or, at least, the absence
of positive stimuli,
41
00:03:35,112 --> 00:03:37,652
accounts for the propensity
of certain individuals

00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:41,418
An arsonist has external motivation.
359
00:22:41,503 --> 00:22:43,787
- Such as?
- Insurance fraud.
360
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:47,146
Whereas a pyromaniac's motivation
comes from within.
361
00:22:47,231 --> 00:22:48,987
Anger, for example.
362
00:22:49,071 --> 00:22:50,667
I think we're safe to assume
363
00:22:50,751 --> 00:22:53,307
that the motivation
of whoever set the fire
364
00:22:53,652 --> 00:22:56,035
was to either harm or kill
Amity Roberts.
365
00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:58,516
It is seldom safe
to assume anything.
366
00:22:58,609 --> 00:23:00,525
So, who's in the frame?
367
00:23:00,711 --> 00:23:04,378
Valerie Peters moved out
a week or so before the fire,
368
00:23:04,463 --> 00:23:07,826
still has her key, admits to being
antagonistic towards the victim,
369
00:23:07,911 --> 00:23:09,747
but has an alibi
that appears to check out.
370
00:23:09,831 --> 00:23:13,307
Joss Jones, in his bedroom alone
on the night of the fire.
371
00:23:13,391 --> 00:23:15,547
So no alibi.
We're starting background checks.
372
00:23:15,631 --> 00:23:18,507
And Louis Dennis,
Amity Roberts' former boyfriend.
373
00:23:18,886 --> 00:23:20,691
Who DS Donckers
so cleverly photographed
374
00:23:20,871 --> 00:23:22,107
at the scene of the fire.
375
00:23:22,191 --> 00:23:23,996
And who we found
with some dodgy photos
376
00:23:24,081 --> 00:23:25,901
of Miss Roberts on his laptop.
377
00:23:26,691 --> 00:23:28,488
Some kind of revenge porn?
378
00:23:28,573 --> 00:23:30,609
He seemed pretty upset
that Dan suggested that
379
00:23:30,694 --> 00:23:32,010
when we interviewed him earlier.
380
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:35,256
I've told you,
I didn't take those pictures.
381
00:23:35,341 --> 00:23:39,026
I didn't send 'em to anybody.
She sent them to me. I swear.
382
00:23:39,111 --> 00:23:42,107
Why would she send compromising
photos of herself
383
00:23:42,191 --> 00:23:44,391
to someone she dumped
less than a month ago,
384
00:23:44,476 --> 00:23:46,516
plus a bunch of her classmates
and peers?
385
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:48,961
I've absolutely no idea.
386
00:23:49,046 --> 00:23:50,522
You didn't think
that this was her way
387
00:23:50,607 --> 00:23:52,887
of trying to say she wanted
to get back together with you?
388
00:23:53,344 --> 00:23:55,852
No, definitely not.
389
00:23:55,937 --> 00:23:57,757
You seem very sure.
390
00:23:59,984 --> 00:24:02,867
She's already started sleeping
with somebody else.
391
00:24:02,951 --> 00:24:05,307
That's what I've heard.
392
00:24:05,625 --> 00:24:07,891
Any idea who?
393
00:24:09,622 --> 00:24:11,698
Joss Jones.
394
00:24:11,845 --> 00:24:16,555
Blimey, they're all at it with
each other like a bunch of baboons.
395
00:24:17,117 --> 00:24:18,587
JASPER: It is more accurately termed
396
00:24:18,671 --> 00:24:21,063
a flange of baboons,
Detective Inspector.
397
00:24:21,148 --> 00:24:23,104
But you are otherwise correct.
398
00:24:23,271 --> 00:24:28,203
Like baboons, or bonobos,
or any other group of primates,
399
00:24:28,288 --> 00:24:31,117
our student friends are engaged
in a struggle with one another
400
00:24:31,202 --> 00:24:33,398
for status and mating rights.
401
00:24:33,483 --> 00:24:36,016
Well, then, in the absence
of David Attenborough,
402
00:24:36,101 --> 00:24:38,897
I suggest you two start studying
them little more closely.
