00:30Mystic. He knows you've been bailed. Says he wants us to still send the cake for offering
00:46to take her in. Cost a fortune to send Park into Ireland. Besides, we've got bigger fish
00:52to fry. Look exhausted, love. I hate the thought of you going to the police on your own.
00:59I was fine, honestly. You could have at least woke us up when you got back. There's no point
01:04none of us getting any sleep. You definitely didn't tell the Rossers about us. No. I told
01:11them I cleaned it all up, so don't worry. But they're still going to talk to Charity.
01:15Even though I told them I forced her to give the alibi. Hopefully she won't get into too
01:18much bother. Have they spoken to Tom yet? I've not heard anything. They said they'd
01:24be in touch. Cheers. You're in early, bud. Well, I am paid to catch the worm. You caught
01:38my attackers yet? Not yet. But I believe you've been discharged. Yeah, well, I'm just waiting
01:46for a taxi. Unless you want to give me a lift home. I can give you a lift to the station.
01:51Why? Because your wife has made accusations of domestic abuse.
02:00Well, she's lying. We can talk about that at the station.
02:06When I said I was mugged yesterday, I lied. It was her. She attacked me, but I have never
02:12hurt her. Never. Thomas King, you are under arrest for coercive and controlling behaviour
02:19and assault. You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not
02:24mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Do you understand?
02:31I'm assuming Dr John doesn't know about this. Well, no, obviously not. I don't want to keep
02:36it that way. Oh, they're lovely. I could do one of them myself. Fat chance of that.
02:43So, what time are you meeting your contact? Scratchy. Knocked me back to half one now.
02:50Won't Loverboy notice that this is gone? No. He's working all day.
02:56So, any plans for the afternoon off? Not one I forgot about yet, no.
03:02I like to pour a glass of Merlot, have a small charcuterie board, and then
03:07just lose myself in a murder mystery. Yeah, or I might just crack open a beer and have a sarnie.
03:13Yeah, that sounds lovely, too. Where's Elliot? He got on the bus. He said he'd be quicker than
03:19waiting for you. Come on, then. Stop dawdling. Me? It was you. If you give me back chat again,
03:26then it's half an hour off your game in later. Well, no wine for you tonight for making me late
03:30for school. Life lesson here, Karl. Never, ever take wine off an adult, especially one she's got
03:35very cheeky children. Yeah, well, would you fancy a coffee and a sausage booty for the drive home?
03:39I'm not paying for my own sausages. I'll make you one when we get home. Yeah, but we've got
03:43the fence to bear you. No, I'll do the fence. You take the quad to Mackenzie. He said he was
03:47going to service it this morning. No, I'll help you paint first. Mac won't mind. Okay,
03:50I've already told Mackenzie this, so I'll tell you as well. I'm going back to work and by myself.
03:55I've agreed to check in regularly, so no arguments. I'll sort the sheep and the fence,
04:00and you sort the quad and the cattle. And the sausage booties. And the sausage booties.
04:04Hey. Hi. Just on a bun run for them lot. Fancy a cake bringing back?
04:13I'm good, thanks. I'm a sucker for Brenda's Black Forest, so I've had a slice of that.
04:20I'll pay, seeing as I'm losing Paddy's star employee. I'll get them. You deserve a treat
04:24after last night. Yes, I wanted to speak to you about that. I blame the wine.
04:31You can't blame the wine for the other two times. No, no, I suppose not.
04:36I really enjoy being with you. And casual's fine, but I'd quite like to be exclusive again.
04:46I've missed you. More than just the good stuff. Yeah, me too. Yeah, let's give it a go.
04:57Mr. King, in your statement yesterday, you said that you were mugged by persons unknown.
05:06But earlier at the hospital, you said...
05:10When I said I was mugged yesterday, I lied. It was her. She attacked me.
05:16So which is the truth?
05:17I was attacked by my wife, Belle King, with an axe, at her family home, at the flat at the back.
05:28For your information, Mrs. King has admitted to the attack and handed in the weapon.
