Original subtitles

The boyfriend's name's Milton Jones.

Mid -thirties.

Black. Did he do it?

Well, he was there when it happened.

Said he was starved.

There was someone else.

Mr. Jones, no one apart from you has seen this man. And you can't remember

he looks like.

You took the knife, you stabbed her, you raped her, and you left. No, I wasn't

neither. Come on then, Mr. Jones. What was it like?

Get the emergency kit!

Now!

Look!

Look what you've done to my boy.

This is... They were smoking.

Tested it for DNA, and the results are just in.

Yes, and what's the punchline?

There's somebody else's DNA on this.

The killer gets our couple stoned. Yeah.

Wait for the boyfriend to collapse, then he hits them.

I'm a victim.

Gene came up with 19 matches.

It's called familial profiling. It means that we have 19 offenders whose DNA

closely matches our killers.

So we check each of them and all their male relatives.

If they're black and in the right age bracket, yeah.

The arrow club.

Do you know it?

What? He had an arrow on his T -shirt.

How do you think you're playing that, sir? What?

I thought if I went in, I might recognize him. And do what?

Another victim.

What? Named Jane Dominick. She was attacked two months ago, half a mile

where Sarah Tennant was murdered.

White woman, black boyfriend.

Oh, Jesus.

Where are you living now?

B &B on the Clapham High Road.

I've only been there a week.

I can't seem to settle.

Jane, you only reported the rape two weeks after it happened.

I couldn't remember.

I knew something weird had happened, but... I was bruised.

Badly. My boyfriend is just not like that.

Then I started remembering.

His weight on me.

His breath.

I don't remember very much.

But the man was black?

Yeah.

But I was so out of it.

If you walked down the street, I doubt I'd recognise him.

Sorry.

You should talk to Wayne. He might remember something.

Oh, we have.

How is he?

Um... He flagged me off.

He wasn't, um... He wasn't polite.

I thought I must have let the bloke.

What happened? Did you try to fight him?

We think so.

Pride.

Can you remember anything about the man?

Anything at all?

I can still smell him.

I wake up and I think he's there.

What was it?

Aftershave? It's going to sound strange.

Try me.

He'd been eating fried chicken.

His head was on my face, his hair.

So many of those places, I can't walk past them anymore. I've got to cross the

road.

I go to sleep.

I wake up and it's there.

Like he's watching me.

We'll need to get a liaison officer under her.

I offered two, didn't want one. Yeah, I know, but she needs one.

Poor kid's in a mess.

You can't make her.

That chicken smell.

Oh, and it's hair, I know.

No, you don't get that from just eating it.

Maybe you work someone?

Yeah, it's worth a try.

Machine. Chicken joints.

I've got 45 of them.

So far we've got three star -fest.

Let's face it, that's just the ones they're telling us about. Oh, sorry, I

that up for you.

Favourite fried chicken on the high street.

Ian, can you check those ship patterns against the attacks, yeah?

Pity in the dark, am I? Hey, we might not be.

What about the Arrow Club?

That thing undercover.

It'll take a while to establish.

Yeah, better that than risk him knowing we're close. We can't let the spiral

guide. Black on white is like a tinderbox.

Just not moving fast enough.

Have you got any better ideas?

OK,

let's have a briefing at 8 o 'clock in the morning, please. Prompt.

You coming for a drink?

No, I've got to be somewhere.

Who's she shagging?

Certainly not you, Sarge.

Did I hear you say you were buying?

Sure, did I?

This case must be getting to me more than I thought.

Jones is that front desk for you.

See you later, guys.

Bring him out, Lisa.

Hey, Milton, how goes it?

What did she say?

What did who say? The woman.

The other woman he attacked. Not a great deal.

But it's him, though, isn't it?

Yeah, probably.

attacking white women with black boyfriends.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, huh?

That could just be a coincidence.

It's not, though, is it? Yeah, but we don't want that getting out until we're

not for certain. Yeah. Come on, man. Come on, what? Well, you should keep me

the loop. Yeah, when I get news for you, you will be.

What's that?

Some PR crap.

What the hell do you want me to say, though? That you caught the bastard.

Maybe you should go home, son.

I haven't got a home.

Me and Sarah, that was my home.

I don't know.

So where's the big man?

Washing his hair.

I'm sorry to disturb your evening.

No, you're not.

You're doing your job, I'm doing mine.

Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

Sorry, Sonia.

Give it some time, yeah?

Well, go on then.

Pull out the drawer.

Correct my filing.

Examine every bit of paper in minute detail just because you can.

Not what I'm here for.

Tactics changed, have they?

Yeah.

It's what your lot did last time. Not from immigration.

So what are you, vice?

Murder.

Who are you looking for?

I don't know. That's why I need your help.

But he's black.

Yeah.

Shouldn't be too hard.

Go out there and take your pick.

It's what usually happens.

Things have moved on, Tanya. Not from what I've seen. Okay, look, this man

and rapes women.

He's killed one already, and yeah, he's black, but all I want to do is catch

him.

Is she not here yet? No. Okay, we'll start without her.

All right, listen up, everybody. This will be a quickie.

Look, we'll be needing to start motoring on this one.

This guy has attacked at least twice already. Everything tells me he's going

do it again.

Agreed? Agreed. Okay.

Peter, the team hitting on the chicken joint, I really need results.

Anyone fitting that description, if the shifts fit, pull them in. Yeah?

Lisa, where are you up to? We've cleared 15 of the original 19, but we've still

got the relatives.

Okay, keep doing your best.

Jerry, the Arrow Club, two black officers seconded.

Ain't enough, but we'll go ahead with what we've got. They're going to join us

at three o 'clock and then hit the club tonight.

The Arrow Club is sensitive.

We go in low key.

Remember, this stays in -house. If this ammo gets out, I will crucify the lorry.

Understood?

Full briefing, three o 'clock.

Don't think you'll need one. Right.

These are the names of all male staff for the past four years.

We went through everyone on that list that could have matched the description.

Ended up with these people.

But then we checked when the T -shirts came in.

They're only worn by staff.

And were only brought in last year.

We checked the duty you wrote with the attacks.

So that knocked off a few who were working when one or other of them took

A few of them still work for us.

You have to be one of these four.

You're sure?

Come on, Mike. She worked through the night for us.

Hang on. Let me organise someone to bring you home.

I'm sorry. I think what he meant to say was thank you.

Okay.

Make sure you get him.

You might as well have walked in there with a big banner saying, come out, come

out, wherever you are.

She's down. She's going to say I'm the immigration halflinger. Yeah? Do you

who she's mates with? Who she shares a bed with?

One night's work, Mike. I get four names. That's got to be better than

around undercover.

What is this, a competition? I thought we were hunting a mudra. Yeah, which is

why I went in there and got results. Yeah, you took one hell of a risk.

Calculated risk.

Mike, I am not a plod. I never have been. I act on my instinct and I get

results. It's because of your bloody instinct I'm here. You fucked up,

Ditch the instinct washing.

Or the Fröhlich, that's not what it was.

Is this what it's going to be like?

What? You and me.

Could you be more callous?

Don't pull that one.

Your job matters, but it shouldn't wreck the whole evening.

Come on, just tonight.

No, it isn't.

It's every case that gets to you.

You're good at your job, so that's probably most of the time.

She's the writer, isn't it? This is my life.

Yeah, mine too.

Now.

It's not nearly enough fun.

So what do you suggest?

Three kids.

Two boys and a girl.

You're nuts.

No, I'm not. You are.

Do you screw this up?

Look, Roisin, I'm serious.

What do you want, kids?

I don't know.

Oh, God.

I can't think about this right now.

That's your answer.

No, it's just the truth.

Okay, my head is somewhere else, but you know what? It is where it should be,

Neil.

Look, I better go.

Would you give me a bit of space? I don't know how to do this.

All right. It's okay. I understand.

Yeah.

Okay, there's a good chance that one of these four from the club is our man.

Lisa's going to check them against the familiar list.

Now, none of these boys have form, okay? So I don't want any unnecessary

antagonism. Do you understand me?

Okay, so Satch? We want to see if any of them have an alibi without tipping them

off. Now, they're all drivers.

So we're going to go in on a minor motoring offence, which is time dated to

murder. Three of them are car owners, so that's easy. The other one, well, we'll

just have to look incompetent.

Shouldn't be too difficult, should it?

So, Mike, have you got anything to add?

No. Just get out there, bring him back before he attacks again.

You

need

to play for five yards, not five a side, boy.

Kelvin Nelson.

Yeah, yeah, what have I done?

How do you know we're police?

