00:00To execute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:08Free drinks, cashews, lounge access.
00:10He was so trying to get into your nipples, Kirsty.
00:13It's a good job you've got a nut allergy.
00:15It's a good job I've got taste, Jamie.
00:17Which is more than going to be said for you.
00:19It's very much for being in love with Kevin.
00:22No, you know the rules.
00:23They talk about boyfriend's exam results or work until we're home.
00:27You all right, Deb?
00:28Is your throat still bothering you?
00:30I'm just really warmed.
00:32You're jokingly, it's freezing.
00:34I'm having a hot bath when I get in.
00:36Deb?
00:37Debbie?
00:38Debbie, what's the matter?
00:41Debbie, your nose.
00:44Oh, no!
00:45Debbie!
00:48Debbie, Debbie!
00:52Debbie, come on.
00:53Debbie, Debbie.
00:54We gave her three ampoules of naloxone, no response.
00:59Convulsion, severe bleeding.
01:0118 years old and she died of biventricular heart failure.
01:0518?
01:06And she died of a heart attack?
01:08Well, that's young.
01:09What was it, a coke?
01:11Heroin.
01:12Was she a regular user?
01:14No, she was a swallower.
01:18That's her bag.
01:19We found 70 heroin-filled condoms in her stomach.
01:25Did you say 70?
01:26Seven zero?
01:27She was pretty determined.
01:29Latex sticks in your throat.
01:31Gag reflex kicks in.
01:33You gag each one up six, seven times before it stays down.
01:37So the quantity killed her?
01:39No.
01:40One of the condoms ruptured.
01:48What, this is our swallower?
01:50Most of the swallowers you've had here are Africans, Jamaicans, people desperate to get into the UK.
01:57Why would a young British girl risk smuggling drugs like this?
02:00It's too dangerous.
02:01I don't know.
02:02Maybe the two girls I bought her in can tell us.
02:05They did a runner while we tried to resuscitate her.
02:08Excuse me.
02:12Good mates, then.
02:14You reckon they were mules as well?
02:18Don't know.
02:19Thailand.
02:22I bring back a stick of rot for my holidays.
02:26Same age as my Sarah.
02:29So what, about two kilos?
02:31Street value back here, about a hundred grand.
02:34Thailand cost four or five.
02:38Well, it cost Debbie Powell a lot more than that.
02:42Well, it cost Debbie Powell a lot more than that.
03:08I'll see you next time.
03:12Well, thank you.
03:20Bye-bye.
03:21Bye-bye.
03:22Bye-bye.
03:25Bye-bye.
03:27Bye-bye.
03:28Bye-bye.
03:30Bye-bye.
03:31Hello, sweetheart.
03:47It's all right, Susan. I've got it.
03:49Tell them they're too early, Jack.
03:52Mark Powell.
03:55I'm DS Matt Devlin.
03:57No, I'm Jack Gilmore. I have marketing side.
04:01How's that?
04:07I'm up on your side a bit.
04:09How do you get to be Foreman again?
04:18Mr. and Mrs. Powell.
04:20I'm Detective Sergeant Matt Devlin.
04:22This is DS Ronnie Brooks.
04:27It's about Debbie.
04:30No.
04:31Don't you tell me. Get out.
04:39Get out.
04:47I don't understand.
04:50How can Debbie be mixed up with heroin?
04:53We need to read people. We should make a list.
04:55It's your mum and dad, my sister.
04:57She'll want to come down. She'll need to book flights.
05:00We'd like to take a look at, um...
05:02Debbie's laptop. Check her email.
05:05Oh, my God, Amy.
05:06She should be at school.
05:07For God's sake, Susan, her sister's died!
05:09Debbie's dead!
05:11Debbie's dead!
05:15It's okay, I'll sit with her. I'll pull a DVD out for her.
05:18We're going to need to talk to Debbie's friends, Mr. Powell.
05:26The ones she went on holiday with.
05:28Okay.
05:29Kirstie Wallace and Sophie Martin.
05:34Well, they're not involved.
05:35They've run away.
05:36They've been friends since the first day of school.
05:38They left Debbie to die alone!
05:40We're going to need Kirstie and Sophie's addresses, please, Mr. Powell.
05:49Oh, sorry. I wouldn't know where to find them.
05:53I'll get them.
05:56I'm working to buy most of the year.
06:01Excuse me.
06:05She runs the kids everywhere.
06:10Sorry.
06:20You want those girls' addresses?
06:23And on that top's there.
06:25Don't worry. That can wait.
06:34I'll let her decorate it.
06:35Mark thinks I'll spoil it, but he's not here half the time.
