had their worst fears confirmed.

The discovery of...'

HEAVY RAIN, WIND BLOWS

her one-year-old daughter with
her mother for the weekend.'

HEAVY RAIN, WIND BLOWS,
PLASTIC RATTLES IN THE WIND

Hello, Ben.

It's so awful.
I know. I can't believe it.

'First of all, James,
what's the latest?

'Well, I'm standing here
on the edge of the Hackney Canal
and you can see behind me...'

Ah, ah...

Ben... Elisa.

CAR HORN BLARES

Ben!

BRAKES SCREECH

You can open your eyes.
Slowly, it's OK.

You're in hospital.
You've been in hospital for a week.

You were in an accident.

Elisa!

Elisa! Elisa!

ON TV: 'In the last few minutes,
police have confirmed

'that they are treating the death of
Lauren Parris as a murder inquiry.

'The singer's body was found
floating in a canal near her home
in East London earlier today.

'Detectives are hoping that CCTV
footage of her last known movements
may help them find her killer.

'James Stephens has been
following events and joins us now
from beside the Hackney Canal

'where police divers recovered
Lauren's body this morning.

'James, what's happening there now?
Well, as you can see behind me,
mourners are beginning to gather...'

My wife's dead.

WATCH TICKS

I don't know why
I'm seeing you again.

Perhaps because
I helped you last time.

Are we started?

That's up to you, don't you think?

You can draw, if you like.

Is it similar
to when you lost your parents?

Don't you get tired of
talking about my parents?

All we ever do is talk
about my parents,
let's talk about your parents.

My parents are dead.

So are mine. I know.

No, no, it's not similar.
It's not similar to anything!

What do you mean by that?

All these...
grieving people, this...

You just...

It makes me feel sick!

You know I can't, I can't...
get any space, I can't breathe.

All these tears for someone
they don't even know.

It must be hard seeing all these
people grieving for Lauren Parris
like no-one cares about your loss.

I never expected anyone
to care about my loss.

I haven't heard a thing
from her family.

Perhaps they don't have
my new number.

That's always been this thing
about, um...

They never liked me.

It's as simple as that.
Now since this...

Now since the, erm...

That's no surprise, really. Is it?

You mean because you were driving?

I mean because I survived.

Ben! Ben!

KNOCKING, HE GASPS

A DOOR IS UNLOCKED

ON TV: '..and yet scared
about these small details.

'For fear if I fell asleep I might
swallow something poisonous.

'The fear some number or fact or
word will start to grow in my brain

'until there is no more room
inside my head.

'The fear that I may start

screaming in the middle of the night

and that no-one will come.

'It will be an echo
behind closed doors.

'An echo a child would hear
when doors were kept shut.

'It sometimes crept ajar
and through the crack in the door,

'the night climbs in illuminating
shadows in the forbidden room.'

TRAIN RUMBLES PAST OUTSIDE

Entrance to the old morgue.

It's just a cellar though, really.

So...if you want me
to keep anything down here,

you just let me know.

As long as you trust Alison Brody,
that is.

The orderlies...they, er,
used to sign the names of...

..all the people
they brought down here.

I'm Roland, by the way,
I'm the caretaker.

And...action!

REPORTER: Where she went next is
still unknown and that's the mystery

police believe this reconstruction
could help solve.

Detectives are hoping that
someone, somewhere will have their
memory jogged and come forward

with information that will
lead them to Lauren's killer.

Hey! Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa...

Easy friend, it's me. Tommy.

Are you OK? Good to see you.
How are you doing?

All right, you OK? Yeah.
What are you doing round here?

I've just moved back,
up the road. Yeah?

What are you fucking staring at?
Huh?

Go to your fucking parents!

CHILDREN SHOUT BACK

Bastards! They've robbed my shop
twice this week...for meth.

To drink, do you believe that?

Actually, it tastes quite nice.

I see you've developed quite
a thing for beige. Hey!

It's biscuit brown.

Whatever the fuck that is.

So are you gonna give me a hand?

