In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented

by two seperate yet equally
important groups -

the police who investigate crime

and the Crown Prosecutors who
prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Did you get the eight? I'm in the
changing room and she's like,

'Do you want me to grab that
in your size?'

You're a shop assistant, assist me.

Don't make me feel like
topping myself.

Does it fit?
I'm not having the likes of her,
telling me I can't have size eight,

if I want size eight. It doesn't fit
you, does it? It's a principal.

Hey! Hey!
Get of my bag!

Get of my bag!

Someone get him! Stop him!

Oi! Come back here!

Oi! Get back!

Oi!

Oi!

Sounds like Doherty. Crackhead.

Done time for theft.
All drug related.

Ran straight into a car on his
latest shopping trip.

And we're here because?

He asked to see you.
Oh, the CID?

He asked for you by name.

Really?

Hello?

I'm DS Brooks. You wanted to see me?

Amanda Bennet.

Sorry. What did you just say?
I killed... Amanda Bennet.

Me and Ricky...

..we killed her.
Who is Ricky? Excuse me, sir.

No one second. No, I need...
Outside. Come on.

Did he just say Amanda Bennet?
Yeah.

Well, that was 14 years ago.

Strange thing to admit to.
You think he's straight up?

Well, I can tell you for a fact it
wasn't him

or this Ricky that killed
Amanda Bennet.

How do you know?

Because the investigating officer on
that case...

..was me.

Amanda was found on the floor,
fatal blow to her head,

no sign of any sexual attack,
no sign of any forced entry

and nothing taken.
Her Dad's DNA was found all over her

and her blood was found all over
his clothes.

Jury agreed.
Simon Bennet got life.

So how come the geezer's not
banged up?

He did serve three years and got off
on a technicality.

His brief reckoned that the judge
misdirected the jury

and claimed it was a miscarriage
of justice.

I don't know a copper breathing
who doesn't think the injustice was
Simon Bennet walking out of jail.

The neighbours said that they heard
Simon Bennet

screaming blue murder at Amanda
the night before she died.

Apparently it wasn't the first time.
She was one of these unruly kids.

Staying out late, bunking off school,
going out with older lads.
That sort of stuff.

DS Casey. So why's O'Doherty
claiming he killed her?

I have got no idea, guv.
That was the hospital.

Jimmy O'Doherty died ten
minutes ago.

Well, we can't just ignore
a murder confession.

No, we can't.

You said Jimmy mentioned
an accomplice.

I think we should find out
who that is.

I'm only Jimmy's dad in
the technical sense of the word.

I haven't seen Jimmy in years.

We've got some bad news,
Mr O'Doherty.

Maybe we should go inside.

He's dead. He died a couple
of hours ago, sir.

Was it the drugs?
No.

He was hit by a car.

Thanks for letting me know.

We're looking for someone, sir. We
think he was a friend of your son's.

I wouldn't know who his friends
are these days.

What about 14 years ago?

Bloke named Ricky.

You know him.

Ricky Phelps.

They knocked about together
since school.

Jimmy's mum was always telling him
hanging around with Ricky

would land him in Jail.

Richard Phelps. Two theft,
three burglary,

GBH and an arson attack that
landed him six years.

Right.

Well, he's out now so probation
will have his address.

I haven't seen Jimmy in years.
How many years?

Oh, ten, eleven, maybe more.

You two have some sort of
disagreement or...

We drifted apart.

Jimmy said you might know something
about a murder.

Amanda Bennet.
Jimmy talks a load of bollocks.

I mean, that's crack for you.
Make you delusional.

Really?

He was dying at the time so he didn't
exactly have a reason to lie, did he?

Jimmy's dead?
Yeah.

Sorry to hear that.
Well, you can send flowers.

So why would he said that you and him

had something to do with Amanda
Bennet's murder?

I've done a lot things in my time
I'm not proud of,

but I never killed no-one.

OK. Thank you.

Ricky gave evidence against
O'Doherty in court

over some drug deal.
Jimmy got four years.

So this could be about revenge.
Mm.

You sure there's no mention of him
in the original investigation?

Er...well, these are all the names
and addresses of people

who went through the Bennet house
a week prior to the murder.

Here you go.
Whoa. That's a lot of foot traffic.

To be fair, the Bennet's house
was up for sale

so they're probably all viewings.

Have you got the name of the estate
agent who showed them round?

Nope. Sorry.

I don't know him.

