Hey, where are you going? You nearly

drowned me the other night, you stupid

[ __ ] They think it's down to me.

There's three kids dead and they think

it's down to me. Come on. All right,

mate. It's okay. I'm sorry I knocked you

back. If that's what this is about, I'm

really sorry. I'm really really sorry,

Lucy, but blaming me for the death of

three kids is a bit over the [ __ ]

top, don't you think? Will you get Yeah,

I'm going. Tell the truth, Lucy. No

one's going to blame you. Everyone will

understand. Okay, just tell the truth.

I'm gone. I'm gone. The truth. Will you

get off?

The truth. Tell the truth.

twist. Well, did you recognize any of

them? They wore masks. No, they're

voices. They all sound alike. Don't be

sheep shaggers. Well, I'm thinking

what happens at an inquest.

They decide the cause of death, don't

they?

They drowned.

They know that. So why have an inquest?

They're trying to blame someone, aren't

they? Trying to blame me. Well,

you decided to twist

and instantly regretted it. Have you

told the police? Behave. Twist again.

What you should have done.

Stick.

Why don't you just do one? Where to?

Who's that?

I don't know. Back to Liverpool. Just

give me the honor. You're joking out

yet? Well, anywhere then. Your wife and

kid are here. Yeah, but you aren't able

to see him. I see them. What you want to

do? Do you

What are you doing? You wanted a twist.

I didn't. You were trying to say twist.

I was trying to say stick. Oh, you lying

bastard. I was trying to say stick.

Well, you just said stick. You just said

it twice. How come you couldn't say it

before? Just give me [ __ ] money. [ __ ]

off. Say twist. Give me money. Say

twist. Say twist and I believe you.

Sus right now. That's how you was

before, right? That's how your mouth was

before. If you was trying to say stick,

you go like that, wouldn't you?

Thank god it's not snap.

Sex. Everything's sex.

She was his little Christmas present.

Like a new hat, pair of socks, pair of

gloves.

He used them for a bit, but now he's

cast them off. And I'm supposed to pick

them up and wear them again. But they're

stretched now, out of shape, distorted,

stained,

and they smell of him. Who is it?

Parent.

You're dead.

I'll pull a drown because of you. I pull

a drown your hands to your bloody self.

Very rare. In fact, pull its horns out,

wipe it off, and stick it on the plate.

I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but

there'll be a slight delay to dinner.

Come on. Get off.

[Music]

till the end. The end of

Stay away from my house.

Sheila,

[Music]

I want you to go to Sergeant Slate and

tell him the truth. You were on the

phone. There'll be an itemized list of

telephone calls to prove it. No. Then

let me tell Sheila Thu. No. She lost the

child. She's got a right to know the

truth about her child's death. Who's to

blame? Who's not to blame? She's got a

right to know the truth. When I told

you, I told you in the strictest

confidence. In the strictest bloody

confidence. You've got no right to go

spoken to anyone about it. I've gone out

on a limb for you. I've answered prayers

for you. It's driven a wedge between me

and Chila's weight and that's got to

stop because she needs me. She needs a

priest. I'll lose Emma.

If she finds out I was on the phone to

that bookie, then that is it.

See Lucy Arche,

you want to get married one day, Lucy?

Yeah.

Have children?

Yeah,

Arthur and Sheila Thuaits can't have any

more children.

You can imagine how important it is for

them to know the truth.

The truth about how Paula died.

Yeah.

You see, without the truth, they can't

even begin to grieve. Can you say that?

Will you tell the truth of this inquest,

Lucy,

please?

[Music]

What will you say?

Danny Cavana took money off those kids

and pushed them out onto the lake. Lucy,

I know that Danny Cavana took money off

those kids and pushed them out onto the

lake.

Really, a very common error. I've often

thought about forming a pressure group,

the RSPLF,

the Royal Society for the Protection of

Less and Fewer.

Really?

Yes.

Will you come around tonight?

Yes.

I'm staying here right till my wife and

child come out the house to see me. Not

on a sly. We can do that. But with your

what's wrong? Nothing.

You didn't say bye. I'm late.

Is there something wrong? No, I'm late.

That's all.

Bye. Bye.

Can I help you?

