00:00Prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.
00:30What are you doing?
00:59And the flat's down.
01:01The bed's all wet.
01:05Come on, Dad. Just change your pajamas.
01:19Mom?
01:21Leah? Leah?
01:23Leah?
01:25Leah?
01:27Leah?
01:39Please, carry on, Mr McElwine.
01:49Leah always went to bed first.
01:51She's an early riser, but I'm a night owl.
01:57So your wife was asleep when you got into bed, yeah?
02:03We ain't married.
02:13It lasted six times.
02:15And you're sure the front door was locked?
02:19No.
02:21Jodie always locks her when she comes back from work.
02:25But she works.
02:31Burger place on the High Road.
02:33You're 13.
02:35My dad didn't work for a long time.
02:37My mum's just lost her job.
02:39Someone's got to pay the rent.
02:41Jodie, did you lock the door when you got in?
02:43I don't know.
02:45My mate borrowed me this game.
02:47I couldn't wait to play it.
02:49Right, so someone could have got in while you were at work or maybe when you were playing the game, yeah?
02:53Dad's deaf in one ear.
02:55If he sleeps on his right side, he can't in nothing.
02:57How long's your dad had a drinking problem, Jodie?
03:01He don't drink.
03:03Well, that much shaking isn't down to shock, surely?
03:07My dad ain't going to win, no.
03:09He's got a mess.
03:11The only thing that helps is a smoke.
03:13Of cannabis?
03:14Yeah.
03:15I skin up enough to get him through the day before I go to school.
03:19He can't do it himself because he's shaking.
03:23Sometimes he waits for him to drink.
03:25I don't drink.
03:26I don't drink.
03:27How long's your dad had a drinking problem, Jodie?
03:29He don't drink.
03:30Well, that much shaking isn't down to shock, surely?
03:32Sometimes he waits till Mum's gone to bed.
03:35And then he has too much and...
03:38The door was locked when you got in, wasn't it, Jodie?
03:47Dad was out of it.
03:49I thought Mum was asleep.
03:51I got rid of the wee because I know what you lot would think.
03:57When the social worker gets here, Jodie will need you and your dad
04:01to come down to the station.
04:02OK?
04:03OK, Jodie.
04:04This way.
04:09Daddy's ill helper, eh?
04:10Yep.
04:11I had one just like her.
04:14I'm just like her.
04:15I'm just like her.
04:17I'm just like her.
04:19I don't know.
04:49I don't know.
05:19I swear to God, I don't remember anything.
05:31That happens a lot now.
05:34Blackouts, memory loss.
05:37I remember killing the woman I love.
05:39Well, you said yourself you'd been smoking.
05:43It's medicinal.
05:45It's illegal.
05:49Do you have any idea what MS does to you?
05:54Some days I can't even feed myself.
05:58It's the only thing that helps.
06:00And what does your girlfriend make of your drug use?
06:06She's anti-drugs.
06:09So was I till I got this disease.
06:13And did you argue about that?
06:14Well, sometimes, most of the time, I'd only smoke when she was at work.
06:23But she'd just lost her job.
06:25That must have been hard.
06:27You know, you under each other's feet all day long.
06:29You needing a spliff and Leah having a go.
06:31And you couldn't work at all, Johnny?
06:39I'm on invalidity benefit.
06:42While your 13-year-old kid brings home the bacon.
06:47Jolie doesn't mind.
06:48Yeah, I'm sure she loves skipping school to flit burgers.
06:54I might not be able to look after my family like other dads.
06:59But I didn't kill Leah.
07:04She was my rock.
07:12The door was locked when Jodie got home.
07:15I mean, I know he doesn't seem the type, Ron,
07:17but there is no other explanation.
07:18And no gum.
07:19He searched that flat from top to bottom.
07:22Well, maybe Daddy's little helper moved it.
07:24Matt, the man could hardly hold a cup of water.
07:27Never mind shoot someone.
07:28Well, someone shot her.
07:31Listen, Jodie was the only one earning in that household,
07:34but they could afford life assurance on Leah Brown.
07:38Never missed a payment.
07:40His policy's dated a month ago.
07:43Because that's when Johnny upped it from 15 grand to 50.
07:47I mean, that doesn't look good.
07:49Upping Leah's life insurance a month before she gets shot.
07:53A month ago, Leah had just lost her job.
07:55If she wasn't the breadwinner anymore and Johnny was dying,
07:59maybe he wanted to secure Jodie's future.
08:02Yeah, well, maybe he had one spliff too many
08:03and hashed himself a plan to live out his last days in luxury.
08:07Yeah, and then he shot her with his invisible gun.
