Heartbeat
Why do you miss when
my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat
Why does a love kiss
stay in my memory? ♪
(LAUGHS)
How about that then?
Oh, good fishing, Claude!
Told you, didn't I?
A bit of local knowledge
beats all your praying.
Let's go.
GROAN UNDER WEIGHT OF THE FISH
ROLLING STONES:
"PLAY WITH FIRE"
Well, you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me
- Aidensfield police.
Cos you're playin' with fire
Your mother, she's an heiress
Owns a block in St. John's Wood
And your father'd
be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me
Cos you're playin' with fire ♪
Hello, love, I thought
I'd missed you.
"It's reassuring to
know that you care."
But that is not the way to
answer a police telephone!
Yeah, I know, sarge. Yeah.
Yeah, I've had a word
with Greengrass.
We're going to be seeing how
the cliffs are falling down too.
Sometimes, people
houses fall into the sea.
And we might find some fossils.
That'd be interesting.
They've got them in
a museum if we don't.
I'd rather catch some robbers
or some smugglers.
A bit more difficult to spot.
They leave clues.
Mr. Rowan must have told you.
Yes, he has.
Has he caught a lot of
robbers this week?
No. It's been a quiet
time for robbers.
I'd like to help him someday.
I'm getting very good
at finding clues.
I'm going to be a policeman.
Did dad tell you?
It's very hard work.
Oh, I won't mind that.
Jennifer, why am I upstairs
waiting for you to go to bed
while you're down
here nattering away!
Susan's asleep already.
I was just going to tell Kate about
the man who lives over the road.
He's a smuggler or a spy.
I'm not sure.
Mr. Rowan would know.
No more smugglers
and no more spies.
I want all your attention
on nature study.
That's what this trip's
all about tomorrow.
Now, come on, long
day tomorrow, bed!
I bet policemen don't
have to do nature study.
Umm, yes, they do.
You see, there are
poachers to catch as well.
That's true.
RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PLAINCHAN
Stay there.
(CHANTS)
Trout tonight?
Aye, Mickleby Beck.
No, no! They're only half the
size of fish in Easington Dam.
I know. But it could be
a bit dodgy up there.
Constable Rowan has been
giving me the gib's his warning.
So there'll probably be
a gamekeeper about.
Is poor sport if there are
only fish to outwit, eh?
Kak dyelo, tovarishch?
You have fine town!
Fine harbour!
Fine beer!
More pub!
Everything is not "great".
That's not the right answer at all.
It goes, "I'm managing alright,
but I miss you terribly."
Well, that's what I meant.
Anyway, when I asked you how
you were, you just said "I'm fine"
and gave me this patients!
Yeah, but I'm the one
who's away from home.
I need reassurance.
And I don't?
I phoned you!
That's pretty reassuring.
Take care, then.
"You, too."
I wish you were here, Kate.
I wish I was.
But I've got early surgery tomorrow
and then I'm due at the hospital.
Hmm. Night, then.
Night, then.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
"Night."
I'm gonna have an early night.
Got a hard day's fishing tomorrow.
See you in the morning.
- Good night.
- Night.
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Yes, I'm a doctor.
I'm sorry, I can't
quite understand.
Can you speak a little
more slowly, please?
He's dead?
All right, all right,
we've seen you!
Where to?
You're out late, my friend.
Sorry to stop you, Father.
There's some poachers about.
They've been up at Islington
Woods two nights running.
Bold fellows, eh?
Well apparently they
drove in here tonight
get some fishing
and drove off again.
I don't supposed you pass
anything on the road?
Right. Well, I'll leave you
to get home then, Father.
You're out late yourself.
Hmm. A monk goes
where he is sent.
Good night, then.
Good night.
You did well there.
I'm proud of you.
Tragic thing,
that some men seek to possess
the beasts of the earth,
birds of the air,
the fish of the rivers and
the seas for themselves
when God created them for us all.
It's our duty to resist such
blasphemy in our own small way.
Apart from the cut on
the back of your head
and a bit of bruising on
your face, you're fine.
The report of your death
was greatly exaggerated.
Someone is dead?
No. No-one is dead.
In particular, not you.
I know this already.
Yes, well, your crew seemed in
some doubt when they called me.
Drunken pigs!
I'll let the policeman
he's not needed on board.
Policeman?!
This ship is territory of Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics!
I already have enough with
Customs trying to poke his nose!
Don't worry, he's
still on the dockside.
I really did think I was
going to find a corpse.
Would still be Soviet corpse.
I'll leave you to it, Captain.
Try not to walk into any more doors.
Is heavy door. To keep out sea.
Thank you!
