CAR HORN TOOTS

I ran Marcus Calderwood
off the road.

But you know that.

You don't know the whole story,
though. Why did you have

such animosity towards him?

I attended a crash.
Car T-boned, went under a lorry.

Please, please, where's an
ambulance? Stay with me, Daniella!

I kept on telling her
she was all right.

But she wasn't. She was only on
that road because of them.

I will not apologise
for the inconvenience caused

to a privileged few.

It can't be Marcus's bike.
Well, why not?

It's got both pedals, look.

Who's that? Marcus's neighbour.

We had common interests,
but murder was not one of them.

I cannot believe a man like Justin
would do anything that would

jeopardise his home and family life.

Who's behind this blog?

It's anonymous
and almost certainly encrypted.

They're obviously getting
their information from somewhere.

We need to tread carefully
with the blog.

The one thing I do know is that
Whitley knew Justin had issues.

He'd been reported by colleagues
and he did nothing.

He was always gambling - crazy bets.

I wanted us
to have a family together.

I lost it. I lost my baby, OK?

I don't believe that you losing
your baby had no impact on you,

given the circumstances.

There's a tiny chance...

A cop playing the mental health
card, last minute? No chance.

Apparently, your sister's decided
to eliminate all negative

forces from her life,
and you're top of the list.

Yeah, you say you don't need me
while, at the same time,

threatening me with this rubbish!

Classic gaslighting.

Mum, use your influence to stop her.

I am not sure that
I have any power, really.

How could you?! How could you even
think about leaving me after Mum?

Mani, stop!

Argh! Mani, Mani,
please, please come!

No, wait!

We have to see the judge.
He's changing his plea.

Yes! Good. God! To manslaughter by
reason of diminished responsibility.

What? No. No way. He's a murderer.

This is a cynical manoeuvre
by the defendant in the face

of Sandra Vodanovic's evidence.

We have new evidence -
that the police knew

that Justin was vulnerable
and failed to act

after several
missed psychiatric appraisals.

Well, that is certainly significant.

There is simply not enough time
to obtain the necessary

psychiatric reports without
dismissing the jury

and starting the whole thing again.

It is possible to do,

if we send
the jury home for two weeks.

Your dad's out at the minute.

Why do you think I came now?

Thanks for keeping an eye on him.

Of course.

Mum gave him this.

Right.

I mean, she brought it
back from Tel Aviv once -
kind of a joke for him.

Yeah, your dad loves
that sort of thing.

You want a coffee?

He feels terrible, you know.

I know. He said.

The pain of my mum
will never go away.

I'll have it all my life.

I can only imagine.

And after everything we've
been through together,

after holding on

and keeping each other going...

..he was just going to do
the same thing to me again.

But, you know,
we don't know what he was thinking.

Anyway, he says it wasn't anything

other than a bit of
online curiosity.

He was searching how...
how to kill himself.

Without pain.
How about top-ten yoga retreats

or a Substack about the gender wars?

Fair play. Yeah.
I'd probably make for the exit, too.

But, still... I know.

And I get it.

He gets it, too.

Don't punish him
or yourself, though.

He is suffering, Mani.

It wasn't like I thought he was

going to do it there and then.

The fact that I could meant it was
probably less likely that I would.

Yeah, I understand that. Yeah. Yeah.

Even cheered me up a little bit.

It wasn't until I almost got
decapitated by a flying

laptop - which would have been
funny under the circumstances.

Well, suicidal ideation
is not funny.

And neither is the damage to
a precious relationship.

You love your son.

Yeah.
HE SOBS

I do.

Very much.

Oh!

Ah. And he loves you.

Remember that - when you're being
hard on yourself, Sam. Yes?

Yeah.

He loves you
and you are deserving of his love.

Oh, come on!

You know that benzodiazepines
can sometimes

trigger these kind of episodes?

I'm sick of them.

I want to get off 'em.

Yeah, I think we should
try a different

anti-anxiety medication
that might make you

a wee bit drowsier at night.

So when does the trial start again?

Tomorrow.

It's the battle of the shrinks.

But the jury could still find
him guilty of murder, right?

Yeah. Yeah. The murder charge
is still on the indictment,

er, because the prosecution haven't
accepted our manslaughter plea.

It's, er, whether or not
he gets a life sentence.

I must confess to being
obsessed with this trial.

And at least there is a greater
awareness of mental health

these days. Oh, my God, yeah.
It's all anyone's talking about.

Oh.

