00:25Go forth from this world in the love of God who created you.
00:30In the mercy of Jesus Christ who redeemed you.
00:32In the power of the Holy Spirit who strengthens you.
00:37May you dwell this day in peace.
00:39We love you.
00:41You can go now.
00:45And that's it?
00:47That's it.
00:48That's the dream.
00:49You just say a prayer?
00:50For someone who's dying.
00:52Who?
00:54I don't know.
00:56What do you think it means?
00:57Ah, bugger all, most likely.
00:59When I wake up, I...
01:01Well, I have this feeling.
01:03Of what?
01:06Dread.
01:07Ah, that's normal.
01:09I wake up with dread every single day.
01:12That's not normal, Geordie.
01:19Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye, yes.
01:24That'll be the day when you make me cry, say you don't think you know it's a lie.
01:32Oh, sorry, Vicka.
01:34Welcome to our all-American drive-in.
01:36I'm Betty, your waitress.
01:38How can I help you out?
01:39Flipping hellfire, these things are legal.
01:42Accent's getting better, though.
01:43It really does it for me, the accent.
01:45Freddie.
01:46Sorry, Vicka.
01:50That'll be ten bob, please, Vicka.
01:53Thank you, Freddie.
02:06It'll be to do with your man.
02:09What will?
02:10The dream.
02:12Uh, mirror.
02:13Mirror, sorry.
02:15A big day coming up.
02:16It's not that big.
02:17You must be nervous.
02:18I'm excited.
02:21I am.
02:22Look, we've met a few times already, and we're getting on really well.
02:28Perfectly, in fact.
02:30I can't wait for her to meet you all.
02:32Alfie Cotterham!
02:35You're a braver man than I.
02:36The most dreadful thing has happened.
02:38He's only gone and died.
02:40Who has?
02:41Bertram Mills from the garage.
02:45Bert Mills Motors.
02:49Bertram Mills from the garage.
02:51I have no idea who Bert is.
02:52Oh, we are setting to announce the passing of Bertram Mills,
02:55who died today surrounded by family and friends.
02:58Poor wife.
02:59Such a lovely couple.
03:01I spoke to him yesterday.
03:02He's not dead, Mrs. C.
03:04Yes, he is.
03:04It says it right here.
03:07What do you know?
03:09Bert!
03:10Bert?
03:11Bert, I take it.
03:12Don't believe everything you read, Mrs. C.
03:15Here he is.
03:16Man of the hour.
03:18Hello, handsome.
03:20Hello, Miriam.
03:21I demand you kiss me immediately.
03:25I demand the same, but I'm not sure my request will be met with quite the same gusto.
03:30Bravo, Alfie.
03:31It's a triumph.
03:33Could be in the Hollywood Hills.
03:34Bar the faint whiff of livestock, eh?
03:40Hey, up who died?
03:44It's a mistake.
03:46Well, it's quite the mistake.
03:47It's the echo.
03:48It won't spell Cambridge wrong.
03:50I could look into it for you.
03:52Oh, don't bother.
03:52It'll be some other chap.
03:53Well, how many other Bertram Mills do you know?
03:55We're a dime a dozen.
03:56Well, there's only one as far as I'm concerned, and I'm rather keen on him not kicking the bucket.
04:01The offer's there.
04:02Let's not make something out of nothing, Inspector.
04:04Where do you want us to put the car?
04:08Well, Bert, you are naughty.
04:19Oh, my Lord, Mrs Mills, look at that sparkler.
04:21My Freddie better buy me one of them.
04:29Sorry, sorry I'm late.
04:31There was a bit of a hoo-ha.
04:32Ah, someone forgot to pay Cece's electric bill, and then someone forgot to get us reconnected.
04:38And that someone was me.
04:41We gathered.
04:41I've never been in the red in my life.
04:43Yes, you've said that ten times already.
04:46Well, I'm saying it once more for good measure.
04:48I don't think we've met.
04:49I'm Jordan.
04:49Oh, very funny.
04:51Ship's in the night, Jack.
04:53I'm a Cece's widow.
04:54Bliss, isn't it?
04:56Wow.
04:57Remind me why we're doing this again.
04:59Because we're sociable.
05:01Since when?
05:01We are a young...
