I don't like people very much. I'm just not a very nice person.

0:00:010:00:05

The world is broken. You shouldn't watch scary movies close to bedtime. We may dislike Mr Foyle.

0:00:050:00:10

We do not have to like him to defend him.

0:00:100:00:13

I don't do things for exposure. Why then? Everyone deserves a defence.

0:00:130:00:16

Given the press this case has generated, Mr Foyle cannot be given a fair trial.

0:00:160:00:21

I have no alternative but to discharge the jury

0:00:210:00:23

and release the defendant.

0:00:230:00:26

Will, good man. Thank you, my friend.

0:00:260:00:28

Pleasure. Take care.

0:00:290:00:31

We'll see you up there. But hurry up, I want to show you something.

0:00:330:00:37

Aaargh!

0:00:370:00:39

Kate?! Jamie!

0:00:390:00:41

Dad! Jamie!

0:00:410:00:43

You're defending him. Everyone deserves a defence. That's right.

0:00:430:00:49

That's right.

0:00:490:00:51

This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:570:01:01

LOUD BIRDSONG

0:01:230:01:25

Mum! Mum! Dad!

0:01:410:01:44

Help! Dad! Dad! No! DAD!!

0:01:440:01:51

Dad!! No! All right... All right...

0:01:510:01:54

HE COUGHS It's all right, all right. It's OK.

0:01:540:01:57

It's all right, it's all right. Shh. Ssshhhh...

0:01:580:02:03

LABOURED BREATHS Ssshhhh...

POLICE SIREN RECEDES

0:02:140:02:16

Harris? Trevor Harris. Anyone?

0:02:170:02:20

Plea and case management on Will's case.

0:02:200:02:24

Whole thing just got moved up. We'll have to change the dates. Good.

0:02:240:02:28

No, not good at all.

0:02:280:02:30

We need all the bloody time we can get.

0:02:310:02:33

We're absolutely sure Will's son didn't see anything.

0:02:400:02:43

It's just if we had two witness statements. I mean,

0:02:430:02:46

it would take the weight off the DNA.

0:02:460:02:48

If it comes in. This is where we are.

0:02:480:02:50

This is what we've have to work with. Blood, ID, alibi.

0:02:500:02:54

And God help us, a following wind.

0:02:550:02:57

No, that's what I'm trying to explain to you.

0:02:590:03:02

Look, my wife does not wear aftershave

0:03:020:03:04

and I am not the least bit interested in Peter Rabbit collectibles.

0:03:040:03:08

So if you want me to join the dots for you, someone has stolen my wife's identity.

0:03:080:03:14

Yeah, well, that's not going to happen, is it?

0:03:140:03:16

Well, you can't talk to her.

0:03:160:03:19

Yeah, I already identified her.

0:03:190:03:21

I walked into the mortuary and kissed her face.

0:03:210:03:23

Yeah. CLATTERS

0:03:240:03:26

Did I scare you?

0:03:330:03:35

I'm sorry.

0:03:360:03:38

I wish things could be different, but they're not.

0:03:440:03:47

HE SIGHS

0:03:470:03:49

Look, if you ever want to tell me something, anything,

0:03:500:03:53

about what happened, I'll be here. OK?

0:03:530:03:56

Just come right out and say it.

0:03:560:03:58

I'll be listening.

0:03:590:04:01

Yeah?

0:04:010:04:04

When it rains, what happens to all the little animals?

0:04:220:04:25

Do they drown, do you think? Mr Foyle.

0:04:250:04:27

I used to love it when it rained.

0:04:270:04:29

But now I get so sad when it's wet out cos all I can think about is

0:04:290:04:32

all these little bodies clawing and squeaking at the earth and the mud

0:04:320:04:36

and the water and drowning in the dark.

0:04:360:04:38

It's a shame the plants have to drink. I know they do,

0:04:390:04:42

but it's a shame. I get so sad when it's wet.

0:04:430:04:45

Especially after the summer we had.

0:04:450:04:48

Mr Foyle, we need to be sure that you understand your plea.

0:04:480:04:52

Is there any evidence that puts me at the cottage?

0:04:520:04:55

You were charged on the basis of one eyewitness identification.

