Broadchurch (2013–2017): Season 2, Episode 6 - Episode #2.6 - full transcript

'Previously on Broadchurch.'

She says she forgives you...

about the pendant.

Why would I kill a 12-year-old girl?

Why was her pendant
found in your vehicle?

My DS was taking that bagged
evidence... back to HQ.

And... her car was broken into.

~ There's grounds for reopening the case.
~ Don't do this.

Oh, God. You're his wife.

I can't go on meeting you here, mate. People
will start getting the wrong idea.

~ What are you doing here?
~ I want to give evidence.



You want me to go in the
witness box, don't you?

Honestly? I'm torn.

You said yourself, somebody needs
to speak up for Dan. Well...

I'm his dad. It should
be down to me, you know?

Thorp AgriServices.
What is it they do?

Services to the
agricultural industries.

Oh, God, it's a furnace.

Do you still think
Lisa Newbery's alive?

There's a narrow lane about
500 yards in that direction.

This footpath and the lane were
both examined by Forensics

for tyre tracks and footmarks, but
they never got anything useful.

It's a long way to carry a
body without being noticed.

This stretch was never used
much, even by the dog walkers.

So the killer had enough
local knowledge



to realise the chances
of being spotted were low.

Other access points are
through those woods there.

What time's Tom due in the box?

Why have they called Tom?

Son's love for a father - that
sort of thing, I expect.

~ We could have got back in time.
~ Tom said if I was there

he'd ask from the witness
box for me to be removed.

God, I'm sorry.

~ Are you all right?
~ I walked through here
just before I found Pippa.

So how far are we from
where the Gillespies live?

Er... Just over three miles.

And you think Pippa's body could
have been brought through here?

That's what I always thought
but it was impossible to know.

It was spring so this whole
area was covered in bluebells.

And Claire Ripley's being sent
bluebells through the post.

Or she's sending them to herself.

Hiding it in a wardrobe in a guest
room, where it might be found.

~ Why would she do that?
~ To screw around with us.

It's what they all do - her and
Ashworth, even the Gillespies.

I don't think any one of
them told the whole truth.

The stress they've put you under,
do it to them and start with Claire.

It's from Lucy. Tom's going
in the witness box.

Do you get along with your dad, Tom?

I love him.

Has he ever made you do anything
that made you feel uncomfortable?

~ No.
~ Were you aware of any contact
between Danny and your dad?

No. Danny was my friend, not his.

The day Danny's body was found,
how did your dad behave?

Normally.

I got home from school
and he made me tea.

How was he the days after?

He was upset... like we all were.

Now, how did you get
to know Susan Wright?

Erm...

Right, I met her in the arcade.

I liked her dog, Vince.

She let me visit her caravan.

Have you ever met anyone
else in that caravan?

(Beth, listen.)

Yes.

Danny's dad, Mark.

~ What's he talking about?
~ Nothing.

(Why didn't Mark tell us about that?)

He said that... we could meet and
other people don't have to know.

What did you do with Mark?

We played FIFA on the PlayStation.

Did you ever talk about Danny?

Yes.

He said he was guilty.

Guilty of what?

He said...

Danny's death was his fault.

(What?!)

That's where you were all
those times I was calling.

It made me feel close to Dan.

(I'm sorry.)

It doesn't help me if I
don't know these things.

I never thought it would be
a part of this. I'm sorry.

Everything's a part of it, Mark.

What are you gonna do?

Try and take Tom Miller apart...

.. kindly, precisely, so...

.. the jury don't hate me...

or you.

~ Hello?
~ It's me.

~ I think we are done.
~ What?

I was protecting you from Lee,
you don't want that any more.

You keep changing your story about
what happened. This isn't working,

I need you to move out.

Alec, where are you? Let's
talk about this face-to-face.

~ No, I'm giving you 48 hours.
~ What's going on? You can't do that!

I can. It's over, Claire. OK?

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Oh, shit!

Tom, you know, don't you, that when
someone is found guilty of murder

they go to prison for
a number of years?

