1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,440
I'm going to fake my death.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,160
We'll be able to claim
the life insurance.

3
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,640
Don't let me down, now.

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,600
Police, please.

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,640
I think my husband
might be missing.

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,640
Or you could just tell the boys.

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,040
If it ever goes tits up, they'd
be implicated, wouldn't they?

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,840
He's gonna be fine.
No, sweetheart.

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,680
I think we've lost
him. I really do.

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,000
I'm afraid they are now
calling the search off, Anne.

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,920
Where is the last place anyone
would ever think of looking?

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,440
Next bloody door!

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,040
To be honest with you, Anne, this is
pretty much case closed for us now.

John!

16
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,720
For heaven's sake,
someone will see you!

17
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,800
See who?

18
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,480
I'm dead.

19
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,520
Right, come on, Dobbin.
Shake a leg, work to do.

20
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,640
We'll start with Mutual Assured.

21
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,160
I think you'll find they owe me
136,000 of your Earth pounds.

22
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,920
And you will go out through
number four, won't you?

23
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,920
Obviously.

24
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,080
And don't let them
give you any nonsense.

25
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,640
They owe us, fair and square.

26
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,560
PHONE RINGS

27
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,800
'Good morning, Assured
Mutual. How can I help you?'

28
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,880
Oh, hello, could you tell
me who I need to speak to

29
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,640
about making a life
insurance claim, please?

30
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,280
'Er, hold the line, please.

31
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600
'I'll just put you through
to the relevant department.'

32
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,000
Sadly, no, they've not found
his body yet, I'm afraid.

33
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,120
'Right. Erm, sorry, would
you mind holding again?'

34
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,040
Yes, I'll hold.

35
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,520
What do you mean, "They
need to discuss it"?

36
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,440
Just that.

37
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,960
No-body claims have their
own rules, apparently.

38
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
It's all quite complicated,
so they need to discuss it.

39
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,040
I knew this would happen.

40
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,760
You've let them bully you, Anne.

41
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,800
This was nothing to
do with being bullied.

42
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,440
These are simply their rules.

43
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080
You can't be trusted. I
should have done it myself.

44
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Oh, my God, I wish you
had bloody drowned.

45
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,240
I beg your pardon?

46
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,600
You are so selfish. Me, selfish?

47
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,280
You literally never think about
what this is like for me, do you?

48
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,320
What it's like to be terrified of
every single knock on the door.

49
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Wondering if it's
the bailiffs again,

50
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,880
or another well-wisher wanting
to give me a hug I don't deserve.

51
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,400
Or the police saying,
"We know what you did."

52
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,400
All you ever say is, "The
worst is over, love."

53
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Well, it might be for
you, but let me tell you

54
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,360
it is most certainly not for me.

55
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520
On an hourly basis,
John. On an hourly basis,

56
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,320
I am still having to
lie to my parents,

57
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000
to strangers and to our sons.

58
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,320
So for me, every day is
still utterly, utterly awful!

59
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,880
Well, I'm sorry I'm not
actually dead, Anne.

60
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,120
I'm sure you would love to have all
that insurance money to yourself.

61
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Ring Mutual Assured

62
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,800
and tell them you want a
proper meeting, face to face.

63
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,440
And don't take no for an answer.

64
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,400
And remember the boys
are coming tonight.

65
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,160
So pick up your dirty
washing, please.

66
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,280
And put the toilet seat down.

67
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,400
All I'm saying is, you read about
people, don't you, in the papers?

68
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360
People who've had a stroke or
banged their head or something,

69
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,920
and got amnesia, and they end up...
I dunno, living on the streets

70
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,800
or in some hostel or wherever, and
then they just suddenly turn up,

71
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,520
however many months later, not
knowing what the hell happened.

72
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,960
They found his canoe,
though, Ant, all smashed up.

73
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,120
Well, exactly, that's
what I'm saying.

74
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,520
What if it was smashed up because
it got hit by a bigger boat

75
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,080
and... Dad had a
head injury, but,

76
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,800
but managed to swim to shore?

77
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Well, it's certainly possible.

78
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,160
And we should never give
up hope, should we, Mam?

79
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,800
See you in the morning.
I'll see you in the morning.

80
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Right. Night, mate.

81
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Night, darling. Night, darling.

82
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Love you, Mam. I love you, too.

83
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Sleep well, all
right? Get some rest.