0:04:550:04:59

One. Yes, one. The son hasn't made a statement. Not yet.

0:04:590:05:04

Yet.

0:05:050:05:06

You think he saw something?

0:05:060:05:09

There's only one witness. That's what we're dealing with.

0:05:090:05:12

What's that?

0:05:130:05:14

Tea. HE LAUGHS

0:05:140:05:17

What kind of tea? My tea.

0:05:170:05:19

We also need to talk about your alibi, Ms Morris.

0:05:200:05:24

We go into considerable detail in our defence statement about our whereabouts that evening

0:05:240:05:29

and we are confident she will support this.

0:05:290:05:31

Then why do we need to discuss this? Because we need to discuss this.

0:05:310:05:35

Mr Burton is the only witness in this whole case.

0:05:370:05:41

So he can't act for himself.

0:05:420:05:45

You're well-versed in criminal procedure. I did a law course.

0:05:450:05:49

Oh, really, where was that? Cambridge.

0:05:490:05:52

Anglia Polytechnic University.

0:05:530:05:55

We probably cycled past one another on Silver Street.

0:05:550:05:59

It's a small world. Indeed.

0:06:020:06:05

Yes, you're right, Mr Burton will not be in court.

0:06:050:06:08

As he's a witness, he cannot act for the Crown in any way.

0:06:080:06:11

It's just that, you know, he kept beating you, is all.

0:06:110:06:15

He's not allowed to be there.

0:06:150:06:17

So he just has to watch.

0:06:200:06:22

I suppose so.

0:06:230:06:25

Besides, it was very dark.

0:06:270:06:30

Indeed.

0:06:340:06:36

Shame about all those animals,

0:06:400:06:42

isn't it?

0:06:430:06:45

You have qualms.

0:06:500:06:52

I beg your pardon? It's your first big defence. You're working late.

0:06:540:06:58

You have qualms. He lost his wife.

0:06:580:07:00

If the tables were turned, he would not hesitate.

0:07:000:07:03

This is how it works.

0:07:030:07:05

I just know that if I was Will...

0:07:060:07:08

Ah. But you're not him, are you?

0:07:080:07:11

Not yet, anyway.

0:07:130:07:15

HE SHUTS DOOR

0:07:230:07:25

THUNDERCLAP

0:07:280:07:30

All right? I've probably only got about five minutes. It's a bit of a crazy morning. How's it looking?

0:07:430:07:49

Every time I pass the conference room there's a huge queue of people

0:07:490:07:52

knocking on the door. Everyone wants to help, mate.

0:07:520:07:56

Who's leading? Mr Mayfield.

0:07:560:07:58

Mr Harris is his junior. Everyone else was busy.

0:08:000:08:03

Any idea what they are running with?

0:08:050:08:07

You don't have to say a thing if you don't want to.

0:08:090:08:11

Forensics found a size 12 boot print in the garden.

0:08:130:08:17

But all Foyle's footwear is a size nine. No match on the tread.

0:08:170:08:20

So as far as I can tell they are all waiting for the forensics' report.

0:08:200:08:24

The crime scene blood. Plus, your ID of him.

0:08:240:08:28

And? I think that's it.

0:08:300:08:33

What about his alibi? His neighbour said she had dinner with him. They are looking into possible angles.

0:08:360:08:42

What's this woman's name? Eileen Morris.

0:08:420:08:44

Say that again.

0:08:450:08:48

Eileen Morris, right? Did a little rooting around in the old case file.

0:08:480:08:51

This is all I could come up with.

0:08:540:08:56

He's a bird fancier, if you remember.

0:08:560:08:58

See who's presenting him with that trophy?

0:08:590:09:02

"Parish Council Events Committee Co-Chair Eileen Morris."

0:09:020:09:06

That's all I've got for you I'm afraid.

0:09:060:09:08

There was something else. I'm sure I've seen her name somewhere else.

0:09:090:09:13

Thanks, Bob.

0:09:130:09:15

You're welcome.

Foyle's alibi might not be as solid as they're making out.

0:10:310:10:34

How do you know that?

0:10:340:10:36

Doesn't seem fair.

0:10:400:10:42

Biggest legal brain in the building,

0:10:420:10:44

can't even talk to them about your own bloody case.

