Have his wife and son been toId? They wiII be here tomorrow but he wouIdn't want his son to see him Iike this.
What do the doctors say? WiII he wake up? It's hard to say.

Do you understand? It's quite simpIe.
I'II ask Karim to stay with you.
PIease.
Ask Karim.
I know you can hear me, PauI.
In a few seconds, you'II open your eyes.
The drug you've ingested is strong, so I know that it's hard but I want you to try and open your eyes.
Go on.
Come on.
Yes, that's right.
Carry on.
You can do it.
You'II try to move your Iegs but it's no use.
This drug affects the sciatic nerve.
So, your Iower Iimbs wiII stiII be out of action for a bit.
I hope you'II understand.
Sorry.
Good.
Carry on.
Justin Justin didn't survive his injuries.
Dig in.
-Sandra, l've had enough.
- Wait.
We're not Ieaving yet.
I'm getting soaked here.
I toId you, we're not Ieaving yet.
- What are you pIaying at? - I need a cup of coffee.
Where are they? They're sIeeping.
The bodies in the show homes the photo Why aII the drama? So I wouId catch the murderer? So I'd be the great copper I once was and you couId destroy me? To show the worId that you're stronger than me? That's it, isn't it? Why are you smiIing? You make me smiIe, PauI.
Remember how, five years ago, I toId you it wouId be your turn to cry? That time has come.
AII this stuff about show homes and bodies It's not me digging them up.
It's not me.
This is pointIess.
