Clemency Johnson, this is Rudy Jones.

0:00:020:00:03

-Has he been drinking?

-He keeps a bottle in his car.

0:00:040:00:08

I'm granting you leave to come back before me Wednesday morning

0:00:100:00:13

to argue about whether or not your client is competent to die.

0:00:130:00:15

It's not your job to tell the State Department in Washington we've

0:00:150:00:19

appointed a Chief Prosecutor who doesn't listen to anything we say.

0:00:190:00:22

I want the man who caused Michael's death put on trial and sent to jail.

0:00:230:00:26

-Take the hit.

-Who are you?

-All you need to know is I wasn't here.

0:00:280:00:32

Not then, not now.

0:00:320:00:33

There's a new witness - scared and careful,

0:00:340:00:38

which is a good thing.

0:00:380:00:40

-Who's the witness?

-Abigail Strickland.

-No!

0:00:400:00:43

That's the woman I saw with Nick.

0:00:460:00:48

She didn't exist, this woman. Why not?

0:00:480:00:51

Tell your wife you've been having an affair.

0:00:510:00:53

The journalist won't dig deep because private pain is private.

0:00:530:00:56

Whatever any of them try and say now,

0:00:590:01:01

Abigail Strickland was a good police officer.

0:01:010:01:03

-Dad.

-Yes.

-What happens on mile five on your run?

-Press ups.

0:01:030:01:07

But it says you stop for seven or eight minutes sometimes.

0:01:070:01:10

-Are you looking for a family member?

-Yes.

0:01:100:01:13

You should probably check the register of deaths. What's the name?

0:01:130:01:16

Nicholas Johnson.

0:01:160:01:18

He wouldn't even have been eight when he died.

0:01:180:01:21

This programme contains some strong language and some scenes which some viewers might find upsetting.

0:01:210:01:25

PANTING

0:01:250:01:27

FAINT MUSIC FROM HEADPHONES

0:02:010:02:03

Erm, call when you can, OK?

0:02:520:02:55

Er....

0:02:560:02:57

..I love you.

0:02:580:03:00

Mum?

0:03:190:03:21

Text from Dad.

0:03:210:03:23

Do you want to know what he says?

0:03:250:03:27

-What does he say?

-"Look after Mum."

0:03:280:03:30

HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT BEEPS

0:03:440:03:46

'Hello. It's me. Erm...

0:03:590:04:01

'..everything's fine here.

0:04:020:04:04

'Dan is doing press-ups like his life depends on it

0:04:040:04:07

'and Ella is practising some very serious dance moves.

0:04:070:04:10

'You left without saying goodbye, babe.

0:04:110:04:13

'I...I understand I get it,

0:04:140:04:16

'and I'm...

0:04:160:04:17

'I'm so, so sorry.

0:04:170:04:20

'Look, I just wanted to say call when you can, OK?'

0:04:230:04:26

-Mum!

-'I love you.'

0:04:260:04:27

-Mum?

-Yeah, coming, I'm coming.

0:04:270:04:29

They're ready.

0:04:290:04:31

For 20 years, we had a relationship based on truth

0:04:350:04:39

and integrity.

0:04:390:04:40

Everything we said to each other had the nuance

0:04:400:04:43

and deep understanding integral to all relationships that endure.

0:04:430:04:47

We had trust, we had great seriousness, we had wild laughter.

0:04:480:04:52

I talked, he listened.

0:04:520:04:54

He talked, I heard him.

0:04:550:04:57

I spoke with him so I could speak for him.

0:04:580:05:01

Ours was a language never diminished by cliche.

0:05:010:05:04

He understood how short life is and therefore how wonderful.

0:05:040:05:09

He taught me how it was possible to find beauty in an eight foot cell.

0:05:100:05:15

The play of light, the geometry of shape,

0:05:160:05:19

the music in prison sound.

0:05:190:05:21

But not any more.

0:05:230:05:25

None of this now.

0:05:260:05:27

He can't talk to me

0:05:280:05:30

so I don't know what he thinks or who he is.

0:05:300:05:33

Your honour, Ricky Ray Rector had an IQ of 69.

0:05:370:05:40

The State of Arkansas executed him despite an appeal

0:05:400:05:43

made precisely on the same basis as this appeal.

0:05:430:05:46

Not competent to die?

0:05:460:05:47

Rudy Jones is in way better shape than Ricky Ray.

0:05:470:05:50

Your honour, Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas

0:05:500:05:53

slap bang in the middle of his first campaign for president

0:05:530:05:56

and he came home to Little Rock to consult with his conscience,

0:05:560:05:59

his wife and his God before deciding not to grant clemency

0:05:590:06:02

to a man with a reading age of four.

0:06:020:06:05

-I think we'd all...

-Ricky Ray helped the execution team find a vein.

0:06:050:06:09

Clinton could never be called soft on crime again.

0:06:090:06:13

The killing of Ricky Ray Rector was sickening political opportunism.

0:06:130:06:17

I'm sure that this court will have none of that.

0:06:170:06:19

I think we'd all prefer to be guided by God

0:06:190:06:21

than a sexually incontinent Democrat and his wife.

0:06:210:06:24

God said, thou shalt not kill. Do you know why?

0:06:240:06:26

He doesn't need DNA testing to know that one in nine men on death row

0:06:260:06:30

are exonerated completely.

0:06:300:06:31

Who do we think we are?

