Broadchurch (2013) s02e05 Episode Script

Previously on Broadchurch Did you recognise the man carrying the body? - Yeah, I did.
- And can you name that man for the court? Nigel Carter.
He's my son.
There's gonna be a charity in Danny's name.
There's a small group.
They work with known sex offenders.
A girl's body is still missing.
The killer's walking free.
That case is tainted.
Nobody wants to go near it.
That's my failing.
I've got to put it right.
- I said I was with Lee all night.
- Was that true? No, I was at a friend's house.
- Claire, what happened that night? - He drugged me.
I woke up at 5am and he was cleaning the whole house.
- I was sorry to hear about you and Ricky.
- It was a long time coming.
Even the moment his daughter was being killed he was shagging one of the bridesmaids.
You were at the wedding together? You said you were together that night.
You never mentioned that.
Ricky.
You leave Cate alone.
Why would a father not want an investigation to restart into the death of his own daughter? What if Lee Ashworth didn't do it? Come in, sweetheart.
She won't bite.
Hey.
- You're not gonna cry, are you, Mum? - No.
- Don't talk to your mum like that.
- It's all right, it's fine.
Thanks, Luce.
- Thanks for agreeing to see me.
- Aunt Lucy said I had to.
How's school? Tell me about the trial.
Really? What, you think you're gonna come over and we're not gonna mention it? Right, OK, er Well, it's hard seeing your dad there.
If you're so sure he did it, why is he pleading "not guilty"? I wish I knew.
But I think because he's scared and I think because he can't bear to face up to what's happened.
People do that.
Well, you've got it wrong.
Tom, I know you want that to be true and I know you blame me.
But your dad killed Danny, and if I could have spotted what was going on or if I could go back and make it un-happen, I would, but I can't.
Who is on his side? Who's speaking up for Dad? You don't have to worry about him.
He's got a good barrister.
But ermwhat I wanted to suggest was that you came back to live with me and I give up the flat and we go back to the house.
No.
- Would you just listen for a moment? - No! I am not going back.
Well, soon, yeah? No.
OK.
Can I at least have a hug? I love you, even more than chocolate.
You don't have to come with me to question this woman.
No, I want to.
My life's all gone to shit.
At least fixing your mess gives me a distraction.
Are you gonna move back in here? Only when I've got Tom back.
Are we going or not? Where did you say you were from? South Mercia Police.
We're looking at an old case.
On 14th of April, 2012, were you the bridesmaid for Martin and Esther Kelly's wedding at Longthorne Hotel? I don't know if that was the date but I was at that wedding.
Did you have sex with a man called Ricky Gillespie that night? Wow, you don't mess about.
You mean Ricky whose girl was killed? - Yeah.
- No, I didn't.
I mean, he tried it on.
He was after me all night.
He even followed me to my room when I went to change my shoes, cos my heels were killing me.
And he had this little silver hip flask.
He kept trying to make me have a drink with him.
But I threw him out.
A bit much.
He was there with his wife.
The last I saw, he was heading back through the car park.
- How long was he in your room for? - Five or ten minutes.
I didn't see him for the rest of the evening.
So Cate Gillespie was wrong.
Ricky wasn't with another woman.
But nobody saw him for two hours.
Where was he? And who takes a hip flask to a wedding? Do you think he was gonna drug her? We never had any reports of him trying that sort of thing with anyone.
Well, Claire said that's what Lee used to do to her.
Do think it's something all four of them used to do? I don't know.
When we're done at court today we'll talk to her.
When was the last time you had your eyesight tested? What about your night vision? Ever had that tested? Never had a test.
But I eat a lot of carrots.
So, you have no idea how far you can see either in the daytime or at night? I can see the moon and that's a fair distance.
Hm.
Very good.
Can we turn to your son, Mr Carter? You hadn't seen him for 28 years, had you? I know what he looks like, if that's what you're getting at.
In Mr Carter's sworn statement to the police he says, "I don't even know who she is.
I don't want anything to do with her.
" Police got it wrong.
Police get it wrong all the time.
- It's a fact.
- It's not, actually.
I thought you'd prepped her.
- She's a bloody liability! - She wasn't like this with me.
Stick to answering the questions you've been asked, Miss Wright.
OK! When you first saw Danny's body on the beach, why didn't you call for an ambulance? A bit late by then.
You seem very certain.
Did you check? - Are you medically qualified? - It was obvious what had happened.
