00:00Who's that?
00:14Just Chas asking how I am.
00:15Is it not Sam and Lydia? I think they're making plans. I heard Sam on the phone last night.
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. He remembers you from when you were a nippy. And he's happy to do
00:42it 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 statements at police, they're going to be round here.
00:54It's the only way we can protect you.
01:04I've been texting you.
01:06Well, I left my phone here.
01:09Great. Really useful.
01:12OK, I'm sorry I sneaked out. I just wanted to check the sheep made it through their first night.
01:18Moira, you need to be with someone at all times. That's what we discussed yesterday.
01:22Hi.
01:24Sorry, should I knock? Never sure of the family protocol.
01:28Ruby, 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?
01:42To babysit, just to clarify. Stick me in front of the telly while you drink coffee and eat biscuits.
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.
01:52I 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?
02:00Are you still here?
02:05Right. How vile is this coffee?
02:09How's Tom doing?
02:11My chest drain's still in and he's on medication for the pain, but OK, according to the nurses when we phoned.
02:17Well, that's amazing. Send in my best when you see him.
02:20I will.
02:22Oh, and I wanted to have a word about Laurel.
02:26That news about her stepping back from the parish council, it took me by surprise if I'm honest.
02:31Really? I thought you dismissed most of her ideas because you're scared of your mum.
02:36No. 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?
02:48Unless your council business is blurring into some kind of extracurricular activity.
02:56I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
02:59Well, you're a vicar and they can't lie.
03:05Taras.
03:08They're expecting you tomorrow.
03:10No, I can't go that soon.
03:12Well, we're getting there tomorrow. We're leaving tonight.
03:15So, we've not even got a full day.
03:18You'd best get packing. Lydia will help you when she's got Mr Kidd's parking.
03:22I need to go out, actually.
03:24Aye, that's not in the plan.
03:26Yeah, just to Mandy's.
03:28I'll come with you.
03:29No, no, you need to work on the van. Make sure it doesn't break down. I'm not going to be long.
03:33OK. Pre-flight checks it is, then.
03:37Thank you. Both of you, for everything.
03:45Sorry. Didn't know he was staying over.
03:48That's because it's none of your business.
03:51I'm sorry.
03:53Sorry. Didn't know he was staying over.
03:56That's because it's none of your business.
03:59What's up with you?
04:01Nothing.
04:02But, no, Matty's supposed to be looking after Moira.
04:06But, clearly, he missed something on the assignment because she has gone ahead and bought a random flock of sheep because Isaac misses Minty.
04:13That's exciting. Well, I can swap your sheep for a load of smartwatches.
04:17What?
04:18Swirling's onto me.
04:20I got caught speeding where I got him from and now I can't use my car.
04:23But you could lend me one.
04:25Maybe your boyfriend might have one.
04:28In 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?
04:33Who says you need to tell him?
04:38Hey, where did all these domestic skills come from?
04:40Because I swear I have never seen you cook.
04:43Apart from Europe dinner party and the less said about that.
04:47I used to help my mum.
04:49She put on these parties for her golf club mates.
04:54I was in charge of carving the tomatoes into flowers.
05:00Balling the melon.
05:06You miss her?
05:11I miss the melon baller.
05:15Never been able to find one quite the same.
05:18Peppers.
05:21I've set a date for her cremation, though, so that's all good.
05:25Oh, Caleb never mentioned it.
05:28Enough about that.
05:29Tell me about this brain tumour.
05:31Really?
05:33Yep. I live for dingle ailments.
05:36I have nailed the brachygene and now I am onto meningioma.
05:41So?
05:42Is Tom OK?
05:44He's going to be fine.
05:45I was just telling Charles.
05:47Charles?
05:49Good of him to ask, seeing as how he seemed majorly distracted.
05:53Oh?
05:54Yeah, him and Manpreet have got back together.
05:56Ha! Gotcha! I saw that good little face.
05:59No, you didn't.
06:00You'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.
06:05I had to work it out from Charles' pathetic attempts to be subtle.
06:08So what? Him and Manpreet back together then?
06:10No. That was my cunning trap, which you totally fell for.
06:13I really hate you sometimes, Nicola.
06:15So, details. And don't try and fob me off because I'm in desperate need of light relief.
06:19There is nothing to tell.
06:20Pathetic. Zero out of ten.
06:22OK. Whatever there was...
06:24Which you're going to elaborate?
06:26It's over now, OK? It's a mistake.
06:28So, we're talking mistake territory. This is properly juicy.
06:34I slept with him. There you go. I said it.
06:37Laura Thomas? You raunchy little saucemonger.
06:41You look really shocked. Are you shocked? I 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. You're single, he's single. Why is it over?
06:58I have finished my patient list.