Wendy will, er,
send an invoice to your email.

Thank you.

Just leave it there.

Hi, I wonder if you can help me?

No way!

Er... Felix motherfucking Owusu,
man!

Oh! So you're here for a bike,
then, bro?

Smart manoeuvres,
but you knew that, right?

Now, let's see what
I can do for you.

I'm going with a hybrid, am I right?

Not exactly, no.

I'm trying to find out about

a purchase of some bike pedals
last October.

I wasn't working here then, bro.
Ah. But I can ask Big Tom.

Yeah. That would be great. Yeah?

Right, wait there, bro.

Felix motherfucking Owusu?
HE LAUGHS

I'm going to get some personalised
stationery made up.

But Big Tom knew Norris?

Yeah, they had customer
details of services carried out

on his mountain bikes.

And there were stock references
relating to the sale of a set

of pedals matching those on the bike
they found in the lake.

A purchase made the day
after the hit-and-run.

Credit card details
would be too good?

It would. Cash purchase.

CCTV footage?

Uh-uh. Wiped every week.

So you have no evidence

as to who purchased these pedals?

Well, it definitely
wasn't Patrick Norris.

So, then?

It was a woman.

And he remembers her
as having an accent.

Maybe Spanish or Italian.

The wife.

Matched the description.

He's 90% certain.

OK, so, number one,
Justin's pleading guilty

to actually doing it.
Doesn't mean he did it alone.

But who does that help?

Defence are claiming
a moment of madness,

and an accomplice suggests planning.

And the prosecution won't want to
muddy the water - especially as

the evidence probably isn't strong
enough to charge anybody else.

Which is why I'm going to make the
blog a bit more visible and take

our evidence outside court as soon
as the trial restarts tomorrow.

I don't think that's a
very good idea, Felix.

Contempt of court,
contempt of court -

you're like a bloody parrot, Helen.

You want the mainstream press
to pick up on this, don't you?

You want the contempt of court
to become the story.

More than one way to skin a cat.

Yeah, but I'll get skinned as well.

They already know you
have inside information.
It's just a matter of time.

I'd never divulge a source.

If you do this,
they will certainly find out.

You're jeopardising a massive trial.

It was never my intention...
There's a bigger picture.

Bigger picture, bigger picture - you
sound like a bloody parrot, Felix.

That doesn't mean there
isn't a bigger picture.

I urge you not to do this.

Name? Sam Malik. Thank you.

You look like shit, mate.

Yeah.

I'm turning into you.
SAM LAUGHS

Sleep's messed up as well,
which is a first for Justin.

State of us, eh?

I'm still just Premium Economy
looking at you through the curtain.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
In every sense, Justin.

How'd it go with
the prosecution's psychiatrist?

As you'd expect. They're not
paid to find in my favour.

No.

Justin, er...

..do you want to tell me something -

about Norris?

Oh, do I want to tell you
something about Norris?

Yeah. Yeah.

Felix Owusu's consistently
alleged his involvement.

I know. Like,
change the record, Felix!

Yeah, I bet they do.
He dug up footage of Marcus at

a cycle protest.

And, er, the stills show the pedals
that match the one that the police

found. Yeah, and lost. Right.

But they don't match
the pedals on the bike in the lake.

Maybe Marcus changed them.

You know what cyclists are like -

always fiddling with their kit.

What happened with the bike, Justin?

The prosecution will go
hard on premeditation
and evidence tampering.

I didn't notice the pedals
when I picked it up. When you
threw it in the decoy pond?

Oh.

What?

Forget pedals.

Forget Norris.

My mind wasn't right.

And that's all that matters now.

Bullshit! He planned it, for a
start, and he moved the body.

So it was not an impulsive act.

Most importantly, we've never
denied that Justin was affected

by the Daniella Fielding incident.
In fact, it's critical to our case.

And his behaviour, especially with
regards to disposal of evidence,

shows that he was
fully in control of his actions.

I think the jury will see this
for exactly what it is -

a blatant attempt to move
the goalposts after he was shown

to have manipulated his partner
to dispose of evidence.

Playing the mental health card.

I'm a little uncomfortable with
that phrase, even in the context...
Sure, got it.

I'm not going to say it,
obviously. But, in the end,

that is what the jury have to think.

Get out of town, you
vicious little chancer,

you're not going to reduce
your sentence that easily.

And in the end, it also still
helps that he's a cop.

Because - and apologies if this
upsets anybody's sensibilities -

but they are literally
the last people to whom

anybody is going to extend
the benefit of the doubt.

