00:23We all care about Todd, don't we?
00:26We love him.
00:28Which is why I've asked you all to come here.
00:32He's not in a good place.
00:34No.
00:34I mean, it's no wonder with the police still out looking for Theo's killer.
00:38Are we going to hold a seance?
00:40Ask the spirits for guidance!
00:44Last time I heard, you were suspect number one.
00:46Excuse me. He's been cleared of all involvement.
00:49Thank goodness.
00:50Technically, I am still a person of interest.
00:53Just not very interested.
00:55Guys, can I just get back to why we're here, please?
00:57It's for Todd.
00:58Sorry.
00:59Yeah, I'm worried about him.
01:00Yeah, we all are.
01:01Which is why I think we all need to join forces.
01:04Look after him.
01:05Good idea.
01:06So, what are you suggesting we do?
01:08Well, I think that one of us needs to be with him at all times.
01:12We can't watch him 24-7.
01:13I know, but George is right.
01:14He's all over the place.
01:16You'd have thought he'd be jumping for joy.
01:17The man who have used him is dead.
01:19Well, it's not as simple as that, though, is it?
01:21No, it isn't.
01:23You had a nice chat about me behind my back.
01:26Todd, we're just worried about you.
01:27So, you thought, what, you'd hatch a babysitting plan?
01:30No!
01:31Well, maybe.
01:33You want to keep an eye on me,
01:34cos you're worried that I'll work out who killed him.
01:37Is it like murder on the Orient Express?
01:39You all did it!
01:40Don't be ridiculous.
01:42Ridiculous, am I?
01:44Nice.
01:44No, he didn't mean it like that.
01:52Yeah, no, it's not in the kitchen.
01:53I'll just check down the back of the sofa.
01:56Oh!
01:57Got it.
01:58Right, OK, I'll drop it into the cellar.
02:00Oh, you know, I could nick it, like, when we first met.
02:02Hee-hee.
02:03Oh, no, yeah, true.
02:04You do know where I live now.
02:06All right, OK.
02:08Well, I'll see you in a bit.
02:09Bye.
02:12Jodie!
02:14Oh!
02:15What happened?
02:15We've been so worried about you.
02:17They kidnapped me.
02:20Oh, take it from your demeanour, it didn't go well.
02:25Suspended.
02:25Pending further investigation.
02:27Oh, dear.
02:29Croshaw says she's sorry,
02:31but her hands are tied, so...
02:33Well, maybe it's for the best.
02:36I'm not sure you're in the right frame of mind
02:37to be teaching at the moment.
02:39Well, she said the same, but it's total rubbish.
02:41I should be allowed to work.
02:42This is guilty until proven innocent.
02:44No, it isn't.
02:45It'll look like that to the kids.
02:47It doesn't matter what the kids think.
02:48Of course it matters what they think.
02:50They need to know that I haven't done anything wrong.
02:52This looks like I'm being punished.
02:54Daniel, just listen to yourself.
02:56You're full of anger.
02:58I'm not surprised.
03:00Why don't you go away for a few days?
03:02We can look after Bertie.
03:04Dad, I don't want to go away.
03:07I want to be able to live my life and be normal,
03:09but nobody will let me, including you.
03:12At least think about it.
03:14Go for a walk.
03:15Clear your head.
03:17I'll pick up Bertie.
03:18No, no.
03:20I insist.
03:23Fine.
03:23Fine, fine, fine.
03:25I'll put my head's perfectly clear.
03:31You were kept in a lock-up.
03:33Where?
03:35No idea.
03:37They put a bag over my head.
03:40I was tied up the whole time.
03:43I don't get why they came back, though.
03:45I mean, you gave them the USB stick.
03:46I was there.
03:48I know.
03:50They, um...
03:50They said they thought I must have other evidence.
03:53But you don't.
03:54No.
03:56When I finally convinced them of that,
04:00I swore they'd have no more trouble
04:01if they'd just let me go.
04:03You must have been so frightened.
04:05I was.
04:07Thanks for being so nice to me.
04:09You know, even after everything that...
04:12The misunderstanding.
04:13With David.
04:14Yeah, well, like you said,
04:15it's a misunderstanding, wasn't it?
04:16I trust him and I trust you.
04:18You can't.
04:20Trust me.
04:21What, you gonna drop me wallet in?
04:23Oh.
04:25She's alive, then?
04:26She was kidnapped.
04:28Held in a lock-up.
04:29Who, by?
04:30The guys from the haulage firm.
04:33I was, um...
04:34I was coming back, you know, to...
04:36to get some stuff, and...
04:39I heard someone cry out,
04:41so I ran in.
04:43And I thought it was you.
04:45But it was Sarah.
04:48They must have panicked, I don't know,
04:50seeing her in the house.
04:52I was gonna help her, but...
04:54someone hit me and put her back over my head.
04:57She was held for days.
04:58Tied up.
04:59I mean, you have to tell the police.
05:01Yeah, you are.
05:02No, I can't...
05:03I can't tell the police.
05:06I swore they'd have no more trouble.
05:08If the police start sniffing around,
05:09they'll come back.
05:11They'll hurt me.
05:12Or you, or...
05:13or Lily.
05:14Look, my sister was knocked unconscious.
