00:13But he's just come out of a mental health unit and you won't let me know if he's all right.
00:18All right. Well, just take care of him, will you? He's still really vulnerable.
00:23Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. Bye.
00:28I'm going to get somebody to ring me.
00:30They could have let him have a day or two at home. It's harsh.
00:33Yeah, but Zahara will be there. She'll take care of him.
00:34I could have been his appropriate adult. I could have explained to them it's not right.
00:38It's not fair, right? He doesn't want you there and you're not allowed, right?
00:42We just have to wait here.
00:44Do you understand why we've brought you back in?
00:47Aye, because of what happened at the hospital.
00:50Mr. Howelson voluntarily admitted himself the next day.
00:53I'm sure we can agree that his mental health was responsible for him breaking his bail conditions.
00:58Mm-hmm.
00:59And I'm glad you're feeling better. I understand that you passed your clinical assessment.
01:04Aye, I did.
01:06Good. That's good.
01:08So then if we could return to the events of January 2nd, I'm hoping now you can fill in some
01:14gaps.
01:15I've told you everything.
01:16Mr. Howelson has already given a statement. If you ask him to go over it, there's a risk of re
01:21-trauma.
01:21I'll bear that in mind.
01:24There was a heck of a din going on, loads of shouting.
01:29I'm still not clear what you were talking about if you say you were alone.
01:33My clients answered this.
01:35I'm asking him again.
01:36Now that you've had some time away to get things clearer, was your son Paddy there?
01:42No.
01:43Did he help you kill Ray Walters and put his body in the van?
01:46Mr. Dingle has told you that he was at a work conference in Lincoln.
01:49We've established that there was a veterinary conference on those dates, but there's no evidence that Mr. Dingle was in
01:54fact there.
01:55There's no evidence that he wasn't.
01:57Now Mr. Howelson just said that he has nothing to add, so can I suggest we bring this to a
02:01close?
02:05For the benefit of the tape, Officer Rickett has entered the room.
02:08Excuse me.
02:19Interview suspended at 9.32.
02:23Interview adjourned.
02:33I think you need a spa day.
02:35You know, relieve some of the tension.
02:39Do you want to come to Butler's Farm with me, see if Cain needs any help in moving?
02:44Go away, Joe.
02:46Oh.
02:47Okay.
02:47I'll bite.
02:48What's up?
02:51This to do with Rona?
02:53Ah.
02:54You know she's a married woman.
02:56All this mooning over her isn't really a good look.
03:01I think you need a distraction.
03:03I tried that.
03:04Oh?
03:09A momentary lapse with Kim.
03:11What?
03:12Lydia told Rona, said the whole event was an unmitigated disaster.
03:17Hang on.
03:18Um.
03:18You...
03:19You...
03:20You slept with Kim?
03:22Ugh.
03:24Oh my God.
03:25Graham.
03:25Please don't cry.
03:26Forget about Rona.
03:27What about Kim?
03:28The last person she went with tried to drug her and steal all of her money.
03:32You know, I'm still perplexed how you can pity a woman who once ordered me to kill you.
03:39Ancient history.
03:40We're in a different place now.
03:42And I rather think that your dying precludes you from an opinion.
03:53Hey.
03:57Ah.
03:58Hiya.
03:58I was gonna say, I'm sorry you've had to cover surgery again.
04:02I just can't seem to focus at the moment.
04:04No worries.
04:05Family comes first.
04:07How is he?
04:08Your dad?
04:08He's at the police station.
04:10Turned up as soon as he got home.
04:11You talking about bear?
04:13Yeah.
04:14I was going to ask.
04:15He's been taking him for questioning again because of the incident with Jacob.
04:18Right.
04:20Well, we do realise now that he wasn't himself.
04:23Well, exactly.
04:24Exactly that.
04:25And Jacob's not pressing charges, so fingers crossed they're not gonna make a thing of him.
04:28So it'll just be the manslaughter?
04:31Well, no, because it's self-defence.
04:33The solicitor told us that if we could prove that, then he won't serve a custodial sentence.
04:37Quite right, too.
04:38The ordeal the poor man has been through.
04:41You, too.
04:42Searching for him for months and then straight into this.
04:45If he only had found you first, it could have all been avoided.
04:48Well, yeah.
04:49You've got to be positive.
04:50When this is over, the real work begins.
04:54In the bed.
04:57Are you really okay?
04:59Yeah, yeah.
04:59We just need to keep him steady till the trial.
05:02I mean, any judge would believe him, wouldn't they?
05:13Oh, I'm sorry.
05:14I closed my eyes and then I dropped off.
