02:54She's with Eve, trying to keep things normal.
02:56¿Cómo's your dad?
02:58He's already at the court, he's with Zara.
03:00Oh, and we've had some good news.
03:01The judge has accepted our request for a last minute witness.
03:04What, this Simo fella?
03:05Yeah.
03:06Yeah, Paddy managed to persuade him.
03:08Oh, that's brilliant.
03:10I mean, hopefully they'll make up for Bear not speaking, won't it, if he tells it how it was.
03:15No, I'll get it.
03:21Um, I saw that you hadn't left.
03:24Yeah, actually, we really need to get going.
03:26Can I come?
03:27To the court?
03:29I really want to be there, but I just wanted to check with you first.
03:33Laura, of course. Look, it's a free country.
03:36I know I didn't have to ask permission, but I messed up before.
03:40I'd hate to do that again.
03:42No, I appreciate that.
03:44I'm absolutely fine with you coming.
03:46As long as you are.
03:48You know, with...
03:50the details.
03:52I need to hear it.
03:53See you there.
04:00Right.
04:01Yes.
04:02Come on.
04:12So, how's that, April?
04:14Well, putting way too much pressure on yourself.
04:17Poor kid.
04:18Called as a prosecution witness.
04:20It's just not fair.
04:21Gentlemen.
04:22Thank you.
04:32Thank you.
04:50All rise.
04:57Members of the jury,
04:59we have three defendants
05:01before the court.
05:03Mr. Howlson is charged
05:05with the offence of murder.
05:08Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders
05:09are each charged
05:10with perverting the course of justice.
05:13You must consider the case
05:15against them separately,
05:17even though the prosecution
05:18says the events are connected.
05:21The defence will claim
05:22that Mr. Howlson acted lawfully
05:24in self-defence
05:25and the defence of others.
05:27We will demonstrate
05:28that this claim is untrue.
05:31Mr. Howlson killed Ray Walters
05:33in cold blood,
05:34as he admitted to the police.
05:36Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders
05:38are claiming self-defence
05:39in order to exonerate his actions.
05:42Or else,
05:42why would Mr. Dingle and Mr. Penders
05:44remove the body from the scene
05:45if Mr. Howlson had acted
05:47in lawful defence?
05:49If Mr. Howlson lived in fear
05:51of Ray Walters,
05:52why is there a bank account
05:53in his name
05:54with payments from the victim?
05:56I will prove to you
05:58that Mr. Howlson
05:59was not a forced labourer,
06:01but a willing part
06:02of Mr. Walters' criminal organisation.
06:05Ray Walters
06:06made Mr. Howlson
06:08utterly dependent
06:09in every way.
06:12He controlled him totally.
06:15His actions, therefore,
06:17were wholly proportionate
06:18based on the extreme violence
06:20he'd seen Mr. Walters inflict.
06:22The defendant was in no doubt
06:24that Mr. Walters
06:25was about to kill him.
06:27And Mr. Dingle
06:28and Mr. Penders
06:29were caught up
06:30in this traumatic event,
06:31believing until that moment
06:33Mr. Howlson had been killed
06:35by Celia Daniels.
06:38It's no wonder they panicked,
06:41acted irrationally.
06:42The situation
06:43was beyond the realms
06:44of anything
06:45they had even encountered before.
06:52I swear by almighty God
06:54that the evidence
06:54I shall give
06:55shall be the truth,
06:56the whole truth,
06:57and nothing but the truth.
07:04How would you describe
07:05Mr. Howlson's state of mind?
07:08He was upset,
07:10agitated,
07:11and I tried to get someone
07:13who could help,
07:14but he grabbed me
07:15by the chest.
07:18How long did this last
07:19before Mr. Howlson released you?
07:21Not long.
07:23I made some noise
07:24and he just kind of
07:24let go,
07:26like he came to his senses.
07:28Would you say
07:29you were unharmed?
07:30Yes.
07:31No bruises
07:32or compression marks?
07:33No.
07:35Was he standing behind you?
07:37Yes.
07:38A bear hug,
07:39in other words,
07:40if you'll excuse the pun.
07:42The exact same method
07:43of restraint
07:44the defendant used
07:45on Mr. Walters.
07:46So what?
07:47He didn't hurt Jacob,
07:48did he?
07:49No, but I think
07:49that's the point.
07:50We've just heard
07:51from one of the pathologists
07:52who prepared the reports
07:53on Mr. Walters' body.
