'In the criminal justice system,
the People are represented

by two separate,
yet equally important, groups -

the police, who investigate crime,

and the Crown Prosecutors
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.'

Hey, Jess.
Hi.

How's it going?
Good.

Try the soup.

It's to die for.

He means last time he made it,
six people died.

Isn't that right, Reverend?

We've a bed at the shelter
if you want it.

You OK, mate?

Cheryl! Call the ambulance!

Now!

We're out here most nights,
so most kids who...sleep rough

are familiar faces.

But you'd never seen
this kid before? - No.

OK, well, we'll need to talk to
all the kids that were here earlier.

Reverend Crawford?

Yeah, er...sorry.

We do breakfast at the shelter
for the rough sleepers.

The kids usually enjoy that, too.

That poor boy.

He was dead
by the time you found him, sir.

There's nothing you could have done.

One of our uniformed guys
will look after you.

Multiple bruises and contusions.

Back of his head
was popped like a grape.

No wallet, no ID, no mobile.

So not a known local. What do you
reckon? Lad walked off the train

and got his first and last welcome
to London. He was what - 12, 13?

Someone should tell these kids

the streets aren't lined
with well wishers.

If the street's the alternative,

makes you wonder
what they're running from.

Well, he didn't come out of Euston
Station. Must be a local after all.

Well, that narrows it down to
659 square miles. Thank you.

So how does a young kid like that
get beaten to death

and no-one notice?
Let's start with the witnesses,

get down the Reverend's shelter.

Someone from down there might have
recognised the kid. Yeah.

Mind you, state you're in now,

they'll hose you down, give you
a meal. You're no prince charming!

First Superdrug we pass,
you're stopping for Listerine.

Do you always smell so minty?

Cheryl, do you recognise him, love?

I was too busy working last night
trying to keep warm.

Go on, have a think.
I bet nothing gets past you.

Do women ever fall for that?

I don't know him from Adam.

Cheryl, your tattoo -
is that a local gang?

Yeah. I got out a few months ago
when the Rev got me this job here.

Since when did you become an expert
on gangs?

I'm old bill, not prehistoric bill.

So where do you lot hang out?

I'm telling you, man,
I got an airtight alibi.

We haven't told you
when you need your alibi for yet.

That's your world out there.
This is ours in here. We don't mix!

Yeah?
Three pointer says you're wrong.

OK.

Shame, man. You got a photo?

He was found dead last night at
the back of Euston, head kicked in.

Don't need no photo, then.
You know who did it?

He weren't done by a gang, man.

That whole area round there -
that's the neutral zone.

No-one gets touched
in the neutral zone.

Law of the land, man. Youths gotta
use the train, too, don't they?

So bloody tribal.
One street against the next,

kids getting beaten for walking
through outlawed areas.

Rivalry between kids
ain't nothing new, Matt.

Can't tell me you and your mates
never organised a punch up

between your school and the next.
We never carried knives or guns.

Then kids haven't changed,
society has.

I hate these cases, Matt.

All that potential gone.

I'd say your male anon was 13.

Cracked ribs, punctured lung,
a ruptured spleen.

He hemorrhaged
from almost every major organ.

How long do you reckon he could have
walked around like that?

Slow rate of seepage.
An hour, two tops.

Any sign of sexual abuse?
No evidence of any sexual activity.

No fluids, no tearing of tissue.
Just normal blunt force wounds.

Probably from
steel toe-capped boots or DMs.

Any tattoos, gang markings?
No.

Somebody on the street
must know this kid.

There's no way he was
living on the street.

This boy was well looked after,
well fed.

His last meal was polenta
and roasted vegetables.

They don't serve polenta
and roasted veg in soup kitchens.

Where are the parents in all this?

If my kid had missing
for the best part of a day,

I'd be going spare!
You and me both.

We've sent his photo
to all the other constabularies,

just in case his parents
do a walk-in. There's been nothing.

How's the response
to the media appeal?

Lots of call, lots of sympathy,
but so far no leads.

And you've checked with
Missing Persons? Yep.

No-one matching his description,
no match with fingerprints or DNA.

