Law and Order: UK (2009) s04e01 Episode Script
ID
In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups.
The police, who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecutors, who prosecute the offenders.
These are their stories.
The killing of Yvonne Macy and her unborn child was an act of unparalleled evil.
You and Darren Pierce left a young teacher to bleed to death after subjecting her to the most horrific and unprovoked attack.
Billy Wells, the sentence I pass is that you be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure for a minimum of 12 years, and until such a time as the Home Secretary is satisfied that you are fully rehabilitated and no longer a danger.
No, please.
No! No, please.
Time of death somewhere between six and seven.
Impact marks on the side of the car.
Whoever did this beat her head against it till she was dead.
Nice.
Thanks, Joy.
Do we know who she is yet? Bag's missing, that was in the road.
She's a doctor? Junior house officer.
Alice Cullen.
Been qualified six months.
All those lives she could have saved.
Law and Order UK Season 4, Episode 3- "I.
D.
" The attack happened between the cars, so it doesn't show up on the cameras.
No-one saw anything? No-one heard her scream? They reckon it was over in a couple of minutes.
And Ron, you reckon she knew her attacker? Her head was bashed against her car door until she stopped breathing.
I'd say that was personal.
Anything missing from her bag? Uniform found everything, except her keys.
So, whoever it was uses her key to get in and then leaves all the stuff that would be easiest to shift.
Maybe she's got something worth more than money.
Ronnie, here.
Yeah? Looks like it wasn't just Alice that he killed.
Post-mortem confirmed Alice was ten weeks pregnant.
Forensics found a couple of dark hairs on her clothes - they've gone for DNA analysis.
Any news on prints in her flat? Two sets all over the place.
One confirmed as Alice's.
A neighbour reckons she has a fiance who stays sometimes.
We suspect the second set are his.
Yeah.
He's here, waiting in reception with her parents.
They did the formal ID this morning.
Mrs Cullen, can you think of anything in Alice's flat that someone may have wanted? Addicts break into doctors' flats, don't they, looking for drugs? Does it matter what he took? There's only one thing we want back.
And he can't give it to us.
Did you know that Alice was pregnant? She called us the second they finished the scan.
She couldn't keep it in a moment longer.
Alice was our only child.
We'll never be grandparents.
Mr Nash We're ready for you now.
We were going to meet in Chinatown to celebrate.
I was going to be a dad.
I know, mate.
Do we have to do this now? I'm sorry.
What do you need mine for? So we can sort the prints that should be in your fiancee's flat from those that shouldn't.
Joe seems like a nice lad.
They've been inseparable since Joe started at the hospital.
He's a doctor? No, er he's a hospital porter.
He's a nice lad.
It's her last boyfriend you should be asking about, not Joe.
And why's that? So, Alice had six visits to casualty in the last two years.
The last time a cracked rib, fractured cheekbone.
We broke up two years ago.
Maybe you had some unfinished business.
Is that why you shot to London when she announced her engagement in The Times? We opened an office in the City.
So, what are you, then? Merchant banker? Investment banker.
Did you know Alice was living in London? Her parents made sure no-one in Edinburgh knew where they were.
Right, so, you did try to find her? I asked around.
But I got over it.
I've moved on.
You're in a relationship, then? Several.
It didn't bother you that she was getting engaged? I didn't lose any sleep over it.
Come on.
She was your favourite possession and she dumps you.
And now she ended up with some bloke down here, having his kid.
Her mum reckoned it was all she'd ever wanted.
Her own little family.
It wouldn't have lasted.
She'd have run home to Daddy the minute she didn't get her own way.
And what, you went after her? You know, to tell her she was making a mistake? Is that what you did - wait outside the hospital? Follow her into the car park? No.
And when she wouldn't talk to you, you tried to make her listen.
I had a problem.
But I've changed.
Is that what you tried to show her - how much you'd changed? Look, I've had five K's worth of anger management.
You've been done, mate.
I didn't do this.
Well, then, you won't mind us asking where you were on Sunday night between six and seven pm? Showing my PA who's boss.
His PA has confirmed that they were at it for the best part of two hours.
I'm in the wrong job.
Could she be covering for him? No.
The security guard puts them both in his office when Alice was killed.
What about the fiance? Has he got a record? Nicking cars as a kid.
Nothing since.
Get Manchester to send his file.
Has he got an alibi? Claims he was in Chinatown.
No? Thank you.
So, no-one remembers Joe Nash.
That's because he was never here.
So, why don't we chase up his phone records, find out where he really was? Right, well, Joe Nash made three phone calls on the Sunday night.
None of those calls was to Alice Cullen and none of them were from Chinatown.
So, who did he call? Ermhe called Daniela Renzo, psychiatric social worker.
Right.
So, where are you going? Well, these three calls put Joe at the murder scene half an hour before the killing, near Alice Cullen's flat at the time of the break-in, and finally, up here, at Daniela Renzo's gaff, just in time for bed.
He was having an affair? Let's put it to the test.
Let's see how this grieving fiance fancies appearing on the ten o'clock news.
An appeal? Public see the heartbreak, they're more likely to come forward.
Her mum and dad would be better.
We think it'd be more emotional coming from you.
Wouldn't be any good.
Don't you want to help us catch whoever did this? Of course I do, but all those people watching I wouldn't know what to say.
I'm sorry.
You'll have to ask someone else.
Joe's a client.
Nothing more.
Right, so, he has psychiatric issues? Joe suffered a severe childhood trauma.
He still has nightmares and depression.
What was his relationship like with his fiancee? You know I can't say.
It's a little thing called client confidentiality.
Well, we're investigating a little thing called murder.
Your client's fiancee was beaten to death on Sunday night.
You didn't know? Oh, God.
Poor Joe.
He must be devastated.
You know he was here? Sunday night.
You see clients at home? Sometimes.
Joe didn't want Alice to know about our appointments.
It was easier to keep them quiet if he came to me.
Why would he want to keep them quiet? I've been helping Joe for six years.
He's known Alice for two.
He just wasn't ready to share that part of himself with her.
They were getting married.
And married men don't have secrets? The truth is, I think he was hoping he could get to a place where he didn't need to tell her.
What time did he arrive? Six.
He called first at about 5:30.
And he left about eight.
But if he was here, why did he call you twice after he left? He left his jacket.
I was in the bath the first time he called.
Look, I can vouch for Joe.