08:10Oh, come on, boys.
08:12None of this is making any sense.
08:14Oh, let's call ballistics.
08:19That bullet's got to tell us something.
08:20A bullet the pathologist pulled out of Leah Brown's heart's a nine millimetre.
08:28And what type of gun fired at?
08:30Not a gun.
08:31Start-up pistol.
08:32Let me guess.
08:33Olympic BBM.
08:35You've read the latest news there, sir?
08:37From cover to cover.
08:38I wrote the article on converted firearms.
08:40No.
08:41Really?
08:48And for those of us who missed the meeting?
08:50Sorry, yes.
08:52Costs around 80 quid to ban the internet.
08:54Very popular with London gangs at the moment.
08:57So, home conversion, yeah?
08:59Yeah, basically, V&Q Talker would do it.
09:01They come in fluorescent orange.
09:03Great.
09:04There's some gangster waving a day-glow gun around.
09:07Well, most of the ones tried and retrieved her, sanded down and re-sprayed black.
09:11Then they go for a monkey.
09:13And what's the range?
09:14That's the weird bit.
09:16The bullet was fired from at least 100 metres.
09:19Sorry, 100 metres?
09:23That's not possible.
09:25Look, what does it matter if he sleeps from the windows open or closed?
09:29You've got the scumbag that shot her.
09:30If it didn't matter, we wouldn't be asking.
09:33Yeah, it was closed.
09:34Right, well, the kid reckoned that the mum and dad had a running battle over it.
09:39And the mum liked it open.
09:41So that might she lost.
09:44Well, Socko found a whole load of unknown prints on that window.
09:48The results should be through about now.
09:54Look, I've had this cold three weeks.
09:57The room was like a freezer.
09:59So you closed the window.
10:01Look, I'm getting married on Saturday.
10:04My fiancée will have my guts if I look like bloody Rudolph in the photos.
10:15Took the angle of trajectory, factored in velocity, drop rate.
10:19Cut to the good stuff, love.
10:21Don't mind him.
10:22He missed lunch.
10:23Oh, here.
10:26Not me.
10:28Oh, tar.
10:29He only eats the blue ones.
10:31Makes me pick them out.
10:33And the green ones.
10:34Goes towards my five a day, right?
10:36Do you want to know where your shooter was?
10:38Yes.
10:38Up there.
10:43Found this shell casing.
10:45Just right at the line of fun at the McIlwain's gaff.
10:48Your shooter was standing right here when he fired the gun.
10:58Went all the way across the estate.
11:01Well, somebody in the flats must have seen or heard something.
11:04Well, this floor and all the floors above it are derelict, so I don't count on it.
11:09And?
11:11There's this blood.
11:13How fresh.
11:15Spilt on the last 24.
11:17Hmm.
11:17Could it be our shooters?
11:18Yeah, or some no-mark smackheads.
11:21Supposedly crackheads come up here, actually.
11:24They buy from the trap house on the 10th floor and then they come up here to use.
11:29I grew up here, didn't I?
11:30I think the drug dealer's disabled the old buzzer system, then, eh?
11:38Keeps the traffic flying.
11:41So anyone could get up here?
11:42Yeah, anyone could, but who'd want to?
11:46Just junkies and skets.
11:48They pick up Johns down by the underpass.
11:50So you're putting a foot pump on the ground right of him as it is?
11:53Or you could go somewhere warm and cosy.
11:58Like the station.
11:59Look, all I saw on the landing last night was a couple of kids.
12:0412, 13 tops.
12:08One of them was for business.
12:10What a little cocky, little wanky he was.
12:12Can you describe them?
12:14We've got a lovely cell, bench, open toilet, the works.
12:26You can even stay the night.
12:31Nick's race.
12:34The little one had, like, cane rolls.
12:36And the bigger one.
12:43What, you know him?
12:45He might be a witness, that's all.
12:48It's Shannon's kid.
12:50Shannon?
12:51No, I don't know her last name.
12:54She lives in Nightingale.
12:55She used to work around here with the rest of us and she stopped working a couple of months back.
13:01Look, and she must have won the lottery cos she still managed to score every night.
13:12Whatever it is, I didn't see nothing, didn't hear nothing.
13:14Actually, it's your boy, Caden, who you want to talk to.
13:18Well, he's out.
13:20With his mates, so you have to come back later, yeah?
13:35Did you hear me invite you in?
13:38It's all right, love.
13:39We ain't vampires.
13:45Does Caden have a mobile?
13:48You asked a phone to your mum when you were 13, did you?
13:51When he was 13, the pips were still going before you put the money in.
