00:10Excuse me, I want to talk to you.
00:13I've told you before, I'm not interested in anything you've got to say.
00:17Rona!
00:18It's not about me.
00:20Sorry, Principal, I was just getting ready to leave.
00:22I'll show you the way out.
00:24Please, I need to talk to you.
00:25I wanted to give you one last chance.
00:27I'm sorry, you're going to have to leave.
00:29This way.
00:31Sorry.
00:34I just wanted to talk to him.
00:56Yep.
00:58What?
01:01At this time of night?
01:04Well, can't someone else deal with it?
01:07Okay, okay.
01:08Now come down.
01:08Okay.
01:10Okay.
01:22Okay.
01:25Okay.

05:15Yesterday morning, we had a joint staff consultative meeting.
05:19And your role here is?
05:21I am the deputy principal, Dr. Muio Kovac.
05:24But I just can't take this in.
05:28Should we close the college, suspend the classes?
05:31No, I think it's better that we keep the disruption to a minimum.
05:35Tell me, was Dr. Nimmo a popular man?
05:39I don't think I understand.
05:40I thought we were talking about some sort of a lift accident.
05:44No.
05:45No, we're not.
05:51Simon had no enemies.
05:52Not that I know of.
05:54He did not suffer fools gladly, but he was fair.
05:58Well, if you do think of anything, would you give me a call?
06:02Yes, I shall.
06:03And thank you, officer.
06:08Stuart?
06:10You ready, Stuart?
06:12Stuart?
06:14Yeah.
06:19What was the dividee?
06:21Yeah, Dr. Simon Nimmo, age 50, college principal.
06:25Kind of redefines the term multiple injuries, doesn't it?
06:28So what have we got?
06:29Well, there's no prints on the screwdriver, none on the lift, and the DNA picture is apparently chaotic.
06:36Okay.
06:37Mobile phone?
06:38Hey, Stuart.
06:40Stuart.
06:41Sorry?
06:43Dr. Nimmo's mobile?
06:45I dropped it at technical support.
06:47Asked them to put it in the hurry up.
06:48The phone in the lift, it was an internal extension.
06:51Totally destroyed.
06:52No prints.
06:53We're still waiting on the caller ID.
06:55I'll check it up.
06:57Spiffing.
06:58Robbie, the lift.
06:59The company put it out of commission about three years ago.
07:02So somebody bypassed the safety system and restarted it.
07:06All right, here's my question.
07:08What makes a 50-year-old college principal walk into the bottom of a lift shaft at seven o'clock
07:12at night?
07:13Well, someone could have planted that phone in the lift to lure him there.
07:17Who was the last person to see him alive?
07:20Yeah, well, as far as we know, it's his secretary, Rona Campbell.
07:23She's in some state.
07:24She can't talk.
07:26I had a chat to the second-in-command, Amujo Kovac.
07:29He's Bosnian.
07:30He's got his immigration file here.
07:32He's a highly qualified science professor.
07:35Came across to the UK in 1994.
07:38Started out stacking supermarket shelves.
07:40Worked his way up the system.
07:41All right, Jackie.
07:42Break the news to Nimmo's widow.
07:43Robbie, go on to the lift manufacturers.
07:45Get a list of all the qualified engineers who might have knowledge of it.
07:48And let's take a closer look at this Mr Kovac.
07:56Maybe I keep them in the room.
07:58Do you like to say I want to be free?
08:00If you need Dr Kodz lying around, Kirsty, I'm going to take them up with you.
08:03I told you not to go in my room.
08:04Kirsty, while you're in this house, you will do what you're told.
08:07So you have been in my room?
08:09What, it's filthy.
08:10There's a pizza under the bed and the room's stinking.
08:13I had to open the window.
08:15Dad said my room will have...
08:16My private space!
08:17Well, then get your father to clean it.
08:19It's my room!
08:20Just stick out!
08:22Oh.
08:24Loser.
08:29Hi there.
08:30I'm looking for Mrs Nimmo.
08:32And he wasn't depressed or worried.
08:35Um, no, he was fine.
