who are you

why are you following me

over Billy

you don't recognize me

I guess 30 years in the pen changes a

man

Leo O'Rourke

you betrayed me Billy

and now you're gonna make it right

[Music]

I'll take a beer

my friend here is behind

I'll have a spruce beer thank you it's

Spruce beer

have a good handle the strong stuff

so when did you get out

four days back

um

turn to that for 30 years

Leo

why did you say that I betrayed you so

you thought I was guilty

I was in the bunk house when Ben Hawkins

was killed I was asleep

I woke up to the sound of screaming

I didn't see you in the bunk that's what

I remembered and that's what I said

it's just a street rat from Africa

wasn't it you better depend the murder

on

all right Lego

let's say this is true and you didn't

kill Ben

what do you want from me find he's a

real killer it was 30 years ago

I read your book

it opened up my eyes to what modern

science can do finger marks a a blood

analysis

[Music]

I didn't care much for Ben Hawkins

but I want Justice for the last 30 years

that I've lost

I want my good name back

[Music]

it's a daunting task will you do it

I'm not even convinced that he's

innocent

no

well

if he is innocent there has been a

tragic miscarriage of Justice

and in some way however small

I'm a participant in that

you confirmed his guilt

I didn't confirm his alibi

I couldn't

what exactly happened

it was a logging Camp North of

Gravenhurst

we've been working hard for months

that night there was a party to

celebrate the end of logging season

everyone was drunk I was 18 years old

some women had come up from the city to

the logging camp

none is more beautiful than Marie

legiones

yes

Marie had caught the eye of Ben Hawkins

the logging Camp owner's son

was she courting him

no it turned out Marie only had eyes for

Leo I love triangle yes

the boys fought later in the evening at

the dance it was witnessed by everyone

so when Ben Hawkins was found dead it

was assumed that Leo had killed him now

Leo claimed he was in the bunk house at

the time of the murder

I was also but all I heard was screaming

and shouting and

I ran to the kitchen

Ben had had his throat cut blood spatter

everywhere

Leo was found down by the lake

it was assumed that he was fleeing was

there a trial

Leo pled guilty in order to avoid the

news Well a guilty man would have no

reason to pursue this now

if he believes that modern science could

prove him innocent it could just as

easily confirm his guilt

suppose the crown would still have all

of the case File

I've briefly reviewed the Crown's case

that led to your conviction

it's mostly written statements sworn

affidavits and the bulk of them speak of

your fight with Ben Hawkins earlier in

the evening

he provoked me

no that's not the point

the two of you were in conflict and that

establishes your motive

there's a note here about blood being

found on your boots it's chicken blood

you can tell the difference I read that

in your book

but not 30 years later you can't

the physical evidence no longer exists

the murder weapon was one of your

kitchen knives it's cute in a kitchen

you made two contradictory statements

the first one being

that you told police you couldn't sleep

so you went for a walk

yes it wasn't true

I'd asked a woman meet me at midnight I

didn't want to reveal that for her sake

Marie legionese

she backed me up but it didn't help

they made it out like I had asked her to

laugh at me so that I'd have another one

you were seen running from the kitchen

to the lake by a man who discovered the

body moments later

Stanley Mead he was heading up and I was

heading down but I wasn't running

I was hurrying because I was late I was

coming from the bunk house not the

kitchen

[Music]

both were accessed by the same path as I

recall

so his statement is correct

I suppose

Witnesses claim you were preparing a

boat to flee

I thought that we might have a boat ride

but I wasn't playing Billy I stepped on

you as I climbed out of my

bone remember that

I was drunk

just my bad luck you picked that night

Leo why did you plead guilty if you I

was told I would hang otherwise

I've lived with that choice for all my

best years and I'm not sure how many I

got left

with everybody thinking that I'm a

killer

you believe me don't you Billy

[Music]

please call me William

after all

we are working on a Case together

[Music]