05:16Huh.
05:17And why am I not surprised?
05:20I got up to go to the loo, and there you were, on your laptop, at four o'clock in
05:26the morning, Jacob.
05:27You cannot keep on doing this.
05:29It's this research paper.
05:31It's a lot.
05:32Does Dr. Todd know that you're working all God's hours?
05:35Can't she kill you some slack?
05:36No.
05:37Oh, my God, Grandad, this is such an opportunity.
05:40It's an honour.
05:41It's up to me to make it work.
05:48Hey, what's all this?
05:51It's not even twelve o'clock and you're on your lunch break.
05:54Oh, yeah, sorry, boss.
05:55I was just booking myself an appointment at the salon.
05:58Waxing.
06:00Oh.
06:00Yeah, but it's just so am.
06:02Au naturel.
06:03If you were a feminist, you'd embrace your body hair.
06:06Archie!
06:08Look, here.
06:09Go and get your own dinner, all right?
06:12I, er...
06:13I'm gonna need to get back to the office.
06:15What?
06:16Well, clearly, Kerry needs a time management refresher.
06:22And another one.
06:23I've got double signs.
06:26How does...
06:27Oh, just take it.
06:30Aw.
06:31It's a bit tight.
06:32You're supposed to be having a daddy-son date at the cafe, aren't you?
06:35Yeah, it'll be fine.
06:36Think he knows?
06:38Archie?
06:39Nah.
06:41Hey.
06:43All right?
06:43I've heard about your dad getting cancer.
06:46That's rubbish.
06:48Yeah.
06:49I looked it up, though, because I didn't even know what a prostrate was.
06:53Sorry.
06:56Do you wanna know something weird?
06:58What?
06:58Well...
06:59I think my dad's having sex with your granny.
07:04Oh, hello.
07:10If you're gonna start on about Chas the other day, I'm not getting involved.
07:14Nobody's asking you to.
07:17But I do appreciate your very chivalrous attempts to stand up for me.
07:21Hmm?
07:22Aye?
07:23Anyway...
07:23Hey, Sam, look, we're nearly halfway through the morning and you haven't counted your chicks yet.
07:27Oh, yeah.
07:28I bet more have hatched.
07:29Come on, exciting.
07:31Egg-citing?
07:37So, is this another Graham update?
07:40There's nothing to update.
07:42I just wanted to come round and apologise for crying on your shoulder like some lovesick teen.
07:47You came all the way up here just to say that.
07:50Well, you've obviously still got feelings.
07:53Hmm.
07:54Clearly not reciprocated.
07:55Well, you've both said stuff.
07:57He cares for you.
07:59He just needs to get this business with Rona out of his system.
08:01So I'm just supposed to hang round in the meantime, playing the pick-me game?
08:06Huh?
08:06Over my dead body.
08:08Look, if the pair of you are meant to be...
08:10We're not.
08:12How could I ever trust him again?
08:15He stole my money.
08:16Let me think he was murdered.
08:18Because he thought you were going to kill him otherwise.
08:20Well, exactly.
08:21It's too much to come back from.
08:23Hmm.
08:24The only thing that's meant to be is me getting hurt again.
08:27Well, it's not happening, Lydia.
08:30I'm too old and I'm too wise.
08:35Oh.
08:36It's just initial ideas.
08:38You know, how we might structure the research questions.
08:41Did I ask for initial ideas?
08:42No.
08:43I thought establishing some kind of framework.
08:45It allows you to submit a generic word salad with no substance at all.
08:50Did you use AI?
08:52No.
08:53It's a shame.
08:54At least that would have excused the excruciating banality.
08:58I got in late last night.
09:00I've been working so much.
09:01I don't know when I was supposed to...
09:03I know.
09:03Life is hard.
09:04The hours, the pressure, the lack of sleep.
09:06I'm not making excuses.
09:07Then do better.
09:09And don't waste my time on substandard ramblings I wouldn't even expect from a first year student.
09:13I won't.
09:14I'm sorry.
09:16Do you want this role, Jake?
09:18There are a dozen of your colleagues who would have killed for the chance.
09:21Yes, of course I do.
09:22I appreciate your faith in me.
09:25Then let's forget this unfortunate start.
09:28We'll call it a practice.
09:30Is that fair?
09:31Yeah.
09:33You could delete all this.
09:35I want the real version by the deadline.
09:38Or before.
09:49You stop looking so mournful.
09:51It's depressing.
09:53I think you forget sometimes how much I've done for you.
09:57Would you stop?
09:58All this jealousy with Kim.
10:00It's kind of boring.
10:01I'm not jealous.
