Original subtitles

Bruce expecting us, yeah?

She said she'd be in all morning.

Yeah, I'm just so sorry.

I know, it's way too late.

He's involved.

I don't know. He was there.

I know what you are.

I'm going to put you away.

Under his bed there's an old case. What do you think's inside?

There are polaroids of every victim that he has killed.

God, God, God.

You?

I'm his wife. What's happening?

Okay. Yeah.

Mom, they're not going to let us see him.

It could be hours, days.

Just let's just come back when we know they'll let us see him.

He needs me here.

I got a call from Paul earlier.

That's why I went round.

He said that he'd taken a case from Patrick's house.

It's this case, right?

Yeah.

And you say that this case belongs to Patrick Harbaugh?

Mm -hmm.

Why did you need to see the case so badly?

Well, because I thought that it contained polaroid photographs of

all his victims.

So photos taken by the Ripton stalker?

Yeah, yeah, I thought that that could prove who he really was.

Hugh, why does the case have your omissions on it?

Well, it...

I've got no idea.

That's Patrick's case.

That's not mine.

I mean, it's been under his bed in his house all this time. We found your

fingerprints on the case here.

Well, you would have done, wouldn't you? Because I opened it when I was at

Paul's. We didn't find anyone else's.

I didn't kill Paul.

He's a good friend. I suppose you didn't kill Ruth Parker either.

No.

Never, no.

You ever been in her bedroom?

Of course not.

Do you recognise it here?

It's a couplet that's found under the mattress in Ruth's room.

Listen, I've been in the kitchen many times, but never...

I've never, ever, ever been in a bedroom. I've no idea how that got

Jenny, can't you see what's happening here? See, I'm being framed.

You hook to me. No, listen, listen.

Can't you see what's happening? He's just doing it again like he did with

Declan. It's just the same playbook.

Eat this, you're cuffing. No, can't you see what's happening?

Can't you see what he's doing?

I'll pick up the twins from the crash.

But I can go if it would help.

You.

Dad didn't kill Paul.

There's no way. Oh, there's no way. Yeah, I see.

Listen. Patrick caught him breaking into his house.

He wasn't breaking in. He was drunk. He thinks he might have done it to all of

us.

Oh, come on. You must have known there was something off about him. It's why

stay away.

But he's self -centred. He's not psychotic. No, he's gone mental.

Patrick thinks it's some sort of PTSD.

Patrick says a lot, doesn't he?

No, your dad is out of control and you know it.

Paul! Yeah, I know about Paul.

Will you stop speaking like that?

way to hurt you and and now well now now what i've done is even worse and

um just so sorry ruth i know it's way

too late please oh god

that's not a confession i mean i

just uh i thought i treated it badly i was just ashamed of my And

what did you do?

I took her to see Patrick.

I thought she might recognise him. You took her to meet the man you thought was

her stalker?

How did she react when she met him? She didn't recognise him. But I thought you

said he was her stalker.

Yeah, but she didn't actually see his face, but that isn't the bloody point of

it, because he confessed.

He told me to my face.

We have a witness who claims you were screaming at the house, trying to break

in. No, no, no. I mean, I was upset, but... So you weren't banging on her

threatening her?

No.

You know what I think, Hugh?

I think you're obsessed with Ruth. I think Paul found your case full of all

these photos inside, and that's why ultimately... That is just ridiculous.

OK, so let's just sum this up. You were never in her bedroom.

No, we've already been through this.

And this isn't your cuff link.

Well, I mean, I don't know you. Let me go home. I can find out. Right, and the

case with all the photos of Ruth inside and your initials on the front.

No! Right, and I assume that this isn't your kitchen knife that was used to kill

Paul.

That's my knife.

He's been in my house.

You're going to let me go.

I need to warn Alice.

I do.

I need to warn her.

Hugh. Hugh, calm down. Sit down, Hugh.

I need to go and tell Alice and Margot.

Sit down, Hugh. No, no, no.

We need some help in here. Jenny, Jenny, Hugh. You've got to get me out of here.

Hugh, it's okay.

No, no, I need to get home.

Hugh. I need you to sit down.

Now. I need to get out. Hugh, what are you doing?

Stop. Stop. Jenny, please.

Get in here.

Go outside for some air.

Yeah, it was nasty.

He's falling apart.

Look, I don't get why he'd call Ruth if he already knew she was dead.

Because he's having a breakdown.

Or another one.

But he's so convincing half the time, the jury might believe it.

Alice, Jenny, you know he didn't do any of this. I can't talk about this.

No, I'm sorry. No, but you know. You do know. I've got to do this by the book.

