00:20You
00:21May I suggest some restraint restraint you mean don't throw him down the stairs
00:25You know one of these days I'm gonna get you really drunk and you're gonna tell me all about your
00:28old job
00:29I don't think
00:34Some Hague he's with the Scottish Telegraph
00:38Attended the Finch trial
00:40Every day well don't know him
00:44Yeah, married spent Thursday afternoons in a hotel room
00:48She didn't introduce us even close as you said you were we didn't discuss her personal life remember
00:56Well, we believe they were working on a corruption case together
01:00What sort of corruption and where?
01:02Something that connected Graham Finch and Kirsty Atkins
01:04Kirsty Atkins?
01:06Potential witness you wouldn't allow to testify on the Finch case
01:09And why wouldn't I?
01:11We were hoping you'd tell us
01:13I have no recollection of this
01:15Kirsty Atkins or what she may or may not have to say in the case
01:19I suggest you ask Liam Taylor
01:21We did
01:22He said to ask you
01:25We know
01:27That Kirsty told Merritt that she testified that she'd met Finch's deceased wife a year before in a woman's refuge
01:33The wife being there on account of Finch beating the living shit out of her
01:36So this will have been new and not particularly helpful information
01:40For Finch
01:41Then why wasn't she brought in?
01:43Kirsty was a prolific offender and long-term resident of Stockton Prison
01:47So not necessarily credible
01:49Well it's our understanding Merritt thought differently
01:51Soon after their conversation
01:53Kirsty was jumped
01:55So someone thought she was credible enough to try and stop her
01:57So again our question would be
02:01Why wasn't she called?
02:02Well as I have no recollection of this individual
02:04I can only comment generally and generally with an individual like that
02:07A jury just sees someone who wants to get out of prison
02:09Well in a few weeks she'll be fresh out of prison
02:12Missing an eye with several dozen scars left over from a shanking while she was in protective custody
02:16Does he ever speak?
02:18Not if I can help it
02:20And this attack would have been around the same time that you told Merritt that she couldn't use Kirsty at
02:24trial
02:25Well I have to take your word for that because once more I have no recollection of any of this
02:29But you agree?
02:31To make this happen Finch would have needed friends on the inside
02:34Huh
02:36Oh Mark
02:37You are truly as advertised out of your fucking mind
02:41Why would I ever help out someone like Graham Finch?
02:45Because he wasn't just a random husband who threw his half-pissed wife down the concrete stairs
02:49He had money
02:50He had juice
02:51Finch was a long-time wrong guy with his own long-time connections
02:55He had no need for any of my help
02:57Merritt would have come to you if she wanted to call Kirsty in the case
03:00Is there even a record of Merritt wanting to call Kirsty?
03:03I mean why are you so certain of all of this?
03:05I believe Kirsty
03:06The serial drug offender who wants out of prison
03:09I mean what about the journalist that Merritt was supposedly working with?
03:13He's dead
03:14Had a bad fall the day before Merritt disappeared
03:17Which, if you keep in school, means that's one dead, one knife
03:20One disappeared within a week after Merritt came to you
03:24With a witness who could put away Finch
03:29Okay, Morg
03:30You got me
03:33I'm owned by Graham Finch
03:36I assume he pays me in gold coins or something
03:40No sir
03:42We think you were threatened by him
03:44Indirectly
03:47Your daughter Julia
03:48She was ran off the road during the trial
03:54She in turn struck and seriously injured another man
03:57It was all very messy
04:00A father never stops thinking of all the ways that harm can
04:05Touch what he cares about
04:08For any man, this is a weakness
04:12May I ask sir, how do you know that Kirsty Atkins is a drug offender?
04:18You said so?
04:20No
04:20DCI Morg said she was a prolific offender, that's all
04:29It seems the only person who can help us prove any of this is dead
04:36Well, we are not certain that Merritt is dead
04:42You better hope she is
04:46Thank you for your time
04:47Valid
04:48Good evening
05:07With me
05:08I wasè
05:11We are not to fly
05:11I have to fly
05:17You gotta 혹시
06:47But I'm too scary.
06:49You are.
06:50Very fucking scary.
06:52Aye, fucking right, I am.
