0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08A dead child, Nick, with the same date of birth as you,

0:00:08 > 0:00:10the same place of birth on his death certificate.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15You were spying on me the first time you said you loved me?

0:00:15 > 0:00:18When Michael told me there was drugs in his shoe,

0:00:18 > 0:00:20I nearly took him right back to Customs!

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Abigail Strickland was found dead two minutes away

0:00:25 > 0:00:28from where I was supposed to talk to her about Michael Antwi.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30She was coming to see me!

0:00:30 > 0:00:34It's big. Nick is into something very dark.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36So my question is, when it comes down to it,

0:00:36 > 0:00:38which will you put first?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40The story or Maya Cobbina?

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm not going quietly. You have to go big.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Wasn't Rudy killed Mayor Anderson.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49He was with me, fixing up a truck.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52But now they've found a man who can prove Rudy didn't do it.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53What's the name of the man?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Vernon Early.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00When they pulled me out the cell and took me away...

0:01:01 > 0:01:03..your boy wasn't dead.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05She's not joining up any of the dots.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Much bigger. Much more dangerous.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Those are the people that should pay for Michael's death.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15We've taken out an insurance policy.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17On the whole family.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18I don't know your name.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20No. My name is Lola.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Vernon Early is dead.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27He died of a heart attack in a police station.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28You did this.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Who's next, Nick?

0:01:39 > 0:01:40Maya.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Maya, please.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Again and again, men die in police custody.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52There is a small fuss,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55but the house doesn't come tumbling down like it should.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58But this time they are frightened. This time they are behaving

0:01:58 > 0:02:01like the world might just fall apart if they're not careful.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Why? Why Michael?

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Why me?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10I... I don't know.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Then there's no way back for us.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21But I can find out. DOOR SLAMS SHUT

0:02:52 > 0:02:53KNOCKING

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Yes?

0:02:54 > 0:02:55How did it go?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57There won't be any prosecutions

0:02:57 > 0:03:00of any police officers in the Antwi case.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02It's not in the public interest.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39DOOR OPENS

0:03:39 > 0:03:41So that's it?

0:03:41 > 0:03:42What?

0:03:42 > 0:03:43It's over?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47None of the coppers?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Where do you live?

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Muswell Hill.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16And how old are you?

0:04:17 > 0:04:1822.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Are you happy?

0:04:27 > 0:04:28No.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Do you want to have a wrestle with me?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Sure. But maybe we should go somewhere.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42My house is nice.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43OK.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44OK.

0:04:51 > 0:04:51Hello?

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Hello?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Can we do it? Yeah.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12GIGGLING

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Take this off.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47GIGGLING

0:05:54 > 0:05:57# When I am with you There's no place I'd rather be

0:05:57 > 0:06:01# No, no, no, no, no No place I'd rather be

0:06:01 > 0:06:05# No, no, no, no, no No place I'd rather be... #

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Dad?

0:06:31 > 0:06:32This is Lola.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34She's my best friend.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh!

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well, hello, Lola.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Hello.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51You're doing the right thing. You think?

0:06:51 > 0:06:55My father had a friend, a German Jew called Conrad.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58He discovered after Conrad died that he'd been

0:06:58 > 0:07:01a Sonderkommando at Auschwitz. Do you know what that is?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yes, um, Jews who worked as guards.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Jews with a choice. Suicide or do what you're told.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10They escorted people selected to die to the gas chambers,

0:07:10 > 0:07:12and they didn't tell them.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15They didn't say, "This is not a shower you're going to."

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Why are you telling me this?

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Telling the truth can be the opposite of a good idea.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24John Halliday.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27The CPS lawyer who was at the police station

0:07:27 > 0:07:29the night that Michael Antwi died.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Mm-hmm? What's the issue?

0:07:32 > 0:07:36He took a very early decision to charge Peter Mackie,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39even though the evidence was unclear and there were some obvious holes.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Why are you asking me about this?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Well, I was wondering if it would be embarrassing to you

0:07:45 > 0:07:47if we took a better look at him.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Why would it be?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52He's a very senior CPS lawyer on your watch.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Are you embarrassed?

