00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,680
Help me.

5
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,800
Help me!

6
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,040
And in.

7
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,400
And slowly out.

8
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,240
And again, please.

9
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,759
Did I survive another year, Doctor?

10
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,999
Your as fit as a lop,
as they say up here.

11
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,759
No idea what it means.

12
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Lived here 26 years, still no idea
what anyone's saying.

13
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,879
Tell me, Chief Inspector,
when does it hurt the most?

14
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040
First thing in the morning
or last thing at night?

15
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,400
Your phone.

16
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,480
No, I can't remember, either, pet.

17
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,760
I don't miss her less
as time passes.

18
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,720
I just...

19
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,599
Just miss her differently.

20
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,919
How long?

21
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,200
Four years, three months,
two weeks and...

22
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,199
It's the never again,
you know? Never.

23
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,159
Do you talk about this to anybody?

24
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,599
No.

25
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Your sergeant, perhaps?

26
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,479
Oh, yeah, that's a thought.

27
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,959
Is she identified? 'Who?'

28
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,479
Is the woman identified?
'Which woman?'

29
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,759
Which woman do you think
I'm talking about?!

30
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,359
Twiggy? The woman in the car.

31
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,719
Listen, tell them, do not
move that car until I get there,

32
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,119
is that understood? 'Aye.'

33
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,919
And where's Gently? Has anybody
found him? Has he gone fishing?

34
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:28,919
I bet he has! I bet he's gone
fishing and not told anyone!

35
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:30,919
'We don't know where he is.'

36
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:34,279
Great, thanks, George. Thanks. I'll
look after the dead woman, shall I?

37
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,519
On my only day off this month.
Thanks, pal!

38
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,119
Do you believe in dreams? Try me.

39
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,639
I've been having the same one
recently, time and time again.

40
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,039
I go back to a house that
I used to live in.

41
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,560
And she tells me she'll
meet me again later. Your wife?

42
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,399
Can't see her face.

43
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Then I go through the door,
I'm glad to be back...

44
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,039
and then slowly I realise that
everything's different.

45
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,199
All the rooms are different.

46
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,639
Different shapes, different sizes,
different things in them.

47
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,040
Everything's changed.

48
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:23,519
And then...

49
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,439
And then? Then there's water coming
down the walls and across the floor,

50
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,199
and I'm drowning.

51
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,440
Helpless and drowning.

52
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,479
Morning, sir.

53
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,200
Good morning, John.

54
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,279
Right, well, I wanted to have a
look before they disturbed it.

55
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,600
Got a girl here with
a bruise on her head.

56
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,120
Could've been unconscious.

57
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,679
Let's hope so.

58
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,040
This was in the car.

59
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,919
What about the driver?

60
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,399
Ah, there's no sign of him.

61
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,959
The metal's caved in by the impact.

62
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,760
And her left foot, it's trapped.
You can see it.

63
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,640
OK? Right, let's cut her out!

64
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,039
I don't think she was unconscious.

65
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,879
Well, either way,
he didn't call for help.

66
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,159
Panic maybe,
because he'd nicked the car.

67
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,079
Young man, too much to drink. Or an
older one with a wife somewhere.
He left her to drown!

68
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,999
She was helpless.

69
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,560
Dead and alone out here. All night.

70
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,039
I woke up with a complete stranger
next to us this morning.

71
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,919
Some men pay money for that.

72
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,639
Should have seen the state of her.

73
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,519
It's like waking up next to
somebody's grandma.

74
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,920
Hair was sticking up, and...

75
00:06:21,921 --> 00:06:24,480
Two secs.

76
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,359
Yes?

77
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,119
'The Austin A40 is registered to
Hector Blackstone.' Guv.

78
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,199
'The address is Abberwick Hall.'

79
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,239
We got a trace on the vehicle.

80
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,759
Say that again for Mr Gently,
will you, please?

81
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,839
'Abberwick Hall.'
Registered to Hector Blackstone.

82
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,279
He's the 13th Earl of Guyzance,
don't you know!

83
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:51,919
Friend of yours? No, no,
but I know his son pretty well.
James Blackstone.

84
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,839
I've nicked him twice for being
drunk in charge of a vehicle.

85
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,959
And...? Mummy and Daddy hired
expensive lawyers.

86
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,959
And Mummy and Daddy waved a magic
wand over the charge sheet,

87
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,359
which then magically
disappeared into thin air.

88
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,959
And then Mummy and Daddy got me
reprimanded for victimisation... Yes?

89
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,359
Nothing on her, sir,
except this key.

90
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,479
Thank you.
We haven't even got her name.

91
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,319
I bet you 100 quid

92
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,839
the Right Hon James Blackstone
will know her name.
Why don't you go and ask him?

93
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,679
Nicely!

94
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:46,359
Are we nearly there?
I mean, how much of England
is one bloke allowed to own?

95
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,399
Do we get to Abberwick Hall
if we keep going?

96
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,839
Did yous come through
a big gate marked Abberwick Hall?

97
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,639
Aye. And have yous turned off
the road since?

98
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,120
You got a cold or summat?

99
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:18,879
Throat cancer.

100
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,720
Oh.

101
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,319
You look more intelligent.

102
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,279
Faint praise.
Hey, I've got four O-levels, me.

103
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,199
Tell us who wrote this
and I'll tell yous the way.

104
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,439
We don't have time for
double your money, pal, all right?

105
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,959
Who is there that has not
jeered at the House of Lords,

106
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,439
the military caste, the
Royal Family, the public schools,

107
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,719
the hunting and shooting set, the
horrors of a country society?

108
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,559
No, I'm sorry, I've no idea.
Rudyard Kipling.

109
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,239
Kipling was a king and country
imperialist, you clot.

110
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,919
George Orwell.

111
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,679
And Orwell knew summat that gets
forgot these days.

112
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:09,119
The English ruling class are not
as stupid as they look.

113
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,639
Look at the workers in Paris
last night.

114
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,239
Pulling up the pavements
and chucking them at the boss class.

115
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,759
Now look at me,

116
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,039
repairing the boss's fences to keep
his deer oot of his rose gardens.

117
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,879
Makes you think about this country,
doesn't it, bonny lad?

118
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,759
Sorry?

119
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,240
200 yards.

120
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,799
Hang onto your wallets! They'll
have the rings off your fingers!

121
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,200
They've stole England
from the workers!

122
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,280
What the hell was all that about?

123
00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:49,520
Did you ever meet the Earl
and his good lady?

124
00:09:49,521 --> 00:09:53,039
Oh, no!
Goodness, golly gosh, me? No.

125
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,679
No.
I was never granted an audience.

126
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:00,159
But if they're anything
like the son, get ready to throw up.

127
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,599
Inspector Gently,
Sergeant Bacchus, I'm so sorry.

128
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,919
I was in the stables,
working on my motorcycles.

129
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,359
Something about a car, I'm told?

130
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,119
Yes, a car registered to you
has been involved in
a fatal accident, sir.

131
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,839
Hector, just call me Hector.

132
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,519
Is your son in at the minute,
there, Hector?

133
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,879
Fatal to whom? A young woman,
early 20s, late teens.

134
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,359
Does your son have a girlfriend,
Hector?

135
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,599
Which car was this?
Austin A90. A40.

136
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,919
A40 Farina, blue,
registration number BOJ 174C.

137
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,199
Are you saying that you weren't even
aware that this car was missing?

138
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,759
Totally. Any chance of talking to
your son, Hector, please?

139
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,079
I'm not sure if he's even here,
Sergeant.

140
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,880
My wife may know.

141
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,519
Have you seen my wife, Colin?

142
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,959
She's through there, sir.
Just in there.

143
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Alethea?

144
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,999
Ah, there you are!
These two gentlemen...
Just give me a second.

145
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,759
This man, Cohn-Bendit - someone
should shoot him, shouldn't they?

146
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,440
Like they did the German, Red Rudi.

147
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,559
"Be realistic,
demand the impossible." The naivety!

