00:00I'm never giving up on us, Belle.
00:11We belong together.
00:20Amelia?
00:21No way.
00:22Well, she's a lot less maintenance than his last relationship.
00:27Brenda!
00:28What are you saying?
00:32She playing at?
00:33Malfy nothing, Pum.
00:34She's getting worse by the day.
00:36She's not herself, Sam.
00:37That's why we have to keep a close eye on her.
00:38Dad!
00:39Dad, can you give us a lift?
00:40Listen, pal, the work's done, so you need to stump up the cash or you're a dead man.
00:53Who's Tomming?
01:00Tom, you thieving exes!
01:17Save the bambi act, I know all about the tablet.
01:27Nick anything from this house again and I'll have the police on you.
01:39Come on, there's no point in hiding.
01:46Look, I don't want an argument and I don't want anything to be awkward, but...
01:53Oh, sorry, you kind of caught us.
01:57Tom.
01:58Can I have a word alone?
02:01Uh, OK.
02:02Hey, do you want to go grab his lunch?
02:05Are you sure?
02:06Yeah, go on.
02:07Treat yourself.
02:09See you later.
02:14I miss you already.
02:30See you later.
02:33Miss you already.
02:36So, go on, then.
02:42Fire away. You said you wanted to talk to me.
02:43I want you back.
02:47You want me back?
02:49What, manipulative, controlling little old me?
02:53Wow. Okay, well, that's a U-turn.
02:59You know what you said about never giving up on us, that we belong together, did you
03:04mean it?
03:05You know I do.
03:09Because I feel that way, too.
03:13This isn't making sense. I mean, why now, Bill? Why would you suddenly...
03:18Because I'm broken. And I can see that now. It's my paranoia. It's killed us. I have killed
03:25us. But seeing you with Amelia, it puts it all into focus. Seeing you kiss her, seeing
03:35you touch her the way you used to touch me.
03:38So you were jealous.
03:41I love you so much. And that love is never going to go away, and I know that now. And
03:48I can't keep fighting it. I am sick of fighting it.
03:55Why aren't you saying anything? I thought this is what you wanted.
04:06You look so beautiful when you cry. I'm glad you just finally woke up. If we are going
04:16to do this, there's got to be changes. I will not tolerate any more of your suspicious ramblings.
04:25Now, I will put my hand up and say that I have made mistakes, too. But the strain of
04:29coping with your illness...
04:31I'm a pain to live with. I'm high maintenance.
04:34You accuse me of killing Piper. Do you realise how twisted that is?
04:38I know. And I will never forgive myself for that, but it's the illness. It destroys you.
04:44It makes you doubt everything.
04:55We are going to make you better. I'm going to make you better. Because no one loves you
05:02as much as I do. No one.
05:09I know that now. What about Amelia?
05:17Leave it to me.
05:22She's struggling.
05:24What, with the break-up?
05:26With everything. Functioning day-to-day, trying to hold on to any thread of sanity. I feel
05:35like I've abandoned her.
05:37Tom, you've done everything to help her now. She's not really your responsibility anymore.
05:45Wow. Did you really just say that?
05:50What?
05:52Talk about cold.
05:54I don't understand.
05:57The woman I married is on the verge of a psychotic episode and you think I should just cut her
06:01out of my life, what, like she's some wart? You're meant to be a Christian, Amelia.
06:06Yeah, I am. I was just thinking of you.
06:09I promised to love, honour and protect her. She's weak and fragile. Do you know how guilty
06:14that makes me feel?
06:15Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't think.
06:19Well, I'm just glad we had this conversation. Me and you, we're clearly not on the same
06:24page. Don't worry. It's not your fault, probably an age thing. You just need time to mature.
06:30What, you're dumping me?
06:36I made a vow to God, Amelia.
06:37Yeah, and we just slept together.
06:42Belle needs me. And I need to fight for my marriage. Come on. Surely you can understand
06:51that.
06:59Tell me it's not true. Tell me this is kind of some sick nightmare.
07:04I thought you'd be putting out the bonneting.
07:06So much for backing off.
07:07Oh, come on, Belle, there's backing off and then there's standing by whilst you screw
07:11up your life. You are not moving back in with him.
07:13Get off me.
07:14You can't control her.
07:16Why not? That your job?