05:03Debatable.
05:04...dynamic...
05:04Again.
05:05...fabulous couple about town.
05:07And so are they.
05:08This is going to be hell.
05:10What if we don't have anything in common?
05:12We'll have lots in common.
05:14Cinema?
05:16They're fellas who like fellas.
05:18You like Geordie.
05:19You like Alfie.
05:20Not in the same way, I don't think.
05:25I've got Alfie.
05:27Please behave.
05:29Look who brought the picnic blanket.
05:32Please have fun.
05:33Look who brought the scones.
05:34Oh.
05:36Weather's looking promising.
05:37Forecaster's excellent.
05:43Big day Sunday?
05:48Not that big.
05:49Are you nervous?
05:51I wasn't until everyone started asking.
05:54I'm pulling out all the stops.
05:56Got my hands on a lovely leg of lamb.
05:58She'd be serving a fatted calf if she could.
06:02Sorry, I'll be back in a second.
06:04Of course.
06:05He's nervous.
06:07It's been a bit quiet at the halfway house recently.
06:10But we've a new chap arriving tomorrow.
06:13Well, I think it's wonderful what you've done with that place.
06:16I admire you so much.
06:19I admire you.
06:20You're wonderful.
06:21And I'm not even drunk.
06:22Well, I am drunk.
06:23And I think I love you a little bit.
06:27Nice field.
06:30I'm very rural.
06:40Hello, everyone.
06:41Hi.
06:42Our motion picture is about to start.
06:45Lady Godiva writes again a story of glitz, glamour, intrigue, and a certain miss, Diana Dawes.
06:54Now, I must thank Bert and his garage for the loan of these wonderful cars,
07:00which will definitely not in any way get scratched or damaged.
07:03Thank you, Bert.
07:05Oi, trousers.
07:06What a word with you.
07:07Now, all funds raised are in aid of Mr. Finch's halfway house,
07:11which rehabilitates those who have...
07:16lost their way.
07:18Oh, are you threatening me?
07:19Bert, please.
07:21That's enough.
07:28Um, sorry, talking of losing the way...
07:32Hot dogs!
07:33Hot dogs, yes.
07:35Betty will be round to deliver them safely to you.
07:41Safely-ish.
07:42So, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
07:48What's a hot dog?
07:52You wouldn't like me to do you a little favour, would you?
07:55How do you mean?
07:56Well, Vic gave me a bikini last night, so I won't be wearing this.
08:00I haven't worn this costume before, that's all.
08:04Men.
08:05Slave to their loins.
08:07Hmm?
08:07What was that?
08:08Nothing, my dearest.
08:12What's this?
08:13Hot dog.
08:14With mustard and ketchup?
08:16Oh, no.
08:17No, I don't think so.
08:18It's just a sausage, Sylvia.
08:21It's vulgar.
08:22It's American.
08:24Precisely.
08:25What's wrong with keeping your sausage tucked away like us British folk do?
08:29Well, I'll let you answer that one, Jack.
08:31Hello, handsome.
08:34Everything all right?
08:36Oh.
08:36That ghastly thing in the paper.
08:39It's unnerving, don't you think?
08:42Bert doesn't seem too worried.
08:45Bert doesn't do worried.
08:48His emotions run the gamut from stoic to stiff upper lip.
08:59He says it's a dinner as well, now.
09:01What do I need to do about my fridge?
09:05Well, go on, then.
09:06Off you go.
09:07I'm sure they'll figure it out.
09:09Stop, Bert!
09:10Come away!
09:17You see?
09:19All's well let ends all.
09:32I like board games.
09:36Board games?
09:37Yeah, never mind.
09:41Do you play Risk?
09:44Do I play Risk?
09:46Bloody love it.
09:49The game of global domination.
09:53Daniel likes Risk.
09:54I love it.
09:55I hate it.
09:56Me too.
09:57With all my heart.
10:01Oh, Lucy.
10:02Silly me.
10:04I catch up everywhere.
10:06What was all that?
10:09Hmm.
10:10Would you get your friend to look into it for me, please?
10:13The newspaper?
10:15Of course, I will.
10:16Well, Miriam, what's going on?
10:35It wasn't me.
10:38It wasn't me.
10:48It wasn't me.
