00:00To be continued...
02:01Not now, Mickey. Thank you.
02:04Migraine.
02:06Very bad.
02:08Just thought it seemed a bit smeary, sir.
02:12Sorry, yes.
02:13Perhaps I'll go and water the hydrangeas.
02:16Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:32Oh, we're going to put in the hole.
02:47Oh.
02:49Oh.
02:50Oh.
02:50Oh.
02:52Oh.
02:52Oh.
02:53Oh.
02:53Oh.
02:54I don't know.
03:24I don't know.
03:54I don't know.
04:24I don't know.
04:54I don't know.
05:24I don't know.
05:54I don't know.
06:00It was...
06:00I mean, right here.
06:02It was...
06:04Oh, God.
06:11The sea must have taken me.
06:12Yeah, it's about a snake.
06:26They're going to get back to me.
06:29Hello?
06:30So, can you hear me?
06:31Okay, wheelchair coming through.
06:33Mind your backs, folks, for the camera.
06:34Here we go, then, everyone.
06:35Quiet, please.
06:40Stand by and action.
06:43Mentalism.
06:44Power of the ancient seers to predict and control the innermost workings of the human mind can still be demonstrated here today on the streets of West London.
06:53Madam, madam, I wonder if you could look deep into my eyes and give me any number between 1 and 50.
07:0226.
07:04Thank you very much for your time.
07:06And cut there.
07:07Reset.
07:07Going again.
07:08Three fucking days I've been at this, Jonathan.
07:12I'm running out of shoe leather.
07:14Sir, could you give me any number between 1 and 50?
07:1817.
07:19Any number between 1 and 50?
07:2033.
07:21Any number between 1 and 50?
07:23Two and a half.
07:2610.
07:2627.
07:2711.
07:2825.
07:2842.
07:298.
07:2949.
07:307.
07:3025.
07:3116.
07:3236.
07:33Okay.
07:3536, did you say?
07:37Yeah.
07:38Okay, if you'd care to lift up my shirt.
07:42God!
07:45Oh!
07:47Oh, my God!
07:49That's the one.
07:53Oh, my God!
08:23Mr. Daniels?
08:40You don't know me?
08:43No.
08:43But I've been expecting you.
08:47Sadly, Mr. Klaus, it's our experience that most operations in the Burbank, media-related
08:52ones especially, make very little provision for ethnic minorities or for those with disabilities
08:58or special needs.
08:59Maybe if we just move that letter in there a bit further up.
09:03Okay.
09:03There you go.
09:06Right, Jonathan Cree.
09:07So, you want to talk to the other one?
09:08Uh, yeah, please.
09:10Oh, you're not serious.
09:11For example, after that assault this morning, you were talking about upping your security?
09:19So, we might like to consider this gentleman.
09:22His name's Joseph Chellier-Binsky.
09:24Skills include boxing, fencing, martial arts.
09:27Oh.
09:27I mean, if anyone could do with a brain.
09:29Well, he looks perfect.
09:31Though it seems to me, Felicia, we need more guidance on these matters, which, um, I don't
09:36know, maybe we could, uh, discuss over dinner.
09:39Hi.
09:40Hi.
09:42Ah, now, this is Jonathan, who I took on as my creative assistant, um, six years ago,
09:50wasn't it?
09:51And what a boon he's been ever since.
09:53Felicia here is acting as special liaison with the council to give us some pointers on
09:57equal opportunities.
09:58A pleasure to meet you, Jonathan.
10:00Well done.
10:02Okay, um, I have to dash, but, uh, yes, dinner would be nice.
10:06I'll give you a call.
10:07Take care now.
10:11It's bringing you back to the real world for a second.
10:15Got a major crisis on our hands with the snake trick.
10:18To no one's surprise, health and safety aren't too keen on the idea of us using a live python
10:22in the act, as in their view, these creatures can be rather dangerous.
10:25Well, yes, that's sort of the point.
10:28What would they suggest?
10:29You perform a death-defying escape from the coils of a very large earthworm?
10:32Leave it with me, Jonathan.
10:33Now that I've set up a little interface with the local authority, I'm sure these problems
10:37can be simply resolved.
10:39What order do you want it in?
11:03My name's Geraldine Baccaro.
11:07I'm originally from Sacramento, now living in L.A.
11:10I work for the Tri-State Aeronautics Corporation as Senior Vice President, Expansion and Development.