13:56Look, I've got a piece of money, yeah?
13:58I'm sure the crack houses don't shut for a few hours yet.
14:03That Caden, is it?
14:05What do you think?
14:08Where does he go when he's, uh, with his mates?
14:11No idea.
14:12Well, I'll be late.
14:14But it ain't the scouts, is it?
14:18He'll be hours yet, yeah?
14:21We're not in a rush.
14:29What comes after us in the alphabet, Maddy?
14:31Tea?
14:33That'd be nice.
14:35Got any pickies?
14:35Number nine, he hangs out there sometimes.
14:52The two of themians.
14:53Oh, my goodness.
14:57Never do.
14:57Yeah.
14:58Oh, my goodness.
14:59I'midays.
15:00Yeah.
15:16See?
15:17Yeah.
15:18I don't know.
15:48I don't know.
16:18I don't know.
16:20I don't know.
16:22I don't know.
16:24I don't know.
16:26I don't know.
16:28I don't know.
16:30I don't know.
16:32I don't know.
16:34I don't know.
16:35I don't know.
16:36I don't know.
16:37I don't know.
16:38I don't know.
16:39I don't know.
16:40I don't know.
16:41I don't know.
16:42I don't know.
16:43I don't know.
16:44I thought you were someone else, innit?
16:46Is someone after your son?
16:48No.
16:49What were you doing in a crack house?
16:51You and a friend were playing on the landing of the 12th floor of the same block on Tuesday
17:01night, round about 11?
17:03Playing?
17:04Hmm?
17:05Not me.
17:06Someone saw you.
17:07Look, Caden, we just want to know what you saw when you were up there, alright?
17:11He's told you we weren't there.
17:13Well, maybe you weren't supposed to be out, Caden.
17:16Yeah?
17:17You're not in any trouble?
17:21I wasn't there.
17:22So where were you?
17:24Chicken shop.
17:26My boy Chase.
17:27Chase who?
17:28Chase Wade.
17:30Look, Caden, if you're lying because you're scared...
17:34Scared?
17:35I'm kind of scared to you.
17:40Okay, mate.
17:41Calm down.
17:42Touch me again.
17:43You're marked.
17:44You get me?
17:45He's told you where he was.
17:46End of.
17:47Come on, Caden.
17:48We haven't finished here, actually.
17:50Yeah, we are.
17:52Ain't got nothing to me with.
17:55No, you are right.
17:57You're free to...
17:58Don't treat me like some pussy.
18:01To go.
18:05That's no witness, Ron.
18:07That's our shooter.
18:15No.
18:16No.
18:17No.
18:18No.
18:19No.
18:20No.
18:21No.
18:22Gov, look.
18:23We've got nothing to hold him on.
18:24You think this kid shot Leah Brown?
18:26We have a witness put Caden Blake on that landing in that tower block the night Leah Brown was shot.
18:33Maybe Caden saw someone waving a gun about and got scared enough to keep his mouth shut.
18:37No, this kid's not scared of anything.
18:39Oh, come on, boys.
18:40Let's get real here.
18:41This isn't some kitchen knife he's nicked out of a drawer.
18:44We're talking a 500 pound firearm.
18:47Or 80 if he did the conversion himself.
18:50Our witness also says she saw Caden with another boy and has given us a description.
18:56Yeah, and Caden said he was hanging out with his mate Chase Wade at the chicken shop.
19:00Find out how many pieces he's got in his bargain bucket.
19:11Since when did people start calling their kids Jane and John and start calling them Chase and Bonquisha?
19:18Oh, since this country got obsessed by celebrity.
19:21Little Bonquisha's parents wanted to be a pop star.
19:24With a name like Bonquisha, she is hot to chop, baby.
19:27Yeah.
19:28Well, anything?
19:29Yep, 12 pieces and chips on the house.
19:32Fantastic.
19:33You do know that's meant for a family of five, don't you?
19:36Well, if you wanted some, Matt, you only had to ask.
19:39I like my arteries with blood flowing through them, thank you very much.
19:42Fair enough.
19:43So, little Bonquisha in there was working the night Leah Brown got shot and every night since.
19:50And she ain't seen Caden or Chase all week.
19:56Time.
19:57Is Chase in trouble?
19:58We need to know where he was on Tuesday night.
20:07I'm supposed to be helping out here on the project.
20:08Only he's skived off.
20:10Well, Caden Blake claims that he was with Chase from around seven until midnight.
20:19What's Caden done now?
20:20Well, we think he may have been involved in a shooting.
20:24If Chase was with him, I would swim through.
20:27What time did you get in on Tuesday?
