Okay.

Hi.

All ready to leave, I think.

How long will you be gone? Well, a couple of days. Three to be exact.

Everything's ready, I think. The fridge is full. The apartment's all yours.

Good.

Let me see.

You don't want to stay in a hotel or anything, do you? No, no, I'll be fine.

You're not going to change anything too drastically, are you?

I've always said what this place needs is a woman's touch.

What I mean is you're not going to, you know, knock down any walls or... Like

that. You'll miss your plane, Harry.

Okay. I'll see you Thursday.

Have a nice trip.

With the rules, for instance.

Hello?

Who is it, Sookie?

I hung up.

Your Honor.

Gentlemen of the jury.

I have to inform you of a slight delay.

I crave your patient indulgence.

I'll get it, Kookie.

Hello?

He needs his walk.

I want you to listen to me.

When you came in you tripped an alarm. It's connected to the telephone.

The police will be on their way.

Go while you can.

They'll be here in a few minutes.

Mr. Roo?

Sorry, I thought you were someone else.

Gentlemen of the jury.

The accused!

The

court will

come to order.

Judge Fairfield presides.

My lad.

Gentlemen of the jury.

Prosecution will prove how the accused, whom you all see clearly before you...

How the accused... Why did you bring me here?

You are not... Silence!

Silence! Silence!

Silence!

Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

I know you.

You're Grant. You're Colin Grant.

Colin George Grant.

You murdered. I sentence you to life in prison. You smashed that woman's skull

to pulp. I gave evidence. Gave evidence.

You destroyed a man.

You destroyed Colin Grant. Destroyed him.

Does the accused wish to make an opening statement?

What are you going to do?

No opening statement.

You hear that, members of the jury?

The accused have not wished to make an opening statement at this time, no

matter.

We will proceed.

Inspector, what do you have?

Mr. Boucher? Yes.

Somebody broke in through the downstairs window.

Apparently the contestant was alone.

So you saw a car?

Yes. Where?

I... I asked where did you see this car? On the edge of the wood.

You were driving past and you saw a car?

Yes. And remember the number? Yes.

That one week, seven days later, you were able to remember the number of a

that you saw for a fleeting second as you drove past.

Yes. And you gave this number to the police.

Grant, you're unwell.

Untie me, please.

Gave the number to the police.

Out of her own mouth, gentlemen.

The car was traced, of course. The man was apprehended.

The sentence, life.

The rest of your natural life!

They would have caught you anyway.

I think this might be a good time to take a short adjournment.

The court will rise.

You haven't got a hug.

We'd look at their faces.

You can always tell by their faces.

There's no doubt about the identification?

No, the designer was absolutely sure. It was ground to attack them, all right.

When did he escape?

Four days ago.

Criminally insane.

Thank you for the menu.

We have heard how the accused drove along the A426 and stopped his car about

mile past the village near a stretch of common land.

What happened next?

Answer the question, Grant.

Colin George Grant.

You are charged that you did murder Mary Louise Cooper.

On the 10th of August last.

Answer the question, Grant!

I... I... I can't.

Can't.

You can't answer the question.

I shall answer it for him.

The woman, Mary Cooper.

How long had you known her?

Listen to me. How long a week?

Yes. Two weeks? Yes. Over two weeks?

I don't know. You don't know for three weeks, isn't that so? Please. Three

weeks? Yes. Three short weeks? Yes, yes, yes!

She died when you were ten.

Gentle, soft hands.

Soothing hands.

I have a headache, Mother.

My head is bursting.

Stop it.

Soft, feminine hands.

Don't do it.

You wanted to touch her, didn't you?

You reached out to touch her.

Busy. Don't do it. Are you disappointed?

Did you want to squeeze the life out of her?

Don't look. Listen to me and try to understand.

When you're young, when someone, a loved one dies, nothing can ever replace the

love, but...

The wound will heal. You must try and let it heal.

I have tried.

Now we're really getting somewhere.

Deeper and deeper into the wood. A woman keeps on talking.

Talking.

Talking. Talking. Talking.

She wouldn't stop talking.

I was standing behind her.

I could see the sun shining on her hair.

Naughty girl.

Mustn't have the hope.

Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached your verdict?

Anything?

No. Still no lead.

Phone back on?

It's been fixed for quite a while.

Sentence is life.

The rest of your natural life.

Dr. Nassau.

Year after year after year.

Mine rejects.

is the one chance of relief, death, the one way to freedom.

I'm going to release you.

You wish this court to hear an appeal?

Yes.

On what grounds?

New evidence?

Yes. A surprise witness?

Yes.

A surprise witness?

Who is this latecomer?

Can this person throw any light on the case in hand?

Don't you know what you're doing is wrong? Wrong?

It's in the woods after you... When it was over, didn't you even feel sorry?

Sorry? Why should I be sorry?

It had to be done.

That's what I couldn't understand.

The reasons why I had to do it.

Then tell me, Grant.

Explain to me.

She would have understood.

But she was... Call the surprise witness.

The defense demands the surprise witness.

I did it.

I did it for you.

Harry? I'm alright.

No. Everything will be alright.

No, I'm safe now.

We're the same.
