00:00:06,193 --> 00:00:08,112
[sheep bleating]

2
00:00:13,617 --> 00:00:16,245
[Bertrand in French]
Sophie is at the centre of this story.

3
00:00:16,328 --> 00:00:17,913
[sentimental music plays]

4
00:00:22,001 --> 00:00:23,919
But it's true that for 23 years,

5
00:00:24,003 --> 00:00:27,757
it's often forgotten,
uh, who my sister was.

6
00:00:31,844 --> 00:00:35,306
[Wassell] So much crime fiction involves
the violent murder of women.

7
00:00:36,348 --> 00:00:39,226
Those lurid covers
of old-fashioned detective stories.

8
00:00:42,104 --> 00:00:45,149
Sophie du Plantier
really was very beautiful.

9
00:00:48,235 --> 00:00:50,362
But there was so much more to her.

10
00:00:53,032 --> 00:00:54,700
She was solitary,

11
00:00:54,784 --> 00:00:55,701
thoughtful,

12
00:00:56,410 --> 00:00:57,995
a romantic poet.

13
00:00:59,830 --> 00:01:03,167
I think, for her,
West Cork was a place to reflect,

14
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:05,086
to write, to read.

15
00:01:05,169 --> 00:01:07,004
She loved Irish poetry.

16
00:01:07,088 --> 00:01:11,592
I could just picture her in her woollies,
drinking tea with honey and reading.

17
00:01:13,302 --> 00:01:16,222
The glow
of the Fastnet lighthouse outside.

18
00:01:18,516 --> 00:01:21,894
There's a human desire
to understand the mystery

19
00:01:21,977 --> 00:01:24,230
that lies behind this terrible story.

20
00:01:24,313 --> 00:01:27,108
[tense music plays]

21
00:01:33,864 --> 00:01:36,242
[Ian] Here's a line
from one of my own poems.

22
00:01:36,325 --> 00:01:40,037
"That many other chapters are yet untold
before the story ends."

23
00:01:40,746 --> 00:01:42,414
[sighs]

24
00:01:42,498 --> 00:01:43,999
[tense music plays]

25
00:01:49,296 --> 00:01:52,508
[reporter 1] Ian Bailey, who'd been
reporting the story for local newspapers,

26
00:01:52,591 --> 00:01:55,427
has been questioned
about her murder and released.

27
00:01:55,511 --> 00:01:58,889
What happens now is
up to the director of public prosecutions.

28
00:01:58,973 --> 00:02:01,851
We would have to await a decision
from the director.

29
00:02:01,934 --> 00:02:04,895
[reporter 2] You're saying to me
that you didn't kill Sophie du Plantier,

30
00:02:04,979 --> 00:02:06,522
nor did you have any part in that?

31
00:02:06,605 --> 00:02:08,107
I am saying to you I didn't kill her.

32
00:02:08,190 --> 00:02:10,651
I had no knowledge of the killing.
I'm an innocent man.

33
00:02:10,734 --> 00:02:14,321
I was in a state of shock,
and Jules was in a state of shock.

34
00:02:14,405 --> 00:02:17,491
Looking back, actually,
I guess we had post-traumatic stress.

35
00:02:18,617 --> 00:02:21,620
That week immediately after
and the week after that,

36
00:02:21,704 --> 00:02:25,040
there were more media coming in.
All sorts of stories were bandied around.

37
00:02:25,124 --> 00:02:29,086
Everybody around here would know
all these little stories and events,

38
00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:31,964
and everybody would be
discussing them. Everybody.

39
00:02:32,047 --> 00:02:34,925
Look, it just got stranger and stranger.

40
00:02:35,676 --> 00:02:38,095
[reporter 3] He had learned
that Ian Bailey's hobby

41
00:02:38,179 --> 00:02:39,805
was destroying religious artefacts.

42
00:02:39,889 --> 00:02:43,559
[reporter 4] Gardaí asked, was it true
he'd been seen out one night in the rain

43
00:02:43,642 --> 00:02:45,352
wearing only his jocks and a hat.

44
00:02:45,436 --> 00:02:48,522
[reporter 3] She'd heard rumours of him
howling at the moon at night

45
00:02:48,606 --> 00:02:51,609
with what he described as
"Mr. Bailey's thinking stick."

46
00:02:51,692 --> 00:02:53,777
People'd seen him, just pants on
running down the road.

47
00:02:53,861 --> 00:02:57,072
Bailey'd been outside the house
roaring and wailing.

48
00:02:57,156 --> 00:02:59,909
This is a month after the murder
this has happened,

49
00:02:59,992 --> 00:03:01,285
but it's a full moon.

50
00:03:01,368 --> 00:03:04,580
I think he told us
that he did commune with the moon.

51
00:03:04,663 --> 00:03:06,957
That's where the word "lunacy" comes from.

52
00:03:07,041 --> 00:03:08,292
He'd be howling at the moon

53
00:03:08,375 --> 00:03:11,545
with his stick in the middle of the road…
All this happened.

54
00:03:11,629 --> 00:03:14,006
This was a story told to me.
I presume it's true.

55
00:03:14,089 --> 00:03:19,136
I mean, I know people that, they…
they swear blind that this happened.

56
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:23,599
There were a whole lot of, uh,
ridiculous allegations and suggestions.

57
00:03:23,682 --> 00:03:26,393
There was one
that I would howl at the moon.

58
00:03:26,477 --> 00:03:30,814
That at the time of the full moon,
they said, "Oh, Bailey, he goes crazy."

59
00:03:31,398 --> 00:03:33,734
"He's got this stick as well.
A magic stick."

60
00:03:33,817 --> 00:03:37,655
I don't know, that I had this magic stick
that was imbued with magic properties.

61
00:03:37,738 --> 00:03:39,907
I used it to make spells
and things like that.

62
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:41,158
[chuckles]

63
00:03:41,242 --> 00:03:45,454
There are all sorts of rumours
and… and misinformation being…

64
00:03:45,537 --> 00:03:46,664
And who's behind it all?

65
00:03:46,747 --> 00:03:50,125
I went to him as a friend to tell him
what people were saying about him.

66
00:03:51,126 --> 00:03:52,086
[bird chittering]

67
00:03:52,836 --> 00:03:56,590
[Billy] I went round his house innocently,
knocked on the door. He let me in.

68
00:03:57,091 --> 00:04:00,678
He was sat down. He had drink everywhere
and, like, rich food and all this stuff.

69
00:04:00,761 --> 00:04:04,807
He said, "Want a glass of cider?" I said,
"I'm working. I popped in to see you."

70
00:04:05,307 --> 00:04:07,810
He was relaxed until I came out with
what people were saying,

71
00:04:07,893 --> 00:04:09,812
that he'd be
howling at the moon and stuff.

72
00:04:09,895 --> 00:04:13,440
Straight away, bang,
he just went into a complete meltdown,

73
00:04:13,524 --> 00:04:15,150
and he moved from where he was,

74
00:04:15,234 --> 00:04:17,611
and he went white-knuckled,
and his face changed.

75
00:04:17,695 --> 00:04:20,531
He grabbed hold of the thing
behind him, and he was astonished.

76
00:04:20,614 --> 00:04:24,201
And he was like, "You fucker,"
like this to me. And I was like, "What?"

77
00:04:25,202 --> 00:04:27,663
He said, "You saw her in Spar
the day before she was killed

78
00:04:27,746 --> 00:04:30,040
and you saw her tight arse
and wanted to give her one."

79
00:04:30,124 --> 00:04:32,751
He said, "When you went to her house
at two in the morning,

80
00:04:32,835 --> 00:04:34,920
she ran away screaming
'cause you scared her."

81
00:04:35,004 --> 00:04:37,089
"You chased her,
threw something at her head,

82
00:04:37,172 --> 00:04:39,717
and realised you went too far."
And I went… [gasps]

83
00:04:42,511 --> 00:04:44,013
"Where did that even come from?"

84
00:04:44,513 --> 00:04:47,349
It felt like he was saying what he did,
but through me, you know?

85
00:04:48,309 --> 00:04:50,060
I was scared when I left his house.

86
00:04:50,644 --> 00:04:53,522
I'd just been sat with someone
really fucking dangerous,

87
00:04:53,605 --> 00:04:54,648
and I felt scared.

88
00:04:56,358 --> 00:05:00,863
[producer] When he was telling you this,
did it feel like some form of confession?

89
00:05:00,946 --> 00:05:02,031
Oh, definitely, yeah.

90
00:05:02,114 --> 00:05:06,910
Definitely, I'd say, by the way he did it
to all the other people he'd confessed to.

91
00:05:09,371 --> 00:05:10,372
[Wassell] We learned later

92
00:05:10,456 --> 00:05:11,874
that he confessed, uh,

93
00:05:12,666 --> 00:05:14,752
to a number of people in the community.

94
00:05:17,087 --> 00:05:20,841
[Michael] One particular night,
New Year's Eve, to be specific,

95
00:05:20,924 --> 00:05:23,010
a local couple, Richie and Rosie Shelley,

96
00:05:23,093 --> 00:05:25,596
were having drinks
in a local pub in Schull

97
00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:30,100
and got into conversation
with Ian Bailey and Jules Thomas.

98
00:05:30,934 --> 00:05:33,270
[Barry] They invited them back
late on New Year's Eve.

99
00:05:33,354 --> 00:05:36,023
Ian started talking about the murder,

100
00:05:36,106 --> 00:05:38,984
and he became quite emotional
and, uh, started crying.

101
00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:42,029
And it was that sort of
early morning thing after drinking

102
00:05:42,112 --> 00:05:43,238
when he'd get strange.

103
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,035
[Michael] He started crying
and hugging Richie Shelley

104
00:05:48,118 --> 00:05:50,412
and saying, "I did it. I did it."

105
00:05:50,496 --> 00:05:51,789
"I went too far."

106
00:05:51,872 --> 00:05:53,874
They ran screaming from the house.

107
00:05:55,167 --> 00:05:56,210
They ran away.

108
00:06:02,132 --> 00:06:04,051
Any other psychic will tell you

109
00:06:04,134 --> 00:06:07,971
that when you're compelled
to say something, then you say it.

110
00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:11,767
There was a German friend who had a party.

111
00:06:12,267 --> 00:06:15,312
Ian was at the party,
as were many other people.

112
00:06:16,772 --> 00:06:20,818
It was just one of them little moments
where we just happened to be together.

113
00:06:20,901 --> 00:06:24,029
In my world,
there's no such thing as coincidences.

114
00:06:24,113 --> 00:06:26,490
You know, these things are put in place.

115
00:06:27,157 --> 00:06:29,243
I said to him, "You murdered that woman."

116
00:06:30,828 --> 00:06:32,704
She wanted to confront him with that.

117
00:06:34,123 --> 00:06:36,041
And he looked me straight in the eye,

118
00:06:36,125 --> 00:06:39,670
and he said he didn't mean
for everyone to get involved.

119
00:06:40,421 --> 00:06:41,630
That's what he said.

120
00:06:41,713 --> 00:06:42,923
[animal screeching]

121
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,718
I knew Jules before I knew Ian.

122
00:06:47,719 --> 00:06:49,221
She was my neighbour.

123
00:06:49,304 --> 00:06:51,223
She had three daughters,

124
00:06:51,306 --> 00:06:52,724
and then Ian turned up

125
00:06:52,808 --> 00:06:54,643
a few years later.

126
00:06:56,687 --> 00:06:59,231
In that community,
you're used to giving people lifts

127
00:06:59,314 --> 00:07:00,899
'cause there's no public transport.

128
00:07:00,983 --> 00:07:04,111
So if the girls needed
a spin up from Lowertown,

129
00:07:04,194 --> 00:07:06,989
I'd often drive them
all the way to their place,

130
00:07:07,072 --> 00:07:10,492
or if they were picking up the girls,
they'd drop Malachi off,

131
00:07:11,535 --> 00:07:12,911
my eldest son.