07:55They found
07:57extensive contusions,
07:59multiple rib fractures,
08:01cardiac contusion.
08:03Would you agree
08:04you got off lightly?
08:06I can't really answer that.
08:09Did you know Mr. Howlson
08:10is a former professional wrestler?
08:13Yes, everybody
08:14didos.
08:14A man whose job
08:15relies on him precisely
08:17knowing his own strength.
08:18So aptly demonstrated
08:19by the fact
08:20that despite his agitated state,
08:22the defendant released you.
08:23Your Honour?
08:24Whereas the pathologist
08:25states that excessive force
08:26was used for Mr. Walters'
08:28restraint and submission.
08:29Mr. Walters had stopped breathing
08:31long before he was released.
08:32Your Honour,
08:32this has already been established.
08:34Have you any further questions
08:35for the witness?
08:37No.
08:38Thank you, Mr. Sugden.
08:40Please call your next witness.
08:48We're up.
08:49Go on, April.
08:50You can do this.
08:52I swear my almighty God
08:53that the evidence I shall give
08:54shall be the truth,
08:55the whole truth,
08:56and nothing but the truth.
09:01Tell us what happened
09:02on the 30th of December,
09:042025.
09:06Er.
09:07Did you go to Celia Daniels' farm?
09:09Bear.
09:09Yes.
09:10For what reason?
09:12To rescue Bear.
09:14Celia and Ray were leaving,
09:16so I had no other choice.
09:17And did you?
09:18You rescued him?
09:20No.
09:21He didn't trust the outside world.
09:24They'd got into his head.
09:25Was it just you and Mr. Halsey?
09:28Yes.
09:28Was he restrained
09:29under lock and key?
09:30Well, not then,
09:31but he was usually locked up
09:32in an attic.
09:34There was a key,
09:35but I didn't need it.
09:36Was there anything
09:37preventing him leaving?
09:39Only himself.
09:41Only himself?
09:42This man who the defence allege
09:43was completely terrified
09:44of the threat Mr. Walters presented.
09:46You'd think he'd be desperate to flee.
09:48Did you attempt to persuade him?
09:50Of course I did, but...
09:51He neither wanted
09:52nor required rescuing.
09:53No, he did.
09:54You don't understand.
09:54No further questions.
10:12Can you describe
10:13how you found Mr. Halsey?
10:16He was coming out of a barn
10:17with some chicken wire.
10:19He'd been mending something
10:21and he said he had to finish it
10:22before Ray and Celia got back.
10:24How did he seem to you?
10:26Not right.
10:27Not himself.
10:29Ray had got into his head,
10:30like I said.
10:32Got into his head.
10:33What do you mean by that?
10:34He changed how you thought
10:38and made it seem like
10:40your own family were out to hurt you
10:42and that he was the only person
10:44you could trust.
10:45How do you know that?
10:49Because he did it to me.
10:51Your Honour, the Crown submits
10:52this is irrelevant to the case.
10:53Of course it's relevant.
10:56Continue.
11:00I was groomed into doing anything
11:03that Ray wanted me to
11:04and something would happen
11:06if I said no.
11:08Bad things.
11:09Threats.
11:11But then sometimes I did well
11:13and he was nice,
11:14which was...
11:16even more confusing.
11:19Were you ever scared of Mr. Walters?
11:21Yes.
11:22When?
11:23The day that I told my dad
11:25what had been happening to me.
11:27He tried to kill Dylan.
11:30To stop us from going to the police.
11:32Dylan, Mr. Pendens.
11:34We know who you mean.
11:37He filmed everything live on his phone.
11:41Dylan opening the farm gate.
11:45Him driving his car towards him.
11:50I heard the sound of his body.
11:52It's been a new car.
11:54I heard the sound of his car.
11:55Then what happened?
11:56I thought that he was dead.
11:59But luckily, somebody found him
12:01and took him to the hospital.
12:04Ray had injected him with heroin
12:06para que se vea como un accidente.
12:08Injected him with heroin?
12:10Yes.
12:11¿No esperaba eso?
12:12Entonces, Mr Walters purposely hit Dylan con su car,
12:18leaving him con injuries que muy nele killed him
12:20en order para enviar a mensaje a ti y tu familia?
12:25Si esto es lo que él era capaz de ser capaz,
12:27¿es de alguna manera que Mr Howson creía que su vida era a la risca?