0:06:310:06:33

Do we think we've earned the right to kill people?

0:06:330:06:35

Do we think we're grown-up enough to play God?

0:06:350:06:38

Miss Cobbina doesn't believe in God so maybe she should confine herself

0:06:380:06:41

to the issue here which is simple and narrow.

0:06:410:06:44

-The State contend the petitioner is competent to die.

-Competent?!

0:06:440:06:47

He's a child.

0:06:470:06:49

I cannot take instructions from a child.

0:06:590:07:02

An old friend of yours was released from prison yesterday.

0:07:560:08:00

Goes by Big Ray.

0:08:010:08:02

Word is he might be interested in finding you.

0:08:040:08:07

It goes without saying, we've got your back.

0:08:070:08:10

But you're telling me anyway.

0:08:100:08:12

We might have some people on him and on you for the next few days.

0:08:120:08:16

So don't get jumpy. They're friends.

0:08:160:08:18

So I'm satisfied he understands

0:08:460:08:48

he's been sentenced to death and he knows what it means to die.

0:08:480:08:51

Thank you, Doctor.

0:08:510:08:52

What does it mean to die?

0:08:550:08:57

Heaven or hell, I guess.

0:08:570:08:58

-Where's my client going?

-Hell.

0:08:590:09:02

-What happens in hell?

-Suffering.

0:09:020:09:04

-What kind of suffering?

-Burning.

0:09:040:09:07

What does that feel like?

0:09:070:09:08

You see, the thing about the pain of hell is that it cannot be imagined.

0:09:080:09:12

That's the power, you see. Nobody knows.

0:09:120:09:14

Heaven is more beautiful than any one of us can imagine,

0:09:140:09:17

but, hell, that's way beyond our understanding.

0:09:170:09:19

How many visits did you make to examine Rudy?

0:09:210:09:23

Only needed the one.

0:09:230:09:25

-Tell me about it.

-Real thorough.

0:09:250:09:27

-How long were you there for?

-About an hour.

0:09:270:09:30

-Do you want to think about that answer?

-No.

0:09:300:09:33

When a God-fearing man like you swears on the Holy Bible

0:09:350:09:39

to tell the whole truth, it's a meaningful act, right?

0:09:390:09:43

-Right.

-Do liars go to hell?

0:09:430:09:46

-You bet.

-Make your point.

0:09:460:09:48

The witness is lying, Your Honour.

0:09:490:09:51

Miss Cobbina, this is a medical expert...

0:09:510:09:53

I treat all lying witnesses the same, expert or not.

0:09:530:09:56

How can you know it's a lie when you claim your client's too far gone

0:09:560:09:59

to know the time of day, let alone when he was with a doctor?

0:09:590:10:02

-Because I was there.

-Now, if that were true, don't you suppose

0:10:020:10:05

the doctor would have noted your presence?

0:10:050:10:07

The doctor was too far gone to know the time of day, let alone who else was in the room with him.

0:10:070:10:11

-Excuse me?

-The doctor was drunk.

0:10:110:10:13

SHOCKED GASPS

0:10:130:10:14

I doubt that.

0:10:140:10:16

We can't both be telling the truth here, can we?

0:10:160:10:19

So I'm asking you for a finding of fact on this, Your Honour.

0:10:190:10:23

Which of us is going to burn in hell?

0:10:230:10:26

Him...or me?

0:10:260:10:28

Moving on, Miss Cobbina.

0:10:300:10:32

In my opinion, Rudy Jones suffered damage to his brain

0:10:330:10:36

that severely limits his understanding of this process.

0:10:360:10:39

He doesn't know that he's going to die.

0:10:390:10:42

I'm not even sure he understands the difference between life and death.

0:10:420:10:47

Thanks.

0:10:480:10:50

Dr Ambrose.

0:10:530:10:55

Do you believe in the death penalty?

0:10:550:10:58

No, I don't.

0:10:580:11:00

Well, what if it were a member of your own family who were murdered?

0:11:000:11:03

Same answer.

0:11:030:11:04

Really? No retribution? No feelings of revenge?

0:11:040:11:08

That's why I do this work.

0:11:080:11:10

Excuse me?

0:11:110:11:13

15 years ago, my mother was raped and beaten in her own home.

0:11:130:11:17

It took three days for her to die, during which time,

0:11:180:11:21

she regained to consciousness once for a few minutes.

0:11:210:11:24

In those minutes, she spoke once.

0:11:250:11:27

"Forgive those who trespass against us", were her only words.

0:11:280:11:33

They found the man who killed her.

0:11:340:11:37

I spoke at his sentencing hearing.

0:11:380:11:40

The state tried to stop me, but I did it, anyway,

0:11:400:11:43

and asked for my mother's last wishes to be respected.

0:11:430:11:47

The jury decided the accused should live.

0:11:480:11:51

The judge overruled the jury.

0:11:520:11:55

My first execution was my mother's killer.

0:11:560:12:00

Witnessing it gave me no feelings other than...

0:12:010:12:04

..revulsion and shame.

0:12:060:12:08

Call Joshua Roberts.

0:12:170:12:18

-Dad?

-Mm-hm?

0:12:260:12:28

I want to come running with you today.

0:12:280:12:30

That's not a good idea, Dan. We run at different speeds.

0:12:300:12:33

But you promised.

0:12:330:12:36

I don't think I did, Dan.

0:12:360:12:38

You told me when I was 18, I could come running with you.

