00:00who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:08You know what Kelly's like?
00:10One little quirk in the spatter pattern,
00:12and she'll stay until she's solved the old crime.
00:14Yeah, but she left the lab an hour ago.
00:16Oh, just so he's fine.
00:18For two minutes.
00:30Kelly?
00:50Kelly?
01:00No.
01:01Oh!
01:24Kelly, Mom.
01:26Worked in forensics.
01:28She was supposed to be on an art app,
01:29Let's be on a night out with Chloe Abbott and Joy Accord.
01:31We worked in the same department.
01:34Obviously, she never made it.
01:40Hi, Chloe. Hi, Joy.
01:42Hi, Pete.
01:44We were just talking this morning at the lab.
01:48That's right, son. Take your time.
01:51Six stab wounds, all in her chest.
01:54Any sign of a weapon?
01:57Yeah.
01:57The dishwasher was running when Chloe found it.
02:00This knife was in it.
02:04So, no chance of any prints on that, then?
02:07All the buttons have been wiped clean, too.
02:09OK.
02:10Kelly tried to stop him.
02:14Defensive wounds on both hands.
02:21Looks like she put up a good fight.
02:24Yeah.
02:24Not good enough.
02:28Not good enough.
02:28We'll see.
03:15You're just on a night out.
03:20It was Teddy's birthday, so drinks at the zoo and then on to Belgo's for food.
03:26Only Kelly never showed.
03:28She was finishing off some blood work.
03:30Everyone was getting hungry, so I called her about 8.30.
03:34She said she was nipping home in a cab to get changed.
03:38Your only idea which cab fam she used?
03:40Quick call cabs, we always use the same one.
03:42When the others left for Belgo's, Joy and I went to see what was keeping her.
03:50Do you know if any mum wanted to hurt Kelly at all?
03:54Did she have a boyfriend?
03:56She was supposed to be getting married next month to Tom Hartson.
04:02Quick cabs got a call around about 8.30 to pick up a Kelly from the lab and take her home.
04:07Driving her in, so he dropped her at the house and went on to another pick up.
04:11And you've checked that with his controller?
04:13Yep.
04:14And the next pick up all checks out.
04:17Well, maybe he remembers seeing someone hanging around outside the flat.
04:21I dropped her off and watched her go in.
04:28And you do that a lot with your passengers, do you?
04:30No.
04:33But I've driven Kelly home before.
04:36So you're on first name terms?
04:39She brought the cabin in her name in it.
04:41You see anything suspicious?
04:43Anyone outside her flat?
04:45Nah.
04:45Not that I recall.
04:47And you went straight to your next pick up?
04:48Yeah.
04:50I'm bearing the seat.
04:53It's all right.
04:56Kelly Mahon's dead.
04:58You're joking?
05:00No.
05:03Okay.
05:04We might need to speak to you again.
05:12What do you reckon?
05:14Well, she'll get Ant to run some background on him, just in case.
05:17Hmm.
05:18I reckon we should go and speak to Kelly Mahon's fiancée.
05:22Hmm.
05:25I was working late.
05:27Ended up crashing in the office.
05:30You do that often, do you?
05:31Sleep at work?
05:34No.
05:35We just got this big client.
05:36I was under pressure to get their accounts finished.
05:38That's, uh, where Kelly and I met.
05:42My firm did the accounts for the lab.
05:45Kelly didn't mind you staying out all night.
05:47She would have ended up crashing at Chloe's.
05:49They're talking flowers and table plants by sight at the moment.
05:51Someone can verify you staying at your works, can they?
05:54No, I don't know.
05:55A security guard maybe.
05:57How long till I can come back here, please?
05:59Could be a week.
06:00Kelly had her bag stolen.
06:02So if you have a list of contents maybe you know of, I don't know, a purse, credit cards,
06:06that sort of stuff.
06:07And she had a debit card for a bank account.
06:09One for a joint savings account.
06:11We were saving for a deposit on a house.
06:13Her mates gave her a gift card at her hen party.
06:16It was probably in a purse.
06:18Okay.
06:19Do you know what the gift card was for?
06:20Anne Summers.
06:21A hundred quid.
06:23They thought she could get something for our wedding.
06:26No, it was a hundred pound gift card purchased last Monday.
06:30From the Oxford Street branch, yeah.
06:33The security guard at Tom Hartson's office reckoned the place was empty when he locked up at 8.30.
06:40So Tommy wasn't there?
06:41No.
06:44When?
06:47All right, listen, I need you to bail me as soon as that's used again.
06:50All right, cheers.
06:52All right, the gift card was used to purchase a red lace chemise, size 10, whatever that is.
06:59A chemise is a short 90, my son.
07:03Something you want to tell me, Ron?
07:05Yep, you've got to brush up on your French.
07:07First Mrs Brooks wore a black lace chemise on our wedding night.
07:11She was a knockout as well.
07:13You reckon our killer's on a promise?
07:15Oh, Tommy boy's trying to throw us off the scent, make it look like a robbery.
07:20All right, no activity on Kelly's bank card since the day before yesterday.
07:25But their joint savings account is another matter.
07:27So they both put 100 quid in every month, regular as clockwork, no withdrawals.
07:34Yet last Tuesday at 11am, one of them comes into the building society and cleans the whole lot out.
07:41Well, we checked our eyes with the boss.
07:43Last Tuesday, killer was at work all day.
