0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some violent scenes, very strong language
0:00:05 > 0:00:08and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'The official residence of the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Number 10 Downing Street.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'The glittering prize for the leaders of the country's political parties
0:00:15 > 0:00:17'as Britain turns to the hustings.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19'When the big day comes and Britons flock to the polls,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21'nobody really knows which government will emerge.'
0:00:21 > 0:00:24'It's the evening of the election
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- 'and it's up to you.' - I just don't want to be British.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Go back to your own country!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35One of the policemen turned around and punched me in the face.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Is society really saying
0:00:44 > 0:00:46that if we know that there is a man in that corner
0:00:46 > 0:00:49who has a murderous weapon in his pocket
0:00:49 > 0:00:52that we shouldn't have the right to search him
0:00:52 > 0:00:56before he probably commits a murder?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39When you have police come about like in this situation, tense,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41anything could happen.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44This is not the first and this will not be the last.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, it looks like being one of the most exciting election nights ever,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50with the possibility of a very close result and the prospect
0:01:50 > 0:01:53of Britain having its first woman Prime Minister
0:01:53 > 0:01:54at the end of the night.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Behind the cold computer, a flow of figures behind the professor's
0:01:58 > 0:02:02percentages and swings is the fate of individuals who have
0:02:02 > 0:02:05fought the good fight as they see it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10It's not a horse race, it's a human drama and a night of history.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- He's here. - Any results in yet?- I haven't heard.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Glasgow's first, isn't it? - I believe.- We could do with a portable telly.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- There's one downstairs.- In here! - We shouldn't be too long, should we? - You've seen him!
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Election night.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10A new dawn.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I don't want to see that in on the job.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- What's he like?- Bit tatty.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Talks English? - I can understand him.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Anything on him?- No form at all. - Maybe I should take a look.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- He's in the... - What time is the Thorpe result?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Pardon? - That's the one that intrigues me.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Not till about four or five. If there's a recount.- A what? - A recount.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42This must be the only country in the world where a bloke
0:03:42 > 0:03:45on a murder charge can stand for Parliament!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48If he's sent down, they'll bung him in the cabinet.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Fucking liberals. - His name's Delroy. Leon.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- And you picked him up? - Boozer at the bottom of his road.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59The hospital casualty doctor called the nick at 8.30 -
0:03:59 > 0:04:03no sign of Delroy at his flat, a neighbour said the boozer
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- and we picked him up there.- Fuss?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06He just laughed.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- He what?- He laughed.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Bit fucking naff. Wife dying in a pool of blood...
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- He ain't mentioned her.- Not a word? - He ain't denying nothing neither.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16There's grief.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So what's he think we've picked him up for, then?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Sus.- Sus? - I reckon he think's it's sus.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- And he didn't make no racket, no screaming his rights or...?- No.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28He must have been picked up on sus a few times.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31He looks like the sort of bloke you would.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- I don't like the look of his beard. - Any form?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36No convictions. He's had his dabs taken a few times.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- It's coming to something.- Eh? - Pick a bloke up so often on sus he don't even notice it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Ought to fit him up now and again, to relieve the fucking monotony for him.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- I'll check again.- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Aliases?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Who's round his drum?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Charlie and Harry are rolling it now. Susie went an' all.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Three youngsters. Waiting social services. Put them in care till it's sorted out.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Good.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Want a bet on the result? - The doctors said...- The election?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Oh.- Majority of how many?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- 25?- You're on.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10You reckon it's more?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Tory landslide.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- All right, pony, then. - HE LAUGHS
0:05:33 > 0:05:36A woman bleeds to death in her own flat
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and her old man's down the pub enjoying himself.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45What time are they doing the postmortem?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Doctors are finished for the night now till nine in the morning.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Can we charge him till then?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The doctors are positive. It's a massive haemorrhage.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Harry's throwing up over the bed sheets, the nightdress is smothered.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Cunt.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I'll have the nightie.- The nightie?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Might break him down if he's feigning. Know what I mean?- Right.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Wheel him in, then.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I didn't get to be in the position I'm in today by wasting time.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14And I want to be home in time to toast the new dawn.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Book him first. - I'll wheel him in, then.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30'Scenes of tremendous activity. Fingers flying
0:06:30 > 0:06:32'all over the place as the count is made.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34'As you can see, she needs a 4% swing,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38'at least to get a very small five-seat overall majority.'
0:06:38 > 0:06:42'In about two hours or so, Mr Jeremy Thorpe will know his political fate.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44'It's a very difficult time.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47'He has to face charges on other matters at the Old Bailey
0:06:47 > 0:06:49'in five days.'
0:07:17 > 0:07:19We ain't been introduced.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21My name's Leon Delroy.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23How very civilised, Mr Delroy.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26How very nice to make your acquaintance.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- DC Wilby and me, DS Karn. - This is nice, innit?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I ain't been in this room before.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Decor's quite simple. Let me show you around.- Oh.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- We've gone for the hard-wearing but easy to clean. - Get a lot of mess in here?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You never can tell.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Very nice. Very, um, simple.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Same with the furniture.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- I trust you approve?- Well...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- What did you say your name was? - Karn.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57K-A-R-N.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Is that German or something?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02My father gave it to me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05His father gave it to him. Sort of a family heirloom.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Nice.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Handed down from generation to generation.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12All English. Pure stock.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Well, this looks the most comfortable chair.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, then, do sit down, Mr Delroy. Take the weight off your feet.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- How long did you say you were in the boozer?- From about seven-ish.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34More than three hours' solid boozing!
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Then my gawdfathers, you must be fucking worn out, Mr Delroy!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I do apologise.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Perhaps, Wilby could get a chaise longue to make
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Mr Delroy a touch more comfortable? - You're too kind, Mr Karn,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48but this will do.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51As it happens, I ain't got too much time to spare tonight.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I'm in a bit of an hurry. We're going down to the club to watch the election results.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57The club, eh?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Which one's that, then?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Beefsteak? Brooks?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03White's, or the MCC?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I ain't fussy.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- That's nice to know. - As it happens, working man's club.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- But if you're thinking of inviting me to one of them...- Actually...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I wasn't.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18working man's club, you say.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23If you don't mind me asking, Mr Delroy...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27..what exactly do you do for work?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32A profession?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well, to tell the truth...
0:09:35 > 0:09:39it's a period of readjustment I'm into right now.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, yeah?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46How do you mean, exactly?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Well, I'm sort of reassessing the situation.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53I'm thinking maybe I won't concentrate on being a CLO after all.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Oh! Well, it sounds like a most fascinating field of work.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- To tell you the truth, although it sounds glamorous... - Glamorous, yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- ..it ain't. - HE CHUCKLES
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- In fact, being a... - Capstan lathe operator.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Ooh!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17To tell the truth, it's a bit fucking boring.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- So for the last 18 months... - You gave the job up?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24More, it gave ME up. So me and the JobCentre, like,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28we've been concentrating on not doing nothing.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32It's a pretty fucking democratic arrangement -
0:10:32 > 0:10:37they do fuck all for me and I do fuck all for them.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Could I trouble you for a light?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44You're not seriously proposing to smoke that cigarette
0:10:44 > 0:10:46without offering one to me and DC Wilby, are you?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Here's the baccy, here's the skins.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53After all the hospitality we've shown you -
0:10:53 > 0:10:55chair, feet up,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59tinkle of tea cups - you might at least roll us one apiece.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04To tell the truth, I had a bit of a dose a while back.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- From a lavatory seat? - I reckon another geezer's spittle.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12No wonder they prohibit gobbing on lav seats.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yeah, a dose, see.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17A dose? You think that's funny?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I thought it was all right to mention it in here...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23in confidence, like.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27There's no ladies present... are there?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You know...