06:45I think it looks very nice.
06:47We do everything together.
06:56Gym, shopping.
07:02You notice any changes in her recently?
07:05No.
07:05Yeah, there was something, but I don't know what it was.
07:15This is the first year she didn't come on holiday with us.
07:20She said she wanted to grow up.
07:21I had to beg Mark to let her go.
07:31Mrs. Powell.
07:34This isn't your fault.
07:39I suppose you must get used to doing this.
07:41I'll get you those addresses.
08:02You searched my house.
08:04There were no drugs there.
08:05Well, you knew we'd find you sooner or later, Sophie.
08:08What do you do?
08:10Pass them on to the person you were smuggling for?
08:13Dump them?
08:14I've got nothing to do with any drugs.
08:16Why would I?
08:19I want to be a lawyer.
08:20I can't do that if I've got a criminal record.
08:22Then why did you run from the hospital?
08:26I was scared.
08:27One minute we were talking, laughing, and the next...
08:32Debbie was...
08:34I've never seen somebody die before.
08:42Sophie, either you ran because you had drugs on you,
08:47or because you knew what Debbie was doing.
08:50I didn't.
08:50I swear I didn't.
08:52Look, she was my friend.
08:54Your friend prepped for this, Sophie.
08:57She'd probably been swallowing chunks of raw food for weeks beforehand
09:01because she had to widen her esophagus for this.
09:04She'd been taking relaxants to help her swallow them down without gagging.
09:08She dipped them in honey.
09:09She cut her throat raw, swallowing 70 of these.
09:14She knew what she was doing.
09:15I didn't know until the hospital.
09:38Debbie phoned her mum and dad from Heathrow,
09:40lied to them that she was staying at my place.
09:42She was going to go to a B&B and she was going to meet her boyfriend there.
09:48Boyfriend?
09:48She had a boyfriend?
09:50She kept him secret.
09:53Debbie was good at keeping secrets.
09:59I told you, I never met her boyfriend.
10:03None of us had.
10:04Come off it, Kirsty.
10:06Friends as close as you lot never met him,
10:08never talked about him, never swapped stories about him.
10:12The condoms Debbie used to swallow those drugs were brought in London.
10:18Did her boyfriend ask her to smuggle those drugs?
10:22I don't know anything.
10:23I haven't done anything wrong.
10:25Are you scared of him?
10:26Is that what's going on here?
10:27Kirsty, the CPS will prosecute you for conspiracy to import drugs.
10:38So, charge me or release me?
10:46Kirsty.
10:47What?
10:50You're going to show me pictures of her dead body?
10:53Try and scare me into talking?
10:55We found, um, these photographs on Debbie's camera.
11:07Can you tell me what's missing?
11:15Debs.
11:15And there's the three of you
11:22having a great time.
11:30Kirsty.
11:34Kirsty.
11:36You're not protecting Debbie.
11:41You're protecting the person who talked her into this.
11:45Okay.
11:47And...
11:48He told Debbie that he loved her.
11:53Now...
12:02Does that look like love to you?
12:04You know what we do here, Kirsty?
12:11We speak for the dead.
12:14And we speak for the loved ones left behind.
12:19Tell us who Debbie's boyfriend was.
12:21Debbie told Kirsty that the boyfriend had given her an address of a hotel in Bangkok.
12:32When she arrived, there was a room in her name.
12:36Yes, she held this demo in the book.
12:38She checks in, the drugs are on the bed, she swallows them, stashes the cash in a drawer and then leaves.
12:45Kirsty also mentioned that Debbie was very scared that if she didn't go through with this, the boyfriend would dump her.
12:50And she thought that was love, she was manipulating her from the stuff.
12:54Now, if a bloke would have done that on one of my girls...
12:56Go.
12:58Angela pulled these off Debbie's laptop.
13:00There's a bunch of emails, Facebook messages.
13:02Anyway, there's dates and times where she meets up with the owner of this account.
13:07Buff Guy 41.
13:08His other name is Andy Belenta.
13:10He's a teacher at Debbie's school.
13:15Bring it in.
13:19Debbie was in one of my classes, that's all.
13:22Really?
13:23How many students do you meet on Sundays, Mr. Valenti?
13:26I'm teaching.
13:28I was teaching her to drive.
13:31Well, I've heard it called a lot of things.
13:34But never that.
13:35She failed her driving test twice.
13:37Her dad's not about much.
13:40I offered to help.
13:41Look, just tell me why Kirsty would think that Debbie was sleeping with her teacher.
13:47You know what kids are like.
13:49If they're not making stuff up about each other, they make it up about their teachers.