07:45She didn't even take a lunch break.
07:47Well, then, if it wasn't her, it must have been Mr Hartson, the loving fiancée.
07:51Why would he clean out the account before they even got married?
07:56They had a row Thursday lunchtime.
07:59You got any idea why Tom would clear out their savings account?
08:03Is that what he did?
08:05And did they row a lot?
08:06A bit, lately.
08:09Just put it down to pre-wedding nerves.
08:12You thought there was more to it?
08:13A week ago, Kelly got home to find the bedding had been changed.
08:18Sheet, duvet, the lot.
08:20Tom reckoned he'd spill something over it.
08:23So, Kelly thought he'd had company, yeah?
08:27Tom had never changed sheets in his life.
08:31I suggested she bring the sheet in.
08:35For a test?
08:36Yeah.
08:37She did bring the sheet in the day after, but...
08:40as far as I know, she chickened out.
08:42I don't think she wanted to know the truth.
08:46And where's the sheet now?
08:47Did she take it back, do you know?
08:48I had no idea.
08:50It was in a locker.
08:52Got it?
08:54Yeah.
08:58Well, that's the perfect couple.
09:03Here we are.
09:10Till death do us part.
09:12Of course the security guy didn't see me.
09:14I was asleep on the sofa.
09:15He wouldn't be able to see me from the door.
09:17Are you sure that's where you were, Tom?
09:20You didn't go home instead?
09:21Get into an argument?
09:22No.
09:24But she was angry with you.
09:26We were happy.
09:29Didn't stop you playing away, though, did it?
09:31I wouldn't.
09:32I loved her.
09:33You loved her so much that you had to change the bedsheets
09:36before Kelly got home.
09:37You know where that bedsheet is now, Tom?
09:40It's in our lab, being tested.
09:42And what are they going to find, Tom?
09:44A loving fiancé or a cheating liar?
09:47Gove wants a word.
09:54Interview suspended at 9.50.
10:03Granite's just called.
10:04A woman's been attacked outside her flat
10:06by the minicab driver who drove her home from work.
10:09You think there's a link?
10:11Victim's attempt at the forensic service lab
10:13where Kelly worked.
10:17I was working late,
10:19so I didn't want to risk the walk to the tube.
10:24And there's this minicab parked up
10:28right near where I work.
10:32He said he'd just drop someone off.
10:35Can you remember the name of the cab company?
10:39No, I'm sorry.
10:40He took you back to your place, yeah?
10:47Well, I was halfway down the steps to my flat
10:50before I realised that he was behind me.
10:55And the next thing I knew,
10:57he had me pinned up against the wall.
11:00It's okay.
11:02Take your time.
11:05He said he had a knife.
11:07And that if I didn't do what he wanted,
11:09he'd kill me.
11:11And he told me to open the door.
11:17And...
11:18I was so scared I couldn't find my keys, so...
11:23You're doing really well, Lucy.
11:28He got really angry,
11:29and he ripped the back of my chest
11:33with a knife.
11:37And he started touching me.
11:42This car horn started beeping.
11:46And he just grabbed my bag and ran off.
11:49And...
11:51I had the cab pull away.
11:57Can you describe the cab?
12:04It was green, I think.
12:06Maybe blue.
12:07And do you see his face?
12:09Only for a second or two.
12:11Anything else you can remember at all?
12:13Something sticks in your mind?
12:17Um...
12:17We had these trainers on.
12:19They were white with a blue stripe.
12:21And, um...
12:22But one of them had...
12:24Orange paint on...
12:26Splashed on the toe.
12:28And it was on the right foot.
12:31Okay.
12:32You've done really well.
12:33Thank you, Lucy.
12:36Right.
12:37If you'll excuse us.
12:38It looks like the fiancée's off the hook.
12:46Yeah.
12:46And we've got a cab dropper out there
12:48praying on young women.
13:03Yeah, he pinned me up against that wall.
13:05I mean, if it hadn't been for that car horn.
13:10Well, if we ever find the driver,
13:12you can thank him.
13:13Yeah.
13:14Well, why don't we get the sockos down there, right?
13:18Because we might have dropped something.
13:19We'll do it.
13:22I heard that blood expert from work died.
13:24Do you think it's the same bloke?
13:26Could be.
13:28Listen, you said you'd lost your keys.
13:30Do you think they were in your bag?
13:31Yeah, definitely.
13:32I was just all fingers and thumbs.
13:35Oh, God.
13:35What do you think he's got, then?
13:37Well, you might want to stay somewhere else tonight.
13:40Call a friend.
13:41Just until you've had the locks changed.
13:44Okay.
13:45I don't really know who, though.
13:46I've only been in London a few weeks.
13:51Okay.
13:53We'll sort something.
13:53Both girls are employed at the forensic services lab.
14:03They both get into minicabs from work.
14:06I mean, if it isn't the same bloke,
14:07it's one hell of a coincidence.
14:08There's no evidence that Kelly's mum was sexually attacked.
14:12Yeah, but Kelly fought back.
14:13I mean, it could be that she got him so riled that he lost control and killed her.
14:17Yeah.
14:17I mean, it's possible.
14:21Yes, Casey.
14:24Yeah, I'll be down in two sacks.
14:26Okay.
14:30Lucy's remember something else.
14:31She's downstairs?
14:33I thought you took her home last night.
14:36Well, she couldn't get in.
14:37The bloke who attacked her took her keys.
