1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:09,040
This programme
contains some strong language.

2
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,760
They're starting again.

3
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,680
'Would you like to take the oath
on the Bible or by affirmation?

4
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,520
'Affirmation.

5
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
'I don't believe in God any more.'

6
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,800
You'll notice I no longer have
anyone representing me.

7
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,200
I told my lawyer that

8
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,760
I was going to take the
stand and say to you,

9
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,560
"Yes, I did it.

10
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,560
And here's why."

11
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,400
She said if I did that she'd quit.

12
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,280
And she has.

13
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Yes, I did it.

14
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
And here's why.

15
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,840
Forward. Reverse. Right?

16
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,320
No brakes, so you reverse
to lose speed. Right? Dave!

17
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,120
Yeah. Two minutes!
Big red button cuts the power.

18
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,800
Up, down. It's going to raise
by about ten to 15 feet...

19
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,960
I need you. Now! And that there.

20
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,840
Ten minutes practice and
you start order picking.

21
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Fat bastard, in't he?

22
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Yes! Yes! But one at a time, please.

23
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Now. How old do
you think our solar system is?

24
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:06,200
Tegan. Really old, like...
156 million years, Miss.

25
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Good guess, Tegan...

26
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,560
but it's much, much older.

27
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,320
It's 4.6 billion years old.

28
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:20,040
So if you think that human life has
been around for about 200,000 years,

29
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,600
and we live to be, say,
75 years of age, well,

30
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,760
that's not much, is it, compared
to the age of the solar system?

31
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
If it's on answer, I'll kill him.

32
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,960
'Hi, it's Rob...leave a message.'

33
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Siobhan's eating your sandwiches.

34
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,640
What's the point of making them if
you're always going to leave them?

35
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,280
I'm not stupid, you know,
I know you do it on purpose.

36
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,720
Don't just eat chips!

37
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,800
And he's not answered?

38
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,400
He should have been back for six.

39
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Have you got a number for Michael?

40
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,000
Can I call you back in a minute?

41
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,640
'I hid.
Don't ask me why, but I hid.'

42
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,800
I'm out of view.
They're out of view.

43
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,200
Maybe they're next door.

44
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,120
Nothing to do with me, nothing
to do with Rob, it's next door.

45
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,720
As long as the bell doesn't ring.

46
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Please, God, do not
let that bell ring.

47
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,480
Bloody hell!
We're in extra time! Helen.

48
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Mrs Ryland?

49
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,280
Are you in on your own?

50
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,600
Frank. Frank!

51
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,120
What is it?

52
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,480
Can we come in?

53
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Come in.

54
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,120
We've come to inform you

55
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,240
that your son, Robert,

56
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,160
was fatally injured at
Maxfield's Wholesalers this morning.

57
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,680
Injured. Where is he?

58
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Is he in the hospital?

59
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Helen, he's dead.

60
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,920
What happened? I'm afraid
we don't have any more information.

61
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,800
You'll have to call the station
for more details.

62
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,440
If you...

63
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,360
ring this number,

64
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,440
and quote this reference.

65
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,520
You'll need to phone the
Coroner's office in the morning.

66
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,200
No point doing it now,
there'll be nobody there.

67
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,400
'Hello, can I help you?'

68
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,920
Yes, erm...

69
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,480
Two officers have just been.

70
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,640
And they, they told me my son...

71
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,080
..my son's been killed...

72
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,520
and they said I should...

73
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,720
'Have you got a
reference number there?'

74
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,640
Yes. DOA...

75
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,440
DOA 9461.

76
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,200
'Just hold on a minute, please.'

77
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,920
'Sorry about the wait, Mrs Ryland.
According to the paperwork

78
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,920
'your son's body is being
held at Failsworth General.'

79
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Mum's here.

80
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,000
You did a post mortem. Yes.

81
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,240
Did you use anything?

82
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,840
Sorry? Did you...

83
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,960
use any of his organs?

84
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,800
No, I promise you we didn't take
anything. He's... Is it too late now?

85
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Because he wanted to be a donor,
you see. In the event of...

86
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,560
something like this, he
wanted his organs used.

87
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:44,080
It is too late, I'm sorry. We
needed to know at the time of death.

88
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720
But nobody told us he was dead.

89
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000
'Welcome to the answering service.