Well, I'm DS Thatcher. This is DC Peters.

Is there a problem?

We're just eliminating people.

You own a green VW Golf, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, why?

One was involved in an accident on Sunday the 25th.

Can you tell me where you were that evening?

I was down in the marshes. We had a game, didn't we? Yeah.

Did you drive there?

Yeah, he gave me lift. Yeah, well, it's just procedure, but is there anyone else

who can verify that? Yeah, yeah, Jose Mourinho, he come down because he wants

to add up the next season, you see.

That's funny, he didn't mention it to me at practice. No?

No, look, my photo's in the Gazette, see, because I scored a hat -trick.

you did. Yeah. A hat -trick.

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks very much, gents.

Yeah.

A hat -trick.

Can I get you one of those, please? Thank you. Thank you. Actually, do you

to take a couple? You can spread the word, yeah?

It's really important. Thank you, man.

Can I just give you one of these?

Thank you. Can I give you one as well?

Cheers, mate.

Excuse me, love. One of these.

One of those. Thank you.

Excuse me, love. One of those.

Oh, hello.

Lisa, number two, Kelvin Nelson.

He's got an alibi.

I was just doing him.

Sorry, love.

What about the others?

Yeah, Steve Redmond, he's got a plaster cast on his arm. I think one of the

victims might have remembered that.

So we're down to two?

Yeah, Trent and Williams.

I'm going to go and catch up with Satchel, OK?

Mike, come.

A black man is attacking the white girlfriends of Afro -Caribbean

men?

Where the hell did this come from?

You're Milton Jones.

He stands stuck with a tube station, handed him out.

That's good enough.

Well, that's thanks to Grandma.

Boy! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?

You're going to stop this right now.

But he's still out there, isn't he?

People need to be warned. That's my job, Milton, not yours.

Why are you doing it, then?

This is bloody dangerous, Milton. You're as good as telling the killer we're

onto him. Telling him to lie low. Do you really want us to catch Sarah's killer?

Yeah. You've got to give me those.

We're closing in, Milton.

Boy, is that just another lie to keep me happy? No.

We've got inside help with the club. We have narrowed it down to a few key

suspects.

Milton, I said we'd catch him when we were.

And in the meantime?

What do I do?

I don't know, man. Try and get on with your life.

Right. Thanks.

Helpful.

What about your work?

Your mate? Have they been right?

Yeah.

I don't see the point from you.

You've got to let them in, brother.

This is not the answer.

I thought we were trying not to antagonise.

Excuse me, do you know Simon Williams?

Sure. He's not there, though.

There we go.

Yeah, do you know when he'll be back?

What's that?

Oh, it's a minor traffic offence on the 25th. It's probably nothing to do with

Mr Williams, but we do need to speak to him. He went off with his girlfriend.

Said he'd be back tomorrow.

Yeah? Do me a favour?

Ask him to call me when he gets back?

Yeah, sure.

But we need to dine now.

It's a favorite.

That's it.

I'm not slaving away for it to go cold, you know.

Good boy.

I've got data coming in every which way. Trend and Williams have both got big

families. I could just stick out for some night.

Do you know Trend's on holiday?

Since when? Yesterday.

Tenerife. He's not back for a week.

Are you kidding me?

We've still got Williams.

Oh, he's not back till tomorrow.

Go.

Someone at the front desk for you, Michael Collins, said it's personal.

Michael Collins?

What are you doing here? I was seeing you.

Seemed to be the only way.

Well, I meant to be keeping a secret, Neil.

So, what was the line?

Yeah, of course we are. I meant to call.

Oh, that's right.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't hate me.

Well, I will if you don't bugger off.

What are they?

Well, you don't like them.

I don't like being gossiped about.

Call me later.

Are you done?

Simon Williams is the factor.

He may want to dole out the hour at the half of the week.

Yeah, doesn't mean he's a killer.

Didn't know you cared.

Who died?

You will if you don't shut up. You up to date?

Yeah, two to go. Make it one.

Number 15 on the familiar list is George Marshall. His nephew is Simon Williams.

You're a beauty.

We've bloody got him.

Leave it.

Target approaching.

All units, stand by.

Perfect.

Perfect. All units, go as instructed. I repeat, go.

Simon Williams, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Sarah

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not

mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

Do you find this amusing, Mr. Williams?

You've got nothing on me, man.

Can't have.

We have forensic evidence.