08:39Um, overworked, maybe.
08:43He was sitting at that table right there this time yesterday.
08:49No conflicts or problems that you can think of?
08:52No.
08:54No, nothing.
08:55Can I ask why you didn't report him missing?
08:57He was going to our conference in Toon last night and staying over.
09:03Not that you would notice.
09:05Kirsty, please.
09:08I'm sorry I have to ask, Mrs Nimmo.
09:10Can you account for your whereabouts last night?
09:14Um, well, I was here.
09:18Anyone vouch for that?
09:20Well, I was alone.
09:23Um, I went to bed at 11 and I heard Kirsty come in about 11.30.
09:30Are you happy now?
09:33Now that he's dead?
09:34Kirsty.
09:36Kirsty.
09:38Kirsty.
10:03My dad's dead.
10:05It's all her fault.
10:29You don't know she had anything to do with it.
10:32She's just so cold towards him.
10:36She drove him away.
10:38If she'd have shown him some warmth,
10:40maybe he'd have come home and that awful thing would never have happened.
10:43You're too hard on your mum.
10:45What do you know about it?
10:47My mum brought me up on her own.
10:49Um, I know plenty about her.
10:50You're so smart.
10:51Why did you go see him in his office?
10:53I just wanted to talk to him.
10:55That was all man to man.
10:58I told you to leave it to me.
11:00You had no right to go there.
11:03You don't think I had anything to do with this, do you?
11:06Of course not.
11:07I...
11:10He's dead.
11:11Ryan.
11:13Dead.
11:14I...
11:15I just miss him.
11:17Shh.
11:18We're going to get you through this.
11:20Don't worry.
11:23Come on.
11:25I'll take you somewhere special.
11:27Electrical engineering?
11:29No.
11:30Whoever did this did not graduate from this college.
11:33And what's your subject?
11:35Uh, biomedical sciences specialising in microbiology.
11:39Right.
11:40Uh, excuse me.
11:42Ross.
11:54Oh, where is Stuart when you need him?
11:59It...
12:00I think this computer's encrypted.
12:02I don't know if there's something hidden.
12:05You need a code to access it.
12:07Oh.
12:07Hang on.
12:12No.
12:12I can't get into this.
12:15Who's this?
12:17David, is it?
12:18Yeah.
12:20Davis?
12:21Davis?
12:22Dr. Davis from Partic College down the road.
12:25But Dr. Nemo and Davis, they were hardly the best of friends.
12:29Meaning what?
12:31They were the bosses of two colleges that are merging.
12:35Both of them had very different views on how that should happen and how the resources should
12:39be shared.
12:41In Bosnia, we have a saying, uh, one bowl, two dogs.
12:46Ah.
12:47So, where might I find this, Dr. Davis?
12:50Well, he would be at Partic College, I imagine.
12:53I can get the phone number for you, if you'd like.
12:55Oh, that'd be great.
12:56Okay.
12:57Thanks.
12:58Yeah, bye.
13:05Where the hell is Stuart?
13:08You know, there's technical support looking for him.
13:10Guess who's been making midnight calls to our victim's mobile.
13:14Runner Campbell?
13:16Have you got a certain sight?
13:42Oh.
13:43Oh.
13:45Oh.
13:46Oh.
13:47Oh.
13:59Leave it.
14:05Here we go.
14:15Mrs. Campbell.
14:16Do you mind if we have a what?
14:20Please, my husband's in the house.
14:22He doesn't keep well.
14:23I'd rather not bother him.
14:25We've no wish to embarrass you, Mrs. Campbell.
14:30Can I talk to you alone?
14:32I was in love with Simon.
14:36We'd been seeing each other for about a year.
14:40But...
14:41But?
14:43But we made a decision to end it last month.
14:47So was that a mutual decision?
14:50Yes.
14:51Rona, you were the one who initiated all these late night calls?
14:56It was over.
14:59So he had no other close friends?
15:02No, he was very private.
15:06What about Ian Davis?
15:09Ian Davis?
15:11He was no friend.
15:13Well, he arranged to meet up with him the night he died.