He was here with me.
If she was my social worker, I'd be calling her three times a night too.
And she gave him an alibi without us even asking.
It's a shame it wasn't the same one he gave us.
He says he's in Chinatown, nibbling prawn crackers, when he was nibbling something else.
I was ashamed.
Of needing a social worker? Of needing a psychiatric social worker.
I have a sleep disorder.
Lucid dreaming? It was Dani's idea.
So I could learn to control my nightmares.
Kill the monster that's chasing you.
Or turn it into a mouse.
So, you didn't meet Alice for dinner at all? You were with Dani? After my appointment with Dani, I went to the restaurant, but I was too late.
I went to Alice's flat, but she weren't there, so I came home.
And then went back to Dani's to collect your jacket? Yeah.
My wallet was in the pocket.
So, how were you going to pay for your Chinese? I didn't realise it was missing until I got to the restaurant.
It's the sleep deprivation it makes me confused sometimes.
Look, I know you've got to ask these questions, but he's still out there, isn't he? Whoever did this to Alice.
I just want you to find him.
Not enough to do an appeal? Did you notice the way he dressed? Smart shoes, no laces.
Jeans, no belt.
Right? What about his bed? Hospital corners.
A blanket folded in a neat square on the end.
I know where you're going, but he spent three months inside for nicking cars.
He can't be institutionalised.
No, but - But he did have psych issues.
Maybe he learned that stuff on a psych ward, not in a prison.
No, no.
He's an ex-con, mate.
I can smell it a mile off.
OK.
Cheers.
If Joe Nash was ever a psychiatric in-patient, it wasn't in the UK.
Maybe it was in a military prison.
Or maybe he's just a neat freak.
Daniela's landlord lives above her.
Got his number.
He might remember if Joe was there that night.
This is weird.
What's that? Well, according to this file from Manchester, when Joe Nash got nicked for TWOCing, the arresting officer was Detective Sergeant Marvin Douglas.
So? Marvin Douglas was transferred back to London from Manchester six months before.
How do you know that? Because he was an usher at my second wedding, which took place a month after he got back.
Look at this.
Could be a clerical error.
That is Marvin's signature.
He couldn't have signed it six months after he left.
Why would anyone tamper with the archive? Well, you've got to admit, it is a bit suspect.
What's suspect is a loving fiance lying about where he was and refusing to take part in an appeal.
That was Daniela Renzo's landlord.
He took in a parcel for her on the day of the murder, kept trying to deliver it, but she was out all evening.
So, she wasn't in her flat having a session with Joe Nash at all.
Bring them both in.
She's either covering for him or they're both in it together.
Joe, you need to start telling us the truth, son.
All right.
I wasn't entirely honest with you before.
I lied because I knew what you'd think.
Me and Alice, we were going to meet at the restaurant.
But we had a fight at work.
And I got upset.
So, I rang Dani.
She didn't answer.
I left a message.
You can ask her.
So, you never went to Dani's flat? Not until much later.
I went round about 10:30.
I called her from outside, but she said she was going to bed.
She never let me in.
What did you and Alice argue about? It was just a stupid fight.
Was it about Dani? No.
But you fancied her though, didn't you? I mean, she's a classy-looking bird.
Who wouldn't? It's only natural.
I've got Alice.
I had Alice.
And yet, we are trying to find out who killed her, and you're not telling us everything.
What did you argue about, Joe? Were you and Daniela sleeping together? Did Alice find out? Can we stop this, please? Did the fight get physical? You hit her, she falls, you get angry.
Listen, Joe, we understand how these things happen.
No, that's not me.
I don't do that.
OK.
So, what did happen? I mean, look, mate, if you don't tell us, you can't really blame us for filling in the blanks, can you? I need some sleep.
Can we stop? Joe, what did you argue about? Please don't do this.
What was it? My diary.
Your diary? I thought she'd understand.
She said she was going to bring it.
She said it was in her bag.
She said I disgusted her.
She walked away from me.
You followed her into the car park, didn't you? Joe.
And you grabbed her while she was getting into the car.
Is that what happened? I never meant to.
What did you do to her, Joe? She was on the ground.
She was so scared.
Go on.
She was always picking on me.
And so you killed her? There was so much blood on my shoes.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
For the tape, then, please, Joe.
Yes.
I never meant to.
I should have stopped.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right, Joe.
You're more than just his social worker, aren't you? You have got no idea what you're asking.
Joe Nash, I am arresting you for the murder of Alice Cullen.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court Joe, would you like a brief? You don't understand.
.
.
may be given in evidence.
I'm not who you think I am.
I'm not Joe Nash.
They gave me the name Joe Nash and a pre-history thing and moved me down here.
I've got a new passport, a national insurance number.
The Home Office arranged it.
I was assigned to help Joe manage his new identity.
He's in witness protection? He's on life licence.
15 years ago, when we were 11, me and my mate, Darren Pierce, we .
.
we killed our teacher.
Yvonne Macy.
We were released six years ago on a life licence.
I'm not Joe Nash.
I'm Billy Wells.
Joe Nash spent three months in the same YOI as Billy Wells.
They shared a cell.
But why would he claim to be Billy Wells if he's not? Nash has a long history of psychiatric illness.
He's suffering from Delusional Disorder.
I was there when he was interviewed.
He was found fit for questioning.
I'm told those who suffer from Delusional Disorder appear quite normal.
You're 100% certain that he isn't Billy Wells? Yes, I am.
I've seen pictures taken of Billy Wells taken three weeks ago.
He has a wife and child and a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Even though I can tell you categorically that Joe Nash is not Billy Wells, any hint of his claims in the media and the public will be crying conspiracy theory.
And we'll be looking at a mistrial or grounds for appeal.
The Home Secretary is concerned about this being aired in public.
The Home Office is under pressure for a public referendum on the death penalty.
There simply cannot be a trial.
Well, is there any need for one? He's confessed.
Presumably he's pleading guilty.
Offer Nash a deal.
He pleads manslaughter, diminished responsibility, and gets a hospital order.
He could be out of a secure hospital in months.
We'll make sure he needs Ministry of Justice approval for any future release.
OK.
I'll put it to his brief.
It's an honour to meet you, Mr Steel.
You did a talk at my uni.
Law Claims Against The State.
Very inspiring.
I loved that George Eliot quote you started your lecture with.
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
Of course, he was on the right side then.
It was watching him in action that made me choose defence.
