to your sister-in-law, David?

Will you be suing the police?

38
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Seven years ago I was sent to prison
for something that I did not do,

39
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,960
for a terrible crime
that I did not commit.

I lost my liberty,

and, most importantly,
I lost my kids.

44
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,960
Why?

45
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Because of the Forensic Science
Service's criminal negligence

46
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,960
and because of a police investigation
that bent every bit of evidence

47
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960
to fit a theory
that was clearly wrong.

was that ordinary people lied.

was just too circumstantial.

it was helpful for the original case

but not on its own
enough to prove guilt.

But her blood was on his coat.
It was.

106

it might have got there by accident

prove he murdered anybody.

No, you didn't get anything wrong.

159

that I will come to exactly
the same conclusion

162
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,960
that you did seven years ago, OK?

163
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Everything's gonna be fine, babe.

164
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,960
Look.

165
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,800
These arrived this morning. Oh.

166
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,960
I thought maybe we could have a look
over the weekend. OK.
If you're about. Yeah.

167
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,960

Graham, can I see you as well?

172
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,960
So these are copies of the original
Tara Collins case file.

173
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Please take one each, digest, and
tomorrow first thing we start again.

174
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
And just...

175
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
We probably won't find anything
which puts Collins back inside.

176
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,960
The CPS have never sanctioned
a fourth trial for the same offence.

177
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,480
But what we might find, if we
give this our very best efforts,

178
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,480
is evidence which proves
conclusively this time
what actually happened that night,

179
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,640
and I think we owe Tara's family
that, at the very least.

180
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,960
OK. Thanks, guys.

181
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,960
Sorry. I expected you earlier.
They're both asleep now.

182
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,960
It took me back,
watching all those news reports.

183
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,960
I can't manage
on what you give us, Tom. That's
what the courts decided was fair.

184
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Courts can get it wrong, though,
can't they?

185
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,800
What were you thinking?
Another five a year.

186
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,960
I can't afford to pay you
another £5,000 a year, Louise.

187
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,480
Really?

188
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,000
But you're a consultant now.

189
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,480
And all that private work.

190
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,960
All those pretty young milfs who
pay you to peer between their legs.

191
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,960
How is your new wife, by the way?

192
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,000
Yeah, it took me back, Tom.

193
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,160
It took me right back.

194
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,960
Yes, I'm sorry to say
that in certain circumstances
special guardianship can be revoked.

195
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,960
But the key thing here, if it went
to court, what the judge would want
to know more than anything else,

196
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,960
and actually what both sets
of parents should want to know,

197
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,960
is what do the kids want?

198
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,960
Well, they'll want to stay with us.
Of course they will.

199
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,960
OK. So you've already
spoken to them about this?

200
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,960
No, not directly.
It's all happened so fast.
But we don't need to. We just know.

201
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,960
They hardly remember their father.
Jack was eight, Rosie was five.
He'd be a stranger to them.

202
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,960
Now all their friends are here,
their family, their school.
Everything's here.

203
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,800
None of this even takes into account
what they still believe he did.
Absolutely.

204
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,960
And all of those
are very powerful arguments.

205
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,960
But I also imagine that, in time,
they'll come to accept the fact
that he's been acquitted.

206
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,960
And, notwithstanding
all the other points you make,
they are still his kids.

207
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,960
All I'm saying is, if he does
apply for an access order,
they'll take it very seriously.

208
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Given that, my advice to you is
to start a dialogue with him.

209
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,000
What, with David? I know that might
seen impossible right now,

210
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,960
but, trust me, going to court
is not only incredibly expensive,

211
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,960
it's traumatic for everyone,
especially the kids.

212
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,960
But if you can talk
and find some compromise,

213
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,480
there might just be a way forward
that works for everyone.

214
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,960
I will never get over
what that man did to my family.

215
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,960
And I want you to know that if I was
ever in the same room as him,

216
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,960
I would try and kill him.

I wanted my brother
to look after them,

from Bolton after Tara died.

But they put up a very powerful
argument in court,

287
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,960
saying that the kids knew them better
and that they loved them

and she didn't have
any kids of her own,

so I'm sure that she did
love them, yeah.

they will think that seven years
is a very long time for a child not
to have any contact with a parent.

