TVTranscript
00:00Young white woman with cropped auburn hair is holding up a young child with light brown skin to the window
00:06of the bus they're on.
00:07It glides past the London Eye.
00:11Bouncing him on her knee tenderly, she smiles.
00:14Amy Fionn Edwards.
00:16Now a man's helping her off the bus with their pram.
00:22Thank you to the nice man.
00:25Jordan Bolger, Laurie Kiniston with Daniel Mays.
00:30Believe me.
00:31Now they're strolling through a sunny park as she pushes the boy in the pram.
00:36Here up or here down?
00:38Tonight I'm here.
00:40Can't decide.
00:42I can like it up, but I worry it makes me look fierce.
00:45She crouches, turning his pram so they're face to face.
00:48What do you think?
00:50Too fierce.
00:53She's tugged the hair back from her face.
00:55So this is where you were born?
00:56Nice enough, round 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, then stopping
01:09a few doors down.
01:10And this is where Daddy still lives.
01:14I can never remember what number he is.
01:1723, eh?
01:196th of May, 2003.
01:2257?
01:23Anyway, he is going to be so excited to see you.
01:27Can we just get together properly?
01:29Me and him?
01:30Hmm?
01:31Have him 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?
01:42Hmm?
01:42Are you still having to tell me what to do with my hair?
01:46So who else is going to that?
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.
02:03Probably 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, having given him a bottle of milk.
02:22There's more milk in the fridge if you need it.
02:25But that was formula.
02:27Started him on that now because I'm not producing enough anymore.
02:31She smiles at Jack.
02:33Work for down.
02:34Bit 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, I'm tired of 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.
03:16Yeah, I want a milking machine.
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.
03:26Beautiful.
03:27Okay, I'm going then.
03:29Shot time.
03:30Shot, shot, shot, shot.
03:30Okay, yeah, yeah.
03:31No, you'll be fine.
03:33Right, cheers.
03:34Thanks for coming.
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, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
03:52Let's go, kids.
03:53Now Frankie and Sarah are at the bar.
03:56Hiya, can I have one vodka and coke and...
03:59No, just coke, please.
04:00Rowan, two vodka and coke, thank you.
04:02Okay, but I'm not getting battered on my first night out.
04:03Yes, you are.
04:04Anyway, I've got some magical marching code for later to keep you awake.
04:08Come on.
04:08You said you were having fun with me tonight.
04:10It's my birthday.
04:11You're having fun with me.
04:12Absolutely fucking not.
04:13You fucking are.
04:14Anyway, right, so.
04:15Dominic.
04:16I'm making myself all vulnerable.
04:18I'm giving him everything.
04:19I'm giving, I love you.
04:21I'm giving, I want to have your babies.
04:22Yeah, I want it easy.
04:23He wants to be friends with benefits.
04:24He's an arsehole.
04:25I was devastated though.
04:27We've had one without him.
04:28I know, but he's so fit.
04:30Cheers.
04:31Happy birthday.
04:32Happy birthday.
04:33Now she's chatting to friend Finn by the dance floor.
04:36And we exchanged rings.
04:38I even took him to meet my mum and dad.
04:39What happened?
04:40I looked through his phone when he was asleep.
04:42I know.
04:43He's been cheating on me with at least five other guys.
04:46He's an arsehole.
04:47Yeah.
04:49Am I around?
04:50Frankie's missed you so much.
04:52You're there.
04:54Shit.
04:55What?
04:56You have a phone at home.
04:57In the toilets.
04:59And I'll be honest, I broke it off.
05:01He just, he got too clingy.
05:02Do you think that makes me an arsehole?
05:04No, he is.
05:06I mean, I don't know what for.
05:08I'm going to go with him being the arsehole.
05:09Thank you, honey.
05:10From a cubicle.
05:11Left a line in there.
05:12Oh, thank you.
05:14There you go.
05:15Why did you have to come to the ladies' toilets out of interest?
05:18Because your toilets are so much nicer than ours.
05:20I'll stink of piss.
05:23Right.
05:24Now, are you sure we need to?
05:25No, I already said no, thank you.
05:26Come on.
05:27Don't be a party pooper.
05:28No.
05:28Don't be a party pooper.
05:29Don't go the fuck 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.
05:36I'll be very sad.
05:37Don't ruin his birthday.
05:37You don't look very sad.
05:40Sarah reluctantly takes a dab from Frankie's paper wrap.
05:43Yay.
05:46Now, let me out, please.
05:48I've got to spend all night in a bog with you two.
05:49That's our girl.
05:50Now, hazel-eyed Sarah, in her halterneck green top, is dancing enthusiastically under disco
05:56lights with Mike, who she and Frankie had been in the loose with, Finn and Frankie.
