- [Ed] You deserve to be free, Angela.

What about the kids, what are they gonna do?

(banging on door) - Please, please, please!

(sobbing) Please!

(melodic haunting music)

(alarm beeping)

- [Radio Presenter] Thank you for that, Anil,

that was our weather update

and now let's turn to our topic for the day.

(Olivier stirring)

But you might not be so keen-

- Oh, there's a spider on our ceiling.

- Hm?

- [Radio Presenter] And also we're picking up signs of-

- It's strange, isn't it,

how we keep our ceilings so bare?

We see them before we sleep and when we wake up every day.

Something bothering you?

- Something's always bothering me.

- You don't have to worry.

(radio broadcasting quietly)

(bag unzipping)

- What are you doing?

- This little shit does not belong in our house.

(tennis racket swiping) Uh!

(knife slicing) Okay, two more points,

that's nine.

No, that's another point, come on, Maxie, try again.

Yes, we can do it. (doorbell ringing)

- Guys. - Nice one.

- Marissa and the boys are here.

- Very good. - Come on.

- That was really good, Maxie, try one more.

- There you go, have a good day.

- Bye. - Bye.

- [Olivier] Daddy takes it and he goes and he scores!

- Yeah! - Alright,

this is going to be a great day.

(door clicking open)

- Hi. - Hi.

- [Olivier] Hi, Marissa.

- You boys ready? - Yeah.

- Great. - Very ready.

Don't forget your bags. - Bye.

- Bye, boys, have a good day.

(door thudding)

(radio broadcasting quietly) (soft tense music)

(keys jangling)

I must go to work, I'm late.

- You mustn't be late.

- No.

(suspenseful music)

(knife slicing)

(mellow melodic music)

(door clicking open) - You found it okay then?

- [Angela] I haven't got much time.

I'm supposed to be at work.

- This won't take long, it's just through there.

(mellow melodic music)

(door thudding)

You manage to sleep?

- (sighs heavily) I don't feel like I did,

but I suppose I must have.

(sighs) You said he called, what did he say?

- It has to be tonight.

- I can't, it's just...

This can't be happening. - Look, I'm sorry,

but we don't have another choice.

Can you get your kids to stay somewhere else tonight?

A sleepover maybe?

- My children are gonna grow up

knowing someone killed their Dad.

How, I can't do that to them, there has to be another way.

- It's him or you, Angela.

That's the way it is now.

(melodic haunting music)

- So I send them to a sleepover, then what?

- You give him one of these.

They're just sleeping tablets, Angela, can you do that?

Come on, that's the hardest part.

- No, it's not.

- Just remember why we're having this conversation, yeah.

- I'm trying, believe me.

- Okay, so when it starts working

and he starts getting tired, you take him upstairs to bed.

But before you do, you need to make sure

you leave the back door unlocked,

then when he's asleep, turn the hallway light off so I know.

Then run to a neighbor's house, knock and you tell them,

that there's an intruder in your house

and that you need to call the police and then that's it.

- How will you do it?

- You don't wanna know that?

It won't hurt, alright, it will look like a break-in

and your kids, your kids will be safe.

- And what do you get out of it?

- I get to do something good for a change.

(melodic suspenseful music)

I don't want you to get hurt, Angela.

- You can't do this expecting anything from me.

- [Ed] I know.

- So what do I do now?

- You go back to work.

- Right, just get on with my day,

like nothing's changed.

- Like nothing's changed.

(tense melodic music)

(pill bottle rattling)

(water sloshing) (tense melodic music)

It's him or you, Angela, that's how it is.

Who would you rather raise those kids?

Your kids,

your kids will be safe.

(tense melodic music)

(Angela thudding to floor)

(soft melodic music)

- Angela?

Angela?

Angela?

Oh God, look at that.

(dogs barking) (locker door closing)

- Oh shit.

(door clicking open) - Alright,

see you in a minute. - Alright, love.

