All language subtitles for The Brief s01e02 So Long Samantha

um

A proper bed.

Swamps. And a shower.

Okay, Charlie?

I'm Jimmy.

Do you want to come to a party?

We're not staying.

216.

Look, we can find somewhere good for
half of this.

Wait here.

the last thing I do.

Press for an inquest.

More than a year ago, on the other side
of the world, suspects aren't going to

fly over for an inquest and incriminate
themselves.

You know me, Henry.

I never take no for an answer.

Pilgrim. Oh, very good.

I hear you're taking a sabbatical.

Finishing a little book.

The final push.

The Baron's pleased.

He's got me at home to cook us
breakfast.

Henry's writing a book.

Henry?

What's called a book?

I don't see how he's got the time.

Some people use their spare time, Miss.

May I warn you, gentlemen and ladies,
make hay while the sun shines.

The government wants to lower your fees.

It's true about a book, Henry.

It's a wind -up.

Any multiple murders?

Any celebs wanting defending for
assault?

Non -payment of parking fines?

Anything? I've got two plum jobs for
you, Mr Farmer, sir.

Plenty of potatoes.

I'm on the Samantha Nicola inquest and
nothing else for the time being.

Ain't gonna happen.

Council's flat broke.

They're not gonna fly people in from the
Far East and put them up in hotels for

weeks? No way.

I doubt the coroner would let that
affect his judgement.

Who is it at Kentish Town?

Cecil Greenway.

I hear you've got Amina the Hun
instructing you, Henry.

Oh, Maramita.

Old -fashioned expression, ma 'am?

Old -fashioned person.

Hot. That's the expression I'd use for
Amina Lang. Hot.

All finished, have you?

Oh, don't tell me. You're offering me
some really crappy and tiring work. Only

if you're free.

Thanks for the shares tip.

I'm quite well, I think.

Amazing man, my Uncle Ted. You should
invest yourself.

What with?

I know you don't like doing this, but
the press follow him whenever he goes

This is Henry Palmer.

And, uh... I'm sorry about Sam.

This way.

The Foreign Office.

First they tell me I can't get a visa.

Then they try to stop me seeing her body
because it might upset me.

Upset.

She was a talented musician, wasn't she?

When she started school, she was the
cling to me so tight I was having her

lessons too.

Because they couldn't get her off me.

Sophie's different.

She's the independent one.

What do you think happened to Sam?

She was raped on the balcony and pushed
over.

I saw her body.

Bruises and scratches on her thighs.

You can even see the thumb marks where
her thighs were forced apart.

In a post -mortem, nothing.

These are the people who were at the
party.

Oh, we see nothing. We know nothing.

Flight crew?

Mostly. Four of the men are gay, and a
German diver was drunk and incapable.

So that leaves three male suspects.

Assuming you've ever had sex with her,
also pushed her over.

How did you get all these?

Some from the papers, some I take
myself. Some from a girl who was at a

Who's this?

Somebody called Jimmy. He invited them
to the party, but we don't know who he

is. He wasn't staying at the hotel.
Nobody at the party remembers him. Maybe

didn't stay long.

These are the bastards we want.

McConnell and Stevens.

McConnell had this stewardess, Gwen
Rogers, hanging on him all night.

He's his alibi, but most of the guests
confirm it.

The sperm in the body.

Are we sure it wasn't... Not mine.

We hadn't made love for a few days.

Sorry, Henry.

This is Charlie Spiros, Sam's fiancée.

We got his DNA to eliminate him.

Charlie's not saying Thomas is going to
be a doctor like his dad was.

Costas is a bit short -staffed on
earning some pocket money.

We really shouldn't be in the same room,
Charlie.

What are you talking about?

He'll be a witness to the inquest.

Mr Palmer's read your statement.

Let's just wait.

I was wondering.

There were quite a few people in the
room.

Nobody heard any struggle on the
balcony.

My daughter says flag.

Is that what you think? Tell him. To
hell with the rules.

Tell him.

The music was pretty loud.

I don't know why no one complained.

We need strong evidence.

Pointing to rape and away from
consensual sex to establish a motive for

We don't have that.

You better disappear.

Look, two officers from the Met go out
there and they say this is very

suspicious. Suspicious is not enough.

I'm going to get these people. Are you
with us or not?

Inquests don't often come up with the
answers people want.

We're supposed to ask our questions and
be grateful for what we get.

If witnesses think they'll incriminate
themselves, they can say nothing. A

coroner's court isn't much like a court
of law.

So why do you want to do it?

Maybe if I was in your position, I'd
feel the same way.

