Where's Julia?

Julia?

Julia!

That was right in my ear.

People I'd love to kill...

People I'd love to kill...

..this bitch!

It's not looking good - for you, Rhiannon. - Nope.

Present at a murder scene. Linked to a missing person.

Where is Julia? Is she... OK?

She's been very helpful.

Is he... definitely dead?

Yeah.

Yes.

We can arrange for you to see him.

No. No, thank you.

I'm just trying to get my head around how you worked out

that Julia was at just some random address you found at Marcus's.

I got some threatening texts from Marcus,

like he was trying to warn me off.

I did some digging, found out he had this development off the books.

I thought... it would probably be a good place to look.

I'm a reporter, so... it was just a hunch.

It panned out, which was lucky, cos usually...

hunches are just a waste of time.

Make you look a bit ridiculous!

Thank you. We'll take a look at the texts.

Right, so what happened when she got there?

It all happened so fast.

She must have tripped the alarm or something,

because he was suddenly there with a knife...

...saying he was gonna do to us what he did to those men.

He knew everyone was gonna find out what he'd done.

He said he was gonna jump off the banister.

And then he... ...slipped. And just fell.

For the benefit of the tape,

I am now going to show Julia...

a photo of evidence number XR920B.

Have you seen this knife before?

Yes.

I have. - Where have you seen it? - Uh...

Marcus threatened me with it.

We think this knife was used in two other murders.

Did Marcus ever mention anything like that?

I don't think he did, cos I don't think it was him.

You are our only witness, Julia.

Don't you think those men's families deserve to know the truth?

What really happened?

I told you.

He slipped.

And he fell.

Sorry, why do we have to go over it again?

I just... I already told you,

and I'm... really tired, and it's just...

You know, it's... it's really such a blur.

I could murder a Frappuccino. I think we've got everything we need.

- Thank you, Rhiannon. - Wait, wait, no. Just... Just a minute. Please.

Um... Your dad passed away recently, didn't he?

Um... Yeah. For the benefit of the tape...

I'm showing Rhiannon a photo of evidence number XR920B.

Have you seen it before?

Uh... Yeah.

That's Marcus's knife.

I looked it up, actually. It's a lock knife.

It's traditionally used for utility purposes.

Trades.

Your dad is a joiner, isn't he?

Sorry. Was.

Yeah, he was.

He was a big part of your life. You lived together.

You looked after him when he got sick.

Yes, that's right.

Sweet. And your mum?

She's not around.

And your sister... ...is abroad, yeah.

That must be hard...

going through all that pain when you're so alone.

Sorry, is this... going somewhere?

I'm not sure this is - You had no-one.

No dad. No sister around.

And then your school bully turns up,

the one who made you pull your hair out so much, you had to wear a wig.

And she tries to take away...

the one thing you have left of him.

His house!

No wonder you were so angry. I mean, I...I get it!

I see you. You know, I feel overlooked all the time.

I find myself fantasising about people dying in horrible accidents,

just so I don't have to deal with them any more.

But I don't actually murder them. Alright. Uh... Now -

You killed those men! Marina.

- You were gonna kill Julia too. - No, - I wasn't. - But then something changed.

No! She's a victim! I saved her!

Unlike the other two bullies - you stabbed to death?! - Farrow!

Out!

Now.

I'm so sorry. I'm just... going to go...

What the fuck are you doing?

Trying to get something out of her that wasn't a lie.

Oh, God. I don't want to have to report you. I hate filling in forms!

She did it! We know she did it!

Irresponsible, idiotic policing!

You don't know anything. You're just making it up as you go along.

We have no DNA evidence for the first two murders.

We have an actual murderer in custody.

No, we have two women -

one whose physical exam confirms abuse and abduction -

corroborating the same story about the same man

whose fingerprints were also found on the murder weapon.

At least just let me search her - house. - No, let it go. Case closed.

She's not who you think she is.

She is not a hero or a victim.

She is a fucking serial killer!

Oh, my God. You're letting her get away with it.

Um... The thing you have to remember is... every dog has its day.

Fuck off, Rory, you wet prick!

Go home.

Rory, I'm - Detective Sager...

get confirmation from CPS, but those women are free to go.

You're not overlooked.

You're just not good enough.

Rhiannon? You can go.

Really? If you want.

Why would you want to stay? No, uh... Thank you. Thanks.

