Law and Order: UK (2009) s07e02 Episode Script
Tremors
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.
I need a paramedic! I need a paramedic now! Max.
Max, open your eyes.
I never meant to kill anyone! I sincerely hope you're gonna charge him with 15 counts of murder and 120 counts of attempted murder.
Who's repping him? Kate Barker.
Diminished responsibility.
My client has a history of depression, with emotional unstable personality traits.
All Gavin Dale will choose is what kind of flowers to put on his son's grave.
This is a speech, m'lady.
If he gets a hospital order, he'll be out in six months.
Or detained for the rest of his life.
He's not mentally ill.
The doctors in a secure unit will spot it in a second.
On the charge of the murder of Max Dale, how do you find the defendant? Not guilty.
But guilty of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
Kate will be joining us from Monday, Alesha's replacement.
Who's for a celebratory drink? Here to see Finn Tyler.
What are you doing here? Sam.
He's dead.
Tyler's dead.
Ligature marks consistent with hanging.
Um, security guard cut him down, removed this.
Get the guard's DNA for elimination.
Already happening.
And I want the PM today, right? Pathologist's en route.
Nice one, Pete.
Cheers.
Hey, Kate, are you all right? Yeah, I'm OK.
God, that must have been a shocker.
Yeah, it was.
Don't look so worried, it's just for elimination purposes, OK? I couldn't save him.
We're going to need a statement when you're feeling up to it, if that's OK.
All right? DS Casey there, he'll take all your details, all right? Ron.
Yes, guv.
They're as vigilant as we are about suicide prevention, yeah? No belts, no shoe laces, 15-minute checks on vulnerable prisoners, so how did he get that cord in there? Could have smuggled it in from prison.
They'd have searched him.
Well, look, Wes, you know better than anyone, there's always a way.
And it's not as if it's the first time he's tried to top himself.
If he'd used a noose the first time, the people he killed would still be alive.
Look, what if he didn't smuggle that cord in from prison? What if someone gave it to him? Law & Order UK Season 7, Episode 2 "Tremors" What were you doing in the cell, Sam? Oh, you're having a laugh, aren't you? I saw you.
Just leave me alone, OK? I don't need this now.
More to the point, Tyler's brief saw you.
Am I supposed to leave that out of my statement? Ron, any news, mate? Yeah, guv.
Yeah, the, um the CCTV system at the court is still down.
When it's up and running they'll send it over.
I'll want footage for the whole time Tyler was in that cell.
Er, Sam's supposed to be on rest days.
He needs sending home.
You what? Well, the truth is the trial's been pretty hard on him.
Yeah.
Have you looked out here? I'm four staff down and we've got a possible assisted suicide.
Deaths in custody don't do much for our popularity.
Tyler was not in our custody.
He was a prisoner in the biggest court in the country.
If someone gave him the means to kill himself, all eyes are on us to find out what went wrong.
Yeah, but if Find out who gave him that cord and Sammy boy can go play golf, get pissed, or do whatever floats his boat.
But until Tyler's killer's banged up in those cells and there's some case papers on my desk, he's working this, Ron.
Ah! Bottle of bubbly now our new prosecutor has finally arrived.
I'm not stopping.
Course you are.
Don't force her, Henry, if she's got something better to do.
Tyler's dead.
How? He hung himself.
I found him.
Shit.
Are you OK? I'd better go back to the office.
The media are going to be all over this.
I'll come with you.
No, you take the afternoon.
And buy Kate's lunch.
Keep an eye on her.
Don't you feel even the slightest bit responsible? You could have accepted a plea to diminished responsibility and kept it out of court.
You know Tyler was mentally ill.
The court case tore him apart.
The only people I feel any responsibility towards are the families whose loved ones Tyler murdered.
It was manslaughter.
The jury found on manslaughter, diminished responsibility.
What do you want? A pint.
What?Defence barristers usually opt for something more expensive.
You're forgetting, I'm on your team now.
Don't remind me.
'They only sent him to hospital for a few months.
I'm glad he's dead.
He murdered my little boy and my wife.
He murdered 15 innocent people.
It's the state that should have hung him.
Now I'm gonna try and get on with my life.
I reckon justice has been served.
' Death by asphyxiation with said item.
Right.
We were trying to work out how he got this into the cell.
Could he have smuggled it in internally? I've retrieved all manner of things from anal cavities, Ronnie, but you're assuming it was suicide.
It wasn't? I said asphyxiation.
He had a helping hand.
Curvilinear abrasions.
He could have tried to pull himself free.
Only if his hands were on back to front.
If I'm fighting for my life, the nail marks are at the front and this way round.
So, what are these bruises doing on the back of his neck? You took thorough fingernail scrapings? Mm-hm.
So what are you saying, Lilly? You're certain Finn Tyler was murdered? A bruising on his back confirms it.
The killer held him down with his knee, choked him from behind with the cord, scraping his neck, leaving nail marks, and then he strung him up.
Textbook staged suicide.
The in-cell security cameras weren't recording, but we got some footage of the corridor approaching the cell.
What about the door? Can you see anyone going in and out? No, just the approach.
But this is the last cell on the block, so from this view they can't be going anywhere else.
Right.
The custody security officer, a William Braxton, gave us a copy of the log.
That's a list of everyone who signs in and out.
Briefs and security guards mostly.
Last in was Tyler's brief with Ronnie.
And before that? In the 15 minutes before, only two people were seen entering the block - one security guard who was coming on shift, but he didn't go near the cell.
Only one person was seen approaching the cell in the 45 minutes before Tyler was found dead.
So, who was it? Please, guv.
I've got a DPS officer waiting to speak to me.
Let me speak to him first.
You're his partner, man, it's against every protocol.
He is either going to clam up or totally lose the plot, but I can get through to him.
What was he doing in that cell, Ron? I don't know, it could be all manner of reasons.
Give me one that doesn't implicate him in Tyler's murder.
Just let me get in there with you.
No, sorry, you're out.
DS Casey, you were the last person seen entering the cell block.
And you appear on CCTV approaching Tyler's cell immediately preceding his death.
Can you explain what you were doing there? I went to get the property formssigned.
We still had Tyler's personal effects from his arrest.
But your partner, DS Brooks, had the forms in his possession.
I didn't realise that.
I thought I had them.
Where? Excuse me? Where did you think they were? In a briefcase? Bag? You weren't carrying anything that might conceal the forms.
I wasn't carrying a noose either.
I'm sorry, I thought the forms were in my jacket pocket.
OK.
So what did you do when you found out they weren't? I turned round and walked out.
Ronnie was in reception with Tyler's brief.
He can vouch for me.
