00:00Like I said in court, I'm an alcoholic, checked with my GP, blackouts and this year the whole
00:21thing's got a whole lot worse.
00:24I, um, as far as I remember, I think it was early Boxing Day morning, after you'd had
00:35us all in.
00:37I think it was because the boarding in the doorway had moved.
00:43I mean that's when I must have seen him hiding out.
00:46I think I've followed Keanu into the caf, I mean it's most likely, isn't it?
00:52It's Cathy's caf.
00:57I remember Keanu being upset about his wedding to Sharon being called off.
01:06He didn't believe that you weren't Albie's biological dad.
01:11He was furious, aggressive.
01:15He turned violent, I mean he was violent.
01:19And I, I remember me, it was me.
01:26I picked up that, the meat thermometer, I picked it up and I, I, I stabbed him.
01:41You think all this or are you stating it as a fact?
01:47Keanu died in front of my eyes.
01:50I did it.
01:56Violent with who?
01:59You see Keanu was stabbed in the back.
02:07Mum's gone AWOL.
02:08Again?
02:09She ain't here.
02:10No, but all that stuff she said, all that guilty conscience stuff, Cathy, what if mum
02:14snapped?
02:15What if she's done something stupid?
02:21How did Keanu come to be wrapped in the Beals Hills tarpaulin?
02:25I did it.
02:26By yourself?
02:28Linda?
02:30All by yourself?
02:31Must have.
02:34Linda, I have to ask this.
02:37Are you under the influence of alcohol now?
02:39What?
02:40Because if you're trying to protect someone or you've been coerced into this confession,
02:42you do understand Dean Wicks is in custody.
02:44I have not been drinking.
02:45And if the moment of committing Keanu's murder is at the very least so vividly clear,
02:51I'm just trying to work out why it's taken you eight months to come forward.
02:54Because I'm a coward.
02:55And why none of the physical evidence corroborates your account.
03:02Actually, OK, all right.
03:07I suggest you go home, Linda, gather your thoughts,
03:10considering the events in court today,
03:12while it's understandable that you perhaps slightly overruled.
03:14What?
03:15Meanwhile, the investigation will continue.
03:20And I do need to make it clear,
03:22were what you told me proved to be true,
03:24alongside relevant charges,
03:26you'll also be facing a custodial sentence for perverting a course of justice,
03:30for giving a false statement against Dean Wicks.
03:32You may equally be charged with wasting police time.
03:35The judicial system is not a game, Mrs...
03:38I'm not playing.
03:39And we do not arrest people for something as serious as murder
03:42on the basis of uncorroborated accounts, hearsay, thoughts,
03:45partial memories or absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
03:48I've told you the truth!
03:50I have given you everything you need.
03:52And if you choose not to believe me, again,
03:56then that is your mistake, DCI Arthurs.
04:00Hang on, it weren't me who turned the screws, Johnny.
04:02Mum, it's just fragile, that's all.
04:04No, that was Dean.
04:05Throwing the murder trial, setting us all back to the start.
04:08No, I never did that.
04:10And I never said anything that Denise and Stacey weren't already thinking.
04:13Your mother ain't the only one back under the microscope, you know.
04:16And to be honest with you, Johnny, no-one, not even you,
04:19isn't going to go back under the microscope.
04:22I'm not going to go back under the microscope.
04:24I'm not going to go back under the microscope.
04:26I'm not going to go back under the microscope.
04:28No-one, not even you, is responsible for where she goes
04:31or how much Linda does or does not drink.
04:33I'm sorry, Kate, I just...
04:36What if it is not the booze?
04:39What if she has hurt herself?
04:41Just because she's trapped in this nightmare,
04:44it doesn't mean she's not still there.
04:46This whole thing is tearing her apart.
04:49Your mother is a decent woman who did one really bad thing,
04:54but for a very good reason.
04:56You know that.
04:57We just have to... have to have faith, OK?
05:01And trust that wherever Linda is, she knows what she's doing.
05:16Linda's gone rogue.
05:18I saw her leave, so I did a bit of digging.
05:21Word is, she's tried to hand herself in.
05:24What?
05:25Linda admitted to killing Keanu.
05:27Oh, God.
05:29God, what's she doing?
05:33Sounds like she tried to fawn on a sword and it's backfired,
05:36so we need to work out a new strategy,
05:38because if Linda's that desperate to offload...
05:43Right, um...
05:46You need to get me my phone, Richard.
