00:00I was just gonna make some breakfast
00:30Can I get you anything no, I'm fine. Thanks
00:34um
00:36Some cereal or toast. I think we've got some eggs. I could make you an omelette or I could make you little soldiers and then Mary
00:43Sorry
00:48Morning Oh George, would you like a cup of tea the kettles just boiled? Yeah, that'd be lovely
00:53You don't long a couple of hours
01:02Can't stop thinking about what Todd said that
01:05Julie might have done something to speed things up come on
01:10We don't know that
01:12Like this she was dying
01:15I think a body just gave up
01:17Hi, uh
01:21I won't ask how everyone is this morning. It's pretty obvious
01:26I hope you didn't mind me staying over last night and I'd just like to offer me condolences Arlene
01:33Thanks
01:35There you go George
01:37I suppose you two would like a cup of tea as well. No, it's all right
01:41Good because we've just run out so hard cheese
01:44I was gonna go for a walk so I can pick some up
01:49You all right mom? Yeah, I just need a little bit of space
01:55Excuse me Todd
01:57Eileen
01:59I know you probably don't feel like it, but
02:03We need to have a talk about what's been going on
02:06I know
02:07Why don't you drop into work later on?
02:09Have a bit of time to ourselves
02:11It's like Piccadilly station innit?
02:13Yeah
02:14See you later
02:15Okay
02:24How many of those do you reckon you've made over the years Roy?
02:26I've got bacon rolls, so I wouldn't know but I would imagine a good number
02:32Yeah
02:32You ever do that? Like wonder how many eggs you've eaten in your life?
02:36Yeah, or how many times you've sneezed or yawned or been to the toilet
02:40Yeah, can't say that I do, no
02:42Well, just us two then
02:44Yeah, probably a bit so
02:47Thank you Roy
02:48That loves
02:49Lovely
02:50Oh, here she is
02:56Hiya
02:57Getting ready to do some online shopping, are we?
02:59Me? No
03:01I am just getting caught up on a couple of new cases
03:04Right, how's that going?
03:06Work fine, yeah
03:08Why?
03:09Well, I'm just asking, making sure you're taking it easy, not overdoing it
03:13Oh, I'm fine
03:14Besides, I would much rather be too busy than sat at home twiddling me thumbs
03:18Hey, are you free this afternoon?
03:20Can be, why?
03:22Why? So I can have lunch and have a proper catch up with my sister?
03:24Michael, I told you I'm fine
03:26You're with me
03:27All right
03:29Show is free
03:34You okay?
03:39No, I've just had a text from Sean that Julie's died
03:43Oh, sorry
03:45Well, it's just Todd, he's just going to be so gutted
03:49Bless him and I actually didn't know her that well
03:51But she was just such a lovely woman, you know, she was really brave
03:55Gonna go to the house, pay your respects
03:57No, I'll leave it for a bit
03:58I think Todd and Eileen will just be in shock
04:00Well, we don't have to, but if you want, we could go down to the bistro
04:05Raise a glass, have some lunch
04:08I'll have a soft drink, but you get the gist
04:10Oh, yeah
04:10Mm, it'll be lovely, thank you
04:14So she said Eileen should leave you?
04:16No, not in so many words
04:18She must have thought she was looking out for her sister while she still could
04:21Well, she's wrong
04:22Eileen's lucky too, have you?
04:24You're a kind, considerate man
04:27Trust me, I've met enough low-life toe rags in my time and you're not one of them
04:31Thank you
04:33I think
04:35So what did Eileen say about it?
04:36Not a lot
04:37I mean, she only found out about this video yesterday
04:44Not interrupting, am I?
04:47No
04:48No, I was just telling George
04:50how fortunate I think you are to have such a loyal, supportive partner at a time like this
04:57You've told her about the video, haven't you?
05:01Yeah
05:01I know it's not really any of my business
05:03You're right, it's not
05:05I just don't think it's fair what Julie said
05:07And I don't think it's fair that he's telling anyone who'll listen about our private life
05:12I'm his sister
05:12And I've just lost mine
05:14I'm not having anyone slagging her off now she's gone
05:16No one's doing that Eileen
05:18I told Glenda because Julie reckoned you were settling for second best and telling you to leave me
05:23I don't want that
05:24Do you?