20:3010-ish.
20:31Chase didn't get in till half 12.
20:33I grounded him for two weeks.
20:34I'm sure he could have been with Caden.
20:36Chase had a cut on his head.
20:43He wouldn't talk about it.
20:45I had a guy look at him about fighting.
20:47Chase had been doing well at school.
20:49We saw us hanging around with Caden, suddenly we're getting letters home.
20:52Staying out half the night.
20:54Well, did he ever come up with an explanation why he was so late on Tuesday night?
20:58Look, I told you.
21:00We were just chatting to some girls at the chicken shop.
21:03Well, not according to the owner.
21:05She reckons she hadn't seen you or Caden for over a week.
21:10Now, how'd she get the cut on the side of your head?
21:14Walked into a door.
21:16You know about DNA, right?
21:19Yes, you know. I'm Dexter.
21:21Well, the sample we took from you when you first came into the station was for DNA.
21:27And we're going to see whether it matches the blood we found in the landing in the tower block.
21:32Any minute now, an officer is going to knock on that door and bring me the results of that test.
21:38You want to tell us the truth, Chase.
21:40Because if you keep lying to us, we won't be able to help you.
21:43Chase, I didn't bring up a liar.
21:49It's not a game, Chase.
21:51Leah Brown was shot dead in her bed.
21:54She asked Chance, son.
21:56We either hear it from you or we charge you and Caden with murder on joint enterprise.
22:02I'm not going to let you throw your whole life away for Caden, Blake.
22:12Do you?
22:14Do you hear me?
22:30Caden had the gun.
22:32He put it against my head.
22:39And why would he do that?
22:44Because Murky told him to you.
22:48Murky?
22:49Mark Ellis.
22:51Everyone on the estate knows who he is and what he does.
22:55I didn't want to be in his gang no more.
22:58You're in his gang.
23:00Does this gang have a name?
23:02TKC.
23:08But I never hurt no one.
23:10All I did was move the food.
23:15OK.
23:17Go on.
23:18He got us to collect packages and run them out to the shutters.
23:23So how many other kids were working for this Murky bloke?
23:27I don't know.
23:28Maybe nine, ten of us.
23:30So I'm there trying to keep you lot off drugs and he's putting it right into your hands.
23:35How long were you doing this?
23:37Couple of weeks.
23:39But I knew it was wrong, Mum.
23:41I told Caden I was out.
23:43But Ellis told him to fix it.
23:46And how was Caden supposed to fix it?
23:52With the gun.
23:58He shot once, but he missed.
24:03He wasn't meant to kill that girl's mum.
24:06It was me he's supposed to kill.
24:11Then he pointed the gun right here.
24:16He pulled the trigger.
24:20Only the gun got stopped.
24:28The fool was dead.
24:32Murky, real name Mark Ellis.
24:34He's been investigated over the last four years for converting and selling firearms and for two gang related shootings.
24:41But he's never actually been charged.
24:44He's lucky.
24:45Yeah.
24:46Well, let's hope his luck is about to run out.
24:50I'll have that.
24:51He's sweet enough.
24:52Mark Ellis, by the way, has been running his own little drugs empire for the TKC.
24:57And he's using younger and younger kids to move the drugs around the estate because we can't charge them.
25:05And they're easier to intimidate, less likely to talk.
25:08Kids or not, Henry Sharp takes a hard line on gun crime.
25:11Right.
25:12But this shooting's accidental.
25:13I mean, it's not murder.
25:14Leah Brown's death was accidental, but Caden intended to kill his friend.
25:18We've got Chase's statement and the witness.
25:34It's enough to arrest Caden on suspicion of the manslaughter of Leah Brown and the attempted murder of Chase Wade.
25:41What about Mark Ellis?
25:43Well, he didn't fire the gun.
25:46He put it in his hand.
25:48I mean, Chase told us that Ellis ordered Caden to kill him.
25:51Hearsay from a 12-year-old isn't enough, Matt.
25:54Until you get me something on Ellis I can use, we charge Caden.
26:04This is an harassment, Matt. I've had to fire a bow outside my gaff all day.
26:08We're looking for Caden.
26:09Is he with Mark Ellis?
26:10I'm just his mum. What do I know?
26:16You see, now, pigs and rozzers, I can handle.
26:18But all this feds and 5-0 malarkey...
26:22I blame, what's his face? P-Daddy.
26:25It's P-Diddy.
26:26I knew that.
26:29Pardon me, when I was a kid, if your parents weren't perfect,
26:32there was always an auntie or your grandma to look out for you.
26:35But she's all that kid's got. She doesn't give a toss about him.