84
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,040
You sleep well, too.

85
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,360
'Your move, John boy.'

86
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,720
Someone

87
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,240
has been a very
naughty lady dragon,

88
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,000
and is going to be punished

89
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,120
with a smacked bottom.

90
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,000
And so, what I am here today
to tell you, Mrs Darwin...

91
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,160
DOORBELL

92
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,520
is that, unfortunately,

93
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,560
Mutual Assured is not
currently in a position

94
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080
to be able to pay out on
your husband's policy.

95
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Oh. Right.

96
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,720
I'm sorry if that comes
as a bit of a shock.

97
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,480
It does a bit,
yes. Can I ask why?

98
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,720
The problem is that you
have no death certificate.

99
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,240
But the police found
his smashed-up canoe,

100
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,680
they've closed the case.

101
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,360
As far as they're concerned,
he is definitely dead.

102
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,200
And I don't doubt it.

103
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,760
But as far as the
coroner is concerned,

104
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,640
he can't be declared dead until the
requisite period of time has passed.

105
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,280
Oh.

106
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,880
Once that period has passed,

107
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,600
and he is then able
to hold an inquest

108
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,760
and thus issue a certificate

109
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,680
then, of course, we'll be
delighted to hon our the claim.

110
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Right. And how long
might that be, then,

111
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
that requisite period,
in a no-body case,

112
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,440
how long would normally that be?

113
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,040
Roughly.

114
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,200
The standard time, in a
case like this, Mrs Darwin,

115
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,880
the usual period is seven years.

116
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,320
I'm sorry? Give or take.

117
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,680
Right. We had no idea.

118
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,600
I mean, my boys and I. We
had absolutely no... Seven?

119
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360
Oh, Lord.

120
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,760
I'm so sorry.

121
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,040
Er... afraid I have
another meeting.

122
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,280
Oh. Yes. Of course.
I'll see you out.

123
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,640
One last thing I should add.

124
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,720
If you do let the premiums
lapse during those seven years,

125
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,720
then the policy would
become void, I'm afraid,

126
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,720
with no payment due at all.

127
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,640
Death certificate or no.

128
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,840
Right.

129
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,760
Well, good day to
you, Mrs Darwin.

130
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,800
And once again, my sincere
condolences on your loss.

131
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,080
JOHN SCREAMS

132
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
You know what?

133
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,520
It's actually very simple.

134
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,120
What we need... What
you need to do...

135
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,400
Me? You need to utilise
the sympathy factor.

136
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,880
The what? People
feel sorry for you.

137
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,480
You said it last week, they think
it's awful what you've been through.

138
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,720
It is awful. So we
need to exploit that.

139
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,000
We need to use your
pain and misery

140
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,760
and the boys' grief
to get what we need.

141
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400
So...

142
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,480
So you go to them, the police,

143
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,200
and you tell them how
completely impossible it is

144
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760
for you to move
on, to get closure,

145
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,160
because you will never, ever
truly accept that I am dead,

146
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,680
until you have a death
certificate in your hand.

147
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,720
John... And then you plead
with them, you beg them, Anne.

148
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Oh, you sob and you cry,

149
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,760
and you beg them to persuade
the coroner to hold an inquest.

150
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,120
And not in seven years.

151
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,200
No, not in five, four,
three, two, one, but now.

152
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,160
Right now. In fact, you insist.

153
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,240
Because it is your right.

154
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,640
You want me to exploit people's
genuine sympathy for your benefit?

155
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,400
Well, obviously don't put
it like that, but yes.

156
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,480
And actually,

157
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,840
it's for our benefit.

158
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,080
That's nit picking,
I know, but still.

159
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,600
Every time I think you can't
sink any lower, you surprise me.

160
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,040
No, John, I will not
do it. I will not.

161
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,840
Anne... You won't
persuade me this time.

162
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,400
No. I won't. Just no.

163
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,440
So... you expect me to just
sit in that stinking room

164
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,200
for the next seven
years, do you?

165
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,240
I don't expect anything
of you, John. Nothing.

166
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,240
Well, maybe I will
turn myself in, then.

167
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,680
Maybe I'll turn myself in,
and tell them everything.

168
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,880
I wonder how long we'll get.

169
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,160
It's a white collar
crime, but still,

170
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600
be a few years, I'd imagine.

171
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,360
And you'd probably
miss Anthony's wedding.

