1
00:01:50,124 --> 00:01:51,392
Ruth!

2
00:01:51,416 --> 00:01:52,416
Time to go!

3
00:01:53,499 --> 00:01:54,351
Ruth!

4
00:01:54,375 --> 00:01:57,017
Ruth, your mum wants you.

5
00:02:03,874 --> 00:02:05,725
He'll get yourself run
over going off like that.

6
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:06,916
He will not.

7
00:02:08,957 --> 00:02:10,975
Come on, Ruth, love,
your dad wants to get off.

8
00:02:10,999 --> 00:02:12,017
Hey, where are you going?

9
00:02:12,041 --> 00:02:13,850
Off to the cliffs to see my granddad.

10
00:02:13,874 --> 00:02:15,100
Can I go too?

11
00:02:15,124 --> 00:02:17,517
You ask your mother and I'll ask mine.

12
00:02:17,541 --> 00:02:18,558
Mommy?

13
00:02:18,582 --> 00:02:19,642
Mommy?

14
00:02:19,666 --> 00:02:21,142
Mommy?

15
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:22,183
Mom!

16
00:02:22,207 --> 00:02:23,017
Can I go down and play wit Ruth?

17
00:02:23,041 --> 00:02:23,892
You can go anywhere you like

18
00:02:23,916 --> 00:02:24,726
if you belter with that racket.

19
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:26,267
Have you been asked, Teddy?

20
00:02:26,291 --> 00:02:27,683
I will be in a minute.

21
00:02:27,707 --> 00:02:29,683
Oh, very well then.

22
00:02:29,707 --> 00:02:30,707
Thanks, Mom.

23
00:02:31,832 --> 00:02:32,808
Oh, great lump you're getting.

24
00:02:32,832 --> 00:02:33,832
Oh, Daddy.

25
00:02:36,041 --> 00:02:38,725
My dad says I can come to the
cliffs with you, Mr. Harris.

26
00:02:38,749 --> 00:02:39,558
Did he?

27
00:02:39,582 --> 00:02:40,582
All right, jump in then.

28
00:02:41,416 --> 00:02:43,767
Seems your Teddy is coming up
to the cliffs with out Ruth.

29
00:02:43,791 --> 00:02:45,183
Very kind of you, John.

30
00:02:45,207 --> 00:02:47,082
Hey, hey, my ball, I forgot it.

31
00:02:49,457 --> 00:02:50,957
- Here it is.
- Thanks, Mommy.

32
00:02:52,332 --> 00:02:53,541
Forget your head next.

33
00:02:56,874 --> 00:02:57,933
Now give our love to your granddad

34
00:02:57,957 --> 00:02:59,975
and tell him I'll be down
when done with the shopping.

35
00:02:59,999 --> 00:03:01,183
Be a good girl.

36
00:03:01,207 --> 00:03:03,433
I'll keep an eye on her, Mrs. Harris.

37
00:03:03,457 --> 00:03:04,457
- Bye.
- Bye, love.

38
00:03:23,249 --> 00:03:24,933
See you after work.

39
00:03:24,957 --> 00:03:25,957
Bye, bye, Daddy.

40
00:03:58,749 --> 00:03:59,558
All right, love?

41
00:03:59,582 --> 00:04:00,582
Smashing.

42
00:04:01,582 --> 00:04:03,017
I'll take this wood up to your granddad.

43
00:04:03,041 --> 00:04:04,767
Oh, I'll go up with it now.

44
00:04:04,791 --> 00:04:06,933
No, it doesn't matter,
you stay and enjoy yourself.

45
00:04:06,957 --> 00:04:08,517
I'll give you a shout when your dad comes.

46
00:04:08,541 --> 00:04:09,541
Okay, Mommy.

47
00:04:24,082 --> 00:04:25,100
Hello, son.

48
00:04:25,124 --> 00:04:26,166
Hello, Father.

49
00:04:27,041 --> 00:04:27,893
Where's Pat?

50
00:04:27,917 --> 00:04:29,433
She's down on the
beach with the children.

51
00:04:29,457 --> 00:04:30,892
A lot of driftwood came in last night.

52
00:04:30,916 --> 00:04:32,124
The getting some for me.

53
00:04:46,957 --> 00:04:48,225
Hey, that's my ball!

54
00:04:48,249 --> 00:04:49,850
Well, you could always swim for it.

55
00:04:49,874 --> 00:04:50,809
You swim!

56
00:04:50,833 --> 00:04:51,933
You kicked it in!

57
00:04:51,957 --> 00:04:53,475
She's afraid of the water.

58
00:04:53,499 --> 00:04:54,558
Go on, I dare you.

59
00:04:54,582 --> 00:04:55,582
Come on, Ruth.

60
00:04:58,166 --> 00:05:00,808
Teddy, honest, it doesn't matter.

61
00:05:00,832 --> 00:05:01,643
We'll take that boat there.

62
00:05:01,667 --> 00:05:03,350
Can we get it loose?

63
00:05:03,374 --> 00:05:04,374
We'll have a go.

64
00:05:30,457 --> 00:05:31,874
I can't see it.

65
00:05:35,166 --> 00:05:36,916
There, there it is.

66
00:05:40,916 --> 00:05:42,517
Well, I don't think
I'll climb that again.

67
00:05:42,541 --> 00:05:43,476
Thank you, Pat.

68
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:44,767
I've got a nice fire going.

69
00:05:44,791 --> 00:05:47,332
It'll be warm for you when
you come in for your tea.

70
00:05:50,249 --> 00:05:52,267
It's bleak for him living up here.

71
00:05:52,291 --> 00:05:53,850
I wish we could persuade
him to stay with us.

72
00:05:53,874 --> 00:05:56,082
Oh, he'd never leave,
he loves it up here.

73
00:05:57,416 --> 00:05:58,416
I know how he feels.

74
00:06:09,416 --> 00:06:10,416
John!

75
00:06:12,041 --> 00:06:12,851
They're going on the rocks!

76
00:06:12,875 --> 00:06:15,308
Get father, tell him to
get a boat out there quick.

77
00:06:15,332 --> 00:06:16,226
Dad!

78
00:06:27,832 --> 00:06:29,767
Daddy, Daddy!

79
00:06:29,791 --> 00:06:31,225
Daddy!

80
00:06:33,999 --> 00:06:35,350
Daddy!

81
00:06:40,957 --> 00:06:42,392
Daddy!

82
00:06:42,416 --> 00:06:43,416
Daddy!

83
00:06:57,291 --> 00:06:58,291
Daddy!

84
00:07:06,499 --> 00:07:07,499
Daddy!

85
00:07:08,416 --> 00:07:09,850
Daddy!

86
00:07:09,874 --> 00:07:14,874
Help!

87
00:07:15,624 --> 00:07:16,624
Help!

88
00:07:18,707 --> 00:07:19,933
Help!

89
00:07:23,374 --> 00:07:24,725
Daddy!

90
00:07:24,749 --> 00:07:25,999
Help!

91
00:07:27,874 --> 00:07:30,350
Hang on, Ruth, I'll come back!

92
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:36,683
Dad, come back, come back!

93
00:07:36,707 --> 00:07:37,892
Don't leave me!

94
00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:39,332
John, get Ruth!

95
00:07:40,332 --> 00:07:41,226
Ruth!

96
00:07:55,249 --> 00:07:58,332
Come back, Daddy, come back!

97
00:08:00,749 --> 00:08:01,726
Give him to me!

98
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:03,166
Get back to Ruth!

99
00:08:04,791 --> 00:08:05,707
We'll get as near as we can.

100
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:08,166
We can't go alongside,
they'll tear us to pieces.

101
00:08:59,207 --> 00:09:00,850
The boy's all right,
packed him off home.

102
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:01,684
Girl's parents here?

103
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:02,767
Yes, they're waiting.

104
00:09:02,791 --> 00:09:03,601
What are they like?

105
00:09:03,625 --> 00:09:04,767
Young, nice.

106
00:09:04,791 --> 00:09:06,517
He's a maintenance engineer at the pit.

107
00:09:06,541 --> 00:09:07,541
Uh-huh.

108
00:09:11,291 --> 00:09:12,725
Good evening.

109
00:09:12,749 --> 00:09:13,850
I'm Dr. Brown.

110
00:09:13,874 --> 00:09:14,808
How is she?

111
00:09:14,832 --> 00:09:15,643
How's Ruth?

112
00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:17,142
Is she in danger?

113
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:18,457
Please, tell us the truth.

114
00:09:19,332 --> 00:09:20,392
Your little girl is very ill.

115
00:09:20,416 --> 00:09:23,100
She has a haemoglobin
reading of only 30 percent.

116
00:09:23,124 --> 00:09:24,183
What does that mean?

117
00:09:24,207 --> 00:09:25,850
It means that she has less than half

118
00:09:25,874 --> 00:09:27,225
the amount of blood she ought to have.

119
00:09:27,249 --> 00:09:29,142
I'm afraid it severed an artery.

120
00:09:29,166 --> 00:09:31,808
Ruth is well below the
danger line, Mrs. Harris.

121
00:09:31,832 --> 00:09:33,600
What are you going to do?

122
00:09:33,624 --> 00:09:35,225
We're going to give her a
blood transfusion straight away.

123
00:09:35,249 --> 00:09:37,350
Fortunately, she belongs
to a common group.

124
00:09:37,374 --> 00:09:39,017
She'll be no trouble in that direction.

125
00:09:39,041 --> 00:09:40,100
Once the new blood begins to work,

126
00:09:40,124 --> 00:09:42,267
she'll pick up, be well
on my way to recovery.

127
00:09:42,291 --> 00:09:43,933
You know, it's astonishing
recuperative powers

128
00:09:43,957 --> 00:09:44,957
young children have.

129
00:09:46,374 --> 00:09:47,374
No.

130
00:09:50,207 --> 00:09:51,374
No, what, Mr. Harris?

131
00:09:53,332 --> 00:09:55,374
She mustn't have a blood transfusion.

132
00:09:57,791 --> 00:09:59,642
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

133
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:00,666
The child is dying.

134
00:10:01,874 --> 00:10:03,933
Yes, Mrs. Harris, dying.

135
00:10:03,957 --> 00:10:05,874
She needs red blood cells at once.

136
00:10:11,707 --> 00:10:14,541
But giving and taking of
blood is against our religion.

137
00:10:15,957 --> 00:10:17,558
Religion?

138
00:10:17,582 --> 00:10:18,518
What's religion got to do with it?

139
00:10:18,542 --> 00:10:20,791
A transfusion will save her life.

140
00:10:22,666 --> 00:10:25,600
It will deny her everlasting life.

141
00:10:25,624 --> 00:10:26,707
Everlast...

142
00:10:28,332 --> 00:10:29,416
A blood transfusion?

143
00:10:30,874 --> 00:10:33,392
It's against God's law.

144
00:10:33,416 --> 00:10:34,933
What law?

145
00:10:34,957 --> 00:10:36,308
There can't be any law that...

146
00:10:36,332 --> 00:10:39,624
"Whatsoever man eateth
any manner of blood,

147
00:10:40,624 --> 00:10:43,374
"I will set My face against that soul."

148
00:10:45,332 --> 00:10:47,475
That's just a legend, man.

149
00:10:47,499 --> 00:10:48,393
Thousands of years old,

150
00:10:48,417 --> 00:10:51,017
but we're not living in the Dark Ages now.

151
00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:53,541
God's word is as true
today as it was then.

152
00:10:55,332 --> 00:10:56,332
Mr. Har...

153
00:10:58,707 --> 00:11:00,267
Wait here, please.

154
00:11:04,082 --> 00:11:06,416
He said he could save her.

155
00:11:07,666 --> 00:11:09,499
You must see the choice for her.

156
00:11:10,499 --> 00:11:12,291
- I don't want to.
- You must.

157
00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:17,808
A momentary existence now or...

158
00:11:17,832 --> 00:11:20,124
Or the glory of eternal life with God.

159
00:11:21,916 --> 00:11:24,749
If we weaken, Pat, we destroy her.

160
00:11:33,582 --> 00:11:34,808
Richard!

161
00:11:34,832 --> 00:11:35,832
Richard!

162
00:11:37,541 --> 00:11:39,183
I've got one of these
religious cranks on my hands.

163
00:11:39,207 --> 00:11:41,142
Refuses to allow his child
to have a blood transfusion.

164
00:11:41,166 --> 00:11:42,808
If she doesn't get it,
she'll be dead in an hour.

165
00:11:42,832 --> 00:11:43,643
Can you come, please?

166
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:45,892
Oh, I wish I'd left
five minutes earlier.

167
00:12:03,082 --> 00:12:04,142
Good evening.

168
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:04,976
Evening.

169
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,308
This is Dr. Harvard, he's
just examined your daughter.

170
00:12:07,332 --> 00:12:08,767
Would you listen to him, please?

171
00:12:08,791 --> 00:12:10,808
Mr. Harris, I know
something about your faith

172
00:12:10,832 --> 00:12:13,600
and I'm fully aware of the
rule concerning transfusion

173
00:12:13,624 --> 00:12:15,517
but you've gotta think clearly now.

174
00:12:15,541 --> 00:12:17,267
Your daughter will die unless she receives

175
00:12:17,291 --> 00:12:19,225
immediate and proper attention.

176
00:12:19,249 --> 00:12:20,791
Dr. Brown just told us that.

177
00:12:21,957 --> 00:12:23,058
Oh, for heaven's sake, Harris.

178
00:12:23,082 --> 00:12:24,082
No.

179
00:12:25,166 --> 00:12:26,166
No.

180
00:12:27,041 --> 00:12:27,851
Are you going to be able to live

181
00:12:27,875 --> 00:12:29,267
with her death on your hands?

182
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:30,499
She's in God's hands.

183
00:12:35,541 --> 00:12:38,392
How old is your daughter, Mrs. Harris?

184
00:12:38,416 --> 00:12:39,642
Eight.

185
00:12:39,666 --> 00:12:41,933
Have you any other children?

186
00:12:41,957 --> 00:12:42,809
No.

187
00:12:42,833 --> 00:12:44,392
Do you at least understand
what is happening?

188
00:12:44,416 --> 00:12:45,850
Ruth is dying.

189
00:12:45,874 --> 00:12:47,350
Would you please try make your husband see

190
00:12:47,374 --> 00:12:50,207
that the Bible is not law in every word?

191
00:12:50,249 --> 00:12:51,332
It is for us.

192
00:12:59,832 --> 00:13:03,017
My husband speaks for both of us.

193
00:13:03,041 --> 00:13:05,558
That's it then, Jim,
the parents are agreed.

194
00:13:05,582 --> 00:13:07,225
We shall have to ask you
to sign a declaration

195
00:13:07,249 --> 00:13:09,975
taking full responsibility
for your decision.

196
00:13:09,999 --> 00:13:10,999
Yes.

197
00:13:13,749 --> 00:13:15,041
When will the crisis be?

198
00:13:16,832 --> 00:13:18,499
The crisis is now, Mrs. Harris.

199
00:13:22,999 --> 00:13:24,308
If you'll just sign here.

200
00:13:24,332 --> 00:13:27,142
It's a statement exonerating
the hospital from any blame

201
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:28,541
if the child dies.

202
00:13:31,916 --> 00:13:32,809
You should be in bed.

203
00:13:32,833 --> 00:13:34,683
You'll get pneumonia if
you hang about much longer

204
00:13:34,707 --> 00:13:36,600
in those wet clothes.

205
00:13:36,624 --> 00:13:38,308
There's nothing you can do here.

206
00:13:38,332 --> 00:13:40,832
We'll let you know immediately
if there's any change.

207
00:13:41,832 --> 00:13:43,124
May we see her?

208
00:13:43,957 --> 00:13:45,082
Yes, of course.

209
00:14:02,249 --> 00:14:04,142
There isn't much time.

210
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:05,166
I'll ask again.

211
00:14:06,041 --> 00:14:07,433
Will you allow me to give the transfusion?

212
00:14:07,457 --> 00:14:08,725
He's already signed.

213
00:14:08,749 --> 00:14:10,041
He can change his mind.

214
00:14:11,041 --> 00:14:12,041
No.

215
00:14:12,999 --> 00:14:13,999
Please.

216
00:14:14,916 --> 00:14:15,916
No!

217
00:14:19,916 --> 00:14:20,999
You'd better go now.

218
00:15:01,207 --> 00:15:02,207
Jim?

219
00:15:04,041 --> 00:15:06,767
You can't do it, Harris
has signed the paper.

220
00:15:06,791 --> 00:15:08,600
You'll lay yourself open
to a charge of assault.

221
00:15:08,624 --> 00:15:09,434
The hospital too.

222
00:15:09,458 --> 00:15:11,850
Got a call through to
Marshall, he's the chief.

