0:00:26 > 0:00:28I can confirm that life is extinct.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Time of death? Even a rough indication?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Well within the last hour -
0:00:31 > 0:00:33the watch stopped at 1:52.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34I can't believe it.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I've just got back.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38My flight got in at two.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39I came straight here.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We'll get a witness statement from you later, sir.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I didn't see what happened.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44I found her like this.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Of course, I called for an ambulance straightaway,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48but I didn't ask for the police.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50It's standard practice in a case like this.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51A suspicious death.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Suspicious? Why suspicious?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55She could have just fallen from the staircase.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Well, we'll find out.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58I need to go upstairs.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Stairs are out of bounds, sir.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02This full area's a crime scene.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Is there any other access?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Yes, there's a rear access.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Is there anyone else here?
0:01:07 > 0:01:08No. No-one else lives here.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10GLASS SMASHES
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Stay there.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Doc...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's OK, I'm a doctor.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22My name is Jimmi.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Can I take a look at your hand?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25You call that a search?!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I told you to secure the property!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28It's all right. It's just Malia.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29She's the cleaner.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You said there was no-one else here.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32I didn't think she'd be here today.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34OK. Just put this on your hand, OK?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Squeeze it really hard, it'll stop the bleeding.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Yes, sir.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Did you break the window, Malia?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It's all right, it's just the window.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Do you understand English?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yes, sir.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Well, simple question -
0:01:45 > 0:01:47did you break the window?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Malia, there's been a terrible accident.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Habiba is dead.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Do you know anything about this?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Did you see anything?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Did you kill her?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01You're going to have to start
0:02:01 > 0:02:04answering some questions, young lady.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Oh!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Is someone sleeping here?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's a laundry room.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Malia, I'll get your coat.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33'Right!'
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Here you are.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Come in.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39So, how was your journey, Adam?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Oh, a nightmare!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42The taxi driver didn't know how to use a sat nav.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44He claimed that Kingsvale didn't exist.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, well, you're here now.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Yes, mind Katie the keyboard.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Oh, sorry. We haven't had a musical kid before, have we?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Oh! We put the decorations up.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We don't usually put them up this early, but we thought that...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Oh, yes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Very retro.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Tinsel! I love it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01"Retro"?!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well, let's get you settled in. I hope you like your room.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Oh, so do I, or you'll never hear the end of it!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Lead on!- All right. Okey dokey.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Mr Mansour, good afternoon.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm just going to ask you a few questions.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23How long has Miss Ibrahim worked for you?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Malia?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I don't know exactly.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27She's not important.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Why are you asking about her?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31She was in the house when your wife died
0:03:31 > 0:03:32in suspicious circumstances.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Don't you want to know?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Malia wouldn't kill my wife.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37She wouldn't hurt anyone.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39So, why was she trying to break out of the house?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40She wasn't.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43She was just cleaning some windows, she broke one.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45She's careless sometimes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So, let me get this straight -
0:03:47 > 0:03:49she pops over to do the housework,
0:03:49 > 0:03:50she finds her employer dead,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52doesn't call 999
0:03:52 > 0:03:54and just gets on with the window cleaning.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Like you do(!)
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It's a large house.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Malia was working at the back,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02my wife, she was at the front.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06She might not have seen or heard anything.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09She might not have realised.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12That would explain why she didn't call 999.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14You seem very certain that she's innocent.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I know her.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Malia was very devoted to my wife.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20She's extremely upset.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I really think it would be much better if she went home
0:04:23 > 0:04:24and we did this tomorrow.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Well, I want to question her,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28so she'll stay here until I say she can leave.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I know this is a difficult time for you, sir,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but I'll also need a statement from you -
0:04:32 > 0:04:34if you're up to it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Of course I am.- Good.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40can you tell me where you were this morning?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I've already accounted for that.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yeah, and you were very keen to make us aware
0:04:44 > 0:04:46that you'd only just returned.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48The thing is...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52..your flight from Jeddah
0:04:52 > 0:04:54arrived at eight this morning,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56not two in the afternoon as you claimed.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Six hours unaccounted for,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01during which time your wife died.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02So, where were you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I did not kill my wife.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Then you won't mind telling us where you were then, will you?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10"Fae-zal" Mansour...
0:05:10 > 0:05:12"Fie-zal" Mansour.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Faizal Mansour...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Have you eaten today?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I'm not allowed to eat till the evening -
0:05:23 > 0:05:25till I've finished my work.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27No, we can sort you out a meal and a cup of tea here,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29if that's OK?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Thank you.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Now, there's just one more thing that I need to ask
0:05:33 > 0:05:35before I do anything else.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36We need to take your clothes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Don't worry, we'll give you something else to wear,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42but the police need your clothes for evidence, so...