12:36Do you have any more witnesses?
12:38No, Your Honor, that is the case for the prosecution.
12:41You may call your first witness.
12:44I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give
12:48should be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
12:52Are you sure you want to stay?
12:55I have to.
12:58You encountered Mr Walters outside the house.
13:02What was his reaction?
13:04Er, he dragged me inside.
13:07He was going to kill me.
13:09And then Paddy came down from upstairs
13:12and he had this hammer.
13:14And then Ray saw him.
13:17And he got him on the floor.
13:19He started kicking him.
13:20And I was begging him to stop.
13:23And then that's when Bear came in.
13:25What did he do?
13:26Er, nothing.
13:27Nothing at first.
13:28He was just speaking.
13:31Telling Bear to go back outside.
13:33Erm, that Paddy never loved him.
13:36Erm, and that Ray was his only friend.
13:39And Bear would believe in it.
13:41You know, cos that's just what Ray does.
13:44And gets inside your head?
13:45Your Honor leading the witness.
13:46Yes.
13:49And then Bear saw Ray about to hit Paddy with a hammer
13:53and he wanted to have you in any of it.
13:54Erm, so he pulled him away.
13:59Then what happened?
14:04Mr Penders?
14:06Er, Ray were just saying, Ted.
14:08Ted!
14:09Ted!
14:10Ted!
14:11Ted!
14:11Stop it!
14:12Stop it!
14:12He called Bear.
14:15We were fighting back.
14:17But Bear, Bear kept hold of him.
14:19Did you believe Mr Howlson's life was an imminent danger?
14:24Yes.
14:25Could you or Mr Dingo have helped by overpowering Mr Walters?
14:29Er, no.
14:30I had, erm, I had a broken leg.
14:32Was there any other option available to Mr Howlson in that moment?
14:36No.
14:37It was self-defence.
14:38He did what he had to do.
14:40Thank you, Mr Penders.
14:41You OK?
14:44Mr Penders, the one thing I'm struggling with
14:47is why you didn't call the police or the ambulance.
14:51Did the three of you have any discussions about that?
14:53Er, no.
14:55Bear was in a really bad way.
14:56What about you and Mr Dingle?
14:59Er, Paddy wanted to, but I wouldn't let him.
15:02You didn't let him?
15:04Who was in charge here?
15:05No one.
15:06I mean, Paddy doesn't know the things I know
15:09and now you're going to say that makes us guilty,
15:10so it proves my point.
15:11So Mr Dingle wanted to call the police,
15:13but you persuaded him against it?
15:17Yeah.
15:18And the thing is, when you come from the streets,
15:20calling the police is the last thing you do
15:21because as soon as they look you up on the system,
15:24you get started...
15:26you start getting treated like a criminal.
15:28If you're dealing drugs, then you are.
15:30I never killed anyone.
15:32I worked for Ray, but I was nothing like him.
15:36At the end of the day, I wanted to protect my family
15:38and do what's right.
15:39Right for who?
15:41Not Mr Walters, who Mr Dingle trust up in plastic.
15:43But Bear.
15:45Ray, we're going to kill me and Paddy, all right?
15:48Bear saved our lives.
15:51And, yeah, to be honest, we should have called someone
15:54because if we did, we wouldn't be here now.
15:56But we weren't thinking straight.
15:57None of us were.
15:58Come on.
16:03I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give
16:06shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
16:12You hadn't seen your father in months.
16:15What were your initial impressions?
16:17He seemed thinner, smaller,
16:19and it was immediately obvious that he was really traumatised.
16:23In what way?
16:25He was upset about what he'd done
16:27and he was confused about his relationship to Ray.
16:31Confused?
16:32Yeah, he seemed lost without Ray telling him what to do.
16:36He'd got him hooked on pain, pills.
16:39That was clear.
16:40So his mind was rambling.
16:43He was just all over the place.
16:44So, Mr Walters' body was lying in your living room.
16:49What was your priority in that moment?
16:51Take care of me, Dad.
16:52Is that why you all moved Mr Walters' body?
16:57Yeah, we were just trying to get through it,
17:00and I was panicking and I was scared.
17:04Do you realise now that you should have called the police?
17:07Yeah, yeah, of course.
17:08I never meant to obstruct the law.
17:11It was just about my dad.
17:12He's the victim.
17:13The victim?
17:14Yeah.
17:15Ray took everything from him.
17:17Broke him.
17:20That's why I rented the house.
