35 Awr (2019) s01e05 Episode Script

All those in favour of Lynwen as foreman raise your hands.
Congratulations.
- Have we met? - A while ago.
At the hospital? Sorry, Steve, I meet so many people every day Yes, but it's not every day you kill someone, Mr Matthews.
Something doesn't make sense.
I won't ignore everything to deliver an easy verdict.
Just thinking that someone was watching me - Who would do that? - Was it you? - Was it me what? - Don't give me shit.
Where is it? It's not our job to identify everyone who's involved.
Our concern is Kelvin's guilt.
Help, please! The evidence we've been given points to only one verdict.
Guilty.
- So, why are we here? - Right, are we all ready? 9 HOURS TO GO Right, are we all ready? Fancy a walk, Haydn? I'll look after you.
Um it might be an idea for me to have some fresh air.
I don't need company.
You carry on.
We can't, not without every member of the jury in the room.
Bloody hell, come on.
Some of us want to go home tonight.
- Yes, come on, guys.
- Someone should go with you.
I'm not a five-year-old.
- I'll go.
- Thanks, Steve.
No, it's OK.
Carwyn's right.
We must get on.
I'm fine.
I wanted to start with you.
- Me? - Yes.
Most of you have changed your minds more than once, on the whole.
But you've been solid from the start.
I thought it might be worth us hearing why.
Well, yes, um I think that you may have heard enough from me.
It might be time for others to have their say.
Some have hardly contributed anything to the discussion.
- That's a personal choice.
- It's not right.
Some having to bear the whole burden.
People should be encouraged to vent their opinion.
Why are we here otherwise? OK.
I think that Kelvin is just like you and me.
One minute, he was innocent then something happened to change that.
It only takes a second for a ordinary person to cross the line and kill someone.
Jesus, Haydn, you're a train wreck today.
So, you think that the defendant is guilty.
I think there's truth in what Val said.
What did I say? That imprisoning him is the only option.
If we free a potential killer we could, in theory, be responsible for other deaths.
Oh, bloody hell.
When you put it like that, I don't want blood on my hands.
When he says it, you listen.
Look, aren't we more or less agreed? - Most of us think he's guilty.
- Can I say something, please? Matt I'd like you to consider something before we go any further.
As you can see, there are doubts about some of the police's facts - about the night Heulwen died.
- Oh, God, here we go We haven't looked closely enough at Kelvin's statements - or discussed the inconsistencies.
- Matt has a point there.
I've told you.
Kevin doesn't understand half of what he's said.
Kelvin told police that he broke in to Heulwen's house.
Why would he break in when he knew where they key was kept? A WOMAN LAUGHS He and his brother had been doing odd jobs for Heulwen for years.
She trusted them enough to leave the key in the flowerpot.
It would be easy enough for Kelvin to just walk in any time he wanted.
Wait a minute.
The fact that Heulwen trusted him doesn't make him innocent.
It only makes the situation sadder, if anything.
That's the first statement, one of several versions.
I reckon the cops told him what to say.
Or his mind's playing tricks, voices in his head.
It's possible, isn't it? The psychological reports suggest he wasn't compos mentis - when he made the statements.
- Exactly.
And when they questioned him again, he changed his story.
In his second statement he said that he broke in through the kitchen window.
But police said that every window was locked from the inside.
Well, if there was no sign that the window had been opened that's a false statement.
And if Kelvin lied about that, he's clearly hiding something.
Not necessarily, it just means he's confused.
- Classic unreliable narrator.
- What? Hold on, I haven't finished yet.
There was a third statement.
Last Monday.
Goodnight then.
- I enjoyed tonight.
- Me too.
Call again soon.
In court, he said that Heulwen opened the door for him.
As simple as that.
He knocked, she answered.
Oh, Kelvin, love, come in.
Three statements, each contradicting the others.
One of them might be true, none of them might be true.
But in none of the statements does he deny being there, Matt.
No, but if you look at document 14 This brings us back to the traces of DNA on Heulwen's cardigan.
They didn't belong to Kelvin.
We've discussed that someone was there helping him.
This John.
Never mind if he was helped or not, he did it.
I honestly don't believe that.
What if Kelvin just happened to be there DOOR SQUEAKS and saw someone else killing Heulwen? But who else could have been there, really? Leighton! Not that stuff about Leighton.
Leighton's DNA was everywhere because he worked for Heulwen.
