00:00Young white woman with cropped auburn hair is holding up a young child with light brown skin
00:05to the window of the bus they're on. It glides past the London Eye.
00:11Bouncing him on her knee tenderly, she smiles. Amy Fionn Edwards.
00:16Now a man's helping her off the bus with their pram.
00:25Jordan Bolger, Laurie Kiniston with Daniel Mays. Believe me.
00:31Now they're strolling through a sunny park as she pushes the boy in the pram.
00:45She crouches turning his pram so they're face to face.
00:48What do you think? Two fears.
00:53She's tugged the hair back from her face.
00:55So this is where you were born?
00:56It's nice enough around here, but I thought you'd want some fresh air and trees.
01:01That was us up there, number 17, do you remember?
01:04Now she's pointed out second and third floor windows on a building on a street,
01:08then stopping a few doors down.
01:10And this is where daddy still lives.
01:14I can never remember what number he is.
01:16What? 23-8?
01:196th of May, 2003.
01:2137?
01:23Anyway, he is going to be so excited to see you.
01:27Can we just get together properly?
01:29Me and him?
01:31Having live with us?
01:33He says he'd like to.
01:35I suppose I do love him, but we argue a lot.
01:40What do you think?
01:42You still haven't told me what to do with my hair.
01:45So who else is going tonight?
01:47Frankie just had a few friends.
01:49Guys and girls, or?
01:51No, just guys.
01:52Now inside the flat.
01:54Not feeling jealous of you?
01:55No.
01:57Connor, this is my first fucking night out as a mother.
01:59Do you have to swear?
02:00I'm not about to just jump into bed with anyone.
02:02Probably you'd care.
02:04Who says I wouldn't care?
02:07Yeah, well, they wouldn't be interested in me.
02:09Why?
02:10Why wouldn't they be interested in you?
02:13I mean, yes, they're all guys, but they're also all gays.
02:17Now she's dressed up and Connor's still holding their son, Jack,
02:20having given him a bottle of milk.
02:22There's more milk in the fridge if you need it.
02:25But that was formula.
02:26Started him on that now because I'm not producing enough anymore.
02:31She smiles at Jack.
02:32Work for down.
02:33Bit more me, isn't it?
02:35Yeah.
02:37So that one earlier, that was your milk?
02:40Yeah, I expressed it earlier today.
02:43You put this thing on your tits and it sucks away at me like I'm a cow in a milking
02:46machine.
02:47But it took ages, didn't it?
02:49Because I pretty much went dry now.
02:51She kisses Connor on the lips.
02:53Should be too late.
02:55Actually, it's hard if I'm going to fall asleep at nine o'clock.
02:57Have you got some money for a cab?
02:59I don't want you messing around with the bus.
03:0120 quid in the secret compartment.
03:03Yeah, you got your keys.
03:04She holds them up.
03:06And a black cab, please.
03:08And also, also, also.
03:10You look lovely.
03:12Sarah smiles at Connor, who is biracial with light brown skin, then goes.
03:18She's left her phone behind on the table.
03:20Now in a lively club surrounded by her male friends.
03:23Very nice.
03:25The big boy.
03:26Beautiful.
03:27Go, go, go.
03:29Shot time.
03:29Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot.
03:30Okay, yeah, yeah.
03:31Yeah, no, you'll be fine.
03:33Right, cheers.
03:34Thanks for coming in.
03:36Sarah grimaces as she necks her shot.
03:38Her brown-haired, pale-skinned friend Frankie smiles bashfully as the others begin singing.
03:43Happy birthday to you.
03:45Happy birthday, dear Frankie.
03:48Happy birthday to you.
03:50Happy birthday to you.
03:51Let's go, kids.
03:53Let's go.
03:54Now Frankie and Sarah are at the bar.
03:56Hiya.
03:56Can I have one vodka and coke and...
03:59Just a Coke, please.
04:00Roll up.
04:00Two vodka and coke.
04:01Thank you, but I'm getting battered on my first night out. Yes, you are anyway
04:04I've got some magical marching powder for later to keep you awake. Come on. You said you were having fun
04:09with me tonight
04:10It's my birthday. You're having fun with me. Absolutely fucking not. You fucking are anyway, right, so
04:15Dominic
04:16I'm making myself all vulnerable. I'm giving him everything. I'm giving I love you. I'm giving I want to have
04:21your babies
04:22Yeah, I want it easy. He wants to be friends with benefits. He's an asshole. I was devastated though. You've
04:27had one without him
04:27I know, but you're so fit. Thank you. Cheers
04:33Now she's chatting to friend Finn by the dance floor
04:36And we exchanged rings. I even took him to meet my mom and dad. What happened? I looked through his
04:41phone when he was asleep
04:42I know he's been cheating on me with at least five other guys. He's an asshole. Yeah
04:49Am I around? Frankie's missed you so much. You're allowed
04:54Shit. What? You have a phone at home
04:57In the toilets
04:59And I'll be honest, I broke it off
05:01He just got too clingy. Do you think that makes me an asshole?
05:04No, he is
05:06I mean I don't know what for but I'm going to go with him being the asshole
05:09Thank you honey
05:10From a cubicle
05:11Left a line in there
05:12Oh, thank you
05:13There you go
05:15Why did you have to come to the ladies' toilets out of interest?
05:17Because your toilets are so much nicer than ours. I'll stink of piss
05:23Right
05:23Now
05:24Are you sure we need to go?
05:25No, I already said no thank you
05:26Come on, don't be a party pooper
05:28No
05:28No
05:29Fuck off, will you?
