TVTranscript
00:15As far back as I can remember, my life has been steeped in death.
00:23The time of death, 11.20.
00:35Who knows if that's a bad thing.
00:38But what I do know is that death, like a child soother, has always been there for me when I
00:44needed relief.
00:47Unfortunately for me, relief is in short supply.
00:52Remember, think of someone who annoys you.
00:54Pull the trigger.
01:06What did you get and get at this?
01:14Oh, missed.
01:17I wouldn't be so sure about that.
01:20Take my 10th birthday.
01:23Stood over that dead deer.
01:25It was the first time my father saw me happy.
01:28Like, actually, really happy.
01:33How I prayed it wouldn't be the last.
01:40What's that for?
01:51Being the kind of person I am, school would have been torture.
01:55But for two key things.
01:57My writing.
02:00And my best friend, Mal.
02:03I'm telling you.
02:04You get up there.
02:05You're going to win this contest.
02:08A couple of them fancy words.
02:10And they'll be eaten out of your hand.
02:12And if that doesn't work?
02:14Picture everyone naked.
02:16Now come on.
02:17Let's hear it.
02:22That day, while smashing her bully's skull off the credenza, surprise took hold.
02:30Picturing people naked was a bust.
02:33But picturing them dead?
02:35Bingo.
02:36The sound of intercranial cracking, as brains splattered off walls, was akin to a music.
02:43This young girl had never heard before.
02:46Right then, I realized that death and writing were a powerful match.
02:51That this is where happiness lies.
02:54Of course, like everything else that gave me peace, it was fleeting.
03:01Yet when a doctor did finally see me about my crushing depression,
03:04all we talked about were pills.
03:07Oh, so many pills.
03:11But five years ago, I put the brakes on that.
03:14Those things made me sleepwalk, lose time, do batshit stuff I barely remember.
03:21The bottom line?
03:23They made me more dead than alive.
03:26Elvira.
03:26And I want to feel alive.
03:28Elvira.
03:31Then, something amazing happened.
03:37You know, they say if you want to write, you have to sit down, open a vein, and bleed on
03:42the page.
03:45Talk about words to live by.
03:48So, here I am.
03:50The Kilraven Chronicles' brand new obiturist.
03:53A job I've dreamed of.
03:56And yet, this happiness I yearn for remains missing.
04:01Like a jigsaw piece lost down the side of a couch.
04:05When you're done, file it.
04:07And then what?
04:09And then you wait for someone to die.
04:10And when might that be?
04:14Clancy.
04:15Never say that out loud.
04:17Your job is to write obituaries.
04:19To take that talent you claimed you had.
04:21To make the deceased alive.
04:23To give voice to the voiceless.
04:24Not to sit there praying that some pensioner pops his clogs.
04:29What are you looking at?
04:31Nothing.
04:32Well, then get back to work.
04:34It won't write itself.
05:01Population 5,000 and falling.
05:05Kilraven is like a funfair in winter.
05:09It's people convinced that if the sun only shone, if that factory reopened, if the foreigners left, their lives would
05:19be good again.
05:21On the surface, a bog-standard backwater.
05:27But as my dad likes to say, under that veneer of nothingness, there's a ton of weird shit going on.
05:40Ah, funeral homes.
05:43Heaven.
05:45And it's not just the peace and quiet or the human remains.
05:49See, people go through life wearing big, stupid grins.
05:54Hiding how they really feel.
05:55Here, there's no smiling.
05:59Only tears, pain and impotence.
06:03Here, you see people as they really are.
06:09Damn.
06:10That half-blind mortician made him more alive than my obituary did.
06:19My mammy gave you a tip.
06:21She insisted.
06:23Well, she wants it back.
06:25She said your writing was rubbish.
06:27I'm still finding my voice.
06:30She said you're at this six months.
06:33And we expected better.
06:38Look, Daddy was a farmer.
06:42An Athenian.
06:44No, Daddy was a fat fuck that barely fit inside this box.
