00:06:30♪♪
00:06:41You're the new media pioneers. Think of something.
00:06:45Alice, you still have the old template, don't you?
00:06:49Are you with us, Alice?
00:06:52♪♪
00:07:02♪♪
00:07:12I'm going out to get my hair trimmed. I'll be back after lunch.
00:07:14Okay.
00:07:15♪♪
00:07:25♪♪
00:07:35♪♪
00:07:45♪♪
00:07:55And you got in.
00:07:57Yeah.
00:07:59I got in.
00:08:02♪♪
00:08:12♪♪
00:08:22♪♪
00:08:32♪♪
00:08:42♪♪
00:08:49What's your name?
00:08:50Alice.
00:08:54Alice.
00:08:56♪♪
00:09:06♪♪
00:09:16♪♪

00:09:56♪♪
00:10:06♪♪
00:10:16♪♪
00:10:26♪♪
00:10:31That was when I found out his name, Adam Tallis,
00:10:36and that he climbed mountains.
00:10:38♪♪
00:10:45He caused quite a stir here yesterday.
00:10:48He saved six people up there.
00:10:51No oxygen.
00:10:53♪♪
00:11:03♪♪
00:11:13♪♪
00:11:23♪♪
00:11:33♪♪
00:11:43♪♪
00:11:46Can you stop me whenever you want?
00:11:48Please don't stop.
00:11:49Please don't stop.
00:11:51♪♪
00:12:00Bought your book today.
00:12:03It isn't my book.
00:12:05I'm just in it.
00:12:08It looks good.
00:12:14People died, Alice.
00:12:18Ugh.
00:12:26Something went very wrong.
00:12:30♪♪
00:12:40There was a woman named Francoise Collet.
00:12:47I lost the whole group.
00:12:53I still don't understand what happened.
00:12:56There was no room for error.
00:12:58Everything had been checked.
00:13:05I was in love with her.
00:13:10Do you know what it's like over 20,000 feet?
00:13:22It's like this.
00:13:24Without air, the brain cells die.
00:13:28It shuts down.
00:13:33And then the rest of the body follows.
00:13:44It's been two years,
00:13:46and it doesn't go away.
00:13:58I live with someone.
00:14:04But you're here.
00:14:08I have to go.
00:14:14No.
00:14:17Don't put them on.
00:14:19No.
00:14:43Hello?
00:14:44Hi. Where are you?
00:14:46I'm running some errands.
00:14:48Do you think you can pick up my watch on the way home?
00:14:50I'm running behind schedule. I'm never gonna make it.
00:14:52Of course I can.
00:14:55I missed you today, Alice.
00:14:57Missed you.
00:14:59I love you.
00:15:00Love you.
00:15:01Bye.
00:15:02Bye.
00:15:16In possession.
00:15:18Valakari.
00:15:19Knock it. Knock it. Knock...
00:15:21Nice.
00:15:22Speed forced to defend.
00:15:24I'll give it. I'll give it.
00:15:25Finder the gun. Push forward.
00:15:27Do it!
00:15:29Aye, aye.
00:15:30Speed to Pembridge.
00:15:31I can't breathe.
00:15:33It's a bit harsh.
00:15:39Jake?
00:15:40Yeah, sorry. I'm just, um...
00:15:42There's nobody there!
00:15:45Jake, I have to leave you.
00:15:47I'm sorry.
00:15:48I'm sorry.
00:15:49I'm sorry.
00:15:50I'm sorry.
00:15:51I'm sorry.
00:15:52I'm sorry.
00:15:53I'm sorry.
00:15:54I'm sorry.
00:15:55I'm sorry.
00:15:56I'm sorry.
00:15:57I'm sorry.
00:15:58I'm sorry.
00:15:59I'm sorry.
00:16:01Jake, I have to leave you.
00:16:03You what?
00:16:04I can't go on like this. I'm sorry.
00:16:07I have to leave.
00:16:13You have to leave me?
00:16:27Alice.
00:16:29We're together.
00:16:32We're perfect together.
00:16:36I want to marry you.
00:16:43I met somebody.
00:16:56Who?
00:16:57Who did you meet?
00:16:58You don't know him.
00:17:01I'm sorry.
00:17:03When did you meet him?
00:17:04I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:17:06It's not the point.
00:17:08It's very much the point!
00:17:10We go to the market together every Sunday.
00:17:12I buy your fucking tube tickets for you!
00:17:16Jesus!
00:17:25Where are you going?
00:17:28I don't know.
00:17:54You were looking for Adam.
00:17:56He's not here at the moment.
