[Emma] I'm not sleeping
and it's getting worse.

I told you that my mum died
when I was a kid.

Uh-huh.

[Emma] But it's not true.

She died a couple of days ago.

You know, you do look exhausted.

So who knows?
Maybe you are going fucking mad

just like she did.

I will never be you.
[heart monitor beeping]

Uh, Mrs. Averill.

DI Hildreth and DS Caine.

We need to ask you
a few questions

about the recent death
of your mother.

[rain pouring]

[muffled bumping]

Phoebe.

[bumping continues]

[mysterious music]

Ah, there you are.

Back to bed for you.

[muffled screaming]

[Woman grunting]

Mummy.

[Hildreth] The results
of the postmortem

show that your mother
was suffocated.

Blood from a pressure nose bleed

was found
on your mother's pillow.

And fibers from the pillow case

were found in her nasal cavities
and throat.

Did you notice anything unusual
or anyone?

No, not that I can recall.

[ethereal music]

[Hildreth] Did you notice
any change

in your mother's condition?

[music swells creepily]

No.

[camera shutter clicking]

[Hildreth] Don't go too far,
Mrs. Averill.

-[Emma] Thank you.
-[Caine] We'll be in touch.

So you went to see your mum
on the Sunday, not the office?

I thought something had happened
to Phoebe.

So that, that's why
you were so funny

when she showed up.

Yeah, we had a row.
She lied to me.

[Robert]Just so I'm clear,

you went to go see your mum
again on the Tuesday,

but when did they tell you
that the death

might be suspicious?

Because you knew
about postmortem.

Rob, she means
absolutely nothing to me.

[footsteps approaching]

Does someone wanna tell me
what's going on?

We'll talk about it later.

Chloe, there's a lot that we're
gonna talk about later.

Right, so I have a grandmother
that I didn't know about

and you guys wanna give me shit
about a bit of coke?

This family is so fucked up.

[footsteps departing]
[door shutting]

Em.

It's me.

Is there anything else
that you need to tell us?

Not now? Now's your moment.

No. Nothing.

I promise.

[Robert] Okay.

[tense music]

[Emma] You might want to get
a solicitor lined up,

just in case.

Thanks for that, Em,
but I didn't kill her.

Well, they're saying
she was murdered,

and they always look
at family first.

Maybe there's a family member
we're not aware of.

There's nobody I can think of.

It's not as if anybody
crawled out of the woodwork

to claim us
all those years back, is it?

Why would you tell them
I was there that morning?

Why would I lie?

You're starting to sound
really paranoid, Em.

No, I'm not paranoid,

but I have
had to tell Robert everything.

Maybe that's not a bad thing.

You know, you probably
should've told him years ago.

But I chose not to,
didn't I, Phoebe?

You know,
since you've been back,

you have opened the door
to all this shit

and just pushed me through it.

Thanks for that.

Yeah. I can send you
some sketches, yeah.

-Uh-huh.
-Robert.

-[Robert] Yeah. [chuckling]
-Can I have a quick word?

[Robert] Of course. Yeah.

All right, listen,
I've gotta go.

All right, speak to you later.
Bye.

Um, Will hasn't
accidentally seen

something scary at home, has he?

Why? Why, why do you ask?

I had to take this
off him earlier.

He nearly had
a tantrum about it.

[suspenseful music]

He's been drawing obsessively.

Emma. There is
a Caroline Mitchel here.

She doesn't have an appointment,
but you've got space.

Um, yeah, sure.

Put her in the conference room.
I'll head over.

Also, can you arrange
an appointment

for tomorrow
with Pete Stockwell?

But not here. In a coffee shop.

I need to face the music.

-Of course.
-[Emma] Thank you.

-Hi, Caroline.
-Hi.

-How are you?
-[Caroline] Uh, great.

[exhaling in discomfort]

You said that I could get
in touch if I needed anything.

Yeah. Sure.

Take a seat.

[Caroline clearing throat]

-It's my mum.
-Okay.

I wanted to get
power of attorney sorted.

But I'm worried that I might've
left it a bit late.

Um, mental health.

[Emma] Yeah.

Right, I mean, look,
it is always easier

to get it sorted
before things take a turn,

but it's not impossible.

I'm just so annoyed at myself.

I downloaded the forms ages ago,
but I just...

I just couldn't face
filling them in with her.

I kept putting it off.

And now here I am.

Anyway, um, how are you?
How's your mum?

Um, she passed away.

Oh, my God.

Emma, I'm so sorry.

