00:00Prosecutors who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:05To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day.
00:11Don't drink now then.
00:12Not for 2,198 days, no.
00:16Mark Ellis, everyone on the estate knows who he is and what he does.
00:21Mark Ellis, I'm arresting you on possession of class O judge who he intends to serve.
00:25You can have to be a moan, you can have to be a bitch, sis.
00:27Do you find the defendant, Mark Ellis, guilty or not guilty?
00:33Guilty.
00:36Get one hand of us, come on!
00:37Ronny, we need to...
01:03Beg that for me, please.
01:18There were five shots fired from the car window.
01:21Two hit the wall over there.
01:24Third and fourth hit DS Devlin as he pushed Cade and Blake out of the line of fire.
01:30Fifth landed in PC Walker's arm.
01:32He shouldn't be here.
01:39No, I know.
01:40Thanks, John.
01:45Come on, let's get you out of here.
01:52Mark Ellis must have ordered the hit on the boy.
01:57We need to speak to Alice.
02:02You need to get back to the station, get processed and go home.
02:07Take some leave.
02:09Some cases heading up the investigation.
02:16I was here, I was on the scene.
02:18You're personally involved.
02:19The best thing you can do is give your statement.
02:27It happened right in front of me.
02:43I couldn't get to him.
02:48I couldn't do anything.
02:53I walked past the pub on the way here.
02:56I could, I could, I could smell it.
03:03Taste it.
03:04I'd pass that pub every day.
03:08And in my mind, I open the door and order a drink.
03:13But then I turn around.
03:15He's there.
03:17By my side.
03:18My mate.
03:19And I know as long as me and him just keep doing our job,
03:25I'll never open that door for real.
03:28Only he's not there anymore.
03:29That's dead.
03:30Only he's not there anymore.
03:31Only he's not there anymore.
03:36That's dead.
03:58Increased no Belg record.
04:01No.
04:02Only he's not there anymore.
04:03Only he's not there anymore.
04:03Only he's not there anymore.
04:08All right.

04:21I want you.
04:21Dualcomb.
04:22Move.
04:22Sounds right.
04:23marine.
04:23I want you.
04:26Howار.
04:27ições.
04:27Go easy on me, Mason.
04:57You and D.S. Devlin were escorting Cade and Blake back to the secure children's home in Kent?
05:07Yes.
05:11So, you collected the kid from the cells and...?
05:19No, Matty collected the boy.
05:25I went to make a phone call to my daughter.
05:30She just had the baby.
05:37So, when you joined D.S. Devlin outside, did you see the vehicle the shots were fired from?
05:48I should have gone to the cells.
05:50What vehicle D.S. Brooks?
05:53Black, dark grey, maybe 4x4.
05:59Did you see the shooter? Give us a description.
06:03I should have been by his side.
06:12I'll drive you home.
06:13No thanks.
06:14You're on leave.
06:16Don't do leave.
06:18Look, I don't need your help.
06:23Look, mate, I know it's hard to back off.
06:25You don't know anything.
06:27Well, I know there's no way on Earth you can be impartial.
06:32Go home.
06:33You've got five minutes from.
06:47This is more than the job's worth.
06:49I appreciate it, Dave.
06:50Who did you order to fire the gun?
07:08What gun?
07:09The gun that killed Detective Sergeant Devlin.
07:11I would have wanted a policeman in the ground.
07:12Well, it was the boy he was after that D.S. Devlin got in the way.
07:15If a man wanted that boy dead, he would have never walked in the car.
07:21Well, tell me you fired the gun and you may make probation sometime in the next 20 years.
07:42Well, I conquered this thing here, so I am under stripes.
07:55You know how many people are crying over Matt Devlin?
08:00Whereas you, you're in here.
08:04And there is one single person on this planet who gives a toss about that, is there?
08:12Time's up on your lot wanting for questioning.
08:23You're trying to sabotage this case.
08:25You've probably cost that screwy's job.
08:28And any evidence we get from Ellis will be tainted because you went steaming round there like Robocop.