You sure.
Mm-hm.

What about him?

Maybe.
You recognise him.

Yeah. I think so.

Oh, he hasn't aged very well,
has he?

Did you show him round
the Bennet's place?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, his name wasn't on the list
you gave us at the time.

Well, it's erm...it's definitely
the same bloke.

Are you certain about that?
Mm-hm.

Erm... Davey something?

Yeah. Yep. That's him.

How can you be sure?

Erm...

Look, I don't make a habit
of this, OK?

It's just that erm...well,
we...we had a one night stand.

He threw up in my bed
and then he passed out.

Wasn't quite the night of passion
I was expecting.

Davey Jones.
Well, that's gotta be it.

Yeah.
You know when you interviewed him?

Yep. Did he have a catsuit on?
Lightning stripe across his face?

I don't know what you mean. Davey
Jones is David Bowie's real name.

Oh, of course, yeah.
So he's given us a false name

which explains why he never came up
in the investigation. Absolutely.

But if you interviewed him, Ronnie,
would you remember his face?

Look, Sam, I wasn't there
for all the interviews.

I did some, Bernie did some. I was,
you know... Is that your old partner?
Bernie Rawlins.

Your grandson filling out that
Hammer's shirt yet?

Yeah, well, he's getting there,
Bernie.

Hopefully playing for the first team
soon, be great.

Thanks, mate.

So, anyway, this...this interview.

The guy's real name is erm... Jimmy
O'Doherty.

The estate agent reckoned that she
took him back to her place

after the viewing.
So what's this all about, Ron?

You and I both know Simon Bennet's
as guilty as the day is long.

Hmm. Well, I thought that to, Bernie.

And now you don't anymore?

Well, I don't know. He had her blood
all over his shirt, yeah?

You tell me how it got there if he
wasn't the one caving her head in.

Well, he did say that he cuddled her
after he found her.

What if we got it wrong? Hmm?

What if Simon Bennet was
telling the truth?

He wasn't.

Then why is Jimmy O'Doherty telling
us he killed Amanda Bennet?

Maybe he wants his 15 minutes.
Well, maybe he does.

But nonetheless...the guv wants us
to look into it.

Don't tell me she's taking this
seriously.

So what was O'Doherty doing
at the house?

Safe to assume he didn't have
the cash to buy it.

Well, he was probably on a recce.
Nothing was taken.

No, but it does add weight to his
confession before he died.

Certainly enough to dig
a little deeper.

I'll call Callahan.

I think it's time this case was
reopened.

I'll let the Bennets know.

I could get someone else to do it?

No, no. I can do it.

Far cry from the Chelsea pad.

Guess he lost more than his daughter
and his reputation.

Sorry, I....thought you were
the Macmillan nurses.

I'm DS Casey. This is DS Brooks.

Mrs Bennet, may we - I'll deal with
this, darling. You go and lie down.

It's OK.

DS Brooks.
Mr Bennet.

What can I do for you?
We've come to inform you that...

..we're reopening the investigation
into Amanda's death. Oh, God, no.

Mr Bennet, please...

We're not here for you.

We have a suspect.

So why did you come here? We're
following up some new leads.

We thought you and your wife would
want to know.

We've spent the last 14 years trying
to put it all behind us.

My wife chooses to forget.

I'd prefer if you weren't here
forcing her to remember.

I'm very sorry. I know it must be
difficult - Thank you, Detective.

I'd very much like you and everyone
who works with you...

..to go to hell.

I'd have thought Simon Bennet
would be champing at the bit

to get his name cleared.

I get the feeling he's seen enough
coppers to last him a lifetime, guv.

Ron, have you got anything to link
Ricky Phelps with the murder scene?

Not yet, guv, no. So for all we know
O'Doherty was there on his own?

Phelps has got plenty of form.

He did a stretch at Ashbridge
for arson.

Yeah, well, arson doesn't carry much
currency inside.

Maybe Ricky Phelps bragged to one of
his cell mates

about doing something a little bit
more impressive.

So, Mr McDonald,

are you sure Amanda Bennet never
came up in conversation?

So Ricky Phelps never mentioned her?
Why would he?

So what did you guys talk about then?

On those long lonely nights
in that cell?

Usual shite.

Which screw's giving him a hard
time, who spat in his spaghetti.

You're up for parole, soon, aren't
you, Neil? Six weeks, isn't it?

What do you reckon are your chances?

