0:00:29 > 0:00:31SHIRLEY: Say something, then.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38What am I going to do?

0:00:39 > 0:00:43SHOUTS: What am I going to do?! Tell me, Ben!

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Do I go out looking for him?

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Or do I sit here and wait?

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Look, he didn't do it.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I mean, he wouldn't do it, all right?

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Not to Hev. You're miles off.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55You know any prayers...

0:00:55 > 0:00:57start saying them now.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03I, er...

0:01:04 > 0:01:05..I need to get back home.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, course.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm going to OK things with Shirley, smooth the way a bit, yeah?

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Oh, Phil, it's all right, you've done enough. More than enough.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16I wouldn't have done it for anyone else.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Best I find some clothes. Can't turn up like this again.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Mum?- It's all right, Denny. We're going to be OK.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Listen, wait here a sec. Yeah?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Where you going?

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Shopping.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49It's gone flat...

0:01:51 > 0:01:52..that figures.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Here, pour yourself one.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02We're going to make a little toast.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Right, you listening?

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Yeah?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10You listening, Ben?

0:02:10 > 0:02:12I don't want to do this, Shirl.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Here's to that...

0:02:17 > 0:02:19..lying...

0:02:19 > 0:02:22murdering piece of filth.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33All that blood on his hands.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Hands that have been all over ME!

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Holding me, touching me...

0:02:42 > 0:02:45putting this stupid ring on my finger.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Get the flaming thing off me! - He didn't do it, Shirl!- Get it off!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53- It won't budge.- DO IT!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56SHIRLEY CRIES OUT

0:02:59 > 0:03:03What do you want me to do with it? Shirl?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05SHIRLEY GROANS

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Look, this don't make sense.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22You've got to think all this through.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I mean, you can't have Dad walk into this.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30He loves you.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Didn't love her, though, did he?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's all spinning around in my head, Ben, like I don't know what.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Her face.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45His face.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49What could have made him so angry to lash out like that?

0:03:50 > 0:03:51How hard must he have hit her?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53I mean, her head, it was like solid rock,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56there was nothing in it except George Michael and concrete.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07He's your fella and you're his woman, Shirl,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10and he wouldn't ever, ever lay a finger on your best mate.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13But we weren't best mates at the time, were we?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16So maybe he thought I wouldn't care if she lived or died.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19- It was someone else.- WHO?!

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Who is this someone else?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24(I don't know.)

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Then you'd better find them...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30you better track 'em down...

0:04:31 > 0:04:33..cos until you do, Ben,

0:04:33 > 0:04:36until you do, there is only one person that I'm going to blame.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Here y'are.- Cheers.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Pat Butcher wouldn't wear this! - Not now, she wouldn't.- Hmm?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20She's six feet under.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22No!

0:05:22 > 0:05:23New Year's Day.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26God, I thought she'd be here for ever.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28So, you don't like it, then?

0:05:28 > 0:05:31In honour of Pat - no.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Listen, I, er...

0:05:34 > 0:05:37I better get back home. Shirley'll be going spare.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oh, no worries. I'll think of something.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well, might go and see Ian. Is he still around?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Listen, maybe it'd be better if you came with me.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Phil, are you sure? I don't want to rain on your parade.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's weird, innit?

0:05:50 > 0:05:52I'm trying to get married and you're trying not to.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54PHONE RINGS

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Let's hope you have more luck than I did, eh?

0:06:03 > 0:06:04HE SIGHS

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Dad, listen. Shirl's gone off on one.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10She thinks that you did Hev in!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm trying to tell her you didn't but you've gotta get back.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15You've gotta get back here now!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17KNOCK ON DOOR Open the door.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36- Were you talking to someone?- No.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40I'm not going to let you give him the chance to make up a story.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42- No, I weren't.- Where's your phone?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44I ain't got it, have I? Look.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48You know, I was in this frame with Hev.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I could've been the last thing she saw come flying at her.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53I dunno whether that's a comfort or a curse.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56How'd you think it got here?

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- I dunno.- Your dad wouldn't have brought it here, he's not that stupid.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04He's many other things but he's not stupid. Not him.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Maybe he did.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- But, Ben, I just said... - But what if he did? What if he did?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I mean, then that makes him innocent.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14You know, he was thinking of you, he was going to give you something that belonged to Hev.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Oh, so this is an engagement present?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19No, no, I'm not saying that, I'm just...

0:07:20 > 0:07:24I mean, he wouldn't have brought it back in the house, would he? I mean, not if he was guilty.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26You know how it got here?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28D'you know why?

0:07:28 > 0:07:29It's Hev's doing.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32She's pointing the way.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35(Shirl...)

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Shirl, I swear to you, all right, that's just your imagination...

0:07:38 > 0:07:41She's saying, "Look, Shirl. Look close, and you'll see."

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Why can't you just let her go?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Do you want Hev's killer to be walking free?!

0:07:50 > 0:07:51No, course not...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I-I didn't mean it like that. - You know, Ben...

0:07:56 > 0:07:59..I've not just lost a best friend...

0:07:59 > 0:08:03I'm about to lose a lover, a husband, my whole future.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Now I don't want it to be like that but it's out of my hands.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Your dad put paid to that.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- But...- He's going to be home any second.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I can't promise you it ain't going to be ugly...

0:08:17 > 0:08:21but if he's guilty, Ben, if he done this, I'll know the minute I set eyes on him.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26So you'd better brace yourself...

0:08:26 > 0:08:30cos you could be seeing him for what he really is.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50I never thought I'd end up back here.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Think of worse places. - Is Grant around?

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Portugal.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Good.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57You sure about that?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01You know, there's not many who'd do what you just did, Phil.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Knight in shining armour, me.- Well, you are from where I'm standing.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09So I've got a pool table and a games console. D'you fancy that?

0:09:09 > 0:09:10All right, Phil?

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Sorry, I would ask but, er, it's Ian...

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Ian Beale?

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Is something wrong? We go way back. - He's just had a bad time of it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- How bad?- You know Beale, never makes it easy on himself, does he?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Where is he now?- Car lot.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I've tried talking to him, he's not responding.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Great. So much for Shirley's big day.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- What do you want me to do? - What is it? What's happened to him?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Er...listen, maybe it's better if you go with Max. Yeah?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Don't fob me off, Phil.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'm not, it's just a bit delicate, that's all.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- I can't just turn up with a blushing bride, can I?- She's an old mate. - What's wrong with your gaff?

0:09:43 > 0:09:47- He's meant to be having a party. - I'm just...getting engaged.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49All I need is a change of clothes.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Do me a favour? Sort that out and I'll sort Beale out.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52All right, cheers, Phil.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Yeah, I'll just do bed and breakfast for everyone an' all, shall I?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm Sharon.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Are you now?

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Come on, baby.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Where the hell is he? - Let me go get him.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm telling you, we're in this together.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yeah, I know, I know. But I can bring him back

0:10:08 > 0:10:11and, like you said, as soon as he walks in that door you'll know,

0:10:11 > 0:10:12you'll know that he's done nothing.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Just by looking at him. Then all this can stop.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Shall I tell you what I'm seeing?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Only it's all in flashes...

0:10:19 > 0:10:22memories, thoughts about what happened that night.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I can't put it all together, not yet...

0:10:25 > 0:10:26but I will, Ben.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33D'you want it to be him? Is that it?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36You want the bloke that just proposed to you to be guilty?

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Cos that don't make sense.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Like you said, how angry must he have been with her?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41To whack her? There's no reason for it.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43I've seen him lose it and so have you.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44But why would he go round hers?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Why would he go round hers before seeing you?

0:10:47 > 0:10:49- I don't know, do I?! - Because he didn't!

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Because when he came out, the only person he thought about was you.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Not Hev. Why...?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Why would she even come into his head?- Right, you listen.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01You listen, all right? I know, I know that Hev is sending me a message,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03telling me that there is something rotten in that house.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Shirl, that's just mental. - Don't you dare.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I'm going to go see Jay.- You're not going anywhere. I need you here.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Why? So I can watch you call my dad a killer?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Yeah, I really want to see that, don't I?- I need to, all right?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18I need to look him straight in the eyes when I tell him!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Just get over it!

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Hev ain't sending you messages.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24And all that's left is that stupid picture frame.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Excuse me?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31"That stupid picture frame"?

0:11:32 > 0:11:34The one with blood on it?

0:11:34 > 0:11:37That, "stupid picture frame," that put an end to my best mate's life?!

0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm sorry... but you know what I mean.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Where you going? - I can't listen to this.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47It can't be anybody else, can it?

0:11:48 > 0:11:52What are you going to do anyway? I mean, seriously?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Cos you can't prove it.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56The Old Bill ain't got a clue, there's no more fingerprints

0:11:56 > 0:11:59and loads of people have touched that photo frame,

0:11:59 > 0:12:01so you can't even get any DNA off it.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03At the end of the day, you can rant and rave at Dad

0:12:03 > 0:12:07but if he comes home and says he didn't do it, then that's that.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Nothing you can do can bring Hev back.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16And I know that's what you want...

0:12:16 > 0:12:18that's what we all want...

0:12:19 > 0:12:21..but it ain't ever going to happen.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32PHIL KNOCKS ON THE CAR

0:12:38 > 0:12:39You going to get out of here, eh?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44You can't hide away in here for ever, you know.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Come on, budge up then.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Come on, budge up!

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Ian, you've gotta shake this off.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05If Ben can, so can you.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07I mean, look...

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Look at where he was...

0:13:09 > 0:13:11and look at where he is now.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14And you two are brothers, right?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16So if Ben can do it, so can you.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Nothing's that bad, I know that. Look at the things I've done and...

0:13:21 > 0:13:23the things I've had done to me.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Drop dead.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Eh?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34That's what Lucy said.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Maybe I should.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Ian...

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Ian, you're all out of shape, mate.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45You ain't going to stay this way for ever.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm here to make sure of that...

0:13:47 > 0:13:49and so will Ben, you know?

0:13:50 > 0:13:54You can't let him see you like this, not now,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56not now that he's turned a corner,

0:13:56 > 0:13:59and you wouldn't want to upset him, would ya?

0:13:59 > 0:14:00You wouldn't want to do that to him.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Listen, I'm not a word man,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08I'm not one for talking about feelings and stuff

0:14:08 > 0:14:12but look at all the stuff I've sent your way. Hmm?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14I mean, you took all of that, didn't ya?

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Your head down the bog,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19the knockbacks when you was on your knees, begging me for money.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23I mean, you soaked all of that up. All them years I was going at you

0:14:23 > 0:14:26and I hit you with everything I had, and you took it, didn't ya?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28And you're still standing, ain't ya?

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Come on, Ian...

0:14:34 > 0:14:37..you're better than this...

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Are you listening to me?

0:14:39 > 0:14:40You are better than this.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I know it and you know it.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45I ain't having this. I'm not having it.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52PHIL SIGHS

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Listen, there's, er...

0:15:05 > 0:15:07..there's someone that wants to see you...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11..but I can't have you turning up in this state.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14All right?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17You listening to me?

0:15:20 > 0:15:21HE SIGHS

0:15:23 > 0:15:25You all right, little man? Want a biscuit?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Yeah. Biscuits are good.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Right, I'll sort you some clothes out.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Don't like the wedding look then?

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- What size are you?- Have a guess.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Ah, you'll be all right. You'll fit. - Good with inches, are you?

