Viewpoint (2021) s01e04 Episode Script

Como estas, bambino?
Hey!
Oh
So, he said he was home with Kate?
No hard for him to sneak out.
And if he did, where would he go?
Taylor Gardens?
Or the other place.
I don't know where.
Best case?
Carl leads us to the "other place"
himself
and we'll find something
resembling evidence.
When will you arrest him?
Well, we're building a case.
For now, that means
everything carries on as normal.
Including you.
Do you think you can do that?
Marmite or marmalade?
You should not sneak up on people
like that!
I, erm, I made you a coffee.
Ah, nice. Nice.
- Thank you.
- It's OK.
Stay! Stay You can keep tabs
through the window.
Just give yourself a minute.
OK.
Right, come on then, love!
You're gonna be late.
Chloe's mam's picking you up.
Oh, is that Greg?
We're hearing a lot about, uh
time has passed.
The chances
of finding Gemma alive
But she's alive.
Tomorrow's her 30th birthday.
We were supposed to go to
my restaurant to have dinner.
Now
Poor Mr Sullivan.
I wanna say this
Hey Pancakes for lunch.
Ooh, pancakes.
My mum used to make me pancakes.
Is she dead?
Your mum.
Yeah. She died when I was
a little bit younger than you.
Were you sad?
Yeah. I eventually realised that
if you miss someone,
the best way to keep 'em with you
is to live in a way
that would make them proud.
- Does that make sense?
- Yes.
Right, come on, then.
Chloe will be waiting.
Here you go
Ah, I love crocodiles!
It's an origami fox.
I made it just for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Right, come on, then.
Don't forget your coat.
Love you. Bye.
Is that what you really think?
That That Gemma's dead?
I'm sorry.
Oh, for God's sake.
Yeah, you forgot your lunch.
Zoe Sterling? Orla Bowers.
From Child Social Services?
I've left several messages.
- Er, come in.
- Thank you.
- Er, take a seat.
- Oh
Caitlin's at school.
Sorry, what's this about?
We've received an anonymous referral
from a concerned individual.
There was evidence submitted
depicting a situation
where you were intoxicated.
What evidence? What did I do?
I'm sorry, I can't disclose that
at this time.
This is the first
of a few conversations we'll have.
We all want what's best for Caitlin.
We've already spoken to St Isaacs
and
Her school?
What, you can do that?
Apparently, Caitlin's often late.
And on more than one occasion,
you appeared to have been drinking
prior to picking her up.
Oh, come on. We all have a drink.
There was support, too.
A Ms Gemma Hillman was very positive
about you and your care for Caitlin.
Like I said, our priority here
is to safeguard your daughter.
I would never hurt Caitlin.
We're not saying you would.
But you'll appreciate
we do need to investigate this.
Did you hear all that?
Yeah.
I don't know what I've done.
We had a wine. Maybe two
But you'd know, wouldn't you?
If you did something really bad.
You'd know, right?
Of course. Of course you would.
But you didn't, right?
I don't know. I've had blackouts.
Hardly ever, but sometimes.
What is it that they think I've
done? She said there was evidence?
Hey, hey. Relax. Relax. OK?
She said it "depicted" something,
OK?
What does that mean?
I dunno. A photo, maybe. A video.
Who would've done this to me?
Oh, shit. The pancakes.
I gotta go.
Morning.
She forgot her lunch.
Did you get my text about tomorrow?
You're the only one
that's not replied.
Er, yeah, I did. It just feels
a bit weird, to be honest.
You know, with Gemma still missing.
I know, but that's why
it's so important
we go ahead
with the birthday dinner.
I mean, to walk away from it is
it's like saying she's gone.
That we've given up.
- But we're her friends, right?
- Of course.
So, we don't give up.
Not while there's hope.
It will really help Greg, too.
Er Yeah. Yeah. OK.
Thanks, Zoe.
I knew I could count on you.
