It had been a few months since I'd been up there to look at my daughter.
I was just sat at home watching TV, flipping through the channels.
[man on TV] ...which claimed the lives of 26 people
on a quiet Wednesday morning.
Passengers like Palab Ghatak, just 18, on his way to his first job interview,
like Bethany Grey, the young mother who'd only recently started...'
[pauses TV]
It had been so long since I'd seen her, it was hard to imagine
anything but that shadow in her place.
But now that the block had died with her...
...there she was.
She was gone.
[sobbing]
Sorry.
But there was, uh, one silver lining...
...with the block gone.
You'd get to see your daughter.
It was almost Christmas, so I bought her this snow globe.
Just a present to give her.
And I headed up to Beth's dad's.
And there she was.
Not a silhouette...
...but real.
Hello, darling.
[gasps]
[melancholy song plays]
[song fades]
What is it, May? Would you like a drink?
[Christmas music on radio]
What are you doing here?
Beth's dead.
Do you understand?
She's dead.
There's nothing for you here.
Where's my daughter?
What daughter?
This is Beth's daughter.
I want to see my daughter.
May, go upstairs.
If this is about those letters...
...I threw them out before she saw them.
She was a mess, she'd had to leave everything behind.
I want to see my daughter.
I think you should go.
Get out of this house.
I want to see my daughter.
You have no daughter here!
[shouts in pain]
- [clattering] - [panting]
[exhales last breath]
[birds chirping]
It was that clock.
It was that clock.
Then what happened?
Tell me.
[Joe] I just left.
I go out in the car and I just drove.
Anywhere. I don't know where.
I walked into the nearest town
and I, um... I slept on the streets and drank.
After a while, I don't know how long, a couple of months, they picked me up.
They wanted me to talk but I couldn't talk...
...because if I said it, it would be real.
So I didn't say anything, I didn't tell them.
And what about the girl?
What happened to the girl?
[sniffling]
I only know what they said.
What did they say?
- What Did they say? - What Is This place?
- What Did they say? - What job do We do here?
- Our job. the job. - Joe, stay with me.
What did they say?
What did they say, Joe?
That she just... she just stayed in the house.
It was, um...
It was Christmas Eve, so she just...
...she just stayed hidden. She didn't move.
Then on Boxing Day she realised that no one was going to help.
Then she, um, gave her grandad a present that she'd made.
And she went out to go and get help.
How far did she get?
May God forgive me. God forgive me.
So you confess?
Joe?
Just say it.
Just let it out.
I confess. I confess.
[whimpering]
Whoo! I knew I could do it.
Boom! I told you I'd get it.
All right, I'm coming out.
Sorry, Joe.
[exhales deeply]
Well? That had to be enough.
Full confession. Clear conviction.
Well done.
Two days we pressed him and he said piss all,
this bastard cracks him in 70 minutes.
He knows he's guilty, he needed to unload.
