00:30Paddy, I'm fine.
00:43Good.
00:45So's Ella.
00:46Well, Mandy said she's still a bit worried,
00:49but I'm sure they'll put her mind at rest at the scan.
00:52I appreciate the situation's a bit awkward.
00:54Mandy's her friend, but...
00:57If you've come to dissuade me from going to the scan...
00:59I just thought you'd appreciate her sounding bored.
01:01Might want to offload after yesterday.
01:04Look, if you weren't concerned for her,
01:05you wouldn't have put her up in a B&B last night.
01:07I tell you what concerns me is I cannot trust a word she says.
01:10Maybe she doesn't trust anyone.
01:13Maybe she hides behind her lies, like a mask.
01:16Did Mandy read that in a magazine?
01:18No.
01:20I did.
01:22Look, we're all bang on about supporting people,
01:25but when you scratch the surface, we're all a bit judgy.
01:28I'm not unsympathetic, but...
01:32do I really want that woman in my life raising my child?
01:35So it is your child now.
01:38She's having a paternity test, so...
01:41we'll know soon enough.
01:45Maybe I shouldn't go.
01:47Miss the first milestone of your child's life.
01:50Might regret that later.
01:54I know sleeping in Angelica's room isn't ideal.
01:57It is a bit like sleeping in a shrine,
01:59but I can cope with all the pink.
02:02I'm just grateful to have family around me.
02:05How's Belle settling in?
02:08I don't know. I'm giving her some space.
02:12You're a good lad.
02:28Coffee at the B&B still not improved?
02:31Nope. And the barista in here is really hot.
02:38Tea?
02:38Hot and sweet, just like you.
02:40Still got it.
02:43I'm here because a cafe is the perfect place for an alibi.
02:47Are you taking a hit out on Caleb?
02:49Codename, Icarus.
02:51Oh, flew too close to the sun and crashed and burned.
02:54Didn't know you studied the classics.
02:56I haven't, but I watch QI. I've got a crush on that bloke.
02:59Stephen Fry?
03:00No, the thick one.
03:02Seriously, though, what's this surprise you've got planned for Caleb?
03:06If I told you that, I would have to kill you.
03:09You reckon you could take me in a scrap?
03:13You'd probably fight dirty.
03:15Besides, it's best you don't know.
03:17Claws are ball deniability.
03:18Yeah, well, as long as it's not you who gets burned.
03:23I'm wearing Kevlar knickers.
03:26Oh, these pictures are beautiful.
03:30Can we go and live in Bali?
03:31No.
03:32You're so mean, I should divorce you for unreasonable behaviour.
03:35I'm working.
03:36You can work remotely from Bali.
03:38Why do we always have to come back to the village of the dam?
03:40There's always trouble and stress here.
03:42We could be having beaches and sun.
03:46Don't answer that, you're a bad, bad husband.
03:48No.
03:51Oh, Caleb Milligan's supervillain, who's this?
03:55Oh, sorry, officer.
03:58What's up?
03:59What is it, is it Nicky?
04:04Oh my God, when?
04:06Right, yeah.
04:07Yeah, I'll come straight over now.
04:09Right.
04:12Her car phone's burned down.
04:14Early hours.
04:20Rachel.
04:21Hi.
04:21Hiya.
04:25You missed your appointment again.
04:27I was worried about you.
04:28How've things been?
04:42Ella.
04:44You okay?
04:44Any more pains?
04:45It's been fine overnight.
04:47I think it's better if I do this on my own.
04:50Well, for who, you?
04:52I'll do the scan and I'll grab you a copy of the screenshot or whatever.
04:55Ella, I'm coming.
04:56I don't want you there.
04:57Why?
04:58Because of this.
05:00You doubting and judging me.
05:03I'm meeting my unborn baby for the first time and I don't want you to spoil it for me.
05:12You've definitely got your mum's smile.
05:17So, Tom's moved out and you've moved back in?