26:41Matt, she's an addict.
26:43Her choice.
26:44Yes, and the choice to stop using is the hardest one of all.
26:48So, we need to pick up Caden, right?
26:51And we need to find Mark Ellis.
26:54We've got to see where he's set up his new shop.
26:56And I'm guessing we're in the right neighbourhood.
27:01So, sooner or later, Caden's gonna clock in.
27:04We catch Ellis in possession.
27:06And we get them both, yeah?
27:08You're sure Caden's in there?
27:15Surveillance hasn't mentioned the flight around lunchtime.
27:18He hasn't left.
27:20Once you're in, the priority is Caden,
27:23and then Mark Ellis in that order.
27:25CO-19 are on standby.
27:27First sign there's any guns in there, I want you lot out.
27:31You ready, Jenny?
27:34Yeah, yeah.
28:01I want you.
28:02Mm-hmm.
28:03Where is it?
28:04Yeah, who is it?
28:06All right, mate!
28:08Murphy, you reckon she just sort me out!
28:23I'm looking for Roxanne!
28:26Police!
28:31Come where you are!
28:33Police!
28:45Take him now!
28:47Leave, man!
28:49Police!
28:52Move!
28:53Move!
28:54Mark Ellis, I'm arresting your own position of class A drugs with intent to supply.
28:59You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defense.
29:01If you do not mention my question, something that you've learned in court,
29:05and I'll see...
29:07Where's Cady?
29:08I am an unknown key, Dan.
29:11Listen to me. What is the point?
29:13What have you done with him?
29:14You know, step in on my face again, see if I go get murky, little bitch, yeah?
29:21Just stand up.
29:24I'm happy that's enough, son. That's enough.
29:28Johnny, take him down.
29:30Right.
29:31Now try and take him on you now, all right?
29:34All right, all right.
29:35All clear on the top, bro.
29:37No son of a lad.
29:39Keep looking, lads.
29:42Caden?
29:50Caden?
29:52I need it, Jimmy!
29:54I'm in the kitchen, now!
30:09Oh, my God.
30:11It's okay.
30:13It's okay, yeah.
30:17Shit.
30:17My client had 1,000 pounds exactly in his possession.
30:38You know as well as I do, he's got no legal requirement to explain how he came by it.
30:43Convenient.
30:43That he has the maximum allowed amount as the three other members of his gang.
30:48You really have no grounds to hold, Mr. Ellis.
30:51Well, there is a matter of how Caden Blake was found.
30:54You know that boy?
30:55He follow me around.
30:57See how I'm like I'm big brother, you know?
30:59God knows, a kid like that could do with a mentor.
31:03A mentor who chains him up and locks him in a cupboard and then uses him to intimidate his employees.
31:09Mr. Ellis has no employees.
31:12He is, in fact, unemployed and currently claiming Job Seeker's Allowance.
31:17Well, I bet the benefit office would love to know about his little empire dealing crack then.
31:21You know, I think you have Iron Man confused with someone else, you know?
31:28Right.
31:30Well, then maybe you wouldn't mind explaining to me what you were doing in the dealing room of a known crack house.
31:38You know what?
31:40Iron Man was after a bit of personal.
31:43I hold my hands up, see?
31:45You were collecting your cash.
31:47As my client hadn't made any purchase, proved by the fact no drugs were found on his person,
31:54you can't link him to any illegal activity occurring in that flat.
32:00No.
32:03Caden can.
32:05Caden.
32:07I'm not going to say nothing.
32:09Understand?
32:09Are you sure you don't want a solicitor, Caden?
32:17You don't need one.
32:20Caden?
32:23Chase has told us what happened that night on the tower block, Caden.
32:28He has also told us that you work for Mark Ellis and Ellis has given you orders to kill Chase.
32:35We have an eyewitness puts the purview on that landing five minutes before the shooting and we have Chase's statement.
32:44We have just about everything we need to charge you with the attempted murder of Chase Wade and the manslaughter of Leah Brown.
32:54But if you're under orders from Ellis, that changes everything.
32:59What do you mean, it changes everything?
33:03Caden could get a reduced sentence if he gives evidence against Ellis.
33:09You understand, Caden?
33:11Yeah, got nothing to say, innit?
33:13But, Mum, just keep it short, Caden.
33:16Look, that Chase kid is lying.
33:19Caden don't work for Ellis.
33:20They just...
33:21They just found that gunny in the park.
33:23They're just messing around, playing.
33:25You know what kids are like, innit?
33:26Yeah.
33:26Ain't that right, Caden?
33:40Yeah.