00:17:58But, um, it's cold out there.
00:18:00Come in.
00:18:02Please, come in.
00:18:12I've been climbing in Chile.
00:18:15Adam always takes these pictures down.
00:18:19Or makes sure his back is turned to them.
00:18:22Oh, please, sit down.
00:18:26For me, pictures tell me who I am.
00:18:30But for Adam, they steal his soul.
00:18:37Want some?
00:18:38No, thank you.
00:18:39No, it's quite good.
00:18:42Oh.
00:18:43I'm his sister.
00:18:45You're his sister?
00:18:46Yep.
00:18:47I'm Deborah.
00:18:49We climbed together a long time ago.
00:18:51We climbed together a lot.
00:18:54He was having some work done on his place,
00:18:56so he stayed here while I was gone.
00:19:00This is Mr. Know-it-all.
00:19:08It's his name.
00:19:14This is, um, Francoise, right?
00:19:17That's the real reason my brother takes the pictures down.
00:19:20Because it's, um,
00:19:23it's too hard for him to see her.
00:19:26My brother's a brave guy, but
00:19:28sometimes
00:19:32he's afraid of remembering.
00:19:38What he forgets
00:19:40is that he's not the only one responsible.
00:19:43I was up there, too.
00:19:47She was my best friend, Alice.
00:19:50Yes.
00:19:52I know your name.
00:19:56You're very beautiful.
00:20:01I can see why he'd fall so hard for you.
00:20:12The thing is,
00:20:14I don't know if I can tell you
00:20:16how much I love you.
00:20:18The thing about my brother
00:20:21is you're either with him
00:20:23or you're not.
00:20:25And once you've made the jump
00:20:27and you're with him,
00:20:29that's it.
00:20:31There's no discussion.
00:20:38Can I have his address?
00:20:40Yes, of course.
00:20:42Thank you.
00:20:44Thank you.
00:20:51Thank you.
00:21:14Thank you.
00:21:44Thank you.
00:22:06I left him.
00:22:11You're hurting me.
00:22:14I'm sorry.
00:22:44Adam?
00:22:53Morning.
00:22:56Alice, this is Joanna.
00:22:58Joanna, Alice.
00:23:00Hi.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:06I'm sorry.
00:23:08I'm sorry.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:12Joanna Noble from The Guardian.
00:23:14I'm interviewing Adam
00:23:16about his Himalayan clean-up project.
00:23:18Nice to meet you.
00:23:20Where can I find his shirt?
00:23:22Can I, um...
00:23:24It's all right.
00:23:32Truth and honesty.
00:23:34Truth and honesty.
00:23:45So why this interview?
00:23:47Who's who?
00:24:00What I feel is a very sacred and special place.
00:24:03Adam?
00:24:05Your phone?
00:24:07Could you get that for me?
00:24:09Hello?
00:24:11Hello?
00:24:15No-one there.
00:24:19In some respects,
00:24:21it's just become a playground
00:24:23for the rich and inexperienced.
00:24:27Thanks.
00:24:29I have to go to work.
00:24:31Will you think about me today?
00:24:33Yes.
00:24:35What are you doing today?
00:24:37Thinking about you.
00:24:39Do you want to learn how to climb?
00:24:41Sure.
00:24:43Come and see me after work.
00:24:45Okay.
00:24:59Come on.
00:25:26Excuse me.
00:25:29Thanks.
00:25:35It's good.
00:25:43Alice.
00:25:45Hi.
00:25:47Hi.
00:25:53So you've got a harness.
00:25:55Do you want to put it on?
00:25:57Put your feet in there
00:25:59and pull it up like a pair of trousers.
00:26:05That's great.
00:26:11That's right.
00:26:13Double back it.
00:26:15There we go.
00:26:17It suits you.
00:26:19Thank you.
00:26:21What's going on?
00:26:25It's okay. I'm helping her.
00:26:27Hi.
00:26:29Okay, fine.
00:26:31I'm sorry.
00:26:33Let me check your harness.
00:26:37Seems to be good.
00:26:43She's my sister,
00:26:45but she drives me mad.
00:26:47I swear it's chemical.
00:26:49I don't know. Maybe.
00:26:51Come on.
00:26:56Well, finally, Alice.
00:26:58The flatlander
00:27:00captured the mountain boy.
00:27:02Alice, meet Klaus.
00:27:04Klaus, Alice.
00:27:06I liked your book.
00:27:08Well, thank you.
00:27:12Well, nice to meet you.
00:27:14This looks
00:27:16horrid.
00:27:18It's all in the mind.