06:00Now, she's sitting glumly in a booth, her handbag that's missing her phone on the table
06:04before her.
06:05Frankie, now minus his pink feather boa, approaches.
06:08There you are.
06:10Hi.
06:10No, I don't want another drink.
06:12I definitely don't want a more coke, and I'm all out of advice.
06:14They're all arsehole looking.
06:17I was actually just going to ask you whether you wanted me to get you a cab.
06:21Yes, she's going to get you a cab.
06:23Come on, mama.
06:24Let's go.
06:26Now, Frankie and Mike are talking to a black cab driver outside the club.
06:31Is that all right?
06:34Sarah, he's going to take you.
06:36She hugs Finn.
06:38Frankie, get home safe.
06:39Yeah, yeah, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
06:41Frankie kisses her, getting the passenger door.
06:43Thanks, mate.
06:45Love you.
06:45See you later.
06:46Chat in a bit, babe.
06:47Get home.
06:48Her friends all wave to her in the back of the black cab as it heads down the bustling London
06:53street.
06:54Now, she's dozing as the cab trundles along, city lights casting orbs of colour across the
06:59window.
07:00The driver talks to her.
07:02You're very popular.
07:04She wearily opens her eyes.
07:06Good night.
07:07It certainly looked like it.
07:09All them blokes are like bees around honeypot.
07:13It was a friend's birthday party.
07:15They were all over you.
07:17Actually, they were all gay, so 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, I think you look absolutely gorgeous tonight.
07:28I reckon you could probably have termed one on term if you wanted to.
07:32Well, I'm not sure about that.
07:34It's just nice to have a night out.
07:37Why is that then?
07:38Just got out of prison or something?
07:39Yeah, not far off.
07:41I've got a nine-month-old baby.
07:43I'm a single mum.
07:44This is the first time I've been out since he was born.
07:46Sorry, look, before we go any further, what number Walgate Road was it?
07:50Oh, just, um, just take me to number 17.
07:53They'll be fine.
07:5317?
07:55Right.
07:56She watches him appear to write that down in a notebook.
07:59And you live on your own, do you?
08:00Yeah.
08:03Right, yo.
08:04She's given him a nod, looking vaguely disinterested, then attempts to doze off again.
08:10So what's that like, then?
08:12You know, spending the night with a load of gay guys?
08:16Oh, they're lovely.
08:17But you do end up just being an agony aunt.
08:20Oh, I bet.
08:22It would have been nice if someone, at some point, asked how I was doing.
08:27Okay, well, I'll ask.
08:29The driver glances through the rear-view mirror at her.
08:32How are you doing?
08:34Oh.
08:36You know, getting on, I suppose.
08:39But it's hard being on your own.
08:41Why are you a single mum, then?
08:44It's my choice as much as his.
08:46I want us to be together because we want to be together, not because we have to be.
08:51Yeah, I'll get that.
08:53Beads of rain have formed on the windows as the wipers sweep rhythmically across the windscreen.
08:57Well, I've had a great night tonight.
09:01I had a big win at the casino earlier, would you believe?
09:04All right, good for you.
09:05Here.
09:06Who are these lot?
09:0840 grand.
09:10Can you believe it?
09:11Oh, wow.
09:11Yeah, I've been wanting to celebrate, but 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.
09:19Um, I was wondering if you'd have a drink for me.
09:23Oh, no.
09:24Would I celebrate for me, like?
09:25No, I...
09:26I've got some champagne here.
09:28No, I've already had too much of a drink tonight.
09:30Raise a glass for me.
09:31I've been stuck here behind this wheel, desperate 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 with me winnings, you know?
09:42At least let me see someone enjoy my good luck.
09:44The lights have changed from red to green as he offers her a plastic glass full of liquid.
09:52Hey.
09:53Reluctantly easing her belt, she takes it.
09:57She takes a chaste sip of the drink, frowning slightly at the contents, as 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, all right?
10:11Oh, thanks.
10:12Oh, I don't know.
10:14Take some time off.
10:15Go on an holiday.
10:16I'll 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.
10:28I spilled the drink.
10:30No, no.
10:30No problem.
10:32You can knock this one back.
10:33Here, go on.
10:35He offers another glass back through the dividing screen.
10:39Oh, come on.
10:40You'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.
10:49You got it?
10:50She drains the glass and holds it up.
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.
11:07Resting her head against her hand, she once more closes her eyes.
11:13You okay?
11:14Want anything else?
11:16Um, no, nothing, thanks.
11:19Her head gently shakes with the movement of the cab.
11:24Another drink?
11:26No, thanks.
11:28You smoke?
11:31Trying to give up.
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.
11:45It has several external air conditioning condenser units and large waste bins.
