That was brilliant. Do you

Come on.
[PARTY CHATTER]
Excuse me.
I'm looking for my wife.
You haven't seen her, have you?
I might have.
It's just I-I always find a wedding
goes downhill somewhat
if the bride leaves early.
Well, I can't dance in this thing.
I have to take it off.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
So no unexpected guests?
I knew he wouldn't come.
You need to go and entertain our guests.

Maxwell says his divorce
has finally gone through.
At least we won't have to put up
with him and Jules bickering anymore.
[CHUCKLES] He's been a star,
pushing yours through the way he did.
I didn't even know you could
get a divorce in absentia.
[SIGHS]
This might sound crazy
but, um, what if we
were to view their house
now it's on the market?
Jess and I have just moved in here.
Well, I know, but a clean
start might do us all good.
[SIGHS]
But I like this place.
This is Tom's family home.
I've always liked it.
The girls love it.
You must like it, too.
Well, yeah, but
[SIGHS] I don't know what
we're talking about, then.
Okay.
Okay, we can look.
But I'm not making any promises.
Thank you for listening.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
No. You won't be here later, remember?

Oh. Congratulations.
How's your very modern family?
The girls settling in nicely?
A few minor squabbles, but overall,
they're pretty much BFFs.
We got lucky with those two.
You really have no idea, do you?
[UNEASY MUSIC]
I wouldn't make it up, Beth.
You know Marnie and I were close.
BETH: Tom had loads of women.
Why would I care if he was
having an affair with Marnie?
Why would you tell me that
the day before I'm getting married?
Don't you ever stop?
I felt you ought to
know before the wedding
since Jess is now yours.
What's Jess got to do with it?
Tom is Jess' biological father.
She and Poppy are sisters.
Wow. Great, Jules.
Adam doesn't know.
Marnie knew it would destroy him.
You should keep it that way.
[FAINT] All right. Gave them a bath.
They've been fed. Read them stories.
They are in bed, but they're not asleep.
So they very much are excited.
[NORMAL VOLUME] Right, I'm off.
You all right?
Just marrying again, it's
it's a big deal, isn't it?
I think it's just hitting me now.
Yeah.
I was a bit worried you
were rushing into things.

She had lots of affairs.
Tom told everyone everything.
But it was always Tom this, Tom that.

So easy. So willing.
That's how those girls
got themselves killed.

Yeah. Why?
No reason.

EDGEWORTH: Have you heard of The Vault?
ANNEKA: It's meant to
be one hell of a party.
For the right kind of people.
JADA: My guess, most of
them don't want to be traced.
Do you know a Phoebe Alderton?
BETH: No.
EDGEWORTH: How did you

How are you?
[TOM SIGHS]
Got the duty solicitor
and no bail, Beth.
I'm fucked, aren't I?
Unless you've got something.
When I first found
your phone, I broke it.
Got it fixed
by Adam.
He's the only person who could
have put that video on there.
I searched his stuff.
He killed her.
Adam killed Marnie.
All he had to do was hide her EpiPen.
He killed all of them
Ella, Phoebe, Katy.
He set you up.
I found Polaroids he'd
kept of their dead bodies.
Adam. I knew it.
Fuck. [SIGHS]
Has he been arrested?
Haven't called the police.
Wh-Why?
Why, Beth? This is it.
This is This is how
we get back to our lives.
Aren't you interested in why?
Why your best friend would do this?
Why he would murder his wife
and frame you for the others?
I-I don't know.
Who fucking cares?
He's a psychopath, fucking sociopath.
Wh-What are you
Jess.
Adam knew she was yours.
Whatever I did or did not do,
whatever he fucking told you,
it does not excuse the depraved
fucking shit that he did.
Do you think that
you're a good man, Tom?
Doctor? Pillar of the community?
You assault women.
- You are sick.
- Fuck you.
You corrode everything around you.
Beth
you need to get this
evidence to the police.
I need to be cleared.
There is no evidence.
I destroyed it.
It's gone.
TOM: What?
[POUNDING ECHOES]
TOM: What?
Beth
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
What the fuck?
I trusted you. I gave you my phone.
It's all still on there.
Maybe you shouldn't have.
What?
I've got two daughters
to think about now,
and I won't have them growing
up with a father like him
or a father like you.
- Beth. Beth.
- I did just fine without mine.
Beth.
Beth, you ca
Come on. You can't fucking leave me.
Beth.
Oh.
Beth, please. Fuck.

How are you?
Why are you here?
I may have accidentally on purpose
borrowed some of Maxwell's files,
including the ones about you.
They make very interesting reading.
