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

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

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

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

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

I know it's small, but it's
what she's always wanted.

Now, this is the sitting room,
sliding doors into the garden.

Very posh.

I'll be doing all the
carpentry myself, of course.

I'd best get back to work, Alf.

Aye, and me.

Soon as these subcontractors arrive.

They've got all this modern machinery,
going to do the cesspit in a day.

Sweet sweet, the lemons you gave them.

You can't beat the lemons you gave them.

Take one fresh hand and lick it.

Sweet sweet, the lemons you gave them.

Have one spoon and lick it.

One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy.

Memories are made of this.

Can't beat the lemons you gave them.

Don't forget the small moonbeam.

Can't beat the lemons you gave them.

Don't hit lightly with a dream.

Your lips and mine, two sips of wine.

Well, now.

Now, I thought you were supposed
to be at home in bed with measles.

I'm better now, Mr. Hutton.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

Does your mother know you're here?

I thought so.

Well, you'd better get
home then, hadn't you?

I mean, you don't want
to wallop in, do you?

Hold on.

All right.

Hand in, or you can grab.

That hand gets bigger
every day, doesn't it?

Right, in your pocket, and off you go.

I'll tell you what.

I think you'd better come and
help me in the shed tonight.

I'm planning to take up the
track and do a whole new layout.

I can't do a thing without
me top engineer, can I?

Off you go, then.

Hi, Mr. Hutton.

Hello, Colin.

Right, set, three, two,
both of us together,

one, each end, and
steady as we go.

Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it.

We was getting nowhere,
and so we had a cup of tea.

And right, set, three, give us up, Charlie.

Up comes Charlie from the border zone.

After straining, heaving, and
complaining, we was getting nowhere.

And so we had a cup of tea.

Charlie had a think, and he thought
we ought to take off all the angles.

And the things what held the
candles, but he didn't know good will.

And never thought he would.

All right, set, three, two, and...
Left your dinner in the office.

Colin's been down, hasn't he?

Andy came around the house, first thing.

It's a nuisance.

Alexandra, answering the door a
few times is not going to k*ll you, is it?

Ah, morning, Mr. Rowan.

Mr. Hutton, Maddow's Kirk
station had a break in last night.

A departure board and a lamp this time.

I heard.

Yeah, we don't want
Aidensfield to be next on the list.

It won't be.

All them thefts are up to the branch line.

The one that Mr. Beechin and his
clever dicks is going to shut down.

Yeah, it's a shame.

Not a shame, Mr. Rowan.

An act of pure, unmitigated folly.

Yeah, well, if you
can keep your eyes

open, I'll make sure
you look up at night.

Aye, right-o.

Here she comes.

Dead on time.

Tell you what, Mr. Rowan,
maybe Dr. Beechin

nicked that stuff
from the other line.

All right, said Frank,
climbing up a ladder

with his crowbar,
gave a mighty blow.

From a city in
trouble, half a tonne of

rum all landed on
the top of his dome.

So Charlie and me had another cup of tea.

Melon!

And then we went home.

Phew.

Morning, hon.

Oh, I don't know, Maggie.

The other two down
with measles, the head

off sick, and this one
disappearing when he

should be eating his breakfast.

High time you were back
at school, you remember.

Oh, no, it's a quarter to .

Go on, Joy, I'll see to her.

Oh, thanks, Rita.

Good luck with the perm.

Come on.

Hey, what's up with you, Colin?

You don't want to miss sports day, do you?

Don't remind me.

Get back into bed and
keep those curtains closed.

Nurse is coming up.

There I was, digging his
hole, hole in the ground.

So big and sort of round it was,
and there was I, digging it deep.

It was flat at the bottom, and the sides

were steep when along comes
this bloke in a bowler, which

he lifted and stretched easy.

Oh, he looked down the
hole, hole, he meant it so,

and he said, do you mind
if I make a suggestion?

You, be careful.

Why don't you go and direct some traffic?

,

Hello, Joy.

I'm on my own, Eileen.

The head would be off on sports day.

Come on, just tell me what to do.

Katie can help.

Ooh, teacher's pet.

Smugs.

Hello, Eileen.

Hey.

Katie, I thought you were
watching the boys racing.

She's going to help
hold the finishing tape.

I think I've hit some foundations.

Used to be a pig farm
before the w*r, you know?

Get a get up in there
and lift the bucket

up, see if we can
see what's happened.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

David!

David?

Quick!

It's OK.

Get me out before it goes off.

What is it, Mr. Greengrass?