15:18I find that hard to believe.
15:22So you don't know why they might have been meeting up?
15:24No, I haven't sliced idea.
15:46Thanks.
15:47The constable will show you.
15:51Am I here for the good of my health?
15:53You were supposed to be dealing with these lift engineers.
15:56Oh, yeah, but it was Jackie.
15:58She needed a hand.
16:01Nimmo's deputy, Kovach.
16:03He's got a Merck.
16:04Or at least the key's to a Merck.
16:06Well, there's no law against that, is there?
16:07Maybe he's been saving up his pennies.
16:10No, it's just that he gets into this old banger smoking an expensive cigar.
16:13There's something about him that's odd.
16:15Well, check him out.
16:17I'll get a steward to when he shows up.
16:19Oh, and Jackie, you get a visitor.
16:23Davis.
16:24Dr Ian Davis.
16:25I got a call from Kovach at Downside.
16:27I thought I should come and see you.
16:29Thank you so much for coming in.
16:31This is a hellish business.
16:33Hellish.
16:35Yes, it must be particularly upsetting for you.
16:38Hadn't you arranged to meet him the night of his death?
16:41Well, he didn't show up.
16:43Why were you meeting?
16:45It was to be a preliminary chat.
16:48About what?
16:50Our possible merger between our two colleges.
16:52Just the two of you?
16:54At night?
16:56Well, these things have to be initiated with a degree of sensitivity.
17:01I don't quite understand.
17:04When two institutions merge, there are winners and there are losers.
17:09Well, from where I'm sitting, looks like you're the winner.
17:14I used to pretend my dad was a pilot.
17:19And that he'd flown away to Rio de Janeiro or Calcutta.
17:23And one day he'd come back and he'd take me and my mum with him.
17:27And we'd all fly off together in a golden jet to South America.
17:32But he never came back?
17:35No.
17:36Never did.
17:39I never even knew him.
17:42I need a hug.
17:51What's he over there?
17:54The Campsies?
17:55No.
17:57No.
17:57No, that's Valparaiso.
17:59We'll fly you there one day in my golden jet.
18:02Promise?
18:03Promise.
18:10What did they ask you?
18:12Yeah?
18:14The police.
18:15What were they asking you about?
18:17Did they mention me?
18:18I've told you.
18:19They don't know anything about that.
18:21Just leave it alone.
18:24Kiss me.
18:28I'm cold.
18:30Let's go back then.
18:32Make sure nobody sees you go.
18:34I want to stay, Brian.
18:36It's better if you don't.
18:38Not yet.
18:41There's no need to rush things, okay?
18:44Okay.
18:50Thanks a lot, bye.
18:52Well, someone's been telling porkies.
18:55Rona Campbell.
18:56She called Dr Nimmer from a hotel on the night he died.
18:59He was going to tell his wife that night and then come to me.
19:02Why didn't you tell me this before?
19:04He's dead.
19:06All the plans in the world don't mean a damn thing.
19:08I didn't want any trouble.
19:10Well, it's a wee bit too late for that now.
19:12I waited there alone all night.
19:14Yes, we know this.
19:16We've got you checking out at 8.15 in the morning,
19:18but you could have sneaked out in the middle of the night.
19:21I loved him.
19:22I would have done anything for him.
19:25I didn't kill him.
19:28Okay.
19:29So let's go back to the last time you saw him alive,
19:31and this time, the truth.
19:34I've told you.
19:35It was about 6.15.
19:37That's the last time I saw him.
19:39Then what did you do?
19:41Well, nothing.
19:43I took the boy down to the gate and then I went to the hotel.
19:47Boy?
19:47What boy?
19:48The student that was in the office.
19:52I told him about it that first day.
19:59Oh, planet, you're on.
20:00I forgot, all right.
20:01No, it's very far from all right.
20:03What the hell's going on with you, Stuart?
20:05I've got a description.
20:05I'll get it circulated.
20:07What, two days late?
20:08And then what am I supposed to say to the gaffer?
20:09Do you know what, Jackie?