305
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,960
They've lived longer
without you than with.

306
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,960
You just need to be aware
that they will consider this.

307
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,960
(SIGHS)

308
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,960
But they are your kids,

309
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,960
and, on balance, I still believe
the courts would say you have
a right to see them. Yes.

310
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,960
But what would actually be better
is if we could open a dialogue
with the guardians.

311
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:13,640
If both sides start talking,
we could resolve the issue without
getting the courts involved at all.

312
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,960
Speak with Alice? Yeah.

313

(CHUCKLES BITTERLY)

314
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,960
How do you feel about that?

315
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,320
God, if I was in the same room
as that woman...

316
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960
I don't think that's gonna be
a possibility.

317
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,960
It's very clear to me
that David Collins remains
the most credible suspect.

318
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,960
We know the blood on his coat
was his wife's.

319
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,960
We have the sister's testimony
that there was a history of violence
from him towards Tara.

320
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,960
We have a witness
who heard a woman scream,

321
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,960
coming from the direction of
their house at approximately 11pm.

322
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:58,960
And we know that Collins lied
about his friend Tom Wilson being at
their house until 11:30 that night.

323
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,960
Wilson actually left at 10:30,

324
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,960
which meant Collins
would have had time
to drive to Dedham Lakes and back

325
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,960
before being seen by their milkman
at just after 5am.

326
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,960
But...

327
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,960
if this murder
had happened yesterday,

328
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,960
I would be exploring
other avenues as well.

329

Steve.

330
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,640
Tom Wilson.

331
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,960
When he was first interviewed,
his account tallied with Collins'.

332
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,960
He said he was drinking and
playing cards with him until 11:30.

333
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,960
But then three days later,
he revised his timings.

334
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960
I want to know why
he changed his mind.

335
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,960
Mari-Luz, you and me
are gonna look at Collins again,
but also Alice Moffatt.

336
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,960
Probably not gonna be a popular line
of inquiry, but the fact is she did
pretty well out of Tara's murder.

337
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,800
Before that, she and Rob were living
in a one-bedroom flat in Malling.

338
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,960
Always wanted kids,
husband was infertile,

339
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,960
so with Tara dead
and David in prison,
she had herself a ready-made family.

340
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,960
I want to go through everything that
happened that night, talk to Alice
about the meal she had with Tara

341
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,960
and speak to the witnesses
from the restaurant.

342
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,960
Lastly, just let's
do ourselves a favour.

343
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,960
None of this is gonna play well
out there,

344
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:18,960
so, until we're obliged,
let's just give all information out
on a need-to-know basis.

345
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,960
Great.

Hello. Mr Collins,
this is DI Cathy Hudson.
Your brother gave me your number.

I thought it might be useful

Yeah.

351
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,960
What on earth could Tom tell you
about the Collins case?
Is he around?

352
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,800
He's doing a lecture tonight.
Oh, OK. No problem.

353
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,960
I'll just give him a call, then.
Have you got his mobile?

354
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,960
Give me yours
and I'll get him to call you.

355
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,960
So how long have you two
been married now? Two years.

356
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,960
And he never mentioned that he used
to be David Collins' best friend?

357
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,960
I'll get him to call you.

Thanks for your time.

ALICE, NEXT ROOM: I'm not having
any discussions with him.

360
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,960
I'll do everything I can to prevent
him gaining access to the children.
ROB: Alice, just listen to me.

361
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,960
What about what the kids want? We
know what Rosie wants. What a very
confused 12-year-old girl wants.

362
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,960
She's terrified of him.
Because of everything
she thinks she knows about him.

363
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,960
What do you mean, she "thinks"
she knows? What does that mean?

364
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,960
Whether we like it or not,
he has been released

365
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,960
and he will be going after access,
with a very good chance
of getting it.

366
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,160
So however we do it, we need
to help the kids accept that.

367
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Our children even spending an hour
with that man makes me feel sick.

368
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,960
HIS children.
No. No. They are not his kids.

369
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,960
He gave up that right
when he killed their mother.
They're ours. They're Tara's.

00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,480
This is not helpful. Really -
You have such a fixed view
of everything!

