I'd watched you struggling to cope with your study 140 00:09:25,060 --> 00:09:28,280 there, helping me. You would have done that, and I appreciated it. But Dad, 141 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,100 living at home, and you having to see to him as well, it was too much, you 142 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:33,680 realise that?

That, as you call it, is living 146 00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:44,160 with his sister by the sea. She may not be Florence Nightingale, but at least 147 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,340 she has the time to devote to him. Oh, so as far as you're concerned, he's all 148 00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:49,120 right. He's happy. Now, you are talking like a teenager. 149 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,180 You come up against a problem, no easy solution, so you strike out in all 150 00:09:53,180 --> 00:09:54,180 directions. 151 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:01,540 Look, my father has led an active, independent life. He hates the idea of 152 00:10:01,540 --> 00:10:02,540 a burden. 153 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,640 He's never going to be happy having to rely on other people. You wouldn't be 154 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,920 happier having to rely on you. 155 00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:14,760 A situation like this is not a 156 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,580 question of who's right or wrong. 157 00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:24,880 You know what to do for the bed. 158 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,300 Let's get you back to town. 159 00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,340 Don't look now, but I think Jake just arrested somebody. 160 00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:51,860 He's got that devil in him since he went in front of the board for D .I. 161 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,340 How did he get on? 162 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,460 Oh, he went swimmingly, according to him. 163 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,760 Heard any whispers? 164 00:10:56,940 --> 00:10:58,260 I think he may have dropped a brick. 165 00:10:58,700 --> 00:10:59,700 Such as? 166 00:10:59,740 --> 00:11:03,120 There's a deputy commander on the board who's got a thing about statistics. Now, 167 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,900 he's rapping on about something like, every 84 minutes in the Greater London 168 00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,140 Area, a woman is being raped or mugged. And he asked Jake for his comments. 169 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,139 Jake says? 170 00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:13,760 She must be getting a bit bloody fed up. 171 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:15,499 Did they laugh? 172 00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:16,500 Not a chitter. 173 00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:19,740 Typical hard -nosed Brit, bloody.

Thought he looked a bit suspicious. 184 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,820 Well, it's a bit fishy, I see that. 185 00:11:48,060 --> 00:11:50,480 His name is Leo Ernst. That is correct. 186 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,580 Out of order, Beat Constable. Oh, he's ignorant. 187 00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:56,680 He tells me that Leo here and a friend...
