01:05You okay?
01:07Sorry.
01:09Can I help?
01:13No.
01:17My dad, my dad's dead.
01:19Yeah, he's dead.
01:29We've just got time for one more golden opening for the news.
01:33Like a circle in a spiral
01:35Like a wheel that it'll be
01:39Never ending or beginning
01:43On an ever-spinning wreath
01:47Love a circle on a shore
01:49With a bronze in the sun
01:53As the image is unwind
01:57I just don't understand why he would do this.
01:59In the windmills of your mind
02:13So...
02:15Do I get an explanation?
02:19I, uh...
02:21I was gonna go home.
02:23Yeah, no shit.
02:25Why?
02:27Being here is messing with my mind.
02:29Okay.
02:31Right, so to calm that, you're hanging out with your father's annoyingly vague suicide note.
02:41I've got a theory.
02:43On?
02:45This annoyingly vague suicide note.
02:47Being?
02:49Well, I know it's dad's handwriting.
02:51But when did he ever start a sentence without a capital letter?
02:55When he was suicidal.
02:57Punctuation probably wasn't the top of his priority list.
03:01It reads like the end of a sentence, not the start.
03:03So...
03:05What if...
03:07There was a page one?
03:09Police only found this.
03:11Yeah, and he found the note first.
03:13The police or Margot?
03:15Margot!
03:17But what if she took page one for some reason?
03:19I don't know.
03:20I...
03:21But you said it yourself.
03:22This is a ridiculous note that explains nothing.
03:23It's three words and a weird doodle.
03:25This is not the final note of a man who delved inside people's minds.
03:29I think you're overtired.
03:31He was reading a book.
03:33The Juniper Bush, The Loss of Innocence by C.C. Arnold.
03:38Um...
03:40It's a psychological textbook from 1954.
03:43The Juniper Bush is an analogy.
03:45In the Bible, the infant Jesus and his parents were hidden from Herod's soldiers by Juniper Bush.
03:50And it's about innocence and it's about loss.
03:52Sutton.
03:54Lads, you're upsetting me now.
03:59So if you don't mind, I am...
04:02I am going to make some tea and bake some cakes.
04:09Ah sí.
04:10No.

04:28Part 2.
04:29Hi.
04:30Oh89.
04:35ilateral.
04:36All right?
04:37I'm all right?
04:38Are you scared?
04:39What? He's easy. A weedy kid. How about someone bigger? You. Go. The rest of you. Here I am.
04:51Fuck off. Fuck off?
04:58Get to school.
05:09Get in. I'll walk. I don't want them to catch you. They won't, because I'm walking at maximum speed. What if they run? They won't run. It'd look uncool if they run. Take care, okay? That's a meaningless phrase, as my care isn't really... Issue. Fair point.
05:39Coffee? I'm already late. So another half hour won't matter?
05:57They'll think I'm hungover again. Are you? Yep. But I don't want them thinking that, do I?
06:03No. It's quite important. I've been thinking about Dad's suicide. Something doesn't feel right.
06:11In my experience, it rarely does for the loved ones. His whole philosophy, professionally speaking, was don't let them feel abandoned.
06:20He genuinely believed that damaged people could be saved.
06:24Who reassures the reassurer? That's from a Snoopy cartoon.
06:28Look, look. He didn't own a gun, Seth. Did you check it for prints?
06:36What if someone went in there, like a client, say, and made it look like suicide?
06:40It's a basic, reanimated street gun. It has no traceability.
06:44What about forensics? Powder residue on his hands. You can tell all this stuff.
06:48Yeah, we can. But there's a backlog, lads, and suicides, I'm sorry to say, but they're not classed as urgent.
06:53Who would want to kill your dad? First, the Cassandra Rhodes thing, which is 25 years ago.
06:59Did you even read the police files I gave you?
07:02You're looking for connections where there aren't any.
07:06You sure about that?
07:08Sutton and Cassandra and your dad are years apart.
