0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08- For the last ten years, you did it. - Look, I'm no risk to him, to others. It's the other way round.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11You increased your risk to the public, Eddie, not me.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13It's them I've got to protect. Not you.
0:00:13 > 0:00:19They're going to categorise me as high-risk. If I do anything about being innocent, I go back to prison.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- I'm sorry for the way things have turned out.- It's not your fault.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25One night I had a row with Georgia cos she'd been two-timing me,
0:00:25 > 0:00:26the rest you know.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I know who she went with. Ben Somers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I didn't kill Georgia Whiteley!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35A 25-year sentence for something I didn't do,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and I'm telling the whole world now!
0:00:38 > 0:00:39I'm telling you all!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Eddie, do you have your list of stressful situations?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Paula getting to know me, Paula trusting me,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Paula taking me for cake on my birthday and making me feel
0:00:50 > 0:00:53like I mattered! And now I don't! I confessed to you!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- And now you've taken my life away from me!- Recall him to prison!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I haven't managed a problem... I've created one.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Did you ever believe he was innocent?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08That's beside the point.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Is it?- It's irrelevant.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Are you encouraging me to take it further?- I'm not supposed to do that.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Do you believe me?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I believe you. I think you're innocent.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I believe you, Eddie.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I know nothing seems to be on the horizon job-wise,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59but on the upside, Mr Stiles gave you a tremendous reference,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and the fact that you're willing to work part-time
0:02:03 > 0:02:06is definitely going to work in your favour.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08What about the other thing?
0:02:08 > 0:02:09What other thing?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11That you believe me.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Yes, I do. But what do you think that changes, Eddie?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I'm still your Probation Officer, you still report to me,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23and my senior is five yards away on the other side of that window.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24So nothing changes?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Look, I'm going to try and make life easier for you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'm going to ask about your risk level being downgraded.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Right(!)
0:02:34 > 0:02:37What d'you mean "right"? I'm trying to help you here!
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- I'm innocent, Paula! That's the help I need!- Keep your voice down.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I was buzzing that you believed me, but I can't just leave it at that.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I suppose you have to. That's all you can do.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53But me and Kelly...we've got to take it further, you know?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Cos if someone like you believes me, then the Law will.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You make life hard for yourself, don't you?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05At least you know you've had one.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Marion?- Yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18We talked about having Eddie Mottram reassessed as medium-risk.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20YOU talked about it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Yeah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Has he acknowledged his guilt yet?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29No. But if we gave him more freedom, he'd have something else
0:03:29 > 0:03:33to concentrate on. At the minute, it's him against the world.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37If we gave him more freedom, he might do something we'd all regret.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Prove he's innocent?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yeah! That'd be you out of a job, wouldn't it?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Look, Paula, it's him that has to change.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47You've just got to make him see he's got no choice.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Keep up the good work(!)
