00:00...who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:11No, I can't come up. I've come really late.
00:15Anyway, it's over. We agree.
00:18I just wanted to hear your voice.
00:23Are you spying on me? Huh?
00:26Are you checking me out?
00:30Oh, my God.
00:32Oh, my God.
00:33Oh, my God.
00:34Oh, my God.
00:39You need to call an ambulance.
00:41What?
00:42Go ahead.
00:44Go ahead.
00:46Go ahead.
00:47Call an ambulance.
00:49Please.
00:50Someone help.
00:52Call an ambulance. Someone please. My friend's dying.
00:56Oh, my God.
00:57Oh, my God.
00:59Oh, my God.
01:00Call an ambulance.
01:01Go.
01:02Go.
01:08Multiple skull fractures, intracranial hemorrhages, to broken legs, to shattered kneecaps.
01:15The homeless are an easy target.
01:20Who are you, son?
01:23What's your story?
01:24What's your story?

02:03No.
02:04No.
02:05No.
02:06No.
02:07Several blows to the head and legs, a lot of blood loss.
02:29It was a pretty vicious attack.
02:31You knew sure?
02:32I'm certain.
02:33You knew my name?
02:34That's right, I did.
02:35Okay, thank you.
02:36Ronnie!
02:37Yeah, victim's name is Roland Kirk, and Sokho found a weapon in the bushes just here.
02:43Oh, I'm bar.
02:44Covered in hair, blood.
02:46Nice.
02:47Right, I'm sorry, he sleeps rough here, does he?
02:49Not all the time.
02:51If you come this way, gentlemen, I'll show you.
02:53You see this van here?
02:55That's his home from home.
02:57His home from home?
02:58That's right.
02:59What's wrong with him?
03:00He suffers from manic depression, has huge mood swings, he's bipolar.
03:04When he's not here, he's on the Royal Hope Psychiatric Committee.
03:08So who found Kirk?
03:09A local boy.
03:10His parents live here in Street Square.
03:12All right, there?
03:23Hello, son.
03:24Who are you?
03:25This is Nate Morgan.
03:27He and Kirk hang out together.
03:30Nate, seriously.
03:31Why are you dawsoning here when you've got a perfectly nice house over the road?
03:35Oh, I don't know.
03:37It's not that shabby, is it?
03:38Well, it's a lot better than his place.
03:42Why don't you come with us, Nate, eh?
03:45Take you down the station, have a nice cup of tea.
03:49Roland's my friend.
03:50I do things for him.
03:55I run errands.
03:58Like, er...
04:08Roland Kirk's repeat prescription.
04:12Yeah, I'll get him his, er, lithium.
04:14For his depression.
04:16Why?
04:17Oh, he doesn't really like to leave the square, no?
04:28Is he all right?
04:30He's in a coma.
04:33Two broken legs and a fractured skull.
04:39We just had a row, man.
04:41I was, I...
04:42I was bringing him a kebab.
04:47To say...
04:48Sorry to him, you know, when I found him.
04:53Why are you sleeping in his van when your mum and dad live across the square?
04:59Er...
05:00I don't really care about me.
05:06No.
05:07So what do you think, then?
05:08CCTV puts Nate leaving the kebab shop on the high street at 3.03 a.m.
05:16There was a wrapped kebab found by Kirk's body.
05:20What about the cameras on the square?
05:22They're all refocused onto the residence houses away from the gardens.
05:26So what, this was organised by someone?
05:30No.
05:30Roland Kirk did it himself with his little helper, Nate.
05:34Right.
05:35Well, Kirk's definitely got some previous, that's for sure.
05:39Mostly harassment.
05:40Bit of criminal damage.
05:42Maybe he started one with the wrong person.
05:44They followed him home.
05:45Well, he said that Nate says Kirk never leaves the square.
05:49Apart from when he goes to hospital for his manic depression,
05:54which happens on a regular basis.
05:56Well, maybe he's made some enemies there, then.
05:59Talk to the psychiatrist.
06:07Roland Kirk.
06:11We diagnosed him as bipolar, prescribed medication,
06:14and sent him out with a clear rehabilitation plan.
06:19Six months later, he was back.
06:21A revolving door of mental health.
06:24We sought him out,
06:26restore the chemical imbalance in his brain,
06:29and release him.
06:31He heads out,
06:33flushes his lithium down the loo.
06:35His mind starts racing,
06:36he loses control,
06:38breaks the law,
06:39gets sent back to us.
06:41Never-ending pattern.
06:45There's no real place for him anywhere.
06:47No sympathy either.
06:49He's an emotional refugee,
06:53at odds with the world.
06:55Tell me, did he ever make any enemies
06:57amongst the other patients
06:59in all the times that he's been in here?
07:01No.
07:02He's quiet in here.
07:04His illness is under control.
07:06Does anyone ever visit him?
07:09But his sister always visits.
07:10Oh, God, is he going to be all right?
07:17Well, he is still unconscious.
07:20But he will wake up.
07:25Well, who did this?
07:26People think, you know,
07:32he's some kind of tramp,
07:33but he's not.
07:34He's just ill.
07:35And all these experts he sees,
07:37no-one can help him.
07:38Well, how long has he suffered
07:42from manic depression?
07:44Uh, since he was 18.
07:47And he used to visit all the time.
07:50And then one night,
07:52he took my five-year-old up onto the roof
07:55to look at the stars.
07:56Well, we, you know,
08:00we couldn't have him in the house after that.
