00:00:29Let's go.
00:00:59Let's go.
00:01:29They're foreign.
00:01:31What do you mean they're foreign?
00:01:33There's two five pieces.
00:01:34They're not foreign.
00:01:35I suppose they might have given me them on the bus.
00:01:37Have you got 10p?
00:01:38A 10p?
00:01:39Well, I haven't looked.
00:01:40Oh, I dropped it.
00:01:42I'm so sorry.
00:01:43Oh, thank you very much.
00:01:44Oh, my bus ticket.
00:01:45I mustn't lose that.
00:01:46There's 10p.
00:01:47I'm ever so sorry to keep putting it in there.
00:01:49Thank you very much indeed.
00:01:50Well, I don't want that now, dear.
00:01:51Thank you very much indeed.
00:01:52I've got everything.
00:01:53I've got everything.
00:01:54You're right.
00:01:55There's a bridge there.
00:01:57I've got everything.
00:01:59I've got everything.
00:02:00I've got everything.
00:02:01I've got everything.
00:02:02There's a bridge there.
00:02:04Oh, my God.
00:02:34Oh, my God.
00:03:04Dry. Yes.
00:03:06You specifically said dry, Dora.
00:03:09It's on my list.
00:03:11Dry, sweet, what's the difference?
00:03:14Come in.
00:03:15A trifle is a trifle is a trifle.
00:03:18Well, bung some brandy into it.
00:03:20Nobody will know the difference.
00:03:22All right. All right, I'll pick some up.
00:03:25Some cream?
00:03:26Yes.
00:03:26What?
00:03:29Well, later rather than sooner, I'm afraid, Dora.
00:03:32Yeah.
00:03:34But Christmas play and have good cheer.
00:03:36Christmas comes but once a year.
00:03:38And you spend the rest of the time paying off the credit cards.
00:03:41Not me, sir.
00:03:42Credit cards, sir.
00:03:44I never use them.
00:03:45Oh, what about those impulsive little luxuries that suddenly catch your fancy?
00:03:49Sir?
00:03:51You don't mean to say that you don't succumb like the rest of us?
00:03:54Never, sir.
00:03:55If I want something, I save for it.
00:03:58Yes.
00:04:01Quite.
00:04:02Sergeant Willoughby says, can you come through, sir?
00:04:06There's a girl coming and says someone's taken her baby.
00:04:09Well, it sounds to me as if someone's just found it.
00:04:11Well, that's it, sir.
00:04:12Someone stole her baby and left another one in its place.
00:04:19Just keeps saying it's not hers.
00:04:22Keeps on repeating it.
00:04:24What's your name?
00:04:26Er, Bond.
00:04:28Mrs.
00:04:29What's her particular?
00:04:30Says her husband's a garage mechanic, so in his notice.
00:04:34If I get word to him, or I'd better get a doctorate.
00:04:38Or a good psychiatrist.
00:04:44Ready to repair your lungs?
00:04:45I want it taken away.
00:04:48Shall we talk first?
00:04:50I don't want it near me.
00:04:51I do.
00:05:05I suppose you think I'm some kind of nutter, too.
00:05:12Any reason why I should?
00:05:17You have children.
00:05:19Is it important?
00:05:20Yeah.
00:05:21Two girls.
00:05:23About your age?
00:05:25That's not my baby.
00:05:26I didn't notice at first, until it started crying.
00:05:32Then I knew.
00:05:33Where were you?
00:05:34In the high street.
00:05:35Shopping.
00:05:36There was this queue.
00:05:38Where?
00:05:39That big news agent.
00:05:41I was at Woolworths.
00:05:42I only left her a minute.
00:05:45Less than a minute.
00:05:48There were plenty of people around.
00:05:50I thought that...
00:05:51You thought it'd be all right?
00:05:53Yes.
00:05:55Yes.
00:05:58When was this?
00:06:00A few minutes ago.
00:06:0120 minutes ago.
00:06:04I came straight here.
00:06:07And any other children?
00:06:11What's your baby's name?
00:06:13Karen.
00:06:15Karen April Bond.
00:06:17Age?
00:06:18Three months and two days.
00:06:21Colour of hair?
00:06:23Red.
00:06:27Same as the baby you brought in, then?
00:06:32Here.
00:06:38A child benefit book.
00:06:40With her name, Karen April Bond.
00:06:45Dear Pippa.
00:06:46From my mother-in-law.
00:06:48Looking forward to you coming again.
00:06:49Enclosed also the picture of Karen Dad took at bath time.
00:06:58The baby out there is a boy.
00:07:01I spoke to the manager at the garage.
00:07:08Bond left for home before.
00:07:10Right.
00:07:10Good shot.
00:07:26Tug, love.
00:07:27It was great.
00:07:27Get on to welfare.
00:07:38Tell them to find a nursery.
00:07:40Check all the hospitals, local and regional,
00:07:43plus all the baby clinics and the registrar of births.
00:07:45Oh, and Sergeant Willoughby, pull everybody in on this one,
00:07:48including all those on leave.
00:07:50And that includes you, Sergeant Martin.
00:07:52Sir?
00:07:55It's not unheard of, a mother rejecting her child.
00:07:59Yes.
00:08:00I was halfway to thinking that myself.
00:08:02My mother, Mrs. Carter.
00:08:24Mrs. Carter?
00:08:25My sister.
00:08:27Rines.
00:08:29Susan.
00:08:31Karen's auntie.
00:08:33Mr. Bond?
00:08:33I don't understand.
00:08:38How could anyone do such a thing?
00:08:40I didn't see her this morning.
00:08:42I usually get her up, feed her and that.
00:08:45It's a hard time.
00:08:47The only time we have together.
00:08:50This morning I was running late.
00:08:51You all, er, you all live here?
00:08:57No.
00:08:57I live on Chambers Avenue.
00:09:00We're on a list.
