00:32You can both stay another night if you need to.
00:34No, Mandy's back from Ireland later.
00:36Can't really squeeze another one in.
00:38We'll make it work.
00:39How do you think she'll react?
00:41Rowan understood when we told her.
00:43Mandy's just as tough, she'll handle it.
00:45She thought my dad can handle it as well.
00:49What's happening over there?
00:50I don't know.
00:53Everything okay with you?
00:55Yeah.
00:56Well, I mean, Isaac was supposed to be on a trip with Holiday Club today,
00:59but Cain forgot to pay, so now we can't go,
01:01but, you know, somehow it's all my fault.
01:08Is Paddy in work today?
01:11Jimmy, if you've got something you want to ask me, just ask it.
01:14Well, I was just wondering if you'd heard anything about the search
01:17or bear confessing.
01:20Nicola has rubbed off on you way too much.
01:22Oh, God, I know.
01:23But if I don't ask, she'll have a go at me for not asking,
01:26and frankly, I'd rather annoy you than her.
01:28Tell Nicola the world's better off without scum like Ray.
01:31And if Bear hadn't done it, someone else would have.
01:36Oh.
01:37I'm so sorry, my card...
01:39I'll pay.
01:40No, no, no, thank you.
01:41I will pop back with some cash in a bit.
01:47An Americana, please.
01:49Park your bum, I'll bring you over.
01:53Those are some harsh words about Ray.
01:55I meant every single one.
01:59And helping Rona,
02:00it's just a bonus.
02:04Mr Dingle?
02:06I've just had a call.
02:07Your father's insisting you be his appropriate adult today.
02:10Oh, my little salon.
02:12It's so lovely to be back.
02:14That's my house.
02:15Will you get my bags?
02:17Oh, dear.
02:19Dad?
02:20Mandy, I'm so sorry.
02:21This must be such a shock.
02:22I've got to go and see my dad.
02:23Your dad?
02:24What's happened?
02:25Mr Dingle, now, please.
02:27They'll explain everything.
02:28What, everything?
02:29Just go back.
02:30What's going on?
02:46You won't find the money.
02:48I wasn't looking for it.
02:50Right.
02:51I was going to take you out for brunch.
02:53To apologise for yesterday.
02:55I didn't recognise you, love.
02:56But then saying that, I don't recognise myself.
02:59And that's what Ray and that money has done to us.
03:01Yeah.
03:02But we could take the one bad thing Ray left behind and make it into something good.
03:06But you still want to use it?
03:08What, Mum?
03:08All my mates are out there.
03:09You know, doing new things, travelling loads.
03:11And I'm stuck here with no options.
03:13But it's not our money.
03:15Mum, please.
03:16Just think about it.
03:16You want me to be happy.
03:18Yeah?
03:18Got it.
03:19Look at what I've got.
03:24OK.
03:33Oh, OK.
03:34Look at that thing.
03:42Oh, God.
03:42Oh, God.
03:43Oh, God.
03:44Oh, God!
03:47Oh, God!
03:47Oh, God!
03:48Oh, God!
03:48How's Mandy?
03:52She's not good
03:54So listen, are we the only ones that know?
03:59I'm just so angry. Please don't take it out on him and Paddy. No, no. I'm not angry at them
04:04I'm angry at you know with Ray and his low-life mother, you know, what they've done to you, you
04:09know
04:10and you
04:12After everything you've been through and now this, it's just, it's evil
04:17I tell you what, if I'd have been here, I'd have beaten Bear to it
04:20We all felt like that, but now I just need to focus on getting him out
04:25Well Paddy's gonna help him in here and make sure Bear sticks to the story, won't he?
04:30I felt like, you know, Paddy and stress, it doesn't end well
04:38I'm so worried about you. Why did you do it? What's changed?
04:46For me, I changed
04:51When I talked to that counselling lass, I began to see things differently
04:56and that if I carried on lying, then I'd be no better than him
05:03Have you been?
05:06Well, I haven't been trying to stick to the story, but they keep asking me how I managed to do
05:11it all by my scent
05:12And then they started asking me about Moira
05:17And I'm sure I've, I'm sure, I'm sure I've made things worse
05:25Dad, I can't let you do this on your own anymore
05:30I'm gonna tell him about being there
05:32And then I can back up my self-defence claim
05:34No, no, that's not why I asked you to come
05:37You see, I only need you to be with me
05:41So that if I get confused again, you can help
05:45You being by my side
05:48Gives me strength
05:50Okay?
05:55Miss Adams
05:56Mr Dingle, nice to put a face to the voice
05:59Oh yeah, Dad, this is Ora Adams
06:00She's a solicitor
06:01She specialises in cases like this
06:04So, Mr Howelson, having read your file
06:06I think we've got a good shot at getting you released
06:09But is there anything the police don't know yet?
06:11No
06:13What you read, that's all there is
06:19That's us done
06:21We appreciate your cooperation, Mrs Dingle
06:23Well, if it's a mess, I'll be charging you for a deep clean
06:27Right, well
06:28Listen, sweetheart, go inside, I will be safe
06:32No, not really
06:35Look, I'm sorry I didn't say all about, you know, Bear getting arrested
06:38Cos Paddy said, don't say anything
06:39And I said, we don't keep secrets anymore, do we?
