Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,653 --> 00:00:03,350
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:03,351 --> 00:00:05,613
the people are represented
by two separate
3
00:00:05,614 --> 00:00:07,310
yet equally important groups.
4
00:00:07,311 --> 00:00:09,313
The police,
who investigate crime,
5
00:00:09,748 --> 00:00:12,490
and the Crown Prosecutors,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:12,751 --> 00:00:14,057
These are their stories.
7
00:00:18,235 --> 00:00:21,107
There is a belief that HRT helps
prevent Alzheimer's as well.
8
00:00:21,108 --> 00:00:24,328
But I want to forget
that I'm old and menopausal.
9
00:00:24,763 --> 00:00:27,983
- Your 4:30 is waiting.
- Uh, could you schedule
10
00:00:27,984 --> 00:00:29,724
an ultrasound
for uterine anomalies
11
00:00:29,725 --> 00:00:32,074
- for Miss Browning, please?
- Sure. When are you free?
12
00:00:32,075 --> 00:00:34,730
All the time, dear. But this one
never takes the hint.
13
00:00:36,123 --> 00:00:38,038
- Bye, Sandy.
- Bye.
14
00:00:39,691 --> 00:00:43,086
- Next week?
- Yes. Tuesday?
15
00:00:43,347 --> 00:00:46,828
Sorry about that. Some patients
won't stop talking.
16
00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:50,266
- How are you?
- Okay. I've brought the chart
17
00:00:50,267 --> 00:00:51,616
- that you gave me.
- Thanks.
18
00:00:53,618 --> 00:00:55,229
Last period ended Saturday?
19
00:00:57,274 --> 00:00:58,406
Pretty sporadic.
20
00:00:59,624 --> 00:01:00,973
Cramps still abnormal?
21
00:01:01,452 --> 00:01:03,585
Yeah. It never used to
be like this.
22
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,197
All right. Lie down.
I'll have a look.
23
00:01:31,047 --> 00:01:32,614
If you could just move
a little closer.
24
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:40,100
It's a nice perfume.
25
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:42,145
Thanks.
26
00:01:44,626 --> 00:01:46,323
You're tensing. Try and relax.
27
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:52,286
How does that feel?
28
00:01:54,157 --> 00:01:55,027
It's fine.
29
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:02,122
It should feel good.
30
00:02:05,734 --> 00:02:06,691
Oh, yes.
31
00:02:07,475 --> 00:02:08,519
What are you doing?
32
00:02:10,042 --> 00:02:11,087
Right there.
33
00:02:11,609 --> 00:02:13,829
What the hell?
You were touching me up.
34
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:17,048
I don't wish to alarm you,
Alesha.
35
00:02:17,049 --> 00:02:19,225
But I'd like to bring you back
for a CT scan,
36
00:02:19,226 --> 00:02:21,141
and a possible needle biopsy.
37
00:02:21,576 --> 00:02:23,054
To rule out metastases.
38
00:02:23,055 --> 00:02:24,013
Cancer?
39
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:27,495
It's just a precaution.
That's all. Don't worry.
40
00:02:28,235 --> 00:02:30,105
Worst case scenario,
women under 30
41
00:02:30,106 --> 00:02:32,021
have a far better chance
of recovery.
42
00:02:33,849 --> 00:02:34,763
Right.
43
00:02:35,198 --> 00:02:36,721
Well, I'll let you get dressed.
44
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:34,910
He just fronted it out.
45
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:39,480
Then he brought up cancer.
46
00:03:41,003 --> 00:03:42,439
- What?
- To intimidate me.
47
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:44,876
Don't go planning my funeral
just yet.
48
00:03:45,312 --> 00:03:48,750
So his line will be,
he was just doing his job?
49
00:03:49,968 --> 00:03:52,318
I know the difference between
being examined
50
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:53,276
and being assaulted.
51
00:03:59,848 --> 00:04:01,327
Unless you don't believe me.
52
00:04:01,328 --> 00:04:04,156
Ah! Don't be daft.
Course we believe you.
53
00:04:05,027 --> 00:04:06,811
We're on your side, okay?
54
00:04:07,986 --> 00:04:09,552
It's gonna be hard to prove.
55
00:04:09,553 --> 00:04:12,426
Hey. Never stopped us before.
56
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:15,819
I ain't having some ponced up
Harley Street doctor
57
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:17,212
thinking he can get away
with this.
58
00:04:17,213 --> 00:04:19,170
He didn't just assault Alesha,
he threatened her,
59
00:04:19,171 --> 00:04:20,607
- abused his position.
- Look, there's--
60
00:04:20,608 --> 00:04:23,349
There is no such thing
as a one-time sex-offender.
61
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:25,221
He's got to have done it
to other women.
62
00:04:26,222 --> 00:04:28,658
Why don't you get down
to the GMC, see if anyone else
63
00:04:28,659 --> 00:04:30,661
has complained,
and track them down?
64
00:04:32,794 --> 00:04:34,316
We're looking
for any complaints
65
00:04:34,317 --> 00:04:37,450
- against a Dr. Alec Merrick.
- They're kept confidential
66
00:04:37,451 --> 00:04:39,495
unless disciplinary action
was taken.
67
00:04:39,496 --> 00:04:43,674
Of all the days not to mess us
around, sir, this is the one.
68
00:04:53,989 --> 00:04:55,946
The only patients
complaining here
69
00:04:55,947 --> 00:04:57,949
are the ones that are still
on his waiting list.
70
00:04:58,602 --> 00:05:00,647
Consultant position
at only the best hospitals
71
00:05:00,648 --> 00:05:04,869
- in the city.
- Hospitals? How many exactly?
72
00:05:06,088 --> 00:05:08,612
2007 to present. Millbank.
73
00:05:09,221 --> 00:05:11,702
2006-2007, Royal Ludgate.
74
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:15,706
2004-2006, Waterloo City.
75
00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:17,751
Itchy feet.
76
00:05:17,752 --> 00:05:20,624
You're telling me.
Position is usually permanent.
77
00:05:22,234 --> 00:05:23,975
Talk about being head-hunted.
78
00:05:24,715 --> 00:05:28,370
- Head-hunted, my arse.
- Well, look at his credentials.
79
00:05:28,371 --> 00:05:29,938
He's obviously
highly thought-of.
80
00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:33,288
Well, if he was
that highly thought-of,
81
00:05:33,289 --> 00:05:35,856
why would the hospital
let him go without a fight?
82
00:05:35,857 --> 00:05:38,338
Unless, of course,
he'd screwed up in some way.
83
00:05:38,773 --> 00:05:41,079
It was
an administrative decision.
84
00:05:41,428 --> 00:05:42,993
His or yours?
85
00:05:42,994 --> 00:05:45,561
Dr. Merrick lives
in Hampstead. We're in Tooting.
86
00:05:45,562 --> 00:05:47,521
Maybe he wasn't happy
about the commute.
87
00:05:49,174 --> 00:05:51,611
Dr. Dyer, you were his head
of department.
88
00:05:51,612 --> 00:05:53,569
Surely, you would know. I mean,
89
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:57,443
if one of my top men had quit,
I'd need to know exactly why.
90
00:05:57,444 --> 00:06:00,185
Dr. Merrick runs
a fine practice.
91
00:06:01,752 --> 00:06:05,060
Whatever you're thinking,
I assure you, you're wrong.
92
00:06:12,894 --> 00:06:14,373
What-- Hang on.
What have we got?