0:11:34 > 0:11:38..I think I'm gonna like you, Mr Delroy.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Let's have a cup of coffee.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Cup of coffee?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43All right.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Three coffees, Wilby.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Sorry about that, Mr Delroy.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Mr Wilby, he's, er...
0:12:01 > 0:12:02..very moral.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You're a popular man.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I can see that you're a popular man.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The kind of man whose company is desired.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Yeah - cops desire it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Really?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yeah, I seem to have something, you know,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22like a chemical aroma.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26It attracts cops to me. They cluster around me.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30They like to pass their time chatting me up. It's crazy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- You're too sociable, perhaps. - Ah, no, I don't ask them.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36In fact, I've been known to try and keep out of their way,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39but it seems like right now,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I can't walk down the road, wait at a bus stop or go for a drink
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- without getting picked up by cops. - Maybe it's your personality.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51If you don't mind me saying...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- What's that? - ..confidentially, like.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Your secrets are safe with me.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I mean, I wouldn't want you to think I was complaining.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I can see you're not that sort of man.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10They like to talk to me more than I like to talk to them.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14They even make up little lies to get my attention.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Yes?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Sus.- Oh!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Suspicion of this, suspicion of that.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I've heard of it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Last month - well...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28at the bus stop, they said I was loitering to dip an old lady's handbag.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Got chucked out of court, the magistrate chucked it out.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34No witnesses. The very next day in the park,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37they want ME for possession of drugs.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Then they find I ain't got none so they say I'm a pusher
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and I've flogged them.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I was in here for hours.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47My old lady was worried out of her head.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Fat copper...
0:13:50 > 0:13:51got my pants off,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53sticking his boot up me arse,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56said just in case I'd hid them there.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Then they just let me go.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Very time-consuming.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I got a lot of spare time,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10but this is fucking ridiculous.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Look on the bright side - at least you haven't been convicted yet.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Never been no fucking crime to convict me for.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Never no witnesses, never no evidence, never no fucking crime!
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Temper, temper.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I never lose my temper.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Very wise.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- With policemen.- Lose your temper with a cop, that's assault.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37They lose their temper with you,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- that's resisting arrest. - Just a game of semantics.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- I got witnesses.- Witnesses?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- That I ain't done nothing. - How's that, then?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49How does anyone witness nothing?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Listen, I got references.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Tell them to go and see my last boss.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Reason he got the sack for me was, he said,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58"Delroy, you lazy fucking nigger,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01"you never do...nothing."
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I should've got him to write that down.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I should've got it in writing, to show people,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- show cops like you. - DOOR OPENS
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Labour's lost three seats.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Double milk in the coffees? - Anna Ford...- Watch it!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27She had a little diagram. Said it could mean a Tory landslide.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29What did I tell ya?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30What did I tell you?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Sugar, Mr Delroy?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Matter of fact, if you've finished,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- I wouldn't mind going.- Going?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42A responsible man like you going? We're about to celebrate...
0:15:42 > 0:15:44the beloved Thatch.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I mean, you don't want to go, do you?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I've got a confession to make.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I'm not Tory.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- You what?- I ain't Tory.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Has the issue of law and order not engaged you, Mr Delroy?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Well, in my personal experiences, like I was explaining, Mr Karn,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13there ain't much order to law. Do you know what I mean?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- What do you make of that, Mr Wilby? - That?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- What he said.- It sounded a bit... - A bit?- Definitely out of order.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I'm sure he didn't intend it to sound that way, did you, Mr Delroy?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Didn't intend to besmirch the men in blue?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32No-one seems to realise, except for the Thatch...
0:16:32 > 0:16:35how under-strength we are, you know...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39..fewer cops, rising crime, underpaid.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- I should be on sick leave. - I worked it out.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- What did he say? - I think he said...- What?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I think he said he's worked it out.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53What have you worked out, Mr Delroy?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Well, I think you've got a problem. And I've seen it...
0:16:57 > 0:16:58..with my own eyes.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Having given it some consideration, I reckon...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Tell me.- ..if you spent less time harassing people who ain't done nothing,
0:17:05 > 0:17:10you'd have a lot more spare fucking time to spend chasing bastards who do do crimes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14That's what I think.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Must keep the streets safe for decent people.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19That's kids.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'm a married man,
0:17:22 > 0:17:23a family man.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27So, if you don't mind, I'm going now. It's just sus, right?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Pick up some other fucking nigger.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Fun over. I'm going. There's no crime, so...
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Actually, Mr Delroy, there has been a crime tonight.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- You must come across a lot of those in your job.- We do.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Oh, we do.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47So if you'll excuse me, I'm going.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49You can't go.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Why should I stay?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I've got rights.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- After all, you're involved. - I'm what?!
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Tell him.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You're involved.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06How's that? Mmm?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Listen, I was in the pub from just after seven.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I've got witnesses. Before that I was at home.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15We got this problem with the gas fire and my old lady,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18cos she's not too well, she's cold all the time,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20so I was fixing the gas fire in the bedroom.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Are you qualified for such technical work? Gas is specialised.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29It weren't working, and the gas board wouldn't come.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Wouldn't come?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34When I phoned, they said you had to book up if it ain't an emergency.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37They said they couldn't come, and I said my wife was ill
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- and they said maybe if one of the blokes...- Wife not well, you say?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Ill?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Not too well. A few upsets. The pregnancy. You know?
0:18:51 > 0:18:55She had it before. She stays in bed a lot.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57And you went out, leaving her ill in bed?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Well, I mean to say, that was a bit callous, wasn't it?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05The boys, the election.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09It's OK, I put the kids to bed before I come out
0:19:09 > 0:19:13and I'll check she's OK before I go to the club. Any problems,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16she bangs on the floor and the kid downstairs, he runs
0:19:16 > 0:19:20to the boozer and tells me - two minutes later I'm back there, OK?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21So you last saw her...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26When did you last see her?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31When I went to the pub. I mean, before that. Sevenish.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33What was she wearing?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Eh?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38What was your wife wearing when you left her five hours ago?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42She was in bed.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Wearing?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45What do you mean, wearing?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Describe what she was wearing.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, she was wearing a nightie thing, like.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Like what?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Like, down here, long.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Kinda made her feel nice, cos she weren't feeling too great,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01cold all the time, like she was.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Colour?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Colour? What do you mean, colour?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Colour of the nightdress!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09It was pink, wasn't it?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Pinkish.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17With white lacy bits around here and here.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Made her feel nice. Cheer herself up.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23She looked real good in it, you know?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27She looked really pretty, you know?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32Wilby, would you get the...?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Of course.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'll be off now and all.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43I'm afraid not, Mr Delroy. There has been a crime tonight. This ain't sus.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Yeah, well, it's nothing to do with me, cos I got witnesses that...
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Sit down, Mr Delroy!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- You've got nothing on me. - Sit down, Mr Delroy!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Go fuck yourself. I'm going home!
0:21:08 > 0:21:09She died tonight.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16At 8:15, your wife died.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18There was a great loss of blood.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21In fact, when we get the postmortem results,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I wouldn't be surprised to hear that she'd bled to death.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Very good. Very good.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Bit fucking cruel. Bit sadistic, know what I mean?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41I ain't done nothing. My wife...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45How could you say such an evil thing?
