It's only temporary -

0:00:030:00:05

a stepping stone.

0:00:050:00:06

We've been unlucky...

0:00:060:00:08

You'll always be my girl.

0:00:080:00:09

AIR RAID SIREN WAILS

0:00:090:00:11

I thought you were on duty.

0:00:130:00:15

Enforced break.

0:00:150:00:16

After 24 hours it's mandatory.

0:00:160:00:18

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:00:180:00:21

I saw you with me own two eyes.

0:00:220:00:24

I don't want you touching me ever again.

0:00:240:00:26

I met some smashing people, Ethel.

0:00:260:00:29

I think you'll like them.

0:00:290:00:31

You're very pretty.

0:00:310:00:32

Reg was telling me he trained to be a doctor.

0:00:320:00:35

SHE CHUCKLES

0:00:350:00:37

I saw the way you looked at her, Reg.

0:00:370:00:39

She's not one of the ones you pay for.

0:00:390:00:40

You keep a wide berth or I'll...

0:00:400:00:42

I'll ring his bloody neck.

0:00:420:00:44

I haven't seen her since the last time you were here.

0:00:450:00:48

She said something about coming to see you.

0:00:480:00:50

That looks like Muriel's coat.

0:00:500:00:52

It's mine.

0:00:520:00:54

Is she pretty, Reg?

0:00:570:00:59

Hard to say from this angle.

0:00:590:01:01

Well, you keep your bloody hands to yourself.

0:01:010:01:03

This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:01:100:01:16

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:01:240:01:26

Oh, you're back again, are you?

0:01:280:01:30

Yes, Mr Christie. We are.

0:01:300:01:32

Check in here. Check the next room. Two men round there.

0:01:550:01:57

And check the cellar.

0:01:570:01:59

HE SHRIEKS

0:02:060:02:08

Guv, round here.

0:02:220:02:24

-Whoo!

-Woo!

0:03:030:03:06

THEY LAUGH

0:03:060:03:08

# My Bonnie lies over the ocean... #

0:03:080:03:11

Careful!

0:03:110:03:12

# My Bonnie lies over the sea... #

0:03:120:03:14

See how thin these walls are, Beryl?

0:03:140:03:16

I'll need to see about that.

0:03:160:03:18

What are you doing?

0:03:180:03:20

We don't want all and sundry knowing our business, do we?

0:03:200:03:23

Oh, and what've we got to hide?

0:03:230:03:25

It's a good job we won't be here long.

0:03:250:03:27

Tim. Tim!

0:03:330:03:35

What?!

0:03:350:03:37

What?

0:03:380:03:41

What've we got here, then?

0:03:430:03:45

Two careful owners, just a few miles on the clock...

0:03:450:03:49

Bodywork's in need of a bit of polish...

0:03:490:03:52

Mm.

0:03:520:03:53

Full service, was it?

0:03:530:03:55

THEY LAUGH

0:03:570:03:58

Come here.

0:03:580:04:00

Tim. Tim Evans.

0:04:050:04:07

Windsor.

0:04:090:04:11

Windsor?

0:04:110:04:13

Well, last time I was up Windsor was a job for the castle.

0:04:130:04:16

They see the van, mistake me for a groundsman.

0:04:160:04:18

The next thing, they're on about

0:04:180:04:20

a bulge in the turf that's interfering with the King's croquet.

0:04:200:04:22

So, I went over, flattened it with the sole of my shoe.

0:04:220:04:25

-He was so pleased, he gave me his ball. And his bat.

-Mallet.

0:04:250:04:29

-You what?

-You play croquet with a mallet, Tim.

0:04:300:04:33

Get a move on, Evans.

0:04:360:04:38

-All right, Adler.

-I'm all right.

0:04:380:04:40

LABOURED FOOTSTEPS

0:04:500:04:52

CHRISTIE PANTS

0:04:540:04:57

Er, are you after something?

0:04:570:04:59

Just thought I'd go over a few house rules.

0:04:590:05:02

Reginald Christie.

0:05:020:05:04

Been on the ground floor for ten years now.

0:05:040:05:07

-I'm Beryl.

-Oh...

0:05:070:05:09

Good evening, Mrs...?

