00:37Mr. Edward Halston.
00:40He prefers Bear.
00:42Lucy Haynes, Bear's appropriate adult.
00:45Darrell Griffith, duty solicitor.
00:48So, Bear, I'll be sitting in in your interview today,
00:51but you're also free to arrange your own representation too.
00:54You'll be pleased to know you passed your medical assessment
00:55and I've been deemed fit enough to answer questions today.
00:57Does that sound OK?
00:58Good morning.
01:00Bear, you slept well, I hope.
01:04It was me.
01:06I did it.
01:08I killed Ray.
01:10We still need to take you through questioning
01:12to ascertain the full facts.
01:14You understand?
01:15But he's my dad and he's not well.
01:17I really need to see him
01:18and I really need to talk to him privately.
01:20About?
01:21Privately.
01:22Do you want a dictionary?
01:23We don't tolerate abuse.
01:25Abuse?
01:25My dad's the victim of actual abuse
01:27and he's still locked up in here all night
01:29without being allowed to make a phone call.
01:30Not true.
01:31He was given the opportunity to make a call
01:32but he declined.
01:33What?
01:34He also has an appropriate adult in with him.
01:37Who?
01:37Lucy Haynes.
01:39His counsellor?
01:40Go home, Mr Dingle.
01:41Once the DS has done interviewing him,
01:43we'll be in touch.
01:44Paddy.
01:47I heard about Bear.
01:49Yeah, they won't let me see him.
01:52Doesn't he want to call me?
01:54Let him down, haven't I?
01:58This is my fault.
02:00Let's go home.
02:01You can tell me everything now.
02:10Right.
02:10That's all the kids washing done.
02:11I'm pretty sure there's a couple of pairs of your grundies in there.
02:14Not when I really think about that.
02:17Did you drop the kids off with Sam and Lydia?
02:19That would be, er...
02:21after I was up at five.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Clearing out the barns.
02:24On my own again.
02:25What do you want?
02:26A Pride of Britain award?
02:28No, just forget it.
02:30We're all run ragged here.
02:31I've got little man Tate
02:33trying to get your mum's half of the farm off us.
02:36You know, I could just do without your mood.
02:37Do you know what I mean?
02:39Morning, girl.
02:43Er, do you think I could just grab a minute with Ken?
02:46Yeah, he's all yours.
02:48Actually, you know, erm...
02:50Yeah, I might not be
02:51my usual cheeky chappy self right now,
02:53but I've got a mum in prison
02:54and it was a year ago this week.
02:58I lost, Amy.
03:00Just give me a break, yeah?
03:07Do not beat yourself up.
03:10You are going through
03:11the toughest time imaginable
03:13at the moment.
03:15Which is why I come bearing news.
03:20That'd be good.
03:25Bear confessed
03:26to killing Ray Walters
03:27yesterday.
03:30He's admitted that to the police?
03:31Apparently so.
03:34That's why I padded him
03:34and won't be talking to him
03:35while he was being so cagey.
03:37Do you think this could help Moira?
03:38Well, yeah, I mean...
03:40If he tells the police
03:41about the set-up on that farm,
03:42then this could get Moira off.
03:44Yeah, certainly possible.
03:46I'm going to see her later.
03:47I mean, this will give her a boost.
03:49And are you going to tell her
03:50what's going on with you?
03:52Well, she knows.
03:54The full extent
03:55of your diagnosis.
03:57I mean, she's your wife.
03:59She needs to know.
04:01It's like watching a horror film.
04:04I know we've watched enough of them,
04:06but seeing it for real,
04:10seeing the life
04:11being choked out
04:13of another human being,
04:16especially of somebody you love,
04:18I'm so sorry I wasn't there.
04:20I'm glad you weren't.
04:21It's not like it is in the films.
04:26I know
04:28I hated Ray for what he did to my dad,
04:30but
04:31he didn't deserve to have his life
04:33snuffed out like that.
04:35Well, that already makes you
04:36a better human than me.
04:38I'm not.
04:39What happened next was worse,
04:40and that's on me.
04:42How is any of this on you?
04:43Because I should have just
04:44rung the police,
04:45there and then,
04:46like any other human being.
