(DOOR LOCK RATTLES)

MAN: Time.

MAN: All rise.

MAN: Will the foreman stand please?

WOMAN: Have you reached a verdict
on which at least 10 of you agree?

MAN: No.

And do you think
if I gave you any more time,

you would be able to reach a verdict
on which at least 10 of you agreed?

No. I'm sorry.

(MURMURING)

In which case, I am obliged
to call the trial to a halt

and discharge you, the jury.

And having consulted
with the prosecution

in anticipation of such an outcome,

it is my duty to tell you,
Mr Collins,

that the prosecution intend to offer
no further evidence

and, as such, given this was
the third trial for the same offence,

you are now formally acquitted of
all charges, and are free to leave.

(MURMURING AND EXCLAMATIONS)

Court will now adjourn.

(SOBS) You killed my sister you
bastard! You murdered my sister!

(WOMAN CONTINUES SOBBING)

No!

MAN: How you feeling, Alice?
You angry with the jury?

MAN: How do you feel about your
brother-in-law, Mrs Moffatt?

Excuse me.
WOMAN: Still think he did it, Alice?

MAN: What have the police
said to you, Mrs Moffatt?

WOMAN: Have the children spoken
to him, Mrs Moffatt?

Do you still think he did it, Alice?
Can we go, please, driver?

WOMAN: DCI Beech, what is your
reaction to Mr Collins's release?

My thoughts right now
are with Tara Collins' family -

her mum, her dad, her sister...

Do you have any new leads?

We'll be reviewing all the evidence
we have. Excuse me.

Are there any other suspects?

Will, are you looking for
anyone else?

No, we're not
looking for anyone else.

(REPORTERS CONTINUES SHOUTING)

MAN: This way, sir!

(MUFFLED SHOUTING ECHOES OUTSIDE)

OK, I'm gonna get our car
to come round the back.

It's insane out there.

Come on.

David?

No. No.

Dave. Dave!

(REPORTERS CLAMOUR)

MAN: How do you feel?
Are you angry, Mr Collins?

WOMAN: What would you like to say
to your sister-in-law, David?

MAN: What would you like to say
to Tara's family?

MAN: Will you be suing
Mrs Moffatt, David?

Have you spoken to your children?

Seven years ago, I was sent to prison
for something that I did not do -

for, uh, a terrible crime
that I did not commit.

Overnight, I lost my wife,

I lost my liberty

and, most importantly...
I lost my kids.

Why?

Because of the Forensic Science
Service's criminal negligence,

and because of a police investigation
that bent every bit of evidence

to fit a theory
that was clearly wrong!

And more important than that...

..much worse
was that ordinary people lied.

They lied for their own ends.

And if they are watching this now,

then I want them to know
that I will expose them.

I will expose them
for what they have put me through.

I've had seven years
of my life stolen

and now I want justice.

I want my wife's real killer found!

I want those that lied
brought to book.

And I want my children back.

Thank you, ladies and gentleman.
Where will you live, Mr Collins?

Mr Collins would like to get home,
thank you. No more questions.

MAN: Let him through. Come on!
Excuse me. Thank you. Excuse me.

Make way!
No more questions.

MR MOFFATT: We should have been
more honest with the children.

We should have told them
this was a possibility.

What would we have said, Rob?

Just what?

It's not just a question of
having an open mind, DCI Beech.

We have to be seen to have one.

It was a stupid thing to say,
obviously.

It's just that we all know he was
released on a technicality, so...

I've never worked on a case that
explored more possibilities, sir.

There was no-one else. It was him.

Well, I hope so.

The public hardly need another
reason to distrust us, do they?

Which is why I know
you'll understand

my need now for
a fresher pair of eyes.

(PHONES RING)

(PHONE RINGS)

DI Hudson.

Yes, sir.

No.

(SOBS) No, no...

No!
It's alright, darling.

No!

Why, Mum, why?!

REPORTER: In March 2015, the
Forensic Science Service laboratory,

which handled the original evidence,

was found to have routinely broken
standard storage protocols,

making it impossible...
(PHONE RINGS)

..for the court to discount
cross-contamination took place.

