The Suspect (2022) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1
The diagnosis
I gave you last week still stands.
Early Onset Parkinson's.
I was a patient of his, many years ago.
Been working with Cara and the group
for, oh, quite some time.
'I've been asked to profile
a murder investigation
'where a woman was forced
to stab herself 21 times.'
We talked before about this number
being important to you, didn't we?
It's a bus, actually.
My dad drove a number 21 bus.
You were at the cemetery at the
same time as us finding the body?
'At the same time
as you finding the body.'
- Missing person.
- Liverpool.
Please, my replacement?
If you could take a moment
to consider the candidates?
Did you not recognise her
at the mortuary when you saw her?
No, no. I didn't.
We found documents in Catherine's room,
her account
of you sexually assaulting her.
And I was completely cleared.
Why is she back in our lives?
What else are you hiding?
- Doctor.
- Nurse?
Oh, Christ!
You'd better come with me.
I'm sorry, Dr O'Loughlin.
I just
..wanted the pain
to help block it all out.
Catherine, you're self-harming.
If you want my help, you'll have
to come and see me professionally.
Regular appointments, OK?
It's the only way I can help you.
Thank you.
'When Catherine came to see me, it
'it was clear that
the self-harming was getting worse, '
but these things take time.
It's a process.
Progress was slow,
but she did stop self-harming.
And she was my client
for, well, ten months, I think.
Until she made the allegation
that you sexually assaulted her
under hypnosis
- No.
- ..and then you were suspended
That happens
with any serious allegation.
An inquiry concluded
that there was no basis
So why'd she make the allegation?
I don't know why she made
the allegation, I
Look, it-it's not
It's common for some clients
to become infatuated
with their therapists, that happens.
I mean, I didn't see the signs at first,
but she did start wearing make-up
to the sessions and perfume.
'She would schedule our sessions
for the end of her shift
'so she could come in in her civvies.
'There was one occasion
she tried to kiss me,
'and I stopped her, '
another occasion where she tried
to undress in the room
and I stopped her too.
Maybe she was angry at the rejection.
Do you have a habit
of befriending your clients?
No, I don't.
Ah, yeah. Cara Velasco.
- Mm-hm.
- The sex worker
that I witnessed you meeting up with
when I made inquiries about Catherine.
Yeah, Cara's an ex-client of mine,
she's, um
She was one of my clients
from years ago, actually.
Do you keep
in touch with your male clients
or is it just the female ones?
I think you're aware that Cara
is helping me in my research
And like Catherine,
Cara is both attractive and damaged.
She served time for assault,
was sectioned
after she tried to commit suicide.
What has this got to do
with my client
- Dr O'Loughlin.
- Mm.
Tell me about your Friday, 23rd.
The-The date that Catherine disappeared?
Um
It was a usual morning.
I had clients until about three o'clock.
At four o'clock,
I went to the hospital to meet Dr Owens.
He confirmed my Parkinson's diagnosis
and I left around five o'clock,
I think.
'Then I just went walking.
'I was just walking,
trying to take it all in.
'Ended up in Soho, went to a few pubs.'
Oh, which ones?
Er
Honestly, I don't remember.
I was trying to deal with
It was a difficult time for me.
I had some bad news,
and I got stupidly drunk,
stayed for a few hours in town,
and and I left
and got home before midnight.
My wife can corroborate this.
And you've had no communication
with Catherine McCain
since she made those allegations
five years ago?
Look, there
There is something
that I haven't told you.
Um
Several weeks before
any of this happened,
she applied
for a job to be my receptionist.
Dr O'Loughlin,
I'm putting you under caution.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
which you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given
in evidence. Is that clear to you?
Yes, it is.
So, you didn't think to tell us
the moment you found out?
I think I'd like a word
with my client
No, no, it was the same feeling
I had at the mortuary.
It-It It didn't feel real.
It-It felt out of place,
and it
This is coming on top
of my Parkinson's diagnosis.
I-I just wasn't thinking clearly,
and if I had have been, I
So, you didn't tell us
that you were at the cemetery
when we found her body,
you didn't tell us that
you recognised her at the mortuary,
and you didn't tell us
that she applied to work for you?
Is there anything else
that you haven't told us
that might be rather important?
No.
Why would a woman who'd previously
accused you of sexual assault
apply for a job as your receptionist?
I don't know why she'd apply for a job!
Maybe she was still obsessed!
Obsessed enough to turn up dead
in a cemetery on the one day of the year
that you happen to be there?
I mean, is that what this is?
She arranged the whole thing
before stabbing herself 21 times
and then someone buried her?!
- Detective Inspector
- No, no, I had the same thought!
Let's hear it out loud!
Makes it sound even more crazy!
Nah, it's all pretty loose.
I think someone's had a go
at getting in here before.
That one's definitely a replacement,
but I can't tell
Sorry, excuse me.
Hi.
- Hi.
- 'How'd it go?'
Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
I mean, none of us understand
any of it, but
'But they've let you go?'
Of course they let me go.
Thank God.
'Er look, love,
I'm gonna go into work, '
I'm feeling OK now, so
I'll give you a buzz later, all right?
'I love you.'
- I love you.
- 'Bye-bye.'
I assume psychologists aren't big
on events being coincidental?
No, not really. Um
Look
I think there's a possibility
that one of my patients
might be involved in this somehow.
You can't withhold information
in a murder investigation.
No, I-I don't have any evidence
and I might be just grabbing
- for
- You've already set alarm bells off
by not saying that you recognised
the victim in the morgue.
Technically right now, I can't break
doctor patient confidentiality
If the police wanna speak to you again,
you might not have a choice.
Simon thank you. I appreciate it.
'And your dad?'
I was eight, and, er he went to work,
and he didn't come back.
What happened to him?
You know,
nothing was gonna knock him down,
not even those horses.
- Horses?
- Yeah, yeah.
I used to, like, sit
on his shoulders at football games,
you know, that was our thing.
We'd go to, like,
the Chelsea matches together,
and, you know, sometimes there'd be,
like, running fights between fans,
and the police would charge on horses
Like, and I know, then,
you know, I-I should've been scared,
but I
I never was, you know,
not not when I was with Dad.
What happened to him?
Hmm.
It wasn't his fault.
Did he abandon you?
- Abandon?
- Mm.
Joe, you know nothing about him!
Would you feel more comfortable
talking about your mother?
I don't want to remember her.
Because?
Cos, I haven't seen her in years,
that's why.
And she's dying of cancer.
And I'm glad.
You're glad?
Yeah.
She'd stay out and sleep with all types.
Me and my dad'd wait up for her
to get home in the mornings.
How would your dad take it?
I-I-I-I see him I see him
disappearing little by little.
Death by a thousand cuts.
"Death by a thousand cuts"?
What do you mean by
"death by a thousand cuts"?
That's how she should die.
Slow and in pain.
And I'd like to watch.
What would you say to her?
If you were there, watching?
Absolutely nothing.
How many times do you think
she'd have to stab herself
before she died?
Maybe she'd only get
to stab herself 21 times, Bobby.
You said 21 was the number
of the bus that your dad drove
He drove a bus
on lots of different routes,
it's just a random number.
Why do you keep on going on about it?
What's that?
It's a whale.
I do carvings and I like whales.
It keeps me calm
in situations like this.
I like the feel of it.
You have it.
Well, what else could I do, Joe?
I mean, it is a murder investigation.
Of course I had to say you'd been
accused of sexually assaulting her,
I mean, they had all the documents,
and it did nearly wreck your career
and your marriage, so
Come on, take a seat.
Let's Finger exercise.
You referred Bobby Moran to me,
when was it, six months ago?
Really, this again?
Yes, er, yeah I guess it was.
Fully NHS funded, thought I was
doing you a favour. You're welcome.