403
00:24:39,578 --> 00:24:41,329
Come on, then, Lis.
404
00:24:41,414 --> 00:24:44,747
I've got six hours of CCTV footage
to go through
405
00:24:44,831 --> 00:24:46,427
from Valerie Peter's summer ball.
406
00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:48,769
What, I've got to do this on my own?
407
00:24:51,714 --> 00:24:55,854
What about you, Professor?
Fancy teaming up?
408
00:25:06,912 --> 00:25:08,068
Adelaide.
409
00:25:08,352 --> 00:25:09,805
Christina.
410
00:25:09,890 --> 00:25:12,430
Are you...
Are you looking for Jasper?
411
00:25:12,547 --> 00:25:15,607
In a car park? That seems unlikely.
412
00:25:18,062 --> 00:25:20,778
Gosh, you know, you...
413
00:25:21,034 --> 00:25:22,510
You haven't aged a bit.
414
00:25:22,751 --> 00:25:25,171
Can't say the same for you, dear.
415
00:25:27,671 --> 00:25:29,987
I'm sorry, Adelaide, I'm...
I'm in a bit of a rush.
416
00:25:30,071 --> 00:25:31,938
Has he informed you of his intention
417
00:25:32,023 --> 00:25:34,419
to undergo a course
of psychotherapy?
418
00:25:34,871 --> 00:25:36,523
No, no, he hasn't.
419
00:25:36,608 --> 00:25:38,868
Then consider yourself told.
420
00:25:40,702 --> 00:25:44,498
There's only one reason a man
of his outlook and temperament
421
00:25:44,669 --> 00:25:47,425
would hazard the foolhardy step
of self-analysis,
422
00:25:48,305 --> 00:25:50,851
and it isn't to impress his mother.
423
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:53,867
There's nothing I would like more
424
00:25:53,952 --> 00:25:55,988
than to see my son
settled and happy.
425
00:25:56,351 --> 00:25:58,656
But if you toy with his affections,
426
00:25:58,742 --> 00:26:02,915
well, as the ladies from the
Fen Ditton Bridge Club can testify,
427
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,398
my wrath is a terrible thing
to behold.
428
00:26:07,587 --> 00:26:09,207
Toodle-loo.
429
00:26:23,612 --> 00:26:25,438
Professor, street sign.
430
00:26:28,013 --> 00:26:29,809
Doh!
431
00:26:30,096 --> 00:26:31,756
Excuse me?
432
00:26:33,031 --> 00:26:34,931
Doesn't matter.
433
00:26:36,486 --> 00:26:38,362
You disagree with DI Rabbit, then,
Professor?
434
00:26:38,447 --> 00:26:41,266
- Almost invariably.
- Doesn't seem that much of a reach.
435
00:26:41,351 --> 00:26:42,602
If the fire was started
deliberately,
436
00:26:42,687 --> 00:26:44,163
then Amity must have been
the target.
437
00:26:44,248 --> 00:26:46,461
Are you very familiar
with the latest academic research
438
00:26:46,546 --> 00:26:48,022
into the behavioural abnormalities
439
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:50,852
of those with pyromaniac tendencies,
Detective Sergeant?
440
00:26:51,051 --> 00:26:53,567
- I wouldn't say very.
- And neither am I.
441
00:26:53,792 --> 00:26:56,708
Because there has been remarkably
little research in this area.
442
00:26:57,055 --> 00:26:58,727
- (DOORBELL)
- What little there has
443
00:26:58,812 --> 00:27:02,186
suggests pyromaniacs often fail
to understand their own motivations.
444
00:27:02,271 --> 00:27:03,762
They act impulsively,
445
00:27:03,833 --> 00:27:06,553
sometimes in response
to sexual or fetishistic urges.
446
00:27:06,638 --> 00:27:08,794
Right, they get a kick out of it.
Precisely so.
447
00:27:09,056 --> 00:27:11,372
So, how do we know we're dealing
with a kinky pyromaniac
448
00:27:11,457 --> 00:27:13,592
or a plain vanilla arsonist?
