In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented

by two separate
yet equally important groups.

The police, who investigate crime,

and the Crown Prosecutors,
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

To thine own self be true, and
it must follow, as the night the day.

You don't drink now, then?
Not for 2,198 days, no.

Mark Ellis. Everyone on the estate
knows who he is and what he does.

Mark Ellis, I'm arresting you
on possession of class A drugs
with intent to supply...

..you little bitch, sayin'?

Do you find the defendant,
Mark Ellis, guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Get me an ambulance, come on!

Ronnie. We need to -

Bag that for me, please.

There were five shots
fired from the car window.

Two hit the wall over there,

the third and fourth hit DS Devlin

as he pushed Kaden Blake
out of the line of fire.

The fifth landed in PC Walker's arm.

He shouldn't be here.

No, I know. Thanks, Joy.

Come on, let's get you out of here.

Mark Ellis must have ordered
the...hit on the boy.

We...we need to speak to Ellis.

You need to go back to the station,
get processed and go home.

Take some leave.

Sam Casey's
heading up the investigation.

I was here. I was on the scene.

You're personally involved.

The best thing you can do
is give your statement.

It happened right in front of me.

I couldn't get to him,
I couldn't do anything.

I walked past the pub
on the way here.

I could smell it, taste it.

I pass that pub every day

and in my mind I open the door
and order a drink,

but then I turn around,
and he's there, by my side, my mate,

and I know, as long as me and him
just keep doing our job,

I'll never open that door for real.

Only he's not there any more.

Matt's dead.

Go easy on him, eh, Sam?

You and DS Devlin
were escorting Kaden Blake

back to the secure children's home
in Kent?

Yes.

So, you collected
the kid from the cells and...?

No, Matty collected the boy.

I went to make a phone call
to my daughter.

She'd just had the baby.

So when you joined
DS Devlin outside,

did you see the vehicle
the shots were fired from?

I should've gone to the cells.
The vehicle, DS Brooks?

Um... Black, dark grey, maybe, 4x4.

Did you see the shooter?
Give us a description?

I should've been by his side.

I'll drive you home.
No, thanks.

You're on leave.
I don't do leave.

Look, I don't need your help.

Look, mate, I know it's hard to back
off but - You don't know anything.

I know there's no way on earth
you can be impartial.

Go home.

You've got five minutes, Ron.
This is more than my job's worth.

I appreciate it, Dave.

Who did you order to fire the gun?

What gun? The gun that
killed Detective Sergeant Devlin.

Why would I want that policeman
in the ground?

It was the boy you were after.
But DS Devlin got in the way.

If I man wanted that boy dead, him
would've never walked into court.

Tell me who fired the gun
and you may make probation
some time in the next 20 years.

I conquer 'dis t'ing here,
so I man gets stripes.

You know how many people
are crying over Matt Devlin?

Whereas you, you're in here.

And there isn't one single person on
this planet gives a toss about that,
is there?

Time's up, Ron.
Your lot want him for questioning.

Are you trying
to sabotage this case?

You've probably cost
that screw his job.

And any evidence
we get from Ellis will be tainted

because you went steaming round
there like Robocop.

Do you think I'm just gonna
sit at home all day?

You're on leave. End of.

Are we clear?

Are we clear?

A black Jeep driving away from
the scene clipped a yellow Golf.

Driver described
as an IC3 male, early 20s.

We'll get the witness in
for a photofit.

We've got an abandoned Jeep
impounded.

There's yellow paint on the front
bumper and a gun was found on
wasteland nearby.

Who's the car registered to?

Dennis Thomas, 25 years old,
IC3 male.

Previous for possession
and assaulting a police officer.

Where can we find him? Uniform
visited his flat ten minutes ago.

His girlfriend said he was at work.
Thank you.

I'm coming with you. This Dennis
Thomas might be one of Ellis's gang.

Or a hitman.
That is not how Ellis operates.

I can work it out for myself, mate.