13:56Debbie used to make stuff up as well, did she?
14:00No.
14:02Debbie was different.
14:04She didn't judge anyone.
14:10Everybody felt comfortable around her.
14:13So you were helping her out the goodness of your heart?
14:16I wasn't sleeping with her, if that's what you're getting at.
14:18Debbie saw me with my boyfriend.
14:30Never told a soul.
14:37Why would you need to hire someone like that?
14:38I don't.
14:40As a teacher, you learn to keep your private life private.
14:44Debbie understood that.
14:46Okay.
14:47What about Debbie's private life?
14:50Did she ever mention or talk to you about a boyfriend?
14:54She never told me her name.
14:55But I think she was sleeping with somebody at work.
15:09Debbie worked here at weekends.
15:12I've got three stores spread across southeast London.
15:15How long have you had the business up and running?
15:19About four years.
15:20You never heard a rumor that Debbie was sleeping with a member of your staff?
15:26You know, it's hard enough keeping the wolf on the door without obviously my employees' personal lives.
15:33Even when they're sleeping with your mate's daughter?
15:39One of my techies, he put it about that he'd slept with her.
15:46That she was a slug.
15:50I checked it out.
15:51It was just a rumor.
15:53Well, you wouldn't be the first employer that staff lied to.
15:58No, I checked it with Debbie.
16:00You didn't tell Mark Powell?
16:02Oh, come on.
16:04Hey, Mark, one of the guys at work is calling your daughter a slug.
16:07He'll be down here in a second looking for blood.
16:09You know something?
16:10I wouldn't blame him.
16:12We'll need to talk to your technicians.
16:14Well, they work out of my warehouse.
16:17The dresser's on the back.
16:23That's fine.
16:24I'll actually help.
16:25One of the technicians, a fella called Jerry Craig, didn't show up for work today or yesterday.
16:32And the line manager says he didn't call in either.
16:35Maybe he's sick.
16:36Maybe he's in it up to his eyeballs.
16:38He meets Debbie, seduces her, gives her four or five grand, expecting, what, 90, 100 grand profit back.
16:44Tell you what, mate, we're in the wrong game.
16:48It's not a game, Matt.
16:51This girl lost her life for the sake of a few quid.
16:54Let's go and see this Jerry Craig.
16:56I've had complaints about Jerry Craig before.
17:04People calling in all hours.
17:06Dodgy sauce hanging about.
17:09Because everyone knew he was a dealer.
17:11So how come you never called us?
17:13Well, I used to.
17:14But you guys come around, nick a dealer, and another one moves in.
17:19And at least Craig was only selling, what, weed and a bit of coke?
17:23Only.
17:25Well, the last one you lot nicked was selling acid to school kids.
17:29So what are your uniforms doing here, then?
17:32Ah, a burglary on the second floor.
17:35See Craig's flats on the 15th.
17:37Well, please tell me your lift ain't broken.
17:40My mum told me, never lie to a copper.
17:42Well, it looks like he left in a hurry.
17:47Nah.
17:48Place always looks like this.
17:50Set of scales in the bedroom, signs of drug use.
17:53Coke, cannabis.
17:56So when did you last see him, then?
17:58Well, last night.
17:59He said he was heading off for a bit.
18:01Yeah.
18:02Trying to clap me for a hundred quid.
18:04Cheeky bugger.
18:05He still owes three months' rent.
18:08Doesn't look like he pays his bills, either.
18:11Right, then.
18:12Do you have many friends?
18:16Nah.
18:16He's the sort of guy even his mother couldn't love.
18:19Does she ever come round?
18:22Every Friday.
18:26Always wondered what a nice girl like that was doing with Craig.
18:30You could set your watch by her, you could.
18:34What was Debbie doing in a dump like this?
18:37Looks like Craig knows we're onto him.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Well, he's trying to tap up the caretaker, which failed.
18:45So he's obviously broken and desperate.
18:48And what's the first thing you need when you do a bunk?
18:51Cash.
18:51And you do know that no one does a bunk anymore.
18:54You're going to have to update your lingo, sunshine.
18:58So Craig's on his toes.
19:00Where does he get his cash from?
19:04Burglary.
19:04Second floor.
19:05Second floor.
19:06A tenant had his credit card stolen.
19:16For the cash, first thing you need when you do a bunk.
19:18Told ya.
19:19Jerry Craig's got form for burglary, credit card theft and dealing from Intel.
19:30List of his friends and associates.
19:32Actually, yeah, I do mind waiting.
19:34Thank you very much.
19:35And the next time you ring 999, we'll keep you waiting.
19:37What about that?
19:38He's got his coat.
