00:00MUSIC PLAYS
00:23Gemma's always been a right messy man.
00:30Oh, he's a state of that. Even a bra's allowed.
00:32HE CHUCKLES
00:33I can't believe it's my last day at the Coalface.
00:36PHONE BUZZES
00:38Hello?
00:40Hey, Todd. Yeah, coming up.
00:42I can't believe you're binning off your job.
00:44You're making a big mistake.
00:46You've been through this.
00:48Morning, ladies.
00:50Big day.
00:52You're not feeling sad about mothballing your dog, Colin?
00:54Look, I may be stepping away from my responsibilities for now,
00:58but a vocation just doesn't disappear overnight.
01:00That's you, Todd.
01:02Right. I'll see you later.
01:04Yeah, see you later.
01:08You look like you're bricking it.
01:10And you know why that is.
01:14Maybe I'm worrying for no reason.
01:17It could be that yesterday you were just having a bad day
01:21and you... and I've run away from you.
01:23I've not changed my mind.
01:26I'm done.
01:30I've booked an emergency appointment with Dr Garras.
01:34I'm going to ask for some morphine.
01:36They don't just dole it out willy-nilly.
01:38Look, I know it's a long shot, but...
01:41I've got to try.
01:43I know...
01:45this has all been really hard on you.
01:49I'm dead grateful...
01:51for everything you've done for me.
01:53It's fine.
01:55Whatever you need.
01:59When the time comes,
02:01when I'm ready to go,
02:03I'll need an helping hand.
02:07Wait, what?
02:09You're asking me to...?
02:11Well, I won't be able to do it myself.
02:13I'm fit for now.
02:15Look, I... I can't just...
02:17snuff your life out.
02:20Snuff your life out?
02:24You're my only chance of escape.
02:26Don't make me beg.
02:30All right, Evelyn?
02:32Checking out some doggie porn?
02:34Pornography rots the brain, Addy.
02:36Yeah, but I expect you already know that
02:38from personal experience, do you?
02:401-0 to Evelyn.
02:45Yeah, I should just keep it shut.
02:47She outclasses me every time.
02:49You look like you need that coffee.
02:51My head's proper muzzy.
02:53I feel you. I had a proper restless night.
02:55I had this mad dream about Zayn Malik.
02:57He took me on a date and bought me a big,
02:59battered sausage from this chippy in Bradford.
03:01A big, battered...
03:03I'm not even gonna go there.
03:05It's so hot. Have you seen him with that buzz cut?
03:07Do you, er...
03:09Do you think I'd suit a buzz cut?
03:11You? No.
03:13No. Your hair is fine as is.
03:15It's all nice and floppy,
03:17but not as heady I used to have.
03:19I take it
03:21that you're still searching for
03:23evidence of Terry's transgressions.
03:25I am. Terry's transgressions.
03:27It sounds like one of those
03:29films from the 70s about naughty window cleaners.
03:31Well, whatever it is
03:33you're trying to find, I fear
03:35you may be on a fool's errand.
03:41So we've got a kill list, then?
03:43Now that I've said no, you're gonna ask next, the milkman?
03:47You shouldn't be putting this on anyone.
03:53I'm scared, Todd.
03:55Terrified.
03:59I'd be the same.
04:01We all know
04:03where this is going.
04:05My body's failing.
04:09I don't want to be
04:13locked in.
04:16Helpless.
04:18And you are not there yet.
04:22There must be some
04:24strategies
04:26that you can use.
04:28I already feel like
04:30a hostage.
04:36I just want some options, yeah?
04:38Is that too much to ask?
04:40Was Abby?
04:42I got her this.
04:44I know it's not much, but
04:46I just wanted to say a little thank you.
04:48All right. Where's mine?
04:50I'm just messing.
04:52OK.
04:56I just thought
04:58I'd give the officer a once-over.
05:00There's dirt in there that's older than me.
05:02If you're keen, I'll give you that.
05:04Yeah, well, if you had another chance,
05:06I'd give it to you.
05:09Yeah, well, if you hadn't have unsacked me,
05:11I'd be at a loose end right now.
05:13I'm not good when I'm left to my own devices.
05:15Well, we'll keep you busy.
05:17I reckon
05:19I've got the real reason why Abby was so
05:21keen to give me a second chance.
05:23Because she's kind?
05:25Because she wants me to wrestle with that paperwork.
05:27I know much she hates it.
05:29Look, you made a mistake.
05:31You try and put things right, you can't say further, can you?