11:50Sarah rouses woozily as overhead industrial-style lights from a covered walkway blur past her window.
11:56A multi-story building looms beyond.
11:59What's going on?
12:02Thought we'd stop for a little city break.
12:08The cab now stopped, Sarah groggily leans forward.
12:13Come on.
12:15She reaches for the cigarette poking out of its packet.
12:18Take it.
12:20Thanks, sir.
12:22Where are we?
12:23Barely able to keep her eyes open,
12:26Sarah 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.
12:41I'll have one with you.
12:44He sits beside her as she struggles to sit up,
12:48then 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,
13:10his hazel eyes hooded by thick brows boring into her.
13:13Her world flickers as she sinks into sleep.
13:16End of part one.
13:23Sarah rouses on a white-sheeted bed in a hospital ward.
13:26Her brow creased.
13:28She looks pained as she takes in the sun,
13:30seeping through the blinds of a window nearby,
13:33a pink balloon hovering at the top of the frame.
13:36Briefly dashing her hand across her brow and eye,
13:39she looks round as staff busy themselves about her.
13:44As she sits 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.
14:07Her socks and boot-cut jeans brushing the dark red floor,
14:10which is illuminated by overhead lighting.
14:15Having located a toilet,
14:17she 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.
14:25Looking 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.
14:56She looks down,
14:57then her eyes slowly widen
14:59with a horrified realisation.
15:07Now she's wandering back into the ward,
15:10looking tearful and distressed.
15:12As she paces anxiously,
15:14a nurse approaches her.
15:26The nurse tends to the patient opposite,
15:29leaving Sarah looking bewildered.
15:31Now Connor meets her on a bench outside
15:33with Jack in the prowl.
15:35Hey,
15:36what's going on?
15:37Where have you been?
15:37He hugs her.
15:40Oh, don't touch him.
15:40I'm dating him.
15:41It's disgusting.
15:41Sit down, sit down.
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 in my drink.
15:57Oh, he's got my handbag.
15:58I haven't got my purse or my glasses.
16:00I raped you.
16:01Yeah, but I can't remember any of it
16:02because he must have drugged me.
16:04Now in a room inside.
16:06He said he'd won some money at a casino
16:09and he wanted to celebrate.
16:10Then he gave me this drink.
16:13He said it was champagne,
16:14but I remember it tasted funny.
16:17I smoked the one glass
16:20and then he gave me another
16:21and in the end I just drank it to shut him up.
16:26Toxicology tests will establish
16:27if there was anything in the drink.
16:29Can you describe him, please?
16:33She recalls a blurry image
16:35of the driver smoking.
16:37He was 40 to 50 years old.
16:41A 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 he drugged me
17:00and this morning
17:06my vagina felt sore
17:09and there was what felt like
17:10lubricant around it
17:13and my tights were all torn
17:15around my crotch area.
17:17Is there a chance you might have had sex
17:19with someone earlier in the night
17:20and maybe forgotten about it?
17:21No, definitely not.
17:24A suited man.
17:26No, I can tell you, Sarah,
17:27you were brought to a police station
17:28last night by a young man
17:30who lives at 17 Wallgate Road.
17:33The driver and a young man.
17:34He said number seven ring.
17:38That's where I used to live.
17:39Yeah, but why did you go to 17, though?
17:41Because I can never remember
17:43what number you were
17:44so I must have said 17
17:45and then I knew you were
17:46a couple of doors down.
17:47So before I was brought to the hospital,
17:49he took me to the police station.
17:51Him and the taxi driver.
17:52The taxi driver?
17:54That's the guy that raped her.
17:55Does he have his name?
17:56We should do, yeah?
17:59We're going to need
18:00a urine sample and a mouth swab.
18:01Okay.
18:03Did you bring her a change of clothes?
18:05Yeah.
18:06PC Belitha will 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 the man and woman
18:16interviewing her,
18:17who are both white and brown-haired,
18:19Sarah shakes her head.
18:24Now she's gripping the side
18:26of an examination bed
18:27that she's lying on.
18:28She's in a hospital gown
18:30with 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.
18:45As 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 excel you
18:53about 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 in her eyes,
19:07Sarah forlornly obeys,
19:09slowly turning on her side
19:10so she's facing away
19:11from the doctor.
19:14She tenses her lips
19:16and squeezes her eyes shut,
19:17her face contorting
19:19with quiet agony.
19:20Now with the suited woman,
19:22Belitho,
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
19:37for you at the
19:37Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinic.
19:41Yeah, I do wish.
19:42Okay.
19:43There are also
19:43victim support services
19:45that we can connect you with.
19:48Now, your bag,
19:48glasses and purse
19:49are not missing.
19:50I've been told
19:51they 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
19:59about now,
19:59Sarah,
19:59that might be relevant?