19:40Oh, Debbie Powell's the same age as Ronnie's youngest.
19:42I don't know.
19:43You lot have kids.
19:44Worry alone would do my head in.
19:46The love outweighs the worry.
19:47If you say so.
19:48Well, of course I'm still here.
19:49Although I do have a pressing appointment to put pins in my eyes.
19:53Thank you very much.
19:55Cheers.
19:55Okay, cashback.
19:59Tesco's Dulwich.
20:00Guy matching Jerry Craig's description.
20:03One of Craig's mates lives in Dulwich.
20:05Game on.
20:07See, this is why I did a runner from my flat.
20:09I knew you lot would put two and two together and come up with five.
20:12Ah, you ran because you had four.
20:15Yeah, for dealing, not smuggling.
20:23Look, lads.
20:25I don't want to go back to prison, do I?
20:28You're going about it in all the wrong ways, Jerry.
20:35I told you.
20:37I'm not her boyfriend, and I don't know who she was shagging.
20:40She wouldn't say.
20:46All I know is he bought her driving lessons as a gift.
20:49You mean the boyfriend bought her driving lessons, or the boyfriend was teaching her to drive?
20:57What difference does that make?
21:04Lessons.
21:05I think.
21:07He bought her lessons.
21:08Yes, I remember her now.
21:11Miss Powell.
21:13She took a series of one-hour lessons at the end of July.
21:18Jeffrey!
21:19Slow down!
21:20Did he leave his car at home?
21:26He's crashed 28 times.
21:29I want to know his hand-eye and foot coordination has improved before I get back in the vehicle with him.
21:35So, um, Debbie Powell?
21:37Yes.
21:38We usually pick up at the client's house, but she was insistent on coming out here.
21:42Did she come out here alone?
21:46Forrest, I know, yeah.
21:49Intensive care driving school.
21:52It's good, isn't it?
21:53My husband came up with it.
21:56Intensive care.
21:58Yes.
22:00We're intensive, and we care.
22:04So, how did Debbie pay for her lessons?
22:07Cash.
22:08Would you excuse me?
22:12Did me a favour, mate, eh?
22:16Next time we pass a brick wall, bang my head into it for me, save time, eh?
22:22Right.
22:26What's up?
22:27There's no tube station or bus stop for miles.
22:30Middle of nowhere.
22:33So, she's not allowed to drive on her own.
22:36How did she get out here?
22:37Seven CCTV sightings of Debbie at intensive care.
22:45Who names their driving school?
22:47Leave it, Ange.
22:48Most of them are routine.
22:50Debbie turns up, Debbie leaves.
22:52Got interesting with this one, though.
22:57That's Jack Gilmore.
22:58Family friend.
23:00Well, it could be a casual dropping off after work.
23:02Nothing casual about this.
23:03Hang on, Gilmore's the boyfriend.
23:08But he denied knowing who Debbie was seeing or who she was sleeping with.
23:12What's that all about?
23:13He's almost to be a father.
23:14Oh, look, the kiss doesn't prove he's the dealer.
23:16But it is enough to bring him in, Angelina.
23:19Lunch is on me.
23:19Well done, love.
23:21You just get better and better, Ange.
23:23Everyone else has gone back to the church hall.
23:38You want to wait?
23:40Nick him there?
23:41No.
23:42Let's get it over with.
23:45Mr. Gilmore.
23:47We'd like you to come with us.
23:49What?
23:50We'd like to ask you some questions.
23:51You arrested me.
23:56How public would you like to make this, sir?
24:00What's going on?
24:02It's about one of Mr. Gilmore's employees.
24:07Have you got him?
24:09Have you got the bastard who did this?
24:12When we know for certain, we'll give you a call.
24:14I'll see you back at the church hall, OK?
24:16I'm arresting you on suspicion of the importation of heroin.
24:25You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention and question something you later rely on.
24:33I loved Debbie.
24:36Why the hell would I get us smuggled drugs?
24:39Why did you lie to us, Mr. Gilmore?
24:41Why did you pretend that you weren't sleeping with Debbie?
24:44I didn't want Mark to know.
24:51I kind of knew how hurt he and Susan would be.
24:55And we both thought that some people might think that what we were doing was wrong.
25:00Drug smuggling.
25:01You need love.
25:04That's not a crime, is it?
25:08Mr. Gilmore.
25:09Who's your contact in Thailand?
25:14Who arranged the drugs for Debbie to collect?
25:17You're not listening.
25:21Why would I risk losing the one person that I love the most?
25:25I don't know who got her to do this, but it wasn't me.
25:29Mr. Gilmore, forensics found some unopened condoms in your car.