172
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,200
BELL RINGS

173
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360
Hello. How can I help
you? Good afternoon.

174
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,200
I'm here to collect a
duplicate birth certificate

175
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,320
in the name of John Jones,
please. John Jones. OK.

176
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,760
The problem is, the only person
who can permit the coroner

177
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,360
to expedite an inquest is
the actual Home Secretary.

178
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,880
The thing is, June...

179
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,960
I just don't know
how we can move on.

180
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,360
My boys and I

181
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,920
without a body, or a certificate

182
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,120
with nothing to hold on to,

183
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,120
I just don't know how we
can ever truly... move on.

184
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,200
I will call him again.

185
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,880
Yes! She just said
she'd call him again.

186
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,280
I know, but I feel
it, Anne, I do,

187
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640
in my bones, that
we'll get there.

188
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,720
And now we have this...

189
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,280
That means I can
get a new passport,

190
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,480
and then we're flying,
love. Literally.

191
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,520
We're flying off to live
somewhere warm and beautiful.

192
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,840
Away from all this endless
bloody cold and rain.

193
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,800
And people wanting to stop you
making something of yourself.

194
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,720
And we can start again.

195
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,600
Just the two of us.

196
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Go back to how it used to be.

197
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,400
When we used to laugh
and... have hopes.

198
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,360
And were happy.

199
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,240
No?

200
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,040
And I am sorry, love,

201
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,160
that it's taken so much
longer than we thought.

202
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,640
And I do appreciate
everything you've done.

203
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,240
But I do also genuinely feel

204
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,480
that things are going to
start to get easier now.

205
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,800
I really do.

206
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,760
SHE CHUCKLES

207
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,760
'Except it wasn't nearly over.

208
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,040
'The days of waiting
turned to weeks,

209
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,280
'which turned to months, which
turned to bleak midwinter.

210
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120
'And when I wasn't
terrified of being found out

211
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,520
'by the insurance
companies...' BANGING.

212
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,640
'..I was still having to
deal with the bailiffs.'

213
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,680
BANGING

214
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,360
Are you in there, Mrs Darwin?
Can you come to the door, please?

215
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,480
'So whilst we waited for an
answer from the coroner...

216
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,320
'I spent my days trying
to fend off the banks.

217
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,680
'As John applied for a new
passport with his fake identity,

218
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,320
'and started searching the world
for somewhere we could live.

219
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:09,000
'And then it was
Christmas again.'

220
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,440
Hello! Hiya, Mam. Hiya.

221
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,600
How are you? All
right. How are you?

222
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,920
You all right?

223
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840
CRACKERS SNAP
There you are, Mam.

224
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,880
ALL CHATTER

225
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,040
OK... "What do you give
a dog for Christmas?"

226
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,160
I don't know, what do you
give a dog for Christmas?

227
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280
"A mobile bone."

228
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,960
Oh. A mobile bone. THEY CHUCKLE.

229
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,240
Do you want a top-up, Grandad?

230
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,880
Oh, yeah.

231
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,440
Er, "Why did the
pony have to gargle?"

232
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,720
MUFFLED: "Why did the
pony have to gargle?"

233
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,440
Why? Erm... dunno.

234
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,440
Because it was a little
"horse". It was a little horse.

235
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,920
Come on, we had
that one last year.

236
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,560
Looks really good, Mam.

237
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,800
To Dad. Aye.

238
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,000
To John. To Dad. To John.

239
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,960
To my boy.

240
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,200
We drove past Butler's
Hill on the way up,

241
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,960
and the snow was
starting to fall,

242
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,280
and it reminded me of that
sledge we built with Dad.

243
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Yeah. Erm... Snow Rider.

244
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Yeah!

245
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,240
How long did we
spend making that?

246
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,880
A year? And it lasted
one go. MUFFLED LAUGHTER.

247
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,360
No, no, I don't have
children. Not really my thing.

248
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,680
And after the cancer
took Anne, I guess...

249
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,000
I'm looking for the
next big adventure.

250
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,040
Professional and personal.

251
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,960
'Right. Sure. I mean...

252
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,760
'You ever thought of
investing out here?'

253
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,080
That's so funny.

254
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:55,320
Well, I think I told you
about my affinity with horses.

255
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,880
Well, it's almost a spiritual
thing, really and...

256
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,000
Mince pie? Yes, thank you, love.