08:02I can't say I blame you.
08:04Yeah, he's not a psychopath.
08:06He's just my daft big brother
08:09that used to take me go-karting,
08:11and I still love him.
08:12When was the last time you spoke to him, Sharon?
08:15Um, about a year ago.
08:20He seemed okay.
08:22He's fine.
08:23He said that some family in the square
08:25were looking after him.
08:29Don't you know who they were?
08:31No, I don't know, no.
08:33Well, they've obviously turned their backs on him.
08:39Like I did.
08:45I'm sorry.
08:45I should be with him.
08:46I'm sorry.
08:51Okay.
08:53Let's talk to the residents of the square.
08:55Start with the lady that found me.
09:00I've been having cocktails
09:01at a bar up in Soho with my mates.
09:04The taxi dropped me off the corner after three.
09:07I was walking past the park,
09:09and Nate crashed into me.
09:11You know, he freaks me out.
09:13He's always staring at me when I do yoga.
09:15Oh, she does do it by the window.
09:18Being part of a flat with any light.
09:21It's like living in a cave.
09:23Pretty expensive cave.
09:26And going down in value by the minute.
09:29How long have you lived here?
09:31Two months.
09:33Got a small inheritance.
09:35We're trying for a baby.
09:37The park swung it for us, really.
09:40If his state agent didn't mention the resident madman.
09:43Oh, you can't have been too happy about that.
09:46Well, he moved here to get away from this kind of thing.
09:51Kelly, did you see anyone other than Nate?
09:54Uh, Patrick.
09:55Patrick Orsey from the CAF.
09:58He came out just before Joe.
10:00I just heard Nate screaming.
10:07But you didn't hear anything before that?
10:10No.
10:11I was asleep.
10:13I have to be up early.
10:15I'm a mature medical student and part-time courier.
10:19I waited up until two,
10:21when Kelly was meant to be home.
10:24Then I went to bed.
10:25Joe was out within minutes of Kelly finding Kirk,
10:31but his bedroom's right at the back,
10:32so how would he have heard anything?
10:35Well, I reckon he was waiting up for her
10:37because he don't like her being out so late.
10:39You can see that in his face.
10:41Why lie about being asleep?
10:42Because he doesn't want to look as jealous as he actually is.
10:47There's eight people living in that house
10:48and no one hears Kirk cry out.
10:50I don't know, I thought these squares were all friendly and communal,
10:56not places where everybody just turns their back.
11:02Well, there's always someone keeping her eye.
11:06Nice view from that being Mrs Bowling.
11:09I bet nothing gets past you, does it?
11:12Maybe not.
11:14But then...
11:14But then what?
11:26Did you know Roland Kirk?
11:28They're good people round here.
11:32Well, did you see or hear anything at the time of the attack?
11:38I'm a bit deaf, dear.
11:39Yeah.
11:44That time last night, I was upstairs watching telly.
11:50Okay.
11:51And you were out as soon as you heard Nate shouting?
11:54Well, yeah, I was worried about it.
11:56Nate doesn't normally do that sort of thing.
11:58So you heard Kirk cry out and chose not to do anything?
12:02He yells all the time.
12:04Yeah, but that's all well and good, Mr Orsey,
12:06but he could have died.
12:07Look, I'm not going to pretend I'm sorry.
12:09I was doing okay until that psycho Kirk turned up a few years back.
12:14He wanted to eat in, but I thought he stank, so I said no.
12:18Ever since, he's outside whispering to people about rats and cockroaches.
12:22I see them walk away.
12:24Look, that madman is ruining my business.
12:27I tell you lot, but you do nothing.
12:31When you catch whoever did it, shake their hand for me.
12:37There are no prints on the iron bar.
12:40Kirk's still in a coma, and you told me you can't get any witnesses.
12:44Which is a clue in itself.
12:46I mean, the residents of the square hated Kirk and wanted him out of there.
12:49Yeah, maybe they looked out, saw it was Kirk, and chose to turn a blind eye.
12:53Yeah, well, it's our job to stop people policing themselves.
12:58So, keep digging.
12:59But, Governor, we still have a few residents to talk to.
13:02I mean, Nate's mum and dad, the Morgans,
13:04they were out when we first called them.
13:06They can't be too happy about their son hanging out with Kirk.
13:09When Kirk turned up, he seemed okay at first.
13:16And we helped him.
13:17He'd do a bit of gardening.
13:19I'd made him some food.
13:21I mean, he taught Nate the guitar.
13:23That was our biggest mistake, letting him have any contact with Nate.
13:27Why do you say that?
13:27Because Nate is, how shall I put this, he's impressionable.
13:33When he was 15, he tried to cut his wrist.
13:36Why is that relevant?
13:37They don't need to know that.
13:38Harry, we haven't got anything to hide.
13:41I mean...
13:42Well, I'm sorry, that must have been a tough time for you.
13:44But Nate was back on track until Kirk showed up.
13:48Yeah, most of the residents seem to think that Kirk's a bit of a menace.
13:53Yeah.
13:54But Harry thinks it's disgusting that he should have to pay taxes
13:59when there's scum like Roland walking around.
14:02The house has been on the market for a year.
14:04Any time we get prospective buyers around,
14:07Kirk is always there, welcoming them to the neighbourhood.
14:12So they don't hang around too long?
14:14Yeah.
14:16We even...
14:17We had a residents' association meeting about it to talk about it,
14:21to try to get some evidence.
