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?
03:18It's all right.
03:19Right.
03:20Right.
03:32Right.
03:35Right.
03:37Right.
03:38Right.
03:40Right.
03:48how's Mandy she's not good so listen are we the only ones that know I'm just so angry
04:01please don't take it out on him and Paddy no no I'm not angry at them I'm angry at you
04:05know
04:05Ray and his low-life mother you know what they've done to you you know and you after everything
04:13you've been through and now this it's just it's evil I tell you what if I'd have been here I'd
04:19have
04:19beaten Bear to it we all felt like that but now I just need to focus on getting him out
04:24well Paddy's going to help him in here make sure Bear sticks to the story won't he
04:31you know Paddy and stress it doesn't end well
04:37oh I'm so worried about you why did you do it what's changed
04:45well for me I changed
04:51when I talked to that counselling lass I began to see things differently
04:57that if I carried on lying then I'd be no better than him
05:03have you been
05:05well I've been trying to stick to the story but they keep
05:09asking me how I managed to do it all by my scent
05:12and then they started asking me about Moira
05:17and I'm sure I've
05:19I'm sure I've made things worse
05:25Dad I can't let you do this on your own anymore
05:30I'm going to tell him about being there and 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 so that if I get confused again you can help
05:45you being by my side gives me strength
05:50okay
05:55Miss Adams
05:56Mr Dingle nice to put a face to the voice
05:59oh yeah Dad this is our Adams she's a solicitor
06:01she specialises in cases like this
06:04so Mr Howelson having read your file I 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
06:14that'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
06:27very well
06:28listen sweetheart go inside I will be a sec
06:34no not really
06:35look I'm sorry I didn't say all about you know Bear getting arrested
06:38because Paddy said don't say anything and I said we don't keep secrets anymore do we
06:41no no we don't but listen I think he was just a bit worried that's all
06:46do you mind if we have a chat later it's just Dylan's struggling a bit
06:50yeah yeah sure well if you need anything just text me and 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 as I changed things for my mum then
07:18his confession has nothing to do with your mum's charges
07:21I mean she's innocent she's innocent are you not even asking the right questions
07:26Mr Barton I get you're frustrated but you don't want to end up like Ken Dingle
07:30what do you mean his frustration spilled over with Mr Howerson the other day and it could
07:35be seen as intimidation that's what I needed a word about
07:39so you might want to tell him this if he crosses that line again it won't be a quiet word
07:44there'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
08:09I mean there was no sign of a break in
08:16well they only used the key that we keep in the plant part
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
08:41bits
08:42sorry I was confused
08:47but I know he were angry that I'd left
08:51and he tried to get me back
08:54grabbing me
08:55to drag me out
08:58you 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
09:08you put him in a body hold from behind
09:10yeah
09:11so you were both face to face and behind him at the same time
09:18no wait I forgot he were going for the door
09:23so why not let him leave
09:26rather than take his life
09:28sure it's not as black and white as you're making out
09:30Mr Dingle
09:31please
09:32no I remember
09:34he would definitely go in for a weapon or something
09:38hmm
09:39you said just now that your mind was confused
09:44so how can you remember this so definitely
09:47I just can
09:49detective
09:50Mr Howelson's trauma and the effects of withdrawal
09:52make fragmented recall inevitable
09:55inconsistency doesn't mean dishonesty
09:57it's quite the opposite
09:59he's trying to be truthful about what he can remember
10:04every time we speak
10:06your story changes
10:07tell me why I should believe you
10:09it's just that I'm
10:11I'm telling you the truth
10:13look
10:13he didn't do it on purpose
10:15he feared for his life
10:16it's clearly and obviously self-defense
10:18that sounds like a statement only somebody who was there could make
10:23which does make me wonder
10:25if you're part of the they
10:27your 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
10:50they were all shouting
10:51who were you referring to
10:53for the umpteenth time
10:55I got confused
10:56it was definitely just me
10:58hmm
10:59there's that definite again
11:01you just remember what he's been through
11:04I feel for him
11:05I really do
11:07and I wish that we could punish
11:09Mr Walters for what he's done
11:10but we can't
11:11because he was killed
11:12it was self-defense
11:14by me
11:15nobody else
11:16I'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
11:24that you managed to
11:26suffocate a man to death
11:28tie his body up in a tarpauling
11:29drag him
11:30to a van
11:31lift him up inside
11:32with an injured hand
11:34all by yourself
11:35it's what happened
11:36you have to believe me
11:37belief isn't evidence
11:39please
11:40he's exhausted
11:41he's been here for nearly 48 hours
11:43can we just
11:44can we just go on please
11:46yeah
11:46I appreciate that you're worried
11:49look this isn't personal
11:50it's procedural
11:52until we know
11:53whether anything recovered
11:54from your home
11:55either corroborates
11:56or contradicts the account
11:57we've been given
11:58your father
11:59your father will remain
12:00in custody
12:06so how are the boys
12:07oh did Isaac get off okay

12:52told Sarah
