00:20Can I give you a hand?
00:23I can manage, thanks.
00:25I enjoyed the talk.
00:27Thanks.
00:31I don't suppose you get many men?
00:34No.
00:39Well, good night, then.
00:41Good night.
01:31Well, a particularly frenzied attack.
01:33Many, many blows.
01:35But the assailant lost control.
01:37Weapon?
01:38Heavy object.
01:39Possibly curved surface.
01:41Baseball bat.
01:41Something like that.
01:42Any sign of a struggle?
01:43No.
01:44I'd guess the assailant was hidden in the doorway and as she approached the gate, bam.
01:48The wound in her head is consistent with being polaxed.
01:51And that single blow was probably enough to kill her.
01:53And then he made absolutely sure.
01:55Well, the cleaner's the only one in at the moment.
01:57They've got no idea who she is.
01:58One of them found her first thing this morning.
01:59You can get a statement.
02:01Find out whoever runs this place.
02:03There's a folder full of pamphlets and posters of violence against women, so maybe she was
02:07a campaigner for this safer society for freedom in relationships.
02:11I know them.
02:12They work to protect women from violent partners.
02:14Looks like one of them caught up with her.
02:16Sir, we've got an ID.
02:17Emily Patrick.
02:21The violence of the attack points to the kind of man she was campaigning against.
02:24Yeah, someone with a grudge against the organisation.
02:27A wife-beater.
02:28Maybe the people who were at the meeting.
02:30We found a list among our things.
02:31There's ten names in it.
02:32Nine women and one man.
02:34Six of the names have got ticks against them, including the man, a Gordon Pallister.
02:38Is it strange that a man came to this kind of talk?
02:41Addresses?
02:42Just names.
02:43All right, we need to track them down.
02:44You and Jackie hit the offices of this safer organisation.
02:48Check the names, find out about the victim.
02:49Okay, boss.
02:50We're on records.
02:51Let's start with this guy on the list.
02:59I tried to warn her.
03:01I told her it would get her into trouble.
03:03She wouldn't listen.
03:04What would get her into trouble?
03:06This new approach.
03:08New tactics, she called it.
03:11She decided to actively pursue wife-beaters or rapists.
03:15Especially those who'd recently gotten away with it.
03:17She would hunt them down.
03:19Campaign against them.
03:20Bring public shame down on them.
03:22And you had a problem with that approach?
03:24The press are already branding us as extremists.
03:27Painting us to be a bunch of lunatics.
03:30How is that achieving anything?
03:31I can just see the headlines.
03:34So you and Emily weren't close?
03:36She was my colleague.
03:38We've been friends for several years.
03:40We found a list of names amongst our things.
03:44I thought it might be those that attended the talk.
03:48I recognise some of these names on here.
03:51They're on our mailing list.
03:54There's a man's name on here.
03:56Do you recognise that name?
03:58I've never known a man to come to one of these talks.
04:00Do you have the addresses of the others?
04:05And we'll also need the names and the details of the men
04:07that Demley was actively pursuing.
04:09That would be in her machine.
04:10Well, if it's not too much trouble.
04:15Emily targeted various men.
04:17In order to publicly shame them, one was a Colin McDermott.
04:20Nasty piece of work.
04:22He'll have killed his wife and then raped two women.
04:24Got out recently after serving 12 years.
04:26And then, of course, there was Mr Kevin Nash.
04:29Kevin Nash?
04:30This is before your time, boss.
04:32His wife, Sharon, was convicted of attempting to murder him.
04:36She served six years.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Pity she didn't succeed.
04:40I gave evidence at her trial, sir.
04:43Sharon had suffered for years at the hands of Nash
04:45and one day she just snapped, tried to stab him to death.
04:48Unfortunately, the judge didn't treat her very sympathetically.
04:51Yeah, but it was Nash's violence
04:52pushed Sharon off the edge.
04:54And despite her attack on him,
04:55he was prepared to testify that she didn't do it.
04:57No, he was prepared to lie in court, you mean,
05:00so that she could go home and be his punch bag.
05:02Okay, but we could have used him,
05:03got her off and then got her away from him.
05:04What, get her off with a tenth murder?
05:06Well, I think she was justified in attacking him.
05:07She confessed to the crime, Robbie.
05:09No, you mean you got confession out of a...
05:10All right, enough!
05:12What happened back then doesn't concern me.
05:14I want to know why Emily Patrick was pursuing Nash.