132
00:07:12,995 --> 00:07:15,330
Malachi was only 14 at the time.

133
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:19,042
He'd been
at a friend's place after school,

134
00:07:19,126 --> 00:07:22,129
and he saw Ian outside of the Courtyard,

135
00:07:22,212 --> 00:07:24,423
and he gave him a spin home.

136
00:07:26,091 --> 00:07:29,261
Ian seemed to be quite stressed,

137
00:07:30,304 --> 00:07:32,264
and I think he'd been drinking.

138
00:07:34,391 --> 00:07:37,728
Being polite,
Malachi asked him how his work was going.

139
00:07:38,812 --> 00:07:40,522
That's when he turned round and said,

140
00:07:40,606 --> 00:07:43,775
"I went up there
and bashed her brains in with a rock."

141
00:07:47,613 --> 00:07:49,364
He just came out with this.

142
00:07:49,448 --> 00:07:50,449
There was silence,

143
00:07:50,532 --> 00:07:54,453
and I think Malachi just wanted
to get home as quickly as possible.

144
00:07:58,332 --> 00:08:00,209
He didn't say anything much that evening.

145
00:08:00,292 --> 00:08:02,211
He didn't want to get himself into trouble

146
00:08:02,294 --> 00:08:05,047
because he'd got a lift
off somebody that'd been drinking.

147
00:08:05,756 --> 00:08:09,384
But the following day,
he explained what had happened.

148
00:08:09,468 --> 00:08:10,802
I then said,

149
00:08:10,886 --> 00:08:14,765
"This is too big for… for me or you
to make a decision about this."

150
00:08:14,848 --> 00:08:16,642
We then made statements.

151
00:08:18,268 --> 00:08:20,479
Gardaí would say
that was a critical development

152
00:08:20,562 --> 00:08:22,689
in the investigation
from their point of view.

153
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,192
[Irune] Like the rest of the community,

154
00:08:25,275 --> 00:08:29,571
we didn't know all the evidence that
the Garda investigation had at the time.

155
00:08:29,655 --> 00:08:33,325
I only knew
what was happening within my own family.

156
00:08:35,202 --> 00:08:36,620
[Eugene] You have to understand,

157
00:08:36,703 --> 00:08:39,289
that part of the country
and most parts of Ireland,

158
00:08:39,373 --> 00:08:41,041
people didn't talk.

159
00:08:41,124 --> 00:08:43,502
Literally, you didn't say anything.

160
00:08:44,086 --> 00:08:45,587
You might know something,

161
00:08:45,671 --> 00:08:48,173
but you kept it to yourself.
It's none of your business.

162
00:08:49,299 --> 00:08:52,177
Evidence came through in small bits

163
00:08:52,261 --> 00:08:56,682
from locals brave enough to say it
to local guards or something like that.

164
00:08:58,392 --> 00:09:01,436
[Irune] Malachi was very confused,
frightened.

165
00:09:02,646 --> 00:09:05,107
That stayed with him for many, many years.

166
00:09:05,899 --> 00:09:07,776
I mean,
I don't know if other people do this,

167
00:09:07,859 --> 00:09:10,988
but, I mean, I do use sarcasm,
and I do use irony on occasions,

168
00:09:11,071 --> 00:09:12,281
and it was so ridiculous.

169
00:09:12,364 --> 00:09:13,991
He called it "black humour."

170
00:09:14,074 --> 00:09:17,411
Well, the population of Ireland
at the time was about five million,

171
00:09:17,869 --> 00:09:19,371
and amazingly, out of the five million,

172
00:09:19,454 --> 00:09:22,457
there was only one fella
talked about killing her.

173
00:09:22,958 --> 00:09:24,960
How do you explain,

174
00:09:25,502 --> 00:09:30,132
when a person is crying
and hugging this person

175
00:09:30,215 --> 00:09:33,468
and… and admitting to a murder,
that it's black humour?

176
00:09:35,887 --> 00:09:39,891
Not one of the people
that he made those admissions to

177
00:09:39,975 --> 00:09:42,311
interpreted it in that fashion.

178
00:09:48,275 --> 00:09:49,776
[waves crashing]

179
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:52,070
[reporter in French]
9 a.m. in early winter.

180
00:09:52,154 --> 00:09:55,032
It is still dark
on the Mizen Head peninsula.

181
00:09:55,115 --> 00:09:56,825
[sombre music plays]

182
00:09:59,036 --> 00:10:02,414
Georges and Marguerite Bouniol,
Sophie Toscan du Plantier's parents,

183
00:10:02,497 --> 00:10:06,209
wanted to share a service
with locals from this corner of Ireland

184
00:10:06,293 --> 00:10:07,502
which she loved so much.

185
00:10:07,586 --> 00:10:09,087
[camera shutters clicking]

186
00:10:09,713 --> 00:10:11,715
A light has been on
for a few days in this house

187
00:10:11,798 --> 00:10:13,634
which is completely isolated.

188
00:10:13,717 --> 00:10:16,136
There are flowers on the spot
where exactly one year ago today,

189
00:10:16,219 --> 00:10:19,097
the body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier
was discovered.

190
00:10:26,104 --> 00:10:30,025
[Pierre-Louis] I was immediately
very protected after my mother died.

191
00:10:31,234 --> 00:10:35,364
I didn't meet the police, French or Irish.

192
00:10:35,906 --> 00:10:37,574
I didn't meet the journalists.

193
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,620
I was… very far from all that.

194
00:10:44,289 --> 00:10:45,832
I was a little boy, uh…

195
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:48,293
simply a victim.

196
00:10:51,922 --> 00:10:54,257
For days,

197
00:10:54,341 --> 00:10:56,218
then weeks, months,

198
00:10:56,301 --> 00:10:59,179
the police told the family

199
00:10:59,262 --> 00:11:01,431
that the end was very close.

200
00:11:01,515 --> 00:11:03,517
It was really round the corner.

201
00:11:08,438 --> 00:11:12,025
[Jean-Pierre] The Garda never stopped
adding things to the case file.

202
00:11:12,109 --> 00:11:14,486
But we didn't know much about all that.

203
00:11:16,613 --> 00:11:19,074
We were still
all in a very emotional state.

204
00:11:19,574 --> 00:11:23,203
[in English] I think that justice
will be done once, we think, all of us,

205
00:11:23,286 --> 00:11:27,124
but sometimes,
we are, uh, a little bit despaired.

206
00:11:29,209 --> 00:11:30,961
[Jean-Pierre in French]
Then in early January,

207
00:11:31,044 --> 00:11:34,506
once again the Garda told the family

208
00:11:34,589 --> 00:11:37,259
that it was going to be resolved soon.

209
00:11:37,342 --> 00:11:38,510
[radio static crackles]

210
00:11:39,136 --> 00:11:41,138
[news intro music plays]

211
00:11:42,681 --> 00:11:45,350
[reporter in English] Afternoon.
The headlines this Tuesday lunchtime.

212
00:11:45,434 --> 00:11:47,018
A man's been arrested in West Cork

213
00:11:47,102 --> 00:11:50,605
by Gardaí investigating the murder
of the Frenchwoman Sophie du Plantier.

214
00:11:50,689 --> 00:11:51,690
[indistinct chatter]

215
00:11:51,773 --> 00:11:55,152
A year after the first arrest,
I was subjected to a second arrest.

216
00:11:55,235 --> 00:11:56,987
[suspenseful music plays]

217
00:11:59,406 --> 00:12:01,533
[Peter] He stood up
and told enough people he'd done it.

218
00:12:02,701 --> 00:12:04,661
So don't be surprised if you get arrested.

219
00:12:04,745 --> 00:12:06,913
[Ian] They said,
"We're special detectives."

220
00:12:06,997 --> 00:12:10,625
"We're members of the
National Criminal Investigation Bureau,"

221
00:12:10,709 --> 00:12:14,337
and they were sort of supposed to be
the elite Garda detective branch.

222
00:12:14,421 --> 00:12:17,340
-[woman] Con, what's the story?
-I don't know. I wish I did.

223
00:12:17,841 --> 00:12:21,094
[Paul] Under Irish law,
you've got two periods of detention,

224
00:12:21,178 --> 00:12:22,846
both 12 hours each.

225
00:12:24,139 --> 00:12:28,935
The Gardaí don't get a third opportunity
to interview a suspect.

226
00:12:31,271 --> 00:12:33,106
[reporter 6] The director
of public prosecutions

227
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:34,733
is still examining a file on the murder.

228
00:12:34,816 --> 00:12:35,859
[phone rings]

229
00:12:35,942 --> 00:12:40,363
[Barry] The DPP is a law officer here
who assesses Garda investigations

230
00:12:40,447 --> 00:12:41,782
and decides whether or not

231
00:12:41,865 --> 00:12:45,368
the Gardaí have managed to produce
enough evidence to warrant a charge.

232
00:12:45,452 --> 00:12:48,747
[reporter 6] He's being held under
Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act

233
00:12:48,830 --> 00:12:50,749
and can be held for up to 12 hours.

234
00:12:54,377 --> 00:12:57,672
[Daniel in French] I spoke to Jules
when I arrived in the morning.

235
00:12:58,757 --> 00:13:01,343
I went to her house, to their house,

236
00:13:01,885 --> 00:13:03,637
because we were friends.

237
00:13:05,013 --> 00:13:06,348
And I asked her,

238
00:13:06,431 --> 00:13:08,391
"Do you think

239
00:13:09,351 --> 00:13:11,394
Ian could be guilty?"

240
00:13:14,022 --> 00:13:15,565
She said, "I don't know."

241
00:13:17,818 --> 00:13:20,028
[tense music plays]

242
00:13:20,111 --> 00:13:22,322
[reporter 7 in English]
Gardaí are still questioning a man

243
00:13:22,405 --> 00:13:25,826
in connection with the murder
of Frenchwoman Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

244
00:13:28,203 --> 00:13:29,788
[Ian] There were two Garda in particular,

245
00:13:29,871 --> 00:13:32,666
and I can remember
they said, "We'll have a break now."

246
00:13:32,749 --> 00:13:34,751
I said to them,
"No, no, I don't want a break."

247
00:13:35,335 --> 00:13:37,921
"Um… Listen, we need a break from you."

248
00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:45,679
[Barry] I suspect they were
looking for a confession from Ian Bailey.

249
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:49,975
[in French] Someone called me saying,

250
00:13:50,058 --> 00:13:53,812
"Tonight, Marie-Madeleine,
I'll have good news for you."

251
00:13:54,938 --> 00:13:57,357
And then that night,
there was no good news.

252
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,733
The DPP had said no.

253
00:14:06,366 --> 00:14:08,910
[in English] Again,
he was released without charge.

254
00:14:08,994 --> 00:14:10,620
Because they didn't get a confession

255
00:14:10,704 --> 00:14:13,999
and the evidence they did have
was still circumstantial.

256
00:14:15,542 --> 00:14:18,211
[Bertrand in French]
We were all dumbfounded.

257
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:21,381
Uh, It was very difficult for my parents.

258
00:14:21,464 --> 00:14:23,091
[indistinct conversation]

259
00:14:24,342 --> 00:14:27,679
[Jean-Pierre] In Ireland,
the family of the victim doesn't exist.

260
00:14:28,388 --> 00:14:30,557
The Garda leads their inquiry

261
00:14:31,641 --> 00:14:35,103
and subsequently gives the case…

262
00:14:35,186 --> 00:14:36,146
[cameras clicking]

263
00:14:36,229 --> 00:14:39,399
…to the director of public prosecution,
the DPP.

264
00:14:40,567 --> 00:14:42,360
[in English]
Nothing more is going to happen,

265
00:14:42,444 --> 00:14:45,697
so we'd ask you
to disperse quietly and quickly.

