0:01:33 > 0:01:34I'll be back, I'll be back.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37For you.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39It's not really my thing, John.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'll have a large Scotch, please, love.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47I reckon she's sweet on me.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Thank you.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Is this about Gemma?

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Is what about Gemma?

0:01:56 > 0:01:57She broke your heart, John,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00but you're not going find what you're looking for

0:02:00 > 0:02:01at the bottom of a glass.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Hey, look at us. Your misery must be catching.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Cheers.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48CLANKING

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Move out the way.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13HE SHOUTS OUT

0:03:14 > 0:03:16SHOUTING AND WHISTLING

0:03:26 > 0:03:28MUFFLED SHOUTING AND WHISTLING

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Ta. You're a life saver.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34You married to a policeman, then?

0:03:36 > 0:03:37I AM a policeman.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45George, a word.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yes, sir.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Good luck.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55I just wanted to see how you're coping with the reorganisation.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Did they find some room for your team in the new office?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Barely, sir. We're living out of boxes.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01It'll settle down.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Change is always hard, and if we want progress...

0:04:05 > 0:04:08You might call it progress, I call it wasting police time.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14There was a time when it would have been you up there.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26There's something else, George.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31We need a decision about your retirement.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37With respect, sir, I'm not going to go a minute before you make me.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39All the greats know when to hang up their gloves.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43We do need you to set a date for your retirement, George.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44I'm sorry.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Sorry, sir... I didn't mean to intrude...

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Rachel, this is Assistant Chief Constable Nicholls.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Sir, Detective Sergeant Rachel Coles.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I've heard all about you, Sergeant.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- George.- Sir.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Are you leaving us, sir?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Don't say anything to John just yet.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13I want to talk to him myself.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Detective Chief Inspector?- Yeah?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17There's a body been found up on the Tees.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20All right. Get John for me.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21Right.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31..five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

0:05:31 > 0:05:32CHEERING

0:06:04 > 0:06:05- Here you are, John.- Thanks, Gov.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11You'll want to mind your nice clothes, officers.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13All kinds of crap round here.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14You're in charge?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Yeah. Tommy Norton, General Manager.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'm Detective Chief Inspector Gently.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21That is DI Bacchus. DS Coles.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23What were the men doing when they found the body?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25We used to dump our waste down there,

0:06:25 > 0:06:27but a German company wants to buy us

0:06:27 > 0:06:30and they're very hot on health and safety,

0:06:30 > 0:06:31so we're cleaning it up.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- And this tank was sealed until today, yeah?- Yeah.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37We'll need the exact date it was sealed

0:06:37 > 0:06:39and, er, get onto missing persons.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Whatever's in there has preserved most of the body

0:06:41 > 0:06:44but the fumes coming off it could take out half the mortuary.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46We'll have to do the postmortem out here, on site.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Can we get a look at that watch? - Yeah.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15"To A.L with love."

0:07:15 > 0:07:17A.L, does that mean anything to you?

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Alistair.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Who's Alistair?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Alistair Liddell. He worked here.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30He was a friend. A good friend.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31When did he go missing?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35December '62. Around the Big Freeze.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38But he's not missing.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40He was murdered by his wife.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you remember it?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I do, yeah.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51It was one of my first cases I worked on in CID.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Could it be him? Alistair Liddell.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Aye, maybe...it's possible.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Aye, it was a big story up here. Listen to this, right.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Wife killed him at home, whilst the kid was asleep upstairs in bed.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Can you believe that?

0:08:07 > 0:08:08She confessed to it,

0:08:08 > 0:08:11although she didn't say what she did with the body, of course.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yeah. Eve, her name was, that's right.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Where is she now?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Ah, she's serving life at Thurston nick.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Rare to get a conviction without a body. Very rare.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Here you are, Alistair Liddell.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33He was last seen drinking in the Victoria Arms,

0:08:33 > 0:08:38which is up in Ouston Hill. It was a Saturday night in December.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Here you go.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Thank you!

0:08:42 > 0:08:43What's this?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Frothy coffee, sir. It's from the machine.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47It's Italian.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yesterday I didn't have a chair -

0:08:49 > 0:08:52today all I ask is to have my tea made by a human.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55And that's never been Italian.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm not supposed to waste my time fetching things, sir.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's in the new regulations and I'm supposed to be doing...

0:09:01 > 0:09:02All right.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Get some biscuits.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07So, Alistair disappeared. Didn't turn up for work Monday morning.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Now, his wife didn't report him missing.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14She claimed that she hadn't seen him since he left for the pub.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20It's not the most flattering of photographs.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24But the neighbour said that she heard Alistair and Eve arguing,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26at home, after he got back from the pub.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29So she was lying about not seeing him.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32And then we searched the house and found some, some rags,

0:09:32 > 0:09:34some cleaning rags.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Can you move, please?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39And they were soaked in blood. His blood type.

0:09:40 > 0:09:45The daughter, Marion, she said that she that walked in on her mam,

0:09:45 > 0:09:48on the Sunday morning, cleaning the kitchen floor with those rags -

0:09:48 > 0:09:53and then we found, out the back of the house, kitchen knife,

0:09:53 > 0:09:55still stained with blood.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56See.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59And?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, we couldn't lift any fingerprints clear.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04So why did she do it?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Talk was, she was having an affair.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10She went to see a solicitor, right, asking about a divorce,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12this was a week before the murder,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15he sent her packing - she killed him.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19Maybe it's for the money.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23The conclusion that he died in the house that night was arrived at how?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Because there was no signs of life after that.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28No sightings, no movement on his bank account.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32All right.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Come on, then. I'll drive.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43I don't know why we're doing this.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08The watch isn't conclusive. Any other form of ID?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Adult male, Alistair's height and age.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Dental records are a good match.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13I'd say this is our man.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'll do some X-rays once we get back indoors.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Cause of death?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Two deep stab wounds to the chest.

0:11:20 > 0:11:25There are some shallower wounds here, to the hands and arms.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Like he was defending himself?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Reasonable to presume. I would have, wouldn't you?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33And could those have been made with, like, a kitchen knife?

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Eight-inch blade?

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Aye, that would do it.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Right, there you are, case closed, sir.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43These records state that the tank was sealed

0:11:43 > 0:11:45at the end of December 1962.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Somebody was banking on this body never being found.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Eve Liddell used to work here in the early '50s.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57That's how her and Alistair met.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58It doesn't add up, though, does it?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Alistair's body would have been a dead weight.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03If she killed him at the house, how did she bring him here?

0:12:03 > 0:12:04Guv, we got a conviction.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Do you seriously think Eve Liddell did this on her own?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Somebody helped her - and they've been scot free for eight years.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Aye, see you later.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17Mr Norton around?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Aye, he's just on the floor inspecting the plant.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24- I can take you to him.- Thank you.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Come this way.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27Hi.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Look, our buyers are arriving in two days.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38This German deal's a lifeline for us but we've not signed it yet.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Do you know how long all this'll take?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Betty, get these typed up, would you, love?

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Certainly.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48How many people would have known those tanks were due to be sealed?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Most people on site then. Why?

0:12:51 > 0:12:52Could Eve Liddell have known?

0:12:53 > 0:12:55She stopped work when they married -

0:12:55 > 0:12:57but I suppose somebody could have told her.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00There were rumours that she was having an affair.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Perhaps seeing somebody at the plant.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06She could have had ten boyfriends down here for all I know.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08If a man's shagging another man's wife

0:13:08 > 0:13:10he's hardly likely to advertise it.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Is he, Inspector?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18You were good friends with Alistair.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20You must have known his wife, as well.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Barely. She kept herself apart.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26He'd bring her to the Christmas party and she'd stand in the corner

0:13:26 > 0:13:28with a face on, never saying a word.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Foreigners for you.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33She wasn't born in England?

