Social Suicide Page #4

---

Though sometimes it's buried very deep.

- I didn't do anything.

I just filmed.

The videos help me escape.

- The lure of the internet.

- IT was my best friend, 'til Reese.

- You know, I've dabbled

in it, the internet.

Online gambling, porn, box

sets from dubious sources,

which is like porn.

The law of diminishing returns.

Thank goodness I reigned myself in.

I'm going to go check on Dalton.

You want anything?

Sergeant?

Could you help me get hold of

Balthazar's doctor, please?

- Can you locate Balthazar

William's GP for me?

- Guv!

No sign of cut grass near the car park,

but they did find this.

- That look like it fell to you?

- Smashed, more likely.

- Good work.

Okay, keep looking for

Reese and get that boy back

in the interview room.

- Yeah.

- I need...

- Tons of people, kids mostly,

been sending footage in.

We've not get the man power

to go through all of it,

but there is one Vine.

- No, I need this fixed.

Come on, you're good at this.

- I've got to show you this Vine.

- Where's that image from?

- Ty's phone.

- When?

- Yesterday, a few

hours before the deaths.

- Can I get a print out of this?

- I've got to show you this Vine.

- Okay, do.

- [Voiceover] Piss off you videoing f***!

- Ready?

- Yeah.

- Cool.

You're into this world,

tell me what you think.

- I mean, has he got some odd posts? Yes.

But, given the volume

of his YouTube channel,

it's bound to happen.

It's the way it works, you've

got to push the boundaries

these days.

These kids get all these clicks,

they become more popular,

everybody likes a bit of graphic content.

Especially when they see the warning.

- Not everyone.

- [Voiceover] I do.

- You ready to go again, then?

- Yes.

Alright, let's go back through

the CCTV, talk us through it.

Exactly.

That's Marc, that's you, and there's Ty.

- Yeah, um, Ty wanted

to know where Reese was.

- Why was he late, where did he come from?

- He got married a few hours earlier,

he was meeting us.

- Okay, sit down.

What time?

- Four in the afternoon.

- [Voiceover] Julia, can

you look this way please?

That's lovely.

- Thanks, mate.

- So, where we going now?

- I actually thought it was just be us.

Julia's parents are

gone for the afternoon.

Wedding, ironically.

- Oh, yeah, no.

I figured it'd just be you two.

- See you tonight?

- Are you still coming?

- Wouldn't miss it for the world.

- Thanks for today.

(soft music)

(Julia laughing)

- So Reese was the last

person to see Julia

before her parents found her?

- Don't know, guess so, yeah.

- Hughie.

- Reese tried to calm him down!

It was all a terrible accident.

Ty was devastated, he never

meant for it to happen.

I wasn't fast enough.

I found Reese outside

looking at Ty's body.

Said he fell in the chase.

Then we heard sirens and ran.

That's when I dropped my

camera 'cause it was dark,

then we couldn't find the chip, did you?

- Why was Ty waiting there for you?

- I told you before.

- I got it, he was angry

because they got married.

- How would you feel, yeah?

If the guy you hated married your cousin.

- But how did he know they were married?

- Balthazar?

- And how did he know where you were?

It's a random car park, not

the place you'd look for

someone unless you knew they were there.

Someone sent Ty a photo of the ceremony.

Two lovers are in it, you were

the only one they invited.

The only one they trusted.

So who could've sent it?

Hmm?

- I did it for Reese.

- You did it for Reese?

- He was always falling in

love so easily, you know?

And Julia, she was unhinged.

I was doing it to protect him!

You know, she was always

posting videos about how

she didn't like guys or

didn't want a boyfriend.

Check out her blog, two

months ago, the third.

- Why do I always overestimate some guys?

And they significantly underestimate me,

and my friends an...

(slams table)

- Stop!

No more videos, just talking.

- I was worried she'd break up with him.

That she'd do something

crazy to herself, and now...

- So her overdose was to get attention?

- What more proof do you need?

Look, I could tell she

was having those thoughts.

I recognized them!

I've had them.

- Two minutes ago we saw

you trying to make videos

with her and now you're

telling us she was suicidal.

- She was internet gold.

Pure, believable.

People watched her, but she

became so obsessed with Reese.

- You took their wedding video,

you could've stopped it then.

- I don't know, I didn't know

they were getting married!

Reese just told me to be

there and bring my camera!

It was all too late by then.

Look, no one says no to Reese.

- So you filmed it like

you film everything else?

- It had gone too far!

It was only 'til afterwards I

realized I could do something

so, I just, I just sent

that picture to Ty!

I thought he'd speak to Julia's parents.

They faked the consent so her

parents could just reverse it!

- I think you planned to stir things up.

Ty's reaction to the smoke was so good,

it was such a hit!

You wanted more, you wanted

a fight, you wanted drama!

I think you might've planned

all of this from the beginning!

Was it your suggestion

to have the party prank?

- Reese needed my help!

They were my friends!

Marc was my friend and now he's dead!

What was I supposed to do?

Look, Reese chased after

Ty after he killed Marc.

I didn't know that was

going to happen, did I?

- All you do is record you friends.

You barely talk to them, you

barely interact with them!

- Inspector Dalton, that's

enough, Balthazar's helping.

- They wanted me to record them!

They told me to!

- I mean it, Hetty, no more.

- We found the SD card.

- Whoa.

- What?

- Put it on.

- I don't think...

(breathing heavily)

- How?

- I'd say telescopic camera pole.

- You're just a freak

with a camera, aren't you?

Positioning people to get the best clip.

- I didn't want to.

- Who made you?

- It wasn't my choice.

- So who's pulling the strings?

- Reese did.

- What was that? Speak up!

- Reese told me to do it.

- What else did Reese make you record?

Come on, now is not the time

to be holding your tongue.

- No, he...

- Don't defend your friend either.

- Balthazar, just tell

the truth, you'll be okay.

- I need a break.

- The more I look at

Reese the worse he gets.

Hughie.

- Piss off you videoing f***!

Piss off you videoing f***!

(knock on door)

- You okay?

- Thank you.

Reese has been spotted at a

pharmacy near Julia's house.

We will find him.

Now's the time for you to tell the truth.

There's a curious thing

about Julia's overdose.

It doesn't appear to be self-inflicted.

The doctor's say there was

a substance in her system,

but we couldn't find it in her room.

After he slept with her, he

drugged her, then he met you,

and killed Ty.

This footage was caught this afternoon.

Reese seems to have a

vendetta against this family.

We need to catch him before

he hurts anyone else.

Tell us what you know, Balthazar.
