The Suspect (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

- Hello?
- Dr O'Loughlin.
We've found what you were
looking for Catherine's journal.
Now I can understand why
you were so desperate to have it.
We're charging you with her murder.
And you're the only alibi I've got.
I-I'm so sorry, Cara.
- Who was screaming?
- The blades.
You know, they cut the air,
and the air screams in pain.
Erm, I'm at your place, buddy.
She, er
She doesn't want to talk to you.
His name isn't Bobby Moran,
it's Bobby Morgan.
He is involved somehow. I know he is.
Look, he's not from London.
He's from Liverpool.
So, Bobby Morgan, I had a look
Right, he was abused by his dad.
A court order stopped him
from having any contact.
Bobby worshipped his dad.
Lenny killed himself.
But it wasn't my case.
I-I'd have remembered him.
Well, you must've sat in
for someone, just for that session.
These are her references:
Dr Gerald Owens, consultant
That's Jack.
He's been having an affair with her.
We know Dr Owens
didn't meet Catherine that night.
- How?
- Just ask your wife.
Why did you lie to the police, Jack?
What?
You told them your affair with Catherine
ended two years ago,
but it didn't, did it?
They think I killed her
because of your lies.
You see, they found her journal
evidence of an affair with a man
that she wrote up
as "JO".
They think that's proof
that I killed her.
But what they didn't know
is that your friends call YOU Jack,
so we've the same initials.
I know you're involved in her murder.
- What?
- You sent Bobby Morgan to me.
- You are part of him setting me up.
- Joe, that is ridiculous.
So why did you lie to them, then? Hm?
Because
Because I didn't wanna be
dragged into the mess
you'd gotten yourself into.
Joe! Joe, stop it. Stop it!
Listen to me.
I had nothing to do with
Catherine's murder, OK? Nothing!
I know all about
Joe you and Catherine.
- No.
- Yeah, I found out Joe!
in Liverpool, you talked her into
applying for a job at my practice.
- You did it!
- Yes, and?
Gave her a good reference, too. Why not?
A good reference?
Cheers for that, mate (!)
Found your stash, by the way.
Yeah.
Is that what this was all about?
Your obsession with Julianne?
Of course that's not
what this was all about, I'm not
I've never fallen out of love
with you
- Never.
- Oh.
You never did get over us
getting together, did you?
You
You've never shown any remorse
or regret or even apology
for the way you betrayed me back then
That justifies you keeping quiet
about Catherine? Oh, right (!)
I didn't keep quiet
deliberately for Christ
- Catherine?
- Yes. OK, yes!
Catherine, she came
to me years ago to talk about Joe,
and we never intended
for anything to happen -
it did and we kept it secret -
but it did end two years ago.
And yes,
we saw each other a few times
after that, but I
I had no idea she kept a journal.
I had no idea.
So, of course, I will go to the police,
and I will tell them she was writing
about me. Of course I will
Why didn't you speak up before?
Well, to be perfectly honest,
and as horrific as what happened
to Catherine was, I
I didn't see how me wading in
was gonna help.
No, no, no, no. You knew by
holding back that it would hurt me
and wreck everything we have.
You knew it!
Well, I had no idea
you would be caught out
- having an affair with a prostitute.
- Oh, an affair?
- You see what he's doing?
- Really? It wasn't an affair?
Enough. It just Enough!
Get out of our house.
When the police told me
about Catherine's journal
I did think you'd been
having an affair with her.
They had proof.
They said it with such conviction.
But not for a moment did I think you
could've done those things to her.
What about Jack? Could he have done it?
- No.
- Yeah, but it's just
whoever called the police
to the cemetery knew we'd be there.
How many people know us that well?
Truly?
You've known Jack 20 years,
that's not who he is.
I need to see her.
Yes.
Thank you. Yeah, appreciate it.
Dr Gerald Owens walked out of the
O'Loughlin house a few minutes ago.
He'd been inside about three hours,
and airports, railways, ports,
all on alert for O'Loughlin.
He'll probably do a walk-in with
a team of lawyers and a PR wizard.
See
he tries to blame Bobby Moran,
but that didn't work, right?
So he switched to pointing at Dr Owens,
but, of course, that didn't work either.
O'Loughlin would've known that.
He wrote this article for a magazine
about delusional behaviour
in certain criminals.
A cop from Montana
investigating his own crime
convinces everyone that
he's trying to get at the truth.
He lives the part,
tells everyone around him
that he's the one being set up.
Right?
He follows all kinds of leads.
