00:30It won't, Dean. You know. You're a showman.
00:47What, tell me I'm wrong? Fine. I don't know what I'm doing here anyway.
00:59You'll have to make these hours up.
01:30Dean.
01:47Do you want something?
01:48Worst thing I've ever been caught is a slap-off.
01:54I'd say you've grown a G if I was you.
01:57Because every time you wash it off, I'm just going to do it again, shall I, please?
02:01You could be so wrong, you won't be going to think, eh, when he finds out the truth.
02:06I mean, losing your temper in the moment, the madness.
02:10Maybe, maybe that's something he could understand, but lying in the court of law,
02:15sending an innocent man to prison for something you did, he ain't going to forgive you for that.
02:21Trust me, later smell guilt a mile off.
02:27I ain't done nothing wrong, Nan. Arthur, can you just take that in the front room, please?
02:31Lily, you're going to be late for school.
02:34It don't matter about these fancy pants lawyers, Stace.
02:38If you need time to think, pretend you can't hear them.
02:45Someone had a sandwich out here.
02:46Eh, what's that?
02:48Yeah, a bacon sandwich. I made it first thing. I left it right here.
02:50I can't hear what he's saying. Can you hear what he's saying?
02:53I was looking forward to that.
02:54See, play dumb. They can do you for lying, but they can't do you for being stupid.
03:01Look, I'm not on trial, Nan, all right? I'm just giving a witness statement because
03:05I saw Dean and Keanu arguing outside the back there.
03:07Yeah, good luck with that.
03:09You know, after what you've done there, Jade, I hope they throw away the key.
03:15What are you still doing here? Will you go to school? The others are outside.
03:18Where were you earlier?
03:20I was sorting out the back van and doing a million and one other things.
03:23Look, I've got to be at court in a minute.
03:24Of course you will. That stupid statement is all you care about.
03:27What is your problem?
03:30It's Charlie's birthday party and you're supposed to be helping her plan it.
03:34Oh, I'm the worst mum.
03:38No, you're not.
03:49Hey, it's all right, darling. I'm here.
04:06You might be feeling a bit groggy for a while.
04:10What?
04:11You're in hospital. Do you remember Peggy's, the crash?
04:16It's all right. You had us worried for a minute, but you're OK.
04:24My leg, it hurts.
04:28Look, you've broken your pelvis, darling.
04:29You're just going to have to be in a wheelchair for a little bit.
04:33You know, but you're going to heal. You'll get back to normal, I promise you.
04:39She's awake.
04:41Mum.
04:44Mum.
04:47Hmm?
04:47Shouldn't you be in there with Jack?
04:50Why are you clued to that thing?
04:52Um, Dean's in court today.
04:54So?
04:55He used to be family, but he's a rapist and a murderer.
04:58Don't you think Amy's more important?
04:59I just wanted to wish you luck.
05:18Chin up, be strong. Hope you get away with murder.
05:23Sorry, Andrew's back.
05:25Mummy!
05:26Oh, wow, here's my boy.
05:31Oh, darling, don't you look smart.
05:35You are going to have the best first aid school ever.
05:39Mummy is so proud of you.
05:41Love you, darling.
05:43Love you.
05:44Come on, mate. Come and get your coat on, yeah?
05:47Here you go.
05:49Come on, boy.
05:52You're not worried, are you?
05:53I'm just giving you a witness statement, that's all.
05:56Yeah, I know, I know.
05:58It's just the stuff on the door out there and Bernie stirring things up.
06:02What if Abby comes to me one day and wants to know the truth?
06:05How do I lie to my little boy?
06:07No, no, no, don't say things like that.
06:09Listen, that ain't going to happen, all right?
06:10Dean is going down for this.
06:12You've just got to stick to your witness statement.
06:13That's all, the both of you.
06:15You're right. You're right.
06:17You OK?
06:19Yeah, I'm ready. I am.
06:20It's just now it's here, you know, the actual day.
06:25I'll be fine.
06:26Yeah, of course you will.
06:27You know, the strength you use to get sober is
06:30the strength you're going to use to get through this, yeah?
06:32Ready.
06:34All right, mate, I'm coming.
06:35Listen, I've got to go and speak to the old bill, yeah?
06:37And give me an update on the investigation of Peggy's.
06:41And I'll see you in court, yeah?
06:46Have a lovely day, darling.
06:48Love you.
06:53It's all right.
06:54It's all right.
06:55We've got this.
06:57Yeah, I'm fine.