20:01If you mean
20:02did I have sex
20:02with anyone else
20:03last night,
20:03I've already told you
20:04no, I didn't.
20:05But I,
20:07I do want to tell you
20:08one thing.
20:09I really regret it,
20:10but I did have
20:11a little bit of cocaine
20:12last night.
20:12Okay.
20:13My friends just kept
20:14on at me and
20:15I gave in
20:16and just had a little
20:17dap just to shut them up,
20:18but it was
20:18only a tiny amount.
20:19You're better off
20:20telling us now
20:20rather than us not knowing
20:21and finding it
20:22in your samples.
20:24So embarrassed.
20:25Now,
20:26Belitho and Sarah
20:27arrive back at the flat.
20:31Can I search her?
20:32Yeah,
20:32no,
20:33I still haven't had a shower.
20:34Mr O'Carroll,
20:35would you be able
20:36to come back to the station
20:36with me now
20:37to make a statement?
20:38Why?
20:39We just want to be
20:39as thorough as possible.
20:40He can confirm
20:41certain timings
20:42and details and so on.
20:44Okay,
20:44yeah,
20:45that makes sense.
20:46All right,
20:47I won't be long.
20:49Her eye makeup smudged,
20:51Sarah offers
20:52brown-eyed Connor
20:52a weak smile
20:53as he follows
20:54Belitho out.
20:55Now at the station.
20:57She,
20:58she came to London
20:59for college,
20:59was in digs
21:00in the area
21:01and initially
21:02we were just neighbours.
21:03And what about family?
21:05Does she have family
21:05down here with her?
21:06They're all still
21:08living in Newport
21:09so she hardly ever sees me.
21:11How would you describe
21:12Sarah's alcohol intake?
21:14I mean,
21:14she likes to drink
21:15but in a fun way
21:16I'd say it's normal.
21:18Does she binge drink?
21:20Nah,
21:21I mean,
21:21like I said,
21:21she likes to have a laugh
21:22on a night out
21:23and she actually
21:24hadn't been
21:25on a night out
21:26quite a while
21:26before 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?
21:36Marijuana,
21:37cocaine.
21:37No,
21:38no,
21:38I've never,
21:39never seen her
21:39take any
21:40kind of drug.
21:41Not cocaine?
21:44No,
21:45not,
21:45not that I know of.
21:47Meanwhile,
21:48back at the flat,
21:49Sarah's emerged
21:50from the bathroom
21:50in a towel
21:51and checks herself
21:52in the mirror.
21:53We have to ask this,
21:54Connor.
21:55Would you say that
21:56Sarah's a sexually
21:57promiscuous person?
22:00No,
22:00I wouldn't say
22:02promiscuous.
22:03What do you mean?
22:05Again,
22:05we have to ask,
22:06is she the type of person
22:06who,
22:08for example,
22:09might meet up
22:10with someone
22:10on a night out
22:10and have sex with them?
22:12Sarah's looking
22:13at her bruises.
22:15I don't know.
22:17I made me feel bad
22:18about that afterwards.
22:19I don't know.
22:20No.
22:21No,
22:22no,
22:22no,
22:22no.
22:24Not if she's
22:24in a relationship.
22:26Now,
22:27he arrives back
22:27to his living room
22:28where Sarah's
22:29sitting in a dressing gown.
22:31How are you feeling?
22:32If he drove me
22:33to the station
22:34in a taxi,
22:35then they must have
22:35his name.
22:36Or his badge number,
22:37or his license number.
22:39I mean,
22:40yeah,
22:41I suppose so.
22:41Yeah,
22:41they must do.
22:43He should be going
22:44around his house now
22:45and arresting him.
22:46He gives her
22:47an uncertain smile.
22:49I'm going to get a beer.
22:50Do you want something?
22:53Glass of wine.
22:55Connor,
22:55who has a toned physique,
22:57no 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?
23:08You know,
23:09if he raped you,
23:10they'd then
23:11take you to a police station.
23:15What do you mean if?
23:17No,
23:18I don't mean it like that.
23:19It's just a
23:20figure of speech.
23:22He hands her
23:23a red wine
23:24as she stares up
23:25at him.
23:26What did the police
23:27ask you?
23:28Just general stuff,
23:30really,
23:30about last night.
23:32Times and stuff.
23:33He watches her
23:35as she knocks
23:35back her wine.
23:40You see,
23:40when you're feeding Jack,
23:42does it matter
23:43if you've
23:43been drinking alcohol?
23:46A little bit
23:47doesn't matter.
23:49Connor nods,
23:50taking a swig
23:51of his beer.
23:52Anyway,
23:53I pretty much
23:53stopped feeding him now.
23:55Yeah.