148
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:40,919
Do they really think
they can overturn

149
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,919
the natural order of things
by throwing a few stones?

150
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,999
De Gaulle's run away, of course.

151
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,959
Chief Inspector Gently, Sergeant
Bacchus. Is there a problem?

152
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,399
A fatality. A young woman.

153
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,919
Oh, dear. We found your husband's
car, Mrs Blackstone...

154
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,119
I beg your pardon?
You hard of hearing?

155
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,000
My wife prefers to be Your Ladyship.

156
00:12:01,001 --> 00:12:03,559
Well, I wouldn't mind being
Bobby Charlton, but...

157
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,599
Your Ladyship, an Austin car
belonging to your husband

158
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,479
was found five miles away,
upside down in the river...

159
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,400
with a dead girl inside.

160
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,039
Well, then.
Somebody's stolen one of our cars.

161
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,919
Is it a write-off?

162
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,079
Don't you care about the dead girl?

163
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,960
Why should I care about a car thief?

164
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:34,479
What if it wasn't stolen?

165
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,839
What other explanation is there?

166
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,399
Is your son at home? He may be.

167
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,919
It is a large house.

168
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,679
Would you like me
to organise a search party?

169
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:46,959
Was he here last night?
We had supper together.

170
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:53,839
Hector was at one of his...
musical self-flagellation evenings
in the village.

171
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,199
Musical what, sorry?

172
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,839
My husband likes
the music of downtrodden workers.

173
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,239
Fiddles and squeezeboxes,

174
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,559
starving children,
wicked mine owners,

175
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,799
tragic underground explosions.

176
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,319
Singers with their fingers
in their ears.

177
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,959
That sort of thing.

178
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,039
So you stayed in with your son?

179
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:22,279
Mm-hm. James and I sat talking
and playing backgammon.

180
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,919
I kissed him good night...
at 1.00am.

181
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,399
And you haven't seen him
this morning?

182
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,599
I'm his mother, not his maid.

183
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,279
Could you go and find your son? Now.

184
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,279
What sort of school did you go to,
Sergeant?

185
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,719
One with an outside lav.

186
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,800
And did they teach you the word
"please"?

187
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,039
Please.

188
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,320
Thank you.

189
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,678
When did you last use your car, sir?

190
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,160
It was the Austin, you say?

191
00:14:01,161 --> 00:14:02,519
Yeah.

192
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,959
How many cars you got?

193
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,719
Well, there are seven or eight
dotted around the estate,

194
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,839
all registered to my name
for insurance purposes,

195
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,240
but intended for common use.

196
00:14:11,241 --> 00:14:14,679
Austin A40 Farina.
Blue. Registration number...

197
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,519
No idea when I last drove it.

198
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,599
I tend to avoid cars if at all
possible. Prefer my motorcycles.

199
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,919
So, you don't know who the girl was,
then? No, no, not yet.

200
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,279
You say various people had
access to this car?

201
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,839
It's a very large estate.

202
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,599
Who keeps the ignition keys?

203
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,239
Actually, they're usually just
kept in the cars.

204
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,839
Right. Well, I'm going to need
a list of all the employees, then.

205
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720
Of course. Right.
More money than sense.

206
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,959
My wife has misremembered one thing,
Inspector.

207
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,559
James did in fact come down to the
village last night

208
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,759
to hear the music.

209
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,959
He then had a late supper
with his mother on his return.

210
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,119
But not you?

211
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,479
No, I went straight to my rooms.

212
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,679
Your wife's a very forceful woman.

213
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,719
Alethea's my second wife,
hence the discrepancy in our ages.

214
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,759
My first wife died 30 years ago.

215
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,999
Bonny. That was her name.

216
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,399
Though, in fact, she was very bonny.

217
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,520
An incurable disease.

218
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,199
Do you still miss her?

219
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,399
Miss her? Well, that would be
disloyal, wouldn't it?

220
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,799
Guv! >

221
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,719
Guv!

222
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,080
Excuse me.

223
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,039
You found him, then.

224
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,719
Ah! Of course. It would be you.

225
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,759
Oh, um...

226
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,159
Bacchus. Sergeant Bacchus.
Yes, of course.
How splendid to see you again.

227
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,319
Ohh. That's a nasty cut
you've got there, Your Highness.

228
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Did you get that playing backgammon?

229
00:16:07,161 --> 00:16:08,439
Sergeant.

230
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,159
I actually don't mind what
he calls me, Chief Inspector.

231
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,399
Well, I do. So now, then,
how did you come by that injury?

232
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,119
I fell into the French windows
and broke a pane.

233
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,639
Can anybody corroborate that?

234
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,319
I can. If you're actually
doubting my son's word.

235
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,280
So how did you come to
walk into a pane of glass?

236
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,879
Um... Brandy.

237
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,359
When was this, exactly?

238
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,599
I can't exactly remember.

239
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,439
Can't remember? A whack like that?
Of course he can remember. It...
I'm not asking you, I'm asking him.

240
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760
It was just after supper.

241
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,199
Yes. It was... just after supper.
Just after supper. Yeah.

242
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,919
I'd like you to come
down to headquarters.
Are you harassing my son again?

243
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,639
No, I'm asking him
to come down to headquarters.
Are you arresting my son?

244
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,719
No, but if he doesn't come
voluntarily, I will arrest him.

245
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,439
A lawyer will be present at all
times. You don't need a lawyer. He's
not being charged with anything.

246
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,119
Our solicitor will be
present at all times.
Hector, get on the phone. Come on.

247
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:07,999
Mr Gently,
you had better be SO careful.

248
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,439
You know, this could go
very badly for you.

249
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,840
Do you know what makes me laugh,
Your Battleship?

250
00:17:12,841 --> 00:17:14,839
Your career prospects?

251
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,839
After all your greed and all
your wealth and all your privileges

252
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,519
and it's all been shown up,

253
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,239
and the whole country is laughing
at you for wearing tweed underwear

254
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,399
and shooting furry animals
and going, "Oh yah, yah, Gertrude",

255
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,599
you still think you should be
running the country, don't you?

256
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,279
You know, when I first met you,
I took you as one of those

257
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,719
angry young men with
a chip on his shoulder.

258
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,158
But now I see you're actually
quite well balanced.

259
00:17:38,159 --> 00:17:40,120
You have a chip on both
your shoulders.

260
00:17:40,121 --> 00:17:44,439
Oooh. You're for the knacker's yard,
Mrs Blacksmith. Sergeant!

261
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,879
Tell me, Sergeant,
who DOES run the country?

262
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,199
Grammar school boys like Mr Wilson?

263
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,759
Clever little men like David Frost?

264
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,679
The boilermakers' union?
The Marxists at the BBC?

265
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,840
The Royal Shakespeare Homo Company?

266
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,239
OK, you're the expert on
the Right Hon James Blackstone.

267
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,599
Let's have it. He's 24.

268
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,399
He's just resigned his commission
in the Coldstream Guards,

269
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,959
which was Hector's regiment.

270
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,999
Studied at Marlborough public school,

271
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,039
then went on to
St Edmund Hall, Oxford.

272
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,559
Apparently, that's where the
thick ones with money get in.

273
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,480
Says who? I asked a friend of mine.

274
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,319
Good work, Sergeant. How many
O-levels did you say you got?

275
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,239
General science, biology, German
and technical drawing, OK?

276
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,519
Fully rounded human being!
Look, are we discussing me or him?

277
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,479
Sorry, go on, carry on.

278
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,959
Right. Continuing the military theme,

279
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,199
he got made General of the
Bullingdon Club.

280
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,439
Their main activity is getting
plastered, smashing restaurants up,

281
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,360
throwing loads of money on the floor

282
00:18:46,361 --> 00:18:49,799
and then leaving with
stupid, smug grins on their faces.

283
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,319
Now about to take up a position -
"take up a position"...

284
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,439
that's known to the rest of us
as getting a job...