06:47Yeah, reading what you wrote.
06:49It was like I didn't even know the man.
06:52Which tells me you didn't get to know the man.
06:56Which, last time I checked, was your job.
07:14Patsy, Tom.
07:22I'm sorry for your loss.
07:25And I'm sorry for yours.
07:40Crime correspondence.
07:42To some, a juicy gig.
07:44But to others, it's a slow death haunted by unsolved murders.
07:50Who did this to you?
07:51For Clive, indeed for Kilraven, that meant Maria Riedel.
07:56Clive, my office, now.
08:01Oh, the Grim Reaper.
08:03Out from behind the death desk.
08:06Tell me, is what this lad says true?
08:08Is what true?
08:10Your co-workers reckon you listen to the death notices
08:14as you twiddle your twaddle.
08:26So, this gives me no joy, but I have two options.
08:29Either go freelance, or I let you go.
08:3230 years, just like that.
08:34One way to do, Clive.
08:35You know what, Burns?
08:36What?
08:36Eat shit.
08:37Ah, come on.
08:40Jesus.
08:42Clancy.
08:53Clive quit.
08:55It was his choice.
08:56Because you asked him to go freelance?
08:58Circulation is down.
09:00I'm having to combine farming with fashion.
09:03That will kill Kate.
09:06No way!
09:07That's her.
09:08Getting the email now.
09:10Perhaps you could combine birth notices with obituaries.
09:12Cut out the middleman.
09:14And perhaps your work could improve just a tad,
09:16so that the families stop bitching at me.
09:20Look, you'll get 200 and all bid.
09:23No regular salary.
09:25We'll review it down the line.
09:26Hughie, on average, one person dies every 10 days in this town.
09:31Sometimes I've waited weeks.
09:32Isn't that a good thing?
09:34Not when I'm supporting my father.
09:36Chin up.
09:37At least you're still a reporter.
09:39You're not stuck in here like me,
09:42massaging ulcer-inducing spreadsheets.
09:44But how will I live?
09:47I don't know.
09:48Maybe you should start killing people.
09:50Maybe I can start with you.
09:52Maybe I can start with you.
10:04That's the spirit.
10:06Now, off you pop.
10:08It won't write itself.
10:14Because I had my own stuff going on back then,
10:17I missed all the signs.
10:20But it's like one day Dad woke up and decided,
10:24you know,
10:26I think I'll take to the drink.
10:27You know,
10:28I read somewhere that freelancers
10:30get paid by the column,
10:32or even the words sometimes.
10:33Or perhaps never.
10:39Is he a noggin?
10:40It'd be a lot better if that was your last of the day.
10:43You know,
10:44I'm always here for you if you want to talk.
10:46Yeah.
10:49The same applies to you.
10:53You can always get another job in the town.
10:56Notice he didn't tell me to get another job in another town.
10:59Poor man.
11:01He can't see a future without me.
11:03I know you think you've got no future, but...
11:06Writing's everything I have.
11:09This job, Dad,
11:11it's like my life.
11:14And by the way,
11:15you know if I'm broke,
11:16you were broke too, yeah?
11:19Jesus.
11:23Ta-da!
11:25I'll tell you something.
11:27Nobody hurts my weaker,
11:29especially not that ball bag, Hughie.
11:31Shut the door!
11:33Breaks my heart to see you like this.
11:37Hey.
11:39I could dust off my CV.
11:44What, are you going to tell me to go back in and wash my hands?
11:46No, CVs, Dad.
11:49That's what I just said.
11:50That's what I've been writing.
11:53But people's lives aren't CVs.
11:56They're much, much more.
11:57But I like your writing.
11:59Yeah.
12:00It can be better.
12:03Aye.
12:03Not always,
12:04but sometimes,
12:05Dad inspires me.
12:09I'm going to write advances.
12:12Obituaries
12:13for the pre-dead.
12:14What, like zombies?
12:15Like Michael Jackson.
12:17Who did a mean zombie?
12:18And who the minute he did die.