(dogs barking)

What are you doing?

- I just thought, um, no one needs to look at that,

while I'm at work, do they?

- I don't think Karen's gonna give you a hard time

for hurting yourself, love.

- No, I just, I didn't get much sleep last night,

I'm a bit all over the place.

- You should go home. - I'm okay.

- [Judy] I'll get you some more water.

- No, I'm good, I'm good.

Honestly I'm good. - Okay.

(mellow melodic music)

- [TV Presenter] Despite geological changes,

that have pushed meteorites and the craters they've made-

(door unlocking) (door clicking open)

- [Olivier] Don't let him tell you now, okay.

(door thudding)

Ah-huh, it sounds like a plan.

I said that sounds like a plan.

(keys jangling)

Thanks.

Thanks, bye.

- Hey, you're home late.

- I know, I'm sorry, every time I tried to leave,

there was someone else with another question.

Before I knew it- - It's fine.

I'll get you a drink.

- My favourite part of the day.

- [TV Presenter] What on earth it was made of

and how it was created.

(soft tense music)

(Olivier exhaling heavily)

(soft suspenseful music)

(pills crunching)

(knife scraping)

(spoon stirring)

(melodic suspenseful music)

- [TV Presenter] Blew away the light elements

leaving heavy, rocky elements.

These heavy elements bound together-

- Here we go.

- Thanks.

- [TV Presenter] The dense, metallic materials-

(melodic suspenseful music)

- I was thinking about the spider on our ceiling today.

- Why?

- I don't know, maybe because it was the first thing I saw,

when I woke up this morning.

Or more likely because I took a chunk of the paintwork

out of the ceiling trying to get rid of the damn thing.

(Olivier laughs softly)

- [TV Presenter] Water remained on the surface.

(soft tense music)

In the right distance to the sun.

- I was just thinking, you know, what it must be like

to, to be going about your day

and bang, a Dutchman with a tennis racket

the size of a skyscraper comes in and tears your life apart.

- It's just a spider.

- Yeah, I suppose,

it's just a spider.

(soft tense music)

- I'm gonna get a drink of water.

(Olivier sighing heavily)

(faucet water running)

(soft tense music)

You look tired.

- Oh, yeah,

it's just...

- Why don't you come to bed?

- Yeah, let's. (breathing deeply)

(soft tense music)

- Don't worry, I'll do the lights.

- [Olivier] Okay.

(soft tense music)

(door unlocking)

(door clicking open)

(soft tense music)

(light clicking off)

(soft tense music)

(light clicking off)

(Olivier spitting)

(toothbrush clattering)

(faucet water running)

(melodic suspenseful music)

(faucet water running)

(light clicking off)

(Olivier breathing deeply)

- [Angela] Hey, let's get you into bed.

(Olivier moaning softly)

(Olivier breathing deeply)

- Goodnight, my love.

- Goodnight.

(soft tense music)

Olivier?

Are you awake?

Olivier.

(soft tense music) (heart beating)

(light clicking off)

(soft tense music) (heart beating)

(light clicking off)

(light clicking off)

(tense melodic music)

(ominous music) (Angela gasps)

(tense melodic music)

- Is he out?

Everything's gonna be okay.

- Do you really believe that?

- [Ed] Go.

(soft tense music)

(Angela breathing deeply) (heart beating)

(door clicking open)

(melodic suspenseful music)

(banging on door)

- Hello!

Can you let me in, please?

Please let me in, please let me in!

I need to use your phone!

- Hang on, I'm coming! - Hello?

Hi, it's Angela, I live across the street.

You don't really know me, but I need,

I need to call the police, there's someone in my house.

(melodic suspenseful music)

(door clicking open) - Come in, come in.

- I'm so sorry, I just need to use your phone.

- [Frances] The phone is through there.

There, there's the phone.

(melodic suspenseful music)

This is terrible, what happened?

