0:03:14 > 0:03:16I was frightened.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22That night when he came home...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I was frightened.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I knew he had done something.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I knew he had done something.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I knew he had done something.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Fame. Notoriety. Revenge. We all know why she's doing this.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04I betrayed her.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's time to start fighting dirty.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Has she ever been a prostitute?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10What?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12No!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You don't have to say that she was.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24You just have to say that you can't be certain that she wasn't.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Think about it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30DOOR OPENS
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I'm not saying something like that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38It's not true.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We need to damage Romaine.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54If there's anything...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57..anything...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01..we can use against her...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05..you need to say it now.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11She was never even late with the rent.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I knew straightaway.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19He gets this look.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23This look he gets...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I felt sick, because I knew...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39..he had done something terrible.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49These marks - animal prints?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51That was, er, Mrs French's cat, your honour.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54The cat was in the room. It, well...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It walked through the blood.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Detective Breem, how did Mrs French meet her death?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05The victim received three blows, one to the side of the head.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07This would have stunned Mrs French.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11SHE GASPS IN PAIN
0:06:11 > 0:06:15The second blow was to the back of the neck.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Likely it was aimed at Mrs French's skull
0:06:18 > 0:06:20but the assailant missed his mark.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The third blow was to the back of the skull.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Death, if not instantaneous, would have arrived quickly.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Brain matter was visible.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33There was a lot of blood.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I want to be clear.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38This means that Mrs French's assailant was standing over her?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Yes.- So the assailant must have had blood on their person,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- on their clothes.- Yes, er...
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Particularly on the arm, the cuffs of a shirt or jacket.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53When you arrested Leonard Vole, you searched his home.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54What did you find?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57A shirt had been burned in the grate.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58MURMURING
0:07:00 > 0:07:02We know Mrs French was alive
0:07:02 > 0:07:06at approximately 9:20 on the night of her death, is that correct?
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Yes, she was seen drawing her curtains by a neighbour.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And ten minutes later, she was dead
0:07:14 > 0:07:18and Leonard Vole was seen leaving the house.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20MURMURING
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Clifford Starling.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27My firm have acted as legal counsel to the French family
0:07:27 > 0:07:28for three generations.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Mrs French came to see you on the 17th of October,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37a mere two weeks before her murder.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39What was the purpose of that meeting?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41She wanted to change her will.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46I want Leonard named my sole inheritor. Everything.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Including Janet's stipend.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Miss McIntyre?- She doesn't want me to be happy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57She wants me to be miserable and alone and untouched and unloved,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00just like her, that's what she wants.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02She was always capricious.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Everything left to Leonard Vole?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Was he aware of this meeting?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09He wasn't in the room
0:08:09 > 0:08:12but I looked out of the window as Mrs French was leaving
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and a man was waiting by her motor car.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Is that man in this room?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20He is.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25MURMURING
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It was your diligence in protecting your mistress
0:08:28 > 0:08:31that uncovered Mr Vole's deceits -
0:08:31 > 0:08:34that he was involved with another woman he called his wife
0:08:34 > 0:08:38but he was dallying with Mrs French's affections.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I should have stayed in. Then he'd be dealing with me.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45You came home from your meeting at half past nine.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48And you saw him.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58You know that man well.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I do. I'd recognise him anywhere.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05The prosecution calls Romaine Heilger.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Looking really sweaty, Mayhew. Wipe yourself down, chum.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Romaine, please...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- JUDGE:- The prisoner will remain silent.- Please...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Place your left hand on the Bible and speak the oath.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give
0:09:43 > 0:09:45shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47So help me God.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53You are Romaine Heilger, formally known as Romaine Vole?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Yes. I have decided to call myself by my father's name again.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59An Austrian national, from Vienna?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I was born there, but when I was quite small,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06my parents moved to Liege in Belgium.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10And you were there during the invasion of 1914?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes, your honour.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14There cannot be a man or woman in this court,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17or indeed in Britain and her dominions, who does not know of
0:10:17 > 0:10:21the slaughter and bloodshed suffered by Belgium during the invasion.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26What happened to your parents, Miss Heilger?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28They were murdered.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Along with many other friends, neighbours and people in my town.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- UNDER HIS BREATH:- Jesus Christ.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You were spared.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Well, a young girl who can sing the favourite songs
0:10:42 > 0:10:44of an invading army is a prize.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Yes, I was spared, although it didn't feel like it at the time.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54When did you meet Leonard Vole?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55In 1918.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Almost at the end of the war.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I fell in love with him
0:11:04 > 0:11:09and I followed him to England after the war, as Mrs Vole.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11But you were not married.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13No.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Can you tell the court
0:11:15 > 0:11:20exactly what happened on the evening of the 28th of October?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I was frightened.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I knew straightaway.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55He had this look.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59This look he gets.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03SHE GASPS
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I felt...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11..sick, because I knew he had done something.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16The defence case rests on two arguments.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20The first, that Leonard Vole left Mrs French alive before 9:00
0:12:20 > 0:12:22in order to be at home with you by 9.30.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26But he came home at 10:10, covered in blood.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Could you tell us what happened next, please, Miss Heilger?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42And then he smiled at me...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46..this strange smile...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54..and said...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00"..I don't need your sticky pennies any more.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05"I'm a rich man now."
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Not true!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09None of it is true! She's lying!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29to think about how much they believe her, and I have nothing on her.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32There is something, but Leonard won't say.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- and save everyone else the time and trouble.- Janet McIntyre...

