00:31How long are you going to keep me here?
00:34How long?!
00:35How long?!
00:56Look, I know you're scared.
00:57Okay, yes, they got to Sharon, but that does not mean they're going to get to you.
01:02Okay, the judge has delayed things. There is still time.
01:06But you need to get to court this afternoon.
01:08Please, Mum.
01:25She did herself no favours.
01:27Who loses their rag like that, contempt of court?
01:31You can't let them get under your skin, I told you that.
01:34I'm talking from experience.
01:39Just give me a minute.
01:43What do we think?
01:45Ryan sent it.
01:47Very cute.
01:48Why haven't you opened it? It ain't her birthday till tomorrow.
01:51Yeah, but it's her party today.
01:53Like you ever remember.
01:55Oh, Lil, I know it was manic with the court and everything yesterday,
01:58but I've been making cakes all morning.
02:00Do you know what the smell is?
02:03No, surely not.
02:06Oh.
02:08No.
02:11I can buy some more.
02:12Forget it.
02:14They're burnt.
02:15What you don't say.
02:20Hang on.
02:22You heard anything?
02:24No, I haven't.
02:26Look, we need you on the case and all.
02:28Well, you know, call her, text her, come out here, look him.
02:31I don't think she could blow this for us.
02:35No one's seen her.
02:37Probably drunk in a ditch somewhere.
02:39Yeah, and with Sharon still in custody.
02:41I mean, this is a mess, Cathy.
02:43I thought she'd be released by now.
02:45What, contempt of court?
02:47The judge can detain her for as long as he wants.
02:49What, prison? No, come on, she's got a child.
02:51All right.
02:52Hey.
02:53Where are you going?
02:54Could do with some help wrapping this.
02:56It's Charlie's birthday party.
02:58The rumour has it the karaoke's coming out.
03:00Oh, for a one-year-old?
03:01Yeah, which is a slate at the start. I'm young.
03:03So we might want to decide what duet we're doing now,
03:06because we will be getting dragged off.
03:08Yeah, um, Zing...
03:10No, no, you sign. You go.
03:12No, no, this is more important.
03:13More important than a family birthday party?
03:16Go on, I'd like to hear it.
03:18Well, I told you, Linda's gone missing.
03:20Yeah, I know. I just don't know why it's your problem.
03:23She's a friend, Eve.
03:25I'm worried.
03:27I got it. Priorities.
03:32Look, it's just quicker if we split up.
03:35Yeah, I'll call Denise.
03:41Right, have you heard anything?
03:43No.
03:45She ain't picking up for me either.
03:47We'll keep trying, all right?
03:49We can't let her mess this up.
03:56Ooh, you all right?
03:59I know life ain't all about looking good, Dee,
04:01but you might want to put a bit of lipstick on
04:03when you come downstairs, you know?
04:05A bit of blusher or something, you know?
04:09Look, I know this Amy thing is huge, yeah?
04:12And life might seem a little bit bleak right now,
04:16but just be glad you're not in Sharon's shoes.
04:19How come? What do you mean?
04:21Big-time jail time, rude girl.
04:23I've been there, haven't I?
04:25Contempt of court. Trust me.
04:27They could slam her inside there for weeks,
04:30and there is no way she's going to keep on top of those gone moods.
04:33I knew they were going to hold her overnight, but...
04:36Prison?
04:37Could you imagine her and Penny sharing the same cell?
04:40And squeezing in with Sonia?
04:42Mate.
04:44Is this a joke to you?
04:46All right, I was just trying to lighten the mood.
04:48Miserable.
04:54Richard, yeah, I'm on my way down to the station now.
04:57Now, I don't want any excuses, all right?
04:59I just want to see Sharon out.
05:01It's what I pay you for.
05:03Now, call me when you see me, all right?
05:05Any sign of her?
05:07No, tried the bar on the Roman Road she likes.
05:09Called her recovery coordinator as well.
05:11And she knows the trial's delayed or something?
05:13Yeah, I've left a ton of messages.
05:15Well, we're running out of time.
05:17Yeah, well, I just don't know what else I can do.
05:19No, I'm sorry.
05:20Annie and Ollie are worried sick.
05:22Haven't slept last night, eh?
05:23The kids?
05:25Where are they?
05:26At my grandma's.
05:28Just give me a phone, I've got an idea.
05:53PHONE VIBRATES
06:04Johnny, Johnny, pick up!
06:16Yeah, I know.
06:18I know I'm a terrible mum and I've let you down.
06:21I've spent the whole morning looking for push cupcakes
06:24and all I found was a chocolate hedgehog with a squashed face.
06:28It's fine.