05:16Yeah, and my sister's trying to protect us.
05:18Do you reckon?
05:19Yeah, I do.
05:19Look, her staying here is just gonna bring trouble.
05:22Well, she needs us right now.
05:23I'm not arguing about this.
05:24Well, you're gonna have to tell the police something
05:26because the Jolly Green Giant's been asking questions.
05:32Will?
05:33Can you come down here for a second, son?
05:39You really think this is a good idea?
05:42I do.
05:43Definitely.
05:45Why is it?
05:47I've been thinking that, um...
05:50it'd be a good idea if you go and stay with your mother for a bit.
05:53Really?
05:54And we've got exams,
05:55but we'll speak to the school, sort something out.
05:58Might do you good.
06:00Lots of fresh air and...
06:04Heather and...
06:04deer.
06:05I live in a town.
06:07Whatever.
06:10Okay.
06:12What, you'll go?
06:13Well, if you think I should.
06:16Well, I thought I'd have to do a wee bit more persuading.
06:19Well, it might be good to get away.
06:20I'm so relieved I can finally get you out of this toxic environment.
06:23Who are you calling toxic?
06:24I don't think she meant Osma.
06:26I'm sure she just meant the Megan thing.
06:28I have to get to an important work meeting in the morning,
06:31so I have to get back tonight.
06:32You okay to pack your things?
06:34Well, it's a bit quick, but I could come up tomorrow.
06:37I'm all right.
06:37I'm getting the train by myself.
06:38If the lad wants to spend one more night with us, we should let him.
06:43We'll get your favourite pizza.
06:45Cool.
06:46Okay, then.
06:48We'll get him on the train in the morning, right?
06:50Yeah, I will.
06:51I'm so pleased you're coming to stay with me.
06:59I've been suspended.
07:01Listen, I'm sorry, but it might be a good thing.
07:03Get away for a couple of days.
07:04No, I'm sorry.
07:06I'd kill to get away for a couple of days.
07:08Escape all the snide looks and whispers.
07:10Maybe we should go away together.
07:12Two social priors on the road.
07:13What are you going on about?
07:15It's kind of a joke.
07:16Neither of us has been the most popular guy in the street, right?
07:18Well, it's not funny.
07:19And people are angry at you
07:20because you chose to go up against George and send silly emails.
07:24I've done nothing wrong.
07:25Okay.
07:25I shouldn't have to stop working.
07:26I shouldn't have to go away, all right?
07:28That woman used me.
07:30I'm the one paying the price for it.
07:32Dad, Croshaw, you.
07:34You all think I'm coming apart at the seams.
07:36Well, I'm not.
07:36And I am fed up of everyone looking at me like I was either in on it
07:39or like I'm some sad sap who's losing his marbles.
07:42I don't deserve this.
07:44You're always so angry.
07:47Bertie, I'll go.
07:48No!
07:51Bertie.
07:57This is so hard for me.
08:00I know it is.
08:03I don't know how to feel.
08:06One minute I'm fuming.
08:09Next I'm relieved.
08:15I'm devastated.
08:18I think it's probably normal to feel all these things.
08:23I knew Sean was right.
08:25In some ways I'm glad that he's not here to torment me.
08:31But then, if I'd heard a song that you would have liked
08:34and I started crying.
08:36Oh, it's hot.
08:40Crying you crocodile tears.
08:42Oh, Danielle, what do you want?
08:44I want answers.
08:47Did you kill him?
08:50So he was on a bender?
08:52Yep.
08:53What, because of what happened with...
08:56He had the voice note?
08:58It was all just a big misunderstanding.
09:01I, er...
09:03I thought it'd be awkward me staying here
09:06and that they'd rather I left.
09:09Funny, that.
09:12I went out and I got trashed.
09:15For days.
09:16I met a bloke.
09:18What can I say?
09:19I thought I wasn't welcome here.
09:21Yeah, but when she finally heard my messages,
09:23she realised she was.
09:25Right.
09:26So how do you explain the fact
09:28that we found your blood on the coffee table?
09:30I broke a glass.
09:31Cut my hand.
09:33Right, so you didn't see anyone in the house?
09:35No one at all?
09:37Not even Sarah?
09:39I wish I had.
09:41I mean, I couldn't believe it
09:42when Shona told me she'd been attacked.
09:44So you have no idea who might have done this?
09:55The police have already interviewed me.
09:57I had nothing to do with Theo's death.
10:00If you hadn't met you,
10:01you'd still be alive.
10:04Maybe.
10:04My kids would still have a dad.
10:09I didn't want any of this.
10:12If I could bring Theo back to life,
10:14I would.
10:16No, you wouldn't.
10:17I would.
10:18So I could face him in court.
10:23You could have lost.
10:26Maybe you got cold feet.
10:27Thought it was easier if he was dead.
10:29I could have lost.
10:33But I would have been heard.
10:35He'd have had to listen to
10:36everything that he put me through
10:40without interrupting or twisting things
10:42or making me feel like
10:45it was all my fault.
10:48Because that's what he did.
10:50All the time.
10:53It made me think I was going mad.
