00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,832
Nothing.
189
00:11:13,937 --> 00:11:15,848
But you were there, on the cliffs?
190
00:11:15,952 --> 00:11:18,176
Well, I was some distance away, and it was weeks ago.
191
00:11:18,281 --> 00:11:18,942
Right, yeah.
192
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,401
So what happened?
193
00:11:20,505 --> 00:11:22,103
Well, there were two climbers, and one fell off.
194
00:11:24,746 --> 00:11:26,901
HALL: You been saying a lot more than that.
195
00:11:27,004 --> 00:11:27,944
I wasn't watching them.
196
00:11:28,047 --> 00:11:29,194
I was watching the guillemots.
197
00:11:29,298 --> 00:11:30,341
Did you know either of 'em?
198
00:11:30,445 --> 00:11:32,184
Who, Barrington and Denton?
199
00:11:32,288 --> 00:11:33,469
Yeah, I seen 'em about.
200
00:11:33,574 --> 00:11:35,659
- Did Denton slip? - Well, I don't know.
201
00:11:35,764 --> 00:11:37,572
Come on, don't waste my time-- why were you shooting
202
00:11:37,676 --> 00:11:39,100
your mouth off in the pub?
203
00:11:39,205 --> 00:11:41,186
I'd had a few too many, I suppose.
204
00:11:41,290 --> 00:11:43,584
You got some grudge against Mr. Barrington?
205
00:11:43,688 --> 00:11:44,940
(SCOFFS) No!
206
00:11:45,043 --> 00:11:46,817
I don't like him, mind.
207
00:11:46,921 --> 00:11:48,450
I don't like climbers.
208
00:11:48,554 --> 00:11:51,265
Disturb the birds, frighten the chicks.
209
00:11:51,369 --> 00:11:52,552
So you didn't see anything.
210
00:11:52,656 --> 00:11:54,359
No.
211
00:11:54,463 --> 00:11:56,305
I just had too much to drink, that's all.
212
00:11:56,409 --> 00:11:58,216
I saw nothing. - Right.
213
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,886
Well then, keep your trap shut, OK?
214
00:12:07,601 --> 00:12:11,181
[distant telephone trilling]
215
00:12:16,638 --> 00:12:17,437
Yes, sir?
216
00:12:17,541 --> 00:12:19,210
I want to speak to Mr. Wycliffe.
217
00:12:19,314 --> 00:12:21,608
Doug will be gone for months, I should think.
218
00:12:21,712 --> 00:12:24,110
But don't let that influence your decision.
219
00:12:24,215 --> 00:12:26,405
You're entitled to your full maternity benefit.
220
00:12:26,509 --> 00:12:27,448
Whenever you-- yes?
221
00:12:27,552 --> 00:12:28,803
Sorry.
222
00:12:28,907 --> 00:12:31,549
Sir, Hugh Barrington's solicitor's downstairs.
223
00:12:31,653 --> 00:12:32,592
What's he up to?
224
00:12:32,696 --> 00:12:33,564
Better go see.
225
00:12:38,604 --> 00:12:41,037
Good thing you're a hard worker, eh Ken?
226
00:12:41,141 --> 00:12:42,045
Sorry.
227
00:12:42,149 --> 00:12:43,818
Sir.
228
00:12:43,922 --> 00:12:45,000
Why?
229
00:12:45,104 --> 00:12:47,467
Lane will be going on maternity leave soon,
230
00:12:47,572 --> 00:12:49,692
so you'll have two inspectors' work to cover.
231
00:12:54,697 --> 00:12:57,234
[telephone trilling]
232
00:12:57,338 --> 00:12:59,458
Mr. Barrington.
233
00:12:59,562 --> 00:13:00,779
I brought my solicitor.
234
00:13:00,883 --> 00:13:01,718
Mark Kennedy.
235
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:02,865
How do you do?
236
00:13:02,969 --> 00:13:04,533
Detective Superintendent Wycliffe.
237
00:13:04,637 --> 00:13:07,592
This is Detective Inspector Lane.
238
00:13:07,696 --> 00:13:10,407
I want to make a statement, or whatever it is I have to do.
239
00:13:10,511 --> 00:13:12,284
In connection with what?
240
00:13:12,388 --> 00:13:13,814
Penwarren.
241
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,934
I've heard he's been saying things about the accident.
242
00:13:16,037 --> 00:13:18,888
I have enough grief to deal with without some crazy twitcher
243
00:13:18,992 --> 00:13:19,966
making trouble.
244
00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:21,877
You know Toby Penwarren?
245
00:13:21,982 --> 00:13:23,963
[huffs] He's always having a go at us climbers.
246
00:13:24,066 --> 00:13:26,534
He says we disturb his precious birds or something.
247
00:13:26,638 --> 00:13:28,097
Well, I understand your concern,
248
00:13:28,203 --> 00:13:30,218
but I've no wish to interview you at present.
249
00:13:30,323 --> 00:13:32,478
But that's not good enough.
250
00:13:32,582 --> 00:13:34,911
My client has been accused of murdering a close friend.
251
00:13:35,014 --> 00:13:37,830
He's eager to set the record straight.
252
00:13:37,935 --> 00:13:39,777
Mr. Barrington's already given a statement
253
00:13:39,881 --> 00:13:41,166
to the coroner's officer.
254
00:13:41,270 --> 00:13:42,905
For the time being, that's all that's required.
255
00:13:43,009 --> 00:13:44,504
No. I want this sorted out.
256
00:13:44,608 --> 00:13:49,230
Are you going to stop Penwarren upsetting people?
257
00:13:49,335 --> 00:13:51,107
Perhaps we should discuss this in private.
258
00:13:57,293 --> 00:13:59,797
Do you know anything about climbing?
259
00:13:59,901 --> 00:14:02,056
No.
260
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,775
BARRINGTON: We were on a new route-- the Ice Maiden.
261
