Here he is. Here we go.

Yeah, yeah.

Come on, come on.

Charlie, one, two, three.

One, two, three.

When's the earliest they say Marlon will
be well enough to attend an ID parade?

I mean, for God's sake, all we need to
do is sit in a wheelchair and take a

at nine guys, not take them out in the
bike sheds.

Walk.

Look, Len, I can't talk at the moment.

Yeah.

Yeah, I realise that.

Len, God knows if I could wave a magic
wand, I would.

How much is that, darling?

We're taking care of it. You are?

Your friend at the bar.

He says you want to party.

So let's party.

As Mr.

Morton has now gone some distance out of
his way to prove that he is

surveillance conscious, he's expecting
no doubt that we will be getting off his

back. But for that reason, we will not
be getting off his back, and

will be maintained.

I also have to tell you the news from
the hospital concerning our witness is

good, and we are not looking at an
identity parade in any way soon.

She pulls through at all.

What? OK, come on, it's not all doom and
gloom.

Forensics have identified fibres from
the sweater found at Damon Morton's

on the bodies of both Harrow and Lennox.

and on the clothing worn by Marilyn
Spark the night she was attacked.

That doesn't help if Jimmy Garrett
claims the sweater's his.

Yeah, but Jimmy Garrett will admit to
just about anything to keep Morton and

Claire away. Exactly. Look!

One, two, three!

We are dealing with a monster.

So if we're looking at losing our ID, I
want two things.

One, any other evidence linking Morton
with Marilyn Spark, and two, any piece

evidence, Other than the bloody sweater
linking him with victims Susie Harrow

and Carol Lennox. Well, we can link his
van with the attack.

Dr Smith has managed to recover traces
of blood. But not Damon Morton's blood.

All we have in the bastard is Marilyn's
description of him. So I want every foot

of ground we've already covered gone
back over and over and over again.

Problem? No, no, Garth.

Any problems?

No, no, Garth.

Oh, come on, girls. I'm really not
interested in what you're doing.

It's about Marilyn Spark.

Prosecutor's attack back in April, yeah?

Have you seen a man of about 5 '10",
long, melty hair, driving a van like

before? The one that did it, then?

I don't know.

Ring any bells?

A frog.

Okay.

Thank you.

Suzy, I was back.

Similar type. I thought we got lucky,
but the mum said it wasn't her.

Betty, how's the mother?

I don't know.

I know old man Berlini's not doing very
well, though.

What?

Oh, no, he's OK. He's had a slight
stroke.

Anything come in in the house to house?

Bloody hell.

Oh, we can still nothing.

OK, thanks very much.

Thank you. Bye -bye.

That was the hospital girl.

Marilyn's doing better.

She's up for an ID parade.

And she was also able to talk a bit.
Thank God something's happening. Please

inform Miss Maddox we've had the
pleasure of a client's company at an ID

How's Lynn?

How the hell should I know?

Your clothier picked that up.

Yeah, I know.

He was renting a bedsit.

I'll tell you that. I didn't have to.

He's on the phone this morning when I
come in.

You, um...

Have you still seen that fat rugby
player? Yes, I am, actually, and he's

fat. He's exceptionally fit.

Oh. Well, you, er... You're going for
the athletic type, aren't you?

Yeah, I'll push to find one around this
station.

Don't panic. She's got way too much make
-up on. She's covered her head cos her

roots are showing. She's also very
nervous.

Are you sure she's going to be all
right? No, I'm not at all sure.

She got very distressed when they
measured her... What?

The breadth.

Hi, Marilyn.

Gonna get into the ambulance.

Now, I know that this is gonna be very
difficult for you, Marilyn.

But I promise you, he's not gonna be
able to see you.

He's gonna be on the other side of the
glove.

Okay?

I don't like the guy in the brown
leather. Can we lose him?

Gentlemen, go, please.

And him.

Same there. All right.

Well, keep the comic element.

Him, out.

Gentleman, go.

Behind the blue.

Um, I... That gentleman in the green
jacket, I don't like his haircut. Can

go?

I'm the only guy in black.

Can I have his jacket?

Empty pockets first, please, mate.

Thank you. Okay, sit down.

Right, where do you want to sit?

Number six.

Thank you, Dennis.

Can you send me other

side?

CPS. They say that if she picks him out
for the attempt, we get him for the

other two women as well.

Well, I wouldn't judge him just on
similar facts. We need hard evidence.

No, not according to CPS.

The offences are practically identical.

The facts of one will prove the rest.

All Madeline's got to do is put him in
the van with her that night, and we can

charge her one, two, three of the lot.

Let's see how Miss Maddox likes that.

All right?

On April the 26th, at 10 .15 p .m., you
spoke to a man driving a white

Sherpa van on the Caledonian Road.

He subsequently attacked you.

Now, that man may or may not be on this
identification parade today.

But I would ask you not to make any
decision as to whether you can identify

before you've looked twice at each
member of the parade.

Do you understand?

Okay.

Great start.

May I see that, please?

Marilyn Spark.

You've identified the man sitting at
number six.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Brian Andrew Morton.

I will charge you with the attempted
murder of Marilyn Spark.

Come on.

I will also charge you with the murders
of Susan Harrow and Carol Lennox.

No, it's obvious now Marlon's identified
Morton that all the admissions the

other three have been making against the
suspect.

Harrow and Lennox as well?

There is no doubt they were involved.

Do you reckon your Mr. Morton was there
too?

I don't just reckon he was there. He was
running the show.

It's like the man has total control over
those guys.

What we need...

is to give counsel the chance to get all
that muck out of them.

Court.

We really want them in as co
-defendants.

Yeah, we managed to work that one out.
Makes it difficult when they admit all

the charges.

I mean another charge.