He knew where the key was, just like Kelvin.
- Why would he frame his own brother? - Well, maybe he didn't want to.
- Maybe it was his girlfriend, Susie.
- But they gave each other an alibi.
Exactly.
Kelvin and Leighton lived together happily before Susie turned up.
- Do you want a can, Kelv? - No.
Come on, I don't want to drink by myself.
No.
I don't drink, OK? Jesus, lighten up, will you? I haven't touched it for ages.
Leights would go nuts with me.
Leights isn't here, is he? Don't be a bore, Kelv.
Don't waste it.
Good boy.
He won't be back for ages.
Cheers.
What the fuck are you doing? Stop it.
You know he'll kick me out if I turn into an alky again.
I don't want to be that person any more, OK? Stop it, Kelvin.
Kelvin, stop! I won't let you spoil everything.
- Shut up, Kelvin! - It won't last, Susie.
Come back, you little twat.
I want cash for that can you wasted.
FRUSTRATED SHRIEK SCREAM .
8 HOURS TO GO Kelvin mentioned his brother in every statement he made.
About not letting him down, how his brother meant everything.
Is it because he's covering for his brother that these statements make no sense whatsoever? Did you get my text, babe? Are you OK? Come on, what's wrong? Did Kelv do this to you? Uh-huh.
He's started to drink again.
He could have killed me, Leights.
Right, where is he? Dunno.
Where are you going? He probably went running to Heulwen.
You know how she is with him.
Treats him like a baby.
Susie was determined to turn the brothers against each other.
Whoa now, Matt.
Are you talking about Susie Denton? She wasn't accused of anything, was she? She wasn't even called as a witness.
She knew the brothers better than anyone.
- That was her big advantage.
- What advantage? Kelvin had been drinking on the night of the murder.
Yes, but He hadn't touched a drop for two years.
Why did he drink that night? Hold on now, Matt.
How do you know all this? This information It was out there, in the public domain.
- What do you mean by that? - There were photos, comments online.
Oh, my God.
You sent her a friend request, didn't you? Bloody hell, Matt.
- Sorry, what? - It's not my fault if Can anyone explain to me? Matt found Susie on social media after reading about the murder then sent her a friend request to access her personal details.
- Am I right? - This was before the trial began.
There are no rules against that.
You can send a friend request to anyone.
It's up to them if they accept it.
She was posting weeks before the murder.
Fed up with the lodger in our house, things have got to change terrified in my own home.
Anyone could read those comments.
She posted a photo of her bruised face on the day of the murder.
Oh, my God, you sick fuck.
Do you follow everyone in murder cases? Sorry, it's all there.
The divide between the brothers, the arguing, the drinking.
She could have been making the whole thing up! People don't tell the truth on social media.
Dick! Matt what you're talking about is against the rules.
OK.
I'll come back to the facts, if that's what you want.
The evidence.
It's to do with John.
John is constantly referred to as the other person involved in Kelvin's case.
But the police have never found John.
Kelvin, you are OK, aren't you? It's just I've seen you outside several times now talking to someone.
With John.
- Is he a friend of yours? - Yes.
My best friend.
Best friends are important.
Sometimes Sometimes, he makes me do things.
- Things I don't want to do.
- Like what, Kelvin? Nasty things.
- Hurting people.
- Maybe you should ignore him.
He doesn't want us two to be friends.
- Why not? - No.
John, no! It's alright.
There's no-one there, OK? - Nobody at all.
- No, John's here.
He's always here.
No, he isn't.
He's in there.
He's in there.
And there's nothing wrong with that, as long as he stays in there, OK? What? Are you saying John doesn't exist? Yes.
And the psychologist said something similar.
Document 15.
Prone to delusions.
We can't prove John's existence one way or the other, Matt.
But no-one's seen him.
No-one has spoken to him.
No fixed abode.
That's because he lives inside Kelvin's head.
Um, I've got a daughter who has a condition.
So, I know from experience what it's like.
To that person, these other people exist.
They are completely real.
Lots of kids have imaginary friends.
I had one when I was small.
Meryl! She was a hoot! This is different, Val.
A so-called normal child knows that their imagination has created this person.
But a child with a mental condition can't comprehend the difference.
Who does she think she is, eh? Talking to you as if there's something wrong with you.
As if you're not right up there.
Teach her a lesson, Kelv.
Go on.
Do it.
Kelvin? What are you doing? So, if John doesn't exist Hold on, this is just Matt's theory.