08:33What do you think? I'm just going to sit at home all day.
08:36You're on leave. End of.
08:40Are we clear?
08:42Are we clear?
08:45Are we clear?
08:46Do not we clear?
08:47You're wrong!
08:48Do not let me clear.
08:49Do not let you clear.
09:05Do not let me clear it to you!
09:06A black jeep driving away from the scene
09:13Clipped a yellow golf
09:15Driver described as an IC3 male
09:17Early 20s
09:19We'll get the witness in for a photo of you
09:21We've got an abandoned jeep impounded
09:23There's yellow paint on the front bumper
09:25And a gun was found on Wasteland nearby
09:28Who's the car registered to?
09:31Dennis Thomas
09:32He's 25 years old
09:34An IC3 male
09:35Previous for possession
09:39And assaulting a police officer
09:41Where can we find him?
09:43Uniform visited his flat 10 minutes ago
09:46His girlfriend said he was at work
09:47Thank you
09:48Well I'm coming with you
09:51I mean this den is toned
09:52This might be one of Ellis' gang
09:54Before we're here man
09:55This number crossed our radar
09:56That is not how we're the shopper at least
09:58I'm going to get out for myself mate
09:59Do you know how many members there are in Ellis' gang?
10:02No
10:02Do you know how long it'll take you to go through the record?
10:05Weeks
10:05I've got it all in here
10:06Listen
10:07Back in Stockport
10:08My partner got stabbed by some absolute lunatic
10:12I thought I was going to lose him
10:14I know how you must be feeling
10:16But this is not the way
10:17Well it's the only way I know
10:19I've been stuck to the search for a long time
10:30With my heart commission
10:31It's been to KSV
10:32To stop the search the other day
10:34Just the other day
10:35Just walking down my ends
10:37You know
10:37And I spotted two white police officers across the street
10:40Then they clucked me
10:43And they came over to my side of the street
10:45Because normally people cross away from me
10:47You've got a record for violence against the police
10:53I shot some cock on a student
10:55They were six years ago
10:56Yeah you've also been cautioned for possession
10:58I had a split's worth of weed in my pocket
11:01See a gun
11:01Used in the shooting of two police officers
11:04Was found
11:05Dumped near your car
11:06Dennis
11:07See your gags are looking a little close to home right now
11:10Do you see where I'm going?
11:12Listen
11:12I might joke about this stuff
11:15Truth is
11:16I ain't never seen a real gun in my life
11:18What do I look like to you?
11:21Some sort of gangster?
11:24But you do own a black jeep
11:26Not anymore though
11:28What?
11:30Was it stolen?
11:33Nah
11:33A downside to one of my best new comedy yet
11:37So what did you do with the jeep?
11:40It's still registered to you isn't it?
11:42I haven't posted off the documents yet
11:44I saw it to my heart last week
11:49Which one?
11:51The one with the chicken wings
11:52The one with the attitude
11:55I couldn't find a space outside my flat
12:06So I parked it in the next street
12:09When I went to get in my car
12:11Which I got
12:12Well you didn't report it stolen
12:15Left it on a yellow line
12:18Thought you lot had towed it
12:21You didn't check?
12:25I ain't got the money to get it back
12:27Till I get paid next week
12:29Took me an hour on the chain
12:31To get here this morning
12:32Anyone else drive your car
12:35Mrs Clarkson?
12:37Like who?
12:39Well
12:40Friend
12:40Family member maybe
12:43I don't know
12:43Kids or partner
12:44No husband
12:48My son's dead
12:50Thanks for letting me know
12:54About the car
12:55But I've got work to do
12:57Eight or six
13:01Are you sure about that?
13:04Yep
13:04No that's great
13:05Thank you
13:05Thanks
13:06According to her manager
13:12Paulette Clarkson
13:13Worked eight or six yesterday
13:14She swapped shifts
13:16With one of the other workers
13:17Any reason for the swap?
13:19Yeah
13:19She wanted to be home
13:22When her son got in from uni
13:23She told her son was dead
13:26Jamal's studying sociology
13:33Wants to be a social worker
13:35He's doing well most of the time
13:38What about the rest of the time?