0:12:380:12:40

-How old were you when I said that?

-Seven.

0:12:400:12:42

NICK SIGHS

0:12:420:12:44

Look, er...sometimes...

0:12:440:12:46

Was it a lie?

0:12:460:12:48

In a way.

0:12:490:12:51

Have you lied to me about anything else?

0:12:540:12:55

No.

0:12:550:12:57

Daddy, swear on Rocco's life.

0:12:590:13:01

I swear.

0:13:010:13:02

And on my life.

0:13:020:13:04

I swear.

0:13:070:13:08

(OK.)

0:13:110:13:13

Er...I've been with him since he got back to the facility.

0:13:270:13:30

Kind of like a special detail.

0:13:300:13:32

And have you managed to observe the petitioner?

0:13:330:13:36

-You mean the prisoner?

-Yes.

0:13:370:13:40

Well, it's my job.

0:13:400:13:42

And what have you observed?

0:13:420:13:43

I've observed an improvement.

0:13:430:13:46

How would you characterise this improvement?

0:13:460:13:50

Sneaky.

0:13:500:13:51

I'm sorry?

0:13:530:13:54

He don't talk and he don't move none when it's doctors and lawyers.

0:13:540:13:59

When they're gone, he talks.

0:13:590:14:01

It's a miracle, or it's a lie.

0:14:010:14:04

Which do you think it is?

0:14:040:14:07

What do I know? I'm just a prison guard.

0:14:070:14:09

Any which way, seems he don't think us boys important enough to worry over.

0:14:090:14:13

All this talking you say he does in front of you,

0:14:130:14:16

it's...it's uncorroborated by independent witnesses.

0:14:160:14:19

Or in plain English,

0:14:190:14:21

it never happens when anyone else is in the room.

0:14:210:14:23

-Slipped up one time.

-When was that?

0:14:230:14:26

I don't...I don't like to say.

0:14:260:14:28

I'm afraid you're going to have to.

0:14:280:14:31

It's my understanding they'd never met before,

0:14:310:14:34

but he was real pleased to see her.

0:14:340:14:37

Who?

0:14:370:14:38

Pretty girl, up close.

0:14:380:14:41

He couldn't help himself.

0:14:410:14:42

I'm no expert, but don't look like brain damage to me

0:14:420:14:45

when a man gets roused up by a young lady.

0:14:450:14:48

Your Honour...?

0:14:480:14:49

You saw it. I saw you see it.

0:14:490:14:52

"Clemency Johnson, meet Rudy Jones", you said.

0:14:520:14:56

Putting a tear in your eye and a smile on his face.

0:14:560:14:59

There she is, sat right there.

0:15:010:15:03

Hi, Dad, it's me. It's...it's Clem. Um...

0:15:400:15:45

Something just happened.

0:15:480:15:50

BIRDSONG

0:16:080:16:11

In summary, therefore, I've heard unchallenged evidence

0:16:260:16:29

of the petitioner's response

0:16:290:16:31

to a young lady who came into his presence.

0:16:310:16:33

Which is clearly commensurate with mental competence.

0:16:340:16:37

There's been a lot of talk about heaven and hell in my courtroom today,

0:16:380:16:42

so it's sort of fitting that the quality of this evidence

0:16:420:16:45

feels like it was sent from up above with a special and particular meaning.

0:16:450:16:49

Some kind of profound and greater justice has visited us today.

0:16:500:16:55

I'm more than satisfied

0:17:010:17:02

that the petitioner's competent to be executed.

0:17:020:17:05

The stay is lifted.

0:17:070:17:09

The execution will be carried out as directed by the warden

0:17:090:17:12

of the state penitentiary 48 hours from now.

0:17:120:17:14

All rise!

0:17:160:17:18

Clem?

0:17:290:17:31

(My darling girl.)

0:17:330:17:35

It's not your fault. You know that, don't you?

0:17:420:17:45

It's not you, it's them. Yes?

0:17:450:17:48

-Yeah.

-OK?

0:17:480:17:50

This is Vernon Early.

0:17:540:17:55

Yes! Yes, it is! Hello!

0:17:580:18:01

Yes. And I heard what they did to Rudy.

0:18:020:18:05

Is, er...is this OK?

0:18:080:18:11

I mean, we all right?

0:18:110:18:13

I-I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.

0:18:150:18:17

When I testified for the state against Rudy,

0:18:170:18:20

they...they told me not to talk to nobody else. Made it like a warning.

0:18:200:18:24

There's no property in a witness.

0:18:260:18:28

I don't understand.

0:18:300:18:31

Nobody owns you.

0:18:310:18:33

You're free.

0:18:340:18:36

To talk to whoever you want to, whenever you want to.

0:18:360:18:39

You sound like Michael.

0:18:390:18:41

-Michael?

-Antwi.

0:18:410:18:43

-You knew Michael?

-Yeah. I shook his hand, heard him speak.

0:18:450:18:49

Felt like I knew him all my life. Invited him for coffee.

0:18:490:18:54

I...I heard him speak just before he died.

0:18:540:18:56

Is that right? What'd he say?

0:18:560:18:58

He said it was time to...to stand up,

0:18:580:19:01

that he'd had enough of peaceful protest.

0:19:010:19:03

Yeah. "You come for my brother, we're coming for you."

0:19:030:19:06

He talked about an alibi witness for Rudy

0:19:060:19:10

who changed his evidence after a visit from the cops.

