TVTranscript
00:01I'm not sleeping. It's getting worse when your brain turns against you. It's a very frightening thing. She's been sleepwalking
00:07I didn't know she'd put these cameras up around the house. She's doing everything
00:11I need to know did you kill her? Will you just listen to yourself?
00:15You're not sleeping M. This is your mom's prescription. It's basically speed. My teenage fucking daughter. Rob, listen
00:22Just look at your life M. You've got Robert. You've got the kids
00:27I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Patricia Burnett
00:30I
00:32Have you consumed any alcohol or drugs in the past 24 hours?
01:02Yes
01:04Both
01:06And what have you had? When did you have it and how much?
01:08Amphetamines
01:10Last night
01:12I'm not sure how much
01:32Chloe's not answering. I've called Faisal. He's the criminal law guy at Emma's firm. I'm sure Emma's going to call him but I don't know what to do
02:02I don't know when she's going to get a chance to. I can't believe this is happening. Yes, we're like, okay.
02:14He's calmed down a bit
02:18What if she's charged?
02:20The kids, how are they going to take it? I mean, what do I, what am I supposed to say to them?
02:26What happens if she goes to prison?
02:29All right, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's wait and see what Faisal's got to say, yeah?
02:33I just, I can't, I can't do all this by myself
02:38Here's what we'll do. Will said something about football practice. I think you should take him, get out of the house, get some fresh air, be good for both of you
02:48I'll head back to mine, grab my things and I'll stay as long as you need
02:59Come here, come here, it's going to be all right
03:08Thanks Phoebe
03:12You're not doing it on your own, Rob
03:28Come on
03:58You're not doing it on your own
04:28I'll be back soon
04:59Come and see the tacos
05:01Come on
05:20Come and see the tacos
05:22Come on
05:29Come and see the tacos
05:31Come and see the tacos
05:33Come and see the tacos
05:36Emma!
05:57Emma!
05:59Emma!
06:06Emma!
06:25What's happening? Has she been released?
06:27We haven't been able to interview your wife yet
06:29But we do need to ask you some questions
06:36What did you fight about yesterday?
06:38What?
06:40When we arrived this morning, Emma was attempting to forcibly enter the home, was she not?
06:44It doesn't take a detective to figure out she hadn't been home all night
06:47Does that happen often?
06:49That you argue so badly that one of you has to stay out all night?
06:52Why weren't you letting her in?
06:54Were you worried for your physical safety?
06:56Why do you bother asking questions if you're not going to get me an answer?
07:00We had a disagreement that wasn't relevant to this
07:06It was about our teenage daughter
07:09And we both got angry
07:13Do we fight?
07:15No
07:17Is this unusual?
07:19Yeah
07:21But then we're having a bit of an unusual week, aren't we?
07:24Has Emma exhibited any other behaviour during the last week or so
07:28that you would deem concerning or unusual?
07:35No, nothing
07:39Is there anything else?
07:41Yeah, there was one more thing actually
07:43Where was your wife yesterday evening?
07:45If she wasn't here
07:47She's staying at her sister's
07:49I don't know where she is
07:52She's staying at her sister's
07:54No, no she wasn't
07:58Do you have any idea who she might have been with?
08:01No
08:03She's a very busy woman
08:05And I'm not her secretary
08:10Thank you
08:22Thank you
08:24Thanks for coming
08:26Are they treating you okay?
08:28Yeah, I just need to get out of here
08:30Okay, one step at a time
08:34Is Will and Chloe okay?
08:36I spoke to Robert, they're fine
08:38What the fuck, Em?
08:41It's one huge mistake
08:43Okay, well, they've arrested you
08:45Because they found familial DNA underneath your mother's fingernails
08:48Can you think of any reason
08:51Why that might be yours?
08:56Come on mate, you know how this works
08:58I can't help you if you don't talk to me, yeah?