Yes.

You love your dad very
much, don't you?

He's a great dad.

But you know that telling lies,
even to protect someone you love,

is wrong?

I'm not lying for my dad.

Tom, I'm suggesting that that's
exactly what you are doing.

~ No.
~ Mark Latimer didn't say
he killed Danny, did he?

He said he was guilty.

Did he say he 'was' guilty
or he 'felt' guilty?

~ There's a big difference.
~ My dad wouldn't have killed Danny.

So let me ask you...

has every single word you've
said to this court

been absolutely, 100% true?

Tom?

I think so.

I'm sorry, 'I think
so' isn't good enough.

The court needs you to be certain.

This isn't about your dad. This
is about your friend Danny.

Because Danny can't speak
up for himself any more.

So our job is to find out what
Danny would say if he was here.

You see that, don't you, Tom?

~ Yes.
~ We all want justice for Danny.

So let me ask you again.

Has every word you've said
here been 100% true?

Did Mark Latimer say he 'was' guilty?

No.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Tom.

I want the details of the stalker
that was seen around the estate

in the weeks before
the girls disappeared.

And against my better judgement
I put all the statements -

four sightings in the
week before - on here.

~ Thank you.
~ Plus all CCTV collected from the case.

And there's a company
- Thorp AgriServices.

~ If we could send a forensics team -
~ Uh-uh. Stop.

No forensics teams, nothing
official. I'm pushing as it is.

Do not drop me in it.

Erm... I'm going into hospital
tomorrow - pacemaker.

Bloody hell.

Are you all right with that?

If anything happens,
I've made a will.

You are worried.

Have you told Daisy?

Phew!

Well erm...

.. good luck.

~ I miss you, Tess.
~ Oh, Alec, please...

I wish we could go back,
still be a family.

Right, these are the accounts
for the last seven years.

Oh, do you remember
ever doing any work

for a company called
Thorp AgriServices?

I don't think so.

I'm surprised you remember anything,
the amount of that you put away.

Are you still here?

Oh, that's a beautiful picture.

It's my favourite one of her.

And that pendant, is that the one
that was found in Ashworth's car -

~ the missing bit of evidence?
~ Yeah.

The side gate was open. Sorry,
I got a bit delayed.

Ah. Don't worry, I was just
about to... go outside anyway.

No texts, Lucy's not
answering her phone,

and Olly's not tweeting
court updates.

~ Well, maybe the court's still sitting.
~ I need to get back.

I need to know what's happened.

Did you ask Cate about
Thorp AgriServices?

Yeah, she denied all knowledge.

What are you doing?

Ah.

Do all the gardens have those?

No, it was put in by Lee Ashworth.

With Ricky and Cate's approval. Why
did they never have it removed?

It's for kids to go in and out of
each other's gardens, not grown-ups.

Lee and Claire didn't have any
kids. Why have they got that?

Are you all right?
What are you doing?

Has he told you what he's done?!

~ Yeah.
~ Oh, right. So he's sent you along, has he?

His pet, Ellie.

~ I just came to see how you were doing.
~ I put my life in his hands

and he dragged me here to
this shithole - hid me away!

I put my trust in him.
I've done nothing wrong

and he just drops me like that.

Can I come and live with you?

That wouldn't work - I live
in a tiny little studio flat

~ near the station in Devon.
~ What about your house in town?

~ No.
~ Why not?

~ I don't want you living there.
~ I thought we were friends.
~ Really?

I think you've been
playing all of us.

~ Why would I do that?
~ I don't know.

Well, I haven't done that.
I swear, I have not done that.

And he's just jealous because
I've slept with Lee.

Why would he be jealous?

Angry, OK? I meant angry.

Look, either you want protecting
from Lee or you don't.

You can't have it both ways.

I said, when I see him,
I just lose myself.

It's... it's the sex, Ellie.

It's just... something happens
when we're together.

Oh, please. Have a
little self-control.

Look, if you want to be my friend,
you tell me everything -

the truth, past and present -

and then maybe I'll have a little
word with with Hardy about you.