285
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,079
in the City, at Lloyd's, where
he'll no doubt sit on his backside

286
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,599
until it's time to shoot pheasants
or murder young women in car crashes.

287
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,719
One of the two. I don't think
James'll be sitting on his backside.

288
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,439
Not with a mother like that.

289
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,839
Sir? Busy!

290
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,640
Bob Anderton's ready for you, sir.

291
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,799
Unknown female,
approximately 20 years of age.

292
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,159
No distinguishing marks or features,

293
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,799
except the fingers are
cut and scratched.

294
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,399
Death was by drowning.

295
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,159
What about this bruise on her head?

296
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,439
Consistent with the crash,
but a glancing blow.

297
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,359
I doubt whether she lost
consciousness. Sexually active.

298
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,279
Recent? I'd say fairly recent.

299
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,999
The fingernails on the left hand
are much more worn than the right.

300
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,599
Presumably she was scrabbling
at the door with that hand.

301
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,880
Or because she plays
the violin, yes?

302
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,520
Anything else
I should know at this point, Bob?

303
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,839
Yes. The blood sample on the
metal frame, driver's side...

304
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,479
Oh, aye? Yeah.

305
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,559
It's a pretty rare type, actually.
Might help you.

306
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,320
A2B positive.

307
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,839
After all night in the river?

308
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,239
Apparently the car
was at a slight angle.

309
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Not all the frame was submerged.

310
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,600
I see.

311
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,640
OK, well, I think we're
done here, thanks.

312
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,799
Did James Blackstone have a
rare blood group?

313
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,640
Oh, I can't remember.
Why don't we go and ask him?

314
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,760
I'll ask the questions.
You take a back seat.

315
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,080
Sir. Assistant Chief Constable's
waiting for you in your office.

316
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,959
Ah!

317
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,919
Your questioning of His Lordship
will take place here,

318
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,999
with Mrs Acklington in attendance.

319
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,199
I'll remain but will play no part.

320
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,439
Oh, I think you already have, sir.

321
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,159
This is not for discussion,
Chief Inspector.

322
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,520
It's a necessary precaution,
given the history.

323
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,319
How would you like me
to address you?

324
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,359
James is fine.

325
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:40,200
Very well. James.

326
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,359
May I ask you once again how you
came by that cut on your head?

327
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:48,199
You don't have to answer that.

328
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,439
Well, he's already told us, in fact,
that he fell into a window frame,

329
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,200
whilst under
the influence of alcohol.

330
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,359
Would he care to elaborate on that?

331
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,479
Were the French windows open
or closed, for instance?

332
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,360
They were open.

333
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,639
I was talking to my mother.

334
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,279
Not paying attention properly.

335
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,560
WHY were they open?
That's what French windows are for.

336
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Quite. So, were you on the inside
or on the outside?

337
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,720
We were outside.

338
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,279
Just the two of you? Yes.

339
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,599
No-one else to distract you?

340
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,079
No, I was drunk.

341
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,439
Yeah,
you were drinking with your father.

342
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,759
At a musical event in the village.

343
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,519
Although Her Ladyship had
previously told me

344
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,879
that you were at home having supper
and playing backgammon.
So, which is true?

345
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,279
The countess isn't here
to answer questions.
The question is for James.

346
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:00,119
They're both true. James and his
father came back about 11.

347
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:01,839
So why did you first tell me...

348
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,239
The countess isn't here to
answer questions.

349
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,720
Well, she has no problems
answering for her son, I notice!

350
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,399
James, we have a car
upside down in a shallow river,

351
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,239
and a young girl dead. Do you know
what happened to her last night?

352
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,039
The Chief Inspector must ask
specific questions,

353
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,799
not go on a fishing trip.

354
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,319
Agreed. I'm asking James what he
knows about a young girl

355
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,799
whose life ended in the early
hours of this morning.

356
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,399
Trapped, frightened
and helpless in a metal tomb,

357
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,400
waiting for the cold river water to
enter her lungs and drown her.

358
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,640
Just a name would help.

359
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,480
A little bit of dignity for her?

360
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,519
I...I think I might know her.

361
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,079
Put a stop to this. James, there's
absolutely no obligation to...

362
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Why might you know her, James?

363
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Just, um...

364
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,399
Just if... if she's local,
I might recognise her.

365
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,320
Certainly.
Would you like to see her?

366
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,279
She's here, just down the corridor.

367
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,119
Yes, I would. Very much.

368
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:26,039
Stop this. James, I forbid this!
I strongly object
to this procedure...

369
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,519
Mr Blackstone has very kindly agreed
to assist in identifying the body.

370
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,560
This way, James.

371
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,160
You said you could control this man!

372
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,880
Come on.

373
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Down there.

374
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:13,600
James?

375
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,400
Ellen.

376
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,400
Her name is Ellen.

377
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,320
No, no, no. You can't touch her.

378
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280
You can never touch her again.

379
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040
Never? No, never.

380
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Were you driving the car, James?

381
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,200
James, were you driving the car?

382
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,599
Your son's waiting for you
in reception.

383
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,199
What did he tell you?

384
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,360
Just the dead girl's name.
Nothing more.

385
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,920
Aren't you curious to
know what it is?

386
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,920
Yes, of course. Ellen Mallam.

387
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,999
Oh, well, that begins to make sense.
Her father works for us.

388
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,959
Oh. Does he have access to the car?

389
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,359
He's free to use it any time.

390
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:43,799
Gosh.
What a run of bad luck he's had.

391
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:49,359
He lost his wife, lost his job
at the pit, throat cancer,

392
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:51,599
now this.

393
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,160
Throat cancer? Mm-hm.

394
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,120
Yous want to buy a compass, you two.

395
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,159
Straight past the House of Lords
stable block.

396
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,759
Go quiet, cos they're fast asleep
in the afternoons.

397
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,359
Turn right at the
Profumo swimming pool,

398
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:25,480
over the bridge at the
Christine Keeler goldfish pond...

399
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,199
Billy Mallam?

400
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,240
Aye.

401
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,919
I went over the water to see
Ellen Wilkinson speak

402
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,279
the day the Jarrow March set out.

403
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,560
The Fiery Spark, they called her.

404
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,639
You know,
she had that thing about her.

405
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,799
You moved towards her, you know?

406
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,600
And I thought to myself - and
I hadn't even met her mother yet...

407
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,600
if I ever have a girl child,
I'll call her Ellen.

408
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,000
And my Ellen had
that fiery spark, an' all.

Oh, she made me blush sometimes.

470
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,239
She reminded him of his first wife,
I think.

471
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,319
OK, yeah. So, Hector was there.

472
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,359
Why was James there?

473
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,759
I don't know.

474
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080
But I do know he never
took his eyes off Ellen all night.

493
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,959
One last time, Ellen Mallam!

494
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,279
If you want to hear her do one more,
you better let her know.

495
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,279
Thank you.

496
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,439
Beautiful, darling, beautiful.

497
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,480
Very kind. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

498
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,879
Did James have a gash
on his head, Mr Mallam?

499
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,999
A gash? Aye. No, why? Sure?

500
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,640
Has he got one now, like?

501
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,399
He says he walked
into the French windows.

502
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,880
He's done this before, you know?

503
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,000
Crashed cars and got away with it.

504
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,239
Can you think of any reason
why Ellen would be in a car

505
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,560
with James Blackstone
late last night?

506
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,679
'They were talking,
after the concert.

507
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,160
'What were they talking about?
They were too far away.

508
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,839
'I just remember thinking,

509
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,239
' "There he goes again,
drunk behind the wheel."

510
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,759
'Well, her coach was at 3am.'

511
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,919
Could he have been offering
to come back later

512
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,079
and give her a lift to
the coach station in Newcastle?

513
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,919
She did say she had a lift.

514
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,759
With James?
Well, I assumed Anthony.

515
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,519
Anthony?

516
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,279
Oh, Anthony Baugh,
the guitarist that's writing a book?

517
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,919
Why did you assume that?