04:48But Dylan was scared
04:50that we wouldn't be believed,
04:51that they'd think
04:52that we did it deliberately
04:54after what Ray had put my dad through.
04:56You can see his point.
04:57Honestly,
04:58it was genuinely
04:59an accident.
05:00my dad wasn't in his right mind.
05:02I came in the door
05:04and Ray were there.
05:06How did he get in?
05:07Why was he there,
05:08do you think?
05:09The door might have been open.
05:10I don't know.
05:11Maybe he were looking for Dylan.
05:14Okay.
05:15Go on.
05:17I was upset.
05:19I don't recall about what exactly.
05:22All I remember was
05:25just grabbing hold of him
05:28to try and stop him.
05:30To stop him?
05:31What was he doing?
05:32I can't remember.
05:36I just wanted him to stop,
05:39so I
05:40I was holding on to him
05:43and
05:44and
05:46and then he
05:49then he were dead.
05:51Do you need water?
05:57I
05:58I
05:59I didn't mean to do it.
06:00I
06:01I thought
06:01I thought he were my friend.
06:04Why would you say
06:05that you killed him
06:05if he was your friend?
06:07Because that's what happened.
06:08But you don't know why.
06:10You think
06:11you know yourself.
06:12You think
06:13you know your limits
06:14and
06:15you think
06:16you know your own humanity
06:17but
06:17you don't.
06:20Not really.
06:22Not till it comes down to it.
06:24Hey.
06:27You did what you did
06:28out of trauma
06:29and confusion
06:33but mostly out of love.
06:35And if that isn't a sign of your humanity
06:38I don't know what is.
06:45Thank you
06:46for
06:48just
06:49let me talk
06:51for listening to me without judging.
06:56It's been
06:56a very lonely
06:58place to be.
07:00Oh, buddy.
07:01Hey.
07:04It's been like living in hell.
07:11Ray Walters held you captive for months.
07:14They must have made you angry.
07:16Is that why you killed him?
07:18I don't know.
07:19Maybe.
07:20And just to be absolutely clear
07:22you're saying that you were alone
07:23when you killed him.
07:25Yes.
07:26So
07:28you acted alone
07:29and without any
07:29particular reason.
07:32There wasn't
07:33an argument
07:33or an altercation?
07:35No.
07:36He didn't
07:37attack you
07:38or threaten you?
07:39No, but it were
07:40noisy.
07:41There was one heck of a din
07:42going on.
07:43Lots of noise.
07:44Lots of shouting.
07:45OK, so there was
07:46an altercation.
07:48What else can you tell me?
07:50Well, I just
07:51I just wanted it all
07:52to end.
07:53I needed it
07:54to end.
07:54I mean,
07:55I couldn't
07:56I couldn't hear.
07:58You couldn't hear?
07:59No.
08:00You just said
08:02there was shouting.
08:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
08:04but I couldn't
08:05hear myself think
08:05because they were shouting.
08:07They?
08:09They were shouting?
08:12Didn't you just say
08:14that you were alone
08:14with Ray Walters
08:15when you killed him?
08:29Sit down.
08:38First on,
08:38I'd be able to get.
08:40They're all
08:40be as hot as you.
08:43How you doing,
08:44sweetheart?
08:45Any news?
08:48First up,
08:49um,
08:52Victoria's
08:52left the village.
08:53Probably feels guilty
08:54about selling to the Tex.
08:57I don't blame her
08:58for getting out.
08:59And Kim,
09:00she can smell blood
09:01from ten paces.
09:03So,
09:04no doubt
09:05she's already circling?
09:06She sent a little
09:07goblin round.
09:08Made a stupid offer
09:09for your half
09:10of the farm
09:10but I sent him packing.
09:12Am I a hero?
09:14Hardly.
09:16How are my boys?
09:18Kyle's quiet,
09:19it was Em's
09:20anniversary this week.
09:21Oh, God.
09:22Forgotten the anniversary.
09:26Are him and Matty
09:27OK?
09:28They will be.
09:29I'm taking us all out
09:30for a chippy tea later,
09:31so I'm not my sauce,
09:32Kyle.
09:33Oh, I so wish
09:34I could come.
09:36Will you tell them
09:37that I love them?