00:09:01A housing list.
00:09:03Why?
00:09:04Why take a baby and replace it with another?
00:09:06It's no good looking for a logic.
00:09:08Whoever did it is obviously a weirdo.
00:09:10It's going to be a woman.
00:09:12Perhaps someone who, er, wants to get rid of her child,
00:09:16but needs to have a child.
00:09:18I think we'd got that far.
00:09:19Your baby was wearing pink.
00:09:22Perhaps she wanted a little girl.
00:09:25Or perhaps her child was difficult, always screaming.
00:09:29And she thought she'd swap it for one, er, that wouldn't scream.
00:09:32Either way, a nut, like I say.
00:09:35Her own child was well cared for.
00:09:39She'd probably do the same for Karen.
00:09:40Assuming she's not married to some maniac child-beater.
00:09:43You just have to do it, don't you?
00:09:49Well, has anybody shown any interest in the child?
00:09:52You know, in the street, a neighbour.
00:09:55Anything above average interest.
00:09:56People come up to you sometimes, ask how old she is.
00:10:00Small talk.
00:10:01Anyone with a baby themselves?
00:10:03I don't know.
00:10:04And you're certain you've never seen this other child before?
00:10:06There was someone, last Saturday, in the supermarket, at the cash-out.
00:10:13A woman, well, a girl.
00:10:16She had a pram.
00:10:19We was doing the weekend sharp.
00:10:21She was behind us in the queue.
00:10:23Yes, she said something about her, she always cried.
00:10:26And I said we got off light, and we never got a peep out of Karen.
00:10:31Can you describe this woman?
00:10:35I barely looked at her twice.
00:10:37Brown hair.
00:10:41Ordinary, you know.
00:10:43How about the pram?
00:10:45Or the baby?
00:10:46You think it was her?
00:10:47Well, it's a possibility.
00:10:49Or, as you say, might just be small talk.
00:10:53Have you seen the woman again?
00:10:55Near the house, or in the park?
00:10:58While you were out with the baby?
00:10:59Women always gas on about babies.
00:11:02Whenever and wherever.
00:11:05It's the big event of their lives, isn't it?
00:11:09Do you have a child, Mrs. Reince?
00:11:11She's divorced.
00:11:13If that's relevant.
00:11:16The sister's got a chip.
00:11:18Oh, you noticed.
00:11:20Childless women get that way, don't they?
00:11:22You think it's a female prerogative?
00:11:24The desire to appropriate?
00:11:25Well, you said it yourself.
00:11:27It's going to be a woman.
00:11:28She may be worth a visit.
00:11:30What, her own niece?
00:11:32Well, where did she get the baby for the swap?
00:11:34Maybe that's part of it.
00:11:35She snatched him first, and then did the swap.
00:11:37Throw us off.
00:11:38Well, she hasn't thrown us off, has she?
00:11:40And all that venom.
00:11:41Well, it hardly made her inconspicuous.
00:11:43Besides, nobody else has reported a missing lady.
00:11:46Well, it doesn't have to be local.
00:11:47Oh, there's no logic in it, Mike.
00:11:50Instinct isn't always your prerogative, you know.
00:11:55Not sure about the other thing, either.
00:11:57About the baby being well cared for.
00:11:59I mean, your typical baby snatcher loves babies.
00:12:01Yearns for one.
00:12:02That's why she takes it.
00:12:04But if your theory's right, this one's already got a baby,
00:12:06and she dislikes him enough to hand him over to a stranger.
00:12:09She doesn't care for her own baby.
00:12:10She's not going to care for a substitute, is she?
00:12:17We're on our way.
00:12:40I got you people in to advise me on security,
00:12:48specifically for that purpose.
00:12:50Well, I'm afraid a professional can get around
00:12:51the more sophisticated systems.
00:12:53Now he tells me.
00:12:55Steward control, they immobilized the outside alarm
00:12:57and then cut off the electricity when they got in,
00:12:59which did for the inside one.
00:13:01Have you got an electric clock anywhere?
00:13:04As long as we can set the time of the robbery.
00:13:06Oh, yes, there's one on the cooker.
00:13:08It'll be last night sometime.
00:13:11We were in London overnight.
00:13:13Christmas do at my old firm.
00:13:15What was in the wrappings?
00:13:17Martha!
00:13:20Wife's department.
00:13:24What was in the wrapping paper?
00:13:252.42am.
00:13:27The clock.
00:13:28Oh, thank you.
00:13:29Our grandchildren's presents.
00:13:32They're coming to stay for Christmas.
00:13:34It's the very first time since my daughter was married, that is.
00:13:37So I wanted to make it very special.
00:13:40What were the presents?
00:13:42One of those compact things.
00:13:45A compact disc player.
00:13:47That was for Giles.
00:13:48And then there was a computer.
00:13:50I believe it plays games.
00:13:51That was for Mark.
00:13:53And then an electronic keyboard for Zoe.
00:13:55She's very musical, you see.
00:13:58All interest-free credit.
00:14:03Night's too late to replace them.
00:14:06They come down tomorrow.
00:14:07Well, they're not coming for the presents, are they?
00:14:08They're coming to see us.
00:14:10But children expect presents at Christmas, don't they?
00:14:14It's what they remember you for, isn't it?
00:14:16Oh, I'm sure they remember you for other things as well.
00:14:18Not if they barely know you.
00:14:36Thought I heard the car.
00:14:39You forgot to wrap this.
00:14:40Not a present.
00:14:41It's Robyn's.
00:14:43Your grandson.
00:14:44Sylvia and he arrived this afternoon just after we spoke.
00:14:48Isn't it lovely?
00:14:49Oh, dry.
00:14:52I'm sure they were busy this Christmas.
00:14:54She's changed her fans.
00:14:58Thing ain't come to?
00:15:00Neil's with his mother.
00:15:01His father's ill, apparently.