33:42It was a game.
33:45No one made me do nothing.
33:49As long as Caden claims he acted of his own free will, I doubt we'll convince the jury otherwise.
33:53So we just send Ellis home.
33:56He'll set up shop somewhere new within the hour.
33:58We've got no choice, Matt.
33:59There's nothing we can charge him with.
34:01You've got to make Caden talk.
34:03Well, Matt, I've been round the houses with that boy.
34:06There's no way he's going to say a word against Ellis.
34:07Let me try.
34:08I was in there, Matt.
34:09It's not going to happen.
34:10So what do we do then, yeah?
34:11Just give up.
34:12Job done.
34:13Come on, Matt.
34:14It's okay to get angry about child labour if it's happening on the other side of the world.
34:18But no one gives a shit that it's happening right here and now.
34:21Thanks to a scum like Ellis.
34:23Of course we care.
34:24But if we can't prove that Ellis is running the show...
34:26They should be playing football, eating sweets, not waving guns around, selling crack.
34:31My lord, the Crown requests the defendant be remanded to secure local authority care.
34:48We have no objection, my lord.
34:51Then your wish is my command, Miss Phillips.
34:58Caden does realise they have locks on the jaws where he's going.
35:01They don't have Shannon Blake, so sold it to me.
35:04Me too.
35:05Looks like we're on the same page.
35:07Don't count on it, sister.
35:09Application to exclude my client's interview.
35:12He was denied legal representation.
35:17Caden Blake and his mother waived his right to legal representation.
35:21The defendant offered up his confession freely.
35:24The defendant is 13 years old.
35:28His mother was high on crack.
35:30Neither of them were competent to waive legal representation.
35:34The police get waivers from drunk drivers every day of the week.
35:37Miss Blake wasn't waiving her own right.
35:39She was waiving her son's.
35:41Miss Phillips should have disregarded that waiver and stopped the interview.
35:45My lord, Mrs. Blake appeared at Compos Mentors.
35:48What are we supposed to do?
35:50We've had a drug test?
35:51The Crown has a solid case against your client, Ms. True.
35:58It appears you are just looking for a way to muddy the waters.
36:03Application is refused.
36:06The interview stays in.
36:08However, I would feel happier knowing the boy has had a full psychiatric evaluation prior to standing trial.
36:20One of the elders in the TKC got shot on the estate.
36:30I stood this close to him.
36:35There was so much blood, man.
36:36What did your mum say when you told her what you saw?
36:45Nothing.
36:49Did you get on with your mum?
36:55How do you feel about her using drugs?
36:58Ain't her fault.
36:59Whose fault is it?
37:04If I wasn't around, she'd be okay.
37:09Did she tell you that?
37:10Just get off my case, yeah?
37:12Caden lives in a world where young men have severely limited options and no basis for hope.
37:19They don't all turn out to be killers.
37:21Course not.
37:22Some are lucky enough to have parents or teachers who provide an alternative view of the world.
37:28Caden has Shannon Blake.
37:31His relationship with his mother is emotionally abusive.
37:36He told you that?
37:38He didn't have to.
37:39She told her own child he's responsible for her drug habits.
37:48That kid didn't stand a chance with a mum like that.
37:51He killed an innocent woman, Jake.
37:54Don't go soft on me now.
37:56I'm not.
37:58I just see where he's coming from.
38:02Your mum going on about the lack of grandchildren, is she?
38:07Bouncing me on her leave is much trouble.
38:13Persuade the kid to give evidence against the dealer.
38:15In return, we drop the attempted murder charge.
38:18We tried to convince him to talk.
38:25He isn't interested.
38:26Because Ellis had him too scared to open his mouth.
38:29And his mum isn't exactly helping.
38:31Are you certain Caden was acting on Ellis' orders when he pulled the trigger?
38:34100%.
38:35Have we convinced Caden that we have a case against Ellis with or without him?
38:39Maybe he'll be more willing to speak out.
38:41Well, we can't even prove Caden was working for Ellis in the first place.
38:44I mean, that bloke's got more lives than my cat.
38:47Have you got a cat?
38:48Yeah.
38:50Lucky Luciano, 17.
38:52Never heard a scratch on him.
38:55What about Chase Wade?
38:57Maybe he went as something we could use.
38:59Caden made me way outside.
39:05He'd go in, get a package, and then tell me where to deliver.
39:10How did you get paid?
39:12Caden gave me the money.
39:14So, for all you know, you could have been working for Caden.
39:18But I wasn't.
39:19I was working for Ellis.
39:21Chase is a good kid.
39:23Ellis still managed to get him involved in his gang.