Where's Julia? Have you seen Julia? She was released earlier.

Come on, then, let's uh... get your stuff.

Oh, fuck!

Rhiannon!

Well, I know where I need to go if I want to get some free trackies now.

Yeah.

Do you want to talk about it?

Uh... I've been talking about it non-stop, really.

Well, look, we can just go back to mine if you want.

I'll make you some breakfast, run you a bath...

Actually, do you mind if we make a stop somewhere?

Ready? We're outside the home of Julia Blenkingsopp,

who was found alive in the early hours of this morning.

The search for Blenkingsopp...

Rhiannon?

Hi. Hey.

Hi. I heard what happened.

So scary. I was really worried about you.

Have you seen Julia? Is she back yet?

No. No, she hasn't shown.

I'm here if you wanna talk.

AJ, I'm really sorry about...

how I treated you.

Well, no, I'm sorry if I came across as obsessive.

No. God, no, I didn't mean that.

Well, I was... I was going for...

...casual but interested.

But I get it. I'll... I'll stop.

No, I...

Prick.

Anyway, um...

I'm really glad you're OK.

I should probably...

OK. Um... See you at work?

Yeah. OK.

Thanks for the lift.

Any time.

Although, next time, ideally, from, like, a pub or yoga,

not 24 hours in police custody.

Yeah, well, I'll try.

I'll see you later.

Stay out of trouble.

Fuck!

Julia? Let me in.

I didn't know where else to go.

Wow, there are some...

seriously aggressive reporters outside my house.

Are you... OK?

You... You killed my fiance.

And then we fucking lied to the police, babe. Uh...

That wasn't the plan. You fucking killed him.

So... no.

Not OK, actually.

I know. I know. I know. Julia?

He would have killed you. I had to save you from him.

Alright? I swear, I will never kill again, but I had to.

And now you're safe. You don't have to see him again.

He can't hurt you any more, OK?

Yeah? Yeah.

It's over now.

Fucking hell!

Free!

We're free! Oh!

Yeah, free.

I keep thinking the police are gonna turn up.

No, they won't.

I can't go to prison, Rhi. I feel like I've just come out of one.

People don't go to prison for doing good things, OK?

He was a bad man.

Society should be thanking us, not making us...

doubt ourselves.

Do you really believe that?

I do, cos that's what fucking happened.

We did that.

We rid the world of a bully.

Yeah.

Yeah, we fucking did.

Now the rest of our lives can begin.

Come on. Let's go.

What? We're gonna celebrate.

To freedom. - Freedom.

Oh, my God! What?

Marcus loved this song. He played it when he proposed.

He did a dance.

And then he shut my ring finger in the door because I uh...

wanted to get it resized.

I think we should go to The Gazette.

Tell our story our way. Tell everyone what he did to you.

Norman loves stuff like that. I don't know if I want to do that.

To be a victim. But you're not a victim.

WE'RE not.

Not any more.

This is how we take the power back.

Then it's done.

OK. - Yeah? - Yeah.

Let's do it. Uh... Rhiannon.

Why do you have a bag of dust in your handbag?

It's my dad.

You brought ashes... to a bar?

I didn't want him to get lonely. Alright, girls?

Looking lovely tonight.

What are we celebrating?

Do you um... need any help?

No, thank you.

We just got out of prison.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah? What did you do?

She killed three people.

They were all men.

What were you in for, then?

- - Burglary. - No. - You stole... No. Don't do it. You're better than this.

...stole my heart. No, thank you.

Bye!

I can kill him if you want.

What? It was a... It was a joke.

Julia, I meant what I said. I'm done with all that.

This is a fresh start for both of us.

OK? It's like Life 2.0.

It's gonna be great. Let's just get fucked up!

I'm gonna get so off my tits, I can't even feel them.

OK. Where's that guy?

They'll need cash. Uh... Give me your bank card.

Marcus froze mine. I saw - an ATM over the road. - OK. Yeah.

So... Cool, yeah!

4179.

Hey, boys!

Hey, Craig. Uh...

No, I'm... I'm actually out at the moment.

Yeah. A place called Cameos.

No, I'm with Julia.

We wanted to celebrate.

Rhiannon!

Standing up for myself.

Yeah.

He's all over my bag!

Oh, fuck! He's everywhere!

I think he'd find it funny.