Why didn't you call the police? I didn't wanna dump Nigel in it.
Huh! How do you explain police forensics finding four cigarette butts with your DNA on them next to Danny's body? I've smoked a lot of cigarettes on that beach.
- And why did you take the skateboard? - I thought it might get nicked.
It did get nicked, didn't it? By you.
I thought the family would want it back.
Do you know who Maggie Radcliffe is? No.
The editor of the Broadchurch Echo.
Whose office you broke into around 11:37pm on the 24th of July, 2013, and whom you threatened by saying, and I quote: "I know men who would rape you.
" - What? - I don't I don't have that.
Not true.
What's not true? You don't know men like that or you do? I never said it! Why would she lie? - She's a journalist.
- Right! Journalists and police lie and you're the only honest woman here.
If you like.
Isn't it true that every word you have told this court since you stood up in the witness box is a lie? - No.
- You didn't see Nigel Carter.
- You saw Joe Miller.
- No! But you want to pin the blame on the son who's rejected you.
- No! - You've lied to this court time and again, just as you've lied to the police! No! Why should the jury believe a single word you say? You ain't all that.
I wouldn't have gone anywhere near her if I'd seen that! I know.
I'm sorry! Do you know what? Maybe if you spent a little less time trying to tell me how to do my job and a bit more time on your own work, we'd stand a chance of getting him off.
Chin up.
Did you enjoy yourself, lying in there? It's not my husband in the dock.
- I suppose you knew all along.
- No! Of course you did.
We all know.
- We all turn a blind eye.
- Not me.
That's not what happened.
Course not.
You just keep telling yourself that.
- Are you all right? - They'll always think I knew.
No matter what the verdict, they'll always think I was in on it.
Just give them time.
Oh, brilliant! Thanks for that shitty platitude.
That's fixed everything.
- Does Claire know we're coming? - No.
I want you to tell me what you told Miller about that night.
That was supposed to be between us.
There are no secrets between him and me.
Oh.
ls that right? Claire, I don't care what you've said before.
I want the truth now.
Right.
That night I went to see a friend, Marie, like I told you before.
Except I didn't stay over.
I came home and I had a drink with Lee.
And I think he spiked my drink with Rohypnol.
I was out for a long time and when I woke, it was morning, andhe was cleaning.
- What son of cleaning? - Bathroom.
Washing linen.
Hoovering.
Washing floors.
He said he fancied a spring clean.
So, he's drugged you.
Now he's cleaning the house, and the next morning two girls get reported missing from next door but you don't think to tell anyone? Well, I didn't wanna think it was possible.
And what about now? - Do you think he could have killed those girls? - No.
This is now the third version of that night that you've come up with.
- Why couldn't you tell me this before? - I didn't want you knowing what he used to do.
What are you doing? Whose number's that? I don't know.
It was an incoming call.
- I think it was a wrong number.
- It was an outgoing call.
Because I called it back to check and it just rang and This area code, that's where you lived with Lee.
- Now I feel I'm being questioned.
- Too bloody right! You were my key witness and now you say you were lying all along.
- No, I'm not lying! - What, then? - Trying to protect him.
- Him or yourself? That's not fair! So this is now definitively, this is now what happened that night? Yes.
Really? Claire? There is erm He was here when you went away and we had sex upstairs.
- What? Claire! - You left me alone, Alec.
And you, I've told you, he's like a drug to me.
I can't stop myself! I can't! - Come on, Miller.
- Are you going? - I don't wanna be on my own.
Please.
- Child care.
Sorry.
- But what happens now, then? - Miller! The thing we were speaking about - meeting reformed sex offenders.
- I've managed to arrange it for you.
- Oh, right.
That was quick.
You still want to do it? I think so.
I don't know.
I'm a bit scared of it.
Maggie and I will be there too.
Look, I know you've got a lot on with the trial, so if you wanna delay No, no, it's good.
What about Mark? I'll talk to him.
OK, I'd better go, but I'll let you know the details once it's all set.
- OK.
Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Aren't you a beautiful little girl, eh? You are, aren't you? You are, I know.
Yeah.
Little wriggler, aren't you? - Showing her the sights? - Yeah.
Telling her what's happening in court.
- She doesn't want to hear that! - Of course she does - she's interested.
Who's sticking up for us, who's telling lies.
How are you feeling? Yeah.
You know we talked about doing something in Danny's name? - Right - What have you got that voice on for? - I haven't got any voice on.
