00:00Don't you dare come in here!
00:07No, you won't.
00:08Yes, I will.
00:09I'll throw you in a cell, just like they did after Gemma, because you're not sane, Belle.
00:17Can you ever get anything right?
00:19Belle!
00:20Oh, thank goodness.
00:21Emilia said Tom came up here.
00:22He did.
00:23He was...
00:24So where is this scumbag now?
00:25Belle?
00:26Belle?
00:27Belle?
00:28Belle?
00:29Belle?
00:30Belle?
00:31Belle?
00:32Belle?
00:33Belle?
00:34Belle?
00:35Belle?
00:36Belle?
00:37Belle?
00:38Belle?
00:39Belle?
00:40Belle?
00:41Belle?
00:42Belle?
00:43Belle?
00:44Belle?
00:45Belle?
00:47Belle?
00:52What happened?
00:54I thought I was gonna die.
00:59What did Tom do, lovey?
01:03He was...
01:04He was chasing me and he...
01:06He broke the door down.
01:08He was gonna shoot me.
01:10You what?
01:11I didn't have a choice.
01:13About what?
01:14You're not making much sense.
01:16Killing him.
01:20I've killed him, Lydia.
01:25Hi, it's me again.
01:27Look, I messed up.
01:28Sam, Lydia and Vinnie know that you're going up there,
01:30so please, Tom, just give me a call back when you can, yeah?
01:34What are you doing?
01:36I'm warning him that they're on a war path.
01:38If they know that he's up there, then he'll never hear the end of it.
01:41Yes, for good reason.
01:43Come on.
01:44Why do you think he had to trick Belle into seeing him?
01:48I need to phone Lydia and check Belle's OK.
01:50Oh, Belle's all right.
01:51Will you please just quit this flipping melodrama?
01:53Everything all right?
01:55Yeah, it's fine.
01:56Right, Amy?
01:59Oh, my mum text back, by the way.
02:01Yeah, she was fighting to pick up Esther, now Lydia can't.
02:03Well, I did say I'd go up.
02:04Yeah, and I said I'd rather we stay here and chat.
02:08Answer phone.
02:09Look, spare us the lecture, all right?
02:11Tom's not some psycho, and why are you all on Belle's side?
02:15You know what, I'm going to phone him up again
02:17and put him on speaker so you can hear for yourself what he's up against.
02:20She's ruining his life.
02:41It's OK, love.
02:42We're all here now and we're not going anywhere,
02:44so whatever you think you did...
02:47What, you don't believe me?
02:50I believe you've been under an incredible amount of stress.
02:57Can you tell us what happened?
03:00I don't know.
03:02I don't know.
03:04I don't know.
03:06I don't know.
03:08I don't know.
03:09Can you tell us what happened?
03:12He said he knew that I was going to the police.
03:17So he started hitting me.
03:25Go on, love.
03:28He'd locked the door.
03:30And I thought,
03:32if I can just get to Sam's gone,
03:35I can scare him, I can make him stop.
03:40Then what?
03:42Then I locked myself in the flat.
03:46But he just smashed through.
03:49And he kept walking towards me and he had this look in his eyes.
03:54And the gun?
03:56I tried to pull the trigger.
03:59And it wouldn't work.
04:00And he was mocking me and then...
04:02And then he had the gun and...
04:04And he was about to use it and...
04:09And then I saw it.
04:13Saw what?
04:18The axe.
04:23I stuck it right in his back and he...
04:25He just collapsed.
04:27God, you poor, poor girl.
04:33Anything, love?
04:36He's...
04:39He's dead.
04:40Oh, God.
04:44What's going to happen to me now?
04:55Quite a day, eh?
04:57Why all the urgency?
05:00This isn't about being disloyal.
05:02Why is he not answering?
05:04Emilia, if you know something, you're not telling me.
05:08I just told him that Belle were going to the police.
05:10You couldn't have us spreading more lies about him.
05:13Oh, my God.
05:14I'm sorry, but I don't see the big deal about this.
05:16No, of course you don't.
05:18Because this is what Tom's good at.
05:20Fooling people.
05:21Manipulating them.
05:23I've got to get up there.
05:24Right, well, I'm coming too.
05:26So I can watch you eat your words when you realise that you're wrong.
05:28No, you're not.
05:29You are going to go home and you're going to stay there.
05:30Amy, I'm not a kid.
05:31Then stop acting like one.
05:34Please, Emilia.
05:35Just do it.
05:41Emilia, I'm sorry.
