♪ Heartbeat

♪ Why does a love kiss stay in my memory? ♪

Why didn't you wake me up? You know I hate being late.

Oh, you were dead to the world.

What time did you get in last night?

About three. The baby took its time arriving.

I'm due in Whitby this morning too.

Well, maybe you'll have an easier time at the village surgery.

Fat chance, with the bug that's going round at the moment.

Have you eaten all the toast?

It's there, dear.

Oh, yeah. You wouldn't put that in the car for me, would you?

Urgh. What you've got in here, Kate?

Old patients' files.

Thought you'll be glad to get rid of them.

Yeah, delighted. Just don't fancy getting a hernia.

Oh, stop moaning, you'll be fine.

- You're not carrying a box. - Get on!

"Maybe you'll have an easy surgery, eh."

Where d'you want them?

Leave them in the hall for the moment.

Morning, everybody!

I'm sorry I'm a bit late starting today.

Sit down, Claude.

So, what seems to be the problem?

I've got some sort of flu. Every bone in my body aches.

I think it's bringing on me rheumatism.

Uh-huh. How dangerously are you living?

How d'you mean?

I mean, if your rheumatism's playing up

it's more likely to be caused by midnight rambles in the cold and damp

than anything else.

Oh, yes. Very good.

You're spending too much time with a policeman is warping you.

Let's listen to your chest.

Do I have to take my coat off?

That would be a good idea, yes!

I hope you're gonna warm that thing up.

He'll come back when he's hungry.

You know how much that dog means to him.

We'll find him!

Jamie!

Mum, I'm just gonna look for him!

Look, it's not my fault Sam's gone missing.

You're the one who insisted on bringing him.

We didn't want to come here in the first place!

Oh, don't start all that again.

I didn't exactly have much choice!

And we didn't have any at all! And now we're stuck here!

Jamie, you must eat something!

Mum, I don't want anything!

Morning, Tom.

We lost one of the beagles yesterday.

So if you see anything...

I'll keep me eyes open.

What happened?

Oh, it's common enough that one'll go off on a scent of its own.

But we usually find 'em next day.

Big meeting?

Good turnout.

Rotten sport. Didn't catch a thing.

And the ground we covered should have been stuffed with hares.

So where did they go?

Either something frightened 'em off.

Or more likely somebody's had 'em.

- Poachers? - Exactly.

There aren't that many dogs in the village can take down a hare

...and one of them's a lurcher, if you get my drift.

I'll toss you for first go.

No you won't. You're welcome to it.

Good!

See, when I get behind the wheel of that, there's gonna be no stopping me.

It hasn't been send in solely to boost your love life.

- Morning, lads! - Nick.

I see my new motor's arrived.

Er... it's Ashfordly's, Nick.

And I spotted it first.

- So keep your hands off it. - Oh yeah?

He thinks he's James Bond goin' to pull all the birds.

More like Pussy Galore!

Blaketon!

Well, it's good of you to join us, Rowan.

I'm just going outside to test my new vehicle.

I may be away for some time.

Good morning, gentlemen.

ALL: Morning, ma'am.

I see the new car's arrived, Sergeant Blaketon.

Yes, ma'am.

D'you know, I'm surprised you haven't put somebody out on patrol yet?

Well I was just about to, ma'am.

Good. Because I need you to go over the custody records, please.

Ah. Well, er... certainly, ma'am.

Would you like to go through to my office, ma'am?

Thank you.

Bellamy, bring in the files.

And Ventress, you go outside and impress the ratepayers

with our new vehicle.

And Rowan, just take that smirk off your face.

How are you feeling?

Well, I'm still getting these headaches, Dr. Rowan.

How often?

All day. I'm on me own at the garage now, so I can't take much time off.

And the pills I gave you aren't helping at all?

Well, not that I've noticed.

When did you do that?

Oh er, couple of weeks back, strippin' some rusty panels off a car.

Looks nasty. Did you put anything on it?

I kept it clean.

Jim, that should have been properly dressed.

Well, things heal quicker in the fresh air.

It's a bit itchy, but been alright.

You up to date with your anti-tetanus?

Yeah, oh yeah. You've got to in my line of work, haven't you?

That's fine. I think I'll give you a booster all the same.

Oh, the other thing is, I've got a bit of a sore throat coming on.

Let's have a look.

Hmm. It's a bit inflamed all right.

It's probably the bug that's going around at the moment.

You're in the wars, aren't you?

The radio man's here, Doctor.