223
00:15:11,874 --> 00:15:14,017
If he'll risk the hospital,
I'll risk the assault charge.

224
00:15:14,041 --> 00:15:15,749
I just want to be ready, that's all.

225
00:15:18,582 --> 00:15:20,142
Why doesn't he ring?

226
00:15:20,166 --> 00:15:21,517
Take it easy.

227
00:15:21,541 --> 00:15:22,541
Easy?

228
00:15:23,499 --> 00:15:25,249
Whole thing's so stupid, I could...

229
00:15:26,957 --> 00:15:28,183
We're doctors, aren't we?

230
00:15:28,207 --> 00:15:29,267
We're supposed to make any decisions

231
00:15:29,291 --> 00:15:31,558
we think are right for
a patient, aren't we?

232
00:15:31,582 --> 00:15:33,267
When it comes to an operation

233
00:15:33,291 --> 00:15:36,267
or transfusion to save a child's life,

234
00:15:36,291 --> 00:15:37,433
do we make the decisions then?

235
00:15:37,457 --> 00:15:39,392
Do we do what we know is right?

236
00:15:39,416 --> 00:15:40,600
No, we don't

237
00:15:40,624 --> 00:15:42,225
because we have to have
the consent of some crank

238
00:15:42,249 --> 00:15:45,142
or halfwit who happens
to be the child's father.

239
00:15:45,166 --> 00:15:47,392
Be thankful it doesn't
happen more often.

240
00:15:47,416 --> 00:15:50,975
That's a great comfort, it's
happening now to this child.

241
00:15:50,999 --> 00:15:52,166
Your call, Dr. Brown.

242
00:15:57,124 --> 00:15:58,018
Leave me alone for 10 minutes,

243
00:15:58,042 --> 00:15:59,558
she's have a blood transfusion, all right.

244
00:15:59,582 --> 00:16:01,017
Rules are not made for nothing, nurse,

245
00:16:01,041 --> 00:16:02,767
especially in a hospital.

246
00:16:02,791 --> 00:16:04,267
She's so young.

247
00:16:04,291 --> 00:16:07,100
That's why her parents
make the decisions.

248
00:16:07,124 --> 00:16:08,124
We're helpless.

249
00:16:08,874 --> 00:16:09,874
Oh, it's awful.

250
00:16:14,999 --> 00:16:15,809
Well?

251
00:16:15,833 --> 00:16:18,225
Marshall's on his way to
a meeting in New Castle.

252
00:16:18,249 --> 00:16:19,059
Blast.

253
00:16:19,083 --> 00:16:20,267
He arrives in half an hour.

254
00:16:20,291 --> 00:16:22,392
His wife's getting in
touch with him right away.

255
00:16:22,416 --> 00:16:23,268
Did you tell her?

256
00:16:23,292 --> 00:16:24,808
She'll leave a message
for him to contact me

257
00:16:24,832 --> 00:16:25,916
as soon as he arrives.

258
00:16:27,207 --> 00:16:28,249
Half an hour.

259
00:16:29,499 --> 00:16:30,725
Well, too late.

260
00:16:30,749 --> 00:16:31,933
No!

261
00:16:31,957 --> 00:16:33,933
Not without Marshall's consent.

262
00:16:33,957 --> 00:16:34,809
Go home, Richard.

263
00:16:34,833 --> 00:16:35,892
Sorry?

264
00:16:35,916 --> 00:16:36,893
The child's my patient.

265
00:16:36,917 --> 00:16:39,142
The hospital's my responsibility.

266
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:40,225
What are you talking about?

267
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:42,308
I'm senior to you,
Jim, and I'm telling you,

268
00:16:42,332 --> 00:16:43,999
we're going to wait for Marshall.

269
00:16:45,874 --> 00:16:47,541
It's no good looking at me like that.

270
00:16:48,499 --> 00:16:49,850
If there'd been the slightest sign

271
00:16:49,874 --> 00:16:52,017
of weakening in the father, I'd chance it.

272
00:16:52,041 --> 00:16:53,041
But there wasn't!

273
00:16:54,124 --> 00:16:55,933
Harris was adamant.

274
00:16:55,957 --> 00:16:56,957
Yeah,

275
00:16:58,957 --> 00:17:00,041
he was adamant.

276
00:17:17,832 --> 00:17:19,142
What's going to happen, Doctor?

277
00:17:19,166 --> 00:17:21,100
We're waiting for Mr. Marshall to call.

278
00:17:21,124 --> 00:17:22,207
How long do we wait?

279
00:17:24,957 --> 00:17:26,582
Just as long as she's alive, sister.

280
00:18:01,457 --> 00:18:03,350
You better change your clothes.

281
00:18:03,374 --> 00:18:04,749
You'll be ill if you don't.

282
00:18:08,916 --> 00:18:10,124
Pat, listened to me.

283
00:18:11,457 --> 00:18:12,582
We're doing right.

284
00:18:15,416 --> 00:18:16,416
Look at me.

285
00:18:17,249 --> 00:18:19,225
In God's law there's no compromise.

286
00:18:19,249 --> 00:18:21,416
You have to go the
whole way or not at all.

287
00:18:22,916 --> 00:18:24,457
Ruth will be dead by morning.

288
00:18:26,416 --> 00:18:27,791
We don't know that.

289
00:18:29,791 --> 00:18:31,082
She's only eight.

290
00:18:34,041 --> 00:18:35,642
She's hardly lived.

291
00:18:41,332 --> 00:18:42,142
Don't.

292
00:18:42,166 --> 00:18:43,166
Please, don't.

293
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:48,017
I can't help it.

294
00:18:48,041 --> 00:18:49,725
If you tried to sleep now.

295
00:18:49,749 --> 00:18:50,749
Sleep?

296
00:18:55,207 --> 00:18:56,332
You ought to be in bed.

297
00:18:57,374 --> 00:18:59,017
You're shivering.

298
00:18:59,041 --> 00:19:00,166
I'll come up soon.

299
00:19:05,707 --> 00:19:08,225
Pat, I promise you, she...

300
00:19:08,249 --> 00:19:09,707
Ruth's going to be all right.

301
00:20:00,666 --> 00:20:01,850
I want to see Dr. Brown at once!

302
00:20:01,874 --> 00:20:02,725
What name, please, madam?

303
00:20:02,749 --> 00:20:03,600
Harris.

304
00:20:03,624 --> 00:20:04,600
Hurry!

305
00:20:04,624 --> 00:20:05,624
Please, hurry!

306
00:20:12,416 --> 00:20:13,832
Wait here, please.

307
00:20:28,707 --> 00:20:30,017
Give the transfusion.

308
00:20:30,041 --> 00:20:32,041
Please, give the transfusion now!

309
00:21:03,874 --> 00:21:04,874
Thank you.

310
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:31,957
Where have you been?

311
00:21:33,041 --> 00:21:34,166
Back to the hospital.

312
00:21:35,249 --> 00:21:36,249
Ruth's dead.

313
00:21:38,291 --> 00:21:39,725
She...

314
00:21:39,749 --> 00:21:41,308
She...

315
00:21:41,332 --> 00:21:42,332
She can't be.

316
00:21:43,457 --> 00:21:44,457
She's dead.

317
00:21:47,832 --> 00:21:48,916
I saw her die.

318
00:21:50,541 --> 00:21:51,541
No.

319
00:21:54,332 --> 00:21:55,791
I saw Ruth die.

320
00:22:15,374 --> 00:22:16,933
I hope we're not too early.

321
00:22:16,957 --> 00:22:17,768
Well, they're up.

322
00:22:17,792 --> 00:22:19,267
Saw the lights on earlier.

323
00:22:19,291 --> 00:22:21,975
Aye.

324
00:22:27,791 --> 00:22:28,933
- Morning, John.
- We want to come in, John,

325
00:22:28,957 --> 00:22:32,683
but we couldn't go another
minute without saying thank you.

326
00:22:32,707 --> 00:22:34,392
Well, you know, you can't
say thank you really,

327
00:22:34,416 --> 00:22:35,624
- it's not enough.
- Hmm.

328
00:22:36,457 --> 00:22:37,933
Well,

329
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:39,183
you know what you did for Teddy.

330
00:22:39,207 --> 00:22:40,683
Saved his life.

331
00:22:40,707 --> 00:22:41,517
Yes, that's it.

332
00:22:41,541 --> 00:22:42,351
He's a bit down now,

333
00:22:42,375 --> 00:22:45,100
but the doctor says he'll
be right as rain in a week.

334
00:22:45,124 --> 00:22:46,767
We've come to thank your husband, Pat.

335
00:22:46,791 --> 00:22:48,142
He's a brave man.

336
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:49,558
How's Ruth, love?

337
00:22:49,582 --> 00:22:50,850
Ruth's dead.

338
00:22:52,124 --> 00:22:53,558
Dead?

339
00:22:53,582 --> 00:22:54,666
She's what?

340
00:22:56,332 --> 00:22:58,166
If you'll excuse us.

341
00:23:31,167 --> 00:23:32,916
Come in.

342
00:23:35,749 --> 00:23:37,374
Morning, sir.

343
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:39,058
Morning, James.

344
00:23:39,082 --> 00:23:39,893
Sorry you had such trouble

345
00:23:39,917 --> 00:23:42,142
trying to track me down last night.

346
00:23:42,166 --> 00:23:43,475
Sad business about that little girl,

347
00:23:43,499 --> 00:23:45,058
but you mustn't feel responsible.

348
00:23:45,082 --> 00:23:46,933
I couldn't have gone against the parents.

349
00:23:46,957 --> 00:23:49,183
I've asked for a postmortem.

350
00:23:49,207 --> 00:23:50,475
Why?

351
00:23:50,499 --> 00:23:52,600
There'll be an inquest,
isn't that sufficient?

352
00:23:52,624 --> 00:23:53,434
No, sir.

353
00:23:53,458 --> 00:23:55,558
A postmortem will show that
she died from lack of blood,

354
00:23:55,582 --> 00:23:56,683
which I could have given her.

355
00:23:56,707 --> 00:23:58,892
I watched her die knowing
I could have saved her.

356
00:23:58,916 --> 00:24:00,374
Now that shouldn't be hidden.

357
00:24:01,332 --> 00:24:04,267
It's a bitter tragedy, I agree, but...

358
00:24:04,291 --> 00:24:05,933
It was murder, he killed her.

359
00:24:05,957 --> 00:24:08,683
Oh, now, now, just a moment, James.

360
00:24:08,707 --> 00:24:11,100
You've lost your sense of proportion.

361
00:24:11,124 --> 00:24:11,934
Have second thoughts about.

362
00:24:11,958 --> 00:24:13,475
I've had them all through last night.

363
00:24:13,499 --> 00:24:16,183
Plain superstition and
bigotry killed that child.

364
00:24:16,207 --> 00:24:18,475
That's your opinion and
you're entitled to it.

365
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:19,808
But people like Harris believe in

366
00:24:19,832 --> 00:24:22,457
the literal word of the Bible
and they're entitled to that.

367
00:24:22,499 --> 00:24:23,291
Entitled to what?

368
00:24:23,332 --> 00:24:24,725
Entitled to kill?

369
00:24:24,749 --> 00:24:26,558
Oh, be sensible, it's hardly Killing.

370
00:24:26,582 --> 00:24:27,725
What is it then?

371
00:24:27,749 --> 00:24:28,749
Their misfortune.

372
00:24:29,666 --> 00:24:30,808
They have their own beliefs.

373
00:24:30,832 --> 00:24:32,142
It's no good having a set of beliefs

374
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:34,433
if you're going to throw
away the inconvenient ones.

375
00:24:34,457 --> 00:24:35,392
Beliefs?

376
00:24:35,416 --> 00:24:36,226
Insanities.

377
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:38,725
Harris is a walking example
for some other fanatic

378
00:24:38,749 --> 00:24:40,225
to go and do the same thing elsewhere.

379
00:24:40,249 --> 00:24:42,058
I'm not going to let him quietly bury her.

380
00:24:42,082 --> 00:24:43,392
Harris was within his rights

381
00:24:43,416 --> 00:24:46,808
to refuse a blood transfusion,
there's nothing you can do!

382
00:24:46,832 --> 00:24:48,600
Aren't these people suffering enough?

383
00:24:48,624 --> 00:24:49,434
Perhaps if you had a wife

384
00:24:49,458 --> 00:24:50,933
you'd realise how Mrs.
Harris must be feeling.

385
00:24:50,957 --> 00:24:53,957
Oh, I know how Mrs. Harris
feels all right, in her heart.

386
00:24:54,957 --> 00:24:57,457
She feels exactly the same as I do.

387
00:25:20,416 --> 00:25:22,517
It's true, Father.

388
00:25:22,541 --> 00:25:23,541
She's dead.

389
00:25:24,916 --> 00:25:25,916
Ruth's dead.

390
00:25:28,291 --> 00:25:30,933
Can't grasp it.

391
00:25:30,957 --> 00:25:32,124
I just can't grasp it.

392
00:25:34,124 --> 00:25:35,124
Ruthie.

393
00:25:36,874 --> 00:25:37,957
- Ruth.
- Mommy.

394
00:25:47,457 --> 00:25:48,642
Well, I...

395
00:25:48,666 --> 00:25:50,041
What can I say?

396
00:25:51,749 --> 00:25:53,041
Come and sit down, John.

397
00:25:53,999 --> 00:25:55,725
I'll get you a drink.

398
00:25:55,749 --> 00:25:56,749
You look done in.

399
00:25:58,916 --> 00:26:00,041
Not just now, thanks.

400
00:26:01,249 --> 00:26:02,249
Pat?

401
00:26:03,499 --> 00:26:05,166
Will you come outside for a moment?

402
00:26:06,582 --> 00:26:07,582
What do you want?

403
00:26:09,832 --> 00:26:11,082
It's about the funeral.

404
00:26:12,207 --> 00:26:13,207
What is it?

405
00:26:15,416 --> 00:26:17,850
There's going to be an inquest.

406
00:26:17,874 --> 00:26:18,874
Postmortem.

407
00:26:19,749 --> 00:26:20,749
Oh my God, no.

408
00:26:22,082 --> 00:26:23,082
Why?

409
00:26:25,082 --> 00:26:27,541
Is it because of the
accident in the sea, John?

410
00:26:29,082 --> 00:26:30,642
No,

411
00:26:30,666 --> 00:26:31,666
it's not that.

412
00:26:36,916 --> 00:26:39,267
Its because Ruth needed
a blood transfusion

413
00:26:39,291 --> 00:26:41,499
and we refused to let her have one.

414
00:26:47,166 --> 00:26:50,267
Could Ruth have lived
with a blood transfusion?

415
00:26:50,291 --> 00:26:51,374
The doctor said yes.

416
00:27:01,499 --> 00:27:03,832
You psalm singing bastard!

417
00:27:07,666 --> 00:27:10,082
- That's enough!
- Come, John.

418
00:27:25,916 --> 00:27:28,017
I should have never let her marry him.

419
00:27:28,041 --> 00:27:29,933
You couldn't have stopped her.

420
00:27:29,957 --> 00:27:30,957
She wanted him.

421
00:27:32,041 --> 00:27:34,058
What sort of people are they?

422
00:27:34,082 --> 00:27:34,893
What sort of religion is it

423
00:27:34,917 --> 00:27:36,437
that'll take a child's life like that?

424
00:27:57,874 --> 00:27:59,457
Come inside, son.

425
00:28:02,624 --> 00:28:03,725
Father,

426
00:28:03,749 --> 00:28:04,749
tell me,

427
00:28:05,749 --> 00:28:07,350
what would you have done?

428
00:28:07,374 --> 00:28:10,933
I should have done what
my faith required of me.

429
00:28:10,957 --> 00:28:11,957
What you did.

430
00:28:14,082 --> 00:28:16,499
But you never had to
do such a thing, did you?

431
00:28:17,624 --> 00:28:19,433
You never had to say,

432
00:28:19,457 --> 00:28:20,933
"There,

433
00:28:20,957 --> 00:28:22,767
"there's my child.

434
00:28:22,791 --> 00:28:23,916
"Let him die."

435
00:28:24,832 --> 00:28:26,707
God never put me to that test.

436
00:28:27,666 --> 00:28:28,707
But if he had...

437
00:28:30,749 --> 00:28:34,058
You would've let me die,

438
00:28:34,082 --> 00:28:35,933
as I did Ruth?

439
00:28:35,957 --> 00:28:38,541
I would've asked myself,
why is this happening?

440
00:28:39,541 --> 00:28:41,124
What is God asking of me?

441
00:28:42,457 --> 00:28:43,517
And answered?