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Nah, she was a Polski.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Came over after the war -

0:13:36 > 0:13:40I always thought there was something wrong with her.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41What about Alistair?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46He was our industrial chemist - made this plant what it is.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49A proper hero, too - First Airborne at Arnhem.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53But he still played football with the lads every Saturday.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Didn't deserve to end like this.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59I'll need a list of all the people who worked here

0:13:59 > 0:14:00before December 1962.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Have it sent to my office, will you?

0:14:09 > 0:14:10DCI Gently from DS Coles.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12'Gently, go ahead.'

0:14:12 > 0:14:15We have found the daughter, Marion Liddell.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I've spoken to the social worker - she was living with Alistair's

0:14:18 > 0:14:20parents, until they died.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24She's 19 now and she's studying at art college in Durham.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27She's living under a different name, Eleanor Gray,

0:14:27 > 0:14:29so we should tread carefully.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Understood. We're on our way, over.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Oh, one more thing, sir?

0:14:33 > 0:14:37Eve Liddell pleaded not guilty at trial. She retracted her statement.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46OK. Have a look at the defence case for me, will you?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Yes, sir.- Out.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Join the feminist revolution!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Join us, support our sisters!

0:14:58 > 0:15:02We want equal pay and free nurseries.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06So why did she plead not guilty?

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Because she didn't want to go to prison.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Oh, yeah, all right, state the bleeding obvious.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I mean, what was her defence? - She didn't have one.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Excuse me. Would you like to sign our petition?

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Aye, all right.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23John...Bacchus.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Roman god of wine. There you go. What's it for?

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Should you not have asked that before signing?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32We're starting a women's centre - a safe place for women.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36All right. You can donate, as well, if you like? Say, five bob?

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Five bob...

0:15:40 > 0:15:41See you.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43See you.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45The barrister knew he had a losing case.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47He didn't even put her in the witness box -

0:15:47 > 0:15:50and then, when the jury heard the confession,

0:15:50 > 0:15:52it was game over, wasn't it?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54You know how juries love a confession.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58Look at this. Right. Goldfish, OK?

0:16:00 > 0:16:01That's a cow.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Skeleton.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03What's that meant to be?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- It's abstract.- Ah, right.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- It's not to meant to look like anything.- OK.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Three years learning how to draw

0:16:11 > 0:16:12and that's the best they can come up with.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14My daughter can do better than that.

0:16:16 > 0:16:21OK, everybody, thank you very much, see you tomorrow. Sophie?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26MURMUR OF CONVERSATION

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Oh... It's a naked bird.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36Mm-hm.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Hello.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION

0:16:47 > 0:16:48That's her, there, sir.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Eleanor Gray?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Do you need me to identify him?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah...

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Do you recognise this?

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Yes.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23He let me wear it sometimes.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27I'm sorry, Marion,

0:17:27 > 0:17:30but we do need to ask you some more questions.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Why? What is there left to do?

0:17:33 > 0:17:37It's only a formality. We just need to confirm identification,

0:17:37 > 0:17:40then the coroner can release your dad for burial.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Well, no, it's, it's not quite that simple.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45You were in the house that night?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47You know I was.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Did you hear anything? Did anybody else enter the house?

0:17:51 > 0:17:54I stood up in court and told them what I saw.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03'It was the way she looked at me.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08'Like she felt nothing.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15'The last time I saw my mother she was being taken away.'

0:18:16 > 0:18:21Myszka, Myszka, forgive me. Forgive me!

0:18:24 > 0:18:29Forgive me, I'm sorry, Marion, I'm sorry! MARION!

0:18:30 > 0:18:35The way your father was found, she could have had help.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Did she have any friends? Boyfriend maybe?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40You shouldn't have come here.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42I'm the daughter of a murderer.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Reporters used to follow me.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45People watched me my whole life.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51I've got a new life now. Just let me bury my father and get on with it.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58I held on to Marion's hand for hours at the station,

0:18:58 > 0:19:01before her grandparents came to pick her up.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Um... Well, we'd just had Leigh-Ann at the time,

0:19:05 > 0:19:07and I remember thinking...

0:19:07 > 0:19:10I hope my daughter never has to go through anything like that.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12How long has it been since you saw Leigh-Ann?

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Er...

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Look, she's got another dad now.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24A better one.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Thank you.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Can we see some ID, please, gents?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Morning.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Thank you.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Thank you.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Mrs Liddell. I'm Detective Chief Inspector Gently.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47I think you already know Inspector Bacchus.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48Yes.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Do you know why we're here?

0:20:53 > 0:20:54Is it Marion?

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Has something happened to her?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59No, no, no. Marion's fine.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Have you seen her? What is she like?

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Did she say anything about me?

0:21:09 > 0:21:10Nothing you'd want to hear.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16We're here because we've found Alistair's body.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Found him? Where?

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Where do you think we could have found him?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Tell us what happened to Alistair.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35You told the police that you killed him.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Then you took back your confession.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43I made a mistake.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46How did you make a mistake?

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Did you argue with Alistair that night?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Perhaps you killed him during that argument -

0:21:59 > 0:22:02and then got somebody else to help you move the body.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Somebody you wanted to protect?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Did you talk to Marion?

0:22:10 > 0:22:11Marion testified against you.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15This is what you left her with.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18So don't try and act like the caring mother, all right?

0:22:20 > 0:22:21What have they done to him?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Look, you dumped him at the plant.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29So just tell us who helped you and then we can leave you alone,

0:22:29 > 0:22:31you can go back to your cell...

0:22:31 > 0:22:33John! John! That's enough.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Did you kill Alistair?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Thank you. Do you see what I had to deal with?

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Did you consider other suspects?

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Yes, sir. Of course we did.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Just look at the evidence against her, will you?

0:23:05 > 0:23:07And her own daughter thinks she did it.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10The way she reacted when she was shown his body.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Cos she realises she's going to spend the rest of her life inside,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14with absolutely with no parole.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Well, if that was acting, it was very convincing.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18- It looked like loss to me.- Ah, guv.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21And the story used for her conviction.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23It doesn't fit where the body was found.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Look, so somebody helped her.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Now, we can chase our tails looking for them,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30or we can move on to a proper case.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32And what if she's telling the truth?

0:23:33 > 0:23:38Guv, she's pulling the wool over your eyes. She's manipulating you.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42What, you think I'm that easily fooled, do you?

0:23:42 > 0:23:46You might let emotions cloud your judgment, I'm after the facts.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Aye, well she's foreign, isn't she? She reminds you of Isabella.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55You are out of order.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I'm sorry.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09DCI Gently about?

0:24:09 > 0:24:10No, sir.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I see he's got you working on the Liddell case.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19What's your opinion of it?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Well, um - I think Eve Liddell was tried by the press

0:24:23 > 0:24:25before it even got to court, sir.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29So, we have a reformer on our hands.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32I expect you'll be wanting to make Commander one day,

0:24:32 > 0:24:34like Shirley Becke at the Met.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Sir?

0:24:35 > 0:24:39George. I was asking DS Coles here about the Liddell case.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42She thinks Mrs Liddell didn't get a fair trial.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well, um, there were, there were...

0:24:47 > 0:24:50there were no witnesses for the defence, sir,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53and, um, well, part of the prosecution case

0:24:53 > 0:24:55were never backed up.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57They said that Eve was after Alistair's money,

0:24:57 > 0:24:59but he didn't have much to his name,

0:24:59 > 0:25:02and nobody knew anything about a boyfriend.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Without a body there should have been reasonable doubt,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06but she didn't have anybody to speak for her, so...

0:25:06 > 0:25:08It's because she was guilty, sir.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Or maybe she was the just the obvious suspect.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15I just think we should look at the evidence.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17I would like to reopen the case, sir.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19At the very least there was somebody else involved.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21At worst, the killer is still out there.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24There was a lot of press attention when Eve Liddell was sentenced.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27And already I'm fielding calls from reporters.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31So do I have your permission to carry on, sir?