Without his name, we've got nothing.
Nowhere to start.

We just got a hit
from the media appeal -

a Mrs Lee,
a teacher over in Kilburn.

Couldn't believe it
when I saw his face on the news.

Danny Jackson -
one of my after school regulars.

Hurry up, Chloe.

So I take it he wasn't exactly
teacher's pet?

Actually, he was a decent kid,
just shy.

He had dyslexia
and was on our mainstream scheme.

Do you have an address for Danny?
I've got an old one, six months ago.

His mother moved.
New boyfriend, according to Danny.

Did he ever talk about
his home life?

You mean did he show up
with bruises?

Kids are good at keeping
that sort of stuff from you. Yeah.

Baggy clothes'll hide a lot.

Yeah.

The boyfriend's a bookie.
Wimbledon dog track.

You're too late. Danny's mum
moved out three months ago.

Well, do you have an address?

From day one, Mandy and that kid of
hers were nothing but trouble.

Everything OK, babe?
Nothing to worry about, sweetheart.

I see you bounced right back.

Mandy left me. She ripped me off.

As for Danny? Bloody hell,
when he weren't drawing,

he was bouncing off the walls.

I reckon the reason Mandy got stoned
half the time was cos of him.

What about you, Stevie?

You ever need to make Danny
see sense?

I've never hit a kid.

Stevie.

Just give us Mandy's address
before she decides to move on again.

She's in rehab.

You see her...tell her
I want my plasma back.

That's her.

She's been clean
for nearly three months now.

Hello, Mandy.

Social Services said I wasn't fit
to be left alone with him.

So...

I wanted him back,
so I went into rehab.

He cried when they took him away.

I told him, "Danny,
you're going to a nice house.

You'll be fed and looked after
and...

..safe."

After everything
I'd put him through.

After...everything -

He didn't wanna go.

I want him back.

Please bring him back.
I want him back!

We'll get whoever did this.

A few months ago,

the PE teacher at Danny's new school
noticed some bruises.

Did Danny say how he got them?
Too scared.

Child abuse team
couldn't prove anything.

I'd have had a fiver on Boyfriend
Of The Year, Stevie Agnew, myself.

We took Danny into care.
Two days later, Mandy turns up.

Said she'd agree to do rehab,
anything to get him back.

This is what I always worried
the inside of my head looked like.

One person's mess is another
person's filing system. Thank you.

Was Danny placed with foster
parents? Phoebe Baxter.

She's the best we've got.

So why didn't she report Danny
missing on Friday night?

If I'd have told Social Services
that Danny was missing,

they'd have taken him away from me.
He was settling in so well.

So well you didn't know
where he was?

It's not prison. I don't tag 'em.

I've been doing this long enough to
understand the pattern.

They run away once -
parents' house...

hoping that mum and dad have
patched up their differences.

And after a day or two,
they come back again.

That's what I thought Danny
was up to.

I failed him.

So, just run us through what
happened on Friday evening, please.

After school we all sat down and
ate dinner together, like always,

and then Danny went off to
the cinema with Jono and Andy.

After the film, we stopped for some
chips on the Camden High Street.

So, tell us what happened then,
Jono.

Andy and I went in, got our order.

When we came out,
Danny was just, like, gone.

Anything behind me?
Yeah, your youth!

What about you, Andy? Danny say
anything to you before he left?

How was Danny that night, Andy?

He's a right chatterbox, your mate,
isn't he (?)

He won't talk to the old bill.
Last time he did, he got nicked!

We looked around for him.
We thought he might come back here.

So you think Danny was homesick,
Andy?

No way! That minger
his mum was shaggin' -

he used to hit Danny
for going in the back room

while he was watching ponies.
Danny told you Stevie hit him?

He showed us the bruises.

I was in all night watching telly
with Debbie. Danny never came round.

I know people like you, Stevie.

People who lie about hitting kids.

People who get a kick out of seeing
the bruises the next day.

I never hit him.
I took him in, fed him.

I put a roof over his head.
Why would I hit him?

Right now, SOCO are going through

all the CCTV footage
in your borough.

Uniform are searching your area.

