00:00Prosecutors who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:10The killing of Yvonne Macy and her unborn child was an act of unparalleled evil.
00:19You and Darren Pierce left a young teacher to bleed to death
00:24after subjecting her to the most horrific and unprovoked attack.
00:32Billy Wells, the sentence I pass is that you be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure
00:38for a minimum of twelve years,
00:41and until such a time as the Home Secretary is satisfied that you are fully rehabilitated
00:47and no longer a danger.
00:50Oh, please.
00:54No!
00:57There it is.
01:02Time of death somewhere between six and seven,
01:06impact marks on the side of the car.
01:10Looks like whoever did this beat her head against it till she was dead.
01:14Nice. Right, thanks, Joy.
01:20Do we know who she is yet?
01:22Bags missing.
01:24That was in the road.
01:26Right.
01:29She's a doctor?
01:30Junior House Officer.
01:32Alice Cullen.
01:33Been qualified six months.
01:38All those lives you could have saved, eh?
01:40See you later.
01:56And we'll be back.
01:58Thanks for meeting you.
01:59Bye.
02:01Bye.
02:01Goodbye.
02:03Bye.
02:04Bye-bye.
02:05Bye.
02:06Bye-bye.
02:07Bye-bye.
02:07Bye.
02:08Bye-bye.
02:08The actual attack happened between the cars.
02:38Which is why it doesn't show up in the cameras.
02:42And no one saw anything?
02:44No one heard her scream?
02:45The fellow just reckons it was all over in a couple of minutes.
02:49And Ron?
02:50Oh.
02:51You reckon she knew her attacker?
02:53Her head was bashed in against her own car door until she stopped breathing, Gov.
02:57I'd say that was personal.
02:59Anything missing from her handbag?
03:02Uniform found everything.
03:04Except her keys.
03:08So whoever it was uses her key to get in and then leaves all the stuff that would be easiest to shift?
03:21Well, maybe she's got something worth more than money.
03:23Morning.
03:33Morning.
03:34Yeah.
03:36Yeah.
03:47Looks like it wasn't just Alistair he killed.
03:50Post-mortem confirmed Alice was ten weeks pregnant.
03:58Forensics found a couple of dark hairs on her clothes.
04:02They'd gone for DNA at Alice's.
04:04Any news on the print in her flat?
04:07Two sets all over the place.
04:09One confirmed is Alice's.
04:11A neighbour reckons she's got a fiancé who stays a couple of nights a week.
04:14So we suspect the second set of his.
04:17Yeah.
04:17He's here.
04:19He's waiting in reception with her parents.
04:22They did the formal ID this morning.
04:26Mrs. Cullen, can you think of anything in Alice's flat that someone may have wanted?
04:32Addicts break into doctor's flats, don't they?
04:38Are looking for drugs.
04:42Does it matter what he took?
04:46There's only one thing we want back.
04:51And he can't give it to us.
04:53Did you know that Alice was pregnant?
05:04She called us the second they finished the scan.
05:08She couldn't keep it in a moment longer.
05:15Alice was her only child.
05:20We'll never be grandparents.
05:23Mr. Nash, we're ready for you now.
05:45We're going to meet in China, so to celebrate.
05:51Who's going to be at that?
05:53You know, I know me.
06:00Do we have to do this now?
06:03I'm sorry.
06:05What do you need mine for?
06:08It's just so that we can sort the prints that should be in your fiancé's flat from those that shouldn't.
06:14Joe seems like a nice lad.
06:15Joe seems like a nice lad.
06:19They've been inseparable since Joe started at the hospital.
06:24He's a doctor?
06:26No.
06:28He's a hospital porter.
06:31But he's a nice lad.
06:34It's her last boyfriend you should be asking about.
06:40Not Joe.
06:41So, Alice had six visits to casualty in the last two years.
06:54Last time.
06:59Crack rib.
07:00Fractured cheekbone.
07:01We broke up two years ago.
07:05Or maybe you had some unfinished business.
07:08Is that why you shot down to London the minute she announced her engagement in the Times?
07:14We opened an office in the city.
07:16So what are you then?
07:18Merchant banker?
07:21Investment banker.
07:22And did you know Alice was living in London?
07:28Well, her parents made sure no one in Edinburgh knew where they'd gone.