Yeah.

Bye, Dad.

Oh!

Morning, Craig.

What the fuck?

God, I feel like I can do anything.

Like people finally... see me.

You know, like they believe in me.

I see you.

Your pupils are massive.

Ugh, I need to sleep if I'm gonna get through this interview.

I don't know what I'll do now.

You could live with me.

Eh? Have Seren's room.

We could redecorate.

Mm.

Oh, God!

I think I texted him.

What the fuck!? Um...

Uh... Where have you been?

What?!

You were out all night. I've been waiting for you.

What are you doing in my house...

Detective?

You know, a part of me was like...

...'Have I lost it?

Could she have really done that?

She's, like, the size of a small child.

She used to own a Chihuahua.'

Yeah. You've lost it.

And then I saw the CCTV.

And I was like...

'Yeah. She could.'

What CCTV?

I knew it was you.

People underestimate you, Rhiannon.

What, I don't seem like the Chihuahua type?

They don't know what you're capable of.

But I do.

Look, whatever you think you found...

...it's not like you can use it, is it?

You broke in.

I don't care.

I know you'll do it again.

Do what?

This isn't you, Rhiannon.

This new life.

It's all pretend.

It's empty.

And it's only a matter of time before they all realise that.

You'll do it again.

You'll need to.

And when you do...

I will be there.

I just wanted you to know that.

I have everything I need.

So you're gonna be waiting a long time.

Which is good...

cos it seems like you've got a lot of that on your hands,

spending your evenings breaking into people's houses

and going through their underwear drawers.

But you've got nothing else.

Have you?

See you, Rhiannon.

Hey.

Hi!

Um... AJ, Julia. Julia...

AJ. Hey!

Hi. Um... It's great to meet you.

And I'm so sorry for everything.

Sounds really intense.

Yeah, thanks. Well, Norman...

is really excited to meet you - I've told him not to be weird.

Um... Do you wanna...?

Hi, everyone. Here she is.

Hero.

Thanks.

So glad you're OK.

Couldn't cope with losing another one.

Alright, alright, don't crowd them. Well done.

Julia, it's great to meet you.

Oh!

Now, that's a face that sells papers.

Someone, fetch the ladies some tea, please.

Oh, uh... milk and no sugar, - please, Phil. - Mm-hm.

If you wanna grab a seat, Julia.

So...

maybe you could take us through...

a day of being... held.

Um... I'm sorry to ask, but our... readers...

A day in the life of a hostage?

I should do one of those TikToks.

'Get kidnapped with me, Julia.'

Uh... Every day started the same.

Not that I knew what day it was.

I just remember the waiting.

Not that I knew what for.

Death, probably.

And when I wasn't waiting, I was screaming.

I had this...

rag in my mouth.

And I can still taste it. It...

I can't imagine.

Well, I can, because...

...because you're describing it.

It was humiliating.

Someone I know...

putting me through that.

I guess we can't ever really know the people we love.

I think I do now.

Julia.

What would you say to him if he were here now?

'You made me feel like an animal.

Like I was nothing.'

It's... It's been a lot, hasn't it?

I...I get it, though.

People hurt you, you hurt people.

It's a cycle.

And it just goes round and round.

Until...

...someone puts a stick in the spokes.

Wow!

Thank you for...

for being so open with us.

Um... I was wondering if you could do a -I...

don't want to talk about this - any more. - OK. I'm sorry.

I'll - Sorry, she's tired.

Thank you. Julia...

Julia, I... Are you...

OK? Are we...

...good? Course, babe.

I'm just... hanging. Total zombie.

I'll eat your face if I don't get some avocado in me.

So, why don't I do that, just... pop home and get my stuff?

I'll come over later.

OK.

Mm.

You did really good today.

Hey! Oh!

Babe, I don't know about you, but I am hanging!

I've had three Egg McMuffins. Yeah. Same.

It was fun, though. We should do that more often.

Know what? I fucking love dancing. I think we should just be friends.

What?

I just...

You're really sweet.

Obviously.

I just think this is what's best for me.

I thought we were having fun.

We were. We are. It's just...

...well, you know, it was never really...

What?

Real.

Right, OK.

Wow! Fucking hell!

OK!

Sorry, I didn't think you'd - care this much. - No, no. No, stop.

Look, I know there's something going on with you and Julia.

