00:00The prosecutors who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:12An hour, maybe two, 43 years of marriage, it's not a lot to ask.
00:24Well, the longer we argue about it, the longer I'll be.
00:30That's it.
00:49Old Geezer who dug it up got quite a shock.
00:52He's drinking tea with four sugars in it while Uniform get his statement.
00:57Did you ever have a male detector?
00:59A pogo stick?
01:01The metal detector kids were the nerds.
01:03Always fancy one, but the first Mrs Brooks
01:06recognized enough crap without going looking for it.
01:13What you got, Joy?
01:15Male corpse, face down,
01:18wrapped in the remnants of a sheep.
01:20Decomposition's pretty much complete.
01:22Mostly a skeleton.
01:24Some remains of clothing and footwear.
01:27Oh, and a Swiss watch. Still ticking.
01:34Must be what set the detector off.
01:36How long's you been here, Joy?
01:38Rough guess. Under ten years, over two.
01:42Any other clues as to his ID?
01:44Nope. Even his mouth's empty,
01:46shattered round the sockets,
01:48like his teeth had been smashed out.
01:50So we've got no chance of finding out who it is.
01:53No sign of him here.
01:54Killer knew what they were doing.
01:56So how was he killed?
01:58Single bullet to the back of the skull.
02:00Entry wound just above the cervical vertebrae.
02:04There's the bullet.
02:06Right.
02:07One shot, back of the head.
02:09Very professional.
02:10Well, it's not a crime of passion.
02:13It's an assassination.
02:14It's an assassination.
02:16It's an assassination.
02:17One shot.
02:18It counts.
02:19айтесь under the external construction.

31:07when david found out luke had embezzled that much money he went ballistic left messages came
31:21round to the house how did mr slade say he was going to fix the problem
31:26when i asked he just smiled luke could be cold and cruel he loved to play games with people