05:33That means the world to me, Kev.
05:35I promise I won't let you down.
05:39DOOR CREAKS
05:45The pressure sores don't look too bad.
05:49I'm in a bit of pain, though.
05:51Quite a lot of pain
05:53as it goes.
05:55I mean, some days it's unbearable.
05:57And I'm getting terrible cramp in my back
05:59from sat in this thing all day.
06:01What you need to do is
06:03keep repositioning yourself.
06:05Maybe try a gel cushion,
06:07some lumbar support.
06:09What I really need
06:11is just something for the pain.
06:13I know the sores don't look too bad
06:15at the moment, but
06:17honestly, sometimes the pain
06:19does my head in.
06:21Well, I'd go for an over-the-counter painkiller,
06:23like ibuprofen.
06:25I've already tried that. Don't touch it.
06:27I was hoping for
06:29something stronger.
06:31I don't know, morphine?
06:33I'm afraid I couldn't justify
06:35prescribing that.
06:37But I can recommend cocodamol.
06:39Right.
06:41Off to the pharmacy for me, then.
06:43There you go.
06:45Cash.
06:47That should cover the cost for some of the materials for the bar job.
06:49Mate, I don't know.
06:51You change your mind more than I change my undercrackers.
06:53What's up?
06:55You were well keen yesterday.
06:57Yeah, I know. I was.
06:59Don't you want to make a hefty profit, no questions asked?
07:01Do I ever.
07:04I'll get down to the supplies you recommended
07:06and make a start.
07:08Yeah, all right, I'll come with.
07:10I could do with scoring us both a coffee first, though.
07:12Let me guess, cappuccino, five sugars?
07:14No can do, I'm afraid.
07:16I promised the customer I'd drop in on them
07:18and I want to get it out of the way before I get stuck into our job.
07:20I'll catch you later, yeah?
07:24Ah, look at you two.
07:26Like an old married couple.
07:28What?
07:30Ignoring each other.
07:32Oh, I heard a story about a woman
07:34who overdosed on over-the-counter meds.
07:36Her organs shut down one by one.
07:38Took her a week to die.
07:40And is it being so cheerful
07:42that's keeping you going?
07:44Sometimes, to save your sanity,
07:46you need to look away from the news.
07:48It's too bleak.
07:50Or you need to focus on fun stories like Hippo with a Hound.
07:52Say him again, Ty.
07:54Actually, make mine a pine.
07:56You will make this your last, though, won't you, Todd?
07:58You do know alcohol's a depressant.
08:01Do you know that you sell alcohol for a living?
08:05Give it a rest, will you?
08:07Ain't even the Grim Reaper a room for his money.
08:11Over-the-counter meds aren't gonna cut it.
08:13What if they found me?
08:15Brought me back to life?
08:17Their mum would kill me.
08:19All right, Captain Buzzkill, can we please talk about something else?
08:21Look, I will just say this.
08:23There's still some strength left in this hand,
08:25so if I get a wiggle on,
08:27I'll be able to do it soon.
08:29I can't believe Dr Gaddis won't give me any morphine.
08:31How sick does a bloke have to be?
08:33Sorry, I wasn't ear-wigging.
08:35But honestly, is that true?
08:37Coca-Cola Mall's the best she's got to offer, mate.
08:39That's outrageous.
08:41The state you're in,
08:43you'd think the doctor would give you more help.
08:45So, um,
08:47how's it going?
08:49Apart from the obvious.
08:51Can't complain.
08:53That's rich. Does not but complain.
08:55I've gone and triggered her.
08:57She's had a troubled life, hasn't she?
08:59Been through a lot.
09:01Probably given her more empathy.
09:03Yeah.
09:05See, it's hardly what I was thinking.
09:19See you tomorrow.
09:25PHONE RINGS
09:51Hiya.
09:54Er, he asked me to bob in, so...
09:56Yeah, erm...
09:58Stick the kettle on, will you, Todd?
10:00Yeah.
10:04I've got used to that.
10:06Seeing pity in people's eyes.
10:10This is as good as it gets for me now.
10:12My body's bailing on me.
10:14Bit by bit.
10:16And once something goes,
10:18it's gone forever.
10:20No reprieve.
10:22It's gone.
10:24Sounds like hell.
10:28But I'm not sure why you want to...
10:30Tomorrow I could wake up and find out
10:32that this hand's gone the same way.
10:34There'll be a day when
10:36I won't be able to speak properly.
10:38I won't be able to eat.