06:56I like talking to you, Rome.
06:59I can say almost anything to you.
07:01Almost?
07:01What can't you say?
07:02Give me an example.
07:03I can't give you an example.
07:04Why not?
07:05Because if I could say it to you, I'd say it.
07:08Good point.
07:14What's so funny?
07:16Lyle, what the fuck?
07:17Mum told me to tell you she needs you at home.
07:19Okay, you told me.
07:21Now fuck off.
07:22She told me to drag you out of here.
07:25Like that's going to fucking happen.
07:32Smells like sex.
07:37As if you'd know.
07:40I think you're da's here.
07:45It's okay.
07:46Just leave it.
07:52Hey Harry.
07:54You in?
07:54Nah, not today.
07:56We could have used you though.
07:58I'm retired.
08:06You're Lyle Jennings.
08:08Mr. Lingard.
08:09You're not here to burn the place down, are you?
08:11Da.
08:12No, sir.
08:13I'm just here to pick up Harry.
08:15Our ma needs him.
08:17She's awake, is she?
08:18We're just leaving.
08:19Aye.
08:24Lyle.
08:31See you tomorrow.
08:42What did I say about Harry Jennings being in the house when I'm not?
08:47He's not so bad.
08:49I'm talking to your sister.
08:51Me and Harry, we like each other.
08:54Harry and I.
08:56In fact.
08:59We love each other.
09:00Like Romeo and Juliet.
09:02Oh, whatever.
09:03He's not going to be coming back here anytime soon.
09:05You missed your brother's game.
09:07William doesn't care if we go to his stupid games, do you?
09:10If you want to.
09:10See, he doesn't care.
09:12That's not the point.
09:12What is the point then?
09:14Family?
09:18Yeah, that's what I thought.
09:22Do you mind?
09:23Do you mind?
09:23I don't know.
09:54I don't know.
10:40I don't know.
10:46I don't know.
11:12I don't know.
11:16Trained cockroach slimed all over a 17-year-old kid.
11:19It was.
11:21He was supposed to slime all over you.
11:23I'm very sorry.
11:24I have to say, though, you told up Fritz pretty good.
11:27I got the feeling Fritz enjoyed it.
11:29Aye.
11:30You made his day.
11:32You have my apology now.
11:33Is there anything else?
11:35Well, yeah.
11:39Do you mind, detective?
11:40Those are very expensive clubs.
11:42Here's the thing, Graham.
11:43You can't be tried again for the murder of your wife, so hats off there, advocate.
11:47But what I can get you for is paying for the botched hit on Kirstie Atkins.
11:54The botched what on who?
11:58That's just not.
12:00What do you say?
12:01What do you say, detective?
12:02You leave Mr. Finch to have his lunch.
12:05You have proof?
12:06I have your other paid cockroach, Ed Solomon.
12:09The one who scraped Fritz off the fucking pavement and drove him to the hospital.
12:12And who now himself is in hospital.
12:14Yeah.
12:14Told.
12:15Yeah.
12:16With a broken leg.
12:17Well, it's a good job he doesn't need his leg to talk.
12:20Quite the conversation this, Ed, is.
12:22Turns out he's got a number of texts and voicemails from you that are fucking hilarious.
12:27Hilarious if you're not you or your lawyer.
12:30Such as?
12:31Gabby says he can put you in touch with a couple of dykes at Sorton
12:35who can cut one of her fucking eyes out and make her eat it.
12:39Seeing as she was threatening to testify against you, that's both metaphoric and symbolic.
12:44Detective, I think we can end this little interview now.
12:48Now, we assume that this Gabby is a fellow traveler in your world of fuckery.
12:53But what we don't know is who told you about Kirstie in the first place?
12:57Detective Mork.
12:59Wasn't Stephen Burns by any chance, was it?
13:01Maybe right after either Ed or Fritz ran his daughter's car off the fucking motorway.
13:04If you want to talk to Mr. Finch like this, you can either make a formal charge or you can
13:10go.
13:11This is a private call for...
13:12Oh!
13:16You might want to go and pick that up.
13:18I beg your fucking pardon.
13:20You can beg all you like.
13:23Won't you go, Robbie?
13:26Promise not to admit to anything while you're away.