We have witness statements.

What witness statements?

From the victims.

They named me.

Not exactly.

Then what exactly?

I have a right to know why I'm here.

You've been read the arrest, George.

No way you can stick that on me, man.

Then you've got nothing to worry about, have you?

Yeah, yeah. I know how it works.

Yeah, how's that then?

Your justice doesn't work for people like me, does it, Mr. Walker?

What do you mean by people like me?

Black people.

Tell you what, Mr. Williams.

If you're innocent, I'll let you go.

How many black men have you said that to who are in jail?

The guilty ones.

You're not going to stitch me for this.

No way.

Why's that then?

You'll see.

Hey, Milt, I'm looking forward to you coming back to football this weekend,

mate.

We've still got your shirt hanging up in the changing room, haven't we?

Yeah, maybe the week after.

I'll be back.

Come back next weekend.

You don't want to take your throne, do you?

No, I'm just getting too old.

This weekend's going to be the match, mate. We need you there.

Are you Milt and Chang?

Shut up. Yeah, I'm not talking to you.

Listen, I'm sorry for what happened to your girlfriend.

It must be awful.

Do you know someone? Hey, look, love.

Come.

Hey, Milt.

Just leave it, leave it.

I think I was attacked by him before.

Who are you calling?

Walker. He's in charge.

Please. No, no, no, no. Whoa.

Sorry.

Sorry, look, the phone's going away, OK?

The phone's gone, OK?

I'm sorry.

All right?

Now, this could really help us catch him. I can't.

Why?

You haven't done anything wrong.

Look, my boyfriend ain't got a licence.

What, and he was the one driving?

Look, I'll leave him out of it, but come on, you've got to tell us everything

you know.

Please.

We checked everything.

You were here.

Check again.

Okay, fine.

This is the door, Rola.

Size of charge.

He works Wednesdays to Saturdays. Never changes.

You're sure about that?

25th was Sunday.

He doesn't do Sundays.

Well, I'm sorry.

Well, obviously he worked it that day.

Must have worked an extra day.

Well, we checked the 25th.

Look, two pieces of paper were stuck together.

Could he have tampered with this? Why would he? Give himself an alibi?

No. It was me. I made a mistake.

I'm sorry, all right?

I'm going to need to interview every person who worked with him on that

You just work four nights a week now?

Yeah, usually, but sometimes, the old Sunday, a bit over time, yeah.

Was Simon Williams working the door on the 25th?

Sure.

Why are you on it, him?

Signs a good man.

How can you be sure it was the 25th? It was.

End of.

All right?

I just did the last one, same story.

Si Williams is a great bloke and wiped his sops off on the 25th.

Then they must have been framed.

I spoke to all three of them and they remembered us like that. We need someone

to crack, Mike.

Yeah, tell me who I'll bring a bloody hammer.

Gov, Milton Jones is at the front desk.

Ah, give us a break.

Hey, do you want someone else to go?

No, I'll be good.

Milton,

you promised to stop all this. She came to me.

I wrote down everything.

Everything she said.

She refused to give a statement?

Black 4x4 chrome trim?

Yeah. Sounds pretty distinctive to me.

Yeah. Except that's not the guy that killed Sarah.

Black guy out with white girlfriend, white girl gets attacked.

It was road rage.

The fact that she was white is purely a coincidence. This is on the same night

Sarah was murdered. Yeah, that makes it even less likely. No, this is him.

I know it is.

Okay, Milton, you think about this for a minute. You kill someone. What's the

first thing you do?

Panic.

Attack the next person that you meet.

Don't. You slink away and you hide.

This was a traffic incident.

Took place two hours after Sarah was killed.

And less than a mile away.

Sorry.

I've wasted your time again, and I... Yeah, but here's the good news.

We've arrested someone.

You got him?

We're pretty certain, yeah.

Why didn't you tell me?

Hey, I'm telling you now.

Lisa, check this out. See if there's anything on file with traffic for the

The night of the murder? That's probably a waste of time.

Where are you two going?

Off to London, not to crack.

Look, I haven't done anything.

No? Well, one of your workmates has.

Well, that's his business, isn't it?

Yeah, really.

Even if he's a rapist and a killer.

Yeah, well, that's still his problem. Did you not hear what she said? His

murder, Kelvin, was serious.

You're off to far, aren't you?

Yeah, well, you're a lot of closed ranks.