07:31Right.
07:32So you did try to find her.
07:35I asked around.
07:36But I got over it.
07:37I moved on.
07:40You were in a relationship then?
07:44Several.
07:46It didn't bother you that Alice was getting engaged.
07:49I didn't lose any sleep over it.
07:54Oh, come on.
07:55She was your favourite possession.
07:57And she dumped you.
07:59And now she ended up with some bloke down here.
08:04Having his kid.
08:08Yeah, her mum reckoned it was all she'd ever wanted.
08:11Her own little family.
08:16Well, it wouldn't have lasted.
08:19She had gone running home to Daddy the minute she didn't get her own way.
08:24And what, you went after her?
08:27You know, to tell her she was making a mistake?
08:30Is that what you did?
08:32Wait outside the hospital?
08:34Follow her into the car park?
08:36No.
08:37And when she wouldn't talk to you, you tried to make her listen?
08:40I had a problem.
08:45But I changed.
08:48Was that what you tried to show her in the car park?
08:51How much you changed?
08:52Look.
08:52I've had five K's worth of anger management.
08:59You've been done, mate.
09:00I didn't do this.
09:05Well, then you won't mind us asking where you were on Sunday night between the hours of 6 and 7 p.m., will you?
09:12Showing my PA who's the boss.
09:17His PA has confirmed that they were at it for the best part of two hours.
09:25I'm in the wrong job.
09:27Would she be covering for him?
09:29No, because the security guard puts them both in his office at the same time Alice was killed.
09:35What about her fiancé?
09:37Has he got a record?
09:38Nicking cars when he was a kid.
09:40Nothing since.
09:42Get Manchester to send his file anyway.
09:44Has he got an alibi?
09:46Plains he was in Chinatown.
09:55So no one remembers Jonas?
09:57Well, that's because he was never here.
10:01So why don't we chase up his phone records and find out where he really was?
10:06Right.
10:07Well, Joe Nash made three phone calls on Sunday night.
10:13None of those calls was to Alice Cullen and none of them were from Chinatown.
10:19So who did he call?
10:22He called Daniela Renzo, psychiatric social worker.
10:28Right.
10:29So where are you going?
10:30Well, these three calls put Joe at the murder scene, half an hour before the killing.
10:38Near Alice Cullen's flat at the time of the break-in.
10:43And finally up here at Daniela Renzo's gaff, just in time for bed.
10:49So he's having an affair.
10:53Let's put it to the test.
10:56Let's see how this grieving fiancé fancies appearing on the ten o'clock news.
11:01Appeal?
11:11The public see the heartache.
11:13They're more likely to come forward.
11:16I want them on the W, but we think it would be more emotional coming from you.
11:21It won't be any good.
11:23Don't you want to help us catch whoever did this?
11:27Of course I do, but all those people watching...
11:32I wouldn't know what to say.
11:34I'm sorry.
11:36I'll have to ask someone else.
11:37Joe's a client.
11:45Nothing more.
11:48Right.
11:48So he has psychiatric issues.
11:52Joe suffered a severe childhood trauma.
11:57He still has nightmares and depression.
11:59What was his relationship like with his fiancée?
12:04You know I can't go into those sort of details.
12:07It's a little thing called client confidentiality.
12:09Well, we're investigating a little thing called murder.
12:13Your client's fiancée was beaten to death in a car park on Sunday night.
12:18You didn't know?
12:23Oh, God.
12:26Poor Joe.
12:29He must be devastated.
12:35Oh, you know he was here.
12:38Sunday night.
12:41You see clients at home?
12:44Sometimes.
12:46Joe didn't want Alice to know about our appointments.
12:50And it was easier to keep them quiet if he came to me.
12:53Why would he want to keep them quiet?
12:55I've been helping Joe for six years.
12:57He's no nice for two.
13:02He just wasn't ready to share that part of himself with her.
13:06But they were getting married.
13:08And married men don't have secrets.
13:12The truth is, I think he was hoping he could get to a place where he...
13:16He didn't need to tell her.
13:19And what time did he arrive?
13:22Six.
13:22He called first.
13:29It was about 5.30.
13:32He left about eight.
13:35But then if he was here, why would he need to call you twice after he left?
13:40He left his jacket.