- [Operator] Emergency, which service do you require?

Fire, Police or Ambulance? - Er, Police.

- [Operator] Right, first can I take your name please?

- Yeah, it's-it's Angela Meyer.

- [Operator] Right, Angela,

what is the nature of the emergency?

- Um, there's a man in my house, I just came downstairs

and then I don't, I don't know how he got in,

but my husband, my husband's still there.

He's-he's asleep, he's still in there.

- [Operator] Okay, I need you to tell me the location

where you're calling from. - Oh my, that's awful.

- A neighbor's house, I live at number seven Beverley Drive.

- [Operator] Right, we're sending a car

to your address right now.

- We're number 30. - Angela, I need you

to stay on the line with me, until they arrive.

- Just-just tell them to hurry, please.

- [Operator] Yes, I will,

but I need you to stay with me on the line.

- They're coming. - Oh, thank God for that.

- [Angela] I'm so sorry about all this.

- Oh, goodness, don't apologise.

- We don't even really know each other, I mean-

- [Frances] Don't worry, love.

- I mean, I see you, but I don't...

- [Frances] Look, why don't you just sit down?

Now they'll be coming soon.

There, there.

- Thank you.

- [Frances] Oh, goodness.

- I'm so sorry, I don't even know your name.

- Frances, it's Frances.

- I live across the street and I don't even know your name.

- [Frances] Oh, that's fine.

Look at you, you're shaking.

- I shouldn't have left the house. (ragged breathing)

- [Frances] Well, that's not true, now you had no choice.

- I had a choice and I just left him there to die.

- [Frances] No, no, you don't know that,

you don't know what that person wanted in your home.

You did what you had to do.

What about a drink, a brandy, maybe?

That'll steady the nerves.

- No, I'm fine, thank you.

- [Frances] Oh well, I'm gonna have one.

(brandy pouring)

- God, where are they? They should be here by now.

- [Frances] They're on their way, don't worry.

(sirens wailing in distance)

I can hear them.

That's them now, they're here.

(sirens wailing) (brakes screeching)

- I-I need to go. - Oh no, no,

no, no, wait here, until the police tell you it's safe.

(door clicking open) You shouldn't go back yet!

(tense melodic music) (heart beating)

(Angela breathing heavily)

- Hey, love, slow down, slow down.

Love, hang on, hang on. - No, it's my house.

- It's what? Hang on. - It's my house.

- Okay. - My husband's inside.

It's my house. - Okay.

(police radio broadcasting quietly)

(melodic suspenseful music)

- Are you okay?

(police radio broadcasting quietly)

Ssh!

(soft tense music)

- [Olivier] Goodnight.

(door thudding)

- Christ, what a night.

I could do with a drink.

Do you want anything?

(cabinet opening)

(cabinet closing)

(cork squeaking)

(gin pouring)

(gin bottle thudding quietly)

- [Olivier] You must think I'm foolish.

(soft tense music)

- What, what do you mean?

- I mean, I lie there

asleep like an oaf, while you're afraid for your life.

- Well, it all happened so quickly.

It's not your fault, it's just-

- How could I not hear you?

- I don't know, I thought I screamed the house down,

but maybe, I don't know,

maybe it didn't come out as loud as I thought or,

Christ, I was so fucking scared,

I just came downstairs to get some water

and there's someone in our house, just standing there.

- Hm.

Right there?

Where, whereabouts?

Here?

You couldn't, you couldn't really see them?

So this door was open,

but nothing's broken.

(soft tense music)

- I must've left it unlocked.

- I just, ah, a man breaks into our home,

my wife goes running from the house screaming

and I just lie there dead to the world, I don't understand.

What could they have possibly wanted?

- To steal something, probably.

- [Olivier] And yet nothing's missing.

- Well, I probably scared them as much as they scared me.

Maybe they heard you moving around upstairs,

when you woke up.

- Yeah.

