The Goes Wrong Show (2019) s01e03 Episode Script
A Trial to Watch
1
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Welcome back
to Play of the Week,
where each week
a new play is performed live
in front of a studio audience
here in Cornley
and broadcast to the nation.
I am Chris Bean,
the Director.
Tonight I am thrilled
to present
the first legal drama
we've ever staged,
although, admittedly,
not the first
we've ever been involved in.
Before we begin,
I do have one "parish notice".
Unfortunately,
there has been an error
with the technical drawings
for the courtroom set.
While the dimensions
were written in inches,
they were interpreted
by the builders
in centimeters
so that does mean
the courtroom
is a little snug.
But I'm sure
you will barely notice.
So, the actors
are prepared,
the stage is set.
This play is
"A Trial to Watch."
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[NERVOUSLY]
You look nervous.
Maybe a little.
Well, don't worry
about the judge.
I've got Shawcroft
wrapped around
my little sleeve.
Ever since
the Weatherby case,
I've had a real finger
up his ace.
In all my years
on the force,
I've never seen a judge
throw out so much evidence.
I'd be willing to bet
good money that
I'm going to stop you
right there.
Isn't that what got you
chucked off the force
to begin with?
Betting too much money
on things?
Remember, Jack, I
-[MURMURS] I know
what I'm doing.
-I know what I'm doing.
I'm the best defense lawyer
in the country.
You're the best
defense lawyer
in the country.
No, you are.
I am?
I'm the best
defense lawyer
in the country.
You're right,
I'm in good hands
Well, well, well,
look who it is.
It's, uh, it's
-Becky Sandhurst.
-Becky Sandhurst.
Leader of the prostitution.
JACK: Prosecution.
She's my sex life
-JACK: Ex-wife
-Ex-wife.
She's my ex-wife.
Morning, Karl,
you're looking well.
Morning, Karl,
you're looking well.
How's Jess, long pause.
Come on, Becky,
I've every right
to ask about my daughter.
She's fine.
Hope she's not
too disappointed
when her mom
loses the case.
Loses?
You might as well
give up now.
We have the truth
on our side.
[CHUCKLES] Since when
has the truth mattered?
I get off
with all my clients.
You get all
of your clients off.
I do,
and that's why
I'm gonna get Jacked off.
Get Jack off?
You know me,
I don't have
any scrup-ulay?
Yes, and your lack of scruples
is exactly the reason
why I don't allow you
to see your daughter anymore.
I know
you still love me, Becky.
The man I loved
knew the difference
between right and wrong.
-Sexual tension
thrums between them.
-Okay.
I'll see you in court.
[GROANS]
Oh, God!
All rise.
Morning.
Be seated.
Order!
[LOUD ECHOING GAVEL BANGS]
Bailiff, please summon
the jury.
BAILIFF: Summon the jury!
Come along, please.
I've got to.
I'm before you.
Ow! Stop pushing.
Stop pushing.
Stop it now. Stop it.
Call the defendant
to the dock.
Defendant to the dock.
Jack Inwood,
you stand here on trial
before a jury of three
of your peers.
You are charged with
the murder of your brother,
Nigel Terence Inwood.
Counsel, how does
your client plead?
Guilty your honor.
Not guilty.
The script says guilty.
Not guilty now,
that's later.
Not guilty now
but guilty later.
Have the jury elected
a foreman?
BAILIFF: They have, Milord.
Would the foreman
please rise.
-He's in the hall.
-Moving on.
Madam prosecutor, proceed
Your Honor [GRUNTS]
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
-I put it to you
-[KARL EXCLAIMING IN PAIN]
that the defendant
killed his brother
in cold blood on the night
of August the 11th.
You will hear how
Nigel Inwood returned home
expecting to see
his wife Angela Inwood MP,
but instead was faced
with his brother
who was waiting for him
in the living room
[ECHOING] Living room
Living room Living room
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Don't worry,
it's going to be okay.
Angela, I'm home.
Nigel,
you're home early,
aren't you?
What are you doing here?
I needed to talk to you.
-Can I pour you a brandy?
-Sure.
Haven't seen you in a while.