33:16luke said that after he'd done it he got really nervous because he was worried that newman might
33:26squeal if he was put under any pressure so he moved the body out to the east end near
33:31the river that way if newman did say anything then it wouldn't matter
33:35oh danny
33:42danny boy
33:45mr slade
33:47questions
33:49not songs
33:50of course my lord sorry
33:53when we shared a cell together did you ever give evidence in a court case
33:59yeah yeah i did i turned qe why thought i'd get a transfer
34:08and is it true you were found to have given false evidence
34:14lied essentially and were later convicted of perjury
34:19what can i say sleary got me there
34:28remind me who's the qualified barrister and who's the novice the charging officer never
34:42logged doryl's perjury charge on the pnc system i'm not losing this trial because of some
34:47administrative balls no you're losing because your witnesses are an aggrieved ex-lover and a
34:52convicted perjurer slaves running rings around you in there thanks for your support george
34:57and maybe when they find slave innocent i'll offer him your job you do that both of you stop
35:03it was one bad day we keep going together yes
35:08the last time i saw david akroyd
35:25he was very drunk
35:27very
35:30very much alive
35:34and heading to mexico for a holiday
35:38i have no further questions for myself
35:44have you ever put a note in your diary to kill anyone other than david akroyd it was a joke
36:04i was annoyed
36:05if i was really gonna kill him why would i write it down if you didn't kill david akroyd how do you
36:13explain the dirt from chelsea in the back of the car you were using i was buying a new build flat in
36:19chelsea the developer took me around the site and i changed my shoes after the visit except the exact
36:26same dirt was found on the remains of mr akroyd's body
36:31fibres from the sheet in which mr akroyd's body was wrapped were also found in the back of that car
36:38weren't they mr slade
36:40fibres from a range of mass-produced cotton sheets sold in debenhams
36:44200 000 sets sold each year
36:47elena had a set didn't you darling
36:50and with all due respect mr steel that kind of dirt must be present in most of southwest london
36:58if geology and debenhams are your best arguments
37:04i think you may be floundering
37:07luke slade wants you to think he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice
37:18the only victim in this case is david akroyd
37:26don't fall for luke slade's lies
37:31keep to the evidence and find luke slade guilty of david akroyd's murder
37:40first they convicted me of cutting david akroyd's throat
37:47he was killed by a bullet in the head
37:50then they claimed i'd buried him in chelsea he was found by canary wharf
37:55and what did they offer as proof
37:57perjured evidence from a proven liar
38:01people assume that if you're charged with a crime you must be guilty
38:07assumptions like that took my life away
38:13please let me live what's left of it
38:19i don't know if i can't do it
38:29i can't do it
38:31i can't do it
38:33i can't do it
38:35Good luck.
38:54Have you reached a verdict upon which you are all agreed?
39:06Yes.
39:08On the count of the murder of David Aykroyd, do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
39:17Not guilty.
39:19Oh.
39:24I've left Louise Aykroyd five messages.
39:52She's avoiding my calls.
39:55Do you have faith in me, George?
39:58I still do.
40:00Always will.
40:02Whatever happens.
40:09What does that mean?
40:12Luke Slade has lodged a formal complaint against you, alleging a vendetta.
40:18He's arguing that it amounts to gross misconduct.
40:22He won't show it to the CBS.
40:25This letter gives you one week's notification of your hearing date for gross misconduct.
40:39Tell him the rest.
40:42You're entitled to bring a friend or representative who can address the hearing and put your case.
40:48Uh, I'll be speaking for myself.
40:55We play by the rules, James.
40:57Discipline in a hearing carried out to the letter so that when it is dismissed as valueless bollocks, then he has no room to appeal.
41:05I'm sorry, pressure from above.
41:08I've got no choice.
41:11You should stay home pending the hearing.
41:14Slade won't win, James.
41:23He's done a good job so far.
41:24I'll see you when you get back.
41:45Do you mean if?
41:53Do you need a hand with that?
42:13Are you following me?
42:14Do you know what I admire about you, James?
42:19You won't ask me to retract the complaint.
42:25It must be so difficult, having the system you work for turn anew.
42:30But don't worry.
42:31I can look after Louise.
42:33If you go near her again, I will come for you.
42:37What, sir?
42:38A threat?
42:40This is the problem.
42:42You've lost all sense of what's right.
42:44You're an obsessive.
42:47Let it go, James.
42:50What were his last words?
42:53This man that you loved so much.
42:57Did he beg you for mercy?
42:59Or didn't he even know it was you who shot him from behind?
43:03How many bodies must be buried in London?
43:08This city was built on corpses.
43:11Why does this one matter so much to you?
43:14They all matter.
43:19You really mean that?
43:22God!
43:24How do you manage?
43:27Living with that conscience, does it keep you awake?
43:30I mean, literally, does it?
43:31You're not more than yours must.
43:36And we're not the same.
43:39You're an obsessed, discredited man out in his own
43:43while I'm rehabilitated into society.
43:47For a while, you were the only person who got the better of me.
43:55Couldn't let that stand.
43:56You think my complaint won't stick?
44:08I'm not a beginner.
44:11Goodbye, James.
44:12James, you shouldn't be talking to him.
44:38I didn't have a choice.
44:41He was just suddenly there.
44:44It doesn't matter.
44:45You must not be seen with him.
44:50None of this would have happened if Richie Newman hadn't disappeared.
44:54Why can't they find him?
44:55There's no charges on his credit card since the day he vanished.
44:59No cash withdrawals, here or in Thailand.
45:03Slade must have had something to do with his disappearance.
45:09He wouldn't be so stupid as to do anything himself.
45:12What?
45:20Nine years in prison.
45:23He'd know plenty of people who could.
45:29What if we dig out Slade's prison record?
45:35See if there's anything interesting on it.
45:38When you say, we?
45:39I mean, we.
45:49If George hears I let you in, he'll go mental.
45:53Just visiting a friend.
45:57Okay.
45:59So, Slade's prison file is mostly just a record of his parole hearings.
46:05All denied.
46:06All denied.
46:06Oh, wait.
46:11It says here that Slade was involved in a complaint against a prison officer.
46:16What do you mean, involved?
46:18Well, he filed a complaint, but it was on behalf of another prisoner.
46:23He said to me in the street that he wasn't a beginner at this,
46:27that he'd filed complaints before.
46:29Who was it for?
46:33Danny Doyle.
46:36Slade's been ahead of us the whole time.
46:39Then maybe our luck just turned.
46:46What are friends for?
46:47God save me from gala performances with the Home Secretary.
46:58George, before you say anything...
47:00I'm still at the Royal Opera House.
47:03Switch the lights off when you leave.
47:05Should you be here?
47:14I'm just another prison visitor, Danny.
47:18Seeing an old friend.
47:20He's getting to you, isn't he?
47:22Does that?
47:22You know what gets to me more?
47:28The thought of someone helping a murderer go free.
47:31Oh, now, look, come on.
47:32You knew Slade was aware.
47:34You'd been convicted for perjury.
47:36So whatever you said in court wouldn't be admissible.
47:39I'm not being funny, but, um, I'm a con.
47:42I'm in prison.
47:44We're not known for telling the truth.
47:48Because I'll just water under the bridge.
47:52Not for me.
47:55I'll be at your parole board next month.
47:59I'm the one after that.
48:02I'm the one after that, reminding them of how you helped a murderer go free.
48:13What do you want?
48:16Where do I find Richard Newman?
48:22Look, I've got nothing to do with it.
48:28Parole board.
48:33Freddy Martins.
48:37Slid caught in a fever.
48:38I'm looking for Freddy Martins.
48:55Sorry, mate.
48:56I can't help you.
48:58Really?
48:58Oi, Freddy.
49:11Ronnie!
49:12Ronnie!
49:25Hello, Freddy.
49:26Guess what, Freddy?
49:44You don't have to say anything.
49:47But it may harm your defence if you do not mention something Richard lately rely on.
49:52Come on.
49:53Come on.
49:53Come on.
50:02I'll tell you what.
50:03Freddy's a professional, all right?
50:06This has got me the best place in London to hide a body.
50:10Over here.
50:10Hello Richie Newman
50:40Good morning gents
50:52Enjoying the day
50:55We're about to
51:10Seems to have been a misunderstanding
51:16Sworn statements
51:23From Danny Doyle
51:26And Freddie Martin
51:28What about
51:32We found Richie Newman
51:35How is he
51:37You're never gonna stop

51:48No it's just the end of round one
51:54I played it well
51:58Don't you think
51:59You think this is a game
52:04Everything
52:07When the officer asks
52:14You'll confess to the murders of Richie Newman
52:16And David Ackroyd
52:18Give his daughter some peace
