00:30Ten years. Ten years I've been waiting for that monster to hold his hands up.
00:46It is, it's a relief. Finally Dean's shown himself for what he really is.
00:54I, Dean Wicks, admit to raping Linda Carter on Saturday the 27th of September 2014.
01:04Is that official enough for you? It's a start.
01:10Might I have a few moments with my client?
01:14When have you terminated 2013?
01:26What?
01:29Dean only did this to throw the murder trial, didn't he?
01:32Yeah, no, I know that.
01:35And he got what he wanted.
01:37A mistrial means that the police will be crawling back over every little detail.
01:41We're all going to be questioned again.
01:43All of us?
01:44Looks like the officers will have mum in tomorrow.
01:46They'll go over the, um, the rape first.
01:50Then they'll go over your witness statement.
01:52Right, well we stick to the story.
01:54That way Dean will get what he deserves.
01:56Yeah, all of us, though, because...
01:58No, I just, I thought that wasn't guaranteed.
02:03No, it's just, what if I can't remember what I said?
02:06And what if one of us slips up?
02:11Oh, come on. Give me a break.
02:15I'm not saying Keanu was deliberately killed just to pin it on me, am I?
02:20What rot they find you under?
02:22Where's Warren anyway?
02:24What rules does that kind of Warren on my case?
02:26Mr Finn does not believe that it would be mutually beneficial for him to continue representing you, so...
02:31Whatever.
02:32It's like none of you lot can see the bigger picture.
02:35If they're going to charge me with rape now, then that is a small price worth paying,
02:39because I'm telling you, Sharon Watts is a murderer.
02:42OK.
02:44And what proof for your theory will they find?
02:48I don't know.
02:50I'm not a detective, am I, sweetheart?
02:52I'm sorry, I'm just trying to, um,
02:55I'm trying to follow your thought process, Mr Wicks.
02:58The police have it on record that Linda Carter accused you of rape.
03:02Now, regardless of whether you admitted or denied it,
03:06that shared history will have been factored in and flagged by the police when asking the CPS to bring in the murder case.
03:11Yeah, no, I know that.
03:15Look, look, look.
03:18A bit of bad sex ten years ago, that's Linda's beef.
03:22That is why they're setting me up.
03:24And now, thanks to me, all that's out in the open.
03:29Now you've admitted you're guilty of rape and you've concealed it for a decade.
03:33Is that the only new information you're aware of?
03:40It weren't you that stood up in Lydon Court, though, was it, Denise?
03:43It was so close, I cannot...
03:45It weren't you that planted the murder weapon in his house.
03:47Yeah, and that is still damning evidence against him.
03:49Yeah, it is, if I don't go down for it.
03:51It's been four months. I just... Honestly, I cannot believe we are finally done.
03:56But the fact is, Dean is not getting what he deserves, is he?
04:00He's looking at getting what we all deserve and all.
04:02It's a bit late to come over all moral now, isn't it?
04:04Look, framing Dean for lying about what he did to Linda, that's one thing.
04:07Yeah, and I get it, and I did buy in.
04:10But he's not lying any more, is he?
04:12No.
04:13We are putting the blame for Keanu's murder on an innocent man.
04:17Innocent?
04:18Innocent of murder, yeah.
04:19I'm seriously feeling sorry for Dean Wicks.
04:21Oh, are you really asking me that?
04:23I lost my marriage over this, and I did nothing.
04:26Nothing but find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time and keep my mouth shut.
04:30Yeah, you ain't the only one paying the price for that.
04:33Yeah, but none of you are working with Keanu's sister, are you?
04:35Oh, and no, Suki.
04:37I'm not saying Shane flippin' annoyed me with the graffiti and the text messages, but...
04:42Oh, come on, we all saw Bernie in court.
04:45She is desperate.
04:47You kept that, didn't you?
04:49She is desperate for the truth.
04:51Yeah, but she ain't getting it.
04:52Not unless you want to ruin us all, see us all locked up.
04:55Well, do ya?
04:56Can you stop twisting my words?
04:58And how is that in any way my call?
05:01I am just trying to work through this, all right?
05:05Because I think you're all going to be very, very disappointed
05:08if you think that this will just end with Arthur's re-interviewing us all.
05:12Even if they don't find new evidence.
05:14Even if Dean does go down.
05:16What's to stop him appealing, eh?
05:18I mean, Linda waited it out for ten years.
05:21What, you don't think Dean will use every day he's banged up for rape
05:24to fight a murder he didn't commit?
05:29I can't face another trial.
05:32She's right.
05:34She is right, this is never going to stop.
05:36Maybe it's what we all deserve.
05:38You can't think like that.