0:19:100:19:13

Wasn't Rudy killed Mayor Anderson.

0:19:270:19:29

How do you know?

0:19:400:19:41

He was with me, fixing up the truck.

0:19:410:19:44

Are you sure about the time?

0:19:460:19:49

Yeah. Cops went by on the road outside of my place.

0:19:490:19:53

And an ambulance. There and back.

0:19:530:19:56

Rudy and me stood and watched them.

0:19:560:19:58

Where were they going?

0:19:580:19:59

Mayor Anderson's place, for the murder.

0:19:590:20:02

How long was Rudy with you before the police went by?

0:20:020:20:05

All morning.

0:20:050:20:06

So, he couldn't have been at the Anderson house when he was killed?

0:20:060:20:09

Two places at one time.

0:20:090:20:12

Seems like niggers and the devil only two know how to pull that trick.

0:20:120:20:16

See, the jury voted for the death penalty. You know why?

0:20:190:20:23

White politician killed by a black man, an all-white jury?

0:20:230:20:28

Sure. But that wasn't the real deal-closer.

0:20:280:20:32

What the jury hated most was that Rudy had tried to fix the evidence.

0:20:320:20:36

-Mm-hm.

-That he'd tried to make a good man lie on his behalf.

0:20:360:20:41

"The good nigger white folk's been calling me ever since.

0:20:430:20:47

"And my people?

0:20:480:20:50

"What they calling me?"

0:20:500:20:51

Would you like to talk about this some more?

0:20:560:20:58

(Yes.)

0:21:000:21:02

In court?

0:21:020:21:03

I like that.

0:21:100:21:12

No property in a witness.

0:21:130:21:15

Seem like the law got some poetry in it after all.

0:21:160:21:20

-Excuse me. Sorry.

-See you later.

0:21:290:21:31

-Hey.

-Hey! It's going to be OK.

0:21:330:21:37

What? How?

0:21:370:21:39

Vernon Early is going to tell the truth.

0:21:390:21:41

-You look tired.

-I'm fine.

PHONE VIBRATES

0:21:500:21:51

Are you getting enough sleep?

0:21:530:21:54

Yes.

0:21:550:21:57

Hey, it's Clem!

0:21:570:21:58

Well, I've got some good news!

0:21:590:22:01

We want everything she tells you about Rudy Jones.

0:22:030:22:06

Why?

0:22:090:22:11

Dad!

0:22:110:22:12

Who are you?

0:22:160:22:18

I'm a friend of a friend of your father's.

0:22:180:22:21

You must be Dan.

0:22:210:22:23

The last time I saw you, you were this tall.

0:22:230:22:25

-When was that?

-Maybe 15 years ago.

0:22:250:22:28

-Yeah, must be.

-NICK CHUCKLES

0:22:280:22:30

-My God! And how tall were you then?

-Ha!

0:22:300:22:32

What's funny?

0:22:320:22:34

Sorry. There's nothing funny.

0:22:340:22:37

So, how are you, Dan?

0:22:400:22:42

I'm happy now, but I was sad before.

0:22:420:22:44

Sad? Why sad?

0:22:440:22:46

Because my sister left home to go to Oxford.

0:22:460:22:49

But now she's in America with Mum because she has epilepsy.

0:22:490:22:52

They're trying to stop them from killing Rudy.

0:22:520:22:54

They tried to execute him once before, but it didn't work.

0:22:540:22:57

Oh, but now they've found a man who can prove Rudy didn't do it.

0:22:570:23:00

That's good news. What's the name of the man?

0:23:000:23:03

Vernon Early.

0:23:030:23:04

And Daddy's been lying to me.

0:23:080:23:10

That's the other reason why I was sad before, by the way.

0:23:100:23:13

Lying about what?

0:23:130:23:14

It's nothing, mate. I should, er...

0:23:140:23:16

It's not nothing!

0:23:160:23:18

I always thought you told the truth.

0:23:180:23:20

You told me how important it was never to lie.

0:23:210:23:24

But you've been lying to me my entire life.

0:23:240:23:26

There are lies and there are lies.

0:23:260:23:29

I don't understand.

0:23:290:23:31

It's been good. I'll explain it on the way home, yeah?

0:23:310:23:35

Is this where you do the press-ups?

0:23:350:23:37

Er...yeah.

0:23:370:23:38

Show him, show your friend.

0:23:380:23:41

Er...Dan, look, the press-ups...

0:23:410:23:43

It's true, isn't it?

0:23:430:23:44

You can do eight minutes?

0:23:470:23:49

Yeah.

0:23:520:23:53

Yeah! Ready?

0:23:560:23:58

Yeah.

0:23:580:23:59

NICK EXHALES OK. And...go!

0:24:010:24:04

Right, so we file with the Supreme Court for a stay.

0:24:070:24:09

-Will they grant it?

-With evidence like this, they've got no choice.

0:24:090:24:12

Then we go to Washington and we just blow them away with Vern and everything they did to him.

0:24:120:24:16

-You OK?

-Yeah.

0:24:200:24:22

Thank you.

0:24:240:24:25

NICK BREATHES HARD

0:24:270:24:28

(It's Carter...)

0:24:380:24:40

Come on, Dad.

0:24:400:24:42

-You like him, I can tell.

-Mum!

-I was watching you.

0:24:520:24:54

CLEM GIGGLES

0:24:540:24:56

You could end up living here.