10:49It wasn't me.
10:55Bert?
10:56No, Miriam, don't look at me, please.
11:16What does that look like to you?
11:22Umpire bites?
11:27What?
11:30Come on.
11:35Chin up, Fred!
11:37Keep buggering on!
11:43Any sign of the weapon?
11:45Toolkit in the boot?
11:49Ah, it'd be smaller than that.
11:52Then a blade.
11:55Two prongs, maybe?
11:57We'll keep searching, boss.
12:03I can explain.
12:05Let's hear it then.
12:08Yeah, thought as much.
12:10Bert was drunk.
12:12He wanted me to drive the car home for him.
12:14Ah, I didn't know he was in the back.
12:17How did you know Bertrand Mills?
12:19He was my boss.
12:21And then he sacked me.
12:23For what?
12:25For tardiness.
12:28It wasn't me.
12:30What wasn't?
12:32That's what you said to us, Freddy.
12:34Well, it wasn't me, that is.
12:37Not entirely convincing.
12:39Sorry to say.
12:41I don't think it was him.
12:43I know what you're thinking, and no.
12:46It's a crime of passion if ever I saw one.
12:48It's not his wife.
12:49It's always the wife.
12:51You've watched too many movies.
12:55What kind of murderer announces his plans in the paper?
12:59The kind that kills someone in front of an entire village.
13:02Doesn't make any sense.
13:05But a vampire bite does, does it?
13:07The two would be a detective.
13:09He's a, he's a lawyer.
13:12Oh, man.
13:19He's a lawyer.
13:21He's a lawyer.
13:21And I've done that.
13:23Yes.
13:30He's a lawyer.
13:32There's a lawyer.
13:36The white man continues to come to my mind.
13:37from the mediocre plot with the lovely Dinah Dawes
13:39and her sensual hair toss.
13:40And getting into an argument with Mr. Mills.
13:44That was unfortunate.
13:47As is this.
13:52Bert's placed it.
13:53Bert placed an announcement of his own death.
13:56He brought in the wording and paid for it himself.
13:58That feels a little...
14:00Odd.
14:01I thought so.
14:03But ours is not to reason why.
14:05Well, you're a channelist.
14:07That's exactly your reason.
14:09I wrote some opinion pieces about his garage.
14:12Not complimentary, I take it?
14:14Bertrand Mills was a con artist.
14:15I was just exposing him for the miscreant he was.
14:26Here we go.
14:28Do not buy cars from this man.
14:32Like Gregory Parsons.
14:36Well, to the point, I guess.
14:38Pity.
14:40Weapon?
14:41Still looking, boss.
14:42We have one working theory.
14:45It's a sweetcorn fork.
14:46For sweetcorn.
14:47You can do yourself a right mischief on one of them, I'll turn you.
14:50Did either of you see any sweetcorn last night?
14:52No.
14:55We'll keep mulling it.
14:56You do that.
15:01I thought we'd start the evening with Risk.
15:04And then finish with Monopoly, maybe?
15:07Well, Risk doesn't finish, Jen.
15:09It goes on for days.
15:10Sometimes weeks.
15:12God help me.
15:13We've opened the gates to hell.
15:15I see you.
15:16Or do not buy cars from this man.
15:18And I raise you.
15:21Well, that's more than a takedown of a business.
15:24That's a takedown of Bertrand Mills.
15:32I need to get these back to the garage.
15:35Miriam.
15:35I need everything in its right place or I will lose what is left of my sanity.
15:40Miriam.
15:41Stop.
15:49Don't have a cigarette, do you?
15:52You don't smoke?
15:54Desperate times and all that.
15:57The article's in the Echo.
15:59That stupid, bloody paper.
16:02Are they true?
16:04Lies.
16:05Every single word.
16:08That low-life journalist.
16:11Gregory Parsons.
16:14Horrid creature.
16:16You think he wrote the announcement of Bert's death?
16:18Don't you?
16:19Why would he do that?
16:22Jealousy.
16:23Bert was an exemplary man.
16:26Exemplary businessman.
16:28Anyone vouch for that?
16:30Your husband's business acumen, that is.
16:33Our accountant.
16:35Just a word of warning.
16:37He is rather fond of his own voice.