Mind if I finish the bottle?
Go ahead.
[EXHALES]
Place looks different.
Have you redecorated?
Well, we're halfway there.
-Who's this?
-That's me.
Bit of a hobby of mine.
Do it every Saturday.
Always the show off.
Look, Jack, just spit it out.
What have you got to say?
Whoa!
[SCREAMS]
What have you got to say?
I can't pay you back
the money.
You know what
your problem is, Jack?
I'm sure
you're going to tell me.
You're selfish.
You just take,
and you take and you take.
What do you want me
to say? I lost it.
At the casino?
I'm sorry.
This is the last straw.
-Ha!
-Calm down, Nige.
Argh!
I'm bleeding.
[PANTING] I'm bleeding.
I'm bleeding.
[CLICKING]
Blood.
[MIMICS BLOOD SQUIRTING]
This is Professor
Imogen Winterbottom
beginning autopsy report
for Nigel Inwood.
[SCREAMS]
[PANTING]
Oh!
Subject is male, aged 29.
No residual scars
or markings.
There is an acute laceration
to the chest
Oh, cold.
from a sharp object.
Making first incision.
[SCREAMS]
Internal organs
appear uncontaminated.
Oh!
No foreign bodies.
Nothing unusual.
Ugh.
Proceeding to the heart.
Thank you!
The heart has been pierced,
lacerations to the first
and fourth ventricle.
The nature
of the lacerations
The nature of the lacerations
indicates the assailant
would have been left-handed
and approximately six foot tall.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Approximately
six foot tall.
Mr. Inwood,
could you please stand up
to your full height?
The attacker was six foot.
Mr. Inwood stands at
At two foot nine,
exactly the same.
Erection!
Objection.
How can you object
to that, Karl?
What's the matter, Becky,
can't keep up?
Order in court!
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
That's quite all right,
please proceed.
My client is innocent.
I'll be the one
to decide that, Mr. McKennon.
You're just trying
to undermine me
because I'm your ex-wife.
Are you really going to
let her speak to me
like that Milord?
Order, order,
stop this at once.
Don't you know who I am?
Mr. McKennon,
on this occasion
the court will be glad
to uphold your erection
Objection!
Is there anything
you'd like to add?
Yes, Your Honor.
Some arrogant legal stuff
and a line about him
being right-handed
that's important
for the plot later.
My God you're good.
Do you request a mistrial?
I request a mistrial.
Request denied.
The prosecution
will now question Mr. Inwood.
Mr. Inwood,
did you hate your brother?
This is outrageous.
-Mr. Inwood.
-[GAVEL BANG ECHOING]
Bailiff, Bailiff!
Please join
the defendant in the dock.
If you can't conduct
yourself appropriately
you shall have
to be supervised.
Mr. Inwood,
you were waiting
in your brother's house
with the intention
to kill him, weren't you?
That's not true.
The evening started
just as you described,
I was waiting for Nigel
in his living room.
[ECHOES] Living room
[ECHOING STOPS]
Living room.
Living room. Living room.
Living room. Living room.
Living room.
Living room. Living room!
Living room!
[SCREAMS] Living room!
[SCREAMS] Living room!
Living room!
[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Living room.
Don't worry,
it's going to be okay.
Angela, I'm home
Whoa!
Nigel, you're home early,
aren't you?
What are you doing here?
I needed to talk to you.
Can I pour you a brandy?
Haven't seen you in a while.
Mind if I finish the bottle?
[NERVOUSLY] Go ahead.
[GROANS]
[HOARSELY]
Place looks different,
have you redecorated?
[STRAINED]
We're halfway there.
Who's this?
That's me.
It's a bit of
a hobby of mine.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I do it every Saturday.
Always showing off.
Look, Jack,
just spit it out.
What have you got to say?
I can't pay you back
the money.
Do you know
what your problem is, Jack?
I'm sure
you're going to tell me.
You're selfish.
You just take and you take
and you take.
[JACK GROANS]
What do you want me
to say, I lost it.
[SCREAMS] At the casino?
I'm sorry!
This is the last straw.
Calm down, Nige!