05:31Okay, we're not going to let you leave until you do
05:33I don't like it
05:34Please Sarah, it's my birthday. I'll be very sad
05:37Don't ruin his birthday
05:37You don't look very sad
05:39Sarah reluctantly takes a dab from Frankie's paper wrap
05:43Yay
05:46There, now let me out please
05:47I want to spend all night in the bog with you two
05:49That's our girl
05:50Now hazel-eyed Sarah in her halterneck green top
05:53Is dancing enthusiastically under disco lights
05:56With Mike, who she and Frankie had been in the loose with
05:59Finn and Frankie
06:00Now she's sitting glumly in a booze
06:02Her handbag that's missing her phone on the table before her
06:05Frankie, now minus his pink feather boa, approaches
06:08There you are
06:10No, I don't want another drink
06:12I definitely don't want a more coke
06:13And I'm all out of advice
06:14They're all arseholes looking
06:17I was actually just going to ask you
06:19Whether you wanted me to get you a cab
06:21Yes, she's going to be here
06:22Come on, mama
06:24Let's go
06:25Now Frankie and Mike are talking to a black cab driver
06:29Outside the club
06:31Is that alright?
06:33Sarah!
06:34He's going to take you
06:36She hugs Finn
06:38Get home safe
06:39Yeah, yeah, yeah
06:40Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
06:40Frankie kisses her getting the passenger door
06:43Thanks, mate
06:44Love you
06:45See you later
06:45Chat in a bit, babe
06:47Get home
06:47Her friends all wave to her in the back of the black cab
06:50As it heads down the bustling London street
06:53Now she's dozing as the cab trundles along
06:56City lights casting orbs of colour across the window
07:00The driver talks to her
07:01You're very popular
07:03She wearily opens her eyes
07:06Good night
07:07Good night
07:07Certainly look like it
07:09All them blokes are like bees
07:10Well, honeypot
07:13It was a friend's birthday party
07:15They were all over here
07:16Actually, they were all gay
07:17So it wasn't quite what I've seen
07:19Really?
07:20Look, they don't know what they're missing
07:22If you don't mind me saying
07:23I think you look absolutely gorgeous tonight
07:27I reckon you could probably have termed one on term
07:30If you wanted to
07:32Well, I'm not sure about that
07:34It's just nice to have a night out
07:37Why's that then?
07:37Just got out of prison or something?
07:39Yeah, not far off
07:41I've got a nine-month-old baby
07:42I'm a single mum
07:43This is the first time I've been out since he was born
07:46Sorry, look, before we go any further
07:48What number Walgate Road was it?
07:50Oh, just, um
07:51Just take me to number 17
07:52They'll be fine
07:5317?
07:54Right
07:55She watches him appear to write that down in a notebook
07:58And you live on your own, do you?
08:00Yeah
08:03Right, yo
08:04She's given him a nod
08:06Looking vaguely disinterested
08:07Then attempts to doze off again
08:10So what's that like, then?
08:12You know, spending the night with a load of gay guys
08:15Oh, they're lovely
08:16But you do end up just being an agony aunt
08:19Oh, I bet
08:22Wouldn't it be nice if someone at some point asked how I was doing
08:27Okay, well I'll ask
08:29The driver glances through the rearview mirror at her
08:32How are you doing?
08:34Oh, you know, getting on I suppose
08:39But it's hard being on your own
08:41Why are you a single mum then?
08:44Well, it's my choice as much as his
08:46I want us to be together because we want to be together
08:48Not because we have to be
08:51Yeah, I'll get that
08:52Beads of rain have formed on the windows
08:54As the wipers sweep rhythmically across the windscreen
08:57Well, I've had a great night tonight
09:00I had a big win at the casino earlier
09:03Would you believe?
09:04Alright, good for you
09:05Here
09:06Where are these lot?
09:0840 grand!
09:10Can you believe it?
09:11Oh, wow
09:11Yeah, I've been wanting to celebrate
09:13But I've got to finish my shift first, don't I?
09:16Can't drink and drive
09:17I'll lose my licence and be back to square one
09:20I was wondering if you'd have a drink for me
09:23Oh, no
09:23Would I celebrate for me like?
09:25No
09:26I've got some champagne here
09:27No, I've already had too much to drink tonight
09:29Raise a glass for me
09:31I've been stuck here behind this wheel
09:32Desperate to wear someone to say cheers
09:34No, thanks
09:35Come on
09:37Do me a favour and have a drink on me
09:39Why don't you give me a bottle of bubbly at the casino
09:41With me winnings, you know
09:42At least let me see someone enjoy my good luck
09:44The lights have changed from red to green
09:46As he offers her a plastic glass full of liquid
09:52Hey
09:53Reluctantly easing her belt, she takes it
09:55Thank you
09:57She takes a chaste sip of the drink
09:59Frowning slightly at the contents
10:01As the cab starts moving again
10:05So what are you going to do with all that money?
10:07To start with, your journey home is on me tonight, alright?
10:11Oh, thanks
10:12Oh, I don't know
10:13Take some time off
10:15Go on a holiday
10:16Hopefully find someone to go with me
10:20Um, will you keep being a cabbie?
10:22Probably
10:22I like meeting people
10:24I like talking to them
10:25The cab grinds to a halt
10:27Sorry, I spilt the drink
10:29No problem
10:31You can knock this one back
10:33There, go on
10:35He offers another glass back through the dividing screen
10:38Oh, come on
10:39You've got to drink it now
10:41You're going to give me bad luck
10:43But go on, knock it back
10:46Looking uncomfortable, she accepts it
10:48You got it?
10:50She drains the glass and holds it up
10:54Cheers
10:54Cheers
10:55Cheers
10:58Looking increasingly more like she just wants to be back at the flat and the journey over
11:02Sarah gives a fatigued sigh with her elbow propped up on the windowpane
11:06Resting her head against her hand, she once more closes her eyes
11:12You okay?
11:14Want anything else?
11:16Um, no, nothing thanks
11:18Her head gently shakes with the movement of the cab
11:24Have a drink
11:25No thanks
11:27You smoke?