10:40And finally,
10:42chances are
10:44I won't even be able to breathe
10:46for myself.
10:48It's a...
10:51unbelievably cruel disease.
10:55I can't bear to think what it's like
10:57for my loved ones.
10:59Billy, somewhat.
11:01Me mam, Gemma.
11:03Even soft lad over there.
11:07Watching me die a day at a time.
11:09I don't want to sit in this chair,
11:11helpless,
11:13waiting while
11:15every part of me gives up the ghost.
11:17Look, if there is anything I can do...
11:19I was kind of hoping you might say that.
11:21Mate, don't do this.
11:23No, go on.
11:25Can I ask that you hear me out?
11:27Don't just say no straight away.
11:29Paul, when it gets unbearable,
11:31I need to know
11:33I've got a way out.
11:35Can I ask you to get me something?
11:39Not drugs.
11:43I don't do that stuff anymore.
11:45No, no, but...
11:47you must have contacts.
11:51I'm sorry, Paul.
11:53I can't.
11:56You're my only hope.
11:58Please, just...
12:00just think about it.
12:02Please.
12:06Look at it. I was just rooting around some old photos
12:08and look at this one.
12:10Wow.
12:12Yeah, you were about
12:14two minutes old there.
12:17Slightly older, obviously.
12:19Barged me out of the way so you could come out first.
12:21Typical.
12:23It's hard to believe you're going to be 19
12:25in a few days' time.
12:27Our time flies, my little honey bun.
12:29Yep.
12:31Excuse me.
12:33Can I have a cuddle, please?
12:40Listen, why don't we just have a little shindig here?
12:42Something small and exclusive,
12:44just you and me, boy one,
12:46I don't know.
12:48It's a nice thought, but...
12:50Jelly!
12:52I remember
12:54when you first had jelly and ice cream,
12:56honey, your little face, it just kind of, like, lit up.
12:58Yeah, well, I'm not free.
13:00Yeah.
13:02The only way that I'm eating jelly is if it's got vodka in it.
13:04Oh, well, let's see what we can do about that, miss.
13:08To be honest,
13:10I fancy something a bit more
13:12sophisticated.
13:15Miss Elva, sophistication is my middle name.
13:17Oui, I shall prepare for you
13:19the finest petit fours
13:21and ta-ta-tan
13:23and coq au vin and dac l'orange, oui or non?
13:25Speak to Hardy.
13:27See what he says.
13:29Cordon bleu.
13:33There must be
13:35something someone could do.
13:37I mean, I don't know, like,
13:39go to that place in Switzerland or whatever.
13:41Yeah, I thought of that.
13:43It'd cost a bomb. You wouldn't believe.
13:47Anyway, um,
13:49I want to be here, at home,
13:51name my people,
13:53win my things.
13:55I'm sorry, Paul.
13:57OK.
13:59I thought you'd probably say no,
14:01but I had to ask.
14:07And I know I'm being selfish.
14:09I mean, I suppose you can't help yourself
14:11around drugs, can you?
14:13I'm scared you'd fall off the wagon.
14:15It's not that.
14:17You don't have to explain yourself, right?
14:19I've already said to him it's too much to ask.
14:21It's just that, um...
14:25I know what it's like to lose a son.
14:29And Bernie, she slops her smile on a mush,
14:31but she's drowning.
14:33Of course she is.
14:35This is her worst nightmare.
14:37For her, that day,
14:40when you die,
14:42it's coming way too soon, anyway.
14:44I couldn't
14:46help make it happen sooner.
14:48I just couldn't do that to her.
14:52If there was
14:54any way...
14:56I know. You'll keep Storm out, yeah?
14:58You won't tell anyone about this?
15:00Of course, yeah.
15:02I'm sorry for asking.
15:04No, no, don't apologise.
15:06No-one would blame you for trying.
15:10DOOR OPENS
15:12DOOR CLOSES
15:14DOOR CLOSES
15:16Had a productive morning, then?
15:18It can get a bit boring,
15:20studying on your own.
15:22Should've got Isla to come round with the blues and twos.
15:24Seriously?
15:26We doing this again?
15:28Sorry. I am.
15:30Anyway...
15:32I have been thinking
15:34about your birthday.
15:36Yeah?
15:38Yeah.
15:40Could do.
15:42Can you rein in your enthusiasm, please?
15:44You're a bit over the top.
15:46Sorry. It's a good idea,
15:48but, um... Don't tell me.
15:50I already made plans.
15:52It's my dad.
