00:11I
00:29I
00:30I
00:30Was having a think of
00:31And I
00:31Do you think
00:32I've done a little work
00:33With the judge
00:33Paddy
00:34No no no
00:34It's just so that
00:35You can instruct the jury
00:36To ignore everything
00:37That Simmel said
00:38We called Simon Clark
00:40As a witness
00:40We can't change our minds
00:42Because we didn't like
00:42What he said
00:43Yeah we shouldn't have
00:44Asked him
00:44He was never bears me
00:45Hopefully your dad
00:46Can push back on
00:47Allegations of favouritism
00:48Did you speak to him
00:49Yeah
00:49We met first thing
00:51Now his counsellor Lucy's
00:53Up first
00:53So we'll have time
00:54To bed in
00:55How did he take it
00:56When you told him
00:57He had to testify
00:57I've been terrified
00:58But he understands why
01:00Yeah of course he does
01:01He knows it's going bad
01:02Sweetheart
01:02There's no point
01:04Pretending is there
01:04Sounds dead suspicious
01:06When they lay it all out
01:07And kept to midden
01:07And maybe when the jury
01:11Actually hear him speak
01:12They'll understand
01:12How fragile he was
01:13Yeah
01:15Or he could bury us all
01:19I swear by almighty God
01:20That the evidence I shall give
01:22Shall be the truth
01:23The whole truth
01:24Honey said it happened to her
01:25That she was groomed too
01:27Really?
01:29What was your opinion
01:30Of Mr Halston
01:31After that first meeting?
01:32That he had been groomed
01:34By Ray Walters
01:35To normalise the extreme conditions
01:37He was surviving under
01:39The way he described
01:40The relationship
01:41Flagged all the classic signs
01:44Psychological manipulation
01:45Isolation of the victim
01:47It's a highly complex relationship
01:49Between victim and abuser
01:50Fear can get mixed up
01:53With dependence
01:54Loyalty
01:56Confusion
01:57But he was absolutely aware
02:00Of what Ray was capable of
02:01So when Mr Walters
02:03Turned on his loved ones
02:05On the day of his death
02:06What do you think
02:07Mr Halston's reaction
02:08Might have been?
02:09Objection
02:10Calls for speculation
02:11I'm asking Miss Hayes
02:12For her professional opinion
02:14You may answer the question
02:16I think the extreme violence
02:19That Bear had seen Ray
02:20Inflict on his fellow workers
02:22Coupled with the power
02:23That Ray had over him
02:25Would have heightened
02:26His perception of any threat
02:27So in your professional opinion
02:29Do you believe Mr Halston
02:31Feared for his life?
02:33Yes
02:33Absolutely
02:36Can't argue with that
02:37Thank you Miss Hayes
02:39No further questions
02:40Dad
02:43You're wrong
03:04I swear by almighty God
03:06That the evidence I shall give
03:08Shall be the truth
03:09The whole truth
03:11And nothing but the truth
03:15I came in
03:17The back door
03:19Ray was standing over
03:21Someone
03:21The lad
03:23Dylan
03:24Said he was killing him
03:28Then I realised
03:30It was Paddy on the floor
03:33What did you do?
03:35Ray told me to go
03:37Or wait outside
03:38I always did what he said
03:41But I could see that
03:44Ray had the hammer
03:45And he was about to smash it down
03:47On Paddy
03:47So I grabbed him
03:50You grabbed Mr Walters?
03:51I had to
03:52What did Mr Walters do?
03:54He shouted at me to get off
03:56Said that
03:58Paddy and Dylan
03:59Didn't care about me
04:00That he were more like my son
04:04But I knew that were
04:07That were wrong
04:09Did you have a plan?
04:11In that moment?
04:13No
04:13I just wanted him to stop talking
04:15I
04:17I couldn't think
04:20Were you aware of Mr Dingle
04:22Telling you to release him?
04:23No
04:24Did you realise that Mr Walters
04:26Was getting weaker?
04:27That he was struggling to breathe?
04:29No
04:30Why not?