90
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
'You have one new message. Main menu.
To listen to your messages...'

91
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,120
'Siobhan's eating
your sandwiches...'

92
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,520
You cope your way. I'll cope mine.

93
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,520
You're Rob's mother? Helen. Alan.

94
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Alan Maxfield. Good to meet you.

95
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,440
And you. This is his dad, Frank.

96
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,520
How d'you do?
Dave Price, general foreman.

97
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,000
And this is Stephen Simpson.

98
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Right. Shall we?

99
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,960
I spoke to Rob and his mate.

100
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Michael. Michael, yeah. Good lads.

101
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,240
I said to Dave, "How come two lads
like that are doing agency work

102
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,920
"when we've got full timers
not a patch on them?"

103
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,880
He was a credit to you.

104
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520
A credit to you both.

105
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,560
Thanks.

106
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,320
It was here.

107
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,680
He hit that section there.
The whole lot came down.

108
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,840
How? He lost control of the truck.

109
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,840
I'd just like to say that if there's
anything we can do, we'll do it.

110
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,480
Nothing like this has ever
happened to us before, you see.

111
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,280
We put the welfare of our
workers above everything else.

112
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,880
The boy he was with...

113
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Sorry. Michael.
Michael will tell you they did

114
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,040
all the Health and Safety stuff,
and they did it conscientiously,

115
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,520
but if there are any questions
or any problems, please shout.

116
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Thanks.

117
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,720
Did you have a question?

118
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Did he suffer?

119
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,640
No.

120
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120
From what I've heard it
was almost instantaneous.

121
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,360
I'll walk back with Frank and Helen.

122
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Is Michael in?

123
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,120
No, he's at work.

124
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,160
Can I come in?

125
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Please.

126
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Yeah.

127
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Come on, sweetheart.

128
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200
I'm sorry about the... Oh, no.

129
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Did Michael say what... Ryan, what
is that you've got in your mouth?

130
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,840
No, take it out of your mouth,
it's dirty.

131
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,640
What have I said about
putting things in your mouth?

132
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Where's the dog?

133
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,440
We haven't got one. The sign's
just to keep smack heads at bay.

134
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,960
I think Michael
probably just popped into his mum's.

135
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,720
I have no idea how long
he is going to be before he...

136
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Say hello to Daddy!
Come here, sweetheart.

137
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,800
Here you go!

138
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,720
That agency still getting you work?

139
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,000
Ryan didn't want to go to nursery
today. Kicked up a real fuss,
felt really bad.

140
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,400
Been lucky enough to
get a full time job.

141
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,240
Michael, you were there.

142
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,760
You were with him.

143
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,320
Did he suffer?

144
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,800
Are you sure?

145
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,320
You see, I've arranged my son's
funeral for next Thursday,

146
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,720
and I've been told to cancel it

147
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,560
because I haven't got
Alan Maxfield's permission.

148
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,160
It's Angela, isn't it?

149
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,200
Well, that's my problem, Angela,

150
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,080
I need your boss's permission
to bury my son. That's my problem.

151
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,720
I will do it. I need a shirt.

152
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Just leave the bloody thing alone,
for God's sake! I need a shirt!

153
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,440
Have you got a mobile number
for him, please?

154
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,200
I'm coming round.

155
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,960
Just try not to burn the place down.

156
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,520
Good to see you again.
Good to see you.

157
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,640
Alan's out on business
or he'd be talking to you himself.

158
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,960
I've been waiting 11 days
for permission to bury my son.

159
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,280
11 days.

160
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,080
I can't believe for a moment that
Alan Maxfield knows about this

161
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,640
because he would not treat
a grieving mother in such
an appalling fashion.

162
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,320
So, please, bring him here.

163
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,320
I can't.

164
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,200
Right. I'll wait.

165
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Helen, I am so sorry. I knew
absolutely nothing about this.

166
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,160
I'm going get on to everybody
right away and it'll all go ahead
on Thursday as planned.

167
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,080
My fault. I'm absolutely
fuming about this, Helen.

168
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,120
It should never have happened.
I'm so, so sorry.

169
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:14,640
All my fault.

170
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,560
I objected without consulting Alan.

171
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,600
You objected? Yes.

