0:00:43 > 0:00:44John, can you hear me?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50John...
0:00:50 > 0:00:51John.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Mother.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54His legs, keep them still.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Keep them still.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Is he breathing?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Yes, I think so.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Let me see.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27He needs to be more comfortable.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Let's get him upstairs.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44What was he hit with?
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Did you see?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It was a gun. It was the butt of a gun.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50SHE SOBS
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Grace, Mary.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Warm water, please.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02What's the hot water for?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04To get the women downstairs.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09She's strong - my mother.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13I'll set him up with a drip.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19There are 100 reasons why he needs to be in a hospital.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20But?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22The journey would kill him.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Let's hope he'll still be with us tomorrow.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43JOHN FITS
0:02:43 > 0:02:45It's all right, John.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Sh, sh, sh.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50John. I'm here, it's all right.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I can't...can't remember.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Hmm?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I can't get it in my head what happened.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll help you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Lovely boy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm sorry.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Is Daddy going to die?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Don't worry, he's fighting. He's a fighter.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26You were there - the reporter on the scene.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I'm not a reporter, I'm a diarist.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- What's the name you write under? - Countryman.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35No, you're right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36What?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40The diarist with his love of Cabbage Whites and English hedgerow,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43suddenly in amongst a gang of professional agitators with
0:04:43 > 0:04:44violent intent.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48It's the newspaperman's job to tell both sides of the story.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh, yes. Journalistic objectivity.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Two men went to mow a meadow.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54When they came back, the first man told the journalist
0:04:54 > 0:04:57the meadow had been beautifully mown,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59but the second man said not a blade of grass had been cut.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02But the journalist reported both sides of the story.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I don't understand what that means, it's...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Go and look at the sodding meadow.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- I won't do this! - Won't do what?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I won't be pushed into doing what you want.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16This was found. By one of the gamekeepers.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17What is it?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24This wasn't a ramble, George. This wasn't about the right to picnic.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26These were men looking for a fight.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Why? Because they want to overturn everything we believe in.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Karl Marx had a donkey. Did you know?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37A man with a beard who rode his humble donkey
0:05:37 > 0:05:38all over Hampstead Heath.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Who did he think he was?!
0:05:41 > 0:05:42The next Messiah?!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47George has an article to write.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01If you swear like that once more in my presence I'll send you
0:06:01 > 0:06:04back to Bradford where you belong without so much as a...
0:06:04 > 0:06:05by your leave.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Bradford(!)
0:06:16 > 0:06:18We need a backup plan.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Hey!
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Were you in The Lamb the night before the trespass?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Um, yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Who with?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Gilbert. - Hankin?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Why are you asking me this? - And that teacher fella?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58What are you doing about the gamekeepers...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Was the teacher in The Lamb?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What's his name?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- You know his name. - I want it from you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15My father is upstairs with his head busted open
0:07:15 > 0:07:17from the gamekeepers at the Big House.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19What are you doing about that?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Let me show you something.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24His blood!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- His piss!- Steady.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Steady? Steady?!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32With your bloody language, son.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Get out.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37What did you say?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39You heard me.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Name?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46My name is Grace Middleton and you will leave my house now!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You want to wash this table, Mrs Middleton.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You did this.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00You and the bastards you look after at the Big House
0:08:00 > 0:08:01did this to my father.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04This isn't over.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41When I was a boy,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44our neighbour...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Jack Laidlaw, his name was,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48he went blind. And, er...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52..he gave me the only book that he had.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It was about Stanley, the explorer.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Doctor Livingstone, I presume?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I was so worried about you.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Hats off, hats off.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28What have I told you? Come on, seats, sit down.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Were you in The Lamb on the Friday before the trespass?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43We have people saying you were.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Who?- Bert Middleton.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49They didn't even ask me if I'd seen who did it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Well, did you? See it?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59He came in from the side.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03It was fast but... Father should have seen him coming.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06He didn't even...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08He was just staring.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12What were he staring at?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Margaret.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19My Henry's here.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20What, under your skirt?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24No, he's in the field with three of his pals, milking the cows.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26They'll keep doing it for as long as you need them to.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Margaret... - I'll show 'em job.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Straight upstairs? - Yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45He's still in The Lamb, you know? Bill Gibby.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49He's hasn't run off like most politicians would.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51And have the police been to see him?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I don't know. Why?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Oh, they'll have him marked out as the leader, won't they?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Him or you, Grace, from what I hear.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04John will set it all straight when he wakes up.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07We've just got to hope and pray his memory's still there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14THUMPING
0:11:16 > 0:11:18MOANING
0:11:29 > 0:11:31FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:11:33 > 0:11:35These fits are dangerous.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38He's having too many of them and we have to stop them.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54What if he dies without Bert and Mary being here to say goodbye?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57If we're going to do this, we're going to have to be quick about it.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I want you to hold his head...
