(SCREAMING) People are struggling to get past the idea of living in an old asylum.
Bad things happened here and that doesn't just go away.
(SCREAMS) Do you see ghosts? I don't just see ghosts.
I see how they died.
(SCREAMING) You need to tell me what happened.
You're right.
My dad.
(SCREAMS) This needs to be opened up.
I don't want it opened up.
I'm gonna sort it out.
So I'm in turmoil and I have a grudge to bear .
.
but I've got loads of passion.
You're not taking this seriously.
Anyway, this might not be about you The cards have not yet revealed their subject.
Ooh.
Wow.
Jesus, Ryan.
What the hell did you put in that? We didn't have vermouth, so I used grappa.
We didn't have any tonic, so I used grapefruit juice.
I think it's zesty.
OK.
Knight of Wands.
Ready for battle and full of fire.
But it's upside down, so it's reversed.
What does that mean? He has feelings for someone that he's keeping hidde and these are frustrating him.
He needs to unburden himself before he causes pain.
Isitaboutme? Probably.
Or a father or a male friend or a brother.
Sorry.
I didn't mean Let's do the next card.
This is his destiny.
Death - that's all I need.
Damn it! (SCREAMS) Hold still.
Hold still! Ryan! Thank you.
Youallright? Yeah, I just Why don't you run that under some cold water or something? OK.
Ryan, what the hell are you doing? Playing with tarot here is like sending a distress signal to every weird spirit in the building.
(DIAL TONE) Hello.
Emergency services? Hello? Maybe the candle fell over.
Do you reckon? What's going on? Small accident with a candle in Molly's room.
Jesus, Mol.
What have I told you about burning those stupid hippy candles in your room? Don't think I won't charge you for damage.
Kate, Molly was burnt.
Are you all right? Yeah.
You're pretty much a nightmare to live with right now, Kate.
What's it to you? Iliveheretoo.
If this is about me and you, it was a mistake.
Let's just pretend it never happened.
But it did, though, didn't it? Just leave it, Jed.
Fine.
I can't believe how moody Kate is being.
Don't worry about her.
I'll say it was my idea.
Sometimes I think you're the only person around here who actually cares.
You OK now? Yeah.
I think I just need to get some sleep.
(FAINT SPEECH FROM TV) I've been getting text messages.
That's why I came back here.
I kept getting this message saying 'Save Kate'.
Whofrom? I dunno.
It's weird.
A four-digit number.
It's like I don't get the full message.
Like it doesn't come through right.
'Kate dad danger'.
Yeah.
What do you think? 2-4-3-9.
I only just found this.
I think it's your mum.
What? Are you sure? It was in Grace's file.
2-4-3-9.
Yeah On this map of the old hospital, I think this is the empty ward.
2-4-3-9.
I need to go and take a look.
Do you want me to come with you? No, no.
I'd rather go alone.
ON RADIO: # PIXIE LOTT: Mama Do Mmmm.
Scrambled eggs.
NEXT to the rye bread, not on it.
Grilled tomatoes, and mushrooms.
How's that? Perfect.
How did you remember? You're gonna make someone an amazing husband one day.
How are you feeling? Much better.
I think I just needed to get a good night's sleep.
Who writes letters any more? It's my old school friend Moon.
She's just had a baby.
Moon? Her parents were proper hippies.
Anyway, it's a really sweet story.
She was totally unlucky in love until she realised the love of her life was her best friend Tom Just woke up one day and realised.
And they're married now, and they live in a gorgeous cottage, and they've got a lovely baby girl.
Such a good idea, marrying a friend.
Far less hassle.
Pass the ketchup.
I'd love to live in the country.
I'd certainly like to get out of here.
Why are you fretting about that girl? Maybe something terrible happened to her while she was under our roof.
We don't know that.
No one knows what happened.
Don't feel guilty.
We only own the place.
The builders were saying they reckon someone saw her getting into a white van.
Why didn't you tell me? It's only pub chat.
They haven't traced it or anything, so who knows if it's true? Do you wanna go out? You need to get out and so do I.
I'm allright.
We don't have to talk about anything heavy.
Just hang out.
