00:00Lima 5-2, urgent assistance required.
00:30I called yous an hour ago. I could be dead by now.
00:57Bonnie, go inside and shut the door. Now!
00:59Argumento? We're flooding! Mass sealings, Bonnie, come in!
01:03The kids up the stairs must have left the tap on.
01:26Hello?
01:34Hello? Chris?
01:43I swapped shifts.
01:46I was going to call you later.
01:56D.S. Reid.
02:05I need to ask you something.
02:07For her.
02:35I'm sorry.
03:04I need to talk to you.
03:33I need to talk to you.
04:03Oh.
04:07No, no, look at me.
04:10Come on, concentrate on my voice.
04:13That's it, come on.
04:16Come on.
04:18The best thing we can do for that boy is find out who did this.
04:21Well, the parents are Peter and Louise Ferguson.
04:23I got a mobile number from the housing association, but it's dead.
04:27Could paper the walls with these.
04:29Where are they now?
04:30Put out a call, I want the phone.
04:33Ah, the boy wonder.
04:36This way.
04:44Need a minute?
04:47I don't want all these people around when I'm dealing with the children.
04:52The pathologist needs in here, so let's clear the area, please.
05:02Overdose?
05:04It's possible.
05:06No obvious signs of trauma on the bodies.
05:11I'll leave you to it.
05:15Have they managed to stop the flooding?
05:16Yeah, they've shut the mains off.
05:18It's coming near, but it's locked.
05:26Oh.
05:28Looks like daddy's home.
05:37They came separately?
05:39Yeah, it's not according to the guide.
05:44They spoke to the neighbour.
05:46See ya.
05:51I don't know how you come to terms with this.
05:52Miss Jackson, can you run a check?
05:54Yeah, I will.
06:06No!
06:08No!
06:18Louise, I'm DCI Burke.
06:21This is DI Ross and DS Reed.
06:25Is there someone we can call for you?
06:28Has he killed himself?
06:40Do you work nights, Louise?
06:47Are you able to talk to us?
06:48I didn't check them.
06:51I should have checked them.
06:53Oh my God, they can't be dead.
06:54Pete was looking after them.
06:55I need to check them.
06:58I checked them.
07:13What did we get from the house to house?
07:15A lot.
07:16Peter Ferguson was long-term unemployed.
07:19Pretty much kept himself to himself for most of them.
07:22Couldn't even describe him accurately.
07:24A recluse?
07:25Managed to struggle down the door if it's right enough.
07:28I think it's fairly obvious what happened here.
07:31Dad feels worthless and better thought of leaving his family behind him.
07:35So he kills the kids before killing himself.
07:37If he wanted them all to die together, why was he hanging alone in the bathroom?
07:41And why not take his wife with him?
07:43The kids were placed so carefully in the bed.
07:46They were killed by someone who loved them.
07:49Well, until we get the post-mortem results, we do this by the book, right?
07:53We always look to the parents first, so let's look.
07:56Find out what you can about the mother.
07:59I can't believe it.
08:04That's awful.
08:07Louise is a cleaner here.
08:10Part-time, is it?
08:13Look, I'm not interested in benefit fraud.
08:17Only in finding out what happened.
08:20She does four nights.
08:22Do you know her well?
08:24We work in pairs when we clean the office blocks.
08:26Me and Lou sometimes work together.
08:28So were you working together last night?
08:30Yeah.
08:31How long's your shift?
08:327pm till, well, about the now.
08:36So she left early?
08:39Yeah.
08:40She got a message at reception, then she took off.
08:42But you were with her until that time?
08:44Yeah.
08:46Okay.
08:47Thank you.
08:55Morning.
08:56What can I do for you?
08:57You know Louise Ferguson?
08:59Aye.
09:00You took a message for her here last night?
09:01Aye.
09:02Do you have any idea who it might have been from?
09:04They wouldn't leave his name, although I suspect there was some kind of job offer.
09:08How's that?
09:09Walked straight out.
09:10No intention of coming back the way she spoke to the supervisor.