You can get my autograph later.
Eli, I'll come straight to the point.
In light of your client's mental health, the Crown will accept a plea to manslaughter, diminished responsibility.
You're serious? You're a good man, Mr Steel.
He's in a generous mood.
Say yes before he changes his mind.
I only just got the case.
I'm sure my client won't turn his nose up on an offer this good.
So, we've got a deal? Deal.
You are charged with manslaughter, contrary to common law.
The particulars of the offence are that you, Joseph Nash, unlawfully killed Alice Elizabeth Cullen.
To this charge, how do you plead - guilty or not guilty? Not guilty.
I thought we had a deal.
I know.
So, what happened? Did you plan this? No.
I swear, I had no idea he was going to do that.
He confessed.
How can he plead not guilty? I don't know.
He's your client.
How can you not know? How did this happen? I thought the deal was done and dusted.
Believe me, so did I.
Eli gave me his word.
DPP will have a hernia.
Especially when she hears this.
It seems Eli's had a sudden change of heart.
He's got to be joking.
It's no joke.
Eli's claiming Nash was coerced into confessing.
Take the deal.
Put this to a jury, the confession will send you to prison for life.
I don't deserve to be in prison.
I'm innocent.
First you claim to be Billy Wells and you admit to killing Alice.
Now you're not Wells, you're Joe Nash, and you didn't kill her.
He was confused when he made those claims.
He was also frightened by two coppers determined to hear what they wanted to hear.
You know what will happen if a jury hears the name Billy Wells? Whether he's called Billy Wells or Joe Nash, the truth is he didn't kill Alice Cullen.
I can't allow an innocent man to be locked up in a secure hospital for God knows how long.
I suggest you look at those confession tapes again, because those coppers took too much for granted.
Joe never actually said he killed Alice.
There was so much blood.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
OK.
For the tape, then, please, Joe.
Yes.
I never meant it to happen.
I should have stopped.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Eli's wrong.
Joe admits killing Alice.
Does he? She was always picking on me.
Darren didn't like it.
I wanted her to stop, but not like that.
She was on the ground.
She was so scared.
There was so much blood.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
Mm-hm? This is Billy Wells' confession from 1997.
Joe Nash isn't confessing to killing Alice Cullen.
He's talking about the murder of Yvonne Macy.
Joe did share a cell with Billy.
Yeah, but he didn't just tell the story, Alesha.
He's using exactly the same words.
Do you think he could really be Billy Wells? Look at the shape of the eyes, the way the mouth curls down at the corners.
If you saw my best mate as a kid, it could be me.
You're seeing what you want to see.
They're the same age, from Manchester.
Nash moved to London within three weeks of Wells's release.
I don't know.
Nash's record has more holes than a sieve.
The Home Secretary wants this kept out of court.
I never had you down as a conspiracy theorist, James.
There's just too many coincidences here.
I don't want to be right, Alesha.
Even if you are right, it doesn't change what he's done.
OK, if he's Joe Nash, then he's mentally ill and he should be in hospital.
But if he really is Billy Wells, then he's got form and we need to charge him accordingly.
We can adduce bad character evidence and make sure he's locked up for life without parole.
I just want to know, one way or the other.
His prints came from NAFIS as belonging to Joe Nash.
Did you ask NAFIS to double check them against Wells' prints? If those prints matched Wells, the Commissioner would be round here like a shot.
Joe talked about a diary in his confession.
It's not in evidence.
No.
It was never found.
For all we know, Nash destroyed it.
You've got Joe's DNA on file.
Can you check it against Billy Wells' DNA? 15 years ago, DNA profiles weren't saved digitally.
Yeah, I know.
But they must exist somewhere.
I looked at Billy Wells' file as soon as Joe Nash made his claim, and there is no DNA profile.
You don't think that's suspicious? We can't disclose those kind of details.
These are special circumstances.
We're talking about a psychiatric social worker specifically allocated to Billy Wells on his release.
Offenders like Billy Wells get new identities for their own protection.
If we handed out the sort of information you're asking for, we'd be putting the offender and the social worker at risk.
We know he was working with Daniela Renzo.
Surely you can just confirm that? I'm sorry.
Unless you get authority from the Home Secretary, it remains confidential.
Fine.
We'll talk to the Home Secretary.
And he'll come back to me for advice.
And I'll say no.
We're going round in circles with this.
You said you were assigned to help Billy Wells adjust to his new identity.
There's no record of it.
You'll need a signed letter from Joe giving consent before I disclose anything.
You talked to the police about it.
You know that's different.
Anyway, that was before I talked to Joe's barrister.
I'm a witness for the defence.
You can ask me whatever you like in court.
Joe Nash has been moved to the vulnerable prisoners' wing.
He was attacked yesterday.
Is he all right? A few cuts and bruises.
Apparently, some new prisoner just went for him in the dinner queue.
Do we know why? They reckon he saw Nash and just went crazy.
Do you think he recognised him? That's why I need to speak to Joe Nash right now.
You're Billy Wells, aren't you? Alice died in a car park outside her work, just like Yvonne Macy.
So? Both were pregnant.
That was my kid.
Both died from blows to the head.
I'd never hurt Alice.
I loved her.
She was on the ground.
There was so much blood.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
Who, Joe? Who was on the ground bleeding? Was it Alice or Yvonne? I didn't kill Yvonne Macy.
They died the same way.
No.
It's different.
What those boys did was sick.
It's no different.
Yvonne was left bleeding to death in a car park, her head beaten.
Yeah, with her knickers shoved in her mouth.
I couldn't do a sick thing like that! I am not Billy Wells.
Do you hear me? I'm not Billy Wells! Get me out of here! I want to go back to my cell! Get me out! There were certain details defence and prosecution agreed to keep out of court to save the husband's feelings.
But surely all the details of the offence were relevant to the trial? Some things those kids did the press would have made a meal of, painting them as would-be rapists.
Just look at the Wells file and answer me one question.
Was Yvonne Macy found with her underwear in her mouth? I don't need to look.
I know.
It's true? It wasn't reported.
It's not in the court transcript.
The only way he could know that is if he was there when Yvonne Macy was murdered.
Joe Nash is Billy Wells.
The game's changed, George.
Now we know Joe Nash is Billy Wells, he needs to be charged accordingly.
What difference does it make what his name is? He's done this before.
Why should he get the soft option? He would never have got out of hospital.
