00:00We need to sort out your treatment program.
00:02We need to do it now, where you still can.
00:04Before I lose the ability to speak, you mean.
00:06Steph needs a parent around, and I can't be it.
00:09Stop crying!
00:12Steph, please!
00:38Steph, please!
01:00Because a vision softly creeping
01:04Left its seeds while I was sleeping
01:09And the vision that was planted in my brain
01:16Still remains
01:19Within the sound of silence
01:25Where's the baby's dummy, love?
01:28Upstairs.
01:31I'll go get it.
01:33Come on.
01:34Well, let it go.
01:37Tom!
01:37Smacking yourself up.
01:39It's your daughter's christening today.
01:42Come on.
01:49Hey, who are you up to?
01:50I thought I'd take Steph out round the block.
01:52Get a bit of fresh air before the christening.
02:17I asked you to put her in the car.
02:19What good is it in there?
02:20I told you I don't need it.
02:23What have you done to my office?
02:25I just rearranged a few things.
02:27It was fine as it was, you know.
02:28Well, it wasn't fine if you wanted to get a wheelchair around it.
02:32I don't want to be in a wheelchair, do I?
02:35Let me help you.
02:36No, yes, no.
02:37Please, I'm fine.
02:39Patrick, can I come in?
02:40Mm-hmm.
02:44Did you get my messages earlier?
02:46Yeah.
02:46I need to have a talk with you.
02:49Can I give you a hand?
02:50No.
02:52No, unfortunately you can't.
03:06Harry?
03:11I wanted to apologise for speaking out of turn yesterday.
03:16Patrick.
03:17I heard you.
03:20I just felt you were undermining my position.
03:25Just like you were undermining my authority.
03:27You lost your temper, and I will not tolerate that in my school.
03:31I'm a good teacher.
03:33You know I am.
03:36I can't lose my job over this.
03:39Patrick!
03:40Hey, you said your piece.
03:41Go to your class.
03:52I'm fine.
03:53Just leave me alone.
03:54Get out!
03:59How long do you think we've got left with him, Max?
04:03I'm not sure.
04:06I just don't know how to cope with him, Max.
04:08I really don't.
04:10Neither do I.
04:12But one thing that I do know, is that me and you, we can't fall apart.
04:19These last few months, weeks, whatever, is all we've got left.
04:25And we really do need to make every second count.
04:28PHONE RINGS
04:30Sorry.
04:32Hello?
04:47What are you doing here?
04:49Er, learning.
04:49Same as you.
04:51Why is your uniform?
04:51Oh, in the wash.
04:53Forgot to do it last night, didn't I?
04:55Dozy cow that I am.
04:56Right, everyone.
04:58Ten questions on the board.
05:00First one to get them all correct wins the most coveted prize of all.
05:05My admiration.
05:06Oh.
05:07Barry, I didn't know you were a due bag today.
05:10Yeah, I sorted someone out to look after the baby.
05:13Oh, right.
05:14Mr Blade didn't mention it.
05:16Oh, well, maybe you forgot, you know, he isn't very well, is he?
05:19Um, it's his body that isn't working, not his mind.
05:22OK, OK, well, welcome back.
05:25Nico, we'll bring you up to speed and we can catch up at break time.
05:28Thanks.
05:33Go away!
05:35It's me.
05:36It's only me.
05:38Are you all right?
05:41Well, I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner.
05:43It's just this lady, she stopped and asked me for directions to the dog,
05:46and then I got stuck on the main road.
05:49Did you know that that crossing was broken?
05:51The one with the green flashing man?
05:53It was like a pelican crossing or a popping crossing.
05:56I can never remember which.
05:57I mean, you should probably tell the council about that.
05:59He's right outside the school.
06:01I hate that you have to do this.
06:04It's not a problem.
06:07It is for me.
06:09It is for me.
06:15Steph?
06:18What's going on?
06:18Where's Perry?
06:19I have no idea.
06:22There we go.
06:23Good, isn't it?
06:28This is one setback.
06:30No big deal, okay?