Forensics are going through your
flat. Let me get this straight.

You're saying I killed Danny
cos his mum nicked my telly?

I never hit him, never.

Stevie.

Uniform...

..found this.

It's Danny's mobile phone.

Found it just across from your flat.

I didn't kill that boy!

Look, guv, the other kids
at Phoebe Baxter's -

they confirmed
that Stevie hit Danny!

He's got motive, he's got previous.
Hang on, hang on.

The kids said they only
saw the bruises, not the beatings.

Nobody - Nobody has proved
that Agnew was battering Danny.

And even if he was,
it doesn't mean he's a murderer.

Look at his body language.
He's sitting on his hands!

It's classic! He's hiding something!

What are you gonna charge him with -
bad posture?

One of you's right,
but tick-tock, boys.

Your custody clock is running down.

Ronnie, mate, I know it's him.

Matt, everything we've got
is circumstantial, right?

We have a phone that was found
in a communal area - Come on.

Listen. We have no witness.

And Agnew is gonna
deny he's done anything wrong

until he is blue in the face.

I've been that kid, you know?

Why don't we go and talk to Debbie
and check Stevie's alibi?

Stevie usually takes me out
on a Friday night

but I had a stinking cold,
so we stayed in.

I sat on the sofa with a duvet,
dosed up on cold medicine.

And where was Stevie?
In the back, watching telly.

Dog races on Sky.
Did he pop out at all?

He was in all night. I'm tellin' ya,
Stevie wouldn't harm a fly.

What's that on your arm?

Not what it looks like.

Well, it looks like
somebody's hit you.

He's got a temper. Who hasn't?

I can be really annoying.
I know I can.

So, Stevie was in all night,
you were in all night and that's it?

Anything else?

About 10:00, I heard someone
put the key in the lock.

I knew Stevie was in, so I went over
and opened the door...

and I heard some people
running away.

Well, do you know who it was?

I dunno.

I just caught a glimpse.
A glimpse?

It might not even have been Danny!

CCTV puts Stevie at the flat at 1930
on the evening Danny died.

He leaves at 8:00 in the morning.
He was at the flat all night.

Well, he might have
nipped out the back.

Back alley's covered by a camera.
He's in the clear.

All right.
We're back where we started.

Oh, ye of little faith.

That's Danny.

And that other kid's the chatterbox
from Phoebe Baxter's place.

Andy Sefton.

So that boy with the hood on
could be the other lad.

Jono Blake?
Yeah.

And that's exactly the same time

they said they were at the cinema
in Camden.

From this, they must have been among
the last people to see Danny alive.

Bring 'em in, first thing.

It weren't me.

You're on CCTV, Jono...

standing next to Danny
just before he died.

How do you know it's me?
If it wasn't you,

it was your body double.
You were wearing a hoody.

So you can't see my face.

Now, look, Jono,
let's keep this simple.

What happened after you ran away
from Stevie's flat?

I told ya. The three of us
went to the pictures,

then we went to the chippy.
And what film did you see?

I can't remember. I fell asleep.

It was boring, just like this place.

Jono, mate,
we checked the cinema's CCTV.

You weren't there.

You've gotta stop lying.

Jono...

you miss Danny?
What?

You shared a room with him.
So what do you think

when you look and see an empty bed?
Miss him? Course I do.

We were mates.
How does that make you feel?

Wish he was still here.

I bet you do.

I bet you used to look out for each
other an' all, eh? Course we did.

That's why I reckon that's
gotta make you pretty angry

at the person who did this.

Jono...

tell us what happened.

You think you're so clever,
don't you?

You tell me.

Grub's up.

Andy here's been giving me
the silent treatment.

Oh. It's probably cos he's hungry.

Don't look at 'em like that.
They're not poison.

I mean, they were made in our
canteen but nobody's died yet.

We don't want you to say anything
you're not comfortable with, Andy.

God knows I've drummed it
into my own boys -

about the same age as you, actually.

I've said, "If ever you get
in trouble with the police,

don't sit there and make things up."

That's the mistake everybody makes.

They forget police
have got forensics,

DNA, CCTV.

They'll know if you're lying.