- Yeah, like you're not interested.
- Do we have to talk about this? - Why won't you engage with this? Because I don't understand why I don't understand why you need to do it, Beth.
I don't.
I really don't.
It's like you're picking at a scab, trying to make it bleed.
- What? - Look at what we've got here.
You know what it's like.
She'll be grown up before we know it and I don't want to miss that.
I wanna be here for her, every moment.
I'm here for her, but I can still think about Danny.
It's not one or the other.
I need to do this, Mark.
Fine.
I don't.
We sent you a letter asking you to be a character witness for Joe Miller.
- Joe's really relying on you.
- I've said no.
Joe Miller is guilty.
Well, has he ever categorically confessed his guilt to you? No.
Why not let the jury decide? Besides, if you're so sure about his guilt, why have you been visiting him? He told you? There's no secrets between a barrister and her client.
Like the Seal of the Confessional.
I went to see him because I believe in forgiveness and redemption.
I hoped to find a repentant man, but since you showed up that seems to have gone out the window.
You gave the service at Danny's funeral, didn't you? I did.
Do the Latimers know you've been visiting Joe? - What is this? Bad cop, bad cop? - Look I get it.
You don't want to give evidence, because you're worried the Latimers will feel betrayed.
No.
That is not it! "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
" Romans 3.
23.
You're not the only churchgoer here, Reverend.
Now, a member of your parish is in crisis.
Are you really gonna desert him in his hour of need? Have another think about it, would you? I like your church.
See? It's good to get out.
You spend way too much of your time around dead people.
Shall I just keep talking or are you gonna join in at some point? Beccathere's something I wanna tell you.
I've been visiting Joe Miller in prison.
Praying with him.
You're kidding.
I thought I could save him.
I thought he was repentant.
Repentant? Have you not been at the trial? Becca, I think I've made a mistake.
I just needed to tell someone.
Well, say something.
I feel like you've made me a part of it.
I've sent you those audio files of those documents read onto tape.
Oh, good.
Now I need you to read and record these as well.
- What? - Andthese.
And these.
- Please? - I can't! Well, you have to.
- Jocelyn, I have far too much else to do.
- Well, then, work faster! No! Read your own documents.
I'm not sitting up till 3am reading aloud so you can sit back with your eyes closed.
I can't work like this.
You're a bloody nightmare! I'm going hometo see my family.
I'll see you tomorrow at court.
Oh, don't give me that look! - How much did you hear? - Enough.
You haven't told him, have you? Mm-nn.
Ooh, bumper cars, Hardy! Ohhh! I think this is brilliant! Did you not know this was gonna be behind your house? The rental company forgot to mention it when I took it on.
Oh, Fred, we could go on the teacups, couldn't we? We could take Uncle Alec.
Ricky, what are you doing here? Is this really your gaff? Sorry.
Ricky Gillespie.
- Ellie Miller.
We work together.
- What are you doing here? Well, I came to apologise.
When Cate told me you'd been round, I overreacted.
A long way to come to say that.
I know Ashworth's down here.
You seen him? - You tell me where he is.
- Don't go near him.
That won't help anyone.
It's eating me up knowing that he's back in the country.
Listen, you really wanna help? Talk to Miller here.
She's going through the case looking to see if we've missed anything.
What do you wanna know? Ssssh! Waaah! Can't hide from me, mate! Tell me about your daughter Pippa.
She was my baby girl, you know.
She was sporty.
Good runner.
Played netball for the school team.
Demon at table tennis.
Competitive.
Didn't like losing.
Ah, we spoilt her.
Only child.
What did she wanna be when she grew up? It kept changing.
The last few months it was er hairdresser.
The night both girls disappeared, you were at a wedding with Cate.
And you were together all night? I had to look after her.
She was pissed.
Sign of things to come, eh? And tell me about Lisa.
She was my niece.
Tricky relationship with her dad.
Still uses her mum's surname.
- And she baby-sat for you quite regularly? - Every other week.
Sometimesshe'd stay over, other times I'd take her home.
- Did she have a boyfriend? - No-one regular.
Did you fancy her, Ricky? She was my niece.
I had to ask.
No, you didn't.
- You all right? - Fine.
How much did you look into Ricky at the time? He had a solid alibi.
He and Cate said they were at the wedding together.
But now she's changed her story and the florist confirmed it, looks like he's lying.
- Looks that way.
- So, who are our suspects? Got Ashworth, Ricky, Claire, and that stalker on the estate.
