Episode 1

SCREAM SCREAM INAUDIBLE ARGUING OK, I'm going to tell him.
I'm going to.
- Don't say anything.
- Let me go! You're hurting me.
GLASS SHATTERS SHOWER RUNS, SEXUAL NOISES Alright? Someone call an ambulance.
FIRE ALARM SCREAM s01e01 35 HOURS TO GO I'll need them back at the end of the day, OK? OK? Thanks, Carwyn.
No problem, Steve.
Happy to help.
It was hot in there.
- Didn't you find it hot? - No, not really.
I'm sweating pints.
Is your thermostat playing up, Val? - Oh, don't move.
- What are you doing? The kids.
I want to talk to them.
I know he hasn't done anything.
- I'll be back for your phones now.
- They just fucking twist everything.
You're all fucking wrong.
You don't get it.
Oi! I want to see him, OK? Let me see him! He hasn't done anything, OK? This is a set-up.
He's never done fuck all to anyone! - OK, we're going, we're going.
- Not guilty, OK? You're being stupid now.
Don't call me stupid, right? You know I hate that.
Yeah? Right now, that's not your biggest problem.
Get a grip.
No, don't die on me! Lynwen, can I borrow your charger again? - What's happening? - Nothing.
Nothing.
Right, you know the drill.
Phones in here please, switched off.
- What was all that noise? - Nothing to worry about.
Was that the brother making all that noise? Poor dab.
He was gutted, wasn't he? Imagine if it was your brother.
Would you behave like that if he was guilty? How many times must I ask? Teabags in the food caddy, please.
Oh, I haven't spoken to David yet.
No phones until lunchtime now, Val.
His brother has been staring at me since the trial began.
- I don't blame him.
- He stares at me as well.
- An old trick, unnerving the foreman.
- Thanks, Haydn.
As if we needed reminding who the foreman is.
- Do I have time for a smoke? - That's up to the foreman.
Must you go now? I'd like to get on.
Listen, I can't concentrate without a fag.
And I need a piss.
OK, we'll take a ten-minute comfort break.
Ten minutes.
Don't catch anything.
Mobile phones are ten times dirtier than toilet seats.
You should see the toilet seat in our flat.
Do you mind if I sit here? You don't have to ask every day.
I had thought it would be an idea to sit in different seats today.
To change the dynamic of the room.
What do you think? - Good idea.
- I've only just sat down.
- Can't be arsed to shift, sorry.
- If people are happy, leave them, eh? OK, OK, just an idea.
- If you're happy where you are.
- Haydn, get me a coffee.
Milk, two sugars.
Steve, do you want a cuppa? No, he's fine.
Oh, and a digestive.
Right, I'm going to the toilet.
Pass that down for me, please.
Oh.
Most of it's in the saucer.
BUZZER, DOOR SLAMS SHU - Hello, Kelvin! - Hello.
MOANS OF PLEASURE SHE CRIES Hey, hey, hey, it's alright.
You're OK.
I don't know what that was.
I've never done anything like that before.
Nor me.
Nor me either.
God, we have to go.
I should have left instructions.
For God's sake, Val, he's a grown man.
I know, but I forgot to say the freezer's dodgy.
It defrosts then freezes, defrosts then freezes.
Got the picture, thanks.
You know, once defrosted, do not refreeze.
They just say that to cover themselves.
Best before.
What's that really about? It's common sense not to eat anything past the use-by date.
Best before, at a push, but use by, that's a bloody warning sign.
Five minutes, OK? Before we strive and achieve.
Fine, boss.
Strive and achieve.
Who the fuck says that? I don't get half of what he says.
Hey, I haven't finished that! Bloody Haydn.
Knobhead.
Right, are we all here? Peredur? Sorry, sorry.
Right, well, there are more ways than one to do this.
But we should start with a secret vote to see where we all stand.
Deliberating is pointless if everyone's agreed.
Sorry, but we have to discuss the case, Haydn.
We're talking murder here.
Yes, of course but will it change the nature of the discussion if we have unanimity? Sorry, Haydn.
Unanimity? Of one mind, in agreement, and you needn't put your hand up, Val.
- Oh.
- Unanimous, like.
Stop talking as if you've got a dictionary stuffed up your arse.
So, a vote to see where we stand? - What if we don't know? - That's a viable stance, Rhiannon.
- Ree.
- Sorry, Ree.
I suggest three options.
Guilty, not guilty or unsure.
Then we can discuss matters.
Listen, we have to start somewhere.
"Guilty" BUZZER Fuck! Hello, Kelvin! "Guilty" Hello, Kelvin! 34 HOURS TO GO Cool down, will you? Leights, for God's sake! - They're going to lock him up.