266
00:14:46,239 --> 00:14:47,157
Is that all right?

267
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,201
[Jean-Pierre in French] What does he do?
He reads through the dossier,

268
00:14:50,285 --> 00:14:53,622
and it's him that decides
whether to prosecute or not to prosecute.

269
00:14:53,705 --> 00:14:55,749
If there is not enough proof,

270
00:14:55,832 --> 00:14:57,542
not enough evidence,

271
00:14:58,501 --> 00:15:00,670
um, then he will not prosecute.

272
00:15:01,796 --> 00:15:04,966
[Marie-Madeleine]
If you'll forgive me for saying, I think,

273
00:15:05,050 --> 00:15:05,967
at times,

274
00:15:06,051 --> 00:15:09,262
that Bailey had Ireland by the balls.

275
00:15:10,805 --> 00:15:12,098
[seagulls calling]

276
00:15:16,603 --> 00:15:20,857
[reporter 8 in English] After his arrest,
Ian Bailey entertained the media

277
00:15:21,650 --> 00:15:24,361
to the extent
of inviting them into his home.

278
00:15:24,945 --> 00:15:27,572
[reporter in French] With his partner,
he answered our questions

279
00:15:27,656 --> 00:15:29,157
and protested his innocence.

280
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,119
[Florence in English] He was engaged
with the press, is what I would say.

281
00:15:33,203 --> 00:15:35,914
He was very visibly engaged with them
at that time.

282
00:15:35,997 --> 00:15:37,207
We're not sure exactly…

283
00:15:37,290 --> 00:15:40,752
[French voiceover] We're not sure who
is benefitting from these lies about us.

284
00:15:40,835 --> 00:15:44,673
But what I know is that the police have
tried to pass me off as the murderer,

285
00:15:44,756 --> 00:15:46,383
as well as my partner, Jules.

286
00:15:46,883 --> 00:15:48,760
We really have nothing to do with it.

287
00:15:49,761 --> 00:15:53,431
[in English] You see, that's the weakness
in his personality, really.

288
00:15:54,349 --> 00:15:56,768
He seeks that attention.

289
00:16:00,230 --> 00:16:02,399
[Barry] The murder happened
in December '96.

290
00:16:03,942 --> 00:16:06,027
We had the arrests in '97, '98.

291
00:16:07,153 --> 00:16:10,490
Things had quietened down.
Obviously, the investigation was ongoing.

292
00:16:12,075 --> 00:16:15,704
It appeared to the outside world
that nothing happened for several years.

293
00:16:17,247 --> 00:16:20,875
And then suddenly, it sprang back up
into the public consciousness.

294
00:16:22,794 --> 00:16:25,588
[reporter 9]
Ian Bailey claims his life was destroyed

295
00:16:25,672 --> 00:16:27,340
by articles on the Sophie Toscan…

296
00:16:27,424 --> 00:16:29,676
[reporter 10] Bailey claimed
the newspapers had defamed him

297
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:32,971
by naming him as the killer
of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

298
00:16:33,054 --> 00:16:36,766
Every now and again, there'd be
a completely salacious, damaging story

299
00:16:36,850 --> 00:16:37,976
in one of the papers.

300
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,856
Obviously, certain detectives were
letting stories out to their contacts,

301
00:16:42,939 --> 00:16:45,900
and I… I subsequently took
a… a legal action over that.

302
00:16:45,984 --> 00:16:47,444
[reporter 9] To clear his name,

303
00:16:47,527 --> 00:16:49,863
he's brought
the most extraordinary libel action.

304
00:16:52,449 --> 00:16:54,868
Today,
journalist Ian Bailey's libel action

305
00:16:54,951 --> 00:16:57,579
against seven Irish
and British newspapers,

306
00:16:57,662 --> 00:16:59,831
arising out of their coverage of the case,

307
00:16:59,914 --> 00:17:01,791
opened at the circuit court in Cork.

308
00:17:01,875 --> 00:17:04,586
His barrister said for almost seven years,

309
00:17:04,669 --> 00:17:07,088
Mr. Bailey had been put on trial

310
00:17:07,172 --> 00:17:08,214
by a slanted media

311
00:17:08,298 --> 00:17:10,884
which had set out to demonise his client.

312
00:17:11,468 --> 00:17:15,764
But then, of course, newspapers applied
to get access to the Garda file,

313
00:17:16,264 --> 00:17:17,599
and they got that.

314
00:17:17,682 --> 00:17:19,893
Which would prove hugely significant.

315
00:17:20,852 --> 00:17:23,980
They subpoenaed witnesses
who'd made statements to the Gardaí.

316
00:17:24,064 --> 00:17:25,857
People who didn't want to be there

317
00:17:25,940 --> 00:17:28,818
suddenly found themselves
being brought in to court.

318
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:33,239
Obviously, I'd look at the RTÉ news,
and I'd see the Schull witnesses,

319
00:17:33,323 --> 00:17:35,492
who were up outside the courthouse,

320
00:17:35,575 --> 00:17:37,494
trying to dodge the cameras, you know,

321
00:17:37,577 --> 00:17:40,371
because no one wanted
to be filmed for national TV.

322
00:17:40,455 --> 00:17:42,332
We all took an interest in the case

323
00:17:42,415 --> 00:17:45,585
because, you know,
it's been part of our history now.

324
00:17:46,336 --> 00:17:49,255
We learned a lot about the case,
about the Garda investigation.

325
00:17:49,339 --> 00:17:51,758
It was the first time
the public got to learn about the details

326
00:17:51,841 --> 00:17:54,302
of the Garda's case against Ian Bailey.

327
00:17:54,803 --> 00:17:57,722
[reporter 9] The court heard
evidence in this case may continue

328
00:17:57,806 --> 00:17:59,599
until the end of this week.

329
00:17:59,682 --> 00:18:02,435
So we got a picture of the case
which the Gardaí had built,

330
00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:05,438
which was hugely circumstantial,
let it be said,

331
00:18:05,522 --> 00:18:07,524
but quite detailed nonetheless.

332
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,779
[Jean-Pierre in French] Previously,
we didn't have access to the Irish file.

333
00:18:12,862 --> 00:18:18,660
What was extraordinary was that
all the witnesses who had been interviewed

334
00:18:18,743 --> 00:18:22,956
came forward during this trial
to say the same thing.

335
00:18:23,456 --> 00:18:25,166
They weren't the ones telling lies.

336
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,629
[Barry in English] From a situation where
we never knew why Ian was a suspect,

337
00:18:29,712 --> 00:18:31,756
we suddenly began to see, "Hang on."

338
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,050
"This is why
they're pointing the finger at him."

339
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:37,595
[Paul] Although Ian Bailey
took the newspapers to court,

340
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:40,056
it essentially turned into a murder trial.

341
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:42,517
[reporter 9]
Bill Fuller said Bailey told him,

342
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,312
"She ran off screaming, and it stirred
something in the back of your head."

343
00:18:46,396 --> 00:18:48,481
"You went too far
and had to finish her off."

344
00:18:48,565 --> 00:18:50,900
[reporter 12] Mr. Fuller felt
Bailey was trying to confess…

345
00:18:50,984 --> 00:18:53,611
[reporter 12]
Malachi Reed claims Ian Bailey replied,

346
00:18:53,695 --> 00:18:57,532
"It was fine until I went up there
with a rock and bashed her brains in."

347
00:18:57,615 --> 00:19:01,035
[reporter 9] He put his arms around
Richard Shelley and said, "I did it."

348
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,370
"I went too far."

349
00:19:02,453 --> 00:19:06,374
It's strange that he didn't envisage
that this would go badly for him.

350
00:19:07,834 --> 00:19:10,670
[Michael] Bailey was gripped
by a bit of hubris,

351
00:19:10,753 --> 00:19:12,839
which he often was,

352
00:19:12,922 --> 00:19:16,509
and thought he's gonna make a fortune
and shut the media down.

353
00:19:17,260 --> 00:19:19,596
[reporter 13] One of the more interesting
pieces of evidence

354
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:21,514
to emerge during this libel case

355
00:19:21,598 --> 00:19:23,892
centred here on Kealfadda Bridge,

356
00:19:23,975 --> 00:19:25,977
about a mile from Sophie's house.

357
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:30,106
A shopkeeper from Schull told the court
that she saw Ian Bailey here

358
00:19:30,190 --> 00:19:33,109
at 3 a.m. on the night of Sophie's murder.

359
00:19:33,193 --> 00:19:35,278
From a Garda point of view,
Marie Farrell was critical.

360
00:19:35,361 --> 00:19:38,114
She was the only person
who could put Ian out of the house

361
00:19:38,198 --> 00:19:40,617
and in the vicinity of Sophie's house.

362
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:43,453
[reporter 9]
Marie Farrell told Gardaí she saw a man

363
00:19:43,536 --> 00:19:46,873
she later identified as Ian Bailey
at Kealfadda Bridge,

364
00:19:46,956 --> 00:19:50,460
about a mile from
Sophie Toscan du Plantier's holiday home.

365
00:19:50,543 --> 00:19:53,713
[Frédéric in French]
Marie Farrell is a central character

366
00:19:53,796 --> 00:19:56,633
because she saw Bailey
on the night of the murder

367
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,260
at Kealfadda Bridge.

368
00:19:59,344 --> 00:20:01,137
She was a pivotal witness.

369
00:20:01,221 --> 00:20:04,933
[interviewer in English] Are you 100% sure
it was Ian Bailey on the bridge?

370
00:20:05,016 --> 00:20:06,309
110%.

371
00:20:06,392 --> 00:20:09,562
And Ian Bailey confirmed that to me
when he came into my shop

372
00:20:09,646 --> 00:20:12,398
because he said,
"I know you saw me on the bridge."

373
00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:16,569
[Barry] She was extraordinarily credible.

374
00:20:16,653 --> 00:20:19,697
Very adamant, very definite,
very clear as to what she was saying,

375
00:20:19,781 --> 00:20:21,324
and very clear what she was saying

376
00:20:21,407 --> 00:20:24,118
about being harassed
and threatened afterwards by Ian.

377
00:20:24,744 --> 00:20:26,162
[reporter 9] Farrell told the court

378
00:20:26,246 --> 00:20:28,790
that Ian Bailey tried to force her
on a number of occasions

379
00:20:28,873 --> 00:20:31,251
to retract the statement
she made to Gardaí.

380
00:20:31,334 --> 00:20:33,962
She said he told her
he knew things about her

381
00:20:34,045 --> 00:20:36,381
and asked her to change her statement.

382
00:20:36,464 --> 00:20:39,384
[Michael] She made
many official complaints to the Gardaí

383
00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:44,973
in relation to the campaign of harassment
and intimidation she suffered

384
00:20:45,056 --> 00:20:47,058
at the hands of Ian Bailey.

385
00:20:47,141 --> 00:20:48,851
He arrived in the shop,

386
00:20:48,935 --> 00:20:52,063
and he said that he knew
I had seen him on the bridge

387
00:20:52,563 --> 00:20:55,066
and that he wanted me
to tell his solicitor

388
00:20:55,149 --> 00:20:58,403
that the Gardaí had made me
make up the story about him.

389
00:20:59,445 --> 00:21:01,823
And if I did that,
he would leave me alone.

390
00:21:01,906 --> 00:21:04,742
And when
I had no intentions of doing that,

391
00:21:04,826 --> 00:21:06,661
he made my life hell.

392
00:21:07,704 --> 00:21:09,664
And at one stage, I thought,

393
00:21:09,747 --> 00:21:12,250
"He's so big.
He could kill me here in two minutes,

394
00:21:12,333 --> 00:21:13,876
and nobody would know."

395
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,087
We were waiting
for the ice cream parlour to open,

396
00:21:16,170 --> 00:21:17,964
and she came running down,

397
00:21:18,047 --> 00:21:20,758
absolutely terrified,
and we said, "What's the matter?"