A charge which it is impossible for them
to admit.

Like what?

They'd say they shot JFK.

Like conspiracy to pervert the course of
justice in respect to the Marilyn Spark

attack. They say they did it. Morton
didn't.

If you can show those admissions are
false and made with a view to

Morton, there's your conspiracy to
pervert.

If they want to carry on shielding him,
that's the one charge they absolutely

have to deny.

I'm not staying in here, you know.

That's what I came to discuss.

We can apply to the Crown Court for
bail, of course.

No.

No, that's not what I mean.

There's no reason for me to be here when
there's three men in this prison who

know they've cut those women up, and I
didn't.

Well, let's not discuss your defense
until we have the CVS papers and we see

what they say.

Let's not try to address issues they
haven't raised.

Do you want me to see if I can get you
moved?

Absolutely not.

I want those guys to give evidence for
me.

Well, that's a very big risk to take,
Mr. Morton. They have to plead guilty

first.

And you never know what they'll say in
court.

I know what they'll say.

Just as I know their whole case hinges
on that slag's ID.

Now, you prove she's lying, and they got
nothing.

Whereas three blokes who work for me say
I wasn't involved in anything.

You seen any of these men in here?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going to get bail.

I know it.

I just want you to understand that it'll
have to go before a judge.

And in a case of this kind, he may well
refuse.

Oh, you won't refuse?

I wish I was half as sure as you are
about these things.

Well, you should get sure.

That's how life divides.

There are people who are sure and people
who are not.

I need counsel immediately for Damon
Morton.

He wants to apply for bail.

You may deceive me if you wish, Derek,
but you know that in eating fat and

you are only deceiving yourself.

I've been thinking about Fletcher.

for the trial, but for the time being,
what about a junior from Trench Court?

Sonny Hall's very good. I rather fancy
we need leading counsel for the bail

application, Derek.

These are very grave charges.

We'll never get one to agree, but I can
have a word if you like.

I think I recall how to overcome leading
counsel's resistance, dearest.

I shall simply mention that this is a
case which will appear in every paper in

the country, and we may feel ourselves
unable to instruct Mr Fletcher for the

trial if he doesn't do the bail.

May I speak to Barry, please?

I want to book Mr Fletcher for a murder
case.

Cindy, how come you remember that Damon
was at home with you on the 16th and the

27th of April?

Don't kick, Charmaine.

Stop it. I mean, what made those nights
stand out from any other night?

Just knowing he was here, I thought.

But he was not here some night, did he?
He was with Gerald.

Yeah, that's right.

He has his routine.

He doesn't go out much other times.

Saturdays, Sundays.

Yes, usually with Cheryl.

Stop. I wouldn't have thought that Damon
was the type to stay in most nights. He

seems to like the people around him.

His friends come round here.

All the time.

Cindy, has Damon ever made you do
anything with any of his friends?

No. And none of these friends were here
on any of those nights?

No.

Tell me.

Tell me.

He's a very dominating man, isn't he,
Cindy?

No, that's not true.

He's very loving.

He's been very loving to us all.

Mr Fletcher.

May it please your Lordship, I appear
for the applicant, my learned friend, Mr

Camplin, for the respondent. I
understand there are some objections to

My Lord.

The Crown...

opposed the grant of bail primarily
because of the seriousness of the

as it is a case of an extremely serious
nature, concerning two allegations

of murder and one of attempted murder,
all involving mutilation of an extremely

serious kind.

Mum, please.

I want you to explain.

I lied.

I lied.

No, don't hang up on me.

Don't.

I'll tell the truth now.

Mum.

Mum.

All right, Jimmy?

As Your Lordship will also be aware,
much of the prosecution case depends on

evidence of an identifying witness, who
is a woman living alone at an address

within three miles of the applicant's
home. And we say that the likelihood of

his interfering with this or other
witnesses is also high.

Sit down, Jimmy.

Next to me.

Now tell me what you wanted to explain
to your mum.

My lord, while I would not begin to
attempt to deny that this is a serious

it is one which is fully contested in
every respect.

The applicant is a man of good
character, with no previous convictions,

be calling evidence of alibi in respect
of all these offences.

May I also point out, my Lord, that Mr
Morton is a family man.

With all the ties to the community
envisaged by the Bail Act, his presence

required at home, particularly at the
moment, as Mrs Morton...

has suffered from incapacitating bouts
of clinical depression for some years,

greatly reducing her ability to meet her
domestic responsibilities.

There are no other family members to
care for two small children under eight.

And if the applicant remains in custody,
will have to be placed in care.

For these reasons, I would ask your
Lordship to grant bail.

Right?

Me?

Thank you. Hello!

Who's done this, Jimmy?

Nobody.

Come on, Jimmy, don't give us that.

Nobody. I just felt... I want you to
leave Jimmy

Garrett. Alone.

It would be ridiculous. I mean, it's as
much a threat, Jimmy Garrett, because my

bail application's up this afternoon and
I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise my

release now, would I?

You must think I was born yesterday.

Lucky for you, your bail's been granted.

Yes.

She told you, did she tell you?

We knock ourselves out trying to lock
this nutter up.

With all God knows how many thousands of
pounds in the case, a victim

practically kills herself trying to
identify him. The bloody judge sends him

back out into the street again.

Who was it?

Niji Wask, bleeding heart Jeffries.

Funny how defendants up in front of him
get bailed because they're married to

suicidal wives just like him.

Yeah, and I've told her she'll be
rehoused under the witness protection

Morton's going to go after her. I know
he will.

That'll have the whole case packed in.

Look, I'd put, what's her name, Jill
with her, would you?

Those victims support a lot. They'd
support themselves.

Right. Don't the birth conditions are
that tight if he goes in the same postal

district as how we got him?

