0:01:16 > 0:01:17- Where are you going? - To work.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19No-one's expecting you to open the stall.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- It will do me good to get out of the house.- Pam!
0:01:22 > 0:01:23I don't want to be late!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29SHE SIGHS
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Stop the car.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Ben.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Look, we should really get you home.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I just saw Pam opening her stall.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Why would she do that?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Maybe she just wants to be around friends.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I should have gone over.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I didn't know what to say to her.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12There's nothing you can say.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- You've got to promise me you'll be careful.- Mum...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Look, I know you think I'm stuck in the Dark Ages,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21but there are still some really hateful people out there.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23We don't know what really happened to Paul.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I mean, this is London.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Horrible stuff happens to people all the time.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Look at Lucy Beale.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Is that supposed to make me feel better?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35My baby boy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36I'm going to be fine, Mum.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42People were asking if we're still having a market traders meeting later.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46It don't feel right just carrying on as normal.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Why don't we cancel,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49do something for Paul?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Or is it too soon?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54I think that's a lovely idea.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Should we go over...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11..or do you think she'd want us to leave her be?
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Pam...- I hope nobody notices my stock's a few days old.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25You really don't have to be here.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Pass me the carnations. They look a bit wilted.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'll pop them out the back.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Thank you, Dons.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Mum, it's me, again.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Where are you?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Does Phil know yet?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He wanted to come down the station but he was in agony.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Those cramps are getting worse.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Oh, Ben.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00What a terrible thing to have happened.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02And all over a stupid mobile phone.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Have they nicked anyone?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08No, not yet. He's only just given his statement, ain't he?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12They've got to wait for the swabs to come back, do the CCTV.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Hopefully, they'll have some leads soon.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Why don't you head off home, get some rest? I'll look after him.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Yeah, Billy, I think we should go and see Pam and Les, too.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'll get my bag.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yeah, I've got the builders coming round in a bit,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- so if you need anything, give us a shout, yeah?- Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Here you are. It's just me and you now.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48HE SOBS
0:04:50 > 0:04:51He's gone.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56He's gone, Jay.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02He's gone.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04HE CRIES
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Ooh, you're just the kind of people I'm looking for -
0:05:09 > 0:05:11young, sophisticated, well-kept.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Are you talking to us?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Not all of you.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Would you ladies mind filling out a questionnaire?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'm opening a beauty salon.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yeah, we do mind, actually, cos somebody's just died.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So, no, nobody cares about your salon, thanks very much.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'll just leave that there.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Are you lot free later?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I thought we could do something for Paul at the Vic.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Yeah. It's awful, isn't it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Yeah, saw Ben earlier.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43He weren't in a good way.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Yeah, I was up half the night, I'm so worried about him.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46I don't blame you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Bless him. He's only just come out and then this happens.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Do you think that's why they were attacked?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52It's obvious, ain't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Well, from what I've heard, babe,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Can we just drop it, yeah?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00There's no point trying to second guess what happened.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Oh, Les. We're so sorry.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07We've just had Ben round at ours.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10The poor kid was beaten black and blue.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Yeah, well, at least he's alive.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16How's Pam?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Sorry, that was a stupid question.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20She's as well as can be expected.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Look, Les, I know you had to let Billy go, for financial reasons,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26but if there's anything, anything we can do at any time,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- all you have to do is ask. - Yeah. Pam and I can manage.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32We're going to shut the shop for a couple of days at least.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34What about all the funerals?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35They're in hand.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Well, if you change your mind, let us know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Give our love to Pam.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Oh, Les.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I've only just found out.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50How could this happen?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Donna says that Pam's on the stall.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58She wants to keep busy.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- But what about you? - I need to be strong for Pam.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Well, my door's always open.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Yeah?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Oh, Pam. I can't imagine.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Thank you. Thank you, Linda.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Pam, I'm...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29You don't need to say anything, Johnny.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34We wanted to raise a glass for Paul at the Vic later, er, if...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36If... if that's all right with you and Les.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's nice to think that people are thinking of him.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44And I know that you and Les probably want to be on your own,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48but if you do fancy joining us, then pop in around five.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50We'll see how we feel.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- It's no pressure.- Thank you.- OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Pam.- Claudette.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Why don't you let me and Mum manage the stall?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Yeah, I could look after it for as long as you need.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I appreciate you packing up for me yesterday, but I can manage.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Oh, Pam, you should be home.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm not going to let my customers down.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Les needs you more than your customers.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22He can't handle this on his own