04:32Dunno
04:33I didn't really know what were happening
04:36There was just all this
04:38Noise
04:41But I knew that I'd started
04:45Started what?
04:47That turned on Ray
04:50The boss
04:51I knew that if
04:53I let him go
04:55That you were going to kill me
04:58I didn't mean to kill him
05:00No I didn't
05:02We tried to bring him back
05:04The kiss of life
05:05But it was too late
05:06He was
05:08He was gone
05:12Did you think about calling an ambulance?
05:15Did you hear Mr Penders
05:17And Mr Dingle discussing it?
05:18Yeah
05:18He were already dead
05:21I held his
05:22Hand
05:25I told him
05:26I was sorry
05:27Because I
05:28I never meant to kill him
05:32He were
05:33The boss
05:34My friend
05:37He were good to me
05:38When he found me
05:39All them months ago
05:40He
05:40He gave me a job
05:42I don't know
05:44What I would have done
05:44Without him
05:49Mr Halston
05:53I didn't know about
05:54The grooming
05:55I didn't know that
05:57But
06:01Thank you
06:02Mr Halston
06:03We'll leave that there
06:04I'm sorry
06:07I'm sorry
06:15I'm sorry
06:16Come on Bear
06:19Come on
06:19Hold it together
06:22Did you like working for Mr Walters
06:26Never really thought
06:28Didn't think I had a choice
06:29He had a choice the day April Windsor asked you to leave
06:33But you said no
06:33Why was that?
06:35I were
06:36I were groomed
06:38Who told you that?
06:40Your son
06:41The counsellor who was found for you
06:45Aye
06:51I think Mr Walters and Ms Daniels groomed plenty of victims
06:55But you weren't one of them
06:57Eh?
06:58That is ridiculous
07:00You were paid by Ray Walters into a bank account in your name
07:03According to Simon Clark you were a vital and willing part of the organisation
07:07No
07:08Mr Walters trusted you
07:09He was never a threat to your life
07:11No
07:11You saw an opportunity to kill Ray Walters and you took it
07:14To step into his shoes
07:15To become top dog now that Celia Daniels was also dead
07:18No I would never
07:19As a former wrestler you possessed the skill and knowledge
07:22I didn't
07:22They were an accident
07:24Anything else is a lie
07:26Mr Howelson
07:27Please restrain yourself
07:29But he's lying
07:35This is awful
07:37He was never supposed to speak
07:42You said to the police during your interview on the 16th of March
07:47Hang in there Bear
07:49I killed Ray
07:50And I'd do it again
07:53That we're wrong
07:55I was trying to protect Paddy and Dylan
07:58Because they helped you cover up a murder
08:00No
08:01No you don't understand
08:04I understand the law Mr Howelson
08:06No I treated Ray like a son
08:10But I had my own son
08:12But I had my own son you see
08:13And even though Ray said that Paddy didn't care where I were
08:17That he'd never called or messaged
08:21I should never have believed him
08:23You're saying Mr Walters lied to you
08:25You're saying Mr Walters lied to you
08:26No
08:27That's what he did
08:29He said whatever he needed to control you
08:32Well with Anya it were immigration
08:35Anya
08:37Well but she were braver than I were
08:39She escaped until Ray found her
08:44Beat her up
08:47Even then I thought it were outsiders I did it and not him
08:51Anya Barisha
08:52Is this the young woman Simon Clarke said you buried?
08:56He threw in a feed shed
08:59She needed a proper funeral
09:01I think we're straying from the subject
09:03I should have helped her
09:06Found a doctor in my sin
09:07But I let her down
09:09Mr Howelson
09:10And then when I saw Ray standing over Paddy
09:14I couldn't let it happen again
09:17You weren't going to hurt another person I loved
09:19I didn't mean to kill him
09:21I mean I've never taken anybody's life
09:24It's awful but
09:25But it stays in your head
09:26The guilt
09:29But I did it for my son
09:31And if I hadn't
09:32He'd have finished me
09:34Then he'd have gone on to Paddy and Dylan
09:36And none of us
09:37Would be here today
09:42Thank you Mr Howelson
09:45That is the case for the prosecution
09:53Oh bear
09:55Can't do anything else no
09:59Are you okay?
