Nicola Walker: Helen Bartlett

Quotes 

• Helen Bartlett : Helen:

  [at Janet's house, haltingly] 

  Helen Bartlett : He said... He said they'd had a fight, and he'd accidentally hit him harder than he meant to. Smacked his head against a wall. He made me help him, then he said I couldn't tell anyone about it. Because if I did, I'd be in just as much trouble as him. But then, y'know, over the years, I half-convinced meself it never happened, and that I'd dreamt it, made it up, imagined it. So, I just... I wanted to look. I wanted to know.

• Helen Bartlett : I didn't have to tell you anything.

• DC Janet Scott : Helen, you can't stay here. I know that you haven't got any other family, but... You... You must have friends, a friend, someone.

  Helen Bartlett : [shakes her head]  I was going down the bus station. But they followed me, the reporters. I asked them to leave me alone, but they wouldn't.

  DC Janet Scott : You should have gone to a police station.

  Helen Bartlett : [laughing bitterly]  Yeah, right! You think that's happening!

  DC Janet Scott : That's where we're going now. Get your things.

  Helen Bartlett : I'm not going anywhere.

  DC Janet Scott : I'll contact Witness Protection. We'll try and sort you out a B&B or something.

  Helen Bartlett : Got no money.

  DC Janet Scott : Get your things.

  Helen Bartlett : Why don't I just stay here? Just tonight. It's warm.

  DC Janet Scott : No. It's inappropriate.

  Helen Bartlett : I'm not going anywhere else.