I reckon I'm going home.
Really?

Even with that last adjudication
hanging over your head?

It was a fight, wasn't it?
Yeah.

No. Fight's never look good.
No, they don't.

They make the parole board think
you need a bit more rehabilitation.
That's right.

So. Why don't you use this
as a...golden opportunity?

Help us put away a murderer,
it will look good on you, won't it?

However,
if you really do enjoy it in here,

we could always have a word
with the parole board,

say that you were uncooperative.

Maybe he mentioned her.
No. 'Maybe's don't score that high.

He reckons he was off his head at
the time. At the time of what?

Amanda Bennet's murder.
He told you he was there?

He told me he strangled her.

Yeah. It's pretty obvious why
the blow to the head was recorded

as the cause of death. There was so
much oedema and blood in the brain.

Barely any external bruising
and the hyoid bone was intact.

And that would definitely be broken

if she'd been strangled?
Most likely, yeah.

The pathologist - he noted all
these marks on the neck.

Yeah, the bruising he's documented
as pressure applied to the neck.

As in strangulation?

Possibly, but he struggled to
pin point exactly what time
the bruising occurred,

whereas the colour and consistency
of the blood meant

that he could determine precisely
when the blow to the head happened.

Yeah. But there's a chance that
the bruising occurred

after the blow to the head?

I couldn't rule it out.

So she could have been strangled?

It's possible, yeah.

We need to start from scratch,
and look at everything again.

I'm gonna need a lot more evidence
before I put this in front
of the CPS.

O'Doherty's dead but Ricky Phelps
is still alive and kicking.

He not gonna confess
to a murder, guv.

Then talk to the people
who know him best.

Me and my brother ain't spoken
for two years

and you don't wanna hear the last
words I said to him. Try us.

Ricky crashed my son's birthday
party.

He scared the kids to death and then
he nicked my boy's Playstation.

That was the last straw.

What about 14 years ago?
We're trying to find out

if Ricky was involved in a murder.
Amanda Bennet.

I'm sorry? We think your brother
and his mate killed her.

I wouldn't know about that.

Well, you say the birthday party
was the last straw.

What else had he done to you?

Come on, Andy. Don't make us take
you down the station.

You'd have to shut up shop.

I gave him a job, didn't I?
And the keys to close up one night.

I came in the next morning and the
place had been stripped.

Two grand's worth of coffee machine,
chairs, tables, everything.

In all he took me for 15 grand.
Your lot said it was an inside job,

so I didn't get a penny off the
insurance.

You look like you've
replaced everything.

Yeah, and the debt I'm in now,
I can hardly sleep, so -

It's obvious your brother's
hurt you very badly.

I understand you don't wanna get
involved,

but if he ever mentioned Amanda
Bennet...

I don't need any more trouble.

Andy, if Ricky was the one who
turned you over,

make a new statement, I'll personally
see that it's looked into.

But if you know anything at all,
please tell us.

So we gonna pick up Ricky Phelps
now or let him sweat a bit longer?

Well, confession to his brother
isn't gonna be enough.

I don't wanna make the same
mistake twice.

Hello? Brooks.

Right. Thank you.

That was Lilly.
She wants us at the lab.

She has something.

Yeah. The original forensic
pathologist

found Simon Bennet's DNA on Amanda's
body. His saliva was on her hand.

There's no getting round DNA.
Yeah, well, 14 years ago a forensic
pathologist

needed rather a large sample
to glean a profile.

These days we can get one
from a microscopic sample.

So where are we going with this,
Lilly? I've re-analysed the sample

of saliva taken from Amanda's hand,

and I've found DNA that doesn't
belong to her or her father.

You've got a match?

No. The sample's deteriorated.

I can't get a whole profile.
But I've got a partial.

Very good, Lilly.
Don't get too excited, Ron.

Maybe she was with a boyfriend
before she came home.

No, no, no, Amanda had a shower
immediately before her death.

She was found in her dressing gown,
hair was still wet.

The original pathologist said she
was the perfect victim

because any evidence that was found
on her body got there through
the attack.

Well, in that case I'd say someone
other than her father was there

around the time Amanda Bennet
was murdered.

Simon Bennet went down for it but I
think we went after the wrong person.

What makes you think you've got
the right person now? New evidence.

We think that Jimmy O'Doherty and
Ricky Phelps killed Amanda Bennet,
only O'Doherty's dead.