13:40Well he's your average first year
13:43Sometimes he turns an essay in late
13:46Or misses a lecture
13:47If he's been partying
13:48So nothing out of the ordinary then?
13:53What about guns?
13:56No way
13:57Jamal's heading for a 2-1
14:00Not a prison cell
14:01If you wait here
14:05I'll go and get him
14:10You've got an extension on the essay
14:34I swear I'll be inbound Monday
14:35It's not the essay Jamal
14:37These police officers want a word
14:39I didn't do nothing
14:56Yeah
14:56Then you got nothing to run from
14:59Matt Delvin
15:04Don't know him
15:06Devlin
15:07He was a police officer
15:09Maybe he was on the take
15:12Why would you come out with that?
15:17Well that's what you people do
15:18Make a little extra on the side
15:22Yes, Devlin was a hero
15:24Police ain't hero in my book
15:26Let me tell you
15:30How this is gonna play Jamal
15:32You're gonna drop this front
15:33You're gonna drop this front
15:33And you're gonna start talking
15:35The only place you're heading right now
15:39Is jail
15:40Get him in my face again
15:42I'll leak you down like
15:43Like what?
15:47Like that other copper
15:49What, are you proud of that?
15:53Are you proud of what you did?
15:55You killed a copper
15:57A good copper
15:59Everyone else around here
16:03Wants your arse in jail
16:05You get some kind of bonus
16:06In your pay package
16:07Could you take a black kid off the road?
16:09Yeah, that's right
16:10If he leaves bleeding
16:13I get two weeks in Barbados
16:14Sit down
16:18Sit down
16:49Jamal, the best thing you can do is talk to me.
16:55I'm your last hope.
17:01You want me to say sorry?
17:04The only thing I'm sorry about is I didn't kill more of you.
17:11I know you people.
17:14I know all about you.
17:17Some rich white kid in Chelsea gets stabbed in his front of papers.
17:23You all run around with your task force till this case closed.
17:27But my big brother gets shot in Hackney and nothing.
17:32You know, no one does nothing.
17:35He's lying dead in a stairwell and no one gives a shit.
17:43No one but me.
17:47See, he killed dear Stavlin just to even things up.
17:52Yeah, that's right.
17:53No one quits.
17:54Where can I take that brief now?
18:03Take that brief now.
18:07You've got to get back in there and charge him.
18:09No, I need to get him a brief.
18:11Do we know anything about his brother's shooting?
18:14Does it matter?
18:16It might.
18:17He's just confessed to shooting Matt.
18:19He was driving the black Jeep.
18:21What more do you need?
18:22Ronnie's right.
18:24Whatever happened to Jamal Clarkson's brother's got nothing to do with this.
18:28Absolutely.
18:29Once he's got his brief, he's getting charged.
18:31I agree.
18:32But if he's got a legitimate grudge against the police, we need to know about it.
18:36We want him sent down for life, don't we?
18:39So let's do this right.
18:40Get an extension to hold Jamal for another nine.
18:43Find out about his brother, then we'll talk charges.
18:50Ronnie, Matt's sister's here.
18:52Whenever I heard about it in the news, police officers shot in the line of duty.
19:17I'd say a little prayer.
19:18You know?
19:24Why would anyone do this to him, Ronnie?
19:29Why would God take my brother?
19:39The girl will be back in 15 minutes.
19:41You need to go.
19:43So you're going to tell me what you got there, or what?
19:45Seven years ago, Hackney police investigated the murder of 18-year-old Kieran Clarkson.
19:52What? You got the file?
19:54Yeah, I've got the Chris report.
19:56I can find it.
19:58It's case closed.
20:00Someone was arrested and charged, yeah?
20:02No.
20:04Not according to this.
20:05There were plenty of interview suspects evening, but no arrests.
20:14So how come case was closed?
20:15Beats me.
20:17And who's the D.I. that signed it off?
20:19There ain't one.
20:21Well, that's not right, is it?
20:24Someone closed this case for a reason.
