All language subtitles for The Lady 2026 S01E04 720p WEB-DL HEVC x265 BONE

Out of the blue, this handsome, gorgeous
man appears. So now you're living the

fairy tale. To the happy couple.

Well, you know our Tommy. Can't say no
to a pretty face, unless they're trying

to tie him down.

You need to get out of the strip club
and call me back. You can't just ignore

me, Tommy! It's not funny!

You said there were certain things that
happened in your childhood that your

parents didn't want to know about.

Do you feel that's what's happening
here?

I have tried to kill myself for the
past.

I just need to know that you're not
using me. I wouldn't do that.

Things seem to be going much better
between the two of you. I think you may

planning to propose when we're in
France.

Mum was saying you're buying a place in
Cotswold.

He's always had an excellent head for
business.

I said of course it is for your mother.
Loony bin, Jane.

I'll just jump in the river, shall I?
Oh, solve all of your problems, won't

Tommy? You're right.

If we were married, you wouldn't treat
me like this. But you would rather just

keep stringing me along as long as Tommy
gets what he wants. You are sick.

Do you know that? Shut up!

You shut up! There's something deeply
wrong with you. What is it you want the

police to do? I would like someone to
stop us from hurting each other. If you

don't have somebody here soon, somebody
is.

We're three days into a national manhunt
and we're still no closer to bringing

her in. If she's taking risks, maybe she
intends to be dead before we can get to

her.

They found the car.

Local Bobby spotted the license plate
from the road.

Is she in it?

We don't know yet.

Parked in a lay -by, no signs of
movement.

He's asking if he should approach?

Yeah, tell him yes, but with caution.

Jane?

Jane Andrews?

You okay? Can you open this door?

Thanks.

I'm Detective Chief Inspector Keith
Douglas, attached to the Serious Crime

Group. The other officer is... Detective
Sergeant Kay Smart, also attached to

the Serious Crime Group.

We are in the interview room at
Bloomsbury Police Station. I'm

Please could you state your full name?

Jane Dawn Elizabeth Andrews.

Whatever happened between them, it
couldn't have been deliberate.

I mean, Janie can't have been in her
right mind.

Cut there.

Just one moment, Francesca. Was that
not... That was great. We just need to

check your mic for sound.

Oh, OK.

Yeah, we're all good.

So, if you can go back to before Tommy's
death, did you ever think he might be

in danger?

You have to remember, she really did
love him.

She was a woman scorned.

And she took her revenge.

I think she was telling the truth.

She was prepared to say anything to save
her skin.

You've told us that after Thomas
Cressman's call to the emergency

arguments continued.

And then you decided to leave the house.

You drove around for a while.

And following a phone conversation with
Mr. Cressman, you decided to return.

Is that right?

Yes.

He said to come in, sweetie.

And when you got back, there was another
big row.

You went up to bed.

Yes.

And I tried to go to sleep.

But he called up next to me.

And he said, Well, come on.

I want to have sex with you. You know
you like it.

And then he sort of grabbed me.

And, well, I was frightened, so I went
down.

And I got the cricket bat just to place
next to the bed.

Protect myself.

But then Tommy woke up, and he...

was going on about how horrible I was.

And he kneed me in the back.

And... I should have just left.

But I went down and I saw... I saw the
knife on the

training board.

I thought, if he did anything, I had to
say, look, I've got a knife.

Don't touch me.

And then eventually I went to sleep.

And he just started hissing me.

So I picked up the bat, and I hit him.

And he was lashing out at me, and he was
pulling my hair out.

And so I grabbed the knife, and he just
came at me, and I didn't know what was

happening. I just remember him falling
down, so I ran out of the room.

And then I panicked. I got in my car and
I just... I just drove and drove and

drove.

So after leaving the house, you made a
number of calls and sent a number of

messages.

Well, you seemed unaware of what
happened to Mr. Pressman. Were you

convince your friends that his death was
nothing to do with you?

No, I just...

I didn't know he was dead.