You know what's wrong with judges?

They start out as lawyers.

Lawyers are pompous, tight -ass bastards
who spend four years at college

learning just one thing.

had a loose touch completely with
ordinary people's lives.

It's on another bloody planet, isn't it?

Yeah, well, I think I'm seeing a flifter
this morning.

Oh, well, Karina Maddox would make
anyone lose their right. I mean a family

lawyer. But, you know, separating from
his wife.

Oh, well, that's it.

That explains it.

Now, have we run a check with social
services, seeing if there's been any

problems with Morton's kids? Only if
they're on the at -risk register, we

be able to use some of them.

No complaints.

Just an ordinary, happy family.

David.

Yeah?

Please, around again.

I am.

I told you there might be.

Talk to me, Mum.

You know, just think to me.

She threw me out of a go -to -court and
a sailor.

If we did this type, I'll stick out.

Well, it's simple, then.

You can come and live with me.

You gonna leave, Cindy?

Not yet.

I want us to stay together till this
trial's over.

You, me, Cindy.

All of us.

I don't want to do that, David.

Well, I want you to, Gerald.

We're all family.

We stick together.

But we can't do the things we do without
watching and listening and everything.

And we can't do the media either.

Well, we'll just have to do them in the
yard.

Get your things packed, Cheryl.

It was him who did it all, Mum.

He killed them.

He picked them. He told us what to do.

I couldn't say no, Mum. He just looked
at me.

Jimmy, your mum's not here.

Wake up.

He just looks into your eyes.

And you have to do what he says. These
terrible, bad things.

Who can do that, Jimmy?

Damon can.

He cut the titties off, Mum.

And he put them in the box.

In the box.

And he said, he said that that titty
girl

had a big tarts box.

But the teacher, she was a tight
little... Stop it!

Shut up, Jimmy, will you? I don't need
to listen to this. Shut up!

Shut it! All right!

All right! You first, Damon!

You first!

Boy! Get in there!

What did that bastard do to you, Jimmy?

Crazy. Oh, please!

Do you hear that, Cindy?

She's got an omicron.

A bit more room in the new place at
least, Marilyn.

It's got two bedrooms.

Will he know the address?

No, he won't know this one.

It's just to be on the safe side.

Nice of you to come back with me.

I wouldn't have liked coming back on my
own.

Never thought about it before.

That's what I am now.

On my own.

I've been going through your papers this
morning and your case has been

committed. Would you like any tea or
coffee?

Judith's just making.

It's extremely kind of you to offer
again, Derek, but not for me, thanks.

No, thank you very much, Derek.

Right then.

Your case has been committed for trial,
Damon, and prosecution have furnished us

with a certificate of primary disclosure
of unused material.

So we have 14 days to serve written
notice on them of your defence.

Right.

What does that mean?

Well, it means we have two weeks to get
your defence ready.

Well, it's simple.

I wasn't there.

I don't know anything about all this.

I've said that all along.

We've also got to tell them which parts
of their case we take issue with.

And why.

Why, that's simple too, isn't it?

It's that woman.

The one who says she identified me.

I take issue with that bitch.

I'm not saying that I'm not grateful.

I am.

I just can't believe he's not locked up.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Marilyn.

We were surprised, too.

Well, I mean, surprised isn't the word.

Gough?

Yeah?

It's Jill, I should... She's with
Marilyn's spark, as Damon Morton was

outside her flat.

I knew it.

I had a bill for two medicines after
her. How the hell did he find a man?

Take Julian. Go and pick that bastard
up. Further charges have been brought

against you and your former employees.

What charges?

Conspiracy to pervert the course of
justice.

That's ridiculous.

The police are saying the confessions
made by James Garrett and the Bellini

brothers in respect of the attack on
Marilyn Spark were demonstrably false.

That's not true.

And the confessions were made in
accordance with prior instructions from

Yeah. Yeah, I told them to.

Come on.

They can ask him about it in court if
they like.

Strikes me as very odd indeed that the
Crown would bother to pursue this

perverted charge against three men who
have admitted murder and are facing two

life sentences each.

Why are they doing it then?

They clearly want those men as
defendants in your trial at all costs.

So they can cross -examine them?
Absolutely.

About all aspects of your relationship
with them.

So what's the best thing for us?

Oh, the best thing they could do, from
our point of view, is in fact to plead

guilty.

And they won't be in court.

Then that's what they'll do.

Marina Maddox?

Yes, Detective Superintendent.

Yes, I certainly can tell you my
client's whereabout. He's sitting on the

side of my desk.

Oh, over an hour at least.

Do you want to speak to him?

As you wish.

Bye.

What did he want?

I'm wondering if you thought you had
made some approach to Marilyn Spark.

If she said you had, your counsel will
be sending her a bouquet.

I don't understand.

Well, if she has told the police another
man is you, it will discredit her

identification of you.

Oh, yes.

She's changed the locks.

I just need into my house, yeah?

But why don't you just have a word with
us, is it?

I just need a clean shot of those socks.

Yeah, you arrange it and I'll go round
and get everything I need.

Yes, when it suits her.

Yeah.

Sorry, God.

Um... There's been a call from... Don't
tell me Marla Sparks seen Morton again

up a tree this time.

No, it's the security department at
Brixton Prison.

Apparently the prisoner sharing a cell
with Jimmy Garrett asked to speak to

them. Don't tell me he's admitted
killing them. No, but apparently Garrett

in his sleep.

Get that, you brown over there.

You don't want to speak to him yourself?

No, we're due at chambers with CPS and
council.

Right.

Get out of the way!

Fine, we'll be gone in a minute.

Gov!

Hope you realise you're causing an
obstruction.

Might I suggest that you mind your own
business?