25:34They were the same type that Debbie packed with heroin and swallowed.
25:38Actually, from the same batch, bought from the same branch.
25:52Jack Gilmore, we're going to charge you with the importation of heroin.
25:55There we go for importation, fine.
26:10I still don't understand why you won't pursue Gilmore for manslaughtered gross negligence.
26:15Under any other circumstances, I would, but I don't want to put Debbie's parents through a mudslinging trial
26:20when importation carries the same sentencing parameters.
26:24Presuming we could get the maximum for importation.
26:26I see her parents will endure a few slanders in their daughter's character,
26:30so long as Gilmore is punished to the full.
26:34We don't have the key witness that connects Gilmore's actions to Debbie's death.
26:38I could see if he's tried this before, get evidence of a pattern.
26:42Even if you did turn up a previous drugs mill, it's not a clear enough link to manslaughter.
26:49Unless we can establish duty of care.
26:56Go on.
26:58Well, Gilmore was her employer, her lover, and a family friend.
27:03I can't get much more responsible than that.
27:07The old Bailey walls, James.
27:10The welfare of the people is the supreme law,
27:13and Debbie Powell's welfare was destroyed by Jack Gilmore.
27:20All right.
27:23If you can find a witness, and if the family agree, we go for both the charges.
27:28Better get to work, then.
27:29The foreseeability of damage or danger to Debbie Powell should be fairly straightforward to prove.
27:37Well, if it was harmless, Gilmore would have imported the drugs himself.
27:41We might just have enough to get George's manslaughter charge home.
27:46Hold the door!
27:48I've got sick now.
27:48Open the windows. Tie down anything that moves.
27:53Oh, God.
27:54That smell. I think...
27:56I am...
27:57I've got to be sick.
28:01They're disinfecting seven years, and they're still using it.
28:03Jason, I thought you only did meetings via videoconference.
28:08My therapist said I had to experience the joys of the world.
28:11Joys of the world.
28:13Have you been on public transport recently?
28:15Alicia Phillips, Jason Peters.
28:18Oh!
28:18Oh, Jason!
28:19I'm sorry, James.
28:23You used to work here?
28:25Many moons ago.
28:27I'm...
28:27No, I'd rather not. I'll be here all day.
28:31You've done well for yourself, James.
28:33The place would have driven me mad.
28:35Now, Jack Gilmore, you've no witnesses, the forensics are laughable, and your evidence is supposition, innuendo, and hypothesis.
28:46It's a hopeless case.
28:48Even I couldn't win it.
28:49Drop the charges.
28:51Debbie Powell died of a massive coronary.
28:54She was 18.
28:57Jack Gilmore was responsible.
28:58I've always liked you, James, and I'll take no pleasure in defeating you.
29:03Well, not much.
29:05But I'll see you in court.
29:13He's never lost a case.
29:22Start with Gilmore's current employees, then work backwards.
29:26I don't believe Debbie Powell was his first drugs mule.
29:40Gilmore's a name I'd rather forget.
29:43I worked for him three years ago.
29:46It says on your record you were sacked for drug use.
29:50My mum died.
29:52I got into drugs.
29:53I'm clean now.
29:54And two years ago, while you worked for Gilmore, you applied for a passport, booked a trip to Thailand.
30:00Well, that's not a crime, is it?
30:02No.
30:03But bringing illegal substances into this country is.
30:07Check your records.
30:08I never got there.
30:10Is that the real reason he sacked you?
30:12Because you changed your mind about importing the drugs?
30:17Gemma, Gilmore's latest conquest died.
30:20One of the capsules she swallowed burst.
30:21She was 18.
30:25I have my own family now.
30:27I've got a kid.
30:28Then you'll know what Debbie's mother must be going through.
30:30Yeah.
30:35Give evidence against him, please.
30:40I will if Jerry does.
30:43Jerry Craig?
30:45He didn't work for Gilmore till after you left.
30:48Maybe not on the books.
30:50But Jerry was the middleman.
30:52He had the contact in Thailand.
30:55Gemma is a co-kid.
30:56I'm surprised she can remember her own name.
30:59We know you put the deal together, Jerry.
31:03We're not interested in you, Jerry.
31:06Just give us Gilmore, and you can go back and crawl under the rock where you came from.
31:12Do you know how easy it is to get drugs in Thailand?
31:15She was a very enterprising girl, Debbie.
31:18She could have got them anywhere.
31:21Intent to supply.
31:24Importation.
31:26Conspiracy.
31:27Perverting the course of justice.
31:29You'll go on all day if you're not careful.
31:30I don't know anything.
