See No Evil: The Moors Murders Page #9

- Let's just go.

I had nothing to do with Lesley Ann.

- Why should I believe you?

- Cos it's the truth.

- Let's just go!

- You're a liar!

David. Manchester Evening News.

How well did you know Brady, David?

Can you tell us?

Piss off. Piss off!

- She's pregnant.

- Can you give us anything at all?

- Here comes the third Moors Murderer!

- Shut your face!

You're the third Moors Murderer!

They're all from the same family!

- I think it's this way.

- No, it's this way.

- Where's your husband?

- Dave!

I want to speak to him.

- You are a liar! You were there!

- Where?

At the torture of my Lesley!

Get off him! Get off him!

- You knew what he were doing!

- There was nothing to know, for God's sake!

For God's sake, I'm pregnant!

If I had your blood running through my veins,

I'd slit my wrists!

They killed me as well

when they killed my Lesley!

- Come on!

- You deserve the same, both of you!

Come on, love.

Why did you have to talk to 'em?

To make 'em understand that what

Myra and Ian did had nothing to do with me.

- Why should people believe that?

- What?

Edward Evans wouldn't have died,

would he, Dave,

if you'd not let Ian draw you in.

I didn't know they'd kill him!

But he must have seen something in you,

mustn't he, eh,

- ...to make him think you could become part of it?

- Of what?

- Whatever it was, him and Myra.

- Shut up!

- It's you that's brought this on us, Dave.

- No, it's you, you Hindley b*tch!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Maureen.

Will it be all right now?

Now you've done that?

Maureen, I'm so sorry!

Would you tell us what your feelings were

for Ian Brady before you moved to Hattersley?

I loved him.

I still love him.

Did you ever get wind of anything

odd happening between Ian and David?

I suppose I sometimes did wonder

what was going on.

You've sat in this court, you've heard of

several conspiracies between them.

To photograph young girls,

to rob a bank.

- I don't believe her.

- To lure a homosexual

to Wardle Brook Avenue

with the intention of robbing him,

a conspiracy which ended

in the death of Edward Evans.

Did you have any

idea of any of these plans?

I had no idea at all.

Were you in any way involved

in the death of John Kilbride?

I was not.

Were you in any way involved

in the death of Lesley Ann Downey?

I was not.

Were you in any way involved

in the death of Edward Evans?

No.

No more questions, my Lord.

You may step down, Miss Hindley.

This court is adjourned.

We will reconvene after lunch.

Verdicts have been reached

in the Moors murder

trial at Chester Assizes.

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley

have been found guilty of murder.

Ian Brady has been

convicted of the murders of

John Kilbride,

Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans.

Myra Hindley has been convicted of the murders

of Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans.

She was found not guilty of

the murder of John Kilbride,

but was found guilty of being an accessory.

The jury retired earlier today

and took just two hours 23 minutes

to reach their verdicts.

The defendants remained impassive

as they were read out

and equally impassive as the Judge,

Justice Fenton Atkinson,

sentenced the couple.

Ian Brady, these were three calculated,

cruel, cold-blooded murders.

In your case, I pass the only

sentence which the law now allows,

which is three concurrent sentences

of life imprisonment.

- Hang him!

- The bastard!

- Pervert!

- Quiet!

I hope you die!

Quiet in court! Quiet in court!

Put him down.

Take the cow with you!

Take 'em both!

Kill 'em both together!

Quiet in court!

In your case, Hindley,

you have been found guilty of

two equally horrible murders.

And in the third,

as an accessory after the fact.

On the two murders,

the sentence is two concurrent

sentences of life imprisonment.

It's been a waste of f***ing time.

If you two hadn't gone to court,

Brady would have got away with all

those murders except Edward Evans.

He'd have been out in 10 years

and Myra would have walked free.

That's supposed to make

us feel better, is it?

I can see that it's been hard.

Hard? I'm a child killer.

The third Moors Murderer.

That's what they all believe!

They won't when they've had time

to think about it.

How do you know?

He won. Brady won.

I can't stop thinking about him.

I mean, what was he doing

on the night of Edward Evans?

- What was he thinking of?

- He had a secret, Dave.

He had a monster of a secret

and what use was it to him

without someone to share it with?

- But he had Myra to share it with.

- Yeah.

And I believe he was growing tired of her.

I think she probably resisted it,

but in order to keep him,

she agreed to try and bring Dave into it.

And in the end, he failed, didn't he?

You two have got to try

and get on with your lives now.

What about Pauline Reade? Keith Bennett?

I am not allowed to search for them.

Only Manchester Police can do that.

Frankly, between you, me and the gate post,

they flatly refuse to do so.

But I never said that.

I'd best be going.

- I'll see you out.

- No, you stay there, pet.

I'm gonna wish you two the very best of luck.

All right?

Sister, which is Mrs Harris' bed?

It's that one over there, Mr Taylor.

Good morning, Mrs Harris.

- Hiya.

- Hiya.

What do you think?

Beautiful.

Family again, eh?

It's the only family I'll ever have now, Dave.

I've lost Myra,

Mam.

I can't lose this.

Yeah, I know.

I heard them come in.

I hope someone kills it

and buries it on t'bloody moors.

You filthy b*tch!

Come on!

It's not worth it. Leave it.

Safe home now anyway.

Right, girl.

Aye.

It's all right.

Maureen,

come on, he wants you.

I can't.

How can I?

Shh.

How can I ever be a mother again?

I'm a Hindley.

Shh.

Maureen.

Where have you been?

I've made a pot of tea, if you want some.

That'd be nice, love.

Nice place here.

It's small, but...

...it's much nicer than my last place.

And I'm gonna redecorate.

And you got a job?

Lewis's.

Cleaning.

That's where I saw Aunty Cath.

I just...

I didn't dare believe it

when she said you'd wanna see me.

I'm so sorry.

You've had a terrible time.

The whole estate turned against us.

We just kept hoping it'd... it'd go away.

We just kept hoping,

if we had a family and...

stuck together...

...it'd be OK.

But it wasn't.

Bricks through the window.

Poison pen letters.

God knows what else through the letter box.

People would spit at the kids.

Taunt them.

Me and Dave...

we couldn't go anywhere without trouble.

Eventually,

one night...

Dave went for someone.

Got sent to Walton.

I just couldn't cope.

I was just in a pit.

Drinking.

Hopeless.

I had the kids put into care.

God forgive me.

I just thought...

that I'd ruined their lives.

And they deserved better.

I should have been in touch.

I should have helped you.

I felt I had to choose.

Dave's out of jail now.

He's got the kids back.

The social... social worker says

they're doing OK.

Here you are, David.