0:15:47 > 0:15:51Well, he seems nice...ish.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Mum?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm OK, Denny.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I promise ya!

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Come here.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20BEN PANTS

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Was the last photo we had taken together.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34I bet he burnt it.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38I bet he sat there and watched Hev's face curl up and turn black.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42- I thought you said you were going to wait to see him before you hung him? - I am...

0:16:44 > 0:16:48..but there are so many things that don't add up.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51That night, there are so many things that are not right.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58We need to go back there.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Back where? - We need to work it through.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08There was you, me, Roxy...Jay, Billy. We were ALL there!

0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Where was everybody sitting, do you remember?- I dunno.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14I was there...

0:17:16 > 0:17:18..Roxy, Roxy was here...

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Lola, where was Lola sitting?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Lola here...

0:17:23 > 0:17:28- ..and then Jay went and sat over there.- Shirl...

0:17:28 > 0:17:31We made everything nice for Phil...

0:17:31 > 0:17:33then he came in and he was all over me.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Please stop it, all right?- Ben...

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Ben, where were you sitting?

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Ben...

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Leave them!- He's going to be home any minute, all right?- Put them back.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- You don't deserve to marry my dad. - Put them back on the table, Ben!

0:17:50 > 0:17:52He shouldn't have to walk in to something like this.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54He loved Hev and he loved little George. He did.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Yeah, well, he can tell us that, can't he?

0:17:56 > 0:18:00If he had, right, he'd have never left little George all alone, lying on his bed.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02- What?- He'd never have left a baby like that.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05- How? I mean, how...? - That's shut you up, ain't it?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- No, but, Ben, how...- No, I don't want hear another word about it.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10HOW did you know about George being left in his bed?

0:18:16 > 0:18:19You definitely know your inches.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20I've got an eye for it, ain't I?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Dunno what to do with this.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25I sort of guessed you won't be wearing it again.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27No. Suppose not.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33So what's going on with Ian?

0:18:33 > 0:18:34It's like Phil said,

0:18:34 > 0:18:37you know, he's just having a bad time of it, that's all.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Last I knew, those two hated each other.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42People change, don't they?

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Money or a woman?

0:18:43 > 0:18:47- It's always one or the other with Ian.- You one of them, are ya?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- You one of Ian's exes?- Me? No.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- No, we're just good friends.- Well, he's going to need a lot of those.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55KNOCK ON DOOR

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Do you mind?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Sorry, last thing I need is to get caught with a strange blonde.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Yeah, course.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17- You all right?- All right, Jack.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Bruv, you ain't got a navy blue tie, have ya?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Why navy blue?

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Little bit tricky.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26I've got a date with this redhead

0:19:26 > 0:19:29and she just happens to be obsessed by sailors.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30- Sailors?- Yeah!

0:19:30 > 0:19:34I told her I was one once, even had the tie to prove it.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Navy blue?- Mm-hm.- Follow me.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46You done?

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Good.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Cos I don't want to sit in here all day.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Come on then, get out.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I said get out.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Ian, I can slap you about and drag you out of there

0:20:06 > 0:20:08or you can get out yourself. Now come on, out.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Come on. You know...

0:20:15 > 0:20:18..it's all good again. Yeah?

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Like nothing bad's ever happened.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Ben believes it, I believe it, so can you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's all gone away.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32But seeing you in this state, it's letting the side down

0:20:32 > 0:20:33and I'm not having that.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35D'you hear me?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Now, this... This is day one.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42This is where we start from...yeah?

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Yeah.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Good.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50Now...

0:20:51 > 0:20:54..now there's someone you need to meet.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Sure you don't want me to draw a little boat on that(?)- Funny.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14- That looks like any other tie.- It's the chat that goes with the tie.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- She wants to believe it, she will. - You even like this girl?

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Like her? Bruv, come on. Be serious.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Well, don't be seasick down it, will you?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- # I am sailing... # - PHONE RINGS

0:21:53 > 0:21:55So tell me you're the new maid?

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Do I look like a scrubber?

0:21:59 > 0:22:03- That brother of mine, he's unbelievable.- Max is your brother?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05He's even got you dressed up in Tanya's clothes.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06He's beyond help, that boy!

0:22:06 > 0:22:10- Do yourself a favour, go. Before I throw...- You're reading this wrong.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12I like my fun as much as the next man but THIS is sick.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- You got a name? - Don't worry about my name!

0:22:14 > 0:22:16I want to know who I'm about to slap.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Oh, really?

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- We got a feisty one here, have we? - You've got a lot more than feisty.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24How much he paying you?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Come on, tell me and you can take off.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Such a nice face as well.

0:22:29 > 0:22:30- Max!- Oi.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34There was a time I would have hit you back.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37There was a time that I'd have aimed higher.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40I'm a friend of Phil and Ian's.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43My son is in the kitchen, eating a biscuit.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'm wearing these clothes because mine were no longer suitable.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50Now you can apologise or I'll break the other one.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54You only had to say.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05Let's go over this again, Ben.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Phil must have told you where George was.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15He weren't there, so how could he?

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Then how do you know?

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Cos you went and fetched him.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I never said where he was.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23- I never said precisely were he was. - What does that matter?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25All I'm trying to say is that Dad would never do that to Hev.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27I mean, not with her kid next door.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33That where he was, is it?

0:23:35 > 0:23:36- Yeah, you said.- No...

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- ..I didn't say. - How else would I know?

0:23:47 > 0:23:53If I didn't say anything and if your dad wasn't there either...

0:23:56 > 0:23:58..that means you must've been there.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Thank you.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Least I could do for breaking your leg.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12There's a lot more you could do.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Ain't you meant to be somewhere? - Oh, totally forgotten.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Sailors, ties, a redhead.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Hmm, nope. Total blank!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25- What I do know is...- Yeah?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27..that I'm free right now.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28I don't even know your name, do I?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30It's Jack.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32As in the beanstalk?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33I prefer "The Giant Killer."

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I thought you had a ship to catch.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45- It sailed without me, didn't it? - Your boy's asking for you.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46You might be free...

0:24:46 > 0:24:48but I'm not.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53JACK EXHALES

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Oh, Ian, what is it?

0:25:21 > 0:25:22A lot's happened, Sharon.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I'm talking to Ian. - He ain't exactly talking right now.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Ian, it's me, I'm back!

0:25:33 > 0:25:34I'm here. OK?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38I'm here.

0:25:38 > 0:25:39Welcome home.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50Hev brought that frame here.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52No...

0:25:52 > 0:25:54She made sure it came to me...

0:25:54 > 0:25:57cos she knew what it would do to you.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04What's it like, seeing it again? D'you want to pick it up?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10D'you want to do a repeat on me?

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Nothing happened.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17You came home that night wearing different clothes.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19No...

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Say it, Ben...

0:26:24 > 0:26:26..tell me what happened.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29What are you talking about? Look, nothing happened.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32You've been bottling it up all this time

0:26:32 > 0:26:34and now's your chance to let it out.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36- I've got nothing to tell you. - TELL ME!

0:26:39 > 0:26:41BEN CRIES OUT

0:26:43 > 0:26:44Say it, Ben.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46I loved her, all right, I swear.

0:26:48 > 0:26:49What did you do?

0:26:52 > 0:26:55I just... It was an accident. I swear. I promise.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Oh, right, that picture frame just JUMPED into your hands on its own?

0:26:58 > 0:27:02- No, it wasn't like that... - What was it like, Ben?

0:27:02 > 0:27:04It was an accident, all right? I just...

0:27:04 > 0:27:07I just lashed out, I promise.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08I want to hear you say the words.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Go on.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16- What the hell do you think you're doing?- Get your hands off me, Phil.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Just calm down. All right? Calm down.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21He did it. He killed Heather.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- He confessed.- What...? What are you talking about?- He killed her.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27I found the photo frame. And I've got it. I've got it downstairs.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29He killed her and he's going to pay for what he did!

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Back off! Just back off.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33All right? Now let's just all... all calm down.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Calm down! He killed my best mate in cold blood.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40- That's not what happened!- I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43I told you, back off! All right? Just back off and calm down.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Ben, go and get dry, go and get changed.- What are you doing?

0:28:47 > 0:28:50- He's going to get changed. - He's not leaving this room. - Why? What are you going to do?

0:28:50 > 0:28:52You going to finish him off?

0:28:52 > 0:28:57Is that it, eh? Now, listen, he's going to get changed.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00All right? And me and you, we're going to talk.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03No, you're not talking me round. He's going to prison.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06He's going to prison for what he's done and he's going to pay.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10I'm going to call the police. I'll get Marsden and I'll show her what a real murderer looks like!

0:29:10 > 0:29:15Not until we've talked. All right? Not until we've talked.

0:29:15 > 0:29:20He's going to get changed. Just give me a few minutes. I'll calm him down. And then we'll go downstairs.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22All right? We'll go downstairs.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24I mean it, Phil. He ain't getting out of this.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Yes, OK, OK. You said. Now go downstairs.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Put the kettle on. He's going to get changed. OK?

0:29:30 > 0:29:33I promise you, I promise you. I'll be straight down.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Come on, come on. Come on.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47- What happened?- She found the frame, Dad. She found the picture frame.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Where?- I dunno. I just walked in, she shoved it in my face.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52- What did you tell her?- Nothing. I...

0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Did you tell her that I knew? - No. No. I said I did it.- You what?!

0:29:56 > 0:30:00- I can't help it, Dad. I can't keep it in any more... - Ben, just listen to me, calm down...

0:30:00 > 0:30:03No, I don't care any more. I don't! I won't say anything.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07I won't say anything about you or Jay. I won't say anything about either of you. I won't. I wouldn't.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09You protected me.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13And I still am protecting you. All right? Now listen to me.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17And calm down, yeah? Now get out these wet clothes. Dry off.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Get out them clothes. Come on. Put these on. Put 'em on.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Put 'em on! Come on.- Why?

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Because you're wet, Ben. You're soaking wet through. Now get changed.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Dry off. I'm going to talk to Shirley.

0:30:28 > 0:30:33- What you going to say? Eh? She tried to kill me. - No, she didn't.- She did.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36You should've seen the look in her eyes! She had me under water!

0:30:36 > 0:30:40- She's angry. She's upset. And now, now I'm going to talk to her. - There's no point!

0:30:40 > 0:30:43There is a point! What, do you want to go back inside?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Is that it? You want to go through all that again? Do you?

0:30:46 > 0:30:48No. Course you don't.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50I just want to do the right thing.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53Going inside, Ben, that ain't going to help anyone. Is it?

0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Ain't it?- No.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58No, course it ain't.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Ben, you're my boy.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03All right? You're my son. And I love you.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06And I'm going to protect you. And I'm going to do whatever if takes.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09That's all my life is about right now. Just that, that one thing.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11So I will do whatever it takes.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14I'd rather go inside myself. Do you understand?

0:31:14 > 0:31:18Now you're going to get through this. You're going to have a life.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21You're going to have a good life. Because I owe you that much.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Yeah? A better life than me.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29And I owe your mum that much, too.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31And so do you.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33So do you.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Now come on.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39We'll get through this together. We'll get through it together.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43All right? Now come on. Pull yourself together. Get changed.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45And I'll be right back.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51Ben.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54I promise you, nothing bad's going to happen.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Hello?

0:32:07 > 0:32:10Hello?

0:32:10 > 0:32:11Sharon?