257
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,920
Please.

258
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,360
How is everyone?

259
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,960
All gone now.

260
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,800
The boys had to visit Lou
and Flick's families. Right.

261
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,360
You could go too, John.

262
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,440
I'm sorry? You could go.

263
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,960
Have the life you
seem to really want.

264
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,200
This is the life I
really want, with you.

265
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,040
Is it? Yes, of course.

266
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Happy Christmas.

267
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,520
It's just a bit of
fun. It's just a game.

268
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,760
It doesn't mean anything,
it's just a game.

269
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,040
'And then, finally, in February,

270
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,840
'John got the news
he'd been waiting for.'

271
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,440
'When he first went missing,
I stayed up all night.

272
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,160
'I didn't go to bed for days.'

273
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,360
It was a nightmare.

274
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,720
And it's still going on.

275
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:32,760
I feel very much in limbo.

276
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,560
People die, they have a funeral,

277
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,240
they have a headstone.

278
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,080
There's something to mark the
fact they existed on this earth.

279
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,800
But... without a body

280
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600
I don't know how we
can mark John's life.

281
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,960
It's the same for the boys.

282
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,240
They need help to move on.

283
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,680
There was no indication, from
our extensive investigation,

284
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,800
that Mr Darwin could have staged
his disappearance in any way.

285
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,520
What we do know, however,

286
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,720
is that the canoe was barely
watertight, let alone seaworthy,

287
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,760
so we believe the most likely
scenario is the vessel sank,

288
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,960
and Mr Darwin was carried
into the shipping lanes

289
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,160
by the treacherous currents
off North Gare beach,

290
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,520
where we believe he
very sadly drowned,

291
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,720
with his body almost certainly
then being swept out to sea.

292
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,920
Sadly, we will probably never know
for sure what happened that day,

293
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,560
which is no comfort
to the family,

294
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,720
'but is why I can now
record an open verdict,

295
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,800
'and declare John Ronald
Darwin missing, presumed dead.

296

now have an opportunity

months, we received cheques

00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720

'Worked with him at Holme House
Prison, he said. Alan Hudson.'

310
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,720
I remember Alan.

311
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,840
Just walking along the
promenade, he said.

312
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,320
I mean, no-one would like him
to be alive more than me, June.

313

You've not seen anyone who you
thought... looked like him?

314
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,480
But with a beard?
But with a beard.

315
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,160
I'm really sorry, no.

316
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,080
I mean, if I did, did
you want me to call you?

317
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,520
If you wouldn't mind, at least
so as we could eliminate them.

318
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Of course, happy to
do that. Thanks, Anne.

319
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,920
I think it might be sensible
for me to go away for a bit.

320
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,360
I've been researching some business
opportunities for us in America.

321
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,360
And now I have my new passport,

322
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,000
I thought I might head
there for a week or so.

323
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Kill two birds with
one stone, as it were.

324
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,840
Could you get me some cash out?

325
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,400
Please.

326
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,640
'A part of me was almost
relieved when he left.

327
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,080
'Almost.

328
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,680
'And then just two
weeks later...'

329
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,880
KNOCKING

330
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,480
KNOCKING

331
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,800
KNOCKING

332
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,840
She told me it was a
watertight investment.

333
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,640
Stupid tart.

334
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:07,640
How much?

335
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,800
Fifty. Fifty thousand pounds?

336
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,080
Dollars. I'm not that daft.

337
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
And what else
didn't she give you?

338
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,880
It was never like that.

339
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,840
She said she had a ranch
we could invest in.

340
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,800
It was just business.

341
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,920
Can I come through? Do what
you like, you will anyway.

342
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,120
'And so that was that.

343
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,000
'And now we settled back
into a dull routine.

344
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,560
'With the next two years passing
in the opposite of a blur.

345
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,640
'John kept searching
for his dream,

346
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,480
'I kept working and saw
no-one other than family.

347
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,880
'Very occasionally, we
would fly to another country

348
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,800
'to see if we could live there.

349
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,280
'John would lose some more
money, and then we'd fly home,

350
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,960
'to drink wine on our own,
waiting for something to change.

351
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,360
'And then, finally, one day,

352
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,000
'against all the odds, it did.'

353
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,040
THUNDER RUMBLES

354
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,520
It has anonymous bank accounts,

355
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,080
it's not obsessed
with law and order,

356
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:12,720
meaning you can
actually get stuff done.