442
00:28:43,541 --> 00:28:45,475
That he wanted my child to grant it

443
00:28:45,499 --> 00:28:47,666
everlasting joy in his presence.

444
00:28:49,207 --> 00:28:51,017
I know how you feel.

445
00:28:51,041 --> 00:28:53,707
Ruth was my granddaughter, I loved her.

446
00:28:54,832 --> 00:28:57,183
I doubt myself, Father.

447
00:28:57,207 --> 00:28:59,475
I doubt myself for feeling as I do.

448
00:28:59,499 --> 00:29:01,725
What should, it was right, John.

449
00:29:01,749 --> 00:29:04,517
If you had answered "yes" to that doctor,

450
00:29:04,541 --> 00:29:07,558
Ruth's life would've ended on this earth.

451
00:29:07,582 --> 00:29:10,892
We know now that life
is only a preparation

452
00:29:10,916 --> 00:29:13,517
and that the best comes after

453
00:29:13,541 --> 00:29:16,124
and you made sure that Ruth had the best.

454
00:29:18,749 --> 00:29:20,433
It all sounds so simple said like that.

455
00:29:20,457 --> 00:29:23,933
We've set ourselves a hard
task to live by God's word

456
00:29:23,957 --> 00:29:25,374
and never deviate.

457
00:29:26,291 --> 00:29:30,100
My grandfather taught me
the strength of our faith

458
00:29:30,124 --> 00:29:31,707
and I've taught it to you.

459
00:29:32,791 --> 00:29:34,082
And who have I to teach?

460
00:29:35,457 --> 00:29:36,808
Who?

461
00:29:53,332 --> 00:29:54,143
♪ B-I-N-G-O ♪

462
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:55,683

What did your father have to say?

477
00:30:30,791 --> 00:30:32,767
How good we were?

478
00:30:32,791 --> 00:30:34,558
How right we were?

479
00:30:34,582 --> 00:30:35,707
We followed the word,

480
00:30:35,749 --> 00:30:36,749
the faith?

481
00:30:37,832 --> 00:30:40,808
Everything's in
pieces, Pat, I know that.

482
00:30:40,832 --> 00:30:43,392
Your heart's breaking, so is mine.

483
00:30:43,416 --> 00:30:44,975
We can only help each other.

484
00:30:44,999 --> 00:30:46,933
Like we helped, Ruth?

485
00:30:46,957 --> 00:30:49,558
You saved Teddy and left Ruth in the sea!

486
00:30:49,582 --> 00:30:51,767
How could you do that, how could you?

487
00:30:51,791 --> 00:30:54,600
Ruth had a chance, Pat,
Teddy was almost gone!

488
00:30:54,624 --> 00:30:56,749
That wouldn't make any difference to me!

489
00:30:58,082 --> 00:31:01,749
Well, what sort of
decision was it for me?

490
00:31:03,666 --> 00:31:06,433
I'll never get the sound of
her cries out of my head.

491
00:31:06,457 --> 00:31:07,457
Never.

492
00:31:09,749 --> 00:31:10,957
I'm sorry, John.

493
00:31:12,666 --> 00:31:14,475
I shouldn't have said that.

494
00:31:14,499 --> 00:31:15,499
I didn't mean it.

495
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:17,749
What's happening to us?

496
00:31:18,916 --> 00:31:19,916
Pat.

497
00:31:21,541 --> 00:31:22,541
No.

498
00:31:23,416 --> 00:31:25,725
There's something I must tell you.

499
00:31:25,749 --> 00:31:27,957
Last night, I went back to the hospital.

500
00:31:29,166 --> 00:31:30,683
I know you did.

501
00:31:30,707 --> 00:31:32,475
I went back to ask them,

502
00:31:32,499 --> 00:31:34,499
beg them to give Ruth a transfusion!

503
00:31:36,541 --> 00:31:38,517
I got there too late and she died.

504
00:31:38,541 --> 00:31:39,541
Pat.

505
00:31:40,541 --> 00:31:41,874
I wanted Ruth to live.

506
00:31:46,916 --> 00:31:48,350
But...

507
00:31:48,374 --> 00:31:49,392
If we...

508
00:31:49,416 --> 00:31:52,017
If we had gone back on our faith,

509
00:31:52,041 --> 00:31:55,207
she would've lost her eternal life.

510
00:31:55,249 --> 00:31:56,457
I don't believe that.

511
00:31:57,791 --> 00:31:59,475
And I realise now I never did believe it.

512
00:31:59,499 --> 00:32:00,309
Pat!

513
00:32:00,333 --> 00:32:02,082
I married you because I loved you.

514
00:32:03,124 --> 00:32:04,933
When you asked me to
promise certain things,

515
00:32:04,957 --> 00:32:06,791
I promised them because you asked me.

516
00:32:07,916 --> 00:32:10,957
That's as far as my belief
went, just as far as you.

517
00:32:13,624 --> 00:32:16,374
But I never really
thought until last night.

518
00:32:18,249 --> 00:32:22,225
And last night I knew that
living was here on this earth.

519
00:32:22,249 --> 00:32:23,558
Now!

520
00:32:23,582 --> 00:32:25,892
Ruth warm and breathing.

521
00:32:25,916 --> 00:32:26,916
Stop!

522
00:32:30,874 --> 00:32:31,874
That's what I did.

523
00:32:33,291 --> 00:32:35,457
I tried to save Ruth's earthly life.

524
00:32:36,624 --> 00:32:38,207
How do I know there's any other?

525
00:32:44,416 --> 00:32:47,225
I've only been your wife in love, John,

526
00:32:47,249 --> 00:32:48,332
never in faith.

527
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:53,832
Now that you know, I don't
really belong here, do I?

528
00:33:24,082 --> 00:33:27,058
Accidental death caused
by emersion in the sea.

529
00:33:27,082 --> 00:33:29,267
If it had been a cat or a dog or a horse,

530
00:33:29,291 --> 00:33:30,558
they'd have been howling for his blood.

531
00:33:30,582 --> 00:33:31,393
Like you are doing.

532
00:33:31,417 --> 00:33:32,933
The coroner should
have torn Harris in half,

533
00:33:32,957 --> 00:33:34,475
not acted like a wet nurse.

534
00:33:34,499 --> 00:33:35,683
Passing the buck, Jim,

535
00:33:35,707 --> 00:33:37,725
this touches religion and that's dynamite.

536
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:38,975
Ah, so it is.

537
00:33:38,999 --> 00:33:41,166
Maybe it's time someone
got blown sky high.

538
00:33:43,667 --> 00:33:46,600
You sound as brutal as
you're making Harris out to be.

539
00:33:46,624 --> 00:33:47,850
Maybe I am.

540
00:33:47,874 --> 00:33:49,058
It's not the man himself I'm after,

541
00:33:49,082 --> 00:33:50,392
it's the fact that he can,

542
00:33:50,416 --> 00:33:53,017
he can kill and be allowed
to get away with it.

543
00:33:53,041 --> 00:33:54,249
That makes more sense.

544
00:33:56,082 --> 00:33:57,207
I feel so damned helpless.

545
00:33:58,041 --> 00:34:00,642
Come on, you've done everything you can.

546
00:34:00,666 --> 00:34:02,082
Forget it, it's finished.

547
00:34:02,957 --> 00:34:04,582
That kid gets buried tomorrow.

548
00:34:06,374 --> 00:34:08,600
Richard, will you drive my car
back to the hospital for me?

549
00:34:08,624 --> 00:34:10,332
I think I'll just walk it off.

550
00:34:34,332 --> 00:34:35,892
Come in.

551
00:34:35,916 --> 00:34:36,851
- Well?
- There's a Dr. Brown

552
00:34:36,875 --> 00:34:38,350
to see you, sir.

553
00:34:38,374 --> 00:34:39,600
Well, well.

554
00:34:39,624 --> 00:34:40,642
Sir?

555
00:34:40,666 --> 00:34:41,666
Show him in.

556
00:34:44,957 --> 00:34:45,957
Dr. Brown, sir.

557
00:34:47,374 --> 00:34:48,874
Come in, Doctor.

558
00:34:51,666 --> 00:34:53,291
I shan't keep you a minute.

559
00:34:59,582 --> 00:35:00,957
Well, what can I do for you?

560
00:35:00,999 --> 00:35:03,767
You were at the inquest
on Ruth Harris, weren't you?

561
00:35:03,791 --> 00:35:04,808
Uh...

562
00:35:04,832 --> 00:35:06,058
Yes, I was.

563
00:35:06,082 --> 00:35:07,916
What's gonna happen?

564
00:35:09,041 --> 00:35:10,041
Happen?

565
00:35:10,791 --> 00:35:12,058
I'm not sure I'm with you.

566
00:35:12,082 --> 00:35:14,100
As a result of the verdict.

567
00:35:14,124 --> 00:35:15,124
Oh, I see.

568
00:35:16,124 --> 00:35:17,249
Well, sit down, Doctor.

569
00:35:18,999 --> 00:35:20,475
Well, I've heard the evidence,

570
00:35:20,499 --> 00:35:21,517
the coroner has given his verdict

571
00:35:21,541 --> 00:35:23,183
and everyone will be satisfied, I'm sure.

572
00:35:23,207 --> 00:35:25,433
The coroner's verdict isn't final.

573
00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:26,393
Is that so?

574
00:35:26,417 --> 00:35:27,457
No.

575
00:35:27,499 --> 00:35:29,332
The police could take the matter further.

576
00:35:30,374 --> 00:35:32,791
Oh yes, that has been done.

577
00:35:33,999 --> 00:35:34,809
Well, first of all,

578
00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:37,082
the police have to disagree
with the coroner's verdict.

579
00:35:38,041 --> 00:35:40,600
And, even then, they don't
move, they can't move, in fact,

580
00:35:40,624 --> 00:35:42,850
without a lot of evidence to support them.

581
00:35:42,874 --> 00:35:45,058
Harris was responsible
for his child's death

582
00:35:45,082 --> 00:35:47,100
because he refused to
let me give her treatment

583
00:35:47,124 --> 00:35:48,308
that would've saved her life.

584
00:35:48,332 --> 00:35:50,308
I should have thought
that was evidence enough.

585
00:35:50,332 --> 00:35:51,933
Ah.

586
00:35:51,957 --> 00:35:53,666
So I heard you say at the inquest.

587
00:35:54,957 --> 00:35:56,683
Are the police going
to do anything more?

588
00:35:56,707 --> 00:35:58,558
Religion's a tricky business, Doctor.

589
00:35:58,582 --> 00:35:59,892
Very tricky.

590
00:35:59,916 --> 00:36:02,291
Everyone feels, nobody thinks.

591
00:36:03,916 --> 00:36:05,541
So, you're not gonna do anything?

592
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:09,392
There's nothing I can do.

593
00:36:09,416 --> 00:36:10,749
I'll take further advice.

594
00:36:12,124 --> 00:36:14,207
Well, that's your privilege, Doctor,

595
00:36:14,249 --> 00:36:15,291
as a private citizen.

596
00:36:32,916 --> 00:36:33,933
Pat?

597
00:36:33,957 --> 00:36:34,957
Pat, are you here?

598
00:36:36,166 --> 00:36:37,166
Yes, Mother.

599
00:36:39,666 --> 00:36:40,957
It's after two.

600
00:36:42,541 --> 00:36:43,541
Is it?

601
00:36:44,541 --> 00:36:45,999
She'll be buried today then.

602
00:36:47,499 --> 00:36:48,999
This won't do, Pat.

603
00:36:50,791 --> 00:36:52,041
I wish I were dead too.

604
00:36:53,249 --> 00:36:56,582
That's cowardly talk
and I won't have it.

605
00:36:57,666 --> 00:36:59,041
You should be with John.

606
00:37:00,041 --> 00:37:03,142
Must be awful for him, all
alone in that house with,

607
00:37:03,166 --> 00:37:03,975
with Ruth's...

608
00:37:03,999 --> 00:37:04,999
No.

609
00:37:06,666 --> 00:37:08,041
You love him, Pat.

610
00:37:09,666 --> 00:37:10,666
Do I?

611
00:37:11,957 --> 00:37:13,832
Can I go back and pretend,

612
00:37:15,374 --> 00:37:18,416
pretend all over again that
I believe like he does?

613
00:37:19,791 --> 00:37:21,416
Maybe give him another child?

614
00:37:25,166 --> 00:37:26,166
You're worn out.

615
00:37:28,041 --> 00:37:29,332
Come on to bed, love.

616
00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:32,308
No, I'll just sit here for a bit.

617
00:37:32,332 --> 00:37:33,582
I couldn't sleep anyway.

618
00:37:35,416 --> 00:37:37,916
Well, don't get cold then.

619
00:37:54,707 --> 00:37:55,707
Ruth.

620
00:37:58,207 --> 00:37:59,850
My baby.

621
00:38:49,707 --> 00:38:50,707
Pat?

622
00:38:56,207 --> 00:38:57,018
Call yourself a father?

623
00:38:57,042 --> 00:38:58,850
They should put you away,
that's what they should do!

624
00:38:58,874 --> 00:38:59,892
You won't get away with it though.

625
00:38:59,916 --> 00:39:01,892
You don't deserve to have a child.

626
00:39:01,916 --> 00:39:03,933
Leave him alone!

627
00:39:03,957 --> 00:39:06,058
It's got nothing to do with you!

628
00:39:06,082 --> 00:39:07,082
Get out!

629
00:39:29,749 --> 00:39:30,832
No, I can't.

630
00:39:31,791 --> 00:39:33,225
The meetings for Ruth, Pat.

631
00:39:33,249 --> 00:39:34,791
It's the only service there is.

632
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:38,082
Come home, John, please come home.

633
00:40:09,666 --> 00:40:10,666
Dr. Brown!

634
00:40:11,999 --> 00:40:13,558
I nearly missed you.

635
00:40:13,582 --> 00:40:15,850
My name's Clyde, I edit "The Citizen."

636
00:40:15,874 --> 00:40:16,933
Oh, that's funny.

637
00:40:16,957 --> 00:40:18,308
I've made up my mind to
come around and see you.

638
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:19,517
I just read your article.

639
00:40:19,541 --> 00:40:21,017
You took a strong line.

640
00:40:21,041 --> 00:40:22,808
Glad someone here had
the guts to speak out.

641
00:40:22,832 --> 00:40:24,457
I'd like to help if I can.

642
00:40:24,499 --> 00:40:25,808
What's your next step?

643
00:40:25,832 --> 00:40:27,183
What gave you the idea
I was going to take one?

644
00:40:27,207 --> 00:40:28,683
I watched your face at the inquest.

645
00:40:28,707 --> 00:40:30,017
All right, I won't deny it.

646
00:40:30,041 --> 00:40:31,642
I want to find out the
exact legal position.

647
00:40:31,666 --> 00:40:33,142
There must be a right of appeal somewhere.

648
00:40:33,166 --> 00:40:34,350
Who's a good solicitor?

649
00:40:34,374 --> 00:40:36,642
Hart Jacobs in Durham, he's your boy.

650
00:40:36,666 --> 00:40:39,225
I've known him for years,
we play golf together.

651
00:40:39,249 --> 00:40:40,433
Do you want to meet him?

652
00:40:40,457 --> 00:40:41,457
Yeah.

653
00:40:43,791 --> 00:40:44,791
Yes.

654
00:40:53,082 --> 00:40:53,892
Those are the full facts?

655
00:40:53,916 --> 00:40:54,726
Yes.

656
00:40:54,750 --> 00:40:56,892
Well, there's no doubt
that you can lay information

657
00:40:56,916 --> 00:40:57,893
before the magistrates.

658
00:40:57,917 --> 00:40:59,808
If they think there's enough evidence

659
00:40:59,832 --> 00:41:02,017
to put Harris on trial,
they'll commit him.

660
00:41:02,041 --> 00:41:04,683
He'll go to asylum on a
charge of manslaughter.

661
00:41:04,707 --> 00:41:05,725
Not murder?

662
00:41:05,749 --> 00:41:08,267
No, no premeditation, no intent to kill.

663
00:41:08,291 --> 00:41:10,666
You'll have to be satisfied
with "manslaughter.”

664
00:41:11,749 --> 00:41:12,559
What do I do next?

665
00:41:12,583 --> 00:41:14,600
You'll find yourself a solicitor.

666
00:41:14,624 --> 00:41:16,142
- Well, that's you.
- No.

667
00:41:16,166 --> 00:41:18,457
I'm completely out of
sympathy with you, Brian.

668
00:41:20,082 --> 00:41:21,517
Why, for heaven sake?

669
00:41:21,541 --> 00:41:22,725
Because I think he's cutting across

670
00:41:22,749 --> 00:41:25,933
the most private things in a man's life.