0:12:06 > 0:12:07very, very still.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Will he feel anything? - We don't think so.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- But you don't know? - This has to happen, Grace.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Are you all right? - Hmm-mm.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Very still.- Hmm.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34SHE COUGHS
0:12:34 > 0:12:37SHE WINCES
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The pressure on the brain's making him have the fits.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42This will relieve the pressure.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47SHE RETCHES
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Very still, Grace.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Can you hear me?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07John...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11John, can you hear me?
0:13:28 > 0:13:33It was... an almost impossible journey.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Tsetse fly,
0:13:35 > 0:13:41malaria, cholera, the heat, the water.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I have marked on the map the route that he took.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Bagamoyo, Kingaru,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Kikoka,
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Kisemo...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59..er, Mahata...
0:13:59 > 0:14:00HE COUGHS
0:14:00 > 0:14:02..Usagaro, Ugogoya.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'd go anywhere and do anything to be with you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I'm going to talk to George.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Martha... - This will be hard - very, very hard.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33But...
0:14:35 > 0:14:39..when it's over, we can begin a straightforward life.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I've tried to be good when I should have been honest.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54I'll be here.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Be gentle.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09What does he say?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12He says he'll be a witness if the police prosecute Bert.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15So he saw, then?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16That's good, Grace.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Is that all, in the letter?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24What's that?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Oh, a letter, from Bill Gibby, pledging his support.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32He'll be hoping Father dies.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Then he'll have a martyr to make history out of.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41John Middleton and the Allingham Trespass,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Gibby, the champion of the martyred poor...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45He's not like that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48How do you know?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01What is he like?
0:16:08 > 0:16:09He's passionate.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14And he's happiest when he's communicating that passion.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And I've had the benefit of that...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21..and I'll always be grateful to him for...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23for lifting my gaze, Margaret.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26"Take a look at the world," he said.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29"You don't have to look downwards just because you're poor
0:16:29 > 0:16:30"or because you're a woman."
0:16:38 > 0:16:40We should change his dressing.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10"Communists and firebrands bussed in from Sheffield
0:17:10 > 0:17:13"and Manchester to lead a violent and unlawful..."
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'm doing what the family requires of me.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26HE EXHALES
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Mary.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I know how to make yourself feel better.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- I used to do it a lot. - How?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55SHE SCREAMS
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Your turn.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08SHE SCREAMS
0:18:09 > 0:18:12One more - together. Ready?
0:18:13 > 0:18:18THEY SCREAM
0:18:21 > 0:18:24FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:18:30 > 0:18:31The man with the map!
0:18:33 > 0:18:40I taught his son. We've become friends, actually.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Bert is...
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Were you in The Lamb the Friday before the trespass?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Um... Yes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Have you been up to the farm?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52How is he?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Have you got a map of Allingham land?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57No.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00What's this?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11This one of yours, map man?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Did you mark these public footpaths?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Yes.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Not many, are there?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23No.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Can I be honest with you?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28It's a scandal.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Makes your blood boil.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40"It's a scandal, to be, honest, that there
0:19:40 > 0:19:44"are so few paths for public use on Allingham land.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47"It makes my blood boil."