Well, I'm certainly not going to
disagree with that.

The public are with us,
as will be the jury.

It's got to be murder.

There has to be punishment.

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

As you can see behind me,
there is a heavy police presence.

CROWD CONTINUE CHANTING

Hello. What's, er...

What's going on here? We've brought
the evidence to the court.

Oh. I see that's, er...
Yeah, contempt of court.

I know. I'm prepared to
face the consequences.

Aha. Look, you know he's involved.

Well, he's not my client, so...

He's at the very least
an accomplice.

I have evidence his wife bought
the pedals that were fitted to
the bike after the collision.

Well, you should definitely present
that evidence to the police.

So they can ignore it like
all the other evidence?

OK, well, keep up the
good work, everyone.

Brilliant. Yeah,
you're such a cynic!

Hey. Hey. I'm my own worst critic,

but I'm definitely not a cynic.
See, you, the CPS,

you're all the same in the end -

two sides of the same coin.

None of you care about the truth.

Hear that?
Two sides of the same coin.

Shut up, I'm a platinum card.

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

We are here protesting
the refusal of the British state

to properly investigate
the death of a martyr

trying to save us from man-made
extinction and genocide!

Keep it short, keep it serious.
I've been in court before, you know.

Under no circumstances
be facetious or flip.

Don't overcook it. No waterworks
or pretending to throw up.

How about let Justin be Justin?

Oh, so you're saying you
want a whole-life tariff?

Malik rides again!
HE IMITATES GUNFIRE

Oh!

Felix Owusu revealed evidence today

about Norris outside the court.

He'll be telling the police as well.

Saying what? That his wife may have
helped to dispose of the bike.

That was Elena, who you
were...involved with.

When you're pleading not guilty,
Norris was a card in our back

pocket as an alternative suspect.

Steer clear of the
gambling metaphors.

But he might benefit
the prosecution.

If they can show that you planned
it with the help of others,

our new plea's blown
out of the water.

They'll never get him.

That's the whole point
of men like Norris.

There's only one person who
could really bring him down.

And that could never happen.

Because that person would
implicate himself?

That isn't the main reason,
actually.

What's the main reason?

Right. It's time.

Should we be letting him anywhere
near the witness box?

He's a performance artist,

an attention seeker,

and you've seen for yourself
how he can shift shapes
in the blink of an eye.

It's a risk. Yeah.

Yeah, and he's definitely
becoming more...

..like he's watching himself
and laughing at it all.

Well, he won't be laughing
at a 30-year tariff,

if the judge takes against him.

Members of the jury,

I would like to thank
you for your patience

and apologise for the delay
in starting this morning.

I urge you once again to ignore
anything you might come across

outside this court. All that matters
is the evidence you hear from

the defence and the prosecution

and the witnesses that
they see fit to call.

I would also like to thank you for
your patience while the necessary

psychiatric reports were prepared
in relation to the defendant.

You will shortly hear that evidence
presented to you by the defence

and the prosecution.

The circumstances have changed,

but your job has not.

The defendant has pleaded
guilty to manslaughter,

but the prosecution have not
accepted this plea

and, therefore,
there remains a charge of murder
for you to decide upon.

OK, Ms Vodanovic.

I want to take you back to your time
living with Mr Mitchell

and his state of mind
following the accident he attended.

It was very bad.

I want to focus on the moment
when you told him you were pregnant.

Yes.

How did he respond?

He said we should go out.

I thought he meant to
a restaurant or something.

You didn't go to a restaurant?

No. Where did you go?

He drove down the motorway.

Did he stick to the speed limit?

No. He was doing over 100mph,
at some points.

I... I begged him to slow down.

How did you feel?

Frightened.

I thought we were all going to die.

Do you recall where you were,
at this point?

He drove to the spot where
the lady had died.

He showed me where it had happened.

And then what?

And then we drove home.

And he said sorry.

And was this the Mr Mitchell
you knew before the traffic

accident he attended?

No.

Definitely not.

Everything changed with that.

"I do solemnly,
sincerely and truly declare

"and affirm that the evidence
I shall give shall be the truth,

"the whole truth
and nothing but the truth."

Mr Mitchell.

On the day of the 8th of October
of last year, did you

leave your home with the intention
of murdering Marcus Calderwood?

No.

How did you come to
encounter him that day?

I went to his home.

Why?

So I had seen another SCG
protest on TV which had stopped

an ambulance reaching a hospital.

How did that make you feel?

Upset. Angry.

Just rewinding for a second -

to when you absented yourself
from the trip to the races with

your friends - and you posted
an emoji of a giraffe.

Who did that refer to?

PC Kyle Jones.

Because giraffes have long,
dark tongues and he was
a management arse-licker.

Not Mr Calderwood? No.

I'd not even seen the news
when I posted that.

Was there anything else
going on in your life at that time?

My partner had just lost our baby.

I was feeling
pretty on edge about everything.

OK.

And why did you go to
Mr Calderwood's house?

I wanted him to take
responsibility for his actions.

How did you imagine that happening?

I wasn't thinking clearly.

I just couldn't understand how
they could keep doing this -

hurting innocent people.

And how did Mr Calderwood
respond to your visit?

I'll be reporting you again for
this harassment, PC Mitchell.

Yeah. Tell me about the comparative
privilege of having a crank
shaft through your gut?

Leave me alone. She wouldn't have
died if it hadn't been for you.

She wouldn't have died
if she'd paid attention to the road.

Right. No, we're not done.

You don't get to just ride off!

And you followed him?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't really know.

I was still so angry.

What was your intention?

I can't remember.

I didn't want to kill him.

I was angry that he wouldn't listen
and I wanted him to understand

what I'd seen.

It was so frustrating -
he wouldn't listen and didn't care.

And at what point exactly did you
choose to hit him with your car?

I don't remember choosing.

The finger was the spark, really.

It summed up his attitude to
everything.
CAR HORN TOOTS

I kept hearing her voice in my head,

begging me not to let her die.

And...and his voice saying
it was all her fault.

And something just snapped.

I closed my eyes and...

..I must have jammed down on the gas
and smashed into him.

Following the collision,
did you move Mr Calderwood?

No.

Did you try to hide him from view?

No. I thought he was dead.

I was worried somebody would come,
so I picked up the bike

and the helmet and
put them in my car.

And I... I drove off.

Let me be very clear...

..when you were pursuing
Mr Calderwood, was there any point

when you formed the intention
to cause him serious harm?

Not when I was going after him.

I genuinely can't remember
the seconds before I hit him.

MURMURING IN COURT

Do you recall, Mr Mitchell,
telling PC Becky Hollis that

a hit-and-run would be the best way
to murder somebody?

No.

But I might have done.

They are notoriously difficult.

Now, you say that you
did not move Mr Calderwood

after the impact with him.

I didn't. And yet we have heard

that the nature of his injuries mean

that it would have been
quite impossible for him

to move himself
down the verge and out of sight.

But that's one opinion, though.

And how am I supposed
to prove it wasn't me?

Are you saying it was somebody else?
No, I'm saying
I can't prove a negative.

As a police officer, you know that
moving or disposing of a body

is an aggravating
factor in a murder.

Yeah. Did you move Mr Calderwood
because you wanted him to suffer?

Please rephrase that.

The defendant has already said
that he did not move Mr Calderwood.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Was it ever your
intention to make Mr Calderwood

suffer in the same
way as Daniella Fielding?

No. In spite of you
having previously said

he might end up
dying by the side of the road.

I said I'd hate for that to happen.

"Nice little bike you've got there,
hate for anything to happen to it."

Mr Holmes.

So, you drive to the pond where you
dispose of the bike and helmet?

Yeah. Where is the helmet camera,
which was not found with the rest?

As far as I knew,
it was in the pond as well.

Why didn't they find it, then?

I can't explain that.

There's rather a lot you
can't explain, isn't there?

I wouldn't say a lot.
What would you say?

I'd say I've seen things
that you can only imagine.

But I am truly sorry for
everything that happened.

For the people that I hurt.

Well, let's establish the facts
before we consider your remorse.

Mr Calderwood has security cameras
on the front of his property.

They did not pick up your encounter
on the day of the collision.

Can you explain that?

We were probably
out of range of them.

Or it never took place.

You have invented this encounter

because you know that,
premeditation,

of which we have ample evidence,
undermines your attempt

to present it as a
sudden mental lapse.

No. It happened. You ambushed
Mr Calderwood on the road,

knowing his movements from
previous stalking of him.

There was no arrogant finger
that triggered you.

He was probably terrified

and fleeing for his life.

You deliberately and callously

concealed his body from view,

gambling that nobody would
discover him before his death.

You then put into motion
a pre-prepared plan to conceal

the damage to your car
by manipulating a partner that

you had already broken
through your abusive

and your controlling behaviour.