0:07:54 > 0:07:55No.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Then neither am I.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00What do you think of him?

0:08:02 > 0:08:03We've never met.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Tea? Coffee?

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Is there something you want to say?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Michael Antwi was a drugs mule.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44He came through Heathrow with a stash.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49Personal use?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Intent to supply.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57There's more, isn't there?

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Yes.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Mrs Antwi, she knew.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Later?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15No, at the time. She knew that her son was importing.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20The saintly Mrs A.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Not so saintly after all.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Thank you.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33That wasn't easy, was it?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39What's, er, what's happening with the Abigail murder?

0:09:41 > 0:09:42How do you mean?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Where's the investigation going?

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I don't know. Why not?

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh, Jesus Christ.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Jesus Christ. You know what this is like,

0:09:57 > 0:10:00you know how vulnerable I am, and, and what? Silence.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Oh, you know what? Forget it. Forget it.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I am done with this shit, I'm out.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Wait.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24I was a paedophile.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29They all came to me and I set them up with what they wanted.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Girls.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Boys.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Pick and mix.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I was the Woolworths of depravity.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44And they were arrested when they went to the rendezvous?

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Yeah.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48So you were locking up monsters.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Two things about paedophiles...

0:10:53 > 0:10:55They really feel they're offering love.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00And they feel really sorry for themselves when they're caught.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09What happened?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16My whole life became the paedo unit.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23"Just be home for bath time," my wife said, "that's all I want.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27"Bath and bed, then the children will feel like they have a father."

0:11:29 > 0:11:30I couldn't go home without crying.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34And I couldn't cry, because...

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Because we don't do that, do we?

0:11:40 > 0:11:45And I couldn't explain it, so I stopped coming home.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Do you see your children now?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58I know you much, much better than I know my children.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I need to know what I'm doing.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I can't go on without knowing why I am spying on my own wife.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14My job is to keep you happy.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20If you're unhappy, then I have failed.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22So help me.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Why do I matter so much?

0:12:29 > 0:12:34The Fever Club. One o'clock, tomorrow afternoon.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Knowingly importing cannabis with her son.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47This came from Corrigan?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Indirectly.

0:12:49 > 0:12:50It has to have come from Nick.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Why are you so sure?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Mrs Antwi lived with them after Michael died.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58They were like a surrogate family to her. She must have told him.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00What are you thinking?

0:13:00 > 0:13:01How many coppers do you know?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Dozens. Why?

0:13:03 > 0:13:07I pay them for stories. Or the newspaper does, or did.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08Back-scratching.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, yeah.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12You scratch mine, I'll scratch yours.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13Yeah, yeah.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16The press and the police. Corrigan.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18And Nick.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20He's a copper?

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Nick's a copper.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Oh, God.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29Oh, God. He's an undercover police officer, isn't he?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Fuck.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Where have you been?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Um...

0:13:49 > 0:13:51I've been to see my handler.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00What did you tell him?

0:14:02 > 0:14:04That Michael Antwi was a drug importer,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07and that Mrs Antwi knew what he was doing.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Oh, God.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Ohh...

0:14:16 > 0:14:18It was the biggest thing I had to give.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22There's nothing I won't do for them.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27I'm their man.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30They believe in me.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34They... They BELIEVE they can trust me completely.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41What are you... What are you saying?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45You need someone at the heart of the story, on the inside,

0:14:45 > 0:14:47gathering all the evidence.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52You.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54I am on your side.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I can work for you now.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04They trust you.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15All you have to do is...trust me.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21We're being fed.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22Why would they do that? What?

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Because this isn't the real thing.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28The real story is bigger and they can kill it with this.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32The Director of Public Prosecutions

0:15:32 > 0:15:34is married to an undercover police officer.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36That's our big, that's our story.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39What does it tell you if Corrigan is giving us something this big?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42How big does that make the story he doesn't want us to have?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52I can't find the Scotsman. I've never had this before.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Who the hell is he?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Keep following Nick. He's going to take us up the ladder.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Aargh!