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Lucy!

0:32:13 > 0:32:14Hi.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19What is he doing here?

0:32:19 > 0:32:21He wants to talk to you.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Get out. Get out now!

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Lucy, you're upset. I understand. I heard what happened.

0:32:27 > 0:32:31You heard, did you? What's he been telling you then?

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Oh, not him.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Ian's said nothing. Look, why don't we sit down, eh?

0:32:36 > 0:32:40Bobby, go upstairs.

0:32:40 > 0:32:41Go on!

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Do you see what you've done? You're upsetting him!

0:32:48 > 0:32:50He didn't look very upset.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52You don't know what you're talking about.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56Look, why don't you wait here? I'll talk to Lucy. Go on.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58It's OK. I won't be a minute.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Exhibit number one.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21I just... I just want to talk it through.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22What's there to talk about?

0:33:24 > 0:33:28Ben. Him hurting Heather? You don't actually believe that, do you?

0:33:28 > 0:33:30You don't actually think he could do that?

0:33:30 > 0:33:35He told me. He told me everything. He confessed, Phil.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Why would he do that if it wasn't true?- Who knows? He's a messed-up kid!

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Listen to me, all right...

0:33:39 > 0:33:41No!

0:33:41 > 0:33:42He did it.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45He confessed. And I'm calling the Old Bill.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Since when do we grass up our own? Eh?

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Grass up?

0:33:50 > 0:33:56This ain't some stolen car or dodgy booze, this is a murder!

0:33:57 > 0:34:01A murder of an innocent woman who just happened to be my best mate.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Yeah? And what's Ben in all this, eh?

0:34:03 > 0:34:05What is he - nothing? Nothing?

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Now you said to me once, he was like a son to you.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12- That's what you said. - Well, I was wrong! He's a worm.

0:34:14 > 0:34:15An evil little worm.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19Shirley, Shirley. Wait. Shirl... He didn't know what he was doing!

0:34:19 > 0:34:21It was a mistake. It was an accident.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26How would you know that?

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Phil?

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Just give me the phone.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Did you...?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Give me the phone.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Did you know about this?

0:34:39 > 0:34:42You did?

0:34:42 > 0:34:43You did.

0:34:46 > 0:34:47How long?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54- A while.- Exactly?

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Since... Since the off.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01What?

0:35:03 > 0:35:04Since that night.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13You knew about this all that time?

0:35:16 > 0:35:17Yes.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Yes. I came back to the Square. I found him...

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Heather was...

0:35:28 > 0:35:31She was already dead.

0:35:31 > 0:35:32I feel sick.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37Listen to me. All right? Listen. Listen very carefully.

0:35:37 > 0:35:41Now, he was in a state. Ben was in a state.

0:35:41 > 0:35:45They'd had a row. And he'd lashed out. That's all it was.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47He never, ever meant to hurt her.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53How would you know that? You said you came back after.

0:35:54 > 0:35:55Jay told me.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00Jay...?

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Jay was there. He saw it all.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08Listen to me. I know this is difficult. I know it's horrible.

0:36:08 > 0:36:12But it's not like I had a choice. I didn't have hours to think about it or anything, you know?

0:36:12 > 0:36:16Ben was coming apart. Jay was in a state.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18And I had to choose.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21And in that moment, I chose to protect my son.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23The robbery?

0:36:23 > 0:36:24All her stuff?

0:36:27 > 0:36:30I had to cover it up.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33You were here.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39You came back here, with Ben and Jay.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41And we had...

0:36:43 > 0:36:45We had dinner together.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48I know.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50You knew?

0:36:52 > 0:36:54All three of you.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59You sat there and you knew?

0:37:00 > 0:37:03- I'm sorry.- You let me go.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06You let me go off...

0:37:06 > 0:37:07Find her.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13- What else could I do? - You knew I was going to find her.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14What else could I do, Shirley?

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Tell me! Tell me the truth!

0:37:17 > 0:37:21And what would you have done? You'd have gone to the Old Bill, wouldn't you?!

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Which is exactly what I'm going to do now.- Shirley, wait!

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Shirley. Shirley, wait. wait!- Just stay away from me. Don't touch me.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Where you going?- Where do you think?

0:37:29 > 0:37:30- I can't let you do that. - Then stop me!

0:37:30 > 0:37:32I will if I have to, all right?

0:37:32 > 0:37:35What does that mean, Phil? Are you going to kill me, too?

0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Just get in that room. - I'm not scared of you, Phil.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Get in that room now. - Take your hands off me!

0:37:40 > 0:37:41Just calm down. Please!

0:37:41 > 0:37:44I'll scream this this house down if you come near. Get away from me!

0:37:44 > 0:37:49Please, please calm down! Calm down! Shut up! Shut up! Shut. Up.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53Now you don't make another sound. Do you understand me? Another sound.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00Listen. We all need... We need to calm down. All right?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Just please calm down. Please.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06Just give me a few minutes and listen to me, and if you still want to go...

0:38:06 > 0:38:08What, you'll kill me?

0:38:08 > 0:38:10You can go. All right?

0:38:13 > 0:38:18He left us. He walked out. No warning. No nothing.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Debts up to here. Bills unpaid.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28And Bobby with just me to look after him.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Do you know what that's been like?

0:38:30 > 0:38:34If he's such a good family man, then why did he do that? How could he do that?

0:38:34 > 0:38:39Well, people do things when they're under pressure. Strange things.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Happens to everyone.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43I don't think so.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45What do you know?

0:38:45 > 0:38:48I mean, how old are you? 17? 18?

0:38:48 > 0:38:51What do you really know about anything?

0:38:51 > 0:38:55I've been running three businesses and looking after Bobby. I think I know a bit.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Lucy, you are a kid. You're young.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01You don't understand what life can be like.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05Ian walked out on you, walked out on the day of his wedding,

0:39:05 > 0:39:08and I've just done the exact same thing.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Five hours ago I was wearing a wedding dress, halfway up the aisle.

0:39:11 > 0:39:16And look at me now. Single. No money. Nowhere to live.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19But it was the right choice.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21It was the right thing to do.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28What are you saying? It was right that he left us? Left his own children?

0:39:28 > 0:39:32No, it's not right. Of course it's not.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35I'm just saying, people don't always do the right thing.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37The sensible thing.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41I've done things I never thought possible.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45I've found myself sitting in bars, done up to the nines,

0:39:45 > 0:39:48nursing my third drink of the night waiting to be picked up.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52And why? For love? No.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57For a cheap one-night stand that I'd walk out on before the big hand hit 12.

0:39:59 > 0:40:04Because I was lonely and miserable and trying to forget.

0:40:04 > 0:40:08It's messed up. And I'm not proud, but sometimes...

0:40:08 > 0:40:10you know, sometimes things get out of control.

0:40:10 > 0:40:15Suddenly you look round, and wonder how you got from being 18 and pretty,

0:40:15 > 0:40:20your whole life stretched out before you, full of hope, to 40-odd

0:40:20 > 0:40:23and sneaking out of a stranger's bed in the middle of the night.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26It just happens.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30And maybe, maybe that's what's happened to your dad.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Oh, Lucy, he's broken.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36He's like a shell of the Ian I used to know.

0:40:37 > 0:40:42Just take a look. Take a look at him. A proper look.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46I'd say he needs you.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50He needs you to at least give him a chance, hear what he has to say.

0:40:50 > 0:40:56At least you can do that before you shut him back out in the cold, can't you?

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Please?

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Heather's gone, Shirl.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09And nothing we do is going to bring her back.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13But we can, we can make amends. Ben can make amends.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15He can grow up, you know. He can change.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17He could become a good man.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20And what about Hev? What's going to change for her?

0:41:23 > 0:41:25- She's gone.- And that's it?

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Gone. Dead, forgotten?

0:41:28 > 0:41:30No, no, no, of course not.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31She deserves justice.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34What justice? Eh?

0:41:34 > 0:41:37Locking away a scared kid?

0:41:37 > 0:41:40Banging him up for ten years? That justice?

0:41:40 > 0:41:42What, you want him to get away with it?

0:41:42 > 0:41:46That your world, Phil? Anyone can do anything they want?

0:41:46 > 0:41:50Anything they want? No right or wrong? It's just, well, you get caught or not. Is that it?

0:41:50 > 0:41:52No-one pays?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Shirley, he is paying. Can't you see that?

0:41:56 > 0:42:00No. He's not. He's out there, swanning around. Young. Free.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Life ahead of him. Hev is dead.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04That's not right.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Oh, and you're the moral one, ain't ya?

0:42:06 > 0:42:09Cos you've lived your life like a saint, haven't you?

0:42:09 > 0:42:11I've never killed anyone.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13But what if you had? Eh? Just now.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Upstairs? In the heat of the moment? What if you had?

0:42:16 > 0:42:17Then I'd give myself in.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Really?

0:42:19 > 0:42:23Yes. Cos I couldn't live with myself.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27Waking up, every day, knowing what I'd done. I couldn't. I couldn't go on.

0:42:27 > 0:42:32Well, that's you, Shirl. It's not me. And it's not Ben.

0:42:32 > 0:42:36Locking him away, that ain't going to help anyone.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39All right, you might feel better, cos of revenge.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41And what, that'll last a day, a week?

0:42:41 > 0:42:44And then you'll know, won't ya? You'll know what you've done.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47You've locked him away, and he's getting his head kicked in.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50And worse. You know that. Much, much worse than that.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53Day in, day out. Until that last little bit of good in him,

0:42:53 > 0:42:55that last little bit of good, is destroyed.

0:42:55 > 0:42:59Until he becomes something too ugly for you to even set eyes on again.

0:42:59 > 0:43:00And that, Shirley, that will be down to you.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04That ain't going to help anyone, is it?

0:43:05 > 0:43:08You say it... You say it like it makes sense.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12Like...that's what anyone would do.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Well, ain't it?- It ain't.

0:43:14 > 0:43:20No? Well, who really knows what they'd do when it comes down to it?

0:43:20 > 0:43:22Anyone. I mean, what about Billy?

0:43:22 > 0:43:25If he found Lola with that frame. What would he do?

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Eh? Or you? You.

0:43:27 > 0:43:32If you found your girl, Carly, yeah, and she'd lost it,

0:43:32 > 0:43:38lashed out at someone, didn't mean to hurt them, but they end up dead on the floor - what would you do?

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Would you see her go to prison?

0:43:41 > 0:43:44Or would you give her a future? Hmm?

0:43:44 > 0:43:48Well, you tell me. What, what would you do?

0:44:04 > 0:44:07If you need me, I'll be over at Phil's, OK?

0:44:07 > 0:44:08Come here.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17I'll see you tomorrow.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29I loved Hev.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33I loved her.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37And I thought you loved me, but you don't.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41I do.

0:44:41 > 0:44:42No, you don't.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46You don't care, Phil.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49Don't pretend that you do. You don't care at all.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52I do care. Course I care!

0:44:52 > 0:44:53Nah.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57You've never loved me.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Not really.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01Not like those other women.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Not like Sharon.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07I saw it, Phil.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12I saw it in your face when she walked through that door.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14It was like your heart leapt out of your body.

0:45:14 > 0:45:19You have never, never looked at me like that.

0:45:19 > 0:45:23Ain't true, Shirley. She's just a mate.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25She's an old, old mate.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30Gave up your marriage with Kathy.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Don't tell me she didn't do that for you.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35It was a fling.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37It was nothing.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40I know you, Phil.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42I know you.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45You would have been all over her.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48Not taken your eyes off her for one second.