I meant to talk to you about
that, actually. No, no...

No, no can do! I'm not asking
for full-time or anything.

I'll do as I'm told.
Have a look around you.

Look, I'm not exactly
raking it in here.

I think it's very nice.
I tell you what,

why don't you pop next door and ask
Brenda to put the tea on? Go on.

There's no-one here. Exactly!
I had to let Brenda go.

So...did you say you've
moved in up the road?

Yes, I'm just, you know...trying
to make a new start. Oh, aye.

Elisa was killed.

Jesus, Ben, I...
It was an accident. I was driving.

You should have phoned.
I would've gone to the funeral.
I didn't go. No, I was hurt.

I was, er... I was in a coma.

Could they not have waited for you,
or something? Yes, they could.

You know, I think her
sister organised it all.

God, Carrie?

I can't believe she'd do
something like that.

It was filmed for me, though.
What?!

I don't know what the minister
must have thought.

You know what she's like, everything
on a grand scale. Gospel choir.

Someone released a cage of doves
in the churchyard.

I tell you what...

I'll bring you in for the big jobs.

That way we'll get them
done quicker. How's that?

Thanks, Tommy.

Let's have a drink,
we'll celebrate.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Oh, hi...

I was just gonna...
You left me the sugar.

Yeah, for coffee or whatever.

I'm sorry, it's a bit corny.

You don't drink coffee, do you?

No.

Well, I do. But I don't take sugar.

Erm, I'm sorry the place
isn't in better shape. What?

I'm the sort of landlady.

The sort of landlady?
It's a terrible word. Erm...

Yeah, I mean, I look after the place
for my dad. He's into conversions.

I'm Charlotte. And you're Ben.

Yes, that's right.

Well, I better be going.

I promise not to leave dishes
on your doorstep again,
not unless it's really important.

Erm...

I take sugar in tea.

BOTH DOORS CLOSE,
HE PUTS THE DOOR CHAIN ON

# I never thought
I'd see you again

# Without you until now

# Well, how are you?

# How have you been?

# It's a long time since

# We last met... #

A COUPLE ARGUES

Listen to me, Ben, please.
You don't bloody listen!

You don't bloody listen!

Because you don't bloody listen.

It's not uncommon,
especially if you are tired.

Your brain is so used to her being
around that it translates sounds
or sights into images of her.

I wasn't even that used
to her being around.

She was just going away
with work a lot, that's all.

It's a good thing.
It's healthy, isn't it?

What?

It's just, erm...

I've just never really adjusted,
I always felt like I was...

missing out, missing the show,
you know.

It's pathetic!

She needed it. Ahem...

So...it was like having
a bodyguard between us.

And how do you feel about that now?
Great, yeah, really good(!)

You know what we did
the day she died?

We argued in the car.

I can't remember
what was said, but...

I really loved her.

And how did she feel about you?

Probably like I wasn't paying
enough attention to the road.
Do you think...?

I'm not doing that,
I'm not doing that.

She loved me, I know.

Good.

We're having a beer tonight, down
the pub. I won't tonight, thanks.

You getting out the way?

You still got that studio
in Rathwell Street?

Er, no. It's...

It's like everything else,
being redeveloped.

What about the ants?
Are you still doing the ant thing?

Christ, man. You've been
doing that since art school.

You're definitely a tad peculiar.

What? Um...

I bumped into Carrie yesterday.
Oh, Christ...

What was that like? Oh, it was fine.

Fine. You know, I was just...

Well, I told her we were

working together and, you know,

and I gave her my condolences and...

You know, she was just...

She was a little weird.
She is weird.

It's like she's in denial.
She didn't want to talk about it.

She was really short with me.
You know, I just...

I don't know. Weird.

CONGREGATION: Lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil,

for thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,

forever and ever, Amen.

Yes, OK. I am being pulled.
I am being pulled...here.

Here I am receiving...

You. You and you. Yes, both of you.

I feel an impact. It was sudden.

I feel a younger energy.