14:22Here, have a look at this.
14:24Oh, here we go.
14:24Why are you doing this?
14:36What? Look, don't put the camera in, my...
14:38Go home.
14:41What? What is the point?
14:43You're all eating rats!
14:45Rats! You're all eating rats!
14:48How many times have I told you?
14:51Piss off!
14:53Go on, stop.
14:54That's your father's name.
14:58What does your mum think of it?
15:08Go away!
15:10I've got enough of you.
15:11Could you please stop following me?
15:17So whenever I see him, he's wearing my jacket,
15:21with my brandy,
15:23my cigars,
15:25with my son.
15:29Anyway,
15:29we weren't here because I had taken Irene to A&E,
15:34and when we got back,
15:36the ambulance had already gone with Kirk in it.
15:39Sorry, how did you get in the car?
15:42Earlier in the evening,
15:43I went over to Kirk's van to see if I could get one of our paintings back.
15:47But it wasn't a painting, it was an icon, actually.
15:49But the point is that Nate seemed fit to donate this to Kirk.
15:54Because, you know, we haven't got enough stuff.
15:57Okay, so Kirk pushed me over and I broke my wrist.
16:03He didn't mean to.
16:05Yeah, while our son stood by out of his brains on whatever drug Kirk had given him.
16:11Kirk didn't give me anything.
16:13Why do you feel the need to blame everything that's wrong in your life on him?
16:16Because he's ruining our life, that's why.
16:20One second, sorry.
16:21Hi, Brooks.
16:22Hello?
16:23Okay.
16:26No, that's fine.
16:30Well, Roland Kirk has just come out of his coma.
16:36Then he can tell us who did this.
16:38Hey, they came from behind me.
16:50Did you say they?
16:52There was more than one, sir?
16:56I don't know.
16:57I told you that.
17:00They were behind me.
17:05I was supposed to hit myself.
17:08So you didn't see anything of your attackers?
17:15Mr. Kirk.
17:17I saw a dragon.
17:22A dragon?
17:27A red dragon.
17:34He was talking to me.
17:38So, we're looking for a dragon.
17:46Oh, not just any dragon.
17:47This one was red.
17:48Well, he could be remembering their paramedic giving him the old CPR mouth-to-mouth.
17:53Well, that's a bit of a leap, innit?
17:56What about Harry Morgan?
17:58Kirk hurts his wife.
17:59His son's hanging around with him.
18:01Does his story check out?
18:03His car's seen on the CCTV on the high street at 325 after the attack.
18:08What if it is just a gang who beat him up and moved on?
18:14Well, listen, if the residents had seen a gang, they would certainly be talking.
18:18And there's so many people on that square keeping shtun.
18:22Didn't the Logans say they had resident meetings?
18:26Get hold of the minutes.
18:28Mate, what's your dad doing?
18:30I don't know.
18:31Merry Christmas, isn't it?
18:33Merry Christmas, mate.
18:34You're disappointed with your father.
18:37When Mole and Kirk ain't about, or he's AWOL, they've got nothing to complain about other than the litter.
18:42Yeah, but when he's back, he racks up an impressive 117 complaints, and the meeting runs on for two hours.
18:49They're obsessed, I'm telling you.
18:50I mean, what actual harm is he doing?
18:55Other than being a, you know, a bit of a pain in the arse.
18:58Er, he assaulted Irene Morgan.
19:01Or maybe he was defending his territory.
19:03You are joking.
19:04No, there's two sides to every story, mate, aren't there?
19:06I mean, nay.
19:09Gives Royal and Kirk the stuff fair and square.
19:12Irene Morgan comes over all threatening, there's a bit of a scuffle.
19:16And he don't mean to hurt him.
19:17And he's a parasite.
19:19I mean, seriously, would you want to live there?
19:21They are trapped.
19:22Their house prices are going down, they can't sell the place, and it's all because of Royal and Kirk.
19:26And they did apply for an ASBO, but it was turned down.
19:30Because he was friendly with the Morgans and apparently had slept there in the past.
19:35No, I'm sorry, mate.
19:36I would want shot at him.
19:38Well, look at these last complaints here, right, from Dora Bowen.
19:42Now, she reckons she can't get any sleep because Roland Kirk keeps her awake at night.
19:50Isn't she supposed to be deaf?
19:56I told you I didn't hear anything.
19:58On account of being deaf.
20:00It has its compensations.
20:02But you did complain to the Residence Association, saying that Roland Kirk was keeping you awake at night.
20:10And he was only singing in the park.
20:13How did you know about that?
20:16The detective's dora.
20:17I can't tell you what I saw.
20:21And why not?
20:27I'm all alone.
20:29I don't get out much now.
20:33They look after me round here.
20:35Well, I can understand that.
20:38But in the same vein, a man almost died out there, didn't he?
20:42He doesn't deserve that.
20:45I'll tell you what.
20:46You tell us, and we won't let on where we got the information from.
20:59There was this horrible cry.
21:05And then this grunting.
21:06I got up, I came to the window.
21:13But it was all quiet by then.
21:18After a while, I saw two men leaving the square.
21:23One of them was too far away for me to see who it was.
21:28But the other one was Joe Butler.
21:31He was in his dressing gown.
21:36Joe's got work at the moment.
21:40You can get him on this number.
21:43Thanks.
21:44Can I hold on to this?
21:45Yeah, sure.
21:46We'll show ourselves out.
21:52Hold on.
