07:37waitrose john lewis then it changes when the card was stolen cinema tickets bar bill from a couple of
07:45clubs purchased from a musical instrument store what scales music store not in hill songs from the shows
07:55well at least he's got a bit of taste so what's that cd or sheet music
08:02what kind of credit card thief is this guy kinky one 120 quid in some place called slinky secrets
08:10it cost 120 pounds
08:14got one somewhere
08:16oh hold them
08:22here
08:34not what you were expecting well actually it's not really a area of expertise but
08:40Well, it's not all Fifty Shades.
08:43That is one of our more functional designs.
08:47Well, we think this is the guy that bought it.
08:51Did he ring any bells?
08:53No.
08:55But he wouldn't, would he?
08:56Why? Because blokes don't come in it?
08:58No, because it was an internet order.
09:01Card unseen.
09:03So once again, I take the whack.
09:06Yeah, but if it's an online order,
09:07you must have the delivery address, yeah?
09:09Oh, my God.
09:24There.
09:26Holland Park.
09:28And if you see any of my merchandise round there,
09:32get it back.
09:33Why would the thief have something delivered here?
09:40Well, maybe you said the card was stolen
09:44to cover the fact that you were making purchases
09:46you'd rather no one knew about.
09:49Like ladies' underwear?
09:51Or trips to the Lord Darnley Hotel?
09:54That's absurd.
09:54Recognise him?
10:01This was the lad who was using your card at the hotel.
10:04Maybe you met him there.
10:07Why would I do that?
10:08Well, we're not here to judge, sir.
10:14Every marriage has its secrets.
10:17Oh, good grief.
10:18No.
10:19I have a wife who's a woman.
10:22Anyway, I told you I was having dinner that night at my club.
10:26We haven't been able to substantiate that.
10:28And your doorman was less than welcoming.
10:31I'll call them, tell them to cooperate.
10:34Now, you've got to understand
10:35I did not use that card to check it to that hotel.
10:41Take the bags to the kitchen.
10:49These are police, darling.
10:51They're nothing to worry about.
10:52Just, um, missing credit card.
10:55Oh, Charles, you're hopeless.
10:58Sorry.
10:58Mrs. Hutton, you haven't used your husband's credit card
11:02in the last couple of weeks, have you?
11:03To buy some underwear, maybe?
11:05No, of course not.
11:07And was that your daughter?
11:09Yes.
11:11Perhaps we could talk to her?
11:16I don't understand.
11:18Why would I use my father's credit card?
11:20If Georgia wants something, she only has to ask.
11:25Charles is incapable of saying no to her.
11:28What?
11:30Fathers and daughters, eh?
11:32Hmm.
11:33Georgia, this is a photograph of the young man
11:38using your dad's bank card.
11:41Do you recognise him?
11:43No.
11:44You sure?
11:47No.
11:48You see, we also think he's involved
11:50a very serious crime, possibly even a murder.
11:56So, if you do know him.
12:00Honestly, I would really like to help you,
12:02but I can't.
12:06Yeah, I think we're done here.
12:07Of course.
12:15Thank you for your time.
12:17However, I will leave a list of anyone
12:20who works at the house,
12:21and of course a list of any school friends.
12:23Georgia doesn't have guests.
12:26She's doing six A-levels.
12:28Wow.
12:29It's impressive.
12:31What school did you guys eat?
12:32Saint Sebastian's Upper.
12:35Nice.
12:37Oh, you know people there?
12:40No.
12:40Georgia's father was an old boy here.
12:51He was a lovely chap,
12:53but no stuck at anything.
12:56I suppose he didn't have to.
12:58All that family money.
13:00Hmm.
13:01And what about Mrs. Hutton?
13:03Um,
13:05I'm afraid I can't help you there.
13:07Nobody's quite sure where she's paying from.
13:10Um,
13:12Shadding girl,
13:13or,
13:13um,
13:15air hostants.
13:18One or the other.
13:20It's just like Charlie to,
13:22uh,
13:23to marry below stairs.
13:25Always was a hopeless romantic.
13:28And Georgie Hartman,
13:29she does all right here this year?
13:30Oh, more than all right.
13:32She's off to Oxford.
13:33Brains to burn.
13:35Must take after her mother.
13:37Hmm.
13:39West Side Story,
13:39one of my favourites.
13:42Did Georgia try out for that?
13:44Actually,
13:45she did.
13:45Not her finest hour,
13:47but it won't stop her expecting a leading role.
13:50Young people today
13:51have such pathological self-belief.
13:55Jenny,
13:55I'm really terribly sorry
13:57that I haven't listened to you.
13:58Just one thing before you go,
14:01Mr. Rindle.
14:01Is he one of yours?
14:07Goodness.
14:20Don't look like any P.E. less than I have.
14:22All right, Trotsky,
14:37you just parked the revolution here
14:39when I'll go and have a bird
14:40with our mystery hotel guest.
