Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,349 --> 00:00:02,914
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:02,915 --> 00:00:05,265
the people are represented by
two separate
3
00:00:05,266 --> 00:00:06,875
yet equally
important groups.
4
00:00:06,876 --> 00:00:08,965
The police,
who investigate crime,
5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,055
and the Crown Prosecutors,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:12,403 --> 00:00:13,709
These are their stories.
7
00:00:21,151 --> 00:00:23,458
An hour, maybe two.
8
00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:29,072
Forty-three years of marriage.
It's not a lot to ask, hmm?
9
00:00:31,422 --> 00:00:34,599
Well, uh, the longer we argue
about it, the longer I'll be.
10
00:00:52,965 --> 00:00:55,098
Old geezer who dug it up
got quite a shock.
11
00:00:55,403 --> 00:00:57,230
Drinking tea with four
sugars in it
12
00:00:57,231 --> 00:00:58,622
while uniform
get his statement.
13
00:00:58,623 --> 00:01:01,017
All right, did you ever
have a metal detector?
14
00:01:01,278 --> 00:01:02,540
I had a pogo stick.
15
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:04,847
The metal detector kids
were the nerds.
16
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:08,154
I always fancied one but the
first Mrs. Brooks reckoned
17
00:01:08,155 --> 00:01:09,939
I had enough crap
without going looking for it.
18
00:01:14,161 --> 00:01:15,249
What you got, Joy?
19
00:01:16,859 --> 00:01:19,470
Male corpse, face down, wrapped
in the remnants of a sheet.
20
00:01:20,036 --> 00:01:23,170
Decomposition's pretty much
complete, mostly a skeleton,
21
00:01:23,561 --> 00:01:25,824
some remains of clothing
and footwear.
22
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:29,045
Oh, and a Swiss watch.
Still ticking.
23
00:01:32,222 --> 00:01:33,963
Must be what
set the detector off.
24
00:01:34,485 --> 00:01:36,051
How long's he been here, Joy?
25
00:01:36,052 --> 00:01:38,750
Rough guess?
Under ten years, over two.
26
00:01:39,447 --> 00:01:41,317
Any other clues as to his ID?
27
00:01:41,318 --> 00:01:43,145
Nope. Even his mouth's empty.
28
00:01:43,146 --> 00:01:44,364
Shattered around the sockets.
29
00:01:44,365 --> 00:01:45,888
Like his teeth
had been smashed out.
30
00:01:46,323 --> 00:01:48,759
So we've got no chance
of finding out who it is.
31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,111
No sign of them here, killer
knew what they were doing.
32
00:01:52,242 --> 00:01:53,590
So how was he killed?
33
00:01:53,591 --> 00:01:55,115
Single bullet
to the back of the skull.
34
00:01:55,593 --> 00:01:58,466
Entry wound, just above
the cervical vertebrae.
35
00:01:58,944 --> 00:01:59,902
There's the bullet.
36
00:02:01,338 --> 00:02:03,558
Right. One shot, back of
the head, very professional.
37
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:06,126
Well,
it's not a crime of passion.
38
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:08,998
It's an assassination.
39
00:02:54,565 --> 00:02:57,306
Colt 45 cartridge, that's a
single there are no links
40
00:02:57,307 --> 00:02:58,830
to any other shootings
or crime scenes.
41
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:00,788
Uh, the cartridge probably came
42
00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:02,572
from a Smith & Wesson gun
or similar.
43
00:03:02,573 --> 00:03:03,965
But we are running checks to see
44
00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:05,314
if there's any matches
or anything, okay?
45
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:07,448
But what about the body?
Any joy getting a name?
46
00:03:08,144 --> 00:03:09,405
I've run it through
missing persons.
47
00:03:09,406 --> 00:03:11,059
Cross-matched height, age, sex,
48
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:12,453
factoring in the clothes
he was wearing.
49
00:03:12,975 --> 00:03:14,758
Thirty-nine possible matches
50
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:16,586
for those missing
best part of a decade.
51
00:03:16,587 --> 00:03:20,200
Right. Nail his ID.
Your best lead is this watch.
52
00:03:20,939 --> 00:03:22,506
It's a classy
little timepiece that.
53
00:03:22,941 --> 00:03:25,466
Get it to a watchmaker,
see what secrets it yields.
54
00:03:27,859 --> 00:03:30,034
Uh, this brand,
55
00:03:30,035 --> 00:03:33,474
they all have a code.
Two letters and two digits.
56
00:03:34,083 --> 00:03:38,914
Now, the letters give you the
month, the digits give the year.
57
00:03:40,611 --> 00:03:46,573
Now, this was manufactured
in June 1978.
58
00:03:46,574 --> 00:03:48,966
Yeah, that's very good, sir, but
we was hoping you might be able
59
00:03:48,967 --> 00:03:50,881
to tell us who the owner
of the time piece was.
60
00:03:50,882 --> 00:03:52,492
Oh, yeah,
have patience, patience!
61
00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:54,799
You know what happens
when everything is a rush?
62
00:03:55,539 --> 00:03:56,410
No.
63
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:01,023
People accept shit.
64
00:04:02,546 --> 00:04:05,201
You take this
to the manufacturer,
65
00:04:06,071 --> 00:04:09,205
they have a register
of the owners.
66
00:04:12,077 --> 00:04:13,949
Oh, there's nothing
on the system.
67
00:04:15,298 --> 00:04:17,779
Do you know what? I bet
it's still in the paper files.
68
00:04:18,910 --> 00:04:20,781
I'm sorry, but the person who
did this job
69
00:04:20,782 --> 00:04:22,392
before me
wasn't very good.
70
00:04:23,306 --> 00:04:24,264
Just bear with me.
71
00:04:25,743 --> 00:04:27,397
What a lovely environment
to work in.
72
00:04:28,006 --> 00:04:31,271
Yeah, they've run out of space
in the office next door, so,
73
00:04:31,575 --> 00:04:32,663
they've stuck me in here.
74
00:04:33,969 --> 00:04:36,319
Ah, don't mind.
It's my first job out of Uni.
75
00:04:37,407 --> 00:04:38,495
What happens when it gets cold?
76
00:04:38,974 --> 00:04:40,062
I wear gloves.
77
00:04:43,065 --> 00:04:45,241
Ah, yes! Here it is!
78
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,071
Your watch is registered
to David Ackroyd.
79
00:04:51,943 --> 00:04:54,294
Post-mortem boys thought
you might like this.
80
00:04:55,382 --> 00:04:57,470
They pulled it out
of your male anon's leg.
81
00:04:57,471 --> 00:04:59,210
Give us a clue then, guv,
what is it?
82
00:04:59,211 --> 00:05:00,995
It's a pin from his knee,
must've been holding
83
00:05:00,996 --> 00:05:02,562
- whole thing together.
- Oh.
84
00:05:02,563 --> 00:05:05,826
And there is exactly one man
on the missing persons list
85
00:05:05,827 --> 00:05:07,741
with exactly the same
form of injury.
86
00:05:07,742 --> 00:05:09,699
Let me guess, David Ackroyd.
87
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,180
Forty-two,
matches height and clothes.
88
00:05:12,181 --> 00:05:13,834
Pin in his knee
from a car accident.
89
00:05:13,835 --> 00:05:15,749
Went missing Christmas Eve 1999.
90
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:18,926
Ackroyd's killer
is already in prison.
91
00:05:18,927 --> 00:05:21,058
- What?
- Ah, Luke Slade,
92
00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:25,020
tried and convicted of Ackroyd's
murder in the absence of a body.
93
00:05:25,629 --> 00:05:27,327
James Steel ran the case.
94
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:31,896
David Ackroyd is survived
by a daughter.
95
00:05:34,159 --> 00:05:35,987
I was 14 when Dad disappeared.
96
00:05:37,119 --> 00:05:38,772
Even when they accused Slade
of his murder
97
00:05:38,773 --> 00:05:40,122
I still never believed it.