11:16Over the last 18 months of his life, I was Justin Mallory's secret lover.
11:22I'll put the kettle on then.
11:26What, you're just going to take my word for it?
11:29I could be anybody.
11:31I've got a very trusty nature.
11:33Twenty years, you shared a lot of confidences, but...
11:38Some things were just left unsaid.
11:40I didn't know when or where or who she was, but I knew.
11:44And I knew there were complications.
11:48One complication.
11:51My husband, a U.S. congressman who didn't take to the idea of a messy divorce,
11:55lest it taint his oh-so-wholesome image.
12:01And when the news came through, what had happened, I...
12:06It's all wrong.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:08That's something upset him that night.
12:12So much that he just loses it and flies out to sea with a headful of sour mash straight into a bunch of rocks.
12:22That afternoon, I faxed him with good news.
12:27It turned out Rex, my husband, was finally ready to put us out of our misery and let go.
12:31I wanted to call desperately to tell him, but I was already late for a meeting,
12:38so I just fired it off like a quick one-liner to make his day.
12:44Guess what?
12:45Pressing Rex for a divorce again this morning.
12:48He said no one would have to suffer much longer.
12:51Talk to you tonight, Geraldine.
12:52From the way it was all screwed up on the floor, I'd say this was the very thing that upset him.
13:04But that's not logical.
13:06I mean, there's no way we're getting the whole picture here.
13:09Sadly, the only one who can make sense of it isn't here anymore.
13:16Well, then again...
13:17You know, he was desperate to believe there was something else.
13:25But all those years,
13:27knee-deep in scams and contracts,
13:30cranky mediums and phony psychics,
13:33what did he ever find to give him one grain of hope?
13:38I don't know, Mr. Daniels.
13:39Wouldn't that be his greatest triumph?
13:42If Justin Mallory, ghost hunter,
13:44returned to us now.
13:47To explain his own death.
13:56Here we go.
13:58Hi.
13:59I don't remember going this well.
14:02That was a reaction to where you stepped in some dog shit.
14:05I moved it along.
14:07All right.
14:13Yeah, no.
14:13Yeah, okay.
14:16Tell him I'll be right down.
14:19My new bodyguard.
14:20What was his name again?
14:23Joseph Chelyabinski.
14:26Joseph.
14:27Joseph.
14:28So, um, you're nearly through here.
14:30Two more minutes.
14:34Oh, hiya.
14:35You well?
14:36Hi, um, I was just in the next block down with Brendan,
14:40so, um, wondered if you fancied a coffee?
14:51Mr. Klaus?
14:56Joseph?
14:57Hey, thanks for the gig, man.
14:58There's a lot of prejudice out there.
15:00But you're above all that, right?
15:02I appreciate it.
15:10How are we doing with that jacket?
15:12Let me give you a hand there.
15:15Ah, Jonathan.
15:16I don't think you've met my new personal security advisor.
15:20You've got to be Joseph Chelyabinski.
15:23How do you do?
15:23Hey, I know who I am.
15:25What's your story?
15:26And back off, okay,
15:27till I give you clearance to approach.
15:29I beg your pardon?
15:30You heard me.
15:31Eat the brickwork.
15:32Come on, spread out.
15:34That goes for Little Miss Muffet as well.
15:43Yeah?
15:44What you losers bumping at?
15:45It's not an eye test, Granny.
15:47Come on, let's keep it moving.
15:51Yes.
15:52You know what, Joseph.
15:54I think it's time I was getting along now
15:55to the theatre, so, um...
15:57No problem.
15:57And, uh, Jonathan.
15:59Guess we'll, uh, catch up later.
16:01I'm out.
16:04I'm out.
16:04Then, uh, four, two, one...
16:05Yeah.
16:07How many can we take?
16:08I'm out.
16:09Seriously.
16:10Yeah.
16:11Where did you go?
16:12Oh, yeah.
16:13Yeah.
16:14Oh, yeah.
16:16Yeah.
16:16dentro.
16:17That's what I think.
16:18I don't know exactly how.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Oh, yeah.
16:22Yeah.
16:23Yeah.
16:24Oh, yeah.
16:26Oh, yeah.
16:26Yeah, I want to watch my panties today.
16:31Oh, thank you.
16:55It's a very lovely spot.
16:57Yes.
16:57But for you, there is sadness here.
