Waking the Dead (2000) s03e02 Episode Script
Multi Storey: Part 2
We can't dismiss him as a figment of Carl Mackenzie's imagination.
He exists or he existed.
He could have been unlucky enough to have his van nicked by a mass murderer.
He never reported it.
A second man might explain how Patterson's gun disappeared.
No.
An accomplice is unlikely - spree killers usually act alone.
He could have done it.
Mackenzie could be innocent.
You forget Martin Corgan saw Carl Mackenzie shoot his wife.
Well, I mean, that's what HE said, yeah.
And we don't have any reason to not believe it, do we? Don't we? I don't No.
He could have said he saw Mackenzie for revenge.
That's a bit out there.
Just come back in for a second.
Robert Cross is adamant that there was not a second man at the scene.
Do we trust Cross? Yes.
More than Nesbit.
Nesbit buried the man as a suspect.
Our priority is to find out why.
I agree.
OK, thanks.
It's official.
Mackenzie's got leave to appeal.
DS Jordan.
John Nesbit.
This way.
Mr Nesbit, Carl Mackenzie has been given leave to appeal.
No! Well, I'll do everything I can to help.
That would be good.
Do you remember the vehicle Mackenzie used? A VW camper.
Why? We're trying to trace this man.
He bought the camper van from a car dealer in Essex the day before the massacre, but in your report, he says it was stolen.
You threatened the dealer with some DVLC misdemeanours if he failed to corroborate the theft story.
I didn't want to jeopardise Mackenzie's conviction.
You weren't curious who this other man was?! If you want Mackenzie where he belongs, walk away from this.
What's funny? That's what Robert Cross said to me.
Robert Cross? Yeah.
How did you and Robert get on? He doesn't speak very highly of you.
He says that you carried out a lousy, complacent investigation.
Did he really say that? I'm afraid so.
Does that piss you off, just ever so slightly? Yeah, it does a bit.
You thought you and Robert were a team, working together to put Carl Mackenzie away.
Yeah? Robert had lost a man - Nick Patterson.
I respected that.
Because I knew it was him.
I knew it was Carl Mackenzie.
His picture was plastered all over the papers! You didn't even pick him out of a line-up! You lied to make it up to your wife, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU? (Didn't you?) Hi, Mel.
Hi.
Is that Nick Patterson's? Mm-hm.
What can I do for you? Nothing.
You all right? Yeah.
No, I'm fine.
I'll see you later.
OK.
Hi.
Grace! What have you got there? Listen to this.
In 1992, Reynolds Mining established a copper mine on an island off the coast of Kenya which left 1,000 people homeless.
Grace The islanders fled to the mainland leaving behind men to oppose the mine.
A year later, they found these men buried, and all 50 had been shot through the head.
(God!) Reynolds Mining denied it and the UN believed them.
But Mel! Two massacres either side of the world and the Reynolds family involved in both! What d'you think? It's amazing.
I'll read it later.
You felt you had to give Cross a role in the case? He'd lost a man.
Was it Robert Cross who told you not to go after this man? Yes.
So you signed off on a hand search of Whitewater Common that never happened? You never checked a word of Mackenzie's story, did you? So what? It was a pack of lies.
Did Robert Cross obstruct your investigation in any other way? We could arrest you for perverting the course of justice.
Then why don't you? Mackenzie's lawyers'd be delighted.
Look.
It's not about us versus you, we're not trying to ruin your retirement, but if you don't help us, Mackenzie will walk, guilty or not.
Is that what you want? Of course not.
So tell us the role Robert Cross played in the investigation, then.
The first thing Robert wanted was to meet the witness, the bloke who saw Mackenzie kill his wife.
Martin Corgan? Yes.
But he was still in hospital with shock.
Did Robert Cross say why he wanted to meet him? No.
Then later, he was all over the crime scene like a rash.
So Robert Cross had the opportunity to move Nick Patterson's gun? And why would he do that? Answer my question.
Nick was Robert's deputy, his friend.
Answer the question.
Yes, he would.
Did Cross intimidate anyone else? Forensics? Pathologists? Not to my knowledge.
Did it never cross your mind that Robert Cross could've been trying to cover something up? Well, of course it did.
But I swear to God I don't know.
Andrew, hi.
Hi.
I thought I'd come and see how you were getting on.
Ohwell, I'm fine.
I'm busy.
Actually, I came to offer some more unofficial advice.
Oh, OK.
In the original investigation, they found no evidence that Mackenzie had previous firearms experience.
I know that.
Do you realise how remarkable it is? Beth said anyone could've done it with that gun.
Not from that distance.
And nine kills from, by then, 26 bullets puts him in a military class.
Wasn't it raised at the trial? The prosecution said it was a fluke.
You don't buy that? In 1991, a Palestinian terrorist walked into a restaurant with the exact same gun.
He used 90 bullets to kill eight people.
Most of them missed - that was an experienced gunman at close range.
'When we got to the car, my wife got in the driving seat while I was putting the shopping in the back.
'Just as I shut the boot GUNSHOT ' "Help me!" ' That's what she said - ' "Help me.
" 'She was crying out for me and I just couldn't move '(What did you see?)' Helpme.
'It could have been anyone, that's the truth.
'Why did you lie? 'I knew it was Carl Mackenzie.
His picture was in the papers! 'You didn't even pick him out of a line-up, did you? When I saw him in court 'You lied to make it up to your wife! DIDN'T YOU?' GUNSHOT 'Didn't you? 'Yes.
'(Yes.
)' Boyd, coat! OK.
Why are you here? To see Dr Wharton.
About what? Mackenzie's lack of firearms experience.
You may want to hear No.
You need my permission to be here.
Er, that's not exactly true.
I thinkI'd better go.
I'm so sorry.
It's OK.
Thank you.
I'd I'd like a word with you, please.
Sure.
In here, please.
If you'd like to sit down.
Thank you.
Your father gave me a thorough rundown on what happened at Whitewater.
Right.
Right.
I appreciate this might not be easy So, what d'you want to know? Why you felt so bad about what happened to Nick that you got a desk job.
I'm an instructor.
You didn't go to the funeral.
I blamed myself for his death.
Why? Why did you do that? Because I was his partner, and he got shot.
How's that? It's all right.
It's all right.
That's not great, but that'sthat's all right.
Nick was a very dear friend to me.
I worked with him for three years.
He was stubborn, a pain in the neck, he was unpredictable.
But at the first sign of trouble, he'd be there pushing you out of the way, to get there first.
So? I don't see Nick stopping to baby-sit Debbie, with a battle on upstairs.
I can't square that in my head with the man that I knew.
Removing I see YOU volunteering for that, but not him.
It's not What d'you mean, you can see me volunteering for that? Calling me a coward? No.
No, I'm not, I Why don't you tell me, then, how you and Nick got separated? You're a coward if you can't.
Nick wasn't match fit.
That's why he stayed with the girl.
What was the matter? He'd been in a fight.
Who with? Some guy in a pub.