07:18Will you stop it?
07:19I know what I'm doing.
07:22Mrs King.
07:23Belle, please, you don't have to do this.
07:35Oh, home sweet home.
07:48Where is everything?
07:49I wish you well.
07:50I don't understand.
08:06Do you really think I would ever get back with you after everything you've put me through?
08:17I had to show Amelia exactly the kind of man you are. How little she actually means
08:23to you. Because you are never going to do to her what you have done to me.
08:36So all this was just some cheap trick?
08:43I didn't know how to do it at first. But then it just came to me. All of your mind
08:49games, your manipulation. I just had to think exactly like you.
08:55Goodbye, Tom.
08:56Tom! Tom, no, don't!
08:57Like you could ever outsmart me. Do you really think I'd just let you walk out that door?
09:10Tell me, do you want to end up like that precious dog of yours?
09:13Tom, please.
09:14You are mine!
09:15Hmm.
09:16How long is this going to go on for, Belle?
09:43Hmm?
09:44All day?
09:45All day. A week?
09:51Completely humiliated me. Any man would have done the same.
10:05Come on. Clean yourself up.
10:11Today is supposed to be a happy day. Hmm?
10:15Your five-month scan, remember?
10:26Honestly, Belle, your memory. It's so shocking.
10:31It's actually kind of endearing.
10:34Don't worry. I'll take her out. Come on, Pippa. You know the rules. You've got to put your
10:46lead on first.
10:47OK, come on. Come on.
10:56No, don't take her.
10:59Relax. Just chill out.
11:04And finish the rest of your leftover dinner.
11:10I want to see that plate clean.
11:14Come on.
11:34Come on.
12:04Amelia? No way.
12:07Well, she's lower maintenance than his last relationship.
12:10Brenda! I'm just saying.
12:16What's she playing at, mouthing off in the pub?
12:19She's getting worse by the day.
12:21She's not herself, Sam. That's why she needs us to keep an even closer eye on her.
12:25Dad! Dad, can you give us a lift?
12:28Listen, pal, the work's done, so either stump up the cash or you're a dead man.
12:33Come on.
12:49You will never be able to outsmart me, Belle.
12:52Try taking me down again, and I will make sure that you always end up looking madder than you already did.
13:03If you've come for him too, I'm not really interested.
13:07I've already had one argument with the curling tongue. I don't know what...
13:10I'm not here for an argument.
13:13Well, he... he actually bought her the puppy, then.
13:18I'm surprised she's not tied up outside.
13:21What are you on about?
13:24Kerry, we've got to get back to work.
13:27I've got to get back to work.
13:31Kerry, we've got to get her out of here, quick.
13:34She's not safe, and neither's Amelia.
13:37Hey, listen, babe, if you are hearing voices...
13:40I am not ill. I'm not.
13:43I tried to warn Amelia yesterday, but she just wouldn't listen to me, but...
13:46Tom is dangerous.
13:53Has he touched you?
13:56Kerry?
13:58No, not like that. Has Tom ever raised his hand to you?
14:03Is this a joke?
14:04Hey, just answer the question.
14:07No, don't be ridiculous.
14:09Because if he's laid one finger...
14:11Well, there's no prize in guessing who you got this from.
14:13You don't know him like I do.
14:15Look, Belle says that he's been hurting her, and that this has been going on for months.
14:20So, first she tries to get me to break up with him.
14:24And when that doesn't work, she starts just making things up.
14:27That's true.
14:28Amelia, he stuck a hand on...
14:31Oh, let me guess. Under boiling water. Yeah, you're too late.
14:34He's already told me everything.
14:36The tracking app you had on his phone, the doggy cam that you used to spy on him.
14:39No. He did those things to me.
14:42I'm just really happy that he's told me everything first.
14:45Kerry, come on, I'm not lying.
14:48Right, well, how come every single tale that you've spun she already knows?
14:51This is what he does. He gets one step ahead.
14:55Like faking a miscarriage wasn't bad enough.
14:58I think you need help.
15:00Belle, do you want me to call someone?
15:02I mean, I can go get Lydia if you're not feeling well.
15:04Never mind Lydia, I think we need to get the men in the white coats.
15:07I'm not crazy.
15:08Well, you're doing a pretty good impression.