21:55I know you talked to Patrick.
21:58Patrick Orsey, yeah.
22:00Yeah.
22:00He didn't have anything to do with it.
22:02The only reason he came out so quickly that night is because he was on the phone to me.
22:13And why would he be calling you at three o'clock in the morning?
22:17I called him.
22:20I teach dance classes at the cafe.
22:23So does Joe know about you and Patrick?
22:27No, look, please don't tell him this over now.
22:30Are you telling us this because Kirk happened to come out of his coma?
22:36He saw me and Patrick together once.
22:38And then when I was with Joe, he'd follow us around and talk about how I love to eat Italian.
22:47I thought it was funny.
22:49And so you ended it?
22:50Yeah.
22:51Kirk reckons he saw a dragon, didn't he?
23:04So it could have been that kimono.
23:06Well, maybe Kirk told Joe about the affair.
23:09Joe didn't want to confront Kelly in case he lost her.
23:11And he was scared that Kirk might make it public because it would embarrass him.
23:17So he shut him up.
23:18Well, yeah, Kirk's the liars of the square, isn't he?
23:21So he knows all the secrets.
23:23But he never actually named Joe.
23:25No, but Dora Bowen did.
23:27Look, she's got it wrong.
23:30She's an old lady.
23:31I didn't even go to the park until after Kirk was found.
23:34Did Rob and Kirk ever trouble you personally?
23:38Only by hassling Kelly.
23:41What was that about?
23:44You've seen her.
23:45She's gorgeous.
23:46As a man, isn't he?
23:47Does that make you feel threatened, Joe?
23:49As a man, I mean, you're out all hours.
23:52She doesn't work.
23:53Apart from the dance classes at horses.
23:57Look, she's out of my league.
23:59I know that.
24:00She flirts.
24:01Always has.
24:02Now and then she takes a little too far.
24:05But she always comes home to me.
24:07Did Kirk ever say that Kelly was maybe going a little too far?
24:13No, I've never even spoken to the man.
24:17Joe Buckler is lying.
24:19We know he spoke to Roland Kirk because Kelly told us, all right?
24:22Dora Bowen puts Butler at the scene of the crime
24:25and said he was wearing a dressing gown.
24:28Joe does have a red kimono dressing gown
24:31with oriental patterns on the back.
24:33Well, Kirk said the dragon was breathing.
24:36Joe's a medical student.
24:38Maybe he was giving him CPR.
24:39If you're doing CPR on someone who's bleeding like a stuck pig,
24:42you're going to get blood all over you, aren't you?
24:44Yeah.
24:45We need that kimono for forensics.
24:47He can't search his house without a good reason.
24:50Well, then why don't we arrest Butler on suspicion of GBH?
24:54That way we can search the house and get all the evidence we need.
24:58He ain't exactly hiding it, is he?
25:00I mean, the poor bloke's just thrown the kimono straight in the wash.
25:03He's not a practice criminal.
25:05No.
25:06That's true.
25:07He might cave earlier than you think.
25:11Get him in cuffs.
25:13Dora Bowen told us that she saw you leaving the park just after the attack.
25:18She's wrong.
25:21I was in bed asleep.
25:22What have you got against Roland Kirk?
25:25And Kelly also told us that Roland Kirk used to wind you up about her and Patrick Orsi.
25:36That you told us you'd never spoken to Roland Kirk.
25:39I mean, it can't be easy, Joe.
25:42Him goading you about your wife and another man.
25:45Please, I'm sorry I lied to you.
25:47I was scared.
25:48Why?
25:49What are you scared about, Joe?
25:52This.
25:53You know, being here,
25:55I didn't hurt Kirk.
25:59You've got to believe me.
26:00Well, Dora Bowen said that she saw someone else with you.
26:03Who was that?
26:04And no one.
26:06Because I didn't come out until after Kelly found Kirk's body.
26:09What were you wearing then?
26:12Why?
26:13Just answer the question, please, Joe.
26:19Joggers and a sweatshirt.
26:25Right.
26:27Renzix found blood matching Kirk's on Butler's kimono,
26:31which puts Butler at the scene.
26:34But Joe's still saying he was asleep.
26:37But then again, he's scared about something.
26:40How's Kirk now?
26:42Well, he's stable.
26:43He's on lithium and painkillers
26:45and still confused about what happened that night.
26:48Well, let's do a video ID parade,
26:50see if we can't jog his memory.
26:53I can't really see.
26:55I have blood in me eyes.
26:58OK.
27:00It's fine.
27:01Just take your time and just keep looking at the screen if you care.
27:08There you go.
27:10What about him?
27:15Dragons.
27:16Dragons.
27:18And he's our star witness.
27:20He's saying you're funny.
27:21No, not at all, sir.
27:23Does he think I'm funny?
27:25Just take your time.
27:25Calm down.
27:27We know there's dragons on the dressing gown.
27:29We're just trying to ascertain who was wearing the dressing gown.
27:32So just keep looking at the screen.
27:34OK?
27:35OK?
27:35Yeah.
27:47Sure?
27:49Yeah, he was on top of me.
27:51He was, uh...
27:54shouting at me.
27:55He knew my name.
28:01Yeah, he tried to kill me.
28:05My client has been charged with GBH
28:12on the word of a man who claims he was attacked by a dragon.
28:16Roland Kirk has identified you, Mr. Butler.
28:19He claims you tried to kill him.
28:21He said the same about the nurse
28:22who tried to change his IV drip this morning.
