00:25I'm sorry.
00:35Our children should never die before.
00:40Precious.
00:41Precious.
00:45Precious gifts we are given.
00:55This is a different level.
00:57It's a list.
00:58It's just a list.
00:59She's made up an i-
01:00Incident board.
01:01How can I go away now?
01:03But the kids will be back soon.
01:05We've got to get-
01:05Get all her stuff back to the village.
01:06She's just being obsessive.
01:08Okay?
01:09You know what she's like.
01:10Trust me.
01:11This is not-
01:10Having one of her full blown meltdowns.
01:12Alright?
01:13That your medical opinion is it?
01:14Well thank-
01:15Hopefully we're not relying on my medical opinion are we?
01:18Anyway, Sam's getting a cab that's been booked by-
01:20Sharon's going to see this ex-con mate of hers.
01:22Door.
01:23So what if this door knows where Chrissy's-
01:25Hiding out and you need to get all the details?
01:27I feel like I'm chasing shadows.
01:28I don't-
01:29Well that is the nature of criminal-
01:30Investigations.
01:31We need to work as a team.
01:35Because I can't have you having another phone call with Zoe crying down the phone from a prison cell like last night, can I?
01:40No, I cannot.
01:41We must crack the case.
01:43Get your daughter out regardless of what I might think about-
01:45And find the real pup.
01:46That's American for perpetrator.
01:48You follow up-
01:50Well, please.
01:51Right.
01:52Jean, have you remembered that you've got-
01:53Yes, yes.
01:54Psychiatrist appointment, I know blah blah blah-
01:55blah, blah, blah, blah, but there is still plenty of time
01:57to follow up a new line of investigation
01:58because I've set an alarm on my...
02:00on my phone.
02:01So, Moon, you're coming on the...
02:05It's a minefield.
02:10I can't say that.
02:11I've got my head round even half a bit yet myself.
02:15I...
02:17You heard them, didn't you?
02:18Nigel, social services assessments.
02:20You said that this is just the first step.
02:23I said that I don't hurt.
02:24Yeah, but it's not about the money, Phil.
02:25I mean, I'm just saying that this is going to be a long, hard process
02:29and I need to warn you.
02:30I need to warn you about that.
02:32This up at Springs...
02:34You see, it was all right.
02:36Doesn't it?
02:37First appropriate care home.
02:38Well, I visit, you know, I don't commit to it.
02:40It's not anything, does it?
02:41No, exactly.
02:42And it could take months, couldn't it, for us to find somewhere that...
02:45meets Nigel's needs and has a space available.
02:49But listen...
02:50You and me, we need to be on the same page about this, Phil, because I will not say yes.
02:55to anywhere that isn't absolutely perfect for him.
02:58Yes, I don't.
02:59Truly.
03:00All right, all right.
03:01And...
03:02But just remember, you know, this is, er...
03:05This is what Nigel wants.
03:06Yeah.
03:07This is what Nigel wants.
03:08Yeah.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Night.
03:12Night, Nigel, sweetheart.
03:13Night.
03:14Night, Nigel, sweetheart.
03:15Come on down.
03:16Put your coat on.
03:17We're going to be leaving in a minute.
03:20I'm just saying, I can sit in with you if you want.
03:22You know, for Jimmy's meeting, with a specialist.
03:25I've learned how to step up and all that.
03:28Cute.
03:29I'm giving you a raging ch-
03:30You know, on the day off, or you just run out of women to target this afternoon.
03:33But you can't...
03:35You can't just switch family on, when you're bored, Dad.
03:37Great.
03:38I don't know all that.
03:40You can take care of.
03:41Hey, bitch.

04:10this door and chrissy were really tight so you know there's no guarantee she's even going to talk
04:14to us
04:15that's where my powers of persuasion come in i think she knows anything
04:20going anywhere
04:25oh what do you need to lay
04:30so
04:35There are six steps to processing a crime scene now because I read it on the internet.