He even convinces himself
that he's in real danger
as he's hunting this killer down,
and he gets away with it.
And only after he dies,
do they find out
how guilty he really was.
Now
if that's O'Loughlin's game plan
what's his next move?
When she's sparked out,
she's really out, huh?
Yeah.
How did you get past the police?
The Franklins' compost heap.
It's up to the top
of our back fence easy climb.
I know about the baby.
How are you feeling?
Up and down. Dizzy sometimes.
And you? Have you got your medicines?
Yeah.
Good.
Can I stay?
Put my head down for a few hours?
Yes, but you have to tell the police
Cara's your alibi.
I will.
I'll tell them
as soon as I've warned Cara.
No, tell them now.
I need to be there
when the police arrive, the
They'll see her
as an unreliable witness, they'll
So just take care of her first,
forget about us?
Hey, that's not what I'm saying.
Look, if I just go there
and warn her, then
No. Just go to her!
Then we can talk.
Oh, God Cara.
Sir! We've just had an alert.
A break-in at Cara Velasco's flat?
- A neighbour just called it in.
- Velasco?
The sex worker
who introduced me to O'Loughlin.
I put a flag on her address
because of her connection to him.
Yeah, that could be him.
He's looking for somewhere to hide,
she wasn't there,
and he broke in. Right. Let's go.
I'm on Hayes Lane.
First look suggests she was strangled.
The, er, neighbour who called it in
saw a man running away
and driving off in Velasco's car.
The description fits O'Loughlin.
And do you think they were more than
just therapist and ex-client?
Yeah, that's what it looked like to me.
He's killed again.
We've got to find him.
Get O'Loughlin circulated on the PNC,
tag him with a warning:
violence, possible weapons.
Let's get a list
of all the possible addresses
he might run to
and send officers to all of them,
- ASAP.
- I'll get on it, sir.
Erm So, er, previously,
I told you that I'd had an affair
with Catherine
and that that had ended
a couple of years ago, and that's
that's all true, but I think
for purposes of absolute clarity,
I-I-I probably should've added
that we
we did continue to see each other
a few times subsequently.
How many times?
I'm not en-entirely sure. It was, er
it was a few times,
but the point is she would've,
erm, written this all up in
in her journal.
The "JO" she wrote about
in her journal that's me.
She knew me as Jack. Jack Owens.
So, erm, when she wrote the initials
"JO", that relates to me
and not to to Joe O'Loughlin.
And you've known about this ever since we
first interviewed you about Catherine McCain?
No, absolutely not. No.
I only found out that she had a journal
when, erm, Joe told me last night.
You were with him last night?
Yes, yes. I was at his at his house.
Well, d'you know where he is now?
Well, I assumed he was still there.
I-I thought he'd be coming in
this morning t-to see you guys
and straighten everything out.
I only came in t-to
to back him up, so
What's going on?
- Did O'Loughlin put you up to this?
- Excuse me?
Did O'Loughlin tell you to come in
and tell us about this?
Well, yes.
Obviously, he wanted me to clarify
that Catherine was writing about me
and not him, so, erm yes.
- You've helped him out before, right?
- What d'you mean?
You were a character witness
in his defence against allegations against
sexually assaulting Catherine McCain.
- Yes, but that was a totally
- Two ARVs are on their way, sir.
Right. Thank you, Dr Owens.
We may need to question you again.
Right, I
- Room clear!
- Room clear!
Room clear!
Joe left here just after nine last night
to see Cara Velasco.
I haven't seen or heard from him
since he went to warn her
that he was going to use her
as his alibi.
Cara Velasco was found dead last night.
What?
How?
She'd been strangled.
A man of your husband's description
was seen running away from her flat
- No. No. No.
- We know this is difficult for you.
No! CARA was his alibi! He would not
Of course he wouldn't have killed her.
Your husband claiming
that Cara was his alibi
- might not be true
- She absolutely was his alibi!
He would not have lied
about that to me
because it drove us apart.
Julianne it is understandable,
not wanting to accept that your husband
is not who you thought he was.
I know exactly who my husband is!
Julianne, he's killed two women.
Help us to stop him killing again.
Where would he go for help?
- Sorry, there's no bacon.
- Dad
Can we get back
to what's happening here?
I read your latest book.
Wasn't bad.
I'm banking that (!)
- Big compliment (!)
- Ah, no, it was a
was a good, easy read.
All the simple things in life
we take for granted,
- other people have phobias about
- Of course, it's not proper medicine.
