0:00:02 > 0:00:04Last night, it never happened. I can't have it.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06We'll find another way.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09You've never taken me seriously, have you?

0:00:10 > 0:00:12She stands up for what she believes in.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14When was the last time you did that, Jack?

0:00:14 > 0:00:17I've applied for selection as the Labour candidate in the by-election.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19I feel like the person I'm supposed to be.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21Took your time getting there.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23She just won't stay on her medication.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Can her doctor not do something?

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Short of sectioning her again and I can't let that happen.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's such a load to carry on your own.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32What if it's not enough for her? You know, me, marriage.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35I'm hoping that once we have our own home, we have a family,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37that it will be enough.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39The police pulled Victor up on a stop and search.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43They found cocaine in your car. You have to go there, Jack, put it right.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44If I do, I'm screwed.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46I suggest you make a call

0:00:46 > 0:00:48and resign your candidacy before the press get hold of it.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Dad.- I've heard it all before.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- So, you're flying solo? - I'm so done with all that.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Never say never.

0:01:02 > 0:01:10This programme contains some strong language

0:02:42 > 0:02:45'Mark Thatcher, the Prime Minister's son is reported missing

0:02:45 > 0:02:49'in the Sahara desert, while taking part in an international motor race.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52'It's yet another blow for the beleaguered Prime Minister

0:02:52 > 0:02:54'who only recently was voted

0:02:54 > 0:02:56'one of the most unpopular prime ministers in history.'

0:02:56 > 0:02:58DOORBELL RINGS

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Thanks for doing this.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Yeah, well, I'm doing this for you, not him.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12You came, thank God.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16After the drugs charge, when he lost his candidacy,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19never picked himself up after it.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22He just wasn't the same Jack.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Before it was cocaine and now he's started mixing it with heroin.- What?

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Why the hell didn't you tell us before?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30We didn't put it together at first,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32and then we didn't realise how bad it was till it was too late.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I came home from work last week and he was rolling around on the floor,

0:03:35 > 0:03:37shouting about headaches and cramp,

0:03:37 > 0:03:39so I gave him some aspirin, put him into bed.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41When I went to check on him, I couldn't wake him.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43He got blood poisoning,

0:03:43 > 0:03:47dirty needle or whatever crap his dealer uses to cut the heroin.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50We took him to the hospital, they pumped him full of antibiotics

0:03:50 > 0:03:52and methadone and then just turfed him out.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54He was back on heroin the next day.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58So, what is it you want us to do exactly?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Help us detox him.- Isn't a rehab unit the best place for that?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04He refuses point blank to go there,

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- says their petty rules remind him of boarding school.- Very Jack.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Is this what he wants? He really wants to get off it?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Yeah, between hits, when he can think straight.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20We need to keep him re-hydrated and moving,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22but not out the flat, not for any excuse.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24And there'll be plenty of those.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25One foot outside this flat,

0:04:25 > 0:04:27he'll go straight back to his dealer and score.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30What's the street price of heroin these days?

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Ow. What? Well, it's got to set him back a bit, hasn't it?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Valium for the panic attacks Anti-nausea.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39How long will it take?

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Two weeks, give or take.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Those who can should take time off work.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's best to have two of us here, if things get volatile.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Well, we might need to contain him. - What? Lock him up?

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Whatever it takes.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57If you're not up for it, just say.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- No-one's saying that, Orla. - No, of course not.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's a big ask, that's all.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Shouldn't his family pitch in?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07His father cut off all ties after the drugs bust.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08There is no-one.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Don't we owe him this? All of us.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Dear God, without him, you wouldn't have even met.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Or are we just forgetting that?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Jack.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Jack.- Jack.- Watch his head.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52'London time last night...

0:05:54 > 0:05:58'..the Argentinian cruiser, General Belgrano, was...'

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Didn't we say we'd start on a Monday?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02We start today, Jack, as agreed.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yeah, but Monday is the first day of a working week.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07It makes no sense to start on a Sunday.

0:06:07 > 0:06:12I can score one more hit and then we'll get down to it.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17First thing tomorrow morning, I'll get down...