671
00:41:25,957 --> 00:41:28,767
What right of you to
criticise Harris's beliefs?

672
00:41:28,791 --> 00:41:29,892
Because the child's dead.

673
00:41:29,916 --> 00:41:32,142
Dead to you, not to him.

674
00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:33,933
Superstitious dogma.

675
00:41:33,957 --> 00:41:35,957
I believe you're a Catholic, Clyde?

676
00:41:35,999 --> 00:41:37,100
Yeah.

677
00:41:37,124 --> 00:41:38,308
Well there's another decision

678
00:41:38,332 --> 00:41:40,683
you might have to make one day, Doctor,

679
00:41:40,707 --> 00:41:44,142
whether to save a mother's life
or that of an unborn child.

680
00:41:44,166 --> 00:41:46,767
Clyde's church would
sacrifice the mother's life.

681
00:41:46,791 --> 00:41:48,933
Clyde would sacrifice the living mother

682
00:41:48,957 --> 00:41:50,600
for the unborn child.

683
00:41:50,624 --> 00:41:52,600
Harris would sacrifice the living child

684
00:41:52,624 --> 00:41:54,058
for its life to come,

685
00:41:54,082 --> 00:41:55,933
it's everlasting life.

686
00:41:55,957 --> 00:41:57,350
Look, I'm a doctor.

687
00:41:57,374 --> 00:41:59,433
It's my business to save life here.

688
00:41:59,457 --> 00:42:00,957
That's simple enough, isn't it?

689
00:42:01,957 --> 00:42:04,308
Then you mean to go through with this?

690
00:42:04,332 --> 00:42:05,517
Yes.

691
00:42:05,541 --> 00:42:06,434
I do.

692
00:42:06,458 --> 00:42:08,475
Well, I'm not taking it on.

693
00:42:08,499 --> 00:42:09,808
I'm a Jew.

694
00:42:09,832 --> 00:42:11,558
The thing smacks as persecution to me.

695
00:42:11,582 --> 00:42:13,600
Persecution, my foot!

696
00:42:13,624 --> 00:42:15,100
We've got to make an example of Harris

697
00:42:15,124 --> 00:42:16,350
to stop this happening again.

698
00:42:17,582 --> 00:42:18,476
You and your crusades.

699
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:19,892
Last month, it was fox hunting.

700
00:42:19,916 --> 00:42:20,893
Now, look...

701
00:42:20,917 --> 00:42:23,499
All right, I know you
right from the heart.

702
00:42:25,207 --> 00:42:27,475
Well, if you won't
take it on, you won't.

703
00:42:27,499 --> 00:42:28,642
Think I'll go and see Mapleton.

704
00:42:28,666 --> 00:42:30,350
Yes, Mapleton's your man, Doctor.

705
00:42:30,374 --> 00:42:31,892
Cold-blooded fish.

706
00:42:31,916 --> 00:42:32,809
He knows law.

707
00:42:32,833 --> 00:42:33,850
Coming, Clyde?

708
00:42:33,874 --> 00:42:35,600
I think we need a drink.

709
00:42:35,624 --> 00:42:37,600
You have it, I need some exercise.

710
00:42:37,624 --> 00:42:38,624
Goodbye, Doctor.

711
00:42:47,832 --> 00:42:49,892
A private action on a
charge such as manslaughter

712
00:42:49,916 --> 00:42:51,683
is unusual, of course.

713
00:42:51,707 --> 00:42:53,892
For the right of any man to
bring a charge against another

714
00:42:53,916 --> 00:42:55,933
is old as the law itself.

715
00:42:55,957 --> 00:42:58,642
Goes right back to the days
when the village elders

716
00:42:58,666 --> 00:43:00,166
held court under the oak tree.

717
00:43:01,582 --> 00:43:05,975
Yes, well our authority will
be Regina vs. Serne, 1899.

718
00:43:05,999 --> 00:43:07,558
In many ways parallel,

719
00:43:07,582 --> 00:43:09,558
the case turned upon the
interpretation of the words,

720
00:43:09,582 --> 00:43:11,642
"willfully neglects.”

721
00:43:11,666 --> 00:43:14,142
The father refused medical
care and the child died.

722
00:43:14,166 --> 00:43:15,957
He killed her then.

723
00:43:15,999 --> 00:43:18,683
Well, at any rate, they got
him on a manslaughter charge.

724
00:43:18,707 --> 00:43:20,183
What happened?

725
00:43:20,207 --> 00:43:22,308
The jury found him guilty.

726
00:43:22,332 --> 00:43:24,475
Yes, well, we can get
Harris under section one

727
00:43:24,499 --> 00:43:27,058
of the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children Act, 1894.

728
00:43:27,082 --> 00:43:30,017
Renamed the "Children and
Young Persons Act" in 1933,

729
00:43:30,041 --> 00:43:32,017
but basically still the same.

730
00:43:32,041 --> 00:43:32,851
Will it take long?

731
00:43:32,875 --> 00:43:34,933
No, no, this is brief, simple.

732
00:43:34,957 --> 00:43:36,725
Facts as plain as day.

733
00:43:36,749 --> 00:43:38,100
All contained in your statement,

734
00:43:38,124 --> 00:43:39,850
corroborated by affidavits
from the other doctor

735
00:43:39,874 --> 00:43:40,975
and the sister.

736
00:43:40,999 --> 00:43:42,808
Say nothing of the declaration
that Harris signed,

737
00:43:42,832 --> 00:43:45,225
taking full responsibility for his action.

738
00:43:45,249 --> 00:43:46,059
No, in my opinion,

739
00:43:46,083 --> 00:43:47,475
I don't see how the
magistrates will be able to say

740
00:43:47,499 --> 00:43:48,476
there's no case to answer.

741
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:50,433
Superintendent Finley
didn't take that view.

742
00:43:50,457 --> 00:43:52,225
Well, he's a cautious man.

743
00:43:52,249 --> 00:43:53,184
Anyway, the police have to think

744
00:43:53,208 --> 00:43:54,267
past the magistrates, doctor,

745
00:43:54,291 --> 00:43:56,142
right after the judge and jury.

746
00:43:56,166 --> 00:43:57,392
But don't ask me for an opinion there.

747
00:43:57,416 --> 00:43:59,517
All right, Mr. Mapleton,
thanks very much.

748
00:43:59,541 --> 00:44:00,350
Goodbye.

749
00:44:00,374 --> 00:44:01,374
Goodbye.

750
00:44:13,374 --> 00:44:14,850
My I see Mr. Reynolds?

751
00:44:14,874 --> 00:44:16,350
Vicker's around a youth hall.

752
00:44:16,374 --> 00:44:18,225
They repaired a leak last week.

753
00:44:18,249 --> 00:44:19,582
Now they're doing the wall.

754
00:44:20,457 --> 00:44:21,457
Thank you.

755
00:44:35,624 --> 00:44:36,624
Mr. Reynolds?

756
00:44:39,999 --> 00:44:41,350
Pat.

757
00:44:41,374 --> 00:44:42,624
Patricia Harris.

758
00:44:44,207 --> 00:44:46,017
Sorry to interrupt you
while you're working.

759
00:44:46,041 --> 00:44:47,058
Oh, that's all right.

760
00:44:47,082 --> 00:44:49,392
This job will go on for months.

761
00:44:49,416 --> 00:44:50,933
Why,

762
00:44:50,957 --> 00:44:53,207
I haven't seen you since...

763
00:44:53,249 --> 00:44:55,124
Since I married into another church.

764
00:44:56,291 --> 00:44:58,041
It isn't the church that matters.

765
00:44:58,957 --> 00:44:59,851
Do you know what's happened?

766
00:44:59,875 --> 00:45:01,374
Yes, I know.

767
00:45:03,791 --> 00:45:05,267
Your husband,

768
00:45:05,291 --> 00:45:07,683
does he approve of
you're coming to see me?

769
00:45:07,707 --> 00:45:08,707
He doesn't know.

770
00:45:09,541 --> 00:45:10,850
We're not together anymore.

771
00:45:10,874 --> 00:45:11,957
Oh, that's sad.

772
00:45:13,707 --> 00:45:14,892
Did you expect me to stay with him?

773
00:45:14,916 --> 00:45:16,225
I'm old fashioned.

774
00:45:16,249 --> 00:45:18,541
I believe "until death us do part."

775
00:45:20,916 --> 00:45:21,999
Why did you leave him?

776
00:45:23,874 --> 00:45:26,017
I wasn't ever really with him,

777
00:45:26,041 --> 00:45:27,499
not the way he thought I was.

778
00:45:31,582 --> 00:45:32,933
Mr. Reynolds,

779
00:45:32,957 --> 00:45:35,433
is everything we read in the Bible true?

780
00:45:35,457 --> 00:45:37,975
Did God want Ruth to die?

781
00:45:37,999 --> 00:45:40,058
Your husband thinks so.

782
00:45:40,082 --> 00:45:43,433
He believes his God
called Ruth unto himself.

783
00:45:43,457 --> 00:45:44,309
Why do you say his God?

784
00:45:44,333 --> 00:45:46,207
It's the same God for us all, isn't it?

785
00:45:46,249 --> 00:45:48,058
No, it isn't.

786
00:45:48,082 --> 00:45:49,018
What's the difference, then?

787
00:45:49,042 --> 00:45:50,392
We all read the same book.

788
00:45:50,416 --> 00:45:52,433
The difference is very simple.

789
00:45:52,457 --> 00:45:56,767
We pick and choose from
the same book, as you say.

790
00:45:56,791 --> 00:46:00,975
One man reads God is merciful,
one man reads God is wise,

791
00:46:00,999 --> 00:46:04,017
one man reads God is the law.

792
00:46:04,041 --> 00:46:07,308
We all treat the church
like a supermarket,

793
00:46:07,332 --> 00:46:09,600
go in and buy half a pound of the belief

794
00:46:09,624 --> 00:46:10,832
that pleases us best.

795
00:46:13,249 --> 00:46:15,207
You did that, didn't you, Pat?

796
00:46:15,249 --> 00:46:16,850
You chose a belief that pleased you

797
00:46:16,874 --> 00:46:18,499
because it pleased your husband.

798
00:46:19,791 --> 00:46:20,791
Yes, I did.

799
00:46:22,416 --> 00:46:24,475
That's exactly what I did.

800
00:46:24,499 --> 00:46:26,017
Well, your husband didn't.

801
00:46:26,041 --> 00:46:28,350
His faith came from within.

802
00:46:28,374 --> 00:46:30,642
His faith killed Ruth.

803
00:46:30,666 --> 00:46:33,350
I don't believe she
should have died, do you?

804
00:46:33,374 --> 00:46:35,183
No, I don't.

805
00:46:35,207 --> 00:46:38,100
I believe God gave us
the gift of earthly life

806
00:46:38,124 --> 00:46:40,291
and meant us to sustain that gift.

807
00:46:41,791 --> 00:46:43,207
Pat, why have you come here?

808
00:46:45,457 --> 00:46:46,457
I love John,

809
00:46:47,416 --> 00:46:48,874
and I want to go back to him.

810
00:46:50,624 --> 00:46:52,308
But it won't work unless I can pretend

811
00:46:52,332 --> 00:46:55,791
I think what he did was
right and accept his beliefs.

812
00:46:57,707 --> 00:46:58,999
Can I go back and pretend?

813
00:47:00,332 --> 00:47:02,183
That's what I came here to ask.

814
00:47:02,207 --> 00:47:03,892
When I prepared you for confirmation,

815
00:47:03,916 --> 00:47:05,457
I taught you God is truth.

816
00:47:06,624 --> 00:47:09,475
Well, just now, you said
"till death us do part."

817
00:47:09,499 --> 00:47:10,874
One contradicts the other.

818
00:47:14,416 --> 00:47:16,892
There's no magic answer, is there?

819
00:47:16,916 --> 00:47:19,374
No "you can" or "you can't."

820
00:47:22,582 --> 00:47:24,100
Half a dozen times in my life

821
00:47:24,124 --> 00:47:26,291
I've had the chance of
being a real priest.

822
00:47:27,457 --> 00:47:29,308
Now you offer me another chance

823
00:47:29,332 --> 00:47:31,124
and I don't know what to say to you.

824
00:47:32,499 --> 00:47:34,308
But this I do know,

825
00:47:34,332 --> 00:47:36,957
you must not go against the truth.

826
00:47:36,999 --> 00:47:38,725
That's the supreme law

827
00:47:38,749 --> 00:47:41,499
and the truth for you
is in your own heart.

828
00:47:44,166 --> 00:47:46,267
Well, that's it then.

829
00:47:46,291 --> 00:47:47,268
Your God doesn't seem

830
00:47:47,292 --> 00:47:49,392
to have helped me very much, Mr. Reynolds.

831
00:47:49,416 --> 00:47:51,832
The world's a very
lonely place without Him.

832
00:47:53,166 --> 00:47:54,791
I'm lonely without my husband.

833
00:47:57,457 --> 00:48:00,916
I suppose the truth is we all
have to find our own answers.

834
00:48:02,916 --> 00:48:04,517
Goodbye, Mr. Reynolds.

835
00:48:04,541 --> 00:48:05,541
Goodbye.

836
00:48:17,249 --> 00:48:18,600
We'll try traction.

837
00:48:18,624 --> 00:48:20,517
I'm against operating in these cases.

838
00:48:20,541 --> 00:48:21,541
Come in.

839
00:48:22,707 --> 00:48:23,643
Oh.

840
00:48:23,667 --> 00:48:24,933
Oh, come in, Jim.

841
00:48:24,957 --> 00:48:25,893
- I'm just going.
- Oh, that's all right,

842
00:48:25,917 --> 00:48:28,600
Richard, if Mr. Marshall
doesn't mind, I don't.

843
00:48:28,624 --> 00:48:30,517
I'm going to instruct
Mapleton, the solicitor,

844
00:48:30,541 --> 00:48:32,475
to ask the magistrates to issue a warrant

845
00:48:32,499 --> 00:48:33,999
for the arrest of John Harris.

846
00:48:34,832 --> 00:48:36,850
I thought you should know.

847
00:48:36,874 --> 00:48:38,183
Arrest?

848
00:48:38,207 --> 00:48:39,850
He was cleared at the inquest.

849
00:48:39,874 --> 00:48:41,517
Aren't the police satisfied?

850
00:48:41,541 --> 00:48:43,392
Well, maybe they are, I'm not.

851
00:48:43,416 --> 00:48:45,350
I'm taking an action against
him for manslaughter.

852
00:48:45,374 --> 00:48:46,975
Manslaughter!

853
00:48:46,999 --> 00:48:48,558
But this was out of the inquest.

854
00:48:48,582 --> 00:48:49,767
Why do you want to go further?

855
00:48:49,791 --> 00:48:50,601
I've got to.

856
00:48:50,625 --> 00:48:52,767
Can't leave things as they
are, it's too important.

857
00:48:52,791 --> 00:48:54,433
Jim, this is all very public-spirited

858
00:48:54,457 --> 00:48:56,808
but it could clear your whole future.

859
00:48:56,832 --> 00:48:58,207
Remember, you are a doctor.

860
00:48:58,249 --> 00:48:59,933
We are very vulnerable.

861
00:48:59,957 --> 00:49:01,100
This might be interpreted

862
00:49:01,124 --> 00:49:02,808
as trying to draw a lot
of attention to yourself.

863
00:49:02,832 --> 00:49:03,726
But I want attention,

864
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:06,017
I want people to know what
happened to this child.

865
00:49:06,041 --> 00:49:07,517
Harris had the right to
say now and he said it.

866
00:49:07,541 --> 00:49:09,291
But that's what's wrong, you see.

867
00:49:10,374 --> 00:49:11,683
He shouldn't have the right.

868
00:49:11,707 --> 00:49:13,558
No parent should have that responsibility.

869
00:49:13,582 --> 00:49:16,017
And that's why I've got to fight him.

870
00:49:16,041 --> 00:49:18,517
The medical profession
is concerned with healing.

871
00:49:18,541 --> 00:49:21,183
You'll do well to
remember that fact, James.

872
00:49:21,207 --> 00:49:22,850
So forget the child.

873
00:49:22,874 --> 00:49:24,683
She's dead and buried.

874
00:49:24,707 --> 00:49:25,933
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

875
00:49:25,957 --> 00:49:28,457
I didn't become a doctor
to act as an undertaker.

876
00:49:29,291 --> 00:49:30,582
James, James!

877
00:49:34,541 --> 00:49:37,499
Doctors should stick to doctoring
and leave law to lawyers.

878
00:49:38,624 --> 00:49:41,207
Do you like a high court judge
to take out your appendix?

879
00:49:57,207 --> 00:49:58,541
Evening, John.

