Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,639 --> 00:00:02,279
'In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,639
the people are represented
3
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:06,239
by two separate yet equally
important groups -
4
00:00:06,239 --> 00:00:08,199
the police, who investigate crime,
5
00:00:08,199 --> 00:00:11,399
and the Crown Prosecutors
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:11,399 --> 00:00:13,359
These are their stories.'
7
00:00:16,479 --> 00:00:19,319
There is a belief that HRT helps
prevent Alzheimer's as well.
8
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:22,359
But I want to forget that I'm old
and menopausal.
9
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:23,879
Your 4:30 is waiting.
10
00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:27,679
Could you schedule an ultrasound
for uterine anomalies
11
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:29,079
for Miss Browning, please?
12
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:30,279
Sure. When are you free?
13
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:32,679
All the time, dear. But this one
never takes the hint (!)
14
00:00:33,919 --> 00:00:34,999
Bye, Sandy.
15
00:00:34,999 --> 00:00:37,039
Bye.
16
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:38,199
Next week?
17
00:00:38,199 --> 00:00:40,399
Yes. Er, Tuesday?
18
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:44,959
Sorry about that. Some patients
won't stop talking. How are you?
19
00:00:44,959 --> 00:00:48,159
OK. I've brought the chart that you
gave me.
20
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,119
Thanks.
21
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,359
Last period ended Saturday?
22
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:55,399
Pretty sporadic.
23
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:57,759
Cramps still abnormal?
24
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,759
Yeah. It never used to be like this.
25
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:03,559
All right. Well, lie down. I'll have
a look.
26
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,074
Subtitles downloaded from www.OpenSubtitles.org
27
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:27,799
If you could just move a little
closer.
28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,279
Nice perfume.
29
00:01:36,759 --> 00:01:38,439
Thanks.
30
00:01:39,839 --> 00:01:41,799
You're tensing. Try and relax.
31
00:01:46,119 --> 00:01:47,359
How does that feel?
32
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:50,359
It's fine.
33
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:56,359
It should feel good.
34
00:01:59,839 --> 00:02:00,879
Oh yes.
35
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,199
What are you doing?
36
00:02:03,199 --> 00:02:05,159
Right there.
37
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,519
What the hell? You were touching me
up.
38
00:02:08,559 --> 00:02:10,119
I don't wish to alarm you, Alesha.
39
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:11,479
But I'd like to bring you back
40
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:14,519
for a CT scan, and a possible needle
biopsy.
41
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:16,559
To rule out metastases.
42
00:02:16,559 --> 00:02:17,639
Cancer?
43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,639
It's just a precaution. That's all.
Don't worry.
44
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,799
Worst case scenario,
45
00:02:22,799 --> 00:02:25,719
women under 30 have a far better
chance of recovery.
46
00:02:26,799 --> 00:02:27,839
Right.
47
00:02:27,839 --> 00:02:29,799
Well, I'll let you get dressed.
48
00:03:23,679 --> 00:03:25,559
He just fronted it out.
49
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:29,639
Then he brought up cancer.
50
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:32,799
What?
To intimidate me.
51
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:35,039
Don't go planning my funeral just
yet.
52
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:36,559
So his line will be,
53
00:03:36,559 --> 00:03:38,999
he was just doing his job?
54
00:03:38,999 --> 00:03:43,799
I know the difference between being
examined and being assaulted.
55
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,199
Unless you don't believe me.
56
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,599
Don't be daft.
Course we believe you.
57
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,439
We're on your side, OK?
58
00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:58,599
It will be hard to prove.
59
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:02,199
Hey. Never stopped us before.
60
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:04,799
I ain't having some ponced up Harley
Street doctor
61
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,559
thinking he can get away with this.
62
00:04:06,559 --> 00:04:09,479
He assaulted Alesha, he threatened
her, abused his position.
63
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,079
There is no such thing as a one-time
sex-offender.
64
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:14,119
He's got to have done it to other
women.
65
00:04:14,679 --> 00:04:16,439
Why don't you get down to the GMC,
66
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:18,879
see if anyone else has complained,
and track them down?
67
00:04:21,999 --> 00:04:24,559
We're looking for complaints against
a Dr Alec Merrick.
68
00:04:24,559 --> 00:04:27,679
They're kept confidential unless
disciplinary action was taken.
69
00:04:27,679 --> 00:04:32,239
Of all the days not to mess us
around, sir, this is the one.
70
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:43,119
The only patients complaining here
71
00:04:43,119 --> 00:04:45,759
are the ones that are still on his
waiting list.
72
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:49,079
Consultant position at only the best
hospitals in the city.
73
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:51,279
Hospitals? How many exactly?
74
00:04:53,239 --> 00:04:54,879
2007 to present. Millbank.
75
00:04:56,159 --> 00:04:58,399
2006-2007, Royal Ludgate.
76
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:02,439
2004-2006, Waterloo City.
77
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:03,759
Itchy feet.
78
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,599
You're telling me.
Position is usually permanent.
79
00:05:06,599 --> 00:05:10,639
Talk about being head-hunted.
80
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,719
Head-hunted my arse.
81
00:05:12,719 --> 00:05:15,799
Well, look at his credentials.
He's obviously highly thought-of.
82
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,239
If he was that highly thought-of,
83
00:05:19,239 --> 00:05:21,519
why would the hospital let him go
without a fight?
84
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:24,079
Unless of course he'd screwed up in
some way.
85
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:26,119
It was an administrative decision.
86
00:05:26,119 --> 00:05:28,079
His or yours?
87
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,159
Dr Merrick lives in Hampstead.
88
00:05:30,159 --> 00:05:33,479
We're in Tooting. Maybe he wasn't
happy about the commute.
89
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:38,479
Dr Dyer. You were his head of
department. Surely you would know?
90
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:41,679
If one of my top men had quit,
I'd need to know exactly why.
91
00:05:41,679 --> 00:05:44,359
Dr Merrick runs a fine practice.
92
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:48,919
Whatever you're thinking,
I assure you, you're wrong.
93
00:05:57,359 --> 00:05:58,679
Hang on. What have we got?
94
00:05:58,679 --> 00:06:00,519
There's no point in talking to
doctors,
95
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:02,279
because they won't tell us anything.
96
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,399
I know. But we can't give up.
This is Alesha.
97
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:06,839
I know it's Alesha.
98
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,399
Why don't we get the financial
investigations unit
99
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:11,599
to have a shufty at Merrick's bank
statements,
100
00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:14,439
have a look at them, and see who
stopped paying during that time?
101
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:15,999
Genius.
102
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:21,239
I don't see us getting anywhere with
this,
103
00:06:21,239 --> 00:06:23,919
even if we do find a way to prove
it.
104
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:25,999
What happened was so subtle,
105
00:06:25,999 --> 00:06:28,479
people would wonder if it was that
big a deal.
106
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:30,559
I don't believe I'm hearing this.