He seems overwhelmed
with violent desires to harm women.
And his description of how
he wants to watch his mother die,
it exactly mirrors Catherine's murder.
He said "death by a thousand cuts".
Mm-hm. Well, Joe,
"death by a thousand cuts" is a
is a common enough saying.
Yeah, but "slowly and in pain",
and he wants to be there?
OK, but does he have
any connection to Catherine McCain?
Well, not that I know of.
What is that?
It's a carving of a whale
that Bobby gave me.
Joe, we talk about patients becoming
obsessed with their doctors
Can become a two-way street.
Yeah.
The canal runs
right along the murder scene,
it's worth checking.
See?
Now, they know she's a nurse
and not a prostitute,
I get to spend some money.
A little late, but still.
How's it going?
The last two sightings
we have of Catherine McCain
are still in the afternoon.
Euston Station at 3:27
and then again at 4:17
from a street camera half a mile away.
- And O'Loughlin?
- Nothing new.
Cameras still have him going
in and out of Soho pubs,
but he's on his own.
Catherine doesn't show on any footage,
any footage of the Soho area
that afternoon or night.
Her flatmate thought
that she was seeing a man in London.
Well, her circles of association
have all been followed up.
- Sir?
- Nobody knows anything about him.
We've found something.
We got something?
What's that look like to you?
Whoa-whoa! What are you doing here?
Cool. Is that a portrait of Stormzy?
It's a whale.
He's just modelling for me.
Joe?
- Isn't it great?
- Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm I'm just taking it in.
That's a great whale.
Yeah, everyone in the class
is making something
for a seascape collage.
It's for the school auction.
It's in the diary.
Tomorrow evening?
- You said you'd make it.
- Yeah, I will.
Well done, love.
Did you have another session
with that patient
you thought might be involved?
Yeah.
He loves his father, hates his mother.
It's just, it keeps going around
and around in my head.
Catherine applying
to be my receptionist, and
the police finding her body
at the cemetery
on the one day of the year
that we're there.
It's up to the police
to find an explanation.
OK? Your job is to not get stressed.
Yeah. Stress is the worst thing
for Parkinson's.
You spend your whole day talking
through other peoples' problems.
We need to find time for ours.
Parkinson's isn't something
"superhero Joe" does on his own, OK?
And there's something
I want to talk to you about.
- What?
- I feel bad that I
wasn't with you when you went
to get your diagnosis confirmed.
No, I do, cos I should've been there.
And when you didn't come home,
and I couldn't get hold of you,
I felt helpless.
Sorry.
And all that time
you were on your own,
just drinking yourself stupid.
Let me go and check it.
- Hello?
- 'Dr O'Loughlin?'
Yeah. 'It's Dr Webster here
from East Middlesex A&E.
'Um I have a patient of yours,
a Mr Moran. Bobby Moran.
'Hello? Dr O'Loughlin?'
Yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm still here.
What happened?
'Oh, well, the police found him
lying on Waterloo Bridge.
'He's pretty battered up. Um
'he's in a very confused, anxious state,
'and he's asking for you.'
- I'll be right there.
- 'Thank you.'
You don't have to go.
I do.
Cuts and bruises. No concussion.
He was upsetting the other patients.
He kept talking about washing
"the blood from his hands",
so we kept him in the waiting room.
He's over there.
- Thanks, Doctor.
- No probs.
Mr Wilson, do you wanna come with me?
Hi, Bobby.
What were you doing on the bridge?
Can you tell me what you remember?
Um
I was I was, actually I was, um
I was going to bed with Jenni
if I'm honest.
- Jenni, your fiancee?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I must be driving her crazy.
I'm
I'm-I'm scared
that she won't marry me, Joe.
Is she all right?
Yeah.
Bobby?
- Have you hurt Jenni?
- No, look
I would never do anything like that,
Joe, and you know that, OK?
Yeah.
Do you hear the windmills?
- Windmills?
- Yeah, yeah, they, like
They keep everything going.
Like, you know,
without them everything would stop,
and, um
and if you, like, put your ear
to the ground, you know, you can
you can, um
you can hear them, that's
That's what I was doing on the bridge,
I was listening to them.
Well, what do you hear?
Screaming.
Who's screaming?
Well, the blades, you know,
they cut the air, and
the air screams in pain.
You know, I hurt people in dreams, Joe.
You know, I do bad things, but
..I know that you know I'm not bad,
mate.
How do you hurt them?
You know, hate is normal.
Everyone hates.
Who do you hate?
There's this woman
that keeps on turning up when, um
I don't expect her.
It's weird, actually.
- A woman?
- Yeah.
Can you describe her for me?
Does she have scars, Bobby?
Self-harming scars like you?
"Now, Bobby, don't tell lies!"
Please, don't make me say it,
not now. Thank you
What's she trying
to make you say, Bobby?
You know what? I've actually
just had had a warning.
I've got to get back to work.
Bobby, Bobby, the doctor told me
you were talking about washing blood
off your hands.
- No, I don't think I was, mate.
- Have you hurt someone tonight, Bobby?
No, of course I haven't hurt
What? Why do you keep on No!
What about the woman who shows up
when you don't expect her?
What's her name?
If I don't go now, I'll lose my job.
- Is her name Catherine?
- Jenni will throw me out. No!
- Please, come back and talk to me.
- Thank you.
Sorry, Doctor
Did you Did you smell
something off him right now?
- Er no.
- Like a sweet smell? A cloying
- I'm really sorry,
- I've gotta get on with this.
Chloroform. Did you smell chloroform
from him then?
No.
I'm really sorry,
but I don't have time for this.
Do you wanna come with me?
Sorry, mate.
'I thought you'd be a night owl.'
And why is that?
An owl's sleep pattern
helps their mind to operate better.
Is that from one of your books?
Did I miss something
on the pathology report?
'Like what?'
They didn't find traces of chloroform
on Catherine McCain, did they?
Why?
'This might sound morbid, right, but'
have any other women been reported
missing in the last 24 hours?
- Why are you asking?
- 'I'
Look, it's probably nothing.
No, no. Tell me what you know.
I still need to find out
more information.
I'm sorry for calling, Detective.
I'll talk to you soon.
No, no, look, wait
'Don't hang up!'
Excuse me? Eddie Barton?
I'm Dr Joe O'Loughlin.
We spoke about Bobby Moran's
psych report
for his upcoming sentencing.
Ah
- Thank you very much, Dr O'Loughlin.
- You're very welcome.
I just wanted to
hand it to you personally,
so I could ask you a few questions
about Bobby.
This might help mitigating
Bobby Moran's sentencing,
but I'm still
trying to understand Bobby.
Ha! "Understanding" them.
That would tip me over the edge.
All I know is the charge sheet
and the brief conversation
I had with him to arrange bail.
I don't ask my clients
to tell me the truth.
I don't expect it.
Do you know if Bobby had a history
of violent behaviour?
You're his doctor.
Yeah, I'm just concerned
that he's hiding his past from me.
As far as I know
it's a first-time offence.
With your experience,
is he likely to have been violent
in the past, especially to women?
He's a client,
I'm not gonna speculate on that.
You're not in the legal aid
business, are you?
Oh, is that the legal aid business
that went bust years ago?
He's a porter in a warehouse
on minimum wage.
Who's paying for you?
EDDIE CHUCKLES I'm not that expensive.
And, of course, I'd never say,
breach of confidence.
But then you'd know that, wouldn't you?
- "Doctor O'Loughlin."
- Thank you for your time.
Chancery Lane, please.
We've just broken the £2,000 mark!
Ah! Fantastic news!
Ladies and gentlemen, back to lot 17,
our rainbow shell. Going once
going twice, fair warning.
All done at £110!
So, moving straight on, we have lot 18.
