00:00Mystic. He knows you've been bailed. Says he wants us to still send the cake for offering
00:22to take her in. Cost a fortune to send Parking to Ireland. Besides, we've got bigger fish
00:28to fry. You look exhausted, love. I hate the thought of you going to the police on your
00:34own. I was fine, honestly. You could have at least woke us up when you got back. There's
00:40no point in none of us getting any sleep. You definitely didn't tell the Rosses about
00:45us. No. I told them I cleaned it all up, so don't worry. But they're still going to talk
00:49to Charity, even though I told them I forced her to give the alibi. Hopefully she won't
00:54get into too much bother. Have they spoken to Tom yet? I've not heard anything. They
01:00said they'd be in touch. Cheers. You're in early, bud. Well, I am paid to catch the worm.
01:11Have you caught my attackers yet? Not yet. But I believe you've been discharged. Yeah.
01:20Yeah, well, I'm just waiting for a taxi. Unless you want to give me a lift home. I can give
01:25you a lift to the station. Why? Because your wife has made accusations of domestic abuse.
01:32Well, she's lying. We can talk about that at the station. When I said I was mugged yesterday,
01:44I lied. It was her. She attacked me, but I have never hurt her. Never. Thomas King,
01:52you are under arrest for coercive and controlling behaviour and assault. You don't have to say
01:57anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something
02:01you later rely on in court. Do you understand? I'm assuming Dr John doesn't know about this.
02:10Well, no, obviously not. I don't want to keep it that way. Oh, you're lovely. I could
02:16do with one of them myself. Yeah, fat chance of that. So what time are you meeting your
02:21contact? Scratchy. Knocked me back till half one now. Will the lover boy notice that this
02:27is gone? No. He's working all day. So, any plans for the afternoon off? Not one I forgot
02:35about yet, no. I'd like to pour a glass of Merlot, have a small charcuterie board, and
02:42then just lose myself in a murder mystery. Yeah, or I might just crack open a beer and
02:48have a sarnie. Yeah, that sounds lovely too. Where's Elliot? He got on the bus. He said
02:54he'd be quicker than waiting for you. Come on then, stop dawdling. Me? It was you. If
03:01you give me back chat again, then it's half an hour of your game in later. Well, no wine
03:05for you tonight for making me late for school. Life lesson here, Karl. Never ever take wine
03:09up an adult, especially one she's got very cheeky children. Yeah, well, would you fancy
03:13a coffee and a sausage putty for the drive home? I'm not peeing for my own sausages.
03:17I'll make you one when we get home. Yeah, but we've got the fence to bear you. No, I'll
03:20do the fence. You take the call to Mackenzie. He said he was going to serve us at this morning.
03:24No, I'll help you paint first. Mack won't mind. OK, I've already told Mackenzie this,
03:28so I'll tell you as well. I'm going back to work and by myself. I've agreed to check in
03:32regularly, so no arguments. I'll sort the sheep and the fence, and you sort the corn
03:37and the cattle. And the sausage putties. And the sausage putties.
03:44Hi. Hi. Just on a bun run for them lot. Fancy a cake bringing back? Um, good thanks. I'm
03:52a sucker for Brenda's Black Forest, so I've had a slice of that. I'll pay, seeing as I'm
03:57losing Paddy's star employee. I'll get them. You deserve a treat after last night. Yes,
04:02I wanted to speak to you about that. I blame the wine. You can't blame the wine for the
04:07other two times. No, no, I suppose not. I really enjoy being with you. And casual's
04:17fine, but I'd quite like to be exclusive again. I've missed you. More than just the good stuff.
04:26Yeah, me too. Yeah, let's give it a go. Mr. King, in your statement yesterday, you said
04:38that you were mugged by persons unknown. But earlier at the hospital, you said... When I
04:46said I was mugged yesterday, I lied. It was her. She attacked me. So which is the truth?
04:56I was attacked by my wife, Belle King, with an axe, at her family home, at the flat at
05:04the back. For your information, Mrs. King has admitted to the attack and handed in the
05:10weapon. Right. So what's going to happen to her? That's to be decided.
05:20You were very believable yesterday, when you lied. So why lie? I was defending my wife.