0:03:50 > 0:03:56It's what you had to come back and prove, isn't it? That you could.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58He stays high-risk.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- She believes me?- She believes you, but she ain't going to do anything about it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17It's not her job, is it? It's our job.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Where do we start?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51I'm only looking.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52It's not your problem.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I just want to be able to give him some advice.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- So long as you're not committing yourself.- I'll leave it up to him.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Come and eat, come on.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'm only trying to help, OK?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13So what DID happen?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The police were called to a disturbance,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18he was arrested but released.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21No charges pressed.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Are you sending him back to prison?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28This time...this time, we feel a warning is sufficient.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Is he losing it?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I've come to be transparent with you about him,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- but I can't answer questions... - Is he still saying he's innocent?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yeah, yes.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Do you believe him?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I haven't behaved like someone who believes him.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54But do you?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00No.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18The bastard can lie as much as he likes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Nobody's going to believe him.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'm going upstairs.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24You got a headache?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yeah, I do.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Thanks for not pressing charges.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47A way of making amends, I guess.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Did the police ever question you?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I slept with her, Eddie. I didn't kill her.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Look, Eddie, I've got my surgery. - Course you do.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02When you went home last night, to your wife and kids,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06did you explain how you got those marks on your face?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I told her a patient attacked me.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13A patient I'd been treating for mental health issues.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Nice. I wish I'd learned to blame stuff on other people.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Right, so postcode. - Yep, yep.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Quickly. - Why quickly?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Right, so scroll down. - Do what?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Scroll... Look.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51There's loads of 'em.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Start writing them down, Mum.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Yeah. Yeah, all right, you call 'em out and I'll write 'em down.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Kelly ain't getting anywhere. She's written loads of letters
0:08:01 > 0:08:03to different solicitors. They don't want to know
0:08:03 > 0:08:04or don't bother replying.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- What's she saying to them? - Here you are.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's handwritten.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18All of them have been handwritten.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26It's got to say more than this.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31It's got to say more about the facts of what happened that night.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36There's not enough to go on, to get them interested in.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I could tell 'em - if they'd let me get me foot in the door.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'll come to the hostel.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Why?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So I can help you write it up properly.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Thank you.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I understand you having to visit him during the first few weeks,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03but why are you still coming, Paula?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'm supervising a high-risk offender.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08In this hostel, he's my offender, he's under my scrutiny.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11So why are you still going out of your way?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I didn't realise you felt so possessively about him.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm asking you why you are.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Don't expect you'll need long, will you?
0:09:48 > 0:09:53We were parked up at the back of the football fields.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56All of a sudden, she's like, "Use a condom."
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I said, "What you talking about?"
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We'd been going out six months. She was on the pill.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- I couldn't understand it. I didn't even bloody have one!- But she did?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Yeah, she'd bought them.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I refused.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17The sex was...crap. She was...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19quiet, scared.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23And then I tumbled it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26She'd been going with someone else.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30You know, she was worried that she might give me a dose.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Look, I'm sorry if this is...- What?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35..sordid.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's the truth.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I went ape-shit anyway.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Did you hit her?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I lunged across to her. Pulled her hair.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51We were screaming at each other.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55She got out of the car, then I got out of the car after her.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Then she turned round on me and scratched me face.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I called her a bitch. Then she went to run off,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08the heel of her shoe broke off. I started laughing.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I was like, "Serves you right, you fucking skank bitch!"
0:11:18 > 0:11:24And then I drove off. Left her there. Drove around.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- While Georgia...? - I don't know, do I?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Someone else came along, didn't they?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I should have driven back, shouldn't I?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Cos you wanted to forgive her? - No!- Cos you loved her?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- No, don't!- Don't what? - Don't put words in my mouth, Paula!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I never wanted to see that whore again, OK?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56She'd cheated on me.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01And you never did see her again, did you? The whore.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05That's how the Old Bill spoke to me!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08You wanted the truth, didn't you? I'm giving it to you!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Why do you wish you'd gone back? - It doesn't matter. I just do, that's all.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I'm supposed to be helping you. - I don't like the way you're looking at me.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Like you're changing your mind about me. Cos I couldn't handle that, Paula.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27I wouldn't change my mind twice. But you don't want to give me the truth.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You might not like me any more!
0:12:33 > 0:12:34This isn't a date.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Just tell me how you felt.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46I wished that I'd gone back to her, because then I'd have saved myself, wouldn't I?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I didn't wish her dead, but when I was arrested,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I thought I was the tragedy, you know?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You were a selfish, narcissistic, nasty piece of work.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Like still being in the same room as me?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You were a boy.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Please think I'm different now.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Please.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42'I lunged across to her. Pulled her hair.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46'We were screaming at each other. She got out of the car,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48'then I got out of the car after her.'
0:13:51 > 0:13:54'Then she turned round on me and scratched me face.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00'I called her a bitch. Then she went to run off, the heel of her shoe...'
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Leaving it up to him again?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05What?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Leaving it up to him again, are you?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10He hasn't got a computer. He can't type anyway,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14AND they need to get a solicitor interested.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Let's hope they do.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19'..serves you right, you fucking skank bitch!'
