Always has to be about you. Mummy. Just give it to her. Give it to her now! Did Kate talk about her marriage at all? CRIES: I don't want to feel like this any more. Puts on a good show, doesn't he? See here? They've all been injected with something. Which one of the girls, was it? Emily. She was running. she fell. And he caught up with her. Who did? Her dad. Mummy, no. CHILDREN CHATTER Happy birthday, darling. Happy birthday. Happy birthday! ON PHONE: Simon's organising another karaoke night. Oh, please, no. I think he fancies you. I see the way he looks at you every time you walk in the room. I think he's quite hot, for a headmaster. He's quite attractive, I suppose. Till he opens his mouth. Jess, he literally said, "There's no I in team." I said, "There might not be an I in team, "but there are a fair few twats, if you look hard enough." How's Jess? Yeah, good. Ah... Did you come? I'm tired. Jess came when I fucked her. Mum's been on the phone about Charlotte's birthday. She'll probably just meet us at the beach now. But she was asking about the cake. Is she making it, or is Ruth? She said something about a unicorn theme. Is that right? Princesses, I get. Unicorns? Are they a thing now? I don't know. Girls! Three minutes warning! Love you. Bye, Dad. See you, girls. Love you, Daddy. OK, don't forget your bag. Got it. Bye, Dad. Drunk all the water in the...? Vase. In the vase? Will you set the table? Why Jess? Why Sasha? Why is it always the friends I love the most? I really hope you're not going to be like this when Mum gets here. Just get a new one. It's a good boiler. But you've no water or heating! It's done well. It must be 40 years old now. Jesus Christ. It'll be spouting carbon monoxide. Tell her. This is lovely. Is there any more? Sure. Help yourself. Sit down, Mum. I don't mind. Kate'll do it. Honestly, it's fine. She doesn't mind, Tom. Get her some fucking food. CHILD: Please, can we have another story? No. Please. No more stories. Did you love your wife, Tom? Yes. And did she love you? Yes. I don't know what else you want me to say. I'm now showing Tom a tablet with a video on it. Do you mind having a look at this for us, please? Sure. Go ask Dad to film it, he'll take it. OK. Daddy, come watch our show. In a minute. Can I film it? Yeah, course you can. Just give me a sec. OK. CHILDREN SING IN BACKGROUND Do you know when that was taken? No idea. About 24 hours before the fire. Well, I'll have to take your word for that. What...you don't remember taking it? No. You look quite emotional there, Tom. Really? Mmm. As if you're trying to say something. Well, what do you think it looks like? Like I didn't realise my phone was on. Looks to me as if you wanted to get something off your chest. No. Tom, you don't have to answer. I know. I just want you to be aware. I'm aware, Nicky. Thank you, thank you. Where did you train, Tom? ..did I train? To be a GP. Edinburgh. So, you've got, what, a PhD? No. I did seven years of medical training. OK. Can you explain to us how insulin works? Erm, insulin is needed by the body to regulate sugar levels. And if you have too much? Is that what she used? Who injected you, Tom? Kate...in the girl's bedroom. Why didn't you put up a fight, Tom? There was nothing to fight for. Not even your own life? My three children were dead in front of me. How do you know they were dead? I'm a doctor. I've seen death. I know... I know death. Where do you think Kate got the insulin from? At a guess, I would say my bag. Which was where? In the car. I keep it in the boot of the car. Why did you have insulin in your bag? In case of emergencies. Is that usual procedure? What do you mean? Well, do most doctors carry insulin? I can't speak for most doctors. I'm just wondering whether it's common practice. Well, it's common practice for me. OK. Thank you. Er...take a quick break, shall we? Err, same again? Bit stronger this time, if you don't mind, yeah. Sure. Look at him. He looks so relaxed.

What does that look like to you? Put them away, please. They're pine needles. Emily was seen outside 15 minutes before the fire. That's not possible. Why would that be? Would you put them away, please? We have an eyewitness who saw her in the woods. And they saw you, too. You were dragging her back towards your house. No. She was scared and screaming. Who told you that? And you brought her back to this. WHO TOLD YOU THAT? So, how do you explain the pine needles? Look... Kate lost it, all right? Emily got scared. She ran. Kate chased her. Kate lost it. Yeah. About what? She was chatting to Simon at the ceilidh. Simon Wells? Yes. I just... I was asking her what she was talking to him about. And what did she say? Nothing. That, was it. She lost it. She lost it because you asked about Simon? Yeah. Up there in that room? Yes. If she lost it upstairs, in that room with you... ..when did she inject the girls? Was it before or after she ran after Emily? You say she injected you in the kids' bedroom. Is that right? That's what you said. "My three children were dead in front of me." That's right, yeah. Except they weren't in front of you, were they? I found you in your bedroom. I walked away when I saw what she'd done. You walked away... Yeah. ..when you saw what she'd done. When I saw, yeah. But that's not what you've been saying, is it? So, which is it? Which is the truth? Or is it all a lie, Tom? Is everything you've said here a lie, Tom? No comment. * Name? Thomas Kendrick.

I want a restraining order against him. Tom. It's harassment. You shouldn't be near these people. He clearly has some kind of vendetta. You shouldn't be near these people. It shows what sort of guy he is! It shows you breached your bail conditions. Oh, come on, Nicky. For once, take my advice. Let it slide. You want to garner some sympathy, I get it.

I mean, Tom has always seemed like such a lovely man. So?! And if Kate was scared, why didn't she just leave him? That's what I don't understand. Jesus, Sandra.

I keep...trying to... ..pin it down. It slips away. HE SIGHS That house was so full of life, wasn't it? I wonder whether it's... Oh, I don't know. When Charlotte was born, she was so poorly. I mean, that was hard for me, but Kate... I remember lying with her and she was crying her heart out and just holding her, and I just thought, "If I just worked harder and keep going..." Yeah... That pressure was... What did you need to tell me, Tom? I should've died, too. You can't see pain. You know? People can be in agony, you'll look at their MRI or their X-ray and... ..just... People walk around with so much pain, no-one sees it. What pain? My dad, he would... ..hurt me... ..for nothing, just... I broke a plate once, and he made me pick up the pieces and then he... ..stood on my arm until the bone snapped. Mum was there, she didn't do anything. If...if Kate was hurting those girls, I was upstairs. They found me upstairs! So, all I can think is, maybe... ..I saw what she'd done to them and... Cos if I'd seen... I couldn't have watched... ..my girls suffer. That's all I can think. Just needed to tell someone. DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS PHONE DIAL TONE "Hi, this is Steve. Leave a message after the beep."
