ANN CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Gonna miss you, Mum. Gonna
miss this place an' all.

I'd move Matthew in here if I didn't
think he'd immediately divorce me.

THEY CHUCKLE

ANN SNIFFS Hey.

I'll be round for a brew
every day, I promise.

Nothing's going to change.

Well, it will, love, and
that's exactly as it should be.

THEY CHUCKLE, ANN SNIFFS

Oh, I couldn't be
happier for you, love.

He is a good man.
He'll look after you.

I don't need looking after, Mum.

THEY SOB

Let's play with the cars now.

MUSIC CONTINUES,
INAUDIBLE VOICES

Come to bed, love. You
need to get some sleep.

Are you joking? There's not a
chance in hell I could sleep.

What you doing?
I'm making a list.

Everything the police
done wrong, got wrong,

since the moment I
reported her missing.

They've got to start
taking us seriously.

Are you sure this is actually
gonna get us anywhere...?

Look, if I don't do it now, I'll
forget, and I don't wanna forget.

These people need to
be held to account.

BIKE BELL RINGS

'You can't just keep calling
every time you have...'

Don't tell me what
I can and can't do.

I wanna know why you failed
to find my daughter's body.

'I understand, Mrs Ming, but...'

Yeah, I-I want you to
find her k*ller, and I...

'I...' Yeah, and
I also wanna know

why the press are reporting that
it was you who found her, not me!

CALL RECONNECTS Are
you still there?

'Mrs Ming?' Oh, for
God s... Yes, it is.

'I'll call you back in
a minute.' Oh, fine.

God! They're gonna call me back.

Aren't you angry about this?

SOFTLY: I just...

What? You just what, Charlie?

I think you're wasting
your energy, that's all.

Well, what other choice do I have?
W-W-What else am I supposed to do?

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

'Mrs Ming?' Er, yeah?

'If you can be here in half
an hour, the DCC can see you.'

Yes, yeah, we can
be there. 'OK.'

Fine. Thanks. 'See you then.'

ANN HANGS UP PHONE

Right, we've got a meeting with
the Deputy Chief Constable.

Will you come with me,
please? Course I will.

Don't worry, I will
do all the talking.

That's what I'm worried about.

On behalf of all of us here
at the Cleveland Constabulary,

I'd like to offer you both
our sincere condolences.

No, we don't want your
condolences. We want answers.

I wanna know who
k*lled our daughter.

It's been less than


You've not give us chance
to put things right.

How the hell can you
put things right?!

Now that this is a
m*rder investigation,

we've assigned you
a liaison officer.

Any problems, questions,
anything at all...

You're fobbing us off.

Quite the reverse, Mr Ming.

We're exploring every
avenue of enquiry.

Er, you should be aware that
we're talking to Mr Hogg.

Wait, Matthew? We brought
him in for questioning.

No, n... No, you're
barking up the wrong tree.

Matthew would never hurt our Julie.
This is just another police c*ck-up.

I'll be adding that to my list,
you can be sure about that!

Will you send in DS
Braithwaite? 'Yes, Sir.'

UNDER BREATH: Can you believe
that guy? Unbelievable.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

DOOR OPENS

Mr Ming. Mrs Ming.

Mark here will be your
Family Liaison Officer.

No, no, I want the
organ-grinder, not the monkey.

I'm, er, so sorry about your
daughter, Mr and Mrs Ming.

This must be a very... difficult
and frightening time for you both.

"Difficult"? Our
daughter's been m*rder*d.

This is hell! SOFTLY: Come on.

I didn't mean to suggest...

Well, then think before
you open your big mouth!

I'm sorry, I, erm...
HE CLEARS THROAT

Look, we wanna know what
you're actually doing.

Cos from here,

it looks like you're sitting
with your thumb up your arse.

Where have you been, Daddy?

The police just wanted to
talk to me, that's all.

But I'd done nothing wrong,
so they've just let me go.

Can I still live with you?

Yeah, of course, mate.

You'll stay with me in the
week, and then you'll stay

with your Nanna and your
grandad at the weekends,

it's the same as before.

We'll find a nice new place.

Mm-k. SOFTLY: OK.

I wish I'd nagged her to
stay here with us that night.

Why didn't I nag her more?
No, you can't think like that.

She was old enough to
make her own choices.

ANN SIGHS SOFTLY

They told me... that you
were in the next room.

What? The police.

When they spoke to
me and they said

that your version of events
were very different to mine.

What do you mean?
According to them,

you told them that it was me who
asked you to take the bath panel off

because I thought there
was something behind it.