14:39So she crashed in the soft room.
14:41What's wrong with the hotel?
14:44She didn't feel safe on her own.
14:46It was only for one night.
14:48I hope so.
14:49I'm not running a B&B.
14:51There was one of those beaded cushions on the front seat of his cab
14:59and he must have been wearing a leather jacket
15:01because I could hear it sort of squeaking against the beads when he moved.
15:04Oh, well, that's great.
15:05Thank you, Lucy.
15:09Thanks for letting me stay, Detective.
15:12That's no problem.
15:13And it's sad.
15:21First-name terms?
15:25Eh?
15:29What? She's one of us.
15:30One of us? She works in payroll.
15:32Yeah, for forensic services.
15:34She's a victim, Sam.
15:36Even if she's blessed in the looks department.
15:38Really?
15:39I didn't notice.
15:42Not much.
15:44I'll get the warrant for the taxi driver, shall I?
15:51I'll get the warrant for the taxi driver.
16:21Carl Lucas, I'm arresting you on the suspicion of murder, robbery, and attempted rape.
16:30What?
16:31You do not have to say anything, but it may help me your defense if you do not mention one question.
16:34Something which you let have a line in court.
16:36If you do say, you're going to be given in evidence.
16:42This cab's going to forensic services.
16:46Sarah is trying it.
16:48I swear to God, man, she got out of my cab and that was the last time I saw her.
16:52Yeah, just like you never saw Kelly Martin after she got out of your cab.
16:56Oh, that's the truth.
16:57So why did you run?
17:00Straight up.
17:04My cousin gave me a load of iPads last night.
17:07What? Nicked, I'll take it.
17:09They're in the boot, my cab.
17:12I thought you were after them.
17:14You been inside, Carl?
17:16You know I have.
17:19Two years, GBH?
17:21Yeah, that's right.
17:23And your DNA was all over the bloke you punched?
17:25The bloke inside my girl.
17:27I knocked him once, walked away, and next thing I know I got old Bill blanking on my door.
17:31But it was the blood on your clothes that got you convicted, no?
17:34Yeah.
17:37But what's any of this got to do with those girls?
17:39Well, we think that you've got a grudge against women who work in forensic services.
17:48You're taken, right?
17:49No.
17:50No.
17:53I mean, two years to sit in jail and stew over whose fault it was that you were sitting in that cell.
18:00Look, I know whose fault it was.
18:02It was mine.
18:04And the drink.
18:05What?
18:06Not Kelly Mahnes.
18:07Not Lucy Kennars.
18:08Not any other woman working for forensic services.
18:10Just unlucky enough to get in your cab.
18:13What?
18:14What?
18:15Who is strong?
18:16What did?
18:17It's notIRED Citing and plane Weems.
18:18IereMoon more staff.
18:19Maybe.
18:20Maybe.
18:21Even if you applied to our hospital.
18:22No one more will be the only one.
18:23zin Her.
18:24I can't forgive you.
18:25No one cares.
18:26I can excuse them to bring you up.
18:27Don't talk.
18:29See ya.
18:30Kamasyn over there.
18:31await the phone you calliminOR Byerun The Mort's Office participation.
18:33The Bill won't civil-productions before anyengineer.
18:35I can't ask you!
18:36I can't evenæ© kay if you asked you.
18:37No one more ever went.
18:38You appear to buy a cab to our brother discussed.
18:39All I have!
18:40You're sĂłlo in your hotel-type business thatè·Ż.
18:43She clearly doesn't recognize any of us.
18:50Take as long as you need, Lucy.
18:57I'm sorry.
19:00I didn't realize it would be this scary.
19:12It's okay.
19:19They can't see you.
19:30It's number two.
19:33That's the man that attacked me.
19:42It really freaked me out seeing him again.
19:54Well, he's in one of our cells now, so he's not gonna hurt you.
19:59I still haven't been home yet.
20:02A bit spooked about getting a cab, I guess.
20:05Well, that's understandable.
20:07I'll get someone and give you a lift.
20:12Do you know what? It's practically in my way, so I'll run you home.
20:16Are you sure?
20:17Yeah.
20:21Thanks for everything.
20:22You're welcome.
20:23I shouldn't even be here. I was supposed to be on a plane to Tokyo this morning, visiting my little sister.
20:33Was she love out there?
20:34No, she was just traveling, but she's been away for 18 months, and I always said I'd meet her in Japan.
20:39I always wanted to go there anyway, so...
20:40Ah, you should. It's an amazing country.
20:41Have you been?
20:42Yeah.
20:43Not that I saw much of it. I spent most of my time partying in Shinjuku.
20:45You don't strike me as the clubbing type.
20:46What, you think coppers can't have a bit of fun?
20:48No.
20:49No.
20:50No.
20:51It was before I joined the force. I was just a kid.
20:52No.
20:53But I had a really good job.
20:54No.
20:55It's a bit of fun.
20:56No.
20:58No.
20:59No.
21:00No.
21:01No, no.
21:02No, no, no.
21:03No.
21:04No.
21:05No.
21:06No.
21:07No, no, no.
21:10No, no.
21:11No, no.
21:12No, no, no.
21:13No, no, no.
21:14No, no, no.
21:15No, no, no.
21:16No, no, no, no, no.
21:17No, no.
21:18So, um, it probably would be against the rules to ask you for a drink then.
21:26I mean, you know, it would probably feel a lot safer if you came and checked the place out.
