streets would be suspect. No.

Approach these people quietly.

No fuss, no publicity, but quick.

It's all down to you and Jack's sleep.

It played his day off.

It was his day off. You get all the back up you need.

Now I need a tranquilizer.

Where do you want to, Pete? I just had a whisper, ma 'am, about a fan load of

CDs. Yes, we can wait. You're looking for a dog. Come on.

You hear what she said, old son?

Discover your true potential at last.

You can stop feeding your face, Jake. You'll be looking with him. So many as

many of the rest of you as I may need. Details any minute, Pete.

The rest of you.

You've heard of rabies?

Rabies?

It's true.

Right, now, the first thing... Is to get fingerprints and forensics onto the

abandoned car.

Yes, and the second thing is to get as many as can be spared off their

and onto the streets with a description of that dog. Now, the third thing... Is

to warn all reliefs to watch out for signs of morbidity in any strays they

pick up. Signs of what?

Illness, unnatural behaviour. Well, then why didn't you say so?

This is an emergency, Sergeant. Simple word, less time. Have you got it? Yeah,

got it, ma 'am.

Inductibly.

Jake? Not a lot so far.

Think of Prince Arthur in dabs until they run through their magic box.

Besides, odds are, if they're amateurs, their prints won't be on file anyway.

Forensics have dropped on something funny, though. Oi, Max!

Giddy Inspector, a desk here at the Dewberry.

What is it?

Don't you dare know. It could be anything. Who knows? We'll get it back

lab. Look, Mac will be a while here yet, so get someone to take it over there

straight away, OK? Will do.

Parts in a hurry, I'd say.

Careless. Yeah, and noisy.

Well, somebody may have heard something. Now I'm door to door.

Anyone who heard anything or better still saw.

And we'll need more men on the ground. Oh, I'll find them.

Well, is that all?

You're a sharp bird. That is a couple of hours. A couple of hours? That's time

enough for half the manor to be foaming at the mouth.

Well, I'm keeping cool. I'm getting flack from upstairs. I'm just passing it

down the line, OK? I'm sorry to interrupt. Can I say important for

keep me up to date.

How's the house? Late news.

Well, so tell me.

Seems the woman had a crash.

Just been going over? Yeah, about 3 a .m.

Looked out, saw the car.

Some was herring off down the street. But she saw two other geezers get out

back. Descriptions?

They think they're wearing anoraks with their hoods up. One of them was carrying

what looked like, and I quote, a bundle. That's promising.

One other detail.

The other one, and again I quote, looked a bit bronze.

Bronze? Oh.

Male or female?

Well, dressed in those tents, who knows?

Thanks. There's not much to go on but... Oh, is Slater in yet? About ten minutes

ago. He's a bit cheesed about being raked out of his pits on his day off.

Tibetan terrier.

It's a shaggy sort of ginger mongrel.

None of your business why you want to find him. I do have a lunch date with

Mike, but I'll ring and put him off.

Oh, cheese and pickle, thanks.

My treat. Why you?

Look, Rowley, I know you're into dog snatching, and you know I know, so you

cut out all this straight -up dog crap. You get a whisper, you phone this Nick.

No rag.

A long shot. Can I hear you right?

What? About dog snatching.

It goes on. What, an hour patch?

Sure. What for?

You really want to know? Yeah.

Stray animals, rounded up and sold to laboratories.

Sometimes they don't wait for them to stray. They nick domestic pets, cats,

dogs. Some of them sold to the fashion trade for the skins.

Sheared and dyed.

Fun fur.

Fun fur?

There's always a demand for dog skins from the confidence. What for?

Gloves. Oh, my God, how horrible.

Mostly they just pick up the strays. All those cute Christmas puppies that

people got tired of by Easter.

All that walking and brushing and hard pads. To say nothing of the cost of dog

food. And times are hard.

Vicious. Let's hear it for the good old microchip. Get a print from the car.

Computer's come up with a match. Oh, baby, then. Look at that.

All descended from wolves, you know. What?

Doggies.

Well, at least I know now how you get your kicks. Oh, yeah?

How's that, then, Mag? Gassing badgers.

Right.