13:41I was in the bath the first time he called.
13:47Look, I can vouch for Joe.
13:49He was here.
13:51With me.
13:52She was my social worker.
13:54I'd be calling her three times a night and all.
13:57And she gave him an alibi without Alice even asking.
14:00Yes, it's a shame that it wasn't the same alibi that he gave us.
14:03So he says he's in Chinatown nibbling prawn crackers, when actually he was nibbling someone else.
14:12I was ashamed of needing a social worker.
14:19I was needing a psychiatric social worker.
14:24I've had sleep disorder.
14:26Lucid dreaming.
14:28It was Banny's idea so I could learn how to control my nightmares.
14:31Kill all the monster that's chasing you.
14:36I'll turn it into a mouse.
14:40So you didn't meet Alice for dinner at all?
14:44You were with Danny?
14:45After my appointment with Danny, I went to the restaurant, but it was too late.
14:52I went to Alice's flat and she weren't there.
14:56So I came home.
14:58And then went all the way back to Danny's to collect your jacket.
15:03Yeah.
15:05My wallet was in the pocket.
15:10So how were you going to pay for your Chinese?
15:15I didn't realise it was missing until I got to the restaurant.
15:18It's the sleep deprivation that makes me confused sometimes.
15:29Look, I know you've got to ask these questions.
15:33But he's still out there, isn't he?
15:35Whoever did this to Alice.
15:36I just want you to find him.
15:42Not enough to do an appeal.
15:46Did you notice the way he dressed?
15:48Yes.
15:48Smart shoes, no laces, jeans, no belt.
15:51Right.
15:52What about his bed?
15:53Hospital corners, a blanket folded in a neat square on the end of it.
15:58I know where you're going with this from.
15:59Look, he spent three months inside for nicking cars.
16:03He's not going to get institutionalised after three months.
16:05No, but what do you mean?
16:07But he did have psych issues.
16:09So maybe he learnt that stuff in a psych ward, not in a prison.
16:13No, no.
16:14He's an ex-con, mate.
16:15I can smell it a mile off.
16:23Okay.
16:24Tears.
16:27Well, if Donash was ever a psychiatric inpatient who wasn't in the UK.
16:32Maybe he was in a military prison.
16:34Well, maybe he's just a neat freak.
16:35Look, Daniana's landlord lives above her.
16:40Got his number here somewhere.
16:41He might remember if Joe was there that night.
16:46This is weird.
16:48What's that?
16:48Well, according to this file from Manchester, when Joe Nash got Nick for talking, the arresting officer was Detective Sergeant Marvin Douglas.
17:03So, well, Marvin Douglas was transferred back to London from Manchester six months before.
17:13How did you know that?
17:14Because Marvin Douglas was an usher at my second wedding, which took place a month after he got back.
17:20He didn't stop it.
17:22He didn't stop it.
17:26Well, there could be a clerical error.
17:28Someone just bumped down the wrong name.
17:29That is Marvin's signature.
17:31He couldn't have signed it six months after he left, could he?
17:34Why would anyone tamper with the archive?
17:41Well, you've got to admit, it is a bit suspect.
17:45I'll tell you what suspect.
17:46It's a loving fiancé lying about where he was and refusing to take part in an appeal.
17:52I've just been talking to Daniella Renzo's landlord.
17:57He says he took in a parcel for her on the day of the murder, tried to deliver it three or four times, only she was out all evening.
18:04So, she wasn't in her flat having a session with Joe Nash at all?
18:09Bring them both in.
18:11She's either covering for him or they're both in it together.
18:22Joe, you need to start telling us the truth, son.
18:51All right.
18:52I wasn't entirely honest with you before, because I lied because I knew what you'd think.
19:04You and Alice, we were going to meet at the restaurant, but we had a fight at work, and I got upset.
19:19So I rang Danny, and she didn't answer.
19:24I left a message, you can ask her.
19:28So you never went to Danny's flat?
19:30Well, not until much later.
19:35I went round about 10.30.
19:38I called her from outside.
19:40But she said she said she was going to bed.
19:43She never let me in.
19:46And what did you and Alice argue about?
19:48It's just some stupid fight.
19:55And was it about Danny?
19:57No.
19:59But you fancied her, though, didn't you?