11:31Trying to give her
11:33Her eyes are still closed
11:37Now the cab's headlights pierce the gloom
11:40As it drives into what looks like the rear service area of a building complex
11:44It has several external air conditioning condenser units and large waste bins
11:49Sarah rouses woozily as overhead industrial-style lights from a covered walkway blur past her window
11:56A multi-story building looms beyond
11:58What's going on?
12:02Thought we'd stop for a little city break
12:06Yeah
12:07The cab now stopped
12:09Sarah groggily leans forward
12:13Come on
12:14She reaches for the cigarette poking out of its packet
12:17Take it
12:20Thanks
12:21Where are we?
12:23Barely able to keep her eyes open
12:25Sarah sinks back onto the seat as her head drops to her chest
12:29The pale-skinned, dark-haired driver gets out and peers through the passenger window
12:37She lifts her head and opens her eyes as he gets in
12:40I'll have one with you
12:44He sits beside her as she struggles to sit up
12:47Then unsteadily leans forward, allowing him to light her cigarette
12:54Inhaling it weakly, she slumps back as he lights his own
12:58Rolling her head across the headrest
13:01Lovely man
13:04All part of service
13:06She looks up at him as his face blurs into focus, his hazel eyes hooded by thick brows boring into
13:12her
13:13Her world flickers as she sinks into sleep
13:44End of part one
13:45She looks up with effort in the same clothes she'd been wearing in the cab
13:49She tugs an IV cannula from her arm and gets out of the bed looking troubled
13:54She has bruises over her left shoulder and upper arm
14:01Making her way unsteadily into the hospital's stark corridor
14:05She has no shoes
14:06Her socks and boot-cut jeans brushing the dark red floor
14:10Which is illuminated by overhead lighting
14:15Having located a toilet
14:16She goes in and starts unbuttoning her jeans
14:19She's wearing black tights beneath them
14:21And as she pulls them down
14:23She finds them ripped
14:24Looking confused
14:26She sits down on the bowl
14:32She winces slightly
14:34Gripping her bare thighs with her fingers
14:36The harsh light accentuating the redness of her bruising
14:40She goes to wipe herself with some tissue
14:42Then draws back her fingers
14:44Seeing thick, moist liquid on them
14:48She leans forward
14:50Looking pained
14:51As she lets out a gasp
14:55She looks down
14:57Then her eyes slowly widen
14:59With a horrified realisation
15:07Now she's wandering back
15:09Into the ward
15:10Looking tearful
15:11And distressed
15:12As she paces anxiously
15:14A nurse approaches her
15:16Oh, are you okay?
15:17Please can you help me?
15:19I've left my phone at home
15:20And I need to call my boyfriend
15:20Just calm down for me
15:22You seemed a bit drunk
15:23When you came in last night
15:23So when you just take a seat
15:24I'll be with you
15:25I was like, no, I wasn't drunk
15:27The nurse tends to the patient opposite
15:29Leaving Sarah looking bewildered
15:31Now Connor meets her on a bench
15:33Outside with Jack in the prowl
15:34Sarah, hey
15:36What's going on?
15:36Where have you been?
15:37He hugs her
15:39Oh, don't touch him
15:40I'm doing him
15:41It's disgusting
15:41Alex, Alex
15:43What's going on?
15:44What happened?
15:45I think I was raped last night
15:47Rape?
15:48What do you mean, think?
15:49By who?
15:50I was drugged and raped
15:52By who?
15:53By the cab driver
15:54He must have put something
15:55In my drink
15:56Because
15:57Oh, he's got my handbag
15:58I haven't got my purse
15:59Or my glasses
15:59I've raped you
16:00Yeah, but I can't remember
16:02Any of it
16:02Because he must have
16:03Drugged me
16:04Now in a room inside
16:06He said he'd won some money
16:07At a casino
16:09And he wanted to celebrate
16:10And then he gave me this drink
16:13He said it was champagne
16:14But I remember it tasted funny
16:17I smelt the one glass
16:20And then he gave me another
16:21And in the end
16:23I just drank it
16:24To shut him up
16:26Toxicology tests
16:27Will establish
16:27If there was anything
16:28In the drink
16:29Can you describe him, please?
16:33She recalls a blurry image
16:35Of the driver smoking
16:37That's who's
16:3840 to 50 years old
16:41Of medium build
16:44His hair was neat at the back
16:46He looked like he'd just been cut
16:48A suited woman makes a note
16:51Can you tell us what he did to you?
16:54Well, no, I can't
16:56Because I don't remember any of it
16:58Well, I'm certain
16:59He drugged me
17:01And, um
17:03And this morning
17:06My vagina felt sore
17:09And, um
17:09There was what felt like
17:10Lubricant around it
17:13And my tights
17:14All torn around my crotch area
17:17Is there a chance
17:18You might have had sex
17:19With someone earlier in the night
17:20And maybe forgotten about it?
17:21No
17:22Definitely not
17:24A suited man
17:26Now, I can tell you, Sarah
17:27You were brought to a police station
17:28Last night
17:29By a young man
17:29Who lives at
17:3117 Walgate Road
17:32The driver and a young man
17:34You said number seven ring
17:37That's where I used to live
17:39Yeah, but
17:39Why did you go to 17, though?
17:41Because
17:42Well, I can never remember
17:43What number you were
17:44So I must have said 17
17:45And then I knew you
17:45A couple of doors down
17:47So before I was brought
17:48To the hospital
17:49He took me to the police station
17:50Him and the taxi driver
17:52The taxi driver
17:53That's the guy that rapes her
17:55Does he have his name?
17:56We should do
17:57Yeah
17:58We're going to need
17:59A urine sample
18:00And a mouth swab
18:01Okay
18:02Did you bring her
18:03A change of clothes?
18:04Yeah
18:05PC Belitha
18:06Will be taking you
18:07To a specialist rape centre
18:08For an examination
18:10You've not had a bath or shower
18:12Since last night, have you?