And, I'll think you'll all agree,
a beautiful underwater seascape,
featuring a fantastic whale.
Who'll start us off at £10?
£10, I'm bid. Thank you, sir, very much.
Do I see 20? £20 here.
Have I got £30? Back to you, sir.
£40, thank you very much. And £50. £60.
£70. £80 and 90.
Getting closer to a hundred. £100!
Fantastic!
Anybody gonna take us further than £100?
I think it's yours, sir. Going
Yes?
Oh!
Oh.
A sealed bid.
Oh, they can't
- Five hundred pounds.
- Wow!
Wow!
Sir
any advance on £500?
- Yeah, fi
- Er, no!
Going once
going twice
We're all done at £500!
Ah! That is wonderful news.
Just give me a second.
Well, I think that's gonna look lovely.
Hi. Who bought the whale picture?
Oh, I'm sorry, that was a sealed bid.
Oh, come on, mate, a sealed bid,
it's a school auction,
it's not Sotheby's!
Well, no, but it was made in confidence.
- Give us a look at your book.
- What?
- Give me a look at it
- No, I'm
- What are you trying to hide?
- I'm not!
I want to see who bought
the fucking picture!
Joe! Joe!
I'm so sorry.
- What the hell was that about, Joe?
- I wanted the drawing.
I didn't want anyone else to have it.
So embarrassing.
You know, a generous parent
wanted to help the school
and remain anonymous.
It wasn't just about Charlie's painting.
Take a month off.
Take two.
Everyone will understand,
adjustment is hard.
And you must tell Charlie.
Yeah.
Come on.
Sir.
I've got something.
O'Loughlin sits like a statue
for 40 straight minutes.
22:18, he shoots up,
he's made a decision
Sorry, you go.
So, we've just interviewed two men
who say they were with Catherine
the night she disappeared.
They talked to her in a pub
about half a mile away
from where her body was discovered.
They said she left the pub
some time between 10:30 and 10:45.
They said she was gonna meet someone.
Good job.
Forensics took another look
at her corpse, right?
It tests positive for chloroform.
- Oh, my God.
- How the hell did he know that?
Sorry to interrupt you.
We just need to ask you
a couple of questions.
Thanks.
Right, how can I help?
OK, so when someone's been stabbed
that many times,
you don't bother looking for much else.
How did you know about the chloroform?
So you did find traces on Catherine?
How did you know we would?
I can't break doctor-patient
confidentiality, I'm sorry.
Actually, Dr O'Loughlin,
you have to divulge
confidential information
if a client communicates plausible
intention to do serious harm.
No, that's a duty
to protect an intended victim,
I've no idea what my client intends.
What I know is, that night I called you,
I smelt chloroform on him.
And is that why you asked about
any other women having gone missing?
I'd been suspicious
of his involvement
in Catherine's death
..ever since you told me
she was stabbed 21 times.
And, yes, I was concerned
that maybe he'd come
from attacking somebody else.
Well, he may have done, what's his name?
- I could be wrong.
- No.
No, no. Tell me what you know right now
or I will arrest you for
perverting the course of justice.
All right.
He has an appointment later today.
If you're right,
this Bobby Moran is one
seriously disturbed individual.
'Possible subject sighted.
- 'Heading towards you now.'
- Copy that.
Is this him?
- Yeah.
- Male subject approaching.
- 'Your shout.'
- Copy that.
Go. Go.
Bobby Moran?
I'm DS Devi, Metropolitan Police.
Can I have a word, please?
I've actually
got an appointment with my doctor,
I'm sorry, I can't speak Get off me!
Please get off me! I'm not well!
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Catherine McCain.
You do not have to say anything
That's it. Get him in the van
as quick as you can.
Get off me!
Get off!
Joe, please!
I've done nothing wrong! Why?
No, no, please!
Joe!
Joe!
- Thanks, Doctor.
- Detective
Maybe don't tell him I tipped you off.
Yeah, no, don't worry.
Your professional interests are,
of course, paramount.
Tell me this means
we're done with Bobby Moran now?
- Yeah, I think it does.
- Excellent.
Cos it's really not a good look
for the practice,
having clients dragged away in chains.
Short enough to memorise,
you'll come off as spontaneously witty,
I'll be the brilliant bride who
Your wedding speech?
Oh, yeah.
Joe, please don't back out.
No, no, no, I'm not.
I'm looking forward to it.
You can't save them all.
Last time,
we also spoke about you
keeping a journal?
I have, um actually been
um writing a lot about you.
Well, it-it just sometimes
feels like you're
the only person who really listens.
Who actually cares.
Charlie
..there's something
I want to talk to you about.
It's about what's been happening
to me lately.
Now, it's not scary.
And it happens to lots of
other people, too, but
I have an illness.
- It's called Parkinson's.
- Is it your hands shaking?
Yeah. Yeah, it is
it-it's my hand, and
and sometimes my leg.
But there's nothing else wrong with me,
I'm not gonna have to go to hospital
Are you gonna die?
No. No.
No, love, of course I'm not gonna die.
Your uncle Jack is looking after me.
He's a really clever doctor.
- Mr O'Loughlin?
- Yeah?
I'm DJ. The plumber.
- Oh, right.
- I've got your boiler.
You couldn't give us a hand, could you?
- Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- Who is it?
It's the plumber,
I'm just gonna give him a hand.
Ah. Oh, yeah.
All the paperwork's in the van.
It's got a five-year guarantee,
and it's future proofed for when
the switch away from gas kicks in.
Couldn't make 'em any lighter,
though, eh?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
- You got it?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
- You all right?
- Yeah, yeah, fine.
- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah.
- What's happened?
- Nothing!
I'm fine! I slipped.
All right.
- You sure you're all right?
- Yes!
- Just here?
- Yeah.
OK.
Charlie!
Come on, Charlie!
Come on, let's go!
Oh-h-h-h! Ho-ho-ho
Yeah!
Yes, Charlie! Well done, great goal!
Dr Joseph O'Loughlin
..I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Catherine McCain.
- What?
- You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
which you later rely on in court.
- Are you joking?
- Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
- Serious?
- Sir, arms behind your back.
No, no, not this. Not here.
Love, it's fine, leave it.
Look, I'll call you later.
It's a misunderstanding,
It'll-It'll be fine.
Mum?
Dad!
Dad! Where are you going?
Dad!
We can confirm that
a 42-year-old man has been arrested
in connection to the murder
of Catherine
- Oh, my God!
- You all right, Mrs O'Loughlin?
Hey!
Oi!
Out!
Go on, get out!
Clear off! Go on, piss off!
Fucking paps.
How can they do that?
I couldn't catch them.
Thank you.
- Scumbags.
- Yeah.
I hate to tell you this
when you've got so much going on,
but, erm there's a real nightmare
under your floorboards,
that's why I've been here all day.
If I don't deal with it right away,
you're gonna have a flood on your hands.
Sorry.
You gonna be all right?
Yeah.
Well, I'll, er
..I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah. Thanks, DJ.
Case number 496.
This is the interview
with Dr Joseph O'Loughlin
in the presence of Mr Simon Cleaver.
I am DS Devi, also present is DI Ruiz.
Interview time, 21:50.
You served up Bobby Moran
to divert our attention.
No, I didn't.
Your notes on him that you
"so reluctantly" shared with us,
none of them make any sense.
He doesn't have a job, or a fiancee.
He lives in a hostel,
a hostel where everyone
who knows him seems to like him.
"A gentle spirit" is what one said.
He didn't grow up in London,
never been to a football match
with his dad,
the woman he assaulted,
didn't have a child with her.
So, he told me a pack of lies.
And he told us that you pushed him
into telling you about a woman
who self-harmed
and that you named her "Catherine".
The A&E doctor who treated him
has told us
that you were the only one
who smelt chloroform on him,
and you tried to make
a really big thing about it.
