What does Jack say he did to you?

That he raped me.

- And he didn't?
- I didn't say no.

So my question is,
can we say the "A" word here?

Are we aiming for adoption
or are we all too shy to say it?

Running man.

Eh?

- Get off me, man!
- The money.

The running man on the canal.

Why does he have your money
in his trouser pocket?

I gave it to him.

It came from a hole in the wall
the lunchtime before.

There's CCTV footage.
Can you get it for me?

Ella.

Ella! No! Ella!

Which version is it?

They can't both be true.

Stop.

Mum.

Mummy.

How often do you get that
in a jury trial?

By the way,
you did it beautifully.

If that's a word you can use

about cross-examining
a traumatized 13-year-old.

Yes, you can.

You absolutely have to be able
to say that

or you're not a proper lawyer.

What would you be?

We need to go downstairs.

You said you'd be gentle.

She was.

Did you see her shivering?

When you agreed to run
provocation,

I said there would be
consequences.

Dealing with those

and understanding
why they're a good thing...

That's responsibility,

something that was sucked out
of your life by that man.

Ella calling out for you
like she did, it's so helpful.

The jury liked it, you mean.

Helpful that they saw
my daughter shaking like...

Like...
And made to feel like a liar.

Sorry.

It's okay.

I-I was on my own all the time
in that house.

I just wanted...

Is... Is this all right?

Yeah.

Ev... Everything works.

Um, cupboards open
at just a touch.

Drawers slide in and out
very, very quietly.

There's no noise, no... no mess.

W-When we had people over,

everyone would say
what a lovely house we had,

and... and... and Joe would say
it was all down to me, but...

You know, "Actually,
it's all down to the wife,"

he'd say,
with his tongue in his cheek,

and everyone would laugh,
but it... it wasn't.

It was him. He wanted everything
white and clean and...

It was... It was all glass.

You could see around corners.
You could see through walls.

There wasn't a room...
without walls that you could...

you could just be.

It was glass.

It was all... no... no color,
no sun.

Sorry. Sorry. I'm...

What do you want to say
about the house?

I hate it!

Yeah.

Yeah.

What's happening to me?

You're talking.

He could see everything.

He knew everything I did.

That night.

What were you worried
that Joe would find out?

I went out,
and I didn't tell him.

Kate's been saying
she wants to go to court.

I've told her no.

Why didn't you tell me?

I've dealt with it.

She's not doing well at school.

It's fine.

It's just that she's trying to
support her friend and...

"Poor effort. Unfocused.
Not the usual Kate."

If you won't take it from me,
take it from them.

What do you want me to do,
kick her out?

"I'm sorry, Ella."

I know you're going through
the most traumatic experience

any child can possibly
go through,

but Kate's getting
too many bad grades,

so you'll have to go"?

Life has to go on.

All the normal things
don't just stop because of Ella.

Or your bloody Juliet.

You know what stopped me
from going mad?

Ella.

How'd you know?

You said you did it for her.

I thought I'd lose her.

Is that still going to happen?

What about my baby?

We have to get you off
on the murder.

Then it's just the manslaughter
you're sentenced for.

You said probation was possible.

You have to know
that a custodial sentence...

Eighteen months.

What?

That's how long babies can be
in the prison.

Then...

Then...

if the sentence is any longer,
I'll lose her.

I miss Ella.

Not hugging your child,
it's, um...

It's been a long time.

At the police station...

they were going to let me
see her.

They?

One of the policemen.

What happened?

He broke his promise.

When did he tell you
you could see Ella?

After you'd left.

Before the second interview.

Mm-hmm.

I was present
when she was charged

with the attempted murder
of her husband.

What was her reaction?

She asked if she could clean
her teeth.

Anything else you noticed
about her demeanor?

Earlier, there was a lot
of blood on her...

Her husband's blood...

and she was very anxious
about her nightie.

Her nightie?

What about it?

It was on the wrong way around.

And she didn't like it
like that.

It was very important to her
that it be...

the right way around.

What were you doing
just before 7:00 that morning?

I was in the canteen,
writing my notes.

You were nowhere near
the canteen.

You were down in the cells

telling Juliet Miller
she could see her daughter

if she gave you
a second interview.

No.

