0:00:28 > 0:00:30Hmmm. That looks yummy.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33I heard the first blackbird this morning.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Spring's nearly here.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm glad you're feeling better about things.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40I haven't changed my mind.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Dad, look. You've got so much better...

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Please can we not talk about this now?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Why do you still want to do this? You're happy. You said it yourself.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'm happy because I know there's a way out.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57In the meantime, every moment spent with you two is precious.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Anyway, I've decided to start a bucket list.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01You know, things to do, places to go. You can help me.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04I'm going to work.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Chris? Chris!

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Your blood pressure's fine, Mr Harcourt.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13See? You are well enough to be questioned.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Doc, are you busy? I could do with some help.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- What with?- Nailing our friend Mr Harcourt once and for all.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Can't you see what you're doing to Chris?

0:01:29 > 0:01:30You have no right...

0:01:32 > 0:01:35..and you are not going to get him to accept it by rubbing his face in it.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38I don't want to hurt either of you.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Well, you are.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44If you were terminally ill, then we could cope with that.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49We could try and make things easier for you,

0:01:49 > 0:01:52make the most of the time we have together.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55But you're not.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57You are choosing to leave us.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01How are we supposed to be happy about that?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I just don't want to live my life like this.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10If I could make it easier for both of you, I would.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I have to go.- Em!

0:02:14 > 0:02:15I love you.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18I always have.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22And I think I've given you a lot.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27More than I've given you.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38I'm just asking you...

0:02:38 > 0:02:39to do this...

0:02:39 > 0:02:40for me.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Please.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53This is the sixth time we've questioned Harcourt about a rape.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Every time, he's got away with it.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59His latest victim's terrified. She's on the point of dropping it.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04We've got 12 hours. Then we have to charge him or release him. And he knows it.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06I don't see how I can help.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Well, I've had an interesting tip-off. Bloke called Stuart Tansley.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14He says that Harcourt raped his sister ten years ago.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15She wouldn't go to the police,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18but she gave Stuart the clothes she'd been wearing

0:03:18 > 0:03:20and he's still got them.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Physical evidence of another rape is exactly what we need.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- But?- Stuart's a hoarder.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31His whole house is full of junk

0:03:31 > 0:03:34and he gets very nervous if people start moving it.

0:03:34 > 0:03:39So to get this evidence, I need someone to hold his hand,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- reassure him. - I reckon it'll take more than me.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Please, I'm desperate or I wouldn't ask.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49OK. I'll talk to him. But I can't promise anything.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Cheers. You're a star.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm asking you to consider this, not only from a financial standpoint,

0:03:54 > 0:03:59- but from a personal one... - First sign of madness, talking to yourself.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Have you got a minute?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- For what?- I've got a presentation at the meeting.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I'd like to see how it works. - Oh, go on then.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09It's on PowerPoint.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11It was working earlier.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Get Kevin. He's gadget boy.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'll get him.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20BEEPING

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Stuart. This is Dr Jimmi Clay. He's the police surgeon.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30And Dr Clay, this is Stuart Tansley.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Are you absolutely sure the bag we're looking for is in this room?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39One carrier bag in all this... It's a bit of a needle in a haystack.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Don't worry. I know exactly where it is.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44I even know what it looks like.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Um, sorry, can I get you something to drink? Some biscuits maybe?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51I don't really get visitors.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Let's make a start.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56You said you'd do a bit of clearing.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I have. Kind of. It's...

0:04:59 > 0:05:01difficult.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Let's crack on. I reckon we can chuck out most of this.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Or recycle it.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09No, hang on. I didn't say I was going to throw anything away.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12This is worthless. Old supermarket magazines.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13But that's not really the point.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Bin or bonfire, what do you reckon?

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Wait. Put it back. Please, put it back. You can't just...

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm doing you a favour.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24No. No, please! I've changed my mind. Please. Please. Please!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Stu. Stu, it's OK. Calm down. Calm down.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Deep breaths for me. OK. Good. You're doing really well.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Look, we're not going to do anything

0:05:31 > 0:05:33that makes you feel uncomfortable, OK?

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Can you get a water for him?