31:33Right.
31:34Do you know what?
31:36I've had enough of this.
31:37Why don't you charge him with that little lock, Matty?
31:39If I talk, what happens to me?
31:46Jerry, tell us what we want to know about Jack Gilmore.
31:51Or we'll settle for you.
31:55Do you understand?
32:01Jerry.
32:02Do you understand?
32:06Interview terminated at 10.27.
32:09Okay.
32:24A few years back, I did some debt collecting for Gilmore.
32:32And he came to me with a proposition to earn some quick cash.
32:35Jerry Craig's prepared to give evidence that he gave Gilmore the drugs contact and that
32:42it was Gilmore's plan all along.
32:44Good work.
32:45So can we make it home in both importation and the manslaughter charges?
32:49The importation charge is pretty straightforward.
32:52Manslaughter's not a risk.
32:53I don't care.
32:54I want to go after him for both.
32:55Mark and Susan need to know that Gilmore's been held responsible for Debbie's death.
32:59You're done with it.
33:00Put Gilmore in the talk.
33:02How are you bearing up?
33:15I feel better when Gilmore's in prison.
33:17We all will.
33:18We've got a pretty strong case, but there's a long way to go.
33:21Promise me you won't get away with this.
33:23The liaison officer will show you where to sit.
33:27Mark, don't talk to me.
33:29It's just a terrible mistake.
33:30You're a pedophile.
33:31You hear me?
33:31A pedophile.
33:32She was 18.
33:33At least I was there for her.
33:34You never were.
33:35You're never there for any of you.
33:36I'll kill you!
33:37Hey!
33:38Go for it.
33:39No, that's enough.
33:41That was a threat from your client, Jane.
33:43Oh, just get out!
33:48Mark, you have to calm down.
33:49Attacking Gilmore is not going to help your family.
33:52He took away our daughter.
33:53Yeah.
33:53And we're going to hold him responsible for that in court.
33:56No.
34:00Debbie told me he said he was in love with her.
34:03We took the mickey out of her on holiday.
34:08She was always on Facebook, leaving messages on his wall.
34:12And what about Debbie?
34:14She was totally in love with him.
34:17Exhibit 8229, my lord.
34:19Facebook correspondence between the deceased and the accused.
34:24Paragraph 3C is where Mr. Gilmore clearly says how much Debbie means to him.
34:33No further questions.
34:37Kirstie, the messages between my client and Debbie never explicitly mention drugs, do they?
34:49Of course.
34:51He's going to use a code, isn't he?
34:53He's not stupid.
34:56Was my client in Thailand when Debbie chose to swallow these drugs?
35:03No, but...
35:07Mr. Peters, have you forgotten where you are?
35:11Jason.
35:13I'm sorry, my lord.
35:16It was an itch.
35:19So, at any time, Miss Powell could have chosen to walk away and not break the law.
35:27She did it because he asked her.
35:31I knew Debbie was going to smuggle heroin.
35:35We talked about it when she came over to my place.
35:37And who was Debbie smuggling the drugs for?
35:43I don't know.
35:48That's not what you said in your statement.
35:52Yeah, well, I only said that because the police threatened me.
35:56Physically.
35:57Uh, I've seen the police recording, Mr. Craig.
36:07No such threats were made against your person.
36:10Of course they're not going to threaten me in the interview.
36:13They're not stupid.
36:13My lord, the Crown's case is built around Mr. Craig's evidence.
36:19This witness's evidence clearly contradicts a sworn statement, my lord.
36:23Which Mr. Craig made, well, clearly, under duress.
36:27You weren't sat in the back of the police car when they threatened me.
36:30Mr. Craig told the police on tape that Jack Gilmore was behind this.
36:34The accused has clearly interfered with the course of justice, my lord.
36:38They told me to say it was Gilmore in the interview.
36:40So I did.
36:53I can't believe that jobs took five minutes to send the jury and Craig out.
36:58Did you know he was going to change his story?
37:01James, we're friends.
37:02Cheap theatrical tricks aren't my style.
37:06Your client must have bribed my witness to purge it himself.
37:10We really should both rise above this.
37:13Sadly for you, Craig has changed his story and now we're sort of done.
37:20I'm not done.
37:22Gilmore did it.
37:22I can still get him convicted.
37:24Marvelous, James.
37:25Can't wait to see it.
37:26Good luck with you.
37:28For God's sake, your wig is straight, Jason.
37:32Thank God.
37:33Now I can go home.
37:39I really am sorry about this, James.
37:42But even I couldn't win this case now.
37:46Mr. Gilmore, can you confirm for the court the man in this CCTV footage is indeed you?