00:27:20Not to mention the laundry.
00:27:22I'm just wearing the big white cotton panties.
00:27:24I'm sorry. I'm a little manic.
00:27:30Have you seen Jake?
00:27:32Of course I have.
00:27:34He's been my friend for 15 years.
00:27:36How is he?
00:27:38What can I say?
00:27:40He's smoking like a fiend
00:27:42and he's completely fucked up.
00:27:44It's not like there's no reason, is there?
00:27:48Sorry.
00:27:54I think that you're
00:27:56destroying both of your lives.
00:28:00I'm sorry.
00:28:06You had somebody who loved you.
00:28:08You loved each other
00:28:10and you let him go for good sex.
00:28:12Love is just
00:28:14a good fuck, you know?
00:28:16This is more.
00:28:18More everything. When I'm with him,
00:28:20everything is more.
00:28:22Oh, God, Alice, you can write greetings.
00:28:24God, you're really bloody good.
00:28:30I'm sorry.
00:28:35Right.
00:28:37Come on, let's get out of here.
00:28:39I could do with some retail therapy myself, I think.
00:28:41I can't, but come with me.
00:28:43I'm going to see Adam at 3 o'clock
00:28:45and you can meet him.
00:28:47Okay.
00:28:49I know it's been a little too much for you,
00:28:51but I'm really impressed with this place.
00:28:53I mean, the place is really, really historic
00:28:55and I am buying it.
00:28:57It's really, really affordable.
00:29:05Hey!
00:29:07Alice!
00:29:09It's okay, she's fine.
00:29:19Please.
00:29:43Carl, please.
00:29:45Adam!
00:29:47Stop!
00:29:49Stop!
00:30:01Buena suerte.
00:30:03Oh, Jesus.
00:30:05That'll never happen again.
00:30:07I won't let it.
00:30:11You're okay.
00:30:13You're okay.
00:30:15I'll always be here, Alice.
00:30:17Yeah.
00:30:19I'll protect you.
00:30:21Say you believe me.
00:30:23I believe you.
00:30:25Alice?
00:30:29Marry me.
00:30:33Marry me.
00:30:37And soon.
00:30:39Tomorrow.
00:30:41As soon as possible, marry me.
00:30:43Yes.
00:30:45Yes.
00:30:57Sir, can we ask you some questions, please?
00:31:11Okay.
00:31:27Use your head, Alice.
00:31:29What do you really know about him?
00:31:38Hey, you ready?
00:31:41Yeah.
00:31:43Someone's trying to scare you.
00:31:45There was another call this morning.
00:31:47There was someone there, but they didn't say anything.
00:31:49Makes me sick.
00:31:51If anything else happens like this again,
00:31:53make sure you tell me.
00:31:55Okay?
00:31:57Okay.
00:31:59You'll be fine.
00:32:11I love you.
00:32:31Do you, Alice, promise to love and cherish Adam
00:32:33for as long as you both shall live?
00:32:35I do.
00:32:37And do you, Adam, promise to love
00:32:39and cherish Alice for as long as you both shall live?
00:32:41I do.
00:32:43May the Lord bless this union
00:32:45and secure it from all harm.
00:33:09How do you know the priest?
00:33:11This is my family church.
00:33:13You have a family church?
00:33:15Wow.
00:33:17I have a mother that doesn't talk to me,
00:33:19a dad I've never met.
00:33:21Shh.
00:33:23It doesn't matter.
00:33:25Our life began when we first saw each other.
00:33:29Come on.
00:33:31I need you to see something.
00:33:33What?
00:33:35Whoa!
00:33:51No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:33:53Now, I want you to see this through my eyes
00:33:55when I was six.
00:33:57Look, like this.
00:34:05You know the story
00:34:07that we're broken into two pieces
00:34:11and we spend our lives searching
00:34:13for our other half?
00:34:15Hmm.
00:34:17You're it.
00:34:27Okay, here we are.
00:34:29We're getting dressed here?
00:34:31Okay.
00:34:33Yep, here.
00:34:53Oh.
00:34:55Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:34:57No, no, no, no, don't do that.
00:34:59I need to remember you like this.
00:35:15Come on, I want you to freeze to death.
00:35:17Come on.
00:35:29Alice.
00:35:49This is the only way station
00:35:51for hikers in the whole area.
00:35:53The church has kept supplies up here
00:35:55for a long time.
00:35:57The church has kept supplies up here
00:35:59for years.
00:36:08You went hiking on your wedding day.
00:36:10That's his idea
00:36:12of romance.