07:12You're abusing our friendship, so it's lucky for you, I fancy your sister.
07:15Yeah.
07:23You're looking for a friend of mine.
07:53There will be others, son.
07:56They will come to you too.
08:23Oh, God.
08:50Oh, God.
08:53Hi, Dr. Laz.
09:04This is Neil.
09:06Dr. Lazarus.
09:08I was a bit reluctant, but I told you.
09:13I told you.
09:15I told you.
09:16I told you.
09:17I told you.
09:18I told you.
09:19I told you.
09:20I told you.
09:21I was a bit reluctant.
09:22But I told him that you'd suggested it and that you'd make sure that it wasn't too, um, woo-woo.
09:27Yeah, I'm just not used to all this, uh, talking in rooms.
09:31Well.
09:32I'll do my best to make it straightforward.
09:39Have a drink.
09:41Can you have a drink?
09:42Hm?
09:43Yeah.
09:44I'm having a drink.
09:45I'm having a drink.
09:46I don't want a drink.
09:47Just have a drink.
09:48Leave it.
09:49Neil, just have a drink.
09:50Leave it!
09:51Neil.
09:52Why don't you sit here?
09:56Yes.
09:57And Cassandra here.
10:00Perfect.
10:09So, couples counseling.
10:13Yes.
10:14Neil.
10:15Neil, why don't we start with you? Why do you think you're here?
10:20It was her idea to help our relationship.
10:26Okay. Cassandra, same question.
10:29Well, in our sessions, you've always encouraged me to stand up for myself and...
10:37Well, I've kept a little diary of each day and every time that I...
10:41Can I speak?
10:43Please.
10:47I idolise Cassandra.
10:50But sometimes, for her own good, what she needs...
10:53Well, it all goes back to her mother.
10:55Don't sigh, Cassie.
10:57She was brought up by a mother with no boundaries. Tell him.
11:00Well, she would go out onto the street, sleep with men for money...
11:03No, she didn't!
11:04Don't lie to him.
11:05What?
11:06She slept with men for money.
11:09To provide for her kids, maybe, but she definitely...
11:11There, were you?
11:13When they grow up, thinking that this was normal.
11:17Would you describe yourself as someone who needs to be in control, more generally, in life?
11:32I get thoughts in my head about the way the world should be, and once they're in there, I want the world to be that way.
11:40One's enough.
11:41See?
11:42I said that one is another.
11:43I want another!
11:44I keep the drinks in a globe.
11:49It helps me remember that outside this room, there's a whole wide world.
11:54Well, where would you go if you needed the space?
11:59India.
12:00Why?
12:01Well, live cheaply.
12:02Lose yourself.
12:03No one will find you there.
12:04You should go.
12:05Maybe I will.
12:06You couldn't leave me.
12:07I could go, but what would you do, Cassandra?
12:08How would you manage?
12:09Oh, I'd manage.
12:10Probably end up like your mother, sucking men's dicks for cash.
12:11Stop saying that!
12:12Well, no wonder you've got to stalk her.
12:13We have to face the truth.
12:14I mean, isn't that part of this room?
12:15We have to accept what we are?
12:16She sucked dicks for cash, and she doesn't want to admit it because who wants to think
12:27that their mother was a whore?
12:29But that's what she was.
12:30Cassandra came from a whore, and we need to accept that sometimes the apple doesn't fall
12:34far from the-
12:35Jen?
13:00Jen?
13:03Jen?
13:04Well...
13:05Hey, what's that?
13:06What's that?
13:07That statue, Mum, Dad bought one now, didn't we?
13:08No.
13:09With a client.
13:10Hi.
13:11Oh, sorry.
13:12Uh, remember it?
13:13The crediting mother?
13:14Yes.
13:15Dad had it in his office, but it's not there any more.
13:18Why?
13:19I have no idea.
13:20Now please, Lose.
13:21Alright.
13:22Okay.