And it was made
very clear to her

what you wanted her to say
in that second interview.

No. Never happened.

So if we were to ask Ella

about you setting up
a chance encounter

between mother and daughter
in the cell area

to soften up an already
deeply distressed woman,

it would be amazing if she
came down on her mother's side.

It didn't happen.

Are you saying the defendant
is lying about this?

Well, there's no other
explanation I can see.

Unless, of course, it's true.

You stopped thinking

the moment Juliet Miller arrived
at the police station.

You never once countenanced
the possibility

that this woman could be
a victim of abuse

because that's not
how you ever think.

Well, actually,
it's all we do think about.

Domestic violence is right
at the front of our heads.

- So I think it's...
- Then you'll know

that abused women present
as cold and matter-of-fact

when suffering
from traumatic shock.

I'm fine-tuned
to spot a victim of abuse.

I'm telling you... Juliet Miller
is not what you think she is.

He's lying.

Yeah, and we can prove it
if Felix lets us recall Ella,

which will be hard for Juliet,
so it'd better be her decision.

Yes.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Fine. Why?

I'm fine-tuned to spot a victim
of a classy performance

in the witness box.

And put Ella on standby
for a recall.

- Only standby?
- Yeah.

I don't want her to be here
any longer than she needs to be.

Or you haven't had instructions
from Mum yet.

The Bible or affirming?

The Bible.

Is it right that the drugs squad

were carrying out
a surveillance operation

on the Regent's Canal
between January and March?

Yes.

Mm. And do you have
the surveillance log with you?

Yes.

Can you look at the entry
for March 9th?

You're not looking at it.

I know what it says.

Is there reference to
someone labeled RM in the log?

- Yes.
- Who is that?

That's Joe Miller...
Running Man.

And is there reference

to someone labeled "J"
in the log?

- Yes.
- Who is that?

A drug dealer working the canal.

And is there contact
between RM and J on March 9th?

3:47 p.m...

The log says RM stopped
and talked to J

and something was passed
between them.

Is it right
that £620 in £20 notes

was found in the pocket of Joe
Miller the night he was stabbed?

Yes.

Is there a point
to this, Ms. Klein,

or are you just throwing mud
around?

Thank you, Your Honor,
for your... guidance.

We will return to this
with another witness.

Were you in the police station
at 6:55 a.m.

on the morning of March 10th?

Yes.

Did you see D.I. Sexton?

Yes.

What did you have to eat?

I'm sorry?

Well, Sexton tells us
he was in the canteen

between 6:30 and 7:30,
writing up his notes.

That's where you must have seen
him... at 6:55.

It must have been.

I don't need to remind you
that you are still under oath.

No, you don't.

I lost an hour for you.

- I know. Thank you.
- You made me lie on oath.

- It wasn't me.
- Of course it was you.

I had to corroborate your lie.

It's your choice.
You could have gone either way.

Us and them, boss,
whether you like it or not.

But when it comes right down
to it on oath, you're one of us.

I was upstairs
in the bedroom with Joe.

I went downstairs.

I got a knife from the kitchen.

I came back upstairs with it.

What did you intend to do
with the knife?

Use it.

Now, would you please help
the jury

by telling us about the tone
of the defendant in interview?

Matter-of-fact.

Thank you.

Have you discussed your evidence
with your husband?

Yes.

Yes?

All police officers do it, and
then they pretend they haven't.

So when did you first discuss
the investigation

with your husband?

Well, we were together
at the police station

on the first night.

And did you see him around
7:00 a.m. the following morning?

Yes.

Where?

The cell area.

Yeah. 6:55 a.m.

You're able to be very precise.

My life is full of shifts
and... and notebooks.

You know, time matters.

I'm never wrong about it.

Anyone who suggested that
your husband was in the canteen

at this precise moment in time
would be a liar?

My mum has this expression...
"pants on fire."

Meaning liar?

Yeah. Exactly.

Brilliant.

- Brilliant!
- Yes.

Police officers can tell lies,

and it always helps
for a jury to remember that.

The much bigger question

is why Jane Grady is grassing up
Juliet on the rape.

What's in it for her?
Where are you going?

One thing solicitors almost
always, always do wrong.

What's that?

