We weren't thinking straight,
we just wanted to go home.

I did not strangle Hannah.
I wasn't ever there.

Dhillon did not send
threatening texts,

it was not his scarf
that caused Hannah's death.

Dhillon Harwood accepts
that he was there

but blames Talitha
for the actual death.

Hannah was strangled with
the scarf worn by Talitha Campbell

to the ball that night.

This is a moment where Dhillon has
the scarf in his possession.

Put all that ball footage back
in the schedule.

What ball footage is that then?

In every single piece
of evidence Talitha is shown

to be wearing the scarf.

A fragment from the rucksack
was found on a bracelet

worn by Talitha Campbell.

We have to nullify that bracelet.

They're obviously going to suggest
that Talitha plus bracelet

plus rucksack came together
on a previous date.

Lydia Vendler is the game changer.

My husband told me Talitha had
discussed her fantasies with him,

which involved killing another girl
during sex.

She's done for.

Tell me now.

If you have to.

This is your chance.

Tell me now.

I've told you everything, Mum.

There's nothing more to say.

Just stay calm
and don't let them provoke you.

I love you.

I'm so sorry
I've put you through this.

Tell the truth, Dhillon.

It's all that you can do.

I do solemnly,

sincerely and truly declare

and affirm that the evidence
I shall give shall be the truth,

the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.

You and Miss Campbell were
best friends?

Yes.

Had you ever had
a physical relationship?

No. I mean...
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Not really, no.

But would you agree with an earlier
witness that you were inseparable?

We pretty much always hung
out together.

When you applied to
the same university,

was it so that you could preserve
that friendship?

Yeah. We did apply
to different colleges in Oxford

but we didn't get in.

You have listened carefully to
the evidence from

the Stephen Vendler letter?

Yes.

The jury have now seen

the contents of Stephen Vendler's
letter to his wife.

Did you ever discuss
with Miss Campbell

her killing somebody during sex?

I can't lie...

..Talitha never said anything
like that.

She never mentioned killing a girl
as a sexual fantasy?

Absolutely not,
I don't believe that.

What about strangling,
choking in general?

I mean, she was definitely into
that whole femdom thing a bit.

Femdom being female domination.

Yeah.

I never thought it was
more than just game playing.

Now, you have said to the police,

and the jury have heard
your interview,

that Talitha chose to use her scarf
during sex with Hannah?

Yeah.

I mean, I was pretty high
at the time

so I wasn't so aware
of that because....

I couldn't see Talitha so well
because of my own...

Your own?

Position.

Did you have any part
in the strangulation?

No.

Did you assist with
the disposal of the body?

Yes, I did.

Why, if you had nothing
to do with it?

Why didn't you call an ambulance?

It's something I ask myself
all the time as well.

Erm... But like I say,
I was really drunk

and I'd taken quite a lot of drugs

so I wasn't really thinking
properly.

And also, Talitha...

Talitha?

Ever since school that was
kind of the pattern.

We would get into trouble
and out of trouble,

it was something we did together.

Did you ever try to get away
from Miss Campbell?

No.

Why would I want to?

She's a one-off, a total original,
I've always loved that about her.

Would it be fair to say

that you and Miss Campbell enjoyed
pushing boundaries?

I think that would be fair.

And even when we were in a panic

and Talitha said we had to put
the body in the water...

I'm sorry, Dhillon,
Talitha said you had to?

What...? Oh, yeah, I see what you...

No, I mean, erm...

It could have been
that we should do it.

I'm not trying to suggest that...

It's OK, carry on.

So there was a sense...

A sense of what?

That none of it was real.

You described to the police

a "fugue state"
in the following days.

That's just a kind of shorthand.
I felt...

There are no words for it really.

Mr Harwood, do you regret
your actions that night?

Absolutely.

And I know I have to pay the price
for it.

I swear to God I didn't kill Hannah.

I swear on my mother's life
and she's sitting watching me now.