10:01Ray was even more of a monster than I thought
10:05Do you want to wait outside with Mandy?
10:08No, I'm going to stay
10:10Members of the jury
10:11It is now your responsibility to consider the evidence
10:15And reach a verdict
10:17Please retire to the jury room to begin your deliberations
10:20All rise
10:21All rise
10:22All rise
10:22All rise
10:47All rise
11:00All rise.
11:09Members of the jury,
11:11you were asked to reach a majority decision
11:14on the verdicts of the three defendants before you.
11:18I will remind the court that you were required
11:21to treat each case separately,
11:23despite them being connected.
11:25Have you reached verdicts on each of the defendants
11:28on which you are all agreed?
11:29We have.
11:31How do you find the defendant?
11:36Not guilty.
11:39How do you find the defendant?
11:41Not guilty.
11:42Not guilty.
11:46How do you find the defendant?
11:48Guilty.
12:18Just feels weird.
12:20Never thought we'd get different.
12:21I still don't understand it.
12:23You did really well though, April.
12:25Really well.
12:26Talking about rage, trying to kill me and that.
12:28Reckon I've got you to thank.
12:32What am I going to do now, eh?
12:34Now I'm free.
12:36I'll take you out, of course.
12:38Oh, Paddy's here.
12:39I've got to go.
12:40You don't need to do that.
12:42It's only April and I'm meeting her later anyway.
12:44Bet she's over the moon, isn't she?
12:47Yeah.
12:49Dylan.
12:52Done so well, you know.
12:53You've been so strong.
12:55Paddy.
12:56I'm sorry you got dragged into it.
12:58You don't have to keep saying that, all right?
13:00I got found not guilty, so I'm all good.
13:03And that's exactly how it should be.
13:06What Ray put you through, you deserve to just...
13:09go and live your life now.
13:13We should have all got off a bit.
13:19Chas?
13:20She knows.
13:22I pushed you to spoken to Dylan.
13:23How's he feeling?
13:25Happy.
13:26But he said he feels kind of weird, too.
13:28Yeah.
13:31I bet he does.
13:34Proper saying the shine of.
13:35Oh, why not?
13:36Well, they should have all been cleared.
13:38Then we could have at least let ourselves have a moment.
13:40It feels like we're all old, that.
13:41Yeah.
13:43You did so well, love.
13:44That's what Dylan said.
13:46It's over now, April.
13:48The threats, the control.
13:50Joel, your future belongs to you again.
13:55But it isn't over, is it?
13:57Because there were two not-guilties and there should have been three.
14:04You stood up and you told the truth.
14:06Exactly what happened.
14:08And that's all we could do.
14:10It was up to the jury to listen and to understand.
14:14But, you know, a man died.
14:20And even though he was evil and he was cruel,
14:23someone had to be held accountable for that.
14:25Yeah, but it shouldn't have been you.
14:27I don't understand.
14:29I'm all right.
14:30Now, you got guilty and me and Dylan walked free.
14:33I were the one that killed him.
14:35I were prepared for it to be me, all three of us, but equal.
14:39But when they singled you out...
14:42Dad, it's a suspended sentence.
14:44It's 12 months held over for two years.
14:47I can go and see Eve.
14:49I can take her to school, I can read her a story,
14:51I can do all those little things that I didn't think I'd be able to do.
14:57And you're back.
14:58And that's just the best.
15:00It's brilliant.
15:01I just wish I could take your place.
15:03No!
15:06This is why I was worried.
15:07This is why I told the police it were all on me.
15:09I know.
15:10I just didn't want you to suffer, son.
15:12I mean, your job, your family.
15:14You're so much at stake.
15:16Dad, I'm not suffering.
15:18Look, I'm here.
15:20I'm free.
15:22Don't spoil it by feeling guilty.
15:36Hey.
15:41That must have been tough.
15:43Yeah.
15:44Listening to Bear, you know, and April and Dylan.
15:47Hearing it all over again.
15:50It just makes me feel so stupidly oblivious.