15:10Amelia, please, just listen. If you don't want to believe me, then fine.
15:13But that man, he has harassed me, he's stalked me, he's hunted me down.
15:17Like I was his prey.
15:19He's burnt me, he's beaten me, he's made me feel like I'm losing my mind.
15:22And I've protected him.
15:24I've died for him, I've covered for him, and I'm not going to do it anymore.
15:27He was a dead man.
15:29Cain!
15:36Cain, I'm begging you, don't. This is why I didn't tell you.
15:38Oi!
15:40What kind of a man does that to a woman?
15:42I don't know what you're talking about.
15:44Clearly she's relapsed. I can't believe a word she says.
15:47Cain!
15:49You're the worst person I've ever met.
15:51Please, Cain! Please, Cain, stop!
15:54Cain, no!
15:55Hey! What are you doing?
15:56Get out of here!
15:57Get me out! Get me out!
15:58Cain, no!
15:59Cain, please!
16:00Cain, no!
16:03Dad!
16:04Stop!
16:06Dad!
16:13This is why I didn't tell you!
16:19Dad, I don't think he's breathing.
16:22You'll be all right. You'll see.
16:30If he dies, it's because of your lies.
16:35I saw him, all right. Raining punches.
16:38Poor lad was defenceless.
16:40The man's an animal. Anyone will tell you.
16:43Someone was always going to end up dead.
16:45Gal.
16:47You never meant to hurt him.
16:48It was self-defence, wasn't it, Dad?
16:50What about? She'll look after him.
16:51I don't want Bella, I want you!
16:54Dad!
16:55Dad!
16:58You did this! This is all your fault!
17:15Well?
17:16She's not looking good.
17:18Tom's still not responding.
17:21What was Belle playing at? Mouthing off in front of Cain?
17:24She must have known what he'd do.
17:25She's not herself, Sam. As if we needed more proof.
17:28You don't believe her at all, then?
17:29Normally, I'd always believe the woman. You know that.
17:33But not this time.
17:35We've been here before.
17:37Her imagining all sorts.
17:40No.
17:41All the signs that I've seen pointing to anything wrong
17:44with Belle.
17:45Biting my head off whenever I mention her meds.
17:50What are you doing?
17:51What I should have done days ago.
17:53She can't go on like this.
17:56This is a flaming nightmare.
17:58If Tom don't pull through,
18:00Cain could go down for life.
18:02And what's that going to do to Moira and the kids?
18:04After all that business with Al?
18:07Yeah, Rachel, hi.
18:11Yeah, I'm calling about Belle.
18:14We've got an emergency.
18:39I did try and warn you.
18:42You must have known how this would all pan out.
18:48Still, this is perfect.
18:51Just me and you.
18:53These four walls.
18:55Day after day.
18:57Night after night.
19:12Together forever.
19:38Amelia?
19:40No way.
19:41Well, she's lower maintenance than his last revision.
19:44Brenda!
19:45I'm only saying.
19:51Is she playing at mouthing off in pub?
19:53She's getting worse by the day.
19:55She's not herself, Sam.
19:56That's why we need to keep an even closer eye on her.
20:00Dad!
20:02Dad, can you give us a lift?
20:04Listen, pal, the work's done, so you need to stump up or you're a dead man.
20:11Come on.
20:20Do your worst, Belle.
20:23I'll always win.
20:38Finally!
20:39Sorry, traffic out of Leeds was murder.
20:41Never mind the traffic report. Did they bite?
20:43If you're asking if they agreed to us covering all their corporate events for 2028, the answer is yes.
20:49No way? Seriously?
20:51Oh my God, I can't believe you did it.
20:53Thanks, partner.
20:55You know what I mean.
20:57Five more weddings to go.
20:59I'll get you a latte.
21:00No, I've already told you, we're in a bridesmaids dress.
21:03Oh, she can go as a princess if she wants.
21:05Talking of weddings.
21:08I will see you back at the ranch.
21:11Hey, guys.
21:12How's it going?
21:13Great.
21:14We're really great, aren't we?
21:15Yeah.
21:16Yeah, feeling a lot better now my dress is on order.
21:18Good.
21:19Well, now that that's sorted, how about we talk about venues?
21:22Yeah.
21:23OK.
21:33OK, but he's got an APAC and a Merck.