28:24This is a joke.
28:26Not for Roland Kirk.
28:29He might never walk again.
28:31What?
28:31What?
28:35He was beaten over and over with an iron bar, Mr. Butler.
28:42On his head, on his legs.
28:44You were seen coming out of the park in the square
28:46at the time of the beating.
28:48Well, I didn't hurt him.
28:49Then who did?
28:50You're intimidating my client, James.
28:53Somebody took the law into their own hands,
28:55beat Roland Kirk, and left him to die.
28:57I'm not going to let that stand.
28:58It wasn't me.
28:59I saved his life.
29:03I'm a good person.
29:05When something terrible happened,
29:07I got dragged into it.
29:11I gave him mouth to mouth.
29:14What exactly happened?
29:15This is your last chance
29:21to tell us the truth, Mr. Butler.
29:29I was waiting up for Kelly.
29:31I heard noises from the park.
29:33I went outside.
29:36Orsi was by the park gate.
29:39He said he'd found Kirk in the state.
29:42I saw his outcoat,
29:43so I gave him CPR.
29:43Why didn't you call an ambulance?
29:48Orsi said he'd seen to it.
29:50He told me to go home,
29:51wash my dressing gown.
29:52I said it wasn't there.
29:55He's got a temper, Patrick Orsi.
29:58He's punched Kirk before.
30:02Talk to him.
30:04You want to know why I punched him?
30:06He pushed my son into the road.
30:09My son's eight.
30:10Ever since my ex won't let him come over.
30:15He knew about you and Kelly.
30:17Were you scared Joe might find out?
30:20No.
30:21I wanted to tell him,
30:22but Kelly wasn't having it.
30:24Look,
30:25I've got a hundred motives, okay?
30:27But I didn't do it.
30:28I got previous for ABH.
30:32I won't go down for him.
30:34I just came out and I found him.
30:36You told Joe that you'd call an ambulance.
30:39There's no record of any call.
30:42That's because I didn't want to trace back to me or Joe.
30:45I knew he was a squealer.
30:46So you went inside,
30:48watched telly while Kirk lay bleeding to death in the park.
30:51If I hadn't have come out,
30:52I wouldn't have found him.
30:54Look,
30:54he's a tramp
30:55and a crazy.
30:56It was bound to happen sooner or later.
30:57So you think he deserved it?
30:59You don't know him.
31:01He's a bully.
31:02He's cruel.
31:05He loves to watch people break.
31:12Patrick Corsi admits he didn't call an ambulance,
31:14but he also says he didn't beat Kirk.
31:16And Joe Bartlow said that all he did
31:18was to try and save his life.
31:20So who do we believe?
31:22Well, there's only one person who knows the truth.
31:26Roland Kirk.
31:27No, I'm a crown prosecutor.
31:35I want to find out
31:36who did this to you.
31:39I won't bother.
31:42The system don't work for people like me.
31:44You know that.
31:46It's for ordinary people
31:48with orderly lives.
31:51people with orderly in their lives, see?
32:00Yeah.
32:05Definitely trust in me, mate.
32:10Is that what the Morgans did?
32:14Trusted you?
32:15I thought I was taking their boy away from them.
32:23It used to come to me.
32:33It used to sell my lithium
32:35to buy cocaine.
32:39I don't take it.
32:41I drink whiskey.
32:48I drink lots of whiskey.
32:50a lot of chaos in my head some days.
32:59I can try
33:06and make the system work for you
33:09this time.
33:12But you have to trust me.
33:14Yeah, I was trying to sleep
33:24in the park.
33:26I could hear the horsey.
33:28Caught with someone nearby
33:33and
33:34that's when it started.
33:38They hit me.
33:40I didn't think they were going to stop.
33:45I thought I was going to die.
33:50I didn't mean to
33:52push
33:55Eileen Morgan.
34:02Her arm was in the sling
34:04when she came back from the hospital.
34:09You saw
34:10Irene Morgan come back
34:12before you were attacked.
34:24Alicia.
34:25CCTV footage
34:29of backed up
34:29Harry Morgan's story.
34:31I have the image enlarged.
34:32Take a look.
34:34That's Harry Morgan's car
34:36seen in the high street
34:37at 3.25am
34:39going in the direction
34:40of the square.
34:41Look at the passenger seat.
34:45There's no one there.
34:47We thought there's evidence
34:48clearly.
34:48It doesn't.
34:50He's seen on CCTV
34:51leaving the hospital
34:52at 2.30am.
34:54which gives him enough time
34:57to go home,
34:58drop off his wife.
34:59And have his revenge.
35:00they must have driven off again
35:02to clear his head,
35:05dump his clothes.
35:06I don't know.
35:06Is there footage of him familiar?
35:08No.
35:10We haven't got enough to charge him.
35:11No one's even mentioned his name.
35:13But we now know he lied.
35:17Talk to him.
35:19Check out his story.
35:21Kirk's lying.
35:22Mr. Morgan,
35:24you told the police
35:25that you came back
35:26as Kirk was being taken away
35:27by the ambulance.
35:29You were seen out in your car
35:31alone at that time.
35:32So, you see,
35:34you must have come back
35:35earlier with your wife.
35:36Look,
35:36why am I having to defend myself?
35:38And why do you people
35:40always take their side?
35:42Whose side?
35:43The inadequate.
35:44The people who can't
35:46function in society.
35:47What about my rights?
35:48And I'm not a bigot.
