00:08Okay, okay, how about this?
00:10I heard a rumoured there's a beef farmer not too far from here who's feeding angel dust to his cattle.
00:14Nope.
00:15Okay, what about an article on untreated sewage in the drinking water?
00:19Nah.
00:20Nepotism in the council?
00:21No.
00:24A yoga teacher who's also running a brothel.
00:27Emerson.
00:29Listen, we need to give the locals a reason to buy a local paper.
00:33People around here couldn't give a toss if the water smells funny.
00:36They don't question why their steaks are big and juicy or why John Joe gave John Joe Jr. the contract
00:40to cut the hedges.
00:41Well, what do they want?
00:43You tell me and I'll write it.
00:46In a small town not more than 50 miles from here, there was a robbery in a post office.
00:53Now, tomorrow, their local paper's going to run a story on it.
00:57It's a cracker.
00:57I presume you've heard.
00:59No.
01:009am.
01:02Guy walks into the post office.
01:04He's all alone in the place.
01:05Well, apart from the tellers, right?
01:08Teller.
01:09There's only one on this morning because our co-worker called in sick.
01:12So, the guy that walks in is holding a fistful of helium balloons.
01:18And when he releases them, they float up and cover the security camera.
01:23Look who woke up.
01:24Camera covered.
01:25The robber pulls down his hoodie.
01:26And he pulls out a gun.
01:28And he points it at the teller, whose finger is about to press the alarm.
01:31I didn't press it, she says.
01:34I know, Sissy.
01:36How do you know, she says.
01:38Because you'd be dead if you did.
01:41That's a nice line.
01:42Totally invented by the fella writing the story.
01:45I'll tell him you said so.
01:46Do.
01:46So, with the gun pointed at her, the teller grabs a big envelope and she starts to pile the cash
01:51into it.
01:52And when she's done, she gives it to the robber.
01:54And.
01:56And what?
01:58And that's it.
02:00He leaves with the money.
02:03Now, what have you learned from this?
02:05Stories need better endings than that.
02:07True.
02:07But think big picture.
02:09That story's like something you'd see on TV, not something that happens here.
02:14That's what the readers want.
02:16Guns, crime, twists, turns.
02:19Not 400 words about their local yoga teacher being a bit of a prosy.
02:23But most importantly, good stories aren't something I can look out the window and see for free.
02:35Oh, what happened to the robber?
02:37Did he get caught?
02:38There's only one way to find out.
02:42You'll have to buy a newspaper.
02:52Killing is like eating.
02:54Put it off for too long and you become ravenous.
03:00Where and when this all ends, who knows?
03:03I only know that I've given Tom here enough rope.
03:23The man's had every opportunity to prove that he doesn't deserve this.
03:27That he shouldn't be the one to put a smile on my face.
03:31And yes, nothing.
03:35Only confirmation that a life must end.
03:40Shut up, what the fuck?
03:42Shut up!
03:43And that I get paid.
03:45Hold on, Mammy.
03:47He's your son.
03:48You deal with him.
03:50He can say what he wants.
03:52It's mine and my cattle go wherever they like.
03:56Hang up.
03:57He said what?
03:59Come on.
04:00Stay where you are.
04:02I'm on me way.
04:07All he did was put off the inevitable.
04:09His death and my happiness.
04:12Oh, I'm not done with Tom.
04:15Not by a long shot.
04:18Good morning.
04:20I got your mail by mistake.
04:25Do you have any panel at all?
04:27I don't believe in taking pills.
04:29Why?
04:30Do you believe in pain?
04:31No, I believe in paying for your fun.
04:34Good night out with Mal.
04:36I know.
04:37He's attractive and smart and my type.
04:41But he's with her now.
04:43And I have bigger fish to fry.
04:45Hey, do you fancy going on a map?
04:49It's just Hughie.
04:50He keeps knocking me back.
04:53What the hell is this?
04:57And who the hell wrote it?
04:59So I thought, you know what?
05:02I'll ask Elvira.
05:03That you might inspire me.
05:06A post office.
05:08All right.
05:10Okay, I'll take a look.
05:11Dad's collecting his dole.
05:13Said I'd run him home.
05:25Have you no shame, Ward?
05:28Do you not care what people think?
05:31You scrounging off the government like that.
05:34Why not do something with your life?
05:37Show some initiative.
05:41You're right, Veronica.
05:43You're absolutely right.
05:47How are you, Joe?