04:40You secure the scene, separate the witnesses, scan the scene.
04:45Sketch the scene, and two more I can't.
04:50Darling, the police have done all this.
04:53Yes, I got the wrong person, right?
04:55Unless you think so, who killed Anthony.
04:57Right.
04:58So, let me...
05:00Concentrate!
05:01And don't darling me, because I do like you, but you're not really my type.
05:05Did you know?
05:06It's common knowledge among investigators that...
05:10More often than not, the criminal returns to the scene of the crime.
05:15Look at all the detective novels.
05:16Just can't help themselves.
05:20Someone could be in there right now.
05:25With motive.
05:26Names.
05:27Oblivion.

09:59Absolutely.
10:00I am just a silent partner.
10:02Well, apart from that little...
10:04Appendix here.
10:05Right, I've dated it already, but if you sign both copies...
10:09Oh, no.
10:10First rule of business.
10:11Don't sign anything.
10:12You ain't read yet.
10:13Mum, it's a fair...
10:14Family business.
10:15Wolf at his house for the taking.
10:17Well...
10:18Not according to...
10:19After this it ain't.
10:20So what?
10:21Elaine.
10:22In print.
10:24What's your bad nerf in my breakfast?
10:26Just answer the question.
10:29What was she picking on me for?
10:30Jean, Jess, listen.
10:31I'm sorry.
10:32No, there's no need to apologise.
10:33Do not...
10:34What's your fault?
10:35She?
10:36She is playing us off against each other.
10:37Classic tactic.
10:38You what?
10:39Yes.
10:40Because where were you on the night in question?
10:43That...
10:44What was it?
10:45Having a walk.
10:47Do we really think...
10:49That that is a watertight alibi?
10:51Coming from someone who...
10:53Has a permanent stock...
10:54Of fake blood.
10:55Starts fires.
10:56Posts nasty reviews online.
10:58Blames me for it.
10:59Do you really think this is okay?
11:00Her trying to follow me into the bogs and listen in on my private conversation?
11:03Aha!
11:04She admits it.
11:05A private conversation in a toilet.
11:07You were whispering, weren't you?
11:09I guess.
11:10Yes.
11:11Whispering.
11:12And sounding very upset.
11:13What?
11:14Someone might say...
11:15Guilty.
11:19Who are you talking to Jasmine?
11:22Who are you talking to Jasmine?
11:24Have you got an accomplice?
11:25Cheers.
11:29What have you got to feel so guilty of?
11:34What do you think about Jasmine?
11:35Hmm?
11:36Because you do feel...
11:39Guilty.
11:40Yes!
11:41You're guilty, don't you?
11:44Yes!
11:44I wasn't talking to anyone, OK? I was leaving a message.
11:49It was for Oscar, it's to Oscar, OK? He's airing me.
11:54I opened up to him not long a while back and I haven't heard anything from him since and I feel really guilty actually.
11:59Even thinking about him knowing Zoe's banged up. Is she gonna be like this the whole time Alfie?
12:03Do we believe her though Alfie?
12:04You know what, I can find other places to care.
12:07No, no, no. Jez, hold on. Just...
12:09Why don't you go over and bring the rest of your stuff back here, go on.
12:13Go on.
12:14Go on.
12:16Go on.
12:18Go on.
12:19We got an appointment.
12:20Yeah.
12:24Go on.
12:28Can I give you some...
12:29One of these for a decent breakfast.
12:30Thank you, Dick.
12:31Here.
12:32Have a couple of those.
12:33I'll have those.
12:34I'll have that.
12:35Thank you, sir.
12:36I'll have that.
12:38Elaine.
12:39I'm asking you as a friend, please take that down.
12:42This is not about friendship, darling.
12:44It's about business.
12:45I'm sorry, but your cost of living crisis shows in your breakfast.
12:49You take that back.
12:50I'm not the only one who's noticed.
12:52Two dried rashers and an overcooked...
12:54You won't get that in my place.