0:05:36 > 0:05:37I don't like things being moved.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Of course. But if we go slowly...

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Bin or bonfire, that's what she said.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Look, Stuart, I'm sorry. Here. Have this.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Do you know what? This...

0:05:47 > 0:05:51This isn't working. I've changed my mind.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- I should never have got in touch. - No, Stuart, please. Give us a minute.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I need you to go, OK? This is my property

0:05:57 > 0:05:59and I need you to leave, all right? Thank you.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Nice one, boss.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09It keeps freezing. I don't know why.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Have you tried turning it off and on again?- Have you had this problem before?- No. It's brand new.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- It shouldn't.- Excuse me.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Howard, why do you need to make a PowerPoint presentation?

0:06:18 > 0:06:22You have to. Everybody does. Nobody takes you seriously if you just talk.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30What were you trying to do? Give him a nervous breakdown?

0:06:30 > 0:06:34I've tried the softly, softly approach. It didn't work. I'm running out of time.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36So you thought bullying would work better?

0:06:36 > 0:06:40It's not bullying, it's just giving him a kick up the backside.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43And I'm supposed to pick up the pieces when it fails?

0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'm trying to help him. He needs help.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49You haven't seen the rest of the house. Half the rooms are like that.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52He can't get into some of them. How can anyone live like that?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54You think I can give him some sort of instant therapy?

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Well, I was hoping. - It doesn't work like that. Hoarders spend their entire lives

0:06:58 > 0:07:01accumulating junk. It makes them feel safe, like a comfort blanket.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02Some comfort blanket.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04There's no quick fix. It could take years.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07I haven't got years, Doc. I've got today.

0:07:07 > 0:07:0912 hours.

0:07:09 > 0:07:1211, now. What can you do in a day?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15How do you even know he's telling the truth, that he's got evidence?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17What if he's just trying to get attention?

0:07:17 > 0:07:20No. I believe him. He's genuine. He knows things about the rape

0:07:20 > 0:07:21that were never made public.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24I believe him. I think his sister was raped.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Where is she then? Why aren't we talking to her?- She's dead.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29OK.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Right. First, we need to apologise. YOU need to apologise.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Julia wants out?- That's basically what her letter said.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40- It's a big change.- It's logical. She's not involved in the practice any more.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- End of an era.- Who's going to take over her stake?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Well...- Well, we could ask Jimmi. He's got the experience

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- and the wherewithal.- He'd be ideal. Zara would be happy with him too.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I don't think he'd be interested. May I suggest...- After what happened last year though.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, who? Kevin?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I don't think he's experienced enough.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Al? He's older.- Al definitely wouldn't be interested.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03- I've enough trouble with him doing his own paperwork. However... - What about Emma?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Ssh. What you need is somebody who genuinely wants the responsibility.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- None of your doctors do. - What? You're not talking nurses?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- I didn't mean them.- Mrs Tembe?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Me. I meant me.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I'd like to take over Julia's share.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25I asked you to go away.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Stuart, I'm sorry. I didn't understand.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I know this stuff is important to you

0:08:33 > 0:08:37and I shouldn't have asked you to throw it away.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Could we talk? Can we sort out a way of doing this?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I don't want you coming inside. - OK. Well, could we talk out here?

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Stuart, I shouldn't have pressurised you.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Tell us what would work for you.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59If you just give me enough time to go through everything,

0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'll find it eventually.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02How long would that take?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05OK. I've got a suggestion. It's a compromise.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09We need to go through everything out of that room and move it to get to the evidence bag.

0:09:09 > 0:09:14What if we were to move everything, store it somewhere safe?

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Then at the end, if you wanted to, you could throw it away

0:09:17 > 0:09:21or, if you wanted, we could put it all put back for you. How does that sound?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Where would you put my stuff?

0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Outside. There's no room in the house.- What if it rains?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I don't want things getting damaged or damp or lost.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35We could cover it for you with a tarp.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Or an evidence tent. Even better.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Have we got a deal? Yeah?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46How big's the evidence tent?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49I believe I can bring the following to my role as a partner.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50One. Absolute commitment.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53I've worked hard to make this practice the best that it can be.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Two. Finance. I have the money to invest

0:09:57 > 0:09:59and I like to believe that I'm fiscally prudent.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Three. My established and valuable links with local healthcare professionals.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I have a presentation...