Psychology still being
a branch of witchcraft.
- Where's Ann?
- She's out protesting.
- About what?
- Noisy neighbours.
You don't have any neighbours.
What's wrong with you?
Clenching your fists
and fumbling with the cutlery.
Is it Parkinson's?
Yeah.
Spot on, Dad.
How long?
Got the diagnosis a couple of weeks ago.
God, Dad, I'm in so much trouble.
Look, I know you couldn't kill anyone.
Then I went to see the woman
that could've proved that.
I see her there,
lying on the floor, strangled.
I just panicked, Dad. I ran and
Now traces of me
are gonna be all over her flat,
what am I gonna do?
Look why would someone
want to set you up for murder?
Why would anyone hate me enough
to do that? I don't know.
I don't know.
He's in a bit of a state,
to be perfectly honest,
and that he just needs a bit of help.
I-I-I Joseph, I don't understand,
why is he running from the police?
Look, I don't know, but
I'm not gonna turn my own son in!
Look, I am just asking the question!
Didn't he tell you anything?
You frightened the life out of me!
Oh look at you.
How's Julianne and Charlie?
Yeah, yeah, they're good. They're good.
Julianne is pregnant.
- Oh, that's marvellous.
- Yeah.
It's just been difficult lately. With
the false accusations and everything
that's been happening,
we've been having a hard time of it.
Look, I-I need to make a move.
The police are gonna be looking for me.
It's best that I'm not here.
Before you go
ven a ver el jardin.
"Come and look at the garden."
I've been taking Spanish lessons,
come on.
If you can't face telling him,
you know you can tell me.
Honestly, I wish I could, I've no idea.
Why didn't you answer his calls?
Worried himself into a ditch.
Breaks my heart
the way you two are strangers.
We've been strangers a long time.
He never blamed you
for not getting your mother
out of that house.
You were only a child.
He never looked at me the same way
after it, either.
Honestly, you two are impossible.
Now, this is all different.
We hired an odd-job man to help out.
Oh, we converted the barn.
Come and have a look.
Dad said you were out
protesting against noisy neighbours?
They're planning a wind farm
up on the ridge.
Yeah, I know wind power
is the way to go,
but that ridge is the wrong place.
Now, he took me to have a listen
to some turbines,
and the air was
screaming in pain. Screaming!
What did you say?
When?
Just now. You
You said, "screaming in pain".
W-What?
Where did you get this?
Ow, Joe, you're hurting me!
Who gave this to you?
Bobby.
Bobby?
The odd-job man.
He likes carving,
he did us both a whale.
He sent it in the post a few days ago.
Here, take it. You can have it.
- W-When was he here?
- About a year ago. Why?
And you're still in contact with
Yes, he he phones,
and he writes now and then.
What's the problem?
- How did you meet him?
- Well, he just turned up.
You know, we get a lot
of walkers passing by.
We got chatting.
Well, he only wanted room and board,
and he got on so well with your father.
He's the one
who got me learning Spanish.
- Where's your phone?
- It's in the house.
Joe!
- I need a phone!
- What? Er
Any phone, your phone. Quick!
Vamos a practicar el verbo "hacer".
Un ejemplo,
"Que hiciste la semana pasada?"
Kam, could you translate, please?
Er, were you asking us,
"Where am I going next week?"
Wrong tense, and, no, I wasn't. Anyone?
Yes, erm Robert.
Yeah.
Erm, you were asking,
"What was I up to last week?"
- That's what you said.
- Yes, Robert, good translation.
Well, I was up to no good.
Muchas gracias. Erm,
I'm awfully sorry to trouble you,
but, erm, it's a bit
of a mad question, actually,
but are you going
anywhere near Kentish Town at all?
- Er, yes, I live there.
- Oh, fantastic!
Oh, do you think it'd be possible
to get a lift?
I've I've hurt my ankle.
Oh, OK. Yeah, sure, of course.
Muy amable.
What room did he stay in?
Does that matter?
Your old bedroom.
In one of my sessions with Bobby, he
he asked me who would win in a fight
between a lion and a tiger.
It's from one of the books upstairs.
One of the kids' books.
It It's a trick question.
They both live
in different continents, but
that's where he got it from.
I thought it was a coincidence,
but i-it's not. He's
He's playing me.
That's what he was doing here.
He came here to get details from you.
Did-Did Did he ask you
questions about Mum?
Or-Or the date I go to the grave?
Anything?
Dad!
Your father likes to talk about you
because you hardly ever visit
or call us.