07:16You all right?
07:18Well, no, not really.
07:20Wrong person's on trial, ain't they?
07:22Oh, well, I'm just here to tell him what I saw.
07:34We're so much stronger when we've got each other's backs.
07:38And Sharon's asked us to be in court today.
07:41How's it going to look if you all turn up?
07:44I mean, guilty as sin if you ask me.
07:45No one's got any reason to be suspicious.
07:48We're not even given evidence, are we?
07:50So we need to feel like we're doing something to help.
07:52No, no, no.
07:53It's too risky.
07:54And Sharon's going to be fine.
08:01She's worried about me, isn't she?
08:03Look, we can't afford any slip-ups, can we?
08:05Because if one of you crumbles, we all pay the price.
08:17Yeah, I'm at the hospital.
08:21What is it?
08:24Yeah.
08:25Okay, I'll get there.
08:28How is she?
08:30Yeah, I keep telling her everything's going to be okay.
08:32But it's tough.
08:33See you in the next get.
08:36Well, look, I brought that fresh bag of clothes for you.
08:39Thanks.
08:39Yeah.
08:41So what was the phone call to trial?
08:44It means a lot you being here,
08:45what with everything that's going on.
08:48But I understand if you want to be at the court.
08:51Yeah.
08:52Thanks.
09:04Oh, you've been discharged.
09:08Not without a ton of painkillers, but how's Amy?
09:12Yeah, well, she's awake.
09:14Guessing dad won't let me see her.
09:17Look, I know it's hard.
09:20Listen, we've all been there.
09:24Made a stupid mistake.
09:26Lied about it because we were scared.
09:28Look, no one will blame you for that.
09:29But come on, just, you know, be honest with him.
09:31I'm not lying.
09:32I'm not.
09:35Honestly, Denise, none of this is her fault.
09:41All rise.
09:50With your Honours leave, I'd like to call my next witness.
09:53Yes, yes, get a move on.
09:55Miss Stacey Slater.
10:13I, Stacey Slater, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare
10:17and affirm the evidence I shall give shall be the truth,
10:21the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
10:25I'm just asking for an update.
10:26I know there's others in there.
10:27I'm sorry, I need to talk to a doctor.
10:30Look, please don't walk away.
10:31I just want to know everyone's okay.
10:32If you weren't sorry, you'd help.
10:37Were you asking about?
10:39Peggy's, about the other people that were injured.
10:43Yeah.
10:44The other people that were injured?
10:46Yeah.
10:48I'm worried.
11:00Yes, yes, I'm on my way.
11:02It was all a bit of a mess, really.
11:04The ambulance was on its way,
11:06and that's when Linda stepped outside to get a bit of fresh air
11:09and saw him dragging the body.
11:13If I may, Your Honour, that's hearsay evidence.
11:18If you could stick to what you saw.
11:22Allow me to clarify.
11:24You did see Linda Carter leave the pub that night?
11:27Yes.
11:28No further questions, Your Honour.
11:34This altercation you witnessed outside your place of business,
11:39Stacey's baps,
11:40was there any physical violence?
11:43No.
11:44Did you hear any specific threats?
11:47Not exactly.
11:49So it was an exchange where there was no physical contact
11:53and there were no specific threats.
11:57And this moment on the 25th of December,
12:00where Miss Linda Carter supposedly left the pub to get some air?
12:04No, not supposedly, she did.
12:07Then why didn't you mention that in your first statement?
12:10To the police?
12:11Because you didn't mention it, did you?
12:14You changed your statement at a later date.
12:17Well, I didn't know it was relevant then, did I?
12:20So when did it become relevant?
12:23When Linda told me what she saw.
12:25So you changed your statement to back her up?
12:30Well, I'm not backing her up, I was just telling the truth.
12:36One final question.
12:38On the day my client was arrested,
12:41the police found the murder weapon in his apartment.
12:45Did you visit his apartment on that day?
12:52Miss Slater?
12:57Sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
13:02Did you visit my client's apartment on the day he was arrested?
13:08Well, I can't remember.
13:11I believe you went to say goodbye to his daughter.
13:16Do you remember visiting his apartment on any occasion?
13:22But I couldn't tell you.
13:24Couldn't tell me.
13:28Or won't tell me.
13:33Are you getting anywhere with this?
13:38No further questions, Your Honour.
14:08No further questions, Your Honour.
14:38I, Sharon Ann Watts, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm the evidence
14:56I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
15:04Sorry.