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:07,200
I was at the top of the cliff, and Gareth
262
00:14:07,304 --> 00:14:08,834
was half up the third pitch when he
263
00:14:08,938 --> 00:14:10,641
slipped and fell on his rope.
264
00:14:10,745 --> 00:14:12,448
It meant that he was swaying about,
265
00:14:12,552 --> 00:14:15,750
dragging the rope over the edge of the cliff.
266
00:14:15,854 --> 00:14:18,391
Granite can be pretty rough.
267
00:14:18,496 --> 00:14:19,608
The rope frayed and broke.
268
00:14:19,713 --> 00:14:21,311
He fell.
269
00:14:21,415 --> 00:14:22,702
Would you sit down, please?
270
00:14:29,792 --> 00:14:32,329
How long had you known Gareth Denton?
271
00:14:32,433 --> 00:14:34,623
Hm-- about eight years.
272
00:14:34,727 --> 00:14:36,813
Must be hard for you, then.
273
00:14:36,917 --> 00:14:38,551
Climbing is an unforgiving sport.
274
00:14:41,609 --> 00:14:43,973
Don't need your sympathy-- there's no point whinging when
275
00:14:44,077 --> 00:14:46,789
someone gets hurt in this game.
276
00:14:46,893 --> 00:14:48,874
Did you have any business dealings together?
277
00:14:48,978 --> 00:14:52,036
BARRINGTON: No. Just climbing partners.
278
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:54,296
And you were friends?
279
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,938
He knew the risks.
280
00:14:57,041 --> 00:14:58,467
Gareth died doing something that he
281
00:14:58,571 --> 00:15:01,247
was totally passionate about-- that is not a tragedy.
282
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:04,619
It was an accident.
283
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:08,790
Gareth slipped and fell.
284
00:15:08,894 --> 00:15:10,493
The rope broke.
285
00:15:10,597 --> 00:15:14,211
You should be questioning the rope manufacturers.
286
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:15,637
The rope is at present undergoing
287
00:15:15,741 --> 00:15:17,131
scientific examination.
288
00:15:17,235 --> 00:15:21,162
It might have got wet when we started out.
289
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:23,456
Eh, seawater can harm nylon rope.
290
00:15:23,561 --> 00:15:27,280
As it dries out, tiny salt crystals are left inside.
291
00:15:27,384 --> 00:15:29,052
When the fibers stretch under tension,
292
00:15:29,157 --> 00:15:32,111
they can be cut by the crystals.
293
00:15:32,215 --> 00:15:34,127
I see.
294
00:15:34,231 --> 00:15:37,046
Is there anything else you want to know?
295
00:15:37,151 --> 00:15:38,019
Not just at present.
296
00:15:38,124 --> 00:15:38,959
Thank you.
297
00:15:41,148 --> 00:15:43,407
Soon as we've had the report from the technical committee,
298
00:15:43,511 --> 00:15:44,833
we'll be in touch.
299
00:15:44,937 --> 00:15:48,969
You don't know anything about climbing.
300
00:15:49,072 --> 00:15:51,992
If their findings support your account,
301
00:15:52,096 --> 00:15:54,529
that'll be the end of the matter.
302
00:15:54,633 --> 00:15:56,719
You think climbing's about danger.
303
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:57,936
[grim music]
304
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:00,194
You're wrong.
305
00:16:00,299 --> 00:16:02,071
It's about something really profound,
306
00:16:02,176 --> 00:16:05,582
about living on the edge.
307
00:16:05,687 --> 00:16:08,258
When you've experienced the greatest exaltation
308
00:16:08,362 --> 00:16:11,909
and exhilaration you can imagine, death doesn't matter.
309
00:16:12,012 --> 00:16:13,542
Not to someone like Gareth.
310
00:16:13,646 --> 00:16:14,619
You have to understand that.
311
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:18,825
I'll bear that in mind.
312
00:16:18,930 --> 00:16:21,187
Gareth couldn't care less about physical risks--
313
00:16:21,292 --> 00:16:23,691
that's not the point.
314
00:16:23,795 --> 00:16:25,811
It's the demons inside your head you have to fight.
315
00:16:29,599 --> 00:16:31,580
Do you ever feel that?
316
00:16:31,685 --> 00:16:37,802
That the real danger is in here?
317
00:16:37,907 --> 00:16:40,200
If you don't mind, I have other work to do.
318
00:16:40,304 --> 00:16:41,765
I mean, you face danger in your job.
319
00:16:41,869 --> 00:16:43,745
You must've thought about it, being in a situation when
320
00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:45,762
you might die.
321
00:16:45,866 --> 00:16:48,263
When you join the police, you accepted risks,
322
00:16:48,368 --> 00:16:52,226
the same as a climber does.
323
00:16:52,330 --> 00:16:54,798
I know you understand.
324
00:16:54,903 --> 00:16:58,169
(SOFTLY) Understand what?
325
00:16:58,274 --> 00:17:01,993
That it wouldn't really matter if you died tomorrow.
326
00:17:02,096 --> 00:17:07,484
Just knowing what it's like, being out there on the edge,
327
00:17:07,589 --> 00:17:10,787
you keep reliving that moment.
328
00:17:10,891 --> 00:17:13,288
That's all that counts.
329
00:17:13,393 --> 00:17:15,374
The rest are worthless.
330
00:17:15,478 --> 00:17:16,417