14:41Oh, it's not an e-hotel.
14:58If you're going to charge my client,
15:00please do so.
15:02Otherwise,
15:02this constitutes the harassment
15:06of an innocent schoolboy.
15:09What kind of innocent schoolboy
15:11has a family solicitor on speed, though?
15:14Thanks to Mr. Hutton, it seems.
15:18Someone lost a lot of blood
15:19in that hotel room, Rufus.
15:21Who was it?
15:23I told you I wasn't there.
15:25If you weren't there,
15:26you must have been somewhere else.
15:27So where were you?
15:28My client has no comment.
15:29Hey, Joe,
15:52do us a favour.
15:55Would you lead to the patisserie
15:57for me, please?
15:58Because if we're in
15:59for the long duration here,
16:01I could murder like
16:02we've got friends, you can.
16:05Was that a party?
16:17It was my 18th.
16:23Happy birthday.
16:25Thanks.
16:26So what's this about?
16:29Rufus Barton.
16:30What time did he get to your party?
16:33Seven-ish.
16:34Georgia was supposed to be
16:35helping me get ready,
16:36but of course she brought Rufus,
16:39so that bit paid to that.
16:42And how long has Georgia
16:44been seeing him?
16:45About a year.
16:47But her mum and dad don't know?
16:48Of course not.
16:49Her mum's like super strict.
16:52Mine's not.
16:52I can pretty much
16:54do what I like.
16:57Um, and Rufus,
16:59what time did he leave
17:00your party?
17:01I've no idea.
17:03I was utterly mashed.
17:06Nonetheless,
17:06you must have noticed
17:07people coming and going.
17:08Poppy,
17:09do you have any photos?
17:11Loads.
17:11They're on my Facebook.
17:13OK,
17:13we're going to need
17:14to see those.
17:15Sure.
17:17Friend me.
17:17Maybe you'd like
17:23to email them
17:24to us.
17:29Do you think maybe
17:30Rufus could have
17:31left the party early
17:32and gone and seen
17:33another girl?
17:34No way.
17:35He was, like,
17:35surgically attached
17:36to Georgia.
17:37Sounds like you might
17:38be a little jealous.
17:40Don't get me wrong.
17:42Georgia's great.
17:43But she's not perfect.
17:45How do you mean?
17:46Well, for starters,
17:49she's got fat
17:50and basically disappeared.
17:53So,
17:54Georgia Hutton
17:55puts on a bit of lumber,
17:57then all of a sudden,
17:59a corset is delivered
18:00to her home address.
18:01What do you think?
18:02I don't know.
18:03I mean,
18:03I get that teenage girls
18:05are funny about that stuff,
18:06but did she really
18:07look that overweight?
18:08You.
18:09Maybe she shifted
18:09a few pounds
18:10in that hotel room.
18:16OK,
18:21I fast-tracked that test
18:23and you were right, Ron.
18:25There's amniotic fluid
18:26in the mattress,
18:28so
18:28someone's given birth
18:30in that room.
18:31Well,
18:31that's the source
18:32of the blood, then.
18:34Remind me never
18:34to have kids.
18:36It's OK.
18:37I've had two.
18:38Never felt a thing.
18:40Uh,
18:41Lily,
18:41thanks very much.
18:42Question is,
18:44where's the baby?
18:48She is not
18:49the kind of girl
18:51to get herself pregnant.
18:53Yeah?
18:54What kind of girl is that?
18:56The stupid kind.
18:59Georgia doesn't even
19:00have a boyfriend.
19:02She doesn't have time.
19:04You know,
19:05Georgia,
19:05if you want to
19:06continue this in private,
19:07we can.
19:08We don't have
19:09any secrets.
19:12Do we?
19:13Georgia?
19:17It's fine.
19:21Georgia,
19:22we know
19:23that you are
19:24close to Rufus Barton.
19:27Who's that?
19:30And
19:30that Rufus
19:33booked a hotel room
19:36at the Lord
19:37Darnley
19:38using your dad's
19:40bank card
19:41and there's someone
19:43who gave birth
19:47in that room.
19:49Someone
19:50with a very rare
19:51blood type.
19:56It's a B.
19:57Reese's Buster.
19:58We don't really get
20:10much time together
20:11though,
20:12with Rufus
20:12being a boarder
20:13and my mother
20:13being so uptight.
20:16So,
20:17we decided
20:18to leave the party
20:19and go to a hotel.
20:22Right,
20:22and
20:23just tell us
20:24what happened
20:25once you got to
20:25the Lord Darnley.
20:27It was horrible.
20:30The room was so dirty
20:32and
20:32we knew it would be
20:35weeks before we
20:35could arrange
20:36anything else
20:37so we decided
20:38to stay.
20:42And then what happened?
20:45Then we
20:45started having sex
20:47and
20:50then
20:51all this
20:52stuff
20:54started coming
20:55out of me
20:56and I started
20:57getting these
20:58horrible cramps
21:00that were just
21:01and then I
21:03started bleeding
21:04and
21:04I knew
21:07I was having
21:08a miscarriage.