Did you talk to him
about Catherine McCain?
- Who?
- Dad?
Did you?
Yes.
Oh HE SIGHS
H-He talked to me about his history
of self-harm, and
I remembered her name
because it was the first time
we talked about your work.
How hard you worked to get her to stop.
I was proud of you!
You've done pretty well
for someone who's hardly ever
turned up to class.
Oh, thank you.
Growing up, my mother used to, erm,
speak a few phrases,
but the same ones over and over again.
Well, she's sick now.
She's actually dying,
and she's only 42. It's quite sad.
I'm sorry to hear that.
She used to think that speaking Spanish
made her sound more exotic.
She used to, like, flirt with other men,
and that used to, like,
really upset my dad.
So, in Espanolo,
I'm gonna tell her
how much I hate her
and what a nasty, horrible bitch
she's been because she has.
She's no linguist,
but I think she'll get the gist.
SHE GASPS There's no real justice
without retribution,
don't you agree, Mrs O'Loughlin?
HE CHUCKLES Please let me out, Robert.
You know what, I've
I've enjoyed sitting here with you.
It's been nice.
You know your husband
was supposed to help me out?
Did you know that?
He lied to the police
and told them that
I'd killed someone when I didn't.
You OK?
He asked for a lift. He's scaring me.
Come here.
- Thank you (!)
- Get out. Out!
I'm I'm sorry I upset you.
- I'm just angry at your husband, that's all.
- Just go away!
You heard her, leave. Now!
I'm calling the police!
And tell them what?
Move!
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Do you want me to call the police?
No thanks.
- It's me.
- Oh, Joe.
SHE INHALES SHAKILY Oh, God. Thank God.
What happened?
I think that patient of yours
B-B-Bobby?
I think he was in the car with me
just now.
I thought his name was Robert.
He's been attending my classes
for a couple of months, off and on
Are you hurt?
No. But God knows what would've happened
if DJ hadn't been there.
He said you lied to him
about the police.
I didn't No, I-I-I didn't lie.
W-Where's Charlie?
She's at school.
OK, listen to me. You need to go
and get her now, and-and
- bring DJ with you.
- OK, OK.
D-Did Bobby say anything else?
He He talked about how he was
gonna visit his dying mother
and how horrible he was gonna be to her.
There's a car coming.
Joe! Joe, listen to me. Joe, the poli
The police think you killed Cara.
I told them she was your alibi,
but they didn't believe me.
Police.
Jackson's Wood.
He's a good lad.
Very shy, erm,
he helps out doing odd jobs.
Erm
Listen, I'm I'm so sorry, you know.
I didn't I didn't mean
to upset Mrs O'Loughlin, honestly.
I, erm HE GULPS
Please don't take me away again.
Not now.
It's OK. Calm down, Bobby. Thank you.
Can we just get one thing straight?
Is it Bobby Moran or Bobby Morgan?
I was I was born Morgan,
but I I changed it to Moran.
- Why?
- Erm
Because I wanted to become
someone else. I
I didn't have a great childhood
if I'm honest.
All right. And
how have you upset Mrs O'Loughlin?
Erm Well, sh-she gave me a lift.
What were you doing in her car?
Well, I've erm
I've actually got a bad ankle,
and she's my Spanish teacher.
How long has she been your teacher?
A few months.
Erm Dr O'Loughlin suggested
that I-I take up Spanish lessons.
It was It was his idea?
Well Well, yeah, like, when I, erm
I first went to him,
he thought it would do me good,
you know, to try something different.
I thought it was quite a good idea,
really. Er
And I I told Mrs O'Loughlin
how angry I was at her husband,
for telling you guys all
all those lies about me. Er
So, erm sorry about that.
Did you visit and then stay with
Dr O'Loughlin's father
- and stepmother about a year ago?
- Yeah, yeah, I did.
Why did you do that?
Well, that's how all this
came to be. Erm
I was, like, on a walk, and, erm
I, like, stopped
and started talking to them,
and they were, like, really friendly,
and they sort of took me in.
And then, Mr O'Loughlin, he
he kept on going on about how good
of a psychologist his son was,
and, erm
and how he'd helped a lot of people.
So I got myself referred
to Dr O'Loughlin,
and then that's how all this
started, really. Erm, so
Where were you yesterday evening?
- Why?
- Just answer the question, Bobby.
I I was here.
I mean, you can ask anyone.
I-I don't really go out much.
The only time I did go out
was to go to Spanish lessons, but
I suppose that's all over now,
isn't it, really?