So, Mr Harwood, you've spoken about
your anxiety issues

and how you feel compelled
to follow Talitha.

Those weren't my words.

Yes, Ms Hemmings,
we can do without the synopsis.

Of course.

Let me make the questions
very specific.

Whose idea was it to go to the ball?

Both of ours.

And whose idea was it to go
and visit Hannah after the ball?

I think that was Tally.

You think?

I don't remember,
it was just a conversation.

It just sort of happened.

Who provided the date-rape drug
found in Hannah's body?

The what? GHB. The chems.

The drug often used
to incapacitate victims.

Hannah did.
INCREDULOUSLY: Hannah did?

Yes.

She was a normal person,

she took drugs just like
everybody else

and chems aren't only
to incapacitate.

Well...

You seem to have played no active
role in anything that night.

You were just there.

Ms Hemmings.

We have heard your claim that you
were performing oral sex on Hannah

while Talitha was positioned
behind her

using the scarf to deny her air.

Yes.

Was there ever any discussion
of a release word?

Not that I can remember.

We have heard from expert witnesses

that the process of death
from strangulation

requires sustained pressure
for a few minutes.

You didn't notice?

No struggling,

no evidence that she was fighting
for her life?

When did you first realise
there was a problem?

Talitha started saying
Hannah's name.

I could tell she was panicking
so then, you know...

..I stopped as well.

And realising your friend
had just choked a girl to death,

you only had one option really?

I wasn't thinking straight.

Oh, come on!

Dhillon, this is a pack of lies,
isn't it?

Ms Hemmings.

Any decent person...

..with even average intelligence
would have phoned an ambulance.

You went to Hannah's room alone,
didn't you? No.

Somehow you got hold
of Talitha's scarf. No.

And you used it to murder
a young girl

who had denied you access
to her body

and made a very serious complaint
against you.

I didn't.

You are not a victim.

You are a cold and calculating
misogynistic killer.

Ms Hemmings.

It's not true. None of it's true.

Please disregard that,
ladies and gentlemen.

You don't smoke any more.

No. Why I haven't lit it.

NISHA CHUCKLES

This is hard.

I look at her, Hannah's mum,
and I think...

It'll sound awful.

You're facing a terrible loss
as well.

All those years.

The family holidays.

The orthodontist.

The ice cream treats.

All the innocence.

So, what do you think?

Of what?

Of Dhillon's performance.

"Oh, I swear on my mum's life.

"I still love Talitha."

What do you think?

Well, I could never have believed
that he would betray me like that.

He's so calm about it.

And it's not as if you had a lot of
time to assess his character.

That's mean, Cleo.

Yeah.

Yeah...

It was a bit.

Prosecution's turn tomorrow.

Emma went quite hard on him today.

I don't like her.

How come? She's great.

I don't know.
When it's me up there, I want you.

That's not... I'm junior counsel.

It has to be you.

SHE SIGHS

I'll talk to Emma.

No promises.

Look, we can do this the easy way
or we can do it the hard way.

It's this one.

MUSIC PLAYS ON RECORDING

Did Cassidy tell you to bury this?

Well, this is hours before
the murder.

Did Cassidy tell you
not to disclose this?

She said she didn't think
it was relevant, and on balance...

Footage of the scarf being passed
between Talitha and Dhillon?

Footage of him actually wearing
the scarf

and not visibly returning it to her?

Well, what do you want to do
about it?

HE SIGHS

In your police interview,
Mr Harwood,

you said that you had sex
with Hannah Ellis before the ball.

Yes, I did.

That was a lie, wasn't it?

Yes.

You told Lucinda Bright
that you were wearing

a condom when you weren't.

Well... That was a lie, wasn't it?

It was a misunderstanding.

You told the police that the fire

on which you were
actually burning evidence

was because you did your best
thinking staring into the flames.

OK, so what you're doing is making
a big list of things

that aren't exactly true.

Lies.

So that your next question can be

"You're a habitual liar,
aren't you?"