Leaving Ricky Phelps
to take the rap?

How much evidence have you got
that Phelps was the killer?

O'Doherty's confession
and two witnesses

who claim Phelps confessed to them.
The witnesses are hearsay.

Anything else?
New forensic evidence -

a partial DNA sample was found on
Amanda's body.

It definitely did not come
from Simon Bennet.

Do you know who it did come from?
We can't be certain once again,

but there are strong indicators
within that partial sample

suggesting it came from Ricky Phelps.
It's not exactly concrete.

A witness claimed Phelps confessed
to strangling the victim.

The pathologist who re-examined the
photos and samples said it's a
strong possibility.

Even we didn't know that
strangulation could've been the cause

of death. We always thought she'd
died from that blow to the head.

Jake.
I know it doesn't look like much

but if we put all the pieces of
evidence together...

The more we look into this, the more
I am certain we got the wrong bloke.

All right. Make the arrest.

Richard Phelps,
I'm arresting you on suspicion

of the murder of Amanda Bennet.
You're making a mistake.

You do not have to say
anything... I never touched her.

You had. ..something which you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given
in evidence.

So you arrested your suspect.

Yes, we did.

Never gonna be easy admitting
we made a mistake.

'We'?

As I recall, I was teetotal, you
were a pisshead, and I carried you.

Well, I'm sorry you had to do that.

You more than anyone else should
know what this case cost me.

Cos I was working all the hours
that God sent,

the guv breathing down my neck
for a result.

And where were you?

You were propping up a bar
in the White Horse.

Well, now I just wanna put things
right.

Huh? Who for? Yourself?

Alleviating your guilt, is that it?

No. Not for me at all.
For Amanda Bennet, and her parents.

Oh, come on, Ron?

I think we got it wrong.

What makes you so sure?

We have confessions.

From dead crackheads
and armed robbers.

Yeah, I've still got mates here,
Ron.

We have new forensics.
Which won't stand up in court

because they're maybes.

What about a motive? You got one of
those? Like you said Bernie,

crackheads, you know,
there is no reason or logic there.

You've got nothing that puts Ricky
Phelps

at the Bennets' house
at the time of the crime. Nothing.

You ain't got a case, Ron.

And you know why?

It ain't cos we messed up in the
first place.

It's cos Simon Bennet did it.

Bernie, you can't know that.

There's things you don't know, Ron.

Really? Like what precisely?

Like his wife.
Mrs Bennet stood by him all the way.

In her statement, yeah,

but I spoke to her at the court
on the day Bennet was sent down.

She thanked me, Ron.

She thanked me for locking up her
daughter's killer.

Can you imagine what it's like
to be convicted

of killing your own child if you
didn't do it?

It doesn't seem to me like you have
proof of anyone else's guilt.

Partial DNA profile, a deathbed
confession

that can't undergo the scrutiny of
cross examination

and a couple of hearsay witnesses.

On their own each piece of evidence
is weak, I agree, but together?

You'd have to be a conspiracy
theorist

to believe that three unconnected
individuals

all decided to pin it on
the same innocent man.

Well, the evidence conspired against
Simon Bennet in the original case,

look where that got us.

Who do you think the jury will
believe killed Amanda?

A loving father or a couple
of crackheads

with a history of breaking into
people's houses?

75% of murder victims are
killed by someone they know.

Bang goes McDonald's witness
statement.

Phelps' brief is putting in an
application to have it excluded.

Not like you to sound defeatist,
Jake.

You haven't heard his grounds.

He reckons McDonald qualified
as a lawyer.

He's in prison for armed robbery!

And has put his sentence to good use
down the education block.

M'Lord, the conversation took
place on the prison wing,

over a card game.
Mr McDonald's legal training

is entirely coincidental and in no
way relevant to the confession.

It doesn't negate the fact that my
client was aware

of Mr McDonald's legal training.
It had a significant influence

on the nature and content
of their conversation.

Mr Nevins has a point. If the
defendant was seeking legal advice -

I think that's stretching it, M'Lord.
The conversation must still be
regarded as privileged.

M'Lord,
you can't possibly extend privilege

to a convicted armed robber
who's read a few law books

and completed a correspondence
course!

Mr McDonald graduated with honours.

The point is - with a criminal
record he won't be able to practice.

Isn't that the distinction
we have to make here?

If we discriminate against
Mr McDonald's legal position

because he also happens
to be a prisoner,

then a precedent will be set,
the floodgates will be opened.