05:40Right, we are where we're at, and there is no way out, OK?
05:45So I suggest we all stop panicking, again.
05:47Stop tying ourselves in knots, again.
05:50And keep our heads down and get on with living our lives
05:53and loving the families that we have fought so hard to hold on to.
06:00Right.
06:25It says here that Keanu Taylor's murder weapon was found in your home.
06:29Stop agreeing and reading stuff out that I already know, and listen!
06:33I'm not saying that you were in any way pressured into making the admission of rape.
06:37No, but I didn't think that... I just don't...
06:39I do understand that you can serve a sentence for rape
06:42and a current life sentence for murder if you are convicted.
06:45You do not get to pick the one that looks the shortest.
06:47I'm telling the truth. I am telling the truth, you patronising...
06:54I can't be convicted.
06:56I cannot be convicted because I didn't do it.
06:59I didn't kill Keanu Taylor, and you...
07:04It's your job.
07:07You have to make them believe me.
07:10Mr Wicks, have you had a psychological evaluation?
07:40No.
08:11I'm sorry, darling.
08:14I'm sorry. I...
08:18Where is everyone?
08:23I don't know.
08:26I don't know.
08:28I don't know.
08:30I don't know.
08:32I don't know.
08:34I don't know.
08:36I don't know.
08:38Hello?
08:49Jack?
08:53Yeah.
08:54Oh, I...
08:55Things got complicated. I've only been back in...
09:01What?
09:02What?
09:06What does that mean?
09:08Yeah.
09:10Yeah.
09:11Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, OK.
09:13I'll meet you at the hospital. Let's go.
09:19Coffee.
09:22Message Cathy.
09:23She's got her make-up for hours.
09:25This time of night.
09:27She hasn't said one word since that judge ordered a mistrial.
09:30Pick the wrong side, babe.
09:32Put money on the rapists, what can she say?
09:34I don't mean Dean Gilchiani.
09:36Does mean he's a grubby little liar, though.
09:38What, Bernie reckons Sharon de Chiani with?
09:40Reckons Sharon's behind all of this, pulling the strings.
09:43Bernie into conspiracy theories and all, yeah?
09:46Well, Sharon ain't very good at it.
09:48She got herself arrested in court for contempt.
09:52Mind you, maybe Sharon ain't the brightest.
09:54I heard they were cutting corners.
09:56Someone dies from that crash over at Peggy's,
09:58her and Phil will be looking at a serious stretch.
10:00I heard they're bouncing the selling tickets on the side.
10:03I heard that.
10:04Tell you what, anything can happen to Nugget,
10:06be me up for murder.
10:16Darling, we thought you were coming down.
10:18Kojo's polished them glasses up special.
10:21Oh, I, er...
10:22You're overwhelmed, I get it.
10:24I said to George,
10:26it's a lot for you to get through.
10:28You've waited so long for justice,
10:30but you've got it now, finally.
10:33You've done good, girl.
10:35Oh.
10:38Like I've always said,
10:39even if you're a snivelly little toe rag like Dean Wicks,
10:42the truth will come out in the end.
10:46Mum, I...
10:49I can't. Yes, you can.
10:51Look, sod the cleaning, get them gloves off and freshen up.
10:55I'm going to go and put...
11:10I'm going to go and put the orange juice on ice
11:12and we will have a wonderful toast
11:14to the first day of the rest of your life.
11:18Mm-hm.
11:20So, Alfie starts singing My Way,
11:23and then, um, I'm always messaging Fat Elvis to see
11:27if he could get us in through the fire doors,
11:30you know, that new karaoke bar on High Street.
11:32And I just thought, oh, no,
11:35I'm not going to be able to get in.
11:37I'm not going to be able to get in.
11:39I'm not going to be able to get in.
11:41I'm not going to be able to get in.
11:43I'm not going to be able to get in.
11:45I'm not going to be able to get in.
11:47Oh, no!
11:48No, it's time to leave.
11:52I thought you wouldn't have eaten.
11:56You know, it's not too late.
11:58We could, um...
11:59We could pop over to the album, if you wanted.
12:06Um...
12:09We could just talk.
12:13Sakhi, I wish you hadn't gone.
12:15Not because you missed little Charlie's party,
12:18but I've said this to you.
12:20Christmas was bad enough, so...
12:24..why would you make yourself dig everything back up
12:27by sitting through a murder trial that's got nothing to do with you?
12:33I need a shower.

16:08She called me, Dad.
16:10She's doing me a favour. I'm bored out of my head.
16:14So, did they say anything?
16:17Do you know why the crash happened?
16:21The police think it was some kind of accident.