06:33Maxine, no.
06:34Patrick, you need it.
06:35I'm not ready.
06:36Well, you won't use this, and you won't use the walking frame they gave you.
06:39I don't need them.
06:41Patrick, please, just for one day, so I know you're all right.
06:43I said no!
06:47Sorry.
06:50Please, I can't have this conversation today.
06:56This doesn't make any sense.
06:58Why would you do this?
06:59Was there no note or anything?
07:00Nothing.
07:01No.
07:01Right, Tom, give me your phone.
07:02I'm going to call her again.
07:04You'd be better off calling the police.
07:05No, you can't.
07:07Perry's out there doing God knows what.
07:08We'll find her.
07:10How?
07:10How will you do that?
07:12The police need to be involved.
07:13This isn't your call, Angela.
07:15She's my cousin.
07:16I'm worried about her.
07:17Look, everyone, please be quiet.
07:19Angela's right.
07:19We need to find her, and quickly...
07:22Perry's not coping.
07:23I mean, she's not herself.
07:26The other day, it was Perry who sent you those notes, son.
07:28She said she was struggling with the baby, and it was her way of...
07:31Her way of what?
07:34I don't know.
07:35I don't know, making you leave school and stay at home to help her.
07:42Come in.
07:46Just leave it there, please.
07:48Thanks.
07:50Will you close the door?
07:51I don't know.
07:55I don't know.
07:57I don't know.
07:59I don't know.
08:03I don't know.
08:03I don't know.
08:04I don't know.
08:05I don't know.
08:05I don't know.
08:06I don't know.
08:06I don't know.
08:07I don't know.
08:08I don't know.
08:08I don't know.
08:08I don't know.
08:09I don't know.
08:09I don't know.
08:09I don't know.
08:10I don't know.
08:10I don't know.
08:10I don't know.
08:11I don't know.
08:11I don't know.
08:12I don't know.
08:41Go away, Perry.
08:43Are you all right? Do you want me to get some help?
08:45No.
08:46But this, the love days...
08:47I said no!
08:50I'm sorry, Perry.
08:52Please.
08:54Come on, shut the door.
08:57No, Perry.
09:04With you on this side.
09:05Oh.
09:11Would you mind giving me a hand?
09:13Yeah.
09:19Yeah.
09:27Thanks.
09:29I'll pull up a pew.
09:31Come and sit down.
09:43Listen, I'm sorry.
09:44I didn't mean to upset you.
09:46It's okay.
09:50I didn't know you were back at school.
09:54I had to come here.
09:57I've got nowhere else I can go.
10:05After...
10:05After what?
10:11After I gave my baby away.
10:30I don't understand what's happening.
10:32Tom, listen, we're going to find you're okay.
10:34But to do that, I need to make a call.
10:37For the police.
10:43I don't know how to look after her.
10:48I see Tom, the way he is with her.
10:51The way he holds her.
10:52And feeds her and that.
10:55And I try and copy him and stuff, but...
10:57You told Tom.
11:01No.
11:04No, I can't.
11:07Because he'll hate me.
11:11And then I'll have no one.
11:16Tom and the baby, they were supposed to be my new family.
11:22You know.
11:23After my mum and dad.
11:26And I've tried to make it work.
11:28I really have.
11:31But I can't.
11:33I'm not ready to be a mum.
11:35I just...
11:36I just can't do it.
11:40Perry, you do realise that your cousin's going to take the baby back home, don't you?
11:45So Tom will know what you've done.
11:48That's a good thing.
11:50Because then you can start to tell him how you really feel.
11:55I can't.
11:56Yes, you can.
11:58And you have to.
12:01Because it's the right thing to do.
12:07It's the right thing to do.
12:07How do you know that?
12:12Because I'm an expert on doing the wrong thing.
12:17Which is why I'm going to die knowing how much pain and hurt I've caused my family.
12:23But you're young.
12:27You're not a monster, Perry.
12:29You're just a child.
12:31And you have to be honest.
12:35Before you ruin your life like I ruined mine.
12:42I got ruined every once.