05:43I was just so scared.
05:44I didn't know what he was going to do to me.
05:46It's all right, love.
05:47Just take a deep breath.
05:50It's Tom that's driven you to this.
05:52Yeah, but there's still a body up in flat.
05:55We can't just leave it there, can we?
05:57Even if he isn't worth spitting on.
06:00Yeah, so we call the police.
06:02Tell them that Belle was acting in self-defence.
06:04Tom would have killed her, eh?
06:06No, we aren't getting our stories properly straight first, we don't.
06:09No, stop.
06:11Look, there'll be no story, no police.
06:14We don't call anyone.
06:17So if we're not telling the police, that means...
06:20I know what it means, Sam.
06:21Just think about it, though.
06:23We know what she's been through.
06:25Tom's got an axe in his back.
06:27Yeah, because he was a monster and she had to stop him.
06:29I mean, it might look like he was running away.
06:32That Belle attacked him from behind without being provoked.
06:35It's hardly a cut-and-dry self-defence case, is it?
06:38What are you saying?
06:39I'm not saying anything.
06:40Anyone who knows you won't doubt what happened, love, but the police don't.
06:44And they don't know what Tom's capable of, either.
06:46I mean, do you really think Belle looks like the murdering type?
06:50Oh, sorry, no, erm...
06:52That was a really stupid thing to say.
06:54You know what happened to Gemma? That wasn't...
06:56Yeah, just forget I said it, sorry.
06:58Yeah, nice one.
06:59I should never have waited to go to the police.
07:01No, love, this is not your fault.
07:03We just need to decide what we're going to do now.
07:09What, as if, you know, we hide the body or not?
07:12No, no, we can't.
07:15Belle needs protecting, whatever it takes.
07:19Look, this don't make sense.
07:21You went crackers at me when I went after Craig.
07:23This isn't the same.
07:24Plus, don't you think she's been through enough?
07:26Just look at her, Sam!
07:27I'm sorry, right, but why were you shooting her?
07:29Sam!
07:30I'm sorry, right, but why are we assuming the worst here?
07:32I mean, all the stuff we're talking about might not happen, might it?
07:35I mean, Belle's clearly got injuries, so that's evidence for starters.
07:38All right, yeah, and what if the police just say
07:40all that proves is that things got physical between her and Tom?
07:43Well, we'll say it's not the truth.
07:45And you're really confident that they'll believe you
07:47once they hear she's a dingo?
07:49That in the meantime they're not going to lock her up
07:51whilst it's dragged through the courts?
07:53Belle's mental health spirals.
07:54Are you sure that we can take that risk?
07:57What, and concealing her body, that's just risk-free, is it?
08:00No, but...
08:02It's better than the alternative.
08:05We need him off our lands so we can look after Belle.
08:09OK, right, well, say we all agree.
08:12How do you explain Belle's injuries, then?
08:14Because if they know he was violent, that makes him more of a suspect, doesn't it?
08:17It gives her actual motive.
08:19All right.
08:21We agree to keep quiet.
08:25Hide Belle's injuries and come up with a cover story.
08:29Aye.
08:31So no-one would know what a psycho he was.
08:33He'd get away with what he did to her.
08:35Hardly, Sam. The man's dead.
08:42OK, so we're all in agreement, we get rid of him for Belle.
08:54DOG BARKS
09:02Right, it's probably best to reverse the van
09:06up to the bottom of the sets here.
09:08We'd best see what we're dealing with first.
09:12Can we not just call Kay? He's way better at this stuff.
09:15He'll be halfway to Scotland by now, probably.
09:18And besides, no call, no trail.
09:20Aside from stacks of Tom's DNA up there.
09:22At times like this, I wish we still had the pigs.
09:24Best clean-up team you can get.
09:26Sam!
09:27What? I'm just trying to think practically.
09:29These are cleaning to me, it's what I do.
09:32Anyway, right, I'll leave you two to crack on.
09:36I'll go back inside and check on Belle.
09:38Lydia!
09:40What's she doing here?
09:41Probably worried about Belle.
09:43What are you going to say?
09:44I don't know, I'm thinking.
09:46Amy!
09:47Love, everything all right?
09:49I wanted to check how Belle was.
09:51I wanted to check how Belle was after you rushed off.
09:53Erm...
09:54Only Amelia.
09:56She told Tom about Belle going to the police.
09:59I see.
10:00So did he come up here?
10:02No, thankfully.
10:04Maybe he lost his nerve, eh?