thank you

today I brought you a couple of books

need to do some socks

that's about as much of a birthday as

you're going to get I'm afraid

I don't care about my birthday

you're 21 nothing you know man

I'm happy happier than I felt in a long

time

what's your secret and don't tell me

it's The Company You Keep and it can't

be the food father Crowley has accepted

my petition to become a lay brother oh

well it means they'll be like a priest I

won't be able to perform the sacraments

but

I can assist at Mass a priest I'll have

to take the vows the same as the priests

do which are Chastity poverty and

obedience

chastity

what about when you released

Chastity's fine now but

someday you're going to want to start a

family the church is my family now

don't get me wrong I love you mother and

John with all my heart but

I need more

I need to belong

I'll see you next time sir

Stanley Mead

it's been a long time

you remember Leo Leo O'Rourke

when they let you out a couple days back

are you staying I got a room on to Max

Street they welcome old lagster

what happened to your leg

I got a cotton a log jammer I feel

you're gonna save my life how's that

oh I had to hold him down on the kitchen

table while they amputated the leg

still have nightmares about that you

have nightmares

you don't have your leg cut off

as soon as they keep doing pretty well

for yourself yeah Donald Hawkins been

kind

set me up at that shop

Mary Marie remember her

when did that happen

soon after his brother's death

she knew what she wanted that one

we reviewed your case File Mr O'Rourke

unfortunately no post-mortem was

conducted so we can't use anything from

that surely there must be something in

all the science that you wrote about the

scientific analysis is only useful if

there is evidence to analyze

but there was only your boots and a

knife examining the crime scene is very

much a priority now

but it wasn't then think of Mark

evidence wasn't in use at the time

so are you saying that's it

we're saying exculpatory evidence May no

longer exist

I've been waiting 30 years for justice

now you tell me not to bother

what

your very best

considering what

who I am and where I'm from considering

we don't yet know for certain if you're

innocent

foreign

[Music]

but if he's innocent that's the last

thing he needed

Bill oh Bill are you all right did you

see who it was no

I turned on the lights and then bang the

next thing I know you two are leaning

over me

the shooter must have gone out the back

do you know the other tenants the raw

former lacks this is a halfway house yes

I have no enemies I'm from prison anyway

as far as I know only one person knew

you were released from prison

Leo have you had any visitors since your

release

no

foreign

muscle so you live

but you'll need to have it removed

we need to get you to the hospital

excuse me gentlemen

which one of you is Father Crowley that

would be me ah they told me I'd find you

here thank you Father I didn't realize

priest was the fond of handball ah held

the exercise for the young seminarians

and they're not so young how can I help

you I'm Thomas Brackenridge I believe

you know my son

Robert that's right

can we have a word

of course let's um let's go this way

I saw Bobby yesterday

told me

that he's becoming a

what do you call it

a lay brother yes yes he actually wanted

to take holy orders but his homicide

conviction makes that impossible

I don't think he's in the right frame of

mind to make such an important decision

he's a bit lost

that's why he's seeking a home where

he'll always be welcome

he already has a home with his parents

where was that home when he was sent off

to boarding school

he didn't have much choice

Bobby was starting to get in trouble he

needed to be straightened out and how

did that work out that was then and this

is now and now Robert gets to choose

Bobby wouldn't be doing this if you

weren't getting in his head

do you really think he needs this

must let God decide

how do you propose we'll have ourselves

a game

of handball

I win you leave Bobby alone you win I

back off

sounds like a Faustian bargain sounds to

me like you're worried about losing

all right

you're on

so I shoot the man

and then what run

why did you ask Leo where he was staying

why wouldn't I

oh it's part of my big plan to murder

the man

Leo was released from prison two days

ago

he came to the city rented a room and

then came to see me

you were the only other person who knew

where he was staying well I didn't know

it was a big secret

did you tell anyone

Donald Hawkins

be cold

checks in now and again

I might have mentioned it to him

[Music]

[Music]

yes

can I help you

I'm detective William Murdock

Billy Murdock

my goodness it's been so long

Marie still as lovely as I remember

thank you

but I doubt you've dropped by just to

give me compliments

well you've no doubt heard that Leo

O'Rourke has been released from prison

yes I did hear that

he has asked me to reinvestigate Ben

Hawkins murder and you have agreed to

help him

there is sufficient doubt to Warrant

taking a closer look

and what brings you here

Leo was shot last night at his lodgings

us I live and breathe Billy Murdock our

Butler said that there was a William

Murdock here to see me but I never

dreamed it could really be you Billy you

remember Cyril don't you you worked in

the couch of course Mr Philpot Billy

pleased to make your acquaintance once

again Cyril's a lawyer now smartest of

the lot of us Billy is now detective he

says Leo O'Rourke has been shot

oh

good

I hope wounded he's expected to recover

did you apprehend the shooter not yet

and that is why I'm here

there you are certainly shot

father Crowley called to confirm

arrangements for your handball game

it's just an exercise Margaret you're

playing the priest for what Bobby's soul

if you must know I'm playing for his

life or for any chance it'll have one

when he gets out of jail

I beg your pardon Mrs Brackley but I've

been watching him he's quite good

compared to what some of the lads I play

against you play handball picked it up

in prison huh well hope for your sake

Thomas you play an old Podge who weighs

15 Stone

I'm not 15 Stone we're like 16.

