Sally, she was attacked last night.

Anything else you can think of?

Anyone who might have reason?

There's this fella. Michael McAllister.

I found your phone outside her house.

It was on my way home,

so I thought I'd take a look.

Did you see anyone else there?

No.

SALLY PANTING

Do you know where you are, Sally?

So she'll be able to say who attacked her?

TEARFULLY: My dad killed someone.

I mean, what if I'm like him?

Andrew...

HE SIGHS DEEPLY

See? There's nothing to worry about.

Where were you?

It's after 3am!

I was at Jamie's and... No!

I was at Jamie's and you weren't there.

We were messing around and lost track of the time.

Sorry.

Don't wa...don't walk away when your mother's talking to you.

Why?

What are you going to do about it? HUSHED: Hey...

Get off. Come here. Get off!

I'm going to bed, OK?

Anything could have happened, we were worried sick!

I can look after myself!

Great example you are.

HE SIGHS

John's going to read me the riot act.

Once he hears the full story, he'll understand.

No, he won't.

You know how it is with safeguarding,

it's all about the kids.

The likes of us get...

..put up against the wall and get shot.

Not going to be that bad.

If anybody says anything, just get the union rep on it.

Come on, are you finished?

What?

I want to put the dishwasher on before I go to work.

Well, I'm not finished.

Well, could you finish?

I'm a big boy, I can load it myself.

Really? There's a first time for everything.

Why don't you just...

CHUCKLING: You know, this is how serial killers get started.

SHE TURNS ON TV WOMAN: ..opposition of the proposal

What's he saying?

He's not saying anything.

But he's been charged? No, not yet.

What's the problem then? You said there was footage of him there.

Yes, there is.

So what is it then?!

Look, I'm not part of that murder investigation team, but...

..it's been 24 hours.

I'm hearing there's not enough evidence

to charge him or keep him in custody.

If they don't find anything, they'll have to release him in the morning.

He did this.

I know he did this!

It's not about what you know.

It's what we can prove.

Well, then find proof!

HE SCOFFS

Daddy doesn't want me near the place?

Well, not till everything dies down.

Great.

Michael...

Don't walk away from me, you have to talk to me.

Why did you go to that hospital?

Michael!

They stormed in here and they dragged you out in handcuffs!

You have to talk to me. Why were you at the hospital?

Michael?

Why would you go see a woman you claim you don't know?

Fucking... You claim you've never met her.

I haven't! And her knickers miraculously turn up in our house!

Do you want to know why I went to the hospital?

Yes.

Because I wanted to ask her if...it was Andrew who attacked her.

And if the answer was yes...

..I wanted to ask her not to ruin his life.

I was trying to protect him.

I think something's really wrong with our boy.

And you must have thought it...

Did you tell them about Andrew?

No, of course I didn't.

Right. Shall we get your coat on?

Don't know why you have your knickers in a twist.

I shouted down that I was going to the shop. Well, I didn't hear you.

Well, that's not my fault!

Aw, here we go.

This isn't a good time for me to be

No, you'll go. If it's overnight, they'll put you up.

I can think of worse things than putting my feet up

It's the way you...stormed out this morning, like...

You didn't even make him his breakfast!

Why didn't you make his fucking breakfast?!

You were downstairs. He was absolutely fine!

But you didn't even say a word!

You just... You j...

What if I'd been sleeping?

What if I'd gone out the back door

and not even realised he was still in the house? I was upset!

My best friend was murdered!

But sure, it's fine!

Nobody died!

Brother, you will not be led into temptation.

You were all over social media.

Are you OK?

Aye.

Well...

You must have been scared shitless.

I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In the hospital?

You've been following it closely, I see.

But you were there?

Yeah.

I was just visiting a friend and then...

The real...killer.

The real killer.

Jesus.

You were so close to it.

Aye.

You know, I've still got another 20 minutes to...to kill,

Yeah?

OK.

Would you ever do anything violent?

N...no. It's OK.

No! No, of course I wouldn't.

So there are no skeletons...

..in the closet? No.

That's why this whole thing is just so fucked up.

You do believe me, don't you?

Of course.

If you have done anything,

you can tell me, I won't judge.

No.

I wouldn't. I see you...