09:14Thank you.
09:19DCI Buck?
09:20Is it true the whole family were massacred?
09:26Can you give me something on the family history?
09:27Looking for divine inspiration?
09:29Somebody could have climbed up there.
09:32The balcony doors were open.
09:34No, this wasn't a housebreaking gone wrong.
09:37This was personal.
09:39Mr Buck!
09:43Finn!
09:44So how's the programme going?
09:45Aye, I'm clean now.
09:46Good for you, sir.
09:47Thanks.
09:48I got a good job too with my courier.
09:49Well, you always did like cars.
09:51Aye.
09:52I've got a flat in here.
09:53Hey, there's something else to your pony.
09:57Well, many, many congratulations, Finn.
10:00Thanks.
10:02We're ready to bring them out now.
10:07She's no dead daughter.
10:08It's slag.
10:09You got like a slag in there, so we can bring her home.
10:11Shut up.
10:12What do you mean?
10:13Excuse me.
10:24Aye, go easy there.
10:25Michael Anderson.
10:27D.I. Ross.
10:28Oh, aye.
10:29What can I do for you?
10:31I understand Peter Ferguson used to work for you.
10:35Aye, that's right.
10:36I had to let him go, what, over a year ago now?
10:41He's in some kind of trouble?
10:43Well, I'm sorry to be the one who has to tell you, but I'm afraid he's dead.
10:48Eh?
10:53I'm sorry who?
10:56Pete was a good guy.
10:59He said you had to let him go.
11:02I know why you're speaking of the dead, but...
11:06He wasn't up to the job.
11:08I had to let him go.
11:09I had no choice.
11:12Have you got any gum?
11:14Sorry.
11:15That's like an ice tree.
11:17Any more than Pete Ferguson?
11:19Yeah, he was diagnosed as clinically depressed after he lost his job.
11:31Are you OK?
11:32Yeah, it's been a long night, man.
11:35So, what have we got?
11:37Yeah, well, I spoke to Louise's colleague, Greg Warren.
11:40He was with her until ten.
11:41Right, anything else?
11:42Can we not just waste our time here?
11:44I mean, everything points to the father.
11:46Yeah, I know what it looks like, but it doesn't fit the usual pattern.
11:48Where's the suicide note?
11:49Oh, something made him snap, he wasn't thinking straight.
11:51No, he'd want his wife to know why he'd done it.
11:53Eh?
11:54We'd all like to nail someone to the wall for this, Jackie, but we can't change the facts.
11:56All right, all right. Let's see what the pathology report tells us.
12:02You know, it's easier to win those battles when you're the same rank.
12:06I'd back you.
12:08Oh, thanks, ma'am. I'm flattered.
12:11I'm just not sure it's the right time.
12:14Don't leave it too long.
12:20He's stable, but he's ingested a lot of drugs.
12:23He'll be all right, though.
12:25We won't know what permanent damage he's sustained till later.
12:55Let's start with Peter Ferris.
13:03Suicide.
13:05No scratches on his neck.
13:07I haven't missed anything, don't worry.
13:09Blood under his fingernails confirms he did it to himself.
13:12It's possible he had a change of heart, but couldn't get it off.
13:18They were all in fairly good physical health.
13:21Youngest girl had slightly stunted growth on her feet.
13:24He needed new shoes.
13:27The children all ingested a cocktail of drugs.
13:30Seem as calm?
13:32No external injuries on the girls, but there are on Thomas.
13:37See here, some bruises around the mouth and also some scratches inside his throat.
13:43He didn't want to take the pills.
13:45How could a father do this to his kids?
13:48Actually, I put Peter Ferguson's time of death well before any of the children.
13:54What?
13:55I don't know who killed these little ones, but you can certainly cross dad off your list.
14:07It's so quiet.
14:17Louise, we just need to know if anything's missing, and then I'll get you to the hospital.
14:27Your home's supposed to be a safe place.
14:32They repossessed us, stuck us in this hellhole that was kind of scum.