0:45:48 > 0:45:52Like a dog on heat.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54I can see it.

0:45:55 > 0:45:59And, now, she's here.

0:46:01 > 0:46:06And you, you look at me and you think, "I'm stuck.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10"I'm stuck with that old battleaxe, cos she knows my dirty secret".

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Is that it, Phil?

0:46:13 > 0:46:15You trapped?

0:46:22 > 0:46:26Even if I did want to keep my mouth shut, I couldn't live with that.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28I couldn't live with those lies.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33And that look in your eyes,

0:46:33 > 0:46:38wondering every time, "Is she going to crack?"

0:46:40 > 0:46:43If we had a ruck, an argument over the washing up,

0:46:43 > 0:46:48what would you be thinking - "I gotta keep quiet, can't take the risk?

0:46:50 > 0:46:52"Say if she talks? Say if she spills?"

0:46:55 > 0:46:58Where do we go from there, Phil?

0:46:58 > 0:47:02Don't you see that there is no way forward any more?

0:47:03 > 0:47:05It's not going to work. None of this.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08It can work. We can make it work.

0:47:08 > 0:47:12We can turn Ben around, can't we?

0:47:12 > 0:47:16Now that you know, you can talk to him, you can explain.

0:47:16 > 0:47:17Explain what?!

0:47:17 > 0:47:20That he did wrong.

0:47:20 > 0:47:21Oh, really?

0:47:21 > 0:47:24Ain't he got that yet?

0:47:24 > 0:47:26You can hear his side.

0:47:27 > 0:47:33Shirl, you mean everything, everything to me.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36You mean the world to me. You're my life.

0:47:38 > 0:47:39SHARON: Phil?

0:47:41 > 0:47:44Phil?

0:47:44 > 0:47:45Wait here. Don't move.

0:47:49 > 0:47:53Hi. I did knock but there was no answer. You all right?

0:47:53 > 0:47:56Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. What do you want?

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Well, you told me to come back.

0:48:00 > 0:48:01Where's Ian?

0:48:01 > 0:48:03Oh, he's at home.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Lucy's upset, but I think I got through...

0:48:05 > 0:48:08What's he doing? Has he said anything?

0:48:08 > 0:48:11Nothing. No, nothing. Well, I just left them to talk.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Are you sure you're all right?

0:48:13 > 0:48:16Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Just...now's not a very good time.

0:48:16 > 0:48:19Oh, right. OK, well...

0:48:19 > 0:48:22I'll go and get Denny, we can come back later, yeah?

0:48:22 > 0:48:26That's... That's not a good idea.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28What do you mean?

0:48:28 > 0:48:33You and Dennis coming back. That's not a good idea.

0:48:33 > 0:48:36- But you said we could stay. - Well, something's come up.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38I won't get in the way. I can kip on the floor.

0:48:38 > 0:48:42It's not going to happen, Sharon. You need to go.

0:48:42 > 0:48:47- What's got into you?- Nothing's got into me. I just don't like the idea of you kipping on my sofa. Sorry.

0:48:47 > 0:48:52- I've got no money. I've got a six-year-old who hasn't eaten. I've got nowhere to sleep!- Tough.

0:48:52 > 0:48:53Ain't my problem, is it?

0:48:53 > 0:48:54Why are you being like this?

0:48:54 > 0:48:57Ain't being like anything.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Well, earlier... Well, it was like old times.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02I thought we were close.

0:49:02 > 0:49:06What, you think you can turn up here, damsel in distress,

0:49:06 > 0:49:09and we all drop everything, we all worship Sharon?

0:49:09 > 0:49:10Nothing's too much trouble?

0:49:10 > 0:49:13- No, no, no, of course not! - That's not how it works.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16Now, I did you a favour. I helped you out. And that's it. End of story. I ain't interested.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19Fine! If that's the way you feel about it.

0:49:19 > 0:49:20Yeah. That's the way I feel.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24- Well, I won't take up any more of your time.- Good.

0:49:24 > 0:49:28- I'll see myself out then, shall I? - Yeah.

0:49:28 > 0:49:30Well, what are you waiting for?

0:49:32 > 0:49:34You haven't changed a bit, have you?

0:49:47 > 0:49:51She means nothing to me. Nothing.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55Now do you believe me?

0:49:57 > 0:50:01You chose Mandy over me. Right here. Right here.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04You chose her over your own child!

0:50:04 > 0:50:08You pushed me through that door. You chucked me out.

0:50:08 > 0:50:12Even when I said you'd never see me again, you didn't care.

0:50:12 > 0:50:15Do you know what that's like?

0:50:15 > 0:50:18Your own dad choosing someone else over you?

0:50:23 > 0:50:24It was wrong.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28What, is that all you can say?

0:50:29 > 0:50:30I'm sorry.

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Sorry.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36Sorry? What is that going to help?

0:50:40 > 0:50:42I don't know.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46Don't you love me?

0:50:46 > 0:50:50Lucy, of course I love you! You're my little girl.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54But you preferred her?

0:50:56 > 0:50:58I was scared.

0:51:00 > 0:51:03I just thought if I could get that...

0:51:03 > 0:51:06ring on her finger...

0:51:06 > 0:51:10then everything'd... everything'd be OK.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16I was wrong.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18It wasn't.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20She was just like all the others.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22She didn't love me.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24She didn't really love me.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Am I supposed to care?

0:51:28 > 0:51:30You left us.

0:51:30 > 0:51:31You abandoned us.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39I know.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41And I'm sorry.

0:51:42 > 0:51:46I'd just like you to forgive me. That's all.

0:51:46 > 0:51:51Please, if you'll just give me a chance. Just one chance, OK?

0:51:51 > 0:51:53I can...

0:51:53 > 0:51:55I can prove I can get better.

0:51:55 > 0:51:58That...

0:51:58 > 0:52:00That I can be a better father.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05Yeah? And how are you going to do that?

0:52:10 > 0:52:11I don't know.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16I...I don't know.

0:52:16 > 0:52:22But if you just give me a chance, Lucy, I'll do...

0:52:22 > 0:52:26I'll do anything...

0:52:26 > 0:52:28I promise you.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34I just want to come home.

0:52:36 > 0:52:39Come home?

0:52:39 > 0:52:41And if I let you?

0:52:41 > 0:52:44Any... Anything. Anything.

0:52:48 > 0:52:49OK.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55You mean it?

0:52:55 > 0:52:57On one condition.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Yeah, yeah. Name it. Name it.

0:53:00 > 0:53:03You can come back home...

0:53:03 > 0:53:04Yes.

0:53:04 > 0:53:07..if you sign everything over to me.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10What?

0:53:10 > 0:53:14All of it. The house.

0:53:14 > 0:53:18The businesses. It all has to be in my name.

0:53:20 > 0:53:23I'm not going to be left like I was before. Not again.

0:53:23 > 0:53:29And if you go again, it'll all be mine.

0:53:33 > 0:53:34What do you say?

0:53:39 > 0:53:40OK.

0:53:44 > 0:53:45You...

0:53:47 > 0:53:49You love me.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52And you love Ben.

0:53:52 > 0:53:55I know that you don't want to, but you do.

0:53:55 > 0:54:00And what he did, it was a mistake. A terrible mistake with tragic consequences, but that's all it was.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03It was just a mistake.

0:54:03 > 0:54:07And you, you're the closest thing he's got to a mum.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09And he, he is the closest thing you've got to a son.

0:54:09 > 0:54:13And you can't see him get put away. You can't.

0:54:13 > 0:54:17And we can work through this together. We can.

0:54:17 > 0:54:22I can't. Even if I wanted to, I just can't.

0:54:22 > 0:54:27I'll help you, Shirley. Just...trust me. Please.

0:54:27 > 0:54:28And I promise you I'll help you.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32How? Tell me, how can I live with this?

0:54:34 > 0:54:36Just look him in the eye.

0:54:36 > 0:54:40Look Ben in the eye, and talk to him, and then you'll see what he is.

0:54:41 > 0:54:46He's just a kid. A messed-up kid.

0:54:46 > 0:54:49Messed up by me.

0:54:49 > 0:54:53- And he needs you, Shirley. He needs you.- No.

0:54:53 > 0:54:56He does. He does. He needs his mum.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59So, please, just...

0:54:59 > 0:55:02just look him in the eye and talk to him, yeah?

0:55:02 > 0:55:06And after that, you can do whatever you want.

0:55:06 > 0:55:10I won't stop you. I promise.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12Please, Shirley. Please?

0:55:19 > 0:55:22Thank you.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25Thank you. Stay there.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28I'll go get him. I'll be right back.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57Ben? Ben?

0:55:59 > 0:56:01- Where is he?- Ben?

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Ben?

0:56:05 > 0:56:06Ben!

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Excuse me.

0:56:46 > 0:56:48I've come about a murder.

0:56:50 > 0:56:53He'll have gone to the police. He's stupid enough.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55Don't you dare tell me to wait here.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04Heather Trott.

0:57:04 > 0:57:06I know that name.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Ben Mitchell.

0:57:10 > 0:57:12This gentleman believes he has information

0:57:12 > 0:57:16regarding the death of Heather Trott, Ma'am.

0:57:20 > 0:57:24Who you trying to get back at now? Your dead mother?

0:57:30 > 0:57:32HORN BLARES

0:57:41 > 0:57:43What about the car?!

0:57:45 > 0:57:50I was passed over for promotion thanks to your last episode.

0:57:50 > 0:57:53Look, I ain't lying, all right? I know who did it.

0:57:53 > 0:57:57Is this really all you can think of to get Daddy's attention!?

0:57:57 > 0:58:00No. It's got... It's got nothing to do with him!

0:58:00 > 0:58:02It's always him!

0:58:05 > 0:58:07Everything OK?

0:58:07 > 0:58:10Nothing I can't handle.

0:58:10 > 0:58:13It's Ben, right? What can we help you with?

0:58:19 > 0:58:21What you going to do, bust him out?

0:58:22 > 0:58:29I'm this close to doing you for wasting police time!

0:58:29 > 0:58:30Tell me.

0:58:33 > 0:58:35I, uh.

0:58:35 > 0:58:36DOOR OPENS

0:58:36 > 0:58:38Oh great, now they're all here!

0:58:38 > 0:58:41- What's he said?- Nothing. Yet.

0:58:41 > 0:58:45Good. Well, stop wasting their time. Come on, home. Home.

0:58:45 > 0:58:48He obviously came here for a reason. Ben?

0:58:48 > 0:58:51Think long and hard before you speak because I swear...

0:58:51 > 0:58:53- Come on. Home. Now.- Tell them.

0:58:59 > 0:59:01I killed Heather Trott.

0:59:04 > 0:59:05That's priceless.

0:59:05 > 0:59:10You've got to stop doing this. He's not well, is he?

0:59:10 > 0:59:13- He's been threatening to do this all day.- No!

0:59:13 > 0:59:15He's obsessed. With this place, with the nick.

0:59:15 > 0:59:17- Ever since he got out. - That's not true.

0:59:17 > 0:59:19This is your fault, you know that?

0:59:19 > 0:59:21You sent him down. You screwed him up.

0:59:21 > 0:59:24It's down to me to pick up the pieces and give him some sort of life.

0:59:24 > 0:59:27- I did this!- So, what you going to do? You going to arrest him?