17:05You know about the accident.
17:07I have never passed this way before.
17:11I know only what I feel.
17:14In the air.
17:18A voice.
17:21Calling.
17:25You hear?
17:28What do you hear?
17:31One whose life was lost in this place.
17:35Someone very precious to you.
17:38It's as if he wishes to communicate.
17:43Yes.
17:44You are to speak to him now.
17:50Ask him.
17:52You are to ask him.
17:54Five questions.
17:57Please, ask.
17:59Five questions?
18:02Five questions.
18:04How are you?
18:06Dumb.
18:07Where are you?
18:15How did you die?
18:16How did you die?
18:21Do you still love me?
18:23Do you still love me?
18:24Um.
18:30Seventeen across.
18:31Something hideous got bigger we hear.
18:34Eight letters.
18:36What the hell is that?
18:37This is strange.
18:45He has already answered these questions.
18:48Before we came.
18:53Beneath you.
18:55In the sand.
18:56I must go now.
19:02I will come again.
19:04No, wait.
19:05What do you mean?
19:10Beneath me?
19:11Beneath me?
19:15Beneath me?
19:24Beneath me?
19:24Beneath me?
19:25Beneath me?
19:26Beneath me?
19:26Beneath me?
19:54Beneath me?
19:55How are you?
19:55I'm good.
19:57Where are you?
19:58I have passed beyond.
20:00How did you die?
20:01I crashed my boat.
20:04Do you still love me?
20:06I'll never stop loving you.
20:09Something hideous got bigger we hear.
20:14Gruesome.
20:16Hideous?
20:17Got bigger gruesome?
20:18Come on.
20:19So I'm with you from deep within his watery grave.
20:23He sent you a message in a bottle.
20:25His bottle?
20:26His favorite make of bourbon that was underneath me the whole time.
20:30Answers to questions even I couldn't have predicted.
20:33Oh, look.
20:35I know what you're thinking, Mickey.
20:36Not this time.
20:37This is for real.
20:39He's here with us still.
20:42What happened?
20:55You get lost?
20:56Um, no.
20:59I went into Jonathan, actually.
21:01With Mr Klaus and his new minder.
21:03So we went for a coffee and...
21:07And how is he?
21:08He's fine.
21:10Quite fine.
21:12Good-o.
21:15Brendan, I sometimes wonder whether you...
21:17Hmm?
21:18Well, whether it ever quite sank in.
21:20You know, that I was quite attracted to Jonathan at one time.
21:24I mean, I never actually lowered the little drawbridge, as my mum would say, but we had our moments.
21:33Hey, you can stop worrying.
21:35I can?
21:36Life is full of lost liaisons.
21:40And when are we ever masters of our own hearts?
21:43Well, that's right.
21:45We've got too much trust in each other to feel guilty about something so stupid.
21:49I mean, the fact that I still happen to be friendly with an old boyfriend.
21:54Or that I was once married to a man.
21:55It happens.
21:56My God, it's hardly a reason to...
21:58What did you just say?
22:00This book that arrived this morning.
22:19I can't believe what you're telling me.
22:33You and Alvin Turtlebaum.
22:37It was my first time in the States.
22:39I was young, impulsive.
22:42It was more a marriage of convenience.
22:44Convenience?
22:45He was a major player with the studios.
22:47It opened a lot of doors.
22:48Of course, to him, I was just a trophy wife.
22:51Someone who looked good on his arm at parties.
22:53I think I'm going to be sick in this drawer.
22:54Look, it was short and sweet.
22:56What was?
22:57Six months we were together, if that.
23:01Quite touched.
23:01He still remembers me.
23:03So did you and he have...
23:06Oh, good God, no!
23:08A co-production deal.
23:10His lawyers would have eaten me alive.
23:14Look, it was just one of those mad episodes that happened in life.
23:18I hardly thought it worth mentioning.
23:20And can I say, I think we're being a little bit homophobic here, aren't we?
23:24Don't take that patronising tone with me.
23:30I find your entire conduct here duplicitous are quite staggeringly insensitive.
23:35Duplicit...
23:35What happened to too much trust in each other?
23:37Sod that!
23:39I've got to get away from here.
23:41Somehow get my head round all this.
23:42I haven't called at a bad moment.
23:51So all right then, let's hear it.
23:54Sorry?
23:56The choice remark you've been working on ever since we left London, let's get it over with.