20:01I mean, she's a classy-looking bird.
20:05Who wouldn't?
20:06It's only natural.
20:07I've got Alice.
20:11I had Alice.
20:13And yet, here we are trying to find out who killed her, and you're not telling us everything.
20:23What did you argue about, Joe?
20:27Were you and Daniel are sleeping together?
20:30Did Alice find out?
20:32Can we stop this, please?
20:33I mean, did the fight get physical?
20:35I mean, you hit her, and she falls, you get angry.
20:40Listen, Joe, we understand how these things happen, yeah?
20:44No, that's not me.
20:45I don't do that.
20:47All right, okay.
20:47So then what did happen?
20:49I mean, look, mate, if you don't tell us, then you can't really blame us for trying to fill in the blanks, now, can you?
20:56I need some sleep.
20:58Can we stop?
20:59Joe, what did you argue about?
21:02Please don't do this.
21:05What was it?
21:14A diary.
21:17A diary?
21:22I thought she didn't understand.
21:24She said she was going to bring it with me.
21:26She said it was in her bag.
21:30She said I'm disgusting at her.
21:33She walked away from it.
21:38So you followed her into the car park, didn't you?
21:43Joe.
21:44And you grabbed her while she was getting into the car.
21:50Is that what happened?
21:51I never meant to.
22:00What did you do to her, Joe?
22:04She was on the ground.
22:08She was so scared.
22:09Go on.
22:17She's always peeking on me.
22:20And so you killed her?
22:22Someone put blood on my shoes.
22:26I couldn't get it off my shoes.
22:30For the tape, then, please, Joe.
22:32I never meant to.
22:37I should have stopped her.
22:39I'm sorry.
22:40I'm so sorry.
22:43It's all right, Joe.
22:44You're more than just his social worker, aren't you?
23:04You have got no idea what you're asking.
23:07Joe Nash, I'm arresting you for the murder of Alice Cullen.
23:14You 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.
23:22Joe, would you like a brief now?
23:24You don't.
23:25Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
23:27I'm not, you think, I'm, I'm not Joe Nash.
23:32They gave me the name Joe Nash and this pretty history thing, and they moved me down here.
23:38I've got a new passport and Nash's insurance number.
23:42The home office arranged it.
23:46I was assigned to help Joe manage his new identity.
23:53He's in witness protection.
23:57He's on life licence.
24:02Fifteen years ago, when we were eleven, meeting me, mate, Darren Pierce, we killed our teacher, Yvonne Mason.
24:24We were at least six years ago on a life licence.
24:27I'm not Joe Nash.
24:36I'm Billy Wells.
24:48Joe Nash spent three months in the same Y.O.I. as Billy Wells.
24:53They shared a cell.
24:57But why would he claim to be Billy Wells if he's not?
25:01Billy Wells.
25:02I was there when he was interviewed.
25:11The police surgeon found him fit for questioning.
25:14I'm told those who suffer from delusional disorder appear as normal as you or me.
25:19You're 100% certain that he isn't Billy Wells.
25:24Billy Wells.
25:25Yes, I am.
25:26I've seen pictures taken of Billy Wells three weeks ago.
25:32He has a wife and a child and a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
25:37Even 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.
25:49We'll be looking at a mistrial or grounds for appealing.
25:54The home secretary is also most concerned about this matter being aired in public.
25:58The home office is already under considerable pressure for a public referendum on the death penalty.
26:04There simply cannot be a trial.
26:09Well, is there any need for one?
26:11He's confessed.
26:13Presumably he's pleading guilty.
26:15Offer Nash a deal.
26:18He pleads manslaughter, diminished responsibility and gets a hospital order.
26:24He could be out of a secure hospital in a few months.
26:28We'll make sure he needs Ministry of Justice approval for any future release.
26:34Okay.
26:36I'll put it to his brief.
26:39It's an honor to meet you like this, Mr. Steele.
26:42You did a talk at my uni, law claims against the state.
26:46Very inspiring.
26:48You know, I love that George Eliot quote you started your lecture with.
26:53Falsehood is easy.
26:55Truth so difficult.
26:57Of course he was on the right side back then.
27:00It was watching him in action that made me choose defense.
27:05Or you can get my autograph later.
27:07Look, Eli, I'll come straight to the point.