10:57And now I'm grieving him.
11:03It doesn't make sense.
11:09I know that you think that
11:11I'm making it up
11:12and you don't believe all these things.
11:16I know you think that I'm lying.
11:20I know you think that I'm lying.
11:26What?
11:31Since he's been gone,
11:32I've been thinking back over our relationship.
11:36What kind of man he was.
11:41That's what made me wonder
11:42if you'd snapped.
11:45Killed him.
11:51So you believe me?
11:56Yep.
12:11It was all I thought about
12:13every waking hour for
12:16over a year.
12:20sometimes overwhelming love.
12:23Sometimes sheer terror.
12:27Sometimes peace.
12:30Not often he was
12:32not the most relaxing person
12:34to be around.
12:36No, he wasn't.
12:38He was a good dad.
12:41Especially when the kids were little.
12:44He really loved them.
12:48I knew he had a short fuse.
12:51God, sometimes we'd go at it
12:52like hammer and tongs.
12:55That's where I went wrong.
12:57How do you mean?
13:00Gave him
13:01too much power.
13:03No.
13:06Theo took power.
13:09Had all the power
13:10in our relationship too.
13:12Just
13:13didn't abuse it.
13:17Though actually
13:18he did make all the decisions
13:20about everything.
13:22Where we lived,
13:23how we lived.
13:24How we parented.
13:29Every time we argued
13:30I gave in.
13:34Because secretly
13:35I was afraid of him.
13:40I mean
13:40he never hurt me
13:41or the kids.
13:43And I didn't want to believe
13:44he was a bad man.
13:46But
13:47I
13:48knew how controlling
13:50he was.
13:51I mean
13:52could be
13:52because
13:52not always
13:53just
13:53No.
13:55Not always.
13:58He could be kind.
14:00He really could.
14:05Look I am
14:06er
14:09I'm sorry
14:10you had to go through
14:11everything you did.
14:15thank you.
14:19I still miss him.
14:23I know that sounds crazy.
14:25It doesn't.
14:27I understand.
14:29What else
14:30do you understand?
14:31Well they didn't know him
14:32like we did did they?
14:37And I know we haven't had
14:39well the easiest relationship
14:45if you ever need anything.
14:50thank you.
14:53And same to you
14:55and the kids.
14:58Thanks.
15:01But Jodie didn't see anything.
15:04Apparently not.
15:06Oh great.
15:07Oh great.
15:07Well then
15:08there's no witness
15:09and we've no idea
15:10who attacked me.
15:11I'm as frustrated as you are.
15:13Yeah well you weren't the one
15:14that was knocked unconscious.
15:16Burglars that violent
15:17are probably pros.
15:19Right?
15:19They would have targeted
15:20someone else.
15:21We might get a lead
15:22I just don't want to get
15:22your hopes up.
15:24Okay.
15:26So any more
15:27luck with Theo's murder?
15:30Nothing concrete yet.
15:32I'm really worried
15:33about Todd you know
15:34he's just
15:35he's not
15:35in a good place.
15:37He was accusing all us
15:38earlier.
15:39Was he?
15:40He might be deflecting.
15:42Oh you don't seriously
15:43think he did it?
15:44Well he's definitely
15:44on the list.
15:45I just don't see him.
15:46Sarah he's got
15:47the best motive of anyone.
15:50There you go.
15:51Anything else?
15:52Yeah and a hot pot please.
15:53Oh sorry we've not
15:54got any left.
15:55Well we've got one
15:55technically but I'm
15:56saving that for Todd.
15:57How come?
15:58Well because
15:59he's going through
16:00a difficult time
16:00and he needs
16:01looking after.
16:02By giving him
16:03a hot pot?
16:04I'll have you know
16:05there is little
16:06more comforting
16:06than a Betty Turpin
16:07hot pot prepared
16:08by moi.
16:09Right if you say
16:10so sure.
16:11You could do
16:12with checking in
16:12on him and all.
16:13He needs his mates
16:14around him.
16:15Yeah well Todd's
16:16not as needy
16:16as he looks.
16:19Will you have
16:19to wear a kilt?
16:21Well I hope not.
16:22I thought you
16:23had to in Scotland.
16:24Not all the time
16:25sweetheart.
16:26Well I think
16:27you should get one.
16:29They're pretty cool.
16:30Well don't hold
16:31your breath.
16:32Look I should be
16:33leaving.
16:33My train's in the
16:34next hour.
16:36I can't wait to see you
16:36tomorrow.
16:39Bye Ben.
16:42Bye Susie.
16:43See you.
16:45Maggie.
16:47Thanks for your support.
16:49It's appreciated.
16:57Son we haven't forced
16:58you into this move
16:59have we?
16:59You don't have to
17:00stay forever.
17:02No.
17:02No I think you're
17:03right.
17:04I could do with a break.
17:06You know I'm just
17:07tired of everyone
17:08looking at me and all
17:09the kids at school
17:10taking the make.
17:12Listen if you want
17:13me to start
17:14anyone out
17:15to stay.
17:17I'm going to
17:18miss you so much.
17:24He's seriously on edge.
17:25It's no good for
17:2730.
17:27What are we going to do?
17:29I tried to persuade him
17:30to take a short trip
17:31somewhere but I
17:39go away for a few
17:40days.
17:41And I'm staying
17:42with you Grandad.
17:43That's the best news
17:44I've heard all day.