So, um, you never spoke to Tyler? No.
No? Never opened the wicket? No.
We know how you felt about Tyler, you must have been furious he got a hospital order.
Yeah, well, we all were, weren't we? Well, we weren't all seen on CCTV approaching his cell.
You were down there ten minutes.
It doesn't take that to find out you ain't got the forms in your pocket.
Am I under arrest? Not yet, no.
But we would like you to help us with our inquiries.
I'm sure your fed rep would urge you to cooperate.
I don't really care what he thinks.
Or you.
DS Casey Sam.
Sam! DS Casey, if you don't answer these questions now, you'll answer them under arrest! All those people dead and you are wasting time on the man that killed them! Walk out now, you're making a big mistake.
Do I look like I give a toss? Sam, calm down.
Tell the guv Guv? He's not my guv! Do you think it's that easy? I held that boy in my arms! I haven't slept for months! Every time I close my eyes, I see that boy's face! I see his dad's face when I had to tell him that his son was dead! So yes, I went down there to tell Tyler how that felt.
All right? I went down there to try and make him feel that pain.
But do you know what? I couldn't do it.
Because being a police officer came first.
I I swear to God, Ron, I swear to God, I turned aroundand I walked away.
It was a very slow walk, cos you were off camera for ten minutes.
DS Casey, I'm suspending you pending further investigation.
You can leave your warrant card with me.
Good.
Good! Sam, wait.
What? He thinks You know, he thinks I'm some sort of nutcase.
Yeah, but he doesn't know you.
Well, you do.
What do YOU think? I think you've been through a lot.
Oh, Ronnie.
Sam! What were you doing for those ten minutes? Look, just take it easy.
You've got a young lad that needs you.
I know! Well, I can help you, and I will help you, but you've got to be honest with me.
What did you do for those ten minutes? Come on.
Sam.
I wanted to go in there.
I've already said I wanted to go in there and tell him what he'd done - how it felt to hold a dying child in my arms because of him.
How it feels every time I kiss my boy goodbye.
All I can see is that kid's face, dead in that train.
What did you do? Wh- You want to know what I did for those ten minutes?Yes.
I just sat down by that cell door and I cried like a baby.
All right, well look Come on.
Come on.
I've seen many an officer with that look in their eyes.
Don't worry about that.
You're strong enough, you'll come through this.
You're a good copper, Sam.
No.
You are.
No, I'm not.
You are.
Just don't let all your good work end here.
I need to know one thing.
Did you see Tyler? No.
OK.
I swear, Ronnie.
I swear.
Well, no-one went to his cell after you, except for his brief that found him.
So Tyler must have already been dead when you went down there.
You believe me, don't you? Yes, I believe you.
Hello there, William.
You'd think they'd give you some time off, wouldn't you? They offered.
I'd rather just keep working.
Yeah.
Well, I hope you don't mind, I just need to ask you a few more questions.
Go for it.
Right.
Well, we're just trying to establish time of death, and just wanted to know how long Tyler was in the cell before he was found.
They brought him down straight after sentencing, so an hour, maybe.
Right.
Because we've only seen 45 minutes of CCTV footage.
Maybe it was more like 45 minutes, then.
I wasn't clock watching.
What are you having, then? I'm not hungry.
Well, this is supposed to be your welcome to the CPS lunch.
Well, I don't feel much like celebrating.
Second thoughts about switching sides? My client just killed himself.
One less killer on the streets.
You sure you don't want to join the "bring back hanging" brigade? Of course not, but it isn't such a stretch to see why so many people feel that way.
It is for me.
You know, if I'd been the one prosecuting Tyler, I'm not sure I'd sleep so well tonight.
You really want me to feel guilty? Don't you? Not even the tiniest bit? A man took his own life.
You were instrumental in the process.
I was just doing my job.
But you aren't just your job, Jake.
You're a human being too.
There's plenty of people who'd disagree with you there.
Do you ever open up? Do you ever just cut the bullshit and the wisecracks and just get real? Why aren't you at work? I'm on rest days.
It's not a good time.
It never is.
Ben's busy.
He's got homework to do.
I'll do it with him.
He's seven years old.
I mean, how hard can it be? Have you been drinking? No.
Daddy! Hey, kid! Ohh! How's my little squidge? Eh? Mm.
How you been, all right? Yeah.
Yeah? I want him back by 4:30.
Thank you.
Are we gonna have a fun day? Yeah.
Yeah? You got past the mob on the steps, then.
Well, I had the advantage.
They haven't a clue who I am.
Lucky you.
Tabloids are blaming us for Tyler getting a hospital order, the broadsheets want my neck for driving a mentally-ill defendant to suicide.
Can't win.
Maybe I can put your mind at rest.
No-one drove Finn Tyler to suicide.
He was murdered.
You're sure? Mm-hm.
I don't know what's worse.
Who's that, kid? You.
Me? You know, it's a long time since I've been in a uniform.
But my teacher won't know you're a policeman if you don't have a uniform.
That's what your homework is? You have to draw pictures of your dads? No.
We've got to draw pictures of our heroes.
Checked the timings.
Tyler was in his cell over an hour before he was found.
Where's the missing 15 minutes, then? I think that footage has been edited.
I'll get the timecodes checked, see if there's any gaps or jumps.
You know I believe Sam's innocent, don't you? You're loyal, I remember that.
And I remember you when you used topound the streets just to get your man.
You loved it out there - the last person I thought would ever turn corporate.
Bigger pay cheque, mate.
You were never motivated by money.
Martine and me came back to London cos we're doing IVF.
Second round.
You've got two girls, right? Mm.
I'd give all this up in a heartbeat to be a dad.
You're popular.
Yeah, it's a curse.
So who's Cara? It's gonna be bags of fun sharing an office with you Sorry, I'm dead nosy.
Always have been.
Why are you swapping sides? I fancied a change.
Your turn.
Who's Cara? My mother's nurse.
Your mum's ill? My mum's dead.
Was it recent, then? Last week.
Shit.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
She wasn't exactly warm and cuddly.
What about when you were a kid? Why are you joining the CPS? Really.
I'm bored of all the fake wining and dining with solicitors touting for business.
I'd rather spend my Friday nights with a DVD and a Chinese.
Nah.
You don't spend six years choosing only to defend and wake up one day and become a prosecutor.
Sticky toffee pudding and hot chocolate.
In aid of Hendry's credit card.
Jake Thorne's phone, hello.
See you tomorrow, guys.
Bye.
Do you want to come in? Hello? Oh, hi, Ange.
Yup, yeah, I'll be there.
Thank you.
I wish you could come back home.
I know, kid.
Me too.