I think Morgan's telling the truth.
He's got cast-iron alibis
for both murders.
But is he involved somehow?
Yeah, only in as much
as O'Loughlin has set him up.
We've got the warrants
for the phone taps.
Second murder must have helped
push them through.
- Fair old walk home for you.
- Ah!
I'm from the generation that walks.
Now, this is my much laughed at
"just in case" stash.
Thank you.
Now, I've left Ann telling the police
that Bobby tricked his way
into our family,
that they were totally wrong about you.
Will this get me to Liverpool?
Well, it smokes a bit, but it should do.
Why Liverpool?
Julianne said that Bobby
planned on visiting his mother.
But he hates her, so why go and see her?
That's why I'm going.
I've gotta find out.
Well
They'll never suspect that anyone
would be daft enough
to try to escape in
the slowest vehicle in the country.
Dad.
Hi.
You have a patient here, Bridget Aherne?
- I'd like to talk to her, please.
- Are you family?
No. No, I'm a psychologist.
We haven't asked for a psychologist,
and I can't see Bridget wanting one.
It's about her son, actually.
I didn't know she had one.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's important.
A family is trying to heal itself,
and there isn't much time.
You a doctor or a priest?
I'm a psychologist.
SHE SCOFFS Bit late for that.
Yes to drugs, no to talking.
I'm aware you're very ill, Bridget.
Just there.
Started out the size of a pea.
Big as an orange now.
No.
You're all right where you are.
Be hours before they come in.
I'm here about Bobby.
When was the last time you saw him?
SHE SIGHS Why, what's he done now?
Serious assault.
To a woman. He didn't know her.
Argument over a taxi escalated.
A psychologist, yeah?
- How is he?
- He's angry.
He's born angry. He always blamed me.
Is that why you're here?
- Come to give the mother a good kicking?
- No.
- I'm trying to get at the truth.
- Of what?
Of why Bobby's so angry.
You accused your husband
of sexually abusing Bobby.
Yeah, cos he did.
I read the witness statements.
There's a lot of inconsistencies, Bridget.
Is it possible
it could've been someone else?
It was all properly done.
Everyone got exactly what they deserved,
especially that Lenny Morgan.
He was weak.
Bobby talked about
how much it hurt Lenny
that you went with other men.
"Death by a thousand cuts"
is how he put it.
I wonder why you did that?
Where did you learn
how to punish like that, Bridget?
Did you pick it up
from your own childhood?
I just loaded the gun, I didn't fire it.
It was people like you did that.
Doctors, schoolteachers,
social workers, lawyers
- Do-gooders.
- So, we all got it wrong, did we?
The judge didn't think so.
Because he saw a frightened little boy.
Bobby mimicked a woman's voice
in our sessions.
I think it was your voice.
He'd say things like,
"Come along, Bobby.
"Tell the man what happened to you,
and we can all go home."
Who was that man
you were talking about, Bridget?
Erskine. Another weakling.
- Did you get Bobby to lie to Erskine?
- Bobby lies all the time.
Why does he hate you, Bridget?
Cos we all end up hating our parents.
No. We don't.
You got Bobby to lie to Erskine,
didn't you?
Your husband never assaulted Bobby,
did he, Bridget?
Did he?
I'm 42, and I am dying.
I am paying the price
for anything I've done!
Can you say the same?
Oh
You need to leave.
- Yeah.
- Right now!
All right, love, all right.
All right. That's it.
- Hello?
- Rach? Hi, it's me.
I'm sorry, Rach, but I won't be able
to make your wedding.
Well Yeah, I kind of figured that.
I need your help.
Hang on. Can I have two minutes? Thanks.
Listen Joe, the police
have been to the practice.
They're asking if we know where you are.
I I'm trying to track down someone
I used to worked with in Liverpool
years ago.
Rupert Erskine is his name.
He's retired now, he's moved away.
- Rupert Erskine?
- Yeah.
It's really important I talk to him.
I just can't stay in one place
long enough to research him.
I think he's moved south.
London, I reckon.
And, yeah, I have a memory of him
being high up in the bee world.
He's He has always banging on
about bees.
- I don't know if that helps.
- Right.
Rupert Erskine. Bees. London.
OK, great. Cheers, Rachel.
Talk to you soon.
- Take care.
- Bye.
Come on.
No. Joe, you cannot be here.
The police came to my house
looking for you
I spoke to Bobby's mother.
I think we got it badly wrong.