23:58Why'd you just
23:59ask me that?
24:00I'm just wondering.
24:01Just rape,
24:02for fuck's sake!
24:03I'm all over
24:04the fucking place!
24:06He's followed her
24:07into the kitchen.
24:08I'm sorry.
24:09I'm sorry.
24:09Come on.
24:10He hugs her.
24:12The taxi driver
24:13drove to the station.
24:15They must be able
24:16to find out
24:16who he is.
24:17I'll get out.
24:26The urine sample,
24:27we test for chlamydia
24:29and gonorrhea.
24:30And with the blood sample,
24:32we can check for syphilis.
24:33Hepatitis B or C
24:34and HIV.
24:36HIV?
24:37HIV?
24:38You fucking
24:39died from that.
24:40If necessary,
24:41we can provide you
24:43with PEP,
24:43which is a medication
24:45that can help
24:46prevent HIV infection
24:47if commenced
24:48soon after exposure.
24:51The nurse
24:51will also be
24:52providing you
24:53with emergency
24:54contraception
24:55and morning after pill.
24:58Sarah is sitting
24:59opposite the doctor
25:00who's talking to her
25:01in a consultation room
25:02at the hospital.
25:03Now at the flat,
25:04she's on the phone.
25:06Hello?
25:07Oh, hello.
25:07Is this PC Belitho?
25:10Yes, that's me.
25:11Hi, yeah.
25:12This is Sarah Adams.
25:13Hello, Sarah.
25:14How are you feeling this morning?
25:15Yeah, I 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,
25:23I'm actually not handling
25:23this investigation.
25:25It's been passed on
25:26to my colleague,
25:27DC Stevens,
25:28and he'll be in touch
25:28with you in due course.
25:31Right, but this man's
25:32still 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
25:45to emerges.
25:47Hello.
25:47Hi.
25:48I was looking for a guy
25:49who helped me
25:49the other night.
25:50I was in a bit of a state.
25:52Hope, do you mind me
25:52knocking on your door
25:53like this?
25:53No, no, it's fine.
25:54Yeah, that was me.
25:56You look a bit different
25:57as what you did there.
25:58Oh, God, I can only imagine.
26:00Have you got a couple
26:00of minutes to talk about it?
26:03Now inside,
26:03they're provided hot drinks
26:05by a young woman.
26:06There you go.
26:06Thanks, Pete.
26:08Okay.
26:09She leaves them to it.
26:11It's so funny.
26:12I used to live here.
26:13Really?
26:14So you're all students, Sharon?
26:16Yeah.
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,
26:24the young man, Billy,
26:25is heading downstairs
26:26where the driver's at the door.
26:28What are you doing, man?
26:29There's a girl
26:30in my taxi who lives here.
26:32She says this is
26:33her front door, Kay.
26:34No, no, but she said
26:36number 17.
26:38No, she don't live here.
26:39Billy sees Sarah
26:41on the floor of the back
26:42of the cab
26:42by what looks like
26:43a puddle of vomit.
26:45She was like that
26:46when I picked her up.
26:47A roaring drug.
26:49You need to go
26:50to the police station now.
26:54I could see it was
26:55more than just drink.
26:56So I immediately wondered
26:57if you were drugged.
26:58I was.
27:00By him,
27:01I'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,
27:15she's basically unconscious.
27:16Let's have it right,
27:16she's thrown up
27:17all over the back of my cab.
27:19I 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
27:26as Billy watches
27:27then turns seeing
27:28the driver
27:29head off in his cab.
27:31I didn't see them
27:32take his name,
27:34they didn't even get my name.
27:35What?
27:36When they got you inside,
27:38hung around for a bit.
27:39She's not drunk, okay?
27:40You can tell by looking at
27:41she's been drugged.
27:43So why aren't you
27:43checking out the cab driver?
27:45There's no way
27:45a cab would pick someone
27:46up in 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,
27:53the ambulance turns up
27:55and he asks me to go home.
27:57I think they thought
27:58that you were off your head
27:58on drink
27:59or you were a junkie.
28:01I've 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.
28:13Anything I can do to help.
28:14Okay.
28:16Now on the phone
28:17as she's crouched
28:18by Jack in a park,
28:20Hello, can I help?
28:21Yeah, DC Paul Stevens, please.
28:24This is Sarah Adams.
28:25He's investigating my case.
28:26He's not available right now.
28:27Okay, well,
28:28I 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.
28:37They won't.
28:39I know they won't.
29:08She's hung up
29:10There's this guy
29:10at number 17,
29:11Billy,
29:12who helped me
29:12on the night it happened.
29:14Billy says that he thinks
29:15that you didn't,
29:16but I'm hoping that you did
29:17or you have something
29:18on CCTV.