98
00:05:41,123 --> 00:05:43,037
But I always thought, you know,
99
00:05:43,038 --> 00:05:44,953
without a body,
there was still a chance.
100
00:05:48,826 --> 00:05:49,914
What about your mum?
101
00:05:51,176 --> 00:05:53,004
Um, she died last year.
102
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,354
It was cancer.
103
00:05:55,529 --> 00:05:58,706
Ever since Dad went,
she was... broken.
104
00:06:03,145 --> 00:06:04,625
I got the house and the car.
105
00:06:06,453 --> 00:06:09,107
Here I am, rattling around
by myself in my parents' house.
106
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:13,198
I don't want any of it.
I just want them.
107
00:06:16,898 --> 00:06:17,768
Must be tough.
108
00:06:19,422 --> 00:06:21,381
Yeah, I mean, anniversaries and
birthdays, they're the worst.
109
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:25,515
But, you know the barrister
at the CPS, James?
110
00:06:25,863 --> 00:06:27,516
Oh yeah, James Steel, yeah.
111
00:06:27,517 --> 00:06:30,259
Yeah, well, every year, on the
anniversary, he sends a card.
112
00:06:30,999 --> 00:06:32,870
Just seeing how I'm doing.
113
00:06:37,484 --> 00:06:40,922
So, was Dad's body where they
said, under a building site?
114
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:45,405
Um, no.
115
00:06:46,623 --> 00:06:47,841
Your father was found just
across the water
116
00:06:47,842 --> 00:06:49,365
from Canary Wharf, by the dome.
117
00:06:50,497 --> 00:06:52,324
But how could his body be there, uh?
118
00:06:53,325 --> 00:06:54,414
I don't understand.
119
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:57,112
That doesn't make any sense.
120
00:07:00,071 --> 00:07:01,029
She's right.
121
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:03,291
If that is Ackroyd's body,
122
00:07:03,292 --> 00:07:05,119
a big hole just opened up
in the middle of this case.
123
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,427
James Steel got a conviction
without a body.
124
00:07:07,818 --> 00:07:09,819
The whole case was hinged
on evidence
125
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:11,734
given by one of Slade's
accomplices, Richie Newman.
126
00:07:11,735 --> 00:07:14,128
Newman said that he and Slade
buried Ackroyd's body
127
00:07:14,129 --> 00:07:15,217
on a building site in Chelsea.
128
00:07:16,653 --> 00:07:17,871
Well, then how come
it gets found seven miles away?
129
00:07:17,872 --> 00:07:19,568
What's in the files
on the murder weapon?
130
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:21,744
Because if the bullet
in David Ackroyd's skull
131
00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:24,618
matches the weapon that Luke
Slade used, it's still workable.
132
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:25,880
No.
133
00:07:27,011 --> 00:07:28,578
No, cause according to Richie
Newman,
134
00:07:29,274 --> 00:07:32,277
Slade cut Ackroyd's
throat with a knife.
135
00:07:33,017 --> 00:07:34,236
Weapon was never found.
136
00:07:35,803 --> 00:07:37,805
You pull one thread and the
whole thing comes unraveled.
137
00:07:38,545 --> 00:07:40,242
Find Richie Newman.
He's the key.
138
00:07:40,895 --> 00:07:43,026
You don't reckon CPS
got it wrong, do you?
139
00:07:43,027 --> 00:07:44,855
Well, don't get ahead
of yourself, mate.
140
00:07:45,552 --> 00:07:47,510
Hindsight makes things
look very simple.
141
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:50,774
If I knew nine years ago
what I know now...
142
00:07:51,558 --> 00:07:52,515
Yeah, what?
143
00:07:53,995 --> 00:07:55,778
Well, I'd still be too stupid
to do anything about it.
144
00:07:55,779 --> 00:07:57,128
Thank you, Confucius.
145
00:07:58,652 --> 00:08:00,349
- Thank you.
- Richie Newman?
146
00:08:01,698 --> 00:08:02,612
Who wants to know?
147
00:08:03,744 --> 00:08:05,136
We are the
Ghosts of Christmas Past.
148
00:08:09,314 --> 00:08:12,274
Seriously,
we buried him in Chelsea.
149
00:08:13,623 --> 00:08:15,624
Then why couldn't you lead
the police to
150
00:08:15,625 --> 00:08:17,191
the exact spot at the time?
151
00:08:17,192 --> 00:08:19,280
It was the middle of the night,
not my manor.
152
00:08:19,281 --> 00:08:23,893
Richie, you also said
that Slade cut Ackroyd's throat.
153
00:08:23,894 --> 00:08:24,895
So?
154
00:08:25,374 --> 00:08:26,767
He died of a bullet to the head.
155
00:08:31,946 --> 00:08:33,208
That's not what Slade told me.
156
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:35,471
You sure about that, Richie?
157
00:08:37,038 --> 00:08:38,648
Because even after
all this time,
158
00:08:39,214 --> 00:08:41,521
the CPS could change their mind
about charging you.
159
00:08:41,782 --> 00:08:43,609
Especially if they find out
you've been lying.
160
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:46,743
I'm telling the truth. I wasn't
there when Slade killed him.
161
00:08:47,439 --> 00:08:49,789
Time I got there, the body
was wrapped up in a sheet.
162
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:53,620
I am telling you what Slade told
me. You've got to believe me.
163
00:08:54,969 --> 00:08:59,060
Slade did it. You've got to
make sure he stays inside.
164
00:08:59,974 --> 00:09:02,933
If he gets out,
then I'd be a dead man.
165
00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:06,850
Promise me
that ain't gonna happen.
166
00:09:08,635 --> 00:09:11,027
Look at Newman's face,
he's absolutely bricking it
167
00:09:11,028 --> 00:09:12,247
at the thought of
Slade getting out.
168
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:14,205
Well, maybe because he lied.
169
00:09:15,511 --> 00:09:16,381
No.
170
00:09:17,687 --> 00:09:19,122
I've been through those files
a hundred times.
171
00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:20,515
Slade embezzles,
172
00:09:20,516 --> 00:09:22,953
Ackroyd finds out
and don't like it and vanishes.
173
00:09:23,214 --> 00:09:25,172
Everything points
to Slade being the killer.
174
00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:26,740
- Absolutely everything.
- Either way,
175
00:09:27,044 --> 00:09:29,569
your man Newman is
not exactly a five-star witness.
176
00:09:30,091 --> 00:09:31,744
- Well...
- No, no,
177
00:09:31,745 --> 00:09:33,398
thanks for
letting us know anyway.
178
00:09:34,008 --> 00:09:34,922
Bye.
179
00:09:36,097 --> 00:09:37,925
The dominos are toppling,
I'm afraid.
180
00:09:39,143 --> 00:09:42,145
Criminal Cases Review Commission
has referred Luke Slade's case
181
00:09:42,146 --> 00:09:43,539
back to the Court of Appeal.
182
00:09:44,061 --> 00:09:46,107
Potential
miscarriage of justice.
183
00:09:47,717 --> 00:09:48,762
He could go free.
184
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,380
Hey, you didn't have
to bring these over yourselves.
185
00:09:59,381 --> 00:10:02,078
Well, listen, we've both
been through the files.
186
00:10:02,079 --> 00:10:03,558
We've read the statements and--
187
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,779
Slade did it. Weight of evidence
is way too strong.
188
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:08,216
And just 'cause
he's got an appeal,
189
00:10:08,695 --> 00:10:10,521
doesn't mean to say
he's innocent, does it, James?
190
00:10:10,522 --> 00:10:12,699
So, don't let him
wriggle out of it.
191
00:10:14,396 --> 00:10:15,832
I'll do my best, I promise.
192
00:10:20,097 --> 00:10:23,666
You need anything,
you just call us. yeah?
193
00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:06,143
James Steel. Senior
Crown Prosecutor for London.
194
00:11:06,491 --> 00:11:07,492
How are you?
195
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,801
Thank you, Jared.
196
00:11:12,976 --> 00:11:15,587
We haven't met.
