0:00:02 > 0:00:03Clemency Johnson, this is Rudy Jones.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- Has he been drinking? - He keeps a bottle in his car.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13I'm granting you leave to come back before me Wednesday morning
0:00:13 > 0:00:15to argue about whether or not your client is competent to die.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19It's not your job to tell the State Department in Washington we've
0:00:19 > 0:00:22appointed a Chief Prosecutor who doesn't listen to anything we say.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I want the man who caused Michael's death put on trial and sent to jail.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32- Take the hit.- Who are you?- All you need to know is I wasn't here.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Not then, not now.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38There's a new witness - scared and careful,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40which is a good thing.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Who's the witness? - Abigail Strickland.- No!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48That's the woman I saw with Nick.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51She didn't exist, this woman. Why not?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Tell your wife you've been having an affair.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56The journalist won't dig deep because private pain is private.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Whatever any of them try and say now,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Abigail Strickland was a good police officer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Dad.- Yes.- What happens on mile five on your run?- Press ups.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10But it says you stop for seven or eight minutes sometimes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Are you looking for a family member? - Yes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16You should probably check the register of deaths. What's the name?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Nicholas Johnson.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21He wouldn't even have been eight when he died.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25This programme contains some strong language and some scenes which some viewers might find upsetting.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27PANTING
0:02:01 > 0:02:03FAINT MUSIC FROM HEADPHONES
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Erm, call when you can, OK?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Er....
0:02:58 > 0:03:00..I love you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Mum?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Text from Dad.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Do you want to know what he says?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- What does he say?- "Look after Mum."
0:03:44 > 0:03:46HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT BEEPS
0:03:59 > 0:04:01'Hello. It's me. Erm...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04'..everything's fine here.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07'Dan is doing press-ups like his life depends on it
0:04:07 > 0:04:10'and Ella is practising some very serious dance moves.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13'You left without saying goodbye, babe.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16'I...I understand I get it,
0:04:16 > 0:04:17'and I'm...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'I'm so, so sorry.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26'Look, I just wanted to say call when you can, OK?'
0:04:26 > 0:04:27- Mum!- 'I love you.'
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Mum?- Yeah, coming, I'm coming.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31They're ready.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39For 20 years, we had a relationship based on truth
0:04:39 > 0:04:40and integrity.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Everything we said to each other had the nuance
0:04:43 > 0:04:47and deep understanding integral to all relationships that endure.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52We had trust, we had great seriousness, we had wild laughter.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I talked, he listened.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57He talked, I heard him.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I spoke with him so I could speak for him.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Ours was a language never diminished by cliche.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09He understood how short life is and therefore how wonderful.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15He taught me how it was possible to find beauty in an eight foot cell.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19The play of light, the geometry of shape,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21the music in prison sound.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25But not any more.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27None of this now.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30He can't talk to me
0:05:30 > 0:05:33so I don't know what he thinks or who he is.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Your honour, Ricky Ray Rector had an IQ of 69.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The State of Arkansas executed him despite an appeal
0:05:43 > 0:05:46made precisely on the same basis as this appeal.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Not competent to die?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Rudy Jones is in way better shape than Ricky Ray.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Your honour, Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas
0:05:53 > 0:05:56slap bang in the middle of his first campaign for president
0:05:56 > 0:05:59and he came home to Little Rock to consult with his conscience,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02his wife and his God before deciding not to grant clemency
0:06:02 > 0:06:05to a man with a reading age of four.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- I think we'd all...- Ricky Ray helped the execution team find a vein.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Clinton could never be called soft on crime again.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The killing of Ricky Ray Rector was sickening political opportunism.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'm sure that this court will have none of that.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I think we'd all prefer to be guided by God
0:06:21 > 0:06:24than a sexually incontinent Democrat and his wife.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26God said, thou shalt not kill. Do you know why?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30He doesn't need DNA testing to know that one in nine men on death row
0:06:30 > 0:06:31are exonerated completely.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Who do we think we are?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Do we think we've earned the right to kill people?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Do we think we're grown-up enough to play God?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Miss Cobbina doesn't believe in God so maybe she should confine herself
0:06:41 > 0:06:44to the issue here which is simple and narrow.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- The State contend the petitioner is competent to die.- Competent?!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49He's a child.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I cannot take instructions from a child.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00An old friend of yours was released from prison yesterday.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Goes by Big Ray.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Word is he might be interested in finding you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It goes without saying, we've got your back.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12But you're telling me anyway.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16We might have some people on him and on you for the next few days.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18So don't get jumpy. They're friends.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So I'm satisfied he understands