15:54He's got his heart set on having a family do.
15:56Right. It's been a nightmare,
15:58to be honest. I would say no,
16:00but I think he's just
16:02feeling a bit lost at the minute.
16:04Like Bernie.
16:06I get it. Don't worry.
16:08We'll still have a good day.
16:10DOOR OPENS
16:12DOOR CLOSES
16:14DOOR OPENS
16:16Sorry I was a while.
16:18I'll crack on with some work now.
16:20How's she, er... How's she getting on?
16:22Yeah, good. A bit anxious.
16:24Scared of putting her foot wrong.
16:26Well, she needs to ease up on herself. We all make mistakes.
16:28You never cease to amaze me.
16:30Well, I am pretty amazing, it's true.
16:32Well, she drops you right in it
16:34and you forgive her. You put yourself out
16:36to help her out because, you know, that's what she needs.
16:38Even if you have doubts,
16:40you come through.
16:42Oh, you're back.
16:44Actually, I'm off out again. There's a
16:46local break down I've got to sort out, so I'll see you
16:48when I see you.
16:50I'll, er... I'll tell you what.
16:52Why don't I get us a frothy coffee?
16:54And if you play your cards right, a bit of cake.
16:56DOOR OPENS
16:58DOOR CLOSES
17:00DOOR OPENS
17:02Can I have a word, please?
17:04Don't tell me I'm in the doghouse again.
17:06SIGHS
17:08Look, I don't want my dad
17:10getting mixed up in any of your schemes.
17:12Look, you've got absolutely nothing to worry about.
17:14Scout's on her. I mean it.
17:16OK, if you put any pressure on him,
17:18it'll make him stress and anything... Message received and understood,
17:20boss. Strictly business.
17:22No messing.
17:24He's very vulnerable at the moment.
17:26Yeah, vulnerable, how? I mean, you've been dropping him.
17:28So has he. But if I'm going to be working with him...
17:32He's...addicted to gambling.
17:34OK?
17:36And he's trying his best to resist temptation,
17:38but these days it's everywhere.
17:42Look, you said you want to change your ways.
17:46Now you've got a real chance, Damon.
17:48So don't mess it up.
17:58Oh, come on, Ed.
18:02Here she is.
18:04Crawled out the woodwork again.
18:08Have you got it?
18:10Typical you. Straight to the point.
18:12Politeness costs nothing, you know.
18:14Cut the crap and hand it over.
18:20You don't want them messing with this stuff.
18:22Only the big boys can handle the Benzos.
18:24This is a one-off. You won't be hearing from me again.
18:26That's what they all say.
18:28I'll see you next time, sweet cheeks.
18:32Bye.
18:56Go!
18:58Ever work for MI5, will you?
19:00You followed me all the way from the precinct.
19:02No, I didn't.
19:04Boo!
19:06I knew you were all talk.
19:08If I see you around here again,
19:10you'll know about it.
19:12If my Cerberus was alive, you'll be sorry.
19:16Oh, you took your time.
19:18Got to see me, Ruth.
19:20Kev, I'm sorry to do this to you,
19:22but do you promise you won't shoot the messenger?
19:24What now?
19:26You know that breakdown that Abi's gone to?
19:28Yes.
19:30It doesn't exist.
19:32If you're stirring the pot...
19:34Look, I was manning the phones and there was not a single call
19:36about a breakdown.
19:38So? People know her. They go to her direct.
19:40I followed her.
19:42You did what?
19:44Oh, look, I'm sorry, Kev. I just...
19:46I just knew there was something wrong. I could sense it.
19:48And?
19:50And she met a bloke called Dean
19:52and she did a drug deal.
19:54You're on very thin ice, Cassie.
19:56I've got evidence.
19:58Look, it might be a perfectly innocent explanation,
20:00but I don't think so.
20:02I want to see.
20:04I'm sorry, Kev.
20:06You do need to see this,
20:08cos if she is using again,
20:10she's not fit to be around Jack and Alfie.
20:16I do get it, you know.
20:18Now that you've
20:20spelled it out in glorious detail.
20:22But then again,
20:24I am glad that Abi turned you down.
20:26Life's precious.
20:30How can you say that?
20:32It just proves that you don't get it.
20:34I mean, for someone who's supposed to be bright,
20:36you're as thick as...
20:44Hello?
20:46Abi?
20:48Again? Can't stay awake, can you?
20:50Do you think she's changed her mind?
20:52I really hope not.
21:06Benzos.