0:59:27 > 0:59:29Give him the attention he wants?

0:59:29 > 0:59:32- Because that's what this is all about.- Phil!- What?!

0:59:32 > 0:59:35Please! Please!

0:59:36 > 0:59:39Come on, let's get you home. Come on.

0:59:39 > 0:59:41Wait!

0:59:41 > 0:59:44Ben Mitchell, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Heather Trott.

0:59:44 > 0:59:47You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence

0:59:47 > 0:59:50if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

0:59:50 > 0:59:52Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

0:59:58 > 1:00:01You should be at home really, it's past your curfew.

1:00:01 > 1:00:03No, I should be at my parenting course.

1:00:03 > 1:00:04I got until ten on Mondays.

1:00:04 > 1:00:07When they find out you're not there they'll do you for staying out.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09You're such a worrier.

1:00:09 > 1:00:11See, you do need walking home.

1:00:11 > 1:00:13No I don't! That's the geezer's job.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15Right, this is how it all starts, yeah?

1:00:15 > 1:00:17One minute you're making fun of me about walking me home,

1:00:17 > 1:00:18the next, I'm ironing pants

1:00:18 > 1:00:21and you're fixing carburettors down the garage.

1:00:21 > 1:00:22What's wrong with that?!

1:00:22 > 1:00:26I'll be finished round here! Even Ben'd have a go at me for that!

1:00:26 > 1:00:31Quite like the thought of you ironing my pants.

1:00:31 > 1:00:33What's wrong?

1:00:34 > 1:00:36I dunno.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40Now you don't say a word until Ritchie gets here.

1:00:40 > 1:00:44- I don't want Ritchie. - You're having Ritchie!

1:00:48 > 1:00:51I'm going to stay here. Make sure that he sees Ritchie.

1:00:51 > 1:00:54He actually did it.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59Now get home. Get rid of that photo frame.

1:01:00 > 1:01:03Get it as far away from the house as you possibly can.

1:01:05 > 1:01:07Well, go on. What are you waiting for?

1:01:10 > 1:01:13You ain't saying a word to him until he's seen my brief.

1:01:13 > 1:01:14I can assure you

1:01:14 > 1:01:17that all legal procedures will be properly observed.

1:01:21 > 1:01:23Do you want a game of poker instead?

1:01:34 > 1:01:36Sorry I was so long.

1:01:36 > 1:01:39Every doorway and street corner's got too many memories here.

1:01:39 > 1:01:42- How's he doing? - He's all right. Still alive.

1:01:42 > 1:01:44- Why, what's happened?- Nothing.

1:01:44 > 1:01:46Denny, are you all right, baby? Are you OK?

1:01:46 > 1:01:48He's fine! I couldn't get a word out of him.

1:01:48 > 1:01:51- Can I have another biscuit, please? - Course you can, yeah.

1:01:51 > 1:01:54- They're in the kitchen. Go on. - Good boy.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58How was Ian?

1:01:58 > 1:02:01It doesn't say much for the community round here, letting him get like that.

1:02:01 > 1:02:05One minute he was getting married, the next minute he was just gone.

1:02:05 > 1:02:09- I suppose things can fall apart quickly like that, can't they?- Yeah.

1:02:10 > 1:02:13- I weren't talking about you. - Look, thanks for babysitting, Max.

1:02:13 > 1:02:17It's all right. What did we say, five pound an hour?

1:02:17 > 1:02:19You want to rate yourself higher than that. Minimum wage at least.

1:02:19 > 1:02:22Try telling the wife that.

1:02:22 > 1:02:24Honestly, it's like working in a poor house here.

1:02:24 > 1:02:28Lucky to get a bowl of gruel in the morning.

1:02:28 > 1:02:29DOOR OPENS

1:02:29 > 1:02:33Hello, darling, sorry I'm late. Stupid client who just...

1:02:34 > 1:02:36You all right, babe? This is.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38Sharon. Hi.

1:02:38 > 1:02:39Are you wearing my clothes?

1:02:39 > 1:02:42Uh. Yeah. Thanks.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44Oh, yeah, she had to change.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Why?

1:02:46 > 1:02:48Out of a wedding dress.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51- I did a runner. From the altar. - What, into my wardrobe?

1:02:51 > 1:02:53Well, I didn't think it was that special.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55Probably what your fiance's thinking right now.

1:03:05 > 1:03:09Phil?! Shirley?!

1:03:30 > 1:03:32Jay?

1:03:33 > 1:03:36Has there been a break-in?

1:03:41 > 1:03:43Are you even listening to me?

1:03:47 > 1:03:49Don't touch that!

1:03:49 > 1:03:52If there has been a break in there'll be finger prints, won't there?

1:03:52 > 1:03:55Well, has anything been taken?

1:03:55 > 1:03:58Dunno, I ain't looked yet. I want Lexi out of here now, though.

1:03:58 > 1:04:00Since when do you tell us what to do?

1:04:00 > 1:04:03- There might be someone in here! - If there is you'll need all the help you can get!

1:04:03 > 1:04:07- I'm not joking! Get out!- All right, fine. Deal with it yourself.

1:04:31 > 1:04:34This is Mike Sommers, duty solicitor.

1:04:34 > 1:04:37You sure you don't want your dad's hot shot lawyer?

1:04:37 > 1:04:39Can we just start?

1:04:39 > 1:04:42The appropriate adult's just arrived. We'll interview him later.

1:04:42 > 1:04:44OK.

1:04:44 > 1:04:47I just want to make a statement. Do you hear me?

1:04:48 > 1:04:50We'll talk when I'm ready

1:04:50 > 1:04:54and to be honest I've got real police work to be getting on with.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56But I can prove I killed her, though!

1:05:18 > 1:05:22Shirl, I don't know what's happened here.

1:05:31 > 1:05:36Ben's gone down the police station. To turn himself in.

1:05:36 > 1:05:38What? What for?

1:05:45 > 1:05:46You tell me.

1:05:49 > 1:05:51Have we not got any kids?

1:05:51 > 1:05:53Oscar's at a friends, Lauren's out.

1:05:53 > 1:05:56I hope you've noticed Abi hasn't been around lately.

1:05:58 > 1:06:01Don't get any ideas. I want my own dress.

1:06:01 > 1:06:03Expensive bit of kit, that is.

1:06:03 > 1:06:06- So?- Well you've had a right result, ain't ya? Swapping yours for that.

1:06:06 > 1:06:09- That's worth a few quid, that is. - She'll be back for it.

1:06:09 > 1:06:10Get your elbows off.

1:06:12 > 1:06:14- You were well harsh on her.- What?!

1:06:14 > 1:06:17I come into my house to find some blonde stood there,

1:06:17 > 1:06:20slagging my clothes off, my husband gawping at her.

1:06:20 > 1:06:21I wasn't gawping at her!

1:06:21 > 1:06:24Yes you were. Falling over yourself to help her.

1:06:24 > 1:06:27Have you got enough salt there? You haven't even tasted this yet.

1:06:27 > 1:06:30I said to Phil I'd do her a favour, didn't I.

1:06:30 > 1:06:31Since when did you owe Phil favours?

1:06:31 > 1:06:34All she had was that dress and a hungry kid.

1:06:34 > 1:06:38If you'd stopped and thought about it you might have seen, mightn't you?

1:06:38 > 1:06:41- Seen what? - How pathetic she looked.

1:06:56 > 1:07:00- Sharon!- Hiya.- Welcome home.

1:07:00 > 1:07:02- Pops! We've got to go! - Look everyone, it's Sharon!

1:07:05 > 1:07:06Sharon!

1:07:06 > 1:07:09Suppose things have moved on a bit, eh?

1:07:09 > 1:07:12- Can I get you a drink? - Pops, we've got to go! Jay? The break-in? Come on.

1:07:12 > 1:07:16- Sorry, Sharon.- Don't worry, Bill. Another time.- Yeah.

1:07:16 > 1:07:18Come on, Denny.

1:07:18 > 1:07:21Let's get you a lemonade, eh?

1:07:24 > 1:07:28Oi, are you listening to me or what? I don't care what he's said,

1:07:28 > 1:07:30I ain't having my boy represented by one of them muppets.

1:07:30 > 1:07:33Hit my window again and we'll have problems.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36This is getting a little frequent for my liking.

1:07:36 > 1:07:39- He's in there with one of them duty solicitors.- Why?

1:07:39 > 1:07:43- I don't know, you need to get in there.- Not much I can do if he doesn't want me.- Are you joking?

1:07:43 > 1:07:45Calm down or you'll be in a cell. What's he saying?

1:07:45 > 1:07:49He's in there telling them he's a murderer, and you want me to calm down?

1:07:54 > 1:07:56We should at least talk about this.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01Look, it's commendable that you want to tell the truth

1:08:01 > 1:08:03but there are ways of telling the truth.

1:08:03 > 1:08:08If I'd wanted a proper lawyer I'd have got my dad's, all right?

1:08:08 > 1:08:10Right, at last!

1:08:10 > 1:08:14This is Mary Smith, your appropriate adult. Mary.

1:08:16 > 1:08:20TAPE BLEEPS

1:08:21 > 1:08:24Interview commencing at 21:47.

1:08:24 > 1:08:27Walford Police Station on Monday August 13th.

1:08:27 > 1:08:31Those present: myself, DS Crisp, DCI Marsden,

1:08:31 > 1:08:36Ben Mitchell, Mike Sommers - duty solicitor, and Mary Smith - appropriate adult.

1:08:36 > 1:08:38Where do you want to start?

1:08:38 > 1:08:39Let's go back to the night in question.

1:08:39 > 1:08:41I remember your psych report.

1:08:44 > 1:08:46That passage about your upbringing.

1:08:46 > 1:08:50Little or no emotional integration with parents.

1:08:51 > 1:08:54It's always because they weren't hugged enough.

1:08:54 > 1:08:58And what's that got to do with anything? I killed her.

1:08:59 > 1:09:03Like your dad killed Stella Crawford? What else did it say?

1:09:03 > 1:09:08Oh, that you continually seek out your father's attention.

1:09:08 > 1:09:10I used a picture frame.

1:09:10 > 1:09:12It's sitting on the table in my living room.

1:09:12 > 1:09:15Either through attempts to please or antagonise.

1:09:15 > 1:09:21It's a big, heavy, metal frame, right? And I picked it up.

1:09:21 > 1:09:24I picked it up and I hit her. I hit her on the left side of her face.

1:09:24 > 1:09:27- I hit right there.- Then there was the bit about you have trouble

1:09:27 > 1:09:32differentiating between real events and fantasies.

1:09:34 > 1:09:36She just fell on her back.

1:09:38 > 1:09:41You were at the scene!

1:09:41 > 1:09:42You saw all of that!

1:09:42 > 1:09:45What my colleague is trying to say is...

1:09:45 > 1:09:47Forget me, this interview,

1:09:47 > 1:09:50forget the fact the CPS aren't going to let you get away

1:09:50 > 1:09:52with wasting our time again.

1:09:53 > 1:09:58Forget your dad, and whatever messed up reason you have for revenge.

1:10:00 > 1:10:04Your step-mum was devastated by Heather's death.

1:10:06 > 1:10:10Now you want to drag it all up again, break her heart again.

1:10:12 > 1:10:14And for what?

1:10:15 > 1:10:18- You're a selfish...- I'm not. - ..manipulative...