20:10I've got other things going on.
20:12I couldn't care less.
20:14Stuart!
20:17Stuart!
20:24Where, where are you?
20:25You've been gone for ages.
20:28Have you been with that boy again?
20:29Look, I'm here now.
20:31And yeah, I was at his place.
20:34Satisfied?
20:35Those flats are deserted.
20:36They're ready for demolition.
20:37It's dangerous there, Kirsty.
20:40Besides, you can do better than some ned in a council flat.
20:43You can't let it go, can you?
20:45Well, it's only because I care about you, Kirsty.
20:48Yeah.
20:49Well, don't judge my boyfriend before you've met him.
20:52Look, Kirsty, can we call a truce, please?
20:56I loved your dad too, you know.
21:01Oh.
21:14What are you up to?
21:15Oh, nothing.
21:16I was coming to ask.
21:17Is it my imagination?
21:18What a Stuart not pulling his weight.
21:21He's, er, down at...
21:22Technical.
21:24Is there something I should know about?
21:27Not that I'm aware of.
21:29They've just unencrypted Nimmo's computer.
21:33And?
21:34You're not going to believe it.
21:35Nimmo, Kovach and Davis all sat in a committee
21:38to decide the future of the Hume building.
21:40200 student residences.
21:42Nimmo and Kovach were against the sale.
21:45And Davis was for it?
21:47Correct.
21:48No, I need to see you.
21:51No, Exchange Square.
21:53No, now, this has gone far enough.
21:56Oh.
22:01Was all this really necessary?
22:03Oh, how else could I talk to you?
22:04I haven't heard anything for days.
22:06Have they mentioned the project?
22:07No, no, but you mustn't use the information.
22:10Not now, Ian.
22:11Just, just pull back.
22:12We're in the clear.
22:13We're not in the clear if it all comes out.
22:15Don't you see how suspicious it will all look?
22:17People get caught because they panic.
22:20We are not going to panic.
22:24Sorry.
22:28Yes?
22:30Is that who?
22:34Um, yep, I'm at the college.
22:37That would be the college inside the art gallery, would it?
22:56Excuse me.
22:59Are you Margaret Stewart?
23:01Who wants to know?
23:04Your son.
23:08Craig?
23:14I can't do this.
23:17I just wanted to meet you.
23:18I told him I didn't want to fuss.
23:20I thought we could talk.
23:24This was a mistake.
23:25I should never have agreed to it.
23:27No.
23:29I'm your son.
23:31I don't know who you are.
23:34You don't know me.
23:37Best to go, son.
23:53What's Project Hume?
23:59I believe it's something to do with the merger.
24:01Something.
24:03Why would Dr. Nimmo put all the details in a specially encrypted file when all the other
24:06stuff was in the open?
24:10I really wouldn't know.
24:12It was the last thing he was working on before he died.
24:16Really?
24:19There's a lot more to this than just two colleges merging and changing names, isn't there?
24:26So I'll ask you again.
24:28What's Project Hume?
24:33The college owns the Hume building in the centre of town.
24:37Prime real estate in Argyle Street.
24:40200 student flats.
24:42My husband wanted to keep them that way.
24:45Ian Davis is for selling them.
24:47They were both on the committee.
24:49And my husband's vote was essential.
24:52The sale would net the merged college upwards of 10 million.
24:58So what was your role in all of this?
25:02Ian's an old friend and he asked me to help facilitate things.
25:10Facilitate.
25:24Do it.
25:25Do it.
25:27Do it.
25:39It was a lovely mniej.
25:40Do it.
25:53Nimmel had had other affairs. There was a student at his college. An abortion was arranged.
26:01It would have destroyed his career.
26:04You were blackmailing him.
26:06That's not what I would use.
26:07Well, how would you describe it then?
26:10Look, education these days is a cutthroat business. There's no room for sentiment or wishy-washy thinking.
26:16That money could build out a new science block, fund new courses, make research grants available, give the college university
26:22status.
26:22And who would be in charge of it all?
26:24Well, I'm more than qualified.
