His name's Walsh.

Stephen Walsh.

Stevie to his friends.

Not that there are many of them about.

And he did a ten stretch for armed robbery?

Aye.

We never got the money back, either.

He's dangerous and he's violent.

And I reckon he'll turn up in Aidensfield.

What makes you think that?

Cos his wife, Ellen, still lives there, that's why.

Couldn't half do with a shovel full of them clinkers up my waistcoat.

You've not seen owt of that daft dog of mine, have you?

- Gone walkabout, has he? - Aye, looks like it.

I'm afraid I haven't, no.

Right, well, if he happens to turn up, give us a shout, will you?

Aye, right, I will, Claude.

So where are you ringing from?

Really?

Where are you, you daft ha'porth?

- What did he want? - He says he's coming over to see me.

Well, he's picked a funny time of year for visiting, hasn't he?

- Well, that's what I thought. - Well...

Hey, the last time I saw him, he was about that long

and he'd just thrown up all over the vicar.

Only cos he nearly dropped him in the font.

Aye, I remember that and all.

I wonder what he wants.

Well, we'll know soon enough, I reckon.

- Thank you. - Who were you trying to get?

A woman called Walsh up on Shepley Road.

Ellen Walsh?

I had her in only last week for her final prenatal.

You what?

She's due any day now.

Why?

Well, the bloke she happens to be married to

hasn't seen the outside of a cell for the last ten years.

And, as far as I know,

there were no conjugal rights on offer where he's been.

Are you sure we're talking about the same Ellen Walsh?

Farm Cottage?

Yeah, that's her, but it was her husband brought her in.

And he actually told you that, did he?

Well... no.

Great.

Where are you going?

Well, I've got to get a message to her.

It could be more than a baby she's expecting.

Nick, you're not thinking of taking your bike out again in this weather?

Only as far as Mostyn's garage, see if I can borrow his Land Rover.

Alfred?

PC Rowan. Can I have a word with Mrs. Walsh?

Come in.

What makes you think he'd come back here?

Well, where else is he going to go?

This is still his home, isn't it?

Not as far as I am concerned, it's not.

And does he realise that?

In fact, more to the point, Mrs. Walsh,

does he know that you're pregnant?

What do you think?

Are you the father of the child, sir?

So?

Well, Stevie Walsh does have a bit of a reputation.

You don't have to worry about me, pal.

It's Mrs. Walsh I'm worried about.

Well, if he does turn up and start causing trouble,

then give us a ring, eh?

There's a phone box down the lane that should still be working.

You realise that yours isn't?

Right, well, I thought I'd let you know.

Good afternoon.

Look, who is this bloke, anyroad?

King bloody Kong, or somebody?

You heard what he did to that bloke down the pub,

just cos he chatted me up.

I'm telling you now, Ellie, love,

he doesn't frighten me, this husband of yours.

Well, he should, Roy.

Cos, by God, he frightens me.

- It's like the Arctic out there. - You made it through!

On a wing and a prayer.

According to the news, the whole of Yorkshire's snowed in

and it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

Well, let's hope so.

If nothing else, it gives us poor old coppers a break, doesn't it?

BANGING ON DOOR - Oh, yeah?

Oh!

It's... it's my dog, Alfred, he's gone missing.

Hi, Dr. Rowan.

I let him out first thing this morning,

I've not seen hide nor hair on him since.

What you expect me to do about it?

Well, you... you must be able to do summat?

Like what? There's three foot of snow out there.

I know that, don't I? That's why I'm so damn worried.

You can give his description to all the other coppers

that are sitting around doing nowt, they can start searching.

In this weather?

What do you think we are, Mounties?

Look, he could be stuck in a snowdrift, freezing to death.

I tell you what, if I do go out again, I'll keep my eyes open.

And if I speak to any of the lads,

I'll tell them to put the word out, how's that?

Right, you know what he looks like, don't you?

He's like, grey. Lurcher type.

Right. HE SHIVERS

My name's Marshall, I was with her down the clinic.

Oh, right. Have you got transport, Mr. Marshall?

Well, I have, but my battery's flat.

I'll get an ambulance to you as soon as I can.

Right. Only, you will be quick, won't you?

Don't worry, Mr Marshall. Bye.

- All right? - What do you think?

Ambulance on its way.

SHE MOANS

- Mrs. Bromley, it's Kate Rowan. - 'Oh, hello, Doctor.'

Look, Ellen Walsh at Farm Cottage has started with contractions

Could you meet me up there?

- 'On my way, Doctor.' - Thanks very much, bye.

Right, Ventress, bring me up to date.

Erm, train derailment up at Carey's Cottage.

I know that, how serious is it?

Well, pretty serious, from the sound of it, Sarge.

- Nick Rowan's up there now. - Have you informed Division?

