You need to tell them it wasn't me who stole their daughter's bike.

They found a bite mark on Emily's arm.

Did you bite Emily like you bit me? RHYS: I hate you.

Couple of weeks' leave, then we'll see where we stand.

Why don't you just get out of my house?

You saw Emily the day she went missing.

ON VIDEO: Owen Winter denies involvement

in the death of his daughter.

SHE SCREAMS

ON VIDEO: Who are reeling from the news

that they may well have had a murderer in their midst.

ON VIDEO: Someone like that,

living next door to us all this time...

And we knew he could be violent. I mean, everyone saw that.

Maybe we should have said something, but we felt sorry for them.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

Murderer! LOUD BANG

Killer!

LOUD BANG

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK, INDISTINCT CHATTER

THEY CHAT INDISTINCTLY

Excuse me, quick question, madam - do you know the family?

THEY CHAT INDISTINCTLY

Excuse me, do you know Owen Winter? Leave me alone.

HE YAWNS

I forgot what it was like, no sleep.

Now we're packing just to get out of the house.

Yeah, I remember.

Rhys has been really good with the baby. You should see him.

Yeah, I will, soon. I've been busy.

I wish you'd told me sooner about the whole bite thing.

You know the police have got it all wrong about Owen.

It's an absolute nightmare.

Ah, well, if it's not some sex offender on the loose,

nine times out of ten, it's the father, isn't it?

No, it isn't.

He's completely innocent. Yeah, well, whatever.

This is for the baby from me.

Looks a little like her, don't you think - Emily?

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Rhys will be fine, yeah? Don't worry.

PHONE VIBRATES Oh.

Hello?

ON PHONE: Hello. Who is this? It's Dean Winter.

Dean? Where are you? I'm at home.

What's wrong? Where's your mum?

She hasn't come home. I'm worried about her.

I've tried her work.

Sorry. It's OK. Sorry to bother you, but I didn't know who else to call.

It's OK. You did the right thing calling me.

I'll find her.

Sabine, Dean called me!

Please, open the door!

It's OK.

You all right?

Hmm? Dean's worried about you. Come on, let's go.

That's it.

HUM OF CHATTER

God, they're still here! I don't think I can do this.

Well, here's your chance to tell them that Owen didn't do it.

They'll listen to you. You have to.

You're so sure that he's innocent? Yeah, course I am.

You have to tell them.

What if I do more harm than good?

It's OK. It's OK.

Here, go to my place just until they give up for the day.

I'll stay with Dean. I'll get the dinner on. Here.

PHONE VIBRATES

Hello? ON PHONE: Mum.

Oh, are you all right?

Have you really moved in with those killers up the road?

Erm, no, Rhys, they're not killers.

They are. Look... Why are you being so weird? No, but I...

I really don't want to see you any more.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Dean.

I, erm...

Your mum'll be home soon. Mm.

ELECTRO MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY

FRONT DOOR OPENS

Sabine?

MUSIC STOPS

I hope you don't mind. The bottle was open.

SOFTLY: Oh, God.

SHE SNIFFLES Got your mail here.

There'll be reporters camping out God knows how long.

I can run errands - whatever you need.

It'll be easier if I stay with you.

I bought these last year for Emily.

Where did you get them?

I found them at the shrine.

Maybe Owen put them there, or Dean.

I didn't know whether you wanted any of it.

She never even wore them.

Ran around with bare feet on the cold floor just to spite me.

Keep them with the rest of that junk.

OWEN ON PHONE: Listen to me.

You have to help me. They're going to charge me.

Sabine?

I don't know, Owen. I told you.

I... I don't understand why. Are you really not coming?

I would, Owen, but...

Sabine, I really need you to be here for me now.

It's not looking good for me,

and then if you don't come to visit, how will that look?

I'm here for you and Dean, but I need to see you both.

Sabine?

Are you there?

Mm.

I miss you both so much.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Sa...

You've got some nerve.

Excuse me?

On your high horse with me.

Now look at you, cosying up to the child killers.

Are you jealous? What?

I know it was Simon that bit Emily the day she died.

Simon's got nothing to do with this. And what about you?

WHISPERS: You listen to me.

That precious little princess

started screaming her head off about nothing, as usual,

and so I took her home. That's all.

You ask Sabine. She'll tell you.

You had a lock of Emily's hair. I saw it.

For goodness' sake! She gave it to me!

She wanted a doll with the same colour hair as she had, and so I...

What are you doing? Put that back.

Stay away from us.

SABINE: You're awake.

Is something wrong?

Pills knock me out. I'm wide awake at all hours.

I keep seeing her face when I close my eyes.

So...

..here I am, keeping you up.

It's funny, in all this, to find a good person like you.

Oh, I really am not. No?

Are you faking it? Erm...

It's OK. I can tell that you're not.

Take it from me. I'm a master at pretending.

In what way?

Everything. All the time.

WHISPERS: I don't even know myself any more.

It started years ago.

Pretended to feel what I thought I was supposed to feel.

Then I pretended to feel what all the other mothers, they felt.

Pretended.

I fooled Owen...

..and I fooled Dean...

..but I didn't fool Emily.

Not for a second.

Even when I was pregnant with her, she used to kick so hard.

It was like she knew.

Knew what?

I never wanted her.

I haven't even told Owen that.

No, I can't, really.

No, it looks better on you than it does on me.

Oh, I don't know.

I never wear it. You may as well have it.

Are you sure?

You'll be beating them off with a stick.

He'll need a suit...

..for court.

I'll give you one to bring in to him.

SIREN BLARES

Hi.

Brought you some clothes.

Sabine said that... But where is she?

How is it in here? I don't... I don't understand why...