172
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:29,120
I'm sorry to be rude.
I don't mean to be rude, but what's
my son's funeral got to do with you?

173
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:30,920
I'm Alan's lawyer.

174
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,080
Michael!

175
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,960
Hi.

176
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,800
You're working here? Yeah.

177
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,080
Permanent? Yeah.

178
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,680
Well, six months probation
and then permanent, yeah.

179
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,920
He said you impressed him,
you both impressed him. Did he?

180
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,560
The funeral's Thursday.

181
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,560
Two o'clock. Right.

182
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,800
You'll be there? I can't make it.

183
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,880
What?

184
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,040
I'm working, aren't I?

185
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,960
You'll get time off.

186
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,000
He died in there, Michael,
they'll give you time off.

187
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,160
I'm sorry.

188
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:40,200
You were his friend, Michael,
so, ring me, please.

189
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,400
Lads I served my time with...
we stuck together.

190
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,080
I need you to come with me tomorrow.

191
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,600
We should have let him join the navy.

192
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,160
You learn a trade in the navy.

193
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,840
Talk about ironic, keeping him out
the armed forces cos it's dangerous

194
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,000
and sending him to...
You're blaming me?

195
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,560
No. You are.

196
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,200
I made him go to that place,
so you're blaming me. I'm not.

197
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,320
I'm going to the
police station tomorrow.

198
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,200
I don't want to go there on my own.

199
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,920
Will you come with me, please?

200
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,840
You're wasting your...
Will you come with me, please?

201
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,600
It's a Health and Safety issue,
really. So, yes, just me.

202
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,040
Did you look at the CCTV film? No.

203
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,320
No? The
cameras weren't working that day.

204
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,760
They told you that? Yes.

205
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,280
And you believed them?

206
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Well, why not? For God's sake.

207
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,200
You prick.

208
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,480
Sorry!

209
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,280
He was with his friend. Michael.

210
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,600
He must've seen everything.

211
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,840
Yes, we got a statement from him.

212
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,120
It absolves the
company of all blame.

213
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,440
He says it was all your
son's fault, Mrs Ryland.

214
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,840
'I know something stinks.'

215
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,680
CCTV cameras not working.

216
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Alan Maxfield frightened to open
his mouth unless his lawyer's there.

217
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,720
Michael too ashamed
to look me in the eye.

218
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,360
You're only here so you can
say, "I even attended the
boy's funeral, your honour."

219
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,280
I swear that's not why I'm here.

220
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,960
You lied to me.
You told me he didn't suffer.

221
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,120
Michael lied too, but
he lied for good reasons.

222
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:36,440
You lied for bad reasons, for
money reasons, or legal reasons,

223
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,680
or...God knows what reasons.

224
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,440
So please go.

225
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,640
'I was run over once
when I was a kid,

226
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,960
'and I lay there for a couple of
minutes wondering if I was dead.

227
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:20,280
'And then someone tried to move me
and the pain came flooding in.

228
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,960
'That's what it was like
when I realised that

229
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:29,240
'Rob's death was suspicious,
everything hurt.

230
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,120
'But I was alive again.

231
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,360
'But not Frank.

232
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:36,880
'He saw no good in such pain.

233
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,080
'He wanted it numbed...

234
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,320
'with booze.'

235
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,040
Can you just leave that, I'll
clean it up before I come to bed.

236
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,400
It stinks. And if I don't do it now,

237
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,240
it will still be here in the
morning! Look, I'll sort it.

238
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,880
I'm capable of moving an ashtray!

239
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,280
Yes. "Have you drunk all this?" Yes.

240
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,920
And don't even think
about bollocking me, Helen.

241
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,640
Today of all days,
don't even think about it cos
I've got a few home truths for you.

242
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,160
I'm listening.

243
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,800
It's about time you heard a
few home truths. I'm listening.

244
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,120
First,
nobody gives a shit that Rob is dead.

245
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,920
Nobody gives a shit so
you can shove your decorum

246
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,680
up your arse, shove your dignity up
your arse, cos nobody gives a shit.

247
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,760
Secondly, I am sick
of you looking down your

248
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,600
nose at me. I am sick
of you treating me like a child.

249
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,360
What you see here is grief.
This is acceptance of grief.

250
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:45,880
A mature and adult
acceptance of grief. Adult!