With this, the third
such collapsed trial...

Louise.
So, I presume you've seen the news.

..government ministers
are now asking for a public...

Why don't you come over later,
see the kids?

..further expected...
We can have a chat.

So, I want you to pick a team

completely unconnected to
the original investigation,

and then I want you to start again -

to investigate this case
as if she were killed yesterday.

You think you can do that?

Yes, sir. Why not?

Oh, there's about 50 reasons why not

walking the corridors of
this station alone, DI Hudson.

But we need to send a message out

that despite DCI Beech's remarks
this morning,

we take the court's decision
very seriously indeed.

Yes, sir, of course.
Good.

And keep me up to speed
on any new developments.

I've got the Home Office
breathing down my neck.

GIRL: What about the other evidence?

ROB: Well, in the end, the jury must
have decided that the other stuff

was just too circumstantial.

What's circumstantial?

Well, it means that, uh, 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.

But the jury believed it might have
got there by accident,

at the forensic laboratory.

But...what about all the other stuff
he did to her, hitting her,

and...and the threats
he made to you?

Well, again, darling, it doesn't
prove that he murdered anybody.

What was he talking about
when he said people had lied?

Well...

..if he wants people to believe him,

he's going to have to say
we all lied, isn't he?

Did you?

Of course not, Jack.

So, you still think he did it?

Well, you know...

In the end, you know,
I think it's probably best

not to dwell on our own opinions.

I think...

..the truth is we'll probably
never know one way or the other.

This is so fucked-up.

Jack, Jack, I know
this must be really...

Just leave him, love. Just let him
have some time on his own.

What's to stop him
just taking us back?

Lots, Rosie.
There is lots to stop him.

I bet he's gone to live
with Uncle Phil!

It's only 15 minutes away...
No, no, no.

..and he could come and take us...
That's not going to happen, darling.

..when we're outside school and...
It's OK. It's OK.

..he killed our mum
and he could kill us!

(CRIES)

(WHISPERS) I'm so sorry.

PHIL: Here we go.

How long you been here?

Oh...about six months.

Well, the old place
was too big, really, and, um...

Well, your case took up
a fair amount of time.

Both gave me the excuse
to chuck in my shite job

and, uh, well, to take one
that I...I actually enjoy -

for which, my dear brother,
I am eternally grateful.

Sorry, um...

I...I didn't know
how today was gonna go.

But, obviously,
I'll...I'll clear all this out now.

Phil...

Shut up.

I don't know how I'm ever
gonna be able to thank you.

You would have done the same for me.

Nah, I bloody wouldn't have. (LAUGHS)

Right. (CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah, I'm gonna stick the kettle on.

There's a few boxes of stuff
from your old house that...

..I managed to get in
before Alice took everything.

Are they still just outside Halesham?
Yeah.

I drive over every now and then,
just...just to see the kids.

What, SEE see them? Have you...?

Have you spoken to them, Phil?
No, no. From a distance.

I've taken a few photos over
the years. They're in there too.

In here?

Milk and sugar?

MAN: There you go.

£3.20.

Hey.

Hi.

Listen, I had no idea
he was gonna give me the case.

I know.

And, obviously, I've got no choice
about whether I...

I had to say yes, Will.
Hey, it's alright, it's alright.

I'm pleased for you, of course I am.

And I'm here for you,
if you need any help. Genuinely.

Listen, he knows you got it right.

Does he? Didn't sound like it to me.

(SIGHS)

Jesus, maybe there is someone else
out there. Maybe I did get it wrong.

No, no, you didn't
get anything wrong.

You know that, everyone knows that.

I'm just gonna do what I'm told,
and do what's required of me,

and then I have absolutely no doubt

that I will come to
exactly the same conclusion

that you did seven years ago, OK?

Everything's gonna be fine, babe.

Look.

These arrived this morning.

I thought maybe we could
have a look over the weekend.

OK.
If you're about.

Yeah.

Um...

That's nice.
That is nice.

Only two bedrooms, though.

Yeah, maybe it's...
A bit far away.

(SOBS)

Steve? Mari Luz?

Can I see you both in here, please?

Graham, can I see you as well?