0:21:45 > 0:21:46What you trying to fit me up for?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Me confess to robbing gas meters or something?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50That what you want, cunt?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01What was she wearing?
0:22:01 > 0:22:02I told you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Open the door, Mr Wilby.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11You're crazy, you know that? Crazy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14That's vicious, what you said.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16As you like.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20So I go, OK?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I'm going out of this madhouse. I'm off.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Just one thing, Mr Delroy.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35If you'd just take a look...
0:22:38 > 0:22:42..see if this is the nightie your late wife was wearing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Mind the blood stains. Still warm, almost.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Sit down, Delroy. Few things I want to ask you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- TV:- 'I hear the Tory party HQ are very optimistic now
0:23:37 > 0:23:40'that they've pulled this election off.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- 'Are you still cautiously optimistic?- Yes, just cautiously.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- 'You hear the polls are in your favour, Mrs Thatcher?- Thank you...
0:23:48 > 0:23:53'Well, if ever anyone looked like a winner, Mrs Thatcher looks like a winner this evening...'
0:24:05 > 0:24:08No need for all that, Mr Delroy.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12It won't bring her back.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19You can't bring the dead back,
0:24:19 > 0:24:20I know about death.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25I've known people to die. I've even known the grief of a dog dying.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Oh, that was terrible.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Made worse by the feeling that I somehow
0:24:31 > 0:24:33shared the responsibility.
0:24:51 > 0:24:548:15.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Actually, she screamed a great deal.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00The gas board man fortunately arrived after all.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02He entered the premises,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06he heard her screaming. Your children were extremely distressed.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09That stands to reason, I suppose. That feeling of helplessness.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10I've known that feeling.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14When the dog I was speaking of died, I felt extremely helpless.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18For children it must be... inconceivable.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25The gas board man did the right thing - he called an ambulance.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28The doctors at the hospital said it was too late.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Oh, they examined her, but they were helpless with regard to arresting
0:25:31 > 0:25:32the approach of death.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Unfortunately, she died at 8:15.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Oh, God...
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Someone once said... I recall hearing someone say
0:25:45 > 0:25:49that death is worse for those who survive the death.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53I think that might well be true. One can't confirm it with the dead.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Mr Karn is having his tea in the canteen.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03He's watching the election programme on TV. He hopes we can deal with this without disturbing him.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06So - shall we begin at the beginning, then?
0:26:08 > 0:26:09My kids...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- My kids?- They're all right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- They were there...- They're in care. - What?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Social services, for the night, put 'em in a hostel -
0:26:20 > 0:26:23well, two actually. They're being looked after.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24We arranged it all very promptly.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27We're used to dealing with unusual situations.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- I've got to see 'em! - That isn't possible.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31- They need me.- I beg your pardon?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35At a time like this they need their father, not some fucking social worker!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38The time they needed their father, he was drinking in a pub.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42The time your wife and their mother died, you were drinking in a pub.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45It seems the death was extraordinarily painful.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Which one might imagine given the unusual circumstances!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I can't believe she's dead.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02You must face the truth.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I can't believe it. I mean...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09her dying...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Would you like to see the nightdress again?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- HE SOBS - That's not helping anyone, is it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I can't believe...
0:27:52 > 0:27:57In times of extreme emotional crisis, it's often advisable to occupy the mind.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00So if we can establish the following facts...
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Yes? Do try to concentrate.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Her full name?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Whose?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10The deceased's?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Georgie.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21I mean, Georgina. I called her Georgie.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24With a Y or an IE?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Y, or IE?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- I never wrote it down. - Never wrote down her name?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38When I wrote her name down I wrote down Georgina.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Georgina, then.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45And her age?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49She was...29.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50She had two children?
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- No, three.- We can't include the aborted foetus, not in the file.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59We had three kids. We were going to have...four.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Names, dates of birth?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Now?- What do you mean, now?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09You've just told me my wife's died.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Which is why we require these details.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- I don't know where my head is. - Its usual place. - I mean, my state of mind.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Do you have a history of mental disorder?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- I've never had a wife die before. - First wife? Only one?- Yeah.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22The only one!
0:29:22 > 0:29:24I see.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35Have you no pity? My wife...
0:29:35 > 0:29:38All my adult life with this lady...
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Year of marriage?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44I was 20.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- How old was she?- She was...younger.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Of legal age to marry?
0:29:49 > 0:29:50What do you mean?
0:29:50 > 0:29:54In this country, a bride must be 16.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57In this country...we got married.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01I see.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Offspring. Names, dates of birth.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Jesus Christ!
0:30:07 > 0:30:09'You can't have forgotten.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12'Course I haven't forgotten! Just in the middle of this...
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- 'The eldest?- He's Joey. He's eight. So he was born June the...14th.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21- 'You don't sound very certain. - I'm certain. Just not certain of the year.'
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- The year of birth of your eldest son?!- I'm in a bit of a state!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Well, it seems a very simple question.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29He'll be eight on June 14th.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Born in 1971, then!- Yeah!
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Yeah. The year Ali... - Were you his father?
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Eh?- Only you don't seem very certain of the date of birth.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Some mental block perhaps?
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Course I'm his father. What the fuck, mister?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49What the fuck are you getting at, what is all this?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Do try to control yourself, Mr Delroy!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Only doing my job.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02I don't want to be on a murder case tonight.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Now, the names and...- What?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08The other children's names and dates of birth.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Murder?
0:31:12 > 0:31:17How'd she die? What are you saying? Eh?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22The circumstances of your wife's death are highly irregular.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25The doctors alerted us to the possibility of foul play
0:31:25 > 0:31:29which will be confirmed by the postmortem. That is why...
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You think someone...killed her?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Oh, yes.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Well, who?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I said, who?!
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Oh, for God's sake, listen.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Listen to me! LISTEN!
0:31:52 > 0:31:53See me?
0:31:55 > 0:32:00I am bleeding. Inside, I'm bleeding, man.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04I've been here for nearly an hour, before you tell me...
0:32:05 > 0:32:10My life is crashed around my ears, and you don't tell me?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Got to get the facts. - This is how you normally do things?
0:32:13 > 0:32:18- Normally do things? - He's asking all these stupid fucking questions!
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Procedure. Procedure.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26You did not deviate from procedure, Mr Wilby?
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- No, sir.- Quite. We have procedures, Mr Delroy.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32They change, from time to time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Orders from the top. From the very top.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Commissioner. Top cop. Word in the ear.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Home Secretary has a word in his ear and it gets passed down
0:32:43 > 0:32:45right along the line.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50The actual texture of the force changes,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52from government to government.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56So you see, Mr Delroy - tonight it's er...unusual.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59We're in a state of chassis tonight.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01At a kind of crossroads.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04And it really does seem as though tomorrow
0:33:04 > 0:33:08we shall have a new government.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Really?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12ITN still reckoning on a 65% majority.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Oh, bugger!
0:33:14 > 0:33:18He's got money on it, the result.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20I don't give a fuck about nothing...
0:33:20 > 0:33:23It's related, Mr Delroy!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Related to your predicament.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29You see, this may prove to be the first case
0:33:29 > 0:33:33to climax under the new regime.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Requiring different perspectives.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39He couldn't remember the date of birth of his eldest child.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Well, you see, there you are.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Depending on the swing of the pendulum. In the old days...
0:33:47 > 0:33:51in the old days until quite recently we'd have said, "Our poor old coloured friend.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55"What could be more natural in the world - the pressures he's under,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58"the miseries of his wretched life on the bottom rung
0:33:58 > 0:34:01"of society's ladder... We must try and understand, poor chap."