Joe, please. Leave. You've
Bobby was abused, but not by his father.
His mother pointed the finger
at Lenny to get rid of him.
What What's that got?
Yeah, I don't know
what it has to do with me.
Bobby was Erskine's case.
It wasn't mine.
Erskine wrote the report
that accused Bobby's dad. I
I need to see the file again, Mel.
Please, Mel. Please.
I-I think I'm missing something.
Mrs Morgan, erm
I appreciate that you're ill, and
I know this is hard for you, but
do you remember anything he said to you?
He said that
He said that my son, Bobby,
had attacked a woman
that he was in a lot of trouble.
I found that distressing.
And he asked daft questions
about Bobby's childhood.
They do that, don't they,
psychologists?
Anything goes wrong, it's always
about somebody's childhood, or
how horrible the parents were.
The alarm went off. I went in.
He was standing over her.
And all her tubes had been pulled out.
Do you think he pulled them out?
She wasn't making any sense.
She was very distressed.
- I chucked him out.
- How long was he with her?
- Not long.
- Hm.
Thank you.
What did O'Loughlin want with her?
Was he trying to find something out?
Trying to stop something
from coming to the surface?
It's quite possible
that the nurse came in
and stopped him from killing. Again.
We need to locate
the rest of Bobby Morgan's family,
- just in case they're on the list.
- OK.
Oh, we just intercepted a call from
O'Loughlin to Dr Rachel Fenwick.
- Who's she again?
- One of the partners at the practice.
Er, she said that he asked her
to trace someone
that he used to work with years ago,
Rupert Erskine.
We've got an address for Rupert Erskine
somewhere in South London.
Good. Let's get to him first
before O'Loughlin does.
Great.
Bobby, can you draw your dad?
Put him into your picture?
No. I just wanna go home.
I just wanna go home.
It's not there.
HE SIGHS It's just
I did it all by the book.
I only interviewed him once.
What if I'm not seeing something
because it's gone missing?
Like Erskine's psych report
saying that Bobby was abused
by his dad is here, but
Where's the report
that got submitted to the court?
- Oh, God.
- What?
Bobby Morgan submitted a request
to view his file.
When?
Two years ago.
So he could've taken documents
from the file?
When he looked at the file,
what names would he have seen?
H-he would've seen your name,
my name, Erskine's,
the teacher who referred Bobby
to the police.
- Who else?
- Lucas Dutton.
- Lucas?
- Yeah, erm He's off sick.
He never recovered
from his daughter's death.
How did she die?
- A drug overdose.
- Could she have been drugged?
Mel?
Who was driving the car
that killed Boyd?
Why?
- It was an accident.
- Right.
But did the police trace them?
It was joy riders in a stolen car,
so no, they didn't
Right, but did the police
get a description of the driver?
- Why are you asking?
- Well, maybe we're all being punished.
- Look when he
- It was an accident, Joe!
OK.
- Joe.
- Yeah?
So, we take copies
of all of the documents
that get submitted to the court.
Erskine didn't sign the final report
that got put in front of the judge.
Why not?
Come and have a look.
- Jesus, that's me. I signed it.
- Yeah.
But
But it wasn't my case.
Why did I sign it?
So, it was August.
Erskine was probably away on holiday.
I must have asked you
to sign it instead.
And Bobby saw my signature.
He holds me responsible
for the courts cutting his dad
out of his life.
Oh, Jesus! I condemned his dad
to being a paedophile.
What?
- I killed his dad.
- No!
Oh, Jesus, Mel. What have I done?
Who are you calling?
Louise Elwood, one of Bobby's teachers.
Perhaps she knows
if anything happened to the teacher
who referred Bobby
to the social services.
Here, look
That's Rupert. That's Erskine's number.
Call him. I-I can't get through.
Hi, Mrs Elwood?
This is Dr O'Loughlin here.
I'm wondering if you could give me
a call back
whenever you get the chance
on this number, please.
Hello?
Mr Erskine? Police officers.
Hello?
Mr Erskine?
Thank you so much for your help, Louise.
Yeah yeah, you, too. Take care.
Still no answer from Erskine.
So, the teacher who called in
the police and social services
about Bobby's bruises
- Eileen Gorski.
- Mm-hm?
Her parents died in a house fire.
- When?
- A year ago. It was a firebomb.
The police said it was an accident,
wrong house targeted.
What if it wasn't the wrong house, Mel?
What if it wasn't an accident?
Bobby looked at the file,
saw all our names,
and planned his revenge.
This is all a punishment.