16:24The police think it was my fault.
16:26They think I messed up ticket numbers or something,
16:30but I... I didn't, Ames.
16:33I guess... I guess maybe I could have, but...
16:36But you shouldn't have been in there.
16:38And that is on me.
16:40No, listen, Penny.
16:43You turned me away.
16:45We all make mistakes.
16:48Don't we, Dad?
16:50HE SIGHS
17:04Hey, hey, hey, come on. It's all right.
17:06It's all right. I'm here.
17:08I'm here, I'm here.
17:10HE SOBS
17:18I don't think I'm very nice.
17:22Chelsea, you were looking out for your boy.
17:27Yeah.
17:28And if he...
17:31If you did get sent out for, you know, the ticket sales, the crash,
17:36and if... well, if someone dies,
17:39then that's both his mum and dad locked up.
17:46So what do I do?
17:49I don't know what to do.
17:55HE SIGHS
17:57I can't tell you.
18:01What I do know...
18:04All I know is, is that it just starts with one lie.
18:10And then another lie to save that lie.
18:14Look, if you don't come clean now,
18:18like, right now...
18:22..you'll be in so deep, Chelsea.
18:26And you can't... You...
18:28You won't be able to get out.
18:33Cos guilt haunts.
18:37Trapped and...
18:43Yeah, trust me.
18:47It will haunt you.
18:52I want Mick back.
18:56I need Mick back.
19:00He was my person, Phil.
19:03He was my...
19:07This would never have happened.
19:09You would never have had to lie to me about my kids just to get me to...
19:14I would never have wound up such a mess.
19:16Yeah, well, you didn't have a drink, did you?
19:18Yeah, but I want to! God!
19:20Well, you called me. Yeah, that's a good thing.
19:22Everything Gabby said was right.
19:24Yeah, she weren't trying to make me feel bad.
19:26She was just saying it like it is.
19:28No, all of them are falling apart.
19:31That's what she meant.
19:33And all of it is all my fault.
19:37And right and wrong and truth and honesty
19:39and all them things I care about
19:41and I've been trying to teach my kids
19:43and that's all I've ever wanted to be my whole life.
19:46Look at me! Look at me!
19:49I'm no better than him! Dean Wicks.
19:52I was. No, that ain't true.
19:54No, I am. I'm... I'm disgusted.
19:56Everyone hates me and they should.
19:58I hate myself. I'm a horrible, horrible person!
20:10No, not drinking.
20:12It's hard enough, but since Christmas, it's...
20:19I'll have a drink and for five sweet minutes
20:21I can try and forget.
20:23I stay sober and every minute of every hour of every day
20:27I am battling my dirty, guilty conscience
20:32and I'm faking my own life
20:34and I am so close to the edge of hell.
20:42Keanu is never coming back.
20:47And Denise is right.
20:49Coming back.
20:52And Denise is right. I mean, there is no end.
20:54There is no end, is there?
20:58No.
21:01No, you...
21:03You ain't ever going to get your life back, not like I was.
21:06I mean, you're addicted to alcohol, you killed a man.
21:09There ain't any good options.
21:11It's damage limitation, that's all there is.
21:13But anyone will tell you, you know, to stop drinking once and for all.
21:18Everyone will say the same thing, that you've got to win.
21:21Rock bottom.
21:23And that's where you are now, Linda.
21:25You're rock bottom.
21:27So you've got a choice, you either learn to live with yourself
21:31and stay alive for your kids
21:35or you drink yourself to death.

25:52Good thing you didn't come then.
25:54She'd start bawling, that's embarrassing.
25:59I'm sorry I didn't make it to her party.
26:03You're here when it counts.
26:07Yeah.
26:29Make a wish.
26:38What I'm saying, Jade, and this is important,
26:41legally...
26:43they might want to call it rape,
26:45but just before you start jumping to all sorts of wrong conclusions about your old man,
26:49just come here, let me explain to you,
26:51let me explain the corner that these dried-up, twisted old hags have backed me into.
26:55Time's up.

27:05We're still family, aren't we?
27:07You're the only person I've got left.
27:09So I need you to listen to me, OK?
27:11I am not a murderer.
27:13I am not a murderer.
27:15I love her.
27:17I was leaving her voice, but I didn't even get to speak to her.
27:20Van's here.
27:22No, I want a proper phone call at my door.

27:33Get off!
27:35Get off me!
27:45Sorry.
27:47I have to grab a bite while I can.
27:49We weren't expecting you till tomorrow.
27:51Is that on? Can you turn it on, please?
27:57Would you like a lawyer present?
28:04It was me.
28:06I did it.
28:11I killed Keanu Taylor.