05:51Four tea to warm.
05:52You got a tip?
05:53Yeah, it's all me homework.
05:56Some balls, you got work?
05:58It's not balls, Joan.
05:59It's initiative.
06:01Touch me for luck.
06:03Sláinna, Wally.
06:05I'm Maud, and you're betting on the Pawneys.
06:09Patsy, you know the drill.
06:11All financial transactions are to be conducted in my office.
06:16And I will show you over there.
06:21There's pants on me.
06:39I'll tell you what.
06:40That horse is a dead shirt.
06:42It won't touch a twig.
06:46Should have heard what she said to me.
06:48That Veronica Sloan.
06:49You think my dull money was hers, the way she was acting?
06:52Somebody should really...
06:52What, do something about her?
06:58You said you were getting paid.
06:59I also said we bill's overdue.
07:05That's not even the price of admission.
07:07There's eight quid over.
07:10You couldn't get two pints with that?
07:12Then buy three glasses.
07:14That's good into you.
07:23Anonymous hate mail.
07:25The writer claims that I...
07:27You're nothing but a third-rate reporter
07:29working for a field newspaper.
07:32A sentimental hack with a limited vocabulary.
07:35Your prose is laborious.
07:37With a grasp of...
07:38Grammar so poor it would make a six-year-old blush.
07:42Column, you're six.
07:44Does Sylvia's grammar make you blush?
07:48Each column arrives DOA
07:51with articles possessing the...
07:53emotional resonance of instructions
07:56on the side of a Lego box.
07:59Whoa.
08:00You, Miss Clancy, make Maeve...
08:03Maeve...
08:04Bynchie?
08:04Look like...
08:05Dostoyevsky.
08:06What do I do?
08:08Bin it.
08:09And let it eat me alive.
08:14Buy it.
08:16It'll give you a lift.
08:18Dad dropped 50 quid on a horse today.
08:2050 quid.
08:21We don't have.
08:28Our English teacher,
08:30Mrs. Burke.
08:32You think she wrote it?
08:33No.
08:34She made us write an essay once.
08:36You got 62%.
08:38Flipped.
08:39Do you know what marks I got?
08:40Less than 62%.
08:42You always took that stuff in your stride.
08:44I was too busy defending you.
08:46I spent that week clattering anyone that said a bad word about you.
08:49And for that, I'm grateful.
08:50Yeah, well, I wish I hadn't.
08:54We got names for ourselves.
08:56Names we never shook.
08:57You, the space cadet with the dead mother.
09:00And you, the dumb jailbird with a dead owl.
09:02There was another one.
09:08Wasn't there another one?
09:10Callum, where's your baby brother?
09:15We'll go get him then.
09:17Christ, on a bike.
09:20Does babysitting pay well?
09:22It does when you're on the door.
09:25It's definitely written by a man.
09:26Oh, my God.
09:27Did you not hear what I just said?
09:29Ignore it.
09:30Do what you do best.
09:32Which is what, exactly?
09:34Write something so good, this wanker never lifts a biro again.
09:49No letter talk, I said.
09:51No, it's funny.
09:52Why, because it laughs at me?
09:54No, it's a bit of tell-tale science.
09:56Look, unusual penmanship.
09:58That is basically a trail of breadcrumbs.
10:02It's like our poison pen friend is begging to get caught.
10:07If they wanted to be caught, they'd have signed their name.
10:09Well, they virtually have.
10:10What use is it knowing that this person dots their I's funny or their T's slanted and angled?
10:15Where are you going?
10:16You're broke.
10:17Who says I'm buying?
10:18Oh, Dad, don't leave me like this.
10:20You don't need me.
10:21You're going to be in the box room chasing after your breadcrumbs.
10:24They're all in there.
10:26Go find them.
10:27No, no, the box room.
10:39I love you as I loved you
10:43When you are sweet
10:47When you are sweet
10:54Sixteen
11:03Well, it gets a bit wild in here on the whole day, huh?
11:06Nothing compared to when the children's allowances come out.
11:08No, what about you?
11:09You want to get up and sing?
11:10I heard you do a pretty good stay in the life.
11:12Remember me of our deal again?
11:14Drinks for a chat.
11:15Rum and Coke, right?
11:16Good man.
11:18Someone's done their homework.
11:29Knock now, Patsy.
11:31I want my fiver.
11:33Well, you're not getting your fiver.
11:35You're getting a tenner.