We spend our lives
reacting to prosecution evidence

and not enough time
gathering our own.

Lying doesn't bother you, then?

What percentage of defendants
who stand trial are guilty...

As in they did it?

90%? Maybe more?

You ask any brief out there
off the record,

they'd agree with that.

- Does lying bother you?
- How many of them get off? No.

That's what I need to know,
Chris.

At least half.

Yeah. So you know what?

I'm not really gonna feel that
bad about playing the game hard.

No. But you are playing God.

So if you'd known
what the party line was...

would you have lied?

Would you?

You lied, sir.

Why?

Because your husband doesn't
deserve to lose his career

over this.

He's a good police officer
doing his job.

It doesn't make him a good man,
though, does it?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm quite pregnant,
but I'm fine.

You haven't told him.

Why not, Flo?

'Cause I don't want to.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?!

Are you tired?

Let's go home, eh?

Come on.

I'm not coming home.

How do you know?

I went to her house.

Jane never said anything
about having a child.

- Did you ask?
- Yes.

- What did she say?
- She said she didn't.

Well, she would say that,
wouldn't she?

- How old is she?
- Twelve, thirteen.

She said that she wasn't raped
by her husband.

She couldn't have been
more clearer.

Are you a liar?

Why?

Did you tell the defendant
that you have no children?

- Yeah.
- Is that true?

- No.
- No.

So you denied yourself
any contact with your daughter

whilst you were on remand?

Yeah. Six months.

'Cause if she would've visited,

then the authorities
would've found out.

Well, you must have missed her
a great deal.

Yeah, I did.

After six months, it must have
been almost unbearable for you.

So you gave a statement to
the police about Juliet Miller,

and two days later,
you were released on bail.

Mm.

You'd do anything
for your daughter,

wouldn't you?

Yeah, I would.

Lying to the police
about a fellow prisoner

must have come very easily
to you.

So I'm telling the truth.

She knows it.

Ask her.

Joe Miller was the truest,

best, most decent human being
I ever met.

And I can't stand it
that he's dead,

and I will not stand by here
and have his name taken in vain.

What was he doing with £620
in his trouser pocket

the day he was stabbed?

I gave it to him.

Do you usually carry that kind
of money around with you?

Between you, me,
and these four walls, yes.

One of the notes found in Joe's
pocket has fingerprints on it

belonging to a known drug dealer
on the Regent's Canal.

And that's what you're
trying to pin on Joe?

His daughter's outside.

Bring her in here. Go on.

Put it to me in front of her

that her father was involved
in drugs.

What's the matter, darling?
You ain't got the balls?

- It's what you do, isn't it?
- What?

Avoid answering the question
by asking one back.

You want me to answer
your question?

Yes, please.

I gave him the £600.

And when it stops being
an exhibit in his trial,

it will be going to the charity
it was intended for.

It's part of your job to lie,
isn't it?

You protect your people, and
you don't care how you do it.

And just because Joe Miller
is dead,

it doesn't stop you lying
for him.

Bank statement. March 9th.

£600 withdrawal
from the hole in the wall

'round the corner
from the chambers.

Timed, dated.

Yours, so.

He was running
the London Marathon

for the prostate cancer charity.

'Cause that's the kind of man
he was.

And I sponsored him...
2620s, plus Gift Aid.

Only secret he ever had from me.

What secret?

- Do I have to say?
- Yes.

He was running
for the 10,000 men

who die of that cancer
every year in this country.

And he was running for me.

Nice.

Is that the right word?

Everyone loves a victim.

What? I'm making it up?

Excuse me.
I've got to take a piss.

Shit!

Shameless opportunism...
Is that a fair description

of what the jury are making
of that?

Oh, you knew about this.

What's Ella doing here?

We might need her again.

Did you see her shaking
after the last time?

So opportunism
and heartlessness.

Jury are gonna love you.

I don't know where you lot get
the front.

He's right.

There's a woman
on the front row.

Every time I stand up,
she folds her arms.

Jury are not with us, Jack.

We have to get something
out of Ella.

Do you think she should go
to prison?

I can't say, Ella.
It wouldn't be fair of me.

But what do you think?

Did you see your mum
at the police station?

Yes.

So anyone suggesting otherwise
would be lying?