00:15:03Sylvia thought it'd be better if she and the baby came here.
00:15:10It's time you laid eyes on him.
00:15:14The baby.
00:15:16Oh, I look forward to it.
00:15:19Nothing from Sheila?
00:15:21Oh, she's had to cancel.
00:15:23They're doing a special matinee over Christmas.
00:15:25It's for charity, apparently.
00:15:27I thought charity began at home.
00:15:31Oh, take a note from me.
00:15:32I'm tired.
00:15:34Christmas.
00:15:35Oh, probably for the best anyway, now that Sylvia's come.
00:15:38Give you a chance to make up for lost time.
00:15:40Not that there's any making up to do.
00:15:49Did you eat?
00:15:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:51I grabbed something.
00:15:55Oh.
00:15:57I'll go up then.
00:15:57Gone a bit over the top, haven't we?
00:16:05Well, it is Christmas.
00:16:07And how.
00:16:07What's this one from me to John?
00:16:16Skelectrics.
00:16:18Well, that's what we agreed.
00:16:19From both of us.
00:16:20There's another one there from you.
00:16:26It's just a token.
00:16:27Yours is the biggie.
00:16:29To make up for all the absences.
00:16:31Oh, come on, Jean.
00:16:32Well, the children notice them, even if you don't.
00:16:34Buying them off isn't going to change that.
00:16:36Whatever gives you that idea.
00:16:38I rang mom.
00:17:03She said we should pray.
00:17:11Can't do any harm.
00:17:18You pray.
00:17:20You think it'll do any good.
00:17:22You think it'll do any good.
00:17:52Do any good.
00:17:55Do any good.
00:17:59I don't have any good.
00:18:03You talk.
00:18:15Mr. Sometime.
00:18:16Mr. Sumter.
00:18:17Mr. Humter.
00:18:22What time did you get back?
00:18:34I didn't. I don't live here. We're separated.
00:18:36All very amicable, gentlemen.
00:18:38We intend to achieve that rare phenomenon.
00:18:41A divorce without tears.
00:18:43And since it's Christmas, we thought we should be together for Robert.
00:18:46The baby.
00:18:48And you got back at what time?
00:18:49Uh, well, around three.
00:18:51The police were here already.
00:18:53That's the absolute worst nightmare coming in to find a place crawling with police.
00:18:56Well, love.
00:18:58It was, uh, you who called the police?
00:19:01We have been through all this already.
00:19:03Different department, darling. The others were uniform.
00:19:06I didn't think they were night shirts.
00:19:08What was under the tree?
00:19:10Oh, things for the baby, mostly.
00:19:12Uh, computerized play center thing I sent out to the States for.
00:19:16Uh, musical box, which plays everything from Madonna to Mozart.
00:19:19Clothes, construction kit I picked up in Denmark.
00:19:23Um, that's a miscellaneous assortment of soft toys.
00:19:26My wife never does things by halves.
00:19:28On the contrary, I'm getting rather good at it.
00:19:32Was there anything else?
00:19:33An electric train set.
00:19:35Dropped it off last week.
00:19:36It was under the tree, I take it.
00:19:37Well, where else?
00:19:38You saw them as they went?
00:19:41Sort of saw them.
00:19:43Well, one of them.
00:19:44The light wasn't on.
00:19:45I want you to pop down to the station.
00:19:48Have a look at a few pictures.
00:19:49What about the baby? I'm expecting it at the office.
00:19:51For heaven's sake, I'll stay with the baby.
00:19:54Oh, well, I'll phone in and say I'll be late.
00:19:56This is a first?
00:19:57Well, she can bring the baby.
00:19:59It's no problem.
00:20:02Drink, gentlemen.
00:20:03Oh, no, thank you.
00:20:05No, I think that we've, uh,
00:20:07had quite enough of the Christmas spirit.
00:20:10Your average probates several houses in one night
00:20:12and then clears off.
00:20:14This bloke gets only one
00:20:15and then sticks around to do a repeat performance
00:20:17the night after.
00:20:18What does that tell us?
00:20:20They're in no hurry.
00:20:21Or perhaps the opposite,
00:20:23that they're in such a hurry
00:20:23that they can only do one job a night.
00:20:26So we're back to square four.
00:20:28What now, then?
00:20:29Well, for the one of anything better,
00:20:31let's follow your instinct.
00:20:41That's something I've put off as long as I can.
00:20:44Decorating,
00:20:46DIY, all that stuff.
00:20:47Oh, is that what you came to discuss?
00:20:51From a small talk
00:20:52or part of the softening up routine.
00:20:54Oh, dear.
00:21:00Trouble up around the edges
00:21:02hasn't run any code.
00:21:03There was no need for anyone
00:21:04to babysit or do anything else.
00:21:07I'll let you.
00:21:09You're known to dangle the odd rattle at it.
00:21:11I think it was my sister who sent you.
00:21:19Oh, I know all about their insinuations.
00:21:22Not that they actually say anything.
00:21:24Not out loud.
00:21:29You know, I wasn't even allowed to hold it.
00:21:33I once said, I said they'd come here and live.
00:21:36I have the space.
00:21:37I wouldn't interfere.
00:21:40They couldn't even look at me.
00:21:42They were afraid.
00:21:45Afraid of what?
00:21:50South facing, isn't it?
00:21:52The baby's nursery.
00:21:55So it gets the morning sun.
00:21:58You have no right to look in there.
00:22:01No one goes in there.
00:22:05Get him out of here.
00:22:08I want him out, out of my home.
00:22:10He had no right.
00:22:23No.
00:22:24Someone once said, kids bring out feelings you never knew you had.
00:22:37Feelings don't die, do they?
00:22:39Her, uh, baby died two years ago.
00:22:53The boy.
00:22:55It was a cop death.
00:22:56She thinks everybody blames her.
00:23:02I suppose because she blames herself.