00:17:23,368 --> 00:17:24,306
(SOFTLY) I'm fine.

[seabirds calling]
334
00:17:36,332 --> 00:17:37,897
Laura Starkie?
335
00:17:38,001 --> 00:17:38,870
No.
336
00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:40,712
LANE: Is Laura in?
337
00:17:40,817 --> 00:17:43,006
Yes, but she's not in a good way at the moment--
338
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:45,091
her boyfriend's just died. - Yes, I know.
339
00:17:45,196 --> 00:17:47,560
That's why I'm here. I'm Detective Inspector Lane.
340
00:17:47,664 --> 00:17:49,158
May I come in?
341
00:17:49,262 --> 00:17:51,382
Yes.
342
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:54,928
Laura's so pleased you're sorting this out.
343
00:17:55,032 --> 00:17:57,743
Come through.
344
00:17:57,847 --> 00:17:58,926
Laura.
345
00:17:59,029 --> 00:18:01,497
This is Detective Inspector Lane.
346
00:18:01,601 --> 00:18:02,330
Hi.
347
00:18:02,435 --> 00:18:03,408
You work with Mr. Wycliffe?
348
00:18:03,513 --> 00:18:04,729
Yes, that's right.
349
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:05,772
Sit down.
350
00:18:05,877 --> 00:18:06,641
Thanks.
351
00:18:06,745 --> 00:18:09,074
I'm really grateful.
352
00:18:09,178 --> 00:18:10,185
How can I help?
353
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:11,889
Well, I just need to get some background
354
00:18:11,993 --> 00:18:14,600
information, really, on Gareth and his relationship
355
00:18:14,704 --> 00:18:16,094
with Hugh Barrington.
356
00:18:16,199 --> 00:18:17,972
Oh-- you'd better know.
357
00:18:18,076 --> 00:18:19,223
I live with Hugh.
358
00:18:19,327 --> 00:18:20,822
We've been together a couple of years.
359
00:18:20,927 --> 00:18:22,177
Right.
360
00:18:22,281 --> 00:18:24,958
So you know about the allegation against him.
361
00:18:25,061 --> 00:18:26,208
Yes.
362
00:18:26,313 --> 00:18:28,189
But he saw Mr. Wycliffe yesterday.
363
00:18:28,294 --> 00:18:30,867
He said it would all be sorted out.
364
00:18:30,971 --> 00:18:32,360
They had a really special bond.
365
00:18:32,465 --> 00:18:35,384
You do when you climb hard.
366
00:18:35,489 --> 00:18:37,087
Like blood brothers.
367
00:18:37,191 --> 00:18:41,432
Laura and I, we're just on the sidelines.
368
00:18:41,537 --> 00:18:44,004
How long had they been climbing partners?
369
00:18:44,108 --> 00:18:46,438
About six or seven years.
370
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:47,967
He used to climb with other people too.
371
00:18:51,686 --> 00:18:53,911
There was something between them,
372
00:18:54,014 --> 00:18:55,787
although you couldn't tell if you were with them.
373
00:18:55,892 --> 00:18:58,150
They used to wind each other up something rotten.
374
00:18:58,254 --> 00:19:01,278
Well, you get very hyped up when you're climbing.
375
00:19:01,382 --> 00:19:03,573
Sometimes you need a partner who'll psych you up just to get
376
00:19:03,677 --> 00:19:05,345
you over a really serious move.
377
00:19:05,449 --> 00:19:08,404
They were always trying to outmaneuver each other.
378
00:19:08,508 --> 00:19:10,524
But it was never serious.
379
00:19:10,628 --> 00:19:13,165
Gareth never minded the things Hugh said,
380
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:15,111
never took them seriously.
381
00:19:15,215 --> 00:19:17,615
They could both be impossible.
382
00:19:17,719 --> 00:19:20,360
All climbers are.
383
00:19:20,465 --> 00:19:22,967
They can seem really selfish, but it's
384
00:19:23,071 --> 00:19:26,791
just that it takes a lot to stay centered, keep focused.
385
00:19:26,895 --> 00:19:28,041
That's all.
386
00:19:28,146 --> 00:19:30,857
Gareth loved Hugh.
387
00:19:30,961 --> 00:19:31,831
Trusted him with his life.
388
00:19:35,027 --> 00:19:37,112
Feeding the rat, they call it.
389
00:19:37,218 --> 00:19:38,956
Complete addiction to the adrenaline rush
390
00:19:39,059 --> 00:19:40,554
of fear and excitement.
391
00:19:40,659 --> 00:19:41,701
I was just the same.
392
00:19:41,806 --> 00:19:45,420
Dave, unclip the rope first.
393
00:19:45,524 --> 00:19:48,757
Is rock climbing really that dangerous?
394
00:19:48,861 --> 00:19:50,495
Why are you here?
395
00:19:50,599 --> 00:19:54,422
Gareth Denton was a superb climber, a local legend.
396
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:55,709
He's dead.
397
00:19:55,813 --> 00:19:57,585
You knew him?
398
00:19:57,689 --> 00:19:58,871
Yes.
399
00:19:58,976 --> 00:20:00,122
Nice guy.
400
00:20:00,226 --> 00:20:01,304
Absolutely fearless.
401
00:20:01,408 --> 00:20:03,563
Stupendous technical climber, too.
402
00:20:03,668 --> 00:20:06,865
Doesn't it bother you people when somebody gets killed?
403
00:20:06,969 --> 00:20:09,228
Nature of the obsession, I suppose.
404
00:20:09,332 --> 00:20:12,218
Once you're hooked, nothing else matters.
405
00:20:12,322 --> 00:20:16,632
Jobs, houses, not even women half the time.
406
00:20:16,736 --> 00:20:18,056
What about Hugh Barrington?
407
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,447
You ever climb with him?
408
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:20,734
No, never.
409
00:20:20,838 --> 00:20:22,158
Good climber, though.
410
00:20:22,262 --> 00:20:25,808
A real hard man, very ambitious, competitive.
411
00:20:25,912 --> 00:20:26,990
In what way?
412
00:20:27,094 --> 00:20:28,066
Not exactly a race.
413
00:20:28,171 --> 00:20:30,569
Eh, It's difficult to explain.
414
00:20:30,673 --> 00:20:33,489
You're after the purest possible experience,
415
00:20:33,593 --> 00:20:36,826

416
00:20:36,930 --> 00:20:39,224
and nature in perfect harmony.
417
00:20:39,328 --> 00:20:42,004
But it takes a hell of a lot of determination.
418
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:44,124
Eh, check that rope.
419
00:20:44,228 --> 00:20:46,175
To hear some climbers talk, you'd think they're
420
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:47,670
all laid-back hippie types.
421
00:20:47,774 --> 00:20:49,059
Not a bit of it.

you'll ever meet.
424
00:20:52,536 --> 00:20:54,100
Is Barrington like that?
425
00:20:54,204 --> 00:20:55,316
Yeah.
426
00:20:55,421 --> 00:20:56,846
Reckon he'd take that as a compliment.
427
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:06,891
A police officer came to see Laura today.
428
00:21:06,996 --> 00:21:09,567
She was asking about you and Gareth.
429
00:21:09,671 --> 00:21:10,818

What if they think it wasn't an accident?
433
00:21:18,778 --> 00:21:21,105
Look, Gareth's dead.
434
00:21:21,210 --> 00:21:22,531
They're just doing their job.

There's nothing I can do about it.
436
00:21:25,276 --> 00:21:27,467
Oh, but-- please, Hugh.
437
00:21:27,571 --> 00:21:30,107
You must talk to me.
438
00:21:30,213 --> 00:21:32,889
If you don't share things with me--
439
00:21:32,993 --> 00:21:36,155
I've no idea how you feel about all this,

I'm sorry.
446
00:21:49,224 --> 00:21:51,379
Since Gareth died, you've not said one
447
00:21:51,484 --> 00:21:53,221
word to me about how you feel.
448
00:21:53,325 --> 00:21:54,159
You were so close!

Oh yes, I met him.

00:23:18,445 --> 00:23:20,322
He seemed very keen.

No.

She decided that before she knew she was pregnant,
471
00:23:26,474 --> 00:23:29,394
so she's no reason to feel any differently now.

Is this the report from the British Mountaineering Council?