38:03Yes.
38:04That's me.
38:05The young woman in that clip, Debbie Powell.
38:10How old was she?
38:15She was 18.
38:1718.
38:18Old enough to vote.
38:21To fall in love.
38:23To drink.
38:25Have sex.
38:27Not a child.
38:30Did you give her money to buy those drugs?
38:34No.
38:35Did you know what Debbie was planning when she went to Thailand?
38:38If I'd have known, I wouldn't have let her go.
38:41How did you feel when you heard about Debbie's death, Mr. Gilmore?
38:50Heartbroken.
39:00No further questions.
39:08Seventy heroin-packed condoms were found in Debbie's stomach.
39:22Condoms which match those police found at your property.
39:26Isn't that right, Mr. Gilmore?
39:27They were found in my car.
39:31Debbie must have seen them there and taken them.
39:33You're claiming an 18-year-old girl arranged all this by herself.
39:40I wish to God she hadn't.
39:43But it looks that way.
39:47You're a salesman, aren't you, Mr. Gilmore?
39:49I own several shops.
39:52Do you think you've sold your story to the jury today?
39:55My Lord!
39:56I'm telling the truth.
39:57I must have been more than anyone.
40:07The judge spent more time summing up the defense than he did our case.
40:12It's just the way it is.
40:14He has to explain all the implications for the jury,
40:17otherwise Gilmore could appeal if he's convicted.
40:23The jury's back.
40:25Already?
40:25Well, that's a good sign, isn't it?
40:29I mean, quick is better.
40:31It means they know he's guilty.
40:34Why don't you two go in?
40:36We'll follow up.
40:50I need you to be strong now, Mark.
40:54For your family.
40:55She's right.
41:01I was never there for him.
41:04What kind of a father am I?
41:07Whatever the jury says,
41:08don't let him win.
41:15Members of the jury,
41:17have you reached a verdict upon which you are all agreed?
41:20Yes.
41:20Yes.
41:21On the first count of manslaughter,
41:23do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
41:27Not guilty.
41:27Not guilty.
41:31On count two,
41:35that the defendant was knowingly concerned in the importation of two kilograms of heroin
41:42with intent to supply,
41:45do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
41:49Not guilty.
42:20and harder cases than this room.
42:24I won't bring Debbie back, will I?
42:31It's okay, we don't blame you.
42:34I know.
42:39I used to bring Debbie here when she was Amy's age,
42:43just before I'd fly back to Dubai.
42:47Just hide and seek.
42:51This isn't over, Mark.
42:54Don't give up.
42:56I don't see what else you can do.
43:02Amy, be careful, darling.
43:12I feel like we've let Debbie's parents down.
43:14I promise them we get Gilmore.
43:16We haven't.
43:17Well, sometimes, James, that's the way it goes.
43:19You know, Jack Gilmore's probably one of these guys
43:21that can wriggle away from anything.
43:23You did the best you could, mate.
43:24Yeah, but it's not enough, Ronnie.
43:27There has to be something else.
43:28Like what?
43:30Jerry Craig is going to stick to his guns, isn't he?
43:32I mean, he's not going to change his story.
43:34Did you try to talk Gemma McCann out of withdrawing a statement?
43:38Well, of course we did.
43:40But don't forget, she's a young, scared, single mum.
43:43I mean, she's not going to start talking now Jerry Craig's changed his tune, is she?
43:47Okay.
43:47So there's no new evidence, no chance of a retrial.
43:51And if Jack Gilmore had used one of my girls like that, I would really want to get him back
43:55the best way I could, no matter what it costs or what it took.
43:59I'd find out what matters to that lad, and I would take it away from him.
44:03Gilmore, he's not going to be threatened, Ronnie.
44:05You need to care about something, anything, to risk not losing it.
44:11And the only thing Gilmore cares about is himself and his businesses.
44:14Well, other than getting every single person in London to pick it or boycott his shops
44:19and put him out of business, I don't see what else you can do.
44:30Capone.
44:30We drew a Capone on him.
44:32Jesus, Jim.
44:33You nearly gave me a heart attack there.
44:36Alicia, you've been drinking.
44:38What is going on?
44:40What was the name of that goth girl last year?
44:45Last year?
44:46You know, the Jones case.
44:48Chris Peter, Numbermonter, the tax woman.
44:50Sometimes they think I'm the only seen person who was, isn't you?
44:53Una.
44:54Una McLeary.
44:55She's an expert witness, works at the tax office.
44:57See if you want as nice as pie, but a wooden mouth, but a Rottweiler on a paper trail.
45:01Well, we go after Gilmore's tax records.