05:35Right. So what's going to happen to her? That's to be decided.
05:41You were very believable yesterday, when you lied. So why lie?
05:52I was defending my wife.
05:57Believe it or not, I still care for her.
06:04Her illness, it makes her act irrationally.
06:08Her illness, it makes her act irrationally. It makes her do and say things that she doesn't
06:14really mean. How did her irrational behavior manifest when the two of you were together?
06:21Her mood is always up and down. I never know which Belle I'm coming home to.
06:25She's angry all the time. She calls me names. Says that I'm useless and ugly.
06:38Evil. Did it ever get physical between you?
06:44She'd smash things down in front of me. She'd throw things at me, the remote control,
06:49other things. She pushed me around. Once in the street, in front of her family.
06:59And yeah, she hit me.
07:04But she was always sorry after. She was always really sorry.
07:09Were you ever violent towards her, apart from during the attack?
07:17I think once I bruised her when I was forced to restrain her.
07:27Bruised her when I was forced to restrain her. But I was defending myself. I never hit her.
07:36Never. I don't know why she is saying all that because it's her. It's all her.
07:43Mr. King, is everything you've just told me another lie?
07:49No. Why? Did you strike a deal with your wife yesterday?
08:00A deal.
08:03Mrs. King claims that you asked her not to report the abuse
08:06and in return you wouldn't report the attack.
08:15Ah, I'm gonna have to eat on the run, I'm afraid.
08:17Here you go. Take my coffee. You're a busy doctor. You need to keep your energy up.
08:21You're very kind. Do you think I'm out of touch with the modern world?
08:27In what respect?
08:28Well, I was speaking to John earlier about how I spend my afternoons.
08:32You didn't mention a charcuterie board, did you?
08:34Yeah, I might have done. Am I an oddball?
08:38Course not. We all have our quirks. Some more than others. And I wouldn't want you any other way.
08:45So if you do fancy lowering your standards and mixing with us plebs,
08:48I've just bagged a 50% lunch voucher for Bunning a Million.
08:52It'd be nice to celebrate getting back together.
08:54Sorry, what's Bunning a Million?
08:55According to Instagram, only the dirtiest burgers you can smash your face into.
08:59Onion rings the size of your head and you get to play beer pong while you eat.
09:03Shall we say one tomorrow?
09:05Tomorrow? Damn, no, I've got this seminar.
09:11Cancel it.
09:11I can't miss it, I'm afraid.
09:14We'll do it another time.
09:15Yes, definitely. I would love to eat an onion ring the size of my head.
09:33Yeah, she sounds good, man.
09:35Yeah, you should think about becoming a mechanic, mate.
09:39That was actually really humorous for you.
09:41Oh, so how's Myra doing?
09:45Yeah, I think it's another world of good being covered in mud again.
09:48Well, you go and check on her while I get cracking with the cows, okay?
09:52Are they okay?
09:53What's that?
09:54The sheep, mate.
09:55Come on.
10:00She was the one that begged me not to report the attack.
10:03And I was scared of what she'd do if I did.
10:04Why would she ask you to lie and then come to us with allegations of abuse?
10:08I've no idea.
10:10Maybe she felt that I was still going to report her.
10:12And were you?
10:14I don't know.
10:15I was confused.
10:17This is what she does to me.
10:19I don't know how to respond to her, how to make her happy.
10:21I'm always scared of her.
10:24Mr. King, have you ever heard of a screwhead camera?
10:30Yeah.
10:33I'm showing Mr. King evidence A14.
10:37And Mrs. King claims that you installed this and several others in your house.
10:43Yeah, I did.
10:44But only one downstairs.
10:47Was she aware of it?
10:53No.
10:54So why did you do it?
10:56Did she tell you how she almost burned our house down?
11:00No.
11:00Because she did.
11:03I installed it to keep her safe.
11:06You've never heard of a smoke detector?
11:07Have you ever lived with someone that has mental health episodes?
11:10You're always scared that they're going to hurt themselves.
11:16Okay, fine.
11:17I probably should have told her.