Fine.

I will. You come over and we'll talk.
And maybe I can do your hair.

~ What?
~ Well, it's... I-I haven't done
anybody's hair in a long time.

Please?

All right.

I told Chlo to stay home
with Lizzie today.

~ Maybe you shouldn't come either.
~ Nice try. I'm coming.

Tell the truth up there. We can't
have another witness unravel.

Now, what I want from you
is an exact written timeline

of who was where when
my son was beaten up.

I want to know the names of officers
and supervisors on duty

so I can make a specific
disciplinary complaint.

Oh, no, no, no.

It's not gonna take
any longer than that

because I'm not gonna
be off your back

until I know that he is
on his way somewhere safe.

And don't try and piss me about,
because I am relentless.

You've got 60 minutes.

(Prick.)

~ Morning!
~ Hi.

They're doing it. Mark Latimer
is going in the box.

~ Good.
~ Good?

This is what you've been
aiming for, isn't it?

Do you wish to swear or affirm?

Affirm.

Please read the card.

'I do solemnly, sincerely
and truly declare

and affirm that the evidence
I shall give...

shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.'

(What the living fuck.)

Are you sure you want
to be here today?

I want to know what's
being said about me.

Mr Latimer, how well do
you know Nigel Carter?

Very well. He's worked
with me four years now.

Do you trust him?

With my life.

And my son's life.

So what do you say to the accusation
that Susan Wright saw Nigel Carter

carrying your son's body
the night of his death?

She's obviously got two bald blokes
mixed up, cos it wasn't Nige.

Since Danny's death, have
you been meeting Tom Miller?

Yeah, I have.

I was trying to help
him through this.

But I should have thought
it through a bit more. It...

It looks a bit odd.

Did you tell Tom Miller...

.. that you were guilty
of killing your son?

No.

I said I 'felt' guilty...

.. because I wasn't there for Dan.

Where were you on the night of
your son's death, Mr Latimer?

I was with Becca Fisher - the
owner of the Traders Hotel.

Were you having an affair?

No.

It was the first time anything
had... happened.

Did you have sex that night?

~ Yes.
~ Where?

In her car.

Then what did you do?

Then she drove me back
to the cliff-top car park.

I picked up my car and...

we went our separate ways.

And did you go home immediately?

No, it was...

about an hour, an hour
and a half later.

Where did you go during that time?

Mr Latimer, where were you?

I drove through the vale.

And I parked up on the hill.

And I started writing this
- I dunno - note, letter.

A letter to whom?

To Beth, my wife.

Why would you be writing
a letter to your wife

at that time of the morning?

I was saying it was over.

That I'd met someone else,
that our marriage was done.

I'd gone a bit mad. I was like...

.. like a kid of 14, giddy
with a fling. I'm not proud.

Come on, Beth. Come here.

Beth, come on. Come here.

Come here. It's all
right. It's all right.

It's not Mark. This is not Mark.
This is Joe doing this to us.

We won't let him win, OK?

~ Why are we waiting here anyway?
~ Just hang on for one minute.

Now, Ell, before you say anything -

~ I don't want to talk to you.
~ Sit down.

Sit down!

Do you see what you put
Mark and Beth through?!

He wouldn't be up there
if it wasn't for you.

I know you want to protect your father
but he is a murderer and a shit

and he deserves none of
your feelings for him.

Look what you ended up doing!

You lied, on oath, in a court of
law and I hope you're ashamed!

Are you? ARE YOU?!

Yes. Yes, Mum.

You are coming home with me
tonight back to the house.

~ No, we're not cos -
~ Yes we are because I am your bloody mother!

If I have to drag you kicking
and screaming, I will!

Your father has done enough damage
and I will not let him destroy us!

Do you understand?!

Yes, Mum.

Right, that's... good.

It's quite a coincidence that
neither you nor Nigel Carter

have an alibi for around the time
of your son's death, isn't it?

