00:30We have a deceased male, approximately 40 years old, found line at the bottom of Scaffolding.
00:34Could we have the police here, please?
01:03Obviously I'm here in a professional capacity, but I just want to say sorry, I shouldn't allow
01:09you to get away. Todd?
01:16So what happens now? Sorry, that's a stupid question for a funeral director. I know what
01:24happens now, but... I mean... I...
01:28It's OK. Come here, sweetheart. Have time.
01:32Shut up, sweetheart. Can't pick up the body.
01:35No. No, erm... No, Powerballs will sort everything. Yeah. They're a good bunch. And aside from
01:46that... we grieve whatever we all thought of Theo. And I hated him as much as anyone. But... you'll
02:03still need to grieve.
02:20Debbie? Are you OK?
02:24Oh, erm... no. No, not really. Kyle's had an accident. It is in a bad way. Sorry, I've got
02:32to go.
02:32Yeah, of course. Let us know if there's anything you need, yeah?
02:35Ben! I'm gasping in here!
02:37I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming.
02:43That was Debbie Webster. Her carl's been in an accident.
02:49I almost said that like he cared. Has he? The poor wee lamb. I'm glad to see you're fussing
02:56away over him, instead of your poor old mother that nearly died.
03:01Shouldn't they bring you a cup of tea? They'll be wanting to give you one of them
03:04Pride of Britain awa...
03:06Nan?
03:07I'm grand, I'm grand. Right, let's just keep the conversation to a minimum, shall we?
03:11Hey, good luck with that. Where's Will? Refusing to talk to anyone. Not surprising, given the
03:20shock he got. Yeah, you'd think he'd be used to it, but now he's going through it with me.
03:25Sure we've been dropping like flies since we got here. No. That's not the shock I was referring
03:31to. Yeah, he had my phone and it looked like he wanted to hurt me. Take a deep breath, you're
03:42going to be all right. I was terrified. I just ran and hid until I felt safe enough to call
03:49here.
03:50And you picked him up? Because George had been drinking, so...
04:02And none of you's seen him after that?
04:04No. Not alive, no.
04:07Right. Erm, you mentioned that Theo talked about taking his own life?
04:12He did, yeah. He threatened to do it quite a few times.
04:16Look, I don't mean to speak ill of the dead and that, but let's face it, Theo would say anything
04:20to come manipulate Todd. That's the sort of bloke he was. I mean, it was coercive control, wasn't it?
04:25It was like mental abuse as well as physical abuse and if anyone...
04:28George, you love...
04:31Sorry. It's all right. It's not though, is it?
04:34George is right. I mean, we all know what Theo was like, what he was capable of.
04:40All he did was cause misery.
04:43Is that what you think then, that he killed himself to hurt me?
04:46This was like his final act of... abuse.
04:54Do you?
04:57I don't know. Maybe.
05:00Unless somebody got there first.
05:03Unless this was murder.
05:06Mary.
05:06Flippin' heck.
05:08Well, come on. I can't be the only one thinking that. Everybody hated him.
05:11Is that what you think, Kit? That I killed him?
05:15I'm just here to gather information about...
05:17But it's a line of inquiry. I mean, you thought I was an abuser before. Why not murder her this
05:21time?
05:21Todd.
05:23Todd, I understand how hard this is, but...
05:25It's not gonna help if we all start throwing accusations around, is it?
05:29You know, let's do our job and we'll figure it out, okay?
05:33I think that's enough questions.
05:35You know where I am if you need me.
05:37Obviously, we'll wait until the pathology report comes through.
05:43Hiya.
05:43Hey.
05:44Hiya.
05:45Not seen how well, have ya?
05:47No.
05:47I snuck out this morning before I got up.
05:49I just think he's a bit shaken up after what happened to Maggie.
05:52Bit worried about him.
05:54How's she doing?
05:55Yeah, they'll keep her in overnight, but she's on the mend.
05:58Hmm. Funny, innit?
05:59You don't picture somebody like her having 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, so they discharged me early.
06:20I'm sorry, I've just been with, er...
06:22How is Todd?
06:23Todd?
06:25Hello.
06:26What's happened?
06:27Have you not heard?
06:28No.
06:29What?
06:30Theo died last night.
06:31What?
06:33Looks like he, er...
06:35Fell 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 out...
06:46Right, Kit, come on.
06:47Just 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.
06:57Please.
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?
07:16Oh, 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.
07:31We 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.
07:54I'm just...
07:55I'm not going anywhere.
07:59Ah, sir.
08:01Ryan.
08:01He'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.
08:20Oh.
08:21Falling off some scaffolding.
08:23Plenty neck.
08:24Yeah?
08:25What are you going 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.
08:50Sorry.
08:53Why don't you go and find us something to eat or drink or something.
08:58Yeah?
08:59That'd be good.
09:01Thanks.
09:07OK.
09:23Oh.
09:24What time did 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 them to go.
09:31Look, Bette, seeing something like that is...
09:34No, I am fine.
09:34You should go.