07:03And you texted there's a problem?
07:05Oh, it's just with my car.
07:07Gearbox is seizing up, so I need to have a look at it.
07:11Thanks for sharing.
07:13I've got a job on tomorrow, so I wondered if I could maybe borrow your van.
07:19You drive my van?
07:21Yeah. I'll pay for the fuel, obviously.
07:24No.
07:26What?
07:27Well, it's van to you, home to me.
07:30Sorry, it's just a rule I've got.
07:33Don't worry, it's fine.
07:36Did you eat the leftover pizza?
07:39Yeah. She only want me for my crusts. Flattered.
07:43Put it in the fridge.
07:47Grab us a few beers while you're there.
08:01I'm sorry about being snarky when you got here.
08:04Just, I really thought Mackenzie was ambushing me.
08:06It wasn't a set-up, I promise.
08:08We should definitely do this again.
08:11The sheep have escaped. They're all over the place. Where are the quad bike keys?
08:14They're behind the door, as always. Escaped how?
08:17Through the gate. Unless they've learnt to fly.
08:20What, me?
08:22Well, you were the last person who was up there.
08:39One minute to spare.
08:41Living dangerously, Belle.
08:44What do you want?
08:46A cup of tea, and then a wash.
08:48Because I keep finding these clumps of dried blood in my...
08:51You told me that I had to come.
08:54Did I?
08:56Oh, yeah. I phoned you.
09:03It's time to make a deal.
09:09What sort of deal?
09:11Why haven't you told the police what's happened yet?
09:13How do you know I haven't already?
09:26You've not done a statement, or have you?
09:29I haven't done a statement.
09:31You haven't done a statement.
09:33I haven't done a statement.
09:35I haven't done a statement.
09:37You've not done a statement, or else I'd know about it.
09:39I didn't say I had, Belle.
09:41You're not listening again.
09:45When I do,
09:47when I tell the police that my memory's crystal clear,
09:52I'm going to relive the whole trauma.
09:55Amelia's already told them that it was you.
09:59You locked me in.
10:01You beat me.
10:02You stuck an axe in my back.
10:05You were going to kill me.
10:09And here you go again.
10:11Round and round, the same old loop.
10:14No.
10:17Here's the thing, Belle.
10:20I'm not actually going to tell the police that it was you who attacked me,
10:24in your most psychotic act yet.
10:27If you drop your ludicrous, unsubstantiated,
10:33allegations.
10:36What?
10:37Stop lying that I'm an abuser and you're in the clear.
10:48Well?
10:49Yeah, they're sorted.
10:52Well, at least they got a good run.
10:54Do sheep need that, like dogs?
10:56No, no.
10:58My bad.
11:00Thank you so much.
11:03But could you go now?
11:06Ruby, thanks for lunch and everything and for staying.
11:15Be kind.
11:25You still blaming me?
11:29Maria, the gate was wide open.
11:31I'd never do that.
11:32I'd go through the gate and I'd close it behind me.
11:34It's second nature.
11:35Used to be second nature.
11:37No.
11:38It's tough to face.
11:39But you've got your limitations now.
11:41You can't do the stuff that you did before.
11:44And the sooner that you realise that.
11:46I do.
11:47Properly realise.
11:48Stop fighting me and everything, Moira.
11:50Not going out on your own.
11:52And absolutely not trying to work without me or Matty present.
11:56I was just checking the sheep.
11:58Moira, they could have got out onto the road.
12:00They could have caused an accident and killed someone.
12:02Alright, alright, I'm sorry.
12:04I'm not trying to make this harder for you.
12:06This is helping me too.
12:08I know, I know, I know.
12:12But I will try.
12:15And I'll stay inside and...
12:17And I'll be good.
12:20I understand what you're doing for me.
12:31I wasn't going to come.
12:33But I thought we were both adults and...
12:35Your emergency biscuit supplies are woeful and we definitely need biscuits.
12:39Nicola, Charles is just, um...
12:41Yeah, um...
12:43You're resignation from the parish council.
12:45I need a letter for the files.
12:47Yeah, I'll drop it off later.
12:49Oh, I can wait.
12:55Right, I've just remembered I need to relieve Jimmy.
12:58I've just remembered I need to relieve Jimmy so he can get to the hospital.
13:03Enjoy your loose ends.
13:09I'm sorry, I didn't want you to hear from Rodney that I was leaving.
13:12That was just me being cowardly.
13:15Can't you change your mind?
13:18You being a part of the church is way bigger and much more important than...
13:22Yeah, I know I'm letting people down. I feel really guilty about that.
13:25We said we'd forget about it. We agreed to that.
13:27Yeah, but that's easier said than done. I mean, I work alongside you and you set me off.
13:31You bring out this side in me.