I know it wasn't an accident. I know.

Maybe you're right. But if I'm going to
represent you, no more going after

witnesses. Leave that to Amina.

You sound like my wife.

Okay, you don't want to do it? I don't
care. I wasn't saying... I don't need no

doubting, Thomas. I'll get myself a
barrister with balls.

Stevens and McConnell won't come for the
inquest anyway.

Well, there's always the media. Maybe I
can persuade them. What do we know about

Stevens and McConnell?

Well, they own Ramallah Beach Shop in
Bondi, a couple of minor assault

recreational drugs.

Get on to Sydney Police.

Get their records in detail.

Have you had a DNA test on the sperm?

It's coming.

Don't think badly of Costas.

In fact, haven't I?

They'll forget about this tomorrow.

I like them difficult.

Holly Graham, City Page.

Can you confirm that everyone who's
bought shares through your express line

actually received certificates?

I've told you who I am. You can ring me
back if you like.

Maybe you could tell me who you are and
whether you actually have an office at 6

Raleigh Square.

Yes, I know you have a London number,
but they can easily be diverted to

abroad, can't they, Mr... Hello?

Hello?

It's me.

Huh?

No, I don't... The living room's here.

But you know that.

Probably been here scores of times.

The all -party trip to Jordan got
cancelled.

Go on.

I might be dead tomorrow.

You look better. They put me on some new
chemo.

Mice with malignant prostates still
living years after.

Mouse years, anyway.

Hang on in there.

I'd rather it was you than a line of
studs.

So cheers.

I'd better go. She's daft. I mean it,
really. You have my blessing.

I think you'll be good for her.

I've always had the suspicion you don't
want to let her go, Jerry.

I can't take her with me where I'm of.

She likes you.

I like men.

What's the point?

We're more like brother and sister.

She's gorgeous, of course. You know
that.

And with 4 ,000 Catholic constituents,
having a wife helps.

Oh, God.

You didn't get my text?

My phone was off.

She tried.

Stop being nice, Jerry. I can't stand
it.

Stay and have a drink.

Mice. Can we have dinner?

Sure.

I'll see you.

I'm afraid as coroner I sometimes have
to make difficult decisions.

I've just read the new autopsy report I
asked for from Dr. Dierkin.

He veers towards the Indonesian doctor.

Accidental death, much more likely.

So I'm happy to leave it there. No
inquest necessary.

Can we see his report?

Of course, I'll make the principal
conclusions public.

But can my client see the full report?

I hope you understand the media interest
in this. It's a front -page story.

Oh, yes.

An inquest can only be another ordeal
for the family.

Ms. Trinex said it was just a tragic
accident. She simply fell while under

influence.

Probably after casual sex.

They can't accept it if they don't
believe it. What about the marks on her

thighs? After death.

Perhaps when the body was moved? That's
crap.

Did Dr Durkin consider testing the
semen?

What would be the point?

We're ahead of him on that one.

It's going to present the lab results in
the inquest, Cecil.

I suppose we could take it to an appeal.

DNA says there were two blokes.

Intercourse with two men does not prove
she was raped.

Try telling that to the tabloids.

We'll be having a new autopsy anyway,
and we'll publish the findings in full.

Autopsy for the Nicolau family begins
11am.

Forensic don't look, huh?

I think we should stop now.

Now? We made that bloody coroner change
his mind.

We've got a new autopsy and an inquest
starting tomorrow.

I'm going skating.

Sally's got a lecture, so he's going to
give me a lift.

You OK, Mum?

I'm fine. Go on.

Yes.

Have you seen those two?

I'm talking about Sam.

She's not a body to be dragged out and
cut up over and over again.

You heard what the barrister said. We'll
maybe never know. No.

She was a lovely girl.

And she's dead.

And I want to bury her.

If we go weak now, it'll all be for
nothing, and we'll never get those

How are you going to pay me?

The body wasn't discovered until early
the next morning when the security guard

was doing his round.

The deceased's watch had stopped at 2
.07.

The balcony was guarded by a barrier
just under four feet in height.

I imagine it would be quite easy to fall
if you were drunk.

Only if you were fooling about, climbing
or sitting on it.

May I ask Detective Sergeant Johnson,
how easy would it be to throw someone

the balcony?

A person of Samantha's size and weight.

Very easy.

Am I what?

Honestly, nobody here believes it.

No way.

Oh!

No.

What time is it in Sydney? Shouldn't you
be asleep?

Have a good day.

Hello, Alfie.

What's wrong with Jack?

Not happy at all.

A little bird has told him that some
lawyer in your chambers is writing a

about London gangs.

