Short filmTranscript
00:00Ruth's expecting us, yeah?
00:02But she said she'd be in all morning.
00:04Yeah, I'm just so sorry.
00:06I know, it's way too late.
00:08He's involved in this.
00:09You don't know that.
00:10He was there.
00:12I know who you are.
00:14I'm gonna put you away.
00:17Under his bed there's an old case.
00:19What do you think's inside?
00:20There are Polaroids of every victim that he has killed.
00:25Oh my God, God, no!
00:28I'm his wife.
00:29What's happening?
00:57She's dead.
01:27Hugh?
01:28Ruth?
01:29Ruth's dead.
01:33Yeah.
01:57Mum.
02:09They're not gonna let us see him.
02:12It could be hours.
02:14Days.
02:18Let's just...
02:20Let's just come back when we know they'll let us see him.
02:27It's me here.
02:39I got a call from Paul earlier.
02:43That's why I went round.
02:47He said that he'd taken a case from Patrick's house.
02:54It's this case, right?
02:56Yeah.
02:58And you say that this case belongs to Patrick Harbaugh?
03:02Mm-hm.
03:04Why did you need to see the case so badly?
03:08Well, because I...
03:10I thought that it...
03:12had contained Polaroid photographs of all his victims.
03:16So, photos taken by the Ripton stalker?
03:19Yeah, yeah, I thought that that could...
03:23prove who he really was.
03:28Hugh, why does the case have your initials on it?
03:32Well, it...
03:35Yeah.
03:42Well, er...
03:44I've got no idea. That's, er...
03:47That's Patrick's case. That's not mine.
03:50I mean, it's been under his bed, in his house all this time.
03:54We found your fingerprints on the case here.
03:56Well, you would have done, wouldn't you?
03:58Because I opened it when I was at Paul's.
04:00We didn't find anyone else's.
04:07I didn't kill Paul.
04:09He's a good friend.
04:11I suppose you didn't kill Ruth Parker either.
04:13No.
04:15No, never. Never, no.
04:18Never, no.
04:19You ever been in her bedroom?
04:22Of course not.
04:27Do you recognise this, Hugh?
04:32This cuff link was found under the mattress in Ruth's room.
04:42Listen, I've...
04:44I've been in the kitchen, I mean, many times,
04:46but I've never, ever, ever been in her bedroom.
04:50I've no idea how that got there.
04:52Jenny, can't you see what's happening here?
04:54See how I'm being framed?
04:56Hugh, talk to me.
04:57No, listen, listen, this is...
04:59Can't you see what's happening?
05:00He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:02It's just the same playbook.
05:04Is this your cuff link?
05:06No, can't you see what's happening?
05:08Can't you see what he's doing?
05:16He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:18He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:20He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:22He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:24He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:26He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:28He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:30He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:32He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:34He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:36He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:38He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:40He's just doing it again like he did with Declan.
05:42Hey, hey!
05:48This is insane.
05:50Oh, Tina...
05:56I need to go and pick up the twins.
05:58I need to go and pick up the twins.
06:00I need to go and pick up the twins.
06:02You...
06:08No, dad didn't kill Paul.
