00:29We have a deceased male, approximately 40 years old, found line at the bottom of Scaffolding. Could we have the
00:35police here please?

01:13Todd?
01:16So what happens now?
01:19Sorry, that's a stupid question for a funeral director.
01:22I know what happens now, but...
01:26I meant...
01:28I...
01:28It's OK. Come here, sweetheart. Have that.
01:31It's your worst, sweetheart. You can't pick up the body.
01:35No, no, um...
01:37No, power bolts will sort everything.
01:40Yeah. They're a good bunch.
01:44And aside from that...
01:49We grieve...
01:52Whatever we all thought of Theo.
01:55And I hated him as much as anyone.
02:00But...
02:02You'll still need to grieve.
02:20Debbie?
02:22You OK?
02:24Oh, er, no.
02:26No, not really.
02:27Kyle's had an accident.
02:29It is in a bad way.
02:31Sorry, I've got to go.
02:32Yeah, of course.
02:33Let us know if there's anything you need, yeah?
02:34Ben, I'm gasping in here.
02:37I'm coming.
02:38I'm coming.
02:43That was Debbie Webster.
02:46Her carl's been in an accident.
02:49Almost said that like he can't.
02:51Hassie, the poor wee lamb.
02:55I'm glad to see you're fussing away over him
02:57instead of your poor old mother that nearly died.
03:01Shouldn't they bring you a cup of tea?
03:02They'll be wanting to give you one of them Pride of Britain a while.
03:06Nan?
03:07I'm grand, I'm grand.
03:08Right, let's just keep the conversation to a minimum, shall we?
03:11Good luck with that.
03:15Where's Will?
03:16Refusing to talk to anyone.
03:18Not surprising, given the shock he got.
03:21Yeah, you'd think he'd be used to it,
03:22but now he's going through it with me.
03:24Sure, we've been dropping like flies since we got here.
03:27No.
03:29That's not the shock I was referring to.
03:34Yeah, he had my phone,
03:36and he looked like he wanted to hurt me.
03:41Take a deep breath, you're going to be all right.
03:43I was terrified, I just...
03:45I ran and hid
03:47until I felt safe enough to call here.
03:50And you picked him up?
03:54Cos George had been, um...
04:00drinking, so...
04:02And none of you seen him after that?
04:04No.
04:05Not alive, no.
04:07Right.
04:07Um, you mentioned that Theo talked about taking his own life.
04:12He did, yeah.
04:14He threatened to do it quite a few times.
04:16Look, I don't mean to speak ill of the dead and that,
04:18but let's face it,
04:20Theo would say anything to come manipulate Todd.
04:22That's the sort of bloke he was.
04:24It was coercive control, wasn't it?
04:25It was like mental abuse as well as physical abuse,
04:27and if anyone...
04:28George, love.
04:31Sorry.
04:32It's all right.
04:33It's not, though, is it?
04:34George is right.
04:36I mean, we all know what Theo was like,
04:39what he was capable of.
04:40All he did was cause misery.
04:43Is that what you think, then,
04:44that he killed himself to hurt me?
04:47This was, like,
04:48his final act of...
04:50abuse.
04:54Do you?
04:57I don't know.
04:59Maybe.
05:00Unless somebody got there first.
05:03Unless this was murder.
05:06Mary.
05:06Flippin' heck.
05:08Well, come on.
05:08I can't be the only one thinking that.
05:10Everybody hated him.
05:12Is that what you think, Kit?
05:13That I killed him?
05:15I'm just here to gather information about it.
05:17But it's a line of inquiry.
05:18I mean, you thought I was an abuser before.
05:20Why not murder her this time?
05:21Todd.
05:23Todd, I understand how hard this is,
05:25but it's not going to help
05:26if we all start throwing accusations around, is it?
05:29You know, let's do our job
05:30and we'll figure it out, OK?
05:33I think that's enough questions.
05:35You know where I am if you need me.
05:37Obviously, I'll wait until the, er,
05:39pathology report comes through.
05:43Hiya.
05:43Hey.
05:44Hiya.
05:44Hiya.
05:45Not seen how well, have you?
05:47No.
05:47I snuck out this morning before I got up
05:49and I just think he's a bit shaken up
05:51after what happened to Maggie.
05:52A bit worried about him.
