In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented
by two separate yet equally important groups.

The police,
who investigate crime,

and the Crown Prosecutors,
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Dan] It's art Deco.
We got it in Barcelona on our first anniversary.

There's no point it hanging
in the cottage if we never spend any time there.

Yeah, the clerk said you
were coming home early.

Sent a package from the court
for your wife.

Yeah, last-minute conference.
She can't let them down.

She was looking forward
to a nice break too.

Um, this can wait. She'll need help with the bags.

What was that?

That's your car.

Rachel!

Call an ambulance!

Oh!

Victim, Rachel Callaghan,

age 54,

a High Court Judge.

Thank you.
She's lived here

for seven years
with her husband Dan,

who's gone to hospital with her.

Alright, Pete, what you got?

Well, she fell here.
Took two shots.

A stray bullet hit the far wall,
looks like a thirty eight.

All this for a car?

Car details have been circulated
to all units.

And we've got uniform checking
the nearby CCTV for a possible photo.

The concierge
didn't see his face.

Don't worry.
He's going to stand out from the crowd.

We found this. Red dye gel.

You spray the attacker
in the eyes, he rubs it all over his face.

Doesn't wash off for seven days.

So finally,

we might actually catch someone
red-handed.

Judge Callaghan's car had
a GPS tracking device.

Get onto them,
tell them to activate it.

Do either of you smoke?

No, sir.

Good. She'd kill me
if I started again.

Did you notice
anyone acting suspiciously when you got out of the car?

No. No one.

And your wife was driving, yeah?

No, I was,
but we had this mirror, and...

Rachel suggested I take it in
while she parked the car.

Whereabouts,
where you travelling from, sir?

Lavenham, in Suffolk.
We, we've got a cottage there.

We came back early.

You don't expect
this kind of thing to happen on your doorstep.

No, sir.

Mr. Callaghan,
your wife came through surgery.

Is she going to be okay?

Well, we won't be able
to give a clear idea of her prognosis

until she stabilizes.

She is still unconscious.

- Mr. Callaghan we'll--
- Dad?

Oh, God, Linds.

How-- how's mum? What happened?

- She's gonna be alright, Linds.
- Do you want to come this way?

The police said
she's been shot...

The signal
from the tracking device stopped here.

- Where's the car?
- Good question.

- The trace led here?
- Which is where he dismantled this.

- What time did you get here?
- 16:23, I made a note of it.

Very good.
Make sure you get hold of the camera footage, yeah?

I reckon maybe
he's changed the plates.

Nothing gets past me, sir.

Well,
nothing gets past PC Griffin,

except maybe a stolen Merc.
There it is.

Time code 16.22,

that's the Merc going
along Heath field road.

And that's Sherlock
going the other way.

There are two men in this car.

He had help.
He must have met his sidekick at the warehouse.

Can't see their faces though.

We took a close-up
of the plates they ran 'em through PNC. They're cloned.

We can't have women
gunned down on their doorstep because of a car.

Maybe if she'd
just let him take the car.

Well, maybe she wasn't thinking
straight with a gun to her head.

How much do you love me?

ANPR cameras have picked up
the Mercedes plates.

- Brilliant.
- Car's parked in the city.

So, why are you still here?

Keep going, Ange,
you could be the third Mrs. Brooks.

Or the first Mrs. Devlin.

- 4-3-4-5-A-2-0-7-7-8-1
- House!

That's the judge's motor.

Look, it's mine.
I've got the documents.

Good.

You can bring them
to the station with ya.

Yeah, we've got the Merc.
Get forensics on it straightaway.

I didn't know
the papers were forged.

I had no idea it was stolen.

You just thought,
you'd met a very generous car dealer.

A brand-new Mercedes Benz,
market price 56 grand,

and you get it for eight?
Come on, Nick!

- When did you buy it?
- Yesterday.

- Who did you buy it from?
- I don't know his name.

And what did he look like?

Okay, all these people
are all on file

with the stolen vehicle squad.

You really don't wanna
mess these people--

And you don't wanna be messing
with us, either, Nick.