21:16It's okay.
21:18Take your time.
21:19There's not really
21:24anything else
21:25to say.
21:26I'm sorry
21:27I didn't tell you
21:27this before.
21:28I just
21:28couldn't
21:31with my mother
21:32though.
21:33No.
21:35You said
21:36that you knew
21:36straight away
21:37from the bleeding
21:37that you were
21:38having a miscarriage.
21:41Yes.
21:43Even though
21:44you didn't know
21:45you were pregnant.
21:46what else
21:48could it have
21:48been?
21:51I'm sorry
21:52it's just so
21:53horrible remembering
21:54it all.
21:58Georgia
21:58how far along
22:00do you think
22:00you might have been?
22:03Two or three months
22:05at most.
22:06Um
22:06I'm sorry
22:09about this
22:09but I do need
22:10to ask
22:11what did you do
22:14with the fetus?
22:21Will you flush it
22:22down the loom?
22:24And you had no idea
22:25that you were pregnant
22:26Georgia.
22:27No morning sickness
22:28nor anything like that.
22:32Thank you DS Brooks
22:33I'll take this from you.
22:36I'm Detective Inspector
22:38Layton
22:39and I think we have
22:40everything we need
22:40for now
22:41so if anything else
22:42comes up
22:43we'll be in touch.
22:57Wes
22:58we weren't done there.
22:59Yes you were.
23:01She had a miscarriage.
23:03It happens more often
23:04than you think.
23:05Gov.
23:05Write up your notes
23:06put them on my desk.
23:08The case is closed.
23:09Okay stuff you're
23:20still working on
23:21you file
23:22in your desk box.
23:24Yeah?
23:24Stuff you refer to
23:25regularly
23:26you file
23:27in your desk drawer.
23:29Stuff you hardly
23:30ever use.
23:33Ron
23:33am I wasting my time here?
23:35Ron?
23:35Hey?
23:36No Joe listen to this.
23:39Georgia Hutton
23:39buys a corset
23:40to conceal the fact
23:41that she's fat right?
23:42Right.
23:43No.
23:44She just tells us
23:45she thought she was
23:47only a couple of months
23:48along.
23:49Now if she's a couple
23:49of months along
23:50she wouldn't be
23:51showing that much
23:51anyway would she?
23:53Okay.
23:53Right.
23:55Have a form.
23:56Where you going?
23:58I'm going down
23:58to the lab
23:59to see Lily
24:00see if she's
24:00finished them tests.
24:01No Ron you can't
24:02I just know
24:03crime in the report.
24:05Well file them
24:06in your desk box
24:07you're not done
24:08with them yet.
24:14It wasn't
24:15an early miscarriage.
24:17There was too much
24:18blood
24:19not enough
24:20amniotic fluid
24:20on that mattress
24:21for the pregnancy
24:22to be in the first
24:23trimester.
24:24So well the best
24:25guess is
24:26the fetus was
24:28probably around
24:28several months
24:29along.
24:30Why would
24:33Georgia
24:33hadn't lie
24:34to us that
24:35way?
24:36So look
24:36we wouldn't
24:36go looking
24:37for a body?
24:37Oh don't
24:38get ahead
24:38of yourself
24:38Ron.
24:39Alright look
24:39Wes I reckon
24:40we should go
24:41and have a proper
24:42look at the
24:42error covered
24:43by those kids
24:43that night.
24:44I really do.
24:46You know
24:46what it's like
24:47these cases
24:47usually the
24:48babies duck
24:48very near the
24:49scene.
24:50So why don't
24:50we go and
24:50have a look
24:51at all the
24:51phone boxes
24:52all the
24:52doorways
24:53the trains
24:54and the
24:54bins.
24:55And I'll
24:55tell you
24:56something else
24:56Gov as
24:56well.
24:57We could
24:58do with
24:58getting into
24:58that school
24:59and the
24:59heart of
25:00the house.
25:00No way
25:00you haven't
25:01got enough
25:01for a
25:01warrant.
25:02What about
25:02if we
25:02were looking
25:03for stolen
25:03goods?
25:04There is
25:14a man
25:14going
25:15through
25:15a
25:16rubbish.
25:16Yeah sorry
25:17about that.
25:18Hey
25:18I have a
25:20corset.
25:21What you got?
25:22Well we
25:23found that
25:23at the
25:25bottom of
25:25a bin.
25:28At
25:29George's.
25:29Well we
25:41found something
25:41interesting on
25:42George
25:43Hutton's
25:43nightdress.
25:44What's that?
25:47Baby
25:48faeces.
25:48Oh so
25:49you're saying
25:49the baby was
25:50in distress
25:51before it
25:52was born?
25:52Meconium in
25:53the amniotic
25:54fluid can be a
25:55sign of fetal
25:55distress but the
25:57meconium on this
25:58nightdress is quite
25:59separate from the
26:00amniotic fluid.