That's the truth, isn't it,
Mr Mitchell?

Nope. You only changed your
plea when it was obvious

that Ms Vodanovic's evidence
had destroyed your cover-up.

That's the truth, isn't it? No.

So Justin Mitchell - mad or bad?

Do you really want me
to answer that?

There's a lot riding on it. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm well aware.

I get murder, we're looking
at a lot of years piled on.

Being a cop.

Netting out the mitigation
for acknowledged mental health

issues, I'd say 25
is your best hope -

if the judge is lenient.

Right.

And there's no light at the end
of the tunnel there.

What would you consider to be
light at the end of the tunnel?

If I get manslaughter - ten, max.

I'd still be younger
than you are now.

A mere baby, then?

But 25 or more on segregation...

..I think then I'd have to
carefully explore my options.

All my options.

Don't say that.

Don't say it.

So you've questioned Felix Owusu?
What's he saying?

Repeated the stuff
from outside court.

He has a witness who
can ID Elena Norris

buying a set of pedals matching
the ones found on the bike

the day after the attack.
But at the most, though, that's
perverting the course of justice.

Yeah, and it's not him, either.

What if Norris was involved in
some way? Yeah. How, though?

I'm not buying the whole big-oil
political assassination.

OK, but if the defence are running
with manslaughter diminished

and we can show that Justin had
a sidekick who also helped

tamper with evidence,

that would show the
whole thing was planned.

Time for another little chat
with the Norrises, I think.

That Owusu geezer
wants to be a martyr.

Yeah, let's all just break the laws
we disagree with. Ha, yeah!

I'm going to set fire to my boozer
in protest at the genocidal

price of a pint of stout.

Well, the live blog from court
was a smart move, though.

Everybody's reading him now.

Not the jury, hopefully.

I hope he gets a
really angry old judge

whose piles are giving him gip.

If that was the right pedal
we found at the site,

getting torn apart in court
over its disappearance made me

question if I'm actually
any good at this job.

If I'm not, I'm in a spot of bother.

I'm going to get some answers.

DOOR BELL RINGS

The hot liquid causes
the mug to change,
reflecting rising sea levels.

Oh, yeah! Look at
the ice caps melting.

Ha-ha. Stops when the whole
world's under water.

Just what you want with
a nice cup of tea.

Frida bought it for me. She's
thinking of doing Climate Studies.

DOOR BELL RINGS
Oh.

Oh, what the fuck?

What the actual fuck, Mum?

I still have an irregular heartbeat.

So please don't shout.

You're utterly pathetic! You ghosted
me because, what? Because I wouldn't
look after your kids,

while you went to a party
full of middle-aged wankers

reminiscing about those crazy nights
in DC10 when it all went off!

Shows how much you know, you
sanctimonious fucking bitch!

I wasn't angry with you because of
that! So what were you angry about?

The fact that I was a red person
with the audacity to
hold down a paying job?

No, it was because you called
me your half-sister - again -

to the barman. And you do it
all the time to put me down.

What?!

You do, sweetheart. I've heard it.

Threatening to destroy my career?

I wasn't going to actually do it.

Oh, right, so nice to know that now,
after a ton of sleepless nights.

Oh, no, poor you. Well, I suppose
losing a job is something you've
never had to worry about.

There it is again.

Actually, I was quite clear
with Tamara on this one.

I mean, think of that
poor asylum seeker -

I mean, who might suffer
the consequences.

And you can fuck off as well,
Mrs Jellyby! Only ever caring about

the wretched of the Earth
and not your own children!

Fair. No. No, no, no, no, no!

Not at all fair.

You've both turned into thoroughly
immature, selfish

and entitled individuals.

Thanks, Mum. Yeah, cheers, Mum.

But I do love you two girls.

You're deeply precious to me

and I want you to be happy.

I love you, too.

Don't know about the Queen
of Sheba here, but...

I want you to reconcile.

Isn't there enough pain

and suffering in the world
without our adding to it?

No cars.

The blinds are down.

Yeah. Maybe they saw the blog.

But fair play - would you want
to live next door to a cult

that thinks you ran over their guru?

Do you ever get the feeling
you're being watched?

I reckon they've dipped.

Yeah. We need a witness
statement from the bike shop owner.

Hmm.

PHONE BUZZES

Fucking hell!

Must be bad if you're swearing.

He is watching us.

He's done a runner
and he's taking the piss.

The trial of Justin
Mitchell continues today

after chaotic scenes outside
court yesterday.