0:14:24 > 0:14:28'And then I drove off. Left her there.'
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I get a lot of letters.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36You learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39This was interesting. Compelling.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Having said that, it is a lot of time and manpower,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48which wouldn't be a problem if there was proper funding for...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50a case like this.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52A case like this?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It's easier to defend a case the first time round.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You just have to knock down the prosecution's case.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Here, we would have to prove that if there had been X or Y,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05then the outcome would have been Z.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- And...- And what?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12..you did confess.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Yes, but you wouldn't have agreed to see us
0:15:20 > 0:15:22if you didn't think there was something in it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Get the case papers from Brotherton. - And you'll look through 'em?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31You're going to have to. Hopefully, you can bring me back something.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34How will they know what to find?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Anything that wasn't done properly, anything that wasn't done at all.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Anything that can get you a defence, Eddie.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45This is great, Eddie.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Yes.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57All right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02You're a big kid.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- I can't feel me neck.- Shh.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Hang on. Right, come on.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Is it clear?- It's clear!
0:16:21 > 0:16:25These two have got me on Facebook. What's my status?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Desperate.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Liberty!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Here you go, Paula.- Oh, thank you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So, how are we going to make sense of this lot, then?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Well, we should start by putting it in date order.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45May take a while.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Look on the bright side. Won't take ten years, will it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51My freedom might be in there somewhere.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Eddie, this might not work out. We could be doing all this for nothing.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56You've got to be ready for that.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I am. I've signed up for a part-time course
0:16:59 > 0:17:01out of that booklet you gave me.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Horticulture. Got to have a plan B, yeah?
0:17:03 > 0:17:08If I can't get justice, I'll try and get an NVQ instead.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Right, come on you two! Let's get these in order.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Trevor?- Trevor now am I?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Have you got a minute? - Not really. Got an assault.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25It's tricky. You may not even want to help me cos it's confidential.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- What's confidential?- If Eddie Mottram is active in his appeal,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32then that's a breach of his licence, isn't it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37- His sister's asked for the papers, but he's not active through me.- OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Pushing his luck, isn't he?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Exactly. Did you ever look into a defence yourself?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I had a paralegal look into it but nothing.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The paralegal never found anything that would stand up?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Against DNA, motive and the last person to be seen with her?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55No, nothing at all. But I got him leniency, didn't I?
0:17:55 > 0:17:5810 years instead of 25.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Cheeky buggers are never satisfied, are they?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Thanks.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Remember me?- Yeah, you was the one that nicked me.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I led the investigation. I sat in Georgia's front room
0:18:37 > 0:18:38with her mum and dad,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41watching them fall apart holding a photo frame between them.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Now you're going around saying you didn't do it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I did my job properly.- I pleaded. I did your job for you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51You pleaded. You can't come back from that.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- What do you want to torment her mum and dad for?- I don't.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You've learned nothing.
0:19:17 > 0:19:24Will, listen to this. "You do not need any qualifications at all
0:19:24 > 0:19:28"to become a paralegal. It is an unregulated profession."
0:19:28 > 0:19:31So to become a paralegal, you get a job as a paralegal!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Don't read things out, I'm trying to concentrate.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- You know where that's from? That's from their own institute!- Great.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41You want to know the best bit? I did a search for Brotherton's firm.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46There's a story in the Legal Record. A paralegal made a complaint
0:19:46 > 0:19:50about Brotherton, alleging a lack of supervision.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I couldn't give a shit, all right?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Tell me about your day, and I'll tell you about mine, and that's...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58that's all fine.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Of course it's fine.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- But this isn't your job, Paula. And he's not...- He's not what?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Hang on, he's not what?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Look at the way he's distracting you!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13This isn't about him. This is about what happened to him.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Is it?- How am I supposed to have an affair with someone
0:20:18 > 0:20:20who goes to bed at nine o'clock?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24I never accused you of that, all right? It's just...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27don't you think you got enough excitement when you got suspended?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You think I latched on to this for the excitement?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Will, for the first time in ages, I feel good about myself.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Glad I could help(!)