You'll put me out of a job.

I was confused and frightened.

Let me take you back to Hannah.

Originally, you and Miss Campbell
and Hannah were friends?

Yes.

But suddenly Hannah made a complaint
about you to Stephen Vendler?

Tally said she had done.

And did Miss Campbell know
what the complaint was about?

Erm... That I was harassing her.

What were you harassing her for?

I didn't think I was at the time.

Looking back...

Sex?

I thought...

I thought...

I thought I'd fallen in love
with her.

You thought you had?

And how did this possibility
of being in love manifest itself?

I called her a lot.

I get stressed if somebody doesn't
return a call

and I think they hate me
or I've done something wrong.

You called her a lot? That's it?

Sometimes I would, you know,

turn up at places
and try and talk to her.

Stalking her?
I wouldn't call it stalking.

Another "misunderstanding" perhaps.

And what was it about Hannah
that you thought you loved?

She was different from
a lot of other students

because of her background.

And did it make you angry
that this girl

from a more humble background
you were idealising

was rejecting you,

a kid who had always had pretty much
anything he wanted?

It made me sad.

What about Miss Campbell?
Do you know what made her angry?

You'll have to ask her.
I certainly will.

But she must have said something
to you?

She said that Hannah was using
the complaint

to get closer to Vendler
because she had a thing for him.

Hannah did? Yes.

So...

..you were in love with Hannah,

or at least you thought
you might be...

Are you going to keep doing that
sarcastic thing about that?

And in turn Hannah allegedly
had "a thing" for a tutor

who was sleeping with Talitha.

I don't know if Hannah had a thing
for Vendler or not.

Well, you just said that
Miss Campbell told you that she did.

It doesn't make it true,
we're not joined at the hip.

Oh.

Oh, I thought the whole basis
of your defence was precisely that.

Where she leads you follow, etc.

It's a strange way to treat
a funny, clever girl

that you thought you might love,

putting her in a sleeping bag
and throwing it in the river.

You are right, it's terrible
and inexplicable.

I don't dispute that it is terrible,
Mr Harwood,

but it is explicable because
you murdered her, didn't you? No.

Was it because she didn't return
your "love"

and instead complained about
the way you chose to manifest it

through stalking and harassment? No.

And you thought that this time
somebody might actually listen

to your accuser? No!

No more questions.

You decided what you're gonna do?

I'd never be able to work with
the police in this town again.

But do you still think that
Talitha Campbell did it? Yes.

But evidence that Dhillon had
the scarf

during the ball would help
her defence.

Golden rule, right?

His story is rubbish

and hers is reliant on
too many "yeah-but-what-ifs".

Why couldn't the stupid drunken cops

have kept their stupid drunken
mouths shut.

Yeah, but would that really have
made any difference?

Yes, because ignorance is bliss.

And I wouldn't have to make
this decision again.

It was different last time.

I don't think Cleo would agree
with you.

I let her do the right thing
and she was punished for it.

Babe, I'm not going to tell you
what to do,

you have to do what you think
is right,

but this is one of the most
important cases

you have ever handled

and part of what's right -
for me that is -

is us.

Ugh, Dean, every time!

Just hoof it
into the fucking stands!

SHE LAUGHS

See. There's your answer
right there.

My questions might bring us to
a place where we have to tackle

events in your childhood.

No.

It's difficult, I know.
TALITHA SIGHS

Won't they think...

Lady Tease strangles Hannah
in revenge for her own...

Abuse.

Whatever.

No, not whatever.

Still, though,

abused becomes abuser, etc, etc.

I've given it a lot of thought

and I know I can create
the opposite effect for the jury.

I can't.

I can't fake things, Cleo.

I mean, I can, of course I can,
but I can't...

SHE SIGHS
..be somebody different.

Be yourself.

Be myself?

You sure about that?

Be yourselves then.

Be your selves.

Wow.

You are deep, Cleo.

I know that.