21:35Yeah, I'm, uh, really not supposed to.
21:48The best bit for me was heading out of the city.
21:56There's this temple in Kamakura with a Buddha, and it's 13 metres high.
22:00People leave offerings at his feet.
22:03I mean, Tokyo is great, it's a head rush, but...
22:06I don't know, life was just so still there.
22:09Like, it just stopped.
22:11I had this feeling that I'd been there before.
22:14What, like, in another life?
22:17Sounds stupid, isn't it?
22:20No.
22:22I don't know, I just... just felt peaceful, somehow.
22:29You make it so easy.
22:33Make what easy?
22:35I mean, you let people in, don't you?
22:39Most men are so shut down.
22:47You know, it's hard to imagine what it's like out there now.
22:54Tsunami hits in your home, your business, your whole life.
22:59Swept away in seconds.
23:01I guess we all live on tectonic plates of one kind or another.
23:07Something shifts and, okay, not as big as an earthquake, but...
23:13You feel it all slipping away.
23:15You really scared you, didn't you?
23:21I thought it was gonna kill me, Sam.
23:27I'm sorry I should cry.
23:28No, please don't.
23:29I'm sorry I should cry.
23:30No, please don't.
23:31I'm sorry I should cry.
23:32No, please don't.
23:33I'm sorry I should cry.
23:34I'm sorry I should cry.
23:35No, please don't.
23:36I'm sorry I should cry.
23:37No, please don't.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:48I'm sorry I should cry.
23:49No, please don't.
24:06We've noticed a lot of suspicious activity round here lately.
24:19Fractalow, where's your proof?
24:36Yesterday's clothes.
24:46You should be a copper.
24:48We've got textbook evidence here, son. Don't mess it up.
24:52I know what I'm doing.
24:53Really?
24:54Well, you've forgotten what they taught you at Hendon, have you?
24:57Rule one, never get personally involved with a victim.
25:01Yeah, because you never got personally involved in a case, did you?
25:06Well, I tell you what, Sam.
25:08I never slept with the only witness. You're making a mistake, mate.
25:13Just leave me alone, Monty.
25:15Look, I never had a dad.
25:17Don't need one now.
25:25My client has no reason to abscond.
25:29He's perfectly happy to surrender his passport.
25:31He may well be, Miss Dyer, but we're talking about a violent, unprovoked knife attack and an attempted rape.
25:37Not to mention the two women he attacked work for forensic services.
25:41If he's bold enough to attack police staff, who knows what else he's capable of.
25:46Quite.
25:47I think we'll all sleep a little sounder if I remand the defendant in custody.
25:52All rise.
25:53I get the idea excluded and your case falls apart.
26:06Good luck with that.
26:08You think I don't have grounds?
26:13What are her grounds?
26:15Absolutely no idea until she puts in an application.
26:18She's probably just trying it on.
26:20You know what a vet's like.
26:22She loves a good spa with you.
26:24Certainly natural.
26:26Look, I'll go see Lucy.
26:27Make sure her ID's watertight.
26:33We need to know you're absolutely certain that was the man who attacked you.
26:38I'm certain.
26:38You said in your police statement you only saw his face for a second or two.
26:44He held a knife to my throat.
26:46I may only have seen his face for a moment, but I'll never forget it.
26:51There were seven men, and I recognised number two as the man who'd attacked me.
26:57And do you see him in this court now?
27:01That's him.
27:02You were giving your statement until the early hours, and then you grabbed a couple of hours' rest in a police soft room, didn't you?
27:14So, you must have been feeling rather sleepy the next day when you misidentified my client.
27:21No, I would have recognised him if I hadn't slept in a week.
27:24Perhaps you were feeling unwell.
27:26No.
27:26Well, I'm sorry I'm confused, because you grabbed hold of DS Casey's hand, didn't you?
27:34Why would you do that?
27:38I was nervous.
27:40In fact, you held his hand right through the entire ID parade.
27:47Yes.
27:50Maybe DS Casey gave your hand a little squeeze.
27:54I don't recall.
27:56Maybe he squeezed it twice to indicate number two, the defendant.
28:02No, he wouldn't do that.
28:04Sam's an honest man.
28:05Sam.
28:07Not DS Casey.
28:11DS Casey is an experienced police officer.
28:15To suggest that he would try and influence an ID is preposterous.
28:20I'm sorry, Mr. Thorne.
28:21Physical contact between an officer and a witness making an ID is absolutely unacceptable.
28:28Miss Dyer, I'm granting your application.
28:32The ID parade evidence is excluded.
28:35What the hell were you thinking?
28:37What was I supposed to do?
28:38She was terrified.
28:39Do I need to tell you that?
28:41The ID was all we had, Sam.
28:43Look, you can't drop the case.
28:44Of course not.
28:45But unless we get some new evidence, we're never going to bring this home.
28:49Is there any word on the forensics?
28:51We're chasing that today.
28:52Without the ID, the defence can reapply for bail.
28:55Carl Lucas could be out there looking for his next victim.
29:04Heard what happened in court.
29:06Please tell us you've got something, Chloe.
29:08There weren't any footprints at the scene of Kelly's death,
29:11so I wouldn't have expected to find any blood on the soul of Lucas' trainer,
29:15but I did find blood.
29:18Just here.
29:19So he must have splashed onto his trainers when he stabbed her.