So, best thing is...

..tell the truth.

Everything'll sort itself out.

And there's another big reason why
you should tell us the truth, Andy.

For Danny.

He's not here
to tell us what happened.

As Danny's mate,
don't you think you owe him that?

What about Jono?

He's my mate, too.

What if he knows I told you?

We'll look after you.

You don't have to keep quiet
any longer, Andy.

Danny wanted some money so he and
his mum could get a flat together.

He said Stevie had a load of
music gear we could flog.

When we heard someone in the flat,
we ran.

One minute, we're legging it
and the next,

Jono just loses it.

Pushes Danny over, blames him
for people being in the flat.

He started smashing his face in...

stamping on it.

It was like he was
trying to bust him open.

Never seen nothin' like it before
in my life.

Jono went mental.

So, our prime suspect
is a 13-year-old kid

whose voice ain't even broken yet.

I dunno. I need a minute to get
my head around this. Unbelievable.

Well, do you believe Andy's story?

Little kid like Jono
does that to his mate?

The facts all fit
and it's definitely possible.

I tell you what, if he did do it,
the case could go nuclear.

The press'll be all over him
like a rash. PHONE RINGING

CPS. Hello, Alesha.

Are we done now? Can I go?

Jonathan Blake, we're charging you
with the murder of Daniel Jackson.

I'm gonna need summaries

of all murder or manslaughter cases
from the last 30 years,

where the killer was under 16 -
Aw.

Still? Bless.

Play nicely, Bea.
Jono Blake is innocent.

He's just a scared little kid who's
been stitched up by his mate...

and you.
He's on CCTV with Danny

minutes before the murder.
His DNA's all over Danny's body

and his DMs were covered in blood
and human matter.

Yeah, well, obviously he was there

but Andy Sefton is bigger, older
and stronger. That's your defense -

Andy did it?

Bea, that's rubbish.

The facts don't fit. It'll take me
two minutes to discredit it.

Yeah? Well, when the jury
look at big old Andy

next to scared, little Jono...

..we'll see who they believe.

Seriously, that's your case?

I know her. She's up to something.
That defense is way too simple.

Just because you two
used to do the headboard shuffle

doesn't mean you have any insight
into how she runs defenses nowadays.

What, you and her?
It was a long time ago.

Thanks for that, George.
Stop worrying about her

and ensure your case
is unassailable.

Youth crime is our
most sensitive issue,

so no cock ups, no surprises.
Triple check every fact.

Go back to the families -
biological parents, foster parents.

Comprehensive character profile
of Jono Blake.

That way,
Bea can't spring any traps.

OK.

Oh, wrong.

Come on, son.

Ooh, pain au chocolat!

How did you know my weakness
for the French?

Jono Blake's Social Services file
says he was suspended from school.

Do you know why?
The teacher said there was an altercation.

Did Jono start this altercation?
Half the kids said he did,

half said he didn't.
This is a bribe, isn't it?

Can you get statements
from all the kids? All of 'em?!

You are taking the Michael!
We need every angle covered.

Oi.

How come he gets to have breakfast
with you?

Leave it to me, sweetheart.
I'm your man.

Leave what? What's he doing for you?

You come in late, you miss things.

Ooh ah, chocolat
Hey, do you want a coffee?

I already told the police

Jono ain't been my problem
for a long time now.

Tell me about his dad.

Serving life in Ashbridge
with his brother.

Last time he came out, he swore
blind he was going straight.

More fool me, eh?

Was Jono ever violent at home?
He's a boy.

They're all little thugs,
as far as I can see.

Take a look round here.
They're all the same.

Why was he taken away from you?
I've been through this.

I want to hear it from you,
so I've got all the facts.

I left him alone - once.
Overnight?

I went for a drink
with a guy after work.

One thing led to another.
Next thing I know, it was morning.

Jono was fine,
nothing had happened,

but Social Services love
sticking their noses in, don't they?

Sounds like you and Jono
have had a rough time.

What would you know
about a rough time?

I grew up
around the corner from here.

Whatever.

Jono's mum left him alone
more than once.

He's petrified
of being left on his own.