05:20Yeah.
05:21I know, it's a lot.
05:23I've just been a mess ever since we got married, so it wasn't fair on him.
05:27You said it was you who ended things?
05:29How's Tom taking the break-up?
05:32He's even had the locks changed for me.
05:34Has he?
05:36Yeah, that was a boundary.
05:38To just make this place feel like my own.
05:40No dropping in.
05:42Good for you.
05:44That's important.
05:48I meant to put that away earlier.
05:50Well, you can do whatever you like with the place now it's yours.
05:53Really make it your own.
05:55And how are you feeling in yourself, Belle?
05:57You taking your meds now?
06:00Lydia phoned and asked for some advice.
06:04Your family were all really concerned about you when you came off him.
06:07That was just a big misunderstanding.
06:09I never stopped taking them.
06:11Tom got the wrong end of the stick.
06:13Well, if you ever find you don't want to talk to your family or your mates,
06:17I'm always here for a chat.
06:18No pressure.
06:20Thanks.
06:21I'm good, I'm moving on.
06:25Taking control of your life might seem a bit scary, but
06:28I bet it feels good too.
06:31And if you find you ever get lonely here on your own,
06:33you've got plenty of family to bother.
06:35I know.
06:36Thanks for coming, Rachel.
06:38Bye.
06:43Bye.
07:14Oh.
07:19Yes, so it was on the local news.
07:21Apparently Caleb's building and all his stock went up in flames.
07:25Oh, all those beautiful luxury cars.
07:28What a waste.
07:29Oh, sorry, are you in the middle of a committee meeting?
07:31Oh, heaven forbid, no.
07:34I'm starting a book club. Are you interested?
07:36I'm in. So's Bob.
07:37Help me.
07:39Well, actually, my evenings are quite free now, so...
07:43Well, I suppose I could start reading, yeah.
07:45Perfect. I'll add you to our group chat.
07:48Oh, lovely.
07:50Oh, what are you doing here?
07:53I thought we were going to do different shifts.
07:57I want to establish some ground rules.
08:00I'd like you to run any senior management decisions past me.
08:03Menus, rotas, I'll be doing the ordering too.
08:07We need to keep a check on the budget.
08:09Why are you micromanaging me, Jay?
08:11You used to undermine me and I let it go because we were married.
08:15But now you're just staff, so you need to do things my way
08:19and show me the proper respect.
08:21I don't really know what to say to that, excuse me.
08:31Everything OK?
08:33No, I've got my scan this afternoon
08:35and the stupid taxi's been stuck on five minutes away since forever.
08:40Oh, great. Now it's cancelled on me.
08:43Leaving early?
08:45I hate being late.
08:47Well, I could drive you.
08:51I promise not to say or do anything to ruin it for you.
08:57Ella, if this is Liam's baby, do you not think he should be there?
08:59And if it is, then I would hate to miss this milestone.
09:04Guess I can't say no, then.
09:11Well, it's a complete mess. Everything's burnt out.
09:15Thank God I got the insurance before we went away.
09:20Yes, that was pretty good timing.
09:22I told the detective you were on your way back, so she said she'd wait.
09:26Mr Milligan, 1L.
09:29Caleb, also 1L.
09:32I just have a few preliminary questions.
09:36Where were you in the early hours of this morning, between 4 and 6am?
09:40Er, I was here, asleep, with my wife.
09:43Just tell her that.
09:44Sorry, I don't really understand why you're here.
09:47The fire investigator suspects arson, so we're investigating.
09:51You think someone set the place on fire?
09:53Who'd want to do that?
09:55Well, hopefully I'll find out.
09:57Well, if it is arson.
10:00I understand you had some cars stolen from these same premises a few months ago?
10:05Er, yeah. Yeah, that's right.
10:08They were never recovered and there have been no arrests to date?
10:11No.
10:12And you're still with the same insurance company?
10:14Yeah, same one.