05:48Oh, look, I shouldn't even be in here.
05:50OK, then you do it, please.
05:52There's people you need to call.
05:54You have to warn them.
05:56Now.
06:09Er, just up here.
06:10OK.
06:16Thanks, thanks.

07:16We're all just looking at mumps and mumps
07:18of more solicitors and the court.
07:22And I've got to make up my hours,

07:53I know the relief,
07:56when you finally hear it out loud.
07:59But I am...
08:02I'm doing this for myself as well.
08:06I'm desperate.
08:10I can't... I can't do this any more.
08:16I can't go any lower.
08:22It's not something I can live with.
08:25You understand that?
08:31No.
08:34Yes, you do.
08:37You said it.
08:41I can't heat down in booze to block it out.
08:50I cannot drink myself to death, Bernie.
08:56Those kids, my little kids...
09:00I mean, they already don't have their dad and...
09:04And I should have done this months ago.
09:06You know, I wanted to do this right back on Christmas Day night.
09:11SHE SIGHS
09:14Tell me.
09:27Sharon...
09:30..didn't kill Keanu.
09:40I did.
09:58Yeah? Linda tried to turn herself in.
10:00What? Sharon thinks she's going to tell Bernie.
10:03No. No, no. No, Richard, you can't be serious.
10:08I am so sorry.
10:11I don't believe you. You...
10:13Bernie, Bernie, please.
10:15What person admits to killing someone unless it actually happened?
10:22I mean, in what world would I ever, ever pretend to do something that bad
10:29or that wrong?
10:32But I did. I...
10:36Did he know he was...?
10:41Did... Did he...
10:43Did he cry? Did he...?
10:44Did he...?
10:46Oh, why?
10:48Why would you do that?
10:50Because I was... I was trying to protect Sharon from your brother.
10:53SHE SCREAMS
10:54No, Sharon is panicking. Mum could be anywhere.
10:56Linda's not that stupid. Oh, she's been to the police, Sookie.
11:00Well, it's not stupid, is it?
11:01What Kathy said earlier was right, and you know that.
11:04I mean, even you surely have got a little bit of conscience in there somewhere.
11:07After everything we've made up.
11:09All right, listen, right, listen.
11:11If Linda does spill to anyone, we deny it.
11:14All of it, point blank, OK?
11:15We are in way, way too deep for the truth to come out now.
11:17Yes, I know that.
11:18I've got a house full of kids relying on me, Sookie.
11:21Amy, Chelsea, this is too much.
11:23All right, now, just stop, OK?
11:26Right.
11:27Johnny, you go over to the Vic, all right?
11:30There's a chance that Sharon's overreacting, all right?
11:32And there's a chance your mum might have gone straight home
11:34from the police station.
11:40Seriously?
11:42I can't do this.
11:43You've got no choice, Denise.
11:45Cos if Sharon is right,
11:47every minute you spend having yet another fit...
11:50Fit?! Yes!
11:51Another fit, Denise, is another minute closer to Linda
11:54potentially landing us in it.
11:57I'm going to the cafe.
11:58No, Sookie, wait!
12:01How are you going to explain barging over there
12:03at one o'clock in the morning?
12:04SHE SNIFFLES
12:06SHE GRUNTS
12:08SHE GASPS
12:10SHE GASPS
12:12SHE GASPS
12:14SHE GASPS
12:16SHE GASPS
12:18SHE GASPS
12:20SHE COUGHS
12:21You are coming with me.
12:24You are holding your hands up.
12:25SHE GASPS
12:27SHE GASPS
12:29SHE SIGHS
12:31And I just...
12:33..go like you think it is.
12:36Round and round my head.
12:38There are good men.
12:41There are good men.
12:46Sharon had stopped the wedding.
12:48She told him that he weren't Albie's dad.
12:51Keanu had every right to be upset.
12:57I mean, what if...
13:01What if I got it wrong?
13:05That split second...
13:09What if I hadn't reached out, grabbed it and stabbed him?
13:12SHE SOBS
13:15What if I'd let Keanu carry on?
13:22Would he have really, I mean...
13:26Would he have really killed her?
13:29Or would he have calmed down?
13:33He might have done. He might have calmed down.
13:36Him and Sharon could have worked it out.
13:39Made up, maybe, maybe got back together
13:41like they had done 500 times before.
13:43You are admitting this to the old Bill.
13:46I've tried.
13:48But they won't, they don't believe me.