It was your son.

Yes, he wants me to tell you
that there was a moment
when he had a choice.

He was a very athletic young man.
He won medals.

He thought he could
do anything he wanted to.

He used to say that he would
rather die than be disabled.

In the hospital...

In the hospital, he was aware.

He was aware, everybody around
telling him to fight, to hold on.

He wants you to know there was
a moment he had a choice.

And he chose to go.

Understand that.

Understand that.

I leave his love with you.

I just like going...
I don't know why.

Watching the people,
the sense of relief they get.

I suppose that's what it is.

It's amazing.

Why did you invite me?

Well...I'm really good at
sensing things, seeing things.

I can sort of see your pain,

in your aura.

And I've also sort of seen your
apartment application form.

It took me a long time
to tick that box.

It didn't seem right, somehow. It
just didn't feel like me, you know.

Widower. It's just... Yeah.

I wanted to show you that,
you know, life goes on.

That there's such a thing
as the soul.

Well, I wanted to try, anyway.

There were cracks.

I didn't have you down for a...

I mean, I wasn't sure if you
were an animal lover.

They're interesting.

You see, that's the queen, sitting
on her eggs, surrounded by guards.

They all have different jobs.

Soldiers, foragers, cleaners...

Nurses. Their social behaviour
is very similar to humans.

Though they'd never kill their own.

Sorry. I used to study entomology
before I went to art school.

I was just never interested enough
in the science of it, so I quit.

I don't know how you do it.

I mean, ants are one thing,
but all those other...

I'm positively allergic to spiders.
No-one's allergic to spiders.

I am.

I can prove it to you, if you like.

Yeah, that sounds like fun(!)

My aunt was called Charlotte.

So what's all this about? Oh, um...

You wear this for good health
and spirit. It's very good
for a sore throat.

And why's that?

It's the colour blue.

People have done it for years.

Does it work? I think so.

A WOMAN SOBS

'And a lot of people are very upset,
very bereaved. Very depressed.

'What does Lauren Harris mean to you?

'Did she touch your life in some way?

'Nick, I know you were a great fan

of Lauren's, weren't you?

Yes, she was certainly a star.

'I mean, she was well respected
amongst the music community.'

I don't know.

We humans are a lot more
complicated than you think.

I mean, it's commonly believed
that we only use 10% of our brain.

Some of us even less.

Maybe the rest is for a higher form
of movement, thought, communication.

You know? That sort of thing.

And some people can read your mind?

Oh, yeah. Every woman!

RATTLING BEHIND THE WALLS

Jesus Christ. I think they need
plumbers down here, not painters.

You want a cup of tea?
Yeah, thanks.

You know,
there's something to that ESP.

Some people just know stuff
they shouldn't know.

So do you think that's
what mediums use?

Do you think they don't
really talk to spirits?

Well, maybe they can access parts
of the brain that we can't.

Communicate on a different level.

Maybe even with the dead.
I'm not saying I believe it.

But it's not impossible.

ON RADIO:
'Let's play a little bit of music.'

You know that she received
the most official condolences
for any official music star?

Still.

It must be weird for you,
because you knew her.

Well, Elisa knew her.

There you go, mate.

Cheers. You OK?

Cheers, mate.

# I don't care if I ever know

# There I go... #

KNOCK ON DOOR

KNOCKING CONTINUES

Benjamin Slater? PC Jackson.
Can I come in?

What made you move house?

What's this about?
Where were you on March 17th?

Are you investigating
the insurance?

I was in an accident.
Your name's come up.

Since we aired the reconstruction
of Lauren Parris' murder.

You're also caught on camera
at the reconstruction following it.

Do you know, a lot of criminals
go to the reconstructions
of their crimes?

It's a bit like watching a theatre
play you've written, I suppose.

You wouldn't want to miss it.

Of course, there's also a wide
variety of nutters, stalkers,

obsessives turning up
at reconstructions.

So why did you move?

I mean, to only a couple
of hundred yards

from where Lauren Parris
was last seen?