Of all nights for someone to, (gin pouring)

break into our house,

that it must be the night, that the boys are away.

- Yeah.

Lucky, I suppose.

(soft tense music)

- I want to show you something.

Come on.

(light clicking on)

(door clicking open)

(drawer opening)

- What are we doing down here?

(keys jangling)

(door clicking open)

(door unlocking)

Where the hell did that come from?

- [Olivier] My grandfather.

- [Angela] Does it still work?

- Oh yes, it does and I need you to know how.

Here.

Take it.

Just hold it.

Good.

It's a very simple rifle, all you need to do,

pull back the hammer. (gun clicking)

And then you put your finger on the trigger.

Come on, do it, put your finger on the trigger.

Good.

(door thudding)

(tense melodic music)

It's not loaded.

You have to keep the ammunition separate.

Now to load it, you open the gate here.

You can pull that back. (gun clicking)

You put the bullet in (bullet clattering)

and you push it back.

(gun clicking)

I need you to know how to defend yourself.

- It's not gonna happen again, is it?

- You don't know that.

Look at me, you have to be prepared.

You never know what's round the corner.

- We should try and get some sleep.

(soft tense music)

(gun clicking)

(bullet sliding out)

(gun clicking)

(lid clattering gently)

(keys jangling)

(drawer closing)

(doors closing)

(phone ringing)

- [Ed] You've reached Ed. Leave a message.

- It's me, I don't, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Can you just message me please?

(soft melodic music)

(sirens wailing in distance)

(phone ringing)

- [Ed] You've reached Ed. Leave a message.

- It's me again, I just,

I need you to tell me what happened last night.

(footsteps descending stairs)

- Were you talking to me?

- No, it was Mia, um, they need me to do a shift.

- On a Saturday, such short notice?

- Judy's ill, so.

- Well, did you tell them what happened last night?

- It's fine, they need me, if you don't mind?

The kids are getting dropped back at 10,

so just tell them I'm sorry I had to work today.

I'll see you later.

- [Olivier] I could have sworn

I heard you talking last night.

- What?

(soft tense music)

- Yes.

After I went to bed.

- You were out cold, vivid dreams after all the excitement.

- Right.

- See you later. (keys jangling)

(door clicking open)

- Have a good day.

(door thudding)

(car door clicking open)

(car door thudding) (Angela exhaling heavily)

(phone ringing)

(seat belt clicking)

- Where the hell have you been?

I've been trying to ring you.

What happened?

- [Ed] Not on the phone.

- Your place then.

- [Ed] What if he's hired someone else to follow you?

- Then what do you fucking suggest?

- [Ed] Just listen

and do exactly what I say, okay?

- Okay.

(soft tense music)

(car rumbling quietly)

(handbrake cranking)

(seat belt clicking)

(car door clicking open)

(car door thudding)

(melodic suspenseful music)

- [Ed] Angela.

- Jesus, where did you come from?

- Got here early, but we have to keep this quick.

Does he know?

- No. - Are you sure?

- He would say, we were alone in the house, with no kids,

why wouldn't he say something, if he knew?

- Yeah, I don't pretend to understand

what's going on in your husband's head.

- Look, just tell me what happened.

- The pills must not have been strong enough, he woke up.

- Christ.

- Look, I went up the stairs and I went towards the bedroom.

- Did he see you? - No.

- So you just turned and ran away?

- Yeah.

- Maybe we should just take this as a sign.

- A sign? This was bad luck, nothing else.

- Bad luck? You fucked it up.

- Right, well, we'll try again, I'll stall him.

- No. - We have no other choice,

Angela, in case you haven't realised,

your husband still wants you dead.

He finds out I'm involved, then I'm fucked too

and if you want any chance at keeping your kids

or your life- - I said no.

If you wanna help me, then leave me alone.

- Angela. (car door clicking open)

(car door thudding) Angela, come on,

don't do this. (car engine starting)

We've only got one more chance at this, Angela please.