518
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,039
Cos that's what usually happened.
They were close.

519
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:34,199
They grew up together.
Has he got a car?
No, he uses the ones off the estate.

520
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,880
So, if he thought he might be
needing a car last night, he...

521
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,439
So sorry, Inspector.
Billy, this is appalling.

522
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,919
This is appalling!

523
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,279
I'm sorry, I just wanted...

524
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,240
It's all right we'd finished anyway.

525
00:34:52,241 --> 00:34:53,959
We want to speak to Anthony Baugh.

526
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,319
I'm afraid he's not here today.

527
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:02,199
Could he have borrowed the Austin
yesterday? Yes, of course.
He frequently takes a car.

528
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,639
We need to find out who left her
to drown, Hector.
Yes. Mr Gently will, I'm sure.

529
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,880
Whoever it is, Hector.
Yes, of course.

530
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,880
Whoever.

531
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,280
I'm so sorry.

532
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,440
He won't hesitate. To do what?

533
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,160
Pull whatever strings it takes
to save his son's neck.

534
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,239
Well, aye - he's going to be
Prime Minister one day,

535
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,839
we keep getting told,
whereas a young lass like Ellen...

536
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,759
who had more brains and more heart
in her little finger

537
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:53,800
than he'll ever have - her life
can be snuffed out like that.

538
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,560
He's killed her, hasn't he?

539
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,479
The only one
who had any time for him,

540
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,000
and he's killed her.

541
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,680
Why is he not locked up?

542
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,839
Hall here. Village here.

543
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,399
A1 to Newcastle
and the coach station here.

544
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,119
River winds round this way.
Death occurs here at the bridge.

545
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,879
Is there a point to this?
She had a ticket to London.

546
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,079
Her father told us she left her
luggage in the middle of the floor,

547
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,439
so presumably whoever was driving
her went back to pick it up.

548
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,559
The rest of her band
had gone home in the van.

549
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,640
Guv, me brain's gone.
We'll talk about this tomorrow.

550
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,400
You've got nothing to say to me?

551
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,519
What about? OK.

552
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,879
Let me just tell you one
of the vast array of things wrong

553
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,799
with planting false evidence.

554
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,519
Whoa. Whoa there, Nelly.
False evidence?

555
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,439
Yeah, the blood smear.

556
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,839
James Blackstone is A2B, I take it?

557
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,279
Come on, you must know from all
the times you tried to nick him.

558
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:10,079
So? So, a smear of it turns up
conveniently on the car frame.

559
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,959
That blood sample
never even existed, did it?

560
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,199
Guv, he's got a three-inch gash
on his head!

561
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,559
He's got previous
for drinking and driving!

562
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,119
They tried to stop us
putting him away twice before

563
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,359
and now, guess what,
he's killed somebody,

564
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,719
and you're trying to stop us
a third time?!

565
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:28,879
No, I'm trying to stop you
from perjuring yourself
and ruining Bob Anderton's career!

566
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,399
He's got a wife and four kids
depending on his salary,

567
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,119
and you are asking him
to risk all of that

568
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,639
because you are SURE you've
got the right man, you just haven't
got the evidence to prove it!

569
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,599
Blokes your age, you can't help
yourselves, can you? What?!

570
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,199
"This bloke here, he was in the Army,
he must be a good bloke.

571
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,679
"This bloke here,
he's got a posh accent,

572
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,439
"he couldn't POSSIBLY
tell a pack of lies!"

573
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,079
How many times
have these people got a free pass

574
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,999
just because they won the pools
on the day that they were born?

575
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,439
Is that what you think of me?

576
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,319
Somebody who knows his place?

577
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,519
These people have been
farting in our faces for centuries

578
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,719
and now we don't
have to take it any more

579
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:12,079
and here is my guv'nor calling
this stuck up cow Your Ladyship.

580
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,679
And that excuses you from
inventing evidence against her son?

581
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,359
A, I'm doing nothing of the kind.
You're imagining it.

582
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,520
B, he's guilty.

583
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,519
And C, do you think these people
got all their land,

584
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,159
all their titles, all their wealth

585
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,960
by sticking to the rules?

586
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,799
Go home.

587
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,000
Guv... Go home.

588
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,440
You disappoint me, John.

589
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,159
This wouldn't have happened
if we'd arrested him yesterday.

590
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,880
Four O-levels
AND 20/20 hindsight!

591
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,519
What business is this of theirs?
How's your son?

592
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,559
They don't really know yet.
Would you like a cup of tea?

593
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,919
No, thank you.
I wouldn't mind, actually.

594
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,799
Anthony?
And a tea for Sergeant Bacchus.

595
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,560
Anthony Baugh.

596
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,520
Yeah, you find out all you can.
I'll take him outside.

597
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,399
So Alethea found James
with his throat cut?

598
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,639
Yes. Did he manage to say anything?

599
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,999
Presumably not,
with his throat cut!

600
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,639
Were you at the hall last night?

601
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,399
At night? Of course not.

602
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,959
How come you learned about James
so quickly?

603
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:55,800
The countess telephoned.
She was... very upset. I came over.

604
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,279
You think he tried to kill himself?

605
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,999
James was - is - probably the most
unhappy human being I've ever met.

606
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,599
And one of the least likeable.

607
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,439
What makes him unhappy?

608
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,559
I'm not a psychiatrist.

609
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,679
What makes him unlikeable?

610
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,800
Proximity to him.

611
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,679
Where do you fit in
at Abberwick Hall, Anthony?

612
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,239
The ruling class of England
went mad about ten years ago,

613
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:28,200
shortly after Suez,
didn't you notice?

614
00:42:28,201 --> 00:42:29,999
I'm writing a book about it.

615
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,519
Through A Class Darkly -
The Decline Of The Old Order.

616
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,160
Think it'll sell?

617
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,800
Is that your son's blood?

618
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,879
Why doesn't he make them
open the kitchen?

619
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,559
Is there really not a woman here
to boil a kettle?

620
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,160
What happened to your son?

621
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,080
He used be a soldier.

622
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040
They play with death.

623
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,440
They're reckless. I'm sorry.

624
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,160
You're saying that James accidentally
cut his own throat?

625
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,199
He really is quite unbelievable,
isn't he?

626
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,680
Darling? Do you have any shrapnel?

627
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,520
My husband was conceived
upon a flannel.

628
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,239
I beg your pardon?

629
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:51,279
His mother - my predecessor
as the Countess of Guyzance...

630
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,520
was a notorious "horizontale".

631
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,999
Sorry, I...?

632
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,759
Rarely in the vertical plane.

633
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,480
Oh, right.

634
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,480
Why am I telling you this?

635
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:13,640
Because sometimes...
we just need to talk, don't you?

636
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,439
My parents owned the village shop.
James and I were at school together.

637
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,999
You went to public school? Yep.

638
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,679
Thrifty shopkeepers.

639
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,279
Yes. But not that thrifty.

640
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,359
Hector paid for my education.

641
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,399
And, no, I'm not his illegitimate
offspring, it was pure philanthropy.

642
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,519
Hector does a lot of good
in this world.

643
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,279
All he asks in return is that you
try and do the same. And will you?

644
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,559
I'd like to go into politics.

645
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,719
As James is meant to.

646
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:47,599
Except he's got a mother
who controls the local Tory Party

647
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,039
and decides who the MP will be.
Lucky boy, eh?

648
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,559
But if James was no longer
a candidate...?

649
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,839
Oh, crikey. Am I a suspect?

650
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,400
Tell me why you shouldn't be.

651
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,679
What's your name?

652
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,079
John.

653
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,400
Well, John...
She slept with everybody.

654
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,280
Except Hector's father,
whom she couldn't abide.

655
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,999
You won't say a word of this
to anyone, will you? Promise?

656
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,760
I promise.

657
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,679
So there came a point...

658
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,799
where they hadn't had "conjugale"
for six years,

659
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,679
at which point the old bird
announces she's pregnant.