0:05:090:05:11

Evans. We're not long married, Mr Christie.

0:05:110:05:15

Could do with some privacy.

0:05:150:05:16

Oh, you'll have no concerns on that front.

0:05:160:05:18

I was in the police force, decorated, in fact.

0:05:180:05:22

Left due to injuries sustained in the Great War.

0:05:220:05:25

I was a doctor on the front.

0:05:250:05:27

A doctor?

0:05:270:05:28

My uncle's a doctor.

0:05:290:05:31

Yeah, travels the world, he does - healing the sick,

0:05:310:05:33

stitching up heads, princes and all sorts.

0:05:330:05:36

What's his name?

0:05:360:05:37

Oh, it's a big world, I doubt you'd know 'im.

0:05:390:05:42

Er...so...

0:05:450:05:47

Oh, er...

0:05:500:05:53

It's a bit on the small side, isn't it?

0:05:530:05:56

The print, I mean.

0:05:560:05:57

I'll summarise, if I may. "Visitors should be kept to a minimum.

0:05:590:06:04

"None after ten o'clock of the evening...

0:06:040:06:07

"Use of the lavatory is restricted to seven in the morning

0:06:070:06:11

"till ten at night...

0:06:110:06:13

"Unfortunately, there'll be no use of the back yard..."

0:06:130:06:16

No use at all?

0:06:160:06:18

Exclusive domain of the ground-floor flat, I'm afraid.

0:06:180:06:21

Well, we're on the list for a new-build, Mr Christie.

0:06:210:06:25

Inside WC.

0:06:250:06:27

Oh, that's a touch unhygienic for me, I'm afraid.

0:06:270:06:30

Well, we'll not be here long.

0:06:300:06:32

Well, rules are rules - the length of tenure is irrelevant.

0:06:320:06:36

Well, thanks ever so much, Mr Christie.

0:06:360:06:39

We've never had a place on our own,

0:06:390:06:40

so it'll be nice to know you're keeping an eye out.

0:06:400:06:42

-Won't it, Tim?

-Yeah, I suppose so.

0:06:420:06:45

You'll have no trouble from us, Mr Christie, I promise.

0:06:450:06:48

Mrs Christie?

0:06:550:06:57

Tim.

0:06:570:06:59

Can you listen out for Geraldine? Beryl's not back yet.

0:06:590:07:02

Has she been fed? Only, I've got Mr Christie's tea to make.

0:07:020:07:05

Yeah. She'll be off in no time.

0:07:050:07:07

-Tim?

-Mm?

0:07:070:07:08

It's Friday, Tim.

0:07:080:07:10

Is it?

0:07:100:07:12

The rent man.

0:07:120:07:13

Tell him I'll see him next week.

0:07:140:07:16

Reg told him that last week.

0:07:160:07:18

And he says you're a month in arrears...

0:07:180:07:20

I'll sort it, Mrs Christie, don't worry, yeah.

0:07:200:07:22

-Right...

-See you.

0:07:220:07:24

'Billy's Dance is 50-1 - the rank outsider - and your

0:07:460:07:50

'Dad's got his wages on him.

0:07:500:07:53

'Now it's the second-to-last lap.

0:07:530:07:55

'The rider slips his stirrup. Billy stumbles.

0:07:550:07:59

'But he keeps coming, hoofing the hard ground - '

0:07:590:08:01

squeezing past at the finish to take the race.

0:08:010:08:04

The crowd go wild!

0:08:040:08:06

I go wild.

0:08:080:08:09

I swear to God, as he crosses the line, that horse looks up at me

0:08:100:08:15

and...smiles.

0:08:150:08:17

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:08:170:08:19

Just like you. Well, then, let's get you to bed.

0:08:190:08:24

There we go. Stay there.

0:08:270:08:29

BABY GURGLES

0:08:290:08:31

Hiya. Where the hell have you been?

0:08:310:08:33

Come on, what you waiting for?

0:08:350:08:38

SHE GIGGLES

0:08:380:08:40

Where have you been? Oh...

0:08:400:08:43

It wasn't my fault, it was the girls.

0:08:430:08:45

The girls? Which girls?

