00:00Stop yelling! You're making me nervous.
00:07Almost dying makes me nervous. You flew past two stop signs.
00:11I didn't want you to be late on your first day.
00:16I appreciate that, but this was a bad idea.
00:20I'm afraid I'll have to postpone your lessons while I do jury service.
00:24Well, how long would that be for?
00:26I can't say for sure, and I'm afraid I can't speak about the case once it starts.
00:30I'm more than happy for you and Father Brand to observe,
00:33but there'll be no discussions of any kind about the case.
00:36Understood. We will withhold our opinions until the case is concluded.
00:40Good luck, Mrs Sullivan.
00:41Thank you, Father.
00:44How am I supposed to improve if I can't practice?
00:47You may be resuming your lessons sooner than you think.
00:51This is likely to be a short trial.
00:53Well, how do you know that?
00:54According to the paper, the accused has already confessed.
01:06I've never been to a murder trial before.
01:10Sorry, Father. I know you knew the victim.
01:14Who was he again?
01:16His name was Arthur Goddard.
01:19He was a good man.
01:21I met him through his daughter Josie, who attended catechism as a child.
01:27That's her there, on the end of the green dress.
01:31All rise, for his honour, Judge Carmichael.
01:48Will the accused please rise?
01:50Please state your full name for the court.
01:57David Thomas Ensley.
02:01You are indicted on one count of murder.
02:04Namely, that on 9th of May, 1955, you did murder Arthur Goddard contrary to common law.
02:11Do you understand the charge against you?
02:13Yes.
02:15How do you plead?
02:18Not guilty.
02:19What's the blimmin' hold up?
02:20I'm not sure.
02:21Members of the jury.
02:22I must inform you, that the defendant has excused his counsel and wishes to represent himself.
02:26MR.
02:27Which we are very happy.
02:28How do you plead?
02:30Don't you plead?
02:334th of May…
02:37No, no, no, no...
02:40What's the blimmin' hold up?
02:42I'm not sure.
02:44Members of the jury.
02:46I must inform you that the defendant has excused his counsel, and wishes to represent himself.
02:52Something I will allow.
02:55He's fired his barrister.
02:58Is that a good idea, Father?
03:00Not usually, no.
03:02Ladies and gentlemen,
03:05Arthur Goddard lived and worked peacefully as a potter on his small plot of land all his life
03:11until he was brutally stabbed in his workshop in the dead of night.
03:18Why would this happen?
03:20Because five years ago, he gave David Ensley a job
03:27after he was released from prison for manslaughter.
03:32By all accounts, Mr Goddard offered him his friendship.
03:36But on the day of the murder, employees overheard a heated exchange between them.
03:43And Mr Ensley was given his marching orders.
03:45Police later received a telephone call from Mr Goddard as he lay dying.
03:52They caught Mr Ensley attempting to flee.
03:57He had his employer's blood on his coat and cash in his pocket taken from the safety deposit box.
04:03Mr Ensley gave a full confession to police after his arrest.
04:09A confession he now wishes to retract.
04:13But I believe we will prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he is guilty of this crime.
04:20I know how it looks, but I never killed Arthur.
04:40He gave me that money.
04:41I never took it.
04:42And I only went back to check on him and saw someone else had stabbed him.
04:53And I shouldn't have run.
04:56But I swear he won't me.
05:05Do you think he's telling the truth, Father?
05:12I tend to find out.
05:31I'm not a man of faith, Father.
05:34That's not why I'm here.
05:35I knew Arthur.
05:43And I would like to know the truth.
05:48Were you lying when you confessed to his murder?
05:53Or did you lie in court when you pleaded innocent?
05:56I didn't kill him.
05:59That's the truth.
06:01Then why wait till now to defend yourself?
06:05Of course, I knew the police would take one look at me.
06:11The blood.
06:12Did you assume I was guilty?
06:19Most men would have protested, nonetheless.
06:23I learned a long time ago.
06:27If you can't win, don't fight.
06:33But you have decided to fight.
06:35So perhaps you have faith, after all.
06:39No.
06:43I'm sure I'll be hanged.
06:46And I had made my peace for that.
06:48Well, then my solicitor said pleading guilty might mean being locked up for the rest of my life.
06:55I'd rather die.