09:04Yeah, Em
09:13I went to the hospital
09:15The moment she died
09:17When I was in the room, she grabbed my arm
09:20She wouldn't let go, I pulled away, she scratched my arm
09:22That's it
09:24And you didn't tell the police this when they came to the house?
09:28No, I know how that sounds
09:30So you lied to the police?
09:34I lost the thing
09:38What about the amphetamines?
09:40How long have you been taking those?
09:42No, that's not a thing
09:44It was a one-off
09:46Well, it doesn't look good, mate
09:50Stupid
10:01I suppose it is a novel way to celebrate your four year
10:05Have they brought Phoebe in yet?
10:07I'll find out
10:11Right now, our focus is getting you through this interview
10:13And clearing you as a suspect, yeah?
10:17Yeah
10:19Hey
10:50What?
10:54I thought I was dreaming for a minute
10:59Nope
11:01I'm here
11:03So I see
11:17I should check my phone
11:20Yeah
11:36Oh, fuck
11:38What is it?
11:40It's Michelle, it's...
11:42She sent a voice note
11:44No, look, she can be nasty when she's angry
11:46No, don't, listen, don't press play
11:48I'm not angry with you, Chloe
11:50I want you to know that
11:54I'm so disappointed
11:58Do you remember your 14th birthday?
12:02And you said I was like an aunt to you
12:06I don't know how that girl could do this to me
12:10I don't know you at all
12:14See, I've got a little boy upstairs crying for his daddy
12:17I've got to tell him that he's not coming back
12:27Everything I thought was so safe
12:33How could you both be so selfish?
12:47Do you think you'd have left her?
13:05No
13:07It was always going to be difficult
13:09Chloe, but
13:11We've done it now
13:14In my head
13:18God, it sounds so stupid now
13:20But in my head I convinced myself
13:22That it didn't matter and she wouldn't care
13:24Because she didn't love you
13:26Not really, but
13:28She does
13:30And it's awful
13:34I need
13:36I need some time to think
13:38Chloe
13:40Chloe, please
13:43Chloe
13:59Chloe
14:01Dad, where are you?
14:03I'm at home, why?
14:05Can you come pick me up?
14:07Of course I can
14:10Hey, Bear
14:12Football
14:22Hey, buddy, you alright?
14:28Why did the police take Mummy?
14:32Oh, um
14:34Oh, they just wanted to talk to her, that's all
14:36What about?
14:39What do you need to think about?
14:43I dreamed about the bad lady again
14:45Oh, well, hey
14:47Mummy
14:49Is not a bad lady, okay
14:51She's just
14:53She just doesn't feel like herself at the moment
14:55That's all
14:59I want Mummy back
15:01Like she was
15:05I know
15:08I know you do
15:14Let's go play some football
15:18So Patricia regained consciousness
15:20For the one and only time during her hospital stay
15:22In the few moments you were in her room
15:26Why didn't you tell us this before?
15:28I've been having some
15:30Trouble sleeping recently
15:32That
15:34Just
15:37Yeah, yeah, we
15:39We saw your prescription for sleeping pills
15:41Surely your mother waking up
15:43Even briefly
15:45Is something you'd want to make sure the police knew
15:47But you didn't tell us?
15:49No, I didn't
15:51Because you didn't want anyone to know
15:53That you'd been in the room
15:55That your mother had
15:57Clawed at you while you suffocated her
15:59I didn't suffocate her
16:01I didn't do anything to her
16:04And that's your version of events
16:06That's what happened
16:08Right
16:10So
16:12This is what I think happened
16:14After decades
16:16Of repressing the trauma
16:18Inflicted upon you and your sister by your mother
16:20Her reappearance
16:22In your life reignited something in you
16:24You go to see her
16:26On impulse
16:28Missing an appointment with an important client
16:30And leaving the office to do so
16:32You leave her in her hospital room
16:34A lifetime of rage surfaces
16:36And you do to her what she tried to do to your sister
16:3835 years ago
16:40You suffocate her
16:42She grabs at you so hard she breaks skin
16:44But you overpower her
16:46Within moments she's dead
16:48That isn't what happened
16:50We have you at the scene of the crime
16:52With DNA evidence
16:54Indicating a physical struggle
16:56And you deliberately omitted key information
16:58During your initial statement in your home
17:00Perhaps this is the time
17:02For you to tell us the truth
17:04Did you kill your mother Emma?