13:24Okay.
13:34Well, you've always encouraged me to stand up for myself.
13:43Well, I've kept a little diary of each day and every time...
13:45We were the only people that would buy the place.
13:47It'd been left empty for ages,
13:49apart from all the crap that got left in the attic.
13:55Right.
13:57I'm, uh...
13:58I'm just going out.
13:59Yet still with a client.
14:01Hi.
14:04Nine of Swords.
14:06Be careful.
14:10Is that something to worry about?
14:11No.
14:12Oh, no.
14:17Well...
14:18You again?
14:26I know. I'm sorry.
14:27You mentioned when you bought the property
14:29that the loft hadn't been cleaned out properly?
14:32Correct.
14:32But, pal, I'm mid-denner here.
14:34I've got countdown on...
14:35Cassandra, the woman who lived here before,
14:37uh, what did you do with her, Star?
14:41It's only a couple of boxes.
14:43They're in the loft.
14:44Why?
14:47Uh, I think I mentioned last time
14:50she knew my father,
14:52and for sentimental reasons,
14:55I'd love to see what she left behind.
14:57You could be anyone.
15:02You come to my door,
15:03you could be a thief,
15:04or a con man, or...
15:05I'll give you my wallet,
15:06and you can give it back to me when I leave.
15:14Car keys?
15:16Uh, yeah.
15:19Fine.
15:20Come on.
15:21A statue.
15:45What about it?
15:46Is it Cassandra's?
15:50Yeah.
15:51From the loft.
15:58This used to be my father's.
16:00You'll be saying my 65-inch ice cream
16:01is your father's next?
16:02It was in his office.
16:03All I know
16:05is
16:06the wife likes it.
16:28Careful on your way up.
16:29Careful on your way up.
16:33The stuff you want
16:34is just over there.
16:36Those?
16:37Yeah, those are them.
16:40Oh.
16:43When we bought this,
16:44I thought it could be a games room.
16:47Set my PS up.
16:49Beer fridge.
16:51Gotta have it all done properly.
16:53You can get a floor that's reinforced,
16:54and this partition wall
16:56would have to come down.
16:57God knows why she boxed it off.
16:59My wife put a kibosh on it.
17:01Said she'd never see me.
17:02I said you say that
17:04like it's a bad thing.
17:08She boxed it off.
17:09Cassandra?
17:09Yeah, tap it.
17:10That size brick
17:11and all that in the middle
17:12is plasterboard.
17:17There's something behind here.
17:19What?
17:20You have to have a look.
17:22We have to look now.
17:23Whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:25We need to look.
17:27Out of the way, lunatic.
17:29Out of the way.
17:30There is something back there.
17:48It's heavy.
17:49It's heavy.
17:49It's heavy.
17:56Oh, God.
17:57Oh, God.
17:57Oh, God.
17:58Oh, God.
17:58Oh, God.
18:00Oh, God.
18:01When you're feeling the air, your head on the ground
18:19Try this trick and spin it, yeah
18:27Your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it
18:32And you ask yourself, where is my mind?
18:37Where is my mind?
18:39Where is my mind?
18:43I wake up in the water, see it swimming
18:58Are you okay?
19:21A bit shaken
19:22Why did you come here?
19:24Cassandra was one of dad's clients, been there, clearing out his office
19:29I saw her name on one of the files, I was curious
19:33What if the body is Neil, the boyfriend, Neil Croft, he disappeared when she was murdered
19:42But if that was him up there, he can't be our killer
19:46Let's not get ahead of ourselves, we don't know who the body is yet
19:51You understand that we're going to have to take a statement?
19:53You understand that we're going to have to take a statement?
19:55You understand that we're going to have to take a statement?
20:01Get in the car
20:02I need the air Seth
20:06Get in the car.
20:29I need the air, Seth.
20:30Get in the fucking car, you fucking fucker.
20:36Get in the fucking car.
21:06Are you really serious?
21:07So you better start talking or you and me are going to fall the fuck out.
21:11Okay, I'll tell you the truth, Scott.
21:16We might need a drink.
21:25I've spoken with my dad and Cassandra Rhodes.
21:33I know, they're dead.
21:38Care to elaborate?
21:39It started with Cassandra.
21:43I was in my dad's office.
21:45I was exhausted.
21:46I lay on his couch just to be in his space.
21:50My eyes start to close.
21:52And then suddenly...
21:57And then she walks, Cassandra, like she's there for a session.
22:03This is not a dream?
22:05Not a dream.
22:06So are you on medication?
22:07Say this.
22:08Okay.
22:09So what did she say?
22:10The, uh, the dead woman?
22:11She doesn't think she's dead.
22:12She thinks she's there for therapy.
22:13She thinks I'm my dad.
22:14And she says...
22:15Did you hear me?
22:16I said I've been having those thoughts.
22:17And so you do what?
22:18Because you're not your father.
22:19I kind of played along.
22:20Why?
22:21I don't know.
22:22I don't know.
22:23I thought maybe she could help me understand why my dad took his own life.
22:26Did she?
22:27No, she, uh, she spoke about a stalker.
22:30And Neil.
22:31I don't know.
22:32I don't know.
22:33I thought maybe she could help me understand why my dad took his own life.
22:36Did she?
22:37No, she, uh, she spoke about a stalker.
22:40And Neil.
22:41I don't know.
22:42I don't know.
22:43A stalker.
22:44And Neil, her boyfriend, who, who was there today.
22:54Okay, so when is your dad coming to it?
22:57Last night, I was back in his office thinking about his funeral, thinking about Sutton, all
23:02kinds of thoughts.
23:03I, I hear these.
23:08I look up.
23:11And there he is.
23:13What does he say?
23:15He says...
23:16There will be others.
23:18Others who were murdered.
23:21Like Cassandra.
23:24And me.
23:26Did he say who killed him?
23:28No.
23:30Did you ask?
23:31No.
23:32I know this all sounds insane, but how does any of what's happened today make any sense
23:44if I'm lying?
23:45I guess there's only one way to find out.
23:50What happened?
23:51So this is where the, the statue was.
23:53Neil was talking.
23:54Cassandra was, was, uh, getting angry, uh, comments about her mother being a whore.
23:59And suddenly, she grabs the statue.
24:02She was wearing the red scarf, the, the, the one she was murdered with.
24:06So you're saying she killed, sorry, might have killed, the man we suspect is her killer.
24:11And this murder that may have happened 25 years ago, you saw it happen today.
24:15Cass.
24:16I know how it sounds, Seth.
24:18Right?
24:19If a patient started saying these things to me, I'd, I'd be worried.
24:21Right?
24:22Outside this room, I'm a rational man.
24:24But in here...
24:25Okay.
24:31Alright, let's recreate the circumstances.
24:33The exact circumstances in which they appear.
24:36Should we close our eyes?
24:46Yeah.
24:47Yes.
24:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:54And they just appear.
24:56There's a sound first, always a sound first.
24:59And then, then, then they arrive.
25:02Mm-hmm.
25:06Okay, lads, I've got no explanation.
25:23All I know is I can't tell my colleagues that you saw a man who was probably dead get attacked
25:29by a woman who was definitely dead in the office of your dead father, who, by the way,
25:34says he didn't die by suicide and that we should be looking for his killer.
25:46Go for a piss.
26:04You can't tell people you're seeing ghosts, son. They put you in the loony bin.
26:18Seth?
26:19I know I shouldn't use the term loony bin, of course, not these days. It has derogatory connotations or something.
26:33But then, again, nobody knows what to call anything anymore, especially people my age.
26:36That the age I was.
26:39How can you be here?
26:41We buried you.
26:45What's happening to me, Dad? Why, why, why am I seeing you?
26:50Why do you think?
26:51I'm not a patient.