Some can't tell fantasy and reality apart.
- I'm not sure I can by now.
- This is all nonsense.
Discussing if someone exists or not.
That's not what the court asked us to do.
Maybe we don't exist either.
Maybe we're a fantasy in Kelvin's head, his inner jury.
Stop it, this discussion is daft enough as it is.
If it's true, why so little emphasis on these delusions in court? Because they want you to look the other way, dipshit.
What? Do you agree with me? I mean, it makes sense for the police to keep this John in the frame as a suspect.
He's still Kelvin's friend, in his head or not.
Same thing really, innit? But if this is true, does it change how we think about the case at all? John or no John.
It's not a deal-breaker, is it? It depends if John was a good or a bad influence, doesn't it? Kelvin? Teach her a lesson, Kelv.
Kelvin, are you OK? Go on.
Do it.
.
7 HOURS TO GO BURP - Ooh, that pasty was a bad idea.
- Carbs are good for a hangover.
Where is everyone? Didn't you say two o'clock? Who's missing? Haydn, Ree.
- Has anyone seen them? - Canteen, maybe? I'll go and look.
Thanks, Steve.
What happened to your bag? Give it back.
- Not until I've seen what's on it.
- Do you want me to report you? - I don't think you will.
- Try me.
While you're at it, tell them you filmed a jury in a murder case.
That'll go down well.
- Lynwen wants us back.
- Jesus, a minute, OK? Not possible, sorry, Ree.
The boss says so.
We need to get on, make the right decision.
People have to be made to pay, don't they, Haydn? Right, if everyone's agreed I think we need to disregard any information we have that hasn't arisen from the court documents.
- Oh, come on now! - Let me finish, please, Matt.
In accordance with court guidelines we can't take into account anything that's been said about Kelvin or Leighton Roberts outside the court.
What we've heard this morning has confused us - and I'd like to start over.
- All we do is start over.
Start over in the sense that we try to answer one simple, fundamental question, OK? That question is Is Kelvin Roberts guilty or not guilty of murdering Heulwen Morgans? Right, for the last time, hopefully.
Guilty? Anyone else? OK.
Not guilty? Right.
Nine to three, guilty.
- The judge won't accept that.
- That's the best we can do for now.
If one person changed their minds, just one we could ask the judge to consider that.
Ten to two has been accepted in trials before now.
And we're so close.
If any of you have any doubts maybe you should consider it.
That way, we can all go home.
- Come on, one of you, shift, please.
- Why should we? You shift.
Ree, as you said, it's all nonsense anyway.
Just agree, eh? Then we can all go home.
We only need one person.
Oh, whatever.
I don't give a shit.
Why not? - Guilty as charged.
- So, you're changing your vote.
What's it worth? Eh, Haydn? Your vote isn't a bargaining chip.
We've got a majority vote.
Actually, no.
I'm sticking to my guns.
Soz, Carwyn.
Right, I'll call the clerk.
What's going to happen now? Hung jury.
A retrial.
All this will be for nothing.
So, that's it? Job done? What else can we do? God knows what's taking them so long.
You're guilty as sin, aren't you? Kelvin? Kelvin? Kelvin, love, come out.
KNOCK ON DOOR CONTINUOUS KNOCKING As the vote is so close, the judge kindly requests you to keep talking.
- Oh, bloody hell! - In the hope of making it ten to two.
Not more talking? The judge knows it's been a long day.
He's happy to continue tomorrow.
We'll arrange a bus.
- Not back to the hotel? - Of course.
- But I thought - I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.
But if you haven't reached a verdict there's still a threat to your safety.
Because you haven't found Leighton Roberts? Sorry, everyone, I'm out.
I've got three kids.
Tell the judge to find a new gang of muppets to do the job.
I must go home.
I want to talk to someone.
With all due respect, I only came out of hospital last night.
David won't know what to do if I don't go home.
Please, I'll be back soon to lead you to the bus.
I know no-one believes me, but Leighton Roberts is dangerous.
He could kill one of us just to stop the case.
- A bit dramatic, don't you think? - Then why are we back in that hotel? - If he isn't a threat - SENT MESSAGE TONE TEXT ALER Fuck! Leights, come back.
Leights! .
6 HOURS TO GO I think you and Mike can go home now.
We're pretty sure he's not in the area any more.
- We should be OK with Jeff tonight.
- Righto, sir.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks.