06:42No, no, we don't
06:42But listen, I think he was just a bit worried, that's all
06:46Do you mind if we have a chat later?
06:48It's just, Dylan's struggling a bit
06:50Yeah, yeah, sure
06:51Well, if you need anything, just text me, yeah
06:53And tell Dylan, same
06:55Oh, I will
07:08Do you see Chen?
07:09Is Kane Dingle about?
07:11No, he's not in at the minute
07:12I'll try again later
07:13Actually, I wanted an update with Bear's confession
07:16Has that changed things for my mum then?
07:18His confession has nothing to do with your mum's charges
07:21I mean, she's innocent
07:23She's innocent
07:24Are you not even asking the right questions?
07:26Mr Barton, I get you're frustrated
07:28But you don't want to end up like Kane Dingle
07:30What do you mean?
07:31Well, his frustration spilled over with Mr Howerson the other day
07:34And it could be seen as intimidation
07:37That's what I needed a word about
07:39So you might want to tell him this
07:41If he crosses that line again, it won't be a quiet word
07:45There'll be a formal warning
07:52Sir Ray Walters was already in the house when you entered?
07:56Yes
07:57And there was no one else there?
08:01Because yesterday you said they
08:05No, just me, like I said
08:08So how do you think you got in?
08:10I mean, there was no sign of a break-in
08:16Well, they only used the key that we keep in the plant pot
08:19Oh, aye
08:21Mr Dingle, you're here as a support
08:23Not to answer on your father's behalf
08:25Sorry
08:27So Bear
08:29Why was Ray Walters there, do you think?
08:32Like I said, to look for Dylan, maybe
08:35And the conversation
08:37Do you remember what he said?
08:41Do you remember what he said?
08:41Bits
08:42Sorry, I was confused
08:47But, but I know he were angry that I'd left
08:52And he tried to get me back
08:54Grabbing me, to drag me out
08:58You were hurting me
08:59You were hurting me and I was scared
09:01So you were face to face at this point?
09:04That's right
09:05And to stop him from hurting you, you put him in a body hold from behind?
09:39Yeah
09:41You said just now that your mind was confused
09:44So how can you remember this so definitely?
10:17I just can
10:17And obviously self defence
10:18That sounds like a statement only somebody who was there could make
10:23Which does make me wonder if you're part of the they your father mentioned
10:41Detective, let's not imply Mr Dingle is under suspicion
10:44That's not the case
10:46I'll ask again
10:48When you stated they were all shouting, who were you referring to?
10:53For the umpteenth time I got confused
10:56It was definitely just me
11:00There's that definite again
11:02You just remember what he's been through
11:04I feel for him, I really do
11:07And I wish that we could punish Mr Walters for what he's done
11:10But we can't because he was killed
11:12It was self defence, by me, nobody else
11:17I'm not accusing anyone else of killing him
11:19This line of questioning is drifting into speculation
11:22But I am still struggling to believe that you managed to suffocate a man to death
11:28Tie his body up in a tarpauling, drag him to a van, lift him up inside
11:32With an injured hand, all by yourself
11:35It's what happened, you have to believe me
11:37Belief isn't evidence
11:39Please, he's exhausted
11:41He's been here for nearly 48 hours
11:43Can we just, can we just go on please?
11:46Yeah, I appreciate that you're worried
11:49Look, this isn't personal, it's procedural
11:52Until we know whether anything recovered from your home either corroborates or contradicts
11:57the account we've been given
12:06So how are the boys?
12:08Oh, did Isaac get off okay?
12:12I've got to pay
12:14I know I'm an idiot
12:15Hey, no you're not
12:17You're human
12:25So, any news?
12:28About Bear?
12:29What he said?
12:31Oh
12:32Police rocked up in the garage and spoke to Sarah
12:37And Bear's confession hasn't helped
12:39Nothing he said proves that you weren't involved
12:45Yeah, it's a long shot anyway
12:49They also, er, told Sarah to tell me to stay away from Bear
12:57I'm, I might have put a bit of pressure on him, you know
13:00to help him remember things
13:02Cain
13:04You can't force him to say something you didn't know
13:06What is going on with you lately?
13:09You're snappy, making mistakes
13:13It's more than Bear in all of this, isn't it?
13:18Stressed
13:20About what?
13:28The kids
13:30Matty's doing my head in there
13:33Tights on my back about the farm and just everything's piling up
13:37Well, you should have told me things were this bad
13:39You've got stuff going on in here
13:41Yeah, but
13:43I want to worry about normal things
13:46Like Isaac's school trip and the farm rota
13:48All of it
13:49I miss it
13:51I'm just sick of worrying about me
13:53What?
13:55In future, whatever is bothering you
13:58Tell me
14:00Because we're stronger together, Cain
14:03Right?
14:08Problem?