0:08:450:08:47

KNOCKING

0:08:470:08:49

Evening.

0:08:490:08:50

He never lets me out. Not since I've had the baby.

0:08:500:08:53

Did you follow me home, Mr Christie?

0:08:570:08:59

No, no, no, I was just on my way back, as it happens.

0:08:590:09:03

BABY CRIES

0:09:030:09:04

Beryl...?

0:09:040:09:06

Tim, I was wondering if we could have a little talk?

0:09:060:09:09

Do you want to go and see to Geraldine?

0:09:110:09:14

Go on, she's been waiting all night for you. That's it.

0:09:160:09:20

Come on. That's it.

0:09:200:09:22

There's no easy way to say this, Tim...

0:09:270:09:31

Well, say it quick cos I need to get to bed.

0:09:310:09:34

It's... probably not as bad as it looks.

0:09:340:09:36

What do you mean?

0:09:380:09:39

Your Beryl.

0:09:390:09:42

She was seen, Tim.

0:09:420:09:44

If you're worried, I could ask

0:09:480:09:49

Mrs Christie to have a little word with her...

0:09:490:09:53

She knows what it means to be a wife, Tim.

0:09:530:09:55

Yeah, well, thanks, Mr Christie. That'd be nice of her.

0:09:570:10:01

Goodnight, Tim.

0:10:030:10:05

If I catch you out with another bloke...

0:10:210:10:23

I already told you, it wasn't me.

0:10:230:10:25

What do I need ANOTHER bloke for?

0:10:250:10:27

I don't want you going out with that Lucy Endecott again.

0:10:270:10:30

She's clever - Lucy.

0:10:300:10:31

Clever?

0:10:310:10:33

Yeah. She doesn't rush into things...

0:10:330:10:35

Beryl...

0:10:350:10:37

Beryl. You've got responsibilities now.

0:10:370:10:40

BABY GURGLES

0:10:400:10:42

Where you going?

0:10:420:10:44

Who was it said they saw me?

0:10:440:10:45

SHE CHUCKLES

0:10:480:10:49

And your uncle's isn't a doctor - he works down the garage.

0:10:490:10:53

Beryl!

0:10:560:10:58

Morning, Beryl.

0:10:580:10:59

Sorry about the noise last night, Mrs Christie.

0:10:590:11:02

That's all right, love, I thought you were

0:11:020:11:03

a burglar, coming in at that hour.

0:11:030:11:05

DOOR CLOSES

0:11:110:11:13

I just wanted to say thanks. To you and Mr Christie.

0:11:130:11:16

It's no bother, she's a sweet baby.

0:11:160:11:19

No, no, I mean about Beryl.

0:11:190:11:21

Beryl?

0:11:210:11:22

Yeah, Mr Christie said you'd talk some sense into her.

0:11:220:11:25

How's the patient this morning? Sore head?

0:11:260:11:30

Tim was just telling me about Beryl.

0:11:300:11:32

Oh.

0:11:320:11:33

If it's no bother, Mrs Christie...?

0:11:330:11:35

No, it's no bother.

0:11:350:11:37

We'll have her match-fit in no time. Won't we, Ethel?.

0:11:370:11:40

> See you upstairs, Ted.

0:11:590:12:01

About bloody time.

0:12:060:12:08

Sorry, boss.

0:12:090:12:10

Well, you're here now. Paddington Basin.

0:12:100:12:13

Just as I've shown you.

0:12:170:12:19

Beryl. Mrs Christie.

0:12:250:12:27

What's...? Who's put that there?

0:12:390:12:42

Ah, Tim. I've replaced it, so...

0:12:470:12:51

On loan, as it were.

0:12:510:12:52

Well, thanks, Mr Christie. That's kind of you.

0:12:540:12:57

And your lights went out,

0:12:570:12:58

so I popped a couple of shillings in the meter.

0:12:580:13:00

-Well, I haven't got anything..

-No. No...

0:13:000:13:03

As and when you can.

0:13:030:13:05

All right, Mum?

0:13:310:13:33

What are you after?

0:13:360:13:39

What?

0:13:390:13:40

Couple o' bob. It's the baby.

0:13:430:13:46

You know what she's like, she doesn't stop eating.