17:06No I didn't
17:08How many times do I need to tell you
17:10I didn't kill her
17:12Have you looked into Phoebe?
17:14Because I have
17:16Yesterday I visited the psychiatric unit
17:18Where they told me that she was hitting her
17:20I haven't seen my mother for 35 years
17:22Why would I kill her?
17:24Phoebe Burnett is not a person of interest
17:26In this investigation
17:28Why not?
17:30She was the last person in the room with her
17:32Do you have any evidence that my client touched the pillow?
17:34Yeah as we make clear in disclosure
17:36The results are inconclusive
17:38So you can't link her to the murder weapon itself
17:42And the DNA evidence that you do have
17:44Supports her version of events
17:46Her mother grabbed her arm
17:48One arm
17:50Surely she's struggling for her life
17:52She's conscious enough to grab one arm
17:54She would grab the other
17:56My client would have been bruised
17:58And scratched on both arms
18:00Everything else you've got is circumstantial
18:04Emma Avril is a well respected member of the legal community
18:06She's never had so much as a parking ticket
18:08She's happily married
18:10She has two beautiful children
18:12She would not risk all of that to murder a woman
18:14She's considered dead for the past 35 years
18:16And who in all likelihood
18:18Was dying already
18:26Is that it?
18:28I doubt it
18:30The CPS think there's insufficient evidence to charge you for now
18:32Which is good
18:34But you're not out of the woods
18:36Can you give me a lift to the car please?
18:38Yeah sure
18:42Look Phoebe sent me some videos of you sleepwalking
18:44What?
18:46Why would she do that?
18:48This is my point!
18:50I know but listen it could be useful
18:52Something like that if this gets serious
18:54That can help us build a defence
18:56What kind of defence?
18:58Fucking insanity that I'm as mad as my mother
19:00No no
19:02Emma I'm on your team yeah don't forget
19:04Fucking Phoebe she's driving me crazy
19:06You really think she did this?
19:08Yes I do think she did it
19:10Because she was in the room
19:12She was the last person alone with my mother the day she died
19:14And I don't trust her I never have
19:16We've never been close
19:18It would really help if you could tell me why
19:24Hello?
19:34Hello?
19:36Anyone home?
19:54Hello?
20:24Come and see the top boat
20:54Fucking hell
21:24Hello?
21:54They're going to let her go right?
22:00Er hopefully
22:02Chloe hopefully
22:08And I thought I was the drama in the family for the week
22:10Yeah I'm not ready to find that funny yet
22:16Sorry
22:18Okay
22:20I think I'm going to come home for a bit
22:22Really?
22:24Yeah but it's not over I just
22:26Need some time to think about some things
22:30Okay
22:36Why is being an adult so hard?
22:38I think it's
22:40Payback for the joy of being a kid
22:42Speaking of which
22:44Hello Will
22:46You alright?
22:48Give me your bag
22:50Thank you
23:20Hello?
23:50Hello?
24:08Come on
24:10I'll make it in in time
24:20Come on
24:42Come on
24:44Emma
24:46Wait for me
25:06It should be here
25:08Where are they?
25:14Where are they?
25:16Where are they?
25:18Where are they?
25:20Where are they?
25:22Where are they?
25:24Where are they?
25:26Where are they?
25:28Where are they?
25:30Where are they?
25:32Where are they?
25:34Where are they?
25:36Where are they?
25:38Where are they?
25:40Where are they?
25:43Where are they?
25:50Where are they?
25:56Steven get away from her
26:12We've not read this for a while.
26:39You don't have to read.
26:40I don't mind.
26:46Serena, looking from the window, thought that the miracle of spring, they're all the same.