I appreciate your concerns,
Mr Thorne,

but I do not believe this
is the appropriate time

to tackle the rights and wrongs
of legal privilege.

McDonald's evidence is excluded.

Judge Prentice
has so little backbone,
it's a miracle he can stand up.

We still have Ricky Phelps' brother.

It's about all we do have.
Let's hope he delivers the goods.

He told me he'd killed this girl.

I thought he was losing it, I mean,

I told him to think about
what he was saying,

be careful, but he just got angry,
he started shouting,

and kept saying he'd killed
her over and over.

I asked him who he was talking about

and then he said her name.

He said he'd killed Amanda Bennet.

No more questions, My Lord.

Mr Phelps. Am I right in thinking
that you run a cafe?

Yeah, I do. And there was a robbery
at your cafe three years ago?

Yeah. M'lord, what exactly does
a break in at the witness's cafe

have to do with this murder trial?
I'm getting there, M'Lord.

Get there a little faster,
Mr Nevins.

You made an insurance claim to cover
your losses, Mr Phelps?

I did, yeah. And the insurance
claim was turned down?

Yeah.

So you lost a considerable
amount of money.

Now who was responsible for that
robbery, Mr Phelps?

My brother.

You must've been very angry
with him?

I was angry, yeah, but -

Is that the real reason you're here
today,

to get revenge on your brother?
No, of course not.

But you lost everything? You had to
take out a loan to cover the loss?

Yes, but the insurance thing's
being sorted.

How is it getting sorted?

DS Brooks took a new statement,
said he's sorting it out for me.

DS Brooks?
Yeah.

The officer investigating this case?

The same officer who brought charges
against another person

in relation to this crime
fourteen years ago.

Our key witness
just totally discredited himself
in the witness box.

Defence made it sound like he was
only giving evidence to get back
at his brother.

He said you made him a promise.

What sort of promise?
Reckoned if he helped you out,

you'd help him get his
insurance money.

Made it sound like you bribed him.

No, I didn't.
I was there the whole time.

I said we would take a new statement
regarding his break in, which we did.

Yeah. Ronnie's offer was completely
legitimate.

That's not the way the
jury'll see it.

They'll see a witness who's done
a deal with a policeman.

Unless they hear your side.

DS Brooks,
You led the original investigation

into the murder of Amanda Bennet?

I was on the investigating team,

Detective Sergeant Bernard Rawlins
lead it.

You and DS Rawlins had a different
prime suspect first time round,

didn't you? That's correct.
You believed

that Amanda Bennet was murdered
by her father, Simon Bennet?

We did, yes. After serving
three years for the murder,

Mr Bennet was released on appeal?

Yes.
So he wasn't the killer?

We got the wrong man.

Knowing how deeply flawed your
original investigation was,

you must be desperate now to ensure
that another person

is convicted of that crime.

Well, I want to see the right person
put in prison, yes.

Is it true you're an alcoholic,
DS Brooks?

Relevance, M'Lord?

Mr Nevins? I'm trying to ascertain
DS Brooks' mental state

at the time of the original
investigation, M'Lord.

Answer the question, DS Brooks.

I've been sober for seven years.

Your drinking must have had
a significant impact

on your handling of the case?

It certainly didn't help.

So while you were three sheets
to the wind,

is it any wonder that your partner
developed a blind obsession

with convicting Simon Bennet?

He made some mistakes, but -
He decided who he thought was guilty

and went for them, disregarding all
the evidence, didn't he?

DS Rawlins was working under
a lot of strain.

It was very hard work, long hours,
he barely had enough sleep.

Well, it's no surprise the case was
riddled with errors

if DS Rawlins was suffering from
sleep deprivation.

He wasn't, he decided at the time
to take some pills

to make sure he got enough sleep.

I see, so there was one drunk
investigating officer

and another one popping pills!

And these two self-medicating
officers were responsible

for blundering through this case
and charging an innocent man.

Bernie, wait. Please? Bern!

Don't make it any worse, Ron.

I was under oath, Bernie.

You stabbed me in the back,
trashed my reputation.

Why can't you just... Why can't you
just admit that we got it wrong?

Make you feel better, will it?

All those nights you crashed
in our spare room

when Jean kicked you out.

We fed you, got you back on your
feet again.

I went to your AA first meeting
with you, remember?

And when you got pissed two days
later,

who scraped you off the pavement?