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I'll... I'll wait outside, OK?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Doctor...
0:06:08 > 0:06:09My solicitor has advised me
0:06:09 > 0:06:11to account for my movements this morning,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13so I've made a statement.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20My plane arrived, on schedule, at eight.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I picked up my car and went to see a friend...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Does she have a name?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25His name is Jack Perry.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28He's a student at Birmingham University.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31His address is Flat 7, Albion Court, Malvern Avenue.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Luxury flats.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Are you sure he's just a student?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I was there from about 9.30 till about 2.30.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I drove home, which took 15 minutes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43I found my wife dead
0:06:43 > 0:06:45and dialled 999.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47That's all I have to say.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Interview paused at 17.05.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56BEEP
0:07:01 > 0:07:03She's been beaten repeatedly.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05She's got scars all over her back.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08She's been beaten recently, last few days.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09She's covered in bruises.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Who did it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12She said she couldn't tell me.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13And she's malnourished.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16She claims to be 22, she even got the date of birth right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18She looks about 16.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21There's something odd about her. Not the full shilling.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Well, she is terrified.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26She's under arrest on suspicion of murder. Hardly surprising.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I don't think it's us she's terrified of.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30So, who?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32The husband?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The wife?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36See, I don't get why Mr Mansour's protecting her.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38He insists that she didn't do anything to his wife,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40which makes me think, "What's that girl got on him?"
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Whatever happened in that house, I think she's a victim.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45How about this -
0:07:45 > 0:07:46maybe...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48the husband likes to beat girls.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50That sort of thing turns him on.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52He's beating Malia,
0:07:52 > 0:07:53she's blackmailing him.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54So, how come the wife ended up dead?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57And if she's a blackmailer, how come she doesn't have any money?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Huh.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Is she all right to interview?- Yeah.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04All right, let's ask her.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05We're ready to interview.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07You said you don't want a lawyer. Is that still the case?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Yes, sir. No lawyer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I think she's a vulnerable person.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12She should have an appropriate adult.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Is there anyone we can call for you?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- Family?- No, sir.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- We'll get a social worker, then. - I want him!
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Dr Jimmi, please.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- ADDISON SIGHS - All right. Let's go.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28What do you think?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I couldn't live without my musicals.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32And Glee.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Glee?!- TV show.- I know.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37They look fantastic, Rob.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's...lovely.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Shall we have a tune?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Erm...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Well, we're not really singers.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Not you, me!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47You've taken me in, the least I can do is serenade you.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Lovely!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Malia, you can sit down.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Sit there.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yes, sir. Sorry.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Simple question to start.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Why did you break the window?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Were you trying to break out of the house?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Is that a "no comment"?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I can't tell you what to say.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16No-one's going to hurt you.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Just answer the questions honestly.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- I can't.- Why not?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23My family will be killed.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Who told you that?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Mr and Mrs Mansour.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Where's your family?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The Sudan, sir.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Well, right now Mr Mansour's in custody.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And Mrs Mansour's dead.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So how's he going to kill your family
0:09:38 > 0:09:40when they're thousands of miles away?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43I don't know, sir.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I don't know. I...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Listen, he's right. You're safe. Nothing bad's going to happen.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51If you tell us, maybe we can help you.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13How long have you worked there?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Ten years and two months.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Since 2006.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21How old were you when you started?
0:10:21 > 0:10:2312.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24What do you do?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26All the housework.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27What do they pay you?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29They don't.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Where do you live?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35In the house.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37That room you saw,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40he said it was the laundry room, but...
0:10:40 > 0:10:41that's my place.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You've been in that house for ten years?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Do you go out?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50In summer,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52sometimes they let me work in the garden.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I meant outside the property.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56No, I'm not allowed.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Not even down the street?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The shops?
0:10:59 > 0:11:00No, sir. I have never been.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02People must come to the house -
0:11:02 > 0:11:03workmen, visitors.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I'm not allowed to speak to them.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08They said, if I ever tried to run away,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11or contact the authorities,
0:11:11 > 0:11:12or use the phone,
0:11:12 > 0:11:13or talk to people...
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Malia...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Doc says you've been beaten.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I saw the marks on your back.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Who did that to you?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29She did.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32He was away most of the time,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34she was always there.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Why did she beat you?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37If I did something wrong
0:11:37 > 0:11:39or if she wasn't happy.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41That's assault.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42A crime.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Do you understand?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46They can do what they like,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47that's what she said,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49because they own me.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Own you? How?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52They bought me -

0:12:20 > 0:12:21'Oh, Mum, it's horrible.'