0:25:32 > 0:25:34We all respect you, George.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Don't be remembered for an error of judgment.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37Sir.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Guv, we've got a result, sir.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Marion wants a body to bury.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51We should just close the case.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54If you keep talking, I'm going to start asking

0:25:54 > 0:25:58why you're so anxious to defend a flawed investigation.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Is there something I should know here?

0:26:01 > 0:26:05Because if there is, tell me - don't let me find it.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19Stand back, please.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31VAN DOORS SHUT

0:26:31 > 0:26:32ENGINE STARTS

0:26:34 > 0:26:35Mind your backs.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04So, the day that Alistair disappeared, the family were in.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07He went out to play football, then he came home at tea time,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10he then went to the pub with his team-mates from work.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Left at ten-ish. Then it's a 15-minute walk back here.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Still the same neighbours?

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Mm-hm. Mr and Mrs Willis.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22You all right?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Aye, you?- Yeah.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30So, Marion was upstairs in her bedroom

0:27:30 > 0:27:35and the neighbour said that she heard a row around 10:30.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Eve had put the radio on while she tucked Marion in for the evening.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44The prosecution made a big thing of that at court.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49Looks bad in a circumstantial case. Suggests premeditation.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Well, the thing is, sir,

0:27:50 > 0:27:54in her first statement Eve claimed that she was out at 10:30.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58- She said that she had gone for a walk.- Is that true?

0:27:58 > 0:28:01She claimed. It doesn't make any sense though, does it?

0:28:01 > 0:28:03What kind of mother leaves the kid alone in the house

0:28:03 > 0:28:04at that time of night?

0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Did you ask her to elaborate? - Yeah, of course we did.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09It was all a pack of lies.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12She didn't have an alibi and we have a witness who heard them arguing.

0:28:17 > 0:28:18The knife was outside?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Aye, over here.

0:28:22 > 0:28:23About here.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26So, either the killer threw it outside,

0:28:26 > 0:28:30thinking it wouldn't be found, or Alistair died here.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36Well, if Eve killed him, she went to a lot of trouble to hide the body,

0:28:36 > 0:28:40didn't she, so why wait till the next morning to clean up his blood?

0:28:40 > 0:28:41And why leave the knife here?

0:28:41 > 0:28:45She's not exactly a professional assassin. She panicked.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52We need to know who else was friendly with the Liddells.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Anybody who could have helped Eve move the body -

0:28:54 > 0:28:57or anybody who wanted Alistair dead, for that matter.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Caldbrook's sent over the employment records.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I can go and speak to people who used to work with Eve.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- I'll head back to the office. - No, you won't. You'll stay with me.

0:29:04 > 0:29:05Work off the effects of last night.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13You gave evidence at Eve Liddell's trial, Mrs Willis -

0:29:13 > 0:29:15you heard the argument next door?

0:29:15 > 0:29:19Patricia, please. I did my bit.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Do you know the family well, Patricia?

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Alistair went to the grammar school with Harry.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28They were next door for a few years before he died.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30And did you know Eve?

0:29:31 > 0:29:32Not really.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36She wasn't our type of people.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40Alistair was a respectable man, but they got married in a hurry,

0:29:40 > 0:29:42if you know what I mean.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45But they weren't happy?

0:29:45 > 0:29:47She killed him. Does that sound happy to you?

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Hmm. Well...

0:29:52 > 0:29:55Could you describe the argument you heard?

0:29:55 > 0:29:57It's all in the statement I gave to Mr Bacchus.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59I heard raised voices, then crashing about.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03But you are sure that the voices you heard were Eve and Alistair.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08Well, it was through the wall, so I couldn't hear clearly...

0:30:08 > 0:30:12I heard an argument. They'd argued before, but this was much worse.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Did your husband hear the argument? Harry?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17He was still at the pub with the team.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Didn't get home until much lat...

0:30:20 > 0:30:24straight after closing time, and I told him about it then.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Ah.- We heard Eve Liddell was having an affair.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Do you have any idea who she was seeing?

0:30:28 > 0:30:32No. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one.

0:30:32 > 0:30:37But you never saw her with anyone in particular? No specific rumour?

0:30:40 > 0:30:44Oh. Maybe your husband could help?

0:30:44 > 0:30:47- He wouldn't know any more about that than I do.- Ah...

0:30:53 > 0:30:54- Thanks.- Thanks.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01How much do you want to bet her husband was shagging Eve Liddell?

0:31:01 > 0:31:03She's unhappy about something.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07First she says he was home "much later" the night of the murder.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Then, he came back just after closing time.

0:31:10 > 0:31:16Hey. Her boyfriend living right next door. Perfect for a murderer.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31DOOR OPENS

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Janet Ellery? You worked at Caldbrook's with Eve Liddell?

0:31:34 > 0:31:36I'm a police officer.

0:31:36 > 0:31:37Come in.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38Thank you.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42- That's Eve.- Oh, right.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44There on the end.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47- This one?- She was 18 then, just started in the office.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51What was she like?

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Hard to get to know at first. Kept a lot inside.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57It's not surprising, given where she came from.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58How's that?

0:32:00 > 0:32:05She saw her parents shot, right in front of her, by the Nazis,

0:32:05 > 0:32:06when she was ten.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Gosh. That's a terrible thing for a child to see.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13But she wasn't who they said in the papers -

0:32:13 > 0:32:16and nobody bothered asking about him.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Who? Alistair?

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Liked to put out this heroic story about himself,

0:32:20 > 0:32:21but he wasn't a nice man.

0:32:22 > 0:32:23He abused his position.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Did he have enemies? Down at the plant?

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Aye. More than one, pet.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43All right.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46It's not illegal to serve a pint yet, is it?

0:32:46 > 0:32:49No, we're looking into the murder of Alistair Liddell.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52Alistair was in here on the night that he died.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Aye. The team had just lost the derby.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56All right, do you anybody that was with him?

0:32:56 > 0:32:58It was years ago, man.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00You should have asked us the day after.

0:33:00 > 0:33:01Yes. We should have.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Was Harry Willis in here that night?

0:33:08 > 0:33:11Oh, come on, man, will you? It's not like a punter of yours

0:33:11 > 0:33:13gets murdered every night of the week, is it?

0:33:13 > 0:33:15What do you remember?

0:33:15 > 0:33:20Do you remember anything with Harry Willis and Alistair's wife?

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Now, that was just idle gossip.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27Excuse me? You played football with Alistair.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Were you here that night?

0:33:29 > 0:33:34Aye. I'm here most nights. I'm here most days, too.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Ah, leave Robert alone, man.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Look, they got into a barney that night - Harry and Alistair.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42They'd all been drinking hard, but Alistair was worst.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45What time did Harry Willis leave here?

0:33:45 > 0:33:48I told you - I can't remember.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Do you remember this argument?

0:33:51 > 0:33:54All I remember is Harry tried to give Alistair a lift home

0:33:54 > 0:33:56because he was too drunk to walk.

0:33:56 > 0:33:57Before closing time?

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Aye, well before. Harry left soon after.

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Harry Willis. Pull him in.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Thank you.

0:34:09 > 0:34:10Thank you for being so helpful.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21'I visited Eve occasionally.'

0:34:21 > 0:34:23I was worried about her.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27I've seen it before, you see, my father had a temper so...

0:34:27 > 0:34:32People say Alistair was this hero, but, the fact is his life

0:34:32 > 0:34:36hadn't gone the way he wanted it to and he was, like, raging inside.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38My dad had a temper. I never killed anyone.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40You're saying he hit her?

0:34:40 > 0:34:42His moods were getting worse towards the end.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Well, he was under pressure - something to do with work, I think.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50But you were the one who was arguing with him the night he disappeared.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52I was trying to talk to him about Eve.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56He was already in a rage after the game, so he wouldn't listen.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Look, we know that you left the pub early.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00We know your wife lied to give you an alibi.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03If you weren't with Alistair, where were you, Mr Willis?

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Patricia thinks you were involved in this, doesn't she?

0:35:14 > 0:35:16I was with another woman that night.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19She calls herself Rose.

0:35:22 > 0:35:23I see.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26We'll need an address.