05:34Believe it or not, I still care for her. Her illness, it makes her act irrationally. It
05:47makes her do and say things that she doesn't really mean. How did her irrational behaviour
05:52manifest when the two of you were together? Her mood is always up and down. I never know
05:58which Belle I'm coming home to. She's angry all the time. She calls me names. Says that
06:06I'm useless and ugly. Evil. Did it ever get physical between you? She'd smash things down
06:21in front of me. She'd throw things at me, the remote control, other things. She'd push
06:28me around. Once in the street, in front of her family. And yeah, she hit me. But she
06:42was always sorry after. She was always really sorry. Were you ever violent towards her,
06:49apart from during the attack? I think once I bruised her when I was forced to restrain
07:05her. But I was defending myself. I never hit her. Never. I don't know why she is saying
07:14all that because it's her. It's all her. Mr. King, is everything you've just told me
07:24another lie? No. Why? Did you strike a deal with your wife yesterday? A deal. Mrs. King
07:39claims that you asked her not to report the abuse. And in return, you wouldn't report
07:43the attack. Ah, I'm going to have to eat on the run, I'm afraid. Here you go. Take my
07:54coffee. You're a busy doctor. You need to keep your energy up. You're very kind. Do
07:59you think I'm out of touch with the modern world? In what respect? Well, I was speaking
08:05to John earlier about how I spend my afternoons. You didn't mention a charcuterie board, did
08:09you? Yeah, I might have done. Am I an oddball? Course not. We all have our quirks. Some more
08:17than others. And I wouldn't want you any other way. So if you do fancy lowering your standards
08:22and mixing with us plebs, I've just bagged you a 50% lunch voucher for banning a million.
08:27It'd be nice to celebrate getting back together. Sorry, what's banning a million? According
08:31to Instagram, only the dirtiest burgers you can smash your face into, onion rings the
08:35size of your head, and you get to play beer pong while you eat. Shall we say one tomorrow?
08:40Tomorrow? Damn, no, I've got this seminar. Cancel it. I can't miss it, I'm afraid. We'll
08:49do it another time. Yes, definitely. I would love to eat an onion ring the size of my head.
09:02Yeah, she sounds good, man. Yeah, you should think about becoming a mechanic, mate. That
09:15was actually really humorous for you. So how's Myra doing? Yeah, I think it's another world
09:21of good being covered in mud again. Well, you go and check on her while I get cracking
09:26on the cows, OK? Are they OK? What's that? The sheep, mate. Come on. She was the one
09:36that begged me not to report the attack, and I was scared of what she'd do if I did. Why
09:40would she ask you to lie and then come to us with allegations of abuse? I've no idea.
09:45Maybe she felt that I was still going to report her. And were you? I don't know. I was confused.
09:52This is what she does to me. I don't know how to respond to her, how to make her happy.
09:57I'm always scared of her. Mr King, have you ever heard of a screwhead camera? Yeah. I'm
10:09showing Mr King evidence A14. And Mrs King claims that you installed this and several
10:15others in your house. Yeah, I did. But only one downstairs. Was she aware of it? No. So
10:29why did you do it? Did she tell you how she almost burned our house down? No. Because
10:36she did. I installed it to keep her safe. You've never heard of a smoke detector? Have
10:43you ever lived with someone that has mental health episodes? You're always scared that
10:47they're going to hurt themselves. Okay, fine. I probably should have told her, but I did
10:55it for the right reasons. Did you keep any of the footage? No. Why? Well, it would be
11:02useful to see some examples of abuse. I didn't even think of that. It deletes itself after
11:1324 hours. Well, that's a shame. Because in cases like these, we need to seize your electronics.
11:18So if you could provide us with a list of all your devices, laptops, tablets, anything.
11:26Sure. I'll ask my uncle to bring everything in. No, that's not how it works, I'm afraid.
11:31See, we need the list to cross-reference against what the police will find. And I believe that
11:36they're in your house right now.
11:40Arrested? I didn't even know he'd been discharged from hospital. I know. None of this stacks
12:02up. He gets mugged, and then Belle goes to the police with these abuse claims she's been
12:09It doesn't make sense. I'll go and tell Brenda I won't be back. You call the stations, see
12:15what's happening. We'll sort it. I reckon this is either Tom or Nicola's been ordering
12:24in the special Colombian icing sugar again. Those iced fingers are very addictive. Hope
12:30everything's okay. What do you think? Paddy? Vanessa? Emergency at Butler's. Matty's just
12:38called. One, two, three. You always win. She always does scissors. Oh, I need you to thank
12:49you. What for? Ella gave Mandy a voucher for Bunny in a Million. I can't believe you're
12:53not gonna go. The flippin' onion rings are like that. Yeah, I've heard. I've got other
12:58plans, unfortunately. Hated letting her down. Back together? Yeah, we're giving it another
13:03shot. Lovely. Well, why don't you take Ella to the thing? No, I can't. Why not? I just
13:09don't think she'd enjoy a murder mystery event. She might do. Well, the emphasis is more on
13:14the murder than the mystery. Exactly. She doesn't like getting dressed up. No, it's
13:21because she murdered her best friend. Yeah, yeah, sorry, I forgot about the, um, the orb.