29:19I don't know,
29:20I'm afraid,
29:20but we can certainly
29:21look into that.
29:22Well, there must be something.
29:23All right,
29:24well, you leave that with us.
29:26If you take a left
29:27up at the lights,
29:28we can avoid the road.
29:29Sarah spots
29:30the multi-story building.
29:32Oh my God.
29:33That's it.
29:34It was around the back
29:34of those flats
29:35the road he took me down.
29:36Where should I go down there?
29:38All right.
29:39We'll make a note
29:39and we'll send someone down.
29:42Yeah,
29:42there might be DNA there
29:43or something.
29:44I can tell you
29:45exactly where he parked.
29:46Okay, okay.
29:46We'll look into it.
29:48Sitting in the back
29:49of the car
29:49as DC King drives,
29:51Sarah shifts restlessly.
29:53Oh, I went to a GP
29:55and he made a note
29:56of all the bruises
29:56I've got all over my body.
29:57Though you might want
29:58to take some photos of them.
30:00Well,
30:01they could have been caused
30:02at the hospital, of course,
30:03as 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.
30:09Right.
30:09Well, there'll be other officers
30:10doing the interview,
30:11but 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,
30:19Had you already had a lot
30:20to drink that night?
30:22I had a few drinks, yes,
30:23but I wouldn't say
30:24that I was drunk
30:25when I got in the cab.
30:28You had some cocaine too?
30:33Yes, like I say,
30:36I was pressured into it
30:38by my friends
30:38and I regret it.
30:39She's in a room
30:40with Stevens
30:41and another man,
30:42PC Wright,
30:42who's asking the questions.
31:12You drank the champagne
31:14and I felt sore.
31:16Why do you think
31:17you were raped?
31:20Because of how
31:20my vagina felt.
31:22Now consulting
31:23with King and Stevens
31:24in another interview room.
31:26I'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?
31:31Then back to Sarah.
31:34Okay.
31:35They'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,
31:48they get upset.
31:50I was told
31:51not to show any emotion.
31:52There's no right or wrong.
31:53It's just what it is.
31:54That's how you reacted.
31:57He said you wanted
31:58facts, not tears.
32:00That's what he said to me,
32:01his exact words.
32:02I wouldn't worry about it.
32:03It's done now.
32:04I'll organise a lift for you.
32:07No, thank you.
32:08I'll find my own way home.
32:11Now, over dinner at the flat,
32:13Connor watches Sarah
32:14take a swig of her red wine.
32:16Then she briefly
32:17leaves the table
32:18to grab her handbag.
32:19How are you feeling now?
32:22Shit.
32:24Presenting a packet of cigarettes,
32:26she removes one,
32:27readying a lighter.
32:31Probably shouldn't be smoking.
32:33Fuck off!
32:34Sarah's,
32:35calm down.
32:36She runs her hand
32:38over her face,
32:39looking flustered.
32:42Lord,
32:44I do want to ask you something.
32:46Tensing her lips,
32:48she turns to him.
32:52How come you stayed out
32:53so late that night?
32:56I don't know.
32:58It's just how the night went.
33:00You could have texted me.
33:01I was worried about it.
33:01Because I left my phone at home.
33:03What is this, Connor?
33:04I'm just,
33:04I'm trying to understand
33:05what happened.
33:08She stares at him,
33:09open-mouthed,
33:10her eyes portraying
33:11a look of hurt and disbelief.
33:13Their meal turned sour.
33:14They sit awkwardly
33:15at the dinner table.
33:17End of part three.
33:23Sarah's trudging down a street
33:24lined with boarded up
33:25or graffitied buildings.
33:27Passive!
33:29Looking slightly shaken
33:30by a young woman
33:31hailing a black cab nearby,
33:33she quickens her pace
33:34as she walks past it,
33:36pulling up.
33:36She remembers the hazy image
33:39of the driver
33:39peering through her passenger window.
33:42Then she spots something,
33:43staring up at it.
33:48She's in the rear service area
33:50where the driver had taken them,
33:52now under a blue sky.
33:54She surveys her surroundings
33:55with a frown,
33:56taking in the bins,
33:57the air conditioning units
33:59and 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 of the driver
34:12lighting her cigarette in the cab.
34:19Lovely man.
34:22She removes the unlit cigarette
34:23from her mouth,
34:24looking troubled.
34:26Now with Connor at the flat.
34:29Maybe they can show me pictures
34:30of all the black cab drivers in London.
34:32Babe, there's thousands of them.
34:33I don't care,
34:34I'm sure I'd recognise him.
34:36On my jeans,
34:37when I dropped the drink
34:38that he gave me,
34:39there'll be some of that on them.
34:40On my top,
34:41they were sick on it,
34:41so if they test that,
34:42they can find out
34:43what he drug me with.