107
00:06:30,559 --> 00:06:33,879
Matt. If it was any other woman,
you would say the same.
108
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:35,719
It's not any other woman.
It's Alesha.
109
00:06:35,719 --> 00:06:39,399
OK. There's no need to have a go at
me, is there? All right?
110
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,359
Have you spoken to her about it yet?
111
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:44,959
No. I'm waiting to give her some
good news.
112
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:46,799
Right.
113
00:06:46,799 --> 00:06:48,759
Here you are, though.
114
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:50,879
Laura Todd.
115
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:52,639
Three times a year
for three years.
116
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:55,159
I can't find anything after July.
117
00:06:57,159 --> 00:06:59,239
And I have Diane Perkins.
118
00:06:59,239 --> 00:07:03,639
Three payments in September,
then they stop.
119
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:06,599
Donna Miller too.
She's all over these statements.
120
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:10,519
I can't find anything after...
April.
121
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:19,599
We know you stopped seeing Dr
Merrick in April.
122
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:20,719
I didn't, actually.
123
00:07:22,559 --> 00:07:24,959
But you stopped paying him in April.
124
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,119
Oh, you mean as a patient.
Yes.
125
00:07:28,119 --> 00:07:30,079
I'm a bit confused.
126
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:31,159
We had a thing.
127
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:34,319
He kept his hand in, so to speak.
128
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:35,799
It ended a few months back now.
129
00:07:35,799 --> 00:07:37,559
It started while you were his
patient?
130
00:07:37,559 --> 00:07:39,479
Love in the stirrups.
131
00:07:41,159 --> 00:07:44,799
And did he take advantage of you at
all?
132
00:07:44,799 --> 00:07:46,279
Thank God.
133
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,319
That man is hot.
134
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:52,319
We played Doctors and Nurses for a
while. What's the problem?
135
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,319
It was fun until... well, you know.
136
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:55,839
We don't, actually.
137
00:07:57,479 --> 00:07:59,959
I got tired of his routine.
138
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:04,679
Where do you keep your cuffs?
139
00:08:06,559 --> 00:08:08,199
Excuse me.
140
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,159
Donna Miller.
141
00:08:14,719 --> 00:08:17,119
Hitting on his patients
while they are vulnerable.
142
00:08:17,119 --> 00:08:19,319
Vulnerable? Her? Do me a favour.
143
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,319
She'd cut your knackers off, spray
'em gold
144
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:23,279
and flog 'em as baubles
for £90 a pop.
145
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:24,919
Right, so who's next on the list,
then?
146
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:28,519
Diane Perkins.
147
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:32,159
Diane, our records show us
148
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:35,159
that you saw Alec Merrick -
149
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,159
he's a gynaecologist in Harley
Street -
150
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,039
three times in September.
151
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,479
Four actually.
152
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:42,679
Someone lent me the money.
153
00:08:45,119 --> 00:08:47,159
Why did you stop going?
154
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:48,639
Dr Merrick couldn't help me.
155
00:08:49,479 --> 00:08:51,959
I don't really want to say what the
matter was.
156
00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:53,559
No, of course not.
157
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,239
How was he towards you, then?
158
00:08:56,239 --> 00:08:58,359
Great. He was really kind.
159
00:08:58,359 --> 00:09:02,159
Didn't even charge me for my full
session because he couldn't help me.
160
00:09:06,319 --> 00:09:08,279
Let's turn this off.
161
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:15,719
Diane, what are those marks
on your arm?
162
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,559
I suffer from depression.
163
00:09:21,199 --> 00:09:22,239
I have done since uni.
164
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,399
I had a bad day again a few months
back.
165
00:09:26,359 --> 00:09:27,959
Life got a bit much.
166
00:09:31,079 --> 00:09:32,799
It's my head that's messed up, you
see.
167
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:36,359
Not my body.
168
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:39,319
Mate, we can't ignore the fact that
she slit her wrists
169
00:09:39,319 --> 00:09:40,639
after seeing Merrick.
170
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:42,239
Yeah, but it means nothing, Matt,
171
00:09:42,239 --> 00:09:45,199
because like she said, she's been
doing that since she was at uni.
172
00:09:45,199 --> 00:09:47,519
I mean, the poor girl is sick.
She's ill.
173
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,839
Anyway, if Alesha is anything to go
by,
174
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:52,839
Alec Merrick likes them strong. He
likes a challenge.
175
00:09:52,839 --> 00:09:54,719
Third time lucky. Laura Todd.
176
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,599
But you were pregnant at the time,
177
00:10:01,599 --> 00:10:03,239
so why change your doctor?
178
00:10:03,239 --> 00:10:05,559
There was no way Dr Merrick was
getting at me again.
179
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,279
And why is that?
180
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,919
He performed laser surgery on me
without anaesthesia.
181
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:12,239
Ouch.
That's the polite version.
182
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,279
Did he explain the procedures to you
beforehand?
183
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:18,159
Yes.
184
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:21,399
He was going to use the laser
treatment to burn off some cysts.
185
00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:24,959
He didn't say he was going to do it
without putting me under.
186
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:27,279
Did you report this to anyone at the
time?
187
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,679
I had the GMC complaints department
on speed dial.
188
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,919
They told me everything was by the
book.
189
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:34,879
Simply the doctor's choice.
190
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,359
I was in so much pain.
191
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:43,279
I kept screaming.
192
00:10:44,719 --> 00:10:45,759
Begging him to stop.
193
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:48,399
He didn't bat an eyelid.
194
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:50,439
Just kept watching me, the whole
time.
195
00:10:51,999 --> 00:10:54,439
Every now and then, he'd say,
"Good girl."
196
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:00,719
That man is a sadist.
197
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,719
He needs to be locked up.
198
00:11:04,719 --> 00:11:06,079
No woman is safe in his care.
199
00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:18,620
We spoke to the investigation
officer at the GMC.
200
00:11:18,620 --> 00:11:21,420
He reckons they took Laura Todd's
complaint very seriously,
201
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:23,940
and concluded that Dr Merrick
had done nothing wrong.
202
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:25,020
He said, er...
203
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:27,540
"Laura Todd had suffered prolonged
numbness
204
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:30,180
as a result of anaesthesia
once before.
205
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:32,900
Dr Merrick had mother and baby's
best interests at heart."
206
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,060
But Laura Todd did say
207
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:36,580
that Merrick had not told her,
prior to the operation,
208
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:38,380
that she wouldn't be anaesthetised.
209
00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:40,380
Except that Dr Merrick says
he did.
210
00:11:40,380 --> 00:11:43,380
Two people in the room, one an
eminent doctor,
211
00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:45,580
the other a hysterical pregnant
woman.
212
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:47,660
Who are they going to believe?
213
00:11:47,660 --> 00:11:50,380
There's got to be something else. Has
he been sued?
214
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:52,340
Er, no. We checked.
215
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:55,020
I hate to have to say this, but...