Are there many more patients?

There's six to go.

Seemed to be an awful lot this morning.

I'm afraid you've had seen them all. Dr. Rowan hasn't turned up.

I see. Well, you'll just have to ask him to wait.

She is beautiful, isn't she?

What you're waiting for, Alf?

This could be your chance to turn a few heads.

- Oh Nick. - Hmm?

You wouldn't do us a favour, would you?

What's that?

Come with me.

Why?

Well, between you and me, it's been some time...

Don't tell me you can't drive!

Of course I can!

It's just that it's been a year or two since I've been behind the wheel...

Well, come on, then!

Oh!

Ta, love. And a pasty, please.

Pasty, please, Uncle George!

Feeling any better?

Worse, if anything.

Think I'm coming down with the flu, now.

Claude's kind of ill. We haven't seen him here this week.

What can I get you, sir?

Ah, pint of bitter, please.

Hello, mate.

Afternoon.

It's thirsty work, shopping round here.

- Are you just passing through? - Yes.

We're caravanning. Looking for a place to live at the same time.

Really? That was quick!

Aye, I'd made it for meself!

Greater love hath no man, eh?

There you go, Jim. It's a good 'un.

- Keep the change. - Thanks very much.

My, you look a pit peaky.

I'd feel a lot better if people didn't keep goin' on about it.

How about the hair of the dog?

No, not really. I've been in the Army.

We've lived all over.

But, I've got a friends up North,

so it seem's as good a place as any to make a fresh start.

That's nice.

I wonder, could you give me some advice?

Yeah, sure.

You see, our dog's gone missing, day before yesterday and uh...

what's the best place to put up a notice, offer a reward,

that sort of thing?

Yeah, well write it out now and I'll put it up on the wall for you.

What sort of a dog is it?

It's a golden retriever. Thanks very much.

The family getting frantic.

I'll get you a piece of paper.

Are you going, Jim? You haven't finished your pasty!

Well, me throat's that sore, I can hardly swallow. See you.

Ta-ra.

There's a lot of it about, you know.

Yeah.

How am I gonna get round?

You want to come back a bit.

Whoa!

Oh, is that enough?

Come on, Alf. I wanna stop at Greengrass' place on the way back.

Oh, that's up that way, then.

Well, indicate, then!

That's not the indicator, Alf!

Basically functions as a normal two-way radio

between the base station and the portable unit.

Now, you can either opt for the hand-held version,

or you can have one fitted to your car.

Hmm. What do you think, Kate?

It sounds ideal. But how much does it cost?

£90 a set.

Can we buy one set and add more units later?

That's no problem.

£90!

If the midwife service has them, we should.

It's the police, Claude. Open up.

Oi! Come on, this is a raid. Bring out your dead!

What are you talking about? What dead?

About a dozen hares, from what I can gather.

What you're talking about?! What've you been putting in his porridge?

It's a serious matter, Greengrass. We may have to arrest Alfred again.

You what? Look, I've not been well.

I've not been out for a week. Neither has he.

That's not how it looked to Tom Gordon.

Well, Tom Gordon wants his eyes testin'.

And you taking it out on me, you want your heads lookin' at.

So you haven't been on Birley Moor lately?

Birley Moor?

How many times you want me to tell you?

I should, I should be in bed, not galloping about on Birley Moor!

Yeah, all right.

It looks like he's telling the truth for once.

What if he comes looking for us?

He won't! Now, come on.

Mind the sheep!

Daft beggars! Why don't they read the Highway Code?!

- Right, then. - Right.

I had a word with Greengrass.

What did he say?

Well, it's nothing to do with him.

You could be right at that.

I found my missing one dead, down by the woods.

What would that be? A fox?

Might be. I've never had it happen before.

But if it's fast enough and hard enough to kill a beagle,

it should be able to see off a few hares.

GASPS WITH EFFORT

Hell!

- Well? - Nothing.

You do surprise me!

I've asked in the post office, I've asked in the shop,

and I've also put up a notice in the local pub.

So you think we should just sit and wait?

All I want to do is to get up to Middlesbrough,

find old Graham and see if he'll give me a job.

But what about Jamie?

Look, he'll get over it.

We had a good life in the Army.

Alice, all that is in the past.

I mean I didn't asked for any of this.

But since I've been given my marching orders,

we might as well make the best of it.

I mean, look at it from Jamie's point of view.

I mean, it's much better for him to make a fresh start in a new school now,

when he's 13, than in 2 years' time.