20:27Let's get a handle and have a look at the paper file.
20:29Look at the paper file.
20:34This is all I've got.
20:39Where's the rest of it?
20:41Lost? Probably.
20:43But this is the archive. How can you lose half a file?
20:47Seven years.
20:48Whole archive's been moved three times.
20:51Then there was that flood.
20:53This is normal.
20:54Well, half a file just come in, eh?
20:57I'll put out in all ports for it.
21:01Well, here we go.
21:03The mainland reported gunshots.
21:05Police arrived at 1.48am
21:07and found Kieran Clarkson dead in the stairwell
21:10outside the coolest flat.
21:13The weapon was a Kemar Model 85 self-loading pistol
21:17found a couple of feet from the body.
21:18Death certificate is missing.
21:22Let's see what the post-mortem report says.
21:26Well, it's empty.
21:32What? Why is it?
21:34According to this, Jamal's brother wasn't murdered.
21:41Committed suicide.
21:42Well, of course the report says Kieran committed suicide.
21:46Why waste resources investigating the murderer of some poor black kid?
21:50Matt Devlin's murder has nothing to do with race.
21:51I bet the white kids get their brief before your officers extract a confession.
22:03Your client refused a brief until after he confessed.
22:07He's just a kid.
22:09He's 18. He's an adult.
22:10When you were 18, you were capable of holding your own in a room with a murder detective.
22:16When I was 18, I wasn't out shooting police officers.
22:21Let's get real here, Doug.
22:23This case isn't about a seven-year-old suicide.
22:26It's about your client murdering a police officer.
22:28I would have thought you'd be a little more sympathetic, Miss Phillips.
22:33Why would you think that?
22:35You know what it's like for people like us.
22:39Legal advocates?
22:44You can try and build as big a smokescreen as you like, but the fact remains.
22:48Your client shot Matt Devlin for one reason only, because he's a police officer.
22:53Was a police officer.
22:54No. Because his brother was murdered and loads of other police officers fobbed him and his mother off.
23:02This is not the sort of case you want to put before a jury, Alicia.
23:09The man your client shot was no racist, Doug.
23:15Jamal didn't care who he shot as long as it was a cop.
23:18And that's just the sore case we like to put before a jury.
23:23General Registry found the other half of Kieran Clarkson's case papers.
23:39Now, there's no death certificate or PM report, but the same witness was interviewed three times.
23:47He was under 18, so referred to as Witness A.
23:50Well, let's hope that Witness A remembers seeing Kieran Clarkson put a bullet in his own head.
23:56Does the file give the witness his real name?
23:58Yeah. You are not going to believe who it is.
24:01You are not going to believe who it is, but the worse.
24:04That only is young I didn't know again, but the wrong people,
24:08and does not know.
24:09You go out to Antelope.
24:10That time man was supposed to have.
24:23Otter, why did he kill the Neverworth?
24:25Why do you want to know about Karen Clarkson for?
24:33Because you were questioned over his death three times.
24:38Look who laid that, you know.
24:40The ghost's gonna kick off if she sees you here.
24:43You tell the investigating officer you saw the shooting.
24:46What's so funny?
25:00Seven years now.
25:02The last time I worked at the home, worked one.
25:09I saw Karen Clarkson get shot.
25:13It was hard not to see you when you're the shooter.
25:21You.
25:36It's a hell of a coincidence.
25:38DS Devlin gets shot on Mark Ellis' trial and Ellis turns out to be the one that shot Jamal's brother.
25:44I don't believe in coincidence.
25:46Jamal's brief ain't gonna let him talk to us unless he's right there making sure it's a no-comment interview.
25:51Who said anything about calling his brief?
25:54Run.
25:55Well officially I'm not supposed to be here, am I?
25:57How many times? We've got to do this by the book.
25:59No, we've got to find out the truth.
26:00That's what we've got to do.
26:01That is not gonna happen in an interview room under caution.
26:04It's too late.
26:05And why's that?
26:06The Gov's wanting him charged.
26:10No.
26:11Ronnie.
