(DOOR IS UNLOCKED)

GUARD: Time.

(DOOR BUZZER)

CLERK: All rise.

Will the foreman stand, please?

Have you reached a verdict
on which at least ten of you agree?

FOREMAN: No.

Do you think if I gave you more time
you would be able to reach a verdict
on which at least ten of you agreed?

No. I'm sorry.
(SPECTATORS MURMUR)

In which case, I am obliged
to call the trial to a halt
and discharge you, the jury.

Having consulted
with the prosecution
in anticipation of such an outcome,

it is my duty to tell you,
Mr Collins, that the prosecution
intend to offer no further evidence.

As such, given this was the third
trial for the same offence,

you are now formally acquitted of
all charges and are free to leave.

(SPECTATORS MURMUR)

Court will now adjourn.

(TEARFULLY) You killed her,
you bastard!

You murdered my sister! (SOBS)

It's not fair. Oh, Tara!

(REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS)

How are you feeling about
your brother-in-law? Excuse me.
Do you still think he did it, Alice?

Can we go, please, driver?

DCI Beech, what is your reaction
to Mr Collins's release?

My thoughts right now are
with Tara Collins' family -
her mum, her dad and her sister.

Do you have any new leads? We'll be
reviewing all the evidence we have.

Are there any other suspects?
Are you looking for anyone else?
No, we're not.

(REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS)

OK. I'm gonna get our car
to come round the back.
It's insane out there.

Come on.

David?

No. No.

Hey! David!

(OVERLAPPING VOICES)

REPORTER: What would you like to say
to your sister-in-law, David?

What would you like to say
to Tara's family? Will you
be suing them for negligence?

Will you be suing the police?

Seven years ago I was sent to prison
for something that I did not do,

for a terrible crime
that I did not commit.

Overnight, I lost...

my wife,

I lost my liberty,

and, most importantly,
I lost my kids.

Why?

Because of the Forensic Science
Service's criminal negligence

and because of a police investigation
that bent every bit of evidence

to fit a theory
that was clearly wrong.

And more important than that,

much worse,

was that ordinary people lied.

They lied for their own ends,

and if they are
watching this now,

I want them to know
that I will expose them.

I will expose them
for what they have put me through.

I've had seven years
of my life stolen,

and now I want justice.

I want my wife's real killer found,

I want those that lied
brought to book,

and I want my children back.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
(REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS)

No more questions.
Excuse me. Thank you. Excuse me.

No more questions.

We should have been more honest
with the children.

We should have told them
this was a possibility.
What would we have said, Rob?

Just what?

It's not just a question of
having an open mind, DCI Beech.

We have to be seen to have one.

It was a stupid thing to say,
obviously.

It's just that we all know he was
released on a technicality, so...

I've never worked on a case that
explored more possibilities, sir.

There was no-one else. It was him.

Well, I hope so.

The public hardly need another
reason to distrust us, do they?

Which is why I know
you'll understand my need now
for a fresher pair of eyes.

(PHONE RINGS)

DI Hudson.

Yes, sir.

No.

No. No!

It's all right, darling.
(SOBS) No!

Why, Mum? Why?

(SOBS)

TV: In March 2015, the Forensic
Science Service laboratory,

which handled the original evidence,

was found to have routinely broken
standard storage protocols...

(PHONE RINGS)
..making it impossible for the court
to discount cross-contamination.

With this,
the third such collapse...

Louise.
'I presume you've seen the news.

Why don't you come over later,
see the kids?

We can have a chat.'

I want you to pick a team
completely unconnected
to the original investigation,

and then I want you to start again

to investigate this case
as if she were killed yesterday.

You think you can do that?
Yes, sir. Why not?

Oh, there are about 50 reasons
"why not" walking the corridors
of this station alone, DI Hudson.

But we need to send a message out
that, despite DCI Beech's remarks
this morning,

we take the court's decision
very seriously indeed.
Yes, sir. Of course.

Good.

Keep me up to speed on
any new developments. I've got the
Home Office breathing down my neck.

GIRL: What about the other evidence?

Well, in the end, the jury must have
decided that the other stuff
was just too circumstantial.

What's "circumstantial"?
It means that...

it was helpful for the original case

but not on its own
enough to prove guilt.

But her blood was on his coat.
It was.

But the jury believed
it might have got there by accident
at the forensic laboratory.

But...what about all the other stuff
he did to her?

Hitting her and...the threats he made
to you? Again, darling, it doesn't
prove he murdered anybody.