06:31Spoke to Freddie, didn't I?
06:33Oh, yeah, I'm basically her guru now.
06:36I know.
06:39I don't know why you're so fussed with this trial anyway.
06:42And it's not just today.
06:44Look, Charlie, she's so great.
06:46And I couldn't have got through this year without your help.
06:49Come.
06:52I just want everyone that loves her in the same room.
06:57Can we go and party now?
06:59Of course we can.
07:00Yeah?
07:01Come on.
07:02MUSIC PLAYS
07:18There you are.
07:19You all right?
07:20Yeah, yeah.
07:22I just love you lot.
07:24Here, where's Suki? I've got you two down to do end of slav.
07:27Oh, apparently she had something better to do
07:29so you can put me down for that 1980 classic, Love Stinks.
07:32MUSIC CONTINUES
07:39Kev, I can't do this right now.
07:43Phil's done what?
07:49Ritchie pulled some strings.
07:51I don't have long.
07:52You seen the judge?
07:54You're sentenced, Meade, for 17th.
07:57You're having a laugh, aren't you?
07:59He wants to make an example of me.
08:01How do I even begin to explain this to Albie?
08:04Listen, I'll talk to him, all right?
08:06He'll be fine.
08:08So will you.
08:10I thought you might get banged up, so I grabbed you this.
08:13Oh.
08:17Just keep your head down and don't let anyone push you around, all right?
08:20And just think about what you're coming out to, Albie.
08:23What's going to happen, Phil?
08:25I can do seven days in here,
08:27but if they keep blaming me, thinking I'm his murderer...
08:30That ain't going to happen, all right?
08:32Linda's given her statement today,
08:34and Dean's going to go down with this.
08:37You found her?
08:39Yeah, I think so, yeah.
08:41What have you done?
08:47Floor two.
08:56Help me. Help me, please.
08:58My kids are in here. Annie and Ollie Carter.
09:00Try a reception.
09:02Linda.
09:04Oh, there's been an accident. A car crash.
09:06No, Ollie and Annie are fine.
09:08No, no. Johnny messaged me. No, they're fine.
09:10It was Phil on Johnny's phone.
09:13He made it all up.
09:15We needed to speak to you.
09:19You used my kids?
09:21I thought they could be dead.
09:23Linda, Linda, our future is on the line here.
09:26There's still time. We just have to get to the court now.
09:28No. All right?
09:30They will take one look at me and know that I'm guilty.
09:32No one even suspects you.
09:34Yeah, but they will, as soon as I start mumbling
09:36and forgetting things and saying it all wrong.
09:38Have you been drinking?
09:40No.
09:42But I wanted to.
09:44Look, I'm... I'm sorry, all right?
09:46But I really don't think I can do this.
09:48No, don't you want Dean behind bars?
09:50Where he belongs.
09:52Sharon is so much stronger than me.
09:54Linda, what did you do when you thought your kids were in here?
09:57You dropped everything to protect them, didn't you?
10:00That is why you need to do this.
10:02Not for you, not for us, but for them.
10:05You are going to stand in that court
10:07and you are going to stick to your statement.
10:09In a few hours, this will all be over.
10:11You'll be home, safely, with your kids.
10:13That's what you want, innit?
10:23PHONE RINGS
10:25Yeah, I'm on my way.
10:27Oh, please, don't go.
10:29What did you say to her?
10:30She just wants to see her sister, Jack.
10:32What, sell her another pack of lies?
10:34It ain't happening.
10:36Fine by me.
10:46Cheers.
10:48I just feel awful.
11:02I'd like to call Linda Carter.
11:08Linda Carter?
11:22Yeah.
11:41I, Linda Bernadette Carter...
11:48Kenny's a friend and I just feel bad for her, that's all.
11:51Just a few days ago, she was...
11:54the cow that robbed you out of a job.
11:56Yeah, well, the crush of Peggy, isn't it?
11:59The crush. Yeah, I know.
12:01It's, er...
12:03shaking you up a bit. Yeah.
12:08I don't know, it's just...
12:11the way you were yesterday...
12:13with that nurse.
12:15You were giving her a really, really hard time
12:18about people you don't know.
12:20I know.
12:26I know when you're lying about something.
12:31I can't do this right now, Mum, OK?
12:33Chelsea, Chelsea.
12:37Listen...
12:39I know you've done some dodgy things now and again,
12:42but, you know,
12:44you always, always do right by people.
12:48Jordan?
12:50Such a polite little boy.
12:55Is there something you're not letting on about?
12:59Hmm?
13:01Are you and Penny in this together?
13:08Was this you?
13:11It was him.
13:13It was dark. How could you be so sure?
13:17I've known Dean for years.
13:19He's my brother-in-law.
13:22I'd recognise him anywhere.
13:24Take us through it, then.
13:26Step by step.
13:29We were all in the pub.
13:31Nish Panisar was on the floor.
13:35We were all in the pub.
13:37Nish Panisar was on the floor.
13:40We thought he was going to die.
13:43It all got too much and I went outside for some air.
13:48When I looked down the road, I saw him there,
13:51dragging something heavy towards the cafe.
13:56Can you describe the item he was dragging?
14:01It looked like something wrapped in a tarpaulin.
14:05He was having to strain like it was really heavy.
14:11Did that strike you as odd?
14:14I suppose.
14:16I just thought he was dumping building materials or something.
14:20I didn't give it much thought
14:23until I heard about Keanu.
14:31No further questions, Your Honour.
14:34Ms Carter.
14:36You said you were certain.
14:39You saw my client on the evening of the 25th.
14:44How certain were you?
14:47Very certain. 100%.
14:50And when the deceased's body was discovered,
14:53I believe you gave a statement about it.
14:57Yes, I did.
14:59And when the deceased's body was discovered,
15:02I believe you gave a statement to the police telling them so.
15:06Yes.
15:08But you gave a statement to the police much earlier than that, didn't you?
15:15Yes.
15:17And when was that?
15:21Simple question.
15:23When did you first give a statement to the police
15:27in the absence of Christmas night?
15:31It was that same night, I think.
15:34And on that night, did you mention what you saw?
15:37A man supposedly dragging what you thought was a dead body across the street.
15:42Did you mention that to the police?
15:46No.
15:48So if you were 100% certain about what you saw,
15:54why didn't you mention it at that time?
15:57I just...
15:59I just didn't think it was any of my business.
16:02And you don't talk to the police unless you have to, do you?
16:07Sorry, that's just how I was brought up.
16:11You don't talk to the police even when you see a man dragging a body?
16:16I didn't know it was a body.
16:19So you weren't certain?
16:22Were you, Miss Carter?
16:25I'm certain it was him.
16:28I'm certain he was dragging something.
16:31And as soon as I knew there was a murder investigation,
16:34I did exactly what I was supposed to do,
16:37and I reported it, Your Honour.
16:44Tell me, Miss Carter.
16:47Do you like a drink?
16:53I hate lying.
16:58I never meant for anyone to get hurt.
17:01You have to believe that.
17:03Of course.
17:06It wasn't about the money or anything.
17:10I just...
17:13I just wanted to stick it to Penny because she stole my job.
17:19She stole my job.
17:24I made a few more tickets available just to give her a manic night.
17:30I never for one second thought that it would end like this.
17:34But why haven't you owned up?
17:38I'm scared.
17:41And it's pathetic.
17:43I know, but it's just one moment, isn't it?
17:47Just one split-second lie, then you can't ever come clean.
17:54I've got Jordan.
17:59Mum, please.
18:01I know you would do the same.
18:03Lie for the sake of your kids. I know you would.
18:06Whatever you've done, no matter how bad...
18:18Yeah, I've got to go.
18:22It's...
18:24It's complicated.
18:27Mum.
18:31I disgust you, don't I?
18:33No, darling.
18:37I'm scared for you.
18:48Everyone likes a drink on Christmas Day, don't they?
18:52And it was your best friend's wedding.
18:54A wedding that spectacularly fell apart.
18:58Surely someone like you would reach straight for the bottle when that happened.
19:03Your Honour, he is badgering the witness.
19:06Where are you going with this?
19:08It's a simple question.
19:10Is Miss Carter the sort of woman who...
19:15..slips a little vodka into her morning coffee?
19:19Does she have a sly white wine to steady the nerves?
19:23When she claimed she saw my client on Bridge Street,
19:27was she hideously and embarrassingly drunk?
19:45My name is Linda Carter.
19:48And I'm an alcoholic.
19:52I've struggled with addiction for some years now.
20:00I lost my husband.
20:05And that didn't help.
20:08But I did not have a drink on Christmas Day.
20:15I was tempted.
20:17Of course I was.
20:20But I have a great set of friends
20:23and a loving family who...
20:26..all helped me resist that temptation.
20:30Have you drunk since then?
20:33I have.
20:36I'll admit that.
20:40Life...
20:43..has been quite tough for me.
20:47But I am sober now.
20:49I have been for weeks.
20:52And most importantly,
20:54I was sober on Christmas Day.
20:57And I know exactly what I saw.
21:00He dragged a body across the street
21:05and dumped it in the caff.
21:15Are we done?
21:21Are we done?
21:23Are we done?
21:30Yes.
21:32No further questions, Your Honour.
21:34We will now take a short recess.
21:51Are you good?
21:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:55Grandma just messaged. Mum gave a statement.
21:57She did a great job, apparently.
22:00Oh, that's great news.
22:02I think this is it.
22:04It's finally over.
22:06Can't you see what they're doing?
22:08Lie after lie, backing each other up.
22:10We haven't lost this yet.
22:11You can see the jury, can't you? They're all on her side.
22:14We managed to discredit Sharon Watts.
22:16Yeah, but you let Linda run rings around you.
22:18She was off her face that night. I saw her drinking.
22:21You tell the jury that you're sneaking around her house.
22:24Why not? They're sat in there framing me for murder
22:26and you're letting them get away with it.
22:27There is no evidence to support that, Clay.
22:31And their motive for doing so, it, um...
22:34Well, it paints you in an unfavourable light.
22:39Who cares about motive?
22:40They haven't got one to kill Keanu, but it doesn't seem to matter, does it?
22:44We're back on.
22:48You need the jury on your side.
22:50Those allegations aren't going to help. Just...
22:53control your temper.
22:55Let me handle this.
22:58I've been doing that.
23:00And it looks like I'm going to get a life sentence for a crime I didn't commit.
23:21Guilty as sin. It's written all over his face.
23:25You OK?
23:29Do you want to go back in?
23:32Yeah.
23:36I am so proud of you.
23:42At best, the evidence in this case is circumstantial.
23:47There's no motive.
23:48No history of violence between them.
23:51And the lead investigator on this case, DCI Arthurs,
23:56admitted the motivation for this murder was very thin. His words.
24:01If I may, Your Honour, is there a question here?
24:05Hurry it along, if you will.
24:07It is a very simple question.
24:11Did you have any reason to harm Mr Taylor?
24:14No.
24:15Did you drag his body down Bridge Street on the night of the 25th?
24:20No.
24:22Did you kill Mr Taylor?
24:24Absolutely not.
24:27No further questions, Your Honour.
24:32Mr Wicks.
24:34We heard from Miss Stacey Slater that you and the deceased
24:39crossed words outside her BAP van.
24:41Is that true?
24:43Yeah, but...
24:44Yes is fine. Thank you.
24:47We also heard from Miss Sharon Watts that you crossed words with the deceased
24:51inside the Queen Victoria pub.
24:53You said,
24:55you've got trouble with me now.
24:57Or words to that effect.
25:00Is that true?
25:01It wasn't a proper threat.
25:03Did you say it?
25:06Yes.
25:07Did you say it?
25:09Yes.
25:11And we also heard from Miss Linda Carter that you were seen dragging a heavy item
25:15into Bridge Street Cafe, Bridge Street E20,
25:19on the night of the 25th of December, 2023.
25:25Is that true?
25:26No.
25:28She seemed quite certain, didn't she?
25:30I guess.
25:32How long have you known Miss Carter?
25:36I don't know, ten years, maybe more.
25:38So you know her quite well, then?
25:40What's that matter?
25:41Could you recognise her on the street at night?
25:45About the same distance that we are from each other right now,
25:49could you tell that it was her?
25:52Maybe.
25:53And could she recognise you?
25:55I wasn't there.
25:57I didn't kill him.
25:59That isn't what I'm asking.
26:01No, but it's what you're implying. I didn't do it.
26:03Simple question.
26:05Do you think that she could recognise you from a distance?
26:11No.
26:13Really?
26:14But you could recognise her?
26:19I don't know. Yes, then.
26:21But it doesn't matter, does it?
26:23Because this whole thing is made up.
26:25Her mate Sharon dragged that body across the street because she's the one that killed him.
26:29Do you have evidence of this?
26:31It's obvious, isn't it? She hated him.
26:32But do you have proof?
26:34Your Honour, please.
26:36I'll allow this line of questioning.
26:39She killed him and they're trying to frame me for it.
26:42We have a witness placing you at the scene, dragging a heavy item wrapped in tarpaulin.
26:48She's lying.
26:49Then why do we have several witnesses who saw you threatening the deceased?
26:53Because they're all in it together.
26:54Then why was the murder weapon found inside your flat?
26:57They must have put it there because...
27:05They must have put it there...
27:09...because I raped her.
27:14Denied it for years.
27:16Driven her nuts.
27:17But that is what this is about.
27:19This is her taking her revenge.
27:21There will be silence in this court.
27:25So, yeah.
27:26I did it. I raped her.
27:28Send me down for that.
27:29So, yeah.
27:30I did it. I raped her.