27:10In light of your client's mental health issues, the Crown's prepared to accept a plea to manslaughter, diminished responsibility.
27:17The Sims?
27:18Mm-hmm.
27:19You're a good man, Mr. Steele.
27:22He's in a generous mood.
27:24I'd say yes quickly before he changes his mind.
27:27I only got this case this morning, but I'm sure my client won't be turning his nose up on the offer this good.
27:33So we got a deal?
27:35Deal.
27:36Deal.
27:43You are charged with manslaughter, contrary to common law.
27:47The particulars of the offense are that you, Joseph Nash, unlawfully killed Alice Elizabeth Cullen.
27:55To this charge, how do you plead? Guilty or not guilty?
28:02Not guilty.
28:04I thought we had a deal.
28:05I know, I know.
28:06So what the hell just happened in there?
28:07Did you plan this?
28:08No.
28:09I swear, I had no idea he was going to do that.
28:10He confessed for God's sake.
28:11How can you plead not guilty?
28:12I don't know.
28:13He's your client.
28:14How can you not know?
28:15How the hell did this happen?
28:16No.
28:17I thought we had a deal
28:28I know, I know
28:29So what the hell just happened in there?
28:30Did you plan this?
28:32No, I swear I had no idea he was going to do that
28:35He confessed for God's sake
28:36How can you plead not guilty?
28:38I don't know
28:38He's your client
28:40How can you not know?
28:42How the hell did this happen?
28:43I thought the deal was done and dusted
28:46Believe me George, so did I
28:47Eli gave me his word
28:49DPP will have a hair now
28:51Especially when she hears about this
28:52It seems Eli's had a sudden change of heart
28:56He's got to be joking
28:58It's no joke, Eli's claiming Nash was coerced into confessing
29:02Take the deal
29:08You put this to a jury, that confession will send you to prison for life
29:14I don't deserve to be in prison
29:16I'm innocent
29:17First, you claim to be Billy Wells and you admit to killing Alice
29:25Now you're saying you're not Billy Wells, you're Joe Nash and you didn't kill Alice
29:29He was confused when he made those claims
29:31He was also frightened out of his wits by two heavy-handed coppers determined to wear what they wanted to wear
29:38I don't think you've got any idea what will happen if a jury hears the name Billy Wells
29:42Whether he calls himself Billy Wells or Joe Nash, the truth is he didn't kill Alice Cullen
29:49Now I can't allow an innocent man to be locked up in a secure hospital for God knows how long
29:55I suggest you look at those confession tapes again Mr. Steele because those coppers took too much for granted
30:02Joe never actually said he killed Alice
30:10I can't allow an innocent man to be locked up in a secure hospital for God's sake
30:18I can't allow an innocent man to be locked up in a secure hospital for God's sake
30:25I can't allow an innocent man to be locked up in a secure hospital for God's sake
30:27I've never meant to I should have stopped him
30:30I'm sorry I'm so sorry
30:32Eli's wrong Joe with me it's killing Alice
30:40Does he?
30:43She was always picking on me Darren didn't like it I wanted her to stop and not like that
31:04She was on the ground she was so scared there was so much blood
31:11I couldn't get it off my shoes
31:16Mm-hmm
31:18This is Billy Wells' confession from 1997
31:28Joe Nash isn't confessing to killing Alice Cullen
31:33He's talking about the murder of Yvonne Macy
31:36Joe did share a cell with Billy
31:39Yeah, but he didn't just tell the story, Alicia
31:43He's using exactly the same words
31:46Do you think he could really be Billy Wells?
31:49No
31:50Look, look at the shape of the eyes, the way his mouth curls down at the corners
32:01You look at pictures of my best mate as a kid, it could be me
32:14You're seeing what you want to see, James?
32:16They're both the same age, they're both from Manchester
32:18Joe Nash moved to London within three weeks of Billy Wells' release under his secret identity
32:27I don't know
32:29Joe Nash's juvenile record has more holes than a sieve
32:32The Home Secretary wants his kept out of court
32:35I've never heard you done as a conspiracy theorist, James
32:40There's just too many coincidences here
32:43I'm gonna be right, Alicia
32:48Okay, let's just say you are right, it doesn't change what he's done
32:51Okay, if he's Joe Nash, then he's mentally ill and he should be in hospital
32:57But if he really is Billy Wells, then he's got form, we need to charge him accordingly
33:03We can adduce bad character evidence and make sure he stays locked up in prison for the rest of his life without parole
33:10I just want to know one way or the other
33:18His prints came back from Nafis as belonging to Joe Nash
33:22Did you ask Nafis to double-check them against Billy Wells' prints?
33:27If those prints matched Billy Wells, the Commissioner would be around here like a shot
33:32Joe talked about a diary in his confession that's not in evidence
33:37No, it was never found
33:40For all we know, Nash destroyed it
33:43You've got Joe's DNA on file
33:46Can you check it against Billy Wells' DNA?
33:49Fifteen years ago, DNA profiles weren't saved digitally
33:53Yeah, I know, but they must exist somewhere
33:56I looked at Billy Wells' file as soon as Joe Nash made his claim
34:00And there is no DNA profile
34:03You don't think that's suspicious?
34:13We can't disclose those kind of details
34:16These are special circumstances
34:19We're talking about a psychiatric social worker specifically allocated to Billy Wells on his release
34:26Offenders like Billy Wells get new identities for their own protection
34:31If we handed out the sort of information you're asking for
34:36We'd be putting the offender and the social worker at risk
34:39We know he was working with Daniel Lorenzo
34:42Surely you can just confirm that?
34:45I'm sorry, unless you get authority from the Home Secretary, it remains confidential
34:51Fine, we'll talk to the Home Secretary then
34:54And he'll come back to me for advice
34:58And I'll say no
35:04We're going round in circles with this
35:07You told the police you were assigned to help Billy Wells adjust to his new identity
35:12But no one seems to have any record of it
35:14You'll need a signed letter from Joe giving full consent before I disclose anything
35:20You talked to the police about it?
35:22You know that's different
35:24Anyway, that was before I talked to Joe's barrister
35:29I'm a witness for the defence, you can ask me whatever you like in court
35:35Joe Nash has been moved to the vulnerable prisoner's wing
35:43He was attacked yesterday
35:45Is he alright?
35:47A few cuts and bruises
35:49Apparently some new prisoner just went for him in the dinner queue
35:53Do we know why?
35:55They reckon he saw Nash and just went crazy
36:00You think he recognised him?
36:05That's why I need to speak to Joe Nash right now
36:13You're Billy Wells, aren't you?
36:20Alice died in a car park outside her world just like Yvonne Macy
36:26Both were pregnant
36:29That was my kid
36:30Both died from repeated blows to the head
36:32I'd never hurt Alice, I loved her
36:37She was on the ground
36:38She was so scared
36:39There was so much blood
36:40I couldn't get it off my shoes
36:41Who were you talking about Joe?
36:43Who was on the ground bleeding?
36:44Was it Alice or was it Yvonne?
36:46I'm not the monster that killed Yvonne Macy
36:48They both died in the same way Joe
36:50No, it's different
36:51What those boys did to that teacher was sick
36:53No, no, no, no
36:54It is no different
36:55Yvonne Macy was left bleeding to death in a car park
36:57Her head beaten over and over
37:00Yeah, with a knicker shoved in her mouth
37:02Do you think I could do something sick like that?
37:05I am not Billy Wells, you hear me?
37:08I'm not Billy Wells
37:10Get me out of here
37:13I want to go back to myself
37:16Get me out
37:17Through certain details
37:19Defence and prosecution
37:21Agreed to keep out of court
37:23To save the husband's feelings
37:25But surely all the details of the offence
37:28Were relevant to the trial
37:29There were things those kids did
37:31That the press would have made a meal of
37:33Painting them as would be rapists
37:35Wouldn't have helped anybody
37:37Just look at the Billy Wells file
37:38And answer me one question
37:40Was Yvonne Macy found with her underwear in her mouth?
37:49I don't need to look
37:52I know
37:56It's true
37:59It was never reported
38:00It's not in the court transcript
38:02The only way Joe Nash could know that sort of detail
38:05Is if he was there when Yvonne Macy was murdered
38:07Joe Nash is Billy Wells
38:12The game's changed, George
38:18Now we know Joe Nash is Billy Wells
38:21He needs to be charged accordingly
38:24What difference does it make what his name is?