93
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:16,070
There's no point
in talking to the doctors,
94
00:06:16,071 --> 00:06:17,593
'cause they ain't gonna
tell us anything, are they?
95
00:06:17,594 --> 00:06:18,812
I know. I know.
96
00:06:18,813 --> 00:06:20,640
But we can't just give up.
This is Alesha
97
00:06:20,641 --> 00:06:22,033
- we're talking about.
- I know it's Alesha.
98
00:06:24,209 --> 00:06:26,297
Why don't we get the financial
investigations unit
99
00:06:26,298 --> 00:06:28,561
to have a shifty
at Merrick's bank statements,
100
00:06:28,562 --> 00:06:30,214
have a look at them, and see
who stopped paying
101
00:06:30,215 --> 00:06:32,696
- during that time?
- Genius.
102
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:37,874
Do you know what?
I don't see us
103
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:39,572
getting anywhere with this,
even if we do find a way
104
00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:42,663
to prove it. What happened
was so subtle...
105
00:06:43,881 --> 00:06:46,143
people would wonder if it was
that big a deal. You know?
106
00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:47,537
I don't believe
I'm hearing this.
107
00:06:49,017 --> 00:06:51,366
Matt. If it was any other woman,
you would say
108
00:06:51,367 --> 00:06:52,628
- the same.
- It's not any other woman.
109
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:53,761
- It's Alesha.
- Okay.
110
00:06:55,327 --> 00:06:57,155
There's no need to have a go
at me, is there? All right?
111
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,549
Have you spoken to her
about it yet?
112
00:07:00,811 --> 00:07:03,031
No. I'm waiting
to give her some good news.
113
00:07:03,727 --> 00:07:04,424
Right.
114
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,164
Here you are, though.
115
00:07:07,035 --> 00:07:08,036
Laura Todd.
116
00:07:08,863 --> 00:07:11,430
Three times a year
for three years.
117
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,520
I can't find anything
after July.
118
00:07:15,522 --> 00:07:18,349
And I have Diane Perkins.
119
00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:21,571
Three payments in September,
then they stop.
120
00:07:22,572 --> 00:07:25,705
Yeah, yeah. Donna Miller, too.
She's all over these statements.
121
00:07:25,706 --> 00:07:29,274
I can't find anything after...
April.
122
00:07:35,672 --> 00:07:39,370
We know you stopped
seeing Dr. Merrick in April.
123
00:07:39,371 --> 00:07:40,634
I didn't, actually.
124
00:07:42,549 --> 00:07:44,115
But you stopped paying him
in April.
125
00:07:45,726 --> 00:07:47,684
Oh! You mean as a patient. Yes.
126
00:07:48,685 --> 00:07:51,383
- Uh, I'm a bit confused.
- We had a thing.
127
00:07:51,645 --> 00:07:53,603
He kept his hand in,
so to speak.
128
00:07:53,908 --> 00:07:55,562
It ended a few months back now.
129
00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:57,825
But it started
while you were his patient?
130
00:07:58,434 --> 00:07:59,870
Love in the stirrups.
131
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:05,354
And, uh, did he take advantage
of you at all?
132
00:08:05,963 --> 00:08:07,138
Thank God.
133
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,837
That man is hot.
134
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:13,187
We played Doctors and Nurses
for a while. What's the problem?
135
00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:14,885
It was fun until, well,
you know.
136
00:08:15,277 --> 00:08:16,496
We don't, actually.
137
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:21,326
I got tired of his routine.
138
00:08:24,286 --> 00:08:26,027
Where do you keep your cuffs?
139
00:08:28,856 --> 00:08:29,770
Excuse me.
140
00:08:30,553 --> 00:08:31,511
Donna Miller.
141
00:08:36,428 --> 00:08:38,952
Hitting on his patients
while they are vulnerable.
142
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:40,694
Vulnerable? Her? Do me a favour.
143
00:08:41,259 --> 00:08:42,999
She'd cut your knackers off,
spray 'em gold
144
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,176
and flog 'em as baubles
for £90 a pop.
145
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,570
Right, so who's next
on the list, then?
146
00:08:49,267 --> 00:08:50,747
Diane Perkins.
147
00:08:53,054 --> 00:08:55,446
Diane,
our records show us
148
00:08:55,447 --> 00:08:57,493
that you saw Alec Merrick,
149
00:08:58,059 --> 00:09:00,103
he's a gynecologist
in Harley Street,
150
00:09:00,104 --> 00:09:01,671
three times in September.
151
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:03,455
Four actually.
152
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:05,762
Someone lent me the money.
153
00:09:08,199 --> 00:09:09,549
Why did you stop going?
154
00:09:09,853 --> 00:09:11,333
Dr. Merrick
couldn't help me.
155
00:09:13,291 --> 00:09:15,467
I don't really want to say
what the matter was.
156
00:09:15,772 --> 00:09:16,991
No, of course not.
157
00:09:17,948 --> 00:09:19,775
How was he towards you, then?
158
00:09:19,776 --> 00:09:22,039
Great.
He was really kind.
159
00:09:22,736 --> 00:09:24,519
Didn't even charge me
for my full session
160
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,565
'cause he couldn't help me.
161
00:09:30,091 --> 00:09:31,396
Let's turn this off.
162
00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:40,231
Diane, what are those marks
on your arm?
163
00:09:42,886 --> 00:09:44,496
I suffer from depression.
164
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,238
I have done since uni.
165
00:09:48,239 --> 00:09:50,372
I had a bad day again
a few months back.
166
00:09:51,155 --> 00:09:52,809
Life got a bit much.
167
00:09:55,986 --> 00:09:57,901
It's my head that's messed up,
you see.
168
00:09:59,642 --> 00:10:00,687
Not my body.
169
00:10:02,471 --> 00:10:04,733
Mate, we can't ignore the fact
that she slit her wrists
170
00:10:04,734 --> 00:10:06,300
after seeing Merrick.
171
00:10:06,301 --> 00:10:08,345
Yeah, but it means nothing,
Matt, 'cause like she said,
172
00:10:08,346 --> 00:10:10,434
she's been doing that
since she was at uni.
173
00:10:10,435 --> 00:10:12,568
I mean, the poor girl is sick.
She's ill.
174
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,439
Anyway, if Alesha is anything
to go by,
175
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,704
Alec Merrick likes them strong.
He likes a challenge.
176
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:21,098
Third time lucky. Laura Todd.
177
00:10:26,538 --> 00:10:28,017
But you were pregnant
at the time,
178
00:10:28,018 --> 00:10:29,889
so, why change your doctor?
179
00:10:29,890 --> 00:10:32,588
There was no way Dr. Merrick
was getting at me again.
180
00:10:33,023 --> 00:10:34,458
And why is that?
181
00:10:34,459 --> 00:10:36,548
He performed laser surgery on me
without anesthesia.
182
00:10:36,766 --> 00:10:39,334
- Ouch.
- That's the polite version.
183
00:10:40,727 --> 00:10:43,337
Did he explain the procedures
to you beforehand?
184
00:10:43,338 --> 00:10:44,121
Yes.
185
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:46,688
He was going to use
the laser treatment
186
00:10:46,689 --> 00:10:48,648
to burn off some cysts.
187
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:52,259
He didn't say he was gonna do it
without putting me under.
188
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:54,348
Did you report this to anyone
at the time?
189
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:57,526
I had the GMC complaints
department on speed dial.
190
00:10:58,527 --> 00:11:00,660
They told me
everything was by the book.