216
00:11:55,020 --> 00:11:57,540
we've reached the end of the road on
this one.
217
00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:00,380
Unless we can prove that he's a
danger to his patients,
218
00:12:00,380 --> 00:12:02,020
we've got nothing.
219
00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:03,620
Maybe we can.
220
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,380
Yes. Alec was experimental. That's
one of the things I liked about him.
221
00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:11,420
What about S&M?
222
00:12:11,420 --> 00:12:12,900
Are you offering?
223
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,380
He got me into it.
224
00:12:14,380 --> 00:12:16,340
Don't knock it till you try it.
225
00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:20,380
Your relationship started when you
were still his patient.
226
00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:21,460
What has Alec done?
227
00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:24,300
Was there a time when you wanted to
stop but felt you couldn't?
228
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:26,220
That's all part of the fun.
229
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:28,220
OK. Do you feel he abused you at
all?
230
00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:30,300
Oh, please. Look...
231
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:32,820
Alec is a good man with some very
bad habits.
232
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:35,540
There's a lot of pressure on him in
the outside world.
233
00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:37,620
Pioneering treatments for infertile
women.
234
00:12:37,620 --> 00:12:39,660
Raising money for rape victims.
235
00:12:39,660 --> 00:12:41,620
What he did with me was an outlet.
236
00:12:41,620 --> 00:12:43,180
So why did you end it?
237
00:12:47,820 --> 00:12:49,780
Nothing turned Alec on more than
fear.
238
00:12:49,780 --> 00:12:52,980
When I stopped being scared,
he wanted to take it further.
239
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:56,260
How much further?
240
00:12:56,260 --> 00:12:57,900
Did he want to torture you?
241
00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:59,740
I don't mind ropes at all.
Just...
242
00:12:59,740 --> 00:13:01,820
Not around my neck.
243
00:13:01,820 --> 00:13:03,940
It seemed creepy after what happened
to his wife.
244
00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:10,980
Dr Merrick's wife Tessa Merrick
hanged herself five years ago
245
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:12,300
from a beam above their bed.
246
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:13,500
And she left a note.
247
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:16,500
"You can't hurt me any more.
Love does not equal pain."
248
00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:21,340
It says here she had a history of
mental illness.
249
00:13:21,340 --> 00:13:24,140
But does that even matter
if he was torturing her?
250
00:13:24,140 --> 00:13:25,740
Have we got proof of that?
251
00:13:25,740 --> 00:13:29,700
He's a pervert. He tied a rope
around Donna Miller's neck
252
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:30,940
because it turned him on.
253
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:34,340
But he stopped when she asked him
to, Matt.
254
00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:36,900
And everything else they did was
consensual.
255
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,380
So he moved on to Laura Todd,
to easier prey.
256
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,220
And God only knows what he did to
poor Diane Perkins,
257
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:45,740
who also tried to kill herself.
258
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:48,700
This is a doctor who likes to hurt
people.
259
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:50,460
Am I the only one making
connections?
260
00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:52,140
We're all seeing the links, Matt.
261
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:54,260
We all know he's a nasty piece of
work.
262
00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:57,900
But we also know that Diane Perkins
hasn't made any allegations.
263
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:01,260
And Laura Todd's complaint was not
proven.
264
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:03,220
And what about Alesha?
265
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,140
I thought you'd understand.
As a woman...
266
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:09,620
As a woman, I want to cut off his
dick with a rusty hacksaw
267
00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:10,980
and ram it down his throat.
268
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:15,100
As your boss, I suggest you take what
you have got to Steel
269
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:16,300
and see what he says.
270
00:14:23,380 --> 00:14:24,540
There isn't enough.
271
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:25,580
No, but -
272
00:14:25,580 --> 00:14:27,100
There's no real evidence here.
273
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,660
His wife's suicide is irrelevant,
274
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,980
and the rest is inadmissible.
275
00:14:31,980 --> 00:14:33,300
Look at the history.
276
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:37,860
It's bad, yes.
But a judge won't allow any of it.
277
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:40,860
It's got nothing to do with what Dr
Merrick allegedly did to Alesha.
278
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:43,460
What's going on?
279
00:14:47,540 --> 00:14:49,460
We don't have enough of a case.
280
00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:53,460
I'm sorry. No other women have come
forward.
281
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:55,980
They're probably too scared
to speak out.
282
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:58,020
Which is what he relies on.
283
00:14:58,020 --> 00:14:59,620
He'll do it again. He won't stop.
284
00:14:59,620 --> 00:15:01,340
And what if he goes further next
time?
285
00:15:01,340 --> 00:15:02,380
Alesha.
286
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:04,260
What if he already has?
287
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:05,300
If no-one speaks out -
288
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:06,380
James, I spoke out.
289
00:15:06,380 --> 00:15:09,420
All I have is your word against
his.
290
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:11,940
There's his reputation.
291
00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:14,620
Why would a Harley Street doctor
292
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:16,780
want to touch up a black girl from
Hackney?
293
00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:18,500
You're making this personal.
294
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:21,260
It is personal, James.
I was the one lying there.
295
00:15:21,260 --> 00:15:23,100
I'm as angry as you are.
You're not.
296
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:25,140
I want to help you.
Then do something.
297
00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:26,860
We don't stand a chance.
298
00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:28,260
Oh...
299
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,900
What kind of message are we sending
out here?
300
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:39,540
"Guess what, ladies.
You're just not worth the risk."
301
00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:40,620
Alesha, please.
302
00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:44,260
It's not just about me, James.
It's about everyone else.
303
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:46,700
There's nothing I can do.
304
00:16:19,380 --> 00:16:21,580
Are you feeling OK?
Just a bit nervous.
305
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:23,060
Oh, there's no need to be.
306
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:26,340
OK, if you could just hop up on to
the table for me.
307
00:16:35,780 --> 00:16:37,820
I've had some.
308
00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:39,380
Have some more.
309
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:42,180
It helps to show up
any problem areas with the scan.
310
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:57,180
Here's the lignocaine.
311
00:16:57,180 --> 00:17:00,300
Before we start, would you like
Nurse Gregory to stay?
312
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:02,260
You do have that option.
313
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:08,060
No. No, it's OK.
314
00:17:10,220 --> 00:17:11,700
Then I will see you tomorrow.
315
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:14,300
Thanks.
316
00:17:16,380 --> 00:17:19,260
You're no good to me up there, I'm
afraid. You'll have to lie down.
317
00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:23,020
Ah...
318
00:17:27,340 --> 00:17:28,300
I feel weird.
319
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:31,940
Relax.
320
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:33,860
The odds are, you won't feel a
thing.
321
00:17:37,780 --> 00:17:38,740
Alesha.
322
00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:42,540
Have some more water.
323
00:17:57,260 --> 00:17:58,820
Good girl.
324
00:18:00,260 --> 00:18:01,220
You ready?
325
00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:05,380
No...
326
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:07,740
You came back.
327
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:22,079
She called the office
328
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:24,039
and asked us to go over.