And I thought our friendship
meant something.

Look, come on, what about dinner?
Eh? My treat.

I only eat with family and friends.

And I lost my family...covering
your arse.

.

Get Phelps to plead to manslaughter.

But we can get him for murder,
Henry.

Well, so far your witnesses aren't
helping you prove it.

But we know he did it. I'm not seeing
him walk out of prison

in five years time with a slapped
wrist.

The way things are going,
he won't step foot in the sweatbox.

It's not just about convicting
Phelps. We owe it to Simon Bennet.

He spent three years in prison
for a murder he didn't commit -

his daughter's murder.

The CPS did that to him.
It's up to us to put that right.

If Phelps walks out of court
a free man,

we'll have wasted the
taxpayers' money

on a trial that could never
see a guilty verdict.

Isn't it better to have him
convicted of something,
rather than nothing?

Just get the plea, Jake.

Ronnie. Hmm?

We're going to offer Ricky Phelps
a deal.

But he killed Amanda Bennet.

We can't get him. I'm sorry.

Right.
Phelps will still go to prison.

I need to fix this.

It's over! Ronnie!

'When's this going
to stop?'

Is that how you felt when
you killed her? Eh?

I didn't kill Amanda.
The only reason I'm angry

is because her killer's still out
there and you're wasting
your time on me.

Let's have another look
at your alibi, shall we? Oh.

I told you I was driving home
from work.

There's no witnesses to support that
statement. I got a speeding ticket.
There'll be a time on that.

Yeah. We checked it. Yeah.

You still could've got home in time
to murder her.

No. There was someone. A man.

He was in the road.

I nearly knocked him over.
He swore at me.

He had dark hair.
He had this tattoo on his forearm.

It was er...a spider, or a scorpion.

Sam? Come and have a look at this.

He had this tattoo on his forearm.

It was er...a spider, or a scorpion.

He was describing Ricky Phelps.

Simon saw Phelps near his home
moments before he found his
daughter's body.

Ricky Phelps was never on our radar
because he wasn't on the original
interview list,

although O'Doherty was,
but used a false name - Davey Jones.

Bernie Rawlins initialed
'Davey Jones' as being interviewed
but then ruled it out.

But it puts O'Doherty in the house
two days before the murder

and Phelps on the street
immediately afterwards.

So you think we've got enough?

I think we need to talk
to Simon Bennet.

We have a photograph of the man we
think you saw

outside your house the day
Amanda was murdered.

If you were to give us an ID - Not
now. I've got to get to the hospice.

We can make an appointment for -
My wife's dying!

I'm so sorry.

I have to go. Mr Bennet, we don't
think the man you saw was a witness.

We think he was the killer.

I'm sorry. Mr Bennet, I don't
understand why you wouldn't want us

to get the man who killed
your daughter?

I was locked up for three years,
with murderers, paedophiles,

all thinking I'd killed
my own daughter.

While I was gone, Lynn was diagnosed
with breast cancer.

She's spent thirteen years beating
this disease...

..only now it's back.

The last thing I want is for it all
to be dragged up again.

She deserves to die
with some sense of peace.

I can't even begin to imagine how
hard this is for you,

how angry you must be with
the police, with us.

But this is a new case
and with your help

we believe we can convict the man
who destroyed your lives.

They've given Lynn a few weeks
at best.

Losing Amanda...broke her.

I'm not putting her through
all that again.

He is a victim of a miscarriage
of justice.

Every faith he had in the criminal
justice system's been ripped apart.

And he doesn't want to clear
his name?

I think he's past caring
what anyone else thinks.

Without the ID, we're back where we
started.

I'll call Phelps' brief.
Let's get this over with.

Just for the comedy value
what are you proposing?

I might consider accepting
a plea to manslaughter.

Heh. You're always good for a laugh,
Jake.

Simon Bennet told DS Rawlins he saw
a young man with dark hair

and a tattoo, identical to your
client's, outside his home,

moments before he went inside
and found his daughter's body.

You're telling me my client was
the only man in London 14 years ago

with a scorpion tattoo?

The only one sporting that look and
hanging around the Bennet's place at
that specific time, yeah.

And Simon Bennet's picked him out
of an ID parade, has he?

We wouldn't having this cosy little
conversation if you thought,

for one moment,
that you could convict my client.

Fine. Let's leave it to the jury.

The jury? I'm considering a halftime
submission of no case to answer.