21:35How many times? I like my independence.
21:37Classic line of spinsters everywhere.
21:39See you tomorrow, kid.
21:48Amelia?
21:49What's happened?
21:51Nothing.
21:53What's happened to your hand?
21:54Oh, it's just an allergy.
21:55It's hurting.
21:56Why's it not on this from then?
21:58What is your problem, Belle?
21:59Why are you always trying to stick your nose in?
22:01I've been there.
22:02I know exactly what he's like.
22:04Yeah, well.
22:05I don't really know what you're talking about.
22:20How many times have I told you to tidy up?
22:24Right, get upstairs.
22:26And keep the noise down.
22:35I couldn't leave you like that.
22:50You need to go.
22:51Now.
22:52What, before Tom gets back?
22:53Get his in the shower.
22:54And if he sees that you're here...
22:55What's he gonna do?
22:56Is he gonna take it out on you?
22:57No.
22:58No.
22:59He worships me.
23:00He treats me like a goddess.
23:01I mean, look at the ring, the flowers that he got for me.
23:05The flowers that he got me today.
23:07What did he do yesterday?
23:10We're in love.
23:13We're getting married.
23:15And it's not my problem that he can't get over that.
23:18It's a scold mark, isn't it?
23:20On your hand.
23:22Amelia, I know it is because he did the exact same to me.
23:24But you don't have to stay here.
23:26You can come with me.
23:27Just leave.
23:28Amelia...
23:29Get out.
23:30And whatever sick fantasy you've got going on in your head, Belle,
23:32you can kick me out of it.
23:34It's cool.
23:36Okay.
23:37That's what you want, but...
23:38I'm here for you.
23:40Whenever you're ready to talk, please remember that.
23:57Who was that?
23:59Ah!
24:02No!
24:03You can't take her!
24:05Oh, Kerry, look, you've got to let her go.
24:07This is so wrong.
24:09She's just a kid.
24:11I know. I know.
24:13Oh, how am I going to tell Dad?
24:16It's Amelia.
24:18She's had some sort of accident.
24:20She fell.
24:21Fell how?
24:22Tom found her at the bottom of the stairs.
24:24Can you look after her?
24:26They need me to make a statement.
24:28Oh!
24:54No-one could have seen this coming.
24:59There's nothing he could have done.
25:01You must just feel numb.
25:03There's no future.
25:05Like...
25:07My heart's been ripped out.
25:09Oh, love.
25:1121.
25:13There's no age.
25:15I just feel so guilty.
25:17Hey.
25:19I'm sorry.
25:21I'm sorry.
25:24Hey.
25:25None of this was your fault.
25:30What happens to Esther now?
25:32She's not herself, Sam.
26:03Ow!
26:05You should have paid for a new door.
26:08I can't do this anymore.
26:10I need help.
26:13OK.
26:23So...
26:26You said you needed help.
26:29That you wanted to talk.
26:33I'm guessing it's not that easy.
26:37You know you're safe here, Belle.
26:40So whatever you want to say,
26:42whatever you feel...
26:44too vulnerable to...
26:46There's no way out.
26:48Everywhere I turn,
26:49it's a dead end.
26:51I can't win.
26:55If I trick him,
26:57he's one step ahead.
26:59If I...
27:01call him out, I look insane.
27:03If I do nothing, then...
27:05No!
27:07You can't do this!
27:09I...
27:11can't keep...
27:13living...
27:15in this...
27:17pinball machine.
27:22Tom has...
27:25Tom's been...
27:30Just say the words, Belle.
27:33Don't be scared.
27:36I don't think I can.
27:40Because if I say them, it makes it real.
27:43But it is.
27:45Real.
27:48And I know...
27:50it feels...
27:52I know...
27:54it feels like once it's out there,
27:56there's no going back.
27:57And I know how scary that is.
28:01But you need to say the words.
28:03And not for me, for you.
28:15Tom's been hurting me.
28:22I know.
28:40It's been going on for months.
28:44Threatening me.
28:47Stalking me.
28:49Tracking my every move.
28:52He spied on me with a camera.
28:56Installed an app on my phone.
29:01You don't believe me.
29:05What?
29:07You think I've relapsed?
29:08No!
29:10Of course I believe you.
29:12Then why are you looking at me like this?
29:15If I look worried, it's because I am.