26:01So the baby
26:02excreted it after
26:04the birth?
26:05Exactly.
26:05Ah.
26:06Which means
26:07what?
26:08The amniotic fluid
26:09from the mattress
26:10shows the baby was
26:11old enough to be
26:12viable and the
26:13meconium from this
26:14nightdress shows it
26:16was born alive.
26:18If we checked
26:21all over and
26:22uniforms have even
26:23dropped in at all
26:23the local churches
26:25no baby's been
26:26handed in anywhere.
26:27Plus we went back
26:28had a chapel of
26:29witnesses from the
26:30hotel that night
26:31no one heard a
26:31baby crying.
26:32Okay what are you
26:33thinking?
26:34Infanticide.
26:36Even without a
26:37body?
26:38Wes?
26:39We're good to go
26:40we can keep
26:40looking but I'm
26:41sending you now
26:41Georgia Huttman
26:42didn't give birth
26:43to fresh air.
26:48Georgia Huttman
27:13I'm arresting you
27:14on suspicion of
27:15infanticide of
27:17assisting an offender.
27:18Oh he didn't do
27:19anything.
27:20You do not have
27:20to say anything
27:21but it may not be
27:22offensive.
27:23You do not mention
27:24what you may want
27:24to say anything.
27:25It's fine.
27:26You don't give up
27:27a lot of advice.
27:35Do you understand
27:37why you're here?
27:39Because I've been
27:40charged with
27:41killing a baby.
27:43Your baby.
27:47As the psychiatrist
27:49appointed by the
27:50court I have to
27:52establish whether
27:53the balance of
27:54your mind was
27:55disturbed at the
27:57time your baby
27:58died.
28:00I can't believe
28:01this is happening
28:02to me.
28:04When you went
28:05into labor did
28:07you understand
28:08what was happening?
28:09No.
28:10Not probably.
28:12I mean not until
28:14it came out.
28:16I mean a baby
28:16that size
28:18should have been
28:20dead shouldn't it?
28:22How did you feel
28:24when you saw it
28:24was alive?
28:26I don't really
28:27remember.
28:30It was like the
28:31whole thing was
28:31happening to someone
28:32else.
28:36Does that make me
28:37crazy?
28:41I don't buy it.
28:43How do you not
28:44know you're seven
28:44months pregnant?
28:46Our psychiatrist
28:47says she fits the
28:48profile for pervasive
28:49pregnancy denial.
28:50Woman isn't
28:51consciously aware
28:52she's pregnant
28:52of any symptoms
28:53she attributes
28:54to other causes.
28:55What?
28:56Too many pies
28:57and a spot
28:58of indigestion?
28:59I've known cases
29:00where the denial
29:01continues through
29:02to childbirth.
29:03Woman fails to
29:04recognize the child
29:05as a real baby.
29:06So kills it
29:07or abandons it?
29:09The syndrome is
29:10strongly associated
29:11with infanticide.
29:12There's no
29:12premeditation.
29:14Which is why
29:14she's not being
29:15charged with murder.
29:17You can't plan to
29:18kill a baby you
29:18don't know you're
29:19having.
29:27This application
29:28to dismiss
29:28is time-wasting.
29:30There's more than
29:30enough evidence
29:31to proceed.
29:32I'm astonished
29:33that you and Ripon
29:34have lowered yourself.
29:35Ripon's off the job.
29:36Georgia Hutton
29:37is to be represented
29:38by a friend
29:39of the family.
29:44Oh, no.
29:46Just give us a name.
29:52Jacob.
29:53Jacob Thorne.
29:56Long time no see.
29:58Kate Barker.
30:00Maitland.
30:00Cosby.
30:01Awful business.
30:06Awful business.
30:07Hutton's are such
30:09nice people.
30:10Still, I'm sure we can
30:10get this cleared up
30:11nice and quickly.
30:12Karen, word in your
30:13shell, Mike.
30:14I'll see you on the pitch.
30:15We should have a drink,
30:17Jakey.
30:17We should.
30:17We should catch up.
30:20Okay.
30:21Who is he
30:21and is he single?
30:22And in addition
30:31to the want
30:32of evidence,
30:34the body
30:34of the child
30:36has never been found.
30:37The search
30:38is ongoing,
30:39my lady.
30:40The body
30:40is not a requirement,
30:42Mr. Cosby.
30:43There's sufficient
30:44evidence to proceed.
30:45The application
30:46to dismiss charges
30:48is refused.
30:55Well, that was
30:56a waste of makeup.
30:57Get used to it.
30:59Cosby's only
31:00just getting started.
31:06All right there,
31:06Jakey?
31:07Please don't
31:08call me that.
31:09Remind me,
31:10what case was it
31:11we last met on?
31:12Hannigan and Shepard.
31:13Oh, that's right.