1:10:18 > 1:10:20- Please!- ..spoilt kid,

1:10:20 > 1:10:24and if you had any decency, you would stop this right now!

1:10:24 > 1:10:26Yeah, but I did all this!

1:10:26 > 1:10:30- Then tell us something you didn't read in the paper. Because right now...- There was a tea towel!

1:10:30 > 1:10:32There was a tea towel that I put over her face!

1:10:34 > 1:10:37Fibres from a towel were found on her face.

1:10:37 > 1:10:40We didn't find anything matching in the flat, though.

1:10:40 > 1:10:43I wrapped the picture frame in it before I left, all right?

1:10:43 > 1:10:46Is that something I could have read about in the newspaper?

1:10:47 > 1:10:50You know, sometimes when it hit me

1:10:50 > 1:10:54that Phil would never love me as much as I loved him...

1:10:58 > 1:11:03..I knew it would be all right, because I had Hev.

1:11:09 > 1:11:14I could see us growing old together, when all the men had gone.

1:11:16 > 1:11:20And you do go. Die or leave.

1:11:22 > 1:11:26We were going to be like Laurel and Hardy,

1:11:26 > 1:11:30in our PJs, tucked up in a big double bed.

1:11:33 > 1:11:37No prizes for guessing which one was Hardy.

1:11:37 > 1:11:39Never knew which was which.

1:11:42 > 1:11:45Doesn't matter which was which.

1:11:45 > 1:11:47They were a pair.

1:11:52 > 1:11:54Don't punish me anymore.

1:11:54 > 1:11:57I'd never do that!

1:11:57 > 1:11:58Then tell me!

1:12:04 > 1:12:06Ben said that he did it but I don't know.

1:12:06 > 1:12:09I don't trust him. Not like I trust you.

1:12:10 > 1:12:13I know that Phil has been working on you both.

1:12:13 > 1:12:16Making you think you're like Laurel and Hardy. Like you're a pair.

1:12:16 > 1:12:20But you're not a pair. You are not like Ben.

1:12:20 > 1:12:22You're kind.

1:12:22 > 1:12:24No.

1:12:24 > 1:12:26You've got a good soul.

1:12:26 > 1:12:28I haven't!

1:12:30 > 1:12:32You've got a heart.

1:12:32 > 1:12:38- You've got a heart that loves. - I'm not! I am a bad person!

1:12:38 > 1:12:41I am a bad person!

1:12:41 > 1:12:44Just speak, Jay.

1:12:44 > 1:12:45Just speak!

1:12:57 > 1:12:59BILLY: Jay! You in there?

1:13:00 > 1:13:03If anyone's in there, I got a baseball bat!

1:13:09 > 1:13:10Shirl!

1:13:13 > 1:13:14Lola said there'd been a break-in.

1:13:14 > 1:13:17- No, everything's fine. - So I rushed round.

1:13:17 > 1:13:19Now you can run straight back again.

1:13:20 > 1:13:21Jay?

1:13:23 > 1:13:24You all right, son?

1:13:24 > 1:13:27- Jay, what is it?- He's fine. - No, he's not.

1:13:27 > 1:13:31- Billy, will you just go, please? - I'm not going till I find out what's the matter with him.

1:13:51 > 1:13:55- Billy seems to think you're royalty. - Compared to him, I probably am.

1:13:55 > 1:13:58- Let me buy you a drink.- That count as a chat-up line round here?

1:13:58 > 1:14:03- All right, suit yourself.- Look, I'm sorry. Sorry. It's a bad day.

1:14:03 > 1:14:06Least you haven't got a broken leg.

1:14:09 > 1:14:11Not in the diamond business, are you?

1:14:11 > 1:14:13No.

1:14:13 > 1:14:15- Buy it off me anyway.- I've only got a couple of hundred quid on me.

1:14:15 > 1:14:18That'll do.

1:14:18 > 1:14:20Look, if you need it that much I'll lend it you.

1:14:20 > 1:14:24- I don't take charity. - I'm not a con man.

1:14:26 > 1:14:28Look, just take the ring, please!

1:14:28 > 1:14:31You never know when you might need it.

1:14:33 > 1:14:38- What's wrong, Jay?- It's five minutes to your curfew. Just get home, yeah?

1:14:38 > 1:14:41- He's right, Lo. You should get back. - Only if you come with me.

1:14:41 > 1:14:44I ain't going until I get some answers.

1:14:53 > 1:14:56D'you remember the night Heather died, Bill?

1:14:56 > 1:14:58Yeah.

1:14:58 > 1:15:00I had food poisoning.

1:15:04 > 1:15:06I was upstairs and you came in.

1:15:07 > 1:15:10Yeah, you was in a right old state.

1:15:12 > 1:15:13You said I was your boy.

1:15:15 > 1:15:18Yeah. Always.

1:15:21 > 1:15:24And you'll always be like a dad to me.

1:15:30 > 1:15:31And I'll tell you.

1:15:34 > 1:15:39I want to tell you, but right now... I need to talk to Shirley. Please.

1:15:44 > 1:15:46If they have to talk.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59I trust you.

1:16:09 > 1:16:12Oh, you're so good at that.

1:16:12 > 1:16:14What?

1:16:14 > 1:16:16The way you saw them off.

1:16:18 > 1:16:22Just like you did at the table, pretending you had food poisoning.

1:16:23 > 1:16:25And Heather was dead in her flat!

1:16:28 > 1:16:31It wasn't like that!

1:16:31 > 1:16:34They just pulled me along.

1:16:36 > 1:16:38You let me go over there!

1:16:40 > 1:16:42You let me find her!

1:16:47 > 1:16:49Listen, I was gone.

1:16:49 > 1:16:51I was completely gone.

1:16:51 > 1:16:55They showed me a direction and I just took it.

1:16:55 > 1:16:57You got her blood on your hands like him!

1:16:57 > 1:17:01Listen. Heather wouldn't give him the money.

1:17:01 > 1:17:05I tried to stop him, but it all happened so fast, all right?

1:17:05 > 1:17:06I ran... I ran to the Arches.

1:17:06 > 1:17:10Ben and Phil turned up, they said we were family, said we was just like family, right?

1:17:10 > 1:17:12Now look!

1:17:12 > 1:17:15I've lost Heather. I've lost you.

1:17:15 > 1:17:19I've lost absolutely everybody and I just can't get it out of my head.

1:17:19 > 1:17:21Yeah, and I hope it never goes.

1:17:21 > 1:17:25I hope it stays in there for ever.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32Police'll be here in a minute.

1:17:37 > 1:17:39They're going to come looking for that.

1:17:40 > 1:17:43You know Phil told me to get rid of it?

1:17:43 > 1:17:46Asked me to protect you two.

1:17:46 > 1:17:50I thought Ben had already given himself up?

1:17:50 > 1:17:53Yeah, but without that, he's just another lying kid,

1:17:53 > 1:17:55like he's always been.

1:17:58 > 1:18:01What are you going to do?

1:18:05 > 1:18:08- I've thought about it. - The answer's still no.

1:18:08 > 1:18:10You see a ring has two values, don't it?

1:18:10 > 1:18:12How much you pay for it and how much it means.

1:18:12 > 1:18:15I know John spent thousands on this. In terms of what it means,

1:18:15 > 1:18:18- 200 is about right. - Take it somewhere in the morning.

1:18:18 > 1:18:21- Look, we need somewhere to stay tonight!- So let me lend it you.

1:18:21 > 1:18:23I will not start my new life on the scrounge.

1:18:32 > 1:18:34Thank you.

1:18:36 > 1:18:39I wouldn't give this to anyone you care about.

1:18:39 > 1:18:41it doesn't have a good track record.

1:18:49 > 1:18:51All right, bruv?

1:18:51 > 1:18:53You're not, are you?

1:18:53 > 1:18:55You don't know when you're beaten, do you?

1:18:55 > 1:18:57- What did she want? - Nothing. You're late.

1:18:57 > 1:19:00Yeah, well, blame the chef. Dinner took ages.

1:19:00 > 1:19:02You can cook your own, next time.

1:19:02 > 1:19:06Tracey, I'll have bangers and mash twice, a lemonade, a G&T,

1:19:06 > 1:19:09and the name of a good bed and breakfast.

1:19:13 > 1:19:16They're going to believe me now, right?

1:19:16 > 1:19:19They'll have to investigate.

1:19:19 > 1:19:23- If the picture frame is where you say...- It's there.

1:19:51 > 1:19:53What it comes down to now is...

1:19:55 > 1:19:59..whether I love you all more than I hate you all.

1:20:00 > 1:20:04If I'd seen him pick it up I'd have stopped him, I swear to you.

1:20:04 > 1:20:06She trusted you.

1:20:08 > 1:20:09She let you into her flat.

1:20:12 > 1:20:14The last time we were together we had a fight.

1:20:16 > 1:20:18So did we.

1:20:18 > 1:20:21Well...Ben did.

1:20:21 > 1:20:24So just before she died, everyone was angry at her?

1:20:29 > 1:20:31The last words she said.

1:20:34 > 1:20:36What were they?

1:20:39 > 1:20:41I can't remember.

1:20:47 > 1:20:50I only remember the weird things.

1:20:50 > 1:20:52Like the police in McKlunky's.

1:20:54 > 1:20:58I think about how big their hands were.

1:21:00 > 1:21:02Just like my dad's hands when I were little.

1:21:06 > 1:21:08I want my dad.

1:21:19 > 1:21:22Mum!

1:21:22 > 1:21:25Well if you didn't take such big mouthfuls I wouldn't have to do this, would I?

1:21:25 > 1:21:27Please!

1:21:27 > 1:21:28There you go, baby!

1:21:33 > 1:21:36Will John ever come back?

1:21:36 > 1:21:41Now my dinner looks a bit like you, don't it?

1:21:41 > 1:21:44- No it doesn't! - I'm starving(!)- Stop it!

1:21:46 > 1:21:49I'd be bawling my eyes out if my wedding day ended up like this.

1:21:49 > 1:21:51Yeah. He was rich though, weren't he?

1:21:51 > 1:21:53She was probably only in it for the money.

1:21:53 > 1:21:56Yeah, easy come, easy go. Women like that turn my stomach.

1:21:56 > 1:22:00- Oi, Sharon ain't like that. - You've only known her five minutes!

1:22:05 > 1:22:08So, you ready for me to buy you that drink yet?

1:22:08 > 1:22:11That doesn't look like me, does it?

1:22:11 > 1:22:13Nah, nowhere near as handsome.

1:22:13 > 1:22:15See, Mum?

1:22:15 > 1:22:18A gin and tonic for me and a lemonade for Denny.

1:22:22 > 1:22:25- Where's my boy?- We're still interviewing him.- He's lying.

1:22:25 > 1:22:28Even so, we need to talk to you, too.

1:22:28 > 1:22:31We've heard enough to call your alibi into question.

1:22:31 > 1:22:35Listen, I've given you my statement. I've got nothing to add to that.

1:22:35 > 1:22:40- Now get your hands off me.- If we find any evidence to suggest you knew about this, we'll arrest you.

1:22:40 > 1:22:44- Just get your hands off me, I said. - Phil!

1:22:59 > 1:23:01It's them.

1:23:05 > 1:23:07You going to give it to them?

1:23:07 > 1:23:11- KNOCKING - Police! Open the door! >

1:23:13 > 1:23:14Just tell me!

