Watch Me Sleep

Ah.

Mr. Martin.

I trust you had a good journey.

First of all, I'd like to say how

very sorry I am for your loss.

Nothing can ever prepare you for the loss of a loved one,

especially a parent.

I, on behalf of Pollard & Sons,

would like to extend our deepest condolences

at this difficult time for both yourself and your family.

Well as you can say, she's at the front of our main hall.

We will leave you in peace with her

but if you need anything or you have any questions,

we'll be in the room to the right of the hall.

I'll leave you with her.

Sean!

Hey.

Mate. - How you doing?

How you doing, eh?

So how did it go?

- Good, I suppose. - How does she look?

How does she look?

Like me mum, only dead.

- How long are you staying at your mum's for?

Do I get to see a bit more

of you now at the posh end of the city?

- Until the sale goes through, mate, then I'm out of there.

All right, well, I've put as much stuff

as I can into boxes in the spare room

and there's not much left to be honest, mate.

- Really appreciate that, mate, cheers, thank you.

Want your keys back?

Hang onto 'em, mate,

until the sale goes through, if that's all right.

Yeah, no worries.

I would say let's go to the pub for a beer, but-

But now you've already said it, to me.

What are you doing? - Force of habit, mate.

- Come on. - But look, you are coming

to the party tomorrow though, yeah?

I am even gonna make you a non-alcoholic punch.

How does that sound? - Oh.

That sounds irresistible, mate, yeah.

- Look, tomorrow is gonna be tough for you, Sean, right?

And you need to be around your friends, so.

- I'm all right, mate, don't worry about it.

I'm back at work, I'm all right.

- Are you sure you're ready to be back to work?

Taxi driving, it's not hard.

Yeah, I suppose.

But come on, look, you will be there

because all it's about is doing the things that you love,

just without booze, which is dead easy.

Oh, that's easy, is it?

I wish I'd thought of that.

Jesus, Mark. - All right.

In principle, it's easy. - Yeah, in principle.

- You heading home? - Yes, mate.

I'm gonna walk alone though for a little bit, mate.

Just clear me head if that's all right with you.

Look mate, don't flatter yourself.

I'm going to meet Laura anyway.

But if you need anything,

just let me know and I will see you tomorrow.

- Yeah, all right. - All right, mate.

- Bye. - I'll see ya in a bit.

Mr. Martin?

Yes.

Pete Ackerman, we spoke on the phone.

Mr. Ackerman, nice to meet you.

Can I offer you a drink at all?

- No, thank you. - Okay.

First of all, can I express my deepest condolences-

No need, Mr. Ackerman.

If we can just get straight down

to business, I'd appreciate that.

- Right, sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.

You haven't offended me.

I'd prefer it if we got down

to business, if that's okay with you.

Okay, certainly.

Sorry, my apologies.

Okay, here we have a variety

of high-spec webcams all with built-in nightvision.

They're small enough for discretion

but the quality is of a high standard.

And which one would you recommend?

So I would recommend the DC-9

because that has all the capabilities of the DC-11

but without the additional- - Mr. Ackerman,

you do understand that I just want to put a camera

inside the coffin so that I can see she's dead.

That is what you do, isn't it?

Well, we at Watch Me Sleep

offer the opportunity for loved ones

to gain comfort from such a service.

It's common that loved ones long for one

final look at their loved ones after death.

How do I access the camera?

Well, as you know,

the camera will be fixed on the underside of the lid.

To access, you will be given a special code.

Once you have your code, you will log in on the website.

Once you have this code,

you can never change it.

So please keep hold of it.

With this, you'll be able to log in to the cameras

for approximately five minutes on every one occasion.

Here,

we have a list of packages and subscription options

and we would recommend the four-week option.

- It only goes to four weeks, why only four weeks?

Well, Mr. Martin,

most people find four weeks is more

than substantial for the viewing of their loved ones.

- Okay, and what if I wanted it for longer?

I have to be frank here, Mr. Martin.

The undertakers make the body

very presentable for their loved ones

but you have to understand, this is superficial.

Lots of makeup and toning

is applied to make the person look presentable.

After a short amount of time, that won't be the case.

I want it for longer.

How long are we talking?

12 months at least.

- That's just not possible and even if it were,

I would strongly recommend that you didn't.

What do you mean it's not possible?

You just told me about all these fancy cameras

and you're telling me they won't last 12 months?

- No, it's not that. - So why is it not possible?

It's that it's just not-

I will pay whatever it costs.

- Look, it goes against our policy, Mr. Martin.

- "Our policy," what's all this "our" business?

You're not a corporation, Mr. Ackerman.

I know it's only you, are we gonna do this or not?

- All right, look, you're a straight-talker.

Allow me to be straight with you.

She will not look like your mother in 12 months.

How much will this cost?

I want the best package possible

and here is a few extra quid for your trouble.

If you don't take this,

I'll walk out of here and find somebody who will.

Mr. Martin, please.

You have to understand that such a service

is considered indecent in the eyes of most.

Discretion is paramount here

and while I don't understand your reasons

for wanting this, I'm sure they're founded.

Now while I can't agree to this on paper,

I am willing to turn a blind eye.

However, should anyone ever find out about this,

I would deny any involvement and I'd put it down to hackers.

Do you understand?

Yeah, 12 months.

Okay.

Four weeks

on record

and a further 11 months off record.

I will fix the camera myself later today.

Keep hold of that code because after today,

it can never be changed and it goes without saying

you should never share your code with anyone else.

If you wish to contact me,

please only do so on this number.

Do not try and contact me by any other means.

Are we clear?

Yes.

- It should be a good night in Cardiff.

It's always been a bit of a giggle.

Oh, here we go.

Number four?

- I am setting up at midnight.

We're gonna try and set off about 11 o'clock,

high percent and now it's 2:30.

So I should be with them about 7:00

and we'll do another bloody go, how's that?