I might just make it my business.

Hello.

That man who was outside with the cab,
he's Rupert Halliday, prosecuting

counsel. Oh, they're not there now.

Don't want to cause a further traffic
jam, do we?

How's your identifying witness getting
on? Is she out of hospital yet? Oh, yes.

She's been rehoused. She's recovering
very well. You're quite confident she

stand up under fire?

Because it's her they're going to have a
go at, obviously.

Yes, she knows that. She's very
motivated to go to court. She's very

him. The three others?

The ones charged with conspiracy to
pervert?

The ones charged with police infusion?

With Alice?

Well, the younger one's quite bright,
might be able to stick to his story, but

the older one's more of a thug, and I
reckon he'll trip himself up soon as he

opens his mouth.

Neat manoeuvre, adding in these
conspiracy charges.

Otherwise we'd have no opportunity
whatsoever to cross -examine them.

Thank you, Mr Halliday.

I thought it was the best way to
proceed.

I think it's all going to hold together
very well.

The more we can show that the
confessions are false, the more we can

Marilyn Spark's evidence that there was
only one man.

James Garrett's confession is entirely
inconsistent, both internally and in

relation to the others.

How did you find our Cinderella?

The multicoloured sweater, dropping
fibres everywhere.

Didn't fit, or didn't it?

You're not listening to me, baby.

Guilty, but I don't get it, Damon.

I thought we'd agreed what we were going
to say.

Why don't we just stick with it?

Because I'm telling you to say something
else, and that's why.

Tony, listen to me.

Don't worry, nobody's recording the
calls.

Yes, they are.

Yeah, yeah, they're supposed to, but
trust me.

Tony, trust me.

Now, listen.

What you said never gets heard by the
jury.

It doesn't exist.

So if you don't go to trial, it's
inadmissible evidence.

Yeah. Doesn't matter a fuck what the
police think.

What trial comes up next week?

Would this do me any good?

Like a character reference or something?

Can't do any deals, Vince. If I can let
it be known that you were helpful, it

may do you some good.

Then again, that depends on what exactly
you've got to tell us.

Jimmy Guy talks in his sleep.

Vincent Naylor wants us to put a good
word in for him as he's up to trial next

week.

What did he hear from Sleep and Beauty?

That Damon was with them when they
killed the women.

He picked them out.

He said something about tits in a box.

Tits in a box?

Yeah, a box.

Sounds like Jimmy might want to talk.

Well, where is this book? I mean, it's
not in their house or the yard. We've

been over them both.

Yeah, why the hell do you think we're
slipping across time to ask Jimmy

Up in the box, up in the box.

You're sick.

Can you pay attention, please, Antonio?

I've just received notice from the CPS
that they intend to add a charge of

conspiring to pervert the course of
justice. Yeah, I heard you the first

Now do I have to tell you if I'm
pleading guilty or not?

Well, no, you don't have to make up your
mind this minute.

You need to have decided, though, before
you go to court.

Yeah, bring him up now.

At least make them a happy bunch.

Yeah.

I hope you don't mind me saying this,
Bill.

We thought it'd go better if you weren't
here.

Yeah, OK, fine.

Prisoner 416, Garrett.

Here you are, Jimmy.

Sit down, mate.

Jimmy, we won't take a formal statement
from you until you've pleaded guilty.

But we understand you know of some other
evidence against Brian Morton.

Well, you'll protract me.

You can get segregated in here, Jimmy.

What I said when I was interviewed
wasn't true.

The solicitor came in.

He said that you were charging me for
perverting justice.

It doesn't really matter now, though,
does it? I'm getting two life sentences.

You'd be a mess to your mum, though,
wouldn't you, Jimmy?

I mean, if she knew you'd like broken
with Damon for good, yeah?

Well, if I tell you something...
..something that'll get him...

..will you tell my mum, cos she won't
speak to me?

I'll tell your mum you've been very
helpful to us, Jimmy.

You are going to help us, Jimmy.

Well, I lied about the sweater.

It's not mine, it's Damon's.

You sure about that, Jimmy?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Do you know anything about a box, Jimmy?

What do you mean, Damon's box?

You didn't find it, did you?

Because it's up in the ceiling.

You didn't look in the ceiling.

We'd like to search your premises again,
Mr. Martin. We do have a warrant. You

are entitled to have your solicitor
present if you so wish.

Nah, I don't need my solicitor.

Is that any way you like?

In that case, we'll start with the
concealed attic area above your office

time.

You do videos, you know, if you're that
interested.

I'd take that young woman if so, will
you?

Guys, let's get on with it.

Oh,

this one's loose.

I can see something.

Gov, it's here.

Bring the cameras in.

OK, Cheryl, what have you got underneath
your top?

Don't touch me. I know me right.

I suspect you of being in possession of
controlled drugs. Cheryl, will you

please open your top?

Oh, God.

So he gets off on tits?

Like a restaurant?

He do that to you as well, did he?

No. I did it to myself while he watched.

What's in the black glove?

Oh my God.

So where did the box of breath come
from, Mr Morton?

I don't know.

Didn't even know they were there.

What do you think is remotely likely
that I would have left them there for

weeks for you to find?

I told you.

Never seen that box before in my life.

Brian Andrew Morton.

Antonio Bellini.

Roberto Bellini.

James Garrett.

You are each charged with murder in that
on the 16th April 1998, you did murder

Susan Zoe Harrow. In that on the 27th
April 1998,

you did murder Carol Alexandra Lennox.

Brian Andrew Morton, how do you plead?
Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

Antonio Bellini, how do you plead?

Guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Roberto Bellini, how do you plead?

Guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

James Garrett, how do you plead?

Guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Brian Andrew Morton, you alone are
further charged with attempted

murder in that on the 26th April 1998...

You did attempt to murder Marilyn Park.

How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

You are each further charged with
conspiracy to pervert the course of

the particulars being that between 25th
April and 28th April 1998,

you conspired together that James
Garrett, Antonio Bellini and Roberto

Bellini... should make false statements
of confession to the attempted murder of

Marilyn Spark, with the intention
thereby of perverting the course of

How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

Guilty. Guilty.

Guilty. Would you speak up, please?

Guilty.

I mean, how did they do it?

I mean, how did they do it?

A bit of fresh fish or something? You've
got them trying to let perform in

bloody seals.

Yeah.

They've all played you guilty, haven't
they?

Still, good news is, Garrett will be
giving you his evidence at the moment.

So Martin stays out on bail until the
trial?

Yeah. Yeah, and it's like he doesn't
kill somebody else.

After the school teacher...

Damon cleaned himself up and we were all
washing off the blood.

He used the jet spray on us in the yard.

That's when he told us.

Look, I'm scared of Damon. We're all
scared of Damon.

But we worshipped him.

Why did you say you attacked Marlon
Spark?

Because it's what we all agreed.

We loved him.

Morning, Mr. Halliday. This is the one.
Cheers.

Enjoyed saving us?

Certainly are.

Take me back to the prison!

Please!

What is the ritual for that act, anyway?

Okay, you've never done this before.
Take me to the garden and swear three

that you'll leave your wife.

Mr. Fletcher!

My instructions, Mr.

Halliday. Morning, gentlemen.

You're going the wrong way, aren't you?
Oh, I'm just at Mr. Morton's fan club.

Oh, they don't seem to understand. We
can't speak to it.

Excuse me.

Are you here for the Morton trial?

Yeah, my girlfriend was one of the...
Stay here.

Wait.

Get class.

Are you sure it's a good idea to call,
Jimmy? You know Halliday doesn't want

don't you? Yeah, I know Halliday doesn't
want to, but I'll be very pissed off if

a 30 -page statement filling the dot on
Damon Morton goes down the tubes.

Listen to me.

Just listen to me and calm down, Jimmy.

Your mum can't come down to see you now
because there's no time, but she'll be

down to see you afterwards.

Do you promise I'll see her after?

Yes, you will, Jimmy.

And she's really proud that you're
standing up against Morton.

I don't know. I don't want to see him.

Do it for your mum, Jimmy.

She loves you.

I'll try.

Do your best.

I'll do my best.

I'll let him know upstairs.

Well, I have to go first.

Yes, you will.

But it won't be for a while.

But why don't you sit down for a bit,
eh?

There were two other women that died.

Weren't there?

I'm not really allowed to discuss the
case, Marilyn.

I just want to get it over with.

All rise.

here unless Garrett's rock solid and not
touching it. I didn't want him in the

first place. His statement's
comprehensive. Control.

Morton's involvement.

Detective Superintendent, we're better
off without him. He's a liability. He's

been all over the place from the word
go.

The only thing we need is Derek from the
witness box. The witness breaking down,

retracting his statement.

The defense would have a field day.

I've got quite enough to worry about
with Marilyn Spark.

I don't bloody believe it.

Mr. Halliday.

May it please your Lordship, members of
the jury.

I appear together with my known friend
Mr. Camplin for the Crown, my known

friends Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Mater for
the defendant.

This case concerns a series of offences
against women committed

earlier this year.

You'll be hearing about three different
attacks.

On two of them, the defendant was
assisted by three other men who will

in this trial and will not appear before
you.

I can tell you now that James Gannett
and the brothers Antonio Bellini and

Roberto Bellini have all pleaded guilty.

The charges of murder of these two women
and our awaiting sentence.

The Crown says that the principal
attacker and

author of the distinctive pattern of
injuries present in

each case was the defendant.

Brian Andrew

Morton, we say.

But the attack on Marilyn Spark was
carried out by

Morton alone.

You will hear from Marilyn Spark how she
described her attacker and how she

picked out Morton.

At an identification parade, Marilyn
Spark described a sweater.

worn by her attacker.

It was blue, red and green with a hood.

Members of the jury, this blue, green
and

red hooded sweater was found at Morton's
home

at the time of arrest.

Furthermore, fibres from this sweater
were found on the clothing.

of Susan Harrow and Carol Lennox, and
also on the clothing worn by Marilyn

at the time of her attack that night.

This is the sweater.

We say that Morton wore when he went
about his

murderous business.

Miss Parker will tell you that she was
attacked.

By one man.

And one man alone. A man who could not,
from her description,

have been James Garrett or Antonio
Bellini or Roberto

Bellini.

How then, you will be asking yourselves,
did these fake confessions

come to be made?

The conclusion is inescapable.

that Morton completely dominated these
three other men. Not only did

they assist him in the murder of Susan
Harrow, Carol Lennox,

but they also made what can only have
been false confessions

to the attack on Marilyn Spark. If they
did not participate in the attack on

Marilyn Spark, as she will tell you,

How do these men come to be in a
position to give detailed confessions

they were put up to it by the real
attacker?

Their boss.

Brian Andrew Morton.

This is the conspiracy which we allege
and count for.

Can you give me any indication how much
longer you're likely to be, Mr.

Halliday? Only a short time, my lord. We
shall be adjourning for luncheon at the

conclusion of Mr. Halliday's speech.

Members of the jury, I'm going to ask
you to look at the big bundle of

photographs in the blue folder depicting
the injuries sustained by these women.

These photographs.

you will see that each victim has had
her left

breast removed.

You will hear from Marilyn Spark how she
was forced to inflict that

injury on herself.

