In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups
-

the police, who investigate crime,

and the Crown Prosecutors, who
prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

I could have left you.

I could have...walked away...

..and you'd still be sick.

But I didn't.

Even though it was wrong.

Because I want you.

I don't care what the law says.

I've always wanted you.

Philip Gardner.
Child psychiatrist. 50 years old.

He's married. Two kids.
Lives just round the corner.

The cleaner found him this morning.
She's downstairs, in tears.

All right. Thank you.
Excuse me, Neil, mate.

Morning, Joy.
All right, Ronnie?

So, we've got multiple stab wounds
to the chest and stomach.

The wounds are deep, so we're looking
for a large blade,
possibly a serrated edge.

But at this stage...
Too early to tell. You guessed it.

Yeah, well, someone's had a proper
go at him, haven't they?

Certainly have.
Ronnie... Yeah?

In a sec, Joy.

What we got here, then?

And you say he treats kids?

What is this? A place to sleep?

Or a place for sex?

I was...helping my son with his
homework.

He's behind on his history project,

so we worked on it together till
quite late.

Then I had a bath and went to bed.

And were you expecting your husband
home?

His hours can be very erratic.

Sometimes he sleeps in the office.

Right. Whereabouts does he sleep?

On the couch, I suppose.

This morning, I had to get the kids
to school.

And then I walked the dogs around
Regent's Park.

We're gonna need to speak with your
children,

I mean, just to confirm that.

I haven't even told them yet.

Just let us have a little time to
adjust, please.

Of course.

Mrs Gardner, you said this morning
you took your dogs for a walk round
the park.

What did you do after that?

Then I came back...

..and now you're here.

Mum! They let us come home early!
So I missed the French test!

Mum?

DS Brooks, this is Jonathan Shale.

He'll be examining Dr Gardner's
patient files for us.

He'll be able to answer any questions
without breaching patient-doctor
confidentiality.

Really?

So we're not allowed to look into
the files ourselves,

but you can and then tell us
what's in there?

Well, not everything, of course.
But I'll help as best I can.

It is how it is, Ron.

Right. So, he just worked with kids,
yeah? 13 and upwards.

Dr Gardner specialised in children
with deep emotional issues.

If that's your criteria for finding
a suspect,

you've got your hands full.

Ron. Come and look at this.

This is some of the stuff we pulled
from the hidden room in Dr Gardner's
office.

I've got a loyalty card from a cafe
here,

this face cream which costs 200
quid...

What, for moisturiser?
Yeah, I know.

And er... And this.
What's that? Soap?

No, no.
This stuff is skateboard wax.

And this coffee place...

is next door to The Undercroft,
on the South Bank. Yeah.

That's a skate park.
No, no. It's THE skate park.

Is it really? THE skate park?
Very good.

Let me tell you, Joe, that stuff
could belong to any number of kids.

Wait. This a good lead.
Yeah?

We're not even gonna do down there?
And what are we gonna look for,
then?

A skateboarder with perfect skin?
No. This is a rich girl.

You don't know that's a girl.
How long was I at Child Protection?

This is a Jane, not a John.
I guarantee it.

This is a rich girl, emotional
issues, right?

Hangs out with the skater boys.
It's got to be worth a try.

Look, if you're worried, I'll hang
back,

you can go and dazzle the kids
with your skating skills. Yeah?

Maybe chuck a few ollies, maybe a few
grinds? What do you reckon?

Well, you've got some front,
I'll give you that.

OK. And where is she, you say?

Over there.
The one in the burgundy hat.

In the hat? Yeah.
OK. Does she have a name?

Anna. Anna?
Yeah. OK. Thanks, lads. Thank you.

Joe?
Any luck?

I'm starting to think this wasn't
such a good idea. Really?

I thought you was gonna charm them
all with your cool talk. Cool talk?

Yeah, you know,
being down with the kids.

I don't even know where to start with
that.

Well, that's OK.
Because Anna does, don't you, Anna?

Well, don't just stand there.
Hey! Oi! Police!

Stop. Hey, stop there!

Hey! Hey, slow down!

Hey! Come on!