18:14Sitting opposite
18:15The man and woman
18:16Interviewing her
18:16Who are both white
18:17And brown haired
18:18Sarah shakes her head
18:24Now she's gripping
18:25The side of an examination bed
18:27That she's lying on
18:28She's in a hospital gown
18:29With her legs slightly parted
18:31As a grey haired doctor
18:33Sitting at the base of the bed
18:34Is looking closely between them
18:36Wearing clinical gloves
18:40She has more bruises
18:42On her inner thigh
18:43And just above her eyebrow
18:44As the bearded doctor
18:46Now on his feet
18:47Examines them
18:48And the ones on her arm
18:49She flinches
18:51Could you turn over please?
18:53I need to accept
18:53Your back passage
18:55Your anus
18:57In case he penetrated you there?
18:59No, I don't know
19:00If someone had anal sex with me
19:01I'd feel it
19:02I'm sorry
19:03I have to
19:04As tears well up
19:06In her eyes
19:06Sarah forlornly obeys
19:08Slowly turning on her side
19:10So she's facing away
19:11From the doctor
19:14She tenses her lips
19:15And squeezes her eyes shut
19:17Her face contorting
19:18With quiet agony
19:20Now with the suited woman
19:22Bolitho
19:22In another room in the hospital
19:25We'll be arranging
19:26What's called
19:26An achieving best evidence
19:27Interview with you
19:28Where you come into the station
19:29While it's all fresh in your mind
19:31Haven't I already done that?
19:33Sorry, but it needs to be done
19:34And should you wish
19:35We can arrange an appointment
19:36For you at the
19:37Sexually transmitted diseases clinic
19:41Yeah, I do wish
19:42Okay
19:42There are also
19:43Victim support services
19:44That we can connect you with
19:47Thank you
19:47Now your bag, glasses and purse
19:49Are not missing
19:50I've been told they were taken
19:51For forensic examination
19:52Okay, because
19:53I need my glasses to read
19:55Now
19:55Is there anything else
19:56You want to tell us?
19:58Anything you want to tell us about now
19:59Sarah
19:59That might be relevant?
20:01If you mean
20:02Did I have sex with anyone else
20:03Last night
20:03I've already told you
20:03No, I didn't
20:05But I
20:07I do want to tell you one thing
20:09I really regret it
20:10But I did have a little bit
20:11Of cocaine last night
20:12Okay
20:13My friends just kept on at me
20:14And
20:15I gave in
20:16And just had a little dab
20:17Just to shut them up
20:18But it was
20:18It was only a tiny amount
20:19You're better off telling us now
20:20Rather than us not knowing
20:21And finding it in your samples
20:24So embarrassed
20:26Now Belitho and Sarah
20:27Arrive back at the flat
20:31Can I search her?
20:32Yeah
20:32No, I still haven't had to shower
20:34Mr O'Carroll
20:35Would you be able to come back
20:36To the station with me now
20:37To make a statement?
20:37Why?
20:38We just want to be as thorough as possible
20:40He can confirm certain timings
20:42And details and so on
20:43Okay
20:44Yeah
20:44That makes sense
20:46Alright
20:47I won't be long
20:48Her eye makeup smudged
20:50Sarah offers brown-eyed Connor
20:52A weak smile
20:53As he follows Belitho out
20:55Now at the station
20:57She um
20:58She came to London for college
20:59Was in digs in the area
21:00And initially we were just neighbours
21:03And what about family?
21:04Did she have family down here with her?
21:06And they're all still
21:07Um
21:08Living in Newport
21:09So she hardly ever sees me
21:10How would you describe Sarah's alcohol intake?
21:14I mean she likes to drink
21:15But like in a fun way
21:16I'd say it's normal
21:18Does she binge drink?
21:20Nah
21:20I mean like I said
21:21She likes to have a laugh
21:22On a night out
21:23Um
21:23And she actually hadn't been
21:25On a night out
21:26Quite a while before that
21:27Because of the baby
21:28So
21:30Maybe she
21:31She got drunk quicker
21:32And what about drugs?
21:34What kind of drugs?
21:35Marijuana
21:37Cocaine
21:37No
21:37No
21:38I've never
21:38Never seen her take any
21:39Kind of drug
21:41Not cocaine?
21:44No
21:45Not
21:45Not that I know of
21:47Meanwhile back at the flat
21:48Sarah's emerged from the bathroom
21:50In a towel
21:51And checks herself in a mirror
21:53We have to ask this Connor
21:55Would you say that Sarah's
21:56A sexually promiscuous person?
22:00No
22:00I wouldn't say promiscuous
22:02Um
22:03But
22:03What do you mean?
22:05Again we have to ask
22:05Is she the type of person who
22:08For example
22:08Might meet up with someone
22:10On a night out
22:10And have sex with them?
22:12Sarah's looking at her bruises
22:15I don't know
22:16I maybe feel bad about that
22:18Afterwards
22:18I don't know
22:19Um
22:20No
22:21No
22:22No
22:23Not if she's
22:24In a relationship
22:26Now he arrives back
22:27To his living room
22:28Where Sarah's
22:29Sitting in a dressing gown
22:31How you feeling?
22:32If he drove me
22:33To the station
22:34In a taxi
22:35Then they must have his name
22:36Or his badge number
22:37Or his license number
22:39I mean
22:39Yeah
22:40I suppose so
22:41Yeah they must do
22:43At least he'll be
22:44Going around his house now
22:45And arresting him
22:46He gives her
22:47An uncertain smile
22:49I'm gonna get a beer
22:50Do you um
22:51Do you want something
22:52Do you want something?
22:52Oh
22:52Glass of wine
22:54Connor who has a toned physique
22:56No hair on his head
22:58And a goatee beard
22:59And moustache
23:00Fishes a beer
23:01From the kitchen fridge
23:02Then a bottle
23:02From nearby
23:05It's a bit odd though
23:06Ain't it
23:07You know
23:09If he raped you
23:10They'd then
23:10Take me to a police station
23:15What do you mean if?