You don't even like her.

And then she goes missing, and her fiance dies.

And then, what, you two are shacking up together?

Oh, my God!

Of course you'd go there. Look...

Craig, people drunk-snog their friends all the time.

I'm not going THERE. You asked me to lie for you!

No, I never asked you to lie. Yes, you did!I...

I dunno what it is, but there is something fucked up going on here.

Nothing fucked up is going on. OK? It's fine. It's just...

,,things have been... really hard for me since Dad died.

OK?

It's fine. I won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

Cos you're gonna sell me the business.

What?

You've been using me.

- No, I haven't. - You have. It's fine. Look, I used you before.

So, sign the offer.

It's good. It's fair.

You can do it now. I've got a copy here.

You...

You know, I feel really sorry for you, Craig.

The only reason you'll own your own business is because you blackmailed me.

It's pathetic.

Fuck you.

Oh, and also, you're supposed to cook couscous in water. Idiot!

I don't think he'd like who you are now.

Hi, it's Julia. Leave me a message.

Hey, Julia. It's me, Rhiannon.

Um...

Just checking if you still wanted to come over tonight.

I'm home now, so just...

yeah, come over whenever.

I'm cooking, so...

Uh... OK. Bye.

Oh! Hi.

Did you think I was Craig?

No.

Uh... No. OK.

- Cool. - Do you reckon we could...? Come in.

You're cooking.

Oh, yeah.

You know me, just... wholesome.

Yeah, I feel like I... No, you're not.

I um - I broke up with Craig.

Fucking finally!

Sorry.

When I was younger, I used to um...

But you don't any more?

No.

Tell me something else.

You're freakishly strong.

Hi, it's Julia. Leave me a message.

Uh... Hi. It's me... again.

Um...

Do you still have my bank card?

I just got a weird notification from BA. I...

I don't know if I got hacked.

Or if it's... you, maybe?

Um... So, yeah, call me back.

Where are you?

I meant to tell you, I got my first police contact.

He's, like, a proper copper.

DC.

I met him in the dog park, walking Mum's cockapoo.

You OK?

Yeah. Fine. Just um...

Julia.

She's gone AWOL.

Maybe she just... needs some space.

It's been intense... for both of you.

Yeah.

Look.

He sent me this.

No-one else has it.

It's the murder weapon.

Serious bit of kit, huh?

That's a serious bit of kit you got there.

AJ?

AJ?

Can I have my T-shirt, please?

No. That's fine.

AJ? Rhi, is this...?

What?

Uh... Where's... Where's the knife?

What knife? The one. This one.

What?

The ridiculous knife you used to open post.

It's not ridiculous.

It was my dad's. OK.

Then where is it?

AJ, come on, it's...

...I don't know, probably in the kitchen or something.

Don't get worked up. I can make us some tea, and then we can...

Where is it?

Look, it's not here. Where did you...?

Where did you put it? AJ.

AJ.

Honestly, this is all... this is all wrong.

I remember that... the day we met,

you were wearing that blue shirt, and...

...doing the post, and...

It's... It's your knife, isn't it?

Isn't it?!

I was grieving.

What?

I was so...

I was so angry.

Well, you saw how I was when we first met.

I mean, people just dismissed me.

What did you do?

I stood up for myself.

They were bad people, AJ.

They were bullies.

The world is a better place - without them. - Oh, my God!

I shouldn't have to fight this hard to be seen!

I didn't have to try with you.

Rhiannon, you can't think this...

You murdered those men.

AJ, it's... it's OK.

OK? It's...

AJ.

AJ, it's OK.

It's OK. I don't do it any more, because I have you.

AJ, I have you, don't I?

It's OK.

AJ, you see me. You know me.

You're the only one who really - sees me. - You're a monster!

No, I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not.

Please.

I have to go. No, AJ.

You can't. My mum will be wondering.

Cos I haven't replied to the text. Stay. You can't go.

Please. Please don't do this. Rhiannon.

Rhiannon, let go. - Don't! You can't leave me! - Rhiannon.

Rhiannon, get off me. - Don't do this. - Rhiannon.

Stop!

Argh!

I'm not a monster!

I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not!

I'm not!

It's OK. It's OK.

It's OK.

Shh. It's OK.

I'm not.

I'm not a monster. I'm not.

Rhiannon?

Rhiannon?