880
00:50:00,832 --> 00:50:03,892
I wondered if you'd like to
come over for a bit of supper.

881
00:50:03,916 --> 00:50:05,225
Oh,

882
00:50:05,249 --> 00:50:07,916
I was just going to put the
kettle on for a cup of tea.

883
00:50:13,041 --> 00:50:14,957
You're coming with me, lad, come on.

884
00:50:19,124 --> 00:50:21,058
Hello, Harry, that didn't take long.

885
00:50:21,082 --> 00:50:22,082
Is he coming?

886
00:50:24,124 --> 00:50:25,267
Come in.

887
00:50:25,291 --> 00:50:27,416
Come on, lad, sit yourself down.

888
00:50:28,291 --> 00:50:29,374
There we are.

889
00:50:30,499 --> 00:50:32,183
He was just gonna make
himself a cup tea, Mother.

890
00:50:32,207 --> 00:50:33,517
- Oh.
- No,

891
00:50:33,541 --> 00:50:35,267
I won't have any tea, thanks.

892
00:50:35,291 --> 00:50:36,957
Oh, well sit down for a minute.

893
00:50:39,041 --> 00:50:40,041
I...

894
00:50:40,749 --> 00:50:42,392
I want to talk to you.

895
00:50:42,416 --> 00:50:43,957
I've got to talk to someone.

896
00:50:45,291 --> 00:50:47,683
Well, you know what I did,

897
00:50:47,707 --> 00:50:48,707
you know the result.

898
00:50:50,457 --> 00:50:53,308
Well, I have to know what you think.

899
00:50:53,332 --> 00:50:55,416
People have seen it every day for years.

900
00:50:56,291 --> 00:50:57,291
What do you think?

901
00:50:58,499 --> 00:51:00,350
Teddy's alive, John.

902
00:51:00,374 --> 00:51:03,017
If it weren't for you, he'd be dead.

903
00:51:03,041 --> 00:51:05,975
Well, a man can only speak for himself.

904
00:51:05,999 --> 00:51:08,058
If it would have come to my kid's life,

905
00:51:08,082 --> 00:51:10,267
I'd have done what the doctors told me,

906
00:51:10,291 --> 00:51:12,707
whether it was against
my religion or not but...

907
00:51:13,666 --> 00:51:17,642
Well, we don't live by the
cut and dried rules you do.

908
00:51:17,666 --> 00:51:18,725
No.

909
00:51:18,749 --> 00:51:21,582
We go to church for
christenings and marriage,

910
00:51:23,666 --> 00:51:26,832
but we don't think all that much about it.

911
00:51:27,791 --> 00:51:29,582
For us, it's the simple things.

912
00:51:30,541 --> 00:51:32,874
Do unto others as you'd
have them do to you.

913
00:51:33,791 --> 00:51:35,892
You know, just the simple things.

914
00:51:35,916 --> 00:51:39,517
You see, it's much easier
for us than it is for you.

915
00:51:39,541 --> 00:51:40,541
So,

916
00:51:41,416 --> 00:51:44,350
well, we're not really able
to answer your question.

917
00:51:44,374 --> 00:51:46,124
We will never be put to the test.

918
00:51:48,499 --> 00:51:49,600
All right.

919
00:51:49,624 --> 00:51:51,624
I'm glad Teddy's all right.

920
00:51:53,291 --> 00:51:55,666
I won't stay for supper, thank you.

921
00:51:57,041 --> 00:51:58,350
You've been very kind.

922
00:51:58,374 --> 00:52:00,808
Well, you know what's best, John.

923
00:52:00,832 --> 00:52:02,600
But if you feel like
company, just come over.

924
00:52:02,624 --> 00:52:05,124
Aye, well, you'll always be welcome.

925
00:52:05,957 --> 00:52:06,957
Thank you.

926
00:52:09,666 --> 00:52:11,517
- Good night.
- Good night, John.

927
00:52:11,541 --> 00:52:13,041
Good night, lad.

928
00:52:15,166 --> 00:52:17,124
I wish there was something we could do.

929
00:52:19,749 --> 00:52:21,249
He's a good man, you know.

930
00:52:23,082 --> 00:52:24,707
Are you sure that we'd think that

931
00:52:24,749 --> 00:52:26,332
if he hadn't saved Teddy's life?

932
00:52:36,999 --> 00:52:37,999
Elliot!

933
00:52:39,249 --> 00:52:40,267
Elliot!

934
00:52:40,291 --> 00:52:41,850
Yes, sir.

935
00:52:41,874 --> 00:52:44,142
I've just come from
the magistrate's court.

936
00:52:44,166 --> 00:52:46,350
Dr. Brown got his warrant.

937
00:52:46,374 --> 00:52:47,374
What's the charge?

938
00:52:48,207 --> 00:52:49,207
Manslaughter.

939
00:52:51,832 --> 00:52:53,291
I was at school with John Harris.

940
00:52:54,124 --> 00:52:55,207
Known him all my life.

941
00:52:58,041 --> 00:52:58,851
Well, get on with it, Elliot.

942
00:52:58,875 --> 00:52:59,933
Don't just stand there.

943
00:52:59,957 --> 00:53:00,957
Yes, sir.

944
00:53:23,874 --> 00:53:25,225
Fred.

945
00:53:25,249 --> 00:53:26,249
Hello, John.

946
00:53:30,749 --> 00:53:31,749
Come in.

947
00:53:37,666 --> 00:53:39,374
Well, come in.

948
00:53:45,124 --> 00:53:46,124
Now, what is it?

949
00:53:47,582 --> 00:53:48,392
It's not bad.

950
00:53:48,416 --> 00:53:49,416
No, no, John.

951
00:53:50,207 --> 00:53:52,725
Well, this is the way it goes, John.

952
00:53:52,749 --> 00:53:55,892
John Paul Harris, I hold
a warrant for your arrest

953
00:53:55,916 --> 00:53:58,100
that you did on the night of
Saturday, the ninth of January,

954
00:53:58,124 --> 00:53:59,749
caused the death of Ruth Harris,

955
00:54:00,624 --> 00:54:01,850
and it is my duty to warn
you that anything you say

956
00:54:01,874 --> 00:54:03,791
may be taken down and used in evidence.

957
00:54:06,166 --> 00:54:07,749
How'd they make that out?

958
00:54:08,957 --> 00:54:10,183
Well, they've got you on

959
00:54:10,207 --> 00:54:12,416
the "Prevention of
Cruelty to Children Act."

960
00:54:22,916 --> 00:54:24,808
I'll get my coat.

961
00:54:29,874 --> 00:54:30,874
Sorry, John.

962
00:54:31,957 --> 00:54:34,558
It's all right, Fred.

963
00:54:49,874 --> 00:54:51,017
Pat!

964
00:54:51,041 --> 00:54:53,374
No, Ken, let her go alone.

965
00:54:54,332 --> 00:54:55,933
What's gonna happen to her?

966
00:54:55,957 --> 00:54:57,975
Too early days to say yet.

967
00:54:57,999 --> 00:55:01,267
How could you rush to him
like that after what he did?

968
00:55:01,291 --> 00:55:02,582
John's alive, Ken.

969
00:55:04,124 --> 00:55:05,124
And Ruth is dead.

970
00:55:28,332 --> 00:55:29,143
But I've got to see him.

971
00:55:29,167 --> 00:55:31,749
He's made his mind up, he
won't see you or anybody.

972
00:55:32,957 --> 00:55:35,517
Maybe, maybe he'll feel
different tomorrow.

973
00:55:35,541 --> 00:55:38,041
Try and see him early
before he comes up in court.

974
00:55:47,999 --> 00:55:49,892
Mrs. Harris, could I
talk to you for a minute?

975
00:55:49,916 --> 00:55:51,642
My name's Hart Jacobs.

976
00:55:51,666 --> 00:55:52,476
Yes?

977
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:53,725
I'm afraid this is rather unprofessional

978
00:55:53,749 --> 00:55:56,017
but I want to handle
your husband's defence.

979
00:55:56,041 --> 00:55:57,183
Who are you?

980
00:55:57,207 --> 00:55:58,207
A solicitor.

981
00:55:59,374 --> 00:56:01,600
Why do you want to handle
my husband's defence?

982
00:56:01,624 --> 00:56:03,017
Because I think he's
innocent of the charge

983
00:56:03,041 --> 00:56:04,683
laid against him.

984
00:56:04,707 --> 00:56:05,600
You do?

985
00:56:05,624 --> 00:56:06,624
You really do?

986
00:56:07,666 --> 00:56:08,601
Would you like to get in my car

987
00:56:08,625 --> 00:56:10,100
and talk for a few minutes?

988
00:56:10,124 --> 00:56:11,124
Please.

989
00:56:26,082 --> 00:56:28,433
I don't understand how they make it out.

990
00:56:28,457 --> 00:56:30,517
Well, they've charged
your husband on the.

991
00:56:30,541 --> 00:56:32,791
"Prevention of Cruelty to Children Act."

992
00:56:33,957 --> 00:56:35,124
Cruelty to children?

993
00:56:37,166 --> 00:56:38,892
Well, how can they say a
thing like that about John?

994
00:56:38,916 --> 00:56:41,183
He was the best and kindest
father that'd ever lived.

995
00:56:41,207 --> 00:56:42,725
I'm sure he was.

996
00:56:42,749 --> 00:56:44,225
Now, this is how it goes.

997
00:56:44,249 --> 00:56:46,433
Tomorrow will be just
the preliminary hearing

998
00:56:46,457 --> 00:56:49,374
before the magistrates, when
he'll be committed for trial.

999
00:56:51,374 --> 00:56:52,207
Trial.

1000
00:56:52,249 --> 00:56:54,749
I shall reserve defence, apply for bail.

1001
00:56:56,082 --> 00:56:58,642
Have you had any ideas who might?

1002
00:56:58,666 --> 00:57:00,017
Oh, yes.

1003
00:57:00,041 --> 00:57:02,433
He's not alone in his
faith, I know where to go.

1004
00:57:02,457 --> 00:57:03,999
It won't be an excessive sum.

1005
00:57:06,166 --> 00:57:07,892
I'm going to see Dr. Brown.

1006
00:57:07,916 --> 00:57:10,124
I'm going to ask him
to withdraw his action.

1007
00:57:11,666 --> 00:57:14,100
I don't think he'll
do that, Mrs. Harris.

1008
00:57:14,124 --> 00:57:15,582
Well, I must try.

1009
00:57:20,832 --> 00:57:22,517
Dr. Brown, I must speak to you.

1010
00:57:22,541 --> 00:57:23,933
I was just after the hospital,

1011
00:57:23,957 --> 00:57:25,332
- Mr. Harris.
- I must speak to you.

1012
00:57:27,041 --> 00:57:28,041
Come in.

1013
00:57:44,291 --> 00:57:46,142
They've arrested my husband.

1014
00:57:46,166 --> 00:57:47,166
I know.

1015
00:57:49,957 --> 00:57:51,707
Yes, of course you know, you did it.

1016
00:57:53,957 --> 00:57:55,416
I want you to drop the case.

1017
00:57:56,374 --> 00:57:57,374
I'm sorry.

1018
00:57:58,374 --> 00:57:59,767
I can't.

1019
00:57:59,791 --> 00:58:01,207
But it won't do any good.

1020
00:58:02,457 --> 00:58:03,457
Ruth's gone...

1021
00:58:04,332 --> 00:58:06,207
and nothing you can do
will bring her back.

1022
00:58:07,916 --> 00:58:09,041
Why do you hate John?

1023
00:58:10,332 --> 00:58:11,433
I don't hate him.

1024
00:58:11,457 --> 00:58:12,850
I hate what he did.

1025
00:58:12,874 --> 00:58:15,267
I believe in living, not dying.

1026
00:58:15,291 --> 00:58:18,058
But who's going to live
because you put John in prison?

1027
00:58:18,082 --> 00:58:20,433
Some other child in
some other place, I hope.

1028
00:58:20,457 --> 00:58:22,582
One hanging doesn't
stop the next murder.

1029
00:58:25,416 --> 00:58:27,933
You've said it now, haven't you?

1030
00:58:27,957 --> 00:58:31,058
He killed Ruth and you know it.

1031
00:58:31,082 --> 00:58:32,082
I know I love him.

1032
00:58:33,207 --> 00:58:34,999
That's the only thing I do know now.

1033
00:58:36,791 --> 00:58:38,725
And love goes with
charity and forgiveness,

1034
00:58:38,749 --> 00:58:40,350
things you could never understand.

1035
00:58:40,374 --> 00:58:42,332
What John did was right to him.

1036
00:58:44,124 --> 00:58:45,892
You don't share your
husband's convictions,

1037
00:58:45,916 --> 00:58:47,082
do you, Mrs. Harris?

1038
00:58:56,541 --> 00:59:00,082
If it gives you any satisfaction
to hear it, no, I don't.

1039
00:59:01,416 --> 00:59:02,416
I know that now.

1040
00:59:04,666 --> 00:59:07,517
But I understand how
real they are to John.

1041
00:59:07,541 --> 00:59:09,475
He did the same as his
father would've done

1042
00:59:09,499 --> 00:59:10,850
and his grandfather,

1043
00:59:10,874 --> 00:59:12,892
they hand down their faith.

1044
00:59:12,916 --> 00:59:14,142
So, no,

1045
00:59:14,166 --> 00:59:16,517
perhaps his father's the
real criminal, or his father.

1046
00:59:16,541 --> 00:59:17,933
They influence their children's minds

1047
00:59:17,957 --> 00:59:20,975
before they're old enough
to make their own decisions.

1048
00:59:20,999 --> 00:59:22,475
You're very good at making other people

1049
00:59:22,499 --> 00:59:23,999
look at themselves, Dr. Brown.

1050
00:59:25,249 --> 00:59:27,517
Well, you've got blindness too.

1051
00:59:27,541 --> 00:59:29,374
There is something beyond science.

1052
00:59:30,541 --> 00:59:31,600
You don't see it but John does

1053
00:59:31,624 --> 00:59:33,582
and he has the strength to live by it.

1054
00:59:38,124 --> 00:59:39,124
All right.

1055
00:59:39,999 --> 00:59:41,249
Carry on with your case.

1056
00:59:42,124 --> 00:59:44,308
But I wish I knew what you think
you're going to gain by it.

1057
00:59:44,332 --> 00:59:45,499
I've told you.

1058
00:59:46,457 --> 00:59:47,892
Another life in another place

1059
00:59:47,916 --> 00:59:50,600
and, perhaps, another mother save the,

1060
00:59:50,624 --> 00:59:52,332
the heartbreak you're feeling now.

1061
01:00:14,957 --> 01:00:15,768
Mrs. Harris has nothing to say.

1062
01:00:15,792 --> 01:00:16,933
Do you agree with your husband's views?

1063
01:00:16,957 --> 01:00:18,392
I told you, she has nothing to say!

1064
01:00:18,416 --> 01:00:19,268
- Now, leave her alone.
- Come on,

1065
01:00:19,292 --> 01:00:20,767
let her at least make a statement.

1066
01:00:20,791 --> 01:00:22,808
Have her heart, a couple of words, please.

1067
01:00:22,832 --> 01:00:23,809
Were you in the hospital
when your daughter died?

1068
01:00:23,833 --> 01:00:24,850
- Did you see it?
- Yes.

1069
01:00:24,874 --> 01:00:26,433
What happened, did she die quickly?

1070
01:00:26,457 --> 01:00:27,267
Was she in pain?

1071
01:00:27,291 --> 01:00:28,100
Get away!

1072
01:00:28,124 --> 01:00:28,933
Let us go through.

1073
01:00:28,957 --> 01:00:29,934
No time now.

1074
01:00:35,416 --> 01:00:36,416
How are you?

1075
01:01:01,124 --> 01:01:02,124
John,

1076
01:01:03,582 --> 01:01:04,933
this is Mr. Hart Jacobs.

1077
01:01:04,957 --> 01:01:06,624
He wants to conduct your defence.

1078
01:01:08,541 --> 01:01:10,457
I don't need a defence.

1079
01:01:11,916 --> 01:01:13,683
I've committed no crime.

1080
01:01:13,707 --> 01:01:14,850
That may well be, Mr. Harris,

1081
01:01:14,874 --> 01:01:16,600
but you've been accused of committing one.

1082
01:01:16,624 --> 01:01:19,933
It's up to us to show the
court that the charge is false.

1083
01:01:19,957 --> 01:01:22,225
Mr. Hart Jacobs wants to help you, John.

1084
01:01:22,249 --> 01:01:23,582
He thinks you're innocent.

1085
01:01:25,499 --> 01:01:26,499
Please, John.

1086
01:01:28,374 --> 01:01:29,374
John.

1087
01:01:33,374 --> 01:01:34,374
No.