13:34I like that side.
13:37It's pretty irresistible.
13:39This is why I've resigned!
13:40Laurel!
13:41No, no, no. This is a weird reaction to us both being single.
13:45It's total madness and I feel really awkward with Manpreet.
13:49What if Jay finds out?
13:51There's a million reasons why it's a bad idea, but...
13:54Yeah, which is why I'm stepping away and being responsible.
13:59So 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 who jump into bed with who we like and blow the consequences.
14:15Where are the pens? I can never find any pens. Dotty hoards them all.
14:19So it's for the best. I get it.
14:25But the door's always open.
14:30To the parish council, I mean.
14:33Yes. Yeah, right. Well, I will drop this off later at the church and...
14:38And the pen.
14:40And the pen.
14:55Well?
14:56I've said I need to think.
15:00Because it's a lie, Tom.
15:03Yes, I attacked you, but...
15:06It was self-defence, and that's all I need to tell the police.
15:09Self-defence?
15:11The axe was in my back.
15:13Does that work?
15:15And just look at your history.
15:17One murder conviction already.
15:19Gemma was manslaughter.
15:26You've been sectioned.
15:29How many times?
15:31You relapsed when you're stressed.
15:33You forget to take your meds. You hear voices.
15:35I can manage my mental health. I've got it under control.
15:38It's been the bane of our entire marriage, Belle.
15:42Your family are well aware of how I've struggled.
15:45No, that's what you told them. They know that that's not true.
15:48They'd be called as witnesses, my witnesses, to court, Belle, not yours.
15:53And then we've also got Marlon, Rona and Vanessa all taking the stand
15:58to describe how you viciously assaulted me in the street.
16:03Are you sure you're ready for that?
16:05Or we do as I suggest.
16:09I want you to be happy, Belle.
16:12Go and get some treatment, and you could have a whole future ahead of you.
16:19It makes sense.
16:21It'll be the last thing I ever ask of you.
16:29Okay.
16:30Okay.
16:32I'll do what you want.
16:40To seal the deal?
17:01Just doing the feed order. Trying to be useful.
17:05You are useful.
17:07I'm sorry for knocking your confidence earlier.
17:10Just being honest.
17:15Hey, you.
17:16Did you thank Vanessa for dropping you off?
17:18Yeah.
17:19Good man.
17:21Well, don't you want to go and see a sheep?
17:24Are they okay?
17:25Well, don't you want to go and see a sheep?
17:27Are they okay?
17:30Of course. Why wouldn't they be?
17:34Isaac? What?
17:36I think I left the gate open.
17:41I went to the field before school, and then Matty was calling me.
17:46So I forgot to close it. I'm sorry, Mum.
17:50It's okay. Come here.
17:51You did the right thing telling me.
17:54He's very brave. Right.
17:56All right, go upstairs and get changed quickly.
17:58I'll take your bag.
17:59There you go.
18:00Good man.
18:06Moira, I'm sorry.
18:08It wasn't me.
18:09I told you it wasn't me.
18:13I was right.
18:19Oh.
18:21Jimmy.
18:22I called DS4. I told him that my memory's a lot clearer now,
18:25and I'm ready to talk properly.
18:27We've just arrived, Mr King. We'll take things nice and slowly.
18:37So, in your own words,
18:39just tell me what you can remember about the alleged attack.
18:44Okay.
18:46I was walking, leaving the village,
18:50and then these two men just... just appeared.
18:56They were trying to rob me. They were asking for my money.
18:59What men? Did you recognise them?
19:01Mr King.
19:03I'd never seen them before.
19:05One was in his 30s.
19:07He had...
19:10He had a tattoo on his neck and a Leeds accent.
19:15And the other?
19:1740s.
19:19He was thin.
19:21And he had these really dark eyes, just...
19:24just staring back at me.
19:26They were right up in my face. I couldn't get past them,
19:28so 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 and...
19:39there was this axe.
19:42THE axe.
19:44Oh, God.
19:46I ran.
19:48But they grabbed me. I broke free.
19:52And then there was this pain.
19:54This...
19:55this red-hot agony just spreading across my shoulders.
20:00This is horrific!
20:01He needs a rest.
20:03Have you got enough to go on?
20:05For now.
20:07If you can think of any more details, however small,
20:10I'll call you.
20:12I don't want anyone else to go through what I have.
20:18I...
20:20I thought it was Belle.
20:22She might not be her best self right now, but...
20:26to put an axe in my back...
20:29Jimmy.
20:34All right, miss.
20:36Are you waiting for someone?
20:47No.
20:57What's this?
20:59Evidence.
21:07I've attacked my husband...
21:09in self-defence.
21:12He wanted to kill me.
21:14I'm a victim of domestic abuse.