191
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:03,140
Simply the doctor's choice.
192
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,841
I was in so much pain.
193
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:11,409
I kept screaming.
194
00:11:13,237 --> 00:11:14,674
Begging him to stop.
195
00:11:15,762 --> 00:11:16,936
He didn't bat an eyelid.
196
00:11:16,937 --> 00:11:19,026
Just kept watching me,
the whole time.
197
00:11:20,767 --> 00:11:23,334
Every now and then, he'd say,
"Good girl."
198
00:11:28,078 --> 00:11:29,689
That man is a sadist.
199
00:11:31,342 --> 00:11:32,822
He needs to be locked up.
200
00:11:33,736 --> 00:11:35,477
No woman is safe in his care.
201
00:11:39,524 --> 00:11:41,177
We spoke
to the investigation officer
202
00:11:41,178 --> 00:11:42,962
at the GMC. He reckons they took
203
00:11:42,963 --> 00:11:45,399
Laura Todd's complaint
very seriously,
204
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,403
and concluded that Dr. Merrick
had done nothing wrong.
205
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:51,492
He said, uh, "Laura Todd
had suffered prolonged numbness
206
00:11:51,493 --> 00:11:53,755
as a result of anesthesia
once before.
207
00:11:53,756 --> 00:11:55,235
Dr. Merrick had mother
and baby's
208
00:11:55,236 --> 00:11:56,802
best interests at heart."
209
00:11:56,803 --> 00:11:58,891
Yeah, although Laura Todd
did say
210
00:11:58,892 --> 00:12:01,632
that Merrick had not told her,
prior to the operation,
211
00:12:01,633 --> 00:12:05,159
- she wouldn't be anesthetized.
- Except Dr. Merrick says he did.
212
00:12:06,073 --> 00:12:07,856
Two people in the room,
one an eminent doctor,
213
00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:10,860
the other
a hysterical pregnant woman.
214
00:12:11,469 --> 00:12:12,732
Who are they going to believe?
215
00:12:13,384 --> 00:12:15,385
There's got to be something.
Has he been sued?
216
00:12:15,386 --> 00:12:16,736
Uh, no. We checked.
217
00:12:18,085 --> 00:12:21,130
I hate to have to say this,
but we've reached
218
00:12:21,131 --> 00:12:24,264
the end of the road on this one.
Unless we can prove
219
00:12:24,265 --> 00:12:26,876
he's a danger to his patients,
we've got nothing.
220
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:29,749
Maybe we can.
221
00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:34,709
Yes. Alec was experimental.
222
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:36,319
That's one of the things
I liked about him.
223
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,670
- What about S&M?
- Are you offering?
224
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:40,672
He got me into it.
225
00:12:41,325 --> 00:12:43,023
Don't knock it till you try it.
226
00:12:44,154 --> 00:12:45,938
You say, your relationship
started when you were
227
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:48,157
- still his patient.
- What has Alec done?
228
00:12:48,158 --> 00:12:51,030
Was there a time when you wanted
to stop but felt you couldn't?
229
00:12:51,031 --> 00:12:52,510
That's all part of the fun.
230
00:12:52,859 --> 00:12:55,209
Okay. Do you feel he abused you
at all?
231
00:12:55,557 --> 00:12:56,992
Oh, please. Look,
232
00:12:56,993 --> 00:12:59,779
Alec is a good man
with some very bad habits.
233
00:13:00,257 --> 00:13:02,737
There's a lot of pressure on him
in the outside world.
234
00:13:02,738 --> 00:13:04,608
Pioneering treatments
for infertile women.
235
00:13:04,609 --> 00:13:06,394
Raising money for rape victims.
236
00:13:06,655 --> 00:13:08,657
What he did with me
was an outlet.
237
00:13:08,918 --> 00:13:10,137
So, why did you end it?
238
00:13:15,316 --> 00:13:17,492
Nothing turned Alec on more
than fear.
239
00:13:17,927 --> 00:13:20,625
When I stopped being scared,
he wanted to take it further.
240
00:13:22,932 --> 00:13:25,804
- How much further?
- Did he want to torture you?
241
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,109
I don't mind ropes at all.
242
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:29,025
Just not around my neck.
243
00:13:29,896 --> 00:13:32,420
Anyway, it seemed creepy
after what happened to his wife.
244
00:13:35,553 --> 00:13:38,729
Dr. Merrick's wife
Tessa Merrick hanged herself
245
00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:40,949
five years ago from a beam
above their bed.
246
00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:41,995
And she left a note.
247
00:13:43,518 --> 00:13:45,085
"You can't hurt me anymore.
Love does not equal pain."
248
00:13:47,087 --> 00:13:49,785
It says here she had a history
of mental illness.
249
00:13:50,525 --> 00:13:52,656
Well, yeah.
But does that even matter
250
00:13:52,657 --> 00:13:53,875
if he was torturing her?
251
00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:55,225
Have we got proof
of that?
252
00:13:56,792 --> 00:13:59,098
He's a pervert. He tied a rope
around Donna Miller's neck
253
00:13:59,099 --> 00:14:00,447
because it turned him on.
254
00:14:00,448 --> 00:14:03,929
But he stopped
when she asked him to, Matt.
255
00:14:03,930 --> 00:14:06,323
And everything else they did
was consensual.
256
00:14:06,715 --> 00:14:10,371
So he moved on to Laura Todd,
to easier prey.
257
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:13,721
And God only knows what he did
to poor Diane Perkins,
258
00:14:13,722 --> 00:14:15,550
who also tried to kill herself.
259
00:14:16,594 --> 00:14:18,857
This is a doctor who likes
to hurt people.
260
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,641
Am I the only one
making connections here?
261
00:14:20,642 --> 00:14:22,382
We're all seeing the links,
Matt. We all know
262
00:14:22,383 --> 00:14:24,080
he's a nasty piece of work.
263
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:28,563
But we also know Diane Perkins
hasn't made any allegations.
264
00:14:28,824 --> 00:14:31,304
And Laura Todd's complaint
was not proven.
265
00:14:31,305 --> 00:14:32,828
And what about Alesha?
266
00:14:35,831 --> 00:14:38,267
I thought, I thought
you'd understand. As a woman...
267
00:14:38,268 --> 00:14:40,966
As a woman, I'd like to cut off
his dick with a rusty hacksaw
268
00:14:40,967 --> 00:14:42,446
and ram it down his throat.
269
00:14:43,056 --> 00:14:46,623
As your boss, I suggest you take
what you have got to Steel
270
00:14:46,624 --> 00:14:47,799
and see what he says.
271
00:14:54,545 --> 00:14:56,895
- There isn't enough.
- No, but--
272
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:58,984
If there's no real evidence here
273
00:14:58,985 --> 00:15:01,595
his wife's suicide is irrelevant
274
00:15:01,596 --> 00:15:03,902
and the rest is inadmissible.
275
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,294
But, look at the history.
276
00:15:05,295 --> 00:15:09,082
It's bad, yes. But a judge
won't allow any of it.
277
00:15:09,778 --> 00:15:11,474
It's got nothing to do
with what Dr. Merrick
278
00:15:11,475 --> 00:15:12,912
allegedly did to Alesha.
279
00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:15,827
What's going on?
280
00:15:20,745 --> 00:15:22,225
We don't have enough of a case.
281
00:15:24,706 --> 00:15:26,576
I'm sorry. No other women
have come forward.
282
00:15:26,577 --> 00:15:28,796
They're probably too scared
to speak out.