251
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,240
That's not what I see when I look
at you. I see a woman running round

252
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,560
like a blue-arsed fly cos she's
too scared, too bloody immature,

253
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,280
to face the fact that our son
is dead. ROBBIE IS DEAD.

254
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,160
You're immature, you're a big kid!

255
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,400
And all this Sherlock Holmes stuff,
this detective shite,
is not going to change that fact.

256
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,160
Since when has binge drinking
been the answer to anything?
No, no, no, you listen to me.

257
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,880
Time for me to do a bit of spouting,
a bit of pontificating. You're drunk.

258
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,720
'Sometimes when an ape dies
the other animals withdraw,

259
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,400
'stare into space,
refuse to interact with each other.

260
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,240
'We were worse than apes,
we turned on each other.'

261
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,120
You don't know what
grief is, because you're
too stubborn to feel it!

262
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,880
Sorry.

263
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,400
All those things we did with him
before he was, say, five...

264
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,640
I resented them.

265
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,480
I knew he wouldn't
remember them, see.

266
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,760
But after five...

267
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,320
traipsing round Alton Towers
and Disney,

268
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,200
fishing,

269
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,320
footie,

270
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,120
he'd remember them.

271
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:39,520
And 50, 60 years after us going,
he'd still remember them.

272
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,960
But he's gone before us.

273
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,440
And so have those memories.

274
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,720
And I feel...

275
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,360
I feel so cheated.

276
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,800
Sing to me.

277
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,200
I can't.

278
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Sing to me.

279
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:43,080
Oh, you are a mucky kid

280
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,880
Your face just like a dustbin lid

281
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,680
When he hears the
things that you did

282
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,720
You'll get a belt from your dad.

283
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,720
This is an inquest into
the death of Robert Ryland.

284
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Now, this might be
a little confusing to you,
but I'm opening and adjourning

285
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,520
this inquest, because
the Crown Prosecution Service
might bring a manslaughter charge

286
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,720
in connection with Robert's death.
And they might not, of course.

287
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,960
We'll re-open when they've decided.

288
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,000
Morning.

289
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,920
Good morning, 5R.
Good morning, Miss.

290
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,920
Now, if you could all get out
your planners

291
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,200
and turn to the week starting June.

292
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Miss. Yes, Tegan?

293
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,560
Miss, we got you something,
the class. We all got it.

294
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,720
It's a plant for your son.
It's an oak tree,

295
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,360
so it lasts a long time.

296
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,320
Is that all right, Miss?

297
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,760
Right, now... So if you could all
get out your planners...

298
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,560
I'm sorry, Helen,

299
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,920
but the Crown Prosecution Service
is not going to bring charges.

300
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,920
And that's it? Yes, I'm sorry.

301
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,400
So my son is killed
and no-one held to account,

302
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,760
no-one asked to explain.

303
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,680
Would YOU accept that?

304
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Michael. Sorry.

305
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,960
I don't know anything.

306
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,960
I'm sorry.

307
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,240
She's sat down.

308
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,640
She's sat down. Tell her to go.

309
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,800
If that had been you...

310
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,320
Do you want to move out?
Imagine it was me left like that.

311
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,080
You're always going on at me that
you're desperate to get out of
this dump! Imagine it's your mum.

312
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,200
If it was your mother,
would you leave her out there?

313
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,640
Do you want Ryan to be
the only kid that gets
walked to school in the morning

314
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,640
cause all the other mums
are too out of it?

315
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,760
She needs to know. You can't just
leave her in limbo, it's cruel!

316
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,800
Too off their head to walk their own
bloody kids to school. I don't want
that, and this is the price we pay!

317
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,320
You don't want to stay here, do you?

318
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:41,400
No. If we want Ryan to go to
a decent school in a decent area,
this is what it costs!

319
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,560
You're a lot of things, Michael,
but you're not cruel.

320
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,320
Will you help me, Michael? Yeah.

321
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,760
I've never had a job, not a proper
one with regular money and that.

322
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,280
We need to get out of that house.

323
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,360
We've been robbed twice this year.

324
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,640
I'm ashamed of what I did, but...

325
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,280
..I did it for Leanne
and I did it for Ryan.

326
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,920
On the day Rob died,

327
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,840
Alan Maxfield offered me
a permanent contract.