06:58And your previous conviction for manslaughter?
07:03Were you falsely accused of that, too?
07:05No.
07:07I used to want to pick a fight with the whole world.
07:13Tell it hit a man so hard, he never got up again.
07:19I deserved what came to me.
07:23I know how wrong it is to take a life.
07:26Especially a man like Arthur's.
07:38No.
07:40You didn't kill Arthur.
07:43But you are already in the dock, so I do not have much time to find the real culprit.
07:48You will have to assist me.
07:50Why to, Father?
07:52But how?
07:52Time's up.
07:53By recounting to you, meticulously, everything I ask you to.
08:00Sometimes the clue is in the smallest detail.
08:12Can you believe they're not even paying us properly for this?
08:15I'm just about full of the weekly shop as it is.
08:18This blimming trial better not drag on for too long.
08:20Well, in that case, perhaps we should get started.
08:23So, um, what does everyone make of what they've heard so far?
08:29Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
08:30Ensley's guilty of sin.
08:32Oh, it's a bit early to assume that.
08:35No, it's not.
08:35I confessed.
08:36There could be a number of reasons why a person might confess to a crime they didn't commit.
08:40How would you know?
08:41I, I take an interest in murder cases.
08:46Also, my husband's a police detective inspector.
08:49So, somehow, are you cleverer than us?
08:51If a man's killed before, nine times out of ten, he'll kill again.
08:55It's not fair to judge someone just because of their past.
09:00I'm not saying Enzi's innocent, but we need to consider he might be.
09:05I still think I could have driven here.
09:14Brenda, what's the urgency?
09:16I'm sure the verdict will come soon enough, and then I'm all yours.
09:19I must go.
09:21Oh.
09:23Good morning, Sergeant.
09:24Morning.
09:25Morning, Father.
09:26Miss Palmer.
09:27What are you doing here?
09:28We are observing a murder trial, Sergeant.
09:31You?
09:31I'm testifying in one of the smaller courts.
09:34Not nearly as interesting as a murder trial, mind.
09:36Good day.
09:53I shall now read a statement given by Police Sergeant Alistair Flynn of Sirencester Police Station,
09:58who is unable to attend in person.
09:59The station telephone rang at approximately 1.30 a.m.
10:05When I answered, I heard a man in considerable pain.
10:08He gave his name as Arthur Goddard of Goddard's Pottery.
10:12He told me he'd been stabbed and asked for immediate assistance.
10:17I then heard Mr. Goddard gasp and cry out in fear.
10:23He said,
10:24David,
10:26no.
10:27After that,
10:31the line went dead.
10:43Father,
10:43are you sure you're not wrong about David?
10:46Why would Arthur have called out his name like that?
10:48I am undoubtedly fallible, Miss Palmer, but I think that Arthur's words were misleading.
11:03Pardon me for interrupting.
11:05Do you remember me?
11:06Father Brown, of course.
11:09My goodness, it's been so many years.
11:11It has indeed.
11:13A pity to meet again under such sad circumstances.
11:16I'm sorry about your father.
11:18This is Miss Palmer, my housekeeper.
11:21And this is my husband.
11:22Royce Holland.
11:23It's a pleasure to meet you both.
11:25Or think.
11:27She's, um,
11:28she is exhausted.
11:29I'm all right.
11:30It's just hard watching that brute defending himself.
11:33You believe David Ensley is guilty?
11:35Of course he is.
11:36He took advantage of my father for years.
11:38He even forced us to leave my own mother's funeral.
11:40He struck my husband.
11:42Don't, don't upset yourself.
11:43It's all in the past.
11:44Let me take you home.
11:45I'd rather be at the cottage.
11:47All right.
11:49I'll wait in the car.
11:53I've been, uh,
11:54putting my father's affairs in order.
11:56Would he comfort you if I paid you a visit later?
12:00Thank you, father.
12:01I'd, I'd like that.
12:06Did I imagine it?
12:08Or could you smell alcohol on her breath?
12:10No, you didn't imagine it.
12:12A way of coping with recent events,
12:15no doubt.
12:27I suppose you don't believe me anymore, father.
12:29No, my belief is unchanged,
12:30but I need an explanation.
12:32I met Arthur's daughter.
12:34She said you ejected her from her mother's funeral.