I never got scared of monsters when you lived with us.
Monsters? Are you scared of monsters now? At night I am.
I'll tell you a secret, shall I? You see, grown-ups, they er they make up stories about monsters so they'll scare children into doing what they're told.
But they're not real.
See, real monsters, they look like us.
They're human.
They don't hide underneath the bed, or .
.
lurk in the dark, they're um .
.
they're out there, or in here.
But it's Daddy's job to catch them and lock them up.
Yeah? I said 4:30.
I knew I couldn't trust you.
Cathy, I'm sorry.
I just I lost track of time, that's all.
It's the last time, Sam.
One weekend a month from now on.
You bring him back one second late and you lose that, too.
Come on.
Bye, Dad.
See you, kid.
You had no right to answer my phone! I'm sorry.
Well, did you check my texts too? Rifle through my coat pockets maybe? Don't be daft.
I can't work with someone I can't trust.
You can trust me.
You can.
Look, your mum's nurse, she just wanted to make sure you'll be at the funeral tomorrow.
She told you? She just came out with it.
I think she thought I was your girlfriend.
I'm not even having this conversation with you.
There's 15 minutes and 32 seconds missing.
They're all in one block? It's in two different sections.
The first is ten minutes after Finn Tyler arrived in the cell - six minutes missing there.
That's long enough.
And 11 minutes missing immediately before Sam arrived.
That clears Sam's name.
So who could have tampered with the footage? There's whole sections missing.
I passed it on, that's all I did.
Is the log accurate? Yeah.
I'm a bit OCD about it.
No-one gets past me without signing in.
Right.
Well, someone went into Tyler's cell in those missing minutes, and I think that someone killed him.
I thought it was suicide.
Murder.
You see, William, if someone did go into that cell I think that footage was tampered with.
What do you think? A lot of angry people in that court yesterday, weren't there, eh? Maybe you turned a blind eye.
They wouldn't blame you.
Maybe you let someone into Tyler's cell.
What do you say? If I'd know what he was gonna do Go on.
He was only in there a few minutes.
Who was? Gavin Dale? Yeah.
Why? I'm arresting you under suspicion of the murder of Finn Tyler.
.
.
everything you do say may be used in evidence.
If you want me to be sorry he's dead, you'll have a long wait.
The security guard told us he let you into Tyler's cell.
He told you? Mm-hm.
Why did you go into his cell, Mr Dale? I wanted Tyler to look me in the eye.
I wanted him to say he was sorry for killing my wife and my son.
And did he? Too busy feeling sorry for himself.
And did that make you angry? I was out in Afghanistan six months.
I kept a picture of my wife and my boy with me the whole time.
It was the only thing that kept me going.
The thought of getting back to them.
You must have hated Finn Tyler, then, for taking that away from you.
Is that why you killed him? I never killed him.
So what did you do, just talk to him? Yeah.
I told him I hoped he rotted in the hospital.
Told him even if he got out next week he'd have to live with what he'd done.
And then you left? Yeah.
So, um, how come the cord from your jacket ended up round Tyler's neck? We're having it tested.
And we both know those tests are gonna show that the cord that choked Finn Tyler is the same cord missing from your jacket, so let me ask you again - how did the cord from your jacket end up round Tyler's neck? I gave it to him.
I put it in his hands.
I told him to do the right thing, but then I left.
If you want to charge me for giving him the means to kill himself, go ahead, but I'm glad he did it.
Cos now we can all have some sort of peace.
All? Mm, the rest of the families.
The victims group? Hear the way he talked about those other families? Collectively having some sort of peace now Tyler's dead.
Like he did it for them? Like they did it together.
How many in that victims group? About 15.
They were after compensation from the train company, had the same solicitor.
But they met up regularly? I believe so, yeah.
It became a sort of support group, you know.
A few of them were interviewed after Tyler's death.
They seemed pretty happy about it.
You bet they were.
Every one of them had motive.
Maybe Dale wasn't in this alone.
Knock-knock.
Morning.
I take it this one's mine? Unfortunately.
Well, this is gonna be a lot of fun if you're planning on holding a grudge.
I don't hold grudges, but I do value my privacy.
Duly noted.
Lesson learned.
I can apologise again, if it would help.
OK.
What are you doing here, anyway? Shouldn't you be at your mum's funeral? I'm not going.
Not that it's any of your business.
Can't be too careful.
Mate, can I get another one of these when you're ready? I don't want to hassle you, son, I've already left two messages, so just give us a call when you get this, will you? OK, cheers.
Emma? What do YOU want? I was in the area, so um Just give me five minutes, please? All right.
Give it a kick.
We had the same one at my last chambers.
Let me have a go.
Come on.
Come on.
We could go out for coffee.
On me.
A peace offering.
You can show me where's good round here.
One condition.
Name it.
We don't talk about me.
Fine.
I'm sure you're dying to find out all about me anyway.
So how did you find me? Well, it was your sister.
Sarah said she was back in touch with you.
She had no right to tell you where I worked.
I'm glad she did.
Eh? Anyway, what about that little boy of hers, eh? Matthew.
He's a cracker, in't he? Sarah always was the lucky one.
Got it all, didn't she? Husband, kid, cosy relationship with her dad.
You can have that as well, Emma, can't you? Sarah had the luxury of knowing you before the drinking.
She tells me you're single.
Why would I want to get hooked up? Follow the shining example you and Mum set I dunno, kids maybe? It worked for you Emma, I'm Look, I'm sorry, I really am.
Can we start again, please? Huh? Come on, eh? What made you stop drinking? Well, what made me stop? Well, what got me started? That's a better story.
I just assumed it was me.
No! Absolutely not.
Of course not.
God I was four when you staggered out of my life.
What's a four-year-old supposed to think? Well, .
.
what's a 24-year-old think? You remembered.
Homerton Hospital.
Some dates you never forget.
You forgot the last eight of them.
Well, I didn't forget them, I I just missed out.
I know, I'm sorry.
You could have got in touch before.
You never stop loving your children, you know.
Even though sometimes .
.
you have to walk away, you never stop loving your children.
Some people just react differently You know, the situation and everything I'm sorry.
Hello? Hi, Wes.
Yeah.
Yep, OK, thank you.
Bye-bye.
I'm sorry, I've got to go.
If it wasn't the drink, it was the job.
Let me take you out for dinner tonight, Emma, eh? We can go to that little Italian I used to take you and Sarah to for your birthdays.
You know, it'll be like old times.
Only without the booze and the arguments.
Eight o'clock.
Let me make it up to you, please? Seven.
I've got plans with my friends at eight.
Great.
Seven.
That'll be brilliant.