0:17:04 > 0:17:06What happened?

0:17:06 > 0:17:11I was running and I didn't see the kerb, I tripped, you know,

0:17:11 > 0:17:13went down. I put my hand out to break my fall and...

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Like some stupid cartoon, innit?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Get it seen to.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23Yeah.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27I know why you're here.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35You going to tell me, or...?

0:17:35 > 0:17:36It's written all over you.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44There was a UC inside the Richardson family.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46Did you know that?

0:17:46 > 0:17:51Yeah. Charlie had a personal pilot for his private jet,

0:17:51 > 0:17:52he was Old Bill.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55The stress was unbelievable.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Inside the IRA, very tough.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04None of them came out emotionally intact.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08But spying on your own wife?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Probably the hardest of the lot.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17We are very grateful.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Is that it?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Is that it? "Thank you"?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25"Thank you for all you've been doing"?

0:18:25 > 0:18:30I am betraying my wife every day, and what do you give me in return?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Loud and clear, you don't trust me.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Has she ever suspected?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38No.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Are you sure about that? I'm sure.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I did think about what would happen if she did find out.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50And...

0:18:53 > 0:18:54..I would die.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Do you know that?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01It would feel like dying, anyway.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04That's the risk I run for you.

0:19:07 > 0:19:14Your man in the, the Richardson family, he knew what he was doing.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17That bloke in the IRA, same thing.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21I don't know what I'm FOR.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27I gave you Abi.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30I gave up one of our own for you.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33You've made me part of a conspiracy to murder.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I gave you Michael's mum, man.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Michael's mum, who is probably...

0:19:41 > 0:19:44..probably the best human being I have ever met.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49How much more of me do you want without telling me

0:19:49 > 0:19:51what this is all for?

0:20:52 > 0:20:55You tell your Scotch guv'nor I don't need his protection,

0:20:55 > 0:20:59especially from a total amateur like you. I'm not...

0:20:59 > 0:21:01What? You're not what?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Who are you?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13You're press.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21He's wobbling.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Christ.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Now? Just when...

0:21:26 > 0:21:28He's right on the edge.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Is it, is it time?

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Let me hear you say it, Halliday.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42You know...

0:21:42 > 0:21:44What?

0:21:48 > 0:21:49Not yet.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50That's plan B.

0:21:50 > 0:21:51Plan A?

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Let him know how much we need him,

0:21:53 > 0:21:55and a little bit of why.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Meaning?

0:21:56 > 0:21:57Get him Greenlaw.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05Sure.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24HE GROANS

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Why does he need to see me?

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Because you're impressive.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35What's that supposed to mean?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37You sleep with all sorts of women half your age

0:22:37 > 0:22:40who are not your wife, for example.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I don't think they're doing that just because of your looks.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Power impresses.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49"Call me Minister, bitch." One of your lines, I'm told.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50I'm not frightened of you, spook.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52You should be. You're all bluff.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's a long way down your nose to me.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'm not seeing him. I won't risk it.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I'm only going to say this once.

0:22:59 > 0:23:04You do what I say or I will cut your smaller-than-average penis off,

0:23:04 > 0:23:07chop it up and send slices of spotted dick

0:23:07 > 0:23:08to all the women in your life.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38METAL DETECTOR BEEPS

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Oh, sorry.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43I forgot.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Mr Johnson?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Here's your pass. Thanks.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Please, follow me.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19KNOCKING

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Yeah.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Mr Johnson to see you, Minister.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30So it must stop you from swimming.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Er, yeah.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Running.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38How do you know?

0:24:38 > 0:24:39The plaster.

0:24:39 > 0:24:44Yeah, right. But I mean, how do you know I'm a triathlete?

0:24:44 > 0:24:45I'm well-briefed.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47By who?