15:08Miss Watts, how would you describe your relationship with the deceased?
15:19Miss Watts.
15:25Your relationship with the deceased, how would you describe it?
15:29It was the love of my life.
15:38Here you are, Mum.
15:40Let me.
15:44I, um, I spoke to a colleague at the court.
15:49Stacey Holloway, apparently.
15:52Look, I can be there today, Mum, if you need the support.
15:55Gina can watch the kids.
15:56No, no, I'll be fine, honestly.
15:59Okay, well, just follow Stacey's lead.
16:02Just keep it simple.
16:08Um, can they turn this around on me?
16:16Um, they are going to try and trip you up.
16:20Okay, but just think of everything you've been through.
16:22And you're getting yourself sober as well.
16:25Mum and I am so with you on that journey.
16:28I'm so proud of how strong you are being.
16:32Yeah, but I've had it easy compared to Sharon.
16:34I mean, part of her still love Keanu.
16:36Well, exactly.
16:36And she is on that stand right now, fighting for her future.
16:39If she can do it, then so can you.
16:46Couple beers here?
16:47Yeah.
16:52We were just having a drink and Dean said something along the lines
16:56of I didn't come here looking for trouble.
16:58But now you've got some with me.
17:01And how did that make you feel?
17:03Well, I was worried.
17:05So was Keanu.
17:06He couldn't sleep.
17:08Please, excuse me.
17:13He was, um, very protective over me and our little boy.
17:20Although he wouldn't admit it, he was scared.
17:23This is a joke.
17:24You are to remain silent in my court.
17:27Sorry.
17:28Would you mind expanding on that without the interruption?
17:35There was, um, a look in his eye.
17:41He was unhinged.
17:44I just remember Keanu holding me that night
17:46and promising me that he'd keep us safe.
17:52I'm sorry.
17:52I just miss him so much.
17:56No further questions, Your Honour.
18:04The love of my life.
18:08Those were your words.
18:10Is that correct?
18:11Keanu Taylor, the deceased, was the love of my life.
18:16Yes.
18:19When did you last see the love of your life?
18:22Uh, Christmas Day.
18:25And that was also the day of your wedding, is that right?
18:28Yes.
18:29Nice wedding?
18:31Oh, sorry.
18:32It was a...
18:35Wedding never took place, did it?
18:37Why was that?
18:40We had an argument.
18:42So what was the, um, what was the argument about?
18:46He'd been lying to me.
18:49And would you describe the deceased as a liar?
18:52No.
18:53Yet, he lied to you.
18:56What about him?
18:57If I may, Your Honour.
18:59How is this relevant?
19:01According to Miss Watts, the deceased said he was scared of my client.
19:07I'm just trying to determine whether or not we can trust anything Keanu said,
19:13or anything Miss Watts says right now.
19:18I'll allow it.
19:21Miss Watts?
19:25What did he lie about?
19:31Oh, certainly looked the part.
19:52Oh, all right, sweetheart?
19:54Good first day back?
19:55No, got homework.
19:57Yeah, something about kings and queens, but I said you'd help him with it.
20:00Will you?
20:01Of course I will.
20:03I'm gonna get to court, say my piece,
20:05and then I'm coming straight home to my best boy.
20:07I'm gonna get him and Annie settled with Johnny,
20:10and then I'll follow on behind you, yeah?
20:12You okay?
20:13It's just a witness statement.
20:15How hard can it be?
20:16Ah, master spirit.
20:19Love you.
20:20Come on, darling.
20:31Let me get this straight.
20:33So as far as you knew, your son had been kidnapped.
20:39That must have been very distressing for you.
20:41And I believe that you borrowed a huge sum of money to pay the ransom, is that right?
20:46Yes.
20:48And for all that time, when you thought he'd been kidnapped, where was your son?
20:55By all accounts, he was safe.
20:58Allegedly, the whole thing was a ruse to con you out of the money.
21:02Is that a fair summary?
21:04Yes.
21:06So I'll ask you again, Miss Watts.
21:09Was Keanu Taylor a liar?
21:16Yes.
21:17What about you, Miss Watts?
21:20Are you lying to us?
21:22Are you a liar?
21:22No.
21:23You are not a liar.
21:24No, I'm not.
21:27Then who is the father of your son?
21:32I'm a good mother.
21:34I love my son.
21:35Yes, yes, I'm sure you do.
21:37I'm just looking for a name.
21:40I did a DNA test.
21:42I thought he was Keanu's.