29:23Well, we didn't find any blood-stained clothing when we searched his place,
29:27just assumed he'd got rid of it, so why keep hold of his trainers?
29:30He wouldn't have noticed the blood on the trainer.
29:33It's microscopic, but I've got enough for a profile and it's a match.
29:38Yeah, but she made me look like a liar.
29:39She was just doing her job.
29:41Anyway, you don't have to worry about any of that now.
29:44Carl Lucas is going down.
29:46We've got forensics proving that he killed Kelly.
29:48Don't mind, there's no getting around that.
29:50We should be celebrating.
29:54What do you fancy?
29:55Indian?
29:56Thai?
29:57Yeah.
29:58Hang on a minute.
29:59You chose last night.
30:00Yeah, but I only chose pizza because I knew that's what you wanted.
30:06Okay, you choose again.
30:09Now, how about we forget about that takeaway?
30:12Fresh?
30:15Fresh?
30:20Just let me freshen up, yeah.
30:22I don't know.
30:52Running just takes that I've got going.
31:11Tomorrow night?
31:14Yeah.
31:16Yeah.
31:17It's a date.
31:22It's the same night, it's the same size, it's exactly the same as the one bought with the gift card.
31:32You've interrupted my beauty sleep to tell me that.
31:36They must have sold hundreds of them.
31:38No, they sold less than ten.
31:40They told me it was a new line that that was all the stuff they had until next month.
31:44So, we've got Kelly's blood on the cabbie's trainers.
31:48That's forensic evidence.
31:49We can't argue with that.
31:50So, how's that red chemise ended up with Lucy?
31:55Maybe I got her wrong.
31:59Maybe the cabbie's telling the truth.
32:01What, you think she's a killer?
32:02No.
32:04But she's hiding something.
32:05Okay, guys, I went through the list of all the companies and personnel that had day-to-day contact with the department where Lucy was temping.
32:15And the company wage slips are usually posted out to the accountants.
32:20But a few months ago, they were collected in person.
32:23Lucy Kennard was the temp that packed them up and handed them over.
32:28Who did she hand them to?
32:29Tom Harts and Kelly Mons' fiancé.
32:36Well, I don't remember.
32:39Really?
32:40Well, one of the counter staff at the lab saw you flirting with Lucy.
32:46She came on to me.
32:48Yeah, of course she did.
32:53So, you met her at the lab, took a shine to her, then I don't know what.
32:57Maybe you bought her a present?
32:59No.
33:00A red nightie.
33:02Bought with your fiancé's gift card.
33:04Well, the gift card was stolen.
33:05You told me that.
33:06Oh, come on, Tom.
33:07It all makes sense now.
33:09You had the hearts for Lucy, didn't you?
33:11She knocked you back.
33:12You got it right.
33:12Kelly found out that you'd been coming on to her.
33:15You got into her five weeks.
33:15I wasn't coming on to her.
33:17I was sleeping with her.
33:18Oh, shut up!
33:20What?
33:21He's lying through his teeth.
33:25Carry on.
33:25It only happened a few times, but I was ready to give it all up for her.
33:32I was going to leave Kelly.
33:34Then Lucy's sister, Sasha, got sick, and it sort of put a dampener on things.
33:39She was backpacking around India when she got malaria.
33:42She didn't have travel insurance.
33:44Lucy needed a couple of grand to pay her medical expenses.
33:48You gave her the money.
33:49I know I was stupid, but Sasha could have died.
33:52I couldn't bear to see Lucy so upset.
33:55You took the money from the account.
33:56I told Kelly as soon as I'd done it.
33:59She was furious.
34:01She guessed that Lucy and I were more than friends.
34:05So, if we ask Lucy, she's going to confirm you're having an affair, is she?
34:11No, we're not anymore.
34:14After I gave her the money, she stopped returning my course.
34:18Hang on.
34:19If all this is true, then why didn't you tell us all this before?
34:23Oh, I was scared.
34:25You don't live life with an alibi in your back pocket expecting to get accused of murder.
34:31So, you reckon Lucy Kennard made up the whole accusation against the cabbie?
34:36Yeah, because she was under pressure from Tom Hartson.
34:39I mean, he pays her sister's medical expenses and she feels like she owes him one.
34:44So, how come she gave such a good description of the cabbie, right down to the paint-spattered trainers?
34:49Maybe Lucy saw him pick up Kelly Marne from work.
34:53No, no.
34:54Tom Hartson told her what to say.
34:58Are you sure you're not getting carried away?
35:05She's got a red hand somewhere's night, just like the one bought with the gift card.
35:09And how would you know that?
35:14Because I saw it in her bathroom.
35:18And what were you doing in her bathroom, Sam?
35:20She invited me in.
35:25To do what exactly?
35:29Would you give us a few minutes, Ron?
35:31Mm-hmm.
35:31I could suspend you, Ron.
35:39What the bloody hell would you think of, Sam?
35:47Are you serious?
35:49He apologizes for any embarrassment he's caused.
35:53I should hope so, too.
35:54I take it he's suspended.
35:56Well, I haven't ruled it out, but...
35:58Before I make that decision...
36:01It is possible to use his mistake to our advantage.
36:06I hope you're right, because if this goes wrong, all you'll be doing is giving defense more ammunition to throw at us.
36:14It'll be my neck on the line, Henry.
36:18Are you sure I can't tempt you?
36:19No.
36:20I, uh, I'll need to keep my head clear.