0:13:460:13:50

It's just till the weekend.

0:13:510:13:53

It is the weekend.

0:13:530:13:54

It's Beryl, Mum.

0:13:580:14:00

I give her five pound a week and she still can't make ends meet...

0:14:000:14:02

She got a new pair of shoes just the other day!

0:14:020:14:05

She's had it hard, your Beryl...

0:14:050:14:07

No mother, no schooling, no church.

0:14:070:14:10

She's doing a fine job, all things considered.

0:14:100:14:13

Well, you're not married to her.

0:14:130:14:14

And you're not having another penny off me

0:14:140:14:16

till you stop bad-mouthing her.

0:14:160:14:18

All right.

0:14:230:14:25

See you.

0:14:270:14:28

BABY CRIES

0:15:090:15:11

What's going on?

0:15:120:15:14

What?

0:15:150:15:17

I'm not having any more?

0:15:190:15:21

Any more?

0:15:210:15:23

How long have you known?

0:15:260:15:28

BABY BAWLS

0:15:290:15:32

Doesn't matter, I'm not keeping it.

0:15:320:15:34

Why didn't you tell me?

0:15:340:15:36

What's wrong with you? We're married.

0:15:470:15:49

It's what married people do.

0:15:490:15:51

You think you're too good for this, don't you?

0:15:520:15:54

You think you're too good for me.

0:15:540:15:56

What is it you want, Beryl?

0:15:570:15:59

You waiting for something special or what?

0:16:000:16:03

You get rid of it, you'll have rid of me.

0:16:040:16:07

All right, then...

0:16:100:16:12

WOMAN COOS TO BABY

0:17:000:17:02

Yes! Oh, here he is.

0:17:030:17:05

Not for much longer.

0:17:050:17:07

New job! De Havilland's, isn't it?

0:17:070:17:10

That's right.

0:17:100:17:11

First thing Monday, I'm on a plane to Europe.

0:17:110:17:13

Europe? Whereabouts in Europe?

0:17:130:17:15

They weren't specific.

0:17:160:17:18

Hadn't you better find out?

0:17:180:17:20

DOOR BANGS

0:17:260:17:29

I tell you what, it's over.

0:17:290:17:31

We're finished - and I'll tell you something - it's the best day

0:17:310:17:34

of my life.

0:17:340:17:35

There's a girl at work who's caught my eye.

0:17:350:17:38

18. Stunner, know what I mean?

0:17:390:17:42

'A real looker, you know.

0:17:420:17:44

'But here's the bit I never would've guessed - you see, her dad

0:17:440:17:47

'owns the company, so she's, you know,

0:17:470:17:50

'what she is, she's one of those...'

0:17:500:17:53

Go on, son, top it up. Go on, son.

0:17:530:17:56

'That's it!'

0:17:560:17:58

What does he look like?

0:18:370:18:39

LAUGHTER

0:18:390:18:41

Oh, yeah.

0:18:480:18:50

-Tim....

-Left the baby, have you?

0:18:500:18:51

-Mrs Christie's looking after her.

-Where have you been, who've you been out with?

0:18:510:18:55

-Just Lucy.

-Just Lucy! Come here, I'll give you a good bloody hiding!

0:18:550:18:57

-Get off me!

-Come here!

-Get off me! You're a liar, Tim Evans.

0:18:570:19:00

You've got no job with de Havilland's - I spoke to them

0:19:000:19:04

this morning - they've never even heard of you!

0:19:040:19:06

Yeah? Who told you that? Come here. Where you going to go?

0:19:060:19:09

-Come here.

-You're a liar.

0:19:090:19:11

-You're a liar. Admit it!

-Shut up. Shut Up!

0:19:110:19:14

Lies and make-believe. And you wonder why I don't want another one?

0:19:140:19:18

Shut up! One more word... One more word...

0:19:180:19:20

Come on. That's enough!

0:19:200:19:23

It's that brother of yours. Accusing me about that bloody watch.

0:19:230:19:26

His own brother-in-law. That's why I can't get a better job.

0:19:260:19:29

You deserve everything you got.

0:19:290:19:31

GLASS SHATTERS

0:19:340:19:35

BABY CRIES

0:19:350:19:37

I'm sorry.