26:12Why did you go to the Old Bailey?
26:16Why did you go to the Old Bailey?
26:21Why did you go to the old Bailey?
26:45Why couldn't you have just shot some cop
26:47or walk in the beat on your own estate?
26:49Eh?
26:50You didn't go there to shoot a cop at all, did you?
26:56So why did you go, eh?
27:00It's only you and me here.
27:03It's not being taped.
27:04I want to know.
27:06Come on, tell me why.
27:09Because my brother's killer's up in court, innit?
27:14Mark Ellis.
27:16Mark Ellis.
27:17My brother wouldn't kill himself.
27:21He wouldn't.
27:23After he died, Ellis was mouthing off.
27:26Telling anyone who listened he'd shot Kieran.
27:31You lot.
27:32You knew it too, but you let Ellis walk.
27:36So this is about revenge on Ellis?
27:40Why now?
27:41Why now?
27:42Why now?
27:43It was my last chance to make sure he paid for what he'd done to Kieran.
27:57I drove around the back of the court.
27:58I thought I could get him.
27:59I thought I could get him there, but I saw that sweat box pull away and knew I was too late.
28:10I was 11 when Kieran died.
28:13What was I supposed to do?
28:16Sit there and watch my mum cry?
28:19So you couldn't get to Ellis?
28:22And so you then shot a copper?
28:25How's that gonna help your mum?
28:27Don't walk in round like they ain't got terror in the world.
28:31When my brother is walking in the ground, it should have been me.
29:01When someone you love dies, the hardest thing to be left behind.
29:11If you'd do anything to bring them back, you'll take their place.
29:25Get him in the van.
29:29You deliberately went against my orders.
29:32Now either you get out of here quick or I'll have you put in one of these cells.
29:37Is that understood?
29:59Yeah.
30:00I'm missing too.
30:01Some food.
30:02Come on.
30:03Food.
30:04There you go.
30:05Ah.
30:07Oh.
30:08Oh my God, yes.
30:11Yeah.
30:13I'm missing too.
30:15Some food.
30:16Come on.
30:18There you go.
30:19Yeah, I'm missing two.
30:25Some food. Come on.
30:28There you go.
30:49There you go.
31:11I'm going to run an abuse argument.
31:15On what grounds?
31:17Abuse of process.
31:21DS Ronnie Brooks was sent on leave, wasn't he?
31:25Mm-hmm.
31:26So what was he doing interviewing key witnesses, including my client,
31:30who he questioned alone, off tape?
31:37Well, I understand DS Brooks was on compassionate leave at the time of this interview.
31:43Which is precisely why it's an abuse of process.
31:46He had no right being in the police station, let alone interrogating my client.
31:51My lord, I do not condone DS Brooks' actions, but they in no way impede the defendant's ability to have a fair trial.
31:58I'm sorry, Mr. Greer. I have to concur with Mr. Thorne. Trial goes ahead.
32:07However, I take a dim view of DS Brooks' behavior during the investigation and have no problem with you raising this in evidence.
32:16Thank you, my lord.
32:17Thank you, my lord.
32:18I'll also be deducing evidence in relation to the defendant's brother, if that meets with your agreement.
32:23I'll hear your argument at trial.
32:25With the wrong jury and a sympathetic judge, Jamal Clarkson could be out in time to celebrate his 21st.
32:34We could make an application to exclude all evidence of Kieran Clarkson's death as irrelevant.
32:40Or we could prove beyond doubt that he committed suicide and prove the police did nothing wrong.
32:47Start with whoever wielded that felt-tip pen.
32:51Seven years ago? Are you serious? I could barely remember seven months ago with the workload I had back then.
33:04Not that it was appreciated. The Home Office Pathology Department seemed to think you have the files, Miss Bernardo.
33:11It's possible, I suppose. I'll take a look and get back to you.
33:15When?
33:16When I have time. I'm being called as an expert witness in deeds tomorrow. Newcastle next week.
33:23But maybe I didn't make myself clear. The files will be evidence in a murder trial.