14:41It was no palace, but it was ours.
14:45Everything we worked for and they took it.
14:49It's still standing empty, boarded up.
14:54Such a waste.
15:03If Pete wasn't working, why was he suited?
15:06He was given evidence at the inquiry.
15:11What inquiry?
15:12Unfair dismissal.
15:16I knew he would never hurt the kids.
15:20He should have been there.
15:25This is yesterday's postmark.
15:28Have you got any idea what might have been in here?
15:45Where is it?
15:48Where's what?
15:49Where is it?
15:50Is there something missing?
15:51Callum's kit bag.
15:52It was right here and now it's gone.
15:55I was supposed to wash his kit for tomorrow.
16:12This is everything child protection have in the Ferguson's.
16:16Also a file in Louise's maiden name of Harvey.
16:28I want to see my son right now.
16:30He can't stop me.
16:31Actually, we can if necessary.
16:33Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
16:36Louise, I need you to help me.
16:38Why should I?
16:39Because you'll get to the hospital a lot quicker if you do.
16:47Had you and Pete fallen out recently?
16:50No more than usual.
16:52Did you argue a lot?
16:55Things have been tough for us since Pete lost his job.
16:58Nobody wants to employ a man who's been found negligent.
17:01He was diagnosed with clinical depression about six months ago, is that right?
17:06He'd been on the happy pills ever since.
17:09He'd rattle if you shook him.
17:12Tell us about Peter.
17:14He slept a lot.
17:17No, tell us about the man you fell for.
17:22Kind.
17:25Funny.
17:27How did you meet?
17:28At school.
17:30Childhood sweethearts?
17:33We drank coffee together and got to the park.
17:35Far cry from your life after you had kids, eh?
17:39You must have longed for the days when it was just the two of you.
17:42No responsibilities, freedom.
17:44Yeah.
17:46Yeah, all right.
17:47There were days when I wished that we'd never had any kids.
17:51And to think that makes me feel now.
17:56Louise, a report has come to light about the death of a Molly Robertson.
18:07You think I murdered my babies?
18:11I can't deny her access to her own child.
18:13Louise Ferguson, née Harvey, was suspected of murdering a toddler, Molly Robertson.
18:17And after inquiries, was found to be innocent.
18:19A two-year-old child left in her care died of extensive injuries.
18:22That is enough for me.
18:24It was accidental death.
18:25No charges were brought of any kind.
18:27More than just a coincidence, Jackie.
18:29Look, it was a toddler.
18:30Hundreds of kids die in accidental deaths every year.
18:33Children are adventurous, they're clumsy.
18:35How the hell would you know?
18:39Louise was babysitting.
18:41She was 15 years old.
18:43What if you're wrong?
18:44We allow her access and something happens.
18:46What if we deny her access and the boy dies?
18:57Morning, Doc.
18:59What can I do for you?
19:00My office is collecting some samples from D.I. Maloney.
19:03I heard about her last night.
19:06Don't worry, she's fine.
19:08Petit Ralph?
19:10Yeah.
19:15Tell her I dropped by, okay?
19:22Mrs. Robertson?
19:23Ah, sorry I'm late.
19:25I need to talk to you about Louise Harvey.
19:37Can you tell me what happened to Molly?
19:40I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you.
19:44I was two years old.
19:47I'd lost my husband and she was everything to me.
19:55How did Molly die?
19:57She fell down the stairs and broke her neck.
20:01Because that stupid thoughtless girl hadn't put the gate across.
20:05Louise was only 15 years old at the time.
20:08She was recommended to me by a friend.
20:12It was a long time ago.
20:15She got to live her life.
20:17Have her family.
20:20She didn't have to think about my Molly every single second of every single day.
20:28There's a part of me that's glad she knows what it feels like.
20:34Can I ask where you were last night, Mrs. Robertson?
20:39I go to a spiritualist church.
20:42With about 50 other people.
20:49It doesn't make sense. Why would she do it?
20:51They weren't exactly living their dream, were they?