Denying it, claiming it was an accident,
the story was all over the place from

the start.

Now, if in doubt, play the self -defense
card.

But we had what we needed, so we charged
her with murder.

The only surprise was that she got bail.

Janie, I want you a cup of tea, love.

Settling in then, that's good.

That, um... That lady solicitor called.

She wants you to ring her back about a
meeting next week.

OK?

Does that mean you have to go back down
to London?

I guess so.

Because it's sort summer for me to stay.

Where did Dad put my sewing machine?

Ah, it's on the landing.

She sounded very on the ball.

The solicitor.

I'm sure she'll be able to sort things
out.

That's not really how it works, Mum. I
can't sort it out.

But it wasn't your fault, was it?

I mean, it's like you say.

It was an accident.

He didn't mean for it to happen.

No, of course not.

Do we still have that gingham cotton
that I bought?

The pale blue one?

I don't know. It might be in the airing
cupboard.

All right, Jane, love.

This just came for you.

I told her you'd be welcome to stay with
us during the trial, especially after

reading such diabolical things in the
papers.

I've been trying not to look.

Of course.

I knew there had to be more to it.

All this talk of premeditated murder
simply didn't ring true.

It's not.

I love Tommy.

I never meant to hurt him.

That's what I told the police.

We were trying to get away from him.

I had no idea he was badly hurt.

I thought I'd just given him a scratch.

A scratch?

Oh, you poor thing.

And did the Duchess really contact you
while you were on the run?

Yes.

Yes, she did.

Well, that's quite something.

Clearly, she still cares about you.

I know.

I'm making matching gingham dresses for
Beatrice and Eugenie.

Are you?

That's a thank you.

How sweet.

Coffee, darling.

Please.

Thank you so much for this.

I really appreciate you both letting me
stay.

Well, Roger and I are happy to help.

Pay no attention.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter
what rubbish they print.

No, you're right.

You just tell the truth and it'll all
come out in the wash.

I've always had the utmost faith in
British justice.

Everyone had made up their mind. The
press, the public.

They cast her as this bunny boiler.

There she was, on every front page.

Just like when she was with Fergie.

Before she was lapping it up.

Head to toe in black.

Like she was some sort of...

Grieving widow. I mean fearing thing.

Poor thing must have been terrified.

There is no doubt.

As to the identity of Thomas Cressman's
killer, Jane Andrews.

wielded the bat, and held the knife.

The real question we must consider is
why she committed these violent acts.

And on this occasion, we need not look
far for motive, for as you will see,

was the classic one of the jilted and
betrayed lover. Having learned that Mr.

Cressman no longer intended to marry
her, she returned to that house with one

thought in mind, namely, to take her
revenge by ending his

life.

Now, the defense will try and persuade
you that Miss Andrews was acting in self

-defense, that she was afraid for her
own safety.

And in order to support this, they will
paint a picture of the deceased that

bears no relation to the truth.

Indeed, the evidence will show you that
it was, in fact, Jane herself who was

the controlling and ultimately violent
partner in this.

a relationship that was brutally ended
by a cold -blooded, premeditated

murder.

The body of the deceased was in a very
awkward position.

wedged between the bed and the wall.

We could see that he'd been stabbed in
the chest and his hands were like this,

almost as if he was trying to cover the
wound or extract the knife from his

body. Can you describe the knife that
you found at the scene?

It was a kitchen knife with an eight
-inch blade and it had been taken from

block in the kitchen.

Well, it appeared that Mr. Cressman had
also been hit over the head.

with a cricket bat and stunned prior to
being stabbed.

Was there any sign that Mr Cressman had
attempted to defend himself against the

attack? No, there was not. No defensive
wounds were found on his body.

No defensive wounds, suggesting that
Tommy was defenceless when the attack

Well, I'm sure things will go better
this afternoon.

I'm sure they will.

Seeing her in court was pretty
unpleasant, as you can imagine.

But someone needed to speak for Tommy.

What did you make of Jane Andrews when
she and Tom first began dating?

