♪ ♪ ♪ Carol: Tara's mother's name is Mary Jane Bulmore.

She's alive, and she's currently detained in a psychiatric unit on a murder charge.

Ridley: It was Tara's father that she murdered in an arson attack, and as you can imagine, it's the kind of a family secret that Tara is understandably ashamed of.

She's been visiting her mother for a year now.

Those trips she's been making to Renton.

Why didn't she tell me?

All these years, she's been lying to me.

Did you know your wife was pregnant, Mr. Dunning?

You must have got that wrong.

Uh, she had a scan a couple of days ago.

It's confirmed.

She's 16 weeks'.

16 weeks'?

It doesn't even make any sense.

We haven't been-- We haven't been intimate in a while.

So are you telling us you're not the father?

I'm telling you you've made a mistake.

We understand that Tara had some problems after Leo was born.

She was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis.

She could barely even look at Leo the day we brought him home.

I thought it was a touch of the baby blues, but...it just got worse.

She told us Leo had been cursed, that it wasn't really her child.

I--I was worried she might want to hurt him.

That must have been really hard on both of you.

The best part of a year it took her to get better, and we decided after that, we--we couldn't risk having any more children, so I know she isn't pregnant, right?

Look, Rob.

Your wife hasn't been truthful to you for some time, so we have to consider the possibility that she may have been having an affair.

No, she wasn't!

Easy, now.

Easy.

It may have some bearing on her disappearance.

You two should be out there looking for her, talking to Jason Dover instead of coming round here trying to pick holes in my marriage!

I know this is a lot to take in, Mr. Dunning.

I'd like youse to leave now, please.

Yeah?

[Door slams] She'd been feeding him a tissue of lies-- her mother, that charity.

If he'd found out that she'd been playing away, then maybe that tipped him over the edge.

Oh, come on.

You saw his face when we told him she was pregnant.

He had no idea.

Well, someone had a hand in it.

I've just heard back from Jensen Mills.

The gaffer confirmed that Jason Dover was working with his Rangers the day that Tara went missing.

Didn't leave the team all day.

Huh.

Well, that pretty much rules him out.

Well, I finally cracked Celia Machin's laptop.

There's a document saved on her desktop.

♪ Carol: "If you do not take steps to end the affair, your wife will find out everything."

What?

Celia Machin is blackmailing someone?

[Bell ringing] [Buzzer] [Latches turning] ♪ I checked Tara's phone logs, and apparently, she phoned you the morning before she disappeared.

She must have been inquiring after her mother.

No, that's not gonna wash, Dr. Assi, because we know that Tara Dunning was pregnant.

You told us that you had discussed her medical history, postpartum psychosis.

She finds out she's going to have a baby, there's a chance of another breakdown.

Who is the person she's gonna turn to?

She'd just spoken to her GP, rang me to share the news.

And what advice did you give her?

I offered to organize her a termination.

Is that what Tara wanted?

She couldn't risk having another baby.

So she makes a call to you, and soon after, she disappears.

Any doctor I know would be concerned.

I was worried that she might have done something stupid.

What?

And you didn't feel the necessity to share that?

I made her a promise that anything she told me would stay in that room.

Did she tell you who the father was?

I assumed it was her husband.

Well, her husband is none the wiser.

Well, I'm afraid I can't enlighten you.

Thanks, Dr. Assi.

I'll see meself out.

Oh, by the way, you don't know a lady called Celia Machin by any chance?

Tara works with her in a little cafe in the village.

Not that I remember, no.

Why do you ask?

Because she was found dead yesterday morning.

Sorry to hear that.

♪ Ridley: OK, Tara.

On you go.

We'd been having an affair.

It had all ended badly.

And then you found out you were pregnant.

I called him to tell him the news.

He wouldn't let me come to the hospital.

You bought a train ticket to Renton, didn't you?

Tara, we know your mother is a patient there.

We spoke to Mary Jane two days ago.

[Sobs] Vikram knew my mum better than anyone.

The condition I'd inherited.

I think he just saw me as a fascinating case study.

And that's when the affair started.

I was fragile, vulnerable.

He seemed to be the only one who really understood me.

We know that you were ill after Leo was born.

I was sectioned.

The prospect of going through all of that again, it terrified me.

And Dr. Assi, he suggested a termination, didn't he?

I thought a baby might have changed things, that with the right care, we might have had a future together.

I insisted on seeing him just to sort things through.

You went to meet him up in Colden Crags?

I--I--I dropped Leo off at school, and I drove up there.

[Wind blowing] I wasn't feeling too good.

I hadn't been taking my pills.

I can't have this baby without you!

You're not having this baby at all.

No.

This is your son, our son!

Do you really think you're well enough to have another child?

You can barely look after yourself!

I was upset, angry.

I was barely thinking straight.

You think you can just walk away from this?

I have a wife, a family.

I can't go back to that farm, to Rob!

I won't... You've been lying to him for months.

He never needs to know about any of this!

Do you really think I'm gonna go quietly?

And I told him that everyone was gonna find out what kind of man he was.

He grabbed me.

He wrapped his hands around my throat.

I fought back.

I--I punched him.

I pushed him off me, and I got back in my car, and I drove away, but I could see that he was still following me.

[Sobbing] I panicked.

I lost control, I went off the road.

[Tires squeal] ♪ The next thing I remember is waking up on his boat.

Well, how did you know it was his boat?