Get off now!
This is where we turn round.
Turn around!
Go back.
Cannot go back!
PRESSES BUZZER
(SHOUTS IN RUSSIAN)
THE BEATLES:
'YOU CAN'T DO THAT'
I got something to say
that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking
to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down
and leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
Well it's the second time
I caught you talking to him
Do I have to tell you one
more time I think it's a sin
I think I let you down
and leave you flat
Gonna let you down
and leave you flat
Because I've told you before
Oh, you can't do that
Everybody's free
Is there a problem, sir?
- London.
- Eh?
Is where? Far?
Oh yes, mate. Very far.
Russian.
Oh, I see.
You help. English police.
Vladimir Ivanov. Me.
Please. KGB, they kill me.
You give political asylum.
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
There you go.
Right,
I'll just get some basic details.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Now, where is it you've come from?
Political asylum, yes?
Yes. That's gonna be for
other people to deal with.
Milk?
Yeah.
That's tea.
No milk.
Where have you come from?
Soviet Union.
When? Yesterday?
Last night?
Please.
Come on.
This isn't getting
us anywhere, is it?
We go.
He says he had to fight off the
captain and crew to escape.
He knew that if they'd stopped him
he'd be taken back to Russia
handed over to the KGB.
Pryamo v Moskvu,
pryamo na Lubyanku i potom
An organisation which
dispenses retribution
without inconvenience of justice.
Ya ne znayu,
kto ushibsya mozhet byt
Byli kak sumashedshiya -
borozhilsya za zhizni ya ubegal.
He doesn't know if
anyone was hurt in the fight.
Perhaps, he felt his own
life was at stake, so he ran.
Now free. Now democracy.
Alright Father, I'm gonna have
to take him into Ashfordly.
Now, I'm sure Sergeant
Blaketon could do
with some help on the
translation front, too.
Of course. But first we eat.
You are hungry?
Uh no, not for me, thanks.
I've had breakfast.
Our friend might
like some, though.
There is plenty.
Fish has to be eaten.
Krasivaya forel.
Such beautiful trout, eh?
Anyway, smugglers sail all over the
sea from Holland to France at night,
so the police can't see.
And they have accomplices.
There's one in our road.
I'm going to get his fingerprints.
That will be dangerous.
You have to have fingerprints if
you're going to tell the police.
Dennis, Jennifer, do you think
we can leave international crime
and concentrate?
Come on, children,
it's time to move on.
I bet smugglers hide here, too.
He could be frightened
to come and catch them.
Jennifer! Dennis!
Come on, catch up! Come on.
Right, before we call in Immigration
and Uncle Tom Cobley and
all from the Home Office,
I like you to ask Mr. Ivanov if he's
sure about what he's doing.
Ti uveren shto ti khochesh
pokidat Rossiyu?
Yes. I ask for political asylum.
Ya vrag kommunizma.
Lyublyu kapitalizm!
He say he is enemy of communism.
Long live capitalism!
Oh, I think we'll gonna
need a bit more than that.
I'm not quite up to scratch with all
the ins and outs of a political asylum,
so could you ask Mr. Ivanov
why he's asking for it?
Oh, and could you ask him
why he thinks he's in danger.
Of course.
Serzhant skazal pochemu ti
khochesh politicheskii priyut?
Moy korabl shpiyonskoye sudno
radiolokator ochen ochen sekretnii.
He says on spy ship.
With radar equipment.
It is top secret.
PHONE RINGS
Yes?
Bellamy, I'm in the middle
What?
All right, well tell him to hold on.
I'll take it out there.
There's someone on the phone
claiming to be a fisheries officer
from the Soviet Consulate.
They're trying to trace
a missing sailor.
The fact that the Russians are
phoning round police stations
pretending they've very
carelessly mislaid Mr. Ivanov
seems to indicate to
me that they are worried.
So until we can hand this
over to the funny squads,
the fewer people who
know he's here
Sergeant Blaketon?
Yes.
Fillingham. Immigration.
Middlesbrough.
Oh, right.
Come straight through.
Quite a turn-up, eh?
Would you like to go through?
Absolutely.
This is Mr. Ivanov.
And Father Sergei,
who's translating for us.
I am pleased to meet you, sir.
Yes. Well, I'm afraid we're unable to
provide a Russian speaker ourselves
at such short notice.
I must ask Father Sergei
about his bona fides.
His bona fides?
Yes. He is actually
Russian, I assume?
(LAUGHS RAUCOUSLY)
Of course he's Russian!
If we could just step outside
a moment, Sergeant?
Stay where you are, Rowan.
Yes, sarge.