Quiet. He's coming.

Any luck, darling?

He'll turn up.

Your father's going off for a look now.

He's put a notice up in the village.

I'll get my boots on.

I should never have listened to you about that ruddy dog!

Hello, love.

It's finally arrived!

No, it's not mine. It's for general use in Ashfordly.

What's it doing here, then?

Well, Alf's managed to pranged it already, so

I thought I'll ask Jim to have a look at it for me.

Kate, why are those turnips in the back of your car?

Don't ask.

Shop?

All right, Jim.

Hello, mate.

Hey listen. Can you do us a favour?

Our new police car's had a bit of a bump.

Can you sort it for me?

I'll have a look.

GASPS

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I just keep tensing up.

Here, let's get you out of there.

Please.

Will you get us that mug of water?

Yeah.

Here you are.

Kate, he's through there.

What happened?

He had some sort of fit. His whole body went rigid.

I only saw him this morning.

It could be tetanus, but I don't understand how.

His inoculations are up to date.

Hello, Jim. How are you feeling?

Terrible.

My throat's as sore as hell, and I'm so thirsty.

Could we have a glass of water, please?

Is there any stiffness in your neck?

Not in particular, Doctor.

It just comes in waves. All over.

These all feel quite relaxed.

Thanks.

Now, just sip this slowly, Jim.

Here, let me help.

Aaargh!

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

PANTING

I think we should isolate him.

What's happening?

I'm going to ask James Radcliffe for a second opinion.

I don't think it can be tetanus even though it looks like it.

So what do you think it is?

I've never seen it, but I'm wondering if it might be rabies.

Sam!

Sammy!

Here, boy!

Sam?

Come on, darling.

Look, Kate.

I hope you're wrong.

His muscles are relaxing completely between spasms.

If it was tetanus, surely they'd stay tense.

Yes.

What have you done so far?

I've sedated him to control the convulsions.

I've seen it a couple of times before, you know.

Is there any way of halting it?

Once it's reach the brain, no.

What about vaccines?

They can't work. Once the symptoms show,

it means it's established itself in the central nervous system.

So what happens next?

With rabies, it's just a matter of time.

I'd better go and phone my sergeant.

Have you asked him about being bitten?

No.

We'd better go and talk to him.

How's Jamie?

Upset.

Oh, well. We'll sort something out.

There is life after the Army, you know.

Are you sure this friend of yours will be able to help?

Well, I can't guarantee it, but he did say that I should contact him.

What about Sam?

I think we should leave him.

I should never have listened to you two.

We can't.

Our life's gone wrong enough as it is.

I don't want Jamie to hate us. I couldn't bear it.

Look, I really do think we should go.

Tomorrow.

Sarge, it's me. Nick Rowan.

Look, I'm at the hospital. I think we've got a bit of a problem.

It must have come from abroad.

Try and get him to concentrate on contacts with animals,

possibly from overseas.

Will he be coherent enough?

He should perfectly lucid until the convulsions start again.

If they get really bad, his heart and breathing may stop.

Can't we sedate him again?

Not until we know what's caused it.

We've got to know, Kate, and there isn't much time.

Jim?

Jim, can you hear me?

Dr. Rowan.

What's happening to me?

We don't know yet.

This is Dr. Radcliffe. He's going to look at you.

Jim.

Am I going to die?

You must keep calm so we can try and find out what this is.

Now, I need you to think back.

Have you been bitten by any animals recently?

No.

Not that I can remember.

- Well? - They're sure of it, Sarge.

Well, how can they tell? Don't they have to do tests or summat?

Apparently not.

He's got all the symptoms. Dr. Radcliffe's seen it before.

Alright. Do we know where he got it from?

No, not yet.

He doesn't remember being bitten by anything.

You can catch if a dog just licks you.

So as far as we know, Swaby, he could have caught the disease

from any animal he's touched in the last six months?

Well, that's about it, Sarge.

But it does tie in with one or two other things that's been happening lately.

Such as.

Well, something's getting at the wildlife in this area.

We had blamed it on foxes,

but one of Tom Gordon's beagle has been killed.

So it could be established in the wild already.

What a mess.

I remember an outbreak like this when I was a kid.

Animals the troops brought back from abroad, after the war.

Well, did anyone die then?

Well, not that I can recall. Folks were on the lookout for it.

First sign of a dog in a panic, and someone'd scream 'rabies'.

Happened in our street once.

There was this animal rushing about all over the place, great trails of saliva

and two men cornered it and clubbed it to death.