10:03She only cares about furthering her empire.
10:06Everything else is secondary to death.
10:08She mistakes love for control.
10:09Control?
10:11You're the control freak.
10:12You come back from the dead and you expect everything to be the same.
10:15I'm looking out for you.
10:16Like I've always done.
10:17Well, it's overcomplicated.
10:19It's Machiavellian.
10:20And it's emotionally exhausting and I don't have time for it.
10:22You do.
10:23Now more than ever.
10:25Because she's got you right where she wants you.
10:27An errand boy.
10:28A scapegoat.
10:29Okay, seriously.
10:30This is your last chance.
10:32Do not make me choose between you and Kim.
10:35Go home.
10:37Face her.
10:53Interview recommences at 12.05 PM.
11:00So, after Mr. Howlson's assault on Jacob Sugden and its similarities to the incident that caused Ray Walter's death, we've
11:09reviewed both pathology reports.
11:12To what purpose?
11:13Unreasonable force. The latest conclusion is that the threshold for self-defense was passed.
11:22Mr. Howlson, you were a wrestler, is that correct?
11:27Aye.
11:28For how many years?
11:29Too many to remember.
11:31But it was your career, so we can assume you were proficient. You knew your stuff.
11:37Aye.
11:39How do you win a match? Can you, um, tell me the basics?
11:43Well, the simplest thing is to pin your opponent to the canvas.
11:49Using your own body weight in various holds.
11:52Aye, that's it.
11:54And did you ever kill anyone during a wrestling bout?
12:27No.
12:27Yes, Walsh.
12:28A force that you would have known was far in excess of what was necessary or proportionate.
12:34Now, look.
12:34I think...
12:37You deliberately killed Ray Walters.
13:03You deliberately killed Ray Walters.
13:05You killed Ray Walters's body in a tarpaulin, which you secured with a rope.
13:15Can you show me the knot that you used?
13:19It was a specific type of knot, which is why I was wondering where you might have learnt it.
13:24Go on.
13:25Have a go.
13:37No.
13:50Still no.
13:54I think we might have a problem.
13:55Don't you?
14:03From Kim's safe.
14:05My technique's a bit rusty, but I got there.
14:09Her will.
14:10Latest version.
14:13You broke into her safe to steal her will.
14:18I like your style.
14:21Beneficiaries.
14:22Page six.
14:23I'll save you the trouble.
14:25The grandchildren pretty much get everything.
14:27Okay.
14:27Fair enough.
14:28Which, of course, includes you.
14:31That's very equitable.
14:32I don't necessarily need her money.
14:35What about the house?
14:38Well, it's my home.
14:42She's always had that understanding with me.
14:43She knows how much it means.
14:44I mean, she cares about the Tate legacy.
14:46She's not exactly leaving it to a donkey sanctuary, is she?
14:50Klaus.
14:53Lydia Dingle.
14:55I can do it.
14:56Just give me a minute.
14:58Okay.
14:59Did your son Paddy tie the rope around Ray Walters's body?
15:03No.
15:03Was he there in the house when Ray Walters was killed?
15:05You've already asked all this.
15:07No.
15:07How about Dylan Penders?
15:08Was he there?
15:09No.
15:10No.
15:10And yet, you remembered he had a key to the van.
15:15Mr. Halston, why don't you tell the truth?
15:18It's clear that you didn't act alone.
15:20I did.
15:21Just me.
15:21I don't believe you.
15:24I think Paddy led the cover-up, Dylan supplied the key,
15:28and the three of you worked together to wrap and dispose of the body.
15:32You're wrong!
15:35Madsena got married.
15:37What does that make her?
15:37She's married.
15:38Duh.
15:39I'd be your step-uncle.
15:40That's classic.
15:42Stop going around with you, freak.
15:43Not my fault.
15:44You got a hot granny.
15:45I said, shut up.
15:46Hey, lads.
15:48Lads.
15:48Less of the argy-bargy.
15:50We don't push our mates.
15:51What's the problem, eh?
15:53You're both old enough to know better, especially you, Carl, what with your dad, you know?
15:58What?
15:59Let's just say Cain doesn't need you playing up.
16:04Why don't you help Mr. Pollard?
16:06They've been, er... they've been scrapping, but it's all sorted out now.
16:11Scrapping?
16:13He says it's about my gran.
16:14Don't tell him, you idiot.
16:17Stuff?
16:21Pray, elaborate, young man.
16:23She was sitting in my dad's chair in his office acting proper flirty, and he was talking just now about
16:28waxing.
16:30He reckons her and Jay are hooking up.
