LINGLEY: Emfleet Nick just called,

they've got suspected
human remains

found in Whitney Marsh.

My guess is this body was put
in there already dismembered.

JESS: To what do I owe this?
I just thought you'd... like it.

Why did my husband cook me sea bass?

So you now just attack random girls
for literally no reason at all?

She made a joke about you and Dad.
Sorry, Dad.

And happy birthday.

I'm getting stronger every day.

So he will never walk unaided?
Come on.

HASSAN: I have a watertight case.

Given my story, I can prove that
I will be killed if I went back.

SUNNY: We have a match. So, his name
is Gerard Samuel Cooper.

The OIC on the case was
actually jailed in 2022.

A guy that I charged myself,
a guy called Ram Sidhu.

# All we do is hide away

# All we do is
All we do is hide away

# All we do is lie and wait

# All we do is
All we do is lie and wait

# I've been upside down

# I don't wanna be
The right way round

# Can't find paradise on the ground

Like I said,
I don't know this guy personally,

but everyone says he's fine.

So as long as you work hard
and do the job,

he's not interested
in anything else.

You finish at five today, OK?
I'll be waiting for you here.

Thank you.
Have a good day, my friend.

MAN: 'Question 15: how many
royal parks are there in London?'

So, he was identified through
comparison with a DNA swab taken

after he was charged
with a Section 47 ABH

on July 16th 2019.

All of his files are on COMPACT,

and a quick squint suggests
they thought he had fallen into debt

during the pandemic.

His car was found parked
near the Elizabeth Bridge

two weeks after he was reported
missing by his wife,

who we will be speaking to asap.

We will also be speaking
to DCI Ram Sidhu,

the original investigating officer.

So, right now,

I need all the original
investigation paperwork

inputted into HOLMES, please.
Yeah.

Ditto with the 2019 assault.
Guv.

And can we check who maintains
Whitney Marsh Car Park CCTV,

how long they keep
their video files?

And if there's any data entry
at the car park

or pay online facilities?
Sure. On it.

OK, that's it for now, guys.
Thanks, guys.

You told me to tell them to shove it
up their arse.

Of course I didn't tell them that.
So what did you say?

That you were considering
their request. Fuck sake!

It's the union, Jules,

it's not a good idea
to back them into a corner.

And it doesn't scare you
that even soft soaping them,

dishonestly, as it happens,

even that merest hint of dissent

has caused my board
to be daubed with "racist"?

Ah, it's obviously not ideal, but...

But what?

They effectively pay our salaries.

Oh, well, yeah,

and what a catastrophic
fucking mistake that was.

We're now all
in the thrall of sodding children.

I mean,
think back to when you were 21.

Yes, exactly.

I mean, seriously, Paul,

they don't understand real life yet,

with all its shit compromises and...

and messy, imperfect solutions.

And surely... part of our job
is to teach them about that.

It's just an online course.
It'll only takes a few hours.

Isn't it just easier to say yes?

You know what, it actually isn't.

Because what will it be next?

It's also not fair to us, sure,

but much more importantly,
it's not fair to them.

DOOR SHUTS

Marty. Marty!

Martin!

Marty, please. I need to go toilet.

Pickle! Mummy needs to wee-wee!

How bad?

Very bad.

And what makes you think
it's getting any worse?

Everything.

And when you say "everything"?

My dad... Mr Cooper... that place.

The pub?

And if I had a girlfriend...

So, maybe we can up your dose
to 100mg.

I have the right to have
a girlfriend and...

We're not going
down that rabbit hole again, Marty.

Women can get a boyfriend
whenever they want, so...

No woman has the right to have
a boyfriend,

no man has the right to have
a girlfriend,

we've been through this
too many times.

I'm just so tired of it.

Not understanding anything.

I know, mate.

What did I do wrong, Dr Renfield?

You didn't do anything wrong, Marty.
And it's certainly not your fault.

Life is just... unfair sometimes.

So, I'm going to up your Sertraline
to 100mg,

and I'm gonna refer you
to a new autism service

being set up by Kent Council.