Young brave from around Fritz Street. He likes motors. Been done for taking them

on test runs. Name of Leonard Muldoon. Address?

Out there. All right. Go around in it. If you didn't pick him up, get back here

as soon as you can. Thanks, Dave. Oh, how much shall I tell him?

Not a lot. Keep it ominous. Oh,

Pete, any sign of the doctor from the morgue? Oh, yeah. Thames Valley are

bringing him over in a fast car. Dr. Davis.

Thanks, Frank.

Sorry.

What's going on?

Oh, thanks, Dave.

Can you tell me the hospital?

Evans and Cooper.

Health authority contact the casualty department.

Anything like a dog fight will be reported.

No message. Oh.

Good. Now, listen, I want the descriptions of those two suspects

It's a bit vague, but we might just get lucky.

Right. Right.

I want a bit of hush.

As of now, this is an incident room.

Now, the description of the dog has been circulated to helmets throughout the

London area for the last couple of hours, so we should be getting a rash of

possible sightings any minute now.

Now, X, marks and spots.

where the stolen car was found abandoned.

All right, all right, I'm coming, all right. Please, please, please, please,

Rob. Get in, ratbag.

What is all this? What's it about? It's about nicking motors, Lenny, and about

resisting arrest, and about me being very angry because you've just ruined my

best jacket with your disgusting habits, Lenny. Now, get in.

Glove? That's right.

Lenny's favourite inhalant.

There he was, snorting adhesive. I arrived, he goes to make a run for it,

blap, all over me best jacket.

So put in a cleaning bill.

What do you reckon?

Yeah, well, he nicked the motor all right, but somehow I don't pick him for

animals.

You know, Lenny, one day you're going to stick your nostrils together, then what

are you going to do?

He'll have to breathe through his mouth, which is what he does anyway.

Been up to our little peccadillos again, haven't we, Lenny? You what?

Taking a car and driving around in it.

Who said so?

All those little ridges at the end of your fingers.

That's what says so, Mardu.

They leave marks that we call fingerprints, and you slop yours all

that didn't belong to you, and we found them. You couldn't have. I've wiped them

all off.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Look, little really does get to them, doesn't it?

Gums up the brain cells. That is, if they're any there to be seen with.

Listen, you... It's all in your record, Lenny.

You're becoming what judges call a minister car owners.

There's been a little cooperation with you on this one, and they could just be

more lenient with you. What do you think, Sergeant?

Well, that's up to you, Lenny, isn't it?

Oh, you're off?

Yes, I am.

Anything? Well, there's several startlings. It's all done.

Any more eyewitnesses?

Oh, we're still pushing. And we've ordered a suspect for driving a motor.

Maggie's handling him.

Dr. Davis?

Car radioed in. She'll be here any minute.

I'm showing her to my office, yeah? Right, Dr. Davis. Any, uh, father from

Pratt? Not so far, no.

Hope it's not going to come to denotices, but, um, DHC's talking after

Excuse me.

No. Seven dials, CID.

No. No.

No. No.

No. What do you want from me?

A cough.

What's a cough?

All right.

I borrowed a motor.

I had a little scoot out to see my bird in Croydon. Big deal.

Her name?

Address?

Forgot it. All right.

All right, let's start again.

You took the car.

You didn't go and see your girlfriend, so where did you go?

I just rolled around a manor, didn't I?

What if I told you that we knew you were in Berkshire?

I can't stay in the country. Grass and that. You were in Berkshire. You broke

into a laboratory. You stole a dog.

Oh, yeah?

Is that what I'm here for? Stealing a dog?

We're talking about a dog who may have rabies.

Oh, you have one. It's got bells on.

Try and make yourself some sense for your face.

Jack. What's up?

I'm trying to find a sweet and sour routine downstairs.

Tough customer.

I get to play sweet for a change.

Barrett.

Oh, good.

So much time, huh?

When was this?

Now, who informed you?

This casualty officer, he got a name.

All right, I'll get someone right away.

Bye.

Dr. Davis, go.

Morning. How's it, officer? Name of Baines, Hampstead General. Just reported

woman with an animal bite. Get some on it straight away. But you took your

I got here as soon as I could.

How bad is it?

Well, it could be a major disaster.

Now, you listen to me, spotty.

