00:30DOORBELL BUZZES
00:35Can I get you anything to drink before you start?
00:38I had a drink.
00:40At my engagement party.
00:42The party that you ruined when you dragged me off in front of my family and friends.
00:45I said we have reason to believe...
00:46Well, you're wrong.
00:48You've made a massive mistake.
00:50No-one hurt Debbie.
00:52Take a seat, Mr Carwell.
01:00I mean, if he was desperate to marry Sonia, who's to say he didn't just...
01:10clear the path?
01:11What do you mean, with a brush?
01:13No.
01:14Clear the path.
01:16Any luck, Mike?
01:18No.
01:19Jack has no answer.
01:20What happened then?
01:22Oh, he's mental.
01:23He took them both away in handcuffs.
01:25Oh, that makes it right.
01:26Didn't think that they'd have done it, didn't they?
01:28They wouldn't put her under caution unless they did.
01:30I don't believe Sonia would do anything like that.
01:33She wouldn't.
01:35Oi, Oi.
01:36Yeah?
01:37Do you know why the old Bill carted off Rhys and his missus?
01:39Yeah, they, er...
01:41They think he might have trapped his wife.
01:43You said we was moving to a safer area.
01:46What do you mean, moving?
01:48It was supposed to be a surprise, Bill.
01:50We just bought number one.
01:52Oh, number one Chelsea's house?
01:53Number one Grey Atkins' house.
01:55Yeah, that was the name on the contract.
01:57Why?
01:58There's something I should know about this fella.
02:05Hello.
02:06I have run you a lovely little bath.
02:09Are you going to take her in and get her ready?
02:11Yeah, she could.
02:13I am so relieved that she's OK.
02:15Yeah, we all are.
02:16Yeah, especially him.
02:18See you later.
02:19Thanks, Jack.
02:21Mum, go easy on him.
02:22He feels terrible about it.
02:28DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
02:41This can't go on, Harvey.
02:43Working like this.
02:45No.
02:47What if she died?
02:51I know, Jane.
02:53And what if you'd fallen asleep at the wheel
02:56and crashed into a wall or hit a pedestrian?
02:59Please, Jane.
03:01And you're responsible for everyone who steps a foot inside.
03:03Yeah, I know.
03:07Sorry.
03:10That's all I've been saying for the past three hours.
03:15Well, you've got to cut your hours down.
03:18I can't.
03:20Why not?
03:23I don't know why.
03:25Because the money.
03:27You must have quite a bit squirrelled away the hours you've been working.
03:30I don't.
03:34So where's it gone, then?
03:36Please don't tell me you're gambling.
03:39No.
03:41So...
03:43sending money to Dana or something?
03:47Yeah.
03:49You got me.
03:50Oh.
03:52I thought that might be the case.
03:54So I phoned her.
03:57And she hasn't heard from you for over a fortnight.
04:00You went behind my back to find my daughter?
04:02My daughter? Our daughter?
04:04Why don't you get it?
04:06We're a family.
04:08I was worried about you, so I texted you.
04:10You had no right.
04:12I had every right.
04:14The hours that you are working are affecting everybody
04:17and you don't have the decency to explain yourself.
04:19You just lie.
04:20And I will not be lied to.
04:22It was Maya.
04:27I'm giving the money to Maya.
04:30Please, Jean, try and understand.
04:33I feel like I've got a responsibility to help them.
04:35Why? It's not your responsibility.
04:37Because I lied for him.
04:40Yes, and you lied to me. Again.
04:42Because I knew you'd get upset.
04:45Look, when Aaron attacked her...
04:47This has got nothing to do with Aaron.
04:51This is about our family in the here and now.
04:55And you need to put us first.
04:58So you need to phone this Maya,
05:00Maya, or however you pronounce her name,
05:02and tell her that it's over.
05:04That's it. No more.
05:07Cal, can I even keep her in if she's pregnant?
05:11It depends how good her brief is.
05:13Right, and do we know who's representing her?
05:15Well, they've got a bank of duty solicitors.
05:18They any good?
05:19Some are, some ain't.
05:20Look, hopefully she'll get a good one.
05:22Hopefully.
05:23Mate, that's not good enough, is it?
05:25I'll see you in a bit.
05:26So you're telling me you murdered them all in that house?
05:29Yeah.
05:30I mean, I don't know.
05:32I'll see you in a bit.
05:33So you're telling me you murdered them all in that house?
05:36Two of them, yeah.
05:37One being his wife, the mother of his kids.
05:40That's terrible business.
05:42Isn't it, H? Terrible.