20:54Where did you say you got this?
20:56Oh, the flat. Someone sent it to Pete.
20:58Really?
21:00Security camera footage?
21:02That's Greg Warren.
21:03Well, we know who the woman is.
21:06Why didn't you tell me you were having a relationship with Louise?
21:09Used to be her dirty little secret, I suppose.
21:11So you wanted the relationship out in the open?
21:14Is she not so keen?
21:17Recognise this?
21:19No.
21:21What were you hoping to achieve?
21:22It's not mine.
21:23There's one thing screwing a man's wife.
21:26They're sending him the video.
21:30Why would I do that?
21:31You were hoping to break them up.
21:32No.
21:33So it didn't bother you that she went home every night to another man?
21:35They're the best of her. They get the leftovers.
21:37Not any more.
21:38It worked out quite nicely for you, didn't it?
21:44One of the downstairs neighbours has given me a story,
21:46but I think it might encroach on your investigation, so I can't use it.
21:50You're giving me this out of the kindness of your heart.
21:53The family were practically hermits.
21:55No friends, no family.
21:56I can't get a photograph of the kids anywhere.
21:59So what do you think?
22:00Can you do your old pal a favour?
22:02Sure, I'll do you a favour.
22:04You tell me everything you know, and I won't have you for wasting police time.
22:07And Craig, I'm not your pal.
22:10That little bitch downstairs.
22:12She heard you saying the kids would be better off dead.
22:15You couldn't afford to give the kids the life they deserved.
22:17That's all I meant.
22:23That you in this photo?
22:25Just you having sex with Greg Warren?
22:31Yeah.
22:33You quit your job yesterday.
22:35Why?
22:36I'd been working three cleaning jobs.
22:39My body ached, I'd had enough.
22:40Don't you ever have days like that?
22:42You took a call shortly before you left.
22:44Who was it from?
22:45Kelly says.
22:48I think you quit because you were planning on leaving Pete.
22:50Running away with Greg, maybe.
22:52You're talking out of your arse.
22:54How did Pete react when he found out about Greg?
22:56Pete didn't know.
22:57Oh, I'm afraid he did.
22:58Your boyfriend sent him a DVD in glorious Technicolour.
23:01No, that's not possible.
23:07Is that why he killed himself?
23:10I tried.
23:12I tried to call it off with Greg.
23:13I really did.
23:14I tried.
23:15Doesn't look like you tried all that hard.
23:20Her whole family is dead.
23:21She has one child left, fighting for its life.
23:23And you're treating her like a bloody serial killer.
23:25She's not being straight with us.
23:26Yeah, well, what about Greg?
23:27You know, some people can't handle rejection.
23:29Killing her children is the ultimate act of power.
23:31Why would she do it?
23:32A new life.
23:33A new man.
23:34A mother killing her children for a man?
23:35Oh, come on.
23:36Well, let's not kill ourselves, Jackie.
23:37It's happened plenty of times before.
23:39I don't think Greg's our man.
23:41He seemed genuinely surprised when he mentioned that DVD.
23:43Let him go.
23:44Find out whoever sent that DVD.
23:46They wanted to destroy that family.
23:48They could well be our killer.
23:49We should go back to the security guard.
23:50He might give us some more info about Greg.
23:52Yeah, and Michael Anderson had been looking into this inquiry.
23:54Apparently the workman died, which is why Pete was sacked.
23:57It's funny he never mentioned it.
23:58Keep me informed.
23:59Oh, and, uh, Louise.
24:01I don't think we can trust her with Callum.
24:03She's not our killer.
24:05Let her go to the hospital.
24:06What was this?
24:07Female intuition?
24:08Hey, hey, hey.
24:09What is it with you two?
24:10We're on the same team here.
24:11We were all there last night, remember?
24:23Jack?
24:25Oh.
24:26I didn't think you were in today.
24:31You okay?
24:33Yeah, I've been better.
24:35Oh, Chris, I'm really sorry I haven't got back to you.
24:37Oh, it's fine.