No! Get away from me!

You can't make me go back.
I'm not gonna go back!

Calm down. I'm not gonna hurt you.
You can't make me go back to her!

I am not going back to her!

I can't watch her day and night.

No, no, Mrs Sands, I am not judging,

I just need to know where Anna was
last night.

I told you, she was staying with
a friend.

She's been there all week.
She doesn't like my boyfriend.

She doesn't like any of my
boyfriends.

So when was the last time you spoke
to Anna?

Well, she won't pick up the phone
when she knows it's me.

How does she get on with Dr Gardner?
Does she see him a lot?

Philip. The wonderful Philip.
Yes, she's just fine with him,

but when you're throwing bricks
through pub windows and burning the
curtains,

you need all the help you can get.
So, yeah, she sees him twice a week.

Costs me a small fortune and somehow
I'm still a bloody bitch.

No, I'm sorry, I just don't know
why I'm here.

So I skipped school. So what?

Hello, Anna.

I've just been talking to your mum.

Whatever she says, it's bollocks.

Well, she was telling me about
Dr Gardner.

Yeah? And?

Well, what's he like?

He's the best.

We found some of your things in his
office.

Is this about me staying at
Philip's?

I thought you were staying with your
boyfriend?

OK, wow, you got me.

Look, he told me not to tell anyone.
So I...

Why? What did he do?
Nothing!

Jeez, you've got such a dirty mind.

So why keep it a secret?

Look, he had strict rules about
behaviour and a curfew
and all that stuff.

Don't tell me that he's in trouble
about this, cos that's just totally
unfair.

Dr Gardner died last night, Anna.

He... He was murdered.

No.

No. What... No.

Did he ever talk to you about any of
his other patients? You're lying!

I know you're upset, OK?

And I know that he was very, very
special to you.

But...you can help him now, by
helping us find out who did this.

Anna, this is for Dr Gardner now.
Please. Think.

Well...

Well...

There was this...this boy.

I think it must have been one of
his patients or something.

And he was... He was gonna bring
a knife into school.

But Philip sorted that out,
so I don't...

He can't be dead!

He can't be!

Paul?

Paul, for God's sake open the door!

Can I try?
Be my guest.

Paul? Hello, mate, it's DS Hawkins.

Listen, I know you've had a real
shock, right,

but it's very important that we talk
to you about Dr Gardner, OK?

So we just...
Dad? Dad, Paul's on his webcam.

And now the police are here.
They're saying that Dr Gardner's
been murdered.

I-I don't believe it.

I trusted him.

He said everything was gonna to be
OK.

But now it just feels like
everything's gone black again.

Jesus! Shit!

Just let me die!
Just let me be with Philip!

Stay calm! Stay calm.
Ssh, that's it.

I wanna be with Philip! I don't wanna
do it any more!

Mr Downing, was Paul with you
the whole night Dr Gardner died?

Well, no, he was...

Since he was taken off the
medication,

he goes out for walks at night
to clear his head.

What do you mean, sorry?

Dr Gardner took him off
the medication.

I know he's a very good
psychiatrist, but...that scared me.

And that's why I stopped
the sessions.

And how did Paul feel about that?

He went ape.

Right...

Er, they're transferring your son to
the psychiatric ward now.

What do you reckon?

Well, Paul seemed pretty upset when
we told him Gardner was dead.

Yeah, he did.

I just don't like the way all them
kids love that doctor so much.

You think he was abusing Paul?
I don't know. Maybe.

Paul's got no alibi, though, Joe.

You take a mentally unstable lad,

mess with his pills,
what happens then?

I think it's completely
irresponsible.

Paul can't survive without a certain
level of medication.

I'm just not a fan of kids being
doped if it can be avoided.

Nor me. But if you study Paul's case
notes,

you'd see there's no other option.

Why Dr Gardner decided to throw it
all out the window is beyond me.

Paul seemed to like his methods.
He's a child.

He's a teenager, but he's still
easily influenced.

So Dr Carey, you don't think Dr
Gardner's methods helped Paul at all?

No, I don't.

Kids love doctors like Gardner
because they break the rules.