12:19The big papers had his orbit up on their websites.
12:22Years in the making.
12:24Researched, refined.
12:26Ready in a heartbeat to go to print.
12:30So you'll what?
12:31Pick old people?
12:32Sick people.
12:33People whose lives dice with death.
12:36And write them up before they do die.
12:40These advances,
12:41with thought and time,
12:43will be heartfelt and moving.
12:46Not crap jotted down
12:47as the coffin slides into the ground.
12:49Something the families adore.
12:53That gives Huey no choice
12:54but to put me back on full pay.
12:59They're not in any hurry.
13:07They're not in any hurry.
13:08How does it feel, Alice?
13:13To die.
13:14To know you're dying.
13:18It's Rose I worry about.
13:21Your daughter?
13:23Big lug of a thing.
13:25Tomboy.
13:26I don't think she'll cope.
13:28She'll have to grieve.
13:30They say there are stages.
13:33Denial, anger, bargaining,
13:35depression and...
13:37Suicide?
13:38No.
13:40Acceptance.
13:42Here.
13:43Who are you?
13:45I know.
13:46I shouldn't.
13:48But...
13:49Your daughter.
13:52Rose.
13:54Remember?
13:56Thank God.
13:58I'm here, ma'am.
14:01Finally.
14:02You lost some weight.
14:04But would it kill you
14:06to use a little bit of rouge, hmm?
14:12Where were we?
14:14You were...
14:16advising me
14:16on how to accept your death.
14:19What says I'm dying?
14:20No one listens to me.
14:22The story of my life.
14:24Why do people say that?
14:27The story of my life.
14:29Because everyone's got one.
14:32And I'd kill to hear yours.
14:36For Alice,
14:37the voyage of discovery
14:38is not in seeking new lands,
14:40but seeing old lands
14:42with new eyes.
14:44Dump that last line.
14:47You're not bloody proust.
14:49Proust.
14:50You don't like it?
14:52Kudos for the turnover time.
14:54She's barely cold.
14:55But Clancy,
14:56your words screech
14:58when they should sing.
14:59Do better
15:00or don't do it.
15:08Do better?
15:09Fine.
15:10How about a dead man walking?
15:13Or, well,
15:14climbing.
15:15It's a really dangerous job, right?
15:17Says whom?
15:18The National Statistics Office.
15:20They claim that fatality rates
15:21for roofers are
15:24through the roof.
15:25Nothing can kill me.
15:27Not no roof,
15:28nor no statistics.
15:30Sorry, Bob.
15:30But the stats beg to differ.
15:33Always reaching for the heights
15:35as Bob mounts his ladder
15:37one last time.
15:39Think of him as gone,
15:40yet not defeated.
15:43Lose that last line.
15:45You're not bloody Emanue.
15:48Look,
15:49there is some improvement.
15:52I only spattered two typos.
15:58The people of this town
15:59think my next advance
16:00is Kilraven's nicest man.
16:03Dad strongly disagrees.
16:06Still,
16:06the guy's riddled with cancer.
16:08Stage four.
16:09And because there's no stage five,
16:11it's just a matter of waiting.
16:15And waiting.
16:17And waiting.
16:20And waiting.
16:23And waiting.
16:25And waiting.
16:29And...
16:33Beautiful day, isn't it?
16:37It's the weirdest thing.
16:39This dying man
16:40is refusing to die.
16:42Beautiful day, isn't it?
16:46His body screams cancer.
16:51Beautiful day, isn't it?
16:53Yet four weeks
16:55since my last obit,
16:57Sandy walks this earth.
17:00It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
17:02My bank balance is a bust
17:04and my work remains unread.
17:10Beautiful day, isn't it?
17:14My words trapped on my hard drive.
17:17Sandy's tumours
17:18fighting for their lives.
17:19That tango hammer
17:20chipping away at my brain.
17:23What the hell do I do?
17:31What the hell are you doing?
17:32Beautiful day, isn't it?