0:10:440:10:47

No, I can't.

0:10:470:10:49

Not directly.

0:10:490:10:51

It's not like I am defending him anymore, is it?

0:10:510:10:54

Do you have any idea where the Sandra Mullins case files are?

0:10:540:10:57

I think so, yeah. Big box. Stubbed my toe on it last week.

0:10:570:11:01

Do you think it might be near my office?

0:11:030:11:06

I think it could be.

Mr Harris!

0:11:480:11:50

Did you see the Collingwood arson brief? The private one?

0:11:500:11:54

Yes, I caught sight of it as it flew past me at high velocity

0:11:540:11:57

on its way to one of the silks. Why don't you take a page out of Tara's book?

0:11:570:12:01

My nose is brown enough already, thank you.

0:12:010:12:04

She does what she has to. Why don't you do that now and then? Because then I'd be like Tara, wouldn't I?

0:12:040:12:10

You heading over? Foyle's making his plea. Right.

0:12:100:12:14

So it's started. How's it looking, do you think? No sign of DNA at the scene,

0:12:140:12:18

single eyewitness, recognition under duress. Not a lot of wiggle room.

0:12:180:12:22

Will's boy was there - but if he had seen something, well,

0:12:220:12:25

he would have said something, wouldn't he?

0:12:250:12:28

Mr Harris.

0:12:300:12:32

Don't. No, I've been thinking. Well, stop.

0:12:320:12:34

I mean it.

0:12:340:12:36

HE EXHALES

0:12:450:12:47

Time to go.

0:12:490:12:51

Hi, Jamie, welcome back.

0:13:030:13:05

Are you OK? See you. Are you all right? All right.

0:13:060:13:10

Liam Michael Foyle, you are charged on this indictment

0:13:330:13:37

with one count of murder. How do you plead? Not guilty.

0:13:370:13:41

My Lord, given the lack of evidence at this time we are serving a bail application notice.

0:13:410:13:46

First I've heard of it. It was served in good time.

0:13:460:13:49

I thought I gave it to you. Well, I read it.

0:13:490:13:51

Bail granted, subject to conditions as per application.

0:13:510:13:55

Thank you. Also, I've spoken to the List Officer who's informed me

0:13:550:13:58

a slot is available for a week-long case on the 31st. Very well. Wait.

0:13:580:14:02

That's only a few weeks away. It hardly gives us any time to prepare the evidence? What evidence?

0:14:020:14:08

Mr Foyle, you may leave the dock.

0:14:080:14:10

All rise.

0:15:220:15:24

I made you some crumble.

0:15:250:15:27

I must have left my cage open cos a little birdie just bailed me out.

0:15:270:15:31

You shouldn't have done that, Eileen, really.

0:15:310:15:34

It takes half an hour.

0:15:340:15:36

That's not what I am talking about. Oh, please. I was happy to pay.

0:15:360:15:40

Welcome home.

0:15:420:15:44

Apple or plum? Rhubarb. It's in the fridge at the parish council,

0:15:460:15:50

waiting for you. It won't be there too long, I promise.

0:15:500:15:53

Lots to be getting on with. Oh, sure.

0:15:570:15:59

I fed them every day, just like you asked. Good.

0:16:300:16:32

All right, let's run it again, shall we?

0:16:490:16:51

Post mortem indicates Kate was strangled before he cut into her.

0:16:510:16:55

The knife entered... Any update on the footprints?

0:16:550:16:58

Locus is littered with them, all the wrong size.

0:16:580:17:01

After that, the blade passed through the trachea... You don't "pass through" the trachea.

0:17:010:17:07

It's a sawing motion. The core strength of a fast bowler.

0:17:070:17:10

Gavin! One hell of a blood spatter.

0:17:100:17:12

Will's here.

0:17:120:17:14

How the hell did this happen? The usual way.

0:17:180:17:20

What? He came in the front door. (Close the bloody folder, will you?)

0:17:200:17:24

(There's pictures of his wife!)

0:17:240:17:26

Call ahead if you're going to just turn up. I work here, too.

0:17:260:17:29

Everyone's behind you, but get caught trying to influence the case, you're jeopardising the enterprise.