328
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,400
All I had to say was we'd been
trained to use that fork-lift truck,

329
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,120
but we weren't.

330
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:56,040
We had a five-minute demonstration,
that's all, and that's not training.

331
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,920
And I said in my statement
that we'd had a full Health and
Safety rundown, but we hadn't.

332
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,360
We could use Michael's statement
to go for review.

333
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,280
Review of the decision
not to prosecute.

334
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,000
But it's risky and expensive.

335
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,760
Your costs could be 15 grand.

336
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,200
15 grand! And if we lose... We won't
lose. 15 grand! But if we did,

337
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,680
you'd have to pay the other side's
costs too. Could you manage that?

338
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,600
If we win,

339
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,960
they prosecute Alan Maxfield?
15 grand. Yes.

340
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:34,720
We'll get a second mortgage.
We can't afford a first one, never
mind a second. We can. We can't.

341
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:37,240
We'll leave you to talk.

342
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,080
No, you're leaving her to talk.

343
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,240
You're leaving me to listen. Frank.

344
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,680
Who are you doing this for anyway?

345
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,320
It's not for Rob.
It's not going to bring him back.

346
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,640
I know. And do you think that
he would want this?

347
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,880
Do you think he'd want us
to get up to our eyes in debt
just for you to prove a point?

348
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,840
How dare you?

349
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,880
This is the fitted kitchen moment,
isn't it?

350
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,040
Man slices his dick off at work.

351
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,720
Surgeon says,
"You're going to get 40 grand comp.

352
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:23,320
"You can get the four-inch penis
for 20 grand, the six-inch for 30,

353
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,400
"or you can get the big
eight-inch penis for the full 40!"

354
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,600
He says he fancies the eight-inch,
but his wife's there,

355
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,320
so the surgeon says, just as that
lawyer has, "I'll leave you to talk."

356
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,040
Five minutes later,
the surgeon comes back.

357
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,640
"Have you made up your mind what
you're having?" The man nods.

358
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,360
"We're having a fitted kitchen."

359
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,040
I'm afraid we won't reach a decision
today, but we'll meet again
tomorrow.

360
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,520
What are you doing? Oxfam.

361
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:25,480
I use them. No, you don't.

362
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,240
When did you last play cricket?

363
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,920
You don't play anything anymore.

364
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,880
You don't do anything anymore.

365
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,520
You just...

366
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,840
sit in front of the telly
and drink and smoke...

367
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,240
and rot.

368
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,800
Thank you for your patience.
I realise we've been deliberating

369
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,040
for what may seem
an inordinate amount of time...

370
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,640
..but we felt it was crucial to
give this case proper consideration.

371
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:16,600
However, Michael Lang did not seem
to us to be a sufficiently
believable witness.

372
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:23,120
In view of this, we feel
a successful prosecution would be
very difficult. With this in mind,

373
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:29,080
we uphold the Crown Prosecution
Service's decision NOT to prosecute.

374
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,600
It's a fucker.

375
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,560
Tonight, I'm getting you
pissed and laid.

376
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,360
I've been married 20 years.

377
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,920
You'll be used to doing it
in that order then.

378
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,680
Beer and tequila!

379
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,680
I'm only staying an hour, Siobhan.
Ah, you're not!

380
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,600
Last night, my tight bastard
of a husband says to me,

381
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,360
"Get your coat."
I says, "Why, where you taking me?"

382
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,800
He says, "Nowhere, I'm turning the
bloody 'leccy off." So, if you go,

383
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,360
I'll have to go too, so come on!

384
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,040
Like there's no fucking tomorrow!
Like there's no tomorrow!

385
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,120
Aah... Oh.

386
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,480
I've got me mate back.

387
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,840
We're having another! No! Aye. Oh...

388
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,120
Oh, come on!

389
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,240
Oh, for God's sake!

390
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:49,880
Will I just do my own version?
Yeah!

391
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,080
Right, right, right, right, right...

392
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,880
A pair of knickers

393
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,360
With a stain between them

394
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:05,400
A spot of petrol
where you tried to clean them

395
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,160
A brothel sign that swings

396
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:17,360
These foolish things
remind me of you...

397
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,960
You may remember that last time
we met, I adjourned the inquest
into Robert Ryland's death

398
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,400
pending the
Crown Prosecution Service's decision
on whether or not to prosecute.