Turned out there was nothing wrong with it.

Just a lost dog that was thirsty.

But I tell you something, Rowan.

If this is confirmed, we're in big trouble.

And we just got to find out where it started.

SCREAMS IN PAIN

PANTING AND GASPING

Jim?

Jim, have you seen any animals recently?

Village dogs, that's all.

And what about wild animals? Have you been carving lately?

No. Nothing, nothing.

Have you had anything hanging round the garage?

Are you sure, Jim?

Sure... sure.

What about customers, that weren't local?

There... was a car.

- A car? - A foreign car.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A foreign car.

Opel. Opel car... which had a dog.

- It was a friendly dog. - Did you touch it?

PANTING I can't. Probably. I don't...

Have you any idea where they were from, Jim?

Abroad...

- ...a left-hand drive. - A left-hand drive.

They're... c-caravanning.

I saw the bloke in the pub.

I saw the bloke in the pub!

Thanks, Jim.

That's a great help.

GROANS

All right. Thanks, Kate.

I'll be over as soon as I can.

What is it?

It's Swaby, Sarge. He's in a pretty bad way.

All Kate got of him was a few words.

He's talking about an Opel car, left-hand drive,

caravan, and a friendly dog.

Right, we'll start a search at dawn, for a friendly dog, a caravan,

what was the other thing?

- A left-hand drive... - A left-hand drive car.

Meanwhile, you get on the phone.

You deal with Division and the local council.

And I'll try and get some sense out of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Hello.

Right! Let's go.

We can't.

Jamie's gone.

Gone?

Gone where?

To look for Sam, I presume.

Well, let's find him and get on the road.

Venner, Lowndes.

Very nice of you to spare us the time, gentlemen.

Uh Hogg?

- Lowndes? - Here.

- Is he here? - All right.

Harland.

Fagg.

Fagg?

Always late.

Wilson. Anderson.

Ventress!

Are you sure there's nothing you have to report to me?

Sarge?

You are aware, I hope, of the importance of reporting damage to police property.

Particularly when it's so damn new, it's hardly out of its wrapping paper!

Sgt Blaketon? Morning. Philip Martin, from the Ministry.

What's the latest news?

Uh well, the entire Division is checking

all camp sites and lay-bys for the suspect vehicle.

Excellent. Can we start, then?

Well come through to my office.

If nothing turns up within the next two hours,

the search widens by 50 miles.

They're standing by from Sheffield to Newcastle.

I understand the people involved were still in the area yesterday.

- Aye, so I believe. - Where was that?

At a camp site near Aidensfield. Bellamy! Two teas.

M-VZ 192. Right, Rowan. Got it.

Birley Moor camp site, it is.

Right. We'll start with a twelve- mile radius round there then.

Perhaps you'll like to brief your men on the roadblocks, Sergeant.

While I get the local council in the area to pick up strays.

And we'd better call in all local gamekeepers.

We're gonna need help with pest control.

Alright. Ventress!

Yes, Sarge?

- Ventress! - Yes, Sarge?

VENTRESS!

Yes, Sarge?!

Get on the phone to the local gamekeepers,

and check this registration with the ferry companies.

Right you lot, listen to me.

Before we set up the roadblocks, these are the regulations.

No animal to be brought into the infected area.

No animals to be removed from the infected area without a special licence.

All dogs to be muzzled, all cats to be kept indoors...

...all strays to be rounded up...

...and all feral cats to be shot on sight.

Oh, you better shut down all hunting as well.

Oh His Lordship won't like that.

No, he's not.

Oh, what's the matter?

We think he's got rabies.

What?!

Looks like someone's brought a dog in from abroad.

Now, we think this man was in your pub yesterday.

Do you remember any strangers?

It was pretty quiet yesterday.

Oh, there was a man in.

His name's on the notice by the board. He's lost his dog.

Oh, my God!

Can I use your phone?

Yeah.

Ah, I've got it. Right, thanks.

Well, the roadblocks will be sealing off the area by now.

Can you ask your superiors to get on to the Army base for manpower?

We'll need to organise sweeps in the woods in the district.

Any luck with the gamekeepers?

Well they're meeting up at the Aidensfield village hall at midday.

Now, what I want you...

Sarge? I've got a response from the ferries.

The car was brought in by Major Michael Halstead from Germany.

It was an Opel Rekord.

Sounds like a sweet.

What's up?

Claude, do you know he should be wearing a muzzle?

I know a few coppers that could apply to.