Do you know how many members
there are in Ellis's gang? No.

How long it'll take
to go through the records?
Weeks. I've got it all in here.

Listen. Back in Stockport,
my partner got stabbed
by some absolute lunatic.

I thought I was gonna lose him.

I know how you must be feeling
but this is not the way.

Well, it's the only way I know.

I've been stopped
and searched more times than
my Aunt Kwaneshwa's been to KFC!

I got stopped and searched
just the other day.

I was walking down my ends, y'know,
and I spotted two white police
officers across the street.

They clocked me. And they came
over to my side of the street,

cos normally,
people cross away from me.

So I started
helping 'em out, y'know,

started answering questions
I hadn't been asked yet.

"This weed right here?
Oh, no, officer, no, no,
strictly recreational purposes.

Officer, this gun?
I don't know where it came from.

You're gonna have to take me in.
You know what?

You've got a record
for violence against the police.

I shoved some cop
on a student demo six years ago.

Yeah, you've also been
cautioned for possession.

I had a spliff's worth
of weed in my pocket.

A gun used in the shooting
of two police officers was found
dumped near your car, Dennis.

Your gags are looking
a little close to home right now.
Do you see where I'm going?

Listen, I might joke
about this stuff.

Truth is, I ain't never
seen a real gun in my life.

What do I look like to you?
Some sort of gangster?

But you do own a black Jeep, yeah?
Not any more, I don't.

What? Was it was stolen?

Nah, I downsized
when I won Best New Comedy Act.

So what did you do with the Jeep?

It's still registered to you,
isn't it?

I haven't posted off
the documents yet.

I sold it to my aunt last week.

Which one?
The one with the chicken wings?

The one with the attitude.

I couldn't find a space
outside my flat

so I parked it in the next street.

When I went to get in my car,
it had gone.

You didn't report it stolen?

I left it on a yellow line,
thought you lot had towed it.

You didn't check?

I ain't got the money to get it back
till I get paid next week.

Took me an hour on the tube
to get here this morning.

Anyone else drive your car,
Mrs Clarkson?

Like who?

Friend, family member, maybe.
I dunno, kids or partner?

No husband. My son's dead.

Thanks for letting me know about
the car but I've got work to do.

Excuse me, Mrs Clarkson,
I don't think you really understand.

You see, we think your car
was used in a drive-by shooting.

Two police officers were shot.

Oh, I get it now.
Get what?

How hard would you have looked if
it was me that reported it stolen?

One of them died, Mrs Clarkson.

My car was stolen.
It's nothing to do with me.

According to her manager,

Paulette Clarkson
worked 8:00 till 6:00 yesterday.

She swapped shifts with one
of the other workers. Any reason?

Yeah. She wanted to be home
when her son got in from uni.

She told us her son was dead.

Jamal's studying sociology,

wants to be a social worker.

He's doing well most of the time.

What about the rest of the time?

Well, he's your average first year.

Sometimes he turns an essay in late

or misses a lecture
if he's been partying.

So nothing out the ordinary, then?

What about guns?

No way.

Jamal's heading for a 2:1,
not a prison cell.

If you wait here
I'll go and get him.

If you wanted to go and see your
grandkid, I can manage without you.

Boy or a girl?
Boy.

I've got a lad, myself.

I've got an extension on that essay.
It'll be in by Monday.

It's not the essay, Jamal.
These police officers want a word.

I didn't do nothing.
Yeah.

Then you've got nothing to run from.

Right. What are we waiting for?
What do you mean?

Well, I need to be in there.
No, you don't.

Yes, I do. Ronnie, if anyone sees you
go in there, this case is finished.

You're not even supposed to be here.

What are you talking about? I need -
Look, mate, I can handle it.

Just go and get a cup of tea
or something.

Please.

Matt Delvin? Don't know him.

Devlin. He was a police officer.

Maybe he was on the take.

Why would you come out with that?

That's what you people do,
make a little extra on the side.