10:16And you increased the premiums just before your holiday?
10:19So what?
10:21A couple of weeks ago?
10:25How's business been lately?
10:29Yeah, it's good, thanks.
10:31Why?
10:33As I said, I just have a few preliminary questions.
10:37But we'll wait for the fire investigator's conclusive report.
10:41And if it does confirm arson, I will find out who's responsible.
10:59Hiya, love.
11:01Is your camera broken?
11:03No, it's fine.
11:05Well, aren't you best leaving it up then?
11:07You know, considering the break-in and now you're here on your tod.
11:10I never wanted it up there in the first place. It's my decision now, isn't it?
11:13Course it is, love.
11:15And hey, if anyone knows how to disable a CCTV system, it's our family, eh?
11:20Rude.
11:22I've got some new keys, so I'll...
11:24Rude.
11:26I've got some new keys, so I'll give you a spare.
11:29Righty-o.
11:31I'm meeting Kim in the pub, if you fancy coming.
11:35I heard you spoke to Rachel about my meds.
11:39We were worried about you.
11:41I get that. But I wouldn't just stop taking them.
11:44Quite right.
11:46Hey, erm...
11:48Do you fancy coming to ours for tea later?
11:51Great. Vinnie will be pleased to see you.
12:00Oh! Reminds me of that stuff in Ghostbusters.
12:03What, ectoplasm?
12:05OK. Are you ready to meet your baby?
12:08A bit scared.
12:10Your dad looks more nervous than you.
12:12Oh.
12:22Is there a problem?
12:27Are you having difficulty locating it?
12:30What's up?
12:32Is the machine dodgy?
12:34Why else?
12:36Well, keep trying. I'll maybe get somebody else to do it.
12:39I'll get my doctor to take a look.
12:52I knew it.
12:56I should never have got my hopes up.
12:58What?
13:00Why can't she find her heartbeat?
13:04Well, that's because...
13:08..there is no foetus.
13:10A baby, Liam.
13:12I told you, it's a baby.
13:16Are you saying it's died?
13:18Oh, spare me the...
13:21Ella...
13:23..you're not pregnant.
13:25And you never were, were you?
13:27What?
13:29No, I am.
13:31Wait! The doctor's come in.
13:34That's why you didn't want me to tag along.
13:39Yeah, makes perfect sense now.
13:52SHE SIGHS
13:56No.
13:58I don't want one of those apologies.
14:00It's just an excuse to have a go at me, Jay, OK?
14:03I got an email from your solicitor about declaring assets.
14:08Oh. That's just a standard form.
14:10I've had to fill one in, so...
14:12But why?
14:14You've got your house, I've got mine, so...
14:17Yeah, but I've got a mortgage, unlike you.
14:19Really?
14:20OK, I see.
14:22So you want to get your hands on my half of Holgate, hmm?
14:28Two can play that game, Lauren.
14:30Come on, won't you stop?
14:31Just fill the forms in, go to mediation,
14:33so we can keep our mockable, all right?
14:35Thank you.
14:36Thank you. Bye-bye. See you soon. Bye.
14:40Mediation?
14:42Sounds more like a negotiation.
14:44So you kicked me out and now you want to rinse me?
14:47No, it doesn't matter who ended things, OK?
14:49But I am still entitled to my fair share.
14:52There you have it.
14:54Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Exhibit A.
14:58Rest my case.
15:18SIGHS
15:29I know how it looks, but I didn't burn my own place down.
15:33It's got to have been an accident.
15:35What if it wasn't?
15:40Nah.
15:42No, she might be a vengeful witch, but her beef's ancient history.
15:46It'd make no sense.
15:50Look out. Incoming.
15:54How was the holiday? Thailand, wasn't it?
15:57Poor man's borough borough.
15:59It was a barley, actually. You need better intel.
16:02Or maybe I just need to pay more.
16:05Heard about that terrible fire at your premises?