But it's irresponsible, and Paul's
breakdown is all the proof you need.

How do you think Paul would react,
then,

if Dr Gardner had told him he was
gonna get better, then he didn't?

Not well.

Where were you two nights ago, Paul?

I was just walking around. Thinking.

Did you go and see Dr Gardner?

I just walked in circles.

My head gets so busy.

Is that because Dr Gardner messed up
your treatment?

He didn't mess with anything.

Tell us what we've got wrong, then.

'I am a rock in a sea of chaos.'

Philip taught me that.
It's what I say to myself.

I go walking in the dark and I say
it over and over.

He helped calm me down.

Don't you feel calmer now that you're
back on your medication?

I suppose. But I feel shit.

You took a knife to school, Paul.

I went to the school and my brain
was on fire...

and I was just going to stab
everyone, just stab them all,

but... But I remembered what Philip
had taught me.

I'm a rock...in a sea of chaos.

And it stopped me.

He saved me, see?

Where's the knife now, Paul?
I gave it to Philip.

He locked it in his desk.
To keep us all safe.

If there had been a knife, our guys
would have found it during the
original search.

No, you're right.

Oh, and, er, CCTV picked up Paul
wandering around the park,

so he's in the clear.
Right.

OK.

Joe!

Well, no knife, but...
what have we got here?

Clare.

Right...

'The taste of your skin,

of your perfect, unblemished body...

..made me forget about everything.

It didn't matter if people could see
us through the glass.

I don't care what they say.
I want you.

I want YOU.

I have to have you,
whatever the consequences.'

Who is this Clare?
We don't know.

There is no Clare listed among his
clients

and she doesn't speak on the tape.
Not once?

To be honest, guv, we're not really
sure what these tapes are.

Or who she is. We've just got
a Christian name and a rough age
group.

If she was underage,
he'd have wanted to hide her.

Look, guv, we can always go back and
re-interview all of his female
clients,

see if Clare's a nickname for one of
them. Good luck with that.

What else? We're still not able to
see his kids.

What, his wife's in the way?
Yeah.

Strange, that, because they're the
ones that can confirm her alibi.

It don't add up, Wes.
I think she's lying.

She won't like it.
I don't care. Do it.

Whatever Mum said.
OK.

It would be good to hear it from
you, though. Riley?

Hey, Riley's an unusual name.
It's my mum's maiden name.

Sorry?
It's my maiden name.

Oh. Original.

Er, so, anything else can you tell
us about that night?

We just...did my homework together.

It took ages. And then I went to bed.

That's good. That's helpful, Riley.

What time was it?

10:15.

10:15?

That's pretty precise.
How do you know that?

It all happened just like Mum said.

Well, that's really helpful, Riley.
Thank you very much.

I'd like to talk to Lisa now,
if that's OK?

Erm, I'm afraid she's still at
school.

She wanted to get some things,
be with her friends for a while.

If you come back... No, that's fine,
we'll go to the school,

talk to her there.
I'll come with you.

That's OK. Thanks, Mrs Gardner.
We can handle that.

I was in my room.
Mum and Riley were downstairs.

Doing his homework?

Lisa?
Yes. Doing that.

See, I don't think so.

Now, why are you lying to us?
What did Riley say?

Look, Lisa, you've gotta help us out
here.

He came into my room.

OK, when was that?
I don't know. Late.

He'd gone to bed, and he woke up.
He gets these nightmares and...

he was looking for Mum.
And...?

And he couldn't find her,
so we went looking together.

You didn't find her, did you?

Do you think...

What?

Do you think she did it?

Your daughter made a statement.
You forced her to.

Where were you on the night of the
murder? My client answered this.

Did it bother you that he was
spending so much time with young,
impressionable girls?

It was his job. Who's Clare?

I don't know.

Why is there a secret room in your
husband's office? I don't know!
I think you do.

I'm going to play you a tape
recording that we found.

'I am willing to break every rule
and every vow for you.

Nothing else matters.

How can it when our feelings
are so strong -' TURN IT OFF!

(Rock in a sea of chaos.
I am a rock in a sea of chaos.