16:40There are three types of accountants in this world.
16:43Those that can count and those that can't.
16:46Ha!
16:49Yes, only a fraction of people will find that funny.
16:52And indeed, only half of you will actually get it.
16:58I'm guessing not this half.
17:00Sorry, I've not had to speak to the police before.
17:04Desperately trying to quell on my copper jokes.
17:06Please do, Mr. Switch.
17:08Feel free to call me Switch.
17:10Or Switchy if you're feeling fruity.
17:12Mr. Switch.
17:14You knew Bertrand Mills well?
17:16Good man.
17:17Honest?
17:18As the day is long.
17:20I have his paperwork right here.
17:25Scrupulous to a fault.
17:28It's the envelope you're after, I imagine.
17:32What envelope?
17:41Bert said this was only to be opened in dire circumstances.
17:45Like now, you mean?
17:49I suppose this is pretty dire, now you come to mention it.
18:01My business is being ruined by one man.
18:05Who knows where he'll stop.
18:07If anything happens, know it's the bastard Hack who did it.
18:13Mr. Pass.
18:23Gentlemen?
18:25If you'd come with us, please, sir.
18:27On what grounds?
18:29On the grounds, you had an argument with Bertrand Mills.
18:33And a fight.
18:34And a fight.
18:35On the grounds, you wrote some very scathing...
18:39And entirely untrue.
18:40Articles about a man who's now dead.
18:43In the paper where that death was announced.
18:46It's on those very comprehensive grounds.
18:49Do you have anything to say for yourself?
18:55I did it.
18:57You did it.
18:59That is correct.
19:03You killed Bertrand Mills.
19:05Consider this.
19:07My full and frank confession.
19:14Shall we?
19:26One for the cells, Larry.
19:28What's the charge?
19:30Murder Bertrand Mills.
19:32Really?
19:33I confessed.
19:34Fully and frankly.
19:36Right.
19:38Only what?
19:39Well, he's not the only one.
19:42He's not the only one what?
19:44To confess to the murder of Bertrand Mills.
19:55Say what you just said to me, Freddy.
19:59I killed Bertrand Mills.
20:02Told you.
20:03I'm sorry.
20:04So when you said you didn't do it.
20:07That was a little bit of a fib.
20:09To be honest with you.
20:10So now you're telling us.
20:12I did it.
20:14You did it.
20:15Yep.
20:17I killed Bertrand Mills.
20:25Now you dwell this day in peace.
20:27We love you.
20:29You can go now.
20:34Alfie, what are you doing here?
20:36I couldn't sleep.
20:40It's a big day today.
20:42Had the dream again.
20:43Of course you did.
20:44Do you want to know why?
20:46Not really.
20:48But I have a feeling you're going to tell me.
20:50Because you haven't asked your man.
20:51Mira.
20:52Mira, sorry.
20:54The big questions.
20:58Who your dad is.
21:00Why she left you.
21:04No, things are good right now.
21:06They're perfect.
21:10I don't want to ruin her.
21:13I just think until you ask, you'll keep having that dream.
21:17Perfect is the enemy of progress, Alfie.
21:23You're pretty clever sometimes, you know that.
21:26I won't let it go to my head.
21:27Post-mortem came back.
21:29Jogular severed, as expected.
21:32Eight puncture wounds, as expected.
21:35Anything unexpected?
21:36No bruising to the stomach.
21:39We saw him get punched.
21:40We thought we saw him get punched.
21:43Well, he was up behind the screen with Gregory.
21:45Unless it wasn't him or behind the screen.
21:50Unless Burt's was already dead.
22:07I've never met this man before in my life.
22:10I've never even said two words to him.
22:12Had a punch-up, though.
22:14Right?
22:14No.
22:15Yes.
22:16Shut your fat mouth.
22:17Freddy, stand up.
22:21Lift the front of your shirt up, please.
22:31Ouch.
22:33Did this man punch you?
22:35No.
22:36Yes.
22:36Do you want to confer amongst yourselves, or...?
22:39He said about me, out of the blue.
22:41You pinch my Betty's bum.
22:43Who's Betty?
22:44He's a dirty old man.
22:45You know he was having it away with her.
22:48With Betty?
22:49Not with Betty.