What was he talking about
when he said people had lied?

Well...

if he wants people to believe him,
he's going to have to say
we all lied, isn't he?

Did you?

Of course not, Jack.

So you still think he did it?

Well, you know, in the end
I think it's probably best
not to dwell on our own opinions.

The truth is we'll probably never
know one way or the other.

(SIGHS) This is so fucked up.

Jack, I know this must be -
Just leave him, love.
Let him have some time on his own.

What's to stop him
just taking us back?

Lots, Rosie.
There is lots to stop him.

I bet he's gone to live with Uncle
Phil. It's only 15 minutes away. No.

He could come and take us!
That's not going to happen.
When we're outside school!

He killed our mum,
and he could kill us!

(SOBS)

(I'm so sorry.)

Here we go.

How long have you been here?

Er...about six months.

The old place
was too big, really, and...

well, your case took up
a fair amount of time.

Both gave me the excuse
to chuck in my shite job
and take one that I actually enjoy.

For which, my dear brother,
I am eternally grateful.

Sorry. Erm...

I didn't know
how today was gonna go.

Obviously I'll clear
all this out now.

Phil...

Shut up.

I don't know how I'm ever
gonna be able to thank you.

You would've done the same for me.
No, I bloody wouldn't have.
(CHUCKLES)

Right.

I'm gonna stick the kettle on.

There's a few boxes of stuff
from the old house there.

I managed to get in
before Alice took everything.

Are they still
just outside Halesham? Yeah.

I drive over every now and then
just...just to see the kids.

What, "see" see them? Have you...

Have you spoken to them?
No, no. From a distance.

I've taken a few photos over
the years. They're in there too.

Milk and sugar?

Hey.

Hi.

Listen, I had no idea he was gonna
give me the case. I know.

And obviously I've got no choice.
I had to say yes. It's all right.
It's all right.

(SIGHS)
I'm pleased for you. Of course I am.

And I'm here for you
if you need any help, genuinely.

Listen, he knows you got it right.
Does he? Didn't sound like it to me.

(SIGHS)

Jesus, maybe there IS someone else
out there. Maybe I did get it wrong.
No, you didn't get anything wrong.

You know that. Everyone knows that.

I'm just gonna do what I'm told
and do what's required of me,

and I have absolutely no doubt
that I will come to exactly
the same conclusion

that you did seven years ago, OK?

Everything's gonna be fine, babe.

Look.

These arrived this morning. Oh.

I thought maybe we could have a look
over the weekend. OK.
If you're about. Yeah.

That's nice. That is nice.
Only two bedrooms, though. Yeah.

(SOBS QUIETLY)

(SIGHS)

Steve? Mari-Luz?
Can I see you both in here, please?

Graham, can I see you as well?

So these are copies of the original
Tara Collins case file.

Please take one each, digest, and
tomorrow first thing we start again.

And just...

We probably won't find anything
which puts Collins back inside.

The CPS have never sanctioned
a fourth trial for the same offence.

But what we might find, if we
give this our very best efforts,

is evidence which proves
conclusively this time
what actually happened that night,

and I think we owe Tara's family
that, at the very least.

OK. Thanks, guys.

Sorry. I expected you earlier.
They're both asleep now.

It took me back,
watching all those news reports.

I can't manage
on what you give us, Tom. That's
what the courts decided was fair.

Courts can get it wrong, though,
can't they?

What were you thinking?
Another five a year.

I can't afford to pay you
another £5,000 a year, Louise.

Really?

But you're a consultant now.

And all that private work.

All those pretty young milfs who
pay you to peer between their legs.

How is your new wife, by the way?

Yeah, it took me back, Tom.

It took me right back.

Yes, I'm sorry to say
that in certain circumstances
special guardianship can be revoked.

But the key thing here, if it went
to court, what the judge would want
to know more than anything else,

and actually what both sets
of parents should want to know,

is what do the kids want?

Well, they'll want to stay with us.
Of course they will.

OK. So you've already
spoken to them about this?

No, not directly.
It's all happened so fast.
But we don't need to. We just know.

They hardly remember their father.
Jack was eight, Rosie was five.
He'd be a stranger to them.

Now all their friends are here,
their family, their school.
Everything's here.

None of this even takes into account
what they still believe he did.
Absolutely.

And all of those
are very powerful arguments.

But I also imagine that, in time,
they'll come to accept the fact
that he's been acquitted.

And, notwithstanding
all the other points you make,
they are still his kids.

All I'm saying is, if he does
apply for an access order,
they'll take it very seriously.