24:44I'll, uh...
24:45I'll catch you later.
24:47Sure.
24:56Bye.
25:14Chris seems like a nice guy.
25:19He's already spoken for Robbie.
25:23Do I hear the sound of wedding bells?
25:27Do you, Shreed?
25:32Great.
25:33Okay, thanks.
25:36They've traced Lou's mystery caller.
25:38And?
25:39Michael Anderson.
25:41Well, well, well.
25:46You could do a lot worse, you know.
25:48Anderson?
25:49Chris.
25:51If you've got something to say, just spit it out, Robbie.
25:57I went into your desk.
25:59Looked for gum.
26:00Sorry.
26:02I think it's great.
26:05So what, I'll just stick a car seat in the back, shall I?
26:08Jack, I...
26:09My job's not in the paper yet, Robbie.
26:16You weren't kidding when you said Pete was not for the job.
26:19One of your workmen died.
26:21Remember Marcus Pedrini?
26:2321 years old.
26:25Why didn't you tell me?
26:27Wasn't relevant.
26:28I'll be the judge of that.
26:31You blamed Peter?
26:33He was the foreman. It was his responsibility.
26:36That is quite a burden to place on someone.
26:39Look, a man died. They could have shut me down.
26:42I had to make an example of him.
26:44I'm guessing there was some bad feeling between you then.
26:47No, no, no. Not at all.
26:49Pete felt awful about what happened.
26:51He never forgave himself.
26:52Well, forgive me if I don't take your word as gospel.
26:56Do you know Louise Ferguson?
26:59Pete's missus, eh?
27:00How well do you know her?
27:01She met us in the pub, maybe twice.
27:04Someone called her from this office last night.
27:08Well, there must be some mistake.
27:11Phone records rarely lie, Mr Anderson.
27:16I think you know Louise a lot better than you're making out.
27:20He's lying.
27:21Yeah, but we can't prove it.
27:24Groomsmith?
27:25Security guard.
27:27Come in.
27:32This one's for you.
27:33Thanks.
27:36They're all in order.
27:40I was about to have a coffee. You looked like you could use one.
27:44It gets to you sometimes, Matt.
27:46You can't help it.
27:48Perhaps it would be wise to get you some counselling.
27:50Yes, I was breastfed.
27:51No, I didn't live up to my father's expectations
27:53and thankfully I enjoy regular solid bowel movements there.
27:56Save you the money.
27:57I meant the universal you.
28:00But thanks for sharing.
28:03It's the mother.
28:04Yeah?
28:06I can't rule her out completely, but I've got nothing on her either.
28:09I'm sure she'll be all right.
28:11I can't rule her out completely, but I've got nothing on her either.
28:14Can I in all good conscience deny her access to her boy?
28:18You think she did it?
28:20I don't know.
28:22Let her see the boy. Supervised access.
28:24Watch how she acts around him.
28:42I'm here.
28:46Hey, baby, I'm here.
28:53I can't do this.
28:54Yes, you can. Listen to me.
28:56You have more in this room than some people ever have.
29:08Help.
29:09Help.
29:11Hey.
29:18It's Mummy.
29:21Hey.
29:33Ah, Graham's been having a clear out.
29:37Somebody's home. I can hear music.
29:52Come away, Em.
29:54You're going to love this.
30:07Must have been watching her for months.
30:14I think we might have found our man.
30:25What's she doing in there?
30:37Hello.
30:41Mrs Ferguson.
30:43Do you know this man?
30:45Yeah, it's Graham.
30:48He could never do enough for me.
30:50Let's ask Callum.
30:51No.
30:52I don't want anyone upsetting him, so no questions.
30:56We all want the same thing.
30:58We want to know who did this, and Callum is the only person that can tell us.
31:01Not today.
31:03Louise!
31:04Sir.
31:07Just give her a moment.
31:20Hello.
31:23Do you mind if I sit down here for a wee while?
31:27No.
31:35No one's going to hurt you, Callum.
31:38I promise.
31:44I like the tiger.