12:37Arthur wanted her there.
12:39Just not her husband,
12:39but he wouldn't go.
12:40I shouldn't have hit him,
12:42but Arthur was upset.
12:45They both left,
12:46but I'll never forget the look
12:49Josie gave her father.
12:50When was this?
12:52Just a few months back.
12:54So Josie's anger would still have been palpable
12:56the night her father died?
13:00There was a man in a big fancy car
13:02who wanted to buy the pottery, father.
13:05I never got his name,
13:07but I saw him in court today.
13:09Yes, I noticed him.
13:12Tell me more.
13:14Arthur wasn't interested in selling,
13:16but the man kept coming back.
13:18With cigars and bottles of whiskey,
13:21that sort of thing.
13:23And that didn't work.
13:24He sent two men to try and lean on Arthur.
13:29But I put an end to that.
13:30So Arthur came to depend on you.
13:35Why did he sack you?
13:37Arthur wanted himself that day.
13:39Said I'd made a mistake with some tiles in kiln
13:41and it cost us a day's takings.
13:44I said it weren't me,
13:45but he called me a liar.
13:49Paid me off and told me to go.
13:50But I knew something was wrong.
13:55So I went back later that night.
13:58Send someone.
14:00Quickly.
14:02David!
14:04No!
14:06Arthur, what happened?
14:11Who did this?
14:12No time.
14:14Police coming.
14:15You'll be blamed.
14:17You don't care about that.
14:18Tell me who did it.
14:19Use that money I gave you.
14:22Get away.
14:24I'm not leaving you.
14:25Please, David, run.
14:28Promise me.
14:38He fired you to protect you.
14:43I think he knew he was going to die.
14:48I could have sworn I'd bought some biscuits,
15:12but there were none in the cupboard.
15:13It's these pills I take from my nerves.
15:17They make me forgetful.
15:19Tea is ample, Mrs. Holland.
15:22Please, call me Josie, like before.
15:25I'm sorry things had become difficult with your father, Josie.
15:29Well, he never forgave me for eloping with Royce when I was 16.
15:33I must say, you were rather young.
15:36I was old enough to know my mind.
15:39My father always blamed Royce.
15:41Daddy always thought he knew best.
15:44You still seem angry with him.
15:46Can you blame me?
15:48I was his child, and he loved some stranger more than me.
15:52I'm sure that's not true.
15:53Isn't it?
15:55Well, he left everything to David.
15:57I mean, I get my mother's personal things, of course,
15:59but David gets the house, the factory.
16:04Now do you see why I think he's guilty, Father?
16:06I agree.
16:07An inheritance can be a strong motive.
16:11Of course, if David Ensley is hanged,
16:14it will all revert to you.
16:16And you think I'd want it now,
16:18after what's happened here?
16:19Do you recall where you were the night your father died?
16:27I think Royce was having a sing-song in the pub.
16:30I must confess, I'd had a few gins,
16:32which doesn't mix well with my pills,
16:33so I went upstairs to bed.
16:35You live above a pub?
16:37Royce owns the Raven Tavern.
16:38It's a family business.
16:44You know, I used to help my dad in the workshop.
16:46You taught me everything I needed to know
16:50to run this place someday.
16:53As well as it just wasn't meant to be.
16:57Mr. Holland, would you describe for the jury
17:00the events that took place at your mother-in-law's funeral?
17:03What do you think motivated Mr. Ensley's aggression that day?
17:07Well, I believe a reconciliation between Josie
17:09and her father was possible.
17:11But Mr. Ensley was determined
17:13to prevent that from happening.
17:16So Arthur would keep him in the will.
17:18But I didn't know about any inheritance
17:20still a week ago.
17:20Mr. Ensley!
17:21Some solicitor told me
17:22he's making Josie contest it.
17:24He just runs outland himself!
17:26Mr. Ensley, any further outbursts
17:28and I'll have you removed to the cells.
17:30I'd like to answer that,
17:31if I may.
17:33Yeah.
17:33My wife deserved better from her father.
17:43And if we have to fight to get back
17:46what's rightfully hers,
17:48well, I make no apology.
17:51Oh, hello again.
18:02What can I do for you?
18:04I was hoping for a favour, actually,
18:06if you wouldn't mind.
18:07But it needs to be kept between us.