0:19:420:19:43

Why do you feel you have to lie, Tim?

0:19:490:19:52

The job - just admit you made it up.

0:19:530:19:56

All right.

0:19:590:20:01

I haven't got a job with de Havilland's.

0:20:020:20:05

It's...

0:20:050:20:07

It's all stories.

0:20:070:20:10

All of it.

0:20:100:20:11

Are you happy?

0:20:150:20:16

Don't go.

0:20:180:20:20

It'll be all right, Tim.

0:20:540:20:56

I'm not a bad 'un, am I, Mr Christie?

0:21:100:21:12

-No.

-Well, that's what she thinks!

0:21:120:21:15

No, no.

0:21:170:21:20

Women need to be handled with care, Tim.

0:21:230:21:26

Whenever Mrs Christie isn't feeling herself,

0:21:290:21:32

I find that

0:21:320:21:34

a small act of kindness does the trick.

0:21:340:21:37

You'll be all right, Tim. You'll be all right.

0:21:430:21:46

Cup of tea?

0:21:500:21:52

You come in when you're ready.

0:22:000:22:02

-Oh.

-Tim.

0:22:400:22:41

I've been informed that the builders will be starting work on the front

0:22:410:22:45

of the house today.

0:22:450:22:48

I thought you should know.

0:22:480:22:50

Oh, thanks, Mr Christie.

0:22:500:22:52

And, er, I suggest that you keep your valuables under lock and key.

0:22:530:22:58

Mr Christie...?

0:22:580:22:59

That's nice, it's, er, it's new, is it?

0:23:010:23:04

Yeah, belongs to a friend. Keeping it for his aunt.

0:23:040:23:08

Is that right?

0:23:080:23:10

Fit for a king, isn't it, Beryl?

0:23:230:23:25

It's very nice.

0:23:260:23:27

Second one's easier, love, trust me.

0:23:280:23:31

Oh, look at that.

0:23:320:23:34

Be careful you don't scratch it!

0:23:420:23:44

I'll keep an eye.

0:23:440:23:46

I'd be a surgeon now -

0:24:010:24:02

if it wasn't for the war...

0:24:020:24:04

Oh, yeah.

0:24:040:24:06

Is, er, is everything all right, Mr Christie?

0:24:060:24:09

I'll come right to the point, Tim...

0:24:090:24:12

Ethel and I are worried.

0:24:140:24:16

About what?

0:24:160:24:17

Your Beryl.

0:24:170:24:20

She's intent on getting rid of the baby.

0:24:200:24:23

The method that she's entertaining, it-it, it won't work.

0:24:230:24:27

There might be consequences.

0:24:290:24:31

What are you talking about?

0:24:310:24:33

The establishment that she means to visit, off Praed Street, it's...

0:24:330:24:38

(You don't want her going down there, Tim.)

0:24:380:24:41

In my policing days I witnessed some terrible scenes down there.

0:24:420:24:48

Oh, but she's having it... The baby.

0:24:480:24:50

She's having it, Mr Christie.

0:24:500:24:51

Women know their own minds, Tim, and their bodies.

0:24:510:24:55

If your Beryl wants to wait a few years, perhaps it's for the best.

0:24:570:25:01

Now...

0:25:050:25:07

I have helped couples in...

0:25:070:25:11

similar situations...Tim.

0:25:110:25:16

What is it?

0:25:160:25:17

It's all about the human body.

0:25:180:25:20

Male and female.

0:25:210:25:23

What does it say?

0:25:250:25:26

It's very technical.

0:25:260:25:28

The thing is, Tim, I'm worried about what she might do to herself...

0:25:310:25:36

I mean, think of Geraldine.

0:25:370:25:39

Geraldine? Oh, she'll not do anything to Geraldine.

0:25:390:25:42

Well, if you do come to a meeting of minds, my method is very safe.

0:25:420:25:47

W-What is this...method...?

0:25:510:25:55

Well, the laws of medical confidentiality prohibit

0:25:570:26:01

me from going into details, Tim.

0:26:010:26:03

Suffice to say, that not every Tom, Dick and Harry

0:26:030:26:06

can be made privy to the procedure,

0:26:060:26:08

for obvious reasons. You do trust me, don't you, Tim?