0:08:48 > 0:08:51he's been sentenced to death and he knows what it means to die.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Thank you, Doctor.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57What does it mean to die?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Heaven or hell, I guess.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Where's my client going?- Hell.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- What happens in hell?- Suffering.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- What kind of suffering?- Burning.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08What does that feel like?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12You see, the thing about the pain of hell is that it cannot be imagined.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's the power, you see. Nobody knows.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Heaven is more beautiful than any one of us can imagine,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19but, hell, that's way beyond our understanding.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23How many visits did you make to examine Rudy?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Only needed the one.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Tell me about it.- Real thorough.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- How long were you there for? - About an hour.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Do you want to think about that answer?- No.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39When a God-fearing man like you swears on the Holy Bible
0:09:39 > 0:09:43to tell the whole truth, it's a meaningful act, right?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Right.- Do liars go to hell?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- You bet.- Make your point.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51The witness is lying, Your Honour.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Miss Cobbina, this is a medical expert...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I treat all lying witnesses the same, expert or not.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59How can you know it's a lie when you claim your client's too far gone
0:09:59 > 0:10:02to know the time of day, let alone when he was with a doctor?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Because I was there.- Now, if that were true, don't you suppose
0:10:05 > 0:10:07the doctor would have noted your presence?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11The doctor was too far gone to know the time of day, let alone who else was in the room with him.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Excuse me?- The doctor was drunk.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14SHOCKED GASPS
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I doubt that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19We can't both be telling the truth here, can we?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23So I'm asking you for a finding of fact on this, Your Honour.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Which of us is going to burn in hell?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Him...or me?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Moving on, Miss Cobbina.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36In my opinion, Rudy Jones suffered damage to his brain
0:10:36 > 0:10:39that severely limits his understanding of this process.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42He doesn't know that he's going to die.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47I'm not even sure he understands the difference between life and death.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thanks.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Dr Ambrose.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Do you believe in the death penalty?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00No, I don't.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Well, what if it were a member of your own family who were murdered?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Same answer.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Really? No retribution? No feelings of revenge?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That's why I do this work.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Excuse me?
0:11:13 > 0:11:1715 years ago, my mother was raped and beaten in her own home.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It took three days for her to die, during which time,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24she regained to consciousness once for a few minutes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27In those minutes, she spoke once.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33"Forgive those who trespass against us", were her only words.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37They found the man who killed her.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I spoke at his sentencing hearing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The state tried to stop me, but I did it, anyway,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and asked for my mother's last wishes to be respected.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51The jury decided the accused should live.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The judge overruled the jury.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00My first execution was my mother's killer.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Witnessing it gave me no feelings other than...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08..revulsion and shame.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Call Joshua Roberts.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Dad?- Mm-hm?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I want to come running with you today.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33That's not a good idea, Dan. We run at different speeds.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36But you promised.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I don't think I did, Dan.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You told me when I was 18, I could come running with you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- How old were you when I said that? - Seven.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44NICK SIGHS
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Look, er...sometimes...
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Was it a lie?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51In a way.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Have you lied to me about anything else?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57No.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Daddy, swear on Rocco's life.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I swear.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04And on my life.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08I swear.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13(OK.)
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Er...I've been with him since he got back to the facility.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Kind of like a special detail.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36And have you managed to observe the petitioner?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- You mean the prisoner?- Yes.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Well, it's my job.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43And what have you observed?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I've observed an improvement.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50How would you characterise this improvement?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Sneaky.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54I'm sorry?
