Does he know how witless that sounds? 368 00:36:59,087 --> 00:37:02,966 "How was it for you, darling?" "It must be OK - 369 00:37:03,127 --> 00:37:05,846 "it appeals to a young demographic. " 370 00:37:06,007 --> 00:37:09,363 So did the Hitler Youth. It's worse than voyeuristic. 371 00:37:09,527 --> 00:37:15,045 It's irresponsible. Every woman in London named after a flower is afraid to go out. 372 00:37:15,207 --> 00:37:18,756 "Daisy Chain Killer"! What are you like? 373 00:37:18,927 --> 00:37:23,079 Look, why don't you admit what this is really about? 374 00:37:23,247 --> 00:37:26,717 You just can't deal with the fact that I chucked you! 375 00:37:26,887 --> 00:37:31,199 To think I introduced you to my parents. What a narrow escape that was. 376 00:37:31,367 --> 00:37:35,360 After what you said about my father, I shouldn't be speaking to you. 377 00:37:35,527 --> 00:37:38,166 What are you talking about? 378 00:37:38,327 --> 00:37:41,763 I was on my best behaviour that day. 379 00:37:41,927 --> 00:37:44,964 I remember I got hiccups just as were leaving. 380 00:37:45,127 --> 00:37:49,086 Look, I was there, remember? I know what you said. 381 00:37:51,007 --> 00:37:54,920 Now, I wonder what this'll be. 382 00:37:55,087 --> 00:37:59,365 Perhaps she knows someone who owns one of those hats. 383 00:37:59,527 --> 00:38:03,600 There's something very odd about all that coonskin cap business. 384 00:38:03,767 --> 00:38:07,601 It makes you wonder if that was what they actually saw. 385 00:38:07,767 --> 00:38:12,397 Anyway, I don't imagine there'll be any call for your services, 386 00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:15,479 so if you can just bear to wait. 387 00:39:15,127 --> 00:39:16,958 Hello? 388 00:39:58,647 --> 00:40:00,683 Oh, my God! 389 00:41:12,807 --> 00:41:15,162 That's all I can say. 390 00:41:35,087 --> 00:41:38,045 This is what frightens me more than anything - 391 00:41:38,207 --> 00:41:40,721 when you just can't find a way in. 392 00:41:40,887 --> 00:41:45,881 Clearly, there's some kind of powerful psychotic charge being derived, 393 00:41:46,047 --> 00:41:48,322 but they're not out of any textbook. 394 00:41:48,527 --> 00:41:52,236 Her husband's been away looking after his mother who's ill, 395 00:41:52,407 --> 00:41:55,240 so... I don't know. 396 00:41:55,887 --> 00:41:59,766 You can talk about being marginalized, cries for attention, 397 00:41:59,927 --> 00:42:05,445 but the truth is, Moira Jane Rowe defeats me. 398 00:42:05,607 --> 00:42:10,078 What about MO? Will she share the secret of that gymnasium stunt with us? 399 00:42:10,247 --> 00:42:12,238 Strangely evasive on that one. 400 00:42:12,407 --> 00:42:16,161 All she says is, "You'll have to fit it together. " 401 00:42:21,127 --> 00:42:25,678 So, as serial killers go, not exactly archetypal, would you say? 402 00:42:25,847 --> 00:42:28,566 'Cause real life can be very badly written. 403 00:42:28,727 --> 00:42:32,800 The idea that a young woman kills other young women because she likes it 404 00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:35,356 is a psychoanalyst's nightmare. 405 00:42:35,527 --> 00:42:38,678 And inconveniently for the tabloid criminologists, 406 00:42:38,847 --> 00:42:43,875 there was no pattern of any kind or tidy back-story to explain why she did it. 407 00:42:44,047 --> 00:42:49,599 All right. But it still leaves us with a disappearing act that has to be explained. 408 00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:53,646 I haven't heard any wise words from you lately on that subject. 409 00:42:53,807 --> 00:42:59,598 I keep coming back to that vaulting horse, but I've probably seen too many P-o-W films. 410 00:42:59,767 --> 00:43:02,122 It was the first place they looked. 411 00:43:02,327 --> 00:43:05,842 Our best shot's got to be that recording. 412 00:43:06,007 --> 00:43:10,080 What did she say? "You bastard. You'll never get away. " 413 00:43:10,247 --> 00:43:12,238 The place was clearly airtight. 414 00:43:12,407 --> 00:43:17,845 She knew that. So why do I feel that it was a strange choice of words? 415 00:43:18,007 --> 00:43:23,081 She was choking to death, which can cloud the judgement. 416 00:43:23,247 --> 00:43:25,522 Just can't unlock it. 417 00:43:25,727 --> 00:43:31,040 You go home and try wiggling your key, and I'll check in with you tomorrow. 418 00:43:31,247 --> 00:43:34,796 Not that I want to crowd your intuitive genius, 419 00:43:34,967 --> 00:43:37,879 but we do have this production deadline. 420 00:43:38,047 --> 00:43:39,924 Excuse me. 421 00:43:45,647 --> 00:43:50,277 Frankly, I wouldn't board a dog in this room. Where can I take a nap? 422 00:43:50,487 --> 00:43:54,082 It's a joke. Also, this bread's stale. 423 00:43:54,247 --> 00:43:58,160 And I think you'll find I asked for sun-dried tomatoes. 424 00:43:58,367 --> 00:44:01,279 And can we keep the corridors clear tonight? 425 00:44:01,447 --> 00:44:06,123 Explain to that dimwit with the choc ices that I'm actually part of this production. 426 00:44:12,127 --> 00:44:17,155 - And what can we do for you? - Stick your head in there while I flush. 427 00:44:17,367 --> 00:44:20,325 You don't talk to people like that. Now, bugger off. 428 00:44:20,527 --> 00:44:24,839 - Who the hell are you? - The man who's telling you to bugger off! 429 00:44:25,007 --> 00:44:29,444 Come on!

Full-frontal nudity is not admissible. 432 00:44:38,047 --> 00:44:40,038 Now, hop it! 433 00:44:40,247 --> 00:44:43,364 You have no authority. I'm integral to that trick. 434 00:44:43,567 --> 00:44:46,400 We'll re-cast. Jan will set up some auditions. 435 00:44:46,607 --> 00:44:50,566 How can you have a streaker's dressing room? That's an oxymoron, surely? 436 00:44:50,767 --> 00:44:55,522 - I can make trouble. Don't think I won't. - Now you're scaring me. 437 00:44:55,687 --> 00:45:00,363 - Get his clothes. - Big trouble!

All I remember saying was he seems like a bit of a prick... 444 00:45:32,607 --> 00:45:34,916 ...ly gentleman. 445 00:45:35,087 --> 00:45:38,523 I did have hiccups, so he might have misheard me. 446 00:45:38,727 --> 00:45:40,718 Oh, right.