Nine's Mount Dirt. I said listen to me, you spotty creep.

People are going to die because of you, and that affects my adrenaline.

So unless you come up with something, and fast, I'm going to bounce you

that wall until your spots drop off.

Now, we can put you in the car. We found hairs in the car that came from the

stolen dog.

Now, who was in the car with you, and where's the dog?

You know, you're really good with your funny, imaginative life. Shut it! All

right, Jack, I'll handle it. Let me talk to him.

You want to get rid of him? He's out of the flow.

Well, then I wouldn't aggravate him if I were you, Lenny.

Look, Lenny, the fact is we need your help.

That dog you took... What dog?

I mean, you've just fooled around for now, haven't you? It's just been a

nuisance.

But this time you've done something really dangerous. So why did you do it,

Lenny?

I mean, you're fond of animals, is that it?

You don't like what they do to them in those places?

What places?

I want to see a lawyer.

Dr Davies, we're the government. All right.

Here, I'm not staying on my job with him.

Jake, hold his hand, will you?

There's something she doesn't know.

He's worse than I am.

The least you could have done after infecting the animal was to keep it

Now, just a minute. What happened to the other animals, the ones that were set

free? They were perfectly healthy. We found most of them still in the ground.

And they weren't in contact with the rabbit animal? No. Are you quite sure of

that? Quite.

The dog was part of a controlled experiment, and I did not infect the

then how did it get rabies? We don't have it here.

Not yet, no.

So? Maggie, look, if you'd just let the dog... Thank you, Mr Russell.

But I'm quite used to hostility in my work.

So far, I've had dogs' mess shoved through my letterbox, and my son beaten

his classmates at school.

And some of your chaps had to deal with the letterbox which was sent to my wife.

Animals are an emotive issue. I understand that.

Inspector, the dog was smuggled into this country by an irresponsible tourist

the boot of his car.

The man was caught, fined, and the dog was put into quarantine. Where's this

now? He went back to Liège.

Now, the dog started to display certain symptoms, so it was sent to our

laboratory for us to keep an eye on. Not to put it out of his misery. It was too

good an opportunity to miss.

I see you consider that somewhat callous.

Look.

A colleague of mine specialises in the treatment of virus diseases.

Some time ago, he had to monitor a patient in the last hours. The man was

of rabies.

I have a tape of the man's final hours.

Suffice it to say, rabies is one of the most terrifying diseases known to

medicine. It's a virus which is passed on to humans, when the saliva from an

infected animal get in through an open wound. Now, usually the wound is caused

by the animal's bite, but any cut or sore, or even breaking of the skin, is

sufficient to let in the deadly virus.

Even a lick can be fatal.

Once the disease reaches the brain, the effects are horrific.

Titanic convulsions, muscle spasms.

Lunatic ravings, rage, and there develops in the patient an insane yet

instinctive fear of water, so great that even the sight of a glass of it will

trigger screams of terror.

Eventually, the patient becomes convinced that he is drowning in his own

All right, Doctor. I think you've made a point.

Very well.

Jeff, come on in, Doctor.

Honest to God, I don't know what all this is about.

But if it's to do with like that, look, I cough.

But I warn you, it ain't much.

All right, then, Ethan.

On song.

What I don't see is why anybody would be such a downfall as to want to nick a

mad dog.

Rabid, foaming at the mouth. Ah, but that's just it, you see.

It wasn't foaming at the mouth.

Infected animals go through a period of quiescence.

Often they're more docile and friendly than usual, and that's when they're at

their most critical, just before they explode.

Oh, I was in this boozer, coming on quite strong with these two choice

They was, well, you know the type, like they left their horses outside.

Some birds like that just come and have a butcher's at the other half, you know

what I mean?

Get on with it.

Well, they seem to know about me.

Know?

About my funny little itch for motors, innit? How would they know about that?

Well, they'd been listening, hadn't they? Picking up the travel about me.

I might have known the thing about me from myself.

Oh.

So, after all the cum on and the bunny, it was down to this.

Would I drive them down to this place near Reading?

They'd heard about this laboratory where they torture animals and they wanted to

do something about it.

So would I be their will for 50 quid? And you obliged?