00:36:14Adam!
00:36:18I thought that
00:36:20a honeymoon was lying in bed with room service.
00:36:22Oh, I'll give you a honeymoon
00:36:24you won't forget.
00:36:26Come on, Alice.
00:36:28No, no, no, sit down.
00:36:30Sit down.
00:36:32Choose your rhythm
00:36:34and then commit to following it.
00:36:36Count if you have to.
00:36:38Okay?
00:36:44I'm gonna make you strong!
00:36:46I wanted him
00:36:48to be proud of me
00:36:50so I followed the trail
00:36:52for hours.
00:37:16Adam?
00:37:32Adam?
00:37:46You made it.
00:37:58What's that?
00:38:00It's an anchor
00:38:02to catch a falling body.
00:38:06Catch.
00:38:08We returned to London
00:38:10and Joanna Noble's article came out.
00:38:12I was happier than I'd ever been.
00:38:16Excuse me.
00:38:18Oh.
00:38:20Are you good?
00:38:22Thanks.
00:38:24Are you good?
00:38:26Thanks.
00:38:54Oh.
00:39:12Oh!
00:39:14Hello, Jake?
00:39:16No, it's Sylvie speaking.
00:39:18Hello, Alice.
00:39:20Sylvie?
00:39:22Oh, no, no, that's fine.
00:39:24I just happened to be over, actually.
00:39:26Jake's gonna be back soon, I think.
00:39:28Look, Alice,
00:39:30this is gonna sound a bit weird
00:39:32and I was definitely gonna tell you,
00:39:34but Jake and I
00:39:36have actually been seeing each other.
00:39:38You and Jake?
00:39:40Well,
00:39:42it just sort of happened.
00:39:46Did you move in?
00:39:48Um, yeah.
00:39:50Yeah, I did.
00:39:52Sort of.
00:39:54Oh, God.
00:39:56How cliche is this?
00:39:58Home friend moves in
00:40:00to console a jilted boyfriend
00:40:02and then these two find themselves together.
00:40:06You gonna be OK with this?
00:40:08Yeah, I'm OK.
00:40:10Alice?
00:40:12Hey! We're gonna be late! Hurry up!
00:40:14Alice?
00:40:16Yeah, I gotta go.
00:40:18We'll talk about it later, OK?
00:40:20OK, bye.
00:40:40Here we go.
00:40:42Good evening, Mr. Jason.
00:40:44Good evening, Adam.
00:40:50Hey, Alice, Alice, I'm sorry.
00:41:04Sorry.
00:41:06Excuse me.
00:41:08Hi!
00:41:10Hi!
00:41:12How you doing?
00:41:14It's really nice to see you.
00:41:38Hi.
00:42:08Oh.
00:42:10It's Alice Tallis.
00:42:14My rhyming sister-in-law.
00:42:18Are you OK?
00:42:20I have a headache and I was looking for some aspirin.
00:42:22Oh, no, give me your hand.
00:42:24Give me your hand.
00:42:30Can you feel that?
00:42:32Yeah, it really hurts.
00:42:34Close your eyes.
00:42:38Breathe.
00:42:40Slowly.
00:42:54That's good.
00:42:58It's a meridian that controls
00:43:00the kidney or the
00:43:02brain or the left big toe.
00:43:04I forget which.
00:43:08But it's
00:43:10whatever works, right?
00:43:14Thank you.
00:43:16Close your eyes.
00:43:18Close your eyes.
00:43:24OK, you can open.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:43:30I want to drink to that beautiful lady in blue.
00:43:32Where is she?
00:43:38I don't think
00:43:40she's ever climbed past
00:43:42the third floor.
00:43:44But she has conquered our Adam.
00:43:46But what she
00:43:48doesn't know is that to get Adam
00:43:50she also gets us.
00:44:04Most of the people using
00:44:06the program are women.
00:44:08And we try to sell them a game, but women don't like games.
00:44:10Women like stories.
00:44:12Men like games.
00:44:14Men like to slay the dragon and get the princess.
00:44:16But women like to know how do the dragon
00:44:18and the princess all get there in the first place.
00:44:22A game is the wrong approach.
00:44:30Sorry.
00:44:32Excuse me.
00:44:34Alice Talis.
00:44:36This is Joanna Noble.
00:44:38Do you remember me?
00:44:40Yes, I remember you.
00:44:42I got a weird note about the article.
00:44:46I'm not going to do anything with it.
00:44:48I mean, I'm certainly not going to follow it up.
00:44:50It's probably stupid of me,
00:44:52but I somehow felt obliged
00:44:54to tell you about it.