And no-one would ever be any the wiser? Is that so wrong? You don't think the public have a right to know the truth? And what do you think would happen then? I'm nobody's lapdog.
I won't cover this up so the Home Secretary saves face.
You really think that's all this is about? Isn't it? If this gets out, the whole criminal justice system comes under fire.
No child convicted at Her Majesty's pleasure will ever get the chance of release again.
This is about one case.
No, it's not, James, it's not.
67% of the public want to bring back the death penalty.
There are MPs lobbying for that right now.
This is the ammunition they need.
We can't be governed by fear of political fallout.
It's not up to us to decide his fate.
It's up to a jury.
Assuming Billy Wells gets a jury trial.
There's no risk of jury tampering.
There's a risk of trial by tabloid.
Do you really think we could find 12 good men and true who could try him without prejudice? This is exactly the kind of case that could push legislation into frightening territory.
It could spell the end of jury trials altogether.
Are you asking me to be a part of a cover-up? Sometimes the truth causes more harm than good.
Talk to Eli Smart again.
Maybe in light of this new information, you can persuade him to take the plea.
Oh, and James, do it before the DPP finds out what you've been up to, otherwise you could find yourself back in defence.
You didn't know? I swear, I thought he was loony tunes.
And now you know the truth? It changes nothing.
I was hired to defend Joe Nash, and that's what I'm doing, regardless of who he used to be.
This comes out, there is no way that he'll get a fair trial.
It's in everyone's interest to keep this out of court.
All right.
I'll book a visit.
Don't ask me how I got this.
Billy Wells' prison records.
I flagged up the last section.
It records identifying marks.
Billy Wells has a three-inch scar on his left arm from a suicide attempt.
I'm not Billy Wells.
Pull up your sleeve.
Pull up your sleeve.
I never tried to top myself.
I wouldn't do that.
Two lads held me down .
.
cut my vein with a shiv and left me for dead.
Everyone knew who I was.
They used to leave nooses hanging in my cell.
When I didn't get the message, they tried to do it themselves.
When I walked out of those gates, I vowed I'd never do anything to take me back there.
Yes I'm Billy Wells.
But I've done my time.
And I never killed Alice.
Who killed her? Maybe it was one of those lads.
Or maybe someone found out who I was and tried to frame me.
The DNA evidence is going to prove your guilt.
Just take the deal while you still can.
Or you'll stay in prison for the rest of your life.
I'm drowning in here.
Don't you think I'd take the deal if I could? Billy, you do realise this is your last chance to change your plea? Find my diary.
Read what prison did to me.
And if you still think I killed Alice .
.
I'll see you in court, Mr Steel.
Someone's got to have it.
They searched Alice's flat and Joe's bed-sit.
You think it's gone the same way as Wells' DNA? Ronnie and Matt supervised the search.
It would be in evidence.
Would the diary would have exposed Joe as Billy Wells? Yeah.
According to Eli, it had every detail of coming to terms with his crime.
Anyone who read it would know that he was Billy Wells.
Why are you doing this? I don't understand.
If you tell me what is it you're looking for, I can help.
Matt.
This is incredible.
It tells us everything we need to know.
He gave Alice the diary because he wanted her to know he was Billy Wells.
Which would have threatened his new identity.
Joe turned up in a right state.
He said he'd had a fight with Alice.
He gave me her keys and begged me to get the diary back for him.
I had no idea he'd killed her.
I went into her flat and I took the diary.
It was stupid, but that's all I did.
Charge me with theft if you like.
You won't mind this, will you? Why would I? I crossed the line.
I shouldn't never have allowed Joe to manipulate me like that.
Joe was vulnerable.
You were the one in the position of trust.
You have no idea what it's like working intimately with serious offenders.
Mark this as urgent.
We've got a DNA profile from the scene.
I'm not under arrest.
Sit down, Miss Renzo.
I'm free to go.
You're not going anywhere.
Sit down.
20 years I've worked in this job, and I've never once got too close.
You never worked with a killer like Billy Wells before.
Billy's no killer.
It was Darren Pierce who killed that teacher.
Billy didn't stop him.
Billy watched his dad kick the shit out of his mum every day of his life.
He was damaged.
And along you came to fix him.
Yeah.
He needed me.
So no-one came between you? Nobody came between us.
He told me everything, because I was his lifeline.
You didn't read his diary, then? They were his private thoughts.
I wouldn't do that.
I don't need Dani anymore.
All I need is you, Alice.
I told her yesterday I want to stop the appointments.
Joe wrote those words in a message to Alice the day she died.
He wouldn't have lasted five minutes without me.
You blamed her for taking him from you.
You're wrong.
You waited for her in the car park.
No.
You'll be psychoanalysing your cell mates in Cold Norton for the rest of your life.
Look, OK, I was there.
But only to talk to her.
They were making a mistake.
She didn't love him.
But he loved her, didn't he? And you couldn't stand it.
She couldn't love Billy Wells.
But you could? You went to tell her? I went for the diary.
She didn't have it.
I begged her to give it to me, but she wouldn't.
So, you attacked her? I grabbed her bag and she fell against the car door.
She hit her head.
It was an accident.
Alice's head was slammed against that car door over and over.
It wasn't an accident, Daniela.
Joe didn't ask you to get the diary for him.
In fact, he trusted you so implicitly he never suspected for one second you killed the woman he loved.
She said he was a monster.
But you're the real monster, aren't you? You killed Alice, didn't you? Didn't you? I just wanted her to shut up! She didn't deserve him.
He used to sit there on my sofa like a lost little boy.
Sometimes he sat so close to me I could smell the soap on his skin.
I wanted to hold him, tell him everything would be all right.
I told him he couldn't marry someone who didn't know who he really was.
And he thought I wanted him to tell her.
You knew better than anyone what prison did to Billy, but you were prepared to let him rot in there for the rest of his life to save your own skin.
I could have worked with him, made sure he was all right.
Don't you mean control him? Keep him dependent on you? What sort of love is that? He'd be lost without me.
Whatever happened in his life, good or bad, it was me that he came running to.
Did you know Alice was pregnant? Maybe he didn't tell you everything, after all.
Daniela Renzo, I am arresting you for the murder of Alice Cullen.
You do not have to say anything Billy Wells' release papers.
He's a free man.
Billy was found hanging in his cell two hours ago.
You can't blame yourself.