I'm not comfy sir I think your chances

more than your wife does but I don't

think you can do it alone what do you

mean I think you need a coach and you

think that should be you I should think

there's no one better fair enough right

then if you're gonna win your son's soul

back you're gonna have to face up to

some harsh fruits go on you're out of

shape your last handball game was 30

years ago when you were playing against

the wiener stronger opponent who not to

mention has God on the side just because

he's a bloody priest look if you want

your son back you're gonna have to fight

for it you're gonna have to fight like

you've never fought for anything in your

life are you ready for that yes yes what

I'm gonna fight say it like you mean it

I'm gonna fight right then 15 press-ups

right now you can't just tell me what to

do well yes okay that's your coach

that's the hope that's what we've just

been through

thank you

15 press-ups sir please

you had a conversation with Stanley Mead

yesterday at about 5 p.m that's right

we're friends and I tried to look out

for the man hmm no thank you

he said he told you where Leo had been

staying

did he

we spoke of Leo of course

travesty that he would release

obviously I wasn't pleased to hear it

Leo was shot at 7 45. where were you at

that time last night I was in a meeting

with the company directors

is that usual a business meeting on a

Saturday evening we're in the midst of

an acquisition

when was this meeting called

why would that matter was it scheduled

in advance or made in haste I suppose

you could say in haste we received a

reply to our offer and then the meeting

was called forth with

what time about

5 30.

so the meeting was scheduled after your

conversation with Stanley Mead

are you suggesting that I sent someone

to Kill Leo and then called a meeting

specifically so that I would have an

alibi

talk to the board members it's not some

kind of charade

hmm oh you off my dear yes I wanted to

say good night I'm having dinner with

some friends I'm afraid you are going to

need to

cancel that engagement

[Music]

I did go to Leo's lodging house last

night but I didn't shoot him

how did you know where he was staying I

heard my husband discussing it on the

phone

what time was this

six o'clock or thereabouts curious

do you know who he was speaking with no

he hung up as I entered

and is that when you decided to pay Mr

O'Rourke a visit no

I didn't think it through I just started

walking

all right what time did you arrive at

Leo's room

about 7 30.

the door was unlocked so I went in

once inside I suddenly felt very foolish

so why did you go

I wanted to see him

you don't believe he killed Ben Hawkins

I'm the man I knew

wasn't capable of such a thing

what do you remember from that night

Leo asked me to dance

we'd been exchanging glances all night

[Music]

I knew Ben had intentions but he'd never

declared himself so I was a free woman

[Music]

Ben had other ideas

Ben started the fight between them of

course

when Leo fought him I was

a little bit thrilled by it

but then Ben was dead

and I felt such shame

what happened after the fight

the rest of the night crawled by

all I could think of was meeting Leo

but just before the Clock Struck

midnight Donald pulled me onto the dance

that's when I heard the shouting

[Music]

I ran into the kitchen and

Ben was dead

Leo was found Down By The Wharf

I didn't want to believe it

but if it wasn't Leo who did it

small caliber 22 by the looks of it

Marie Legends has stated that she was

here in your lodgings last night

did you know about that no did she say

why she came

I assume it's because she believes

you're innocent

you told her I didn't do it right

I thought it might be best if you did

that yourself

[Music]