0:13:54 > 0:13:59He don't talk and he don't move none when it's doctors and lawyers.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01When they're gone, he talks.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It's a miracle, or it's a lie.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Which do you think it is?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What do I know? I'm just a prison guard.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Any which way, seems he don't think us boys important enough to worry over.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16All this talking you say he does in front of you,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19it's...it's uncorroborated by independent witnesses.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Or in plain English,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23it never happens when anyone else is in the room.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Slipped up one time.- When was that?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I don't...I don't like to say.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I'm afraid you're going to have to.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's my understanding they'd never met before,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37but he was real pleased to see her.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Who?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Pretty girl, up close.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42He couldn't help himself.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'm no expert, but don't look like brain damage to me
0:14:45 > 0:14:48when a man gets roused up by a young lady.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Your Honour...?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52You saw it. I saw you see it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56"Clemency Johnson, meet Rudy Jones", you said.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Putting a tear in your eye and a smile on his face.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03There she is, sat right there.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Hi, Dad, it's me. It's...it's Clem. Um...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Something just happened.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11BIRDSONG
0:16:26 > 0:16:29In summary, therefore, I've heard unchallenged evidence
0:16:29 > 0:16:31of the petitioner's response
0:16:31 > 0:16:33to a young lady who came into his presence.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Which is clearly commensurate with mental competence.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42There's been a lot of talk about heaven and hell in my courtroom today,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45so it's sort of fitting that the quality of this evidence
0:16:45 > 0:16:49feels like it was sent from up above with a special and particular meaning.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Some kind of profound and greater justice has visited us today.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02I'm more than satisfied
0:17:02 > 0:17:05that the petitioner's competent to be executed.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09The stay is lifted.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12The execution will be carried out as directed by the warden
0:17:12 > 0:17:14of the state penitentiary 48 hours from now.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18All rise!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Clem?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35(My darling girl.)
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's not your fault. You know that, don't you?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's not you, it's them. Yes?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Yeah.- OK?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55This is Vernon Early.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Yes! Yes, it is! Hello!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Yes. And I heard what they did to Rudy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Is, er...is this OK?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I mean, we all right?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I-I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20When I testified for the state against Rudy,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24they...they told me not to talk to nobody else. Made it like a warning.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28There's no property in a witness.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31I don't understand.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Nobody owns you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You're free.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39To talk to whoever you want to, whenever you want to.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41You sound like Michael.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Michael?- Antwi.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- You knew Michael?- Yeah. I shook his hand, heard him speak.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Felt like I knew him all my life. Invited him for coffee.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I...I heard him speak just before he died.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Is that right? What'd he say?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01He said it was time to...to stand up,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03that he'd had enough of peaceful protest.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Yeah. "You come for my brother, we're coming for you."
0:19:06 > 0:19:10He talked about an alibi witness for Rudy
0:19:10 > 0:19:13who changed his evidence after a visit from the cops.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Wasn't Rudy killed Mayor Anderson.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41How do you know?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44He was with me, fixing up the truck.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Are you sure about the time?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Yeah. Cops went by on the road outside of my place.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56And an ambulance. There and back.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Rudy and me stood and watched them.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Where were they going?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Mayor Anderson's place, for the murder.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05How long was Rudy with you before the police went by?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06All morning.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09So, he couldn't have been at the Anderson house when he was killed?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Two places at one time.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Seems like niggers and the devil only two know how to pull that trick.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23See, the jury voted for the death penalty. You know why?
0:20:23 > 0:20:28White politician killed by a black man, an all-white jury?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Sure. But that wasn't the real deal-closer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36What the jury hated most was that Rudy had tried to fix the evidence.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- Mm-hm.- That he'd tried to make a good man lie on his behalf.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47"The good nigger white folk's been calling me ever since.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50"And my people?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51"What they calling me?"

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Seem like the law got some poetry in it after all.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Excuse me. Sorry.- See you later.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Hey.- Hey! It's going to be OK.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39What? How?

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Hey, it's Clem!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Well, I've got some good news!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06We want everything she tells you about Rudy Jones.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Why?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Dad!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Who are you?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I'm a friend of a friend of your father's.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You must be Dan.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25The last time I saw you, you were this tall.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- When was that?- Maybe 15 years ago.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Yeah, must be. - NICK CHUCKLES
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- My God! And how tall were you then? - Ha!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34What's funny?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Sorry. There's nothing funny.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42So, how are you, Dan?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I'm happy now, but I was sad before.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Sad? Why sad?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Because my sister left home to go to Oxford.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52But now she's in America with Mum because she has epilepsy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54They're trying to stop them from killing Rudy.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57They tried to execute him once before, but it didn't work.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Oh, but now they've found a man who can prove Rudy didn't do it.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03That's good news. What's the name of the man?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Vernon Early.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10And Daddy's been lying to me.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13That's the other reason why I was sad before, by the way.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Lying about what?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It's nothing, mate. I should, er...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It's not nothing!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I always thought you told the truth.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24You told me how important it was never to lie.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26But you've been lying to me my entire life.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29There are lies and there are lies.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I don't understand.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35It's been good. I'll explain it on the way home, yeah?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Is this where you do the press-ups?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Er...yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Show him, show your friend.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Er...Dan, look, the press-ups...