05:53How's she doing?
05:55Yeah.
05:55They'll keep her in overnight,
05:57but she's on the mend.
05:58Hmm.
05:58Funny, isn't it?
05:59You don't picture somebody like her
06:00having a heart attack.
06:01Faking one, yeah.
06:03Come on, can I put the kettle on?
06:05Cheers.
06:06Have you got any idea who did it?
06:07No.
06:08Sarah?
06:11What's going on?
06:12Just on my way to the hospital.
06:13Yeah, I phoned you.
06:14I managed to get bumped up the queue for the scan,
06:17so they discharged me early.
06:20I'm sorry, I've just been with, er...
06:22How is Todd?
06:24Todd?
06:25Hello, what's happened?
06:27What, have you not heard?
06:28No, what?
06:30Theo died last night.
06:31What?
06:33Looks like he, er...
06:34fell off some scaffolding.
06:36Oh, my God.
06:38Did you see him last night?
06:39I didn't see him last night.
06:40What about his van?
06:41His van.
06:42It was all smashed up.
06:44Sorry, is this you questioning me, or...?
06:45I'm just trying to find...
06:46Right, Kit, come on, just take a breath.
06:48OK.
06:50I will need to speak to you at some point, though.
06:52Of course you will.
06:53Right, come on, Sarah, let's get you on.
06:55No, I need to go and see Todd.
06:56Sarah, come on, please.
07:03Thank you so much, officer.
07:05Take care.
07:11Before you start...
07:12Why do you not tell me about the dodgy blokes?
07:15And the USB?
07:15Oh, just don't, OK?
07:17I mean, the same blokes who nearly killed my sister.
07:19We don't know that Jodie was connected to that, not for sure.
07:22Well, then where is she?
07:23I don't know.
07:24I mean, did she say anything to you?
07:25No.
07:27We don't know what Jodie's got herself into.
07:30Exactly, no, we don't.
07:32I mean, how well do you know your sister, really?
07:35What's that supposed to mean?
07:42Hiya, Sarah.
07:43Are you OK?
07:45Are you sure you don't want to go back and get some rest?
07:49No.
07:50Well, you've been here...
07:52Ronnie, stop moving your mouth.
07:55I'm not going anywhere.
07:59Ah, so, Ryan, he's just texted.
08:02He heard what happened.
08:04He passes on his love.
08:06So everyone knows, then?
08:09Oh, my.
08:11Ah.
08:13Did you hear about Theo?
08:17No.
08:18What about him?
08:19He was found dead.
08:20Falling off some scaffolding.
08:23Plummy neck.
08:24Yeah?
08:26What have you got to tell me that for?
08:28What?
08:29My cow is lying there with a hole in his lung.
08:34And you're telling me about the neighbourhood husband beat her up or he's popped his clogs.
08:40Sorry, I just...
08:40I don't care, Ronnie.
08:42I don't care about anything.
08:45Apart from...
08:46Him.
08:47In there.
08:48Right now.
08:53Why don't you go and find us something to eat or drink or something, yeah?
08:59That'd be good.
09:01Thanks.
09:07Okay.
09:23Oh, time should you call this, then?
09:25Why are you two here?
09:27I thought you were supposed to be on a flight.
09:29Well, don't look at me.
09:29I told him to go.
09:31I bet seeing something like that is...
09:34No, I'm fine.
09:34You should go.
09:35Yeah, well, we will.
09:36Just not yet.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Mm-hmm.
09:39I mean, as if your mum's going to go off on Aldi when her body's been discovered on her
09:43own street.
09:43You know, she's all going to be busting the Marianne keys round.
09:47Oh, Betts, I'm sorry.
09:48Oh, Lord.
09:49It's silly.
09:51Oh.
09:52No, it's not.
09:53It's just seeing him there after everything with Mason, but...
09:56Fine.
09:58Hey.
10:03Can't believe it.
10:04I'm so sorry.
10:07Who knows what was going on in that man's head, eh?
10:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
10:12Miles and Millie, I haven't told them.
10:15Or Danielle.
10:16No, I'm sure they would have been told.
10:18But...
10:18But I'll check for you.
10:20Pass me phone, love.
10:20It should be me.
10:21No, let him do it, love.
10:23He's good at that sort of thing.