So, these are copies of the original
Tara Collins case file.

Please take one each, digest,

and then tomorrow, first thing,
we start again.

And just...

We're probably not gonna
find anything

which puts Collins back inside.

The CPS have never sanctioned
a fourth trial for the same offence.

But what we might find, if we
give this our very best efforts,

is evidence which proves,
conclusively this time,

what actually happened that night.

And I think we owe Tara's family
that, at the very least.

OK.

Thanks, guys.

Sorry, I expected you earlier.
They're both asleep now.

Took me back,
watching all those news reports.

I can't manage on
what you give us, Tom.

Well, that's what the courts
decided was fair.

Yeah, well, courts can get it wrong,
though, can't they?

What were you thinking?

Another five a year.

I can't afford to pay you another
£5,000 a year, Louise.

Really? But you're a consultant now.
And all that private work?

All those pretty young MILFs who pay
you to peer between their legs.

How is your new wife, by the way?

Yeah, it took me back, Tom.

Took me right back.

Yes, I'm sorry to say,
that in certain circumstances,

special guardianship can be revoked.

But I think the key thing here,
if it went to court,

what the judge would want to know,
more than anything else,

and actually what both sets
of parents should want to know,

is "What do the kids want?"

Well, they'll want to stay with us.
Of course they will.

OK.

So, you've already
spoken to them about this?

Well, no, not directly.
It's all happened so fast.

But you know, we don't need to -
we just know.

Yeah, they...they hardly remember
their father.

Jack was eight, Rosie was five.
He'd be a stranger to them.

And all their friends are here,
their family,

their...their school,
everything's here.

And none of this
even takes into account

what they still believe
he did, of course.

Absolutely. And all of those
are very powerful arguments.

But I'd also imagine
that, in time,

they'll come to accept the fact
that he's been acquitted,

and notwithstanding
all the other points you make,

they are still his kids.

All I'm saying is if he does apply
for an access order,

they'll take it very seriously.

And given that, my advice to you
is to start the dialogue with him.

What, with David?

I know that might
seem impossible right now,

but trust me - going to court
is not only incredibly expensive.

It's traumatic, for everyone,
especially the kids.

But if you can talk
and find some compromise,

there might just be a way forward
that works for everyone.

I will never get over
what that man did to my family.

And I want you to know that if I was
ever in the same room as him,

I would try and kill him.

(WAVES CRASH)

PHIL: Um, I'm gonna nip down
the shops to get us some grub.

Is there anything in particular
you fancy?

Can I go?
Course you can.

And you don't have to ask.

No, no. Sorry. Force of habit.

Here you go.

And, uh, maybe grab some beers?

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Oh, and I got you this. It's, um, an
old one of mine, but should be OK.

I've stuck my number in it
and, uh, your lawyer's.

Right.

I'm gonna pay you back, Phil,
for everything. I swear.

Eva, I'm so sorry.
The traffic was mental.

Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.

(KISSES) Sorry, baby.

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

Tim?

Tim, it's me, Dave.

You alright?

You're my daughter's godfather.

You're my friend, Tim.

I'm not your friend.

You have no friends.

Now, fuck off back under that stone
you crawled out from.

Oh!

I am innocent! Alright?!

I am innocent! Now, you...

Aagh!
..fucking say it!

(PUNCHES)
Aagh!

Dave!
Say it!

Dave! No, mate, no! No, no, no.

No, mate, no.
I didn't get go to my wife's funeral!

It's alright. It's alright.

I saw my wife's grave four hours ago!
Let's go home. Lets go home.

Let's go home.

ALICE: We wouldn't let him
take you, Rosie, either of you.

You're safe here, with Mum and Dad,
always safe.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(DAVE GRUNTS AND BREATHES HEAVILY)

DAVE: (ON RECORDING) Just to say
that, Tara, if you're watching this,

the kids and me,
we love you so much.

And we want to see you
and we just want you back.

Right?

And if anybody is watching this
and knows where she is...

..contact...

We just want her back
with her family.

So...we love you very much.

BEECH: Thank you.

Mr Collins won't be answering
any questions at this time.

Thank you very much.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Can't sleep.