Given that, my advice to you is
to start a dialogue with him.

What, with David? I know that might
seen impossible right now,

but, trust me, going to court
is not only incredibly expensive,

it's traumatic for everyone,
especially the kids.

But if you can talk
and find some compromise,

there might just be a way forward
that works for everyone.

I will never get over
what that man did to my family.

And I want you to know that if I was
ever in the same room as him,

I would try and kill him.

(SOUND OF SURF)

(FLOORBOARD CREAKS)
Erm...

I'm gonna nip down the shops
to get us some grub.

Is there anything in particular
you fancy?

Can I go? Course you can.

And you don't have to ask.

No, no. Sorry. Force of habit.

Here you go.
(SHUFFLES NOTES)

And er...maybe grab some beers?

(Ooh, yeah.)
Oh, and I got you this.

It's an old one of mine
but it should be OK.

I've stuck my number in there,
and your lawyer's.

Right.

I'm gonna pay you back, Phil,
for everything. I swear.

Eva, I'm so sorry.
The traffic was mental.

Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.

(Sorry, baby.)

Tim?

Tim, it's me. Dave.

Are you all right?

You're my daughter's godfather.

You're my friend, Tim.

I'm not your friend.
You have no friends.

Now fuck off back under that stone
you crawled out from.

Agh!

I am innocent! All right?!
I am innocent!

Now you say it! Agh!

Dave! Say it!
Dave! No, mate! No, no, no!

I didn't get to go
to my wife's funeral!

I saw my wife's grave four hours ago!
Let's go home. Let's go home.

We wouldn't let him take you,
either of you.

You're safe here with Mum and Dad,
always safe.

(GRUNTS)

ON TV: Just to say to Tara,
if you're watching this,

the kids and me, we love you so much,
and when we see you...

We just want you back.

And if anybody is watching this
and knows where she is,

contact them.

We just want her back
with her family, so...

We love you very much.

Thank you. Mr Collins
won't be answering any questions
at this time. Thank you very much.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Can't sleep.

Come here.

If you feel bad, just text me
and I'll come get you.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened to you last night?
I gave you a call.

I... My phone was on silent.

And then it was late. Ah. Sorry.

You know that three-bedder
in Ripley? Perfect.

Yeah. That was the one I liked.
Yeah?

I could get a transfer to Banham.
You could stay here.

It's only a ten-mile commute
for each of us. Yeah. Great.

So...shall I arrange a viewing?

Are you around this weekend?
Yeah. Perfect. Great.

Hey.

Anything you want me
to go through with you?

No, I'm good. Thanks, though.

(SIGHS)

(CAR HORNS)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

So your sister-in-law offered
to take on the children? Yeah.

With your blessing?
No. Absolutely not, no.

Cos I knew at that point that
she'd told the police lies about me.

About you hitting your wife?
Among other things, yeah.

And so you resisted it?
Yeah. I tried to.

I wanted my brother
to look after them,

and he agreed to move down
from Bolton after Tara died.

But they put up a very powerful
argument in court,

saying that the kids knew them better
and that they loved them

and it was the least disruptive
option for everyone.

And this was true?

Look, she'd been a good aunt,

and she didn't have
any kids of her own,

so I'm sure that she did
love them, yeah.

Still does, in fact.

OK.

And am I right in thinking
that you haven't seen your children
since the day you were arrested? No.

Because? I wanted them to visit me,
of course, but they refused.

Did you write to them?

Yeah, I did, at first.

And did they write back?

I got a response to my first letter
from my son,

which was understandably...
very angry.

OK.

I only ask because
in terms of the court,

they will think that seven years
is a very long time for a child not
to have any contact with a parent.

They've lived longer
without you than with.

You just need to be aware
that they will consider this.

(SIGHS)

But they are your kids,

and, on balance, I still believe
the courts would say you have
a right to see them. Yes.

But what would actually be better
is if we could open a dialogue
with the guardians.

If both sides start talking,
we could resolve the issue without
getting the courts involved at all.

Speak with Alice? Yeah.

(CHUCKLES BITTERLY)

How do you feel about that?

God, if I was in the same room
as that woman...

I don't think that's gonna be
a possibility.

It's very clear to me
that David Collins remains
the most credible suspect.

We know the blood on his coat
was his wife's.

We have the sister's testimony
that there was a history of violence
from him towards Tara.

We have a witness
who heard a woman scream,

coming from the direction of
their house at approximately 11pm.

And we know that Collins lied
about his friend Tom Wilson being at
their house until 11:30 that night.

