Part 3
1 Your friend Ruth Slater, she murdered two policemen here in our house.
She spent at least 15 years inside.
That's why she hasn't had any contact with her sister.
- 15 years for a man's life.
It's not enough.
- She's got a sister, remember.
Ten minutes in a room with her, just you, me and a couple of baseball bats.
And it's doing what she did to us, taking it out on something she cares about.
- Who's Katie Slater? - It's Lucy, she has a sister, a biological sister who we've never told her about.
- She live local? - I don't know.
I don't know where she is.
What do you remember about your life before you went to live with Michael and Rachel? Nothing.
This private detective woman is saying she can find me this sister.
500 quid.
No problem.
- Oh, shit.
- Jesus! Steve! There are things people don't know.
Anybody could have ended up doing what I did.
Ruth.
Police are here.
- What they doing? - Nothing.
They're just sitting there.
Happen we'd be all right in a flat, eh? We can't really shoot at 'em.
You know that, don't you? I were just mouthing off.
What is it now? Is that the bay leafs? I don't know.
It's your mate Sergeant Whelan.
They're coming over.
Shouldn't social services be here? On their way.
They'll probably turn up some time next week.
Isn't this a bit heavy-handed for a 17-year-old lass and a little kid? You won't have met the Slaters.
I think they're gonna break t'door down.
Ruth.
Do something.
- They've got a thing.
- So open t'window and tell 'em to piss off.
Go on.
Hello.
What's your name? Is it Katie? Er, can you come down and open the door? Where's your sister? Is she there cos I need to talk to her? - I haven't got anything to say to him.
- She hasn't got anything to say to you.
- It's all been said.
- It's all been said.
Yeah, well, I've got a couple of things I want You are wasting your time, pal.
May as well cut to the chase and drag the little beggars out kicking and screaming, cos that's how it'll end.
He's ringing somebody up now.
I'll answer it.
Hello? Are you there? Can I speak to Ruth, please? She doesn't wanna talk to you.
Can you tell her my name's Mr Boothroyd? It's Mr Boothroyd.

appointed by the county magistrate.
Nip round t'front, see if there's a window we can get in wi'out doing any damage.
Yeah, all right.
What'd really help me, love, is if you come down and open the door.
He wants me to go downstairs and let him in.
Pass him to me.
- You know this in't fair, don't you? - Is that Ruth? You know they haven't treated us properly.
- I don't know all the ins and outs, love.
- Well, they haven't.
They've screwed us.
You know, the first time I arrested Ruth, she were nine-year-old.
She bit me hand and it went septic.
She nicked a car, which were an achievement in itself, on account of her not being big enough for her feet to reach the pedals, and not be able to see out at the same time.
We had rights! I had a right.
I had a right to inherit the tenancy off me father! Unfortunately, your father let the rent lapse, didn't he? I didn't know that, did I? - Look - I have worked hard to make ends meet - since he died, and they know that.
- I'm not discussing whys and wherefores But that's not good enough, is it? Hey, sarge.
The greedy pigs, they've decided to sell it and convert it and bollocks to us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! This is our home, this is our livelihood.
I were born here.
I grew up here.
We both did.
Do you think we wanna live in some stinking concrete box? They think they can treat people like shit, and maybe they can but I am damned if I am gonna make life easy for 'em, or for you.
So you can face the consequences.
- I hope you're not making threats, love.
- Yeah, maybe I am.
- That sounded very much like one to me.
- Well, I'd watch my backside if I were you.
- You wait here.
- And that little get Sergeant Whelan, you can tell him to stay right out of my way cos I've had enough of him.
He's a fat bastard! You tell that fat bastard if he comes anywhere near me, he's gonna get his brains splattered.
Have you got a gun, Ruth? Are you telling me you've got a gun? Well, there are no flies on you, are there? Jesus Christ.
And the first person that walks in here, they're gonna get blasted into the middle of next week and me, personally, I am hoping it's him.
Believe you me, nothing would give me greater pleasure and do you know why? Just Give me the gun.
Help me.
Drop it.
Drop it.
Get in t'Land Rover, turn t'engine over, get in t'passenger seat.
- Kick it over here.
- Where we going? Just do it! Eddie, Eddie could I borrow your car? Sorry I'm late.
D'you wanna come in? So what do you want to do? I've got £500.
I want you to find Katie.
- I know this is good news for you - I'm not being restricted by some stupid no contact clause in some stupid adoption care plan that had nowt to do with me, anyway.
I know you think it's ridiculous, but if you wade in now, you could blow your chances of ever getting this clause dealt with properly, legally.
- John, John, John, she's me sister.
- Ruth? I just wanna see her, I wanna know what she looks like.
She might ring the police if she doesn't understand who you are, or feels freaked out or Her parents certainly will if they find out you've been there.
And you're on licence.
You're vulnerable.
Stop and think about what you're doing, Ruth.

- It was Rufus and his friend and I overreacted and I'm sorry.

There were moments today I could have gone up to her and said, "Do you remember me?" It were nothing to do with that stupid no contact clause, it were fear that she wouldn't have a clue who I were.
And she looked so cool.
And posh.
I just I don't think I'd have dared.
I should be happy, I know.
And I am.
She's gifted and they love her, and she's probably gonna have a great future ahead of her.
I just would have liked to have been a part of it, that's all.
Maybe this is what it's like.
Maybe it goes on.
Maybe you never stop paying for it.
What happened? When? That day when you You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Why? People do what they have to do.
What did you do? Nothing.
I mean it were my fault but it weren't me that pulled the trigger.
So What do you mean? Well, then, who? Not? So But why did you? It weren't her fault.
We wouldn't have been in that position if it weren't for me.
I were mouthing off and making threats.
She only did what I said I were gonna do.
I was just bullshitting.
She didn't know that.
You've been in prison for 15 years for something you didn't do? I did what I had to do, I've told you.
I've served the sentence.
They've had their pound of flesh whatever.
That's her address.
Hipperholme.
Lucy Belcombe, that's her new name.
I took some photographs yesterday.
She's pretty.
Your friend'll be pleased you found her for her.

Why don't we go and find a nice warm pub and get something to eat? - No, thanks.
- Ruth.
You could get into trouble for this.
You're very vulnerable on licence, you could even go back to prison.
You know the good thing about being in prison were you didn't have to make any decisions.
How did you cope, day after day, month after month, year after year, knowing you shouldn't be there? It's surprising what you can do, in't it when you have to? You know, I think you must be one of the most remarkable people I've ever met.
Daniel, little year seven boy down the road, says she got off the bus same time as him as usual.
Definitely.