371
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,960
What do you mean, a fixed view?
The case, Tara...

372
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,960
The last seven years wasn't
just my take on things. It was
the police's, ours, everybody's.

00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,960
Maybe we were wrong.

Look, all I'm saying is that after
three trials, he has been released.

375
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Yeah, on a technicality.
Maybe, but... Maybe?!

to try and defend that man!

Mm-hm. And when exactly did
Agata Wakowski stop working for you?

388
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,960
And any idea at all
where she is now?

389
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,800
Any of your staff who might know?

390
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:06,960
No, I do understand. You get a lot
of churn with immigrants but...
worth asking, maybe?

391
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,960
OK, tell you what.
How about I drop by right now
and interview them all myself?

392
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,800
Yes, I'll hold.

393
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,960
So, do you still think I killed her?

394
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,480
Yeah.

395
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,960
On balance, I do, yes.

396
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:32,960
But there are some...gaps
in the original investigation
which I want to look into.

397
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,960
And I intend to find out the truth.

398
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,960
If you think that'll be good
for you, you'll help me.

399
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,960
If you don't, you won't.

400
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,960
So, there are three main areas
that I want you to go away
and have a think about.

401
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,320
Firstly and most importantly,

402
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,960
can you think of anyone who would
have maybe wanted to hurt Tara?

403
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,320
Think about her behaviour
in the month leading up to her death

404
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,960
and ask yourself,
did anything odd happen?

405
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,960
Maybe something's occurred to you
since the original investigation
which might help us.

406
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,640
The fractured cheekbone she suffered
three months before she died,
she said she'd been mugged.

407
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,960
Same thing. Go back over the days
leading up to this incident

408
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:22,960
and ask yourself, did anything
unusual occur, anything at all?

409
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,960
Lastly, the blood on your coat.

410
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,640
If it wasn't cross-contamination,

411
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,800
any other suggestions
for how it could have got there.

412
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,800
That's my card.

413
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,960
Call me any time, night or day.

414
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,960
TOM: He told the police
I was with him till 11:30,

415
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,800
and I corroborated that
because I just assumed
he was telling the truth.

416
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,960
Only later I realised
that I couldn't have been.

417
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,960
I had an early surgery
the following day. No way
would I have been out that late.

418
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960
And my wife confirmed that. OK.

419
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:17,320
So it was a full three days later
that you decided to come forward
and correct your statement.

420
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,960
Why was that?
Because David was a friend,

421
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,000
and because I knew
I would be trashing his alibi.

422
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,960
At that stage, I didn't seriously
think that he could have done it,
so I held off.

423
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,960
And I ended up
as an accessory to murder,

424
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,960
and no-one signs up for that,
do they?

425
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,960
There you go, sweetheart. Thank you.

426
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,320
GRANDMOTHER: I'll drive her back
in an hour or so. Maybe they'll
have resolved it by then.

427
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,960
Did you ever wonder
why she never talked to us?

428
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,160
Tara, I mean,
about David hitting her.

429
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,960
There are things you don't tell
a parent that you'd tell a sister.

430
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960
Are there?

431
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,960
She wouldn't have wanted
to worry us.

432
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,960
But you were there, Pete,
when he threatened Alice,

433
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,320
when he threatened to kill her
just before he was charged.

434
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,960
We both saw that, didn't we?

435
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,960
I'd like to go over what you saw
that night at the restaurant, Agata.

436
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:03,960
I said all this seven years ago.
I just need to clarify
a couple of things.

437
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,960
Do you remember if they ate?
No. They eat nothing.

438
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,960
They drink, all night. Very drunk.

439
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,960
Particularly her, the older one.

440
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,640
Alice? Yeah, Alice.

441
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,960
What was their mood?
Very good spirits.

442
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Laugh, laugh, laugh,
till last 20 minutes.

443
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,960
Then shit, nasty row,
until they leave.

444
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,960
You said,
"They were in good spirits,
laughing and joking all night."

445
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,800
Not all night.
Till last 20 minutes.

446
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,960
The other woman
working that night - Sylvie -
didn't mention anything about a row.

447
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,960
Sylvie was on a different section.