22:50I don't even know who Betty is.
22:51With Miriam.
22:54With Miriam?
22:55I saw him together at the garage, getting all frisky.
22:58You and Miriam?
23:00Is that true?
23:01Truth is a tricky concept.
23:03You're a journalist.
23:05He didn't deserve her.
23:06So you dally with his wife and discredit his business for good measure.
23:10But I did not pinch anyone's hind quadrant.
23:13Oh, that's something, I suppose.
23:14Which one of you killed Bert?
23:15Me.
23:16Excuse me, I am trying to confess.
23:19I've already confessed.
23:21Enough.
23:22How'd you do it?
23:23Well, if you killed him, what weapon did you use?
23:33Well, this is a first.
23:34Two confessions.
23:36Not entirely sure I believe either of them.
23:39Bert did go to the echo, you know.
23:42Witness saw him.
23:44Why would he announce his own bloody death?
23:49Now you're nervous.
23:54Oh, big day.
23:56Oh, I don't know.
23:56It's not that big.
23:57Huh.
23:59Oh.

25:37a castle in the air
25:41it's not always easy to resist
25:43did bert know
25:47i expect so
25:50we both had dalliances
25:52kept things interesting
25:54not that we ever spoke of it
25:58why is it so hard to speak the truth
26:14all things bright and beautiful
26:19all creatures great and small
26:23all things wise and wonderful
26:28all things wise and wonderful
26:53and i think that's why i'm sorry
27:06and i think that's why i think that's why i think that's why i think that's why i've had it
27:16wait a little longer for them, but they'll always appear when the moment is right.
27:32Mira. Alfie, I didn't know what to bring, so
27:37silly, really. Oh, no, they're lovely. Thank you.
27:43Look at you.
27:45Yeah, well, what do you think?
27:47Give me a twirl.
27:52So handsome.
27:59I could listen to you talk for hours.
28:02Oh, I'm not sure everyone here would agree with you.
28:05Well, I think you're wonderful.
28:11Come and meet my friends.
28:12Oh, okay.
28:16Everyone, this is Mira.
28:19Mira, this is everyone.
28:22Hello, Mira.
28:23Hello.
28:25My, there are a lot of you.
28:27Such a beautiful name, Mira.
28:30Oh, thank you.
28:32This is Jack and Mrs. C.
28:34Such a lovely name.
28:35So exotic.
28:37This is Leonard.
28:39I can see it.
28:40I think.
28:40I can see the resemblance.
28:45And this is my friend, Daniel.
28:47I see it, too.
28:48It's the cheat birds.
28:50And finally, Kathy and George.
28:53Everyone calls me Geordie.
28:55Either me.
28:58Oh, I'm so sorry.
29:00I've already forgotten everyone's names.
29:02Not to worry.
29:03Plenty of time for that.
29:06And how do you all know each other?
29:09I'm a policeman.
29:11A policeman friend.
29:14I used to be in the church.
29:16Until I wasn't.
29:18It's a long story.
29:20I'm just a hanger on.
29:22I lived out in India for a while.
29:24It's the time of the Raj.
29:27I expect you were too young to remember.
29:30Look at the pair of you.
29:32Look at them.
29:33Oh, dear.
29:34She's going to cry.
29:35I just find it terribly moving.
29:38Mother and son.
29:39Together at last.
29:47Ooh.
29:49Here we are.
29:50Marvellous.
29:53Perhaps Meera would like to say grace.
29:56Oh.
29:57Um.
30:00For what we are about to receive.
30:04May the Lord make us truly thankful.
30:07Amen.
30:08Amen.
30:08Amen.
30:16So, Meera.
30:17Where have you been all this time?
30:22Sylvia.
30:24Well, I mean, as in, where have you been living?
30:27A little village in Essex.
30:29How lovely.
30:31Lovely might be stretching it.
30:33Um, but it does quite well for me.
30:36Where have you been all this time?
30:37I didn't mean it like that.
30:39We're working on our manners.
30:41Oh, I don't mind.
30:42When have my manners been anything other than impeccable?
30:45At Cece's.
30:46When I'm trying to do the accounts.
30:48Trying?
30:49Being the operative word.
30:50Uh, lamb?
30:51Meera?