05:17Maybe there's something more recent
05:19that we don't know about.
05:20Yeah, well, I know that Sharon got out a couple of weeks ago.
05:22Yeah? How'd you know that?
05:24Because I read it somewhere.
05:26Right, you two focus on Nash.
05:28See you and me, I'll find McDermott.
05:35So where exactly did you read about Sharon Nash's release?
05:39I can't remember, Robbie.
05:40A newspaper or something?
05:41Something you're not telling me.
05:45I've been keeping an eye on her.
05:46You went to see her?
05:48No, but I'm thinking about it.
05:49Why?
05:51To make sure she's okay.
05:53Oh, right.
05:55You don't believe me, do you?
05:57Why would I not believe you?
05:59Well, you think it's because I feel guilty.
06:01Do you?
06:02No.
06:03Good.
06:08I'd like to ask you some questions about Emily Patrick.
06:11The campaigner?
06:13Oh, you know her.
06:15She came to the door a while back, accusing all sorts.
06:19Apparently she'd been speaking to my ex-wife, Sharon, in prison.
06:22What was she accusing you of?
06:24I think you can guess.
06:26Oh, the fact you used to beat up your wife.
06:29That sort of thing.
06:32We've all done things that we regret.
06:34I was willing to back her up at the time, if you remember.
06:37Yeah.
06:39I remember.
06:40Did she ever contact you, Mrs Nash?
06:42Yeah, Paula would have said.
06:44I'm talking to your wife.
06:46And I just told you what she knows.
06:53Sorry.
06:54Sorry.
06:54Sorry, carry on.
06:55I've never met the woman.
06:56That's what I was just trying to tell him.
06:58I know.
06:58It's okay.
07:00Where were you last night, Mr Nash?
07:03I was here all night.
07:04Why?
07:05Can you vouch for that, Paula?
07:07Of course she can.
07:08Look, what is this?
07:10Has this got something to do with Sharon?
07:12Has that Patrick woman got her bad mouth in me or something?
07:14Is that what this is?
07:15Kevin.
07:16Just calm down.
07:21I'm sorry.
07:24Look.
07:25I've done nothing wrong.
07:28I'm a changed man for those days.
07:30Paula will tell you.
07:32Is that right?
07:34Changed man, is he?
07:36Yes.
07:37He is.
07:39I understand if Sharon hates me.
07:42I don't blame her.
07:44But whatever she says I've done, it's a lie.
07:48He was here all night with me.
07:52That's the truth.
07:55He's got that woman terrified.
07:57She seemed pretty much in control to me.
07:59Do you not think it's just an act?
08:02Maybe we should speak to her when he's not there.
08:04Yeah, I just don't buy it that Nash has changed.
08:16Mr. McDermott, this is Desai Burke.
08:18About time.
08:20What's going on here?
08:21Just a few questions, if you don't mind.
08:23Sit down.
08:26Is this what it's going to be like?
08:29Rest of my life?
08:31Dragged in here whenever you feel like it?
08:32Well, you were the one that raped two women, Colin.
08:35That's going back a bit now.
08:36I'd have thrown away the key.
08:40Tell us about Emily Patrick.
08:43What about her?
08:44You don't deny knowing her?
08:46I can't avoid her.
08:49Ever since I got out, that woman's made my life a misery.
08:51How do you mean?
08:54She's been around the neighbours, letting them know I'm a convicted rapist.
08:59Which means I've got to find somewhere else to live.
09:03Where were you last night, Colin?
09:06Oh, what?
09:08What am I supposed to have done now?
09:10Where were you?
09:12In my flat, watching telly.
09:14On your own?
09:16On my own.
09:19Look, what I did was wrong.
09:21I admit that.
09:23But I've served my time.
09:26I just want to get on with my life.
09:28So Emily Patrick was poisoning his name.
09:31That's a pretty strong motive.
09:33He did volunteer the information.
09:34Yeah, because he knows where to find out about it sooner or later.
09:37And he's got no alibi.
09:39What happened to his wife?
09:40She emigrated five years ago.
09:42I checked and she's still abroad.
09:43That's got a warrant.
09:45Search this place.
09:46Yes, sir.
10:06I hope I'm not disturbing you, Sharon.
10:08Social services gave me your address.
10:11I suppose you'd better come in then.
10:13Thanks.
10:25Looks like you've settled in.
10:33Why are you here?