0:24:50 > 0:24:51You all talk to each other?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55We are very grateful for what you do.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59Now, I know it's impossible for any public recognition to come your way,

0:24:59 > 0:25:03so this is the best we can do, I'm afraid.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05But what have I done?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09What am I for?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13We've been working for this moment.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Together we've been making sure that police officers

0:25:16 > 0:25:22who made a small mistake a very long time ago are not put on trial.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Why not?

0:25:26 > 0:25:31We live in a tolerant society, and none of us want to disturb that.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34And after 20 years, we are so glad that the DPP

0:25:34 > 0:25:36understands how right we've been.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41So I give information to my handler,

0:25:41 > 0:25:46and it works its way all the way up to you.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49And the world is a safer place.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Yes.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I got it.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03I got it.

0:26:06 > 0:26:07DOOR OPENS

0:26:15 > 0:26:17There's something else.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24It's time you knew...

0:26:24 > 0:26:25about Michael Antwi.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11Aaah!

0:27:33 > 0:27:35'Maya, it's me. Uh...'

0:27:37 > 0:27:38'I didn't get it.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41'The listening device didn't work. I'm, I'm sorry.'

0:27:43 > 0:27:44I don't believe you.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Maya? No, Maya, Maya!

0:28:25 > 0:28:27You didn't bring the daughter this time.

0:28:27 > 0:28:28Maya.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31Pity.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34I'm really sorry she didn't get to know Vernon Early

0:28:34 > 0:28:35better before he passed.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38You know, I, I just wonder what gets you up in the morning?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Well, this morning I'm thinking,

0:28:42 > 0:28:46"Well, here I am in Washington and I'm going to the highest

0:28:46 > 0:28:50"court in the land. But God only knows what we're doing here.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54Because, rest his soul, Mr Early isn't with us any more

0:28:54 > 0:28:56So what?

0:28:56 > 0:28:59We here to watch Maya Cobbina beg for mercy?

0:29:05 > 0:29:06Come on.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Right. We don't have Vernon, so we don't have the truth.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26So what are we doing?

0:29:29 > 0:29:30We're going big.

0:29:49 > 0:29:50Miss Cobbina?

0:29:50 > 0:29:53Yes. 20 minutes at the podium. Not a second more.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55We'll cut you off if you go over.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56Do you want a light?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Er, yes, please, um, two minutes, then one.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01OK. Red light means your time's up. I'll get them in.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07All rise.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Please be seated.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23Miss Cobbina.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:30:38 > 0:30:41The death penalty is unconstitutional,

0:30:41 > 0:30:43because it is in breach of the Eighth Amendment,

0:30:43 > 0:30:46forbidding cruel and unusual punishments.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49Something that the Constitution contemplates

0:30:49 > 0:30:51can't be unconstitutional, Ms Cobbina.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53Like slavery?

0:30:53 > 0:30:56I'm sorry, what's the connection?

0:30:56 > 0:30:58The original text of the Constitution

0:30:58 > 0:31:02contemplates that a slave was valued at three-fifths of a person.

0:31:02 > 0:31:06So...? So the Constitution has amendments

0:31:06 > 0:31:08because the world changes.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Slavery was wrong, but our founding fathers

0:31:11 > 0:31:13didn't realise quite how wrong back then.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18The Constitution was written on paper by ordinary mortals,

0:31:18 > 0:31:22not in stone by supermen, which is why it evolves,

0:31:22 > 0:31:24which is why it has amendments, including the eighth.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27I don't need a lecture on constitutional theory from you.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31Every American has the right and obligation

0:31:31 > 0:31:34to read and interpret the Constitution for himself.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37That's pompous. And patronising.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38It's Thomas Jefferson.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41I'm an Englishwoman,

0:31:41 > 0:31:44and I know the Constitution of the United States backwards.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Not because I'm a lawyer,

0:31:46 > 0:31:49but because I love the language it contains.