Some guy in a pub? He was vague about it.
I don't see what difference it makes now.
Andrew Cross is leaving.
ANDREW! Andrew? Justjust come here, would you, please? Empty your pockets.
You what? Empty your pockets.
RATTLE OF LOOSE CHANGE OK, turn around.
Turn around! Ooh! Happy? Thank you.
You sure? Mm-hm.
What are you doing? Anybody been in here? I don't think so.
What Andrew Cross was saying I don't care.
He's trying to help! No, he's not.
Do you know something I don't? Not now! You look like you're going to cry.
I might.
I don't think I could handle it.
Do me a favour.
What? Get out of here.
Oh! FRANKIE! Postmortem report on Nick Patterson.
Why? OK.
(Olly!) Guy.
What happened, Olly? Where did you go? That's not what I came to talk about, Guy.
Did you kill those people in Whitewater? Would you feel more or less guilty if I did? I feel guilty either way.
Aw! Don't blame yourself, Guy.
I have to know what happened.
The African girl is a stunner.
Glad to see you've developed a belated respect for the natives.
Get out! Don't worry, I am getting out.
AustraliaFlorida somewhere hot.
You want money? I want what you owe me for Mackenzie.
You didn't finish the job.
That's a tall order, given he's in prison.
In a couple of weeks that might've changed.
Wire me ã500,000 to this account and you never see me again.
my enforced retirement, the losses made by Stonegate Security.
Not a penny until I know what happened.
You don't have a choice.
Don't I? See you later, Guy.
Yeah? Ah, yes.
There was evidence from the PM on Nick Patterson that he'd suffered a beating prior to his death.
Could have been a fight? Well, no.
The report describes "intense bruising to the chest and stomach".
The PM photographs support that.
I could show you them, but perhaps you'd rather not.
Don't be ridiculous! Come on.
OK.
I thought he might've suffered the bruising after he was shot because he'd fallen down the stairwell.
But? Those injuries are recorded elsewhere - they were to his back.
So a fight seems unlikely? You'd expect to see something on the face or the neck, wouldn't you? Would you? Well, like cuts, bruises, scratches.
And there's nothing.
It's that way round.
I need to talk to you.
I need to talk to YOU.
Look.
Can I read it later? That's what Mel said.
Reynolds Mining linked to tribe massacre.
Two massacres - Reynolds family connected with both.
He went to Africa to rehearse? You won't consider Mackenzie as innocent! I'll consider anything.
Grace, listen.
Before Nick died, I knew he was having an affair, but he wouldn't tell me who with.
I think it was a member of his unit.
Not the woman who shot Mackenzie? Yeah.
Beth Downing.
ButI don't know if his wife knew about it.
Oh.
Well, is that important now? Mm-hm.
Why? Nick's postmortem.
Andrew Cross said that Nick had a fight in the pub the night before.
But Frankie thinks this is more like a beating.
Internal discipline? Yeah, that sort of thing.
Didn't that thing go out with the Flying Squad? I thought so.
But I'm going to have to talk to his wife, aren't I? Boyd go home, sleep on it.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
OK? Sure.
DOG BARKS Hi.
Can I come in? Yes, sure.
Mackenzie's going to get off, isn't he? Not necessarily.
I can't explain how Nick was shot with his own gun and that's what we're trying to understand here.
'Reuters, Moscow.
' Oh, hello.
Can I speak to Howard Boorstin, please? 'Just a moment, please.
' This is Howard.
'Hello, Howard, my name's Dr Grace Foley.
' I'm with the Cold Case Squad, London Metropolitan Police.
I dug up an article of yours on the internet about Reynolds Mining and an island off the coast of Kenya.
Uh-huh.
Do you remember the article? Vaguely.
You imply a connection between Reynolds Mining and the massacre.
No, I don't.
That's your interpretation.
Dr Foley I'll call you back through the Scotland Yard switchboard.
What mood was Nick in on the morning of the massacre? I don't know.
You mean you couldn't tell? Where was he? I don't know.
Are you sure you don't know? I can't talk about this.
Did Robert Cross tell you not to? Just go.
So, before he Before he died, Nick told me that he was having an That he was seeing someone.
Was it Beth Downing? Yes.
As soon as I met her, I saw the future.
As if he could resist HER! So the night before he died, he was with Beth Downing? No.
Well, where was he, then? It had been going on for months I was going crazy.
Nick didn't care I knew any more.
He was staying over with her.
So I called Robert Cross.
Robert was the only person Nick ever really listened to.
And what did Robert say? He calmed me down and promised me he would deal with it.
But nothing changed.
Did you call him again? Yes.
He was furious.
When was this? It was two days before the massacre.
He said this time he would really deal with it.
Nick didn't come home that night.
I didn't see him the day before he died and it was my own stupid fault! So that's why he never returned my calls.
Don't blame Robert.
I don't.
I told him to do it.
I told him to do whatever it took to stop them.
Did you ever find any hard evidence? Not that I remember.
I think Reynolds contracted a security company at some point.
'A security company?!' Yeah.
Mercenaries, basically.
You didn't mention that in the article.
My editor was worried about getting sued.
Do you remember the name of the security company? I think it was British.
I've got it in a file over at my storage unit.
Where's that? 'Near Heathrow.
'But I won't be back from Moscow till Thanksgiving.
' (Shit!) Is there anyone that could let ME in? Can you give me some inkling as to what this is about, Grace? I'm sorry.
I can't at the moment.
Will there be a story in it for me? 'I sincerely hope so!' I suppose I could contact the manager of the storage unit, let him know you were coming.
'The name Whitewater will linger long in public memory.
'Sergeant Patterson was among 14 people murdered in the massacre.
' 'The disappearance of his gun was one of many unanswered questions.
' PHONE RINGS Yeah, hello.
'Peter, Robert Cross.
' Hi.
What do you want? 'Don't take this the wrong way, but your investigation could be doing more harm than good.
' Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
You could be playing into Mackenzie's hands.
Uh-huh? 'Like I said, I don't want you to take this the wrong way.
' Don't worry, I won't.
'Why not come over first thing, and we'll talk?' OK.
'Good.
'Bye, then.
See you tomorrow.
' Mm-hm.
Bye.
You're going to make the appeal? Of course! I've taken time off work.
That's very good of you, sis.
Who else is coming? Uncle Chris? I think he's going to be on holiday.
LookI don't want you getting your hopes up.
Why not? Don't you think the truth will out this time? I hope so.
Stopsaying hope, Fiona.
It's not to do with hope.
It's to do with right and wrong and facts.
If you're not positive, how on earth d'you expect ME to be? I AM positive! Good.
So have you cleared the spare room out for me yet? Yes.
Look me in the eye.
Have you cleared it out? No.
I thought it might be tempting fate, like it might jinx things.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
No, I'M sorry.
I'll clear it out tonight.
I know I should be pessimistic, but it's very difficult, it's hard.
I think maybe I'll get out of here and I'll feel the sun on my face and take my little sister to New York.