29:18Tom was right. I can't trust any of you.
29:20Belle, no. Listen to me.
29:22Listen.
29:24I know what it's like
29:26to be abused by a man.
29:28To live every day
29:30with your heart in your mouth and your stomach on the floor.
29:33Oh, yeah, he's railed us in, he's played us all for months,
29:36but do you honestly believe?
29:38I would doubt you about this.
29:40I don't know.
29:42I don't know anything anymore.
29:44I feel like my...
29:46My brain's in pieces.
29:48It's...
29:50It's just fragments and I...
29:52I can't put them together.
29:54And what if Tom's right? What if I am actually losing it?
29:57No. Whatever words he's put into that head of yours,
30:00it's his sickness, not yours.
30:02How can you be sure?
30:04Because I know what a woman looks like when she's been ground down
30:07and it's a million miles away from psychosis.
30:10I'm so exhausted.
30:13I feel like I've just got nothing left inside.
30:19Listen, you know, these fragments...
30:23What if we were to go through them one by one?
30:25Would that help?
30:29I wouldn't know where to begin.
30:33I don't know when it started.
30:36I don't know how or why.
30:38You don't have to worry about it making sense, Belle.
30:42Just let it out.
30:46Thanks, Vinnie.
30:48Shall we have a dance later? Yeah.
30:51Confetti time!
30:55I'd dreamt of that day since I was a little kid.
30:59Mum in some daft hat.
31:02Dad in his only suit walking me down the aisle.
31:08And there I am.
31:11Alone.
31:14Bunking on the sofa on my own wedding night.
31:18Banned from the bedroom
31:20after he'd just slid into everyone I loved.
31:24Must have been crushed.
31:28I felt sorry for him.
31:32It was his big day, too, and he was right.
31:35The whole thing was a disaster. It was a total farce.
31:39A total farce? Oh, yeah.
31:43Family brawls.
31:45Caleb cheating with Tracy.
31:47Mandy paralytic doing the conga.
31:49It was a circus.
31:53What? Nothing.
31:57Go on, say it.
31:59Just when I watched the video.
32:02I don't know, you looked really happy.
32:05Did I?
32:08You must have been covering well.
32:13No, I was happy.
32:17Until...
32:19Until what?
32:23Until Tom wasn't.
32:27So I guess your memory became his.
32:30Sorry I shouldn't be putting words in your mouth.
32:34You're right.
32:38Was it a pattern?
32:41Your mood dictated by his?
32:45Maybe.
32:49Mum was so sure
32:51that I was going to marry a good man.
32:55A kind man.
32:58And that's the thing he was.
33:02He was good, he was kind.
33:08I don't know what happened.
33:23He's always loved me too much.
33:27That was the problem.
33:30He was so afraid of losing me.
33:33Became obsessed.
33:35At first.
33:38And part of me felt...
33:40special.
33:43I know it sounds twisted now.
33:45No.
33:46No, it doesn't.
33:48Having someone love you...
33:51that much.
33:54Someone who...
33:57You're their entire world.
34:00Made me feel complete.
34:06But it didn't last.
34:08The minute...
34:10I felt whole.
34:13That's when the digs started.
34:17Slagging off my dress sense.
34:21Bigging up Gabby and Dawn.
34:23All these...
34:25passive-aggressive little put-downs
34:27that I just couldn't see at the time.
34:30Actually, that's a lie.
34:34I could see them.
34:37But you were too scared to say anything.
34:40I just always knew where they were coming from.
34:44I always knew how insecure he was, how...
34:47damaged.
34:49But does that give him the right to hurt you?
34:52I'm not saying that, but...
34:56he's not all bad.
34:58He's sick.
35:00Sick?
35:03So then he's got no control over his emotions?
35:06Exactly.
35:09So then he's the same when he's at the vets?
35:12With Jimmy and Nicola?
35:15Well, no, but that's different, cos he has to cover it up then.
35:19So then he has a choice, Belle.
35:22He chooses to behave that way only around you.
35:27You don't get it.
35:28If he is sick,
35:30if his behaviour really is out of his control, why
35:33does he only show it around you?
35:35Because I trigger him.
35:36How?
35:38By being the sweetest, kindest, most understanding...
35:42Do you really think I'm a walk in the park to live with?