But I didn't. I
don't understand.

No, I know, it's just
bullshit. They're just...

Just trying to play you
off against me. b*stards.

I told them that you
would never hurt her.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I just...

Who could've done this to her?

CHURCH BELL TOLLING

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Cheers. Thank you.

MUSIC: 'Ave Maria'
by Franz Schubert

Music was everything to Julie.

She used to listen to all
the new wave bands and...

New Romantic music.

She was a shy girl, but once
she was out on that dance floor,

all her usual inhibitions
just seemed to vanish.

I can see her now... spinning
round like... nothing else...

TEARILY: ..like
nothing else mattered.

SHE CLEARS THROAT

If Julie liked you... you
were a friend for life.

And that's what she was to me.

Not just me daughter,
but a friend.

My best friend.

We'd speak it every day
on the phone without fail.

Often, several times a day, even if
we'd literally just seen each other.

SHE SNIFFS

Sometimes, it'd drive me potty,
but right now, I'd give anything...

SHE SOBS

SOFTLY: Sorry.

I promise you, Julie...

...we'll get the
b*stard that k*lled you.

I promise you that.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

TELEVISION: 'The Birmingham Six.

'Since the day they
were arrested in 1974,

'all six have protested their
innocence, saying they were framed.

'This afternoon...'

Are you coming? Where?

To meet the FLO.

What's that? Family
Liaison Officer.

Oh, right.

I just feel like we
should be holding

their feet to the
fire, you know?

Have you seen this? 'Justice?

'I don't think them people in
there have got the intelligence...'

They've got an update
for us, apparently.

Go without me, love.

Tsk. Jesus Christ, Charlie. Do you
know what. How can you do that?

Do what? Just block it all out.

I'm not like you.

You know that.

Oh, Charlie, please. What?

We are either in this
together, or we're in trouble.

Charlie? Just leave me alone.

I want you to know I'm keeping
a record of everything -

all the ba*ls-ups, the
lies, inconsistencies -

and I'm putting them into a
letter, an official complaint.

If I were you, I'd be doing
exactly the same thing.

Er... I heard you
just found our...

Julie's cash card and
watch in the loft.

That's right, yes.
And a diary too.

A diary? SHE SIGHS

It's just unbelievable.
What the...?

What the hell were the forensics
team doing all that time?

Playing sodding bridge?!

I am aware things haven't been
handled very well on our side...

Oh, that's one
way of putting it!

Explain to me how all
those trained officers

spent five days in that house

and not one of them
found my daughter's body!

Yeah, I'd be angry
too, Mrs Ming.

And after the experience you've had,
I get why you're mistrustful of me.

You can be straight with me.

Then I want you to
be honest with me.

I need to be updated
on everything, OK?

SHE SIGHS

Look, I can't promise
you that, I'm afraid.

But there'll be no bullshit.
You have my word on that.

You said you had some news.

We've made an arrest. What?

What...? W-Who?

Some lads from the local rugby club
became relevant to our inquiry.

We're able to eliminate
all but one of them.

We found Julie's keys

under the floorboards of the
house where he's lodging.

I... I've seen
this fella before.

'No, we didn't see
nowt, Mrs Ming.'

The morning she went
missing, I was round here,

and he was sitting here at
this table with your Sean.

Cool as a cucumber.

Right, OK, aye.
If, if it was him,

would he not want to get as far
away from here as possible, hm?

Maybe they got the wrong bloke.

Was he staying here the
night she was k*lled?

No.

He lives on the next street along
with another lad. That Lee Watson.

Not any more, he doesn't.

Sorry about your
Julie, Mrs Ming.

What else can you tell me
about this mate of yours?

He's not my mate.

Not any more.

Why's that, then?

Sean.

He went to school with Matthew
Hogg. Why don't you ask him?

He's in this g*ng with some
others from the rugby club.

They're always causing
trouble, but he's the worst.

I mean, everyone's terrified of
him, but no-one dares speak up.

How do you mean? He's...

He's got tons of
violent as*ault charges.

Short fuse, vicious temper.

He's-He's a nasty piece of work.

Do you think he
k*lled our Julie?

Urgh, I... I don't,
I don't know.

I don't know if it...
But if it was him...

...it don't even
bear thinking about.

It's him, Ann.

We're confident we've
got the right man.

The blanket Julie
was wrapped in.

Yeah?

They've found someone
else's DNA on it.

It's being analysed, and
we're hopeful of a match.

And if there's not one?