10:29What's that?
10:29Just some post.
10:31I intercepted the postie on the way to your flat.
10:34It's a parcel.
10:34Probably.
10:49It's the pictures from my wedding.
10:51I can't.
10:54Hey.
10:55Hey, it's OK.
10:56It's not, though, is it?
10:57Why am I getting upset over him?
11:00Last night I thought he was wanting to kill me.
11:03It's OK to be upset.
11:04Is it?
11:07Or to miss him or wish that he was here to hug me?
11:11After all that, is that OK?
11:13Listen, you can react however you want to, OK?
11:15There's no right way to handle this.
11:18I can't.
11:19I feel like there's too many people here.
11:20No, you're right.
11:21We're crowding you.
11:22Come on, let's give him some space.
11:23No.
11:23No, I completely understand.
11:25You don't.
11:26You can't, all right?
11:27Because I don't understand it.
11:28It's messed up.
11:31I miss him.
11:33I want him.
11:35I wish I could go back to last night and stop what happened.
11:41I wish it was him here, not you.
11:51I wish I could go back to last night and stop what happened.
11:54I'm so sorry.
12:16All right.
12:17Cheers.
12:19No worries. I'll keep them coming.
12:23Listen, for what it's worth, I get it.
12:26Needing some space.
12:30Is he all right?
12:33No, I don't think he is really.
12:35Has he said anything yet?
12:37No, I just think he's avoiding concerned friends.
12:41I mean, I've let George know.
12:46Will's still not picking up.
12:48Ben can't get hold of me either.
12:52I didn't really get the whole space thing then.
12:55I'm sorry, love. That was me.
12:58Oh, right, so everybody's had a good gossip about you, haven't they?
13:01Leanne? Toya?
13:02What do you think? Did Theo kill himself or did one of us lot bump him off?
13:08Well, maybe he slipped.
13:10Maybe, Leanne.
13:11Maybe.
13:13Look, mate.
13:14Whatever happened,
13:16people care about you.
13:19Yeah, and you can try,
13:20but you're going to have to run further than the pub
13:22if you want to give us two the slip.
13:27I think you've had enough of that.
13:29Come on.
13:29Come on.
13:31Come on.
13:46Hey.
13:50It's all right, darling.
13:53You've had an accident.
13:56But you're going to be fine.
14:00It hurts.
14:03It's a breath.
14:06It's my chest.
14:09Yeah.
14:12It's all going to be fine.
14:18They, um...
14:19They said they found you.
14:22Outside.
14:24In the hospital car park.
14:26Can you remember what happened?
14:30I don't remember anything.
14:33No.
14:34It makes no sense.
14:37No.
14:38Darling, none of it makes any sense.
14:41My head spinning with it all.
14:44I don't remember being that drunk.
14:50What am I doing, Deb?
14:54I'm an idiot.
14:56I'm a total idiot.
14:57No, you're not.
14:59You're not.
15:00Calm yourself, Deb.
15:01Everything I touch falls apart.
15:03Darling, no, it doesn't.
15:05You're going to be okay.
15:08But Kev was right.
15:10This is karma.
15:13I deserve this.
15:15And you were right.
15:17When you said I'm not lovable.
15:20I don't deserve love.
15:25What are you even doing here?
15:27Oh, God.
15:30Let me just say this to you.
15:34You do deserve love.
15:38And I am not going anywhere.
15:41Okay?
15:44Hey!
15:49Have you been wearing this?
15:51Of course I have.
15:54And gave it to me.
15:56And whatever you think.
15:58I will always love you.
16:02You're the best part of me.
16:07I love you.
16:12Shona's out looking for her now, but...
16:14She told me to stay here in case she comes back.
16:19Why, er...
16:20Why did she not tell the police that Jodie might be involved in it all?
16:25I don't know.
16:26I think she might be worried that she's got herself into something.
16:30Like what?
16:32Like...
16:33I don't know.
16:35You know, if he asks, I'm not going to be able to lie to Kit about it.
16:39Well, then don't bring it up.
16:41All right.
16:43I mean, we'll call the cops, you know, if Jodie does call me.
16:51You all right?
16:51Yeah, I'm all right.
16:53I'm just weird.
16:54I'm back here.
16:55I haven't really...
16:57...slept very well.