Nadine? Um I've got something for you.
This fell out of your bag earlier.
I didn't want to give it back in front of everyone.
I do understand.
If you want to talk Well, between you and me, I'd rather share with you.
You can't get a word out of that blinking Ree.
Hey! It's not that bad.
I'm not touching a drop tonight.
Best behaviour, I promise.
It's not you, Val.
I just want to go home.
It's only one more night.
Glwys depends on me, and I've let her down, coming here.
Treating it as a break.
My first break in nine years.
Don't, love.
Everyone wants a break from their children.
It was just me and her.
For so many years.
Her father left us because he couldn't deal with how she was.
Then I married Nick, thinking I could fix everything.
He doesn't understand her.
The boys are his world.
God, anything could happen to her.
Come on, love.
Why don't you talk to Stewart? Ask if you can go home for a while? - He won't agree to that.
- If you don't ask, you don't get.
KNOCK ON DOOR Sorry.
Am I disturbing you? I had hoped to have a nap.
I did a routine op on this woman.
Gall bladder.
I wasn't supposed to do it, but we were understaffed.
I made a mistake.
She died a couple of hours later.
Her son tried to bring a case against me.
The hospital backed me, said that I did all I could.
But I didn't.
I was a bloody mess that day.
Steve.
It's Steve.
The son.
Haydn, you have to tell someone.
Tell Stewart.
He can't threaten you like this.
The thing is - I did kill her, in a way.
- Haydn, you were just doing your job.
Everyone makes mistakes.
What's your worst mistake, eh? In your job? - Well - Did someone die? No, I didn't think so.
So, you think that Steve's involved with filming on that phone, do you? No, it's Ree who filmed you.
She's filmed us all, I'd say.
Ree? Why would? I don't know.
She's up to something, and whatever it is I'd say it's on this laptop.
Hiya.
Yep, I know, OK? I'll have it by tonight, trust me.
Yes, I can do this.
It's not over.
Just listen, OK? - Only for an hour or two? - Sorry, Mererid, it's not possible.
The letter we had said that if a family crisis arose This isn't a crisis.
Do you have children? No.
Well, if you did, you'd understand.
- My duty is to keep you safe.
- And mine is to keep my family safe.
Glwys isn't like other children.
She's fled from the house when I wasn't there.
Walking on a road in her pyjamas.
She's nine.
Listen, give me a chance to sort things here, then maybe maybe we can find a way.
Sorry.
Thank you.
- What did you do to him? - Um, I nothing.
Was he with Heulwen? Yes.
I'm going to bed, OK? White wine, please.
And a tequila shot.
- Tequila? Before supper? - This is supper.
Do you want one? - I'm not sure.
- Two tequilas, please.
There must be a way to get the data off the hard drive.
Let me look it up on your laptop.
Password? Caleb.
That's Caleb.
My nephew.
Right.
- How old is he? Your nephew? - Eighteen.
- Is she flirting with him now? - Can't see it myself.
Beauty and the beast.
Yes, well, you can't always see what makes people fancy each other.
Taz? Sorry for what I said yesterday.
Oh, forget it.
No, I'm not that kind of person, just so you know.
I saw a photo of him on your phone.
Len.
I've seen him around, you know.
Out clubbing.
You haven't - been with him? - God, no! Give me some credit.
Wouldn't touch him with a bargepole.
Moira? Moira! Nice one, Taz.
Right, I'm going up.
Are you coming? Um, I It's so nice to just have a cwtch.
Um, look maybe you should go and lie down.
Yes, good idea.
A very good idea, Carwyn.
Do you like lying down? Um I'll help you upstairs, shall I? Matt's your man.
He understands computers.
You're right.
I'll take this to him now.
Um, that boy? Caleb? I don't recall you mentioning that your sister was pregnant.
It was just after we split up.
Right.
Shit.
Matt! You can't run forever, Haydn.
I'm getting married in a week.
You don't want to, do you? I should have given you more credit, really.
It's you, isn't it? You're the fox.
I've got a problem.
Come here.
Go away.
When you left me, we were trying for a baby.
- I'm sick.
- Eighteen? Just a coincidence? Joanne has had a bad car crash.
- She's dead, Carwyn.
- Nadine, stop.
Your sister doesn't have a son.
I found her online.
- She has two daughters.
- Is anyone here telling the truth? You have to put a stop to these things, Moira.
Before they stop you.