We'd met up there a couple of times.

I don't need to tell you why.

And he held you on this boat for 4 days?

He must have kept me under.

I really don't remember.

You said that the affair ended badly.

Can you tell us why?

Vikram said that somebody had found out, threatened to tell his wife.

It was Celia.

I swore her to secrecy.

Ridley: Did you know that she wrote a letter to him warning him off?

Not until a few weeks later.

Ridley: You called her the morning you went missing, didn't you?

I should have been working.

I wanted to make sure she wasn't snowed under.

Right.

You see, that's strange because... she made no reference to that call when we spoke to her.

Celia can be forgetful.

Carol: Did you ever discuss this letter with Vikram?

I told him that she was just being overprotective.

♪ Why--why--why do you ask?

Darren: You've got a record of his movements in the past 5 days.

He'd certainly been coming and going.

You'd need to check his diary.

Hmm.

We'll need a copy of these logs.

I'm not sure if I should mention this, but it might be important.

Off the record, if that helps.

He'd been pulled up for fraternizing with a female patient.

She claimed he'd abused his position.

He denied it, of course.

Unreliable witness.

The complaint went away.

♪ [Indistinct chatter] ♪ Wendy: Well, someone had definitely been sleeping here.

That cardigan, other items of clothing were found under the bed.

We got traces of lipstick on this glass.

I mean, we'll check it for Tara's DNA, any residue of a sedative.

Mm-hmm.

And any, uh, specific evidence that Vikram Assi was here.

Oh, his prints are all over the place, but that's to be expected if this is his boat.

Yeah.

What's the story with these cable ties?

I'm assuming she was restrained with them, found the knife in that cutlery drawer, and managed to cut herself free.

Yes, but there were absolutely no marks on her wrists when we interviewed her.

You would expect to find contusions, yeah, even if she had been sedated.

Exactly, and she also claimed that her assailant grabbed her by the throat, and there were no bruises there either.

I mean, what do you think's going on with this young woman?

It can be difficult sometimes to manage expectations.

Expectations?

I had trouble bonding with both of my children.

Tricky deliveries, first few months a bit of a slog, exhaustion, anxiety.

I just wanted someone to take them away.

I know what she must have been going through and that feeling that you're less of a woman.

I'm--I'm sorry, Wendy.

I really didn't know.

It isn't really something one tends to share, even with old friends.

Give me a crime scene any day.

Oh, yeah.

By the way, that Inner Wheel thing, count me in.

I'll keep you posted.

This is a copy of a blackmail letter sent to you by Celia Machin.

I'd like you to read it, please.

Hmm.

Arrived at the hospital a few weeks ago.

The letter was anonymous.

So you're admitting to being in a relationship with Tara Dunning?

We had an ill-advised fling.

It was a mistake.

I ended it.

Ridley: She was a very vulnerable girl, and she came to you looking for help, and you abused that trust.

A lapse of judgment.

That's not the phrase I would use, Dr. Assi.

Did you go up to meet Tara at Colden Crags the day she disappeared?

We checked your log books with the head of security up at Renton, so we know there wasn't a conference.

She called me to tell me she was pregnant.

She claimed that the baby was mine, but she was manic, unpredictable.

I couldn't let her come to the hospital.

So what, she became some kind of liability that you no longer had control of?

She seemed to think that we could have had some kind of future together.

But that was never gonna happen.

I wasn't about to jeopardize my marriage.

Oh, right.

OK. Well, that might explain why you were lying through your teeth.

I had a reputation to consider.

Let's consider your reputation.

You've got a bit of form about getting too close to your patients, haven't you?

She was a convicted offender with a dubious history.

I was cleared of any major wrongdoing.

Meaning it was nicely brushed underneath the carpet.

Carol: You own a narrowboat, don't you?

On the Dog Rose Canal, moored in the marina about a mile along the towpath from Colden Lock.

We use it for family holidays.

We have here a statement from Tara Dunning claiming that you held her there against her will.

What?

She was found on the towpath traumatized and confused.

This is her cardigan that was found on your boat, Dr. Assi.

Would you care to explain to us how it got there?

I have no idea.

Her DNA is all over the boat, so the evidence suggests that she is telling the truth.

Tara Dunning is a fantasist.

The delusions, paranoia, they're symptomatic of her illness.

Carol: You have unrestricted access to a controlled drugs cabinet.

Is that right?

It's hardly unusual.

I am the clinical lead.

Tara Dunning was sedated when we found her.

She's been tested by a doctor.

Those are the kind of drugs anybody in Renton could get their hands on.

She was pregnant, yes?

Now, do you really think I'd risk harming my own child?

Well, you'd already suggested a termination.

Maybe that's the only reason she's still alive.

Which brings us nicely back to this letter.

See, Tara Dunning has implicated you in the death of Celia Machin.

I've already told you I've never heard of this Celia Machin.

Well, Tara remembers things differently.

She says she gave you her name.

Yeah.

The name of the only other person who knew about your affair, which gives you motive for wanting her dead.

Clearly, she's trying to set me up.

This is her twisted idea of payback.

All because you ended things.

Or has he?

You don't sound convinced.

Well, he says he's got a cast-iron alibi that he was with his wife the night that Celia was murdered.

Maybe she's covering for him.

Let's think about this.

Vikram Assi--he breaks into Celia's house with the intention of removing any evidence that might tie him to Tara's disappearance.