0:20:38 > 0:20:40But you did.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I stopped you feeling bad.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I never made you feel good.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Look at this. Article from the Legal Record.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09A paralegal made a formal complaint about a lack of supervision
0:21:09 > 0:21:13by Brotherton. The complaint itself is current,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15but it originates from a few years back.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- The paralegal on my case? - That doesn't matter.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21He was using paralegals to do the donkey work.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24More than the donkey work. To research the defence.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Which is what they do, but if they're not competent...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30And missed statements that might have helped.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34..or didn't check statements on used material, who'd know?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Not Brotherton.- Because he wasn't supervising them properly.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Oh, Paula, I love you!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It's just a possibility. It's a glimmer. Don't you get carried away.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50If I did get me conviction quashed, if I wasn't an offender any more,
0:21:50 > 0:21:54we wouldn't have to skulk around like spies, would we?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56You'd be free.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Free to what?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Stand on the steps of the Appeal Court with a big smile on your face.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Sorry.- It's all right.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Shall I get you anything for tonight?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15No point - I've got a home visit.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Eddie?- Yeah?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28There's statements here from the occupants overlooking
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- the back of the football fields except one.- Why? It's missing?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35No, it was never taken. They've been meant to revisit,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- but they obviously didn't.- They might not have been in that night.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- That's not the point!- Or we discover they were in but didn't see nothing.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45There's something missing in the investigation!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48And if Brotherton's already in trouble for not keeping
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- an eye on things... - Then we might find more.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53You missed something as well, Paula.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56"Sightings of a silver Astra in the area driven away at speed."
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- I didn't have an Astra! Do you think they followed that up?- Let me look.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Right...you should walk from here.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Still playing spies, ain't we?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Well, we have to. Otherwise, it'll all come to an end.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32You've breached, and I've helped you breach.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34They'd have it in for both of us.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45- Come on, it's almost curfew time. - What you doing...now?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47I'm going home.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59We should have code words.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02You know, like, "Eagle Three, meet you in Zone Nine."
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Or different SIM cards for our phones!
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Then I'd be in even more trouble. - With your boyfriend? What's he think?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- You mustn't...- What?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18That's none of your business.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Just asking what your boyfriend thinks of all this...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22extracurricular stuff.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- He knows that's all it is. - Do you?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Yes.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Do you?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42FRONT DOOR RATTLES
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Hey.- Hey.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51How was football?
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Yeah, it was a laugh.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Good, I'm glad.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Yeah.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Dawn Clough is going to apply for leave to appeal for me.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24That's fantastic! Well, fingers crossed.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Pity you weren't there.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32That's probably for the best. It's her case now.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Nice knowing you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38What do you mean?
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Whether I succeed or fail, I won't be seeing you any more, will I?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Of course you'll be seeing me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51Officially, yeah. As an offender. Not as a...you know, like...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53collaborator, like we were.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- I'll still be... - My probation officer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Think about how well we've got to know each other.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- That can only be for the best. - The best? Bollocks!
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Don't talk to me like that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15What secrets will we have now, eh?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You know what would be for the best, Paula?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30That you fuck me? That we have an affair? Grow up, will you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Just because I believe you does not mean I'm in love with you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Have you any idea what would happen if I went there?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- You've risked your job for me.- Not for a love story!- You're a liar.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45I've seen the way you look at me.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I bet you don't look at your boyfriend like that any more.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I bet you don't get the same buzz out of being with him as you do with me.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55I bet when you're fucking him, you're thinking of me!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01This interview is over.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Interview? I'm trying to get through to you!
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I've coughed up most of my soul to you since I came out.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11And you sit there and tell me this "interview" is over.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Yeah!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15OK!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Eddie!