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- I don't think we need to hear any more.- No, I'm convinced.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10But all I've given you is an overview, this will really flesh out the details.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Howard. If you want to be partner, we're more than happy.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16You represent continuity, stability. That's what we need.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Don't you want to see my PowerPoint?

0:10:18 > 0:10:21- No, thank you. - Congratulations. You're in.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Right. Thank you. Excellent.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well done. KNOCK AT DOOR

0:10:26 > 0:10:31I thought you might want to celebrate, so I bought some eclairs.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Karen, your timing is impeccable.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35No, I was listening at the door. So you're in?

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Yes, I am.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39See? You don't need a fancy presentation.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40I'll make some coffee.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Mmm! >

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Please be careful with them.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Everything OK?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yeah, fine. I'm...

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Let me help.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- You all right?- Yeah.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Do you want me to do something with a paper bag?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'm fine. It's...

0:11:17 > 0:11:20I just...find that environment really difficult, you know.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Look, I've got to be honest with you.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- I have OCD. Obsessive-compulsive... - I know what it is.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30And I'm claustrophobic. So that place...

0:11:33 > 0:11:36I had heard rumours. You hide it really well.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Is that why you asked me to come here? - I thought you might understand him.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I don't understand, I can't understand.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I like clean and tidy and organised.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46That's just dust and grime and dirt and...

0:11:46 > 0:11:48So you panic if you go in the house

0:11:48 > 0:11:50and Stuart panics if we try and take anything out.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Great(!) I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to come.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57If you want to go, we can manage fine now the lads are here.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58No, I'm staying.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02I know you had a bit of an upset back there.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04So I thought I'd make you some tea.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Thank you, that's really kind of you. Thanks.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11- The cup that cheers.- Yeah.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Here you are. I'm going to go out after work.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Are you going to be there for Dad?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yes.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37What are you looking up?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Just some shopping.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40A party website?

0:12:42 > 0:12:46It's for your dad. He wants a party. He wants to celebrate.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48You're going along with it? I thought you were on my side.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's not about taking sides.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52You know how stubborn he is.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Once he's made his mind up about something, that is it.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59And he has made his mind up about this.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01And you're just going to go along with it?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Do you think this is what I wanted?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06It's bad enough that we're losing him.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12I can't bear it if it means us arguing and fighting him.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14So you're just going to give in.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18No, but he has made a choice.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm trying to support him.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27He can't stand living like this, being totally dependent.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31It's not about what we want.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34It's about what he wants and I am going to help him.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40He has always given me more than I have given him.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44But this is my chance.

0:13:44 > 0:13:50And...if I really love him,

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I can do this.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Help him kill himself.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Help him end his life with dignity.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Your father has never asked for a thing.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06But he is asking for this.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08And I think we owe him.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Please, Chris, think about it.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27We're getting there.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, wow.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35I'd actually forgotten that was there.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Is that really you?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yeah.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42That's me. And that's...

0:14:44 > 0:14:46That's Annie. My sister.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I know you've talked to the DCI about this.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51But if it'd help you to...

0:14:51 > 0:14:54What's there to say? He raped my sister. It destroyed her.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Harcourt had this company... He still does.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I know because I've followed him over the years,

0:15:04 > 0:15:05kept an eye on what he's been up to.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09He employs about 100 people, donates to charity.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Pillar of the community. Chamber of Commerce love him.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Yeah, well. Annie was temping there,

0:15:17 > 0:15:21she'd just graduated. He asked her out.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Wined and dined her.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Behaved like a gentleman, then...