449
00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:17,588
You look for a pattern of similar
fires in that part of the city.
450
00:27:21,013 --> 00:27:23,353
(DOORBELL)
451
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:28,296
You've had no problems with them?
Your current tenants.
452
00:27:28,381 --> 00:27:33,297
No, you know, a few,
nothing serious.
453
00:27:34,077 --> 00:27:36,981
Mrs Ransome, we found this.
454
00:27:40,041 --> 00:27:42,014
That's a misunderstanding.
455
00:27:42,099 --> 00:27:45,839
That's a Section 8 eviction notice
dated on the third of last month.
456
00:27:48,721 --> 00:27:52,311
All right, I admit it,
I wanted them out.
457
00:27:52,396 --> 00:27:54,116
And why was that, Mrs Ransome?
458
00:27:54,764 --> 00:27:57,101
I got Wilf to drive me around
during the day
459
00:27:57,186 --> 00:27:58,694
while they're out at lectures.
460
00:27:58,779 --> 00:28:02,655
You wouldn't believe what we found.
Powders, pills, potions.
461
00:28:02,961 --> 00:28:05,757
And did you report what you found
to the police?
462
00:28:06,405 --> 00:28:09,538
It wouldn't have been
worth my while.
463
00:28:09,623 --> 00:28:12,483
Or someone made it worth your while
not to.
464
00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:16,560
There's no law against
changing your mind, is there?
465
00:28:21,315 --> 00:28:23,831
It would seem young Joss Jones...
466
00:28:24,041 --> 00:28:28,997
AKA Master Jocelyn Armitage
Sibthorpe Jones esquire.
467
00:28:29,379 --> 00:28:31,917
...has been getting
into a few awkward scrapes of late.
468
00:28:32,001 --> 00:28:35,557
Daddy paid off the landlady so she'd
withdraw her eviction notice,
469
00:28:35,641 --> 00:28:37,317
not make a formal complaint
to the police.
470
00:28:37,401 --> 00:28:39,437
She found a phial of GHB
in his room,
471
00:28:39,521 --> 00:28:42,141
though he was adamant it wasn't his.
472
00:28:44,281 --> 00:28:46,661
Can we have a word?
473
00:28:48,043 --> 00:28:51,152
GHB.
It was found in your room, Joss.
474
00:28:51,237 --> 00:28:54,402
And it was also found
in Amity Roberts' bloodstream.
475
00:28:55,601 --> 00:28:59,105
Look, the GHB, it wasn't my idea.
476
00:28:59,361 --> 00:29:00,762
Valerie ordered it online.
477
00:29:00,847 --> 00:29:02,307
She ordered a date rape drug?
478
00:29:02,392 --> 00:29:04,605
We've been clubbing a lot.
And?
479
00:29:04,690 --> 00:29:07,076
It's like liquid ecstasy,
480
00:29:07,161 --> 00:29:10,652
it makes you feel euphoric,
whatever, disinhibited.
481
00:29:10,737 --> 00:29:12,691
Still doesn't explain
what it was doing in your room.
482
00:29:12,829 --> 00:29:14,905
You were sleeping with Valerie.
483
00:29:15,097 --> 00:29:16,532
On and off.
484
00:29:16,617 --> 00:29:18,191
As well as with Amity?
485
00:29:18,276 --> 00:29:19,355
Who told you that?
486
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,196
Her ex-boyfriend.
487
00:29:21,410 --> 00:29:24,262
(HE SIGHS)
It was a one-time thing with Amity.
488
00:29:24,434 --> 00:29:26,390
She'd been with Louis
for a long time.
489
00:29:26,561 --> 00:29:28,261
She fancied something new.
490
00:29:29,048 --> 00:29:30,604
So, was this part of the experiment?
491
00:29:30,689 --> 00:29:34,746
Not with Amity. She definitely
wasn't into anything like that.
492
00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:37,832
Look, I'm late for my lecture.
493
00:29:38,822 --> 00:29:41,808
Er, not so fast, Mr Jones.