I can also tell you that the body part
depicted in photographs 24 to 28, female

breasts,

were found, along with some samples of
human hair which have been identified as

belonging to Susan Harrow, Carol Lennox,
and Marilyn Spark, concealed

in the defendant's business premises.

You will be driven, will you not, to
conclude that what we are

dealing with here are the activities of
a tight -knit

evil cult led by this defendant

Brian Andrew Morton known to his

associates

I think it's as good as Oprah.

I love it when they beat up on each
other.

Not in getting married, that's well.

Do you think Damon knew that woman?

She's making it all up, isn't she?

He never had sex with her. I know him.
He never did.

I mean, it stands to reason if he went
to screw you, he wouldn't screw her.

Listen, Cheryl.

You weren't the first babysitter.

And you won't be the last.

I swear by almighty God that the
evidence I shall give shall be the

whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Is your name Marilyn Spark?

Yes, it is.

Miss Spark, I'm going to ask you some
questions about the night of April the

26th of this year.

Would you tell us, in your own words,
what happened to you that night?

Well, I was working as a prostitute at
that time.

I was standing in a street at the back
of King's Cross.

A man in a white van drove up and pulled
up next to me.

He told me to go round the back, which I
did.

I got into the back of the van.

And he called out to me that he was
going to drive around the corner.

Is your recollection of these events
quite clear?

Of course it is.

I'll never forget it as long as I live.

What happened after the van stopped?

Well, he got into the back of the van
with me.

He got hold of my arm, put on a pair of
handcuffs and got

out a knife.

He asked me to do oral sex.

He said that he would cut me up if I
didn't.

So I did that.

Then he made me.

cut one of my breath.

I had to cut off my breath.

Silence in court, please.

If I hadn't been tied to the rail thing
that he had, I would have fallen down.

He pulled off my...

The bottom half of my clothes.

And it stuck this thing in me.

Something metal.

I've never felt pain like it.

Did you give the police a description of
the man?

Yes.

Could you tell us about the man who
attacked you?

Yes.

He was white.

With short, mousy, blonde hair.

Between five foot eight and six foot.

Slim build.

With a local accent.

Was there anything distinctive about his
clothing?

Yes, he wore a sweater with a hood.

Red, green and blue.

The van?

Anything distinctive about the van?

Yes, it had markings on the back door.

A kind of red zigzag had been painted
on.

What are you doing in there?

What did you mean about that baby,
sister?

You don't like to say anything to arm me
up, you silly, stringy bit. Jealous!

Have you got any cotton wool?

I'm hurting.

Let me have a look.

Miss Barb, no one denies the fact that
you have been the victim of the most

appalling attack.

And I am sure that everyone here present
feels the deepest sympathy for you.

But the reality is that you never had
much of an opportunity to observe the

who attacked you on the 26th of April.

Now...

As the van stopped, you regarded the
driver as an ordinary client, thereby

paying him no particular attention,
correct?

Yes. You went straight into the back of
that vehicle, did you not? Yes. And it

was dark in there, is that right?

Yes. And once inside, you were subjected
to a horrific attack of the type you

have described.

Yes. You were frightened.

Terrified. Your concentration centred on
self -protection. Of course. Well, it

must have been...

A fast -moving incident. Yes. In
circumstances bound to make

difficult. I know it was him. You're
quite certain? I am. Couldn't it have

somebody else? Never. You're quite
certain? It was him.

It was him.

I'd know him anywhere.

You categorically and completely exclude
the possibility that you could have

made a mistake.

Yes, I do.

It was him? Yes.

Mr.

Fletcher.

Mr. Fletcher, are you ready to carry on?

Yes, my lord.

Wasn't there another occasion when you
saw your attacker and you reported your

sighting to the police?

That's right.

Tell us about that sighting.

Could you please answer the question,
Miss Park?

That's a police matter.

Oh, I'm afraid not. No, that's a matter
for us.

Tell us about that fighting, Miss Park.

Could I remind you that you are on oath?

Let me help you.

Now, I understand that it is not unknown
in the aftermath of a violent attack

for any individual who looks even
slightly like the attacker to trigger a

emotional reaction in the victim. Now,
do you think that that's what happened

the time of this sighting?

I don't know.

Well, perhaps I could help you again.

If...

It turns out that at the time you said
you saw Brian

Andrew Morton, he was sitting in his
solicitor's offices,

then your fighting of him must have been
wrong.

You see, my concern is that this
phenomenon, which seems to have happened

you thought you sighted him outside your
flat, also occurred when you picked Mr

Morton out from an identification
parade. No.

I'm positive.

I'm sure it was him.

The man I identified was the man who
attacked me.

And you were positive.

You were sure it was him when you
thought...

You saw him outside your flat.

What is your profession now, Miss Park?

Do I have to answer that question?

Please answer counsel's question, Miss
Park.

Well, I'm... still doing the same thing.

On and off.

You're a prostitute?

Yes, I am.

Thank you, Miss.

You may leave the witness box, Miss
Sparke.

I could not catch him, something from
that slag.

If he did go there and he's brought back
Air James to me, I'll believe him, I'll

kill him.

He should have finished the job, saved
us all this trouble.

But it couldn't have been him.

He was with you all those nights.

Tom Carlson. He was never with me. Not
on any of those nights.

I shall adjourn now for today.

10 .30 tomorrow morning.

Yep, standing in court.

My barrister made mincemeat of her.

You lied to me.

What did I lie about, Cindy?

You killed those women.

She's told me.

Charmaine?

He needs it for the trial.

No. Jamie.

Jamie.

Jamie.

Jamie. Jamie.

No.

All parties for the case of Warburg.

You should be in court.

I needed to tell you my wife's been
taken ill.

I don't know if she'll be able to give
evidence or not.

I'll tell Mr. Fletcher.