Ahhh!
Ah!
-Ha!
-Ha!
[MIMICKING GRUNTS]
Oh! [PANTS]
I've fallen on my own knife.
I'm bleeding.
I'm bleeding.
Blood
[MIMICS BLOOD SQUIRTING]
[IMITATING HEARTBEAT]
Boom boom.
Boom boom. Boom boom.
Boom.
[SCREAMS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
And that's how it happened.
I didn't stab Nigel.
He fell on the letter opener
he was using to attack me.
I'm completely innocent.
No further questions, Milord.
Court is adjourned
until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
[GAVEL SOUND EFFECT ECHOES]
Thanks for today.
You really are the best.
Jack,
is there something
you need to tell me?
How do you mean?
Because if there is,
now's the time
while we're alone.
I've told you
everything already.
Do you want to change
your plea now?
There might be time.
Justice Shawcroft can be
surprisingly flexible.
If you're found guilty,
he might not be so lenient.
He's a serious man.
SHAWCROFT:
Oh, this is cobblers.
Don't worry about it.
You really crushed
that prosecutor today.
You don't think
I was too hard on her?
I'm not paying you
to have a conscience.
I'm paying you to get me off.
Jack you off.
Here's your check.
I thought you were
right-handed?
Oh, yes, of course.
Jack, you left your
My God!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Have a pleasant evening,
Ms. Stokes,
I have some work to do
in my chambers.
-Goodnight, Your Honor.
-Goodnight.
[GROANS]
Inwood,
what are you doing here?
Judge, I have something
I need to discuss.
Very well, take a seat.
Right Inwood,
what do you want?
You don't remember me,
do you?
Maybe you should
check my file.
That's easily done,
I have it just here.
I can't read in this light.
Much better.
Good Lord!
You ought to read
your case files
more carefully.
[CHOKES]
I'll have you know
I always thoroughly digest
every case file I receive.
Perhaps you don't
recognize me
out of my uniform.
Uniform? Not, Constable Inwood?
That's right,
I know all about
the hush money
you took on
the Weatherby case.
Watch your tone,
there's no room
for big headedness
in my chambers.
You'd better call
a mistrial tomorrow.
Get out.
Don't make
an enemy of me judge.
Take your foot
out of the door.
Think about it.
[GRUNTS]
[PHONE RINGS]
I can't answer it, can I?
Morning, mind if I join you?
Can't stop you.
We need to talk.
I've got nothing to say.
But I need you to trust me.
Why should I?
You're a cheat, Karl.
Listen,
I'm calling Nigel's wife
to the stand today.
[GASPS] Great, there'll be
a media circus in there,
just how you like it.
I think Jack's lying.
He's left-handed.
Oh, you just don't get it,
do you,
you think that
all of this is a game,
that the winning
is more important
than how you do it.
-I promise, I've changed.
-No!
-Things are moving
too quickly, Karl.
-[TREADMILL BEEPING]
you may be
the better lawyer
but when it comes
to raising a child
you've got to be
more than that.
You've got to be
the better person.
That's what I'm doing now.
Oh, try and keep up, Karl.
Jack left his phone in court.
You should see
the messages on it.
Here, you were right.
-The truth is on your side.
-[SCREAMS]
[TURNS OFF TREADMILL]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Remember, it's not about us,
it's about just us.
Justice.
Karl, wait
Yeah?
Thanks.
Just be ready.
I'll see you in court.
Good morning.
I'm Henry Brown.
I'm standing outside
the Old Bailey Courthouse
where a jury has just heard
the defense
make its final statement.
[GLITCHING] I was
just escorted
out of the trial
for gripping myself
Now we have to wait
to see what the jury decides.
And perhaps
[CONTINUES GLITCHING]
Reporting.
All rise.
Be seated.
Mr. McKennon,
I've been reviewing
the case
and I've come
to the conclusion
that given
the lack of evidence
you're request for a mistrial
is perhaps warranted
after all.
What? Well, that's outrageous.
Order in court.
-[GAVEL SOUND EFFECT PLAYS]
-Order in court!
Everyone settle down.
Your Honor,
I withdraw my request.
You can't do this.
This is most irregular.
Why are you rejecting
the mistrial, McKennon?
Because I'm tired
of getting off
with guilty men.
The trial will continue.
Ms. Sandhurst, your witness.
The prosecution calls
Angela Inwood MP to the stand.
Ms. Inwood,
your relationship
with the defendant,
your husband's brother,
is simply a friendship, yes?
-'Course.
-Mmm.
Then how do you explain
these text messages,
clearly showing you
were involved in an affair
and placing you
at the scene of the crime.
It's true!
Jack and I were lovers,
but neither of us
intended for Nigel to die.
It started off as a night
of passion and happiness
[ECHOES] piness
Did you hear that?
It's Nigel,
he mustn't see us.
Quick, hide
in the wardrobe.
Hide.
-[SOFTLY] I don't want to.
-You have to.
Don't worry,
it's going to be okay.
No, no no!
NIGEL: Angela, I'm home.
Hello, Nigel,
you're home early,
aren't you?
What are you doing here?
I needed to talk to you.
Can I pour you a brandy?
Sure.
Haven't see you in a while.
Mind if I finish the bottle?

I can't pay you back
the money.
Do you know
what your problem is?
I'm sure
you're going to tell me.
You're selfish.
You just take
and you take and you take.
[SCREAMS] Argh!
What do you want me
to say, I lost it?
You are unbelievable.
Angela?
What's going on here?
[GROANS] I can explain.
You're having an affair.
This is the last straw.
Calm down, Nige.
[BOTH EXCLAIMING]
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
Put the knife down, Jack.
[GRUNTS]
-Ha!
-No! What have you done?
I'm bleeding.
It's not true,
I didn't do it.
No further questions, Milord.
In light
of this new testimony,
I am prepared
to find the defendant
guilty as charged.
This court is adjourned.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Karl, what you did in there
was incredible.
It just goes to show,
it's not about the winning,
-it's about justice.
-Just us.
Karl, wait!
You were right
about one more thing.
Yeah?
I do still love you.
And I love
-You.
-And I love me.
They kiss. Roll credits.

[SCREAMS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
And that's how it happened.
I didn't stab Nigel.
He fell on the letter opener
he was using to attack me.
I'm completely innocent.
No further questions, Milord.
Court is adjourned
until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
[GAVEL SOUND EFFECT ECHOES]
Thanks for today.
You really are the best.
Jack,
is there something
you need to tell me?
How do you mean?
Because if there is,
now's the time
while we're alone.
I've told you
everything already.
Do you want to change
your plea now?
There might be time.
Justice Shawcroft can be
surprisingly flexible.
If you're found guilty,
he might not be so lenient.
He's a serious man.
SHAWCROFT:
Oh, this is cobblers.
Don't worry about it.
You really crushed
that prosecutor today.
You don't think
I was too hard on her?
I'm not paying you
to have a conscience.
I'm paying you to get me off.
Jack you off.
Here's your check.
I thought you were
right-handed?
Oh, yes, of course.
Jack, you left your
My God!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Have a pleasant evening,
Ms. Stokes,
I have some work to do
in my chambers.
-Goodnight, Your Honor.
-Goodnight.
[GROANS]
Inwood,
what are you doing here?
Judge, I have something
I need to discuss.
Very well, take a seat.
Right Inwood,
what do you want?
You don't remember me,
do you?
Maybe you should
check my file.
That's easily done,
I have it just here.
I can't read in this light.
Much better.
Good Lord!
You ought to read
your case files
more carefully.
[CHOKES]
I'll have you know
I always thoroughly digest
every case file I receive.
Perhaps you don't
recognize me
out of my uniform.
Uniform? Not, Constable Inwood?
That's right,
I know all about
the hush money
you took on
the Weatherby case.
Watch your tone,
there's no room
for big headedness
in my chambers.
You'd better call
a mistrial tomorrow.
Get out.
Don't make
an enemy of me judge.
Take your foot
out of the door.
Think about it.
[GRUNTS]
[PHONE RINGS]
I can't answer it, can I?
Morning, mind if I join you?