10:06Finally packed himself off for good,
10:08like he should have done months ago.
10:10I reckon.
10:11We can live in hope.
10:13But Belle's OK?
10:15Yeah, as can be expected.
10:18She's having a nap.
10:20After going for a walk with Charity.
10:23I think the stress of everything have let us,
10:25taken its toll.
10:27I'm not surprised.
10:29Listen, about going to the police later,
10:32I mean, assuming Belle still wants to...
10:34Yeah, I'll get her to text you.
10:37Let you know what she's feeling up to.
10:39Don't let us keep you.
10:41Yeah.
10:42I'll speak to her later.
10:47We shouldn't be doing this, it's nuts.
10:49What?
10:50Protecting a vulnerable young girl
10:52that's already been through hell?
10:54What do you think Zac had want us to do?
10:56She's right, Vinnie. What else could we do?
10:59A few deep breaths, love. You'll be fine.
11:01What can it be now before I bottle it, yeah?
11:03Oh, no, I was going to get us afternoon tea and scones first.
11:06I'll go check on Belle.
11:08Good luck, both of you.
11:20After you.
11:22Oh, yeah, ta.
11:30Oi, I thought you said you were here.
11:33What?
11:49I'm sorry.
12:00Try not to mess with it, love.
12:04He's gone.
12:06What?
12:07Tom, the flat's empty, which means he's alive, right?
12:10I don't understand.
12:12You said you saw him, that he was dead.
12:14Yeah, apart from he can't have been.
12:16Cos fuck what I can't do, don't get up and wander off.
12:18It's not on the table.
12:19It's not staying there. It needs washing and burying.
12:22That can wait. You need to find Tom.
12:24Well, do what exactly? Finish him off?
12:26Look, just stop him from going to the police.
12:29Buy us some time. Go on. He can't have got far.
12:32Right, well, lock the door and don't open it until we get back.
12:48Oh!
12:54Tom? Are you OK?
12:56Tom, can you hear me?
13:03Tom?
13:06Tom?
13:09I'm just going to put you in the recovery position and get you some help.
13:14Yeah, ambulance, please.
13:17Yeah, thank you.
13:21Yeah, now!
13:25Oh!
13:30Did Amelia come back in here? She's not at home.
13:33No, I haven't seen her since earlier.
13:35Although it's pretty obvious that you two have some kind of beef with each other.
13:38Liam, hi.
13:40An accident?
13:42Oh...
13:43What's wrong with him?
13:45It's Tom.
13:47OK, we'll meet you up there.
13:52Tom's collapsed. Liam's with him. There's an ambulance.
13:55What happened?
13:57He doesn't seem to know, but...
14:00he's lost a lot of blood.
14:03I mean, you'd honestly think he's got this far in his state.
14:06So where did he then?
14:08So where is he then? And who knows how bad he really is.
14:11I mean, you thought he were flaming dead when he weren't.
14:13You didn't see him, Sam!
14:15Oh, blimey.
14:16What?
14:18Oh, no.
14:20You don't suppose there's any chance it's not him?
14:22What do you think?
14:24Why's Liam there?
14:26Who cares? Least of us worry about Sam, innit?
14:29I knew it. I knew we should have just told the truth.
14:32So now what?
14:34We can't just stand here. They might have seen us.
14:37We've got to go over there.
14:38Why do you want to do that?
14:39Just come on, write him. Act shocked.
14:41I am flaming shocked.
14:43Liam!
14:46What's going on? Is that Tom?
14:48Yeah, I'm afraid so.
14:49Listen, I've called Jimmy, but I wasn't sure whether or not to call Belle in the circumstances.
14:53Why are they putting him on the ambulance?
14:55He's got a hefty laceration in his back.
14:58I've no idea how. I just saw him collapsed.
15:01So you don't know what's happened?
15:03He's too woozy and weak to talk.
15:04Listen, I should go in the ambulance. I'm sorry to leave you both here.
15:06Is he going to die?
15:08Right now we just need him to get to the hospital so we can get as much blood into him as we can.
15:12Do you reckon he'll be able to tell at the hospital?
15:14What's happened to him, I mean?
15:15Let's hope he makes a speedy recovery and then he can tell us himself.
15:25So what now?
15:26We'll go to the hospital and make sure he doesn't say anything.
15:29I haven't got all the answers, Sam.
15:31Right, let's just get there first, yeah? Come on.
15:37SIREN WAILS
15:49Sam's just messaged, lovey.
15:53It seems that Liam's found Tom.
15:58So he's...?