18:10Go on.
18:11Mrs. S has been teaching us how to drive,
18:13but she's been really busy with the trial.
18:15And between you and me, she shouts a lot,
18:16so I thought maybe you could do it.
18:18I've got a test booked,
18:20but I haven't told anyone in case I fail.
18:23I finish work at six.
18:25Oh, thanks, Sergeant.
18:33Hello.
18:33Came off a place.
18:38Where was this exactly?
18:43Sir.
18:44Someone's reported an abandoned car.
18:47And?
18:47And there was blood in it.
18:49Lots of blood, sir.
18:52Right.
19:02The address?
19:08Hello, Father.
19:10Oh, it's good to see you.
19:12What can I get you?
19:13Nothing for me, thank you.
19:15Just a moment of your time, please, Mr. Holland.
19:17Of course.
19:21I heard your testimony this morning,
19:23and I must admit it puzzled me.
19:26Why contest Arthur's will?
19:28If David Ensley is condemned,
19:30there will be no need for litigation.
19:32We were told that the estate could be tied up
19:34for months that way.
19:36Perhaps.
19:37But what's the hurry?
19:39For the sake of transparency,
19:41I've, um...
19:42I've run up a few debts on the horses.
19:48Easily done.
19:49So, you know, as it happens,
19:52somebody wants to buy the pottery
19:54and says he's willing to pay more for a quick sale.
19:58His name's Blakely.
19:59Of Blakely Manufacturing?
20:02Yes.
20:03I was surprised to see him at the trial,
20:05but then I suppose the outcome is of interest to him.
20:07And I meant what I said.
20:08Josie has a right to the sale of that land,
20:12and it will more than cover my debts.
20:16Though, of course, I'll come clean
20:18once it's all settled.
20:19You haven't told her yet?
20:23No.
20:24She's barely coping, as it is.
20:27Hmm.
20:28She does seem very fragile.
20:31She said she took sedatives
20:33the night her father died and went to bed.
20:35Where were you?
20:37I was here.
20:38Working.
20:39And then I went upstairs and joined her.
20:44Look, Father, I can see why you're suspicious.
20:47Josie, she was young when we met,
20:49but we couldn't help falling in love.
20:51It's just a shame that her father
20:53never respected that.
20:55I always found Arthur to be a fair man.
20:58Well, you can't always see the signs
21:01from the outside.
21:03Believe me, he controlled Josie
21:05until I helped her escape from that house.
21:19Looks like it's been here for several weeks.
21:28Yeah.
21:29Do you think whoever owns it was murdered, sir?
21:30This was found empty
21:36at the scene of Mr. Goddard's murder.
21:39Mr. Ensley's fingerprints were on it,
21:41and according to the logbook,
21:43the exact amount of missing cash
21:44was later found on his person.
21:48I put it to you
21:50that Mr. Ensley returned after dark
21:54and was caught stealing from Mr. Goddard,
21:58which is why he attacked him.
22:00That's not who I am.
22:01Mr. Ensley, I will not warn you again.
22:03You must not interrupt.
22:05You're going to throw me in sales,
22:06but please let me say this.
22:08I know what I was,
22:09but Arthur showed me a better way.
22:11Your Honor, Mr. Ensley,
22:11he's not in the witness box.
22:13I loved him like a father.
22:17No punishment can be worse than knowing
22:19I'll never see him again.
22:20Apart from Bonnie,
22:30can anyone here genuinely say
22:32the prosecution's proven their case
22:34beyond a reasonable doubt?
22:37Mr. Sharp claims
22:38the inheritance was Ensley's motive,
22:41so why would he steal the petty cash
22:42and make a run for it?
22:43It makes no sense.
22:44You're the only one
22:45who thinks he could be innocent.
22:47The verdict has to be unanimous.
22:50So when the time comes,
22:52you better vote with us.
22:53I will not be bullied.
22:55Not if a man's life
22:57hangs in the balance.
23:03Can I tempt you, Father?
23:05They're imported.
23:07Exceptional quality.
23:09Er, no.
23:10No, thank you.
23:11Not one of my vices.
23:13Ah.
23:14So, er,
23:15what's this visit in aid of?
23:18Well,
23:18I come out of concern
23:19for Mrs. Holland.