36:24Well, you're not going back to work tonight, are you?
36:26I don't know when I'm going back.
36:27I, um, I got suspended.
36:30My boss found out about me and you, so...
36:33I'm so sorry.
36:37Yes.
36:37No, I never meant for...
36:38No, you just know.
36:39It's not your fault.
36:41I feel responsible.
36:43Well, don't.
36:44We met in a case, but we could have met at work.
36:48Listen, I, um, I'm thinking about going, aren't we?
37:00You know, like your sister, just chucking my stuff in a backpack and going.
37:08Wow.
37:12What about the case?
37:14Who's going to look after me?
37:16Well, Ronnie will.
37:19You know, I'm not sure he buys into the cops' theory anyway.
37:24What theory?
37:27They found out about you and Kelly Mines' fiancée meeting at the lab that time.
37:34They reckoned that you had some sort of a fling.
37:37But don't worry, I put them straight.
37:39It was just a coincidence.
37:41Yeah, of course it is.
37:43If there is anything else, though, you can tell me.
37:50I mean, I can get Ronnie and sort it out, whatever it is.
37:53I don't know what you mean.
37:57Well, I mean, if this Tom Hartson bloke tried to make you cover up for him, then you can tell me the truth.
38:05I told you the truth.
38:08It was the cabbie.
38:09Why are you doing this?
38:11Because Tom Hartson reckons he gave you two grand and that you were having an affair.
38:17Well, I never slept with him.
38:19It's okay.
38:24You can tell me the truth.
38:25He's lying.
38:28She's too clever.
38:29She's not going to incriminate herself.
38:32Lucy, I wish you'd be honest with me.
38:34Just tell me everything.
38:36I can help you.
38:38Do you want us to pull it, Gov?
38:39Let's roll out plan B.
38:41Bring her in and search the flat.
38:43Lucy Kennard, I'm arresting you on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
38:48You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
38:53something which you later rely on in court.
38:56Be quiet.
38:57Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
39:00No, he's through there on the back of the door.
39:03Closed shoes.
39:04Bag the lock.
39:07Go.
39:09Bag it.
39:10You know how to pick and throw yourself.
39:12Are you saying you didn't have an affair with him?
39:25That's right.
39:26I just found out about my sister Sasha being ill, and he was there, and he was really nice,
39:31and I told him about her.
39:34And he just handed over to Grant.
39:36She asked for his help.
39:37He wanted to.
39:39Out of the kindness of his heart.
39:40Look, I'm not stupid.
39:43Yeah, I know what he wanted.
39:46But I took his money because I was desperate.
39:48I wouldn't sleep with someone for money, and I wouldn't sleep with a married man.
39:52Tom Hartson wasn't married.
39:54No, but he's engaged.
39:55I'm not like that.
39:56After his fiancée died, he thought the police were going to arrest him, so he begged Lucy to make up a story about the cabbie.
40:05He told her what to say about the pain, the trainers.
40:08And you just agreed to commit perjury for him?
40:11I owed him.
40:13I mean, he saved my sister's life.
40:16I didn't think for a minute that he'd killed Kelly Mark.
40:19What about the Red Knightie?
40:23Tom sent that to me after I'd given my statement to say thank you.
40:28There's no forensics implicating either of them in the murder.
40:34We've been through everything.
40:35Their clothes, their shoes, nothing.
40:39Fantastic.
40:40Tom Hartson had a motive.
40:42If Kelly found out about the affair, maybe they got into a fight.
40:46Easy to see how that could happen.
40:47Well, if she was sleeping with him, Lucy's got motive too.
40:51Maybe she wanted Kelly out of the way so she could have Tom all to herself.
40:55It would all be a lot simpler if DS Casey hadn't jumped into bed with her.
40:59You think that's the only problem here?
41:01You presented blood evidence implicating the cab driver.
41:06Someone had to tell me how Kelly Marne's blood got on his shoes.
41:10Specimen 23, taken from Carl Lucas' trainer, is Kelly Marne's blood.
41:19And you're 100% certain of that?
41:22Absolutely.
41:24Why?
41:26The woman who claimed he attacked her admitted she lied.
41:30Kelly's fiancé is the main suspect now.
41:32But the police...
41:35They were so certain it was Lucas.
41:38You and Kelly Marne were close.
41:41Like sisters.
41:42So you go that extra mile to see her killer convicted.
41:45If we go to court with this blood evidence,
41:47you realise you'll have to go in the witness box to vouch for its credibility.
41:53When the idea was chucked out,
41:57I thought he was going to walk.
41:59What did you do, Chloe?
42:01We processed the blood samples from the murder scene.
42:04I took blood from one of those samples and
42:10it's sad that I found it on Lucas' shoe.
42:15You planted the evidence?
42:17Everyone was so sure it was him.
42:20So there's no evidence that Carl Lucas was ever anywhere near Kelly Marne?
42:24I thought he killed my best friend.
42:26I didn't want to see him get away with it.
42:30An innocent man's locked up in a police cell
42:32and the real murderer's walking free.
42:35Do you have any idea the damage you've done?
42:39Chloe told the police Kelly brought Sheetan to work.
42:42She suspected Tom had another woman in their bed.
42:46What happened to it?
42:47The police had it tested,
42:49came back with two sets of DNA,
42:51Tom Hartson's and one unknown female's.
42:54Only now we have DNA from Lucy Kennard's arrest sample.