16:36That is my wife, whose character you are so casually inviscerating.
16:42Don't know what that means, but sorry, I was just trying to cheer Kyler.
16:44Trying to cheer him up?
16:47What is wrong with you, young man?
16:49I said I'm sorry.
16:50Probably got wrong on the end of the stick.
16:52My dad likes his women way more classy, to be honest.
16:57You said that Ray was your friend, but you didn't call an ambulance. Why was that?
17:02No comment.
17:02Did Paddy tell you not to? Was he scared that he'd be caught?
17:06No, no comment.
17:07Was it Paddy who killed him? Paddy who didn't have your professional training?
17:11Who wouldn't have known how much force to apply?
17:13That is your opinion, not fact. Can we take a break now?
17:16It won't, Paddy.
17:17But he was there, wasn't he? Wasn't he?
17:20He saw what Ray had reduced you to, and he couldn't stomach the thought that you would be punished for
17:24his death.
17:24He was trying to protect you.
17:27Because he loves you. He was trying to be a good son.
17:29Yes, Walsh.
17:30And now you're trying to protect him, and so the lies go on and on.
17:33I'm not lying. It was me, all me. And it weren't an accident neither. I knew exactly what I was
17:42doing.
17:44What did you say?
17:45When I found Ray in house, and he went for me.
17:50That was the final straw.
17:51How do you mean?
17:53I wanted him dead. He were cruel and violent. So I finished him off.
17:58And if Jay hadn't taken the ban, I'd have gotten away with it and all.
18:03Mr. Halston, do you understand what you're saying?
18:06You've got to understand. I'm telling the truth. I killed Ray. And I'd do it again.
18:16I thought you were Kerry.
18:18Just text her, Eric.
18:20No, no, no, no. I'm going to keep tabs on my wife. Totally unnecessary.
18:26Anyway.
18:27Whoa, not now. We're going out, remember?
18:29Oh, Sarah.
18:30To spend some alone time, to reconnect.
18:32I can wait till tomorrow.
18:40Is this because of the whole car situation? Because you said you understood?
18:43No, I did. I do.
18:44Right, so why are you being weird then?
18:46I have to work on my research paper, okay?
18:48Again?
18:49Yeah, I knew you'd say that.
18:50Yes, because you were up all last night doing it.
18:52Jacob, you hardly came to bed.
18:53And I messed it up, so I have to start again.
18:55Right, well, you still need to eat, so why don't we stay in and order something?
19:00Pretend we're at the fancy restaurant I booked?
19:01Sarah, I said no.
19:03There's no point in you bugging me.
19:05I have to do this. I'm sorry.
19:11The only solace is that now you realise I wasn't lying.
19:16How did you know?
19:16I didn't.
19:17But I do know Kim.
19:19She wouldn't miss a chance to create resentment and discord, even after her death.
19:24She isn't even a Tate.
19:26Not by blood.
19:27Anyway, I have a family connection.
19:30It's a moral right.
19:33Ah.
19:35Lydia and Sam are here for drinks.
19:37A breath of fresh air compared to the company I've been keeping.
19:41I hope.
19:42Bought some sparkles for the ladies.
19:46Uh, hostess Gibson never drunk on the day.
19:49It's okay, I know you won't touch it.
19:51Me and Sam will swill it down later.
19:53Why don't you go on through?
19:54I'll gather the glasses.
19:56I can sort all that.
19:57You'll do no such thing.
19:58You're a guest.
20:00Part of the family.
20:04Please.
20:09Don't joke about this.
20:11This stays between you and I.
20:14Shall I replace it?
20:15And trust Kim isn't about to expire?
20:19And thank you.
20:22For bringing this to my attention.
20:25Pleasure.
20:34Your father changed his account to say he killed Ray Walters deliberately.
20:38So the CPS has escalated the charge to murder.
20:41What?
20:42Yeah, but he wouldn't have said that, alright?
20:43He thought Ray was his friend.
20:45He said he wanted him dead.
20:46He was very emphatic.
20:48But that's not right.
20:49He'll have been confused.
20:51Why would he say that?
20:51He can't be thinking straight.
20:52DS Walsh was pushing him about both of your involvement.
20:56Suggesting your dad was protecting you.
20:59Dad.
21:00But he lied.
21:02It was a lie.
21:03As far as the police are concerned, it's a confession.
21:06But we'll still try and make a case for self defence.
21:09We'll use that to persuade the judge to go for a minimum term.
21:12But it is a mandatory life sentence.
21:18So that's it.
21:20After all this.
21:22My dad goes down for murder.
21:27My dad goes down for murder.