00:44:56Shall I send it to you?
00:44:58Yeah, you can send it.
00:45:00Is it private?
00:45:02I don't want this sitting
00:45:04in a public-end basket.
00:45:06I understand you can fax it.
00:45:08Okay, I'll do that.
00:45:10You have the number?
00:45:12Yeah, I got it from his secretary.
00:45:14Okay, thanks for calling.
00:45:16Sorry I had to take that.
00:45:18No problem.
00:45:20Gave me a chance to think.
00:45:22We shouldn't be playing games.
00:45:24It's obvious.
00:45:26Women don't like games.
00:45:28I think this project needs a new face.
00:45:30My dear Joanna Noble,
00:45:32what you wrote made me sick.
00:45:34Your big hero, Adam Tallis, raped me.
00:45:36Why don't you try reporting the truth?
00:45:42It's out of paper.
00:45:48I've decided that from now on
00:45:50this is Alice's project.
00:45:52You're the new point man.
00:45:54I mean, point girl.
00:45:56Woman.
00:45:58Congratulations, Alice.
00:46:00Thank you.
00:46:06Open or closed?
00:46:08Closed.
00:46:22Fuck!
00:46:24Fuck!
00:46:34Alice Tallis's office.
00:46:36Hello, Claudia. It's Adam.
00:46:38Oh, hi, Adam.
00:46:40Hi, is Alice there?
00:46:42No, she's just left, actually.
00:46:44Left? Where'd she go?
00:46:46I think she went to the doctor's.
00:46:54So,
00:46:56you thought this woman
00:46:58was sending the notes?
00:47:00Yes.
00:47:02Yes.
00:47:22Yeah?
00:47:24Hello, um, I'm Joanna Noble from The Guardian.
00:47:26Uh, I called you before.
00:47:28Yeah, right.
00:47:30Yeah, I am. Come in.
00:47:32He's having a birthday party.
00:47:36I asked him to dance
00:47:38and then
00:47:40I don't know
00:47:44we start kissing.
00:47:46I mean,
00:47:48I was shit-faced.
00:47:50I think he even put my hand
00:47:52in his shirt.
00:47:54Then we went outside.
00:48:00I guess
00:48:02the air must have straightened me up a bit.
00:48:04I remember
00:48:06wondering
00:48:08what the hell
00:48:10I was doing.
00:48:22And he pulled me
00:48:24into the bushes
00:48:26and in my dress
00:48:28there was a zip
00:48:32in the back.
00:48:40I was so young.
00:48:48I started to cry.
00:48:52He put his hand over my mouth and kept going.
00:48:58He's strong.
00:49:00There was nothing I could do.
00:49:04I tried to fight him.
00:49:10When he was done
00:49:12he shook me and said something
00:49:14like
00:49:16it's only sex.
00:49:18Just sex.
00:49:22Then he got up
00:49:24left the party with his sister
00:49:28and left.
00:49:36So
00:49:38you want to write an article about this then?
00:49:42I mean, he's not royal or anything
00:49:44but it's close enough.
00:49:46We can make some money
00:49:48out of this, Joanna.
00:49:50It doesn't work that way.
00:49:52Yeah, it does.
00:49:54Everybody's always blabbing about who's sticking into who.
00:49:56They make plenty.
00:50:00You have no proof.
00:50:02This is a question of he said, she said.
00:50:06Jesus, Alice.
00:50:08I can't believe you did this.
00:50:10What if she calls my editor?
00:50:12I could be fired.
00:50:14Do you think that nosy wives have immunity
00:50:16from normal behavior?
00:50:19I knew the minute that I called that it was a mistake.
00:50:21Sorry, Alice.
00:50:23It's okay.
00:50:25I just thought you should know what I did.
00:50:27It was really just innocent curiosity.
00:50:29It's never innocent.
00:50:31Curiosity gets people killed.
00:50:33What would you do if it was your husband?
00:50:35I don't have one.
00:50:37You not only have one
00:50:39but one is wild about you.
00:50:43You're right.
00:50:45I have to trust him.
00:50:47I have to trust him.
00:50:49People have stories.
00:50:51People have stories, you and I, everyone.
00:51:20But I couldn't tell you one complete story about my husband.
00:51:24Practically everything I knew about him came from a book or a newspaper
00:51:29or shreds of information dropped by other people.
00:51:33I couldn't help myself. I needed to know more.
00:51:49Adele Blanchard.
00:52:08It's crazy, but I want to show the world my bruises.
00:52:21What we're doing is dangerous, but I still can't help wanting more.