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I don't know what I'm going to do.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25They've put me in this attic.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's cold and damp.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I saw a rat, I swear to God.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31There's no TV, no Wi-Fi.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33They don't celebrate Christmas.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35They think it's ungodly.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Basically...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40they're really easy to wind up.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43All right, yeah, take care.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44I'll see you as soon as I can.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I love you. Bye-bye. Bye, Mum.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Your face!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Are you always this much of a wind-up merchant?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I get it from my mum.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Is that so?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56You don't really think she's having a hip operation?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Oh, no - she's on some cheap deal in Torremolinos
0:13:00 > 0:13:02with her scaggy boyfriend.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I can see I'm going to have to keep my eye on you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07That's all I ask, Karen.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Keep me in your spotlight!
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Tell me what happened today.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I didn't kill her.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- You were in the house. - Yes, sir, but I didn't see...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Just say exactly what you remember.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I was ironing...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28..and then I heard her scream.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29A crash.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So, I went to look and she was...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I felt for a heartbeat, there was nothing.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You didn't call 999.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'm not allowed to use the phone.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40And what could I do?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42She was already dead.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44And he was coming back,
0:13:44 > 0:13:45so...
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I went and hid.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49And I heard the police come in...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51but...
0:13:51 > 0:13:53then I thought...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56"Now she's dead, maybe I can try and get out,"
0:13:56 > 0:13:58so I broke the window.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Why do you think she fell down the stairs?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02She was drinking.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05She would drink all day, sometimes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06She was drunk today?
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09We'll find out.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11We can do tests to see how much alcohol was in her system.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- So, if you're lying... - I'm not lying.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15That's what she did.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18She would drink and she would beat me...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21..and she will never beat me again.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26SHE SCREAMS
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Please don't think of this as "am-dram".
0:14:32 > 0:14:36We are working to the highest possible level.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Every line will be learnt...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42DOOR SLAMS
0:14:42 > 0:14:45..and everyone will be punctual.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Good of you to join us.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Sorry, the traffic was bad.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Now, I hope you've all had a chance to read my adaptation.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- Do you have...? - TABLE SCRAPES LOUDLY ON FLOOR
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Say it again. I missed that bit.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03You've all had a chance to read my adaptation.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Do you have any questions?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Oh, yes, I have.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I was just wondering why there are so many narrators,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12cos there's Zara and there's Ruhma, and they're also playing parts as well,
0:15:12 > 0:15:13so won't that just be confusing?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15It's a recognised style.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16We all narrate,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18we move the scenery,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20we play music.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24It's a homage to David Edgar's 1980s adaptation
0:15:24 > 0:15:25of Nicholas Nickleby for the RSC.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It's called "Rough Theatre".
0:15:27 > 0:15:30It will be rough with us doing it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Now, a few people can't make it -
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Jimmi, Karen and Daniel -
0:15:34 > 0:15:36but I would like to introduce Lena,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39who's very kindly agreed to be our stage manager.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Hello.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I'm really looking forward to working with Heston, and all of you.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47You say that now.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Jack Perry's vouched for you.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50He says you arrived at 9.30
0:15:50 > 0:15:52and left just after 2.30.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Obviously, we've checked the CCTV
0:15:54 > 0:15:58and your vehicle was parked outside Mr Perry's flat all that time.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02There's only one entrance, and neither of you left.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You were there when your wife died.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Of course.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'm telling the truth.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10We also found out that Mr Perry's a male escort.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Really?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I had no idea.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15So, what were you doing at his flat?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16We're friends.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18We drink coffee,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20talk about books.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22That's not what Mr Perry says.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26He told us that you go there for sex.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's a regular arrangement.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32You pay generously, so do his other clients.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That's how he's funding his degree.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40I'm not a homosexual.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Of course not, sir.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45You just like having sex with men.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'm a married man.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48I have sons.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I provide for my family.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52That's what a proper man does.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Did your wife know?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Maybe it was convenient for you that she died.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59"Convenient"?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Do you think I want to be gay?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06To come out?
0:17:06 > 0:17:07In my community?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Actually...
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I believe you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It worked nicely for you, didn't it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17As long as you had her...
0:17:17 > 0:17:19nobody wondered about you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22But, see, that's the trouble with suspicious deaths -
0:17:22 > 0:17:24all sorts of secrets come out of the woodwork.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25But I'm innocent.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29No-one needs to know about this conversation.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Maybe.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Maybe not.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I can't give you any guarantees.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Look on the bright side, though -
0:17:36 > 0:17:38you've got a solid alibi.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44So...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46am I free to go?