31:53Have you seen one of these before?
31:57It's cool, isn't it?
32:03Thank you.
32:10Can't I...
32:27Has Callum said anything to you?
32:30Mentioned any names?
32:31No, he's still very disorientated.
32:34The only person he remembers seeing is, well, a golden angel in the sky.
32:38Excuse me.
32:43Mr Bush!
32:45How you doing? Come in.
32:48Been having a bit of a spend up.
32:52So, what can I do for you, big man?
32:54What were you doing in the Ferguson's flat?
32:56I wasn't... I wasn't anywhere near.
32:59You know better than to lie to me, son.
33:01You were seen.
33:03A golden angel.
33:07We were flooding.
33:08Bonnie was going crazy.
33:10No one was answering the door, so I climbed up onto the balcony.
33:12What did you do?
33:13Nothing.
33:15I was trying to find a leak.
33:16The bathroom door was locked, so I went to the kitchen to find it, but I couldn't.
33:19Then why didn't you call an ambulance, for Christ's sake?
33:22The kids were already dead.
33:23But they weren't, were they? There was at least one of them still alive.
33:27I think I know why you kept your mouth shut.
33:30What did you steal?
33:33What did you steal?!
33:42I found this under the kitchen sink.
33:52Clack.
33:53Oh, sorry, ma'am. I'm just off to check a file on the Ferguson's.
33:56I won't keep you.
33:57Made a decision yet.
34:00Can I ask you something personal?
34:02You can ask.
34:04Do you have a family?
34:07Kids?
34:08No.
34:09Because of the job.
34:11I'm very happy with the choices I made.
34:14You have to make your own.
34:16I'm sorry.
34:17I'm happy with the choices I made.
34:19You have to make your own.
34:30Jackie, listen, I'm, er...
34:32I'm sorry about earlier.
34:35The test, it's, er...
34:37None of my business.
34:39But it's okay.
34:42Turns out I'm not.
34:44I wasn't meant to be.
34:48Clack.
34:54What about the security guard?
34:55Yeah, he's, er... He's still unconscious.
34:57Boss, I found this amongst Peter Ferguson's papers.
35:01It's a letter he wrote to Anderson
35:02complaining about safety standards on site.
35:04Look at the date.
35:05Three months before the accident.
35:07So why would he stand up in court and accept responsibility?
35:10I think I know why.
35:13Where did you get that?
35:15Underneath the Ferguson's sink.
35:17Pete knew Anderson was cutting corners.
35:20So when the accident happened,
35:22it was convenient to blame Pete.
35:25Anderson sacked him.
35:29The one thing Pete clung on to through this whole sorry time
35:32was that he would get his day in court.
35:35He'd be able to stand up and tell everyone that he was innocent.
35:43But...
35:45I was sick.
35:47Sick of the hell we were living in.
35:53Michael Anderson offered me 20 grand
35:55to get Pete to accept responsibility in court.
36:01And what did I do?
36:03I took it.
36:05Told him.
36:07Told him to do it for the kids.
36:10And he did.
36:11Even though it destroyed him.
36:14I'm so sorry.
36:17I still don't understand, though.
36:19The inquiry was all done and dusted,
36:21so why are we still arguing about it?
36:23Our stupid pride.
36:26Even after all that, Pete still didn't want to take the money.
36:32So...
36:34it was payday.
36:36I was supposed to be there.
36:39And Anderson brought the money.
36:41But he was late.
36:43I told Callum that he was coming.
36:44I told him to take the bag and stash it under the sink.
36:58You look exhausted.
37:00I've just been in with your boss.
37:02Aye, he's like a dog with a bone.
37:06Your colleagues just called from Byron Ward.
37:08They want to talk to you about the man you have in custody.
37:12I'll be right back.
37:14Sure.
37:19This had better be good.
37:21New bruising has appeared on Thomas' arm.
37:23A hand grip.
37:25I thought you were thorough.
37:26That's a pretty big miss in my book.
37:28Deep bruising can take 24 hours to appear,
37:30which is exactly why I double-check.