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Charlie, Charlie, you're with me on this, right?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Charlie?- OK, I can do Tuesday afternoon,

0:06:24 > 0:06:26so we just need cover up until then.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30I've got something on tomorrow, but you can do it, can't you, Alan?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Aye, aye, put us down for the first shift.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Me too.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I might be OK for later in the week, Wednesday or Thursday.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Stay, Lilly. Orla's made up a bed for us.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Right. Well, let me come with you tomorrow.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Somebody can cover here a few hours, it's fine.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01I prefer... I prefer going on my own anyway, you know that.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Come here.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11One day, we'll see this for what it is.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Bad patch.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Hey?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21We'll beat this yet, you'll see.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53OK, Jack, I'm here.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55My head's just not there yet, Jay.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01You said my head had to be, my head had to be in the right place.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07One more hit. Where's the harm in one more hit?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Shh, shh.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Shh. Hold still, eh?

0:08:40 > 0:08:41How the wives and mothers feel

0:08:41 > 0:08:43seeing their men going off to the Falklands.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Is it a just cause, defending British citizens,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47or the last gasp of a dying empire?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50And I want a profile piece on Shirley Williams for the second segment,

0:08:50 > 0:08:54a year after quitting Labour for the SDP, regrets, highs, lows.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57A WOMAN SOBS

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Excuse me.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13You're scaring me, Lilly.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17What's happened?

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Tell me.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25All those years,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28all that aggro we went through trying to get the pill.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33It never crossed my mind I wouldn't be able to get pregnant

0:09:33 > 0:09:34when I were ready.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37I just assumed.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46That were the only pregnancy I'll ever have.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54A doctor told you that?

0:09:56 > 0:09:58So, see another one, get a second opinion.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00That was the second opinion.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Or the fourth, I've lost count.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's called Asherman's Syndrome.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14It's when an abortion damages the womb.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Isn't there something they can do? Operate?

0:10:21 > 0:10:22It's too risky.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24The scarring's too bad.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I was prepared to take the risk, but...

0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Alan still doesn't know? - Only that I've a problem conceiving.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Not why.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46This was, like, a point on the horizon to fix on.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Something I could aim for.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57It's like a light's gone out, Charlie.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04Do you hate him for it?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Jack.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Takes two.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27- Stay, don't go like this. - No, I-I'm fine, I'll call.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Wait, I'll come with you.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Lilly!

0:11:50 > 0:11:54# Spilling up pink silk and coffee lace

0:11:54 > 0:11:58# You hook me up I rendezvous at your place

0:11:58 > 0:12:01# Your lipstick and your lip gloss. #

0:12:01 > 0:12:03MUSIC STOPS

0:12:03 > 0:12:06There's other places we can go to, you know.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15What's his name, the one in Manchester?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18The one who did the test-tube baby.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19It's over.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28We'll try other alternatives. There's adoption, maybe.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35You always said that you couldn't love a child that wasn't yours.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36No, no.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40I want what you want, Lilly.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42And if it's a baby...

0:12:42 > 0:12:45What about when it's not a baby any more?

0:12:46 > 0:12:51When it's a stroppy teenager with a mind of its own.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Well, I'll have learnt to love it by then.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Love like that's not something you learn.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06It's something you give.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Unconditionally.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Hey, hey, hey.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Come here. Come here. Shh.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38We can still have a good life, me and you, Lil.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45We can do things that couples with kids can't do, you know.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Travel and...

0:13:56 > 0:13:57We'll be free.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Houston, we have a problem.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Ah! There's my precious girl.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21I came home from work and she'd camped out on the doorstep, waiting.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33I need to be near a television set at all times,

0:14:33 > 0:14:35things are moving so fast now.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Oh, I need a radio for the World Service, a shortwave one,

0:14:39 > 0:14:42and some pens.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Mum, where are your pills?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Your pills, where are they?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53I'm taking a break from them, dear.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Someone has to keep a log of the Argentinian casualties.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10You can't trust them to tell us.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12368 died on the Belgrano.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15And all we hear about are the 20 who died on the Sheffield.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17They talk about a proportionate response,

0:15:17 > 0:15:19how is that a proportionate response?

0:15:19 > 0:15:23Either every human life is of value or it isn't.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36This brings back memories.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Days of yore, when we were students.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41When did you and I ever do this as students?

0:15:41 > 0:15:42In here we did.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45And much more.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55God only knows what she's doing down there.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58What's one more cuckoo in the nest?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01How about I do your shift here tomorrow?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04You can sort out your mum.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08What about work?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm not in court until the day after, so...