0:17:46 > 0:17:47HE SCOFFS
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Not yet.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52We've dealt with your private life,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53now I want to talk to you about Malia.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Why? She's not important.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I believe that you and your wife kept Malia as a slave...
0:17:58 > 0:17:59"Slave"?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01..which is illegal under the Slavery Act.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Valerie.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Ooh!
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Oh, good. Everyone!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16What?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Everyone!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23THEY LAUGH
0:18:23 > 0:18:24And bow.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Fantastic!
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Zara.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Erm...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32OK.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I'm most awfully pleased to meet you.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37"I'm most awfully pleased to meet you."
0:18:37 > 0:18:41ALL: "I'm most awfully pleased to meet you."
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Al, are you going to join us?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44No. Bah, humbug.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47ALL: "No. Bah, humbug."
0:18:48 > 0:18:50THEY LAUGH
0:18:50 > 0:18:52As Peter Brook once said, "A play is play."
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And as John Gielgud once said to Peter Brook,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57"We open a week on Wednesday."
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Who's that? Mr Grumpy-pants?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00No, it's just Al.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Don't worry, though, he's going to make a fantastic Mr Scrooge.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I can see that!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I was away on business most of the time.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Habiba dealt with the domestic arrangements.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I assumed Malia was being paid.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- How long has she worked for you? - I don't know.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I don't take an interest in these matters.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Did she live in the house?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20No, she has a flat somewhere.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I'm showing the suspect Exhibit SJC1 -
0:19:24 > 0:19:26photos of an area in your house
0:19:26 > 0:19:29which you described as the laundry room.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Malia says it's her room,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33and you and your wife imprisoned her for years.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35"Imprisoned"? I don't know why she's telling such lies!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Surely you don't...- She's not lying about the beatings, is she?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Our doctor examined her.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40She's been beaten repeatedly.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- That's terrible.- Yeah.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Do you know who did it?- No!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I would never strike a woman, nor would my wife.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Who did, then?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49I don't know!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I don't know anything about this wretched girl!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Malia claims that she's been working for you, unpaid, for ten years.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55But that's ridiculous.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58That would mean we employed her since she was 12.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03So you DO know how old she is, then.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12He's a nice kid, isn't he?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13He's as camp as Christmas.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Well, that's appropriate, then.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18He doesn't seem too worried about his mum.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Oh, Rob, it's all front.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23He's got more front than Blackpool.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Right, I'm going to sort out my garage.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31You all right?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Want another mince pie?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34No. I'm watching my figure.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37So...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41..it must be really weird
0:20:41 > 0:20:44being away from home at Christmas.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46What did you and your mum do?
0:20:46 > 0:20:47I want to try and make it the same.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Well...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51as soon as it's past midnight,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- I get to open all of my presents...- OK.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56..and then I can have as much chocolate and crisps as I want.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I get to choose what we watch on TV.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Really?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02No!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04No, Mum's well strict.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05We can't afford loads of presents,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and she's dead set on me eating my greens.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11She makes me eat all of my sprouts before I can have any pudding,
0:21:11 > 0:21:12and she gives me loads.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13She's heartless, honestly.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15She sounds it(!)
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Don't worry about doing anything special.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Do what you normally do.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Right, wrap the presents at three o'clock on Christmas morning
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and panic about the turkey!
0:21:24 > 0:21:26That sounds like a proper family Christmas.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Do you know, I think I'm going to like it here.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34You say that Malia wasn't a slave, that your wife employed her and paid her.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Yes.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Did your wife have her own money?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Her own bank account?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40No. She had credit cards.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42She could buy whatever she wanted,
0:21:42 > 0:21:43I pay the bills.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45There was no need for a bank account.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46So you controlled the money?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Yes.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51So you'll be able to tell us exactly when and how Malia was paid.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- No.- We're going to go through your finances -
0:21:53 > 0:21:55every bill, every bank statement.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Go ahead.- We've already looked at some...- Good.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59..and there's no sign of you paying her anything.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Not even cash-in-hand.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03She's got no credit card, no phone, no keys.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06In fact, Malia doesn't officially exist.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08She's worked for you for years,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and she doesn't even have a national insurance number.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11How do you explain that?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Maybe my wife wasn't employing her legally.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Yeah, you can blame your wife for everything, now that she's dead.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17It's not blame.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18We did find this.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25I've shown the suspect Exhibit SJC2 -
0:22:25 > 0:22:28a child's passport in the name of Malia Ibrahim,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30issued June 2006.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's expired.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33You had her passport.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35You bought her, you owned her.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You kept her as a slave for ten years, you and your wife.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40She can't be tried for that...