0:08:22 > 0:08:23and neither can you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29I don't need you telling me how to grieve for my grandson!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31We're just trying to help, Pam.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39One normal day...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42..that's all I wanted.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Is he still here?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Yeah, he's in here.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Ben, you need to come home.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07The police are on their way over.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Pam.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Are you OK?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Belinda.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29You still doing your research for your salon?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's not going very well.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Turns out no-one round here knows anything
0:09:33 > 0:09:35about high-class beauty treatments.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'll be happy to answer a few questions.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40You don't have to.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It would be no trouble at all.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well, if you could spare a few minutes,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I was just on my way home for a cup of tea.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Here you are. I found it. Lucky you had another one.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Don't worry, love, OK?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05The police, they just want to ask you a few more questions.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I've already told them everything.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12I can go if you want.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14No, stay.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21DOORBELL RINGS
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'll get it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Pam.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Sorry.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I didn't get much sleep last night.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Fire away.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Well, let's start with what kind of beauty treatments you've had before.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Let me see, erm...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Facials? Massages?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I went to a spa once, for my friend's 60th.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I just had a massage for my back pain.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I did fancy doing something a bit more adventurous,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23but you think,
0:11:23 > 0:11:24"I'll save it for a special occasion."
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Like that bottle of champagne Paul bought us for our anniversary.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38He got the posh glasses out
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and we told him to put them away,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43save it for a special occasion.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You think you've got all the time in the world.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I used to have nightmares about Paul after our son Lawrie died.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Les used to wake me up in the night because I got so upset,
0:12:02 > 0:12:03but then you have this...
0:12:06 > 0:12:09You have this overwhelming sense of relief.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13It was all just a dream.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Life wouldn't be that cruel.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Not again.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28But it's not a dream, is it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32No-one can wake me up.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Come here. Come on. All right.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39PAM CRIES
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Ben, we drafted the statement that you gave us last night
0:12:45 > 0:12:47and we just wanted to ask a couple of questions
0:12:47 > 0:12:48to clarify a few things.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49He said he told you everything.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51What are you trying to do, catch him out?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Phil, they're just doing their job.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Yeah, well, they've always had it in for this family, ain't they?- Phil.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00I assure you that's the last thing that we're trying to do, Mr Mitchell.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02PHONE RINGS
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Sorry.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09We just want to make sure we've got every detail written down,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13so we have the best chance of catching the people who did this to Paul.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17In your statement you say you believe this was a random,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18unprovoked attack.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22I told you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27It was a mugging.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31I woke up
0:13:31 > 0:13:33down an alley...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37..with no phone,
0:13:37 > 0:13:38no wallet...
0:13:41 > 0:13:42..nothing.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45No-one's doubting your version of events, Ben,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49but, unfortunately, we do have to follow all lines of inquiry.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What's that supposed to mean?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55You and Paul were a couple.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01We were just wondering why you hadn't mentioned this in your statement?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Because I didn't think it was important!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I think we should probably leave it there for today.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Before we go, could you sign out a receipt for your phone?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Um, can we go into the kitchen?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Is that OK?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Yeah?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22- Sorry.- Thank you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Les.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Come here.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43I'm so sorry.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Can I get you anything? A cup of tea?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51No, I just came round to see if Pam was all right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Oh, she's on the stall today.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Didn't she come home?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58No, I haven't seen her since she left this morning.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I hope me and my mum didn't upset her.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Why? What happened?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, we were just trying to help,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06but she just took off.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- I'm going to call her.- No, let her come back in her own time.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12We can't just leave it, Les. What if she's on her own?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Then that's what she wants.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18You remember what she was like after Lawrie.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23She'll come back to us when she's ready.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47We're going to do everything in our power to find those responsible
0:15:47 > 0:15:48and bring them to justice.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52But to do that,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55we have to be 100% sure that you've told us everything.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57HE SIGHS
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Look, you're a young gay couple
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and you were attacked on your way home.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09We can't rule out that you and Paul may have been targeted.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21What do you want me to do?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Huh?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Make up stuff that didn't happen?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39If you think of anything...