399
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,960
That matter is now settled, and so
I'm now re-opening this inquest.

400
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,760
I'd like to hear from
the family first.

401
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,640
Mrs Ryland, would that be
agreeable to you?

402
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,880
'Time and time again,
the law had failed us, but...

403
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,960
'I clung to the idea that
the inquest would right everything,
that the truth would come out,

404
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,560
'that Alan Maxfield would be held
responsible for my son's death.'

405
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,040
'All those courtrooms,

406
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,920
"all those knock-backs,'

407
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,800
but I still had hope.

408
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,400
I was like a battered wife,

409
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,400
getting hurt, but thinking,

410
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,840
"One last go.
This time, it'll be different."

411
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,400
Did Robert go out
the night before he died?

412
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,080
There was a match on Sky.

413
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,640
He watched it in the pub.

414
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,400
Where he had several drinks?
He didn't come home drunk,

415
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,600
so if you're trying to infer that
Rob was drunk the next morning,
forget it.

416
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:48,400
He went out with a tenner,
a tenner that I gave him,

417
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,520
and he came back with £5.40...

418
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,240
having spent £4.60 on
two pints of lager.

419
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:03,400
I know this because there was
£5.40 in the...plastic bag,

420
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,240
along with his phone and his wallet
and his other...

421
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,000
..effects.

422
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:21,880
Michael Lang is mistaken. Both boys
were given detailed instructions

423
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,640
on operating the fork-lift, and they
had two or three hours' training.

424
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:30,080
Now, whether they listened, whether
they paid enough attention...

425
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,920
I know that when they were outside
the office, Ryland seemed to be
cracking jokes all the time.

426
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,240
The door was open
and I found it distracting.

427
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,480
I'd just like to express
my deepest sympathies.

428
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,280
I know how hard it must be for you,
but I hope this verdict helps.

429
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,080
The verdict is accidental death.

430
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:54,320
I hope you find some comfort from
the fact that no-one was to blame
for your son's death.

431
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,600
Accidental death.

432
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,680
Blood drains. You know, you hear
people say that all the time.

433
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,800
"The blood drained from him."

434
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,760
Well, when you get told that
your son is dead,

435
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,880
the blood really does drain.
You can feel it drain.

436
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:32,280
You feel your veins widen
and the blood just drops.

437
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,720
And it drained again
when the coroner said

438
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:40,320
no-one was responsible for
my son's death.

439
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,080
Someone WAS to blame.

440
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,840
Alan Maxfield.

441
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,920
Have you ever been to Ibiza?
The Carthaginians founded it,

442
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,120
lived there till the Romans
wiped them out.

443
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,800
Then the Arabs settled there
for 500 years,

444
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,240
until the Catalans laid siege, tore
down the mosques and built churches.

445
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:53,000
How did you get in? The bohemians
arrived in the '60s and '70s
and turned it into a party island.

446
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,360
Rob was saving up to go there.

447
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,120
How did you get in here?

448
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,000
His swipe card.

449
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,080
It was in the plastic bag.

450
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,000
Another of his...effects.

451
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,880
All his mates knew about Ibiza was
clubbing, but Rob was different.

452
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,240
Yes, he'd stay up all night
dancing, but the next day,

453
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:16,960
he'd be wandering around the house
with a book in his hand.

454
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:23,160
And after he died, I found this book
on Ibiza beside his bed.

455
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,200
What do you want, Mrs Ryland?

456
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,840
I want you to say that you're sorry
Rob never got to Ibiza...

457
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:39,480
..that he never made his 21st,
or even finished his book.

458
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,480
Say he didn't need to die
in your warehouse,

459
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,600
that you coated him in so much...

460
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,880
..so much shit,

461
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,880
there was none left to stick to you.

462
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,560
I want you to say that
you are sorry for all that.

463
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,400
And when you have, I'll go away...

464
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,520
and get on with my life.
It was an accident.

465
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:18,560
There's no-one here but me and you.
It's just between us.

466
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,960
I need to hear it.

467
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,160
Just say...I'm sorry.

468
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,240
People say it all the time. They
bump into each other in supermarkets

469
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:45,280
and they say it automatically,
instinctively. "I'm sorry."