00:23:57,860 --> 00:23:59,911
GARLAND: Yes-- eh, milk, no sugar!
488

HELEN: OK.
489
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:02,970
Yes, they sent Denton's climbing rope off
490
00:24:03,073 --> 00:24:06,131
to some textile expert in Leeds.
491
00:24:06,237 --> 00:24:07,696
Under the microscope, it shows clearly
492
00:24:07,801 --> 00:24:10,616
that a long section of the underside of the rope where it
493
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,319
passed over the edge of the cliff
494
00:24:12,423 --> 00:24:15,377

495
00:24:15,482 --> 00:24:17,219

But-- eh, doesn't nylon rope bear enormous strain?
500
00:24:26,778 --> 00:24:28,516
It can be cut easily when stretched.
501
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:32,303
That rope broke because it was struck from above.
502
00:24:32,409 --> 00:24:34,667
Maybe by a piece of rock.
503
00:24:34,773 --> 00:24:36,127

Excuse the pun.
506
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:40,785
It's due to the amount of fusion damage,
507
00:24:40,889 --> 00:24:43,148
apparently-- it's all down there in the report,
508
00:24:43,252 --> 00:24:44,712

00:24:44,816 --> 00:24:45,651

GARLAND: Oh, you want to watch out for one clause at the end.
512
00:24:49,439 --> 00:24:51,768
According to the expert, it's still possible that the break
513
00:24:51,873 --> 00:24:53,854
could have happened naturally.
514
00:24:53,958 --> 00:24:55,348
How?
515
00:24:55,453 --> 00:24:58,302
Well, if a rock just happened to fall on the rope.
516
00:24:58,407 --> 00:24:59,624

Having kids never made you want to give up.

00:27:07,494 --> 00:27:09,440
Maybe I was wrong.
562
00:27:09,544 --> 00:27:13,090
I'm lucky to be here, lucky that you and the kids are all right.

You of all people should know that.

You've been injured before, you've been threatened before,
569

00:27:38,428 --> 00:27:41,764

Was there anything special about that last climb they did?

576
00:27:55,076 --> 00:27:56,084
Mm.
577
00:27:56,188 --> 00:27:57,823
It was the second ascent of a new route
578
00:27:57,927 --> 00:28:00,568
Gareth and Hugh had pioneered.
579
00:28:00,673 --> 00:28:02,236
It was a kind of obsession with both of them
580
00:28:02,340 --> 00:28:05,051
to find new and complex routes.
581
00:28:05,156 --> 00:28:07,694
They wanted to do a free climb.
582
00:28:07,798 --> 00:28:09,431
What does that mean?
583
00:28:09,535 --> 00:28:13,532
Well, you use nuts and pegs to tie a rope into,
584
00:28:13,636 --> 00:28:15,443
but the aim is to use the natural cracks
585
00:28:15,549 --> 00:28:17,356
and ledges in the rock itself.
586
00:28:17,460 --> 00:28:19,127
That's a free climb.
587
00:28:19,232 --> 00:28:21,944
On the Ice Maiden, the most difficult section
588
00:28:22,047 --> 00:28:24,272
is the second pitch.
589
00:28:24,377 --> 00:28:28,930
The first time they climbed it, Hugh led.
590
00:28:29,034 --> 00:28:31,780
He had to use two points of aid--
591
00:28:31,884 --> 00:28:34,039
had to rest on a couple of pegs.
592
00:28:34,143 --> 00:28:35,743
And this last time?
593
00:28:35,847 --> 00:28:38,070
Gareth led.
594
00:28:38,174 --> 00:28:40,121
He did a free climb.
595
00:28:40,225 --> 00:28:42,485
No points of aid.
596
00:28:42,589 --> 00:28:44,466
But does it really matter?
597
00:28:44,571 --> 00:28:48,081
Surely, as climbing partners, they'd share the credit anyway.
598
00:28:48,185 --> 00:28:52,669
It shouldn't matter, but it's not as pure.
599
00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:54,128
It's not what you aim for--
600
00:28:54,233 --> 00:28:56,944
there's no glory in it.
601
00:28:57,047 --> 00:28:58,264
It would bother Hugh.
602
00:29:01,636 --> 00:29:04,382
This is where some climbers start to psych themselves up--
603
00:29:04,486 --> 00:29:06,328
right here, in the car park.
604
00:29:06,432 --> 00:29:07,649
How's that then?

You're operating at the ultimate pitch of

607
00:29:13,106 --> 00:29:15,538
You don't deal with the psychological stress,
608
00:29:15,644 --> 00:29:18,528
you climb badly.
609
00:29:18,632 --> 00:29:21,726
Temperament is every bit as important as fitness.
610
00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:24,889
I've watched a little bit of rock climbing and abseiling.
611
00:29:24,993 --> 00:29:27,043
They said it was just a matter of faith,
612
00:29:27,147 --> 00:29:29,024
believing in yourself.
613
00:29:29,129 --> 00:29:31,353
Think they never had any faith at all.

No, it's a particular route up the cliff face.

Well, Barrington was on top of the cliff,
660

and he seemed to raise his hand as if he was hitting
661
00:31:56,812 --> 00:31:58,410
something, and then straight away,
662
00:31:58,514 --> 00:32:00,043
the other one dropped like a stone.
663

Well, it wouldn't be there naturally.

with mud, when you put your hand in,

Maybe Barrington made Denton fall.
681
00:32:51,623 --> 00:32:54,403

would be enough to make him slip?