24:00No, I was just wondering what the technical term for that was.
24:03It's not so much bigamy as bugamy.
24:06Oh, very good.
24:07Positively Swiftian.
24:08You feel better now?
24:09Much better, thank you.
24:12Look, you didn't have to come out with me on this one.
24:14I could have got the train.
24:18So who was Justin Mallory anyway?
24:21A man who went round exposing hoaxes about ghosts and spirits?
24:25A bit like Houdini of old.
24:27The irony here being, it's now his own ghost we've got to lay to rest.
24:42Oh, there's no question it's a trick.
24:45And a bloody good one.
24:48Professionally and very meticulously plotted.
24:52Which begs the inevitable question...
24:55Why?
24:57Credulous Californian who's desperate to make contact with her dear departed.
25:02I suppose it's a cinch she's going to lap it all up.
25:05And?
25:06What if...
25:08You're saying they never did find his body again.
25:11How can we be sure he was actually dead?
25:15You just have to take my word for that.
25:17Oh, Ashley.
25:19Took care of all the paperwork.
25:21Dictation, whatever.
25:24I think that's the last of the acknowledgements, the signature.
25:27Sadly, I come from a family of undertakers.
25:30And I've seen what goes inside a coffin.
25:33Too often to be fooled.
25:34I tell you, if there'd been so much as a shred of life left that night.
25:40Oh, sorry.
25:54This is, er...
25:55Of course it is.
25:56You know, he was quite a fan.
25:58Had that same way of seeing a different side to things.
26:01You'd talk to him about death and decay and how horrible it all was.
26:07And he'd point to a tree in autumn.
26:09Or once when I said all nuclear explosions should be banned.
26:12You know what he said to me?
26:14Then there'd be no stars.
26:19Beyond the body, there is nothing else.
26:24Nothing for her to find.
26:25She said she'd come back.
26:32What the hell is her game?
26:35I have travelled through many lands, met many who grieve as you do.
26:40Those who seek solace from souls that have passed on.
26:43Yes.
26:44Whose thoughts are revealed to you.
26:45Here, where he lived and worked.
27:00Often they return, unseen, from the other side.
27:06Yes.
27:07The presence is strong here.
27:10A whisper.
27:12From the sea breeze.
27:13You hear it?
27:13As if he seeks to guide you.
27:19His wisdom is everything to me.
27:22What does he see?
27:25The future?
27:26My future?
27:28Please tell me.
27:30A journey.
27:33Soon.
27:36To a place of angels.
27:37Of gentle waters.
27:43Where the man of peace shall prevail over the man of war.
27:50And you will bid farewell, finally.
27:57To the king.
28:02He talks in riddles.
28:03I'm sorry.
28:04No.
28:08No.
28:09A place of angels.
28:11Los Angeles.
28:11That's very clear.
28:12And my office on Fountain Avenue would be the gentle waters.
28:16With a man of peace.
28:19On my desk currently, I have two contract tenders.
28:23For Pacific Union.
28:25And general and western.
28:29Pacific.
28:30Pacifist.
28:31Man of peace.
28:33Man of war.
28:34General.
28:34So Pacific must prevail.
28:38And farewell to the king.
28:40Well, Rex, I guess.
28:42My husband, who...
28:44Sadly, we just split up, so...
28:47Look.
28:48We said once, Justin and I.
28:50If ever this should happen.
28:52That we'd have a code word, you know?
28:55Like, a completely random word.
28:57I think he just stuck a pen in a dictionary or something.
29:00And only the two of us would ever know it.
29:04That's proof.
29:05It is really him.
29:07Of course.
29:10Yes.
29:15He tries now to tell me.
29:19He tries.
29:21Oh, Larry.
29:21Oh, Larry.
29:24Oh, Larry.
29:26Oh, Larry.
29:27What is it?
29:31Are you all right?
29:32Oh.
29:34Another force suddenly.
29:36I don't know.
29:38Something horrible.
29:41And destructive.
29:43Come on.
29:52What in God's name?
29:53Buddy.
29:53I'm a man of something.
29:54I don't know.
29:55I fell over.
29:55I've got your gluey hair.
29:56They're all stuck to mine.
29:57Thank you very much.
30:02Stop pulling.
30:04Ah.
30:05Ah.
30:08Come on.
30:13Look, I can't do this.
30:14Can we just pause for a moment, do you think?