Yeah.
I get that you don't like talking about family stuff, but just answer me one question.
I'd really rather not.
I'll never ask another thing about your personal life.
Why don't I believe you? Don't you think you owe it to your mum to be there today? Owe her? I'm grateful she gave birth to me, and that's where it ends.
You must have one happy memory.
One time when things were good with her? Don't you ever give up? What about when you were little? I'd love to tell you she nursed me through chicken pox and cheered me at football matches but it never happened.
I had this client who had a brain tumour.
And it was like his whole personality changed overnight.
He was this loving family man one minute, and the next he's gambling, drinking, defrauding his business partners, sleeping with prostitutes.
When they found the tumour and took it out, he was back to his old self.
He couldn't believe the things he'd done.
I got him off, obviously.
Maybe your mum's tumour was always there, making her the way she was, and it turned into cancer later.
Anyway, it was good of you to take care of her like you did, seeing as you never got on.
I visited her every fortnight.
So you do have a heart.
She's dead.
She won't know if I'm there or not.
But you will.
One day you might regret it.
I doubt that.
Anyway, it's too late.
Funeral's over.
It's never too late.
Uniform has spoken to everyone in the victim support group, except for David Manning.
He moved abroad with his son after his wife died in the crash.
Have we got a number for him? We have left messages, but his stepson Billy's been attending the group on his behalf.
You think this Billy could be involved? Pretty much everyone uniform spoke to mentioned Gavin and Billy were close.
They were the self-appointed leaders of the group, organised the meetings, spurred the others on.
Always went for a drink afterwards.
Maybe they were just offering each other support.
And maybe they had the biggest grievance.
Gavin lost his wife and son in that crash and Billy lost his mum.
Lots of people lost a parent.
Yeah, but Eva Manning spent the last five years fighting cancer.
No, ta.
She got the all-clear three days before the crash.
Right, well, let's get this Billy in, interview him.
Problem is, we can't find any records for a Billy Manning, and he's not answering the number the solicitor gave us.
Maybe Gavin Dale knows where we can find him.
He's still in custody, plenty of time left on the clock.
We'll have a go with him.
Guv, intel's finished going through Gavin Dale's phone data.
There's a long text conversation with a Billy.
Number's been investigated.
It came from an unregistered pay-as-you-go.
The conversation mainly talks about meeting up, sent over the past few months.
But on the day Tyler died, Billy sent that message to Gavin Dale's phone.
"There's no going back.
It's down to you.
" Some kind of pact.
And Gavin Dale's the chosen one.
Tell us where Billy Manning is.
I don't know.
Come on, you're a friend of his.
We only met at the group.
You don't know where he lives, where he works? No.
You did have some sort of pact with him, we know that, and that you planned Tyler's death.
All we ever wanted was justice.
And the court never gave you that, right? So what, you and Billy just decided to get justice of your own? We just wanted him to do the right thing - to kill himself.
Tyler said he wanted to die.
He said that's why he caused the crash.
So what you're telling us is you gave him the means to kill himself, he wouldn't, so you helped him? I told you the truth.
I told him "If you had any kind of conscience you'd do the right thing.
" And then I gave him the cord from my jacket.
Mm, well, you see, that's not what the bruising on Tyler's back tells us.
That tells us that his killer put their knee into his back, held him down, and then choked him to death.
But Tyler killed himself.
His killer then forced his hands away when Tyler tried to free himself, struggling for air and fighting for his life.
No.
Then his killer strung him up to make it look like suicide.
I swear to God, I left him alive.
You've admitted being in Tyler's cell.
You also admitted giving him the cord from your jacket that was used to strangle him.
Look, whoever tied the knots in that cord, they very likely left their DNA under those knots.
We're gonna have the results back soon.
Is it gonna be your DNA we find under those knots, Gavin? Because if it is, .
.
Gavin, .
.
you're looking at life.
We all talked about it - what we'd do if Tyler didn't get life.
But the others, they were all talk.
Only me and Billy really cared, so we drew straws.
To decide which one of you would kill Tyler? To decide which one of us would talk him into killing himself.
I drew the short straw.
I made the cord into a noose.
I did that.
My DNA is gonna be under those knots.
But I swear to God that's all I did.
So you're saying Billy did the rest? He must have done, but I didn't know.
I swear.
Billy told me Tyler killed himself.
Can't find any record of Billy Manning.
Can you help us out, Gavin? Manning's his mum's name.
Right.
He started using it after she died.
OK, so what's his real name? It's Braxton.
William Braxton.
He's going away tonight.
Where? Come on, Gavin.
Platform three, it's across the walkway.
Er, Steve, stay here, please.
And Hugo, exit.
Exit.
That's him, Ron, over there.
Right, Wes, I've got this.
Going away, Billy? New start.
My train's due any minute.
Do you want to talk, son? I can't miss it.
I know your mum died in that crash.
I really can't do this now.
I know your stepdad and your brother moved abroad, didn't they? That only left you, and you must have thought you was the only one who cared for your mum, eh? They wanted to put it all behind them.
But I couldn't leave her.
You really loved her, didn't you? She was the only person who ever got me.
I understand she was a bit of a hero.
All the time she had cancer, she .
.
she was thinking what she could do to help others.
What race she could run, how much money she could raise.
She was the most selfless person I ever knew.
But Tyler, he was the opposite, wasn't he? So selfish.
He didn't care who he hurt.
Did you go into Tyler's cell, Billy? The cord was on the floor.
He should have done it himself, but he didn't have the balls.
You did though, eh? I had to.
For Mum.
And for Gavin's little boy.
For all the other people on that train he killed.
He was gonna get away with it.
A few months in hospital, chatting about his feelings? How is that justice? I picked up the cord, .
.
I said, "This is for Eva Manning.
" Then I got my mum justice.
Where's your luggage, Billy? You all right, son? I've got you.
Hello? Oh, right.
I'm on my way.
No, no, I'm on my way.
You all right? Er, yeah, I've um Wes, I've got to do this.
'It's been a funny old day today.
I spent it trying to find out why a man was murdered.
Cos the man killed a lot of innocent people.
And we did our best to get justice for the families, but the court decided he wasn't really responsible.
' Mate, can I get another one when you're ready, please? No? 'I saw people on the news cheering cos the guy was dead and saying that the death penalty should be brought back for people like him.
One of his victims even took justice into his own hands and now he's gonna spend the rest of his life in prison paying for it.
' 'There's people saying that justice has been done.
I dunno.
I can't stop thinking of that little girl .
.
growing up without a dad.
' Emma, I'm I'm sorry I've let you down.
And I'd really like to try again, honest.
I hope you're listening.