398
00:21:20,842 --> 00:21:24,220
And she said that
Bailey had parked facing her in the car,

399
00:21:24,304 --> 00:21:25,888
and he'd gone like this.

400
00:21:26,597 --> 00:21:31,269
He, em, would make cutthroat gestures
like this if he met me on the street,

401
00:21:31,352 --> 00:21:32,562
or he would do this.

402
00:21:33,229 --> 00:21:36,357
That type of intimidation
went on for months and months.

403
00:21:36,441 --> 00:21:40,028
She said she feared for herself
and for her children.

404
00:21:42,447 --> 00:21:44,282
[Michael] I did a lot of investigation.

405
00:21:44,365 --> 00:21:47,910
I discovered there were other witnesses
and neighbours he'd threatened.

406
00:21:48,745 --> 00:21:51,372
So it was quite understandable

407
00:21:51,456 --> 00:21:54,375
that particularly
the female population of the area

408
00:21:54,459 --> 00:21:56,085
should be scared of Ian Bailey.

409
00:21:57,628 --> 00:22:01,257
[Irune] A lot of women were
absolutely terrified of Ian Bailey.

410
00:22:02,383 --> 00:22:04,552
And a lot of women upped and left.

411
00:22:04,635 --> 00:22:07,221
They'd left, and they didn't come back.

412
00:22:08,264 --> 00:22:10,933
[reporter 14] Ian spent a third day
in the witness box

413
00:22:11,017 --> 00:22:12,310
in Cork Circuit Court today.

414
00:22:12,393 --> 00:22:14,354
[Paul] It was incredible
what was coming out.

415
00:22:14,437 --> 00:22:17,023
You'd have something written by lunchtime,

416
00:22:17,106 --> 00:22:19,442
and in the afternoon,
that was gone out the window.

417
00:22:19,525 --> 00:22:22,987
[reporter 9] Ian Bailey's
cross-examination began this afternoon,

418
00:22:23,071 --> 00:22:24,280
and almost immediately,

419
00:22:24,364 --> 00:22:28,326
he was challenged about what's been
described as his stormy relationship

420
00:22:28,409 --> 00:22:30,119
with his partner, Jules Thomas.

421
00:22:30,203 --> 00:22:34,040
He had beaten up Jules so badly,
she nearly lost an eye.

422
00:22:34,999 --> 00:22:37,668
[reporter 15] A friend of Jules Thomas's
daughter, Peter Bielecki,

423
00:22:37,752 --> 00:22:41,839
told the court about an assault
on Jules Thomas by Ian Bailey in 1996.

424
00:22:42,548 --> 00:22:46,260
[Peter] I got a knock on the door,
and it was Jules's daughter Virginia.

425
00:22:46,344 --> 00:22:49,889
Could I come
and take Jules to hospital, please?

426
00:22:51,432 --> 00:22:53,226
Jules is sat on the bed.

427
00:22:53,309 --> 00:22:55,186
She's… She's curled up in a ball.

428
00:22:55,269 --> 00:22:59,816
This eye is huge and turned in.
Half of her hair is out of her head.

429
00:23:00,316 --> 00:23:04,112
There's nail marks all over her face.
Her lip is ripped open.

430
00:23:09,242 --> 00:23:12,870
Uh, Fenella,
who was the little girl, looked at me,

431
00:23:13,913 --> 00:23:16,332
and, uh, to this day, I can't…

432
00:23:16,416 --> 00:23:17,625
[inhales shakily]

433
00:23:17,708 --> 00:23:19,210
Sorry. Just give me a sec. Um…

434
00:23:20,044 --> 00:23:22,547
[voice cracks]
It was the look on that kid's face.

435
00:23:23,756 --> 00:23:25,758
Like, "Help. Help me, please,"

436
00:23:25,842 --> 00:23:27,093
and I couldn't, you know?

437
00:23:27,176 --> 00:23:28,177
[breathes shakily]

438
00:23:29,095 --> 00:23:32,390
And, uh,
I've never felt so useless in all my life.

439
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:35,810
I… I couldn't help this child, you know?

440
00:23:40,982 --> 00:23:44,068
It became part of their life together,

441
00:23:44,652 --> 00:23:49,031
um, and the neighbours
got used to seeing her, uh, bruised.

442
00:23:50,450 --> 00:23:54,036
After the third or fourth time,
they'd see her with a black eye.

443
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:57,165
They were appalled
by the savagery of the attacks.

444
00:23:59,125 --> 00:24:01,586
[reporter 16] Paul Gallagher
for the newspapers suggested to him

445
00:24:01,669 --> 00:24:04,172
that he'd inflicted
at least five assaults on Ms. Thomas.

446
00:24:05,047 --> 00:24:06,215
[sighs]

447
00:24:07,091 --> 00:24:09,218
It's not that
I don't wanna go back into them,

448
00:24:09,302 --> 00:24:11,137
but, I mean, they are long past.

449
00:24:13,222 --> 00:24:15,766
On that occasion, she'd been drinking,
we'd both been drinking.

450
00:24:15,850 --> 00:24:19,812
I've maybe… I don't know what happened,
but she started to grab me,

451
00:24:21,230 --> 00:24:22,940
and I was pushing her back,

452
00:24:23,024 --> 00:24:24,984
and I hurt her in that process.

453
00:24:25,067 --> 00:24:26,694
[reporter 9] Mr. Bailey admitted

454
00:24:26,777 --> 00:24:30,615
that Ms. Thomas had been left
with clumps of hair missing from her head,

455
00:24:30,698 --> 00:24:33,493
her eye was purple,
the size of a grapefruit,

456
00:24:33,576 --> 00:24:37,413
and her lip was severed from her gum.
She needed eight stitches.

457
00:24:37,497 --> 00:24:41,125
Mr. Bailey said he had drink taken
and had lost control,

458
00:24:41,209 --> 00:24:43,669
but he denied that he was a violent man.

459
00:24:43,753 --> 00:24:45,838
I'd had a conversation with a local guard,

460
00:24:45,922 --> 00:24:47,882
and I said,
"She's not gonna press charges."

461
00:24:47,965 --> 00:24:50,301
And he said,
"She must do because…

462
00:24:50,927 --> 00:24:52,261
[inhales sharply] …if she doesn't,

463
00:24:52,345 --> 00:24:55,556
it could be worse next time.
And it might not even be her."

464
00:24:57,975 --> 00:25:00,937
[interviewer] In relation
to Sophie's murder, when was this?

465
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:01,938
Hmm…

466
00:25:02,021 --> 00:25:03,814
Six months before, I suppose.

467
00:25:03,898 --> 00:25:04,941
At most.

468
00:25:06,901 --> 00:25:09,111
I'd have to take full responsibility.

469
00:25:11,197 --> 00:25:14,242
But, I mean, it does take two…
You know, it takes two to tango.

470
00:25:14,325 --> 00:25:16,035
But I'm not trying to absolve my…

471
00:25:16,619 --> 00:25:18,079
my actions or,

472
00:25:19,038 --> 00:25:20,248
you know, at all.

473
00:25:21,332 --> 00:25:26,379
Ian is a very interesting paradox
between being shameless and shameful.

474
00:25:29,006 --> 00:25:32,260
[reporter 9] Today, Judge Patrick Moran
ruled against Ian Bailey.

475
00:25:32,343 --> 00:25:34,971
The newspapers
didn't brand him the murderer,

476
00:25:35,054 --> 00:25:39,725
and Judge Moran had no hesitation
in describing Mr. Bailey as a violent man.

477
00:25:39,809 --> 00:25:41,269
[Lara] He lost the case.

478
00:25:41,352 --> 00:25:45,856
It did seem like
almost an act of self-harm for him

479
00:25:46,357 --> 00:25:48,818
to bring this trial upon himself.

480
00:25:48,901 --> 00:25:52,280
[reporter 17] In Paris, in the home
of Sophie Toscan du Plantier's parents,

481
00:25:52,363 --> 00:25:54,532
her family welcomed the judge's ruling.

482
00:25:54,615 --> 00:25:55,950
[speaking French]

483
00:25:56,033 --> 00:25:57,660
[English voiceover] The verdict is right.

484
00:25:57,743 --> 00:25:59,328
What's sure is that the judge insisted

485
00:25:59,412 --> 00:26:02,331
he was a very violent person,
mainly with women.

486
00:26:02,415 --> 00:26:04,959
We hope that, with the new testimonies,

487
00:26:05,042 --> 00:26:07,545
the DPP will take a decision very soon

488
00:26:07,628 --> 00:26:09,046
to arrest the murderer.

489
00:26:10,464 --> 00:26:12,550
You felt immediately
that what was gonna happen

490
00:26:12,633 --> 00:26:16,262
was that he was gonna get arrested now,
and something was gonna come of this.

491
00:26:16,345 --> 00:26:22,310
We were just still hoping
that the DPP would carry on and prosecute.

492
00:26:24,604 --> 00:26:27,315
[reporter 18]
The Irish director of public prosecutions

493
00:26:27,398 --> 00:26:30,776
says he has no plans
to charge Ian Bailey with the murder.

494
00:26:31,736 --> 00:26:32,778
[Lara] For me,

495
00:26:32,862 --> 00:26:36,032
it's stunning to think
that after all that came out,

496
00:26:36,115 --> 00:26:38,534
all that testimony and all that evidence,

497
00:26:38,618 --> 00:26:40,494
that Ireland never put him on trial.

498
00:26:41,245 --> 00:26:43,706
[Jean-Pierre in French] It was evident

499
00:26:43,789 --> 00:26:48,210
that Bailey seemed
even more guilty than before.

500
00:26:48,794 --> 00:26:49,879
But nothing happened.

501
00:27:01,849 --> 00:27:03,476
[Pierre-Louis] Since my mother's death,

502
00:27:03,976 --> 00:27:06,437
I've been lucky enough
to put a big barrier

503
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,316
between… between me and this story.

504
00:27:10,941 --> 00:27:12,652
[sombre music plays]

505
00:27:15,404 --> 00:27:19,033
But, uh, time moves on. Uh…

506
00:27:19,116 --> 00:27:20,534
So now it's been 23 years,

507
00:27:21,577 --> 00:27:22,995
there have been two phases.

508
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:24,121
The phase

509
00:27:25,331 --> 00:27:27,375
where I was, uh…

510
00:27:28,376 --> 00:27:31,003
the child who's suffering,

511
00:27:31,921 --> 00:27:33,881
crying, grieving,

512
00:27:33,964 --> 00:27:35,424
and then the phase

513
00:27:36,217 --> 00:27:37,885
where I enter the fight.

514
00:27:37,968 --> 00:27:39,553
[suspenseful music plays]

515
00:27:50,898 --> 00:27:56,237
The association is extremely important
for me and for the search for truth.

516
00:27:57,780 --> 00:28:01,617
Every month,
whatever is going on in everyone's lives,

517
00:28:02,410 --> 00:28:03,452
we meet.

518
00:28:03,536 --> 00:28:04,453
Ça va?

519
00:28:04,537 --> 00:28:05,871
[kisses]

520
00:28:08,457 --> 00:28:11,127
It was founded by my grandma's brother.

521
00:28:12,169 --> 00:28:15,005
[Jean-Pierre]
We were very confident. The Irish police,

522
00:28:15,089 --> 00:28:16,006
the Garda,

523
00:28:16,507 --> 00:28:19,844
were going to solve the problem.
"We'd found the killer."

524
00:28:20,636 --> 00:28:23,013
Then, obviously,
it didn't work out like that.

525
00:28:24,348 --> 00:28:26,934
At that point,
I started saying to my sister,

526
00:28:27,017 --> 00:28:29,895
"We're stuck. We could wait years.
Nothing is being done."

527
00:28:29,979 --> 00:28:33,023
And so we created the association in 2007.