0:14:50 > 0:14:53so Janet McIntyre had her mistress all to herself
0:14:53 > 0:14:57until Leonard came along. She was jealous.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59This is your contingency plan?
0:14:59 > 0:15:04To paint a recently murdered woman as a predatory nymphomaniac
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and her maid as a deranged lesbian?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Janet McIntyre had blood on her cuffs.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26You didn't go to theatrical digs that night, did you?
0:24:26 > 0:24:31You went to the Cross Keys hotel at Blackfriars to meet your lover.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32The night porter will go on oath
0:24:32 > 0:24:34that you arrived at one in the morning
0:24:34 > 0:24:39and went upstairs to a suite where, he was assured, you were expected.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Why would you want Leonard Vole dead?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Why would you want to send this young man to the gallows
0:24:46 > 0:24:48for a murder he did not commit?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Because Leonard Vole is the only person who knows
0:24:51 > 0:24:55that if you marry your lover, which you so clearly long to do,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57you will be a bigamist.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14That was a lie.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Heilger is the name of the husband you already have.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22That is why you and Leonard Vole never married.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And my client, through some...
0:25:25 > 0:25:30misguided but honourable chivalry,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34chose to keep your shame to himself.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40You have lied to the court. You have lied under oath.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42There is a penalty for that.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Expect to pay it.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Are you an expert in lip reading, Mr Starling?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- No.- So when you observed Leonard Vole and Mrs French
0:26:30 > 0:26:34through your office window, you can't tell what she said to him?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Whether she told him the purpose of your meeting or not?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Leonard Vole freely admitted he went to visit Mrs French
0:26:44 > 0:26:48to take her a present of a cat-shaped brush for her cat.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Did you find such an item in your search of the house?
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57So Leonard Vole, who is as innocent as a lamb,
0:26:57 > 0:26:58was telling the truth.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I saw him as bright as day. I saw him leave the house.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05But you can't have done, Miss McIntyre,

0:27:09 > 0:27:12at which point, Mrs French was still alive.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It was half past nine and it was him!
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Mr Vole was at home, Miss McIntyre.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Are you trying to say I'm mad?

0:27:31 > 0:27:37The murder of Mrs Emily French was a terrible, brutal crime
0:27:37 > 0:27:40but it wasn't committed by Leonard Vole.
0:27:40 > 0:27:47The evidence here is circumstantial, fuelled by speculation and jealousy.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50And the police should have seen through it straightaway.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Yet Leonard Vole has been imprisoned, he has been beaten,