I have, Sarge, but there'll not be much coming from there.

- They're snowed in worse than we are. - What about rescue services?

Well, that's the other bad news, Sarge. They're in the same state.

Erm, British Railways have got a snowplough, Sarge,

- they're bringing it up. - How long will that take?

Well, a couple of hours at least, they reckon.

HE SIGHS Wonderful.

Have you... have you heard the news, have you?

What?

There's been a train crash at Carey's Cottage.

Charlie Renshaw said he'd never seen owt like it.

He thought a bomb had been dropped.

Oh, my God!

We've gotta do something, our Barry's on that train.

Right, come on, lads.

Okay, now, listen up. I said listen up.

Now, help is on its way,

but we need to get as many of the injured as possible

into this tunnel and out of the weather, okay?

Well, come on, then.

Aye, I can understand. Thank you, Colonel.

No joy from them either then, sarge?

No, they're at full stretch. But they'll do what they can.

- Sarge? - What?

- Nick on the phone for you. - Right.

At last. Rowan, what's the situation?

Pretty grim, Sarge.

There's quite a number injured and we're still searching the wreckage.

We need help urgently.

I see. Right, now, listen.

We've got a team trying to get through by road again,

but the best bet seems to be the railway snowplough.

Now, it'll be at least a couple of hours

before anyone can get through to you.

So in the meantime, you'll just have to manage the best you can?

All right?

- 'Good luck.' - Right, Sarge.

I'm just going to take a quick look at you and then we'll decide what to do.

Alex!

Oh, Nick!

Weekend in London.

I came home early. All...

All that traffic. Too much.

Are you badly hurt?

Oh, no bones broken, as far as I can tell.

We're moving everybody into the tunnel.

If you feel up to it, will you see if you can help?

Oh, sure.

Right. Right, yes.

Hey, copper.

Over here.

His legs are trapped.

Lost all feeling in them, he says.

D'you think you could pull that off him and

I'll try and get him out?

Let's find out, shall we?

- What's your name, son? - Barry.

I'm going to try and pull you out of there.

- It might just hurt a bit. - Just get on with it, will you?

- Are you ready? - Go.

BARRY SCREAMS

I don't think she even knows about this yet.

No.

Are you sure you're all right, Alex?

Erm, yes.

Yes. Yes.

So, when's the cavalry due over the hill, then?

Well, it could be a couple of hours, at least.

Oh, aye. What are we supposed to do till then?

Stand here till our cobblers freeze off?

What do you suggest we do?

I thought perhaps you could use a bit of help.

Have you got some transport back there?

Plenty of it, yeah.

Right, well, let's get everybody up to the village.

Okay, listen, everybody! Listen!

I want you all to slowly start making your way

- to the end of the tunnel. - Barry!

There's some transport there to take you up to the village, okay?

Barry!

- Barry! - Gina!

- Poor kid! - Ow, watch my leg.

- Can you move your leg? - What does it look like?

Oh man. Gods!

Oh, Barry.

- Can't you go any faster? - No, not really.

Oh, for God's sake, please, hurry!

This is just the job, George.

It's the only place in the village with enough room.

- It's freezing, though. - There's no central heating.

- Well, can't we get it switched on? - Not without power, no.

Look, does anybody know where there's a generator?

Claude?

Well, I know where I might be able to put my hands on one.

Well, can you fetch it here?

Aye, but it's a big 'un, I should need somebody to give me a hand.

- I'll go with him. - Right, thank you. George?

- Stevie Walsh, isn't it? - So?

Oh, you know who I am, don't you? Claude Greengrass.

Bloody hell, I thought you were dead.

Yeah I, just haven't been very well, that's all.

So, what was it like inside, then?

Well, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

CLAUDE CHUCKLES

- How does it feel now? - It's hurting a bit.

Well, you're a doctor, can't YOU do something?

There must be something somebody can give him.

Kate will be here as soon as she finds out.

Sweet tea and lots of it.

That's what's wanted here, Constable.

Yes, Mrs. Bromley.

And preferably with summat to go in it.

You haven't seen Kate anywhere, have you, George?

No, I'm afraid I haven't, lad.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Oh, aye, I took courses in it, didn't I? When I were inside.

I mean, you never know when this sort of thing

might come in handy, do you? Eh?

Right. Here we go, then.

Well, I can tell you where she is, if that's all that's bothering you.

Where?

Well, she's probably still up at Farm Cottage,

delivering Ellen Walsh's baby.

And how would you know that?

Cos I'm supposed to be up there myself, aren't I?

But, I mean, with all this...

I mean, it's a question of priorities, really, isn't it?

She's having a baby, then, is she? Ellen Walsh?

That's right.

Only I heard that her old man was in jail.

And that's right as well, love.
