00:00Who's that?
00:14Just Chas. Asking how I am.
00:15Is there no Sam and Lydia? I think they're making plans. I heard Sam on the phone last
00:20night.
00:21Plans for me?
00:22I guess. I just think everyone's really worried about you.
00:29Please just tell me what's happening.
00:32I just mentioned that I could hear you on the phone last night.
00:36I called our mystic. And he remembers you from when you were a nippy. And he's happy
00:42to do what's usual.
00:43What, so you want me to run off to Ireland to Mystic Dingles?
00:46We don't want you to.
00:48You have to. As soon as Tom gives his statement to police, they're going to be round here.
00:54It's the only way we can protect you.
01:04I've been texting you.
01:05Well, I left my phone here.
01:10Great. Really useful.
01:12OK, I'm sorry I sneaked out. I just wanted to check the sheep made it through their first
01:18night.
01:19Moira, you need to be with someone at all times. That's what we discussed yesterday.
01:24Hi. Sorry, should I knock? I'm never sure of the family protocol.
01:29Ruby, you are desperate.
01:31I thought we were friends.
01:33I never asked her to come.
01:34Oh, so I need an invite now. I thought we were past that stage.
01:38But since you're here, can you stay a while while I go and do some deliveries?
01:43To babysit, just to clarify. Stick me in front of the telly while you drink coffee and eat
01:47biscuits.
01:48As long as you don't start waving a shotgun around, I'm sold.
01:50Well, there's your excuse to say no right there.
01:53I am offering, woman, your friendly neighbourhood sister-in-law.
01:56God, having a brain tumour hasn't made you any less hard work, has it?
02:01Are you still here?
02:06Right. How vile is this coffee?
02:10How's Tom doing?
02:12My chest drain's still in and he's on medication for the pain, but OK, according to the nurses
02:17when we're phoned.
02:18Well, that's amazing. Send in my best when you see him.
02:21We will.
02:23Oh, and I wanted to have a word about Laurel.
02:27That news about her stepping back from the parish council, it took me by surprise if I'm honest.
02:32Really? I thought you dismissed most of her ideas because you're scared of your mum.
02:37No. Did Laurel tell you that?
02:40Hardly a state secret.
02:42Did she give you any more explanation? That's all I'm asking.
02:45She said she was too busy. Isn't that good enough of a reason?
02:49Unless your council business is blurring into some kind of extracurricular activity.
02:57I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
03:00Well, you're a vicar and they can't lie.
03:13Therese.
03:16They're expecting you tomorrow.
03:19I can't go that soon.
03:20Well, we're getting there tomorrow. We're leaving tonight.
03:23So, we've not even got a full day.
03:25You best get packing. Lydia will help you when she's got Mr Kee's parking.
03:30I need to go out, actually.
03:31Aye, that's not in the plan.
03:33Yeah, just to Mandy's. I'm going to borrow a suitcase. I won't be long.
03:36I'll come with you.
03:37No, no, you need to work on the van. Make sure it doesn't break down. I'm not going to be long.
03:41OK. Pre-flight checks it is, then.
03:44Thank you, both of you, for everything.
03:53Sorry, didn't know he was staying over.
03:56That's because it's none of your business.
03:58What's up with you?
04:00Nothing.
04:01But, no, Matty's supposed to be looking after Moira,
04:05but clearly he missed something in the assignment because she has gone ahead and bought a random flock of sheep because Isaac misses Minty.
04:13That's exciting.
04:14Well, I can swap your sheep for a load of smart watches.
04:17What?
04:18Swirling's onto me.
04:20I got caught speeding where I got them from and now I can't use my car, but you could lend me one.
04:25Maybe your boyfriend might have one.
04:29In fact, do you know what he does? He's got a cute wee van you could use.
04:31Oh, yeah, he's going to love me dealing in stolen goods, isn't he?
04:34Who says you need to tell him?
04:39Hey, where did all these domestic skills come from?
04:41Because I swear I have never seen you cook, apart from your dinner party and the less said about that.
04:47I used to help my mum.