528
00:28:33,566 --> 00:28:35,025
[Pierre-Louis] What's going on?

529
00:28:35,776 --> 00:28:37,236
[woman speaks French]

530
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:39,155
[Pierre-Louis] Have you lost weight?

531
00:28:39,238 --> 00:28:42,324
[Jean-Pierre] I didn't know anything
about criminal law.

532
00:28:42,408 --> 00:28:45,327
I learned about
the differences between the legal systems.

533
00:28:45,995 --> 00:28:51,417
Is it possible
to convict in absentia in Ireland?

534
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:54,170
[Barry in English] The French system,
it is such a different system.

535
00:28:54,253 --> 00:28:58,007
It really is incredibly different,
and you can't overstate that enough.

536
00:28:58,090 --> 00:29:02,219
[Lara] In Ireland, which is based on
the British justice system,

537
00:29:02,303 --> 00:29:05,556
you have to prove guilt
beyond reasonable doubt,

538
00:29:05,639 --> 00:29:09,977
and in France,
it's un faisceau de preuves.

539
00:29:10,060 --> 00:29:12,688
It's like a bouquet of evidence.

540
00:29:14,273 --> 00:29:17,485
[Jean-Pierre in French]
After the 2003 libel trial,

541
00:29:17,568 --> 00:29:20,529
we have all the witness accounts.
We have everything for the first time.

542
00:29:21,030 --> 00:29:24,825
And it was the beginning
of the legal fight in France

543
00:29:25,326 --> 00:29:26,952
for truth and justice

544
00:29:27,578 --> 00:29:28,579
for Sophie.

545
00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:34,752
[Pierre-Louis] All those who knew my mom,
uh, knew she was a fighter,

546
00:29:34,835 --> 00:29:37,755
and, uh, I… I…

547
00:29:37,838 --> 00:29:39,840
I am going to try and be a fighter.

548
00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:41,675
One thing is for sure.

549
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:45,471
Bailey will not evade justice
his whole life.

550
00:29:45,554 --> 00:29:47,139
[distant cheering, applause]

551
00:29:48,641 --> 00:29:52,436
[Jean-Pierre] We created
the association in September 2007,

552
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,357
and the French investigation
began in 2008.

553
00:30:02,822 --> 00:30:05,699
[Barry in English] I've learned
from this story, covering for 24 years,

554
00:30:05,783 --> 00:30:08,118
is that every time
you think it has played out,

555
00:30:08,202 --> 00:30:11,956
it never fails to surprise you.

556
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:13,541
[bell dinging]

557
00:30:13,624 --> 00:30:15,125
[suspenseful music plays]

558
00:30:16,043 --> 00:30:17,670
[Paul] There was a development
in the story

559
00:30:17,753 --> 00:30:21,423
that took Ireland and France by storm.

560
00:30:22,007 --> 00:30:23,759
I'm positive it wasn't Ian Bailey.

561
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,015
-You're certain it wasn't Ian Bailey?
-[Marie] Positive.

562
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:33,143
[Paul] Marie Farrell
had retracted her statements.

563
00:30:33,227 --> 00:30:34,937
It was all more or less bullshit

564
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:37,273
in the statements,
and I wanted to withdraw them.

565
00:30:37,898 --> 00:30:41,026
[reporter 19] The principal witness
has suddenly, irrevocably

566
00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:43,445
removed herself from the equation.

567
00:30:43,529 --> 00:30:48,325
[reporter 20] Marie Farrell turned
the whole investigation on its head.

568
00:30:49,076 --> 00:30:51,829
[reporter 21] She was with a man
who was not her husband.

569
00:30:51,912 --> 00:30:55,499
[Marie] If this came out,
my whole life was destroyed, I thought,

570
00:30:55,583 --> 00:30:57,751
because I thought my marriage was gone,

571
00:30:57,835 --> 00:31:00,170
even though
I hadn't been having an affair.

572
00:31:00,754 --> 00:31:02,131
[reporter 21] Compromised by that,

573
00:31:02,214 --> 00:31:07,386
she now claims police forced her
to falsely identify their prime suspect.

574
00:31:07,469 --> 00:31:09,430
[Marie] They told me
not to worry about it,

575
00:31:09,513 --> 00:31:11,599
that I would never have to go to court,

576
00:31:12,099 --> 00:31:14,894
that they only wanted me
to say it for their own records.

577
00:31:14,977 --> 00:31:16,687
[tense music plays]

578
00:31:18,522 --> 00:31:21,150
During the libel trial, I believed her.

579
00:31:21,233 --> 00:31:23,569
She was giving evidence.
She was very credible.

580
00:31:23,652 --> 00:31:25,529
When she retracted her statements,

581
00:31:25,613 --> 00:31:28,115
I believed her.
She was very credible again.

582
00:31:28,198 --> 00:31:30,200
[Marie] I told them
I was withdrawing the statements,

583
00:31:30,284 --> 00:31:34,413
and I was crying, and I told him. I said,
"This is it. I'm withdrawing everything."

584
00:31:34,496 --> 00:31:37,499
"I don't want any more of this.
I can't handle it. I can't take any more."

585
00:31:38,792 --> 00:31:39,710
Well, now…

586
00:31:39,793 --> 00:31:40,961
[chuckles]

587
00:31:41,045 --> 00:31:42,379
…I don't know. You see,

588
00:31:44,131 --> 00:31:47,801
she kept to her story for ten years,

589
00:31:47,885 --> 00:31:50,179
which I believed was right.

590
00:31:51,430 --> 00:31:53,265
What made her change her story?

591
00:31:54,391 --> 00:31:55,476
What do you think?

592
00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:57,019
I am telling the truth now.

593
00:31:57,102 --> 00:32:00,814
Why would I put myself
in the spotlight like this

594
00:32:00,898 --> 00:32:02,524
if I wasn't telling the truth?

595
00:32:02,608 --> 00:32:06,153
Maybe you could be doing it
if Ian Bailey was threatening you

596
00:32:06,236 --> 00:32:07,321
or intimidating you,

597
00:32:07,404 --> 00:32:09,907
as the evidence
has been in court hitherto,

598
00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:13,494
from your own mouth, indeed, you know,
that you could be scared of him,

599
00:32:13,577 --> 00:32:15,913
and this is your way
to get him off your back.

600
00:32:16,830 --> 00:32:19,750
No, I have not been intimidated
in any way by Ian Bailey.

601
00:32:21,293 --> 00:32:23,462
[Frédéric in French]
Our family's great regret

602
00:32:23,545 --> 00:32:25,255
is that we didn't stop the pressure

603
00:32:25,339 --> 00:32:27,424
that Bailey exerted on Marie Farrell.

604
00:32:28,175 --> 00:32:29,426
For many years,

605
00:32:30,094 --> 00:32:32,846
she lived in the same village
as Bailey, in Schull,

606
00:32:33,389 --> 00:32:35,766
and she was put under enormous pressure.

607
00:32:35,849 --> 00:32:37,851
[inaudible]

608
00:32:37,935 --> 00:32:41,438
[Frédéric] The case swung,
and Ian Bailey started to bounce back.

609
00:32:44,233 --> 00:32:46,360
[Michael in English] Bailey was thrilled.

610
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:50,322
As he said,
"Welcome onto the side of good."

611
00:32:50,406 --> 00:32:52,783
[indistinct conversation]

612
00:32:52,866 --> 00:32:54,994
They now had a witness on their side

613
00:32:55,494 --> 00:32:59,331
who would claim, uh,
that the Gardaí were corrupt.

614
00:32:59,415 --> 00:33:00,624
[camera shutters clicking]

615
00:33:00,708 --> 00:33:04,712
Bailey has always said
that the treatment that he has received

616
00:33:04,795 --> 00:33:07,339
at the hands of the Irish police
has been corrupt.

617
00:33:07,423 --> 00:33:08,424
[camera clicks]

618
00:33:10,634 --> 00:33:11,760
[camera clicks]

619
00:33:14,555 --> 00:33:16,473
[Barry] Was the investigation corrupt

620
00:33:16,557 --> 00:33:20,019
with the intent of framing somebody
they knew to be innocent?

621
00:33:20,102 --> 00:33:23,063
I would contend
that was more to incompetence

622
00:33:23,147 --> 00:33:25,482
rather than
anything deliberate or malicious.

623
00:33:26,775 --> 00:33:29,486
[Paul] Unfortunately,
I think the whole debacle

624
00:33:29,570 --> 00:33:33,782
hinges on the way
the guards handled this from day one.

625
00:33:37,995 --> 00:33:41,874
[Pierre-Louis in French]
Big mistakes from the beginning,

626
00:33:41,957 --> 00:33:46,253
from the crime scene
that wasn't preserved.

627
00:33:48,547 --> 00:33:50,549
People could walk over it.

628
00:33:53,052 --> 00:33:57,181
[in English] Exhibits have gone missing.
Let's be frank about that. There's a gate.

629
00:33:58,140 --> 00:34:01,143
[Paul] A big,
bloodstained gate from a farmyard

630
00:34:01,226 --> 00:34:03,312
in this investigation went missing.

631
00:34:03,395 --> 00:34:06,523
How in the name of God
can something like that go missing?

632
00:34:08,442 --> 00:34:10,235
[Barry] Why didn't they have
an identity parade

633
00:34:10,319 --> 00:34:13,781
after Marie Farrell identified him
as the man she'd seen at Kealfadda Bridge?

634
00:34:14,281 --> 00:34:15,866
That was just one aspect, I think,

635
00:34:15,949 --> 00:34:18,994
that the Gardaí would concede privately
that they fell down on.

636
00:34:20,245 --> 00:34:23,165
[Dwyer] We're like any police force.
We're not perfect.

637
00:34:23,248 --> 00:34:26,835
I'm not saying we didn't make mistakes,
but there was no…

638
00:34:26,919 --> 00:34:29,880
I'd say that anyplace.
There was no corruption.

639
00:34:29,963 --> 00:34:31,840
There was no setting people up.

640
00:34:31,924 --> 00:34:33,509
It was done on the level.

641
00:34:34,718 --> 00:34:37,096
[Barry] I don't think anybody
would hold up the investigation

642
00:34:37,179 --> 00:34:38,889
as a model of how it should be done.

643
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,850
But because there are failings
in the Garda investigation,

644
00:34:41,934 --> 00:34:44,728
does that automatically mean
that he's innocent?

645
00:34:46,021 --> 00:34:47,523
[seagulls calling]

646
00:34:50,859 --> 00:34:54,113
[Irune] Six months went by, a year,
then two, three, four years,

647
00:34:54,196 --> 00:34:57,866
and you're thinking, "Why on earth
isn't something being done?"

648
00:34:58,534 --> 00:35:02,955
I just don't understand
why the DPP didn't prosecute.

649
00:35:05,207 --> 00:35:08,544
[reporter 22] Newly uncovered
official files have begun to emerge.

650
00:35:08,627 --> 00:35:14,466
Ten years ago, the DPP's office said
a prosecution of Bailey was not warranted.

651
00:35:14,550 --> 00:35:18,137
[Barry] In 2011,
we learned why the DPP concluded

652
00:35:18,220 --> 00:35:21,473
that the evidence didn't merit
a charge against Ian Bailey.

653
00:35:21,557 --> 00:35:24,434
[reporter 23] The documents included
the opinion of Eamonn Barnes,

654
00:35:24,518 --> 00:35:26,645
who was
the director of public prosecutions

655
00:35:26,728 --> 00:35:29,189
who made the decision
not to prosecute Mr. Bailey.

656
00:35:29,273 --> 00:35:31,650
He said in his opinion,
the evidence in the case

657
00:35:31,733 --> 00:35:34,736
came nowhere near
warranting a charge against Mr. Bailey.