[Emma] Thank you.

Look, so I have a stack of work
that I need to get on with,

so I can't deal with this
right now,

but I do want to help.

Um, maybe we can do something
out of hours.

That would be amazing.
[chuckles lightly]

And if it is out of hours,
I could throw some wine in.

-Wine always helps.
-Oh, wine always helps.

[Caroline chuckling]

[ominous music]

You're so good at drawing, Will.
Seriously.

What are these?

'Cause they're really good,

but they're, they're
really scary.

I had a bad dream.

And is, is that where
this scary lady comes from?

I only see her at night.

Oh, buddy.

Nightmares, you know
they're not real.

Even though, sometimes, they
really, really feel like it.

Is that why
you haven't been sleeping?

You know,
if you have a bad dream,

you can just call
for me or Mummy

and we will come rushing
into your room

to make sure that you're safe.

[loud rustling]
Okay, I promise.

Hey, Chlo.

There's some food for you here.

Hey, Will, baba,
shouldn't you be in bed?

Should I tuck you in? Come on.

-Good night, bud.
-Good night, Dad.

Chloe, can I have a word?

-I'll be with you in a minute.
-Yeah.

Chlo, I'm really sorry

the way that we handled that
this morning.

It wasn't great.

And, look, if you're gonna
be doing drugs,

I just want you to know that you
can talk to me about it.

I just want us
to be honest with each other.

Mum's mum died years ago,
that's what you always told me.

-Did you know about her?
-It's complicated.

[Chloe] Dad,
it's not complicated.

Either someone's alive
or they're not,

and did you not just say

that we should be honest
with each other?

No, I didn't know about her.

Mum didn't tell you
about her either.

Dad, do you know
how bad that is?

[scoffing]

-Chloe.
-I'm putting Will to bed.

[Robert] I'm in the kitchen.

How you doing?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Um, Will's a bit off.

I spoke to his teacher earlier,

and, um, she showed me this book

he's been drawing
some weird pictures in.

What sort of drawings?

I don't know. He said
that they were to do

with his nightmares
or something.

You haven't heard him
calling out for us, have you?

-No.
-No, me neither.

Well, he's asleep now anyway.

You need to speak to Chloe.

Yeah.

[knocking on door]

[hard music blaring]

Can we talk?

[music turns off]

I don't want to fight with you.

I know you're angry that I
didn't tell you about my mother,

but she was nothing
like your grandma.

She was very unwell.

I mean, she was insane.

I think the term
you're looking for, Mum,

is that she had
mental health issues.

And I would've liked
to at least met her.

Well, you couldn't because she
was in the psychiatric unit.

I don't even know
what she looked like.

Chloe, I'm trying
to make peace with you here.

Okay?

I just want you to respect

that I don't want
to talk about it.

[cellphone vibrating]

Also, Chloe, do not bring drugs
into this house again, okay,

and we'll draw a line under it.

Yeah?

[hard music blaring]

Well, I, uh, tried
to speak to Chloe,

but she's having none of it.

Yeah, I overheard.

I think she deserves to know

about what happened
between you and your mum.

She's old enough.
You should tell her.

But I've chosen not to
for good reason, Rob.

Yeah, but you're choosing not
to tell us a lot of stuff

at the moment, aren't you?

I get why you didn't tell me
about your mum back in the day,

that it was easier for you
to pretend that she was dead,

but we've been married
nearly 20 years.

And it, it... That is what
I am struggling with.

It's not the one old lie.

It's all these new little ones.

And it's how easily
you can tell them.

[ghostly whirring]

[water dripping]
[ominous music]

[ghostly chittering]

[whale-like moaning]

[loud banging]

Ah, there you are.

Back to bed for you.

Mummy.

[glass scratching]
[Emma gasping]

[Emma] Will.

This is my secret hiding spot.

You don't need to be scared.

[Will panting fearfully]

[door shutting]

[music intensifying]

[record music playing]

* Starling swarms
will soon be lorn *

* Rooks tell stories
across the corn *

* Goocoo soon
will 'es leave... *

[record player stops]

[ominous music]

[water dripping]

[keyboard clacking]

You look good.

I'm just going to the bar.
I'm meeting Julian at 10:00.

Oh, nice.

Thought you'd be gone already.

I've got a late start today.

Did you sleep okay?

Yeah. Sort of.

Sort of?
[cellphone vibrating]

I'm sorry, I gotta get this.

Hey, Julian.

Yeah. Yeah.

[Emma] Got your costume already.