04:50She put on these parties for her golf club mates.
04:55I was in charge of carving the tomatoes into flowers,
05:00boiling the melon.
05:06You miss her?
05:11I miss the melon baller.
05:15Never been able to find one quite the same.
05:18Peppers.
05:22I've set a date for her cremation, though, so that's all good.
05:25Oh, Caleb never mentioned it.
05:28Enough about that.
05:30Tell me about this brain tumour.
05:32Really?
05:33Yep, I live for dingle ailments.
05:36I have nailed the brachygene. Now I want her meningioma.
05:40So?
05:42Is Tom OK?
05:44He's going to be fine. I was just telling Charles.
05:47Charles?
05:49Good of him to ask, seeing as how he seemed majorly distracted.
05:52Oh?
05:53Yeah, him and Mum probably have got back together.
05:55Ha! Gotcha! I saw that good little face.
05:58No, you didn't.
05:59You've got the hearts for the vicar.
06:01Oh, shut up. Don't be ridiculous.
06:03What's ridiculous is you haven't told me.
06:06I had to work out from Charles' pathetic attempts to be subtle.
06:09So what, him and Manpreet back together then?
06:11No, that was my cunning trap, which you totally fell for.
06:14I really hate you sometimes, Nicola.
06:16So, details, and don't try and fob me off because I'm in desperate need of light relief.
06:20There is nothing to tell.
06:21Pathetic, zero out of ten.
06:23OK, whatever there was...
06:25Which you're going to elaborate?
06:27It's over now, OK? It's a mistake.
06:29So, we're talking mistake territory. This is probably juicy.
06:33I slept with him. There you go. I said it.
06:36Laurel? Thomas?
06:39You raunchy little saucemonger.
06:41You look really shocked. Are you shocked?
06:43I mean, is it awful?
06:44Only if he threw you on the altar.
06:46No, he did it in the bedroom, but I can't remember much,
06:48so don't ask me to describe it!
06:50One question.
06:52You're single, he's single. Why is it over?
06:58I have finished my patient list.
07:02And you texted there's a problem?
07:04Oh, it's just with my car.
07:06The gearbox is seizing up, so I need to have a look at it.
07:10Thanks for sharing.
07:12I've got a job on tomorrow, so...
07:14I wondered if I could maybe borrow your van.
07:17You drive my van?
07:19Yeah. I'll pay for the fuel, obviously.
07:22No.
07:24What?
07:26Well, it's van to you, home to me.
07:28Sorry, it's just a...
07:30Sorry, it's just a rule I've got.
07:32Don't worry, it's fine.
07:36Did you eat the leftover pizza?
07:39She only want me for my crusts.
07:41Flattered.
07:43It's been in the fridge.
07:47Grab us a few beers while you're there.
08:00I'm sorry about being snarky when you got here.
08:03Just, I really thought Mackenzie was ambushing me.
08:05It wasn't a set-up, I promise.
08:07Well, we should definitely do this again.
08:10The sheep have escaped. They're all over the place.
08:12Where are the quad bike keys?
08:14Behind the door, as always. Escaped how?
08:16Well, through the gate.
08:18Unless they've learnt to fly.
08:20What, me?
08:22Well, you were the last person who was up there.
08:30One minute to spare.
08:32Living dangerously, Belle.
08:34What do you want?
08:36A cup of tea, and then a wash.
08:38Because I keep finding these clumps of dried blood in my...
08:40You told me that I had to come.
08:42Did I?
08:44Oh, yeah.
08:46I phoned you.
08:48I'm sorry.
08:50I'm sorry.
08:52I'm sorry.
08:54I'm sorry.
08:56I'm sorry.
08:58I phoned you.
09:03It's time to make a deal.
09:20What sort of deal?
09:22Why haven't you told the police what's happened yet?
09:24How do you know I haven't already?
09:28Oh.
09:30Oh.
09:36You've not done a statement, or else I'd know about it.
09:38I didn't say I had, Belle.
09:40You're not listening again.
09:44When I do,
09:46when
09:48I tell the police that my memory's crystal clear,
09:50I'm gonna relive
09:52the whole trauma.