10:36Emily Patrick.
10:39What about her?
10:41She was killed last night.
10:43She was found battered to death.
10:50You knew her, didn't you?
10:53Yeah.
10:55She used to come visiting.
10:57Not just me, lots of the women.
11:00Offering support.
11:02Do you know that she went to see your ex-husband about a month ago?
11:07She never said.
11:09I haven't seen her in a while.
11:13My God, poor Emily.
11:17Can you think of any reason why she would have targeted Kevin after all this time?
11:22I don't know.
11:25It's only in the last few months that I've started to talk about it all.
11:31Let her know what he was really like.
11:34You don't think Cave had something to do with it?
11:38I don't know.
11:41Listen, Sharon, I could speak to social services.
11:44See if they could maybe find you something in a better area.
11:48I don't want your help.
11:50I needed that six years ago.
11:59If you change your mind,
12:03give me a call.
12:33I know this is difficult for you, Paula,
12:35and I understand the pressure you're under.
12:37I'm not.
12:38Everything's okay.
12:40The thing is,
12:41we know the kind of history that your husband has.
12:44People can change, you know.
12:48When he said he was at home last night,
12:51was that true?
12:52You'd tell me if it wasn't.
12:55He was here all night.
12:58Has he really changed, Paula?
13:00Completely.
13:01It's just that I've seen a lot of cases
13:03where women are so scared
13:04that they start fooling themselves into believing
13:06that they can help somebody.
13:08And that's what I'm doing?
13:09Is it?
13:10Fooling myself?
13:12We can help you.
13:13If you give us the chance.
13:15Please.
13:16Do not make the assumption
13:17that I'm some sort of stupid,
13:19downtrodden type
13:20that can't see when she's being a victim.
13:22I know what I'm doing.
13:23It's not what I meant.
13:25I've studied this thing.
13:27I know how Kevin ticks.
13:29I'm the one that got him out of this.
13:30I'm the one that got him into counselling.
13:33Is that being a victim?
13:35No.
13:36I'm sorry.
13:37He doesn't tell me what to do or say,
13:39and he was here with me all night.
13:43Understand?
14:00I told you I didn't say anything.
14:03Well, I'm trying to understand, Paula,
14:05so why don't you explain it to me?
14:07Just look at it for where I'm standing, can't you see?
14:09They just came back.
14:11I told you that's all that happened.
14:13No, no, no.
14:13You see, you're just repeating the thing.
14:16Just repeating the thing
14:17doesn't make it make any sense.
14:18You can't just keep repeating it.
14:20Kevin, Kevin,
14:21just, I want you to breathe.
14:22Remember the breathing.
14:23No, shut up!
14:27You don't understand, do you, Paula?
14:30None of them,
14:32none of yous have ever understood.
14:34See, yeah.
14:36All I've ever wanted,
14:38all I want is the truth, Paula,
14:40but you are lying to me.
14:42Why are you lying to me?
14:43Just calm down, honey.
14:44Just please.
14:44Don't lie to me!
15:00What are you doing here?
15:02The doctor called us.
15:04I don't want the police involved.
15:07Paula, you can't let him get away with us.
15:09I fell down the stairs.
15:11Come on, now.
15:12We know what happened.
15:14I tripped and I fell
15:16and that's it.
15:18Paula,
15:19you're just going to have to accept the fact
15:21that men like Nash don't change.
15:24I'm getting out of here.
15:26If you don't press charges,
15:27then he's going to keep doing this.
15:32I fell down the stairs, okay?
15:36Now I want to get dressed.
15:38You're discharging yourself?
15:40It's just a few bruises.
15:43Now, if you don't mind.
15:46We're looking at exactly the same thing that happened with Sharon.
15:49Nash gets away with it every time.
15:51Well, without Paula's help...
15:52I don't need her help to burst his face.
15:53Well, that'll make all the difference.
15:57Gordon Pallister, real name, Colin McDermott.
16:01He attended the talk given by Emily Patrick under a false name.
16:05One of the women recognised him from his mug shop.
16:07He said Emily went round his neighbours,
16:09telling them he was a rapist.
16:10Well, why would Emily target McDermott?
16:13I mean, wouldn't he just pick a name out of a hat?
16:15Hang on.
16:16If McDermott was at the talk,
16:18wouldn't Emily have recognised him?
16:20That's a good point, Jackie.
16:22Go back to June Lamb and see what she knows about him.