You believe that if it helps you sleep at night.
The police, who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecutors, who prosecute the offenders.
These are their stories.
The killing of Yvonne Macy and her unborn child was an act of unparalleled evil.
You and Darren Pierce left a young teacher to bleed to death after subjecting her to the most horrific and unprovoked attack.
Billy Wells, the sentence I pass is that you be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure for a minimum of 12 years, and until such a time as the Home Secretary is satisfied that you are fully rehabilitated and no longer a danger.
No, please.
No! No, please.
Time of death somewhere between six and seven.
Impact marks on the side of the car.
Whoever did this beat her head against it till she was dead.
Nice.
Thanks, Joy.
Do we know who she is yet? Bag's missing, that was in the road.
She's a doctor? Junior house officer.
Alice Cullen.
Been qualified six months.
All those lives she could have saved.
Law and Order UK Season 4, Episode 3- "I.
D.
" The attack happened between the cars, so it doesn't show up on the cameras.
No-one saw anything? No-one heard her scream? They reckon it was over in a couple of minutes.
And Ron, you reckon she knew her attacker? Her head was bashed against her car door until she stopped breathing.
I'd say that was personal.
Anything missing from her bag? Uniform found everything, except her keys.
So, whoever it was uses her key to get in and then leaves all the stuff that would be easiest to shift.
Maybe she's got something worth more than money.
Ronnie, here.
Yeah? Looks like it wasn't just Alice that he killed.
Post-mortem confirmed Alice was ten weeks pregnant.
Forensics found a couple of dark hairs on her clothes - they've gone for DNA analysis.
Any news on prints in her flat? Two sets all over the place.
One confirmed as Alice's.
A neighbour reckons she has a fiance who stays sometimes.
We suspect the second set are his.
Yeah.
He's here, waiting in reception with her parents.
They did the formal ID this morning.
Mrs Cullen, can you think of anything in Alice's flat that someone may have wanted? Addicts break into doctors' flats, don't they, looking for drugs? Does it matter what he took? There's only one thing we want back.
And he can't give it to us.
Did you know that Alice was pregnant? She called us the second they finished the scan.
She couldn't keep it in a moment longer.
Alice was our only child.
We'll never be grandparents.
Mr Nash We're ready for you now.
We were going to meet in Chinatown to celebrate.
I was going to be a dad.
I know, mate.
Do we have to do this now? I'm sorry.
What do you need mine for? So we can sort the prints that should be in your fiancee's flat from those that shouldn't.
Joe seems like a nice lad.
They've been inseparable since Joe started at the hospital.
He's a doctor? No, er he's a hospital porter.
He's a nice lad.
It's her last boyfriend you should be asking about, not Joe.
And why's that? So, Alice had six visits to casualty in the last two years.
The last time a cracked rib, fractured cheekbone.
We broke up two years ago.
Maybe you had some unfinished business.
Is that why you shot to London when she announced her engagement in The Times? We opened an office in the City.
So, what are you, then? Merchant banker? Investment banker.
Did you know Alice was living in London? Her parents made sure no-one in Edinburgh knew where they were.
Right, so, you did try to find her? I asked around.
But I got over it.
I've moved on.
You're in a relationship, then? Several.
It didn't bother you that she was getting engaged? I didn't lose any sleep over it.
Come on.
She was your favourite possession and she dumps you.
And now she ended up with some bloke down here, having his kid.
Her mum reckoned it was all she'd ever wanted.
Her own little family.
It wouldn't have lasted.
She'd have run home to Daddy the minute she didn't get her own way.
And what, you went after her? You know, to tell her she was making a mistake? Is that what you did - wait outside the hospital? Follow her into the car park? No.
And when she wouldn't talk to you, you tried to make her listen.
I had a problem.
But I've changed.
Is that what you tried to show her - how much you'd changed? Look, I've had five K's worth of anger management.
You've been done, mate.
I didn't do this.
Well, then, you won't mind us asking where you were on Sunday night between six and seven pm? Showing my PA who's boss.
His PA has confirmed that they were at it for the best part of two hours.
I'm in the wrong job.
Could she be covering for him? No.
The security guard puts them both in his office when Alice was killed.
What about the fiance? Has he got a record? Nicking cars as a kid.
Nothing since.
Get Manchester to send his file.
Has he got an alibi? Claims he was in Chinatown.
No? Thank you.
So, no-one remembers Joe Nash.
That's because he was never here.
So, why don't we chase up his phone records, find out where he really was? Right, well, Joe Nash made three phone calls on the Sunday night.
None of those calls was to Alice Cullen and none of them were from Chinatown.
So, who did he call? Ermhe called Daniela Renzo, psychiatric social worker.
Right.
So, where are you going? Well, these three calls put Joe at the murder scene half an hour before the killing, near Alice Cullen's flat at the time of the break-in, and finally, up here, at Daniela Renzo's gaff, just in time for bed.
He was having an affair? Let's put it to the test.
Let's see how this grieving fiance fancies appearing on the ten o'clock news.
An appeal? Public see the heartbreak, they're more likely to come forward.
Her mum and dad would be better.
We think it'd be more emotional coming from you.
Wouldn't be any good.
Don't you want to help us catch whoever did this? Of course I do, but all those people watching I wouldn't know what to say.
I'm sorry.
You'll have to ask someone else.
Joe's a client.
Nothing more.
Right, so, he has psychiatric issues? Joe suffered a severe childhood trauma.
He still has nightmares and depression.
What was his relationship like with his fiancee? You know I can't say.
It's a little thing called client confidentiality.
Well, we're investigating a little thing called murder.
Your client's fiancee was beaten to death on Sunday night.
You didn't know? Oh, God.
Poor Joe.
He must be devastated.
You know he was here? Sunday night.
You see clients at home? Sometimes.
Joe didn't want Alice to know about our appointments.
It was easier to keep them quiet if he came to me.
Why would he want to keep them quiet? I've been helping Joe for six years.
He's known Alice for two.
He just wasn't ready to share that part of himself with her.
They were getting married.
And married men don't have secrets? The truth is, I think he was hoping he could get to a place where he didn't need to tell her.
What time did he arrive? Six.
He called first at about 5:30.
And he left about eight.
But if he was here, why did he call you twice after he left? He left his jacket.
I was in the bath the first time he called.
Look, I can vouch for Joe.
He was here with me.
If she was my social worker, I'd be calling her three times a night too.