How's the arm? It's pretty minor.
I'm sorry for being such a bitch.
Did you just say sorry? For one night only, missy.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
All right, girls? Where are you off to? We're just off out for a drink.
Come on, Mol.
Let's go.
Are you all right, Molly? (MAN SCREAMS) Molly? I must be freaking out after that burn.
But that was so weird.
Sorry I didn't take the accident more seriously.
It must have really shaken you up.
I didn't think it had.
Ryan, can I have a word with you? In 1979 there was a fire in the asylum that nearly burned the place down.
There were three people who died and it was started deliberately by one of the patients.
Do you know who it was? No, but the sooner we find out, the better for Molly.
(SCREAMS) I've never had nightmares like this.
Maybe you need a break.
Go away for a few days.
No.
I need to get over it.
I'm being silly.
You're not being silly.
It's serious.
I feel terrible.
Why? You haven't done anything.
I love you, Mol.
I don't want to see anything bad happen to you, ever.
You and your pa - posh lunch.
I've made a reservation and I won't take no for an answer.
Thanks for the posh nosh.
Thought we'd take a trip down memory lane.
Fish and chips in the park after school.
I used to watch you play on the swings, sit here marvelling at the passing of time.
And you were growing up so quickly.
Look at you now.
I'm proud of you, love.
I know I don't tell you often.
No.
You don't.
I'm not good at the emotional stuff.
You needed a mother for that, and I know how hard it was not having her around.
Why don't we ever talk about her? What'sthepoint?Sheleft.
You don't need reminding.
Why didn't she keep in touch? I'venoidea.
She left both of us.
You think I haven't always wondered why? Are you OK? You seem out of sorts.
I know living back in the building maybe has brought up memories.
Too right it has.
What was it really like, Dad? You must know the stories I've heard.
So many terrible things went on there.
I know.
They did.
They really did.
If I could have changed one thing, I would have acted sooner to stop it.
I regret that so much.
I want you to know that.
Your grandfather was He was a complex man.
I'm not sure I'd say he was a kind man.
Certainly not as a father.
That's why I wanted to come back.
Do something good with the place.
And we're not doing a bad job, are we? You and me? One of the Bedlam inmates all those years ago was Michael Pearson who burnt down his family home in 1977, killing his father, his mother, his sister, and the sister's boyfriend.
His sister's body was so badly burnt, they had to use dental records to identify it.
He killed her and set the body alight.
That's why the house burnt down.
Why would someone want to do that to their own sister? I don't know.
He'd moved out a few weeks previously.
Maybe he just hated his family.
Maybe he was just a nutter.
No-one's 'just a nutter', Ryan.
Dad.
Hm? I found something quite odd.
This belonged to Zoe.
Where was it? In the incinerator.
After you burned a load of stuff.
What? Well, why didn't you tell me? I didn't know what to think.
What do you mean? Kate, you don't think I had anything to do with that girl going missing? Kate? I don't know.
Well, what's it doing in there? We'll give it to the police and they can find out.
It's crucial evidence.
That girl might be lying dead somewhere.
Jesus, Kate.
I can't believe you'd think that! I'm sorry, Dad.
I wasn't thinking straight.
Come here.
You need to take that to the police.
You do it.
I hope you're not keeping Jed from his work, Ryan.
Lots of history in this stuff.
Different times then.
Do you want to see how it worked? No.
I'm all right.
Sit down.
Go on.
It's only a chair.
You see, if you had a patient that was physically strong prone to violence you needed to restrain them first.
You know, I don't think this is a good idea.
Then you were free to examine their troubled minds, do whatever was necessary.
I'm actually mildly claustrophobic.
Oh, dear.
It seems to be stuck.
Warren! Really.
Oh, no.
My mistake! No harm done.
Hi.
Hey.
What's brought this on? Well, I read that cooking was therapeutic.
So tonight everyone's having the Molly special.
Which is? Pesto quiche.
You know, pesto and quiche aren't friends.
They're not even on speaking terms.
This is very tasty.
I reserve the right to order pizza.
What's this? Oh, give me that.
A cottage by the sea? You're not thinking of moving out, are you? It's just an idle thought.