It's been quite annoying.

Salvatore Bellini died last night.

So what's going to happen if Cindy can't
come to court?

Well, her statement could be read.

If the judge agrees.

The prosecution won't like it.

Reading it won't do you any favors.

What's wrong with her?

Oh, nothing too bad.

Are you okay in there?

So, the evidence of these diagrams leads
me to believe that the same kind of

knife and torture weapon was used on all
three women.

Thank you, Doctor. You may return to the
witness board.

May I ask you again, Doctor?

Would you say that the injuries that you
have just clarified for us bear what

might be called a common authorship?

Yes, I would.

It's impossible, of course, to say
categorically that a single person

them, but it is undoubtedly the case
that the pattern, if you will, the

of these injuries proceeded from a
single mind, which leads me to believe

the injuries were inflicted by the same
kind of weapons and in the same way. In

summary, then, Doctor, what you're
saying is that these injuries were

by the same person.

My lord, my learned friend should know
better. Quite so, Mr. Fletcher. No

further questions, my lord.

You may leave the witness box now, Dr.
Foster.

Your next witness, Mr. Halliday.

Detective Superintendent Michael Walker.

Detective Superintendent, you
interviewed the defendant extensively on

of occasions spread over a period of
some week, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Mr. Morton has no previous convictions,
is that right?

Yes. Has he consistently maintained on
all these occasions that he knew nothing

about all these offences and that he was
with other people at the times when

these attacks occurred?

Yes, he has.

Now, you told my learned friend that you
came to arrest the defendant because

you observed James Garrett...

driving the van in which Miss Park said
she was attacked.

Now, the van belonged to the defendant.

He fitted the description more closely
than Garrett, so he was arrested.

He then questioned the two Bellini
brothers because the defendant said that

too drove his van. Is all that correct?

Yes, it is. So it has been clear from
the outset, has it not, that three

other men who are certainly...

guilty of the two murders, had frequent
access to Mr. Morton's vehicle.

That's correct, yes.

And is it also true that all these three
other men had access to the defendant's

business premises at evenings and at
weekends when he was not there?

Mr. Morton claimed they had.

Could the witness please be shown
exhibit DP -44?

Exhibit DP -44 is the bunch of keys
taken from James Garrett on his arrest,

isn't it?

That was what was recorded by the
exhibits officer, yes.

Well, there are other keys there, aren't
there, besides van keys, two Chubb

-type keys, a Yale key, and a key for a
padlock.

That's right, yes.

And presumably one of your officers has
established that these other keys on the

ring with the van keys also opened
the...

Yard and the offices of Mr. Morton.

I don't believe so.

Well, perhaps with my lord's permission,
one of your officers wouldn't mind

going and trying the keys in the yard
door now and coming back and giving us

the result.

By all means.

Certainly.

Now, if it is the case that all three of
these other men had access not only to

the van but also to the yard, then that
means that any or all of them could have

hidden this bot containing the weapons
and what we may call the

trophies of which we have heard so much
about, isn't it?

That's not for me to say.

That's not for you to say.

No.

Did it ever occur to you that James
Garrett was the owner of this box?

Or that Antonio Bellini or Roberto
Bellini owned the box?

I can't comment on that.

If it is the case that Garrett or the
other men put that box there, then

wouldn't you think it was a perfectly
reasonable and understandable thing for

them to do to try to explain to
police...

that Mr. Morton knew nothing about their
crimes. Mr. Fletcher, that really is a

matter of comment.

Where was the sweater found?

In Mr. Morton's house.

Can the jury see the sweater?

As we can see, the sweater is large.

Sweater's not exactly made to measure,
Mr Fletcher. It's the sort of thing that

can be worn over other clothes.

Would you have a look at this
photograph, Detective Superintendent?

Do you recognise that photograph,
Detective Superintendent?

No.

You're quite certain of that? Yes.

Would you know who the man in the
photograph is?

Yes.

Could you tell the jury who the man in
the photograph is?

It's Jimmy Garrett.

You're kidding, hasn't anybody described
them? No, they bloody haven't.

Well, don't look at me. I am, sunshine.
You should have tested these, because

they made us look like bloody pricks,
which is exactly what Fletcher intended,

and he knows they've got... wrong to do
with anything. Move it!

Bugger off, will ya?

They're getting nuked all day.

Can't with them.

Come on, girls.

Get in the house.

Go on. Go on!

Mr. Morton, you have heard the details
of a series of offences set out on a

number of occasions in court.

Could you tell the jury now, at the
outset, whether you were involved in any

those offences, at any time, in any way?

No.

I was not.

Had you ever, in fact, seen Miss Barg

The witness who identified you as her
attacker before she gave evidence in

court? No.

I swear on the Bible, I never did.

Would you tell the jury where you were
between 8pm and midnight on the night

of the 16th and the 27th of April of
this year?

I was at home with my wife and family on
both those nights.

You did not leave the house at all? No.

And could you tell the court where you
were between 10 p .m. and midnight on

night of the 26th of April, also earlier
this year, the night on which Miss

Spark was attacked?

I was with Cheryl Goodall.

She's my girlfriend.

without you rubbing it off.

Can you describe to us what your
relationship with your employees was

Well, we're all friendly.

You know, not so much I'm the boss.

And they work for me, but...

Well, like on a level.

I'm married.

And the lads aren't.

So the three of them, they went out
together more as a group, you know.

I reckon it was meeting girls and having
a laugh.

That's why I used to lend them the
phone.

God, I'm sorry.

I perfectly understand what you're
saying.

I had no idea.

So you knew that they did things on
their own.

As a group.

Without you.

Yeah.

I wasn't... I had big secrets all the
time. It was just... I knew there was

stuff that I wasn't included in.