Oh, am I a lot, yeah? All right, it's door team.

They all claim he was working on the 25th.

Well, maybe he was.

Hey.

A woman was raped and murdered on the 25th, Kelvin.

Look, Si's king, yeah?

I mean, he's got a smile on my wide, right?

But you don't mess with him.

So he's violent.

He's a hard man. I don't make no murderer, does he? Yeah, well, we think

Kelvin. And if we have to let him go, he might do it again.

He picked his time for you, didn't he?

Look, he's a girl, Tanya. She works in the office.

When he made her do it.

Will you give us a statement?

He's a killer. He'll do it again.

You can live with that, can you?

I've got two kids and a wife. You see where I'm coming from?

I've told you enough, all right?

And you thought it.

Can I have a word?

I need to talk to your sister.

It's Sonia Christie, isn't it?

I'm DCI Connor. This is DS Satchel. I'd like to ask you a few questions about

Simon Williams.

Okay.

Do you know why we're holding Simon?

Traffic accident.

He didn't do it, though. We have him in custody for murder.

What? He told you it was a traffic accident, did he?

It explains why you faked a timesheet for him.

Except I didn't fake it.

Sonny, the charges against Simon couldn't be more serious. If you are

him, you are going to be in big trouble.

I'm not.

Okay.

You think Simon loves you, don't you?

When we arrested him, he was with another woman.

You're making that up. He went away for a night, didn't he?

Yeah, with his mate.

Well, his mate wears a dress, does he?

Goes by the name of, uh, what was it?

Dee?

He wouldn't. They were kissing, they were all over each other.

You put in a false timesheet for him, didn't you?

No. Come on, Vanya, you're treating me like dirt. Don't go down with him.

I'm not lying.

Sign here.

We'll get him sooner or later.

Are you going to tell both of them, Jones?

I love them.

I love them. Really?

They're amazing.

They're gorgeous.

Look.

What do you think?

Oh.

Oh.

This is the best birthday ever.

Well, I love you in them. Do you love them on me?

I think I love you more than the shoes, but I think they're fantastic.

Do you?

Yeah. Do you love me more than the shoes? Just a bit. Do you? Just a little

Just a little bit.

You ever coming in?

So, how's the case going?

Ah, you don't want to know.

No.

Actually, I do.

Um... Well, we thought we had him.

But he had an alibi we couldn't crack, so I had to let him go.

The woman who was murdered.

Can't get her out of my head.

I'd like to stop to know.

What I'm trying to say is... The answer's yes.

Sorry.

What was the question?

Three kids.

That's it, yeah.

If I go home, I want someone to care.

I'm not sure that's the best reason.

You know what I mean, though, yeah?

You were seen.

By some cop scum. They knew it was Dee.

How do they know her name if it wasn't her?

Were you talking to them before, Ellie? Oh, they came for me, not the other way

round. You better be telling the truth, girl. Si, I lied for you.

You doubted me.

Why shouldn't I?

You're lying about Dee.

You're slagging it around with her.

You said it was about traffic.

That's not what they're saying.

You ain't going nowhere.

Si. Don't you go when I say.

Lee.

You're mine, see?

You talking to cops.

That's not what you do.

Ten

stitches,

two broken ribs, and still she won't talk to me.

Is it worth going back? Is she sticking by him? Yeah, poor bitch is pregnant.

What a great dad he's going to make.

I've got something on the road, Rage. It was reported?

No, but I ran a check on Simon Williams. He drives a Range Rover Sport, black

with chrome trim.

You're having me on. What are we talking about?

Milton Jones tracked down a woman who was attacked by a black man driving a

on the night of the murder. White woman, black boyfriend.

So you have a statement?

No, she won't talk to us.

God, I know it's him. Why can't we get him?

No, but we're not going to give up.

ID parade.

Put Williams in front of Milton Jones, and I reckon we're in with a shout.

but he says he doesn't remember what the killer looks like.

Then let's bring in Jane Donnelly, too.

She wasn't sure she'd recognise him, either. No, but she remembers his smell.

He's inside her head.

He's in there deep.

But he's in there.

Yeah, Connor here. Can you open up?

You sure she's in?

Yes, she is.

Come on, Jane. Give me the key, please.

Please.

Yeah,

Lisa. An ambulance, ASAP, to Jane Donnelly's lodgings.

She's gone.