13:32Kirstie gets out next month.
13:35I'll send her a muffin basket.
13:36You'll forget she ever existed.
13:38Why would I do that?
13:40Because if anything happens to her, if she so much as stubs her fucking toe,
13:45I'm going to assume it was your fault and I'm going to come knocking at your door.
13:48Is that all?
13:49I'm guessing it was the same two genetic fuck-ups who visited Jasper and Kirstie,
13:52who also had a go at Fergus Dunbar, the cop who caught the Lingard case the first time around.
13:57Might have been.
13:58They do have a lot of free time.
14:00Did you have anything to do with Merit Lingard's disappearance?
14:04You found that funny?
14:05Hilarious.
14:06Why would I go after a prosecutor after I was acquitted?
14:09You were acquitted of murder.
14:10She was looking into corruption at the Crown Office with a reporter, Sam Haig,
14:13who happened to die the day before she disappeared.
14:16So she could have gotten you another way.
14:18Now that is very suspicious.
14:20Yeah.
14:20You wouldn't happen to know anything about that?
14:22No.
14:23Then I'm not in the habit of killing reporters.
14:26Just your wife.
14:29Fritz did say you appeared to be a lunatic.
14:31Oh, well, coming from Fritz, that's high praise indeed.
14:33Look, Haig was at your trial.
14:36If you say so.
14:38Aye.
14:39He was.
14:40He was also the one who told me about Kirsty Atkins.
14:44When?
14:46One day at trial.
14:49He came up to me during a break and he told me he knew she was going to testify.
14:53And that it would be quite damning.
14:56And he just offered it up?
14:57He did.
14:58Which made the information suspect.
15:01I informed Graham that were it to be true, I would file an immediate motion against it.
15:06It was my feeling that, given the woman's history, the ruling was likely to be in our favour.
15:11However, in the end, I did nothing.
15:15I didn't have to.
15:17And Graham was fine with just waiting to file a motion?
15:20I was not party to any further conversation in the matter.
15:24And if Graham had wanted to pursue a more aggressive approach, I would, of course, have reminded him that we
15:30had a very strong case without resorting to intimidation.
15:34Any idea why Haig gave you such a gift in the first place?
15:38No.
15:39No quid pro quo?
15:40None.
15:41And I assume, of course, that neither of you have the slightest thinking of what happened to Haig right after
15:45he delivered his fortuitous piece of intelligence, hmm?
15:48In my experience, Detective, if you want to stop a reporter from looking at you, the absolute worst thing you
15:56could do would be to harm that reporter.
15:59Same goes for the cops.
16:02Once you go after one of theirs, they will never leave you alone.
16:06It's not worth it.
16:09A lot of grey area there, Mr. Finch.
16:12The thing with the golf club was very amusing.
16:17Though I have to say I was most relieved when you didn't hit him with it.
16:21Oh, Jesus.
16:22Well, let's talk about me losing control and you're the one who's out there crushing windpipes and chucking people down
16:26the fucking stairs.
16:28Yes, except when I do these things, I'm never out of control.
16:32I'm very much in control.
16:43What the fuck did you do back in Syria?
16:46Come on.
16:57Are you going to answer that?
17:06Malk?
17:07Someone's fuck it with you, yeah?
17:09Who is this?
17:10Your favourite reporter, Dennis Piper.
17:13Don't hang up.
17:15I'm back to help you.
17:16Well, that's very generous of you, but I think you're a fucking rodent.
17:19I'm texting you something.
17:20Take a look at it.
17:21If you want to talk after you watch it, I'll be at the golden rule for the next hour.
17:25What the fuck are you talking about?
17:32Shall we watch?
17:37What the fuck are you talking about?
18:02What the fuck are you talking about?
18:03Oh.
18:27Hey.
18:30Hey.
18:34My tooth is infected.
18:36I need antibiotics.
18:38Better get a fucking dentist.
18:42What?
18:51I'll just die from fucking sepsis.
18:55It would be of the pleasure of doing it yourself.
18:56Sounds a bit anticlimactic.
18:59After all this time.
19:00What?
19:08What?
19:09What?
19:23What?
19:26I'd be eating or working out in the weight room.