I am a rock in a sea of chaos.
I am a rock in a sea of chaos.

I am a rock in a sea of chaos...)

Jonathan, how far back does the list
of patients go?

I've got over 20 years of cases
here.

Could you show me the first ones,
please?

Yep. Brilliant.

Ta.

Great.

Alison, were you a patient of
Dr Gardner?

Have you ever been a patient of
Dr Gardner? What's that?

Is that my file? How old were you
when he treated you?

That's my file.
He can't see that, he's not allowed.

Were you young?

I was 15. And did you fall in love
with him whilst he was treating you?

I really don't want to talk about
this.

Well, you reacted very strongly
when we played that tape.

Was it because it reminded you of
your experiences with Dr Gardner?

Is he doing it again?
Replacing you with a younger model?

He doesn't love her.

And she doesn't love him.

And how do you know this?

He's just acting without control or
discipline.

You've heard these tapes before!
The actions of a diseased mind.

I don't understand. No, but there's
no point trying to make him better.

What did you do?

Alison? You killed your husband...

because you knew he was abusing
a teenage girl. Didn't you?

That's right, isn't it?

Your silence isn't helping you,
Alison, you know that?

You think it is, but it isn't.
You are wrong.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of
the murder of Philip Gardner.

Hello. You gone mad?

You can't start waving a patient's
case file around.

Guv...
No, no.

This is confidential information.

They're gonna kick this straight out
of court.

I didn't use any confidential
information.

And Wes, I just asked questions,
she answered them. Right, Joe?

Yes, OK, but the file was in your
hand. What, Wes?

Oh, I'm sorry, what, this file?
Yes.

This isn't Alison Gardner's file.

I just picked this up on my way
through to the interview room.

Why? Did it seem like it was her
file? I'm sorry.

You still need to find Clare.

Morning, Jake.
Vijay.

We're up against each soon.
I'm defending Alison Gardner.

Yes, I saw that she'd hired you.
I look forward to it.

Me too, Jake. Me too.

'I can't believe the daughter has
changed her statement.

How did they get the girl to retract?
She's 16 and she loves her mum.

Won't have been hard to persuade her
that she got her dates muddled.

So now we have no witness to
contradict Alison Gardner's alibi.

No witness, no weapon, she's still
maintaining her innocence,

and we're no closer to finding
Clare, whoever she is.

Without Lisa's evidence, we're
stuffed. I'm reassured.

I'm working on it.
What else?

The police have look at Alison's
phone records.

She made only one call the morning
after Dr Gardner died. To her mum.

I know it must be difficult,
Mrs Riley... I have nothing to say
to you.

No, but Mrs Riley...
She's a good girl now.

Mrs Riley, the phone call,
the morning after when she...

She didn't do it.
Philip had put an end to all that.

She must have caused you a lot of
worry, with the trouble she'd got
into, yeah?

That's a nice way of putting it.
She still blames me.

But I wasn't the one out all night,
blind drunk with my legs in the air.

But Dr Gardner helped her, though,
yeah? No, he saved her.

Everyone tutted because she was
so young - I mean she was just 15.

But the shame of that, of them,
that I could live with.

Did they ever fight?
No more than any other couple.

The phone call, the morning after,
did she seem distressed at all?

Well, you can hear for yourself.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.
I wasn't in when she phoned.

She left a message.
It's on the machine.

You know, Lisa, we were very
surprised when we heard that
you'd changed your statement.

I just got things muddled up.

It's just, you seemed very clear
when we spoke to you before.

I just got things wrong. That's all.

I understand that you want to
protect your mother.

It's a good instinct.
But I'm not like the police, Lisa.

I have to fight for my cases.

And if you won't speak, then I'm
gonna have to call your brother
to the witness box.

I don't think Riley would cope very
well, all alone in court,

having to see his mother in the
dock. Do you?

I don't know what to do.

It's OK, Lisa.
Just tell me what really happened.

It's all my fault!

I found the tape in Dad's office.

I was snooping.

Stupid because his patients often
have really cool things and...

I played it and it was...

disgusting.

It freaked me out.

I tried to hide it, but Mum came in
and she saw I was crying and...