16:58So, have you told Shona about what Jodie tried to trick you into?
17:02No!
17:03Well, why not?
17:05Because...
17:08Look, why don't you go home?
17:10I mean, you look half dead.
17:12Excuse your expression.
17:14Yeah.
17:16What are you going to do?
17:18Honestly, I've got no idea.
17:21I'll tell you one thing, though.
17:23If Jodie has done a flit and she never comes back, I have to say,
17:27I'd be okay with that.
17:32Megan, it's me.
17:33Look, I got on your phone.
17:34Just give me a call back on this number.
17:37I just need you to tell me if...
17:41...if what you said was true.
17:43Or were you just saying it because Nan was there?
17:45Or were you just...
17:46Look, I don't know.
17:47Just call me back when you get this.
17:49Hello?
17:57Well, why aren't you answering?
17:58Just didn't feel like talking.
17:59Okay.
18:00Stop.
18:01Will, stop!
18:01Look, I don't want to talk to you!
18:03Ma told me what Megan said.
18:07What's going on, Ben?
18:09Megan told him and Ma that she didn't lose the baby.
18:13She had an abortion.
18:14What?
18:16Will, that's huge!
18:18No, no, it's not, okay?
18:20Because, like I've been telling you, it was never mine and I don't care!
18:23Will!
18:24Will!
18:25Mate!
18:27So does Maggie know that it's not her fault that she...
18:29Yeah, she's in the clear.
18:31Megan, however, even more of a psycho than we thought.
18:33Oh, God knows what this is going to do to him.
18:36Oh, babe, I would have appreciated a heads up if...
18:38You would, yeah?
18:40How about giving me a heads up about the whole kidnapping Megan thing, huh?
18:44Or about your mad sister backhanding her on the face?
18:48Well, actually, it wasn't even the mad one, it was Taya.
18:51Oh, you think this is funny, do you?
18:53Well, look, I had to do something.
18:54Yeah, well, all you've done is put us in the wrong when we were about to get through to him.
18:59Megan aborted his child, lied to him.
19:01He must nobody know that she's not on his side.
19:03How could I have known that?
19:05Yeah.
19:07So instead you've went and done something oddly stupid.
19:12Well!
19:25Aren't you meant to be on a play?
19:27Yeah, we postponed it.
19:30Oh.
19:31Oh, yeah.
19:32How is, er...
19:33How is Betsy?
19:34Well, she's been better.
19:35Look, should we just skip this next bit where you have a go at me about coming into work
19:38when I should be off and just let me know if the pathologist reports through yet?
19:42All yours.
19:46Cheers.
19:54The position of the blunt force trauma suggests that it was not connected to the fall.
19:59He was hit before he fell, which is what we suspected.
20:03It wasn't suicide.
20:07He was murdered.
20:11Just because we suspected it doesn't mean it makes sense.
20:14I get the guy was unpopular, understatement intended, but murder?
20:19Unpopular?
20:19You're joking, aren't you?
20:20Half the street hated his guts, and with good reason.
20:25You heard what he did to Todd.
20:27The guy's a sadist.
20:30Yeah, but even knowing that, you really think that someone would kill him for it?
20:36Batter him and throw him off a building?
20:39You reckon anyone close to Todd is capable of that?
20:46I've been doing this for years now, and I'm still surprised at what people are capable of.
20:52The quiet ones and the nice ones.
20:55That's me.
20:56I reckon we've got a long list of people who'd want to throw him off a building.
21:00And would you really be surprised if Todd snapped?
21:04They all spent the last year dehumanising, brutalising the person he's supposed to love.
21:11You heard what he said in his interview.
21:13It's all on tape.
21:17This was long-term psychological torture.
21:20Months and months of abuse.
21:22Physical and sexual assault.
21:25And if I was Todd,
21:29if I'd been through what he'd been through,
21:34and if I had the opportunity...
21:40I would have done it in a heartbeat.
22:08I would have done it in a heartbeat.
22:09Maybe?
22:10Yeah.
22:11Yeah.
22:16But like we had a feeling that I need to do with that...
22:17I want to get a little bit off.
22:17If I can't get on a beat, I'm just kidding.
22:17But wait, Dad, that's how I can get on a beat.
22:17I'm just kidding.
22:17You'll be happy with that.