19:29I'd be reading in the library and he'd come and sit across from me.
19:32I even caught him watching me sleep one time.
19:35I couldn't take that anymore.
19:37You messed him up pretty good.
19:39He may lose that eye.
19:43Sam, did you hear what I said?
19:46He might lose his eye.
19:49Do you feel anything?
19:51When I tell you that.
19:52Yeah.
19:53I feel good.
19:55You feel good?
19:55He wasn't ever going to leave me alone.
20:01Sam.
20:04I'm not.
20:05His fucking brother.
20:07Had to get that into his head somehow.
20:09Pound it into his head, do you mean?
20:12Are you sure there wasn't something more to it?
20:14Like more what?
20:16Like more complicated.
20:18Nah.
20:19Nah, I'm done talking.
20:23Sam.
20:25I said I'm done talking.
20:29This concludes the post-defense interview with Samuel Haig, age 17.
20:3310th of March, 2013 at 11.09am.
20:37With myself, Terry Dundee, corrections counsellor at Godhaven, HMYOI.
20:43I knew Haig better than most, which isn't saying much.
20:48Haig was fucking precious about everything.
20:51He wouldn't share sources.
20:53He wouldn't talk to anyone at the office when he even bothered to show up.
20:57But still, everyone thought he was so clever.
20:59But not you.
21:00I fucking knew the guy.
21:01I knew the reason he got on so well with people who crossed the line.
21:05He was one of them.
21:06How did you get the video?
21:07It was on his computer.
21:08Oh, you hacked Haig's computer.
21:10After he died?
21:11You say it like it doesn't make a difference.
21:13How did Haig get the video?
21:15Someone at Godhaven must have gave it to him.
21:17He'd been going back and forth to the place in the last few months before he died.
21:22Why?
21:23He was working on a story.
21:25Can we read it?
21:26Look, I've still got some standards.
21:28Oh, fuck off.
21:28You're a journalist.
21:29You do your own mother from behind.
21:31How does any of this help us in our investigation of Merit Lingard?
21:33It helps you in your investigation into who killed Sam Haig.
21:36We're not investigating Haig's death.
21:38Well, maybe he should be.
21:40Sam found this kid.
21:42The one he was talking about in the video.
21:44The one he practically scalped to death.
21:46What is this kid's name?
21:47He called him X.
21:49To protect his identity.
21:51And how does Mr. X relate to Merit Lingard?
21:53Oh, wait.
21:54It doesn't.
21:55Unless Haig got her screwed into whatever was happening with him and this kid from his past.
21:59Well, it sounds like something a crackerjack journey like you should look into.
22:02Talk to Terry Dundee.
22:05The other voice on the tape.
22:06The one talking to Sam.
22:08He's still at Godhaven.
22:10I've reached out myself, but he gave me the big fuck off about how the records are sealed.
22:14Well, this has been fascinating.
22:15Well, if you find anything, Mork, you be sure to remember me.
23:01You actually, anything else that I've left so much in.
23:02You're the only one of them.
24:37Hey.
24:38All right?
24:40What are you watching?
24:42They're just some shite.
24:44Perfect.
24:47You had this look on your face earlier.
24:51I've never seen it before, even when you're super pissed off at me.
24:54When you went after that guy, you were like this guy I didn't even know.
24:57Yeah.
25:14Okay.
25:21I'm two people.
25:23Yeah?
25:25I have to be.
25:26I see things most days that no one person can see.
25:28That no one person can handle or should ever have to see in the first place, to be honest.
25:32Like what?
25:33What's the worst thing you've ever seen?
25:34No, I'm not gonna do that to you.
25:36I'm not gonna put what's in my head into yours.
25:38I didn't do it to your mum, I'm certainly not gonna do it to you.
25:40Why not?
25:41Because you live in a different world.
25:43Yeah?
25:43There's no need for you to know the specifics of the other world beyond that it exists and
25:47that once in a blue moon something from over there crosses into here.
25:50So the guy in the ice cream shop, he knows that.
25:53He wants to scare you by showing you the other world.
25:56He wants to make you so afraid that he fucking owns you.
26:00Well, you can't go through what you did without it stirring things up.
26:04What, like, do you mean I'm gonna have nightmares and shit?