JACK: Come here.

If you feel bad, just text me,
right? I'll come get you.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened to you last night?
I gave you a call.

Yeah, I...my phone was on silent,
and then it was late.

Ahh.
So...

You know that three-bedder
in Ripley - perfect.

Yeah, that was the one I liked.
Yeah?

I could get a transfer to Banham,
you could stay here.

It's only a 10-mile commute
for each of us.

Yeah.
Great.

So, shall I arrange a viewing?

You around this weekend?

Yeah, yeah, perfect.
Great.

Hey...

Anything you want me
to go through with you?

No, I'm good. Thanks, though.

(HORNS BLARE)

(RINGS INTERCOM)

So, your sister-in-law offered
to take on the children?

Yeah.

With your blessing?

No, absolutely not, no.

No, 'cause I knew,
at that point, right,

that she'd told the police lies
about me.

About you hitting your wife.

Among other things, yeah.

And, so, you resisted it?

Yeah, I tried to. I wanted
my brother to look after them.

And he agreed to move down
from Bolton after Tara died.

But they put up
a very powerful argument in court,

saying that...saying that
the kids knew them better,

and, uh...and that they loved them,

and it was the least disruptive
option for everyone.

And this was true?

Look...

She'd been a good aunt.

And...she didn't have any kids
of her own,

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

Still does, in fact, and...

OK.

And am I right in thinking
that you haven't seen your children

since the day you were arrested?

No.
Because?

Well, I wanted them to visit me,
of course, but they refused.

Did you write to them?

Yeah, I did, at first, yeah.

And did they write back?

I got a response to my first letter,
from my son.

Right.

Which was, understandably,
very angry.

Mm.

OK, I only ask
because in terms of the court,

they will think that seven years
is a very long time

for a child not to have
any contact with a parent.

They've lived longer without you
than with.

And you just need to be aware
that they will consider this.

But they are your kids.

And, on balance,
I still believe that the courts

would say you have
a right to see them.

Yes.

But what would actually be better

is if we could open a dialogue
with the guardians.

If both sides start talking,

we could resolve the issue without
getting the courts involved at all.

Speak with Alice?

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

How do you feel about that?

God, if I was in the same room
as that woman...

I don't think that's gonna
be a possibility.

It's very clear to me
that David Collins remains

the most credible suspect.

We know the blood on his coat
was his wife's.

We have the sister's testimony

that there was a history of violence
from him towards Tara.

We have a witness
who heard a woman's scream

coming from the direction of
their house at approximately 11pm.

And we know that Collins lied about
his friend, Tom Wilson,

being at their house
until 11:30 that night.

Wilson actually left at 10:30,

which meant Collins
would have had time

to drive to Dedham Lakes and back,

before being seen by their milkman,
at just after 5am.

But if this murder
had happened yesterday,

I would be exploring
other avenues as well.

Steve...

Tom Wilson.

When he was first interviewed,
his account tallied with Collins'.

He said he was drinking and playing
cards with him until 11:30.

But then, three days later,
he revised his timings.

I want to know why
he changed his mind.

Mari Luz, you and me
are gonna look at Collins again,

but also Alice Moffatt.

Probably not gonna be
a popular line of inquiry,

but the fact is she did pretty well
out of Tara's murder.

Before that, she and Rob were living
in a one-bedroom flat in Malling.

Always wanted kids,
husband was infertile.

So, with Tara dead
and David in prison,

she had herself a ready-made family.

So, I want to go through everything
that happened that night.

I want to talk to Alice about the
meal she had with Tara that evening,

and speak to the witnesses
from the restaurant.

Lastly, just let's
do ourselves a favour.

None of this is going to
play well out there.

So, until we're obliged,

let's just give all information out
on a need-to-know basis.

Great.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?
Mr Collins, this is DI Cathy Hudson.

Your brother gave me your number.

I thought it might be useful
if we met.

WOMAN: The Collins case?
Yeah.

What on earth could Tom tell you
about the Collins case?

Why? Is he around?

He's doing a lecture tonight.

Oh, OK.

Well, no problem,
I'll just give him a call, then.

Have you got his mobile?