Listen to me.

They've attacked your character
over and over again.

They have weaponised your gender,

your class and your sexual history
against you,

the Dhillon defence,

the Vendler letter -

everyone who is following the case
in the country

knows you as Lady Tease.

We must break that if we're
to stand a chance at winning this.

REPORTER: As the trial for Hannah
Ellis's murder enters its 12th day,

it's believed that
Talitha Campbell's legal team

will call her to give evidence.

Miss Campbell has so far maintained
that she simply went home...

Cleo.

Oh. Hey.

Don't say I don't do nothing
for you.

Triple negative good going.

Good.

These are good.

I had to use all my charm.
SHE LAUGHS

Talk about sending someone naked
into battle.

And a bit of cash.

Thank you.

Cleo.

That thing,

Talitha, the stuff that happened...

I do hope you're not
going to warn me.

Do it.

Who is this, Miss Campbell?

That's me and Hannah.

Where was it taken?

At the Green Man festival last year.

SHE LAUGHS
That top's loud.

Is your rucksack
in the picture there?

I can't tell.

How about Hannah Ellis's rucksack?

Again, I can't tell
but they must have been.

Did you handle
Hannah Ellis's rucksack?

No idea.

Might you have done?

Oh, I might have done, yeah.

It was all a bit messy there
for a while.

I don't remember having done so.

What does this picture show?

It's me.

And what is that on your wrist?

My bracelet.

It was a gift from my grandmother.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is the same bracelet that
the prosecution claim contains

a micro fragment from
Hannah's Ellis's rucksack.

These photos were all taken
in the same place.

Yeah. All at the Green Man Festival.

So at the time these photos
were taken,

were you and Hannah Ellis friends?

Sure.

At the time of the ball,
were you still friends?

No.

Why not?

I went off her.
It wasn't a big deal.

Why did you go off her?

Well, partly she was always going on
about how she didn't have privilege,

and state schools,
and I was just, "Oh bore off, love,

"you're at an elite university now,
just get over it already."

SHE CHUCKLES

And...

..well, then we had a row

because of the stuff that she was
saying about Dhillon.

Did you send her abusive texts?

Yeah, that was dumb

but I was just drunk
and being an idiot.

And she could give it back,
believe me.

OK, let me just take you back to
the night of the ball.

What happened to the scarf?

I don't remember.
You really have no idea?

None whatsoever.
I lost it somewhere.

OK.

If you can't remember,
you can't remember.

I remember that
the Ferris wheel was really cool

and I definitely had it then
because I was messing about with it,

but I was still quite sober then.

What happened after
the Ferris wheel?

We took some more drugs, we danced,

we did the whole ball thing.

At some point I crashed out
in the chill-out zone

and then Dhillon came
and said that we had to go.

And?

And we went. We walked home.

Did you go to Hannah Ellis's. No.

Did you suggest "having a word"
with her? No.

Sorting her out?
Getting Troy to sort her out?

No.

Did Mr Harwood?

No.

Did he discuss her at all?

I don't remember.

Maybe.

Because we saw her at the ball

and she called me
a silver-spooned whore again,

I do remember that.

All right.

At this point, did you still have
your scarf with you?

I wasn't sure I still had my face
with me, to be honest.

Can you tell me how much money
you've taken from your parents

since you've been at college?

None. I supported myself.

How?

I did some sex work
like a lot of girls at college,

but other stuff too.

And they called you Lady Tease?

That was just a joke.

A friend called me that,
I don't really mind.

What about being called
a silver-spooned whore?

Yeah, that annoyed me,

but, as I said,
Hannah could dish it out too.

Do you enjoy strangling people
during sex?

I don't know, I haven't tried it.

And I've tried most things
I want to.

So...

..Mr Harwood is lying about that,
is he?

He's lying about everything.

Have you ever used your scarf
to strangle someone during sex?

No.

Have you ever engaged in any kind
of consensual sexual activity

involving humiliation or role-play?