You knew we'd find traces
cos you were the one who used
chloroform on Catherine McCain.
No, I didn't.
All that play acting
about patient confidentiality!
You framed Moran because of
his recent violent episode,
you knew he roamed around at night,
how hard he finds it to explain himself.
I mean, he looks the part.
You were hoping for a bit of luck.
He's playing you.
Listen, we know Bobby Moran
didn't kill Catherine McCain!
He couldn't have!
We've got, like, what,
about a dozen witnesses
at an evening class
that can verify where he was
the night she disappeared.
And then he's cast iron all through
that night, at the hostel,
and into the next morning.
Again, verified by witnesses, CCTV.
He didn't do it.
Bobby Moran told you about his obsession
with the number 21
about a month before the murder.
Again, he said you kept pushing him
about it.
Then, after you killed Catherine McCain,
to pin it on him,
you stabbed her 21 times.
Again, it's a simple question.
That night, where were you
after ten o'clock?
I told you before,
I got drunk and then I went walking,
'and I walked and I walked and I,
to try and get sober.'
Sorry.
I didn't wanna go home drunk!
- What was your route?
- I
I was all over the place.
I don't know what my route was.
I mean, is memory loss
a symptom of Parkinson's?
Detective Inspector, please.
Well, perhaps we can jog
that memory for you.
We pulled Catherine's phone records.
The last call she ever made
..was to your office at 6:37.
My client has admitted
knowing the victim,
and he has also explained
that she applied for a job
at his practice.
We dredged the canal by the pub
where Catherine disappeared.
Horrible, messy job.
Bicycles, washing machines
I mean, all sorts.
And Catherine's handbag.
For the purposes of the tape,
I'm showing Dr O'Loughlin a
woman's handbag and a mobile phone.
Inside the bag, we found her phone.
And I've gotta say,
it's amazing what they can do
with tech these days.
They pieced together
a part of her calendar.
Catherine had an appointment
on the night she disappeared
with a J O.
J O?
Oh! Your initials.
Right?
- You arranged to meet.
- No, we didn't.
I think she was coming after you
because
- No!
- ..she'd been denied justice
- No, she wasn't.
- ..for over four years.
- I didn't sexually assault her!
- She was intent
on ruining your career
- and your marriage.
- No!
She happened to confront you
on the day you'd just been told
- you had a life-altering disease.
- That's not true.
You were beyond angry,
- and you killed her
- You don't You have nothing!
- ..in a way that made it look like
- You have nothing!
..demented actions
of one of your patients.
You have some initials on a calendar,
and you-you have a call to my office!
You've nothing!
- Shame we had to let him go.
- Mm.
CPS think we don't have enough yet.
It'll be a fight, but we need
to gain access to his client list
over the last 15 years,
find out if he abused any of 'em
or if any of them have gone missing.
Sir.
'..my favourite tunes there,
'and you're listening
to breakfast with Bonnie.'
What happened?
How can they get away with that?
Jumping to stupid conclusions,
no credible evidence whatsoever.
What?
I've gone along with your story.
But the day we were at the cemetery,
I didn't see you pick up a spade
and move it from your mother's grave.
OK
..but I did.
And I lied to the police
when I told them
that you came home around midnight.
You woke me, taking a shower.
I checked the clock, it was 4:30.
Maybe you got up in the middle
of the night to have a shower.
But you saying that you spent
all night on your own drinking,
that's not who you are, Joe.
I don't believe you.
Why didn't you say any of this before?
I was scared you were having an affair
and I didn't want it to be true.
But you met with her, didn't you?
You met with Catherine.
Joe, you're scaring me.
Oh, God! You were with her!
I didn't meet with Catherine,
I met with Cara.
Wait What, Cara? Why?
I don't know
The shock from the diagnosis,
I wanted to talk to somebody.
Something that important happens to you
and you don't come home to me?
I couldn't face telling you about it.
- So you went to a prostitute?
- She's a friend of mine
You would've had a plan,
I didn't want
You would've tried to make it better.
- I didn't want to make it better
- Oh, so it's my fault?
I'm not saying it's your fault,
I just
I wanted to fucking destroy everything!
Did you have sex with her?
Then you came home,
and you had a shower,
and you got into bed with me?
Did you use a condom?
You had sex with her,
and then you came home,
and you fucked me!
Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt you?
I'm just not used to this!
- You fucking coward!
- All right, I'm sorry. All right.
Get out!
You are not wanted in this house!
Get out!
- So, did you call them?
- No.
Joe, seriously,
go to the police, go now,
just tell them where you were.
Tell them what?
Tell them and the whole world
that my alibi for not having
murdered my ex-patient
was that I was having sex
with another ex-patient,
who just happens to be a sex worker.
Joe, she solves your problem.
Take the hit and move on
Cara will never be believed.
She'd be the worst possible alibi.
- But she IS your alibi!
- Oh, God
Look, I know
you've always been the good guy,
and now, you know,
you've been caught out,
- but I promise you
- Yeah, they're gonna love that,
aren't they? They're gonna be lining up.
I'll be struck off,
I'll lose everything,
the press will have a field day.
I'm not doing it, Jack.
I'm not giving them
the satisfaction of humiliating me.
Who's "them"?
Bobby Moran and whoever else
is setting me up.
Bobby Moran has a cast-iron alibi,
so, clearly, it's not him.
He is involved somehow.
I know he is, and-and
I mean, if he's not, what do we have?
All we have is the madness
of Catherine McCain killing herself
to get back at me. I'm not buying that.
This is a well-planned nightmare.
Right, "a well-planned nightmare".
Joe
Who on Earth
would want to do that to you?
I don't know.
Morning, Meena.
Joe?
Um
Given the circumstances
Yeah. I get it.
Being walked down the aisle
by a man with a coat over his head
isn't the look you were going for.
What? No, um the, er
the partners would like to meet
to talk things through with you.
- They've heard about your arrest.
- Oh, shit.
I know. God, you look dreadful.
Wh
Yesterday was my last day.
Just came to collect my things.
Got a patient waiting.
What are you doing here?
I have an appointment.
Wow, look at that.
You haven't been honest with me,
have you?
- Put that down, please.
- Oh
What? Are you afraid in case I bury it
in your head, Joe, is that what it is?
Joe, is that who you think I am, eh?
You think I could do something like that
because that-that's
what you told the police, isn't it?
I was arrested because of the things
that you said about me.
And I've been advised
by my solicitor to sue,
breach of confidentiality.
I'm here to make up my mind.
What do you know about Catherine McCain?
I know nothing about Catherine McCain!
You have been telling me a pack of lies.
I don't know who she is.
- Why have you been doing that?
- Boop, boop.
It's jumping, isn't it?
Isn't that what your job is?
To work out what's true and what isn't?
- No, that's the job of the patient.
- Mm.
Is there somebody
manipulating you, Bobby?
Making you do bad things?
Yeah, you're the one
who's manipulating me!
No, I am trying to help you.
"Now, Bobby, don't tell lies.
Don't waste his time!
"Just tell him what happened
and we can all go home.
"Please!" If you know anything
about Catherine McCain's death,
you need to tell me. Right now.
I'm gonna take my brief's advice,
and I'm gonna make him sue you.
What are you reading?
O'Loughlin's book.
Any good?
He goes into psychology
to help people with common phobias,
because, age 14, he watches
his mum die in a house fire.
We'll need to look into
how that fire got started.
That's what a career in murder
does for you.
'O'Loughlin trying to set up Bobby Moran
'as Catherine's killer
hasn't worked out for him, right?'
So, he's gonna need a new plan,
more confusion, more misdirection.
He'll try and convince everyone
that he is the one that's being set up.
He might even try and
convince himself that he's innocent.
But we'll stay on him.
He'll slip up
and we'll have him.