That's why he's always joking
and mucking about.

He thinks if you like him,
you might stay around.

And how did Jono get on with Danny?
Best mates, practically inseparable.

Two teenage boys sharing a room?
They must have fought a bit.

Spent a day and a half
sizing each other up.

After that, I don't remember
a cross word between them.

They were closer than brothers.

So you never saw Jono being violent
towards Danny, or anyone else?

It's not that simple.
If he'd had once decent role model,

things might have been different.
He had you.

And he was changing.
Kids are work in progress.

I know bad kids.
Jono's not one of them.

He murdered Danny, Mrs Baxter.

We have a duty
to prosecute Danny's killer.

Whose duty is it to speak for Jono?

They'll demonise him, lock him away.
Out of sight, out of mind.

If we give up on our kids,
it's a matter of time

before they give up on themselves.

Phoebe Baxter and Jono's mum could
be talking about two different boys.

Their opinions are that polarised.
Doesn't matter. We deal in evidence,

the facts of this matter.

I feel a conscience pricking.

Jono's foster mum,
the person who knows him best,

says he shouldn't be abandoned.

She feels that
Jono's a victim, too.

Really?

Cos I've just watched
the mobile phone footage

of Jono's playground attack
on a classmate.

Jono wasn't the victim that day.

He's 13. He goes into the
prison system, he's lost for life.

Then he shouldn't have
committed murder.

Staunch your bleeding heart, Alesha.
The victim is in the mortuary.

We're Crown Prosecution,
not Crown empathy.

A line has to be drawn
on youth crime and we're drawing it.

Is that what you think?

I think Danny's mother needs us
to provide justice for her son.

All persons
who have anything to do

with my Lords, the Queen's Justices
of the Central Criminal Court,

draw near...
At least Judge Anderson agreed to hear the trial in private

and keep the public
and the press out.

God save the Queen.

Case of Crown
and Jonathan Blake.

Imagine being in that dock
when you were 13.

I tried to stop him
but he just lost it.

It was like he was someone else.

Jono kept kicking Danny
over and over.

I legged it cos...

Cos I was scared.

Out of the three of you, Andy,
who's the tallest?

I am.
And what weight are you?

About ten or 11 stone.

So would you say that you could
beat Danny and Jono in a fight?

I suppose.

No further questions.

Is that it?

That's it.

My mum was out
when Social Services took me away.

And when they took you,
how did that make you feel?

Sad, angry.

Then I went to Miss B's. She looked
after me, things were all right.

No further questions.

Do you start a lot of fights, Jono?

No.

Do you remember Martin Taggart?

Do you remember Martin Taggart,
Jono?

Yeah, I went to school with him.
You fought with Martin.

He started it.
But you were fully aware

that you were causing him injury.
So? He shouldn't have started it!

Isn't it true that no charges
were pressed

because your father
intimidated Martin's parents?

What's that gotta do with me?
That fight was nothing. Nothing?

That's how you'd describe it?

This mobile phone footage was filmed
by a child in the playground.

Do you still think that was nothing,
Jono?

It was the easiest prosecution
I've ever had to make.

She didn't raise a single objection.
You should be delighted.

McArdle's asked for the jury
to be discharged.

She's changed the basis of her plea.

She's put in an application?
For a re-trial.

The new defense she's running
is that Jono's not guilty

by reason of mental defect.
What?!

She'll never make it home
on an insanity defense.

She's not saying he's insane.

She's running
'non-insane automatism' -

an involuntary act committed while
not conscious of actions taken.

Most of Jono's blood relatives
are in prison. Her defense

is that Jono is genetically
predisposed to violent behaviour.

Oh, she can't run that!
It's outrageous.

We'd have every criminal
in the country making the same case.

What's she playing at?!
"Don't blame me, blame my genes."

It's bold, I'll give her that.

But let's not panic. No sane judge
would let that get beyond a hearing.

So who did we draw?
Judge DiMarco.

God, let's panic.

For over 100 years now,
scientists have seen a relationship

between genetics
and human behaviour.

My Lord,
relevance to Crown and Blake?