Jake?

Give me a minute.

Simon Bennet's had a change of
heart. He's agreed to do the ID.

Mr Bennet, thank you.
I'm Jake Thorne.

What made you change your mind?

My wife's dead.

I'm so sorry.

I think all she wanted was to die
so she could be with Amanda.

They got to her, you know -
the police.

They took me away before
she got home.

You never got to talk to her?

They worked on her bit by bit,

till they'd convinced her
I was guilty.

It was nearly a year before
she'd see me.

She looked into my eyes
and she knew I couldn't do that.

When I got out of prison we made
this pact,

we'd try our hardest to forget
what had happened.

It was her way of protecting
herself.

She thought it would stop
the cancer coming back.

You have all these images in your
head...

..that you wish weren't there.

What he did to her.

All that blood.

Our beautiful girl.

For my wife's sake, I tried not to
think about what happened,

but Amanda was my only child...

..she was my life.

I need to know what happened to her.

DS Brooks is waiting for us
to do the ID.

Make sure you get it right
this time.

Please.

Mr Bennet, how long exactly did
you see Mr Phelps for?

I can't remember.
You can't remember?

Two or three seconds.

Three seconds, fourteen years ago.

On what was presumably the most
stressful day of your life?

And yet you remember exactly what
this stranger looked like?

I have lived in that day for 14
years.

Replayed it over and over,

every last detail.

So, yes, I remember exactly
what he looked like.

And you wouldn't have
to ask me any of this

if the police had investigated
my daughter's murder properly

14 years ago.

What were you doing walking away
from the Bennet's house?

I went there with Jimmy.

Had Jimmy O'Doherty ever been
to the Bennets' house before?

Yeah. He used to borrow
his old man's suits

and go and look at houses pretending
he wanted to buy them.

You went to the Bennets' house
as a lookout for Jimmy

while he went inside
to commit a burglary?

Yeah, that's right.
Didn't do nothing else.

While you were 'standing guard',
did you see Amanda Bennet?

Yeah, I saw her through the window.

She was coming down the stairs,
she was wearing a dressing gown.

I heard her yelling at Jimmy
to get out.

I saw him kill her.

And you saw all this from where you
were standing

at the front of the house?

Yeah. Amanda Bennet was killed
in the kitchen

at the back of the house.
You wouldn't have been able

to see her from the front?

Maybe, maybe it was
when I was round the back

when I was seeing what
was keeping Jimmy.

We heard forensic evidence that a
DNA sample was found on Amanda's body

and that there is a 60 percent
probability that it belongs to you.

That DNA puts you in the house
with Jimmy and with Amanda.

That's not mine.

That's an extraordinary coincidence,
isn't it?

That a DNA profile which is almost
certainly yours

is found on a victim killed by your
friend while you stood guard outside?

I don't know.

You and Jimmy thought the house
was empty, didn't you?

Jimmy said that it was empty.

Only Amanda was there?

Jimmy was the one that hurt
her, not me.

You didn't go to the house with
the intention of killing anybody,
did you?

No. But then she came down
the stairs yelling at you to get out?

At Jimmy, she was yelling at Jimmy.
She must have been terrified,
two strangers in her home.

She was chucking all this stuff
at Jimmy's head

and he started freaking out,
he went mental. He went mental.

And he went at her with this
metal door stop.

And I was screaming at him,
I was begging at him to stop.

I tried to pull him off her...

From outside the window?

I know you didn't want to hurt her,
Ricky.

I know that. But you were there,
weren't you?

Trying to stop Jimmy?

Trying to pull Jimmy off her?

Tell us what really happened,
Ricky.

He wouldn't stop.

I mean, he wouldn't stop.

And he just kept going at her.

She was on the floor. I just
remember there was so much blood.

Then suddenly he's yelling at me,
saying look what you done to her.

And she's looking at me, and she's
thinking that I done that to her,

she's thinking I done that to her?

Then I'm thinking the old bill
are gonna come

and she's gonna tell them
that it was me.

I mean I couldn't think straight.

I just...

..put my hands around her neck...

..and started to squeeze...

..until she stopped fighting.

The right man's behind bars.
14 years too late.

He'd still be a free man
if it wasn't for you.

Alesha, if it wasn't for me,
we wouldn't have been here.

How many more are gonna come
back and bite me?

We all make mistakes.

Anyway you fancy a Chinese? On me?

Yeah. Gimme an hour.