35:50I'm an architect.
35:52I read The Guardian
35:53for crying out loud.
35:55Look,
35:55I understand how desperate
35:56you must feel.
35:58No.
35:59You don't.
36:03My son
36:05hates me
36:06because
36:08Kirk
36:10got inside his head
36:12and turned him against me
36:13and
36:14he's made my life
36:17a living
36:19nightmare.
36:22Now,
36:23if that's all you need,
36:25I really need to get back
36:26to work, okay?
36:31I checked the phones
36:32at the hospital
36:33and cross-matched them
36:34with the corridor CCTV.
36:36Got the bit between you,
36:37T, can you?
36:38Harry Morgan
36:39called Patrick Orsay
36:40at 1.34am
36:42from the hospital.
36:44Morgan's obsessed.
36:45he wants revenge.
36:49He phones up Orsay
36:50to keep an eye on Kirk.
36:52And when Morgan gets back,
36:53the two of them
36:54decide to take Kirk on.
36:57Kirk said he heard Orsay
36:58talking to someone
36:59before the beating started.
37:04Which makes this
37:05a premeditated,
37:07cold-blooded
37:08vigilante attack.
37:12Let's put pressure
37:13on Orsay.
37:15Harry didn't get back
37:16until after Kirk was found.
37:20We know you were in the park
37:21after Kirk was attacked.
37:24I'm not lying.
37:28If you and Harry
37:29went into the park together,
37:30you're looking at
37:31Joint Enterprise GBH.
37:37A long-stretching custody.
37:39Harry Morgan must be
37:44a very good friend
37:45if you're willing
37:45to do time for him.
37:56Harry came back.
38:00He took Irene
38:01into his house
38:01and came out again.
38:04He ran to the building site
38:05round the corner,
38:06picked up an iron bar,
38:07and he went into the park.
38:24Harry Morgan.
38:27I'm arresting you
38:28on suspicion of GBH.
38:30You do not have to say anything,
38:32but it may harm your defense
38:33if you do not mention
38:34when questioned,
38:35something related to relying on him.
38:36This is bloody ridiculous.
38:38This way, and anything
38:39that you do say,
38:40make you do it.
38:42You ought to be ashamed
38:43of yourselves.
38:45Yeah, Nate.
38:46I was only doing
38:47a job for you.
38:52I was only doing
39:01a job for you.
39:02I was only doing
39:02a job for you.
39:03I was only doing
39:03a job for you.
39:04Fast.
39:14Can you believe this?
39:16Harry Morgan's entered
39:17a not-guilty police
39:18saying he acted
39:19in self-defense.
39:20Oh, terrific.
39:21I suppose we shouldn't expect
39:23honor from a vigilante.
39:25He claims
39:25he went into the park
39:27to confront Kirk.
39:28Kirk lashed out
39:29and Harry conveniently
39:30found an iron bar
39:31on the ground
39:32and fought him off.
39:33Yeah, but Patrick Orsey
39:34told you that Morgan
39:36got the bar
39:36in the building site
39:37nearby.
39:38Exactly.
39:38The attack was vicious
39:40and premeditated.
39:41I know where the jury's sympathies
39:45will lie, with the man
39:47whose wife was attacked
39:48and not with her
39:49violent victim.
39:51It doesn't matter
39:51what Kirk did.
39:52Harry Morgan's actions
39:53can't go unpunished.
39:55I'll make the jury see that.
39:56It could be tougher
39:57than you think.
39:59We're all potential
40:00vigilantes deep down.
40:02If I had been through
40:04what Harry Morgan
40:04had been through,
40:05I might be tempted
40:06to have a go myself.
40:08I'm beat a man
40:09unconscious.
40:10We're all liberals
40:11until the front garden
40:13is invaded, James.
40:15The jury will be imagining
40:16what they would do
40:17in the same situation.
40:20We can't afford
40:21for Harry Morgan
40:22to become a cause
40:23celebrity, James.
40:25The last thing we want
40:26is a middle-class
40:28vigilante hero.
40:30So you go into that court
40:31and you expose him
40:32for the thug that he is.
40:34Did Mr. Morgan
40:38phone you from the hospital?
40:41Yes.
40:42He asked where Kirk was.
40:44I told him he was
40:45in the park.
40:47When did you next
40:48see Mr. Morgan?
40:50When he brought
40:51Irene home.
40:53He got her indoors
40:54and then came out again
40:55and I went down.
40:58What happened then?
41:01He wanted to talk
41:02to Kirk.
41:04Said he was tired
41:05of walking away.
41:08Then...
41:09I'm sorry, Harry.
41:12Answer the question, please.
41:18Then he went
41:18to the building site,
41:20picked up an iron bar
41:21and went into the park.
41:22Did you follow Mr. Morgan
41:29into the park?
41:31I waited by the gate.
41:33I didn't see anything.
41:35Then Harry left.
41:38He was covered in blood.
41:40He got into his car
41:42and then he drove off.
41:44And that's when I
41:45went in.
41:49No further questions.
41:54You're very good friends
41:56with Mr. Morgan.
41:58Would you say
41:59he's a decent man?
42:01Yeah.
42:03He's helped me
42:03through tough times.
42:06I couldn't ask
42:06for a better friend.
42:07No, this isn't right.
42:18What isn't right,
42:19Mr. Orsey?
42:20A decent,
42:20hardworking family man
42:22in the dock.
42:24Kirk's ruining
42:24our lives.