494
00:29:42,004 --> 00:29:44,461
I'd like a word, if I may.
495
00:29:45,620 --> 00:29:48,840
Maybe he set the flat on fire
to create a smoke screen, you know,
496
00:29:48,957 --> 00:29:51,226
divert attention from the fact
he was flunking out.
497
00:29:51,311 --> 00:29:54,627
It's like the ultimate
dog-ate-my-homework excuse.
498
00:29:55,718 --> 00:29:58,481
You're giving me the profile
of a spoiled rich kid,
499
00:29:58,566 --> 00:30:00,322
not a reckless arsonist.
500
00:30:01,194 --> 00:30:03,171
What about Valerie Peters?
501
00:30:03,256 --> 00:30:05,732
Well, I think we discovered
the real reason she moved out.
502
00:30:05,961 --> 00:30:08,117
And maybe why she kept her key.
503
00:30:08,201 --> 00:30:10,014
How solid is her alibi?
504
00:30:10,099 --> 00:30:12,720
I'm still going through the footage,
but no sign of her so far.
505
00:30:12,805 --> 00:30:15,665
Well, then, make finishing that
a priority.
506
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:21,239
Oh, boss, what about this?
What is it?
507
00:30:21,324 --> 00:30:23,557
It's a list of unexplained fires
across the city
508
00:30:23,641 --> 00:30:26,077
that the Professor ask for.
509
00:30:26,161 --> 00:30:30,077
Email it to him, by all means,
but this is a tangled web.
510
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:33,341
Let's not get too distracted
by a burnt-out shed.
511
00:30:37,891 --> 00:30:40,517
We've checked the CCTV footage
from the porters' lodge
512
00:30:40,601 --> 00:30:41,977
at the college
where the ball was held.
513
00:30:42,062 --> 00:30:43,626
Frame by bloody frame.
514
00:30:43,711 --> 00:30:46,067
And there is no record
of you entering.
515
00:30:46,641 --> 00:30:48,149
I came in the back way.
516
00:30:48,234 --> 00:30:49,830
We spoke to the waiter
at your table.
517
00:30:49,915 --> 00:30:52,509
He said there was an empty place
throughout dinner.
518
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,236
Come on, Valerie.
519
00:30:55,321 --> 00:30:57,717
We know you've been lying to us
from the start.
520
00:30:57,802 --> 00:30:59,485
Do you recognise him?
521
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:01,954
You and Louis were in it together,
is that it?
522
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:05,337
Or did you decide to get back
at Amity all on your own?
523
00:31:06,871 --> 00:31:08,627
You must have been gutted
524
00:31:08,712 --> 00:31:11,369
to see a meal ticket
like Jocelyn Sibthorpe Jones
525
00:31:11,454 --> 00:31:12,665
slip through your fingers.
526
00:31:12,750 --> 00:31:16,066
I bet you were already planning
the wedding photos in Country Life.
527
00:31:17,235 --> 00:31:18,658
We've already got Joss on record
528
00:31:18,743 --> 00:31:21,962
saying he heard raised female voices
in the flat around nine.
529
00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:26,290
And he's very obligingly told us
it was you who ordered the GHB.
530
00:31:27,561 --> 00:31:30,532
It won't take much for us
to gain access to your bank records
531
00:31:30,617 --> 00:31:32,157
and prove it.
532
00:31:47,105 --> 00:31:51,365
(STRAINED:) Miss... Nash...
533
00:31:52,712 --> 00:31:55,617
You have amply demonstrated
your ability
534
00:31:55,702 --> 00:31:58,908
to accurately quote a definition
of Agnew's General Strain Theory
535
00:31:58,993 --> 00:32:01,379
straight from the textbook.
536
00:32:01,464 --> 00:32:03,956
However, I wonder
if I might trouble you
537
00:32:04,041 --> 00:32:07,437
for an observation
of a more personal nature?
538
00:32:07,946 --> 00:32:10,704
A... A personal insight?
539
00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:11,993
Precisely.
540
00:32:12,085 --> 00:32:14,555
One that originates from within
your own frontal cortex,
541
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,532
rather than one that has been so
transparently hijacked from another.