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Your mother died, didn't she?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Yes, she did, when I was your age.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Is my father going to die?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Probably.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13He might survive, because he's strong and cussed.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16But... it's more likely that he'll die.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Is it always better to tell the truth?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It can be painful, but, yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I saw Mr Eyre and Mrs Allingham.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Mary?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I didn't like it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Wh... What were they doing?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39It was like they were kissing without actually kissing.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40What shall I do?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Give it to me to worry about.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I'll have it. You've enough on your plate.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55SHE KISSES HER
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Back to your witness statement.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02The Lamb, the Friday before the trespass?
0:21:03 > 0:21:10"Three men spoke to the minister with the map.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14"I know the three men to be..."
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Bert Middleton, Gerard Eyre, Gilbert Hankin.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34What did the map show?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Allingham land.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39So I'd be wrong to think that that's what they were talking about?
0:21:41 > 0:21:47"They were talking about Allingham land
0:21:47 > 0:21:53"whilst looking at the map."
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I want to try and tell you about what I saw.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And I mean the fighting. Our gamekeepers...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04My job has always been very clear to me - get the truth.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09That's it. Which is why I want the best evidence.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You're a bloody hero! And you've suffered for it!
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You witnessed four years of horror and you witnessed yesterday
0:22:16 > 0:22:18when those people fought your gamekeepers.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21You were there in the woods, but your mind - in no man's land.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You'd lost control. Am I right?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26You can't help me with the truth about who fought who.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30The truth is too precious to risk obscuring with doubtful evidence.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I won't have it. But in The Lamb?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36You with a drink, hearing what those other men were saying?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39That's solid ground. That's proper truth.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Sign here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56No.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You take your time. I'll leave it with you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07HE WHIMPERS
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Go on, Mary.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You were on your way to Liverpool.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Were you running towards something or away from something?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Would you have stopped in Liverpool?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33America?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38So, running away, then.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41From what, Bert?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46How were you going to afford it?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51He... He gave me money.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52He's like a brother to me.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Mr Eyre.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You can be happy here, Bert.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07This farm can be everything you're after.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24SHE SCREAMS
0:24:26 > 0:24:28SHE SOBS
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You've spoken to all the individuals involved?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37We're not in a position to look at specific violence.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- We'll come down hard elsewhere. - Elsewhere?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Thought.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43I beg your pardon?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Three or more people with a common purpose or an intent to help
0:24:46 > 0:24:47one another by force
0:24:47 > 0:24:51if necessary against any person who may oppose them.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52And what's that?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55It's what these thugs thought. Also known as a riot.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01What about John Middleton?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Drunk, wife beater, embittered, defeated...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08All your gamekeepers are saying that he looked like a man possessed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11There's a history of moral hysteria in his family.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- God knows what he would have done... - Thank you, Sergeant.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21You two know each other?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's been a few years, but, yes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You know this could define my political life?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29What are you frightened of?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The left love a victim, and when they get one
0:25:32 > 0:25:34they make one hell of a story out of it.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Which is why I've taken control of the story.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Ours will be out first, the first story usually wins.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- And Hankin? - Oh, he'll be fine.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Look, this goes to the Assizes, we'll get a jury.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46You can't influence a jury.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50But a magistrate, there's room for manoeuvre.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52And what will they get?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53They'll go to prison.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56How was George?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59He didn't sign his witness statement. But he will.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Where have you been?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10The village.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14George is a man of real integrity - he takes the world
0:26:14 > 0:26:16and his place in it very seriously.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20And now he's being tested. One would have thought that the
0:26:20 > 0:26:26one person to see that and to be alongside him would be his wife.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42How's your dad?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54The police have been asking me questions.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55What, you too?
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Beer?
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Beer.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Margaret, your Henry can't be here forever.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- And you've got...- Sh, you'd do the same for me, wouldn't you?