I should say that
it might take a year or so

to get an appointment, er...

they're a bit snowed under
right now.

So, we'll...

..see each other in three months?

I should say, raising the dose might
give you some side effects, Marty.

Call us immediately if you start
to have any trouble sleeping,

if you feel more anxious,
if you have any violent...

Dr Renfield?
Marty.

Duncan. Do you wanna come through?

Hey.
Hey.

I heard... Paddy was struggling.

Yeah, yeah, he's not brilliant.

Oh, Mel, I'm so sorry.

You wanna... talk things over?

OWN LANGUAGE:

So, we only have one session
with this guy.

But he basically tells us

what sort of therapist
he thinks we need.

So, see a therapist to see
what kind of therapist we need.

Yeah.

Bit nuts, I know.
You certainly are.

Oi.

THEY MOAN

I'm sorry.

Wanna get a drink?

And I've... I've just asked
for the search to be widened, so...

..it may yet be that
we do... find more of him.

How could someone do that...

..to another human being? How could
someone do such a terrible thing?

It's pretty much
always about disposal.

If it doesn't sound too absurd,
it's generally not personal.

TEARFULLY: Oh, my God,
how am I gonna tell my daughter?

JULIET CRIES

And where was it you said
you found him? Whitney Marsh?

I always knew he hadn't jumped.

In here....

..I always knew, and I told them,
I told them so many times.

The original investigation?

I told them I thought
his death had probably been violent.

OK, can I ask why you thought that?

Because of the money.

OK, sorry, can we just...

can we just backtrack a minute?

MAN: 'Women don't even like
that shit, bro.

'They like to know who's boss,
innit?'

KNOCKING ON DOOR
'They like a strong man,

'that's just fuckin' nature.'

MAN: 'Smack them bitches up, man.
They're gonna love you more.'

MAN LAUGHS

Hang on one second, dudes.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Hello, Marty, how are we today?

Fine, thank you for asking.

He took on the lease of a pub
in Stepney in 2014.

His uncle had managed it
in the '80s,

and it was a bit of a home from home
for Gerry.

So, that was his main job,

but we also had
three rental properties.

These where flats, or...?
No, HMOs.

Two had seven rooms, one had five.

It was quite a lot of work, and...

and we also had fairly large
mortgages on all three buildings.

You had to be
on top of tenancies and payments.

Sorry, you did this with him, or...?

No, no, I work at Central London
University. Oh, right.

As...?

A lecturer, modern history.
Oh, OK, I'm sorry, carry on.

Yeah, so, things were pretty tight,

but absolutely manageable.

And the first five years or so
in Stepney were great.

Gerry had grown up near there,
in Bow, and he just...

he just dived back into that life.

Lots of local community stuff and...

..yeah, he really loved it.

And then the pandemic happened,

and it was just like
a perfect storm.

Obviously, the pub had to shut,
so that revenue went.

And then the tenants, one-by-one,
stopped paying their rent,

so we... we basically just got
deeper and deeper into debt,

which is
when he, without telling me,

I should say... spoke
to a friend of a friend of a friend

and started borrowing money from
people he really shouldn't have.

Moneylenders.

That makes them sound much more
respectable than they were,

I think they were
basically gangsters. OK.

And how did you find out about them?

EXHALES SHAKILY

So, he was attacked...

early February 2021,

as he was putting
the bins out one night.

OK. And you think by one of them?
Yeah, I do.

And did he say
it was by one of them?

No, but at that stage,

I still didn't know
he'd borrowed any money, so...

And how badly hurt was he?
Well, they didn't break anything.

Probably too clever for that,
but he was knocked out.

And you went to the police?
I called them, yeah. And?

Well, Gerry was obviously
not that helpful.

In hindsight,
he was probably scared,

so, I mean, the police had
very little to go on.

And it was only
after we rowed about that

that he FINALLY told me
what was going on.

OK. And how much did he owe them?

By that point,
he said it was about £17,000.

And did you ever get
any names of these people?

