00:13Hiya.
00:14Hey.
00:15I'm James.
00:21How you feeling after yesterday?
00:24Ready to nail Mondo.
00:28It's me, the pathologist and Holly today.
00:31This is our day.
00:33I saw Holly coming in.
00:35She gave me an odd look.
00:37Probably nervous.
00:43Ignore him.
00:45I want to thank you for your kindness to you today.
00:53Let's go in.
01:00Are you okay?
01:04They're going to tear Mondo apart today, aren't they?
01:07You know, we are so lucky.
01:10How's that?
01:11We don't see each other for months on end.
01:14And then we just connect again.
01:16There's something comforting about getting on with your ex-husband.
01:19Don't give me that old slippers line.
01:22I'm more like warm fleecy blanket.
01:26Not the sexiest thing anyone has ever said to me.
01:28Well, you're by far the sexiest of my ex-husbands.
01:33Not exactly a high bar, but I'll take the win.
01:37Seriously, we get each other.
01:39Yeah.
01:41Yeah, we do.
01:43I hope you're going to be sticking around for a bit.
01:46Is that an invitation?
01:48I'll let you rule that in.
01:50Oh, cryptic answer.
01:53Not really, no.
02:00Hey.
02:03You know he ran down to see her a few weeks ago.
02:06Are they getting back together?
02:07I don't know.
02:08But he's a fool, because no matter how many times he's been burned,
02:11he will just jump right back into that fire.
02:16Holly, can you tell the court why you didn't come forward earlier with your statement?
02:22I was afraid of losing my job.
02:24I have a son to support.
02:26So you battled with your conscience.
02:29I knew I had to do the right thing in the end.
02:32I did it for my son.
02:33In your statement, you said that Mr. O'Connell was angry with Mr. Collins.
02:39Yes.
02:40He was furious.
02:42Absolutely fuming with Anto.
02:44Blaming him for the fire and saying he wanted to get him.
02:48What did you think he meant by get him?
02:52That he wanted to go after him and make him pay.
02:55He was very wound up.
02:56I'd never seen him so angry before.
02:59I wasn't surprised by what happened.
03:01You weren't surprised when Mr. O'Connell, fueled by this intense anger,
03:08punched Mr. Collins so hard that Mr. Collins died.
03:12Objection.
03:13Pure speculation and leading the witness.
03:17Agreed, Mrs. Natalie.
03:21What did Mr. O'Connell do when he discovered you'd made your statement?
03:26He verbally attacked me in public.
03:28I was frightened.
03:30It was like seeing a different side to him.
03:32He was crazed.
03:34After Mr. O'Connell calmed down, how did the situation resolve itself?
03:40He offered me a promotion and 5,000 euros.
03:43Did you accept?
03:44No.
03:46No further questions.
03:52So this crazed man, Raymond O'Connell, you continued working for him?
03:58Even after he verbally attacked you in public and you were frightened of him?
04:05Yes.
04:07Were you not in fear of your life that he might attack you at any moment?
04:11I needed my job.
04:13You can't have been that frightened of him.
04:15Yes, I was.
04:17Were you never alone in the office with him? Were you not terrified then?
04:21There was always someone coming or going. It's a shared space.
04:24It's a shared office space.
04:27With people coming and going.
04:30Yet not one other person heard Raymond O'Connell ranting that he wanted to get Mr. Collins.
04:39I can't answer for other people.
04:42So you and Hayley Collins both live in the same house.
04:49Hayley Collins is married to the father of your child
04:52and you all live there with his mother?
04:56Yes.
04:57And are you happy with that arrangement?
04:59I mean, for your son?
05:02Good family support?
05:04Yes.
05:05And having to move somewhere else would cause a lot of disruption in his life.
05:10Objection. Relevance.
05:12Did Hayley Collins pressure you to make a statement to the guards?
05:17No.
05:18Remember, you are under oath.
05:20I'm well aware of that.
05:22I suggest Raymond O'Connell was indeed annoyed.
05:27Annoyed because you were pressured to blatantly lie to the guards
05:31and make a false statement months after Mr. Collins died.
05:36No. You're wrong.
05:38I did not lie.
05:40My statement isn't false and you think I want to be up here.
05:44Yes, I work for Armando and we always got along,
05:46but I saw the way he was before Anto died.
05:50I tried to ignore it, but in the end I had no other choice
05:53but to make a statement to the guards.
05:55If you say so.
05:57No further questions.
06:01You can step down.
06:04Court will take a 15 minute recess.
06:09Are you watching the jury?
06:11Not right.
06:13Impressive.
06:14Now we're good.
06:16What you asked me to do up there is despicable.
06:19You disgust me.
06:20You and Jameson.
06:21You tried to blackmail us.
06:23I was trying to protect myself.
06:26We're coming from the same cloth.
06:28I am nothing like you.
06:32I hope Mando gets off, despite what I've done.
06:38How long are you going to be in Dublin?
06:41Depends.
06:42On?
06:43Clark.
06:44How long he's away in business?
06:47You can stop with a pretense.
06:49Sorry?
06:51I heard you on the phone earlier, ordering him to get rid of his golf clubs.
06:55Sounded kind of fun.
06:57Eavesdropping.
06:59Why didn't you tell me when I met you a couple of weeks ago?
07:03Another failed marriage.
07:05You of all people know how that makes you feel.
07:10I'm just surprised she's lasted so long together.
07:13Well, Claude's a very generous person.
07:16Yeah, but don't fleece him.