My loss. Luke Slade.
197
00:11:15,936 --> 00:11:17,937
Oh, Alesha Phillips.
198
00:11:17,938 --> 00:11:19,156
Uh, what are you doing out here?
199
00:11:20,592 --> 00:11:22,377
I discovered in prison
that I really like smoking.
200
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:23,986
Something to thank you for.
201
00:11:23,987 --> 00:11:26,163
Unless I get cancer,
then I'd have to sue you.
202
00:11:26,598 --> 00:11:27,599
Where's your barrister?
203
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,342
I'm representing myself.
204
00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:33,257
At the Court of Appeal?
205
00:11:34,868 --> 00:11:37,000
I spent the last eight
years with time on my hands.
206
00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:40,482
So I studied the law.
207
00:11:44,138 --> 00:11:47,489
How's your wife? Um, what are
you, separated or divorced?
208
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,670
This is a murder case.
209
00:11:55,976 --> 00:11:56,977
You should have a barrister.
210
00:11:58,152 --> 00:11:59,543
The judge can delay the case
211
00:11:59,544 --> 00:12:00,849
while you find someone
to represent you.
212
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:02,504
Honestly, I'm fine.
213
00:12:03,113 --> 00:12:04,245
Thank you, though.
214
00:12:06,421 --> 00:12:08,553
Hmm. There we go.
215
00:12:09,293 --> 00:12:10,251
Come on, Jared!
216
00:12:11,034 --> 00:12:11,905
Shall we?
217
00:12:28,922 --> 00:12:32,360
I thank my Lords for
allowing me to represent myself.
218
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,493
As set out
in my skeletal argument,
219
00:12:35,972 --> 00:12:38,147
my appeal is brought as new
evidence has
220
00:12:38,148 --> 00:12:40,411
cast doubt
on significant aspects
221
00:12:40,716 --> 00:12:42,762
of the Crown's original case.
222
00:12:43,371 --> 00:12:47,200
You're referring to the
discovery of Mr. Ackroyd's body.
223
00:12:47,201 --> 00:12:48,724
Exactly that, my Lord.
224
00:12:49,464 --> 00:12:52,248
And in support I am relying
upon the authority
225
00:12:52,249 --> 00:12:55,339
of Crown and Anderson, 2005.
226
00:12:55,775 --> 00:13:00,388
At 98 Criminal Appeal Reports,
My Lords, page 207,
227
00:13:01,215 --> 00:13:02,564
which I'm sure you all know.
228
00:13:04,044 --> 00:13:06,654
In that case, both convictions
were quashed
229
00:13:06,655 --> 00:13:08,525
when the Crown's main witness
230
00:13:08,526 --> 00:13:10,919
was found to have
given false evidence.
231
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,399
Is it your submission
232
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,707
that the Crown relied on
evidence they knew to be false?
233
00:13:16,186 --> 00:13:17,666
Not knowingly, My Lord.
234
00:13:18,928 --> 00:13:20,799
But the discovery of
Mr. Ackroyd's
235
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,887
body has established
236
00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:23,541
that neither the cause of death
237
00:13:24,064 --> 00:13:26,630
nor the place of
burial, as advanced
238
00:13:26,631 --> 00:13:29,243
in the original case,
were correct.
239
00:13:30,026 --> 00:13:33,724
I further rely upon Mitchell
and Her Majesty's Advocate,
240
00:13:33,725 --> 00:13:37,991
1996, one Scottish Law Review,
page 982,
241
00:13:38,252 --> 00:13:40,209
in which it was
found on appeal that,
242
00:13:40,210 --> 00:13:43,430
quote, "Significant evidence
unavailable
243
00:13:43,431 --> 00:13:47,042
at the original trial would have
had a material bearing
244
00:13:47,043 --> 00:13:48,784
on the jury's determination."
245
00:13:50,655 --> 00:13:52,266
Thank you, Mr. Slade.
246
00:13:52,701 --> 00:13:55,269
You've clearly researched
your territory well.
247
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:57,967
Thank you, My Lord.
248
00:14:03,059 --> 00:14:06,671
David was an adored husband
and Dad.
249
00:14:09,674 --> 00:14:12,808
Luke Slade defrauded him out of
millions and then murdered him.
250
00:14:14,157 --> 00:14:16,812
Even now he's been convicted
of David's murder,
251
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:18,944
he refuses to tell us
252
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:21,034
where David's body
can be found.
253
00:14:23,471 --> 00:14:24,775
This trial has been
an enormous burden...
254
00:14:24,776 --> 00:14:27,214
- You need sleep.
- ...for myself and my daughter,
255
00:14:28,171 --> 00:14:31,217
but I'd like to record
my overwhelming gratitude
256
00:14:31,218 --> 00:14:32,784
to the Crown
Prosecution Service
257
00:14:33,481 --> 00:14:35,135
and in particular
James Steel.
258
00:14:35,657 --> 00:14:38,051
- Oh, my God, is that you?
- Yup.
259
00:14:38,573 --> 00:14:40,008
No telling me
how much younger I look.
260
00:14:43,143 --> 00:14:44,535
You sure you're all right
with it all?
261
00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:48,844
This was my first case.
262
00:14:49,584 --> 00:14:51,673
Uh, when I came to the CPS.
263
00:14:52,282 --> 00:14:54,154
It was my first prosecution.
264
00:14:56,765 --> 00:14:57,897
Oh, look at me.
265
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:00,421
God, I look so...
266
00:15:02,292 --> 00:15:03,859
certain of everything.
267
00:15:07,297 --> 00:15:09,386
What if I was wrong, Alesha?
268
00:15:10,997 --> 00:15:13,521
What if the real murderer's
still out there?
269
00:15:14,391 --> 00:15:20,658
James, Slade is guilty. Everyone
who's read the file agrees.
270
00:15:25,576 --> 00:15:28,318
It's late. You need to rest.
271
00:15:30,407 --> 00:15:31,321
Soon.
272
00:15:53,256 --> 00:15:54,691
I refer my Lords to the
273
00:15:54,692 --> 00:15:57,303
authority of Crown
and Ramos 2002,
274
00:15:57,304 --> 00:15:58,739
in which it was found the
275
00:15:58,740 --> 00:16:00,959
cumulative weight
of the original case
276
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,353
outweighed doubts
about a single component.
277
00:16:03,614 --> 00:16:06,051
The issue is whether the Crown's
278
00:16:06,052 --> 00:16:08,271
case relied on
perjured evidence.
279
00:16:08,793 --> 00:16:10,970
Mr. Newman did not lie.
280
00:16:11,535 --> 00:16:14,625
He reported what Mr. Slade told
him about the cause of death.
281
00:16:15,235 --> 00:16:18,585
If this were
to render the conviction unsafe,
282
00:16:18,586 --> 00:16:22,329
it would reward Mr. Slade
for lying to Mr. Newman.
283
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:25,418
But Mr. Newman was also wrong
about the burial site.
284
00:16:25,419 --> 00:16:28,464
Which casts doubt
on his credibility as a witness.
285
00:16:28,465 --> 00:16:31,512
My Lord, Mr. Newman was
present at the original burial.
286
00:16:32,078 --> 00:16:33,730
The Crown now argues that
287
00:16:33,731 --> 00:16:35,994
Mr. Ackroyd's corpse
must have been moved,
288
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:37,735
shortly after
its initial burial.
289
00:16:38,084 --> 00:16:39,388
For what purpose?
290
00:16:39,389 --> 00:16:42,000
Because Mr. Slade feared that
291
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:44,003
Mr. Newman might confess
what they'd done together.
292
00:16:44,916 --> 00:16:48,615
Therefore, the Crown now argues
that rather than undermine
293
00:16:48,616 --> 00:16:50,051
Mr. Newman's credibility,
294
00:16:50,052 --> 00:16:52,836
this new discovery casts further
295
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:54,883
doubt on the
defendant's character.
296
00:16:56,493 --> 00:16:59,322
That's your theory, Mr. Steel.