It's a flaming b*mb!

Go and get help!

Alfred, go on!

Get out of it!

Go on!

Ashfordly police.

A b*mb in a cesspit.

And Claude Greengrass
is trapped on top of it.

Pull the other one.

Hello?

Hello?

Go on, quick!

Mr. Greengrass is stuck on the b*mb!

Leave it alone, son.

Look, go on home.

There's a good boy.

Alfred, Alfred.

Alfred, go... Alfred, go home.

Hey, get him out before
he starts this thing off.

Has that been moved, Claude?

Yeah... yes!

Well, don't just go... hey!

Hey!

Leave it alone, will you?

Get the Royal Engineers on the line, Phil.

Nick?

What's happening?

Well, Mr. Greengrass is going to die!

An exploded b*mb.

If they don't hurry up, it'll go off.

Keep calm, Claude.

It's probably a false alarm.

I've got to get out!

I've... I've...

They won't be here for
at least an hour, Nick.

So what am I going to do with Greengrass?

Well, he's got to keep absolutely still,

and you've got to clear
everybody back yards.

All right.

Thanks, Phil.

Right, now we've got to clear the
immediate area while we wait for the army.

Can you stay with him so he doesn't move?

I can try.

I'll be back as soon as
I've cleared these houses.

I've got to get out!

He... Claude Jeremiah Greengrass,
will you stop being such a baby?

Keep still.

People tell me there
ain't no use in trying.

Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty.

And one thing I know
is true... We need to

move everybody back
to the end of the road.

Would you please just pay me?

Well, there's two kids
upstairs with measles.

This is serious.

There's a b*mb.

Watch my daddy in bed and cry.

Watch his hand, it turns gray.

He's been working
and slaving his life away.

Oh, yes, I know.

He's been working so hard.

It's not what you think, Mr. Rowan.

And it's not what he thinks either.

There's a b*mb out the
back of your garden, Sergeant.

We need to evacuate the house immediately.

A b*mb?

I've never felt such a
problem in all of my life.

Well, if we can't put the neutralizer
on in minutes, it'll be ruined.

Yeah.

We gotta get out of this place.

Everybody.

All right.

Thanks, Maggie.

Those Ellis kids are up there.

All right, I'll go for them.

It weren't my fault Mr. Rowan.

The digger broke, honest.

All right, David.

Shh, be quiet.

What?

I think it's ticking.

No, it's not.

How long are they going to be?

About half an hour.

Claude, even if this is a
b*mb... What do you mean?

Of course it's a flaming b*mb.

It's been here for
years without going off.

What makes you think
it's going to go off now?

That's how they are, ain't it?

One went off up on the
moors and k*lled three sheep.

All they found was some
bits of wool and a foot.

Everybody for the three-legged race.

Line up, children, quickly.

How told you to lose.

A little wee.

By heck, Claude, you are in a pickle.

We're supposed to be
keeping this area clear.

And we're wondering about sandbags.

George.

We always use sandbags in the Home Guard.

Why don't you make
yourself useful and

take Alfred and this
one somewhere safe?

How about sounding the sirens?

I used to be air raid warden, you know.

Come on, Alfred.

I knew it.

I knew you couldn't be trusted.

First right, sir.

I've never seen anything like this.

I'm going to get him off
without the whole thing shifting.

Well, there's nothing here, sir.

It was definitely moved, was it?

Yeah.

Right, gentlemen.

It's a b*mb, I'm afraid,
and a big one, too.

kilograms.

It's not ticking yet.

That's not to say that it won't start.

So our immediate priority
is to get our friend here off

so that we can start work on it.

Contact base and tell them
we need the crash crew.

And if your lot can handle
the civilian evacuation...

Yeah, we've already moved
everyone back yards.

And it's to be , yards
minimum with a b*mb this size.

Well, that's the whole village.

Afraid so.

There's enough expl*sive in there to
blow the whole place to smithereens.

Katie and all the kids
are up on the sports field.

Come on, clear off.

Please, don't you leave me.

I've got to go, sir.

All right, Claude.

I'm staying with you.

That's all I need.

I've been in some holes in me
time, and this takes the biscuit.

Don't light one of them up.

Where's Nick?

Nick, what can I do?

We've got to evacuate the village.

This German b*mb...
Well, the whole village.

From the railway station
up to Blacksmith's Corner.

Everyone within , yards of this b*mb.

We said there was another b*mb.

Right.

Somebody!

Hello?

Somebody!

Anybody.