0:26:080:26:13

Yeah, of course, of course I do, Mr Christie, yeah...

0:26:130:26:16

Well, it's the lesser of two evils.

0:26:160:26:18

You can't knowingly...

0:26:200:26:24

bring an unwanted child into the world, Tim.

0:26:240:26:27

You said, it's, um, very safe...?

0:26:290:26:33

Well...

0:26:350:26:36

It's not without risk, Tim... I must say.

0:26:380:26:43

You don't have to decide now.

0:26:460:26:48

I do and I have - goodnight, Mr Christie.

0:26:540:26:59

Goodnight.

0:27:040:27:05

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:27:110:27:14

I need to go back to work, Tim.

0:27:330:27:34

Work?

0:27:360:27:37

You know, Mr Christie says...

0:27:390:27:41

I know what Mr Christie says.

0:27:410:27:43

HE FILLS KETTLE

0:27:450:27:47

Then what are you so worried about?

0:27:470:27:50

What's wrong with you? Why don't you want it?

0:27:510:27:54

He's trained as a doctor, Tim. I trust him.

0:27:590:28:01

We can wait a bit.

0:28:030:28:04

Save some money.

0:28:080:28:09

Do it properly next time.

0:28:090:28:10

Maybe even wait for the new house?

0:28:150:28:17

You've just got to tell Mr Christie - "Everything's all right."

0:28:210:28:25

RATTLE SHAKES QUIETLY

0:29:120:29:14

Don't forget to tell Mr Christie.

0:29:200:29:22

Morning, Tim.

0:29:360:29:38

Everything's all right.

0:29:440:29:45

Oh...Tim...

0:31:080:31:11

Bad news, I'm afraid.

0:31:150:31:17

What, about Beryl?

0:31:200:31:22

Mm.

0:31:230:31:26

I'm very sorry.

0:31:260:31:28

You go on up... I'll be just behind you.

0:31:310:31:35

I put her in with the baby.

What's the blood from, Mr Christie?

0:33:260:33:28

How long has she been lying here?

0:33:340:33:36

About three o'clock...Tim.

0:33:460:33:50

There was nothing I could do. Her stomach was septic.

0:33:550:33:59

Another day, she'd... She'd've been in the hospital.

0:33:590:34:02

What did you do to her?

0:34:040:34:06

Nothing unorthodox, Tim. The same method any doctor would apply.

0:34:070:34:12

Just what you asked for.

0:34:140:34:16

Here, you, you leave everything to me.

0:34:220:34:24

I'll iron everything out.

0:34:280:34:30

Come on.

0:34:350:34:36

Now, as hard as it is to contemplate, Tim...

0:34:380:34:44

..we must dispose of the body.

0:34:460:34:48

I can dispose of her...down the drain.

0:34:550:34:59

The drain...?

0:34:590:35:01

Sit down, Tim.

0:35:010:35:02

Otherwise, the-the police will, will have to be involved.

0:35:060:35:10

Well, I didn't do nothing.

0:35:100:35:12

Oh, yes, but they don't know that, do they?

0:35:120:35:16

I mean... Think of how it'll look to them...

0:35:160:35:19

You've been rowing with Beryl a lot lately.

0:35:190:35:22

Likely as not, they'll jump to the wrong conclusion.

0:35:220:35:25

They'll think you killed her. You could hang for this.

0:35:270:35:30

Hang?

0:35:320:35:33

TIM GASPS AND SNIFFLES

0:35:390:35:40

Well, I-I I'd better take the baby to Mum's.

0:35:400:35:43

No, no, no, no, no, no.

0:35:430:35:45

No, no. That'll just attract attention, you see.

0:35:450:35:48

If anyone asks, just say...

0:35:520:35:54

..Beryl's gone away.

0:35:570:35:58

Wh-what about Geraldine? Will...Mrs Christie watch her?

0:35:590:36:04

No.

0:36:040:36:05

No. No.

0:36:050:36:07

She's got work, Tim. Same as you.

0:36:090:36:12

I tell you what, I do know of a very nice couple in Acton

0:36:150:36:19

who've not managed to have a baby of their own.