A high court judge has been shot
for this car.

Exactly, so what are they
going to do to me?

Well, at this rate
you might be safe and sound behind bars.

She's paralyzed. She might die.

And you've been driving around
in her stolen car.

It's not looking good for you,
Nick.

Never should have
gotten involved.

Well, how did you get
involved?

I was a banker.
I got hammered in the recession.

Got into debt
and had to trade down my car.

I've just started over
as an independent financial adviser.

Would you take
financial advice off someone who drove around in a hatchback?

So you needed the wheels
to look the part!

There's also this woman, Danni.
She's...

She's a little out of my league.

Well, I doubt she'll give up
her Saturdays to come and visit you in the nick, Nick.

So, about the car?

Well, I asked around,
found out about the Mercedes,

got some cash together,
and met this guy

- in a scrap yard last night in Putney.
- Is he in the album?

Just have a look,
alright? Here we go.

- No.
- Right.

- No.
- No?

That's him.

- Now, did he have red paint on his face?
- No.

Thank you.
An officer will show you out.

- Will I get my money back?
- I doubt it.

I was supposed to take
Danni out tonight.

Tell her you've gone green,
bought a bike.

Righto, lads, in you go.

Armed police!
Stay where you are!

We're clear!

Stay where you are!
Stay down!

Stay where you are!

Armed police!
Stay where you are!

Stay where you are now!

Leave it, lads.
They never learn.

Get out my way man,
what you doing?

The police are after me, man!

- Bollocks!
- Really? Marty Flynn,

I'm arresting you on suspicion
of handling stolen goods.

That's him.
That's Eddie Wade.

Look, he's the one you want,
yeah, not me.

- So where is he, Marty?
- I don't know.

Marty, we found a gun
under the floorboards of your flat.

It's in the lab right now.
If it's the same gun

used to shoot the judge,
you're in trouble, son.

I didn't shoot no judge, did I?

But you sold the car
on for Eddie Wade.

So, you are involved,
which means you aided

and abetted
a potential murderer.

I knew nothing about that.

Yeah, we use guns
to scare people, but that's it.

We don't shoot them,
there's no need to.

Eddie did, though, Marty.
And he's not here,

so unless you wanna take
the rap for what he did,

I suggest you tell us
everything you know.

Look he'd already stolen the car
when he asked me to help him.

He had paint on his face.
He needed me to take the car down

to some dealer he had lined up.

It was to be shipped abroad.

So, then why is the car
still in London?

'Cause I knew some city wanker
who was looking for a posh set of wheels.

Eight thousand, cash in hand.

So, I do the deal with him,
I go back to Eddie all chuffed, only

he kicks off.

And kicks off about what?

It was supposed to be shipped
to Africa.

I told him
I got us a lot more cash for it,

and he said he was onto
something a lot bigger

that had nothing to do
with the Mercedes.

And that I'd ballsed it up.

Ballsed what up?
What bigger deal?

I dunno.
He just told me to sit and wait

for the second half
of some payment.

Ten grand.

Eddie Wade
was supposed to receive a total payment of £20,000.

He'd already had half
as down payment & was expecting the other £10,000

to be delivered
to his flat today.

- For the stolen car?
- No, that was a separate deal.

If it wasn't for the car...

could be someone paid him
to shoot the judge.

Well, it's a possibility.

Before he took off,
Eddie gave Marty a mobile phone.

Someone was supposed
to call that phone

to make the rest of the payment.

Eddie's on the run.
Gone hiding

wearing ski goggles
to hide the red paint.

So, we've got to put out
a nationwide search for Eddie the eagle.

And organize some surveillance
for his flat

in case he comes back
for the money.

If you're right about this,
we've got to work out

who would want
judge Callaghan dead.

Well, they were supposed to be
in Suffolk till the weekend.

Whoever it was must've known
they were coming back early.

Well, there is one person
who knew.

The husband.

No, I don't know him.
What's this about?

Ok, well, what about the name
Eddie or Edward Wade?

No. Why?

Well, we think someone
may have hired him to shoot your wife.