448
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,960
Plus, she didn't see what I see
when I went out for a smoke.

449
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,960
What did you see?
What I told police officer.

450
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:55,640
By lavatories, big sister
grab little one by throat
and push into the wall. Nasty.

451
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,960
Why were you not called as a witness
at the trial? I don't know.

452
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,960
I returned to Poland for a year
just after I give statement,

453
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,960
but I would have come back
if they ask.

454
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,960
OK, thank you.

455
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,960
Phil? Quick word, mate.

456
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,960
Eric. How's tricks?
Yeah, all good, mate. All good.

457
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,960
Look, I just wanted to say that...

458
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,960
you're not gonna be
doing yourself any favours
letting him stay at yours.

459
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:40,960
No-one's got a problem with you,
and we understand that he's...
well, he's family, but...

460
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,960
you'll have to find him
somewhere else to live.
(SCOFFS)

461
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,640
He'll live where he wants, mate.

462
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,960
It's a free country,
last time I checked.

463
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,000
He needs to leave, mate.

464
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,960
(CHILD GIGGLES)
Got you there.
There's nothing you can do.

465
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,960
Nothing you can do!

466
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,960
And that, young man,
is how you incapacitate
your common or garden bank robber.

467
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Right. Go and clean your teeth
and I'll come read you a story,
all right? Chop chop.

468
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,960
You know what?
I've just remembered. We did
actually try and get hold of her.

469
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,960
But she came from some
arse-end village north of Gdansk

470
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,960
and we never managed
to track her down.

471
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,960
Obviously, if her statement
had been key, we might have
tried a little harder but...

472
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,960
Right.

473
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:59,960
It's just cos she now says
that she told you she saw Alice
assault her sister that night.

474
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:01,960
Assault her? Yeah.

475
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,960
Assault her how? She said
she grabbed her by the throat
and pushed her against a wall.

476
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,960
Jesus! No. She never said
anything remotely like that.

477
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,960
Obviously she didn't,
cos if she had, it would be in her
witness statement. Yeah, of course.

478
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,960
I'm just wondering
why she'd say that to me, then.

479
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,320
I don't know.
Maybe she remembered it wrong.

480
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,960
Or...maybe she's got some agenda
we don't know about. You tell me.

481
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,960
I don't know. I've no idea.

482
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,000
Jacob!

483
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,960
Jack! Rosie! Supper!

484
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,960
Where's Jack? I thought he was
down here. He's not upstairs.

485
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,960
Is he with Dad?

486
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,960
Rob, have you seen Jack?

487
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,960
Isn't he back? No.

488
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,960
Call his mobile.

489
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,960
Jack?

490
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:29,960
Jack?

491
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,960
Jack?

492
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,960
(Oh, my God. Oh, my God.)

493
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,960
Hi, Jack. Give us a bell as soon as
you get this message, will you?
Cheers, mate.

494
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,160
Voicemail.

495
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,960
I just presumed he'd be in his room.
He hasn't been home since school.

496
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,480
It's fine. He'll be at some club
and just forgotten to tell us.
It's 7:30, Rob.

497
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,640
Rosie darling,
do you want to lay the table?

498
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,640
What if he's taken him?

499
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,960
He won't take him.

500
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,960
He knows this house.
He knows where we live.

501
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,320
I'll call the police.

502
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,960
(CAR PULLS UP)

503
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,960
(Fuck!)

504
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,960
Hello, mate.

505
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,960
What the fuck
are you doing in my house?

506
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,960
What do you want?
WOMAN, UPSTAIRS: Tom?

507
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,960
It's all right, love!
I'm just on the phone!

508
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,960
How did you get in here?

509
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,480
The back door was open.

510
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,640
I was worried about you, mate.

511
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,960
I'm calling the police.
No, no, Tom.

512
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,960
No need. I'll go.

513
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,960
I'll go.

514
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,960
(PUTS BOTTLE DOWN)

515
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,800
I just wanted to see you, mate.

516
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,960
And I wanted to ask you...

517
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,960
..were you just fucking my wife,
or did you kill her too?

518
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:45,960
Tom?

519
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,960
It's all right. It's all right.
It's fine. It's fine.

520
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,960
It's fine.

521
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,960