39:25If you don't stop him, what chance have these kids got?
39:27Chase.
39:29Did you ever see Ellis hurt Caden?
39:40I saw the bruises.
39:42One time, Caden was collecting the packages from the shotters.
39:47And he took some cash.
39:48Ellis went mental.
39:50Locked him down for a week.
39:52Beaten bad.
39:54I wonder Caden's covering for Ellis.
39:56He must be terrified.
39:57Not for himself.
40:00Reckoned that he didn't do exactly what Ellis wanted.
40:04His mum was dead.
40:06Caden's devoted to that woman.
40:09Not that she deserves it.
40:10A couple of months back, before I knew it was trouble, Chase brought him home.
40:15Kid hadn't eaten in days.
40:17Are you saying his mum wasn't feeding him?
40:20With what?
40:21She spent all their benefit on crack.
40:23I heard she owed a load of money to her dealer, too.
40:26Mark Ellis?
40:26I wanted Caden to stay with us, but he said Ellis would get angry.
40:33And he don't want nobody messing with him.
40:36What do you mean?
40:38One time I found him on the stairwell.
40:42He wasn't breathing.
40:43I called the ambulance.
40:49Ellis went mental.
40:51What?
40:52He was angry with you.
40:57He said I should have called him instead.
41:01And then he wanted to know what hospital Caden was at.
41:04He was in cardiac shock.
41:13OD don't crack cocaine.
41:15The boy was covered in cuts and bruises.
41:17Did he say how he got them?
41:19It was a fight to get a name out of him.
41:21He wouldn't tell us where he lived or who to call.
41:24Right, but you called social services.
41:27Of course.
41:27As soon as we got him stable.
41:29Then why did you release him?
41:31We didn't.
41:31The uncle showed up all concerned.
41:35When I took the social worker up to talk to them, the bed was empty.
41:39They left?
41:41Disappeared into thin air.
41:42Right, but what did this uncle look like?
41:465'10".
41:48Cane rose.
41:49Gold tooth with the letter M on it.
41:55You can't just wander into A&E, grab a 13-year-old child from his bed.
42:00You know, without facing charges for kidnap.
42:13The boy went with him of his own free will.
42:16No one forced him.
42:17We're talking about a 13-year-old child.
42:20Mr. Ellis had no legal authority to take the boy anywhere, willing or not.
42:24We're a chap, boy.
42:27Of course I do.
42:29I'm his legal guardian, see ya?
42:31Shannon Blake is Caden's legal guardian.
42:34Mr. Ellis had Shannon Blake's permission.
42:38You don't believe me?
42:40One ask her.
42:43Look, ask Mark Ellis to keep an eye on Caden.
42:46It's no big deal.
42:47Mark Ellis is a drug dealer.
42:49He ain't all bad.
42:50At least he's teaching him a trade.
42:51It's more than a school does.
42:52Stealing drugs is not a trade.
42:56It is the kids around here.
42:58It's the only way they're going to get the sort of life they see on MTV, isn't it?
43:01Yeah.
43:02If they're given no education or self-worth, absolutely.
43:04You think it's easy living here?
43:06No, but it doesn't mean you give up.
43:09You get up off your arse.
43:11You make sure your kids grow up knowing right from wrong.
43:14Spend their days in school, not hanging around drug dens.
43:18Yeah, well, Caden's dad ain't about, so someone's got to look out for him.
43:25That's your job, Shannon.
43:27Look at me.
43:29I can't even make a cup of tea until I'm out of here.
43:33So who do you think he's better off with?
43:38I cannot go now.
43:40Do you know what I think?
43:57I think she sold her own son to pay off her drug debt.
44:02Crackhead logic.
44:05If junkies like Shannon Blake want to kill themselves, let them.
44:09Hand them drugs on prescription, then dealers like Ellis are out of a job.
44:14The Daily Mail better hold his front page.
44:16CPS prosecutor wants crack on prescription.
44:19Well, we're not winning this war.
44:22Kids like Caden outrunning drugs, innocent people shot in their beds,
44:25and we can't even get Ellis banged up for kidnapping a child.
44:28Well, before we lobby government to legalise drugs,
44:34let's try a different strategy.
44:36I'm not sure we've got many options left.
44:39Ellis is still on the street because he's good at what he does.
44:42He never handles the drugs.
44:44He makes sure the kids he uses are too terrified to speak out.
44:48Caden's never going to admit that he was working for Ellis.
44:51Everyone has an Achilles heel, Jake, even little boy gangsters.
44:56I bet this kid doesn't know what his mum did.
45:02Maybe he should.