31:15Yeah,
31:15you was
31:16robbed.
31:17Yes,
31:19I was.
31:21Do you really think
31:22that I would...
31:22Play you nicely, boys.
31:24All right,
31:25how are we going
31:25to do this then?
31:27You first.
31:28Georgia didn't know
31:29she was pregnant,
31:29the baby was stillborn.
31:31You're taking the position
31:32that a dead baby
31:33excreted meconium?
31:35No, I'm taking the position
31:36there was no meconium.
31:40The item seized
31:42by the police
31:42fell outside
31:43the scope
31:44of the warrant,
31:45which was originally
31:46obtained to recover
31:47stolen goods.
31:49The item in question
31:50is a blood-stained
31:52nightshirt
31:52that proves
31:54Georgia Hutton's
31:55baby was born alive.
31:56How were the police
31:57supposed to ignore
31:58something like that?
32:02The evidence
32:03is admitted.
32:04the judge is a bit
32:15partisan.
32:16You've given her one.
32:17No, we've looked in the school,
32:27the hotel,
32:28Georgia's house,
32:29all the areas in between.
32:31You know,
32:32dustbins,
32:33drains,
32:33even in the gardens
32:34that mum and dad
32:35were working on
32:35at the time.
32:36Well, you must be
32:37missing something
32:38or you'd have found it
32:38by now.
32:39Kate, you want to have a shot?
32:40Go ahead.
32:41It's a big city out there.
32:42No, I'm sorry.
32:43It's just that a body
32:44would be really helpful.
32:45Kate,
32:46we haven't given up yet
32:48and we'll keep your posters.
32:51You're welcome.
32:54Where's she worn from us?
32:55We looked everywhere.
32:56Look everywhere again.
32:58Ron, take a look at this.
33:08What?
33:10I found some dodgy
33:11accountant in Hutton's
33:12business books, right?
33:14He had his knuckles wrapped
33:15for Undeclared Annis.
33:18Well, maybe some of
33:20mummy's chums
33:21didn't fancy playing
33:21the old VAT.
33:23Why don't we have a look
33:24in Granny Hutton's
33:25address book,
33:26see if we can't find him
33:27doing some jobs
33:28on the side
33:29around the time
33:29the baby was born?
33:31Way ahead of you, Ron.
33:34Way ahead.
33:40As soon as the guest
33:41checks out,
33:42the girls are in there
33:43doing the cleaning.
33:44Bish, bosh,
33:45room's ready to go
33:46and go in in 20 minutes.
33:48Very efficient.
33:49So if the defendants
33:50had left the hotel
33:51at 10.30pm,
33:53why was it another
33:5412 hours
33:55before the cleaning
33:56staff entered the room?
33:57Well, because that
33:58pair never checked out.
34:00I slipped off,
34:01taking the key
34:01with them.
34:03Left the do not
34:04disturb on the door.
34:07Well, they obviously
34:08didn't want anyone
34:09knowing what they
34:10were doing in there.
34:11Thank you,
34:11Mr. Blanchard.
34:17Mr. Blanchard,
34:19what kind of establishment
34:25would you say
34:26your hotel is?
34:28It's got a lot of potential.
34:31I think they're getting in
34:32some flot wallpaper,
34:34going all boutique.
34:36Lofty ambitions
34:38for a hostelry
34:40that rents rooms
34:41by the hour
34:42to local prostitutes.
34:44Is this going somewhere,
34:47Mr. Cosby?
34:48Georgia Harton
34:49is accused of killing
34:50her newborn child,
34:51but in the absence
34:52of a body,
34:52do we even know
34:54that the baby
34:54is dead?
34:56There is no usable
34:57CCTV footage
34:59of the night
35:00in question.
35:01Who's to say
35:02the child wasn't
35:02taken
35:03by any one
35:05of the ne'er-do-wells
35:06who roamed
35:06the corridors
35:07of the Lord Dunn?
35:13Tell us about
35:14the night
35:14your baby was born.
35:17We...
35:18We left
35:19Poppy's party
35:20and...
35:22went to the hotel...
35:26to...
35:27have sex?
35:33Yes.
35:36But Georgia
35:38started getting
35:39these pains.
35:41She was in agony.
35:44Why didn't you
35:45call an ambulance?
35:47Georgia said
35:47I was making a fuss.
35:50And at that point
35:52you really had
35:53no idea
35:53that Georgia
35:54was pregnant?
35:55No.
35:57Honestly.
35:59What happened next?
36:02It was all
36:03very fast.
36:06messy.
36:07And...
36:08messy.
36:12He was a boy.
36:15We talked about
36:16keeping him
36:17but...
36:19Georgia was so
36:20scared of what
36:21her mum would say.
36:24So we
36:24wrapped the baby
36:26in a bathrobe
36:27and...
36:29put him on the bed.
36:32And left him.
36:33Yes.
36:39Whose idea
36:40was the
36:40Do Not Disturb
36:41sign?