0:23:43 > 0:23:44It's true, isn't it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49You can do eight minutes?

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Right, so we file with the Supreme Court for a stay.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Will they grant it?- With evidence like this, they've got no choice.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Then we go to Washington and we just blow them away with Vern and everything they did to him.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- You OK?- Yeah.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40- They've arrested Vernon.- What?!
0:25:40 > 0:25:45For perjury. How did they know? He only talked to us.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- You didn't tell anyone?- Only Dan.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Was he with Dad?- Why?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Mum?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Who is that?- Dunno. Can't find him.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Is there a fence any more, hm?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33The police spy on the Lawrence family,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36the royal family quite liked Hitler, so, where's the fence?
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Our national treasures include the Kray twins and the Great Train Robbers.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So, who are the bad guys and who's good?

0:26:58 > 0:27:02My question is, when it comes down to it, which would you put first?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05The truth, or friendship?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08The story, or Maya Cobbina?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Who are you?

0:33:28 > 0:33:33You were spying on me...the first time you said you loved me?

0:34:54 > 0:34:56That...that...that's what it's like.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58It's exactly the same for me.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You gave them Vern!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, Maya.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Please, that wasn't me.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11Yes, he was looking for me and he found us!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13And then Dan just said it, I couldn't stop him!
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Why do they care about Rudy?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24SHE SIGHS
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It all connects.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Where are you going?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33No, no, no, no! No, Maya, you shouldn't be driving!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35What?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38You have epilepsy and you're not taking any medication.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Come on, it's...it's not safe.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Maya, I don't want you to die.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Get out of my way!
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'll be right outside.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42He's right by my side.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Who is?- Jesus Christ.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Can I ask you about Michael Antwi?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Jesus wants to ask you something first.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- What does he want? - Can he have a look at your breasts?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Then he'll let you ask about the golliwog.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Can you speak to me without Jesus interrupting?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Can you do that?
0:37:04 > 0:37:05(Can you give me five minutes?)
0:37:07 > 0:37:08(Yeah?)
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Yeah.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- You pleaded guilty to manslaughter. - He told me to.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Who did - Jesus?
0:37:21 > 0:37:22My QC.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24That would be unethical.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26I don't know about that, but I can quote you what he said.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28He leant forward, spoke very quietly.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31"The evidence is very strong, the offer's very good. If you fight this,
0:37:31 > 0:37:35"there's a high chance you'll go down for murder, which means life imprisonment.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37"My advice is to plead guilty to manslaughter.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39"Of course, it's entirely a matter for you."
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Here I am, 20 years later.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44You're a violent racist.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48You hate me because of the colour of my skin.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52The chances of me feeling sorry for you are very, very small.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55But here you are, 20 years later.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58I love violence.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02And to be good at it, you have to be committed.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04You can't hold back, you have to get in fast and hard,
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- shock the fuck out of people.- Argh!
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Then they go down quickly and easily.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11It's the surprise that counts.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16The look on people's faces when they get hit by me is never pain, it's amazement.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27That didn't happen with your boy in there, it was a faceoff.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31'Then it was a fight.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34'Neither of us was surprised when it happened.'
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Yargh!
0:38:39 > 0:38:41What are you saying?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44What I'm saying is he gave as good as he got.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48What...are you saying?
0:38:51 > 0:38:52(Ask Jesus.)
0:38:55 > 0:38:58What are you...what are you saying?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Show him your breasts and he'll tell you.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Hm.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46When they pulled me out of the cell and took me away...
0:39:48 > 0:39:50..your nigger boy wasn't dead.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I failed.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59You failed?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02They told me to kill him.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06I had him on the march and then some big shot coon stepped in!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Nick?- Hm?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Um...why did they want him dead?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Why did they want Michael dead?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Jesus saved me from them.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Saved you from who?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24From the ones who told me to kill him!
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Who?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35The CIA!
0:40:40 > 0:40:42SHE EXHALES
0:40:52 > 0:40:54SHE EXHALES
0:40:58 > 0:40:59SHE SOBS
0:41:03 > 0:41:05SHE EXHALES
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Where is she?