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Paula?- It's...it's OK.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Wait for me downstairs.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Swap you?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Eddie Mottram's new solicitor has applied for leave to appeal.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24I've tried to have a word with him, for the sake of the parents, make him see some sense.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28What if that appeal's granted? How does that make me look?
0:30:28 > 0:30:33He signed a form that you gave him saying, "I've decided to plead guilty
0:30:33 > 0:30:36"of my own volition." You didn't put a foot wrong.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Not legally, no.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I asked her.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Thanks for coming.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Hi. Come through.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Take a seat.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Is it bad news?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It's got to be bad news, the way you're doing this.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16I'm sorry, Eddie. They have refused it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22They didn't think the out of time application was justified.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Not a reasonable chance of success.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26The judge will give us his decision in writing.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I'm sorry, Dawn, he's not listening.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32It's OK. There are other avenues.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38- Full court appeal, Criminal Cases Review Commission. - What do you think?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Why say it, then? I was getting hopeful, you know?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I was getting my hopes up. Started seeing myself having a life,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49having a different reputation.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- Eddie...- Look, I don't think I've got enough to carry on.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57This was never going to be easy. That's why we came up with a plan B.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59That's why you needed a plan B.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02What did you say to me?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Come on, tell me.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10If I can't get justice, I'll try and get an NVQ.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Exactly! Because there's more. There's always more.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Yeah, even if it is only horticulture.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Even if.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23And I still get to see you twice a week, don't I?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Yes. Twice a week.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32He's in meetings all morning and in court this afternoon.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Right.- Excuse me!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Excuse me!
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Can I help you?- Sorry.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- What are YOU doing here?- You didn't give Eddie a chance, did you?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56You used cheap labour that was too inexperienced
0:32:56 > 0:32:57to do its job properly!
0:32:57 > 0:33:00You didn't work for Eddie, and the paralegals didn't know how to!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03You were too greedy for the money they saved your firm!
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Are you the one that put him up to appealing?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I advised him to plead guilty cos of the evidence.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12You advised him that because of your business model!
0:33:12 > 0:33:15His leave to appeal didn't come to anything, did it?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17That's why you're here, ranting and raving.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Do you think it's just going to end there?
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Probably.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26There's still the full court appeal and the CCRC!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33You did believe he was innocent, didn't you?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39It didn't matter what I thought.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Obviously not.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48The probation officer was the one doing the stirring.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52She's already had a reputation for not doing her job properly.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Got suspended previously.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57What?
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Some people never learn, do they?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- What do you mean?- They had Eddie Mottram in the cells
0:34:05 > 0:34:06a couple of weeks ago.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Some fracas outside a friend's house.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Anyway, complaint was withdrawn, he went home.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15What's that got to do with her?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Lads at the station had some fun the day after.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36So tell me why you think you're suitable to enrol
0:34:36 > 0:34:39on this horticultural course?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Well, I'd like to think I'm conscientious, keen to learn,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46acquire new skills, and...
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I'm sick of wanking in the hostel!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Don't ask me to shake your hand!
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Hi, sorry. Sorry for the interruption. We've met before.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Marion, Paula's senior. Hiya, do you mind if I sit in?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- No, no, of course not.- Thank you.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07We were, um, just doing a mock interview.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Eddie's thinking of enrolling in an FE course.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Good, good. That sounds like progress.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Are you still insisting on your innocence?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18We're trying to move Eddie's focus to other things.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- To more constructive things?- Yeah.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25And is Paula helping you with the whole thing of acceptance?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Acceptance?
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- Well, that trying to clear your name is pointless.- Seems like it.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37You have to live with what you've done in the past.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Stop denying it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42It's very important that Paula gets that across to you. Isn't it?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I'm doing my best.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47OK, OK.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Good. Thank you.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01She knows.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Hit me back. You're man enough to take Paula.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Aren't you man enough to hit me back?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Step up to me!
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Hit me back!- I can't! I won't!
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Think you can come into my life and ruin it?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Hit me back! Come on! I haven't got a mark on me!