34:43I think we just need
34:44to leave it to the police now.
34:45They're going to know
34:46the best way to go about things.
34:47Yeah, they don't seem
34:47to have much urgency about them.
34:49Well, I mean,
34:50is 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 I took coke?
35:03I just put two and two together.
35:06I mean,
35:06the police didn't say it
35:07in that many words,
35:08but I just assumed
35:09from how they spoke.
35:10Fucking bastard!
35:11I can't believe
35:11they talked to you about that!
35:12It was just a little bit
35:13because Frankie
35:14kept fucking on and on at me!
35:15Look,
35:15I told them
35:16I've never seen you do coke.
35:17That was private information!
35:18Well, hang on.
35:19Jack's my son too.
35:21Meaning what?
35:22You're breastfeeding,
35:23so what...
35:24Why would you do coke?
35:25Because I'm a shit merm,
35:26obviously.
35:27I'm not saying that.
35:27I told you,
35:28I pretty much
35:29stopped 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 merm.
35:34No,
35:34that's not what I'm saying.
35:35I'm just saying,
35:37maybe that made you
35:38go a little bit weird.
35:41Do you know what
35:42made me go weird?
35:44Test and see
35:45if I had HIV
35:46or fucking syphilis
35:48or worrying
35:49if I'm fucking pregnant.
35:51Wait,
35:51am I...
35:52What are you?
35:54I mean,
35:54they gave me something.
35:56She looks at him miserably.
35:59All the tests were negative.
36:02That's good.
36:03Yeah,
36:03I could see that.
36:04No,
36:05I mean,
36:05I mean,
36:05like,
36:06because there may be,
36:07and I'm only saying maybe,
36:09but maybe that means
36:10that you weren't
36:10assaulted by him.
36:12But I was.
36:13Yeah,
36:14but I just keep thinking,
36:15if he did do something,
36:16why would he drive you
36:16to a police station?
36:17Stop fucking saying if!
36:19Now,
36:20she's standing outside
36:20the flat
36:21with Jack and Connor.
36:22Please,
36:23Sarah,
36:23look,
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,
36:31and she storms off
36:32down the street,
36:33pushing Jack in his pram
36:34as Connor watches helplessly.
36:37Sarah.
36:39Now,
36:40she's hanging washing up
36:41on a line
36:41in a garden
36:42bathed in sunshine.
36:43She looks utterly deflated
36:45and tearful.
36:47Jack's in his pram nearby.
36:53Sorry,
36:54love.
36:56Got to be quiet,
36:57haven't I?
36:58She goes over to him.
37:00She'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?
37:12Ready?
37:12She does a forward roll
37:14over a blanket on the grass.
37:15How's that?
37:18Okay,
37:19what about this?
37:21Then,
37:21she does a cartwheel.
37:23Sarah.
37:24Is that better?
37:25Yes.
37:27More?
37:28Okay.
37:29She's about to launch
37:31into another cartwheel.
37:34Who's that?
37:36That doesn't count,
37:37by the way.
37:39Leaving brown-eyed Jack
37:41in his pram outside,
37:42Sarah heads to the door.
37:44She opens it,
37:45spying an awkward-looking
37:46Frankie waiting there.
37:48He smiles sympathetically,
37:50then pulls her in
37:51for a hug.
37:53She closes her eyes,
37:55looking emotional
37:56as he holds her.
37:57Now,
37:58in the garden with Jack,
37:59you know,
38:00they told me they did have
38:01the taxi driver's name.
38:02And then they said
38:03he gave them
38:04a false name and address
38:05and they finally told me
38:06last week
38:07that nobody took
38:08his details
38:08at the station that night.
38:11I can't believe
38:12how crap they are.
38:14Well,
38:14I'd recognise him
38:14and Mike would.
38:16We had a big chat
38:17with him before you got in
38:18when we were paying him.
38:19Paying him?
38:20Yeah,
38:21I gave him 20 quid.
38:23What?
38:25He told me
38:25he was taking me home
38:26for free
38:26because he'd won
38:27some 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
38:37seem interested.
38:38Whereas they've mentioned
38:39about 50 times
38:40what they've been called
38:41keen in my system.
38:43I'm so sorry about 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?
38:50Um, yeah,
38:50DC Stevens.
38:51It's Sarah Adams.
38:52Hi.
38:53Yeah,
38:53I do need to talk to you quickly.
38:54I was my friend
38:55Francis Peacock
38:56who 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
39:01says that
39:02they would both
39:02be able to identify him.
39:03Look,
39:04Sarah,
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.
39:09Did you talk to
39:10Billy Houghton,
39:10the young guy that lives
39:11at 17 Wargate Road
39:11who also got a good look at him?