42:26Harry's the victim here.
42:29Can I remind you
42:30that you are
42:31still under oath?
42:31Could you
42:35tell us
42:36what happened
42:37that night?
42:39I did go in
42:40after him.
42:42I yelled at him
42:43to walk away
42:43and he did.
42:45He dropped the bar.
42:46He was walking away
42:47when Kirk
42:48attacked him.
42:50He only picked it up again
42:51when Kirk
42:52shoved him to the ground.
42:53I lied.
42:54I'm sorry.
42:55I didn't know
42:56what to say.
43:01Well,
43:03it's better late
43:04than never
43:04where the truth's
43:05concerned.
43:10Any re-examination,
43:12Mr. Steele?
43:15Yes, my lord.
43:17I thought as much.
43:22If this
43:24new version
43:25is true,
43:27Mr. Orsey,
43:28why didn't you
43:30intervene
43:30when Harry Morgan
43:32picked the bar
43:32up again?
43:35Harry was
43:36only defending himself.
43:38I see.
43:39So,
43:40you walked away
43:41as the fight
43:43was starting?
43:50Even though
43:51your close friend
43:52was in danger?
43:56Yeah.
43:56the jury
43:59must know
44:00he's lying.
44:02They might
44:03prefer the new
44:04version.
44:05Clean-cut man
44:06defends himself
44:07against crazy
44:08Trump.
44:09Harry Morgan
44:10keeps telling everyone
44:11he's an honourable man,
44:12but he won't take a shred
44:13of responsibility
44:14for his actions.
44:16Harry Morgan's
44:16a good guy.
44:18He was defending
44:19himself.
44:21Him and his family
44:21are the people
44:22the CPS
44:23should be
44:23serving,
44:24James,
44:25or prosecuting.
44:26He beat a man
44:27in cold blood,
44:28then he left him
44:29to die.
44:29These are the people
44:30we're meant
44:30to put away.
44:32Roland Kirk
44:33is a violent sociopath
44:34who terrorized
44:35a neighborhood.
44:37You put the wrong
44:39man in the dock,
44:40and everyone
44:41in that court
44:42can see it.
44:44Except you.
44:45I saw the
44:53Morgans
44:53when they
44:54came back
44:54from the hospital.
44:57I was hiding
44:58in the park.
45:00I was going to
45:00sleep there
45:01that night.
45:03I shut my eyes.
45:07A little while
45:07later,
45:09I heard
45:10Orsi
45:11shouting
45:12at someone.
45:12that's
45:15when it
45:15started.
45:16The attack?
45:19I tried
45:20to protect
45:21myself
45:21by crawling
45:24away.
45:27He started
45:28hitting my
45:28legs.
45:32I remember
45:33thinking I was
45:34going to die.
45:39Can you
45:39identify
45:41your attacker?
45:42No.
45:47What is
45:48your relationship
45:48with the
45:49defendant?
45:51He hates
45:52me.
45:55His son
45:56refers to
45:57hang out
45:58with me.
45:59His wife
46:00sometimes
46:00brings me
46:01food
46:01behind his
46:02back.
46:04Has
46:04the defendant
46:05ever
46:06threatened
46:06you?
46:07Threatens
46:08me all
46:08the time.
46:09thank you.
46:12No further
46:13questions.
46:19You have
46:20several
46:21previous
46:22convictions,
46:23don't you,
46:24Mr. Kirk?
46:25You know
46:26I do.
46:27Well,
46:28the jury
46:29doesn't,
46:30Mr. Kirk,
46:31so perhaps
46:32you might
46:33care to
46:33answer.
46:34Yes.
46:41Harassment,
46:43public
46:45disorder,
46:47criminal
46:48damage.
46:50Why did
46:50you break
46:51Irene
46:51Morgan's
46:52arm?
46:52Pardon?
46:53Why did
46:55you break
46:55Irene
46:56Morgan's
46:57arm?
47:04She wanted
47:05to take
47:06the painting
47:07back that
47:07Nate gave
47:08me.
47:11I'm sorry
47:12I did
47:12that.
47:14Don't know
47:15my own
47:15strength.
47:17And is
47:18it fair to
47:18say that
47:19sometimes
47:21you also
47:22don't always
47:23know your
47:23own
47:24mind?
47:29No.
47:30I know
47:31it.
47:32I just
47:33don't like
47:33it.
47:35And you
47:35like to
47:36torment
47:36people,
47:37don't you?
47:38As we
47:39know from
47:39your
47:39previous
47:41criminal
47:41convictions.
47:44Don't
47:45choose
47:47to be
47:49this
47:49way.
47:56I
47:57took the
47:57iron bar
47:58from a
47:58building
47:59site and
47:59I went
48:00to the
48:00park.
48:02Kirk was
48:03lying on
48:03the ground
48:04at his
48:04back to
48:04me and
48:06I
48:06couldn't
48:07go through
48:07with it.
48:08I
48:08dropped
48:08the
48:09bar.
48:11But
48:11Kirk
48:12heard it
48:13fall to
48:13the
48:13ground,
48:14got up,
48:15pushed
48:15me over.
48:16What did
48:17you do
48:17then?
48:20I
48:20panicked.
48:22I
48:22reached for
48:22the bar,
48:23hit out,
48:25caught him
48:25on the
48:25head,
48:26he fell.
48:27I
48:28shouldn't
48:28have done
48:28it,
48:29but I
48:29had to
48:29defend
48:29myself.