23:17No I don't mean anything like that
23:19It's just a
23:20Figure of speech
23:22He hands her a red wine
23:23As she stares up at him
23:26What did the police ask you?
23:28Just general stuff really
23:30About last night
23:31Times and stuff
23:33He watches her
23:35As she knocks back her wine
23:39You see when you're feeding Jack
23:41Does it matter
23:42If you've been drinking alcohol?
23:46A little bit doesn't matter
23:48Connor nods
23:49Taking a swig of his beer
23:52Anyway I pretty much
23:53Stopped feeding him now
23:55Yeah
23:58Why'd you just ask me that?
24:00I'm just wondering
24:01Just wait for fuck's sake
24:03I'm all over the fucking place
24:05I just
24:06He's followed her
24:07Into the kitchen
24:07I'm sorry
24:08I'm sorry
24:09Come on
24:10He hugs her
24:11The taxi driver
24:13Trove to the station
24:14They must be able
24:15To find out who he is
24:19End of part two
24:26For urine sample
24:27We test for chlamydia
24:29And gonorrhea
24:30And with the blood sample
24:31We can check for syphilis
24:33Hepatitis B
24:34Or C
24:34And HIV
24:35HIV?
24:37HIV
24:38You could fucking die from that
24:40If necessary
24:41We can provide you with PEP
24:43Which is a medication
24:44That can help prevent
24:46HIV infection
24:47If commenced
24:48Soon after exposure
24:50The nurse will also be
24:52Providing you with
24:53Emergency contraception
24:55And warning after pill
24:58Sarah is sitting
24:59Opposite the doctor
24:59Who's talking to her
25:01In a consultation room
25:02At the hospital
25:02Now at the flat
25:04She's on the phone
25:06Hello
25:07Oh hello
25:07Is this PC Blitho
25:09Yes that's me
25:10Uh hi
25:11Yeah um
25:12This is Sarah Adams
25:13Hello Sarah
25:14How are you feeling this morning
25:15Yeah um
25:16I just wanted to ask
25:17If you managed to trace
25:18The black cab driver
25:19That dropped me
25:19At the police station
25:20I actually don't have
25:21That information
25:21But in any case
25:22I'm actually not
25:23Handling this investigation
25:25It's been passed on
25:26To my colleague
25:27DC Stevens
25:27And he'll be in touch
25:28With you in due course
25:31Right but this man
25:32Is still out there
25:33I just want to know
25:34That he's been arrested
25:36DC Stevens is the man
25:37To ask
25:39Now Sarah's outside
25:40A building a few doors down
25:42With Jack in his pram
25:43The young man
25:44The driver was speaking to
25:45Emerges
25:47Hello um
25:47I was looking for a guy
25:48Who helped me
25:49The other night
25:49I was in a bit of a state
25:51Hope don't mind me
25:52Knocking on your door like this
25:53No no it's fine
25:54Uh yeah that was
25:55That was me um
25:56You look a bit different
25:57As what you did there
25:57Oh god I can only imagine
26:00Have you got a couple of minutes
26:01To talk about it
26:03Now inside
26:03They're provided hot drinks
26:05By a young woman
26:06Thanks Pete
26:07Thank you
26:09She leaves them to it
26:11It's so funny
26:12I used to live here
26:12Really?
26:14So you're all students sharing
26:15Yeah
26:17And you got the short straw
26:18When you opened the door
26:20I thought someone was
26:21Trying to break in
26:22In a flashback
26:23The young man
26:24Billy
26:25Is heading downstairs
26:26Where the driver's at the door
26:27What do you mean man?
26:28Uh there's a
26:30Girl with my taxi
26:30Who lives here
26:31She says this is her
26:33Front door key
26:34No look
26:35But she said
26:36Number 17
26:38Now she don't live here
26:39Billy sees Sarah
26:41On the floor
26:41Of the back of the cab
26:42By what looks like
26:43A puddle of vomit
26:45She was like that
26:46When I picked her up
26:46A warring drug
26:49You need to go
26:49To the police station now
26:54I could see
26:55It was more than just drink
26:56So I immediately wondered
26:57If you were drugged
26:58I was
27:00By him
27:00I'm sure of it
27:02Brown-eyed Billy
27:03Leans back in his chair
27:05I'm pretty sure
27:06You assaulted me
27:07On the way home
27:08Fuck
27:10I can sense something
27:11Was not right about him
27:12Listen
27:13The woman's outside
27:14There in his taxi
27:14She's basically unconscious
27:15Let's have it right
27:16She's thrown up
27:17All over the back of my cab
27:18I can't pick up
27:19Any more jobs
27:20Till I get it cleaned up
27:22A flashback of Sarah
27:23Being helped by officers
27:25Into the station
27:25As Billy watches
27:27Then turns seeing the driver
27:29Head off in his cab
27:31I didn't see them
27:32Take his name
27:33They didn't even get my name
27:34What?
27:36When they got you inside
27:37Hung around for a bit
27:38She's not drunk
27:40Okay
27:40You can tell by looking at
27:41She's been drugged
27:43So why aren't you
27:43Checking out the cab driver
27:44There's no way
27:45A cabbie would pick someone up
27:46In that state
27:47Something's not right
27:48An ambulance has been called
27:49We'll take it from here
27:50They weren't interested
27:51In anything I had to say
27:53Eventually the ambulance turns up
27:55And they ask me to go home
27:57I think they thought
27:57That you were off your head
27:58On drink
27:58Or you were a junkie
28:01I got a good look at him
28:03If you showed me a picture
28:04I'd be able to identify him
28:07Thank you so much
28:08For helping me
28:10Is it okay
28:11If I give the police your name?
28:12Of course
28:12Anything I can do to help
28:14Okay
28:16Now on the phone
28:17As she's crouched by Jack
28:18In a park
28:20Hello
28:20Can I help?