I'm sorry.

Alice. No, no, no. I know pretty much everyone in here.

Hugh protected you all.

All of you.

When you lost your evidence.

Or when you were scared you were going to get a bollock in?

He is one of you, and you all know that he is not guilty.

So why is he still down there?

Alex, please. OK, yeah, I'm going, I'm going.

No one?

No?

Shame on you.

Listen, you need to get Jenny down here.

Get her back down here now.

There's a man out there, it's Patrick Harbottle, and he needs to be stopped.

if I'm stuck in here, then he can just do what he wants, so no one else is

looking, are they?

I need to speak to my family!

The police finished with your house an hour ago.

Left a big old mess, I bet.

I could help you tidy up.

Must be awful, Alice.

Knowing he's locked away and there's nothing you can do.

Oh, he'll be home soon enough.

What is it that you like the most?

Is it this bit?

The mind game?

Or is it the part with the knife?

I've absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Enjoy it while you can.

We all wonder why you stick with him.

I mean, you're so great.

And he's...

Is it because you hate yourself?

Yeah, that's why you stay with him.

Tell me, have you ever been loved?

Or maybe you can't be loved.

Did you get any sleep?

Have you spoken to Alice yet?

Your solicitor's back.

We're interviewing you again.

You know those cufflinks you get? Hugh, please save it for the interview. Do you

remember what I said to you when we got into the interview? Yeah, you were

typically ungrateful. That's right, because I don't wear cufflinks. I don't,

I never will. But how come, how come one of those cufflinks ended up on her

bedroom floor?

Why would I bang on the door loudly of a woman I'm just about to kill? Why would

I alert the neighbours?

Why would I call and leave a message with her when she was already dead?

And how come, how come every single shred of evidence against me doesn't

single thing?

He's a stubborn old guy, I'll give him that.

I'll crack him.

Margot? Thank God.

I thought I was being robbed.

What are you doing?

Sorry, I needed to see you.

I thought you could help with Dad.

Hey, anything.

How is he?

Have you seen him?

No, they won't let us. No, of course not.

How did you get in?

Your back door was unlocked, so I thought you must be in, and then all

lights were off.

Well, here I am.

You've seen my camera.

Yes, I like to take pictures of my clients and stick them to the wall.

Say cheese.

Yeah, so, um... Well, we don't know what to do, and... I mean, you know Dad.

There's no way he could have done something like that.

No, of course he wouldn't.

How did you get here?

A taxi.

I think I'm just wasting your time. Don't be silly.

Did you tell your mum you were coming?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, she thought it was a good idea.

Well, at least the lens doesn't lie.

Dave. Did you call for the taxi?

The taxi you got, did you call them?

And will they have a record of that call?

Because I don't think your mother knows you're here.

And if you end up dead after Paul, well, that's going to come back to me.

Yes.

And that won't work.

You need to disappear.

Thank you.

Stupid. Well, he had a knife to his head. Yeah, I should have fought him

No, he would have killed you and then you would have gone back for Margot.

I wasn't thinking.

Listen, you saved my daughter's life. I can't thank you enough.

And you got me out. Yeah, only on bail.

Yeah, and you saw Patrick. No, see, I didn't see him.

All I can say is that I was grabbed by a man with a knife.

But it was outside his shop and Margot, she would have testified.

Yeah, she did. That's why you're going home.

Look, we all know what happened, boss. But until we catch him... You were right

about him all along.

He is the stalker.

You finally found him.

No, we found him.

You know him best.

Where do you think he'd hide?

He won't be far.

She's staying with us.

Ah, she... She... Made her.

Is she, um... Is she up for a visitor?

Yeah.

Maybe. Listen, I... I was totally wrong about you.

Oh, no, I... It's all right, Steve.

It's fine.

He was just a genius at messing with people's heads.

Yeah, but I've only known him for five minutes. What was I thinking?

God, even last night he called me to tell me he was heading off on holiday,

asked me if I'd water his plants.

We were chatting like old buddies when he just tried to kill your daughter.

Tina, I'm so sorry.

He was the best. He really was the best.

He was the dullest man in the world.

And that's why I loved him.

Oh, God, I could be so horrible to him sometimes.

Why did he break into Patrick's house, Hugh?

Why did my lovely, dull hubby do something so crazy?

Well, she's grieving.

She's bound to lash out at you.

Yeah, well, I mean, she didn't. She was really kind, you know.

She hardly raised her voice.

You know it's not your fault that he died.

Yeah, Mum's right.

Everyone needs time to grieve.

Including you.

And you did it, Dad.

I mean, everyone knows who he is now. That's over.