00:52:33The only way to end this is to be brutal.
00:52:35We have to stop what we're doing. I've decided to go back to my husband.
00:52:43I'm not strong enough to live on the edge with you anymore.
00:52:46I know you won't fall, but I will. I'm sure of it.
00:52:51This tears me apart, but I have to go back to Michael.
00:52:55I love you, Adele.
00:53:56I've been thinking about you.
00:54:14Meet her.
00:54:26I called the office yesterday looking for you.
00:54:39Oh, yeah?
00:54:41Claudia said you weren't feeling well. She thought you might be at the doctors.
00:54:47I, um, I had an appointment, but I never got out of my meeting.
00:54:56Where was the meeting?
00:54:57At the, um, client's hotel.
00:55:07Which hotel?
00:55:07The Hilton.
00:55:14I'm sorry.
00:55:16I'm sorry.
00:55:16I'm sorry.
00:55:18I'm sorry.
00:55:20I'm sorry.
00:55:22I'm sorry.
00:55:25I'm sorry for being nosy.
00:55:27I just like to picture what you do during the day.
00:55:54Where'd you get this?
00:56:01Debra gave it to me.
00:56:09She has good taste.
00:56:19Adam, I got a call about, um, a weird call about the article.
00:56:25And there's this woman named Michelle Stowe.
00:56:28She sent a fax.
00:56:33Didn't happen to us.
00:56:34I never raped her.
00:56:37I shouldn't have.
00:56:40I've known her since we were kids, and I think she saw me as a way out.
00:56:47If you met her, you'd understand.
00:56:50I'm not surprised she contacted you.
00:56:55I'm just sorry you had to hear all that.
00:57:09Hi, there.
00:57:10Are you ready?
00:57:11I'll just get my jacket.
00:57:13Hi, Alice.
00:57:14Hi.
00:57:19I'm sorry to part you in like that, but your husband refuses to understand
00:57:22the fact that sponsors need talk shows.
00:57:25I didn't know you'd only show up if I drove.
00:57:33Why didn't you tell me you're going to be on a talk show?
00:57:36It's just a stupid jazz show.
00:57:42Bye, Alice.
00:57:54Bye.
00:59:24Are you trying to call Harris?
00:59:43Yes, Adele Blanchard.
00:59:45Uh, which city, please?
00:59:46It's London.
00:59:47Do you have a listing for Adele Blanchard on Marchmont Road?
00:59:51One moment.
00:59:55This train will now be departing.
01:00:08Please mind the door.
01:00:24Yes?
01:00:37I'm looking for Adele Blanchard.
01:00:40I'm her mother.
01:00:41Is she home?
01:00:46You must be one of her American friends.
01:00:48We tried to contact everyone.
01:00:55She's been missing for eight months.
01:00:59Missing?
01:01:00What did you say her name was?
01:01:04Joanna.
01:01:06She never tried to contact, um, her husband?
01:01:09Not even a letter to an old boyfriend or something?
01:01:11Eight months?
01:01:12And not a word.
01:01:15And this is from a daughter who manages to email her mother from Nepal.
01:01:25Joanna, promise me you'll never think the worst about Adele.
01:01:31It helps a little if one tries to be positive.
01:01:44She was so happy that day.
01:01:47No jitters, nothing.
01:01:49Do you know him?
01:01:52Adam Towes.
01:01:55She climbed all over the world with him.
01:01:58My son-in-law, Michael, is a trader in Milan.
01:02:03At first, she never stood in her way when it came to climbing.
01:02:08But after two years, he got fed up.
01:02:11It was either climbing or the marriage.
01:02:14The day before she was supposed to go back to Milan,
01:02:19she went out and never came back.
01:02:25I found that in her bags.
01:02:29It's probably the last picture taken of her.
01:02:34Today, I'm going to take a picture of her.
01:02:37It's probably the last picture taken of her.
01:02:43Today, I've had two signs that Adele is close by.
01:02:48You arrived and Adam called.
01:02:58He wanted to know if there was anything new in the investigation.
01:03:05Would you like to stay for dinner?
01:03:07No, thank you. I just have to get home. It's really late.
01:03:12I'm disappointed.
01:03:14He should be here around five.
01:03:20You and Adam would love each other.
01:03:25Sit, sit.
01:03:26I'll get it.
01:03:37What's the matter with you?
01:03:38I'm so sorry.
01:03:39Would you mind if I settle up with you next weekend?
01:03:41I haven't managed to get to the bank yet.
01:03:43Yes, of course.
01:03:46I'm so injured.