0:27:25 > 0:27:26There you are, then.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29What did Bill Gibby say?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33I haven't spoken to him.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Well, why not? He can help.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38He offered, didn't he?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Mary, you come home with us, love.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Phoebe, you sit with John so that Grace can go and see our Gibby.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, come on, then, what you waiting for?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02I looked into it. Rout and Riot.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07That's what it'll be if we're put on trial.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11And?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Prison, if we're found guilty.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20What's it like? Prison?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29It'd be the end of the farm.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Agnes and Sophie, I don't know what they'd do.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Your whole class would get a long holiday.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Or months and months of Martha Allingham.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47DOOR OPENS
0:29:09 > 0:29:11You're still here.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Yes.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Why?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- I wanted to see you. - Why?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I feel responsible for what happened.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29So do I.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41How is he?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Is he speaking?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Will he speak?
0:29:50 > 0:29:51We don't know.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- So when there's a trial... - They've spun it around.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59They're now calling it a riot and saying that my son's a rioter.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02But there'll be no trial for the gamekeeper who tried to
0:30:02 > 0:30:04murder my husband.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Did John...? - Yes. He saw.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14He looked at me...
0:30:14 > 0:30:17and he looked at you...
0:30:17 > 0:30:18and he knew.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I don't want you hurt.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Whatever happens, I can't have that.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33You mean it'd be bad for your political career.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'm in love with you.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46I won't let anyone hurt you.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51You?
0:30:54 > 0:30:59- I just want... - Grace. You've come to see me.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02You've come this far.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Answer my question.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13I came for your help. I need your help.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15You don't love me?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Don't make me say it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30HEAVY BREATHING
0:31:46 > 0:31:49SHE WINCES
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Margaret!
0:31:51 > 0:31:53It's John, he's got worse, where's Grace?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55In The Lamb!
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Got to go.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15How can I help you?
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I would like a packet of crisps
0:32:20 > 0:32:23and a word with our distinguished Magistrate.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Oh, let me help you, Mr Bairstow.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32We're hoping the trespass case will go to trial.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38I can't preside over any hearing if my son is in the dock.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Obviously.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Obviously.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I'm meeting Sergeant Westlake this afternoon.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48He's making his mind up who to arrest, who to charge.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I'll let him know your position.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Now, what are we to make of that?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I know exactly what to make of that!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46What do we do? Phoebe?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48FRANTIC FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:33:48 > 0:33:50SHE PANTS
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Paul told me when he was home on leave that last time that...
0:33:56 > 0:34:00when they bought the wounded in that had been out in no man's land
0:34:00 > 0:34:04for a time... it was always the ones that had
0:34:04 > 0:34:08maggots in their wounds that survived.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I'm so sorry, George.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Martha?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56I'm so sorry.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50It will not happen.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52SHE PANTS
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I've just married one son off.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I'm not having the other one un-marry!
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Divorce is...
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Don't say it, Edmund. Do not say that word.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Leaving my son for the village teacher!
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Where is she?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Perhaps it's best if Harry spoke to Martha.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15She's good on bad behaviour.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Let me make one thing very clear.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22George will not agree to this. She will not have what she wants.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Mother.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26We're finding out we're made of, Edmund.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Mother says that the world will end if you don't save us.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Divorce!
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Eyre will be tried, he'll be convicted
0:36:51 > 0:36:54and he'll be in Strangeways Prison before he can say "right to roam".
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Martha will have a good long stretch to get over him
0:36:57 > 0:36:59and return to the fold.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Hold our collective nerve?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02And all will be well.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04DOOR OPENS
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Oh, here he is.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Hello, darling.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10The key to it all -
0:37:10 > 0:37:13a prosecution witness who just so happens to be a war hero
0:37:13 > 0:37:15and a gentleman.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21You left it in the desk drawer.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Sorry?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Your witness statement - for signing.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Mother?
0:37:32 > 0:37:37I think that we should thank Mr Bairstow for everything
0:37:37 > 0:37:38he's doing for our family.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53And...