I think I only ever met
one of them once.

Some guy called Markaj
came to the pub, asking for Gerry,

five days after the attack.

Markaj.
Yeah.

Looked and sounded Mediterranean.
I think...

Gerry said they were Albanian.
OK.

So... can you talk us
through what happened

the day he disappeared?

Can I just take a break?
I need to check on my daughter.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

DOOR OPENS

MELINDA: You think
you have everything mapped out.

You can see the next 20...

..30 years.

And then out of nowhere...

..this thing happens,
and it shifts everything...

..forever.

PHONE BUZZES

SHE SIGHS

I'm so sorry, I have to take this.
It's my producer.

Er...
Yeah.

Gabe?
'Mel.'

Sending you an article from
the Express for your next piece.

'Gabe?'
Ciao.

And are you managing to get
into the shower, Dot?

Yeah, yeah.
Yeah? Yeah.

How'd you do that, then, if
you find it hard using your walker?

Does Marty help you?
Yes, yes, he helps me.

And how did you get
that bruise on your face?

She slipped, silly-billy...
as I got her out of the shower.

Oh, dear.

Yeah.
DOT CHUCKLES

Dotty old Dot!
THEY LAUGH

Marty?

Do you wanna have a quick sit down?
Cos I just need a quick chat.

So, look, as I've said before,

and I really do feel this
strongly now...

I'm not sure Mum's being looked
after as well as she needs, Marty.

She's fine. Aren't you, Mum?

Yes, I'm fine.

Well, I'm not completely sure
you are, my love, so...

I'd like to speak
to social services...

No. ..and get them to come and do
a proper assessment.

I'm not going into a home.

We just need to make sure
you're safe, Dot.

I can't leave him on his own.

He-He... He can't cope.
CHANTS: Mum, Mum, Mum...

Look, all we need
is some more help here.

CHANTING INTENSIFIES

DOREEN SIGHS

Cheese and pickle do you?
Yeah!

CHANTING CONTINUES

It's all right.

It's all right, Marty.
It's all right.

Ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh.

The 24th was
our wedding anniversary,

and we were meant to be having
a meal together later that evening.

It's OK, take your time.

JULIET SIGHS
I got back from work at about six...

..made Taylor her tea,

and then she went upstairs
to do some homework...

Sorry, you lived here then?

No, I bought this place
after he died.

We were living
above the pub in 2021,

we had a... a two-floor flat there.
Oh, OK, right.

So, erm...

Taylor went upstairs, and I started
cooking for myself and Gerry.

I'd expected him at about 6:30,

and then when he hadn't turned up
by 7:30, I started to call him.

Over the next four or five hours,
I called multiple times.

I called his friends, his family.

Then I checked his diary and saw

he was meant to be having a meeting
with a colleague from the brewery,

so I rang her.

And she said he'd rung half an hour

before their meeting at four to
cancel, which was very unlike Ger.

And where was the meeting?
Winchester.

And then eventually, at about
midnight, I called the police.

And what was their response?

They just assumed we'd had a row

and that he'd turn up
at some point tomorrow,

even though I told them
that that wasn't... him...

that wasn't us.

I called again the following day,
out of my mind now with worry,

and finally, that night,

two officers came
and took a statement.

And you told them about
the assault and the loan sharks?

Yes, of course.

And... And what was
their reaction to that?

After there was no
credit card spending or phone use,

they said they were upgrading him
to high risk

and that they were putting
resources into it,

but my sense was
their investigation was...

always perfunctory, at best.

So they thought, what,
he'd... just walked out?

Until they found his car
near the Elizabeth Bridge.

And then they decided,

with a third UK lockdown beckoning,
that he'd jumped.

But you never believed that?

His car was by that bridge

because one of our rentals is
a hundred yards from there, so no.

And then nine months later,
I saw the officer

who led the investigation
was charged with corruption...

Yeah, and I-I should say
we are very sorry for that.

And I asked for the case to be
re-opened, but nothing happened.

So, no, they didn't exactly inspire
me with confidence.