He's been left out of it.

Shame. He don't want to be in it.

He's done some terrible things in the
old days.

Terrible. And it's a bit he deserved it.

And I believe him.

He is a gentleman.

And he's got a nice new young wife who
doesn't know, well, you know, the whole

story, the this and the that.

Hmm.

Tell your mum it's time you came over
for a visit.

You just fight.

Wouldn't.

It's good you and Jerry talked.

It's what you wanted, wasn't it?

No.

No, Henry.

Two men in your life.

A power.

I don't care about him.

I love you.

Whatever he says, he doesn't want to let
you go.

He's dying.

He said he isn't now.

What did he say?

Well, good luck to him. He looks better.

They want to keep his spirits up so they
can change the truth and try something

else.

Henry... Hey, we're on a roll.

We've played Stephen's criminal record.

Most recent, convicted in Sydney for
possession of... Ecstasy and GAB.

But worse than GBA?

It's a date -break drug.

He had a few drops.

He said he didn't know what it was, got
away with a fine.

The feeling seems to be the air -beat
shock might allow a bit of dealing on

side.

Amina Lang.

Polly Graham.

Hi.

Can we talk?

I'll be with you in a minute.

Worked together before?

No.

Ooh.

Got the feeling you were old friends.

Listen, I would have mentioned this
before, but the business with Gerry

it out of my head.

Look, I hope Gerry lives for another 50
years, but not with you. Listen, did you

say you had investments with Standard
Rally?

Yes. Ben's uncle recommended them.

Have you had the share certificates?

Don't know.

What happens when you try to sail?

No need.

They're doing very nicely.

Sorry, I've got to go.

Don't keep Miss Whiplash waiting.

I love you too.

Professor Krieger, in your opinion, what
was the cause of death?

A haemorrhage following a depressed
fracture to the back of the skull,

was sudden and massive.

So are you in agreement with Dr. Durkin?

It was consistent with her having fallen
from a height.

All I'm prepared to say is it's
consistent with falling backwards onto a

surface. There are no fractures to the
long bones of the arms or legs. With a

fall from a second floor, you'd expect
that in 90 % of cases.

I'm assuming this is one of the 10%.
What other injuries did you notice?

There was a fracture to the sternum,
missed in the other reports.

Collision with something as she fell.

Perhaps. There are also some long
scratches to the outside of the right

which are unlikely to have been made
during the fall.

More significantly, there is a lateral
two -inch edema at the top of and inside

the left thigh.

Is that suspicious?

In rape, it is. If you can imagine it
where hands roughly force the legs

But I would expect to see more.

I hope Costas isn't wasting his money.

No chance of that yet. The check he sent
me just bounced.

Could this mark on the thigh be made
just as easily during the original

in Jakarta?

In my opinion, it was made when she was
alive.

But apart from these marks, there's
little evidence of non -consensual sex.

I disagree.

There are small abrasions to the inside
of the vagina.

There are clear scratches both beside
and also on the labia.

Also evidence of tearing to the boulder.

Stephen's lawyer says neither of them
want to add anything to the statements

made at the time.

Not for their sperm samples.

Surprise, surprise.

These were taken about a week after the
party when they arrived back in Sydney.

That's Gwen Rogers, see?

How does a nice stewardess from
Weybridge get involved with them?

You don't know anything about women.

I don't understand why she's not been
called yet.

Well, she's trying to get out of
appearing.

Doctor's note, traumatic experience,
already made statements, blah, blah,

That's for... No!

She's the key to this. She knows.

We'll fight it.

Unfortunately, Greenaway doesn't like
us.

Is she being put under any pressure at
all?

Possible. She's put herself on best -ass
Sydney route so she can see McConnell.

Don't worry, Custers.

I'm going to get those bastards in court
if I have to drug them and put them on

a Qantas flight myself.

If someone were semi -conscious and
passive, might there be less bruising to

thighs as in this case?

Yes, possible.

Say if she'd been given what is commonly
known as a date -rape drug.

Like GHB.

Is there any evidence at all of this?
Well, there would be no evidence.

These drugs are notoriously difficult to
detect.

And therefore impossible to admit as
evidence.

Unless someone saw it being
administered.

Mr. Palmer, if and when we hear that
evidence, you can make that comment.

If the press benches will take note of
this.

It's been far too much sensationalizing
as it is.

The court must know that one of the
people at the party...

Craig Stevens, has a conviction in
Australia for possession of GHB. Mr

the point of this inquest is to find out
how the deceased died, not to apportion

blame or accuse someone who is not here
to defend himself.