33:29Maybe I didn't make myself clear. It's not my problem anymore.
33:35Hand those files over or we charge you with theft of government property.
33:39Is that clear enough?
33:46These notes are fully detailed.
33:51Cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the skull. Gunshot residue pattern noted.
33:57Is it consistent with suicide?
33:59I said her notes were detailed. I didn't say they were complete.
34:03Why aren't I surprised?
34:05There's nothing here regarding the position of entrance or exit wounds.
34:10You really need to study the beveling of the bone at both points to know which direction the bullet was travelling in.
34:16Wouldn't there be post-mortem photos?
34:18I'm not seeing any.
34:20So they're missing or they weren't taken in the first place?
34:22Well, maybe she used the pictures for a lecture or a research study. It happens all the time.
34:28So we're no closer to knowing if it's suicide than we were before we got the file?
34:32Oh, there is one way.
34:35Get me the skull of Keenan Clarkson. I'll tell you for sure.
34:52You don't have to be here.
34:55Oh, yes I do.
34:59The day I brought him into the world, I swore to God I'd always be there for him.
35:06Every step of the way.
35:22The funeral home was owned by Damien Hailford.
35:47It isn't anymore.
35:48Hailford was convicted five years ago for flogging corpses to foreign medical schools.
35:55The investigating officer thought they'd identified all the missing bodies.
36:00Except one.
36:02Look, none of this has got anything to do with Matt's death.
36:06Tell me you're going to put his killer behind bars.
36:09I honestly don't know. I thought it was cut and dry, but I had no idea that Ronnie had been involved in the investigation.
36:14No, well, he wasn't supposed to be.
36:19Please, tell me there's nothing else I should worry about.
36:25Forensics determined the bullets retrieved from DS Devlin's body were fired from a .38 caliber gun.
36:31And we found the gun that fired those bullets dumped near the abandoned car.
36:38Did you speak to the defendant?
36:40Yes, I brought him in for questioning.
36:43And did he have anything to say about DS Devlin's death?
36:48Yes. He confessed to killing him.
36:52No further questions, my lord.
36:54Did you question Jamal about where he got the gun?
36:59Yes.
37:01And whose car he was driving?
37:03Yes.
37:05And there was something else about a holiday to Barbados?
37:11Yeah, your client was extremely volatile.
37:15I was trying to make him see sense.
37:18So you got angry?
37:22No, I was in control.
37:24Were you in control when you told him that the police service would give you a free holiday to Barbados if you beat up a black suspect?
37:38I was kidding.
37:40Who assisted you with the investigation?
37:48A number of officers.
37:50Was DS Ronnie Brooks one of them?
37:52He was on leave.
37:54Yet he accompanied you and contributed to questioning a number of witnesses, did he not?
38:01Yes, he did.
38:02So you let an officer you hardly knew, who was grieving his partner's death, interview the man suspected of killing his partner?
38:11Yes, but I couldn't stop him.
38:13This is all sounding very familiar.
38:15I mean, this is what happened to Jamal's big brother when he was murdered.
38:19Hackney police made the case disappear by calling it a suicide.
38:23They kept it invisible by not only losing his files, but Kieran's actual body.
38:29My client pulled the trigger.
38:32And that is why you may find him guilty of manslaughter, but not murder.
38:37My lord, is this a speech or a question?
38:41You can leave the summing up to me, Mr. Greer.
38:44I'm not a racist.
38:46I know you're not.
38:48Yeah, but he made me look like one.
38:52Is this gonna screw up the case?
38:54It's not you screwing up this case, Sam.
38:56Got in here is what Ronnie was thinking of.
38:59Will Jamal Clarkson still go down for this?
39:09In the British criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally kick-arts groups.
39:17Reign in the sarcasm.
39:18The coppers who work the beat, and the barristers that work the courts.
39:24They prosecuted the hell out of that one.
39:26To serve, to protect, and powdered wigs.
39:30Welcome to Law & Order UK.
39:33Justice is blind, sometimes a little bit sneaky.
39:36Law & Order UK.
39:37All new.
39:39Next.