00:23:07Her husband took the easy way, out the front door.
00:23:12I assume she wasn't preparing you for a baby.
00:23:14No.
00:23:14Easy enough mistake to make.
00:23:19Yeah.
00:23:21That's what I told her.
00:23:24Come on.
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:43Yeah.
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:47Yeah.
00:23:48Yeah.
00:23:49She's either thick or thorough.
00:24:00She's been at it an hour already.
00:24:03How about the registrar?
00:24:05Going on for over 200 baby boys born locally in the last four months.
00:24:10Hello.
00:24:10Anything?
00:24:19No.
00:24:22Well, take it to him.
00:24:25Like I say, it was dark.
00:24:27It could have been any one of them.
00:24:35You, er, stopped on this page.
00:24:40If I...
00:24:45What happens next?
00:24:48If you make a positive identification.
00:24:53Well, we'll check the evidence.
00:24:58And if it's right, we bring charges.
00:25:01Do I appear in court?
00:25:03Is that a problem?
00:25:05I lied.
00:25:06When I got the job, they wanted references.
00:25:10I made them up.
00:25:12People don't trust you with their kids.
00:25:14Not unless you're trained or you've got references.
00:25:18I needed the work.
00:25:20Well, you've proved yourself now.
00:25:23They won't think anything about it.
00:25:25I lied.
00:25:25Everybody will know it.
00:25:27Another lie and you'll be in deeper.
00:25:28This way.
00:25:33Maybe a chance to put it right.
00:25:37It was too dark.
00:25:39Sorry.
00:25:41Not good enough, Mandy.
00:25:44It was dark.
00:25:45I was frightened.
00:25:46I didn't see nothing.
00:25:55Tony Jasper.
00:25:57Isn't he up north?
00:25:58Unless he decided to come home for Christmas.
00:26:01Lies straight here.
00:26:03It's your original smash and grab merchant.
00:26:05Electronic security is hardly his usual MO.
00:26:07Unless he found a helpmate on the way.
00:26:10The nanny says there was more than one of them.
00:26:12I'll check him out.
00:26:14I seem to remember he's got a brother.
00:26:17She just stopped.
00:26:18She stopped us in the street.
00:26:20I tried to take the baby.
00:26:21I tried to lift her out of the pram, for God's sake.
00:26:23All right, all right.
00:26:24Let's just take it nice and slow.
00:26:28Name?
00:26:29What the hell's my name got to do with it?
00:26:30It's hers you want.
00:26:32We know her name.
00:26:35I kept thinking somewhere out there is my baby.
00:26:39I don't know where I looked.
00:26:41But is it them?
00:26:42They got her.
00:27:01We're doing everything we can, Mrs. Bond.
00:27:04You must believe that.
00:27:10I used to feel guilty.
00:27:13Because it seemed like my sister had all the bad luck.
00:27:17But it was there, waiting for me.
00:27:21All the time.
00:27:21Oh, did he wake you?
00:27:31You can't hold him.
00:27:33Well, why not, eh?
00:27:39Mum says he looks like you.
00:27:40Oh, my God.
00:27:59Saddling in, all right?
00:28:01Of course.
00:28:02Used to be my home, remember?
00:28:03Here, Sheila's getting her name in lights.
00:28:11Third billion in the pant of mine.
00:28:12And exactly megastar stuff.
00:28:15And to start?
00:28:16Oh, she'll get there.
00:28:18No question.
00:28:21If he looks like anybody, I think he looks like you.
00:28:24Poor thing.
00:28:25Now, why do you say that?
00:28:30What?
00:28:32Always putting yourself down.
00:28:35I didn't know I did.
00:28:36All the time.
00:28:41So what's it like being her grandfather, then?
00:28:45Terrific.
00:28:46I thought you'd get a buzz out of it.
00:28:49And grandparents can keep their distance, can't they?
00:28:52No one thinks twice about it.
00:29:05Good.
00:29:08We must today be to use his coffee.
00:29:12But?
00:29:12Do we do it?
00:29:13Oh, thank you.
00:29:21Pediatrician's report you asked for.
00:29:23Oh, thank you.
00:29:23Came through this morning.
00:29:25Anything at note?
00:29:26He's to wait.
00:29:27No signs of bruising or abuse.
00:29:29And he's had all the shots.
00:29:31Perfectly normal, well-cared for a child.
00:29:33Somebody wanted to get rid of him.
00:29:35Or simply preferred the other baby.
00:29:38Yeah, but why should she?
00:29:39We've nicknamed him Ginger.
00:29:43He's got a cry, this one.
00:29:45You wouldn't believe.
00:29:46You've caught him at a good moment.
00:29:48Always in the evening, two or three hours, flat out, four decibels.
00:29:52Come on.
00:30:03Help me.
00:30:08Help me!
00:30:10I'm sick.
00:30:11Help me.
00:30:14Help me.
00:30:14Don't get in.
00:30:15Hello.
00:30:16I'm in the living room, which is Leila Jack.
00:30:18Next door.
00:30:19Oh, thank you.
00:30:20Bell doesn't work.
00:30:21You'll have to knock.
00:30:22We couldn't know if our husband's at home.
00:30:23Well, about an hour ago.
00:30:24You can hear each other pass wind through these walls.
00:30:27Jones!
00:30:28Hi, Leila.
00:30:29Hello.
00:30:30Hello.
00:30:31Hello.
00:30:32Hello.
00:30:33Hello.
00:30:34Hello.
00:30:35Hello.
00:30:36Hello.
00:30:37Hello.
00:30:38Hello.
00:30:39Hello.
00:30:40Hello.
00:30:41Hello.
00:30:42Hello.
00:30:43Hello.
00:30:44Hello.
00:30:45Hi, Leila.
00:30:46Hello.
00:30:47Hi, Leila.
00:30:48So you've moved back home, Leila?
00:30:51Yes.