Of course I did. 70 quid for doing something I'd do for a gig anyway.

But you said it was 50.

Up the ante, didn't I?

Yeah, you would. And?

Walsh saw a nice little estate car, picked him up at Cambridge Circus, as

agreed, wheeled him out to the country.

and waited in the woods while they did their stuff.

20 minutes later, they'd come back with this old necklace after them, with this

pooch they'd swiped.

So I drove them back to the smoke, dumped the car on the side street, and

were all in home, them with the dog and me with something in ready.

So you never did actually see where they lived?

Ask me, they took very good care of us, shouldn't they?

When they left the car, did you see which way they went?

Didn't hang around to find out. I split it sharpish.

What do they look like?

Good -looking.

Class haircuts.

One dark, about 30, married.

The other younger, blonde, about 25.

Bit of a raver, I'd say.

Now, why would you say that?

Here she was.

Pregnant? That's right.

Far gone. Not married, neither.

No wedding ring.

It's not only your lot that's noticed these things, you know. No, obviously

And?

Anything else?

Yeah. The younger one.

Came back in the car. She had a bit of trouble breathing. Used, uh, what's it?

Inhaler?

Yeah, like that.

Right. On your feet.

Where are we going?

Pete, photo fit. I want him to make pretty pictures fast. Yes, ma 'am. Here,

right? Just a piece of bleeding luggage, you know. Such a face, Lemmy. Both

women, full descriptors. One of the suspects is heavily pregnant.

Are you sure?

Yes, that's her only witness. Look, how does that affect... I mean, and if she's

infected, what chance is for the child? Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't

know. He's supposed to be the expert.

You know, I think the governor's wrong. I think we should contact the press

immediately. I think the warning should go on TV.

That capsule found in the car, the PATH lab have analysed it. It's sodium

chromoglycate. What's that? It's a drug for controlling allergies, and you can

only get it on prescriptions. Hey, prescriptions have the doctor's name on

It should have the patient's name and address.

All we've got to do is to find the chemist who filled in that prescription.

That'll... I'll check the photographs.

What time is it?

Nearly twelve.

Did you sleep well?

Why didn't you wake me?

I hadn't the heart to be dead beat last night. Do you know it was gone four when

we went to bed?

I had to get up, get this lot started, Sophie off to school.

Oh, I couldn't help it.

You needed your beauty sleep. There's some tea over there. It should still be

hot.

Where's the dog?

In the summer house for the time being.

How is he?

Not the same.

Still dopey.

God knows what kind of drugs those faders have pumped into him.

Would you say if you know about the dog?

No. Not yet.

What do you tell her?

Same as I tell her father when he gets back that we're looking after Charlie

a friend who's gone on out of it.

What friend?

Oh, think of someone.

Will you stop worrying?

We'll get him down to the cottage at the weekend.

And no one will be any the wiser.

I think Charlie thinks him, don't you?

When did Roger get back?

He rang from Glasgow this morning. He's getting the shuttle back tonight.

Coward. I guess he's going well out of the way until Sophie's birthday party's

over.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I told you he was a Morris dancer.

Behave. Maybe last night wasn't such a good idea after all. Of course it was.

When would we have got another chance like that?

We're away for the night, that chap to do the driving.

I'm OK, honestly.

Are you sure?

I'm just being pooped up in the car with that dog.

You know me and animal hairs.

I must get back to the flat and change.

I'm due at the clinic at two and I must change my clothes.

Walk the other mum to think I turned up in my SAS gear.

Do you want me to come with you?

No.

No, you've got enough to cope with.

I'll take a cup. What have you done to your arm?

Oh, it was a burn. I put it on the oven door. It's nothing.

The skin is off. It's not.

Now, you fussing.

Very light.

Hang about.

Yeah, that's her. Only she had it wide in mouth.

And fuller. You know what I mean? Don't get carried away, Spotty. You're not

painting her rubies.

That's her. You got her. We're evil.

Several dozen copies, soon as possible.

What about me?

Well, you know the routine by now, Lenny. You'll be charged with taking and

driving away, amongst other things.

After your little trip, of course.

Where are we going?

The hospital, ain't you?

You won't mind a few injections now, will you, Lenny?