39:40On BBC America.
39:42You speak English.
39:45Can you tell us about the last time you saw Kieran Clarkson?
39:48Well, he must have been seen chatting with Reggie's girl, now.
39:54So me and my gang apart to a next end and go look for him, see?
39:59And what happened?
40:01Turn him back and start running for him life, you see?
40:05Iron man shot him in the back of him headpiece.
40:07Did the police question you in relation to the shooting?
40:18Yeah.
40:20Told them I want me.
40:22And they believed you?
40:24Looked like they did, yeah.
40:28You're serving life for conspiracy to murder, is that right?
40:32Well, that's what you are saying, yeah.
40:34So you have no reason to lie.
40:47You have no reason to tell the truth either, have you?
40:51In fact, you've changed your story quite considerably, have you not?
40:57On your first interview, you told Hackney police that you didn't see anything.
41:00After the post-mortem, you changed your story and told them you were walking up the stairwell when you heard a gunshot from the floor above.
41:11You got there a second or so later to find Kieran Clarkson dead on the ground.
41:18Gunned beside him and no one else on the scene.
41:21I told them what they want me to say, ain't it?
41:26And now you've changed your story yet again.
41:31And why not?
41:33It'll make no difference to your sentence if you kill Kieran Clarkson or not, will it?
41:38Though I imagine being responsible for a gang killing will make a considerable difference to your status inside.
41:46Well, I can't disrespect my aim now, is it?
41:50Ah.
41:51More cred to you for having shot and killed a man than having gone down for a bungled, attempted murder, I presume.
42:01No further questions, my lord.
42:06I can't remember details of a post-mortem I performed seven years ago.
42:12Please show the witness Exhibit 9.
42:17Do you recognize this, Dr. Bernard?
42:20Yes, it's a case summary from a post-mortem.
42:23It has my initials, so I must have conducted it.
42:26If I may.
42:27It contains the basic details of a case.
42:33The detailed reports would be kept inside.
42:38Only this one is empty.
42:44Does that mean you didn't do the detailed report?
42:48Absolutely not.
42:50I wouldn't complete the summary until after I've completed the report.
42:54And you know it was a suicide because you ticked the little box.
42:59That's right.
43:01I performed thousands of post-mortems and always followed the exact same procedure.
43:07And what happens after you ticked that little suicide box?
43:11The case is closed.
43:12So, hypothetically, if a police officer was frustrated with the case going nowhere, you could help him out by making that little tick.
43:24That's absurd.
43:27But possible.
43:30You have in front of you Exhibit 11. Do you recognize it?
43:42Is it?
43:46Yes, it's my notes from the post-mortem on Kieran Clarkson.
43:50Earlier, Mark Ellis gave evidence.
43:53He shot Kieran Clarkson in the back of the head.
43:56Do your notes confirm this?
43:57Actually, quite the opposite.
44:00The pattern of gunshot residue indicate the bullet entered the skull here.
44:07So, in your opinion, Mark Ellis must have been lying when he claimed he shot Kieran Clarkson in the back of the head?
44:15Yes.
44:17In order for me to tick the suicide box, there must have been other forensic markers indicating this was not a murder.
44:26I may have misunderstood the pathologist I spoke to.
44:29I think Gail Bernard is taking liberties with the truth.
44:32After what I did for you in court today, I was expecting champagne.
44:36Well, you must have already sunk a bottle or two if you think what you did today is worth celebrating.
44:41You lied in the witness box.
44:42I embellished.
44:43You misled the jury.
44:46You deliberately missed out the most crucial bit of information.
44:49Gunshot residue isn't enough to determine a bullet's entrance and exit point.
44:53You think a jury will know that?
44:55This isn't a game, Dr. Bernard.
44:57The defense will smell the same rat.
45:00Have you any idea of the damage it could do to this trial?
45:03I didn't even want to give evidence.
45:05I told you, I don't remember anything about this case.
45:08I did it to help you.
45:10You did it to help yourself.
45:11If the whole world saw how slapdash you were in the Clarkson case, then your lucrative little business as an expert witness might dry up.