You can't take him out of the area.

It's all okay, I'll be bringing him back.

You won't be bringing him back cos you're not taking him out!

It's serious, Claude. Now, come on. Turn it round.

Yeah. And if I find out who did it, he's gonna get gelded!

Morning, Nick. What's up?

- We've got an outbreak of rabies. - Eh?

There's a retriever on the loose.

All animals are quarantined within 12 miles radius of Birley Wood.

That's where your dog was killed, isn't it?

Aye. I was down there again this morning.

Did you see anything?

Well, the pack caught a fox.

- Is that unusual? - Very.

But if it was sick or injured...

Well, this retriever's been on the loose for 3 days.

So the fox could have been infected?

They all could be.

But that means my pack could be carrying it!

Well, make sure you muzzle them and keep them inside.

How's it passed on?

Saliva, usually.

It has to get into the bloodstream somehow.

Talk to your vet about it.

If I get any news, I'll let you know.

Right.

RATTLING STOPS

Nurse!

Call Dr. Radcliffe, quick.

Max! Max. Bring the dog in now, immediately!

So when d'you expect him, Gina?

Well, he didn't say when exactly. He just said it'd be quite early.

D'you think he's left the area?

No, not without his car.

We've got people up at the camp site.

So what's going to happen?

To Halstead?

No, I mean round here.

It's not a good time to be a stray dog, George.

Is it true about Swaby?

Yeah, afraid so.

Claude, there's a meeting at the village hall today

for all the gamekeepers in this area.

Might be a good idea for you to be there.

What as? Target practice?

They need a bit of help, Claude.

I'll have a large Scotch.

That's him!

Morning.

Major Halstead?

Yes, that's right.

PC Rowan, Aidensfield Police.

We have reason to believe

you've breached the Importation of Dogs and Cats Order, 1928.

Would you mind accompanying me to Ashfordly police station.

Well.

That's that.

We did everything we could, Kate.

I just hope we're not going to have an epidemic.

Major Hallstead.

Halstead.

Do you know why you're here?

Yes, I do.

So, you admit the offence?

Yes. Yes, I do.

To be perfectly honest, it's a relief.

I'll need you to make a statement.

Did you tell him about Swaby?

No, Sarge.

Uh, what's that?

A man has just died of rabies in our local hospital.

Half an hour ago.

You may remember him, Major.

He used to run the garage in Aidensfield.

He sold you some petrol.

Well, I'm sorry.

That's hardly the point, is it?

Well, there's nothing wrong with our...

Are you saying that our dog...

It's not exactly an everyday occurrence in these parts, Major.

Right. We'd best get you to a doctor... and your family.

Where are they, by the way?

But they're still out, looking for the dog.

Well, why didn't you say so before, man?

Rowan, get out there, start looking for them.

And you'd better start praying they don't find it.

Delta Alpha 2-4. Go ahead, Sarge.

Rowan, Mrs. Halstead's turned up at the roadblock on the Strensford Road

but the boy's not with her.

So get yourself over there and see if you can find out where he's gone.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

- And Ventress! - Yes, Sarge?

You'd better get outside too and see if you can find him.

Take the new car.

Only this time, try not to wrap it round anything!

Yes, Sarge.

How soon will you know if I'm infected?

About a week, but you will have to be tested again in ten days.

Will I have to have the injections?

Almost certainly.

- All of us? - Yes.

I've heard about 'em, ma'am.

Not sure if my wife will be able to stand it.

Believe me Mr. Halstead,

any course of injection is better than what Jim Swaby went through.

- How do, lads! - Hi!

You know you're entering a quarantine zone?

North Riding Council. We're the dog-catchers, mate.

Mrs. Halstead's here.

Have you told her anything?

No, I thought I'd leave it to you.

- Mrs. Halstead? - Yes.

PC Rowan. Do you understand what's going on?

No, I don't! That man won't tell me anything!

Is my husband all right? Is it my son?

Your husband's been arrested.

He brought a dog into this country from Germany.

We were going to have it quarantined as soon as we were settled.

Your dog is almost certainly rabid.

It's already caused one death. Now, where is your son?

He's out here somewhere, looking for the dog.

He could be anywhere.

Where did you last see him?

I think he was going to take a look in those woods.

- That's where I was going. - Right.

BARKING

GROWLING

Alright, there's no need to push! Here, hold me gun.

Alright. Come on, come on, give us it here.

How's it going, Claude?

All right. Hey, who do I send the bill to for this lot?