We'd have to make some money first.
Yeah, well, I'll, er I'll write a book.
But you're right.
One step at a time.
Thank you very much.
DIALS PHONE NUMBER Hi, Howard.
.
.
Hi, it's Grace, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I'm in.
I hope it's not too much of a horror story.
'No, no.
' It's a bit like my spare room, really.
Now, who's this in this photograph? Is that you with the beard or you with the tattoos? Which would you rather? 'That's a bit of an unfair question.
' It's me with the tattoos, then.
Right.
So where's this file? Morning, sir! Thank you.
Robert.
BOYD: Tell me about this.
What did you do to him? Nick was seeing someone in the unit.
Her? Yes, me.
I gave him a warning - he ignored it.
What kind of unit are you running? I don't expect you to understand.
Why don't you try me? Haveyou ever taken a bullet? That would help me to understand(?) Before I joined the Force, I was in the Marines - the same applied.
It was every man for every man, but put two people in love in there So you beat up one of your own men? I could have thrown him out of the unit.
What did Nick do after all this? Nothing.
Nothing? He knew he had it coming.
Afterwards, he just crashed out on the floor.
And the next day, you let him go to Whitewater? I tried to stop him, but it was useless.
Now, if you knew Nick at all, you'd understand that.
Sorry, Howard, but I can't find it.
Really? Shit.
I mean, are they filed alphabetically or chronologically? More like randomly.
Sorry.
SHE SIGHS Waitertry the box files over by the light switch.
OK.
Yeah, well done.
Reynolds Mining and Mokardi Island.
That's it! Just a minute.
Grace? Stonegate Security.
Good Lord! Oliver Lewis.
I get the feeling you're lying.
About what? What happened in the car park.
Martin Corgan is the principal eyewitness against Carl Mackenzie.
He has withdrawn his testimony.
He's supplied new testimony, which we've given to Mackenzie's lawyers.
I thought you were Nick's friend.
Don't you understand? The only person to identify Carl Mackenzie has withdrawn his testimony! So what else is Martin saying? He saw Beth shoot Mackenzie unarmed.
(Shit!) And what else? I think you should tell ME.
When I heard Andrew shouting "Man down!" I knew it was Nick and I knew whoever was responsible wasn't leaving that car park alive.
GUNSHOT Armed police! Put your weapon down! There's a myth that gunshot victims are thrown back by a bullet.
But it's a myth.
You threw him over? And he still survived.
As Nick's friend, would you do any different? So you shot him unarmed? Lookit was Mackenzie, all right? I'm telling you, there was no-one else there, no accomplice, no second man, no-one! So, what are you going to do with us? I honestlydon't know.
PHONE RINGS Excuse me.
Yeah? 'Grace has identified the man Carl Mackenzie says abducted him.
'His name's Oliver Lewis, ex-SAS,' used to run a security company called Stonegate Security, employed by Reynolds Mining in Africa.
OK, I'll be right there.
If Mackenzie wins his appeal, this man disappears, if he hasn't already.
DOOR SLAMS Carry on.
What do we know about Lewis apart from the fact that he's done dirty work for Guy Reynolds in the past? He can get hold of exotic guns.
Yeah, and HE knows how to use them.
What about the company? Stonegate shut up shop one month after the massacre.
Surprise(!) Lewis is a mercenary, not a psycho.
He works for money, right? But why would Reynolds pay him to kill people? Is Guy Reynolds a psychopath as well? Well, no.
No.
He doesn't show the behavioural criteria.
Thank you.
Our job is to review all the evidence.
Do you actually want to find out the truth? - Yes.
- I don't believe you any more.
What did you say to me? Look, the bottom line is we know Lewis played some role at Whitewater.
Can we bring him in? No.
Why? If Mackenzie's lawyers know we've got another suspect, he's out.
Is that a problem? We don't know enough about Lewis.
So what do YOU suggest? Are you working with me? He's home.
Stick with him, Spence.
Just keep watching him, OK? Yep.
OK.
Tube of glue, all right? Hang on, he's off again.
Form as usual, Spence.
OK.
Thanks.
Looks like he's pissed off.
Are you sure this guy was in the SAS? SILVER: 'I ran a DSS check.
He's on disability allowance.
' What's the matter with him? 'Injuries sustained in a fall.
' OK.
He's outside Guy Reynolds' house.
'Has he got the bag with him?' Yes.
He's armed.
'He's got a gun?' Yes, he has.
'Don't do anything.
Stay there.
' Good luck.
Take care.
Thank you, son.
But, if you go to the appeal, it'll be in the papers, won't it? Well, so what? So everything we did to distance ourselves from him - like giving money to the survivors' group - will be rightly thrown in our face.
Of course you're right.
RUSTLING Poor old Guy.
Hello, Mrs Reynolds.
I'm an old friend of Guy's.
Jesus.
I've been checking my balance all day, Guy.
It's still a very disappointing ã822.
All right.
What's going on? I want the rest for Mackenzie, now.
Mackenzie? What's he saying? Don't listen.
It's just a phone call.
Now, all right? Thank you.
That's more like it.
From the Swiss bank account, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Right, that's it - all done.
You ARE a man of your word.
Why are you paying him? Shut up! What did he do? Why did he say Mackenzie? Kneel down, both of you.
No - he's going to kill us! Kneel down! Armed police! Drop your weapon! Man down! Man down! Guv'nor's down.
Guv'nor's been shot.
.
.
fell a metre from the door.
This is a crime scene.
It's OK.
He's my father.
I know he's dead.
Wait till everyone's gone Jesus Christ! .
.
then you can see him properly.
.
.
C'mon, please.
Dead cert Mackenzie's out.
Yeah, well, maybe he should be.
Yeah, maybe he should.
Did you pay Oliver Lewis to murder Carl Mackenzie? No, I did not.
So why was he at your house? Your mother said it was to do with a payment.
You have no right to intimidate my mother.
We didn't.
She volunteered the information.
She told us Lewis was quite specific what he wanted from you.
You owed him the rest for Mackenzie.
The rest.
Now, you know what's going to happen.
It won't be easy, but we will find proof of that first payment - whether it was electronic transfer, cash, diamondswhatever.
We will find it, all right? So why don't you save time and start telling us the truth? These injuries explain the disability benefit, but I doubt he sustained them in a fall.
My guess is that he was stabbed several times in the chest.
What? The knife you found on Whitewater Common, there was blood on it? Yes.
Look, I know what you really want to know and I don't know the answer.
Did Carl Mackenzie carry out the Whitewater Massacre? What did Oliver Lewis say? He didn't.
I never heard from him until this week.
Even though you owed him half his money? Well, technically I didn't, but I was surprised not to hear from him, yes.
What did you think when you didn't hear from him? I thoughthis pride must have been injured.
I thought the job had gone wrong, he'd underestimated Carl, and Carl had somehow got the better of him.
The blood on the kitchen knife belongs to Lewis.