0:34:01 > 0:34:04But I sense the sands are shifting.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08I think, Mr Delroy, that all those fucking bleeding-heart social workers
0:34:08 > 0:34:11are for the high jump.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15I think we might find ourselves on firmer ground,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19where we behave as policemen, and not as crutches.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23And we ask, "What do you mean you don't fucking know
0:34:23 > 0:34:28"when the bastard you're claiming family allowance for was born?!
0:34:28 > 0:34:33"I bet you fucking remember when you go for a fucking state handout!"
0:34:35 > 0:34:39I mean, these may be our new orders from the top.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42To toughen up a touch.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47And, believe me, Mr Delroy, after what some of us have endured in the name of freedom
0:34:47 > 0:34:50and equality, and civil rights
0:34:50 > 0:34:55and racial harmony and all that fucking bullshit,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57that will make a nice change.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06To start to come to terms with the realities of these diseased,
0:35:06 > 0:35:07disgusting days.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I think it's on the cards. I think...
0:35:11 > 0:35:16I think, actually, the beloved Thatch is not the soft touch
0:35:16 > 0:35:19she's reckoned to be.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24In fact, a little dicky bird whispered in my ear that she's quite an admirer of policemen.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30That she sees we may be required for the struggle ahead,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33to the tune of a 40% pay rise!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Well, I mean.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39One doesn't fart about with that kind of money...
0:35:39 > 0:35:42unless one intends to flex the muscle it is feeding.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52- Or perhaps I'm er...going too far. - I think you are, rather.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- There's a long way to go. - Quite right.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55- A long night ahead.- Yes.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- A lot can happen.- Indeed.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Cup of coffee, Mr Delroy?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Fetch him a coffee, Mr Wilby, and a Club biscuit.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17BANGING
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Mr Wilby, I thought he ought to go and cool down.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51I forgot.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I forgot his point of view.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Don't want to over-excite him.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04He's had a lot of tragedy in his life.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06He took it very badly.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Couldn't unburden himself.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Couldn't talk to anyone.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16He's unlike us.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Unlike you and me, Mr Delroy.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21He's not a family man.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Now, take me, for example.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I get upset about something,
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I have a wife I can go home to.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I can shed the labours and anxieties of the day
0:37:35 > 0:37:38in conversation across the supper table with my wife.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41She has quite a repertoire of continental dishes
0:37:41 > 0:37:43picked up on our travels.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Now that the kids are off our hands,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52we have the time and the extra finance for travelling, abroad.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59We've become quite jet-setting in our packages.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01In the autumn we might pop over to California
0:38:01 > 0:38:03to see an aunt on the wife's side.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Freddie Laker's done a great deal for people like us.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12We buy Linguaphone records and cassettes
0:38:12 > 0:38:14for each other at Christmas
0:38:14 > 0:38:16so we can learn a phrase or two
0:38:16 > 0:38:19in the native tongue of the country we're going to visit in the summer,
0:38:19 > 0:38:24to enable us to talk to the locals, an exchange of views and customs.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28My wife and I frequently converse on the telephone in foreign languages.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34I ask her what she's cooking for supper in Spanish...
0:38:35 > 0:38:41..and then she enquires after my work in French.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Or Greek.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49Oh, yes. And that's the difference between Wilby and me,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51between him and you.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53He has no family life.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58He's alone.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01He has no wife.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04My wife...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09..she died tonight.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13My wife
0:39:13 > 0:39:15and the child she was carrying.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17About her pregnancy...
0:39:17 > 0:39:18They're both dead.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I...
0:39:25 > 0:39:26I do understand.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28And I want to help you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34You want me to get it off your chest? Hmm?
0:39:37 > 0:39:42But first we just have to get these things down, the basics.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47We don't even have your address here.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53He said she'd been killed.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Oh, yes.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Murdered.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Indeed, someone caused her...death.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Who?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Who? What do you mean, "Who?"
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Who did it?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Eh?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Why?- Why?!- Whoever...
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Come off it, old son! I mean,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15why the fuck do you think we brought you in here?
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Your address?
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
0:40:25 > 0:40:26You think...?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31I weren't even there when...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34From after seven!
0:40:34 > 0:40:40There is no necessity for the person responsible for the death
0:40:40 > 0:40:43to be with the victim at the time of the victim's last breath.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Jesus Christ.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51On the contrary, in my experience of 27 murders,
0:40:51 > 0:40:52the killer is rarely on the scene
0:40:52 > 0:40:55unless it was he who called us to confess.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58And invariably they're domestics. Husband and wife do's.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Oh, of course, you never called us, did you?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- I was at... - It was the doctor on casualty
0:41:04 > 0:41:06at the hospital who called us.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12You think...
0:41:12 > 0:41:17I never speculate. I have hunches.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Intuitions.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I check the facts in a series of eliminations
0:41:21 > 0:41:25and I'm left with the undeniable.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Mostly as I had suspected.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29So...
0:41:32 > 0:41:34You live at...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Oh, there it is!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You've lived there for how long?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I demand to phone my solicitor.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Oh, you what?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45You think...
0:41:47 > 0:41:50What you're saying, what you're inferring...
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Yeah, what you're inferring...
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I demand to talk to my solicitor.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Why?
0:41:58 > 0:41:59I've got rights. I know my rights,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02and my rights is I can talk to my solicitor.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I've been here for nearly four hours. Let me go.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Oh, I can't do that.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Then my right is I can talk to a solicitor!
0:42:09 > 0:42:10You insisting on that?
0:42:10 > 0:42:13You're dead right I'm insisting. I'm insisting!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18It's my legal entitlement and I stand by my entitlement.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20I see.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23I thought, just the two of us, a cosy little chat...
0:42:23 > 0:42:24I demand...
0:42:27 > 0:42:28All right.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Get Wilby up here pronto.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37He's in the canteen.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39There's a man here demanding his rights.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Ooh, how many's that they've lost now, then?
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Of course, your rights,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56they might all be candyfloss come tomorrow, the new dawn.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05You could make it easy for yourself.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I'm not saying nothing until I've had my rights, and that's that.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14- I see. Man of your word, are you? - I am.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19- When you say something, you stand by it?- I do.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22So when you told your wife you didn't want another kid
0:43:22 > 0:43:27cos she was on the breadline, what with the 23 quid whatsit, and, er...
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Oh, yeah, that's interesting.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42- What's the matter?- Beg your pardon?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44What are you writing down? What's that, then?
0:43:44 > 0:43:46- I'm afraid I can't tell you that. - Yeah, but you can't...
0:43:46 > 0:43:49I don't think either of us had better say anything
0:43:49 > 0:43:51until you've taken advice from your solicitor,
0:43:51 > 0:43:54since things have become so unreasonably official.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57And I shall say nothing.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04I ain't saying nothing neither.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14Right.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26HE YAWNS
0:44:37 > 0:44:40WATER DRIPS
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Bonsoir, ma cherie.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Ooh, je ne sais pas.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Je crois, je crois...
0:46:02 > 0:46:06..c'est pas possible que j'arrive a la maison ce soir.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10Parce que j'ai...um...
0:46:12 > 0:46:15..j'arrive pendant le matin, je crois.
0:46:18 > 0:46:19Ooh!
0:46:20 > 0:46:23My wife's cooking a French lunch for us tomorrow.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28Tres bien, ma cherie. Au revoir!