Yes.

But with the sex work,

so it was usually me being
humiliated,

also it depends what you mean
by consensual.

That you or others agree by choice
and critically...

..that you or others are free
to make that choice.

Yes.

Mostly.

Mostly?

It might help if I reminded you
that before someone is 16 years old

they cannot be deemed
to give consent.

You know.

You've always known.

I would like you to tell the court.

What's the point?

It's just going to sound like...

Don't worry about how things sound.

Just remember the importance
of telling the truth.

My mother had these parties...

..and sometimes I went
to those parties.

How old were you then?

14.

No, 15.

And what happened at these parties?

I had sex with most of
the men there.

You were raped
by most of the men there.

Legally I suppose, yeah.

There's no suppose about it.

Did your mother know what
was happening?

She watched.

And how did that make you feel?

I don't know.

Do you think it affected you?

I don't do "blame the parents".

Sure...

..but do you think it changed you
in some way?

Maybe.

I mean, I think I would always
have been a bit of a brat.

When I'm stressed I sing to myself.

It helps with my breathing.

It's a French nursery rhyme that
I learned when I was a little girl.

I know that the singing started
around the time of the parties,

so...

..you know...

..maybe.

I mean, afterwards my mum always
said that...

..that I'd enjoyed it,

that I'd demanded to go to
the parties,

and maybe that's true.

I don't... I don't know any more.

Oh, that's a very old trick
of abusers.

That is not a question, is it,
Ms Roberts?

No. It absolutely isn't.

No further questions, My Lady.

Wait.

You said the whole truth, right?

Nothing but the truth?

Always.

My mother also abused me
at those parties.

She...

..performed sex acts on me
for their benefit.

REPORTER: There were
many revelations

in Bristol Central Crown Court
today

as Talitha Campbell alleged
she had been the victim

of repeated childhood sexual abuse,

both orchestrated
and committed by her mother,

socialite Lady Cressida Campbell.

REPORTER: ..reports of
Talitha Campbell's allegations

in court today, there has been
an outpouring of sympathy for her

on social media.

The police have declined...
Still doesn't mean she's innocent.

No. It doesn't.

Maybe she was so fucked up by it
that she just...you know.

Yeah, that interpretation was
a risk for Cleo

but actually she got
a lot of sympathy for it.

Yeah. Yours too
by the sounds of it. She was abused.

How would you not have sympathy
for her? Maybe she was lying.

But she turned down plenty
of opportunities to lie

when it would have suited her
to do so.

Cleo's smart. Maybe she coached her.

I've asked them to drain the lake
if I don't return.

I had no idea.

About the last part anyway.

I didn't know about that either.

She told me you were mostly away.

If I didn't rebuild her character,
she was finished. It's done.

And it helped her.

I could tell from the jury reaction.

I want to see her now.

You owe me that, Cleo.

I'll fix it.

Ask for her forgiveness.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, James. Hi, Cleo.

Look there is a disclosure issue
that you should be aware of.

OK.

Who initiated your relationship
with Stephen Vendler?

Do you mean who finally slipped
the move?

Yes.

I did.

But you know he was
literally wearing a sandwich board

with an arrow pointing.

And how long did it last?

It was on and off really.

He'd usually call me
and if I felt like it.

So it was during one of these times
that you "felt like it"

that he told you that Hannah Ellis
was making a complaint

about your best friend
Dhillon Harwood.

Correct. And that made you angry.

Yeah.

Why?

Because I thought
she was exaggerating

to get Dhillon into trouble

and to get closer to Vendler
cos she fancied him.

So you were jealous of her?

I thought it was transparent
and a bit pathetic.

And you told Mr Harwood?

Yeah.

How did he react?

He was worried because of
the whole Lucinda Bright thing,

and really this was much worse

because, unlike that fruitcake,
Hannah was Little Miss Perfect.

So you WERE jealous?

I thought she played up the
genius-from-a-council-estate a bit.