Right, I better give Einstein
her pancakes.
Oi!
Sorry. I forgot.
It's all right. You'll need it if
you're gonna cure the common cold.
I'll take that, love. Someone'll
steal it if you bring it in.
Martin to Stella, come in?
Martin to Stella.
Carl is on the move! Come in.
Oh, my Stella?!
You OK?
Were you sleeping with her?
Hey, hey, hey!
Did you kill her?
We know Gemma didn't drive,
but she had registration documents,
and in Carl's name?
Yeah. It was the log book
that got him interested.
But it was the key
that really got his attention,
I just don't know why.
The headmaster did say
he saw Gemma in a white BMW.
Let's see what DVLA says.
Meanwhile, CID are looking
for the actual motor.
These two know something and they'll
both be at the restaurant tomorrow.
Sir, I think I wanna run
surveillance on the birthday dinner.
A mobile operation?
Do you wanna?
- I'm just gonna grab a coffee.
- Sure.
How are things with Sarah?
Fine, boss.
When me and Siobhan, um
Back in the day
You know how civilians don't get it?
Well, she didn't get it.
She kicked me out.
Even now, I have
an unpleasant physical response
to the sight of a travel tavern.
But we made up.
Put a real pep in me step, yeah?
- I thought maybe that you and
- No.
No, sir, Sarah and I
are very much the same.
Still separated.
You hear about Pavel?
- Where is he?
- He's gone off radar.
CID are on it. They'll root him out.
Martin, if you want it, it's yours.
Mobile surveillance
at the birthday party.
Thank you, sir, I appreciate that.
If Carl's got any I's to dot
regarding Gemma, bit of stress
might prompt a move.
Nothing like a room full of people
toasting a girl you've just killed
to get the pits pumping, eh?
She's just over there.
Yeah. I think.
Blood and pus
are going to ooze out of her body,
they're going to start
eating the eyeballs, the worms will,
and then they'll start
eating the flesh.
Stop it!
You can't be upset about it now,
Gemma's dead.
Hey! What's going on?
She's speaking about Gemma,
saying that she's rotting in
What?
- ..worms and things.
- That is totally inappropriate.
She shouldn't be saying
things like that.
I was just explaining
the decomposition rates.
That's enough stories.
By now she'll be bloating, internal
fluids leaking from her body.
- Stop it!
- Oi, get away from her!
Why am I not surprised?
Right. So it was you then.
You called them.
What are you talking about?
Mum.
Mum, can we go?
Yeah.
Are you OK?
- That's Fiona's car.
- What, the red one?
- It's electric.
- Wanna take a look? Ooh.
- It's so shiny
- Yeah.
OK, I'm gonna go inside.
Hey. You can't just go around
keying people's cars, OK?
Listen, if social services
found out
It was Fiona that called them.
I just
I just keep thinking, y'know,
what if I did hurt her?
Maybe Tim can have her for a bit.
You know, he's been
really supportive with me
throughout all this, makes me think
maybe I've been too hard on him.
I dunno
OK, listen. You didn't hurt Caitlin.
Huh?
You didn't hurt Caitlin.
OK?
What is it?
It's a video from social services.
- What?
- Hey
I need you to understand something.
You cannot tell anyone,
under any circumstances,
that you've seen this, you hear me?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah. I promise.
Did you see that?
That's Gemma, a week before she
Mum!
Oh I
I don't even
I don't even remember that.
So, Fiona followed us home
and filmed that? No.
What, then?
OK, watch.
- OK, you see that lamp post there?
- Yeah.
Come here.
It's that one,
with the flower basket,
right outside the Tuckmans.
It was Kate?
Yeah. You think of any reason why
she might wanna do that to you?
I thought she was my friend.
OK, look. Listen. You can't
confront her over this, OK?
We can fix it.
Hey
Don't go to the restaurant today.
It's Kate's gig, and you're
not gonna be able to avoid her.