660
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,879
Well, even Hector's father...

661
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,959
who was given dinners at Eton
for his imbecility...

662
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,680
even HE could do simple arithmetic.

663
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,919
So he sued her for adultery
in the High Court

664
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,680
and tried to have Hector
declared a bastard.

665
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,519
What happened?
Oh, he lost his case, obviously.

666
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,399
Can I get you anything, you chaps?
Oh, no, no, no. Are you sure?

667
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,359
Well...

668
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,399
how did the, um... the "old bird"
get away with it?

669
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,799
She simply told the judge
the facts of the matter.

670
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,719
Which were...? That because
he wasn't getting any sex,

671
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:27,599
Hector's father was in the habit
of relieving himself

672
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,239
on a flannel in her bathroom.

673
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:31,679
One night in her bath,

674
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,879
she used the flannel
to wash herself down there,

675
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,919
thus impregnating herself
with his sperm.

676
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,799
And the judge believed that?

677
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,440
Of course he believed her.
Her father was a duke.

678
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,839
So who is Hector's real father?

679
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,400
Probably some horny-handed son
of toil from the local coal mine.

680
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,799
That would explain a lot
about Hector.

681
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,440
Tea at last!

682
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,160
Getting to know each other?

683
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Is there
a Mr and Mrs Guyzance here?

684
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,159
A friend of yours has just
lost her life in a car crash,

685
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,759
somebody that you were close to,
according to her father. Were you?

686
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,919
Mm.

687
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,040
So why weren't you driving the car?

688
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,919
Cos Billy...

689
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,479
Billy assumed that you would be
giving her a lift

690
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,479
to the coach station.
Why didn't you?

691
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,040
She wasn't going
to the coach station.

692
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,719
James was driving them both
to London.

693
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:44,080
How do you know this? She told me.

694
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,600
How close were you, Anthony?

695
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,240
Did you love Ellen, Anthony?

696
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,799
All my life.

697
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,000
Guv?

698
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,319
He lost too much blood.

699
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,160
They couldn't bring him back.

700
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,200
I'm very sorry.

701
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,839
What can you tell me
about what happened?

702
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,559
Very little.

703
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,999
I heard my wife's screams,
I went to the window,

704
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,760
I saw the scene
and I immediately phoned for help.

705
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,719
When I got outside...

706
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:33,399
there was blood everywhere.

707
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,000
James was barely alive.

708
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,919
We tried to bandage his neck.

709
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,879
He was drowning in his own blood.

710
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,799
The ambulance took an age.

711
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,320
And you saw no-one else?

712
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,840
Such as who?

713
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,760
Anthony Baugh, for instance?

714
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,559
No, of course not.

715
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,799
And the previous evening,
the night that Ellen met her death,

716
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,439
was he at the hall then?

717
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,079
Why would he be there
in the evening?

718
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,919
Hector, I'm sorry, too.

719
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,359
The silver dagger
that was found beside James?

720
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,640
It's a letter opener.

721
00:49:13,641 --> 00:49:16,279
Was it familiar to you?
It was my wife's.

722
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,839
Oh. A gift from James
on her 40th birthday.

723
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,599
There's an inscription on it...

724
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,239
"To Mummy, from James".

725
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:27,679
It normally lives on a desk
in the day room.

726
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:32,840
Do you think that your son could
have ended his own life with it?

727
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,079
Yes. I do.

728
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,880
Why would he do that?

729
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,559
I don't know.

730
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,399
And yesterday evening, were
the three of you at home together?

731
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,199
Yes. I myself went out for a while.

732
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,239
To go where?

733
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:54,679
I went to Billy Mallam's house
to share a drink with him,

734
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,719
but he slammed the door on me.

735
00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:00,120
There was real hatred in his eyes.

736
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,759
I fear he may have been led
to the wrong conclusion

737
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,319
about his daughter's death.

738
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,959
I think your son killed himself
last night

739
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,479
because he felt responsible
for the death of Ellen Mallam.

740
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,119
Why do you keep pointing your finger
at other people, I wonder?

741
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,119
Confucius had a saying, Sergeant...

742
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,799
"When a wise man
points at the stars,

743
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,320
"only a fool stares at his finger".

744
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,120
Darling...

745
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,199
Are we letting Anthony go?
Yeah. For now.

746
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,039
These people are weird. Yeah.

747
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,360
Better question Billy Mallam.

748
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,999
Oh, right. Yeah.

749
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,279
Billy Mallam has now gone
to the hall, has he, huh?

750
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,479
To open James Blackstone's throat
with a silver dagger
that belonged to Alethea, huh?

751
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,479
And because of me, apparently. Are
you taking this rubbish seriously?

752
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,479
I have to. What,
because an earl says that it's true?

753
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,239
Oh, well, then it must be! You...

754
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:24,439
You as good as told Billy Mallam
that James was driving the car!

755
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,879
It's a smoke screen, guv!
The truth... the truth
has just walked out that door!

756
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,639
Listen, you don't have to be there.
I'll question him on my own.

757
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,839
No, no! I'll do it, sir. I'll do it!

758
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,920
It's all my fault, apparently,
so I'll do it!

759
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,360
That's for slitting envelopes,
not throats.

760
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,479
There's easier ways than that
of killing a man, bonny lad.

761
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,839
Such as? A shotgun.

762
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,879
Yeah, but...

763
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,999
you wanted poetic justice,
though, didn't you?

764
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,959
For your beautiful,
artistic daughter?

765
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,559
Cut the killer's throat
with a knife inscribed to his Mammy.

766
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,040
What's sweeter than that?

767
00:52:04,041 --> 00:52:08,279
Having Ellen alive would be
sweeter than that, bonny lad.

768
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,559
Yeah, but she's not alive, though,
is she?

769
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,520
You're never going to see her again,
Billy. Never.

770
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,279
You had hate in your heart
last night, Billy.

771
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:23,559
Says who?

772
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,200
Who came knocking at your door?

773
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:29,639
Hector put yous up to this?

774
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,599
James Blackstone
left Ellen to drown.

775
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,839
James Blackstone
drowned in his own blood.

776
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,479
Nobody, nobody on Earth,

777
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,759
would blame you for that, Billy.
Nobody.

778
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,720
Did you leave the house
after Hector came to see you?

779
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,440
Where did you go to, Billy?

780
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,440
The river.

781
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,720
I went to the river.

782
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,200
To see where my bairn lost her life.

783
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,160
Thinking I might die
in the same spot.

784
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,360
I couldn't kill myself last night.

785
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,880
This was not simple cowardice.

786
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,559
At age 19,

787
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,999
I spent six days trapped
by a rock fall,

788
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,839
underground on me own,

789
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,400
so I've met despair before.

790
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,120
Wrapped tight round my throat
in the dark.

791
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,239
But I survived it.

792
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:38,360
As I will the loss of Ellen.

793
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,760
As I have everything else.

794
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:52,359
Anthony Baugh says James and Ellen
were leaving for London together.

795
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,399
Knows it for a fact, he says.

796
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,919
He only knows one thing for a fact...

797
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:02,639
that Anthony Baugh will one day
be atop of the greasy pole.

798
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:07,119
I've watched that lad grow up. He
believes in nothing except himself.

799
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,599
All the same,
why would he make it up? Huh?

800
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,999
I mean, you said it yourself,
didn't you?

801
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,760
James held onto her hand,
she kissed him.

802
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,639
That's a funny thing for a fiery
working-class lass to be doing.

803
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,599
Standing necking on the street
with a bloke whose mum's
posher than the Queen.

804
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,320
Billy...

805
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,399
the postmortem tells us

806
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,759
that Ellen had sex with somebody
in the days before she died.

807
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,759
Did yous have to tell us that?

808
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,159
Could it have been James?

809
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,600
Never in a million year. Anthony?

810
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:49,040
I think they used to...
but that was years ago.

811
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,359
Well... Thank you very much,
Mr Mallam.