The diagnosis
I gave you last week still stands.
Early Onset Parkinson's.
I was a patient of his, many years ago.
Been working with Cara and the group
for, oh, quite some time.
'I've been asked to profile
a murder investigation
'where a woman was forced
to stab herself 21 times.'
We talked before about this number
being important to you, didn't we?
It's a bus, actually.
My dad drove a number 21 bus.
You were at the cemetery at the
same time as us finding the body?
'At the same time
as you finding the body.'
- Missing person.
- Liverpool.
Please, my replacement?
If you could take a moment
to consider the candidates?
Did you not recognise her
at the mortuary when you saw her?
No, no. I didn't.
We found documents in Catherine's room,
her account
of you sexually assaulting her.
And I was completely cleared.
Why is she back in our lives?
What else are you hiding?
- Doctor.
- Nurse?
Oh, Christ!
You'd better come with me.
I'm sorry, Dr O'Loughlin.
I just
..wanted the pain
to help block it all out.
Catherine, you're self-harming.
If you want my help, you'll have
to come and see me professionally.
Regular appointments, OK?
It's the only way I can help you.
Thank you.
'When Catherine came to see me, it
'it was clear that
the self-harming was getting worse, '
but these things take time.
It's a process.
Progress was slow,
but she did stop self-harming.
And she was my client
for, well, ten months, I think.
Until she made the allegation
that you sexually assaulted her
under hypnosis
- No.
- ..and then you were suspended
That happens
with any serious allegation.
An inquiry concluded
that there was no basis
So why'd she make the allegation?
I don't know why she made
the allegation, I
Look, it-it's not
It's common for some clients
to become infatuated
with their therapists, that happens.
I mean, I didn't see the signs at first,
but she did start wearing make-up
to the sessions and perfume.
'She would schedule our sessions
for the end of her shift
'so she could come in in her civvies.
'There was one occasion
she tried to kiss me,
'and I stopped her, '
another occasion where she tried
to undress in the room
and I stopped her too.
Maybe she was angry at the rejection.
Do you have a habit
of befriending your clients?
No, I don't.
Ah, yeah. Cara Velasco.
- Mm-hm.
- The sex worker
that I witnessed you meeting up with
when I made inquiries about Catherine.
Yeah, Cara's an ex-client of mine,
she's, um
She was one of my clients
from years ago, actually.
Do you keep
in touch with your male clients
or is it just the female ones?
I think you're aware that Cara
is helping me in my research
And like Catherine,
Cara is both attractive and damaged.
She served time for assault,
was sectioned
after she tried to commit suicide.
What has this got to do
with my client
- Dr O'Loughlin.
- Mm.
Tell me about your Friday, 23rd.
The-The date that Catherine disappeared?
Um
It was a usual morning.
I had clients until about three o'clock.
At four o'clock,
I went to the hospital to meet Dr Owens.
He confirmed my Parkinson's diagnosis
and I left around five o'clock,
I think.
'Then I just went walking.
'I was just walking,
trying to take it all in.
'Ended up in Soho, went to a few pubs.'
Oh, which ones?
Er
Honestly, I don't remember.
I was trying to deal with
It was a difficult time for me.
I had some bad news,
and I got stupidly drunk,
stayed for a few hours in town,
and and I left
and got home before midnight.
My wife can corroborate this.
And you've had no communication
with Catherine McCain
since she made those allegations
five years ago?
Look, there
There is something
that I haven't told you.
Um
Several weeks before
any of this happened,
she applied
for a job to be my receptionist.
Dr O'Loughlin,
I'm putting you under caution.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
which you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given
in evidence. Is that clear to you?
Yes, it is.
So, you didn't think to tell us
the moment you found out?
I think I'd like a word
with my client
No, no, it was the same feeling
I had at the mortuary.
It-It It didn't feel real.
It-It felt out of place,
and it
This is coming on top
of my Parkinson's diagnosis.
I-I just wasn't thinking clearly,
and if I had have been, I
So, you didn't tell us
that you were at the cemetery
when we found her body,
you didn't tell us that
you recognised her at the mortuary,
and you didn't tell us
that she applied to work for you?
Is there anything else
that you haven't told us
that might be rather important?
No.
Why would a woman who'd previously
accused you of sexual assault
apply for a job as your receptionist?
I don't know why she'd apply for a job!
Maybe she was still obsessed!
Obsessed enough to turn up dead
in a cemetery on the one day of the year
that you happen to be there?
I mean, is that what this is?
She arranged the whole thing
before stabbing herself 21 times
and then someone buried her?!
- Detective Inspector
- No, no, I had the same thought!
Let's hear it out loud!
Makes it sound even more crazy!
Nah, it's all pretty loose.
I think someone's had a go
at getting in here before.
That one's definitely a replacement,
but I can't tell
Sorry, excuse me.
Hi.
- Hi.
- 'How'd it go?'
Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
I mean, none of us understand
any of it, but
'But they've let you go?'
Of course they let me go.
Thank God.
'Er look, love,
I'm gonna go into work, '
I'm feeling OK now, so
I'll give you a buzz later, all right?
'I love you.'
- I love you.
- 'Bye-bye.'
I assume psychologists aren't big
on events being coincidental?
No, not really. Um
Look
I think there's a possibility
that one of my patients
might be involved in this somehow.
You can't withhold information
in a murder investigation.
No, I-I don't have any evidence
and I might be just grabbing
- for
- You've already set alarm bells off
by not saying that you recognised
the victim in the morgue.
Technically right now, I can't break
doctor patient confidentiality
If the police wanna speak to you again,
you might not have a choice.
Simon thank you. I appreciate it.
'And your dad?'
I was eight, and, er he went to work,
and he didn't come back.
What happened to him?
You know,
nothing was gonna knock him down,
not even those horses.
- Horses?
- Yeah, yeah.
I used to, like, sit
on his shoulders at football games,
you know, that was our thing.
We'd go to, like,
the Chelsea matches together,
and, you know, sometimes there'd be,
like, running fights between fans,
and the police would charge on horses
Like, and I know, then,
you know, I-I should've been scared,
but I
I never was, you know,
not not when I was with Dad.
What happened to him?
Hmm.
It wasn't his fault.
Did he abandon you?
- Abandon?
- Mm.
Joe, you know nothing about him!
Would you feel more comfortable
talking about your mother?
I don't want to remember her.
Because?
Cos, I haven't seen her in years,
that's why.
And she's dying of cancer.
And I'm glad.
You're glad?
Yeah.
She'd stay out and sleep with all types.
Me and my dad'd wait up for her
to get home in the mornings.
How would your dad take it?
I-I-I-I see him I see him
disappearing little by little.
Death by a thousand cuts.
"Death by a thousand cuts"?
What do you mean by
"death by a thousand cuts"?
That's how she should die.
Slow and in pain.
And I'd like to watch.
What would you say to her?
If you were there, watching?
Absolutely nothing.
How many times do you think
she'd have to stab herself
before she died?
Maybe she'd only get
to stab herself 21 times, Bobby.
You said 21 was the number
of the bus that your dad drove
He drove a bus
on lots of different routes,
it's just a random number.
Why do you keep on going on about it?
What's that?
It's a whale.
I do carvings and I like whales.
It keeps me calm
in situations like this.
I like the feel of it.
You have it.
Well, what else could I do, Joe?
I mean, it is a murder investigation.
Of course I had to say you'd been
accused of sexually assaulting her,
I mean, they had all the documents,
and it did nearly wreck your career
and your marriage, so
Come on, take a seat.
Let's Finger exercise.
You referred Bobby Moran to me,
when was it, six months ago?
Really, this again?
Yes, er, yeah I guess it was.
Fully NHS funded, thought I was
doing you a favour. You're welcome.
He seems overwhelmed
with violent desires to harm women.