No, I can imagine.

But...
JULIET SIGHS

Listen. Could we maybe
pick this up tomorrow?

I really think
I need to be with my daughter now.

Of course. Yeah.
We're only over in Euston.

It would be great
if it were tomorrow.

I'm in the office all day.

MARTY: Doreen?

Doreen?

Doreen?

I-I'm going to get a job
so we can pay for more help at home.

You don't need to get a job, Marty,
you won't have to pay for anything.

Don't take her away, though.
We like it how it is.

We just need to make sure
you're both safe, Marty.

Well, I like it here.
I know.

I've always liked it here.
Of course you have.

Mum likes it here, too.

Well...
A-A-And we need each other.

Go on inside,
or you'll catch a death.

Thanks so much.
Taylor not at school today?

She wasn't feeling too well.

Call me as soon as you know
your movements. Will do.

I hope it goes OK with her.

Thank you.

DOOR OPENS,
CLOSES

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking...
that's a very nice house.

I'm thinking
the kid's at a 25K-a-year school.

Thinking life insurance.

IN OWN LANGUAGE:

Get out.
What?

Get out, walk back over there,
and apologise.

You are joking.
Now!

This is not fair, Asif.
Life's not fair, mate.

If it was,
my brother would still be alive.

Now go back over there...
and apologise.

EXHALES

Killed by who?

Well, that's what they're now gonna
try to find out, sweetie.

Where was he found?

In a place called Whitney Marsh,
it's about 15 miles east of here.

And... what did they find,
just like a skeleton?

Yeah, sort of, I guess.

I don't really have the details
on that yet.

Are you sure it's him?

They did a DNA comparison test.
It's definitely him.

SNIFFS

How did he die?

How was he...?

They're not sure yet.

It's OK to cry...

..sweetheart, to be angry.

You scream and shout if you want.

Just always thought it was me.

What was you?

Why he jumped.

I just, erm...

I thought he mustn't have liked me
enough to stay around.

Oh, my God, no.

He would never have thought that,

even if that had been how he died,
he adored you.

Tay, you were his life.

Tay?
It's fine.

It's fine. I'm fine.
I've got homework to do.

OK. Not too long on that, boys, OK?

SIGHS

DIAL TONE RINGS

DEBBIE: 'Hey?'

Jessie?

Hey.

Hello. How are you?

'I've missed you so much.'

I just was calling to see if, erm...

..if maybe we could meet up,
just the two of us, to talk?

I'd like that.

OK, I'll text you some dates.

Thank you.
'And maybe don't, erm...'

..don't say anything to Mum
just yet.

Of course, whatever you want.

OK. Bye.

PHONE BEEPS

So, I'm...
So, I'm sitting at the bar, OK,

and she's already
15, 20 minutes late by this point.

And I look, and I see her walk in,

and I sort of raise my hand,
and she sees me.

And then
I actually see her eyes narrow

in a kind of
"hm, not sure" narrow...

No, stop it.
..you know what I mean?

So, I'm sitting there,
I'm smiling and stuff,

and I watch her walking over.

And I stand up ready to kind of
shake hands, or kiss, whatever.

And except about ten feet away,
she suddenly stops.

And, you know,
I say hi and put my hand out,

and she just looked at me
and goes...

"..Nah."
No way!

I promise you,
and then turns around and walks out.

Stop it.
No, I promise you. She just...

"Nah."
Oh, my God.

LAUGHING: And I'm kind of like...

not even a kind of like
"Oh, you know, you're too short,

"you're too old, you're too brown,"
nothing, just, "Nah."

And then.... And...
And I don't know why, Lee,

but that was the moment
I decided to stop online dating.

Yes, well, you know, good for you.

Well, thank you very much.
Good decision, I think.

I think so.

Jesus, what...
Yeah.

What is it? 20 pages, 30?

24, including two blank sheets.

So how long did DCI Sidhu get?

Not long enough.

Anyway, I've asked Fran
to go through it,

and I thought we could do a briefing
with the entire team

straight after this?
Yeah. Cool.