oh

that's enough Crabtree my arms are shot

they're like blocks of wood make no

wonders heard your blood conditioning

fall to an abysmal level in any case

we'll move on to legs we'll warm up with

squats so hands out front weight in your

heels down and then back up really

oh

all the way all the way down oh my back

oh

oh my dog are you working on a Case do

you need a hand no what's all this no

sir the inspector is in training for a

fight for Bobby's very soul

all right

squats hands out front weight in your

heels and all the way down

detective Mr hawkins's Alibis confirmed

by the board members

no suspected as much

what about Stanley Mead he claimed he

was home all night but no one could

corroborate

is that so

perhaps Mr Mead is a little more mobile

than he lets on

come with me Constable sir

did you see that it's a Kill Shot

impossible to return we as good I

suppose so but his left side is weaker

than his right you'll want to play to

his left as much as you can

got you but also you have to play smart

look

this is the wall he's here you're here

I'm the ex well think of it as the

English cross he's the Halo oh fairness

now if the referee is standing here and

you move here you'll obstruct his view

it can look like the priest is

obstructing your shot it's called an

avoidable hindrome

you want me to force a hinder

make it look like he got in her way

do when you play prison rules or if you

want to win you'll use them not for me

Crabtree I have to play this straight

this game is going to be played under

the watchful eyes of God

excuse me gentlemen

sir

I followed the path all the way down to

the alley find anything

or plenty of shoe Prints but nothing

made by a Peg and checked around the

side side and back

all right Constable let's call it a

night

oh wait

foreign

[Music]

I want you to bring in Cyril fill pot

and while I'm questioning him search his

home and office yes sir what am I

searching for a 22 caliber pistol if you

find one I need you to fire around into

a barrel full of water and then retrieve

that bullet then bring it to me along

with the revolver

why

stick with me Evans and we might just

catch ourselves a killer

[Music]

really Billy it's detective Murdoch

there must be literally dozens of men in

the city who smoke Union Sports cigars

we've spoken with the tobacconists

directly and aside from you there are

only six other men in the city who

purchase these cigars none of them have

any connection to Leo O'Rourke

and that does

you found it in his room I presume

all covered in blood with with my finger

marks

it you did find it in his room

outside the building oh

where were you at 7 45 on the night

before last

from Seven until 8 20 I was engaged in

an acquisition

with Hawkins Lumber

this can be attested to by Dirk wesler

from d w lumber supplies and Donald

Hawkins you weren't included on the list

of attendees that was provided to us by

Donald Hawkins

were you with Mr wessler I I joined by

telephone for a meeting

one that lasted over an hour

technology is a marvelous thing

Detective

and I assume all of the board members

will attest that you were active and

engaged in the meeting

Donald can oh I I assume that he can

that was the plan

are you suggesting that I shot Leo

O'Rourke while I was on the phone no I'm

suggesting you stepped away from the

phone shot Leo O'Rourke then returned

and rejoined the meeting

this is absurd and why would I shoot a

man I barely know you might

if you knew that he and I had reopened

the Hawkins murder case

is about Ben I don't believe Leo killed

Ben Hawkins oh

so not only am I being accused of

shooting Leo I'm being accused of

killing Ben

based on what what a cigar

remember

an important factor in determining guilt

is motive

Leo O'Rourke had one I didn't

another factor is Alibi he didn't have

one I did yes and remind me what that

was again

we were dancing when Ben was killed

we Donald tonight

Marie was there she can attest to it she

would be in the statements

uh yes we found this Mr philpot's desk

drawer

excellent or Constable it's a pistol

what of it it's your pistol Mr Philpott

and it has just fired this bullet

foreign

[Music]

for the bullet that wounded Leo O'Rourke

I have nothing more to say this time

but Marie recalls dancing with Donald at

the time that the shouting began she

also recalls Cyril being there but not

dancing with him specifically

are you suggesting that Cyril Philpot

slipped out when no one was noticing and

killed Ben that would only take a moment

to stab a man

yes but how would he know he would be

conveniently placed so that he could

kill him so quickly perhaps he was

already dead

the timeline was established by Stanley

he stated that there was no body in the

kitchen at the time that he left shortly

before midnight but then was there when

he returned shortly after where would

they have hidden the body

in the coal room it was right beside the

kitchen it was kept locked it would only

have taken a moment for Cyril to drag

the body out into the kitchen and to

cut his neck Donald Hawkins was dancing

with Marie meaning she couldn't meet up

with Leo and provide him with an alibi

A Perfect Crime

only that's not how it happened William

you said yourself there was blood

spatter everywhere

if he was already dead there would be

none his heart would have already

stopped pumping

of course you're right

unless you're wrong about the spatter

think back William is that what you saw

well yes of course that there was blood

on the walls on the table my hands your

hands

yes

did you touch the body

no

[Music]