0:31:49 > 0:31:56Its genius is that its, its words are unrestricted by history,

0:31:56 > 0:31:58tradition, precedent.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Their genius is that they leave all of us -

0:32:01 > 0:32:02people, lawyers, Justices -

0:32:02 > 0:32:05free to take meaning not from reading the Constitution

0:32:05 > 0:32:07but from reading life.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Why don't you get to the substance of your argument?

0:32:09 > 0:32:14The fact of being on death row is cruel and unconstitutional.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16Prisoners on death row,

0:32:16 > 0:32:20including those who say they are innocent, are, are abandoning

0:32:20 > 0:32:22appeals against execution because they can't take it any more.

0:32:22 > 0:32:28Um, Javier Suarez Medina in Texas was asked on 11 occasions

0:32:28 > 0:32:30how he'd like his bodily remains disposed of.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34Larry Lonchar in Georgia was 58 seconds away from execution

0:32:34 > 0:32:35when it was stayed.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37This evidence is anecdotal.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40The last ten executions in Florida, the condemned men

0:32:40 > 0:32:44have spent an average of 25 years on death row.

0:32:44 > 0:32:45That's 25 years living in,

0:32:45 > 0:32:48in terrible conditions with terrible thoughts for company.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51The solution to which would be modifying the environment

0:32:51 > 0:32:54rather than abolishing the death penalty.

0:32:54 > 0:32:55Move on, Miss Cobbina.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56It's racist.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00Black people are more likely to be given the death sentence

0:33:00 > 0:33:02than white people, and that is hugely increased

0:33:02 > 0:33:05if the accused is black and the victim is white.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Men and women are on death row not because of the egregiousness

0:33:07 > 0:33:10of their crimes, but because of the colour of their skin.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Plus, the chances of being given the death sentence depend on

0:33:13 > 0:33:16on which state and in which county the crime is committed.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18I mean, don't live in Waterbury County, Connecticut,

0:33:18 > 0:33:20if you're being tried for murder because, if you are,

0:33:20 > 0:33:23if you are convicted, you're near certain to die.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26Geography was never what our founding fathers had in mind

0:33:26 > 0:33:30when determining who should die and who should be spared.

0:33:30 > 0:33:35Bottom line, Ms Cobbina. The people decide. Not lawyers.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Not you and me with our data and statistics,

0:33:37 > 0:33:40but real people sitting as juries.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43I know of no argument for reassigning

0:33:43 > 0:33:46the sacred duty of 12 jurors to lawyers.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49Are you done?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53No, no, I have one more argument.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Make it in the next two minutes.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Pain.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00Excuse me?

0:34:01 > 0:34:04The lethal injection is cruel and unconstitutional

0:34:04 > 0:34:08because of the pain it causes. You have to show that

0:34:08 > 0:34:12the execution - I'm quoting from Baze here -

0:34:12 > 0:34:16"..is sure or very likely to cause needless suffering."

0:34:16 > 0:34:20Lethal injection is far and away the most humane

0:34:20 > 0:34:23and dignified method of execution.

0:34:24 > 0:34:30North Korea uses anti-aircraft guns to execute enemies of the state.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Instant death. Saudi Arabia beheads people

0:34:33 > 0:34:36with razor-sharp swords - one swipe and you're headless.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39Albert Pierrepoint in dark old 1950s England

0:34:39 > 0:34:42could hang a man in eight seconds flat.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46And we look down on them all for being brutal and inhumane,

0:34:46 > 0:34:51but none cause the kind of suffering that I saw Rudy Jones go through.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55There's no conclusive evidence of pain in lethal injection procedure.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58There's clear and profound disagreement

0:34:58 > 0:35:00amongst the experts on this.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02The burden is on you to prove it.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05You haven't discharged that burden on the evidence.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Justice Scarrow is right. You can't prove the pain.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11That's because the medication hides everything.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13That is the point of the three-drug cocktail.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16So everything looks nice and clean and,

0:35:16 > 0:35:19and nobody is offended by what they're actually seeing.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21You show us the evidence, fine.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23But you can't, can you?