Thanks for coming in.
Can I get you a coffee?

Would you like a coffee?

JULIET: White, please, no sugar.
Black, please.

How you doing?
All right, thanks.

MELINDA: 'So that's it from me.

'Until tomorrow, good luck,
good night, and blah, blah, blah.'

Sounds very much to me like
you're trying to get our audience

to panic a bit there, Mel.

'No.' Sounded a little bit Net Zero,
if I'm honest.

Well, I guess when you've got
hospitals in Southern Spain

where half the beds
in the burns unit are occupied

by people whose feet got burned
by the pavement, Gabe, then, yeah...

it's a little bit freaky,
is my "red hot" opinion.

'Our audience don't care
about your opinion.'

They don't care
about mine or anyone's here.

'They just wanna hear their own.'
Yeah, but you hired me because...

The only reason they watch us
and not Patriot or Chat or Info

or any of the million others
out there...

so we give them their opinion,
or we lose them.

And then we're all out of a job.
So rewrite.

When he died,

the landlord of the pub
obviously took back the tenancy,

so for a while,
we were couch surfing.

But over the next year,
I was able to sell the HMOs,

pay off the mortgages,

and there was enough equity left
to buy where we live now.

And what was the name of the pub?
The Three Crowns.

It's flats now.
And did he have life insurance?

Yeah, although I...

I actually didn't even know
he'd taken it out

until after he was declared dead.

When had he taken the policy out?

2015.
And how much did it pay out?

About 400.
Thousand?

Yeah. And was there anyone else
that you were aware of?

Any conflicts, disputes, rows
that you think we should know about,

anyone who might have had beef
with him?

I guess maybe one of his tenants.

One specifically, or...
No.

No, I mean generally.

The houses were in deprived areas,

and he often rented to people
living slightly on the edge.

And it's like I said yesterday,

lots of them stopped paying
during the pandemic,

so, yeah, he had lots of disputes
with them in 2020.

And do you have records of all
the tenancies from around this time?

Somewhere.
Might need to see those, please.

OK. And you said he was born
in Stepney, I think?

Bow.
Bow.

And what was his relationship like
with locals?

Really good.

People loved Gerry, I mean,

you could stop a hundred people
on the streets where we lived

and ask them what they thought of
him, and they'd all say the same...

"Yeah, great bloke."

OK. And then lastly,
how was your relationship?

Our relationship?
Our relationship was fine.

Can you elaborate on that?

Not really. It was a happy marriage.

How did you guys meet?
How did we meet?

We often like to get
a wider picture of someone

in a case like this.

Small details
that you might think unimportant

might give us a clue that
will help us in our investigation.

We met through politics.

We were both
members of our local Labour Party.

And when was this?
Early 2009.

OK. He'd just been through
a rather painful divorce, and...

we met at a local election hustings
one night, and...

..yeah, we just clicked.

Four months later, we were married.
And Taylor was born when?

Late 2009.

OK, thank you so much.
I think we're done.

OK.
Thank you.

Yeah, nothing I can put
my finger on.

But off?
Oh, boss.

There's no record
in any files I can find

of Juliet Cooper asking
for the case to be re-opened

after Sidhu was prosecuted.

Yeah... off.

JESS: So, obviously,
the initial investigation

was more than a little flimsy,
with no indication

anyone even attempted to identify
the loan sharks.

Now, my sense is that

that whole angle does seem
a little confected,

but COMPACT does detail
an Erjon Markaj,

who we will be speaking to.

His family has lots of form.

And I will be speaking
to Ram Sidhu later today.

Kaz, you have any luck
with the CCTV? Yes and no.

Camera's maintained
by Havering Council,

but they only keep footage
for 90 days. Yep.

But I did see that there were
a couple of notices in the car park

about car theft, so I wondered
if it might be worth checking to see

if there were any incidents in the
weeks after he was reported missing?

Because that footage
might be preserved somewhere?

Yeah, in a car theft case file.

And if the body was brought in
by car... Yeah, good shout.