I'll see you later at the show.

Daddy.

[Robert] Okay,
I'll see you then.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
All right.

[grunting loudly]

You all right? You okay?

Must be nervous about the show.

Don't be nervous about the show.

Acorns are the best.

Acorns are the best!

Come on. Whoa.

Whoa.

Don't be late for the show.

I won't.

See you later.

-Thanks.
-Here you go. Oh.

[camera clicking]

[music]

[beeping]

[Julian] This exposed break
here, 3B.

It'd be great with that.
It's great.

-Yeah.
-Emma.

-Can you give us a minute?
-Okay.

[Julian] I'm sorry,
Robert's just left.

I haven't come to see Robert.
I've come to see you.

I saw this in your car

and I found it
in Chloe's bedroom,

and the only explanation
I can come up with

is making me
want to fucking vomit.

Um, sorry, you're
gonna have to explain

'cause I'm not following.

You're Amy, aren't you?

Uh, hold on a second.

I have no idea
what you're talking about, Emma.

She's 18, Julian.

Well, Chloe, yeah, I know.
I was at her birthday dinner.

Do not mess me about.

Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?

-Let's go.
-[Man] Okay.

Wow. Wow.

Wait, is that what you think?

That because Chloe's
got some jewelry

from the same shop that I
bought something for Michelle

that I must be sleeping
with your daughter?

Ever since she's worked for you,

she has become distant,
she's secretive.

Now she's got this new friend
called Amy

who I've never even fucking met.

I can't believe you're seriously
accusing me of this.

It's the same box!

There are products
of that store everywhere!

She's always had a crush on you.

We all know it. I've seen
what you're like together.

We have known each other
for years.

Our boys are in the same class.

For fuck's sake, Emma, is this
what you really think of me?

What, you think
I'd actually do that?

I think something's going on.

I found drugs in her pocket.

Drugs? She's 18, Emma.

Look, there's gonna be a lot
about Chloe that you don't know

and a lot you don't approve of,

but it's her business.

Uh, and I'm not part of it.

Are you okay, Em?

Robert said you're not sleeping.

No, I'm not sleeping, Julian,

but that is not what this is.

I must've got
the wrong end of the stick.

[music swelling]

It wasn't a mistake.

Amanda set me up.

She just makes you believe
what she wants you to believe.

She lies so well, you end up
doubting yourself, you know?

In my gut, I know I'm right.

[high-pitched ringing]

Emma, are you listening?

Yes. Sorry, Pete, yes, I am.

Uh, I should've told you
straight away

I just didn't want
to let you down.

You didn't want to have
the conversation.

That's a different thing.

Okay, that's fair.

You haven't heard the best of me
the last couple of days.

I don't think anyone has.

But I have got you
a great new solicitor.

She's an expert
in parental alienation.

I'm gonna send you her details.

There's a donation pot
just through there.

Oh, hey, Liam, hi, May,
how are you?

-Thanks.
-Yeah.

Hi.

There's a donation pot
just through there.

Told you I wouldn't be late.

Um, Michelle saved
a seat for you, I think.

Great. I'll see you.

[Robert] Hi.

Hello, lovely to see you.
Grab a seat.

You okay?

Julian should be here by now.

How is everything with you two?

He's being so fucking shady.

It's our anniversary today.

Well, I hope
he bought you something nice.

An air fryer.

[Robert] How have you been?
You all right?

-[Julian] [inaudible]
-[Robert] Okay.

Oh, my God. That's so cute.

Thank you and welcome
to our autumn term show.

And presenting
the acorns and the oaks.

He's here.

[jolly piano playing]

[Children] * Da-da,
da, da, da, dah *

* Da, da, da, dah *

* Da, da, da, dah, dah
da, da, da, dah *

* da, da, da, dah *

* Da, da, da
daa, daa, daa, dah *

* You must realize *

* The trees... *

Thank you for talking to me.

That's all right.

Sure you don't wanna come in?

Do you know what?
I don't feel great.

I'm gonna go home and lie down.

Okay.

Now, listen, you just remember

dating is tricky
at the best of times.

If he was already
in a relationship

like you say,

it'll be 10 times worse.

Doesn't mean that it's
completely over, though,

does it?

-Oh, shit.
-[Chloe] Phoebes. You okay?

-Yeah, yeah. I'm good.
-Are you sure?

[Phoebe] Yeah, I'm good.

I think I just
twisted something earlier.

[Chloe] Oh.