00:30:52Well, it's only with you, my girl.
00:30:55He and his brother come down for Christmas.
00:30:57Well, his brother's out now, is he?
00:30:59Last month.
00:31:00Did you want him for some'un?
00:31:02We need to know where he was on Monday.
00:31:05Well, they both won't come to that.
00:31:07Here.
00:31:08They had some mates over to play cards.
00:31:10Uh, the night before that?
00:31:12What?
00:31:13Mm-hmm.
00:31:14Same thing.
00:31:15Paying cards?
00:31:16Babysitting.
00:31:17I work evenings.
00:31:19Down at the Andromeda Club.
00:31:21Temporary, you know.
00:31:23Why'd Tony come down?
00:31:25To babysit while I'm at work?
00:31:27I didn't know that you had a baby, Leila.
00:31:31He's sleeping.
00:31:35Come and see for yourself.
00:31:39I got the idea that you and Tony weren't together anymore.
00:31:43He needs me.
00:31:45He proved that by wanting to be with us for Christmas.
00:31:48The baby's his, then?
00:31:49There's never been anyone else.
00:31:52I've never wanted anyone else.
00:31:54I said, didn't I?
00:31:57Ten to one, we'll get a visit.
00:31:59First sign of any trouble, it'll be down to us.
00:32:03Say it's a social call.
00:32:06An exchange of seasonal greetings.
00:32:08Oh, bloody heart.
00:32:11I hear you've been doing this part of babysitting.
00:32:14News travels.
00:32:15Takes two of you, does it, to look after one baby?
00:32:17I hold the nappies.
00:32:19He folds them.
00:32:22Your wife said you had mates round to play cards.
00:32:25Ted Jackson and Gavin Fletcher.
00:32:27You want their addresses?
00:32:29We know their addresses.
00:32:37Good shot.
00:32:39And you never left the flat all evening?
00:32:42Leave me home, kid.
00:32:44Some bloody father that will make me.
00:32:47I'm glad you're taking your responsibilities so seriously.
00:32:50Whatever you might think of me, Wexford.
00:32:53My kid's a different bag.
00:32:55Okay.
00:32:57Tell me why.
00:32:59Statement of fact.
00:33:02All right.
00:33:04Let me try another on you.
00:33:06Two burglaries on consecutive nights.
00:33:08We have an eyewitness.
00:33:10And an MO identical to the job that your brother pulled in Lees
00:33:13before he was sent down.
00:33:14The dual alarm system was your speciality, wouldn't it, Pete?
00:33:18I'll be fair.
00:33:19That was before he took his Open University course.
00:33:22Which was before or after you took one in child rearing.
00:33:25I can see where you're coming from on this guy's, honest.
00:33:27Just happened to be way off beam, that's all.
00:33:30Tell me why.
00:33:31It's Layla's record sheet you should have pulled.
00:33:34Well?
00:33:36Whatever she told you, I'm here for the kid, right?
00:33:39I don't want a repetition of last time, no bloody way.
00:33:44He means Jack.
00:33:46My eldest.
00:33:49So the baby we saw was your second child?
00:33:51Second child.
00:33:53Who bloody rang?
00:33:54Where's the other one?
00:33:56We had him adopted.
00:33:59She fractured his skull.
00:34:02She was shut up in the flat with him 24 hours a day.
00:34:04You know how it is.
00:34:06She said she couldn't stop him crying.
00:34:10It happens, right?
00:34:13So they put a care order on him.
00:34:15And what could I do?
00:34:17She's a good girl, Layla. The best.
00:34:20Just...
00:34:22Can't cut it with kids, that's all.
00:34:24But she still went ahead and had another.
00:34:26So what was I to do? Chop it off?
00:34:28Of course I was worried about it. Worried sick. Who wouldn't be?
00:34:31I said so, told her so, I had to.
00:34:34Next thing, directly he was born, she'd done a runner with him back here.
00:34:39Who knows?
00:34:41If I stick around, it may still work out.
00:34:44You've got to try, haven't you?
00:35:07Seems Jasper had it about right, sir.
00:35:10July 1986, Crown versus Layla Jasper, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:14Social report.
00:35:16Bruising believed to have occurred over several months.
00:35:18Fractured to the skull, result of a single blow.
00:35:21Compatible with the baby's head being dashed against the wall.
00:35:26Suspended sentence.
00:35:28Recommendation for psychiatric treatment.
00:35:30Care order on the child.
00:35:32Finished?
00:35:33Yeah.
00:35:34Oh, oh, sorry, sir.
00:35:37Regular and sustained beatings to the body and head.
00:35:41Layla Jasper.
00:35:43I always thought she was frightened of her own shadow, that one, sir.
00:35:46I think we'd better keep an eye on our second child.
00:35:49Is that a passing thought or a suggestion?
00:35:52Well, a bit of both, sir.
00:35:54Well, let's see to it, then.
00:35:56Right you are, sir.
00:36:04It's a lovely age, isn't it?
00:36:06Mm.
00:36:07I rather regret the mind of growing up, actually.
00:36:12Normal pregnancy.
00:36:14Normal delivery.
00:36:16I attended her myself.
00:36:18Everything went like clockwork until I told her it was a boy.
00:36:19She hit the roof, went berserk.
00:36:21Said she wanted a girl.
00:36:23Said she wouldn't take it home.
00:36:25Didn't feed it.
00:36:26Absolute pandemonium.
00:36:28And her name was Freeman?
00:36:29Yes.
00:36:31My husband just sat there.
00:36:32He didn't know what had hit him.
00:36:34Got the psychiatrist up to her.
00:36:35Now, this was, um, when?
00:36:37I told you a sergeant or whoever it was before.
00:36:39Four months ago.
00:36:41Give or take.
00:36:42I think we're onto something.
00:37:08Take it easy, Mike.
00:37:10Timothy, take Governor Underbuck and stop passengering him.