26:09Well, who knows what it'll be, but if you get taken to the point you think you're gonna die
26:13or you're around death, all of a sudden there's this menu of various and sundry shit
26:18that's just waiting to sneak up on you.
26:20Are you just trying to scare me?
26:21You're already scared.
26:23That's the whole point.
26:24You now know that things can change in an instant.
26:28You and me were members of the same club.
26:30Yeah, well, I don't want to be in that club.
26:32Yeah, well, no one joins voluntarily, fella.
26:37People spend their whole lives trying to avoid that kind of calamity.
26:42But you have to go to the meetings, you have to speak to the other members of the club
26:46so that you know you're not the only one out there who's thinking and feeling the shit
26:52that you're thinking and feeling.
26:54What, so like you and Hardy?
26:58Yeah.
26:59Like me and Hardy.
27:01And now, me and you.
27:04Wait, you...
27:06You wanna talk about it?
27:09Yeah.
27:11When you need to, sure.
27:13About what happened?
27:16About what's happening.
27:21And maybe we should start with you telling me how thoroughly pissed off you are
27:24at me ruining things with your mum.
27:28And then abandoning you when I was shot.
27:30I mean, that's not your fault.
27:33You couldn't help it.
27:35No.
27:37But you can still be mad.
27:39No, that's okay, you're allowed to be fucking mad.
27:42Maybe let's have our first meeting about that.
27:46I am here.
27:49I'm listening.
27:51Promise.
28:05Morning.
28:32Not much of a fail, is it?
28:34Police took one look at the height of that cliff and made the call right there.
28:38I'd likely have done the same myself.
28:41Injuries consistent with traumatic fall from a great height.
28:44As if there's a fall from a great height that's not traumatic.
28:46Okay, so what's your problem?
28:48Outside of the timeline and the cause of death both being very fucking dodgy.
28:52The guy who found Haig.
28:54Paul Evans.
28:54Yeah, yeah, the climber instructor.
28:56Yeah.
28:57He says he was with his wife the night before and found Haig's body in the morning
29:00when he went to take pictures for the website.
29:02Okay.
29:02But the day he found Haig's body it was pouring rain.
29:06It's Scotland.
29:07Could have been rain when he woke up, sun when he got there and a fucking blizzard when he went
29:11home.
29:11He also sent about a dozen messages to Haig's burner phone that night.
29:14A few examples.
29:17No more secrets.
29:19I think you need to get everything out in the open.
29:21This isn't about my wife.
29:23I want you to know that I see you.
29:25Are you back at the hotel?
29:27Is she still there?
29:29Hold on, hold on. Who's she?
29:31It's got to be Merit.
29:32And there was no response until the last message which said,
29:35I'm going for a climb.
29:36S.
29:38And no one followed up on any of it.
29:40Well, it was all irrelevant to Haig's death once it was deemed accidental.
29:43It's not irrelevant to Merit.
29:45Haig and Merit had been meeting up at the Prince's Garden Hotel.
29:49And Haig's editor said that he had a burner phone for security.
29:52So Evans was talking to Haig about all that stuff, about secrets and I see you and all that?
29:56What, you and Carl don't talk to each other like that?
29:58I don't talk to my wife like that.
30:00Maybe you should.
30:02Hello, Rose.
30:03How you doing, huh?
30:04You want breakfast, Mr. Grumpy Arse?
30:07I'm not hungry.
30:07What do you want to face the wee angel of darkness on an empty stomach?
30:10I'm not hungry.
30:11Suit yourself.
30:12For fuck's sake.
30:14Rose, you want anything? A cup of tea?
30:15Ah, no thanks. I've had too many cups already.
30:20Did you tell Ritesh to mow the lawn?
30:22Yeah, why?
30:23He's your carer, not your gardener.
30:24Well, the gardener needs more care than I do.
30:27Looks like shite and he's better off out there than for hovering around all the time.
30:35Angel of darkness?
30:37Physiologist who's either going to get me walking again or locked up for murder.
30:40Okay, so, tell me.
30:44If Carl already shook the tree of Paul Evans, then why are we having this conversation?
30:50Evans' story's full of holes.