0:41:23 > 0:41:25LOW CHATTER
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Are you all right?- Yeah.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35You wanted to meet, but you haven't said why.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40You don't know where she is, do you?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46She's...got more cautious.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50It's harder to get to her. Makes my job harder.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53What are you saying?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55You've got to let me know more.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59You have to let me in so I can ask the right questions.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07What happened to Michael Antwi that night?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- You don't need to know.- Do you know?
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- No.- Come on! That doesn't...that doesn't work any more.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- What?- How do you know what to ask me if you don't know what the truth is?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Are you losing it, Nick?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Like you lost it the last time?
0:42:30 > 0:42:31No.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35You have to trust me.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Just hold your nerve.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44What do you want?
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I want the truth about what happened that night.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I know he didn't die in the cell.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55There's something you don't know about me.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I'm dying.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I have six months.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04What, you think I'm going to talk to you
0:43:04 > 0:43:08because they can't hurt a dying man? I have six months life left in me.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11I am not going to spend it with you, trying to explain the past.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I could witness summons you.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19You could, but you're a decent human being.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21You won't do that to me.
0:43:22 > 0:43:28OK, just forget that I'm a lawyer and that you're a police officer.
0:43:29 > 0:43:34Just the truth now. No-one else, just you and me.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44They pulled him out the cell.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Go, go. Just get in there, get him out!
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Go! Go! Go!
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Get him off! Get off!
0:43:54 > 0:43:59- Hold him!- Hold him down!
0:43:59 > 0:44:03- Get his legs! Hold him!- Stay still!
0:44:03 > 0:44:07- Argh!- Stop struggling!
0:44:07 > 0:44:11- Stay still!- Hold him!
0:44:13 > 0:44:17We got him, we got him!
0:44:17 > 0:44:21- Stay still!- It's fine.- Hold him. - Stay still!
0:44:27 > 0:44:32Who put Michael in the cell with Peter Mackie?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35It starts with a mistake.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Good people make a mistake.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44But the mistake isn't it. That's not the story.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49You've been trying to prosecute the mistake
0:44:49 > 0:44:52when you should be going after what happened afterwards.
0:44:55 > 0:45:00Trimble put them in a cell together, but he'd be the wrong man.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Start with the wrong man.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Thank you.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21That's how he died.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27He was alive when he came out of the cell.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30The police officers who pulled him out,
0:45:30 > 0:45:32they thought he was fighting them.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37He was struggling to breathe
0:45:37 > 0:45:40and they took his struggles for resistance.
0:45:40 > 0:45:45So, the held him down, his chest pressed hard against the floor.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53Positional Asphyxiation is the term.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03Justice. Finally.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06No.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11I need to ask your permission for something.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Yes?
0:46:15 > 0:46:19Not to prosecute the men who did this.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Why?
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Because there are bigger fish.
0:46:27 > 0:46:33Much bigger, much more dangerous, untouched by guilt or remorse.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37Those are the people that should pay for Michael's death.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44You are like a daughter to me.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50I lost a son and gained a daughter.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56The answer is yes.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Thank you for seeing me, Mr Trimble.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54I know why you're here.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59I've been waiting for this.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04There's a tape.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Right. Do you know where is it?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12It's here. I've got it.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Can I have a look?
0:48:48 > 0:48:51I don't understand. I can't hear what he's saying.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53There's no sound.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56"Take the hit," he says. The Scotsman.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59And I did.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Who is he?
0:49:01 > 0:49:03I don't know. I mean, I can't find him.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05He was there on the day and I thought
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- he must be the Duty Inspector. - You've looked for him?
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Of course - for 20 years. There's nothing.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17- Take the hit for who? - Well, I don't know.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20I can't find the Scotsman, so I can't find anything else.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Take the hit for what?
0:49:25 > 0:49:28He put Michael Antwi and Peter Mackie in the cell together.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Are there any other tapes?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43All gone.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02They're pawns - Mackie, Rose, Trimble.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04They're all foot soldiers, all three.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Well, why have you come back here?
0:50:06 > 0:50:08I don't trust anyone else.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10You could go home...
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Have you got enough on them?
0:50:16 > 0:50:21I could prosecute them all tomorrow - the broken man, the dying man,
0:50:21 > 0:50:24the man who doesn't know who he is unless Jesus or the CIA tells him.