0:35:26 > 0:35:27Why didn't you tell us this,

0:35:27 > 0:35:29why didn't you say something at the time?

0:35:29 > 0:35:32Because my wife has built her life on appearances

0:35:32 > 0:35:36and she doesn't deserve to be humiliated by me.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38You could have told somebody about Alistair.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40I thought it would look bad for Eve.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Janet Ellery said that

0:35:43 > 0:35:45Alistair had enemies at the plant -

0:35:45 > 0:35:47his "good friend" Tommy Norton couldn't stand him.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Alistair was angling for the General Manager job

0:35:50 > 0:35:52and he was furious that Tommy got it over him.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55So the investigation had the wrong picture of Alistair.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57The wrong picture of Eve.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00And not a shred of evidence that wasn't circumstantial.

0:36:00 > 0:36:01No, no, no, no, hang on.

0:36:01 > 0:36:02We had her daughter's testimony,

0:36:02 > 0:36:04the murder weapon we found outside the house.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08Her own confession. And her friend said she bottled things up -

0:36:08 > 0:36:09so what if she just snapped?

0:36:09 > 0:36:10Huh?

0:36:10 > 0:36:13OK, maybe we got the motive wrong before -

0:36:13 > 0:36:16but there's still motive if he was knocking her about.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- It's a stronger case against her, if anything.- No!

0:36:19 > 0:36:22You had a theory and you made the evidence fit.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25How many times did this happen before I got here?

0:36:25 > 0:36:27How many convictions were neatly tied up

0:36:27 > 0:36:29to get the result you wanted?!

0:36:29 > 0:36:30It wasn't just me that convicted her.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32You're forgetting about my superior officers,

0:36:32 > 0:36:35you are forgetting about the judge, and 12 men of the jury...

0:36:35 > 0:36:38Aye. Have you noticed something? They're all men.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40That's just a turn of phrase, Rachel.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42Aye, well, it fits, though, doesn't it?

0:36:42 > 0:36:45A justice system that was set up by men and that is run by men.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47No wonder Eve Liddell didn't think she could tell anyone

0:36:47 > 0:36:48what was really going on.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50No, no, sorry, no, that is no excuse -

0:36:50 > 0:36:51if he was knocking her about

0:36:51 > 0:36:54then she could have left, and walked away, but she didn't.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56- So what if he hit her, a killer is still a killer.- What?

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Now, you taught me that, sir.

0:36:58 > 0:36:59She did try to leave, though, didn't she?

0:36:59 > 0:37:02She went to see a solicitor who sent her away feeling ashamed of herself.

0:37:02 > 0:37:03She had nowhere to go.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06- You're not - you're missing the point.- Enough!

0:37:06 > 0:37:08And if you say "so what" again,

0:37:08 > 0:37:11I swear you won't be working in this police force or any other one.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14OFFICER CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:37:14 > 0:37:16What?

0:37:16 > 0:37:18From Dr Anderton, sir. X-ray results.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Absolute confirmation.

0:37:25 > 0:37:26So the only thing we know for certain

0:37:26 > 0:37:29is that Alistair Liddell is our victim.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33These files, is this all of it?

0:37:33 > 0:37:34It's everything that went to court.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Well, I want to see all of it!

0:37:36 > 0:37:39Including anything that might have been buried

0:37:39 > 0:37:40in somebody's bottom drawer.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48It was a strong case, guv.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Are you all right, sir?

0:38:00 > 0:38:01Yeah. I'm fine.

0:38:05 > 0:38:06No, I'm not fine.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11I don't think justice was served here -

0:38:11 > 0:38:14but he's probably right, violence in the marriage

0:38:14 > 0:38:17could have been a reason for Eve Liddell to kill,

0:38:17 > 0:38:18whether she meant to or not.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20We have to face that possibility.

0:38:21 > 0:38:27I know it's not my place, but if Inspector Bacchus knew...

0:38:27 > 0:38:30If he thought that you might be leaving us soon,

0:38:30 > 0:38:33he might understand why you need to put this right.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36He's a policeman. He should KNOW to put it right.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39I want to talk to Marion again.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42I want to know what was really going on in that marriage.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Sir?

0:38:51 > 0:38:52Inspector Bacchus.

0:38:52 > 0:38:53Gently's man.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55I'm my own man, right?

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Your boss still raking up this Liddell thing?

0:38:57 > 0:39:00If I was my own man I'd tell him to consider what side he's on

0:39:00 > 0:39:01and play happy families.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02Yes, sir.

0:39:03 > 0:39:08You investigated the original case. What do you think?

0:39:09 > 0:39:11I think we should shut it down, sir.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13For everyone's sake.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25MUSIC: All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix

0:39:27 > 0:39:29CHATTER

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Would you care to look at our Art of Protest Exhibition?

0:39:45 > 0:39:47- I'll give you this free leaflet. - All right.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49- It's free to go on in. - Thank you.- There you go.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51Hiya.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Have you come to consciousness yet?

0:39:55 > 0:39:58There's a woman's meeting later this week, join us.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03I hope you don't mind us asking, sir,

0:40:03 > 0:40:06but I just wondered how long we've got left with you?

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Not long.

0:40:08 > 0:40:09You can't fight it?

0:40:11 > 0:40:12Not forever.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13HE LAUGHS

0:40:15 > 0:40:20My wife - Isabella - she used to love walking on the beach.

0:40:20 > 0:40:21It's where I proposed to her.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25You've never talked to me about her before.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32I told you to leave me alone.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34We're in the middle of a show.

0:40:40 > 0:40:41Who is she?

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Ah. It's a good likeness.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52VOICES ON STAIRS

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Can you give us a minute?

0:40:57 > 0:40:59What was he really like, your father?

0:40:59 > 0:41:02My father died a long time ago, Mr Gently.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07My wife was murdered a long time ago.

0:41:07 > 0:41:12The only thing I could do for her was to get her justice.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16My mother's in prison. I have justice.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18You lived with your father's family,

0:41:18 > 0:41:21you heard just one story about your parents.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24What if it that's not all of it?

0:41:26 > 0:41:29I have to ask you, Marion, did you hear anything that night?

0:41:30 > 0:41:32She turned on the radio.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34MUSIC ON RADIO

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Goodnight, Myszka.

0:41:44 > 0:41:45MUFFLED SHOUTING

0:41:50 > 0:41:53That wasn't the first time that she turned on the radio,

0:41:53 > 0:41:55was it?

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Or the first time that you hid under a blanket?

0:41:58 > 0:41:59You don't understand.

0:42:01 > 0:42:02You're asking me to remember,

0:42:02 > 0:42:06but it's like trying to hold on to a dream.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10I have nightmares where I hear him shouting,

0:42:10 > 0:42:12but I loved him, too.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14And her.

0:42:15 > 0:42:16What about her?

0:42:16 > 0:42:19A few days before he died, she dragged me up the stairs

0:42:19 > 0:42:23so hard that my arm was bleeding where I scraped it off the walls.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26She locked me in my room. I never understood it.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31I used to think there was something wrong with me, too.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35What if I'm like them?

0:42:35 > 0:42:36Both of them?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45You want a lift home?

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Nah.

0:42:48 > 0:42:53I wanted to believe she couldn't have done it - Eve.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55But what if John's right?

0:42:57 > 0:43:00We follow the evidence till we get an answer.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06I'll see you tomorrow, Rachel.

0:43:06 > 0:43:07Night, sir.

0:43:55 > 0:43:56Lisa? It's me.

0:43:58 > 0:43:59Yeah.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02I know, I know, I know...

0:44:04 > 0:44:06Yeah, I just want to speak to Leigh-Ann for a minute.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10I know, please, just for a minute.

0:44:14 > 0:44:15Right.

0:44:25 > 0:44:26Hello, sweetheart.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30Yeah, yeah. Are you all right?

0:44:32 > 0:44:35Aye, you know, I'm just, um, I'm just working late...