No, well, you know, I don't think it is over.

Steve said that Patrick had rung in last night to ask him to water his plants

while he was away on holiday.

Holiday?

Hardly. And he must have known.

Must have known that Steve would tell me.

It's a warning.

You're coming back.

There's nothing here.

There's not a single thing that links him to this dog, okay?

I made them go through the place twice.

Same story with the shop.

We searched every inch.

Some of the drawers upstairs are empty, so it looks like he filled a couple of

suitcases and fled.

Credit cards?

None have been used since he vanished.

You don't really think he's coming back, do you?

Sorry.

He's been in the house.

Means he can come in whenever he wants.

I need you to go away.

Somewhere safe. Somewhere that not even I know about.

And then?

Well, then it'll all be over.

You can come back. It'll be finished.

And what if we say no?

No, no, there has to be something else we can do.

Call the police. They're not interested.

Well, if you call them... What am I going to say? I found a photograph.

He's the only one that can stop him.

It's always you. Why do you have to be the hero?

Alice, that's not fair.

Tell me, when you saw that photo, how did it make you feel?

Because a normal person would feel scared.

I bet you loved it. Mum.

Am I wrong?

Alice, I have been chasing this man for years, and through all that time, you've

held me.

You've supported me.

Please, just let me do this for you, for all of us.

Let it be finished.

That's it.

Peter, please.

And talk to the police.

Good luck. We are all going to have a good time.

If it goes red, you're alright.

How's the family?

I've sent them away.

But then you probably know that already.

I was thinking of popping over.

Well, I'm here.

You took your time.

Well, I can't move about so easily now, can I?

I messed up.

When you tried to kill my daughter.

It's what I do.

You know, you're such a coward.

Where have you been?

I can't let them arrest me.

You get that?

Yeah, that's right.

That one's for me.

Well, where have you been?

Oh, here and there.

Couldn't go far.

I've missed you too much.

You miss me, right?

I'm not coming up really

There's no way out.

We're in here till the police arrive.

You can't get out either.

And I'm the one with the knife.

Well, it's got to end somehow, hasn't it?

What are you going to do once I've arrested you?

Won't happen.

What are you going to say to Tina when she sees you?

Are you imagining happy endings?

Grow up.

Tell me. Yeah, let me tell you how your story will end.

They'll turn up eventually and they'll find you here.

Dead.

The man who failed to catch me once again.

Now, who's that?

Your backup?

I'd say we have five minutes.

Well, why are they calling if they're already on their way?

Are you lying to me?

Maybe they're not coming.

Maybe you're safe.

I could be bluffing.

Hello? Alice, is Hugh with you?

No, no, he's at home. Why?

Nothing.

No, Jenny, tell me. What is it? Nothing.

Nothing. It's fine. Don't worry. What? No.

Alex, come with me.

I don't think you want to kill me.

So wrong.

You liked the chase too much.

That's why you came back.

But you want me to tell you how special you are.

No.

I understand you now. I'm not special.

No, you're different.

You fought back. He came back because you're a predator.

Chase, stalk, kill, repeat. Chase, stalk, kill, repeat.

Yeah, but the thrill of it's you.

That's why you're alone.

You think less of me because I care.

You think you're better than me because... because I can love. I think

weighed down by unnecessary things. Well, Alice... Alice and Margot are the

things in my life.

When I get out of here, and I will, I'm going to disappear for a while, and then

I'm going to come back.

And I am going to hurt your wife.

I'll come and visit you in prison.

I didn't want you to be lonely.

Do you know that feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night and you

reach out and she takes your hand?

Do you know that one? You always thought so much of yourself pretending to be

the big man on the television.

No, I came back to make sure you saw the truth about yourself, Hugh.

When you're lying on the sofa together on a rainy day... Don't you see how

trapped in this pathetic little room where you will die?

You couldn't survive five minutes without me.

Yeah, you were falling apart.

Shall I tell you a funny story about it?

So Margot, she was still a baby. Yeah, she was...

She's weeks old.

Don't. She was tiny, tiny little thing she was.

No, don't. Don't speak.

And Alice, she was still breastfeeding. I said enough!

Get down!

Now listen, just put pressure here.

I think it missed the heart.

Okay? Okay. Yeah, I'll call for an ambulance.

Yeah? Alright?

Have you...

You did?

You made a right bloody mess of that shirt. That's what you did.

I was thinking, for

Easter, we could go to Lisbon.

OK, yeah.

You've always wanted to go.

You could just book it.

He's stuffing it now.

I love that.

Oh, yeah.

I'm so sorry it took me so long.

The Beast.