09:39And you?
09:42Are you sure there's
09:43nothing else
09:43from the hospital?
09:45You really don't need
09:46treatment or anything?
09:49It's just that
09:49almost sounds too good
09:51to be true.
10:00What are you looking at?
10:02Why are you looking at me?
10:03You've got a problem
10:05with me.
10:06Do you want to go?
10:07No, no.
10:09I was definitely,
10:12definitely alone.
10:13There were no one else there.
10:14There were just me
10:14and him.
10:15But you said
10:16they were all shouting.
10:18How many times
10:18there was a slip
10:19of the toe, woman?
10:24Sorry.
10:27How did you hurt
10:28your hand?
10:30It's nothing.
10:32OK.
10:34How did you come
10:34to have the keys
10:35of the Milligan depot van,
10:37the place where you say
10:38you left Ray's body?
10:42Doesn't Dylan Penders
10:44work at the depot?
10:46And he is currently
10:47living with your son
10:48Paddy and his wife Mandy
10:50in the same house
10:51where you say
10:52you murdered Ray Walters.
10:54Dylan weren't there
10:55when it happened
10:55and neither were Paddy.
10:57Mandy were an island.
10:59I stole the van keys
11:01from Dylan's bedroom.
11:04You stole the keys.
11:06I'm tired now.
11:08Can I go?
11:09You're doing really well.
11:11Perhaps it's time
11:11for a break.
11:12We will be giving
11:13Mr. Howson a break shortly.
11:15Bear.
11:16Where was Dylan Penders
11:18and your son Paddy
11:19at the time of the murder?
11:20I told you I don't know.
11:22Look, I've told them
11:23all that I told you.
11:24And you've shown
11:24incredible courage
11:25in doing so.
11:26Well, lock me up then
11:27and get on with it.
11:27I need to know
11:28who helped you.
11:30Was it Dylan?
11:32Or your son?
11:33Or was it both?
11:47Oh, smashing bit
11:48of Vicky Sponge, that.
11:49Well, you made short work of it.
11:51Yeah, I never got lucky.
11:53Piggington's.
11:55Hey, how are you doing?
11:57The news of Bear
11:57killing Ray
11:58can't have come easy to you.
11:59Yeah, well,
12:00I suppose I'm still
12:00in shock a bit,
12:01if I'm honest, Lydia,
12:02when I imagine
12:03what Bear must have
12:04been put through
12:05for him to do that.
12:06And all I know
12:07does,
12:07step, practically.
12:08All those people's lives
12:10are destroyed.
12:11Yeah, it's truly horrific.
12:13All of it.
12:15How's Moira doing?
12:17Our Cain's going
12:18to see her today.
12:19And we've got the kids.
12:20They're outside playing.
12:21Cain's quiet.
12:22He's dealing
12:23with his mum's anniversary.
12:24Oh, poor boy.
12:26And with Moira in prison.
12:27Cain's hoping
12:28the news about Bear
12:29might help get her out,
12:30but I can't see how.
12:32Well, let's just hope
12:32things get better
12:33for everyone.
12:38Give it back.
12:39No, mate.
12:40I'm when there's tables
12:41waiting on service.
12:42I mean, nice phone,
12:43by the way.
12:43Yeah, hand it over.
12:44Did you not hear
12:45what I said?
12:46You know,
12:46you can sink
12:47your poxie job.
12:48Er, Arthur.
12:49Arthur.
12:52What is the matter
12:53with him?
12:54He's been like this
12:55for weeks.
12:58I was like you.
13:00Living in this
13:02alternate universe.
13:03Village life
13:04going on outside
13:04but inside.
13:06You didn't cover a murder
13:06up, though, did you?
13:07No, but I could have done.
13:09Because I get
13:10what it's like
13:10when you're that desperate
13:10you'll do anything.
13:11Anything.
13:13But none of this
13:14is us, Paddy.
13:15None of this
13:15is who we are.
13:16Isn't it?
13:18After all the mess
13:20and the devastation
13:21and the upset
13:23to realise
13:24it's all been for nothing
13:25that the one thing
13:26I feared the most
13:27my dad going to prison
13:28probably me and Dylan too
13:30that's going to happen.
13:32No, no.