Why would anyone do that?

Because
she's a high profile judge, sir.

Who exactly knew
you'd be coming home early?

No one except the clerk and me.

You and your wife
getting on okay?

- What?
- We do have to ask these questions, sir.

Oh, oh, Mike knew too,
the concierge.

Maybe he set it up 'cause Rachel
didn't tip him enough.

- It's not funny, Mr. Ca--
- Bloody right it isn't!

My wife's just been told
that she'll never walk again

because
of what that bastard did, and you're suggesting--

- We're not suggesting any--
- We've been married for 34 years!

We're not suggesting
anything, sir.

We'd just like to eliminate you
from our inquiries.

I've given her
a painkiller, if you want to go and have a couple of minutes.

Sorry, sir,
we'd like to speak to her alone.

- That's him.
- Are you sure?

Mrs. Callaghan,
we have reason to believe

that someone may have paid
this man to shoot you.

Oh, that's why.

Why what?

Well,
when I got out of the car, I...

expected him to get into it
and just drive away.

But he went on
pointing the gun at me.

So, then I realized
that he meant to kill me anyway.

What time did you leave
Lavenham?

Oh, around half past twelve.

And you got home
at twenty to three?

Dan got lost.
We were arguing and...

He was being very childish
about my having to come back.

He insisted
on taking this tacky old mirror.

You see, if he hadn't had
to get out of the car

and take it inside,
the stupid thing,

I might not be lying here now.

And that was
Mr. Callaghan's idea?

Yeah, it's eating him alive.

But I told him
he wasn't to know.

We have one deleted
incoming number...

...taken from the phone

that Eddie Wade
gave to Marty Flynn.

That call came
from a pay-as-you-go mobile to Eddie Wade's phone

at 11:45 a.m.
The day of the shooting.

That could be the call
about them coming home early.

Yep. No trace yet.

The phone was bought with cash
on Oxford street two Saturdays ago.

The salesgirl doesn't remember
the buyer, so we're checking the CCTV cameras.

The Callaghans left
Lavenham at 12.30 P.M.

Mr. C wasn't very happy,
by all accounts.

He wanted them
to spend more time together.

So, he was feeling neglected.

What, neglected enough
to want to kill her?

You'd be surprised
how resentment can fester in a marriage, Matt.

Not after listening to him.

I don't see it.

No, I think he might
actually love her.

Why don't we go and talk
to the judge's clerk,

find out who knew
that she was on her way home.

Maybe someone else did it,

and that way
Matty's romantic ideals can remain intact.

Come on, sunshine.

It was a conference
on reporting restrictions on children's cases.

Been a nightmare to arrange.

I was told
it would be brought forward if Judge Callaghan could attend.

Well, what time
did you let her know?

Just after 11:30
that Monday morning.

I felt bad.

It was her first break
in over a year.

So, who knew
that she was going to attend the conference?

It was a busy morning.

I confirmed her attendance
that afternoon.

But none of these could
have known before 11:45

that judge Callaghan
had changed her plans

and was coming home early?

- No.
- Andrea, we're looking

at the possibility that this is
an attempted murder.

What?

So, did the judge mention to you
at all that she was being threatened?

A good few times.

She rules on cases
with hugely emotive issues,

and she's on the front line.

Could we have a look
at her ongoing case files?

Listen to this

Yeah, go on.

The judge was building a case
against a Walter Reeves, a site manager.

Now, he basically runs
a protection racket on service companies.

He gets them the gig
on new properties in exchange for the old

cash in a brown envelope.
The judge was about to ruin him.

And why did she get involved?

Well, one of the companies
that Walter Reeves

has got in his pocket is called,
Airoclear.

They're an air-con
installation company.

They do the repairs
on the building the judge lives in,

and Eddie Wade worked
for Airoclear, up until three years ago.

So, the chances are Reeves
could have known Wade

and asked him to put the judge
out of action.

- Bingo.
- But Reeves and Wade couldn't have known

the judge was coming back early,
so who else knew?

The concierge knew.