297
00:16:59,627 --> 00:17:02,238
Do you have any evidence
to support it?
298
00:17:05,372 --> 00:17:08,157
Not at this stage, My Lord.
299
00:17:09,463 --> 00:17:14,207
So this is precisely the issue
that a re-trial might explore.
300
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:40,537
They've agreed with Slade.
301
00:17:41,930 --> 00:17:43,844
His conviction's
been overturned.
302
00:17:43,845 --> 00:17:45,194
They've granted him bail.
303
00:17:47,805 --> 00:17:49,677
They can't do that.
304
00:17:51,592 --> 00:17:53,941
- I'm sorry, James.
- It's fine.
305
00:17:53,942 --> 00:17:55,509
I'm fine.
306
00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:56,814
Today is not about me.
307
00:17:58,425 --> 00:18:00,079
Today is about David Ackroyd.
308
00:18:01,471 --> 00:18:02,472
I loved David.
309
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:05,649
He was like
an older brother to me.
310
00:18:07,695 --> 00:18:10,219
Like everyone else,
I was heartbroken by his death.
311
00:18:11,655 --> 00:18:15,703
Because of mistakes made by
the Crown Prosecution Service,
312
00:18:16,486 --> 00:18:18,793
David's murderer's
still walking free somewhere.
313
00:18:21,448 --> 00:18:24,190
I look forward to proving
my innocence at my retrial.
314
00:18:24,755 --> 00:18:25,887
Thank you.
315
00:18:39,074 --> 00:18:40,597
I forgive you, Mr. Steel.
316
00:18:47,387 --> 00:18:48,388
Mr. Steel.
317
00:18:56,265 --> 00:18:58,485
Do you think they're
together now? Mum and Dad.
318
00:19:00,008 --> 00:19:02,663
I mean, do you believe in that?
God and the afterlife?
319
00:19:04,795 --> 00:19:06,101
I need evidence.
320
00:19:08,930 --> 00:19:09,931
You sound like Dad.
321
00:19:12,194 --> 00:19:14,501
I let you down, at the appeal.
322
00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:23,379
Oh my God.
323
00:19:28,123 --> 00:19:29,124
What are you doing here?
324
00:19:30,386 --> 00:19:31,213
It was
the first thing I had to do.
325
00:19:32,258 --> 00:19:33,389
Pay my respects.
326
00:19:35,913 --> 00:19:39,134
Louise...
I know this is difficult.
327
00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:45,184
But I wanted to say this to you,
your Dad was a great man.
328
00:19:46,707 --> 00:19:49,971
I will make it my life's work
to find his killer
329
00:19:50,841 --> 00:19:53,017
- and to bring them to justice.
- Get away from her.
330
00:19:56,325 --> 00:19:57,718
Too many people have failed you.
331
00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:00,373
I won't be one of them.
332
00:20:05,813 --> 00:20:09,338
I mean it. I will make things
right for you.
333
00:20:18,565 --> 00:20:20,175
- Are you okay?
- Don't touch me!
334
00:20:21,568 --> 00:20:23,221
How is that allowed to happen?
335
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,179
What, he killed my dad
and he can just stand there
336
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:26,311
and say that to me.
337
00:20:26,312 --> 00:20:28,138
- I'm so sorry.
- Sorry is not enough!
338
00:20:28,139 --> 00:20:29,923
He's right, you failed me.
339
00:20:29,924 --> 00:20:31,230
You failed my Dad.
340
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,023
We have to prove the case all
over again and this case
341
00:20:43,024 --> 00:20:45,112
must not fail. Understand?
342
00:20:45,113 --> 00:20:47,245
We need all
the original signed statements.
343
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,464
You'll want another look
at the forensic analysis.
344
00:20:49,465 --> 00:20:51,510
Techniques have moved on
since the first trial.
345
00:20:51,511 --> 00:20:53,033
And I suppose you want us
to track down
346
00:20:53,034 --> 00:20:54,122
all the original witnesses.
347
00:20:54,340 --> 00:20:55,254
Read my mind.
348
00:20:56,646 --> 00:20:58,344
That's nine years,
they could be anywhere by now.
349
00:20:58,605 --> 00:20:59,475
We're relying on you.
350
00:21:01,129 --> 00:21:02,261
I'm not having Louise Ackroyd
watch her Dad's killer go free.
351
00:21:03,349 --> 00:21:04,436
Slade was one of them
352
00:21:04,437 --> 00:21:06,002
- venture capitalists.
- Get me one.
353
00:21:06,003 --> 00:21:07,396
I've never quite worked out
what them people do anyway.
354
00:21:08,528 --> 00:21:10,790
So Slade and Ackroyd,
they were involved in this what?
355
00:21:10,791 --> 00:21:12,661
Late nineties dot com boom?
356
00:21:12,662 --> 00:21:14,620
Basically that was their game,
they was investing
357
00:21:14,621 --> 00:21:15,883
in internet start-ups,
358
00:21:16,144 --> 00:21:17,884
hoping one was gonna become
successful
359
00:21:17,885 --> 00:21:19,278
they just
make a shed-load of bread.
360
00:21:19,539 --> 00:21:20,540
So what went wrong?
361
00:21:21,932 --> 00:21:23,804
What always goes wrong
in deals like that. Greed.
362
00:21:26,197 --> 00:21:27,546
Uh, you and Luke Slade
363
00:21:27,547 --> 00:21:29,374
were an item for a while
after university?
364
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:31,941
I'm nobody's item, detective.
365
00:21:31,942 --> 00:21:34,510
No, 'course not, sorry.
Um, you had a relationship.
366
00:21:34,815 --> 00:21:35,945
On and off.
367
00:21:35,946 --> 00:21:37,425
In the end, I got sick
of always being
368
00:21:37,426 --> 00:21:39,210
second on
Luke's to-do list.
369
00:21:39,472 --> 00:21:41,777
Did you ever stay
in touch with David Ackroyd?
370
00:21:41,778 --> 00:21:43,693
No.
Thank you.
371
00:21:43,998 --> 00:21:44,868
I wish I had.
372
00:21:46,261 --> 00:21:48,568
I never realized,
but David was the real catch.
373
00:21:49,569 --> 00:21:51,004
I always thought Luke was the
374
00:21:51,005 --> 00:21:52,441
one worth paying attention to,
but...
375
00:21:53,486 --> 00:21:54,661
David was the better man.
376
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,446
His only weakness was he thought
Luke was going to make him rich.
377
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:01,798
Well, we all thought
that for a while. Hello?
378
00:22:04,888 --> 00:22:07,847
Okay, we've got two witnesses
living abroad, one dead
379
00:22:07,848 --> 00:22:09,457
and another couple who
can hardly remember
380
00:22:09,458 --> 00:22:10,633
the details of their story.
381
00:22:12,069 --> 00:22:13,418
If someone asked me
what I was up to nine years ago,
382
00:22:13,419 --> 00:22:14,897
I'm not sure
I'd have the full picture.
383
00:22:14,898 --> 00:22:17,030
Come on, boys,
we've gotta do better than this.
384
00:22:17,031 --> 00:22:19,163
Yes! How's this for better.
385
00:22:19,947 --> 00:22:21,295
Slade's girlfriend,
386
00:22:21,296 --> 00:22:22,992
made a statement to
the original investigation
387
00:22:22,993 --> 00:22:25,039
about her car
which Slade used to borrow.
388
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:27,040
Slade sold it for her
389
00:22:27,041 --> 00:22:29,522
a couple of days after
Ackroyd's disappearance.
390
00:22:30,044 --> 00:22:32,699
The original investigation never
managed to trace it. But I have.
391
00:22:33,613 --> 00:22:35,745
Slade could have used
the vehicle to move the body.
392
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:37,833
Maybe if we get it forensicated.
393
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:39,619
- Forensicate isn't a word!
- Forensicate isn't a word!
394
00:22:42,404 --> 00:22:45,494
You'll like this.