OK, so Lewis follows Carl Mackenzie around for a few days, finds out where he goes, what he does, and chooses his moment to move in for the kill Yes, but what he doesn't know is that Carl suffers from paranoid personality disorder, which means he's hypervigilant.
And you have to remember he felt fear when there was nothing to worry about.
But he's convinced his father wanted to destroy him.
- Because of his engagement.
- Which you can understand.
So Oliver Lewis strikes when Carl's out on the Common, but Carl stabs him and takes his gun.
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Explain the kill ratio to me, because Andrew Cross said it puts the gunman in a military class.
Adrenaline rush - dissociation.
It heightens the human senses.
Yeah.
Like when a passenger can land a jumbo jet in a disaster situation.
It also dulls the emotional impact.
It's a clinical condition.
It's been suggested in other spree killings.
So for them, accuracy means they feel nothing if a bullet actually kills someone.
Exactly.
Do we still think Mackenzie's guilty? It's what we can PROVE.
Oliver Lewis can get Mackenzie out of jail.
Really? What about Martin Corgan? Didn't he see Mackenzie shoot his wife in the car park? No.
No, he didn't.
He came in and retracted his statement.
He was hiding behind a car and he didn't see anything.
What? Why didn't you tell us? Sorry.
I should have done.
It slipped my mind.
Slipped your mind? It happens.
Does it? .
.
That's appalling! I'm sorry, Grace.
Boyd! So our principal witnesses are dead, discredited or they've withdrawn their statements.
Wow.
Welcome home, Carl.
Well, nono.
There's one more witness.
Fiona, did your brother display signs of violence as a child? No.
We know that your parents asked their GP to have Carl mentally assessed when he was 17.
What event made them do that? Leave me alone.
Did it involve you? No, he loved me.
It was your father, wasn't it? Carl attacked your father, didn't he? You know Carl killed your parents but can't face it because you don't want to admit it was your fault.
Is that right? That's rubbish.
Is it? Can you describe this voice you heard downstairs before your parents were shot? I said it was a stranger.
What were they saying? Why? So you do remember? Are you sure it wasn't someone you knew? I want to leave now.
Well, you can't.
If Carl wins his appeal, he'll be coming out.
I know that.
I'm not stupid.
How do you feel? Never mind.
Are you scared of him coming home .
.
what he might do to you? You're the witness.
He might hurt you.
Does that make you feel frightened? You've told us, haven't you? He could come home and hurt you.
Are you frightened, Fiona? (Are you?) It's all right, Fiona.
It's OK to be scared.
It was your brother, wasn't it, that you heard shouting at your parents? Was it, Fiona? Was it? I need to hear you say it, Fiona.
Yes.
.
.
Yes.
SHE SOBS I heard them rowing Why are you following me? Why are you FOLLOWING me? Carl, put the gun down! What have I done for you to hate me so much? You're mad - it's all in your head! No, no! TWO GUNSHOTS Go back upstairs.
Thank you, Fiona.
Unfortunately, we can no longer depend on your sister's testimony.
My sister? Yes, I'm as surprised as you are.
I don't understand.
We don't need her testimony.
Actually, we do.
At your trial, she testified that she heard a stranger's voice before your parents were shot.
Yes? It's not just a case of her withdrawing her original testimony.
Fiona intends to enter a revised one, which will have to be heard at your appeal.
She'll perjure herself.
Yes.
Right I think I should speak to Fiona.
I don't think she wishes to speak to you, Carl.
Of course she will.
This may not necessarily affect the outcome of the appeal.
What? What appeal? What? I don't care about the appeal, you stupid! Come on, Carl, we must be positive Agh! Tell Boyd I'd like to speak to him! Tell Boyd I'd like to speak to him now, please! Tell him! Thanks, Frankie.
OK, come on.
I haven't had a chance to look at the post-mortem report.
Andrew, he died instantly, OK? He didn't suffer.
Anything on the ballistics side you want me to look at? Not necessary.
Andrew, can I ask you a question? Sure.
Why are you always trying to help me so much? I'm sorry if I Oh, no, no, no.
I'm not ungrateful, honestly.
I'm just curious.
I want to help you find the truth.
AndI like your company.
Thanks.
Frankiedo you think you could come to Dad's funeral? It would mean so much to me.
OK.
Sure.
I killed Emma Corgan Michael Coulson .
.
Lucy Magee, John Pritchard Susan Heather, Malcolm Foster, Bhupen Shah Jill Williams William Glass, Nick Glass .
.
and my parents, Brian and Linda Mackenzie.
My real crime wasn't killing.
It was to think my father was capable of hurting me - his own flesh and blood.
I misjudged him and I'll never get a chance to tell him how desperately sorry I am.
What about Debbie Thomas and Nick Patterson? You didn't mention their names.
When I arrived at the car park, I never left the top floor.
I never tried to escape.
Are you saying that you didn't kill Debbie Thomas and Nick Patterson? That's all I'm saying Detective Boyd.
You can figure the rest out for yourself.
You've already done that, haven't you? Well, I've had the time haven't I? Frankie.
.
.
I'm sorry about your father, Andrew.
I'll see you, Frankie, thank you.
Frankiewhat are you doing here? Well, he asked me to come.
Why? My God, I don't know.
Does it matter? No.
When you took Nick's gun, how many? Boyd, can't this wait? No.
How many rounds were left in the gun? off.
A magazine holds 17 rounds, so three bullets were used before the gun went into the ground.
Not necessarily, cos some people don't like having a full magazine in case it jams, so they'll only load 16.
16, OK.
And the bullets found in Nick Patterson and Debbie? What? Can you match the striations to Nick's gun? No, they're too crushed.
Why? That means we need to do a reconstruction of what happened in the stairwell with Andrew Cross.
No, but hang on a minute.
Are you sure he's up to that? Frankie, I really don't care.
Hi, Frankie.
Hi, Andrew.
I hope I can help with all this.
We're just down in the stairwell.
OK, this is where Nick Patterson and Debbie Thomas were killed.
Where were you when you heard the shots? I must've been two flights up.
So you were almost at the top, yeah? Yeah.
But I came straight back down.
And you didn't see Mackenzie? No.
How did Carl Mackenzie get back up to the top floor without passing you on the stairs? He must've gone back up through the ramps.
Yeah, but, your father and Beth Downing would have seen him.
Anyway, they cornered him on the top floor a minute later.
I'm just telling you what happened.
Carl Mackenzie said he never came down from the top floor.
Whitewater was your first big outing with the Firearms Unit, wasn't it? What made it your last? Did something go wrong? I'd trained for this a hundred times.
It didn't mean a thing.
My mind went blank.
All I could think about was how to stop shaking.
I just saw a face and I panicked.
I thought it was him.
I mean, I thought I was going to die.
Before I knew what I'd done, I'd killed her.
Nick was bent over her, checking her vital signs.
And when Nick turned back to look at me - the look on his face.
I knewwhat he thought about me, what he'd always thought about me, but was too smart to say because of my dad.
My dad was just up those stairs and I couldn't see the look on his face as well.