283
00:15:28,797 --> 00:15:30,277
Which is what he relies on.
284
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:32,801
He'll do it again.
He won't stop.
285
00:15:33,802 --> 00:15:35,237
And what if he goes further
next time?
286
00:15:35,238 --> 00:15:37,065
- Alesha.
- What if he already has?
287
00:15:37,066 --> 00:15:39,721
- If no one speaks out--
- James, I spoke out!
288
00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:43,116
All I have is your word
against his.
289
00:15:44,595 --> 00:15:46,249
- There's his reputation.
- Oh!
290
00:15:47,076 --> 00:15:48,511
Why would a Harley Street doctor
291
00:15:48,512 --> 00:15:50,340
want to touch up
a black girl from Hackney?
292
00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:53,125
- You're making this personal.
- It is personal, James!
293
00:15:53,126 --> 00:15:54,517
I was the one lying there!
294
00:15:54,518 --> 00:15:56,955
- I am as angry as you are.
- Trust me, you're not!
295
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:59,609
- I want to help you.
- Then, do something.
296
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:00,960
We don't stand a chance.
297
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:10,447
What kind of message
are we sending out here?
298
00:16:11,535 --> 00:16:13,884
"Guess what, ladies.
You're just not worth the risk."
299
00:16:13,885 --> 00:16:15,017
Alesha, please.
300
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:19,195
It's not just about me, James.
It's about everyone else.
301
00:16:19,891 --> 00:16:21,371
There's nothing I can do.
302
00:16:55,797 --> 00:16:57,103
You feeling okay?
303
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,714
- Just a bit nervous.
- Oh, there's no need to be.
304
00:17:00,671 --> 00:17:02,978
Okay, if you could just hop up
on to the table for me.
305
00:17:13,641 --> 00:17:15,599
- I've had some.
- Have some more.
306
00:17:16,948 --> 00:17:19,603
It helps to show up
any problem areas with the scan.
307
00:17:32,921 --> 00:17:34,183
Here's the lignocaine.
308
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,796
Before we start, would you like
Nurse Gregory to stay?
309
00:17:39,362 --> 00:17:40,581
You do have that option.
310
00:17:44,715 --> 00:17:47,022
No. No, it's okay.
311
00:17:49,155 --> 00:17:50,417
Then, I will see you tomorrow.
312
00:17:50,678 --> 00:17:51,592
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
313
00:17:55,422 --> 00:17:57,162
You're no good to me up there,
I'm afraid.
314
00:17:57,163 --> 00:17:58,338
You gonna have to lie down.
315
00:18:06,998 --> 00:18:08,174
I feel weird.
316
00:18:09,610 --> 00:18:10,828
Relax.
317
00:18:11,481 --> 00:18:13,396
The odds are, you won't feel
a thing.
318
00:18:17,748 --> 00:18:18,706
Alesha.
319
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:22,753
Have some more water.
320
00:18:37,899 --> 00:18:38,813
Good girl.
321
00:18:41,555 --> 00:18:42,556
You ready?
322
00:18:45,341 --> 00:18:46,342
No...
323
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:49,258
You came back.
324
00:18:56,483 --> 00:18:57,613
She called the office
325
00:18:57,614 --> 00:18:59,224
and asked us to get over
straight away.
326
00:18:59,225 --> 00:19:00,399
So, what's happened?
327
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,097
She said she's been drugged
and raped.
328
00:19:02,576 --> 00:19:04,490
I took a urine sample
straight away.
329
00:19:04,491 --> 00:19:07,623
The doctor who examined her
said there was penetration
330
00:19:07,624 --> 00:19:08,756
and ejaculation.
331
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:11,236
No wounds, but lots
of heavy bruising.
332
00:19:11,237 --> 00:19:13,848
Finger marks on her thighs.
She's in here.
333
00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:18,721
- Where did it happen?
- Harley Street.
334
00:19:18,722 --> 00:19:20,985
- Merrick.
- That was the name she gave me.
335
00:19:21,508 --> 00:19:22,552
Right.
336
00:19:23,771 --> 00:19:26,948
Matt, why don't you go
and see her?
337
00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:28,558
You're her mate.
338
00:19:47,534 --> 00:19:48,491
How are you?
339
00:19:49,492 --> 00:19:51,146
I've had better days.
340
00:19:54,105 --> 00:19:56,369
At least, now we can lock
the bastard up.
341
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:02,418
He drugged me, Matt.
342
00:20:04,464 --> 00:20:08,946
It must have been Rohypnol
or GHB. I don't know.
343
00:20:11,253 --> 00:20:13,950
But he kept plying me with water
in his office,
344
00:20:13,951 --> 00:20:15,170
and then in the room.
345
00:20:26,529 --> 00:20:29,184
Why did you go back
after what he already did?
346
00:20:31,795 --> 00:20:33,623
Someone had to stop him.
347
00:20:36,322 --> 00:20:38,628
I didn't expect him to rape me.
348
00:20:39,803 --> 00:20:41,501
It hurt like hell.
349
00:20:43,938 --> 00:20:45,679
He kept talking.
350
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:48,508
I couldn't do anything.
351
00:20:55,776 --> 00:21:00,128
You know? Like in a nightmare
when you can't move or scream.
352
00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:14,708
It's okay.
353
00:21:16,884 --> 00:21:19,364
Whatever romantic details
I've forgotten,
354
00:21:19,365 --> 00:21:20,322
should be on this.
355
00:21:22,237 --> 00:21:23,194
You filmed it?
356
00:21:26,589 --> 00:21:27,895
Hid it in my bag.
357
00:21:29,505 --> 00:21:31,377
It's not my word against his
anymore.
358
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,512
I won't be a victim, Matt.
359
00:21:37,948 --> 00:21:39,819
This is what you want,
isn't it?
360
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:41,387
No! Stop!
361
00:21:41,822 --> 00:21:44,345
You begged me to do this
to you.
362
00:21:44,346 --> 00:21:46,261
- Stop! Please!
- Horny little slut.
363
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:49,959
Dirty little black bitch.
364
00:21:56,576 --> 00:21:59,230
There now.
Didn't that feel good?
365
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,065
Did you speak to Merrick?
366
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:11,416
Um, no. He had the morning off.
367
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:12,983
Although, we did speak
to the nurse.
368
00:22:13,636 --> 00:22:15,376
She went straight home
369
00:22:15,377 --> 00:22:17,813
after leaving
the examination room.
370
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:20,426
She's an agency nurse.
She's been with him a month.
371
00:22:20,861 --> 00:22:22,644
Had no idea this was going on, obviously.
372
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:23,907
What about the rest
of his staff?
373
00:22:24,517 --> 00:22:26,997
Well, they think the world
of him.
374
00:22:27,911 --> 00:22:30,000
Forensics found no trace
of semen.
375
00:22:30,653 --> 00:22:31,567
He'd cleaned up.
376
00:22:33,047 --> 00:22:34,657
We're now waiting to see
if there's any traces of drugs
377
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:36,442
in Alesha's samples.
378
00:22:36,703 --> 00:22:37,878
They'd better find something.
379
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:41,315
We've got all the evidence
on the tape, though.
380
00:22:41,316 --> 00:22:42,186
Not really.
381
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:46,146
Case is thrown out.
Alesha goes back.
382
00:22:46,147 --> 00:22:48,104
Knee-jerk defence. Entrapment.
383
00:22:48,105 --> 00:22:50,629
- She went in for a biopsy.