It's all about the dirt.
395
00:22:46,452 --> 00:22:48,453
Now first off, particles of dirt
396
00:22:48,454 --> 00:22:50,412
we found on
David Ackroyd's remains
397
00:22:50,673 --> 00:22:53,154
match the pedological profile
of the Chelsea area.
398
00:22:54,155 --> 00:22:56,331
- Pedological?
- Soil.
399
00:22:56,592 --> 00:22:57,766
- Oh, okay.
- Okay.
400
00:22:57,767 --> 00:22:59,552
So Newman was telling the truth.
401
00:22:59,987 --> 00:23:02,249
They did bury
David Ackroyd in Chelsea.
402
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:03,642
Exactly.
403
00:23:03,643 --> 00:23:05,687
What, so the soil
is not the same at Canary Wharf?
404
00:23:05,688 --> 00:23:07,994
Well, it's similar,
it's not identical.
405
00:23:07,995 --> 00:23:10,431
Chelsea is predominantly
brick earth.
406
00:23:10,432 --> 00:23:13,261
Out east you've got sand
and gravel terraces.
407
00:23:13,522 --> 00:23:15,871
You see now,
the girlfriend's car,
408
00:23:15,872 --> 00:23:18,396
amazing assortment
of specimens in that vehicle.
409
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:21,835
We've got sand from two beaches,
uh, probably in Norfolk,
410
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:25,621
uh, traces of
assorted human detritus.
411
00:23:25,969 --> 00:23:29,190
Mostly exfoliated skin and
the parasites that feed on it.
412
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:32,149
Stuff you might find
in your mattress.
413
00:23:32,933 --> 00:23:35,631
- Not in my mattress.
- My point being,
414
00:23:36,327 --> 00:23:39,112
fiber traces found in the boot
match the sheet
415
00:23:39,113 --> 00:23:41,245
in which David Ackroyd's
body was found.
416
00:23:41,507 --> 00:23:43,247
Mixed in with both body
and sheet.
417
00:23:44,118 --> 00:23:45,467
Particles of Chelsea soil.
418
00:23:46,381 --> 00:23:49,514
Okay, so Ackroyd's buried in
Chelsea, dug up again
419
00:23:49,515 --> 00:23:51,472
and moved across town in a car.
420
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:53,822
In a car that Slade
had access to.
421
00:23:53,823 --> 00:23:54,868
Well done, Teddy!
422
00:23:59,263 --> 00:24:00,568
Appeals are one thing,
423
00:24:00,569 --> 00:24:02,352
but the rough and tumble
of a full murder trial
424
00:24:02,353 --> 00:24:03,398
is quite another.
425
00:24:03,659 --> 00:24:05,268
I don't want you
going easy on him.
426
00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:08,664
George, I have done this before.
I'll treat him with respect.
427
00:24:08,969 --> 00:24:10,797
And I shan't patronize him.
428
00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:13,494
I don't want the jury feeling
sympathetic
429
00:24:13,495 --> 00:24:14,495
'cause
he's inexperienced.
430
00:24:14,496 --> 00:24:16,019
You're not as daft as you look.
431
00:24:17,064 --> 00:24:18,457
But don't let him rattle you.
432
00:24:20,110 --> 00:24:22,677
You got it right in the first
trial, you'll get it right now.
433
00:24:22,678 --> 00:24:25,027
George, please,
if you start being nice to me,
434
00:24:25,028 --> 00:24:26,333
I'm not gonna be able
to concentrate
435
00:24:26,334 --> 00:24:27,552
for the rest of the day.
436
00:24:30,077 --> 00:24:31,557
Richie Newman's disappeared.
437
00:24:32,383 --> 00:24:33,427
How can he have?
438
00:24:33,428 --> 00:24:34,950
No one's seen him
for three days.
439
00:24:34,951 --> 00:24:36,778
The last charge on his
credit card was a one-way
440
00:24:36,779 --> 00:24:38,171
plane ticket to Thailand.
441
00:24:38,172 --> 00:24:39,825
Oh, beautiful,
442
00:24:39,826 --> 00:24:42,481
we've lost our main witness
and the trial starts in what?
443
00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:44,265
Thirteen minutes.
444
00:24:50,706 --> 00:24:52,533
My Lord, I have to ask
445
00:24:52,534 --> 00:24:54,840
for further time before
we swear the Jury.
446
00:24:54,841 --> 00:24:56,886
We're having difficulty locating
the first witness.
447
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,540
If the Court could
grant
448
00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:01,411
an adjournment of say,
two days--
449
00:25:01,412 --> 00:25:04,764
We keep to our dates
in this court, Mr. Steel.
450
00:25:05,286 --> 00:25:07,679
If one of your witnesses is
unavailable,
451
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,857
you'll have to
make a hearsay application
452
00:25:11,379 --> 00:25:13,729
to read his evidence instead.
453
00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:17,253
Sorry, My Lord,
but my retrial was granted
454
00:25:17,254 --> 00:25:18,864
on the basis of new evidence
455
00:25:18,865 --> 00:25:21,606
which contradicts
Mr. Newman's statement.
456
00:25:21,607 --> 00:25:23,912
The jury should be allowed
to make that judgment
457
00:25:23,913 --> 00:25:24,958
for themselves.
458
00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:28,003
Well, if I can't cross-examine
Mr. Newman,
459
00:25:28,004 --> 00:25:30,093
how can I
attack his credibility?
460
00:25:30,964 --> 00:25:32,226
Mr. Slade is right.
461
00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:34,662
Mr. Steel, your applications
462
00:25:34,663 --> 00:25:39,494
both for adjournment
and hearsay are refused.
463
00:25:39,842 --> 00:25:41,582
Unless you produce him,
464
00:25:41,583 --> 00:25:43,716
we shan't be hearing
from your witness.
465
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:49,764
Where the hell is he?
466
00:25:49,765 --> 00:25:51,070
How can a man
just disappear like that?
467
00:25:51,071 --> 00:25:52,419
Newman's gone off radar.
468
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,595
I've got uniform searching
known whereabouts,
469
00:25:54,596 --> 00:25:56,292
we've notified ports, airports,
470
00:25:56,293 --> 00:25:57,772
the full shebang,
but there's no sign.
471
00:25:57,773 --> 00:25:59,208
Then look harder.
472
00:25:59,209 --> 00:26:01,080
You heard what Ronnie said.
We've got people on it.
473
00:26:01,081 --> 00:26:02,516
Well, in the meantime,
474
00:26:02,517 --> 00:26:04,344
we need to find more
prosecution-friendly witnesses
475
00:26:04,345 --> 00:26:05,259
from Slade's past.
476
00:26:06,608 --> 00:26:07,043
Have you thought
about his cellmate?
477
00:26:11,831 --> 00:26:14,311
Did you enjoy
sharing a cell with Luke, Danny?
478
00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:16,531
Sladey's got you lot on the run,
hasn't he?
479
00:26:18,881 --> 00:26:20,490
What about other friends
in the prison?
480
00:26:20,491 --> 00:26:21,623
Did he have any of those?
481
00:26:22,145 --> 00:26:23,494
You're joking, aren't ya?
482
00:26:23,712 --> 00:26:25,496
Used to call him "the monk"
on the wing.
483
00:26:26,193 --> 00:26:27,889
Just sat there day in day out,
484
00:26:27,890 --> 00:26:30,326
reading his legal books,
making notes.
485
00:26:30,327 --> 00:26:32,633
When he did start to talk,
did he ever speak about
486
00:26:32,634 --> 00:26:34,418
David Ackroyd's murder?
487
00:26:34,984 --> 00:26:36,290
Well, he opened up
after a while.
488
00:26:39,467 --> 00:26:41,512
But see,
my problem is my memory.
489
00:26:43,471 --> 00:26:44,472
It's like a muscle.
490
00:26:45,038 --> 00:26:46,822
And in here,
it gets terrible flabby.
