01:27Why did you have to go and do this to me?

01:30Sorry!

01:38Look, I'm happy enough as I am!

01:39That's not going to wash!

01:46I am!

01:47I'd rather be in here than five to a room with the other four of them snoring and farting

01:51all night!

01:53Snow fart!

01:54Snow fart!

01:55It was like sleeping with horses!

01:57Is that the real reason?

02:05Did Michael tell you to move out?

02:09That's all over now!

02:46Not out of choice, they aren't!

02:50Who did that?

02:57That wasn't me!

03:13No!

03:13Oh, don't try to con me, Gary!

03:16This entire situation has got Michael written all over it!

03:20I haven't seen him and I don't even know where he is!

14:17Gary.

14:24There's somebody downstairs.

14:29What?

14:32They're inside.

14:33Listen.

14:41No.

14:42Come on, Gary.

14:46Well, we could dust down on the altar.

14:48No!

14:49Well, why not?

14:50It's wrong.

14:53I bet there's a crypt full of tombs.

14:56We could sleep on a tomb.

14:58I'm going.

15:05I'm going.

15:13I'm going.

15:26I'm going.

15:56Hey, Sonia.

16:08Hey, Sonia, don't piss about it, it's dangerous.

16:44It's dangerous.

16:54It's dangerous.

16:57It's dangerous.

16:58It's dangerous.

17:08It's dangerous.

17:10It's dangerous.

17:11It's dangerous.

17:40I'm trying to find out.

17:43It's gonna be alright.

17:44Don't panic.

17:46I'll get her some light on and then we'll just stay calm and work this out.

17:50Alright?

17:51Alright.

18:05Alright.

18:08Alright.

18:11Alright.

18:21Alright.

18:23Alright.

18:37Alright.

18:39Alright.

18:40Alright.

18:42I'm the caretaker.

18:43I'm looking for Gary Kingston.

18:45He was caretaker here about two years ago.

18:48Can you help me at all?

18:51You'd better come in.

19:08I thought this whole area was going to be under a shopping centre by the end of the year.

19:12Yeah.

19:12And why do they still need a caretaker?

19:14I'm not inclined to ask.

19:16Why not?

19:16In case they suddenly decide that they don't.

19:19Huh.

19:19Do you know Gary Kingston?

19:22Yeah.

19:22I've seen him around.

19:23Yeah.

19:24Do you know where he went to after he left the hostel?

19:27No.

19:28He didn't come back here?

19:29No.

19:31What about family?

19:32Do you know if he had anyone to go to?

19:34No, there is no one.

19:35He said he'd looked.

19:36He knew him pretty well then.

19:38Nobody knows him that well.

19:40What about Michael?

19:42Is that a name you've ever heard him mention?

19:44Michael who?

19:47Looks like I'm going to be on a loser with this one.

19:50Why are you so keen to find him?

19:52I'm kind of responsible for him now.

19:55Well, I took over his file from a colleague who died.

19:59That's sad.

20:00Yes, it was.

20:03Look, how can I get in touch with you in case you hear anything else?

20:05Oh, I'll be grateful if you will.

20:08Ring social services and ask for Anna Spilinski.

20:15Okay.

20:16Here.

20:17Oh, thanks.

20:25What will you do if he turns up?

20:28It's not something I can talk about.

20:31Sorry.

20:32You don't think it's that simple?

20:34No.

20:38Thanks for your help.

20:39Pleasure.

20:41Mind how you go.

20:42No?

20:45No.

20:59No?

21:00No.

21:01Oh, no.

21:03There you go.

21:04Okay.

21:05No?

21:05No.

21:05No?

21:06No?

21:10No.

21:11No.

21:24Have you decided what you're going to do yet?

21:26About what?

21:27Coming back!

21:29I can't face it, Anna.

21:30Enough's enough.

21:31You're going to start thinking about me for a change.

21:33Quite right.

21:35What about you?

21:37What about me?

21:40Don't go carrying on the way you are.

21:42You burn out proper, whatever you want to call it.

21:45The job takes and takes and there's no aim to it.

21:47Nobody is going to draw the line with you, Johnny.

21:50It's a bad time of year.

21:52It leaves off.

21:53What about Johnny?

21:55Bet you I've never seen you.

21:57Johnny's gone.

21:59What's your joke?

22:03I'm sick of you and your bright ideas.

22:06Like what?

22:07Entertaining her or asking her in.

22:09What's so terrible about that?

22:11You're like a child.

22:12Can't keep your hands off wet paint.

22:16You're just...

22:16Oh, am I?

22:17Yeah.

22:18Follow her.

22:19No.