When I first got my job
at the apartment block,

I tried to change
the air-con repair company,

and Walter Reeves sent
a couple of heavies round

to change my mind.

And did you do what he said?
Are you still with Airoclear?

- Yes.
- Right, so you're in his pocket?

He's a nasty piece of work,
and I've got family.

I don't want to give evidence.

Evidence about what, Mike?

Did you tell Walter Reeves
that the judge was coming back early on Monday?

No.

I was the one
who blew the whistle on him

and said that he was taking
back-handers.

After that,
she started digging around.

Sorry, if you blew
the whistle on him,

then why don't you appear
in the judge's case file?

Because she didn't want me
involved for my own protection.

Believe me,
I'd love to help you put Walter Reeves away.

I've been running Airoclear
for years,

and Walter's been a thorn
in my side the whole time.

But Eddie Wade
only did commercial work

and Walter
was strictly residential, I--

I don't see how their paths
would have crossed.

So, Mr. Smith, one second. You--

You're saying that Eddie Wade
wouldn't have done any work

on Judge Callaghan's building?

No, we got the maintenance
contract seven years ago

on her husband's recommendation.

What, Dan Callaghan?
You know him?

We used to do a lot of work together

before he and Eddie fell out.

Excuse me. Hello?

Dan Callaghan
designed a shopping mall in Fensham Quays.

White elephant. Total disaster.

Eddie Wade was in charge
of installing the air-con system.

And was being a right pain
in the arse.

Callaghan was all over him,
making sure he did the job properly.

Only he swears to us
he's never heard of him.

Nobody forgets
a lousy co-worker.

No, I'll bear that in mind.

Or the man you pay
to kill your wife.

If you'd just like
to come in, sir.

Take a seat, Mr. Callaghan.

Thanks for coming in.

I know this must be a pretty
tough time for you right now.

Look, I'm sorry
about how I reacted before.

It's just the idea of someone
paying to kill my wife...

It's okay. I understand.

Mr. Callaghan, just a couple
of questions, okay?

Do you recognize this man?

He's the man who shot my wife.

You showed me this photo
at the hospital.

Do you know him
from before then?

No.

So you've never seen
this man before?

- No.
- Okay.

Three years ago, you designed
a mini shopping mall

in Fensham Quays,
didn't you, Mr. Callaghan?

What's that got to do
with anything?

Eddie Wade,

supervised the installation
of the air-con system.

Eddie Wade's friends say
this is a very good likeness of him.

He stole a car
from the site foreman.

He lost his job.

I can't place him now.

Or the name? Eddie Wade.

Why would I know his last name?

Well, Mr. Callaghan, you see,
according to the foreman

on that job,
you left instructions

almost every day for this man.

The instructions
were inside envelopes

with the name 'Eddie Wade'
written on them.

That was three years ago!

Your last big
commercial commission.

Yes, well,
the work force let me down.

Well, I'm pretty sure
if a work force had let me down,

I would remember
one of the supervisors.

Yes.

Well, I'm exhausted.

Whose idea was it
to unload the mirror?

That was my wife's.

Sorry, Ron. Okay.

She says it was your idea.

She also says you'd been arguing
that day.

That doesn't mean
I wanted her dead!

I can't believe
you're doing this.

Where were you on the Saturday
before you went away?

I went shopping in Oxford street

- for Rachel's birthday.
- What did you get her?

I couldn't find anything.
She's...

She's very choosy.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry,
it's Rachel.

She's lost the use
of her other kidney and...

something to do with the scan,

some side effect.
She's getting worse.

We're sorry to hear that.

I've got to go. She needs me.

I'm not sure she needs you
anywhere near her right now, sir.

I'm arresting you on suspicion
of conspiracy to commit murder.

Thank you.

"My husband was with me
when I learned we had to return to the city,

and he was with me
continuously thereafter.

He had no opportunity
to make a phone call

and arrange the incident."

When did you take this statement
from Judge Callaghan?

Last night, my lady,
after my client was arrested.

So, my learned colleague
surprises the victim with the news

and extracts this statement
from her whilst she's in shock.

