Get out of my road!

Dear God.

Will the police be able to tell | I bashed his head in with scaffolding?

- 'Cause I didn't mean to kill him. | - I know.

- I was trying to stop him killing you. | - I know.

You wouldn't have lasted another minute...

...the way he was choking you | and whacking your head.

I'll have to spend...

...years of my life in a jail cell all by myself.

I mean, that's not fair.

I was only trying to help.

I don't even know the guy.

I was only trying to help.

What if we make an anonymous phone call | and then disappear?

We can't because I haven't got a phone.

- If we don't say who we are. | - But I haven't got a phone.

I know, but they won't be able | to trace the call.

I haven't got a phone. | We don't have a phone.

You have to go to work.

I helped you, so you have to help me.

Now, before you're late. | As though everything is hunky-dory.

Petula, wait.

You can't go yet. Take off your coat.

Phone me on Brian's phone.

Two rings, then hang up.

Then ring again immediately | so I know it's you.

Thanks for coming to help me...

...last night.

Listen. You have to give me some money.

Right. Yeah, of course.

- How much do you normally charge? | - What?

No, not for the haircut.

out the pawn shop.

If he comes back, I'll send him packing...

and stumble across your dead boyfriend.

Where's Brian?

Where is Brian?

I don't actually know where he is.

Morning.

Your Brian back on the drink again?

Then let's just pray His Lordship's met | with a particularly horrible accident.

Yes, Mr. McMinn.

I see.

Right. Yes, I'll start with Eastern General.

The police have found | Brian's car abandoned.

Mr. McMinn wants me | to phone the hospitals.

I am so sorry.

That's all right, Sheena. He'll be just...

...lying in a heap somewhere.

Dorothy, they found the car abandoned...

...and there's a policeman | coming to see me tomorrow...

... if Brian doesn't show.

Do you know Northcraigs Beach?

I will meet you at the coffee stall at 6:30.

Well?

The hospital...

...people have no idea about anything | to do with Brian, Mr. McMinn.

No, that's terrific.

We were just curious | if you knew whether...

...he'd had an accident or something, | or died.

We've had no admissions of that name...

...or fitting that description.

Oh, good.

Goodbye then, | and thank you for being so...

...helpful and...

...informative.

They have not had any admissions | fitting that name or that description.

Was he with you last night?

Early on, he was.

Then, later on, he wasn't.

Now, this is called a decapod crustacean.

That's a lobster.

Nature uses them to clean dead bodies.

Them and shrimps get | all the drowned flesh off the bones.