21:08Don't take them all
21:10unless you are absolutely 100% sure,
21:12because...
21:14cos once they're in you, there'll be no turning back.
21:16Yeah, thanks, but no.
21:18He didn't want them to change his mind.
21:20Thank you so much.
21:22You've no idea.
21:26Erm, we won't tell anyone.
21:30This is the most amazing thing anyone's ever done for me.
21:34I really hope you don't need them for a long time.
21:36I really do.
21:48Now what?
21:52This is ridiculous.
21:54I didn't even go to the bog in case I come back
21:56and you checked out.
21:58Look, I promise I won't go today.
22:00But if I've got to do it myself, I...
22:04It'll have to be sooner rather than later.
22:18MUSIC PLAYS
22:24Must have been some job.
22:26What was the problem?
22:28Mount Major.
22:30Some traffic coming back and then heading to the cafe and got talking.
22:32So, why didn't you answer your phone?
22:34Well, I never heard it go.
22:36I'll have to change that ringtone.
22:38Katy Perry, she might have a pair of lungs on her,
22:40but once she's stuffed in my pocket, I can't hear a thing.
22:42So, nothing you want to tell us?
22:44Well, not unless you want to hear about Royce Carnes.
22:46Look, if you've got something to say, spit it out.
22:48OK.
22:50I want your gun. Now.
22:52You what?
22:54Pack up the stuff you need for tonight and go.
22:56Alfie stays with me.
22:58We'll sort out contact arrangements later.
23:00Kev, what the hell's going on?
23:02I know you've been buying smack!
23:04Oh, it's...
23:06It's not what you think.
23:08It never is.
23:10Keep your soft soap and I'll stick with Swarfega.
23:12That way, one of us stays clean.
23:17Sooner rather than later.
23:19What's that supposed to mean?
23:21Exactly what it says.
23:24Look, this thing does what it wants, when it wants,
23:26and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
23:28Nothing.
23:30Well, almost nothing.
23:32Look, you'd just be giving it an easy win.
23:34Easy? Do you think there's anything easy about this?
23:36All right, sorry. Bad choice of words.
23:38But...
23:40You don't need this. Not now.
23:42You're still the same bloke you always were.
23:44Look at me!
23:47All right, I still have some good days, yeah,
23:49but this hand could pack up completely any time now.
23:52Tomorrow!
23:54Then I won't be able to use these.
23:56I'd be stuck.
23:59If you really think that, then...
24:01soon.
24:03It means soon.
24:09Screaming, but making no sound.
24:11You are no winner.
24:14Yeah, the...
24:16The jailer's coming down the corridor, mate.
24:19I can hear him jangling his keys,
24:21and one of them's got my name on it, ready to lock me down.
24:23I can't let that happen.
24:25You need to slow down and take a breath, all right?
24:27This is moving way too fast.
24:29No-one knows that better than me, pal.
24:35Hey.
24:40Everything all right?
24:42Everything OK?
24:44Yeah, yeah, fine, yeah.
24:46Right.
24:48Felt like a vicar in a white hole fast.
24:50Pitching up at the wrong moment.
24:53Yeah, it was my fault. I was, erm...
24:55I was being a bit of a mard.
24:57Sorry, mate.
25:01A personal touch.
25:03That's what I'm talking about,
25:05and you won't get that in frescoes, no.
25:07So when someone like, say, er...
25:09Brian Packham walks in there,
25:11you know what I see?
25:13I see a tin pie.
25:15I see instant mashed potatoes.
25:17I see mushy little peas.
25:19What a weird way of looking at people.
25:21And it don't matter if he's coming here for a pint of milk
25:23or a punnet of strawberries,
25:25because by the time I'm done with a man,
25:27he's going home with a pie and mash combo,
25:29and that, my son, is service.
25:31Yeah, the coronary heart disease.
25:33Yeah, and I don't lecture people either.
25:35No sirry.
25:38Can we not talk shop? I'm shattered.
25:40Yeah, you are looking a little rough.
25:42Are you eating OK?
25:44Better than tin pies, instant mash and mushy peas.
25:46Steady are they.
25:48Right, a cup of coffee to soothe out my boy.
25:50Hey, help me, dog, can I get you a drink?
25:52Er, no, thanks.
25:54What's he going on about this time?
25:56Oh, Brian's a tin pie on legs, apparently.
25:59Random.
26:01Oh, er, did he mention Friday?
26:03Friday?
26:05Yeah, he did, didn't he, Liam?
26:07Seriously?