It will make things significantly
harder for the prosecution.

Is there enough to get
him without a DNA match?

Er, it's hard to say.

But to be frank with you,

the defence will use anything they
can to pull apart the evidence.

Listen, I don't want to intrude,

but have you thought
about getting any help?

What do you mean?

If you like, I can put you
in touch with a psychologist

for both you and your husband.

No, no, I don't... Therapy
can really help, Ann.

You've been through a terrible
trauma. You both have.

I can't get rid of the smell.

It's in me nostrils.

Every time I fall asleep, I
see the bathroom, I see...

...her body under the bath.

Every time.

Yeah.

It'll take a while.

He thinks that therapy
can help us, Charlie.

I don't think I can do it, love.

Which one do you think
she is? That one.

SHE SOBS SOFTLY

DOGS BARK

Morning, Graham. Oh,
morning, Mrs Ming.

There you go. Ah. Thank you.

The Police Complaints
Authority have responded.

Listen to this, it
is unbelievable.

The Deputy Chief
Constable has said

that "valuable lessons
have been learned".

And that, although he does not

"consider the officers concerned
were guilty of neglect",

he is "disappointed
with their performance".

But he "does not think"

"that formal disciplinary
charges should be brought."

I mean, it's a whitewash, Charlie!
It's a total bloody whitewash...

It's not forever.

No, no, no. Charlie,
please sit down...

It's taken all of our
energy just to stay sane.

I've nothing left to give.

You haven't thought
this through. Please.

Let me just say
what I need to say.

If it was me...

HE INHALES

If I was the one who found
her... I couldn't have managed.

SOBBING: I'm barely
managing now.

HE SNIFFS It's always the same.

You... resenting me for
the way I deal with things.

Me blaming you for resenting me.

It's like we're stuck in...

What's the word?

Where you're caught
between heaven and hell?

WHISPERS: Purgatory.

I don't know how we
get through this.

But us being apart might
be our best chance.

WHISPERS: Please.

WATER DRIPS

CLANGING

ANN GASPS, SHE BREATHES QUICKLY

Oh, God...

Thank you for coming in, Ann.
No, of course. What's going on?

BRAITHWAITE SIGHS We've
heard back from the lab

about the biological samples
on the, on the blanket.

The DNA's a match.

Does that mean what
I think it means?

It means we've got him, Ann.
No, no, are you serious?

Are you sure? I'm a 100%...

No, I'll go further than that.

I'm 110% sure.

Trust me, Ann. We've got him.

SHE SOBS DRYLY

HANDCUFFS CLINK

CLERK: All rise.

PROSECUTION: Detective Gravely,

how did the defendant first
come to your attention?

There were a number
of men, at least six,

who were all friends from
the local rugby club.

They came into our inquiry
as TIE suspects. "TIE"?

Trace, Interview, Eliminate.

We were able to eliminate all
of the persons of interest

except for the defendant,

whose alibi at that
time had fallen through.

We then searched the
house on Clarence Avenue

where he was
lodging at the time.

Why was the location of
his lodgings so important?

Well, Clarence Avenue is just
two streets away from Julie's,

which meant he had both
means and proximity.

Did you find anything
during this search? Yes.

We found Julie's missing keys,

which were hidden under the
floorboards behind a brick.

ATTENDEES GASP AND MURMUR

Thank you, DC Gravely.

Can you tell me what you found

on the blanket which Mrs
Hogg's body was wrapped in?

Well, first, there were the
yellow and black acrylic fibres.

Nine in total.

And what's the significance
of these fibres?

They matched the fibres
found on the rugby jersey

worn by the defendant on
the night of the m*rder.

Was anything else of significance
found on the blanket?

Yes. Several human hairs
and a small amount of semen.

How can you be sure that these
belonged to the defendant?

Samples were taken from


DNA profiling has
ruled out 20 of these.

The only sample that matched the DNA
on the blanket was the defendant's.

UNDER BREATH: Yes. MORE MURMURS

This is a keyring... taken from
a set of keys found by the police

under the floorboards of
the defendant's lodgings.

Were you able to obtain
any prints from this?

Yes. We found two prints -

one from the right thumb, and
one from the right forefinger,

both of which clearly
match the defendant's.

Thank you, Miss Morden.

MURMURING

DEFENCE: Now, you
say that you found

two of my client's
fingerprints on the keyring.

That's correct, yes.

But those weren't
the only fingerprints

you found on the
keyring, were they?

No, there were several
other fingerprints on it.

None of which matched
my client's, did they?