I was aware of who she was and where
she'd worked.

and I think that had maybe impressed Tom
a bit.

And I'm sure she was attracted to him,
but I think ultimately she was very

attracted to his lifestyle.

Did you have any misgivings about the
relationship?

It was kind of full -on from the start.

Jane became increasingly possessive. She
basically gave him no space.

And how did Tommy respond when faced
with this kind of behaviour?

And Tommy was a...

Incredibly gentle kind of guy.

Plus he was worried about what she would
do.

I could have done that for you, if I'd
not done that.

This house is something else.

You'll have to buy Alexandra a present
to say thank you when all this is... You

know. I shall when I get the chance.

Everything's going to be all right,
you'll see.

And tomorrow, you'll tell your side of
the story.

Put things straight.

Mum, tomorrow there's going to be
things...

You won't want to hear.

Right.

Things that happened to me when I was
young.

Oh, Jane.

So if you'd rather not be there, you and
Dad...

No.

No, we'll be there.

You just... You say what you have to.

Mick Andrews.

Before dealing with the events of that
night, I want to deal briefly with your

medical history.

In the spring of 1999, did you undergo a
few sessions with a private

psychotherapist? Yes, I did.

Tom arranged them for me.

And what was the particular focus of the
psychotherapy?

To deal with my abuse as a child.

And the abuse to which you refer, was it
sexual abuse?

Yes.

At about what age, so far as you were
concerned?

About eight years old.

Am I right in saying you do not wish to
say who was involved in that?

Correct. But am I right that we are not
talking about a parental abuse?

That's right, yes.

So, during your relationship with Thomas
Cressman, you were still dealing with

the effects of that abuse.

This left you with a heightened
perception of threat. Is that right?

Yes. And in a high -threat situation,
you would find yourself less able to

rational judgments, instead finding
yourself in a sort of grey mist of

helplessness. Is that right?

Yes, that's true.

Can you now tell me about your
relationship with Mr. Cressman?

Tommy and I were together for nearly two
years.

I was devoted to him.

But in terms of your sex life, would it
be correct to say that you were

relatively innocent and straight -laced
sexually, whereas Thomas was relatively

adventurous?

Yes, that's true.

In what ways, Miss Andrews, was Thomas
relatively adventurous, so far as you

were concerned?

He would want to have anal sex with me.

And he wanted me to dress up in kinky
clothing.

You also discovered sexually explicit
emails on Mr. Crescent's computer, did

not?

Did you take these to imply that Mr.
Cressman was no longer committed to your

relationship? What was his attitude to
your future together?

He was committed.

But he had periods of confusing moments
on his part.

Where he would say that he needed space.

And it caused rows between you?

Yes.

Because I would push him to find out
where our future was going.

And are we talking merely about rows
where people shouted at each other, or

there on occasion more than that?

Yes.

In the sense that... That he hit me.

And on another occasion when we were
arguing, he pushed me down the stairs.

Well, we'd been warned that things were
probably going to get pretty nasty.

And so it began.

Well, now we come to the rows between
yourself and Tom on Saturday the 16th of

September last year.

Yes. The Saturday morning, he calls and
tells me things with Jane

were just awful.

He sounded stressed and hassled.

I told him if they got married, This is
how it would be.

She was just too hysterical.

I asked him what had started the
argument, and he said that she wanted to

if they were getting married, and he
told her that she wasn't stable enough

be the mother of his children.

Was there one aspect of those rows which
you did not tell the police about?

On Saturday morning, he put a pillow
over my

head and tied me to the bed.

His full weight was on top of me.

And he anally raped me.

I mean, they basically threw everything
at it. But to say she was raped, you

know, and like that, I mean, to be
honest, it was just disgusting.

Vile, despicable lies.

I don't know.

Miss Andrews, when you placed a knife by
your bed...

What exactly did you fear might happen?
I was afraid that he was going to rape

me again like he had that morning.

And when he began to attack you, you
tried to ward him off.