26:09He'll insist we all wear party hats,
26:11have too much to drink and then start making a speech
26:13you won't be able to finish because he's tearing up.
26:15He'll be well cringed.
26:17Look, he's just missing Bernie, OK,
26:19and he can't go and play golf,
26:21because of Darren.
26:23Is that a guilt trip?
26:25Yes.
26:27All right, fine.
26:29How about an after-party at mine, so I can feel 19 instead of 9?
26:31Sounds good.
26:33Er, I actually popped in
26:35to let you know that Friday is on.
26:37Sounds good.
26:39Really? Fabulous.
26:41High five.
26:43Listen, I'm going to lay on an absolute feast
26:45and not a Brian Packham in sight.
26:47OK, bye.
26:49Good luck.
26:51Good.
26:53So, I was up St Christopher's,
26:55cos I was helping out Reverend Mike's
26:57and he wanted me seen to be, like, skiving on me last day.
26:59Some of his old ears.
27:01He really put bizarre into bizarre.
27:03Bless him.
27:05I did try and tell him that was not much call
27:07for a VHS box set of Bergerac and an egg slice, but...
27:09PHONE BUZZES
27:11Hello?
27:13Yeah?
27:15Yeah, come on up.
27:17Who is it?
27:19It's Kevin Webster.
27:21Hey, come on in.
27:23What can we do for you, Kev?
27:25Sorry to disturb you, but I had no option.
27:27Go on.
27:29Go on.
27:31I know you're in a bad spot, but I can't have this.
27:33Can we do this somewhere else?
27:35No, no, it is fine.
27:37What's... What's going on?
27:39You can't be sending that Vio to buy drugs, mate.
27:41She was an addict.
27:43It's too dangerous for her.
27:45Drugs?
27:47What's he talking about?
27:53I take it my money's sat in a bookmaker's till
27:55all the belly of some fruit machine?
27:57Who told you?
27:59Dee Dee. Why didn't you talk to me?
28:01Not something you advertise.
28:13But your money's in the cash tin.
28:15Seriously?
28:21I stashed it in the scarpet.
28:23Well, you should be proud of yourself.
28:25I'm not so proud.
28:29Why do you think I came back?
28:31If you hadn't come in when you did...
28:33You fought the urge, didn't you?
28:35I mean, that's progress.
28:37You look like a man who needs a pint.
28:39That's assuming you're not some
28:41closet alcoholic as well.
28:43No, gambling's more than enough.
28:47I'm sorry, Kev.
28:49It won't happen again.
28:51Under the circumstances, I'll forgive it.
28:53But however bad things get, it can't happen again.
28:57Right, that's all I come to say.
29:09So I'm guessing these drugs weren't
29:11for recreational use?
29:13I need choices.
29:15Choosing to end your life prematurely
29:17is not a good one.
29:19Tell him, Todd.
29:21I've tried over and over, but I can't get...
29:23Look, I made him promise not to say anything.
29:25Well, that makes it all right.
29:29How could you let him get the means
29:31to kill himself?
29:33He didn't let me do anything. I'm still my old man.
29:37Get out.
29:39I was trying to talk you to...
29:41Just go.
29:51You really shouldn't be
29:53tangling with a man like that.
29:55The fact that he was bulk buying puppy food
29:57is proof that he's
29:59illegally breeding puppies.
30:01But beyond three bags of kibble,
30:03you have no proof that this man
30:05has done anything illegal.
30:07Well, you were the one who first thought there was something dodgy about him.
30:09Pure speculation.
30:11Well-founded, from everything we've seen.
30:13Somebody has to act,
30:15unless, of course, you don't care
30:17about the poor, defenseless little creatures.
30:19I care about them a great deal.
30:21But I care even more
30:23about you.
30:29What I mean is,
30:31I wouldn't want anything
30:33untoward to happen to you.
30:35Because I...
30:37I would feel very guilty.
30:39And very sad.
30:45You are not thinking straight.
30:47I mean, you've just said
30:49as much to Kevin.
30:51You don't know what's best for you.
30:53What do you do? I know what isn't.
30:57I can't make you do this.
30:59I will tell
31:01the police, if necessary.
31:05You wouldn't?
31:07I would.
31:09A sin of omission is a sin
31:11all the same.
31:13If I let you do this, I'm complicit.
31:15It's my life, given to you
31:17as a gift from God.
31:19Yeah, well, tell him thanks and everything,
31:21but...
31:23it's broken, so I'm binning it.
31:27You don't understand.