No, I'm really glad

that he has said
that he needs some time

because that's gonna give
you some time

to decide whether or not
you wanna go out

with some dickhead
who's dating two women.

I don't want any time.

I know, baby. I'm sorry.

It's been a really shitty day.

You've gotta give
your mum a break, yeah?

She's having
a really crappy time too.

Our mum just died.

She's bottling it all up
that she's hurting.

Okay.

All right.

Teeth.
[Chloe giggling]

Perfect.

Right, come on. Hurry up.
[laughing]

It's not like
you're gonna meet Mr. Right

sitting at the school play
with the dads.

Chloe, you're joking?

-Hey, how is he?
-[Emma] He's, he's fine.

Did I miss the whole thing?

-Yeah, yeah, you...
-[Chloe] All of it?

You've missed the whole thing.

I need a word with you.

Tell me what's going on
with you and Julian.

What are you talking about?

He's Amy, isn't he?

You spoke to him.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

So it's true.

I'm an adult.
It's none of your business.

Of course it's my business!
I'm your mother!

Michelle is one
of my best friends!

Your dad will fucking kill him!

-We love each other.
-[Emma] No, you don't.

Yes, we do.

No, he's flattered.
You're impressed.

That's not love, Chloe!

What're you gonna do
when you're at university

and you're looking after
Ben every weekend?

And cooking him fish fingers
and sorting out his tantrums?

Because I can tell you now,
Julian will not be there!

He'll be sorting out
his new bar.

It's not gonna be like that.

Don't even get me started
on the divorce, the mess,

and the chaos that will cause
for both our families!

Why do you always have to
focus on the negatives, Mum?

Because all we have here
is negatives!

Fuck's sake, Chloe,
what is wrong with you?

You know, sometimes,
I look at you

and I think, how are you
even my daughter?

How have you got yourself
into such a mess?

Because, Mum,
life is fucking messy!

And I fell in love.
And that's normal.

But you would have
no idea what normal is

because half your life
is a fucking lie!

[indistinct yelling]

I'm gonna just...

You can't even face
your own mother.

What are you so scared of?

That you're gonna end up
as fucked up as she was?

[slapping]

Chloe, I'm sorry.

[indistinct] Sorry.

Let's go home.

Chloe.

[melancholic music]

[Phoebe moaning]

[sobbing]

I wanna go to bed.

Yeah, I don't blame you, mate.

Come on.

Go on then.

[Emma sighing]

I'm really sorry, Chloe.

I shouldn't have slapped you.

Went way too far.

I shouldn't have said that
about your mum.

I'm sorry too.

Are you gonna tell Dad
about Julian?

Yeah, I have to.

Mum, please don't.

He'll never understand it.

And it's over now, anyway.

[dark ethereal music]

What the hell is going on
with you?

She got dumped. She's hurt.
She took it out on me.

No, I didn't ask
what was going on with her.

I asked
what's going on with you.

We do not hit our kids, Em.

Ground rule, day one.

Yes, I know, and I feel awful,

but she said
some really hurtful things, Rob.

Look, Chloe is not an angel,
and, yeah, boy,

can she push buttons,

but slapping her, really?

She said something
about my mother.

Oh, my God.

My God, she's a teenager.

She's just gonna
fucking lash out

with whatever she can
to hurt you.

But you're an adult!

Hey, I've got it.
Thank you, I've got it.

And I'm sorry.

You got a lot going on.

But don't take it out
on our kids.

[melancholic music]

[thunder rumbling]

[beeping]

[ominous music]

[door rattling]

You put cameras up in our house.

What the fuck am I watching, Em?

Jesus Christ.

[music intensifying]

Will's okay, just so you know.

But look at this.

Em, look at it. Take it.

It's you.

You're the one
that he's been drawing.

You're the one that he's,
he's scared of, Em.

You've been sleepwalking
around the house

and terrifying him.

[Emma whimpering]

How long
has this been going on for?

A few days, a week.

Fucking hell!

Why haven't you fucking told me?

I'm trying! I want to,
I want to tell you.

Your, um, your mother,

her... This condition
or whatever,

is it hereditary?

I don't know. That's what
I'm trying to find out.

Well, you need to get help.

Before you hurt somebody
or yourself.

[ethereal music]

[sniffling stressfully]

Two, two, nine, two, three,
three, one, zero,

one, one, one, three,
one, two, three,

five, five, two, one, zero,

two, two, one, two, three,

three, one, zero, one...

Mummy scares me.

Me too.

[creepy music swelling]

[creepy music continues]