0:36:42 > 0:36:47No, I won't give you one. I won't get done for assault.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53Hit me back, and they'll send you back!
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Hit me back, cos I want her back!
0:37:07 > 0:37:10EDDIE GROANS

0:38:02 > 0:38:03What you doing here?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06He texted me to tell me what he'd done.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- My God.- Paula, go! You'll get in trouble.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I'll take you to the... I'll take you to the hostel.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I can't go back there! They'll say it's a fight I got into
0:38:17 > 0:38:22and say it's a breach of my parole. Same reason I can't go to hospital.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- It becomes official.- I know, I know. Let me clean you up.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29You shouldn't be here. Just go! Please, I'll be OK...
0:38:29 > 0:38:33No! You listen to me!
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I'm going to take you to the hostel. I won't come in.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40You tell Colin you were attacked on the street.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Someone who recognised you from the paper.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45I'm sorry.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50I did this, not you. I did this to you.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Why did he text you?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56To see who I'd go to.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Me.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15I don't think I can lift you up.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Yes, you can.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Mr Whiteley?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- If I tell the police...- I know.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59How could you try to appeal?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02After what I've been saying, it's only natural.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Haven't got anywhere, though.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08What are you doing here?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- I've come to tell you.- No. - It wasn't me!- No!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16She was alive when I left her. She was doing her nut at me.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- She was holding one shoe... - You can't change your story now.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24It wasn't really my story. It was typed up for me, and I signed at the bottom.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- You said so from your own free will. - I said so, that's all!
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I don't expect you to forgive me,
0:40:45 > 0:40:49but you're her dad, and if you can accept what I'm saying to you,
0:40:49 > 0:40:50it'd mean the world to me.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Accept it wasn't you?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I'm begging you.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Then what would I do? Think about somebody else it might have been?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01I did at the beginning.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04But then I had to stop, because it was doing my head in.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09I realised I just had to get through prison, forget about who!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Are you trying to give me advice?
0:41:13 > 0:41:17You'd still be able to come here, Mr Whiteley, wouldn't ya?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I'm sorry.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Eh?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34I'm sorry, son. I can't help you.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38I have to believe it was you.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41I have to.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00No, it wasn't...that's not what happened. It was innocent!
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Yeah? Even if it was, she's guilty.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- What you talking about? - She's out. She's over.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09But I never...we never...!
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Don't worry! You don't go back to prison.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14But any more ideas you had about appealing...no chance now.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17No-one's going to take you seriously now.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Why? None of it, what they're saying,
0:43:20 > 0:43:24what they're doing to us... it's not right!
0:43:25 > 0:43:29I'll go and see her. I'll go and see her boss and explain!
0:43:29 > 0:43:31I'll tell the newspaper what really happened!
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- Just leave me!- Eddie...!
0:43:34 > 0:43:35Leave me!
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Eddie!
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Eddie's been recalled to prison for assaulting Colin Bolt.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37As for you, there'll be an investigation,
0:44:37 > 0:44:41then a disciplinary hearing, which will result in your sacking.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45What will happen to you?
0:44:45 > 0:44:48I'll be OK. This isn't a public protection issue.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51No-one's been harmed because of what you've done.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Well, except you, except Will, except the friends
0:44:54 > 0:44:57- we were supposed to be. - I had to go behind your back.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59You didn't have to do anything except your job!
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Don't you have trouble doing your job sometimes?!
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Yeah, but I don't betray it, Paula! You knew I was trying to reach you
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- and what do you do? Lie to me. - You'd have stopped me!
0:45:10 > 0:45:13We don't campaign for offenders - we manage them.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17- And we certainly don't screw 'em. - I didn't...!- Oh, it doesn't matter!
0:45:21 > 0:45:24I fought for you to get a second chance.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33- Marion, I'm sorry!- No, no, no.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38I know you feel let down, but I don't feel like I let myself down.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41You did give me a second chance, but he gave me a chance
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I didn't even know about -
0:45:43 > 0:45:46the chance to do something right - and I took it.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51No-one cares that you thought you were fighting an injustice.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54You got too close to an offender
0:45:54 > 0:45:57and got caught on CCTV showing everybody.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01That's what you've done to yourself.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32Thank you.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34What?