31:31The first tenet of my beliefs
31:33is that God created life,
31:35and as such, it's sacred.
31:37Well, you've been pretty flexible
31:39about overstuffing the Bible when it suited you.
31:41Weren't so long ago
31:43we got married in a church.
31:45It's not the same.
31:47It's exactly the same!
31:49It's religion colliding with reality
31:51and the choices that forces you to make.
31:55Let me make mine.
31:57I'm sorry.
31:59I can't.
32:03You need to hand over the drugs.
32:11Stop it!
32:13Tell me where they are!
32:15Just stop it!
32:17Tell me where they are!
32:19You can't do this.
32:21Gemma and Summer live here.
32:23What are they going to say?
32:25What is more shocking?
32:27Finding the flat in a bit of a state
32:29or you lying dead in your wheelchair?
32:31It's going to happen one day.
32:33So why hurry it along?
32:35They'll be back any minute.
32:37Summer is at her mate's for the night
32:39and Gemma is on a night shift.
32:41So it's just you and me and the drugs.
32:45You won't find them.
32:47Why not?
32:49Have you got them?
32:51No.
32:53You always were a terrible liar.
32:55Right, so what are you going to do?
32:57Search me?
32:59If needs be.
33:03All right.
33:05Go ahead. I mean, I can't stop you.
33:07I literally can't stop you.
33:09Because that's what it's like to be me.
33:11To be utterly powerless.
33:15But you're not.
33:17Of course I am.
33:19So go on.
33:21Take the candy from the baby.
33:23Take away the last thing I could do for myself.
33:25The only choice I had left.
33:33Is there anything else I can get you?
33:37Sorry, Roy.
33:39You want to close up?
33:41No rush.
33:43You seem troubled.
33:45No change there.
33:47Can I be of any help?
33:49It's all right, Roy. I've got this.
33:51I'm sorry, love.
33:53I shouldn't have gone off on them.
33:55I shouldn't have done what I did.
33:57Well, it's...
33:59It's hard to refuse a dying man.
34:01Even if he's asking you
34:03to do something stupid.
34:05I'll leave you two to it.
34:07Oh, no, no. There's no need.
34:09The one person around here who won't gossip...
34:13Paul...
34:15Paul asked me to buy drugs for him.
34:17Not to get off his face.
34:19He wanted them so he could.
34:21I understand. And so do I.
34:23But you can't be around drugs.
34:27I just hope I did the right thing by getting them for him.
34:29I'm not sure there are
34:31any right or wrong
34:33answers in this situation.
34:35One just hopes that the question
34:37never arises.
34:39I've got
34:41a question for you, mind.
34:43Yeah?
34:45How do you know I went to buy drugs?
34:47Cassie told me.
34:49She followed you.
34:51Followed her?
34:53She thought you might do something daft.
34:55Thought you were doing the
34:57dealing. Showed me the
34:59photo she took.
35:01The photo?
35:03Wow.
35:05We friends like that, eh?
35:07Absolutely.
35:09I just
35:11don't understand why you'd want to cut short
35:13the time that we've got left together.
35:17Because
35:19we won't be together for most of it.
35:23I'll be buried in here.
35:25Might as well be on the other side of a wall.
35:27I'll know
35:29you're there.
35:33I can still hold your hand.
35:37But I won't be able to
35:39hold yours back.
35:41I'll tell you that I love you.
35:43You will.
35:45The machine's fantastic.
35:47It's not my voice.
35:51I know it sounds that way, but
35:53it's still a machine.
35:57You think I'm selfish?
36:01But is it keeping me here
36:03against my will, being selfish and all?
36:05Especially if
36:07you reckon I'm going to a better place?
36:09Don't.
36:11I'm not being sarcastic.
36:13You say
36:15that me choosing to die
36:17is against your beliefs, but
36:19if I'm going to paradise,
36:21won't I be better off?
36:23So much better
36:25so much better
36:27than some half-life down here
36:31where all I can do
36:33is tarnish
36:35people's memory of me.
36:39That's not true.
36:41It is.
36:45I don't want to be a pile of ruined flesh
36:47in a chair.
36:51Please
36:53let me go while there's still
36:55something left of me.
36:57Please.
37:01Everything OK?
37:03Well, I've had another dust-up
37:05with that horrible man.
37:07Well, in my experience, that doesn't
37:09narrow it down. Terry.
37:11Has he been
37:13harassing you? Yeah.
37:15Yeah, he caught me while I was following him.
37:17Well, why would you do that?
