00:28You
00:38I've been doing this for a week and not making any headway
00:42You should have started with the corners
00:44Thank you, Joy
00:49Morning news, get your news here
00:52Morning news
00:55Morning news
00:56Get your news here, morning news
01:05They've given us a date
01:07Mr. Pierpoint's little visit, yes
01:09Twelve days
01:11And we can expect the Home Secretary's decision a couple of days before
01:15Decision?
01:16On whether to reprieve, postpone or even cancel your death sentence
01:20Now, a letter from you would be an enormous help
01:26Requesting compassion
01:29Expressing, if not remorse, then at least regret
01:32I don't regret
01:34I won't lie and I certainly won't beg
01:36Nothing will be sent to the Home Office
01:37No appeal, no
01:40Attempt to reprieve
01:44And thine eyes shall not pity
01:46But life shall go for life
01:49Life for I, tooth for tooth
01:54All I want is justice for David
02:03I'm due at the Home Office in 72 hours to submit her case
02:09Secretary of State will make his decision over the weekend
02:12What are you using?
02:15For the appeal
02:16Her alcoholism and, uh, mental breakdown, perhaps
02:25You're not thinking of using him?
02:28Ah, yes
02:31Desmond Cusson
02:32Look, dragging him in now would just make it look even more premeditated
02:36What if he solicited her to murder?
02:38Desmond Cusson was an RAF bomber pilot
02:43You know the casualty rate of bomber crews
02:45Only one in four made it through the war
02:47So we let him get away with murder because he was a war hero
02:51No doubt he made mistakes
02:52Getting too close to a woman like Ellis, for one
02:56Not that I'm judging her, but
03:00The world is the way it is, John
03:04I could take this to the Home Office right now
03:07And tell them what?
03:09That you allowed your client to perjure herself?
03:12I could take it to the newspapers
03:14And what a sheer bloody spectacle that would be
03:17You're like me, John
03:18We're both scholarship boys
03:22We both know the price of admission for boys like us
03:28I know, all right
03:31Discretion
03:33And never, ever frighten the horses
03:37That's why you brought me here, isn't it?
03:39Show me what I could win if I'm a good little chap
03:42And don't rock the boat
03:45But your problem is I don't care about being part of the club
03:49One of the chaps
03:50You think this is all real
03:53That it matters
03:54But it's nonsense
03:57That trial was a pantomime
04:00All of you
04:01In your costumes and wigs
04:03Absolute, meaningless nonsense
04:06Steady, Bigfoot
04:06Right now I feel like I could blow this whole thing up
04:10And damn the consequences
04:11You really think you can take them all on and win?
04:16You concealed material facts
04:18You made yourself an accessory to murder
04:22Now, you can destroy yourself and her
04:25Or you can take her one chance at a reprieve
04:32For her sake and yours
04:33Go for madness
04:37But she isn't mad
04:39Mental strain exacerbated by the miscarriage
04:43And her alcoholism
04:45She won't like it
04:47It's the best case we have
04:48For mercy
04:50What about Desmond Cusson?
04:53I think Ruth herself
04:55Is where we should concentrate our efforts
04:59Jackie Dyer's gone to the police
05:00She's made a statement about the gun
05:02And the cab that Desmond used to drive
05:04Why aren't we using that?
05:05Badger the man
05:06Something he's not telling us
05:07I can assure you
05:08It's all been looked into
05:10Now, if you'll excuse me
05:12Why aren't we using Cusson?
05:22Mr. Cusson
05:24DCI Davis met police
05:25Can we have a word?
05:29So you've no idea why this woman
05:32Jacqueline Dyer
05:33Has made these claims?
05:36I suppose a misguided attempt to
05:39Help Mrs. Ellis
05:41Who's made no effort whatsoever
05:43To help herself
05:45Mrs. Ellis has made our job
05:47Extremely easy
05:48Says open and shut a case
05:50As I ever saw
05:52And she hasn't fought it
05:55Why?