0:44:52 > 0:44:53HE COUGHS

0:45:09 > 0:45:12This is everything they brought over from the old station.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Do you want to let me know what you're looking for

0:45:14 > 0:45:15and I'll have it sent up?

0:45:15 > 0:45:16No. I'll look for it.

0:45:16 > 0:45:17Suit yourself.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45Welcome, gentlemen.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48Welcome, welcome to Caldbrook's.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52Karl. Karl, thank you for making the journey.

0:45:52 > 0:45:53- Guten Tag.- Guten Tag.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57What's he doing here?

0:45:57 > 0:46:00Guten Tag. It's Robert. He's bringing my lunch, Mr Norton.

0:46:00 > 0:46:01Guten Tag.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03He does it every day. I'll go tell him to go.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12- Hiya, pet.- You all right?

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Mr Norton asked if you could leave, it's a big moment for him.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16I'll see you later, thanks.

0:46:44 > 0:46:45What happened to you?

0:46:53 > 0:46:55I brought something for you.

0:47:01 > 0:47:05That's Marion, she's studying at the art school.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07I think she has a great talent.

0:47:09 > 0:47:10I write her letters.

0:47:15 > 0:47:16I never send them.

0:47:17 > 0:47:21You've seen a lot of violence in your life,

0:47:21 > 0:47:24experienced it throughout your life.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Did Alistair hit you?

0:47:37 > 0:47:40I loved him at the start. I...

0:47:42 > 0:47:45..tried to keep on loving him -

0:47:45 > 0:47:46for Marion's sake.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50But one day I just couldn't any more.

0:47:52 > 0:47:57He would... He would put his hand over my mouth and hold me down...

0:48:08 > 0:48:09And he raped you?

0:48:11 > 0:48:13I thought it was my fault.

0:48:16 > 0:48:20I should have taken Marion away - I didn't know how.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24I, I was nothing.

0:49:06 > 0:49:12In your earlier statement, you said that you left the house that night.

0:49:12 > 0:49:13Where did you go to?

0:49:14 > 0:49:16I needed some air.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21I checked on Marion and I went out for a walk.

0:49:23 > 0:49:24What time?

0:49:24 > 0:49:25I don't know. Before ten.

0:49:26 > 0:49:29I was out for an hour - maybe two.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32And nobody saw you?

0:49:36 > 0:49:38When I came back, Alistair wasn't home.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44There was a mess in the kitchen and the back door was open.

0:49:44 > 0:49:47I thought he'd gone out looking for me.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50In the morning I found his blood.

0:49:52 > 0:49:54When he was drunk sometimes he cut himself.

0:49:58 > 0:49:59I was glad he wasn't there.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05I know how that sounds -

0:50:05 > 0:50:08but I hoped he'd left us and he was never coming back.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12Why didn't you tell the police any of this?

0:50:12 > 0:50:16I tried. And they said I lied.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18They said they knew what I'd done

0:50:18 > 0:50:21and they kept asking the same questions, over and over again.

0:50:23 > 0:50:27I wouldn't say what they wanted, so, so they didn't let me sleep.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31They kept pushing and pushing, and the way they looked at me...

0:50:33 > 0:50:37The way that young sergeant looked at me -

0:50:37 > 0:50:39as if I was a monster.

0:50:42 > 0:50:47Inspector Bacchus pushed you into a confession?

0:50:51 > 0:50:53It wasn't only him.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58But he was there.

0:51:02 > 0:51:03FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:51:07 > 0:51:09I think I'm getting deja vu.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13Are you coming down with something?

0:51:13 > 0:51:17Yesterday's shirt - big night, was it?

0:51:19 > 0:51:21Are they the files from the archives?

0:51:21 > 0:51:23Mm-hm.

0:51:23 > 0:51:24Anything useful?

0:51:26 > 0:51:29If there was, don't you think I would have told you?

0:51:29 > 0:51:33I found this buried in the case files.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36A few months before Alistair died there was an accident -

0:51:36 > 0:51:38a fire at the plant.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40Guess who did the internal review?

0:51:42 > 0:51:46Tommy Norton. First thing he did as General Manager.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48Alistair signed it off.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51Looks like they hushed it all up and then fired an apprentice

0:51:51 > 0:51:52called Robert Platt.

0:51:53 > 0:51:54Should we look into it?

0:52:00 > 0:52:02It's a bloody fishing trip, isn't it?

0:52:05 > 0:52:07Come on, then.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23I know there's something wrong.

0:52:23 > 0:52:24I'm hungover.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28You're always hungover at the minute.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41I know Gemma left you - but this is different, isn't it?

0:52:42 > 0:52:45You know you can tell us. We're on the same side.

0:52:50 > 0:52:51I'm worried about my job.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56He wants to have his crusade doesn't he, George?

0:52:56 > 0:52:57You see, it's different for me.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59I was part of this investigation -

0:52:59 > 0:53:01and they'll look for someone to blame.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03It was a different time. He knows that.

0:53:03 > 0:53:04It wasn't different for him, was it?

0:53:06 > 0:53:09You should talk to him. You need to talk to each other.

0:53:12 > 0:53:13- Right, have a look at this.- Howay.

0:53:15 > 0:53:16So, there's a new nitration system

0:53:16 > 0:53:20which we replace every few years. And we...

0:53:21 > 0:53:24Mr Norton? We just had a few more questions.

0:53:24 > 0:53:27Excuse me. This is not a good time.

0:53:27 > 0:53:28Did you write this report?

0:53:31 > 0:53:33Call off the attack dog, would you?

0:53:33 > 0:53:34Answer the question.

0:53:34 > 0:53:35This fire, at the plant -

0:53:35 > 0:53:38you and Alistair concluded that Robert Platt was to blame.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41You said that he was fixing a pipe and he botched up the repair work?

0:53:41 > 0:53:44- That's right.- I think it was your fault - yours and Alistair's.

0:53:44 > 0:53:46I think you were cutting corners, weren't you?

0:53:46 > 0:53:48You don't know what you're talking about.

0:53:48 > 0:53:50Well, you wrote this report just after you got the promotion.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52A few months before Alistair died.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56Did the fire have something to do with him stepping aside?

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Look, you can tell us here now, or I can arrest you in front of everyone.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Maybe we'll tell them everyone

0:54:01 > 0:54:04that the Germans are planning on closing down the plant...

0:54:04 > 0:54:05All right!

0:54:06 > 0:54:08All right.

0:54:11 > 0:54:15Alistair thought his, his fancy education made him a genius -

0:54:15 > 0:54:18always making "improvements" to the process, never telling anyone.

0:54:18 > 0:54:22After the fire I found out he'd altered the system.

0:54:24 > 0:54:26A pipe cracked, Robert tried to fix it, but, yes,

0:54:26 > 0:54:28the fire was Alistair's fault.

0:54:31 > 0:54:33I agreed not to tell anyone

0:54:33 > 0:54:35if he supported me to take over as General Manager.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37Are you satisfied?

0:54:38 > 0:54:41I brought Alistair down a peg or two those last few months.

0:54:41 > 0:54:45He hated it, but I won. And I didn't do anything criminal.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49I had no reason to kill him - so, if you'll excuse me.

0:54:49 > 0:54:53What about Robert Platt? He had a motive.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Robert never knew the truth.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59And he was in the pub with me all night - ask anyone on the team.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Now, if you don't mind.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05Go on.

0:55:05 > 0:55:06(Prick.)

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Gentlemen, I'm really sorry...

0:55:32 > 0:55:35You pushed her. You pushed her till she broke, didn't you?

0:55:36 > 0:55:39You and your DCI decided that Eve Liddell was guilty,

0:55:39 > 0:55:42but you didn't have a strong enough case without a body.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44So you bullied her into a confession.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47No, no, we thought we were right.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49All the evidence pointed to her.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51Now we've got nothing.

0:56:06 > 0:56:07What's this?

0:56:07 > 0:56:12It's a statement from a lad called Graham Arthur.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14He was up by the Liddell house that night.