09:54Amelia's already told them that it was you.
09:58You locked me in.
10:00You beat me.
10:02You stuck an axe in my back.
10:06You were gonna kill me.
10:10And here you go again.
10:12Round and round, the same old loop.
10:14No.
10:18Here's the thing, Belle.
10:20I'm not actually gonna tell the police
10:22that it was you who attacked me
10:24in your most psychotic act yet.
10:28If you drop
10:30your ludicrous, unsubstantiated
10:32allegations.
10:36What?
10:38Stop lying that I'm an abuser
10:40and you're in the clear.
10:48Well?
10:50Yeah, they're sorted.
10:52Well, at least they got a good run.
10:54Do sheep need that, like dogs?
10:57No, no.
10:59My bad.
11:01Thank you so much.
11:03But could you go now?
11:07Ruby, thanks for lunch and everything
11:09and for staying.
11:16Be kind.
11:18Bye.
11:26You still blaming me?
11:30Maria, the gate was wide open.
11:32I'd never do that.
11:34I'd go through the gate and I'd close it behind me.
11:36It's second nature.
11:38It used to be second nature.
11:40It's tough to face, but you've got your limitations now.
11:42You can't do the stuff that you did before.
11:44And the sooner that you realise that.
11:47Properly realise.
11:49Stop fighting me and everything, Moira.
11:51Not going out on your own.
11:53And absolutely not trying to work without
11:55me or Matty present.
11:57I was just checking the sheep.
11:59Moira, they could have got out onto the road.
12:01They could have caused an accident and killed someone.
12:03Alright, alright, I'm sorry.
12:05I'm not trying to make this harder for you.
12:07This is helping me too.
12:09I know, I know.
12:13But I will try.
12:15And I'll stay inside.
12:17And I'll be good.
12:21I understand what you're doing for me.
12:35I wasn't going to come.
12:37I thought we were both adults.
12:39Your emergency biscuit supplies are woeful and we definitely need biscuits.
12:41Nicola, Charles is just...
12:43Yeah, um...
12:45Your resignation from the parish council.
12:47I need a letter for the files.
12:49Yeah, I'll drop it off later.
12:51Oh, I can wait.
12:57Right, I've just remembered I need to relieve Jimmy
12:59so he can get to the hospital.
13:01Enjoy your loose ends.
13:09I'm sorry, I didn't want you to hear from Rodney
13:12that I was leaving. That was just me being cowardly.
13:16Can't you change your mind?
13:18You being a part of the church
13:20is way bigger and much more important than...
13:22Yeah, I know I'm letting people down.
13:24I feel really guilty about that.
13:26We said we'd forget about it. We agreed to that.
13:28Yeah, but that's easier said than done.
13:30I mean, I work alongside you and you set me off.
13:32You bring out this side in me.
13:34I like that side.
13:38It's pretty irresistible.
13:40I've resigned!
13:42Laurel!
13:44No, this is a weird reaction to us both being single.
13:46It's total madness.
13:48And I feel really awkward with Manpreet.
13:50What if Jay finds out?
13:52There's a million reasons why it's a bad idea, but...
13:54Yeah, which is why I'm stepping away.
13:56I'm being responsible.
13:58So who do I make the letter out to?
14:02Me.
14:04I'll do.
14:06And you're right.
14:09We're responsible, respectable.
14:11Not rampant teens
14:13who jump into bed with who we like
14:15and blow the consequences off.
14:17Where are the pens? I can never find any pens.
14:19Dotty hoards them all.
14:21So it's for the best. I get it.
14:27But the door's always open.
14:33To the parish council, I mean.
14:35Yes. Yeah, right.
14:37We'll drop this off later at the church and, um...
14:39And the pen.
14:55Well?
14:57I've said I need to think.
14:59Because it's a lie, Tom.
15:03Yes, I attacked you, but...
15:05It was self-defence,
15:07and that's all I need to tell the police.
15:09Self-defence?
15:11The axe was in my back.
15:13How does that work?
15:15And just look at your history.