I had blood on my hands when Stanley

lost his leg

not the night of the murder

my God

if I conflated two memories

well

good luck

I hate to give you credit crunchy

but I do actually feel stronger hold

yourself

he's younger and fitter

do you really think I can win your son's

future is at today if you might call him

father but you're the only real father

in this now

you're gonna win this because you have

to

come closer gentlemen

please choose a number one or two father

one

it is your service

zero sir serving zero

oh

foreign

has there been some development in the

case

possibly Marie could you please describe

once again for us exactly what you saw

that night

it was horrifying

I remember

the blood

the knife

what I remember most is his eyes

what about his eyes they were wide open

he looked sort of surprised

maybe he'd seen the face of God

I tried to close them out of respect but

they wouldn't close

it's the strangest thing

you tried to close them

yes was that wrong

there's only one reason why one wouldn't

be able to close a dead man's eyes

rigor mortis had already set in that

means he must have died at least two

hours earlier

was that possible

We Believe Ben died hours earlier

and his body was placed inside the

locked coal room beside the kitchen it

was then moved into the kitchen only

moments before being discovered by Cyril

Philpott my God

two hours earlier we put the time of

death at 10 o'clock

immediately after the fight with Leo

we know exactly who he was with because

of witness statements

he wasn't with Cyril

he was with Donald

no

are you saying my husband killed Ben

Marie

[Music]

God's name are you people doing here

I can read 18 serving 18.

I work George do you can actually win oh

who knows I'm surprised he's doing as

well myself

[Applause]

you and Cyril Philpot took Ben outside

after the fight to calm him down we know

this because of witness statements

whatever

we also know that Cyril was seen

elsewhere moments later

but not you

you were still with Ben at 10 pm yes it

was the last time I saw him it was the

last time you saw Ben

because he died at 10 pm

that's absurd Rigamortis had already set

in when the body was found at midnight

so he had to be dead shortly after 10

p.m Cyril was the one with the cool head

he was the one who moved the body out of

the coal room and into the kitchen

he convinced you to cover it up didn't

he Donald

is this true but you didn't stab your

brother did you

it was an argument a fight he was drunk

obstreperous

or perhaps it was an accident

the knife was just to frame Leo after

the fact

what really happened Donald

he hit his head

was over 30 years ago

you can't prove a thing

now get out of my house

but it's true isn't it all right don't

listen to a word these people are saying

I wanted to force

[Music]

oh

wow

a hinder

bullets you have plenty of room to make

the shot I was obstructed on purpose it

only looks that way because of where

he's sitting my car stands an avoidable

hinder avoidable Hill Church no serve

goes to Father Crowley 20 serving 20.

you did that on purpose

I can't even watch it's too tense oh

there George is just handball

oh

I can read serms next Point decides the

victor

I feel

job

[Music]

well done sir great shot I knew you had

it in you Thomas I have to give you

credit I didn't believe in you but you

did it anyway

well inspector

you won fair and square

it's more than I can say for you

you forced that hinder I know you did

you should be ashamed of yourself you're

a bloody priest I apologize for that

I'd underestimated you

I just couldn't bear the thought letting

Robert down

I should never have made the wager

I will nevertheless

baked good on it

well played

so

are you going to tell Bobby

the church is my family now

I need more

I need to belong

Margaret I need to be a proper father

Crowley

do you have a moment

I want you to keep seeing Bobby

if that's what he wants

you were right

we had no business making that way

easier

this is life not mine

and as it is with all of us

he will do what the Lord directs

[Music]

Jill shot well done we should go to the

ferret and celebrate yeah are you buying

Crabtree yes sir come on in well

happen now

Cyril Philpot will be charged with your

attempted murder

but as long as he remains silent there

is no physical evidence to prove that he

set you up for Ben's murder what about

Donald

the case can't be built

what about clearing my good name you can

petition for a pardon

but I doubt that the conviction will be

overturned now that you've been released

so after all of this

Leo

I'm terribly sorry about all of this

but it doesn't seem we'll be able to

prove your husband did anything

you provided all the proof I needed he

won't be my husband much longer

you once suggested we meet for a

midnight stroll

is that offer still good

so that was the infamous Marine

missionaries

I'd hardly describe her as Infamous

famous Maybe

so how did it feel seeing a former crash

after all those years odd

I know it may sound strange but I still

see her as the age she was back then

also actually so was the old flame

reignited

in a sense

seeing her again

reminded me of just how lucky I am

that I waited until I met the woman

I was meant to be with