I don't know why he isn't here to defend
himself.

Sit down, Mr Farmer, or I shall exclude
you from the court.

Well done.

That's revealed straight away.

In the, um...

Relevant questions, Mr Farmer?

No.

Wouldn't like to be excluded.

No more questions.

So where does all that get us?

We've flown a kite.

How far can you go before a reporter to
the bar council?

If I go that far, we're in trouble.

We need to find this Jimmy.

If he wasn't the other bloke, he can
clear himself of DNA.

Checklists of any crew that could have
been in Jakarta at the same time.

No Jameses, no Jimmy.

And we've tried nicknames.

No Grievers, no Carter, no White.

Why didn't you make more of the
fractured sternum?

Because I'm more interested in the
scratches on the outside of the thighs.

Miss Rogers, Costas Nicolaou, will you
help me, please?

I made a statement a long time ago.

There were 16 people at that party, and
nobody saw my daughter fall. How is that

possible? Leave me alone, please.

Are you trying to protect your
boyfriend? Maybe he was on a balcony

daughter, too.

Do you think I'd be with him if he was?

Are you bloody mad?

He was aiding and abetting rape.

Look, I feel sorry for you.

You saw Craig Stephens with my daughter,
didn't you?

Did he put something in her drink?

No!

This man is harassing me!

Okay, okay.

You come to me again, I'll call the
police.

Come to the inquest. Tell the truth
about my daughter.

Please.

Help me.

Please.

Shall I take your helmet?

Hello,

Dad.

Can't afford a car.

What are you having?

Half a lager.

Two malts, Winston.

You're sailing close to the wind in the
thing quest, aren't you?

I suppose your client's looking for a
verdict of unlawful killing.

The DPP won't start a murder trial for
anything less.

So, why am I here?

Thought about a pension.

Sorry?

Any investments.

You ought to have a decent sum put away
some day.

You'll never get a nice girl otherwise.

Thanks. I suppose you'd buy at the top
and sell at the bottom.

Actually, I've got a specialist broker.

It's rather good.

My pension's a bloody disaster. Who are
they?

It's just posh gambling, isn't it?

Come on.

I, uh, had dinner with an old pal in the
airline business.

They're all suffering on account of this
jihad lunatics.

Is this why you called me?

Obviously, what he told me was
confidential.

So you just want to have a drink with
me?

Anything negative about flight crew is
bad for business.

But they may be worrying about something
more than just a rowdy party.

Go on.

They have gone to the trouble of getting
a silk robin car.

Unusual for an inquest.

It's usually the riffraff.

Your lady suggests dinner tomorrow
evening.

Your local Italian?

Tell her I'm okay.

Yes, I see the bureau.

Come on, Mum.

Where's Costas? He can't be here.

He's with Amina.

Mr Nicolau, you have constantly ignored
the council's demands. When do you

propose to pay them? I have a problem,
madam. We know that, or you wouldn't be

here. My daughter was raped and
murdered.

Craig Stevens and Geoffrey McConnell
killed her. And when I have justice, I

pay.

After they pushed me out of the room, I
started to get worried about Sam.

So I thought the best way would be to
break the party up.

So I went to reception to complain, but
it didn't look like they were going to

do anything.

And you stayed in reception?

Well, no.

At one stage, I went to the house phone
near reception.

I phoned the concierge and pretended to
be someone else complaining.

Then I went up to the party again, and
this time security were there.

But Sam was gone.

No questions.

John Michael Saville.

John Michael, a .k .a. Jimmy.

Saville took over from a pilot who was
ill and flew a Best Air 747 into Jakarta

the day before the other crew.

He flew back to London three hours after
Sam's body was found.

Why wasn't he on the hotel register?

If they had a quick turnaround or if
they want to save money, Best Air crews

sometimes stay at a cheaper hotel near
the airport.

Anyway,

anyhow. Henry, I'm a barrister, I'm not
a runner.

Amina's not here today, I need to ID
him.

I'll get you an enclosure pass for
ascots.

I'll tell you where Amina's located.

Deal.

So what's going on?

I've cancelled the phone account.

Too much temptation, no live commentary.

Anyway,

I've got the stock market now, haven't
I? Thanks to Standard Rally and your

Uncle Ted. I'd like to buy him a drink
sometime.

Yeah, it's all right.

But he's in Africa most of the time.

Henry, you're probably in court.

I know I'm seeing you tomorrow night for
dinner, but I really advise you to get

your money away from Standard Rally.

If you can.

They're complete crooks.

Bye, Angel.

This book that's telling lies about me,
how do I get out of it?