05:57She's a young mother
05:58No criminal record
05:59Every reason to ask for mercy
06:02But she hasn't
06:04She's going like a lamb to slaughter
06:16I know you've been letting Blakely drink for free
06:19For months
06:22You let him destroy this club
06:24And make fools of both of us
06:30I'm going to need the flat back
06:34You're sacking me?
06:36I'll give you till the end of the week
06:39I've got nowhere to go
06:46We can work something out
06:48You know I'll always look after you, Ruthie
07:01You will never touch me again
07:14I'm afraid the divorce settlement from George Ellis leaves you with
07:17Bugger all, I know
07:18Unless you want to take Mr. Ellis to court
07:22Which I would still strongly urge you to consider
07:24No
07:24Thank you, Mr. Mishkon
07:26Well
07:30One signature
07:32And you are very nearly a free woman
07:41So
07:42What are you going to do with your liberty?
07:45Look for a place to live
07:46Find a job
07:48Thank you
07:51Mrs. Ellis
07:54Do you have somewhere to stay?
07:57I have a friend
07:59Ruth
08:04You have a little boy
08:13Mrs. Ellis
08:16Are you alright?
08:21Can you please turn the light off, Joy?
08:24Can't sleep
08:25I'm sorry
08:26You're not allowed to do that
08:31No more hostessing
08:32I'll get a job in an office
08:35Already taken up a course of French lessons
08:37I've always wanted to talk dirty in two languages
08:46I'm moving in with Desmond
08:49What?
08:50Temporally
08:51That's why I look for a job
08:54Why didn't you ask if you could move in with me?
08:56What happened?
08:57I said
08:58Why didn't you ask if you could move in with me?
09:00Because you live with your parents
09:02Since you'll use spiners to admit my existence
09:04Is it any wonder I lose my rack when you push me like this?
09:09Take your hands off me
09:12I said take your hands off me
09:13Now
09:18I'm moving in with Desmond
09:19Because I have a son
09:20Who needs a roof over his head
09:21And I've already given up one child for you
09:23I mean, I only have got the balls
09:25To introduce me to your mother
09:29Excuse me
09:30May I have the bill, please?
09:36Sleep with him again
09:37And I swear I'll kill both of you
09:46Thank you
10:02Reprieve Ruth Elis
10:03Reprieve Ruth Elis
10:05Sign a petition to prevent a miscarriage of justice
10:10Reprieve Ruth Elis
10:11I'll sign it
10:16It's barbaric what they're doing to her
10:19I just want to save my friend
10:20I might be able to help
10:23I understand you've given a new statement to the police
10:27You're a journalist
10:29Javir Satya
10:30I hear they've taken someone in for questioning
10:32About the black cab
10:34And the gun
10:35Have they made an arrest?
10:37The people are on her side, Mrs. Dyer
10:40If we make enough noise, we can stop this
10:42But I need to know who she's keeping out of this
10:46Whoever it is
10:46The police knew about him already
10:50They took a statement from Ruth's French teacher weeks ago
10:53Who said she knew who gave Ruth the gun
10:56I've been looking for her so I can get his name
10:58But
10:59The police
11:01They've known all along
11:16Ruth?
11:17No black lamb chops and new potatoes?
11:20Yes?
11:27Bollocks to love
11:28You're not in love
11:29How did you know?
11:30You've never been in it
11:30Yes, thank God
11:31Biggest con ever pulled
11:33Bit of pillow talk
11:34Been 60 years of ironing his pants
11:36What about a young cage?
11:38A diamond like that?
11:39He wants something in return
11:40Yes, and he gets it
11:42My body
11:43My smile
11:44But not my soul
11:46He knows that
11:48Your trouble is you let them in here
11:52David's passionate
11:52Can I give as good as I get?
11:54You deserve better
11:55I'd die of boredom
11:57If you could be anywhere
11:58Doing anything right now
12:00What would it be?
12:03Driving a big fuck-off silver Cadillac
12:05Down Sunset Boulevard
12:06Oh, hello Hollywood
12:08We've fancied America
12:10Big cars
12:11Big open roads
12:12Well, we could do it
12:13You know
12:14We should
12:15Why not?