Love you - Dad.
These are their stories.
I need a paramedic! I need a paramedic now! Max.
Max, open your eyes.
I never meant to kill anyone! I sincerely hope you're gonna charge him with 15 counts of murder and 120 counts of attempted murder.
Who's repping him? Kate Barker.
Diminished responsibility.
My client has a history of depression, with emotional unstable personality traits.
All Gavin Dale will choose is what kind of flowers to put on his son's grave.
This is a speech, m'lady.
If he gets a hospital order, he'll be out in six months.
Or detained for the rest of his life.
He's not mentally ill.
The doctors in a secure unit will spot it in a second.
On the charge of the murder of Max Dale, how do you find the defendant? Not guilty.
But guilty of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
Kate will be joining us from Monday, Alesha's replacement.
Who's for a celebratory drink? Here to see Finn Tyler.
What are you doing here? Sam.
He's dead.
Tyler's dead.
Ligature marks consistent with hanging.
Um, security guard cut him down, removed this.
Get the guard's DNA for elimination.
Already happening.
And I want the PM today, right? Pathologist's en route.
Nice one, Pete.
Cheers.
Hey, Kate, are you all right? Yeah, I'm OK.
God, that must have been a shocker.
Yeah, it was.
Don't look so worried, it's just for elimination purposes, OK? I couldn't save him.
We're going to need a statement when you're feeling up to it, if that's OK.
All right? DS Casey there, he'll take all your details, all right? Ron.
Yes, guv.
They're as vigilant as we are about suicide prevention, yeah? No belts, no shoe laces, 15-minute checks on vulnerable prisoners, so how did he get that cord in there? Could have smuggled it in from prison.
They'd have searched him.
Well, look, Wes, you know better than anyone, there's always a way.
And it's not as if it's the first time he's tried to top himself.
If he'd used a noose the first time, the people he killed would still be alive.
Look, what if he didn't smuggle that cord in from prison? What if someone gave it to him? Law & Order UK Season 7, Episode 2 "Tremors" What were you doing in the cell, Sam? Oh, you're having a laugh, aren't you? I saw you.
Just leave me alone, OK? I don't need this now.
More to the point, Tyler's brief saw you.
Am I supposed to leave that out of my statement? Ron, any news, mate? Yeah, guv.
Yeah, the, um the CCTV system at the court is still down.
When it's up and running they'll send it over.
I'll want footage for the whole time Tyler was in that cell.
Er, Sam's supposed to be on rest days.
He needs sending home.
You what? Well, the truth is the trial's been pretty hard on him.
Yeah.
Have you looked out here? I'm four staff down and we've got a possible assisted suicide.
Deaths in custody don't do much for our popularity.
Tyler was not in our custody.
He was a prisoner in the biggest court in the country.
If someone gave him the means to kill himself, all eyes are on us to find out what went wrong.
Yeah, but if Find out who gave him that cord and Sammy boy can go play golf, get pissed, or do whatever floats his boat.
But until Tyler's killer's banged up in those cells and there's some case papers on my desk, he's working this, Ron.
Ah! Bottle of bubbly now our new prosecutor has finally arrived.
I'm not stopping.
Course you are.
Don't force her, Henry, if she's got something better to do.
Tyler's dead.
How? He hung himself.
I found him.
Shit.
Are you OK? I'd better go back to the office.
The media are going to be all over this.
I'll come with you.
No, you take the afternoon.
And buy Kate's lunch.
Keep an eye on her.
Don't you feel even the slightest bit responsible? You could have accepted a plea to diminished responsibility and kept it out of court.
You know Tyler was mentally ill.
The court case tore him apart.
The only people I feel any responsibility towards are the families whose loved ones Tyler murdered.
It was manslaughter.
The jury found on manslaughter, diminished responsibility.
What do you want? A pint.
What?Defence barristers usually opt for something more expensive.
You're forgetting, I'm on your team now.
Don't remind me.
'They only sent him to hospital for a few months.
I'm glad he's dead.
He murdered my little boy and my wife.
He murdered 15 innocent people.
It's the state that should have hung him.
Now I'm gonna try and get on with my life.
I reckon justice has been served.
' Death by asphyxiation with said item.
Right.
We were trying to work out how he got this into the cell.
Could he have smuggled it in internally? I've retrieved all manner of things from anal cavities, Ronnie, but you're assuming it was suicide.
It wasn't? I said asphyxiation.
He had a helping hand.
Curvilinear abrasions.
He could have tried to pull himself free.
Only if his hands were on back to front.
If I'm fighting for my life, the nail marks are at the front and this way round.
So, what are these bruises doing on the back of his neck? You took thorough fingernail scrapings? Mm-hm.
So what are you saying, Lilly? You're certain Finn Tyler was murdered? A bruising on his back confirms it.
The killer held him down with his knee, choked him from behind with the cord, scraping his neck, leaving nail marks, and then he strung him up.
Textbook staged suicide.
The in-cell security cameras weren't recording, but we got some footage of the corridor approaching the cell.
What about the door? Can you see anyone going in and out? No, just the approach.
But this is the last cell on the block, so from this view they can't be going anywhere else.
Right.
The custody security officer, a William Braxton, gave us a copy of the log.
That's a list of everyone who signs in and out.
Briefs and security guards mostly.
Last in was Tyler's brief with Ronnie.
And before that? In the 15 minutes before, only two people were seen entering the block - one security guard who was coming on shift, but he didn't go near the cell.
Only one person was seen approaching the cell in the 45 minutes before Tyler was found dead.
So, who was it? Please, guv.
I've got a DPS officer waiting to speak to me.
Let me speak to him first.
You're his partner, man, it's against every protocol.
He is either going to clam up or totally lose the plot, but I can get through to him.
What was he doing in that cell, Ron? I don't know, it could be all manner of reasons.
Give me one that doesn't implicate him in Tyler's murder.
Just let me get in there with you.
No, sorry, you're out.
DS Casey, you were the last person seen entering the cell block.
And you appear on CCTV approaching Tyler's cell immediately preceding his death.
Can you explain what you were doing there? I went to get the property formssigned.
We still had Tyler's personal effects from his arrest.
But your partner, DS Brooks, had the forms in his possession.
I didn't realise that.
I thought I had them.
Where? Excuse me? Where did you think they were? In a briefcase? Bag? You weren't carrying anything that might conceal the forms.
I wasn't carrying a noose either.
I'm sorry, I thought the forms were in my jacket pocket.
OK.
So what did you do when you found out they weren't? I turned round and walked out.
Ronnie was in reception with Tyler's brief.
He can vouch for me.
So, um, you never spoke to Tyler? No.