06:10There's there's no way. Oh, there's no way. Yeah, I see
06:15Patrick caught him breaking into his house wasn't breaking in. He was no he thinks he might have done it to all of us
06:23Come on you must have known there was something off about him. It's why you stay away
06:28He's self-centered he's psychotic. Oh, he's gone mental
06:33Patrick thinks it's some sort of
06:35PTSD
06:37Patrick says a lot doesn't he? No, your dad is out of control and you know it
06:44Oh, yeah, I know about Paul you stop speaking like that
06:55Somehow I've always found a way to hurt you and now well
07:02Now now what I've done is even worse and
07:07Just so sorry Ruth, I know it's turning off way too late. Please. Oh god
07:18That's not a confession I
07:22Just I felt I treated her badly I just ashamed of my behavior. What did you do? I
07:30I
07:33Took a seat Patrick. I thought she might recognize him. You took her to meet the man. You thought was her stalker
07:40How did she react when she met him? She just
07:44She didn't recognize I thought he said he was the stalker. Yeah. Yeah, but she didn't actually see his face
07:50But that isn't that isn't the bloody point is it because he can he confessed
07:55He told me to my face
07:58We have a witness who claims you were screaming at the house trying to break in. No, no
08:03I mean I was upset, but so you weren't banging on her door threatening her
08:08No
08:12You know what I think you I
08:14Think you're obsessed with Ruth. I think Paul found your case full of all these photos inside and that's why ultimately that is just ridiculous
08:21Okay, so let's just sum this up you were never in her bedroom
08:24No, we've already been through this and this isn't your cufflink. Well, I mean, I don't know you let me go home
08:29I could find out right and the case with all the phones of Ruth inside and your initials on the front
08:33Oh, right, and I assume that this isn't your kitchen knife
08:38That was used to kill Paul
08:40But that that's my knife
08:45He's been in my house
08:48I
08:52Need to
09:17Please
09:47I
09:55Think outside some air. Yeah, it was nasty
09:59He's falling apart. I
10:01Just I don't get why he'd call Ruth if he already knew she was dead because he's having a breakdown or another one
10:09He's so convincing half the time during I believe him
10:18Alice Jenny, you know, he didn't do any of this. I can't talk about this. No, I'm sorry
10:23No, but you know, you do know I've got to do this by the book
10:27I'm sorry
10:29I
10:42Know pretty much
10:44everyone in here
10:46Hugh protected you all
10:48All of you when you lost your evidence
10:51Or when you were scared you were gonna get a bollocking
10:54He is one of you and you all know that he is not guilty so why is he still down there
11:01Let's please. Okay. Yeah, I'm going I'm going
11:05No one no
11:09Shame on you

11:40Listen you need to get Jenny down here get it back down here now
11:46There's a man out there Patrick hard-boiled and he's
11:49You know needs to be stopped and if I'm stuck in here then he can just do what he wants so no one else is
11:53looking away I
11:56Need to speak to my family
12:18You
12:49You
12:55The police finished with your house an hour ago
13:00Left a big old mess I bet I
13:05Could help you tidy up must be awful Alice
13:13Knowing he's locked away and there's nothing you can do. Oh
13:17He'll be home soon enough
13:36What is it that you like the most
13:40Is it this bit the mind games or is it the part with the knife
13:47I
13:50Have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
13:53Enjoy it while you can
13:55We all wonder why you stick with him. I
14:00Mean you're so great
14:03And he
14:07Is it because you hate yourself, you know, that's why you stay with him
14:14You
14:16Tell me have you ever been loved or maybe you can't be loved
14:43You
14:45You
15:07You get any sleep have you spoken to Alice yet?
15:11You're solicitors back we're interviewing you again
15:19You know those couplings again you please save it for the internet
15:22Do you remember what I said to you when we get into me? Yeah, you're typically ungrateful
15:25That's right, cuz I don't wear complex. I don't and I never will so how come how come one of those couplings ends up?
15:31on her bedroom floor
15:34Why would I why would I bang on the door?
15:36Why would I bang on the door now you have a woman I'm just about to kill why would I alert the neighbors?
15:42Why would I call you leave a message with her?
15:45When she was already dead
15:47And how come how come every single shred of evidence against me doesn't prove a single thing?
15:56Martin you know, he's he's a nice guy, but he's not a good detective
16:06You
16:37I
16:40Need to stop an old girl give him that
16:45I'll crack him
17:06I
17:37I'll go
17:43Thank God I thought I was being robbed. What are you doing?
17:50Sorry, I am I
17:52Needed to see you. I thought you could help with that. Hey anything
17:59How is it?
18:01Have you seen him? No, they won't let us. No, of course not. Hmm
18:07How did you get in?
18:08Your back doors unlocked. So I I thought you must be in and then all your lights are off. So well here I am
18:16You've seen my camera
18:20Yes, I like to take pictures of my clients and stick them to the wall say cheese
18:26Yeah, so, um, well, we don't know what to do and I mean, you know, dad
18:32There's no way he could have done something like that. No, of course he wouldn't
18:38How did you get here a
18:41Taxi, um, I think I'm just wasting your time. Don't be silly
18:47Did you tell your mum you were coming?