Wilson actually left at 10:30,

which meant Collins
would have had time
to drive to Dedham Lakes and back

before being seen by their milkman
at just after 5am.

But...

if this murder
had happened yesterday,

I would be exploring
other avenues as well.

Steve.

Tom Wilson.

When he was first interviewed,
his account tallied with Collins'.

He said he was drinking and
playing cards with him until 11:30.

But then three days later,
he revised his timings.

I want to know why
he changed his mind.

Mari-Luz, you and me
are gonna look at Collins again,
but also Alice Moffatt.

Probably not gonna be a popular line
of inquiry, but the fact is she did
pretty well out of Tara's murder.

Before that, she and Rob were living
in a one-bedroom flat in Malling.

Always wanted kids,
husband was infertile,

so with Tara dead
and David in prison,
she had herself a ready-made family.

I want to go through everything that
happened that night, talk to Alice
about the meal she had with Tara

and speak to the witnesses
from the restaurant.

Lastly, just let's
do ourselves a favour.

None of this is gonna play well
out there,

so, until we're obliged,
let's just give all information out
on a need-to-know basis.

Great.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Hello. Mr Collins,
this is DI Cathy Hudson.
Your brother gave me your number.

I thought it might be useful
if we met.

(CAR DOOR LOCKS)

LOUISE: The Collins case?
Yeah.

What on earth could Tom tell you
about the Collins case?
Is he around?

He's doing a lecture tonight.
Oh, OK. No problem.

I'll just give him a call, then.
Have you got his mobile?

Give me yours
and I'll get him to call you.

So how long have you two
been married now? Two years.

And he never mentioned that he used
to be David Collins' best friend?

I'll get him to call you.

Thanks for your time.

ALICE, NEXT ROOM: I'm not having
any discussions with him.

I'll do everything I can to prevent
him gaining access to the children.
ROB: Alice, just listen to me.

What about what the kids want? We
know what Rosie wants. What a very
confused 12-year-old girl wants.

She's terrified of him.
Because of everything
she thinks she knows about him.

What do you mean, she "thinks"
she knows? What does that mean?

Whether we like it or not,
he has been released

and he will be going after access,
with a very good chance
of getting it.

So however we do it, we need
to help the kids accept that.

Our children even spending an hour
with that man makes me feel sick.

HIS children.
No. No. They are not his kids.

He gave up that right
when he killed their mother.
They're ours. They're Tara's.

This is not helpful. Really -
You have such a fixed view
of everything!

What do you mean, a fixed view?
The case, Tara...

The last seven years wasn't
just my take on things. It was
the police's, ours, everybody's.

Maybe we were wrong.

Look, all I'm saying is that after
three trials, he has been released.

Yeah, on a technicality.
Maybe, but... Maybe?!

I can't believe you're beginning
to try and defend that man!
(CLATTER)

Rosie?

Rosie?

Rosie!

'My Jack, thank you for your letter.

I completely understand your anger,

and if what I've been accused of
were true,

you would have every right to hate me
as much as you say you do.

Please believe I am innocent.

All I can think of is the day
that my name is cleared.'

Hello.

Mm-hm. And when exactly did
Agata Wakowski stop working for you?

And any idea at all
where she is now?

Any of your staff who might know?

No, I do understand. You get a lot
of churn with immigrants but...
worth asking, maybe?

OK, tell you what.
How about I drop by right now
and interview them all myself?

Yes, I'll hold.

So, do you still think I killed her?

Yeah.

On balance, I do, yes.

But there are some...gaps
in the original investigation
which I want to look into.

And I intend to find out the truth.

If you think that'll be good
for you, you'll help me.

If you don't, you won't.

So, there are three main areas
that I want you to go away
and have a think about.

Firstly and most importantly,

can you think of anyone who would
have maybe wanted to hurt Tara?

Think about her behaviour
in the month leading up to her death

and ask yourself,
did anything odd happen?

Maybe something's occurred to you
since the original investigation
which might help us.

The fractured cheekbone she suffered
three months before she died,
she said she'd been mugged.

Same thing. Go back over the days
leading up to this incident

and ask yourself, did anything
unusual occur, anything at all?

Lastly, the blood on your coat.

If it wasn't cross-contamination,

any other suggestions
for how it could have got there.

That's my card.

Call me any time, night or day.

TOM: He told the police
I was with him till 11:30,

and I corroborated that
because I just assumed
he was telling the truth.

Only later I realised
that I couldn't have been.