0:17:290:17:35

You're the only witness. So hands off. Protocol doesn't just need to be followed,

0:17:350:17:39

it needs to be seen to be followed. I know. I actually studied law.

0:17:390:17:42

We'd prefer it if you didn't even come into chambers. If I have to stay home one more day,

0:17:420:17:47

I swear I'm going to kill somebody.

0:17:470:17:49

I need to work. Please?

0:17:510:17:52

It was today, wasn't it? The plea?

0:17:560:17:58

They didn't call you? They should've called you.

0:17:580:18:01

Talk to me! Not guilty.

0:18:020:18:05

Remanded where? The Scrubs?

0:18:070:18:09

Actually he got bail.

0:18:100:18:12

Already in custody, low risk of absconding.

0:18:120:18:14

It's conditional. When was this? This morning. Ohh!

0:18:140:18:17

You should really be doing this through the... proper channels.

0:18:170:18:22

Lend us chewing gum. Yeah. Did you hear about Dr Foster? Yeah.

0:18:280:18:32

Dr Foster. THEY CHATTER

0:18:320:18:34

It's Will Burton, Jamie's Dad. Tell him I'll be there to pick him up?

0:18:440:18:47

"He left with Alfie, they said they were getting the bus together."

0:18:470:18:51

All right, thanks.

0:19:140:19:16

Connor, have you seen Jamie? No. OK. No, I haven't.

0:19:230:19:26

Mum, anything? Is he here? They said he'd already left.

0:19:440:19:49

Why didn't you call me?!

0:19:490:19:51

Hi, Pat, is Jamie there? I was wondering if he came home with Alfie? Have you tried the library?

0:20:050:20:10

TRAFFIC ROARS

0:20:100:20:12

Is that a new phone? I got it recently.

0:20:130:20:17

Listen to this.

0:20:170:20:19

Yeah, I heard it on the radio yesterday.

0:20:230:20:27

Ah, it's my stop. See you. See you at school.

0:20:280:20:30

Did he get off at Alfie's stop?

0:20:540:20:56

OK. All right.

0:20:570:20:59

No, don't worry. Don't worry. Thanks.

0:20:590:21:01

That's it, I'm calling the police.

0:21:010:21:04

DOOR SHUTS Jamie?!

0:21:040:21:06

Where have you been?! We went to the shop. Did you talk to anyone? No.

0:21:070:21:11

Promise me you'll not talk to anyone you don't know, OK? Not on the street, the playground, not anywhere.

0:21:110:21:17

I'm picking you up from school from now on. OK? Every single day. OK?

0:21:170:21:22

Dad! Just give me a minute.

0:21:220:21:24

RUSSIAN ACCENT: The sea lions of Moscow are horny this time of year. Up yours.

0:21:410:21:45

Oh, relax.

0:21:450:21:47

Right, come on. Let's go upstairs. Why?

0:21:470:21:50

Come on, boy. HE WHISTLES

0:21:500:21:52

Come on.

0:21:520:21:54

Couldn't meet in a park? It's the best place to hide, in a crowd.

0:22:000:22:04

In plain sight. Plain stupid.

0:22:040:22:06

We're just chatting. Two blokes having a chat.

0:22:060:22:09

What do you want to do?

0:22:100:22:13

Let's talk football.

0:22:130:22:15

I used to love our team. I still love our team.

0:22:150:22:18

D'you know what I think the problem is? We're missing our star striker.

0:22:180:22:22

No way can he can play. It's against the rules.

0:22:220:22:25

He can hardly score goals from the bench. He can't even watch the match.

0:22:250:22:28

He's forbidden from watching the match. Absolutely.

0:22:280:22:31

So I am thinking that, from time to time,

0:22:310:22:34

maybe I could get someone to talk to you about our attacking game. Danny.

0:22:340:22:38

The door's over there if you're feeling uncomfortable. I say a door.

0:22:380:22:42

You need a better goalmouth strategy. Christ, don't do that. What's the matter?

0:22:420:22:47

What's the matter? What's the matter? Trevor. Hi. What's the matter?

0:22:470:22:51

You do know what it is you're doing, what we're doing, don't you?

0:22:510:22:55

What is it we're doing exactly? We're talking. About football.