1:23:14 > 1:23:16KNOCKING

1:23:16 > 1:23:20Police. Open up! Open the door! >

1:23:20 > 1:23:22KNOCKING

1:23:24 > 1:23:27Open up! Police! >

1:23:29 > 1:23:33KNOCKING

1:23:33 > 1:23:37You need to stop worrying about what he's saying

1:23:37 > 1:23:39and concentrate on what you're going to say.

1:23:39 > 1:23:42He thinks he's making things right.

1:23:42 > 1:23:47But getting put away, it don't make you an hero, it makes you a mug.

1:23:48 > 1:23:51People think, don't they, that it'll cure them.

1:23:51 > 1:23:54Wash away their sins, like confession or something.

1:23:56 > 1:23:58I never met an ex con who thinks that.

1:23:58 > 1:24:01I expect he thinks he's doing the noble thing.

1:24:01 > 1:24:04There's nothing noble in a six by four cell.

1:24:06 > 1:24:09You need to stick to your story.

1:24:09 > 1:24:11You met them at the garage. You went home for dinner.

1:24:12 > 1:24:14And what about before I got there?

1:24:14 > 1:24:17How could you know what happened before you got there?

1:24:19 > 1:24:21He refused your help. Didn't want to see me.

1:24:23 > 1:24:25You got to the garage at 7.20,

1:24:25 > 1:24:27just like you said in your statement.

1:24:27 > 1:24:29Whatever happened before...

1:24:29 > 1:24:31happened before.

1:24:44 > 1:24:46DOOR OPENS

1:24:48 > 1:24:50FOOTSTEPS

1:24:51 > 1:24:53It's the police.

1:24:56 > 1:24:59It was just me. Why's that so hard to believe?

1:24:59 > 1:25:03Calm down, Ben. You've got what you want. We're listening.

1:25:03 > 1:25:06I'm just saying. I was on my own.

1:25:07 > 1:25:09As you're so keen to assert.

1:25:10 > 1:25:13How long are they taking? Have they found anything yet?

1:25:27 > 1:25:30"There were signs of a break-in when we entered the property."

1:25:30 > 1:25:31Yeah, well, I roughed it up a bit,

1:25:31 > 1:25:33you know, made it look like a burglary.

1:25:33 > 1:25:35What made you do that?

1:25:35 > 1:25:37That's a bit of a stupid question, innit?

1:25:37 > 1:25:40I'm just trying to figure out how a frightened,

1:25:40 > 1:25:4216-year-old boy had the presence of mind

1:25:42 > 1:25:47to cover his tracks moments after killing a close friend.

1:25:47 > 1:25:49Yeah, well, everything was sharp, you know,

1:25:49 > 1:25:50it was like I was seeing it in HD.

1:25:50 > 1:25:53Must have been the adrenaline or something.

1:25:53 > 1:25:55So it just occurred to you to fake a burglary?

1:25:55 > 1:25:57Yeah.

1:25:57 > 1:25:59And when I done that, it occurred to me

1:25:59 > 1:26:00that I needed to change my clothes.

1:26:00 > 1:26:03So I went to the Arches and, well, Jay was there.

1:26:03 > 1:26:07Ah, yes, Jay. Of course.

1:26:07 > 1:26:08Tell me about Jay.

1:26:12 > 1:26:15Well, he was there...

1:26:15 > 1:26:18and he was working on a car.

1:26:18 > 1:26:22Well, at least Jay was, Ben was holding the lamp.

1:26:22 > 1:26:24It's about as technical as he can get.

1:26:24 > 1:26:27But you've got all this in my statement, ain't you?

1:26:27 > 1:26:30How did Ben seem?

1:26:30 > 1:26:31Fine.

1:26:31 > 1:26:33You'd just been released from custody

1:26:33 > 1:26:36after he lied to put you there and he seemed fine?

1:26:36 > 1:26:39I'd be terrified if you were my dad.

1:26:39 > 1:26:41Well, I wouldn't have a son like you.

1:26:43 > 1:26:44I asked you how he seemed.

1:26:47 > 1:26:50He said sorry. That he wanted to sort things out.

1:26:50 > 1:26:52That he wanted us to be a proper family again.

1:26:52 > 1:26:55I said sure. And he was relieved.

1:26:55 > 1:26:58No, he didn't seem like he'd just killed someone.

1:26:58 > 1:26:59But he could have done.

1:26:59 > 1:27:05It took you...an hour to get there after you'd been released.

1:27:05 > 1:27:07When was the last time you used a bus?

1:27:07 > 1:27:10Still, you didn't get there till 7.20.

1:27:10 > 1:27:13- He could have done it before. - He was with Jay.

1:27:13 > 1:27:16Oh, that's right.

1:27:16 > 1:27:17He was with Jay.

1:27:19 > 1:27:22What do you mean, what did we talk about?

1:27:22 > 1:27:26I mean just that. You'd just left Heather's body.

1:27:26 > 1:27:29Her child was asleep in his bed. You must have been terrified.

1:27:31 > 1:27:33Didn't Jay notice you acting strangely?

1:27:34 > 1:27:35No.

1:27:35 > 1:27:39He didn't wonder why you needed to change clothes?

1:27:39 > 1:27:40Change clothes?

1:27:40 > 1:27:43Yes. That's why you went to the garage, right?

1:27:43 > 1:27:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:27:44 > 1:27:48Right. So, what did he say when you started to change clothes?

1:27:50 > 1:27:51Nothing.

1:27:51 > 1:27:53He didn't think it odd?

1:27:55 > 1:27:59As my client said, Jay was busy working on the car.

1:28:01 > 1:28:06Now, according to your statements taken on that night, you were working on it together.

1:28:06 > 1:28:10Look, Jay's not important, all right? It was just me! I did it. Not him.

1:28:10 > 1:28:13Why would I think he'd done it?

1:28:17 > 1:28:19I came back to the only place I knew,

1:28:19 > 1:28:22banging on Phil Mitchell's door in my wedding dress.

1:28:22 > 1:28:26I just didn't know how I was going to get Denny back, you know.

1:28:26 > 1:28:29How long does it take to go to the loo, eh?

1:28:29 > 1:28:31He's all right. So, what now?

1:28:31 > 1:28:36Hmm? Oh, Kimberly's Palace? Apparently it's OK.

1:28:37 > 1:28:40You do remember that you invited us to the pub?

1:28:40 > 1:28:44Join us. If you trust your husband anywhere near me.

1:28:44 > 1:28:47I thought you liked them the right side of 30.

1:28:48 > 1:28:51Go back to your friends, Jack.

1:28:51 > 1:28:53They're not my friends.

1:28:53 > 1:28:55See, that's my family and I'm stuck with them, ain't I?

1:28:55 > 1:28:56You're not stuck with me.

1:28:56 > 1:29:02No. I'm sitting here because I want to sit here.

1:29:29 > 1:29:32Where's Bobby's games?

1:29:32 > 1:29:34We had to sell most of them.

1:29:34 > 1:29:36To buy food.

1:29:47 > 1:29:49Thank you.

1:29:50 > 1:29:51What? That's it?

1:29:51 > 1:29:54We need to investigate whether you were involved in a cover-up,

1:29:54 > 1:29:57but you can't account for Ben's whereabouts at the time of the murder.

1:29:57 > 1:29:58No, I never said that.

1:29:58 > 1:30:00PHONE BEEPS

1:30:05 > 1:30:07Excuse me a moment.

1:30:07 > 1:30:11Hang on a sec, I never said that! I never said that!

1:30:14 > 1:30:17I'm still waiting for an answer, Ben.

1:30:21 > 1:30:22KNOCK AT THE DOOR

1:30:22 > 1:30:24Yeah?

1:30:24 > 1:30:28- For the benefit of the tape, DS Crisp has entered the room. - We're at the property now.

1:30:28 > 1:30:29Finally!

1:30:29 > 1:30:32They haven't found a picture frame.

1:30:33 > 1:30:35I left it on the table! I swear!

1:30:35 > 1:30:37Either you're lying and none of this is true,

1:30:37 > 1:30:38or your family's hidden it,

1:30:38 > 1:30:40which makes them an accessory to murder.

1:30:42 > 1:30:45Nobody else knows about it. Nobody apart from me.

1:30:47 > 1:30:51Interview suspended at 22.20.

1:30:51 > 1:30:52I hope you're right.

1:30:52 > 1:30:55Or you're going to end up taking everyone down with you.

1:31:02 > 1:31:03So, what are you playing at?

1:31:03 > 1:31:06- I'm just giving the girl some company.- Pfft!

1:31:06 > 1:31:07GLASS SMASHES

1:31:07 > 1:31:09- Oh!- Careful, darling!

1:31:09 > 1:31:11Take that off. Oh, what have you done?

1:31:11 > 1:31:12Here, have a tissue.

1:31:12 > 1:31:15I got another one for you here. Look.

1:31:15 > 1:31:18It's too big!

1:31:18 > 1:31:19It's not too big. It's the fashion.

1:31:19 > 1:31:23Everyone's wearing them too big now, aren't they, Max?

1:31:23 > 1:31:24Yeah.

1:31:24 > 1:31:26- Yeah, see? You look the part. - What you doing?

1:31:26 > 1:31:28I poured my drink over him.

1:31:28 > 1:31:31Well, you can't take this. It's far too big.

1:31:31 > 1:31:32Go on, he can borrow it.

1:31:32 > 1:31:36- You're supposed to wear them big, Mum.- I said give it back!

1:31:36 > 1:31:38Come on, we've got to get to the B&B before it locks up.

1:31:38 > 1:31:39Give the kid a break.

1:31:39 > 1:31:41Excuse me? What do you know about my life, eh?

1:31:41 > 1:31:44Listen, you've only just bought these drinks, ain't you?

1:31:44 > 1:31:47Look, thanks for everything, you've been really kind.

1:31:47 > 1:31:49Yeah, well, you're easy to be kind to.

1:31:49 > 1:31:52Come on, Denny, it's just across the Square.

1:31:52 > 1:31:53She's a piece of work, she is.

1:31:53 > 1:31:55Sharon.

1:31:58 > 1:32:02Look, Kim's place ain't all that. Come to mine.

1:32:02 > 1:32:04I got a big telly, computer games.

1:32:04 > 1:32:05Amazing!

1:32:05 > 1:32:08- Look, we don't know you. - Look, just let me help.- Why?

1:32:08 > 1:32:12Ain't like that. It's not safe out there.

1:32:12 > 1:32:13It's late.

1:32:13 > 1:32:14How do I know it's safe at yours?

1:32:14 > 1:32:19Oh, right, so first off you say I look like some crooked diamond dealer,

1:32:19 > 1:32:21and now I look like a serial killer, do I?

1:32:21 > 1:32:23Clearly, you need to work on your image.

1:32:23 > 1:32:24Image?

1:32:24 > 1:32:27I'm not the one walking round the streets with a kid, am I?

1:32:27 > 1:32:29I didn't mean that.

1:32:29 > 1:32:32Listen, my place ain't exactly the honeymoon suite,

1:32:32 > 1:32:34but it's better than an hostel.

1:32:34 > 1:32:38And if you don't trust me, take the keys, I'll stay at my brother's.

1:32:40 > 1:32:42Please, Mum.

1:32:48 > 1:32:50KNOCK AT THE DOOR

1:32:55 > 1:32:57Shirley, I'm sorry about this.