12:16Let's just book the tickets
12:17And let's do it
12:22Alright, well at least screw someone then
12:50Oh Christ, you're pretty
13:05There she is
13:05Good morning, Ruth
13:08Your French tutor's here
13:10She's been here for half an hour
13:12I'm so sorry
13:12If you could just give me one minute
13:14Just one minute
13:15Sorry
13:29Everything alright?
13:30Fine
13:32Seed at Jackie's
13:33You know what the girls are like
13:49Terrible racket
13:51We have the same problem at home
13:54Filthy pigeons
13:55You need to borrow this
14:05Ruth's French tutor saw it in his desk
14:07And gave a sworn statement
14:08So that she could identify the gun in court
14:10I believe she saw a starter pistol
14:12That Mr. Cusson kept in his flat
14:13She saw a large revolver
14:15A starter pistol
14:16That Cusson surrendered to us freely
14:18For examination
14:19As to the taxi cab
14:21He said he gave that to his brother
14:22Last year
14:25Months before Mrs. Ellis committed the murder
14:27Couldn't possibly have driven her to the Magdala
14:30Have you verified that?
14:32We interviewed Mr. Cusson at length
14:34As to your claims
14:37Everything I told you
14:38You already knew
14:39I understand
14:40You want to help your friend
14:41And that is admirable
14:43But nothing you can do
14:45Can change the fact
14:46Mrs. Ellis murdered David Blakely
14:48In cold blood
14:49Hey
14:50You want her dead
14:51All of you
14:52I want justice
14:55For Blakely's family
14:59Stinks, Ruth
15:01The whole thing stinks
15:03The police have covered things up
15:05Evidence that would have helped you
15:07The Bailing Cusson to the gun
15:08I said I didn't want you going to the police
15:10If his involvement was known
15:12It would mean a retrial at least
15:15Desmond is innocent
15:18Then why hasn't he visited you once
15:20Since the trial
15:21Jackie
15:22If he came out
15:24Everything would change
15:25People are on your side, Ruth
15:27They're getting angry
15:28All the people I've spoken to agree
15:32What people?
15:34Have been campaigning
15:36For you
15:38A petition
15:39What?
15:40And these are letters of support
15:43Jackie, I told you
15:45I told you I didn't want this
15:46I don't want people out there begging for me
15:49People feel for you, Ruth
15:51They feel
15:52They feel pity
15:53I would rather them think
15:54I was a cold-hearted
15:55Murdering bitch
15:56With no regrets
15:57But that's not who you are
15:59Isn't it?
16:01Perhaps it's just easier
16:02For you to think that
16:04Poor little Ruth
16:05David mistreated her so terribly
16:07She lost her mind
16:08She had no choice
16:10I chose
16:11To make him die
16:12On the ground
16:13In front of me
16:14Maybe it's easier
16:15For you to think that
16:16To make yourself believe
16:17You deserve it
16:18But that's a coward's way out
16:20Get them up
16:21Rather than fighting
16:21Get out
16:22And don't visit me again
16:23They're going to kill you, Ruth
16:25And you'll just as bad as them
16:27For letting it
16:28Get out
16:29And take those fucking things with you
16:31Get out
16:38This is bigger than her now
16:41It's about Timothy Evans
16:43And Derek Bentley
16:45It's about the whole business
16:47Of whether
16:47The state should go on
16:48Merrily hanging people
16:50Only to later discover
16:51That maybe they weren't guilty
16:54The government is nervous
16:56They promised law
16:57And order
16:59But the abolitionists
17:01Are knocking at the gates
17:02And then what's next?
17:04The homosexuals?
17:05The abortionists?
17:08So that's why they want her dead
17:11I just need a name
17:12But if no one will help her
17:14And she won't help herself
17:16Then you
17:18Have to
17:28Desmond Cusson
17:29Ruth Ellis' lover
17:30Gave her the gun
17:32Drove her to the scene
17:33Of the murder
17:34In a black cab
17:35Her friend
17:36Jacqueline Dyer
17:37Is certain
17:37Yeah, well our libel lawyers
17:39Are busy enough, son
17:40She hangs in ten days
17:41About to be a reprieve
17:43Ninety percent of women are
17:44And what if she's not?