0:22:550:22:58

Here we are, men talking about football. Nothing wrong with that.

0:22:580:23:02

0:23:050:23:08

I appreciate you must have been hoping that Mayfield would pick

0:23:080:23:11

someone else, someone more suited, perhaps, to something like this,

0:23:110:23:16

but the fact is, everyone else was gainfully employed and, well,

0:23:160:23:21

I'm just sorry it had to be me.

0:23:210:23:23

You're the hardest-working barrister in the set. Well, I...

0:23:230:23:28

Thank you. All the same,

0:23:290:23:31

I need to think about it. Foyle had a storage unit.

0:23:310:23:34

He told us about it during the Sandra Mullins trial.

0:23:340:23:37

He cleared it out six months before the murder.

0:23:370:23:40

It played no further part in the proceedings. Someone took it on after him. Eileen Morris.

0:23:400:23:44

If something's not turning up it just might mean you need to look for it somewhere else.

0:26:220:26:25

Tonight's a bit difficult. Difficult for all of us, my dear.

0:26:260:26:31

Foyle is our client. He's called a meeting.

0:26:310:26:33

"We have a duty to listen."

0:26:330:26:35

"He sounds very interested." Yeah. "Says he's remembered something."

Jesus. You were half a second away from an eye patch.

0:28:100:28:13

Foyle murdered Sandra Mullins. You need to know that. You said otherwise in court.

0:28:130:28:18

I see things differently now. If you had reservations you should have acted on those.

0:28:180:28:22

He claimed his innocence and I spoke for him. I lawyered him out of it, that's all.

0:28:220:28:27

But I know he killed her. He is a murderer, there is no doubt. We differ on this point.

0:28:270:28:31

I mean it. You need to be careful. You can't stand seeing me do well, can you?

0:28:310:28:36

This is good for me. Good for you?

0:28:360:28:39

I am truly sorry for what happened to you, but this is a job.

0:28:390:28:43

Work is work. That's it. Foyle murdered Kate.

0:28:440:28:47

You let that man in, you are risking everything.

All the same we need to collate some skeleton arguments on how to beat

0:31:000:31:03

Yes, thank you for all your help. We said we'd be there for him.

0:31:030:31:07

Yes, well we will be. How, exactly?

0:31:070:31:09

I think we've missed a trick. I've been digging in the old files.

0:31:090:31:12

There was a storage unit.

0:31:120:31:14

Foyle had one before the Sandra Mullins murder.

0:31:140:31:16

It didn't make it into the evidence because he'd emptied it six months before.

0:31:160:31:21

It was passed on to somebody else. Want to guess who?

0:31:210:31:24

She's his alibi. She cooked him dinner at her home.

0:31:270:31:30

OK...

0:31:320:31:34

You're sure she was paying for this? Direct debit ever since.

0:31:340:31:38

If we're drawing a blank on the link to the locus it doesn't mean there isn't one,

it might just mean we're looking in the wrong place.

0:32:240:32:28

I thought you gave one?

0:32:300:32:32

They asked me to clarify it. Again.

0:32:320:32:34

And what did you say? Well, I told them the truth.

0:32:360:32:40

I told them all about our evening.

0:32:410:32:44

Well, there are you, then.

0:32:460:32:48

But why did they need to check up on me like that? I don't know.

0:32:500:32:53

But there's nothing more to worry about,... is there?

0:32:540:32:57

No, I suppose there's not.

They don't have an ounce of mercy in them. And I'll be honest, Eileen.

0:34:190:34:24

They can be very manipulative.

0:34:240:34:26

Eileen, I want to protect you as best as I can, I really do,

0:34:280:34:32

but...

0:34:340:34:36

I need you to be a little more sure of yourself.

0:34:360:34:39

Sure? Of yourself.

0:34:430:34:45

Yeah, I think I can do that, yes.

0:34:460:34:48

You be you... and I'll be them.

0:34:490:34:53

Miss Morris, can you tell the court where you were

0:34:560:35:01

on the evening of the 3rd of December?

0:35:010:35:03

I was at home.

0:35:050:35:07

And what did you have to eat?

0:35:070:35:10

Spaghetti carbonara. Wrong.

0:35:100:35:12

Er... Con funghi. Wrong.