30:51Oh, no, no, no.
30:53No, thank you.
30:54Not for me.
30:54Oh, you don't like it?
30:56Oh, no, no.
30:57It's just, I don't eat meat.
30:59You don't eat meat?
31:01Religious reasons.
31:03I'm so sorry, Meera.
31:04I didn't think.
31:05No, it's fine.
31:06Honestly.
31:06I can get you something else.
31:07No, I'm very happy with these beautiful potatoes.
31:13Right.
31:17How did you like the church, Meera?
31:19Oh, it's stunning.
31:20Isn't it?
31:21One of my favourite places in the whole world.
31:23What about our Alpha here?
31:25Wasn't he marvellous up there?
31:27How does he remember all those words?
31:29I don't know where he keeps them all.
31:31Well.
31:33Do you live alone, Meera?
31:35I do, yes.
31:37No family.
31:38No, no family.
31:40Oh, what a shame.
31:42It might not be a shame.
31:44She might like to live on her own.
31:46Do you like to live on your own?
31:49I enjoy my own company.
31:51And I have a very grumpy cat, so...
31:55What is it you do, Meera?
31:58I work in a school.
31:59A teacher, of course.
32:01I knew you got that cleverness from somewhere.
32:03Not a teacher.
32:04I'm just...
32:06I'm in the office, secretary.
32:09So, not interesting, honestly.
32:12What about his father?
32:14What did he do?
32:15Mrs C.
32:19Sorry.
32:20Uh...
32:21Do you mind?
32:22I...
32:22No, no, of course not.
32:24Excuse me.
32:25I just need some air.
32:30I didn't mean to pry.
32:33It's fine.
32:34Don't worry.
32:35It's, um...
32:37Well, it's all going really well, don't you think?
32:46Poor boy.
32:48She's going to break his heart.
33:05They can be a bit much sometimes.
33:08No.
33:09No.
33:10I like them very much.
33:12I'm...
33:13I'm glad you have such...
33:15nice friends.
33:16They're more like family, really.
33:23I...
33:23I...
33:24I used to try and imagine
33:26where you might be,
33:28what you might be doing with your life.
33:31Not this?
33:33God, no.
33:34I'm so sorry.
33:36I'm blaspheming now.
33:37Don't worry.
33:38I've...
33:38I've heard a lot worse.
33:43Are you happy here?
33:48Very.
33:50That's all I ever wanted.
33:54I wasn't.
33:55At first, but...
33:57God brought me here for a reason.
34:01It was His will that brought me here.
34:04Does that sound crazy?
34:06No.
34:08A little, yes.
34:12It's...
34:13It's not what I'm used to, I suppose.
34:16Saying grace.
34:18Singing hymns.
34:21It's...
34:22Also very...
34:24British.
34:25White.
34:25White.
34:31This bloody thing.
34:35Oh.
34:37You...
34:38You didn't have to dress up for me.
34:40Of course I did.
34:42I wanted everything to be...
34:44Perfect.
34:46Silly fools, aren't we?
34:48The pair of us.
34:50Two pound a pot for a skirt is a decent amount.
34:53Not per inch of fabric, it's not.
34:55The hemline is nothing short of demonic.
34:58Just in time for spotted dick.
35:01Oh.
35:02Spotted dick.
35:03Yeah.
35:04And an uncomfortable spot about the account.
35:08So how's it going?
35:11Well, there's so much I want to say and...
35:13You're worried it's all going to fall apart.
35:16But here's the thing, what if it doesn't?
35:17What if everything that's unsaid is brought to the light?
35:21And in that light something beautiful grows.
35:25Are you drunk?
35:26A little bit, yeah.
35:27Knees are not meant to be seen, Cathy Keating.
35:30Knees are impolite.
35:31Well, how's this for impolite?
35:34Ooh.
35:35And I'm going to have to be a whole lot drunker to get through this.
35:42Geordie?
35:48Well, bugger me.
36:00What does that look like to you?
36:03Vampire bite.
36:11Miriam's notes for Bert's eulogy.
36:14They got married on the 14th of June.
36:181923.
36:19The notice in the paper was dated the 14th of June.
36:22It was the wedding anniversary.
36:24Forty years to the day.
36:26The very day he pops his clocks.