I shouldn't have let her hear it.

I know what she's like.

If I'd have just put it back...

It's all my fault.

'Hi, Mum. It's just me. I wondered
if you'd heard from Philip.

He didn't come home last night.
Hope you're OK. Bye.'

I'm sorry, how is this helpful?
Listen in the background.

'Hi, Mum. It's just me.

I wondered if you'd heard from
Philip. He didn't come home last
night. Hope you're OK. Bye.'

That doesn't sound like Regent's
Park. No, it doesn't.

Well, she can say what she likes, but
cell site towers show Mrs Gardner was
nowhere near the park.

She was somewhere around St Pancras.

Forensic audio have managed to
isolate and enhance some of the
specific sounds from the tape.

This...

'Hi, Mum. It's just me.'

..is a train.

Also - and this is a bit odd -

they've picked up what sounds like
a winching noise.

Around St Pancras, you say?
Yeah.

I need two officers stationed each
side of the bridge,
that side of it now.

Joe?

They've got her on closed circuit,
walking away from Goodsway Bridge.

Guys, we're gonna to have to look
further along, yeah?

Joe, do us a favour, mate.
Stop fidgeting, will you?

You should put this time to good use
anyway. Like?

Like thinking of a way we can find
this Clare.

I've searched all the national
databases for missing persons,

I've talked to all of his patients.

We now have the knife whose serrated
blade and size could have caused the
wounds on Dr Gardner's body.

Could have? A knife that we can
prove was in Dr Gardner's office.

It was recovered close by where
Mrs Gardner was seen on CCTV.

Does it show her holding this knife?

It shows her in the vicinity and not
in Regent's Park, as she previously
claimed.

What DNA is there to link my client
with this knife?

Because we all know the water will
mean you have no real evidence.

I'm satisfied that we have more than
enough. So am I.

It's all circumstantial.
We've convicted on less.

A jury's gonna wonder why Mrs Gardner
lied to the police.

And we'll point out just how often
she did.

Look, I appreciate your disclosure,
but really - I was raped.

I was 15. And he raped me.
Hang on...

When I found out he was going to do
it again, all over again,
I couldn't breathe.

This is not - I was so scared of
what would happen to Clare.

I felt sick, so I ran to him to
confront him and to stop him.

But then, I don't know, I just,
I lost control.

I stabbed him.

Mrs Gardner, do you understand the
implications of what you're saying?

Of course she doesn't!
It wasn't murder.

You want to change your plea
to guilty of manslaughter?

No!
Yes.

Yes, that's right. I do.

I can't believe they thought we'd
just go for a manslaughter plea.

Is it really such a bad idea?

At least we'd avoid the trial and
the cost.

There's less damage to the children.

You'd accept her plea?
Over loss of control? Yeah, I would.

The repeated rape clearly qualifies
as a trigger,

and the jury's gonna empathise with
her.

So you think Dr Gardner raped her?
I do, yeah.

Oh, come on!
A mattress in a secret room?

It's not right.

She stabbed him.
Over and over and over and over.

Seven times.
Not once or twice. Seven.

Loss of control? Maybe.

But she must have been covered in
blood.

Yet she walked away, changed her
clothes

and had the presence of mind to dump
them somewhere, we don't know where.

Like the tape she heard.
Precisely disposed of.

And then she sent that message to
her mother and took her children
to school.

Made them lie on her behalf.

And then, only because we finally
found the knife,
did she change her story.

I understand why you feel like that.
Alison's a very sympathetic figure.

But she knew exactly what she was
doing.

But we have to make the jury see
it's murder.

Could you tell the court where you
were on that evening? I was at home.

And what were you doing at home?

We had dinner, Mum and Riley,
like we always do.

And then I did my homework
and stayed in my room. All night?

No, I...

I was on my computer, chatting to
friends and stuff, and then Riley
came in.

And what did he want?
He wanted to know where Mum was.

And where was she?
We couldn't find her.

When did you notice she was gone?
About ten, I think.

And when did she get back?

I don't know.

Lisa?

I didn't see her till the morning.

But your mother said that she was
with you the whole time.