(car rumbling) (soft tense music)

(door thudding) (TV broadcasting quietly)

- Hey?

Oh hi, you two, how was the sleepover?

- Hm? Oh yeah, it was really good, we had ice-cream.

- [Angela] Nice.

- Yeah, it was alright.

- Where's your dad?

- I don't know.

- [Angela] Olivier?

Olivier?

(soft melodic music)

What's going on?

- I'm sorry.

There's a problem with the Paris build.

Um, I have to go away.

- Right now?

- Yeah, it's just for one night, I'll be back tomorrow.

Do you want me to call anyone to stay with you?

The break-in was- - It's fine, I'll be fine.

- Are you sure? - Hm-mm.

(suitcase zipping up)

- Like ships in the night, the two of us.

- Duty calls.

(soft tense music)

- I love you.

- He told them of Naples, of trips to Mount Vesuvius

and showed them coloured prints of some of the orchards.

(soft orchestral music)

Night night.

(light clicking off)

(train rumbling)

(phone ringing)

- [TV Presenter] Stressful, it's stressful to know,

that we could be stuck here for who knows how long

in these extraordinary, freezing temperatures.

I mean, the wind chill factor is off the scale.

If you take your goggles off for one second.

- [TV Presenter] So that they have plenty of time to-

- [TV Presenter] Now that she's spotted her prey,

she's going to make her move any minute now.

Not long and there it is. (leopard growling)

And they don't stand a chance.

She's ferocious and that's how she has to be.

(phone ringing)

- I should throw this phone away.

- [Ed] He knows. (breathing heavily)

- What did you say?

- [Ed] He knows what we did and he's coming for me.

Alright, he's coming for you, he's gonna end this.

- Don't be ridiculous, my children are asleep upstairs.

- [Ed] You think he gives a shit?

You need to get out of there right now.

Just do whatever you have to, please.

Run, Angela, just fucking run.

(phone disconnecting)

(melodic suspenseful music) (door clicking open)

- (breathing heavily) Sam.

Sam, wake up, darling, come on, we need to get up.

We need to get up, put these, put these clothes on.

- What's happening? - Get dressed now.

I'm waking your brother up. - Where's Dad?

Mum, what's happening?

- Max. (light clicking on)

Max, come on. - What's going on?

- You need to get up, you need to get out of bed.

- Like, Mum? - We need to leave.

Put these on, get dressed. - Mummy.

(brakes screeching) - Just get dressed!

- [Max] What are you doing, where's Dad?

- [Sam] Mum, what's happening?

Mum, what's happening?

Mum, please, where's Daddy? - Why are you doing this?

- Stay, stay in this room.

- [Max and Sam] Mum!

- You stay in this room and keep the door closed, okay!

- Mum, where's Dad? (door thudding)

- Mum, what are you doing? (door locking)

(door clicking open)

(soft suspenseful music)

(door clicking open)

(drawer opening)

(cabinet unlocking)

(knocking on door) (Angela gasping)

(cabinet opening)

(keys clattering)

(knocking on door)

(gun clattering)

(bullets rattling)

(knocking on door)

(gun clicking) (Angela gasping)

(knocking on door)

- [Olivier] Angela!

(Angela breathing heavily)

(knocking on door)

(gun clicking) Angela!

Open the door! (knocking on door)

Angela!

- Mum, what's happening? - Boys, get upstairs now.

(knocking on door)

- What are you doing? - Just get upstairs now!

- [Olivier] Angela, please open the door!

- Dad? - Get away from the house!

Get away from the house! - Mum, you're scaring me!

(knocking on door) - Angela!

Angela, open the door now! - Get upstairs now!

(knocking on door)

(soft tense music)

(Angela breathing heavily)

- What's happening? (Angela gasping)

What are you doing?

- Dad? - Stay there,

boys, stay there, don't...

What are you doing?

- [Sam] Daddy?