And she gave him an alibi without us even asking.
It's a shame it wasn't the same one he gave us.
He says he's in Chinatown, nibbling prawn crackers, when he was nibbling something else.
I was ashamed.
Of needing a social worker? Of needing a psychiatric social worker.
I have a sleep disorder.
Lucid dreaming? It was Dani's idea.
So I could learn to control my nightmares.
Kill the monster that's chasing you.
Or turn it into a mouse.
So, you didn't meet Alice for dinner at all? You were with Dani? After my appointment with Dani, I went to the restaurant, but I was too late.
I went to Alice's flat, but she weren't there, so I came home.
And then went back to Dani's to collect your jacket? Yeah.
My wallet was in the pocket.
So, how were you going to pay for your Chinese? I didn't realise it was missing until I got to the restaurant.
It's the sleep deprivation it makes me confused sometimes.
Look, I know you've got to ask these questions, but he's still out there, isn't he? Whoever did this to Alice.
I just want you to find him.
Not enough to do an appeal? Did you notice the way he dressed? Smart shoes, no laces.
Jeans, no belt.
Right? What about his bed? Hospital corners.
A blanket folded in a neat square on the end.
I know where you're going, but he spent three months inside for nicking cars.
He can't be institutionalised.
No, but - But he did have psych issues.
Maybe he learned that stuff on a psych ward, not in a prison.
No, no.
He's an ex-con, mate.
I can smell it a mile off.
OK.
Cheers.
If Joe Nash was ever a psychiatric in-patient, it wasn't in the UK.
Maybe it was in a military prison.
Or maybe he's just a neat freak.
Daniela's landlord lives above her.
Got his number.
He might remember if Joe was there that night.
This is weird.
What's that? Well, according to this file from Manchester, when Joe Nash got nicked for TWOCing, the arresting officer was Detective Sergeant Marvin Douglas.
So? Marvin Douglas was transferred back to London from Manchester six months before.
How do you know that? Because he was an usher at my second wedding, which took place a month after he got back.
Look at this.
Could be a clerical error.
That is Marvin's signature.
He couldn't have signed it six months after he left.
Why would anyone tamper with the archive? Well, you've got to admit, it is a bit suspect.
What's suspect is a loving fiance lying about where he was and refusing to take part in an appeal.
That was Daniela Renzo's landlord.
He took in a parcel for her on the day of the murder, kept trying to deliver it, but she was out all evening.
So, she wasn't in her flat having a session with Joe Nash at all.
Bring them both in.
She's either covering for him or they're both in it together.
Joe, you need to start telling us the truth, son.
All right.
I wasn't entirely honest with you before.
I lied because I knew what you'd think.
Me and Alice, we were going to meet at the restaurant.
But we had a fight at work.
And I got upset.
So, I rang Dani.
She didn't answer.
I left a message.
You can ask her.
So, you never went to Dani's flat? Not until much later.
I went round about 10:30.
I called her from outside, but she said she was going to bed.
She never let me in.
What did you and Alice argue about? It was just a stupid fight.
Was it about Dani? No.
But you fancied her though, didn't you? I mean, she's a classy-looking bird.
Who wouldn't? It's only natural.
I've got Alice.
I had Alice.
And yet, we are trying to find out who killed her, and you're not telling us everything.
What did you argue about, Joe? Were you and Daniela sleeping together? Did Alice find out? Can we stop this, please? Did the fight get physical? You hit her, she falls, you get angry.
Listen, Joe, we understand how these things happen.
No, that's not me.
I don't do that.
OK.
So, what did happen? I mean, look, mate, if you don't tell us, you can't really blame us for filling in the blanks, can you? I need some sleep.
Can we stop? Joe, what did you argue about? Please don't do this.
What was it? My diary.
Your diary? I thought she'd understand.
She said she was going to bring it.
She said it was in her bag.
She said I disgusted her.
She walked away from me.
You followed her into the car park, didn't you? Joe.
And you grabbed her while she was getting into the car.
Is that what happened? I never meant to.
What did you do to her, Joe? She was on the ground.
She was so scared.
Go on.
She was always picking on me.
And so you killed her? There was so much blood on my shoes.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
For the tape, then, please, Joe.
Yes.
I never meant to.
I should have stopped.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right, Joe.
You're more than just his social worker, aren't you? You have got no idea what you're asking.
Joe Nash, I am arresting you for the murder of Alice Cullen.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court Joe, would you like a brief? You don't understand.
.
.
may be given in evidence.
I'm not who you think I am.
I'm not Joe Nash.
They gave me the name Joe Nash and a pre-history thing and moved me down here.
I've got a new passport, a national insurance number.
The Home Office arranged it.
I was assigned to help Joe manage his new identity.
He's in witness protection? He's on life licence.
15 years ago, when we were 11, me and my mate, Darren Pierce, we .
.
we killed our teacher.
Yvonne Macy.
We were released six years ago on a life licence.
I'm not Joe Nash.
I'm Billy Wells.
Joe Nash spent three months in the same YOI as Billy Wells.
They shared a cell.
But why would he claim to be Billy Wells if he's not? Nash has a long history of psychiatric illness.
He's suffering from Delusional Disorder.
I was there when he was interviewed.
He was found fit for questioning.
I'm told those who suffer from Delusional Disorder appear quite normal.
You're 100% certain that he isn't Billy Wells? Yes, I am.
I've seen pictures taken of Billy Wells taken three weeks ago.
He has a wife and child and a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Even though I can tell you categorically that Joe Nash is not Billy Wells, any hint of his claims in the media and the public will be crying conspiracy theory.
And we'll be looking at a mistrial or grounds for appeal.
The Home Secretary is concerned about this being aired in public.
The Home Office is under pressure for a public referendum on the death penalty.
There simply cannot be a trial.
Well, is there any need for one? He's confessed.
Presumably he's pleading guilty.
Offer Nash a deal.
He pleads manslaughter, diminished responsibility, and gets a hospital order.
He could be out of a secure hospital in months.
We'll make sure he needs Ministry of Justice approval for any future release.
OK.
I'll put it to his brief.
It's an honour to meet you, Mr Steel.
You did a talk at my uni.
Law Claims Against The State.
Very inspiring.
I loved that George Eliot quote you started your lecture with.
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
Of course, he was on the right side then.
It was watching him in action that made me choose defence.
You can get my autograph later.