So he was reported missing
on the 24th of February.

I'm thinking checking up
till maybe end of March? Go for it.

So, as we now know,

Mr Cooper was also
the victim of an assault

in his pub car park
three weeks before he disappeared.

Murray, can you pull up
the CRS files on that, please? Yep.

And also
Cooper's own criminal record,

maybe link in
with Command and Control.

Guv. Yeah, Sunny you had
a thought about bin liners. Hm.

So, you're trying to dispose
of body parts.

You need to transport them,
and so you're gonna wrap them up

in bin liners to minimise evidence
being deposited in your vehicle.

But then when you throw them
in the marshes,

you wanna unwrap them
to accelerate the decomposition

so they get eaten quickly, etc.

And indeed, the little
that we found of the torso

certainly suggests that went
into the marshes un-wrapped.

My guess is that
we haven't found any other parts

due to the same reason.

So why would the leg have gone
into the marshes

still wrapped in bin liners?

The killer was interrupted.
Had to have been.

A member of the public
disturbed them,

and they threw it in quickly
to avoid detection. OK.

So boards up please, Kaz,
all along that path,

asking if anyone
saw anything unusual

between February 24th, 2021,
and the end of March. Boss.

Murray, Juliet Cooper is supplying
us with their rental records.

Could you compile
a list of all their tenants

in the 12 months before
Cooper was reported missing? Sure.

And, Fran, can you track down
as many pub employees as possible?

Ask them what their general
impression of the marriage was,

if they know of anyone else
who might've had beef with Cooper,

ditto the locals who knew him.

Maybe a board up there as well?

Yeah, yeah. Why not?
OK, thanks, guys.

'But you absolutely weren't drunk.'

You were
nowhere near over the limit.

I know.
You'd had half a pint.

Colm Moyland was
three times over the limit.

He drove through a red light.
It was his fault.

Except now they're arguing that

even the small amount of alcohol
in my bloodstream means that...

..culpability should be shared.

And if they can convince
a judge of that,

it would mean I wouldn't be able
to make any claim on his insurance.

So we claim on yours.
Sure.

Except now
that my insurance are saying

in the absence of any claim
on his...

it would mean
that mine would be invalid...

..because of the half a pint.

How? You weren't
anywhere near over the limit.

There's a clause
in the... small print, which, erm...

means that they have
the right to deny compensation,

on a case-by-case basis...

if the driver
has consumed any alcohol.

EXHALES

Hm.

Come here.

MELINDA CHUCKLES
We're gonna be OK.

We are. We're gonna be just fine.

DI Khan.

Hands up, no excuses, we screwed up.

Feels less like
you pursued the wrong leads,

more like you pursued no leads.

Oh, we followed plenty of leads.
Maybe you were otherwise occupied.

Have you just come here to bask,
DI Khan?

I take no pleasure
in where you find yourself.

Come on... little bit.

I mean, I did call you a coconut.

Put your funny little DC
on the deck

and get your charges withdrawn.

Got there in the end, didn't we?

We did.

So...

how about we just agree
I'm a disgrace to the badge,

and then maybe
I can actually help you,

because... your pity's
slightly making me wanna puke.

You are a disgrace to the badge.
Excellent.

So...

We own restaurants, dry-cleaners,,
a few office spaces,

but we're not gangsters.

Your cousin is doing eight years
for drugs offences

and your father did ten for GBH.

My dad died in 2009,

and my cousin is nothing to do
with our business.

So you really felt
he jumped into the river?

Or just walked away.
You met the wife?

We have.

Firstly, my instinct was

that the marriage wasn't
what she painted it as,

and that,
coupled with genuine money worries,

caused him to just leave.

OK. So, how much did you lend him,
as a friend?

12,000, which he paid back
with an interest of five.

My guess was he had borrowed money,

and of course,
it's possible they killed him,

but again, my instinct was that
that wasn't the case.

Why? Firstly,
she was pushing that too hard.

She must have called my office half
a dozen times to push that angle.