And his description of how
he wants to watch his mother die,
it exactly mirrors Catherine's murder.
He said "death by a thousand cuts".
Mm-hm. Well, Joe,
"death by a thousand cuts" is a
is a common enough saying.
Yeah, but "slowly and in pain",
and he wants to be there?
OK, but does he have
any connection to Catherine McCain?
Well, not that I know of.
What is that?
It's a carving of a whale
that Bobby gave me.
Joe, we talk about patients becoming
obsessed with their doctors
Can become a two-way street.
Yeah.
The canal runs
right along the murder scene,
it's worth checking.
See?
Now, they know she's a nurse
and not a prostitute,
I get to spend some money.
A little late, but still.
How's it going?
The last two sightings
we have of Catherine McCain
are still in the afternoon.
Euston Station at 3:27
and then again at 4:17
from a street camera half a mile away.
- And O'Loughlin?
- Nothing new.
Cameras still have him going
in and out of Soho pubs,
but he's on his own.
Catherine doesn't show on any footage,
any footage of the Soho area
that afternoon or night.
Her flatmate thought
that she was seeing a man in London.
Well, her circles of association
have all been followed up.
- Sir?
- Nobody knows anything about him.
We've found something.
We got something?
What's that look like to you?
Whoa-whoa! What are you doing here?
Cool. Is that a portrait of Stormzy?
It's a whale.
He's just modelling for me.
Joe?
- Isn't it great?
- Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm I'm just taking it in.
That's a great whale.
Yeah, everyone in the class
is making something
for a seascape collage.
It's for the school auction.
It's in the diary.
Tomorrow evening?
- You said you'd make it.
- Yeah, I will.
Well done, love.
Did you have another session
with that patient
you thought might be involved?
Yeah.
He loves his father, hates his mother.
It's just, it keeps going around
and around in my head.
Catherine applying
to be my receptionist, and
the police finding her body
at the cemetery
on the one day of the year
that we're there.
It's up to the police
to find an explanation.
OK? Your job is to not get stressed.
Yeah. Stress is the worst thing
for Parkinson's.
You spend your whole day talking
through other peoples' problems.
We need to find time for ours.
Parkinson's isn't something
"superhero Joe" does on his own, OK?
And there's something
I want to talk to you about.
- What?
- I feel bad that I
wasn't with you when you went
to get your diagnosis confirmed.
No, I do, cos I should've been there.
And when you didn't come home,
and I couldn't get hold of you,
I felt helpless.
Sorry.
And all that time
you were on your own,
just drinking yourself stupid.
Let me go and check it.
- Hello?
- 'Dr O'Loughlin?'
Yeah. 'It's Dr Webster here
from East Middlesex A&E.
'Um I have a patient of yours,
a Mr Moran. Bobby Moran.
'Hello? Dr O'Loughlin?'
Yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm still here.
What happened?
'Oh, well, the police found him
lying on Waterloo Bridge.
'He's pretty battered up. Um
'he's in a very confused, anxious state,
'and he's asking for you.'
- I'll be right there.
- 'Thank you.'
You don't have to go.
I do.
Cuts and bruises. No concussion.
He was upsetting the other patients.
He kept talking about washing
"the blood from his hands",
so we kept him in the waiting room.
He's over there.
- Thanks, Doctor.
- No probs.
Mr Wilson, do you wanna come with me?
Hi, Bobby.
What were you doing on the bridge?
Can you tell me what you remember?
Um
I was I was, actually I was, um
I was going to bed with Jenni
if I'm honest.
- Jenni, your fiancee?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I must be driving her crazy.
I'm
I'm-I'm scared
that she won't marry me, Joe.
Is she all right?
Yeah.
Bobby?
- Have you hurt Jenni?
- No, look
I would never do anything like that,
Joe, and you know that, OK?
Yeah.
Do you hear the windmills?
- Windmills?
- Yeah, yeah, they, like
They keep everything going.
Like, you know,
without them everything would stop,
and, um
and if you, like, put your ear
to the ground, you know, you can
you can, um
you can hear them, that's
That's what I was doing on the bridge,
I was listening to them.
Well, what do you hear?
Screaming.
Who's screaming?
Well, the blades, you know,
they cut the air, and
the air screams in pain.
You know, I hurt people in dreams, Joe.
You know, I do bad things, but
..I know that you know I'm not bad,
mate.
How do you hurt them?
You know, hate is normal.
Everyone hates.
Who do you hate?
There's this woman
that keeps on turning up when, um
I don't expect her.
It's weird, actually.
- A woman?
- Yeah.
Can you describe her for me?
Does she have scars, Bobby?
Self-harming scars like you?
"Now, Bobby, don't tell lies!"
Please, don't make me say it,
not now. Thank you
What's she trying
to make you say, Bobby?
You know what? I've actually
just had had a warning.
I've got to get back to work.
Bobby, Bobby, the doctor told me
you were talking about washing blood
off your hands.
- No, I don't think I was, mate.
- Have you hurt someone tonight, Bobby?
No, of course I haven't hurt
What? Why do you keep on No!
What about the woman who shows up
when you don't expect her?
What's her name?
If I don't go now, I'll lose my job.
- Is her name Catherine?
- Jenni will throw me out. No!
- Please, come back and talk to me.
- Thank you.
Sorry, Doctor
Did you Did you smell
something off him right now?
- Er no.
- Like a sweet smell? A cloying
- I'm really sorry,
- I've gotta get on with this.
Chloroform. Did you smell chloroform
from him then?
No.
I'm really sorry,
but I don't have time for this.
Do you wanna come with me?
Sorry, mate.
'I thought you'd be a night owl.'
And why is that?
An owl's sleep pattern
helps their mind to operate better.
Is that from one of your books?
Did I miss something
on the pathology report?
'Like what?'
They didn't find traces of chloroform
on Catherine McCain, did they?
Why?
'This might sound morbid, right, but'
have any other women been reported
missing in the last 24 hours?
- Why are you asking?
- 'I'
Look, it's probably nothing.
No, no. Tell me what you know.
I still need to find out
more information.
I'm sorry for calling, Detective.
I'll talk to you soon.
No, no, look, wait
'Don't hang up!'
Excuse me? Eddie Barton?
I'm Dr Joe O'Loughlin.
We spoke about Bobby Moran's
psych report
for his upcoming sentencing.
Ah
- Thank you very much, Dr O'Loughlin.
- You're very welcome.
I just wanted to
hand it to you personally,
so I could ask you a few questions
about Bobby.
This might help mitigating
Bobby Moran's sentencing,
but I'm still
trying to understand Bobby.
Ha! "Understanding" them.
That would tip me over the edge.
All I know is the charge sheet
and the brief conversation
I had with him to arrange bail.
I don't ask my clients
to tell me the truth.
I don't expect it.
Do you know if Bobby had a history
of violent behaviour?
You're his doctor.
Yeah, I'm just concerned
that he's hiding his past from me.
As far as I know
it's a first-time offence.
With your experience,
is he likely to have been violent
in the past, especially to women?
He's a client,
I'm not gonna speculate on that.
You're not in the legal aid
business, are you?
Oh, is that the legal aid business
that went bust years ago?
He's a porter in a warehouse
on minimum wage.
Who's paying for you?
EDDIE CHUCKLES I'm not that expensive.
And, of course, I'd never say,
breach of confidence.
But then you'd know that, wouldn't you?
- "Doctor O'Loughlin."
- Thank you for your time.
Chancery Lane, please.
We've just broken the £2,000 mark!
Ah! Fantastic news!
Ladies and gentlemen, back to lot 17,
our rainbow shell. Going once
going twice, fair warning.
All done at £110!
So, moving straight on, we have lot 18.
And, I'll think you'll all agree,
a beautiful underwater seascape,
featuring a fantastic whale.