26:52Everyone's a patient, son. In this room or not.
26:55So, how are you?
26:57Good. Yeah, good, apart from seeing dead people.
27:01Oh, yeah. Tell me about Cassandra.
27:03Well, the last time she was here she bashed her boyfriend's head in with a fucking statue.
27:07Well, she did?
27:08Yes. In this office.
27:09Well, I always encouraged her to stand up for herself.
27:10She died a year after Sutton told me somebody was stalking her. What if there's a connection? Cassandra, Neil, they think I'm you. They walk in here, these, these, uh, ghosts.
27:36And it's like, it's like a, like a recreation, like a time machine. And all my professional knowledge is telling me this cannot be happening. It must be a trick in my mind, but I'm seeing them. And they're right in front of me.
27:48Okay. Okay. Well, yeah, let's theorize. These people are speaking in the way they spoke in my sessions. And this room has heard so many stories.
28:05Misery, spoken so many times it's seeped into the walls, become part of the very structure that tried to contain it.
28:11Why, and now...
28:12What? It's coming out of the walls because you're dead?
28:15Perhaps.
28:16You say, they think you're me, but that means they're living in the present. They're present. So they aren't ghosts. Ghosts would know they were dead.
28:27Well, you know you're dead.
28:28But I am the ghost of head shrinking past. Here to seek revenge. Dad, where are my chains?
28:38Dad. Dad, please.
28:43Sorry. I don't get out much. You miss this, don't you? You and me, hashing it out. But you're a psychiatrist. You know death is final. That you and I will never be together again. And that's hard.
29:10For either of us to accept.
29:14So you're saying, I miss you so much, I'm manifesting you.
29:21Dad, who murdered you?
29:24I don't know.
29:25Please, Dad, please. If you didn't die by suicide, then you must know who killed you. And if someone murdered you, that means there could be a connection to Sutton's murder. Please.
29:48My beautiful Sutton.
29:53You said, um, it's not over. In the note. Is that about Sutton? Dad? Dad? Dad? Is that about Sutton?
30:15I don't know Sutton.
30:19Laz.
30:23You okay?
30:26Who are you talking to?
30:37Let's get out of here.
30:38Let's get out of here.
30:39Faking again?
31:06Yeah.
31:09I've been looking into the juniper bush.
31:12It's just a book, Jen. I should never have mentioned it.
31:15No, no, no. Listen.
31:16In some countries, it signifies reincarnation.
31:20There's cultures that burn the berries,
31:22and the smoke is part of a kind of ritual purification,
31:25and some think that it helps stimulate contact with other worlds.
31:30And then there's a darker interpretation.
31:33Being?
31:34That the juniper wood drives away demonic beings.
31:36Well, that's bullshit.
31:38No, but he could have placed it there as a message.
31:41Do you think he got it into his head that he could be with her again?
31:44It's possible. Anything's possible.
31:46Do you think he thought that him and Sutton could...
31:48Jen!
31:49I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm tired. I'm going up.
31:56If forensics formally identify the body as Neil Croft,
32:11I think we should entertain the idea that this could be the murder weapon.
32:26And if she killed him, then who killed her?
32:32You said it's not over. Then you'll know. Is that about Sutton?
32:39Yeah. Is that about Sutton?
32:44You said it's not for us a....
32:53We didn't see melon during this娘 say it's looting.
32:58Please.
33:29Hello?
33:36Hello?
33:47Hello?
33:57Hello?
33:59Hello?
34:01Hello?
34:05Hello?
34:07Hello?
34:17Hello?
34:25Hello?
34:27Hello?
34:37Hello?
34:39Hello?
34:49Hello?
34:51Hello?
34:52Hello?
34:53Hello?
34:55Hello?
34:57Hello?
34:59Hello?
35:01Hello?
35:03Hello?
35:05Hello?
35:07Hello?
35:09Hello?
35:11Hello?
35:13Hello?