0:35:23 > 0:35:24You can't do that.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30MAN: I can.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36The petitioner has had her 20 minutes

0:35:36 > 0:35:40and there's no provision for a live witness in the Supreme Court.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41He's right.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48You don't want to hear evidence

0:35:48 > 0:35:52from a man who is unique in American history

0:35:52 > 0:35:58in having experienced the lethal injection and survived it?

0:35:59 > 0:36:01The rules here matter more than justice?

0:36:01 > 0:36:05What, the highest court in the land doesn't have time for him?

0:36:06 > 0:36:09He...he's waited 20 years for this.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12The first three words of the Constitution

0:36:12 > 0:36:15of the United States - "We the people."

0:36:18 > 0:36:21Is Rudy Jones of the people or not?

0:36:53 > 0:36:56I didn't want to make it easy because I didn't want to die.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00I didn't want to die because I didn't do the crime

0:37:00 > 0:37:02I was being executed for.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09I fought them because they were murdering me.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15From the holding cell to the death cell

0:37:15 > 0:37:19to the strap-down in the death chamber,

0:37:19 > 0:37:21I was fighting for my life.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23I didn't make a last statement, because that's a part of it,

0:37:23 > 0:37:27the sham that this is normal human behaviour.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33That it isn't just profoundly shameful

0:37:33 > 0:37:38for the state to put men to death like dogs.

0:37:39 > 0:37:44I was fighting and fighting, but then it started.

0:37:46 > 0:37:51The pain was so bad, so intense.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58I felt my dignity leave like a soul departing.

0:38:00 > 0:38:01And then it got worse.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06I-I couldn't move.

0:38:06 > 0:38:07I couldn't speak.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11I was entombed with the agony.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17And then I couldn't breathe.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22I went in fighting for my life...

0:38:26 > 0:38:29..and spent the next 90 minutes...

0:38:35 > 0:38:37..hoping to die.

0:38:39 > 0:38:45You put a gun to the head of the elected mayor of Baton Rouge.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Oh, I wish I had.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50I wish I had the courage.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52But, no, sir. I did not.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Then who did?

0:38:54 > 0:38:58You expect me to entrust the name of another human being to you,

0:38:58 > 0:39:02to this, knowing what I know about justice in this country?

0:39:06 > 0:39:07I won't do it.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10That's a contempt of court.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12I think we've heard enough from you, Mr Livermore.

0:39:15 > 0:39:20This was cruel and this was unusual, and anyone on this bench

0:39:20 > 0:39:28or in this courtroom who says it wasn't is inhuman and un-American.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Tell him I want to meet.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07Who?

0:40:07 > 0:40:08Brady.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10You just missed him.

0:40:10 > 0:40:11Oh.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14Why?

0:40:14 > 0:40:16To give him the full story.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Why would you do that?

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Cos there's nothing left.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25Well, it won't be the truth. It'll be self-serving. Can't imagine...

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Only the truth. That's all it can be.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32So why not here with me, now?

0:40:32 > 0:40:37Because he's a hard-nosed bastard and you are Maya's best friend.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Meaning...?

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Meaning I don't trust you to do it.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45That's a compliment, by the way.

0:40:49 > 0:40:5411 o'clock tomorrow morning. Tell him to be there.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57And tell him to keep himself hidden

0:40:57 > 0:40:59until I let him know it's clear to talk.

0:41:00 > 0:41:01Tomorrow.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Tomorrow.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Dad?

0:42:41 > 0:42:44I, er, I wanted to tell you something myself

0:42:44 > 0:42:46before you read about it in the paper.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48OK.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12You found your voice.

0:43:13 > 0:43:14I guess.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Why didn't you tell me?

0:43:18 > 0:43:20I wanted to save it for here,

0:43:20 > 0:43:23so the Justices could hear it straight from me,

0:43:23 > 0:43:24straight from the pain.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27You forgive me?

0:43:39 > 0:43:41He deserved to die.

0:43:50 > 0:43:52Are you still my dad?