DS Devlin was a hero.

Police ain't heroes in my book.

Are Matt's family coming over?

His sister's on her way.

How are you doing?

I've had my life, haven't I?

Been married too many times,
got my girls.

Matty never got to do any of that,
did he?

Let me tell you
how this is gonna play, Jamal.

You're gonna drop this front and
you're gonna start start talking.

The only place
you're heading right now is jail.

Get in my face again,
I'll lick you down like -

Like what? Like that other copper?

What, you proud of that?

Are you proud of what you did?

You killed a copper. A good copper.

Everyone else round here
wants your arse in jail.

You get a bonus in your pay
package cos you take a black kid
off the road?

Yeah, that's right

If he leaves bleeding,
I get two weeks in Barbados.

Sit down!

Jamal, the best thing you can do
is talk to me.

I'm your last hope.

You want me to say sorry?

The only thing I'm sorry about
is I didn't kill more of you.

I know you people.

I know all about you.

Some rich white kid in Chelsea gets
stabbed and it's front of papers.

You all run round with your
task force till it's case closed.

My big brother gets shot in Hackney
and nothing.

No-one does nothing.

He's lying dead in a stairwell
and no-one gives a shit!

No-one but me.

So you killed DS Devlin
just to even things up?

Yeah, that's right.

So now we're quits.

Reckon I'll take that brief now.

You've got to charge him.
No! I need to get him a brief.

Do we know anything about his
brother's shooting? Does it matter?

It might.
He's just confessed to shooting Matt.

He was driving the black Jeep.
What more do you need?

Ronnie's right, whatever happened
to Jamal Clarkson's brother
has got nothing to do with this.

Absolutely. Once he's got his brief,
he's getting charged.

I agree but if he's got a legitimate
grudge against the police,
we need to know about it.

We want him sent down for life,
don't we? So let's do this right.

Get an extension
to hold Jamal for another nine.

Find out about his brother
then we'll talk charges.

Ronnie, Matt's sister's here.

Whenever I heard about it
in the news...

..'police officer shot
in the line of duty'

I'd say a little prayer, you know?

Why would anyone do this to him,
Ronnie?

Why would God take my brother?

The guv'll be back in 15 minutes.
You need to go.

You gonna tell me what you got,
then, or what?

Seven years ago Hackney police
investigated the murder
of 18-year-old Kieron Clarkson.

Right. You got the file?

Yeah, I've got the CRIS report,
if I can find it. It's case closed.

Someone was arrested and charged,
yeah?

No. Not according to this.

There were plenty of interviews,
suspects even, but no arrests.

So how come case was closed?
Beats me.

And who's the DI that signed it off?

There ain't one.

Well, that's not right, is it?

Someone closed this case
for a reason.

Let's get to Hendon,
have a look at the paper file.

This is all I've got.

Where's the rest of it?
Lost, probably.

This is the archive.
How can you lose half a file?

Seven years, whole archive's
been moved three times.

Then there was that flood.

This is normal?
Half a file just going AWOL?

I'll put out an 'all ports' for it.

Here we go.
A neighbour reported gunshots.

Police arrived at 1.48am and
found Kieron Clarkson dead in the
stairwell outside the caller's flat.

The weapon was a Kimar
Model 85 self-loading pistol

found a couple of feet from the body.

Death certificate is missing.

Let's see what
the postmortem report says.

It's empty.

What? What is it?

According to this,
Jamal's brother wasn't murdered.

He committed suicide.

Of course the report
says Kieron committed suicide.

Why waste resources investigating
the murder of some poor black kid?

Matt Devlin's murder
has nothing to do with race.

I bet the white kids
get their brief before
your officers extract a confession.

Your client refused a brief
until after he confessed.

He's just a kid.
He's 18. He's an adult.

When you were 18,
you could hold your own
in a room with a murder detective?

When I was 18, I wasn't out
shooting police officers.

Let's get real, Doug. This isn't
about a seven-year-old suicide.