No. It's Gemma's birthday,
and I'm going.
No, come on
Hey I promise I won't even
mention anything to Kate.
- No
- Come on.
You can trust me, Martin.
I promise.
OK.
Martin?
Yeah?
Hey.
Thought I'd make an effort.
Yeah, wow, you, uh
Yeah, you look You look nice.
Nice? OK
Well, I'm glad
you're gonna be there.
If you need me to listen in
on any conversations,
or move something
that's blocking your view,
I can totally do that.
Yeah, I think we'll be all right,
but thank you.
Hey! What do you think?
Hey, what was that about?
You know you can talk to me, right?
Hm?
Caitlin, I'm not a bad mum, am I?
What do you mean?
Just
you know I'd never hurt you.
Hm?
I need you to believe that, OK?
- I believe you. You're a good mum.
- Yeah!
Thank you, darling.
- I like your dress.
- Thank you.
She's got one just like
Who has?
Dad's friend.
Who's Dad's friend?
Here we go.
Hi, everyone.
Just say something, Vic,
so I know I've got you.
Can I see the drinks menu, please?
- Are you all right?
- Hey.
Are you OK?
Yeah, I just keep thinking Gemma's
gonna walk through the door.
Sorry, here. Let me take this.
Oh, thanks.
Cheers.
She's not wearing it.
Hm?
Red?
Er
Do you know what, I'm all right.
Hiya.
Vic, can you stop eating, mate,
you sound like a hungry hippo.
Fiona was just saying
her electric i3 got vandalised.
Oh, gosh, I'm sorry to hear that.
OK. A toast.
Gemma wherever you are,
I know you'll be back with us soon.
We all believe that.
Happy Birthday, Gemma.
Happy birthday, Gemma.
Thank you. Thank you, everyone.
Thanks.
Eat up!
It's a birthday, isn't it?
It's not a funeral.
Janice, just be careful
what you're saying.
OK.
Tim!
Oh, brilliant
Hey, all.
Hiya.
Ah, halloumi.
Remember that place in Ibiza, Zoe?
The plate of
Are you serious?
I thought we were all right.
Is this about the holiday?
Is that why you?
No, it's, erm, it's cos I know
about your pregnant girlfriend.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Zo.
Do you know, it's not your shagging
that annoys me.
- It's your bullshit.
- Zoe
You couldn't just admit it was over,
could you?
You had to keep me hanging on.
Just in case.
Look, what are you even doing here?
You never come to anything!
I asked him.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Tim, it might be best if you
- Zoe, could I have a word?
- Get off me, Kate.
Come on, this is about Gemma.
And what would you know about Gemma?
I don't know what you mean?
Then why don't you ask Carl,
cos he knows all about her.
- Ah, Pavel!
- Oh, shit! Incoming.
Can someone grab him before he
No. No, no, leave him.
He might be helpful.
Excuse me.
Vic, I need ears on what they're
saying right now, please.
Now.
A leopard never changes its spots.
Carl!
Carl, wait!
- We're on!
- Showtime! I got this, bud.
All mobile units stand by.
Subject is on the move.
Headed towards St Peter's Square.
I've picked him up.
He's heading south, to the library.
Heading east on Library Walk.
Heading through the concourse.
He's just headed
into St Peter's Square.
Looks like he's on the phone.
OK, I need someone else
to pick him up.
I have eyes on.
Hey.
I love your hat, man.
I'm entering The Mills now.
Radio silence until further notice.
Over.
Who's there?
I've been made.
You need to get in here now.
Get down!
Armed police! Get down, now.
On your knees. Get down!
Get on the ground now. Get down.
Show me your hands!
Let me guess,
you want to know why I reported you?
Is that right?
Yeah. You had no right.
I love Caitlin more than anything.
I would never do
You were too drunk to walk, Zoe.
Caitlin had to help you inside.