The journalist Felix Owusu

displayed evidence he claimed
the trial was overlooking -

a potential contempt of court,

for which he and several
of his supporters were
subsequently arrested.

Ecuador.

Mr and Mrs Norris flew out of the
country on a chartered jet which

was privately rented from a high-end
boutique company, paid for in cash.

Stopped off in Porto and Bogota.
Who paid for it?

Also, the woman who
chartered the plane was

an associate of a Mr Eddie Peterson,
who also joined the flight.

And who's he?
A known cocaine smuggler.

But was bizarrely acquitted
two years ago

when the rest of his
accomplices went down.

What everyone thinks of him,

Felix Owusu has been
right about a lot of stuff.

Yeah, and Ecuador is kind of
the new Colombia, isn't it?

It's rapidly
turning into a narco state.

Norris and his wife are
deep into that whole web.

If Justin goes down for murder,
he might just decide

to take Norris under the bus with
him. It's our only hope, really.

"I do solemnly, sincerely
and truly declare and affirm

"that the evidence I shall give
shall be the truth, the whole truth

"and nothing but the truth."

So, Dr Towler...

Now, you examined
Mr Mitchell last week.

I'd like to ask you a few
questions about your report.

By all means. Now, just for
the benefit of the jury,

where do you begin your examination?

Tell me a little
about your childhood, Justin.

It was all right.

You had to watch out for my dad
if he was in one of his moods.

What brought on those moods?

Oh. Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug!
HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY

I get on all right with him
now he's dead, though.

And how about school?

It was all right, I suppose.

Bored, mostly.

Mr Mitchell is at the upper
end of the intelligence scale.

Do you like reading, Justin?

Mostly nonfiction.

I prefer films, though.

Any particular genre?

No. I mean, I can't stand sci-fi and

I'd defund hobbits.

You prefer realism?

Justin's top three films,
in no particular order -

Scarface, Heat and Blade Runner.

Now, I know what's coming next,

but I don't consider
Blade Runner to be sci-fi.

He can appear confident
and communicative,

extrovert.

Can appear? He has a performative
tendency and a habit of illeism,

which means speaking of himself
in the third person.

I believe Mr Mitchell uses
both his intelligence

and an irreverent humour to mask
other more disturbing feelings.

What kind of feelings?

Let's talk about the month
leading up to the crime.

How would you describe your mood?

I'd...
HE CLEARS THROAT

I'd say it was varied.

I found a number of indicators
that suggest complex

post-traumatic stress disorder -

psychological hyperarousal,

mood swings,

reckless sexual behaviour,

flashbacks.

That was in addition to trauma
experienced as a child witnessing

his father's alcoholism

and his own severe
gambling addiction.

Now, did you also interview
his partner, Ms Sandra Vodanovic?

I did.
And what did you conclude from that?

Tell me about the drive
down the motorway.

He said any of us
could die at any moment.

He only had to make one
movement of the steering wheel

and that would be
over for all of us,

and the people we smashed into,
who would never know why.

He fell further into a
nihilistic world view.

The gambling worsened,
his behaviour became more erratic.

He'd wake up shouting in the night
about needing backup.

Sometimes, it's like I was there -

in the car with her again.

I could see the metal
sticking into her body

and I... I know she's going to die.

Sometimes, I dream about the baby.

Weird stuff, though.

You know, like...

Like, um...

Um... That she gives birth
to it and it survives

and I'm like the midwife and...

..and living and dying
are all mixed up.

And you believed Marcus Calderwood
was responsible for her death?

But he was.

How can there be any
doubt about that?

In your opinion, Dr Towler,
do you think

that the judgment of Mr Mitchell
could have been so significantly

impaired when he ran Mr Calderwood
off the road

as to prevent him from forming
a rational judgment

and exercising self-control?

Yes.

And do you believe that there were
significant warning signals

that would have warranted
an intervention by his employers?

Undoubtedly.

I find it astonishing that
there was no follow-up after

he failed to attend
three appraisals.

Thank you, Dr Towler.

Dr Potts, you also carried out
an assessment of Mr Mitchell

on behalf of the Crown.

Yes, that is correct.

Now, critical to the defence

is that Mr Mitchell was
suffering from complex PTSD.

But what did you conclude from
your interview with Mr Mitchell?

You kept on top of Mr Calderwood
and the SCG in general?

Er, you checked their social media?

Um, it was something you took
an active interest in?

Um, you, um, could say that.