0:35:140:35:16

No, it's not. HE MIMICS HER No, it's not.

0:35:190:35:23

Er... I don't... I don't understand.

0:35:240:35:26

Have courage in your conviction.

What did you have to eat?

0:35:350:35:36

Spaghetti con... fu... um...

0:35:380:35:41

I'm all confused now. Are you, Eileen? Are you confused?

0:35:410:35:44

Confused doesn't help us.

0:35:450:35:48

Confused makes everything go away.

0:35:480:35:50

Am I hurting you? SHE GROANS

0:35:550:35:57

S... Spaghetti Carbonara...

0:36:250:36:29

Cup of tea?

0:36:360:36:38

Gavin, can I ask your expert opinion on something.

0:36:470:36:50

Yes, of course. A barrister can't coach a witness, correct?

0:36:520:36:56

Gross misconduct. He'd be out in a flash.

0:36:560:36:59

What about a witness coaching a barrister?

0:36:590:37:02

I have a friend who is displaying

0:37:040:37:06

a sudden and surprising burst of talent.

0:37:060:37:10

I think he's getting help.

0:37:110:37:13

Well, he's not just risking his own neck.

0:37:140:37:17

He's risking his case, his client, and the reputation of his Chambers.

0:37:170:37:21

So, for the sake of your chum,

0:37:210:37:24

I suggest you find out what's going on.

0:37:240:37:26

Thank you.

0:37:340:37:36

Did you need to go in the other one? They're both mine.

Yes, we will. Well, it's a bit of a, sorry, a bit of a squeeze.

0:37:460:37:50

Cos this one's mine as well, so...

0:37:520:37:54

They found a size 12 boot in the storage unit. It's a strong candidate

0:38:240:38:28

to match a tread in the locus. Foyle's a size nine. Doesn't stop him wearing a bigger boot.

0:38:280:38:33

Forget the alibi, focus on the boot. Get her on stand and make the connection.

0:38:330:38:37

But if we call her as our witness we can't cross examine her on the alibi, can we?

0:38:370:38:41

Her alibi's based on good character. It's a hard sell to undermine her. Show in court

0:38:470:38:52

they have an undisclosed connection through the storage unit, her credibility's undermined.

0:38:520:38:57

You may not have to do that if you prove this boot was at the scene.

0:38:570:39:00

A big choice. It's bite the bullet time. That's the way you should go. Tara's here. Walk away.

0:39:000:39:05

Walk away. Prove the link, undermine her. Double bubble.

0:39:050:39:08

Oh, and make sure that warrant was kosher.

0:39:290:39:33

How bad? "She saw Harris. And she may have seen you too."

0:39:590:40:02

So we're burned. We're done. "So what happens now?"

HE EXHALES We cross our bloody fingers.

0:40:070:40:09

I'm very sorry.

0:40:270:40:29

I crossed a line. Yes, you did.

0:40:360:40:38

I've been so stressed about everything.

0:40:420:40:44

I'm sure you are.

0:40:450:40:47

See you later.

0:41:010:41:03

It's the first day of trial today.

0:41:270:41:29

They'll be arguing about evidence.

0:41:310:41:33

Jury's not in yet. You remember the drill.

0:41:330:41:35

Probably going to take Jamie up to the cottage this weekend,

0:41:400:41:43

go through your stuff. It's time. It might be good for him, you know?

0:41:430:41:47

You were always better at that sort of stuff than me, but we'll see how it goes.

0:41:500:41:55

That way it's done before I have to take the stand.

0:41:580:42:00

Everyone's done what they can. Everyone's been great.

0:42:060:42:09

A lot of people really love you.

0:42:110:42:13

We'll do our best, OK?

0:42:190:42:21

I promise.

0:42:240:42:26

Relax. So they found a boot. Big deal.

0:42:450:42:48

It's not DNA. We stick with what we agreed. Finalise the evidence.

0:42:480:42:52

Eileen will come through for us,... Mr Foyle?

0:42:540:42:58

We had dinner together. She'll confirm that under oath.

0:42:580:43:01

So the boot's not a problem? Not from where I'm sitting.

0:43:010:43:06

Just him and what he says he saw.

