00:00Ruth's expecting us, yeah?
00:02But she said she'd be in all morning.
00:04Yeah, I'm just so sorry.
00:06I know, it's way too late.
00:08He's involved in this.
00:09I don't know.
00:10He was there.
00:12I know who you are.
00:14I'm gonna put you away.
00:17Under his bed there's an old case.
00:19What do you think's inside?
00:20There are Polaroids of every victim that he has killed.
00:25Oh my God, God, Paul!
00:28I'm his wife.
00:29What's happening?
00:57She's dead.
01:27Hugh.
01:29Ruth.
01:30Ruth's dead.
01:33Yeah.
01:57Mum.
02:08They're not gonna let us see him.
02:12It could be hours.
02:14Days.
02:17Let's just...
02:19Let's just come back when we know they'll let us see him.
02:22He needs me here.
02:38I got a call from Paul earlier.
02:42That's why I went round.
02:46He said that he'd taken a case from Patrick's house.
02:51It's this case, right?
02:54Yeah.
02:56And you say that this case belongs to Patrick Harbaugh.
03:03Why did you need to see the case so badly?
03:06Well, because I...
03:08I thought that it had contained Polaroid photographs of all his victims.
03:14So photos taken by the Ripton stalker?
03:17So photos taken by the Ripton stalker?
03:20Yeah, yeah, I thought that that could...
03:24Prove who he really was.
03:29Hugh, why does the case have your initials on it?
03:33Well, it...
03:36Yeah.
03:38I've got no idea. That's...
03:41That's Patrick's case. That's not mine.
03:44I mean, it's been under his bed, in his house all this time.
03:47I mean, it's been under his bed, in his house all this time.
03:49We found your fingerprints on the case, Hugh.
03:51Well, you would have done, wouldn't you? Because I opened it when I was at Paul's.
03:55We didn't find anyone else's.
03:58I didn't kill Paul.
04:00He's a good friend.
04:01I suppose you didn't kill Ruth Parker either.
04:03No.
04:05No, never. Never, no.
04:08You ever been in her bedroom?
04:11Of course not.
04:16I don't know.
04:17I don't know.
04:18I don't know.
04:19I don't know.
04:20I don't know.
04:21I don't know.
04:22I don't know.
04:23I don't know.
04:24I don't know.
04:25I don't know.
04:27Do you recognise this, Hugh?
04:32This cufflink was found under the mattress in Ruth's room.
04:42Listen, I've been in the kitchen, I mean, many times, but I've never, ever, ever been in her bedroom.
04:50I've no idea how that got there.
04:52Jenny, can't you see what's happening here?
04:54It's here I'm being framed.
04:55Hugh, talk to me.
04:57No, listen, listen, this is, this is, can't you see what's happening?
05:00He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:02It's just the same, same playbook.
05:04Is this your cufflink?
05:05No, can't you see what's happening?
05:08Can't you see what he's doing?
05:25No.
05:46Listen, this is, this is insane.
05:50Poor Tina.
05:55I need to go and pick up the twins from the crash.
05:59I can go if it would help.
06:02You.
06:07Dad didn't kill Paul.
06:10There's no way.
06:11Oh, there's no way.
06:12Yeah, I see.
06:14Liz.
06:15Patrick caught him breaking into his house.
06:18He wasn't breaking in, he was drunk.
06:19No, he thinks he might have done it to all of us.
06:22What?
06:23Oh, come on, you must have known there was something off about him, it's why you stay away.
06:28He's self-centered, he's not psychotic.
06:31No, he's gone mental.
06:33Patrick thinks it's some sort of PTSD.
06:37Patrick says a lot, doesn't he?
06:39No, your dad is out of control and you know it.
06:44Paul.
06:45Yeah, I know about Paul.
06:47Will you stop speaking like that?
06:54Somehow I've always found a way to hurt you and now, well...
07:01Now what I've done is even worse and...
07:06I'm just so sorry, Ruth.
07:08I know it's...
07:09Just turn it off.
07:10...way too late.
07:11Please do.
07:12Oh, God.
07:18That's not a confession, I mean...
07:20I just...
07:22I felt I'd treated her badly, I was just ashamed of my behaviour.
07:26And what did you do?
07:31I took her to see Patrick, I thought she might recognise him.
07:34You took her to meet the man you thought was her stalker?
07:38Mm-hm.
07:39But how did she react when she met him?
07:41Well, she just...
07:42She didn't recognise him.
07:44But I thought you said he was the stalker.
07:46Well, yeah, yeah, but then she didn't recognise him.
07:49Then she didn't actually see his face.
07:51But that isn't the bloody point, is it?
07:53Because he confessed...
07:56He told me to my face.
07:59We have a witness who claims you were screaming at the house, trying to break in.
08:03No, no, no, I mean, I was upset, but...
08:05So you weren't banging on her door, threatening her?
08:09No.
08:12You know what? I think you...
08:14I think you're obsessed with Ruth.
08:16I think Paul found your case full of all these photos inside, and that's why ultimately...
08:19No, that is just ridiculous.
08:21OK, so let's just sum this up. You were never in her bedroom.
08:24No, we've already been through this.
08:26And this isn't your cuff link.
08:27Well, I mean, I don't know. You let me go home, I can find out.
08:30Right, and the case with all the photos of Ruth inside and your initials on the front...
08:33No!
08:34Right, and I assume that this isn't your kitchen knife that was used to kill Paul.
08:41That's my knife.
08:46He's been in my house.
08:51You've got to let me go. I need to warn Alice. I do.
08:55I need to warn her.
08:58Hugh.
08:59Hugh, calm down.
09:00Sit down, Hugh.
09:01I need to go and tell Alice.
09:03Hugh.
09:04And I'll go.
09:05Sit down, Hugh.
09:06No, no, no, no.
09:07We need some help in here.
09:08Because Jenny, Johnny, you've got to get me out of here.
09:10Hugh, it's OK.
09:11No, no, I need to get home.
09:12I need you to sit down, now.
09:14I need to get out.
09:15Hugh, what are you doing?
09:16Stop!
09:17Stop!
09:18Jenny, please!
09:19Get in here!
09:45I'm, um...
09:46I'm going outside for some air.
09:48Yeah, it was nasty.
09:50He's falling apart.
09:52I just...
09:53Look, I don't get why he'd call Ruth if he already knew she was dead.
09:56Because he's having a breakdown.
09:58Or another one.
10:01But he's so convincing half the time,
10:03the jury might believe it.
10:06I don't know.
10:07I don't know.
10:08I don't know.
10:09I don't know.
10:10I don't know.
10:11I don't know.
10:12The jury might believe him.
10:18Alice.
10:19Jenny, you know he didn't do any of this.
10:22I can't talk about this.
10:23No, but...
10:24I'm sorry.
10:25No, but you know.
10:26You do know.
10:27I've got to do this by the book.
10:28I'm sorry.
10:30Alice.
10:31No, no, no.
10:32I know pretty much everyone in here.
10:36Hugh protected you all.
10:38All of you.
10:39When you lost your evidence.
10:41Or when you were scared you were going to get a bollocking.
10:44He is one of you.
10:45And you all know that he is not guilty.
10:48So, why don't you just let him go?
10:50I don't know.
10:51I don't know.
10:52I don't know.
10:53I don't know.
10:54I don't know.
10:55I don't know.
10:56I don't know.
10:57I don't know.
10:58He's not guilty.
10:59So, why is he still down there?
11:02Alice, please.
11:03Okay, yeah.
11:04I'm going.
11:05I'm going.
11:06No one?
11:07No?
11:10Shame on you.
11:29John.
11:32Hey.
11:33Hey.
11:35Have you called my wife?
11:37Has anyone called my wife?
11:40Listen, you need to get Jenny down here.
11:43Get her back down here now.
11:46There's a man out there.
11:47He's Patrick Harbod.
11:48And he needs to be stopped.
11:50And if I'm stuck in here, then he can just do what he wants.
11:53And no one else is lucky, are they?
11:55I need to speak to my family!
12:25I'm sorry.
12:55The police finished with your house an hour ago.
13:01Left a big old mess, I bet.
13:05I could help you tidy up.
13:08Must be awful, Alice.
13:13Knowing he's locked away and there's nothing you can do.
13:18Oh, he'll be home soon enough.
13:26What is it that you like the most?
13:30Is it this bit?
13:31The mind games?
13:34Or is it the part with the knife?
13:39I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
13:42Enjoy it while you can.
13:45I'm going.
13:47I'm going.
13:49I'm going.
13:51I'm going.
13:53I'm going.
13:56We all wonder why you stick with him.
14:00I mean, you're so great.
14:04And if he...
14:08Is it because you hate yourself?
14:11You know, that's why you stay with him.
14:16Tell me, have you ever been loved?
14:21Or maybe you can't be loved.
14:25I don't know.
14:56DOOR CLOSES
15:08Did you get any sleep?
15:10Have you spoken to Alice yet?
15:13Your solicitor's back.
15:15We're interviewing you again.
15:21You know those cuff links again, don't you?
15:22Hugh, please save it for the interview.
15:23Do you remember what I said to you when we got interviewed?
15:25Yeah, you were typically ungrateful.
15:26That's right, because I don't wear cuff links.
15:28I don't, and I never will.
15:30So how come, how come one of those cuff links ends up on her bedroom floor?
15:36And why would I bang on the door loudly of a woman I'm just about to kill?
15:40Why would I alert the neighbours?
15:42Why would I call and leave a message with her when she was already dead?
15:47And how come, how come every single shred of evidence against me
15:51is absolutely, doesn't prove a single thing?
15:56Martin, you know, he's, he's a nice guy.
15:59But he's not a good detective.
16:02DOOR SLAMS SHUT
16:11DOOR SLAMS SHUT
16:21DOOR SLAMS SHUT
16:40He's a stubborn old girl, given that.
16:45I'll crack him.
16:51DOOR SLAMS SHUT
17:15Stupid bastard. Stupid bloody logic.
17:20DOOR SLAMS SHUT
17:33DOOR SLAMS SHUT
17:38Margot?
17:43Thank God. I thought I was being robbed.
17:47What are you doing?
17:49Uh, sorry, I, um...
17:52I, I needed to see you.
17:54I thought you could help with Dad.
17:57Hey, anything.
17:59How is he?
18:01Have you seen him?
18:02No, they won't let us.
18:04No, of course not.
18:07How did you get in?
18:09Your back door was unlocked, so I, I thought you must be in and then all your lights were off, so...
18:15Well, here I am.
18:17You've seen my camera.
18:20Yes, I like to take pictures of my clients and stick them to the wall.
18:25Say cheese.
18:32Uh, yeah, so, um...
18:34Well, we, we don't know what to do, and...
18:36I mean, you, you know Dad.
18:38There's no way he, he could have done something like that.
18:41No, of course he wouldn't.
18:44How did you get here?
18:47Uh, a taxi.
18:49Um, I think I'm just wasting your time.
18:51Don't be silly.
18:53Did you tell your mum you were coming?
18:57Yeah, yeah, of course.
19:00Yeah, she thought it was a good idea.
19:05Well, at least the lens doesn't lie.
19:17Oh!
19:23Let me stay.
19:24I said stay!
19:28Did you call for the taxi?
19:32The taxi you got, did you call them?
19:35And will they have a record of that call?
19:38Because I don't think your mother knows you're here.
19:42And if you end up dead after Paul, well, that's gonna come back to me.
19:46Yes!
19:49And that won't work.
19:52You need to disappear.
20:17Help!
20:18Help!
20:19Help!
20:20Please!
20:21Help!
20:22Help!
20:23Mum, is that you?
20:24He's getting away!
20:25He's running out the back!
20:27Help!
20:28Help!
20:29Help!
20:30Please!
20:31Help!
20:32Help!
20:33Mum, is that you?
20:34He's getting away!
20:35He's running out the back!
20:53Close your eyes.
20:55Close your eyes or I'll kill you.
20:59Oh, you're gonna lie on the ground with your eyes closed?
21:02I'll sit with you for a while.
21:05Then in my own time I'll walk away.
21:09If you move and I'm still here, you're dead, do you get it?
21:16Do you get it?
21:20Go on then.
21:25No!
21:27Tell you this was fun.
21:54I'm sorry.
22:14God, I was stupid.
22:15Well, if you had a knife to your throat...
22:17Yeah, I should have fought him off.
22:19No, he would have killed you and then you would have gone back for Margaret.
22:22I wasn't thinking.
22:23Listen, you saved my daughter's life, I can't thank you enough.
22:26And you got me out.
22:27Yeah, only on bail.
22:28Yeah, and you saw Patrick.
22:29No, see, I didn't see him.
22:32All I can say is that I was grabbed by a man with a knife.
22:35But it was outside his shop and Margaret, she would have testified.
22:38Yeah, she did. That's why you're going home.
22:42Look, we all know what happened, boss, but until we catch him...
22:46You were right about him all along.
22:49He is the stalker.
22:52We finally found him.
22:53No, we found him.
23:01You know him best.
23:04Where do you think he'd hide?
23:08He won't be far.
23:21Come on.
23:32Come on.
23:49She's staying with us.
23:51Oh, shit.
24:03You...
24:05made...
24:07She, um...
24:09She up for a visitor?
24:11Yeah.
24:14Maybe. Listen, I...
24:16I was totally wrong about you.
24:18Oh, no, I...
24:20It's all right, Steve. It's fine.
24:23He was just a genius at messing with people's heads.
24:25Well, yeah, but I've only known him for five minutes.
24:27What was I thinking?
24:29God, even last night he called me to tell me he was heading off on holiday.
24:32Asked me if I'd water his plants.
24:35We were chatting like old buddies when he just tried to kill your daughter.
24:42Tina, I'm so sorry. Really.
24:46He was the best. He really was the best.
24:48He was the dullest man in the world.
24:51And that's why I loved him.
24:54Oh, God, I could be so horrible to him sometimes.
25:01Why did he break into Patrick's house, Hugh?
25:05Why did my lovely, dull hubby do something so crazy?
25:13Well, she's grieving. She's bound to lash out at you.
25:16Yeah, well, I mean, she didn't. She was really kind, you know.
25:21She hardly raised her voice.
25:26You know it's not your fault that he died.
25:29Yeah, Mum's right.
25:30Everyone needs time to grieve.
25:33Including you.
25:34And you did it, Dad.
25:36I mean, everyone knows who he is now. That's over.
25:40No, well, you know, I don't think it is over.
25:44Steve said that Patrick had rung him last night
25:46to ask him to water his plants while he was away on holiday.
25:50Holiday? Hardly.
25:52And he must have known.
25:55Must have known that Steve would tell me.
25:58It's a warning.
26:00He's coming back.
26:14There's nothing here.
26:17There's not a single thing that links him to the stalker case.
26:20I've made them go through the place twice.
26:22Same story with the shop.
26:24We searched every inch.
26:27Some of the drawers upstairs are empty,
26:29so it looks like he filled a couple of suitcases and fled.
26:32Credit cards?
26:34None have been used since he vanished.
26:37I don't know.
26:38I don't know.
26:40None have been used since he vanished.
26:43You don't really think he's coming back, do you?
26:58I'm sorry.
27:10I'm sorry.
27:40I'm sorry.
28:10I'm sorry.
28:41I'm sorry.
29:00He's been in the house.
29:02Means he can come in whenever he wants.
29:05I need you to go away.
29:07Somewhere safe.
29:08Somewhere that not even I know about.
29:11And then?
29:12Well, then it'll all be over.
29:15You can come back. It'll be finished.
29:17And what if we say no?
29:19No, no, there has to be something else we can do.
29:21Call the police.
29:22They're not interested.
29:23Well, if you call them.
29:24Well, what am I going to say?
29:25Well, I found a photograph.
29:26Are you the only one that can stop him?
29:28Yeah?
29:29It's always you.
29:30Why do you have to stop him?
29:32It's always you.
29:33Why do you have to be the hero?
29:35Alice, that's not fair.
29:37No, tell me.
29:38When you saw that photo, how did it make you feel?
29:42Because a normal person would feel scared.
29:46I bet you loved it.
29:47Mum.
29:48Am I wrong?
29:50Hmm?
29:51Alice, I have been chasing this man for years.
29:54And through all that time, you've held me.
29:57You've supported me.
29:59Please, just let me do this for you, for all of us.
30:05Let it be finished.
30:09Then we can have a normal life.
30:25See you soon.
30:30Bye.
30:35Professor.
30:37Be careful.
30:39Please.
30:42And talk to the police.
30:59Okay.
31:30Okay.
31:42Good luck.
31:43This is worth a hundred thousand pounds.
31:45We are all going to have a good cry.
31:49If it goes red, you're all right.
31:51Well done.
31:53I am suffering.
31:56Something's definitely not right.
31:59Hello, Hugh.
32:01How's the family?
32:03I've sent them away.
32:06But then you probably know that already.
32:09I don't know.
32:11I don't know.
32:13I don't know.
32:15I don't know.
32:17I don't know.
32:19I don't know.
32:21I don't know.
32:23I don't know.
32:25I don't know.
32:27I don't know.
32:30I was thinking of popping over.
32:32Well, I'm here.
32:35Come and get me.
32:59Yes.
33:22You took your time.
33:25Well, I can't move about too easily now, can I?
33:28I messed up.
33:32When you tried to kill my daughter.
33:36It's what I do.
33:40You know, you're such a coward.
33:42Where have you been?
33:44I can't let them arrest me.
33:46You get that.
33:48Yeah, that's right.
33:49That one's for me.
33:51That's right.
33:57Come on.
34:03This is our private gang.
34:08So, where have you been?
34:10Oh, here and there.
34:12Couldn't go far.