36:30Forty years of marriage.
36:31It was quite a feat.
36:35Were you happy?
36:37We were most of the time.
36:40I doubt any married couple could say more than that.
36:441923.
36:45We marry Bertrand Mills.
36:4839 years and 364 days later,
36:52Bert placed an advert in the Cambridge Ecker.
36:54This is Fertimor's edition.
36:56Sorry, can I stop you there?
37:00Why on earth would Bert announce his own death in the paper?
37:04He didn't.
37:05Or at least he didn't know he was.
37:08He thought he was announcing his love for you.
37:10Happy 40th anniversary, darling.
37:13Something of that ilk.
37:15But you swapped the notice, didn't you?
37:17You're so jealous of Bert's proclamations of love.
37:22You replaced him with a death threat.
37:25I never had any intention of harming him.
37:29I never thought Miriam did either.
37:31But you confessed.
37:33I was covering for her.
37:34But I didn't hurt him.
37:37I'm a writer.
37:38Writers don't do things.
37:41It was all just...
37:42A fantasy.
37:44I wouldn't go that far.
37:46Miriam loved me.
37:47Did you love Gregory?
37:49Oh, God, no.
37:52It was just sex.
37:54When you've been married for four decades,
37:56sometimes you need to create a little fantasy.
38:02Bert had a first two, you said?
38:05Oh, countless, I'm sure.
38:07But we had rules.
38:09No names and no breakfasts.
38:12Gives you quite the motive.
38:14Philandering husband.
38:16We loved each other.
38:18I wouldn't expect you to understand.
38:24Oh.
38:25So Bert gave you this?
38:29Ruby.
38:30For our 40th year.
38:34You were never going to leave him, were you?
38:37Of course not.
38:39And he was never going to leave you.
38:42If you could remove your hairpin, please, Mrs. Mills.
38:45My hairpin.
38:47We've got officers at your house now searching the place.
38:50But I suspect you've kept the weapon close.
38:53Let me make this as explicit as I possibly can.
38:57I loved my husband.
38:59I did not kill him with a hairpin.
39:03I know.
39:05Really?
39:06Really?
39:07Really?
39:07So who did?
39:09That was going to be my next question.
39:12It was a fantasy.
39:13All of it.
39:14Their entire relationship.
39:15He brought into it hook, line, and sinker.
39:20He'd do anything for her.
39:22Gregory.
39:23Freddie.
39:25Freddie?
39:27Freddie.
39:28Christ on a bike, of course.
39:30Gregory confessed because he thought he was protecting Miriam.
39:33And Freddie confessed because he thought he was protecting...
39:35Not Miriam.
39:35Not Miriam.
39:36No.
39:38He was protecting Betty.
39:43Betty.
39:53Betty told me she'd spilled ketchup.
40:15That's not ketchup.
40:16That's not ketchup.
40:25If she makes her run for it, we won't stand a chance.
40:28She won't run.
40:36Betty!
40:37Don't worry.
40:38She won't get far.
40:46I didn't do it.
40:53No.
40:54It's a tale as old as time, Betty.
40:57Jealousy.
40:59Who's supposed to be jealous of who?
41:01Of whom.
41:02Whom's jealous of whom, then?
41:04You are of Miriam.
41:07That old trout.
41:08Nothing to be jealous of.
41:10Apart from her husband.
41:12You were having an affair.
41:15With Bert.
41:17No.
41:20Shut up.
41:21Mr. and Mrs. Mills were nothing if not generous with their affection.
41:27What did you think, Betty?
41:28That he'd leave his wife?
41:30Who'd live happily ever after?
41:34Then you saw the ring.
41:36You are a naughty.
41:38I love my Freddie.
41:39Well, he loved you, that's for sure.
41:44He'd do anything for you.
41:52No one touches my girl.
41:56Miriam thought it was Bert up there fighting.
41:58Bert!
41:59Come away!
42:00So why would we assume any different?
42:03You were creating a distraction.
42:05While Freddie fought with Gregory.
42:07You went and found Bert.
42:11There she is.
42:12You said you loved me.
42:13I do.
42:14Of course I do.
42:15You said you'd leave her.
42:17She's me wife, you silly girl.