What's happened?
329
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,159
She said she's been drugged and
raped.
330
00:18:26,159 --> 00:18:28,199
I took a urine sample straight away.
331
00:18:28,199 --> 00:18:30,159
The doctor who examined her said
332
00:18:30,159 --> 00:18:32,079
there was penetration and
ejaculation.
333
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:33,879
No wounds, but lots of heavy
bruising.
334
00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:35,599
Finger marks on her thighs.
335
00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:36,559
She's in here.
336
00:18:38,679 --> 00:18:40,399
Where did it happen?
337
00:18:40,399 --> 00:18:41,439
Harley Street.
338
00:18:41,439 --> 00:18:43,199
Merrick.
339
00:18:43,199 --> 00:18:44,599
That was the name she gave.
340
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:45,679
Right.
341
00:18:47,134 --> 00:18:49,214
Why don't you go and see her?
342
00:18:49,214 --> 00:18:51,494
You're her mate.
343
00:18:57,414 --> 00:18:59,374
KNOCKING
344
00:19:09,054 --> 00:19:10,334
How are you?
345
00:19:10,334 --> 00:19:12,294
I've had better days.
346
00:19:14,374 --> 00:19:17,294
At least now we can lock the bastard
up.
347
00:19:21,054 --> 00:19:23,654
He drugged me, Matt.
348
00:19:25,574 --> 00:19:29,174
It must have been rohypnol or GHB.
I don't know.
349
00:19:31,654 --> 00:19:35,294
But he kept plying me with water
in his office, and then in the room.
350
00:19:46,814 --> 00:19:49,494
Why did you go back
after what he already did?
351
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:53,734
Someone had to stop him.
352
00:19:55,014 --> 00:19:58,054
I didn't expect him to rape me.
353
00:19:59,494 --> 00:20:01,454
It hurt like hell.
354
00:20:02,814 --> 00:20:04,854
He kept talking.
355
00:20:04,854 --> 00:20:07,014
I couldn't do anything.
356
00:20:14,894 --> 00:20:18,134
You know? Like in a nightmare when
you can't move or scream.
357
00:20:30,934 --> 00:20:32,614
It's OK.
358
00:20:34,454 --> 00:20:39,094
Whatever romantic details I've
forgotten, should be on this.
359
00:20:39,094 --> 00:20:41,254
You filmed it?
360
00:20:43,574 --> 00:20:45,694
Hid it in my bag.
361
00:20:45,694 --> 00:20:49,254
It's not my word against his any
more.
362
00:20:51,814 --> 00:20:53,774
I won't be a victim, Matt.
363
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:57,454
MERRICK ON VIDEO: 'This is what you
want, isn't it?
364
00:20:57,454 --> 00:20:58,534
ALESHA: No!
365
00:20:58,534 --> 00:21:01,414
You begged me to do this to you.
Stop!
366
00:21:01,414 --> 00:21:03,454
Horny little slut.
367
00:21:03,454 --> 00:21:06,974
Dirty little black bitch.
368
00:21:12,134 --> 00:21:15,694
There now. Didn't that feel good?'
369
00:21:22,174 --> 00:21:24,254
Did you speak to Merrick?
370
00:21:24,254 --> 00:21:29,454
Um, no. He had the morning off.
Although we did speak to the nurse.
371
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:33,294
She went straight home
after leaving the examination room.
372
00:21:33,294 --> 00:21:35,654
She's an agency nurse.
She's been with him a month.
373
00:21:35,654 --> 00:21:37,494
Had no idea this was going on,
obviously.
374
00:21:37,494 --> 00:21:39,014
What about the rest of his staff?
375
00:21:39,014 --> 00:21:42,334
Well, they think the world of him.
376
00:21:42,334 --> 00:21:45,054
Forensics found no trace
of semen.
377
00:21:45,054 --> 00:21:46,974
He'd cleaned up.
378
00:21:46,974 --> 00:21:49,374
We're now waiting to see if there's
any traces of drugs
379
00:21:49,374 --> 00:21:51,134
in Alesha's samples.
380
00:21:51,134 --> 00:21:53,214
They'd better find something.
381
00:21:53,214 --> 00:21:55,534
We've got all the evidence on the
tape, though.
382
00:21:55,534 --> 00:21:57,614
Not really.
383
00:21:57,614 --> 00:22:00,454
Case is thrown out. Alesha goes
back.
384
00:22:00,454 --> 00:22:02,774
Knee-jerk defence. Entrapment.
385
00:22:02,774 --> 00:22:04,054
She went in for a biopsy.
386
00:22:04,054 --> 00:22:07,014
With a spy camera. Did you know she
was going to do this? Oh yeah (!)
387
00:22:07,014 --> 00:22:09,814
I said, "Don't give up.
Next time, you might get lucky."
388
00:22:09,814 --> 00:22:11,854
Ronnie Brooks. Hello?
389
00:22:11,854 --> 00:22:15,694
The cab she hailed on Marylebone
Road. Does the driver remember her?
390
00:22:15,694 --> 00:22:18,614
He remembers the drop-off
at the hospital.
391
00:22:18,614 --> 00:22:20,574
But not the customer, no.
392
00:22:20,574 --> 00:22:22,094
Thank you very much.
393
00:22:22,094 --> 00:22:25,534
Er, OK, gentlemen.
394
00:22:25,534 --> 00:22:27,854
There were traces of GHB in Alesha's
samples.
395
00:22:29,334 --> 00:22:31,774
Well, that's something.
396
00:22:33,294 --> 00:22:34,254
She's here.
397
00:22:45,654 --> 00:22:46,614
Hey there.
398
00:22:49,214 --> 00:22:50,254
Are you all right?
399
00:22:50,254 --> 00:22:52,214
Yeah.
400
00:22:54,134 --> 00:22:55,974
You should be at home.
401
00:22:55,974 --> 00:22:57,654
He's right, you know.
402
00:22:57,654 --> 00:23:01,014
Cup of tea in my office, gentlemen,
please.
403
00:23:15,294 --> 00:23:17,374
That's a first.
404
00:23:17,374 --> 00:23:19,334
George entertaining.
405
00:23:29,494 --> 00:23:31,454
Did you watch it?
406
00:23:34,214 --> 00:23:35,934
Yes.
407
00:23:37,374 --> 00:23:40,014
What are you going to do?
408
00:23:41,694 --> 00:23:43,654
I can't talk about it.
409
00:23:43,654 --> 00:23:46,454
What are you going to do?
410
00:23:50,974 --> 00:23:54,494
There were traces of GHB found in
your samples.
411
00:23:54,494 --> 00:23:55,614
Then we've got him.
412
00:23:55,614 --> 00:23:57,294
It's not that simple.
413
00:23:59,574 --> 00:24:03,174
He asked you if you wanted a nurse
in the room.
414
00:24:03,174 --> 00:24:04,734
You said no.