Did my Mum say
she didn't see me?

No. She said she did see you.

D.I. Sexton said
she didn't see you.

So which one
is telling the truth?

I don't know. I can't remember.

Do you think your mum is lying?

She killed my dad.

He was so nice to her.

You can't know that.

You weren't with them
all the time.

For example, you can't know
what happened between them

in their bedroom.

But I can. I do know.

What do you know?

He said nice things to her
in the bedroom.

- Like "I love you"?
- Yes.

I'm sorry, Ella, but...
you want to believe it,

so your mind makes you feel
like it's true.

I heard it.

How did you hear it?

I sat on the stairs.

I used to sit on the stairs.

Did you hear anything else?

Yes.

What did you hear?

He said it really softly.

What did he say?

"Roll over."

"Roll over, baby."

We can't hear you, Ella.

"Roll over."

"Roll over, baby."

Please!
I don't want this! Please!

Mrs. Miller, please.

My lord, I really must object.

Ella, you need to say it louder
for the jury.

We need to hear
what she has to say.

What's happening?

Ella, you need to say it
one more time for the jury.

Please. Stop.

"Roll over. Roll over, baby."

Ella? I love you.

Ella. Ella, please.

Shh.

We'd better have the jury out.

- Will the jury retire?
- Mummy.

I love you.

It's okay.

I love you.

It'll be all right.

What did Ella mean?

Hmm?

Okay.

You had a shower
just before Joe got home.

Why?

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

Joe knew you'd had a shower.
Was that why he was angry?

Where's Anna?

- You knew he'd be angry.
- Jack.

When did you find out
you were pregnant?

Hmm?

Was it that day?

Mm.

Well, why would that
make him angry?

How'd you do that to your hand?

It's the burn from the dishes.
It's... It's gone funny.

After all these months?
That's not true, is it?

Why are you doing this?

This is not half of what they'll
do in cross-examination.

You have to be ready.

Why was Joe angry that night?

Come on.

Come on!

I...

We haven't talked about the
life insurance on the computer.

Yeah.

I know how low you can get
when your life is not your own.

It was you on the computer,
wasn't it?

And I think I know why.

I'm right, aren't I?

Don't tell anyone.

Promise.

I've believed in you
from the start.

This is the end now.

This is where you do it
for yourself.

Anything from her
on the life insurance?

- Nothing.
- They'll know, won't they?

If I don't bring it up in chief,

Nick will go for her
in cross-examination.

Then Juliet will be forced
to deal with it.

There's something
you should see.

Cheers.

Why did you love him?

He was funny and warm.

And he made me feel like

the most important person
in his life.

And then he'd turn.

He'd pick on something I'd done
or hadn't done.

It was so hard trying to do
the right thing all the time,

every single minute,

and trying to work out
what the right thing was.

So what would happen when he...
when he turned?

He'd be angry.

And was he angry
the night it all happened?

Yes.

Was he ever angry with Ella?

No.

- With you in front of Ella?
- No.

So she never saw him hurt you.

He... He didn't hit me.

But in a way, I wish he had,

because then it would have been
clear.

I'd have known exactly
what it was he was doing.

You see, I-I'd see him
with Ella, and, um...

I couldn't see it.

How could he hide it so well?

And then I started to think
I was going mad.

- And do you think he knew that?
- What?

That you thought
you were going mad.

He knew everything about me
all of the time.

Do you think he wanted you mad?

Uh, leading question.

Rephrase it, please.

- He told me.
- What?

He said, "You're not very well,
and it's going to get worse.

But don't worry, because we're
going to look after you."

Who did he mean by "we"?

Him and... Ella.

Thank you.

Who instigated sex
the night Joe died?

I did.

How?

We were in the bedroom.

Yes. How?

I touched him.

Where?

So you aroused your husband?

Yes.

This is your reaction to being
frightened of him, is it?

Is your daughter a liar?

Well, she told us she heard Joe
say that he loved you.

So you can't both be right,
can you?

So I'm going to ask you again...
Is your daughter a liar?

No.

No. It doesn't fit
with your story, does it?

Your claim to victimhood
doesn't fit with a husband

who tells you he loves you
moments before you stab him.

I'm going to come back
to what happened in the bedroom.