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Look, what I'm saying is...
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Oh, now you want to say something?
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Well, be reasonable.
0:46:44 > 0:46:50- I've been here since, what...? - Oh, I say, that's a very nice watch.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54That's a very nice watch indeed.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Not the sort of watch I'd have expected a man...
0:46:57 > 0:47:00Is it a crime to have a watch now?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Now, now, Mr Delroy, you're being hypothetical again.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Is it an offence for you to be in possession of that watch,
0:47:06 > 0:47:12you enquire. I do not know. I cannot know until I've sifted the facts.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14I do not know.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18You'd be amazed, Mr Delroy, at the number of humdrum little things
0:47:18 > 0:47:19that CAN be offences these days.
0:47:19 > 0:47:24It's staggering. There are hundreds of new things every year.
0:47:24 > 0:47:29The statute book's as big as the Bible, it gets larger and larger.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32In some countries, they review the laws every few years
0:47:32 > 0:47:33and chuck out all the old,
0:47:33 > 0:47:37outdated, useless laws to keep the overall total down.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40It makes life a little easier for the law enforcement officers.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Has its faults, of course.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44It makes it difficult to know, for example,
0:47:44 > 0:47:46what procedure to follow
0:47:46 > 0:47:48should we witness, on East Ham High Street,
0:47:48 > 0:47:51a crusader chopping the head off a dragon.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53But by and large it's a sensible policy.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Listen, I just...
0:47:55 > 0:48:00Mr Delroy, you have posed a highly complex fucking question,
0:48:00 > 0:48:05and you shall hear a highly complex fucking answer.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Given the state of things in English law,
0:48:08 > 0:48:10the refusal of successive governments
0:48:10 > 0:48:14to withdraw the outdated laws even after many centuries of disuse,
0:48:14 > 0:48:15we find ourselves
0:48:15 > 0:48:20in possession of a compelling, mind-boggling catalogue of crimes.
0:48:20 > 0:48:25You moan and you whine and you whimper about sus
0:48:25 > 0:48:29and harassment by the police, but by Christ,
0:48:29 > 0:48:34we could nail you any day of the week for a galaxy of crimes, sunshine.
0:48:34 > 0:48:38Do you know that it is an offence for an Englishman
0:48:38 > 0:48:42over the age of 12 not to practise archery on a Sunday morning?
0:48:42 > 0:48:44It is an offence!
0:48:44 > 0:48:46I could pick you up any Sunday morning
0:48:46 > 0:48:48for not doing your archery, Delroy.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51What are you fucking talking about?!
0:48:51 > 0:48:54Henry V! Good King Harry. It was all his doing.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56You know what he was like,
0:48:56 > 0:48:59after his three unforgettable victories
0:48:59 > 0:49:01won by his archers,
0:49:01 > 0:49:05he did pass, by royal decree in the early 15th century
0:49:05 > 0:49:09that every man over the age of 12 was to practise archery
0:49:09 > 0:49:12for at least one hour every Sunday morning,
0:49:12 > 0:49:17and that law has never been repealed!
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Although, if I ever catch you with a bow and arrow
0:49:20 > 0:49:24on Wanstead Flats on a Sunday morning, Delroy,
0:49:24 > 0:49:26I'll do you for offensive weapons.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Curious, what?
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Listen...
0:49:31 > 0:49:34See, what this country needs
0:49:34 > 0:49:38is a strong government to sort out the laws. Bring some order!
0:49:38 > 0:49:40You're mad.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Someone up there is. Someone up there's round the fucking bend.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Do you know it's an offence to drop a hand grenade
0:49:48 > 0:49:49out of a balloon? I kid you not.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52It's OK to drop napalm in Vietnam,
0:49:52 > 0:49:59but it is a crime against humanity to drop a hand grenade out of a balloon
0:49:59 > 0:50:05according to the St Petersburg Conference of 1880.
0:50:07 > 0:50:12I see I have intrigued you with my knowledge of history.
0:50:12 > 0:50:19Hated it at school, but now I can't read enough of the stuff.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21I belong to the History Book Club.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28It gives one a perspective on things.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35Callaghan was on. He refused to comment.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37He looked extremely put out when they asked him
0:50:37 > 0:50:40to comment on how it was going. They were routed in Angus South.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Mr Delroy here has little interest in Angus South,
0:50:44 > 0:50:48- but like Sonny Jim, he refuses to comment.- Oh.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52Oh, well, that makes things a bit difficult.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54He's asked to speak to his solicitor.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57- What bloody cheek!- Hmm.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59- Couldn't believe my ears. - I know my rights.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02A word in your ear, Wilby.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14- Right, empty your pockets.- Eh?
0:51:14 > 0:51:16You've got to empty your pockets.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18I ain't saying nothing.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20- Do it without talking, then.- No.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22It's procedure, Delroy, it's your rights.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25There's a set of events which must be carried out in order
0:51:25 > 0:51:28before you get your rights to phone your solicitor.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32Before we let you do that, you've got to empty your pockets.
0:51:32 > 0:51:33I never knew that.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Look on it as an education, then.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Write this down.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59One packet cigarette papers.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01One packet cigarette papers.
0:52:01 > 0:52:06One tin containing...tobacco.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09One tin containing tobacco.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Three keys on ring.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Three keys on ring.
0:52:19 > 0:52:2150 pence in coins.
0:52:21 > 0:52:2250 pence.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25In coins, as opposed to notes.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Three pound notes in wallet.
0:52:31 > 0:52:36One underground train ticket dated February l2th, value 60p.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41One airmail letter post-marked Trenchtown.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47One...photo.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55One comb, containing hair.
0:52:58 > 0:53:02One packet of half-empty cheese biscuits.
0:53:02 > 0:53:03Give us the watch.
0:53:13 > 0:53:14One watch.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18- Anything else?- No.
0:53:18 > 0:53:19Right, then, Delroy.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Dial nine for a line.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48Something the matter?
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- I, erm...- Line all right?
0:53:50 > 0:53:52It's...
0:53:53 > 0:53:54Well, come on, Delroy, get a move on.
0:53:54 > 0:53:58All the fuss and aggravation you've caused demanding your rights,
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Wilby here's missed his supper break.
0:54:00 > 0:54:01It's just...
0:54:03 > 0:54:07..I ain't got a solicitor.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10I don't exactly know any solicitors.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14You don't have to play golf with them.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17You just have to phone one up, them's your rights.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20There was one I talked to at the Law Centre.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23I don't know the number. Do you know their number?
0:54:23 > 0:54:26- No.- What do I do?- Do?
0:54:26 > 0:54:28I want to talk to a solicitor.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30You're asking me...
0:54:32 > 0:54:35- ME... what you should do? - If you know any solicitors.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37I know dozens.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42I'd be grateful if...you'd...
0:54:42 > 0:54:44What?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46If you'd tell me one's name,
0:54:46 > 0:54:48so I'd phone him up, if you know the number.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Did you hear that?
0:54:54 > 0:54:56Tollerton, Davies and Ludd.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57Thank you.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03Do you know the number?
0:55:05 > 0:55:07544 2873.
0:55:07 > 0:55:08Thank you.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23Oh, Delroy,
0:55:23 > 0:55:27that's the, er... That's the office number.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29It's now two o'clock in the morning.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55That's personal, what you're looking at.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57Who is this?
0:55:57 > 0:56:00- The photo?- Who?
0:56:03 > 0:56:04That's a photo of Georgie.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Your wife?
0:56:07 > 0:56:09- Yes.- Who died tonight!