415
00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:08,574
You went back there after he'd
assaulted you.
416
00:24:10,534 --> 00:24:13,774
He's going to be in the witness box,
claiming that you wanted it.
417
00:24:13,774 --> 00:24:15,374
To be drugged?
418
00:24:15,374 --> 00:24:17,014
And raped?
419
00:24:17,014 --> 00:24:18,094
To incriminate him.
420
00:24:18,094 --> 00:24:21,574
Less than 6% of reported rape cases
which go to trial -
421
00:24:21,574 --> 00:24:23,334
I know the statistics.
422
00:24:25,494 --> 00:24:27,654
I have to do this, and you have to
prosecute for me.
423
00:24:29,534 --> 00:24:31,654
We have a personal relationship.
424
00:24:31,654 --> 00:24:33,734
Please.
425
00:24:33,734 --> 00:24:36,534
I have to know that what I went
through was worth it.
426
00:24:36,534 --> 00:24:38,574
No. Don't say that.
427
00:24:38,574 --> 00:24:40,614
You're always telling me
428
00:24:40,614 --> 00:24:42,574
that we should fight for the victim.
429
00:24:44,134 --> 00:24:46,174
I am the victim.
430
00:24:46,174 --> 00:24:49,094
Fight for me.
431
00:24:53,214 --> 00:24:54,254
OK.
432
00:24:54,254 --> 00:24:56,214
Thank you.
433
00:25:05,734 --> 00:25:07,814
There he is.
434
00:25:07,814 --> 00:25:09,814
Dr Alec Merrick.
Yes?
435
00:25:09,814 --> 00:25:12,094
You look so much taller on film.
436
00:25:12,094 --> 00:25:15,014
We're arresting you on suspicion of
the rape of Alesha Phillips.
437
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,494
You don't have to say anything,
438
00:25:16,494 --> 00:25:18,574
but it may harm your defence
439
00:25:18,574 --> 00:25:20,614
if you do not mention when
questioned,
440
00:25:20,614 --> 00:25:22,294
something you later rely on in
court.
441
00:25:22,294 --> 00:25:24,254
You're hurting me.
442
00:25:24,254 --> 00:25:26,214
Didn't that feel good?
443
00:25:28,094 --> 00:25:30,814
What was Alesha thinking?
Playing Nancy bloody Drew?
444
00:25:30,814 --> 00:25:33,134
She didn't want him getting away
with the assault.
445
00:25:33,134 --> 00:25:34,894
He may get away with a lot more now.
446
00:25:34,894 --> 00:25:37,894
He's got Phyllis Gladstone as his
defence barrister.
447
00:25:37,894 --> 00:25:38,934
Great (!)
448
00:25:38,934 --> 00:25:40,254
We know what she'll argue -
449
00:25:40,254 --> 00:25:42,454
a woman has the foresight to record
her own rape?
450
00:25:42,454 --> 00:25:45,454
Looks like she expected it.
Instigated it.
451
00:25:45,454 --> 00:25:47,534
Tempted an otherwise innocent man.
452
00:25:47,534 --> 00:25:50,774
He's not innocent. He drugged her.
You've seen the tape.
453
00:25:50,774 --> 00:25:52,574
I didn't see him force drugs on her.
454
00:25:52,574 --> 00:25:56,374
You'll have to prove that he has the
propensity to commit sex crimes
455
00:25:56,374 --> 00:25:57,494
or he walks.
456
00:25:57,494 --> 00:25:59,574
He's a very eminent doctor, James.
457
00:25:59,574 --> 00:26:02,094
Why did she have to go and get
herself raped?
458
00:26:02,094 --> 00:26:03,534
I mean, how stupid can you be?
459
00:26:03,534 --> 00:26:05,014
It's done.
460
00:26:05,014 --> 00:26:07,734
It's happened.
So now we have to deal with it.
461
00:26:07,734 --> 00:26:11,054
She'll go through hell in that
witness box.
462
00:26:11,054 --> 00:26:13,014
She's already there.
463
00:26:25,534 --> 00:26:28,374
The subconscious endorsement of the
female counsel.
464
00:26:28,374 --> 00:26:30,174
The oldest trick in the book.
465
00:26:30,174 --> 00:26:33,294
I like to think Dr Merrick picked me
because I'm the best.
466
00:26:33,294 --> 00:26:35,334
How can you defend that man?
467
00:26:35,334 --> 00:26:36,414
Cab rank principle.
468
00:26:36,414 --> 00:26:38,614
You bang on to the press about the
rights of women
469
00:26:38,614 --> 00:26:40,014
who hit back at their abusers.
470
00:26:40,014 --> 00:26:41,574
I'm doing this for them.
471
00:26:41,574 --> 00:26:44,174
Women who cry rape spit in the eye
of the genuine victims.
472
00:26:44,174 --> 00:26:46,214
Alesha is a genuine victim.
473
00:26:46,214 --> 00:26:48,254
Judge Silverton doesn't think so.
474
00:26:48,254 --> 00:26:50,974
Why else would he allow
reporting restrictions?
475
00:26:50,974 --> 00:26:53,014
Dr Merrick treats MPs.
You saw that tape.
476
00:26:53,014 --> 00:26:55,494
She didn't fight. She didn't scream.
477
00:26:55,494 --> 00:26:57,534
Because she was drugged.
478
00:26:57,534 --> 00:26:58,694
That was her idea.
479
00:26:58,694 --> 00:27:00,654
To put her in the mood.
480
00:27:00,654 --> 00:27:02,494
You are kidding me?
481
00:27:02,494 --> 00:27:05,094
GHB has been used for recreational
purposes for years.
482
00:27:05,094 --> 00:27:08,214
Not by Alesha. He spiked her water.
Then he raped her.
483
00:27:08,214 --> 00:27:09,774
she was badly bruised, Phyllis.
484
00:27:09,774 --> 00:27:11,054
She likes it rough.
485
00:27:11,054 --> 00:27:13,254
That's what she said in his office
beforehand
486
00:27:13,254 --> 00:27:15,174
when she came on to him, all tits
and teeth.
487
00:27:15,174 --> 00:27:16,894
Agent provocateur.
488
00:27:18,254 --> 00:27:19,774
If you cared about her,
489
00:27:19,774 --> 00:27:22,934
you'd spare her what I'm about to
put her through.
490
00:27:22,934 --> 00:27:25,214
She is tougher and stronger than you
think.
491
00:27:25,214 --> 00:27:26,214
Hm.
492
00:28:15,814 --> 00:28:18,734
VIDEO: 'This is what you want, isn't
it? No!
493
00:28:18,734 --> 00:28:22,214
You begged me to do this to you.
494
00:28:22,214 --> 00:28:24,614
Stop!
495
00:28:24,614 --> 00:28:27,094
Dirty black slut! Bitch.'
496
00:28:41,734 --> 00:28:43,694
Didn't that feel good?'
497
00:28:51,774 --> 00:28:56,014
Why did you take a camera into the
examination room?