491
00:26:48,345 --> 00:26:49,519
Yous boys wouldn't have a cure
492
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,652
for something like that,
would ya?
493
00:26:52,175 --> 00:26:55,351
Well, maybe a move
to a classier nick, Dan.
494
00:26:55,352 --> 00:26:58,399
What about that?
Possible early release.
495
00:26:59,705 --> 00:27:01,009
Now, see, you're talking like
that,
496
00:27:01,010 --> 00:27:02,621
the old memories
are coming flooding back.
497
00:27:07,843 --> 00:27:10,453
When David found out Luke had
embezzled that much money,
498
00:27:10,454 --> 00:27:11,934
he went ballistic
499
00:27:12,761 --> 00:27:15,068
Left messages,
came round to the house.
500
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:18,637
How did Mr. Slade say he was
going to fix the problem?
501
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:21,857
When I asked, he just smiled.
502
00:27:22,771 --> 00:27:26,035
Luke could be cold and cruel.
503
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,777
He loved to play games
with people,
504
00:27:29,386 --> 00:27:31,301
loved to mess
with people's heads.
505
00:27:33,216 --> 00:27:34,653
Then I found his diary.
506
00:27:35,523 --> 00:27:37,393
He left it open on
the table one morning
507
00:27:37,394 --> 00:27:38,439
when he was staying at mine.
508
00:27:39,135 --> 00:27:40,659
Is this the diary?
509
00:27:44,445 --> 00:27:46,098
Yes.
510
00:27:46,099 --> 00:27:47,840
Could you please read it
for the benefit of the court?
511
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,627
Seven a.m., breakfast with Tony.
512
00:27:53,454 --> 00:27:56,675
One p.m. lunch
with Katie McCormack at Zilli's.
513
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,200
Nine p.m., kill David.
514
00:28:04,595 --> 00:28:05,596
No further questions.
515
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:10,689
Elena.
516
00:28:12,125 --> 00:28:15,127
- Sweetheart.
- Mr. Slade!
517
00:28:15,128 --> 00:28:16,390
I'm sorry, My Lord.
518
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:19,741
If I was so cold and cruel,
519
00:28:20,524 --> 00:28:23,092
why were you so upset
when our relationship ended?
520
00:28:24,441 --> 00:28:26,747
- I'm sorry?
- Didn't you send me hundreds
521
00:28:26,748 --> 00:28:29,228
- of abusive emails?
- My Lord, where is this going?
522
00:28:29,229 --> 00:28:31,970
I'm exploring Miss Adani's
motives for lying.
523
00:28:31,971 --> 00:28:34,800
Then explore them quickly,
Mr. Slade.
524
00:28:35,104 --> 00:28:38,804
January 23rd,"I'll make you
suffer, you shit,"
525
00:28:39,456 --> 00:28:40,457
February, the 4th,
526
00:28:40,806 --> 00:28:42,720
"I hope one day you experience
527
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:44,896
pain like the pain
I'm going through now."
528
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:46,549
This has nothing to do
with David's death!
529
00:28:46,550 --> 00:28:48,596
Offered as exhibits
to the court.
530
00:28:49,031 --> 00:28:51,251
Is this your revenge, Elena?
531
00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:53,993
Is this how you want
to make me suffer?
532
00:28:58,606 --> 00:29:00,694
Luke said that after he'd
done it, he'd got really nervous
533
00:29:00,695 --> 00:29:02,478
'cause he was worried
that Newman might squeal
534
00:29:02,479 --> 00:29:03,872
if he was
put under any pressure.
535
00:29:04,655 --> 00:29:06,875
So he moved the body out
to the East end, near the river.
536
00:29:07,354 --> 00:29:08,833
That way,
if Newman did say anything
537
00:29:08,834 --> 00:29:09,835
that it wouldn't matter.
538
00:29:14,535 --> 00:29:15,971
Oh, Danny.
539
00:29:18,147 --> 00:29:19,148
Danny boy.
540
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:23,935
Mr. Slade, questions, not songs.
541
00:29:23,936 --> 00:29:25,633
Of course, My Lord, sorry.
542
00:29:26,721 --> 00:29:28,461
When we shared a cell together,
543
00:29:28,462 --> 00:29:30,943
did you ever give evidence
in a court case?
544
00:29:33,075 --> 00:29:35,861
Yeah, yeah, I did, I turned QE.
545
00:29:36,383 --> 00:29:37,297
Why?
546
00:29:38,385 --> 00:29:39,212
Thought I'd get a transfer.
547
00:29:40,517 --> 00:29:42,040
And is it true you were
found to have
548
00:29:42,041 --> 00:29:43,477
given false evidence?
549
00:29:44,608 --> 00:29:48,308
Lied, essentially and
were later convicted of perjury?
550
00:29:53,487 --> 00:29:56,055
What can I say, Sladey?
You got me there
551
00:30:02,583 --> 00:30:06,673
Remind me who's the qualified
barrister and who's the novice!
552
00:30:06,674 --> 00:30:09,110
The charging officer never
logged Doyle's perjury charge
553
00:30:09,111 --> 00:30:10,329
on the PNC system.
554
00:30:10,330 --> 00:30:12,026
I'm not losing this trial
because of some
555
00:30:12,027 --> 00:30:13,419
administrative balls-up!
556
00:30:13,420 --> 00:30:15,116
No, you're losing because
your witnesses are
557
00:30:15,117 --> 00:30:16,378
an aggrieved ex-lover
558
00:30:16,379 --> 00:30:17,989
and a convicted perjurer!
559
00:30:17,990 --> 00:30:19,860
Slade's running rings
around you in there.
560
00:30:19,861 --> 00:30:21,122
Thanks for your support, George.
561
00:30:21,123 --> 00:30:22,994
Uh, maybe when they find
Slade innocent,
562
00:30:22,995 --> 00:30:24,169
I'll offer him your job!
563
00:30:24,170 --> 00:30:26,084
- You do that!
- Both of you, stop!
564
00:30:26,085 --> 00:30:28,609
It was one bad day.
We keep going.
565
00:30:29,915 --> 00:30:31,003
Together, yes?
566
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:44,973
The last time
I saw David Ackroyd,
567
00:30:46,235 --> 00:30:47,280
he was very drunk,
568
00:30:49,064 --> 00:30:49,935
very...
569
00:30:51,937 --> 00:30:53,112
very much alive...
570
00:30:55,201 --> 00:30:56,942
and heading to Mexico
for a holiday.
571
00:30:59,335 --> 00:31:01,598
I have no further questions
for myself.
572
00:31:11,043 --> 00:31:13,958
Have you ever put a note
573
00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:17,613
in your diary to kill anyone
other than David Ackroyd?
574
00:31:17,614 --> 00:31:20,095
It was a joke. I was annoyed.
575
00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:24,403
If I was really gonna kill him,
why would I write it down?
576
00:31:24,404 --> 00:31:26,666
If you didn't
kill David Ackroyd,
577
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:28,059
how do you explain the dirt
578
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:29,975
from Chelsea in the back
of the car you were using?
579
00:31:30,366 --> 00:31:32,629
I was buying
a new build flat in Chelsea.
580
00:31:33,195 --> 00:31:35,414
The developer took me round
the site
581
00:31:35,415 --> 00:31:37,155
and I changed
my shoes after the visit.
582
00:31:37,156 --> 00:31:40,071
Except the exact same dirt
583
00:31:40,072 --> 00:31:42,726
was found on the remains
of Mr. Ackroyd's body.
584
00:31:44,163 --> 00:31:45,380
Fibers from the sheet
585
00:31:45,381 --> 00:31:47,121
in which Mr. Ackroyd's body
was wrapped
586
00:31:47,122 --> 00:31:48,731
were also found in the back
of that car,
587
00:31:48,732 --> 00:31:50,168
weren't they,
Mr. Slade?
588
00:31:50,169 --> 00:31:52,648
Fibers from a range of
mass-produced cotton sheets
589
00:31:52,649 --> 00:31:53,650
sold in Debenhams.