17:50Yeah.
17:54You're right.
17:55I need a break.
17:56I said the same
17:57thing.
17:58You were right too.
17:59Well done Adam.
17:59You really do need
18:00a break.
18:01Boys.
18:01Please.
18:03Where are you

18:04Uh B&B in the
18:06lakes.
18:08Not fit to be
18:09around Bertie at
18:09the minute.
18:10Keep frightening
18:11him.
18:12Sore for yourself.
18:13He'll be fine.
18:14We'll have a
18:14grand old time.
18:18OK.
18:19Right I'll
18:19go get this
18:20train.

18:23back of a
18:23greetings card?
18:24Stop taking
18:25everything out

18:26Sorry.

18:33few days.

18:34Bye Daniel.
18:35Sarah.
18:37Well.
18:38That's a
18:39positive
18:39development.
18:40Let's hope so.
18:44There you go.
18:45Hundred
18:45quid enough?
18:46Yeah that
18:46should be fine.
18:47Not like we

18:52I couldn't
18:53help but over here.
18:54He's going to
18:54stay with his
18:54ma.
18:57Is that
18:58wise?
18:58Do you not
18:58think he should
18:59stay around here?
19:00Isn't that
19:00Megan still
19:01being questioned?
19:02Ah they
19:02dropped the
19:02charges.
19:03No evidence.
19:04Oh aye.
19:05So do you
19:06think they
19:06had a
19:06relationship?
19:07I don't
19:07want to
19:07talk about
19:08it Sean
19:08it makes
19:08me angry.
19:09Ah fair
19:10enough.
19:11Listen I've
19:11got a
19:11teenage lad
19:12myself.
19:13If you
19:13want my
19:13advice.
19:14Well no
19:14I don't
19:14want your
19:14advice.
19:15Didn't
19:15your lad
19:16end up
19:16in
19:16GV?
19:17Yeah but
19:18So your
19:19parenting skills
19:19leave a lot
19:20to be desired
19:20don't they?
20:18So, let's go.
20:25I don't know.
20:53What's going on?
20:55Was it you who called Theo?
20:56I need to know.
20:57I just did what we agreed.
20:59We agreed that you would scare him off.
21:01That was all.
21:01Yeah, and that's what I did.
21:02I smashed up his van.
21:03I didn't even see him.
21:04I get the feeling that you're lying.
21:06Or maybe you're the one that's lying.
21:10Maybe he wanted me to scare him off to put myself in the frame.
21:13That's ridiculous.
21:13Is it?
21:14Why would I be here asking if you'd done it?
21:16Because you think there's CCTV getting all this on tape.
21:18Don't be stupid.
21:21I don't think we should be speaking to each other right now.
21:25Fair enough.
21:51Next, it's a celebrity special at Beat the Chasers.