12:55Oh, come on in.
12:56Let's go.
12:57She's not worth it.
12:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:59I am not...
12:59I'm not having this.
13:00The minute the council gets wind of this, you can't go making defamatory price statements.
13:03I can if it's true.
13:04Well, we'll see about that, shall we?
13:07I mean, if you are serving breakfast...
13:09...to more than your B&B guests, then you need a whole new set of hygiene certificates.
13:14Yes, insurance and an amended business license.
13:17You don't catch me out.
13:19If you want to fight, a fight you've got.
13:24I'm a redline peacock.
13:25Well, let's see who's breakfast wins!
13:29There you go.
13:30There you go.
13:34There you go.
13:35There you go.
13:38You seen your Nan?
13:40She knows how to draw a crowd, doesn't she?
13:42Wedding or funeral.
13:43Oh, no.
13:44No.
13:45No, no.
13:46Job hump.
13:47I'm serious.
13:48No.
13:49Put down some roots and step up from my kids' actions.
13:54They must be louder than words, though, aren't they?
13:55See you later.
13:56See you later.
13:57Oh.
14:00Hello, Mother.
14:01Hello, darling.
14:03Come in.
14:04Hi.
14:05Hi.
14:06Hi.
14:07Hi.
14:08Uh, please, er...
14:09Take a seat.
14:10Oh, lovely.
14:12Thanks for seeing us, Doc.
14:13I mean, to be honest, I think it's gonna take longer than...
14:14an hour, you know?
14:16Okay.
14:17Sit down.
14:19Mrs. Slater.
14:20You've, um, had a referral.
14:24So, er, to begin, can I ask, are you currently taking your normal medication?
14:29Yes, she is.
14:30Yes, she is.
14:31And, er, how are you feeling...
14:34feeling in yourself, Gene?
14:35Well, to be honest with you, Doc, it has been a difficult time for all of us.
14:39Um, you know, you probably heard about the tragic incident we had...
14:44over a thousand.
14:45My wife's daughter being wrongly accused.
14:48And it...
14:49it really has messed up our kids.
14:51At the moment, I'm just sleeping with one eye open, and I'm like that.
14:54I've not had a proper kip since all this happened.
14:56Oh, let's talk about you, Alfie, shall we?
14:58I'm just filling them in.
15:00Well, none of it is relevant.
15:01None of this is relevant.
15:02I've cracked the case.
15:04Gene.
15:05Call me Dallin again, and I will smash your face in.
15:07Okay.
15:08Right.
15:09Gene.
15:09I can't go around accusing anybody on the basis of a girl in the toilet speaking to
15:13a boy...
15:14my boyfriend while she's whispering.
15:15Tell me this.
15:16You tell me this.
15:17Is it normal...
15:19for a young girl to deliberately hide her own identity?
15:23To secretly...
15:24terrorise her own family...
15:25for months?
15:26Is it?
15:27No!
15:28It's...
15:29It is not.
15:30Okay.
15:31And are you...
15:32frightened of this person?
15:33And since this person arrived...
15:34on the square...
15:35her father has died...
15:36and her mother's in prison.
15:37Would you just shrug your shoulders?
15:39Would you ignore all the facts?
15:41What facts?
15:42What bit of that isn't fact?
15:44Would you make out that it's all a coincidence?
15:47Make out that I'm the one that's going do lally tap?
15:49Are you frightened of this person?
15:51No!
15:52I am not scared.
15:53I am very, very...
15:54cross.
15:55Because I'm being ignored...
15:56and dismissed.
15:57And while most women...
15:59over 50 get quite used to that...
16:00it is not at all convenient...
16:01because we need to tell the police.
16:03Because what if...
16:04said person...
16:05is on a killing spree?
16:06Oh...
16:07You don't know that!
16:08Neither does he!
16:09It can happen once...
16:10it can happen again Alfie!
16:11And everything that I have just said...
16:13is the truth!
16:14isn't it?