Do you know how she died?

The canal.
That's where she died.

She was beaten to death,
and strangled,

and suffocated.

As if the guy was trying
to kill her three times over.

Strange.

I was in a coma from the accident.

So, what's your thing?
Do you love her or hate her?

I don't have a thing.
Course you don't.

Where do you keep your scrapbook?

Sorry? Your scrap book.

Photos, cuttings, articles.

It isn't illegal. Not that alone.

Right. I've got a thousand
other punters to deal with.

'Police are today hoping
that a reconstruction

'of the last known movements
of Lauren Parris will
help them catch her killer.

'It's now two weeks since the body
of the singer was found floating
in a canal in East London,

'and so far it appears that the
police have made little progress
in their investigation.

'Where she went next is
still unknown.

'That's the mystery police believe
this reconstruction could help solve.

'Crucially, police are anxious to
trace this man, seen in the market

'at the time of
Lauren's disappearance.

'He was wearing a beige parka.

'Witnesses reported he seemed
unsettled and agitated.'

I've got pictures of
the murder scene, mate.

GLASS CRACKS,
HE GASPS

Elisa! Ben.

Your hand's bleeding.

You OK?

My hand's bleeding.

Do you want to talk
about this landlady?

How do you know about her?

You mentioned her, earlier.

Did I?

What's her name?

Charlotte. Ah, like your...
Like my aunt, yeah.

And what do you think about that?

What do I think about it?

I'm sorry, I don't think anything
about it. What am I meant to think?
What do you think about that?

I wonder if you'd like to...show me
what you've been drawing. Do you?

Something's bothering you.

You're bothering me.

So you still think of
Charlotte as your aunt?

I used to think of her as my mum.

She was the closest thing
I had after mum died.

And how do you feel about that now?

I don't feel anything. She left.
That's life, you know?

She left.

She was homesick.

Does that sound right? She was only
ever staying for a year, wasn't she?

You were only six. You'd just
lost your parents. Stop it!

Can I see what you've drawn? No.

Are we allowed to be in here?

I used to work here.

That's not what I asked.

So what's with Roland?

He's not that bad.

He kind of came with the building.

He was a caretaker
when it was a hospital.

He's full of stories.

He loves the morgue, doesn't he?
I don't go down there.

Because of dead people?
Because of the spiders.

Right, might as well take
a look at it now you're here.

OK, I've looked at it.

What was my flat?

It was just a ward.

This is plastic. It's plastic.

Now you have to try to hold it.

Just think of it
like your blue crystals.

Which, by the way, won't work
as well as nicotine patches.

SHE LAUGHS

Hold out your hand.

Close your eyes.

God, I feel ridiculous.

Now, then, you have
to pretend this is real.

OK.

OK, stage one complete.

Charlotte.

Elisa.

Ben! Ben!

Don't be stupid, Ben! Ben!

OK. OK now, right.

Yes, I am receiving.

Yes, I am receiving. I am being
pulled, I am being drawn...

I am being drawn.

I am being drawn.

I'm receiving. I am being drawn.

I am being drawn.

Yes. Yes.

Yes, here. Here.

There's somebody in two minds here.

Grieving, I get grieving.

Strong mother figure.

Very concerned about
her son, Benjy.

Benjy, yes.

Yes, yes. You're not happy
about losing your wife.

You were parted not long ago?

So much death in your mind!

So much death!

I'm getting a very clear A.

A. E. E. L?

El-Elise? Eliza? Elisa.

Elisa. Elisa is your wife, yes.

Ben, Elisa hasn't passed over.

Elisa's not dead.

No.

ELISA: Ben!
CHARLOTTE: Ben...

Ben!
Who the fuck do these people...?

You people!

This is life you're playing with!

Who are you?

And who the fuck is she?

Ben, please.

What did you expect?

Did you think it would help?
I mean, do you want to get better?

Well, it's not like I'm ill.

Is it?

I just...I just want to move on.

Then you'll have
to stop looking back.