Who'll start us off at £10?
£10, I'm bid. Thank you, sir, very much.
Do I see 20? £20 here.
Have I got £30? Back to you, sir.
£40, thank you very much. And £50. £60.
£70. £80 and 90.
Getting closer to a hundred. £100!
Fantastic!
Anybody gonna take us further than £100?
I think it's yours, sir. Going
Yes?
Oh!
Oh.
A sealed bid.
Oh, they can't
- Five hundred pounds.
- Wow!
Wow!
Sir
any advance on £500?
- Yeah, fi
- Er, no!
Going once
going twice
We're all done at £500!
Ah! That is wonderful news.
Just give me a second.
Well, I think that's gonna look lovely.
Hi. Who bought the whale picture?
Oh, I'm sorry, that was a sealed bid.
Oh, come on, mate, a sealed bid,
it's a school auction,
it's not Sotheby's!
Well, no, but it was made in confidence.
- Give us a look at your book.
- What?
- Give me a look at it
- No, I'm
- What are you trying to hide?
- I'm not!
I want to see who bought
the fucking picture!
Joe! Joe!
I'm so sorry.
- What the hell was that about, Joe?
- I wanted the drawing.
I didn't want anyone else to have it.
So embarrassing.
You know, a generous parent
wanted to help the school
and remain anonymous.
It wasn't just about Charlie's painting.
Take a month off.
Take two.
Everyone will understand,
adjustment is hard.
And you must tell Charlie.
Yeah.
Come on.
Sir.
I've got something.
O'Loughlin sits like a statue
for 40 straight minutes.
22:18, he shoots up,
he's made a decision
Sorry, you go.
So, we've just interviewed two men
who say they were with Catherine
the night she disappeared.
They talked to her in a pub
about half a mile away
from where her body was discovered.
They said she left the pub
some time between 10:30 and 10:45.
They said she was gonna meet someone.
Good job.
Forensics took another look
at her corpse, right?
It tests positive for chloroform.
- Oh, my God.
- How the hell did he know that?
Sorry to interrupt you.
We just need to ask you
a couple of questions.
Thanks.
Right, how can I help?
OK, so when someone's been stabbed
that many times,
you don't bother looking for much else.
How did you know about the chloroform?
So you did find traces on Catherine?
How did you know we would?
I can't break doctor-patient
confidentiality, I'm sorry.
Actually, Dr O'Loughlin,
you have to divulge
confidential information
if a client communicates plausible
intention to do serious harm.
No, that's a duty
to protect an intended victim,
I've no idea what my client intends.
What I know is, that night I called you,
I smelt chloroform on him.
And is that why you asked about
any other women having gone missing?
I'd been suspicious
of his involvement
in Catherine's death
..ever since you told me
she was stabbed 21 times.
And, yes, I was concerned
that maybe he'd come
from attacking somebody else.
Well, he may have done, what's his name?
- I could be wrong.
- No.
No, no. Tell me what you know right now
or I will arrest you for
perverting the course of justice.
All right.
He has an appointment later today.
If you're right,
this Bobby Moran is one
seriously disturbed individual.
'Possible subject sighted.
- 'Heading towards you now.'
- Copy that.
Is this him?
- Yeah.
- Male subject approaching.
- 'Your shout.'
- Copy that.
Go. Go.
Bobby Moran?
I'm DS Devi, Metropolitan Police.
Can I have a word, please?
I've actually
got an appointment with my doctor,
I'm sorry, I can't speak Get off me!
Please get off me! I'm not well!
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Catherine McCain.
You do not have to say anything
That's it. Get him in the van
as quick as you can.
Get off me!
Get off!
Joe, please!
I've done nothing wrong! Why?
No, no, please!
Joe!
Joe!
- Thanks, Doctor.
- Detective
Maybe don't tell him I tipped you off.
Yeah, no, don't worry.
Your professional interests are,
of course, paramount.
Tell me this means
we're done with Bobby Moran now?
- Yeah, I think it does.
- Excellent.
Cos it's really not a good look
for the practice,
having clients dragged away in chains.
Short enough to memorise,
you'll come off as spontaneously witty,
I'll be the brilliant bride who
Your wedding speech?
Oh, yeah.
Joe, please don't back out.
No, no, no, I'm not.
I'm looking forward to it.
You can't save them all.
Last time,
we also spoke about you
keeping a journal?
I have, um actually been
um writing a lot about you.
Well, it-it just sometimes
feels like you're
the only person who really listens.
Who actually cares.
Charlie
..there's something
I want to talk to you about.
It's about what's been happening
to me lately.
Now, it's not scary.
And it happens to lots of
other people, too, but
I have an illness.
- It's called Parkinson's.
- Is it your hands shaking?
Yeah. Yeah, it is
it-it's my hand, and
and sometimes my leg.
But there's nothing else wrong with me,
I'm not gonna have to go to hospital
Are you gonna die?
No. No.
No, love, of course I'm not gonna die.
Your uncle Jack is looking after me.
He's a really clever doctor.
- Mr O'Loughlin?
- Yeah?
I'm DJ. The plumber.
- Oh, right.
- I've got your boiler.
You couldn't give us a hand, could you?
- Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- Who is it?
It's the plumber,
I'm just gonna give him a hand.
Ah. Oh, yeah.
All the paperwork's in the van.
It's got a five-year guarantee,
and it's future proofed for when
the switch away from gas kicks in.
Couldn't make 'em any lighter,
though, eh?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
- You got it?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
- You all right?
- Yeah, yeah, fine.
- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah.
- What's happened?
- Nothing!
I'm fine! I slipped.
All right.
- You sure you're all right?
- Yes!
- Just here?
- Yeah.
OK.
Charlie!
Come on, Charlie!
Come on, let's go!
Oh-h-h-h! Ho-ho-ho
Yeah!
Yes, Charlie! Well done, great goal!
Dr Joseph O'Loughlin
..I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Catherine McCain.
- What?
- You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
which you later rely on in court.
- Are you joking?
- Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
- Serious?
- Sir, arms behind your back.
No, no, not this. Not here.
Love, it's fine, leave it.
Look, I'll call you later.
It's a misunderstanding,
It'll-It'll be fine.
Mum?
Dad!
Dad! Where are you going?
Dad!
We can confirm that
a 42-year-old man has been arrested
in connection to the murder
of Catherine
- Oh, my God!
- You all right, Mrs O'Loughlin?
Hey!
Oi!
Out!
Go on, get out!
Clear off! Go on, piss off!
Fucking paps.
How can they do that?
I couldn't catch them.
Thank you.
- Scumbags.
- Yeah.
I hate to tell you this
when you've got so much going on,
but, erm there's a real nightmare
under your floorboards,
that's why I've been here all day.
If I don't deal with it right away,
you're gonna have a flood on your hands.
Sorry.
You gonna be all right?
Yeah.
Well, I'll, er
..I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah. Thanks, DJ.
Case number 496.
This is the interview
with Dr Joseph O'Loughlin
in the presence of Mr Simon Cleaver.
I am DS Devi, also present is DI Ruiz.
Interview time, 21:50.
You served up Bobby Moran
to divert our attention.
No, I didn't.
Your notes on him that you
"so reluctantly" shared with us,
none of them make any sense.
He doesn't have a job, or a fiancee.
He lives in a hostel,
a hostel where everyone
who knows him seems to like him.
"A gentle spirit" is what one said.
He didn't grow up in London,
never been to a football match
with his dad,
the woman he assaulted,
didn't have a child with her.
So, he told me a pack of lies.
And he told us that you pushed him
into telling you about a woman
who self-harmed
and that you named her "Catherine".
The A&E doctor who treated him
has told us
that you were the only one
who smelt chloroform on him,
and you tried to make
a really big thing about it.