Well, it's hard to be certain.

Because of the overlapping,
it's been impossible to...

A simple yes or no will
suffice, Miss Morden.

No.

Now, as far as the
hair and the semen,

you say that DNA profiling has
ruled out everyone except my client,

which clearly implies

that the biological samples
on the blanket were his.

But the truth is you can't actually
be 100% certain of that, can you?

Not 100%, no, but
the chances of...

Furthermore, the
yellow and black fibres

could have been found from
any matching rugby shirt,

could they not?

From any of the rugby
club g*ng, or...

well, anyone else who happened
to be wearing that jersey

on the night in question?
Yes, but there's...

Thank you, Miss Morden.

No further questions.

MURMURING

My Lord, with your permission,

the prosecution would like to
warn the members of the jury

about the graphic nature of the
images they are about to see.

Dr Sunter, what was the
most likely cause of death,

in your professional opinion?

Some form of asphyxia.

Strangulation or suffocation
is my best estimation.

Is it possible it
could've been an accident?

Based on the other injuries
on the rest of the body,

I would say almost
certainly not.

These injuries sustained,

could they have been caused
by sexual intercourse?

Absolutely not. How
can you be so sure?

They were the result of extreme
and deliberate violence.

In my view, most probably an
act of mutilation after death.

CHARLIE SIGHS, ATTENDEES MURMUR

Thank you, Dr Sunter. No
further questions, my Lord.

JUDGE: Defence, your witness.

Now, in your evidence,
regarding the cause of death,

you're saying you're not
certain how Julie died, correct?

I've already outlined the
most likely explanations.

The subtle signs
of these hypotheses

have been obscured by
putrefactive change.

Do we or do we not know
the cause of death?

Not for certain.

It would be fair to
say, would it not,

that, because of the
failures of the police,

your job as pathologist
was rendered impossible?

I wouldn't put it
quite like that, no.

Then tell me -

would it have been possible
to establish a cause of death,

had the police found
Mrs Hogg's body

when they spent five
days searching her home?

It would've been
much more likely.

ATTENDEE: It's disgraceful.
Thank you, Dr Sunter.

ATTENDEES MURMUR

TAP SQUEAKS, WATER RUNS

NAPKIN SCRUNCHES

And what was it about the
smell that caused you to worry?

Erm, well, having worked
in a hospital for 20 years,

I think I knew deep
down what it was.

But I was just praying,

"Please, God... please
don't let it be Julie."

And as you leaned
across the bath,

you say that your knee pushed
against the bath panel?

WHISPERS: Yes.

I appreciate this
isn't easy, Mrs Ming.

But as you put your hand
behind the bath panel...

Was it your left hand
or your right hand?

Erm...

I-I don't know,
sorry. Er, erm...

With my right. My
right, I think.

Are you certain about that?

What does it matter? I found my
daughter's body under the bath.

SOFTLY: What's he asking that
for? Why are you asking me this?

I know this isn't easy
for you, Mrs Ming.

I can't tell you how important
it is for the court to hear.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

Can you tell us what you found when
you pulled back the bath panel?

SHE SNIFFS

Even though she was
wrapped in a blanket,

I knew that it was
her... our Julie.

The smell was unspeakable.

It was in my lungs.
It was everywhere.

It still is. I'm
so sorry, Mrs Ming.

It must have been a terrible
thing to have to go through.

SOFTLY: Yes, it was.

And the fact that it should
never have happened...

must be especially galling?

Er, sorry, I don't...

Well, if the police
had done their job...

...then you should never have
had to go through it, correct?

I will never forgive them.

And nobody would blame
you for that, Mrs Ming.

It does makes you wonder what else
they've got wrong in this case.

He kept asking for
more and more detail.

I know, love.

SHE SNIFFS You know, I was...

I was watching him
today, and I...

...I imagined that I had a g*n.

And I kept thinking,

"If I just pulled it out
now while no-one was looking

"and aimed it right
at his head..."

"And then bang, he'd be gone."

"Simple as that."

Would it be worth it? A
life sentence, I mean?

Honestly, I wouldn't care.

I would.

The worst part's over now, love.

Maybe, once he's behind bars...

...maybe we could start
afresh, you and me?

I'd like that.

Mr Fowler, how did
you know Julie Hogg?

We're neighbours. Been
friends for years.

It was more than that,
though, wasn't it?

How long had you been in a sexual
relationship with Julie Hogg?

ATTENDEES MUTTER
SOFTLY: That's not true.

Mr Fowler?

A few years, on and off.

