Original subtitles

[Nicola] She's dead. She's not coming back.

But I've gotta find out why she died alone, frightened.

[lift door squeaks closed]

You were with my daughter an hour or two before she died.

Don't do this Danny.

Go comfort your ex-wife.

[phone rings] She's hoping you'll go with her for the viewing.

Harriet Carr. Harry Carr. That's not a coincidence.

[gun cocks]

Look, you've got the wrong idea about your daughter, okay?

You've still got it then? Your lucky horseshoe.

| give them to my favourite girls.

[horses whinnying]

The world you thought you had in your pocket,

gets taken over by the likes of me and Christina.

[Danny] Perhaps you got someone else to kill Christina for you.

Perhaps I could get someone else to kill you.

[tyres squealing]

[cries]

Don't stick your nose into things best left well alone.

[laughs]

[phone rings]

Richard.

[Richard] I've been trying you all day.

Well, now you have.

What the hell happened?

[Danny] With what?

With Ryan!

He lied to me.

Oh, Jesus, Danny.

Are you saying this wasn't an accident?

What does Ryan say?

Nothing much. He's pretty banged up.

Danny, you need to stop this. You need to turn yourself in.

Where are you now?

I'm heading back to the station.

Good, I'll meet you there.

—-Danny... -Yeah?

Listen to me.

No more games, okay?

Alright.

[theme music]

You came.

What happened to you?

Oh, er... nothing.

Doesn't matter.

They said it'll be a few minutes.

| spoke to Richard.

He said you've been making a nuisance of yourself.

| just er...

| couldn't bear the thought that,

someone might have done that to her.

Do you still think they did?

We're gonna do this properly, okay?

We'll say a proper goodbye,

together.

She was such a bold wee thing.

And yet so prim and proper.

You don't remember?

| used to wonder why your memory was so bad.

| know now.

You were never really there.

Physically maybe.

But emotionally you were...

somewhere else off in your head.

I, I just don't recall her being prim, that's all.

She couldn't bear to get a tiny bit of mud on her clothes.

And blood, my God! Pfft.

Blood?

She was so squeamish.

Really?

Remember that time at school?

They were dissecting worms.

And she fainted. [laughing]

She was very proud of that wee scar.

[whispers] Just there.

-Where did we go so wrong? —-Don't do this Danny.

We were a loving family.

[Susannah sighs]

| don't think you've ever loved anybody.

Not really.

[sniffs]

You told me once,

that you felt numb all the time.

You remember that?

And yet you were too proud,

too scared, to seek help.

You know that's not my way.

Your mother.

-Susannah... -She was so selfish.

-So emotionally cold. -I'm not one of your patients.

She couldn't love you, so you never loved yourself.

-Don't! And that pattern just repeats itself

and that's why your relationship with Christina was so unhealthy...

Don't fuckin' psychoanalyse me!

| can't stand it.

That's always been your problem, hasn't it?

[man] Excuse me.

We're ready.

[doors open]

[sombre music]

My baby.

My baby.

[sniffs]

[mumbling]

[door opens]

How did we not know?

How did we not know what?

About the life she was leading.

About...

the darkness that was enveloping her.

You know that scooter she rode?

How did she pay for it?

-You gave her the money. —Huh.

| don't think so.

[Susannah] You did!

You bought her that horse.

Three years too late.

She'd always wanted one.

She was 15 for God's sake. She wanted a father, not a fucking pony.

So, you sold it and gave her the money

and that's what she used it for.

[Danny] Mm.

What?

Never mind.

| think she was good at hiding things.

Just like you.

It was right under our noses.

Right under mine, you mean.

-Susannah, I didn't... -My mum was dying, Daniel!

Perhaps that's one more thing you don't remember.

Of course I remember.

And my practice, all those poor people.

In and out of lockdown, lives thrown up in the air,

desperate to talk to someone.

| couldn't just turn my back on them.

When she was still at home, it was easy. | could...

go into her bedroom, I could...

[heavy sigh]

[crying] read her diary, I could find out what she was thinking, feeling.

But when they go out into the world...

| just wish she felt she could speak to me.

And I had the chance to tell her that...

whatever was eating her up, it...

it would pass [cries].