- OK, OK, chill out, yeah? You don't know what'll happen.
And anyway, you can't change the verdict.
OK, six guilty three not guilty two unsure "Fuck off Haydn x" and one not taking this seriously.
The majority has voted guilty.
Not the majority, Haydn, half.
More of us found him guilty than not guilty.
You heard the judge say that we have to be unanimous.
If six of us are certain that he's guilty it's worth considering that and knowing exactly why.
Well, you're obviously one of them.
Right, well Who agrees with me that the defendant is guilty? - Taz! - Soz, Val.
The DNA swung it for me.
He's as guilty as sin.
Right.
OK, well, the thing is, he was there.
He said it himself, he was there.
They were clearly more than friends, him and this Heulwen.
You can see how it can happen.
A lonely old woman lets a young man into her life.
He was skint.
She had loads of money.
And things just spiralled out of control, probably.
It happens all the time.
Well, not all the time, I suppose or a lot more people would be killing each other.
It does make sense that she wasn't thinking straight.
She'd just lost her husband.
She wasn't to know he was a psycho.
Some people are very good at hiding who they really are.
I think we need to steer matters towards the evidence.
What you're talking about now is what could have happened based on what you believe.
We're here to discuss only the facts of the case.
Nadine's right.
We're here to consider what we heard in court.
We don't need to think about anything else.
OK, Nadine.
Remind us what evidence we should consider.
Kelvin's DNA was in the bed upstairs and on the body.
His prints were everywhere, so he must have done it.
- I can see what you're trying to do.
- What? The pro-guilty arguments first.
Undermining anyone who disagrees.
- That's intimidation.
- By the time we speak up you hope we'll have changed our minds.
Isn't that against the rules? You follow rules when they suit you, eh? Do you think he did it? Come on! I I just don't know.
OK, we'll come to the don't-knows last.
Why last? Isn't that where we should start? Chrissake, this is meant to be a free-for-all, not a game show.
I saw a game show about jury service, just like this.
But you got 500 if you answered a question correctly.
Things like, what's the capital of Tanzania? Then they all argued and came up with a majority verdict.
Dodoma.
- Uh? - The capital of Tanzania.
Taz, you're a travel agent.
You'd be good on that, you would.
Dodoma! It sounds Welsh! "Wy'n dodoma 'nawr!" Can we come back to the case, please? Sorry, Haydn.
I'm all ears.
Nobody's perfect.
Moira, you think Kelvin's guilty.
Sorry, I think they should throw away the key.
Someone like him can't be out there taking advantage of people.
Carwyn? Do you want to say something? Um, yes.
What have you got to say? Yes.
Um, yes.
Guilty, definite.
We know that, but why? Carwyn? Because of everything they said.
It's bloody obvious, isn't it? Is this going to take much longer? - You've never liked him.
- That's not true.
- When's he moving out, Leights? - I just wanted us to have some space.
You'll have all the space you want now.
He's never coming back.
Never.
- Leights.
- I won't let them lock him up.
No bloody way.
God! Bloody pervert! She let him into the house.
There was no forced entry.
- Brought it on herself, eh, Haydn? - Heulwen isn't on trial.
If you ask me, he was after her money from the off.
She had no children.
Maybe she saw Kelvin as a son.
And he was looking for a mother figure, poor dab.
You don't kill your mother, do you? Come on! Well, if he wanted her money, and he has a low IQ - Who knows what he'd do? - Yes.
And what about the text she sent about eight that night? "You need to come back x" They haven't traced it.
It was an unregistered pay as you go number.
- But she was still afraid of someone.
- Yes, but - Maybe whoever she texted did it.
- This isn't making much sense, is it? Asking for help from your murderer? Maybe she'd started to play around with Kelvin then changed her mind, and things got out of hand.
A crime of passion, you mean? Some people on the estate did think he was obsessed with her.
- You don't kill someone you love.
- Well, people do.
Every day.
Haydn, this is immaterial.
Can we move on, please? - Haydn? - Um I think I need the toilet.
Excuse me.
Oh, God.
Bloody posh stuff again? Can't we just have a Chinese? Come on, babe, he's slogging his guts out to impress you.
MOBILE RINGS Answer the bloody thing, Leighton.
He didn't look very well.
He's not the right person to be foreman.
We voted for him, fair and square.
Matt, what do you think? If the foreman isn't doing the job, a vote of no confidence is possible.
- What? - A vote of no confidence.
Shouldn't we see who wants another vote? We're not going to vote whether to have a vote.
