0:00:51 > 0:00:54Jay's a witness for the prosecution and the Old Bill
0:00:54 > 0:00:57want to interview everyone. We've got to make sure we say the same thing.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Keep it brief. "Yes" and "No" answers, you got it?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I still just can't believe Ben did it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07It was an accident. And he didn't know what he was doing. OK?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hold on, that's why he was acting so weird that night.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11You know, when I saw you together. He hugged me.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm going to get Ben to change his statement anyway.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Why? Why would he change his statement if he did it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Because this is Ben we're talking about! He can't hack it inside.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- And you didn't know what he'd done? - No. Course I didn't.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Cos come to think of it, Phil, you were acting weird that night, too.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I'd just got out, hadn't I? My head was all over the gaff.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Where you going?- Out!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35SHE SIGHS
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- She all right?- Yeah, she's fine.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Just do what I said with the Old Bill, yeah?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And don't tell them that you saw me with Ben that night.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Why? Why not?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Because Marsden would love to pin this on me.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And I can't save Ben from the inside of a cell, can I?
0:01:52 > 0:01:53What about Jay?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57I'll deal with Jay when he gets the guts to show his face.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Says that one of them has been charged with murder
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and the other with perverting the course of justice.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- It's pretty obvious who the murderer is.- Who?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Ben!- How can you be so sure?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Like father, like son!- Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Jay's father was no angel. - What did Heather ever do to you, eh?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Her poor child.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Why, Jay?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04That boy's got a nerve.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Jay. Jay. Come here, come here.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Thought it was all going to kick off out there for a minute.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Why'd you clear off like that yesterday? After your hearing?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I just couldn't face...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So where'd you kip, then?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Didn't. Just wandered about.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Listen, thanks. For telling the courts I could stay with you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- How's Lola? - Yeah. Yeah. She's fine.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Look, Jay, take these,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00get yourself back to the flat.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01What about my stuff?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I'll pop round and get it for you later.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06No. I'll do it.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Jay, you know you're not supposed to speak to any of them.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I need to see Phil!- I ain't too sure he's keen on seeing you right now!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15He'll understand.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30You OK?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Just come home, eh?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Home?!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Are you going to be all right with the Old Bill?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54I won't forget this.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Why don't you go find Jay?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09What do you mean he's been released?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'm sorry but I'm not at liberty to give you further details.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Mr Cotton...
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Don't do anything stupid.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Oi!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Did you know about this?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Do you really think I'd let Amy live under the same roof if I knew?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Maybe Amy should come and stay with me for a while then.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Look, thanks for the offer, yeah? But we'll be all right.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40You moved on already?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Oh. Ian's a mate. Offered us a place to stay.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47But it isn't as good as your place.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49He hasn't even got any decent video games!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Look, you can come round mine and play video games
0:05:52 > 0:05:54whenever you want.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- D'you want to meet up for a drink later?- You buying?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Maybe. One for the road.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- You leaving?- We're ALWAYS moving around.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So, you were right then?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Er, no one's been convicted yet!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Christian'll have to call Jane, let her know.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Can't say I'm that surprised. Come on, Ben was always a bit... twisted.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22You can't tell me that Phil didn't know that he'd done it!
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Conspiracy theories started already?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Still, gives busy-bodies like you something to do I suppose. Thank you.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Come on, darling.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Wait there, won't be long, baby. Hey.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- I thought maybe you'd left. - Trying to get rid of me?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49No. I like having you here.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51But?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54But what Dad needs right now is stability and routine.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Well, it's nice to see you're concerned about him after all.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02But maybe you should tell him to his face, huh?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Right now, I think we should be more worried about what your dad's going to do when he sees this.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Sees what?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Strolling around like he doesn't have a care in the world!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And to think he was seeing Abi...
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- makes my blood run cold.- Somebody should teach that boy a lesson.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Mob rule now, is it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Thought you'd have known better. - You defending him now?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30No, I'm not defending him!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Nobody could defend what he did!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36But an eye for an eye and soon the whole world'll be blind.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well then, what am I supposed to do? Huh?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Let justice take its course. - Justice?!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I tell you what,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49why don't I cook us a nice dinner? Take our mind off things, eh?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I don't think so.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Hey.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03Why don't you go back to bed?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Or maybe you could see a doctor? See if he can give you something to help you sleep?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I've let him down.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15This is not your fault.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Sharon, I could have done more.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21What could you have done?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25I should... I should have...
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I should've... - You couldn't have known!
0:08:33 > 0:08:34When am I going to feel better?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You really should see a doctor, Ian.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- I don't want any pills!- OK,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45OK. No pills.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47But maybe you should talk to someone.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49After everything you've been through.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54No, no. I don't, I don't want to talk to anyone. OK?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58I don't want to talk to doctors. I don't want to talk to you. I want you to go.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Leave me alone. I want you to go.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16What you doing here?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19I thought...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You thought you were going to get a hero's welcome, did ya?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I thought...- You thought what? What did you think, eh?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I thought that you'd understand!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Oh yeah! Yeah! I DO understand. You've stitched up my son!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Ben TOLD me to make my statement! - What do you mean he told you?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44When we were being interviewed, he wrote me a letter telling me to tell the police everything.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47But I didn't say you were there. Didn't even mention you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- This has got nothing to do with me. This is Ben we're talking about! - This is what Ben wants!