I helped you when you lost your
parents and I'm helping you know.

But you have to trust me.

And that means not listening to...

Anyone else?

Why don't you tell me more
about Charlotte?

She's nice.

She's nice.

SHE GIGGLES

And she's, erm...

She's too nice, too trusting.

I don't think she's ever lived
a normal life.

Do think you've lived
a normal life? Oh!

If only! Do you think
maybe there's a part of you

that would like to lead
an unreal life, like hers?

Don't start with that.

I'm only asking if you think
she's an escape from reality.

HUBBUB

That's £5.

Are you interested
in collecting things, then?

What the hell does that mean?

What the hell does that mean?
I didn't...

I didn't buy anything.
You bought other stuff.

You must be desperate. We are.

I'm just interested -
most people are.

Most people are not interested in
buying pictures of the murder scene.

Why are you wasting your time on me?

Because we don't know yet

whether Lauren Parris was killed
before or after your car crash.

She went missing two days
before you went into your coma -

a detail which you were
rather economical with.

And as I'm sure you know,
her body was so badly...

You've got a bit of a history
of stalking, haven't you?!

PANTING

Lissa!

WOMAN GASPS

Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Oi, where d'you think...?
Lissa! Lissa! Lissa!

'Ere, get back!

How about an apology, for a start?

Don't you think you're missing
the point? What's the point?

Well, she's supposed to be dead,
isn't she?

Would have thought
you'd be interested in that.

I mean, it's illegal, isn't it?

Look, I don't want her
in any trouble, I'm just...

Just let me talk to her.

Take me to where she's living -
I know you know.

Is this your wife?
We found it in your wallet.

Yeah.

Is this your wife, too?

No. No idea who that is.

It's a photograph of the woman
you were following.

I've just said,
I've no idea who that is.

That old hospital you live in,

you know that's where
Lauren Parris was born?

HE CHUCKLES

I thought you'd known that, all
those newspaper articles you keep.

I'd like to take a little peep
at your studio.

Rathwell Street, right?

Er, no, it's being redeveloped.
It's not my studio any more. Ah.

Bet you miss it, don't you?

You have no right
to be assessing me.

I've seen someone already - you
want to know anything, you ask him.

I don't need to.

What? You still don't see yourself
as a stalker, do you?

Look, I don't know how
it's possible, either. I don't...

But if you can't trust
your eyes, I mean...

I mean, what can you trust?

Sorry?

I don't know, I don't know.

Do you only believe
in what you can see?

HEARTBEAT THUMPS

Do you believe in love?

Just relax.

Close your eyes.

BIRDS TWITTER

Carrie... Can I speak to you?

I know you don't want to see me.

Just give me a minute.
It's about Elisa.

I'm not sure she's dead.
What are you talking about?

You're not sure she's dead now?

Just, if there's a chance
that I might...

No, Ben, stop it.

You're right,
I don't want to see you.

There's no chance.

No chance, OK?

Now, leave us alone
and get on with your life.

"Leave us alone".

That's what Carrie said.

She said leave "us" alone.

Leave us alone.

You think she meant Elisa?

No.

Who, then?

Anyone who's not you?

I'm not paranoid.

Is Charlotte part of us,
do you think?

What does she get
out of all of this?

Don't know.

I don't know.

'Earlier today, Lauren's manager,
Emery Jones, made this appeal.

'Obviously at this stage,
police investigations are ongoing.

'But really, all our thoughts
are with the family, and the fans.

'What I would say...

'Whoever you are,

'you can't hide.

'You're not invisible.'

KNOCK ON DOOR

'You can't hide.'

Hello, Ben.

BEN GASPS

At first, I felt sorry for you.

Then I thought you was a nuisance.

Then you got worse.

Then you disappeared.

Now I don't feel sorry
for you at all.

You need to let people grieve.

Let yourself grieve.

Elisa's dead. Dead. Yes.

GOSPEL SINGING

Listen, I don't have anything
to do with Lauren Parris.