Eli, I'll come straight to the point.
In light of your client's mental health, the Crown will accept a plea to manslaughter, diminished responsibility.
You're serious? You're a good man, Mr Steel.
He's in a generous mood.
Say yes before he changes his mind.
I only just got the case.
I'm sure my client won't turn his nose up on an offer this good.
So, we've got a deal? Deal.
You are charged with manslaughter, contrary to common law.
The particulars of the offence are that you, Joseph Nash, unlawfully killed Alice Elizabeth Cullen.
To this charge, how do you plead - guilty or not guilty? Not guilty.
I thought we had a deal.
I know.
So, what happened? Did you plan this? No.
I swear, I had no idea he was going to do that.
He confessed.
How can he plead not guilty? I don't know.
He's your client.
How can you not know? How did this happen? I thought the deal was done and dusted.
Believe me, so did I.
Eli gave me his word.
DPP will have a hernia.
Especially when she hears this.
It seems Eli's had a sudden change of heart.
He's got to be joking.
It's no joke.
Eli's claiming Nash was coerced into confessing.
Take the deal.
Put this to a jury, the confession will send you to prison for life.
I don't deserve to be in prison.
I'm innocent.
First you claim to be Billy Wells and you admit to killing Alice.
Now you're not Wells, you're Joe Nash, and you didn't kill her.
He was confused when he made those claims.
He was also frightened by two coppers determined to hear what they wanted to hear.
You know what will happen if a jury hears the name Billy Wells? Whether he's called Billy Wells or Joe Nash, the truth is he didn't kill Alice Cullen.
I can't allow an innocent man to be locked up in a secure hospital for God knows how long.
I suggest you look at those confession tapes again, because those coppers took too much for granted.
Joe never actually said he killed Alice.
There was so much blood.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
OK.
For the tape, then, please, Joe.
Yes.
I never meant it to happen.
I should have stopped.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Eli's wrong.
Joe admits killing Alice.
Does he? She was always picking on me.
Darren didn't like it.
I wanted her to stop, but not like that.
She was on the ground.
She was so scared.
There was so much blood.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
Mm-hm? This is Billy Wells' confession from 1997.
Joe Nash isn't confessing to killing Alice Cullen.
He's talking about the murder of Yvonne Macy.
Joe did share a cell with Billy.
Yeah, but he didn't just tell the story, Alesha.
He's using exactly the same words.
Do you think he could really be Billy Wells? Look at the shape of the eyes, the way the mouth curls down at the corners.
If you saw my best mate as a kid, it could be me.
You're seeing what you want to see.
They're the same age, from Manchester.
Nash moved to London within three weeks of Wells's release.
I don't know.
Nash's record has more holes than a sieve.
The Home Secretary wants this kept out of court.
I never had you down as a conspiracy theorist, James.
There's just too many coincidences here.
I don't want to be right, Alesha.
Even if you are right, it doesn't change what he's done.
OK, if he's Joe Nash, then he's mentally ill and he should be in hospital.
But if he really is Billy Wells, then he's got form and we need to charge him accordingly.
We can adduce bad character evidence and make sure he's locked up for life without parole.
I just want to know, one way or the other.
His prints came from NAFIS as belonging to Joe Nash.
Did you ask NAFIS to double check them against Wells' prints? If those prints matched Wells, the Commissioner would be round here like a shot.
Joe talked about a diary in his confession.
It's not in evidence.
No.
It was never found.
For all we know, Nash destroyed it.
You've got Joe's DNA on file.
Can you check it against Billy Wells' DNA? 15 years ago, DNA profiles weren't saved digitally.
Yeah, I know.
But they must exist somewhere.
I looked at Billy Wells' file as soon as Joe Nash made his claim, and there is no DNA profile.
You don't think that's suspicious? We can't disclose those kind of details.
These are special circumstances.
We're talking about a psychiatric social worker specifically allocated to Billy Wells on his release.
Offenders like Billy Wells get new identities for their own protection.
If we handed out the sort of information you're asking for, we'd be putting the offender and the social worker at risk.
We know he was working with Daniela Renzo.
Surely you can just confirm that? I'm sorry.
Unless you get authority from the Home Secretary, it remains confidential.
Fine.
We'll talk to the Home Secretary.
And he'll come back to me for advice.
And I'll say no.
We're going round in circles with this.
You said you were assigned to help Billy Wells adjust to his new identity.
There's no record of it.
You'll need a signed letter from Joe giving consent before I disclose anything.
You talked to the police about it.
You know that's different.
Anyway, that was before I talked to Joe's barrister.
I'm a witness for the defence.
You can ask me whatever you like in court.
Joe Nash has been moved to the vulnerable prisoners' wing.
He was attacked yesterday.
Is he all right? A few cuts and bruises.
Apparently, some new prisoner just went for him in the dinner queue.
Do we know why? They reckon he saw Nash and just went crazy.
Do you think he recognised him? That's why I need to speak to Joe Nash right now.
You're Billy Wells, aren't you? Alice died in a car park outside her work, just like Yvonne Macy.
So? Both were pregnant.
That was my kid.
Both died from blows to the head.
I'd never hurt Alice.
I loved her.
She was on the ground.
There was so much blood.
I couldn't get it off my shoes.
Who, Joe? Who was on the ground bleeding? Was it Alice or Yvonne? I didn't kill Yvonne Macy.
They died the same way.
No.
It's different.
What those boys did was sick.
It's no different.
Yvonne was left bleeding to death in a car park, her head beaten.
Yeah, with her knickers shoved in her mouth.
I couldn't do a sick thing like that! I am not Billy Wells.
Do you hear me? I'm not Billy Wells! Get me out of here! I want to go back to my cell! Get me out! There were certain details defence and prosecution agreed to keep out of court to save the husband's feelings.
But surely all the details of the offence were relevant to the trial? Some things those kids did the press would have made a meal of, painting them as would-be rapists.
Just look at the Wells file and answer me one question.
Was Yvonne Macy found with her underwear in her mouth? I don't need to look.
I know.
It's true? It wasn't reported.
It's not in the court transcript.
The only way he could know that is if he was there when Yvonne Macy was murdered.
Joe Nash is Billy Wells.
The game's changed, George.
Now we know Joe Nash is Billy Wells, he needs to be charged accordingly.
What difference does it make what his name is? He's done this before.
Why should he get the soft option? He would never have got out of hospital.