17:34Are you serious?
17:35No one in their right mind
17:37could think today
17:37is a beautiful day.
17:39Are you saying
17:40there's something wrong
17:40with my mind?
17:41Oh, finally.
17:42Something out of your mouth
17:43that makes sense.
17:44You can't talk to me like that.
17:46I'm sick.
17:47Oh, join the fucking club.
17:53Go get them.
17:55Make me.
17:56Fine.
17:57Fine.
18:06They're going to the guards.
18:08I saved you.
18:09Jesus saved me.
18:11You're more stupid
18:12than I thought.
18:14You didn't know?
18:16You're what?
18:17The town laughs at you.
18:19The sewer rat
18:20unfit to be a father.
18:22The freak
18:22waiting for people to die.
18:25Now your mother?
18:26Mmm.
18:27A tasty bit of pipe.
18:29Pity she died
18:30that you didn't.
18:33You were right.
18:34So you admitted?
18:35You did push me?
18:37No.
18:40It is a beautiful day.
19:06I'd be lying
19:07if I said
19:07I didn't fantasize
19:08about doing this someday.
19:11I just never knew
19:12how I'd feel.
19:13Mrs. Benson,
19:14thanks for seeing me.
19:16I know this is weird
19:17with me being the one
19:19who saw your husband
19:21slip.
19:22But,
19:23look,
19:23I won't take up
19:24much of your time.
19:25The thing is...
19:26Yeah.
19:27Your words
19:28are how Sandy
19:29would be remembered.
19:31The more you know...
19:32The more I can,
19:34pardon the pun,
19:36bring him to life.
19:38Okay.
19:41But we're getting drunk.
19:48So,
19:50I'm under this
19:51big sycamore.
19:52First time
19:53making love.
19:54But there's this farmer.
19:56Snake
19:56and a fly
19:57look at us.
19:58His Frisian's
19:59behind him.
20:00I slip my bits
20:01back in.
20:02Which are still
20:02fabulous.
20:03But my husband,
20:05still at half-mast,
20:07offers to put on
20:08a second showing.
20:12Sandy could be
20:13crude that way.
20:14I'll see if I can
20:16get that in.
20:20Then,
20:22that's that.
20:25Really?
20:25Because I feel like
20:28we're still missing
20:29something.
20:32Look,
20:32let's go off
20:34record.
20:35Eh?
20:38Okay.
20:42Sandy was
20:46in remission
20:49the last five years.
20:51Sandy wasn't sick.
20:53He just loved
20:54the attention.
20:56But he had a blog
20:57about his
20:59ups and downs
21:00the town read it.
21:01Lies.
21:03Sandy could have
21:04lived 30 more years
21:05but for that fall.
21:08Oh.
21:10I bet you're crying.
21:13Sorry.
21:14It's a shock.
21:17I thought Sandy
21:18had months left.
21:19Not
21:20years.
21:21Years
21:22I took from him.
21:25I thought I'd
21:25killed a dying man
21:26when really
21:27I'd killed a man
21:28who deserved to die.
21:30It's okay, love.
21:32I've never felt
21:32such happiness.
21:34And everyone
21:35wants to be happy.
21:37Right?
21:40Sadly,
21:41we can do nothing
21:42for Sandy
21:43but cherish
21:44his memory.
21:44as surely
21:45his wife
21:46Margot
21:47will
21:47who one day
21:48hopes to meet him
21:49under that
21:50sycamore in the sky
21:51where they will
21:52frolic like teens
21:54while the
21:55Frisians watch.
21:57No, no, no.
21:58This is good.
21:59I know it is.
22:00I can't publish it.
22:01You and your typos
22:02can go fuck it.
22:03Margot.
22:03Sandy's wife
22:04doesn't want him
22:05declared dead.
22:06But
22:08he is dead.
22:09His body was never
22:10recovered.
22:11She's going to wait
22:11out the seven years.
22:12So no one reads my work?
22:14And
22:15no pay?
22:18I'm sorry, Clancy.