Researchers in Scandinavia
have identified a defective gene

that produces an excess of MAOA -

monoamine oxidase.
JUDGE: Mono what, Miss McArdle?

Break it down
for the luddite in front of you.

You do yourself a terrible
disservice, my Lord. Oh, please.

Monoamine oxidase is an enzyme
that destroys serotonin,

which, as you know,
regulates anger and aggression.

The defective gene responsible
for producing this enzyme

is commonly referred to as
the 'Warrior' gene.

OK, and this has what to do with
non-insane automatism?

Jono has this defective gene.
He couldn't control himself

any more than my learned friend
here could wish himself younger.

You've had him tested?

Conclusions from the Scandinavian
panel of experts

where they confirm
Jono has the warrior gene.

My Lord, if this becomes precedent,

we might as well just open the gates
of every prison in the land.

With respect, that's not the issue.

We're establishing the validity
of putting this before jury.

Precedent!

You name me one court
that has accepted this defense.

Jerry Robertson
is on death row in Arizona.

He was given up for adoption
as an infant.

He has not seen and has not had any
contact with his biological father

since that date. His biological
father is also on death row.

Oh, please!
Cases pending Supreme Court ruling.

My Lord, science evolves.
So, too, must the law.

My Lord, I will fill the court
with experts who will refute this.

Call your experts, Mr Steel.

We'll see who the jury believes.

You know, for a second in there, I
thought your head was gonna explode.

Bloody nerve!
You wasted all that public money,

made a mockery of the system.
You're just miffed

I got the better of you.
Don't take it personally,

I do this to everyone.
What is this?

Are you grabbing a chance
to make headlines? No.

I'm trying to give my client
the best defense.

I needed time to get
the legal precedent, test results

and then assess the scientific data.
So, yes, I used the system -

something you do every day.

And what if you'd run out of time?
Jono could have been sent down.

Do you really think
I would have let that happen?

What are you so scared of, James?

Why would you want to
suppress evidence?

Evidence knows no morality.
We present it and a jury decides.

It's unproven!
The sample group is too small.

It could just push the legal system
off a cliff!

Well, make that argument in court.

The law has survived DNA samples,
CCTV, fingerprints.

I think it will survive this.

And what about Jono Blake?

When this becomes public,
the media will tear him to shreds.

I'm doing this for him.
He'll be fine.

This is the English legal system
on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

George, what if McArdle is right?

What if this Warrior gene theory
has substance?

There was a time when no court
accepted provocation

as defense to murder.
Maybe this is one of those moments

when the law plays catch up
with science.

You make sure she's not right.
I want you demolishing her

like a bulldozer.
This Warrior gene becomes precedent,

then tens of thousands of cases
will have to be retried.

No criminal will be held responsible
or accountable for anything.

Notice of appeal. Applications
in the event McArdle wins.

We'll be drowning in paperwork
by the end of the day.

You should be happy. You got what
you wanted - Jono has an excuse.

Everyone's a victim now.

I'll be at my desk.

See, that's seven - No, eight.
Eight messages from -

No, that'll be number nine -
messages from the DPP.

He'll be expecting me to tell him
the legal floodgates will not open,

this will never become precedent
because I have my best on it

and he will demolish the Defense.

So I expect you to go in there
and to do just that, James.

Tell me why you attacked Danny,
Jono.

I dunno.

He was driving me mental.

Your eyes lit up when I said that.

Go on, write it down - mental.
Do you know how to spell it?

Jono, do you think your attack on
Daniel Jackson was right or wrong?

What sort of a stupid question
is that?

Of course it was wrong.

I killed him.

He's aware of his actions and the
consequences that follow from them.

So he's not insane of schizophrenic?

Definitely not.

Tell me, honestly...

do you think there's any validity
to this Warrior gene syndrome?

Can someone be born bad?

Genes are just one element
of a larger picture.

And all they give us
is a predisposition.

We still make
our own behavioural choices.

Yes or no -
is he responsible for what he did?

From everything I've seen...

..yes.
Thank you.

Though I'm not sure

how Jono will cope
with the ordeal of a second trial,

especially with
all this public interest now.