0:36:190:36:21

I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to look after her.

0:36:230:36:26

I'll, I'll feed her today,

0:36:320:36:34

and then I'll pop round and...

0:36:340:36:36

..see what they say.

0:36:370:36:39

How's that sound?

0:36:390:36:41

Thanks, Mr Christie.

0:36:450:36:47

-Thanks.

-Dear, oh, dear.

0:36:480:36:50

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:37:580:38:05

I promise to come and see you soon,

0:38:060:38:09

as soon as I get everything ironed out.

0:38:090:38:11

Might even take you to the races.

Oh.

I thought you should have these, Tim.

0:38:530:38:55

You get set up properly.

0:39:060:39:08

You can send for the baby.

If anyone comes round asking questions, they'll know to trust me.

They're a lovely couple. Lovely couple, Tim.

We've had a letter...

0:43:540:43:55

From your mother.

0:43:580:44:00

Oh, yeah. What does she have to say for herself?

0:44:000:44:03

"Well, Vi, I don't know what lies Tim have told you down there.

0:44:070:44:11

"I know nothing about him, as I have not seen him for three weeks.

0:44:110:44:15

"And I have not seen Beryl or the baby for a month..."

0:44:150:44:18

Well, that's a load of rubbish, innit?

0:44:180:44:20

"His name stinks up here, everywhere I go - people asking for him

0:44:200:44:24

"for money he owes them, I am ashamed to say he's my son..."

0:44:240:44:28

And Beryl's dad's not seen them neither.

0:44:280:44:31

The truth is...

0:44:370:44:39

The truth is Beryl... She left me and the baby.

0:44:410:44:44

Went off with another man.

0:44:460:44:48

-Your Beryl?

-Yeah.

0:44:480:44:50

Well, what about the baby?

0:44:510:44:53

I-I took her to some good Welsh people I know in London.

0:44:560:44:59

-Oh, come on!

-Oh!

0:44:590:45:01

Newport folk who couldn't have a baby of their own.

0:45:010:45:03

I-I gave them some money, so she'd be fine for a while.

0:45:030:45:06

Why didn't you just take her to your mother's? Hmm?

0:45:060:45:08

Because she's too busy with work, isn't she?

0:45:080:45:10

Why didn't you bring the baby to me?

0:45:100:45:12

Well, I didn't think about that, Aunt Vi, did I?!

You've been telling us lies all this time.

No. I haven't, I haven't, I swear. I swear to you.

'my wife, Beryl Susan Evans...'

0:47:420:47:45

..told me she was expecting a baby...

0:47:470:47:49

She then said she was going to get rid of it.

0:47:530:47:56

She started...syringing herself

0:47:580:48:01

and taking tablets and....

0:48:010:48:03

She was making herself ill.

0:48:030:48:06

I told her she was being silly.

0:48:060:48:09

I said, "What difference will one more make?" You know?

0:48:090:48:12

A few days later, I was stopped at a transport cafe,

0:48:150:48:18

somewhere between Ipswich and Colchester, I can't really

0:48:180:48:21

remember where exactly, but...

0:48:210:48:24

And I got talking to a stranger.

0:48:240:48:26

He saw I was in a state and asked why?

0:48:280:48:30

I explained.

0:48:320:48:33

And he gave me a bottle wrapped in brown paper.

0:48:350:48:37

He said it would do the trick.

0:48:370:48:40

Beryl found it in my pocket, while she was looking for a cigarette.

0:48:400:48:44

I told her what it was and not to take it.

0:48:450:48:49

When I got home that night, all the lights were out.

0:48:510:48:55

She was just...

..laying there on the bed, not moving.

Um...

0:49:270:49:30

I, er, then...

0:49:300:49:32

I then waited till about one in the morning...

0:49:340:49:37

..and I took

0:49:380:49:39

her down the stairs and out the front door.

0:49:390:49:42

Then disposed of her down the drain.

0:49:440:49:46

It took three officers to lift the lid of the manhole

a man in a cafe and disposing of my wife's body.

0:51:150:51:18

All the rest is true.

0:51:190:51:20

John Christie lives on the ground floor.

0:51:240:51:27

He said he could get rid of the baby without no risk.