Now, Mrs Hogg was a rather
promiscuous young woman, wasn't she?

I don't know.

Yeah, I suppose so, er...

In your statement to
the police, you said,

"Loads of lads have been with
her while she's been married."

The unmatched prints
on Mrs Hogg's keyring.

Are they yours, Mr Fowler? No.

You're certain of that? 100%.
I never touched them keys.

Well, I suppose, given
what you've just told us

about Mrs Hogg's sexual
appetite, they could belong to...

well, any man in
a 50-mile radius!

My Lord, that isn't a
question. How dare they?

JUDGE: Mr Muller, you should
know better than that.

ATTENDEE: It's
disgusting! My Lord.

Were you with Mrs Hogg

on the night she went
missing, 15th of November?

No. No, we weren't
together no more.

Can you tell us why
it ended, your affair?

May I remind you, Mr Fowler,
that you are under oath.

We had sex a few months ago.

JULIE, WEAKLY: Oh... I don't
mean just me and Julie.

To be clear, when you say "we",

you are referring to
my client, the accused.

Is that correct? Yep.

And for the avoidance of doubt,

you and my client both
had sex with Mrs Hogg,

a few weeks before she
went missing in her house.

That's right, isn't it? Yeah.

No further questions. ANN SOBS

ATTENDEES MUTTER

How dare they speak
about her like that

when she's not even
here to defend herself?

Why is it even necessary?

Muck-raking through all
her personal stuff like...

We don't even know
it's true. SHE SNIFFS

They're just dragging her name
through the mud, and it's...

...it's cruel.

They're almost
trying to make out

that she was, she was
asking for it or something.

Well, they didn't
know her like we did.

So let them say
what they wanna say.

SHE SNIFFS

SHE EXHALES SLOWLY

Did you know?

Some of it. But I
didn't believe it.

How much?

I heard she hung out with the lads
from the rugby club sometimes.

It wasn't my business, Mam.

You should've told me. No.

No, it wouldn't have been fair.

I don't give a sh*t about fair!

If I'd known, maybe I
could've made her see sense!

Maybe she'd have listened to me.

SOFTLY: Or maybe she wouldn't.

She was always the one
who needed me, see?

At least I thought she did.

Right.

What do you think about
your daughter's sex life?

Was your daughter
a nymphomaniac?

How dare you? That's a
disgusting thing to say.

Leave us alone! Stop
saying things like that.

We wanna hear your
side of the story!

Mrs Ming, do you blame yourself?

PROSECUTION: Can you tell me why
Julie Hogg's house keys were found

under the floorboards
of your lodgings?

Well, I was framed.
CHUCKLING: You were framed?

You can't seriously expect
anyone to believe that can you?

Why not? You can't
trust the police.

Well, your fingerprints
were found on her keyring.

Not just mine. There were
other people's on it too.

All right, let's go
back a stage, shall we?

After you were ejected
from the rugby club

for trying to engage in a
sex act with a stripper,

you got in a fight, resulting
in a cut to your face.

You were totally inebriated.
Blind drunk, weren't you?

So what? All of us were.

Yes, you and Sean Fowler then
went back to a friend's house

where you watched a...
pornographic film.

You then went to hospital,

where, just after 1am,
your wound was stitched.

Just after 2am, you
went back to Mr Fowler's

but just 20 minutes later, still
drunk and dangerously aroused,

you left with the words...
PROSECUTION SNIFFS

..."I'm just popping
into Julie's."

That's a lie. I
never went there.

When Mrs Hogg refused
your sexual advances,

you became violent
towards her, didn't you?

I never. I wasn't there.

You were so full of
rage, you k*lled her.

I told you, I-I-I never even
went round to Julie's! So I...

Your fingerprints
were on her keys.

And like I said,
I'm being framed.

Your hair was on the blanket she
was wrapped in. Your semen too.

In a drunken sexual frenzy,

you m*rder*d Julie Hogg with
extreme and deliberate violence.

Didn't you? I didn't
do it! I wouldn't!

Yeah, you're falling to pieces.

Because you really did m*rder this
poor young woman, didn't you? No.

SOFTLY: Come on. Look
at you, you're shaking!

No, I'm not. You're shaking.

No, I'm not! I didn't k*ll her!

OK, I... I didn't... I just...

JUDGE: It's half past four.

Erm... SOFTLY: Oh, no.

We'll adjourn until
tomorrow morning. No!

No, what...? Er,
ladies and gentlemen,

if you could collect your things...
The b*stard was about to crack!

