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