00:35:08,217 --> 00:35:09,260
[huffs]
737
00:35:09,365 --> 00:35:10,269
Carry onward, you've got nowhere
738
00:35:10,373 --> 00:35:13,501
to go with this fantasy.
739
00:35:13,605 --> 00:35:15,551
All right, all right.
740
00:35:15,655 --> 00:35:17,707
Perhaps we can start by clarifying
741
00:35:17,811 --> 00:35:22,572
some points in the statement you gave to the coroner's officer.
742
00:35:22,677 --> 00:35:26,048
Now these are topographical photographs of an area
743
00:35:26,152 --> 00:35:29,141
of cliff known as [inaudible].
744
00:35:29,246 --> 00:35:33,277
I'm now referring to exhibit CW1.
745
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:35,224
This is where you were climbing, yes?
746
00:35:35,328 --> 00:35:36,441
That's right.
747
00:35:36,545 --> 00:35:39,360
Now when Gareth Denton fell, you were
748
00:35:39,465 --> 00:35:42,349
here at the top of the cliff?
749
00:35:42,453 --> 00:35:43,670
Yeah.
750
00:35:43,774 --> 00:35:46,000
Can you show me exactly where Denton was when he fell?
751
00:35:50,343 --> 00:35:56,252
Just here-- it's a difficult transition.
752
00:35:56,356 --> 00:35:58,685
Thank you.
753
00:35:58,790 --> 00:36:01,257
As you know, Gareth Denton's climbing rope
754
00:36:01,361 --> 00:36:03,447
was sent to a textiles expert for examination.
755
00:36:03,551 --> 00:36:04,420
Would you sit down, please?
756
00:36:09,982 --> 00:36:14,847
In part, his findings support what you say.
757
00:36:14,952 --> 00:36:16,376
Good.
758
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,609
The underside of the rope does show significant signs
759
00:36:19,713 --> 00:36:24,405
of fusion damage, in keeping with the rope being dragged
760
00:36:24,510 --> 00:36:27,325
and frayed on a sharp edge.
761
00:36:27,429 --> 00:36:28,750
See?
762
00:36:28,855 --> 00:36:31,739
But that wouldn't be enough to break the rope.
763
00:36:31,843 --> 00:36:33,025
Denton's should have had plenty of time
764
00:36:33,129 --> 00:36:34,380
to make his way to safety.
765
00:36:34,485 --> 00:36:37,022
No-- the fibers on the top surface of the rope
766
00:36:37,126 --> 00:36:40,324
were severed with a clean, instantaneous
767
00:36:40,428 --> 00:36:46,545
cut exactly as if someone had struck the rope with a rock.
768
00:36:46,649 --> 00:36:47,970
Did you strike the rope?
769
00:36:48,074 --> 00:36:49,430
No.
770
00:36:49,535 --> 00:36:52,280
[scoffs] A rock may have hit the rope, but I wasn't holding it.
771
00:36:59,997 --> 00:37:03,750
You confirmed just now that, when Denton fell,
772
00:37:03,855 --> 00:37:05,418
you were here--
773
00:37:05,523 --> 00:37:09,380
right at the top of this crag, the highest point on the cliff.
774
00:37:15,046 --> 00:37:17,444
Now you said that the point at which Denton slipped
775
00:37:17,548 --> 00:37:20,920
was a difficult transition, yes?
776
00:37:21,024 --> 00:37:22,728
An awkward move for a climber to make.
777
00:37:22,832 --> 00:37:24,048
Yes.
778
00:37:24,152 --> 00:37:25,682
WYCLIFFE: There's only one narrow foothold
779
00:37:25,786 --> 00:37:28,253
available in the whole area of rock, in the shape of a crack--
780
00:37:28,357 --> 00:37:31,974
here, is that right?
781
00:37:32,077 --> 00:37:33,815
(FIRMLY) Is that right?
782
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:35,866
Possibly.
783
00:37:35,970 --> 00:37:41,392
A crack which had been deliberately smeared with mud
784
00:37:41,496 --> 00:37:43,616
picked up from a ledge below.
785
00:37:43,721 --> 00:37:46,397
Maybe you're wondering how we know that.
786
00:37:46,501 --> 00:37:47,822
Major Jim Hornby--
787
00:37:47,927 --> 00:37:50,150
I think you know him-- climbed a part of that route for us
788
00:37:50,254 --> 00:37:51,541
this morning.
789
00:37:51,645 --> 00:37:54,461
He slipped and fell exactly where Denton did.
790
00:37:54,565 --> 00:37:56,999
Quite a coincidence, don't you think?
791
00:37:57,102 --> 00:37:58,944
You knew what would happen when Gareth tried to get
792
00:37:59,048 --> 00:38:01,412
a toehold of the slippery mud you placed in the crack,
793
00:38:01,516 --> 00:38:02,941
didn't you?
794
00:38:03,045 --> 00:38:03,984
This actual hold?
795
00:38:04,087 --> 00:38:05,340
Don't know what you're talking about.
796
00:38:05,444 --> 00:38:08,154
You waited for him to fall, you watched him,
797
00:38:08,258 --> 00:38:11,596
and then you let out the rope so he was left hanging in space.
798
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:13,299
Otherwise, his rope would have broken his fall
799
00:38:13,403 --> 00:38:15,106
before he reached the overhang!
800
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:19,381
You wanted Gareth to be helpless, didn't you?
801
00:38:19,486 --> 00:38:20,667
How long was he hanging there?
802
00:38:20,771 --> 00:38:21,467
Barely a minute.
803
00:38:21,571 --> 00:38:23,065
It happened very fast.
804
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:24,978
If he'd had more time, he'd have manage to [inaudible] his way
805
00:38:25,081 --> 00:38:25,846
back up.
806
00:38:25,951 --> 00:38:27,201
Which is why you cut the rope.
807
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:28,801
Oh, god.
808
00:38:28,905 --> 00:38:30,469
We're not going to go over the same ground again and again,
809
00:38:30,573 --> 00:38:32,136
are we?
810
00:38:32,241 --> 00:38:36,273
Listen, I don't care what this crazy twitcher says.
811
00:38:36,377 --> 00:38:39,923
All you've got is a load of supposition.
812
00:38:40,027 --> 00:38:41,138
The rope was cut.
813
00:38:41,243 --> 00:38:43,746
I don't care what your expert says--
814
00:38:43,851 --> 00:38:46,039
the rope got wet.
815
00:38:46,144 --> 00:38:49,098
It was damaged by salt crystals.
816
00:38:49,202 --> 00:38:50,628
You're on a hiding to nothing.
817
00:38:54,173 --> 00:38:56,919
OK.
818
00:38:57,023 --> 00:38:58,483
Perhaps we should take a break now.
819
00:39:04,078 --> 00:39:08,423
You know the eh, the other day, when
820
00:39:08,527 --> 00:39:11,760
we were talking about dying.
821
00:39:11,864 --> 00:39:16,731
Mr. Kennedy told me you got shot.
822
00:39:16,835 --> 00:39:19,024
It was in the papers.
823
00:39:19,128 --> 00:39:20,067
That's right.
824
00:39:20,171 --> 00:39:22,326
I knew you'd been there, hm?
825
00:39:22,430 --> 00:39:25,315
To the edge.
826
00:39:25,419 --> 00:39:26,880
Yep.
827
00:39:26,984 --> 00:39:28,478
BARRINGTON: You learn to recognize it.
828
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:29,590
It's a look.
829
00:39:33,483 --> 00:39:37,411
WYCLIFFE: Tell me, what was Garrett's philosophy?
830
00:39:37,515 --> 00:39:39,913
We both live for climbing.
831
00:39:40,017 --> 00:39:44,432
But his attitude was different.
832
00:39:44,536 --> 00:39:47,107
More relaxed, easy.
833
00:39:47,212 --> 00:39:48,428
He was a free spirit, was he?
834
00:39:48,533 --> 00:39:52,217
[scoffs] Pleased with himself, more like.
835
00:39:52,321 --> 00:39:54,232
WYCLIFFE: But a good temperament for a climber.
836