16:24Let's get him back in.
16:27Did you know that Emily went round Colin McDermott's neighbours,
16:30letting them know that he was a rapist?
16:32No.
16:33But it doesn't surprise me.
16:35All part of her new tactics.
16:37You see, what I don't understand
16:38is why she didn't recognise him at the talk.
16:40Look, she probably did.
16:43Emily was a determined woman.
16:45She wouldn't have let his presence stop her from doing the talk.
16:48But afterwards,
16:49she decided to go home alone,
16:52knowing that McDermott was around?
16:54Emily believed she could take care of herself.
16:57She did classes.
16:59Self-defence.
17:00She wouldn't have been afraid of anybody.
17:02She didn't call you for support?
17:04No.
17:05I'd have told you that.
17:09Look,
17:10this McDermott thing,
17:12I mean the fact that she'd been round the neighbours,
17:15I'd be grateful if you could keep it out of the press.
17:17They'd have a field day with it.
17:19Did you and Emily always get on?
17:20How do you mean?
17:22Well, you obviously had different views about running safer.
17:25People are entitled to different opinions.
17:28Did that ever lead to any arguments?
17:31Yeah.
17:32We had arguments.
17:34But mostly we agreed to disagree.
17:51She seemed more concerned about her reputation than her colleague's murder.
17:54Yeah, I know.
17:55We're weird.
17:56DS Reed.
17:57DS Reed.
17:58DS Reed.
18:00DS Reed.
18:00DS Reed.
18:01DS Reed.
18:01DS Reed.
18:01DS Reed.
18:01DS Reed.
18:03DS Reed.
18:04You're kicking them my door.
18:05Yeah.
18:06Sharan.
18:07Sharan!
18:09He's kicking the door.
18:11Please.
18:12It's okay.
18:12We're on our way.
18:14It's Nash.
18:15He's attacking Sharan.
18:17Brian, I love his team.
18:20Sharan, just run, man.
18:21I just want his call.
18:29Sh手 behind the door.
18:38Sharon!
18:43Are you okay?
18:45I'm fine.
18:47You're cut.
18:49Did he hit you?
18:51No.
18:53Sharon.
18:54I ran away in about my head. No.
18:57Listen, I know he terrifies you, Sharon, but please tell us what really happened.
19:05He just kept saying he'd changed and that I was going to destroy him.
19:12Why would he think that?
19:16Because of the letters.
19:18When I was inside, he started writing to me, trying to control me like he always did.
19:26So I wrote back to him and told him I didn't want anything to do with him.
19:31So then the letters turned nasty, full of threats about what he was going to do to me when I
19:36got out.
19:38Do you still have the letters?
19:40Yeah.
19:42Emily Patrick was offering me using them to try and embarrass Kev.
19:46Try and get them published in the papers.
19:49That's what he's been scared of.
19:51Or maybe he's just scared I'll show his new wife what he's really like.
19:55Oh no, I think she knows already.
19:58Sharon, you could have him charged with assault.
20:00I don't want that.
20:02He'd just deny it and it would end up in court.
20:05Sharon, he'll probably do this again.
20:07You have to put a stop to this.
20:10We can back you up.
20:11They'd drag out my history.
20:13How would that look?
20:15I couldn't go through all that again.
20:18You said you still had these letters.
20:21Can we see them?
20:22They might prove helpful.
20:23No.
20:24That's all in the past, okay?
20:28Right, we'll need to get you somewhere safer.
20:30It took me long enough to find this.
20:33Look, he knows where you are.
20:35And he'll be back.
20:36I'm not spending the rest of my life on the run from him.
20:45Mr Nash.
20:46What?
20:47We have a few questions.
20:48We'd like you to come down to the station.
20:52I don't think so.
20:54Ah!
20:55Hey!
20:55You can't do this!
20:57Can I?
20:59I've just about had it with you, mate, so don't push your luck!
21:01Robbie!
21:05Okay.
21:06Keep moving.
21:12Sir, there's still no sign of McDermott.
21:14Keep on it.
21:15He'll turn up sooner or later.
21:18Well, Mr Nash, I presume.
21:20Why don't we go upstairs for a wee chat?
21:28So, do you deny assaulting your wife?
21:31She fell down the stairs.
21:32Oh, come on, Kevin.
21:35We've been here before six years ago.
21:37That was different.
21:39Two women.
21:40Brutally assaulted.