07:18I mean, yeah, it'd be boring, but he's decent.
07:22Do you ever wonder if the reason we never managed to have successful relationships
07:28is because we were never meant to break up in the first place?
07:31Huh.
07:32It's debatable.
07:34No, I think he used Helen as an excuse.
07:36But really, you were terrified of commitment.
07:42Commitment brought me nothing but heartache.
07:44Because you always expected things to go wrong.
07:47Are you on therapy or something?
07:49Oh, just older and wiser.
07:52Old, rich and single.
07:54Like yourself?
07:55Nah, I'm just old and single.
07:58Money isn't everything.
08:00Hmm.
08:03Earlier on the day of the 31st of October last year,
08:06did you have an encounter with Mr O'Connell?
08:10Yes, it was horrible.
08:12He'd already been bursting into our house, attacking Da.
08:17Da tried to explain to him that he'd gotten it wrong.
08:21No one else was blaming Da for the fire.
08:25Everyone begged him to stop, but Mondo just kept going on and on about it.
08:32Then he cornered me in McCoy's.
08:35He was shouting at me.
08:38Threatening me.
08:41Even said he'd have my baby taken away.
08:43Was that the reason your father went to the station bar that night?
08:48Yeah.
08:49Yeah, Da only wanted to get him to leave me alone.
08:52He was defending me.
08:54How did Mr O'Connell respond?
08:57He went ballistic.
09:00Then he hit Da.
09:03So hard.
09:05Right in the face, the punch knocked him off his feet.
09:11I heard the thump of his head as it hit the floor.
09:16It was like his head was smashed open.
09:19It was so much blood.
09:23Ma was screaming. I was hysterical.
09:29And then I watched the life pour out of my dad.
09:35He was my rock.
09:38He got me through after the accident.
09:43That morning he'd washed and dressed my son.
09:48All those years when his granddad had gone now.
09:58And then he was like, what's your name?
10:00How are you still?
10:01Do you want help?
10:02Just check it out.
10:05I can get tickets for tomorrow night if you're fancy.
10:09I think I was just off.
10:10Go on and I'll see you later on and enjoy your shopping.
10:15See you then.
10:16Bye.
10:18Hiya.
10:18Hey.
10:19Could you have that for me tomorrow?
10:21Yeah, sure.
10:22OK, can I just say something?
10:27It's obvious what Nicola's doing.
10:29You're an absolute fool to fall for it.
10:33Don't hold back.
10:34Even Hughie agrees, don't you?
10:36I'm not getting involved.
10:40She's using it all.
10:42Actually, Nicola's the only one of my exes who didn't use me.
10:46And maybe that's the reason why we get on so well,
10:48because you didn't lie to my face.
10:51I like the rest of you.
11:00It says the biggest user and liar of all time.
11:10In your statement to the guards, days after this tragic accident.
11:15It wasn't an accident.
11:17You made a sworn statement stating that Mr. Collins could not have started the fire in the Rafferty development.
11:24You stated he was out of the country?
11:26Yes.
11:27Where was he?
11:28He was with my brothers in the UK.
11:30And you're certain about that?
11:32Yes.
11:32Objection.
11:33Relevance, Judge.
11:34We've already stated that the victim, Mr. Collins, is not on trial.
11:38It is relevant, Judge.
11:41Get to the point, then.
11:44Have you ever heard of the O'Hagan Institute?
11:48Doesn't ring a bell?
11:50It's a rehab centre.
11:52A place where people go to recover from addiction.
11:55Well, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you?
11:59Well, let me jog your memory.
12:01Mr. Collins was booked into the O'Hagan Institute on the 20th of September, 2024.
12:08Eight days after the fire.
12:10And you made the booking.
12:13Does that ring a bell?
12:34TÃ had a gambling problem.
12:37I booked him into rehab cause I was hoping he'd come back to Ireland.
12:41but he didn't come back did he because he never left the country in the first place
12:48mr collins took a flight from dublin airport on the very same day that he was booked into
12:54the o'hagan institute there is no record of him leaving the country by ferry or by plane before
13:00that this proves he was in the country on the date of the fire objection this is totally irrelevant
13:07relevance judge is that hayley collins lied to the guards and is therefore an unreliable witness
13:15it has been established that mr collins is not i repeat not on trial here and you've been instructed
13:23that this trial is not about the fire my point being that hayley collins deliberately lied to
13:30the guards to cast aspersions on my client my dad did not start that fire miss collins
13:36please mondo was obsessed he was hounding me that for days he was swearing he was going to get him
13:42i begged him to leave me that alone but he wouldn't stop until he murdered him i understand your anger
13:48but you lied in your statement you're the liar you drunken slut judge my witness has had a deeply
13:55emotional day and has not recovered from the death of her father no more questions
14:02step down miss collins before i have you arrested for contempt of court
14:09the court will break for 15 minutes
14:23where is she
14:23i don't know
14:27declin
14:30could hayley get into trouble
14:31the judge would have dealt with it there and then
14:34he let it go
14:35but what if the guards go after her for poldry
14:37she didn't lie
14:39she believed anta was in the uk we all did
14:42i know that
14:43we could always ask your sons to testify that anta was with them in london
14:47that would clear it up
14:48no need for that
14:52i know
14:53i lost it in there
14:56hayley
14:57you cannot have outbursts like that in court
15:01best if you go home for the rest of the day
15:04i'm going nowhere
15:06now do your job

17:22he kept coming back like
17:24pushing mondo and shouting at him and