00:39:54,337 --> 00:39:55,728
Yeah. Maybe.
837
00:39:55,832 --> 00:39:58,856
I mean, he was never fighting the demons in his head,
838
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,810
like you, [inaudible] He just loved
839
00:40:01,914 --> 00:40:03,757
the thrill of moving over the rock,
840
00:40:03,861 --> 00:40:07,754
the eh, beauty of wild places.
841
00:40:07,858 --> 00:40:08,901
He was a clown.
842
00:40:09,004 --> 00:40:11,959
WYCLIFFE: Not when he was climbing.
843
00:40:12,062 --> 00:40:16,269
And Gareth was a better climber than you, wasn't he?
844
00:40:16,373 --> 00:40:19,083
Not because he was stronger or more agile, but because of who
845
00:40:19,189 --> 00:40:21,865
he was.
846
00:40:21,970 --> 00:40:24,715
He never lost his concentration, did he?
847
00:40:24,819 --> 00:40:29,651
Never froze with fear or exhausted himself from pumping
848
00:40:29,755 --> 00:40:32,396
too much adrenaline.
849
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:35,385
Like you did, when you led that second pitch on the Ice Maiden.
850
00:40:35,490 --> 00:40:38,479
BARRINGTON: Who've you been talking to?
851
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:40,286
Tell me, um.
852
00:40:40,390 --> 00:40:43,135
When Gareth managed a free climb on that second pitch,
853
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,256
how did you feel? What did you feel?
854
00:40:45,361 --> 00:40:46,194
Nothing.
855
00:40:46,299 --> 00:40:48,663
(SHOUTS) Nothing?
856
00:40:48,767 --> 00:40:51,756
You were overwhelmed by your feelings!
857
00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:53,354
That's always been the problem, hasn't it?
858
00:40:53,459 --> 00:40:54,745
Coping with how you feel.
859
00:40:54,850 --> 00:40:56,170
I didn't feel anything.
860
00:40:56,274 --> 00:40:57,421
That's not true.
861
00:40:57,525 --> 00:40:58,742
You're trying to psych me up now-- you're trying
862
00:40:58,847 --> 00:41:00,097
to get inside my head.
863
00:41:00,201 --> 00:41:02,774
People don't kill because they feel nothing.
864
00:41:02,878 --> 00:41:04,338
The cold blooded killer who just blows
865
00:41:04,442 --> 00:41:06,075
people away doesn't happen.
866
00:41:06,179 --> 00:41:07,292
Well, I wouldn't know.
867
00:41:07,396 --> 00:41:09,794
WYCLIFFE: So what was it then, hm?
868
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:11,567
A sudden surge of jealousy?
869
00:41:11,671 --> 00:41:12,576
Rage?
870
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,723
Hatred?
871
00:41:13,827 --> 00:41:15,251
That you couldn't cope with any other way?
872
00:41:15,355 --> 00:41:18,762
[grim music]
873
00:41:20,674 --> 00:41:24,219
I know you killed him!
874
00:41:24,323 --> 00:41:26,617
Then prove it.
875
00:41:26,722 --> 00:41:28,216
Go on.
876
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,711
Arrest me.
877
00:41:29,815 --> 00:41:32,178
Charge me.
878
00:41:32,283 --> 00:41:33,986
But until you've got more evidence than this,
879
00:41:34,090 --> 00:41:36,454
just get out of my face.
880
00:41:40,032 --> 00:41:42,744
Mr. Barrington, I must advise you to remain and answer
881
00:41:42,849 --> 00:41:43,753
any further questions.
882
00:41:43,857 --> 00:41:44,900
You answer them.
883
00:41:49,104 --> 00:41:52,407
My client does have the right to leave.
884
00:41:52,511 --> 00:41:54,075
We were finished for the day anyway.
885
00:42:02,626 --> 00:42:06,170
[telephone trilling]
886
00:42:11,488 --> 00:42:14,199
They've gone.
887
00:42:14,303 --> 00:42:16,459
Do you want to see again tomorrow?
888
00:42:16,563 --> 00:42:18,961
We'll see.
889
00:42:19,065 --> 00:42:20,838
You all right?
890
00:42:20,943 --> 00:42:23,131
I just don't understand why we're giving up so easily.
891
00:42:23,236 --> 00:42:24,314
It's obvious he's guilty.
892
00:42:24,418 --> 00:42:26,712
WYCLIFFE: I know.
893
00:42:26,816 --> 00:42:31,335
Barrington killed Gareth Denton-- we both know that.
894
00:42:31,439 --> 00:42:32,899
But a good barrister will drive a coach
895
00:42:33,002 --> 00:42:35,506
and horses through the evidence if it ever goes to court.
896
00:42:35,610 --> 00:42:37,696
I just think if we pushed harder, he would've confessed.
897
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:38,668
Oh, no.
898
00:42:38,773 --> 00:42:40,580
No, no, no.
899
00:42:40,684 --> 00:42:41,831
It's too deep inside his head--
900
00:42:41,936 --> 00:42:44,125
something he'll never admit to.
901
00:42:44,229 --> 00:42:46,489
An admission is the only chance we've got.
902
00:42:46,593 --> 00:42:47,426
I know, I know.
903
00:42:47,532 --> 00:42:48,365
I know.
904
00:42:53,162 --> 00:42:53,997
Just have another go.
905
00:42:59,731 --> 00:43:03,311
[seabirds calling]
906
00:43:11,549 --> 00:43:14,711
Rat leaving the sinking ship.
907
00:43:14,815 --> 00:43:17,492
I thought I'd stay with Laura for a few days.
908
00:43:17,596 --> 00:43:19,508
She could do with some support.
909
00:43:19,612 --> 00:43:20,655
Suit yourself.
910
00:43:23,366 --> 00:43:25,764
Look, she needs me.
911
00:43:25,869 --> 00:43:27,641
We're all upset.
912
00:43:27,746 --> 00:43:28,788
It's hard to know what to think.
913
00:43:28,893 --> 00:43:30,177
We should stick together.
914
00:43:30,283 --> 00:43:32,124
I can't stay any longer if you won't talk to me.
915
00:43:32,228 --> 00:43:34,731
BARRINGTON: Go on then. Go ahead.
916
00:43:34,836 --> 00:43:35,879
Please, Hugh.
917
00:43:35,983 --> 00:43:37,790
It's only for a few days.
918
00:43:37,895 --> 00:43:39,041
BARRINGTON: I said fine.
919
00:43:39,145 --> 00:43:42,934
I've tried to talk to you, and you don't listen!
920
00:43:43,038 --> 00:43:47,521
Does Laura know about you and Gareth?
921
00:43:47,626 --> 00:43:49,538
What?
922
00:43:49,642 --> 00:43:51,449
Come on.
923
00:43:51,554 --> 00:43:53,605
I'm not stupid.
924
00:43:53,709 --> 00:43:56,002
What about me and Gareth?
925
00:43:56,106 --> 00:43:58,887
I know all about what you got up to.
926
00:43:58,992 --> 00:44:02,015
We were friends.
927
00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:04,483
You went to bed with him.
928
00:44:04,587 --> 00:44:08,097
What are you talking about?
929
00:44:08,202 --> 00:44:09,558
When?
930
00:44:09,662 --> 00:44:12,999
Come on-- you said you know all about it!
931
00:44:13,102 --> 00:44:15,292
That time when I was in Chamonix.
932
00:44:15,396 --> 00:44:18,943
Oh, Hugh.
933
00:44:19,046 --> 00:44:21,549
Of course I loved Gareth.
934
00:44:21,653 --> 00:44:24,504
He was a lovely man.
935
00:44:24,608 --> 00:44:27,075
But I never slept with him, and that's the truth.
936
00:44:30,308 --> 00:44:32,950
But why are you saying this now?
937
00:44:33,053 --> 00:44:34,653
It's months since you were in Chamonix.
938
00:44:39,031 --> 00:44:42,194
Have you been thinking all this time that--
939
00:44:42,298 --> 00:44:43,655
and you never said anything?
940
00:44:47,930 --> 00:44:49,598
Forget it.
941
00:44:49,702 --> 00:44:52,239
Just go away.