0:09:51 > 0:09:55What Ben wants?! Ben don't KNOW what he wants! Ben ain't right in the head. You know that.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And I know that! Ben weren't right in the head the night he smashed Heather's head in!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Ben ain't right sticking his hands up to this now. But we can help him.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You and me. Do you understand me? Because you...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08you are going to change your statement.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- I can't do that, Phil. - Well, I think you can.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17What are you going to do? Beat me up?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Go on then! If it'll make you feel better! It won't change anything!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- This is the one decent thing Ben's done!- Decent?! Stupid more like!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ain't you just a bit relieved all this is over?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Because I am. There's no more lies. No more secrets.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33This is what Ben wants! And it's best for the whole family!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Tell you what - you do this, and you ain't a part of this family.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40If you do this, you're nothing more than a grass!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42And if your old man thought that,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45he'd be turning over in his grave.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You can leave that and all!
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I said, you can leave this lot here and all.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- That's my stuff!- No, it ain't.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56It's mine. Cos one way or another, I paid for it, didn't I?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57If you do this, walk out that door,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01and you leave the same way you came in. With nothing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Well, I don't need you. Cos I've got Billy!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Billy!? You think Billy can protect you from that lot out there?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08The only person who can do that is me!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11All you've got to do is change your statement!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20No.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23They can rip you to shreds for all I care!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42That's it. Keep running!
0:11:43 > 0:11:48En route to this family dinner, you stopped at the Minute Mart on Bridge Street, is that correct?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yeah. To get some crisps and booze and...
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Yeah, that's right.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59And then you went straight back to the house?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Where else d'you think I'm gonna go?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Yes.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Did you see anybody on the street between leaving the Minute Mart
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and arriving back at the house?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13No.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19And Mr Mitchell arrived at the party with Ben and Jay?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Yeah. - You didn't find that odd?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27No.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30How would you describe Ben's state of mind when he arrived?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I don't know what you mean.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Well let me help you out, shall I?
0:12:35 > 0:12:40According to others present he was "laughing and joking".
0:12:40 > 0:12:42That ring any bells?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46He made some joke about...
0:12:46 > 0:12:50"Where's Hev? It's not like her to miss a free meal".
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Rather callous, don't you think,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55considering he knew she was dead?
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Yes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26How could you do it, Jay?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Huh?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30How could you?!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33To Heather of all people!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Huh?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40That woman never hurt anybody at all in her life!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Why? Why?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44WHY?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51There you go, babe.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I didn't mean to...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- I know. I know.- I am sorry...- Ian,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02we're old friends, you don't have to apologise.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05But what's important right now is that you have your family around you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Yeah, you and little Dennis are welcome to stay as long as you like.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I know.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Lunch is in the oven. - Where are you off to?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Out.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I think he can manage without me.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I think your dad would prefer it if you stayed.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Why? He doesn't need ME.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36You know, maybe it's best for everyone if I wasn't here.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38You're just going to leave?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I thought that's what you wanted.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Sooner or later, you've got to clear the air with your dad.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46You've got to stop punishing him.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48And it's like you said, he needs his routine.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So, it's best I wasn't here.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But you will keep in touch?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I won't be going far.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And you'll be around to keep an eye on him?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Your dad still needs me.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05I'll be around a while to help share the burden. OK?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Heather was just stood there...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30trying to calm him down...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35trying to help him like she always did...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and suddenly he had the photo frame in his hand...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45For a split second
0:15:45 > 0:15:50everything just... went into slow motion.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I saw him swing it towards her.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02And I couldn't stop him.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07I wanted to, but I couldn't...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Then everything sped up again...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Heather was just lying there on the floor.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23And once...
0:16:24 > 0:16:30once the shock wore off, once it all sunk in...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Ben was just like this little kid...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38like a little kid who didn't know what he'd done...
0:16:41 > 0:16:44and he needed me...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49my little kid brother needed protecting...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52from himself...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I didn't know what to do...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04There were times I wanted to give him in but...
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Why didn't you? Hmm?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Why do bad things happen to good people? Hmmm?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24What about bad people?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Their lives just a bed of roses?
0:17:29 > 0:17:34What about... what about pure evil people?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39No. You are not evil, Jay.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I still remember you, you know.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55This little kid, angry,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58cheeky, sometimes disrespectful...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Me and Yolande taking you in all those years ago.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I always knew you had good in you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Just as my...
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Just as my son, Paul.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yes Jay, I've seen you grow into a fine young man.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You're kind. You're honest.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Compassionate.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34And people will remember that again.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35In time, though.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Who's going to look out for me now? Phil hates me.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Jay.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You're not alone, son.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00OK? You're not alone.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Well?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Everyone toed the line.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14How'd you get on with Jay? Right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Then I think it's time you started to consider a reduced sentence.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Otherwise, Ben's looking at ten years. Minimum.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Diminished responsibility's your best bet.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Ben's previous psychiatric report, coupled with
0:19:29 > 0:19:30his state of mind after the event
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- will all be in your favour and... - No. Ben ain't..
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- he ain't going inside.- Phil!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38You've got to face facts!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Just find a way to get me in there.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I thought you were leaving.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Change of plan.- You outstayed your welcome at Ian's place?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Well, I never like to stay in one place too long.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Told you!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Always moving around.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06There's always my place.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Do you do breakfast and all? - Well, if you stay around long enough