~ That's the way it was.
~ You admit that you were at the car park

next to the cliff-top hut around
the time your son was killed?

I was, yeah.

What's the distance between
the car park and the hut?

I don't know, 50 yards.

You were 50 yards away from
where your son was killed.

~ Yes.
~ At almost exactly the time he was killed.

Yeah.

So, from the hut,

it's possible that Danny
could have seen you

with Becca Fisher that night?

You need to answer, Mr Latimer.

It's possible, yeah.

Isn't it true...

that because Danny saw you
with Becca that night -

I said it was possible,
not that it happened.

.. that you strangled him
in that cliff-top hut -

~ No.
~ .. and then called your mate

and colleague Nige Carter
to dispose of the body -

~ None of that happened.
~ .. who was then seen by Susan Wright.

Not true! None of that is true!

And then you arrange these strange
meetings with Tom Miller

because you felt guilty that
his father was taking the blame.

I did not kill my son!

How did you get in to see Joe Miller
while he was in police custody?

~ I don't know what you mean.
~ Did you bribe a police officer?

My Lady, this has no relevance to
the evidence Mr Latimer can give.

It's fantastically relevant, My Lady.

You can wait, Miss Knight.

How did you get into
the cells, Mr Latimer?

The custody sergeant was
an old friend. He let me in.

Did you go there to threaten
Mr Miller to be silent?

Or to gloat that he was taking the
blame for a murder you'd committed?

No, it was nothing like that.

My Lady, I'd like to
raise a point of law.

I'm sure you would, Miss Bishop.

Members of the jury, would
you step out, please?

Tell me we didn't know any of this!

It's not in any statement,
any disclosure.

Mark just didn't tell us.

The investigating officers
in this case

have breached the PACE codes
of practice time and time again.

This is a fundamentally flawed
investigation, littered with errors.

The defence applies for
a stay of proceedings

on the grounds that there has been
an abuse of the court's process -

such that the defendant
cannot have a fair trial.

My Lady, I'm asking you
to dismiss this case.

'Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!'

'Wake up! Wake up!'

(I'm alive.)

I'll hear your submission
now, Miss Knight.

I'd ask for an adjournment

while we obtain statements
from the relevant officers.

Only then can I address whether
there has been an abuse

which prejudices this trial.

All right. You have your
adjournment, Miss Knight.

Talk to the officers concerned and I'll
hear full arguments on it before ruling.

Thank you, my Lady.

What?

~ A text?
~ Don't start, Miller.

You sneak off and send me a text,

knowing my phone won't
be on in the courtroom.

I'll give you money to shut up.

I'll give you more money
to be less of a knob.

I made it. I made it through!

~ Why didn't you tell me?
~ You'd only come and sit with me.

What is wrong with you?!

~ I do need a lift home later, though.
~ I can't.

I'm picking Fred up from Lucy's
and I'm bringing Tom home.

I can drive him.

~ What are you doing here?
~ Suddenly had a thought you might die,

I felt I had to drive
down and see you.

~ I've got this.
~ Right, OK.

I've spoken to the doctors.

They recommend you stay in.

Take me home.

Why is he throwing you out?

Because of you. Because you came
round and we had sex there.

~ Yeah, and you told him.
~ Mm-hm.

~ And what else have you been talking about?
~ No, we need to make a plan.

We had a plan...

and you screwed it.

Oh, you want to talk about
screwing, do you? Huh?

Well, go on!

Go on.

What are you gonna do, Lee?
What are you gonna do?

Do you want to strangle me?
Do you want to punch me?

Do you want to...?

I had to go and see Joe. I
had to look him in the eye.

I wasn't thinking about
the future, Beth,

~ I was thinking about what he'd done to Dan.
~ How is this a marriage?

You share nothing.

You keep everything
locked away from me.

Not from you. It's not about you.

Why isn't it about me?!

Why can't you make it
about me, just for once?

Why are we together, Mark?
Is it just because Danny died?

~ No.
~ Because if it is, don't bother.

~ I don't need you. I could do without you.
~ Don't talk to me like that.