05:44Yeah, terrible.
05:46You just bought an house off a murderer.
05:48And that's all you've got to say?
05:50What do you want me to say?
05:51It's not like he murdered anyone I know,
05:53and, well, to be fair, I've got a cracking deal on the house.
05:57Sorry? You bought number one?
06:00Yeah, the murder house.
06:01I'll give you a private ghost tour later if you want.
06:03Do you think what happened in that house is some sort of junk?
06:06People died. I nearly died.
06:10Sick.
06:19Here you go.
06:23Mr Corwin.
06:33I lose more fluid than most in the heat.
06:36From my armpits, mostly.
06:38That's why it's auxiliary hypohidrosis.
06:40You know, I often wear tank tops, not jumpers.
06:43They're full of ventilation.
06:45But I didn't kill her.
06:47I know why you might think I did, because I'm the husband,
06:50and it's always the husband, Mr Corwin.
06:52No, no, and then you've got Debbie's parents shouting the odds.
06:55And now I'm getting married again, and you've put two and two together,
06:58and you've come up with five.
07:00You don't need to be an accountant to know that's wrong.
07:02Mr Corwin, you... No, no, stop.
07:04No, no, you need to understand this.
07:06Debbie was very sick.
07:08More sick than you probably understand.
07:11She'd been close to dying multiple times over the past five years.
07:15Blood clots in the legs, urinary tract infection, pneumonia.
07:19Your wife was smothered to death, Mr Corwin.
07:23No. No, that's impossible.
07:25The post-mortem uncovered definitive evidence of asphyxia.
07:29The pathologist found faint bruising around her mouth and her chin
07:33and inside her mouth.
07:35Particular hemorrhages were visible round the eyes and in the eyelids.
07:38Fluid overload of the tissues, blue discolouration...
07:41That's enough, I'm sorry, I don't need obviously details.
07:46Your wife was smothered to death with a pillow.
07:49Fibres from that pillow were found in her nasal cavities
07:52and in her throat.
07:54You'll recall that both of you voluntarily provided us with a DNA sample.
07:58Forensics found DNA from you and Ms Fowler
08:02on the pillow that was used to murder your wife.
08:06I just can't believe that someone would do that to her.
08:09Hurt her like that.
08:11It's unbelievable.
08:13Do you have any explanation
08:15as to how your DNA might have been found on her pillow?
08:18You don't have to answer.
08:20No, I want to.
08:22We touched her bedding all the time,
08:24to move her arms and her legs,
08:26to stop her from getting bed sores.
08:28It's the nurse in me.
08:30It's natural to want to make someone comfortable.
08:33I touched her pillow lots of times.
08:35Loads of people must have touched her pillow.
08:37Have you spoken to the nursing staff?
08:39We're exploring every angle.
08:41But we do know that you visited Mrs Corwell
08:44shortly before she was found dead.
08:46I've never said otherwise.
08:49The nurse on duty said you entered her room without signing in,
08:53breaching the care home regulations.
08:55Because there was no one on reception.
08:57Were you in the habit of visiting Mrs Corwell on your own?
09:00Once or twice.
09:02To take the pressure off of Rhys.
09:04And I liked visiting her.
09:06And why did you visit her on this occasion?
09:10I don't know.
09:13I suppose I felt guilty.
09:15I'd not seen her in a while.
09:17She'd been poorly.
09:19I thought it'd be nice to spend some time with her.
09:23What?
09:27It's just that you talk about her as if she's your friend.
09:31But what you were doing with her husband wasn't exactly friendly.
09:35You never felt like she was in the way.
09:38No, I did not.
09:40OK.
09:42It's just that we have a witness statement.
09:45You were heard saying, and I quote,
09:48things would be much easier if she was dead.
09:54What do you want?
09:56No, I'm sorry to bother you, Phil, it's just I didn't really know where else to go.
09:59Yeah, well, make it quick, cos I'm expecting a call from the States.
10:02OK, erm...
10:04Yeah, it's...
10:06Look, I need some legal advice.
10:08Yeah, why? Some other dodgy banana?
10:10It's Sonia. She's in trouble.
10:12Yeah?
10:14Yeah. Good.
10:16Her and Rhys have been arrested.
10:18For murder.
10:24Why are you here?
10:26Same reason, Phil. We used to watch public executions.
10:29Do we really have to do this?
10:31Yes, mate, we do.
10:33Because there are some things in life you can't control.
10:35Like taking on some monks there and seeing them get fog-marched off to prison.
10:39There are some things you can, like this.