0:43:58 > 0:44:00Well, then it's OK.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04It's OK.

0:44:08 > 0:44:12Um, do you remember that, er, clearing in the woods...?

0:44:12 > 0:44:14Where Rocco caught that pigeon?

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Yeah, that's it.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20Um, tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock

0:44:20 > 0:44:24I'm going to meet a reporter there called Alex Brady,

0:44:24 > 0:44:29and I'm going to tell him exactly what I've just told you.

0:44:31 > 0:44:32And then what?

0:44:37 > 0:44:39Well, er, then life can go on.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43We can all go and live in Cornwall together?

0:44:43 > 0:44:46And you and me, we could, we could go running?

0:44:57 > 0:45:01Um, you mustn't tell anybody.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Now, I understand that might be hard.

0:45:05 > 0:45:06No-one?

0:45:06 > 0:45:09Would you like to tell someone?

0:45:10 > 0:45:12Would, would that make it easier?

0:45:12 > 0:45:13Yeah.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Er, what about your best friend?

0:45:20 > 0:45:21Lola?

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Yeah.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25I promised her I'd tell her everything.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28Oh, well, good.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31OK. Thank you.

0:45:31 > 0:45:35All right. Come on now. Time to get some sleep.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37OK.

0:45:37 > 0:45:38OK.

0:45:40 > 0:45:41See you tomorrow.

0:45:41 > 0:45:42See you tomorrow.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15Lola. It's Dan.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18There's something I want to tell you.

0:46:19 > 0:46:21It's very important.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40I'm back!

0:46:41 > 0:46:43Hey.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44What are you doing?

0:46:48 > 0:46:49Hello!

0:46:51 > 0:46:54Dad's not here. He hasn't been here all morning.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59Well, we saved Rudy.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03Well done, Mummy. I knew you'd do it.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10Dad should be here. Why is he not here?

0:47:12 > 0:47:14I'm going to, I'm going to put my stuff upstairs.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16I'll be down in a minute.

0:47:19 > 0:47:20Mum?

0:47:40 > 0:47:42'This is my story.'

0:47:43 > 0:47:45'Story, I think,

0:47:45 > 0:47:47'is the best word for anything autobiographical,

0:47:47 > 0:47:52'because few of us can resist the temptation to make the rag-bag

0:47:52 > 0:47:55'of incoherent happenings that make up a life

0:47:55 > 0:47:57'into something meaningful,

0:47:57 > 0:48:01'and before we know it and without us intending it,

0:48:01 > 0:48:04'truth becomes fiction.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07'We're all writers, really.'

0:48:08 > 0:48:11'Remembering, for me, anyway, is not easy,

0:48:11 > 0:48:15'because one life has become confused with another,

0:48:15 > 0:48:18'and the second life, as you now know,

0:48:18 > 0:48:20'had more than one life inside it.'

0:48:21 > 0:48:25'Nevertheless, this is my best shot at the truth.'

0:48:27 > 0:48:31'When you read this, your life will have become much more complicated,

0:48:31 > 0:48:35'in order that it should become simpler sooner.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36'I hope you will come to see

0:48:36 > 0:48:39'that what I am about to do is an act of love.

0:48:39 > 0:48:43'Look after Dan. His girlfriend is not what she seems.'

0:48:53 > 0:48:56Police, please. There's going to be a murder.

0:48:59 > 0:49:00Mum, is everything all right?

0:49:06 > 0:49:08I have to tell you about Dad.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13I have to tell you about me and Dad.

0:49:36 > 0:49:40I don't understand. How could he?

0:49:40 > 0:49:42You should ask him.

0:49:42 > 0:49:46I can't. We can't, because he's gone.

0:49:46 > 0:49:47I know where he is.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50Where is he?

0:49:50 > 0:49:52He told me not to tell anyone.

0:49:52 > 0:49:54Where is he, Dan?

0:49:57 > 0:49:59He's gone to tell a reporter the truth.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02When? In 15 minutes.