11:37I just want the fiver.
11:39I know.
11:40But you give me a fiver
11:41and I'll give you a tenner.
11:44Think of it as interest.
11:49Good man, Patsy.
11:51Right.
11:53Where is it?
11:55Oh, Dolde.
11:55Dolde.
11:57Now, Patsy, hop it.
11:59There's a young buck here
11:59and need to school on the ins and outs of a new town.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Do you know Patsy?
12:06Yeah.
12:06Great singer.
12:07Gifted.
12:08Cheers, Patsy.
12:09I'll catch you later.
12:20All right.
12:22Now then, about this story?
12:24Yeah.
12:24Well, it's about Kilraven.
12:26You don't have to be putting this town on the dole, right?
12:28And the other half, the good people, they work, right?
12:30I don't.
12:32No, no, you stopped working a few years back.
12:34Listen, if you're going to write a story
12:36about dole sponges by the sea,
12:38please leave me out of it.
12:39Why did you stop working?
12:41You know, it was around the time
12:43that woman was killed, wasn't it?
12:44That, uh, Austrian or Swiss or...
12:47German.
12:47German.
12:49Oh, no.
12:50But I guess you already knew that.
12:52See, I think you've been talking to Clive Cavendish
12:55and he's been putting ideas in your head.
12:58Tell you, it's a dangerous game.
12:59Do you know the night she was murdered?
13:01She drank right here.
13:03You were here too, right?
13:05Do you know,
13:06people in this town,
13:07they get a bit, uh,
13:08testy when the subject's broached.
13:10You're probably better off
13:12sticking with your dole fraud story.
13:15Well, Ward,
13:16they're not the ones buying your booze,
13:18then, are they?
13:36Like, I didn't really know, Maria.
13:38Yeah, but you knew of her.
13:39Well, I knew she was a novelist
13:40or something, you know?
13:41Well, she was heading home.
13:43She had a one-way ticket to Hanover.
13:44Her handbag,
13:45her passport
13:45and her ticket
13:46never found.
13:47Yeah, no, it's tragic.
13:49You think?
13:49Well, she was an outsider here.
13:51The people just didn't take to her.
13:52Yeah, why was that?
13:54Because they're fucking weirdos.
13:57Look, take me through that night, right?
13:58Now, I heard you left after she did.
14:00Look, I was blotto.
14:02My head was like a gaping abyss.
14:05You see, now,
14:05that's where I have a problem.
14:08You see, up until that night,
14:10people say that you...
14:10What people?
14:12Well, these fucking weirdos.
14:14You know, they say you were a quiet man,
14:16took no more than a few jars at your local,
14:18and then, I don't know, something changed.
14:20Look, I wasn't the only one
14:21who was in here that night.
14:22But you were here,
14:23and you were sober.
14:24Well, it was if Mallory
14:25and...
14:25and...
14:26and...
14:26and...
14:26the jury were here.
14:27I'll get to them.
14:28Yeah, but they're not going to tell you anything.
14:30I tell you,
14:30you're better off talking to Garda Mulcahy.
14:33Yeah, I'd try that.
14:34No luck.
14:35Well, that's the thing about Rose, you see.
14:38You scratch her back,
14:39she'll scratch yours.
14:40Well, like a lot of people in this town,
14:42I don't think she likes me.
14:45Well, I think
14:46you've got a fresh problem now.
14:47Which is?
14:49I drink faster than you ask questions.
14:51On you go.
15:17I left at 11.
15:18Maria was gone.
15:19I went to the chipper,
15:20and then went straight home.
15:21And Elvira can confirm this?
15:23What, that I went to the chipper?
15:25Oh, that she came home.
15:27Are you accusing me of something?
15:28No, no, no, no, no.
15:30I'm just trying to put together
15:31a timeline here, okay?
15:33My daughter was going through
15:34a rough time back then.
15:36Elvira!
15:37Wake up!
15:42She can't remember a thing.
15:44Well, she seems way better now.
15:46Yeah, well, she's a work in progress.
15:51Listen, I don't want you to mention
15:53any of this to her, ever, okay?
15:56Well, say I do.
15:57What happens then?
15:59I end up in the forest
16:00with a bullet in my gut.
16:02Well, as I said,
16:04that's a dangerous game.
16:07What is?
16:09Putting ideas in people's heads.
16:17Get yourself a wee drink.
16:21Among all this banality,
16:24there is a match in here somewhere.
