02:21first step i said that i don't know yeah but it's not about them on your film i mean i'm

02:32abbott
02:33springs you see it was all right doesn't it first appropriate care home well i visit you know don't
02:39commits to anything does it no exactly and it could take months couldn't it for us to find somewhere
02:44that meets nigel's needs and has a space available but listen you and me we need to be on the
02:52same page
02:52about this phil because i will not say yes to anywhere that isn't absolutely perfect for him

04:18i think she knows anything i ain't going anywhere
04:25oh
04:27well jimmy's still at it
04:34there are six steps to processing a crime scene out because i read it on the internet

14:32and um how are you feeling in yourself gene
14:35well to be honest with you doc it has been a difficult time for all of us
14:40um you know you probably heard about the tragic incident we had over at ours and my wife's daughter being
14:46wrongly accused and it really has messed up our kids and at the moment i'm just sleeping with one eye
14:52open and i've not had a proper kip since all this happened
14:56oh let's talk about you elfie shall we
14:58i'm just filling them in

15:00none of this is relevant i've cracked the case
15:04gene
15:04call me darling again and i will smash your face in
15:06okay
15:07right gene you can't go around accusing anybody on the basis of a girl in a toilet speaking to a
15:13boyfriend while she's whispering
15:15tell me this you tell me this
15:17is it normal for a young girl to deliberately hide her own identity
15:22to secretly terrorize her own family for months
15:26is it
15:27no
15:28it is not
15:29okay
15:30and are you frightened of this person
15:32and since this person arrived on the square her father has died and her mother's in prison
15:36would you just shrug your shoulders
15:38would you ignore all the facts
15:41what facts
15:42what bit of that isn't fact
15:44would you make out that it's all a coincidence
15:46make out that i'm the one that's going do lally tap
15:48are you frightened of this person
15:51no
15:51i am not scared
15:52i'm very very cross
16:23because i'm being ignored
16:24first step
16:26you need to come and see my crime war because i'm really quite good
16:30then the police
16:32then
16:33well i expect they'll have to take me on as an expert advisor seeing as i've been
16:39oh
16:41oh
16:42oh that's why
16:45horse's mouth
16:46i mean
16:47i
16:47oh my good grief
16:49it's like i've got direct word
16:52from agatha
16:55herself
16:56like i'm channeling miss marple
17:00i didn't ask for it
17:03just happened
17:04just like a gift from god
17:06or
17:06the hiccups
17:07absolute sense
17:09miss marple
17:102020
17:11what's it
17:12okay
17:14i um
17:16i think you might be a bit high in your mood
17:18perhaps we need to look at what we can do with your medication to to get you more stable
17:24i could prescribe clenazepam
17:26to help you sleep
17:27damp down your mood a bit
17:28yeah yeah
17:29that yeah
17:30yeah that's good
17:31i mean
17:31jean it can't hurt
17:32i couldn't care less
17:33whether you believe me or not
17:35you write out whatever you want
17:37because i have got to get to the library
17:39before it shuts
18:03i understand that it can feel like you're letting your loved one down
18:06but making the decision that now is the right time for residential care it's not unusual
18:11to feel guilty or like you're losing the final part of them
18:17but we would make a personalized care plan based on nigel's needs his likes his dislikes
18:24we try to keep open visiting hours and we would welcome your involvement
18:29okay
18:31well you certainly seem to be ticking off the dementia checklist
18:37we do our best
18:39our cqc rating this summer was outstanding
18:44we do have a space
18:47however we do have three other prospective residents and their families
18:52all visiting us at different points this afternoon
18:55why don't you take a moment to discuss
18:59coming
19:02obviously nigel has first refusal
19:04but we would need to know quickly if you'd like nigel to join us
19:07how quickly
19:09within the next 24 hours
19:19jasmine
19:20ain't that poor girl been through enough
19:23now jean is too much for you to look after on your own
19:25plus the kids listen i'll cancel the ticket i was just getting caught up with everything
19:28yeah because this door's a hundred percent though right
19:30it's core food this diary beach hotel but i don't know chris's room number
19:34okay so don't worry about that for now
19:36just
19:38you're not going to be away for long are you
19:40it's just going to be a few days max right
19:42it's going to give you a chance to track chrissy down
19:45and find the key to proving zoe's innocence right now i can manage we can manage
19:50now eve's practically at 31 every five minutes babysitting charlie and that's for jean
19:54well she kind of agrees with the psychiatrist so we've got that prescription in the back pocket
19:58but what if she don't take it okay i don't know let's worry about that when we come to it
20:02okay but
20:02listen to me
20:04you really need to do this
20:06yeah
20:07okay so come on let's go and pack your bag now it's for jean's investigations
20:11well i don't know as long as she's got a cup of tea a load of biscuits and a bad
20:14catalogue of agatha christie's to investigate

21:07she's just telling it like it is
21:12you know
21:14they've got limited beds here
21:16they're in really high demand and it's competitive and i can see why
21:19they get dementia patients they understand them
21:21you want to take the place you think we should take it what right now
21:25how long are we gonna have to wait for the next one
21:26nigel's had no proper warning has he has he's had no build up to this

21:43it doesn't
21:44matter how many conversations nigel has how hard we try to prepare him is not going to remember

26:01OK.
26:01Why is nobody listening?

26:11Clear as day. It says it.
26:13The wicked should not go unpunished.

26:32No, no, no.
26:33You have got to see.
26:35You have got to help me.
26:38My last chance.

26:41But you.
26:42You know.
26:43You.