In shock,
because of the unfairness of the charge.

The phone call
only lasted two minutes and was made from a mobile.

The defendant could've
slipped off to the bathroom--

The call was not made
from the defendant's mobile.

This is a bail hearing,
not a trial.

Your job here today,
Miss Phillips,

is to state
your objections to bail.

Crown strongly objects to bail

on the grounds
that the defendant

will try and interfere
with the witness, namely his wife.

That's hardly likely,

as she's the one
giving him the alibi.

My client is willing to offer
a surety of £50,000, my lady.

My lady, Mr. Callaghan
is a successful architect.

That's nothing to him.

Most of the Callaghan's money
is tied up in trusts.

What's accessible now
is earmarked for her care.

I am willing to grant bail
on certain conditions,

the first being a surety
of £50,000.

Judge Mary Hall
is standing by her colleague.

Who's standing by her man.
She must be reeling.

She can't accept that her
husband would do that to her.

According to slimy Simon,
Dan Callaghan, doesn't have access to his wife's riches.

He pretty much gave him
a motive while getting him bail.

He got bail
because of his wife's alibi.

Have we got anything else
on him?

What about
his financial records, has anything gone out?

The only big withdrawal of late
from his personal account is £400.

He was in Oxford street the day
the pay-as-you-go phone was bought.

Which still hasn't been traced.

He lied about knowing
Eddie Wade.

Who still can't be found.

So, what the hell have we got?

Nothing,
apart from circumstantial

and the alibi of a hugely
respected high court judge.

Who happens
to be a very proud woman.

That could be why she's lying.

Are you okay, George?

Yeah. Why shouldn't I be?

What part of "continuously",

don't you understand?

He didn't go
into any other room?

No. No.
We were listening to the radio

when my clerk rang,
and I knew that he'd be upset,

so, I didn't tell him
that we had to leave early

until the programme ended
at midday.

Now, the call to the man
who shot me

was made at 11:45,

am I right?

- The kids will be here soon.
- No.

I don't think so.

It's not the place
for them, really.

My mother's very tired
with her treatment.

I don't need you to speak
for me, Lindsay.

Mrs. Callaghan,
your husband knew the man

who shot you,
and he lied about that.

He lied about whose idea
it was to park the car.

If you were before me
in court right now,

I would lose no time
in dismissing your case

on the grounds of weak,

and wholly
insubstantial evidence.

- Mum--
- If you prosecute my husband,

I will give evidence
on his behalf.

Today is her birthday.

Why are you trying to destroy
what little she has left?

She's going through all this,
and dad's not even allowed to see her.

How was their relationship,
Lindsay?

Did she talk to him
like she talks to you?

I think she's allowed
to be a bit ratty under the circumstances.

- Did he mind that she was a workaholic?
- Was?

She intends to sue the hospital
for causing renal failure.

You've got it wrong.

Dad adores her.

Why would he do this to her?

To get access to her money.

Her insurance
and her estate goes to my kids.

Now I have to tell them
that their gran doesn't want to see them.

- Mummy!
- Mummy!

Hey!

So we don't even have
a financial motive.

No, but uniform have turned up
an eyewitness, Wendy Carey.

She lives on Mill Lane,
where the Callaghan' cottage is.

Says she was driving
past their cottage at around 11:50 that Monday.

She saw Dan Callaghan
in the garden wearing his running shorts.

The call to Eddie Wade
was made at 11:45.

Whereas Mrs. Callaghan insisted
they were together inside at that time.

Mrs. Carey also said,
she threw a small party

in honour of Rachel's
promotion the night before.

Dan Callaghan was drunk,
introducing himself to everyone

as Mr. Rachel Callaghan,
soon to be lady justice's wife.

Ouch.
Not bitter at all, then.

He & his wife ended up arguing.

Sounds like every married couple
I know.

Him being outside isn't enough.
We need motive.

Why would an ordinarily
loving husband suddenly do this?

Well, she had been promoted.

Yeah, not for the first time.
So why snap now?

What changed?

I had to let Dan go.

I couldn't carry him any longer,
not in this financial climate.