01:03:47Oh, darling.
01:03:48I'm sorry. I just have to get back.
01:03:49It's really late. I don't want to be late.
01:03:51Would you stay a little?
01:03:52I'm sorry.
01:04:06This train is about to arrive. Please mind the doors.
01:05:06Adam?
01:06:06I'll be right back.
01:06:36Ah!
01:07:06Mm.
01:07:21Mm.
01:07:46What are you doing?
01:07:48What am I doing? You can leave mine!
01:07:58Sometimes I feel like I don't know you.
01:08:01Oh, you know me.
01:08:05You know everything you need to know.
01:08:10Look at me.
01:08:14Open your eyes.
01:08:17Please.
01:08:19Open your eyes!
01:08:34Have you been with another man?
01:08:38No.
01:08:40What are you doing then?
01:08:43What's going on in there?
01:08:46Why are you, why do you keep sneaking around?
01:08:49Is the suspicion exciting? Do you need it to get off? What is it?
01:08:55I found Adele's letters.
01:09:00You...
01:09:02found...
01:09:04her letters?
01:09:08Is that how you tell the story?
01:09:11They were just sitting at my keys on the table and you just happened to notice them.
01:09:31Look what I just happened to find. These and these.
01:09:35And I found these here. Read them! I have nothing to hide, Alice!
01:09:59You sneak around behind my back because you need it to get rougher and rougher? I mean, is that it?
01:10:08I'm trying to understand you, Alice. To do this, I punish you?
01:10:14Is that where you're going?
01:10:22Adam.
01:10:26Please untie me.
01:10:29If you trusted me, you wouldn't be in this position, Alice.
01:10:40I just...
01:10:42I wanted to know more about you.
01:10:45And I wanted to know your past, and I wanted to know your stories.
01:10:52I just thought if I knew more, that I could love you more.
01:11:01I know the only thing that matters is us together. I know that.
01:11:06Because when you're not around, I get lost.
01:11:10It drives me crazy to think about losing you.
01:11:20I'm yours, Alice.
01:11:24What more do you need to know?
01:11:35I could break your neck. I love you so much.
01:11:44Do you want to stay here?
01:11:46I mean...
01:11:49Do you like this?
01:11:54Adam.
01:11:56I have to pee.
01:12:16Oh, my God.
01:12:45Alice! Alice!
01:12:50Alice!
01:12:53Alice, please, don't do this! Alice!
01:12:58Alice!
01:13:01Please!
01:13:03Where are you going?
01:13:06Please! What are you doing?
01:13:36Alice.
01:14:05Oh, my God.
01:14:35And that's when I came to you.
01:14:57I want to be clear with you.
01:15:00In my experience, charges of domestic violence are usually too little, too late.
01:15:04I want you to reopen the Adele Blanchard case.
01:15:09It's not easy to reopen a case like this.
01:15:11Britain's swimming in missing persons.
01:15:13He killed her.
01:15:14Mrs. Tallis.
01:15:15Any case, missing person or murder, needs evidence.
01:15:20I have to ask you what you have.
01:15:22Adele's letters?
01:15:25No.
01:15:26Morning notes?
01:15:29No.
01:15:30You have two photos.
01:15:35Proof of nothing.
01:15:38He raped Michelle.
01:15:40She never reported it.
01:15:50Yes.
01:15:55It's all without me.
01:15:56I'll be there in a bit.
01:16:02I'd like to help you, Mrs. Tallis.
01:16:06Do what everyone else does.
01:16:08She'd like it.
01:16:10We can't see you.
01:16:12She's pretty shaken up.
01:16:14Is she?
01:16:16What do you mean, is she hurt?
01:16:17Jesus, she was running into traffic.
01:16:18Let's get a doctor.
01:16:20She'll be fine.
01:16:25I would never hurt her.
01:16:30I love her.
01:16:32You brought him in?
01:16:34He walked in looking for you.
01:16:37He brought in a pair of shoes.
01:16:38He was worried about your feet.
01:16:46I believe your husband has the potential for violence.
01:16:51I believe he's unpredictable.
01:16:53But is he a murderer?
01:16:57I don't know.
01:17:00The truth is, what you two have been doing together, it was consensual.
01:17:05You said it yourself.
01:17:08You liked it.
01:17:30Can you close the blinds?
01:17:39I won't be able to keep them for much more than a few hours.
01:17:44That's as much of a window as I can give you.
01:17:49You're accusing a hero, Mrs. Tallis, and you have absolutely no evidence.
01:17:55Deborah!
01:17:58Deborah!