812
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,480
I'll arrange for a squad car
to take you home.

813
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,239
When the undertakers
have done their work,

814
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:05,080
people can come
and pay their respects.

815
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:14,680
He was so, so very loved, my son.

816
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,200
England has lost a future leader.

817
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,439
Have you ever lost anyone
you were really close to, George?

818
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,200
Of course you have.

819
00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:42,560
We're the generation, aren't we?

820
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,319
I lost my father

821
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,319
and my brother in the war.

822
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,560
In the same week.

823
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,480
I lost some comrades. Anzio.

824
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,080
Sicily before that.

825
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,560
I also lost my wife a few years ago.

826
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:14,680
I'm so sorry.

827
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,680
It's been very much on my mind
recently.

828
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,519
I can't quite work out why.

829
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,520
It's because you're a sensitive man,
George.

830
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,040
But life will be good again.

831
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:37,319
Life always works out well
in the end for good men...

832
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,720
like you.

833
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:42,599
Your Ladyship...

834
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,960
Why don't you call me Alethea? Hmm?

835
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,360
When no-one else is around.

836
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:54,760
I think I'll call you Your Ladyship,
if it's all the same to you.

837
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,400
The night Ellen died...

838
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,120
Back to that again, are we?

839
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,160
Anthony Baugh says James and Ellen
were going away to London together.

840
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,720
Gosh!

841
00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:15,720
Hasn't he a lot to say
for the son of village shopkeepers?

842
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,879
Can I help you in some way? Yeah.

843
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:35,839
Sometime before she died,
somebody shagged Ellen. Any idea who?

844
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,160
You really are something.

845
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,639
An easier one, then -
was it you or was it James?

846
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,639
Body's hardly cold, Sergeant.

847
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:47,720
I'm sorry.

848
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,799
If you want coppers with good taste,

849
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,959
then mebbies they should
send us all to public school.

850
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,600
Could learn how to cane each other.

851
00:57:55,601 --> 00:57:59,079
I just went to the local grammar, me,
so I never really got into bondage.

852
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,879
This is an amazing, kind,

853
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,759
beautiful, talented human being

854
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,159
who's lost her life
in tragic circumstances.

855
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,960
The fact that you think it's funny,

856
00:58:06,961 --> 00:58:10,879
the fact that you think she's
to be mocked, does you no credit.

857
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,999
And, actually, maybe that IS
something to do with your education.

858
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,839
Oh, where did I go wrong?

859
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,279
Let me tell you
what I'm thinking, Ant.

860
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,119
I'm thinking this -
there's you sent to school

861
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,719
to learn how to parrot
the upper classes, right?

862
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,079
But it'll always be all right,
won't it?

863
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,639
Because there's Ellen,
childhood sweetheart,

864
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,159
the Fiery Spark,

865
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,800
Red Ellen.

866
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,319
And as long as she still loves you,

867
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,359
then you haven't turned into
a complete toady.

868
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,519
And then one day - disaster.

869
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:50,279
She thinks to herself, "Why am I
wasting my time dropping my knickers

870
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,920
"for a pretend upper-class twit
when I can have a proper one?"

871
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,200
Eh?

872
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:02,479
James never took his eyes off her
at that concert.

873
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,360
That must have made you angry,
did it?

874
00:59:04,361 --> 00:59:07,479
Then he leaves her to drown
in a river.

875
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,959
You expect me to believe
that you spent all last night

876
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,440
playing draughts with your
mam and dad up in Seahouses?

877
00:59:13,441 --> 00:59:15,280
Ask them. I have.

878
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:21,040
"Ah, yeah, no,
he was here the whole time, honest."

879
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,080
What are mums and dads for?

880
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,560
What was James's relationship
with Ellen Mallam?

881
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:36,920
"Relationship"?

882
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:43,039
James was a man of action.
A soldier.

883
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,040
They're allowed to sow wild oats.

884
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,079
Well, village girls...

885
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,120
sometimes get the wrong idea.

886
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:56,119
She laid herself down for him

887
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,359
and then expected a wedding ring.

888
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,559
So she threw herself at him?

889
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,799
She... ensnared him with sex.

890
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,239
This proud working-class girl,

891
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,479
named after
a famous working-class heroine,

892
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,639
expected a life with your son?

893
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:18,639
And isn't that just typical
of the working classes?

894
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,440
Once they smell money
and opportunity...

895
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,679
They envy wealth, success,
brilliance...

896
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,519
all the things that James
had in spades.

897
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,119
Exactly. So why did he kill himself?

898
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,839
He didn't kill himself.

899
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,119
Your husband says it was suicide.

900
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,439
How would he know?

901
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:39,959
He wasn't there.

902
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,679
Nor were you.

903
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,559
Exactly. Nobody was.

904
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,319
So nobody can say
that James killed himself.

905
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,080
Mm. Anthony Baugh says so, too.

906
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,600
Well, God damn Anthony Baugh.

907
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,360
He would say that, wouldn't he? Why?

908
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,159
Because he hated my son.

909
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,160
Hated and envied him.

910
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,520
Because you can give a boy
an education...

911
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,599
but you can't give him breeding.

912
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,920
But Anthony's family, really,
isn't he?

913
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,919
James is home, my dear.

914
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,640
Would you excuse us now, please?

915
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,040
One more question.

916
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,119
Did Ellen visit you
the night she died?

917
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,840
What an absurd idea.

918
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,359
Were you here at the club
the night Ellen Mallam was playing?

919
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,719
I wouldn't miss it.

920
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,799
So you knew Ellen, I assume?

921
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,640
Watched her grow up. Lovely lass.

922
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,319
Breaks your heart, you know?

923
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,959
Was there anything different
about her that night?

924
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,519
Anything unusual happen?

925
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,199
Well, she was never usually
short of a lift.

926
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,159
Sorry?

927
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,719
Turns the lights out,
locks the place up,

928
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,560
she was out here,
sitting here on her own.

929
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,359
What did she say?

930
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,120
Just her lift never turned up.

931
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,879
Did she say who the lift was?

932
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:29,519
No. She just said,
"I don't care, I'll walk."

933
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,720
Like, determined, you know?

934
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,119
If I don't see you through the week,
I'll see you through the window.

935
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,719
'And she gives us
this big smacker on the lips.

936
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,039
'She was...happy.'

937
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,039
Heading which way?

938
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:46,520
That way.

939
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,199
Towards Abberwick Hall?

940
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,359
It's a simple enough question, Tone -
was it you

941
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,679
or was it James who shagged her
before she died?

942
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,119
Well, it wasn't me, no.

943
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:01,120
Oh, dear. The thought of her and
James would have hurt, wouldn't it?

944
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,879
But it wasn't James either, was it?

945
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,359
I nicked him twice before
for being drunk behind the wheel.

946
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,679
Both times he was with a lad.

947
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,079
Different lads,
but never any sign of any lasses.

948
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,879
And Billy? He just laughed
at the idea of her and James.

949
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:23,439
James was queer. Everybody knew
that. Except one person, of course.

950
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,800
Four prancing horses
will draw your carriage.

951
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,720
You will be engraved in marble.

952
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,200
Earls and dukes will attend you.

953
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,040
And men and women everywhere...

954
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:55,840
will weep...

955
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,920
for their fallen hero.

956
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,799
'Ellen gave him hope.'

957
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,639
For the first and only time
in his stupid life, he had hope.

958
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,400
How'd she do that? By singing to him.
A song called Silver Dagger.

959
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,360
Silver Dagger?
It was the last song she ever sang.

960
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,200
'It's about a mother
who won't let go of her son.'

961
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,040
One more, then.
This is for mothers everywhere.

So what were your movements
after the concert?

987
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,919
Packed up the instruments,
offered Ellen a lift,

988
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,959
but she declined because she was...

989
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,439
Carry on.

990
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,760
She was waiting for James
to come back and pick her up,

991
01:06:59,761 --> 01:07:02,119
which obviously he did.
Why do you say that?