Do you feel you needed the anger?

That is actually your first
decent question, Doc.

And I don't know the answer.

I felt that Mr Mitchell
was an intelligent man

with a sense
of self-importance that he

believed allowed him to make
decisions such as the penalty

Mr Calderwood should pay for
Daniella Fielding's death.

He... He did not show
avoidance of the trauma.

He returned to it repeatedly, he...

He...he sought it out.

There were indications of planning

and premeditation that are...
are inconsistent

with a sudden loss of control.

Now, his behaviour
following the incident did not...

..did not tally, either,
with a man who had, er,

momentarily succumbed to a sudden
collapse of rational faculties.

Rather than losing self-control,

he was deriving satisfaction

from playing judge and executioner.

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

CROWD CONTINUE CHANTING

CHEERING

Comrades and friends,

we have been
charged with contempt of court

and will appear at a later date.

The killing of my friend
Marcus Calderwood was a political

execution ordered by shadowy figures

who serve powerful interests.

I have to say I am now
prepared to break the law,

if that is necessary to bring light
to the shortcomings of this trial.

And if they imprison me,
then so be it!

CHEERING
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Hey, Helen, how's it going?

They've taken Felix's phone,

so they'll be reading his messages.

I didn't do it for money.

You're his source?

You know, it did vaguely
cross my mind.

Why did you do it?

I did it because of Whitley
and everything he represented.

Because, every time I tried
to raise stuff in the past,

I was swatted away by him
and his total cover-up mentality.

Like he'd let Justin harass
Marcus Calderwood

and be unfit for service
in full sight.

And because of the stupid rules.
Any complaints I made about things

within the station were thrown
straight back to be dealt with

by Whitley.

Even when I contacted
the IOPC whistle-blower line,

I just, um...

..I just wanted to tell
you first, rather than...

Jumping under
the bus before you get pushed?

Yeah.

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!

Justice for Marcus!
Justice for Marcus!

The jury will continue
to deliberate in the trial
of Justin Mitchell,

with the judge having
indicated that he might...

A crime was committed.
A martyr died!

There has to be justice.

How about punishing the
people who destroy property

and ruin lives
with their stupid protests?

Commit a crime, you've
got to pay for it,
otherwise where does it end?

Most of them
are probably off work,

claiming benefits due to
so-called mental health issues.

We have heard that
Mr Mitchell is a gambler,

and this was
perhaps his biggest thrill.

Could he get away with it?

We have heard clear medical evidence
that Mr Mitchell

was suffering from complex PTSD

and that the SCG protest
that he saw on television

triggered a catastrophic
chain of results.

I trust that you, the jury,
will respond in the clearest

possible way by delivering
the only possible verdict.

Guilty...

..of murder.

You must also, members of the jury,

consider carefully the prosecution's
argument of premeditation,

the moving of the body
and the disposal of evidence.

Never give up, Justin.

There's always something
to live for.

Never give up on life.

You all right?

Have you reached a verdict on which
at least ten of you have agreed?

Yes, we have.

On the charge of murder,

do you find the defendant Justin
Mitchell guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Yes!

Mr Mitchell.

Good job! Thank you very, very much!

Mr Mitchell.

How many of you agreed with this
verdict and how many disagreed?

Ten agreed and two disagreed.

Members of the jury,
I commend you for your dedication.

This was a complex and distressing
case and you've clearly

spent considerable thought
and time on reaching your verdict.

The sentence for murder
is life imprisonment.

I need to set the minimum
term before you can be considered

for release by the parole board.

The starting point set out in
statute for that minimum term

is 15 years.

There are a number of features
which aggravate this offence -

premeditation, the suffering
inflicted by you on your victim,

and your removal
and disposal of evidence.

But above and beyond those
important aggravating features

is the fact that, when you
murdered Marcus Calderwood,

you were a serving police officer.

In acting as you did, you profoundly
betrayed the faith the public

places in police officers.
By your actions, you have not only

taken a life, you have
reduced the trust the public

will have in police officers,
making it more likely

that other crimes
will go undetected,

leaving the victims of crime
let down and the guilty unpunished.

There are some mitigating factors,
including your obvious

struggles coming to terms with
the outcome of a terrible road

accident you witnessed

and the failure of your employers
to help you in that regard.

Taking all of those
features into account,

the minimum term you will serve

before you can be
considered for parole...

..will be 35 years.

The mitigation was paltry.

We can appeal the sentence.
It doesn't matter.