- Possibly Cate.
- Yeah, that's right - don't trust anyone.
You should go, Miller.
Take wee Fred.
Sleep.
I don't really sleep much at the moment.
And I don't like my flat and I wanna take a proper look at all your files.
Don't get pulled into this.
This case has done enough damage to people.
Not me.
I'm gonna solve it.
I'm gonna need your wall.
You all right out there? You gonna put your bears to sleep? She used to have a bear too.
I'm going for a walk.
Leave the key under the thing.
OK.
Oh, for heaven's sake! I need a lock put on that gate.
- You busy? - Of course I'm busy.
I'm in the middle of a trial! - What do you want? - Could you do my will? Anyone would think I was a high-street solicitor.
It's not exactly complicated.
So, everything to your daughter.
Held till she's 18.
Hm, lucky girl.
- You got kids? - Never married.
- That through choice? - What is this, a police interview? No.
Sorry.
Just conversation.
Well Things were complicated and I madeI made them more so.
I was at a point when I when I should have been strong and I wasn't.
And I missed the person I was supposed to be with.
Did you ever tell them? - No.
- Maybe you should.
Hm.
It's always easy to recognise mistakes in hindsight.
Much harder to fix them now.
Anyway, why do you why do you need this now? Just putting things right.
What's your sense of the trial? Susan Wright was a mistake for the defence.
It makes them look like amateurs.
Not going into the witness box is going to damage Miller's credibility.
He has got to be convicted.
I don't need you to tell me that.
I'll do the best I can with what I have.
Why won't she sleep? She's had two feeds.
Give her to me, come on.
I've got her.
You go back to bed.
There That's it.
That's it, that's it.
Ssh.
I know.
What we gonna do with you, trouble, eh? You're making all that racket and you're waking everyone up.
What we gonna do with you, eh? Sssh! Did you see this? Scribbled on the back of an old vehicle check form.
"Thorp Agriservices.
" What's that? Have you come across that before? And next to it, “Gary Thorp - Lee Ashworth?" - Have you been here all night? - Yeah, I suppose I have.
- Fred's asleep next door.
Sssh! - I need a cup of tea.
Ah, now, you're out of teabags and milk and I've used the last of the bread.
I couldn't find any note of Thorp Agriservices ever being cross-checked.
I don't think I ever heard of it.
Plus, I went through that stuff Lee Ashworth gave you.
It's all useless or irrelevant.
He's just trying to put us off the scent.
- How far did you ever look into Lisa Newbery? - How do you mean? The last use of Lisa's bank account was at 3:54pm on the day she disappeared before she went to baby-sit.
And the last call was made at 5:17pm on her mobile to her mum.
And then no more cash withdrawals or calls made after that, but her phone was on for another 18 hours.
The last signal triangulated in Portsmouth.
How the hell did her phone get to Portsmouth? Were any of our suspects near Portsmouth then? No, we checked.
We know all this.
OK, here's the thing.
Lisa killed Pippa by accident.
Got rid of the body and went on the run.
She did that and she's still alive.
You've got to admit, it's a possibility.
- You ready? Yeah.
Come on.
You're a prosecution rebuttal witness.
You are there specifically to rebut part of the defence case.
Hello, Mr Carter.
Was anyone with you that night? No.
- Did anyone see you? - No.
Sonobody can corroborate your story? Only the pheasants I poached.
Is this funny to you, Mr Carter? Not at all.
Your own mother identified you with Danny's body, didn't she? If I killed Danny, then where is my DNA on him, eh? Where are my prints at the hut? Who said you killed him? I'm not suggesting you killed Danny.
I am suggesting that you put his body on the beach where Susan Wright saw you.
- Isn't that correct? - No! - Thank you.
- Mate What happened? Tell me what it was about.
Were there witnesses? Do they know who did this? ls someone being punished for this? Are you getting proper protection now? Jonah, say something! Ever since I was a boy you said, "I'm your mum.
Tell me, and I'll make it all right.
" Why can't you get me out of here? No, mate.
It's not your fault, Nige, all right? You did your best.
All right, stop worrying now.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, bye.
That was Nige.
He's er He's all torn up about today.
I told him we weren't worried, so he shouldn't be.
Beth? I do worry, though.
I worry the jury will believe her.
I worry the truth won't be enough.
What? Did you tell Ricky Gillespie where I was working? No, why? Because he's come for me.