"I'm not like
all you posh Oxbridge rejects."

You don't see yourself
as a posh Oxbridge reject?

Maybe, but I think people have
personalities as well as labels.

How would you describe
your personality?

How would you describe yours?

MURMURS AND QUIET LAUGHTER

I'm asking the questions,
Miss Campbell.

Sorry, I know, I just...

I'm trying to point out
that it's hard to describe

a personality in a single answer,

especially one's own.

I think that is a fair comment,
Mr Reynolds.

Do you want me to give you four
adjectives like a job interview?

OK, let's start with that.

Impatient.

Easily-bored.

Sorry some are hyphenated
cos I'm complicated.

Erm...

Loyal.

How about violent?

No... Not physically anyway.
I hate seeing people in pain.

Well, so, then, why did you tell
Stephen Vendler

that you fantasised
about killing somebody during sex?

You did tell him that,
Miss Campbell?

I might have done.

You MIGHT have done?

I don't recall ever having done so
but it's definitely possible.

And yet you don't see yourself
as a violent person?

Stephen Vendler liked to talk.

You know, scenarios.

Scenarios?

He'd pester me to tell him
extreme stuff that he'd get off on.

And you didn't "get off" on it?

I tend to find men nagging me

for details of my sexual fantasies
extremely boring,

even when they've got funny wigs on.

So you just made it up
for his benefit?

Oh, look, I hate to be the one
to break this to you

but there's something
you need to know about women.

LAUGHTER

So this was his fantasy
that's...that's what you're saying?

No. I'm saying that Stephen liked me
to talk about scenarios

that in the cold light of day
might sound...weird,

or disgusting, or even ridiculous.

And that was one of them?

I honestly don't think
that was one of them.

So how do you explain it?

I think that he remembered more
general stuff

that might have been said

and fitted it to a crime
whose details he already knew.

Why?

I don't know,
because he was angry with me,

because he had a bad conscience
about it all,

and, in the end, at a guess,
to shift the blame.

He killed himself.

Do you consider that shifting
the blame?

I said it was a guess.

She's quite correct, Mr Reynolds,

you cannot expect her to tell you
what was on Mr Vendler's mind.

Do you have a bad conscience
about it all?

No, because I haven't done anything.

Well, you told Mr Harwood about
Hannah's complaints, didn't you?

I warned Dhillon.

And you threatened Hannah
with a series of texts, didn't you?

Because I don't like being called
a whore.

Might you consider adding "liar"
to your list of adjectives?

No, cos liar's a noun.

They're saying they misplaced
the footage.

So recall Cassidy.

And ask her what? Ask her
what the missing evidence shows.

She'll say there's a ton of evidence
and she doesn't remember.

No, she won't.

Of course she...
I will talk to her. She won't.

She'll hang, draw and quarter you.

She'll literally feed your entrails
to Andy Lowell.

Look, it's not a slam-dunk
but it does create some doubt,

especially given Dhillon totally
denied it.

God, it was a big risk putting
Talitha in the witness box

with that personality.

It was but no-one's calling her
Lady Tease any more.

No.

You gonna tell Cassidy you told me?

Yeah...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't think I'm gonna be
Sweet Baby James any more.

What the fuck, James?
What the actual fuck?

Blame your officers
and give them the drink aware app.

It's nothing.
He had the scarf, Paula,

and you marked it down
as not relevant.

It was a judgment call.
There is tons of footage.

Yes, but none it shows Talitha
and Dhillon playing with the scarf

and it ending up around his neck.

Yes, but that doesn't mean he kept
hold of it, it's inconclusive.

But the fact that the footage has
now completely disappeared isn't, though. No, that was not my doing.

I would never do that.
No, I bet Lowell leaned on Hillcroft because he's scared of you.

Shut up. Scared?
You haven't a fucking clue.

Paula, I'm sorry.
I know you're a good officer...

Oh, fuck off,
you sanctimonious creep.

Jesus fucking Christ.