0:16:21 > 0:16:23This thing with Lilly,

0:16:23 > 0:16:26you think it's the biological clock they're on about?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28That she left it too late.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Maybe it's time we got our own show on the road in that department.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52What if it's a trade-off?

0:16:53 > 0:16:57A woman becomes a mother, she puts her child's needs before her own.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02That's what we're programmed to do, that's the deal.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08What if it means everything I can still achieve gets lost?

0:17:10 > 0:17:11I get lost.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Like that poem, not waving, but drowning.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well,

0:17:25 > 0:17:26you won't be in it alone...

0:17:28 > 0:17:30..because I'll be right there with you.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33I'll be your life raft.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04'Further air operations were also conducted

0:18:04 > 0:18:06'over the Falkland Islands today.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08'The Vulcan attack on Port Stanley airfield this morning

0:18:08 > 0:18:12'was successful and all the aircraft involved returned safely.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14'In the case of Sea Harrier attacks,

0:18:14 > 0:18:19'one of our aircraft was shot down. The pilot has been killed.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22'His name will be announced after confirmation has been received

0:18:22 > 0:18:24'that his next of kin have been informed.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27'All the other Sea Harriers returned safely.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31'Elsewhere, Argentinian aircraft have been intersected...'

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Ah!

0:19:35 > 0:19:37I need some gear.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Yes, now.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45When? When tomorrow?

0:19:46 > 0:19:47No, no.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50I'll come to you.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13Guilty.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12CRUNCH OF GRAVEL

0:21:30 > 0:21:32The manic phase is hard enough,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34when she crashes into the depression.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36And now she has this thing about the Falklands.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Obsessions are a common symptom with manic depression.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44- The chemical imbalance in her brain means...- I know what it means, I've had to deal with it long enough.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48I just can't hold down a job and watch her 24 hours a day any more.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50I can't do it.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55I need you to help me get her admitted again.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Get her back on the medication,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00I can pretty well cope with her when she's on it.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02You're her doctor, they'll have to listen to you, won't they?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm sorry, Miss Pugh.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07There's an embargo now on all voluntary psychiatric admissions.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's part of a new mental health policy from the government.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13All long-term mental hospitals are to be closed,

0:22:13 > 0:22:18all patients relocated to hostels or at home.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21"Care in the Community" - that's what they're calling it.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Then she'll have to be sectioned,

0:22:30 > 0:22:32so it's not a voluntary admission.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34They can only do that if she's a threat to herself or others.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36So, what? We wait till she cuts her wrists again

0:22:36 > 0:22:39or takes another overdose?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Is there no-one in your family that can help you?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48My brothers say their own families are their priority.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Apparently, caring is women's work.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58She pulled the ladder up after her, didn't she?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Thatcher.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03I didn't see that coming.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08Sorry to waste your time.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- What sort of business would that be? - Greeting cards.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Erm...

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Oh, sorry, sorry.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21I've applied for an Enterprise Allowance.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25Put some costs together.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32I need a loan of £3,000 for three months to get started.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35That'll buy a print run of 1,500 to produce 12,000 cards

0:24:35 > 0:24:38from my own designs I did at art college.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44I need to research current trends, of course.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'm aiming for the high end of the market, though,

0:24:46 > 0:24:52big department stores, er, independent art and gift shops.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Have you approached any of them?

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Secured any potential orders?

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well, without any finished cards to show them...

0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's chicken and egg, isn't it? Catch 22.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12We're not in the habit of handing out unsecured loans, Mrs Harper.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15This is the enterprise culture everyone's on about, is it?

0:25:15 > 0:25:21We would need collateral, your house, for example.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24You'll need your husband's support for that, obviously.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27Obviously.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30Excuse me.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45HE LAUGHS

0:25:45 > 0:25:47HE MUTTERS TO HIS COLLEAGUE

0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Three grand.- Three grand? - THEY LAUGH

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Oh, no, don't say it.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03The flat door was locked.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06We thought he was in his room.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Look, he can't have gone far, his car's right...

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Go into the kitchen, Mum.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35Do you think we should get Jay back to check on him?

0:26:35 > 0:26:36Let him sleep it off first.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Orla, is there a key for this room?