16:15No buts!
16:16No buts!
16:17Right!
16:18Right!
16:19So what are we...
16:19going to do about it?
16:20That is the question!
16:22And I will tell you...
16:24first step!
16:25You need to come and see my crime wall...
16:28because I'm really...
16:29quite good!
16:30Then...
16:31the police...
16:32then...
16:33well...
16:34I expect they'll have to take me on...
16:35as an expert advisor...

18:01I'm so sorry.
18:03I am sorry.
18:04I understand that it can feel like you're letting your loved one down.
18:08But making the decision...
18:09...that now is the right time for residential care.
18:11It's not unusual to feel guilty or like...
18:14...like you're losing the final part of them.
18:18But we would make a per...
18:19...personalised care plan.
18:21Based on Nigel's needs, his likes, his dislikes...
18:24...we tried to keep open visiting hours...
18:27...and we would welcome your involvement.
18:29Okay.
18:32Well, you certainly seem to be.
18:34...taking...
18:36...off the dementia checklist.
18:38We do our best.
18:39Our CQC rating this summer was outstanding.
18:45We do have a space.
18:48However...
18:49...three other prospective residents...
18:51...and their families...
18:53...all visiting...
18:54...at different points this afternoon.
18:56Why don't you take a moment to discuss?
18:59Coming!
19:02Obviously Nigel...
19:03...has first refusal.
19:04But we would need to know quickly...
19:06...if you'd like Nigel to join us.
19:07How quickly?
19:08Within the next 24 hours?
19:13...
19:18Jasmine, ain't that poor girl been through enough?
19:23Jane is too much for you to look after on your own plus the kids listen I'll cancel the ticket
19:28caught up with everything yeah because this door's 100 though right it's core food this diary beach hotel
19:33but I don't know Christie's room number okay so don't worry about that for now just
19:38you're not going to be away for long are you it's just going to be a few days max right
19:43it's going to give you a chance to track Christie down yeah and find the key to proving Zoe's innocence right now
19:48I can manage we can manage now Eve's practically at 31 every five minutes babysitting
19:53Charlie that's for Jane well she kind of agrees with the psychiatrist so we've got that
19:58in the back pocket but what if she don't take it okay I don't know let's worry about that when we come to her okay but
20:03listen to me you really need to do this yeah
20:08okay so come on let's go and pack your bag that's for jean's investigations well as long as she's got
20:13a cup of tea a load of biscuits in the back catalogue of Agatha Christie's to investigate then I
20:18think we're going to be okay and I reckon you are brilliant yeah I love you
20:23I love you a lot of beautiful Julie
20:25come back
20:26I consider this
20:28Oh, man.
20:53I don't think he's bad enough.
20:58No, not yet.
20:59Nigel ain't ready for this.
21:00You know, a load of old geriatrics.
21:02And I ain't.
21:03I'm not being strong-armed.
21:04She's not trying to force our hand, Phil.
21:08She's just telling it like it is.
21:12You know...
21:13They've got limited beds here.
21:16They're in really high demand.
21:17And it's competitive and I can see why.
21:19They get dementia patients.
21:21They understand them.
21:21You want to take the place?
21:22Do you think we should take it?
21:23What, right now?
21:24Well, how long are we going to have to wait for the next one?
21:26I just had no...
21:27Proper warning, has he?
21:28He's had no build-up to this.
21:30No, Phil.
21:32I don't know.
21:33You talking about us?
21:34I'm going to have to wait for you.
21:35You talking about us?
21:36You talking about us?
21:37You talking about us?
21:42It doesn't matter how many conversations...
21:47...Nigel has, how hard we try to prepare him is not...
21:52...going to remember...
21:54...he will still be...
21:57...as upset and confused.
22:00So what, we're just back in bed?
22:02...and bring him here anyway, you know?
22:04And we'll dump him off by the end of the day.
22:06We don't dump him.
22:07...that we don't dump him.
22:12...
22:14...