Your Honour.

Mr Thorne, is there an actual
question you would like to ask
the witness?

Thank you, Your Honour.

No, Your Honour, she's said
everything she should.

It's OK, my love. I love you, Lisa.
I love you too, Mum.

Please, Mrs Gardner,
I cannot allow - I'm sorry. Sorry.

I need to get this to Mr Prasad.

Thank you.

Mr Prasad?
Yes, Your Honour, I'm sorry.

Um... Yeah.

OK, right.

Lisa, tell us about the time that
your mother planted lilies in your
front garden.

I don't want to. It's OK, it's fine.
Mrs Gardner, please!

Lisa?
Mum planted flowers,

two rows all the way from the gate
to the door.

But when Dad came home,
he was really angry.

And what did he do?
He ripped them up.

Why?

Why did he rip them up, Lisa?

Dad said that...she didn't have
permission.

He treated me like a child,
didn't he? Mrs Gardner!

I am being as patient as I can
in these circumstances. I'm sorry.

But I will not have this case overrun
by you.

You will respect this courtroom or
you will be removed from it.

Is that clear? Mr Prasad.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Is it correct that you were
the person who found the tape? Yes.

And you showed it to your mother?
Yes.

And how did she react
when she heard the recording?

She went quiet and locked herself in
the loo. Thank you, Lisa.

One last question, Lisa,
and then you're done.

Did you ever hear your mother tell
your father that she loved him?

Yes, of course. Lots of times.

What do the jury make of it?
I think they like her.

They love her!
There's something else.

The defence have called up a child
psychiatrist, Dr Anthonia Carey,

to give evidence in support of
Alison. Saying what?

Emphasising the ongoing trauma of
childhood abuse in adult life.

Oh, no, this is bad.

Yes, that's what I thought.

We're going from guilty of murder
with a life sentence

to manslaughter on grounds of loss
of control. With good behaviour...

She can be very well behaved
when she needs to be.

..I can see her being back out
in two years.

What do we know about this Dr Carey?

She is smart and principled.

When we brought in the lad who'd
tried to kill himself,

she made it very clear she had no
time for Philip Gardner's methods.

You think this is personal?
She just felt the boy in her care
had been mistreated.

But the guy's dead, I don't know why
she wants to tread the dirt in.

Her motivation isn't important.
Will she damage the case?

She'll convince the jury.
She comes across very well.

She does, doesn't she?

No news of Clare?

Joe's out now trying all the
homeless shelters, hostels.

When we know, you'll know.

I appreciate your efforts, Ronnie.

OK.

I think I can help you.

Dr Gardner abused the privileges of
his profession.

There is never an excuse for sexual
relationships with your patients.

It is an absolute betrayal of trust.

If you break that trust, then your
behaviour can have tragic and even
violent consequences.

Even much later on in life?
Absolutely.

Thank you, Dr Carey.

Dr Carey, do you have examples of
these cases

where violence followed the sexual
interaction between doctor and
patient?

I do.

And of these cases, how many of the
abused patients

went on to marry the adult
with whom they had sex?

I don't know of any, but -

How about those where doctor and
patient remained married for 20 years

and raised two happy and
well-balanced children?

None.

But Dr Gardner was in a position
whereby he could convince Alison

she was in love with him,
even if this wasn't true.

So are you certain that Dr Gardner
crossed a line when he had sex with
Alison?

Yes, it's unforgivable.
Have you ever done the same?

Of course not.

Never?
No.

When you were much younger,
quite early on in your career,

is it right that you used to counsel
members of the legal profession
after traumatic cases?

I did.
Did you ever sleep with a patient?

How about a young solicitor who was
deeply affected by a harrowing case

involving the death of a key
witness?

I...

Yes, but only once and I should
stress that the man was not a child.

He was 31. But you betrayed his
trust all the same, surely?

Dr Carey? Weren't you worried about
the tragic and violent consequences
that may follow?

That was a low blow.

She's guilty of murder.

You're certain of that, are you?
My team are. And I trust them.

Well, you should have warned me.
How? How could I?

Those were private moments between
us.

We managed to keep them a secret
for this long.