0:22:40 > 0:22:41but you can.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Heston, the Cratchits -
0:23:02 > 0:23:04they're working-class, right?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I think I might call them lower-middle.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Right.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13OBJECT CLATTERS Whoo!
0:23:13 > 0:23:14A ghost!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19No, actually, they're Cockneys, aren't they?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21So, shouldn't we be doing accents?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Oh, yeah, OK.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Try one. See if it works.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31BAD COCKNEY ACCENT: How did little Tim beha-a-ave?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- HE LAUGHS - I'm sorry.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Look, I haven't even practised. I'm giving it...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Let's forget the accent for now
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and concentrate on the emotional truth of the character.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Heston, would you like me to read in Tiny Tim's lines?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45That would be very useful.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Who's playing him, anyway? Do we have a child?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Actually, my little boy is.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50He's very talented and super-keen.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Aw, that's great.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Hope you can put up with my rendition for now.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Cool.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Zara, could you go back to the narration?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05"And then came Mrs Cratchit,
0:24:05 > 0:24:06"dressed up, but poorly,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08"in a twice-turned gown
0:24:08 > 0:24:11"but brave in ribbons, and laid the cloth."
0:24:11 > 0:24:14And then I come in with Tiny Tim on my shoulders?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Mm-hm.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- That's not going to happen.- No!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- I'll just say it from here.- OK.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- IN HIGH VOICE:- "God bless us, every one!"
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Sid!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Sid, are you going to ever actually say a line?!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Sorry. It's like hiccups, you can't stop.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Sorry, that was my fault.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33OK, let's take five, everyone.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Do you understand what DI Addison said, yeah?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You're free to go. There's no charge.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- "Free"? - You're not going to be on your own.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51There'll be someone there to look after you, to help you adjust.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53It's going to take some time but...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56there are people, there are organisations there to support you.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58What will it be like?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Better than where you were.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Malia, what Mr Mansour did to you...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06..was a crime.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08He's been charged and he'll be tried.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Hopefully, you'll be able to stay in the country at least until then,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and then maybe you'll have permanent leave to remain.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Why would I want to stay?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Dr Jimmi, people came to the house all the time.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I served them food and drinks.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22They saw me...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26..but they didn't see me...
0:25:26 > 0:25:27and they didn't care...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30so I just want to go home and...
0:25:30 > 0:25:33find my family, if they're still alive.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37There is nothing here, but...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39thank you, Dr Jimmi.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You've been kind.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Good luck with everything.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47- Take care.- Thank you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Malia!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56When I call, you come immediately!
0:25:56 > 0:25:57You're useless.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59A lazy, stupid girl.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Don't you dare look at me that way.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I will kill you!
0:26:05 > 0:26:08SHE SCREAMS
0:26:22 > 0:26:25SHE WHIMPERS
0:26:39 > 0:26:40APPLAUSE
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Fantastic effort, everyone. Well done.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Or, to translate, that was dreadful and he's in despair.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47It was a nightmare.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I knew I couldn't act, and if I keep getting the giggles...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I really enjoyed it.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Yeah, you can. You're not in it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54It's great.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56You're going to be great, Sid.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- Don't worry about clearing up. I'll do it.- Really? Thank you.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Thank you so much, Lena.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04What do you think of my actors?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- They're great.- They are, aren't they?- Yes, they are.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Really committed.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09It's brilliantly cast.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Thank you.- Everyone's right for the part they play.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Heston, quick word. - Oh, I thought you'd gone.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's just a few extra notes, actually -
0:27:15 > 0:27:17but, firstly, I want to talk to you about Joe.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20He is so good. I think his part should be expanded.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22So I've just got, in here, a few tweaks...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and I'm considering, also, the opening and finale.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26I think probably he could do a little bit of a solo.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28At the very end, we're all standing around -
0:27:28 > 0:27:32he could hold a little candle that would light his face, he'd look adorable...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I'm just making sure she feels loved.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You're treating her like a child.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Well, mentally, she is a child.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41She's been having a series of injections at St Phil's
0:27:41 > 0:27:43into the flexor muscles of her right hand.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44I am ze Ghost of Noel Passe.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Lose the French.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I am the Ghost of Christmas Present.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Now, Leatherbridge will pay top dollar to see that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Gawd bless us, every one!