10:42Look, boys, we burnt our bridges at the old place,
10:45and only a fool makes the same mistake twice.
10:54Hey, er, I wanted to apologise
10:57for what this plonker said back at the pub.
11:00Truth be told, the boy is so dense that life ends round him.
11:04And he can't talk for himself?
11:06No, no, he can. It's just usually best he don't.
11:10Stand here. Apologise.
11:14Look, I'm sorry, yeah? Let me make it up to you.
11:17You fancy a drink tomorrow night? Oi, what?
11:19What are you doing? Show some respect.
11:21I'm sorry.
11:24I'm sorry.
11:26It's fine.
11:28I think we're done here.
11:31We were just talking about the house, that was all,
11:34and we had no idea it was ours.
11:36And Billy never told you the story?
11:38No, he had no reason to.
11:40I never told him I was interested in buying the house,
11:43and, well, the whole thing kind of happened quite fast.
11:45And if you'd known, you'd have still bought it, yeah?
11:48Yeah. Yeah, I would have.
11:50The deal was too good to turn down.
11:52Well, I'm glad you managed to snag yourself a bargain.
11:55Look, it ain't just about the money.
11:57Sometimes you just need a fresh start to move forward with your life.
12:01Sounds like your daughter went through hell in that house.
12:05Well, maybe she needs a fresh start too.
12:07For what it's worth, I'm sorry my boy upset her.
12:11I really am.
12:19So if the old bill have arrested them, they must have evidence.
12:22You seriously think she could have done this? Sonia?
12:24Come on, you've known her since she was a little girl.
12:26I know that. A fella of hers is a lying, thieving scumbag.
12:29So murder's just another couple of steps up the ladder, innit?
12:31I'm not talking about Rhys.
12:33I don't care about Rhys, I care about Sonia.
12:36Do you think she could have done this?
12:39No.
12:40Then help her, please.
12:42Look, she needs a solicitor, a good solicitor,
12:45not just the next cab off the rank.
12:47You know Rhys tried to nicknock me, don't you?
12:49I don't care about that.
12:51Phil, come on, she's one of our own, she needs help.
12:55And she saved Ben's life, remember?
12:59When Ben was shot by a hunter, she stepped up.
13:02And you've got the chance to repay her here and now.
13:08Is there any chance I can see Sonia?
13:10Not at the moment.
13:11I just want to check she's OK.
13:13She's pregnant, can you make sure whoever's with her knows that?
13:16I do, and I'll take good care of her, I promise.
13:20IVF, wasn't it?
13:22How many cycles?
13:24This was our third.
13:26Expensive business.
13:28How did you fund it?
13:30I think Debbie's parents probably told you that.
13:32From you?
13:34For the tape?
13:37I took the money from Debbie's account.
13:42Did you ever discuss Mrs Colwell's life insurance with Mr Colwell?
13:46Yes.
13:47When did you first discuss it?
13:49After she died.
13:51Not before?
13:52No, of course not before.
13:54It was none of my business.
13:56I would have thought it was very much your business,
13:58given that neither of you have any savings.
14:01Mr Colwell's income has fallen off a cliff,
14:04and you're living paycheck to paycheck with a new baby on the way.
14:07I'm not going to pretend we haven't had financial issues,
14:11but it has never even entered my head to solve them by doing what you're saying.
14:16Committing murder...
14:18I mean, even hearing you say it's ridiculous...
14:20I did not kill that woman!
14:22It's quite the temper you've got there.
14:26A word?
14:29Take a moment. Talk to your client.
14:31We'll pick up again once she's calm.
14:37Hey.
14:39You okay?
14:40Yeah, I'm fine.
14:42Well, good, because I was worried.
14:44Your text was a bit cryptic.
14:46Sorry about that.
14:48Yeah, he's...
14:50He's doing really well.
14:52He asked me if I wanted to go for a walk yesterday.
14:56I couldn't believe it, so I went for a walk.
15:00It was a nice day, and I...
15:02I feel like he's coming back, do you know?
15:08Hey.
15:09You all right?
15:10Yeah, I'm just a bit tired.
15:13Hey.
15:14You all right?
15:15Yeah, I'm just a bit tired.
15:18And, er...
15:20Well, that's the problem, really.
15:22That's why I needed to see you.
15:24Um...
15:27I picked up Charlie from nursery today.
15:30Um...
15:32Charlie went home, parked up.
15:35It was hot.
15:37I'm tired.
15:39Um, so...
15:42I closed my eyes, you know, just for a moment.
15:46And Charlie...
15:48She wouldn't have been here.