0:37:53 > 0:37:56there were women.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Mary Heys, trampled to death by cavalry,
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Sarah Jones, of repeated truncheon blows to the head
0:38:04 > 0:38:06by Special Constables.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Will you excuse me, children? I have to go now.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25I am going to leave you in very good hands.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30All lessons will continue as usual.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34You have...nothing to worry about.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04The fourth victim, Margaret Downes,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06died from a stab wound to the chest.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Sir.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Madam.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I've come to inform you that you're no longer
0:39:18 > 0:39:20a suspect in our enquiries,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22so please, feel free to carry on as normal.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33The question I ask myself is, what's wrong wi' me?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Spit it out.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39That's what your mother were doing, last time I saw her in The Lamb.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42We all know what a useless man your father is.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47That's why I offered her a piece of my pie.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02What are you doing?!
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Stop it now! Stop it now! Get off!
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Both of you, stop! Stop!
0:40:13 > 0:40:15What are you doing?!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17What were you doing, more like?
0:40:17 > 0:40:18No!
0:40:20 > 0:40:21GIRL SCREAMS
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Oh, no.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30No...
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I'm glad it's you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46If it had to be someone in here with me, I'm ...
0:40:47 > 0:40:48..I'm glad it's you.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56You knew Bert was going to Liverpool
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and you didn't try to stop him from leaving?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01No.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04You?
0:41:04 > 0:41:05No.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09I love him.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11And you'd let him go?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Yes.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16For love?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27When John and I were first married,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30he wanted everything to be right for me.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36There was a gate that used to swing shut on you and it hit me
0:41:36 > 0:41:39once and I had a bruise for a day or two.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42John found a round stone and he...
0:41:42 > 0:41:46he worked it with another stone like a pestle and mortar so the first
0:41:46 > 0:41:50stone had a hole in it. It was to stand the gate in when he opened it.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56He made me come and look at it when it he'd finished.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59He wanted me to try the gate in the hole that he'd made.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06It was his way of telling me that he loved me.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10But it was cold and it was raining, so I went inside.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15I should have listened better.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19I should have had the patience to hear what he was saying.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21You still can.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28You've an old head on young shoulders, Phoebe Rundle.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Is there nothing goes by you?
0:42:30 > 0:42:34How do maggots help an infected wound get better?
0:42:36 > 0:42:40They eat dead tissue, and the wound, we hope...
0:42:41 > 0:42:43..heals.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49The innocent party
0:42:49 > 0:42:53has to want the divorce. And I'm not sure he does.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58And then there's evidence of adultery. That's the only grounds.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Isn't it enough that...
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Sex is the only thing the divorce courts are interested in.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Even if George was in favour, there has to be actual evidence.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10So the question is -
0:43:10 > 0:43:12are you prepared to be caught at it,
0:43:12 > 0:43:16in a desperate hotel room by a desperate detective?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Is that a price worth paying?
0:43:57 > 0:43:59This was a riot.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04These men were intent on manufacturing public disorder
0:44:04 > 0:44:08of the most terrifying and violent character.
0:44:08 > 0:44:13With subtle malice, they conspired to enter your minds that day,
0:44:13 > 0:44:16they sought to undermine your decency
0:44:16 > 0:44:20and they visited the hysteria of discord upon this village.
0:44:20 > 0:44:25Now, this trial is not about who got injured,
0:44:25 > 0:44:28who struck which blow when and why.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32It is about bad men with evil intentions.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36What is riot?
0:44:36 > 0:44:40It requires three or more men - there were dozens that day.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45A common purpose - the trespass on Allingham land.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49Intent to help one another by force against any person
0:44:49 > 0:44:52who may oppose them in pursuit of the common purpose.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54And there's the key.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58Did Bert Middleton and Gerard Eyre plan to use force
0:44:58 > 0:45:02when gamekeepers employed by the Allingham estate did their duty
0:45:02 > 0:45:04and stood in the way of an unlawful trespass?