No? Never opened the wicket? No.
We know how you felt about Tyler, you must have been furious he got a hospital order.
Yeah, well, we all were, weren't we? Well, we weren't all seen on CCTV approaching his cell.
You were down there ten minutes.
It doesn't take that to find out you ain't got the forms in your pocket.
Am I under arrest? Not yet, no.
But we would like you to help us with our inquiries.
I'm sure your fed rep would urge you to cooperate.
I don't really care what he thinks.
Or you.
DS Casey Sam.
Sam! DS Casey, if you don't answer these questions now, you'll answer them under arrest! All those people dead and you are wasting time on the man that killed them! Walk out now, you're making a big mistake.
Do I look like I give a toss? Sam, calm down.
Tell the guv Guv? He's not my guv! Do you think it's that easy? I held that boy in my arms! I haven't slept for months! Every time I close my eyes, I see that boy's face! I see his dad's face when I had to tell him that his son was dead! So yes, I went down there to tell Tyler how that felt.
All right? I went down there to try and make him feel that pain.
But do you know what? I couldn't do it.
Because being a police officer came first.
I I swear to God, Ron, I swear to God, I turned aroundand I walked away.
It was a very slow walk, cos you were off camera for ten minutes.
DS Casey, I'm suspending you pending further investigation.
You can leave your warrant card with me.
Good.
Good! Sam, wait.
What? He thinks You know, he thinks I'm some sort of nutcase.
Yeah, but he doesn't know you.
Well, you do.
What do YOU think? I think you've been through a lot.
Oh, Ronnie.
Sam! What were you doing for those ten minutes? Look, just take it easy.
You've got a young lad that needs you.
I know! Well, I can help you, and I will help you, but you've got to be honest with me.
What did you do for those ten minutes? Come on.
Sam.
I wanted to go in there.
I've already said I wanted to go in there and tell him what he'd done - how it felt to hold a dying child in my arms because of him.
How it feels every time I kiss my boy goodbye.
All I can see is that kid's face, dead in that train.
What did you do? Wh- You want to know what I did for those ten minutes?Yes.
I just sat down by that cell door and I cried like a baby.
All right, well look Come on.
Come on.
I've seen many an officer with that look in their eyes.
Don't worry about that.
You're strong enough, you'll come through this.
You're a good copper, Sam.
No.
You are.
No, I'm not.
You are.
Just don't let all your good work end here.
I need to know one thing.
Did you see Tyler? No.
OK.
I swear, Ronnie.
I swear.
Well, no-one went to his cell after you, except for his brief that found him.
So Tyler must have already been dead when you went down there.
You believe me, don't you? Yes, I believe you.
Hello there, William.
You'd think they'd give you some time off, wouldn't you? They offered.
I'd rather just keep working.
Yeah.
Well, I hope you don't mind, I just need to ask you a few more questions.
Go for it.
Right.
Well, we're just trying to establish time of death, and just wanted to know how long Tyler was in the cell before he was found.
They brought him down straight after sentencing, so an hour, maybe.
Right.
Because we've only seen 45 minutes of CCTV footage.
Maybe it was more like 45 minutes, then.
I wasn't clock watching.
What are you having, then? I'm not hungry.
Well, this is supposed to be your welcome to the CPS lunch.
Well, I don't feel much like celebrating.
Second thoughts about switching sides? My client just killed himself.
One less killer on the streets.
You sure you don't want to join the "bring back hanging" brigade? Of course not, but it isn't such a stretch to see why so many people feel that way.
It is for me.
You know, if I'd been the one prosecuting Tyler, I'm not sure I'd sleep so well tonight.
You really want me to feel guilty? Don't you? Not even the tiniest bit? A man took his own life.
You were instrumental in the process.
I was just doing my job.
But you aren't just your job, Jake.
You're a human being too.
There's plenty of people who'd disagree with you there.
Do you ever open up? Do you ever just cut the bullshit and the wisecracks and just get real? Why aren't you at work? I'm on rest days.
It's not a good time.
It never is.
Ben's busy.
He's got homework to do.
I'll do it with him.
He's seven years old.
I mean, how hard can it be? Have you been drinking? No.
Daddy! Hey, kid! Ohh! How's my little squidge? Eh? Mm.
How you been, all right? Yeah.
Yeah? I want him back by 4:30.
Thank you.
Are we gonna have a fun day? Yeah.
Yeah? You got past the mob on the steps, then.
Well, I had the advantage.
They haven't a clue who I am.
Lucky you.
Tabloids are blaming us for Tyler getting a hospital order, the broadsheets want my neck for driving a mentally-ill defendant to suicide.
Can't win.
Maybe I can put your mind at rest.
No-one drove Finn Tyler to suicide.
He was murdered.
You're sure? Mm-hm.
I don't know what's worse.
Who's that, kid? You.
Me? You know, it's a long time since I've been in a uniform.
But my teacher won't know you're a policeman if you don't have a uniform.
That's what your homework is? You have to draw pictures of your dads? No.
We've got to draw pictures of our heroes.
Checked the timings.
Tyler was in his cell over an hour before he was found.
Where's the missing 15 minutes, then? I think that footage has been edited.
I'll get the timecodes checked, see if there's any gaps or jumps.
You know I believe Sam's innocent, don't you? You're loyal, I remember that.
And I remember you when you used topound the streets just to get your man.
You loved it out there - the last person I thought would ever turn corporate.
Bigger pay cheque, mate.
You were never motivated by money.
Martine and me came back to London cos we're doing IVF.
Second round.
You've got two girls, right? Mm.
I'd give all this up in a heartbeat to be a dad.
You're popular.
Yeah, it's a curse.
So who's Cara? It's gonna be bags of fun sharing an office with you Sorry, I'm dead nosy.
Always have been.
Why are you swapping sides? I fancied a change.
Your turn.
Who's Cara? My mother's nurse.
Your mum's ill? My mum's dead.
Was it recent, then? Last week.
Shit.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
She wasn't exactly warm and cuddly.
What about when you were a kid? Why are you joining the CPS? Really.
I'm bored of all the fake wining and dining with solicitors touting for business.
I'd rather spend my Friday nights with a DVD and a Chinese.
Nah.
You don't spend six years choosing only to defend and wake up one day and become a prosecutor.
Sticky toffee pudding and hot chocolate.
In aid of Hendry's credit card.
Jake Thorne's phone, hello.
See you tomorrow, guys.
Bye.
Do you want to come in? Hello? Oh, hi, Ange.
Yup, yeah, I'll be there.
Thank you.
I wish you could come back home.
I know, kid.
Me too.
I never got scared of monsters when you lived with us.