17:45And Desmond Cusson
17:46Gets away with it
17:47Thirty million newspapers
17:49Bought every Sunday
17:50In this country
17:50Bought for two reasons
17:51Sex and hanging
17:52You're not here to fight crime
17:54You're here to sell it
17:55Come back to me with proof
17:56And we can talk
18:03Hello, yes
18:04I'm calling about my son
18:05Andre Ellis
18:06I wanted to check his school fees
18:07For the term had been paid
18:15Right
18:19Thank you
18:20I'll make sure
18:20A check is sent
18:21As soon as possible
18:29Ruth
18:30Let me look after you all
18:36You will look after him
18:37You promise
18:39Whatever happens
18:40You will look after him
18:41I swear
18:45I swear
18:46I swear
18:49I swear
18:54I was thinking
18:57About the holiday
18:59Get Andre out of London
19:01Scotland
19:01I thought I could teach him to fish
19:03David would lose his mind
19:05Let me deal with him
19:06It's a Christmas present
19:09Since you got me this
19:10Exquisite tie
19:13Is it the same again?
19:14Please
19:18Merry Christmas, Ruth
19:26What are you doing here?
19:29I haven't slept with him
19:30If that's what you're worried about
19:31Look at you
19:34Drunk
19:36Whilst your son
19:37Is alone at home
19:38On Christmas night
19:40You're an embarrassment
19:41What are you doing here?
19:44I'm wishing Merry Christmas
19:46To my fiancé
19:49Go with her
19:51You have no idea
19:53Do you?
19:56What she really thinks about you
19:59The contempt she feels
20:01But you
20:02Stop
20:02You little bastard
20:05Outside
20:07Outside
20:07Now
20:08Outside
20:11How about hitting a man
20:12Instead of a woman
20:13For once
20:15It's over
20:16You and Ruth
20:18You lost
20:19You have no doubt
20:49You're lost
21:10I know you're bored out of your skull with him.
21:15This is what you need.
21:18This is who you are.
21:27Please.
21:32Please, turn the light off.
22:00Is it true that you have all been campaigning for me?
22:02I told you. No begging, no pleading.
22:06You've seen what they've written about you.
22:08I don't care what they write. I want my sentence to take its course.
22:13You will not go to the Home Office. I will not die with this world thinking I am some beaten
22:19little fool.
22:23Well, that's it then.
22:24That is justice. An eye for an eye. As I have said from the start.
22:31An eye for an eye. Yes. You know, I was in Austria just after the war.
22:44I was a prosecutor in the British zone and I prosecuted a young German soldier.
22:50His unit had been moving Hungarian Jews in what later became called the Death Marches.
22:57And these prisoners were exhausted, barely able to walk.
23:03And he was ordered to shoot anyone that fell. And at first he refused, but eventually he shot two men.
23:13And after the war, we tried him for murder and we hanged him.
23:19One week after he committed those crimes, in March 1945, the Soviets liberated Vienna.
23:29They were out for revenge. Many drunk, terrorizing the city.
23:34Perhaps a hundred thousand women were raped.
23:39Not one single charge was brought against any of them.
23:46Because they were on our side.
23:50Justice isn't real, Ruth.
23:55It's a story written by the winners.
24:00I'm not certain of much, but I know you don't deserve to die for what you did.
24:15You will look after me. You promise. Whatever happens.
24:19I swear it.
24:23John.
24:29He made certain promises.
24:38He promised to look after Andre.
24:41I don't think he's going to.
24:44I told you he gave me the gun.
24:50Perhaps it's time to use that.
24:57We can't.
24:59You know we can't.
25:03It's too late.
25:06You told me you wanted me to tell them.
25:11Ruth, the better way is to go for the violence.
25:16Your miscarriage.
25:18What David did to you.
25:20The child you would have had.
25:28I think I'm pregnant.
25:33Do you know a couple of weeks when I can feel it?
25:38Oh, Christ.
25:39I'll call Dr Jameson and make an appointment.
