0:00:02 > 0:00:04Thank you, my friend. Pleasure. Take care.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09You shouldn't watch scary movies so close to bedtime.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Kate? Jamie!

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Dad!

0:00:15 > 0:00:17You're defending him. You know as well as I do,

0:00:17 > 0:00:19for good or bad, everyone deserves a defence.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21Mr Burton will not be in court.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23As he's a witness, he cannot act for the Crown in any way.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25So he just has to watch.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Foyle had a storage unit. Someone took it on after him.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30If something's not turning up, look somewhere else.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33And what did you make for dinner that night?

0:00:33 > 0:00:34Spaghetti carbonara!

0:00:34 > 0:00:37I should've fought him harder. What are you saying?

0:00:37 > 0:00:39I scratched his head. With your hands?

0:00:39 > 0:00:41And then I hid. You moved?!

0:00:41 > 0:00:44"The forensic team just found DNA at the cottage." Foyle's?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46"They want to meet."

0:00:46 > 0:00:49In the trauma of finding your wife, you look up and see a man

0:00:49 > 0:00:52whose absence from your life would be very useful indeed,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55but it wasn't that man, was it, Mr Burton?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57You just wanted it to be.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Thanks. Morning! Good morning, Doctor Lambert.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Sorry I'm late. Remind me...

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Low-count DNA. Kate Burton. Oh, yeah.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36They'll try and trip you on the low count. Keep your answers simple.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Thanks for the tip. I've only done this three or 400 times.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Did this analysis prove conclusively

0:02:43 > 0:02:46that the DNA discovered in the cottage

0:02:46 > 0:02:48matches that of a particular individual?

0:02:48 > 0:02:51It did. Whose DNA did the sample match?

0:02:51 > 0:02:55We matched the sample to the DNA of Mr Liam Foyle.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57HE SCOFFS

0:02:57 > 0:03:02We are very stringent about our quality controls. We take our job extremely seriously.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03That is very reassuring.

0:03:03 > 0:03:09Were you responsible for analysing DNA samples in connection with Crown vs Foyle last year?

0:03:09 > 0:03:10I believe so.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13You believe so?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Yes, we were.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17And in order to do that, samples of my client's DNA

0:03:17 > 0:03:21would've been sent to and processed by your lab, is that correct?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Well, yes, there's a - Thank you.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26So my client's DNA, at that time,

0:03:26 > 0:03:31would've been effectively distributed throughout that lab like dust through an old house?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34My Lord! I take it this is leading somewhere?

0:03:34 > 0:03:35I'm just arriving now, My Lord.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Dr Lambert, I have a sworn statement from your laboratory

0:03:38 > 0:03:43that confirms a deep clean was performed in all clean-room areas on the 12th of this month.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46You brought the schedule forward. Why was that? Oh, come on!

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Mr Mayfield...

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Dr Lambert, if you please...

0:03:50 > 0:03:52We conduct regular cleaning.

0:03:52 > 0:03:57We recently decided to increase the number of cleans - Why was it brought forward?

0:03:57 > 0:04:02Your cleaning schedule is normally enacted on a regulated basis, so something must've happened.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06It was necessary. Are you or are you not in the process of an internal investigation

0:04:06 > 0:04:10into the viability of contaminants within the laboratory?

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Please answer yes or no.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16But you can't answer... HE SIGHS

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Yes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Are you concerned about your failure rate?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Am I...? Everyone's concerned about their failure rate!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's an industry-wide concern! Thank you.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30My Lord, this is new information. It should've been disclosed, certainly.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34What's clear beyond doubt is, this evidence is utterly compromised.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40You have to stop her. It's a wee bit late for that.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45She's twisting the facts around to make them wrong. Doing a good job of it, too.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48If we don't have this DNA, then what do we have?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52A problem. HE SIGHS

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Spaghetti carbonara

0:04:55 > 0:04:58and an Arctic roll for afters.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Miss Morris, that's a matter for defence counsel.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04All I want to ask you about is the search of your storage unit,

0:05:04 > 0:05:06not the defence alibi, such as it is.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Please stick to the matter at hand. My Lord!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Get on with it, Mr Mayfield.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Miss Morris, you maintain a contract with this storage facility?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16I do, yes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19And when these premises were searched by the police a few days ago,

0:05:19 > 0:05:23a pair of size-12 boots was recovered from your unit,

0:05:23 > 0:05:26isn't that right? Yes, er, the other unit.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Are these your boots? They seem rather large for you!

0:05:29 > 0:05:30What other unit?

0:05:30 > 0:05:34My Lord, this is new information! Which was given to my learned friend yesterday.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Chain of continuity, My Lord...

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Usher. TENSE MUSIC

0:05:41 > 0:05:45The warrant was for Eileen Morris's possessions in the storage unit.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48They had no authority to search F38. If... Only F37.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51The search of F38 was unlawful.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55If defence had a problem with the evidence, they should've argued it at the appropriate time.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57The issue has only just come to light.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Foyle's previous use of F37 connects him to it. It falls within the chain of continuity.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03F38 was entirely separate!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Judge, obviously I ask you to exclude this evidence under Section 78.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09It was the unit next door! It...