00:37:19How can I help you?
00:37:20Just a couple of questions, Mrs. Freeman.
00:37:22Shouldn't take long.
00:37:23Questions about what?
00:37:25You had your last child at Kingsmarker Maternity Home?
00:37:28Yes.
00:37:29About four months ago?
00:37:31Four months, three days.
00:37:32Why?
00:37:34I understand you were quite distressed after the birth.
00:37:36Very distressed that the baby was a boy.
00:37:40What on earth has that got to do with you?
00:37:42To do with anyone?
00:37:44Two days ago, a baby girl was stolen from her pram in Kingsmarkham High Street.
00:37:48A baby boy, aged around four months, was left in her place.
00:37:53What's that got to do with me?
00:37:56Those all your children?
00:37:58Yes.
00:37:59The boys.
00:38:03I think I better telephone my husband.
00:38:06Where's your baby now, Mrs. Freeman?
00:38:10Rather than disturb your husband, it might just be simpler if you showed us the sex of your baby.
00:38:14Don't you think?
00:38:15You have no right to ask me that.
00:38:17A child is missing! That gives me the right!
00:38:20Can he do this?
00:38:23He already has.
00:38:29No!
00:38:46After you have a baby, you'll have all sorts of complex feelings.
00:38:51Feelings you're not too proud of later on.
00:38:54That you'd rather forget.
00:38:55But then what would someone like you know about feelings?
00:39:00Someone like you know about feelings.
00:39:23Ironic, isn't it?
00:39:25It's your damn theory in the first place.
00:39:27One of my days?
00:39:28I'm curious, sir.
00:39:30Yes, all right. But the most plausible one.
00:39:32Still only a theory.
00:39:35So, I took a leaf out of your book and followed my nose.
00:39:38You humiliated her, Mike.
00:39:40You ran it like a bullet at the gate.
00:39:48You don't have to prove anything to me, Mike.
00:39:52We just work in different ways.
00:39:54I accept that.
00:39:55Oh, sure you do.
00:39:56You think I'm a plodder, right?
00:39:58Good old Mike.
00:40:00Slow and steady, but he gets there in the end.
00:40:02Well, it's because of plodders like me that someone like you can take your leech in the dark.
00:40:06Because we provide the safety net.
00:40:09Have I ever said otherwise?
00:40:11You saw what happened today.
00:40:13She wasn't the only one humiliated.
00:40:15Not because you broke the rules.
00:40:17But how you broke them.
00:40:18You broke them.
00:40:19That's irrelevant.
00:40:20Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:40:21Would you like a paper?
00:40:22Well, they say a combination of opposites, it's the best team.
00:40:25As long as there's mutual respect.
00:40:27You can respect a man's opinion without agreeing with it.
00:40:28And do you?
00:40:29Yeah.
00:40:30Yeah.
00:40:31You don't sound very sure.
00:40:32You don't sound very sure.
00:40:33You don't sound very sure.
00:40:34Well, they say a combination of opposites, it's the best team.
00:40:38As long as there's mutual respect.
00:40:39You can respect a man's opinion without agreeing with it.
00:40:40And do you?
00:40:41Yeah.
00:40:42You don't sound very sure.
00:40:45I'm not sure of myself.
00:40:48I'm not sure of myself.
00:40:51Oh.
00:40:52Oh.
00:40:53Oh.
00:40:54Oh.
00:40:55Oh.
00:40:56Oh.
00:40:57Oh.
00:40:58Oh.
00:40:59Oh.
00:41:00Oh.
00:41:01Oh.
00:41:02Oh.
00:41:03Oh.
00:41:04Oh.
00:41:05Oh.
00:41:06Oh.
00:41:07Oh.
00:41:08Oh.
00:41:09The difference is.
00:41:12I can admit it.
00:41:17All right.
00:41:23See you back at the shop.
00:41:39Oh, I don't believe it.
00:41:47Put up two on that, I think.
00:41:49There you go.
00:41:58I'm off, though.
00:42:00There is some juice in the fridge if he wakes.
00:42:02That should certainly.
00:42:04OK.
00:42:05No need to change him.
00:42:07I'll do that when I get back.
00:42:09Tony, I said I'll see to his nappy when I get back.
00:42:11Look, I thought you had to be there by eight.
00:42:18Take care, Benny.
00:42:34Hiya.
00:42:35What's your ex?
00:42:37Tony, you listen out, won't you?
00:42:40These nights I'll start charging.
00:42:42Joke.
00:42:56Do you know why she brought the baby here this Christmas?
00:42:58Because Neil's father's ill.
00:43:01To prove to you she'd achieved something.
00:43:06The baby.
00:43:09Oh, what arid nonsense.
00:43:13What have I ever said that she couldn't achieve anything?
00:43:15Oh, many moons ago.
00:43:18You gave a tale of two cities to Sheila for Christmas.
00:43:24If Sylvia, Heidi grows up.
00:43:27If I can remember that, so does she.
00:43:30Oh, I'm not listening to this.
00:43:32I am just saying that things like that can go deeper than you think.
00:43:39Maybe you both think too much.
00:43:42Ugh.
00:43:47Shhh.
00:43:48Shhh.
00:43:52Shhh.
00:43:53Shhh.
00:43:58Shhh.
00:44:00Shhh.
00:44:01Let's go.
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:05Shhh.
00:44:06What the hell is going on?
00:44:17You just couldn't wait, could you?
00:44:21Christmas is supposed to be about giving, in case you've forgotten that.
00:44:24Dad, all that went out when the cavemen came in.
00:44:26Besides, we've given you a present.
00:44:28And we got you one last year.
00:44:30For second-hand tie, you got your mother to buy me from the Oxfam shop.
00:44:34Mum buys all your presents for us.
00:44:36You're asking to get your bottom smacked hard.
00:44:41Go on, then.
00:44:55Yes?