15:17One murder conviction already.
15:19Gemma was manslaughter.
15:25You've been sectioned.
15:27How many times?
15:31You've relapsed when you're stressed.
15:34You forget to take your meds.
15:36You hear voices.
15:38I can manage my mental health.
15:40I've got it under control.
15:42It's been the bane of our entire marriage, Belle.
15:44Your family are well aware of how I've struggled.
15:46No, that's what you told them.
15:48They know that that's not true.
15:50They'd be caught as witnesses,
15:52my witnesses, to court, Belle, not yours.
15:54And then we've also got Marlon,
15:56Rona and Vanessa
15:58all taking the stand
16:00to describe how you viciously assaulted me
16:02Are you sure you're ready for that?
16:04Or we do as I suggest.
16:08I want you to be happy, Belle.
16:12Go and get some treatment
16:14and you could have a whole future ahead of you.
16:18It makes sense.
16:20It'll be the last thing I ever ask of you.
16:28Okay.
16:32I'll do what you want.
16:40To seal the deal?
17:02Just doing the feed order.
17:04Trying to be useful.
17:06You are useful.
17:08I'm sorry for knocking your confidence earlier.
17:10Just being honest.
17:16Hey, you.
17:18Did you thank Vanessa for dropping you off?
17:20Yeah.
17:22Good man.
17:24Well, don't you want to go and see a sheep?
17:26Are they okay?
17:28Of course.
17:31Of course? Why wouldn't they be?
17:35Isaac? What?
17:37I think I left the gate open.
17:41I went to the field
17:43before school
17:45and then Matty was calling me
17:47so I forgot to close it.
17:49I'm sorry, Mum.
17:51It's okay. Come here.
17:53You did the right thing telling me.
17:55It's very brave.
17:57Alright, go upstairs and get changed quickly.
17:59There you go.
18:01Good man.
18:07Moira, I'm sorry.
18:09It wasn't me. I told you it wasn't me.
18:13I was right.
18:19Oh.
18:21Jimmy.
18:23I called DS4. I told him that
18:25my memory's a lot clearer now and I'm ready to talk properly.
18:27We've just arrived, Mr. King.
18:29We'll take things nice and slowly.
18:37So, um,
18:39in your own words, just tell me
18:41what you can remember about the alleged attack.
18:43Okay.
18:45Um...
18:47I was walking
18:49leaving the village
18:51and then these two men just...
18:53just appeared.
18:56They were trying to rob me.
18:58They were asking for my money.
19:00What men? Did you recognise them?
19:02Mr. King.
19:04I'd never seen them before.
19:06One was in his thirties.
19:08He had...
19:10He had a tattoo
19:12on his neck and
19:14a Leeds accent.
19:16And the other?
19:18Forties.
19:20He was thin
19:22and he had these really dark eyes
19:24just staring back at me.
19:26They were right up in my face.
19:28I couldn't get past them so I told them to get back.
19:30I shouted.
19:32I was so scared.
19:34And then
19:36the older one, he opened up his jacket
19:38and
19:40there was this axe.
19:42The axe.
19:44Oh, God.
19:46I ran
19:48but they grabbed me. I broke free
19:51and then there was this pain.
19:53This...
19:55This red hot agony
19:57just spreading
19:59across my shoulders.
20:01This is horrific. He needs a rest.
20:03Have you got enough to go on?
20:05For now.
20:07If you can think of any more details
20:09however small, I'll call you.
20:11I don't want anyone else
20:13to go through what I have.
20:17I...
20:19I thought it was Belle.
20:21She might not be her best self right now
20:23but
20:25to put an axe in my back.
20:27Jimmy.
20:33Alright, miss.
20:35Are you waiting for someone?
20:47What's this?
20:49Evidence.
20:59I've attacked my husband
21:01in self-defence.
21:03He wanted to kill me.
21:07I'm a victim of domestic violence.
21:09I'm a victim of domestic violence.
21:11I'm a victim of domestic violence.
21:13I'm a victim of domestic violence.
21:15I'm a victim of domestic abuse.