Monsters? Are you scared of monsters now? At night I am.
I'll tell you a secret, shall I? You see, grown-ups, they er they make up stories about monsters so they'll scare children into doing what they're told.
But they're not real.
See, real monsters, they look like us.
They're human.
They don't hide underneath the bed, or .
.
lurk in the dark, they're um .
.
they're out there, or in here.
But it's Daddy's job to catch them and lock them up.
Yeah? I said 4:30.
I knew I couldn't trust you.
Cathy, I'm sorry.
I just I lost track of time, that's all.
It's the last time, Sam.
One weekend a month from now on.
You bring him back one second late and you lose that, too.
Come on.
Bye, Dad.
See you, kid.
You had no right to answer my phone! I'm sorry.
Well, did you check my texts too? Rifle through my coat pockets maybe? Don't be daft.
I can't work with someone I can't trust.
You can trust me.
You can.
Look, your mum's nurse, she just wanted to make sure you'll be at the funeral tomorrow.
She told you? She just came out with it.
I think she thought I was your girlfriend.
I'm not even having this conversation with you.
There's 15 minutes and 32 seconds missing.
They're all in one block? It's in two different sections.
The first is ten minutes after Finn Tyler arrived in the cell - six minutes missing there.
That's long enough.
And 11 minutes missing immediately before Sam arrived.
That clears Sam's name.
So who could have tampered with the footage? There's whole sections missing.
I passed it on, that's all I did.
Is the log accurate? Yeah.
I'm a bit OCD about it.
No-one gets past me without signing in.
Right.
Well, someone went into Tyler's cell in those missing minutes, and I think that someone killed him.
I thought it was suicide.
Murder.
You see, William, if someone did go into that cell I think that footage was tampered with.
What do you think? A lot of angry people in that court yesterday, weren't there, eh? Maybe you turned a blind eye.
They wouldn't blame you.
Maybe you let someone into Tyler's cell.
What do you say? If I'd know what he was gonna do Go on.
He was only in there a few minutes.
Who was? Gavin Dale? Yeah.
Why? I'm arresting you under suspicion of the murder of Finn Tyler.
.
.
everything you do say may be used in evidence.
If you want me to be sorry he's dead, you'll have a long wait.
The security guard told us he let you into Tyler's cell.
He told you? Mm-hm.
Why did you go into his cell, Mr Dale? I wanted Tyler to look me in the eye.
I wanted him to say he was sorry for killing my wife and my son.
And did he? Too busy feeling sorry for himself.
And did that make you angry? I was out in Afghanistan six months.
I kept a picture of my wife and my boy with me the whole time.
It was the only thing that kept me going.
The thought of getting back to them.
You must have hated Finn Tyler, then, for taking that away from you.
Is that why you killed him? I never killed him.
So what did you do, just talk to him? Yeah.
I told him I hoped he rotted in the hospital.
Told him even if he got out next week he'd have to live with what he'd done.
And then you left? Yeah.
So, um, how come the cord from your jacket ended up round Tyler's neck? We're having it tested.
And we both know those tests are gonna show that the cord that choked Finn Tyler is the same cord missing from your jacket, so let me ask you again - how did the cord from your jacket end up round Tyler's neck? I gave it to him.
I put it in his hands.
I told him to do the right thing, but then I left.
If you want to charge me for giving him the means to kill himself, go ahead, but I'm glad he did it.
Cos now we can all have some sort of peace.
All? Mm, the rest of the families.
The victims group? Hear the way he talked about those other families? Collectively having some sort of peace now Tyler's dead.
Like he did it for them? Like they did it together.
How many in that victims group? About 15.
They were after compensation from the train company, had the same solicitor.
But they met up regularly? I believe so, yeah.
It became a sort of support group, you know.
A few of them were interviewed after Tyler's death.
They seemed pretty happy about it.
You bet they were.
Every one of them had motive.
Maybe Dale wasn't in this alone.
Knock-knock.
Morning.
I take it this one's mine? Unfortunately.
Well, this is gonna be a lot of fun if you're planning on holding a grudge.
I don't hold grudges, but I do value my privacy.
Duly noted.
Lesson learned.
I can apologise again, if it would help.
OK.
What are you doing here, anyway? Shouldn't you be at your mum's funeral? I'm not going.
Not that it's any of your business.
Can't be too careful.
Mate, can I get another one of these when you're ready? I don't want to hassle you, son, I've already left two messages, so just give us a call when you get this, will you? OK, cheers.
Emma? What do YOU want? I was in the area, so um Just give me five minutes, please? All right.
Give it a kick.
We had the same one at my last chambers.
Let me have a go.
Come on.
Come on.
We could go out for coffee.
On me.
A peace offering.
You can show me where's good round here.
One condition.
Name it.
We don't talk about me.
Fine.
I'm sure you're dying to find out all about me anyway.
So how did you find me? Well, it was your sister.
Sarah said she was back in touch with you.
She had no right to tell you where I worked.
I'm glad she did.
Eh? Anyway, what about that little boy of hers, eh? Matthew.
He's a cracker, in't he? Sarah always was the lucky one.
Got it all, didn't she? Husband, kid, cosy relationship with her dad.
You can have that as well, Emma, can't you? Sarah had the luxury of knowing you before the drinking.
She tells me you're single.
Why would I want to get hooked up? Follow the shining example you and Mum set I dunno, kids maybe? It worked for you Emma, I'm Look, I'm sorry, I really am.
Can we start again, please? Huh? Come on, eh? What made you stop drinking? Well, what made me stop? Well, what got me started? That's a better story.
I just assumed it was me.
No! Absolutely not.
Of course not.
God I was four when you staggered out of my life.
What's a four-year-old supposed to think? Well, .
.
what's a 24-year-old think? You remembered.
Homerton Hospital.
Some dates you never forget.
You forgot the last eight of them.
Well, I didn't forget them, I I just missed out.
I know, I'm sorry.
You could have got in touch before.
You never stop loving your children, you know.
Even though sometimes .
.
you have to walk away, you never stop loving your children.
Some people just react differently You know, the situation and everything I'm sorry.
Hello? Hi, Wes.
Yeah.
Yep, OK, thank you.
Bye-bye.
I'm sorry, I've got to go.
If it wasn't the drink, it was the job.
Let me take you out for dinner tonight, Emma, eh? We can go to that little Italian I used to take you and Sarah to for your birthdays.
You know, it'll be like old times.
Only without the booze and the arguments.
Eight o'clock.
Let me make it up to you, please? Seven.
I've got plans with my friends at eight.
Great.
Seven.
That'll be brilliant.
Yeah.