12:49Listen.
12:50You see the filing cabinet?
12:51Bottom drawer.
12:52There's a bottle and a glass.
12:54Would you get it for me, please?
13:03Hey, why aren't you at school?
13:07Can I sit there?
13:09Sure.
13:15I think I will miss.
13:19Ten-year-old single malt.
13:21My father's favourite.
13:23Was your dad a teacher?
13:24No.
13:26No, he was in the Royal Navy.
13:28Wanted me to follow in his footsteps, but...
13:30You wanted to pick up my headmaster.
13:32Oh, no, no.
13:33I wanted to be an astronaut.
13:36Serious?
13:37Seriously.
13:39Yeah, yeah, I did.
13:43What do you want to do, Perry?
13:45I would like to be a paleontologist.
13:47Really?
13:48Yeah.
13:51But it's going to be hard now.
13:53Well, it's your life.
13:54You can do anything you want.
13:57Just need to take control of it.
13:59I may be running out of time to achieve my dream of going into space,
14:03but you'll have a whole lifetime to achieve yours.
14:05Don't give up.
14:09My father would be spinning in his grave if you heard me talk like this.
14:14What happened to him?
14:19He died of motor-neuron disease.
14:23Oh.
14:24So, I guess you know that...
14:27Yeah.
14:29Yeah, I know exactly.
14:34Do you remember last year when we were studying Dylan Thomas?
14:37And we did that poem?
14:39Er...
14:40Don't go gentle...
14:41Do not go gentle into that goodnight.
14:44Yeah.
14:47That's sort of like you, innit?
14:50In what way?
14:52You're not just giving in to death.
14:54You're sort of like fighting it.
14:56Oh, I'm doing no such thing.
14:58I can't...
15:00rage against the dying of the light.
15:04And I don't have the strength.
15:05Well, if you can't fight it, then...
15:07do something else.
15:10Stand up to it.
15:11Face it with...
15:12I don't know...
15:14dignity or something.
15:18You told me to take control.
15:20Why don't you do the same?
15:23Perry's missing.
15:24We don't know where she is.
15:25But I just saw her.
15:27Where's that, love?
15:28At school.
15:28She was there.
15:29Oh, thank God.
15:34You've got a dead nice family.
15:36Maxine's well pretty, ain't she?
15:39Bet she is a nice mum.
15:41She is.
15:46Could you open this for me?
15:48Yeah.
15:59What song is it?
16:00Yeah, next door to the music room
16:02and ask Miss Godfrey
16:03if we can borrow her record player.
16:21What, you didn't think it was a bit weird
16:22that she was at school?
16:23All right, Tom.
16:24Well, she's an idiot.
16:25Tom, that's enough.
16:26She is.
16:27She's a head case,
16:28just like the rest of her family.
16:30Then lower the needle really gently.
16:32Right on the edge.
16:32That's it?
16:41It's my favourite, Greg.
16:45My dad always used to play it.
16:47He was trapping military man
16:48and he loved this song.
16:50So it made him feel calm.
17:01All units we've said take heart in Holly Oaks High School.
17:04Within the sound of silence
17:08In messless dreams I walked away
17:14Dinner.
17:15Barrel streets would cornerstone
17:18Near the halo of a street land
17:22And throw my collar to the cold and damp
17:27When my eyes were staid
17:30By the flash of a neon light
17:34They split the night
17:36And touched the sound of silence
17:42And in the naked light I saw
17:47Ten thousand people, maybe more
17:53People talking without speaking
17:56People hearing without listening
18:02People writing songs
18:05That voices never share
18:10This is your fault
18:12I didn't know anything was wrong
18:13And I'm supposed to believe that, am I?
18:15Okay, Tom, it's not her fault
18:16You can't blame Nika
18:18And the sign says the words of the prophets
18:23Are written on the subway walls
18:26The tenement halls
18:31Whisper in the sounds
18:36Of silence
18:41Perry, where have you been?
18:43School
18:44School?
18:45Yep, because that's what you do
18:47Duck your baby and then go for a history lesson
18:50Don't stop it
18:51No, why should I?