0:56:14 > 0:56:18He said that he saw a woman on the street outside.

0:56:18 > 0:56:21Now, the timing was wrong, so I didn't think it was relevant.

0:56:21 > 0:56:24And then when she confessed, it was a loose end.

0:56:24 > 0:56:28And I just... I went back to tie it up.

0:56:28 > 0:56:32So, you got him to change his story. Eh?

0:56:34 > 0:56:35Yeah.

0:56:37 > 0:56:40Yeah, I told him to say that he was mistaken.

0:56:41 > 0:56:47This could have been Eve leaving the house. This is reasonable doubt.

0:56:48 > 0:56:52So how long were you going to hold on to this, eh?

0:56:52 > 0:56:54Did you think you might just lose it?

0:56:54 > 0:56:56And let an innocent woman rot in prison?

0:56:56 > 0:57:00Do you think you decide when to dispense justice?

0:57:00 > 0:57:02You're not a real policeman.

0:57:03 > 0:57:07You mean I'm not you. You're a saint, aren't you?

0:57:07 > 0:57:10But you know what? Saints in the Bible, they're all right,

0:57:10 > 0:57:12but in real life no-one likes them much.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15I serve justice. That's my life.

0:57:15 > 0:57:16Yeah. And it's all that you've got.

0:57:16 > 0:57:20Do you know, you're an embarrassment.

0:57:20 > 0:57:22You're an accident waiting to happen.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25Just look at the state of you, with your drinking.

0:57:25 > 0:57:27You want to pull yourself together, Sergeant.

0:57:27 > 0:57:29Except I'm not your sergeant any more, am I?

0:57:29 > 0:57:31Hey, do you know why he stayed up here in the North...

0:57:31 > 0:57:33- Don't.- ..Rachel?

0:57:34 > 0:57:35Go on.

0:57:35 > 0:57:38To chop me down. That's what he said.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40He'd lost everything, he'd lost his wife.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43He was on his way out of the force, and then he found himself a project.

0:57:43 > 0:57:46I'd been given a transfer to the Met - but no...

0:57:47 > 0:57:51..no, he needed something to restore meaning into his life.

0:57:51 > 0:57:54To make up for the guilt he felt knowing that his crusades

0:57:54 > 0:57:56are the reason his wife was murdered.

0:57:58 > 0:58:00Get out.

0:58:03 > 0:58:06You know, you tried to shape me into your image -

0:58:06 > 0:58:08- well, are you happy now? - John...

0:58:08 > 0:58:10I've lost Gemma, I've lost my daughter

0:58:10 > 0:58:12- and this job is the only thing I have.- John, don't.

0:58:12 > 0:58:14And what about Rachel?

0:58:14 > 0:58:16What's she going to do when she has to decide between being

0:58:16 > 0:58:19- a detective and having a family? - John, don't.

0:58:19 > 0:58:22You've put impossible expectations on her, just like you did with me.

0:58:22 > 0:58:23John!

0:58:23 > 0:58:24I thought you had a future.

0:58:24 > 0:58:27Ah, well, it's not your future, any more, is it, George?

0:58:27 > 0:58:29Look, the old chief.

0:58:29 > 0:58:33What's going to be left behind when you go? Nothing.

0:58:35 > 0:58:37You're finished here.

0:58:37 > 0:58:40I'm recommending you for suspension.

0:58:40 > 0:58:41Get out of my sight.

0:58:42 > 0:58:44John...

0:58:53 > 0:58:55It's my choice to be here, sir.

0:58:57 > 0:58:59This job is important to me.

0:58:59 > 0:59:01And not I'm trying to be like you, or anyone else.

0:59:11 > 0:59:14There's something that Eve Liddell still isn't telling us.

0:59:14 > 0:59:17I mean, why would you leave a child alone in the house?

0:59:19 > 0:59:22We need to get Marion to go and visit her mother,

0:59:22 > 0:59:24then we'll get to the truth.

1:00:38 > 1:00:39You're not meant to be in here.

1:00:39 > 1:00:41I need your help, please, mate.

1:00:43 > 1:00:45I want an address for Graham Arthur.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47He used to live up in Ouston Hill.

1:00:47 > 1:00:50Then he moved about five years ago with his parents.

1:00:50 > 1:00:51Parents' names?

1:00:51 > 1:00:53I don't know.

1:00:53 > 1:00:55So, the Arthur family, and they could be anywhere?

1:00:55 > 1:00:56I'll call back in for it.

1:00:59 > 1:01:00All right.

1:01:00 > 1:01:01Thank you.

1:01:24 > 1:01:25Are you all right?

1:01:25 > 1:01:27Mm.

1:01:40 > 1:01:41What happened?

1:01:43 > 1:01:44I'm leaving.

1:01:46 > 1:01:47You won't change my mind.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52As soon as you walked into the studio that day,

1:01:52 > 1:01:54I knew it was over for me here.

1:02:02 > 1:02:04You have a real talent, Marion.

1:02:07 > 1:02:10Do you really want to leave art school?

1:02:10 > 1:02:13Do you really want to give up on all this?

1:02:13 > 1:02:16I just want to live me own life.

1:02:16 > 1:02:18Well, then, you can't run away this time.

1:02:21 > 1:02:26I believe that your mother will tell the truth,

1:02:26 > 1:02:28but only if she knows you want to hear it.

1:03:15 > 1:03:18Marion is here because she wants to know the truth...

1:03:20 > 1:03:21..whatever that might be.

1:03:23 > 1:03:24Myszka.

1:03:27 > 1:03:28Forgive me.

1:03:36 > 1:03:38What do you want forgiveness for?

1:03:43 > 1:03:45I loved you so much.

1:03:47 > 1:03:49From before you were born.

1:03:51 > 1:03:53You used to kick me in the middle of the night...

1:03:56 > 1:04:00Your father loved you, too. It was just me he couldn't love.

1:04:02 > 1:04:05I didn't want you to know what he did to me.

1:04:05 > 1:04:07I didn't want you to hear it.

1:04:08 > 1:04:11It was getting worse - in the last few months.

1:04:14 > 1:04:16He hurt me every night.

1:04:17 > 1:04:18It felt like it would never end.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25But then I found out I was pregnant.

1:04:27 > 1:04:31I can't describe what it felt like.

1:04:32 > 1:04:34I was coming back to life.

1:04:39 > 1:04:41I planned to take you away with the baby.

1:04:43 > 1:04:46So I went to, um, see a solicitor...

1:04:48 > 1:04:52..but he told me I wouldn't get a divorce.

1:04:54 > 1:04:58He told me if I left, your father would get custody.

1:05:02 > 1:05:04When I got back home, it was late.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06He was angry.

1:05:08 > 1:05:10And you were playing so loudly,

1:05:10 > 1:05:15I, I pulled you upstairs into your room and I locked the door, so he...

1:05:16 > 1:05:19..so he couldn't hurt you when he hurt me.

1:05:22 > 1:05:23I was so afraid.

1:05:25 > 1:05:27I couldn't take care of one child.

1:05:27 > 1:05:28How could I protect two?

1:05:39 > 1:05:41I killed my baby.

1:05:43 > 1:05:48I left you home alone and I went to see a woman...

1:06:15 > 1:06:17Why didn't you tell anyone?

1:06:18 > 1:06:19I couldn't.

1:06:21 > 1:06:22Abortion was a crime.

1:06:26 > 1:06:28I killed my child.

1:06:32 > 1:06:33God forgive me.

1:06:35 > 1:06:39And I thought you would be better off without me.

1:07:05 > 1:07:07No, you're all right. Thank you.

1:07:09 > 1:07:11Everything all right, DS Coles?

1:07:12 > 1:07:14Doesn't it make you lose heart, sir?

1:07:14 > 1:07:17When you know something, but you can't prove it.

1:07:17 > 1:07:22I see policing as a matter of judgment, not heart.

1:07:23 > 1:07:25Of balancing realities.

1:07:27 > 1:07:31I look forward to seeing you, Rachel. You brighten up the place.