30:20Sort ourselves out.
30:21God, you're such a hippopotamus.
30:22I mean, remind me never to say you ballroom dancing.
30:25Ballroom dancing?
30:26Just try and keep in step.
30:28We're losing her.
30:29Two and a half miles we've been walking like this now, like a BBC publicity photo.
30:34You do realise my cervical vertebrae will be permanently kinked.
30:37You're permanently kinked.
30:42You're right, of course.
30:44We're never going to catch her like this.
30:46Nice.
30:47Come on.
30:58Let's go.
31:02I don't know.
31:32Here we go, folks. Shout if you're still hungry.
31:38Thanks. If I consume more than my own weight in pasta, I tend to get a bit sluggish, so...
31:45But it was very delicious, Mickey.
31:50Look, sorry for all the sneaking around today, but if it does turn out she's got some agenda...
31:57No if about that, I'd say. All that pantomime dialogue and RSC gypsy acting. We don't know her name or where she's from.
32:06And Ania Bellacci. And she and her husband are from a little village 20 miles south of Trieste.
32:12Okay. But I noticed she was signally unable to produce that code word when you mentioned it.
32:19Because some other malevolent force intervened.
32:22What say we just wait and see, Mr. Creek? She may yet surprise us all.
32:28This whole thing's giving me the willies, I tell you.
32:33Don't get me wrong, looking after him, his house...
32:36I mean...
32:38I had a lot of time for him as a person.
32:41As a ghost?
32:43It's all past for his brother, this place now, of course.
32:48In New Zealand.
32:50Seems in no hurry to kick me out, but...
32:53Oh, bloody harvest flies. Look at them.
32:57Get everywhere this time of year.
32:59And they itch to buggery.
33:01As soon as he hoover one lot up, in come another squadron.
33:06How old Capitan would this be?
33:10Yosemite National Park?
33:12Spot on.
33:13The demon of the Sierra Nevada.
33:15Turned out to be a bear that trod in some fluorescent paint.
33:18Lovely part of the world, by all accounts.
33:20Odd choice of photo to keep by your bed, though, would you say?
33:23Everybody struck me.
33:25Too busy trying to keep it clean.
33:27Sorry?
33:29I don't know, there was always like this...
33:32smear in the middle of the glass.
33:34Didn't matter how many times I tried to clean it off.
33:36Next day there, it was back again.
33:38So...
33:42Do you know what I reckon?
33:45What's that?
33:47I made far too much spaghetti tonight.
33:50I mean, how you can just glibly say it's a trick?
33:54How could it be a trick?
33:55When it was right there underneath her all the time.
33:57Answers to five questions she hadn't even asked yet.
34:00Yes, I'm sorry.
34:02Much more likely that the ghost of Justin Mallory foretold the future from the bottom of the sea
34:08and then sent her a message in a bottle that could only be located by a psychic gypsy woman.
34:13Just clear your mind of all that paranormal junk and think about what was physically possible,
34:19however trite or contrived it may seem.
34:24Look, if you want to do something useful, go and have a look in those huts.
34:28Will I try and focus?
34:30Yes, sir!
34:32Would I be looking for anything in particular?
34:34Absolutely.
34:35But I don't want to cloud your objectivity.
34:37No!
34:38No, I can't.
34:39No!
34:40Oh!
34:41Oh!
34:42Oh, my God.
35:12Oh, my God.
35:42Oh, my God.
36:12Oh, my God.
36:13Have you gone completely loopy?
36:16I was thinking more, I don't know, loose floorboard or...
36:21Yes, well, it would sort of help, wouldn't it, if I knew what was a clue and what wasn't?
36:25hut number one which proves
36:31doesn't prove anything
36:34it certainly fits in very neatly
36:35there can't be their campfire
36:38still burning like that, surely
36:40ok
36:45let's start with the fact she'd already been to that same spot
36:48on the beach a couple of times before
36:50because of the rock
36:51clearly it'd be impossible to plant a bottle
36:54there with a note in it after the event
36:56clearly
36:57but what she could do
36:59is pre-rig the empty bottle
37:01the trick then is to get the piece of paper inside
37:04without her noticing
37:05and how is she supposed to have done that
37:07using a specially trained lugworm
37:09to nudge it in with its snout
37:11hold that thought
37:12nurture it
37:14and expand it into something a bit more practical
37:17and you're pretty much there
37:18because then I suggest all they needed was a very long hosepipe
37:22and some cable
37:22and a half decent radio connection
37:25you are to ask him
37:41five questions
37:43how did you die
37:44how did you die
37:45something hideous got bigger
37:47we hear
37:48this is strange
37:59he has already answered these questions
38:01before we came
38:03beneath you
38:05the most impressive thing
38:07was the speed
38:08with which she got that crossword clue
38:09when you think there was no way of telling
38:11what she was going to fire at him
38:13the guy must have had a pretty quick break
38:14and that's where I've seen him before
38:19now suddenly this is making a lot more sense
38:22is it?