22:19It kills me
22:20as much as it does you.
22:25No matter.
22:27I like what I wrote.
22:29I've found my voice now.
22:31A voice with
22:32murder as a muse.
22:36Of course,
22:37I should stop.
22:39But now
22:40is not a good time
22:41for me.
22:44I see you later.
22:46Your first kill
22:47is like your first
22:48orgasm.
22:50You feel guilty.
22:53Is Patsy's chest
22:54a lot of them?
22:54You're not sure
22:55how it happened.
22:57Built.
22:58But you're damn sure
22:59you want another.
23:00At least
23:01that's what Mal says.
23:04Hey!
23:06Where'd you get your
23:07license?
23:07A fucking raffle?
23:10Who's this?
23:11It's the Dester McQ.
23:12Big builder back in London.
23:14Contracted all his work out.
23:16Cut so many corners
23:17of three boys
23:17died on the job.
23:19And Kilraven
23:20welcomed that
23:21arsehole back
23:22with open arms.
23:23As I said,
23:25sometimes my dad
23:26inspires me.
23:27He'll tell you something.
23:29Somebody should
23:29clip his wings
23:31before anybody else
23:32gets hurt.
23:32still
23:33it's all well
23:34and good
23:35but I've got
23:35to be smart.
23:37That means
23:37never getting caught
23:38which means
23:39picking the right one
23:40which means
23:41picking someone
23:42who deserves it.
23:44So
23:46does
23:47Sylvester
23:48deserve it?
23:54Oh Mal
23:57you're my best friend
23:58but you
23:59lousy tasting men.
24:09You know
24:09we're in the same boat.
24:11We both
24:11don't want some
24:12rando
24:13who'd spent
24:13his whole life
24:14in Kilraven
24:15but
24:16trust me Mal
24:17if someone
24:18the better
24:18will come along.
24:19Avira.
24:21Christ
24:21you've been spouting
24:22that same shite
24:22for the last
24:23five years.
24:27Look
24:29What?
24:30Last Christmas
24:31I overheard
24:32Screiny Sisters.
24:33Those piss bags
24:35said that
24:35girls like us
24:36who never left
24:37Kilraven
24:38were different
24:38from girls
24:39who went to college.
24:40Yeah I went to college.
24:44Okay
24:44online
24:45but so did you.
24:46Oh look
24:47a month
24:47blowing my
24:48ground on MDMAs
24:49not college.
24:52Anyways
24:52they said
24:53we were robbed
24:53of our dreams
24:55but our
24:55small minded
24:56brains never grew
24:57because we never
24:58went anywhere.
24:59Then I meet
25:00Sylvester
25:01and he's seen
25:02the world.
25:04Well
25:04London
25:05so
25:06I says I left
25:06that for a bit.
25:08Why not like
25:09man's a
25:10go getter.
25:12You may think
25:13we have nothing
25:13in common
25:14this crazy
25:15mess in me
25:17but you

25:23pool of her

25:27party in Liverpool.
25:29Deadly place
25:30isn't it?
25:34What's the
25:35sex like?
25:36You never
25:37ask me about
25:38my sex life.
25:39Well you never
25:39ask me about
25:40mine.
25:45he says I

25:46water.
25:48Oh get

25:49top of me
25:50he starts
25:51twitching
25:51like
25:52crazy.
25:54Isn't that
25:54a good thing?
25:55He was having
25:56an epileptic
25:57fit.
25:58Forgot to
25:59take his
25:59pills.
26:01Who says
26:01I can't
26:01make men
26:01drool
26:02eh?
26:03You know
26:04Mal
26:05guys like
26:06him
26:08push them
26:08and they're
26:09dangerous.
26:09So he's
26:10got a temper
26:10he's up the
26:11walls with
26:11work but I
26:12can handle
26:12my...
26:14fuck it.
26:17Here have
26:18mine.
26:22It's just a
26:2399 Mal.
26:24Nothing's
26:24ever just a
26:2499 Elvira.