I couldn't.
Man down! Man down! Sorry.
He exists or he existed.
He could have been unlucky enough to have his van nicked by a mass murderer.
He never reported it.
A second man might explain how Patterson's gun disappeared.
No.
An accomplice is unlikely - spree killers usually act alone.
He could have done it.
Mackenzie could be innocent.
You forget Martin Corgan saw Carl Mackenzie shoot his wife.
Well, I mean, that's what HE said, yeah.
And we don't have any reason to not believe it, do we? Don't we? I don't No.
He could have said he saw Mackenzie for revenge.
That's a bit out there.
Just come back in for a second.
Robert Cross is adamant that there was not a second man at the scene.
Do we trust Cross? Yes.
More than Nesbit.
Nesbit buried the man as a suspect.
Our priority is to find out why.
I agree.
OK, thanks.
It's official.
Mackenzie's got leave to appeal.
DS Jordan.
John Nesbit.
This way.
Mr Nesbit, Carl Mackenzie has been given leave to appeal.
No! Well, I'll do everything I can to help.
That would be good.
Do you remember the vehicle Mackenzie used? A VW camper.
Why? We're trying to trace this man.
He bought the camper van from a car dealer in Essex the day before the massacre, but in your report, he says it was stolen.
You threatened the dealer with some DVLC misdemeanours if he failed to corroborate the theft story.
I didn't want to jeopardise Mackenzie's conviction.
You weren't curious who this other man was?! If you want Mackenzie where he belongs, walk away from this.
What's funny? That's what Robert Cross said to me.
Robert Cross? Yeah.
How did you and Robert get on? He doesn't speak very highly of you.
He says that you carried out a lousy, complacent investigation.
Did he really say that? I'm afraid so.
Does that piss you off, just ever so slightly? Yeah, it does a bit.
You thought you and Robert were a team, working together to put Carl Mackenzie away.
Yeah? Robert had lost a man - Nick Patterson.
I respected that.
Because I knew it was him.
I knew it was Carl Mackenzie.
His picture was plastered all over the papers! You didn't even pick him out of a line-up! You lied to make it up to your wife, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU? (Didn't you?) Hi, Mel.
Hi.
Is that Nick Patterson's? Mm-hm.
What can I do for you? Nothing.
You all right? Yeah.
No, I'm fine.
I'll see you later.
OK.
Hi.
Grace! What have you got there? Listen to this.
In 1992, Reynolds Mining established a copper mine on an island off the coast of Kenya which left 1,000 people homeless.
Grace The islanders fled to the mainland leaving behind men to oppose the mine.
A year later, they found these men buried, and all 50 had been shot through the head.
(God!) Reynolds Mining denied it and the UN believed them.
But Mel! Two massacres either side of the world and the Reynolds family involved in both! What d'you think? It's amazing.
I'll read it later.
You felt you had to give Cross a role in the case? He'd lost a man.
Was it Robert Cross who told you not to go after this man? Yes.
So you signed off on a hand search of Whitewater Common that never happened? You never checked a word of Mackenzie's story, did you? So what? It was a pack of lies.
Did Robert Cross obstruct your investigation in any other way? We could arrest you for perverting the course of justice.
Then why don't you? Mackenzie's lawyers'd be delighted.
Look.
It's not about us versus you, we're not trying to ruin your retirement, but if you don't help us, Mackenzie will walk, guilty or not.
Is that what you want? Of course not.
So tell us the role Robert Cross played in the investigation, then.
The first thing Robert wanted was to meet the witness, the bloke who saw Mackenzie kill his wife.
Martin Corgan? Yes.
But he was still in hospital with shock.
Did Robert Cross say why he wanted to meet him? No.
Then later, he was all over the crime scene like a rash.
So Robert Cross had the opportunity to move Nick Patterson's gun? And why would he do that? Answer my question.
Nick was Robert's deputy, his friend.
Answer the question.
Yes, he would.
Did Cross intimidate anyone else? Forensics? Pathologists? Not to my knowledge.
Did it never cross your mind that Robert Cross could've been trying to cover something up? Well, of course it did.
But I swear to God I don't know.
Andrew, hi.
Hi.
I thought I'd come and see how you were getting on.
Ohwell, I'm fine.
I'm busy.
Actually, I came to offer some more unofficial advice.
Oh, OK.
In the original investigation, they found no evidence that Mackenzie had previous firearms experience.
I know that.
Do you realise how remarkable it is? Beth said anyone could've done it with that gun.
Not from that distance.
And nine kills from, by then, 26 bullets puts him in a military class.
Wasn't it raised at the trial? The prosecution said it was a fluke.
You don't buy that? In 1991, a Palestinian terrorist walked into a restaurant with the exact same gun.
He used 90 bullets to kill eight people.
Most of them missed - that was an experienced gunman at close range.
'When we got to the car, my wife got in the driving seat while I was putting the shopping in the back.
'Just as I shut the boot GUNSHOT ' "Help me!" ' That's what she said - ' "Help me.
" 'She was crying out for me and I just couldn't move '(What did you see?)' Helpme.
'It could have been anyone, that's the truth.
'Why did you lie? 'I knew it was Carl Mackenzie.
His picture was in the papers! 'You didn't even pick him out of a line-up, did you? When I saw him in court 'You lied to make it up to your wife! DIDN'T YOU?' GUNSHOT 'Didn't you? 'Yes.
'(Yes.
)' Boyd, coat! OK.
Why are you here? To see Dr Wharton.
About what? Mackenzie's lack of firearms experience.
You may want to hear No.
You need my permission to be here.
Er, that's not exactly true.
I thinkI'd better go.
I'm so sorry.
It's OK.
Thank you.
I'd I'd like a word with you, please.
Sure.
In here, please.
If you'd like to sit down.
Thank you.
Your father gave me a thorough rundown on what happened at Whitewater.
Right.
Right.
I appreciate this might not be easy So, what d'you want to know? Why you felt so bad about what happened to Nick that you got a desk job.
I'm an instructor.
You didn't go to the funeral.
I blamed myself for his death.
Why? Why did you do that? Because I was his partner, and he got shot.
How's that? It's all right.
It's all right.
That's not great, but that'sthat's all right.
Nick was a very dear friend to me.
I worked with him for three years.
He was stubborn, a pain in the neck, he was unpredictable.
But at the first sign of trouble, he'd be there pushing you out of the way, to get there first.
So? I don't see Nick stopping to baby-sit Debbie, with a battle on upstairs.
I can't square that in my head with the man that I knew.
Removing I see YOU volunteering for that, but not him.
It's not What d'you mean, you can see me volunteering for that? Calling me a coward? No.
No, I'm not, I Why don't you tell me, then, how you and Nick got separated? You're a coward if you can't.
Nick wasn't match fit.
That's why he stayed with the girl.
What was the matter? He'd been in a fight.
Who with? Some guy in a pub.
Some guy in a pub? He was vague about it.
I don't see what difference it makes now.