21:41You explain to me what's different.
21:43I am different.
21:44Oh, right enough.
21:45You're a changed man, aren't you?
21:47She just panicked.
21:49I was trying to talk to her.
21:50I lost my temper.
21:52She panicked, she ran and she fell.
21:54And what about your ex?
21:56I suppose she just tripped and fell in awe, did she?
21:58She was fine when I left her.
22:00No, she was cut above her eye.
22:02What is your problem?
22:02Six years that woman did because of you.
22:04And the minute she's out, you're right back in her face again.
22:06I mean, what kind of a man are you?
22:07Is he allowed to speak to me like this?
22:09Why did you go and see Sharon?
22:11I just wanted to talk to her.
22:12What about?
22:13That would be my business.
22:15Why'd you hear her?
22:15I didn't.
22:15Then why was her face cut?
22:16You tell me!
22:18I'll fucking show you, man!
22:19That's enough!
22:20Let's take a break.
22:31You want to tell me what just happened in there?
22:33Sorry.
22:34I was out of order.
22:34I lost it.
22:35I don't need a lecture.
22:37We deal with scumbags like that on a daily basis.
22:39What makes that one so special?
22:40It's because of the way men like him can completely destroy a woman's life and get away with it.
22:45Someone needs to stand up to them.
22:47And since when did you become a one-man crusade against domestic violence?
22:50Since I saw what happened to my mother.
22:55Your father beat your mother?
22:57No.
22:58Yeah.
22:58I don't know.
22:59He was...
23:01too clever for that.
23:03What do you mean?
23:06It was control.
23:08Total control, you know.
23:10Mental cruelty.
23:13It's worse than being hit.
23:14He bullied her.
23:15Smothered her.
23:17Took away her personality.
23:20Robbie Nash isn't your father.
23:23Don't get the two of them confused.
23:25No, I'm not.
23:27I'm not.
23:28It's just...
23:29It's bringing it all back, you know.
23:30I was too young to deal with it.
23:34But it's fine.
23:36I can control this.
23:37I'm fine, boss.
23:52You hurt another woman.
23:54I'll be coming after you.
23:56You understand?
24:12I've found a women's refuge.
24:14You can go right now if you want.
24:17You don't have to keep doing this, you know.
24:20What?
24:22All this.
24:23Looking out for me.
24:26I just think you'd be safer.
24:31You know what I said before?
24:34About needing your help six years ago.
24:37I think it was a bit harsh.
24:39No, you were right.
24:41You did need my help and...
24:43And I just made things worse.
24:45No, that's not true.
24:49For the first few months, of course I blamed you.
24:53All I could see was you standing there in that witness box.
24:57Reading out my confession.
25:00My own words condemning me.
25:02I had nightmares about it.
25:07I'm sorry.
25:09It took me a long time to stop blaming you.
25:13Till Emily started to visit.
25:16And she helped me see that none of this was your fault.
25:19Or mine, for that matter.
25:22That it was his.
25:24Kev's.
25:24He drove me to it.
25:26I knew that, but...
25:29I could still have done some more.
25:33Well, what happened got me away from Kev.
25:35That's all that matters.
25:37Do me a favour.
25:40If I hadn't gone inside, he'd have killed me by now.
25:45The way you saved my life.
25:59Here.
26:02Kevin's letters?
26:04Yep.
26:08Look, Sharon, you don't have to do this.
26:10I want to.
26:12Please.
26:19So he did actually threaten to kill her?
26:21Yeah, several times.
26:23In various letters.
26:25They're only useful if we can get him a charge for something.
26:27Our problem is his current wife.
26:29If she keeps providing him with an alibi...
26:31I'll go and speak to her, sir.
26:32Yeah, I'll come with you.
26:35Think this is wise, Robbie?
26:36Nash might be there.
26:38The old Nash?
26:39Yeah, that's what worries me.
26:41The boss told me about your interview.
26:42I told him I have a back now.
26:43Oh, you're not getting paranoid, are you?
26:45Not a problem.
26:46I'm on top of it.
26:51Burke?
26:51Sir, it's Fraser.
26:52Yes, sir.
26:53We've found McDermott.
26:54Where?
26:55We've been following him for half an hour.
26:57He's in Hope Street right now.
26:58All right, stay there. I'll be right with you.
27:02Do you know your husband attacked his ex-wife?
27:05He went to see Sharon.
27:08Do you know why?