0:45:04 > 0:45:08We will rely on the evidence of a decorated war hero
0:45:08 > 0:45:11and a gentleman of the highest order
0:45:11 > 0:45:14to establish that the answer to that question...
0:45:15 > 0:45:17..has to be "yes".
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Were you in The Lamb the Friday before the trespass?
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Yes, I was.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26There are those who'd be surprised to hear that a man of your status
0:45:26 > 0:45:29frequented such an establishment.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31I spent three years in the trenches.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33And The Lamb serves good beer.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35MUTED LAUGHTER
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Who did you see in The Lamb that night?
0:45:38 > 0:45:39Robin Lane.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41The minister...
0:45:42 > 0:45:44..my father-in-law.
0:45:52 > 0:45:53And, er, the defendants.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56They were looking at a map of Allingham land.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58Did you hear what they said?
0:45:59 > 0:46:02My father-in-law wanted to talk about how best
0:46:02 > 0:46:05to get onto Allingham land without being seen doing it.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09The defendants, they were arguing for a more direct approach.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12They wanted a confrontation, you see.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Thank you so much.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18Mr Eyre?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33You're a "war hero".
0:46:34 > 0:46:35I fought.
0:46:36 > 0:46:37I was there.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39And you suffered for it.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42I have bad dreams, yes.
0:46:44 > 0:46:45It's, er...
0:46:45 > 0:46:48it has an effect on your life.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51On the way that you see things,
0:46:51 > 0:46:53on the way that you judge what you see...
0:46:53 > 0:46:54Get to the point, Mr Eyre.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00There were shots fired, weren't there?
0:47:00 > 0:47:01On the day.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03How did that make you feel?
0:47:06 > 0:47:08I-I can't...
0:47:10 > 0:47:12..loud noises make me...
0:47:12 > 0:47:17You can't be relied on to give an accurate account
0:47:17 > 0:47:19of who was doing what, because you were terrified.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Completely irrelevant.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23The defendant hasn't listened.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Mr Rose?
0:47:25 > 0:47:27This court doesn't have to decide
0:47:27 > 0:47:29who was the aggressor and who wasn't.
0:47:29 > 0:47:34The law says you are guilty of riot if you intend to use force.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39The witness has told us about the defendants' intentions.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40That is the end of it.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- That isn't fair. - It's the law.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48Any other questions, either of you?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Thank you, Mr Allingham. You may go.
0:47:58 > 0:47:59Yes.
0:48:38 > 0:48:39A coward.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43A conchy.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Are you asking me a question?
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Because I don't recognise either of those terms.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57You're a man of principle, Mr Eyre? Is that better?
0:48:57 > 0:49:01- Yes.- Someone who puts the wellbeing of others before himself?
0:49:03 > 0:49:05I try to, yes.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07But you're also a liar.
0:49:09 > 0:49:10The map, Mr Eyre.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12You lied about it to Sergeant Westlake.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Yes...
0:49:15 > 0:49:16Twice.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19You said there was no map - first lie.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Then when the constable found it in your classroom,
0:49:21 > 0:49:24you said it was yours.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25It wasn't, was it?
0:49:28 > 0:49:31No. The map belonged to the minister.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33Do you lie to the children you teach?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36- No.- So...
0:49:37 > 0:49:41..why does a man of principle suddenly tell so many lies
0:49:41 > 0:49:45in such a short space of time to the policemen?
0:49:48 > 0:49:49No?
0:49:52 > 0:49:53I think I know.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58Because the map is evidence of criminal intent,
0:49:58 > 0:50:00because it shows planning and forethought,
0:50:00 > 0:50:02because it establishes common purpose
0:50:02 > 0:50:04and because it makes you guilty of riot.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Then why would I want to claim it as my own?
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Because your first instinct is to protect others.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13You knew it would incriminate Robin Lane.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Now, if the map were not something to hide,
0:50:15 > 0:50:17you'd have told the constable whose it was,
0:50:17 > 0:50:19who made the markings on it.
0:50:20 > 0:50:21Martha?