0:51:270:51:30

-DOOR KNOCKS

-That's what he said.

0:51:300:51:32

Can you, um, can you get a message to my mum?

0:51:400:51:42

Ask her to, to go and see Christie and get the address in Acton

0:51:440:51:48

where the baby is staying. Tell her to go and see her.

0:51:480:51:51

KNOCKING

0:51:520:51:54

I-I need you to get the address.

0:52:260:52:28

W-Where the baby's staying, so then we can pick her up and...

0:52:280:52:31

And you can...

0:52:310:52:32

And you'd understand.

0:52:320:52:34

Mr Evans...

0:52:370:52:38

They found the bodies.

0:52:440:52:45

Your wife...

0:52:470:52:48

..and your daughter.

0:52:510:52:52

No, no.

0:53:080:53:09

That's impossible.

I know you're a liar. You strangled Beryl.

0:54:240:54:27

You strangled her with a piece of rope from your van.

0:54:320:54:35

No.

0:54:350:54:36

-You strangled your wife!

-And then what happened?

0:54:360:54:39

-Tell me what you did.

-What happened?

0:54:400:54:43

What did you do?

0:54:430:54:44

# My Bonnie lies over the ocean

0:54:480:54:52

# Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me

0:54:530:54:57

# Bring back Bring back

0:55:010:55:05

# Bring back my Bonnie to me

0:55:060:55:09

# Bring back Oh, bring back

0:55:130:55:17

# Bring back my Bonnie to me. #

0:55:180:55:22

Come on, Tim. You strangled her.

0:55:250:55:28

You strangled her with a...?

0:55:300:55:33

With...

0:55:330:55:35

Come on, Tim.

0:55:360:55:37

With a piece of rope from my van.

0:55:380:55:41

And then what happened, eh?

0:55:430:55:45

What? You waited till the Christies had gone to bed, and then...?

0:55:480:55:52

Then...

0:55:570:56:00

I took her... I took her down the stairs and to the wash house.

0:56:260:56:28

Oh, Tim... what have you done?

0:56:300:56:34

I never done it, Mum.

0:56:360:56:37

Christie done it.

0:56:390:56:40

I promise.

0:56:420:56:43

Tell Christie I want to see him.

0:56:550:56:57

He's the only one who can help me now.

0:56:570:56:59

I went to see him last night.

0:57:010:57:03

-Yeah?

-He wouldn't let me in.

0:57:030:57:06

-Why?

-He got the police on me.

0:57:060:57:08

This way, Mr Christie.

0:57:120:57:14

MR CHRISTIE!

0:57:150:57:17

MR CHRISTIE!

0:57:170:57:18

No. He knows. I need to speak to him.

0:57:200:57:22

Sit yourself down.

0:57:220:57:24

I need to see him. He knows, he knows.

0:57:240:57:27

He's the one who knows. I need to speak to him.

0:57:270:57:29

Tim!

0:57:290:57:31

Christie's the one saying you done it.

0:57:310:57:34

We'll be as quick as we can, Mr Christie.

0:57:390:57:43

Glad to hear it.

0:57:430:57:44

I do solemnly declare that the evidence I shall give

0:57:510:57:54

shall be the truth,

0:57:540:57:56

the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me, God.

0:57:560:57:59

Mr Christie, you are, are you not, a man of good character?

0:57:590:58:03

I'm unfit to testify, Dr Odess.

0:58:030:58:05

Mr Christie -

0:58:050:58:06

you would really need to be gravely ill.

0:58:060:58:08

She was fine when I left her.

0:58:080:58:10

Before you know it, he was saying I killed her.

0:58:100:58:12

You come back later, you can have a coat or two, if you like.

0:58:120:58:15

Thanks, Mr Christie.

0:58:150:58:17

You're invisible down here. Creeping out at night.

0:58:170:58:19

Well, I won't keep

0:58:190:58:21

your dirty secrets a day longer, do you hear me?

0:58:210:58:23

You need to lie down, Ethel.

0:58:230:58:25

Mr Timothy Evans' sole line of defence

0:58:250:58:27

rests on attacking you...

0:58:270:58:28

..a perfectly innocent man.