Kto eto? Sekretnaya politsiya?
He wants to know if Mr. Fillingham
is from secret police.
Immigration, that's all.
We don't have secret police.
Immigratsiya.
Sekretnaya politsiya, nyetu.
Chepukha!
He is sceptical, Constable.
Aren't you?
He's a priest at a Russian Orthodox
church in Bradford.
And when did he leave Russia?
A long time ago, by all accounts.
Look, if he's running a communist
cell up there on Stonecross moor
I don't think Moscow will consider
him one of their great successes.
No-one said anything about
a communist cell, Sergeant!
Well, under the circumstances, if no
other Russian speaker is available
Yes?
I understand that the
ship you were on
is actually monitoring NATO
shipping in the North Sea?
Tvayo shpiyonnoye sudno
slushit NATO korabli?
Yes.
Can you tell me something about
the radio equipment on board?
Mozhesh opisivats radzio
i tak dali na korablye?
Is nuclear.
For speak with
Yaderniye podvolniye lyudki.
Nuclear submarines.
I'm not in a position to draw
any conclusions about Ivanov.
So, this is where I get him
to someone who can better.
He'll need to be under escort.
Well, he's hardly likely
to scarper, is he?
The Soviets will want
him back, Sergeant.
They're already trying to trace him.
Also, we don't know exactly
what his motives are.
This is a world where things
aren't always what they seem.
So if you could arrange for Mr. Ivanov
to be taken to an address in York
The Immigration Office?
I think we need to
remember, Sergeant,
this could be a matter
of national security.
I'd like to have a few words with the
doctor who went on board the boat.
Oh, that'll be Constable Rowan's wife.
She's at the surgery in Whitby.
Good.
We'll need to arrange for
some plain-clothes officers
to keep a watch on the boat
until more suitable personnel
can be brought in.
Well, if you want to find
out what's on the boat
why not just send in
some of your blokes?
It's like a Test Match, Sergeant.
It may suit us to know
what they're up to
without them knowing that
we know what they're up to.
Well, we only play our cricket
one way in Yorkshire.
To win.
And if the Russians
are up to something
they'll assume that Ivanov
has already told us, won't they?
They may know we know, Sergeant
but they won't necessarily know
we know they know we know?
Softly, softly, Sergeant.
These commies are no fools.
Oh, for a man who been
planning to defect for years,
he doesn't look very pleased.
He thinks he's being taken
to KGB headquarters.
The worst he's got to fear
is the content of a
Civil Service tea trolley!
All he's got to do is
tell them the truth.
Ah, yes. The truth.
I wonder what that is?
Do you think he was lying?
I'm only the translator.
"When they phoned Kate from the boat,
they told her the captain was dead."
"He must have been knocked out
during the fight trying to stop"
"our friend here jumping ship."
He is dead, yes, Captain Melnik?
No, no, he's alive.
Very well.
Got a bump on the head.
Yes. Dead.
No, no, he's not dead.
He's fine.
I have to toilet.
Oh, there's a garage in Danby.
About 10 minutes.
Cannot wait. Toilet now!
You'd better pull in.
Has Kate been spending some
time in Whitby this week?
Yeah two nights. Back tomorrow.
I wish my wife'd spend a
couple of nights in Whitby.
Then I could join
the darts team again.
What's he doing?
Here, you'd better see.
I'll start her up, comrade.
Thanks, Alf!
Ivanov?
Wait a minute.
Don't go too far yet.
Wait a minute.
Come back.
Now, follow me and take
care and no straggling.
This way.
You couldn't catch a
real robber, though.
I could.
I'd chased him, and then,
when he was cornered,
I'd get Constable
Rowan to arrest him.
- Who's he?
- My friend.
Jennifer, are you coming with us?
Come on.
No one told us to treat
him as a prisoner, sarge.
I thought the whole idea was
he wanted to be in England.
The whole idea was to take him
to York and get him off our hands.
Well, I reckon he was frightened
of that bloke Fillingham.
I'm sure he had no cause.
But you two have every cause
to be very frightened of me.
A transfer to the KGB in
Siberia would be a doddle,
let me assure you of that.
He won't get far, sarge.
Inspector Murchison is of the
opinion that he's got far enough.
Fylingdales Moor.
What do we have up there?
A damn, great early-warning
radar installation.
Now Mr. Fillingham has gone
to consult his superiors.
Inspector Murchison has
gone to warn the MoD
that there's a Russian
radar expert on the loose.
And the Chief Constable no doubt
will be expecting a full report.
So I think you two,
in the meantime,
should get out there and find him!
(BOTH): Yes, sarge.