05:26Like I said
05:28My sister has just died
05:32And whether you and me being together is working is really not high on my list of priorities right now
05:41See you later
05:41So what've we got?
05:52Oh, he's a right charm with this one
05:54He's got a criminal record as long as
05:56Thank you
05:57He was, er
06:00He was having an argument with the punter and the dog and gun
06:03The suspect leaves and about half an hour later the other bloke does too
06:06Next thing someone finds him lying in the pub car park with seven bells beating out of him
06:11Not bad we're talking
06:12Fractured jaw, broken eye socket and two cracked ribs
06:16Wasn't messing around then was he?
06:18No
06:19I mean the victim says it was him
06:21And they were eyewitnesses to the row in the pub but not to the actual assault which means we can't charge him obviously
06:26So I could really do with you putting a bit of pressure on him you know
06:29See what we can find out
06:31What's the name of this bloke?
06:32His full name is Mark Michaelis but he goes by the name of Mick
06:37Do you know what?
06:38I recognise him
06:39He's moved in locally
06:41Yeah
06:43Right
06:45Nothing all right?
06:46Yeah
06:48Good
06:48Right let me know how you get on you
07:01Can I get you anything? A drink or a...
07:03No
07:04Fine thank you
07:06Really?
07:10I bought her those
07:14Yes
07:16Along with five other bouquets scattered around the house
07:22Didn't think they'd last longer than she would
07:26You loved her a lot didn't you?
07:28I feel like my heart's been ripped out and stomped on
07:35Obviously I knew our time together was limited
07:38But I just wish it was longer
07:4120 or 30 years
07:44Now there's a
07:46Julie carp shaped hole in my life
07:50Oh I'm sorry
07:52And I know that's a big hole to fill
07:55You have no idea
07:58What can you do?
08:03Except try to keep busy
08:04Which is part of the reason why I came round to
08:07See if there's anything I can help with
08:09Well I was going to take the wheelchair back to the hospital and return what's left of
08:13Julie's medicines if you want to give me a hand with those
08:16Okay you get the wheelchair now
08:18I'll get the medicine
08:18Right
08:19That's strange
08:27Everything all right?
08:32No it's not
08:32So what sort of place are you looking for?
08:42Somewhere with a garden
08:44Three bedrooms and a jacuzzi
08:46Only talking with you
08:47Look I know it's a bit of a touchy subject but
08:52Have you had any more of those texts from you know your uh
08:58Your blackmailer?
08:59Yeah
09:01Nah
09:02No
09:04You know I was thinking about asking Betsy if she had help too
09:08I'm sure she'd have mentioned if she did have
09:11Wait if I were you I wouldn't mention anything
09:15She's got enough on a play as it is
09:17What and I haven't?
09:20It's not just me that I'm worried about
09:23What if they report me to the police and say that I was the one driving
09:26I'd get banged up for short and then Frankie
09:30I wouldn't want to put Frankie through all that again Bobby
09:33Let's just wait and see what happens yeah
09:39Right
09:44Is everything to your satisfaction?
09:46No
09:47Have you ever known me to complain about the food in here in all the years I've been coming?
09:50No it was delicious
09:51Thank you Roy
09:53I wonder have you had a chance to speak with Eileen or Todd since yesterday?
09:57Yeah I thought that I'd just leave them with a bit of space you know let things settle
10:02You and I both know how hard it is to lose someone close to you even when you do try and prepare for it
10:07Indeed as a matter of fact it would have been Hayley's birthday today
10:13Oh
10:15Oh well it doesn't get any easier does it?
10:18No
10:19Well here's to Hayley
10:25Ah Brian how are you?
10:28I've been better
10:28How was Eileen and Todd getting on?
10:32I've not seen them this morning
10:34Roy and I were just talking about Julie
10:37Saying how hard it is you know to lose someone even when you know it's inevitable it's still a shock
10:43It was for me
10:46Even more so now I know what really happened
10:49Well what do you mean?
10:51I was at the house talking to Mary
10:54We were going to take Judy's painkillers and wheelchair back to the chemist hospital
11:00Only when I looked in her back
11:03It was all gone
11:05And there was an empty packet of Eileen's medication in there as well
11:10So what are you trying to say exactly?
11:12Well Judy should have had enough medication to last her another week at least
11:17I mean where did it all go?