26:27So a ten million pound department plus a load of academic kudos, that's a pretty good motive for murder.
26:34You're determined to make me a conniving academic backstabber?
26:39But inspector, I draw the line at killing.
26:40So why arranged to meet him on the night he was murdered?
26:44To toast the success of Project Hume.
26:47I have to say, your husband's death seems rather convenient for you and your old friend.
26:53You know, sometimes things aren't exactly as they seem.
26:58I know nothing about my husband's death.
27:01And I'll swear to that on my daughter's life.
27:09You let your mum go?
27:11Yeah, she's back home.
27:13I mean, I didn't really think that she killed him.
27:17What's wrong?
27:18Why are you so worried?
27:21Have you seen this?
27:24There's nothing like you.
27:25They think I did it?
27:27Then go to the police, just tell them.
27:28Then they'll suspect me.
27:30They'll think there's some sort of Romeo and Juliet thing going on here.
27:33Oh, Ryan, you big dafty.
27:36You're too sensitive.
27:38You know that?
27:41You're not telling me that somebody would actually kill for a science blog.
27:45Kill, meme and stab, and that's just for the research grant?
27:49Boss, the fellow's Kovach.
27:51He drove home in his old banger, then opened his garage and drove out in a brand new Merck.
27:55What's his game?
27:56I don't know, but he met up with a couple of suits, looking very pleased with himself.
28:00Well, keep digging.
28:01I want to get to the bottom of this.
28:04They're hardly going to throw you in jail for going to see my father.
28:07You don't know the police.
28:09You're guilty until proved innocent.
28:12Come on, let's have a beer and go up on the roof.
28:16Come on.
28:18I'm sorry.
28:19I can't thanks to it.
28:21You've got nothing to hide.
28:22Of course not.
28:23Then go.
28:24They'll find you in the end if you don't.
28:27Then it'll only seem worse.
28:32Stuart!
28:40Stuart!
28:48You need to get out more.
28:53It's open.
28:55What the hell are you playing at, Stuart?
28:58The boss is not a fool, you know.
29:02It never really bothered me till Mum and Dad died.
29:06Your adoptive parents?
29:09Yes.
29:10Mum and Dad.
29:13Come on through.
29:16I sort of put it to the back of my mind.
29:19Ignored it really.
29:21Their death kind of gave me permission to look for my biological parents.
29:27Does that sound crazy?
29:29No.
29:33So what did you do?
29:35I got my original birth certificate.
29:38It was seeing my name.
29:40Craig Stuart.
29:42There was something about seeing my real name in black and white for the first time.
29:47Stuart was her surname.
29:53I had this fantasy.
29:55I had this fantasy.
29:55She was going to be a caring person.
29:57Baking cakes, making cups of tea, telling stories.
30:01I had so many questions I wanted to ask her.
30:04Like, did I have any brothers or sisters?
30:08But then, when I met her, she was just... cold.
30:16Like stone.
30:20Nothing.
30:22And that's what I feel like just now.
30:24I'm sorry.
30:28Nothing.
30:33Stuart, I think you need some help.
30:37They're organising a counsellor for me.
30:42Let's make a start with this.
30:49Right, you two.
30:51Your arse is into my office.
30:52Pronto.
30:54Why, sir?
30:55That boy whose description you neglected to bring to my attention just given himself up.
30:59Along with his girlfriend.
31:04Okay, let's just get this straight.
31:07Your father's been murdered.
31:10You were one of the last to see Dr Nemo alive.
31:13You go out with each other.
31:15That's interesting.
31:18Well, I didn't do it.
31:19Give me a lie detector test or anything.
31:22Just tell us what you know, Brian.
31:25I went to see him.
31:26That's all.
31:27I sneaked past the secretary.
31:29I wanted to talk to him about Kirsty.
31:31To tell him I'm not some Ned that's gonna ruin her life.
31:35It ended up I couldn't see anything.
31:37The secretary came in.
31:38I got huckled out.
31:39That was it.
31:40Boss.
31:41Take a look at this.
31:44I think it's time we broke Kovach in.
31:48Brian is innocent.