But, uh, first I want to ask you
about afterwards.

You went downstairs?

Yes.

Put a coat on?

I thought I might be cold.

You thought you might be cold.

And all the while Joe was lying
bleeding upstairs?

Did you think
he was going to die?

That's why I came
to the hospital.

An hour and a half later, yes.

Where had you been?

I'd been walking in the park.

I didn't know what to do.

Did you think about Ella

and what she might be doing?

You don't understand.

I understand that you
left your 13-year-old daughter

alone with her grievously
wounded father.

Did Joe see the knife
you'd brought into bed with you?

No.

Why not?
It had a seven-inch blade.

I'd... hidden it.

Was hiding the knife something
you thought about doing

while you were sitting
in the bedroom all that time?

I suppose so.

So there was nothing spontaneous
about your actions, was there?

Everything you did
was a calculated decision.

God knows you took your time,
Juliet Miller.

No. There...

Not easy maneuvering yourself
in bed to get the force needed

to drive the knife into the body
so hard that it stays there.

How did you do that?

I can't explain.

Then why don't you show us?

No.

Why not?

I was just so frightened.

You keep telling us
about being frightened

and the danger you
supposed yourself to be in.

Why didn't you leave?

Why come back upstairs?

Why not walk out the door?

Was anybody stopping you?

Why not leave when you were
sitting in the bedroom

all that time,
thinking that Joe was asleep?

So many opportunities
to just walk away.

I had nowhere to go.

The park, the police station,
the Rose house.

And what would I have said?

You mean it would have been
awkward?

Embarrassing?

So you chose sticking a knife
in your husband's abdomen

over social embarrassment.

Why did you choose this knife
over this one...

or this one?

Grip? Size? Sharpness?

Which is the sharpest
of the three knives?

Thank you.

Hold it up so the jury can see,
will you?

Which has the longest blade?

This one.

Which knife did you choose?

This one.

Thank you.

The other two knives were found
lined up on the kitchen counter.

Did the murder weapon form
a part of this lineup?

Yes.

So you lined them up to look at?

Pretty clear rational
decision-making process,

wouldn't you say?

Did the shoes you put on before
leaving the house have laces?

Yes.

- Did you tie the laces?
- Yes.

Yes. Which coat did you wear?

My gray one.

Sure?

It was under another coat
in the coat cupboard.

Whose?

Joe's.

You tied your laces,

you picked out your coat
from under your husband's,

you put his coat back
in the cupboard,

you put your coat on...

a matter of moments after
you'd stuck a seven-inch blade

in your husband's abdomen

and then left
your 13-year-old daughter alone

to deal with the horrors
you had brought about.

What kind of a woman are you?

I'm tidy.

Tidy people check their
insurance policies, don't they?

On the computer.

5:01 p.m. on Monday, March 9th,

just hours before you gave
your husband the knife wound

that caused his death...
Is that you on the computer?

Juliet Miller.

No. The court needs a record
of your evidence.

You have to say the word,
please.

Yes.

We'll take a short break.

Anna.

Um, might I have a moment
to take instructions, my lord?

You have to go for her.

Really go for her.
Really push her.

This has to be
a cross-examination,

- not a re-examination.
- Ms. Klein.

First question, ask
what she took from the house.

I can't. It hasn't come out
of cross-examination.

- Yes, Ms. Klein?
- Yes, it has.

He went on about her shoelaces,
about her coat.

- Just do it and trust me.
- Now, Ms. Klein.

What did you take with you
when you left the house?

- I threw it away.
- What was it?

Why are you doing this?

What was it?

Vaseline.

Was it yours?

- No.
- Joe's?

What did he use it for?

- Well, why take it with you?
- Can I have a break?

Why were you looking at the
life insurance on the computer?

I wanted to know what there
would be for Ella if I was...

If you what?

If I wasn't here.

Well, why would you not be?

I couldn't do it anymore.

Do what?

What couldn't you do?

What he was doing to me.

And what was that, Juliet?

Juliet, what does
"Roll over, baby" mean?

Juliet?

He was buggering me!

Was that always what happened?

Yes.

Did you have
normal sexual intercourse?

No.

- Was it against your will?
- Yes.

And how did that make you feel?