17:23Thank you, Mr Dingle.
17:27How long did you keep your father in this rented hidey hole?
17:31I don't know exactly.
17:32More than a week?
17:33Yeah.
17:34During which time Mr Walters' body was discovered in the van where you'd put it,
17:38an innocent man, Jay Sharma, was questioned by the police,
17:42while you lied on multiple occasions to the investigation team
17:45that you had no idea where your father was.
17:47How do you explain that?
17:49Well, once it started, it didn't really feel like I had a choice.
17:52You could have told the truth.
17:53Did your father acted in self-defence?
17:56Is that the truth, Mr Dingle?
17:58Yeah.
17:59Or did you know the force he used on Mr Walters was disproportionate and excessive,
18:03clearly designed to end his life?
18:05No.
18:05Is that why you cleared up the crime scene?
18:07So that only you and Mr Penders ever knew your father was there?
18:11I was in shock.
18:13We were all in shock.
18:15How did your father stay at this house end?
18:20He left.
18:21Where did he go?
18:24Where did he go, Mr Dingle?
18:31Grainsillia's farm.
18:41Is Mandy okay?
18:42Yeah, yeah, she's just finding it all a bit too much.
18:47I didn't really believe that.
18:48I had some master plan.
18:49All we need to prove is that there was an imminent threat to life.
18:52If we can get that through...
18:54Members of the jury,
18:55the defence will now call an additional witness.
19:00Our secret weapon, with any luck.
19:02I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give
19:05shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
19:08Mr Clark,
19:10do you recognise the defendant sitting there?
19:13Ted, yeah.
19:14Where do you know him from?
19:16The farm.
19:17The farm belonging to Celia Daniels and Ray Walters?
19:20Yeah.
19:22Did you ever see Mr Walters use violence?
19:25Yeah.
19:26You only had to cross him once and he'd batter you.
19:28Proper psycho.
19:29Was he violent to you?
19:32Yeah.
19:33I once asked him for my own room,
19:34cos there was only one bed.
19:36The old man had it.
19:38Sorry, the old man.
19:39Do you mean Mr Howlson?
19:41Yeah.
19:43So Ray flipped.
19:45Started kicking and shouting that I had no rights.
19:48Then I tried to escape.
19:50After he grasped us up,
19:53boss brought me arm and my ribs.
19:55Cheers, pal, for that.
19:57So, Mr Walters was unpredictable.
20:00He had a temper.
20:02Yeah.
20:03Were you scared of him?
20:04Yeah.
20:05Was Mr Howlson scared of him?
20:07Ted.
20:08Do you think that's why he revealed your escape attempt?
20:11He knew there would be repercussions if he didn't.
20:14He weren't scared.
20:16He liked him.
20:18Always having little chats, they were.
20:20He was the boss's favourite.
20:22Are you sure about that?
20:24How do you know?
20:26Cos I seen all the treats boss gave him.
20:28Beers, sweets, socks when it was cold.
20:32Mr Clark, are you familiar with the term grooming?
20:37What?
20:38Thank you, Mr Clark.
20:39No further questions?
20:40But I'm not done yet.
20:41I've not even told you the half of it.
20:42Mr Clark, that's enough.
20:44Boss got said to bury the girl that died.
20:47And he got an hospital visit when he busted his arm.
20:49Stand down or I'll have to remove you.
20:52You asked me to come and tell you how it was.
20:54And I'm telling you, he weren't no victim.
21:03What the fucking hell was that?
21:05You said he'd been briefed.
21:06It's always the risk of a last-minute witness.
21:09How's he going?
21:10Just finished him or screwed us up.
21:11Hang on, I thought he was on our side.
21:13Major grudge against me, Dad.
21:15He just undid the whole case.
21:17It's unfortunate, but not irredeemable.
21:20However, we may have to take the nuclear option.
21:23What?
21:24We put your dad on the stand.
21:26You can't.
21:27He's too vulnerable.
21:28You said wooden.
21:29He's not prepared or anything.
21:30Surely there is another option.
21:32If there was, I wouldn't be suggesting.
21:34Paddy, your call.
21:39I don't think we have a choice.
21:47New drama continues tonight.
21:50And as Rav investigates the Foreign Secretary's finances,
21:53the Russians take aim at Kate's family.
21:56Secret Service is here at nine.
21:59First, it's Coronation Street after the break.
22:04First, it's Coronation Street after the break.