498
00:28:56,014 --> 00:28:59,334
Dr Merrick had touched me
inappropriately before.
499
00:29:00,294 --> 00:29:03,214
I believe that he was abusing his
position as a gynaecologist.
500
00:29:03,214 --> 00:29:05,934
And you wanted confirmation of that?
501
00:29:05,934 --> 00:29:09,814
Yes. That's why I didn't ask the
nurse to stay.
502
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:11,854
Thank you.
503
00:29:11,854 --> 00:29:13,214
No further questions.
504
00:29:16,014 --> 00:29:17,854
You're a CPS employee, Miss
Phillips.
505
00:29:18,934 --> 00:29:20,574
Why don't you trust the police?
506
00:29:22,214 --> 00:29:26,214
Weren't they investigating this
alleged previous incident?
507
00:29:26,214 --> 00:29:28,654
They didn't have enough evidence to
proceed.
508
00:29:28,654 --> 00:29:30,894
I wanted proof.
509
00:29:32,014 --> 00:29:33,934
Which is why you suggested to my
client
510
00:29:33,934 --> 00:29:35,734
that you take drugs and have sex
with him?
511
00:29:36,814 --> 00:29:39,214
I did no such thing.
512
00:29:39,214 --> 00:29:40,694
As an experienced prosecutor,
513
00:29:40,694 --> 00:29:42,454
you must have seen a lot of rape
trials.
514
00:29:42,454 --> 00:29:44,534
Yes.
515
00:29:44,534 --> 00:29:47,534
So you'd know what would make a
convincing rape victim?
516
00:29:49,214 --> 00:29:50,654
I'm not lying.
517
00:29:50,654 --> 00:29:53,734
You've just admitted that you went
there that day,
518
00:29:53,734 --> 00:29:56,254
with the sole purpose
of enticing Dr Merrick...
519
00:29:56,254 --> 00:29:57,334
I didn't entice him.
520
00:29:57,334 --> 00:29:59,014
..into a sexual act.
521
00:29:59,014 --> 00:30:01,214
I thought he would touch me
like he did before.
522
00:30:01,214 --> 00:30:03,894
I had no idea he would drug and rape
me.
523
00:30:05,494 --> 00:30:07,214
Who is Dr Barbara Lawrence?
524
00:30:13,294 --> 00:30:14,574
She's my doctor.
525
00:30:14,574 --> 00:30:16,054
What kind of doctor?
526
00:30:20,934 --> 00:30:23,014
She's...
527
00:30:23,014 --> 00:30:25,374
She's a gynaecologist
at Waterloo City.
528
00:30:25,374 --> 00:30:29,334
And you've been seeing her for the
last five years?
529
00:30:29,334 --> 00:30:31,054
Yes.
530
00:30:31,054 --> 00:30:35,734
Do you see two dentists,
Miss Phillips?
531
00:30:37,294 --> 00:30:39,254
I wanted a second opinion.
532
00:30:42,214 --> 00:30:43,294
Who is Diane Perkins?
533
00:30:46,334 --> 00:30:49,894
Is she a friend of yours from City
Law School?
534
00:30:51,694 --> 00:30:52,774
Yes.
535
00:30:52,774 --> 00:30:55,094
My lord, I don't see how this is
relevant.
536
00:30:55,094 --> 00:30:56,974
Miss Gladstone?
Where is this heading?
537
00:30:56,974 --> 00:30:59,214
Diane Perkins is a former patient of
Dr Merrick's
538
00:30:59,214 --> 00:31:01,494
who has a grudge against him.
539
00:31:01,494 --> 00:31:04,134
This has never been mentioned
before, my lord.
540
00:31:04,134 --> 00:31:07,894
The defence case is that these two
women must have set out together
541
00:31:07,894 --> 00:31:09,214
to smear Dr Merrick -
542
00:31:09,214 --> 00:31:11,054
My lord, this cannot be allowed.
543
00:31:11,054 --> 00:31:13,014
It was nothing more than...
My lord!
544
00:31:13,014 --> 00:31:14,294
..grubby little vendetta.
545
00:31:14,294 --> 00:31:15,414
Please, my lord!
546
00:31:15,414 --> 00:31:16,694
..not a quest for justice.
547
00:31:16,694 --> 00:31:20,334
How would you feel if you were
cross-examining me, Miss Phillips?
548
00:31:20,334 --> 00:31:22,894
That's enough, Miss Gladstone.
549
00:31:22,894 --> 00:31:24,574
Members of the jury.
550
00:31:24,574 --> 00:31:27,214
May I ask you to go with the usher
for a few moments?
551
00:31:29,294 --> 00:31:31,334
Thank you, Miss Phillips.
You can go.
552
00:31:41,574 --> 00:31:44,014
This should have been raised at the
pre-trial review.
553
00:31:44,014 --> 00:31:46,934
It's something the defence
themselves have only just found out.
554
00:31:46,934 --> 00:31:49,174
Do you plan to call Miss Perkins to
give evidence?
555
00:31:49,174 --> 00:31:50,814
I don't. She is mentally unstable.
556
00:31:50,814 --> 00:31:52,534
But I can put it to the witness.
557
00:31:52,534 --> 00:31:55,414
This is without foundation.
How can there be a fair trial now?
558
00:31:55,414 --> 00:31:57,494
The jury should be discharged.
559
00:31:57,494 --> 00:32:02,094
There's no need. I'll tell them to
disregard Miss Gladstone's remarks.
560
00:32:02,094 --> 00:32:03,374
The seed has been planted.
561
00:32:03,374 --> 00:32:06,134
The damage is done, which is what
Miss Gladstone intended.
562
00:32:06,134 --> 00:32:09,054
If I swapped juries every time a
barrister ran off at the mouth,
563
00:32:09,054 --> 00:32:10,254
we'd never reach a verdict.
564
00:32:12,094 --> 00:32:14,054
Thank you, my lord.
565
00:32:32,014 --> 00:32:33,974
You should have told me.
566
00:32:47,174 --> 00:32:50,094
Diane was my best mate in uni.
567
00:32:51,894 --> 00:32:55,214
She was raped
by her boyfriend and his room-mate.
568
00:32:56,654 --> 00:32:58,614
They said she'd asked for it.
569
00:33:02,494 --> 00:33:04,534
She took a whole load of pills.
570
00:33:04,534 --> 00:33:07,174
She quit. She went home.
571
00:33:07,174 --> 00:33:09,574
Only I knew.
572
00:33:12,854 --> 00:33:15,214
What's all that got to do with Dr
Merrick?
573
00:33:17,534 --> 00:33:20,774
She thought she couldn't have kids
because of what they did.
574
00:33:20,934 --> 00:33:23,214
That's why I told her to go and see
him.
575
00:33:25,534 --> 00:33:27,494
God, I even lent her the money.
576
00:33:33,694 --> 00:33:35,334
Alesha, why didn't you come to us?