0:06:15 > 0:06:19And should you request, I will no doubt accede.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Then, I respectfully submit, My Lord,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26there is no case to answer.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31In the absence of any viable evidence - There is compelling evidence!

0:06:35 > 0:06:40The eyewitness evidence of a broken man,

0:06:40 > 0:06:44alone and devastated in the dark...

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Having heard arguments from counsel

0:06:50 > 0:06:54as to the strength of the evidence at this stage of the trial,

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I have concluded the following...

0:06:58 > 0:07:01There is insufficient evidence

0:07:01 > 0:07:05for the case to continue for your consideration.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08For that reason, on my direction,

0:07:08 > 0:07:12you will return a verdict of not guilty.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14On His Lordship's direction,

0:07:14 > 0:07:18do you find the defendant not guilty?

0:07:18 > 0:07:19FOREWOMAN: Not guilty.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42to administer the dose.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44I'm with you so far.

0:50:44 > 0:50:49But to put so much weight on one dose of allergen might not be enough, don't you think?

0:50:49 > 0:50:52I wouldn't know the first thing about it.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53Step three -

0:50:53 > 0:50:58these people with allergies of such severity that they cause anaphylaxis,

0:50:58 > 0:51:03they carry these little life-saving pens with them, don't they, called EpiPens?

0:51:03 > 0:51:07Do you think it might be possible to repurpose a pen as a poison pen?

0:51:07 > 0:51:11By replacing the carrier solution with a solution of allergen,

0:51:11 > 0:51:15a person might sabotage the very thing that would save a person's life.

0:51:15 > 0:51:18That sounds diabolical. It does, doesn't it?

0:51:19 > 0:51:23You mentioned a legal question. And if that person called 999,

0:51:23 > 0:51:27and they talked them through administering that pen to the victim,

0:51:27 > 0:51:29it's almost collusion in the crime.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32They'd be walking that person, step by step, through the murder.

0:51:32 > 0:51:37Oh, you mean they'd have a public record of the conversation.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39Yes. Ah, that might fly.

0:51:39 > 0:51:43But I really don't think anyone would seriously attempt it.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Why not? I think murder's against the law!

0:51:45 > 0:51:47I mean, last time I looked...

0:51:47 > 0:51:49Will... You're drawing a line. A big red one.

0:51:49 > 0:51:53There's a huge difference between knowing where that line is and stepping over it.

0:51:53 > 0:51:55I know I couldn't.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57Why not?

0:51:57 > 0:51:59I'd be scared of getting caught.

0:51:59 > 0:52:03You just said it was the perfect crime. Oh, it is!

0:52:03 > 0:52:06It is.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10Except for three things...

0:52:12 > 0:52:13Three?

0:52:13 > 0:52:15Really?

0:52:17 > 0:52:19One -

0:52:19 > 0:52:21disposing the weapon.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24There'd be two EpiPens, the innocent one and the murder weapon.

0:52:24 > 0:52:28The killer would have to discharge the innocent EpiPen at the locus

0:52:28 > 0:52:33so it looked like he'd done what he talked to the emergency services about.

0:52:33 > 0:52:37Then I imagine he'd have to chuck the poisoned EpiPen into the sharps disposal bags.

0:52:37 > 0:52:42But there's a chance it could be found before being incinerated if the police do a search.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44Ah! Very clever.

0:52:44 > 0:52:48Two - obtaining the pen in the first place.

0:52:48 > 0:52:52He'd have to know someone with a... with a prescription already.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Hm... Good point.

0:52:54 > 0:52:57Oh, and then there's number three...

0:52:57 > 0:52:59SHE SHUFFLES PAPERS

0:52:59 > 0:53:01"Patient suffered IgE phylum Mollusca allergy,

0:53:01 > 0:53:04"severe bronchospasm and anaphylaxis and..."

0:53:04 > 0:53:09under 'Additional Observations', hidden away in the footnotes,

0:53:09 > 0:53:13"..some local swelling at wound...

0:53:14 > 0:53:16"..and injection site".

0:53:17 > 0:53:21But, you know, they don't test for epinephrine after death,

0:53:21 > 0:53:25so there's no way of knowing if the EpiPen had been used or not,

0:53:25 > 0:53:28except for the puncture wound.

0:53:29 > 0:53:32So my number three is this -

0:53:32 > 0:53:36risk of a follow-up histology on local puncture site.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40You have a very creative mind.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43But would that person be able to sleep soundly,

0:53:43 > 0:53:47knowing that at any moment, there might be another post-mortem

0:53:47 > 0:53:49that identified allergen

0:53:49 > 0:53:51at the EpiPen site?

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Well, I guess that depends...

0:54:01 > 0:54:03On what?

0:54:04 > 0:54:09On whether the body's been cremated...