36:42No one's.
36:44We didn't do that.
36:49I didn't.
36:53The idea
36:54was that
36:55someone
36:55would find him
36:56quickly.
36:56Rufus.
37:05Rufus,
37:06look at me,
37:06please.
37:10How about
37:11you stop
37:11defending your
37:12girlfriend
37:12and start
37:13defending your
37:14child?
37:17Where's
37:18your son?
37:18Someone found him.
37:33I...
37:34took him
37:35to look after.
37:38Lots of people
37:39want
37:40babies,
37:41don't they?
37:41Okay.
37:41Okay.
37:41Where's
37:52Joe's been
37:52on the
37:53blower?
37:53He's found
37:54a body.
37:55Okay.
37:56Thanks.
38:00When I started
38:01working through
38:02old Mrs.
38:03Hutton's
38:03address book,
38:04I came across
38:05Marjorie Harrison.
38:07She is the
38:07chairperson
38:08of the
38:09residence
38:09committee
38:10here.
38:11Hutton and
38:12fellows,
38:12they installed
38:13these
38:13remembrance
38:14gardens
38:15around the
38:15time Georgia
38:16had the
38:17baby.
38:18Body was
38:18buried
38:19underneath.
38:22How do we
38:22know it's
38:23him?
38:23Well,
38:25he was
38:25wrapped in
38:26a bathrobe.
38:27We traced
38:28the laundry
38:28label,
38:29you know?
38:30It's from
38:31the Lord
38:32Darnley.
38:37The
38:37child was
38:38about ten
38:38weeks
38:39premature.
38:41It died
38:42from untreated
38:43respiratory
38:44distress
38:44syndrome.
38:46It would
38:46have been
38:46obvious it
38:46was in
38:47trouble from
38:47the moment
38:47it was
38:48born.
38:49Okay.
38:50So,
38:51Lily,
38:52would the
38:52baby have
38:52made it
38:53had they
38:53got it
38:53to hospital?
38:55Possibly.
38:56Or if
38:56he'd been
38:57born a few
38:58weeks later.
38:59There's not
38:59much anyone
39:00could do
39:00about that,
39:01though.
39:02There is.
39:03This baby
39:04was induced.
39:07What?
39:08Synthetic
39:08oxytocin.
39:09There was
39:10a vial
39:10found in
39:11the pocket
39:11of the
39:11dressing gown
39:12plus the
39:13cap for
39:14a syringe.
39:15So much
39:16for Georgia
39:17Hutton not
39:17knowing she
39:18was pregnant.
39:19Yeah,
39:19her mind
39:20was not as
39:20disturbed as
39:21she was
39:21making out.
39:22Right,
39:23this is no
39:24longer
39:24infanticide.
39:25My lady,
39:46in the light
39:46of new
39:46evidence,
39:47the crown
39:48wishes to
39:48apply to
39:49alter the
39:49indictment
39:50against both
39:51defendants,
39:52from
39:53infanticide
39:54to murder.
40:04Lady,
40:05I'd like to
40:06make an
40:06application
40:07under
40:07section 78
40:09to exclude
40:10the evidence
40:10found in the
40:11bathrobe.
40:12It's more
40:12prejudicial than
40:13proctive.
40:14What?
40:15Miss Berker.
40:15There's not
40:16so much as
40:17a fingerprint
40:18connecting either
40:19the vial or
40:20the syringe
40:20lid with
40:21Miss Hutton.
40:22We've already
40:23established that
40:24the Lord Darnley
40:24is not known
40:25for its standards
40:26of housekeeping.
40:27These items
40:27could easily
40:28have been left
40:29in the pocket
40:30by the previous
40:30guest.
40:31The evidence
40:32proves that
40:32the defendants
40:33not only knew
40:34about the
40:34pregnancy,
40:35but took
40:36steps to
40:36artificially
40:37induce the
40:38baby before
40:38it was full
40:39term,
40:40thereby endangering
40:41their child's
40:42life even
40:43before they
40:43dumped it in
40:44that hotel
40:44room.
40:45Much as I
40:47dislike your
40:48tactics,
40:49Mr. Cosby,
40:51I agree
40:52the evidence
40:53is problematic
40:54and might
40:55prejudice the
40:56jury to the
40:57degree where
40:59it outweighs
41:00its probative
41:00value.
41:02The evidence
41:02is not allowed.
41:11Third time
41:12lucky.
41:15Who does he
41:16think he is?
41:18You know,
41:18he can't just
41:19parachute him
41:20from Poshville
41:21and change
41:21the rules.
41:23He's playing
41:23them to his
41:24advantage,
41:25isn't that
41:25what defence
41:26lawyers do?
41:28Look,
41:29I don't know
41:29about the boy,
41:30but Georgia
41:30Hutton is guilty
41:31of sin.
41:32We can't let it
41:33go over there.
41:34Well,
41:34at least we've
41:34got the body
41:35now that made
41:35the jury
41:36squeamish.