357
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,840
It's Catholic - that's
one for you there,

358
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,520
and last but not least,
it's just beautiful.

359
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,840
So

360
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,920
what first attracted
you to the low-tax,

361
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,680
high-corruption country
of Panama, John Darwin?

362
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,240
It looks very lovely, but
it's 10,000 miles away.

363
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,200
Five. It's another world.

364
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,040
Well, like I said before,
that's exactly what we need.

365
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,000
A fresh start, a
brave new world.

366
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,400
So

367
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,600
what would our life be there?

368
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Well, whatever we
wanted it to be. But...

369
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,120
I've been looking into

370
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,600
ecotourism.

371
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,000
So, we buy a plot of land
in a scenic spot somewhere,

372
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,160
near a lake or a river,
or hiking trails.

373
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,720
And we build some
cabins, one for us,

374
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,160
and others we just
rent out to tourists,

375
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,280
and then we start
advertising it.

376
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,400
Riding, swimming,
rafting. I mean

377
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,000
what a life that would be, Anne.

378
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,920
And I know that in the past,

379
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,360
I've sometimes bitten off
more than I could chew.

380
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,640
But I really think
this one is doable.

381
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,680
I genuinely do.

382
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,400
How would the boys visit?

383
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,120
I don't know, but they
visit here OK, don't they?

384
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,680
Except we'd be living
as man and wife there.

385
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,840
I presume?

386
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,480
Of course we would.

387
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,720
And as for the boys...

388
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,200
OK, so, this time,

389
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,240
I'm not going to pretend that
I've got all the answers yet.

390
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,160
But we'll work something
out, haven't we always?

391
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,480
No.

392
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,560
And if you liked the idea,
I think they'd support you.

393
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,480
I think they'd want
you... to be happy.

394
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000
What I suggest, first up,

395
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,560
we just take a holiday there.

396
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,320
Look at some land and just...

397
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,240
We play it by ear.

398
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,640
We just

399
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,800
see how it feels.

400
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,680
What do you say?

401
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,640
I need to speak to the boys.

402
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Did you not consider Alicante,
Mam, if you just wanted warm?

403
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,880
I also want a bit
of an adventure.

404
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,440
I've spent the last four years

405
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,360
rattling around that
great big house on my own.

406
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,320
Every day the same,

407
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,440
every day looking out
to where your father...

408
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,880
I just wanted a change,
a bit of sunshine.

409
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,920
I thought you'd
be pleased for me.

410
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,160
And we are, sorry.

411
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,400
I think we're a bit
surprised, that's all.

412
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,800
But it's a great idea.

413
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,680
And you're right,

414
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,480
maybe an adventure's exactly
what you need right now.

415
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,520
AIRPORT PA ANNOUNCEMENT

416
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Will you stop
bloody slowing down?

417
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,120
What if I see somebody I know?

418
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,080
Love, you're acting daft.

419
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,040
Or I'm not coming!

420
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,120
It says taxi that way. OK.

421
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,880
This is more than
5,000 miles away.

422
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,080
Wait till you see the
land we're visiting.

423
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,720
It really is out of this world.

424
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,840
And this is my wife, Karina.

425
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,120
Karina, this is Anne and
John who I told you about.

426
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,440
Oh, hello. Hello.
Lovely to meet you.

427
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,840
So, how was your trip?
Muy bueno, gracias.

428
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,120
Oh, very good.

429
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,960
You are honorary
Panamanians already.

430
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,520
That's actually all
she knows. THEY LAUGH.

431
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,640
PHONE RINGS Oh, sorry.

432
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,560
So, what's the plan, Mario? OK.

433
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,360
So, we start first
thing tomorrow,

434
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,080
there are two plots we will see in
the morning, one in the afternoon,

435
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,200
and then we will do the same
each day, so three or four a day,

436
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,200
till either I wear you out,
or you find your dream.

437
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,960
Hopefully the latter.
Sounds good? Sounds good.

438
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,320
Oh, sorry, would you mind?

439
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,320
It's just a thing we
do with our clients.

440
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,840
'Aside from the initial lie,

441
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,680
'this was easily the
most stupid thing we did

442
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:20,160
'in those five
and a half years.'

443
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,920
Annie!

444
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,800
Shake a leg, love!

445
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,080
We'll be late for
the next appointment.

446
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,000
Can't we just buy this one?