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Annie didn't want to go to the police,

0:15:30 > 0:15:33she didn't think people would believe her.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35She'd been on a date with him, after all.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Doesn't mean it's not rape.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Of course not. But as it turns out, she was right.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45No-one did believe her. No-one except me.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Even Mum and Dad. They...they blamed Annie.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Sadly, that's not uncommon. Families don't want to believe it.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55It was awful, Annie was in a terrible state.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Mum said to her, "You always have worn too much make-up,"

0:15:59 > 0:16:03like it was her fault, like she'd asked for it somehow.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05I didn't know what to say.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07I didn't know how to deal with it.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10She was my sister, I should've protected her.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12And I couldn't.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13What happened?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Annie had a breakdown.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19She tried to kill herself.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22She was drinking heavily.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26I tried to help, I really did, but what can you do?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29You can't watch someone 24/7, you just can't.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33In the end, I had her sectioned.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40She wouldn't forgive me for that. So we fell out, too.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42How did she die?

0:16:42 > 0:16:45I don't know exactly...we lost contact. Completely.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46So I just assumed...

0:16:46 > 0:16:50You're ASSUMING she's dead - you don't know?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54She must be. She left Letherbridge, wouldn't even tell me where she was going.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58The last time we spoke, she said she was going to kill herself. I never heard from her again.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00That doesn't mean she's dead.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04Er...well, no, I guess not.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- I could find out. Would you like me to try?- Er...

0:17:08 > 0:17:09What's her date of birth?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- May 27th, 1980. - Leave it with me.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19What's the point anyway?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Harcourt will get away with it again, he always does.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25I think there is a point, that's why I'm here. Same with the DCI.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30What must you think...this house? All this stuff.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32I don't know how it got so bad.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37I think you've built a prison for yourself.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41But I don't think you're the one who should be in prison.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46I have another matter I'd like to discuss.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50I have a patient who wants to go to the Clemence Clinic

0:17:50 > 0:17:53in Switzerland and end his life.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Is he terminally ill?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56No. He's a paraplegic and he's had a stroke.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00- I wouldn't want to kill myself, in those circumstances. - Neither would I.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02We're not in those circumstances, are we?

0:18:02 > 0:18:05So how can we possibly judge? It's up to him.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07There's an added complication. The patient is Sam.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Emma's husband, Chris's dad.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I had no idea things were that bad.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Well, they're not going to broadcast it, are they?

0:18:13 > 0:18:16They're very private about it. It's a private matter.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Not if two staff members are involved.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21It could have a negative impact on the practice. Publicity wise...

0:18:21 > 0:18:24If it comes to that, I'll handle it.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27I'm just worried it'll have a negative effect on them.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Yes, of course, it must be terrible.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32To be honest, I wish I'd never agreed to be Sam's GP.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I don't really understand suicide.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Well, I do intellectually, of course.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38So how have you handled it?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42I had a talk with him, he's not clinically depressed.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45There's nothing more I can do. I wish there was.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47We all wish that.

0:18:48 > 0:18:53Stick around, Doc, I might need you. Stuart...I've got some news.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Do you want to sit down?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58What is it, what's happened?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00You've had to release him, haven't you?

0:19:00 > 0:19:07No, it's your sister. She's alive. Alive and well.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Er...how did you find her?

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- It's easy. She's on the system. - She has a criminal record?

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Minor offences. Drunk and disorderly, breach of the peace.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20But these days, it seems she's sober.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I've just talked to her.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25I can give you her number.

0:19:27 > 0:19:34Er... Can I... I need to be alone for a minute, please.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35D'you want anything?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Give him a minute, lads.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43HE SOBS

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Listen, we should celebrate Howard becoming a partner.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49I could gather everybody up. Go to the Icon...

0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Maybe another time. - Thank you for the thought, Karen.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Howard, you said I could have the afternoon off. Sam's...

0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Yes, of course.- Thanks. - See you tomorrow.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19It's in here. I've wrapped it in several bags.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21And some plastic.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Good thinking.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25It's what Annie was wearing when...

0:20:26 > 0:20:29I know you're supposed to keep the clothes.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Monica Lewinsky and all that. Forensic evidence.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36And it's slashed up the back. He...

0:20:38 > 0:20:42..he used a knife to cut it off of her.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Same MO as the others.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Will it help?- Yeah. It shows there's a pattern, going back years,

0:20:49 > 0:20:52it shows he's a calculated, serial offender.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55If we can get him into court on more than one charge,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58it's harder for him to pretend it wasn't rape.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00But there's no guarantee?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03No. But I think your sister might be prepared to give a statement.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06She's coming down to the station, anyway.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08And thanks to you, we've got evidence. So you have helped her.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10After all this time, isn't it too late?