542
00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:25,063
Nope...
543
00:32:25,441 --> 00:32:27,181
I thought not.
544
00:32:29,561 --> 00:32:32,915
My best friend's
sister's ex-boyfriend...
545
00:32:35,841 --> 00:32:37,701
...Tyrell...
546
00:32:38,721 --> 00:32:43,277
...he had his heart set on becoming
a Premier League footballer.
547
00:32:43,368 --> 00:32:45,774
And he'd been on the books
of one of the biggest clubs
548
00:32:45,859 --> 00:32:48,095
since he was seven,
549
00:32:48,285 --> 00:32:52,921
but at 16, they let him go,
just like that.
550
00:32:54,001 --> 00:32:56,736
And he was a lovely guy.
551
00:32:56,821 --> 00:33:02,102
He was
smart, talented, respectful.
552
00:33:03,142 --> 00:33:08,407
But he's inside now.
He stabbed someone over a drug debt.
553
00:33:11,032 --> 00:33:14,923
And I think the disappointment,
554
00:33:15,041 --> 00:33:18,637
the... crushing of his dreams,
really,
555
00:33:18,845 --> 00:33:20,813
it just destroyed him.
556
00:33:23,281 --> 00:33:27,641
Turned a good man bad.
557
00:33:46,540 --> 00:33:48,048
Professor?
558
00:33:48,353 --> 00:33:49,657
How dare you?!
559
00:33:50,399 --> 00:33:53,056
DONCKERS: 'Valerie admits
to going to confront Amity
560
00:33:53,141 --> 00:33:55,454
'about sleeping with her boyfriend.'
561
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,676
WINTERS: 'And she admits
to lacing her drink with GHB.'
562
00:34:01,220 --> 00:34:03,306
She even admits to taking the photos
563
00:34:03,391 --> 00:34:06,941
and using Amity's laptop
to email them to all and sundry.
564
00:34:10,446 --> 00:34:13,917
But she swears blind she had nothing
to do with starting the fire.
565
00:34:14,001 --> 00:34:17,277
And I would lay a considerable wager
that she's speaking the truth.
566
00:34:17,501 --> 00:34:19,126
What makes you so sure of that?
567
00:34:19,579 --> 00:34:20,997
Because she is a woman.
568
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:23,237
And?
569
00:34:23,673 --> 00:34:27,277
For a wronged and vindictive
female, humiliation of her rival
570
00:34:27,361 --> 00:34:29,957
is the most desirable outcome,
not murder.
571
00:34:30,041 --> 00:34:32,595
This is the 21st century.
You can't say stuff like that.
572
00:34:32,774 --> 00:34:34,357
Nevertheless, I just did.
573
00:34:34,441 --> 00:34:38,997
So you're suggesting that sending
the nude photographs of Amity
574
00:34:39,081 --> 00:34:41,357
was a sufficient act of revenge?
575
00:34:41,441 --> 00:34:42,757
Precisely so.
576
00:34:42,841 --> 00:34:46,133
So we charge Valerie Peters with
administering a noxious substance.
577
00:34:46,218 --> 00:34:49,164
And disclosing private photographs
with intent to cause distress.
578
00:34:49,249 --> 00:34:51,445
But where does that leave us
with the fire?
579
00:34:51,677 --> 00:34:54,633
It leaves you with three
burnt-out cars, two sheds,
580
00:34:54,718 --> 00:34:57,133
and a somewhat charred
recycling bin.
581
00:34:57,328 --> 00:34:59,891
Oh, with respect,
I've looked into all those fires.
582
00:34:59,977 --> 00:35:01,259
There really is no pattern.
583
00:35:01,344 --> 00:35:02,813
There's nothing that connects them
to each other,
584
00:35:02,898 --> 00:35:04,574
let alone the fire
in the student flat.
585
00:35:04,748 --> 00:35:06,704
Then, with respect,
Detective Sergeant,
586
00:35:06,788 --> 00:35:08,504
I suggest you look again.