27:09Because of the letters, I suppose.
27:12You know about them?
27:13He wrote them at a time when he was struggling with his recovery.
27:18Paula.
27:21He attacked her.
27:22He's suffered a setback because of you lot.
27:25Well, it's our fault now.
27:28Tell us about the letters, Paula.
27:30It was a way of purging the past.
27:33He didn't mean any of what he said.
27:35How can you know that?
27:37Because I know him.
27:38You're blind to him.
27:40I've seen all this before.
27:41I know how your mind can play tricks on you.
27:43I think I know my mind better than you.
27:45He's got you lying to protect him.
27:47I'm not.
27:48Which means you are aiding and abetting a criminal
27:50and you will be held responsible for it.
27:52You're wrong.
27:54I love him.
27:55I understand him.
27:59I don't feel threatened by him
28:01and I am not lying to protect him.
28:14I didn't call them.
28:18We had, er...
28:20We had questions we had to ask.
28:23It's okay.
28:25Are you done?
28:43Why didn't you tell me you'd been to see Sharon?
28:48That's what he's up to.
28:51They are trying to come between us.
28:53I know that, but why didn't you tell me?
28:56I just wanted the letters back.
28:58I didn't want you thinking that I still had feelings for her.
29:01Do you?
29:04No.
29:06I love you.
29:09You know that.
29:16I wonder what he'll do till this time.
29:18They seemed okay.
29:20That's all a front.
29:21We should keep a close eye on them.
29:36Off somewhere nice, Colin.
29:47Well, she's still in one piece.
29:51Yeah.
29:51But for how long?
29:55So when were you off to in such a hurry?
29:57Away from you, Lord.
30:00I knew you'd come after me.
30:02Because of Emily's murder?
30:03We know you were at that talk.
30:05Because I thought she'd be there.
30:07Emily Patrick.
30:09I wanted to convince her that I'd changed.
30:12See if she'd leave me alone.
30:14So why didn't you tell us this last time?
30:16Well, I didn't know what happened.
30:19Why did you give a false name at the meeting?
30:22Because I'm not supposed to be alone with women.
30:26I just went there to talk to her.
30:29And she wasn't there.
30:31Who wasn't there?
30:34Emily Patrick.
30:35It was some other woman.
30:39Get some pictures.
30:42I didn't even know this woman.
30:43Why would I want to kill her?
30:45Are you saying it wasn't Emily that gave the talk?
30:47It wasn't her.
30:48Had you met Emily before?
30:49Yeah.
30:50I met her once.
30:52At a neighbour's door.
30:53I knew what she was up to.
30:55I went up to her.
30:57To challenge her like.
30:59She told me her name was Emily Patrick.
31:01And that she'd see me rot in my grave.
31:08That's Emily Patrick.
31:13Well, that's the woman that gave the talk.
31:15But that's not the woman that went round my neighbours.
31:19So the woman who went round your neighbours told you she was Emily Patrick?
31:22That's what I'm saying.
31:24This is not the woman that was talking to my neighbours.
31:32No joy.
31:34I thought I saw a light on.
31:36No, maybe not.
31:37You got home address?
31:38Yeah.
31:38Right, let's go.
31:56I'm just having a nice time with the woman.
31:58You just start off again.
31:59I don't know why.
32:00It's my fault, is it?
32:01It's always my fault.
32:02No.
32:03Quite.
32:03Quite your husband in the house.
32:05That ain't my fault.
32:06I didn't stop them with your head.
32:07I don't want to hear it, Paul.
32:08Shut up.
32:09Shut up.
32:11Shut up.
32:11Shut up.
32:15No.
32:16It's always me.
32:17Right.
32:18That's it.
32:21You're losing it again.
32:22I'm losing it again, am I?
32:23There you go.
32:24It's always me.
32:25Me losing it.
32:26It's always me.
32:27No.
32:31Leave him.
32:32Leave him.
32:34Leave him.
32:35Leave him.
32:36Leave him.
32:38Leave him.
32:39Leave him.
32:43Get out of me, bitch.
32:45You're all you fucking bastard.
32:48Leave him.
32:54Get out of me, bitch.
33:08I can't believe you.
33:09So what happens if he makes a complaint?
33:12Did you even think about that?
33:13I wasn't exactly thinking about anything, was I?
33:16I've never seen you like that, Robbie.
33:17I don't know what came over you.
33:18It's as if I wasn't there, you know?