22:20Don't argue with me.

22:22I am not going near that office again.

22:25All right.

22:27Follow her home then.

22:30Don't know where she lives.

22:33Show me what you stole from her.

22:51You're not quite as stupid as you look.

22:54I want to leave her alone.

22:56Is she going to leave us alone, Gary?

22:59I don't think she will.

23:01What can she guarantee you?

23:03A nice new jacket with buckles up the back.

23:06A little empty room with a big lock on the door.

23:12Oh, would that be so different to what I've got now?

23:16It'll be a lot worse.

23:18Because I might still be with you.

23:23And I wouldn't like it.

23:27Leo.

23:28Leo?

23:29Shh, shh, shh.

23:30What's your best?

23:33Hello.

23:35Hello.

23:41We used the opportunity to ask the president what a new government was doing about the deaths

23:47of India's under control.

23:49We used the opportunity to ask the president what a new government was doing about the deaths

24:03of India's under control.

24:39Hiya.

24:40Hiya.

24:41Police room with Trevor.

24:43Why?

24:44The Carter baby's in hospital again.

24:46She's in a bad way.

24:48How bad?

24:49No one can pretend it was an accident this time.

24:52I was there two days ago.

24:55It's a low-risk household on any scale you care to mention.

24:59Now it isn't.

25:00I didn't want to just walk into it.

25:04Hiya.

25:23I'm Anna Spelinski.

25:25This is one of my cases.

25:33I didn't know it was going to be you, did I?

25:36I'm going to ask you to take nothing.

25:38I can't help you.

25:39It just gets complicated.

25:42I felt brilliant on the way in.

25:45I spent all last night thinking, it's just a job.

25:48It's nine to five.

25:49And I woke up believing it.

25:51Hey.

25:52This isn't your fault.

25:54Don't tell me that.

25:55Tell them.

25:56All right?

25:58I'm off it, Trevor.

25:59Don't worry.

26:00They call me for anything.

26:02Yeah.

26:07I don't have to tell you to watch out for the press.

26:09I know.

26:10Look, I want you to take a week off.

26:12You can be available and you don't have to come in.

26:15I don't need it.

26:16Well, put it this way.

26:17If you don't take the time off, I'll have to suspend you.

26:21Why?

26:24God, Trevor, what do I have to do for this department?

26:28Climb up and across and hang there?

26:30Stop it.

26:31Is this about the quality of my work?

26:33Is it?

26:34I think that's for the inquiry to say.

26:37Personally, I'm satisfied.

26:38But you're not going to bloody well back me till then, are you?

26:41I'm on your side.

26:43Well, that's great to know, Trevor.

26:45That's bloody great to know.

27:49I'm sorry to bother you again.

27:51I need your help.

27:53It's about Gary Kingston.

27:55Will you help me?

28:01I need to know where he's gone.

28:03I need to know he's all right.

28:05So anything you can tell me, anything at all,

28:08or anyone you know that I can talk to.

28:12If I knew anything, I'd tell you.

28:14It's not a matter of snooking.

28:16Don't imagine that.

28:18But I do need to know if he still needs help.

28:21Are you all right?

28:23I'm fine.

28:25Got a little twitch in the corner of them.

28:33There's a lot going on.

28:37I suspended you, didn't I?

28:40How did you know that?

28:42I saw your picture in the free paper.

28:45It wasn't a very good one.

28:47They put five years on my age as well.

28:50I don't think you did anything wrong.

28:54Gary.

28:57Can we talk about Gary?

29:00How long is it since you saw him?

29:04A few months, a couple of weeks.

29:06I don't know.

29:08Do you know what his problem is?

29:12His problem's called Michael.

29:14I'm telling you this to warn you.

29:17Michael who?

29:18Not Michael, anybody.

29:21Michael's a delusion of Gary's.

29:23He doesn't exist.

29:24Gary thinks he talks to him and tells him what to do.

29:29Gary thinks he's a demon.

29:32Do you understand what I'm saying?

29:36Michael's the name of a demon.

29:39No, there is no Michael.

29:44So you're saying he's mad?

29:48He's not mad.

29:50He's not possessed.

29:52No, it was a short-lived interlude and he appears to have responded to treatment.

29:56All I need to know is, is he still clear?

29:59Is he still fit?

30:02Or did he lie his way out of hospital and is he on the rampage now?

30:05I don't think it's a rampaging kind.

30:09Ask around for me.

30:11Um.

30:13Um, will you come again here if I do?

30:17Of course I will.

30:19Okay, I'll ask around then.

32:21Well, I gave her a choice.

32:24Oh, Johnny, you're so dead.