42:59Forensics retested the sheet.
43:01It's positive for Tom Hartson's and Lucy Kennard's DNA.
43:05So she lied.
43:06Hartson was telling the truth.
43:08They were sleeping together.
43:10Maybe Kelly found out they were having an affair
43:12and confronted her with it.
43:13Can't you see what's going on here?
43:17Hartson claimed that Lucy went cold on him
43:20after he gave her the money.
43:21She tells him her sister's sick,
43:24he hands over two grand
43:25and suddenly she loses interest in him.
43:27Doesn't that sound like a con to you?
43:29Yeah.
43:31So if you're right,
43:32she's probably done this before.
43:36Melanie Carter.
43:38I'm hearing this bad way I'll go to after work.
43:41Her real name's Lucy Kennard.
43:44It says in your police report
43:45that she took you for five grand.
43:47She told me her sister was an aid worker in Mozambique.
43:50Then she got sick.
43:52A few days later she turned up in tears.
43:54Said her sister had died.
43:56She couldn't afford to fly her body home to bury her.
44:01When I first met her,
44:03she told me I made it easy.
44:04I thought she meant easy for her to fall for on me.
44:11Now I know what she meant.
44:12Easy for her to con me.
44:15We might need you to give evidence.
44:17Of course.
44:18Anything I can do to help you get her.
44:23You know,
44:24I got a call a couple of months back.
44:26Some woman wanted to talk to me a bit, Melanie.
44:29Said she worked for the police.
44:30In forensics, I think.
44:32I called back,
44:33left a message,
44:34never heard from her again.
44:36Her name was Kerry something.
44:38Kelly Marne?
44:39Yeah, that's it.
44:47Don't say it.
44:56There are three more reports.
44:59She used a different name every time,
45:00but the con's the same.
45:02My sister's dying,
45:03she's overseas,
45:04I need money to help her.
45:05We need to find out if Lucy cannot even has a sister.
45:08We need to get Lucas out of jail.
45:11Unpup the charges against Lucy cannot to murder.
45:13Could we call Ronnie to give the police evidence?
45:16Good, if only.
45:18Sam found the crucial piece of evidence,
45:20so we're officially screwed on that one.
45:25I found a red nightie in the defendant's bathroom
45:28that matched the one bought with the card
45:30that was stolen from Kelly Marne's bag
45:33the night she was murdered.
45:34Were you involved in a personal relationship
45:36with the defendant?
45:38I was.
45:39We had a brief relationship
45:40which ended as soon as I started to suspect
45:43that she was involved in Kelly Marne's murder.
45:47Before you arrested my client,
45:50didn't you have another suspect?
45:52The cab driver?
45:53Yes, but only because Lucy Kennard falsely accused him.
45:57Oh, I thought there was blood evidence
46:01linking him to the crime scene.
46:03That turned out to be fabricated.
46:05By who exactly?
46:06A scientist working in the police forensics lab.
46:09So essentially the police framed an innocent man
46:12and when the case fell apart,
46:15you went looking for another innocent person
46:17to take the fall, didn't you?
46:19No, that's not right.
46:20Isn't that why you seduced my client?
46:24She invited me in.
46:26You volunteered to take her home,
46:29gained access to her flat,
46:31then planted evidence, didn't you?
46:33No.
46:34No, of course I didn't.
46:36You're the one that put the nightie
46:37in the bathroom, aren't you?
46:39That's ridiculous.
46:40Well, we're hardly going to believe you now,
46:41are we, dears, Casey?
46:43I mean, how can we trust a police officer
46:45who has sex with a victim?
46:47She was not a victim.
46:50Well, you certainly thought she was at the time.
46:53Yes, I did.
46:55So how can we believe a single word
46:57that comes out from your mouth?
46:58Well, after Kelly died,
47:02Tom told me about the cabbie.
47:04Tom reckoned he was obsessed with Kelly
47:06and he asked me to make up the story
47:08about being attacked
47:09so the police would investigate the driver.
47:13You know, I only did it
47:14because Tom had been so nice to me
47:16and I thought I was helping
47:18to catch the real killer.
47:19What happened after you made
47:21these false allegations?
47:22I met D.S. Casey
47:26and he was so kind
47:29and, well, at the ID parade
47:32I was really nervous
47:34and I took his hand for reassurance
47:37and I felt him squeeze it
47:39but I just thought he was trying to comfort me.
47:42Thank you, Lucy.
47:43Nothing more, my lord.
47:48You have a sister, don't you?
47:51Yes.
47:51You told the police
47:54that she is very ill
47:55and that Tom Hartson
47:58gave you some money
47:59to pay her medical bills abroad.
48:01Yes, that's right.
48:03She's been very sick.
48:04But you told Jeremy Barton
48:06your sister had died.
48:09In fact, he paid for the funeral,
48:11didn't he?
48:12I've never heard of Jeremy Barton.
48:15James Bailey from Manchester,
48:18Greg Donoghue from Kent,
48:19Lee Marchant from London,
48:22also paid for your sister's funeral expenses,
48:25didn't they?
48:27So, your sister,
48:29is she dead or just very ill?
48:33She was ill.
48:38She died.
48:39Miss Kennard,
48:40would you please stand?
48:41I am standing.
48:43I wasn't speaking to you.
48:50Is this your dead sister?
48:52My lord,
48:53are you going to let the crown
48:54continue with these amateur dramatics?