26:28You know
26:30sometimes I
26:31just feel like
26:32a laughing
26:33stock.
26:36Lost.
26:39People tell
26:40me to skip
26:40town.
26:41I say
26:41why?
26:43I'm from
26:44here.
26:45What I
26:45wanted
26:45something to
26:46happen
26:46here.
26:46Like what?
26:47I don't
26:47know.
26:50I just
26:51want it to
26:51happen.
26:53Wait for it
26:54if I have
26:54to.
26:55I'm done
26:55waiting.
26:57Sylvester's
26:57purpose in
26:58life seems
26:58to be to
26:58hurt everyone
26:59around him.
27:00Therefore
27:01if my purpose
27:02in life is
27:02to kill
27:03I think
27:04I'll make
27:04some rules
27:05and one
27:06must be
27:06no one
27:08I love
27:08ever gets
27:09hurt.
27:22this is a
27:23small town
27:23that means
27:24there can
27:25never be
27:25a whiff
27:26of murder.
27:27Everything
27:28must be a
27:28mishap
27:29or suicide
27:29an act of
27:31God
27:31or a sex
27:32act gone
27:32wrong.

28:05A while back, a journalist opened an image that was sent to him on Twitter.
28:09It was strobe lighting.
28:11The guy, a known epileptic, came within seconds of dying when he suffered a seizure.
28:18Still, could have been worse.
28:21He could have been trapped in the boot of a car.
28:55Crucial to this whole thing is research.
28:59In this case, the dark web and a can of ketamine.
29:02Several good blasts, they're toast.
29:05But a couple of spritzes, it's sleepy time.
29:28Sylvester's going to spend the next few days swallowing a little something from my own medicine cabinet.
29:44Also essential is intel, and because she tells me everything, I always know when and where Sylvester and Mallory will
29:52meet.
29:56I told you, do you remember?
29:59Aren't they gorgeous?
30:15How do you do that?
30:17Uh, do what?
30:19Well, hello.
30:21Get people to open up to you like that, when they're at their lowest.
30:25The people I deal with are consumed with death.
30:29Add sedatives and stodgy funeral food, they soon realize their deep, dark secrets aren't worth taking to the grave.
30:35Emerson Stafford.
30:37Elvira.
30:37Clancy.
30:38I know.
30:39Tell me, what are you working on now?
30:41It's a surprise.
30:44Well, does it not get depressing?
30:48Obituaries.
30:49I spent two lines out of a hundred on how someone died.
30:52The rest is a celebration of their life.
30:55Yeah, but you make your living from death.
30:58As do cigarette companies.
31:00And crime correspondents.
31:01I'm taken over from Clive, so looks like we're working together.
31:05No, I know.
31:06Staff will bitch about the new hire, but don't worry.
31:08I'm paid per piece.
31:09Still, they get mighty snotty when they see every second article is mine, right?
31:14Hey, uh, you up to anything later?
31:18Only I thought I'd grab a drink at the Mariner.
31:24How's nine sound?
31:25Sounds a lot better than no.
31:28I'll see you later.
31:30Tonight was to be Sylvester's last night on Earth.
31:33Looks like we both got lucky.
31:44Sorry I'm late.
31:45Don't worry about it.
31:48What are you doing here?
31:50Well, hello to you two.
31:51What are you having up here?
31:53Whatever Mallory's having.
31:55Since she's having what I'm having.
31:57We're going to get you a whiskey.
32:05What's that for?
32:07Well, you said someone better would come along and bam, I won't bid to him.
32:12What?
32:13He could be married.
32:15Or gay.
32:17You don't like him, do you?
32:20Good.
32:22Hey, Emerson.
32:25Elvira reckons you're gay.
32:26Which I'm down with.
32:28No, I don't.
32:29Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
32:30Oh, well, with that put to bed.
32:33Tell us, how do you end up working at our little rag for that wanker Huey?
32:39I like Huey.
32:40At least you know where you stand with him.
