The Suspect - First Season

Is there anything else that you haven't told us

that might be rather important?

No.

Shame we had to let him go. Mm.

CPS think we don't have enough yet.

I lied to the police when I told them

that you came home around midnight.

I checked the clock, it was 4:30.

No, I hurt people in dreams, Joe. I do bad things, but...

But I know that you know I'm not bad, mate.

I didn't meet with Catherine, I met with Cara.

Get out!

You served up Bobby Moran to divert our attention.

Please get off, I'm not well!

I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Catherine McCain.

Bobby Moran has a cast-iron alibi, so, clearly, it's not him.

He is involved somehow. I know he is.

You were beyond angry. And you killed her like

the demented actions... You have nothing!

I know nothing about Catherine. Stop going on about it.

You have been telling me a pack of lies.

Isn't that your job? To work out what's true and what isn't?

He'll try and convince everyone that he's the one that's being set up.

He might even try and convince himself that he's innocent.

But he'll slip up, and we'll have him.

Oh! God! Oh, sorry.

Sorry, darling, that was my fault. I should've given you the heads-up.

Yeah, this is um... This is Joe.

Hi.

He's an old friend who is a bit down on his luck

at the moment so... Well...

Hello, Joe, I'm Sarah.

I'm sorry about your luck.

It's all right.

When's Daddy coming home?

I don't know, sweetheart.

I've spoken to Mrs Palmer.

Why does she have to know?

Good morning.

Because some people are talking about Daddy

cos the police made a mistake

and if anyone teases you about it, I want the teachers to sort it,

and I want them to take care of you.

I could just be with you.

Well, I've got work and you've got school.

You know how much we love you.

Mwah!

Daddy and I will sort this out. OK.

Her flat mate has told us

that Catherine was seeing a man in London.

Another of Catherine's co-workers has corroborated that.

O'Loughlin denies any contact with Catherine

in the last five years.

If he's the mystery man...

how'd they communicate?

We pulled his phone records and hers, there's nothing there.

Well, go through them again,

chase every call he's made in the last five years,

just in case he slipped up. Sir.

Her flatmate, Carl Ashley,

he said that Catherine kept her affair "close to her...

"like a comfort".

She enjoyed the secret.

That's how O'Loughlin manipulated her. Hello?

The importance of the secret.

He probably used a couple of burners for them to talk.

But Catherine applying for the job as his secretary

and then ringing the office that night... was against the rules.

Thank you.

That was one of our door knockers.

A neighbour saw O'Loughlin burying something

in his back garden a couple of nights ago.

The murder weapon?

Let's break out the shovels. Let's go.

Right? The rest of you, be... better!

Did you tell Julianne?

Yeah.

And?

Yeah, not good. Ah...

Well, you'd just had the worst day of your life,

so you slept with a friend in a moment of crisis.

She threw me out.

Don't blame her.

Just got to give her some space.

Well, don't expect me to agree that we did anything wrong,

I liked being that close to you.

Can we not tell her that I took advantage of you?

No, no, no, no. I knew what I was doing.

So, only Julianne knows that we were together that night,

I haven't told the police.

Do we have to?

Well, I want them to rule me out of their investigation, so...

OK?

And you're the only alibi I've got.

I'm-I'm so sorry, Cara, I... Oh, no, no.

There must be another way.

I can't go back into another interview room,

you know I can't do that... I'm really sorry.

I'll make sure they understand the trauma

you've been through before... "Trauma"?

Which one?

Fighting off the six men who raped me?

Or being sent to prison for hurting one of them?

No, I can't! They, they won't believe me anyways.

Cara, unless I've an alibi

for where I was between ten and four that night... What...

But you left way before that, you were gone by 12:30.

But I didn't leave!

I didn't. I was outside on the steps,

I was there for hours, trying to get my head together,

and then I... I walked home.

But I didn't see any of that.

Joe, are you asking me to lie to the police?

No.

No. No, no. Of course not.

It was a goldfish!

My husband, he buried our daughter's goldfish.

In the middle of the night?

I don't know when he did it, I just know he did.

I'm, er...

sorry to add to your troubles,

but I've had to turn the water off for a couple of hours.

I could go out with a shovel, put it right when they've finished.

That's kind of you, but... it's all right.

Do you want some coffee?

You always say no to mine.

Taste this, you'll see why.

Can I get a couple more bags here, please?

It's all right, innit?

Yeah, I see why.

Sir! I found something.

Now do you believe me?

That's an old jewellery box of mine.

I told you, a goldfish.

Mrs O'Loughlin, have you had any further thoughts?

About what?

The exact time that your husband came home that night.

Did you talk to him - about where he'd been?

I have nothing more to add.

A loyal but lying wife?

I think he may have played us again, you know.

He does something completely innocent,

he buries his daughter's dead goldfish,

but he does it at night,

knowing his security light will bang on,

and if he makes enough noise a neighbour's gonna take a look,

and think he's up to no good, so they tell us.

We show up... with the circus

to catch the killer and we prove to everyone

that O'Loughlin is just an innocent, hounded victim.

Yeah.

Yeah, she's lying.

He'll be manipulating everyone around him,

trying to convince them of his innocence.

What are you up to?

Going through Bobby Moran's heath records and my notes on him.

God, I... I've still no idea who he is

or how he's involved in Catherine's murder.

What's his diagnosis?

I've been thinking Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Could explain the lying,

unpredictable change of behaviour

and personality, the different voices...

But you're not sure.

No.

I'd need more sessions with him.

Well, you're not allowed to go anywhere near him.

I just think somebody's manipulating him.

It's the only explanation.

I just need to find out who it is.

Rache.

Mm? Have a look at this.

I've just checked his patient file with his hospital number.

Look.

He's two sets of records.

What do you mean?

He's registered under a different name.

His name isn't Bobby Moran. It's Bobby Morgan.

That could just be a simple spelling mistake.

Duplicate records happen all the time.

No, no, no. It's more than that, it's the pattern to his lying,

things are... almost right, but they're not.

He changed one letter. I've seen this before in patients,

they do it to keep their lies in order.

Look, this is his first referral letter to the hospital.

Joe, are you sure this is ethical?

Not entirely, but he's been lying to me.

Look, he's not from London, he's from Liverpool.

That's his connection to Catherine McCain, Liverpool!

Oh, my God. Isn't that where you trained?

Yeah. All these names and places he talked about,

I think some of them might be real.

I need to go there,

talk to the people that he spoke about,

and see if there's some tangible connection to Catherine...

Joe, you've been arrested

and cautioned on suspicion of murder,

you can't go around talking to witnesses.

It will make you look even more guilty.

Rachel, the police are fixed on me, they're not looking for the truth.