590
00:31:54,869 --> 00:31:56,131
Two hundred thousand sets
sold each year.
591
00:31:57,089 --> 00:31:58,917
Elena had a set.
Didn't you, darling?
592
00:32:00,222 --> 00:32:02,615
And with all due respect,
Mr. Steel,
593
00:32:02,616 --> 00:32:04,138
that kind of dirt
must be present
594
00:32:04,139 --> 00:32:05,575
in most of Southwest London.
595
00:32:06,837 --> 00:32:10,972
If geology and Debenhams
are your best arguments,
596
00:32:12,104 --> 00:32:13,496
I think you may be floundering.
597
00:32:18,632 --> 00:32:21,416
Luke Slade wants you to think
he was the victim
598
00:32:21,417 --> 00:32:22,941
of a miscarriage of justice.
599
00:32:24,725 --> 00:32:30,122
The only victim in this case
is David Ackroyd.
600
00:32:32,254 --> 00:32:34,604
Don't fall
for Luke Slade's lies.
601
00:32:36,041 --> 00:32:37,303
Keep to the evidence
602
00:32:38,782 --> 00:32:42,264
and find Luke Slade guilty
of David Ackroyd's murder.
603
00:32:43,570 --> 00:32:47,966
First they convicted me of
cutting David Ackroyd's throat.
604
00:32:48,792 --> 00:32:50,533
He was killed
by a bullet in the head.
605
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,361
Then they claimed I buried him
in Chelsea.
606
00:32:53,362 --> 00:32:54,973
He was found by Canary Wharf.
607
00:32:55,625 --> 00:32:57,192
And what did they
offer as proof?
608
00:32:57,801 --> 00:33:00,456
Perjured evidence
from a proven liar.
609
00:33:01,370 --> 00:33:04,068
People assume that if you're
charged with a crime,
610
00:33:04,069 --> 00:33:05,200
you must be guilty.
611
00:33:06,245 --> 00:33:07,811
Assumptions like that...
612
00:33:09,422 --> 00:33:10,640
took my life away.
613
00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:16,255
Please,
let me live what's left of it.
614
00:33:45,545 --> 00:33:46,502
Good luck!
615
00:33:53,814 --> 00:33:55,119
Have you reached a
verdict upon
616
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,251
which you are all agreed?
617
00:33:56,904 --> 00:33:57,818
Yes.
618
00:33:59,254 --> 00:34:00,255
On the count of the
murder of David Ackroyd,
619
00:34:01,561 --> 00:34:03,650
do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty?
620
00:34:06,392 --> 00:34:07,741
- Not guilty.
- Oh.
621
00:34:33,897 --> 00:34:36,595
I've left Louise Ackroyd
five messages.
622
00:34:36,596 --> 00:34:37,901
She's avoiding my calls.
623
00:34:39,207 --> 00:34:40,817
She had faith in me, George.
624
00:34:41,383 --> 00:34:42,297
I still do.
625
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:46,127
Always will. Whatever happens.
626
00:34:51,263 --> 00:34:52,264
What does that mean?
627
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:57,181
Luke Slade has lodged
a formal complaint against you,
628
00:34:57,182 --> 00:34:58,705
alleging a vendetta.
629
00:34:59,358 --> 00:35:02,317
He's arguing that it amounts
to gross misconduct.
630
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,538
He wants you out of the CPS.
631
00:35:13,154 --> 00:35:15,199
This letter gives you
one week's notification
632
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,419
of your hearing date
for gross misconduct.
633
00:35:18,594 --> 00:35:19,595
Tell him the rest.
634
00:35:20,161 --> 00:35:22,031
You're entitled
to bring a friend
635
00:35:22,032 --> 00:35:24,251
or representative who can
address the hearing
636
00:35:24,252 --> 00:35:25,210
and put your case.
637
00:35:27,081 --> 00:35:29,605
Um, I'll be speaking for myself.
638
00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:32,303
We play by the rules, James.
639
00:35:32,304 --> 00:35:35,175
Disciplinary hearing,
carried out to the letter.
640
00:35:35,176 --> 00:35:37,744
So that when it is dismissed
as valueless bollocks,
641
00:35:38,048 --> 00:35:39,398
then he has no room to appeal.
642
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:43,358
I'm sorry. Pressure from above.
I've got no choice.
643
00:35:45,578 --> 00:35:47,928
You should stay home
pending the hearing.
644
00:35:51,845 --> 00:35:53,412
Slade won't win, James.
645
00:35:54,978 --> 00:35:56,284
He's done a good job so far.
646
00:36:13,127 --> 00:36:14,563
I'll see you when you get back.
647
00:36:20,047 --> 00:36:21,091
Don't you mean "if"?
648
00:36:35,584 --> 00:36:36,759
You need a hand with that?
649
00:36:38,544 --> 00:36:39,632
Are you following me?
650
00:36:40,894 --> 00:36:42,635
Do you know
what I admire about you, James?
651
00:36:43,810 --> 00:36:46,204
You won't ask me
to retract the complaint.
652
00:36:48,771 --> 00:36:49,990
Must be so difficult,
653
00:36:51,383 --> 00:36:52,688
having the system
you've worked for turn on you.
654
00:36:53,298 --> 00:36:55,474
But don't worry.
I can look after Louise.
655
00:36:57,171 --> 00:36:58,780
If you go near her again,
656
00:36:58,781 --> 00:37:01,262
- I will come for you.
- What's that? A threat?
657
00:37:02,002 --> 00:37:05,048
This is the problem. You've lost
all sense of what's right.
658
00:37:05,397 --> 00:37:07,007
You're an obsessive.
659
00:37:07,921 --> 00:37:09,270
Let it go, James.
660
00:37:10,619 --> 00:37:11,925
What were his last words?
661
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:15,450
This man that you loved so much?
662
00:37:16,582 --> 00:37:17,800
Did he beg you for mercy?
663
00:37:19,454 --> 00:37:21,021
Or didn't he even know it was
you who shot him from behind?
664
00:37:22,370 --> 00:37:24,981
How many bodies
must be buried in London?
665
00:37:26,113 --> 00:37:28,549
This city was built on corpses.
666
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:30,857
Why does this one
matter so much to you?
667
00:37:31,379 --> 00:37:33,468
They all matter!
668
00:37:35,601 --> 00:37:37,255
You really mean that.
669
00:37:38,212 --> 00:37:41,607
God, how do you manage...
670
00:37:42,608 --> 00:37:44,086
living with that conscience?
671
00:37:44,087 --> 00:37:46,264
Does it keep you awake?
I mean, literally. Does it?
672
00:37:47,308 --> 00:37:48,962
No more than yours must.
673
00:37:50,442 --> 00:37:51,660
We're not the same.
674
00:37:53,096 --> 00:37:56,622
You're an obsessed,
discredited man, out on his own.
675
00:37:57,231 --> 00:37:59,799
While I'm rehabilitated
into society.
676
00:38:01,235 --> 00:38:04,978
For a while, you were the only
person who got the better of me.
677
00:38:06,458 --> 00:38:07,459
Couldn't let that stand.
678
00:38:11,114 --> 00:38:12,202
This isn't finished!
679
00:38:15,118 --> 00:38:16,642
You think my complaint
won't stick?
680
00:38:18,339 --> 00:38:19,384
I'm not a beginner.
681
00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:21,951
Goodbye, James.
682
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,842
James, you shouldn't
be talking to him.
683
00:38:43,843 --> 00:38:45,323
I didn't have a choice.
684
00:38:46,411 --> 00:38:48,804
He was just... suddenly there.
685
00:38:49,065 --> 00:38:51,329
It doesn't matter,
you must not be seen with him.
686
00:38:54,593 --> 00:38:56,420
None of this would've happened
if Richie Newman
687
00:38:56,421 --> 00:38:57,465
hadn't disappeared.
688
00:38:57,770 --> 00:38:59,423
Why can't they find him?