38:23oh well that's a relief
38:24at any rate
38:24I'd hate to think I had the faintest clue
38:27what you were talking about
38:27am I the only one who can see what's happening here?
38:48it's like she was his voice now
38:50and any minute
38:51he was going to tell us
38:53how he died
38:55and who was responsible
38:57we don't know
39:00maybe never will know
39:02that was her body in there
39:04and that stuff on the beach
39:06I've told you wasn't hard to engineer
39:08right
39:09with this giant catheter
39:12they carry around with them
39:13credit me with the power to discriminate
39:16Mr. Creek
39:17between truth
39:19and trickery
39:21and you know
39:22have a little faith in people
39:24hey
39:32what have you got?
39:33tits for eyeballs?
39:36go on leg it lady
39:37and uh
39:42how long is it going to take to reset?
39:44so I've got about 25
39:45hey
39:50that thing in there
39:51with the snake
39:51that is the dog's bollocks
39:52I've no idea
39:53why you do that
39:54oh man
39:55what are you playing at?
39:56that's a lot of gravy
39:57for a little liver
39:58will you give it here?
39:59no worries Mr. Klaus
40:00I'm in total control
40:01of my faculties
40:03we'll see you after now
40:12no doubt we'll know
40:16when he's found it
40:16no doubt we'll know
40:18when he's found it
40:19and every couple of hours
40:33maybe just hose him down
40:34with some soda
40:34I think we can safely assume
40:49this is the man
40:51who conceived it all
40:52Leo Jorgensen
40:54for 20 years
40:56one of the Las Vegas
40:57strip's leading mentalists
41:00or psychic magicians
41:02and a known family friend
41:04of certain organised crime syndicates
41:07no idea who she was
41:10an assistant of some kind
41:12he wrote in to front it all
41:13what's that supposed to mean?
41:16it means
41:17now they've achieved
41:17their objective
41:18our two bogus gypsies
41:20have almost certainly
41:21buggered off now
41:21back where they came from
41:23leaving behind
41:24a burnt out caravan
41:25and a skeleton
41:25they've probably dug up
41:26from the local churchyard
41:27to keep us guessing
41:28sorry
41:29achieved their objective
41:31what objective?
41:32I'm struggling
41:34to see the point of all this
41:35well the point of it all
41:36was never hard to fathom
41:37even with an earful of glue
41:39she pretty much
41:40spelled it out for us
41:41in that boat shed
41:42spelled what out?
41:44when I get a reply
41:45to my email
41:46which probably won't be
41:47till the morning
41:47I'll hopefully get it
41:49all nailed down
41:50in the meantime
41:53it's a small problem
41:56of a ghost to lay
41:57wow
42:00for a dummy
42:01that looks almost human
42:02hey
42:03how are you?
42:04and it speaks
42:05actually
42:07you're just in time
42:08to see me affect
42:09my breathtaking escape
42:10in the swamp of doom
42:11as soon as they rounded up
42:13Barney
42:13right
42:14Barney is
42:16the daddy of them all
42:17I tell you
42:17but a real teddy bear
42:19when you meet him
42:20someone left the latch off
42:21and now he's gone
42:22slither about
42:23but he'll be around here
42:24someplace
42:25by the way
42:26how are you getting on
42:27with Joseph?
42:28he settling in okay?
42:29Joseph
42:30yes
42:31he's quite a character
42:33I've heard he can be
42:35a little tricky
42:36but
42:36the fact that
42:37someone like you
42:38is willing to give him
42:39a chance
42:40and allow him
42:40to express himself
42:41I just know
42:43he's going to turn
42:43his life around
42:44hey
42:45we do what we can
42:47so
42:47would you
42:53excuse me a second
42:56I think he's going to be
43:00him
43:00I think he's going to be
43:02his life around
43:02he's going to be
43:03and he's going to be
43:03in the way
43:04he's going to be
43:04I guess at least you didn't feel any pain.