42:20Now let's have a look and see what's under this little uniform there is.
42:33Please, please, you have to help me.
42:36Then you told Freddie you've done a terrible thing.
42:46And then you left him to take the blame.
42:57Oopsie.
42:58Silly me.
43:09And how did I get Freddie to do everything that I asked of him?
43:12You were his dream girl.
43:14His fantasy.
43:15Do you make him sound like an idiot?
43:17He is.
43:18Slave to his loins.
43:20In his eyes you were perfect.
43:22He was so blinded by you.
43:25He couldn't face the truth.
43:27Which is what?
43:29Hmm?
43:31That I'm like old Blondie in that film.
43:33Which was rubbish, by the way.
43:35Wiggle a bum.
43:36Batter eyelashes.
43:37Fellas fall at her feet.
43:39You think you're special, Betty?
43:41I've been in this job longer than I care to mention.
43:44You're not special.
43:47You turn a penny.
43:49Bert was never going to leave his wife.
43:51It was make-believe.
43:54Ruined your life because you were too scared to face up to the truth.
44:13Life is one big risk.
44:15With every risk you take, good things can happen.
44:19I think it's just not...
44:21It's not that far, is it?
44:22It's a long way.
44:23Ladies.
44:24Your new accountant.
44:27How do you do?
44:28How do you do?
44:29Doors can open.
44:34Thank you for letting me know.
44:40The gentleman I was expecting at the halfway house.
44:43He left prison, got on the bus, robbed the driver.
44:48He's back inside.
44:50That's good.
44:52Not for him, obviously.
44:55Nice for you to have a bit of free time for once.
44:59But if you take no risks, you get nowhere.
45:03You're stuck.
45:04You're lost.
45:07Not going forward.
45:08Not going back.
45:12To live, you have to be foolhardy.
45:15You have to be bold.
45:17The game is a metaphor, you see.
45:20For life.
45:23I really wish I hadn't given up drinking.
45:37Mira, you waited.
45:39Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
45:41Shame it was entirely potatoes.
45:44I loved it.
45:45I did.
45:48We'll do it again soon, shall we?
45:51Maybe we can go for a walk along the river next time?
45:58Why didn't you want me?
46:05I was 15.
46:06The boy was 16.
46:09What was his name?
46:11It's not important.
46:16It is.
46:18It is to me.
46:22Chai.
46:24I never knew his last name.
46:28Did you love him?
46:30We were Kate's Alfie.
46:32We didn't know what love was.
46:35Do you know where he is now?
46:36No.
46:40So there's, there's, there's no way I could find him?
46:45When he found out about you,
46:52I never saw him again.
46:56Did you tell anyone else you were having me?
46:59No.
47:02Why not?
47:04Shame.
47:07I was ashamed.
47:09My mother knew, I think.
47:11She didn't say as much, but...
47:14The look on her face.
47:16The disgust.
47:21And when the time came,
47:23it was night.
47:25I was alone in my room.
47:30I, I couldn't scream.
47:32I couldn't cry out for,
47:33fear my parents might hear me.
47:36It was the loneliest moment of my life.
47:41I tucked you in a blanket.
47:46I, I, I wrote you a letter.
47:48I don't suppose you got it.
47:52Even though we will no longer be together,
47:56I will think of you
47:58every day until I die.
48:00And I did.
48:02I do.
48:06Every day.
48:09Thinking of someone
48:11it's not the same as being there,
48:14Vera.
48:20Why the Foundling Home?
48:24Why there?
48:26They were Christians.
48:29No one knew me there,
48:31no one from my community.
48:33You don't want to be found.
48:36I,
48:40I hoped
48:41an Indian family
48:42might adopt you.
48:43That
48:45you would find a place
48:46where you belonged.
48:48I have.
48:52I belong here.
48:56I thought,
48:59I thought this is
49:01what you wanted
49:01for me.
49:02I, I thought
49:03you left me.
49:04It had some kind of,
49:06some kind of meaning
49:07to it.
49:11It was the closest doorstep
49:13on a cool night.
49:18There was no meaning
49:19than that.
49:21I'm so sorry.
49:25I'm so sorry.
49:30I'm so sorry.
49:41I'm so sorry.
49:41I'll see you later.
49:41puis