45:21Your embellishment means that your entire evidence could be ruled inadmissible.
45:26How am I supposed to give evidence about a case I don't remember?
45:31I was overworked and exhausted most of the time I was in that job.
45:37Hang on.
45:39Are you saying you ticked that box by mistake?
45:41The truth is, I honestly don't know.
45:52Well, because of you, Kieran Clarkson's family will never know how that boy died.
45:56Doug Greer has called Dr. Bernard back to the witness box first thing.
46:09The jury hears she lied and we're up the creek without a paddle.
46:12Well, is he going to call Jamal?
46:16Of course.
46:17Greer wants the jury to hear firsthand how Jamal's the victim and the police are the villains.
46:22Well, Greer said that Jamal never went there intending to kill anyone, but that's not the case.
46:27Jamal told me that he went there planning to kill Ellis.
46:30If the jury hears him say why he went there and what he was going to do and what he did, then surely they will see that as murder and not manslaughter.
46:41Greer isn't going to let Jamal repeat anything like that in the witness box.
46:45Well, someone's got to make that kid grow a conscience.
46:50Couldn't you make him open up in Cross?
46:53I hope so, Ronnie.
46:55Because unless he talks, the jury will acquit him of murder.
46:58When my daughter was about ten, my then-wife ordered her a doll for her birthday.
47:08Well, the doll didn't turn up. We just assume it got lost in the post.
47:13Just in case, I went round a few neighbours' houses just to ask if anyone had taken a package in.
47:21Anyway, I got round to Mrs. Riley's house and there was her granddaughter
47:25playing with the exact same doll.
47:29Mrs. Riley reckoned she'd bought it in the market.
47:33Is there a point to this?
47:34Well, about a week later, I got a phone call from my daughter's school.
47:43My Sarah had been fighting with Tina Riley.
47:46You see, Sarah had heard me, after a few too many drinks, screaming blue murder at Tina Riley's nan.
47:56Hatred is not inherited, Mrs. Clarkson.
48:01It's learned.
48:02It's learned.
48:06You know, I didn't talk Jamal into doing this.
48:10If that's what you think.
48:12I think I understand how angry you must feel.
48:16I can see it in your eyes.
48:19And I can only imagine how Jamal felt looking into those eyes of yours for seven long years.
48:26You have every right to feel betrayed.
48:29I mean, your son's case was riddled with mistakes.
48:33And I don't know if those mistakes were racism or just human error.
48:41I do know that it hurt you very badly.
48:46The police officer that died, his name was Matt Devlin.
48:52He was like my son.
48:58My son.
49:03If your son was murdered, I swear to God, I will go after the person that covered it up myself.
49:11But I'm begging you, Mrs. Clarkson.
49:17Mrs. Clarkson, please, talk to Jamal.
49:21Make him face what he's done to everyone that loved Matt.
49:24Especially his sister.
49:27She needs justice for her brother.
49:30Every bit as much as you and Jamal need to know the truth about Kira.
49:54It wasn't supposed to go like this.
50:13Kira died.
50:15He died and no one cared.
50:17They let his killer walk.
50:22And you wanted his killer brought to justice, didn't you?
50:26I wanted him to pay for what he did to me.
50:30To my mum.
50:31I went looking for him.
50:38For Ellis.
50:40Only he was gone.
50:43That was all police.
50:45I just...
50:47I just thought...
50:49Thought you'd kill one of them instead.
50:52I thought it'd make me feel better.
50:54My lord, if my client's going to change his plea, I'd like to request a briefing, gentlemen.
50:59No.
51:01I don't need any more little chats with you.
51:08I thought I'd feel better.
51:13But it still hurts just the same.
51:19I'm sorry.
51:20I'm sorry I took your brother away from you.
51:27I'm so sorry.
51:50I'm sorry.
51:51I'm sorry.
51:53I'm sorry.
51:55I'm sorry.
51:57I'm sorry.
51:59I'm sorry.
52:07I should've moved too.
52:14I told him.
52:15Oh, my God.