And no-one would ever be any the wiser? Is that so wrong? You don't think the public have a right to know the truth? And what do you think would happen then? I'm nobody's lapdog.
I won't cover this up so the Home Secretary saves face.
You really think that's all this is about? Isn't it? If this gets out, the whole criminal justice system comes under fire.
No child convicted at Her Majesty's pleasure will ever get the chance of release again.
This is about one case.
No, it's not, James, it's not.
67% of the public want to bring back the death penalty.
There are MPs lobbying for that right now.
This is the ammunition they need.
We can't be governed by fear of political fallout.
It's not up to us to decide his fate.
It's up to a jury.
Assuming Billy Wells gets a jury trial.
There's no risk of jury tampering.
There's a risk of trial by tabloid.
Do you really think we could find 12 good men and true who could try him without prejudice? This is exactly the kind of case that could push legislation into frightening territory.
It could spell the end of jury trials altogether.
Are you asking me to be a part of a cover-up? Sometimes the truth causes more harm than good.
Talk to Eli Smart again.
Maybe in light of this new information, you can persuade him to take the plea.
Oh, and James, do it before the DPP finds out what you've been up to, otherwise you could find yourself back in defence.
You didn't know? I swear, I thought he was loony tunes.
And now you know the truth? It changes nothing.
I was hired to defend Joe Nash, and that's what I'm doing, regardless of who he used to be.
This comes out, there is no way that he'll get a fair trial.
It's in everyone's interest to keep this out of court.
All right.
I'll book a visit.
Don't ask me how I got this.
Billy Wells' prison records.
I flagged up the last section.
It records identifying marks.
Billy Wells has a three-inch scar on his left arm from a suicide attempt.
I'm not Billy Wells.
Pull up your sleeve.
Pull up your sleeve.
I never tried to top myself.
I wouldn't do that.
Two lads held me down .
.
cut my vein with a shiv and left me for dead.
Everyone knew who I was.
They used to leave nooses hanging in my cell.
When I didn't get the message, they tried to do it themselves.
When I walked out of those gates, I vowed I'd never do anything to take me back there.
Yes I'm Billy Wells.
But I've done my time.
And I never killed Alice.
Who killed her? Maybe it was one of those lads.
Or maybe someone found out who I was and tried to frame me.
The DNA evidence is going to prove your guilt.
Just take the deal while you still can.
Or you'll stay in prison for the rest of your life.
I'm drowning in here.
Don't you think I'd take the deal if I could? Billy, you do realise this is your last chance to change your plea? Find my diary.
Read what prison did to me.
And if you still think I killed Alice .
.
I'll see you in court, Mr Steel.
Someone's got to have it.
They searched Alice's flat and Joe's bed-sit.
You think it's gone the same way as Wells' DNA? Ronnie and Matt supervised the search.
It would be in evidence.
Would the diary would have exposed Joe as Billy Wells? Yeah.
According to Eli, it had every detail of coming to terms with his crime.
Anyone who read it would know that he was Billy Wells.
Why are you doing this? I don't understand.
If you tell me what is it you're looking for, I can help.
Matt.
This is incredible.
It tells us everything we need to know.
He gave Alice the diary because he wanted her to know he was Billy Wells.
Which would have threatened his new identity.
Joe turned up in a right state.
He said he'd had a fight with Alice.
He gave me her keys and begged me to get the diary back for him.
I had no idea he'd killed her.
I went into her flat and I took the diary.
It was stupid, but that's all I did.
Charge me with theft if you like.
You won't mind this, will you? Why would I? I crossed the line.
I shouldn't never have allowed Joe to manipulate me like that.
Joe was vulnerable.
You were the one in the position of trust.
You have no idea what it's like working intimately with serious offenders.
Mark this as urgent.
We've got a DNA profile from the scene.
I'm not under arrest.
Sit down, Miss Renzo.
I'm free to go.
You're not going anywhere.
Sit down.
20 years I've worked in this job, and I've never once got too close.
You never worked with a killer like Billy Wells before.
Billy's no killer.
It was Darren Pierce who killed that teacher.
Billy didn't stop him.
Billy watched his dad kick the shit out of his mum every day of his life.
He was damaged.
And along you came to fix him.
Yeah.
He needed me.
So no-one came between you? Nobody came between us.
He told me everything, because I was his lifeline.
You didn't read his diary, then? They were his private thoughts.
I wouldn't do that.
I don't need Dani anymore.
All I need is you, Alice.
I told her yesterday I want to stop the appointments.
Joe wrote those words in a message to Alice the day she died.
He wouldn't have lasted five minutes without me.
You blamed her for taking him from you.
You're wrong.
You waited for her in the car park.
No.
You'll be psychoanalysing your cell mates in Cold Norton for the rest of your life.
Look, OK, I was there.
But only to talk to her.
They were making a mistake.
She didn't love him.
But he loved her, didn't he? And you couldn't stand it.
She couldn't love Billy Wells.
But you could? You went to tell her? I went for the diary.
She didn't have it.
I begged her to give it to me, but she wouldn't.
So, you attacked her? I grabbed her bag and she fell against the car door.
She hit her head.
It was an accident.
Alice's head was slammed against that car door over and over.
It wasn't an accident, Daniela.
Joe didn't ask you to get the diary for him.
In fact, he trusted you so implicitly he never suspected for one second you killed the woman he loved.
She said he was a monster.
But you're the real monster, aren't you? You killed Alice, didn't you? Didn't you? I just wanted her to shut up! She didn't deserve him.
He used to sit there on my sofa like a lost little boy.
Sometimes he sat so close to me I could smell the soap on his skin.
I wanted to hold him, tell him everything would be all right.
I told him he couldn't marry someone who didn't know who he really was.
And he thought I wanted him to tell her.
You knew better than anyone what prison did to Billy, but you were prepared to let him rot in there for the rest of his life to save your own skin.
I could have worked with him, made sure he was all right.
Don't you mean control him? Keep him dependent on you? What sort of love is that? He'd be lost without me.
Whatever happened in his life, good or bad, it was me that he came running to.
Did you know Alice was pregnant? Maybe he didn't tell you everything, after all.
Daniela Renzo, I am arresting you for the murder of Alice Cullen.
You do not have to say anything Billy Wells' release papers.
He's a free man.
Billy was found hanging in his cell two hours ago.
You can't blame yourself.
You believe that if it helps you sleep at night.