Why has she not come?

She wanted to, but it's been hard for her to leave the house.

Hard? Yeah.

What are you talking about? Has she said something?

Does she believe them? What, does she think that I...?

I don't think she's well.

She's been saying some strange things to me.

That's her dress.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, she gave it to me.

Suits you.

I thought I could start a petition to make them release you.

They can't possibly have any evidence. I, erm...

I lied.

What? I told the police that I was working when...

..Emily went missing, but I wasn't.

Then they found out.

OK, I see. Erm...

Well, where were you? I, erm...

I went back to the house.

Sabine was, erm...

She'd been out of sorts for a while and I thought she might be...

..looking elsewhere.

I... What did you do?

I told Sabine that I'd be working all day,

and probably be home late.

But I came back early, oh, to, erm...

I thought I might catch her out.

Anyway, when I got back, the house was empty.

I figured the kids were out playing in the park.

And I didn't want them to see me, so...

And then I heard the water running.

And I went upstairs...

..and then I pushed the door open just a bit and...

..she was in the shower...

..and she was crying.

I don't know why, but now I wonder.

But she was alone...

..so...

..I left.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

But then you can explain.

Yeah, you can tell them the truth now.

No, I lied then, so they're convinced I'm lying now.

They say they have DNA evidence.

No, but you didn't do it. You didn't...

Sabine doesn't know that I came back, or why.

You won't tell her, will you?

Course not. Not if you don't want me to.

You know that I would do anything for you.

So, how was he?

He's hanging on.

He misses you both.

Can I please go see him? No, Dean, I told you -

I don't want you going there.

CAR APPROACHES

LOUD BANG Fucking bastards!

Rot in prison, you bitch!

TYRES SQUEAL

It's all right, Dean. We're OK. We're OK.

It's OK. Don't worry. Don't worry.

I'll go and check the doors are locked.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Brought you your pill. Oh, I think I already...

Didn't I...? Oh!

No, not yet. Ooh!

SABINE SIGHS

SABINE SIGHS

What was it like before this?

Hmm? Your family?

Oh, it's always been this.

But you want him to come home to you, don't you?

You're not the first, you know?

Something about Owen appeals to...

..women like you.

Lonely and sad.

You're wrong about me.

It's you I'm here for.

Write anything you like. I'll make sure he gets it.

You know what would really help?

If there's anything - anything at all -

you remember from the last time you saw Emily.

After Simon bit her and Joanne brought her back,

what happened then? That is enough!

Leave him alone! Sabine, please, I was only...

Dean, go finish it in your room. Sabine...

Joanne put them through the letterbox.

Oh, God. I remember that day.

She begged me to buy her that lollipop.

And when we got home, she...

..she wouldn't eat her dinner.

Owen was working late. I was exhausted.

She was yelling so loud, I thought the neighbours would come.

I tried everything. She just wouldn't stop.

I put my hand on her mouth.

Her face was so small.

I didn't realise she couldn't breathe until...

Until...?

Until Dean came in.

I took my hand away.

Emily was crying when Joanne brought her home that day.

What did you do to her?

To her?

Nothing.

I locked the bathroom door...

..turned the shower on...

..as hot as it would go.

I didn't see her again.

MUFFLED SCREAMS

SHE SCREAMS

SHE GASPS FOR BREATH

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Dean.

It's all right. I'm all right.

I only wanted to make it better.

For who?

Mum.

CHILD CRIES, SCREAMS

Mum needed some quiet, so I told Emily to go to the park.

She played on the swings for a little while.

And then what happened?

It's all right.

It's not all right.

After a while, she wandered off into the woods.

I told her to come back.

ECHOES: Emily!

I told her to stop, but she wouldn't.

ECHOES: Emily!

Emily!

Emily!

I didn't mean it. Why did I do it?

EMILY SCREAMS Emily, stop it!

SHE SCREAMS Please, stop!

EMILY CRIES

MUFFLED SCREAMS

HE SCREAMS

Why couldn't I stop?

EMILY SCREAMS

SHE CRIES

HE GRUNTS

EMILY SCREAMS

I should have stopped.

HE SOBS QUIETLY

It's all right.

How could I do that to her?

It's OK.

Mum said they won't let Dad go now.

Not until they have somebody else.

WHISPERS: It's OK. It's OK. Go to sleep now.

Everything's going to be OK.

I didn't know.

Not until...

..I saw him burying his jacket...

..a couple of days after they'd found Emily.

You found me in the woods the next day.

I made a choice.

I chose Dean.

I saw Owen Winter take his daughter into the woods the day she died.

The girl was screaming.

I'm going to give him back to you.

No! No! Stop!

Please stop!

I'm sorry! I'm...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. EMILY SCREAMS

It happened so fast.

I didn't mean to.

I was only trying to help.

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK

ON TV: A breaking development in the ongoing investigation

into the murder of six-year-old Emily Winter.

Claudia Chambers, a neighbour of the Winters,

has reportedly made a confession.

Chambers, who is in her 40s, is well known in the area,

and took an unusual interest in the search for Emily.

She is said to have recently been suspended from her job

as a nurse at Kenbridge Primary School.

Representatives of the school have refused to comment.

It is understood that the West Yorkshire Police service

will be making a statement shortly.

Is it true?

HE SIGHS I don't understand.

For God's sake, Claudia, tell them that you made it all up.

No. HE SIGHS

Look, this is madness! I know you!

You don't.

What? You never did.

I was just pretending this whole time.

I even fooled myself.

I should never have been anyone's mother.

Is that what I'm supposed to tell Rhys?

Yeah, if you want to.

Right, well, I'm going to go.

Wait.

Did you see - have they let Owen go yet?

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY
