In the criminal justice system,
the people are represented

by two separate

the police who investigate crime,

and the Crown Prosecutors
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

She shouldn't be texting you
in the first place.

You shouldn't be checking my phone.
How do I know what you're up to?

I'm not up to anything.
Then you shouldn't be texting her.

Jen, this is ridiculous.
I want you to delete her number.

What?
You heard.

Don't walk away from me. Rob!

Jen, stay where you are.
Don't tell me what to do.

Oh, my God.

Grazes on the back of his hands,
a nasty cut on his lip.

Also he's received
a blow to the head

which could be the cause of death.

Have you got a time, Joy? Yeah, I'd
say sometime within the last hour.

Really?
Yeah.

Richard Peters.

Right.

Thanks, love.

Richard Peters.

Saw nothing at all?
We didn't see anyone.

It's pretty quiet around here,
anyway. All right.

Well, one of our officers is going
to take a statement from you both.

You can wait in your flat
if it's any easier.

Thanks.
All right.

Guv?
Yeah?

We've found an empty pram.

And Richard Peters lives here?

Yes, guv.

It's still warm.

Well, let's hope the baby is.

Why aren't you out looking for Leo?

Like I've already said, Mr Wilks,

we have officers searching
for your son,

but they'll have a much better chance

if you give us as much information
as possible. OK?

Rick was the nicest guy
you could meet.

Why would anyone...?

Oh, God.

Leo, what if they've hurt him?

Listen, what time did Mr Peters
leave this morning?

Just after eight.

go out, have breakfast at the cafe,
get the papers and then come back.

Rick works from home most days,

so he used to say that was his
walk to the office.

And how long has Leo been with you?

We fostered him
when he was four months old,

and then applied to adopt.

What about Leo's biological mother?

She was a drug addict.

Most people wouldn't want to adopt
a baby with problems,

but we loved him
from the first time we saw him.

Do you have a recent photograph?

You have to find my son.

He needs medication twice a day.

If he doesn't get it...
What sort of medication, Mr Wilks?

For seizures. He has epilepsy.

Guv, have a look at this.

Now, this van leaves the flats

round about the time
that Richard Peters was murdered.

Have we got footage
from inside the gates?

No, there's only CCTV
on the main entrance.

We checked the van.
It belongs to a Dean Carter,

who's got previous
for assault and theft.

Ta. But murder and kidnap,
it's a whole different league.

In this assault Dean Carter was
jointly charged with Karl Simpson.

CID picked him up
a couple of months ago

for possession
of indecent child images.

OK. Maybe he and Dean Carter
had a shared interest.

I want all patrol teams out
looking for that van,

but no high-speed chases
in case he has got Leo.

Uniform have spotted the van
at Borough Market

and it looks like it's stopping.

Have you let Sam know?
No need to.

He's north of the river with his team

in case the guy makes a break for it
across the bridge.

Get in with me.
Oh, right. You going to drive?

Yes, I'm going to drive.

All units in position?
'In position.'

Ready?
Yeah.

All units go, go, go.

Move away from the vehicle!

What have I done?
What's this all about?

What do you mean, calm down?
Calm down about what?

Can you open your van please, sir.

Why?
Just open the van, please.

You got a warrant? No, I've got a
missing kid, I don't need a warrant.

You tell me, pal, that look like
a missing kid to you?

Great.

I don't know nothing
about a missing kid.

How come your van was seen
coming out of some flats

moments after a man was murdered
and a child was abducted.

Well, good news, Dean.

Your friend Mr Turner
has indeed confirmed

that you were there to visit him
at the flats.

There we go, told you that already.

He's also told us you were off
loading some stolen goods.

Hardly something to be smug about,
is it?

Anyway,
we'll deal with that later on.

I need you to try and remember if you
saw anyone suspicious at the flats.

So why should I help you lot?
Well, no reason at all.

But you should try and help the man
who's going out of his mind

because his seriously ill son
is missing. What do you think?

I tell you what.

You do me a deal with what you got
me on I'll tell you what I know.

Not a good day to barter with me,
Dean.

Right, what can I tell you?

There was a bloke and a bird
standing outside on the street.

They were there when I drove in and
they were there when I drove out.

You sure it was the same couple?
Trust, me pal.

You notice people in my line
of work, you know what I mean?

I know what you mean, pal.
A description, please?

All right. She was white,
he was black.

Both in their late 20s. Did you see
them enter the flats? No.

Is that it. Can I go now?
Of course you can.

As soon as I've charged you.

The amount of time we've wasted
on Dean Carter.

Guv, come and have a look at this.

What?

Bin lorry, followed by...

white female, black male.

If they live in the flats why don't
they use the pedestrian gate.

Because you need a pass key.
Precisely.

And if they're visiting
why aren't they buzzing for entry?

Do we see them leave? No, there's
no CCTV cameras over the exit gate.

Maybe they did,
but we haven't seen them.

All right, see if Gareth Wilks
recognises them. Good work.

That's Ruth Pendle.

I've never seen him before, but
that's definitely Ruth, Leo's mum.

You're absolutely certain?
Yes.

Does this mean you know where he is?
Not yet, no.

Had Ruth been in touch with either
you or Richard recently?

No.

The last time we saw her Leo was
still in our foster care.

As soon as we adopted him,
we cut contact.

Any idea where we might find Ruth?

You could try her mum.

I haven't heard from Ruth since
she left rehab three months ago.

How long was she in there for? On and
off since Leo was taken into care.

I paid for her to go into the best
place, get the best help,

but she couldn't stay clean.

It couldn't have been easy for you.

Ruth idolised her dad.

He was something of a genius.

They spent hours pouring
over books together.

But then he had an affair with
someone not much older than her.

She started failing her exams
which was unheard of.

I found out that someone
at college gave her cocaine

to help her stay awake.

Guess it was funny, seeing the
clever girl go off the rails.

And before she knew it,
she was hooked, yeah?

Suddenly she thought
she had friends.

I should have spotted it,
but I didn't,

not until she told me
she was pregnant.

Do you know if she was on drugs
while she was pregnant?

She'd progressed to heroin by then.

When my grandson was born
he had to be weaned off it.

Did she tell you the name
of the father? She refused to.

So you've no idea where she is now?

Try her room-mate
from the rehabilitation centre.

They were inseparable.

Come on, love, open up.

I know you're in there.
I can see you moving about.

Lisa Longwood?

Might be.
I'll take that as a yes.

What the hell
do you think you're doing?

Ruth Pendle?

Who?

Ruth Pendle.

You shared a room with her in rehab,
right?

I don't know what you're on about.
I've got a missing boy, love.

I haven't got time for games.
Where's Ruth Pendle?

I'm Ruth.

What do you mean,
a little boy's missing. Is it Leo?

You should be looking for my son.

We were hoping you could tell us
where he is.

Why would I know?

Social Services
took him away from me. Really?

Why were you at the flats
this morning

where Richard Peters was killed?
Pardon?

That is you, isn't it?

No.
No?

No? So it's a coincidence, is it,
that someone looking like you,

well, exactly like you, is outside
Mr Peters flat this morning.

Mr Peters being the man who adopted
your son.

Come on, Ruth, you're not stupid.

I mean you must have known
we'd make the connection.

Is that the boy's father?

It isn't me.

Right, you know what,
we don't have time for this, Ruth.

Listen to me, young lady.

Leo is in danger.

He needs medication twice a day,
you understand?

He suffers from seizures,

maybe because his mother fed him

a diet of heroin
when she was pregnant.

He needs tablets
to stop them from happening.

You're lying.

Why would we do that?
To get me to tell you where he is.

So you do know?

Right, we found this in your bag
when you came to the station.

Business card for a solicitor.
Why were you seeing him?

None of your business.
We'll ask him.

He's not allowed
to disclose anything.

I know that, but those rules tend to
get forgotten, don't they,

when there's a child's life at stake?

I assume I don't need to remind you
about legal privilege?

I assume I don't need to remind you
that withholding information

that results in the death of a child
would not be good for your firm.

Don't you agree?
I don't appreciate being pressured.

I'm sure you don't.

So, now we've got the formalities
out of the way,

what were you seeing
Ruth Pendle about?

She was seeking advice
on how to overturn the adoption.

Really, well I thought
that was impossible?

It is for Ruth,
but not for the father.

He's not on the birth certificate.
He was never consulted

when the baby was given up for
adoption, so he can contest it.

I did tell Ruth that it's still
highly unlikely she'll succeed.

Do you know the father's name?

Yes.

Mr Walker, I understand you'd like
to protect client confidentiality,

but we think Leo's been taken
by his dad, so a name, please.

This puts me
in a very awkward position.

Well, I appreciate that,
but you're our only hope

of finding Leo, and quickly,
so a name please.

Neil Jenkins.

And, no, I don't have a contact
address. Thank you for your time.

I haven't seen him
since I became pregnant.

So, this isn't Neil Jenkins
in the picture with you, no?

No?

There are 126 Neil Jenkins
listed in London.

Do you know how long it's going
to take to go through them?

Every minute we waste
puts your child's life at risk.

If I tell you where Leo is,

Social Services will make
sure I never see him again.

I know you all think I'm a waste of
space drug addict, but I'm clean.

And you know why I did that?

For Leo.

Because he's the only thing
in my life worth living for.

What are these?

These are web forums of parents
who have children with epilepsy.

This little boy, for instance,
had a major seizure.

And now can't even hold
his own head up.

Leo seemed fine. I'd have been able
to tell if something was wrong.

Well, the reason he seemed fine
though, Ruth, when you saw him

is because his adoptive parents are
giving him his regular medication.

But he isn't with them right now,
is he?

It won't hurt if he misses
a few doses, is it?

That's what this mother thought.

She took her 18-month-old daughter
off medication

without talking to a doctor first.

Two days later she had a fit
and now they're worried

that she can't see out of one eye.

Look.

Leo's going to be two next month.

I missed his first birthday,
and I swore I wouldn't miss anymore.

Not again.

I just want to be with him.

I understand that totally.

You do want to help your son,
don't you?

Of course I do.

Well, then, tell us where he is.

You promise to look after him.

I promise.

And tell him
that his mummy loves him.

He's with his dad. 36 Garston Court.

Thank you very much.

You've done the right thing.

Mr Jenkins.

Open the door, please.

Mr Jenkins.

No. Go on, lads.

Police!

Anything?
Guv?

A man with a little boy's
been spotted on the roof.

Well, get after him, then.
Quick as you can.

Come on, lads, quick as you can.

Take it easy. That's it.
All right. Thank you.

Hiya, Neil.

It's chilly up here, isn't it?

How are you doing?

You're not taking my son away
from me, OK?

No.
So you can all just leave us alone.

He's not a well lad.
You know that, Neil, don't you?

What do you mean?
He has epilepsy.

He needs regular medication.

No, no. Ruth would have told me
about something like that.

Well, she didn't know either.

She didn't know.

He's fine.

We've been we've been singing songs
earlier.

Hey, little man, weren't we?

Eh? Were we singing songs, were we?

Good boy.

Neil, if you care about baby Leo,
and I know you do,

you'll let us do what we have to.

I'm his dad,
and he doesn't even know who I am.

Let me take care of him,
just for a minute, eh? No. No.

No.

Come on.

You want him to be happy, don't you?

Then, why don't you do
what's right for him.

Eh? And not you.

Cos you know what?

That's what good dad's
are all about... Neil.

They put themselves second.

Who's this?

Boys.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Gareth, the paramedics are going
to take you to hospital,

just to check Leo over, OK?

Is that who killed Rick?

You leave him to us, Mr Wilks.
You just take care of Leo. OK?

Ruth reckoned that
if we just talk to them

they'd see how serious we were
about getting Leo back.

Well, why didn't you go through
the courts?

Because that would have
taken forever.

Nothing to do with the previous
you got then, Neil?

What?

Well, Neil...

..four years ago you assaulted a man
after a night out. Is that right?

I was drunk, right,
and he was winding me up.

Is that what Mr Peters was doing?

All I wanted to do was see Leo.

So it didn't wind you up, did it,

the fact that Leo, your son,
had been adopted by two daddies?

It pissed me off
that other people had my boy.

That was Ruth's fault.
She gave him away.

She didn't give him away.
Social Services took him away.

Because she was on drugs.
Ruth?

No.

Didn't you wonder why her family
wanted nothing to do with her?

They had a falling out.
And she turned to you.

Bet you couldn't believe your luck.

I loved her! All right?

You see?

You've got quite a temper.

Is that what happened
when you saw Leo?

You got angry and you lashed out.

No. No.

All I did was pick Leo up,
that's it.

And then this Mr Peters,
he went mental.

Started screaming in my face.
So you hit him to shut him up?

I walked away so Leo wouldn't see
what was happening.

He followed me
and he grabbed my arm.

So I pushed him...

..and he fell over.

Well, the pathology report says

that Mr Richard Peters died from
a blow to the head, probably a kick.

I mean, I might have caught his lip
when I pushed him, but that was it.

All right. So what happened
after you pushed him?

You need to tell us the truth.

Where is he?

He's in another room.

Will he get bail?
Why do you ask?

If he knows I've spoken to you,
he'll come after me.

Has Mr Jenkins come after you
before?

He's got a temper.

That's why we split up.

I thought I could handle it,
but I couldn't.

Well, why would you leave your son
with someone like that?

Because I didn't have much choice.

OK. So what went wrong?

It was Neil.

He just picked Leo up
without asking.

I told him to put him down,
but he wouldn't.

And then Mr Peters tried
to grab him back,

but Neil started hitting him
and then he pushed him over.

Go on.

That's when he kicked him
in the head.

Right, so you are saying

that Neil Jenkins kicked
Richard Peters in the head.

He said that'd teach him a lesson.

I only wanted my baby.
That's all. I'm so sorry.

Right, that's that interview
terminated at 18:35. Thank you.

Where are we with forensics?

We're awaiting results
on both pairs of shoes.

Not your everyday murderer is she?

Why do you say that?
Because she's well spoken?

Because she's not got previous,
unlike him.

We've got enough to charge
Neil Jenkins with murder.

Both with kidnapping.

Oh, surely we've got enough

to charge Ruth with murder
on joint enterprise?

There's not much point.
Neil's admitted he pushed him.

But he's denying delivering
the blow to the head.

He's claiming self-defence.

So unless forensics prove otherwise
it's Neil's word against Ruth's.

And hers is the one
a jury will believe.

Well, this is right
as far as I can see.

It was Ruth Pendle's idea to go and
see Mr Peters. Jenkins who hit him.

She could have called for help,
but didn't.

You wanted to see me?
Ruth Pendle and Neil Jenkins.

They're being jointly charged
with murder.

I told the DI we didn't have a case
against the mum.

Why?

Well, because Jenkins admitted
that he pushed Mr Peters.

He is claiming self-defence,
but we can prove otherwise,

given what Ruth's told us.

But we can't.

Ruth's word isn't admissible until
it comes out in evidence in court.

What we do know is that she led
Jenkins there,

and then fled the scene,
leaving a man dead.

Unless we have evidence to prove

that one of them killed
Richard Peters we go after both.

Do you have a problem with that?

No, course not.

Ruth Pendle, you're charged with
the murder of Richard Peters. What?

No! No! No!

No! It was Neil. I told you. Please!

Please! You don't know what's
happening. I need to see my son.

No, please!

Do you think she killed him?

Sam, she's a young mum desperate
to be with her kid.

Could be capable of anything.

I want taken off the Pendle case.

Why?

Because joint enterprise
is a cop out.

We should be trying
to prove who did it,

not just taking a chance
on them both.

All we can prove is that they
were acting together.

This is ridiculous.

Do you know her?

What?

Ruth Pendle. Do you know her?

No, course I don't.

So why are you so hell bent
on protecting her?

Do you know what, forget it!
Kate!

I've no idea what your issue is,

but you will go in that court room
and you will get the result we want.

Is that understood?

Kate!

Fine!

Self defence?

Forensics shows Richard Peters was
killed by a blow to the head. Maybe.

But you haven't found a murder weapon
and my client's shoes were clean.

And Mr Jenkins insists
it wasn't him either.

Is he saying Ruth did it, then?
That's not likely.

Sorry, Kate, whose side are you on?

Mine.

So, Lydia, what's your line?

That Neil Jenkins acted alone whilst
Ruth tried to look after her son.

She couldn't have known he was
planning to use violence.

So telling Mr Jenkins
that he had a son,

and then persuading him to go and
see Leo had nothing to do with her?

Let's save the arguing
for the courtroom, shall we.

We're sticking
to the charge of murder.

For both defendants.

He's driving me mad.

I got the impression
he's not your favourite person.

We don't agree on the case.

Why not?

I shouldn't really talk about it.

Hey. I know we're on opposite sides,
but we're still friends.

So, come on, what's up?

I just don't think we should be
going after Ruth.

Can't argue with you there.

But Jake is adamant he can convince
a jury she's guilty of murder.

Really? How?

I'm not daft, Kate. I know he's
going to try some dirty trick.

What's he going to do? Get her on the
stand and wind her up into a fury?

He is, isn't he?

He reckons that if the jury see she
has a temper,

they'll also see she could have got
angry enough to kill Richard Peters.

He's good, Lyds.

So am I.

What happened
when Mr Peters saw you?

He was surprised, to see Ruth.

He said erm...

he said Leo was their son
and that was that.

And what was Miss Pendle's response
to that?

She was angry.

He wouldn't even listen to us.

So they started arguing.

I could see that Leo
was getting upset...

..so I went to pick him up
out of his pushchair.

And Mr Peters told me
to put him back.

But I...

I just...wanted to comfort my son.

And then what?

He just went mad - Mr Peters.

He started trying to grab at Leo,

so I turned away to protect him.

Then what happened?

And then he came at me again.

So I pushed him away. And erm...

he fell over.

What was Miss Pendle doing
during all of this?

She didn't do anything.

I mean, she didn't kick him.

Neither of us did.

He must have banged his head
when he fell over.

But I don't know why Ruth
is saying that I kicked him

because she knows that I didn't.

I honestly... I didn't kick him.

Thank you.

Mr Jenkins.

How long were you and Miss Pendle
dating before you broke up?

About six months.

And how would you describe
your relationship?

I loved Ruth.

But Miss Pendle ended it
and never told you she was pregnant?

Yeah.

I didn't know about Leo until
a couple of weeks before I saw him.

Why do YOU think
she never told you about him?

Milady...

my client cannot possibly
read the mind of Miss Pendle.

Rephrase please, Miss Smythson.

Would it be fair to say that you
and Miss Pendle used to argue?

Sometimes.

You argued daily, didn't you?

I can't remember.

Arguments of such a scale
that she was terrified of you.

I never hit her! I'm not suggesting
you did, Mr Jenkins.

There's no need to get angry.

On the night Miss Pendle left,
did you have an argument?

Erm...

we might have.

You might have.

Could it be why she didn't tell you
about the baby?

Because she didn't want you to know.
She knew you had a temper

and she didn't want her unborn child
to ever have to see that.

No, that's not -
No further questions.

Keep going like this
and they'll stitch each other up.

Would you say you're
of average build, Mr Jenkins?

What?
What height are you? Six foot?

Erm I'm five...five, eleven.

You say you were worried about Mr
Peters hurting you and your son,

hence you pushed him
in self defence.

Is that correct?
Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Mr Peters was five-foot, six,

and of slight build.
Are we really to believe
you thought he could hurt you?

He was going mad.
He was shouting at me.

But surely you could have dealt
with that?

In fact...

...that's exactly
what you did four years ago

when a man shouted at you
in the street.

You attacked him, didn't you?

I've already been through this
with Mr Linten.

But what Mr Linten conveniently
forgot to tell the court

is that the man you attacked
was gay?

That's not why I pushed him.

That's not why I pushed him.

It's not why I pushed him.

No further questions.

One down, one to go.

Don't assume you'll have such
an easy time with Ruth tomorrow.

I can't see her posing
too many problems.

Really? Not sure she'll snap quite
as easily as you think.

Pardon?

I know about your little plan
to wind up Ruth, get her angry,

show the jury her temper,

which in your world
makes her capable of murder.

Kate. Once a defence barrister,
always a defence barrister.

What the hell did you think
you were playing at?

She worked it out for herself.
With a little help from you.

I'm sorry.
I thought I could trust her.

Loyalties don't exist in our world,
Kate.

Lydia told me to try
and undermine me,

make me question
what else she knows.

Jake's right.
You fell straight into her trap.

You both know I don't agree with
prosecuting Ruth for murder.

Of all the people to tell that to,
you chose Ruth Pendle's barrister.

We're mates. We were in the same
chambers for five years.

Which clearly counts for nothing.

You crossed a line, Kate, a line
which could jeopardise this trial.

I knew it was a risk taking you on.

What's that supposed to mean?
That Lydia's right.

Once a defence barrister -
Don't be ridiculous.

I didn't know
you lot did late shifts.

What are you doing here?

I was just dropping off some files.

What's your excuse?

Just going over Neil Jenkins' notes.

See if there's anything
we've missed.

Right. I saw Jake at the court.

We were talking about the case.

He said you had a problem with it.
Look at this, Ron.

Blood marks on Neil Jenkins' shoes.
Mm-hm.

Surely we can argue that they're
from kicking Mr Peters. You can,

but then defence will argue the fact

that the blood may have splashed
onto the shoe

when Mr Peters got hit
from his wound.

You sound like Jake.
Hmph.

Is that your sister?

Yeah.

I bet you miss her, eh?

What?

You know what, Kate?

A few weeks back

I had to go through missing persons
reports for young women,

and came across an Elizabeth Barker.

It's Beth.

Yeah, well... Beth.

It said on the report that she lived
in Manchester,

but now thought to be living
somewhere in London.

History of drug abuse.

And the contact details on the form
were for a Kate Barker.

Why didn't you say anything?

I didn't need to.

Not until now, anyway.

So, is that why you've got an issue
with the case?

Because it might be a bit too close
to home?

Spot the detective.

Well, I like to think sometimes
that I get it right.

Did you also read that she'd had
her baby taken away?

Yeah, I did.

I assume Jake doesn't know?

Like he'd care. Well that's a bit
harsh, don't you think?

No, no, what is harsh, Ronnie,
is what happened to Ruth.

The system didn't help her
when she needed it,

and now we're left mopping up
their mess.

If she hadn't got pregnant
she never would have been noticed.

Is that what happened to your sister?

Beth started hanging around
with this gang after school.

It turned out the lad she fancied
was into drugs.

So, I guess she was trying to
impress him.

But instead of helping her...

..Mum just stuck her head
in the sand,

and Dad...

Dad kicked her out.

And where did she go?

On the streets.

She tried to get help
from the social,

but they didn't want to know.

No, not until she got pregnant.

And then when the baby was born,
they took her away.

I haven't heard from her since.

I call her mobile all the time

just to hear her voice
on the answerphone.

I wonder what she'd do, your sister,

if she had the chance
to get her baby back?

Oh! Whatever it takes.

I remember the day she said goodbye
to her for the last time.

She cried so hard, it...

..it was like her daughter had died.

Yeah, I bet.

That must have been what it was like
for Ruth, eh?

Finally, someone gets
what I've been saying.

Kate...

..that's not what I mean.

I sympathise with Ruth's plight,
I really do.

And you've just said yourself

your sister would do whatever
it takes to get her child back.

So why can't the same apply
to Ruth Pendle?

You're late.

Do you want me in court?

Can you put your opinions on one
side and do the job in hand?

Yeah.

Stitch me up again
and you won't get another chance.

And tidy yourself up.

I don't want the judge seeing
my assistant looking a mess.

I'm not your -
You are what I tell you to be.

I needed Neil
to help me get Leo back.

And why was that?

I didn't put him
on the birth certificate,

which meant he could fight
the adoption.

So you didn't want to be
in a relationship with him?

No.

Can you tell the court why not?

I knew it wouldn't work.

We used to argue all the time
and sometimes he got angry.

Angry? How?

Shouting.

And sometimes I thought
he was going to hit me.

Milady, is this relevant?

I'm demonstrating to the court
that my clients only intentions

were to be reunited with her child.

So desperate was she to do that,

that she asked for the help
of a man she was scared of.

Milady, we are not making
closing speeches just yet.

Get to the point, Miss Smythson.

How did Mr Jenkins react when Mr
Peters started "coming at him"?

He lashed out.
What do you mean by that?

I shouted at him to stop and tried
to grab Leo, but he wouldn't listen.

And then what happened?

Neil pushed Mr Peters really hard
and he hit the ground.

He tried to get up again,
so Neil kicked him in the head.

You saw Mr Jenkins kick him?

Yes.

We'll take a short adjournment.

All rise.

Jake.

What if I've got it wrong?
Sorry?

If Neil is the only one who can
contest the adoption order,

then why would Ruth make sure
he got found guilty?

If he goes to prison
there's no hope of that happening.

Which she obviously knows.
Exactly.

But if she goes along with his story
of self-defence,

there's a small chance the jury
might find them not guilty.

But it's a big risk.

The pathologist report shows
that Mr Peters was killed

by a blunt force to the head.

The most likely outcome
is a guilty verdict for both.

Unless Ruth points the finger firmly
at Neil

and removes any evidence
implicating herself.

How long had you been taking drugs
before you got pregnant?

A few years. And did Mr Jenkins
share the same pastime?

No. He'd never touched them.

What did Mr Jenkins say
when he found out?

Miss Pendle?

He didn't know.

You lied to him?
Yes.

You must be very good at lying

to have kept not only your drug use
from Mr Jenkins,

but also the fact you were pregnant.

How do we know you're not lying now?

What? How do we know
you're not lying

about the day Mr Peters was killed?

It was him. I swear.

What size shoe are you, Miss Pendle?
Sorry?

My Lady?

Answer the question, please.

Five.

So why were the shoes the police
removed from you,

at the time of your arrest,
a size seven?

In fact, if the jury look at
the shoes on the CCTV image

of Miss Pendle at the home
of Mr Peters,

and then at the shoes
forensics photographed,

you'll see they're different.

I appreciate to the untrained eye
they might look the same,

but thankfully I have an unhealthy
obsession with trainers.

I never did come to terms
with heels.

But you'll notice that
there's a very thin white stripe

on the trainers in the CCTV image.

Yet it's vanished by the time Miss
Pendle is arrested on the same day.

Can you explain that?

The photo must have something on it.

I think we both know
the real answer.

You swapped trainers
with those of Lisa Longwood,

the woman whose home
you were found at.

And I think you swapped those
trainers because you knew

that forensics would find traces

of Mr Peter's DNA on yours
from where you had kicked him.

That's ridiculous.

What was it like
the day you gave Leo up?

Pardon?

Tell us about it.

Help us to understand
what you've been through.

Social Services came
to my mother's to get him.

I remember holding him in my arms
for the last time.

I'd just given him a bath
and he smelt all clean.

I told him
that his mummy loved him...

..and one day I'd see him again.

And that's why you wanted him back?

Yes.

So badly that you'd do anything.

He's my son.

So badly that you wouldn't let
anyone stand in your way.

He belongs with me.
No.

He belongs with his parents.

Gareth Wilks and Richard Peters.

Only he's lost one of those now,
hasn't he? You made sure of that.

No. You waited until Mr Jenkins
had left with Leo

and then you kicked Mr Peters
in the head.

I didn't.
You wanted to make sure

that he never took your baby boy
away again, didn't you?

That's not what happened.
You're his mum, Ruth.

Didn't you love him enough to fight
for him? Yes. Yes, of course I did.

Of course you did.

You were prepared
to let Neil Jenkins believe

that he'd killed Richard Peters
when he pushed him.

Prepared to lie under oath
so that you got off.

You switched trainers
with those of Lisa Longwood,

knowing that yours would prove
you kicked Mr Peters in the head.

In fact, you were prepared
to do whatever it takes,

weren't you, Ruth?

No further questions.

On the count of murder
of Richard Peters,

how do you find the defendant
Neil Jenkins?

Not guilty.

On the count of murder, how do find
the defendant Ruth Pendle?

Guilty.

How on earth did you figure out
the trainer thing?

Like I said, unhealthy obsession.

I'm sorry for being such a pain.

You're forgiven. Just.
Kate!

Oh, yes? Something I should know?

Plenty, Jake. There's plenty.
Can I get you a drink?