0:50:24 > 0:50:29How did he get like that? How did you get like this?
0:50:29 > 0:50:30Who's responsible?
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Julia?
0:50:39 > 0:50:42'I need to see you. It's really important Maya.'
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Where did you get this?
0:50:53 > 0:50:55A colleague took it.
0:50:59 > 0:51:00The Scotsman.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05What? Who's the Scotsman?
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Can I take this?
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Yeah, yeah. It's a copy.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16What's happening, Maya, hm?
0:51:42 > 0:51:45- Mum?- Hello.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48- I waited up for you.- Aw!
0:51:58 > 0:52:01- You found him. - What are you talking about?
0:52:01 > 0:52:04What is Dad doing with him? Where did you get this?
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Who is he?
0:52:07 > 0:52:09The man who found Rocco.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13He was here in the house?
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Yeah. Obviously.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Mum?
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- You raped me.- What? No.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38- Yes.- No, Maya, I...
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Stop saying my name.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43You are a rapist.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45I gave my consent...
0:52:45 > 0:52:50I fell in love with someone who isn't you.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52Who are you?
0:52:55 > 0:52:57I can't tell you about that.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00That is a choice. You've chosen them over me.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02- No, no, no. It's not a choice.- It's always a choice.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05They'd kill me if they knew I'd disclosed to you!
0:53:05 > 0:53:08But you tell them everything about me. Isn't that right, Nick?
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Nothing held back.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15What have you told them about Michael Antwi?
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Nick?
0:53:21 > 0:53:26Abigail Strickland was found dead two minutes away from where
0:53:26 > 0:53:29I was supposed to talk to her about Michael Antwi.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33She was coming to see me. Was that you?
0:53:34 > 0:53:37Huh?!
0:53:38 > 0:53:41Who's this?
0:53:43 > 0:53:44Where did you get this?
0:53:44 > 0:53:47What's his name?
0:53:47 > 0:53:49What's his name?
0:53:53 > 0:53:56They killed her.
0:53:56 > 0:53:57You killed her.
0:54:00 > 0:54:05An ex-crack addict overdosing on heroin down some shitty alley?
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Couldn't they do better?
0:54:10 > 0:54:12You're still doing it, aren't you?
0:54:13 > 0:54:18You tell them everything and you tell me nothing.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20You have chosen!
0:54:20 > 0:54:22What kind of a monster are you?
0:54:38 > 0:54:40This, this is what I have done for you.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43Because I love you so much and I could not bear to see you hurt.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45What's this?
0:54:45 > 0:54:47I loved him.
0:54:48 > 0:54:53You would have loved him. He was a great man.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56The children would have had a grandfather.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59And I didn't even go to his funeral.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10I loved him so much. This is all I've got left.
0:55:10 > 0:55:15Maya, they forced me to come back.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18They threatened me. They blackmailed me.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- Nobody can know the truth. - That is not for you to decide.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24All right, well, this is what will happen if it the truth gets out.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27- I'm not listening to you, I...- I can say this! I'm allowed to say this!
0:55:27 > 0:55:29- Shut up!- I'm allowed to say this. I'm allowed.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31They're my children too!
0:55:31 > 0:55:34It will be the end of the Antwi investigation.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36It will be the end of Rudy, cos they will make damn sure
0:55:36 > 0:55:38they kill him a second time round.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41It will be the end of our family - Dan, Ella, Clemmie, destroyed.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43You've imagined this and you've rehearsed it.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Yeah, of course, I have.
0:55:45 > 0:55:49I have lived in fear of this moment happening for all our time together.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52The more I've loved you, the bigger the fear.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54I've looked at the smiling faces of our kids
0:55:54 > 0:55:58and I've been terrified, that they would find out.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Nothing uncontaminated.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08You cannot let this out.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Oh!
0:56:40 > 0:56:43I'll never trust you again.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46I will never sleep in the same bed as you again.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50You will never touch me.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57But you're right...
0:56:59 > 0:57:01..we have to stay together.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04You have trapped me.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21Mark?
0:57:23 > 0:57:25What?
0:57:27 > 0:57:30Hold on.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36Vernon Early is dead.
0:57:39 > 0:57:43He died of a heart attack in a police station.
0:57:45 > 0:57:49Another black man, another heart attack.
0:57:49 > 0:57:50You did this.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Who's next, Nick?