You could nick the manuscript, Jack.

Comedy, Henry.

You'd have to ask either the author or
the publisher if you knew who they were.

I thought you knew.

Honestly, I haven't got clues writing
this book.

You meet them.

So careful.

Whatever was said about whatever
happened to Mancini was said by people

paid to say it by certain corrupt
officers, and I don't want anything

a book as a fact.

You can't break someone's legs for
writing a book, can you?

Would you get a brief and stuff them in
court, give them a taste of their own

medicine?

Don't trust the courts, Jack.

Lawyers work there.

We've got a reaction.

Been on the rolling news since six this
morning.

Yeah, I had sex with Samantha Nicolau.

She'd had a row with her boyfriend.

We were attracted to each other.

When I last saw her, she was alive.

I'm not in any way responsible for her
death.

You'll get them, Henry. They'll come.

Can I speak to Amina alone, Costas?

OK.

What's wrong?

We used your protection of the courts
and we forced them to answer.

And you got your answer.

Consensual sex.

Those who live by the media die by the
media.

I love this family, Henry.

I'd do anything for them. You've missed
your chance of getting any help from

Gwen Rogers.

She's just reported Costas for
harassment and the coroner's decided she

have to appear if she doesn't want to.
Fine.

Costas is obsessed.

I don't know how to control him.

We've got to win this battle in court,
not in the news of the world.

Hi, Charlie.

That's him.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I thought I was going mad.

I remember a girl in a red top, but
that's about all.

I told them at the time that I thought
that she'd gone home or gone out for a

wee swim.

And at no time did you hear... Anybody
cry out on the balcony? We were playing

music, and I think the balcony doors
were closed. They had a sort of

curtain thing.

I presume the balcony was the only
private place in your room for sex.

No, I... I didn't see any of that.

I do object to this. There's been no
suggestion from any of the witnesses

this party was an orgy.

There is forensic evidence that Samantha
had intercourse with two men. Doesn't

sound like the Vicarage Tea Party, does
it?

We have no evidence that the intercourse
took place at the party.

My learned friend clearly doesn't listen
to the news.

In any case, jury should ignore these
insinuations.

May I ask if you know Jimmy Savile?

Best air pilot.

John Savile. Flies 747s to Jakarta.
Nickname's Jimmy, isn't it?

What is the possible relevance of this?
We are trying to establish cause of

death. Thank you, Mr Carr. I know what
my job is.

Is this some sort of a joke, Mr Farmer?

On a par with the invisible and
undetectable dead rape drug?

Sir, I'm referring to the man referred
to in Charlie's... Mr Spiros' statement

as Jimmy, who was never traced and who I
believe may be an important witness.

Was John Saville at the party?

May I talk to my client for a moment?

I've got a photograph, if that's any
help to anyone.

Well done.

You stood close with me.

Thank you, sir.

How is the presence of this man relevant
to cause of death?

The only person whose movements are not
accounted for called himself Jimmy.

who we have heard invited the deceased
to the party.

Did you see a Captain Savile with the
deceased at the party?

No. Was he at the party?

If he was, I didn't notice him.

We've heard that your hotel room had
about 15 people in it.

I don't remember seeing him. I was
drunk.

I think Captain Savile had better be
summoned, if only to clear his good

Captain Saville is probably a long way
away.

He should be able to find an aeroplane
from somewhere.

Not seen your young lady recently, Mr
Farmer.

Everything all right?

She's the one for you.

Your moon's in Virgo.

And hers is banging Leo.

I can firm up the details if you give me
the exact times of day.

I was born at four in the afternoon.

Epping? Yes.

Mrs Graham came by stalk.

Dropped her on her head.

She was born in Ibiza.

She told me.

And her birthday's marked in your diary.

I told them you'd be here.

Why are you angry with me?

Costas doesn't need a barrister.

He needs a PR.

You're the man for me.

Trust me.

We can't be wrong going after Stevens,
can we?

Could this pilot have killed her?

It might explain why the crew are
covering up for him.

It would help us if Costas hadn't blown
her chance of getting Gwen Rogers into

court.

She might come if she's goosed.

Don't lean on her, please.

I know what I'm doing.

You're the best.

That's why I chose you.

I need you.

You've got to be careful here.

Thanks for dinner, Arthur.

For inviting me.

Well, the Baron had to go to Zurich and
I had a couple of lobster, so...

Turf Wars. A history of London gangs
since 1600.

Ruminology.

Subtitle, The Law and Punishment.

How's it going?

Nearly finished the first draft.

How are you doing?

We've adjourned for a couple of days.