13:50Well, why?
13:52Why?!
13:55Because Linda ain't a grass.
13:59Kathy.
14:00SHE GASPS
14:01She...
14:03She weren't the only one there.
14:13SHE SOBS
14:19Maybe if it had just been Keanu...
14:22I love you.
14:24I love you too.
14:25I love you too.
14:27I love you too.
14:28I love you too.
14:30I love you too.
14:32But it weren't, Bernie.
14:34You already had Phil drag you off to their wedding.
14:37We'd already had Nish kick off in the Vic,
14:39giving it the bigger man,
14:40locking her in her own house,
14:42acting like he owned her.
14:44They had my back. I...
14:48I don't know how it would have gone.
14:50We were all just so...
14:53terrified.
14:55You know, we were just...
14:56just so scared.
14:58Who was going to come at us next, you know?
15:02But, Phil, you were my friend.
15:04SHE SOBS
15:07And then...
15:09There he was.
15:12Keanu.
15:14You see, he...
15:15He came in on the back of all of this!
15:18Shatting his mouth off, throwing his weight around.
15:21You use words, Bernie.
15:23You use words, but they don't get through.
15:26What are you going to do?
15:28What do you do?
15:31Cos we were all there, we saw him.
15:34He was choking the breath out of Sharon.
15:38What was we meant to do, just...
15:40step back and...
15:42watch the life drain out of her face?
15:45No, we...
15:47You know, Linda...
15:49Linda saved Sharon's life.
15:52But no-one meant Mickey Arloo to die.
15:55Did you?
15:56You should have called the police.
15:59We should have, yeah.
16:01Who was going to believe us, eh?
16:04Hysterical women.
16:07We were all implicated, dragged into it,
16:10just from being in there.
16:13You know, once it happened,
16:14once that horrible, horrible thing had happened,
16:19every lie was just built on a lie, and then...
16:24What about our children?
16:26All our family's caught.
16:28All the people who need us, rely on us.
16:31All our children.
16:41You killed my brother.
16:45And you covered it up.
16:48You dumped him with other bits of rubbish in a hole.
16:52And you left him to rot.
16:58And all of you...
17:01..you just stood back.
17:05You watched me...
17:08..when the only thing I had left was working in here.
17:12You just...
17:14You let me walk over my brother's dead body.
17:17I was just blaming myself.
17:21What was I?
17:23Like nothing.
17:24Like collateral damage.
17:26So, you fight fire with fire, and you say,
17:28and that's right, and then you watch my mum lose it.
17:32And what was left of mine, my family, my family,
17:36you fall apart.
17:39And I'm meant to...
17:43You seriously...
17:46..want me to feel sorry for you, for trying to keep hold of yours?
17:50It wasn't my fault, was it?
17:52None of this was my fault.
17:55No. No.
18:03So, I'm meant to go to the police.
18:06To get the truth out, and finally get justice for my brother.
18:10Yes. Yes, yes, you are.
18:13You are.
18:14You are.
18:15You are.
18:16You are.
18:17Yes.
18:18Yes, yes, you are.
18:22If you call that justice?
18:24Yeah.
18:25If you've got the evidence?
18:26You ain't surely going to argue with her?
18:32Please, Bernie.
18:38Please, can you just...
18:40Just give us a little bit of time to say goodbye to our children?
18:47Shall we go home now?
18:49I think she's lost her mind.
19:10OK.
19:17I love you.
19:18I love you.

22:14Okay.
22:16I'll, uh, I'll come in.
22:42What the hell, Lind?
23:07Look, you've got ten minutes, Max.
23:09Prison van's in.
23:11Bernie.
23:12You told Bernie, have you fun?
23:14You lost it.
23:15I mean, you have made everything so much worse.
23:17She could be on the phone to the police any second.
23:21Well, then she is.
23:23I've done the right thing, Sharon.
23:28Do you want me to kill myself over this?
23:31I'm sorry.
23:33I know this is all my fault.
23:35I know you've just been trying to protect me.
23:37But I had no choice.
23:41I have to find a way to live with myself.
23:46What about the rest of us?
23:48Please.
23:50You and I both know that if it hadn't come out this way, it would have come out somehow.
23:56Just ask Dean.
23:58The truth catches up with you.
24:03Yeah, I'm done.
24:11What?
24:21What I'm...
24:22What I'm trying to tell you is...
24:31I was... I was in... I was in the cafe.
