Until
Well, I had to take a closer look.
And there's her dad with our baby,
but I can't even see its face
because
Legal blocks cover offspring too.
Been there.
That hurts.
I couldn't even tell
if it was a boy or a girl.
I know this sounds stupid
.
.
but seeing something
.
.
was better than nothing.
So I kept going back.
It became an annual pilgrimage.
Once a year I'd head up there
and watch them from a distance.
Watching the kid grow up, you know?
More than anything I just wanted
to make some sort of contact.
Anything.
So, one Christmas, kid must have
been about four by now,
I headed up there
and I took a little present with me.
Just a small, stupid thing.
For the first time,
I could see she was a girl.
I had a daughter.
So, Santa Claus
.
.
did you try it again next year?
Something happened before then.
'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.
'
'.
.
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,
'and Bethany Grey, a young mother
who'd only recently started'
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.
Sorry.
But there was 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.
Real.
Hello, darling.
The world
May think I'm foolish
They can't see you
Like I can
Oh, but anyone
Who knows what love is
Will understand.
What is it, May?
Would you like a drink?
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!
.
.
a great big smile
on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus
is on the way
Well, I wish it could be
Christmas every day
It was that clock.
It was that clock.
Then what happened?
Tell me.
'I just left.
'
When you're skating in the park
If the snow cloud makes it dark
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna
light my merry way
Now the frosty paws appear
'I got in the car
'and I just drove.
'
'Anywhere.
I don't know where.
'
'I walked into the nearest town
and I
'I slept on the street and I drank.
'
'And then 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?
I only know what they said.
What did they say?
~ What did they say?
~ What is this place?
~ What did they say?
~ What 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.
And she gave her grandad
a present that she'd made.
And she went out to go and get help.
How far did she get?
Oh, may God forgive me.
God forgive me.
So you confess?
Joe?
Just say it.
Just let it out.
I confess.
I confess.
Whoo! I knew I could do it.
Boom! I told you I'd get it.
All right, I'm coming out.
Sorry, Joe.
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.
It wasn't really 70 minutes,
not to him.
When he was first ingested,
I tweaked the time preferences,
made it seam like five years
from his perspective.