Give me yours
and I'll get him to call you.

So, how long have you two
been married now, then?

Two years.

What? And he...he never mentioned

that he used to be
David Collins' best friend?

I'll get him to call you.

Thanks for your time.

ALICE: I'm not going to have
any discussions with him. I'm not.

And I'm going to do everything
I can to prevent him

from gaining any access
to the children.

ROB: Alice, will you
just listen to me?

ROB: What about what the kids want?

ALICE: Well, we already know
what Rosie wants.

Yeah, we know what a very confused
12-year-old girl wants.

No, no, she's terrified of him, Rob.
Yeah, of course she is.

Because of everything she thinks
she knows about him.

What do you mean "she thinks
she knows"? What does that mean?

Look, whether we like it or not,
he has been released

and he will be going after
some sort of access,

with a very good chance
of getting it.

So, however we do it, we need to
help the kids accept that.

Our children even spending an hour
with that man makes me feel sick.

HIS children.

No! No.

They are not his kids.

He gave up that right
when he killed their mother.

They're ours Rob. They are yours
and mine. They're Tara's.

This is not helpful.
Really, really...

God, you have such a fixed view
of everything!

What do you mean "a fixed view"?
The case, Tara, this...

The last seven years
wasn't just my take on things.

It was the police's,
it was ours, it was everybody's!

Maybe we were wrong.

Look, all I'm saying is that after
three trials, he has been released.

Yeah, on a technicality.
Yeah, maybe, but...

Maybe?! Maybe?! I can't believe

you're even beginning to try
and defend that man!

(CLATTERING)

Rosie...

Rosie?

Rosie!

DAVID: "My Jack, Thank you
for your letter.

"I completely understand your anger,

"and if what I have been accused of
were true,

"you would have every right to
hate me as much as you say you do.

"Please believe I am innocent.

"All I can think of is the day
that my name is cleared."

Hello.

Mm-hm.

And when exactly did Agata Wakowski
stop working for you?

And any idea at all
where she is now?

Any of your staff who might know?

No, I do understand. You get
a lot of churn with immigrants.

But worth asking...maybe.

OK, tell you what -
how about I drop by right now

and interview them all myself?

Yes, I'll hold.

So, um...

..do you still think I killed her?

Yeah.

On balance, I do, yes.

But there are some...gaps
in the original investigation,

which I want to look into.

And I intend to find out the truth.

If you think that'll be
good for you, you'll help me.

If you don't, you won't.

(SIGHS) So, uh, there are
three main areas

that I want you to go away
and have a think about.

Firstly, and most importantly...
(CLEARS THROAT)

..can you think of anyone who would
have maybe wanted to hurt Tara?

I want you to think about
her behaviour

in the month
leading up to her death,

and ask yourself,
"Did anything odd happen?"

Maybe something
that's occurred to you

since the original investigation,
which might help us.

The fractured cheekbone
that she suffered

three months before she died.

Obviously,
she said she'd been mugged.

Same thing -
can you go back over the days

leading up to this incident,

and ask yourself,
"Did anything unusual occur?"

Anything at all.

And then, lastly,
the blood on your coat.

If it wasn't cross-contamination,

any other suggestions
for how it could have got there?

That's my card.

Call me any time, night or day.

TOM: No, he told the police
that I was with him until 11:30,

and I corroborated that

because I just assumed
he was telling the truth.

And it was only later, I realised
that I couldn't have been.

I had an early surgery
the following day

and there's no way that
I would have been out that late.

And my wife confirmed that.

OK. (SNIFFS)

So, it was a full three days later

that you decided to come forward
and correct your statement?

(SIGHS)
Why was that?

Because David was a friend.

And because I knew
I would be trashing his alibi.

At that stage, I didn't seriously
think that he could have done it.

So, I held off.

And I ended up
as an accessory to murder.

And no-one signs up for that,
do they?

(GROANS)

There you go sweetheart.
Thank you.

I'll drive her back
in an hour or so.

Maybe they'll have resolved it
by then.

Did you ever wonder
why she never talked to us -

Tara I mean -
about David hitting her?

There are things you don't tell
a parent that you'd tell a sister.

