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