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Some journalist on the phone. About Eddie Mottram.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41What about him?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43He's going back to prison.
0:47:47 > 0:47:52We've got rid of him, then. Our life can carry on.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55What, just like it has been?
0:47:57 > 0:47:59So that's all right, then.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Well, what else would you like?
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Say cheese! You stupid bitch.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19- I'd like to pull your hair out. - I've already started.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21I warned him not to get involved with you.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23He promised me it wasn't going any further.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26But I thought you'd know better. You're the professional, in't ya?
0:48:28 > 0:48:29We never slept together.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33So what? His whole case is dead in the water!
0:48:36 > 0:48:37Oi!
0:48:37 > 0:48:41What did I really do, Kelly?
0:48:41 > 0:48:44He could have committed a breach trying to prove his case.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47He could have gone back to prison for a good reason.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51But he's going to do 15 years now for what? For you! For nothing!
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Don't blame me for the way he feels!
0:48:53 > 0:48:57And don't think you're the only one who's allowed to care about him!
0:48:58 > 0:49:00That's it, is it? Oi!
0:49:43 > 0:49:45PAULA SOBS
0:50:09 > 0:50:12There's no defence, is there? There's nothing I can say.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14How could I let it get that far?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16You're going to give me the sack anyway,
0:50:16 > 0:50:18so is it OK if I say something?
0:50:21 > 0:50:26We used to turn offenders into good members of society.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Now they're just an offence waiting to happen.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34That's the message we give them.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Risk...not trust.
0:50:38 > 0:50:43So we end up recreating them as criminals all over again.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Except with this one, I couldn't.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51I just wanted to eat biscuits with him.
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Are you OK?
0:51:21 > 0:51:24I just want to be on my own for a bit.
0:51:27 > 0:51:28That's it.
0:51:30 > 0:51:35Think about the life lived. Not the end of it.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39I said I wanted to be on my own for a bit!
0:54:08 > 0:54:13There she was with one shoe in her hand, her tights torn.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18Not upset, mind you, not contrite. But bloody brazen.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Like a tart walking back to her beat.
0:54:24 > 0:54:28How dare she behave like that? "Get in the car," I said to her.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36She'd had a row, but she wasn't upset.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43I could have felt sorry for her if she's crying about it.
0:54:43 > 0:54:44Comforted her.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50But she didn't need anything like that.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53She wasn't my little Georgie any more.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01She was a law unto herself now.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04Or so she thought.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11I was just trying to get her into the car.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15I never dreamt I could go that far.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20That wasn't me.
0:55:22 > 0:55:23That was never me.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28More like something Eddie Mottram'd do, eh?
0:56:08 > 0:56:09Come on.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24Paula.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29Look, I haven't yet got Ken Whiteley's signed confession on my desk.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33And it wouldn't mean Eddie's automatic release even if I did.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36But I can apply for bail.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Is he going to get his conviction quashed?
0:56:41 > 0:56:43Is he going to stand on the steps of the Appeal Court
0:56:43 > 0:56:46with a big smile on his face?
0:56:46 > 0:56:50I'm quite sure that he will. But he may have to wait for a bit.
0:56:50 > 0:56:54- Do you think he'll settle for that? - I think he might.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56Come here.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21What will I do with myself?
0:57:22 > 0:57:24You'll figure something out.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27We will.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32We both will.
0:57:33 > 0:57:34I know.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47Wow.
0:57:47 > 0:57:48Yeah.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56How was it getting here?
0:57:56 > 0:57:58How was it?
0:57:58 > 0:58:00The train and that.
0:58:02 > 0:58:03It was all right.
0:58:03 > 0:58:06THEY LAUGH
0:58:10 > 0:58:11Come here.