41:36wait.
41:39Come here,
41:40no.
41:41My daughter
41:42is not
41:43a bad person.
41:44Mrs. Hutton,
41:45please.
41:45She's not a
41:46trust fund brat.
41:48She's got a
41:48big future.
41:52Please,
41:53don't ruin
41:55my daughter's
41:55life.
41:56I'm sorry.
41:56Please,
41:57excuse my wife.
41:58No.
41:59For once
42:01in your life,
42:02do something.
42:03The defence
42:18calls Georgia
42:19Hutton.
42:20Mm-hm.
42:33Miss Hutton,
42:49why did you
42:52ask your father
42:53to return
42:54to the hotel?
42:56As soon
42:57as we left
42:58the baby,
42:58I knew
42:58it was a
42:59huge mistake.
43:01I wanted
43:02to go back,
43:02but Rufus
43:03wouldn't let
43:04me.
43:07He was
43:08very worried
43:08about me.
43:09I wasn't
43:09feeling well.
43:11So,
43:11when you
43:11got home,
43:13you asked
43:14your father
43:15to fetch
43:16the infant.
43:17I didn't
43:17care what
43:17my mother
43:18thought.
43:18My baby
43:19was more
43:19important.
43:20But when
43:21he got
43:21to the hotel,
43:22what did
43:23he find?
43:26He
43:27said
43:27a...
43:28Could
43:31you speak
43:32up,
43:32please?
43:35He
43:36said
43:36the baby
43:37wasn't
43:37there
43:37anymore.
43:39And when
43:40you got
43:40to the
43:40Lord
43:40Darnley,
43:41you got
43:43into the
43:43room,
43:43what did
43:43you find?
43:44Blood.
43:45The place
43:45was a mess.
43:48And the
43:48baby?
43:51It was
43:52on the bed.
43:53It wasn't
43:53breathing.
43:53so small.
44:01I thought
44:02of
44:03Chatton Square
44:04Gardens.
44:05Such a
44:06lovely spot.
44:09So I took
44:10the child
44:11there
44:11and buried it.
44:13I thought
44:14about Georgia,
44:16my wife,
44:19their plans.
44:19it seemed
44:22kinder to
44:23everyone
44:24to take
44:25care of
44:25things
44:25and pretend
44:27the baby
44:27had just
44:28gone.
44:31Just for
44:32our records,
44:33what time
44:34did you
44:34arrive at
44:34the hotel?
44:36I got
44:37home about
44:37just before
44:3911.
44:40Georgia and
44:41Rufus arrived
44:41shortly after.
44:43Got to the
44:44hotel room
44:45about 11.30.
44:47No,
44:48according to
44:48the dormant
44:49in your
44:49club.
44:52No,
44:53you see,
44:53once we
44:53persuaded him
44:54to talk to
44:54us,
44:55he told
44:55us
44:55that you
44:58were one
44:59of the
44:59last to
44:59leave the
44:59club that
45:00night.
45:00In fact,
45:01you and
45:01your party
45:02were kicked
45:03out at
45:05around about
45:05one o'clock
45:06in the morning.
45:11If you
45:12excuse me.
45:16interview
45:23terminated
45:24at 10.42.
45:27What if I
45:27gave her
45:28this against
45:28the boy?
45:30Perhaps the
45:31charges against
45:31my daughter
45:32could be
45:32dropped.
45:33I heard
45:33there are
45:34deals that
45:35can be
45:35done.
45:35no further
45:49questions.
45:49Miss
46:05Hutton,
46:06would you
46:06confirm
46:07something for
46:07me?
46:08What time
46:09did you get
46:10home and ask
46:10your father
46:11for help?
46:12Around
46:1211pm.
46:14You're quite
46:15certain about
46:15that?
46:16yes.
46:30I don't
46:31get it,
46:32Ron.
46:32Where were
46:33Georgia and
46:33Rufus between
46:3411 and 2?
46:37What if this
46:38picture was
46:39taken after
46:41the baby was
46:42born and not
46:42before?
46:43So what,
46:46instead of
46:46going straight
46:47from the
46:48hotel to
46:48the Hutton's
46:49house to
46:49ask for
46:50help,
46:50they went
46:50back to
46:51the party?
46:52Waste a
46:53couple of
46:53hours?
46:55I had no
46:56intention of
46:57anyone finding
46:58that baby
46:59alive.
47:09The Crown
47:10calls a
47:11rebuttal
47:12witness.
47:13Charles Hutton
47:14It appears
47:21Mr. Hutton
47:22has declined
47:23to give
47:24evidence.
47:32Sorry to be
47:33a bore,
47:34but I'm not
47:37going to go
47:38into the
47:38whippers'
47:38box.
47:39imagine you
47:44need to
47:45arrest me.
47:49If I was
47:49on that
47:50jury,
47:50I would
47:51think that
47:51Hutton was
47:52keeping quiet
47:53just to
47:53protect his
47:54daughter.