30:52Yeah, it's leaky as fuck.
30:52Most probably because he doesn't want anyone to know about his special friendship with Sam Hague.
30:56Or he knows more than he's saying.
30:58About merit.
30:59Well, if you think that, then go back and pester him again.
31:02Ask him.
31:03Ask him...
31:04What he's hiding?
31:05What, just come right out and ask him?
31:07Well, why not? That's what you want to know, isn't it?
31:09Paul Evans is not going to tell me if he's hiding something.
31:12Well, there's ways to ask and there's ways not to ask, if you know what I mean.
31:17Depends on how big your balls are.
31:19I don't even have...
31:22Well, they're not that big.
31:23Wrong answer.
31:25I'm serious, Rose.
31:26If that's true, then what the fuck are you doing here?
31:31Try again.
31:35I have very big balls.
31:38There you go. That was easy.
31:42Let's me and you figure out how you're going to fuck with Paul Evans.
31:47That was so easy.
32:03You will have some weird things.
32:03You can be, the one who wins.
32:08They'll be, the one who wins.
32:14You can be, the one who wins.
32:15You can be, the one who wins.
32:17Let's go.
33:07Let's go.
33:34Let's go.
33:40Let's go.
33:42Let's go.
33:43Our soul.
33:44Let's go.
34:14Let's go.
34:44Let's go.
34:45Let's go.
34:46Let's go.
34:46Let's go.
34:53Let's go.
34:54Let's go.
34:59Let's go.
35:21Let's go.
35:51Let's go.
36:20Let's go.
36:37Let's go.
36:41Have you met Dr. Sonenberg?
36:43I have.
36:44And what did you think?
36:46She reminds me of my Aunt Enid.
36:48You know, the kind that likes to potter around the garden, making sure all the pansies are healthy, on top
36:53of all the bodies that are buried underneath.
36:56Anyway, I'm giving up on therapy, you know, I'm giving up on therapy, you know, I'm giving up on therapy,
36:59you can hardly give up on therapy, you can hardly give up on something you haven't tried.
37:01Martin, my lodger says I should pay more attention to my dreams.
37:06Honestly, I can't remember the last one I had.
37:07I think you're supposed to write them down, you can't have them. I think you're supposed to write them down.
37:10I think you're supposed to write them down. I mean, I don't have them. I don't have them. I don't
37:15have them. I don't sleep. And you don't need therapy. I need sleep. Well, they have pills and things now.
37:21Mm, they scare me.
37:25You read about people all the time, you know, waking up after a sleeping pill and they've eaten everything in
37:30the fridge, or the front door's open and the dog's got its lead on, or you wake up naked next
37:35to their ex-girlfriend in the bathroom.
37:37Why are you here, Carl?
37:41I don't know.
37:46I thought I did.
37:50But now I don't.
37:56Well, when you figure it out, you can come back and tell me.
38:03I think that's us for today.
38:17Yes.
38:18I think that's us for today.
38:29Yes.
38:29Yes.
38:45You know, I tried rock climbing once.
38:47I do Zumba now.
38:49It's fair to keep my feet on the ground.
38:51Right.
38:52What is it that brings you here, then?
38:54Oh.
38:56DC Dixon?
38:58I'm looking for Chloe Evans.
38:59Chloe.
39:00That's right.
39:01You just missed her.
39:03Are you sure?
39:04We had an appointment.
39:05I'm very sure.
39:06I'm her husband.
39:07She's gone to see her midwife.
39:09Oh.
39:11So you're Paul.
39:14OK.
39:18Um...
39:19Is there something I can help you with?
39:21No.
39:21No, I don't think so.
39:23Is this a follow-up appointment to a conversation I had with Chloe?
39:27The other day.
39:28So...
39:28What conversation?
39:30I'm sorry.
39:31I can't share any information that's been brought to her attention.
39:34Yeah, but I'm her husband.
39:35Again.
39:36I'm sorry.
39:39You let her know that I was here.
39:40And, er...
39:41Have her give me a call on this number.
39:43As soon as she can.
39:48Lovely to meet you, Paul.
39:54You should the house.
39:55Do you believe that you are saying that you make a call on this number?
39:56No.
40:09Okay.
40:10No, no, no.