39:13I'm sure we will get
39:13to all of them in due course,
39:15but for the time being...
39:15Will you?
39:16Because it just feels
39:18like you've lost interest
39:18in everything.
39:19I can assure you
39:20that's not the case.
39:21It just,
39:22it feels like
39:22you don't believe me.
39:24I'm really sorry
39:25that it feels like that.
39:27Hi, yeah,
39:28it's, uh,
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
39:33about the conversation
39:33I had with the taxi driver.
39:34What's the fucking point?
39:36Right, um,
39:37yeah,
39:37I'm going to have to go
39:38because she's really upset.
39:40So...
39:42What's the point?
39:44Sitting with Frankie
39:45on a riverbank
39:46scattered with autumnal leaves,
39:48she rests her head
39:48on his shoulder
39:49as he comforts her.
39:513rd of June, 2003,
39:53at the station.
39:54Right, Spencer,
39:55what have we got?
39:56No 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?
40:02Trace cocaine,
40:03blood alcohol,
40:04260 over 100,
40:05which is pretty high.
40:07Any other drugs,
40:08sedatives,
40:09anything we've seen before
40:09in cases of date, right?
40:10That all came back negative.
40:12I mean,
40:12we did find
40:12encitalopram,
40:13which is actually
40:14an antidepressant,
40:15and a little bit
40:15of codeine and morphine,
40:17but 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,
40:30looking thoughtful.
40:31She hears her phone buzzing.
40:36Hello?
40:36Hello, it's DC Paul Stevens.
40:38Yeah, hello.
40:39Sorry for the delay
40:40in calling you,
40:40it's been very busy.
40:41Right, so,
40:42first thing to say
40:43is that all avenues
40:44were explored.
40:47Did you speak
40:48to Billy Houghton
40:49and Frankie Peacock
40:51and Mike Rafter?
40:52I did visit
40:52the nightclub you attended
40:53and I established
40:54that the area outside
40:55is covered by CCTV,
40:57but 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
41:03when he dropped me
41:04off 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
41:14found no evidence
41:16to corroborate your research
41:17and that you were
41:17sexually assaulted
41:18or raped.
41:19Therefore,
41:19in light of all of this,
41:21I do have to tell you
41:21that our investigation
41:22is being closed down.
41:26You know,
41:26it feels like
41:26you're calling me a liar.
41:28Like,
41:28what about the bruises on me?
41:29I asked to come in
41:30so you could take
41:30proper pictures of them.
41:32I believe something
41:32may have happened to you
41:33that night,
41:34but I do not believe
41:35that you were raped.
41:36Is it possible
41:37you had sex
41:37with one 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 positions,
41:56I can arrange for somebody
41:57to hand them over to you.
41:58No.
41:59No?
41:59No.
42:01You're going to need
42:02to hang on to them
42:02because one day
42:03you're going to need them
42:03as evidence
42:04when you realise
42:04you were wrong about me.
42:07She slams her flip phone shut
42:09and rests her chin
42:10defeatedly on her hand
42:11before shaking her head
42:13incredulously.
42:16Still perched on the bench
42:17in the leafy park
42:18where she's been with Jack,
42:20she 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 nearby.
42:35Packets of various
42:36pharmaceutical drugs
42:37are by a blue plastic bag
42:39full of bottles
42:40and he's crushing up pills
42:41in an ashtray
42:42using a metal spoon.
42:47having mixed them together
42:49he scoops out the powder
42:51onto the worktop.
42:53Now it's night time
42:54and scenes of revellers
42:55some a little worse for wear
42:57drift past a blurry car window.
43:00Colourful neon lights
43:01illuminate the street.
43:02The drivers in his black cab.
43:05DC Stevens' voice echoes.
43:08If a licensed black cab driver
43:10is involved in sexual attacks
43:11on women
43:12then this represents
43:13a real risk to the community.
43:15However,
43:16the 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
43:22of a responsible
43:23law-abiding individual.
43:25In addition,
43:27the woman's loss of consciousness
43:28is consistent
43:29with the alcohol
43:30and cocaine
43:31she consumed
43:31given her recent absence.
43:33The risk
43:34is therefore low.
43:36Now a young white woman
43:38with long curly copper hair
43:39is in the driver's cab.
43:41Good night.
43:43She looks up from her phone.
43:45You look like
43:46you've enjoyed yourself.
43:47Oh yeah.
43:48It was just to catch up
43:49with friends.
43:51Male or female?
43:52Female.
43:53I was going to say
43:53if it was a fella.
43:54What a lucky guy he is.
43:56The blue bag
43:57full of bottles
43:58is by his feet.
44:00I've had a great night
44:01tonight myself.
44:06I'm a bad writer.