23:22I know you tried to buy
23:23her father's pottery
23:24before he died,
23:25and I would hate
23:26for her to be taken advantage of
23:28in her present distress.
23:30That's why I'm dealing
23:31with the husband.
23:32Yes,
23:32but some might say
23:33that your recent offer
23:34was a little premature.
23:35I'm a businessman.
23:40Why wait
23:41to be beaten to it?
23:42Besides,
23:43it's a generous offer.
23:45But why buy it at all,
23:47if I may ask?
23:49You already own
23:50a successful pottery business.
23:52It's called capitalism,
23:54Father.
23:55The Goddard's land
23:56has a higher quality of clay,
23:58but the old man
23:59was selling it for less.
24:01I was sick of being undercut.
24:02So you attempted
24:04to persuade him to sell?
24:07Once or twice.
24:09Sent my men round
24:10to negotiate,
24:11but that thug of his
24:12came at them
24:12with a pickaxe.
24:14How disturbing.
24:15I presume you reported
24:18this incident
24:19to the police at the time?
24:23Hmm.
24:24We let it lie.
24:26Suggesting David
24:27Ensley acted
24:28in Arthur's defence?
24:30You can suggest
24:31what he liked.
24:32Father.
24:33Ensley is the one
24:34in the dock.
24:35And for what I can see,
24:36it's not going
24:37very well for him.
24:39Hmm.
24:39Is it?
24:40The number plate's
24:45registered to, uh,
24:46Lester Helms
24:47from Warwickshire, sir.
24:48His wife reported him
24:49missing a couple
24:49of months back.
24:51She gave me this
24:52to help us find him.
24:55If we ever do find him.
24:57Good night, Sergeant.
24:59Good night, sir.
25:03Ready?
25:03Ready?
25:08Yeah.
25:10Yeah.
25:10Right.
25:12You're nice, huh?
25:14I've got to go.
25:16Oh,
25:16about before.
25:18I'm sorry for my turn.
25:19I hope we can't...
25:20I'm sorry, too.
25:21I'll see you tomorrow.
25:26Right, then.
25:27You don't mind us
25:28using this, do you?
25:29Um, no.
25:30As long as you don't
25:31lock me in the back
25:32like you did
25:32the first time we met.
25:33Ah.
25:35Well,
25:35Mrs Sullivan's taught you
25:36all the basics, I expect.
25:39Yeah.
25:40Um,
25:40I know how to start
25:41and stop.
25:42It's just everything
25:43in between.
25:44All right.
25:44Let's see how you do.
25:45Okay.
25:48Okay.
25:49You're doing well.
25:50I'll never pass that test,
26:02will I?
26:04Of course you will.
26:18You just need to believe
26:18in yourself.
26:19That and slow down.
26:21It's not a rocket ship,
26:22you know.
26:23Let's try again tomorrow
26:24at 6am.
26:25Okay.
26:25Thanks for giving me a lift,
26:32Sergeant.
26:33No problem.
26:35Mrs S,
26:35you all right?
26:39Father,
26:40I think there's something wrong.
26:42Mrs Sullivan?
26:43I'm fine.
26:49I'm just nervous
26:50about the verdict tomorrow.
26:53What am I doing here?
26:54I should go home.
26:55Good night.
26:56Murder trial
27:03ends today.
27:09Molly,
27:10can I talk to you?
27:10Why?
27:11We talk all blimmin' down.
27:12Someone came at me last night.
27:14He seemed to know
27:15that I've been speaking up
27:16for Endsley.
27:17Was that you?
27:17That telephone call you made?
27:19Don't know what you're talking about.
27:20He's bribing you,
27:21isn't he?
27:22I've got no proof.
27:23He's waiting to kill my husband.
27:26You'd better do
27:26what he says then,
27:27aren't you, love?
27:28How can I?
27:29He wants me to make sure
27:30Endsley's found guilty,
27:32which means he must be innocent.
27:34So what?
27:36You're going to risk
27:36your husband's life
27:37for some jailbird.
27:39Just keep your mouth shut.
27:48The inspector will be back
27:49in a minute, Father.
27:50Who is Lester Helms?
27:54A notorious smuggler,
27:55as it turns out.
27:56Known for knocking off
27:57items of luxury
27:58shipped into Bristol Port.