27:09How about lost laughter?
27:16You'd laugh more if I wasn't here.
27:18Mum, the new meds will make you feel better soon.
27:29Hiya, are you Jo Mitchell?
27:40Who wants to know?
27:41I'm Phoebe, Emma's sister.
27:42Do you mind if I come in?
27:43I'm actually just in the middle of something.
27:44Was Emma with you last night?
27:45Yeah, yeah, she was helping me fill out some forms.
27:46It was fun, yeah.
27:47It was a great night.
27:48It's her birthday, isn't it?
27:49Yeah.
27:50How did she seem to you?
27:51Emma?
27:52Yeah.
27:53Yeah.
27:54Yeah.
27:55Yeah.
27:56Yeah.
27:57Yeah.
27:58Yeah.
27:59Yeah.
28:00Yeah.
28:01Yeah.
28:02Yeah.
28:03Yeah.
28:04Yeah.
28:05Yeah.
28:06Yeah.
28:07Yeah.
28:08Yeah.
28:09Yeah.
28:10Yeah.
28:11Yeah.
28:12Yeah.
28:13Yeah.
28:14Yeah.
28:15Yeah.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Do you have a moment?
28:18Yeah, sure.
28:19Just, they've got your address on them.
28:20Do you want to come in for a minute?
28:21Yeah, for a minute.
28:22Thanks.
28:23So, what did you two get up to last night?
28:30We, um...
28:31We had a few lines, but it was... it was no big deal.
28:36It is to Emma, actually.
28:39She's really fragile at the minute.
28:42Look, I'm not judging.
28:44I'll be the last one to talk, trust me.
28:48She's just not been herself recently.
28:50Given that she was high,
28:52did she mention anything to you about our mum?
28:55Look, I know that's a weird question,
28:57but I really need to know. It's important.
28:59I'm trying to get to the truth of something.
29:02Well, you know what it's like when you get on it.
29:04Verbal diarrhoea, so I'm just wondering...
29:06Look, it was...
29:08It was the night before her birthday.
29:10We had some fun, but...
29:13as for your family dramas...
29:17I'm just Emma's friend.
29:19It's got nothing to do with me. I'm sorry.
29:22Yeah. Sure. OK.
29:33Are you sure we haven't met?
29:35It's just you're really familiar to me.
29:37Have I seen you with a husband before?
29:39No, I don't think so.
29:41Right.
29:43Oh, so, listen, I'm sorry to bother you, dear.
29:47Em?
29:48I remember now why I never trusted you.
29:51You tried to drown me.
29:53Drown you? What are you talking about?
29:56Where are you?
29:57St Agnes.
29:59Just stay there. I'm coming to find you.
30:02Shit.
30:17Shit.
30:47Shit.
31:17Phoebe!
31:26Phoebe! Phoebe!
31:29Oh, my God!
31:31Oh, my God! Fuck!
31:33Oh, my God!
31:39Ambulance, please. Yes, an emergency.
31:42My sister's been hit by a car.
31:44St Agnes Children's Home. Please hurry up, please.
31:47Phoebe. Stay there. Stay. Stay with me.
31:53That's all for now. Thank you.
31:55I'll give you some space. Thanks.
31:59Mum.
32:01Are you OK? Yeah.
32:05Is Phoebe OK?
32:07She's in the best place.
32:09She'll be OK.
32:14Where's Will?
32:16He's at Finley's.
32:20Shall I go get you a cup of coffee or something?
32:23Yeah, that'd be nice.
32:25I think there's, um...
32:27There's a cafeteria downstairs, right?
32:29Have you got money? No.
32:31Can you get me a cup of tea? Yes.
32:36So what did the doctor say?
32:39It's too early to say.
32:47Christ, Em.
32:56They've let you go?
32:58Yeah. Not enough evidence.
33:01Right.
33:04Right.
33:13Ten days ago,
33:15we were fine.
33:17I mean, we were...
33:19We were happy.