470
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,280
Even when it's not their fault.

471
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,040
"I'm sorry!"

472
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,680
My lawyer won't let me.

473
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:07,880
Oh...

474
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,600
Oh, Jesus!

475
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,000
Do you know who killed your son?

476
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,960
Shall I tell you who killed
your son, you stupid bitch?!

477
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,000
A billion Chinese,
half a billion Indians.

478
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,640
all working for a pound a day.

479
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,760
I'm paying 50 a day
and I'm supposed to compete!

480
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,800
That's who killed your son,
you stupid, mad bitch!

481
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:10,120
When you lose someone you love,
it hurts.

482
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,880
Of course it hurts.

483
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,680
But imagine losing them
over and over.

484
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,600
Every time the law let me down,
Rob died again.

485
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,920
There's only so many times
you can take that.

486
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,400
I teach, I'm used to being lied to.

487
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,960
But the difference between Alan
Maxfield and a child is that when
you confront a nine-year-old child

488
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:48,280
with the fact that they're lying,
they own up, they say sorry.

489
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:52,480
And when you've lost your child,
an apology

490
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,600
isn't all that much to ask.

491
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,400
I wouldn't be here talking
to you now if Alan Maxfield
had just said sorry.

492
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,720
My lawyer said that
saying all this to you was stupid,

493
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:10,560
that you'd throw the book at me.

494
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,200
Well, fine, throw that book.

495
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:19,160
The law's hit me so many times,
I'm numb,

496
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:20,880
I won't feel it.
To hell with the law.

497
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,720
Yes.

498
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,720
I can speak to you like this because
I've learned so much.

499
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:41,120
I'm an expert.

500
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,640
I've paid the highest tuition fees
in the world, you see...

501
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,760
..the death of my son.

502
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,360
When you go away
and consider what I've done,

503
00:53:55,360 --> 00:54:00,240
I'm asking you to reach a verdict
based not on law,

504
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:04,240
but on something
I've been thirsting for...

505
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,000
..something that Rob deserved

506
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,040
and never got.

507
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,600
Something I'm frightened

508
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,560
may no longer exist.

509
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,720
Justice.

510
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:28,040
I'm asking you to give me justice.

511
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:41,320
However sympathetic you may feel,
Helen Ryland stands accused of
a very serious crime...

512
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,480
What's going on here?
Who are you, please?

513
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,600
Frank Ryland, husband of the accused.

514
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:53,440
And, yes, this is to show my contempt
for this court, my contempt for

515
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,760
any court, my contempt for anything
to do with the law... Mr Ryland...

516
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,520
My wife said that
the law was a joke and I argued,

517
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,920
but not because I thought that she
was wrong... Mr Ryland. ..but because
I didn't have her courage.

518
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,640
If I had half the guts she has,
it'd be me in that dock.

519
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:16,560
Sorry.

520
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,680
Mr Ryland, have you finished?

521
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,240
I'm going to call
an officer of the court.

522
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:24,840
I'll deal with you when this case
is finished. Do you understand? Yes.

523
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:44,080
By her own admission, she set fire
to that warehouse and showed
a total disregard for human life.

524
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,120
Now, I'm not going to direct you
to return a guilty verdict,

525
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,840
but all the evidence...
# Desperado... #

526
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:56,120
Why don't you
come to your senses?

527
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,520
You've been out ridin' fences

528
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:04,120
For so long now

529
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,800
Oh, you're a hard one

530
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,800
I know that you've got your reasons

531
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,920
These things that are pleasin' you

532
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,880
Can hurt you somehow

533
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:25,120
Don't you draw
the Queen of Diamonds, boy

534
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,720
She'll beat you if she's able

535
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:31,080
You know the Queen of Hearts...

536
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,720
Jury's coming back.

537
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,600
Members of the jury...

538
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,440
are you agreed upon a verdict?
We are.

539
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:17,040
Do you find the defendant guilty
or not guilty of arson and
wilful destruction of property?

540
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,520
Not guilty.

541
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,480
And is that the verdict of you all?

542
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,120
Yes, it's unanimous.

543
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,120
Thank you.

544
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,240
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

545
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,360
Guilty?

546
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,960
Not guilty.

547
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:14,680
What?

548
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,680
Not guilty.

549