I swear by almighty God.

that the evidence I shall give shall be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing

but the truth.

You're quite certain your husband was
with you on those dates, Mrs. Morton?

Yes.

Yes, I am.

And the intervening date, where did he
tell you he was then?

He was with his girlfriend.

But I can't lie about the fact that
Brian was with me that night.

Till well after twelve.

Every night we had together was special.

Even though what we were doing wasn't
nice.

And no, Damon.

Sorry. Brian.

He couldn't have done those terrible
things.

What the hell can we do?

The lion on oath.

The jury can't see through them now.
Yeah, well, it's out of our hands.

Are you going to come back in for the
closing speeches?

No, I'm going for days.

Come and get me if anything happens,
will you? Sure.

Members of the jury, ask yourselves if
it is remotely credible that it is

a coincidence that the description which
Marilyn Spark gave of her... precisely

fitted the man who owned the van in
which the attack was carried out.

Can you really believe that the
discovery of a sweater in

Brian Morton's house, the sweater
described by Marilyn Spark as having

by her attacker, is yet another
coincidence?

Jimmy would have told the truth if only
you'd have let him testify.

It's not a case of being a bit mixed up
or not getting every detail quite right.

It's a case of these confessions to the
attack on Marilyn Spark.

Being simply and utterly incredible.

Made, each of them, by people who are
not there.

Made to assist Brian Morton to conceal
the

real truth of his guilt. Made to order.

Made to his order.

Why, Jimmy?

You'll be sent to Britain for the other
things you've done.

Why lie for Damon?

That's not your sweater.

Why did you lie?

If your father was alive, it would kill
him.

You don't understand, do you?

Damon's my father.

Now, who would have done that?

The three men who had no opportunity for
so doing?

And who went to the police with it
firmly in mind to admit to a crime which

prosecution say they did not commit.

Or this defendant, who had every
opportunity and every

motive.

When in this hugely complex mass of

facts, one fact shines through.

And that is the fact of Marilyn Spark's
positive identification of this

defendant as her attacker. Everything
else in this case flows from that

identification. The van, his van.

Sweater found in his house, the box, in
his office. The false confessions of the

three men to benefit him and him alone.

These reasons.

Members of the jury.

you may have little difficulty in being
certain that he is guilty

of each of the three attacks and of the
conspiracy to

produce these false confessions.

What? What do you want, huh? Huh?

Leave me alone.

You swore on the Bible that he was with
you that night.

Why?

Why did you do that?

I didn't know.

Why?

I didn't bloody know.

The devil's making you.

He already has.

The Crown have invited you to rely on
Marilyn Spark's identification of the

defendant. And yet you have had
demonstrated to you an occasion when she

wrong.

Marilyn Spark falsely identified a man
in the street as Brian Andrew

Morton.

Members of the jury, how can the Crown
say that Marilyn Spark is a

reliable witness?

How can you be sure that her
identification was ever correct?

I suppose that Brian Morton had not been
at his solicitor's office when Miss

Spark claimed to have seen him.

Doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

No, the reality is that Marilyn Spark is
in fact a thoroughly unreliable

witness.

As I'm afraid to say, you would expect.

From someone who earns her living by
prostitution.

I was telling the truth, you bastards!

This man is a killer! A disgusting
animal!

Silence in court.

Because there is no forensic evidence
linking Brian Andrew Morton to any of

victims, or the weapons, whose common
use in all of these offences is a

element of the Crown's case, my learned
friend...

has therefore told you that Brian Andrew
Morton must be guilty.

Well, we submit that such an argument is
wholly nonsensical.

Members of the jury, it is now my duty
to sum up the evidence.

And I remind you, in a case of this kind
that turns almost entirely on matters

of fact, it is you, not I, who decides.

You've heard the witnesses.

You decide what evidence you accept and
what you reject.

This is clearly...

A terrible case.

However, I remind you not to try the
case on emotion, but according

to the oath that you took at the
commencement of this trial.

Yeah, no, darling, but your mom and I
have split up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it means daddy's not coming home.

Yeah, of course we will.

Yeah.

I love you too, princess.

God, you're right.

I'm sure they're already on their way
back in.

That's too quick. I've got my fledge.

Will the foreman please stand?

Mr Foreman, please answer this question,
yes or no.

Have you reached verdicts on each count
on which you are all agreed?

Yes.

On the first count, do you find the
defendant guilty or not guilty of the

of Susan Zoe Harrow?

Not guilty.

Silence, please.

On count two, do you find the defendant
guilty or not guilty of the murder of

Carol Alexandra Lennox?

Not guilty.

Silence in court.

On count three, do you find the
defendant guilty or not guilty of the

murder of Marilyn Spark?

Not guilty.

On count four, do you find the defendant
guilty or not guilty of conspiring to

pervert the course of justice?

Not guilty.

And these are the verdicts of you all?

They are.

I'd love to know what kind of hold he
has over there.

by the kids, Gerald.

You never give a shit about...

Better come now.

Daddy's got Mummy.

Daddy's got Mummy.

Daddy's got... Who are you talking to?

Secret.

The rugby player's out of the picture, I
swear it.

Are you sure?

Just ask her.

She can only say no, eh?

You've got to be out of the table. 999
-CALL -CONTAINMENT -MORTON -PASS.

I took myself down to the Tally Ho
Tavern.

Find me a bottle of beer.

I sat me down by a tender young maiden
whose eyes

were as dark as your hair.

And as I was sitting, bottle to bottle
of her

song.

That silver -tongued devil would just
flip from the shadows

and smile in the snow. He said, hey,
little girl,

don't you know he's dead?

He's dead. He's dead.

He's dead.

He's dead.

He's killed her.

It wasn't me.

Please.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me.