13:25Yeah. It's called a spare key. What have you done with them? What's the magic word? Someone's
13:39waiting for them. Yeah, what time you meeting them? Just tell me where they are. Say the
13:47magic word. You saw the village was crawling with coppers today? Yeah. So you're willing
14:00to put you and me at risk to sell some dodgy knockoff watches for a few quid? Well, it's
14:05not for a few quid. Look, you do you, yeah? Play cops and robbers as much as you like.
14:12But I said no to using the van. You ignored me. Don't do it again. Fine. I'm sorry. How
14:21sorry? I'll show you later. Your mate can wait. Show me now. Oh, my God. What is it?
14:33We don't know, Mum. Most of them are dead. That one's in a bad way. Oh, not her too.
14:38Moira, do all the sheep feed from that trough? Well, uh, yeah, but Mattie filled it before.
14:44No, Mum, you did. I was with Matt fixing the quad. Right. OK. Well, they've all got an
14:51oily black substance round the mouth. It smells like paint. I think they've ingested some.
14:57I was painting the fences this morning, but nowhere near the sheep. I wouldn't take that
15:02into the field with livestock. Are you 100 percent sure about that? It's all over the
15:08hay. The container's still in there. No, no, I'm sure I brought it back. Well, clearly
15:15you didn't. I'll go check on the last couple. Is that everything? I couldn't see anything.
15:29It's been in there for ages. They won't go to all this trouble if they weren't taking
15:34it seriously. Thanks for cooperating. Did you get through to the station? Somebody's
15:43phoning me back. They will. Please try not to worry. Are you intent on completely ruining
15:55his life? He gets mugged and you do this. Jimmy, this isn't helping anyone. Why now,
16:03Belle? Oh, good God. What? It was me feeling bad about accusing you. He wasn't mugged,
16:13was he? You did it. It was self-defence. Your precious nephew is an abuser. And how convenient
16:22that she tells the police that now, after she's nearly chopped him in half. It won't
16:27work, Belle. The truth will come out. I hope it does. And then you will be sorry. Claire.
16:37No. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Thank you. It's all sorted. Vanessa said that they're going to
16:59come round in an hour and pick up the bodies. More money down the drain. All right, I've
17:05said I'm sorry. Yeah, you might want to apologise to your son. Killed most of his sheep. Oh,
17:12well, thanks for that. I'll buy him some more tomorrow. Firstly, you absolutely will not.
17:19And secondly, you're not seriously thinking about going back to work after today. Well,
17:24if I can't work, what else am I supposed to do? This tumour is taking away everything.
17:31My job, my independence. I don't even know who I am anymore. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
17:38I don't... I don't mean to have a goal. I'm just... I'm worried about you. No, you're
17:46right. Reliability. And next time, I might hurt you or Mattie or the kids. So I'll stop
18:00work. For definite. It's the only way. Hey, hey, hey. Come here. Come here.
18:25The boys are back. What shall we tell them? Nothing. Not till we know what's going on.
18:30Hi, how was your day? Yeah, it was okay. Mum, please, can I go on the PlayStation
18:39if I'm ever wrong? There's an event on and I did my homework on the books. Go on then
18:43till tea's ready. There's no ball tea sauce and who keeps putting empty jars back in the
18:49cupboards? Right, you go and have a bath. I'll go get some. No arguments. Use my chamomile
18:54bubble bath. Thanks, love. Yeah. You watch telly. Don't move an inch. I won't be long.
19:07Okay. Thanks. How you doing? Oh, you know, living my best life. Did the police say what
19:35they took from the house? I asked, but they won't say until it's all been logged. What?
19:41They didn't mention anything about a tablet? In a zombie case. Zombies? There's a spare
19:49case from Elliot, my cousin. Is there anything you want to tell me? Can I speak to you as
19:57a mate, not my solicitor? Sure. There is still some footage on the tablet. You said it deleted
20:13itself. So you have got Belle abusing you. No, I've deleted all that. So what have you
20:21Just random things, probably. Brewing up a hundred times. Whatever set the cameras off,
20:27I've no idea. You mean camera? Yeah. Okay, so there might be more than one. Right. What
20:43does right mean? The police are looking for any evidence of controlling behaviour. This
20:49sounds like this footage might add weight to her claim. You should not have lied to
20:55the police. I know. Okay, I'll ask them again. A tablet in a zombie case, yeah? Yeah. Oh
21:07my God, they're going to think I'm some kind of creep. Try not to panic. How can I not?
21:13They'll definitely have found it. It's game over.