I hope that when that
smirking little bitch is out

walking the streets again

that you're able to
look Andrea Ellis in the eye.

Well, I'll be able
to look myself in the eye.

Not in this town, mate.

DI Cassidy, can I take you back

to the evidence that you gave during
your examination by the prosecution?

Go ahead.

My learned friend asked
if Talitha had worn the scarf

throughout the entire ball.

Correct.

And you said yes.

She was, in all the evidence I saw.

Did you ever see Dhillon Harwood
wearing the scarf?

There was a lot of mobile evidence.

Oh, I didn't ask if there was a lot
of mobile evidence, DI Cassidy.

I asked if you ever saw a clip
that showed Talitha Campbell dancing

and fooling around
with Dhillon Harwood.

I don't remember every clip.

And at one point in that clip
Dhillon Harwood takes the scarf

and wraps it around his own neck

and wears it on the dance floor.

You're not the only one
that saw this clip, DI Cassidy.

This was seen by your disclosure
officer DC Hillcroft,

this was seen by the CPS who have
finally brought it to our attention.

Your answer was wilfully misleading,
wasn't it?

Yes, Talitha Campbell was wearing
the scarf in all of the evidence,

but not all of the time.

Do you agree, DI Cassidy?

No, I wouldn't.

Oh. Would you agree
that you saw evidence

that Dhillon Harwood was wearing
the scarf?

Not wearing exactly.

Was the scarf physically connected
to Dhillon Harwood

and not physically connected
to Talitha Campbell?

I believe so, erm,
but I don't...I don't...

And would you like to tell
the jury why they can't see

the piece of evidence that shows
Dhillon Harwood wearing the scarf?

It's been misplaced.

Sorry, could you...?
It's been misplaced.

Oh. It happens.

Both copies?

Look.

This...this was
an extraordinarily complex case

with thousands
of pieces of evidence.

And yet you managed to keep hold
of all of the pieces of evidence

that favoured the prosecution.

That is not a question, Ms Hemmings.

No.

Just one final question, My Lady.

Is this the first time
in your professional career

that you have allowed
your obvious dislike of a suspect...

..to so cloud your judgment?

You are taking liberties now,
Ms Hemmings.

Although I feel compelled
to point out

that police evidence
has been less than satisfactory

on this matter, DI Cassidy.

No further questions.

LOCK CLICKS, BUZZER

I'm only doing this
because you pay for Cleo.

She said that I should, um, ask
for your forgiveness.

Bullshit. Don't bother.

I agree. It won't get us anywhere.

And you'd have to care enough
to actually want it.

No, it's not...

It's just...

..too late really and too much
to ask in the circumstances.

So why are you here?

I wanted to say that I'm sorry.

Which is a bit different.

What for?

For losing sight of you.

It was never really there to lose.

I had an old vinyl 45
of French nursery rhymes.

I've no idea where it came from,

it was a friend
of my mother's I think.

Anyway, that song was on it...

..and I taught it to you
when you were small

and you couldn't sleep,

and then I gave you the record
and you played it all the time

on that little red turntable thing
you had.

I lost it somewhere.

I am sorry that you drew
such a short straw, Talitha.

Well, let's just hope that
my Saint can work miracles, I guess.

She's certainly been paid enough.

SHE CHUCKLES

Well, goodbye.

Thank you for seeing me.

SOFTLY: O Sainte Vierge
o ma patronne...

..si j'ai peche vite pardonne.

REPORTER: The different legal teams
in the Hannah Ellis murder trial

will tomorrow present
their closing speeches

before the judge's summing up
of the evidence.

This will be their last chance
to convince the jury

as to which verdict
they will return.

Are Talitha Campbell and
Dhillon Harwood guilty or not guilty

of murdering Hannah Ellis?

Doubt - over the bracelet,
over the scarf,

over Cassidy's evidential integrity.

None of Talitha's DNA
actually on the vodka bottle,

or on Hannah's body,
or anywhere else.