16:26And I won't quit
16:27until I find it.
16:52Does a Mr. Stewart live here?
16:54Andrew is my husband, yeah?
16:56Yeah, well, your husband
16:57has been writing to me
16:58nasty letters.
17:00I don't think so.
17:01The man is sick.
17:03You've made a mistake.
17:04Really?
17:06I'd like to hear him say that.
17:13Well, you're right.
17:15He is sick.
17:16He also hasn't written in years.
17:20I'm sorry, I thought...
17:21Next time you try this,
17:24you better be sure.
17:27I've done this wrong.
17:30Rather than look at
17:31how something is written,
17:32I need to look at
17:33what is written.
17:57Big move, didn't she?
17:58Look like Dostoyevsky.
18:04Peggy Brunswick.
18:12Peggy Brunswick.
18:15As I said,
18:16intel is essential.
18:23So it's time to see
18:24what Peggy fills her day with
18:26when she's not writing
18:27those delightful letters.
18:29She's not the same.
18:36She's not the same thing.
18:41She's not the same thing.
18:42Anything else?
18:50Hey, Tony.
18:52orders the same bowl of soap every day
18:55and takes over an hour to eat it
18:59what's with the hiccups
19:01she's had them for years
19:02something to do with her heart
19:04not that she has one
19:06sorry but fuck that old woman
19:07my first day here she goes on about how
19:11girls who have abortions are murderers
19:14and the worst part
19:18not once has the bitch ever tipped me
19:32while Peggy plays with her soup
19:34I've got one whole hour to find what I need
19:58so
20:05so
20:07so
20:16I don't know.
20:44I don't know.
21:08I guess that makes us more different than I thought.
21:13Dad, am I a good person?
21:20Where's this coming from?
21:21I met someone today. He's a real cool dude. Bill? He has Down syndrome.
21:27Yeah, Bill Butler. He's quite the character.
21:30Did you know he goes out of his way to do an old woman's shopping?
21:34Just made me think, you know, that maybe I could be a better person.
21:39I don't think Bill does Peggy's shopping at a choice.
21:44Really?
21:44Yeah. You see, the bail bill broke Peggy Brunswick's window with a schlitter.
21:51And poor Bill's mummy doesn't work.
21:54So to pay it off, Peggy makes Bill do her daily shop.
21:59That's awful.
22:02Yeah.
22:04Just made him for the day.
22:10Oh, Vera.
22:12Am I a good father?
22:14You made me, didn't you?
22:16I mean, doesn't that answer your question?
22:25That bitch.
22:30Third rate reporter.
22:32Little boy, I suppose.
22:35Grasp of grammar so poor to make a six-year-old blush.
22:39No, no, no. Can't be having that.
22:42Sorry, Peggy.
22:43But this won't be some half-assed suicide.
22:48This, this will be a work of art.
22:55And there's nothing more artful than a letter from Peggy killing Peggy.
23:29Like sit-ups and skateboarding,
23:31turns out forgery is a lot harder than it looks.
23:48Dear Bill, I turn to you in my time of need.
23:52There's a job that needs doing so delicate no one may know.
23:56My affliction, hiccups, requires an urgent cure.
24:02A shock to the system that would make my life finally bearable.
24:06I am enclosing 150 euro as payment.
24:11The task is simple.
24:13Wear a mask, then on a night of your choosing so that I am unaware.
24:18Frighten me with a fright so frightening it would almost scare me to death.
24:23For this bill I will be forever grateful.
24:26Your friend Peggy.
24:31She was heading to bed and you came charging out of a room.
24:35You gave her a shock and she fell back down the stairs.
24:39Is that what happened?
24:47Peggy's over to die for.
24:51I love you.
24:59A girl can dream.
25:02But a girl can also make those dreams a reality.
25:39Killing is a race.
25:40Not between you and a victim.
25:42But between you and God.
25:43And I don't like to lose.
25:46Did someone do something?
25:47I think she's gone.
25:48No, no, no.
25:49If she dies, I won't get to kill her.
25:58Well, at least those hiccups have stopped.
26:13Shit.
26:15Clancy.
26:22That was fast.
26:23I've not read it yet.
26:24Speaking of fast, how did you write it so quick?
26:28Just flowed out of me.
26:29Yeah.
26:30Well, I wish it hadn't.
26:32Why?
26:33Is there a problem?
26:34Yeah.