0:56:14 > 0:56:17This is a letter from her, then?
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Yes.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23She wrote you a letter?
0:56:23 > 0:56:26Yes, sir.
0:56:26 > 0:56:30What's she doing writing you a letter, then?
0:56:30 > 0:56:32It was some years ago.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34From Trenchtown.
0:56:34 > 0:56:39- She went there, with the baby. - Went back to Trenchrown. Why?
0:56:39 > 0:56:40Holiday?
0:56:42 > 0:56:49How can that lot afford flights to fucking nig-nog land? Freddie Laker don't go there.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51We were going to go back there to live.
0:56:51 > 0:56:55She wasn't especially talented at writing letters, was she?
0:56:55 > 0:56:57It was the only one she ever wrote.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59To you.
0:57:01 > 0:57:02I kept it.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04I can't read this scrawl.
0:57:05 > 0:57:07A poem, is it? Is it a poem?
0:57:10 > 0:57:13I missed her, when she went there.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15By there, you mean Trenchtown?
0:57:15 > 0:57:19You was thinking of going back home? Pity you didn't.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21We talked about it...
0:57:23 > 0:57:25The circumstances here.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28The job...
0:57:28 > 0:57:30in Sudbury.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35I had to get up at four o'clock in the morning...
0:57:35 > 0:57:38and walk for miles.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40You should have gone back. Back home.
0:57:40 > 0:57:44Then we had another baby coming.
0:57:44 > 0:57:47So, to make a life here.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49So your missus went to sort out the possibilities?
0:57:53 > 0:57:56She liked the idea.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59We was saving up.
0:57:59 > 0:58:03- For four and a half years. - She come back?
0:58:04 > 0:58:08Then she had another baby.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11You must have been pleased when she came back.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15I lost the job.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17Never the money, like.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20This a poem, then?
0:58:20 > 0:58:23She wrote poetry, then?
0:58:25 > 0:58:26Nah...
0:58:28 > 0:58:29It's a song.
0:58:33 > 0:58:36She thought I'd miss her when she went.
0:58:38 > 0:58:42I did.
0:58:42 > 0:58:44The week before she went...
0:58:44 > 0:58:49we went to see this concert. At the Lyceum.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52Marley, he sang it.
0:58:55 > 0:58:58Her name in the song, and her going back, like...
0:59:01 > 0:59:02Well...
0:59:03 > 0:59:07..it was her song to me. And me to her.
0:59:16 > 0:59:18No woman, no cry
0:59:18 > 0:59:21I remember when we used to sit
0:59:21 > 0:59:25By the government garden in Trenchtown
0:59:25 > 0:59:27That was a place of rest
0:59:27 > 0:59:32We would mingle with the good people we met
0:59:32 > 0:59:36Good friends we have Good friends we last...
0:59:36 > 0:59:38Good friends we LOST.
0:59:45 > 0:59:46You read it.
1:00:01 > 1:00:03Along the way
1:00:04 > 1:00:09In this great future you can't forget your past
1:00:09 > 1:00:11Sobriety, as I say
1:00:13 > 1:00:16No woman, no cry
1:00:19 > 1:00:23Little darling, don't shed no tears
1:00:26 > 1:00:29Remember when we used to sit
1:00:29 > 1:00:33In the government garden in Trenchtown
1:00:33 > 1:00:36And then...
1:00:40 > 1:00:45Georgie...
1:00:45 > 1:00:47..would make a fire light
1:00:47 > 1:00:51So it was wood smoke burning through the night
1:00:53 > 1:00:57Then we would go to the forest
1:00:57 > 1:01:01For things I share with you
1:01:02 > 1:01:04My feet...
1:01:04 > 1:01:06is my only carriage
1:01:08 > 1:01:11Cos I'm gonna push on through
1:01:11 > 1:01:14But what I'm gonna believe is
1:01:20 > 1:01:22Everything is gonna be all right
1:01:25 > 1:01:26Everything...
1:01:28 > 1:01:31..is gonna be...
1:01:32 > 1:01:33..all right.
1:01:40 > 1:01:43HE SOBS
1:02:07 > 1:02:09But it's not all right, is it?
1:02:22 > 1:02:25You should have got out, Delroy.
1:02:25 > 1:02:27When you had the chance.
1:02:29 > 1:02:33I wouldn't like to be a nigger in the new England.
1:02:33 > 1:02:38Yesterday they voted for the price of bacon and a tenner off your tax.
1:02:38 > 1:02:42They talked about supermarkets and jobs.
1:02:42 > 1:02:47They didn't mentioned what was going to happen to the likes of dole scroungers like you.
1:02:47 > 1:02:50There'll be no protection now.
1:02:50 > 1:02:54I think the results tonight prove that people got a bit sick of all that.
1:02:56 > 1:02:59Sick of civil fucking liberties,
1:02:59 > 1:03:02and Anti-Fucking-Nazi Leagues having riots in our decent streets
1:03:02 > 1:03:05and thousands of honest coppers being dragged out
1:03:05 > 1:03:08to stop fucking Yids and Pakis and Indians and God-knows-who
1:03:08 > 1:03:11bashing hell out of half a dozen stupid,
1:03:11 > 1:03:14inarticulate red-necked fascists.
1:03:16 > 1:03:17They got sick, all right.
1:03:19 > 1:03:23They got so sick they had to form a special force -
1:03:23 > 1:03:26a Special Patrol Group.
1:03:26 > 1:03:27It's all trained up.
1:03:27 > 1:03:30Waiting for the order.
1:03:30 > 1:03:35I think things are going to be different from now on, Delroy.
1:03:35 > 1:03:39I think you lot step out of line from now on,
1:03:39 > 1:03:41and there'll be no fucking dole, mate...
1:03:45 > 1:03:47Just a one-way ticket home.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55Racist...
1:03:55 > 1:03:56pig.
1:04:01 > 1:04:04I was rather hoping you were going to be able to resist
1:04:04 > 1:04:07using that particular insult, Mr Delroy.
1:04:10 > 1:04:14It has the effect of bringing back some unfortunate memories for Mr Wilby here.
1:04:15 > 1:04:20- Doesn't it, Wilby?- It does indeed.
1:04:20 > 1:04:21Tell him what happened.
1:04:23 > 1:04:25I'd rather not.
1:04:25 > 1:04:28That is an instruction, Mr Wilby.
1:04:34 > 1:04:38There was a riot. And, er... in the bustle, the demonstrators,
1:04:38 > 1:04:39they were...kicking us...
1:04:39 > 1:04:41When we protected ourselves,
1:04:41 > 1:04:45they screamed when the television cameras were on them -
1:04:45 > 1:04:47they screamed, "Racist pigs, fascist pigs!"
1:04:51 > 1:04:56- Do I have to continue, sir? - Tell him! Tell him what happened before the Special Patrol Group.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58We were unprotected!
1:05:00 > 1:05:03I was kicked - harshly in the genitals.
1:05:03 > 1:05:06Rusty, my dog, he went berserk.
1:05:06 > 1:05:09He chased the demonstrator to his house.
1:05:09 > 1:05:12I was on the end of the lead, in pain.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15Rusty chased him up the stairs.
1:05:15 > 1:05:19But he opened the door of his room and slammed it hard, shut...
1:05:20 > 1:05:23..crushing Rusty's skull in the gap.
1:05:27 > 1:05:29I was powerless to help.
1:05:32 > 1:05:35Rusty's head was smashed tight in the closed door.