1088
01:01:35,041 --> 01:01:37,017
I see your point, Mr. Harris,

1089
01:01:37,041 --> 01:01:38,392
but don't you think that if no defence

1090
01:01:38,416 --> 01:01:39,933
is put up on your behalf,

1091
01:01:39,957 --> 01:01:42,017
it'll be taken not as a sign of innocence

1092
01:01:42,041 --> 01:01:43,808
but as a proof of guilt?

1093
01:01:43,832 --> 01:01:45,433
The guilty man, of
course, has nothing to say

1094
01:01:45,457 --> 01:01:48,957
but the innocent man will say,
at least, "I am not guilty."

1095
01:01:50,416 --> 01:01:52,267
I will say that.

1096
01:01:52,291 --> 01:01:54,933
But then, you see, they'll
ask you why you're not guilty.

1097
01:01:54,957 --> 01:01:56,808
And that's where I come in.

1098
01:01:56,832 --> 01:01:58,225
For a man with no legal training,

1099
01:01:58,249 --> 01:02:01,017
to try and answer the
questions of the prosecutor

1100
01:02:01,041 --> 01:02:04,308
and defend himself at the
same time is very difficult,

1101
01:02:04,332 --> 01:02:05,308
believe me.

1102
01:02:05,332 --> 01:02:06,332
John,

1103
01:02:07,207 --> 01:02:09,166
you are not the only one to be tried.

1104
01:02:09,999 --> 01:02:12,082
It's everybody who believes as you do.

1105
01:02:13,207 --> 01:02:14,582
We are all on trial.

1106
01:02:16,291 --> 01:02:18,600
Your father's right, Mr. Harris.

1107
01:02:18,624 --> 01:02:21,374
He and every single member
of your faith is in the dock.

1108
01:02:27,999 --> 01:02:28,999
All right then.

1109
01:02:31,624 --> 01:02:33,707
You're up next, Harris.

1110
01:02:37,332 --> 01:02:38,832
Come along, now.

1111
01:02:47,666 --> 01:02:48,476
This won't take long.

1112
01:02:48,500 --> 01:02:49,517
I'll have a car round at the back.

1113
01:02:49,541 --> 01:02:50,874
You can slip out that way.

1114
01:02:51,957 --> 01:02:53,767
Oh, I've arranged with
Superintendent Finley

1115
01:02:53,791 --> 01:02:56,183
to give your husband 48 hours protection.

1116
01:02:56,207 --> 01:02:57,207
Protection?

1117
01:02:58,166 --> 01:02:59,350
I want mislead you, Mrs. Harris.

1118
01:02:59,374 --> 01:03:00,832
He's gonna need it for a bit.

1119
01:03:02,791 --> 01:03:04,517
This trial number five,

1120
01:03:04,541 --> 01:03:06,183
John Paul Harris.

1121
01:03:06,207 --> 01:03:08,100
John Paul Harris.

1122
01:03:20,374 --> 01:03:22,475
Quickly as possible, please, sir.

1123
01:03:22,499 --> 01:03:23,600
"Father."

1124
01:03:23,624 --> 01:03:25,207
You dirty the word.

1125
01:03:54,957 --> 01:03:57,707
You can't stay here, Pat,
I'll telephone your father.

1126
01:03:59,624 --> 01:04:00,624
Afternoon.

1127
01:04:02,874 --> 01:04:03,916
I'm from the Gazette.

1128
01:04:06,082 --> 01:04:07,832
Could we have this for publication?

1129
01:04:08,666 --> 01:04:10,183
Get out!

1130
01:04:10,207 --> 01:04:11,350
Just doing me job.

1131
01:04:11,374 --> 01:04:12,933
You've got no right to come in here.

1132
01:04:12,957 --> 01:04:15,350
Give me that, is nothing sacred to you?

1133
01:04:15,374 --> 01:04:17,475
And what's so sacred
about the kid's picture?

1134
01:04:17,499 --> 01:04:20,100
You let her die, didn't you?

1135
01:04:23,124 --> 01:04:24,124
Watch it, lad.

1136
01:04:25,207 --> 01:04:27,374
Where's that Christian charity of yours?

1137
01:04:29,124 --> 01:04:30,832
Will you please get out of here?

1138
01:04:32,541 --> 01:04:33,558
Will you please go?

1139
01:04:33,582 --> 01:04:34,476
All right.

1140
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:36,308
Well, you better get used to this though.

1141
01:04:36,332 --> 01:04:38,183
Your headlines, they're
going national this morning.

1142
01:04:38,207 --> 01:04:39,808
It's a big story...

1143
01:04:39,832 --> 01:04:41,999
and it's gonna get bigger.

1144
01:04:46,166 --> 01:04:47,143
Come on.

1145
01:04:47,167 --> 01:04:48,707
I'll take you to your father's.

1146
01:04:50,457 --> 01:04:51,457
No.

1147
01:04:55,791 --> 01:04:56,791
Let me stay.

1148
01:05:12,541 --> 01:05:13,351
Good morning, Mrs. Harris.

1149
01:05:13,375 --> 01:05:14,933
- Good morning.
- Mr. Harris.

1150
01:05:14,957 --> 01:05:15,808
Good morning.

1151
01:05:15,832 --> 01:05:16,832
Please sit down.

1152
01:05:20,082 --> 01:05:21,683
Mr. Harris.

1153
01:05:21,707 --> 01:05:23,642
About the money, Mr. Hart Jacobs.

1154
01:05:23,666 --> 01:05:25,850
Yes, I wanted to talk to you about that.

1155
01:05:25,874 --> 01:05:28,933
We could sell the house but
I'm afraid it's mortgaged.

1156
01:05:28,957 --> 01:05:30,142
Well, there's the car.

1157
01:05:30,166 --> 01:05:31,642
Aye, we could sell that.

1158
01:05:31,666 --> 01:05:32,683
Won't that much, but...

1159
01:05:32,707 --> 01:05:35,558
You can, of course, apply for legal aid.

1160
01:05:35,582 --> 01:05:39,933
This will cover my fees and
a defending council of sorts.

1161
01:05:39,957 --> 01:05:40,768
Well?

1162
01:05:40,792 --> 01:05:42,267
Well, I wanted to brief Hilary Pearson

1163
01:05:42,291 --> 01:05:44,183
but he costs money.

1164
01:05:44,207 --> 01:05:45,767
Real money.

1165
01:05:45,791 --> 01:05:47,558
We couldn't get him on the legal aid.

1166
01:05:47,582 --> 01:05:48,683
No.

1167
01:05:48,707 --> 01:05:49,707
Not a hope.

1168
01:05:50,666 --> 01:05:52,558
There is a way, however.

1169
01:05:52,582 --> 01:05:53,582
Yes?

1170
01:05:54,416 --> 01:05:55,832
I don't like suggesting it

1171
01:05:56,874 --> 01:05:58,058
but there's no doubt that any newspaper

1172
01:05:58,082 --> 01:05:59,874
would pay handsomely for your story.

1173
01:06:01,249 --> 01:06:03,017
I don't quite follow you.

1174
01:06:03,041 --> 01:06:04,725
Well, whichever way the
case goes, Mr. Harris,

1175
01:06:04,749 --> 01:06:06,517
there's a big story here.

1176
01:06:06,541 --> 01:06:08,183
All the papers, the Sundays especially,

1177
01:06:08,207 --> 01:06:09,499
will be after the rights.

1178
01:06:11,332 --> 01:06:12,350
No.

1179
01:06:12,374 --> 01:06:13,808
I'm not having that.

1180
01:06:13,832 --> 01:06:15,475
Now, let's look at this

1181
01:06:15,499 --> 01:06:18,308
from a practical point
of view, Mr. Harris.

1182
01:06:18,332 --> 01:06:20,957
I'll not look at it from
any point of view at all.

1183
01:06:22,249 --> 01:06:25,725
Now, I know you're doing your
best for us, Mr. Hart Jacobs,

1184
01:06:25,749 --> 01:06:27,124
but I'll not have it.

1185
01:06:28,374 --> 01:06:30,600
Everything we are, everything we think,

1186
01:06:30,624 --> 01:06:33,183
is going to be chewed over, I know that.

1187
01:06:33,207 --> 01:06:35,642
But at least they'll only be guessing.

1188
01:06:35,666 --> 01:06:38,100
If they buy my name, they
can print anything they like,

1189
01:06:38,124 --> 01:06:40,374
and I can't stop them
and I'll not have that.

1190
01:06:41,457 --> 01:06:44,767
So we'll just have to do
without Hilary Pearson.

1191
01:06:44,791 --> 01:06:45,791
So we...

1192
01:06:47,041 --> 01:06:49,683
we apply to the court for legal aid then.

1193
01:06:49,707 --> 01:06:50,707
Who will we get?

1194
01:06:51,749 --> 01:06:53,749
A young, ambitious man, Mrs. Harris.

1195
01:06:54,666 --> 01:06:56,392
But it won't be Pearson.

1196
01:06:56,416 --> 01:06:58,308
In my view, we need him.

1197
01:06:58,332 --> 01:07:00,874
I think the prosecution
will put up a top notcher.

1198
01:07:02,457 --> 01:07:05,142
I don't feel guilty of any crime.

1199
01:07:05,166 --> 01:07:07,558
As long as the facts are presented fairly,

1200
01:07:07,582 --> 01:07:08,749
I shall be satisfied.

1201
01:07:09,874 --> 01:07:10,874
So be it.

1202
01:07:12,166 --> 01:07:14,207
Your integrity impresses me, Harris.

1203
01:07:15,041 --> 01:07:17,392
Let's hope it impresses the jury.

1204
01:07:27,832 --> 01:07:29,642
John Paul Harris,

1205
01:07:29,666 --> 01:07:33,058
you stand charged upon
indictment with manslaughter

1206
01:07:33,082 --> 01:07:36,183
and a particular state that
you, on the ninth of January

1207
01:07:36,207 --> 01:07:38,392
of this year in the county of Durham,

1208
01:07:38,416 --> 01:07:41,291
unlawfully killed Ruth Rosemary Harris.

1209
01:07:42,291 --> 01:07:45,933
To that charge, do you
plead guilty or not guilty?

1210
01:07:45,957 --> 01:07:47,183
Not guilty.

1211
01:07:47,207 --> 01:07:48,933
John Paul Harris,

1212
01:07:48,957 --> 01:07:51,683
the names you are about to hear called...

1213
01:07:51,707 --> 01:07:53,100
What happens now?

1214
01:07:53,124 --> 01:07:54,392
All the preliminary business,

1215
01:07:54,416 --> 01:07:56,267
the jury and panelled and sworn,

1216
01:07:56,291 --> 01:07:58,392
opening speech for prosecution.

1217
01:07:58,416 --> 01:07:59,393
It won't take long.

1218
01:07:59,417 --> 01:08:01,475
Sir Humphrey's noted for his brevity.

1219
01:08:01,499 --> 01:08:02,957
He'll stick to the bare facts.

1220
01:08:04,707 --> 01:08:06,207
They're so damning, aren't they?

1221
01:08:07,332 --> 01:08:09,267
And so, members of the jury,

1222
01:08:09,291 --> 01:08:12,392
you will give the evidence
most careful consideration

1223
01:08:12,416 --> 01:08:14,892
and you will ignore all rumours

1224
01:08:14,916 --> 01:08:18,457
and you will put out of your
mind anything that you've read.

1225
01:08:18,499 --> 01:08:20,517
It is upon the evidence
presented before you

1226
01:08:20,541 --> 01:08:21,874
that you must decide.

1227
01:08:22,749 --> 01:08:25,332
And, remember, whatever Harris' motives,

1228
01:08:26,291 --> 01:08:28,082
they in no sense mitigate his guilt.

1229
01:08:29,041 --> 01:08:31,517
And now with the assistance
of my learned friend,

1230
01:08:31,541 --> 01:08:33,975
I will put the evidence
for the crown before you.

1231
01:08:33,999 --> 01:08:37,392
First, I shall call Dr. James Brown.

1232
01:08:43,249 --> 01:08:44,975
Take the Testament in your right hand

1233
01:08:44,999 --> 01:08:45,934
and read the oath aloud.

1234
01:08:45,958 --> 01:08:47,725
"I swear by almighty
God that the evidence

1235
01:08:47,749 --> 01:08:49,558
"I give to this court shall be the truth,

1236
01:08:49,582 --> 01:08:51,749
"the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.”

1237
01:08:52,832 --> 01:08:54,517
You are Dr. James Brown?

1238
01:08:54,541 --> 01:08:55,351
I am.

1239
01:08:55,375 --> 01:08:57,683
Ruth Harris was in your
care on the night in question.

1240
01:08:57,707 --> 01:08:58,559
She was.

1241
01:08:58,583 --> 01:09:01,392
Tell us exactly what you
told Harris, Dr. Brown,

1242
01:09:01,416 --> 01:09:03,808
after you'd examined his child.

1243
01:09:03,832 --> 01:09:06,267
I told him his daughter
was dangerously ill.

1244
01:09:06,291 --> 01:09:08,558
She needed a blood transfusion.

1245
01:09:08,582 --> 01:09:10,725
And what was Harris's reply?

1246
01:09:10,749 --> 01:09:11,559
He said no.

1247
01:09:11,583 --> 01:09:13,142
And what did you say then?

1248
01:09:13,166 --> 01:09:13,976
I said that she hadn't a chance

1249
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,933
unless I gave her what she needed.

1250
01:09:15,957 --> 01:09:17,017
Red blood cells.

1251
01:09:17,041 --> 01:09:20,416
Did Harris understand
what you were telling him?

1252
01:09:25,249 --> 01:09:26,059
Yes.

1253
01:09:26,083 --> 01:09:27,600
So when he refused to allow you

1254
01:09:27,624 --> 01:09:29,975
to give his child a transfusion,

1255
01:09:29,999 --> 01:09:31,957
he knew he was condemning her to death.

1256
01:09:35,999 --> 01:09:37,392
What happened then?

1257
01:09:37,416 --> 01:09:39,517
He came into the ward to see his child.

1258
01:09:39,541 --> 01:09:42,350
I asked him again to
allow me to save her life.

1259
01:09:42,374 --> 01:09:43,791
What was Harris' answer?

1260
01:09:44,666 --> 01:09:46,808
He repeated, no.

1261
01:09:46,832 --> 01:09:48,225
That was his final word?

1262
01:09:48,249 --> 01:09:49,249
Yes.

1263
01:09:50,707 --> 01:09:52,058
He'd already signed the declaration

1264
01:09:52,082 --> 01:09:54,142
accepting full responsibility
for his decision.

1265
01:09:54,166 --> 01:09:57,166
My lord, I now produced the
declaration signed by Harris.

1266
01:10:02,457 --> 01:10:04,100
Is that the declaration?

1267
01:10:04,124 --> 01:10:05,517
It is.

1268
01:10:05,541 --> 01:10:07,582
My lord, that will be exhibit one.

1269
01:10:08,416 --> 01:10:09,933
As I told you in my opening address,

1270
01:10:09,957 --> 01:10:11,767
we have only two exhibits.

1271
01:10:11,791 --> 01:10:14,916
The second is Ruth Rosemary
Harris's death certificate.

1272
01:10:21,707 --> 01:10:24,041
"The whole truth and
nothing but the truth.”

1273
01:10:25,499 --> 01:10:27,100
You are Sister Dora Young?

1274
01:10:27,124 --> 01:10:27,934
Yes.

1275
01:10:27,958 --> 01:10:29,683
A state registered nurse on the staff

1276
01:10:29,707 --> 01:10:31,308
of the East Durham Memorial hospital?

1277
01:10:31,332 --> 01:10:32,143
Yes.

1278
01:10:32,167 --> 01:10:34,058
Were you in charge
of the children's ward

1279
01:10:34,082 --> 01:10:36,017
on the night of Saturday,
January the ninth?

1280
01:10:36,041 --> 01:10:36,851
Yes.

1281
01:10:36,875 --> 01:10:38,183
Were you there, Sister,

1282
01:10:38,207 --> 01:10:41,225
when Mr. Harris came to
look at his little girl?

1283
01:10:41,249 --> 01:10:42,059
Yes.

1284
01:10:42,083 --> 01:10:43,957
Will you describe the scene, please?

1285
01:10:45,124 --> 01:10:47,767
He came to the foot of the bed

1286
01:10:47,791 --> 01:10:49,808
and stood there and looked at her.

1287
01:10:49,832 --> 01:10:51,082
How did the child look?

1288
01:10:51,999 --> 01:10:54,624
Her eyes were closed
and she was very still.

1289
01:10:55,624 --> 01:10:56,624
White too...

1290
01:10:57,332 --> 01:10:58,808
She'd lost a lot of blood.