Andrew Cross is leaving.
ANDREW! Andrew? Justjust come here, would you, please? Empty your pockets.
You what? Empty your pockets.
RATTLE OF LOOSE CHANGE OK, turn around.
Turn around! Ooh! Happy? Thank you.
You sure? Mm-hm.
What are you doing? Anybody been in here? I don't think so.
What Andrew Cross was saying I don't care.
He's trying to help! No, he's not.
Do you know something I don't? Not now! You look like you're going to cry.
I might.
I don't think I could handle it.
Do me a favour.
What? Get out of here.
Oh! FRANKIE! Postmortem report on Nick Patterson.
Why? OK.
(Olly!) Guy.
What happened, Olly? Where did you go? That's not what I came to talk about, Guy.
Did you kill those people in Whitewater? Would you feel more or less guilty if I did? I feel guilty either way.
Aw! Don't blame yourself, Guy.
I have to know what happened.
The African girl is a stunner.
Glad to see you've developed a belated respect for the natives.
Get out! Don't worry, I am getting out.
AustraliaFlorida somewhere hot.
You want money? I want what you owe me for Mackenzie.
You didn't finish the job.
That's a tall order, given he's in prison.
In a couple of weeks that might've changed.
Wire me ã500,000 to this account and you never see me again.
my enforced retirement, the losses made by Stonegate Security.
Not a penny until I know what happened.
You don't have a choice.
Don't I? See you later, Guy.
Yeah? Ah, yes.
There was evidence from the PM on Nick Patterson that he'd suffered a beating prior to his death.
Could have been a fight? Well, no.
The report describes "intense bruising to the chest and stomach".
The PM photographs support that.
I could show you them, but perhaps you'd rather not.
Don't be ridiculous! Come on.
OK.
I thought he might've suffered the bruising after he was shot because he'd fallen down the stairwell.
But? Those injuries are recorded elsewhere - they were to his back.
So a fight seems unlikely? You'd expect to see something on the face or the neck, wouldn't you? Would you? Well, like cuts, bruises, scratches.
And there's nothing.
It's that way round.
I need to talk to you.
I need to talk to YOU.
Look.
Can I read it later? That's what Mel said.
Reynolds Mining linked to tribe massacre.
Two massacres - Reynolds family connected with both.
He went to Africa to rehearse? You won't consider Mackenzie as innocent! I'll consider anything.
Grace, listen.
Before Nick died, I knew he was having an affair, but he wouldn't tell me who with.
I think it was a member of his unit.
Not the woman who shot Mackenzie? Yeah.
Beth Downing.
ButI don't know if his wife knew about it.
Oh.
Well, is that important now? Mm-hm.
Why? Nick's postmortem.
Andrew Cross said that Nick had a fight in the pub the night before.
But Frankie thinks this is more like a beating.
Internal discipline? Yeah, that sort of thing.
Didn't that thing go out with the Flying Squad? I thought so.
But I'm going to have to talk to his wife, aren't I? Boyd go home, sleep on it.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
OK? Sure.
DOG BARKS Hi.
Can I come in? Yes, sure.
Mackenzie's going to get off, isn't he? Not necessarily.
I can't explain how Nick was shot with his own gun and that's what we're trying to understand here.
'Reuters, Moscow.
' Oh, hello.
Can I speak to Howard Boorstin, please? 'Just a moment, please.
' This is Howard.
'Hello, Howard, my name's Dr Grace Foley.
' I'm with the Cold Case Squad, London Metropolitan Police.
I dug up an article of yours on the internet about Reynolds Mining and an island off the coast of Kenya.
Uh-huh.
Do you remember the article? Vaguely.
You imply a connection between Reynolds Mining and the massacre.
No, I don't.
That's your interpretation.
Dr Foley I'll call you back through the Scotland Yard switchboard.
What mood was Nick in on the morning of the massacre? I don't know.
You mean you couldn't tell? Where was he? I don't know.
Are you sure you don't know? I can't talk about this.
Did Robert Cross tell you not to? Just go.
So, before he Before he died, Nick told me that he was having an That he was seeing someone.
Was it Beth Downing? Yes.
As soon as I met her, I saw the future.
As if he could resist HER! So the night before he died, he was with Beth Downing? No.
Well, where was he, then? It had been going on for months I was going crazy.
Nick didn't care I knew any more.
He was staying over with her.
So I called Robert Cross.
Robert was the only person Nick ever really listened to.
And what did Robert say? He calmed me down and promised me he would deal with it.
But nothing changed.
Did you call him again? Yes.
He was furious.
When was this? It was two days before the massacre.
He said this time he would really deal with it.
Nick didn't come home that night.
I didn't see him the day before he died and it was my own stupid fault! So that's why he never returned my calls.
Don't blame Robert.
I don't.
I told him to do it.
I told him to do whatever it took to stop them.
Did you ever find any hard evidence? Not that I remember.
I think Reynolds contracted a security company at some point.
'A security company?!' Yeah.
Mercenaries, basically.
You didn't mention that in the article.
My editor was worried about getting sued.
Do you remember the name of the security company? I think it was British.
I've got it in a file over at my storage unit.
Where's that? 'Near Heathrow.
'But I won't be back from Moscow till Thanksgiving.
' (Shit!) Is there anyone that could let ME in? Can you give me some inkling as to what this is about, Grace? I'm sorry.
I can't at the moment.
Will there be a story in it for me? 'I sincerely hope so!' I suppose I could contact the manager of the storage unit, let him know you were coming.
'The name Whitewater will linger long in public memory.
'Sergeant Patterson was among 14 people murdered in the massacre.
' 'The disappearance of his gun was one of many unanswered questions.
' PHONE RINGS Yeah, hello.
'Peter, Robert Cross.
' Hi.
What do you want? 'Don't take this the wrong way, but your investigation could be doing more harm than good.
' Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
You could be playing into Mackenzie's hands.
Uh-huh? 'Like I said, I don't want you to take this the wrong way.
' Don't worry, I won't.
'Why not come over first thing, and we'll talk?' OK.
'Good.
'Bye, then.
See you tomorrow.
' Mm-hm.
Bye.
You're going to make the appeal? Of course! I've taken time off work.
That's very good of you, sis.
Who else is coming? Uncle Chris? I think he's going to be on holiday.
LookI don't want you getting your hopes up.
Why not? Don't you think the truth will out this time? I hope so.
Stopsaying hope, Fiona.
It's not to do with hope.
It's to do with right and wrong and facts.
If you're not positive, how on earth d'you expect ME to be? I AM positive! Good.
So have you cleared the spare room out for me yet? Yes.
Look me in the eye.
Have you cleared it out? No.
I thought it might be tempting fate, like it might jinx things.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
No, I'M sorry.
I'll clear it out tonight.
I know I should be pessimistic, but it's very difficult, it's hard.
I think maybe I'll get out of here and I'll feel the sun on my face and take my little sister to New York.
We'd have to make some money first.
Yeah, well, I'll, er I'll write a book.