577
00:33:35,334 --> 00:33:38,454
What was the point? She wouldn't
even talk to me. Her friend.
578
00:33:40,734 --> 00:33:43,854
So what? You went to Merrick's, to
find out what he'd done?
579
00:33:46,294 --> 00:33:48,294
I never knew, but...
580
00:33:48,294 --> 00:33:50,254
He must have raped her too.
581
00:33:54,254 --> 00:33:56,054
And now he'll walk free,
582
00:33:56,054 --> 00:33:59,774
leaving all of his victims
to live with what he did.
583
00:34:02,294 --> 00:34:04,254
And it's all my fault.
584
00:34:16,998 --> 00:34:18,438
OK, James. Merrick's next.
585
00:34:18,438 --> 00:34:20,878
Don't let your emotions get the
better of you.
586
00:34:20,878 --> 00:34:23,078
Be passionate, yes, but stay focused.
587
00:34:23,078 --> 00:34:25,838
Alesha has already lost credibility
as a witness,
588
00:34:25,838 --> 00:34:27,598
thanks to the wicked witch of
defence.
589
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:29,718
She needs you to go in there and be
brilliant.
590
00:34:29,718 --> 00:34:32,518
Do you want to do it instead of me,
George? Don't tempt me.
591
00:34:32,518 --> 00:34:34,918
I won't let her down.
592
00:34:34,918 --> 00:34:39,118
She said she'd been fantasising
about me since the day we met,
593
00:34:39,118 --> 00:34:41,078
that she had a thing for doctors.
594
00:34:42,558 --> 00:34:45,598
And then she told me what she would
like to happen.
595
00:34:45,598 --> 00:34:47,638
What was that, Dr Merrick?
596
00:34:47,638 --> 00:34:49,678
She wanted to take some GHB,
597
00:34:49,678 --> 00:34:52,478
then go into the examination room,
598
00:34:52,478 --> 00:34:54,718
and act as though we were going to
do the biopsy.
599
00:34:55,398 --> 00:34:56,958
We would get rid of the nurse,...
600
00:34:58,598 --> 00:35:01,638
..and then... Er...
601
00:35:03,838 --> 00:35:05,398
Do you remember her exact words?
602
00:35:08,358 --> 00:35:10,318
Answer the question if you will.
603
00:35:13,238 --> 00:35:16,678
Ahem. That I was to "give it to her
good and hard."
604
00:35:16,678 --> 00:35:19,158
Those are her words, not mine.
605
00:35:19,158 --> 00:35:21,838
How did you feel when you were
arrested for rape?
606
00:35:21,838 --> 00:35:23,758
Devastated.
607
00:35:23,758 --> 00:35:25,838
I've treated rape victims.
608
00:35:25,838 --> 00:35:28,078
I raise money for rape crisis
centres.
609
00:35:28,078 --> 00:35:31,918
I know from experience how
horrendous it is for them.
610
00:35:31,918 --> 00:35:33,878
Thank you, Dr Merrick.
611
00:35:46,838 --> 00:35:48,758
Do you call all your women dirty
bitches?
612
00:35:50,758 --> 00:35:52,718
It was part of the role play.
613
00:35:53,998 --> 00:35:56,518
The whole thing made me feel very
uncomfortable.
614
00:35:56,518 --> 00:35:58,038
It didn't look like it.
615
00:35:58,038 --> 00:36:01,278
You seemed quite at home penetrating
a patient who couldn't fight back.
616
00:36:01,278 --> 00:36:03,318
She said it was her fantasy.
617
00:36:03,318 --> 00:36:05,398
To lie there helpless,
while you abused her?
618
00:36:05,398 --> 00:36:07,358
I wish I hadn't fallen for it.
619
00:36:10,558 --> 00:36:13,918
I was stupid and weak.
620
00:36:15,998 --> 00:36:17,518
But I did not rape her.
621
00:36:19,758 --> 00:36:22,838
You're very good at role-play,
aren't you, Dr Merrick?
622
00:36:22,838 --> 00:36:24,398
What role are you playing today?
623
00:36:24,398 --> 00:36:26,318
I'm here to tell the truth.
624
00:36:26,318 --> 00:36:29,438
How can we believe a man who swaps
characters so easily?
625
00:36:29,438 --> 00:36:33,038
You were very convincing as the
sadistic rapist we all saw on film.
626
00:36:33,038 --> 00:36:34,078
Which is the real you?
627
00:36:34,078 --> 00:36:35,598
I am the victim.
628
00:36:35,598 --> 00:36:37,718
But you didn't know you were being
filmed.
629
00:36:37,718 --> 00:36:40,198
That was the real you, wasn't it,
Dr Merrick?
630
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:42,798
A man who thinks nothing of drugging
and raping a patient
631
00:36:42,798 --> 00:36:45,198
who'd come in for a cancer biopsy.
She entrapped me.
632
00:36:45,198 --> 00:36:47,118
She came to you for help
and you raped her.
633
00:36:47,118 --> 00:36:48,318
She asked for it.
634
00:36:56,198 --> 00:36:57,878
Did your other victims ask for it
too?
635
00:36:57,878 --> 00:36:59,238
My lord, this is an outrage.
636
00:36:59,238 --> 00:37:01,918
The ones you drugged and tortured?
This cannot be allowed.
637
00:37:01,918 --> 00:37:03,758
I have never hurt any woman.
638
00:37:03,758 --> 00:37:05,118
What about your wife?
639
00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:09,850
Didn't she hang herself, leaving a
note about escaping the pain?
640
00:37:09,850 --> 00:37:11,250
That's enough, Mr Steel.
641
00:37:11,250 --> 00:37:14,210
You don't have to answer
that question, Dr Merrick.
642
00:37:14,210 --> 00:37:16,690
The jury will disregard those last
remarks.
643
00:37:16,690 --> 00:37:18,410
Very well, my lord.
644
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:20,450
I'd like to answer that, if I may.
645
00:37:25,570 --> 00:37:27,530
My wife was a manic depressive.
646
00:37:29,170 --> 00:37:32,210
I knew that when I married her
but...
647
00:37:32,210 --> 00:37:33,170
I was deeply in love.
648
00:37:35,850 --> 00:37:38,330
She couldn't conceive.
649
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:41,050
The pain I caused
650
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,850
was that I could help other
infertile women, but not her.
651
00:37:43,850 --> 00:37:47,090
Everyone who knows me will tell you
652
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:50,970
that I have dedicated my life
to empowering women.
653
00:37:50,970 --> 00:37:52,450
Like Miss Phillips?
654
00:37:52,450 --> 00:37:54,170
I did not rape her.
655
00:37:54,170 --> 00:37:56,130
No further questions.
656
00:38:05,610 --> 00:38:06,690
Members of the jury.
657
00:38:06,690 --> 00:38:09,290
Have you reached a verdict
upon which you are all agreed?
658
00:38:09,290 --> 00:38:11,210
Yes.