Have you been drinking much lately?
I noticed you didn't touch a drop
yesterday.
I gave you a wake-up call, Zoe.
You needed it.
Oh, my God.
I thought you were my friend, but
- God, you're a bitch, Kate.
- Maybe.
But I know what I'm talking about.
My dad was a drunk.
He was a he was a very bad drunk
And I wish
somebody had reported him.
If it wasn't for Janice,
I'd have been screwed.
But Caitlin
She's only got you. Hasn't she?
You know what, it was a mistake
coming here.
What is your problem, Zoe?
All right, yesterday you found out
your husband was cheating on you.
And then last night, you were
uploading photos of yourself.
So, now you're judging me?
I just wanna know how you can put
that massive thing aside.
What are you trying to put aside,
Zoe?
- Tim?
- What?
- This has got nothing to do with Tim.
- Shit, if it's a fling,
park it.
If it's not, do something about it.
Like what?
Carl and I
are going to have another baby.
Look, I shouldn't have told you
about Carl and Gemma the way I did.
Zoe, there's nothing you told me
that I didn't already know.
Look, Carl's not perfect.
But I love him.
From the first moment I saw him,
I looked at him
and I thought, there's a man
who's stronger than my dad.
He was the only person
that could stand up to that bastard.
So, I'm willing to overlook
the occasional fling.
As long as that's all it is.
Hello?
OK, explain it again.
The white BMW was Gemma's?
It's OK. Go ahead.
He's letting Fiona represent him?
His neighbour?
Mm-hm.
I bought it.
So Greg wouldn't know.
Gemma gave me the cash.
As I've told you,
there was no affair.
I was giving her driving lessons.
That's all.
In a left-hand-drive BMW?
I told you, she needed it for Spain.
She was going to teach there.
Somewhere in
Anywhere she could be away from him.
And by "him", you mean Greg?
Obviously.
He had those violent mood swings.
We're releasing Greg.
He's no killer.
He'd believe anyone that told him
Gemma's still alive.
She was walking on eggshells,
Gemma would say.
Anyone could see
she had to run away.
So you never actually believed
she was missing?
She was set to leave the Monday
after she disappeared.
I thought she'd just left earlier.
But then Greg showed me the car key.
And I wanted that car to be gone
then she'd be safe.
But it was there,
where she'd left it.
She hadn't gone anywhere.
This doesn't explain why you were
so upset at the lock-up.
We know about you and Gemma.
This earring was found
in the back seat of the car.
The lab says the hair found on it
belonged to Gemma.
There were traces of male DNA, too.
In 24 hours,
we'll know if it's yours.
We're currently conducting tests
on the rest of the car.
It's pointless denying your affair.
We put the seats down,
when we had sex.
It must've come off.
I'm getting the impression
you're buying this love story.
They were both crying at the lockup.
OK, let's turn the clock back.
When your first wife, Anna,
disappeared, your pal Pavel
provided you with an alibi,
which he's since retracted.
Would you like to tell us now
where you were?
You don't have to answer that.
I was home.
In bed. Hungover.
I know how you people think.
I didn't want to,
y'know, get in any trouble.
Me and Anna
She was my first love.
I would not have been capable
of even
Of doing what you're thinking.
I believe you, Carl.
Killing someone isn't easy.
But the really hard part
comes after.
Getting rid of a body in such a way
as not to leave a trace?
I don't believe
you'd know how to do that.
But Janice Baines would.
These were taken on the same day
that Anna disappeared.
Good old Janice.
Do anything for a Tuckman in need.
I didn't know Janice back then.
What about Kate?
Did you know her back then?
I'll take that a yes.
Pretty, well-connected Kate.
Better prospects with her
than with Anna, right?
Kate is a friend of mine.
I think Mr Tuckman
needs alternative representation.
Interview suspended.
When I showed him that photo,
I hate to say it, but
he really didn't know
Janice was there.