0:50:02 > 0:50:04No. 14 minutes and 30 seconds.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06He told you that?

0:50:08 > 0:50:10And he told you not to tell anyone?

0:50:10 > 0:50:13He says I can tell my best friend.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15Who's your best friend?

0:50:15 > 0:50:18My girlfriend. Lola.

0:50:18 > 0:50:19I love her.

0:50:23 > 0:50:28Dan...you have to tell me where Dad is.

0:50:29 > 0:50:31It's very important.

0:50:31 > 0:50:32You have to tell me.

0:50:35 > 0:50:36He's in the forest.

0:50:38 > 0:50:39Where Rocco caught the pigeon.

0:50:41 > 0:50:45He said, when he's done, life can go on.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53I'll take the front.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26That's Dad's bike. Come on!

0:51:54 > 0:51:57Oh, my God, Mum! Are you OK? Dan, run!

0:51:57 > 0:52:00Hold on to me. Are you all right?

0:52:43 > 0:52:44NO!

0:52:54 > 0:52:55GUNSHOT

0:52:55 > 0:52:57NO!

0:52:57 > 0:52:59No! No!

0:52:59 > 0:53:00No!

0:53:00 > 0:53:01SIRENS

0:53:01 > 0:53:03Oh, Dan!

0:53:03 > 0:53:06Armed police! Put the weapon down! Put the weapon down now!

0:53:06 > 0:53:08Over here!

0:53:08 > 0:53:10Step back from the weapon!

0:53:10 > 0:53:12On your knees, on your knees.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15You're going to be all right. You're going to be all right.

0:53:17 > 0:53:19Hands on your head.

0:53:22 > 0:53:26Keep your eyes open! Danny! Danny! No!

0:53:26 > 0:53:31# Amazing Grace

0:53:31 > 0:53:35# How sweet the sound

0:53:35 > 0:53:46# That saved a wretch like me

0:53:47 > 0:53:52# I once was lost

0:53:52 > 0:53:57# But now I'm found

0:53:59 > 0:54:07# Was blind, but now I see

0:54:09 > 0:54:15# T'was grace that taught

0:54:15 > 0:54:19# My heart to fear

0:54:21 > 0:54:28# And Grace my fears relieved... #

0:54:47 > 0:54:50You were arrested. How?

0:54:50 > 0:54:52My freedom is unrestricted.

0:54:52 > 0:54:53What do you want?

0:54:55 > 0:54:57Look at what you've done. What?

0:54:57 > 0:55:02All these people, and now your own son. Because of you.

0:55:02 > 0:55:03Me?!

0:55:04 > 0:55:06What's it all been for?

0:55:08 > 0:55:09Justice.

0:55:10 > 0:55:13Do you remember? Justice?

0:55:14 > 0:55:16I will never stop pursuing it.

0:55:18 > 0:55:19I think you should.

0:55:22 > 0:55:23Why?

0:55:28 > 0:55:30Ask your husband.

0:55:44 > 0:55:45What is it?

0:55:45 > 0:55:47What does he want you to tell me?

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Maya, I can't.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53Nick, the truth, just the truth.

0:55:57 > 0:55:58He deserved to die.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01Mayor Anderson.

0:56:08 > 0:56:09Rudy?

0:56:11 > 0:56:13Michael.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22It was Michael?!

0:56:26 > 0:56:28Maya! Mum?

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Rudy told me to go big, and I tried,

0:57:08 > 0:57:09I really, really tried.

0:57:09 > 0:57:12Yes, you did, yes, you did, my child.

0:57:12 > 0:57:13But it wasn't enough.

0:57:13 > 0:57:14Mum...

0:57:14 > 0:57:16Maya...

0:57:16 > 0:57:18Your help, your patience and your love.

0:57:20 > 0:57:21I'm going to go bigger.

0:57:37 > 0:57:38You can say it.

0:57:41 > 0:57:42I'm here.

0:57:43 > 0:57:45We're all here.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49Say it now, and it will be a start.

0:57:56 > 0:57:57Your name.