00:45:04Call Inspector Workshut, will you?
00:45:05Tell him I'll meet in there.
00:45:10Just in case you get any ideas.
00:45:13Can't do that, Dad.
00:45:15It's Christmas.
00:45:16Watch me.
00:45:17You can't be put in there now.
00:45:28Come on.
00:45:29I've seen I've got to sleep already.
00:45:30Sorry.
00:45:31That car going next door.
00:45:40Has it been going on all evening?
00:45:43It's supposed to be a damn record.
00:45:44Thanks.
00:45:45Sorry, Miss Jeremy.
00:45:45Still want a power visit.
00:45:46Wild horses wouldn't stop me.
00:45:50You've got a spelling genius, Pete.
00:45:51How many R's in Harris-man?
00:45:52I've got a spelling genius, Pete.
00:45:52How many R's in Harris-man?
00:45:53One.

00:46:22Two in Warrant.
00:46:23Two in Warrant.
00:46:35See you've had a bit of luck, Pete?
00:46:49Skill, not that.
00:46:51Well, I never doubted your skill.
00:46:53You want in, Wexford.
00:46:55I'm happy to sit one out.
00:46:57Now, my skill lies in other areas.
00:47:01You did say it was two hours in Warrant.
00:47:03We've had another break-in tonight.
00:47:06No.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:09Fright's on.
00:47:10Christmas and all.
00:47:13Yeah.
00:47:14Still, one more shopping day.
00:47:18And it's two hours in a rest.
00:47:32Hello, Layla.
00:47:34What is it?
00:47:36Has something happened?
00:47:37No.
00:47:38Just checking out a few things.
00:47:41You've been here all evening?
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:43From what time?
00:47:45Eight.
00:47:46And you left her in the others babysitting?
00:47:48Yeah.
00:47:51You didn't tell us like that.
00:47:54Back to your first child.
00:47:55Not your business.
00:47:59If it puts your new baby at risk, it is.
00:48:01He's not at risk.
00:48:05He's not at risk.
00:48:07They sang, tell her to love.
00:48:10They sang, tell her to love.
00:48:13Tell her to love.
00:48:13Tell her to love.
00:48:16So,
00:48:17merry the shepherds,
00:48:19that wives can blow.
00:48:21So,
00:48:22merry the shepherds,
00:48:23that wives can blow.
00:48:26Come on.
00:48:56Come on.

00:49:46Come on.
00:49:54Half of it wrapped up at any rate.
00:49:56Matron at the nursery's been on a blower.
00:49:58Excuse me, Sarge.
00:49:59That other baby.
00:50:00Apparently the mother's made contact.
00:50:04She asked first if we had the baby who had been swapped in Kings Markham High Street.
00:50:08I said, who is this speaking?
00:50:10And she said, never mind that.
00:50:12Did we have the baby or not?
00:50:13What kind of voice was it?
00:50:14Young?
00:50:15Youngish, yeah.
00:50:16She sounded rattled, you know, anxious.
00:50:19I said, yes, we had the baby.
00:50:22And then she said, no.
00:50:24Then she asked if he was all right.
00:50:26I said, fine, that he was being well looked after.
00:50:29I asked her again, was she the mother?
00:50:31She didn't answer.
00:50:33She just said, if he cries, sing to him.
00:50:37She said, there's this one song always sends him to sleep.
00:50:40She said she didn't know its name, so she hummed it.
00:50:49It's Brahms's lullaby.
00:50:51My kids had to wind up musical boxes when they were babies.
00:50:54Mr. Drunk was crazy.
00:50:56Anything else?
00:50:57I tried to tell her the baby needed his mother.
00:51:00I said, if she was the mother, to come in and see him.
00:51:02I'd see she was sympathetically treated, all that.
00:51:05She hung up.
00:51:07Half an hour later, he went into one of his blue rages.
00:51:10I sang him the song.
00:51:12Within seconds, he was asleep in my arms, good as gold.
00:51:15Who else would know a thing like that, except a mother?
00:51:27Who else would know a thing like that?
00:51:29I'll take that.
00:51:31I'll take that.
00:51:54I haven't wrapped it yet, have I?
00:51:58Tell me.
00:51:59A bite wouldn't go amiss.
00:52:02Yeah, all right. Eggs or what?
00:52:05The works. I'm famished.
00:52:19Certain thoughts. Maybe later.
00:52:21He's due for a feed, isn't he?
00:52:30We don't want any interruptions, do we?
00:52:32What's it doing?
00:52:35That's right.
00:52:37It's going to be good.
00:52:38I'm going to poke it in a bowl.
00:52:41I'm going to put it in a bowl.
00:52:43I like it.
00:52:44I'm going to plug it in.
00:52:47You can call me the milk.
00:52:50I'm going to get my milk.
00:52:50I'm going to add the milk.
00:52:52I'm going to add.
00:52:56Every day.
00:52:58Hot water.
00:52:59We're going to be taking a cup.

00:55:17took down
00:55:17on the face
00:55:19of Stephen
00:55:19Christmas
00:55:37cruel
00:55:38Well, Ash.
00:56:06In here?
00:56:08Mum's next door on the sherry and mince pie circuit.
00:56:15Hello.
00:56:17Where's my favourite pie?
00:56:19Hello.
00:56:33What have you been doing?
00:56:34Oh, wrapping presents, the usual.
00:56:36You?
00:56:38Unwrapping burglaries.
00:56:40Try and do.
00:56:41Oh, how about the baby swap case?
00:56:43Mum told me about it.
00:56:45Well, the little girl baby was found in the harby.
00:56:48She's back with the mother.
00:56:50The other one?
00:56:51He's in the council nursery.
00:56:56Tell me, this maternal instinct, does anything to it?
00:57:02I mean, does it exist?
00:57:03Oh, yes.
00:57:04Well, in a way.
