0:00:32 > 0:00:35Can I help?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'm David. Your new neighbour.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48I'm here to see Miss Parsons.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- What's the name?- Ian Rickman.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Yes, THAT Ian Rickman.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Do you have an appointment? - Yes. Just tell her I'm here.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03Thank you for this. Not much of a welcome to the neighbourhood.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05It's fine. We're nearly done.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09I'll be late for surgery. I'm a nurse.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Better make sure you wash your hands before you treat any patients!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16I'll be washing them in bleach after this lot.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- Where do you work? I'm new to the area. - I work at the Mill Health Centre.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I ought to get myself registered. I might look you up.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Where have you moved from? - Preston.- Nice.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Shame your boyfriend wasn't here to help you.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36My fiance... He's going to be back this evening.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40You're getting married? Very nice. Who's the lucky man?
0:01:40 > 0:01:47Jimmi. He's a doctor. He's Welsh. He's lovely.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55I better be going and cleaning up. Got patients waiting. I owe you one.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I'm sure you'll find a way to make it up to me.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06PHONE BLEEPS
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Mrs Chapman.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Thank you for your help. With the Mill's support, the event will be a great success.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'm happy to help. It's a good cause.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25If any of your staff want to volunteer or have questions,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- do feel free to give them my number. - Thanks.- Goodbye.- Bye.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Julia?- Mm-hm. - Ian Rickman, what does he want?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38He's organising a charity event. Lots of local surgeries are getting involved.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I'll send a memo round, see if any of our lot want to volunteer on the night.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Do you know who he is?- Yes. - And you trust him?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50He's asked me to be on the finance committee, so he won't get anywhere near the money we raise.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- What's the event in aid of? - Early-onset Alzheimer's.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57You've got to stop him.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Lauren, it'll be fine. - No, it won't!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Look. If you want to talk about this later, fine.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06But this isn't the time or the place.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Julia...- You shouldn't leave the desk unattended.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Lauren!
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- He can't be allowed to do this.- He's just trying to help some charity.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28He's a conman. He may have got away with it, but everyone knows what he is.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm not judging somebody because of tabloid rumours.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Vulnerable people need that money. What if he steals it? He's clever. He'll find a way.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39What is the matter with you? I've never seen you like this before.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48My grandmother suffered from it. Alzheimer's. She was only 55.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53It destroyed my grandfather's life as well. Please, Julia.
0:03:53 > 0:04:00If we helped this man and it went wrong, I couldn't bear it.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I'm very sorry. I didn't know.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07This project is going to go ahead whether we like it or not.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Wouldn't it be better if we were involved?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- That way, we could keep an eye on things.- Let me help then.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Hmm?- I want to volunteer. I'll be your assistant.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I'll have to think about that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25I'll get back to work. Sorry. It's just something I really care about.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34PHONE RINGS
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Hello...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44OK, if it's just a quick vaccination. Send him in.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hi, it's Lauren Porter from the Mill.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Didn't expect to see you so soon.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17It was meeting you that reminded me...
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I'm about to go abroad and I forgot to get my vaccinations done.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Where are you going?- Africa.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Big country.- Madagascar.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Ah. I loved the film.- Huh?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35You'll need to have Typhoid, Hepatitis A,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39and speak to a doctor about anti-malarials. When are you going?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Once I've settled into the new house.- So you've not got anything booked?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46No. I'm a spur of the moment man.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49The hepatitis takes a couple of weeks before it can take effect.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I guess I'll just have to hang around for a fortnight then.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Which is good. Gives me a chance to get to know my new neighbours better.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Julia sent me.- I see.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12I'm going to be her assistant. I was in the area, so thought I'd come and introduce myself.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- I'm Lauren.- Ian.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I know.- You'd better come inside.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I think we got off on the wrong foot earlier. I'm sorry if I was short with you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It can get tiring having strangers mistrust me on sight.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Can we start over? I don't blame you for being suspicious of me.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44For some reason, it's never the decent people who have protesters outside their house.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49That man outside is an unfortunate consequence of events beyond my control.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Oh, I see. What's his name?- Eh?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55The man outside. What's his name?