I had an early surgery
the following day. No way
would I have been out that late.

And my wife confirmed that. OK.

So it was a full three days later
that you decided to come forward
and correct your statement.

Why was that?
Because David was a friend,

and because I knew
I would be trashing his alibi.

At that stage, I didn't seriously
think that he could have done it,
so I held off.

And I ended up
as an accessory to murder,

and no-one signs up for that,
do they?

There you go, sweetheart. Thank you.

GRANDMOTHER: I'll drive her back
in an hour or so. Maybe they'll
have resolved it by then.

Did you ever wonder
why she never talked to us?

Tara, I mean,
about David hitting her.

There are things you don't tell
a parent that you'd tell a sister.

Are there?

She wouldn't have wanted
to worry us.

But you were there, Pete,
when he threatened Alice,

when he threatened to kill her
just before he was charged.

We both saw that, didn't we?

I'd like to go over what you saw
that night at the restaurant, Agata.

I said all this seven years ago.
I just need to clarify
a couple of things.

Do you remember if they ate?
No. They eat nothing.

They drink, all night. Very drunk.

Particularly her, the older one.

Alice? Yeah, Alice.

What was their mood?
Very good spirits.

Laugh, laugh, laugh,
till last 20 minutes.

Then shit, nasty row,
until they leave.

You said,
"They were in good spirits,
laughing and joking all night."

Not all night.
Till last 20 minutes.

The other woman
working that night - Sylvie -
didn't mention anything about a row.

Sylvie was on a different section.

Plus, she didn't see what I see
when I went out for a smoke.

What did you see?
What I told police officer.

By lavatories, big sister
grab little one by throat
and push into the wall. Nasty.

Why were you not called as a witness
at the trial? I don't know.

I returned to Poland for a year
just after I give statement,

but I would have come back
if they ask.

OK, thank you.

Phil? Quick word, mate.

Eric. How's tricks?
Yeah, all good, mate. All good.

Look, I just wanted to say that...

you're not gonna be
doing yourself any favours
letting him stay at yours.

No-one's got a problem with you,
and we understand that he's...
well, he's family, but...

you'll have to find him
somewhere else to live.
(SCOFFS)

He'll live where he wants, mate.

It's a free country,
last time I checked.

He needs to leave, mate.

(CHILD GIGGLES)
Got you there.
There's nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do!

And that, young man,
is how you incapacitate
your common or garden bank robber.

Right. Go and clean your teeth
and I'll come read you a story,
all right? Chop chop.

You know what?
I've just remembered. We did
actually try and get hold of her.

But she came from some
arse-end village north of Gdansk

and we never managed
to track her down.

Obviously, if her statement
had been key, we might have
tried a little harder but...

Right.

It's just cos she now says
that she told you she saw Alice
assault her sister that night.

Assault her? Yeah.

Assault her how? She said
she grabbed her by the throat
and pushed her against a wall.

Jesus! No. She never said
anything remotely like that.

Obviously she didn't,
cos if she had, it would be in her
witness statement. Yeah, of course.

I'm just wondering
why she'd say that to me, then.

I don't know.
Maybe she remembered it wrong.

Or...maybe she's got some agenda
we don't know about. You tell me.

I don't know. I've no idea.

Jacob!

Jack! Rosie! Supper!

Where's Jack? I thought he was
down here. He's not upstairs.

Is he with Dad?

Rob, have you seen Jack?

Isn't he back? No.

Call his mobile.

Jack?

Jack?

Jack?

(Oh, my God. Oh, my God.)

Hi, Jack. Give us a bell as soon as
you get this message, will you?
Cheers, mate.

Voicemail.

I just presumed he'd be in his room.
He hasn't been home since school.

It's fine. He'll be at some club
and just forgotten to tell us.
It's 7:30, Rob.

Rosie darling,
do you want to lay the table?

What if he's taken him?

He won't take him.

He knows this house.
He knows where we live.

I'll call the police.

(CAR PULLS UP)

(Fuck!)

Hello, mate.

What the fuck
are you doing in my house?

What do you want?
WOMAN, UPSTAIRS: Tom?

It's all right, love!
I'm just on the phone!

How did you get in here?

The back door was open.

I was worried about you, mate.

I'm calling the police.
No, no, Tom.

No need. I'll go.

I'll go.

(PUTS BOTTLE DOWN)

I just wanted to see you, mate.

And I wanted to ask you...

..were you just fucking my wife,
or did you kill her too?

Tom?

It's all right. It's all right.
It's fine. It's fine.

It's fine.