26:35Peggy.
26:38From day dot, she wasn't a fan of yours.
26:41She made it clear that as long as you worked in this paper, she didn't want you writing her
26:45a bit.
26:46I should have said.
26:48But I tried to save her life.
26:51Well, you know what old people are like.
26:53So who's going to write it then?
27:01Does that mean I don't get paid?
27:05Hughie, I'm broke and now deeply depressed.
27:08Sorry, Clancy.
27:11No pay if you're not in the paper.
27:13Is there anywhere else you can get some cash?
27:19Something's up.
27:21My letter should have arrived by now.
27:23Good morning, Bill.
27:23How are you?
27:24Good morning.
27:24I'm fine.
27:26Oh, come on.
27:32I posted it four days ago.
27:35Letters arrive when they arrive.
27:39Now keep your voice down.
27:42Have you been drinking?
27:45The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
27:48Excuse me?
27:49People are looking.
27:51So?
27:52Who's next?
27:56Him, if I have my way.
28:00Well, Veronica, is she as younger you're getting?
28:04This is my favourite part.
28:05Poorly written and lacks any sort of meaningful content.
28:11Sorry, Elvira.
28:13I got your post by mistake.
28:15It's just Hughie messed up again.
28:17Wow.
28:18This concerned reader seems really concerned.
28:21Our readers pay our salary, Kate.
28:25Their concerns are our concerns.
28:32Peggy posted this the same day as I posted my letter to Bill.
28:37Who happens to be a nice kid, only nice doesn't pay the bills.
28:41My money comes home with me.
28:44Before writing obituaries, I like to grab a word with the nearest and dearest.
28:48Just, since Peggy didn't have any family, you're it.
28:54So, anything you'd like to add?
28:56Peggy was a bitch.
28:58He never talked like that before he met her.
29:01That's bitch.
29:02Can you quote him on that?
29:04You agree with him?
29:06Worst person I've ever met.
29:08Wasn't she, Bill?
29:09I thought a bitch.
29:11Okay, but, um, I suppose I'd like to dig deeper if someone dies and they were...
29:16Despised.
29:18Well, there's a reason for it.
29:20You really want to know what made her so messed up?
29:23Absolutely.
29:25The reason she was horrible was...
29:30Hey, I'll get that.
29:32No, I'll do it.
29:40Here, you're into hurling.
29:42Bill.
29:44Oh, my God.
29:49Wait till you see this letter.
29:50I get so many mental letters.
29:53What is it?
29:54She's named Bill as a beneficiary in her will.
29:57I get her money?
29:58Her house.
30:00Which means, whatever happens to me.
30:03You'll be okay.
30:13About that stuff we said.
30:15Peggy, what is the saint?
30:16And we'd hate for anyone to think we thought different.
30:20Oh, but my job was about being truthful, so painting Peggy as some saint...
30:25Which she was.
30:27I'm sorry, but we won't have a bad word about her.
30:34I'll give you 50, okay?
30:36That's all I can get.
30:37For the five minutes, I'll get it back.
30:38Relax, Patsy.
30:40You'll get your money.
30:41I'll put it in here.
30:42That's why you think I want you to give it to me in here before we go out.
30:44I will give it to you in here, all right?
30:45You'll get off me back.
30:46Just a mask and put it in here.
30:48I'll get your money.
30:48I don't want to have a good one.
30:53Put everything in an envelope.
30:55I'm all out.
30:56Well, a bag, then.
30:58Sorry.
30:59Scumbag.
31:00I'm out of those, too.
31:03I read about you.
31:05Say something.
31:06I was just saying that you shouldn't let her talk to you like that.
31:09What do you want me to do?
31:10Pop her?
31:11A bit more work for the daughter.
31:13You were telling me to kill her.
31:15I didn't say that.
31:16What kind of town is this?
31:18Look, I'm a thief, okay?
31:20Not a murderer.
31:27You know what, bud?
31:30Maybe you're right.
31:32Maybe I am a killer.
31:33What the hell?
31:35What did you say?
31:37Well, I said there's somebody behind you.
31:39Oh!
31:41Oh!
31:42Oh!
31:44Oh!
31:44Oh!
31:45Oh!
31:45Oh!
31:47Oh!
31:47Oh!
31:49Oh!
31:51What am I supposed to do now, Ward?
31:53Patsy, can I see I'm a bit busy at the moment?
31:55Ward, I need my money.