00:57:06Not in a soppy, sentimental way.
00:57:09It's more a protective thing.
00:57:11The lengths you know you'd go to to protect your child.
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:16Yes, that's what I thought.
00:57:19Oh.
00:57:20And the paternal thing?
00:57:23Or is that more an acquired skill?
00:57:26Well, the person who's usually closest to a child is the mother.
00:57:33The father often stays on the outside because it's the one I intrude.
00:57:41Particularly with a daughter.
00:57:47It's not as complicated as you think, you know.
00:57:51Like a lot of families, we divide it into two halves.
00:57:55Me and Sheila.
00:57:59And you chose your mother.
00:58:01Only because you and Sheila were so exclusive.
00:58:07Well, we both got it wrong then, didn't we?
00:58:12There's no blueprint for it, you know.
00:58:16Oh.
00:58:17You just do the best you can.
00:58:19And hope that it's good enough.
00:58:24Whatever you do, your children will undoubtedly tell you that it isn't.
00:58:32He keeps their eyes on his hands.
00:58:34They never leave his sleep.
00:58:36He keeps it up.
00:58:37He keeps it up.
00:58:38Yeah.
00:58:39Yeah.
00:58:40Right.
00:58:41How about a quick note then?
00:58:42Just one, dude.
00:58:45And those.
00:59:06There goes the family breadwinner.
00:59:22Detective Sergeant Martin.
00:59:26Yes, WPC Maynard.
00:59:28To tell you the truth, I'm hoping to join your lot.
00:59:33CID, all that.
00:59:34Not now.
00:59:36Later, you know.
00:59:38Is that right?
00:59:39Loads of women do it, don't they?
00:59:43So rumour has it.
00:59:45And I was told that cadet school had a real aptitude for detective work.
00:59:50You know, one of the instructors actually told me that.
00:59:55Fancy.
00:59:57So I was wondering, next time something else comes up you need a hand with,
01:00:02will you know where I am?
01:00:03You know, I don't know.
01:00:09Fear, I don't know.
01:00:09Now.
01:00:10Let's go.
01:00:11Let's go.
01:00:12Let's go.
01:00:13Whatever.
01:00:14Let's go.
01:00:15It's all right.
01:00:16You can't keep to mind.
01:00:17Don't forget to.
01:00:19I'm sure.
01:00:20There are only absorber.
01:00:22I know, but it is all right.
01:00:23This is where we are.
01:00:24I don't know.
01:00:24I'll be wrong.
01:00:25Yes.
01:00:25Is it on your main course?
01:00:27Can you now turn this chair?
01:00:28You can't do it.
01:00:29So what?
01:00:30Keep on doing it.
01:00:47Just want to see if there's a way out the back.
01:01:00Missed a trick there, Mike?
01:01:10Yeah, my luck, anyway.
01:01:23All yours.
01:01:30Just give me two minutes, will you?
01:02:00Can I come in?
01:02:01Come in.
01:02:02Are you sure?
01:02:03Gio, God, Layla.
01:02:06Who are you trying to protect?
01:02:09Him or the baby?
01:02:15Gee, oh God, Layla.
01:02:25Who are you trying to protect?
01:02:28Him?
01:02:29Or the baby?
01:02:36It wasn't you, was it?
01:02:39Who hit your first child?
01:02:45It won't end with Christmas, Layla.
01:03:06Come the new year, he'll be gone, like always.
01:03:16When he thinks you'll be useful again,
01:03:19he'll be back with his sweet talk and his promises.
01:03:23And you'll take him back, like always.
01:03:26What is there in it for you, Layla?
01:03:36What do you get in return?
01:03:40I got Matthew.
01:03:42I got a baby.
01:03:46Well, let's keep him this time, shall we?
01:03:49For the benefit of the neighbours, I imagine.
01:04:19Show me your baby, Layla.
01:04:30La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
01:05:00Oh, my God.
01:05:30Oh, my God.
01:06:00Oh, my God.
01:06:30Oh, my God.
01:07:00Oh, my God.
01:07:30he'd stay for a meal he'd fill the house just by being there she wanted him we all
01:07:43knew that all of us kids he chose me I knew what he was everyone did he said
01:07:56getting married would change him I didn't want him to change I was afraid his
01:08:03feelings for me might change too
01:08:08then we had the baby the first one
01:08:15Tony didn't want me to change baby a cry and I go to it made him angry
01:08:25he used to say I liked it to cry so I could comfort it
01:08:31he did things
01:08:36to make it cry
01:08:39bad things
01:08:43then he'd lock the door so I couldn't get to it that was my punishment I had to say it was me
01:08:49they do things to you in prison if you are my kid
01:08:57Tony told me
01:09:01when Matthew was born
01:09:06he cried
01:09:09they say a baby crying is the most beautiful sound to mother can hear
01:09:15not for me
01:09:22I ran
01:09:25he came after me said he needed me
01:09:29and the baby
01:09:30I believed him
01:09:35like he knew I would
01:09:37but when I left for work I got scared about leaving Matthew alone with him
01:09:44he's a cry or two you see
01:09:48so you did a trade-in
01:09:52with one that isn't
01:09:55what made you change your mind
01:10:00what made you put the other baby in the church
01:10:05something you said at the club
01:10:09about the baby being at risk
01:10:13I suddenly thought suppose she did cry
01:10:18suppose she woke and cried
01:10:24and
01:10:25what happens now

01:13:08The ears of Lord Jesus must sleep on the hay.
01:13:20The cattle are low in the baby awaits.
01:13:29But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
01:13:40I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.
01:13:49And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
01:14:00Be near me, O Jesus, I ask thee to stay.
01:14:12Take us by me forever, and love me, I pray.
01:14:22Bless all the dear children in thy tender care.
01:14:32And bid us away.
01:14:36God bless you.
01:14:46Christ.
01:14:48It is nice.
01:14:51Amen.