He's in a rush to go for
his tea or something.

I would remind
you... This can't...

...not to discuss the case
with anyone outside of your 12,

and I'll see you back here
at 10:30 in the morning.

CLERK: All rise! For
God's sake. Stupid!

He was on the ropes.

Why the hell did the
judge adjourn us?

He's let him off the hook!

I know, it is frustrating,
but it happens.

Look, half an hour longer
might've done for him,

but in my experience, judges
are nothing if not punctual.

Look, hang in there.
It's nearly over.

Have you seen the papers?

SHE SIGHS I have, yes.

How dare they talk
about her like that?

Like she is the one on trial.

And yet they just refer to
the monster who m*rder*d her

as a plain old "father of two".

It's a bloody disgrace!

Some of those details might've come
as quite a shock to you. I'm sorry.

Did... Did you know?

I did, yes. I was trying
to protect you, Ann.

You didn't know her, Mark.
They didn't know her. I did.

She may have been careless
with her affections, but sh...

She was my little girl who
loved to dance and dress up.

That's who she was.

I should've been honest
with you. I'm sorry.

At 7:30 on the morning
of the 16th of November,

Mrs Ming arrived at her daughter's
house with her grandson, Kevin.

If you say so.

According to evidence
already heard,

you didn't get back to your lodgings
until after that time, did you?

And given the unlikelihood

of you wandering the streets
of Billingham unnoticed,

it is in fact the case that
you were still in the property

when Mrs Ming arrived, isn't
it? SOFTLY: Oh, my God.

I told you.

I was never there.

Mrs Ming might consider
herself fortunate

she didn't have a spare key.

If she did, she might've been
m*rder*d as a potential witness.

My Lord, these are
unsubstantiated allegations.

I'm inclined to agree, Mr
Whitburn. Do move along.

As My Lord pleases.

On the night of the


a police alarm was activated
in Julie Hogg's house.

You entered the property
that night, didn't you?

I told you. I was never there.

You needed to move Julie's
body somewhere safer.

You thought it best to make
it look like a burglary,

in case you were seen, except...

you didn't get time to
move the body, did you?

The police arrived before you
could. I never entered that house.

Not on the night she
died and not since. I...

I'm telling you, them
keys were planted.

ATTENDEES MUTTER
"Planted." By who?

I seen the news.
The Guildford Four.

The Birmingham Six.

MUTTERING INCREASES

When police are desperate,
they do whatever they need to.

JUDGE: You must decide
what happened in that house

in the early hours of
November the 16th, 1989.

The Crown must prove that Julie
died from an unlawful act...

...and that the defendant's intention
was to k*ll or cause serious harm.

You need to be certain...

beyond all reasonable doubt
about both of these things...

if you are to find
the defendant guilty.

'Oh, gorgeous.' ANN SNIFFS

CHARLIE: 'Your mam's never
recovered from me dancing.'

SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY

JUDGE: 'Your decision must be
based solely on the evidence.'

CHARLIE: 'Your mam's never
recovered from me dancing.'

'Any personal objections
you might have,

'regarding Julie's
behaviour or character...'

LAUGHTER FROM TAPE

'..must be put aside.'

SOFTLY: How can it take
them this long to decide?

It's not unusual to go into
a second day, apparently.

Oh, God I can't, I
can't bear it, Charlie.

I was wondering... SHE INHALES

...if you might stay
here with me tonight?

I haven't got me toothbrush.

SHE CHUCKLES Don't be daft.

Of course. Thank you.

Are you awake?

Can't sleep.

Me neither.

I keep going over
everything in my head.

The whole trial.

Same.

Will you hold me, please?

Just hold me.

Can your foreman please stand?

Well, surely you haven't gone three
weeks without appointing a foreman?

I'm happy to do it, My Lord.

Having been informed that you
cannot reach a unanimous verdict,

I will accept a
majority verdict,

in this case, one upon which
at least ten of you are agreed.

Have you reached such a verdict?
Please answer yes or no.

Er, no, we haven't. BILLY: Yes!

What? ATTENDEES MURMUR

Then I have no choice but to
discharge you from your duties.

Mr Whitburn. My Lord?

Will the Crown be pursuing
a retrial in this case?

Yes, my Lord.

The Crown will be
pursuing a retrial.

Very well. A date will
be set in due course.

This trail is hereby
adjourned. All rise.

TEARILY: I can't go through
that again, Charlie.

SHE SOBS I just can't, Charlie.

Not again.

Well done! Re-trial.

I can't do it.