11:21Unless
11:24She took it
11:26All of it
11:28What are you saying Julie's taken an overdose she's ended her life?
11:32Yes
11:33Have you told Eileen about this?
11:35No
11:36I've only just realised what really happened to me
11:38She'll be devastated
11:40I mean she was with her
11:41What's the matter?
11:44She was with her
11:47When I offered to accompany him to the lake yesterday
11:50I mean why were they so insistent that it was just for the two of them no one else
11:54Unless Eileen knew about it too
12:11Sorry to keep you waiting
12:24I'm DC Green and I'll be interviewing you about the alleged assault
12:28Is that right?
12:30Oh
12:31I've got it
12:31Come on
12:34Oops
12:36But the thing is
12:41I understand you're upset and grieving but
12:45I think you need to be very careful about what you say and who
12:48Yeah
12:48Yeah, Roy's right
12:50You know there's probably very simple explanations to what's happened to Julie's meds
12:53And the fact is
12:55You know she was desperately ill
12:57She was dying
12:58Oh thank you the Reverend Obvious
13:01I know that
13:02Are you saying there's not something suspicious about how quickly it all happened?
13:07Where's Eileen's medication?
13:09What was Julie doing with it and where's it all gone?
13:11I mean she was acting very strange that last day
13:15Like she was saying her goodbyes
13:16Like she knew what was going to happen and when
13:19Even if you are correct that she did take her own life and that Eileen did help her
13:26It was what she wanted
13:27It was her choice
13:29That may be the case
13:31But it still doesn't make it right
13:34Her pain was under control
13:36She was still able to see people
13:41Go places
13:43It wasn't her only choice and I should have been told what she was going to do so I could have
13:52So I could have at least tried to talk her out of it
13:57Spend as much time with her as possible
13:59I'll say goodbye
14:08You know I think the thing that's stressing me out is what whoever's texting me wants
14:13I mean they must know I'm skinned so it can't be money they're after so
14:16What else does that leave?
14:18You can't keep going over it
14:19You're going to drive yourself mad
14:21And maybe that's what they want
14:23To mess with your head
14:25Well Bobby I can't just pretend it's not happening
14:27No but you just need to take your mind off it
14:30I don't know go out
14:32Have some fun
14:33A few drinks
14:34I'll be the mate
14:38Just to be fair I can't remember the last time I had fun
14:41Do you know what
14:42You're right I'm going to do it
14:44That's the spirit
14:45Well I thought we could
14:45Right so I'm going to text Sabrina and see what she's up to
14:47But I'll talk to you later yeah
14:48Oh
14:49Cheers Bobby
14:49Yeah
14:51No worries
14:52Glad to help
14:54I'm going to give you advance warning I'm coming in for a hug in case you want to
14:59Headbutt me or punch my lights out
15:06Are you bearing up?
15:09Still sinking in
15:11Still numb
15:14I keep expecting her to call or text or send me some clip off the internet involving cats
15:20She used to send me those and all
15:25Why was it always cats?
15:28Don't know
15:29She was an enigma
15:32That's one word for her
15:37Was it peaceful in the end?
15:39I think so
15:40When I found her it just looked like she'd nodded off
15:46I suppose there's worse ways to go
15:51Listen I know you're probably not in the mood right now but a few of us are going to meet in the rovers later
15:54You know have a drink celebrate her life if you fancy it
15:59Not exactly scintillating company
16:02Well
16:04I don't think anybody's going to expect you to be cracking jokes or singing show tunes
16:08But it might be nice to be surrounded by people that loved her too
16:19So you're denying any knowledge of the assault on Mr Palmer?
16:23Like I said I'm not a violent man
16:25Your record says otherwise
16:27It's all in the past
16:30Don't get me wrong
16:31Some things I did back then I'm not proud of but
16:34People change don't they?
16:35I paid my dues
16:39And the rest
16:41Do you know what I mean?
16:46Well
16:48We'll be in touch if we need to ask you any more questions but for now you're free to go
17:06Excuse me
17:07DC Green
17:08I know you're the one conducting the interview but on the arrest sheet it mentioned statements from several witnesses in the pub who saw it
17:14You're right this is my interview and I'm terminating it
17:16So why don't you go and escort Mr McKayley's out the building
17:19I'm going to be in touch with you
17:39Oh hello
17:40Hi Roy
17:42Sorry to disturb you
17:43I just I didn't realise the cafe would be shut and I left my phone earlier
17:47Yes it's here I'll retrieve it for you
17:50Oh yeah
17:53It's not your birthday is it right?