43:34I guess at least you didn't feel any pain.
44:04I guess at least you didn't feel any pain.
44:34There is something in this house.
44:37I barely got a wink of sleep all night long.
44:41Oh my God.
44:43Oh my God.
44:45What is it?
44:48He's here.
44:50You see this?
44:52This was it.
44:53The word we agreed on.
44:54You want a proof, Mr. Creek?
44:56You're looking at it now.
44:58Clear, unequivocal proof.
45:06I can't argue with that.
45:09It's certainly proof.
45:10Proof that if you're desperate enough, you can be tricked into believing almost anything.
45:16I'm telling you, we swore neither of us would ever divulge this to another soul as long as we lived.
45:21And I'm not suggesting either of you did.
45:22So how do you explain the fact that a code word no other living being could have known about just magically appeared in my teacup?
45:28I'm afraid I put it there.
45:34I'm not denying luck played a part in it, but sometimes you just have to take a punt and see where it gets you.
45:40It's when you said that to her the other day.
45:42Like a completely random word.
45:45I think you just stuck a pen in a dictionary or something.
45:47It's a good a place to start as any.
46:05Took me half the night, of course, and could well have been a totally fruitless exercise.
46:10Point being, you see how quickly a miracle becomes mundane.
46:13The ghost of Justin Mallory was a fiction tailor-made for our two con-merchants.
46:20Once you've bought into it, they know you're going to hang on his every word from beyond the grave like some kind of oracle,
46:27making you a soft touch for a bit of very cynical manipulation.
46:35The real estate is now helpfully filled in the gaps.
46:38The company you work for in L.A., or I should say practically run,
46:44is currently considering two major tenders for a construction project worth several hundred million dollars.
46:51A serious commission that's basically in your gift.
46:56Let's say one of the two parties doesn't want to leave it to chance.
46:59Backhanders are a bit risky these days, so they put our psychic expert, Mr. Jorgensen, on the case,
47:06with a brief to nudge you in the right direction without you really being aware of it.
47:12After a week or two tracking your movements, they come up with a plan.
47:15First of all, to hook you with that message in a bottle,
47:18and then follow it up with a load of cryptic pronouncements from the spirit world
47:22that steered you very carefully towards their client.
47:27Pacific Union and General and Western, Man of Peace and Man of War.
47:32Where the Man of Peace shall prevail over the Man of War.
47:36The Pacific must prevail.
47:39Right.
47:39The names of the two companies were a gift.
47:43Is it me, or does this all sound a bit batty?
47:49No, it's too batty for words.
47:52But in a country where Nancy Reagan's horoscope can affect foreign policy,
47:57I guess we should keep an open mind.
48:02I, um, I need to make a few calls.
48:04So, do you miss her ever?
48:12Your friend in America.
48:15Who's that?
48:25The smear on that photograph.
48:30Do you know, that would make so much sense.
48:34Do you know the difference between landscape and portrait?
48:38I should hope so.
48:40One goes upwards, the other goes crossways.
48:43And how often do you see a landscape photo in a portrait-shaped frame?
48:50Utterly stupid, but that's why it's been bugging me.
48:53Why?
49:12Why?
49:12very good question i think it explains that strange smear on the glass that kept reappearing
49:23every morning but then why would he want to hide it during the daytime because there was someone
49:38else who was here in the daytime he didn't want to know about his relationship
49:42she would have been more than just a secretary to him wouldn't she
49:53if he'd wanted you know ever since her father had his stroke things seemed to weigh on her i suppose
50:03with no one else in her life it was a kind of lonely air to her but you don't think she'd
50:09have been capable of i mean just because he didn't want to know
50:13it doesn't make sense though does it if she had a crush on him
50:40and didn't know about geraldine where's her motive to kill him
50:44these bloody things keep getting your hair
50:48so
50:54Oh, my God.
51:24Oh, my God.
51:54Horrible feeling in my stomach.
51:57There was something a bit creepy, wasn't there, in her eyes.
52:02I suppose maybe having to look after a sick relative all the time, there's a kind of resentment there.
52:09I suppose.
52:10But why would you keep carrying that round with you afterwards?