- [Angela] Why are the police here?

- Mum! - Mummy!

- Mrs. Meyer, lower the weapon.

- Mum. - Mum, Mum.

- Mrs. Meyer, I need you to lower the weapon now.

- Mum, Mum. - Daddy!

- Mum! - Daddy!

- Angela Meyer, you are under arrest

for possession of a firearm- - Mum!

- With intent to endanger life.

- Just, just, I didn't- - You don't

have to say anything. - Dad!

- I don't know what to do. - Mum!

(all shouting together) - but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned,

something which you later rely on in court.

- Mum, Mum! - It's alright.

- Mum, Mum! - It's okay, it's okay.

(banging on door) Please, please, please!

(cell door opening)

- Look, you need to calm down.

Someone's coming to see you shortly.

- I want to know what's going on.

Why isn't anyone talking to me?

- We've already explained,

the doctor needs to give you a proper assessment,

before you talk to anyone else.

- I thought he was gonna kill me, I was protecting myself,

that's all that happened. - Now's not the time.

- I didn't make any threats, I was, I was scared

for my life, you have to understand, I was-

- [Nasrin] Look, we'll talk it all through with you

after you've seen the doc.

- I need, I need to see my children.

- It's not possible, I'm sorry.

(background people shouting)

(Angela sobbing)

Try, try and get some rest.

(cell door closing)

(Sam moaning)

- Sam.

Hey, hey, ssh,

it was just a dream.

Just a bad dream, okay?

- Where's Mummy?

- She's okay, she, she just needs some rest.

(soft melodic music) - Will she be okay?

(clock ticking)

- She'll be fine.

(clock ticking)

(soft melodic music)

- I don't need this, okay?

I don't need you all looking at me and examining me.

What I need is my husband to be locked away,

where he can't hurt anyone.

- Tell me about that.

- He murdered someone, a woman five years ago,

Yuki Okubo, he killed her and now he wants to kill me,

because I'm inconvenient, see?

Just like she was and I know, I mean, I knew,

because Ed told me.

- This is Ed Harrison, the hitman?

- If you'd just speak to him, he'll tell you.

(soft melodic music)

- We haven't spoken to Ed, Angela,

but we went back over your statement

and the police went to the house,

where you say you met this man, Ed.

(soft tense music)

It's empty.

- I'd...

- It's been empty for months.

- Just, check, check the phone, the phone Ed called me on,

I dropped it at the house, so it must still be there.

- [Cath] The police didn't find any phone at the scene.

- But then he got rid of it, but you need to look,

because there were calls between me and Ed.

The CCTV at my house, did you check the dates I gave you?

He was there.

(soft tense music)

What's this?

- [Cath] These are from the dates you gave us.

We've checked through it all thoroughly,

there was no one else there, Angela.

- [Angela] Olivier must have done something.

- The police spoke with your husband

about what you were saying,

when they drove you to the station.

It made him think of this.

(tense melodic music)

- But I've never, I've never-never seen that before,

I don't. - It's from your house.

It's by a writer called Ed Harrison.

(soft tense music)

In the book, a husband hires a hitman to kill his wife.

The hitman falls in love with the wife

and decides to turn the tables on him

and we learn the husband has done this before.

He had his old mistress killed too.

- [Ed] The name's Ed Harrison.

- [Cath] Does that sound familiar to you?

- I didn't,

I didn't imagine this.

I'm not making this up. (eerie discordant music)

- [Ed] Angela.

- [Cath] There was no phone.

- [Ed] Why didn't you do something?

- [Cath] There was no CCTV.

- [Ed] That's the way it is now.

- [Cath] There is no Ed, Angela.

- [Ed] It's him or you.

- [Cath] Given your history and the events at Edgewater.

- Angela.

- [Cath] We believe you are suffering

from a mental breakdown.

For your safety, we are going to recommend

you be admitted to hospital,

under section two of the Mental Health Act.