Is Matt here in? He's gone away for a

I'm Steve.

Can I help?

Um,

no.

No, it was nothing.

Thanks.

They've knocked the phone off the hook.

It's 34. Go up and tell them what? Go up

and tell them. They die. That wor this.

They obviously don't know. We can hear

them. What they don't know can't hurt.

But what?

Nothing.

She seems occupied.

It's Lucy.

Lucy.

Lucy. Oh god. You wait outside. I'll

deal with this. Get dressed.

It's you. You're fired. Do you hear me?

You're fired. You can't sack him. Got to

sack him. Wait till we find another chef

and then sack him. Get dressed. Will you

wait outside?

Go

wait outside, will you? Go on. Go on.

You'll pay for the room. Of course. I'll

stop it out of your wages.

That wasn't your first time. It was,

Lucy. I heard it. You didn't sound

particularly apprehensive. With him? It

was my first time with him.

There have been others. Yeah. How many?

approximately.

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

It's lovely.

Thanks,

We think it was intentional.

Really?

Could you think of anyone who'd do a

thing like that to him?

Stephanie and Norman Peplo.

He screwed her a few years ago and

dumped her. Theresa and Graeme Harris

screwed and dumped. Barbara and David

Samuelson screwed and dumped Liam and

Julie Howard. Lisa and Jamie Pope.

Frankie and Jean Thistleweight and

they're now divorced.

Simone and John P.

Nothing trivial, I hope. fractured

skull. At least crushed testicles. Yes,

we caught that man having sex with Lucy.

I'm delighted he's been hurt. I'm

disappointed he's not paralyzed from the

waist down, actually. But it wasn't me

driving that car. It wasn't me.

I'd have used a bloody steamroller. I'd

have made sure. If you find out who was

behind that wheel, let me know, won't

you? I owe them a drink. Right. I tried

to kill him. I killed the kids on the

lake and I tried to kill the chef.

There's only foot and mouth around this

year. You can put that down to me and

all. Mad cow disease. I'll cough up with

that as well. Anything else I can do for

you? So many people hated him, didn't

they? I doubt you'll ever find the real

culprit.

You passed your test recently.

Yes.

[Applause]

changing.

Hello.

Hello.

Where did he go?

On a retreat. I spoke to the bishop. His

advice was to go away and think about

it.

You told the bishop about us.

Yes.

You told me the best thing was to get

away.

The second best was to take you away for

a weekend. Give you a good Rogering. Get

it all out of my system.

I chose the former.

Apparently, it's all down to arrested

adolescence,

a buildup of wild oats.

When long did he began to do the trick,

Bishop Reagan?

In seminary,

there was this textbook.

I looked up women in the index.

It said, "Women

see under danger.

You still seeing him?

Yes. Why?

Why? Yeah. Why? He's my husband.

He's our father.

Bloody smoke alarm.

What's wrong?

It's the onions. Huh? It's the onions.

[Applause]

It can't be easy for her. I mean,

running a home's difficult at the best

of times. Now she's got Amber and the

baby.

Do you think that's it? Do you?

I do. me a bit. I know I'm oldfashioned

on her, but there are ways of doing

things, Matthew. This isn't London.

There's ways of doing things around here

that stood the test of time.

She's never criticized you. She thinks

you're a wonderful husband.

But, sorry, a woman says a thing like

that, there's always a butt. He's a

wonderful husband, but

do you think there's a butt?

Morning.

[Music]

There's nothing to forgive. Nothing

whatsoever. There is.

Nothing ever happened. No.

I woke up the other day, early hours of

the morning,

somebody making love to me.

I thought it was you.

I was still half asleep, half conscious.

And then I began to realize it probably

wasn't you.

It was Peter.

And I wanted to stare like that,

half asleep, half conscious.

Because that way it could still be you.

It could still possibly be you.

That's a man I've loved for over 20

years.

And you're telling me there's nothing to

forgive.

Good night.

Turn it on.

What? Turn it on. Should I get the

phone,

please?

Hello. Hello.

Turn it off. Turn it off.

Hello.

today at

there's a huge hush throughout the

auditorium

surely not

surely not but ye

does it and you can't help but feel

sorry for his young opponent to meet a

unlikely. Clap hands. Daddy come home.