Come on, guys.
Let's just do it.
33 HOURS TO GO Shouldn't we wait for him to come back? - We've been waiting long enough.
- This feels a bit underhand to me.
What if he comes back now? It'll be so awkward.
- Shouldn't someone check on him? - Maybe he's constipated.
Wouldn't it be a fairer vote without Haydn here? My David takes ages in the toilet.
He spends more time there than with me.
- The older you get, the harder - Thanks, Val.
All those in favour of retaining Haydn as foreman? What's happening? - Haven't I been operating fairly? - That's a matter of opinion.
I've no problem with Haydn.
I've seen worse.
- Sorry, I have a problem with him.
- You have a problem with everyone.
Before you came in, no-one wanted you to remain foreman.
Come on, guys.
This is stupid.
- Let's do another one.
- To be fair, he did come in mid-vote.
Not another vote, please.
- I don't remember what it's about.
- Carwyn has a point.
This is about the case, not us.
Exactly.
It's our duty to make sure the case is discussed fairly, Mererid.
If we feel that the foreman is steering matters I'm not steering matters.
- I'm just trying to get some order.
- Exactly.
A total control freak.
Why must a man be in charge? Middle-class, white male.
Change the record, please.
If you want me to stand down, raise your hand now.
Nine-three.
We've had quite a morning.
I suggest we break for lunch.
An hour to think will benefit us all.
- Oh, for - Suits me.
I'm starving.
- Is everything OK? - We're breaking for lunch.
- Where are you off to? - Anywhere but here.
Lunchtime is my only break from these bloody clowns.
I'm going for lunch.
- Shall I keep you a place? - Oh, I've promised to meet someone.
Consider the case, if you can, but keep your thoughts to yourself.
Anyone would think you're the judge.
Do you want to grab a bite here or go for a walk? Oh, I'm not I'll have to phone home anyway.
OK.
I'm fine to stay here.
OK.
Flippin' heck! Eight missed calls.
There's not much wrong with him if he can phone you eight times.
Thank you.
How are things going? Slowly.
I presume you won't reach a verdict today.
- No, I can't see that happening.
- Right.
The defendant can be taken away and kept in custody overnight.
The whole thing's more complicated than I expected, to be honest.
It's like being back at school.
God, these salads are minging.
Oh, thank you.
- What on earth is that? - Nut roast.
- Oh.
Have you gone vegetarian? - Don't be soft.
I had chicken yesterday, pork the day before and turkey before that.
And last night, David and I went to the Phoenix for a beef Wellington.
Too much meat isn't good for you.
Everything OK? Yes.
Glwys, my daughter.
She's finding it hard, me being away from home.
She's used to having me around.
It's never easy for Mam to go anywhere.
I have two myself.
I do understand.
Well, as much as fathers can.
- Look - We don't have to discuss it.
- I don't want you to think - It was what it was.
I'm in a happy relationship.
We both have our own lives, Mererid.
But sometimes you just see a chance.
Do you want another coffee? I'm having one.
Yes.
Hiya, Ben.
Just checking in.
It's been a tough morning.
Anyway, I just wanted to hear your voice.
How do you expect me to lose weight in a week? - Starve yourself.
That cabbage diet.
- Um, ta-ra.
- I can't do that here.
- I'm like Bridezilla! Sorry.
I'll take it back and ask him to adjust it.
Come on.
Come on.
REVERSING VEHICLE BEEPS Shit! Leights, where are you? I hope you're not doing something stupid.
Look, I'm going home if you don't Stop! Stop it, Kelvin! Kelvin! BLOUSE TEARING Right then, sunshine.
What the hell is that? The thing is, Peredur, there were two psychological reports.
- But you seem to be ignoring one.
- I'm not ignoring it.
The other one was clearer.
Maybe he didn't understand what he'd done.
You remember the second one because the prosecution wants you to think that Kelvin doesn't know what an offence is.
To make it easier for you to find him guilty.
The first report sounded more realistic.
What was it? I'm confused.
That he wasn't competent enough to kill anyone.
Yes, sorry, that thick people can't kill.
That's bollocks.
Thick people? Sorry, people with low attainment.
You can see he's not right up here, poor dab.
I see a lot of that kind of people in the shop.
One of everything in the basket.
It breaks your heart, really, but talk to them and they're OK.
There's no way they can be murderers.
They can only just about follow a shopping list.
MOBILE PHONE Thank fuck.
Leights, what are you doing? I've been on pins here.
What do you expect me to do? That'll never work, Leights.
Hello? Oh, bloody hell! No way can I stop him.