Some on the jury are going to go
with their instincts on this.

Defence can shout "doubt".
And they will for sure.

Adam, that can backfire. You know.

"Why are they going
for that defence"?

If they're just pleading for doubt,
they've got nothing.

Who's on trial here?

A fragile yet resilient young woman
called Talitha Campbell

who had a falling out
with another student?

Or the fictional Lady Tease

created by a prurient media

designed to get abusers
off the hook yet again?

That's good.

Most of the jury won't know
what prurient means.

It doesn't matter if they know
the meaning, it's how it sounds.

Drop prurient.

She told Vendler that she fantasised
about killing girls during sex.

But just saying "I might have
said something a bit like that"

is a bit bloody weak.

Not having the scarf footage
is good.

It means we can maximise it
in their minds.

He could have put it in his pocket
even then. Point is he had it.

Doubt - weak forensics, biased cops.

Vendler. Character. History.

Credible forensics.

Straw-clutching.

Bonnie and Clyde.

INDISTINCT SHOUTING

REPORTER: The judge has concluded
her summing up of the evidence,

the jury has to decide between
the Prosecution's case

that both of the accused are guilty.

Dhillon Harwood's defence
that he was present

but not responsible,
led astray by his co-defendant.

And Talitha Campbell's simple
insistence

that she knows nothing whatsoever
about the crime.

The session is now resuming
in Courtroom two.

Please make your way
to Courtroom two, thank you.

All rise.

Could the jury foreperson
please stand?

Would the defendants please stand.

Have you reached a verdict
on which you are all agreed?

Yes.

On the charge of murder,

do you find the defendant
Dhillon Harwood

guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

You find him guilty.

And that is the verdict of you all?

Yes.

And on the charge of murder,

do you find the defendant
Talitha Campbell

guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

You find her not guilty.

And that is the verdict of you all?

Yes.

Thank you.

Dhillon Harwood,

you have been convicted
by the jury of

the murder of Hannah Ellis.

This was a shocking killing

in which you robbed a young woman
of her life and her future,

and took from her family
a loving and much-loved daughter.

The sentence I must pass upon you
for murder is fixed by law

and is one of life imprisonment.

You will serve a minimum
of 23 years,

less the 84 days you have spent
on remand.

After that,

it will be a matter for
the parole board

to determine if and when
you are released.

REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS

Mrs Harwood,
did you know your son was guilty?

What do you think about the verdict?
Mrs Harwood!

Where do you want to go?

Meera.

Guilty verdict.
What do you make of the verdict?

Mrs Harwood, did you

You must have an opinion!

CAMERAS CLICK

I don't know what to think, James.

Think that justice has been done
for Hannah.

Has it, though?

I mean, what if...
You can't think about the what ifs.

Dhillon definitely killed her
and he's going to prison.

She'll never be my Hannah again.

She'll just be
the Hannah Ellis case.

Andrea, she will always be
your beautiful daughter.

I wanted to ask your permission
for something actually.

Erm...

My wife's pregnant,
and it's a girl...

We really like the name anyway
but...

..we were considering Hannah
as a middle name.

She'll be clever.

She'll be kind.

She'll be special.

She might struggle
with a flat-pack, though.

BOTH LAUGH

Thank you.

I will never forget your kindness.

KNOCKING

Yo.

Going away?

Guess. Mm...

Paris.

It's my city, Cleo,

and I need to get this provincial
shithole out of my hair.

Well...

..have a nice time.

It's funny to think that you were
just the duty solicitor.

It is a bit.

I won't see you again after this,
will I?

No.

I don't think so.

Just another client.

Not just a client...

..but still a client. I get it.

We did it, Cleo.

Yeah, we did.

We so totally fooled them.

Your face.

I thought it didn't matter.

I thought it was all about process.

SHE CACKLES

Gotcha.

Send me a picture
from the Eiffel Tower.

You got it.

Bye.