- Armed with a spy camera.
384
00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:52,108
Did you know she was going
to do this?
385
00:22:52,109 --> 00:22:52,980
Oh, yeah.
386
00:22:54,198 --> 00:22:55,198
I said, "Hey, Alesha,
don't give up now.
387
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:56,591
Next time, you might get lucky."
388
00:22:56,592 --> 00:22:58,377
Excuse me. Ronnie Brooks. Hello?
389
00:22:58,899 --> 00:23:01,205
The cab she hailed
on Marylebone Road.
390
00:23:01,554 --> 00:23:03,032
Does the driver remember her?
391
00:23:03,033 --> 00:23:05,252
Well, he-- he remembers
the drop-off at the hospital.
392
00:23:05,253 --> 00:23:08,212
- But, uh, not the customer, no.
- Thank you very much.
393
00:23:09,823 --> 00:23:12,215
Uh, okay, gentlemen.
394
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:15,394
There were traces of GHB
in Alesha's samples.
395
00:23:16,525 --> 00:23:17,874
Well, that's something.
396
00:23:20,747 --> 00:23:21,661
She's here.
397
00:23:33,890 --> 00:23:34,804
Hey there.
398
00:23:37,198 --> 00:23:39,156
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
399
00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:43,683
You should be at home.
400
00:23:44,248 --> 00:23:45,293
He's right, you know.
401
00:23:46,816 --> 00:23:48,862
Cup of tea in my office,
gentlemen, please.
402
00:24:04,573 --> 00:24:05,792
That's a first.
403
00:24:06,575 --> 00:24:08,098
George entertaining.
404
00:24:19,196 --> 00:24:20,371
Did you watch it?
405
00:24:24,375 --> 00:24:25,159
Yes.
406
00:24:27,553 --> 00:24:29,468
Wha-- what are you gonna do?
407
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:33,863
I can't talk about it.
408
00:24:34,124 --> 00:24:36,910
What are you going to do?
409
00:24:41,175 --> 00:24:45,005
There were traces of GHB
found in your samples.
410
00:24:45,658 --> 00:24:47,877
- Then we've got him.
- It's not that simple.
411
00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:54,231
He asked you if you wanted
a nurse in the room.
412
00:24:55,015 --> 00:24:55,885
And you said no.
413
00:24:57,234 --> 00:24:59,715
You went back there
after he'd assaulted you.
414
00:25:02,196 --> 00:25:03,979
He's going to be
in the witness box, claiming
415
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:06,896
- that you wanted it.
- To be drugged?
416
00:25:07,157 --> 00:25:10,247
- And raped?
- To incriminate him.
417
00:25:10,596 --> 00:25:13,989
Less than 6% of reported
rape cases which go to trial--
418
00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:15,339
I know the statistics.
419
00:25:17,385 --> 00:25:20,301
I have to do this, and you have
to prosecute for me.
420
00:25:21,737 --> 00:25:24,173
We have a personal relationship.
421
00:25:24,174 --> 00:25:25,045
Please.
422
00:25:26,263 --> 00:25:28,569
I have to know
that what I went through
423
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:31,050
- was worth it.
- Oh, no. Don't, don't say that.
424
00:25:31,051 --> 00:25:34,401
You're always telling me
that we should fight
425
00:25:34,402 --> 00:25:38,493
for the victim. I am the victim.
426
00:25:39,668 --> 00:25:40,930
Fight for me.
427
00:25:46,283 --> 00:25:47,154
Okay.
428
00:25:48,242 --> 00:25:49,330
Thank you.
429
00:25:59,862 --> 00:26:00,776
There he is.
430
00:26:01,951 --> 00:26:03,649
- Dr. Alec Merrick.
- Yes?
431
00:26:04,475 --> 00:26:06,389
You look so much taller on film.
432
00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:07,826
Alec Merrick,
we're arresting you
433
00:26:07,827 --> 00:26:09,828
on suspicion of the rape
of Alesha Phillips.
434
00:26:09,829 --> 00:26:12,178
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense
435
00:26:12,179 --> 00:26:13,745
if you do not mention
when questioned, something
436
00:26:13,746 --> 00:26:15,835
- you later rely on in court.
- You don't need the cuffs.
437
00:26:17,140 --> 00:26:20,013
- You're hurting me.
- I know. Didn't that feel good?
438
00:26:22,929 --> 00:26:25,887
What was Alesha thinking?
Playing Nancy bloody Drew?
439
00:26:25,888 --> 00:26:27,802
She didn't want him getting away
with the assault.
440
00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:29,674
He may get away
with a lot more now.
441
00:26:29,675 --> 00:26:33,199
He's got Phyllis Gladstone
as his defense barrister.
442
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,028
- Great.
- We know what she'll argue.
443
00:26:35,419 --> 00:26:37,944
A woman has the foresight
to record her own rape?
444
00:26:38,205 --> 00:26:40,860
Looks like she expected it.
Instigated it.
445
00:26:41,121 --> 00:26:43,252
Tempted an otherwise
innocent man.
446
00:26:43,253 --> 00:26:44,602
He's not innocent.
447
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:46,473
He drugged her.
You've seen the tape.
448
00:26:46,474 --> 00:26:48,432
I didn't see him force drugs
on her.
449
00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:51,173
You're gonna have to prove
that he has the propensity
450
00:26:51,174 --> 00:26:53,523
to commit sex crimes
or he walks.
451
00:26:53,524 --> 00:26:55,483
He's a very eminent doctor,
James.
452
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,137
Why did she have to go
and get herself raped?
453
00:26:58,138 --> 00:27:00,706
- I mean, how stupid can you be?
- It's done.
454
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:03,883
It's happened.
So now we have to deal with it.
455
00:27:05,275 --> 00:27:07,451
She'll go through hell
in that witness box.
456
00:27:08,104 --> 00:27:09,279
She's already there.
457
00:27:22,858 --> 00:27:25,644
The subconscious endorsement
of the female counsel.
458
00:27:26,209 --> 00:27:27,732
The oldest trick in the book.
459
00:27:27,733 --> 00:27:30,431
I think Dr. Merrick picked me
because I'm the best.
460
00:27:31,127 --> 00:27:34,129
- How can you defend that man?
- Easy, cab rank principle.
461
00:27:34,130 --> 00:27:36,218
When you bang on to the press
about the rights of women
462
00:27:36,219 --> 00:27:37,567
who hit back at their abusers.
463
00:27:37,568 --> 00:27:38,961
I'm doing this for them.
464
00:27:39,396 --> 00:27:40,701
Women who cry rape spit
465
00:27:40,702 --> 00:27:42,181
in the eye
of the genuine victims.
466
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:44,357
Alesha is a genuine victim.
467
00:27:44,358 --> 00:27:46,098
Judge Silverton
doesn't think so.
468
00:27:46,099 --> 00:27:47,403
Why else would he
grant her application
469
00:27:47,404 --> 00:27:48,709
for reporting restrictions?
470
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:50,798
Dr. Merrick treats MPs.
There's no other agenda.
471
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:52,757
- You saw that tape.
- She didn't fight.
472
00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:55,282
- She didn't scream.
- Because she was drugged.
473
00:27:55,761 --> 00:27:58,633
That was her idea.
To put her in the mood.
474
00:28:00,069 --> 00:28:02,201
- You are kidding me!
- GHB has been used
475
00:28:02,202 --> 00:28:04,029
for recreational purposes
for years.