13:33You don't know that.
13:33Your dad will keep you
13:34out of it.
13:36So fragile mentally.
13:38The police will get it
13:39out of him
13:39one way or another.
13:41Right, but
13:42Bear was
13:43Ray and Celia's victim,
13:44OK?
13:44The police must have
13:46some sympathy for that,
13:47surely.
13:47I mean, look
13:47at the exonerated April
13:49with the drug dealing.
13:49They didn't know
13:50how evil these people were.
13:51But a man died
13:53when his body was moved
13:54and the police need
13:55someone to pay for that.
13:57Right, yeah, listen to me.
13:58OK, just listen.
13:58There is still a good chance
13:59the police will believe
14:00that your dad acted alone
14:02and in self-defence
14:03and they'll release him.
14:04All of this could soon be over.
14:06So let's just take it
14:07one step at a time
14:08and hold on to hope.
14:13Yeah, her name's Angela.
14:14Angela, she's a fruit loop.
14:17I mean, she thinks
14:17she's top dog, but
14:18don't worry.
14:20It doesn't scare me.
14:23Are you OK?
14:26No.
14:28You're not.
14:29Please don't tell me.
14:31More bad news?
14:34Actually, there's
14:35potentially some good news.
14:37Really?
14:40Bear admitted
14:41to killing Ray.
14:42Handed himself
14:43into the police yesterday.
14:45Bear killed Ray.
14:46You do realise
14:47this could change everything?
14:49How?
14:50What, if he tells the police
14:51about the set-up on the farm,
14:52this could get you off.
14:54Yeah, but the bodies on the land,
14:56all those IDs,
14:58I mean, it's all pretty damning.
14:59Maybe he knows about
15:00their plot to set you up
15:02or maybe he has some evidence.
15:04I've spoke to a solicitor
15:06about it and they seem hopeful.
15:07So we just have to sit tight.
15:11Hey.
15:14This is more than we had
15:15this time yesterday,
15:16isn't it?
15:17It is.
15:18And who knows?
15:20Maybe I'll be out
15:21sooner than we think.
15:23All I know is this.
15:24I killed a man.
15:25There's no one else involved.
15:26She'll just flip and charge me
15:27and get a move on.
15:28Where?
15:28So that break.
15:30Let's change the subject
15:31for a bit,
15:32give ourselves a breather.
15:33Then we can all take a break.
15:36Moira Dingle,
15:38how does she fit into
15:39the operations
15:40with Ray Wartles
15:41and Celia Daniels?
15:42She didn't.
15:44But you knew
15:44she had business dealings
15:46with them?
15:46No.
15:47Two bodies were found
15:48on Moira Dingle's land.
15:50Anya, Berisha
15:51and Celia Daniels.
15:54Do you know
15:55who killed them?
15:56Anya died of an illness.
15:59Moira had no to do with it.
16:00She weren't even there.
16:01I said as much to Cain
16:02when he came round
16:03to ask me to talk
16:04to you lot about it.
16:05Er,
16:06you've spoken to Cain Dingle?
16:08He had words.
16:09To pressure you
16:10into talking to the police?
16:11Not what I said.
16:12But that's what he wanted.
16:14For you to speak up
16:16for Moira.
16:18If she was innocent,
16:19why would he do that?
16:20Because she is innocent.
16:22You're barking
16:22at the wrong bush.
16:23There's only one
16:24guilty person here.
16:25Me.
16:26Not her.
16:40Arthur?
16:41Where's my passport?
16:42What are you doing?
16:43Well,
16:44I want to go see Grandad
16:45in Australia.
16:45What?
16:46Because you had a spat
16:47with Gabby?
16:47No.
16:48It's because I don't know
16:49what's here for me anymore, Mum.
16:51I mean,
16:51all my mates have gone to uni
16:52and I'm just stuck here
16:53waiting tables.
16:54I did say
16:55that I would support you
16:56if you wanted to go to uni
16:57and you said no.
16:58Well, yeah,
16:59because I don't want to end up
16:59with 50 grand worth of debt
17:01in three years' time.
17:02Yeah, I know,
17:02but still,
17:03Australia,
17:04the flights alone
17:05are outrageous.