I want everyone to make sure you
take all your litter home with you.
All your bits and pieces,
all your sandwich wrappers.
And when we start the walk,
I want you all to make sure
that you stay on the path.
Is that clear?
Have everybody got that?
I'm going to start the walk in a moment,
so can you all gather around.
I want tell you a bit
more about fossils,
about the kind of things I want
you to look for in the woods.
I was called to see the captain.
He'd regained consciousness
by the time I got there.
Claimed he'd walked into a door.
Yeah, well he wouldn't
want to admit the truth.
I reckon there'd been a fight.
Cause they were trying
to stop a man defecting.
I don't know about that.
From the smell of alcohol, they'd been
drinking all day and half the night.
I wouldn't have trusted any of them
with anything more sophisticated
than a bottle opener!
Yes well, they don't exactly make
themselves conspicuous, Doctor.
Well, I certainly hope we train
ours better, Mr. Fillingham.
Make sure you're counting
all the different flowers
that you see on the
way like I told you to.
Oh, come on, Jennifer, cheer up!
It's true. Someone stole it!
Jennifer, we've asked everyone else.
Nobody's seen your lunch box.
And I'm sure no one
would have taken it.
You must have lost it.
A robber. Or a smuggler.
They hide here and the
police can't find them and
Jennifer, that's enough.
I've had enough of that nonsense.
You made it up.
I bet you don't know
a policeman at all.
I do!
Look!
My sandwich wrapper!
Mrs. Aspinall says we
mustn't go off the path.
Come on!
What are we going to do?
Follow him. And when we find
his hideout, we'll get the police.
Come on!
He can't be far.
You've been saying
that for about an hour!
"Delta Alpha 2-1 from Control."
They've found him.
Delta Alpha 2-1, sarge.
"Have you got him yet, Rowan?"
Uh no, Sarge. We've searched these
moor and now we're moving on.
"You have to call it off for the moment,
Rowan. We've got an emergency."
"Two kids missing along the coast
in your vicinity. School trip."
"One of them's Dr.
Radcliffe's daughter."
Right, sarge.
I'm tired and cold.
I'm going back.
Mrs. Aspinall going
to be really cross.
She won't be cross if we catch him.
We'll get a reward.
I don't care.
Quick!
Arghhhh! Help!
Help!
Right, you lot, gather round.
Now group one will
move north up the coast.
Group two will move south
towards Scarborough.
Now, we think the kids could be
lost in a short radius of here
and they might be injured
and we've got four
hours before dark.
So off you go and
keep your eyes peeled.
Argh!
What's wrong?
My leg!
Lie still.
I'll shout for help.
Help!
Help!
Help!
I'll go down to the harbour
and wait for him.
Can you collect Susan?
Yes.
I can't believe it.
You collect Susan
and look after her.
If James knows she's alright, then it's
one less thing for him to worry about.
The surgery?
Cancel it.
Put a notice on the door
and arrange for all emergencies
to be transferred to Dr. Turner.
James will want to
be with the search.
Ah! It's still hurting.
Come on, you can make it.
Any news?
We've only just together.
We'll find them.
I'll come with you.
Well, you might be
better off staying here.
We've got search parties
going off in all directions.
I can't just stay here.
I've got to do something.
Let him go.
Oh, we're gonna need
somebody back here.
We don't know they
are on the cliffs.
I'll be here.
James!
BEACH BOYS:
'SLOOP JOHN B'
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I want to go home
Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I want to go home
The first mate, he got drunk
And broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to
come and take him away
You help me! Please, help me!
What's up?
Is police, they look for me.
Everywhere, police car, policeman.
I am innocent Russian.
Police do bad thing.
Police bad. You believe me?
If you want an argument, pick
another subject. Get in.
Come on. Come on.
They can't have got
much further than this.
Well, we're covering every direction.
What if they're down there?
What if she fell?
I was out there all morning
enjoying the waves!
There's no need to think the worst.
There's a thousand
places she could be.
Doctors are supposed to be
good at putting on a brave face.
They do it all the
time for other people.
I had to do it for Jennifer and Susan
when I found out their mother was dying.
I can't go back and tell
Susan that her sister
I can't do that!
James, we're not going to
find them standing here.
A bit further.
RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PLAINCHAN
They're at it.
Is not good in Soviet Union.
Communist Party not like.
No, I prefer summat with
a bit of a tune to it myself.
I'll wait for you out here.
(CHANTS)
(RESUMES CHANTING)
CAR DRAWS UP
The tide is coming in fast.
Now, we'll have to rely on
what we can see from up here
and what the lifeboat
can see from below.