31:50I'll take a polygraph.
31:51Or sodium pentothal or anything.
31:54Okay, so after you were huckled out, did you see anything suspicious?
31:58What do you mean?
32:00Well, did you see anyone hanging around?
32:03No.
32:03No one.
32:05Apart from there was this guy wearing a bow tie.
32:10Can we have a show of hands?
32:14And with Dr. Kovach, that makes five.
32:17So we have a majority.
32:18Five, four, four against.
32:20The Hume building will be sold to Stanmore Development.
32:26Dr. Kovach, would you mind accompanying me to the station, please?
32:33So where were you in the night of the murder?
32:36Was that Thursday?
32:37You know exactly when it was.
32:39Yes.
32:40I was working late, I think, in my office.
32:44Any witnesses?
32:45Rona.
32:46I think that Rona saw me.
32:48You've worked very hard since you left Bosnia, haven't you, Dr. Kovach?
32:52In supermarkets, garages.
32:55Seems strange to us that you never worked at your old job.
32:59Excuse me?
32:59Before you went up to university, you worked in the college of St. Jedwiga, Senta Zemladi.
33:09I worked at many places.
33:12Where, amongst other things, you were in charge of maintenance.
33:17So you clearly know how buildings work.
33:19Internal wiring.
33:21Lifts.
33:22I knew that this would be brought up.
33:26What now?
33:28Get a warrant, Jackie.
33:29Take his house, office, car apart.
33:33Clothes, debris, dandruff, the lot.
33:35He's at it.
33:36I can feel it in my water.
33:38You check his alibi with Rona Campbell.
33:40Maybe I should go, sir.
33:42She could be a wee bit sensitive.
33:44Oh, dear.
33:45I'd better no upset her, eh?
33:47You go to Kovach's house.
33:49He interviews Campbell.
33:50Got it?
33:53Did you see Kovach?
33:54I can't remember if I saw him or not.
33:56Can't or won't?
33:58How dare you speak to me like that?
34:00Oh, for God's sake, scoff your high horse, sweetheart.
34:02You've been lying through your teeth from the beginning, so don't try that wet hanky trick with me.
34:05Now, tell me about Kovach.
34:09Simon thought he was on the take.
34:11Why?
34:12We didn't actually have anything concrete.
34:14It was just suspicion.
34:15Couldn't prove anything.
34:17Did he confront him?
34:18They had words the week before.
34:21Nothing was resolved that I know of.
34:22And that's all I know.
34:24Honestly.
34:26Okay.
34:27Well, I honestly hope that I do not have to come back here, Mrs. Campbell.
34:37I've been packing up Simon's things.
34:44Any idea who this is?
34:49No.
34:51Okay.
34:52Thanks.
34:54So what's the wet hanky trick?
34:56Oh, shut up, Stuart.
34:58Just give us a minute, Robbie.
35:01Okay.
35:06Hi.
35:09I wanted to explain.
35:13I have another life.
35:16It's...
35:18complicated.
35:21I'm not the same person I was when you were born.
35:23I understand.
35:28You've done well for yourself.
35:31I tried my best.
35:36I just want you to know that...
35:38I'm proud of you.
35:42There's nothing else I can give.
35:46Maybe one day I could do more, but...
35:50No, no.
36:02Goodbye.
36:05Stuart.
36:12I...
36:14I...
36:23I...
36:28That is why I kept quiet about being at the college that night.
36:33Because I knew that you would suspect me.
36:35No, that's not why we suspect you, Dr. Kovach.
36:37We suspect you because we'll be looking at your bank statements.
36:42Who's been putting thousands of pounds into your account?
36:46I am so ashamed.
36:49The money...
36:51They gave it to me to make sure that the college sold to the right developer.
36:58You've been taking bribes from a developer.
37:03For the tape, please.
37:07Yes, I accepted the money.
37:09From them.
37:11Dr. Nimmo thought you were going to vote with him against the sale.
37:16I know. I...
37:21Have you ever been offered more money than you can earn in your entire life?
37:26I come from...
37:27Is that why you killed him?