0:06:55 > 0:07:00There's several of them. They posted my address on the internet.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06- They take it in turns, sitting there and trying to embarrass me. - How are they doing?- Pretty well.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Look, this gala is very important to me.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I don't want any bad feeling amongst the people helping out.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, please, just give me a chance. Can you do that?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- I'll try.- In which case, I'm glad to welcome you to the team.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Perhaps you'd like to meet my wife while you're here? - Is she involved as well?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Surely Julia explained?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I'll introduce you.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Maybe then, you'll understand why this project is so important to me.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44Don't worry. I've been accused of many things in the press, but being a serial killer isn't one of them.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Thanks for fitting me in at such short notice.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I was late, so I needed to make up the time.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Sorry, is this your lunch break? Let me buy you a sandwich.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- No, thank you. - As a thank you for staying behind.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I've got to get on. You can pull your sleeve down.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Hey, how is it working with your fiance?- Sorry?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You said he was a doctor. Presumably, he works here an' all?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17No, he doesn't. He works somewhere else. Somewhere far from here.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20But you still live together. That's nice.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I've got to get on.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27OK. Well, I will catch you later.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You've got a visitor.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44This is Lauren.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- It's best to try and behave normally. - Hello, Heather.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's all right, love.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Some days are better than others.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Lauren wants to help out with the show.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Do you remember me telling you about it? The show in the theatre with singers and dancers,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- like you used to love.- Be quiet!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16We'll go in the other room. It'll be easier to talk in there.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Does she remember you? - Some of the time.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The shame is that it's better when she can't.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I don't want her remembering her husband as a man hounded by the press,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29spat at by strangers in the street.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Her forgetting, in a terrible way, it's a blessing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36For you, or for her?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Heather is my purpose in life now. She's all that matters.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13You look great.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Do you buy all your mistresses flowers?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46To us.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49This feels wrong.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53You could always leave.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I know it's too late for Heather, but maybe one day in the future,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04other couples won't have to go through this. That's why I'm doing it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I want to believe you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- She was young. It was awful. - I'm very sorry to hear that.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17If I thought the money was going to anyone other than to the people that need it...
0:11:17 > 0:11:22That won't happen. I'm just organising the show. Calling in favours. Getting the ball rolling.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Every penny of the money raised is going to go towards research
0:11:26 > 0:11:31and care for people who don't have the resources that Heather and I do.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I've seen that look so many times before.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Distrust. And all because of something I didn't do.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I just need people to give me a chance.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- You've nothing to hide?- No.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- So prove it.- How?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- That's the maddest thing I've ever heard.- I mean it!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Compulsory meditation in schools?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Young people don't know how to live in the moment any more.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58They want life at a hundred miles an hour.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03They bring energy drinks to school in their lunchbox and then their parents come to me
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and insist there's a medical reason why they can't concentrate.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I just think that if everyone was more mindful...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- There'd be no more wars and everyone would be happy all the time?- Yes!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16No. I don't know. I just think it's important.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I'm the full new-age package. The door's over there.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27I'm not going anywhere. I love your spirit. You're so vibrant. Alive.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I guess your wife's more conventional then?
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- Let's not talk about her. - I don't see how we can talk about anything else.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Everything I say, you'll be comparing us.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Am I sexier, funnier, more intelligent?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- I just wanted to have lunch with you.- I'm right though, aren't I?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53This is not some cheap affair.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I've told you, things are finished between Fiona and I.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04I know this game. I understand the rules.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Maybe I don't want to play.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11This is not some game I'm playing with you.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I just need a chance to prove that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- This is Martin Richards. - Hello, Martin.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Would you like a drink?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Five months, I've been sat outside your house.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42This is the first time you've acknowledged I exist.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Mr Rickman is organising a charity concert.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- Why am I here?- I want to believe that he's doing it for the best of reasons,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54that everything I've read about him is wrong.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00I want to see him look you in the eye and tell you that what happened wasn't his fault.
0:14:00 > 0:14:06That it was all a terrible mistake and he's trying to make up for it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11For our own reasons, that's something we both need to hear.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I didn't know what was going on with my executives.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I wasn't aware that the structure of my company was unsustainable.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24I wasn't involved in the running of the investment department and had no knowledge
0:14:24 > 0:14:27of the illegal activities some staff were engaged in.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32I've heard that speech before. You said it in court.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- That's not what I want to hear. - What do you want?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- I want you to say sorry. - I won't admit responsibility for something I didn't do.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44I had a wife. A beautiful wife.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48We invested all our savings in your company.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Every single penny we'd worked to save, gone overnight.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57When I lost my job, I told Claire we'd be all right. We had savings.
0:14:57 > 0:15:03Then we got the letters from the receivers. And now Claire's gone.
0:15:03 > 0:15:10You took everything that mattered to me, and somehow, you still live in this big house
0:15:10 > 0:15:14and you don't even have the decency to say sorry.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18What's going on? Who are you? What are you doing in my house?!
0:15:18 > 0:15:23It's all right, love. It's just Lauren. You remember Lauren? You met her in the other room.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Who are you? What are you doing in my house?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28He's a...friend. Aren't you?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Friend? Whose friend? He's not my friend.- Why don't we go back in the other room?
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- Who is he? What's he doing in my house?- It's OK, it's all OK.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Thanks. My turn. - No, I insist.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- What?- Use cash.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58No paper trail for your wife to find.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I knew it was a waste of time.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- So why do you sit outside here every day?- I've nowhere else to be.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22She's settled.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26If you're still talking to me.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Can I use your loo?- Of course.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Very kind of you to walk me home.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Nobody feels safe walking home in the middle of the afternoon(!)