37:19He bought a ton of puppy food.
37:21He's breeding dogs.
37:23Illegally, definitely.
37:25Well, go to the police. Yeah, well,
37:27I would, gladly, but
37:29as Roy says, a few bags of
37:31puppy formula is not a smoking gun.
37:33No, no.
37:35I need more proof.
37:37Then we best get some, hadn't we?
37:39We?
37:41Totally. He's threatened me
37:43mother, battered me son, and now
37:45he's mistreating puppies.
37:47If anyone had a coming to him, it's him.
37:51I'm sorry.
37:53You know,
37:55I need to be able to say
37:57enough is enough.
37:59And the only way I can guarantee that
38:01is by ending things
38:03while I still can.
38:05I don't want you to do it at all.
38:09But even if I could accept it,
38:11it could be weeks,
38:13months,
38:15until you can't use your hand.
38:17Or it could be any day now.
38:19Todd was the only person
38:21I could have asked for help.
38:23Now he said no.
38:25So I have to do it myself.
38:27And I have to do it soon.
38:31I won't let the practicalities
38:33force you into doing something
38:35before you're ready.
38:37And you're not.
38:41No?
38:45I don't want to go.
38:47I don't want to go.
38:49But I've got no alternative.
38:53So please,
38:55please just don't make this any harder
38:57than it already is.
39:09I won't.
39:11I won't.
39:15I'll make it easy.
39:21If the time comes
39:23when you really want to end things,
39:31I'll help you.
39:33Ty's still on his laptop to fizz.
39:35I don't know how long he's going to be.
39:37It's you I came to speak to.
39:39I heard about the photograph
39:41that you showed Kevin.
39:43Oh, yeah?
39:45Abby has had a turbulent life.
39:47She's finally found a safe harbour.
39:49It would be
39:51an enormous pity
39:53if anything were to go awry.
39:55Well, it has.
39:57She's fallen off the wagon
39:59and I can't turn a blind eye to that.
40:01For her sake as much as Kevin's.
40:03She has not relapsed.
40:05She was obtaining the drugs for a third party.
40:07She might have said that, but...
40:09It is true.
40:11Kevin has confirmed this with the person concerned.
40:13Who was it?
40:15That doesn't matter.
40:17The point is
40:19Abby was acting
40:21from the best of motives.
40:23Can you say the same?
40:25Course.
40:27No disrespect, Roy,
40:29but you don't know what addiction's like.
40:31And I told Kev because he was the only one
40:33who could have got through to her.
40:35I'm relieved. It was a big misunderstanding.
40:37Yeah, well, there have been
40:39a lot of those recently, haven't there?
40:41Scratch on the car.
40:43Yeah, I know. I should have held my hands
40:45up to that one.
40:47I've made mistakes, Roy.
40:49But none of them have been malicious.
40:51I just...
40:53I don't want to be on my own again.
40:55That's understandable.
40:57And neither does Abby.
40:59So please,
41:01proceed with a great deal more caution
41:03where she and Kevin are concerned.
41:11I don't think I've ever felt
41:13more loved in my entire life.
41:15Oh, because
41:17I'm willing to end it?
41:19That's an odd logic.
41:23Because you could even entertain it.
41:27But I can't do that to you.
41:29I can't do that to you.
41:31But you could leave without saying goodbye.
41:35There's still so much to do
41:37and say.
41:39You'll grieve, yeah.
41:41But you won't tear yourself
41:43apart like you would
41:45if you gave me those tablets.
41:49Let me worry about my conscience.
41:53It goes against everything you believe in.
41:55You said yourself.
41:57Ultimately, I
41:59believe in a forgiving God.
42:03I'll hash that out with him
42:05when the time comes.
42:09You'll know why I did what I did.
42:11You'll know what's
42:13in my heart.
42:15Even if I could accept that,
42:19there's no guarantee
42:21that you could do it
42:23when the time comes.
42:25I promise you.
42:29I can't take that risk.
42:51And if I swore on this,
42:55I mean,
42:57God
42:59might forgive me a...
43:01a merciful act, but
43:03breaking an oath
43:05in his name,
43:09an act of bad faith,
43:13that might be harder to explain away.
43:19I swear
43:21by almighty
43:23and merciful
43:25God
43:27that I will not allow you to suffer
43:29against your will.
43:33That I will
43:35deliver you
43:37into his
43:39loving embrace
43:43at time of your choosing.
43:47Is that good enough?
43:57I love you so much.
43:59I love you too.