16:01He collapsed in the road.
16:04He's on his way to hospital now.
16:07Right.
16:09Meaning he can make out to the police that this is all me.
16:12He can make out what he likes, love.
16:14It doesn't mean it'd stick.
16:15Why doesn't it?
16:16Because we'd move heaven and earth to prove that you're the innocent party here.
16:20Besides, they'd have to link the axe to you, prove that Tom was here, and we're already working on that.
16:25What, because we're suddenly forensic experts?
16:28I need to go to hospital.
16:29What? Why do you?
16:31I need to talk to him, I need to see if he's going to wake up, what he's going to say.
16:34No, no, there's no way. I'm not going to let you.
16:36Not here?
16:37Look, the only thing you need to worry about is your alibi.
16:41Saying that you went for a walk with charity, if anyone asks.
16:44And you haven't seen Tom for weeks, OK?
16:47Come on, love.
16:48Come inside, you're still in shock.
16:50OK, fine.
16:56SIGHS
17:02Belle, what are you doing?
17:03I've just told you, I've got to get to Oxford.
17:05Love, you're not thinking straight. Come back here.
17:08Now, please. Belle, listen to me.
17:11Belle.
17:13Belle.
17:15Belle.
17:17Belle, come on.
17:18Belle! Belle!
17:24Liam, what's happened?
17:26Erm, he's just had a CT scan.
17:29What for? What's wrong with him?
17:30So he's got a haemonyma thorax,
17:32which means he's got a collapsed lung
17:34and he's got internal bleeding around the lungs.
17:37He's going to need a chest drain to clear any air and fluid.
17:40I see.
17:41As he said, what happened, he is presumably conscious.
17:44Yeah, he's still very croggy at the minute.
17:46It'll be a combination of the pain and the shock and the blood loss.
17:50You didn't answer the first part.
17:53Erm, Tom's got a deep wound in his back.
17:58It's likely the hospital will need to contact the police.
18:01Sorry, how can he have been stabbed? By who?
18:03I wish I could tell you more. Look, let me see if I can find someone.
18:06Thanks, Liam.
18:09Well, it looks like the curse of the kings has struck again.
18:12What are you talking about?
18:14About the Dingle one, anyway.
18:16You don't mean it.
18:17Who says I don't?
18:19He was fine until he met Belle.
18:22And then a few months back, he's electrocuted out of the blue.
18:26And then Belle starts bad-mouthing him to the whole village
18:30until Cain's spoiling to beat him up.
18:33I mean, surely there's a pattern.
18:37What are they doing here?
18:40Jimmy, hi.
18:41We saw Tom getting put in an ambulance.
18:43Just wondering what's happening. Is he all right?
18:46We don't know.
18:48In fact, there's a lot we don't know.
18:56Jimmy said Liam didn't know how it happened.
18:58I do.
18:59I mean, this is what Belle does.
19:01She stabs people in the back, only this time, she's done it for real.
19:05Belle didn't even see Tom. Lydia said he didn't go up there.
19:09And you believed her.
19:11She's not right, Amy.
19:13And this just proves it.
19:15Where were you going?
19:16To hospital.
19:17To be there for him.
19:19Because he's actually the victim here.
19:26Come on.
19:44That was Lydia. She's been trying to call us loads.
19:47Can't hear what they're saying.
19:48No, me neither.
19:50Because Lydia couldn't stop it.
19:52But she can't, not in her state.
19:54Right, well, I'll head down and stop everyone getting to watch, yeah?
19:57Mr and Mrs King?
19:59Hi. Any news?
20:01We can't seem to get Tom's pain levels under control.
20:04We're double-checking we haven't missed anything on his scan.
20:11Perhaps you'd prefer if we talk in the family room, where it's quieter?
20:15Yeah, we would. Thanks.
20:22What's going on?
20:23He should be here, that's what.
20:24What should we say to him?
20:25I don't know. That he's going to cark it up for me.
20:27That'll be the best for all of us.
20:29I need to go in there and find out what they're...
20:30No, you need to go home and have Lyds look after you.
20:32I'm begging you, Belle.
20:33When he's right, you're going to blow everything.
20:35I already have. Haven't I, Sam?
20:37What are you talking about?
20:39If Tom dies, that's another life I've taken.
20:42How do I live with myself?
20:43Don't lose sleep over it. The bloke's a psycho.
20:46And if he survives?
20:48If he lands me in it, then my life's over?
20:52So whatever happens, I'm screwed?
20:55He's won, hasn't he?