You knew we'd find traces
cos you were the one who used
chloroform on Catherine McCain.
No, I didn't.
All that play acting
about patient confidentiality!
You framed Moran because of
his recent violent episode,
you knew he roamed around at night,
how hard he finds it to explain himself.
I mean, he looks the part.
You were hoping for a bit of luck.
He's playing you.
Listen, we know Bobby Moran
didn't kill Catherine McCain!
He couldn't have!
We've got, like, what,
about a dozen witnesses
at an evening class
that can verify where he was
the night she disappeared.
And then he's cast iron all through
that night, at the hostel,
and into the next morning.
Again, verified by witnesses, CCTV.
He didn't do it.
Bobby Moran told you about his obsession
with the number 21
about a month before the murder.
Again, he said you kept pushing him
about it.
Then, after you killed Catherine McCain,
to pin it on him,
you stabbed her 21 times.
Again, it's a simple question.
That night, where were you
after ten o'clock?
I told you before,
I got drunk and then I went walking,
'and I walked and I walked and I,
to try and get sober.'
Sorry.
I didn't wanna go home drunk!
- What was your route?
- I
I was all over the place.
I don't know what my route was.
I mean, is memory loss
a symptom of Parkinson's?
Detective Inspector, please.
Well, perhaps we can jog
that memory for you.
We pulled Catherine's phone records.
The last call she ever made
..was to your office at 6:37.
My client has admitted
knowing the victim,
and he has also explained
that she applied for a job
at his practice.
We dredged the canal by the pub
where Catherine disappeared.
Horrible, messy job.
Bicycles, washing machines
I mean, all sorts.
And Catherine's handbag.
For the purposes of the tape,
I'm showing Dr O'Loughlin a
woman's handbag and a mobile phone.
Inside the bag, we found her phone.
And I've gotta say,
it's amazing what they can do
with tech these days.
They pieced together
a part of her calendar.
Catherine had an appointment
on the night she disappeared
with a J O.
J O?
Oh! Your initials.
Right?
- You arranged to meet.
- No, we didn't.
I think she was coming after you
because
- No!
- ..she'd been denied justice
- No, she wasn't.
- ..for over four years.
- I didn't sexually assault her!
- She was intent
on ruining your career
- and your marriage.
- No!
She happened to confront you
on the day you'd just been told
- you had a life-altering disease.
- That's not true.
You were beyond angry,
- and you killed her
- You don't You have nothing!
- ..in a way that made it look like
- You have nothing!
..demented actions
of one of your patients.
You have some initials on a calendar,
and you-you have a call to my office!
You've nothing!
- Shame we had to let him go.
- Mm.
CPS think we don't have enough yet.
It'll be a fight, but we need
to gain access to his client list
over the last 15 years,
find out if he abused any of 'em
or if any of them have gone missing.
Sir.
'..my favourite tunes there,
'and you're listening
to breakfast with Bonnie.'
What happened?
How can they get away with that?
Jumping to stupid conclusions,
no credible evidence whatsoever.
What?
I've gone along with your story.
But the day we were at the cemetery,
I didn't see you pick up a spade
and move it from your mother's grave.
OK
..but I did.
And I lied to the police
when I told them
that you came home around midnight.
You woke me, taking a shower.
I checked the clock, it was 4:30.
Maybe you got up in the middle
of the night to have a shower.
But you saying that you spent
all night on your own drinking,
that's not who you are, Joe.
I don't believe you.
Why didn't you say any of this before?
I was scared you were having an affair
and I didn't want it to be true.
But you met with her, didn't you?
You met with Catherine.
Joe, you're scaring me.
Oh, God! You were with her!
I didn't meet with Catherine,
I met with Cara.
Wait What, Cara? Why?
I don't know
The shock from the diagnosis,
I wanted to talk to somebody.
Something that important happens to you
and you don't come home to me?
I couldn't face telling you about it.
- So you went to a prostitute?
- She's a friend of mine
You would've had a plan,
I didn't want
You would've tried to make it better.
- I didn't want to make it better
- Oh, so it's my fault?
I'm not saying it's your fault,
I just
I wanted to fucking destroy everything!
Did you have sex with her?
Then you came home,
and you had a shower,
and you got into bed with me?
Did you use a condom?
You had sex with her,
and then you came home,
and you fucked me!
Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt you?
I'm just not used to this!
- You fucking coward!
- All right, I'm sorry. All right.
Get out!
You are not wanted in this house!
Get out!
- So, did you call them?
- No.
Joe, seriously,
go to the police, go now,
just tell them where you were.
Tell them what?
Tell them and the whole world
that my alibi for not having
murdered my ex-patient
was that I was having sex
with another ex-patient,
who just happens to be a sex worker.
Joe, she solves your problem.
Take the hit and move on
Cara will never be believed.
She'd be the worst possible alibi.
- But she IS your alibi!
- Oh, God
Look, I know
you've always been the good guy,
and now, you know,
you've been caught out,
- but I promise you
- Yeah, they're gonna love that,
aren't they? They're gonna be lining up.
I'll be struck off,
I'll lose everything,
the press will have a field day.
I'm not doing it, Jack.
I'm not giving them
the satisfaction of humiliating me.
Who's "them"?
Bobby Moran and whoever else
is setting me up.
Bobby Moran has a cast-iron alibi,
so, clearly, it's not him.
He is involved somehow.
I know he is, and-and
I mean, if he's not, what do we have?
All we have is the madness
of Catherine McCain killing herself
to get back at me. I'm not buying that.
This is a well-planned nightmare.
Right, "a well-planned nightmare".
Joe
Who on Earth
would want to do that to you?
I don't know.
Morning, Meena.
Joe?
Um
Given the circumstances
Yeah. I get it.
Being walked down the aisle
by a man with a coat over his head
isn't the look you were going for.
What? No, um the, er
the partners would like to meet
to talk things through with you.
- They've heard about your arrest.
- Oh, shit.
I know. God, you look dreadful.
Wh
Yesterday was my last day.
Just came to collect my things.
Got a patient waiting.
What are you doing here?
I have an appointment.
Wow, look at that.
You haven't been honest with me,
have you?
- Put that down, please.
- Oh
What? Are you afraid in case I bury it
in your head, Joe, is that what it is?
Joe, is that who you think I am, eh?
You think I could do something like that
because that-that's
what you told the police, isn't it?
I was arrested because of the things
that you said about me.
And I've been advised
by my solicitor to sue,
breach of confidentiality.
I'm here to make up my mind.
What do you know about Catherine McCain?
I know nothing about Catherine McCain!
You have been telling me a pack of lies.
I don't know who she is.
- Why have you been doing that?
- Boop, boop.
It's jumping, isn't it?
Isn't that what your job is?
To work out what's true and what isn't?
- No, that's the job of the patient.
- Mm.
Is there somebody
manipulating you, Bobby?
Making you do bad things?
Yeah, you're the one
who's manipulating me!
No, I am trying to help you.
"Now, Bobby, don't tell lies.
Don't waste his time!
"Just tell him what happened
and we can all go home.
"Please!" If you know anything
about Catherine McCain's death,
you need to tell me. Right now.
I'm gonna take my brief's advice,
and I'm gonna make him sue you.
What are you reading?
O'Loughlin's book.
Any good?
He goes into psychology
to help people with common phobias,
because, age 14, he watches
his mum die in a house fire.
We'll need to look into
how that fire got started.
That's what a career in murder
does for you.
'O'Loughlin trying to set up Bobby Moran
'as Catherine's killer
hasn't worked out for him, right?'
So, he's gonna need a new plan,
more confusion, more misdirection.
He'll try and convince everyone
that he is the one that's being set up.
He might even try and
convince himself that he's innocent.
But we'll stay on him.
He'll slip up
and we'll have him.