Are you gonna write me a letter?

~ It's better than your endless talking
about it and nothing changing!
~ If you're gonna stay,

sort yourself out. Tell
me everything or piss off.

And, by the way, if this
trial collapses now

it's because of you.

I'm not myself when I'm with you.

I was worried when she wouldn't
put me in the witness box, but...

.. now I see what her plan was.

What do you reckon?

Do you think they'll dismiss it?

Do you think... Do
you think I'm winning?

You're guilty, Joe.

I thought you were on my side.

And I thought I could help you come
to terms with what you've done.

But... I don't see you taking
responsibility for your actions.

How do you think God would view that?

When I was a paramedic...

I saved a lot of lives.

God sees that.

~ He knows the good I've done.
~ It doesn't work like that.

You watched your son lie for you...

.. on oath, and still you're
trying to wriggle free.

I'm done with these visits.

Goodbye, Joe.

Paul?

Paul, don't walk away.

Paul?

All right, wiggy?

Still after that profile piece?

'Woman beneath the wig:
next legal hotshot.'

~ Hey? How am I doing?
~ Can you stop flirting with me?

I'm from London - I know
what you're doing.

Oh, right. OK.

Can you afford to buy me dinner?

So, tell me again.

I spoke to the officer
concerned. He did let Mark in

but Mark spoke to Joe
through the wicket only.

Said he'd known the
Latimers for 15 years.

So now he'll be suspended of duties,
pending an investigation.

Right, clear some space.

Well, move all these papers. Come on.

It's only carbonara...

~ but it's better than nothing.
~ It's great.

Sorry, why are you
cooking for us again?

Ha! Has she ever offered you any food

the whole time you've
worked with her?

~ No.
~ Ha! See?
~ I have.

~ You have not.
~ Well, what about those
Jaffa Cakes that time?

~ I bought those.
~ Did you?

~ You never change.
~ That's a good thing.

Now, Ben...

Jocelyn's got something to tell you.

~ Have I?
~ Have you?
~ Yes, she has.

Something she's been meaning to
say for a while, in confidence.

~ Tell him.
~ You only cooked so you could corner me.

Absolutely.

Get on with it.

My sight's failing.

I'm going blind.

~ What?
~ I have macular degeneration.

It started at the
centre of my vision,

like a... small... black hole.

At the beginning I...

I didn't think it was so serious
but it's steadily getting worse.

Which is why...

I need you to read and...

.. to record everything.

Which is why I stopped taking cases.

Well, until this one.

~ Are you... getting treatment?
~ Mm. I have injections,

which keeps it at bay.

~ For now.
~ I-I'm sorry.

Well, don't be. I mean, the
body lets down the mind,

the mind lets down the body.

It comes to us all.

~ Are you fit enough to
keep going with the case?
~ Yes. I am.

And don't you dare suggest otherwise.

I need this, Ben.

Eat your carbonara.

And you, stop looking so smug.

You're welcome.

Right. Well, this is you.

Mm-hm.

~ They've got nice rooms here, haven't they?
~ OK, Olly,

~ what I'm about to say - it's
not about you, it's about me.
~ Oh, right.

It's just I haven't had sex in ages

and I really feel
like I've earned it.

~ Oh, right.
~ Where do you live?

~ Because I cannot have my
boss finding out about this.
~ Er...

~ That way.
~ OK. Come on, then.

I can't be long, I'm picking up Tom
again. Taking him home, finally.

~ You must be relieved about that.
~ Yeah.

Him, me and Fred - home together.

~ Me and Lee are looking at a house later.
~ Really?

Yeah. Why wouldn't we?

~ So you kept your hairdressing stuff, then?
~ Oh, yeah. That's my magic bag.

Even when I had to leave with Alec,
it was the first thing I packed.

~ Got my portfolio, everything still in it.
~ Really? Can I see?

Yeah, have a look.

Ooh.

Look at you! Nice.

I scrub up well, don't I?

We were back there the other
day, near your old house.