15:49Well, she wouldn't have been.
15:51And Jack hadn't seen me and woken me up.
15:54Cos...
15:56I wasn't going to make it.
16:00And, er...
16:02She would have died by now.
16:05I would have killed the little girl.
16:09Sorry.
16:13I always did think that Reece was a bit unsavoury.
16:16And Sonia is a nurse.
16:18She's got access to all those drugs, just saying.
16:20No, Sonia.
16:21No, no, I don't buy that.
16:23Buy what?
16:24Sonia and Reece have just been arrested for murder.
16:28Are you serious?
16:29Yeah.
16:30I've got to tell you, I didn't peg them for no body incline.
16:33Yeah, where's your body tonight, then?
16:35Don't know.
16:36I haven't been seeing her any more.
16:38From now on, you're no good boy.
16:40Oh, that's a first.
16:42Dad, this place looks puckered.
16:44Are you sure we can't get the keys tonight?
16:46All in good time, boy.
16:47Now, give us that and I'll make sure Barney got it.
16:50Makes you the big room looking out the front.
16:52Well, I think your brother might have something to say about that.
16:55What does he need a big room for?
16:57It's not like he's going to be entertaining the local talent any time soon.
17:00And you learn nothing from what happened today.
17:03We aren't going to crash this gaff like some balls in a china shop, mate.
17:06This is our home.
17:08Our home.
17:09A safe home for all of us.
17:11So what we're going to do is proceed with moderation and respect.
17:15Got me?
17:16Good.
17:17But that don't mean we can't enjoy ourselves along the way.
17:20Throw a party.
17:22Introduce ourselves.
17:23Have some fun.
17:25Now, look at the people around here, boy.
17:27They could half do with it.
17:32Why did you ask me to meet you here tonight?
17:35I don't know.
17:36Yeah, you do.
17:40Everyone's pretty shaken up.
17:42Angry.
17:43At me.
17:44Especially Jean when she found out where I was retired.
17:49I lied.
17:53When I told you she knew I was giving you money.
17:57I'm sorry.
17:59I don't blame her for being angry.
18:02I expect she wants you to stop, doesn't she?
18:09Then you need to stop.
18:10Yeah, but I've been thinking, you know, I could still give you some.
18:13If I cut back on my hours, it wouldn't be as much, but...
18:15You need to stop, Harvey.
18:22I came looking for you because I was angry.
18:26And I don't feel angry anymore.
18:28And that's down to you.
18:31The kindness that you showed me and Abdul.
18:34That's worth more than any money.
18:36I don't pay them that.
18:37No, but...
18:41We're in a better place.
18:45And we will manage without your money.
18:47I've made it.
18:48You are not responsible for what your son did to Abdul.
18:53If I didn't see that before, I do now.
18:57Thank you. Thank you for all your help.
19:01I'll never forget it.
19:04Well, maybe I could swing by and see how you're getting on in a couple of weeks.
19:08I don't think that's a good idea.
19:12I think we just need to move on.
19:19Be kind to yourself, Harvey, yeah?
19:23I thought you might be getting hungry.
19:25Cheese and ham, OK?
19:27And I just checked up on Ms Fowler for you.
19:30She's doing OK.
19:32Really? Yeah.
19:33She seemed quite relaxed, which is good.
19:36Because I know I'm not the only one.
19:39I'm not the only one.
19:41I'm not the only one.
19:44I'm not the only one.
19:46I'm not the only one.
19:48I'm not the only one.
19:50Which is good.
19:52Because I know you were worried about the baby.
20:01Did she ask about me?
20:03No.
20:04But I'm sure she's as worried about you as you are about her.
20:08Even if she isn't saying so.
20:10But I suppose you can't blame her.
20:12She's got to look out for herself, first and foremost.
20:15Baby on the way.
20:17But let's get back to you, shall we?
20:19It would be great if you could take me through your movements
20:22on the night of July the 24th.
20:24Would that be all right?
20:28Are you OK, Mr Caldwell?
20:31Your movements?
20:33The night Debbie died?
20:35No, I went to Peggy's.
20:38It's a bar, Turpin Road.
20:40Yeah, I know it.
20:41And was it just you, or did Ms Fowler go with you?
20:44It was just me.
20:46I had a business meeting with Phil Mitchell and Sharon Watts.
20:52And then I stayed on for a drink after they left.
20:56The new manager, Penny, she can vouch I was there till at least...
21:01I don't know, till ten.
21:04We'll look into it.
21:09But then you'd be able to see where I was anyway, wouldn't you?
21:13From my phone.