17:55No Hayley's
17:57Would have been
17:58Your wife
18:00I'm sorry I didn't know
18:01That's quite all right
18:04Just something that I do every year to remember her by
18:08I mean not that I've ever forgotten her
18:12Well I wish I could have met her
18:15She sounded like a wonderful woman
18:17Yes she was a very special person
18:21She genuinely did light up every room she went into
18:25And I treasure every moment we had together
18:28Bad and good
18:31Of course one doesn't realise how fleeting those moments are
18:35With someone one cares for until they're gone
18:38Are you all right?
18:47Yes
18:48Yeah
18:49Sorry again for disturbing you Roy
18:51Thank you for this
18:52No no no
18:53Not at all
18:54Happy birthday my love
19:16Do you really think your Julie maybe took her own life?
19:20Maybe I'm reading too much into it
19:22And in a way it doesn't really make any difference
19:24The fact is she's gone
19:27Listen um Sean texted me said there was a few of them meeting in the rovers later
19:31I wasn't really feeling up for it but I might be if you'd come with me
19:34Yeah what time are they meeting?
19:38Dad
19:39Millie what are you doing here?
19:41I'm here because you won't answer my calls
19:43Well I'm sorry love I've um I've been busy
19:46Too busy for me
19:48Mum's in bits because of you on him
19:50But it's not what you think love it's um it's hard to explain
19:56Well go on let's hear it then
20:03Sorry took longer than thought I'm on my way now I'll see you there
20:09Listen Nick don't know what you want don't know what this is about
20:13I can't talk right now I'm in a hurry
20:16Toph
20:20Do we need to have a chat
20:23You okay? Hardly touched your drink
20:26Oh I know
20:27I mean normally I'm quite partial to a bit of afternoon drinking and delight but
20:32I don't feel quite in the mood right now
20:34I still don't think Julie would want us all to sit around feeling miserable
20:38Oh not true no she'd want us to remember her with a laugh and a smile
20:43You're right she would let's get battered
20:47Can't just keep pretending that everything's fine between me and Eileen because it's not
20:52I need to know where her stand will lend her
20:53Yeah yeah you do
20:55You know but like you said maybe give her a bit of time to get over what happened before you go and have a chat with her and
21:00Oh she's here
21:02Hey
21:04I'll have a large lady petrol for this one and just my usual thanks
21:09I was worried about you
21:11Where have you been?
21:11I just went for a walk
21:13I wasn't sure if you were going to come on or not
21:15Well I wasn't but then he twisted my arm
21:19Well glad you're here
21:21These are in the house
21:22Ah Tarchuk
21:25Erm I'd like to say a few words if I can
21:27I'd just like to raise my glass
21:30Hourglass to er to Julie Carp
21:33She was kind, funny, mad as a box frogs and also had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew
21:39So here's to you kiddo
21:41To Julie
21:42Julie
21:42Julie
21:46You alright son?
21:48Get you a drink or you're still on the clock
21:50I'm alright thank you
21:52But I would like it if I could have a quiet word with you
21:55What about?
21:56Not yet
21:58Craig, my sister died yesterday
22:00I'm having a drink in her memory with a friend so
22:04Either tell me what it's about or just leave me alone now
22:06We need to ask you a few questions down at the station
22:09In relation to her death
22:25It doesn't sound like that
22:26We just want to ask you a few questions as a witness to Julie's death
22:30Sorry witness to her death
22:32What exactly is it that you think I know?
22:34Look if we could just go down to the station
22:36Or has somebody said something?
22:40Are you going to set out?
22:41Or have you already? Is that it?
22:43What?
22:44How could you think I would do such a thing?
22:46Let's go
22:47Eileen wait
22:55I don't sound good
23:00Sweetheart look I know this is a lot to deal with
23:01That's all you've got is it?
23:03No I'm sorry for ignoring you and pretending you don't exist
23:05Mills of course I don't
23:06You're making yourself look stupid you know
23:09Millie there was never going to be a good time
23:10To what?