The shock was real.
I don't think he killed Anna.
And Gemma?
If nothing comes up before the clock
runs out, let him go.
KATE, IN DISTANCE: For fuck's sake!
Please, madam, calm down.
Take a seat and I'll go and find out
what I can for you, OK?
I am asking you for five minutes
with my husband.
What are you not understanding?
Madam, please, calm down,
take a seat.
Five minutes with my husband!
He's helping us with our enquiries
at the moment.
Well, how long is he helping you
for, for God's sake?
Please, madam.
Go and get me somebody now,
this is ridiculous.
Calm down, take a seat.
This is ridiculous. You're a joke.
Get me your senior.
- I'll see what I can find out for you.
- Pathetic! Christ
Why are you even talking to Kate?
I just wanted to clear the air.
Why, because you told her that Carl
was having an affair with Gemma?
I think she knew about that anyway.
- She knew about the affair?
- Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah. It's the way she said
he always has "slip-ups",
like she accepts he cheats.
But I don't think
she does accept it.
This was filmed
a week before Gemma went missing.
Watch. There, see that?
Looks like a friendly
pat on the back, but look closer.
There.
You'll only see it
if you're looking for it.
Kate Tuckman filmed this.
Kate knew that
Carl was having an affair with Gemma
at least a week
before Gemma went missing.
She told Zoe as much,
and here's the proof she knew.
- OK, where did this come from?
- Westbury WhatsApp group.
What, you don't get it? Kate Tuckman
does not like to share her man.
Not before, not now, not ever.
Remember, she was having an affair
with Carl
when he was still married to Anna.
That's why Janice was in Westport.
She was helping Kate.
Kate's here now.
In the building with Janice.
- Yeah, let's not bring her in yet.
- Why not?
Because that photo of Janice,
it rocked him.
Look at him.
He's in there now creating
his own theories in his head.
It might help us to find out what.
If we're all
thinking the same thing?
That his wife has a habit
of killing women who get in her way.
Yeah. We are.
OK. We've got a few hours
before his new solicitor arrives.
But in the meantime, let's
keep a track of all the pieces.
Yes, ma'am.
Zoe?
I need to ask.
Did you know about Tim and
whatever the hell her name is?
Eve.
So, you did?
Caitlin's a child.
She should never have been asked
to keep a secret like that.
It was Tim that asked her. Not me.
Yeah, but you knew about it!
You knew, and you did nothing.
That's pretty cowardly, Martin.
- You are a coward.
- I'm not a coward!
I'm not I'm not a coward.
OK, you know what?
Two years ago
I was at a domestic
and I was supposed to search a man
and I didn't do it properly.
And he had a knife, and he
stabbed my partner in the back.
When Hayley was on the ground crying
and asking me for help, y'know,
I just
I just froze.
I literally couldn't move.
Well, you were scared.
Hey, anybody would've done the same.
No. No.
I wasn't supposed to be anybody.
I was supposed to be
a police officer.
So, is that why you left
Yeah.
You know, surveillance is just
It saved me. It's changed me.
I know, I know I'm not a coward.
I know I am not that guy anymore.
You know, when I went
and saw that social worker
I told her things
that weren't true.
Things that, if they were found out,
could cost me my job.
And I did that because you asked,
I did that for you.
Yeah.
I get it.
I get it.
Hi, this is Martin.
Please speak after the tone.
Martin.
Mate, look, er, don't come in.
I'm at Zoe's now.
I'll do your shift for ya.
You can thank me later.
Oh, sorry, Zoe.
I didn't see you there.
I should've knocked.
It's fine.
Stella?
Hey, mate. What are you doing here?
I rang you to say
I'm gonna do your shift for you,
so you better pop off
before I change me mind.
No, you don't have to
You've covered for me enough times
before. This makes us even.
OK, er
Well, you do owe me.
So, thank you, ma'am.
Yeah, see you.