Oh, very festive.

I'm just off. I shall be back about four to cope with the mob. Only if you feel

up to it. Of course I will. I love a party.

Anything you want me to bring?

A couple of large loaves wouldn't go amiss.

Right. I'll say hello to Charlie on my way out.

Are you going to keep him in the summer house?

Only while he's still dopey. If he perks up, he can come to the party too.

Emma, we did do the right thing, didn't we?

I mean, bringing him here.

You know we did.

Could you have left him in a place like that, knowing what they do to animals?

No, it's just...

Well, we've never done that sort of thing before. It wasn't part of the

Well, we've just released the poor things before.

Well, maybe we should just leave them on the screen with the other animals.

They're not like other animals. They need human comfort. They'll talk to it.

They're probably the only people he knows. He'd have gone straight back to

Well, if Roger finds out, he'll go berserk. Will you stop worrying about

and leave him to me?

Look, we'll get Charlie down to the cottage at the weekend. Everything will

fine. There'll be dogs in the village to complain with, there's fields to run

in, and you know Sophie and animals.

She's just going to love him to death.

Yes, I know some of you have been walking your legs off to the knees all

morning, but this is a new lead and we've got to follow it up quickly.

Every second counts.

Have you all been assigned your itineraries? No. Well, that's to make

don't cover the same ground twice to save time and shoe leather.

Now, it's possible that this girl...

Had a prescription filled for this drug at a chemist in our area.

If it helps jog the chemist's memory, she's heavily pregnant.

I'll cover your allotted streets as quick as you can and don't radio in

you've got a definite ID.

I want you all back here in an hour and a half.

Any questions?

Yeah. Why is it we don't come up with anything? We widen the search area until

we do. Come on, let's go. Good luck.

We'll need it.

Well... At least they shouldn't be hard to remember.

Where's Pete?

He took Spotty Muldoon to the hospital.

So it's you and me.

Dr. Davis went with them.

You know, it's what Davis says about that dog suddenly turning savage that

really worried me.

Yeah.

Shall we start?

All right.

Nothing? Nothing. That's my lot. Checked. Yeah, mine too.

Now what?

Like you said, widen the circle.

Yeah, I thought... DS Barrett, I think we cracked it.

Chemistry has identified the girl.

It's a private prescription, so he's still got it on file.

Patient's name, a Miss Sally Wyatt.

No permanent address.

What about the doctor's address?

It's a Dr. Lambert, specialist in allergies.

Practice in Wimpole Street, the Wigmore Street end.

Meet you there in ten minutes.

Just because a drug has no real effect on a rat, why should that make it safe

for humans?

It would take too long to explain.

Look... No drug can be released for human application until it has been

on a wide variety of animals.

That's the law.

Every safeguard is carefully checked.

That's not what the colour supplement said.

The colour supplement?

Don't knock it. You didn't read the article. I did.

It said that if they'd used the same stringent tests on insulin and

when they were first discovered, they'd have never been released for use on

humans.

Really? Yes, really.

Insulin is known to produce deformities in rabbits and mice, and penicillin's

poisonous to some animals.

So?

So, all I'm saying is that animal experiments may not be reliable as a

that's all.

A little learning... Makes you think.

What about the other side of the coin? What about the drugs that pass all the

animal tests and still cause disasters?

What about thalidomide? Ah, well, I was wondering when you'd get... Oh, we found

that dog, then, didn't we?

I don't know, sir. Well, I just thought if you've got time to sit around

spouting abstruse rubbish, we must have the case wrapped up. I was just

expressing an opinion, sir. Well, don't. But do it in your own time. Where is

everybody? I think they got a hot tip. Well, let's hope it pays off.

I've just had a roasting from the health and safety people.

Where's Muldoon?

We took him to St Thomas'. He's been vaccinated and they're arranging for him

go to an isolation unit.

Is that bad?

Well, everyone who comes in contact with the dog will have to go through the

same routine.

Yeah, that's what I've been told.

Anyway, as soon as the dog's located, it's to be destroyed.

The D -11 are laying on a couple of marksmen.

As for the sending two men from the dog training school, complete with

protective clothing.

If we don't come through on this one, it's going to be the biggest mess this

Nick's ever been in.