01:18:00Alice.
01:18:01What's happened to you?
01:18:02Deborah.
01:18:03I'm sorry, I'm just, I'm not crazy.
01:18:06I just, I went to the police station, but no one believed me, and I just, I just,
01:18:10he came in and he brought my shoes and they thought I was nuts,
01:18:12but I'm not crazy.
01:18:15I'm not crazy.
01:18:16I'm not crazy.
01:18:17I'm not crazy.
01:18:19I'm not crazy.
01:18:20I'm not crazy.
01:18:21He came in and he brought my shoes and they thought I was nuts,
01:18:23but, I mean, I know he's your brother, but, I mean, you were her friend,
01:18:26so maybe you could, um, look, remember when you said that you were either with him or not,
01:18:30you're not, no discussion?
01:18:31Mm-hmm.
01:18:32Well, um, I'm not, I'm just, I'm trying to understand.
01:18:34I, I, I, I just, I want to ask, I mean, um, uh,
01:18:40was Francois with someone else?
01:18:45He hates me.
01:18:55It wasn't an accident.
01:18:57She left him.
01:18:59So he killed her.
01:19:10Okay.
01:19:20This is the anchor that we used.
01:19:24It's made of titanium, but the important thing is it can hold 2,000 falling pounds.
01:19:29I've got a friend in Kathmandu who sent me an anchor that they're making locally
01:19:33with the wrong material.
01:19:35This is what happened with just 75 pounds.
01:19:39Maybe you're right.
01:19:41Adam could have switched the anchors for Francois' group.
01:19:49He killed them.
01:20:19Leave him, Alice.
01:20:31I know him.
01:20:33You have to leave him for your own good.
01:20:37Debra?
01:20:38Debra, it's, it's not the only time.
01:20:40What?
01:20:41I think that, um, he was with a woman in Tell Blanchard,
01:20:44and I think that she, she was going to leave him to go back to her husband,
01:20:47and I, I think that, that he killed her.
01:20:50Adele was never going to go back to Michael.
01:20:53Everyone knew their marriage was over.
01:20:57I read her letters.
01:21:00She ended it with, with Adam.
01:21:04And, uh, I just, um, I think that, uh, that she's there.
01:21:09What?
01:21:13I went to the police.
01:21:14The police, they won't do anything.
01:21:15They need evidence.
01:21:18I think he buried her here at St. Edmund's.
01:21:22I need you to help me find her.
01:21:26Do you want to go with me?
01:21:41I have a confession to make.
01:21:46I sent you those notes.
01:21:49I know about my brother's violence.
01:21:52I've seen it.
01:21:56I should have done more, but there's no excuse.
01:22:02But he scares me.
01:22:08I'm glad you got away from him, Alice.
01:22:12You'll be okay now.
01:22:38Come on, let's go.
01:23:03Come on.
01:23:12Come on.
01:23:33Come on.
01:23:53Can I take that?
01:23:54Yeah, sure.
01:23:58I think it's here.
01:24:01I took the pictures, just by the angel.
01:24:32Come on.
01:24:46Oh, my God.
01:24:49Deborah.
01:25:12Come on.
01:25:23Deborah.
01:25:30She didn't have to die.
01:25:37She didn't have to die.
01:25:40She didn't have to die.
01:25:43She didn't have to die.
01:25:46She didn't have to die.
01:25:49She didn't have to die.
01:25:52She didn't have to die.
01:25:55She didn't have to die.
01:25:58She didn't have to die.
01:26:01She didn't have to die.
01:26:04Fucking Alice.
01:26:07That's right.
01:26:08We fucked right here.
01:26:17Adam is mine.
01:26:19He's mine.
01:26:37Why?
01:26:39I was never yours.
01:26:41We were kids.
01:26:42Kids.
01:26:46It's over.
01:26:48It's all over.
01:26:52Alice!
01:26:57Come on.
01:27:16Adam.
01:27:45Come on.
01:28:03She and I.
01:28:09We used to come here together.
01:28:18I just thought you had to trust me.
01:28:43Come on.
01:29:08That's how it ended.
01:29:11We passed by without at least one thought about the passion.
01:29:16Maybe I was so blinded by it that I missed all the clues to his past.
01:29:32I often wonder what would have happened if I hadn't looked up that morning.
01:29:48Years later, I saw him once more.
01:30:18I don't know.
01:30:32Maybe a Flatlander like me can't live at that altitude.
01:30:38Maybe it never would have been possible to sustain what we had.
01:30:43Maybe.
01:30:46Well, that's what I tell myself.