38:27He's done this before
38:28Why should he get the soft option?
38:30You would never have got out of that hospital, didn't you know it?
38:35And no one would ever be any the wiser
38:40Is that so wrong?
38:43You don't think the public have a right to know the truth
38:47And what do you think would happen then?
38:49I'm nobody's lap dog
38:55I'm not gonna cover this up just so the home secretary saves face
38:59You really think that's all this is about?
39:02Isn't it?
39:04If this gets hurt
39:07The whole criminal justice system comes under fire
39:14No child convicted at her majesty's pleasure will ever get the chance of release again
39:21No this is about one case
39:24No it's not James, it's not
39:2667% of the public want to bring back the death penalty
39:32There are MPs lobbying for that right now
39:35This is the ammunition they need
39:38We can't be governed by fear of political fallout
39:41It's not up to us to decide his fate, it's up to a jury
39:46Assuming Billy Wells gets a jury trial
39:48There's no risk of jury tampering here
39:51There's a risk of trial by tabloid
39:53Do you really think that we could find 12 good men and true
39:57Who could try Billy Wells without prejudice?
40:00This is exactly the kind of case that could push the legislation into frightening territory
40:06Could even spell the end of jury trials altogether
40:12You're asking me to be part of a cover up
40:14Sometimes the truth causes more harm than good
40:25Talk to Eli Smart again
40:28Maybe in light of this new information
40:31You can persuade them to take the plea
40:33Well, and James
40:36Do it before the DPP finds out what you've been up to
40:42Otherwise you could find yourself back in defence
40:47You expect me to believe you didn't know
40:53Look, I swear, I thought it was loony tunes
40:55And now you know the truth?
40:58It changes nothing
41:00I was hired to defend Joe Nash
41:03And that's what I'm doing
41:05Regardless of who you used to be
41:07This comes out
41:09There is no way that you'll get a fair trial
41:13It's in everyone's best interest to keep this out of court
41:15All right
41:25I'll book a visit
41:29Don't ask me how I got this
41:30Billy Wells' prison records
41:37Billy Wells' prison records
41:39I flagged up the last section
41:46It records identifying marks
41:53Billy Wells has got a three-inch scar on his left arm from a suicide attempt
41:57On what Billy Wells'
42:19pull up your sleeve
42:21Pull up your sleeve
42:22I'll never try to top myself.
42:42I won't do that.
42:52Two lads held me down, cut me vein with a shiv and left me for dead.
43:08Everyone knew who I was.
43:10I used to leave nooses hanging in my cell.
43:15And when they didn't get the mess, they did try to do it themselves.
43:28When I walked out of those gates, I vowed I'd never do anything to take me back there.
43:40Yes, I'm Billy Wells.
43:55But after all my time, I'd never killed all this.
44:10Who killed her?
44:17Maybe it was one of those lads.
44:23Or maybe someone found out where I was and tried to free me.
44:29The DNA evidence is going to prove your guilt.
44:47Just take the deal while you still can, or you'll stay in prison for the rest of your life.
44:56I'm drowning in here.
44:59Don't you think I'd take the deal if I could?
45:03Billy...
45:05You do realise this is your last chance to change your play?
45:11Find my diary.
45:16Read what prison did to me.
45:19Then if you still think I killed Alice, I'll see you in court, Mr. Steele.
45:38Someone's got to have it.
45:43They searched Alice's flat and Joe's bedsit.
45:47You don't think it's gone the same way as Billy Wells' DNA?
45:50Well, Ronnie and Matt supervised the search.
45:52If they found it, it would be in evidence.
45:55Would the diary have exposed Joe Nash's Billy Wells?
45:58Yeah.
45:59According to Eli, it had every detail of coming to terms with his crime.
46:04Anyone who read it would know that he was Billy Wells.
46:07Why are you doing this?
46:18I don't understand.
46:19If you tell me what it is you're looking for, I can help.
46:33This is incredible.
46:46It tells us everything we need to know.
46:49He gave Alice the diary because he wanted her to know he was Billy Wells.
46:54Which would have threatened his new identity.
47:00Joe turned up in a right state.
47:04He said he'd had a fight with Alice.
47:07He gave me her keys and he begged me to get the diary back for him.
47:13Look, I had no idea he'd killed her.