Have you got many more to do?

No. This is the last.

Oh, come on then, you can give me a hand.

Hey, I'm nearly an old age pensioner, you know!

Sam!

Sam!

Here, Sam!

GUNSHOTS

Here, Sam!

Here boy! Come on.

GUNSHOTS

Hello, Sam. Where have you been?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Good boy!

Hang on, hang on. There's somebody moving.

Where?

Behind that wall.

Jamie!

GROWLS QUIETLY

Sam?

Are you hurt?

He bit me! I felt it. He bit me!

Don't touch the dog, Jamie.

- I've got to get him to a vet! - Come here, come here!

What are you doing? I've got to get him to a vet!

No! No! No!

- Sam! No! No! - Jamie!

Claude, stay with the dog. I'll send someone over.

How long's that gonna take?

Well, I don't know.

Jamie. Come on. Jamie. Come on!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, son.

Tom Gordon's beagles killed a fox this morning.

- That means nothing. - I heard Tom say so myself!

- That's a pack, all probably rabid! - I'm shooting nothing!

Well, I don't know what are they waiting for.

We can't take any chances with something like this.

One of them dogs could get loose.

Now, that's enough of that, John!

If the authorities won't,

we should get out there and finish 'em off ourselves!

While we can.

I'll have no talk of lynching anyone or anything, not in my pub!

You just leave these matters up to those that understand them.

There's a man dead, George!

Aye, and there'll be another soon!

And a lot more! Wake up to what's going on.

- You've got a gun? - Yes, I have.

Wait there. I'm going to radio my sergeant.

Delta Alpha 2-4 to Control.

BLAKETON: "Control receiving. What is it, Rowan?"

The dog's been shot, Sarge.

I'm in Birley Woods. I've got Jamie Halstead with me.

He's been bitten.

Now, where should I take him for his inoculation?

Let me call the doctor. Out.

Where are they now?

"Birley Woods."

Tell them to wait there.

I'll find out where Dr. Rowan is, with the vaccine, and call you back.

Excuse me. Something's come up.

- Ashfordly Police. - Hello, this is the Aidensfield Arms.

- George? - Give me Sergeant Blaketon.

What the hell is going on down there?

...Aidensfield Arms!

RADCLIFFE: "Kate, can you hear me?"

Yes, James. What is it?

They found the boy and the dog, but the boy's been bitten.

Where are you now?

"I've just collected the vaccine."

"About three miles out from Pickering."

"I'll tell them to meet you at the ford on the Strensford Road."

- "You know the one?" - Yes, I do.

"Kate, inject the globulin as close to the wound as you can."

"Rowan, the ford on the Strensford Road, she's heading there now from Pickering."

Right. On our way, Sarge.

Right, come on, Jamie. On you get.

Ventress!

Uh, no, no, Ventress, we've found the boy.

Listen, just get down to the Aidensfield Arms now.

There's some kind of riot going on.

Hello, Jamie. I'm Dr. Rowan.

Can you show me where you were bitten?

Alright. I'll give you an injection, and then we'll get you to the hospital.

They shot my dog.

I'm sorry.

Right. Well, I wanted to speak to you together

cause what I have to say concerns you both.

Now I know that you both knew the quarantine regulations

regarding the importation of animals into this country.

As a result of this,

you can expect a fine of £300.

However, I've spoken to my superiors and their decision is

that you, Major, will be charged...

...but you won't.

But, Sergeant, it was my fault.

Just let me finish.

That was their decision, not mine.

If it was up to me, you'd both be charged, with manslaughter.

Between the two of you, you've caused the death of a good man

and jeopardised the life of your own son.

We've found him, by the way.

Thank God!

He's in hospital.

Hospital, why?

Well, he's been bitten, so they've started injections immediately.

You'd best go to him.

He'll be in a lot of pain.

Thanks to the two of you.

What will happen to Halstead?

Well, he'll probably get a fine.

And the papers'll tell everyone what an idiot he's been.

It's the boy I feel sorry for.

If we're lucky, we'll have caught him in time.

Doesn't do Jim much good.

You couldn't have known, Kate.

I should have known!

That's what doctors are for.

To know things that other people don't.

It doesn't exactly happen every week, does it?

Let's leave it, eh?

KNOCK AT DOOR

Now what?

Hello, Nick.

What have you been up to?

I got into a fight at the pub.

Alf, you've left the handbrake off.

What handbrake?

Nick! Nick!

Come on, give us a hand!
