1
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,800
Good morning, Terry.

2
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,680
May I have your bag?

3
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360
'This is a pleasant place.

4
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,360
'They are pleasant people.'

5
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,040
But what's going on here
isn't exactly medicine.

6
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,480
A winter day, a Swiss winter day.

7
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,520
Everything looks lovely.

8
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Can you manage?

9
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,880
Yes. I think so.

10
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,480
I'm just tired.

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Lift your legs up here. Right, yes.

12
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Thank you.

13
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,880
INAUDIBLE CHAT

14
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,560
Are you going to have tea
or coffee or anything?

15
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,560
I'm having coffee, darling.

16
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,160
Das heisst noch ein Tee.
Will er einen Kaffee?

17
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Ja, ja, und einen Tee.
Sie will einen Kaffee?
Sie will einen Tee.

18
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,160
Peter, you don't mind
if I ask you several times -

19
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,920
are you sure you want to die today?

20
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Yes, I'm sure. Yes, I'm sure.

21
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,200
Mmm-hmm. Yes.

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,400
I can't believe the calmness.

23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,280
THEY CHUCKLE

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Peter's chatting away
as if this is a tea party.

25
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,720
I feel I have very little choice,
really, in the grand design.

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Unfortunately we have papers to fill
out. Of course. Yes, I understand.

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240
Maybe want one for you too?

28
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,320
I'm sorry for all this paperwork,
but it's necessary.

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,600
That's all right,
of course I understand.

30
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,240
That's fine,
it all makes perfect good sense.

31
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,240
OK.

32
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,480
Shall I take the initial...?

33
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Don't ask me.
It's your decision, darling. Yes.

34
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,640
I'll take it. It's just the timing.

35
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,680
I'm quite prepared to do it now.

36
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,160
When you're ready.

37
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,000
Yes. Yes, yes.

38
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
So I shall go and prepare the drops?

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,440
Yes, please.
I'll be back in a minute.

40
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Thank you, Erika. You're welcome.

41
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,400
Right.

42
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Right.

43
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,080
Right. Thank you.
The drops for the stomach. Yes?

44
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Yes.

45
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Right? Taste OK too?

46
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Yes, the taste is not bad.

47
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,200
No cup of tea or something to drink?

48
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,360
No. I've had my drink now.

49
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,880
That'll do me.

50
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,840
THEY LAUGH

51
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,400
That was fairly innocuous,
I must say, that drink.

52
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,160
The next one is the...

53
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,000
The killer?

54
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,200
Oh, yes!

55
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Take these with the pills.

56
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Tell me which ones you like.

57
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080
I don't think it will matter
a great deal. Praline?

58
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,640
The blues are always good.

59
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,800
This one here?
No, that one and that one.

60
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,960
Not the praline?

61
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720
How long have we been here,
by the way?

62
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
I think you said
it was quarter past.

63
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Ten minutes...it's 25. Oh.
Minutes past.

64
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,520
It's funny, strange how time

65
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,920
has different values
at different occasions.

66
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Not that I'm in a hurry.
But I'm just...

67
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,360
Just interested to know
how long we've been...

68
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Move my foot there, that's better.

69
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Shall I be away? No.

70
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400
No, I'd rather you...
Well, if you don't mind.

71
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,240
You shouldn't be away from him.

72
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,160
Well, if you really want to be away
from him. But, er...

73
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,880
No, I just didn't want to be
appearing to assist him.

74
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,680
No, I don't think
that would be the case.

75
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,120
Peter Lawrence Smedley,

76
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,080
are you sure that you want
to drink this medicament

77
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,040
with which

78
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040
you will sleep

79
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,400
and die?

80
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,720
Yes, I'm quite sure
that's what I want to do.

81
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,280
I give you the medicament.

82
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,040
You're sure? I'm sure.

83
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Thank you.

84
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560
You can have chocolate now.

85
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,920
Oh. What a ghastly taste.

86
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,160
Worse than the one before this? Yes.

87
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Well, yeah.

88
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,000
Bye-bye, Peter. Bye-bye, Erika.

89
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,400
Thank you for looking after me.

90
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:17,560
And I'd like to thank
everybody else.

91
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400
They've been first class too.

92
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,640
Terry... Goodbye.
It's been a privilege.

93
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,840
My wife's very good at putting me
to sleep just by rubbing my hands.

94
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Be strong, my darling. I will.

95
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Just relax. Yup.

96
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,560
PETER GROANS

97
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,040
Water.

98
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,480
No. No water.

99
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920
No... Water...

100
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,640
STUTTERY COUGHING

101
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,360
SNORING

102
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,880
He's sleeping now, very deep.

103
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,480
No pain at all.

104
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,920
He's snoring and sleeping very,
very deep. He feels unconsciousness,

105
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,840
and then afterwards
the breathing will stop,

106
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,640
and then the heart.

107
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,600
Are you all right, Terry?

108
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,200
I'm fine.

109
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Well...for a given value of fine!

110
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480
It's what he wanted.

111
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,680
He was ready to go. Yes.

112
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Now you are allowed to cry.

113
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Let it come out. It does you good.

114
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,720
Everything you kept inside until now,
let it out.

115
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
I don't think I can do that.

116
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,160
It's hard to believe
that I've seen a death.

117
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,280
I'm fine, yeah.

118
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,160
His wife is now bustling off
to organise something,

119
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,240
but I can totally understand why.

120
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,400
Can I say that I was extremely
impressed by how it was done.

121
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,240
I thought that was wonderful.

122
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,440
Thank you, Terry.

123
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,360
As for his wife,
makes me proud to be English.

124
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,000
LAUGHTER

125
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,640
This has been a happy event.

126
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,680
We've seen a man die peacefully,

127
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:37,440
more or less
in the arms of his wife.

128
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,080
Quite quietly,

129
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,240
so that we never...

130
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,040
were actually certain
exactly when he passed away.

131
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,640
And when one thinks
of all the other ways

132
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,840
a person can die,
and in what circumstances,

133
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,560
that would count, as they say,
as a result.

134
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,680
In this time, in this place,

135
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,000
there's something good
about the snow.

136
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,800
Yeah. It's the right kind of snow.

137
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,280
I was in the presence of
the bravest man I'd ever met.

138
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,960
I'm not certain I could do that.

139
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,680
I'm not certain
that my hand wouldn't shake.

140
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,200
But then I'm not certain
what I would really do

141
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,960
if I was really there.

142
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:06,240
I want to stay around
as long as I can,

143
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,840
to see assisted dying
done properly in the UK.

144
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Well, if I die...
I don't mean if I die!

145
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,800
When I die - and all men die -
I would like to die

146
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760
out in the sunshine.

147
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Hmm.

148
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,120
I suppose sometimes
the sun shines in Switzerland.