Sprinkle Jojo with cake in a bus. Jam in

the middle, cherry on top. Hurry up,

daddy. And don't wor about your figure

and grant connection. I know Lorraine's

pretty sticking sex way. But I mean, I'm

not exactly been given her much

competition, have I? But once I lose a

few pounds, I get a decent night. It

might not be as easy as that.

Hello, Peter. Bless me, father, for I

have sinned. May the Lord help you to

confess your sins with true sorrow.

There's something wrong with Bernie.

Something physical,

emotional.

She's been crying of it in a world of

her own.

Have you spoken to her? I've tried. You

know, when I was fixing the pipe, trying

to fix the pipe. Yes. She phoned. I

answered. She put the phone down. Why

would you do that?

I don't know.

Are you screwing my wife?

I pick a pardon. Are you screwing my

wife?

No, this is the sacrament of penance.

Matthew, you lie during this, you might

as well walk out there and piss on the

altar. I'm not lying.

I'm not screwing your wife. Have you

tried to screw my wife? No. Have you

contemplated screwing my wife?

Have you contemplated screwing my wife?

I'm only human. Peter, did she give you

any encouragement?

You'll have to ask her that. Did she

give you any [ __ ] encouragement?

I'm not prepared to answer that. Sorry.

You spout about sacrifice, Matthew. The

only sacrifice you asked to make is to

keep your hands to yourself. You can't

manage it. Christ went to the cross. All

you're asked to do is to keep your hands

to yourself, and you can't. You're a

disgrace. Yes. And we're not talking

about any old woman. This is my wife.

I'm your parishioner. You're supposed to

give me a bit of support. Emotional and

spiritual support. You mess about with

my wife, you're not just failing to

support me. They're breaking my [ __ ]

heart. Nothing ever happened. I promise.

And it won't, Matthew, because you mess

about with women and you're just like

any other man. And I'll treat you like

any other man. And if I caught any other

man messing about with my wife, I'd rip

his dick off. Okay.

Simone P used to shave the legs for you,

I believe.

Why is it so sexy, do you think?

I think it's to do with anticipation.

You shave them, therefore you anticipate

somebody handling them.

You'll um notice it's a front fastening

bra. Well, he's a bit clumsy, you see.

He's all thumbs.

They turn in wild black suspenders.

Suzies, he calls them.

It's funny, isn't it? Because nakedness

isn't sexy at all, but the slight

concealment of nakedness.

And it's not the things you expect.

This suspender belt for instance, that's

to hold my stockings up. That's all.

Make me legs look good. So, it's strange

that that should be thought to be so

sexy. Sexier than your stockings. Sexier

even than my legs.

[Music]

He's young.

excitable.

It gets there far too soon, if you know

what I mean.

But six or seven quickies make up for

one long slowy, don't you think? And

I've got to admit, I find it flattering

the fact I can get him going six or

seven times without having to massage

his ego, so to speak.

We do it in room 34 of the SWAT. It's

the last room alert. So, it's usually

empty. Well, unless the hotel's heaving,

of course. Obviously, it's not the best

room they've got. But it serves a

purpose. Double bed, what have you.

We works there, you see.

[Music]

A bit of urban rough.

Be good.

Even the whiskey.

Have a drink. Sammy,

[Music]

I love you.

How much?

That much.

Prove it.

No.

[Music]

Thank you. Sleep.

How's that?

Nice.

I've got to get back, right?

The truth will come out.

Yeah.

tell the truth, Lucy. Tell the truth.

Okay. Look, I'm no expert, but I'm

pretty sure you're not telling witness,

so do you mind? Just please tell the

truth. Yeah.

[Music]

That's my suit.

As coroner, my task is quite

straightforward. I have to determine the

cause of death.

In an ideal world, I could do that

without aortioning blame or implying

guilt.

But this isn't an ideal world.

The law allows for people who feel they

might be incriminated by these

proceedings to be present throughout and

when appropriate to ask their own

questions of any witnesses I call. And

that is why Mr. Daniel Cavana and Mrs.

Juliet Bray will be present throughout

this hearing.

We came from the city so a village

school in the Lake District.

It was like a dream come true.

We couldn't believe our luck.