1:07:34 > 1:07:35Thank you, sir.

1:07:35 > 1:07:40DCI Gently has always paid attention to you, hasn't he?

1:07:42 > 1:07:47When he retires, I want you to know that my door is always open.

1:07:49 > 1:07:52Perhaps we could become as close as you and he have been?

1:07:55 > 1:08:00I, erm, I read an interview with Commander Shirley Becke.

1:08:01 > 1:08:05She said there's no such thing as a lady policeman.

1:08:05 > 1:08:08We're police officers who just happen to be women.

1:08:08 > 1:08:12Not everyone sees things that way yet,

1:08:12 > 1:08:15but Mr Gently has always been a great mentor to me,

1:08:15 > 1:08:18a real FATHER figure.

1:08:21 > 1:08:24And I'd be honoured to see you in the same way, sir.

1:08:27 > 1:08:31You're going to need a lot of friends in this world, Rachel.

1:08:31 > 1:08:33Remember that.

1:08:37 > 1:08:38Sir?

1:08:38 > 1:08:40I've been looking over the Liddell inquiry.

1:08:40 > 1:08:43Speaking to Inspector Bacchus.

1:08:44 > 1:08:45We need to wrap it up.

1:08:45 > 1:08:47I want headlines for the right reasons.

1:08:49 > 1:08:50With respect, sir.

1:08:51 > 1:08:56You were Superintendent at the time of Eve Liddell's conviction -

1:08:56 > 1:09:00however much you avoided getting your hands dirty.

1:09:00 > 1:09:04Now, if you want me to bury this there will be headlines

1:09:04 > 1:09:06but for the wrong reasons.

1:09:07 > 1:09:10If you want me to retire, I'll go 1st of January...

1:09:11 > 1:09:14..but I'm staying on this case until Eve Liddell walks free.

1:09:17 > 1:09:18Very well.

1:09:25 > 1:09:28You need to talk to me?

1:09:28 > 1:09:29I'm fine.

1:09:34 > 1:09:38We're not going to find her, the woman who performed the abortion?

1:09:40 > 1:09:41No, we're not.

1:09:44 > 1:09:46Apart from Eve's word, we haven't got enough evidence

1:09:46 > 1:09:48for a fresh appeal.

1:09:48 > 1:09:49We need to find that killer.

1:09:51 > 1:09:53Why that Saturday?

1:09:53 > 1:09:56Why did Alistair come back from that football match in such a rage?

1:09:57 > 1:10:01There was, there was bad blood on the pitch - and at the plant.

1:10:01 > 1:10:04Alistair had caused an accident - a fire -

1:10:04 > 1:10:05and Tommy Norton covered it up.

1:10:05 > 1:10:08They blamed it on an apprentice called Robert Platt.

1:10:08 > 1:10:09What day was that fire?

1:10:09 > 1:10:115th of September.

1:10:11 > 1:10:13When did Alistair's money troubles start?

1:10:16 > 1:10:18There are his bank statements.

1:10:21 > 1:10:23Ha.

1:10:23 > 1:10:25Get Robert Platt and Tommy Norton in here.

1:10:25 > 1:10:26Yes, sir.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

1:10:55 > 1:10:58You've done well compared with all these grammar school boys,

1:10:58 > 1:11:00haven't you, Mr Norton?

1:11:00 > 1:11:04A good watch. Nice suit. You have expensive tastes.

1:11:05 > 1:11:08I've made a success of myself, I can afford it.

1:11:08 > 1:11:11Ah, but there was a time when you couldn't afford it, wasn't there?

1:11:11 > 1:11:15When you needed extra cash to buy the things that you liked.

1:11:15 > 1:11:16You...

1:11:20 > 1:11:26Now, then, this is a statement from Alistair Liddell's bank account.

1:11:26 > 1:11:28And do you know what's funny about it?

1:11:28 > 1:11:31September to December 1962,

1:11:31 > 1:11:34Alistair never deposited his pay -

1:11:34 > 1:11:38but he was withdrawing most of his savings.

1:11:39 > 1:11:41Have you got the other one?

1:11:44 > 1:11:48This is yours, and during the same period

1:11:48 > 1:11:51you came into quite a lot of money.

1:11:54 > 1:11:57You didn't just use the fire at the plant to get the job

1:11:57 > 1:11:59that Alistair wanted.

1:11:59 > 1:12:02You were blackmailing him, weren't you?

1:12:06 > 1:12:09Alistair always made sure to remind me of my failings -

1:12:09 > 1:12:13he liked to put me down to make himself look better...

1:12:15 > 1:12:17..and when I found out what he was really up to,

1:12:17 > 1:12:21he was desperate not to be exposed as a failure.

1:12:22 > 1:12:27Well. Blackmail being a criminal offence,

1:12:27 > 1:12:32I doubt that your buyers will want a manager with a record,

1:12:32 > 1:12:34so why don't you tell us what really happened

1:12:34 > 1:12:36the day that Alistair disappeared?

1:12:39 > 1:12:41Alistair came to me before the game.

1:12:41 > 1:12:44He said there was no more money - he wasn't paying any more.

1:12:44 > 1:12:49Oh, so you told Robert Platt the truth about the accident -

1:12:49 > 1:12:50just to get him on side,

1:12:50 > 1:12:54and together you hatched a plot to get rid of him. Yeah?

1:12:54 > 1:12:57I told Robert the truth, that's all...

1:12:58 > 1:13:02..and he laid into Alistair on the pitch - got Alistair sent off.

1:13:02 > 1:13:04Robert was desperate. He could've done anything.

1:13:07 > 1:13:09All right, you can go for now. Chris.

1:13:14 > 1:13:16Oi, I'm not finished with you.

1:13:56 > 1:13:58I'm looking for Graham Arthur.

1:14:00 > 1:14:01INAUDIBLE

1:14:11 > 1:14:14We know you fought with Alistair that Saturday.

1:14:15 > 1:14:16So what?

1:14:19 > 1:14:22You must have been very angry when you found out

1:14:22 > 1:14:25the fire at Caldbrook's was Alistair's fault.

1:14:25 > 1:14:29He shot my life to pieces. Him and Tommy Norton.

1:14:31 > 1:14:34God, no-one would ever give me another chance after that.

1:14:35 > 1:14:37But, I didn't kill anyone.

1:14:37 > 1:14:40I didn't ask you about the murder.

1:14:42 > 1:14:47But I do know that Eve Liddell didn't kill Alistair.

1:14:47 > 1:14:50Which means that somebody else was at their house that night.

1:14:50 > 1:14:54Somebody else was arguing with Alistair -

1:14:54 > 1:14:57and you had a reason to go and confront him.

1:14:59 > 1:15:01Tommy says that you were both in the pub

1:15:01 > 1:15:05till closing time - but I don't believe that you were.

1:15:07 > 1:15:11Alistair's body would have been hard for one person to move alone.

1:15:13 > 1:15:15Tommy helped you to move the body, didn't he?

1:15:18 > 1:15:19KNOCK ON DOOR

1:15:19 > 1:15:20DOOR OPENS

1:15:22 > 1:15:23Sir?

1:15:28 > 1:15:29What do you want?

1:15:33 > 1:15:35This is Graham Arthur.

1:15:35 > 1:15:38He'd like to offer his witness statement again as evidence.

1:15:38 > 1:15:40All right, go on, tell Mr Gently what you told me

1:15:40 > 1:15:43about the lady outside the Liddell house that night?

1:15:43 > 1:15:46Well...she looked like Marilyn Monroe.

1:15:53 > 1:15:54DOOR OPENS

1:15:58 > 1:16:00What's she doing here?

1:16:00 > 1:16:02Betty, love, sweetheart, are you all right?

1:16:02 > 1:16:07DI Bacchus, I want you here. Sit down, please, Mrs Platt.

1:16:09 > 1:16:12What's she doing here? She hasn't done anything wrong.