I get that you don't like talking about family stuff, but just answer me one question.
I'd really rather not.
I'll never ask another thing about your personal life.
Why don't I believe you? Don't you think you owe it to your mum to be there today? Owe her? I'm grateful she gave birth to me, and that's where it ends.
You must have one happy memory.
One time when things were good with her? Don't you ever give up? What about when you were little? I'd love to tell you she nursed me through chicken pox and cheered me at football matches but it never happened.
I had this client who had a brain tumour.
And it was like his whole personality changed overnight.
He was this loving family man one minute, and the next he's gambling, drinking, defrauding his business partners, sleeping with prostitutes.
When they found the tumour and took it out, he was back to his old self.
He couldn't believe the things he'd done.
I got him off, obviously.
Maybe your mum's tumour was always there, making her the way she was, and it turned into cancer later.
Anyway, it was good of you to take care of her like you did, seeing as you never got on.
I visited her every fortnight.
So you do have a heart.
She's dead.
She won't know if I'm there or not.
But you will.
One day you might regret it.
I doubt that.
Anyway, it's too late.
Funeral's over.
It's never too late.
Uniform has spoken to everyone in the victim support group, except for David Manning.
He moved abroad with his son after his wife died in the crash.
Have we got a number for him? We have left messages, but his stepson Billy's been attending the group on his behalf.
You think this Billy could be involved? Pretty much everyone uniform spoke to mentioned Gavin and Billy were close.
They were the self-appointed leaders of the group, organised the meetings, spurred the others on.
Always went for a drink afterwards.
Maybe they were just offering each other support.
And maybe they had the biggest grievance.
Gavin lost his wife and son in that crash and Billy lost his mum.
Lots of people lost a parent.
Yeah, but Eva Manning spent the last five years fighting cancer.
No, ta.
She got the all-clear three days before the crash.
Right, well, let's get this Billy in, interview him.
Problem is, we can't find any records for a Billy Manning, and he's not answering the number the solicitor gave us.
Maybe Gavin Dale knows where we can find him.
He's still in custody, plenty of time left on the clock.
We'll have a go with him.
Guv, intel's finished going through Gavin Dale's phone data.
There's a long text conversation with a Billy.
Number's been investigated.
It came from an unregistered pay-as-you-go.
The conversation mainly talks about meeting up, sent over the past few months.
But on the day Tyler died, Billy sent that message to Gavin Dale's phone.
"There's no going back.
It's down to you.
" Some kind of pact.
And Gavin Dale's the chosen one.
Tell us where Billy Manning is.
I don't know.
Come on, you're a friend of his.
We only met at the group.
You don't know where he lives, where he works? No.
You did have some sort of pact with him, we know that, and that you planned Tyler's death.
All we ever wanted was justice.
And the court never gave you that, right? So what, you and Billy just decided to get justice of your own? We just wanted him to do the right thing - to kill himself.
Tyler said he wanted to die.
He said that's why he caused the crash.
So what you're telling us is you gave him the means to kill himself, he wouldn't, so you helped him? I told you the truth.
I told him "If you had any kind of conscience you'd do the right thing.
" And then I gave him the cord from my jacket.
Mm, well, you see, that's not what the bruising on Tyler's back tells us.
That tells us that his killer put their knee into his back, held him down, and then choked him to death.
But Tyler killed himself.
His killer then forced his hands away when Tyler tried to free himself, struggling for air and fighting for his life.
No.
Then his killer strung him up to make it look like suicide.
I swear to God, I left him alive.
You've admitted being in Tyler's cell.
You also admitted giving him the cord from your jacket that was used to strangle him.
Look, whoever tied the knots in that cord, they very likely left their DNA under those knots.
We're gonna have the results back soon.
Is it gonna be your DNA we find under those knots, Gavin? Because if it is, .
.
Gavin, .
.
you're looking at life.
We all talked about it - what we'd do if Tyler didn't get life.
But the others, they were all talk.
Only me and Billy really cared, so we drew straws.
To decide which one of you would kill Tyler? To decide which one of us would talk him into killing himself.
I drew the short straw.
I made the cord into a noose.
I did that.
My DNA is gonna be under those knots.
But I swear to God that's all I did.
So you're saying Billy did the rest? He must have done, but I didn't know.
I swear.
Billy told me Tyler killed himself.
Can't find any record of Billy Manning.
Can you help us out, Gavin? Manning's his mum's name.
Right.
He started using it after she died.
OK, so what's his real name? It's Braxton.
William Braxton.
He's going away tonight.
Where? Come on, Gavin.
Platform three, it's across the walkway.
Er, Steve, stay here, please.
And Hugo, exit.
Exit.
That's him, Ron, over there.
Right, Wes, I've got this.
Going away, Billy? New start.
My train's due any minute.
Do you want to talk, son? I can't miss it.
I know your mum died in that crash.
I really can't do this now.
I know your stepdad and your brother moved abroad, didn't they? That only left you, and you must have thought you was the only one who cared for your mum, eh? They wanted to put it all behind them.
But I couldn't leave her.
You really loved her, didn't you? She was the only person who ever got me.
I understand she was a bit of a hero.
All the time she had cancer, she .
.
she was thinking what she could do to help others.
What race she could run, how much money she could raise.
She was the most selfless person I ever knew.
But Tyler, he was the opposite, wasn't he? So selfish.
He didn't care who he hurt.
Did you go into Tyler's cell, Billy? The cord was on the floor.
He should have done it himself, but he didn't have the balls.
You did though, eh? I had to.
For Mum.
And for Gavin's little boy.
For all the other people on that train he killed.
He was gonna get away with it.
A few months in hospital, chatting about his feelings? How is that justice? I picked up the cord, .
.
I said, "This is for Eva Manning.
" Then I got my mum justice.
Where's your luggage, Billy? You all right, son? I've got you.
Hello? Oh, right.
I'm on my way.
No, no, I'm on my way.
You all right? Er, yeah, I've um Wes, I've got to do this.
'It's been a funny old day today.
I spent it trying to find out why a man was murdered.
Cos the man killed a lot of innocent people.
And we did our best to get justice for the families, but the court decided he wasn't really responsible.
' Mate, can I get another one when you're ready, please? No? 'I saw people on the news cheering cos the guy was dead and saying that the death penalty should be brought back for people like him.
One of his victims even took justice into his own hands and now he's gonna spend the rest of his life in prison paying for it.
' 'There's people saying that justice has been done.
I dunno.
I can't stop thinking of that little girl .
.
growing up without a dad.
' Emma, I'm I'm sorry I've let you down.
And I'd really like to try again, honest.
I hope you're listening.
Love you - Dad.