587
00:35:08,804 --> 00:35:10,400
Wouldn't it make better sense
588
00:35:10,485 --> 00:35:12,907
to follow up on the thing
with Jones, Ma'am?
589
00:35:12,992 --> 00:35:16,705
Amity's ex-boyfriend. We haven't
been able to rule him out yet.
590
00:35:16,790 --> 00:35:21,128
Let's run with the fresh line of
inquiry the Professor is suggesting.
591
00:35:21,706 --> 00:35:23,151
For now, at least.
592
00:35:48,999 --> 00:35:50,996
But none of them
could describe him accurately.
593
00:35:51,081 --> 00:35:53,206
They all recalled a stranger
turning up
594
00:35:53,291 --> 00:35:55,567
to report the fire
and to say that he'd called 999.
595
00:35:55,652 --> 00:35:58,003
None of them could remember what he
looked like, or even what he wore.
596
00:35:58,043 --> 00:36:00,119
He was remarkably unremarkable.
597
00:36:00,203 --> 00:36:02,527
And that, detectives,
is your pattern.
598
00:36:04,136 --> 00:36:06,207
A typical pyromaniac is...?
599
00:36:06,292 --> 00:36:09,926
Male, aged 17 to 35,
often neglected as a child.
600
00:36:10,011 --> 00:36:12,152
And above all, unobtrusive.
601
00:36:12,269 --> 00:36:13,279
A nobody.
602
00:36:13,363 --> 00:36:17,200
A frustrated nobody, in this case,
who showed promise as a child
603
00:36:17,285 --> 00:36:19,606
but has now developed
an inferiority complex.
604
00:36:19,691 --> 00:36:22,684
He starts the fires so that he can
play the hero and save the day
605
00:36:22,769 --> 00:36:25,278
and get the recognition
he thinks is being denied to him.
606
00:36:25,363 --> 00:36:26,359
Precisely so.
607
00:36:26,636 --> 00:36:28,119
It's a neat theory,
608
00:36:28,203 --> 00:36:31,082
but it doesn't get us any closer
to ID'ing our perp.
609
00:36:31,207 --> 00:36:32,983
I already know their identity.
610
00:36:36,330 --> 00:36:38,686
ECHOED: 'That's a misunderstanding.'
611
00:36:38,771 --> 00:36:43,300
'That's a Section 8 eviction notice
dated on the third of last month.'
612
00:36:43,723 --> 00:36:46,972
'So, how's the hero of the hour?'
613
00:36:47,105 --> 00:36:48,719
I'm no hero.
614
00:36:49,199 --> 00:36:53,003
For the avoidance of doubt,
I intend to pinpoint their address.
615
00:36:53,252 --> 00:36:56,675
A standard geographical
profiling technique
616
00:36:56,808 --> 00:37:00,637
for what you may term
a poacher-style criminal,
617
00:37:01,023 --> 00:37:03,020
who uses their home as a base
618
00:37:03,105 --> 00:37:06,863
from which to commit crime
in their locale.
619
00:37:15,074 --> 00:37:16,582
Oh, Professor!
620
00:37:17,315 --> 00:37:18,761
Doh!
621
00:37:19,574 --> 00:37:20,879
That was the...
622
00:37:22,472 --> 00:37:23,799
Remember?
623
00:37:23,924 --> 00:37:25,714
I do remember.
And the intervening time
624
00:37:25,799 --> 00:37:29,855
has not made that alleged jest
any the more penetrable.
625
00:37:44,189 --> 00:37:46,409
(BANGING)
626
00:37:49,089 --> 00:37:50,863
My back's killing me.
627
00:37:50,948 --> 00:37:54,574
Would you pop out to the chemist
for some of those painkillers?
628
00:37:55,534 --> 00:37:57,058
Well, what about these ones?
629
00:37:58,285 --> 00:38:00,621
They make me really drowsy.
630
00:38:01,066 --> 00:38:02,176
OK.
631
00:38:02,441 --> 00:38:04,919
Well, I'll make you a cup of tea
before I go.
632
00:38:05,003 --> 00:38:06,543
- OK?