Hm.
945
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,511
I think so, too.
946
00:45:13,615 --> 00:45:16,917
There've been a few times when I wondered.
947
00:45:17,021 --> 00:45:19,001
I know.
948
00:45:19,107 --> 00:45:22,061
And what about you?
949
00:45:22,165 --> 00:45:23,103
I'm fine.
950
00:45:23,208 --> 00:45:24,181
HELEN: Really?
951
00:45:24,285 --> 00:45:25,119
Mm.
952
00:45:25,223 --> 00:45:27,030
I'm very happy.
953
00:45:27,135 --> 00:45:31,654
Are you sure about managing on your own, though?
954
00:45:31,758 --> 00:45:32,662
Hm.
955
00:45:32,767 --> 00:45:33,844

[women chuckle]
957
00:45:37,215 --> 00:45:40,343
HELEN: Part of the reason we moved down here
958
00:45:40,448 --> 00:45:42,672
was that there'd be more things that Charlie
959
00:45:42,776 --> 00:45:47,120
could do with Ruth and David.
960
00:45:47,224 --> 00:45:51,744
It does make a difference, you know, having a father around.
961
00:45:51,848 --> 00:45:53,272
Angus will be around.
962
00:45:53,377 --> 00:45:56,505
I'm-- I'm not gonna cut him out of my life completely.
963
00:45:56,609 --> 00:46:00,884
It wasn't your life I was thinking about.
964
00:46:00,989 --> 00:46:02,205
I hear what you're saying, Helen.
965
00:46:02,309 --> 00:46:04,430
I-- I just feel that there's plenty of time,
966
00:46:04,534 --> 00:46:09,191
and I don't want to make any decisions that I'm going
967
00:46:09,295 --> 00:46:13,466
to regret later on, that's all.
968
00:46:13,571 --> 00:46:17,150
[telephone trilling]
969
00:46:19,166 --> 00:46:20,139
Well, Mr. Barrington.
970
00:46:20,244 --> 00:46:23,615
What can I do for you?
971
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:25,005
I want to talk to you.
972
00:46:25,110 --> 00:46:26,639
I see.
973
00:46:26,744 --> 00:46:29,037
You'd be advised to have your solicitor present.
974
00:46:29,141 --> 00:46:30,358
No.
975
00:46:30,462 --> 00:46:32,235
Just you and me.
976
00:46:32,339 --> 00:46:34,633
As you wish.
977
00:46:34,737 --> 00:46:37,553
You're still under caution, don't forget.
978
00:46:37,657 --> 00:46:39,186
Anything you say may be given in evidence.
979
00:46:39,290 --> 00:46:40,124
Fine.
980
00:46:40,229 --> 00:46:40,925
Whatever.
981
00:46:41,028 --> 00:46:43,531
Let's just get on with it.
982
00:46:43,635 --> 00:46:46,172
So why did he want to kill you, this man who shot you?
983
00:46:46,277 --> 00:46:47,737
WYCLIFFE: I got in his way, stopped
984
00:46:47,842 --> 00:46:49,301
him doing what he wanted.
985
00:46:49,405 --> 00:46:51,073
BARRINGTON: Scared you, did it?
986
00:46:51,178 --> 00:46:53,367
Yes.
987
00:46:53,472 --> 00:46:55,036
But it's a thrill too, isn't it?
988
00:46:55,140 --> 00:46:55,974
Surviving.
989
00:46:58,581 --> 00:46:59,450
No, there's no thrill.
990
00:46:59,554 --> 00:47:01,988
Not for me.
991
00:47:02,091 --> 00:47:03,134
Why?
992
00:47:03,238 --> 00:47:04,489
There's people I care about who'd
993
00:47:04,594 --> 00:47:07,409
be badly affected by my death.
994
00:47:07,513 --> 00:47:08,626
That hurts too much.
995
00:47:08,730 --> 00:47:09,877
You still came back to work.
996
00:47:09,981 --> 00:47:11,720
It could happen again.
997
00:47:11,824 --> 00:47:12,693
True.
998
00:47:12,797 --> 00:47:15,751
Yes.
999
00:47:15,855 --> 00:47:17,175
Why do you risk your life?
1000
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,625
[scoffs] Spend the rest of my days staring at the ground?
1001
00:47:21,729 --> 00:47:24,301
I'd like to go like Gareth did, just when
1002
00:47:24,405 --> 00:47:26,456
I'd done my best climb ever.
1003
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,812
So what's wrong with ordinary life?
1004
00:47:27,916 --> 00:47:30,488
[barrington scoffs]
1005
00:47:30,593 --> 00:47:33,825
Mending the washing machine?
1006
00:47:33,929 --> 00:47:34,938
Getting the car serviced?
1007
00:47:35,041 --> 00:47:36,535
Pushing a supermarket trolley?
1008
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:38,204
But I can't cling on to all that.
1009
00:47:38,308 --> 00:47:41,749
It's worthless.
1010
00:47:41,853 --> 00:47:45,120
You told me the other day that-- eh, the only
1011
00:47:45,225 --> 00:47:48,631
real challenge was in here.
1012
00:47:48,735 --> 00:47:50,473
Fighting the demons in your head.
1013
00:47:50,577 --> 00:47:53,428
Is it any different for you?
1014
00:47:53,532 --> 00:47:56,242
Yeah.
1015
00:47:56,347 --> 00:48:00,379
I can more or less cope with what's in my head.
1016
00:48:00,483 --> 00:48:01,456
Scared of dying?
1017
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,577
I admit it.
1018
00:48:03,681 --> 00:48:04,341
I love my life--
1019
00:48:04,446 --> 00:48:05,523
I don't want to lose it.
1020
00:48:08,234 --> 00:48:10,667
So.
1021
