Broken - Ep6 - Viewing Notes
.
Episode expires in just under 2 hours so I'd better be quick...
He's asked specially for the flashbacks to not happen this time, I think. And they're much briefer than usual.
4:25 He's organising them cleaning and tidying.
5:36 Four members of the North-West Mental Health Foundation Trust all have individual legal representation at Vernon's resumed inquest. (No further action on any police officers, from the internal inquiry). Andrew of the police and three of his colleagues all have individual representation. Helen is representing herself. Presumably she can't afford a lawyer and has no-one to supply one for her.
6:40 Ow, the way he flinches when Helen says "Had Father Michael been around that night, Vernon would still be alive."
7:05 "I will not forgive people who have not asked to be forgiven."
8:15 Chloe's turned up at the church and found her mother's clothes on the jumble-sale rails.
12:15 Oh no, they chose Vernon to send home because he was the one who was most loved at home, who had the safest place to go back to when he really shouldn't have been sent home at all.
Phil Davis is always really good. He's getting a bit old now though.
15:00 money changers.
16>05 gorgeous. get a screen shot.
17:00 If you've only got a fiver to last the week, it MAKES SENSE to gamble it.
Wow, that's moving stuff. Christ took a whip to the money-changers. If we took a hammer to those machines, would we be condemned or applauded? And the congregation stand up and applaud.
18:25 still recognisably Sean's sweet bandy-legged walk even though you can only barely see his feet under his floor-length robes.
18:50 *gasps out loud* men are converging on the betting shop *with sledgehammers*
22:40 Chloe says "What happens when those machines get replaced?" And Michael says "We smash them up again." WE smash them up again." Was he actually there the first time?
26:00 He finally deletes Helen's message, from the night Vernon was killed. His friend/mentor, Adrian Dunbar's character, is there.
29:25 Michael admits to the inquest ("anything else relevant?") that he heard the message and didn't pick up because he was tired and had a long day. Now they're travelling home separately on the same bus.
29:55 nice side shot, he looks younger.
32:20 Andrew's evidence is that ever since Dawn walked into their nick on her first day, they've given her stick, and she's had to work twice as hard as anyone else to prove herself. And THAT is why she sprayed Vernon. Because she had to PROVE herself as decisive and in control
33:40 The jury says the guy who shot him acted lawfully, but Dawn acted unlawfully in spraying him. Overall, he was unlawfully killed.
"Vernon's death certificate will be completed with the findings of this inquest and will be available to Mrs Oyenusi on payment of the appropriate fee." Jeez, bang that bit in there.
Michael doesn't stay to comfort her. Presumably he doesn't feel he has a right to, because he feels, reasonably, that he contributed to the death.
He goes to Helen to ask for forgiveness. "When you [eventually] told the truth, you did it because you couldn't bear to lie on oath? Yes. You did it for yourself, not for me? Yes." She slams the door in his face.
36:55 OMG, the gunshots and Roz have been added to his flashbacks. Adrian Dunbar is so worried about him he stands up ready to do something. Michael is shaking, in a terrible state.
38:30 He's incredible. The way he's shaking, shocked, almost out of control but so so quietly done.
40:00 Looks like his mate has never been to his service before, and he asks if he always gets them, and always at the Consecration. And why then?
"Because I know, in here [heart] that I'm not fit to be a priest."
He says he's packing in the priesthood when his mam dies. It would break her heart if he did it before.
42:45 He's lying ON the bed next to his mother (she's under the covers, he on top) and she says she's sorry for how she treated him. He lies and says he only remembers that she was a wonderful mother.
44:15 She's died. He waits for the stroke of 8 to phone Beth (sister? main carer)
At the wake they have a mad drunken sprint down the road.
Next morning he says he hasn't had a hangover since 8th May 1979, drew xx with Leicester and got relegated. Did he get drunk last night because he'd decided he wasn't a priest any more? He says [local priest] Father Adrian is doing the funeral and Beth says you're doing it, you prick.
The place is packed, far more than for his mass ever. Oh, of course it's not his church, it's in Sheffield. He asks all his brothers to take communion even though they don't usually.
They are to confess their sins and he says he often resented having to visit her, and did it out of duty rather than love. The brothers also look a bit guilty.
53:05 He's doing the consecration bit and looking terrified as he waits for the flashbacks. The chalice is shaking in his hands, very very subtly. He's starting to get quiet fearful hope in his face, fading out the shock.
And he's smiling very faintly because he's got through it without any flashbacks, but he's still shaking. (But it isn't his church). He looks a bit gobsmacked.
The black-haired woman from the first episode, and her little girl. Andrew, who organised this. Blonde woman, can't remember. Another woman I can't place.
Amen, you wonderful priest. Blimey, even betting shop woman is there. Chloe. And Helen takes both his hands. And of course that one means a lot.