I remembered them fondly -
until today.

I can't let her walk free, Anthonia.
And what if she's telling the truth?

She isn't.

My parents trusted him, so when he
took me away for days at a time,
they never questioned it.

The first time, he drove me to
a cottage in the middle of the
countryside.

And there he forced me to have sex
with him.

I let him because I wanted to please
him. But it hurt.

When I said that I'd tell someone,
he'd laugh.

He said no-one would believe
a screw-up like me and I'd end up
in the loony bin.

And then he would touch me
and tell me we were in love.

After a few years...

..the sex felt normal.

My behaviour was better in public,
so I told him I wanted to go to
college.

And he went crazy.
He drove me to a mental institution.

He parked opposite,
where I could see the gates,

and he said he would have me
committed if I tried to leave him.

And then...

he forced me to have sex with him
right there, in the car.

He said he was turned on by the idea
that someone might see.

Yeah. Oh, hello, Joe. It's me, yeah.
Are you near a computer?

I dropped out of school.

My parents didn't seem to care.

And then, not long after,
he announced that my...

..therapy had been a success.

For a moment I thought I was free.
But...

then he told me that
we were getting married.

Well, look in the other file.

Yeah, keep looking.

Hi. I need access to exhibit 17,
the Crown versus Gardner case.

Quick as you can, thank you.
Yeah, sure.

Really?

That's great. Well done.

'You looked at me and
began to unbutton your blouse.

We were parked right opposite the
hospital.

It was so blatant and forbidden.'

Kate!
'We couldn't help ourselves.'

Kate!
I think I've found something.

I've found Clare.

I heard him talking on the
tape, and...it was all the same,

the same games, the same tricks...

But now he was doing it to someone
else.

I don't remember walking to the
office.

I don't remember leaving the house.

I'd seen the knife before in his
desk,

and he was lying on the sofa.

And I stabbed him.

No further questions, Your Honour.

Why didn't you go to the police when
you heard the tape?

Clare would never speak against him,
so nothing would happen.

And why did you say that you loved
him?

I-I said what I was expected to say.

Would it be fair to say that his
actions were not threatening?

Wasn't he trying to help you?

Mr Thorne?

Mr Thorne?
Yes, yes. I just need...

Yes.

You mentioned that Dr Gardner drove
you to a country cottage.

Could you tell the court about this?

I...I don't really remember.
He took me to lots of places.

But the first one.
What do you remember about that?

It was about an hour's drive
from my parents. Very remote.

There was a small town nearby,
but otherwise we were completely
isolated.

And what was the name of that town?

I...I can't remember.

Your Honour, with your permission,

may I play an excerpt from one
of the tapes for the court?

'And you laughed.

You looked at me and began
to unbutton your blouse.

We were parked right opposite
the hospital.

It was so blatant and forbidden,

but we couldn't help ourselves.

I'd become part of your disease

and I knew right then that...
I had to be your doctor for life.'

'We were parked right opposite
the hospital.'

You said you and he had sex right
outside a mental institution.

No!
He's describing YOU, isn't he?

No!

What was the name of that town,
Alison?

I... I don't... I can't...

The town was called Clare. It's the
name written on all these tapes.

I think -
You thought he had betrayed you.

But the tapes are actually a memoir.

Dr Gardner named them after the town
that you and he first went together.

These tapes are a testament of his
love for you.

Isn't that right?

There is no other girl.

No betrayal. No repeated offence.

No Clare.

There was only you.

Alison?

Oh, Philip!

Philip!
He never raped you, did he?

He fell in love with you, and you
with him.

But you were so scared that he was
going to leave you, that you killed
him.

I am a rock
in a sea of chaos.

A rock in a sea of chaos....

Did he abuse you, Alison?

Alison?

No!

No. He loved me!

He promised he would save me,
and he did. And I loved him!

I loved him. What do I do now?

What do I do?

What do I do now?

Time for a drink?

You won.
You too. Well spotted.

It was more Ronnie than me.

Look at us both trying not to take
any credit.

You were right.
She was very convincing.

The jury would have gone with her.
We got lucky.

Do you feel lucky?