32:26Oh, thanks.

32:27No, this last week brought it all to her head.

32:29But it's the way she was going anyway.

32:32You talk to her, and I'll talk to Trevor.

32:34What am I going to say?

32:36Ask her what she'd do if she had herself for a client.

32:38She'd hang on like grim death and never let go.

32:42Just like she does with all the others.

33:01Right, thanks.

33:05It's I know.

33:15It's I know.

33:16It's I know.

33:18I know.

33:26It's I know.

34:03Oh, calm down.

34:05I was ringing for ages.

34:07How did you get in?

34:10It's a key.

34:12My God.

34:15This is my place, Donnie.

34:17You don't just walk in.

34:18Then answer your doorbell.

34:21What is going on here?

34:22I'm trying to catch up.

34:25I was doing until I got interrupted.

34:28Now I'm going to have to try to pick up the pieces and start all over again.

34:32Have you any idea what this place looks like?

34:34I don't care what it looks like.

34:36I don't have to.

34:37This is what I laughingly call the privacy of my own home.

34:41It's a mess.

34:42It's not a mess.

34:47I know what I'm doing.

34:50It's what I used to do when I was a student.

34:52I'm getting it all sorted.

34:57If I can see the problems more clearly, then maybe I'll be able to see the answers.

35:02Nothing here looks sorted to me.

35:04You're a copper, aren't you?

35:06If you manage to write your own name twice in the course of a day, they give you a jelly

35:09baby.

35:13Anna, I don't think you're well.

35:18Get out, Johnny.

35:27And leave the key.

35:45You're welcome.

35:50All right.

35:52All right.

36:21This is a shared problem Gary. You're not on your own. I'm not even going to say that

36:30I warned you. Good. Even though I did. Half a crown. What do you want out of this? I don't

36:53want to be locked up again. Neither do I Gary. The fact is I've let you try it your way

36:59and it didn't work out.

37:01Now it's my way or nothing.

37:12Why make it more difficult?

37:16It always ends up your way doesn't it? It's like I don't even have a vote anymore.

37:21You know that's not true. We need each other.

37:27Wish we didn't.

37:28Really? You really think that? Because I could leave you now if I chose to. Find someone else. Is that

37:38what you want? To be completely on your own again?

37:42I don't believe that. And neither do you. See Gary. I'm the only thing that stands between you and the

37:51darkness. And you? You're my way of getting to the light.

37:57So, as long as we're together and free, there's no such place as hell.

38:03So, as long as we've.

38:11Please, have a chance to keep throwing your way up.

38:18You can pick up, there's no such place as hell.

38:21You just want to keep drawing.

38:39Mary Henry?

38:41I prefer to be Sonia.

38:46Where's your boyfriend now?

38:47I don't know.

38:48I got so I was calm.

38:49And he just took off.

38:50I had to get a lift all the way home on the other one.

38:54He was looking at dinner when I was saying that.

38:56Why did you finally decide to tell?

38:57As soon as my dad saw this he wouldn't let off.

38:59You were bloody lucky you know.

39:01I didn't feel lucky.

39:35We've got our backs underneath.

39:36It was my idea.

39:41I didn't think it was ever going to move.

39:47Sir?

39:48Sir?

39:50Sometimes they're going to move.

39:51I get a part.

39:58He did not shake his head.

40:05He happened to see us anyway.

40:19Oh, Jesus.

40:38Anna?

40:39What?

40:39Are you alone?

40:41Put the chain on the door.

40:43It's already on.

40:44Right, the people you deal with.

40:45Do you ever let any of them have your home address?

40:47Of course not.

40:48Is there any way any of them could ever find it out?

40:50No.

40:51We're probably alright, but listen.

40:56I locked the door.

40:59I came in through the window, I found the cat.

41:08This is all Michael, you know.

41:11None of this is me.

41:16Gary.

41:19Michael isn't real.

41:22I know.

41:26I only wish it made a difference.

41:59What are you going to do now?

42:02I don't know.

42:06Slighten God, if you move the right, I'll kill you.

42:15I think.

42:20We're gonna get a little bit cold.

42:23Come on.

42:27I think.

42:32I think.

42:37I'm gonna get a little bit cold.

42:44Let's go.

43:31Let's go.

43:40Let's go.

43:56Let's go.

45:05Let's go.

45:14Let's go.

45:21Let's go.

45:23Let's go.

45:23I took the only hand that was on offer at the time and it was his.

45:35Let's go.

45:37Let's go.

45:39Let's go.

45:40Let's go.

45:44Let's go.

45:51Let's go.

45:53Let's go.

45:54Let's go.