23:11Throw a grenade into the middle of our family and wipe out a lifetime of memories
23:14We still have the memories
23:15No we don't because we're all a big fat lie
23:22Look let's not do this here okay
23:26I'll give you a call
23:28Let's go somewhere else all right darling
23:37We have nothing to talk about
23:39I disagree
23:41You were this close to being banged up
23:42I thought we were mates
23:44Long time ago that
23:46Yeah
23:47You've changed
23:48You haven't
23:49By all accounts
23:51No comment detective
23:56You know I heard you become a copper
23:59First of all no way he'd never do that
24:03Goes to show you how wrong you can be about a person
24:06Not for the first time though right
24:08Happy days though eh mate
24:12All I'm saying is if it was my sister and she was dying
24:18Doubtedly it could be hard but with excellent palliative care
24:22It's possible to experience a good death surrounded by your loved ones
24:26As a man of the cloth I'm sure you'll agree
24:29Oh it's hard to know what any one of us would feel
24:32What's that thing they say until you walked in someone's shoes
24:35Yeah exactly
24:37I mean when Paul was dying he asked Billy
24:40Sorry if you mind
24:44Well he asked Billy to help him end it
24:47And I was so angry
24:49Because I never wanted him to leave us ever
24:52But I was never going to be able to change the fact that he was going to die anyway
24:59So why shouldn't he have the right to decide when
25:03Obviously in the end he died naturally but
25:06I just worry if it's made legal it'd be open to abuse you know for example with disabled people being
25:11The current proposal for assisted dying it does only apply to the terminally ill
25:19As far as dewy goes
25:21None of us are ever going to know
25:22Well I'm telling you a lot now if I'm ever unlucky to get somebody now deadly I give you my full permission
25:27Todd it's me I need to speak to you will you call me please
25:37So what's happening
25:40Craig's driving her down to the station
25:43Do you think maybe one of us should go up there you know for moral support
25:47Well I suggest not your good self because she clearly thinks you're responsible for the dirty deed
25:52I didn't do a dirty deed
25:54Oh look you know what she's like once she gets an idea into her head
25:57Harder to shift than red wine out of a white woolly cardie
26:00I knew that was you
26:04Eileen's been arrested for murder
26:06Mary Eileen has not been arrested
26:10She's been taken in for questioning over Julie's death
26:14Oh
26:16Good
26:19Beg your pardon
26:21When one has been bereaved one can't behave in
26:24Eileen suffered the bereavement too Roy
26:26And apparently it's a good thing that she's been dragged off down to a police station for no good reason
26:30For no good reason
26:30I beg to differ
26:34I think Eileen allowing Julie to use her pain cutters to end her life is a very good reason
26:43Which is why I reported it to the police
26:45You idiot
26:47Oh look clearly emotions are running high
26:50I'm sure that Ryan's motivation was driven by
26:53I know I know what it was driven by Roy
26:54It's a judge
26:55Judgy mate
26:57Needing someone to be angry with
26:59It's a perfectly reasonable reaction
27:00Yeah indeed
27:02And it's something I encounter on a daily basis
27:04But
27:05It stops people from having to deal with their loss
27:09Eileen doesn't deserve to be held accountable for Julie
27:11I find that hard to believe
27:16Shame on you
27:17I have never been wrong
27:30Listen join me
27:45Okay, well, I would, but you actually...
27:49You, Michael, you're late.
27:51Now, look, you get us all another bottle and then we can...
27:55Oh, no, that's a terrible idea.
27:58Come on. Come on, let's go.
28:01Where? Where are we going?
28:03Where's the roses?
28:05Let's go to the roses.
28:07Excuse me. Kit?
28:10A word.
28:10I had a quick look at the transcript of the interview.
28:17That's very conscientious of you.
28:19And I'm a bit confused why you didn't question him about what happened in the pub.
28:23I did?
28:25No, you interviewed him about what happened in the pub car park.
28:29Which is where the alleged assault took place.
28:32Look, he already admitted to being in the pub, but claimed there was no row.
28:35There was no CCTV.
28:36And most witnesses scarpered pretty quickly.
28:38And the ones that were there, well, were what you call reliable.
28:42Right.
28:43It's just that that guy's troubling pretty soon.
28:45He's going to find himself back inside.
28:47Just do a pan there when he does.
28:49Listen, I've got a...
28:50Oh, all right, yeah.
28:52Of course, I'm heading back now anyway, so...
28:54Take your time.