28:21Yeah
28:21DC Paul Stevens please
28:23This is Sarah Adams
28:24He's investigating my case
28:25He's not available right now
28:27Okay
28:27Well I have some information
28:28That might be helpful
28:29So if someone could call me back
28:31As soon as possible please
28:32Righto
28:32We've got your number
28:33Someone will be in touch
28:34Thank you
28:35Thank you
28:37They won't
28:38I know they won't
28:41She's hung up
28:42And now talking to Jack
28:43On the bandstand
28:44Of the leafy sun-dappled park
28:4612th of May 2003
28:48It's daytime
28:49And Sarah's coming down
28:50The main staircase
28:51Of the flat
28:52To answer the door
28:53To a man and woman
28:54Both white and smartly dressed
28:56Waiting outside
28:58This is Davis
28:59This is DC King
29:00I've been trying to speak to someone
29:01For a couple of days
29:02Yes
29:02Sorry
29:03Things have been extremely busy
29:04Now in a car
29:06Did anyone get the taxi driver's name
29:07When he took me to the police station?
29:09There's this guy at number 17
29:11Billy
29:12Who helped me on the night it happened
29:14Billy says that he thinks that you didn't
29:16But I'm hoping that you did
29:17Or you have something on CCTV
29:19I don't know I'm afraid
29:20But we can certainly look into that
29:22Well there must be something
29:23Alright well
29:24You leave that with us
29:26If you take a left up in the lights
29:28We can avoid the moment
29:29Sarah spots the multi-story building
29:32Oh my god
29:33That's it
29:34It was round the back of those flats
29:35The road he took me down
29:36Well where should I go down there?
29:38Alright
29:38We'll make a note
29:39And we'll send someone down
29:42Yeah there might be DNA there or something
29:44I can tell you exactly where he parked
29:45Okay
29:46Okay
29:46We'll look into it
29:48Sitting in the back of the car
29:49As DC King drives
29:51Sarah shifts restlessly
29:53Oh um
29:54I went to a GP
29:54And he made a note
29:56Of all the bruises
29:56They've got all over my body
29:57Though he might want to take
29:58Some photos of them
30:00Well
30:00They could have been caused
30:01At the hospital of course
30:02As you were unconscious
30:03When they were moving you
30:04But about today
30:05It's called
30:06Achieving best evidence interview
30:07Yeah they told me what it was
30:08Right
30:09Well there'll be other officers
30:10Doing the interview
30:10But if you like
30:12I can give you a heads up
30:13On what to expect
30:13When they question you
30:14Oh yeah okay
30:15Thanks
30:16Now being interviewed on camera
30:18Had you already had a lot to drink that night
30:22I had a few drinks yes
30:23But I wouldn't say that I was drunk
30:24When I got in the cab
30:28You had some cocaine too
30:33Yes like I say
30:36I was pressured into it by my friends
30:38And I regret it
30:39She's in a room with Stevens
30:41And another man
30:41PC Wright
30:42Who's asking the questions
30:43You drank the champagne
30:45That he offered you
30:48Yes
30:48It tasted sort of funny
30:53Sort of bitter
30:54But after that it's fragments
30:57Where did you wake up?
31:00In the hospital
31:02I went to the toilet
31:04And I could see that my tights
31:06Were torn around the crotch
31:08I had lubricant
31:10Around my vagina
31:10And on my thighs
31:12And my vagina felt sore
31:16Why do you think you were raped?
31:20Because of how my vagina felt
31:22Now consulting with King and Stevens
31:24In another interview room
31:25I've never seen a rape victim
31:27Behave like that before
31:28She's not crying
31:29There's no emotion
31:30Was she like that
31:31When you picked her up?
31:32Then back to Sarah
31:34Okay
31:34They're happy
31:36We haven't missed anything
31:38How do you think it went?
31:40Well if I'm honest
31:42It was unusual
31:44What do you mean?
31:45Most women in your situation
31:46They get angry
31:47They get upset
31:50I was told not to show any emotion
31:51There's no right or wrong
31:53It's just what it is
31:54That's how you reacted
31:57He said you wanted facts
31:58Not tears
32:00That's what he said to me
32:01His exact words
32:01I wouldn't worry about it
32:02It's done now
32:04I'll organise a lift for you
32:07No thank you
32:07I'll find my own way home
32:10Now over dinner at the flat
32:12Connor watches Sarah
32:14Take a swig of her red wine
32:16Then she briefly leaves the table
32:18To grab her handbag
32:19How are you feeling now?
32:22Shit
32:24Presenting a packet of cigarettes
32:25She removes one
32:27Readying a lighter
32:36She runs her hand over her face
32:39Looking flustered
32:42I do want to ask you something
32:46Tensing her lips
32:47She turns to him
32:52How come you stayed out
32:53So late that night?
32:56I don't know
32:58It was just how the night went
32:59You could have texted me
33:00I was worried about it
33:01Because I left my phone at home
33:02What is this Connor?