35:15Do you want some lemonade?
35:17I know what you think of me, or at least what you thought of me.
35:25My condolences, by the way, for your father.
35:33And yeah, for a long time I thought you mattered my sister.
35:39You weren't the only one.
35:43Strange question to ask whilst having a lemonade, but...
35:49Did you?
35:53Did you?
35:55So I'll tell you how I met Sutton.
35:59And she's a lovely girl, by the way.
36:01Very polite.
36:03She's looking for a dog.
36:05Razzles.
36:07Your grandparents' dog?
36:09I helped her search all the gardens and yards.
36:13And eventually we found him.
36:15She is so happy.
36:17And she brought me that toy dog as a thank you.
36:23The difficulty I had was why you were on our street.
36:27You were seen hanging around on our street the night she died.
36:31Hanging around? You see?
36:33Newspaper language.
36:35The weirdo.
36:37The recluse.
36:39Anyone a little different and they don't like it.
36:41We did have a previous complaint against you
36:43for stealing underwear from a girl's house,
36:45so it wasn't exactly unfounded.
36:47You've never done anything irrational.
36:49I was young.
36:53So why were you there?
36:55Jo?
37:01I was in my twenties.
37:03Still a virgin.
37:05And I had a crush on the woman from number five.
37:07I wasn't a confident boy,
37:09but I'd overheard her in the post office earlier
37:11saying that she was going out that night.
37:13So I was trying to manufacture a way to speak to her.
37:17I had this idea that I'd point out a problem with her car.
37:19A problem that I'd created.
37:21The trouble was I wasn't exactly sure when she'd be going out.
37:25Right.
37:27Obviously I'd seen you all heading out to the prom earlier.
37:29I told this to the police.
37:31I also told them that.
37:33Later on I saw Billy McIntyre arrive back at your house in his car
37:35and your sister climb into it.
37:37Billy?
37:39I seemed unhappy with her.
37:41I had quite a fierce argument.
37:51Billy yelled in her face and sped away like a rally driver.
37:55So what did you do after you saw that?
37:59Nothing.
38:01A tiny event in my evening.
38:03I assumed what anyone would assume.
38:05Boyfriend, girlfriend, Tiff.
38:07And went home?
38:08No.
38:09Rather than wait for the woman at number five.
38:19You entered my house without permission.
38:23Did I call the police?
38:27No.
38:29I offered your lemonade and answered your questions.
38:33So if you want to interrogate me like it's 1998 again...
38:40I suggest you leave.
38:50I'd like to take Sutton's Teddy.
38:55I'll get it for you.
38:59I should have moved away.
39:07That would have looked like guilt.
39:11I thought it would die down.
39:16Billy McIntyre never missed a chance to drag my name through the mud.
39:19And the police have my card mouth from day on.
39:25Every time someone gets mugged, groped,
39:27I guess who they come questioning.
39:29There's still rooms.
39:31Online, not a scrap of evidence, but they don't care.
39:33They don't care.
39:40Can you imagine how it feels?
39:44To have people look at you with suspicion.
39:50Even now.
39:51You.
39:52You.
39:53What's going on?
40:07Random question.
40:09Do you still speak to Billy McIntyre?
40:11Wow.
40:12Where did that come from? Have you seen him in a vision?
40:15He was at your dad's funeral, but that's pretty sharpish.
40:18Do you still have his number?
40:19Probably. Unless he's changed it.
40:22Suppose I could ask Margot.
40:24Yeah, his mum will definitely have it, but what are you going to do? Just call him up out of the blue?
40:28Why not?
40:28Are we connected with Bella? Why not Billy?
40:31Well, let me think.
40:32Because Billy was a bellend.
40:35Yeah, fair point.
40:37If I stopped speaking to bellends, I wouldn't be talking to...
40:42Very good.
40:48Yep.
40:50Cheers.
41:12That...
41:24Hey, Dad.
41:28What's that?
41:40Hey, Dad.