It's about your client
murdering a police officer.

I'd have thought you'd be
more sympathetic, Miss Phillips.

Why would you think that? You know
what it's like for people like us.

Legal advocates?

You can try and build
a smokescreen but the fact remains.

Your client shot Matt Devlin
for one reason only.

Because he's a police officer.
WAS a police officer.

No. Because his brother was murdered

and loads of other police officers
fobbed him and his mother off.

This is not the sort of case you
want to put before a jury, Alesha.

The man your client shot
was no racist, Doug.

Jamal didn't care who he shot
as long as it was a cop.

And that's just the sort of case
we like to put before a jury.

General Registry found the rest
of Kieron Clarkson's case papers.

There's no death certificate
or PM report but...

the same witness
was interviewed three times.

He was under 18
so referred to as Witness A.

Well, let's hope that Witness A
remembers seeing Kieron Clarkson
put a bullet in his own head.

Does the file give
the witness's real name? Yeah.

You are not gonna believe who it is.

That I man was s'posed to have
ordered a hit on the pretty boy cop?

Why you wanna know
about Kieron Clarkson for?

Because you were questioned
over his death three times.

Little late, aren't you, now?

The guv's gonna kick off
if she sees you here.

You told the investigating officer
you saw the shooting.

What's so funny?

Seven years now?

And you lot still not worked it out?

Worked what out?

I saw Kieron Clarkson get shot.

Little hard not to see
when you're the shooter.

You?

It's a hell of a coincidence. Devlin
gets shot at Mark Ellis's trial

and Ellis turns out to be
the one that shot Jamal's brother.

I don't believe in coincidence.

Jamal's brief won't let him
talk unless he's there, making
sure it's a no-comment interview.

Who said anything
about calling his brief? Ronnie -

I'm not supposed to be here, am I?
How many times?
We've got to do this by the book.

No, we have got
to find out the truth.

That is not going to happen
in an interview room under caution.

It's too late. And why's that?
The guv. She wanted him charged.

No. Ronnie!

Why did you go to the Old Bailey?

Why couldn't you have just shot
some copper walking the beat
on your own estate?

Eh? You didn't go there
to shoot a copper at all, did you?

So why did you go? Eh?

There's only you and me here.
It's not being taped.

I want to know.

Come on, tell me, why?

Cos my brother's killer
was up in court, innit?

Mark Ellis.

My brother wouldn't kill himself.
He wouldn't.

After he died,
Ellis was mouthing off.

Telling anyone who'd listen
he'd shot Kieron.

You lot, you knew it too
but you let Ellis walk.

So this is about revenge on Ellis?

Why now?

Why now?

It was my last chance to make sure
he paid for what he done to Kieron.

I drove round the back of the court.

I thought I could get him. I
thought I could get him there but...

I saw that sweatbox pulling away
and I knew I was too late.

I was 11 when Kieron died.

What was I supposed to do?
Sit there and watch my mum crying?

So you couldn't get to Ellis,

so you then shot a copper?

How was that gonna help your mum?

They were walking round like
they ain't got a care in the world.

When my brother
is rotting in the ground!

It should've been me.

When someone you love dies,

the hardest thing's
being left behind.

You'd do anything to bring
them back, or take their place.

Get him in the van.

You deliberately
went against my orders.

Either you get out of here quick or
I'll put you in one of these cells.

Is that understood?

Hello, gorgeous.

Yeah. I miss him too.

Want some food?
Come on. There you go.

Mark Ellis is doing life as it is.

He probably thinks a few more years
won't kill him.

You think he's playing with us?

You think he has any morals?
He's hardly a fan of the police

so why not have a bit of fun
at their expense?

Anyway, the postmortem report
states that Kieron Clarkson's
death was suicide,

not that it matters either way
when it comes to our case.

Oh, it matters. An 18-year-old lad,
and a bungled investigation
into the death of his brother.