Kicking my heels.

Your book.

Book? Oh, come on. I knew you were
lying.

You're like a schoolboy.

What are you writing?

It's Bracewell, not me.

Paul Bracewell? Yeah.

Oh. Well, he said it was you.

To all of us. You were there.

It's the whole world writing book.

Jack Delaney.

Ring a bell?

Got off for the Mancini killing.

Is he alive?

He's heard all the old tales are going
to re -clarifice.

He doesn't want the nasty stuff coming
out.

Well, what's he bothered about? He did
the world a favour.

Mancini was horrible.

Yeah.

Horrible enough to have his tongue cut
out and inserted in his rectum before he

bled to death.

I don't believe they ever found the
body, did they?

Is it going to figure in turf wars?

A small part of a long book.

But people would think I was inept if I
didn't mention it.

It's well known.

Not to his new wife, apparently.

Could stop the book.

The allegations are in the public
record.

And I'm a Queen's Counsel.

That's why I didn't warn you.

We've cracked it. We've got them.

No, we haven't.

If he's come all this way, they've got
an alibi.

You'd run that enough of a towel for me,
would you, Tim? No.

Oh.

Advocates are all different.

Mr Griffiths used to stalk them like a
hunter.

Mr Carmody would make them feel small.

What about Mr Farmer?

Oh, he's lovely.

Gives them a false sense of security.

Mrs Dean seduces them and then cuts
their throats.

Are you back to work early?

Finished already?

Oh, only first draft stage.

Publisher's reaction, very encouraging.

The words paperback and bestseller were
floated around.

I've had to turn away some very
lucrative business, miss.

I agree with the last Lord Chancellor
about one thing.

Greed. That's the problem with this
profession.

Oh.

We didn't all marry millionaires, did
we?

Cleo, would you cite R .C. Spratt in
Malicious Wounding?

It was a wild party, was it?

Everyone was out of it.

And you met the deceased there, did you?

Yeah. My mate Craig got off with her.

When was the last time you saw the
deceased alive?

Two -ish.

I left with Gwen, my girl, and Craig and
Samantha.

And we went down to the spa.

The pool had been drained, so we didn't
swim.

He's got to be lying.

Why?

Why would he come here and lie and risk
being exposed?

Sir, if this is true, it contradicts
almost everything we've heard.

How could she have fallen off the
balcony at 2 .07?

If it's true.

It's the first time my clients heard the
exact time of death. In the light of

this, we'd like an adjournment.

I've just been in the library tidying up
some research, and I get a text message

from my publisher.

This Delaney character slapped an
injunction on us.

Are you named?

No, but his lawyers want to read the
proof.

But they could hold it up indefinitely,
and I was hoping to have it out for

Christmas.

Why don't you just cut out the offending
passages?

Jack Delaney, a friend of yours, Henry.

Well, he drinks in my local...

Why did you want

to see me, Grace?

This is my father.

And this is my solicitor, Mr Craven.

It's all right, Paul. I want to be alone
for a minute.

Why did you send me those photographs of
Jeff McConnell and his wife?

Maybe someone's trying to tell you
something.

Did they look happy? They could have
been taken at any time.

Did McConnell and his friend Craig
Stevens threaten you?

That way you got a sickie.

Why is McConnell over here?

He came for Craig.

It's like an honour thing.

Childhood friends.

The girl's father.

I'm sorry for him. You reported him.

He scared me.

Costas Nicolaou is a decent man who's
lost his daughter.

It's your Aussie pals he should be
frightened of. They're dealers, Gwen.

they didn't kill her. You're wasting my
time. They can prove it. Who killed her?

I don't know.

When I saw her by the pool, she was
alive.

OK, Gwen.

Thank you.

What's in here?

Did he tell you about that?

Okay. I'm going.

You are John Saville and you are a pilot
working for Best Air, is that right?

Yes.

I met Samantha Nicolau at a party at the
Corona Hotel.

We talked on the balcony for
approximately half an hour.

I didn't consume any alcohol, nor did I
see her consume any, nor take any drugs.

When I left the party, she was alive.

I arrived at the Golf Hotel, close to
the airport, at 12 .45am.

I can prove this, if you wish.

I paid my bill at that time because I
was leaving fairly early in the morning.

I piloted a Best Air 747 which left
Jakarta at 9am for Gatwick Airport.

And I presume when you left you didn't
know what had happened to the deceased?

No. When the verdict of accidental death
was announced, I didn't feel it

necessary to come forward.

Thank you.

May I ask Mr Savile if he had sexual
intercourse with the deceased?