31:58Look.
31:59Forty to one, Chad.
32:00Dead, sir.
32:01There you go.
32:10What?
32:12No.
32:18Where's my money?
32:36Is he okay?
32:37No.
32:38No.
32:38No, I asked him if he wanted a drink.
32:39He said he'd have a coffee.
32:41Oh, Jesus.
32:43Well, thanks for staying with him.
32:44I really appreciate it.
32:47Do you mind if I stay a little longer?
32:50It's a cool story.
32:51I want to see how it ends.
32:58Hey.
32:59How are you?
33:00God forgive me for the things I said about Tom quickly.
33:03That man's a hero.
33:05He did what anyone else would do.
33:07Yeah, but he wasn't there.
33:08You mean if I had killed him?
33:10I'd be dead.
33:11He saved my life.
33:13Yeah, well, looks like he saved his own life too.
33:16I know Veronica Sloan.
33:18Do you know, she pulled down the shutters on her window.
33:21That guy acts like every penny in that place belongs to her.
33:25Of course she does.
33:27Because she's stealing from it.
33:29That envelope reeked of glue.
33:32Give me two ticks and we're just going to go and see this race.
33:40What's up to look?
33:43Just something Dad said.
33:44About the robbery?
33:45Which one?
33:47Come on, Emerson.
33:48Take the bait.
33:49Shit.
33:50The teller?
33:51There you go.
33:52The one who acts like every penny in the place belongs to her.
33:55Look, I know you need this.
33:56Yeah, well, there's an understatement.
33:58But I don't like gossiping.
34:00Then consider yourself a source.
34:02Everything strictly between us.
34:04Come on.
34:05I'm already doing a story on the robbery.
34:07This is the cherry on top.
34:09It's the perfect ending.
34:10The locals will love it.
34:12Of course they'll love it.
34:13Look, just tell me.
34:15Have there been rumours that this Veronica person has been stealing?
34:18I don't believe it.
34:20Good man, Ward.
34:21That was some tip-out.
34:25Yeah, well done, Patrick.
34:28Couldn't be happier for you.
34:43I was wondering when you'd call.
34:47Where's the photographer?
34:49You are here to talk about the robbery, right?
34:54Well, it depends, Veronica.
34:58On what?
34:59On which robbery we're talking about.
35:16Make it quick.
35:17Well, I have a story about to go.
35:21On Maria Reid.
35:22On someone stealing money from the people of this town.
35:26We're talking 20 grand over 10 years.
35:28Have you talked with this criminal mastermind?
35:31She admitted everything.
35:32She?
35:33Said she did it right under everyone's name.
35:36Now, when people read this story, they'll ask,
35:39how did this happen?
35:41Then they'll ask, who let it happen?
35:45And you know who they'll point the finger at.
35:48Well, you want to make a swap.
35:51Otherwise you wouldn't be here, you'd publish it.
35:53Well, I'll hold off.
35:55You know, I'll give you time to get the jump on me.
35:59And in return, you want.
36:06The DPP file.
36:08Buriedl.
36:09No chance.
36:11It's in a vault.
36:11It was.
36:12Till last year.
36:14How do you know that?
36:16On the slide, cold case, we're taking another look.
36:18They digitised the whole file.
36:20A file I would really, really love for you to print off for me.
36:27Could lose my job.
36:29What with what I'm about to give you.
36:31You could help your job.
36:36Do you know how you remind me of someone?
36:39Oh, cool.
36:39Who?
36:40I can't remember.
36:43But they annoy the shit out of me.
36:47Well, that's not very nice.
36:49Oh, neither are you.
36:52No.
36:54Does he have a name?
37:02Veronica, open the door.
37:33Oh, Veronica.
37:45Hmm.
37:47Another problem?
37:48Huh?
37:49With Veronica's obit?
37:51No.
37:53It's a solid piece of work.
37:54Look, you tell the reader without telling the reader that this was a complex and lonely person.
38:02What kind of feel for her?
38:04Veronica's life was a cry for help.
38:07Hopefully when the town reads this, they won't see a monster.
38:12They'll see someone who did bad things, but had their reasons.
38:16Veronica had unmet needs.
38:18Needs we can't understand, and if stealing helped that, then it's a price worth paying.
38:25Right.
38:26Hmm.
38:28I can't understand why Veronica killed herself.
38:34Call me old-fashioned, but she was a tough cookie.
38:36It's always the last one you suspect.