992
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,559
Come on. We all know
who was driving the car.

993
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:09,559
But it wasn't James's car
that crashed. It was an old Austin.

994
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,720
Well, then that's the car
he was driving that night. No, no.

995
01:07:11,721 --> 01:07:15,919
James was in his Volvo P1800 earlier
outside the Miners' Welfare.

996
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:17,319
Well, then...

997
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,519
for some reason he must've come
back for her in the Austin.

998
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,159
Why?

999
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,319
What car were you driving, Anthony?

1000
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,519
Just one of the Abberwick cars.
I don't remember which.

1001
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,039
Don't you?

1002
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,319
Ellen walked to the hall.

1003
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,039
I have an eye witness.

1004
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,999
Five miles on her own in the dark.

1005
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,039
It is now nearly one in the morning

1006
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:43,000
and Ellen will soon get into the car
that will crash and drown her.

1007
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,440
Where were you?

1008
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,200
I was at home.

1009
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,439
Stop wasting our time.

1010
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,959
You were about to get
a big surprise, weren't you?

1011
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:58,960
Not to mention the countess.

1012
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,759
Oh.

1013
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,399
Is that why he paid for you to go
to that posh school is it, Anthony?

1014
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,999
So his wife could have
a bit of well-spoken rough?

1015
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,359
Or is this your way of saying,
"Thank you, Hector"?

1016
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,000
I was with Alethea
when Ellen arrived.

1017
01:08:17,480 --> 01:08:20,120
Doing what, exactly?

1018
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,759
How's the uprising going,
village boy?

1019
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,359
Oh, it's... It's coming along.

1020
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,720
Give me some of that.

1021
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,960
Good. Because I'm ready.

1022
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,319
'..Resembles a battlefield
after an uprising on a scale

1023
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,559
'unequalled in the
postwar period...'

1024
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,879
That'll be you one day, my lady.

1025
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:09,519
Your house will burn, baby, burn.

1026
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:14,119
Oh, really? I'm so scared.

1027
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,280
The working classes on the rise.

1028
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:23,199
At last seeing through all our ruses
to keep them enslaved.

1029
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,199
Oh, Lord, what shall become of me?

1030
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,199
You'll be up against a wall.

1031
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,880
Oh, will I? Up against a wall...

1032
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,199
And where will you be, village boy?

1033
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:39,000
I'll be standing right behind you
with my gun in my... Sh.

1034
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,879
This girl is insane! She's come
to collect James, Alethea.

1035
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,199
He wants to go to London with her.

1036
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,759
Wants to drop out.
Find his own space.

1037
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,359
The police can deal with this.

1038
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,359
Tell her she has ten minutes
to get off my property!

1039
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,479
I can't talk to her!
Oh, she still doesn't know?

1040
01:10:17,480 --> 01:10:23,639
Well, I think
that it's about time that she did!

1041
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,959
Alethea,
why not just let him go with her?

1042
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,759
He isn't what you think he is.
He isn't clever enough.

1043
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,279
Oh, and you are, I suppose?

1044
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,399
Don't get ideas above your station,
Anthony. Your parents ran a shop!

1045
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:37,879
He's weak, Alethea.

1046
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,279
And not very bright.

1047
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,599
Have you ever met
any Government ministers?

1048
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,680
I wrote his essays
all through school and Oxford.

1049
01:10:44,681 --> 01:10:48,079
And were amply rewarded! Can't you
see what you've turned him into?

1050
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,200

Oh, Anthony...

1055
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,520
I always worried
you might sell your granny

1056
01:11:13,521 --> 01:11:16,719
but I never thought you'd shag her!
Make her shut up!

You are a total nightmare,
Mrs Guyzance, do you know that?

I'll take you to the coach station,
Ellen.

1063
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:37,800
No, thanks. I've got a lift.

1064
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,119
But she did get in that car.
Who with?

1065
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,799
I don't know. I went back upstairs.

1066
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,880
That was the last I ever saw
of Ellen.

1067
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,720
Stay here. Don't talk to anybody.

Yes, she was here.

01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,759
We know where your wife was.

1094
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,679
Where is your wife now, please?

1095
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,919
Asleep. Exhausted.

1096
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,799
Somebody's responsible
for the death of Ellen Mallam
and I think she knows who,

1097
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,039
so could you go and tell your wife
"wakey, wakey", now, please?

1098
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:08,400
All right.

1099
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:17,279
You do it your way,
I'll do it mine, all right?

1100
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:21,680
I'm sick to the back teeth
of these toffee-nosed hypocrites.

1101
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:26,440
All right. We'll do it your way.
Right.

1102
01:14:29,480 --> 01:14:33,079
Ellen Mallam walked here
at 1am the night she died.

1103
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:37,279
According to your husband,
she came here to talk to James.

1104
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,600
You were in your bedroom.

1105
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,639
With him.

1106
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,959
Oh, aye, he's given us
all the gory details.

1107
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,160
So what happened next, when Ellen
tried to take your son away from you?

1108
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,480
Go back to bed.

1109
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,639
Come with me. It's not as hard
as you think, James.

1110
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,280
Go inside, James.

1111
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:18,679
There's an amazing world out here,
beautiful man.

1112
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:22,880
You'll find different friends,
do different things - I promise.

1113
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:25,760
I'll help you.

1114
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,999
Just... forget about me, Ellen.

1115
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,599
No, I won't just forget about you.

1116
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,879
The police will be here shortly,
my dear,

1117
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,119
so I suggest that you pack up
your fiddle

1118
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,399
and clear off back where you belong.

1119
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,280
Let him choose his own life,
Alethea.

1120
01:15:41,281 --> 01:15:43,599
He has chosen.

1121
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,720
Haven't you, James?

1122
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,639
Get back in the house.

1123
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,320
Now!

1124
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,159
For goodness' sake.
Oh, my God, James!

1125
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,959
Are you all right?

1126
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:08,960
Now do you see what you've done?!

1127
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:13,559
'So Anthony had gone upstairs, yes?'

1128
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,119
Yes.

1129
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,759
Another man she had twisted round
her little finger.

1130
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:22,559
Really, what was the attraction?

1131
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,319
Why all this fuss about her?

1132
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:28,319
For goodness' sake, Alethea, she was
an extraordinary creature! So...

1133
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,480
She left in a car.

1134
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,360
Driven by whom?

1135
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,640
We have no idea.

1136
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:44,000
We were with James and his cut head.

1137
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,959
James was... hardly conscious.

1138
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,959
Chief Inspector, it seems to me

1139
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:54,560
that you would like us
to solve this mystery for you.

1140
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:59,199
And you've obviously failed
to come up with any evidence

1141
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,800
of who was behind the wheel
or you'd have produced it by now.

1142
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,759
That's where you're wrong.

1143
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:10,720
John...? No, no.
They're not getting away with this.

1144
01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:18,319
We have a blood sample.

1145
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,759
Taken from the crashed car.
It's quite rare.

1146
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,039
A2B, James's blood type.

1147
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,359
So presumably one of yours as well.

1148
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:31,839
Blood types...?
It's quite simple, Mrs Blackstone.

1149
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,559
James was A2B,

1150
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,000
so one of his parents must be.

1151
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,680
What are you?

1152
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:43,520
O.

1153
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,000
And you?

1154
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:54,799
It was my blood.

1155
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,360
I drove the car.

1156
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,639
Somebody had to.

1157
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:04,319
James was incapable,
my wife was under the influence,

1158
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:08,319
so I took the nearest car and
drove Ellen home for her baggage.

1159
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,999
Except we didn't get there.

1160
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,240
I lost control of the car on a bend.

1161
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,919
I lost consciousness for a while.

1162
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:21,080
When I came to,
we were upside down in the river.

1163
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,919
Ellen was trapped.

1164
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:28,080
I tried to free her.
The water was rising.

1165
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,199
I kicked my door open
and I scrambled out.

1166
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,879
God help me, I tried to save her,

1167
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,160
but I couldn't free her foot!