Mr Savile has made a true statement
which is relevant to all matters

cause of death.

He does not feel he needs to answer any
questions.

And particularly not that sort.

From what I've heard, I'm satisfied Mr
Savile can prove he was nowhere near

the deceased died.

And you are sailing close to the wind,
Mr Farmer.

May I ask if the deceased was incapable
when you had intercourse with her? Mr

Farmer... Ask him if we'll take a test.

No point.

Ask him, please.

Would Mr Saville be prepared to take a
DNA test?

My client does not wish to answer that
question. Nor does he have to.

Mr Farmer, I have told you I shall
report you, and that is what I am going

do.

What state was the deceased in when you
left by the swimming pool?

I won't say she was stone -cold sober,
but fine, you know.

She was sitting in a lounger. Did she
say what she was going to do?

Yeah. She wanted to find her boyfriend.

Thank you.

Mr. Carr?

Mr. Farmer?

Can I ask Mr. McConnell why he prevented
Charlie Spiros getting in the room?

His girl was screwing me, mate.

There was a big fella having fun too,
but I only saw his back.

Liar. Bloody liar.

Mr. Nicolau, you must be quiet.

Your friend raped her.

Rater! Mr. Farmer, if you can't control
your client, I will have him excluded

from the court for the rest of the
inquest.

I think I'm able to clear up an
important matter.

Don't you ever use your phone?

Standard Raleigh are shysters.

Don't be daft. They're regulated.

FSA is on the forms.

When you try to sell, they'll insist
that you buy Dodge shares and something

else. You haven't any certificates
because you've never owned any shares.

Are you all right?

I've got to be back in court.

I have a computer record of an order and
a statement from the food boy.

confirming he delivered meals to
Stephens' room on the ninth floor and

positively identifying both Mr McConnell
and Mr Stephens. The time, in my

opinion, makes it impossible for them to
have been anywhere near the deceased at

seven minutes past two.

I hope this will be a lesson to lawyers
who feel they can ride roughshod over

the rules of the inquest to make
unfounded accusations.

In the light of what we have heard, I
beg leave tomorrow to introduce some

photographic evidence, which I hope will
help the court.

I'm sorry.

This may complicate things.

I don't want complications.

I know she was raped.

And his coroner is as bad as a rapist.
He doesn't want the truth to come out.

How can we prove this ain't rape drug?
We can't.

Maybe she was a foolish girl with men.

But I loved her.

And I want her to be at peace.

I want the man who killed my daughter.

This is my mother.

You made a big deal of that inquest,
didn't you?

Got too close to your client.

Started to believe everything he told
you.

Grieving poor fellow.

Wanted to blame someone, anyone.

What cheered you up?

That investment firm of yours gave me
some good advice.

All my shares have rocketed.

Thinking of taking my winnings.

Yours not too good then?

Have you had any certificates?

I don't know, can't remember.

Why?

The position of the body, as indicated
by the Jakarta police, shows it directly

under the balcony of room 216.

If we look at this photograph of the
hotel, you'll see a drainpipe running

the outside of the building.

disappears behind a wall, and then
reappears at the base of the wall.

Now, if we look carefully at this
photograph of the body,

you'll see the drainpipe well to the
left of the deceased's head,

which will put the body directly under
the balcony of room 218.

How would you explain this?

I suggest Sam Nicolau didn't fall from
the balcony of room 216 at all.

That it was a false assumption made by
the Indonesian police and accepted by

everyone.

Including me.

These events in the past, Henry.

Not real.

Mythology. The icons of crime.

I'm sure Fred Mancini would agree with
you if he was alive.

Why had he gone to Paraguay?

Oh, not really in a flyover somewhere.

These authors.

They don't know nothing.

Some judge says someone's an evil
bastard and they believe him.

Example.

Alfie.

A gentleman.

Reputation undeserved.

There's only one sad event that didn't
mean to do him in either.

There were some friends of his who were
trying to straighten somebody out once

and I reckon they got a bit too far.

Know what I mean?

Cardiac arrest.

So, Alfie gives him the kiss of life and
ends up caving in his chest.

You alright, Henry?

So, who is this genius?

Tell me his name.

Oh, it's a she, actually.

I thought maybe I could arrange a
meeting.

Did you see the deceased leave the
party?

Yes.

She left with me and Craig Stevens and
McConnell.

And where did you go?

We went to the swimming pool, but it was
empty.

Craig and Jeff wanted something to eat.

I wanted to go to bed.

So we went upstairs together.

Sam didn't want to move.

We left her.

Was the deceased capable of walking?

She was a bit unsteady on her feet.