0:25:020:25:03

I can't have that!

0:25:040:25:06

What would I do without you?

0:25:090:25:10

Tell me, Mum.

0:25:130:25:15

-What is happening?

-PHONE VIBRATES

0:25:180:25:21

Hello?

0:25:230:25:25

What?!

0:25:270:25:28

When?!

0:25:280:25:30

-SHE SIGHS

-Oh, God!

0:25:310:25:33

OK, yeah.

0:25:330:25:35

Yeah, OK.

0:25:350:25:37

-They've arrested Vernon.

-What?!

0:25:390:25:40

For perjury. How did they know? He only talked to us.

0:25:400:25:45

-You didn't tell anyone?

-Only Dan.

0:25:450:25:48

-Was he with Dad?

-Why?

0:25:500:25:52

Mum?

0:25:540:25:55

-Who is that?

-Dunno. Can't find him.

0:26:030:26:06

-The cars?

-My man in Swansea can't trace the owners.

0:26:070:26:11

I've never had that.

0:26:120:26:14

-What does that tell you?

-They're good.

0:26:140:26:16

It's big.

0:26:160:26:18

Nick is into something very dark.

0:26:180:26:20

But on which side of the fence?

0:26:230:26:25

HE CHUCKLES

0:26:250:26:27

Is there a fence any more, hm?

0:26:270:26:29

The police spy on the Lawrence family,

0:26:310:26:33

the royal family quite liked Hitler, so, where's the fence?

0:26:330:26:36

Our national treasures include the Kray twins and the Great Train Robbers.

0:26:360:26:41

So, who are the bad guys and who's good?

0:26:410:26:44

I do know that this is a big story.

0:26:440:26:48

She's your best friend.

0:26:520:26:54

-Our DPP.

-Yes.

-Mm.

0:26:550:26:58

My question is, when it comes down to it, which would you put first?

0:26:580:27:02

The truth, or friendship?

0:27:020:27:05

The story, or Maya Cobbina?

0:27:050:27:08

Who are you?

0:27:170:27:18

Where are you from?

0:27:220:27:24

Auchtermuchty.

0:27:290:27:31

Um...she's in America.

0:27:320:27:37

And him?

0:27:390:27:41

0:28:080:28:10

What...what is he?

0:28:110:28:13

He's a dog.

0:28:130:28:14

Huh!

0:28:160:28:17

He's called Rocco.

0:28:170:28:19

Aw! He's got a beautiful coat.

0:28:210:28:24

-So have you.

-Thank you.

0:28:240:28:26

You're white.

0:28:300:28:32

Really white.

0:28:330:28:35

I suppose.

0:28:350:28:36

Do people laugh at you?

0:28:390:28:41

No.

0:28:420:28:44

I...I have to go now.

0:28:450:28:47

OK.

0:28:490:28:51

-I don't know your name.

-No.

0:28:510:28:53

My name is Lola.

0:28:550:28:57

Please can we meet again, please?

0:29:010:29:03

Sure.

0:29:030:29:05

Here, in an hour.

0:29:050:29:06

Oh, well, I've got stuff to do, but...Monday?

0:29:060:29:10

Yes. OK.

0:29:110:29:13

Great. Right here, this bench, same time on Monday.

0:29:130:29:17

OK.

0:29:190:29:20

Bye.

Oh, hey!

0:31:080:31:09

Er...where's Clem?

0:31:100:31:13

Maya...?

0:31:170:31:19

I went to Highgate Cemetery.

0:31:200:31:22

What, just now?

0:31:240:31:25

Why?

0:31:250:31:27

George Eliot...

0:31:290:31:30

..Karl Marx...

0:31:320:31:33

..Nicholas Johnson.

0:31:360:31:38

Aged eight.

0:31:400:31:42

A dead child, Nick.

0:31:440:31:47

With the same date of birth as you.

0:31:510:31:53

The same place of birth...

0:31:550:31:57

..on his death certificate.

0:31:580:32:01

Somebody's...dead little boy.

0:32:030:32:07

Please!

0:32:160:32:17

Please!

0:32:210:32:23

Say something.

0:32:250:32:28

Oh!

0:32:340:32:35

Oh!

0:32:390:32:40

SHE QUIETLY SOBS

0:32:440:32:47

-(Sweetheart...?)

-NO!

0:32:540:32:56

-Mum?!

-(OK.)

0:32:560:32:58

Mum?

0:33:010:33:03

Mum, what's wrong?

0:33:030:33:04

Um...M-Mum had a fit.

0:33:060:33:08

SHE SIGHS

0:33:140:33:16

I stopped because of you.

0:33:160:33:18

I fell in love with you.

0:33:190:33:22

So I stopped.

0:33:220:33:23

Then they came for me again.

0:33:250:33:27

You were spying on me...the first time you said you loved me?

0:33:280:33:33

SHE SIGHS

0:33:350:33:37

When Clem was born?

0:33:370:33:40

When our little baby girl nearly died?

0:33:440:33:46

You've stolen my life!

0:33:520:33:54

Maya, you can't tell the children.

0:33:540:33:56

How will I explain that you don't live here any more?

0:33:560:33:59

-HE SIGHS

-OK.

0:33:590:34:02

OK.

0:34:040:34:06

Dan? Dan, mate?

0:34:070:34:10

Coming, Daddy.

0:34:100:34:11

When he comes in, tell him.