32 HOURS TO GO What about the business that Kelvin had help? That other person's DNA? Well, I think that John bloke did it and framed Kelvin.
Maybe that's who Heulwen was texting, even.
What about the other DNA? - There was no match for those traces.
- No, the police couldn't find any.
I accept that's a chink in the prosecution's case.
Could this John be a friend being used to help Kelvin? The police haven't found him, anyway.
John isn't on trial.
We have to focus on Kelvin.
We have to forget John.
Just forget him.
We're not here to discuss him.
I've watched Kelvin in the dock.
I really don't think such a lad could kill someone.
Then there's his background.
I doubt if his background is relevant.
His mother had died of alcoholism.
He only had his brother.
My father liked a drink, but I'm not a killer.
- Yes, but - No, sorry.
We're always hearing about these things.
People who should be sectioned are being released to commit all sorts.
If he has mental problems, Moira is prison really the place for him? They have decided that he's mentally competent to stand trial.
They both had a tough upbringing, that's all I'm saying.
- He was an alcoholic himself.
- Oh, please! Enough of the violins.
OK, it's pretty shitty, but it doesn't excuse it.
I mean, our parents screw us up.
It's not news.
I get that.
I'm just saying that we should look at the wider picture.
I feel we haven't heard the whole story.
Something about this case doesn't make sense.
You're telling me.
He killed an innocent woman in her own home.
Who does such a thing? There's a lot about this case that doesn't add up.
I've seen cases like this before.
The police move too fast and don't consider all the implications.
Take this friend, John.
They never questioned him or went after him even though he vanished right after this happened.
And we need to consider how they gathered the evidence.
Kelvin was arrested there and then.
They never considered another suspect, did they? The police are corrupt, everyone knows that.
The police are under pressure to solve murders quickly.
We should presume innocence.
Innocent until proven guilty.
But that's the thing.
Have they proved he did it, or just that he was there? Good grief, we're going round in circles now.
Maybe he is innocent.
You changed your tune quickly.
It's important to keep an open mind.
- Aren't I free to change my opinion? - OK.
Only five say guilty now then.
Yes, well I'm swaying a bit.
I mean, this John person.
It could be him.
Maybe you should go back on the fence then, Taz? That takes us down to four.
Maybe we need to reassess where we are.
Don't you think, Haydn? OK, does anyone else want to change sides? To be honest, I'm wavering now.
I like to think that I have good intuition.
But if Moira here thinks Never mind what Moira thinks, it's what you think that counts.
OK.
I'm sticking to my guns.
Innocent.
I tend to agree.
Based on the evidence, there isn't enough to convict.
Hands up all those who think he's innocent.
Shit! Kelvin! Kelvin! - Kelvin! - Leights! I won't let them do this.
- Leighton! - I don't care what I saw! IMPACT, BRAKES SQUEAL Seven-five now, Haydn.
Perhaps it's time the rest of you reconsidered.
Hello? Hello? - Oh, come on, people, just agree.
- This isn't the way Sorry, I won't let him walk free.
He might come after me next.
We need the psychological reports It's a stitch-up.
Don't you see how stupid this is? Whatever we decide, we'll never know if we're right.
We're just people.
Imperfect people with all sorts of prejudices.
And we have to work out what's true.
Oh, bloody hell, what now? We're getting somewhere.
A problem has arisen.
I'll have to ask you to stop your deliberations.
- Are we dismissed? - No, not exactly.
- Are you sending us home? - No, I'm sorry, but - No-one's going home tonight.
- Are we confined to this building? - Whoa now.
- Is it terrorists? - You're going to a hotel overnight.
- No, sorry, that's not possible.
I'll fetch your phones.
Tell your families, and we'll arrange transport.
Haydn - Is this a fucking wind-up? - Ask her back to explain properly.
We deserve better than this.
SIREN Can they do this? - Why the hell would they? - Security.
It's the only reason for us all to stay together overnight.
- Isn't it, Matt? - Yes.
Matt? It's possible that they either think someone's trying to influence us - Or? - Or someone wants to harm us.
Oh, bloody hell! For your own safety, don't reveal the address of the hotel to anyone.
Are we in danger? If there are terrorists around, I want to know.
And don't discuss the case amongst yourselves from now on.
God, it's like bloody Glan-llyn.
You want to play first, eh? - Peredur - I know how to play.
Going somewhere? Are you allowed to lock us up like criminals? You can tell a lot from the eyes.
Hello? Consider it a break from real life, a chance to relax.
Relaxing? With someone after our blood? Kelvin! Kelvin! Who are you, Heulwen? Why did you let him into your life?