21:17What was the reason behind your planned trip to Yorkshire?
21:20We were going to see my niece, Whitney.
21:23So that was your idea?
21:25Rhys actually wanted to get away.
21:27The rail ticket support using your credit card?
21:30So what? You know I didn't go because I wouldn't be sat here, would I?
21:33Are you actually going to earn your crust and do something?
21:36Do I have to keep answering all these questions?
21:38From York, it's just a quick cab ride to Hull.
21:41A ferry to Rotterdam.
21:43Much more low-key than an airport,
21:45if you were looking to leave the country without anyone knowing.
21:48I didn't kill her. I was at home, like I said.
21:51Did you talk to the estate agent yet?
21:53Yes, we did.
21:55We also spoke to some of your family and friends,
21:57but they couldn't provide an alibi to cover the whole time of death window.
22:01The estate agent also said that you agreed to put your house up for sale,
22:06but you took it off after Mrs Colwell's death.
22:10This joker's had me jumping through hoops to see my client.
22:14You, don't say another word.
22:16You, do one. You're sacked.
22:18I'm representing her now,
22:20and I need time alone with my client so as I can work out
22:23exactly how many shades of stupid you lot are.
22:30Here you are.
22:32Shaun.
22:34I talked to him, al fresco.
22:36It's boiling hot in our... inside.
22:49Jean.
22:52I know I'm upped up,
22:54but I need you to try and see it from my perspective.
22:59Cos I felt really strongly that helping Mile was the right thing to do.
23:02I know you did.
23:04But discussing it with me, your partner, would have been the right thing to do.
23:08You're right.
23:10And it won't happen again.
23:12I seen her tonight, and she knows she won't be getting any more money from me.
23:17And I can go back to work in normal hours.
23:19Spend more time with you.
23:29I don't think there is a me in you anymore, Hart.
23:32I don't think there is a me in you anymore, Harvey.
23:38I did what you said.
23:40I met her, and I stopped it.
23:43You lied to me.
23:46And I can't be with someone who lies.
23:50You're breaking up with me.
23:54I don't know.
23:57Alfie said that you can keep on his couch until Kat comes back off holiday.
24:05We'll talk about this tomorrow, yeah?
24:16Night, Harvey.
24:27Why did Phil send you?
24:29No idea. I'll just go where Ritchie tells me.
24:33And are you helping Rhys as well?
24:36No. And I wouldn't agree to that anyway.
24:39Not when there's a chance of conflicting interests.
24:42Why would there be a conflict?
24:44Well, if he actually did kill his wife for starters, do you think it's possible?
24:50No.
24:52Why did you hesitate?
24:53I didn't.
24:56Look.
24:59You need to be really honest with me.
25:02Because if he did hurt her, there's a chance he could throw you under the bus to save his own backside.
25:07Rhys wouldn't do that.
25:09In my experience, you never really know what a person is capable of until they're facing down 20 to life.
25:17Could he have murdered his wife?
25:22No.
25:24He loved her.
25:26He's innocent.
25:28We both are.
25:30Well.
25:32Let's hope you're right.
25:35No. No, you're not going somewhere.
25:39I don't know.
25:49We haven't managed to pin down Miss Branning.
25:52But your phone record suggests you were in the bar late into the night, as you said.
25:56So, in the light of this, the CPS don't believe there's sufficient evidence for a charge at this point,
26:00so we're releasing you on bail.
26:02That's good.
26:04Someone will drive you home.
26:06I'd rather wait for Sonia. Or is she already gone?
26:09It's unlikely Miss Fowler will be released this evening.
26:12But she's pregnant.
26:14You can't be right. You have to let her go.
26:16That won't be possible.
26:18I'll talk to the custody sergeant about that lift.
26:21Sonia didn't kill my mum. I know she didn't.
26:29Mr Colwell.
26:31Is there anything else you need to tell me?
26:34Something you haven't disclosed before now?
26:40I've told you everything.
26:52This ain't right.
26:54He's been gone too long.
26:56Don't worry. He's probably just finishing the last slice of pizza.
27:01Right.
27:03I've spoken to my client.
27:05And you've got nothing.
27:07It's a farce.
27:08You need to charge or release.
27:10I'm released too.
27:12Mr Colwell's already been discharged.
27:14Oh, thank God.
27:16So am I free to go now?
27:18We've got physical evidence linking you to the crime.
27:21You had a clear and pressing motive and you don't have an alibi.
27:25I've spoken to the CPS and they agree with me.
27:28We're going to charge you with the murder of Deborah Colwell.