25:43It's really no worse than getting a tooth out.
25:51I don't want you to get rid of it.
25:56Don't you?
25:57But no more Desmond Carson.
26:08We find somewhere to live.
26:12As a family.
26:14And we visit my mother.
26:18Tell her we're getting married.
26:33We're all right then.
26:46I still don't understand why you can't stay here with me.
26:51Well, if you and I had to have a future together, I need to build up my own life first.
26:54My independence.
26:56A home for Andre.
26:58I've found a bed-sitting room. It's cheap.
27:02Look, I know how much I've already asked of you.
27:10How much do you need?
27:16We would like the Home Secretary to consider provocation in the case of Ruth Ellis.
27:22She was suffering enormously.
27:25At the time of the offence, she'd had a miscarriage caused by Blakely's violence.
27:31It wasn't fully explored at trial.
27:34And there's a petition.
27:36There's 50,000 signatories.
27:38From Australia, America, France, Germany, and hundreds of letters.
27:43I hope the Home Secretary will consider them.
27:45Well, they're not all in Mrs Ellis' favour.
27:48I am married to a woman similar in nature to Ruth Ellis, eaten up with jealousy through and through.
27:53I greatly fear that my future safety would be at stake if you granted a reprieve.
27:58And many women express concern that clemency should not be granted merely because she is female.
28:04I hope the Home Secretary will concentrate on the fact.
28:07The facts are simple.
28:10Mrs Ellis committed a firearms murder in cold blood.
28:15There may have been other factors.
28:18Such as?
28:24She will not act to save herself.
28:28She will not let me act to help her.
28:31She practically wouldn't let me bring her case in front of you.
28:35She's determined to die because she feels like her life is not worth saving.
28:43You must act now.
28:44In the name of justice, in the name of mercy.
28:47She will hang in five days.
28:49I just need more time, for God's sake.
28:51A bit more time.
29:01Forgive me, sir.
29:06I'm sorry.
29:13I will speak to the Home Secretary.
29:15She's not without compassion.
29:17Quite the opposite.
29:18Have you heard of a woman called Sarah Lloyd?
29:24Who?
29:24She's a woman on death row at strange ways.
29:27She was convicted for the murder of an elderly neighbor with a shovel.
29:32Due to be hanged in two days.
29:35But Lloyd George has just reprieved her.
29:37Provocation over time wasn't a factor in her conviction.
29:41But it has been a factor in her reprieve.
29:45So that's good, isn't it?
29:46What?
29:47It could be bloody brilliant.
29:58God.
30:00And it all belongs to your parents?
30:02Yes.
30:03All theirs.
30:05Well, it's bits of bourbon, really.
30:08Still, it's nice to have the tennis courts.
30:14You nervous?
30:17Bit?
30:19Well, I'll tell you what.
30:21Let's go grab a drink first.
30:23Hmm?
30:25All right.
30:38You're frenzy.
30:40Well, we often drink here on Sundays.
30:41Then roll up at my parents' demanding roast beef.
30:47Look.
30:48Just a quick one.
30:49Promise.
30:50Oh!
30:51Here he is.
30:52Hello.
30:53David.
30:54Well, I thought I'd come a bit early.
30:56Hello.
30:57How was the drive?
30:58Oh, it was all right.
31:00And the maitre d' says to him,
31:02I'm sorry, sir, but these tables are reserves for the race car drivers.
31:06And Anne just looks at him and says,
31:09Now look here, old chap.
31:10We are the bloody race.
31:12Now bring some champagne!
31:14You've been so proud of her.
31:16Have you ever been to Le Mans?
31:17I've never seen that so far.
31:19No, I've never been to France.
31:20I've never actually been abroad.
31:22Well, perhaps he'll take you for your honeymoon.
31:25Well, he told us.
31:27Congratulations.
31:28Come on.
31:28A toast.
31:29For the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. David Blakely.
31:32Cheers.
31:33Cheers.
31:34Mr. and Mrs. David Blakely.
31:35You better make sure you take the bins out on time.