It's the sort of emotive mitigation

that could get Jamal Clarkson
five years for manslaughter

instead of life for murder.

I'm going to run an abuse argument.

On what grounds?

Abuse of process.

DS Ronnie Brooks
was sent on leave, wasn't he?

Mm-hm.

So what was he doing interviewing
key witnesses, including my client,

who he questioned alone, off tape.

I understand DS Brooks
was on compassionate leave
at the time of this 'interview'?

Which is why
it's an abuse of process.

He had no right being
in the police station,

let alone interrogating my client.

My Lord, I do not condone
DS Brooks' actions

but they in no way impede
the defendant's ability
to have a fair trial.

I'm sorry, Mr Greer, I have to concur
with Mr Thorne. Trial goes ahead.

However, I take a dim view
of DS Brooks's behaviour
during the investigation

and have no problem
with you raising this in evidence.

Thank you, My Lord.
I will also be adducing evidence

in relation to the defendant's
brother, if that meets
with your agreement.

I'll hear your argument at trial.

With the wrong jury
and a sympathetic judge,

Jamal Clarkson could be out
in time to celebrate his 21st.

We could make an application
to exclude all evidence of Kieron
Clarkson's death as irrelevant.

Or we can prove beyond doubt
that he committed suicide,

and prove the police
did nothing wrong.

Start with whoever
wielded that felt-tip pen.

Seven years ago? Are you serious?

I could barely remember
seven months ago
with the workload I had back then.

Not that it was appreciated.

The Home Office pathology
department seem to think you
have the files, Miss Bernard.

It's possible, I suppose. I'll
take a look and get back to you.

When?

When I have time. I'm being
called as an expert witness in
Leeds tomorrow, Newcastle next week.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

These files will
be evidence in a murder trial.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
It's not my problem any more.

Hand those files over or we charge
you with theft of government
property. Is that clear enough?

These notes are pretty detailed.

Cause of death was
a single gunshot wound to the skull.

Gunshot residue pattern noted.
Is it consistent with suicide?

I said her notes were detailed.
I didn't say they were complete.

Why aren't I surprised?

There's nothing about the
position of entrance or exit wounds.

You need to study the bevelling
of the bone to know which direction
the bullet was travelling in.

Wouldn't there be postmortem photos?
I'm not seeing any.

So they're missing or they
weren't taken in the first place?

Maybe she used the pictures
for a lecture or research.
It happens all the time.

So we're no closer to knowing
if it's suicide than we were
before we got the file?

Oh, there is one way.

Get me the skull of Kieron Clarkson,
I'll tell you for sure.

You don't have to be here.
Yes, I do.

The day I brought him
into the world I swore to God

I'd always be there for him,
every step of the way.

Oh, my, God. No, no.

.*

The funeral home
was owned by Damian Haleford.

It isn't any more?

Haleford was convicted
five years ago for flogging corpses
to foreign medical schools.

The investigating officer
thought they'd identified
all the missing bodies.

Except one.

None of this has got
anything to do with Matt's death.

Tell me you're gonna
put his killer behind bars?

I honestly don't know.
I thought it was cut and dry

but I had no idea that Ronnie had
been involved in the investigation.

No, well, he wasn't supposed to be.

Please, tell me there's
nothing else to worry about.

Forensics determined the bullets
retrieved from DS Devlin's body

were fired from a .38 calibre gun.

We found the gun
that fired those bullets

dumped near the abandoned car.

Did you speak to the defendant?

Yes, I brought him in
for questioning.

And did he have anything
to say about DS Devlin's death?

Yes. He confessed to killing him.

No further questions, My Lord.

Did you question Jamal
about where he got the gun? Yes.

And whose car he was driving?
Yes.

And there was something else,
about a holiday to Barbados?

Your client was extremely volatile.
I was trying to make him see sense.

So you got angry?

No. I was in control.

Were you in control when you
told him that the police service

would give you a free holiday
to Barbados if you beat up
a black suspect?