0:34:140:34:16

Tell him everything I've told you.

0:34:170:34:19

Er...Mum's got something she wants to tell you.

0:34:220:34:25

I love you.

0:34:360:34:38

I know.

0:34:390:34:41

Hm!

0:34:430:34:45

DOOR CLOSES

0:34:480:34:50

See, you can't do it, can you?

0:34:500:34:51

You love him too much to hurt him.

0:34:520:34:54

That...that...that's what it's like.

0:34:540:34:56

It's exactly the same for me.

0:34:560:34:58

You gave them Vern!

0:34:580:35:00

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, Maya.

0:35:000:35:02

Please, that wasn't me.

0:35:030:35:05

All right? I was with my handler,

0:35:050:35:07

-Dan was looking for me...

-Christ!

0:35:070:35:08

Yes, he was looking for me and he found us!

0:35:080:35:11

And then Dan just said it, I couldn't stop him!

0:35:110:35:13

Why do they care about Rudy?

0:35:150:35:18

SHE SIGHS

0:35:220:35:24

It all connects.

0:35:240:35:26

Where are you going?

0:35:290:35:30

No, no, no, no! No, Maya, you shouldn't be driving!

0:35:300:35:33

What?

0:35:330:35:35

You have epilepsy and you're not taking any medication.

0:35:350:35:38

Come on, it's...it's not safe.

0:35:390:35:42

Maya, I don't want you to die.

0:35:440:35:46

Get out of my way!

0:35:480:35:49

I'll be right outside.

0:36:280:36:30

He's right by my side.

0:36:400:36:42

-Who is?

-Jesus Christ.

0:36:420:36:44

Can I ask you about Michael Antwi?

0:36:460:36:47

Jesus wants to ask you something first.

0:36:470:36:49

-What does he want?

-Can he have a look at your breasts?

0:36:490:36:52

Then he'll let you ask about the golliwog.

0:36:520:36:54

Can you speak to me without Jesus interrupting?

0:36:570:37:00

Can you do that?

0:37:000:37:01

(Can you give me five minutes?)

0:37:040:37:05

(Yeah?)

0:37:070:37:08

Yeah.

0:37:110:37:12

-You pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

-He told me to.

0:37:150:37:17

Who did - Jesus?

0:37:190:37:21

My QC.

0:37:210:37:22

That would be unethical.

0:37:220:37:24

I don't know about that, but I can quote you what he said.

0:37:240:37:26

He leant forward, spoke very quietly.

0:37:260:37:28

"The evidence is very strong, the offer's very good. If you fight this,

0:37:280:37:31

"there's a high chance you'll go down for murder, which means life imprisonment.

0:37:310:37:35

"My advice is to plead guilty to manslaughter.

0:37:350:37:37

"Of course, it's entirely a matter for you."

0:37:370:37:39

Here I am, 20 years later.

0:37:390:37:41

You're a violent racist.

0:37:430:37:44

You hate me because of the colour of my skin.

0:37:460:37:48

The chances of me feeling sorry for you are very, very small.

0:37:490:37:52

But here you are, 20 years later.

0:37:520:37:55

I love violence.

0:37:570:37:58

And to be good at it, you have to be committed.

0:38:000:38:02

You can't hold back, you have to get in fast and hard,

0:38:020:38:04

-shock the fuck out of people.

-Argh!

0:38:040:38:07

Then they go down quickly and easily.

0:38:070:38:09

It's the surprise that counts.

0:38:090:38:11

The look on people's faces when they get hit by me is never pain, it's amazement.

0:38:110:38:16

That didn't happen with your boy in there, it was a faceoff.

0:38:240:38:27

'Then it was a fight.

0:38:290:38:31

'Neither of us was surprised when it happened.'

0:38:310:38:34

Yargh!

0:38:340:38:36

What are you saying?

0:38:390:38:41

What I'm saying is he gave as good as he got.

0:38:410:38:44

What...are you saying?

0:38:460:38:48

(Ask Jesus.)

0:38:510:38:52

What are you...what are you saying?

0:38:550:38:58

Show him your breasts and he'll tell you.

0:38:580:39:00

Hm.

0:39:380:39:39

When they pulled me out of the cell and took me away...

0:39:440:39:46

..your nigger boy wasn't dead.

0:39:480:39:50

I failed.

0:39:520:39:54

You failed?

0:39:570:39:59

They told me to kill him.

0:40:000:40:02

I had him on the march and then some big shot coon stepped in!

0:40:020:40:06

-Nick?

-Hm?

0:40:090:40:11

Um...why did they want him dead?

0:40:110:40:13

Why did they want Michael dead?

0:40:130:40:15

Jesus saved me from them.

0:40:180:40:20

Saved you from who?

0:40:200:40:21

From the ones who told me to kill him!

0:40:210:40:24

Who?

0:40:250:40:27

The CIA!

0:40:330:40:35

SHE EXHALES

0:40:400:40:42

SHE EXHALES

0:40:520:40:54

SHE SOBS

0:40:580:40:59

SHE EXHALES

0:41:030:41:05

Where is she?

0:41:220:41:23

LOW CHATTER

0:41:230:41:25

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

0:41:270:41:30

You wanted to meet, but you haven't said why.

0:41:320:41:35

You don't know where she is, do you?

0:41:380:41:40

She's...got more cautious.

0:41:430:41:46

It's harder to get to her. Makes my job harder.