18:50No, I didn't tell her
18:53Did you tell your mum you were coming
18:56Yeah, yeah, of course
18:59Yeah, it was a good idea
19:04Well, at least the lens doesn't lie
19:23Stay stay
19:28Did you call for the taxi
19:32The taxi you got did you call them and will they have a record of that call?
19:38Because I don't think your mother knows you're here
19:41And if you end up dead after poor well that's gonna come back to me
19:46Yes
19:48And that won't work
19:50You need to disappear
20:20I
20:51I
20:54Close your eyes
21:02I'll sit with you for a while
21:05And my own time I'll walk away
21:09If you move and I'm still here you're dead you get it
21:20I
21:50You
22:13God I'm stupid
22:16Yeah, I should have fought him off no
22:20Mother
22:21Wasn't thinking listen you say my daughter's life. I can't thank you enough
22:26You got me out. Yeah, only on bail. Yeah, and you saw Patrick Nazi. I didn't see him
22:31All I can say is that I was grabbed by a man with a knife
22:35But it was outside his shop and Margo. She would have testified. Yeah, she did. That's why you're going home
22:41Look we all know what happened boss, but until we catch him
22:45You were right about him all along
22:49He is the stalker
22:51Finally found him no we found
23:01You know him best where do you think he'd hide you won't be far
23:15I
23:46I
23:48She's staying with us
24:02You
24:04made
24:06She am she up for a visitor. Yeah
24:11Yeah
24:13Maybe listen, I I was totally wrong about you. Oh, no, I
24:19That's all right. Steve's it's fine. He was just a genius of messing with people's heads. Oh, yeah
24:26I've only known him for five minutes. What was I thinking?
24:29God, even last night. He called me to tell me he was heading off on holiday asked me if I'd water his plants
24:34We were chatting like old buddies when he just tried to kill your daughter
24:42I'm so sorry
24:46He he was the best he really was the best he was a dullest man in the world and that's why I loved him oh
24:54God I I could be so horrible to him sometimes
25:00Why did he break into Patrick's house you
25:04Why did my lovely dull hubby do something so crazy
25:12Oh
25:13She's grieving. She's bound to lash out at you. Yeah. Well, I mean she didn't she she was really kind
25:21Shudder is the voice
25:26You know, it's not your fault that he died your mom's right everyone needs time to grieve
25:33Including you and you did it dad
25:36Everyone knows who he is. Now. That's over
25:40No, well, you know, I don't think it is over
25:44Steve said that Patrick had run him last night to ask him to water his plants while he was away on on holiday holiday
25:52Hardly, and he must have known
25:55Must have known that Steve would tell me
25:58It's a warning
26:00He's coming back
26:10You
26:20There's nothing here
26:22It's not a single thing that links him to the stalker case
26:26Made them go through the place twice same story with the shop
26:29We searched every inch
26:33Some of the drawers upstairs are empty so looks like you filled a couple of suitcases and fled
26:38Credit cards none have been used since he vanished. I don't really think he's coming back. Do you?
26:58Sorry
27:07I
27:37I
28:07I
28:37I
28:59He's been in the house means he can come in whenever he wants
29:07I need you to go away
29:10Somewhere safe somewhere that not even I know about just
29:13And then but then then it'll all be over
29:17You can come back. It'll be finished. And what if we say no, no, no, there has to be something else
29:22We can do call the police. They're not interested. Well, if you call them what I'm gonna say what I found a photograph
29:28Are you the only one that can stop him? Yeah, it's always you. Why'd you have to be the hero?
29:35Alice that's not fair. Oh, tell me when you saw that photo. How did it make you feel?
29:41Because a normal person would feel scared. I
29:46Bet you loved it. Mom. Am I wrong?
29:49Hmm. I have been chasing this man for years and through all that time
29:56You've held me you've you've supported me
30:00please just
