by two separate
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,

"D'you want me to grab
that in your size?"

I'm like,
"You're a shop assistant.

Assist me. Don't make me
feel like topping meself!"

Does it fit?

I'm not having the likes of her

tell me I can't have
a size eight

if I want a size eight.

It doesn't fit ya, does it?

It's the principle.

Hey! Get off.
Get off me bag!

Get off me bag!

Get off! Get off!

Someone get him!
Stop him!

Oi! Come back here!

Oi! Come back!

Oi!

Oi!

( Horn honks )

James O'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, CID?

He asked for you by name.

Really?

( Monitors beeping )

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

Amanda Bennet.

I'm sorry?
What did you just say?

I killed Amanda Bennet.

Me and Ricky, we killed her.

( Sustained beep )

Excuse me, sir.
No, one second.

Outside, please.
Outside.

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

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

this "Ricky" that
killed Amanda Bennet.

How d'you know?

Because the investigating
officer on that case was me.

DS RONNIE BROOKS: 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.

The jury agreed.

Simon Bennet got life.

So how come the geezer's
not banged up?

He did serve three years,
then 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 neighbors said
that they heard Simon Bennet

screaming blue murder at Amanda
the night before she died,

and apparently
it hadn't been the first time

he'd lost his cool with her.

She was one of these unruly
kids, ( phone ringing )

y'know, 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've got no idea, Gov.

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 fourteen 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'll
have his address.

I haven't seen Jimmy in years.

How many years?

Uh, ten, eleven.
Maybe more.

You two have some
sort of disagreement?

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.
Makes 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.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, you can send flowers.

So why would he say
that you and him

had something to do with
Amanda Bennet's murder?

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

but I never killed no one.

DS SAM CASEY:
Okay, thank you.

( Hangs up phone )

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 them

in the original investigation?

Uh, well, these are
all the names and addresses

of the people who went
through the Bennet house

a week prior to the murder.
There you go.

Whoa. That's a lot
of foot traffic.

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

so they were probably
all viewings.

You got the name of the estate
agent that showed them round?

No, sorry, I don't know him.

You sure?
Mm-hmm.

What about him?

Maybe.

You recognize him?
Yeah, I think so.

He hasn't aged very well,
has he?

Did you show him round
the Bennets' place?

Yeah. Yeah.

His name wasn't on the list
you gave us at the time.

Well, it's definitely
the same bloke.

You certain about that?
Mm-hmm.

Um, Davey something?

Yeah, yeah, that's him.

How can you be sure?

Um, look, I don't make
a habit of this, okay,

it's just that, um, 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.

( laughs )

Davey Jones?

That's gotta be it.

Yeah.

You know when you
interviewed him,

did he have a cat suit on

and a lightning strike
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,

wouldn't you remember his face?

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

I mean, I did some, Bernie
did some, I was, y'know...

Who's that? Your old partner?
Yeah, Bernie Rawlins.

Your grandson filling out
that Hammers shirt yet?

Well, he's getting there,
Bernie.

Hopefully playing for the
first team soon, be great.

Ha ha ha.
( laughs )

Thanks, mate.

So, anyway, this interview...

the guy's real name
is 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, too, Bernie.

And now you don't anymore?

Well, I don't know.

He had her blood
all over his shirt.

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

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 fifteen minutes?

Well, maybe he does,

but nonetheless, the Gov
wants us to look into it.

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

DI NATALIE CHANDLER: So what was
O'Doherty doing at the house?

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

He was probably on a recce.

Yeah, but nothing was taken.

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

It's certainly enough
to dig a little deeper.

I'll call Callaghan.

I think it's time
this case was re-opened.

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.

( Rings doorbell )

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 okay.

DS Brooks.

Mr. Bennet.

What can I do for you?

We've come to inform you
that, uh...

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
fourteen years

trying to put it all behind us.

My wife chooses to forget.

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

I'm very sorry, I know
it must be difficult...

Thank you, Detective.

Now I'd very much like you,

and everyone who works with you,

to go to hell.

I'd've 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, Gov.

Ron, have you got anything
to link Ricky Phelps

with the murder scene?

Not yet, Gov, 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 cellmates

about doing something
a little bit more impressive.

DS SAM CASEY:
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.

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,

and 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.

It's pretty obvious
why the blow to the head

was recorded as the cause
of death.

There was so much edema
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, yes.

The pathologist, he, um...

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 pinpoint

exactly what time
the bruising occurred,

whereas the color
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.

( Sighs )

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, Gov.

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, all right?

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

That was the last straw.

What about fourteen 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.

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 to the station.

I mean,
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 fifteen 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, all right?

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?

A confession to his brother
isn't gonna be enough.

I don't wanna make
the same mistake twice.

( Phone ringing )

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 fourteen years ago
a forensic pathologist

needed rather a large sample
to glean a DNA profile.

These days we can get one
from a microscopic sample.

So where are we going
with this, Lilly?

I've re-analyzed 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, her hair was still wet.

In fact,
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.

Well, one of the witnesses

claimed Phelps confessed
to strangling the victim.

And the pathologist who re-examined
the photos and samples

said it's a strong possibility.

Now even we didn't know

that strangulation could've
been the cause of death.

We always thought Amanda Bennet
died from that blow to the head.

Look, 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, but it may

harm your defense...
I never touched her.

If you do not mention
when questioned

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.

'Cause I was working
all the hours that God sent,

the Gov breathing down
my neck for a result.

And where were you?

You were propping up the
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.

I've still got mates here, Ron.

We have new forensics.

Which won't stand up in court
because they're maybes. Hmm?

What about a motive?
You got one of those?

Well, 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 'cause we messed
up in the first place.

It's 'cause
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.

A 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.
Someone they know.

( Thud )

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.

My 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, My Lord.

The conversation must still
be regarded as privileged.

My Lord, you cannot
possibly extend privilege

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

and completed
a correspondence course!

Mr. McDonald graduated
with honors.

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.

My Lord, what exactly does a
break-in at the witness's cafe

have to do
with this murder trial?

I'm getting there, My 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, Mr. Phelps,

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,

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.

Defense 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.

( Sighs )

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 led it.

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

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

Is it true you are
an alcoholic, DS Brooks?

Relevance, My Lord?

Mr. Nevins?

I'm trying to ascertain
DS Brooks mental state

at the time of the original
investigation, My 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, Bernie!

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 first AA
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.

Come on, what about dinner?
Huh? 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 is this gonna 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. I checked it. Yeah.

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

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 a... it was a...
a spider, or a scorpion...

Sam, come and have
a look at this.

He had this tattoo
on his forearm.

It was a... it was a...
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 Ricky 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
a positive I.D...

I can't do this 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, pedophiles,

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 I.D.,
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.

Ha. 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

fourteen 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 I.D. parade, has he?

No. We wouldn't having
this cozy 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 half-time
submission of no case to answer.

( Knock on door )

Jake?

Give me a minute.

Simon Bennet's
had a change of heart.

He's agreed to do the I.D.

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...

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 I.D.

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 fourteen 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
fourteen 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...

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% 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 dunno.

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 doorstop.

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

Fourteen 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've 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.