0:21:10 > 0:21:11It's never too late.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Right.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18There's the party. The one that your Head of Department threw.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21What was he famous for, his prize-winning garden?

0:21:21 > 0:21:24And you had tequila slammers and you threw up in his rosebushes!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Look, the sexy dress.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Sexy dress, how could I forget that? It looks much better on you.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Chris! Come and look at the photos. Our misspent youth.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Your dad with platinum blonde hair.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41What are you doing?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Reminiscing. Come and join us.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58How do you feel now the room is cleared?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Bit strange. But good, I think.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04OK, decision time.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07What do you want to do with all the stuff we've cleared out?

0:22:07 > 0:22:11Do you want to recycle it, do you want to keep it, bin it?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Why don't we put it back for now?

0:22:17 > 0:22:21I know I need to have a proper clear out.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm just not quite ready yet.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26OK. At least you've seen what the room is like when it's cleared.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'm sure we can organise it better.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33Be a shame to lose that window down the bottom.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Actually, wait.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45I think we can throw this one away.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49It's just dead light bulbs. A few broken umbrellas.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Excellent... Why don't you do the honours?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Sure.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09I might keep the box, though.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Yeah.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Don't mind me. You two carry on.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Actually, there is something you can do for me.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29- What?- You're still in touch with your friends from school, aren't you?

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Mates from uni? I'm having a party. I'd like you to invite them.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34What sort of party?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Just beer and pizza. Nothing elaborate.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40What do I tell them?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43"My dad's having a do to celebrate topping himself, come along, bring a bottle"?

0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Chris. - I just want to have a celebration.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47And it would be a chance to say goodbye.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Maybe they'd like to do the same.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Did you manage to check out that party website, Mum?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54I hope you're getting a cake.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58What greeting are you going to get? "Happy Suicide"?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Don't talk to your mother like that.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03The pair of you can do what you want, but don't expect me to help.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Let him be. Give him chance to calm down.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18You two seem to have really hit it off.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20He's interesting.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Thank you for all your help.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24He's agreed to give a witness statement.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27And he's going to meet his sister.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Stuart's fine if I stay to put the rest of the stuff back.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32On your own? The lads are off duty now.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35I'll get on with it.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38You never know, I might be able to persuade him to chuck another box out.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41You'll be here till midnight!

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Well, I'll crack on.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46Actually, I've agreed to come back at the weekend and give him a hand

0:24:46 > 0:24:47to sort through some of the stuff.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I might be able to get him to see a psychiatrist, get some help...

0:24:50 > 0:24:53You great softie.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55I thought this was a house of horrors for you?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Facing fears is good, isn't it?

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Hey, Annie.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17It's OK.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's OK.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Your dad's having a nap.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29I'm just about to start dinner. Want to give me a hand?

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- I'm going out. - Where?- I'm going to the pub.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Do you really think that's a good idea?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Chris, you've got to stop this.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41You can't keep raging at him, it won't do any good.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44If you really cared about him...

0:25:44 > 0:25:48Don't you dare try and guilt-trip me!

0:25:48 > 0:25:49I hate this as much as you.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52But I'm doing it for his sake.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54So am I!

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Can't you see, if I don't try and stop him,

0:25:57 > 0:25:59change his mind...

0:26:00 > 0:26:02I'm not giving up.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Please, stay.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Eat with us.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Spend some time with your dad,

0:26:12 > 0:26:13while you still can.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23OK.

0:26:41 > 0:26:46PHONE RINGS

0:26:46 > 0:26:50'Hello, this is Emma's voicemail, please leave a message.'

0:27:04 > 0:27:07I will not play second fiddle to that strumpet!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09I can't just leave her in the lurch.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11It doesn't do to be seen with such a person.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15And I didn't know he was married, at least, not until it was too late.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17But you sold your story to the press?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19I should have known better.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21People are always saying at a wake,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24"Old so-and-so would have loved this, shame they can't be here!"

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Well, you can be!

0:27:25 > 0:27:26Em, Em. Em!