32:42You like Huey because he lets you away with murder.
32:44Oh, does he?
32:46Let you away with murder.
32:48So, Emerson, why journalism?
32:51And why here?
32:52Ah, you guys are laughing at me.
32:54No, we won't.
32:56It was my cousin's funeral.
32:57I was nine.
32:58He was six.
32:59Poor kid drowned.
33:00Pool, river, or sea?
33:02Sea.
33:04But he had this twin.
33:06Now, on the day of the funeral, his parents, for some reason, do not ask me why, but they
33:10decided to dress them both in matching outfits.
33:12So, you can imagine, I'm standing there, I'm nine years old.
33:14I'm looking into this coffin at this kid lying there, my cousin, and they close the lid
33:19and stick the lad on the ground.
33:20There are 16 words for love in Latin, yet none to describe how turned on I am.
33:25But there's this other lad, standing right there, identical to the one we just buried.
33:30You know, I thought I was looking at a ghost.
33:32It changes you.
33:34And I went home and told my friends what had happened.
33:37And they had the worst nightmares they'd ever had in their lives.
33:41That's when I knew my job is to bring the world's weirdest stories to the people.
33:46And what better place than Kilraven?
33:49We don't even have a Penny's.
33:51But we have people like Mal, who has committed armed robbery.
33:55Armed is a stretch.
33:57You had a golf club.
33:58A putter.
33:58Still took two grand out of the shop.
33:59Well, it would have been a grand more if it were a Penny's.
34:02Well, did you get time?
34:03Suspended.
34:04Eighteen months if I darken the door of a court again.
34:08Well, I should write a story about you.
34:12Reformed con makes good.
34:14Maybe I should write a story on you.
34:16Reformed con dies.
34:21My phone's broken.
34:22Yeah, use mine.
34:43You followed me in here?
34:45This is the men's.
34:47Oh, yeah.
34:49Wondered what that smell was.
34:50Whatever he does, he's giving me that feeling again.
34:55And then there's that other feeling.
34:59I have to go.
35:00I'll stay.
35:01Mallory and I would love it.
35:03Two shandies, and they're Mallory and I already.
35:07Dad's ill.
35:08Give Mall her phone.
35:34I don't know.
36:04Everything all right? Good. Now, why are you parked here?
36:13Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just getting my driver's license.
36:24I come here sometimes to clear my head.
36:29Funny that. Because usually when people come here, they come here to do drugs. Do you do drugs?
36:35Have you been drinking? Just the one guard. Really? Because you seem very nervous.
36:42You nervous? Then you won't mind me checking your vehicle. Yeah. You're my guest.
36:52Anything in your boot? Just an eight-inch hunting knife and enough strobe lighting to kill
36:57a man. Still, you better pop it for me. The thing's broken. You'll have to do it yourself.
37:25Hey. What's with the can?
37:27What's with the can? The thing's always acting up. It's just...
37:33Rose.
37:35Call, come in. Domestic.
37:38Give me a second.
37:40Alice worked nights at Fruit of the Loom, having spent a whole day weaving baskets, but she'd
37:48still be home in time to make her daughter's breakfast. A glamorous woman, her speciality
37:56was...
37:56Fancy baskets. Made from ash strips woven in patterns. Topped with carved flowers as...
38:04As her mother's had been. And as she hoped, her daughter roses would someday be too. You
38:11wrote that? My mom's obituary?
38:18We spoke before she passed. She said you meant the world to her.
38:24Was she in a weird way of showing it? Left an awful lot unsaid.
38:30Must have made accepting her death very difficult. She was always telling you to lose weight, find
38:38a man, wear makeup, join the gym. You've made your point.
38:42Oh, my point is... She thought you were beautiful. She wished she'd said it more.
38:50She said that? Those very words?
38:57I never met my man. I'd die happy hearing what she thought of me.
39:18Oh, Miss Clancy. When my time comes, I'd like you to write my obituary.
39:31Done. As am I.