0:41:470:41:50

What are you saying?

0:41:520:41:53

You've got to let me know more.

0:41:530:41:55

You have to let me in so I can ask the right questions.

0:41:570:41:59

What happened to Michael Antwi that night?

0:42:040:42:07

-You don't need to know.

-Do you know?

0:42:090:42:12

-No.

-Come on! That doesn't...that doesn't work any more.

0:42:140:42:18

-What?

-How do you know what to ask me if you don't know what the truth is?

0:42:190:42:23

Are you losing it, Nick?

0:42:250:42:27

Like you lost it the last time?

0:42:270:42:29

No.

0:42:300:42:31

You have to trust me.

0:42:330:42:35

Just hold your nerve.

0:42:350:42:37

What do you want?

0:42:420:42:44

I want the truth about what happened that night.

0:42:440:42:46

I know he didn't die in the cell.

0:42:480:42:50

There's something you don't know about me.

0:42:520:42:55

I'm dying.

0:42:550:42:57

I have six months.

0:42:570:42:59

What, you think I'm going to talk to you

0:43:020:43:04

because they can't hurt a dying man? I have six months life left in me.

0:43:040:43:08

I am not going to spend it with you, trying to explain the past.

0:43:080:43:11

I could witness summons you.

0:43:110:43:14

You could, but you're a decent human being.

0:43:140:43:19

You won't do that to me.

0:43:190:43:21

OK, just forget that I'm a lawyer and that you're a police officer.

0:43:220:43:28

Just the truth now. No-one else, just you and me.

0:43:290:43:34

They pulled him out the cell.

0:43:420:43:44

Go, go. Just get in there, get him out!

0:43:440:43:48

Go! Go! Go!

0:43:480:43:51

Get him off! Get off!

0:43:510:43:54

-Hold him!

-Hold him down!

0:43:540:43:59

-Get his legs! Hold him!

-Stay still!

0:43:590:44:03

-Argh!

-Stop struggling!

0:44:030:44:07

-Stay still!

-Hold him!

0:44:070:44:11

We got him, we got him!

0:44:130:44:17

-Stay still!

-It's fine.

-Hold him.

-Stay still!

0:44:170:44:21

Who put Michael in the cell with Peter Mackie?

0:44:270:44:32

It starts with a mistake.

0:44:330:44:35

Good people make a mistake.

0:44:370:44:40

But the mistake isn't it. That's not the story.

0:44:410:44:44

You've been trying to prosecute the mistake

0:44:470:44:49

when you should be going after what happened afterwards.

0:44:490:44:52

Trimble put them in a cell together, but he'd be the wrong man.

0:44:550:45:00

Start with the wrong man.

0:45:020:45:04

Thank you.

0:45:090:45:12

That's how he died.

0:45:190:45:21

He was alive when he came out of the cell.

0:45:240:45:27

The police officers who pulled him out,

0:45:270:45:30

they thought he was fighting them.

0:45:300:45:32

He was struggling to breathe

0:45:340:45:37

and they took his struggles for resistance.

0:45:370:45:40

So, the held him down, his chest pressed hard against the floor.

0:45:400:45:45

Positional Asphyxiation is the term.

0:45:480:45:53

Justice. Finally.

0:45:590:46:03

No.

0:46:050:46:06

I need to ask your permission for something.

0:46:080:46:11

Yes?

0:46:120:46:14

Not to prosecute the men who did this.

0:46:150:46:19

Why?

0:46:220:46:24

Because there are bigger fish.

0:46:240:46:27

Much bigger, much more dangerous, untouched by guilt or remorse.

0:46:270:46:33

Those are the people that should pay for Michael's death.

0:46:330:46:37

You are like a daughter to me.

0:46:420:46:44

I lost a son and gained a daughter.

0:46:460:46:50

The answer is yes.

0:46:530:46:56

Thank you for seeing me, Mr Trimble.

0:47:490:47:52

I know why you're here.

0:47:520:47:54

I've been waiting for this.

0:47:560:47:59

There's a tape.

0:48:020:48:04

Right. Do you know where is it?

0:48:060:48:09

It's here. I've got it.

0:48:090:48:12

Can I have a look?

0:48:130:48:16

I don't understand. I can't hear what he's saying.

0:48:480:48:51

There's no sound.

0:48:510:48:53

"Take the hit," he says. The Scotsman.

0:48:530:48:56

And I did.

0:48:560:48:59

Who is he?

0:48:590:49:01

I don't know. I mean, I can't find him.

0:49:010:49:03

He was there on the day and I thought

0:49:030:49:05

-he must be the Duty Inspector.

-You've looked for him?

0:49:050:49:08

Of course - for 20 years. There's nothing.

0:49:080:49:11

-Take the hit for who?

-Well, I don't know.

0:49:140:49:17

I can't find the Scotsman, so I can't find anything else.

0:49:170:49:20

Take the hit for what?

0:49:200:49:22

He put Michael Antwi and Peter Mackie in the cell together.

0:49:250:49:28

Are there any other tapes?

0:49:390:49:41

All gone.

0:49:410:49:43

They're pawns - Mackie, Rose, Trimble.

0:49:580:50:02

They're all foot soldiers, all three.

0:50:020:50:04

Well, why have you come back here?

0:50:040:50:06

I don't trust anyone else.

0:50:060:50:08

You could go home...

0:50:080:50:10

Have you got enough on them?