21:44I never lied to him.
21:46Not at the start.
21:48When you were stood at the altar waiting to marry Keanu Taylor,
21:52did he think that he was the biological father of your son?
21:57Yes.
21:58So at that point, at the point of marrying him, you knew he wasn't?
22:02Yes.
22:03So you lied to him.
22:07You are a liar.
22:08You lied back then and you are lying now.
22:11No.
22:12Yes, you are.
22:13You killed him.
22:14Silence, please.
22:15You killed him and you're trying to blame it on Dean.
22:18You will be quiet.
22:19I can't listen to this anymore.
22:22It was her.
22:23She murdered my brother.
22:32There will be no more outbursts.
22:35Those comments must not be allowed to affect your judgment.
22:39We are to try the defendant purely upon the evidence we hear from the witness box.
22:46Please continue.
22:48Despite admitting under oath you are a liar,
22:52you claim to have witnessed an altercation between the defendant and the deceased.
22:57I did.
22:58How well did they know each other?
23:01I'm not sure what you mean.
23:02They had a few crosswords.
23:06Why would my client kill your husband?
23:09If I may, she cannot answer for someone else.
23:12Apologies.
23:14He wasn't actually your husband though, was he?
23:17You called the wedding off.
23:18You found out the truth and a few hours later, Keanu Taylor was brutally murdered.
23:24Please, your honour.
23:25I love Keanu.
23:29I wouldn't kill him.
23:34Because she'd just get away with it, Felix.
23:37He's fighting for her team.
23:40He's fighting.
23:42He's lying.
23:46Miss Sharon Watts walked into this courtroom.
23:49She swore an oath to tell the truth and has proceeded to tell us one lie after another.
23:55Your honour, please.
23:57These are representations that need to be in the absence of a jury.
24:02But she has a far greater motive to murder Keanu Taylor than my client
24:07and has been telling bare-faced lies to this jury.
24:10You need to watch your mouth.
24:12Excuse me, Miss Watts.
24:14That is not appropriate.
24:15He started it.
24:16Miss Watts.
24:17Making out I'm some sort of killer.
24:19You are to control yourself.
24:25You are a liar, Miss Watts.
24:28You told your fiancé he was the father of your baby,
24:30whereas in actual fact, your ex-husband, Mr Grant Mitchell, is the father.
24:36Isn't he, Miss Watts?
24:38Grant?
24:38No.
24:40Sorry, your ex-husband is not the father of your baby?
24:44No.
24:46Well, yeah, he is.
24:47Yes, Mr Grant Mitchell.
24:50Phil Mitchell.
24:52Yes, your ex-husband, Phil Mitchell, is the father of your baby.
24:58Can you just help me for a moment?
25:02Who is Grant Mitchell?
25:05His brother.
25:06So he's not your ex-husband?
25:09Yes, he was my ex-husband, but not the ex at heart.
25:12Ah, I see.
25:14You married brothers.
25:18Yes, yes, of course.
25:20Mr Grant Mitchell was your first husband.
25:22Phil Mitchell was your second husband and the father of your child.
25:27No, it's not right, is it?
25:29He wasn't your second husband.
25:31What number husband was he?
25:33Your Honour, what is the relevance?
25:37It speaks to her character.
25:39I just need a number.
25:43Miss Watts, I believe you have had four husbands in total.
25:48Oh, my word.
25:50You could shut your mouth.
25:51Excuse me?
25:52Letting him go at me like this.
25:53Calm down or I will hold you in contempt of court.
25:56The man is waking out on some kind of tramp.
25:59Last warning.
26:00Shove your warning.
26:01That's it.
26:02I will not let that man slut shame me.
26:04You were warned.
26:06So I'm holding you in contempt of court.
26:09Take her down.
26:12No, I'm sorry.
26:14Sorry.
26:15I said I'm sorry.
26:17I said I'm sorry.
26:18I have to go.
26:20Sorry.
26:37I'm so ridiculous.
26:41I haven't done anything wrong.
26:44I'm not the criminal here.
26:47I need you to stop it.
26:48Get off me.
26:49Sharon, what are you doing?
26:51Get your hands off her.
26:53The lawyer called to me.
26:55Don't let them do the same to you.
26:56Do you hear me?
26:56You stay strong.
26:58Because this is all on you now, Linda.
27:00It's all on you.
27:07I'm sorry.
27:12Oh, my God.
27:14Linda, no.
27:15Linda.
27:17Linda!
