Injustice

William Travers, well, well, well.

I've been offered a case in London.

A murder case - I don't believe this.

It's Martin Newall. Martin? Yeah.

He's accused of murdering his secretary.

I didn't do it, Will, I swear to God.

On the way to the hotel, Lucy seemed very nervous.

I don't know, I thought I saw someone. What else?

The computer, it was in the room, but the police couldn't find it.

This barrister, Travers, he has no reason to look into our affairs.

He will if he believes the girl was killed to get at the computer.

Alan, can I have a word? I read your story.

Can you publish it? Getting published isn't easy.

You've got a new case. A murder, someone got shot at a farm house.

Animal rights activist, Philip Spaull.

The man who supplied the gun, Mr Crips,

has a disability. All I got to do is find a gun dealer

with one hand that's gone spazo.

You didn't hear the car? It was one of them erm...electric ones.

Like a hybrid? He knows where Spaull lives,

he breaks in and shoots him in the head.

It's these bleeding lawyers.

They don't case what they do, it's just a game.

If at any time I come to think that he isn in fact guilty, I will walk.

Come on.

Do it.

Ah!

What is it that makes us think

that Martin Newall did not kill Lucy Wilson?

You were at university together? That's entirely irrelevant.

I'm glad. The computer.

Exactly, the computer. Our client insists

that he took it with him into the hotel room.

Now that may be or may not be verified by the maid

who came to do the turn down in the room. I'm going to need her name.

Right. I'll talk to her.

So, by the time the police arrived, the computer was already missing,

suggesting, of course, that somebody had gone into the room and taken it.

That was the motive. It was nothing to do with the affair.

Unless Lucy Wilson was planning blackmail.

Which is what the police say. But where's the evidence?

There's no evidence she even threatened it.

Well, that's the question. Isn't it?

I mean, what was on that computer that was so important

that someone was prepared to kill for it?

See the football? What?

Ipswich Town versus Sheffield United last night. Amazing game.

What makes you think I'm remotely interested in football?

What makes you think I'm remotely interested

in talking about it with you?

Sir, can I ask you a question? What?

Do you have a personal antipathy towards me

or are you just always like this? No, I'm always like this.

But as it happens, I don't like you neither.

The prosecution have er...given us primary disclosure.

We've got the statements of the SOCO, the forensic statement,

the pathologist report and the blood report.

And what about the computer? They mention the case it was carried in,

that's in the premises search book.

But they don't mention the computer at all. It's not recorded as stolen?

No. That's sloppy, even by Met standards. Anything else?

Lucy Wilson's Blackberry.

Everything on the phone. Addresses, phone numbers, the works.

0207 946 0068, London number, obviously.

And she called it a few times, including twice on the day she died.

Do we know who this belongs to? We can get that from the police.

Then there's the memo pad.

'Agadir'. Yeah, she typed it into her phone.

The name Agadir and a list of dates.

Yeah, January, April, July.

Agadir... Agadir is in er...it's in Morocco near Marrakesh.

Qestrel might do business there. Do they have any oil in Morocco?

No, not that I know of anyway.

But they may have people who buy and sell it.

It seems strange though, doesn't it?

I mean, why would you bother putting that on your phone?

Right, I'm going to want CCTV footage.

Every camera in the immediate vicinity of The Avenue Hotel

and the diner that Martin visited. I can do that.

Notice anything odd, anything strange,

Let's say a radius of...

a mile, in it.

And you'll need to do me a DVD, David. All right.

Right, anything else? No, I think that's it.

Good. OK, I am going home.

We've been campaigning against the trade in primates from Laos,

baboons from Tanzania and against the airlines

who are part of the chain of cruelty transporting them here.

It's a completely indefensible trade.

When it comes to medical procedures,

you only get a 50% success rate from animal trials.

You might as well toss a coin. Oh, forgive me, Miss Kirsten,

I didn't come here for the lecture.

You said you wanted to understand our work.

Yeah, I'm interested in the radical action bit, that's part of your name.