00:48:10,772 --> 00:48:14,699
Tell me about that last line with Gareth.
1022
00:48:14,803 --> 00:48:17,375
Gareth was leading that difficult second pitch,
1023
00:48:17,479 --> 00:48:19,947
wasn't he?
1024
00:48:20,050 --> 00:48:22,658
The one where you'd had to use--
1025
00:48:22,763 --> 00:48:26,342
was it two points of aid?
1026
00:48:26,447 --> 00:48:29,331
You were on the first belay looking up,
1027
00:48:29,435 --> 00:48:31,765
and you could see him from there.
1028
00:48:31,869 --> 00:48:35,066
He took his time.
1029
00:48:35,170 --> 00:48:37,152
Never rushed it.
1030
00:48:37,256 --> 00:48:40,871
Managed all the hard moves.
1031
00:48:40,975 --> 00:48:45,458
And the lay back, I thought he'd be drained, you know,
1032
00:48:45,563 --> 00:48:46,432
like I'd been.
1033
00:48:46,536 --> 00:48:48,865
But he-- he wasn't.
1034
00:48:48,969 --> 00:48:50,429
Were you envious?
1035
00:48:50,533 --> 00:48:53,035
He-- he'd been stretched to the physical limit, but he
1036
00:48:53,139 --> 00:48:56,546
was hardly out of breath.
1037
00:48:56,651 --> 00:48:58,423
And what did he say when he'd done it?
1038
00:48:58,527 --> 00:49:01,134
Oh, he was--
1039
00:49:01,238 --> 00:49:04,158
he was so happy, he was ecstatic.
1040
00:49:04,262 --> 00:49:08,293
Not just for him-- it was always for both of us,
1041
00:49:08,398 --> 00:49:14,864
but then he just sat there, looking out to sea,
1042
00:49:14,968 --> 00:49:18,025
enjoying himself.
1043
00:49:18,130 --> 00:49:21,362
So then you led the third pitch.
1044
00:49:26,089 --> 00:49:28,070
When did it occur to you to doctor the crack?
1045
00:49:28,175 --> 00:49:30,677
[grim music]
1046
00:49:30,782 --> 00:49:32,415
You're competitive, yes?
1047
00:49:35,195 --> 00:49:39,889
You and Gareth used to wind each other up,
1048
00:49:39,993 --> 00:49:41,035
trying to out-maneuver each other.
1049
00:49:41,139 --> 00:49:43,816
That's right, isn't it?
1050
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,380
Was that what the mud was all about?
1051
00:49:49,203 --> 00:49:50,872
Yeah.
1052
00:49:50,976 --> 00:49:54,173
Well, I wanted to make him feel what it was like for the rest
1053
00:49:54,277 --> 00:49:55,702
of us, you know.
1054
00:49:55,808 --> 00:49:59,213
Give him a good fright.
1055
00:49:59,317 --> 00:50:03,697
So he reached the top, then you watched him come up.
1056
00:50:03,801 --> 00:50:07,938
You watched him slip and then fall on his rope.
1057
00:50:08,041 --> 00:50:09,362
There was no real risk--
1058
00:50:09,467 --> 00:50:12,351
I'd made sure I'd put enough bolts to hold him.
1059
00:50:12,455 --> 00:50:16,035
WYCLIFFE: And then what happened?
1060
00:50:16,139 --> 00:50:16,835
He laughed.
1061
00:50:16,940 --> 00:50:21,770
[huffs] Like it was fun.
1062
00:50:21,875 --> 00:50:23,751
So I let out the rope.
1063
00:50:23,856 --> 00:50:26,671
But he still wasn't scared.
1064
00:50:26,775 --> 00:50:30,599
Were you scared when that guy pointed the gun at you?
1065
00:50:30,703 --> 00:50:33,762
I was terrified.
1066
00:50:33,866 --> 00:50:35,569
Yeah.
1067
00:50:35,673 --> 00:50:40,191
I'm scared when I climb, but you know, I can control it, use it.
1068
00:50:40,296 --> 00:50:42,241
It's good.
1069
00:50:42,347 --> 00:50:44,884
Wears me out.
1070
00:50:44,988 --> 00:50:48,603
So if it had been you on the end of the rope,
1071
00:50:48,707 --> 00:50:51,383
how would you feel?
1072
00:50:51,487 --> 00:50:53,399
Gripped.
1073
00:50:53,503 --> 00:50:54,511
Frozen.
1074
00:50:54,616 --> 00:50:55,833
WYCLIFFE: You couldn't conquer your fear?
1075
00:50:59,481 --> 00:51:01,288
And Gareth?
1076
00:51:01,393 --> 00:51:02,749
[huffs]
1077
00:51:02,853 --> 00:51:06,051
Gareth just swung there on the end of the rope,
1078
00:51:06,155 --> 00:51:08,657
joking about getting to the pub on time.
1079
00:51:08,762 --> 00:51:11,960
[breathes shakily]
1080
00:51:12,063 --> 00:51:13,384
Wanted to be like him?
1081
00:51:16,234 --> 00:51:19,154
People love Gareth.
1082
00:51:19,258 --> 00:51:22,386
He had something you wanted?
1083
00:51:22,491 --> 00:51:25,480
Everything.
1084
00:51:25,584 --> 00:51:28,156
He was so happy.
1085
00:51:28,260 --> 00:51:32,257
He was a happy man.
1086
00:51:32,361 --> 00:51:34,795
You know, I ne--
1087
00:51:34,899 --> 00:51:38,931
I never understood how to be like that.
1088
00:51:39,035 --> 00:51:44,213
Made me so angry-- how could he be so free?
1089
00:51:44,318 --> 00:51:46,577
Suddenly I hated him.
1090
00:51:46,681 --> 00:51:54,188
Like he never bothered about how I felt, how worthless I felt.
1091
00:51:54,294 --> 00:51:57,386
Because he'd never ever felt like that.
1092
00:51:57,491 --> 00:51:58,325
Not once.
1093
00:52:06,319 --> 00:52:08,335
So I picked up the stone and cut the rope.