1:16:20 > 1:16:25Ordinary people, they read about murderers in the newspapers

1:16:25 > 1:16:28and they think they can imagine what it's like to kill.

1:16:30 > 1:16:35But the truth is, nobody knows how it feels to take a man's life.

1:16:38 > 1:16:43The first thing is the panic, the heart's beating faster

1:16:43 > 1:16:46and the blood's rushing to your brain,

1:16:46 > 1:16:48so you just can't think what to do.

1:16:48 > 1:16:50You should be talking to Tommy.

1:16:50 > 1:16:51You look back at the body.

1:16:51 > 1:16:53You feel the blood on your hands - it's sticky.

1:16:55 > 1:16:57It smells sweeter than you might think.

1:16:57 > 1:17:01So you try to move the body, but the feel of it repulses you,

1:17:01 > 1:17:07it's soft and heavy and it's hard to move, like a sack,

1:17:07 > 1:17:09but there's still warmth in it.

1:17:12 > 1:17:16We have a witness who saw you on the street that night, Mrs Platt.

1:17:18 > 1:17:21You helped your husband to move Alistair body, didn't you?

1:17:21 > 1:17:22No.

1:17:22 > 1:17:27- You don't need to do this to her. Right?- I- killed him.

1:17:27 > 1:17:31Yeah, tell them, Betty... Tell them I did it by myself.

1:17:31 > 1:17:32Love?

1:17:32 > 1:17:36The other thing that people don't understand is the guilt.

1:17:37 > 1:17:39How it weighs on your soul.

1:17:47 > 1:17:51Your husband didn't kill Alistair, did he, Mrs Platt?

1:17:51 > 1:17:54- I'm telling you..- No.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56I'm telling you I did it! I'm telling you it was me.

1:17:56 > 1:17:59No, Robert. Robert, I need to tell them.

1:17:59 > 1:18:02- No, no, no, don't...- It's OK. - You can't, you can't.

1:18:02 > 1:18:04I want to do this.

1:18:07 > 1:18:09Because you're right.

1:18:10 > 1:18:14Nobody knows what that kind of secret does to you.

1:18:14 > 1:18:16We tried to get on with our lives...

1:18:18 > 1:18:20..then it just creeps into the corners.

1:18:24 > 1:18:25We never talked about it.

1:18:28 > 1:18:30How could we even have children?!

1:18:32 > 1:18:34Tell me what happened.

1:18:37 > 1:18:40We were so in love, weren't we?

1:18:41 > 1:18:43All we wanted to do was to get married.

1:18:46 > 1:18:50But when Robert lost his job, he called the engagement off.

1:18:50 > 1:18:52That Saturday, I went to the football

1:18:52 > 1:18:55because I wanted to talk to him -

1:18:55 > 1:18:58that's when I overheard Alistair and him fighting.

1:19:00 > 1:19:04So, I thought, if... if I could get Alistair alone,

1:19:04 > 1:19:09you know, I-I could persuade him to change his mind

1:19:09 > 1:19:11and to give Robert his job back.

1:19:11 > 1:19:14Why did you think Alistair would listen to you?

1:19:16 > 1:19:17Because he liked me.

1:19:19 > 1:19:22Oh, aye, he liked coming into the office.

1:19:23 > 1:19:27Putting his hand on my skirt at first - then up me leg.

1:19:31 > 1:19:36And I never said anything, because he's an important man.

1:19:38 > 1:19:40So you went to see him at home.

1:19:40 > 1:19:42Aye, because I thought his wife would be there too, but,

1:19:42 > 1:19:44but she wasn't, he was alone.

1:19:44 > 1:19:50He invited me in and I tried to talk to him.

1:19:52 > 1:19:54I wanted to explain

1:19:54 > 1:19:57we just wanted a home, a family like he had.

1:20:01 > 1:20:03But he wasn't interested in that.

1:20:06 > 1:20:07SHE SCREAMS

1:20:07 > 1:20:09He grabbed me and he pushed me back.

1:20:09 > 1:20:10He pushed me onto the table

1:20:10 > 1:20:12and he had his hands around my throat,

1:20:12 > 1:20:15I can't even breathe, and he's scaring me

1:20:15 > 1:20:18and I put my hand out and there was a knife...

1:20:18 > 1:20:20I wanted to stop - to stop him.

1:20:20 > 1:20:22I thought he was going to kill me!

1:20:22 > 1:20:24SHE SCREAMS

1:20:28 > 1:20:31And when I looked there was just blood.

1:20:33 > 1:20:34I was frightened and I ran.

1:20:39 > 1:20:41Sorry.

1:20:48 > 1:20:50You helped her move the body.

1:21:22 > 1:21:24You could have gone to the police.

1:21:24 > 1:21:27Could I? Do you think they would have listened to me?

1:21:27 > 1:21:30You let an innocent woman go to prison.

1:21:31 > 1:21:39I'm sorry. Please, please, will you tell her I'm so, so sorry?

1:21:43 > 1:21:44Stand up, please, both of you.

1:21:52 > 1:21:57Betty Platt, I am arresting you for the murder of Alistair Liddell

1:21:57 > 1:22:00on the 15th of December, 1962.

1:22:00 > 1:22:03You do not have to say anything, but anything that you do say

1:22:03 > 1:22:04may be taken down in evidence

1:22:04 > 1:22:06and may be used in against you at your trial.

1:22:06 > 1:22:07Do you understand?

1:22:09 > 1:22:13Robert Platt, I am arresting you for assisting an offender

1:22:13 > 1:22:15and disposing of a body, do you understand?

1:22:19 > 1:22:22Come on. It's all right.

1:22:26 > 1:22:29Betty, Betty, come on. Come on.

1:22:41 > 1:22:45It wasn't murder. She was defending herself.

1:22:45 > 1:22:46That's for a court to decide.

1:23:09 > 1:23:10Do you want one?

1:23:10 > 1:23:14Um, no, you're all right, thank you.

1:23:14 > 1:23:17I've, er, well, I've got somewhere I need to be.

1:23:19 > 1:23:20Got a date?

1:23:20 > 1:23:24Sort of a...a girls' night.

1:23:28 > 1:23:29All right?

1:23:31 > 1:23:33Goodnight, sir.

1:23:33 > 1:23:34Goodnight, Rachel.

1:23:34 > 1:23:35Night.

1:23:39 > 1:23:41I've come to collect some things.

1:23:54 > 1:23:57Look, I know I did wrong, but I have changed and you know that.

1:24:03 > 1:24:05Just give us a chance to prove it, eh?

1:24:08 > 1:24:10You went to the ACC behind my back.

1:24:15 > 1:24:21I was scared, and I knew I was wrong and you wouldn't stop...

1:24:21 > 1:24:23Yeah, well, I knew something was coming.

1:24:23 > 1:24:25It was written all over your face from the start.

1:24:27 > 1:24:32Six years - six years you've been working for me

1:24:32 > 1:24:35and you didn't think you can come and talk to me?

1:24:38 > 1:24:39I'm a mess.

1:24:44 > 1:24:45I don't know what I'm doing.

1:24:54 > 1:24:57I want to be a man that my daughter can be proud of, I do...

1:25:03 > 1:25:05I know you're not me, John...

1:25:07 > 1:25:09..but if you want to prove you've changed,

1:25:09 > 1:25:11it's not me that you've got to answer to -

1:25:11 > 1:25:13it's not Gemma, it's not your daughter.

1:25:14 > 1:25:16It's you. You've got to prove it to yourself.

1:25:21 > 1:25:26So, it's time for you to go your way, and I'll go mine.

1:25:35 > 1:25:36I'm sorry.

1:26:14 > 1:26:18Free our sisters, free ourselves! Free our sisters, free ourselves!

1:26:18 > 1:26:23Free our sisters, free ourselves! Free our sisters, free ourselves!

1:26:23 > 1:26:31Free our sisters, free ourselves! Free our sisters, free ourselves!

1:26:31 > 1:26:35- What do we want?- Equal Rights! - When do we want it?