~ Really?
~ Yeah.

I saw the river where they found
Pippa, walked through the woods.

I spoke to Cate.

~ Is she still drinking?
~ A bit, yeah.

I assumed that was since the deaths,
but was she always like that?

I don't want to speak ill of her -

not after everything
she's been through -

~ but she always had a posh glass
of wine in her hand. Made sure
you knew it was expensive.
~ Right.

Maybe it was because we
were renting off them,

but I just... always felt
she was looking down on us.

Well, me. Lee she just flirted with,
but everybody flirts with Lee

and he just flirts right back, so...

You don't think...

Did they ever have a thing?

I hate her.

Sorry, but I do.

He was never interested in her.
He's never looking to go older.

Younger, maybe, but not Cate's age.

Right, nearly finished!

Thanks.

Come on.

Right. Get some old clothes on.

~ What for?
~ First order of business,

we're gonna paint the bedroom where
me and your dad used to sleep.

~ I don't know how to paint.
~ Well, tonight's the night you'll learn.

We're gonna do the whole
house eventually.

This is ours, Tom.

You, me and Fred.

~ OK, just take it slow. Where are we going?
~ It's just here.

~ This is where you live?
~ Don't start.

Bloody hell, Alec.

It's very quiet but it's only a six
or seven-minute walk into town.

A five-minute walk to the beach.
Lovely area, great schools.

We can't do this.

Then what do we do?

Are you warm enough?

Right, two of these.

Why did you come?

Honestly?

I thought if you had died
and I never said that...

When the pendant was
stolen from my car -

When you were shagging Dave
while we were still married.

You took the blame.

You covered for me, just
so I wouldn't get the rap.

You're a good man, Alec.

They would have ruined your career.

I got away with mine... just.

I just wanted you to know
I loved you for that.

But not enough.

Where are you staying tonight?

~ On your sofa?
~ Have you seen that sofa?

Oh, it's your daughter.

Hey, Daze. Yeah, I'm with him.

Pretty shit.

No, much worse than normal.

She wants to speak to you.

Do you need me to...?

Hi, darlin'. Fine.

No, just a little bit of metal.

It's the first step to being
the Six Million Dollar Man.

What do you mean you've never heard
of the Six Million... What do they
teach you at that school?

Yeah, it's all fixed.

No more broken heart.

What? You are kidding!

~ Hi.
~ I don't want you in my house.

Well, bad luck. I'm shagging
your son tonight.

~ Where is he?
~ Sleeping. Snoring, hence me awake.

Olly!

~ You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
~ Oh, he's not that bad.

~ I mean, what you're doing to this town.
~ I'm just doing my job.

What, and you think
Joe's gonna get off?

Do you think this whole trial's
gonna be over tomorrow?

~ Hopefully, yeah.
~ I fucking hate lawyers.

Olly! Olly, will you wake up and
get this woman out of my house?!

No evidence was compromised, no
physical intimidation occurred.

We have a sworn statement from
the officer who was present.

My Lady, it was an
unfortunate incident

but the process of justice
can still flow.

This doesn't mean the defendant
cannot have a fair trial.

There have clearly been failings
in this investigation

and in the conduct of officers,

but I am satisfied

that the defendant can
indeed get a fair trial.

So I'm going to refuse
the application.

Thank you, My Lady.

I'm not losing to her, Abby.

We're gonna fight
till the bitter end.

I think I might have something.

It could be juicy.

Well done! You got it back on track.

The power of a good carbonara.

Still a lot of work to
do. Oh, by the way...

I got you both this.

~ Wonders will never cease!
~ Yeah, well, thank you very much!

~ Hello?
~ It's Andrew Darlington from the care home.

Oh, I'm at work. Could

I-I'm afraid she passed away.

I was expecting him to answer.

~ He's asleep.
~ Listen, tell him the trial's still on.

Claire Ripley showed me a photograph.

She was wearing Pippa's pendant.

Can you get hold of it?

It's in her portfolio at the cottage.

Not here. Someone might see.
