Where did you get that stuff? 634 00:34:46,980 --> 00:34:51,219 What's wrong with the word spade? They call us honky pigs, don't they? I just 635 00:34:51,219 --> 00:34:52,580 don't see the need, that's all. 636 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,699 After all, he was trying to be helpful. 637 00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:58,960 You call giving Jones an alibi for the time in question being helpful, do you? 638 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:04,140 It couldn't be that he was simply trying to cover up for one of his own, could 639 00:35:04,140 --> 00:35:07,920 it? Well, I can see how he might have a protective attitude towards the kids 640 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,140 that use the club if... But he writes. 641 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,140 As I was about to say, if that was the case, why would he offer any information 642 00:35:13,140 --> 00:35:15,820 about this other kid, Benjamin, he's black too? Who knows? 643 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,420 Maybe he doesn't belong to the same tribe as Willie.

Fox hunters block up earth from badger sets the night before a hunt 724 00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:19,900 to ensure that the foxes are forced to run until they're exhausted. 725 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:26,000 And even if a fox does find an unblocked earth, the sportsmen will usually 726 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,440 either evict their quarry by sending the terriers down after it and hunt it 727 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,600 again, or dig the fox out with shovels and kill it. 728 00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:36,700 Pure savagery. 729 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,120 I agree. 730 00:39:41,070 --> 00:39:47,890 But did you know, Mr. Dean, that some elderly people can be hunted 731 00:39:47,890 --> 00:39:50,670 and killed for their few meagre belongings while innocently going about 732 00:39:50,670 --> 00:39:51,670 business? 733 00:39:52,310 --> 00:39:55,490 I'm sorry.

They're keen to get it together for next month's carnival. 891 00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:49,820 And you banned John Benjamin from the club because you suspected him of 892 00:47:49,820 --> 00:47:51,120 stolen goods to the other kids? 893 00:47:51,540 --> 00:47:53,220 Suspected, yes. Nothing else. 894 00:47:53,930 --> 00:47:57,810 I gave your officers his name only because of what I've heard some of the 895 00:47:57,810 --> 00:47:59,450 say about him. That he was a mugger? 896 00:47:59,910 --> 00:48:00,910 Yes. 897 00:48:01,590 --> 00:48:04,430 Well, if you banned him, what was he doing hanging around outside the club? 898 00:48:04,650 --> 00:48:05,650 Business as usual. 899 00:48:05,910 --> 00:48:07,430 There's not a lot I can do about that. 900 00:48:07,870 --> 00:48:12,850 But I would like to make it absolutely clear that I have no idea if Benjamin 901 00:48:12,850 --> 00:48:15,710 anything to do with what happened to that poor man last night. 902 00:48:16,090 --> 00:48:19,070 He was just someone I suggest your officers talk to. 903 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,840 And now you're equally certain that Leroy Jones was in the club from about 9 904 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,620 .m. until he left after you saw him talking to John Benjamin? 905 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,580 I'm certain, Chief Inspector. 906 00:48:32,580 --> 00:48:33,580 Let's go. 907 00:48:33,980 --> 00:48:36,380 All right, Mr. Williams, if you'd sign this. 908 00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:58,400 Now, don't worry, Mrs Jones. I've got Mr Williams' telephone number. I'll 909 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,560 contact him just as soon as anything comes up. Promise. 910 00:49:01,020 --> 00:49:02,300 Thank you, Chief Inspector. 911 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,220 No, no, he's not still here, is he? 912 00:49:11,940 --> 00:49:14,260 Bailed out in his own surety a little while ago. 913 00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:16,960 That is exhibit number one for the magistrates. 914 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,760 Inspector Forbes sorted it all out, by the way. Did she? 915 00:49:22,570 --> 00:49:25,850 Oh, Bill, we've got the name of the other boy. Jones is still denying he was 916 00:49:25,850 --> 00:49:29,370 involved, but he hasn't got the other names. It's got to be him. And the name 917 00:49:29,370 --> 00:49:32,430 came up with wouldn't be Johnny Benjamin by any chance, would it? Right. 918 00:49:32,990 --> 00:49:36,690 Had Jones' mother and a Mr. Williams in. Now, Mr. Williams made a statement 919 00:49:36,690 --> 00:49:41,330 declaring that Jones was in that club from around nine until about quarter to 920 00:49:41,330 --> 00:49:44,810 eleven. Also claims there's a bunch of kids down there who will support that 921 00:49:44,810 --> 00:49:46,990 alibi. Don't believe it. It's got to be a fabrication. 922 00:49:47,650 --> 00:49:50,810 Hop hunting exists for the same despicable reason. 923 00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:20,640 Why shouldn't they lie? 924 00:50:21,130 --> 00:50:24,530 People commit perjury in court every day for their friends, relatives, sometimes 925 00:50:24,530 --> 00:50:25,650 even for complete strangers. 926 00:50:28,050 --> 00:50:31,890 It seems there's been a cock -up. They coughed a lot in the car on the way 927 00:50:34,290 --> 00:50:36,350 And the charge will now be murder. 928 00:50:36,990 --> 00:50:41,170 Murder? Mr Mullery died, as you would have discovered had you bothered to 929 00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:44,410 in. Well, I would have done so. Never mind the excuses. I'll hear them later. 930 00:50:47,330 --> 00:50:51,090 Maggie. I think maybe you ought to have a word with Mrs. Jones, don't you?