Shit. Go after this. I'll walk, yeah?

If there's no positive identification.

There won't be. All right.

Choose a place to stand, sir.

The sex.

Through this way, gentlemen.

I was to knock that out of him.

You reckon Milton's up to this?

I don't think a bugger else to go on.

You ready, Mr Jones?

Yeah.

Are you staring at him now?

Oh, come on, Milton.

Take your time.

Hey, what's going on?

Come on, you're staring at him.

Come on, number six. Say it, number six.

No, no, no, no.

Quickly, time. There's no limit.

He's not there.

Have another look.

There's no point!

Oh, shit!

Calm down. I know I want out of here. Go back.

I can't let that happen, sir. Shut it.

Milton, he's in there. He's not.

I've seen enough, all right? You haven't got him. What do you mean?

Can you remember the killer now?

Milton, wait!

No.

No. I've had it.

You promised me you had him. You fucking promised me!

At least a good afternoon. Settle him down, for Christ's sake.

You all right, babe?

Yeah.

I'll see you in about an hour.

Yeah. I can't really talk now.

See you later.

Tell your masters where to stick it, yeah?

What do you mean he's gone? He said he needed some air. Milton Jones knows what

the killer looks like. I know. So get him back.

That's Williams released.

Could still be him.

Milton was sure.

Williams came up with that alibi just to cover the road rage. Simple as that.

So what do we do now?

We keep going.

This is a murder inquiry. We keep the energy up, yeah?

Oh.

Chicken joints. We're still tracking the staff.

We thought Williams was our killer and he didn't work in one.

Hey, it's a good lead, Satch. Come on, everybody, let's hot up the pace here.

How many staff in this have we got? Twenty -five.

Where are the other twenty?

Well, they're not exactly rushing to help us. So make them.

Let's move it. Come on.

We've got a killer to catch.

We've missed something.

Gotta have.

So what was it like?

I need a beer, man.

Yeah. What about the ID?

I stood there. They let me go. End of.

So they ain't got nothing?

Of course they got nothing, man. I'm clean, yeah?

What's this?

I'm sorry, sir. Look, I told you, man. You treat this machine with respect,

yeah?

Clean it off, man. That shit out the window.

Take that rotten stuff out, man.

Put it to liver.

You gonna pay for the valet? It's a spot sign.

Are you gonna pay?

Okay, I'm sorry, yeah? Take it down to Star Wars, yeah?

Speak to Zoran.

No, seriously, I'm... No, no, no, no. Okay, calm down, back off. It's okay.

We still haven't tracked down Milton Jones.

Is he not out of his flesh?

No, and his mobile's switched off.

Better check the hospitals.

Can I show you this first?

It might be nothing, but I checked. Simon Williams has got a brother, David.

Joey, who might just have borrowed his brother's T -shirt.

I know, it's a long shot.

Yeah. You got a chicken joint in this?

Yeah.

There's a Williams works in Lambeth High Road.

C Williams, though, not D.

Let's go, Dutch.

You must be D .S. Thatcher.

Do you like it?

Just picked up your messages, sorry.

This is DCI Connor.

Hi. Mind your head.

So you got the list okay?

Yeah, just wanted to clarify.

C. Williams?

Charlie, yeah.

What's he done?

Probably nothing, but do you have any details on him?

Sure.

He's a good boy.

Dreamer, but he always turns up. Yeah.

You got him down here with David.

Sorry, he's been here so long I forgot.

Charlie's his family nickname.

What?

All units, stand by.

Me? Come with me around here.

Why? You as well. Come on.

Okay, we're all set.

All units, go.

Mr. Williams?

Mr. Williams, Chief Superintendent Walker, can I come in?

Mr.

Williams?

Mr.

Williams?

Mr. Williams.

When you walked into the room, Detective Chief Superintendent, what could you

see? The victim.

Lying on the floor.

Obviously dead.

And was it obvious how he'd been killed?

Yeah. He'd been stabbed with a kitchen knife.

And where was the knife?

Milton Jones was holding it. He was standing next to the body.

No further questions?

Detective Chief Superintendent Walker, is there any doubt in your mind that

Milton Jones had killed David Williams, also known as Charlie?

No, none at all.

Did Milton Jones offer any alternative explanation?

No, he freely admitted it.

How did he react when you arrived?

Hardly at all.

I went up, took the knife from him, and he barely noticed me.