He lost his job here?

He was a liability.

I didn't even
have to buy him out.

He owed this firm enough.

See, Dan's a perfectionist,

but his designs
are all about him, making his mark.

He wouldn't listen
to the clients' needs or budgetary restraints.

His wife never said anything
about him losing his job.

She doesn't know.

She came here a few weeks back,
asking to speak to him.

I had to make some excuse
about him talking to a client.

He won that when he restored

a Georgian house on Brick Lane,
not long after he started out.

- Was he married then?
- He was funding Rachel through law school.

Talk about role reversal.

Would you say Dan
resented his wife?

He wanted her
to be proud of him.

She was meant to retire
this year.

They'd put a deposit
on a plot of land in the lake district

so, they could sell
their properties and Dan could build their dream home.

But then she got promoted.

The deposit
for the lake district plot was £25,000

and three weeks ago
Dan Callaghan got it back for £20,000 cash.

He must have known then
he needed cash in hand to pay Eddie Wade.

He'd already lost his job.
He'd pinned his hopes

on Rachel's retirement,
their future together.

She drops the bombshell
about her retirement.

He started planning her death.

Steel.

Yeah, go ahead.

Great, yeah,
thanks for letting me know.

The call that was made
to Eddie Wade,

cell site analysis places
the signal in Lavenham.

The phone was used
within 500 meters of the Callaghan's cottage.

She's gonna have to accept
it was him now.

- Have you found the phone?
- No.

And did anybody see my husband
on the phone?

No witnesses as yet.

So, it's obvious
what happened, isn't it?

Someone was following us

and they saw us loading up
the car,

and they made the call.

You said you were listening
to the radio at the time.

We'd had an argument,

and Dan went outside
to cool off.

So he did leave your side?

But I could see him

all the time through the window.

Why was he in
his running shorts?

Well, because he wears them
around the house.

What about the man who
pulled the trigger,

who put me here?

He's the one who should be
brought to justice.

- Someone hired him.
- Mum doesn't need this.

They can't get her
medication right.

They have to do more tests.
She's getting weaker by the day.

I know my husband
better than anyone.

Did you know he'd lost his job?

What?

For five weeks,

he's been pretending
to go to work.

Maybe you didn't know him
as well as you thought,

Mrs. Callaghan.

Rachel Callaghan is lying.

She knows it was him.
We told her the hard facts.

So I heard.

She wouldn't listen.

I think the general gist
sank in.

I've just heard
from the hospital.

Rachel Callaghan
has asked her doctors,

to withdraw her medication.

She wants to die.

Crown is concerned
that the initial statement

made and signed by the victim
is false.

We want the opportunity
to cross-examine Mrs. Rachel Callaghan on video.

My lady, the victim
is in a great deal of pain.

To cross-examine her
in her hospital bed

would be a terrible violation
of her privacy.

However, she is prepared

to give evidence one last time

about what happened
on the day in question.

My lady, she will simply
amend her story to put her husband in the clear.

We need the opportunity
to test this evidence

so the jury can make up
their own minds.

I've seen you play cat and mouse
in court, Mr. Steel.

You're merciless enough
on the able-bodied.

If you don't let me do this,
Dan Callaghan gets exactly what he wants,

his wife's alibi
followed by her death.

She is one of the most
powerful women in chambers,

but she's not respecting
the law. She's allowing her husband

to go unpunished,
and that's not her decision to make.

This cannot go
unchallenged, my lady.

I will allow it.

My lady, I must object.

Where would we be
without setting precedents, Mr. Wheeler?

I will be watching you.

If you push Judge Callaghan

one step too far...

I will stop proceedings.

Just think
what you're asking for.

Doctors are going to stop
her treatment, tomorrow.

She's already broken.

Then the one thing
we can salvage from this mess

is that Dan Callaghan
is locked up for what he did.

Yes, but you're gonna be
exposing her in front of her colleagues.

She's given everything
for her career.

So did I.

Having paid that price,
I wouldn't choose to lie.

Before this happened, she would
have said the same thing.