33:23How could everything change so fast?
33:34Where's your car?
33:37What?
33:40Have the police opened and pounded it?
33:45What, you think I run Phoebe over?
33:49I don't know.
33:51I mean, I don't... I don't know.
33:53I don't... I just... I mean...
33:57I found her by the roadside. It was a hit and run.
33:59How can you think that?
34:02How can I not think that?
34:04Come on, Em.
34:06This morning, you were screaming,
34:08blew murder at her,
34:10and now she's in hospital and you were the only one
34:12that was there when she was hit.
34:14And the stuff with your mum.
34:20Tell me, Em.
34:24What would you think
34:26if you were in my place?
34:31Hey.
34:40Hey. Sorry, they spilled a bit.
34:44Are we allowed to visit her, Aunty Phoebe?
34:47No. She's in surgery.
34:49She'll be there a while.
34:51We need to go and get Will anyway.
34:53OK. All right.
34:56I've got my phone on me.
34:58Text me if there's any updates, all right?
35:00OK.
35:04I love you.
35:06I love you.
35:09Bye.
35:30I love you.
35:38I love you.
35:40I love you.
36:01I love you.
36:03I love you.
36:31OK.
36:33So, the first round of surgery has gone well.
36:37Thank God.
36:40Is she going to be OK?
36:42She's not in the clear yet,
36:44but we're more hopeful than we were when she came in.
36:46We've stopped the internal bleeding
36:48and alleviated the pressure on her brain,
36:50but we won't know the extent of any damage
36:52until she wakes up.
36:54Come on.
36:56Come on.
36:58Until she wakes up.
37:00Can I go and sit with her?
37:02It might help her to hear your voice,
37:04although she's unlikely to wake up for a few hours.
37:06And we've given her a DNC.
37:08Her doctor probably thought it was unnecessary,
37:10but given her weakened state,
37:12we don't want to risk any kind of infection.
37:15I don't understand.
37:17The miscarriage.
37:22I'm sorry.
37:24I presumed you knew.
37:26Your sister has recently lost a pregnancy,
37:29at some point in the last couple of days.
37:31Oh, my God.
37:56Come on.
38:26It's OK.
38:57I'm so sorry about your baby, Phoebe.
39:03I wish you'd have come to me.
39:07I'd have been there for you,
39:09but you were there for me.
39:15Like...
39:17..the time when they took us to the children's home
39:19and we were sat in the back of that police car
39:22and you held my hand so tight
39:25like you were never going to let go.
39:34I'm never going to let go.
39:36I promise.
39:43You've got to get better, Phoebe.
39:47Oh, I got to one of them
39:50bloody retreats with you.
39:53You can teach me yoga.
39:57I can't touch my toes, though.

40:39Phoebe.
40:46I'm nearly alive.
40:53Phoebe.
41:04I'm so sorry about everything.
41:11I didn't try to drown you, Em.
41:14It wasn't me.
41:17They thought it was me...
41:21..because they thought I was damaged.
41:25They did, because of what you did.
41:31With the numbers, do you remember?
41:34Me?
41:37You wrote them all over the wall of our dorm.
41:41You wrote them all over the wall of our dorm.

42:20They're coming.
42:31Phoebe, what have you done?
42:35You're coming with me.
42:38And I told them it was me...
42:40..because I didn't want you to get into trouble.
42:47Because they're like you.
42:55I didn't push you in.
42:58Em, I pulled you out.
43:06Emma? Emma?
43:13Phoebe, get away from her!
43:17Are you OK? She's OK.
43:24Come with me, girl.
43:26Phoebe? Phoebe?
43:29I'm remembering things all wrong.
43:36Maybe it was me.
43:41Maybe I killed Mum.
43:44I just don't remember it.
43:51And...
43:53..do you remember the frog?
43:55The little girl?
43:59I saw the frog.
44:02I saw the frog.
44:06And...
44:08..it was so strange.

45:22Hi, can I help?
45:24It's supposed to go in there.
