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