That is a very worried man.

I wouldn't know, sir.

I'm not allowed to have opinions.

Hang on, Maggie.

Drawing a blank.

I thought you said... I know what I said. I wasn't to know then. Know what?

Dr Lambert's away.

Won't be back till Monday.

We'll have to get his home address then, won't we? No, that's just the point.

He's away.

Seems Dr Lambert has gone off on a junket abroad.

Do we know where abroad?

Geneva. That's right. Seems some big drugs firm is having a medical

Well, the words of glorified piss -up. That's all we need. He was that close,

though. Yeah.

What was that name again?

Wyatt. Sally Wyatt. No, no, no. The doctor. Lambert.

All right, I'll contact Interpol if the Swiss police can get hold of this

Lambert and get him to a telephone. And if he's sober.

And if he can remember the girl's whereabouts, her case notes. That's a

it. Oh, thank you. Can any of you think of anything better?

Maggie, if it's any consolation, the health and safety people go for your

If we haven't got the dog by 4pm, hand the story over to the media.

We should have done that this morning.

It's the early evening edition, isn't it?

Yeah, but we'll be in time for the news on the early evening telly. Yeah, at

least we've got something better to offer them this morning.

Two faces and a name. It should get resolved.

Oi, Doctor.

I take it you didn't have much luck.

Some luck, but not enough.

Where's Sergeant Phillips?

Ah, the moment he heard the name Sally Wyatt, he said he'd had an idea.

We could use it. I'll see whether CRO have got anything on her.

I just thought she makes a habit of this kind of thing.

I've got these from Evans and Cooper. I thought perhaps we could take a section

each.

That's right. Her name's Sally Wyatt. She's 25 and heavily pregnant.

So she should be attending... No,

no, no.

Monsieur... Je suis anglais.

No, no, no.

Non comprendez.

Mum, uh... Is Celia someone who speaks English?

Yeah, I am trying to understand.

No. Look, look, don't give me a hard time. Is she on your list or not? None

your business what I want to know. Is she one of your patients? Yes or no?

Wyatt. Well, have a bloody look.

It's a dry charm.

No, I'm not Sally Wyatt. Look, uh...

Let's start again.

What I want to know is if Miss Sally White is attending your antenatal

Yes, that's right.

Yes. And hang on.

I'm wading through treacle. So much for charm.

Either of you two speak French?

Only if I met you.

I've got Geneva on.

Try Phillips.

Hello? She's the know -all round here. Are you sure? Yes, I'm still here.

Oh, well, thanks for looking anyway.

Bye. Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Duff tart.

Well, I only did it to a level. Yeah, well, let's hope that's enough.

What's his name?

Nous cherchons un docteur anglais qui s 'appelle Lambert.

Selon nos enquêtes, ce docteur est arrivé à Genève pour assister à une

conférence médicale.

Je ne sais pas, peut -être un grand hôtel ou une école de médecine. C 'est

possible de trouver ce monsieur.

Oui, oui, j 'attends.

Yes.

Well, thanks anyway. Bye.

Maggie, I've got her. Where?

Tending an antenatal clinic, St Damien's Hospital, Notting Hill Gate.

Put me there this afternoon. She's just left.

Address, have an address. Flat 14, Morbin Court, Sodham Court Road. Right,

go.

Wait on, Maggie. The dog may not be there. We don't look quite charged

a full errand.

I'll go and sort it out first. If the dog's there, I'll get straight on the

OK?

Maggie, this is no place for a woman.

We're dealing with a dangerous animal.

I've been sharing an office with you for long enough.

Charlie, you feeling better?

Yeah,

you'll like this.

Silly boy.

Nobody here's gonna hurt you.

How about some water?

You're not thirsty, you haven't touched it.

You have it in your own time.

How was it?

Fine. I'm the blue -eyed girl. According to them, I'm as strong as an ox.

Look,

I just phoned to tell you that I've ordered a minicup and I'll be with you

about 20 minutes.

I've got lots of delicious goodies.

But I've already got enough to feed a regiment.

Celebrate last night's success.

Help Charlie.

Much better, I think. Anyway, not so lethargic. More lively, but restless

You ever come out and play with a girl?

