summer if i remember rightly

195
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:25,839
but we were anxiously waiting

196
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,399
[Music]

197
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,680

that's what i thought that's what i

204
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,560
thought mr fowle when they painted my

205
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,040
name up on my london chambers

206
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:52,639
it was my own room soon it would be

207
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,200
filled with clients

208
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:56,800
criminals financiers mysterious ladies

209
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,120
in distress

210
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,240
so i wrote to the only woman in my life

211
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,519
to tell her

212
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,959
perhaps in five years time when i built

213
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:08,240
up my practice

214
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:10,399
i might make a certain proposal

215
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:21,839
meanwhile i could afford to kill a

216
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:21,839
little time with the crossword

217
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:38,399
doing some pretty big cases now

218
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:41,760
dance of large fruit two words

219
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:44,320
three and five you're not still at it

220
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,519
i'm still waiting for a brief but you

221
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,880
were you must be better at the

222
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:49,600
crosswords now

223
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,360
not very much as the years pass there

224
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,880
come to be clues you can no longer

225
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,079
understand

226
00:13:52,880 --> 00:14:00,839
so all that training wasted the talents

227
00:13:56,079 --> 00:14:03,839
rust and the lady went down with her

228
00:14:00,839 --> 00:14:03,839
ship

229
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:12,160
tragic yes it was

230
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:17,279
tragic my wife was never called up value

231
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,600
we must carry on about you that's what

you're here too i am here to defend you

234
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,600
can't be done why ever not i know who

235
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:45,839
killed her

236
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:45,839
who me

237
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:55,519
really mr fowl i

238
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,720
have all the respect in the world for

239
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:59,360
your opinions

240
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,560
but we must face this you're a man of

241
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,240
very little education

242
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,720
that's true i mean one is only to glance

243
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:08,399
at you to see that you are a person of

244
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:11,440
well very limited intelligence great

245
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:16,079
great great great quite frankly

246
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,079
you think you killed your wife

247
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,399
seems so to me mr val look at yourself

248
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,800
objectively

249
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:26,000
now on questions of birdseed i have no

250
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,720
doubt at all that you may be in family

251
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,279
but on a vital point like this might you

252
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,160
not be

253
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:34,240
mistaken don't answer that before you

254
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,480
drop the bomb of a reply

255
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,519
consider who will be wounded are the

256
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,279
innocents to suffer

257
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:43,440
i only want to be honest but you're a

258
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:46,480
criminal mr fowler

259
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,920
you've broken through the narrow fabric

260
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,560
of honesty

261
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:55,839
you are free to be kind be human

262
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,839
and to do good

263
00:15:56,079 --> 00:16:03,680
news but what i did to her was

264
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:06,959
mr fowle she's passed out of your life

265
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,839
you've set up new relationships

266
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:09,839
you've picked out me

267
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,399
picked out yes selected

268
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,759
i didn't know no of course not that's

269
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:20,720
the whole beauty of the thing

270
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:22,000
you didn't know me you came to me under

271
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,040
a system of chance

272
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,079
invented like the football pools to even

273
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:30,000
out the

274
00:16:26,079 --> 00:16:33,600
harsh inequalities of the world you see

275
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:36,000
you dear val are my

276
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000

278
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,959
can yes

279
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:52,000
now then criminals who have no money and

280
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:54,560
their friends

281
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,320

282
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,079
to choose any barrister sitting in the

283
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:01,040
courts to defend them

284
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:02,839
barrister gets brief and is uh

285
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,799
remunerated on a modest

286
00:17:02,839 --> 00:17:09,360
scale busy lawyers wealthy lawyers

287
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:10,079
lawyers with nice well-paid cases coming

288
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:12,160
on

289
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:13,730
leave the court at the double when a doc

290
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,480
brief is about to be given away

291
00:17:13,730 --> 00:17:19,520
[Music]

292
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,600
we regulars who are not busy sit on i've

293
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,880
been a regular for years

294
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,839
we sit and we hope we hope one day to be

295
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,919
chosen

296
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:29,760
it's not etiquette you see foul however

297
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:30,720
badly you want the work to wave at the

298
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,200
prisoner or

299
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,919
whistle or try to catch his eye by

300
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:39,520
hoisting some sort of little flare

301
00:17:35,919 --> 00:17:42,720
i didn't know but what you can do is

302
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,880
choose the most advantageous seat

303
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,960
the seat any criminal would naturally

304
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,080
point at it's the seat

305
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,640
under the window and for ten years my

306
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,720
old friend tuppy morgan bagged it each

307
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,960
day at 10.