476
00:28:04,030 --> 00:28:06,771
Not by Alesha. He spiked
her water. Then he raped her.
477
00:28:06,772 --> 00:28:08,599
She was badly bruised, Phyllis.
478
00:28:08,904 --> 00:28:10,297
She likes it rough.
479
00:28:10,601 --> 00:28:12,298
That's what she told him
in his office beforehand
480
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:14,343
when she came on to him,
all tits and teeth.
481
00:28:14,344 --> 00:28:16,216
Agent provocateur.
482
00:28:18,131 --> 00:28:19,567
If you cared about her...
483
00:28:20,394 --> 00:28:22,656
you'd spare her what I'm about
to put her through.
484
00:28:22,657 --> 00:28:25,573
She is tougher and stronger
than you think.
485
00:29:17,843 --> 00:29:19,669
This is what you want,
isn't it?
486
00:29:19,670 --> 00:29:20,584
No!
487
00:29:21,716 --> 00:29:24,066
You begged me to do
this to you.
488
00:29:24,501 --> 00:29:25,894
Stop! Please!
489
00:29:26,634 --> 00:29:29,419
Dirty, little, black bitch.
490
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:41,954
Didn't that...
491
00:29:44,565 --> 00:29:45,784
Didn't that feel good?
492
00:29:55,315 --> 00:29:59,536
Why did you take a camera
into the examination room?
493
00:29:59,928 --> 00:30:03,149
Dr. Merrick had touched me
inappropriately before.
494
00:30:04,150 --> 00:30:07,022
I believe that he was abusing
his position as a gynecologist.
495
00:30:07,327 --> 00:30:09,590
And you wanted confirmation
of that?
496
00:30:10,286 --> 00:30:13,463
Yes. That's why
I didn't ask the nurse to stay.
497
00:30:14,247 --> 00:30:14,943
Thank you.
498
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:16,858
No further questions.
499
00:30:20,035 --> 00:30:22,342
You're a CPS employee,
Miss Phillips.
500
00:30:23,647 --> 00:30:25,127
Why don't you trust the police?
501
00:30:26,650 --> 00:30:30,089
Weren't they investigating
this alleged previous incident?
502
00:30:31,917 --> 00:30:33,962
They didn't have enough evidence
to proceed.
503
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,051
I wanted proof.
504
00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:38,923
Which is why you suggested
to my client
505
00:30:38,924 --> 00:30:40,969
that you take drugs and have sex
with him?
506
00:30:42,318 --> 00:30:44,145
I did no such thing.
507
00:30:44,146 --> 00:30:46,365
As an experienced prosecutor,
508
00:30:46,366 --> 00:30:48,237
you must have seen a lot
of rape trials.
509
00:30:48,890 --> 00:30:49,760
Yes.
510
00:30:51,327 --> 00:30:53,112
So, you'd know what would make
a convincing rape victim?
511
00:30:54,722 --> 00:30:55,854
I'm not lying.
512
00:30:57,290 --> 00:31:00,031
You've just admitted
that you went there that day,
513
00:31:00,032 --> 00:31:02,729
with the sole purpose
of enticing Dr. Merrick--
514
00:31:02,730 --> 00:31:04,862
- I didn't entice him!
- ...into a sexual act.
515
00:31:04,863 --> 00:31:07,473
I thought he would touch me
like he did before.
516
00:31:07,474 --> 00:31:10,346
I had no idea he would drug
and rape me!
517
00:31:11,782 --> 00:31:13,480
Who is Dr. Barbara Lawrence?
518
00:31:20,139 --> 00:31:21,400
She's my doctor.
519
00:31:21,401 --> 00:31:22,793
What kind of doctor?
520
00:31:27,755 --> 00:31:28,625
She's...
521
00:31:30,932 --> 00:31:33,195
She's a gynecologist
at Waterloo City.
522
00:31:34,022 --> 00:31:36,111
And you've been seeing her
for the last five years?
523
00:31:37,243 --> 00:31:38,070
Yes.
524
00:31:39,723 --> 00:31:42,509
Do you see two dentists,
Miss Phillips?
525
00:31:45,251 --> 00:31:46,905
I wanted a second opinion.
526
00:31:50,430 --> 00:31:51,822
Who is Diane Perkins?
527
00:31:55,174 --> 00:31:57,916
Is she a friend of yours
from City Law School?
528
00:32:00,657 --> 00:32:01,962
Yes.
529
00:32:01,963 --> 00:32:03,616
Uh, my lord, I don't see
how this is relevant.
530
00:32:03,617 --> 00:32:05,618
Miss Gladstone?
Where is this heading?
531
00:32:05,619 --> 00:32:07,968
Diane Perkins
is a former patient
532
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:10,275
of Dr. Merrick's
who has a grudge against him.
533
00:32:10,276 --> 00:32:12,886
This has never been mentioned
before, my lord.
534
00:32:12,887 --> 00:32:15,280
The defense case
is that these two women
535
00:32:15,281 --> 00:32:18,370
must have set out together
to smear Dr. Merrick...
536
00:32:18,371 --> 00:32:20,241
My lord, this cannot be allowed.
537
00:32:20,242 --> 00:32:21,503
This setup was nothing
538
00:32:21,504 --> 00:32:22,896
- more than a grubby
- My lord!
539
00:32:22,897 --> 00:32:24,854
- little vendetta as opposed...
- Please, my lord!
540
00:32:24,855 --> 00:32:26,247
...quest for justice.
541
00:32:26,248 --> 00:32:28,684
How would you feel
if you were cross-examining me,
542
00:32:28,685 --> 00:32:31,471
- right now, Miss Phillips?
- That's enough, Miss Gladstone.
543
00:32:32,646 --> 00:32:33,647
Members of the jury.
544
00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:35,517
May I ask you to go
545
00:32:35,518 --> 00:32:37,520
with the usher
for a few moments?
546
00:32:39,435 --> 00:32:41,176
Thank you, Miss Phillips.
You can go.
547
00:32:52,231 --> 00:32:54,493
This should have been raised
at the pre-trial review.
548
00:32:54,494 --> 00:32:56,103
It's something
the defense themselves
549
00:32:56,104 --> 00:32:57,323
have only just found out.
550
00:32:58,715 --> 00:33:00,020
Do you plan to call Miss Perkins
to give evidence?
551
00:33:00,021 --> 00:33:01,804
I certainly don't.
She is mentally unstable.
552
00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:03,763
But it doesn't stop me
from putting it to the witness.
553
00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:05,634
This is totally
without foundation.
554
00:33:05,635 --> 00:33:07,288
How can there be a fair trial
now?
555
00:33:07,289 --> 00:33:09,857
- The jury should be discharged.
- There's no need.
556
00:33:10,336 --> 00:33:13,164
I'll tell them to disregard
Miss Gladstone's remarks.
557
00:33:13,165 --> 00:33:14,556
But the seed has been planted.
558
00:33:14,557 --> 00:33:16,123
The damage is done,
which is exactly
559
00:33:16,124 --> 00:33:17,603
what Miss Gladstone intended.
560
00:33:17,604 --> 00:33:20,258
If I swapped juries every time
a barrister ran off
561
00:33:20,259 --> 00:33:22,000
at the mouth, we'd never reach
a verdict.
562
00:33:24,132 --> 00:33:25,133
Thank you, my lord.
563
00:33:44,761 --> 00:33:45,980
You should have told me.
564
00:34:00,821 --> 00:34:03,171
Diane was my best mate in uni.