31:38Or she'll be sending the gangsters round to make sure you do.
31:46Come along.
31:46We should go.
31:47We don't want to keep your mother waiting.
31:48Yes, quite right.
31:49Mustn't keep Annie waiting.
31:51No, I tell you what.
31:53Why don't I go and get her and bring her back for a G&T before lunch, hmm?
31:57Well, now I'll come.
31:59You stay here.
32:00Okay.
32:00Have fun.
32:19I'm sorry about all that.
32:21They can be so childish.
32:23What do they mean about the gangsters?
32:25When David was attacked he had this idea, perhaps it was just a joke, that you sent the man to
32:30do it.
32:32It wasn't me.
32:34David's no angel.
32:35God knows he deserves a black eye now and then.
32:39He'll never introduce you to his mother, you know.
32:42We're getting married.
32:45We're actually...
32:47We're actually having a baby.
32:50No, you're having a baby.
32:53It's not a judgement, simply a fact.
32:55David will never truly know if the baby is his.
32:59Did he say that?
33:00I'm not trying to be cruel.
33:01What you and David have, it isn't love.
33:03It's a trap for both of you and my advice is, get out now.
33:07David!
33:08Your mother fancy a drink?
33:10No, she was busy.
33:19You're a cruel little coward, David.
33:28I'll drive you back to London.
33:43Least I could do.
33:46I've got a bottle of gin inside if you want to come in for a drink.
33:53How far along are you anyway?
33:56About six weeks.
33:57Gosh.
33:58A taste of gin would make me heave at six weeks.
34:02Strong stomach.
34:07Ruth.
34:08Ruth.
34:10The evening paper's in.
34:12I'm so sorry.
34:14It's your friend, Vicky.
34:29It's your friend, Jane.
34:30And we'll go about six weeks before.
34:49I didn't see enough food all my time, but we tend to be there at the professor.
34:49You go more drunk.
34:49We sit down here with a spacing.
34:50You go more bougain.
34:54I don't get this to beachtet my cup.
34:54You chuckled from Jersey.
34:59Mrs. Ellis, the decision's in, from the Home Secretary, on your reprieve.
35:11I have been pressed from many quarters to exercise clemency in this case.
35:17On the grounds of the prisoner's sex, and of her yielding to jealousy,
35:22which is alleged by some people to be stronger in women than in men.
35:36Are you going to get up today?
35:41It was Vicky's 13th accident in four years.
35:46When your time's up, it's up.
35:53Where have you been?
35:55If you must know, I stayed at Carol and Dance.
36:03Of course you did.
36:06You haven't been to the doctor about your pregnancy yet, have you?
36:09Not yet.
36:10You should be what?
36:14Ten weeks now?
36:17I spoke to Carol about it all.
36:21She said your symptoms are all wrong.
36:23But it's all very convenient, forcing us to get married.
36:28And I think she's right.
36:32It's not just the accent.
36:35The hair that's fake, is it?
36:38You're not really pregnant, are you?
36:40What?
36:40There may be circumstances in a capital case where special conditions apply to a woman,
36:47which would not be applicable in the case of a man.
36:50One recent example is that of Mrs. Sarah Lloyd.
36:59I can find no such special circumstances, however, in the present case.
37:05After everything I've done for you, brought you into my world,
37:09loved you, worshipped you,
37:11and all along, you were working out how to trap me.
37:15That's not true.
37:17You had me beaten.
37:18I didn't...
37:19To scare me into thinking I can never leave.
37:21I didn't do that.
37:22And then you went to work on my honor,
37:25knowing I'd never abandon you if you were having a child.
37:29David, I am pregnant.
37:31I just...
37:36The crime was a deliberate one,
37:38and was carried out with premeditation.
37:42The prisoner has expressed no remorse.
37:48I can find nothing to justify my taking a less serious view
37:53than of other cases of such a callous and calculating nature.
37:59God, don't let me do it.
38:01God, don't let me do it.
38:03The trial judge has told me
38:05that he can suggest no mitigating circumstances,
38:09and that he himself
38:10was not able to find any grounds
38:13for proposing that clemency would be appropriate.