28:56I appreciate you coming in early.
28:57Cheers.
29:00Hey.
29:01That'll seem very intense.
29:03Oh, she's got the same face when she's in the canteen,
29:06choosing between custard and cream.
29:09Seriously, what...
29:09What'd she want, though?
29:11Just wearing stuff.
29:14Right, shall we get the menus?
29:15I'm starving.
29:21I suppose it's only natural wanting to blame someone.
29:24You were dead close, though, Julian Hiley.
29:26That you and Brian were, weren't you, in the past?
29:29Sexually, do you mean?
29:30Oh, yeah.
29:30I mean, I know he's got his funny little ways.
29:33Brian Packham is the rarest of gems.
29:36A true and steadfast friend.
29:37And as the quote goes,
29:39if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship,
29:41then you haven't learned anything.
29:43Aw.
29:44Is that Oscar Wilde?
29:45Muhammad Ali.
29:46Oh, all right.
29:51Roy's got me on this word game.
29:53Dead hard.
29:54You get six chances to, er...
29:56What's up?
30:00Oh.
30:01Don't tell me.
30:02Sabrina's bailed again.
30:04I told you, she's flaky.
30:05I cancelled on her.
30:07Well, I'm on that.
30:08I got another text.
30:16Be careful on the road.
30:18I'm watching.
30:22That's creepy.
30:24Yeah, it's got me dead worried to be out and about.
30:26He's probably just some idiot.
30:30You know, before, Frankie,
30:31I'd have just been like, yeah, whatever, but...
30:34It's not just me I've got to look out for anymore, is it?
30:37No.
30:38Of course not.
30:41I mean, what if they really are dangerous?
30:44Look, you've done the right thing so far,
30:46keeping a low profile.
30:48We'll probably get bored soon enough.
30:51And...
30:51Lauren...
30:53I'm really glad you came to me.
30:57Yeah, but who else would I go to?
31:04I told you already.
31:06I'm sorry, I knew this must be distressing.
31:08But I'm sure you'll appreciate that in cases like this,
31:10we have to be thorough.
31:13Come in.
31:14Okay, thank you.
31:25Why have you got Julie's wash bag?
31:28Are those my pills?
31:30So you're not denying me yours?
31:34What would be the point?
31:35They've got her name on it.
31:37Okay, I'll have to advise you not to say anything further
31:40until you have legal representation present.
31:43What?
31:43Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to interview you under caution
31:46with regards to your sister's death.
31:47So can you explain why they were found in Julie's wash bag?
32:08No, I can't.
32:10So you didn't put them there?
32:12No.
32:13And she didn't mention she put them in there?
32:18Had she talked about ending her life?
32:21What?
32:23No.
32:24Never hinted at it?
32:26She wanted a cup of tea.
32:28I went to get it and that was the last time we spoke.
32:31And you're sure there was never any kind of indication
32:35from Julie of her intention?
32:36I've told you no.
32:39And if you're implying that I helped her to do it,
32:43that I would seriously leave her on her own to die,
32:48that I wouldn't be by her side,
32:51holding her hand, telling her how much she was loved.
32:53But if you had,
32:58and she'd used your pills to do it,
33:00that could be viewed as murder in a court of law.
33:03You could get 14 years.
33:06I did not kill my sister.
33:10You have my deepest sympathy for your loss.
33:14However,
33:15I must acknowledge...
33:17It wouldn't have happened
33:18were it not for the actions of a certain woman.
33:20Look, even if that assertion is correct
33:23and Eileen is responsible...
33:25For killing her own sister.
33:27She was!
33:29I should say an act
33:30for which I will personally ensure
33:32she receives the severest of punishments.
33:35Do you seriously believe
33:36that Eileen hasn't been punished enough
33:39by the loss?
33:40Which she was responsible for expediting.
33:43Well, in that case,
33:44perhaps she deserves our pity,
33:47not our retribution.
33:48I doubt the courts will see it that way.
33:50I doubt the courts will see it that way.
33:55Watching someone you love,
33:58living in pain,
33:59seeing the fear in their eyes
34:01as they wonder what the end is going to be like,
34:05feeling their sense of hopelessness
34:07in knowing that
34:08they have no control over it.
34:12That is agony.
34:15Pure, unadulterated agony.
34:18Maybe Julie was trying to protect you from that.