1:05:35 > 1:05:38The demonstrator was too afraid to open it.
1:05:38 > 1:05:40The dog screamed in agony.
1:05:42 > 1:05:45He... The demonstrator inside the room, the youth,
1:05:45 > 1:05:48reached out and took a weighing machine - a heavy old weighing machine -
1:05:48 > 1:05:53and struck Rusty repeatedly over the head with it.
1:05:53 > 1:05:54Crushing the skull.
1:05:56 > 1:05:58Until he died.
1:05:59 > 1:06:02I thought that was extremely cruel to do to a dog.
1:06:02 > 1:06:06Yeah, sure. But I don't know what any of that has to do with me.
1:06:06 > 1:06:10Tonight, your wife was found dead in highly suspicious circumstances.
1:06:10 > 1:06:14She was in enormous pain, screaming out loud and bleeding like a soda fountain.
1:06:14 > 1:06:17On the bedside table were pills. It was like a chemist's shop
1:06:17 > 1:06:20- Yeah, I got them for her! - When?- She was having a lot of pain last night.
1:06:20 > 1:06:22- A lot?- She had it six months ago. Belly aches.
1:06:22 > 1:06:25She went up the hospital. This was when we found out she was pregnant!
1:06:25 > 1:06:29- You didn't know?- Didn't like to think about it.- Why not?
1:06:29 > 1:06:32When she said she'd missed her period, the thought of another kid...
1:06:32 > 1:06:36- I understand.- His rooms are really quite frightful. They smell.
1:06:36 > 1:06:38The whole house smells of Jeyes Fluid.
1:06:41 > 1:06:44I understand why you'd have wanted to end the pregnancy.
1:06:44 > 1:06:47- She didn't believe in that. - Morally?
1:06:47 > 1:06:50She doesn't look like a very moral woman. She wears fake eyelashes!
1:06:50 > 1:06:55I understand. Is that why you never went to see a doctor about a LEGAL abortion?
1:06:55 > 1:06:57I went to the doctor for something for her pain.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59- When?- This morning.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02- It was bad again this morning? - It was terrible this morning.
1:07:02 > 1:07:04You spent three fucking hours down the pub!
1:07:06 > 1:07:09She was all right after I went to the doctor this morning.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11- YOU went to the doctor? - Yeah, I'm telling you...
1:07:11 > 1:07:14Your wife's in pain, so you go to the doctor.
1:07:14 > 1:07:17If she'd had toothache, would you have gone to the dentist?
1:07:17 > 1:07:19- She couldn't walk for pain! - When did he visit her?
1:07:19 > 1:07:22- He didn't visit her!- Why not? - He said it wasn't necessary.
1:07:22 > 1:07:25She's dead!
1:07:25 > 1:07:26I asked him to come,
1:07:26 > 1:07:29but he said it was the baby, the time that she was pregnant,
1:07:29 > 1:07:32he said it was normal sometimes.
1:07:32 > 1:07:36- He doesn't sound like a very conscientious doctor.- Not white!
1:07:36 > 1:07:38- His name?- I don't know.
1:07:38 > 1:07:41You don't know the name of your own doctor?!
1:07:41 > 1:07:44- I can't pronounce it. - So you just left it at that, then!
1:07:44 > 1:07:47He gave me some pills. I mean, he give them for her.
1:07:47 > 1:07:48And?
1:07:48 > 1:07:51I went to the chemist and got them and she took them.
1:07:51 > 1:07:54I mean, he'd given me a prescription and I got them
1:07:54 > 1:07:57and she took them. She was very hot.
1:07:57 > 1:08:00You said she was shivering - you tried to mend the fire.
1:08:00 > 1:08:01She said she was shivering!
1:08:01 > 1:08:03The pills, the pills?
1:08:03 > 1:08:05She took them. Said she felt a lot better.
1:08:05 > 1:08:09She had a kip. She was asleep. She was a lot better.
1:08:09 > 1:08:11So you went down the pub.
1:08:11 > 1:08:14I weren't going to go. She wanted me to go.
1:08:14 > 1:08:17- So you went?- Yes.
1:08:20 > 1:08:24At your flat, my chaps found a screwdriver.
1:08:24 > 1:08:28It was long and thin and very bloody. It was covered in blood.
1:08:28 > 1:08:32The same blood that was on the nightie and the sheets and the floor!
1:08:32 > 1:08:37- I was trying to mend the gas fire. - It was smothered in your wife's blood!
1:08:40 > 1:08:44Don't go on about her bleeding and fucking bloody all the time!
1:08:44 > 1:08:48The casualty doctors, as soon as they saw her, they knew. Right away!
1:08:48 > 1:08:53They phoned us up. They said, someone's done an abortion on her.
1:08:53 > 1:08:56All the signs of interference.
1:08:56 > 1:08:59You did it. You fucking killed her.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02You left her to die and went boozing down the pub.
1:09:02 > 1:09:04Lies, lies - fucking lies!
1:09:04 > 1:09:07That poor woman... you wiped her out like that.
1:09:12 > 1:09:13I didn't mean...
1:09:20 > 1:09:22Make it easy on yourself.
1:09:26 > 1:09:28Admit it now, Delroy.
1:09:28 > 1:09:32Then we can all go home and watch the election results.
1:09:54 > 1:09:57Wilby, watch him.
1:10:30 > 1:10:31Arghhh!
1:10:36 > 1:10:38- DELROY GASPS - What? Eh?
1:10:44 > 1:10:46Don't understand.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19DOG BARKS
1:11:45 > 1:11:47BABY CRIES
1:12:06 > 1:12:08I'm sorry, Georgie.
1:12:28 > 1:12:30DELROY GROANS
1:12:44 > 1:12:46- MARGARET THATCHER: - By very happy tradition,
1:12:46 > 1:12:50my first duty is to thank the returning officer
1:12:50 > 1:12:53for the splendid way in which the people have presided
1:12:53 > 1:12:56at the polling booths and counted our count,
1:12:56 > 1:12:59and a particular word of thanks to the police,
1:12:59 > 1:13:03for the way in which they have dealt with everything which has transpired...
1:13:03 > 1:13:04APPLAUSE ON TV
1:13:04 > 1:13:07Everything which has transpired.
1:13:24 > 1:13:27BLOWS PARTY HOOTER
1:13:31 > 1:13:33Callaghan's expected to resign at any minute.
1:13:33 > 1:13:34DELROY GROANS
1:13:34 > 1:13:37Thorpe lost his seat.
1:13:37 > 1:13:39He lost Devon.
1:13:39 > 1:13:42That put Mr Karn in very high spirits.
1:13:42 > 1:13:44He'd be positively elated
1:13:44 > 1:13:47if he hadn't had to hang around here all night, for you.
1:13:47 > 1:13:52He'll book you us soon as the postmortem comes through. Not long now.
1:13:52 > 1:13:54Someone must help me.
1:13:57 > 1:14:00We'd call your GP, only you said you couldn't remember his name.
1:14:00 > 1:14:02HE SCOFFS
1:14:02 > 1:14:05I can't see any bruising.
1:14:05 > 1:14:09Mind you, it probably wouldn't show up anyway, would it?
1:14:12 > 1:14:14This is a nightmare.
1:14:18 > 1:14:21And this doesn't happen in England.
1:14:22 > 1:14:25It's been quite a time for you, hasn't it?
1:14:25 > 1:14:26One way or the other.
1:14:33 > 1:14:34My children...
1:14:37 > 1:14:44I don't think you'll be seeing them for quite a long time.