Sandra!

Sandra, we've got
to go to the station,

tell your husband
to hold the next train.

We can take everyone out of that, Claude.

Yeah.

Tina, go to the police
house, phone the convent,

see if we can use that big haul of theirs.

Can you... Well,
the air raid's siren.

Well, go on, Sandra.

And you better stay out there as well.

We need someone to man the phone.

You can take my bike, all right?

OK.

We better get that school moving.

Come on.

Right.

See you around, my boy.

Sarge.

I've had to go to Aidensfield
due to unidentified UXB.

Get them down the
station as fast as you can.

Phil will organize the parents.

We can't go till you're quiet, children.

Oh, no, what about the other two at home?

What if Rita hasn't got them out?

Oh, look, if you're at all
worried, go home and make sure.

But I can't leave this lot.

Of course you can.

I can manage.

I've got Constable Bellamy to help me.

Now, look, go with Nick.

Right then, let's go.

Come along now.

Shoo!

Shoo!

That's it.

Come on.

Right, now,
Mr. Greengrass, we're going

to lift you, but we
mustn't move the b*mb.

Well, we all know that.

But how do you... I've already
told you, my foot's jammed.

Try and calm him down, will you?

Officers.

When you move in
right up close to me,

that's when I get the
shakes all over me.

Quivers down the backbone.

I got the shakes down the knee bone.

Yeah, the tremors in the thigh bone.

I'm going to die, you know.

I'm going to die.

Oh, hell, yeah.

And I'm not even made of will yet, either.

Need you out now, Constable.

Hang on a minute.

I want everything to go to my daughter.

Daughter?

You haven't got a daughter.

I have, in red car.

Just write down that she takes Alfred.

inside of me.

Quivers down the backbone.

I got the shakes down the thigh bone.

Keep moving.

Yeah, the tremors in the thigh bone.

Don't panic.

Don't panic now.

Don't panic, children.

Ignore the silly old man.

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

Don't panic.

It's a bit tight.

A bit careful how you're pulling that.

I've got a bad back.

Here, I thought you told
us you were a commander.

I didn't say I was a braver.

A bit of a... Check this, lad.

Yeah, we know that.

Check the string, lads.

Oh, ah.

Just be a bit careful.

Not too fast.

All right.

Hey, hey.

Oh, hey, oh.

Keep moving.

I got a tremor in my thigh bone.

Oh.

Ah.

Shake it all over.

Pick the string, lads.

Steady.

Press.

And not before time.

Steady.

Oh, I feel like a lost
Turkey in the window.

It's going to be all right.

It's going to be all right.

All right, come on now.

Come on.

I don't want any more, Santa.

Get up.

I don't want to stop.

That's everyone.

In, in, in.

All right, Mr. Hutton.

Good luck, Phil.

Right, all set then.

Oh, dear.

Come on, stand up.

I can't stand up.

My legs are gone dead.

Be careful.

Who's in charge here?

Right, the name is
Blaketon, and this is my patch.

Get back, everyone.

She's ticking.

What does he think he's doing?

What are you, Smith?

A complete wimp?

I was trying to warn the civilians, sir.

Well, get the S set, and for God's sake,

try and pull yourself together,
or you'll be out of my team

before you know what's hit you.

Bad news, I'm afraid.

The delay fuse has started ticking.

You mean it's going to go off?

Well, it could continue
ticking for as long as hours.

Or it could go off straight away.

You never can tell.

But what about my digger?

Sorry?

I don't want it leaving
there if that thing's going off.

Never mind your ruddy digger.

What about my building plot?

I'll need you to
get everyone right

back, Sergeant,
including that clown there.

That's nice, isn't it?

Close to death, I've been.

Yeah, and you're still out,
so shut up and move yourself.

Right, I want all these vehicles
right back at the end of the track.

Now, no need to panic.

S set, sir.

Right.

And how are we about to use it?

Immunize the fuse with salt solution, sir.

Right.

Get back on your listening station.

Yes, sir.

Oh, by the way, sir, Smithy's
off out bopping tonight,

and he was wondering if
you could make it a bit snappy.

Bopping?

Dancing, sir.

Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run.

Don't give the farmer his fun, fun, fun.

He'll get by without his rabbit pie.

So run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run.

Dad, will you be sensible
and get in with Claude?

Never.

Those Germans didn't
get me in two world wars.

They're not going to get me now.

All right, now, George, follow me.

Keep in full order, that's it.

Now, we'll go right
down the end of the room,

and then I'd like you all to come
and sit down here on the floor.