52:14How do you mean afterwards?
52:16You said he'd had a stroke.
52:18Well, she nursed him through, right to the end.
52:20But her father's been dead nearly two years now.
52:23Oh, my God.
53:01You sick, twisted, murdering...
53:31You killed him!
53:40No!
53:41I would never, ever...
53:44I loved him!
53:46I loved him!
53:48I think we're all clear.
53:51Ashley needs some help.
53:53But I don't think she was ever a murderer.
53:56How can you say that?
53:58How do you know what happened?
54:00I don't.
54:01But on all the available evidence, I'm going to go for a long shot here and say...
54:07I think Justin Mallory was killed by a harvest fly.
54:11I don't know what happened.
54:12I don't know what happened.
54:13I don't know what happened.
54:14I don't know what happened.
54:15I don't know what happened.
54:16Someone we love dies.
54:18Fairly natural.
54:19We don't want to let go.
54:21We want them still to be there.
54:24And if you can't get behind the idea of a soul or a spirit...
54:29What was it she said?
54:32There is nothing else beyond the body.
54:35She physically dragged him away at the beach that night.
54:39So it was like...
54:41If she couldn't possess him in life.
54:44I know, but...
54:46When she said about coming from a family of undertakers...
54:50You didn't imagine she'd still have access...
54:53To all those things they used to...
54:57Oh.
55:00I think we can assume he was aware.
55:02How close to the edge she was.
55:04Clearly saw no reason to make things worse by leaving a photo lying around...
55:08Of the woman he planned to marry.
55:11I don't think there's any doubt about his intentions, is there?
55:15From everything we've seen and heard...
55:17Looking at a man who was...
55:19Deeply and very passionately in love.
55:23Which makes it all the more bizarre that when a fax comes in...
55:26To tell him the months of agony are over...
55:28He flies off in a drunken rage...
55:30Ends up losing control and crashing his boat.
55:33We're all agreed it doesn't add up.
55:35It's almost as if he read something completely different that night.
55:42Except...
55:44We know this is what he read.
55:47The words in this message couldn't have somehow changed between then and now.
55:50But what else could have changed?
55:56Something that was on this fax one minute...
55:59And then subsequently disappeared.
56:02That totally transformed the whole meaning.
56:05A comma.
56:06Guess what?
56:07Pressing Rex for a divorce again this morning...
56:08He said...
56:09No one would have to suffer much longer.
56:10Talk to you tonight, Geraldine.
56:11Has to be a cause for celebration.
56:13But to a man probably more insecure than we knew...
56:14Convinced that your husband was deliberately putting everyone through the wringer...
56:18How much damage would have been done...
56:19How much damage would have been done...
56:21By a small black speck...
56:23That had cruelly just landed in the wrong place?
56:24How much damage would have been done...
56:25By a small black speck...
56:26That had cruelly just landed in the wrong place?
56:30How much damage would have been done?
56:32How much damage would have been done?
56:33How much damage would have been done?
56:34How much damage would have been done?
56:37By a small black speck...
56:38That had cruelly just landed in the wrong place?
56:42...that had cruelly just landed in the wrong place.
57:03Guess what?
57:05Pressing Rex for a divorce again this morning.
57:08He said no.
57:10One would have to suffer much longer.
57:13Talk to you tonight, Geraldine.
57:40...
57:47So, you won't be in a hurry to get back then?
57:50Not only are we getting serious flat from the vertically challenged lobby,
57:55the animal rights lodged on to us as well now, because the snake had to be destroyed.
57:59Still, Adam's a professional. I expect he'll be able to rise above it.
58:04Come on!
58:06Come on, it's not that bad!
58:10How about you and him?
58:16You ready to forgive and forget?
58:19You want the truth, Jonathan?
58:21I've absolutely no idea where I am in my life just lately.
58:25One minute I think I know and then...
58:29All I know at this precise moment is...
58:32...how wonderful it is...
58:35...to just have a bit of space.
58:37How are we doing here, chaps?
58:42Another winner in the can, I hear.
58:44Can't wait to see that one on screen.
58:48Jewish New Year.
58:49Industry's like a ghost town.
58:50I thought, what the hell?
58:51I'll come down here and surprise the pair of you.
58:53You're looking flustered, Jonathan.
58:55Bad hair day.
58:56Bad hair day.
59:26Very bad hair day.

59:48He tries something new.