No, no, wait, wait. The amount added
for being a serving officer was

way too high. Stop it, Sam.
No, listen.

The sentence was politically
motivated, all right? Now, I...

..I know I can reduce
the sentence...

Stop it! Sam, stop it!

I won't serve a single year in
a cage! Justin, please, look...

You still don't know everything!

I want to tell you.

I've always wanted to tell you.

The prosecution brief was right.

About what?

I gambled and I lost.

It all came down to a bet.

Just not how he thought.

The bet was with Norris.

We both hated Marcus Calderwood
for different reasons.

Norris kept going on about
smashing him off his bike.

I owed Norris money.

If I won, it'd all be written off.

If I lost...

CAR HORN TOOTS

Felix Owusu.

He's actually
right about a lot of shit.

Such as?

The pedal, for a start.

I never kicked him into the ditch.

I thought he was dead - as good as.

But he actually must have
been confused

and dragged himself the wrong way.

But then I saw the pedal was gone

and I knew that spelled trouble.

Time was short and I was risking
somebody with a dashcam going past.

I drove home with
the bike in the back.

Why didn't you put it in the boot
when Sandra took the car?

Too many eggs in one basket.

I told Norris
he had to deal with it.

So he sent Elena to go
and pick it up -

asked for the Go-Pro as a souvenir.

She put a new set of pedals on it,
just in case.

Just in case what?
In case it was ever found.

To confuse matters.

Which it did.

Although, fair play, they gave a big
helping hand by losing the real one.

So Norris was behind it?

Mm.

He's serious stuff.

Got friends on both sides of
the law - that's also true.

Got up to some wild shit
in Latin America -

stories that shocked ME.

And he knows people you really
don't want to fuck with.

I worried about Sandra.

That's it.

THAT'S it!

That's why you won't
implicate him - even now.

I owe her that, at least -

after everything I put her through.

Well, he's got a bigger case to
answer for than you, in many ways.

I nearly told you the whole thing.

Yeah. Nearly. Yeah.

I wanted to. Yeah, I know.

When you, um, when you sent me
to the decoy pond.

There's one thing Owusu was
completely wrong about.

There was no political execution.

It wasn't the deep state
or big oil or the lizard people.

What was it, then?

Well...

Sometimes, you've got to
remember the smaller picture.

Ah!

The tree.

Yep.

Oh, my God!

That tree. It ate him up.

He could afford to fly to
Colombia on chartered jets, but...

..but paying a grand
for ignoring a TPO

because of some meddling
climate freak - forget it!

Justin.

Do you...

Do you feel any remorse?

For Marcus, I mean?

Um...

Well, he did kill Daniella
and her unborn baby.

And I'll believe that
till my dying day.

So, then...

..let's roll the credits
on Justin and Sam.

Do me a favour.

Make sure Sandy's all right.

She's a lovely girl, really,
and she deserved better than
some twisted arsehole like me.

You do have PTSD, Justin.

And Norris manipulated it.
Too late for all that.

Well, I'm going to warn them.
Warn away.

A day, a week, a month tops.

Justin Mitchell sets his own tariff.

Yep!

Commiserations.

You put up a pretty good fight.

Yeah. Thanks.

Not good enough.

It was the right verdict.

Was it, though?

The tariff was
higher than we expected.

He'll be, what - 65? -
before he's out on licence?

DI Southgate is still
going after Norris.

It's personal.

I certainly won't be defending him.

Wait, what? I thought I was talking
to Sam Malik for a moment.

Mm.

He's a skunk.

It's hard to prosecute
a foul stench.

Still, I can't think of a set
of mild-mannered teeth

I'd rather not have in my ankle.

Southgate won't stop.

Godspeed, DI Southgate.

How's the family?

My sister and I are just
about back on speaking terms.

Oh, good! Reconciliation.

I'm all up for that.
Ah, I wouldn't go that far but,

yeah, baby steps.

Mum is much improved
and off to teach in Canada.

Ah! Yeah, I knew you'd enjoy that.
Oh, wow!

They'll be mad for her out there.

On whose unseeded First
Nation lands, though?

I'm sure she'll factor it
into her first lecture.

I hope you're not still buying
pills on the internet.

There was talk of running
you out of town.

I told Southgate to drop it.

Oh. Good.

Thanks. Well, what are enemies for?

Hiya.

Hi, Dad.

I'm truly sorry.

Yeah, I know.

Do you fancy a beer?

Yeah. That would be nice.

Come on, then.