37:34I want a lawyer.
37:40Come in.
37:41Just a quick question.
37:43Hope you don't mind me asking.
37:44But did you and your husband have any other children apart from Kirsty?
37:48No.
37:50Why?
37:53Do you recognise this boy?
37:56No, I...
37:58Can't say that I do.
37:59What about you, Kirsty?
38:03No.
38:04I don't.
38:06You're sure?
38:07Yeah, sure.
38:09Mum, I've got to go.
38:11Where are you going?
38:13Kirsty!
38:14Aye.
38:23You know, I can't believe we're letting him walk.
38:25Can't hold him any longer.
38:26There's nothing at his flat.
38:28Read your idiot's guide to police work, Robbie.
38:51Why are police running around with photos of you as a boy?
38:54Asking mum if she had any other kids?
38:57I love you, Brian.
38:58Just tell me it's all alright.
39:00No.
39:02What?
39:03I thought we...
39:05I can't.
39:07Don't you love me?
39:10Yes, but...
39:12But what?
39:13What's the matter?
39:16It won't work.
39:18It's all wrong.
39:19I'm finishing it.
39:21That's it.
39:24So what?
39:25You...
39:25Don't fancy me anymore?
39:31Great.
39:34What?
39:34Are you gay or something?
39:36We're finished!
39:37Okay!
39:39I really, really thought we had something.
39:43How wrong could I have been?
39:51Ryan.
39:53Main end.
40:00Got you.
40:04Where are you off to shoot?
40:06There's something I have to do.
40:07Do you want a hand?
40:08No thanks.
40:09It's fine.
40:17I'm going to go.
40:19I'm going to skip now.
40:31Get back from here.
40:33I'm going in here.
40:35I'm going to get back.
40:36No.
40:37You're not going to.
40:38No.
40:41We're going.
40:44We're going to get back.
41:05I hear you. Which floor are you after?
41:0917.
41:10Who are you looking for?
41:12Brian Meaning.
41:13What's he done?
41:15You're either the police or a dealer.
41:17I'm police.
41:19So what's he done?
41:20Nothing.
41:23I just want to ask him a few questions.
41:25What about?
41:28Who am I talking to?
41:35Brian Meaning.
41:40Don't do that again!
41:41Ask your questions.
41:43Let me out of here, please.
41:45Why?
41:46So you can arrest me?
41:51Put the phone away!
41:58I just want to talk to you.
42:00I don't know what happened between you and your father.
42:04But I just want to hear your side.
42:11Brian?
42:13I gave him a lot of chances.
42:15A lot.
42:17But every time he rejected me, like I was scum and embarrassment.
42:23I was his son.
42:26I gave him one last chance that night at the college.
42:30He had me removed.
42:32He had me removed.
42:34So I did the same to him.
42:38I thought it would make me feel better.
42:41Well, it made you feel worse.
42:42What the hell do you know about it?
42:44Nothing.
42:49Nothing at all.
42:50Correct.
42:52Because mummy and daddy gave you all the nice things.
42:54Made you feel all warm and secure.
42:56Brian.
42:57Right now I'm not feeling very secure.
43:00And what happens to me next is up to you.
43:05But yesterday, I met my real mother for the first time.
43:09And she wasn't exactly bowled over to see me.
43:13But I would really like the chance to get to know her.
43:16I'm not saying I know how you felt about your father.
43:20I couldn't.
43:24But I want that chance.
43:26That's all I asked for.
43:28I've never had a family.
43:32You've got a sister.
43:34Curthy.
43:36She won't want to know.
43:38Not now.
43:39I'm sorry if I hurt her.
43:43You get any brothers and sisters?
43:47That's something I'd like to find out.
43:52What's your name?
43:55Stuart.
43:58Craig Stewart.
44:22Okay, Craig.
44:46There's somebody guaranteed her breakfast in the morning.
44:53Good luck with your ma.
44:56Good luck with your ma.
44:59Good luck with your ma.
45:04Good luck with your ma.
45:10I appreciate it.
45:11Goodbye.
45:13Bye.