48:32Thank
48:33you,
48:33Mr.
48:33Morgan.
48:43Why did
48:44you take
48:45the
48:46iron
48:46bar into
48:47the
48:47park?
48:49I
48:50had an
48:50idea that
48:51I was
48:51going to
48:51teach
48:52Kirk a
48:52lesson,
48:53but I
48:54saw sense.
48:55I
48:55dropped
48:56the
48:56bar.
48:58Then
48:58picked it
48:59up again
49:00and beat
49:01him to
49:01within an
49:02inch of
49:02his life.
49:03I
49:03was
49:03scared.
49:04He
49:04kept
49:04coming
49:04at me.
49:05When did
49:05he
49:06stop
49:06coming
49:07at you,
49:07Mr.
49:07Morgan?
49:08When
49:08you'd
49:09broken
49:09his
49:09kneecaps
49:10and
49:10his
49:10legs?
49:10Or
49:11was
49:11it
49:11after
49:11you
49:11bashed
49:12him
49:12twice
49:12on the
49:13head,
49:13fracturing
49:13his
49:13skull?
49:14I
49:14was
49:14just
49:14defending
49:15myself.
49:15He
49:15was
49:16covering
49:16his
49:16face.
49:17He
49:17didn't
49:17even
49:17see
49:18you,
49:18did
49:18he?
49:19He's
49:19not a
49:20man
49:20who
49:20fought
49:21back,
49:21is
49:22it?
49:24You're
49:24lying,
49:25aren't
49:25you?
49:28No,
49:29I'm not.
49:29You
49:29didn't drop
49:30the bar,
49:30did you?
49:31You were
49:31out for
49:31revenge.
49:32Your
49:32family was
49:33falling
49:33apart.
49:34You
49:34wanted to
49:34take that
49:35anger and
49:35that frustration.
49:36No one
49:37else was
49:37going to
49:38help me.
49:38Oh,
49:38so you
49:39thought
49:39about
49:39attacking
49:39Mr.
49:40Kirk
49:40prior to
49:41that
49:41night?
49:41Yes,
49:42plenty of
49:42times.
49:43You've
49:44heard how
49:44often he
49:44provoked
49:45us.
49:47I would
49:48pray that
49:49he would
49:49have an
49:49accident
49:50or
49:51anything,
49:54but I
49:55never acted
49:56on those
49:57thoughts.
49:57I
49:58am
49:59not the
50:02bad guy
50:02here.
50:03Yet,
50:03in picking
50:04up that
50:04iron bar,
50:05you decided
50:05to take
50:06the law
50:06into your
50:07own hands.
50:07What was
50:08I meant
50:08to do?
50:10We
50:10couldn't get
50:10away from
50:11him.
50:11I was
50:12desperate.
50:13I'm not
50:14going to
50:14deny that.
50:15He was
50:16taking my
50:17son away
50:17from me.
50:18Oh,
50:18you had
50:18problems
50:19with your
50:19son before
50:20you even
50:20met Mr.
50:21Kirk.
50:21We were
50:21sorting that
50:22out as a
50:23family before
50:23he showed
50:24up.
50:24You blame
50:25Mr.
50:26Kirk for
50:26everything,
50:26don't you,
50:27Mr.
50:27Morgan?
50:29Is that
50:29how you can
50:30convince yourself
50:31you've done
50:31nothing wrong?
50:32I told
50:32you.
50:33I regained
50:36my self-control
50:37before I did
50:39anything stupid.
50:40I dropped
50:40the bar
50:41and then
50:45I used it
50:45in self-defense.
50:47What would
50:47you have
50:47done?
50:48whose freedom
50:55has priority
50:57here?
51:00You might
51:00think
51:01Roland Kirk
51:03is your
51:03worst nightmare.
51:05You might
51:06understand
51:06Harry Morgan's
51:07frustration,
51:08but he
51:09broke the
51:09law.
51:11He beat
51:12Roland Kirk
51:13in the most
51:14brutal way.
51:16then he
51:18walked away
51:18leaving
51:18Roland Kirk
51:19for dead.
51:21I wasn't
51:22self-defense.
51:25That was
51:25vigilantism.
51:29In
51:29viciously
51:30attacking
51:31a sleeping
51:32man,
51:35Harry
51:35Morgan
51:35became a
51:36bigger
51:36menace
51:37to society
51:38than
51:38Roland Kirk
51:39could ever
51:40be.
51:43Imagine
51:43your own
51:44community.
51:44besieged
51:46by vagrants
51:47who terrorized
51:48you day
51:49and night
51:50and imagine
51:52the authorities
51:53failing to
51:54help.
51:56Harry Morgan
51:57was at the
51:58end of his
51:58tether that
51:59night.
52:00He may
52:01have taken
52:01a bar
52:01into the
52:02park
52:02with the
52:03intention
52:03of violence,
52:05but he
52:06knew he
52:06was better
52:07than that
52:07and he
52:09tried to
52:09walk away.
52:12Roland Kirk
52:13attacked him.
52:15He defended
52:15himself.
52:19Harry Morgan
52:20is the
52:21victim here
52:21today.
52:23He acted
52:24to defend
52:25his property,
52:27his family
52:28and his
52:29way of life.
52:34Members of the
52:35jury,
52:35have you reached
52:36a verdict upon
52:37which you are

53:35morgan's evil he got pushed too far he made a mistake and he's gone unpunished
53:40so the system finally came through for me to expect me to congratulate you