38:21After much anxious thought,
38:24I have come to the conclusion
38:25that the law should be allowed
38:28to run its course.
38:32One of these days I will kill you.
38:46The sentence will be carried out
38:49two days from now.
39:05Well, I bet Emily's really missed you.
39:09Andre, go and play.
39:11Go on.
39:38It's all I could do.
39:40Maybe now you can get some sleep.
39:55I don't want to die.
40:04I don't want to die.
40:11I don't want to die.
40:15I don't want to die.
40:19I don't want to die.
40:28I know what you want to ask.
40:33Why don't I just bloody leave him?
40:36I don't have to ask that.
40:38Not after that.
40:42George,
40:43you've never known any different.
40:46You don't think you deserve any different.
41:11You said it would be enough.
41:12The violence,
41:13the miscarriage.
41:14You told me it would be enough for a reprieve.
41:20The game is rigged,
41:22Ruth.
41:24Why did you tell me to keep quiet?
41:27Because it was too late.
41:29For who?
41:30For you.
41:31You chose to perjure yourself
41:33and make me an accessory to murder.
41:36You promised that you would help me,
41:38but you haven't.
41:39every step of the way.
41:42You've made it harder and harder for me to help save your life.
41:48And I've never understood why.
41:55Do you know about what George used to do?
42:00He used to get blackout drunk.
42:02And when he would come home,
42:03it would always be my fault.
42:05And he would belt me.
42:08And people would always say to me,
42:11what do you do to drive him to it?
42:15What do you do to drive them all to it?
42:18Because you know,
42:19every man I have ever been with
42:22has turned out the same.
42:24Drunk.
42:25Violent.
42:28And it must have been my fault
42:29because it kept on happening.
42:32Different man.
42:34Same thing.
42:37I tried so hard to escape it.
42:41Changed my voice.
42:43Changed the way I look.
42:45I worked and I worked.
42:49Youngest club manager in London.
42:54And I thought I'd done it.
42:59And then David turned out.
43:03And he was worse than all of them.
43:06And I thought there must be something in me
43:07that is pulled towards them,
43:09towards men like him.
43:12I just didn't know what.
43:17And then when he was dead,
43:21the police and the papers and the lawyers,
43:24they all made sense of it for me.
43:27At last,
43:29I had my answer.
43:33The reason I couldn't escape it
43:37was because it was what was always meant for me.
43:40A common little tart
43:42with nothing to anyone
43:43except the price she can charge for a night.
43:46Finally getting what she had coming to her.
43:53And I would still believe that
43:56if it weren't for you.
44:01But you gave me hope.
44:04Hope that I could live.
44:09That I didn't deserve to die.
44:15You're scared of them, aren't you?
44:18All those men you talked about
44:20that could destroy me.
44:25You never really believed
44:26you could save me, did you?
44:35I'll be appointing a new solicitor.
44:39Goodbye, Mr. Bickford.
44:42Goodbye, Mr. Bickford.
44:45Goodbye, Mr. Bickford.
44:49Goodbye, Mr. Bickford.
44:51Goodbye, Mr. Bickford.
45:09You found your husband
45:10in the marital bed
45:12with a lady who goes by
45:13the professional moniker
45:14Madam Feather.
45:16That's right.
45:17He has agreed to a divorce.
45:19You say you only want
45:20what's rightfully yours.
45:22Yes.
45:25We'll get you the whole bloody lot.
45:29I've got a telephone for you, sir.
45:31It's Holloway Prison.
45:47Bigfoot, I'm Victor Mishkin.
45:50I handled Ruth's divorce.
45:51I believe she's asked for me.
45:55Why has she fired you?
45:59I've been carrying a bomb
46:00in my briefcase
46:02and I didn't have the guts
46:03to detonate it.
46:06Try to get her to tell you
46:07about the gun.
46:16This is Ellis.
46:20I believe you have something
46:21to tell me
46:22that might save your life.
46:38I believe you have something
46:40I believe you have something
46:40to tell you about your life.
46:40I believe you have something

46:44to tell you about your life.