All right?

Oh, this is very good
of you, miss... mother.

I mean, all this, short notice.

Sorry, but I've never
had measles, you know.

It's putting me at risk, this.

Nearly an old age pension.

Good afternoon, Mother Superior.

Uh, these are the children I rang you
about, Mother Superior, for sick bay.

And, uh, this is Mr. Greengrass.

He's had a very nasty experience.

He's in shock, and he needs a bath.

I'm not in all that shock.

I had a good wash down last week, honest.

A hot bath and a change of clothes.

Come along.

, , , , , , , ,
, , , ... should be .

Who's missing?

Who isn't here, children?

Can anyone tell me?

Yes?

Colin Ellis.

Well, has anyone seen Colin?

No.

Oh, joy.

Have you got Colin with you?

No.

I left him with you.

How long has he been missing?

All right, I'll go and have a look.

Hold on.

Hey!

What do you think you're playing at?

I thought you were up at the convent.

I came back for the cat.

The cat?

Sandra, that bonger girl is any moment.

Come on, Sandra.

You get on.

Leave it to me.

What am I going to do?

He was never at the station, Miss Leroy.

I mean, I'd have noticed.

Him and me, we're like pals, you know.

I've got this train
set at home, you see,

and I let him come
in and play with it.

Where is it?

It's in me shed.

But he wouldn't get in there.

I always keep it locked.

Right.

Oh, I just had to stop your wife from
going back home to rescue the cat.

Ah.

Well, that's women for you.

Go away!

Is the door unlocked?

I don't know!

Oh, no.

Hey, hey, hey!

It's no good you trying to hide.

If I'm having one, you're having one.

How's it going?

She stopped, sir.

Right.

Let's get cracking.

What's happening?

Can I ring the missus
and tell her it's OK now?

Oh, it's not over yet, mate.

This is the tricky bit of
screwing the bass plate.

Oh, I could go off any minute.

Hello?

Is that Whitby?

Yeah, it's Gina phoning
from Nick Rowan's again.

Listen, we've got a child missing,

and we need every spare man
you've got out with the search.

Yeah, in the b*mb area.

Yeah, I know.

We're having a bit of a day.

Yeah, OK.

All right, ciao.

Sandra missed the train up to the
convent, so I've brought her up here.

Hiya.

Go and sit down, Sandra.

You look all in.

Colin?

There's no sign, Sarge.

It's all locked up.

Colin!

Mrs.
Edwards, are you sure he didn't have a key?

No.

But if he's not here, where is he?

Well, out next door.

I'll try the next one.

Colin!

Colin!

Sarge?

We have a corpse found
in suspicious circumstances,

and we need to start our investigations
while we still have the evidence.

Well, it's a corpse, isn't it?

It's not going anywhere.

It'll keep.

Not if it gets blown up by your b*mb.

The last thing I need are hordes of
CID men marching around the place.

No, the body stays where it is.

Excuse me.

I don't believe this.

Yes, but Sarge,
what he's saying is he

wants to get the
b*mb off my plot first.

Your plot, Ventress?

The least said about your plot, the better.

Oh, terrific.

Two gallons of Nitroglycerin at least.

That's about pounds of powder.

What the hell's that smell?

Ammonia.

Nitroglycerin. The expl*sive's decomposed.

Well, what happens now, then?

Well, you may well ask.

Well, we can't steam it out
because it's heat-sensitive,

and we can't exactly explode it
because it's in the middle of a village.

We'll have to get this stuff
out by hand, I suppose.

No dancing for you tonight, Smithy.

Last one we had like this took hours.

hours?

One, two, three, four, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve...

Can I have a word, Phil?

Alf?

It looks like that b*mb
could take hours.

So this lot could have
to stay here the night.

Why's everyone going to sleep?

What about the toilets, Alf?

I'm sure that'll be organized.

Jean is having a word with
Civil Defense about camp beds.

At Blaketon, he wants
you back in the village now.

It's a gloomy night, Gina.

What a mess, eh?

Sandra, I've got your
husband in the office.

He's about to come through.

Come on, Joy.

There's men out looking for Colin.

We'll find him.

And now, Sandra,
when we were looking for

young Colin, we had
to search your house.

And we found a body.

A man's body.

Any idea whose it might be?

No.

You're quite sure?

Yes.

Where was it?

On our bed.

And now we can't do anything
until they've dealt with that b*mb.

But once they have, you'll
be asked if you can identify it.