0:26:43 > 0:26:46There might be a spare bunch in the kitchen, let's see.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's for the loan.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18To pay the printer for the first run

0:27:18 > 0:27:21and once it's paid off and I'm up and running...

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Have you seen the interest rate on this?

0:27:23 > 0:27:25I went to four banks, Alan.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Each and every one laughed me out of court.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31That was the best deal I could get and I had to beg to get that.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Do you need that many cards, Lilly?

0:27:34 > 0:27:38The more you print, the cheaper it is, that's just how it works.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'll do the folding and stuffing of envelopes, to keep costs down.

0:27:41 > 0:27:4412,000 cards.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47I mean, we should all live so bloody long.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52What if we can't pay back the loan? We'd lose the house.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Forget it!. - Hey, no, don't be like that.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57- No, you're right, it's a daft idea. - Don't be like that.

0:27:57 > 0:28:02No, I just...I don't understand the rush.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Lilly, it's a big step.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07We are what we are, Alan.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Waiting won't change anything.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Oh.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Look, you start at that new school next term.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17You're going to be working all day,

0:28:17 > 0:28:20- I don't know how you're going to find time to...- I called them.- What?

0:28:20 > 0:28:23I called them, told them I'm quitting teaching.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31I'm not spending every day surrounded by kids, Alan, I'm not.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44ALAN SIGHS

0:29:26 > 0:29:29Right. We need to get a phone in here.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31And if you can set up that computer?

0:30:13 > 0:30:15I hope I did the right thing calling you.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28He's still pretty much out of it.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31Thanks.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49Can you hear me?

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Jack?

0:31:19 > 0:31:21On my way here, I was...

0:31:22 > 0:31:24..thinking how all this started.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28This...this estrangement between us.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36When you were little,

0:31:36 > 0:31:40everybody called you Daddy's boy.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42Drove your mother mad.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47"He only has eyes for you," she used to say.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55You always used to wait for me at the front door when I got home.

0:31:56 > 0:31:57Always.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Without fail.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09But then you went away to school...

0:32:12 > 0:32:15..and it was me who was waiting at the door.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23But it wasn't the same child who came back.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26No.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31It was an angry, little stranger.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Was I to blame for that?

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Was I to blame for sending you away to school?

0:32:45 > 0:32:46It never did me any harm.

0:32:53 > 0:32:58And then, later, when you were a teenager, you were doing

0:32:58 > 0:33:02what all kids do, you were finding your own way and...

0:33:05 > 0:33:09..and I thought that challenging me was part of that

0:33:09 > 0:33:11and that you'd pull through it.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21All I could feel was the...

0:33:22 > 0:33:25..loss of that little boy who used to wait for me.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34I could feel his absence, even in your presence.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44That was when it started, wasn't it?

0:33:44 > 0:33:45Our war of attrition.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50The day I drove you to that bloody school.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59The wrong turns you've taken since I've...

0:34:01 > 0:34:02..driven you there too.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14I do want to help you through this, Jack.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25Please.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Let me.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56Thank you.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37'You want me to be your mole?

0:35:37 > 0:35:38'Well, that's good.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41'I did it for you!

0:35:41 > 0:35:43'I think we both know why you did it, Jack.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46'Look in the mirror, Jack. Look! Loyalty has nothing to do with it.'

0:35:46 > 0:35:48'There is only one loser around here.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50'It's because you feel, you get so angry.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52'What's the proof of it?

0:35:52 > 0:35:56'I've never met anybody so full of pre-digested crap as you.'

0:35:56 > 0:36:00'If I needed further proof of my total irrelevance to you,

0:36:00 > 0:36:02'today was it.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11'What was it you said in your interview?

0:36:14 > 0:36:16'I'm here, aren't I?'

0:36:17 > 0:36:20'You hesitated, Jack. You hesitated.

0:37:24 > 0:37:25That's not true.

0:37:27 > 0:37:32Name one thing, one fucking thing I've not screwed up!

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Losing you is top of the bloody list.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51..you and your demons.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56I thought if I just hung in long enough...

0:37:56 > 0:37:59But you're the only one who can beat them, Jack.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03maybe this is what it takes to make you see that.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07And the hell I've put the others through? The damage I have done!

0:38:12 > 0:38:13I'm worthless.