48:56Sit down, Mr. Smart.
48:59I, for one,
48:59would like to hear the answer.
49:03This is your sister,
49:04Sasha.
49:07Well?
49:09Yes or no?
49:10Yes.
49:18You may sit down.
49:20It's quite a story,
49:21isn't it?
49:23A story you spun to four men
49:25who came forward,
49:26though I imagine there are many more,
49:28too embarrassed.
49:29A story you have told,
49:31time and time again,
49:33in order to extort money.
49:35Only Kelly Mahon found out
49:37what you were up to,
49:38didn't she?
49:40And in order to protect yourself,
49:43you killed her,
49:44didn't you?
49:47Didn't you?
49:51You must answer the question,
49:53Miss Kennard.
49:55Why are you letting him do this to me?
49:59You said you'd help.
50:02Excuse me.
50:07You said he'd help me
50:08if I slept with him.
50:10He gave me his word.
50:14Counsel,
50:15my chambers.
50:17Now.
50:20I had no idea
50:22she was going to play
50:22a stunt like that,
50:23my lord.
50:24I must recuse myself
50:25from this trial immediately.
50:27So she can do the same
50:28to the next judge?
50:29And the one after that?
50:30You want to continue?
50:32I'm not sure we have a choice.
50:33This woman has manipulated
50:36every man
50:37she had something
50:37to gain from.
50:39You cannot allow her
50:40to do the same thing
50:41to you.
50:42One more stunt
50:43from your client,
50:44Mr. Smart,
50:45and I will have to
50:46discharge the jury.
50:47Are we clear?
50:52Kristoff.
50:56The defendant's last remarks
50:58will be disregarded.
51:01Miss Kennard,
51:01I must warn you
51:02that you are under oath.
51:07Proceed, Mr. Thorne.
51:09Miss Kennard,
51:10has any officer
51:11of the court
51:11made promises to you
51:13in return for sexual favours?
51:15Yes.
51:17The judge.
51:18He said he'd make sure
51:19I didn't go to prison
51:21as long as I had sex with him.
51:22When did this happen?
51:24Earlier today.
51:25What time?
51:27I'm not sure exactly.
51:29But you were brought
51:30to the court
51:30directly from the cells
51:31at the start
51:32of today's proceedings.
51:34So was this a separate visit
51:35earlier today?
51:37Yes.
51:39So the court security staff
51:41conspired with him,
51:43did they?
51:43I wouldn't know that.
51:45And the judge's clerk.
51:46He must have been involved
51:47in all this.
51:48They all conspired
51:49so Judge Gunner
51:51could get you on his own
51:52and offer you favours
51:53in return for sex.
51:55You actually expect us
51:57to believe this?
51:59Men don't always think
52:01with their heads.
52:03So they do anything, right?
52:05Like Tom Hartson
52:07cheating on his fiancée.
52:09Yeah.
52:10Or D.S. Casey
52:11breaking his oath
52:12and sleeping with a victim.
52:14Exactly.
52:14And the other men
52:15that gave you money
52:16because men are all
52:17after one thing, right?
52:19You said it.
52:20And that makes
52:21them fair game.
52:23You all think
52:24we're pieces of meat
52:25and you leer at us
52:26on the street.
52:28You touch us up
52:29on the tube
52:30and think we like it.
52:32You think you can
52:33just pick us up
52:34and put us down
52:34when it suits you.
52:35Cheat on us.
52:36Cheat us like shit.
52:37Oh, I just turned
52:39the tables.
52:39I took control.
52:40Made men pay.
52:42I made you all pay.
52:43I mean,
52:49you should be thanking me.
52:50Only you made
52:51Kelly Marne pay too,
52:53didn't you?
52:54You made her pay
52:54with her life
52:55by stabbing her
52:57repeatedly in the chest.
52:58Not once,
52:59not twice,
53:00but three,
53:01four,
53:02five,
53:03six times.
53:04Then you left her
53:06bleeding,
53:08dying
53:08in her flat
53:09a month
53:11from her wedding.
53:11so much
53:15for sisterhood.
53:22On the charge
53:23of murder,
53:25do you find
53:25the defendant
53:26guilty
53:26or not guilty?
53:28Guilty.
53:31You have been
53:32found guilty
53:32of murder
53:33and there's only
53:34one sentence
53:34I may pass
53:35and that is
53:36life imprisonment.
53:38I'm setting
53:38a minimum tariff
53:39of 15 years.
53:41Take her down.
53:41You know,
54:09women like her
54:09to try it on
54:10because I think
54:11we're stupid.
54:13Another one
54:14of those,
54:14love,
54:15please.
54:15Another one
54:15of those issues
54:16if I may.
54:16No problem.
54:20Problem is
54:21they're right.
54:23just in.
54:38DV case.
54:39Wife
54:40reported
54:40her husband
54:40for violence
54:41against her
54:42and the kids
54:42seven times.
54:44Even had an injunction
54:45to stop him
54:45coming near the house.
54:46Which I take it
54:47he ignored?
54:48Yeah.
54:52OK.
54:54My previous
54:55police reports.
54:58You two
54:58should be
54:58in the pub
54:59with a bottle
55:00of something fizzy.
55:01And there's
55:02Diet Coke
55:02in the vending machine
55:03if you get desperate.
55:06You had
55:06a good result
55:07today.
55:09I can wait
55:09until the morning.
55:10I can't do it.