11:19But I did it for the right reasons.
11:22Did you keep any of the footage?
11:25No.
11:25Why?
11:26Well, it'd be useful to see some examples of abuse.
11:34I didn't even think of that.
11:36It deletes itself after 24 hours.
11:39Well, that's a shame.
11:40Because in cases like these, we need to seize your electronics.
11:43So if you could provide us with a list of all your devices.
11:46Laptops, tablets, anything.
11:51Sure.
11:52I'll ask my uncle to bring everything in.
11:54No, that's not how it works, I'm afraid.
11:56See, we need the list to cross-reference against what the police will find.
12:00And I believe that they're in your house right now.
12:20Arrested?
12:22I didn't even know he'd been discharged from hospital.
12:24I know.
12:25None of this stacks up.
12:27He gets mugged and then Belle goes to the police with these
12:31abuse claims she's been flinging around.
12:33It doesn't make sense.
12:36I'll go and tell Brenda I won't be back.
12:38You call the stations.
12:39See what's happening.
12:41We'll sort it.
12:45I reckon this is either Tom or Nicola's been ordering in
12:49the special Colombian icing sugar again.
12:51Those iced fingers are very addictive.
12:54Hope everything's okay.
12:56What do you think?
12:59Paddy?
13:00Vanessa?
13:01Emergency at Butler's.
13:02Matty's just called.
13:05One, two, three.
13:08You always win.
13:10She always does scissors.
13:12Oh, I need you to thank you.
13:14What for?
13:15Ella gave Mandy a voucher for Bun in a Million.
13:17I can't believe you're not gonna go.
13:18Oh, the flipping onion rings are like that.
13:20Yeah, I've heard, I've heard.
13:22I've got other plans, unfortunately.
13:24Hated letting her down.
13:25Back together?
13:26Yeah, yeah, we're giving it another shot.
13:29Lovely.
13:29Well, why don't you take Ella to the thing?
13:30No, I can't.
13:31Why not?
13:33Well, I just don't think she'd enjoy a murder mystery event.
13:36She might do.
13:37Well, the emphasis is more on the murder than the mystery.
13:41Ah.
13:42Exactly.
13:43She doesn't like getting dressed up.
13:45No, it's because she murdered her best friend.
13:46She murdered her...
13:47Yeah, yeah, sorry.
13:48I forgot about the, um, the orb.
13:50Yeah.
13:56It's called a spare key.
13:59What have you done with them?
14:00What's the magic word?
14:02Someone's waiting for them.
14:05Yeah, what time you meeting them?
14:07Would you just tell me where they are?
14:10Say the magic word.
14:20You saw the villager was crawling with coppers today?
14:23Yeah.
14:23So you're willing to put you and me at risk to sell some
14:26dodgy knock-off watches for a few quid?
14:29Well, it's not for a few quid.
14:31Look, you do you.
14:32Yeah.
14:33Play cops and robbers as much as you like.
14:36But I said no to using the van.
14:38You ignored me.
14:39Don't do it again.
14:41Fine.
14:43I'm sorry.
14:45How sorry?
14:48I'll show you later.
14:49Your mate can wait.
14:51Show me now.
14:55Oh my god!
14:57What is it?
14:57We don't know, Mum.
14:58Most of them are dead.
14:59That one's in a bad way.
15:01Oh, not her too.
15:02Moira, do all the sheep feed from that trough?
15:05Well, yeah, but Mattie filled it before.
15:09No, Mum, you did.
15:10I was with Matt fixing the quad.
15:13Right.
15:14Okay.
15:15Well, they've all got an oily black substance around the mouth.
15:18It smells like paint.
15:20I think they've ingested some.
15:22I was painting the fences this morning,
15:24but nowhere near the sheep.
15:25I wouldn't take that into the field with livestock.
15:28Are you 100% sure about that?
15:31It's all over the hay.
15:32The container's still in there.
15:35No, no, I...
15:36No, I'm sure I brought it back.
15:39Well, clearly you didn't.
15:41I'll go check on the last couple.
15:49Is that everything?