658
00:35:34,820 --> 00:35:39,324
Mr. Barnes said the Garda investigation
was thoroughly flawed and prejudiced

659
00:35:39,408 --> 00:35:40,617
in relation to Mr. Bailey.

660
00:35:40,701 --> 00:35:44,079
The DPP decided that there were
some very questionable practices

661
00:35:44,163 --> 00:35:47,166
being, eh, used by Gardaí
in the course of the investigation.

662
00:35:50,627 --> 00:35:53,964
[Dwyer] I was very disappointed
with a whole lot of things.

663
00:35:55,340 --> 00:35:56,258
I'm a cop.

664
00:35:56,341 --> 00:35:59,136
My job as a cop is to collect
what evidence we have

665
00:35:59,219 --> 00:36:01,638
and submit it to the DPP's office.

666
00:36:01,722 --> 00:36:03,974
And 'tis they make the decisions.

667
00:36:04,057 --> 00:36:06,476
We're not in a position
to dispute anything with them,

668
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,478
despite the fact
that you see things there,

669
00:36:08,562 --> 00:36:11,523
and they say, "How can he ignore that?
How can he ignore this?"

670
00:36:13,775 --> 00:36:15,569
[Barry] In almost every single case

671
00:36:15,652 --> 00:36:18,697
where a witness gives a statement
and Ian gives a different version,

672
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:20,991
the DPP tends to side
with Ian's interpretation.

673
00:36:22,659 --> 00:36:26,455
[Michael] He argued
with every single witness

674
00:36:26,538 --> 00:36:28,457
in terms of their credibility.

675
00:36:28,540 --> 00:36:31,251
[Barry] People like the Shelleys,
Malachi Reed,

676
00:36:31,335 --> 00:36:34,630
he questions on the basis that
they didn't make the statement immediately

677
00:36:34,713 --> 00:36:36,423
and therefore they can't be reliable.

678
00:36:37,174 --> 00:36:39,551
For example, Malachi Reed, at 14,

679
00:36:39,635 --> 00:36:42,137
didn't say to his mother
that evening when he came home.

680
00:36:42,221 --> 00:36:45,807
He waited till the following day,
so the DPP dismissed that statement.

681
00:36:45,891 --> 00:36:47,476
Ordinary witnesses

682
00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:52,397
who had no reason whatsoever, uh, to lie.

683
00:36:53,398 --> 00:36:57,361
[Barry] His interpretation
of Ian Bailey's previous behaviour,

684
00:36:58,904 --> 00:37:00,864
I'm not sure how
you can interpret something

685
00:37:00,948 --> 00:37:03,075
as being sarcastic from a written script.

686
00:37:03,617 --> 00:37:05,786
[Lara] One of the most shocking things
about the report

687
00:37:05,869 --> 00:37:10,040
is it says, "Well, yes, Bailey had been
very violent towards women,

688
00:37:10,123 --> 00:37:13,794
but then, unfortunately,
this happens all the time," you know.

689
00:37:13,877 --> 00:37:15,128
Sort of excusing it

690
00:37:15,212 --> 00:37:18,298
and saying that the fact he had
a history of violence against women

691
00:37:18,382 --> 00:37:22,010
was not relevant to the case
that this woman was beaten to a pulp.

692
00:37:23,887 --> 00:37:26,473
Indeed, the conclusion
at the end of the report is,

693
00:37:26,556 --> 00:37:29,810
"We believe there are not
sufficient grounds to send him to trial."

694
00:37:29,893 --> 00:37:32,980
[reporter 23] James Hamilton said
there was insufficient evidence

695
00:37:33,063 --> 00:37:36,692
to charge Ian Bailey with the murder
of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

696
00:37:36,775 --> 00:37:39,278
He said
investigators can act on suspicion,

697
00:37:39,361 --> 00:37:41,989
but the DPP must act on evidence.

698
00:37:45,158 --> 00:37:47,286
[reporter 24]
Sophie Toscan du Plantier's family

699
00:37:47,369 --> 00:37:51,039
have established an association
to maintain pressure on authorities

700
00:37:51,123 --> 00:37:52,874
in Ireland and France.

701
00:37:52,958 --> 00:37:55,627
That pressure led to the decision
by the Garda commissioner

702
00:37:55,711 --> 00:37:58,547
and the minister for justice
to hand over the Garda file

703
00:37:58,630 --> 00:38:01,300
on Madame Toscan du Plantier's murder
last month

704
00:38:01,383 --> 00:38:03,176
to a magistrate in Paris,

705
00:38:03,260 --> 00:38:06,555
who's conducting
his own investigation under French law.

[Jean-Pierre in French]
When a French citizen is murdered abroad,

707
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,314
France has the right
to carry out its own inquiry

708
00:38:15,397 --> 00:38:18,191
and after that to prosecute

709
00:38:19,026 --> 00:38:20,360
the suspect.

710
00:38:21,028 --> 00:38:24,990
[in English] I think, and I hope,
there will be a prosecution in this case.

711
00:38:25,073 --> 00:38:27,367
We are working for this.

712
00:38:28,493 --> 00:38:30,078
[Paul] It was the French family

713
00:38:30,162 --> 00:38:33,290
that kept knocking on the door
of the French government.

714
00:38:33,790 --> 00:38:36,585
"Get the Irish justice system
to sort this out."

715
00:38:36,668 --> 00:38:38,086
"Get somebody on trial."

716
00:38:45,010 --> 00:38:49,389
[Ian] I've got a stick which now contains
all of the major documents.

00:38:49,473 --> 00:38:50,557
The French file.

718
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,727
I'm fully sympathetic to the family,

719
00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:57,147
but I cannot understand why it is

720
00:38:57,230 --> 00:39:01,902
that they are so convinced by the evidence
that we have shown in this country.

721
00:39:01,985 --> 00:39:04,112
It's dodgy, to say the least.

722
00:39:04,196 --> 00:39:07,407
There had been a conspiracy
to pervert the course of justice

723
00:39:07,491 --> 00:39:10,410
by getting Marie Farrell
to make false statements.

724
00:39:10,911 --> 00:39:14,623
So I was battling and trying to take
legal actions to… to clear my name.

Ian Bailey is suing the state

729
00:39:26,134 --> 00:39:29,596
amid claims that he was wrongly targeted
as a suspect in the murder.

730
00:39:29,679 --> 00:39:31,723
[Dwyer] Bailey was taking us to court.

731

The truth always comes out at the end.

00:39:34,810 --> 00:39:37,437
It might be a long time,
but 'twill happen.

733
00:39:39,648 --> 00:39:40,899
[reporter 26] The jury was told

734
00:39:40,982 --> 00:39:43,735
some Gardaí conspired
to implicate Ian Bailey

735
00:39:43,819 --> 00:39:46,363
in the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier

736
00:39:46,446 --> 00:39:49,366
and set out to blame him
for a crime he didn't commit.

737
00:39:49,449 --> 00:39:51,368
Certainly the way it was shaping up,

738
00:39:51,451 --> 00:39:53,787
it looked as though
Ian Bailey was going to win.

739
00:39:54,746 --> 00:39:58,625
[reporter 26] Farrell said she'd come
to court without any threat or inducement

740
00:39:58,708 --> 00:40:00,877
and was under oath to tell the truth.

741
00:40:00,961 --> 00:40:04,756
Of course, Marie Farrell,
when she came up on the stand,

742
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,634
she was considered the star witness.

743
00:40:07,717 --> 00:40:11,012
[reporter 26] Marie Farrell's time
in the witness box was dramatic.

744
00:40:11,096 --> 00:40:13,140
[Michael] But the defence counsel said

745
00:40:13,223 --> 00:40:16,726
that her evidence was not credible
in many matters.

746
00:40:17,561 --> 00:40:22,149
And then it came to the issue
of the man she was with

747
00:40:22,774 --> 00:40:25,777
on the night
she saw Bailey at Kealfadda Bridge.

748
00:40:26,361 --> 00:40:28,989
[reporter 26]
Farrell has never revealed the identity

749
00:40:29,072 --> 00:40:32,951
of a man she was with
on 23rd December 1996.

750
00:40:33,034 --> 00:40:34,536
In the witness box today,

751
00:40:34,619 --> 00:40:37,497
she still refused to name
the man she was with that night.

752
00:40:37,581 --> 00:40:39,207
"I will not do that," she said.

753
00:40:39,291 --> 00:40:42,836
[Michael] He pressed her further,
and then she says,

754
00:40:42,919 --> 00:40:46,173
"I'm sick to death of this.
It's all about my personal relationship."

755
00:40:46,256 --> 00:40:48,008
"I'm not putting up with any more."

756
00:40:48,091 --> 00:40:51,303
She took her handbag and her coat,
and she left the witness stand

757
00:40:51,386 --> 00:40:52,804
and departed the court,

758
00:40:52,888 --> 00:40:56,183
to the horror of Bailey and his team.

759
00:40:56,266 --> 00:40:59,394
And, I mean, Marie Farrell's walkout was,
you know, box office.

760
00:41:01,396 --> 00:41:03,565
The cameraman from RTÉ was really sharp.

761
00:41:03,648 --> 00:41:05,317
He raced around from the front,

762
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,694
around the back,
and got her walking out the back.

763
00:41:08,195 --> 00:41:10,280
Frank Buttimer
had to persuade her to come back.

764
00:41:11,615 --> 00:41:15,702
[Michael] The judge warned her.
He says, "This will be your last walkout."

765
00:41:16,453 --> 00:41:18,330
He then said,

766
00:41:18,413 --> 00:41:21,625
"You will have to give
the name of this man."

"There's going to be
no secrets in this trial. Name him."

768
00:41:25,212 --> 00:41:26,338
She named a man.

769
00:41:27,088 --> 00:41:28,298
It was another lie.

770
00:41:29,341 --> 00:41:33,345
She had just actually lied
to the court under oath.

Lawyers for the Gardaí and the state

772

had varied so often over the years

773
00:41:38,058 --> 00:41:39,851
that she couldn't be believed.

774
00:41:41,686 --> 00:41:44,105

she was telling lies nonstop.

Eventually, she didn't know what
she was saying. She was talking rubbish.

776

The critical witness for Ian
is Marie Farrell.

It really is
the most important thing to his case,

778
00:41:53,198 --> 00:41:54,741
and her credibility was completely shot,

779
00:41:54,824 --> 00:41:57,702

and lost the High Court action.

Do you know, 24 years is a long time.

00:42:46,793 --> 00:42:49,963
And, uh, you know, the memory goes thin,

795
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,466
and it's hard to remember
everything in detail.

796
00:42:53,550 --> 00:42:56,469
There's been court cases for libel,

court cases for other things,

798
00:42:58,722 --> 00:43:01,141
and it's been known as
the Bailey case ever since,

799
00:43:01,224 --> 00:43:04,144

has to go back to Sophie,

of what the person had to say.

of being interviewed by the Garda

00:45:15,024 --> 00:45:17,026
The scratches were visible,

837
00:45:17,110 --> 00:45:18,611
and, um…

838
00:45:18,695 --> 00:45:21,573
I don't, uh, think
they were caused by a Christmas tree

839
00:45:21,656 --> 00:45:23,950
or from killing a turkey.

840
00:45:24,033 --> 00:45:26,828
It's not like I was, uh, scrutinising him,

841
00:45:26,911 --> 00:45:29,038
but, uh, you know, I can comfortably say

842
00:45:29,122 --> 00:45:33,084
that maybe
some thorns caused the scratches.

843
00:45:39,299 --> 00:45:41,760
I remember, uh, you know, taking a shower.

844
00:45:44,345 --> 00:45:46,848
There was a large bucket in the shower.

845
00:45:48,641 --> 00:45:52,395
A dark coat soaked in there.

846
00:45:53,730 --> 00:45:55,064
Heavy material.

847
00:45:56,024 --> 00:45:57,942
I believe it was Ian's coat.