Did you organise the treasure hunt?

Yes, I've hidden all the presents in the garden. I do not want those kids around

fucking my house.

Well, that's the odd thing. I listened to the news headlines. There was no

mention of the raid.

But when we released the monkeys and saw it, it was on the news within hours.

Nothing in the papers either.

Yes. Look,

I've got to go. The cab's here.

Bye.

Hello? Miss Wyatt.

Oh, that was quick. Can you come up and help? I'll leave the door ajar.

You know, she's obviously expecting someone.

Oh, let's not disappoint her, then.

Look now, keep behind me.

I can't look after myself, Jack. Oh, the same. Let me have a deco first. If the

dog's there, I'll give you a shout, and you can get back down here like the

clappers and radio to the goddard, OK?

All right.

Miss Wyatt?

Oh, thanks for coming up. I shall be a minute. Can you take the stuff on the

sofa down to the car?

As you can see, I've got rather a lot to be helpful.

You're not the cab driver, are you? No, Miss Wyatt, I'm a police officer.

Is the dog here?

What? Look, don't mess me about, love. Do you have the dog in this flat?

I don't know what you're talking about. My dog forbids animals in the lease.

I mean, my lease forbids animals in the flat.

Look, what is all this?

Have you got a warrant?

Dog's not here.

Miss Sally Wyatt?

Yes?

Last night, two women raided a laboratory in Berkshire and stole a dog.

Good for them. Wrong, Miss Wyatt. Bad for them. Perhaps even fatal for them.

Now, where is that dog? How should I know? We have reason to believe that she

was one of those women. Oh, this is ridiculous.

You can say this at any time. Look, Miss Wyatt, please don't waste our time.

We've already questioned the man that drove you last night.

Miss Wyatt, when's the baby due?

Not for another six weeks.

Jack, we'll need an ambulance.

This animal is very sick.

You don't seem to understand just how serious this is. No, you don't

Do you know how many animals die every week in animal experiments?

I don't, but I mean, I think that I know.

85 ,000.

Every week, animals are tortured and killed just to keep the wheels of big

business turning so that drug firms can make millions.

You're saying we don't need drugs?

I'm saying that 75 % of the drugs produced as a result of those

never even used.

They're never even released.

I'm saying that animals are forced to drink antifree just to see how toxic it

is. That rabbits are blinded just to test shampoo and eye makeup.

I make up for crises.

I understand how you feel. Believe me, I do. No, you don't.

Don't humor me.

You support them. You're one of them. Well, that's why you're here now.

I am here because you've broken the law.

It's a vicious law. It is my job to uphold it. I see. You're just obeying

orders. Where have I heard that before?

Animals, we're all they've got.

Our responsibility.

We are supposed to be the highest species.

And what do we do to them?

We stick electric probes into their brain.

We rip out their hearts to see if they can function outside their bodies.

We cut holes in their stomachs and put windows in.

And all in the name of research or more of a curiosity.

Can you honestly think I'll tell you, I'll believe this fantastic story about

Rabus and tell you where the poor creature is so that you can take him

that terrible place to be tortured to death?

You think I'm very stupid.

Maggie's trying to get the girl to tell her, but she's a tough one. I don't

think she'll crack.

What do you want me to do?

Better get back here, Jack.

I'll have to call that press conference.

Quick as you can, yeah?

Right, see you.

Um, if you've called for Miss Wyatt, you've just missed her.

You what?

She's already gone? That's right. She couldn't hang about.

Bleeding typical, innit, eh? The traffic's murder round High Park Corner.

been ever since some wally put them traffic lights in.

I mean, I know I'm late, but I thought she might have... Ah, sod it. Where were

you taking her to?

What's it to you?

Very important.

Oh, well.

It's different, isn't it?

Ollant Park.

We're in Ollant Park. It's a big area.

Hang on, hang on. It's on the docket.

Never pick up a fare without it's on the docket.

There, see?

Thanks. Here, hang about.

Here, do you mind?

Hey, hold it.

What am I going to tell them back at the office?

Hey, hey.

John.

Never believe in Wally.

I don't believe you. There is no rabies in this country. It has been advancing

through Europe at the rate of 30 miles a year. It is only the channel that stops

it from getting into this country.