447
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,960
You said that
about the last one.

448
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,200
And all three yesterday.

449
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,680
Could we actually do this, John?

450
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,880
Do the numbers actually work?

451
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,560
I think so.

452
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,400
I need more time to go through
them all in detail, but

453
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,320
my gut tells me yes.

454
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,520
And has my gut let us down yet?

455
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,240
'Over the next two weeks,
we saw dozens of plots,

456
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,160
'through several agents,

457
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,280
'each one more
beautiful than the last.

458
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,280
'And I can't deny,

459
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,120
'I slightly started
to fall in love.'

460
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,840
And we could do
painting classes,

461
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,920
maybe get in some
local artists to teach,

462
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,320
and cooking courses,
using local produce.

463
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,120
I bet we could even grow
our own vegetables... What?

464
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,320
Nothing.

465
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,160
I'd just forgotten how pretty
you are when you smile.

466
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,240
Be quiet.

467
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,040
It's true.

468
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,320
Well, it's been a long time
since I've felt like I could.

469
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,720
And maybe I'm being stupid, letting
myself get carried away with it.

470
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,400
You're not being stupid at all.

471
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,960
I mean, I'm not saying
it'll all be easy.

472
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,160
We've got a lot of
baggage, as they say.

473
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,880
And I think we have to accept
that we can't change the past,

474
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,440
what we've done.

475
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,480
But I do wonder
if here, at least,

476
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,560
we could live alongside it
a little more comfortably?

477
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,360
Not pretend it
never happened, just

478
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,080
let other things be
important again as well.

479
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,640
Like sun. And smiles.

480
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,000
And s... Shush!

481
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,160
Which is all very
well and good, John,

482
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,360
but we do still have
two sons back home.

483
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,680
And my mam and
dad. And your dad.

484
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,360
And every time I kid myself
there could be a way forward,

485
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,200
I always come back to them.
What I've done to them all.

486
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,640
And I get that.

487
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,800
But my dad's very old,

488
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,280
not long for this world, and

489
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,920
no of fence, but yours
neither, probably,

490
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,320
as sad though it is.

491
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,720
So... that leaves the boys.

492
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,800
And here's the thing, love.

493
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,640
I listen to them
when they come up,

494
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,360
talking round the
kitchen table with you,

495
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,840
I listen to them always.

496
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,560
And let me tell you one
thing I know for sure.

497
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,400
They are happy.

498
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,240
You've done your job.

499
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,720
They're going to be OK.

500
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,000
So don't ever lose
sight of that.

501
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,320
Con gusto. Gracias.

502
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,160
De nada.

503
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,200
To happiness.

504
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,520
To happiness.

505
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,520
'We went back and forth several
times over the next year,

506
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,520
'and in the end, bought
a lovely apartment

507
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,520
'in a quiet part of the
city, overlooking the sea.

508
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,040

plot of land we liked,

509

MAN: 'ADT Bank. How can I help?'

513
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,400
Oh, hello. I hope
you can help, please.

514
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,040
I want to transfer a sum of money
from my deposit account in the UK

515
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,040
to an American bank
in Panama. 'Certainly.

516
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,920
'Would you mind
holding?' Yes, I'll hold.

517
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,640
'And then it was time
to tell the boys.'

518
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,320
And starting up your own business,
Mam, in a foreign country,

519
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,200
you feel... confident
you can do that, do you?

520
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:48,880
Look, I know it's
a lot to take in,

521
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,960
but I just can't bear the
thought of giving up already,

522
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,400
of throwing in the
towel at the age of 54.

523
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,520
I might have another
30 years in me.

524
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,280
And I think I have the right
to try to be happy again,

525
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,200
to try for a new life somewhere.

526
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:05,760
Somewhere away from the past.

527
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,840
And obviously I'll come
back and visit regularly.

528
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,280
And when I've settled, you
can come out and visit me.

529
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,560
But you've got your
lives to lead now,

530
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,360
and you don't want to be worrying
about having to drive all the way up

531
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,040
to see me every other
weekend. That is never a...

532
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,080
And you haven't ever made
it feel like a chore.

533
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,920
But I just want
you both to be free

534
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,160
to start thinking about
your own families now.

535
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:35,080
So

536
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,440
the houses are
going on the market.

537
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,360
And as soon as I've found
buyers, that'll be it.

538
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,320
I need a big change, boys.