Get a grip, Ben! You're fucked,
I was right! Carrie was right.

I don't know why you're here.
To tell you to stop.

For Elisa's sake.

Yes. You made her life a misery.

Get a grip, Ben.

Is Elisa dead or alive,
do you think?

What's wrong with me?

What d'you mean? I want you
to tell me what's wrong with me.

You know,
this isn't just in my head.

I may be a little bit confused,
but somebody is playing with me.

Rearranging my things,
rearranging my head!

Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, in here.

I mean,
there's her face on the wall.

OK? Covered in black paint!

That's there, I've seen it.

There's the photo album,
burnt, yeah? Gone.

Those are things!

What the hell is that?

How the hell am I supposed to...

accept my grief
with that shit going on?

Do you want to accept your grief?

What does that mean?

It was open.

I was worried you may be...

What?

I'm afraid I have to go.

Oh.

Well, the outside aerial's fixed.

I know.

So, when's stage two
of my spider training?

Are you around later?

CHILDREN CHATTER

What are you doing here, Ben?

Carrie, you have to tell me
what you know.

What? About Lauren Parris.

I don't know who else to ask.
Ben, please...

Carrie, I need help. I need help.

I need to know what you know. I
don't remember, I just... Carrie...

Look, Ben, if you start,
I can call the police.

I think I might have been the one.

What?

Right, look.

Look in here, look.

Back of the photos, me.

I'm scared, Carrie.

I'm scared that it was me. I've had
the police asking me questions.

You're a lot of things, Ben,
but you're not that.

I've been living
with this obsession.

I don't know how long
it's been going on.

I don't know when it start...
Ben...look at the photo.

You're not facing Lauren Parris.

You're gazing off somewhere.

You were obsessed with Elisa.

You followed her everywhere.

You couldn't accept
that it was over.

It was never over.

You really don't remember?

They met
when she was dancing for Lauren.

I'm sorry, Ben.

Ben...

'Come on, Ben, who's Charlotte?'

What? Try to remember
when you lost your parents.
Who became your new mother, Ben?

What are you talking about?
Who did you replace her with?

I don't know.
Who's Charlotte, Ben?

I don't know what you're asking me.

What was the book you couldn't stop
telling me about as a child.

Don't remember.
It was Charlotte's Web.

Who was the mother figure?
Charlotte.

You've got them confused, Ben.

So, who is Charlotte now?

You were referred to me last time

because you couldn't cope
with the loss of your mother.

This time, you came to me
because you're not coping
with the loss of your wife.

Who's Charlotte?

Who is she, Ben? Is she your aunt?
Did you find her in a book?

So, are you saying Charlotte is a
replacement for Elisa? Is that it?

Huh? Are you saying I created her?
Are you saying she doesn't exist?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Charlotte... Cha... Charlotte...

Charlotte, I really think it's
better

that we don't see each other again.

KNOCK ON DOOR

WOMAN: Ben.

Charlotte...

Ben, it's me.

Elisa.

I'm sorry.

I've come to explain.

You've been telling people
that I'm dead,

that I was in a car crash.

But I wasn't in that car with you.

You know that.

I did see you that day
and I was in the car,
but we were just fighting again.

Lauren was missing, I was frantic,
I wasn't in the mood.

BEN SOBS

You left me. D'you remember?

You left me in the middle
of nowhere, in the pouring rain.

RAIN PATTERS, HORN BLARES

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

I had one shoe on.

What was I supposed to do?

I was soaking wet in the night.

I thought you'd come back.
But you just kept driving.

Ben! Ben!

Ben!

I couldn't believe
you'd just abandon me. Elisa...

I came to see you in the hospital.

You were just watching report
after report on Lauren's murder.

I thought you were dead...
I thought you were dead. I know.

And I shouldn't have let you believe
it. I'm sorry. It was just...

It was easier, Ben.

You were making my life a misery.

Emery! You sent round Emery!
You sent round Emery! No.

I didn't know, Ben.

He's hurting.

He and Carrie thought they
were doing the best thing for me.