0:50:33 > 0:50:34DOOR SLAMS
0:50:41 > 0:50:44You're a man of violence.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45No.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Do you want to think about that answer?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Only when there's good reason.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54What was the reason for fighting Alf Rutter?
0:50:58 > 0:51:00Who threw the first punch?
0:51:01 > 0:51:03- I did.- Why?
0:51:05 > 0:51:07In the absence of an explanation,
0:51:07 > 0:51:11we'll have to see it as unprovoked violence.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13And the attack on Sergeant Westlake?
0:51:13 > 0:51:15- That was provoked. - By?- Him!
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Bastard just wanted to see everything his way,
0:51:18 > 0:51:20which is the same as theirs.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22- Er, whose way? - The Big House.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25They're all in it together.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28Allinghams, gamekeepers, police, you.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31I'm sorry, is this what one might call a rant?
0:51:34 > 0:51:36I just see things as I see them.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39The uncomplicated farm boy.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42- Did you meet any political activists before the trespass?- No.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Did anyone in your family
0:51:44 > 0:51:46meet with political activists before the trespass?
0:51:49 > 0:51:51- Yes.- Who?- My mother.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53- Who did she meet? - Bill Gibby.- How often?
0:51:56 > 0:51:58I don't know what you're trying to say.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01Nor do I.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Now you, you tell me what you think I'm "trying to say".
0:52:07 > 0:52:08Did they meet more than once?
0:52:08 > 0:52:10- Yes.- Where?- I don't know.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Why not? Were they secret meetings?
0:52:14 > 0:52:16What about the last time they met?
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Let's, let's just concentrate on that.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Might be worth remembering you're on oath.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Upstairs at The Lamb.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Just the two of them?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43- Did you talk to her about it?- No.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Let me ask you again.
0:52:45 > 0:52:49- Why were you fighting Alf Rutter? - I don't know!
0:52:51 > 0:52:52As I was saying...
0:52:53 > 0:52:55..you're a man of violence, Bert Middleton.

0:53:35 > 0:53:36I don't understand.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40In exchange, I need you to do something for me.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44Thank you, darling. I'm proud of you.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47The whole family is very proud of you.
0:53:47 > 0:53:48Hear, hear.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53An exemplary performance. Hand tremors particularly moving.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Just Bill Gibby to deal with next, and then we're home and dry.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58Mm, but he is very impressive.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Yes, but very cross-examinable.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03What Norma Hankin gossips about won't stand up in court.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04It's not gossip.
0:54:05 > 0:54:06What?
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Gibby stays upstairs in The Lamb when he's in the village
0:54:09 > 0:54:11and Grace Middleton goes to visit him.
0:54:11 > 0:54:12Alone, at night.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15How do you know?
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Alf Rutter, Peter the landlord.
0:54:20 > 0:54:21Me.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23He's arriving this evening.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Ready for his big moment in court tomorrow,
0:54:25 > 0:54:28he'll be having a big moment with the defendant's mother first.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30- Tonight?- Mmm.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43An adulterer, Mr Hankin.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Can I confirm with you
0:54:45 > 0:54:47your magistrate's understanding of such a man?
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Dishonest, depraved, and, of course,
0:54:50 > 0:54:54completely unreliable as a witness in a court of law.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04LAUGHTER FROM WITHIN
0:55:19 > 0:55:22Good evening, Mr Gibby.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36The "gentleman of the highest order"
0:55:36 > 0:55:39upon whom the prosecution rely
0:55:39 > 0:55:42for all the evidence they bring in this case...
0:55:43 > 0:55:46..is not a gentleman and cannot be relied on.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50I know this to be true.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52I've seen it for myself.
0:55:53 > 0:55:57His evidence therefore cannot be taken as credible.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59It is my duty, therefore,
0:55:59 > 0:56:01to tell you both
0:56:01 > 0:56:03that you are innocent.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34You're free.
0:56:34 > 0:56:35I'm the guilty party.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37You can divorce me.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39And Mr Eyre, he's free too.