But you're right.
One step at a time.
Thank you very much.
DIALS PHONE NUMBER Hi, Howard.
.
.
Hi, it's Grace, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I'm in.
I hope it's not too much of a horror story.
'No, no.
' It's a bit like my spare room, really.
Now, who's this in this photograph? Is that you with the beard or you with the tattoos? Which would you rather? 'That's a bit of an unfair question.
' It's me with the tattoos, then.
Right.
So where's this file? Morning, sir! Thank you.
Robert.
BOYD: Tell me about this.
What did you do to him? Nick was seeing someone in the unit.
Her? Yes, me.
I gave him a warning - he ignored it.
What kind of unit are you running? I don't expect you to understand.
Why don't you try me? Haveyou ever taken a bullet? That would help me to understand(?) Before I joined the Force, I was in the Marines - the same applied.
It was every man for every man, but put two people in love in there So you beat up one of your own men? I could have thrown him out of the unit.
What did Nick do after all this? Nothing.
Nothing? He knew he had it coming.
Afterwards, he just crashed out on the floor.
And the next day, you let him go to Whitewater? I tried to stop him, but it was useless.
Now, if you knew Nick at all, you'd understand that.
Sorry, Howard, but I can't find it.
Really? Shit.
I mean, are they filed alphabetically or chronologically? More like randomly.
Sorry.
SHE SIGHS Waitertry the box files over by the light switch.
OK.
Yeah, well done.
Reynolds Mining and Mokardi Island.
That's it! Just a minute.
Grace? Stonegate Security.
Good Lord! Oliver Lewis.
I get the feeling you're lying.
About what? What happened in the car park.
Martin Corgan is the principal eyewitness against Carl Mackenzie.
He has withdrawn his testimony.
He's supplied new testimony, which we've given to Mackenzie's lawyers.
I thought you were Nick's friend.
Don't you understand? The only person to identify Carl Mackenzie has withdrawn his testimony! So what else is Martin saying? He saw Beth shoot Mackenzie unarmed.
(Shit!) And what else? I think you should tell ME.
When I heard Andrew shouting "Man down!" I knew it was Nick and I knew whoever was responsible wasn't leaving that car park alive.
GUNSHOT Armed police! Put your weapon down! There's a myth that gunshot victims are thrown back by a bullet.
But it's a myth.
You threw him over? And he still survived.
As Nick's friend, would you do any different? So you shot him unarmed? Lookit was Mackenzie, all right? I'm telling you, there was no-one else there, no accomplice, no second man, no-one! So, what are you going to do with us? I honestlydon't know.
PHONE RINGS Excuse me.
Yeah? 'Grace has identified the man Carl Mackenzie says abducted him.
'His name's Oliver Lewis, ex-SAS,' used to run a security company called Stonegate Security, employed by Reynolds Mining in Africa.
OK, I'll be right there.
If Mackenzie wins his appeal, this man disappears, if he hasn't already.
DOOR SLAMS Carry on.
What do we know about Lewis apart from the fact that he's done dirty work for Guy Reynolds in the past? He can get hold of exotic guns.
Yeah, and HE knows how to use them.
What about the company? Stonegate shut up shop one month after the massacre.
Surprise(!) Lewis is a mercenary, not a psycho.
He works for money, right? But why would Reynolds pay him to kill people? Is Guy Reynolds a psychopath as well? Well, no.
No.
He doesn't show the behavioural criteria.
Thank you.
Our job is to review all the evidence.
Do you actually want to find out the truth? - Yes.
- I don't believe you any more.
What did you say to me? Look, the bottom line is we know Lewis played some role at Whitewater.
Can we bring him in? No.
Why? If Mackenzie's lawyers know we've got another suspect, he's out.
Is that a problem? We don't know enough about Lewis.
So what do YOU suggest? Are you working with me? He's home.
Stick with him, Spence.
Just keep watching him, OK? Yep.
OK.
Tube of glue, all right? Hang on, he's off again.
Form as usual, Spence.
OK.
Thanks.
Looks like he's pissed off.
Are you sure this guy was in the SAS? SILVER: 'I ran a DSS check.
He's on disability allowance.
' What's the matter with him? 'Injuries sustained in a fall.
' OK.
He's outside Guy Reynolds' house.
'Has he got the bag with him?' Yes.
He's armed.
'He's got a gun?' Yes, he has.
'Don't do anything.
Stay there.
' Good luck.
Take care.
Thank you, son.
But, if you go to the appeal, it'll be in the papers, won't it? Well, so what? So everything we did to distance ourselves from him - like giving money to the survivors' group - will be rightly thrown in our face.
Of course you're right.
RUSTLING Poor old Guy.
Hello, Mrs Reynolds.
I'm an old friend of Guy's.
Jesus.
I've been checking my balance all day, Guy.
It's still a very disappointing ã822.
All right.
What's going on? I want the rest for Mackenzie, now.
Mackenzie? What's he saying? Don't listen.
It's just a phone call.
Now, all right? Thank you.
That's more like it.
From the Swiss bank account, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Right, that's it - all done.
You ARE a man of your word.
Why are you paying him? Shut up! What did he do? Why did he say Mackenzie? Kneel down, both of you.
No - he's going to kill us! Kneel down! Armed police! Drop your weapon! Man down! Man down! Guv'nor's down.
Guv'nor's been shot.
.
.
fell a metre from the door.
This is a crime scene.
It's OK.
He's my father.
I know he's dead.
Wait till everyone's gone Jesus Christ! .
.
then you can see him properly.
.
.
C'mon, please.
Dead cert Mackenzie's out.
Yeah, well, maybe he should be.
Yeah, maybe he should.
Did you pay Oliver Lewis to murder Carl Mackenzie? No, I did not.
So why was he at your house? Your mother said it was to do with a payment.
You have no right to intimidate my mother.
We didn't.
She volunteered the information.
She told us Lewis was quite specific what he wanted from you.
You owed him the rest for Mackenzie.
The rest.
Now, you know what's going to happen.
It won't be easy, but we will find proof of that first payment - whether it was electronic transfer, cash, diamondswhatever.
We will find it, all right? So why don't you save time and start telling us the truth? These injuries explain the disability benefit, but I doubt he sustained them in a fall.
My guess is that he was stabbed several times in the chest.
What? The knife you found on Whitewater Common, there was blood on it? Yes.
Look, I know what you really want to know and I don't know the answer.
Did Carl Mackenzie carry out the Whitewater Massacre? What did Oliver Lewis say? He didn't.
I never heard from him until this week.
Even though you owed him half his money? Well, technically I didn't, but I was surprised not to hear from him, yes.
What did you think when you didn't hear from him? I thoughthis pride must have been injured.
I thought the job had gone wrong, he'd underestimated Carl, and Carl had somehow got the better of him.
The blood on the kitchen knife belongs to Lewis.
OK, so Lewis follows Carl Mackenzie around for a few days, finds out where he goes, what he does, and chooses his moment to move in for the kill Yes, but what he doesn't know is that Carl suffers from paranoid personality disorder, which means he's hypervigilant.