33:20My head went empty.
33:22This rage took over and I just couldn't control it.
33:24That's not something Nash would say.
33:26You dare compare me to the likes of him?
33:28Or what?
33:29You beat me up?
33:30Oh, shut up, Jackie.
33:31No, you both use your fists.
33:32What makes you different?
33:33The difference is he uses his fists on innocent women.
33:36Violence is violence, Robbie.
33:38I thought you would have known that.
33:46Oh, my God.
33:51Oh, my God.
34:10I wanted to move her. Why wouldn't she go?
34:13I don't know, Jackie, but you can't blame yourself.
34:15Yes, I can. I should have forced the issue.
34:16I should have forced it, and I didn't.
34:20And now it's too late.
34:21You were right when you said the wrong person went to prison.
34:24The door hasn't been fixed since Kevin Nash kicked it in.
34:26Anyone could have gained access.
34:28Same killer?
34:29Similar wounds, like a baseball bat.
34:31We were more frenzied than last time.
34:33We need to find Jim Laman.
34:34Why?
34:34Well, it seems it wasn't Emily Patrick that was spreading the good news about McDermott.
34:38But Laman wasn't our officer at home.
34:40We need to bring her in.
34:42Right, you two, get Nash in.
34:47He's probably already done a runner.
34:52And you're saying this attack was entirely unprovoked?
34:55Absolutely.
34:56Paula will tell you he, uh, came out of nowhere, knocked me to the ground.
35:00What the hell are you doing here?
35:01I'm here to make an official complaint.
35:03What?
35:03Go to my office, Inspector Ross.
35:05No, boss.
35:05Just do it.
35:11This way, Mr Nash.
35:19Right, Robbie.
35:27So you just walked up to Nash in a public place and attacked him?
35:31I know, boss.
35:31It wasn't like that.
35:33Well, you say you didn't attack?
35:34No, he was attacking his wife at the time.
35:38And you went to her aid?
35:39That's right.
35:40See, that's not what they're saying.
35:42He's claiming continual harassment.
35:44He says your attack was completely unprovoked.
35:46No, boss.
35:47He had a hold of her and he was about to hit her.
35:50Problem is, his wife is backing him to the hilt.
35:53He's been to see a doctor.
35:54He said his injury's photographed.
35:56Now he's threatening a lawyer.
35:58We're talking about your career here, Robbie.
36:00Possibly your freedom.
36:02Freedom?
36:02If he brings an assault charge.
36:04Boss, what was I supposed to do?
36:06Just sit in my car and watch him beat up his wife?
36:08There's a big difference between intervention and serious assault, Robbie.
36:11Now you told me that you could deal with this stuff.
36:14Yeah, I know.
36:15I snapped.
36:16When I see this guy, Nash, attacking another woman, I just lost it.
36:21I told him I would have a word with you.
36:23And maybe, just maybe, he might be prepared to accept an apology.
36:29What?
36:30Just do it, Robbie.
36:32And look as if you mean it.
36:39Mr. Nash, I understand you have made a complaint against me.
36:45Well, you understand correctly.
36:46I would just like to say that I might have been over-enthusiastic in restraining you.
36:52Now, wait, what's this, eh, mite business?
36:55There are no mites here.
36:57You attacked me, pure and simple.
37:00You were about to beat up your wife at the time.
37:03Not true.
37:04As my wife will tell you, we were having a disagreement that was none of your business.
37:12I apologise for using excessive force.
37:17What?
37:21I'm sorry.
37:23Okay.
37:25No.
37:27You see, I don't think you really are sorry.
37:31You think because you're a cop you can go around doing whatever you like.
37:36You're...
37:37You're just a thug.
37:40And I want to hear you admit that.
37:44Well, go on.
37:45Say it.
37:48Say it and we are done here.
37:53Fuck you.
37:58Boss, he wanted me to admit to being a thug and I just couldn't give him that satisfaction.
38:03All right, forget about the apology.
38:05I don't really give a shit about Nash.
38:06The important thing is that you put this behind you.
38:08Yeah.
38:09Yeah, I know.
38:10Now, we need to move this on because he'll make it official.
38:12I want matching statements from you and Jackie.
38:15Okay.
38:24Jackie, can I have a word?
38:30Listen, Nash is probably going to make the complaint official.
38:35So, I, um, need your statement to back up mine.
38:42I know.
38:44Thanks.
38:46I owe you one.