0:43:060:43:08

As it stands, yes.

0:43:090:43:12

As it stands.

0:43:120:43:14

0:45:000:45:02

0:45:020:45:06

You? On eBay? You're rubbish with computers.

0:45:060:45:10

Yes. Me. What?

0:45:100:45:12

There's no way. No way.

0:45:120:45:15

You can't even turn a computer on.

0:45:170:45:19

0:45:530:45:57

Can we go back now? Press five on that phone and hold it down.

0:45:570:46:01

"Hello." When were you planning on telling me?! "Will?"

0:46:010:46:04

0:46:040:46:09

0:46:410:46:46

Jamie, what are you saying?

0:46:460:46:48

I scratched his head.

0:46:490:46:51

You scratched him with your hands?!

0:46:520:46:54

And then I hid. You were in a box by the door.

0:46:540:46:57

HE CONTINUES SHOUTING

0:48:300:48:32

Where did this DNA come from, Mr Simpkins!

0:48:350:48:38

"I can't tell you, Mr Foyle."

0:48:380:48:40

Is it from hair, Mr Simpkins? Is it from semen?!

0:48:430:48:44

You've locked him in? He said he'll only speak with you.

0:48:440:48:47

You've locked him in? Correct.

0:48:470:48:49

We were discussing his alibi. Then the conversation drifted to the new DNA evidence. And you let it?

0:48:490:48:55

It's only a low sample. Manifestly unreliable if we do our job properly.

0:48:550:48:58

He's not going to see it that way, is he? I suppose not.

0:48:580:49:01

It puts me there.

0:49:060:49:08

You're concerned about the DNA. It puts me in that cottage.

0:49:090:49:13

It puts me "at the locus", Margaret.

0:49:130:49:16

And now they think it's me.

0:49:160:49:18

They might think it says you were in the cottage... Is this how it's going to be? Here on in.

0:49:180:49:23

Do you think I enjoy spending my life sitting in an airless room with his coffee breath?

Doesn't speak. Doesn't listen. Just keeps moving forward.

HE SIGHS OK,

0:49:380:49:40

we need to back up for moment. We?

0:49:430:49:47

We have a very clear alibi.

0:49:470:49:49

We?

0:49:510:49:53

HE LAUGHS You love it, don't you. "We".

0:49:530:49:56

We are one and the same.

0:49:560:49:59

In terms of this trial, our fates are intertwined.

0:49:590:50:03

But "we" don't go to prison. Do we?

0:50:030:50:05

We were not in the cottage.

0:50:080:50:09

No,... we... weren't.

0:50:090:50:12

So, we need to work out why the DNA would say that.

0:50:120:50:16

But it's science. And you can't argue with science.

0:50:180:50:22

I can, Mr Foyle.

0:50:230:50:25

In fact,

0:50:250:50:28

I can be very persuasive.

0:50:280:50:30

Good.

0:50:350:50:37

Be upstanding in court.

0:51:220:51:24

Mr Burton, I know this is going to be hard for you

0:51:440:51:48

given the circumstances,

0:51:480:51:50

so please take your time.

0:51:500:51:52

I saw him through the window. Him being?

0:51:530:51:55

Liam Foyle. He was known to you?

0:51:550:51:59

Yes. I'd just defended him in a criminal trial.

0:51:590:52:03

How often would you say you saw him during that period? Almost daily.

0:52:030:52:07

Over the trial period, six months.

0:52:070:52:09

Is there any doubt in your mind whatsoever

0:52:090:52:12

that the man you saw during those times

0:52:120:52:15

was the same man you saw staring at you through the kitchen window?

0:52:150:52:19

None whatsoever.

0:52:190:52:21

Ms Gardiner?

0:52:280:52:30

Mr Burton, you are a practising criminal defence barrister, are you not? Yes.

0:52:350:52:40

If a situation arises where a case against an accused

0:52:400:52:44

depends to a great extent on the identification of the accused,

0:52:440:52:48

is there a warning the judge should give the jury? Yes.

0:52:480:52:53

What is that warning called? It's called a Turnbull Direction.

0:52:530:52:56

In your professional opinion, is it important for the judge to warn the jury of the need for caution

0:52:560:53:01

before convicting anyone in any case that relies so heavily

0:53:010:53:05

on eyewitness identification? Yes.

