01x05 - The Long Voyage

[bunniefuu]

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 k*lling 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

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 k*lling somebody during sex?

I can't lie

..Talitha never said anything

like that.

She never mentioned k*lling 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 k*ll 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-r*pe drug

found in Hannah's body?

The what?

GHB. The chems.

The drug often used

to incapacitate victims.

Hannah did.

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 m*rder

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 k*ller.

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.

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.

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.

Did Cassidy tell you to bury this?

Well, this is hours before

the m*rder.

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?

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 m*rder*d 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 f*cking stands!

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.

Won't they think

Lady Tease strangles Hannah

in revenge for her own

Abuse.

Whatever.

No, not whatever.

Still, though,

abused becomes ab*ser, 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

..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.

As the trial for Hannah

Ellis's m*rder 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.

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.

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."

And

..well, then we had a row

because of the stuff that she was

saying about Dhillon.

Did you send her a*usive 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 wh*re 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 wh*re?

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?

No, 15.

And what happened at these parties?

I had sex

with most of the men there.

You were r*ped

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.

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.

..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 f*cked 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?

Or 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.

- 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?

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 k*lling 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.

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 k*lled 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 wh*re.

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 f*ck, James?

What the actual f*ck?

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 f*cking clue.

Paula, I'm sorry.

I know you're a good officer

Oh, f*ck off,

you sanctimonious creep.

Jesus f*cking Christ.

I hope that when that

smirking little b*tch 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'tI 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.

Thisthis 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.

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.

Well, goodbye.

Thank you for seeing me.

O Sainte Vierge

o ma patronne

The different legal teams

in the Hannah Ellis m*rder 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 k*lling 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.

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 m*rder,

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 m*rder,

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 m*rder of Hannah Ellis.

This was a shocking k*lling

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 m*rder 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.

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

know your son was guilty?

You must have an opinion!

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 k*lled 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.

Thank you.

I will never forget your kindness.

Yo.

Going away?

- Guess.

- Mm

Paris.

It's my city, Cleo,

and I need to get this provincial

sh*thole 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.

Gotcha.

Send me a picture

from the Eiffel Tower.

You got it.

Bye.