1291
01:10:58,832 --> 01:10:59,874
What happened then?

1292
01:11:01,207 --> 01:11:02,707
Dr. Brown asked him again.

1293
01:11:03,957 --> 01:11:06,100
He said there wasn't much time left.

1294
01:11:06,124 --> 01:11:07,558
He said the child would die.

1295
01:11:07,582 --> 01:11:08,600
Really, there wasn't any need,

1296
01:11:08,624 --> 01:11:10,642
anyone could see she was dying.

1297
01:11:10,666 --> 01:11:12,767
And what did Mr. Harris say?

1298
01:11:12,791 --> 01:11:14,058
He said no.

1299
01:11:14,082 --> 01:11:15,725
Where was he standing?

1300
01:11:15,749 --> 01:11:17,183
At the foot of the bed.

1301
01:11:17,207 --> 01:11:18,143
Where he could see the child?

1302
01:11:18,167 --> 01:11:19,767
Yes, he never moved.

1303
01:11:19,791 --> 01:11:21,392
What happened then?

1304
01:11:21,416 --> 01:11:22,416
He left the ward.

1305
01:11:23,249 --> 01:11:24,517
Wouldn't have been any good him staying.

1306
01:11:24,541 --> 01:11:27,933
He would just have gone on
saying no until the child died.

1307
01:11:27,957 --> 01:11:29,308
And she did.

1308
01:11:29,332 --> 01:11:30,975
Who was there when Ruth died?

1309
01:11:30,999 --> 01:11:33,207
Dr. Brown and me and Mrs. Harris.

1310
01:11:33,249 --> 01:11:34,392
The child's mother?

1311
01:11:34,416 --> 01:11:35,933
Yes.

1312
01:11:35,957 --> 01:11:37,642
Why was she there?

1313
01:11:37,666 --> 01:11:39,183
Mrs. Harris came back.

1314
01:11:39,207 --> 01:11:40,374
She'd changed her mind.

1315
01:11:41,374 --> 01:11:43,374
But it was too late then, much too late.

1316
01:11:44,707 --> 01:11:46,683
One last question, Sister.

1317
01:11:46,707 --> 01:11:48,517
When Mr. Harris stood
at the foot of the bed

1318
01:11:48,541 --> 01:11:50,433
and looked at his child,

1319
01:11:50,457 --> 01:11:53,100
are you quite sure he knew
what Dr. Brown was telling him?

1320
01:11:53,124 --> 01:11:54,499
Oh, yes, he knew.

1321
01:11:55,457 --> 01:11:56,666
But he still said no.

1322
01:11:58,499 --> 01:11:59,541
Thank you, Sister.

1323
01:12:04,082 --> 01:12:05,808
Any questions, Mr. Kent?

1324
01:12:05,832 --> 01:12:07,225
No, my lord.

1325
01:12:07,249 --> 01:12:08,933
That is the case for the crown, my lord.

1326
01:12:08,957 --> 01:12:10,249
Thank you, Sir Humphrey.

1327
01:12:12,166 --> 01:12:15,207
Perhaps this is a convenient
time to adjourn, Mr. Kent.

1328
01:12:15,249 --> 01:12:16,582
As your lordship pleases.

1329
01:12:18,166 --> 01:12:19,558
Members of the jury,

1330
01:12:19,582 --> 01:12:21,183
we will now adjourn.

1331
01:12:21,207 --> 01:12:23,499
Please be back in your places by 2:15.

1332
01:12:36,499 --> 01:12:38,142
Very emotional atmosphere.

1333
01:12:38,166 --> 01:12:39,183
Yes, Judge.

1334
01:12:39,207 --> 01:12:42,058
Sir Humphrey certainly played
on the nurse to good effect.

1335
01:12:42,082 --> 01:12:43,392
Unnecessary.

1336
01:12:43,416 --> 01:12:44,226
The evidence of the doctor

1337
01:12:44,250 --> 01:12:46,767
and the declaration Harris
signed was sufficient.

1338
01:12:46,791 --> 01:12:49,725
He caused the child's death so
he's guilty of manslaughter.

1339
01:12:49,749 --> 01:12:51,267
No matter what, he's in
no terrible state of mind,

1340
01:12:51,291 --> 01:12:52,499
that's good law.

1341
01:12:53,499 --> 01:12:56,142
But my experience is,
in cases of this sort,

1342
01:12:56,166 --> 01:12:58,142
juries don't want to know the law.

1343
01:12:58,166 --> 01:12:59,767
They want to know the man.

1344
01:12:59,791 --> 01:13:02,225
They've got a string of
character witnesses, of course.

1345
01:13:02,249 --> 01:13:03,475
Quite useless.

1346
01:13:03,499 --> 01:13:06,392
Only Harris, himself, can decide the case.

1347
01:13:06,416 --> 01:13:08,850
Whichever way it goes,
there's a weakness here.

1348
01:13:08,874 --> 01:13:10,850
No single man should be allowed to face

1349
01:13:10,874 --> 01:13:14,142
the responsibility of the
decision that Harris faced.

1350
01:13:14,166 --> 01:13:15,475
A man can only carry so much.

1351
01:13:15,499 --> 01:13:16,725
That's why he created the State

1352
01:13:16,749 --> 01:13:18,291
to shoulder the heavier burden.

1353
01:13:19,624 --> 01:13:20,725
Mmm.

1354
01:13:20,749 --> 01:13:24,475
There should be a legal
curve on parents' powers.

1355
01:13:24,499 --> 01:13:25,933
Then Harris would never have been placed

1356
01:13:25,957 --> 01:13:27,082
on the rack like this.

1357
01:13:27,957 --> 01:13:29,957
I find this a very disturbing case.

1358
01:13:31,124 --> 01:13:33,624
I could bear it more easily
if Harris were a fool.

1359
01:13:34,457 --> 01:13:36,499
If he loses what sustains him,

1360
01:13:37,332 --> 01:13:38,332
God help him.

1361
01:13:39,207 --> 01:13:41,600
I think your lunch will be ready, Judge.

1362
01:13:41,624 --> 01:13:42,624
Oh.

1363
01:13:43,332 --> 01:13:44,332
All right, Frank.

1364
01:13:46,791 --> 01:13:47,791
Go ahead.

1365
01:13:59,166 --> 01:14:01,808
Now they strip the case down to facts

1366
01:14:01,832 --> 01:14:04,416
and the bare facts are
the last thing we want.

1367
01:14:05,791 --> 01:14:07,183
Now we've got to convince the jury

1368
01:14:07,207 --> 01:14:10,892
that Harris's decision was
dictated by his conscience.

1369
01:14:10,916 --> 01:14:13,433
As for testimony about his character,

1370
01:14:13,457 --> 01:14:15,142
Teddy's father will praise
him for saving his son

1371
01:14:15,166 --> 01:14:16,975
and there are a few more friends.

1372
01:14:16,999 --> 01:14:20,350
Are you calling the
fellas that went shirty?

1373
01:14:20,374 --> 01:14:22,225
Members of his sect, his father?

1374
01:14:22,249 --> 01:14:23,517
No.

1375
01:14:23,541 --> 01:14:25,041
No more cranks, no.

1376
01:14:26,707 --> 01:14:28,749
No, to my mind, there's
only one thing to do.

1377
01:14:29,707 --> 01:14:32,457
Chuck them all overboard
and put up Harris.

1378
01:14:32,499 --> 01:14:35,017
It's always a risk to put
the prisoner in the box.

1379
01:14:35,041 --> 01:14:36,433
Harris is already overboard.

1380
01:14:36,457 --> 01:14:38,725
He's only got one chance,

1381
01:14:38,749 --> 01:14:40,624
to sink or swim on his own integrity.

1382
01:14:42,374 --> 01:14:43,517
Tell me what you think.

1383
01:14:43,541 --> 01:14:45,100
About what?

1384
01:14:45,124 --> 01:14:46,124
John Harris.

1385
01:14:47,166 --> 01:14:48,624
His action, guilty as hell.

1386
01:14:50,124 --> 01:14:52,832
His reason, innocent as heaven itself.

1387
01:14:54,332 --> 01:14:56,892
You know, I wanted Hilary Pearson.

1388
01:14:56,916 --> 01:14:57,916
I'm glad we got you.

1389
01:14:58,874 --> 01:15:00,058
Put him up, Kent.

1390
01:15:00,082 --> 01:15:01,642
Put John Harris in the box.

1391
01:15:01,666 --> 01:15:02,666
Silence!

1392
01:15:16,957 --> 01:15:18,058
Mr. Kent.

1393
01:15:18,082 --> 01:15:20,600
May I please, your lordship?

1394
01:15:20,624 --> 01:15:21,624
Members of the jury,

1395
01:15:22,666 --> 01:15:25,433
this is, as you must certainly
feel, an important case,

1396
01:15:25,457 --> 01:15:28,517
both from the public and
Harris' point of view.

1397
01:15:28,541 --> 01:15:30,267
And it's a tragic case,
whichever way you look at it,

1398
01:15:30,291 --> 01:15:32,624
because it concerns the
death of a little girl.

1399
01:15:33,707 --> 01:15:35,791
A death that was caused by her father.

1400
01:15:39,999 --> 01:15:41,100
Now, we don't dispute the fact,

1401
01:15:41,124 --> 01:15:43,058
and I repeat, "the fact,”

1402
01:15:43,082 --> 01:15:46,433
that Harris caused the death
of his daughter by omission.

1403
01:15:46,457 --> 01:15:48,082
But that is not the issue.

1404
01:15:49,791 --> 01:15:52,058
Harris is on trial for the heresy

1405
01:15:52,082 --> 01:15:56,666
of setting aside medical
knowledge for a religious belief.

1406
01:15:58,832 --> 01:16:00,725
In 1689, there was passed
the "Toleration Act,"

1407
01:16:00,749 --> 01:16:02,017
which was the beginning of the full rights

1408
01:16:02,041 --> 01:16:03,475
that man enjoys today.

1409
01:16:03,499 --> 01:16:07,791
In law, in this country, a
man may worship as he pleases.

1410
01:16:09,249 --> 01:16:11,725
Harris chose a set of beliefs.

1411
01:16:11,749 --> 01:16:12,684
There's no secret about them,

1412
01:16:12,708 --> 01:16:14,892
they constitute a
general, recognised faith

1413
01:16:14,916 --> 01:16:16,957
practised by thousands
and thousands of people

1414
01:16:16,999 --> 01:16:20,832
all over the world and
the state allows it.

1415
01:16:25,124 --> 01:16:27,183
Great deal has been made by
the council for the crown

1416
01:16:27,207 --> 01:16:29,624
of the declaration that Harris signed.

1417
01:16:31,041 --> 01:16:33,374
But if the law required him to sign it,

1418
01:16:34,249 --> 01:16:38,249
then I submit it presupposes
a right of choice.

1419
01:16:39,416 --> 01:16:41,600
Members of the jury, I'm
not going to wear you

1420
01:16:41,624 --> 01:16:43,933
with a lot of unnecessary witnesses.

1421
01:16:43,957 --> 01:16:46,433
If you're to understand why
Harris behaved as he did,

1422
01:16:46,457 --> 01:16:48,582
which constitutes innocence and not guilt,

1423
01:16:49,499 --> 01:16:50,832
then you must know the man.

1424
01:16:52,166 --> 01:16:55,058
And that is why you must
meet him and hear him

1425
01:16:55,082 --> 01:16:58,041
and judge the extent and
sincerity of his beliefs.

1426
01:16:59,749 --> 01:17:04,183
I call John Paul Harris
and only John Paul Harris.

1427
01:17:37,707 --> 01:17:39,267
You wish to affirm?

1428
01:17:39,291 --> 01:17:40,350
Yes.

1429
01:17:40,374 --> 01:17:42,249
Read the affirmation from the card.

1430
01:17:45,082 --> 01:17:48,100
"I, John Paul Harris,
do solemnly, sincerely

1431
01:17:48,124 --> 01:17:50,058
"and truly declare and affirm

1432
01:17:50,082 --> 01:17:52,558
"that the evidence I shall
give will be the truth,

1433
01:17:52,582 --> 01:17:55,124
"the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.”

1434
01:17:56,499 --> 01:17:57,933
You're John Paul Harris?

1435
01:17:57,957 --> 01:17:58,893
I am.

1436
01:17:58,917 --> 01:18:01,225
Was Ruth Rosemary Harris your daughter?

1437
01:18:01,249 --> 01:18:02,558
Yes.

1438
01:18:02,582 --> 01:18:04,517
Did you love her?

1439
01:18:04,541 --> 01:18:05,434
Yes.

1440
01:18:05,458 --> 01:18:09,142
Did you love her when you
refused the blood transfusion?

1441
01:18:09,166 --> 01:18:10,624
I never stopped loving her.

1442
01:18:11,916 --> 01:18:13,308
I love her now.

1443
01:18:13,332 --> 01:18:14,332
Now?

1444
01:18:15,332 --> 01:18:17,041
Ruth is dead, Mr. Harris.

1445
01:18:18,916 --> 01:18:20,957
To be with God is not to be dead.

1446
01:18:22,541 --> 01:18:24,433
Will you do your best
to speak up, Mr. Harris,

1447
01:18:24,457 --> 01:18:25,457
what did you say?

1448
01:18:26,666 --> 01:18:29,767
I said to be with God is not to be dead.

1449
01:18:29,791 --> 01:18:31,124
How do you make that out?

1450
01:18:32,249 --> 01:18:33,433
By the evidence of the Bible

1451
01:18:33,457 --> 01:18:35,374
and the example of Jesus Christ.

1452
01:18:36,249 --> 01:18:39,058
How deep is your faith, Mr. Harris?

1453
01:18:39,082 --> 01:18:40,558
It's what I am.

1454
01:18:40,582 --> 01:18:42,058
Who taught it you?

1455
01:18:42,082 --> 01:18:42,893
My father.

1456
01:18:42,917 --> 01:18:44,183
Who taught him?

1457
01:18:44,207 --> 01:18:45,225
His father.

1458
01:18:45,249 --> 01:18:47,767
With respect to my learned friend,

1459
01:18:47,791 --> 01:18:50,975
Harris' religious convictions
are not under dispute.

1460
01:18:50,999 --> 01:18:53,183
We know the details of his faith.

1461
01:18:53,207 --> 01:18:56,683
We understand them and their
consequences only too well.

1462
01:18:56,707 --> 01:18:58,100
My lord, I'm trying to establish

1463
01:18:58,124 --> 01:19:02,225
that Mr. Harris' faith
constitutes his conscience.

1464
01:19:02,249 --> 01:19:04,017
May I then remind the court that a man

1465
01:19:04,041 --> 01:19:05,642
may reasonably and notably follow

1466
01:19:05,666 --> 01:19:07,017
the dictates of his conscience?

1467
01:19:07,041 --> 01:19:08,517
There's no guilt there.

1468
01:19:08,541 --> 01:19:10,433
Mr. Kent, I don't want to stop you

1469
01:19:10,457 --> 01:19:11,892
from behaving and speaking.

1470
01:19:11,916 --> 01:19:14,642
The way you decide may be
best for the defendant.

1471
01:19:14,666 --> 01:19:16,058
And if it will assist you,

1472
01:19:16,082 --> 01:19:18,142
I shall direct the jury that the defendant

1473
01:19:18,166 --> 01:19:21,517
is perfectly entitled to his own beliefs,

1474
01:19:21,541 --> 01:19:24,225
but that is of course
a very different matter

1475
01:19:24,249 --> 01:19:27,058
from omitting to fulfil the
duty laid down by statute,

1476
01:19:27,082 --> 01:19:29,457
which he had towards his child.

1477
01:19:29,499 --> 01:19:31,808
I'm obliged to your lordship.

1478
01:19:31,832 --> 01:19:33,558
With respect to your lordship,

1479
01:19:33,582 --> 01:19:34,892
I'm endeavouring to show the jury

1480
01:19:34,916 --> 01:19:37,041
what Mr. Harris considered his duty.

1481
01:19:38,916 --> 01:19:40,392
Mr. Harris, what did you consider

1482
01:19:40,416 --> 01:19:43,207
your paramount duty to Ruth
that night at the hospital?

1483
01:19:44,541 --> 01:19:46,100
To protect her everlasting life.

1484
01:19:46,124 --> 01:19:48,308
How did your action achieve that?

1485
01:19:48,332 --> 01:19:50,749
Now tell the jury in your
own words, Mr. Harris.

1486
01:19:52,749 --> 01:19:55,808
We live by the literal
word of the Bible.

1487
01:19:55,832 --> 01:19:57,957
We believe in its prophecies

1488
01:19:57,999 --> 01:20:00,308
and look forward to the
reward of eternal life

1489
01:20:00,332 --> 01:20:03,433
on a perfect earth if we follow God's law.