565
00:34:06,305 --> 00:34:09,395
She was raped by her boyfriend
and his roommate.
566
00:34:10,744 --> 00:34:12,441
They said she'd asked for it.
567
00:34:17,142 --> 00:34:18,969
She took a whole load of pills.
568
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,363
She quit. She went home.
569
00:34:22,277 --> 00:34:23,365
Only I knew.
570
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:30,024
What's all that got to do
with Dr. Merrick?
571
00:34:32,157 --> 00:34:33,418
She thought
she couldn't have kids
572
00:34:33,419 --> 00:34:34,811
because of what they did.
573
00:34:36,248 --> 00:34:38,076
That's why I told her to go
and see him.
574
00:34:40,948 --> 00:34:42,602
God, I even lent her the money.
575
00:34:48,738 --> 00:34:50,478
Alesha, why didn't you come
to us?
576
00:34:50,479 --> 00:34:54,092
What was the point? She wouldn't
even talk to me. Her friend.
577
00:34:56,833 --> 00:34:59,706
So what? You went to Merrick's,
to find out what he'd done?
578
00:35:02,883 --> 00:35:04,232
I never knew, but...
579
00:35:04,624 --> 00:35:06,234
He must have raped her, too.
580
00:35:10,064 --> 00:35:11,761
And now he'll walk free,
581
00:35:13,154 --> 00:35:16,375
leaving all of his victims
to live with what he did.
582
00:35:18,551 --> 00:35:20,161
And it's all my fault.
583
00:35:28,604 --> 00:35:30,388
Okay, James.
Merrick's next.
584
00:35:30,389 --> 00:35:32,694
Don't let your emotions
get the better of you.
585
00:35:32,695 --> 00:35:34,958
Be passionate, yes,
but stay focused.
586
00:35:35,568 --> 00:35:38,135
Alesha has already
lost credibility as a witness,
587
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,224
thanks to the wicked witch
of defense.
588
00:35:40,225 --> 00:35:42,226
She needs you to go in there
and be brilliant.
589
00:35:42,227 --> 00:35:43,923
Do you want to do it
instead of me, George?
590
00:35:43,924 --> 00:35:46,753
- No. Don't tempt me.
- I won't let her down.
591
00:35:47,797 --> 00:35:49,711
She said
she'd been fantasizing about me
592
00:35:49,712 --> 00:35:50,974
since the day we met,
593
00:35:52,237 --> 00:35:53,977
that she had a thing
for doctors.
594
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:57,938
And then she told me
what she would like to happen.
595
00:35:59,244 --> 00:36:00,549
What was that, Dr. Merrick?
596
00:36:01,507 --> 00:36:03,335
She wanted to take some GHB,
597
00:36:04,510 --> 00:36:06,250
then go
into the examination room,
598
00:36:06,251 --> 00:36:08,470
and act as though
we were going to do the biopsy.
599
00:36:09,515 --> 00:36:11,212
We would get rid of the nurse...
600
00:36:12,953 --> 00:36:13,780
and then...
601
00:36:17,392 --> 00:36:19,264
Do you remember her exact words?
602
00:36:22,092 --> 00:36:24,007
Answer the question if you will.
603
00:36:28,447 --> 00:36:30,535
That I was to
"give it to her good and hard."
604
00:36:30,536 --> 00:36:32,538
Those are her words, not mine.
605
00:36:34,366 --> 00:36:36,977
How did you feel
when you were arrested for rape?
606
00:36:37,325 --> 00:36:38,283
Devastated.
607
00:36:38,631 --> 00:36:40,022
I've treated rape victims.
608
00:36:40,023 --> 00:36:43,243
I, I raise money
for rape crisis centers.
609
00:36:43,244 --> 00:36:46,160
I know from experience
how horrendous it is for them.
610
00:36:47,683 --> 00:36:48,858
Thank you, Dr. Merrick.
611
00:37:02,742 --> 00:37:05,092
Do you call all your women
dirty bitches?
612
00:37:06,615 --> 00:37:08,095
It was part of the role play.
613
00:37:10,097 --> 00:37:12,620
The whole thing made me feel
very uncomfortable.
614
00:37:12,621 --> 00:37:13,883
It didn't look like it.
615
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:16,102
You seemed quite at home
616
00:37:16,103 --> 00:37:18,322
penetrating a patient
who couldn't fight back.
617
00:37:18,323 --> 00:37:19,541
She said it was her fantasy.
618
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:22,543
To lie there helpless,
while you abused her?
619
00:37:22,544 --> 00:37:24,372
I wish I hadn't fallen for it.
620
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:30,378
I was stupid and weak.
621
00:37:32,902 --> 00:37:35,035
But I, I did not rape her.
622
00:37:37,037 --> 00:37:39,387
You're very good at role-play,
aren't you, Dr. Merrick?
623
00:37:40,910 --> 00:37:42,346
What role are you playing today?
624
00:37:42,347 --> 00:37:43,825
I'm here to tell the truth.
625
00:37:43,826 --> 00:37:46,873
How can we believe a man
who swaps characters so easily?
626
00:37:47,134 --> 00:37:49,918
You were very convincing
as the sadistic rapist
627
00:37:49,919 --> 00:37:51,224
we all saw on film.
628
00:37:51,225 --> 00:37:53,357
- Which is the real you?
- I am the victim.
629
00:37:53,358 --> 00:37:54,880
But you didn't know
you were being filmed.
630
00:37:54,881 --> 00:37:56,751
- Because she--
- That was the real you,
631
00:37:56,752 --> 00:37:58,231
wasn't it, Dr. Merrick?
632
00:37:58,232 --> 00:38:01,060
A man who thinks nothing
of drugging and raping a patient
633
00:38:01,061 --> 00:38:02,627
who'd come in
for a cancer biopsy.
634
00:38:02,628 --> 00:38:04,585
- She entrapped me.
- She came to you for help
635
00:38:04,586 --> 00:38:06,936
- and you raped her.
- She asked for it.
636
00:38:14,944 --> 00:38:16,118
Did your other victims
637
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:17,468
- ask for it, too?
- My lord,
638
00:38:17,469 --> 00:38:19,383
- this is an outrage.
- The ones drugged and tortured?
639
00:38:19,384 --> 00:38:22,734
- This cannot be allowed.
- I have never hurt any woman.
640
00:38:22,735 --> 00:38:24,302
What about your wife,
Dr. Merrick?
641
00:38:25,607 --> 00:38:27,216
Didn't she hang herself,
leaving a note
642
00:38:27,217 --> 00:38:29,958
- about escaping the pain?
- That's enough, Mr. Steel.
643
00:38:29,959 --> 00:38:32,310
You don't have to answer
that question, Dr. Merrick.
644
00:38:33,006 --> 00:38:35,747
The jury will disregard
those last remarks.
645
00:38:35,748 --> 00:38:36,705
Very well, my lord.
646
00:38:37,402 --> 00:38:39,273
I'd like to answer that,
if I may.
647
00:38:43,843 --> 00:38:45,758
My wife was a manic depressive.
648
00:38:48,151 --> 00:38:50,066
I knew that when I married her
but...
649
00:38:51,154 --> 00:38:52,330
I was deeply in love.
650
00:38:55,289 --> 00:38:56,551
She couldn't conceive.
651
00:38:59,075 --> 00:39:00,946
The pain I caused
652
00:39:00,947 --> 00:39:03,776
was that I could help other
infertile women, but not her.