1168
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,279
I talked to her.

1169
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:47,079
And I held her hand
until she was covered by the water

1170
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:48,719
and then she drowned.

1171
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,599
You could've just told us all this
from the beginning, man.

1172
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,799
What, and have all of this
brought up for public scrutiny?

1173
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,799
My life - our lives -
a laughing stock?

1174
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:02,799
There go the aristocracy again! Mad,
degenerate, sexually incontinent,

1175
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,799
no longer fit to lead...

1176
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,639
Who wants to be led by people

1177
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:10,679
who can leave a dead girl
in a drowned car all night?!

1178
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,199
You're under arrest.

1179
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,679
He's under arrest when I say he is.

1180
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,000
Your blood type's B, Hector.

1181
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,599
I checked in the hospital.

1182
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,679
What? That's just basic police work,
Sergeant.

1183
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,959
Then how could there be
an A2B blood stain in the car?

1184
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,880
Well, yes. Good point.
How could there be, Sergeant?

1185
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,880
Must have been
some kind of mistake. Yeah.

1186
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,719
Just like Hector thinking
that James was his son.

1187
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,679
I was never under
that misapprehension, Sergeant.

1188
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,080
We have no evidence
except your confession.

1189
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:52,600
Do you wish to retract it?

1190
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,719
No. Someone should pay.

1191
01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,680
I was brought up to honour a debt.

1192
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,839
You are a fool, Hector.

1193
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,479
Perhaps so.

1194
01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:08,079
But I can live with being a fool,
Alethea.

1195
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,079
What I couldn't live with, however,

1196
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:14,040
was knowing that
I'd as good as killed my own son.

1197
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,959
How could the poor chap live,
after all you'd done to him?

1198
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:20,959
No, it was...

1199
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,519
a silly accident

1200
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,319
I saw it, Alethea! I saw it!

1201
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:30,119
Please, James, please! I am begging
you. Sweetheart, please don't.

1202
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,119
I am going to count to ten. One...
No, no, please don't!

1203
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,599
No, no, no,
because you're brilliant.

1204
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,879
Two... This is us.
We can talk away any problem.

1205
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:44,759
Three... I love you
with every fibre of my being!

1206
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:49,319
Four... What if I do this? What if
I crawl? What if I crawl to you?

1207
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,559
Yes, laugh at me,
but don't destroy yourself!

1208
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:56,199
Please, not after everything
that we have done together!

1209
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:59,199
What have I ever done?
The world is waiting for you.

1210
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:00,680
Ah...

1211
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:07,319
The world. Five, six...
Please. Please, please, please!

1212
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,759
Let me take all the pain away!

1213
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,879
She was the only friend
I've ever had

1214
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,839
because she didn't want
anything from me.

1215
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,240
She only wanted to help me.

1216
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:23,120
Tell me, Mummy,
why did she have to die?

1217
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:29,999
It is so, so hard
to lose what's precious,

1218
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,639
which is why you must not do this.

1219
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,919
Why? Because it will hurt you?

1220
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:37,599
Because the world needs you.

1221
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,639
You know that, James.
You've always known that.

1222
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,719
We've always said that, haven't we?

1223
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:44,799
Since you were a little boy.

1224
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,920
No, no. YOU have always said that.

1225
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,440
I just wanted a life to live.

1226
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:58,959
You are the master
of your own destiny, James,

1227
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,760
and, one day, of all our destinies.

1228
01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:07,400
My darling son.

1229
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,239
My brave,

1230
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,319
brave boy.

1231
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,319
She was right about you.

1232
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:17,240
You are a nightmare.

1233
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:19,719
James?

1234
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,200
Seven, eight, nine, Mummy...

1235
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,040
Help! Hector!

1236
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,000
Hector, would you stand up, please?

1237
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:43,999
Hector Blackstone,

1238
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,239
I'm charging you with causing death
by dangerous driving

1239
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,919
and attempting to pervert
the course of justice.

1240
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,879
You do not have to say anything,
but anything you do say

1241
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,599
may be used in evidence.
Do you understand?

1242
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,519
Perfectly, thank you.

1243
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:58,999
Is there anything?

1244
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,919
Yes.

1245
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,079
No, I'd like you to hear this, too,
Alethea.

1246
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,959
I want you to know exactly
what happened

1247
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,160
because I will never tell it
to a court.

1248
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,880
Stop for a minute.
I want to talk to you.

1249
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,320
Hector...

1250
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,680
when did you stop breathing?

1251
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:39,119
Let's go for a walk. But...
There's bags of time.

1252
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:45,719
♪ My daddy, he's a handsome devil

1253
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:50,440
♪ He's got a chain five miles long

1254
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:56,080
♪ And on every link
a heart does dangle

1255
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:02,560
♪ Of another maid
he's loved and wronged. ♪

1256
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,999
What are you thinking of?

1257
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,079
Or should I say "who"?

1258
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:15,279
I've never, ever been
so happy in all my life.

1259
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,640
Ah. Is he waiting for you in London?

1260
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,799
It can happen for you as well,
Hector.

1261
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,359
I want you to believe that. Can you?

1262
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:28,360
I'll try to believe it.

1263
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,799
Good. When you get home,

1264
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,399
start making changes.

1265
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,319
OK? Promise?

1266
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,240
I promise.

1267
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,239
Look at the time!

1268
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,480
Oh, God! Come on!

1269
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,399
It's perhaps hard
for you to understand

1270
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,199
what those few minutes meant to me.

1271
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,120
Just to be touched
by a beautiful young woman.

1272
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,239
It was only when Ellen kissed me

1273
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:06,160
that I realised the truth
of what she'd said.

1274
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,760
I had stopped breathing.

1275
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:15,360
I had stopped breathing
the day Bonny died.

1276
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:27,439
We were late.

1277
01:25:27,440 --> 01:25:31,039
I wanted Ellen to get to London

1278
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,959
to meet the man she'd fallen
in love with.

1279
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,760
I drove too fast.

1280
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:03,159
He'll get off, guv.
I'm telling you, he'll get off.

1281
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:05,679
His posh lawyer'll say
he was in shock or something.

1282
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,479
He held her hand until she died,
John.

1283
01:26:08,480 --> 01:26:10,719
And then he walked home
and he told his wife

1284
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,360
and his wife's boyfriend
what had happened.

1285
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,839
I don't understand these people.

1286
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,239
It's like The Wizard Of Oz,
isn't it?

1287
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:29,119
Everyone thinks there's some amazing
brains running the operation

1288
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:34,199
and you look behind the curtain,
it's just some weird Hooray Henry

1289
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,839
who was once in the Bullingdon Club.

1290
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:40,760
But the game's up. Because once you
start laughing at the high-ups...

1291
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,879
they lose their power.

1292
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,959
I wouldn't worry too much
on their behalf.

1293
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,919
It might be all over for the toffs,

1294
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:52,759
but they've trained
the Anthony Baughs of this world

1295
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,279
to carry on the good fight.

1296
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,599
Hi. I'm Anthony.

1297
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:01,919
I think, you know, people like me
cos I'm a straight sort of guy.

1298
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:03,920
That's why people trust me.

1299
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,920
Hi. Call me Tony.

1300
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,360
OK, why should you vote for me?

1301
01:27:23,440 --> 01:27:27,120
All right.
The blood thing, that was a mistake.

1302
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,919
But it got us a confession.

1303
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:35,039
So... bingo.

1304
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,999
No. Not "bingo". I wouldn't have had
to make it up, would I,

1305
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,199
if he'd have coughed up
in the first place.

1306
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:42,719
What were the lies all about?

1307
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:44,999
Honour, I think.

1308
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:46,600
Dignity.

1309
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,159
Memory.

1310
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:52,399
Well, like I said,
I don't understand these people.

1311
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,599
Just out of interest,

1312
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,840
what sort of people do you think
should be running this country?

1313
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,080
People like me.

1314
01:28:09,180 --> 01:28:16,107