27:59He's been missing
28:00for two months.
28:02Murdered, presumably.
28:03That would be our guess.
28:04Although his operation
28:05hasn't ended.
28:06If anything,
28:06it's increased recently.
28:08Suggesting the killer
28:09stepped into the dead man's shoes.
28:11Exactly.
28:12But with no body found,
28:14we are out of Leeds.
28:16Ah, Father.
28:19To what do we owe the pleasure?
28:20Oh, I'm here about
28:22Mrs Sullivan.
28:23Oh, really?
28:24What about her?
28:26I saw her yesterday evening.
28:28She seemed unsettled.
28:29Something about the verdict.
28:31Has she spoken to you at all?
28:32No.
28:33About the trial?
28:34No, never.
28:35She went to bed.
28:36Left early this morning.
28:38Is there something
28:38I should be worried about?
28:41Well, probably nothing.
28:44Passing judgment
28:45is bound to weigh
28:46heavily on anyone.
28:47That jury's got it
29:02in for me, Father.
29:04I know it.
29:05Take courage,
29:07Mr Inslee.
29:08There is still time.
29:10Now, tell me more
29:10about the businessman
29:11who tried to bribe Arthur
29:13with cigars and whiskey.
29:14I ask because
29:16it's possible
29:17he's a smuggler.
29:19I wouldn't know
29:19about that, Father.
29:21But I can believe
29:22he's a crook.
29:23There are too many
29:24cents smashed up
29:25a batch of tiles.
29:26We lost a week's work.
29:28The day Arthur
29:29sacked you,
29:30he said you had
29:30cost him takings
29:31because of a mistake
29:32in the kiln.
29:33What mistake?
29:34A batch of tiles
29:35have been fired twice.
29:38Twice?
29:38Odd.
29:45The works
29:46are locked up.
29:48How can I get in?
29:50There's a key
29:51hidden behind
29:51a loose brick
29:52in factory wall.
29:54Good.
29:55Good.
29:55What are you looking
30:10for, Father?
30:12Something
30:13that shouldn't
30:13be in a pottery kiln.
30:14Here we are.
30:36No time to explain.
30:38We need to hurry,
30:40Miss Palmer.
30:40Ladies and gentlemen,
30:42I urge you to come
30:43to the only
30:43natural conclusion
30:45that David Ensley
30:46murdered his employer
30:47on that fateful night
30:48and must face
30:49the full consequence
30:50of the law.
30:54The crown rests,
30:55Your Honor.
30:58Mr. Ensley,
31:00you may begin
31:00your closing statement.
31:07Why the cellar,
31:08Father?
31:10Because there is
31:11something
31:12I need to investigate.
31:14If there's any trouble,
31:16go to the telephone
31:18box on the corner
31:19and call
31:20Inspector Sullivan.
31:21I will.
31:29Be careful, Father.
31:30You can't be in here,
31:42Father.
31:46Josie,
31:47I expected you
31:49to be in court
31:50to hear the verdict.
31:51I'm not feeling
31:52well today.
31:54Or perhaps you
31:54don't have the stomach
31:55to see an innocent
31:56man condemned.
31:57Why would you
31:58say that?
31:59Because
32:00I found
32:02this
32:03in your father's
32:04kiln.
32:05It's a gold tooth.
32:06It belongs to
32:07the rival smuggler
32:08your husband killed.
32:11I don't know
32:12what you're talking about.
32:14I think you do.
32:18Your husband
32:19persuaded you
32:20to help him
32:22get rid of the evidence
32:23by incinerating
32:25the body.
32:26Which would have
32:27been the perfect crime
32:28if your father
32:30hadn't caught
32:30both of you
32:31in the act.
32:35Are you sure
32:36you're not awake
32:36this thing?
32:39Josie?
32:41Dad,
32:41I...
32:42I...
32:42I thought you'd be asleep.
32:44I saw the light
32:45on in here.
32:47Is this what
32:48you've become?
32:50No,
32:50no,
32:51Daddy,
32:51it's...
32:52it's not what you think.
32:53That man,
32:53he tried to kill Royce
32:55and he had to
32:55defend himself.
33:00Please don't tell the police.
33:02Please.
33:04Just let us leave
33:05and you'll never
33:06hear from us again.