33:04I'm just
33:04I'm trying to understand
33:05What happened
33:07She stares at him
33:09Open mouthed
33:10Her eyes betraying
33:11A look of hurt and disbelief
33:12Their meal turned sour
33:14They sit awkwardly
33:15At the dinner table
33:16End of part three
33:23Sarah's trudging down a street
33:24Lined with boarded up
33:25Or graffitied buildings
33:28Looking slightly shaken
33:30By a young woman
33:31Hailing a black cab nearby
33:33She quickens her pace
33:34As she walks past it
33:35Pulling up
33:36She remembers the hazy image
33:38Of the driver
33:39Peering through her passenger window
33:41Then she spots something
33:43Staring up at it
33:48She's in the rear service area
33:50Where the driver had taken them
33:51Now under a blue sky
33:53She surveys her surroundings
33:55With a frown
33:56Taking in the bins
33:57The air conditioning units
33:58And the heavy concrete
34:00Elevated walkways
34:01With metal railings
34:07She goes to light a cigarette
34:09Then recoils slightly
34:11At the memory
34:11Of the driver
34:12Lighting her cigarette
34:13In the cab
34:19Lovely man
34:21She removes the unlit cigarette
34:23From her mouth
34:24Looking troubled
34:26Now with Connor
34:27At the flat
34:29Maybe they can show me
34:30Pictures of all the
34:30Black cab drivers in London
34:31Babe there's thousands of them
34:33I don't care
34:33I'm sure I'd recognise him
34:36On my jeans
34:37When I dropped the drink
34:38That he gave me
34:38There'll be some of that
34:39On them
34:39On my top
34:40They were sick on it
34:41So if they test that
34:42They can find a way
34:42To drug me with
34:43I think we just need to
34:44Leave it to the police now
34:45They're going to know
34:46The best way to go about these
34:47They don't seem to have
34:47Much urgency about them
34:48Well I mean
34:49Is there any chance
34:50You've got things
34:51Mixed up in your head
34:51Because you
34:55What
34:57Because of what
34:59Because you took coke
35:02How do you know
35:03I took coke
35:03I just put two and two together
35:05I mean the police
35:06Didn't say it
35:07In that many words
35:08But I just assumed
35:09From how they spoke
35:09Fucking bastards
35:11I can't believe
35:11They talked to you about that
35:12It was just a little bit
35:13Just franguing
35:14Fucking on and on at me
35:15Look I told them
35:16I've never seen you do coke
35:17That was private information
35:18Hang on
35:19Jack's my son too
35:21Meaning what
35:22You're breastfeeding
35:23So why would you do coke
35:25Because I'm a shit mum
35:26Obviously
35:27I'm not saying that
35:27I told you
35:28I pretty much stopped breastfeeding
35:29But okay
35:30I shouldn't have had any
35:31I don't know why I did
35:32I fucking hate myself
35:33I'm a shit mum
35:34Look that's not what I'm saying
35:35I'm just saying
35:37Maybe that made you go
35:38A little bit weird
35:41Do you know what made me go weird
35:44Test and see if I had HIV
35:46Or fucking syphilis
35:48Or worrying if I'm fucking pregnant
35:50Wait am I
35:51What are you
35:54I mean he gave me something
35:56She looks at him miserably
35:59All the tests were negative
36:02That's good
36:03Yeah I could say that
36:04No I mean
36:05I mean like
36:05Because there may be
36:07And I'm only saying maybe
36:09But maybe that means
36:10That you weren't assorted by him
36:12But I was
36:13But I just keep thinking
36:14If he did do something
36:16Why would he drive you
36:16To a police station
36:17Stop fucking saying if
36:19Now she's standing outside the flat
36:21With Jack and Connor
36:22Please Sarah
36:23Look just
36:23Just stay a couple more nights
36:25Until it calms down a bit
36:26It's not going to calm down
36:27In a couple of nights
36:28Sarah
36:30It's daytime
36:30And she storms off down the street
36:32Pushing Jack in his pram
36:34As Connor watches helplessly
36:37Sarah
36:39Now she's hanging
36:40Washing up on a line
36:41In a garden
36:42Bathed in sunshine
36:43She looks utterly deflated
36:45And tearful
36:46Jack's in his pram nearby
36:53Sorry love
36:56Gotta be quiet haven't I
36:57She goes over to him
36:59She's got lots of my mind
37:02Grown up stuff
37:05Sorry I'm such a misery
37:08I tell you what
37:10How about this
37:11Ready
37:12She does a forward roll
37:14Over a blanket on the grass
37:16How's that
37:18Okay what about this
37:20Then she does a cartwheel
37:22Is that better
37:27More
37:27Okay
37:29She's about to launch
37:31Into another cartwheel
37:34Who's that
37:35That doesn't count by the way
37:39Leaving brown eyed Jack
37:40In his pram outside
37:42Sarah heads to the door
37:43She opens it
37:45Spying an awkward looking Frankie
37:47Waiting there
37:48He smiles sympathetically
37:50Then pulls her in for a hug
37:53She closes her eyes
37:55Looking emotional
37:56As he holds her
37:57Now in the garden with Jack
37:59You know they told me
38:00They did have the taxi driver's name
38:03And then they said
38:03He gave them a false name
38:04And address
38:05And then finally told me
38:06Last week
38:06That nobody took his details
38:08At the station that night
38:11I can't believe
38:12How crap they are
38:13Well I'd recognise him
38:14And Mike would
38:15We had a big chat with him
38:17Before you got in
38:18When we were paying him
38:19Paying him?
38:20Yeah I gave him 20 quid
38:23What?