16:08I told you about that.
16:11Is that smoke I can smell on you?
16:14Or desperation?
16:16No, it's neither. It's anticipation.
16:18Have a nice big fat insurance payout.
16:25No, seriously.
16:27I thought it was deliberate.
16:29Don't let that detective rattle you.
16:34That man has a good poker face.
16:38But if anyone thinks they can dupe me, they can think again.
16:45Ooh.
16:47Do you know, I reckon we need a good thriller.
16:50What about a Grisham?
16:52A classic. Jane Eyre.
16:55Moonraker.
16:58Hey, we could read all the Bonds.
17:03Go and see if the lads have any ideas.
17:07How's it going, chaps?
17:09Hey, Kim Tay said I was hot earlier.
17:12Had she been drinking?
17:14Stone cold sober.
17:16I mean, she was mocking me, of course, but still.
17:19Laurel's after rinsing me for my assets.
17:22That didn't take long.
17:24Well, that doesn't sound like her.
17:26She was happy to have an affair with you.
17:28I'm sorry, what is it, International Kate Bob Day?
17:31Yeah, come on, Jay.
17:33It's probably best if me and Bob stay neutral on this one.
17:36Moral Laurel is not the victim here.
17:39Believe me.
18:02Are you absolutely sure?
18:04I'm not a trained sonographer,
18:06but pretty certain I would have recognised her foetus.
18:11So there was no baby?
18:14There never was.
18:16She just made the whole thing up.
18:18But why would she do all this?
18:20Cos she's unhinged, Paddy.
18:24She killed her friend,
18:26visited that poor child's mother,
18:29who's vulnerable with dementia,
18:31and made her think that she was her daughter.
18:34I mean...
18:37I don't know, she must just get some kind of sick thrill from it.
18:41I'm sorry.
18:43I'm so sorry. This is just...
18:46..beyond cruel.
18:48But she acted like she was massively shocked.
18:55Yeah.
18:56You know...
18:58..when we were in front of the...
19:01..ultrasound screen...
19:05..I really allowed myself to start to feel like...
19:09..I could be a father again.
19:13See, you know, it just feels like...
19:17..yet another loss.
19:20I'm sorry.
19:22I knew it.
19:23I knew it.
19:25I knew I shouldn't have believed her.
19:28And the sonographer called me Dad.
19:32Yeah.
19:36And now this...
19:39..fictitious, fantasy baby...
19:43..is gone. What am I supposed to do with that?
19:48And I should be relieved there is no baby,
19:50because the woman is obviously deeply disturbed.
19:57She needs to leave, Paddy.
20:01I want her gone.
20:11Thanks for ringing.
20:14I didn't know what else to do or where else to go.
20:17The hospital called me after you both ran off.
20:20They're very worried about you.
20:23As am I.
20:24Come on.
20:29I just started walking and I found myself on the bus.
20:35What did I do wrong?
20:37Nothing.
20:39Ella, there's nothing you could have done.
20:42They couldn't see my baby on the scan and...
20:45..now Liam thinks I've made the whole thing up.
20:51I'm not mad, Mampreet.
20:53I did tests.
20:56I didn't imagine the results and neither did Liam.
21:00No, I know.
21:02And he will have seen this kind of thing before.
21:04Sadly, it's not that rare.
21:06What kind of thing?
21:09What you had was an anembrionic pregnancy.
21:13It used to be called a blighted ovum or silent miscarriage.
21:17It's basically where the sperm fertilises the egg,
21:20the egg implants in the uterus, but it fails to develop.
21:25So there was a real baby?
21:28Yes, you did conceive.
21:31You were definitely pregnant.
21:44Tonight at nine, DCI Stan Hope uncovers a web of intrigue,
21:48betrayal and lost promises in order to find her killer.
21:51That's Vera.
21:52But first, to find out if tonight's new set of famous faces
21:55can master a hob, it's new Cooking With The Stars next.