- OK.
633
00:38:23,794 --> 00:38:25,150
You all right, Wilf?
634
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:27,644
Yeah.
635

636
00:38:40,261 --> 00:38:42,159
Would you mind coming with us
to the station?
637
00:38:42,243 --> 00:38:43,629
We've got a few questions.
638
00:38:43,714 --> 00:38:45,847
Er, I can't right now, I've...
639
00:38:45,932 --> 00:38:48,816
I've gotta go to the chemist
for my mum. It's... It's urgent.
640
00:38:53,517 --> 00:38:56,337
We can do this the hard way,
if you'd prefer.
641
00:38:58,842 --> 00:39:00,758
Yeah, yeah, OK, OK.
642
00:39:00,843 --> 00:39:02,823
This way. Come on.

than your usual targets,
wouldn't you say?

00:39:23,878 --> 00:39:27,957
Look, my mum's not well. OK?
She's sick.

'Right? I-I need to go

00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,800
I need to go back to her.

party like
it's going out of fashion.
654
00:39:46,065 --> 00:39:47,652
Look, Wilf...
655
00:39:48,249 --> 00:39:51,525
Amity's conscious and on the mend.
656
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:53,847
We know you didn't mean to hurt her,
OK?
657
00:39:53,932 --> 00:39:56,208
It'll all be taken into account
if you cooperate.
658
00:39:56,317 --> 00:39:57,750
You don't understand.
659
00:39:57,835 --> 00:40:00,683
You don't understand, because
neither of you are listening to me.

When are you planning
your next attack, Wilf?

- Can you not understand that?!
- Come on, sit down.
665

- We're not finished.
- She's not well. I need to go and see her.

00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,765
- I have already made my choice.
- You have?
701
00:42:50,850 --> 00:42:52,757
And if I remain here
conversing with you,
702
00:42:53,015 --> 00:42:54,976
I shall be late
for my first session.
703
00:42:55,919 --> 00:42:58,398
No time like the present, darling.
704
00:43:00,479 --> 00:43:02,656
Carpe diem, Jasper.
705
00:43:02,741 --> 00:43:04,077
Seize the day.
706
00:43:04,162 --> 00:43:06,694
♪ Ancora
707
00:43:06,779 --> 00:43:12,389
♪ Stringimi, vita mia... ♪
708
00:43:12,474 --> 00:43:15,934
Song continues
over restaurant speakers...
709
00:43:16,725 --> 00:43:20,561
One caramel macchiato
with extra whipped cream.
710
00:43:21,169 --> 00:43:23,054
And one normal drink.
711
00:43:29,938 --> 00:43:32,749
What? I need to get my kicks
while I can these days.
712
00:43:32,834 --> 00:43:34,254
Don't mind me.
713
00:43:35,129 --> 00:43:38,022
So, what's so important
714
00:43:38,107 --> 00:43:40,061
that we couldn't talk about it
in the office?
715
00:43:40,146 --> 00:43:42,462
Yeah, erm...
716
00:43:43,101 --> 00:43:46,413
I, er...
Come on, spit it out, man.
717
00:43:47,593 --> 00:43:50,831
Look, Paul, I wanted to ask
if you see any opportunities,
718
00:43:50,915 --> 00:43:54,014
erm, in the short term...
719
00:43:55,798 --> 00:43:58,578
...to put me forward for a promotion.
720
00:43:59,558 --> 00:44:02,578
And a pay rise, mores to the point.
721
00:44:03,871 --> 00:44:07,691
OK. I'm gonna need something
a lot stronger than that.
722
00:44:08,878 --> 00:44:10,658
Right.
723
00:44:34,978 --> 00:44:38,893
___
724
00:44:45,315 --> 00:44:47,335
(DOORBELL)
725
00:44:56,435 --> 00:44:58,655
(SHALLOW BREATHING)
726
00:45:09,041 --> 00:45:11,141
Professor Tempest?
727
00:45:12,780 --> 00:45:14,686
Dr Goldberg, I presume?
728