I was... I was kidding.

Who assisted you
with the investigation?

A number of officers.

Was DS Ronnie Brooks one of them?
He was on leave.

Yet he accompanied you and
contributed to questioning
a number of witnesses, did he not?

Could you answer
the question please? Yes, he did.

So you let an officer
you hardly knew,

who was grieving
his partner's death,

interview the man
suspected of killing his partner?

Yes, but I couldn't stop him.

This sounds very familiar.

This is what happened to Jamal's
brother when he was murdered.

Hackney Police made the case
disappear by calling it a suicide.

They kept it invisible
by not only losing his files,

but Kieron's actual body.

My client pulled the trigger,

and that is why you may
find him guilty of manslaughter,

but not murder. My Lord,
is this a speech or a question?

You can leave the summing up
to me, Mr Greer.

I'm not a racist!
I know you're not.

Yeah, but he made me look like one!

Is this gonna screw up the case?
It's not you who's screwing
up this case.

God knows what Ronnie
was thinking of.

Will Jamal Clarkson
still go down for this?

Can you tell us about the
last time you saw Kieron Clarkson?

He must a' been seen chatting
with my bredren's girl, y'know?

So me and my gang said
we'd go and look for him, see?

And what happened?

Turn him back and started
running for him life, y'see?

I man shot him in
the back o' him head piece.

Did the police question you
in relation to this shooting?

Yeah. Told 'em it weren't me.

And they believed you?
Look like they did, yeah.

You're serving life for
conspiracy to murder, is that right?

That's wha' you all say, yeah.

So you have no reason to lie?

You have no reason
to tell the truth either, have you?

In fact, you've changed your story
quite considerably, have you not?

On your first interview,
you told Hackney Police
that you didn't see anything.

After the postmortem, you changed
your story and told them...

you were walking up the stairwell

when you heard a gunshot
from the floor above.

You got there a second or so later
to find Kieron Clarkson
dead on the ground,

gun beside him
and no-one else on the scene.

I told 'em what
they wanted me to say, innit?

And now, you've changed your story
yet again.

And why not? It'll make
no difference to your sentence

if you killed Kieron Clarkson
or not, will it?

Though I imagine being
responsible for a gang killing

will make a considerable
difference to your status inside.

Well, you can't disrespect
my aim now, see?

More cred to you
for having shot and killed a man

than having gone down for a
bungled attempted murder, I presume?

No further questions, My Lord.

I can't remember details
of a postmortem I performed
seven years ago.

Please show the witness
Exhibit nine.

Thank you.

You recognise this, Dr Bernard?

Yes. It's a case summary
from a postmortem.

It has my initials
so I must have conducted it.

If I may?

It contains
the basic details of a case?

The detailed reports
would be kept inside.

Only this one is empty.

Does that mean
you didn't do the detailed report?

Absolutely not.
I wouldn't complete the summary

until after I completed the report.

And you know it was a suicide
because you ticked the little box.

That's right. I perform
thousands of postmortems

and always follow
the exact same procedure.

And what happens after
you tick that little suicide box?

The case is closed.

So hypothetically,
if a police officer was frustrated

with a case going nowhere,
you could help him out by...

making that little tick?

That's absurd.
But possible.

You have in front of you Exhibit 11.
Do you recognise it?

Yes. It's my notes from
the postmortem on Kieron Clarkson.

Earlier Mark Ellis gave evidence
he shot Kieron Clarkson
in the back of the head.

Do your notes confirm this?

Actually quite the opposite.

The pattern
of gunshot residue indicates
the bullet entered the skull here.

So, in your opinion,
Mark Ellis must have been lying

when he claimed he shot Kieron
Clarkson in the back of the head?

Yes. In order for me
to tick the suicide box

there must have been
other forensic markers

indicating this was not a murder.

I may have misunderstood
the pathologist I spoke to

but I think Gail Bernard is
taking liberties with the truth.

After what I did for you today
I was expecting champagne!