Your husband's seen it already.
He was in the house when we found it.

You were in the house?

Aye.

I told him.

I didn't know the man from Adam.

I told him I'd never clapped
eyes on him before in me life.

What's going on, Sandra?

You tell me.

So I'll have to find them a generator.

Generator, Sarge?

Lights, Ventress, lights.
Use your loaf. Hang on.

This generator business, er... I
think we'll leave you to it. Ventress?

Permission to go back and
take a till on the b*mb coff?

It's not up to you, Smithy.

I've done it in training.

Take it easy.
You don't have to prove out to me, lad.

You're up to him, though, don't you?

Just watch yourself, eh?

- Any luck with Colin? - No.

And no joy with the Huttons either.

But according to Rita
Sterling, Sandra's got a lover.

A lover?

Well, that's it. That's the motivation.

What did I tell you, Ventress?
It's a creme passionel.

All his cars parked outside their house.
A black Morris Minor.

Not a word about this to anyone.

We'll get a confession out of
Hutton before the CID arrive.

That'll take the smile off their faces.

Ventress?

Hello?

Colin, you in there?

Colin?

What are you trying to do?
Is he all blown up?

I thought you could do with a hand.

He must be mad.

Won't clear off before it infers he's you.

Good luck, then.

As good as done anyway.

Colin?

Colin!

Sarge?

Colin?

Colin!

Well, well.

Colin?

What are you up to, Greengrass?

I was just on my way home.

I didn't fancy staying
in a nunnery all night.

Watch this, then, eh?

And what have we here?

Doing a spot of looting,
were we, Greengrass?

The old dog daft.

Ventress, search his pockets.

Maddow's Kirk station
had a break-in last night.

A departure board and a lamp this time.

I heard.

Yeah, we don't want
Aidensfield to be next on the list.

It won't be.
All them thesaurods for the branch line.

The one that Mr Beeching and his
cleverdicks is going to shut down.

What did they do?

In the car.

Ventress?

It's the ambulance.

Over here!

Bellamy!

Phil, are you all right, lad?

Hang on, lad. You'll be all right.
We'll get you sorted.

I told you they wouldn't get me, didn't I?
I told you.

Silly old fool.

Look at me digger.
It's not insured, either.

Where's Nick?

He's in there looking for Colin.

Colin? Nick?

Nick!

What is it? It's Nick.

He was in there when the b*mb went off.

Come here, you duffer!

Sarge!

He's there.

Hold on, Nick. Colin!
Colin, are you in there?

Well, give us a hand.

Here. Here. Come on.

Come here. Come here. Let's see.

Let's see. Come on, boy.

Come here, son. Come here.

I've got you.

Well, Constable Rowan,
at least you're in one piece.

There we go. There we go.

It's ruined, Mr Horton.

The train set's ruined.

Don't you worry, son. We'll mend it.

The two of us, together.

So what was he doing in Roy Hutton's shed?

He heard the siren, thought
it was for him and hid.

They couldn't get out cos
someone padlocked him.

Poor little lad.

Anyone hurt?

A young sapper.

Just heard he died in the ambulance.

So... who was he? A fancy man?

Come on, Sandra, you can't
make things worse than they are.

Well, Mr Hutton, you may as well tell
me what happened before CID arrive.

I think I might be more sympathetic.

I can tell you, Nout.

CID?

Why the CID?

They think I m*rder*d him.

What?

No.

It was his heart.

He had a weak heart.

It's all right, Mrs Hutton.

He was waiting for an operation.

When the police came
round about the b*mb,

he thought that Roy
had found out about us

and he'd just collapsed.

Doctor always said a shot might k*ll him.

Oh, no.

I knew he was feeling ill and
I'd just left him there to die.

What am I going to do, Roy?

Oh, yes, that's right.

Bury your head in the sand.

It's just flaming
railways with you, isn't it?

And your stupid train set.

I'm going to get it!

Hey, Ventress.

Go away, Claude.

You know that I told you
about the will and that?

About your daughter in red car?

If it's all right with you, I'd
like you to forget all about it.

Right.

Oh, and about the pay for the day's
work that me and David did for you.

You know.

I'll send you an invoice.

Thanks, Eileen.

What for?

Well, everything, really.

Especially today.

You were a hero.

Hello, Alf. Come in.

She says it's my fault.

Who does?

Mrs Ventress.

She doesn't want
anything more to do with it.

With what?

The bungalow.

She's not so sure about me, either.

Oh, dear.

So I wondered, er...