09:35Yeah, well, we will.
09:36Just not yet.
09:38Yeah.
09:38Mm-hm.
09:39I mean, as if your mum's gonna go off on holiday when her body's been discovered on
09:43her own street, you know, she's all gonna be busting the Marianne keys round the pub...
09:47Oh, Bette, I'm sorry.
09:48Oh, Lord.
09:49It's silly.
09:50Oh.
09:52No, it's not.
09:53I was just seeing him there after everything with Mason, but...
09:57Fine.
09:58Hey.
10:03I can'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.
10:17But...
10:18But I'll check for you.
10:20Pass me phone, love.
10:20It should be me.
10:22No, let him do it, love.
10:23He's good at that sort of thing.
10:29What's that?
10:30Just some post.
10:31I intercepted the postie on the way to your flat.
10:34It's a parcel.
10:47It's...
10:49It's the pictures from my wedding.
10:51I...
10:51I can't...
10:53Hey.
10:55Hey, it's okay.
10:56Why?
10:56It's not, though, is it?
10:57Why...
10:58Why am I getting upset over him?
11:00Last night, I thought he was...
11:02Wanted to kill me.
11:03It's okay to be upset.
11:04Is it?
11:07Or to miss him?
11:08Or wish that he was here to hug me?
11:11After all that, is that okay?
11:13Listen, you can react however you want to, okay?
11:15There's no right way to handle this.
11:17I can't...
11:19I feel like there's too many people here.
11:21No, 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...
11:29It's messed up.
11:31I miss him.
11:33I...
11:34I want him.
11:35I wish I could go back to last night and stop what happened.
11:40I...
11:41I wish that it was him here, not you.
11:52I'm so sorry.
11:57I'm so sorry.
12:18Cheers.
12:19No worries.
12:19I'll keep him coming.
12:22And listen, um...
12:24For 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.
12:45Oh, Will's still not picking up.
12:48Ben can't get hold of him either.
12:52Didn't really get the whole space thing then.
12:55I'm sorry, love.
12:56That was me.
12:58Oh, right.
12:58So everybody's had a good gossip about you, haven't they?
13:01Leanne?
13:01Toya?
13:02What do you think?
13:03Did Theo kill himself?
13:04Or did one of us lot bump him off?
13:08Well, maybe he slipped.
13:10Maybe, Leanne.
13:11Maybe.
13:13Look, mate.
13:15Whatever 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.
13:28Come on.
13:46Hey.
13:50It's all right, darling.
13:53You've had an accident.
13:54I don't.
13:56But you're going to be fine.
14:01It hurts.
14:03It's a breath.
14:06It's my chest.
14:09Yeah.
14:11Yeah.
14:12It's all going to be fine.
14:18They, um...
14:19They said they found you.
14:22outside, it...
14:23in 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.
14:39Darling, none of it makes any sense.
14:41My head's spinning with it all.
14:44I don't remember being that drunk.
14:50What am I doing, Deb?
14:52Oh.
14:54I'm an idiot.
14:56I'm a total idiot.
14:57Oh, no, you're not.
14:59You're not.
15:00Calm yourself, Dad.
15:01Everything I touch falls apart.
15:03Darling, no, it doesn't.
15:06You're going to be okay.
15:08I kept it all 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?
15:28Oh, 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.
15:56Whatever you think.
15:59I 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, why 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 them.
16:51You all right?
16:51Yeah, I'm all right. I'm just weird. I'm back here. I haven't really...
16:57...slept very well. So, have you told Shona about what Jodie tried to trick you into?
17:02No!
17:02Well, why not?
17:05Because...
17:08Look, why don't you go home?
17:10I mean, you look half dead.
17:12Excuse your expression.
17:15Yeah.
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...
17:27...I'd be okay with that.
17:32Megan, it's me. Look, I got on your phone. Just 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? Or were you just...
17:46Look, I don't know. Just call me back when you get this.
17:49Hello?
17:57Will, why aren't you answering?
17:58Just didn't feel like talking.
18:00Okay. Stop.
18:01Will, stop! Look, 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.
18:15What?
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 about...
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 to 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 know by now that she's not on his side.
19:03How could I have known that?
19:06Yeah.
19:07So instead, you've went and done something oddly stupid.
19:12Well!
19:25Aren't you meant to be on a play?
19:28Yeah, we postponed it.
19:30Oh, oh, yeah.
19:32How is, er, how is Betsy?
19:34Oh, she's been better.
19:35Look, should we just skip this next bit where you have a go at me about coming into work when
19:38I should be off
19:39and 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? Half the street hated his guts.
20:22And with good reason.
20:25You heard what he did to Todd. The 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?
21:05They all spent the last year dehumanising, brutalising the person you're supposed to love.
21:11You heard what he said in his interview. It'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.
22:04I would have done it in a heartbeat.
22:07And if I ever told her to...
22:13Before the...
22:16To I have the opportunity and inappropriate part of this painting....
22:17If I could see a ghost now, I would not take a chance on such a concept.