47:19I went into the flat and I took the diary.
47:28It was stupid, but that's all I did.
47:31Charge me with theft, if you like.
47:34You won't mind this, will you?
47:36When would I?
47:41I crossed the line.
47:55I should never have allowed Joe to manipulate me like that.
48:00Joe was vulnerable.
48:02You were the one in the position of trust.
48:06You've no idea what it's like working that intimately with serious offenders.
48:11Mark, this is urgent.
48:22We've got a DNA profile from the scene.
48:32I'm not under arrest.
48:44Sit down, Mr. Engine.
48:46I'm free to go.
48:47You're not going anywhere.
48:48Sit down.
48:49Sit down.
49:04It's 20 years I've worked in this job and I've never once got too close.
49:09You never worked with a killer like Billy Wills before?
49:13Billy's no killer.
49:17It was Darren Pierce who killed that teacher.
49:20Billy didn't stop him.
49:22Billy watched his dad kick the shit out of his mum every day of his life.
49:27He was damaged.
49:29And how long you came to fix him?
49:32Yeah, he needed me.
49:33To get rid of anyone that came between you?
49:35Nobody came between us.
49:38He told me everything.
49:40Because I was his lifeline.
49:43You didn't read his diary then?
49:46They were his private thoughts.
49:52I wouldn't do that.
49:54I don't need Danny anymore.
49:58All I need is you, Alice.
50:02I told her yesterday I want to stop the appointments.
50:11Jo wrote those words in a message to Alice the day she died.
50:16He wouldn't have lasted five minutes without me.
50:22You blamed her for taking him away from you.
50:25You're wrong.
50:26You were waiting for her in the car park.
50:28No.
50:29If those hairs on her body are yours, you're going to be psychoanalyzing your cellmate in Colt Norton for the rest of your life.
50:35Okay, okay, okay, okay, I was there, but only to talk to her.
50:47They were making a mistake.
50:51She didn't love him.
50:53But he loved her, didn't he?
51:00They were getting married and you couldn't stand it.
51:03She couldn't love Billy Wells.
51:06But you could.
51:11Is that what you went to tell her?
51:12No, I went to get the diary.
51:14But she didn't have it with her.
51:15I begged her to just give it to me, but she wouldn't listen.
51:21So you attacked her?
51:24No, I grabbed her bag.
51:26She fell against the corridor.
51:27She hit her head.
51:30It was an accident.
51:31Alice's head was slammed against that corridor over and over.
51:41It wasn't an accident, Damien.
51:46Joe didn't ask you to get the diary for him.
51:50In fact, he trusted you so implicitly, he never even suspected for one second that you killed the woman he loved.
51:59She said he was a monster.
52:01You're the real monster, aren't you?
52:06You killed Alice, didn't you?
52:09Didn't you, Gail?
52:09I just wanted her to shut up!
52:16She didn't deserve him.
52:24He used to sit there on my sofa like a lost little boy.
52:31And sometimes he sat so close to me, I could smell the soap on his skin.
52:38I told him, I wanted to tell him, I wanted to tell him everything would be all right.
52:45I told him that he couldn't marry someone who didn't know who he really was.
52:57And he thought I wanted him to tell her.
53:02You knew better than anyone what prison did to Billy.
53:06But you were prepared to let him rot in there for the rest of his life, just to save your own skin.
53:14But I could have worked with him, made sure he was all right.
53:23Don't you mean control him?
53:27Keep him dependent on you?
53:30What sort of love is that?
53:37He'd be lost without me.
53:42Whatever happened in his life, good or bad, it was me that he came running to.
53:50Did you know Alice was pregnant?
54:06Maybe he didn't tell you everything after all.
54:08Daniel Lorenzo, I'm arresting you for the murder of Alice Cullen.
54:19You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense.
54:22Billy Wells released, Pampers.
54:46He's a free man.
54:47Billy was found hanging in his cell two hours ago.
54:59He killed him, Sam.
55:07You believe that if it helps you sleep at night.
55:17You believe that any of them first people don't listen to charities even if anyone was injured.
55:27He died.
55:30He died.
55:33Maybe one day later.
55:37Daniel farm, don't you?
55:41The village of June 4th,
55:41and palace RAMSAY Early boy.