Here you go.
Oh, shit! Ricky, get off him! Ricky! Get off him! Get off him.
Come on! Do you think that will help? I got what I came for.
You're nothing! Are you gonna report it? No, what's the point? Is this where you're sleeping? The farmer said I could.
I quite like it.
I hear you saw Claire.
Did you? You two ever use Rohypnol? - Once.
- Where did you get it from? Ricky Gillespie.
He used to go to Amsterdam, bring back all sons of stuff.
- Ricky gave you Rohypnol? - He did.
Have you ever heard of a business called Thorp Agriservices? No.
You sure about that? Unless it's one of the businesses Cate did the books for.
Did you ever sleep with Cate? Bye, Mum! Bye, sweetheart.
Have a great day.
No.
The defence want the jury to believe that I killed Dan.
Got Nige to dispose of the body.
Don't they? Yes, that's clearly where they're going.
I was reading about another family.
They were saying the trial was as bad as the murder and I thought, "That can't be right.
" And then going in there every day, seeing our lives get turned inside out when all we did was love our son.
I get it.
You want me to go in the witness box, don't you? Honestly? I'm torn.
There's an hour missing in your account the night Danny was killed.
You don't need to protect me, Jocelyn.
You said yourself somebody needs to speak up for Dan.
Well I'm his dad.
It should be down to me, you know? - No Mark? - No.
They're here? Yep, they're inside with the group leader.
Why am I doing this again? Maybe this is too soon.
No, no, no, I can do it.
I can face them.
What? Hello.
I think you're in the wrong room.
I'm Tom Miller.
Joe Miller's my dad.
Of course you are.
I didn't recognise you.
- What are you doing here? - Why don't you wanna call me in court? I wanna give evidence.
Huh.
Good morning.
- What did you say? - Good morning.
- Isn't that what people normally say? - You talk about being normal That's my son! That's what they've done to him in prison! Don't you dare make this my responsibility.
No.
Course not! Cos life just doesn't touch you, does it? - All right, Sharon.
- Seven years I took shit from you! Seven years.
And the one time I ask you for anything, you don't raise a finger.
Why should I be always mopping up your mess? - What? - All the time you worked for me.
All those "poor me" single mother speeches.
Don't put this on me.
It's down to you and no-one else.
What would you know about being a mother? You're barely bloody human! A man died because of your boy.
Yes, he was trying to help someone in trouble.
- Oh, haven't we heard that defence before? - Why didn't you take his case? Because I didn't like you enough.
And I always knew you'd blame me if you lost, because that's what you always did.
Every time you didn't win, every time you missed out on a big brief, you always blamed someone else.
I had such high expectations of you.
You should have stayed retired, Jocelyn.
Because I'm gonna see that you leave that court a failure.
Thorp Agriservices.
I Googled it.
It's a business in the Sandbrook area five miles from the Gillespie house.
I need to go back there, visit this Agriservices place.
I could see where you found Pippa and the woods by the river.
Fresh eyes - that's what you wanted.
There you are! Don't you answer your phone? I've been looking all over the place for you.
What the hell's all that stuff? Excuse me.
This is my house! What do you want, Luce? I just want you to know I didn't know he'd done it.
Didn't know he'd done what? Tom's going to give evidence on behalf of Joe.
What? He went to see Joe's legal team without my knowing.
He can't do that without my permission, can he? Apparently, he can.
I tried to talk him out of it, but he's dead set on it, Ell.
- Ell - Just go away, Luce, go away! So, Lisa's phone in Portsmouth.
What do you do in Portsmouth apart from being in the navy or looking at ships? - Go on, dazzle me.
- You get a ferry to France.
- Portsmouth to Cherbourg.
- So? - So, who else was in France? - Lee Ashworth.
Exactly.
OK, this is the place.
What is it they do? Services to the agricultural industries.
I couldn't find anything more specific than that.
It doesn't seem like the son of place Lee Ashworth would be connected to.
So, what's he not telling us? It looks pretty closed.
It must have gone out of business.
Let's look round the back.
Are you gonna talk to Tom before he gets in the box? I don't wanna talk about it.
Eurgh! What's that smell? It's blood! What is that? Oh, look, here you go.
Oh, God.
It's a furnace.
Agricultural services - they burnt dead animals here.
You still think Lisa Newbery's alive? And if you take my hand Please pull me from the dark And show me hope again We'll run side by side No secrets left to hide Sheltered from the pain