34:24I didn't want a protection.
34:26I wanted to be with her, comforting her.
34:29I'm sure Eileen, too,
34:30wanted more time with Julie.
34:33But sometimes
34:34the dying know
34:36when they've had enough.
34:38and then it's only the living
34:41forcing them to endure
34:44one more hour,
34:46one more minute.
34:48Surely with the right
34:49drugs,
34:51the right care,
34:53with the arms of a loved one
34:56wrapped around you,
34:57possible to have a peaceful passing.
34:58indeed.
35:03If she needed help,
35:06it should have been me.
35:09Think yourself lucky it wasn't
35:11to take a life
35:13even when one has been
35:17begged to do so.
35:20Must be an unbearable
35:21burden to bear.
35:23She said nothing of ending it.
35:25Nothing?
35:26Not directly.
35:27No.
35:30But perhaps
35:31that veiled goodbye
35:33was a sign that
35:35she thought it was time.
35:40I know she couldn't bear
35:42the thought of
35:42using the sense of who she was.
35:50Not being able to laugh anymore.
35:54She wasn't there yet.
35:57all those years
36:00will have wasted.
36:02It's impossible
36:03to imagine
36:04now.
36:05But in the future,
36:08you will be able
36:10to look back
36:11on your time together
36:12and smile.
36:13and smile.
36:13I promise.
36:23So yeah,
36:23then I moved to Milan
36:24to work with my uncle,
36:26which was so glamorous.
36:27Also, I thought,
36:28because obviously I'd never
36:29been out of Weatherfield
36:30before on these full,
36:31scruffy little streets.
36:32that's it.
36:36Okay.
36:37Are you going to tell me
36:38what it was
36:39that your boss
36:40was bending your hair about?
36:42I told you,
36:43it was just work.
36:45You know when people
36:46talk about closed books?
36:49Well, I suppose
36:49I should be flattered
36:50that you want to open mine.
36:51Yeah, you should.
36:55It was just about
36:56some suspect
36:57interviewed earlier.
36:59You assaulted
36:59some guy outside a pub.
37:01Just reminded me
37:02of someone I knew.
37:04Someone I grew up with.
37:05What happened to him?
37:09I don't know.
37:10Lost touch.
37:13So,
37:13I'm guessing
37:14that the fact
37:15the guy
37:16was in trouble
37:17for assault
37:17means that your mate
37:18was a bit of a...
37:19Yeah, it wasn't a saint.
37:20But neither was I.
37:22Ooh.
37:24There's me thinking
37:24you were one of the good guys.
37:26I'm a work in progress, mate.
37:29Intriguing.
37:29So go on,
37:30what was it
37:30you and your mate
37:31got up to then?
37:32Knock a door on,
37:33letting tyres down.
37:35Just reminded me
37:38of him, that's all.
37:40He's to happy memories.
37:48OK, but...
37:50Listen, George.
37:51Call me if...
37:52Yeah, all right.
37:55Yeah.
37:57Bye.
38:00Hi.
38:01Hi.
38:02How'd it go?
38:03Well, put it this way,
38:04I'm not anticipating
38:05a Father's Day card
38:06this year.
38:06I'm with Millie.
38:07It's a commercial fabrication
38:08exploited by modern capitalism.
38:11Sorry.
38:13I just, er...
38:14I just don't think
38:15there's any way back.
38:17I mean,
38:18this is huge for her.
38:20It just needs time.
38:21You don't get it.
38:22Millie,
38:24Miles and their mum,
38:25they have, er...
38:26they have, er...
38:27certain beliefs.
38:29They all have beliefs.
38:31But what I've done...
38:32Living openly as a gay man
38:34is not wrong.
38:36That's not how they see it.
38:37Believe me,
38:38Danielle will be doing
38:38her best to wind the kids up.
38:40Religious,
38:40but not big on forgiveness,
38:41then.
38:43Well,
38:43for her to forgive me
38:45first,
38:46I'd have to repent.
38:48Ah.
38:49Well,
38:53I'm here for you.
38:55Alright?
38:56Whatever you need.
39:01You know,
39:02I always thought
39:02I were a tough
39:03and strong...
39:05You are.
39:08I never could have
39:09taken this on
39:10without you
39:11in me corner.
39:19I am really sorry
39:26that you had to
39:27go through that.
39:29Come here.