848
00:45:59,944 --> 00:46:02,197
I would say that's unusual, you know,

849
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,742
you're washing such a large item
that is not easy to dry,

850
00:46:05,825 --> 00:46:08,661
you know,
in the middle of winter, but, uh…

851
00:46:10,955 --> 00:46:13,833
It's significant, and I remember clearly

852
00:46:15,210 --> 00:46:16,419
that it was unusual.

853
00:46:24,135 --> 00:46:27,680
[Barry] I still think there are
a huge number of questions about the case

854
00:46:27,764 --> 00:46:30,850
that he's never answered satisfactorily.

855
00:46:32,894 --> 00:46:36,022
There are just so many contradictions
between his version of it

856
00:46:36,105 --> 00:46:38,900
with the witnesses
who'd given statements to the Gardaí.

857
00:46:40,610 --> 00:46:42,862
Take for example, did he know Sophie?

858
00:46:45,782 --> 00:46:48,034
[interviewer on radio] Had you
previous knowledge of this woman?

859
00:46:48,117 --> 00:46:50,495
Had you met her?
Were you acquainted with her?

860
00:46:50,578 --> 00:46:51,830
Had you seen her before?

861
00:46:51,913 --> 00:46:54,833
[Ian on radio] Um, I'd never met her,
never been introduced to her.

862
00:46:54,916 --> 00:46:56,209
I'd never spoken to her.

863
00:46:56,292 --> 00:46:58,628
[reporter] Did you know
Sophie Toscan du Plantier?

864
00:46:58,753 --> 00:47:01,673
I didn't know her
inasmuch that I had never met her,

865
00:47:01,756 --> 00:47:04,300
but I had seen her once,
and she was pointed out to me.

866
00:47:04,384 --> 00:47:06,469
[interviewer] Did you know
Sophie Toscan du Plantier?

867
00:47:06,553 --> 00:47:09,305
I had never met her,
never spoken with her.

868
00:47:09,389 --> 00:47:12,976
I had seen her on one occasion
when it was pointed out by a neighbour.

869
00:47:17,105 --> 00:47:20,608
[Agnes in French]
When Sophie died, it was such a shock.

870
00:47:21,609 --> 00:47:24,279
As a result, I closed all the doors.

871
00:47:24,362 --> 00:47:27,448
I didn't read, listen, or watch anything.

872
00:47:28,992 --> 00:47:30,827
I didn't want to know anything.

873
00:47:33,121 --> 00:47:36,749
The memory only came back
because we created the association,

874
00:47:37,458 --> 00:47:39,627
so it was a very long time afterwards.

875
00:47:39,711 --> 00:47:41,963
It's one of those curiosities
of the memory.

876
00:47:42,046 --> 00:47:46,801
"A man who wrote poems"
flooded back into my mind.

877
00:47:49,596 --> 00:47:52,599
It may have been
the first night she was in Ireland.

878
00:47:52,682 --> 00:47:55,602
A few days before my birthday,
she called me,

879
00:47:55,685 --> 00:47:58,271
and we talked about everything,

880
00:47:58,354 --> 00:48:02,442
about her life, her husband,
her work, what she'd done that day.

881
00:48:04,444 --> 00:48:08,197
At a point in the conversation
where she was talking about her work,

882
00:48:08,281 --> 00:48:10,283
she told me about this man.

883
00:48:11,326 --> 00:48:14,370
This man wanted to meet her
to tell her about a project

884
00:48:15,455 --> 00:48:16,497
about poetry,

885
00:48:18,041 --> 00:48:19,626
and she found him strange.

886
00:48:20,251 --> 00:48:22,629
She found him
a bit worrying as a character.

887
00:48:23,713 --> 00:48:27,342
I said, "Don't see him alone.
See him in a public place."

888
00:48:29,552 --> 00:48:33,222
[Barry in English] He said
he never met her. You've all these people,

889
00:48:33,306 --> 00:48:35,558
at least eight other people,

890
00:48:35,642 --> 00:48:39,395
giving statements that contradict Ian
where he says he doesn't know her.

891
00:48:41,522 --> 00:48:44,525
[church bells ring]

892
00:48:44,609 --> 00:48:47,528
Perhaps the most significant of all
is Guy Girard,

893
00:48:47,612 --> 00:48:50,239
a film producer who worked with Sophie

894
00:48:50,323 --> 00:48:52,742
and spoke to her
before she left for Ireland,

895
00:48:52,825 --> 00:48:54,285
and she again mentioned

896
00:48:54,369 --> 00:48:58,331
that she was going to meet this man
living in Schull who was a writer.

897
00:49:00,208 --> 00:49:05,296
[Guy in French]
This story extremely affected me deeply.

898
00:49:06,089 --> 00:49:08,675
It profoundly affected me.

899
00:49:10,134 --> 00:49:13,930
It was the evening before her departure.

900
00:49:15,848 --> 00:49:19,268
I thought
she was talking about a Breton director

901
00:49:19,352 --> 00:49:21,813
who had a similar-sounding name.

902
00:49:22,689 --> 00:49:25,984
So I said to her, "Oh yes, I know him.
I've seen this film, that film."

903
00:49:26,067 --> 00:49:28,361
She said, "No, you can't know him."

904
00:49:28,444 --> 00:49:31,406
"Eoin Bailey lives
next door to me in Cork."

905
00:49:33,074 --> 00:49:35,952
She told me
that he earned a living as a writer,

906
00:49:36,035 --> 00:49:38,413
that is to say
he's a journalist or a poet,

907
00:49:39,455 --> 00:49:44,127
and that he was interested
in stories about domestic violence.

908
00:49:47,255 --> 00:49:49,882
[Jean-Pierre] Sophie knew Bailey.
Bailey knew Sophie.

909
00:49:51,592 --> 00:49:54,762
The second point is Bailey's confessions.

910
00:49:55,972 --> 00:50:00,268
Bailey's confession to Malachi Reed,
to different people,

911
00:50:00,351 --> 00:50:02,228
"I did it. I did it"

912
00:50:02,311 --> 00:50:06,733
The third point is Bailey's timetable
during the night of the murder.

913
00:50:08,276 --> 00:50:12,363
He himself confessed that he went out
on the night of the murder.

914
00:50:12,947 --> 00:50:14,949
So no alibi for Bailey.

915
00:50:15,992 --> 00:50:18,578
The other point is, of course,

916
00:50:18,661 --> 00:50:21,664
the scratches
and the mark on the forehead.

917
00:50:23,499 --> 00:50:26,419
[Lara in English] I mean, all of that
is part of that faisceau de preuves.

918
00:50:26,502 --> 00:50:30,715
The French say
it's part of that bouquet of indications.

919
00:50:32,508 --> 00:50:35,386
When you put it all together,
it… it's pretty damning.

920
00:50:37,388 --> 00:50:39,307
[Barry] We came to a situation then

921
00:50:39,390 --> 00:50:44,312
that the French decided to proceed
with the trial of Ian Bailey in absentia.

922
00:50:45,354 --> 00:50:48,566
[in French] We had a trial
that we'd waited for 22, 23 years for.

923
00:50:49,233 --> 00:50:50,985
[suspenseful music plays]

924
00:50:53,863 --> 00:50:57,116
[in English] Tomorrow in Paris,
over 1,000 kilometres away,

925
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,662
Ian Bailey will be tried for the murder
in his absence under French law.

926
00:51:01,746 --> 00:51:05,917
Legally, it's unprecedented
in Franco-Irish relations.

927
00:51:07,919 --> 00:51:10,088
[Pierre-Louis in French]
Just before the trial in France,

928
00:51:10,171 --> 00:51:13,257
I wanted to go to Ireland
with my uncle, Bertrand,

929
00:51:13,341 --> 00:51:15,635
to explain what was happening

930
00:51:16,177 --> 00:51:19,055
to the local community.

931
00:51:21,307 --> 00:51:23,184
And why it was important for them

932
00:51:23,851 --> 00:51:25,353
that I was fighting

933
00:51:26,395 --> 00:51:28,147
for justice for my mother,

934
00:51:29,232 --> 00:51:32,568
to clear their land's name.

935
00:51:33,528 --> 00:51:35,863
This is a speech
that I read out in the church.

936
00:51:37,448 --> 00:51:39,784
[in English] "Dear friends, dear families,

937
00:51:40,409 --> 00:51:42,161
dear Irish people,

938
00:51:42,912 --> 00:51:44,205
in a few days' time,

939
00:51:44,288 --> 00:51:47,583
the trial of the man
accused of killing my mother

940
00:51:47,667 --> 00:51:48,960
will begin at last."

941
00:51:52,213 --> 00:51:54,715
"This is a trial of a crime

942
00:51:54,799 --> 00:51:56,134
that does not fit

943
00:51:57,051 --> 00:51:59,428
with what Ireland is like."

944
00:52:02,014 --> 00:52:03,683
"This is a trial of a crime

945
00:52:03,766 --> 00:52:06,936
that you and I didn't deserve."

946
00:52:09,188 --> 00:52:11,149
[suspenseful music plays]

947
00:52:14,527 --> 00:52:18,447
[in French]
I have fought like a dog for years.

948
00:52:20,533 --> 00:52:22,994
I've suffered for years.

949
00:52:23,786 --> 00:52:28,249
My conviction for the past 15 years

950
00:52:28,332 --> 00:52:31,252
is that everything points to Bailey.

951
00:52:31,878 --> 00:52:36,048
Everything, everything,
everything shows that it's Bailey.

952
00:52:36,883 --> 00:52:38,092
There's no question.

953
00:52:39,177 --> 00:52:41,179
[reporter 27 in English]
Pierre-Louis Baudey-Vignaud

954
00:52:41,262 --> 00:52:42,972
arriving at the criminal court of Paris

955
00:52:43,055 --> 00:52:45,308
where the man
accused of murdering his mother

956
00:52:45,391 --> 00:52:47,351
has gone on trial in absentia.

957
00:52:47,935 --> 00:52:49,270
There's no jury.

958
00:52:49,353 --> 00:52:52,440
The case will instead
be decided by three magistrates.

959
00:52:53,441 --> 00:52:54,942
I think it's bizarre.

960
00:52:55,026 --> 00:52:57,987
I mean, I interviewed Frank Buttimer
prior to that,

961
00:52:58,070 --> 00:53:00,907
and I said,
"Are you going to send anybody over?"

962
00:53:00,990 --> 00:53:03,451
He said, "Why should I?
He's going to be found guilty."

963
00:53:03,534 --> 00:53:06,454
[reporter 28] The lawyer
who has represented Ian Bailey

964
00:53:06,537 --> 00:53:10,166
for most of the past 23 years
since the murder

965
00:53:10,249 --> 00:53:13,461
has dismissed the proceedings as invalid.

966
00:53:13,544 --> 00:53:15,254
No, he doesn't… he doesn't recognise

967
00:53:15,338 --> 00:53:18,090
that the proceedings are,
in fact, valid or just.

968
00:53:18,174 --> 00:53:20,927
He will not be attending.
He will not be represented.

969
00:53:22,553 --> 00:53:24,680
[Pierre-Louis in French]
I won't let it go.

970
00:53:28,142 --> 00:53:29,560
I won't leave him alone.

971
00:53:31,979 --> 00:53:35,524
[in English] More than 30 witnesses
have been called to give evidence.

972
00:53:35,608 --> 00:53:40,404
[in French] I went to the trial,
and I was questioned as a witness.

973
00:53:40,905 --> 00:53:45,034
It was very difficult to go through,
very intimidating.

974
00:53:46,077 --> 00:53:49,789
I had to say that Sophie had spoken to me
about this man.

975
00:53:50,289 --> 00:53:51,874
That's what was important.

976
00:53:53,376 --> 00:53:57,713
[in English] It was all very intimidating,
but, um, it was the right thing to do.