539
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,120
To be able to move on

540
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,640
I need to be somewhere
I can forget.

541
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,720
'We managed to sell
number four in mid-2007,

542
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,920
'and then a few months later,

543
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,600
'we also found a buyer
for number three.'

544
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,680
DOORBELL RINGS

545
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,760
Haven't changed your
mind, then? Sorry, no.

546
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,240
So...

547
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,080
It's all in there.

548
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,760
Take whatever you want, or take
nothing if it doesn't feel right.

549
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,080
It's entirely up to you.

550
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,000
I'll put the kettle on.

551
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,640
All right.

552
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,240
I still miss him. Me too.

553
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,520
Miss ringing him to find out
how to build something badly.

554
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,200
Or how not to handle
a work dispute.

555
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:03,000
LAUGHING: Oh, yeah!

556
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,360
All done? Yeah, all done.

557
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,000
Good stuff.

558
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,720
So can I just ask each of
you to sign those, please?

559
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,760
It's just some
inheritance tax stuff.

560
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,960
All very boring, you
don't need to read it.

561
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,720
Sure. No problem.

562
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,720
We're always at the
end of the phone.

563
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,120
Yeah.

564
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,960
Proud of you, Mam.
Go for it, all right?

565
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,760
Enjoy yourself.

566
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,880
Totally bloody nuts.

567
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,520
Hello.

568
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,840
John?

569
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,920
Hiya, love. Lovely to
see you. How are you?

570
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,760
I'm good.

571
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,640
I'm excellent. How
was your flight?

572
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,480
Yeah, fine, thanks. Let me
get you a drink. Have a seat.

573
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,920
And how have you
been, all on your own?

574
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,560
Yes. Good. Yeah.

575
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,800
Yes? Everything OK?

576
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,360
Yeah, fine.

577
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,160
John, can you leave
that a second?

578
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,240
I'll get you a glass of that
stuff you had last time.

579
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,640
John, what's the matter?

580
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,000
Prosecco, wasn't it? John.

581
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:38,480
OK.

582
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:43,360
We might have a little problem.

583
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,200
What sort of a little problem?

584
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:48,400
And this is absolutely
not my fault

585
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,600
because they only just changed
the rules a few months ago

586
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,800
so there was literally no
way I could know about it.

587
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,960
What sort of a problem?

588
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,320
To get permanent
resident status here now,

589
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,960
you have to have a signed
letter from a police force

590
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,800
in your country of origin,
attesting to your good character.

591
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:12,840
Which is obviously a bit tricky,

592
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,440
given that my character
doesn't actually exist.

593
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,760
So you're saying we
can't actually live here?

594
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,880
Not literally, no.

595
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,880
Oh, my God, John. I know.

596
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,440
How could you have missed that?

597
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,720
There was so much else
I had to deal with.

598
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,080
And you found this out when?

599
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,600
After I got on the plane? I
mean, when did you find this out?

600
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,800
Actually, a few weeks ago.

601
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,560
And you didn't
think to tell me?!

602
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,520
To maybe stop me shipping
all our possessions out here?

603
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,880
Yep, fair play.

604
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,760
I could have been a bit
more reactive there, but

605
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,560
to be honest, I was just so
preoccupied with the land deal.

606
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,880
What land deal? The
land we saw, love.

607
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,640
The land we agreed to buy.

608
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,680
I remember that land deal, John. Of
course I remember that land deal.

609
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:02,600
But you obviously
wouldn't spend $400,000

610
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,720
on that land deal,
if you'd just learned

611
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,000
you couldn't actually live
or work here, would you?

612
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,240
Only a mad man would
do that, wouldn't they?

613
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:12,400
It was a bargain.

614
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:13,800
No.

615
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,760
No.

616
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,720
You're frustrated,
and I get that.

617
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,440
It's obviously disappointing
for both of us.

618
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,960
But everything happens
for a reason, Anne,

619
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
and this has actually
given me room to think.

620
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,440
Because in truth, I'm fed up
of skulking in the shadows.

621
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,560
I want to be able to see the
boys again, as their dad,

622
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:43,040
and for us to live normally, out
in the open, as man and wife.

623
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,720
So

624
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,240
I'm going to fly back to the UK.

625
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,600
I'm going to present
myself to the police,

626
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,080
and I am going to tell
them I've had amnesia.

627
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,280
Because bottom line, love