0:53:050:53:07

Should the judge, in that situation, ask the jury to closely examine

0:53:070:53:12

every circumstance in which the identification was made?

0:53:120:53:15

Yes. Would... I can list them for you if you like.

0:53:150:53:20

No, thank you, I'm more than capable of recalling them on my own.

0:53:200:53:23

When you found her body, who did you see in the window?

0:53:240:53:27

I saw Liam Foyle.

0:53:270:53:30

You had "no doubt whatsoever" it was him. Yes.

0:53:300:53:33

There was a second individual present

0:53:330:53:36

at the time Kate Burton was killed, wasn't there?

0:53:360:53:38

Mr Burton?

0:53:400:53:42

Yes.

0:53:430:53:45

This would be your son James, is that right? Yes.

0:53:450:53:49

According to his statement, he was unable to make "any identification

0:53:490:53:55

of the attacker whatsoever." Is that right?

0:53:550:53:58

He's nine years old. He was hiding in a box. So if I might ask again.

0:53:580:54:01

Is it your understanding that he was not able to identify the attacker?

0:54:010:54:05

Yes.

0:54:070:54:09

So 50 percent of persons present

0:54:090:54:11

were not able to give a positive identification of the attacker.

0:54:110:54:15

Mr Burton, when a jury convicts, is it beyond all doubt?

0:54:160:54:20

Is... Is that the term?

0:54:200:54:22

Reasonable doubt. Beyond reasonable doubt.

0:54:260:54:29

Now let's have a think about what might be reasonable

0:54:290:54:32

in this situation, shall we?

0:54:320:54:34

When you saw the man you are alleging was the accused,

0:54:340:54:37

Mr Foyle, was it dark? Yes.

0:54:370:54:41

Were you under stress? Is that a serious question?

0:54:410:54:44

She was pregnant, did you know that? Mr Burton.

0:54:440:54:47

My Lord. Part Seven, Code of Conduct.

0:54:470:54:49

Please try and remember that you are a witness

0:54:490:54:52

and not counsel in this case, Mr Burton.

0:54:520:54:56

I am fully aware of the tragic circumstances we have surrounding us

0:54:560:54:59

and I am keenly aware of Mr Burton's incomprehensible loss, but in the case we have before us,

0:54:590:55:05

Mr Burton's distress cannot be avoided if my client is to be given a fair trial.

0:55:050:55:09

Very well then.

0:55:090:55:11

When you saw the man in the garden, were you under stress in any way?

0:55:110:55:15

Yes. What is a Bar Standards complaint?

0:55:180:55:21

It's a formal letter listing a complaint

0:55:250:55:28

against a practising barrister.

0:55:280:55:31

Have you ever received such a complaint?

0:55:310:55:33

I have.

0:55:350:55:36

Can you tell us who wrote that complaint?

0:55:360:55:39

A former client of mine wrote it. His name, please?

0:55:430:55:46

Liam Foyle.

0:55:510:55:53

In a dark room, in the shock and trauma of finding your wife

0:55:540:55:58

in a pool of blood on the floor,

0:55:580:56:00

holding her in your arms, still unclear as to where your son was,

0:56:000:56:03

you look up at the window and you see a man,

0:56:030:56:06

a man who recently had been given cause to make a serious complaint

0:56:060:56:11

against your conduct to the Bar Standards Board,

0:56:110:56:14

a man whose absence from your life would be very useful indeed.

0:56:140:56:18

But it wasn't that man, was it, Mr Burton?

0:56:180:56:21

You just wanted it to be.

0:56:220:56:24

Stop her. A bit late for that. She's twisting the facts to make them wrong. Doing a good job of it too.

0:57:060:57:11

If Defence had a problem, they should've argued it at the time. The issue has just come to light.

0:57:110:57:16

There's compelling evidence!

0:57:160:57:18

Can I come round tonight, please? I'm freaking out.

0:57:180:57:21

How did he know? There's no way he could have known.

0:57:210:57:24

When you killed her, did she die quickly?

0:57:240:57:27

How do you live with yourself?

0:57:270:57:29

You had us all worried for a minute. I'm just full of surprises.