15:52I couldn't see anything.
15:54He's been in there for ages.
15:56They won't go to all this trouble if they weren't taking it seriously.
16:02Thanks for cooperating.
16:04Did you get through to the station?
16:07Somebody's forwarding me back.
16:09They will.
16:10Please try not to worry.
16:17Are you intent on completely ruining his life?
16:20He gets mugged and you do this?
16:22Jimmy, this isn't helping anyone.
16:24Why now, Belle?
16:29Oh, good God.
16:33It was me feeling bad about accusing you.
16:36He wasn't mugged, was he?
16:39You did it.
16:40It was self-defence.
16:42Your precious nephew isn't abusive.
16:45And how convenient that she tells the police that now
16:48after she's nearly chopped him in half.
16:51It won't work, Belle.
16:53The truth will come out.
16:55I hope it does.
16:57And then you will be sorry.
17:02No.
17:07Yeah.
17:08Yeah, okay.
17:21It's all sorted.
17:22Vanessa said that they're going to come round in an hour
17:25and pick up the bodies.
17:27More money down the drain.
17:29All right, I've said I'm sorry.
17:31Yeah, you might want to apologise to your son.
17:34He killed most of his sheep.
17:36Oh, well, thanks for that.
17:38I'll buy him some more tomorrow.
17:41Firstly, you absolutely will not.
17:44And secondly, you're not seriously thinking about
17:46going back to work after today.
17:48Well, if I can't work, what else am I supposed to do?
17:52This tumour is taking away everything.
17:55My job, my independence.
17:57I don't even know who I am anymore.
18:01I know, I'm sorry.
18:02I'm sorry, I don't...
18:05I don't mean to have a goal.
18:08I'm just, I'm worried about you.
18:10No, you're right.
18:13Reliability.
18:16And next time, I might hurt you or Matty or the kids.
18:23So I'll stop work.
18:26For definite.
18:29It's the only way.
18:36Hey, hey, hey, hey.
18:38Come here.
18:39Come here.
18:49The boy's back, what shall we tell him?
18:52Nothing.
18:53Not till we know what's going on.
18:58Hi, how was your day?
19:00Yeah, it was okay.
19:02Mum, please, can I go on the PlayStation?
19:03What if I go wrong?
19:04There's an event on and I did my homework on the books.
19:06Go on then, until tea's ready.
19:08There's no Balti sauce and who keeps putting
19:11empty jars back in the cupboards?
19:14Right, you go and have a bath.
19:15I'll go get some.
19:17No arguments, use my chamomile bubble bath.
19:21Thanks, love.
19:22Yeah.
19:28You watch telly, don't move an inch.
19:31I won't be long.
19:32Okay.
19:44Thanks.
19:49How you doing?
19:51Oh, you know, living my best life.
19:58Did the police say what they took from the house?
20:01I asked, but they won't say until it's all been logged.
20:05What?
20:06They didn't mention anything about a tablet?
20:09In a zombie case.
20:12Zombies?
20:13There's a spare case from Elliot, my cousin.
20:16Is there anything you want to tell me?
20:20Can I speak to you as a mate, not my solicitor?
20:26Sure.
20:32There is still some footage on the tablet.
20:37You said it deleted itself.
20:40So you have got Belle abusing you?
20:41No, I've deleted all that.
20:43So what have you kept?
20:45Just random things, probably.
20:48Brewing up a hundred times.
20:50Whatever set the cameras off, I've no idea.
20:53You mean camera?
20:54Yeah.
20:59Okay, so there might be more than one.
21:04Right.
21:07What does right mean?
21:10The police are looking for any evidence of controlling behaviour.
21:14It sounds like this footage might add weight to her claim.
21:17Ben, you should not have lied to the police.
21:21I know.
21:23Okay, I'll ask them again.
21:27A tablet in a zombie case, yeah?
21:29Yeah.
21:31Oh my God, they're gonna think I'm some kind of creep.
21:35Try not to panic.
21:36How can I not?
21:38They'll definitely have found it.
21:39It's game over.