45:05Income tax, VAT, everything.
45:06Every sale, every transaction, every piece of paper that went through his shops.
45:11We go through it all.
45:12The Capone approach?
45:13Oh, that is brilliant.
45:16I'll get in his number.
45:17You better check there, though, with revenue and customs.
45:19We're going to get him, George.
45:20Maybe not drugs, maybe not manslaughter, but we're going to get Jack Gilmore for something.
45:27It's finally happening.
45:30You become Elliot Ness.
45:35Fantastic.
45:36This is the reason I joined.
45:38All I want is mountains of paperwork.
45:40So, what should we be looking for?
45:46You don't look for anything.
45:50Be the paper, become the numbers.
45:53First rule of tax forms, everybody lies.
45:57Second rule of tax forms, everybody gets found out eventually, usually by me.
46:02What do you need?
46:05Guns.
46:06Lots of guns.
46:07Only joking.
46:12More floor space.
46:15Three current businesses, several failed ventures.
46:18This guy's been in business since 1994.
46:21Started filing his online returns in 2005.
46:23I can handle those.
46:25Breathe out his paper, and you need a lot more floor space.
46:30Consider it done.
46:33That's good to work.
46:37Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's 4.30, it's Friday.
46:43I imagine you've all got families you're anxious to get home to, so I look forward to seeing
46:48your first thing Monday morning, and have a lovely week here.
46:52Thank you, George.
46:55And the bridge is yours.
46:57Thank you, George.
46:58Thank you, George.
46:58Thank you, George.
46:59Thank you, George.
46:59Thank you, George.
46:59Thank you, George.
47:00Thank you, George.
47:01Thank you, George.
47:01Thank you, George.
47:02Thank you, George.
47:02Thank you, George.
47:03Thank you, George.
47:03Thank you, George.
47:04Thank you, George.
47:04Thank you, George.
47:05Thank you, George.
47:06Thank you, George.
47:07Thank you, George.
47:08Thank you, George.
47:09Thank you, George.
47:10Thank you, George.
47:11Thank you, George.
47:12Thank you, George.
47:14Thank you, George.
47:15Thank you, George.
47:16Thank you, George.
47:17Thank you, George.
47:18Thank you, George.
47:19Thank you, George.
47:20Thank you, George.
47:21Thank you, George.
47:52It's only the home secretary.
48:04You've been a good girl for your nana.
48:11I miss you too, sweetie.
48:15Yes, as soon as mommy finds the bad numbers.
48:23Coffee?
48:26I'll take that as a yes, sir.
48:28You know, I haven't had so much fun since I was up all night prepping Jagger.
48:33Oh.
48:46Ethan's down.
48:48This weekend he wants to go skating.
48:49I've no idea where to take it.
48:54I used to go to the Sobel Centre near Holloway.
48:58You can skate.
49:00Oh, yeah.
49:00What are you doing Saturday afternoon?
49:09Watching you fall flat on your arse.
49:11Everything since 2005 is clean as a whistle.
49:29How far have you got?
49:311998.
49:32Clean as well.
49:33I bet you two were the biggest swats in your class.
49:36Right, well, we'll fly through this now.
49:39George, can you sort this out for me?
49:42No problem.
49:44Access to the accounts of his parents, his sisters, and his wife.
49:51Sorry, his what?
49:53Wife.
49:54Family members are often used as black economy coverage.
49:57He hasn't got a wife, has he?
49:59Well, she's director of all these companies and pockets by 200k a year.
50:03Why didn't we know about his wife?
50:08Frances Arrow married 1991 to 1993.
50:12Divorced, but is still his business partner.
50:15Has Frances Arrow paid her income tax?
50:18Her last tax return was in 1994.
50:21It's a bit hard to pay your income tax when you're dead.
50:24She died in 1994.
50:32200k a year.
50:3515 years.
50:37We've got him.
50:38On count one, namely that the defendant dishonestly failed to disclose
50:51a liability to pay income tax in the sum of 2,412,869 pounds
51:02with intent to make a gain for himself.
51:06Do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?
51:10Guilty.
51:11Guilty.
51:32Two years, is that it?
51:55This might not be the justice Debbie deserves,
52:03but Gilmore's life as he knows it is over.
52:09A kind of justice.
52:47The End
53:17Grace to the service
53:18But there are other considerations
53:21Bear in mind
53:22This is bad enough
53:23Without you making it into a conspiracy
53:25You've been given a task
53:27Do your job
53:28Do we have an agreement?
53:29You have no case
53:30Rory!
53:47You have no case
54:07You have no case
54:07You have no case
54:21You have no case
54:22You have no case