45:03Are you joking me?
45:10It'll prove to the jury that Caden had no choice,
45:14that he had to follow Ellis' orders.
45:16I didn't give my kid to Ellis.
45:18What sort of mother do you think I am?
45:20I know exactly where you are.
45:22You can blame it on his absent father,
45:25or the drugs, or the school, or your hood,
45:27but it all amounts up to the same thing.
45:29You've failed that boy on every level,
45:31and you have one chance,
45:33one chance to make things right.
45:37You give evidence against Ellis,
45:39and Caden could be home in two years.
45:42What do I get, eh?
45:45Bullet in the head?
45:46We'll get you into witness protection.
45:49And you start somewhere else,
45:51and when Caden comes out, you can be a family again.
45:54Caden took that gun up there.
45:58He pulled the trigger.
46:01And he killed that woman.
46:05So you send him what you want.
46:09I don't give a toss.
46:16Okay, you win, Miss Phillips.
46:19Manslaughter.
46:21Section 73 agreement.
46:24I'll get it drawn up.
46:30Bam, true story.
46:32Swallowed my youth there.
46:34No!
46:38Why they made you walk around there, you hear me?
46:41We ain't staying that long.
46:43Mark Ellis, I'm arresting you
46:45on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
46:48You do not have to say anything.
46:50This go court.
46:51I make that little white ghost, you hear me?
46:53But it may harm me, defense, if you do not mention.
46:58When questioned, something which you later rely on in court.
47:00Anything you do say may be given an evidence.
47:04Pay a gun, man.
47:05I want you.
47:06I want you.
47:07I want you.
47:08Chase wanted to leave the crew.
47:14Ellis said no one leaves the TKC alive.
47:21He gave me a gun.
47:25Told me to take Chase someplace quiet.
47:30And lick him down.
47:32You mean kill him?
47:35He said, put the gun here.
47:36And shoot.
47:37And shoot.
47:38And you followed his instructions?
47:40And you followed his instructions?
47:43I tried.
47:44But I couldn't do it.
47:45Chase was my mate, innit?
47:46First time, I missed on purpose.
47:47Second time, the gun jumped.
47:50If it hadn't, would you have killed him?
47:54I didn't want to.
48:06I was scared.
48:09You could have gone to your mother.
48:11Or the police.
48:12Right, Fitz is going to help me.
48:14You could have run away.
48:16You people got no clue, innit?
48:18Make us understand.
48:24Caden, you need to tell the court why you didn't just run away.
48:30My mum owed Ellis money for drugs.
48:34She gave me to him to pay off a debt.
48:37Told him he could do what he wanted with me.
48:45What did she mean?
48:46Said I could work for him.
48:50She knew he was a drug dealer.
48:53Yeah.
48:56She knew.
49:00It was okay at first.
49:03I just had to run packages around the estate.
49:06Keep the other kids in line.
49:09At night, I slept in one of the crack houses.
49:13How long did you live like this?
49:18I don't know.
49:20Weeks.
49:23How long were you supposed to stay with the defendant?
49:29As long as your mum needed drugs.
49:33And if you went against Ellis?
49:36He said he'd put a bullet in my mum's head.
49:40No more questions.
49:52Members of the jury, on the charge of conspiracy to murder, have you reached a verdict upon which you are all agreed?
50:11Yes.
50:12Do you find the defendant, Mark Ellis, guilty or not guilty?
50:21Guilty.
50:22No more, don't you?
50:41No more.
50:42Columab council?
50:42No more.
50:43Matt?
50:44Max.
50:50She had a baby boy, nine pounds exactly.
50:54No way.
50:54Yes.
50:56Congratulations, Grandad.
50:59Thanks.
51:00So, what time's visiting?
51:01Um, oh, I'll go tomorrow.
51:04Don't worry about that.
51:05Let's get Caden down to camp first.
51:07What, and miss your grandson's first day on this planet?
51:09Shut up.
51:10I'll drop you off on route, pick you up on the way back.
51:12You can show me the photos over a Chinese.
51:15All right, I'll buy it.
51:17Okay.
51:18All right, call Sarah.
51:20Tell her you're on your way.
51:21I will.
51:22Thanks, mate.
51:23Great news.
51:36What you did in there took balls, yeah?
51:43Is my mum here?
51:44Did she come?
51:49I'm sorry.
51:52Look, Caden, you got a chance to change your life in there, with or without your mum.
51:59It's not like jail.
52:01I bet you get your own Xbox.
52:02I bet you get your own Xbox.
52:09Get down!
52:10Get back!
52:22Matt!
52:23Matt!
52:24Get down!