But the novelty soon wears off and you

realize you're not living in the Lake

District. You're living in a little

village in the Lake District.

Petty,

parochial,

claustrophobic.

And you're getting older.

And your husband's getting older. Sucked

dry by that school. Chalk dust in his

veins. utterly devoid of conversation.

You try to escape the boredom,

but there are only two things you can do

in a little village in the Lake

District. One's drink,

the other's sex.

I suspected my wife was having an

affair.

Suspected isn't a word. I knew

as good as new.

If she tried to hide it,

I'd have taken some comfort from that.

At least she cared enough about me to

try to hide it. But she didn't.

So I followed her.

I left the children unattended

to follow my wife.

Daniel Cavana was talking to you. Yes.

What was he saying?

He wanted me to go to the boat house

with him. What for?

Sex.

And where were the children at this

stage? In the boat. He was talking to me

and pushing them out. She's lying.

Did the children pay, Mr. Cavvena?

Yes. How much? £3.

Did each one pay a pound coin? Did uh

one child pay for all three? Did he have

to give them change?

And they each paid a pound.

Wasn't that awkward for them?

No. But they were on the lake being

pushed out. How did they reach him?

They paid before. Before they were

pushed out.

I see.

Do you like Daniel Cavana?

No.

Not at all.

No. So why go to the boat landing?

I just did.

Well, you'd be alone with a man you

didn't like. A man suggesting sex.

Yeah.

Why didn't you walk away?

I don't know.

I was young once, Lucy.

Somebody hurts you. You tell a spiteful

lie about them. You think you can

retract that lie, but everything gets so

serious and it all goes on so long that

you can't. To retract would make you

look foolish,

childish.

But that isn't true.

To stick to the lie is childish.

The brave thing, the adult thing is to

tell the truth. Yes.

Yes.

Did you lie about Daniel Cavana?

No.

Could

you be mistaken about Daniel Cavana?

No.

Would you like some time to think it

over? Would you like to talk to your

parents about it?

No. Very well.

When did you arrive at the boat landing?

Um, I'm not sure. Well, how long were

you there before the boat went out?

About 10 minutes.

Ah, now we know the boat sank at 12:40

because that's when you dialed 999. Yes.

Yes. So, you must have got to the boat

landing about 12:30. Yes. So, between

12:30 and 12:40,

you were with Daniel Cavana on the boat

landing.

Yes. He was never in the boat house as

he claims. No.

Would

you please

that is an itemized list of phone calls

from the boat house

at 12:37. Lucy, when you say he was with

you,

Daniel Cavana was on the phone in the

boat house.

How do you explain that?

How do you explain it?

I can't.

Is that the statement you made to

Sergeant Stator?

Yeah.

Is it true?

Most of it.

Which bits of it aren't true?

The bit where I say I can't remember

what I was doing in the boat house. I

couldn't remember.

You were on the phone. Yeah.

Look, I know where you got this from. I

told someone this in total confidence.

You had no right to go mouthing. You

have a right to know how whatever the

truth about how their children died.

Why did you lie?

I I was on the phone to the boogie.

I didn't want my wife to find out cuz I

I promised her I'd never gamble again.

As for John Parr, an experienced head

teacher, his behavior was a disgrace.

No matter what personal trauma he was

going through, to leave primary school

age children unattended

is unforgivable.

This was a tragic accident.

Blame may be aortioned

but not guilt.

May I offer my deepest sympathies to the

families of these children.

That leaves Mr. Daniel Cavana.

He has nothing to reproach himself for.

On the contrary, he acted immediately

and risked his own life to try to save

those poor children.

Lies have been told about this young

man, but in my opinion, he is a hero.

I'm sorry.

He promised he'd never gamble again, but

he did. And my cousin drowned because of

it.

Okay. You know, he could have been

phoning anyone, but he wasn't. He was

phoning the bookie,

and that's why our Pauler drowned. The

whole village was blaming him. All he

had to do was tell the truth. He was on

the phone. Bookie, pie shop, green

gross. It wouldn't have mattered. He was

on the phone. The lad couldn't have been

blamed and they'd have all accepted that

all by you. So he took all that abuse,

all that blame because he didn't want to

lose you.

I call that love.