653
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:06,604
Everyone who knows me
will tell you
654
00:39:06,605 --> 00:39:10,391
that I have dedicated my life
to empowering women.
655
00:39:11,392 --> 00:39:13,742
- Like Miss Phillips?
- I did not rape her.
656
00:39:15,483 --> 00:39:16,702
No further questions.
657
00:39:25,928 --> 00:39:27,668
Members of the jury.
658
00:39:27,669 --> 00:39:30,497
Have you reached a verdict
upon which you are all agreed?
659
00:39:30,498 --> 00:39:31,369
Yes.
660
00:39:32,674 --> 00:39:33,849
In relation
to the count of rape,
661
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:37,200
do you find the defendant,
Dr. Alec Merrick,
662
00:39:37,766 --> 00:39:40,073
guilty or not guilty?
663
00:39:43,772 --> 00:39:44,686
Not guilty.
664
00:40:16,022 --> 00:40:18,763
He won't stop.
The next lucky lady
665
00:40:18,764 --> 00:40:21,069
is out there somewhere.
You must be very proud.
666
00:40:21,070 --> 00:40:22,507
It was the jury's decision.
667
00:40:22,942 --> 00:40:25,074
They didn't know the facts.
You did.
668
00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:26,858
You shouldn't have taken
this case.
669
00:40:26,859 --> 00:40:28,643
You're too emotionally involved.
It's over.
670
00:40:29,514 --> 00:40:31,951
Not for his victims.
Not for Alesha.
671
00:40:32,647 --> 00:40:34,475
You just helped a rapist
walk free.
672
00:40:35,171 --> 00:40:36,433
Try telling that little story
673
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:38,436
at your next
women's rights function.
674
00:40:52,275 --> 00:40:53,276
I'm sorry.
675
00:40:54,974 --> 00:40:56,671
I should have told you
about Diane.
676
00:40:59,587 --> 00:41:01,284
Unless anyone else
comes forward,
677
00:41:02,416 --> 00:41:03,373
we'll never get him.
678
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:07,029
No one will come forward.
679
00:41:15,864 --> 00:41:16,822
It's not over.
680
00:41:19,302 --> 00:41:20,478
What can we do?
681
00:41:22,654 --> 00:41:25,134
His victims know what he did.
682
00:41:26,048 --> 00:41:27,485
They all think they're alone.
683
00:41:29,965 --> 00:41:34,013
If he were to be arrested
in public,
684
00:41:35,057 --> 00:41:36,536
they might speak out.
685
00:41:36,537 --> 00:41:40,062
And give you the evidence
you'd need to charge him?
686
00:41:43,457 --> 00:41:45,545
Dr. Merrick is giving a talk
tomorrow
687
00:41:45,546 --> 00:41:47,721
on the latest developments
in curing ovarian cancer.
688
00:41:47,722 --> 00:41:50,333
Three o'clock.
There will be TV cameras there.
689
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,511
Look, I know this is a lot
to ask, Matt.
690
00:41:53,815 --> 00:41:56,688
- You okay with it?
- I'm more than okay.
691
00:41:59,081 --> 00:42:00,473
What do you reckon, then, Guv?
692
00:42:00,474 --> 00:42:02,520
All we need is for you
to give us the nod.
693
00:42:05,827 --> 00:42:07,525
Wait until they start filming.
694
00:42:10,310 --> 00:42:13,486
We've seen enhanced recovery
programs work
695
00:42:13,487 --> 00:42:15,141
for colorectal surgery.
696
00:42:15,663 --> 00:42:16,968
And I'm pleased to say
697
00:42:16,969 --> 00:42:18,273
these principles can be applied
698
00:42:18,274 --> 00:42:19,537
to gynecological--
699
00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:25,543
Can be applied to, uh,
gynecological oncology as well.
700
00:42:27,893 --> 00:42:32,680
Um, patient outcome is excellent
and satisfaction high.
701
00:42:33,507 --> 00:42:34,464
Uh...
702
00:42:36,118 --> 00:42:38,642
The key-- the key word here,
ladies and gentlemen,
703
00:42:38,643 --> 00:42:40,601
- is aftercare.
- You said it.
704
00:42:41,907 --> 00:42:43,386
Dr. Alec Merrick.
705
00:42:45,258 --> 00:42:47,565
We're arresting you on suspicion
of rape.
706
00:42:49,871 --> 00:42:51,480
Have you got
anything to say for yourself,
707
00:42:51,481 --> 00:42:52,221
Doctor?
708
00:42:53,135 --> 00:42:54,397
Smile for the cameras.
709
00:42:57,836 --> 00:43:01,490
I will fight this case
on behalf of every innocent man
710
00:43:01,491 --> 00:43:04,538
who has been wrongly accused.
Thank you very much. Excuse me.
711
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:10,370
Have we got a case yet?
712
00:43:12,111 --> 00:43:13,242
We're working on it.
713
00:43:14,766 --> 00:43:16,680
Diane Perkins
still won't give evidence.
714
00:43:16,681 --> 00:43:19,509
I checked. So, what's going on?
715
00:43:22,556 --> 00:43:24,210
You've got nothing concrete,
have you?
716
00:43:25,515 --> 00:43:26,604
This is a bluff.
717
00:43:28,214 --> 00:43:29,911
If you don't drop this now,
you'll be in no end of trouble.
718
00:43:34,873 --> 00:43:36,091
Could you come in now?
719
00:43:54,283 --> 00:43:55,676
Fourteen women,
720
00:43:56,285 --> 00:43:58,853
either assaulted, or raped,
721
00:43:59,593 --> 00:44:02,988
by one Dr. Alec Merrick, MBBS.
722
00:44:04,598 --> 00:44:06,425
They all came forward
in the last 24 hours,
723
00:44:06,426 --> 00:44:07,557
due to your arrest.
724
00:44:11,692 --> 00:44:12,911
Why are you doing this?
725
00:44:14,042 --> 00:44:15,827
I only did what you asked me to.
726
00:44:16,131 --> 00:44:18,264
One of them is Diane Perkins.
727
00:44:19,004 --> 00:44:20,614
You can't get away with this.
728
00:44:25,706 --> 00:44:28,012
My client was arrested
without a claimant or a case.
729
00:44:28,013 --> 00:44:29,667
It's wrongful arrest.
It was a punt.
730
00:44:30,058 --> 00:44:31,450
Totally unprofessional.
731
00:44:31,451 --> 00:44:33,757
Yes. It could all
have backfired horribly but,
732
00:44:33,758 --> 00:44:35,715
happily for us, it didn't.
733
00:44:35,716 --> 00:44:37,674
I'll be filing a report
with the Bar council.
734
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:39,763
Good luck with that.
And in the meantime, I suggest
735
00:44:39,764 --> 00:44:41,679
that you ask James
what he wants.
736
00:44:43,245 --> 00:44:45,638
I'd like Dr. Merrick to spend
a week locked in a room
737
00:44:45,639 --> 00:44:46,640
with his victims.
738
00:44:50,122 --> 00:44:51,863
But I'll settle
for a life sentence.
739
00:45:08,270 --> 00:45:09,141
Go home.
740
00:45:11,709 --> 00:45:12,753
Get some sleep.
741
00:46:01,149 --> 00:46:03,064
Hello, sweetheart.
How's my little girl?
742
00:46:04,718 --> 00:46:07,373
Listen, how's about old Dad
come around with a takeaway?
743
00:46:08,069 --> 00:46:10,506
Great. What do you fancy,
a Chinese or a Thai?