George, I promise
I'll be careful.

No matter how many times
you put this to me,

the answer is the same.

Dan didn't go out of my sight.

Somebody
must have been watching us.

Had you started loading up
the car at 11:50?

The eyewitness didn't see
any sign of you packing.

Well, there's your answer.

So how did this
mystery "someone else"

know you were leaving early?

Whose idea was it
that you park the car that day?

Mine.

You told the police
it was your husband's idea.

Why are you changing your story?

'Cause I was doped up
to the eyeballs.

Why are you protecting
your husband, Mrs. Callaghan?

Because he's innocent.

Is it fair to say
that there had been

a breakdown of communication
in your marriage?

What is your point, Mr. Steel?

Your husband couldn't tell you
he'd lost his job.

That didn't matter.

He was designing our dream home.

Did you know he'd taken back
the deposit for the plot of land

after the news
of your promotion?

Twenty thousand pounds in cash.

Spare me the shock tactics.

It's a cheap trick.

Mrs. Callaghan,
it is the exact sum of money

that the man who shot you
was promised if he killed you.

I think we should stop, my lady.

The witness
is clearly distressed.

Don't patronize me, Mr. Wheeler.

Are you all right to continue?

Yes.

Step lightly, Mr. Steel.

Mrs. Callaghan, may I remind you

that not only are you under oath
here today,

but that you also took an oath

fourteen years ago
when you became a judge.

I am fully aware of that.

Is it fair to say
that you have devoted

your life to the law?

Yes.

The law is where
your true loyalty lies,

that you've sacrificed
everything else,

home life, your relationships
with your husband,

your daughter,
your grandchildren.

I thought I was here
as a witness to the defense,

not on trial for being
a lousy wife and mother.

It is also fair to say

that I have protected
thousands of children

during my time as a judge,

and put many dangerous criminal
behind bars.

Then how can you bear

for this to be your dying act,
Mrs. Callaghan?

Lying in a court of law,
committing perjury,

allowing a crime to--

allowing the man who organized
your murder to walk free?

You've done that
by arresting the wrong man.

I'm completely at a loss.

Then we should end this now,
my lady.

- I mean, what would you do?
- I'm sorry?

What would you do
if you were me?

Imagine this was happening
to someone in your court.

Wouldn't you want justice?

Wouldn't you want that woman
to tell the truth?

Wouldn't you tell her
not to be ashamed,

remind her
that she is the victim here,

- that none of this is her fault?
- Of course.

Then please tell me the truth,
Mrs. Callaghan.

Can you be certain
that you could see your husband at 11:45

when the call was made
on the day in question?

Yes. I could see him.

I'm sure of it.

Why are you letting him get away
with this?

You have your answer, Mr. Stee--

If a high court judge
cannot be relied upon to uphold the law--

- That is enough.
- How can you betray

everything you believe in?

I'm ending
this cross examination right now.

We've taken up enough
of this witness' precious time.

I'm truly sorry,
Judge Callaghan, for everything.

Now that little exercise
has proved futile,

I expect you'll be dropping
the charges.

Not a chance.

It's fine by me.

I've got what I need
to get my client off.

- Judge Hall?
- Yes, Mr. Wheeler?

She's played right into
her husband's hands.

- Did she stick to her story?
- Yes.

You know it was your dad,
don't you?

So does she, deep down.

But she'll never admit that.

Because she can't admit it
to herself?

Maybe she feels guilty

for not seeing how unhappy
he was.

She was always so busy.

Dad spent my whole childhood,

stopping me from disturbing her.

I kept trying
to get her attention.

And so did he.

He was counting the days
to her retirement.

Do you want your dad
to be held accountable?

What I really want

is for her to see me

and my kids...

and
think we're worth living for.

Room two!
She's going into...

What's wrong? Is it mum?

She's disconnected
her dialysis machine.

Mum! Mum!

Fifty milligrams of...

You're challenging
Judge Callaghan's mental capacity as a witness?

She attempted suicide, my lady.

She is clearly far too depressed
to think rationally.

I would like her to be examined

by our psychiatrist,
Dr. Armitage.