689
00:38:59,424 --> 00:39:01,904
There's no charges on his credit
card since the day he vanished,
690
00:39:02,209 --> 00:39:04,690
no cash withdrawals,
here or in Thailand.
691
00:39:05,081 --> 00:39:08,346
Slade must've had something to
do with his disappearance.
692
00:39:10,609 --> 00:39:13,351
He wouldn't be so stupid
as to do anything himself.
693
00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:19,835
What?
694
00:39:21,446 --> 00:39:24,144
Nine years in prison, he'd know
plenty of people who could.
695
00:39:28,757 --> 00:39:31,369
What if we dig out
Slade's prison record.
696
00:39:33,196 --> 00:39:34,894
See if there's anything
interesting on it?
697
00:39:35,634 --> 00:39:37,375
When you say, "We"?
698
00:39:39,899 --> 00:39:40,900
I mean "We."
699
00:39:45,644 --> 00:39:47,689
If George hears I let you in,
he'll go mental.
700
00:39:48,734 --> 00:39:49,952
Just visiting a friend.
701
00:39:52,868 --> 00:39:53,782
Okay.
702
00:39:55,001 --> 00:39:57,219
So Slade's prison file is
mostly just a
703
00:39:57,220 --> 00:39:58,787
record of his parole hearings.
704
00:39:59,222 --> 00:40:00,223
All denied.
705
00:40:02,835 --> 00:40:04,489
Oh, wait.
706
00:40:04,837 --> 00:40:06,664
Says here that
Slade was involved in a
707
00:40:06,665 --> 00:40:08,144
complaint against
a prison officer.
708
00:40:08,841 --> 00:40:09,885
What do you mean involved?
709
00:40:10,538 --> 00:40:12,234
Well, he filed the complaint,
710
00:40:12,235 --> 00:40:13,976
but it was on behalf
of another prisoner.
711
00:40:15,369 --> 00:40:16,588
He said to me, in the street,
712
00:40:17,153 --> 00:40:18,545
that he wasn't
a beginner at this,
713
00:40:18,546 --> 00:40:20,374
that he'd filed complaints
before. Who was it for?
714
00:40:23,682 --> 00:40:24,596
Danny Doyle.
715
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:28,077
Slade's been ahead of us
the whole time.
716
00:40:29,078 --> 00:40:30,602
Then maybe our luck just turned.
717
00:40:32,821 --> 00:40:33,779
Thank you.
718
00:40:35,128 --> 00:40:36,216
What are friends for?
719
00:40:40,481 --> 00:40:42,569
God save me from
gala performances
720
00:40:42,570 --> 00:40:43,702
with the Home Secretary.
721
00:40:45,486 --> 00:40:46,965
George,
before you say anything--
722
00:40:46,966 --> 00:40:48,924
I'm still at the
Royal Opera House.
723
00:40:49,534 --> 00:40:50,970
Switch the light off
when you leave.
724
00:40:57,803 --> 00:40:58,847
Should you be here?
725
00:41:00,153 --> 00:41:01,023
I'm just another
prison visitor, Danny.
726
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:03,417
Seeing an old friend.
727
00:41:04,723 --> 00:41:05,898
He's getting to you, isn't he?
He does that.
728
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:09,641
You know what gets to me more?
729
00:41:11,338 --> 00:41:13,774
The thought of someone helping
a murderer go free.
730
00:41:13,775 --> 00:41:14,862
Now, look, come on--
731
00:41:14,863 --> 00:41:16,168
You knew Slade was aware
732
00:41:16,169 --> 00:41:17,605
you'd been convicted
for perjury.
733
00:41:17,997 --> 00:41:20,389
So whatever you said in court
wouldn't be admissible.
734
00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:24,003
I'm not being funny,
but I'm a con. I'm in prison.
735
00:41:25,308 --> 00:41:26,788
We're not known
for telling the truth.
736
00:41:28,268 --> 00:41:29,878
It's all just
water under the bridge.
737
00:41:32,402 --> 00:41:33,447
Not for me.
738
00:41:34,883 --> 00:41:36,668
I'll be at your
parole board next month.
739
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:39,279
And the one after that.
740
00:41:40,585 --> 00:41:42,020
And the one after that,
741
00:41:42,021 --> 00:41:44,414
reminding them of how you helped
a murderer go free.
742
00:41:50,203 --> 00:41:51,204
What do you want?
743
00:41:53,249 --> 00:41:54,599
Where do I find Richie Newman?
744
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:01,910
Look,
I had nothing to do with it.
745
00:42:02,955 --> 00:42:04,173
Parole board.
746
00:42:06,915 --> 00:42:08,047
Freddie Martin's.
747
00:42:10,963 --> 00:42:12,268
Slade called in a favor.
748
00:42:22,888 --> 00:42:25,891
Hello, squire.
Looking for Freddie Martin.
749
00:42:26,413 --> 00:42:28,110
Sorry, mate, can't help you out.
750
00:42:28,763 --> 00:42:29,634
Really?!
751
00:42:37,859 --> 00:42:38,860
Oi, Freddie!
752
00:42:40,601 --> 00:42:41,515
Ronnie!
753
00:42:52,482 --> 00:42:53,483
Hello, Freddie.
754
00:43:07,367 --> 00:43:10,370
Guess what, Freddie?
You don't have to say anything.
755
00:43:11,458 --> 00:43:13,590
But it may harm your defense
if you do not mention
756
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:16,289
when questioned something which
you later rely on in court.
757
00:43:24,819 --> 00:43:26,778
I tell you what, Freddie's
a professional, all right.
758
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,346
This gotta be the best place
in London to hide a body.
759
00:43:30,651 --> 00:43:32,392
Over here.
760
00:43:42,707 --> 00:43:43,751
Hello, Richie Newman.
761
00:44:06,687 --> 00:44:07,732
Morning, gents.
762
00:44:09,168 --> 00:44:10,169
Enjoying the day?
763
00:44:10,996 --> 00:44:11,997
We're about to.
764
00:44:26,751 --> 00:44:28,491
There seems
to have been a misunderstanding.
765
00:44:33,671 --> 00:44:38,676
Sworn statements from
Danny Doyle and Freddie Martin.
766
00:44:41,766 --> 00:44:42,810
What about?
767
00:44:43,593 --> 00:44:44,812
We found Richie Newman.
768
00:44:45,770 --> 00:44:46,771
How is he?
769
00:44:48,773 --> 00:44:50,949
You're never gonna stop,
are you?
770
00:44:53,342 --> 00:44:56,041
It ends here, with you
back in prison for murder.
771
00:44:59,522 --> 00:45:01,568
Oh, it's just
the end of round one.
772
00:45:03,657 --> 00:45:06,094
I've played it well,
don't you think?
773
00:45:08,662 --> 00:45:10,055
You think this is a game?
774
00:45:11,665 --> 00:45:12,971
Everything is.
775
00:45:17,149 --> 00:45:18,802
When the officer asks,
776
00:45:18,803 --> 00:45:22,110
you'll confess to the murders of
Richie Newman and David Ackroyd.
777
00:45:24,678 --> 00:45:26,027
Give his daughter some peace.
778
00:45:27,768 --> 00:45:29,639
Show some honor, finally.
779
00:45:33,426 --> 00:45:34,601
He's eight, isn't he?
780
00:45:35,950 --> 00:45:36,821
Ethan.
781
00:45:38,213 --> 00:45:39,388
Your little boy.
782
00:45:41,477 --> 00:45:44,088
Grateley Street, Edinburgh.
783
00:45:44,089 --> 00:45:45,438
Beautiful house they've got.
784
00:45:47,005 --> 00:45:51,226
But busy roads though...
on his walk to school.
785
00:46:08,853 --> 00:46:10,332
Goodbye, Mr. Slade.
786
00:46:15,511 --> 00:46:16,686
Where are you going?
787
00:46:18,253 --> 00:46:19,298
This isn't over yet!
788
00:46:21,256 --> 00:46:24,825
This is far from over,
Mr. Steel. Mr. Steel!