Was there anything else that you noticed?

I was shaking a little. His hand, I mean.

You seem upset.

Not upset.

No, more in shock.

Now, as someone who knew Mr Jones, were you surprised when you found him

standing over the body?

Actually, yes, I was.

Why were you surprised?

Well, the very nature of the case meant that Milton and I became relatively

close over the time.

In my opinion.

Milton Jones is a good man.

You say he is a good man.

No.

The defensive case is that Milton Jones was provoked.

Did you see anything at the scene that would suggest otherwise?

No, there can be no other explanation than that he was... My lady.

Mr. Dench, I've already given you considerable latitude, but the chief

superintendent is hardly in a position to explain what happened.

Then my apologies, my lady.

No further questions.

Now, it's a good start.

The jury will remember.

We can build on it.

Are you sure?

Trust me.

That's as good as it gets.

Made it home to the trial, didn't he?

Yeah, but he's got his work cut out.

What, you said it'll help?

Yeah, but he's going to go for provocation.

He hasn't got to mince his words with you.

I can take it.

Oh, OK.

Come in.

No, I'm going to get food.

Wise.

Why, could I get a tuna and onion on brand and a cappuccino to go?

Not planning on snogging me, then?

Onion, a bit of a turn -off.

I will, once I've done the lunch.

Calm down.

Yeah, sausage roll and an espresso, thanks.

But you're weird.

You like weird.

It has to be like this. It doesn't have to be like this, meaning he didn't have

to take the case.

All right, well, in a couple of weeks, I'll burst into Walker's office and tell

him I found you today in the witness box room.

Yeah?

Tina, you're attached.

You tell me why Milton Jones was arrested for killing Sarah Tennant,

we all know he didn't do?

He was covered in her blood.

So you had no choice but to arrest him?

That's correct.

After a day in custody and repeated interviews with yourself and Detective

Sergeant Satchel, Milton Jones attempted suicide, is that correct?

Yes.

Do you feel you pushed him to that, Detective?

No. No, I don't.

Milton Jones found his girlfriend murdered. He was then arrested,

intensively and locked up.

Do you not feel you might have had something to do with it?

We were trying to find out who killed Sarah Tennant.

And you treated Mr Jones as sensitively as you could?

Yes, I hope so.

I'd like you to listen to part of one of your interviews with Milton Jones.

Your ladyship will remember this shortly after Milton Jones found his

girlfriend's body.

Miss Connor, you'd agree he was taken straight into custody and held?

He hadn't slept?

He'd had no access to friends and family?

Yes.

She found out you were infertile, didn't she?

Your sperm count is nil.

What are you talking about? Officer, you can't do this. This is new information.

Oh, not to him it's not, is it? No, you're firing blanks. Is that what the

argument was about? This is completely unacceptable.

That you being sensitive, detective?

Trying to find out a motive.

Sarah Tennant wanted a child. Milton Jones not being able to provide one

easily have been a point of friction.

Isn't the fact of the matter you'd already decided that Mr Jones was the

No. A black man who admits he's been smoking drugs wakes to find his

dead?

Would you have treated me in the same way, Detective?

A white, middle -class barrister?

With the same facts?

Yes.

My lady, I'm finding it hard to see who's on trial here.

Mr Dench.

Well, the defense's case is that Milton Jones was provoked into his assault on

Mr. Williams.

Therefore, his state of mind and everything that affected it is relevant.

And I'm suggesting that the behavior of the police, and of this officer in

particular, played a significant part in that.

The fact of the matter is that your handling of the case is a very large

of why Mr. Jones is here today, isn't it?

You didn't treat him with any sympathy, did you?

Well, I'll give you another example.

Mr. Jones, his mother, is here in the court today, sitting up there in the

public gallery.

You had a conversation with her too, didn't you?

Now, Mrs. Jones is a law -abiding woman. She's 60 years of age.

Never as much as had a parking ticket.

But you were so upset by your treatment of her and her son that she slapped you

across the face.

Mrs Jones was understandably upset.

What are you going on for?

You left work early that night, didn't you?

The commanding officer sent you home.

Bloody hell.

Only she and I knew that.

I can't remember.

He thought you were responsible for Milton Jones's suicide attempt, didn't

Mr Jones wakes to find his girlfriend murdered.

You arrest him. You bully him in interview.