35:45When I've relapsed, when I'm imagining all sorts.
35:47I've played my part too, OK?
35:49So if I'm gonna be honest, I...
35:51I have to take some ownership.
35:53Like he's doing?
35:58Belle.
36:01Your psychosis was a weapon to him.
36:06You were adamant you took your meds.
36:08Because you did.
36:10And then all that stuff about Piper, you even said...
36:12No, no, I don't know anything for sure.
36:15I cannot accuse someone of what-ifs, can I?
36:17I have no proof.
36:18Belle, why are you defending him?
36:20I'm trying to be fair.
36:22What, like he's been fair to you?
36:25When he sold your car?
36:27When he wrote down every little penny that you spent?
36:31I'm not excusing his behaviour.
36:34But...
36:36Is it any wonder?
36:39When you've got Carl for a dad?
36:44Loads of people have rough starts in life.
36:47They don't all turn into abusers.
36:51Sorry.
36:52I mean, this is the last thing you need, but...
36:55It just hurts to see you so poisoned by all his lies.
37:02Do you think I've been brainwashed?
37:05We all have.
37:09Because that is what men like him do.
37:13Tom is an abuser.
37:16And I know you might not feel ready to call him that, but...
37:19You don't have to knock seven bells out of someone to earn that title.
37:25Oh, no, please tell me you didn't.
37:55No.
38:00The first time...
38:03Was just a posh...
38:05Just...
38:07Sorry.
38:10It could have happened to anyone.
38:15But then...
38:19We had this awful dinner party.
38:22A toast.
38:23To friends and happy futures.
38:25Tom?
38:27You lying bitch!
38:28He found out I was still on the pill and...
38:32I have never...
38:34Seen such rage in his eyes.
38:39He called me manipulative.
38:42Said I was messing with his head.
38:47And my hand...
38:50Oh, no.
38:52It was under the hot tap.
38:57And he didn't do anything.
39:01He just held it there.
39:04He put you...
39:06He said it was just for a second.
39:10He said it was an accident.
39:14And somehow...
39:15Somehow...
39:18I believed him.
39:21But I hurt him too.
39:24Like I said, I'm not Lily White in all this. I should never have lied to him.
39:27So why did you?
39:31Because I knew...
39:34I knew I'd react if I told him the truth.
39:37And if I said something it might...
39:39What?
39:41Result in another accident.
39:44How are you ever...
39:47Supposed to win in that situation?
39:52You can't.
39:59And I found that out...
40:02When he punched me in the stomach.
40:06It just happened.
40:11It happened once.
40:14But it was hard.
40:19It was so hard it took my breath away.
40:23And this is him loving you too much?
40:36So the abortion, was that all because of him?
40:39I wasn't ready.
40:42And there's no way I was going to bring a child into that home.
40:48So you went to the clinic all by yourself?
40:51It was fine.
40:52None of this is fine, Belle.
40:55Somebody should have been with you. I should have been with you holding your hand.
41:00You didn't know.
41:01No, I did.
41:04I did.
41:05I should have been with you holding your hand.
41:07You didn't know.
41:08No, I did.
41:12I knew something wasn't right.
41:15All that guff at that holiday cottage...
41:18Why didn't I trust my gut?
41:22I should have done so much more.
41:24No.
41:26Charity...
41:28When you pushed me...
41:30It just made it worse because I didn't want you to know.
41:33I didn't want anyone to know.
41:35Why?
41:37Because you didn't think you'd be believed.
41:40Because I felt stupid.
41:43And I felt weak and I felt like no one would understand.
41:48You have no idea what it's taken for me to knock on your door.
41:53And telling you all of this.
41:57Breaking over it all.
42:00It's really hard.
42:03And the horrible bit is...
42:07There's more.
42:08There's so much more.
42:10Belle.
42:11We've got all night.
42:13And there is no rush, okay? We're gonna do this your way.
42:16In your time.
42:19Hey.
42:23Hey.
42:25Listen, you coming to me...
42:28It's an honour.
42:29It's an honour.
42:33Just know that you're not fighting this alone anymore, okay?
42:40Now you've told me everything that's been going on.
42:44I promise you things are gonna change.
42:47Okay?
42:49That man is never gonna hurt you again.
42:56Hey.
42:57It's alright.