Are there?

She wouldn't have wanted to worry us.

But you were there, Pete,
when he threatened Alice.

When he threatened to kill her,
just before he was charged.

We both saw that, didn't we?

HUDSON: I'd like to go over
what you saw

that night at the restaurant, Agata.

I said all this seven years ago,
I went through everything then.

I just need to clarify
a couple of things.

Do you remember if they ate?
No. They eat nothing.

They drink... Phhh! All night.

Very drunk, particularly her,
the, um, older one.

Alice?
Yeah, Alice.

And what was their mood?

Very good spirits -
laugh, laugh, laugh.

Till the last 20 minutes.

Then...shit, nasty row,
until they leave.

I have here, you said,
"They were in good spirits,

"laughing and joking all night."

Not all night, till last 20 minutes.

And the other woman
working that night...

Sylvie?

She didn't mention anything
about a row.

Sylvie was on different section.

Plus, she didn't see what I see
when I went out for smoke.

What did you see?

What I told police officer.

By lavatories, big sister
grab little one by throat,

and push into the wall.

Nasty.

Why were you not called
as a witness at the trial?

I don't know.

I returned to Poland for a year
just after I give statement

but I would have come back
if they ask.

OK, thank you.

Phil?

Quick word, mate.

Eric, how's tricks?
Yeah, all good mate, all good.

Look, I just wanted to say
that, um...

..well, you're not gonna be doing
yourself any favours, fella,

letting him stay at yours.

No-one's got a problem with you,
and we understand that he's...

..well, you know,
he's family, but, um...

..well, you have to find him
somewhere else to live.

He'll live where he wants, mate.

It's a free country,
last time I checked.

He needs to leave, man.

(CHILD LAUGHS)

Yeah, got you there!
There's nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do!

And that, young man,

is how you incapacitate
your common or garden bank robber.

Right, go and clean your teeth,

and I'll come read you
a story alright?

Chop-chop.

You know what? I just remembered.

We did actually try
and get hold of her, but, uh...

..she came from some
arse-end village north of Gdansk

and we never managed
to track her down.

I mean, obviously,
if her statement had been key,

we might have tried
a little harder but, uh...

Right.

It's just 'cause
sh...she now says that she told you

that she saw Alice
assault her sister that night.

Assault her?
Yes.

Assault her how?

She said she grabbed her by the
throat and pushed her against a wall.

(SCOFFS) Jesus!

No! She never said anything
remotely like that.

I mean, obviously she didn't,
'cause if she had have done,

it would be
in her witness statement.

Wouldn't it?
Yeah, of course. Yeah, it would.

I'm just wondering
why she'd say that to me...and...

I don't know.
Maybe she remembered it wrong.

Or...

Maybe she's got some agenda
we don't know about.

You tell me.
I don't know. I have no idea.

Jacob?

Jack, Rosie, supper!

Where's Jack?

I thought he was down here?
He's not upstairs.

Is he with Dad?

Rob, have you seen Jack?

Isn't he back?
No.

Call his mobile.

Jack?

Jack?

Jack...

(WHISPERS) Oh, my God, oh, my God.

ROB: Hi, Jack, give us a bell

as soon as you get this message,
will you?

Cheers, mate.

Voicemail.

Well, I just presumed
he'd be in his room.

That means that he hasn't been home
since school.

That's fine. He'll be at some club
and just forgotten to tell us.

It's 7:30, Rob.

Rosie, darling,
do you want to lay the table?

What if he's taken him, Rob?

He won't take him.

He knows this house.
He knows where we live.

I'll call the police.

(GROANS)

(SIGHS)

Fuck!

Hello, mate.

What the fuck are you doing
in my house?

What do you want?

WOMAN: Tom?

Uh, it's alright love,
I'm just on the phone.

How did you get in here?

Back door was open.

I was worried about you, mate.

I'm calling the police.

No, no, Tom...

No need.

I'll go.

I'll go.

I just wanted to see you, mate.

And I wanted to ask you...

..were you just fucking my wife
or did you kill her too?

(WHISPERS) Tom?

It's alright, it's alright,
it's fine. Fine.

It's fine.