First with a blow from the cricket bat,
and when that failed, you took up the

knife.

Yes. Did you, however, intend that
Thomas Cressman be stabbed with it?

No, not at all.

We just came together, and the next
thing I knew, he was on top of me.

And that's the point the knife went in.

And at that stage, did you know how
badly injured he was?

No.

I just panicked.

I crawled out from underneath him and
ran out of the room.

I was terrified that he was going to
come after me.

So I took my dressing gown cord and tied
the door.

I couldn't think.

So one might say you were in a grey
mist.

Yes.

And as you left the house, was there any
sight or sound from Tom?

No.

No, there was nothing.

That's when I realized he must be dead.

Well, you see, that's when her story
really began to change.

This was quite different to the tale I'd
been told.

Then I realized that I had made a
dreadful mistake.

There are one or two things that are a
bit confusing.

What do you mean?

Well, you said yourself you told
differing versions to different people.

Yes, because I was confused.

And scared.

Right.

It's just you told me that you thought
you'd given him a scratch.

But then today, you said you knew he was
dead before you left the house.

Couldn't even admit it to myself.

You know, Roger and I have been talking,
and he feels, we both feel, that

actually it might be more appropriate
for you to move into a hotel for the

remainder of the trial.

Maybe tomorrow.

It's just simpler all round.

Don't you think?

Okay.

Don't make a joke.

So, Miss Andrews, you left the house in
the early hours of Sunday

morning and spent the next two and a
half days driving around the country.

During which time, as far as you knew,
nobody had found

Tom's body. Why not tell someone?

Even as you were keying in messages and
speaking to people on your phone, why

did you not say this man was lying
there?

Dying. I didn't want anybody to think
I'd fled the scene.

Left Tom to die in that room. Oh, so the
messages were calculated to mislead.

No.

I know it's absurd. It doesn't make any
sense.

No, no, it makes perfect sense.

This was no grey mist.

Whatever that may be.

Rather, you were deliberately attempting
to mislead your friends and former

husband. And now you've told this court
that you'd been admitted to Charing

Cross Hospital after falling down some
stairs.

Tommy pushed me down the stairs. I was
very upset.

But you never told that to any doctor,
to any police officer, did you? Just as

you never told anyone about the occasion
you say you got a bruise on your head

because he hit you.

No, because I was too ashamed.

When you're talking to the police, this
is not a time for shame, is it?

I just wanted to get the interview over
and done with. But what was the reason

that you failed to mention something
that you now rely on in this court,

that earlier that day he had had sexual
intercourse with you by force?

Because I was totally ashamed and
embarrassed.

You were seen three times by a woman
doctor at the police station. It was a

private examination. You could have
drawn attention if you wished to

that had happened to you that you felt
might be relevant to the trouble that

were facing. But you did not draw
anyone's attention to it, did you?

I was too traumatised by the whole
thing. Well, you were in a fit state to

interviewed and to explain all you did
to the police. Why not explain to the

doctor, I've been raped, and there will
be physical signs of that if you have a

look? I physically could not.

You didn't tell anyone about it because
it's completely invented, that story. In

fact, both stories about anal rape, both
in the morning and the alleged second

attempt that evening, just completely
invented, are they not? No, not at all.

Ever since your arrest, you have
fabricated a succession of contradictory

stories in a blatant attempt to escape
blame for Thomas Cressman's death, have

you not?

No, it's not true. Even now, the
evidence you've presented here in court

riddled with inconsistencies.

You claim that Mr. Cressman attacked you
that morning and as a result you left

the house for several hours, but then
you chose to return.

You claim that you feared further sexual
assault, yet in the next breath you're

saying you happily took off your clothes
and got into bed beside him. Why would

you do that?

Tom wanted me to sleep in his bed.

I couldn't say no.

So you are afraid for your safety, yet
you left the bedroom multiple times.

Went up and down the stairs, first to
fetch a bat, later to arm yourself with

knife. Which means that at any point you
could have left that house again, but

you chose not to. