KIRAN: Really fitting into our
little community, isn't she?
And so good of you to pass
down your mother's cafe to her.
Tell me you're standing
for school governor.
Now you're finally back in
the village, it makes sense.
Hmm? We need you. I mean,
it's a family tradition.
Your mother was on the board
practically until she died.
What did she say?
"Education, the one thing
that can never be taken away from you."
- Precisely.
- [LAUGHS]
I don't know.

heard at court yesterday
- apparently Katy was strangled?
- Oh.
And Alison Mayhew has been
missing for four weeks now.
She was last seen on
the exact same beach.
Hah. Darling, you're not
suggesting it's a serial killer?
I'm only telling you what I heard.
Well, I wouldn't jump
to any conclusions.
Well, the word from some
of the parents I know
is that Katy had many boyfriends,
so take from that what you will.
Uh, "many boyfriends"?
Always falling out in the
pub with some man or other.
I mean, if you put yourself

Interview with Beth Fairchild
on the 19th of May, 2023.
The time now is 16:32.
Officers in attendance, D.I.
Edgeworth and D.S. Pearson.
Right. We'll try and keep this brief.
Can I see Tom?
In good time.
Is he still under arrest?
Second interviews tend
to last a little longer.
I'm sure you understand.
EDGEWORTH: So can you tell me
how you and Dr. Fairchild met?
Why on earth do you need to know that?
EDGEWORTH: Just answer the questions.
We will get through this much quicker.
[SIGHS]
At a bar in London.
He, um He tripped over my foot.
Uh, apologized, poured me a drink.
That was that.
It's been six years now.
EDGEWORTH: And would you say
that you're happily married?
Very.
EDGEWORTH: In every way?
What does that mean?
Well, is it a healthy
marriage, would you say?
[CHUCKLES] How is this relevant?
If you're asking if we still fuck,
then the answer is yes.
Sorry, I don't understand how
Has Dr. Fairchild, your husband,
ever been violent in any way?
What do you mean? No.
To anyone?
No.
Do you recognize this ring?
You can pick it up.
You'll notice the initials T.J.F.
What are your husband's initials?
Yeah, this is Tom's.
Do you have any idea
why this would be found
on Katy Asquith's body?
Uh, well, Tom lost this a while ago.
- That's convenient.
- It was his dad's.
They've got the same initials.
Um, he thought he'd left it at work.
She must have stolen it.
Why would you assume that?
Well, he takes it off
while he's seeing patients,
so Katy could easily have swiped it.
Tom would never have
given this to anyone.
And why would Katy want a ring
with your husband's
initials on it? Surely she
Well, she obviously wanted
it enough to take it.
Maybe she did out of revenge.
Why would she need revenge?
Well, Tom fired her.
That's why she was suing him.
Okay, so you were aware that
she was suing your husband.
Of course.
There are no secrets between us.
And how did he feel about that?
I mean, no doubt troubled.
No. No, he was confident.
I mean, he didn't think
that she had a case.
- Really?
- Well, she was upset.
Obviously about being fired.
And that's why she

If I went to the surgery,
then I'd say hello,
but that was about it.
Your husband's already given
us his version of events
of the night of the 15th of May.
I wonder if you can give us yours,
just see if they tally.
Well, that's easy. I
was in all night with Tom
and Poppy, our daughter.
He got back from work about five-ish.
I made an early dinner,
and then he worked in
his office all night.
EDGEWORTH: And what were you
doing while he was working?
I put Poppy to bed,
and then I watched TV.
And he never left the office?
No, never.
Okay, so if you were
upstairs and then watching TV,
how how do you
know what he was doing?
He could have left.
Because he was there before
and after I put Poppy down,
and that only took ten minutes.
And I went past his office
to get to the kitchen,
where I watch TV.
He never left.
And you're absolutely
positive about that?
Yes.
And you're aware that it's an offense
to make a false statement and
that you could be charged
Okay, I don't think
you should be worried
about me making false statements.
Maybe getting out there
and finding the real
killer is more important.
Am I free to go now?
Mm-hmm.
Actually, no. There's
just just one more thing.
Um, do you know an Alison Mayhew?
No. Why?
Does your husband?
No. Unless maybe she
was a patient of his.
You sure about that?
Of course you are.
Don't have any secrets, do you?

you to worry about it.

this here, do you, right now?

are you keeping from me?
Katy was an addict, okay?
We gave her every chance at the surgery,
and then we had to let her go.
Why would she think she
had a case against you?
I have no idea. Maxwell told
me it would never go to court.
I swear to you, all I
did was try to help her.
I booked her into rehab.
I persuaded the doctors
to give her another chance.
She fucking threw it all back at me.

Has Dr. Fairchild, your husband,
ever been violent in any way?
What do you mean? No.
To anyone?
No.
Do you recognize this ring?
You can pick it up.
You'll notice the initials T.J.F.
What are your husband's initials?
Yeah, this is Tom's.
Do you have any idea
why this would be found

Uh, well, Tom lost this a while ago.
- That's convenient.
- It was his dad's.
They've got the same initials.
Um, he thought he'd left it at work.
She must have stolen it.
Why would you assume that?
Well, he takes it off
while he's seeing patients,
so Katy could easily have swiped it.
Tom would never have
given this to anyone.
And why would Katy want a ring
with your husband's
initials on it? Surely she

it enough to take it.

I put Poppy to bed,

No, never.
Okay, so if you were

how how do you
know what he was doing?
He could have left.
Because he was there before
and after I put Poppy down,
and that only took ten minutes.
And I went past his office
to get to the kitchen,
where I watch TV.
He never left.
And you're absolutely
positive about that?
Yes.
And you're aware that it's an offense
to make a false statement and
that you could be charged
Okay, I don't think
you should be worried
about me making false statements.
Maybe getting out there

killer is more important.
Am I free to go now?

just just one more thing.

No. Why?

No. Unless maybe she
was a patient of his.
You sure about that?
Of course you are.
Don't have any secrets, do you?

What do we do now?
We got nothing.
[WAVES CRASHING]
[DARK MUSIC]
What you doing, baby?
Nothing.
No, show me.
- No. [LAUGHS]
- Show me. Show me.
Show me. Show me.
Mm? [LAUGHS]
Did I ruin the surprise?
Didn't even give me
a chance to wrap them,
- did you?
- I love them. [LAUGHS]
Thank you.
[MUFFLED OFFICE CHATTER]
and that's what we need to find out.
corroborate the witness statement
[MUFFLED OFFICE CHATTER]
You didn't think to mention
that Katy was suing you.
Yeah, well, I didn't want
you to worry about it.
[SCOFFS]
And they'd interviewed you before,
but you didn't want to
tell me that, either.
I knew you'd react
like this, Beth, so
Mm.
Oh, I found your new porn stash.
A lot rougher than you usually like.
Jesus. Really? You want to do
this here, do you, right now?
I'm thinking, how many secrets
are you keeping from me?
Katy was an addict, okay?
We gave her every chance at the surgery,
and then we had to let her go.
Why would she think she
had a case against you?
I have no idea. Maxwell told
me it would never go to court.
I swear to you, all I
did was try to help her.
I booked her into rehab.
I persuaded the doctors
to give her another chance.
She fucking threw it all back at me.
I just wish you'd told me.
[TENDER MUSIC]
I could have helped.
I'm sorry.
I love you.

Dr. Fairchild, you're free to go.

[BETH PANTING]
No.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What?
- Wait.
- What?
Wait.
What's wrong?
Come here. Come here. Come here.
Hey. Hey, hey.
Slow.
[SIGHS]
[PANTING]
Yeah. Grab my hair.
I don't want to, Beth.
[DARK MUSIC]
[TOM GRUNTING]
[BETH MOANING]
[TOM SIGHING]
- Yeah, that's him.
- I don't need your excuses.
You went in all guns blazing
and came out with nothing.
All of the evidence pointed
towards him, Mayhew, Asquith.
Are you a rookie?
[OFFICE CHATTER]
With all due respect, sir, I
You're free to go.
Uh, that's the wrong file.
Have a look at this digital copy.

I hope they find the person
who did this as much as you do.
can't just pretend he
hasn't been arrested for murder.
You've been lying to me.
There's no point in denying it.
It'd just be a pity to lose everything.
Phoebe and he were together
up until she died.
Ollie Turner's been on a
downward slide for a while.
OLLIE: You can't trust
these people, man! No!
TOM: You helped find
the real killer.