659
00:38:11,210 --> 00:38:13,250
In relation to the count of rape,
660
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:16,570
do you find the defendant, Dr Alec
Merrick
661
00:38:16,570 --> 00:38:18,690
guilty or not guilty?
662
00:38:22,730 --> 00:38:24,410
Not guilty.
663
00:38:53,810 --> 00:38:56,890
He won't stop. The next lucky lady
is out there somewhere.
664
00:38:56,890 --> 00:38:58,010
You must be very proud.
665
00:38:58,010 --> 00:38:59,810
It was the jury's decision.
666
00:38:59,810 --> 00:39:02,010
They didn't know the facts. You did.
667
00:39:02,010 --> 00:39:03,890
You shouldn't have taken this case.
668
00:39:03,890 --> 00:39:06,290
You're too emotionally involved.
It's over.
669
00:39:06,290 --> 00:39:08,690
Not for his victims.
Not for Alesha.
670
00:39:08,690 --> 00:39:11,810
You just helped a rapist walk free.
671
00:39:11,810 --> 00:39:15,530
Try telling that little story at
your next women's rights function.
672
00:39:28,210 --> 00:39:30,010
I'm sorry.
673
00:39:31,090 --> 00:39:33,050
I should have told you about Diane.
674
00:39:34,930 --> 00:39:39,010
Unless anyone else comes forward,
we'll never get him.
675
00:39:41,090 --> 00:39:42,490
No-one will come forward.
676
00:39:50,610 --> 00:39:52,570
It's not over.
677
00:39:53,050 --> 00:39:55,170
What can we do?
678
00:39:57,170 --> 00:39:59,930
His victims know what he did.
679
00:39:59,930 --> 00:40:01,930
They all think they're alone.
680
00:40:04,250 --> 00:40:08,170
If he were to be arrested in public,
681
00:40:08,170 --> 00:40:10,250
they might speak out.
682
00:40:10,250 --> 00:40:14,650
And give you the evidence you'd need
to charge him?
683
00:40:17,210 --> 00:40:19,290
Dr Merrick is giving a talk tomorrow
684
00:40:19,290 --> 00:40:22,290
on latest developments in curing
ovarian cancer. Three o'clock.
685
00:40:22,290 --> 00:40:24,770
There will be TV cameras there.
686
00:40:24,770 --> 00:40:26,810
I know this is a lot to ask, Matt.
687
00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:28,210
Are you OK with it?
688
00:40:28,210 --> 00:40:30,450
I'm more than OK.
689
00:40:32,210 --> 00:40:34,090
What do you reckon, then, guv?
690
00:40:34,090 --> 00:40:36,130
All we need is for you to give us
the nod.
691
00:40:38,530 --> 00:40:41,010
Wait until they start filming.
692
00:40:43,010 --> 00:40:45,610
We've seen enhanced recovery
programmes work
693
00:40:45,610 --> 00:40:47,530
for colo-rectal surgery.
694
00:40:47,530 --> 00:40:50,250
And I'm pleased to say that these
principles
695
00:40:50,250 --> 00:40:52,290
can be applied to gynaecological...
696
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:57,810
..can be applied to gynaecological
oncology as well.
697
00:40:59,250 --> 00:41:00,290
Um...
698
00:41:00,290 --> 00:41:01,890
Patient outcome is excellent,
699
00:41:01,890 --> 00:41:03,850
and satisfaction high.
700
00:41:04,930 --> 00:41:05,890
Er...
701
00:41:07,690 --> 00:41:11,050
The key word here, ladies and
gentlemen, is aftercare.
702
00:41:11,050 --> 00:41:12,250
You said it.
703
00:41:13,450 --> 00:41:15,490
Dr Alec Merrick.
704
00:41:15,490 --> 00:41:17,970
We're arresting you on suspicion of
rape.
705
00:41:21,170 --> 00:41:23,410
WOMAN: Have you got anything to say,
Doctor?
706
00:41:23,410 --> 00:41:25,370
Smile for the cameras.
707
00:41:28,770 --> 00:41:30,250
'I will fight this case
708
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:32,250
on behalf of every innocent man
709
00:41:32,250 --> 00:41:33,770
who has been wrongly accused.
710
00:41:33,770 --> 00:41:34,770
Thank you. Excuse me.'
711
00:41:39,170 --> 00:41:41,130
Have we got a case yet?
712
00:41:42,410 --> 00:41:44,610
We're working on it.
713
00:41:44,610 --> 00:41:47,330
Diane Perkins still won't give
evidence. I checked.
714
00:41:47,330 --> 00:41:49,530
So what's going on?
715
00:41:52,370 --> 00:41:54,570
You've got nothing concrete, have
you?
716
00:41:54,570 --> 00:41:56,490
This is a bluff.
717
00:41:56,490 --> 00:41:59,250
If you don't drop this now, you'll
be in no end of trouble.
718
00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:05,450
Could you come in now?
719
00:42:22,610 --> 00:42:23,850
14 women,
720
00:42:23,850 --> 00:42:26,730
either assaulted, or raped,
721
00:42:26,730 --> 00:42:29,610
by one Dr Alec Merrick,
722
00:42:29,610 --> 00:42:31,570
MBBS.
723
00:42:32,930 --> 00:42:36,250
They all came forward in the last 24
hours, due to your arrest.
724
00:42:39,570 --> 00:42:41,970
Why are you doing this?
725
00:42:41,970 --> 00:42:44,010
I only did what you asked me to.
726
00:42:44,010 --> 00:42:45,930
One of them is Diane Perkins.
727
00:42:45,930 --> 00:42:47,850
You can't get away with this.
728
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:55,170
My client was arrested without
a claimant or a case.
729
00:42:55,170 --> 00:42:56,930
It's wrongful arrest.
It was a punt.
730
00:42:56,930 --> 00:42:58,450
Totally unprofessional.
731
00:42:58,450 --> 00:43:00,650
Yes. It could all have backfired
horribly
732
00:43:00,650 --> 00:43:02,290
but, happily for us, it didn't.
733
00:43:02,290 --> 00:43:04,330
I'll be filing a report
with the Bar council.
734
00:43:04,330 --> 00:43:05,370
Good luck with that.
735
00:43:05,370 --> 00:43:08,930
In the meantime, I suggest that you
ask James, would he...?
736
00:43:08,930 --> 00:43:14,330
I'd like Dr Merrick to spend a week
locked in a room with his victims.
737
00:43:16,570 --> 00:43:18,530
But I'll settle for a life sentence.
738
00:43:34,050 --> 00:43:36,010
Go home.
739
00:43:37,050 --> 00:43:39,010
Get some sleep.
740
00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:26,610
Hello, sweetheart.
How's my little girl?
741
00:44:26,610 --> 00:44:30,290
How's about old Dad come round with
a takeaway?
742
00:44:31,370 --> 00:44:33,650
Great. What do you fancy, a Chinese
or a Thai?