Well, we can't expect them
to come in any closer.
I reckon we've got about two hours.
FOGHORN
That's for us, sarge!
They must have found them!
They're on a ledge just below us.
Just above the beach.
Rowan, stop him!
Are they all right, sarge?
Well, they're down there, somewhere.
Dr. Radcliffe's jumped over the top to
get to them and Rowan followed him!
We need some more
climbers down there!
Oh, don't worry, we're all right.
The cavalry's arrived!
Jenny!
Daddy! I don't know what to do!
Dennis won't wake up!
Just hold on darling.
We'll be straight down.
He won't wake up!
Is he dying?
Don't worry.
We'll soon have him in hospital.
Thank God you're both safe.
I'm sure your dad'll
make him better.
Now he has run away.
He cannot go back.
He told them he had defected
and that will mean
very serious sentence.
Where's that, Siberia?
We have a saying in Russia.
When I was a boy,
it was said of Tsar's police,
now the same of
communist police.
If they are feeling generous,
the sentence is death.
What if they're not?
Is still death.
It's a Russian joke, huh?
Zdyes zaklyuchayut menya.
A yesli ya vozvrashchayu
Nyet, eto nye verno.
I tell him English police
won't put him in prison.
I wouldn't gamble on that.
Not if he's got up
Blaketon's nose!
I want to go home.
I have prayed for this.
And we need help from police.
You what?
Boat is being watched.
MI5, MI6, CID.
Fillingham said it.
So we need policeman
who is friend.
Nick Rowan.
He's alright,
but he's still a copper.
We drink
to clear our heads.
What's going to happen
about your Russian?
Well, I'll have to go out
tomorrow and look for him.
Hardly seems worth it.
You try telling that
to our Mr. Fillingham.
I did.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
So what did happen on that boat?
Well, I reckon the whole lot of them
have been trying to drink Whitby dry.
Which is about as much as they can
manage in the way of sabotage.
The captain has been
in some sort of brawl.
Probably with whatshisname?
- Ivanov.
- Yeah.
And because they were so drunk
they thought he was dead.
So Ivanov probably thought
he'd killed the captain
and made a run for it.
And the spy ship?
What spy ship?
PHONE RINGS
Ah! You go.
No, it's your turn.
Aidensfield police.
Yeah?
Where?
Right, yeah. Okay.
Thanks, Claude.
On my way.
You're not going out again, are you?
Yeah, I have to, I'm afraid.
Ivanov's turned up. Coming?
All lies, because he thought
he had killed Captain Melnik.
Captain Melnik, my friend.
My comrade.
So all this stuff about
radars and submarines
He made it up.
He thought it was a good way
to stop you sending him back.
I'd love to see Fillingham's face.
Now he is frightened
British Intelligence
will not believe he is lying.
All he wants is go home.
Home. Russia.
Or British KGB get me.
Oh, he's not going to find it very
easy getting back on the boat.
It's being watched.
Anyway, the Russians
think he tried to defect.
That's not going to go
down very well, is it?
That part we attend to here. Here.
We take him to the
ship in the morning.
I tell them he's been on
drinking bout for two days.
He can remember nothing
except that he drank
more than any capitalist.
Na zdorovye!
ALL: Na zdorovye!
And you will get him on the ship.
Eh?
If not, he is lying.
So he is sent back
as failed defector.
- Mr. Fillingham.
- G'morning.
Morning.
I assumed you'd be out looking
for Ivanov, Constable,
after yesterday's debacle?
You think he might turn up here?
Don't know who's gonna
turn up here yet,
but these Soviets aren't
here for their health.
Neither of you are exactly
assisting me in my surveillance.
Sorry. We'll leave it to
the professionals, eh?
Goodbye, Mr. Fillingham.
Goodbye.
Plan B.
Will James be ready?
He'll be there.
Just as I thought.
The priest was in it
from the beginning.
Should we let him go on board, sir?
We want the whole team,
not just the opening batsman.
What if he's planning to slip
anchor and head for Mother Russia?
No, he won't.
The priest is the sleeper.
He'll stay put.
The other one's waiting
for him to come back.
So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
let me go home
I want to go home
Let me go home
Hoist up the John B sail
I feel so broke up
I want to go home
Poor cook, he got the fits
Threw away all my grits
Then he took and he
ate up all of my corn
Oh, let me go home
Car leaving quay. Follow for now.
Repeat, follow.
Goodbye.
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on
Hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sets
Excuse me, sir!
My car, flat battery.
We need push.
That's you and your friend
Mr. Fillingham!
Ah! Bit of luck now!
Small push all we need.
I am taking you in for
questioning, Father.