0:50:140:50:16

I could prosecute them all tomorrow - the broken man, the dying man,

0:50:160:50:21

the man who doesn't know who he is unless Jesus or the CIA tells him.

0:50:210:50:24

How did he get like that? How did you get like this?

0:50:240:50:29

Who's responsible?

0:50:290:50:30

Julia?

0:50:380:50:39

'I need to see you. It's really important Maya.'

0:50:390:50:42

Where did you get this?

0:50:510:50:53

A colleague took it.

0:50:530:50:55

The Scotsman.

0:50:590:51:00

What? Who's the Scotsman?

0:51:010:51:05

Can I take this?

0:51:060:51:08

Yeah, yeah. It's a copy.

0:51:080:51:10

What's happening, Maya, hm?

0:51:120:51:16

-Mum?

-Hello.

0:51:420:51:45

-I waited up for you.

-Aw!

0:51:450:51:48

-You found him.

-What are you talking about?

0:51:580:52:01

What is Dad doing with him? Where did you get this?

0:52:010:52:04

Who is he?

0:52:050:52:07

The man who found Rocco.

0:52:070:52:09

He was here in the house?

0:52:110:52:13

Yeah. Obviously.

0:52:130:52:16

Mum?

0:52:180:52:20

-You raped me.

-What? No.

0:52:330:52:36

-Yes.

-No, Maya, I...

0:52:360:52:38

Stop saying my name.

0:52:380:52:40

You are a rapist.

0:52:400:52:43

I gave my consent...

0:52:430:52:45

I fell in love with someone who isn't you.

0:52:450:52:50

Who are you?

0:52:500:52:52

I can't tell you about that.

0:52:550:52:57

That is a choice. You've chosen them over me.

0:52:570:53:00

-No, no, no. It's not a choice.

-It's always a choice.

0:53:000:53:02

They'd kill me if they knew I'd disclosed to you!

0:53:020:53:05

But you tell them everything about me. Isn't that right, Nick?

0:53:050:53:08

Nothing held back.

0:53:080:53:10

What have you told them about Michael Antwi?

0:53:120:53:15

Nick?

0:53:170:53:19

Abigail Strickland was found dead two minutes away from where

0:53:210:53:26

I was supposed to talk to her about Michael Antwi.

0:53:260:53:29

She was coming to see me. Was that you?

0:53:290:53:33

Huh?!

0:53:340:53:37

Who's this?

0:53:380:53:41

Where did you get this?

0:53:430:53:44

What's his name?

0:53:440:53:47

What's his name?

0:53:470:53:49

They killed her.

0:53:530:53:56

You killed her.

0:53:560:53:57

An ex-crack addict overdosing on heroin down some shitty alley?

0:54:000:54:05

Couldn't they do better?

0:54:050:54:08

You're still doing it, aren't you?

0:54:100:54:12

You tell them everything and you tell me nothing.

0:54:130:54:18

You have chosen!

0:54:180:54:20

What kind of a monster are you?

0:54:200:54:22

This, this is what I have done for you.

0:54:380:54:40

Because I love you so much and I could not bear to see you hurt.

0:54:400:54:43

What's this?

0:54:430:54:45

I loved him.

0:54:450:54:47

You would have loved him. He was a great man.

0:54:480:54:53

The children would have had a grandfather.

0:54:530:54:56

And I didn't even go to his funeral.

0:54:560:54:59

I loved him so much. This is all I've got left.

0:55:070:55:10

Maya, they forced me to come back.

0:55:100:55:15

They threatened me. They blackmailed me.

0:55:150:55:18

-Nobody can know the truth.

-That is not for you to decide.

0:55:180:55:21

All right, well, this is what will happen if it the truth gets out.

0:55:210:55:24

-I'm not listening to you, I...

-I can say this! I'm allowed to say this!

0:55:240:55:27

-Shut up!

-I'm allowed to say this. I'm allowed.

0:55:270:55:29

They're my children too!

0:55:290:55:31

It will be the end of the Antwi investigation.

0:55:310:55:34

It will be the end of Rudy, cos they will make damn sure

0:55:340:55:36

they kill him a second time round.

0:55:360:55:38

It will be the end of our family - Dan, Ella, Clemmie, destroyed.

0:55:380:55:41

You've imagined this and you've rehearsed it.

0:55:410:55:43

Yeah, of course, I have.

0:55:430:55:45

I have lived in fear of this moment happening for all our time together.

0:55:450:55:49

The more I've loved you, the bigger the fear.

0:55:490:55:52

I've looked at the smiling faces of our kids

0:55:520:55:54

and I've been terrified, that they would find out.

0:55:540:55:58

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Nothing uncontaminated.

0:55:580:56:02

You cannot let this out.

0:56:060:56:08

Oh!

0:56:080:56:10

I'll never trust you again.

0:56:400:56:43

I will never sleep in the same bed as you again.

0:56:430:56:46

You will never touch me.

0:56:480:56:50

But you're right...

0:56:550:56:57

..we have to stay together.

0:56:590:57:01

You have trapped me.

0:57:020:57:04

Mark?

0:57:190:57:21

What?

0:57:230:57:25

Hold on.

0:57:270:57:30

Vernon Early is dead.

0:57:330:57:36

He died of a heart attack in a police station.

0:57:390:57:43

Another black man, another heart attack.

0:57:450:57:49

You did this.

0:57:490:57:50

Who's next, Nick?