Now, that dog was smuggled into this country by some stupid man who was

to avoid our quarantine restrictions.

I mean, what was it like? How did the dog seem to you? Was he tired or

Yes, that was probably... What about that woman who was with you last night?

that who the dog's with? I can't tell you. I can't. Sally, you must.

Don't you realize that if that dog bites her or even gets saliva onto an open

wound, unless we get her to a hospital fast, she will most surely die.

You're telling me the truth. Yes, I swear it.

Sophie's birthday, yes? Here you are, darling.

Can I go to the bathroom? No, no, no, not your shirt. Just a minute.

Ready, everyone?

Hi!

I noticed a couple of tins of dog food in one of the carrier bags. So it's odds

on the minicab has taken it to wherever the dog has gone. All right, settle

down. This is what we're going to do.

Jack, you're with me.

Jake, you and Pete travel with the marksman. Doctor, you're with the dog

handlers. The rest of you pile into any car that's available.

I want the house surrounded with a minimum of noise, fast bother, no sense

alarming the neighbours.

We'll go in front.

Jake, you and Pete are on the back.

I don't have to tell you to handle the dog with caution. You don't handle it at

all. That's what he's here for.

As soon as you get a clear sighting of the dog, you shoot. Understood? Right,

let's go.

Do they actually have to kill it?

What do you think?

Well, could they not aim for the head? It is the most vital part for the

autopsy. Of course, you're locked up. They'll aim to kill.

What will they do to the dog?

Will you take it back to the laboratory?

He will be put down.

Ray being a terrible death for an animal, it will be a relief, I promise

Look, are you going to tell me your friend's a joke or do you want her to

too?

She lives at 27 Earlston Crescent. That's just off Holland Park Avenue.

Thank you.

Keep it.

What time is

this?

Put radio in and tell them that I'm here already. It's time to get a burn.

No, the dog's the cure.

Oh, yes, and you'd better get an ambulance around here as well.

I'm afraid you're going to have to go to hospital, Mrs. Saunders. You say the

dog licked you? Oh, my God.

Gravy.

Well,

how could you?

Well, she should be at St. Damien's by now. You can ring through and inquire.

Meantime, I'm going to go downstairs and wait for my men. I want you to keep all

the children in this room, Mrs. Saunders. Oh, and yes, don't let them go

the window.

Not now.

Oh, not now, love.

be a treasure hunt. We were going to look for presents in the garden. We do

every year.

Where did you take it?

Hand me that.

The anorak, quickly.

Keep the rest of the children in this room and let my men in the moment they

arrive.

Hello?

Sophie? Where are you?

party? Yes.

Hello. My name's Maggie.

Is that cake for me?

No. Mummy said there was a dog in the summer house and she was sick, so I

thought she'd like some cake.

Dogs like cake, you know.

Yes, I'm sure they do.

Look, Kirk, I don't think we should bother him now, do you? I mean, not if

feeling poorly.

I think he must be feeling better now.

Oh, why don't you think that?

Mummy said he was in the summer house, but he isn't.

What? Are you sure?

Yes. I looked.

The door's open, and he's not there.

Oh, it's all right.

He must be in the garden somewhere.

There's no way he can get out.

Look, Sophie, your mummy said he'd find you. She wants you back in the house.

She's got an extra special surprise for you. Shall we go inside?

Oh, lovely. I love birthdays.

Look,

there he is. I told you he couldn't get out of the garden.

Sophie, where's the summer house?

Over there, at the other end of the garden.

What's the matter with you?

Is he angry?

Yeah.

Sophie, give me the cake.

Why? Is it a game?

Yes.

Now, I'm going to throw the cake to the dog, and then I'll shout, Go on, I want

you to run with me as fast as you can to the summer house. Will you do that for

me, Sophie?

Yes. All right.

Go, Sophie, run!

Run! Run as hard as you can!

It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. Come on.

It's all right.

It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Would you go straight to the ambulance at the front of the house?

Yes.

You all right? Yes.

It's close.

Don't thank me. It's all down to Jack.

Jack? Can't stop, Mag. Still got a few hours of my day off left.

Just time to gas a couple of badges.