1:14:44 > 1:14:46There must be someone I can talk to.
1:14:49 > 1:14:52Well, everyone here's very angry with you.
1:14:52 > 1:14:56They think you're a savage, doing what you done.
1:14:58 > 1:15:01I mean, we appreciate your limited finances,
1:15:01 > 1:15:04but you can get abortions on the National Health.
1:15:04 > 1:15:05I never did it.
1:15:06 > 1:15:10Well, that's just not true!
1:15:10 > 1:15:11I love her.
1:15:13 > 1:15:15Takes all sorts.
1:15:15 > 1:15:17DOOR OPENS
1:15:28 > 1:15:30Has he confessed yet?
1:15:30 > 1:15:33- No.- Then fuck him.
1:15:33 > 1:15:35As soon as the doctor rings, charge him,
1:15:35 > 1:15:37have him up in court at 10:30am.
1:15:37 > 1:15:40I want this case public today!
1:15:45 > 1:15:47MUFFLED: The new dawn.
1:15:51 > 1:15:54Let them chew his bollocks off.
1:16:05 > 1:16:07This bacon's like old rope.
1:16:13 > 1:16:18Should have gone back to Trenchtown when you had the chance. Hm?
1:16:18 > 1:16:20You would have been better off there,
1:16:20 > 1:16:22to where you're going.
1:16:24 > 1:16:25I don't know...
1:16:27 > 1:16:31I don't know why you didn't see the writing on the wall.
1:16:32 > 1:16:35How much dole did you say you get?
1:16:35 > 1:16:40I mean, why the fuck should we be bled for the likes of you?
1:16:40 > 1:16:42What did you think it'd be like when you got over here?
1:16:42 > 1:16:44I was born here.
1:16:44 > 1:16:46Yeah, but your father weren't.
1:16:47 > 1:16:50Someone, somewhere in your family weren't.
1:16:53 > 1:16:56Skip reckons Keith Joseph will be Home Secretary.
1:16:56 > 1:16:59There's a no-nonsense man.
1:17:00 > 1:17:02He'll ship the lot of you home.
1:17:02 > 1:17:05Government will run the full the five years...
1:17:05 > 1:17:08Thatch will be the governor...
1:17:08 > 1:17:10in 1984.
1:17:10 > 1:17:13There's a thought.
1:17:13 > 1:17:15Are you a political man, Mr Delroy?
1:17:16 > 1:17:19Yesterday I'd have said no.
1:17:21 > 1:17:23Today it begins.
1:17:24 > 1:17:27Well, if there's a by-election you'll be able to stand as a candidate,
1:17:28 > 1:17:30since you're on a murder charge.
1:17:30 > 1:17:34There was an incident... Refresh my memory, Wilby.
1:17:34 > 1:17:35In The Job, I read it.
1:17:35 > 1:17:39Some prisoner, some nick... Prisoner refused...
1:17:40 > 1:17:42They wouldn't let him play rugby.
1:17:42 > 1:17:44Rugby union for the prison team.
1:17:44 > 1:17:47He was a murderer, too.
1:17:47 > 1:17:49Yeah, I remember reading it...
1:17:49 > 1:17:53The president of the Rugby Union Federation, or whatever it was,
1:17:53 > 1:17:56said, "There are no rules in rugby union
1:17:56 > 1:18:00"preventing convicted murderers from playing our game,
1:18:00 > 1:18:02"but this man cannot play for the team
1:18:02 > 1:18:05"because he has played rugby league."
1:18:05 > 1:18:08I dunno - we're all barmy.
1:18:08 > 1:18:09Thorpe lost, then?
1:18:09 > 1:18:11You lost your bet.
1:18:11 > 1:18:17- Yeah, well, Government ministers are losing their seats. - No-one is safe from the Thatch.
1:18:17 > 1:18:20PHONE RINGS
1:18:24 > 1:18:25Yes?
1:18:27 > 1:18:28Yes.
1:18:32 > 1:18:33All right, then.
1:18:37 > 1:18:40That was the governor. He wants to see you.
1:18:40 > 1:18:43- Well, I'm waiting for the postmortem...- They've called him.
1:18:43 > 1:18:44Well?
1:18:44 > 1:18:46He wants to see you.
1:18:46 > 1:18:47Now?
1:18:47 > 1:18:49Urgently.
1:18:49 > 1:18:50Fuck it.
1:18:55 > 1:18:58Wilby, entertain Mr Delroy.
1:19:07 > 1:19:11You're looking rather subdued, Mr Delroy.
1:19:11 > 1:19:14You in a reflective mood, perhaps?
1:19:16 > 1:19:19Would you do things differently, change things?
1:19:19 > 1:19:22Hm, is that what you're thinking?
1:19:22 > 1:19:24I'm thinking...
1:19:26 > 1:19:30Not have children, not get married?
1:19:30 > 1:19:33I'm thinking
1:19:33 > 1:19:37about the day this white boss
1:19:37 > 1:19:41called me a lazy fucking nigger.
1:19:44 > 1:19:46This white boss,
1:19:47 > 1:19:49in the factory, in Sudbury.
1:19:52 > 1:19:54He was so ignorant, and...
1:19:56 > 1:19:57..I thought...
1:19:59 > 1:20:01"Don't fight him.
1:20:02 > 1:20:04"He's winding you up.
1:20:04 > 1:20:06"Let it go."
1:20:12 > 1:20:13Yes?
1:20:16 > 1:20:21I'm thinking I wish I'd kicked his fucking teeth down his throat.
1:20:21 > 1:20:24Well, that wouldn't have achieved anything.
1:20:24 > 1:20:25Except the sack.
1:20:25 > 1:20:28I got the sack anyway.
1:20:31 > 1:20:34I'd have felt better when you did me over, though.
1:20:36 > 1:20:39I'd have dreamt I was doing it to you.
1:20:44 > 1:20:45I'm innocent.
1:20:46 > 1:20:48Sure.
1:20:49 > 1:20:51I didn't do it.
1:20:53 > 1:20:54I never did it.
1:20:54 > 1:20:56FOOTSTEPS
1:21:03 > 1:21:06- HE WHISPERS: He didn't do it.- What?
1:21:06 > 1:21:09Cock up - the fucking doctors got it wrong. He never did it.
1:21:09 > 1:21:12- But they said... - I know what they fucking said.
1:21:12 > 1:21:15They went straight to the governor to explain their mistake.
1:21:15 > 1:21:18It looked like what they said but the postmortem revealed...
1:21:34 > 1:21:36Um...
1:21:36 > 1:21:40It seems you're owed an apology, Mr Delroy.
1:21:41 > 1:21:46Your wife died of an ectopic pregnancy.
1:21:48 > 1:21:52There was a rupture in her fallopian tube.
1:21:53 > 1:21:57The foetus was stuck there. It was starting to grow there.
1:21:59 > 1:22:04The tube is the width of...a hair.
1:22:06 > 1:22:10The doctors said this accounted for the vast haemorrhage.
1:22:11 > 1:22:16Also explained why she would have experienced some discomfort.

1:22:22 > 1:22:27..it SEEMED definite, given the...
1:22:27 > 1:22:31screwdriver all bloody and...
1:22:34 > 1:22:37It's a rare complication.

1:22:50 > 1:22:52You can go.
1:22:55 > 1:22:56Go?
1:22:57 > 1:22:59Just like that?
1:23:00 > 1:23:02Far to go? Do you want a lift?
1:23:02 > 1:23:03I'll go on my own.