My learned friend is resorting

to underhand tactics
to have this piece of evidence

disregarded, my lady.

Moreover,
this would be an infringement

of her human rights
in so much as it will have

a bearing on her choice
to withdraw her treatment.

The doctors have agreed
to suspend

the withdrawal of her treatment
until this issue is resolved.

My only concern is this

criminal case,
I'm afraid, Mr. Wheeler.

You have my permission
for Dr. Armitage to examine her.

She didn't answer
a single question, George.

Just looked right past him.

Dr. Armitage has recommended
that she be put on suicide watch.

I used to envy her, you know.

Always ahead of me
on the career ladder,

banging away
at the glass ceiling.

Not anymore.

There's no schadenfreude.

You shouldn't have to do this
to your role models.

I am devastated
by the responsibility of this decision,

but I feel I have no choice

but to declare
that Judge Rachel Callaghan

is not competent
to give evidence

in the case of Daniel Callaghan.

This may well have some bearing

on the court
of protection's decision

as to whether she
has the capacity

to terminate
her own treatment.

I can only hope
she will forgive me

for encroaching
on her human rights.

I should have come sooner.

Is there anything I can do?

Can you get me out of here?

Where shall we go?

1980.

The Chamber's annual ball.

We got kicked out.

Because you got me
paralytic-ally drunk.

I've haven't touched Tequila
since.

I still don't get it.

It's such
an extreme thing to do.

I mean,
maybe if she'd been unfaithful?

She was. Her work.

We've seen people crack
like this before,

"If I can't have you,
no one else will".

But those are crimes of passion,
not cold-blooded hits.

How does she deal with that?

He's just through here.

Thank you.

We intend to appeal
Judge Hall's decision.

Of course you do.
Without Judge Callaghan's evidence,

your client stands to go down
for a very long time.

Why not just divorce her?

I love her.

You've fought for people
in your condition to stay alive.

This is new for you,
but given time, you could come to terms with it.

George,
I can't control my bladder.

I mean, you tell me
what I've got to live for.

How can someone who campaigns
for human rights

be so selfish in her own life?

What's so special about you?

It's okay for anyone else
to make do but not you?

You have a future.
You have your mind.

No, not according to the court.

Not after you conspired
to rob me of my dignity.

No, you lost that
the moment you lied for Dan.

Do you know what it feels
like to

irritate someone
because you're not as quick

or as smart as they are?

I hear myself whine.

I never used to be like that.

She speaks to me
like I'm eight years old.

Now, you know he's guilty.

Otherwise you would choose
to live for his sake.

I know how much he means to you.

Then we had this awful row
about going back.

"Don't make a fuss, Dan.
I'd love to laze around

all day and drink wine,
but I'm so much better than that."

His love for me...

was the one thing,

I could rely on...

outside the law.

Then do the right thing.

Tell me the truth.

We, we had a row.

He stormed outside.

I make the call.
Throw the phone.

I burn the number.

I go back to the cottage,
and she's cross.

I'm so pumped up,
you wouldn't believe

because for once,
I'm in control.

And he was gone for about...

twenty minutes.

We get to London,

and now I want to stop it but,
I, I haven't got his number!

So, I make a wrong turning.
Pretend we're lost.

He kept getting lost

because he was deciding
whether or not...

to...

to...

She says,

"Can't you do anything right?"

I'd brought the mirror.

I got out.

It still wasn't real

till the concierge
talked about her...

And I thought, I thought,

we're not so bad, me and Rachel.

Funny thing is,

now that she needs you,
you can't be there for her.

Now that you've admitted it...

There's no need for you to die.

Yes, there is.

I want the court
of protection to declare

that I have
the necessary capacity

to terminate my treatment,

and I want you to talk to them.

Rachel...

George, it is not irrational
to want to die

when you've been
ultimately betrayed

by the person you love.

Right, I understand.

Thank you.

Is everything okay?

The court has decided
to revoke its decision.

Rachel's treatment
has been terminated.

It won't be long.

Who's with her?

She wants her husband there.