1:32:57 > 1:32:59Yeah, course you are.

1:32:59 > 1:33:02Any idea why the object isn't where Ben tells us it is?

1:33:05 > 1:33:08- Jay, I'm going to need you to come down to the station.- Why?

1:33:08 > 1:33:10- What do you want to talk to him for? - Just routine.

1:33:10 > 1:33:13If you'd like to go with one of my colleagues.

1:33:22 > 1:33:24Why don't you and me have a little talk?

1:33:49 > 1:33:50I was just looking.

1:33:50 > 1:33:53You can have the soup, Dad.

1:33:53 > 1:33:58You're in my room. But I'm not making the bed for you.

1:33:59 > 1:34:00Well, what about my bed?

1:34:00 > 1:34:05I'm in there with Joey. He'll be back later.

1:34:09 > 1:34:11And I'm not cooking for you, either.

1:34:18 > 1:34:20Sorry.

1:34:21 > 1:34:22For what?

1:34:24 > 1:34:27Just don't make a noise when you come up.

1:34:37 > 1:34:42You know why we're here? Ben's confessed to murdering Heather.

1:34:45 > 1:34:48Must be a shock. Assuming you knew nothing about it.

1:34:48 > 1:34:50What do you take me for?

1:34:52 > 1:34:54Can't say I believe him.

1:34:54 > 1:34:58Ending a life, it's profound.

1:34:58 > 1:34:59Has a profound effect.

1:34:59 > 1:35:02I can't believe he could just sit round a dinner table with you all

1:35:02 > 1:35:04and manage not to give himself away.

1:35:04 > 1:35:07He's too fragile.

1:35:07 > 1:35:08Don't let him fool you.

1:35:15 > 1:35:18So you think he did it?

1:35:18 > 1:35:20Why?

1:35:20 > 1:35:22He's just a little boy.

1:35:22 > 1:35:24He's never been just a little boy, has he?

1:35:24 > 1:35:27My colleague, DCI Marsden, wants to do him for wasting our time,

1:35:27 > 1:35:30but I really don't think that's going to help.

1:35:30 > 1:35:33So you're just going to let him go?

1:35:33 > 1:35:36That's what we do with innocent people.

1:35:39 > 1:35:42What about Heather? She was innocent.

1:35:42 > 1:35:44Come on. We've done all we can here.

1:35:44 > 1:35:45I said, what about Heather?

1:35:49 > 1:35:51It gets easier, Shirley.

1:35:51 > 1:35:53I promise.

1:35:59 > 1:36:03You know, there's only one way that this will get easier.

1:36:48 > 1:36:51# If that horse and cart falls down

1:36:51 > 1:36:56# You'll still be the sweetest little boy in town

1:36:56 > 1:37:01# So hush little baby, don't you cry

1:37:02 > 1:37:07# Your daddy loves you and so do I. #

1:37:21 > 1:37:23Thanks for talking me into this.

1:37:23 > 1:37:25Thanks for trusting me.

1:37:25 > 1:37:29Well, you're easy to trust. Want a nightcap?

1:37:31 > 1:37:32Shirl?

1:37:34 > 1:37:35Shirl, what were the police doing here?

1:37:35 > 1:37:38Shirl, what have you done to Jay?

1:37:38 > 1:37:40I knew I shouldn't have left him here.

1:37:42 > 1:37:43It's Ben.

1:37:45 > 1:37:46Ben!

1:37:46 > 1:37:48What?

1:37:50 > 1:37:52Ben's a murderer.

1:37:56 > 1:37:57That night.

1:38:00 > 1:38:02Jay said he had food poisoning. He didn't.

1:38:03 > 1:38:05He'd just watched Ben kill Heather.

1:38:19 > 1:38:21Ben says he murdered her.

1:38:23 > 1:38:26Now, according to your statement, taken on that night,

1:38:26 > 1:38:28you were with him.

1:38:30 > 1:38:33So that puts you at the scene of the crime as well.

1:38:33 > 1:38:34No.

1:38:34 > 1:38:38No, it doesn't! Cos I was at the Arches, working on a car.

1:38:38 > 1:38:39Jay...

1:38:40 > 1:38:45..Phil only cares about getting his son off, and the only thing

1:38:45 > 1:38:48he hasn't tried yet is pointing the finger at you.

1:38:51 > 1:38:54Do you really think he won't resort to that? When he gets desperate?

1:38:54 > 1:38:56We stick together.

1:38:56 > 1:38:58We're family.

1:39:03 > 1:39:04PHONE BEEPS

1:39:13 > 1:39:16Interview suspended at 23.03.

1:39:27 > 1:39:30We've got the picture frame. It's with forensics now.

1:39:31 > 1:39:33I really thought he was lying.

1:39:33 > 1:39:37We might not get anything off it after all this time.

1:39:37 > 1:39:40If we don't there's nothing to stop Ben retracting his statement.

1:39:40 > 1:39:41There's no way he acted alone.

1:39:41 > 1:39:45- Killed her then sat round the dinner table with his family. - You think the dad?

1:39:45 > 1:39:47Who else?

1:39:47 > 1:39:48Phil can soak up our questions for ever.

1:39:48 > 1:39:52Let's focus on the boys. They're not cut out for this.

1:39:56 > 1:39:58Do you think I'll ever see my house again?

1:40:00 > 1:40:03There's no point in dwelling on that.

1:40:04 > 1:40:08It's funny. I keep trying to picture it but...

1:40:08 > 1:40:10it's all a blur.

1:40:16 > 1:40:19Well? Did you find it?

1:40:20 > 1:40:22MACHINE BUZZES

1:40:27 > 1:40:29BUZZING STOPS

1:40:29 > 1:40:32Interview commencing at 23.06 at Walford police station on August 13th.

1:40:32 > 1:40:35Those present are myself DS Crisp, Ben Mitchell, Mike Sommers,

1:40:35 > 1:40:37duty solicitor, and Mary Smith, appropriate adult.

1:40:37 > 1:40:39Was Shirley and Jay there? Are they all right?

1:40:39 > 1:40:42You've gone round to Heather's. You think she's dropped you in it.

1:40:42 > 1:40:45Things get nasty. Phil comes in, after your blood.

1:40:46 > 1:40:47You found it.

1:40:47 > 1:40:48Maybe you've killed her.

1:40:48 > 1:40:51Maybe there's a struggle and he's killed her.

1:40:51 > 1:40:52Either way, he knows.

1:40:52 > 1:40:53No!

1:40:53 > 1:40:55Now, he's been around. Acts fast.

1:40:55 > 1:40:58Fakes a robbery while you're still trying to work out

1:40:58 > 1:41:00what's just happened to the rest of your life.

1:41:00 > 1:41:01No. I did it.

1:41:01 > 1:41:06He gets you through it. His idea of good parenting, no doubt.

1:41:06 > 1:41:09The only thing I don't get is, you can finally bring him down,

1:41:09 > 1:41:11only this time, you're protecting him.

1:41:11 > 1:41:14No! No! No, I ain't, all right? Just ask Jay, all right?

1:41:14 > 1:41:16It was me!

1:41:17 > 1:41:19Why would Jay know?

1:41:22 > 1:41:24I can see you want to talk.

1:41:27 > 1:41:29Come on, the story's ridiculous.

1:41:30 > 1:41:32Ben kills Heather,

1:41:32 > 1:41:36sees you five minutes later and you don't notice anything odd about him?

1:41:36 > 1:41:39He's not upset. He's not agitated.

1:41:39 > 1:41:42You don't notice him change out of any bloody clothes.

1:41:42 > 1:41:44I was working on a car.

1:41:44 > 1:41:48I thought you were working on it together? Which is it?

1:41:50 > 1:41:51We was working on it together.

1:41:53 > 1:41:55But he says he wasn't.

1:41:55 > 1:41:57He says he found you there.

1:41:59 > 1:42:01Jay, come on.

1:42:03 > 1:42:05You know I'm not asking you to grass him up?

1:42:06 > 1:42:09Ben's already told us what happened.

1:42:14 > 1:42:16I'm beginning to think you're more involved in this

1:42:16 > 1:42:17than Ben's letting on.

1:42:18 > 1:42:22Are you telling me that Jay did this?

1:42:23 > 1:42:27Jay will get the Arches. Get married.

1:42:29 > 1:42:32Abi. Or maybe Lola.

1:42:33 > 1:42:38He'll have kids. He'll have it all.

1:42:39 > 1:42:42He deserves it. He's good.

1:42:47 > 1:42:50He didn't do this. And neither did my dad.

1:42:51 > 1:42:53I did all this.

1:42:55 > 1:42:57You're an unreliable witness.

1:42:57 > 1:43:00Even with the frame, I'm not putting this before the CPS...

1:43:00 > 1:43:02Do you need someone else, then?

1:43:02 > 1:43:05- You need someone else to back me up?- Yes.

1:43:05 > 1:43:07Let me talk to Jay.

1:43:07 > 1:43:09I'm not going to do that.

1:43:09 > 1:43:10At least let me get a message to him?

1:43:10 > 1:43:12I can't, no.

1:43:23 > 1:43:26Interview suspended at ten minutes past midnight.

1:43:26 > 1:43:30I'm going to get DCI Marsden for a quick coffee.

1:44:16 > 1:44:17Thank you.

1:44:43 > 1:44:45For your client.

1:45:10 > 1:45:13You should have seen the bridal suite we were staying in tonight.

1:45:13 > 1:45:17It had floor to ceiling windows overlooking the river.

1:45:17 > 1:45:20This fire place that came out the floor and...

1:45:20 > 1:45:23this big tropical fish tank. It was beautiful.

1:45:23 > 1:45:26You know, when we booked it,

1:45:26 > 1:45:31we lay on the bed and somehow, it just seemed...wrong.

1:45:31 > 1:45:33Ugly.

1:45:33 > 1:45:36Like all that beauty had shone a light on us, and shown us up.

1:45:36 > 1:45:38That's when I knew it was over.

1:45:38 > 1:45:41You just got post-wedding blues.

1:45:42 > 1:45:47There was no wedding, was there? I remain unmarried. Single.

1:45:49 > 1:45:52You know, I can take things going wrong,

1:45:52 > 1:45:55I just don't want to spend my wedding night on my own.

1:45:59 > 1:46:01You sure this won't shine a light on us?

1:46:09 > 1:46:12You were there, weren't you? You saw him murder her.

1:46:13 > 1:46:16Bet you were scared. Just carried along.

1:46:16 > 1:46:18All right, just stop.

1:46:20 > 1:46:21Look what it's done to you.

1:46:24 > 1:46:25I didn't kill her.

1:46:27 > 1:46:31Either we charge you both, jointly, with her murder...

1:46:34 > 1:46:37..or you do what Ben wants you to do.

1:46:51 > 1:46:52Do you know Laurel and Hardy?

1:46:52 > 1:46:56- I don't follow.- It's not a difficult question, is it?

1:46:56 > 1:46:58Of course I do.

1:47:00 > 1:47:04What one was the fat one and what one was the thin one?

1:47:06 > 1:47:07Does it matter?

1:47:37 > 1:47:38Sharon?

1:48:05 > 1:48:07Uniform.

1:48:08 > 1:48:10Yeah, I thought you could start off by cleaning the fryers.

1:48:10 > 1:48:13Thank you.

1:48:16 > 1:48:22He's here with the contracts, so you can sign over the businesses.