Can't stop you.
We need to talk.
I've got nothing to say.
But I need you to trust me.
Why should I?
You're a cheat, Karl.
Listen,
I'm calling Nigel's wife
to the stand today.
[GASPS] Great, there'll be
a media circus in there,
just how you like it.
I think Jack's lying.
He's left-handed.
Oh, you just don't get it,
do you,
you think that
all of this is a game,
that the winning
is more important
than how you do it.
-I promise, I've changed.
-No!
-Things are moving
too quickly, Karl.
-[TREADMILL BEEPING]
you may be
the better lawyer
but when it comes
to raising a child
you've got to be
more than that.
You've got to be
the better person.
That's what I'm doing now.
Oh, try and keep up, Karl.
Jack left his phone in court.
You should see
the messages on it.
Here, you were right.
-The truth is on your side.
-[SCREAMS]
[TURNS OFF TREADMILL]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Remember, it's not about us,
it's about just us.
Justice.
Karl, wait
Yeah?
Thanks.
Just be ready.
I'll see you in court.
Good morning.
I'm Henry Brown.
I'm standing outside
the Old Bailey Courthouse
where a jury has just heard
the defense
make its final statement.
[GLITCHING] I was
just escorted
out of the trial
for gripping myself
Now we have to wait
to see what the jury decides.
And perhaps
[CONTINUES GLITCHING]
Reporting.
All rise.
Be seated.
Mr. McKennon,
I've been reviewing
the case
and I've come
to the conclusion
that given
the lack of evidence
you're request for a mistrial
is perhaps warranted
after all.
What? Well, that's outrageous.
Order in court.
-[GAVEL SOUND EFFECT PLAYS]
-Order in court!
Everyone settle down.
Your Honor,
I withdraw my request.
You can't do this.
This is most irregular.
Why are you rejecting
the mistrial, McKennon?
Because I'm tired
of getting off
with guilty men.
The trial will continue.
Ms. Sandhurst, your witness.
The prosecution calls
Angela Inwood MP to the stand.
Ms. Inwood,
your relationship
with the defendant,
your husband's brother,
is simply a friendship, yes?
-'Course.
-Mmm.
Then how do you explain
these text messages,
clearly showing you
were involved in an affair
and placing you
at the scene of the crime.
It's true!
Jack and I were lovers,
but neither of us
intended for Nigel to die.
It started off as a night
of passion and happiness
[ECHOES] piness
Did you hear that?
It's Nigel,
he mustn't see us.
Quick, hide
in the wardrobe.
Hide.
-[SOFTLY] I don't want to.
-You have to.
Don't worry,
it's going to be okay.
No, no no!
NIGEL: Angela, I'm home.
Hello, Nigel,
you're home early,
aren't you?
What are you doing here?
I needed to talk to you.
Can I pour you a brandy?
Sure.
Haven't see you in a while.
Mind if I finish the bottle?
Go ahead.
Place looks different,
have you decorated?
Well, we're halfway there.
Who's this?
[VOICE SHAKING]
That's me.
Bit of a hobby of mine.
Do it every Saturday.
Always showing off.
Look, Jack,
just spit it out.
What have you got to say?
I can't pay you back
the money.
Do you know
what your problem is?
I'm sure
you're going to tell me.
You're selfish.
You just take
and you take and you take.
[SCREAMS] Argh!
What do you want me
to say, I lost it?
You are unbelievable.
Angela?
What's going on here?
[GROANS] I can explain.
You're having an affair.
This is the last straw.
Calm down, Nige.
[BOTH EXCLAIMING]
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
Put the knife down, Jack.
[GRUNTS]
-Ha!
-No! What have you done?
I'm bleeding.
It's not true,
I didn't do it.
No further questions, Milord.
In light
of this new testimony,
I am prepared
to find the defendant
guilty as charged.
This court is adjourned.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Karl, what you did in there
was incredible.
It just goes to show,
it's not about the winning,
-it's about justice.
-Just us.
Karl, wait!
You were right
about one more thing.
Yeah?
I do still love you.
And I love
-You.
-And I love me.
They kiss. Roll credits.