977
00:53:58,839 --> 00:54:00,800
I can only do my little bit,

978
00:54:00,883 --> 00:54:03,135
and hopefully
if all those bits come together,

979
00:54:03,219 --> 00:54:05,346
then it will make a difference.

980
00:54:06,722 --> 00:54:09,267
My deposition was an important factor.

981
00:54:11,102 --> 00:54:13,354
Which, you know, made me,

982
00:54:13,437 --> 00:54:14,605
uh,

983
00:54:14,689 --> 00:54:16,983
made me feel
that I was doing the right thing,

984
00:54:17,066 --> 00:54:20,069
talking about it, finally,
being open about it.

985
00:54:21,279 --> 00:54:23,489
[in French] I think
that my witness statement

986
00:54:23,572 --> 00:54:29,203
and all the other witness statements
were useful for the outcome of the trial.

987
00:54:30,746 --> 00:54:33,082
[in English] It was quite nerve-wracking,
but I wanted to say

988
00:54:33,165 --> 00:54:35,459
what I've been holding
for the last 23 years.

989
00:54:35,543 --> 00:54:37,628
I want closure. This is all I want.

990
00:54:37,712 --> 00:54:39,922
That's all everybody wants
at the end of the day.

991
00:54:40,464 --> 00:54:44,969
They did consider that
Marie Farrell's testimony was legitimate,

992
00:54:45,052 --> 00:54:47,179
even though she had retracted it.

993
00:54:47,263 --> 00:54:51,100
I think the assumption in France
was that the initial testimony

994
00:54:51,183 --> 00:54:53,561
was probably the true testimony.

995
00:54:56,188 --> 00:54:57,773
[Bertrand in French] For the first time,

996
00:54:57,857 --> 00:55:00,776
it was people on the outside
of the subject who were judging.

997
00:55:00,860 --> 00:55:03,529
Everything we imagined,
all of our hypotheses

998
00:55:04,196 --> 00:55:07,950
laid out by the judges,
who are objective and professional.

999
00:55:08,659 --> 00:55:11,704
The last day, the verdict, of course,
was the most dramatic moment.

1000
00:55:14,123 --> 00:55:16,292
[camera shutters clicking]

1001
00:55:18,878 --> 00:55:22,089
[in French] After 22 years of waiting,

1002
00:55:23,174 --> 00:55:25,176
22 years of suffering,

1003
00:55:25,801 --> 00:55:27,511
22 years of questions,

1004
00:55:28,637 --> 00:55:31,057
the judges convicted Ian Bailey,

1005
00:55:31,599 --> 00:55:34,268
who killed my mother over 22 years ago,

1006
00:55:34,977 --> 00:55:36,312
to 25 years in prison.

1007
00:55:36,395 --> 00:55:38,981
Mr. Bailey was guilty.

1008
00:55:43,903 --> 00:55:44,779
[clicks tongue]

1009
00:55:44,862 --> 00:55:47,823
It's clear. Uh… He killed her.

1010
00:55:50,618 --> 00:55:51,702
The judge said it.

1011
00:55:52,244 --> 00:55:54,538
[indistinct chatter]

1012
00:55:56,624 --> 00:55:58,709
[reporter 29 in English]
Father Georges left the court

1013
00:55:58,793 --> 00:56:02,129
a short time after
Ian Bailey was convicted in absentia

1014
00:56:02,213 --> 00:56:06,258
and sentenced to 25 years in prison
for his daughter's murder.

1015
00:56:08,427 --> 00:56:11,055
-[camera shutters clicking]
-[journalists exclaiming]

1016
00:56:11,138 --> 00:56:12,681
[sombre music plays]

1017
00:56:18,896 --> 00:56:22,066
It was a very emotional moment,
certainly for the family.

1018
00:56:22,858 --> 00:56:25,403
[in French] It's a verdict.
It's the first verdict,

1019
00:56:26,612 --> 00:56:31,700
and I don't see
how Ireland could refuse to extradite him.

1020
00:56:31,784 --> 00:56:34,495
Now justice must be done.

1021
00:56:52,346 --> 00:56:55,558
This is the European arrest warrant,
and it's alleging that I am…

1022
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:57,560
guilty of…

1023
00:56:58,811 --> 00:57:02,064
wilful homicide
and serious assault and battery…

1024
00:57:02,898 --> 00:57:05,109
of Madame Toscan du Plantier.

1025
00:57:05,776 --> 00:57:09,447
Well, I now find myself in a situation
where I've been charged with murder

1026
00:57:09,947 --> 00:57:12,575
without having ever been
interviewed by the French.

1027
00:57:12,658 --> 00:57:15,661
This isn't the end of the matter.
I will be pursuing this.

1028
00:57:17,955 --> 00:57:19,415
Even if they do extradite me

1029
00:57:19,498 --> 00:57:22,751
and I finish up
rotting in some French prison,

1030
00:57:22,835 --> 00:57:26,338
all they will have achieved
is convicting an innocent man

1031
00:57:26,422 --> 00:57:28,299
of a crime he had nothing to do with.

1032
00:57:30,634 --> 00:57:33,429
[reporter 30] News that has broken
just a couple of hours ago

1033
00:57:33,512 --> 00:57:35,222
and that is that the High Court ruled

1034
00:57:35,306 --> 00:57:37,725
that Ian Bailey
cannot be extradited to France

1035
00:57:37,808 --> 00:57:40,102
to serve a 25-year prison sentence.

1036
00:57:41,270 --> 00:57:42,938
[Pierre-Louis] What happens next?

1037
00:57:44,231 --> 00:57:45,441
I don't know. [sighs]

1038
00:57:45,524 --> 00:57:46,692
[in French] I don't know.

1039
00:57:47,193 --> 00:57:49,862
If Bailey continues
to slip through the net,

1040
00:57:50,613 --> 00:57:54,533
I assure you I will make sure
the net comes down on Bailey.

1041
00:57:59,914 --> 00:58:02,583
[Marie-Madeleine] He was convicted
in France. Now I don't understand

1042
00:58:02,666 --> 00:58:05,211
why this man is walking around in Ireland.

1043
00:58:05,836 --> 00:58:08,672
Can you explain to me
why this man is free?

1044
00:58:09,548 --> 00:58:13,302
[in English] I'm writing a poem which
I'm trying to get committed to memory.

1045
00:58:14,512 --> 00:58:15,721
Um…

1046
00:58:15,804 --> 00:58:18,891
If I write it down repeatedly
and I recite it, it…

1047
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,352
It… Eventually, it sticks.

1048
00:58:22,895 --> 00:58:23,812
[Paul] He's aging.

1049
00:58:24,563 --> 00:58:25,648
He's slowing down.

1050
00:58:26,232 --> 00:58:27,900
He's got a lot on his mind.

1051
00:58:27,983 --> 00:58:31,904
He's carried this with him
for the past 20-odd years.

1052
00:58:32,863 --> 00:58:34,240
And he's carried it

1053
00:58:34,323 --> 00:58:36,659
whether he's innocent
or whether he's guilty.

1054
00:58:38,327 --> 00:58:39,828
If he is innocent,

1055
00:58:39,912 --> 00:58:45,000
he's been basically persecuted
for the past 23 years.

1056
00:58:46,919 --> 00:58:50,631
[Len] His life, it can't be normal.
He knows people are avoiding him.

1057
00:58:50,714 --> 00:58:53,300
He knows
that people aren't talking to him.

1058
00:58:53,384 --> 00:58:54,510
It's not right.

1059
00:58:54,593 --> 00:58:57,304
I think
he's been convicted on his personality.

1060
00:59:00,516 --> 00:59:04,395
[Wassell] Maybe in other parts of Ireland,
neighbours would have harrowed him,

1061
00:59:04,478 --> 00:59:06,146
and he would have had to leave,

1062
00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:08,315
but the fact
that he's still there, I think,

1063
00:59:08,399 --> 00:59:13,195
indicates how, uh, tolerant
his neighbours were even after the murder.

1064
00:59:14,029 --> 00:59:16,865
But it's tremendous trauma
for the community.

1065
00:59:19,618 --> 00:59:21,787
[Irune] Well, I very rarely go to a market

1066
00:59:22,288 --> 00:59:23,622
for obvious reasons.

1067
00:59:23,706 --> 00:59:25,874
And this is 20 years later.

1068
00:59:27,543 --> 00:59:29,712
[Ian] I'm good.
I'm just writing a new poem.

1069
00:59:30,462 --> 00:59:32,214
[Irune] For me, it doesn't sit well

1070
00:59:32,298 --> 00:59:34,133
that this person… [inhales sharply]

1071
00:59:34,216 --> 00:59:35,676
…can cause so much pain

1072
00:59:35,759 --> 00:59:37,845
and just…

1073
00:59:39,513 --> 00:59:41,390
carries on skipping on by.

1074
00:59:43,434 --> 00:59:46,687
So I wrote this last week,
and this is the second draft.

1075
00:59:47,646 --> 00:59:49,523
I thought I had a handle on it

1076
00:59:50,024 --> 00:59:51,400
I thought I'd seen it all

1077
00:59:51,483 --> 00:59:53,485
But something very strange has happened

1078
00:59:53,569 --> 00:59:55,738
And the handle's fallen off the door…

1079
00:59:55,821 --> 00:59:58,741
[Pierre-Louis in French]
I've seen Bailey at least twice.

1080
00:59:59,742 --> 01:00:01,452
He recognised me one time.

1081
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,664
He's convinced himself of his story,

1082
01:00:06,624 --> 01:00:07,916
but…

1083
01:00:08,584 --> 01:00:11,962
I have no empathy. None.

1084
01:00:14,423 --> 01:00:18,969
Just the feeling of having seen a void.

1085
01:00:20,262 --> 01:00:21,263
Nothingness.

1086
01:00:23,098 --> 01:00:25,726
[in English] It's never got out of my mind

1087
01:00:25,809 --> 01:00:28,312
because there's something
every day in the paper.

1088
01:00:28,395 --> 01:00:31,440
There's courts coming up.
There's appeals coming up.

1089
01:00:31,523 --> 01:00:33,233
It becomes part of your life.

1090
01:00:34,777 --> 01:00:37,529
But I do feel sorry
for her father and mother.

1091
01:00:38,030 --> 01:00:40,157
How did they live since it happened?

1092
01:00:40,824 --> 01:00:42,534
She was their pride and joy.

1093
01:00:43,577 --> 01:00:45,537
Everything that they were living for.

1094
01:00:46,038 --> 01:00:49,291
[in French] What bothers me is
that he hasn't confessed.

1095
01:00:51,085 --> 01:00:54,880
You would feel that justice had been done
if he confessed though?

1096
01:00:54,963 --> 01:00:55,923
[Georges] Right.

1097
01:00:56,965 --> 01:00:58,967
Marguerite is convinced it's him.

1098
01:01:00,844 --> 01:01:02,846
But would it bring peace?

1099
01:01:03,639 --> 01:01:06,642
You don't get justice
when it's the death of your daughter.

1100
01:01:06,725 --> 01:01:08,352
[inhales sharply] No.

1101
01:01:12,773 --> 01:01:15,150
[Pierre-Louis] The house in Ireland,
for me, is the only place

1102
01:01:15,234 --> 01:01:18,570
I would go with my mother
and where I still go today.

1103
01:01:26,537 --> 01:01:27,996
It's like going to see her.

1104
01:01:32,292 --> 01:01:36,338
It's like going
to stay with her every time.

1105
01:01:40,217 --> 01:01:41,635
[Sophie speaking French]

1106
01:01:44,096 --> 01:01:47,474
[Pierre-Louis]
My mother is very present in this house.

1107
01:01:49,101 --> 01:01:51,061
[Sophie] Look how white the hail is.

1108
01:01:53,188 --> 01:01:54,565
[Pierre-Louis] She is very present.

1109
01:02:28,348 --> 01:02:29,767
[Irish folk music plays]