34:14I'd miss you too much.
34:19You miss me, right?
34:28Keep going.
34:33Sorry, can't get to the phone right now.
34:34I'll leave you a message.
34:36Oh, your Majesty.
34:57I'm sorry.
35:28I'm not coming out.
35:32Really?
35:57Come on.
36:28There's no way out.
36:31We're in here till the police arrive.
36:36You can't get out either.
36:41And I'm the one with the knife.
36:46Well, it's got to end somehow, hasn't it?
36:50What are you going to do once I've arrested you?
36:54Won't happen.
36:58What are you going to say to Tina when she sees you?
37:02Are you imagining happy endings?
37:06Grow up.
37:09Yeah, let me tell you how your story will end.
37:14They'll turn up eventually and they'll find you here, dead.
37:22The man who failed to catch me once again.
37:28I'm sorry.
37:52Now, who's that?
37:55Your backup?
37:58I'd say we have five minutes.
38:05Well, why are they calling if they're already on their way?
38:09Are you lying to me?
38:11Maybe they're not coming.
38:13Maybe you're safe.
38:15I could be bluffing.
38:24Hello?
38:25Hello?
38:27Alice, is Hugh with you?
38:29No, no, he's at home. Why?
38:31Nothing.
38:33No, Jenny, tell me. What is it?
38:35Nothing. Nothing. It's fine. Don't worry.
38:37What? No.
38:41Alex, call me.
38:44I don't think you want to kill me.
38:47So wrong.
38:49You liked the chase too much.
38:52That's why you came back.
38:56You want me to tell you how special you are?
38:58No.
39:00I understand you now. I'm not special.
39:02No, you're different.
39:04You fought back.
39:06You came back because you're a predator.
39:08Chase, stalk, kill, repeat. Chase, stalk, kill, repeat.
39:12Yeah, but the thrill of it, Hugh.
39:14That's why you're alone.
39:22You think less of me because I care.
39:23You think you're better than me because...
39:25because I can love.
39:27I think you're weighed down by unnecessary things.
39:31Well, Alice...
39:33Alice and Marco are the best things in my life.
39:36When I get out of here, and I will,
39:39I'm going to disappear for a while,
39:42and then I'm going to come back.
39:45And I am going to hurt your wife.
39:48I'll come and visit you in prison.
39:50Yeah, I mean...
39:52I wouldn't want you to be lonely.
40:05We've hit the Alex.
40:08Do you know that feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night,
40:11and you reach out, and she takes your hand,
40:14Do you know that one?
40:16You always thought so much of yourself,
40:18pretending to be the big man on the television.
40:22No, I came back
40:24to make sure you saw the truth about yourself, Hugh.
40:27When you're lying on the sofa together on a rainy day...
40:31Don't you see
40:33how we're trapped in this pathetic little room
40:36where you will die?
40:38You couldn't survive five minutes without me.
40:41You couldn't survive five minutes without me.
40:46Yeah, you were falling apart.
40:49Shall I tell you a funny story about Alice?
40:51So, Margot, she was still a baby.
40:53Yeah, she was six weeks old.
40:56Don't.
40:58She was tiny, tiny little thing she was.
41:00No, don't. Don't speak.
41:02And Alice, she was still breastfeeding.
41:04I said enough!
41:08Hugh!
41:10Hugh!
41:20Hugh!
41:23I said enough!
41:26Start with the knife!
41:28Knife!
41:31I said enough!
41:39I said enough!
42:02Hugh!
42:04Hugh!
42:05All right?
42:07Oh, God, Hugh!
42:09Come on.
42:11Now, listen, just put pressure here.
42:13I think it missed the heart.
42:15Okay? Okay.
42:17Yeah, I'll call for an ambulance.
42:19Yeah, all right?
42:22What have you done?
42:25I need that ambulance now!
42:35I need that ambulance now!
42:55I did it.
42:57You did?
42:59You made a right bloody mess of that shit.
43:01That's what you did.
43:06I was thinking,
43:09for Easter,
43:11we could,
43:13we could go to Lisbon.
43:15Okay, yeah.
43:17You've always wanted to go,
43:19right?
43:21You could just book it.
43:24Yeah.
43:26There's nothing stopping us now.
43:28I'd love that.
43:30Oh.
43:32Oh, yeah.
43:36I'm so sorry it took you so long.
43:43But I got there in the end, didn't I?
43:46Yeah.
43:54They'll be here soon.
43:56Stay with me.
44:05It's been a pleasure.
44:35I love you.
44:37I love you.