And you have to remember he felt fear when there was nothing to worry about.
But he's convinced his father wanted to destroy him.
- Because of his engagement.
- Which you can understand.
So Oliver Lewis strikes when Carl's out on the Common, but Carl stabs him and takes his gun.
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Explain the kill ratio to me, because Andrew Cross said it puts the gunman in a military class.
Adrenaline rush - dissociation.
It heightens the human senses.
Yeah.
Like when a passenger can land a jumbo jet in a disaster situation.
It also dulls the emotional impact.
It's a clinical condition.
It's been suggested in other spree killings.
So for them, accuracy means they feel nothing if a bullet actually kills someone.
Exactly.
Do we still think Mackenzie's guilty? It's what we can PROVE.
Oliver Lewis can get Mackenzie out of jail.
Really? What about Martin Corgan? Didn't he see Mackenzie shoot his wife in the car park? No.
No, he didn't.
He came in and retracted his statement.
He was hiding behind a car and he didn't see anything.
What? Why didn't you tell us? Sorry.
I should have done.
It slipped my mind.
Slipped your mind? It happens.
Does it? .
.
That's appalling! I'm sorry, Grace.
Boyd! So our principal witnesses are dead, discredited or they've withdrawn their statements.
Wow.
Welcome home, Carl.
Well, nono.
There's one more witness.
Fiona, did your brother display signs of violence as a child? No.
We know that your parents asked their GP to have Carl mentally assessed when he was 17.
What event made them do that? Leave me alone.
Did it involve you? No, he loved me.
It was your father, wasn't it? Carl attacked your father, didn't he? You know Carl killed your parents but can't face it because you don't want to admit it was your fault.
Is that right? That's rubbish.
Is it? Can you describe this voice you heard downstairs before your parents were shot? I said it was a stranger.
What were they saying? Why? So you do remember? Are you sure it wasn't someone you knew? I want to leave now.
Well, you can't.
If Carl wins his appeal, he'll be coming out.
I know that.
I'm not stupid.
How do you feel? Never mind.
Are you scared of him coming home .
.
what he might do to you? You're the witness.
He might hurt you.
Does that make you feel frightened? You've told us, haven't you? He could come home and hurt you.
Are you frightened, Fiona? (Are you?) It's all right, Fiona.
It's OK to be scared.
It was your brother, wasn't it, that you heard shouting at your parents? Was it, Fiona? Was it? I need to hear you say it, Fiona.
Yes.
.
.
Yes.
SHE SOBS I heard them rowing Why are you following me? Why are you FOLLOWING me? Carl, put the gun down! What have I done for you to hate me so much? You're mad - it's all in your head! No, no! TWO GUNSHOTS Go back upstairs.
Thank you, Fiona.
Unfortunately, we can no longer depend on your sister's testimony.
My sister? Yes, I'm as surprised as you are.
I don't understand.
We don't need her testimony.
Actually, we do.
At your trial, she testified that she heard a stranger's voice before your parents were shot.
Yes? It's not just a case of her withdrawing her original testimony.
Fiona intends to enter a revised one, which will have to be heard at your appeal.
She'll perjure herself.
Yes.
Right I think I should speak to Fiona.
I don't think she wishes to speak to you, Carl.
Of course she will.
This may not necessarily affect the outcome of the appeal.
What? What appeal? What? I don't care about the appeal, you stupid! Come on, Carl, we must be positive Agh! Tell Boyd I'd like to speak to him! Tell Boyd I'd like to speak to him now, please! Tell him! Thanks, Frankie.
OK, come on.
I haven't had a chance to look at the post-mortem report.
Andrew, he died instantly, OK? He didn't suffer.
Anything on the ballistics side you want me to look at? Not necessary.
Andrew, can I ask you a question? Sure.
Why are you always trying to help me so much? I'm sorry if I Oh, no, no, no.
I'm not ungrateful, honestly.
I'm just curious.
I want to help you find the truth.
AndI like your company.
Thanks.
Frankiedo you think you could come to Dad's funeral? It would mean so much to me.
OK.
Sure.
I killed Emma Corgan Michael Coulson .
.
Lucy Magee, John Pritchard Susan Heather, Malcolm Foster, Bhupen Shah Jill Williams William Glass, Nick Glass .
.
and my parents, Brian and Linda Mackenzie.
My real crime wasn't killing.
It was to think my father was capable of hurting me - his own flesh and blood.
I misjudged him and I'll never get a chance to tell him how desperately sorry I am.
What about Debbie Thomas and Nick Patterson? You didn't mention their names.
When I arrived at the car park, I never left the top floor.
I never tried to escape.
Are you saying that you didn't kill Debbie Thomas and Nick Patterson? That's all I'm saying Detective Boyd.
You can figure the rest out for yourself.
You've already done that, haven't you? Well, I've had the time haven't I? Frankie.
.
.
I'm sorry about your father, Andrew.
I'll see you, Frankie, thank you.
Frankiewhat are you doing here? Well, he asked me to come.
Why? My God, I don't know.
Does it matter? No.
When you took Nick's gun, how many? Boyd, can't this wait? No.
How many rounds were left in the gun? off.
A magazine holds 17 rounds, so three bullets were used before the gun went into the ground.
Not necessarily, cos some people don't like having a full magazine in case it jams, so they'll only load 16.
16, OK.
And the bullets found in Nick Patterson and Debbie? What? Can you match the striations to Nick's gun? No, they're too crushed.
Why? That means we need to do a reconstruction of what happened in the stairwell with Andrew Cross.
No, but hang on a minute.
Are you sure he's up to that? Frankie, I really don't care.
Hi, Frankie.
Hi, Andrew.
I hope I can help with all this.
We're just down in the stairwell.
OK, this is where Nick Patterson and Debbie Thomas were killed.
Where were you when you heard the shots? I must've been two flights up.
So you were almost at the top, yeah? Yeah.
But I came straight back down.
And you didn't see Mackenzie? No.
How did Carl Mackenzie get back up to the top floor without passing you on the stairs? He must've gone back up through the ramps.
Yeah, but, your father and Beth Downing would have seen him.
Anyway, they cornered him on the top floor a minute later.
I'm just telling you what happened.
Carl Mackenzie said he never came down from the top floor.
Whitewater was your first big outing with the Firearms Unit, wasn't it? What made it your last? Did something go wrong? I'd trained for this a hundred times.
It didn't mean a thing.
My mind went blank.
All I could think about was how to stop shaking.
I just saw a face and I panicked.
I thought it was him.
I mean, I thought I was going to die.
Before I knew what I'd done, I'd killed her.
Nick was bent over her, checking her vital signs.
And when Nick turned back to look at me - the look on his face.
I knewwhat he thought about me, what he'd always thought about me, but was too smart to say because of my dad.
My dad was just up those stairs and I couldn't see the look on his face as well.
I couldn't.
Man down! Man down! Sorry.