308
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,000
almost once a year a criminal pointed

309
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,640
him out

310
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,120
mr fowle top he was a limpet on that

311
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,039
seat

312
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:08,240
was he but this morning something

313
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:09,520
possibly a cold perhaps death kept him

314
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,200
indoors

315
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,000
so i had his place and you spotted me no

316
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,039
doubt

317
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,080
my glasses polished my profile drawn and

318
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:22,880
learned in front of the great window

319
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,880
i never noticed

320
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:30,160
i never noticed but

321
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:34,480
when they asked you to choose a lawyer

322
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,720
uh well i i just shut my eyes and

323
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:43,440
pointed

324
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:46,400
so even you mr farr didn't choose me

325
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,400
not all together

326
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:55,039
law is a haphazard business isn't it yes

327
00:18:51,360 --> 00:19:00,240
um it does seem a bit uh

328
00:18:55,039 --> 00:19:03,200
chauncey of course mr fowle you are

329
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,200
very fortunate

330
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:11,039
oh yes yes i must confess you

331
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:12,960
hurt me temporarily

332
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:15,520
might have been kinder to have kept me

333
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,520
in ignorance

334
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,080

birds that thought was uppermost

586
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:34,880

00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:53,359
against the case like you and still be

594
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,839
far from a solution

00:37:55,839 --> 00:37:58,800

now my lord i ask your lordship sleeve

647
00:41:02,319 --> 00:41:06,640
to call the

648
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:11,280
surprise witness certainly

649
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,280
what certainly

650
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,760
the heavens this is like practicing

00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,760
bullfights with a kitten

652
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,760
here is an irregular application by the

653
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,119
defense something that might twist the

654
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,640
trial in the prisoner's favor

655
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:25,119
and prevent you catching your connection

656
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,640
attaining cross your breakfast is like a

657
00:41:25,119 --> 00:41:28,880
lead weight on your stomach

658
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,880
the dog brick your ankle on the way

659
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,119
downstairs now then

660
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,839
blind yourself with rage and terrible

661
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:35,839
justice

662
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:42,079
no you might not call a surprise witness

663
00:41:39,359 --> 00:41:42,079
that's better

664
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:49,440
my lord if your lordship would listen to

665
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,599
me

666
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,960
certainly not you've had your chance

667
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:56,960
let's get on with it

668
00:41:52,960 --> 00:42:00,240
my lord justice must not only be done

669
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:03,760
but must clearly be seen to be done

670
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:05,680
no one knows as yet what my surprise

671
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,839
witness will say

672
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,800
perhaps he will say that the prisoner

673
00:42:07,839 --> 00:42:10,960
there

674
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,960
is as guilty in his black heart as your

675
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:16,640
lordship thinks

676
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:20,000
but perhaps gentleman of the jury

677
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:24,240
perhaps we may have trapped

678
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,040
an innocent if so shall we deny him

679
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:29,119
the one door through which he might walk

680
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:33,680
to freedom

681
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:33,680
public outcry would never die down here

682
00:42:33,839 --> 00:42:40,640
here what was that

683
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:42,480
the public outcry ah yes

684
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,000

no very hard

746
00:46:17,359 --> 00:46:22,880
anyway anyway i think we pulled your

747
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:26,319
chestnut out of the fire

748
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:29,839

this fellow jones

750
00:46:29,839 --> 00:46:38,240

i uh i don't know

752
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:43,839
a very good fella but don't interrupt my

753
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,839
thinking there's a good phenomenon

754
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:57,839
um we have no

755
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:57,839
surprise witness we made him up

756
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:20,400
foul yes it's a remarkable thing

757
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:23,599
but with no legal training at all

758
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,079
you've put your finger on the one fatal

759
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:26,880
weakness

760
00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:26,880
in our defense

761
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:39,839
i was afraid it might be so

762
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:49,520
hardly we better just give in

763
00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:52,160
we do not give in foul not when my life

764
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:55,520
depends on this case

765
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:59,839
ah i forgot whatever we

766

doctor did you say the lady died of

900
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,200
heart failure

901
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:51,040
no now come along doctor don't fence