14:10Yeah, it's just, er, Moira's farm
14:13Accountants misplaced some VAT invoices
14:15So now I have to spend the whole afternoon knocking heads together
14:18And if you keep applying the pressure, they sell
14:21That's the plan, yeah
14:24You never get tired
14:26Of what?
14:28Being you
14:30Nothing wrong with being sharp
14:32Intelligent
14:33Ruthless
14:34I think you're confusing ruthless with driven
14:35If you want to change the world, first you have to own it
14:39You even talk like her
14:42Kim sees the world clearly
14:46What are you doing?
14:48What was this?
14:50Houses
14:52Are you, er, you renting somewhere?
14:56Just looking
14:58Maybe I need to get away somewhere
15:01Is this to do with Rona?
15:03It's to do with everything
15:09Why don't you come away with me?
15:13Oh, you're being serious?
15:16Bring Dawn, the kids
15:17Make a fresh start
15:19You can stop playing these, um, twisted mind games
15:23And we do what?
15:24We sit on the beach talking about our feelings
15:28Maybe
15:30You've spent so long aping Kim, you've forgotten who you actually are
15:38This place, this power
15:41It's poison
15:43Just its purpose
15:47Leave now
15:49Before it changes you completely
15:55Thank you
15:57Looks like your mate over there could do with a laugh
16:00You got any good jokes?
16:02Oh, and I don't need jokes
16:03I've got charm and an adorable face
16:06Cheers, thanks
16:08Hey, you okay?
16:11You've got a face like a drop high
16:12Yes, sorry, sorry
16:13I'm just, um, worried about padding your mum
16:17Yeah
16:19Right, um, well
16:21Everyone is out tonight
16:22So let's go wild
16:24Watch a bit of telly and my world famous lasagna
16:26You are a good friend
16:29Back at you, buddy
16:33Hey
16:34So, um
16:36Yeah, payday loan is due in two days
16:39And we're already at the limit on our credit card
16:41Couldn't even afford to buy a coffee this morning
16:43Great
16:44Great
16:45So which organs fetch the highest price, lungs or heart?
16:48Both
16:49Um, even thinking if I'm charging my mum rent
16:52Oh, I hate this
16:54I hate that Ray is still raking our lives
16:56Even after he's dead
16:58I'm sorry to interrupt, but I
17:00I think I might be able to help you
17:08I don't understand
17:10I found an overnight bag of Ray's
17:13I didn't know it was his, but I was inside
17:18You should give this to the police
17:20It might not just be our money
17:21But if I do that, it will be gone
17:23You won't see a penny
17:25And you both have lost so much
17:26You deserve something back
17:31Thank you so much
17:34You don't know how much this is going to help
17:36I think I do
17:52Are you deflating?
17:57Get out
17:59Oh, that's rude
18:01Cain, Cain
18:02Lydia just ironed this shut
18:04You could leave by the door or the window
18:07It was a minor technicality
18:08I own half this place, so I don't have to do anything
18:09You can't just walk in here whenever you like
18:11Leave it
18:12I let him in
18:15Yeah
18:17Thank you
18:18For the info
18:20What's he taking?
18:21Just some missing fighting voices his accountant's asked for
18:24Why?
18:24Well, I mean, does it matter with everything going on with mum?
18:28You can't trust him
18:29I know that you're stressed
18:30Trying to keep everything running, but I can't keep doing this
18:34You've got to stop being the man that fights everyone
18:38You've got to start being the man that supports his wife
18:56Well?
18:59I think I might have made things worse
19:07Oh, no, he grabbed me. He did the whole caveman cane routine. It was very scary.
19:14Here. Well, don't worry. Pretty soon, Butler's Farm will be all ours. Okay.
19:20Here. You're lurking again. She's a bad influence on you. Change the record. I take it that's
19:40your decision about leaving. I'm not going to run away from my birthright. This is my
19:48home. This is where my family live, including Kim. So, when are you thinking of leaving?
19:58I've just decided not to. For now, anyway. Why? It's where my family live.
20:15It's so unfair, they're keeping him in. Yeah, me dad's in bits. And, erm...
20:23What, what? He slipped up yesterday. Said they. They? What, as in us two?
20:35Right. We don't panic until we have to, right? And now, April has offered this alibi.
20:39You're both covered, yeah?
20:43It's the police.
20:45I'm normal. Come on. Come in.
20:57Sorry, I didn't know you had company. You can't get rid sometimes.
21:02I just wanted to ask you to come down to the station again tomorrow to answer a few questions.
21:08Some inconsistencies have come to light in your father's account. So, if you could
21:12both come for 10am. Sorry. Dillon too. Yeah? Yeah, sure. That's fine.
21:18Thanks. I'll, erm, see myself out. Oh.
21:30That's it. They're gonna figure it all out.
21:31Dave, they've got nothing concrete. No, no, no. None of you are there today.
21:35They do not buy that my dad got rid of Ray on his own. They definitely think I was involved.
21:40We're gonna go down for this. I'm telling you, I know it. I know it.
21:57All right.
22:00Bye.
22:03Bye.
22:06Bye.