It hurt.

And it felt like he hated me.

Like I was worthless.

And then, this night or...

this time, he was so angry.

Um, what have you done
to your hand?

- I've cut it.
- How? Accidentally?

No.

What? Deliberately?

It makes the pain better.

What pain?

The pain inside...
The pain inside better.

Juliet, tell us what happened

when you got back into bed
with Joe that night.

I can't.

You can.

You have to.

I lay down on my front
next to him.

I closed my eyes.

I felt him climbing
on top of me.

I had the knife
underneath the pillow.

He pulled my legs apart.

I was going to lie down
on the knife.

I was going to turn it
and point it

and let myself down onto it.

But I couldn't.

My baby...

was inside me,
and of course I couldn't.

And then something snapped.

And it was suddenly
the only way.

What did you do?

I turned my head to the side.

I saw him close his eyes.

I slipped the knife out
from underneath the pillow,

and I drove it back and up
and into him

as hard as I could.

It went in so easily.

Juliet, when you were in
the police station,

why did you want to turn
your nightie around?

It had his blood
on the back of it.

I didn't want anyone to know
how he'd hurt me.

Why not?

I feel ashamed.

Anal sex
and no normal intercourse.

Really?

Yes.

The evidence that you're a liar

is in the mother-and-baby unit
at the prison.

She isn't his.

What did you say?

The baby.

She's not Joe's.

You didn't tell me.

You knew
about the suicide business,

and you kept it from me.

I promised Juliet
I wouldn't tell anyone.

- So you chose her over me?
- Why are you talking about this?

She just got the truth out,
didn't she?

She wouldn't have without me.

And the truth is
she was unfaithful to him.

The baby isn't his.
The truth is bloody killing us!

There are nine women
on this jury.

I know what I'm doing.
I'm saving her life.

Tell me.

Once.

When?

Months ago.

You're the father.

Oh, my God.

Go to court
and tell them the truth.

You don't mean that.

Somebody has to tell the truth.

It was just once,
over a year ago.

You're her doctor.

Yes.

You knew
all about her mental condition.

Yes.

So this was a complete breach
of trust.

Yes, it was.

Did she come to your house?

Yes.

Did she call you
to make the arrangement?

Yes.

She was supposed to be depressed
at the time?

She was depressed.

I felt sorry for her.

She instigated the meeting?

Yes.

And when she got there,
who made the first move?

She did.

Thank you.

I-It was my responsibility.

She was vulnerable,
and she needed help.

I took advantage of her.

It's my fault, not hers.

I will always be sorry
for what I have done.

Go back to the jury room,

examine the evidence,
and consider your verdict.

Shh, shh, shh, shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh.

It's okay.

It'll be all right.

Will the foreman please stand?

Have the jury reached a verdict
upon which you are all agreed?

Yes.

Do you find the defendant
guilty or not guilty of murder?

Not guilty.

Systematic. Cruel.

Extraordinarily creative.

The abuse
this defendant suffered

at the hands of this man

was directed at taking away
her entire identity.

This was extreme
emotional control

exercised over a long period.

And, in the defendant's
own words,

it was there all the time.

I ask my lord to take
into account the level of abuse

when considering sentence.

I ask my lord
to take into account

this woman's good character

and the period this woman
has already spent in prison

with a very young baby.

Juliet Miller has two children.

There is nothing to say

she won't become a good mother
to them

once she's free from the trauma
she has suffered.

Give this woman
and her daughters a future.

Will the defendant please stand?

You have been found not guilty
of murder,

a verdict with which
I entirely agree.

I have had
the very great benefit

of listening to all the evidence
in this case,

and it has helped me
a great deal

in considering the sentence I
must now pass for manslaughter.

I take into account

all the mitigation put forward
on your behalf

and your plea of guilty.

I reduce the sentence
accordingly.

I have to tell you
that I consider this crime

to be right at one end of the
spectrum in cases of this kind.

And I have therefore decided

that you will go to prison
for five years.

You will serve half of this term

before being released
on license.

This... This is too long.

My baby.

Please rise.

I'm sorry.

Mommy loves you.

Beautiful little baby.

It's not time.

It's almost quarter past.

It's not time.

We wait.

Shh.