18:52She hasn't said a word since we found her
18:55Come on
18:56Tell me why you tried to give our baby away
18:58Tom
18:58Tom what?
19:00Jack, tell me what you did, you know
19:02I'm sending those notes
19:03Have you completely lost it?
19:05Okay
19:05No, it's not
19:06Why are you all having a go at me?
19:09Why?
19:14I can't look after her
19:17When you say that
19:20Look at her
19:21Look at our baby
19:23Look at her
19:24Tom, stop it
19:25Tom, I think Perry's ill
19:27I don't think she's very well
19:32There'll be handrails in every room
19:34A walk-in bath
19:36And the stair lift will be finished tomorrow
19:39Okay
19:40End of life
19:41Treatment at home
19:46Diet
19:47That's dietary requirements
19:49I've read it
19:49It's not necessary
19:50Why?
19:52What is it?
19:54Well, it just
19:56Explains there's a procedure
19:57That's available to me
19:59It would mean a stint in hospital
20:01Where they would insert a tube into my stomach
20:04That would
20:06Allow them to continue feeding me
20:08But it would have to be done
20:09While I am still able to swallow
20:13So why isn't it necessary?
20:20Because I'm not going to have it done
20:22What do you mean?
20:24You were going to say no
20:26To something that might help you
20:28Why?
20:30Why would you do that?
20:31Sienna
20:31No, I mean
20:32Isn't it bad enough
20:33That you're already dying?
20:34Do you really need to speed things up?
20:35Sienna, please
20:36It says they can help you
20:38Dad, it says it right here
20:39They can give you longer
20:40And what?
20:41You would rather die
20:42Than stay here with us
20:43No
20:43After everything
20:44That you have put us through
20:45And you are just going to give in
20:47And bail on us
20:48Please try and understand
20:49Understand?
20:50Dad
20:50I don't understand any of this
20:52I'm trying to speak
20:53No, you are trying
20:54To do what is best for you
20:55As always
21:08When we say that you're ill
21:10It's because we think
21:11You might have postnatal depression
21:13So I'm going to make a doctor point
21:15For tomorrow
21:15And then we can start
21:17Getting you the help that you need
21:19And if I have got this thing
21:21Then that's what's been wrong with me
21:28This depression
21:29You can't hate me if I'm ill, Tom
21:32I don't hate you
21:34I love you
21:35We all love you
21:40I don't want you to do it
21:42I know you don't
21:43Believe me, it is for the best
21:46How can you say that?
21:47How can you possibly know
21:48It's for the best?
21:49I don't want you to see me
21:51At the end
21:52I don't want you to have to care for me
21:53When I can no longer care for myself
21:57I love you
21:59You and Minnie
22:00Sienna and Niko
22:01And we love you
22:03That's why we want to look after you
22:05No
22:05I won't allow it
22:07I won't allow you to go through that
22:09I need to take control of this
22:11Can't you see?
22:13I need to take control
22:14When things get so bad
22:17When my quality of life gets so bad
22:19Please
22:21You need to listen to me
22:26Even without food or a ventilator
22:29There's no telling how long it will take me to die
22:31And I can't face that
22:35And I don't want you to suffer alongside me
22:38And so
22:43And so I'm going to do it on my own terms
22:47But when the time comes
22:51I'm going to need your help
22:56I want you to help me die
23:04Controversial
23:04More tomorrow at 7
23:05And tonight is the big night
23:07It's the return of the series
23:08Everyone is talking about
23:09Even 50 Cent
23:10Maybe not for the right reasons
23:11Empire Series 2 starts tonight at 9
23:13Then at 10
23:14Something totally brand new
23:15And probably quite filthy
23:17It's brand new chewing gum
23:18Next though
23:19We're kicking off our big night
23:20With Empire
23:21The Phenomenon
23:22The Phenomenon
23:22The Phenomenon
23:26The Phenomenon
23:30Homes
23:32Whisper
23:33The sounds
23:37Of silence
23:42I'll see you next time.