I am sorry.

Really.

So... Who's Charlotte?

Is she nice?

No...

No, she's...she's no-one.

Literally.

I should go.

No...

No. No, Ben.

Please. It wasn't... It wasn't
always so bad, was it, with us?

It wasn't all shit, was it? Was it?

Was it?

You've been doing this
your whole life.

Not to this extent, but...

It's like... It's like telling
people you quit art school.

You failed.

Or that you resigned
from your job at the museum.

You deny it to yourself

and then you start believing
something totally different.

Just don't go now.

Charlotte...

Charlotte won't come.
She's, erm... She won't come.

Or if...

I'll get rid of her.
I will, I'll get rid of her.

Mostly, I'm all right now.

I know what's real and, erm...

I'll prove it to you.

You prove it to yourself, Ben.

BELL TOLLS

'It's a month since the nation
mourned the death of Lauren Parris.

'And as time passes, so the
pressure mounts on the police

'to find the singer's killer.

'The pain felt by so many
will not go away

'whilst her murderer
remains at large.

'Detectives say that they've had
a good response

'to the reconstruction
of Lauren's last known movements,

'but are still lacking
that vital piece of information
to make a breakthrough.'

KNOCK ON DOOR

Sorry I'm late.

Why are you here?

Stage two.

Come with me.

Ben...

Ben!

WATER DRIPS

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

EERIE DISTORTED SPEECH ON SOUNDTRACK

Ben!

BANGING

Ben!

You... You knew all along that
Elisa was alive, didn't you?

I mean, you knew like I knew.

You're the side of me
which has always failed.

D'you think if you look
hard enough, you can see...words?

Yeah.

Charlotte...

Charlotte.

Charlotte...

You look...

You look so good,
you're so beautiful.

It's just a shoe.

Just a shoe.

Ben...

You trust me? I don't know
if this is such a good idea.

Trust me... Trust me.

Come on. You and me.

OK.

Close your eyes.

Ben... What?

No, I've got to go. Are you OK?

I thought you were coming back
to work today.

Sorry, I just... I had to tell you.

I thought you'd want to know.

I do.

I realised that was it, you know.

I...had a choice, didn't
have to just let things...happen.

I could...

I could take control.

I knew that I didn't have to let
this be a part of my life any more.

You were right.

You realised you had a choice.

Yeah.

MUFFLED GASPING

HE CRIES OUT

CLOCK TICKS

It's OK...

It's OK.

I mean, she's gone, I know that.

She's gone.

I'll just have to move on.

She's dead.

I mean, she's dead.

Lissa's dead.

'A man is in police custody today,

'charged with the murder
of Lauren Parris.

'The arrest of Gareth Cawood

'follows one of the biggest
murder investigations

'that's ever been mounted
in Britain.

'Lauren's body was found floating
in an east London canal last month

'after she went missing

'He will appear

'At 10.30am this morning,

'Gareth Cawood, 27 years old,

of Flat 3,
42 Princeton Avenue, Hackney,

'was charged with the murder
of Lauren Parris.

'He'll be appearing before
Thames Magistrates' Court...'

Do you want to tell me
what happened? Why?

You fitted the profile.

No job.

Loner.

Obsessive.

I didn't think
that made you a killer.

Charlotte.

That was her name.

I know.

# Every day I spend my time

# Drinking wine

# Feeling fine

# Waiting here to find a sign

# That I can understand

# Yes, I am

# In the days between the hours

# Ivory towers, bloody flowers

# Stick their heads into the air

# I don't care if I ever know
There I go

# Don't push your love too far

# Your wounds won't leave a scar

# Right now is where you are

# In a broken dream

# On the pad before my eyes
Paper cries

# Telling lies

# The promises you gave
from the grave of a broken heart

# Every day I spend my time
drinking wine, feeling fine

# Waiting here to find a sign

# That I can understand

# Yes, I am

# Don't push your love too far

# Your wounds won't leave a scar

# Right now is where you are

# In a broken dream. #