38:48I'll, uh, I'll get you a coffee, things like that.
38:52Robbie.
38:54This anger thing, it's...
38:56I know.
39:06Thank you, Mr. Nash.
39:06You're welcome.
39:12So, it's official?
39:15Yeah.
39:16Do you want to see his statement?
39:17Oh, later.
39:18I can imagine what it says.
39:20Is his wife still backing him up?
39:21She made her own witness statement, saying that Nash never touched her.
39:25Oh, great.
39:25Just gets better and better.
39:29So, what do we have available?
39:31Um, room two is free for the next hour.
39:33Through here.
39:40Thanks, George.
39:43Interview room two for Miss Lamont?
39:45Sweet.
39:50Why am I here?
39:51Because you're not Emily Patrick.
39:53I don't understand.
39:55Well, let me try and explain, June.
39:58We know it was you that went to see Colin McDermott's neighbours,
40:01telling them all about him.
40:02Don't be ridiculous.
40:03Several of the neighbours have identified you.
40:07Why did you tell us it was Emily that did that?
40:12I didn't want to be blamed.
40:16For her death.
40:18So, why would you be to blame?
40:22Originally,
40:24Emily was against using the new tactics.
40:27I was the one behind all that.
40:30Took a while to convince her.
40:32Why did you tell McDermott you were Emily?
40:36I thought he might come after us.
40:40If I could, he'd hunt down Emily before he'd get to me.
40:44You were prepared to sacrifice your own friend.
40:53I'm not proud of it.
40:56It was in the heat of the moment.
40:59It just came out.
41:03And then it was too late.
41:07I wish I could take it back now.
41:11And it was you that went to see Nash?
41:14No.
41:17Emily always dealt with the Nash case.
41:20She was a friend of Sharon's.
41:22So how do you know Paula Nash?
41:26I saw you in the reception.
41:27You obviously know each other.
41:30She came to see me.
41:32When?
41:34On the night of the talk.
41:36She came to the office looking for Emily.
41:40So that means Paula can't be Nash's alibi.
41:42She wasn't even home.
41:44Nash has been lying to us all along.
41:51Boss,
41:52maybe it's best if I should stay here.
41:54Yeah.
41:55I think that's probably a good idea.
42:00What is he right now?
42:02He just went to the shop.
42:03He won't be long.
42:04What do you want with him now?
42:06On the night Emily Patrick died,
42:08you went to see June Lament.
42:10That was early on.
42:12Kevin was here when I got back.
42:13What time was that?
42:15I can't remember now.
42:16Why did you tell us you were here all night?
42:19Because Kev's been doing so well.
42:22I didn't want anything to get in the way of his recovery.
42:25Why did you go looking for Emily Patrick?
42:28Kev had told me about the letters he'd sent to Sharon
42:31when he went through his bad patch.
42:33I thought maybe Emily could help get them back.
42:37You knew she was Sharon's friend?
42:40I wanted to explain to her
42:42just how much Kevin had changed.
42:46I thought maybe that might persuade her
42:48to just let it all go.
42:54I thought maybe that might be a good thing.
42:59What now?
43:00Seems your alibi doesn't quite stand up, Kevin.
43:03What?
43:04So where were you the night that Emily Patrick was killed?
43:08What have you been saying to me?
43:09Nothing.
43:10It's okay.
43:11All right, go.
43:12Go and hit me.
43:17I'm arresting you for the murders of Emily Patrick and Sharon Nash.
43:20You're not obliged to say anything but anything you do.
43:23Leave him.
43:23Leave him.
43:23Let him go.
43:24It's me you should be arresting.
43:26Go on, Paula.
43:28I killed them.
43:30Both of them.
43:31Don't be stupid, Paula.
43:33You're still trying to protect her.
43:35Look in the boat at that car.
43:37It's that Patrick woman.
43:40She was going to destroy you with those letters.
43:42I think, Paula, that's enough.
43:44I had to stop her, do you see?
43:46Don't say anything else.
43:47No, I love you, Kevin.
43:50After everything we've been through,
43:52I couldn't let them destroy us.
43:56No, it's for us.
43:57It's to keep us together.
44:04Sir.
44:09Come on.
44:11Let's go.
44:22This is all your fault.
44:26No, I'm not going to let you get away with this.
44:29I'll get you one day.
44:43For a minute, I thought you were going to hit him again.
44:46That wouldn't solve anything, would it?