33:10I won't tell anyone.
33:13Arthur would have
33:23kept his word.
33:25He loved you
33:25too much
33:26to turn you in.
33:28But your husband
33:29couldn't risk that.
33:32So he murdered him.
33:35No.
33:36No,
33:37when we left
33:37my father
33:38was still alive.
33:40It was David
33:41he killed him
33:42to get the
33:42inheritance.
33:43The very next night
33:45after your father
33:47had witnessed
33:47the cremation.
33:50How fortuitous
33:52for Mr. Holland.
33:54Perhaps you cling
33:55to this fantasy
33:56because the truth
33:57is too much to bear.
33:59A truth your father
34:01tried in vain
34:02to make you see
34:03that your husband
34:04is capable
34:05of evil.
34:07You're wrong.
34:08He's a good man.
34:10Look,
34:11Josie,
34:13contraband.
34:16Royce didn't
34:17kill Lester
34:18in self-defense.
34:19He killed him
34:20because he got
34:21in his way
34:22as did your father.
34:25Royce would never
34:26do that to me.
34:27He loves me.
34:28He only loves himself.
34:31Which is why
34:31he starved you
34:32of your family's love.
34:35Josie?
34:36Josie,
34:37are you down there?
34:39Time to make
34:40a choice,
34:41Josie.
34:43A choice your father
34:44longed for you
34:45to make.
34:46Otherwise,
34:46the guilt
34:47which torments
34:47you will deepen.
34:50Josie?
34:51Please,
34:52Walter,
34:52you have to go.
34:52I am not leaving
34:53without you.
34:56Come with me now
34:57and tell the court
34:58and the police
34:59of your husband's guilt.
35:01I can't.
35:02You must.
35:03God will not
35:05absolve you
35:06of your sins
35:07unless you
35:08face them.
35:11Ah.
35:13If you break in here,
35:15what kind of a priest
35:17are you,
35:18Father Brown?
35:20A curious one.
35:21Didn't you hear me
35:22calling you,
35:23Josie?
35:24Oh.
35:26What's he said to you?
35:28You're trembling,
35:30my poor darling.
35:30Here.
35:33It's time
35:33to take your pills.
35:35He's trying to keep
35:36you weak, Josie.
35:38You need to find
35:39your strength.
35:40Take them
35:41and go upstairs.
35:43They will announce
35:44the verdict soon.
35:46David's fate
35:47is in your hands.
35:49Now.
35:50Now.
35:50Come on.
36:20Inspector Sullivan's on his way.
36:23Is there still time to get to the court?
36:25Well, that's Royce's, but I can't drive.
36:27I can.
36:31You're safe! Open the door!
36:33You're a credit for the rest of your life!
36:36Arthur gave me that money earlier in the day.
36:39I think he wanted me to leave because he was scared.
36:44Still won't.
36:47I only wanted to help him.
36:51That's why I went back that night.
36:54And found him dying.
37:02That's all I have to say.
37:04Thank you, Mr. Hensley. You may be seated.
37:09I shall now sum up the case.
37:20Miss Palmer, could we possibly go a little faster?
37:24Safety first, Father.
37:34The jury may now retire to start your deliberations.
37:37Come on.
37:56I can't.
37:57I can't.
37:57Your Honour, I have something to say.
38:01Don't be stupid.
38:02I can't be a part of this.
38:04Something wrong?
38:05Yes, Your Honour.
38:07Very.
38:10Last night, I had stopped the trial!
38:13What is the meaning of this?
38:14Forgive us, Your Honour.
38:15We have crucial information.
38:16We have already concluded our closing statements.
38:19Any evidence you may have may be submitted on appeal, if indeed one is granted.
38:24Please let me testify, Your Honour.
38:27Arthur was my father, and I know who killed him.
38:29It was my husband.
38:42If we hadn't gone to the factory that night, my father would still be alive.
38:48Mrs. Holland, are you saying that you knew all this time that your husband returned later to kill your father?
38:55No, Your Honour, I think I just didn't want to believe it.
39:06I'm so sorry.
39:09I've let so many people down.
39:12I've let my parents down.
39:14I know I broke my father's heart.
39:16Arthur loved you.
39:17To the end.
39:18In light of this testimony, I hereby declare a mistrust.