Ryan and I would like to live together some time.
You already live together.
Ahh! OK, OK.
Is this like your two friends who just got married and moved to a little cottage? You and Ryan? Mr and Mrs McCallister You do know he's gay, right? Really? So why hasn't he come out, then? OK.
He is sensitive and in touch with his feminine side, but so what Maybe he is attracted to boys, but sexuality's a sliding scale and love is just love.
Don't make a fool out of yourself, Mol.
What? So no one else is allowed to have a relationship because you're single? You're the last person I'd take advice from.
The coroner's report on Michael Pearson's victims.
Remains of petrol found on Deborah Pearson's body indicate it was used as an accelerant.
Tell us something we don't know.
It's not what he used, it's where he poured it.
What do you mean? He's a coroner.
This stuff was never in the press.
When they found Deborah's body, her entire lower half was burnt away That's where he set her alight.
Jesus.
OK.
So - So there's loads of forensics data that's been pulled together on this.
It's consistent in almost all the cases.
When a man does this to a woman, the killing is sexually motivated.
Yeah, but it was his sister.
He was sick enough to set her alight He's hardly gonna worry about crossing the line.
So you think he was trying to sleep with her? I think it could be the reason that he's fixated on Molly.
Ryan, he thinks Molly IS Deborah.
(DOOR OPENS) Ryan? Ryan! (COUGHS) Ryan! (COUGHS) Ryan! Ryan! What is it? I don't know.
It was so horrible.
I was so scared.
I thought I was going to die.
It felt so real.
What you're feeling - it's as real as anything.
I think I should probably try and get some sleep.
If you like, I'll stay.
You don't have to.
I want to.
Really? Thank you.
It's for me as much as you.
Do you think I'd be happy leaving you? Kate, go.
I said go! Now! No! Keep going.
Stop! Now! You don't know what you're doing! Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Ryan! Molly? Ryan! The door's stuck, Mol! Push it from the inside.
Hang on.
I'm coming.
Jed? What's in there? What can you see? There's nothing here.
Jed? What have you found? What's happening? Jed? Jed? It was just a dream.
You're OK.
You're OK.
But you have to leave the flat.
Only if you come with me.
I can't.
Why did you creep out of my room when I was sleeping? I made a mistake.
Which part was the mistake? The creeping out? Or what we did before? You know what? Don't bother.
You don't have to tell me what you were thinking.
It's obvious.
What the hell! Make her feel good, make her think I really want her.
I did.
Listen to you! You can't stop yourself! I've been screwed over by some low-lifes before.
But at least they never thought they were doing me a favour.
That's not true.
Then why won't you give us a chance What you doing? I'm going to stay with my friends.
You can't go now.
Oh, please! I may be naive, Ryan, but I know what's good for me.
And nothing in this place is.
It brings out the worst in people.
Mol - No! (HEAVY CLUNK) Jed? Jed? Jed? Get out of there! Get out now! Why? You afraid of what I'll find, Dad? You don't know what's down there.
You lied to me.
I didn't kill her.
I burnt the things she left behind.
Why? I didn't want the police digging around.
Your grandad - he did things to the inmates.
Psychopaths, child killers - these were evil people.
You knew? I was scared.
I was so scared.
It wasn't just him.
Where you are now, that's where they were taken.
What's down there now? What about the others? What about Grace's daughter? I never knew about them.
I swear on my life.
Not until after he killed himself.
And Zoe? She had nothing to do with Grandad.
Did you take the necklace to the police? No! Kate, please! You've got to look at me.
Look at me! You have to trust me.
You think I can ever trust you again? (BEEP) 'Bad things happened.
That doesn't go away.
Zoe never came home last night.
I don't scare like I used to.
I know what's good for me and nothing in this place is.
It brings out the worst in people.
The missing girl - someone saw her get into a white van.
' (VAN HORN) Jed? Jed? Jed? Jed! Kate, you have to go back! You've found her, haven't you? No, Kate.
Listen to me, all right? You have to leave now.
So where is she? Kate, this is nothing to do with Zoe, all right? Leave now.
(SCREAMS) Jed! (SCREAMS) Jed! Mum?