You tell him, with what I think the court would agree was a startling lack

compassion, that he's infertile, and then lock him up for the night to think

things through. I will ask you again.

Do you feel in any way that you contributed to Milton Jones's suicide

I think you should ask Mr. Jones that.

Not me.

No further questions.

You use me.

Well, I thought you wanted Milton Jones to get manslaughter.

I thought you loved me.

Oh, come on, machine.

I was doing my job, yeah? It wasn't personal.

You use things that I told you in private. That's personal. That's crap.

No, you're crap.

You could be defied. I could lose my job.

Walker's already guessed. He could hardly fail to.

I need a gloss over it. Why should he? Because I get a result.

At my expense.

You held me up there as a racist, as incompetent, just to make yourself look

good. No, Regine.

I told the court what really happened.

Okay.

Have a nice career, Neil.

I hope it makes you really happy.

Roshin. What's going on?

I'm sorry, Mike.

Roshin, are you screwing him?

God, Mike, it's called a relationship.

I'm bloody glad I'm not in it.

Roshin, you should have declared it.

You jeopardized the case. Why the hell didn't you tell me?

Neil wanted to take the case.

You pressed your jaw for that.

Oh, I know. Jesus, Roisin.

Are you blind?

He's a careerist. It's written all over him.

Oh, Jesus.

What are you going to do?

Is it over?

I think so.

Remember, don't use your temper.

Ask me clearly.

For God's sake, look contrite. I am contrite.

Trust me, Melton, I'll get you through this.

I just want what's right.

That's what you'll get if you play it the way we've talked about.

It's the game, isn't it?

Best way to look it in.

Members of the jury, no matter how sorry you may feel for Milton Jones, he still

killed a man.

That man killed

David Williams.

Now soon you'll be given a chance to hear Milton Jones explain what happened.

As he does so, you must ask yourself, was he provoked?

Now, not only was his girlfriend murdered, but to compound things, he was

treated with what I can only call woeful insensitivity by the police.

In law, though, the definition of provocation is such that you must answer

following question.

Was provocation such that a reasonable man, in the defendant's position, would

have acted as the defendant acted.

So would you, as reasonable men and women, have done what the defendant did?

So when you saw David Williams in the car with his brother, you recognized

Yes.

So why did you follow the car?

And why not turn around and go and tell the police?

We'd just done an identity parade and, uh...

I thought we had Sarah's killer.

But he wasn't there.

I suppose I was angry with them for putting me through that.

So you followed the car and you found out where Williams lived and then you

back to the flat, to your home.

And at your home you picked up a kitchen knife.

Now why did you do that?

He killed Sarah with... A knife from the same block.

And why did you take the knife to his flat?

To show him.

I wanted to scare him like he scared Sarah.

So you did intend to confront him?

Yes. What were your intentions?

Milton, this is very important.

Now, when you went into the Williams' flat, you simply intended to confront

Williams, so you said.

You didn't intend to kill him, did you?

My lady, please.

Mr. Dent, you are leading the witness.

Milton, when you went into the flat, Did you intend to kill Mr. Williams?

Yes.

Yes, I did.

Milton, if you are now admitting that you went into the flat with the

of killing Mr.

Williams, the jury cannot find you guilty of manslaughter. I know.

My lady, can I request a shorter jury? No, no.

Can I speak?

If you're sure, go on.

I killed a man.

It wasn't a good man.

He murdered my Sarah.

But I shouldn't have done what I did.

And I can't live with that.

I'm here listening to all this language, and I know Mr Dent was trying to

help me, but it's not the truth.

I knew what I was doing, and I went there to do it.

I went to the flat to murder David Williams.

I wish I hadn't.

Please. You have to do the right thing.

It's what he wants, Sarge.

Okay.

Let's go.

You will remember at the beginning of this trial, the defendant was placed in

your charge.

You are therefore required...

to provide a verdict.

In these circumstances, the verdict is on the direction of the court.

Would the foreman please stand?

On the direction of this court, do you find the defendant Milton Jones guilty

murder?

You are required by the court to convict the defendant on this charge.

Guilty.

Is this the verdict of you all?

It is.

Milton Jones, I truly admire your honesty and your courage.

It is of no doubt to me that anyone would have sympathy with the position

found yourself in.

However, what you said is correct.

Murder is murder.

and no one should be allowed to take the law into their own hands.

I therefore have no option other than to send you to prison for life.