38:40I don't know.
38:42Feels off.
38:43Veronica doesn't strike me as a suicide.
38:46I'm sorry, Huey, but that's kind of an insensitive thing to say.
38:50Not if it's the truth.
38:56Hold on.
38:57I'm not done.
39:02Emerson's in a bad way.
39:04I think he blames himself for going too hard on Veronica.
39:07Can you have a word?
39:08Oh, I don't think I...
39:10Please, this is your kind of thing.
39:14Suicides?
39:15The bereaved.
39:17Right now, Emerson is grieving.
39:24I don't know.
39:41I think we look at death all wrong.
39:44I think we should look at it as freedom.
39:48Talking to families after a death, they always say something like,
39:52they're finally at peace, or at least they're free now.
39:57Give them time.
39:58They'll tell you how much pain this person was in.
40:01Because everyone's in pain.
40:03And Veronica...
40:05She was no different.
40:08You didn't hurt her.
40:10You freed her.
40:13She lived in fear.
40:15The shame of being caught, and now that fear is gone.
40:19That's how you need to look at it.
40:22That's how I look at it, and...
40:24It works for me.
40:29I'm not caught up because of what Veronica did.
40:31No?
40:32No.
40:33I can tell you this, right?
40:35Yeah, you can tell me anything.
40:38Veronica made her own decisions.
40:40Right?
40:40To steal?
40:41To end her own life?
40:42Exactly.
40:42That's not on me.
40:43No, it's not.
40:44No.
40:44What bothers me is...
40:48That it took someone dying for you to write something this good.
40:53You've read it?
40:54Twice.
40:55And?
40:55That's the best thing I've read in Young's.
41:02So that's what's bothering you.
41:04That you benefited from someone's death, and it made you feel...
41:08Happy.
41:11Don't worry.
41:13I won't tell anyone.
41:15Not even Mal.
41:17No, I already told Mal.
41:22Really?
41:25What did she say?
41:27That I should talk to you.
41:29That no one gets this stuff better than Elvira Clancy.
41:48Oh, here, I got you something.
41:51For me?
41:52Mm-hmm.
41:53Can you afford this?
41:55Oh.
41:56What am I saying?
41:57Of course you can.
41:59Not anymore, I can't.
42:01I lost the babysitting gig.
42:03What happened?
42:04That little shit, Callum.
42:05That we took shopping?
42:06Mm.
42:06Squealed to his man.
42:07I had his baby bro doing a little...
42:10off-the-books retail therapy.
42:13Including this?
42:14I told him everything I know.
42:16No, that's not even the worst part.
42:18His mother rewarded me to the dole.
42:22I might have to get a real job.
42:24Look, I've had a good week if you need cash.
42:27Nah.
42:28Got an upgrade on my phone.
42:29Found a dude who wants to buy it.
42:34That Lippy was to cheer you up.
42:35Looks like you don't need it.
42:39I took your advice.
42:41About the letter.
42:43Ignored it.
42:44Went home and wrote up a storm.
42:47Good for you.
42:50You're not sticking around.
42:52Gotta bounce.
42:53Celebration drinks with Emerson.
42:55He's had a good week too.
43:01I used to be able to hear Sandy scream.
43:03That memory is fading now.
43:07That must be how this goes.
43:10Still.
43:11New memories are forming.
43:14Better memories.
43:16Memories I could only dream of.
43:30Change your mind.
43:32Sorry.
43:33Thought you were my friend.
43:34Not yet.
43:36Do you come here often?
43:39I do.
43:40Every day.
43:44Even that day Mr. Benson fell.
43:46Oh no.
43:47No, no, no.
43:49I can still hear him scream.
43:51Seeing him fall like that.
43:53I've played in my head over and over.
43:55I'm sorry.
43:56Do I know you?
43:57Not yet, Elvira.
43:59We're going to do something about that.
44:02See you around.
44:05Not if I see you first.
44:23We're going to do something about that.
44:24We're going to do something about that.
44:24We're going to do something about that.
44:24We're going to do something about that.
44:25We're going to do something about that.
44:25We're going to do something about that.
44:26We're going to do something about that.
44:27We're going to do something about that.
44:27We're going to do something about that.
44:28We're going to do something about that.
44:29We're going to do something about that.
44:30We're going to do something about that.
44:31We're going to do something about that.
44:32We're going to do something about that.
44:36We're going to do something about that.
