Mask of Sanity. Laurence Davey & Declan Croghan.
Nicholas Beveney is released from prison after serving term for three murders he's confessed to. Starts to hang out in deserted former home where - through flashbacks - we learn he's been seriously abused as a boy. (How come the BBC showed this one but not the other one?) He actually sees his boy-self, which is a good move. And then starts walking about like a zombie.
Boyd and the team don't believe he did it, particularly when former parties come into play: Paul Ritter, Jemma Redgrave, James Fox, Martin Marquez, Richard Dillane, Dominic Letts.
I'd had an idea watching a former episode, thinking 'Why don't the abused teenagers gang together and overpower the abuser?' Maybe Davey & Croghan did too.
I must admit I don't quite know why he confessed in the first place. Good scene where he joins Redgrave's book reading kids.