40:10No, no.
40:11No, no.
40:15No, no.
40:38She told you, didn't she?
40:40You told me what, Bob?
40:41Ah!
40:43You're good right there.
40:44Is that mace?
40:45Pepper spray.
40:47I've also got a pair of brass knuckles in here.
40:49And a wee taser.
40:50You seriously think I want to hurt you?
40:52I know you don't want to get sprayed in the face.
40:54You even a real cop?
40:55I often ask myself the same question.
40:58But can I ask you about Sam Hague?
41:02Right, so Chloe did tell you about us.
41:04No, but you just did.
41:07The word us that did it.
41:09And it's totally fine, by the way.
41:11Oh, for fuck's sake, I'm not even gay.
41:14No.
41:15Of course you're not.
41:16Maybe you just wanted to experiment.
41:18I wasn't involved with Sam in any kind of sexual way.
41:21So how were you involved with Sam?
41:23When you climb, you become close.
41:25Trust is everything.
41:26I was the one person Sam felt he could say anything to.
41:29Such as?
41:30You name it.
41:31We'd get up on a cliff or a crag and...
41:35Just talk.
41:36So climbing was like therapy.
41:38And Sam trusted you with the rope and all his deep dark secrets?
41:41Yeah, that's about it.
41:42So you were lying then?
41:43When you told the other detectives that you didn't know about Sam and Merit Lingard?
41:47Because of course he would have told you.
41:49I wasn't lying.
41:50Sam never mentioned her.
41:51Come on.
41:52You think with all that sharing going on, she would have came up once or twice?
41:54Well, she didn't.
41:55And I didn't think Sam was involved with anyone back then.
41:58What about the dozen or so texts you sent two days before?
42:01The ones with the bits like,
42:02We can't leave it like this.
42:04I see you.
42:04Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
42:06We've not been drinking that night.
42:08And Sam was going on about his latest piece,
42:11saying he thought that it was going to change his life.
42:14And of course Chloe, who never liked Sam,
42:16she was always annoyed with his secrecy.
42:18She said something along the lines of,
42:19Well, that's good,
42:20because he needed to make some big fucking changes in his life
42:24or he was definitely going to die and take me with him.
42:27Then they had a big row and Sam left.
42:29And he went to the hotel?
42:30The one you mentioned in your texts.
42:32Are you at the hotel?
42:34Is she still there?
42:35I'm assuming that the she you were referring to was Merit.
42:38Why would you assume that?
42:40Because Sam and Merit had been meeting up at a hotel.
42:42And like I've told you several times now,
42:45you never mentioned her.
42:47Don't suppose you know the name of the hotel?
42:49Of course I do.
42:50It's up the road from us.
42:51It's called the Spivy Inn.
42:52The Spivy Inn?
42:53Aye.
42:55Really?
42:55And you're sure that's where he was?
42:58Yeah, very sure.
43:01And he wasn't with a woman?
43:04I didn't say that.
43:10It's not about Chloe.
43:12Is she still there?
43:14Oh, fuck me.
43:16I sent her back to apologise.
43:18Chloe went to see Sam?
43:20Aye.
43:20Alone?
43:21Well, I was too pissed to go anywhere.
43:23And did she apologise?
43:26Yeah, in a manner of speaking.
43:28What manner would that be?
43:30Well, like I said, we'd all been drinking.
43:38But I thought you said that she didn't even like him.
43:41Sometimes it makes it better.
43:44Why didn't you tell all of this to the police back then?
43:46Because it was a one-time thing.
43:47Are you sure?
43:48I didn't kill Sam Haig.
43:49No one said you did, but come on, did you kill Sam Haig?
43:53Of course not.
43:54I mean, he shagged your wife.
43:55Yeah, thank you.
43:57But I didn't know about that then.
43:59I was just worried because he wasn't responding to my texts.
44:02At least not until the last one he sent.
44:04No one said he was going for a climb.
44:11If you want to speak to me, or my wife again, call our lawyer.
44:29Good morning, Mayor.
44:32It's rubbish day.
44:34My favourite day of the month.
45:31Oh, just take your own sweet time.
45:34You and I live in your own shit for another month.
45:37That's fine by me.