You must have sunk a bottle
if you think what you did
is worth celebrating!

You lied in the witness box!
I embellished.

You misled the jury.
You deliberately missed out
the most crucial bit of information.

Gunshot residue isn't enough
to determine a bullet's
entrance and exit point.

You think a jury will know that?

This isn't a game, Dr Bernard.
The defence will smell the same rat.

Have you any idea of the damage
it could do to this trial?

I didn't even want to give evidence.
I told you I don't remember
anything about this case.

I did it to help you.
You did it to help yourself.

If the whole world saw how slapdash
you were in the Clarkson case,

then your lucrative little business
as an expert witness might dry up.

Your "embellishment"
means that your entire evidence
could be ruled inadmissible.

How am I supposed to give evidence
about a case I don't remember?

I was overworked and exhausted
most of the time I was in that job.

Hang on, are you saying
you ticked that box by mistake?

The truth is, I honestly don't know.

Because of you,
Kieron Clarkson's family
will never know how that boy died.

Doug Greer's called Dr Bernard back
to the witness box first thing.

The jury hears she lied and
we're up the creek without a paddle.

Well, is he going to call Jamal?

Of course. Greer wants the jury
to hear first hand

how Jamal's the victim
and the police are the villains.

Greer said that Jamal never
went there intending to kill anyone.

But Jamal told me that
he went there planning to kill Ellis.

If the jury hears him say why he went
there, and what he was going to do,
and what he did,

then surely they will see
that as murder and not manslaughter.

Greer won't let Jamal repeat that
in the witness box.

Well someone's got to make
that kid grow a conscience.

Couldn't you make him
open up in cross?

I hope so, Ronnie,
because unless he talks,

the jury will acquit him of murder.

When my daughter was about ten,

my then wife ordered her a doll
for her birthday.

But the doll didn't turn up. We
just assumed it got lost in the post.

Just in case, I went round
a few neighbours' houses,

just to ask if anyone
had taken a package in.

Anyway, I got round
to Mrs Riley's house

and there was her granddaughter
playing with the exact same doll.

Mrs Riley reckoned
she'd bought it in the market.

Is there a point to this?

About a week later, I got a
phone call from my daughter's school.

My Sarah had been
fighting with Tina Riley.

You see, Sarah had heard me,
after a few too many drinks,

screaming blue murder
at Tina Riley's nan.

Hatred is not inherited,
Mrs Clarkson. It's learned.

I didn't talk Jamal into doing this,

if that's what you think.

I think I understand
how angry you must feel.

I can see it in your eyes.

I can only imagine how Jamal felt
looking into those eyes of yours
for seven long years.

You have every right
to feel betrayed.

I mean, your son's case
was riddled with mistakes.

And I don't know if those mistakes
were racism or just human error,

but I do know
that it hurt you very badly.

The police officer that died,
his name was Matt Devlin.

He was like...my son.

If your son was murdered,

I swear to God I will go after
the person that covered it up myself.

But I'm begging you, Mrs Clarkson...

..Mrs Clarkson, please,
talk to Jamal,

make him face what he's done
to everyone that loved Matt.

Especially his sister.

She needs justice for her brother

every bit as much as you and Jamal
need to know the truth about Kieron.

It wasn't supposed to go like this.

Kieron died.
He died and no-one cared.

They let his killer walk.

And you wanted his killer
brought to justice, didn't you?

I wanted him to pay
for what he did to me, to my mum.

I went looking for him, for Ellis.

Only he was gone.

There was all police.
I just wanted... I just thought...

Thought you'd kill
one of them instead?

I thought it'd make me feel better.

If my client is changing his plea,
I request an adjournment. No!

I don't need any more
little chats with you.

I thought I'd feel better.

But it still hurts just the same.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I took your brother away
from you.

I'm so sorry.

..murder of DS Matthew Devlin,
and are sentenced to life in prison.

In light of your guilty plea,
and the remorse you have shown...