902
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,359
with me her heart wasn't normal when you

903
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:58,480
examined it was it

904
00:54:53,359 --> 00:54:58,480
she was dead so it had stopped

905
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:07,760
yes then her heart had failed

906
00:55:04,319 --> 00:55:10,880
well uh she had died indeed

907
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:13,760
of heart failure ah

908
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,520
but and heart failure might have been

909
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:18,319
brought on by a fit

910
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:21,839
i see a fit of laughter at a curiously

911
00:55:18,319 --> 00:55:21,839
rich joke on the wireless

912
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:37,280
i'm very kind though very kind but uh

913
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:39,599
hollow hollow i don't think my tech on

914
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:42,559
the doctor was at all convincing well

915
00:55:39,599 --> 00:55:43,760
a bit unlikely but clever clever clever

916
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:45,760
too clever

917
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,400
too clever no no no no we're not going

918
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:52,319
to win this case on science fair

919
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:54,319
science must be thrown out of the window

920
00:55:52,319 --> 00:55:55,440
i mean as i asked those questions i

921
00:55:54,319 --> 00:55:57,200
could see

922
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,079
that i wasn't even convincing you of

923
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,079
your own innocence

924
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,880

as i do you know the

927

power of words

929
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:19,440
well now you're talking and i shall talk

930
00:56:17,119 --> 00:56:20,319
oh if only i could hear some of it words

931
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:25,440
as

932
00:56:20,319 --> 00:56:28,640

out of hell

935
00:56:32,319 --> 00:56:38,640

yes oh well i was just i was just

937
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,440
drawing on the

938
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:46,559
riches of my classical education

939
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:48,559

sort

941
00:56:48,559 --> 00:56:52,480
yes but i shall speak to the jury quite

942
00:56:51,359 --> 00:56:55,200
simply

943
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,200
quite simply

944
00:56:55,680 --> 00:57:00,640
i shall say yes

945
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,599
anyway i wouldn't disappoint you no no

perhaps even two days

949
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:21,040
and at the end i shall say quite simply

950
00:57:17,599 --> 00:57:24,240
that the closing words yes to clinch

951
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:26,880
the argument the final final irrefutable

952
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,880
argument if

953
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:41,839
and as i sink back exhausted

954
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:41,839

01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:15,840
hmm well it seems that the

1144
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:19,199
uh trial was

1145
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:22,960
no good at all oh good

1146
01:11:19,199 --> 01:11:26,080
but why oh

1147
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:28,320
no particular reason mr fowle

1148
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:30,000
there must be a reason nothing happens

1149
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:33,040
in law without a reason

1150
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,120
for you won't care to hear

1151
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,560
tell me why this governor who knows

1152
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:40,480
nothing of the law should have called

1153
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:42,480
our one and only trial together no good

1154
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:44,080
mr fowl you must answer me my legal

1155
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:44,480
career may depend on it if i'm not to

1156
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,400
have

1157
01:11:44,480 --> 01:11:48,400
wasted my life on useless trials

1158
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:55,679
you really want to know yes

1159
01:11:52,840 --> 01:12:00,239
yes yes

1160
01:11:55,679 --> 01:12:00,239
well he said that the um

1161
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:07,600
the barrister they chose for me

1162
01:12:04,159 --> 01:12:11,280
was no good an old croc

1163
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:12,480
in his words that he never said a word

1164
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:16,960
in my defense and

1165
01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:16,960
uh so my case never got to the jury

1166
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:22,800
he he said the whole thing was

1167
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:37,840
ever so null and void but i'd better be

1168
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:37,840
careful in the future

1169
01:12:44,719 --> 01:12:50,400
don't you see it if i'd had a barrister

1170
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:54,000
who'd ask questions

1171
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:57,440
and made clever speeches

1172
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,440
i'd be as dead as mutton

1173
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,280
your artfulness paid off

1174
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:07,920
the art for way you handled it the the

1175
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,920
dumb tactics

1176
01:13:08,159 --> 01:13:19,840
it saved me

1177
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,159

1178
01:13:30,719 --> 01:13:33,840

1188
01:14:21,440 --> 01:14:24,800

1189
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:27,360
might commit some

1190
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,000
rather more trivial offence the man

1191
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,840
cannot live

1192
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:31,280
mr morgan hall without committing some

1193
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:35,679
trivial offence almost

order to iron out such

1207