47:54Or to
47:55protect
47:55himself.
47:57You think
47:57he killed
47:58again?
47:58No,
47:59no,
47:59this is
47:59all
47:59George
48:00Jonathan.
48:01How's
48:01that?
48:02Look,
48:02Charles Hutton
48:03would do
48:03anything for
48:04his daughter,
48:05right?
48:06So if he
48:06thought that
48:07he could put
48:07the blame on
48:08himself or on
48:09Rufus,
48:09then he'd be
48:10doing it,
48:11not sitting in a
48:12cell with his
48:12mouth shut.
48:13sometimes those
48:21who choose to
48:22defend the
48:23indefensible find
48:25themselves falling
48:25back on dark
48:27arts.
48:30They use
48:31misdirection to
48:33make us look the
48:34other way, and
48:36sleight of hand to
48:38conceal the truth.
48:39When that happens,
48:41you have to hold on
48:42to the simple facts.
48:44If Miss Hutton had
48:46taken her newborn
48:47baby to a hospital,
48:48he would still be
48:50alive today.
48:53But Miss Hutton
48:54and Mr. Barton
48:55didn't take their
48:57premature and
48:59struggling child to
49:01a hospital.
49:02They took
49:03themselves back to
49:04the party they had
49:05attended earlier that
49:07evening, and only
49:08when they were quite
49:09confident that their
49:11baby was dead,
49:12did Georgia Hutton
49:13go home and ask
49:15her father for help.
49:20These are the facts.
49:23Hold on to them.
49:24Georgia Hutton's parents
49:41didn't pay eight
49:42grand a term to have
49:44their daughter walk out
49:45of school pushing a
49:46pram.
49:47As for Rufus
49:48Barton, was he really
49:49going to write a letter
49:51home telling his parents
49:52they had a grandchild on
49:53the way?
49:54P.S.
49:54Can I have some money
49:55for Tuck?
49:57Nobody wanted Georgia
50:00Hutton's baby.
50:03But that doesn't mean
50:04anyone killed it.
50:07Now, there is a two-hour
50:09discrepancy between the
50:12accounts we've heard.
50:14Two hours.
50:15who lied?
50:18The defendants?
50:21Mr. Hutton?
50:22The doorman at the club
50:24where Mr. Hutton was
50:25such a loyal member and
50:27generous tipper?
50:29Who lied?
50:30Or were they just
50:33confused?
50:34Did Georgia Hutton delay
50:36in asking for help, or did
50:37her father delay in giving
50:39it?
50:39And what of Rufus Barton?
50:41Where is he in all this?
50:43Is he really the innocent
50:44he pretends to be?
50:46Or is this not murder at
50:51all?
50:52Is this just a simple
50:54family tragedy in which
50:57a young girl was so
50:59terrified of disappointing
51:02her mother that she hid
51:05her pregnancy and when the
51:06baby came, it simply
51:08stopped breathing?
51:11Because it was born too
51:12soon.
51:14And Georgia Hutton may not
51:16have wanted her baby, but
51:17that is not to say she
51:19wanted it dead.
51:23So, who, if anyone, killed
51:29baby Hutton?
51:33I don't know.
51:34How much do you, beyond all
51:43reasonable doubt?
51:46How much do you reckon the
52:01Huttons are paying, Cosby?
52:02Well, I don't know, but they're
52:03getting the money's worth.
52:05So, you won't be looking them
52:07up after the case?
52:09Nah.
52:11I don't really do, posh
52:12boys.
52:14All those boarding school
52:15hang-ups.
52:16Yeah.
52:17Now, give me a bit of rough
52:19any day of the week.
52:20No, thank you for oversharing.
52:21Joey's back.
52:26Joey's back.
52:27Joey?
52:34On the charge of murder, how do you find the defendant, Rufus Barton?
52:40Not guilty.
52:42On the charge of murder, how do you find the defendant, Georgia Hutton?
52:49Not guilty.
52:50Oh, God.
53:12If that's justice, then what's the flipping point?
53:16You know?
53:16I mean, if it was a couple of hoodies in the dock...
53:18You've just got to be smarter next time.
53:20Hutton, what's he going to get?
53:21Two months for keeping his gob shut.
53:24It's a joke.
53:25Bad luck, Cor.
53:26Bad luck.
53:28No hard feelings, eh?
53:31Listen, I've got a dash.
53:33Mrs Hutton's buying me lunch.
53:34I reckon I might be in there.
53:36How do you sleep at night?
53:37Like a baby.
53:40Too soon.
53:40Listen, if you decide to defect to the dark side, you call me.
53:44I can introduce you to some people.
53:54Come on.
54:00Well, punishment of a sort, maybe.
54:04Well, he was one of our best-loved comedians, but behind all the laughter was a secret life
54:31of turmoil, the story of a national treasure.
54:34Tommy Cooper, not like that, like this.
