00:00Will the defendant please stand.
00:03Kempton Bunton, you were charged that on the 21st of March 1961,
00:08you stole from the National Gallery
00:11a priceless portrait of the Duke of Wellington
00:14by Francisco José de Goya.
00:20Not very good, is it?
00:24We're convinced that the Goya has been stolen
00:26by a highly professional international criminal gang.
00:30Mind your bloomers!
00:31Almost certainly a trained commando.
00:34You alright?
00:35Bit of biscuit.
00:37One problem.
00:38What's that?
00:39Your mother.
00:40I can explain.
00:42I'm shaken.
00:43It's the shock.
00:44Shock, yes, I'm shocked there's a stolen masterpiece in my wardrobe.
00:48What's he actually asking for?
00:50£140,000.
00:52For what?
00:53Charity.
00:54Good grief.
00:55I'm living with a madman.
00:57I'm tackling social injustice.
00:59Robin Hood.
01:00You're an idiot.
01:01The taxpayer paid for that painting.
01:03They could have given thousands to war widows and pensioners.
01:07It's for the greater good of mankind.
01:09Mankind? What about your own kind?
01:15How long will you get?
01:16I don't know.
01:18Ten years.
01:19You could have told me.
01:20We could have dealt with it together.
01:23You married Jan?
01:24I had to marry.
01:25Had to marry?
01:27It was love.
01:30He is not a thief.
01:32He borrowed your goya to do a bit of good in this world.
01:45You campaign for pensioners and war veterans.
01:49Every time someone gets cut off from the rest of us,
01:52this country becomes a foot shorter.
01:55All my life I've looked out for other people and got into trouble for it.
01:58But I had faith.
02:01Not in God, but in people.
02:06How do you plead?
02:07Not guilty.
02:08Yes!
02:09For those unfamiliar with court proceedings, that was the plea, not the verdict.