Who at the party suggested a swim?

Craig Stephens.

He kept saying, let's have a swim, and
then when we couldn't, he wanted

to take a shower, but she wouldn't.

Why did he want that?

I don't know.

Was he suggesting they go for a shower
together?

No.

Why did you bring that up, Gwen?

The shower.

Do you know why the police advise rape
victims not to take a shower?

However dirty they feel.

Okay. Yes.

Bodily fluids.

Bodily fluids.

Yes.

And in the deceased case, we know it was
the bodily fluids of two men.

What do you know?

What did you see?

I want... Go on.

I saw Craig Stevens put something in her
drink.

In the deceased's drink?

Yes. Are you sure? What did you see
exactly?

He had a tiny bottle and he emptied it
into a glass of Campari.

Then he took it out to her on the
balcony.

Henry, I'm really, really sorry about
Uncle Ted. Easy come, easy go. My father

always said he was a genius with money.

My dad was right.

We're there.

We will get Stevens and this pilot. The
DPP will order a trial. There's clear

evidence they weren't near Sam when she
received the blow to the head.

But this drug, this rape... Would have
been a factor, but there's something

else.

If I'm right, it may not be what you
want to hear.

Professor Krieger, you talked about the
absence of fractures to the arms and

legs in a fall from the second floor.

Yes, that is unusual.

Could the deceased's fatal injury have
been caused by falling backwards from a

lesser height?

Possibly. Say, into the deep end of an
empty swimming pool?

If force was involved, certainly.

A push?

Yes, that would add considerably to the
force of the blow. And after a certain

time, the heart would arrest?

Indeed, there would be a great deal of
bleeding and shock.

Could anyone get the heart going again?

People know about heart massage, but in
general they don't do the right thing.

They're too gentle, usually.

And the scratches on the thigh, you say,
could have been made by dragging the

body on concrete, like the concrete path
near to the pool where the body was

found. Yes.

Getting back to the heart, to get it
going again, you'd have to hit in the

place and hit hard.

Yes. Such a blow might easily fracture
the sternum.

Yes. And somebody with a medical
background would have the confidence to

Yes, a doctor or someone with proper
medical knowledge.

I'd like permission to recall a witness.

Why? The witness has given a statement
inconsistent with his evidence.

You loved Sam and you were going to
marry her, weren't you?

Yes. But you had a bit of an argument
that night about where you were going to

stay.

I'm referring to the statement you made
to the Jakarta police.

Not an argument.

A disagreement.

Which ended with Sam going on her own to
a party in one hotel and you going off

into the night to find another one,
right?

But I found a hotel and I went to the
party to get her.

And in the next half an hour, Sam
suffered the injury that led to her

Why did you change your story about what
happened in those 30 minutes?

I didn't.

You told the Jakarta police in the
statement I have here that you were in

reception the whole time.

Well, more or less.

You said in this court that you left
reception to make a phone call. Can you

explain that?

I was trying to give as full a picture
as possible.

But you didn't to the Jakarta police.

You do admit you changed your story?

No.

If you tell two different versions of
events, surely one of them must be

One is more complete.

Where were the public phones in the
hotel?

Can you remember?

Let me refresh your memory.

Here, in a back lobby between reception
and the swimming pool, so that anybody

in this area could see people going in
and coming out of the swimming pool.

Have you nearly qualified as a doctor,
Mr Spiros?

No.

Yes, but I...

Did you find Sam

in the swimming pool and try to revive
her?

No.

Did you have a row with the deceased by
the swimming pool? No, I didn't.

Did you push her into the empty pool?

No.

I didn't push her.

I wasn't there.

You're lying.

I know you are lying now.

Look at me, Mr.

Nicolau.

How could he live with his conscience if
he did that?

Because he's more scared of Costas
Nicolaou than he is of prison.

There are three possible verdicts.

Accidental death, unlawful killing, and
if you're not certain of either,

an open verdict.

What is the verdict of you all?

An open verdict.

What were you doing?

Did you screw him?

Did you?

God bless you.

Let's see.

Shitty, meaningless, wasteful.

With an end of sorts.

Cheers, Ross.

What exactly

is this party for, then?

Clear.

I'd like you to meet Jack Delaney.

How nice to meet you.

Aren't you?

You could say you could do any dream.

I'm trying to give this stuff away. I
can't believe it. It's the wrong video.

Professional misconduct.

Love at first sight.

Yeah, you should have told him she's a
silk.

How did you two get together?

He drinks in my local.

You all right?

Farmer and Paul Bracewell.

snake on the M25 and a dead lawyer?

snake.