Maybe
because you didn't do anything.

Because it didn't make sense.
Dead men don't pay debts.

Even if we were
that kind of organisation,

why would we have him killed?

Dead men don't pay debts.
You want a theory?

I'll give you a theory.

There was an assault on Cooper
a few weeks before he died.

I'd ask why the wife was so keen
to point the finger at us.

One of his bar managers,
a Chinese girl,

reckoned it was committed by a lad

that Cooper employed the previous
year but who'd not got furlough.

I'd ask how happy she was knowing
that he was with another woman.

What other woman?

You know his name?
No.

But apparently, the lad had
threatened him a couple of times.

The one always waiting in the car

when he was dropping off
his repayments.

If I was you,
I'd be looking for her.

If I were you,
I'd be looking for him.

I appreciate your help, Mr Sidhu.
Pfft, "Mr".

It's classy.

We're done here.

But, listen,
if you need any more help.

Indeed.

And I certainly know
where to find you, don't I?

PRESENTER:
'But right now, this is BNC.

'It's seven o'clock,
yes, it's time for Mel's Minute.'

Well, face masks may be gone,

lockdowns, for now,
a thing of the past.

But if you thought that
the wokerati would let you get on

with simply enjoying life,
well, think again.

This week, we saw more
highly questionable data released

informing us that we are literally
going to burn in hell

if we don't give up our cars,
our holidays abroad,

and, heck, they even have it in
for my little, old log burner.

And as I sit here
and look outside my window

on this May evening
to see the frost outside,

and I pull on my jumper,
I ask myself two questions.

Why are the climate change
clap-trappers lying to us?

And why, if the world is
now boiling, am I so frigging cold?

Well, the answer
to the first question is

because if we're in a state
of perpetual fear and panic,

then we're so much easier
to control.

If the pandemic taught us anything,

it's that governments globe
love to keep us under their thumb.

And the answer
to the second question is

I'm cold
because that's how climate works.

It is unpredictable,
always has been, always will be.

To coin a phrase,
"Sometimes, it snows in April."

SHE CHUCKLES
So until next time,

good luck, good night,
and God bless.

Now... where are my matches?

That is so true.
So true.

Thank you, Mel.

'Thanks, Mel,
and thank you for watching.

'This has been Britannia News.

'In Newcastle today,
further unrest...'

They are compromising, Juliet,

all they want to do now
is meet with you and talk.

They want to lecture me,
Paul, we both know that.

They want to judge me.
They really don't.

Paul, it's the union's core skill.

They want to judge me and wag
their pompous little fingers...

Please, help me here.
My hands are tied.

You've tied them yourself by
just taking this shit for too long.

I'm doing you a favour.
I'm saying enough.

You should be grateful.

I know this is
the life that I chose, Mother,

I know it's my fault.

I was just hoping, for once,

just, you know,
once, a little bit of empathy.

We don't really do empathy,
darling, do we?

And given you've rather made
a living out of that,

it's a bit rich
expecting it yourself.

Well, I'll say good night, then.

I'm sure you've got some vinegar
you'd like to take a long soak in.

Before you go, sweetie...

did you hear about that man
we met you with at the Oaks?

What man?
Hm.

He was in the paper yesterday, I...

I recognised him from the photo.

What man?
Gerard Cooper?

Gerard? Wow, that's a long time.

Why was he in the paper?

'They found his body
out in Whitney Marsh.

'It says they're launching
a murder investigation.

'Melinda?'
Yeah, sorry, I'm just...

..just in shock.

'You used to love our picnics
out in Whitney

'when you were a little girl,
didn't you?'

I've gotta go, Mother.
I-I'll talk to you next week.

PODCAST HOST: 'So many have fallen
for the corrupt and evil narrative

'that has long been broadcast...'

SPEECH CONTINUES
INDISTINCTLY

'Please leave a message
after the tone.'

TONE BEEPS
Hi, it's Melinda Ricci.

So, I just wanted to let you know

that if you say anything to anyone
that brings people to my door...

..you will regret it.