0:17:14 > 0:17:19I should warn you, I haven't got any coffee in the house, so I can't offer you any.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25- Caffeine's bad for you. - Shame. You know, I could murder a cup of camomile.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Find anything incriminating? Where did you look? My study?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- What did you think you'd find in five minutes? - You're a businessman.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Surely, you know the importance of seizing the opportunity. What do you keep in the safe?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- My, you were thorough. - What do you keep in it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Private things.- Like?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Owning a safe is not a crime.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's just something that people with a lot of money tend to have.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03I want the Mill to help get this project off the ground. I've bent over backwards to prove myself.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I think I've been exceptionally tolerant. And how do you repay me?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10You try to humiliate me and you sneak around my house like a thief!
0:18:10 > 0:18:15- This illness is something I feel very passionate about. - Then we do have something in common.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19So I forgive you for nosing where you shouldn't.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I never said sorry.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- 'Get away from me! - Don't go any further.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- 'It's not safe! - Let me go!'
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- Get away from me!- Don't go any further! It's not safe!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Don't touch me!- Thank you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Why did you let her wander out alone? It's not safe!
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- She must have figured out the gates.- What would have happened if I hadn't been here?- This way, love.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I help you, now you walk away from me again!
0:18:47 > 0:18:52After all the respect you showed for my family, I should have left her to wander off into the road!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Be quiet! Where's your humanity? This woman is ill.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Whatever he did, it's not her fault!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I didn't think you'd actually drink the tea.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Nice house.- Surprised you haven't asked for a tour of the bedrooms yet.- Stop it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Whoa!
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- It's what we're here for, isn't it? - I'm here for you.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I know how this works.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Not with me. This time, it'll be different.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- How are you finding it? - Our affair?
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- No! Our book.- Oh. Everyone's raving about it,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49but personally, I can't see what all the fuss is about.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57I'm trying to figure out if you're a very fast or a very slow reader.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- What do you mean?- Your bookmark is right near the beginning.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Either you read a page a day, or you've read it
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and gone back to the beginning.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12I was thinking I might find something I missed first time around.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Ah. Hidden depths?- Yes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Figured you'd need a drink.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- It's all right. - She's watching TV again.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Will it always be this hard?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Thank you. Outside, just now...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00That's the first time someone's stood up for me in a long time.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Your wife shouldn't suffer because of your mistakes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Sometimes, I wonder how much longer we can live like this.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- I don't think you have much choice. - There's always a choice.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14What do you mean?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You can trust me.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22There's a cocktail of drugs in the safe.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I paid someone to bring them over from Switzerland.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29They're illegal here, but it's what they use in the clinics there.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- To end things?- Yes. Painlessly.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35There's enough for two.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40People cope with illness. They find a way.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Why should we spend the rest of our lives suffering?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I know you're hurting because of what's happened to Heather,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51but that doesn't excuse you from the mistakes you've made.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55What's happened to her is terrible, but it's not your fault.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01The man sitting outside, alone in the street...he is, isn't he?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Where are you going?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Sorry.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'm sorry for what I did to you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10"Drake looked between the amulet and the girl he loved,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13"knowing he could save only one.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- "There was no choice. It had to be...the scarlet amulet."- Yes!
0:23:19 > 0:23:23This is the first lesson they teach you in archaeology school.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Go on.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I said sorry to him.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Are you OK?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45SIRENS WAIL He phoned the police!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I did the decent thing and he betrayed me!
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- He can't prove what I said to him. - How does it feel?- What?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Getting a taste of your own medicine.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05- I tried to help him! - People trusted you and you lied to them. You cheated them.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I don't mind so much about losing my savings.
0:24:08 > 0:24:15Well...no, I do, but it's not what really stings.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20It's that you fooled me, and nobody does that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26- YOU phoned the police? - Your wife's going to get the care she deserves from now on.
0:24:26 > 0:24:33- What do you mean?- You tore the heart out of so many families.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Now, I'm going to take something important from you. How do you think the police will react
0:24:38 > 0:24:41when they find an illegal cocktail of drugs in your safe?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Won't think you're the ideal carer now, will they?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48They can't be too careful with vulnerable patients.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Need to make sure they're safe.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55You took the chain off the door. You opened the gates.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57She could have been killed! BANG ON DOOR
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- 'It's the police. Open up!' - More proof that you're not capable of caring for her.
0:25:01 > 0:25:08- I trusted you. - That was a mistake. How does it feel? The humiliation.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Someone pulling the wool over your eyes.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- BANGING ON DOOR - 'Mr Rickman? We know you're there.'
0:25:19 > 0:25:21He's in the study, destroying the evidence.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Shall we go upstairs?
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Lauren, thought you might like to know that we won't be helping out Ian Rickman after all.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- What do you mean?- A friend of mine at the police station called. He's been arrested again.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Your instincts were right. - Some people, you just can't trust.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Just as well you didn't have to spend any time with him.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11- I don't know how you'd have felt.- What?- Because of your grandmother.- Oh. Yes.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34We must stop meeting like this.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I just need to ask you a few questions about the neighbourhood.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43What's wrong? Aren't we friends?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Do you need a hand with that? We need to talk.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54SHE SCREAMS
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Cherry?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Are you in?