38:25He told me he was taking me home
38:26For free because he'd won
38:26Some money that night
38:28He'd even lied about that
38:31Surely there must be
38:32Some CCTV of his cab
38:34From the police station
38:35That's why I keep asking
38:36But they just don't seem interested
38:38Whereas they've mentioned
38:39About 50 times
38:40What they've been called
38:40Keen in my system
38:43I'm so sorry by that
38:44I'm such a twat
38:45It's my fault
38:47Should have said
38:48No one's stuck to it
38:49Hello
38:49Um yeah
38:50DC Stevens
38:51It's Sarah Adams
38:52Hi
38:53Yeah I do need to talk to you quickly
38:54I was with my friend
38:55Francis Peacock
38:55Who was with me
38:56The night it happened
38:57And him and another friend
38:58Mike Rafter
38:59Spoke to the taxi driver
39:00And Francis Frankie says
39:01That they would both
39:02Be able to identify him
39:03Look Sarah
39:04You've got to let us
39:05Do our job
39:06I know it's frustrating
39:07But we are doing
39:08Everything we can
39:08Did you talk to Billy Houghton
39:10The young guy that lives
39:10At 17 Wargate Road
39:11Who also got a good look at him
39:12I'm sure we will get
39:13To all of them in due course
39:14But for the time being
39:15Will you
39:16Because it
39:17It just feels like
39:18You've lost interest
39:18In everything
39:19I can assure you
39:20That's not the case
39:21It just
39:21It feels like
39:22You don't believe me
39:24I'm really sorry
39:25That it feels like
39:27Hi
39:27Yeah
39:27It's
39:28I'm Francis Peacock
39:29The guy she just mentioned
39:30I'm more than happy
39:31To come in
39:32And talk with you
39:32About the conversation
39:33I had with the taxi driver
39:34What's the fucking point
39:35Right
39:36Yeah
39:37I'm going to have to go
39:38Because she's really upset
39:39So
39:42What's the point
39:43Sitting with Frankie
39:45On a riverbank
39:46Scattered with autumnal leaves
39:47She rests her head
39:48On his shoulder
39:49As he comforts her
39:503rd of June 2003
39:52At the station
39:54Ryan Spencer
39:55What have we got
39:55No DNA from her swabs
39:57And nothing on her clothing
39:58It's not unusual
39:59It just means
39:59He probably wore a condom
40:01Toxicology
40:01Traced cocaine
40:03Blood alcohol
40:03260 over 100
40:05Which is pretty high
40:07Any other drugs
40:08Sedatives
40:08Anything we've seen before
40:09In cases of date
40:10Right
40:10That all came back negative
40:11I mean we did find
40:12Citalopram
40:13Which is actually
40:14An antidepressant
40:14And a little bit of
40:15Codeine and morphine
40:16But all the levels
40:18You'd expect
40:18From over the counter medications
40:20Right
40:22Thanks mate
40:243rd of September 2003
40:27Sarah's sitting alone
40:28On a bench
40:28In the dim light of day
40:29Looking thoughtful
40:30She hears her phone buzzing
40:35Hello
40:36Hello
40:36It's DC Paul Stevens
40:38Yeah hello
40:38Sorry for the delay
40:40In calling you
40:40It's been very busy
40:41Right
40:41So
40:42First thing to say
40:43Is that all avenues
40:44Were explored
40:46Did you speak
40:48To Billy Houghton
40:49And Frankie Peacock
40:51And Mike Rafter
40:51I did visit the nightclub
40:53You attended
40:53And I established
40:54That the area outside
40:55Is covered by CCTV
40:56But when I reviewed it
40:58From the camera angle
40:59It wasn't possible
40:59To identify the cab
41:00Picking you up
41:02Right
41:03What about when he dropped
41:04Me off the police station
41:06The forensic samples
41:07Taken from you
41:08Came up negative
41:08Except for the presence
41:09Of alcohol and cocaine
41:11And the medical examination
41:13Conducted upon you
41:15Found no evidence
41:15To corroborate your research
41:16And that you were
41:17Sexually assaulted
41:18Or raped
41:19Therefore
41:19In light of all of this
41:20I do have to tell you
41:21That our investigation
41:22Is being closed down
41:25You know
41:26It feels like you're
41:26Calling me a liar
41:28Like what about
41:28The bruises on me
41:29I asked to come in
41:30So you could take
41:30Proper pictures of them
41:31I believe something
41:32May have happened to you
41:33That night
41:33But I do not believe
41:35That you were raped
41:36Is it possible
41:37You had sex with
41:37One of the men
41:38You were out with
41:39They were all gay
41:41You must bear in mind
41:42That you were
41:43Over the drink drive limit
41:44And this will affect
41:45Your recollection of events
41:47You didn't even find out
41:48Where he was
41:48Did you
41:49I can tell you
41:50That the details
41:51Of your case
41:51Will be kept on file
41:52At central office
41:53If you would like
41:54To come and collect
41:55Your clothing and possessions
41:56I can arrange
41:56For somebody to hand
41:57Them over to you
41:58No
41:59No
41:59No
42:01You're going to need
42:01To hang on to them
42:02Because one day
42:03You're going to need
42:03Them as evidence
42:04When you realise
42:04You were wrong about me
42:06She slams her flip phone shut
42:08And rests her chin
42:10Defeatedly on her hand
42:11Before shaking her head
42:12Incredulously
42:16Still perched on the bench
42:17In the leafy park
42:18Where she's been with Jack
42:19She looks close to tears
42:27Daylight seeps in
42:28Through a kitchen window
42:29Above a sink
42:30Where a tall man
42:31Is hunched over
42:32A black laminate worktop
42:34Nearby
42:34Packets of various
42:36Pharmaceutical drugs
42:37Are by a blue plastic bag
42:39Full of bottles
42:39And he's crushing up
42:41Pills in an ashtray
42:42Using a metal spoon
42:47Having mixed them together
42:49He scoops out the powder
42:51Onto the worktop
42:52Now it's night time
42:54Now it's night time
42:54And scenes of revelers
42:55Some a little worse for wear
42:57Drift past a blurry car window
42:59Colourful neon lights
43:01Illuminate the street
43:02The driver's in his black cab
43:04DC Stevens' voice echoes
43:08If a licensed black cab driver
43:10Is involved in sexual attacks on women
43:12Then this represents a real risk
43:14To the community
43:14However
43:15The facts of the case
43:17Do not support this
43:18The actions of the cab driver
43:20Witnessed by police
43:21Appear to be those of a responsible
43:23Law-abiding individual
43:25In addition
43:26The woman's loss of consciousness
43:28Is consistent with the alcohol
43:30And cocaine she consumed
43:31Given her recent absence
43:33The risk
43:34Is therefore low
43:35Now a young white woman
43:37With long curly copper hair
43:39Is in the driver's cab
43:41Good night
43:43She looks up from her phone
43:44You look like you've enjoyed yourself
43:46Oh yeah
43:47It was just to catch up with friends
43:50Male or female
43:51Female
43:52I was going to say
43:53If it was a fella
43:54What a lucky guy he is
43:56The blue bag full of bottles
43:58Is by his feet
43:59I've had a great night tonight
44:01Myself
44:02Male or female
44:05You