[Susannah sobbing]

Please, Daniel, please...

come back inside and let's say goodbye properly.

[ominous Mmusic]

[Danny] | thought we'd time.

| should have reached out.

| should have done more.

| begged you so many times, both of you, to make it up.

At Christmas when you were supposed to meet up, I pleaded with you, Daniel.

We never even spoke about it.

You wouldn't answer my calls.

| even sent you that video.

What video?

Oh please, don't pretend you didn't receive it.

Susannah, I swear I never got a video.

And I swear I sent it.

Look.

-I haven't even got that app! -Yes, you do!

Oh.

Well, I never look at it.

Ryan sent it at Christmas.

What?

[Ryan] Hey Susannah, I found her.

She's out of it.

Danny didn't show up.

[female] What are you doing, Ryan?

[laughs] What?

[background chatter]

[intense music]

No, no.

[dark music]

[door opens]

[breathing heavily]

Oh, God.

[sombre music]

[Susannah sniffs]

[wind howling]

[soft breathing sound]

It's right there...

[echoing] it's right there...

in front of you.

[door opens]

[Danny] Hey.

[door swings closed]

Do you know where this was taken?

I've no idea. Ryan didn't say.

Did he say why he sent it?

Er...

| assume he wanted me to know that he...

he'd found her.

Do you recognise the other voice?

Listen.

—[party music] -[female] What are you doing, Ryan?

| know her from somewhere.

[female] What are you...

Please don't play it again.

Why did you send Ryan to look for her?

-Oh, Daniel! —-But of all people...

[sighs heavily] He was a police officer.

| thought if something happened, if she was in trouble he would help.

There's 150,000 police officers in this country.

| would trust pretty much every one of them before I trust him.

He was her godfather!

He was your friend.

Was being the operative word.

| was gonna ask Richard, but he...

it was Christmas, he was with his kids | didn't wanna bother him.

—-Richard? -Yeah.

Didn't know you two were on those kind of terms.

Yeah, well you don't know everything.

Evidently.

You worked with him for more than ten years.

We never socialised.

We've been seeing each other.

-You and Richard? -Yeah.

Why not? He's separated, I'm divorced.

There's no law against it.

My boss!

Your ex-boss and your ex-wife.

-My friend? —-Oh, you just said you never socialised.

| don't owe you anything, Daniel.

And neither does he.

[door opens]

I'm really sorry. I've got another viewing to get ready for.

Of course.

He was here with you?

Earlier.

Did he say anything?

-He was supportive. —About the investigation.

He said there's nothing to investigate.

It was suicide.

You have to accept that.

—-I've tried. -You have to!

| can't!

There's no other explanation, love.

Of course there is!

Then what?

-Loads of things don't add up. -Like what?!

Why was someone so squeamish that she fainted cutting open an earthworm

decide that this was the best way to try and kill herself?

Richard said she may have taken some kind of tranquiliser.

It could have affected her judgement in all sorts of ways.

Yeah, she was still capable of cutting her left wrist!

Even though she's left-handed.

And why would she even have that razor blade in her possession?

Women use razors.

Not classic safety razors.

Not young women anyway.

-What would you know about young women? -Oh!

This is classic you.

-You always do this. -What's that?

Obsessing over the minutia and missing the bigger picture.

[shouting] Go on then, enlighten me!

She's gone, Daniel!

And any hope of peace we had is gone with her.

[tense music]

[kissing]

She...

Have you been listening to a word I've said?

What, what the hell are you doing?

Her frenulum.

It's torn.

This, uh, this tendon here.

Wha... what about it?

It's a possible indicator.

Of what?

That, er, that someone may have had their hand over her mouth.

That there may have been some kind of struggle.

No.

That somebody tried to smother her.

[sobbing, crying]

—[wails] —Hey.

[knocking on the door]

We're coming [sniffs].

[phone pings]

Richard's asking if you're here.

What should I tell him?

Tell him what you like.

[phone pings]

He says I should stop you leaving until he gets here.

Jackie Sowden said there was no evidence of foul play.

The torn frenulum.

It's not mentioned in the post-mortem report.

[tense music]

Go on then.

Do what you must.

Daniel...

Why would anybody wanna kill her?

Are you sure you wanna go there?

Maybe.