17:07I've got money.
17:09Where from?
17:12I noticed that you had new trainers
17:14and Gabby said
17:15you've got a new phone.
17:16So what's going on?
17:17You don't need to know.
17:18I'm going anywhere.
17:30What have you done?
17:32I feel so much better
17:33for seeing you.
17:35We're going to get you out of here
17:37and we're going to get
17:37the rest of your farm back in.
17:38And we're going to get through
17:39this cancer of yours.
17:43It's not going to know
17:43what's hit it.
17:48Right.
17:50Keep holding on.
17:51Yeah.
17:52You too.
17:53Stay out of trouble.
17:54Me?
17:55Be of yourself.
18:00I love you.
18:05I love you too.
18:14Keaton.
18:17Promise me you're
18:18definitely okay.
18:20You don't look okay.
18:22Well.
18:27There must be
18:28three, four grand here, Arthur.
18:31Where did you get it?
18:32Wages and tips from work.
18:33Oh, come on.
18:35People are nice,
18:35but they're not that nice.
18:36So I'm going to ask you again.
18:38Where did you get it?
18:41Arthur.
18:42All right.
18:42He was in Ray's bag
18:43with his drugs.
18:44The drugs I got rid of?
18:46Why didn't you tell me?
18:48Well, because I knew
18:48you'd get rid of them as well.
18:49Oh, my God.
18:50Just when I thought
18:50this nightmare was over.
18:52Mum, it's free money.
18:53It is not free money.
18:54It is drug money.
18:56Did you honestly think
18:57you could keep this?
18:58Don't do anything stupid.
19:00Oh, and spending money
19:01from a known criminal isn't.
19:02I mean, you brought him
19:03into this house
19:04so if anyone's stupid,
19:05it's you.
19:06What did you say?
19:07What are you going to do, Mum?
19:08Hit me again?
19:10You know, imagine
19:10if people knew
19:11what you were really like.
19:12Get out of my sight.
19:24If Bear had said anything,
19:25you'd know about it by now.
19:26Yeah, they've not let him
19:27out yet, though, have they?
19:28Hey, any word on your dad?
19:31No, no.
19:32Thanks for letting us
19:33use your house yesterday.
19:34No problem, mate.
19:36I'm praying for him.
19:37And you, all of you.
19:40If you knew the truth,
19:41though, would you?
19:48That's my home.
19:52Sorry, but I can't
19:53allow you in there.
19:54It's now being searched
19:55and treated as a crime scene.
19:56How long are you going to be?
19:57Not sure.
19:59But we'll gather you
19:59an overnight bag
20:00and keep you fully informed.
20:03You and Dylan
20:04can stay out of us.
20:06Come on.
20:10This is it, isn't it?
20:13It's really happened.
20:15Sounds very much like
20:16Cain Dingle went out of his way
20:17to pay you that visit.
20:18Well, he lives up the road.
20:20I meant metaphorically.
20:22How did he seem?
20:24I don't know.
20:24Was he angry?
20:25I don't know.
20:27You can answer no comment.
20:29What did he want you to say?
20:31No comment.
20:32OK.
20:33You said earlier
20:34to help clear Moira's name.
20:37Except you didn't.
20:39Why was that?
20:40Look, I told you.
20:40I don't know.
20:42Can I see me something now?
20:44I'll stay as long as you need.
20:46Was it because
20:46Moira Dingle was involved
20:48in the killing of Ray Walters?
20:50You're just not listening!
20:51I've listened to a lot today.
20:53You say you killed Ray Walters,
20:55which is possible,
20:56but you haven't given a reason.
20:57And considering your physical condition,
21:00it's highly unlikely
21:01that you could have moved
21:02a body on your own.
21:03So,
21:04I'm left wondering
21:05who helped you.
21:07You say it wasn't
21:08Dylan Penders
21:09or your son,
21:09Paddy Dingle.
21:10Was it Moira Dingle?
21:12Oh.
21:13We know that you were helped.
21:19I want
21:20to see
21:21my son.
21:23We'll talk more tomorrow.
21:26interview suspended
21:27at 15.15.
21:35We will get to the truth
21:36of this, Bear,
21:37so it is in your interest
21:38to cooperate.