MPs are busy. The press aren't always interested.

Sometimes you have to make yourself heard. Oh, by using violence?

There was a time when we made the wrong sort of headlines.

But I came in a year ago and we've cleaned up our act.

Tell us about Philip Spaull.

I haven't seen Philip for a while.

You're not likely to neither. You know he's dead?

I didn't know, no.

Sorry, you have my condolences.

Someone took radical action with a bullet through his head.

He was killed? How well did you know him, Ms Kirsten?

I met him occasionally.

We've a lot of supporters.

But he was good man.

And when he put a bomb underneath the car of a well-known scientist,

was he being a good man then?

That wasn't Philip. That wasn't us.

But he confessed. Your fellow police officers

beat a confession out of him.

It's not quite the same thing.

The point is, he was found not guilty,

so that was the end of it, unless there's been a change in the law.

Oh, I bet you know all about the law, don't you, Ms Kirsten?

I know about not crossing the line.

Animal rights may not mean anything to you, Detective Inspector.

But at the end of the day it matters.

It's actually about our humanity.

I bet Philip Spaull was a model of humanity.

Is that why he got off?

He got off because he had a brilliant barrister

who believed in him and saw that he couldn't possibly have done

what he was accused of.

Mr Travers persuaded the jury

that he should never have been arrested in the first place. Who?

The barrister. No, who?

His name's Travers. Maybe you should talk to him.

We've already met.

The government insists

that no further funds can be found for coastal defence.

Police have released the name of a man

shot dead at a farm near Framlingham.

Philip Spaull, aged 32 -

..had also been using the name of John Jarrold.

Spaull was a known supporter of animal rights group RADAR,

that had been investigated several times

for its use of violent protest.

Local fishermen say that this could be...

Sue. Sue, have you got a minute?

The rest of my life, darling. What is it? Have you read this?

I try not to, it depresses me. Well, I just heard it on the radio

and it's already in the paper. It's Philip Spaull.

He's been living here, in Suffolk, and now someone's shot him.

It says here...Framlingham, erm... Fox Tree Farm,

killed with a pistol.

Wow, good riddance.

Is that all you can say?

What if Will has seen this? What if Kate has seen it?

It's just going to drag it all out again! Jane, calm down.

He was a very unpleasant man.

He caused you an awful lot of damage and now he's dead.

So this is the end.

And if Will had seen it, he would have said something,

wouldn't he? Don't you think?

Well, I suppose so. He's bound to find out eventually.

He'll probably be glad.

I'm just worried, you know.

I just... I thought we'd put all of this to rest.

Darling, this has got nothing to do with you.

It's got nothing to do with Will.

Philip Spaull is dead and buried,

so just be glad.

Wenborn?

It would be nice to see some paperwork from time to time.

We do have procedures, you know. Yes, sir.

So, how's it going? Yeah, it's going very well, sir.

How about you and DS Taylor, you getting on?

Yes, sir. Detective Sergeant Taylor is very capable...very focused.

As bad as that, then. So, tell me about Spaull.

That's his real name, I understand.

Yeah, well that's what it said in the newspaper.

You just be careful, Wenborn.

Right, we may have a trace on the gun.

We've got some tyre tracks and there's a connection

with the Liam Johnstone case. Do you remember?

The stolen medals, I'm hardly likely to forget it.

So...what connection?

I haven't quite worked it out yet, sir,

but I'll let you know when I do.

Good to see you, Martin.

This is a terrible business.

John, I...don't know what to say.

It was so stupid of me.

My secretary, for God's sake.

We've all been there. The flesh is weak.

And I'm told she was quite a stunner.

I can't believe it.

I still can't believe it. Well, I think we're agreed

that you didn't kill her...aren't we?

I didn't touch her. Well...

I didn't kill her. We've had the police in here quite a few times

and they seem to think differently. Well, they're wrong.

Either way, it's not exactly helpful, is it?

I'll resign if you think it would help.

I don't think it will come to that.

Of course, I don't want you coming in until this is over.