A few years ago, researchers in
Scandanavia found a mutated gene

linked to a violent family of
rapists and arsonists

living in the Netherlands.
And could this Warrior gene

compromise a person's sense of
right and wrong?

From the evidence I've seen,
I don't believe so.

Thank you, Doctor.
No further questions.

Doctor...doesn't recent research

suggest that obesity
and sporting ability

are passed genetically from parents
to their children?

It does, yes.
So, by logical extension,

we might pass our criminal behaviour
to our children?

The data from the Warrior gene tests
are not random enough

to form scientific conclusions.

Their sample bases are too small.

They didn't test enough people?
Exactly.

So you're saying that there's a...

problem with the collection
of the data but not the theory?

Are you proud?

Are you proud of what you're doing,
of what you're saying in there?

Of all these lies and arguments
and legal bullshit?!

My Danny never hurt anybody!

That monster in there
is not the victim!

Go on.
You're disgusting.

Get off!

I'm fine.

Thank you.

From the day he was born,
we knew he was different.

There was something odd about him.

We just didn't know what it was.
Not till now.

Well, you know your son
better than anyone, Tracy.

Do you agree with
the Warrior gene theory?

You saw what he did to that kid.
It makes sense.

Thank you.

Did you discipline your son,
Mrs Blake?

Jack hit him all the time. It didn't
make any different, though -

he never did what he was told.

How about love -
showing him some affection?

Did you ever try that?
Course I did.

I used to think it was my fault.

What do you mean?
I wasn't a good enough mum!

That I didn't deserve a kid!

But that was
before all this gene stuff.

Now I know there was
nothing I could have done.

It wouldn't have made
any difference.

Papers are right.

He's a monster.

Is that what you really think
about your own son?

You heard what they're saying
about him - his genes are rotten.

He's wrong.

How many months' pregnant are you?
Seven.

So, based on your belief in genes,
we should take that baby

from your arms the second it's born
and lock it up? No!

Surely genetics dictates your
next child will be a monster, too?

It'll be different this time.

I won't make the same mistakes
I made with him.

No further questions.

Snap.

Are we still talking?

Oh, come on.

I'm running a valid defense
for Jono.

You'd have done exactly the same
back in your defense days.

I gave up defense
cos I couldn't sleep at night.

Yeah, I remember.

Do you sleep better now?

Mostly.

Can't believe you still come here.

Creature of habit.

How's Ethan?
He's er...

with his mum in Scotland.

It's for the best.

Mostly.

Jono wants to meet with you.

I tried my best,
I advised him against it.

9:00 tomorrow, my office.

Thank you...for not making that
difficult for me.

This isn't a holiday home, you know.
You'll be going in for years.

My genes are messed up.

I am trying to keep you
out of prison.

Why?

You can't fix my genes,
sat in court.

I heard everything my mum
had to say. I'm a monster.

Jono, no, you're not.
I am.

I was born like that.

I'm a mistake.
That's not what this is all about.

I killed Danny.

He was my mate.

Jono.

Why did you ask to meet us?

I wanna go to prison.

It's where I belong.

We help destroy him.
Now he believes he's worthless.

Is Danny dead?

Yes.

Did Jono kill him?

Yes.

Has justice been served?

Yes.

The law's a blunt instrument
but it's all we have.

So, yes,

accept the plea.

Jono, do you understand the charge
to which you're pleading guilty?

Yeah.

Murder.

Can you tell us in your own words

what happened on the night
of Danny's death?

I got in a fight with him.

When he went to the ground,
I kicked him over and over.

I killed him.

Why did you kill him, Jono?
He made me mad.

And you understand what it means,
changing your plea to guilty?

Please.

It was a defense.

I never thought for one second
he'd actually believe it.

Come for the last laugh?

Dr Elizabeth Rowels.

She's prepared to work with you.

She can help you.

I'm a murderer.
I was always gonna be like this.

No.

None of us are...

defined by our genes.

I am. I'm evil.

That's erm...

That's too easy, because...

..it means that nobody else
has to take responsibility.

You're too young to be a lost cause.

We can still help you,
if you let us.

Please.