15:53You couldn't have known.
15:55We didn't, with April.
16:01Sorry about Paddy.
16:03I know he's your best friend.
16:05It's a suspended sentence.
16:07Yeah, 12 months.
16:08He won't serve it.
16:08I mean, he's as good as free.
16:10Yeah, well, I hope he sees it like that.
16:16Thanks.
16:19How's Laurel doing?
16:21She's getting there.
16:24Is Paddy coming or what?
16:26Well, I think he must be with his dad and Dylan.
16:28They just said they needed a bit more time.
16:29How's he feeling?
16:31I mean, it's still a criminal conviction.
16:33And if I know Paddy, he's not going to just shrug it off.
16:36It'll be a really big deal.
16:37Hmm, certainly professionally.
16:40When is the vet panel hearing?
16:42Soon.
16:42I'm not exactly sure when.
16:44It's like being on trial again.
16:45Yeah.
16:46You could have done with a better outcome.
16:49Step at a time, eh?
16:51Well, I don't think that's what Paddy's worried about, to be honest.
16:54Of course.
16:55You know, it's his dad.
16:57All he wants is for him to be happy and well.
17:05This is where we buried Andy.
17:10She was only young, but she could see it so much clearer than I did.
17:18Modern slavery.
17:20That's what they call it.
17:22Yeah.
17:23I wish I'd realized.
17:25But you don't.
17:28All them farms.
17:31Workers in vans.
17:33Setting off before sunup.
17:35Get him back after dark.
17:39Barbershops.
17:41Nail bars.
17:44When you're all alone, see,
17:47and someone comes along and is kind,
17:51and they're going to give you a chance
17:53when you've given up on yourself,
17:57it does.
17:57Well, you want to be saved.
18:00So this is it.
18:04This is you.
18:06Full bed and board as promised.
18:10But with that kindness comes confusion.
18:15Because you can help someone.
18:19But you'll be hurting them as well.
18:26A sip of water.
18:31Lay back.
18:33I said I'd look after you.
18:34And I won't.
18:36You just lump together with...
18:39other folk, the same as you.
18:43And you start to feel like family.
18:44It could be a worse life.
18:48That's what you think.
18:51Only...
18:52not everyone lasts a distance.
18:56I said I'm protective.
18:59But didn't do very well, Gadella.
19:03Anya.
19:06Her family didn't know she were in trouble.
19:09They had no idea.
19:10But not like me.
19:11I were lucky.
19:12Even though I...
19:14did seem ungrateful.
19:18I didn't realise...
19:20that not being locked up...
19:24didn't make me free.
19:27Right, but we need to go.
19:29Come on.
19:30Let go of this.
19:30Put it down.
19:31Ray and Celia are using you.
19:33They've got you fooled.
19:34to think that you owe them.
19:35But you don't.
19:36I'm not a fool.
19:36I'm a grown man.
19:37I know...
19:38and this is what I want.
19:40Ray saved me.
19:41He's been good to me.
19:43You saved me.
19:46Not Ray.
19:48You never gave up on me.
19:50You're doing good, Dad.
19:52This will all be over soon.
19:54We'll get you well.
19:55Well?
19:56Yeah.
19:58Because I owe you that.
20:01You're my boy.
20:03Yeah.
20:05Yeah, I'm your boy.
20:07You said I just needed time.
20:10I did.
20:12I didn't have to answer to Ray.
20:15Trying to please him.
20:17Even though we were gone.
20:22I had to find myself again.
20:25We'll just wait for the boss man to come with your meds, sir.
20:29When he brought the meds, it were too late.
20:30He let her die.
20:33How could he do that?
20:38It were evil.
20:41Evil.
20:44You're well on your way, Dad.
20:47Rainsalia will never exploit anyone else ever again.
20:54It's not just them, though, is it?
20:59It can happen here.
21:00It can happen anywhere.
21:04All those thousands of people being told that they have no worth.
21:11Well, they have.
21:13Everyone has.
21:17They have the same right to a life.
21:23To freedom.
21:25To follow their dreams.
21:29It's what it means to be human.