1490
01:20:03,457 --> 01:20:05,058
In which it is written,

1491
01:20:05,082 --> 01:20:08,207
"You shall eat the blood
of no manner of flesh."

1492
01:20:08,249 --> 01:20:11,100
And you interpret that to
apply to blood transfusion.

1493
01:20:11,124 --> 01:20:12,124
Yes.

1494
01:20:13,249 --> 01:20:14,933
In the original Hebrew scriptures,

1495
01:20:14,957 --> 01:20:18,832
the word "eat" means to
absorb into the body.

1496
01:20:19,832 --> 01:20:22,332
In transfusion, blood
is taken into the body.

1497
01:20:23,332 --> 01:20:25,142
If you had agreed to
a blood transfusion,

1498
01:20:25,166 --> 01:20:27,791
what do you believe would've
happened to your child?

1499
01:20:28,707 --> 01:20:30,183
By deliberately trying to prolong.

1500
01:20:30,207 --> 01:20:32,558
Ruth's earthly life in that way,

1501
01:20:32,582 --> 01:20:35,017
we would've sacrificed
her chance of resurrection

1502
01:20:35,041 --> 01:20:37,517
and everlasting life in a perfect world.

1503
01:20:37,541 --> 01:20:39,267
Why do you believe Ruth
would've been punished

1504
01:20:39,291 --> 01:20:41,892
for a decision that
was not hers but yours?

1505
01:20:41,916 --> 01:20:43,933
Because it is written
that the sins of the father

1506
01:20:43,957 --> 01:20:46,267
shall be visited upon the children.

1507
01:20:46,291 --> 01:20:49,558
And what specific grounds
do you base your belief?

1508
01:20:49,582 --> 01:20:50,749
On the written word.

1509
01:20:52,457 --> 01:20:53,666
Thank you, Mr. Harris.

1510
01:20:58,166 --> 01:20:59,517
Harris,

1511
01:20:59,541 --> 01:21:01,433
I want the jury to understand your motives

1512
01:21:01,457 --> 01:21:03,475
for the decision you took.

1513
01:21:03,499 --> 01:21:06,600
Now, will you listen very
carefully to what I have to say

1514
01:21:06,624 --> 01:21:08,600
and answer us carefully?

1515
01:21:08,624 --> 01:21:11,642
We're dealing with very
difficult theological issues.

1516
01:21:11,666 --> 01:21:13,999
So I'll put my questions
as simply as possible.

1517
01:21:15,749 --> 01:21:17,791
Now, on the night in question,

1518
01:21:18,957 --> 01:21:21,850
were you guided solely by
your religious principles?

1519
01:21:21,874 --> 01:21:22,707
Yes.

1520
01:21:22,749 --> 01:21:24,832
Is religion a selfless thing?

1521
01:21:26,624 --> 01:21:28,582
Religion's a personal thing.

1522
01:21:29,666 --> 01:21:31,225
I think it should be selfless.

1523
01:21:31,249 --> 01:21:33,225
You heard Dr. Brown's evidence?

1524
01:21:33,249 --> 01:21:34,350
Yes.

1525
01:21:34,374 --> 01:21:36,017
Is there any single part of
it with which you disagree?

1526
01:21:36,041 --> 01:21:38,350
Did it all happen as he said?

1527
01:21:38,374 --> 01:21:39,351
Yes.

1528
01:21:39,375 --> 01:21:40,749
How old was your child?

1529
01:21:42,041 --> 01:21:42,851
Eight.

1530
01:21:42,875 --> 01:21:44,433
Was she a happy child?

1531
01:21:44,457 --> 01:21:45,725
Yes, very.

1532
01:21:45,749 --> 01:21:46,957
Did you know her well?

1533
01:21:48,916 --> 01:21:50,392
Ruth, did you know her well?

1534
01:21:50,416 --> 01:21:52,392
Did she spend much time with you?

1535
01:21:52,416 --> 01:21:53,892
Yes, we went everywhere together.

1536
01:21:53,916 --> 01:21:54,957
A devoted family.

1537
01:21:57,249 --> 01:21:58,249
Very devoted.

1538
01:21:59,499 --> 01:22:01,082
Was she a religious child?

1539
01:22:02,749 --> 01:22:05,291
Ruth, was she a religious child?

1540
01:22:07,291 --> 01:22:08,101
Yes, I think...

1541
01:22:08,125 --> 01:22:09,183
"Think!"

1542
01:22:09,207 --> 01:22:10,517
What do you mean "think?"

1543
01:22:10,541 --> 01:22:12,207
Was she or wasn't she?

1544
01:22:13,624 --> 01:22:15,558
Ruth was a good child.

1545
01:22:15,582 --> 01:22:18,558
You say that your father
taught you your faith.

1546
01:22:18,582 --> 01:22:19,393
He did.

1547
01:22:19,417 --> 01:22:21,475
Did you teach that same faith to Ruth?

1548
01:22:21,499 --> 01:22:22,434
Yes.

1549
01:22:22,458 --> 01:22:23,791
Did she understand?

1550
01:22:25,916 --> 01:22:28,207
Did she understand what
you were teaching her?

1551
01:22:29,582 --> 01:22:31,582
Ruth, did she understand?

1552
01:22:32,999 --> 01:22:35,058
Well, how could I
know, she was only eight.

1553
01:22:35,082 --> 01:22:36,308
Oh,

1554
01:22:36,332 --> 01:22:38,124
but you behaved as if you did know.

1555
01:22:39,207 --> 01:22:42,499
What was your wife's religion
before she married you?

1556
01:22:45,957 --> 01:22:47,558
Church of England.

1557
01:22:47,582 --> 01:22:48,582
Church of England.

1558
01:22:49,582 --> 01:22:53,183
The mother changed her religion,
and why not the daughter?

1559
01:22:53,207 --> 01:22:54,642
I put it to you, Harris,

1560
01:22:54,666 --> 01:22:56,642
that Ruth might have grown to womanhood

1561
01:22:56,666 --> 01:22:59,600
and shed your faith like an outward skin.

1562
01:22:59,624 --> 01:23:01,475
By your own admission, she was happy.

1563
01:23:01,499 --> 01:23:03,808
She enjoyed her temporary life.

1564
01:23:03,832 --> 01:23:05,767
But you didn't pause to
think that that little girl

1565
01:23:05,791 --> 01:23:08,100
of eight years old might
want to cling to this world.

1566
01:23:08,124 --> 01:23:09,600
You hurried her into the next.

1567
01:23:09,624 --> 01:23:10,434
No.

1568
01:23:10,458 --> 01:23:12,142
Not, "no," Harris, yes.

1569
01:23:12,166 --> 01:23:13,143
No, no!

1570
01:23:13,167 --> 01:23:14,600
In my submission, you didn't take in

1571
01:23:14,624 --> 01:23:16,058
what was being said to you.

1572
01:23:16,082 --> 01:23:17,475
You weren't really thinking.

1573
01:23:17,499 --> 01:23:20,933
You relied on a miracle to
save Ruth and that's the truth.

1574
01:23:20,957 --> 01:23:23,892
Well, the miracle didn't
happen but you risked her life.

1575
01:23:23,916 --> 01:23:26,725
You put your personal
faith before her welfare

1576
01:23:26,749 --> 01:23:28,142
and you let her die.

1577
01:23:28,166 --> 01:23:30,642
You let Ruth die!

1578
01:23:35,291 --> 01:23:36,558
Mr. Harris!

1579
01:23:36,582 --> 01:23:37,749
Face the jury, please.

1580
01:23:40,541 --> 01:23:43,933
Do you miss Ruth?

1581
01:23:43,957 --> 01:23:44,893
Every moment.

1582
01:23:44,917 --> 01:23:46,392
You miss her, you loved her,

1583
01:23:46,416 --> 01:23:49,207
yet you willingly gave up to God, why?

1584
01:23:49,249 --> 01:23:50,791
Tell the jury why!

1585
01:23:53,124 --> 01:23:54,207
He's eternal.

1586
01:23:55,916 --> 01:23:56,916
Everlasting.

1587
01:23:57,874 --> 01:23:59,225
His goodness is infinite,

1588
01:23:59,249 --> 01:24:01,100
there's nothing comparable on Earth.

1589
01:24:01,124 --> 01:24:04,267
You mean to you Heaven
is a very real place.

1590
01:24:04,291 --> 01:24:05,207
Yes.

1591
01:24:05,249 --> 01:24:06,892
As real as your own living room?

1592
01:24:06,916 --> 01:24:07,916
Yes!

1593
01:24:08,749 --> 01:24:09,957
Thank you, Mr. Harris.

1594
01:24:11,666 --> 01:24:14,392
My lord, that's the
evidence of the defence.

1595
01:24:30,916 --> 01:24:32,332
What's the matter, Kline?

1596
01:24:33,499 --> 01:24:34,683
It's hot in there.

1597
01:24:34,707 --> 01:24:35,684
Courts are always hot.

1598
01:24:35,708 --> 01:24:37,558
Even in winter everybody's sweats.

1599
01:24:37,582 --> 01:24:39,267
I'm glad that part of it's over.

1600
01:24:39,291 --> 01:24:40,767
I couldn't have taken much more.

1601
01:24:40,791 --> 01:24:42,683
You know, you're like all hot heads.

1602
01:24:42,707 --> 01:24:44,350
Once you see the results
for your clamouring,

1603
01:24:44,374 --> 01:24:45,767
you want to pull out.

1604
01:24:45,791 --> 01:24:49,183
I'm not sure now if crucifying
Harris is the right answer.

1605
01:24:49,207 --> 01:24:50,933
A bit late for that, isn't it?

1606
01:24:50,957 --> 01:24:52,600
Anyway, the judge gave the right answer.

1607
01:24:52,624 --> 01:24:53,434
Hmm?

1608
01:24:53,458 --> 01:24:54,850
In law, Harris neglected the child

1609
01:24:54,874 --> 01:24:56,892
and that's manslaughter.

1610
01:24:56,916 --> 01:24:58,183
Let's hope Harris didn't affect the jury

1611
01:24:58,207 --> 01:25:00,082
the way he affected you or we're sunk.

1612
01:25:01,332 --> 01:25:02,767
You're very quiet, Brown.

1613
01:25:02,791 --> 01:25:04,933
Has the real thing disturbed you too?

1614
01:25:04,957 --> 01:25:07,725
No, the real thing for me
is still that child's death.

1615
01:25:07,749 --> 01:25:08,957
Then what's on your mind?

1616
01:25:08,999 --> 01:25:09,851
Harris.

1617
01:25:09,875 --> 01:25:11,600
He's a sick man, he
hasn't slept for nights

1618
01:25:11,624 --> 01:25:13,267
and that shock in there didn't help him.

1619
01:25:13,291 --> 01:25:14,184
What shock?

1620
01:25:14,208 --> 01:25:16,517
He saw himself.

1621
01:25:16,541 --> 01:25:18,808
You mean he realised he was a fake?

1622
01:25:18,832 --> 01:25:19,643
No, I didn't mean that.

1623
01:25:19,667 --> 01:25:22,308
Harris believes, all right,
he believes in God the Father,

1624
01:25:22,332 --> 01:25:23,767
but he found out something in the dock

1625
01:25:23,791 --> 01:25:25,808
that he's been trying not to face.

1626
01:25:25,832 --> 01:25:26,643
What?

1627
01:25:26,667 --> 01:25:27,867
Jury coming back, Mr. Clyde.

1628
01:25:43,499 --> 01:25:44,499
Silence!

1629
01:25:53,416 --> 01:25:56,142
Members of the jury, are
you agreed upon your verdict?

1630
01:25:56,166 --> 01:25:56,976
We are.

1631
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,725
Do you find the prisoner
at the bar John Paul Harris,

1632
01:25:59,749 --> 01:26:02,517
guilty or not guilty upon this indictment?

1633
01:26:02,541 --> 01:26:03,351
Not guilty.

1634
01:26:03,375 --> 01:26:05,392
You find him not guilty.

1635
01:26:05,416 --> 01:26:07,142
And that is the verdict of you all?

1636
01:26:07,166 --> 01:26:08,267
It is.

1637
01:26:08,291 --> 01:26:11,517
He's guilty!

1638
01:26:15,541 --> 01:26:16,541
Silence!

1639
01:26:17,249 --> 01:26:18,249
Silence!

1640
01:26:20,041 --> 01:26:21,041
Silence!

1641
01:26:21,749 --> 01:26:23,582
Let him be released.

1642
01:26:29,916 --> 01:26:31,082
No, I'm guilty!

1643
01:26:32,041 --> 01:26:33,041
I'm guilty!

1644
01:26:33,957 --> 01:26:35,291
He told the truth!

1645
01:26:36,249 --> 01:26:39,457
I saw myself as Abraham
when God tested his love!

1646
01:26:40,541 --> 01:26:42,142
Told him to sacrifice his son,

1647
01:26:42,166 --> 01:26:44,892
only God sent an angel to
hold back Abraham's knife

1648
01:26:44,916 --> 01:26:47,933
and I thought he'd do the same for me!

1649
01:26:47,957 --> 01:26:51,100
I never really believed she'd die.

1650
01:26:51,124 --> 01:26:53,350
I wasn't thinking about Ruth's afterlife.

1651
01:26:53,374 --> 01:26:55,957
I was thinking of a
miracle to keep her alive.

1652
01:26:56,957 --> 01:27:01,058
I sacrificed her, I sacrificed
Ruth and I'm guilty!

1653
01:27:01,082 --> 01:27:02,600
I'm guilty!

1654
01:27:26,749 --> 01:27:28,058
Jailer's office, where is it, please?

1655
01:27:28,082 --> 01:27:29,683
Over there, sir.

1656
01:27:35,957 --> 01:27:37,767
I want to see Harris, quickly, please.

1657
01:27:37,791 --> 01:27:40,392
They took him out the
back, through there.

1658
01:28:26,374 --> 01:28:27,642
I've got to pay for what I've done.

1659
01:28:27,666 --> 01:28:28,476
I killed her, I killed her!

1660
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:29,892
You can't bring her back to life again.

1661
01:28:29,916 --> 01:28:32,142
I trusted God blindly not
to take Ruth away from me.

1662
01:28:32,166 --> 01:28:33,600
I can never redeem what I've done!

1663
01:28:33,624 --> 01:28:35,249
Your God forgives, doesn't He?

1664
01:28:39,874 --> 01:28:41,332
Are you telling me to pray?

1665
01:28:42,582 --> 01:28:43,582
Yes.

1666
01:28:44,541 --> 01:28:47,058
Don't tell me you've
had a change of heart.

1667
01:28:47,082 --> 01:28:48,642
Oh no.

1668
01:28:48,666 --> 01:28:51,058
No, what I did I'd do all over again.

1669
01:28:51,082 --> 01:28:52,707
I can't bear to see life wasted.

1670
01:28:53,749 --> 01:28:54,975
That's why I want to save yours now.

1671
01:28:54,999 --> 01:28:56,975
You're too late.

1672
01:28:56,999 --> 01:28:58,457
I died in that courtroom.

1673
01:28:59,332 --> 01:29:00,975
No, it's too easy.

1674
01:29:00,999 --> 01:29:02,558
You've gotta go on living.

1675
01:29:02,582 --> 01:29:04,332
Find your God again, and this time,

1676
01:29:05,541 --> 01:29:08,332
don't load Him with the
whole responsibility.

1677
01:29:10,541 --> 01:29:12,582
You could've saved Ruth.

1678
01:29:13,624 --> 01:29:14,624
I stopped you.

1679
01:29:15,832 --> 01:29:17,933
Yes, I could've saved her.

1680
01:29:17,957 --> 01:29:18,999
I can save you now.

1681
01:29:21,957 --> 01:29:22,957
John.

1682
01:29:24,791 --> 01:29:25,791
Oh, thank God.

1683
01:29:28,416 --> 01:29:29,416
Come home.

1684
01:29:31,166 --> 01:29:33,124
Ruth would always stand between us.

1685
01:29:34,499 --> 01:29:36,207
We must learn to live with that.

1686
01:29:41,582 --> 01:29:42,957
- John?
- Let him go.

1687
01:29:45,499 --> 01:29:46,499
Yes.

1688
01:29:47,624 --> 01:29:48,957
If he's going to come back,

1689
01:29:50,166 --> 01:29:51,332
he was come by himself.

1690
01:30:21,249 --> 01:30:22,249
Ruth.

1691
01:30:26,582 --> 01:30:27,582
Ruth.

1692
01:30:31,374 --> 01:30:33,558
] Give me my ball!

1693
01:30:33,582 --> 01:30:34,808
Come on!