39:36I'm not cut out for this. That close to getting course. No way. No. It ends now.
40:04So this is where they found Maria Riedel's body?
40:13You okay? Heard it's in both lungs now.
40:17The rest of my files this week.
40:24First guard in the scene?
40:25If you want to get the DPP file over, you'll need leverage.
40:32The Mallory I mentioned. The last person to see Maria alive. Five years have passed, but
40:40I bet she still remembers every tiny detail.
40:42Well, I'm way ahead of you there.
40:44I didn't drag you to this town to get your hole.
40:46No. You dragged me here so I could finish, but you couldn't.
40:50Damerson, this is my life's work.
40:54Jesus. You still don't get it. She's German. The story's international. If your work leads
41:01to the arrest of Maria Riedel's killer, we're talking books, films.
41:06In German?
41:07In every language.
41:10Netflix?
41:11I'm sick of more Skye, but we'll ask them too.
41:16That grabbed your attention. Now, our deal. Change of plan.
41:25On the arrest of the killer. You don't get half my life savings. You get the lot.
41:31Yeah? What's the catch?
41:34Not a penny, if you don't finish up before I die.
41:37And when do you think that might be?
41:44I'm working on it.
41:47And you're sure this scumbag, and I'm not saying it's him.
41:51Are you sure her husband did it?
41:52No doubt. Now go and prove it.
41:58Cheers.
41:59Go on.
42:10Elvira.
42:16The rats at you?
42:19Didn't always drink, you know.
42:20Oh yeah? Just these last few years.
42:23Yeah, well, maybe one day I'll tell you why. But for the moment I enjoy it, alright?
42:30And I can stop anytime I want, and truthfully, they don't like me without it anyway.
42:34Yeah, well, he will change, Dad.
42:36Yeah, pigs might fly.
42:38Jesus Christ.
42:40Go on, jog on, redneck.
42:42I pricked Tom.
42:43Bollocks.
42:44Do you know he's suing his own brother over his father's will?
42:46And the poor fellow's not the full shilling.
42:48And then he goes and steps out in front of you.
42:51It's an accident waiting to happen, that lad.
42:52No.
42:53When I say I'm done, I'm done.
42:58Hughie, you promised to review my salary.
43:00Now is the time.
43:05You read The Lancet, Clancy?
43:07They claim that flu season is late this year, but that it's going to hit big.
43:12Soon.
43:13That's a boon for your beat.
43:15So no review.
43:20I'm paying you for Sandy Benson.
43:23I can't publish it, but quality work deserves recognition.
43:26There's enough here for two obits.
43:30You ever heard of Sylvester McHugh?
43:34Freed not?
43:36Controversial figure.
43:38They found him slumped over the wheel of his car this morning.
43:41His meds?
43:42His wife says that he suffered from epilepsy.
43:45That's the official line.
43:47I forgot to change them back.
43:49Look, with Sandy's obit...
43:52I did that.
43:53That was me.
43:55It finally felt like you got the person you were writing about.
43:59Too right I did.
44:01And also, it inspired me to see you not have it, search for it and find it.
44:08Made me want to get back into real journalism again.
44:11Big and small.
44:13This town is full of stories.
44:16I'm going to find them.
44:18So I stay on 200 in obit?
44:20Desperation drives you.
44:22Let's see where it takes us.
44:24Do you know what you're doing?
44:27I'm making a good journalist.
44:29No, you're taking a flamethrower to this town.
44:31You just keep doing exactly as you've been doing these last few weeks.
44:37And if work turns slow again?
44:40You'll think of something.
44:51Hey, babe.
44:52Hi.
44:52Want to bounce?
44:53What?
45:02Hey, watch it.
45:03Sorry.
45:05They say if you want to write, you have to sit down, open a vein, and bleed on the page.
45:11Thing is, whose vein are they talking about?
45:16And whose blood do they mean?
45:21No matter.
45:23Huey's right.
45:24These things won't write themselves.
45:28Very good.
45:28We're not.