0:16:41 > 0:16:44..no matter how insignificant it may seem,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47please don't hesitate to give me a call.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Thank you.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Biscuit?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I've not got much of an appetite.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39When did you last eat something?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Thank you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Won't Les be wondering where you are?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I just needed to get out of the house.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Well, you can stay here as long as you like.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03All these years working in a funeral parlour...
0:18:05 > 0:18:07..all the families I've comforted,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09you'd think I'd know how to deal with grief, but...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13..I've got no idea what to do.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21When my dad died,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and I know it's not the same as losing a grandson...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27..but I was so angry.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I took it all out on Kat.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34But then I felt numb..
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I shut myself away.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I wouldn't eat anything.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43But Neville, my husband,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45well, on paper anyway,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48he fed me soup,
0:18:48 > 0:18:49he stroked my hair.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53He held me while I cried.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And this is a man without an emotional bone in his body.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I wouldn't have got through that if it hadn't been for him.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28What did she say to you, then, the copper?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33She thinks there's something I ain't telling her.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Is there?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Why don't you get back inside,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45before your mum sends out a search party?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I think I'm going to stay out here for a bit.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57All right. Well, I'll give you a call later, all right?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13How's he doing?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16He's not great, mate.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Can I sit?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41If you ever want to talk about what happened, then...
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I know you're probably not up to it, but
0:20:48 > 0:20:50a few of us are going to raise a glass for Paul at the Vic later,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53about five, if you fancy joining us.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00No.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think I'll give it a miss.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Well, you know where I am, yeah?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27There you are.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Donna said Claudette was on the stall?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30I went for a walk.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Pam...- Have they, er,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36have they said when Paul's being released?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It always takes longer than you think.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42And what about his mum, Jenny?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43We should let her know.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45We don't have to discuss all that now.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Didn't Paul give us that for our ruby wedding?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00That was a special day.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01It was.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So what were we saving it for?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I don't know.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10It's just gathering dust.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Here, let me do that. - No, I can manage.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21They're raising a glass for Paul in the Vic.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I think we should go.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Thank you, Johnny.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38I can't believe it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40That poor boy.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44How are Pam and Les holding up?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Sorry.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49That was such a daft question to ask.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Are they coming?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54I doubt it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56They're going to want to be on their own.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00If it was me,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04the last place I'd want to be is a crowded pub.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Pam and Les aren't coming, are they?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Let's give them a couple more minutes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09What about Ben?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10He said he wasn't up to it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26We're so sorry if we upset you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- We should have given you some space. - Yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31You were only trying to help, Donna.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- We're here for you whenever you need us.- Thank you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35What do we do now?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We hadn't really thought that far ahead.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Maybe we should ask Pam and Les?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Thanks for coming.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- I should say something. - You really don't have to.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I want to.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Thank you, everyone, for coming.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Paul would be so happy to know that you were thinking of him.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Paul was the most wonderful boy you could ever meet.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15When he walked into a room, it was like the sun came out.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Dearest Paul...
0:24:22 > 0:24:25..we were so lucky to have you brightening up our lives...
0:24:26 > 0:24:28..and not a day will go by that we don't...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32..that we don't think of you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34SHE CRIES
0:24:36 > 0:24:38To Paul.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39- To Paul.- To Paul.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42To Paul.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49How could you let this happen?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50I loved him.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I knew you weren't good enough.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57A lowlife with a criminal record.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I knew you were trouble.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06You are the worst thing that ever happened to him!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I wish it was you.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I wish you had died.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Pam!
0:25:18 > 0:25:19So do I.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Johnny.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Come on, come on, sit down. Sit down.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Ben.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02She didn't mean it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05She's right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07You can't blame yourself.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11You and Paul were just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I haven't told the police...
0:26:17 > 0:26:19..what really happened.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Pam, wait.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33SHE SOBS
0:26:40 > 0:26:41What haven't you told them?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47When we left the club, we were..
0:26:48 > 0:26:50..taking selfies...
0:26:52 > 0:26:54..laughing about something stupid.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01And these four blokes started following us down the road...
0:27:02 > 0:27:03..shouting at us.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06"Faggot."
0:27:07 > 0:27:10"Come on, then, you faggots."
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Paul said I should just leave it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17But I didn't, did I?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I had to start mouthing off,
0:27:23 > 0:27:24like I always do.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Paul's dead...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34..and it's all my fault.