39:31You okay?
39:32I'm tired.
39:33So,
39:34what have they said?
39:36That I can go home
39:37while they continue
39:38their enquiries.
39:41It wasn't me
39:42that reported you,
39:42you know,
39:43it was Brian.
39:44Yeah,
39:45discovered a packet
39:45of your pills
39:46in Julie's wash bag
39:47and put two and two together
39:48in May 10.
39:49And that's what
39:50I told them.
39:50I said there is no way
39:51that Eileen would have
39:52given her sister
39:52them pills.
39:53Thanks.
39:54I mean,
39:55do you want to go
39:55and see Brian now?
39:56I just want to go out.
39:59Okay.
40:08Whoa.
40:10What time is it?
40:12Tea time.
40:15Well,
40:15at least this makes
40:16a change,
40:17you being the sensible
40:184-1-4-1s.
40:19Yeah,
40:20well,
40:20it comes with having
40:20a four-year-old.
40:23Am I sensing
40:24a lecture coming off?
40:26Look,
40:27I can't even imagine
40:28how it feels
40:29to be here right now.
40:31Okay?
40:32Having Layla
40:32and then...
40:33Look,
40:34Michael,
40:34I made my choice
40:36and I'm at peace
40:37with it.
40:39Yeah,
40:40but
40:40then having a hysterectomy,
40:42all right,
40:44that's a massive trauma.
40:45It's going to take
40:46some processing.
40:48I just...
40:48I just didn't have
40:51any time to plan,
40:52you know?
40:53I know.
40:54It's like all these
40:55different futures
40:56I'd imagined for myself
40:57were just wiped out
40:59just like that.
41:01Yeah, yeah,
41:01but there's going to be
41:02other futures.
41:03And right now,
41:04you can help
41:05put your energy
41:06into midwives
41:06getting better training.
41:08I honestly don't think
41:09I've got any fight
41:10left in me.
41:11Oh, come on, D.
41:12What?
41:12You can make a difference.
41:13How many people
41:14can say that?
41:15And besides,
41:16you need to do it
41:16for yourself.
41:17You've gone through
41:18huge things.
41:19Death,
41:19loss,
41:20birth,
41:21and look at you,
41:22you're still standing.
41:23Well,
41:24maybe,
41:25maybe sweating
41:26a little bit.
41:27Come on,
41:28you got this.
41:30I said you got this.
41:32No, hey,
41:32I've got this.
41:33Good.
41:35My work here
41:36is done.
41:37Ooh,
41:38just in time as well
41:38because Glory's
41:39on the second
41:39bowl of ice cream.
41:42Hey,
41:42the suit just needs
41:43heating up,
41:44OK?
41:46Love you.
41:48I love you too.
42:01Wes,
42:02hi.
42:04Yeah,
42:04good,
42:05no good.
42:06Listen,
42:06can we talk?
42:11Evening,
42:11detective.
42:16You've been following me?
42:18You sound a bit jittery,
42:19detective.
42:20My wife likes that word,
42:22jittery.
42:23You remember Lou,
42:23right?
42:25And we've not long
42:25moved in round the corner.
42:27Me learning kids.
42:29So,
42:29you must be local too,
42:31then,
42:31right?
42:31In case I haven't made it clear,
42:33I don't want anything
42:34to do with you.
42:36That's the thing about the pasto,
42:38innit?
42:40Always comes back to haunt you.
42:41I nip the chippy once we had this.
42:52A cup of tea's fine,
42:55thanks.
42:56Of course.
42:58Got no appetite.
43:00Sorry.
43:00No,
43:02it's me that should be saying sorry
43:04for lashing out at you
43:06for no reason
43:07when I knew you would never
43:08have reported me
43:09to the police.
43:11Oh.
43:11Eileen.
43:19If they do a post-mortem
43:20and confirm that Julie
43:23died of an overdose,
43:25they could charge you.
43:29I can't believe
43:30she didn't think
43:31of the consequences.
43:33Well,
43:34obviously she didn't want
43:35to involve you.
43:35Well, she has involved me.
43:38Why couldn't she just
43:39leave another tape explaining?
43:41I don't know.
43:44Now I'm going to get
43:45charged for a murder.
43:48For killing my own
43:49flesh and blood.
43:52Come here.
44:11Come here.
44:40See you soon.