37:33What have you got?
37:35Clear handprint.
37:36Deep bruise. It was a hard grip.
37:39Thing is...
37:41I don't think you're necessarily looking for a man.
37:44Right.
38:03Right. We need to focus.
38:05She must be somewhere in the city centre.
38:09Yep, that's her there.
38:12I've got her account blocked.
38:13When was this?
38:14Fifteen minutes ago.
38:15Royal Bank place, Headford George Square.
38:18Where's Callum?
38:20Queen's Street Station.
38:44Jacket.
39:05Suspect heading west on Ingram Street.
39:07All units, that is west. West on Ingram Street.
39:13Come on!
39:21Come on!
39:30One last visual.
39:31Come on, Louise.
39:32Awaiting further instructions.
39:33Where are you?
39:39We've got her.
39:40Suspect heading north, north on Miller Street.
39:42Suspect on North Street, over.
39:47Is that her?
39:55Suspect entering St Enoch's Underground Station.
39:57Push engines.
39:58She's going in the north engine.
39:59I'm there.
40:00Good work.
40:01I'll cover the south.
40:02Heading towards St Enoch's Station, ECU, five minutes.
40:11Suspect.
40:18Lou.
40:22Louise Ferguson.
40:24I'm detaining you for the murder of your children.
40:26You don't have to say anything.
40:28Anything you do say will be noted.
40:31Oh, shit!
40:35Police!
40:36Nobody wants it to end like this.
40:38Police!
40:41Police!
40:54I understand you want to make a full confession.
40:56That's right.
40:57Good.
41:00Let's start with where you dumped Callum's body.
41:03In the river.
41:05Any particular river?
41:06The Mississippi.
41:09It would be a nice gesture, don't you think,
41:11to bury all the kids together?
41:14Where is he?
41:17Somewhere safe.
41:22He's home now.
41:25Of course, it makes perfect sense.
41:27Pills are the usual weapon of choice
41:29when someone kills a person they love.
41:31They think it's painless.
41:33Humane, you see.
41:35I didn't want them to suffer.
41:37I just wanted rid of them.
41:38Exactly.
41:40It's like in the slaughterhouse when they stun the animals.
41:44They think because the animals can't cry out that they're not in pain.
41:48It looks like a peaceful death.
41:50But it isn't.
41:51Just like the pills.
41:52It just makes it easier for the one that's watching.
41:54I did the best I could for them.
41:57Do you want to know what it was like for your kids?
42:00At first they would have been sleepy and delirious.
42:03But that's the best bit.
42:04Then their vital organs would have started to shut down one by one
42:07and the pain would have been unbearable.
42:10A three-year-old having a heart attack.
42:12Stop.
42:13I've seen grown men crying for their mommies.
42:20It's nobody well dishing out pills to wee girls
42:22who take them like sweeties because they trust you.
42:25But Thomas, you were trying to murder them, didn't you?
42:28Is that why you struggled?
42:29Is that why you forced them?
42:31Why you held them down and ran away?
42:33Is that why you held them down and ran the pills down his throat?
42:35Stop it! Stop it!
43:03Are you in trouble?
43:05No.
43:34Everything's going to be all right.
43:37I'm going to get you an ambulance, OK?
43:39No.
43:41Callum.
43:43It's OK.
43:44You don't need to be frightened anymore.
43:46We know what happened.
43:48Your mum can't hurt you now.
43:50Mum's not going to get on my life now, is she?
43:55No.
43:57No, she's not.
43:58I messed it all up.
44:00No.
44:01No, you haven't.
44:03I did.
44:04I didn't even have pills on me.
44:18Why?
44:21You're better off dead.
44:27So you heard her?
44:29Mum just wanted to be free again.
44:37Rocky.
44:41Rocky.
44:54They found his dad's body.
44:58So I made him snap.
45:02Locked the bathroom door so his wee brothers and sisters wouldn't get upset.
45:07We didn't make the one on Robbie.
45:10We just police it.
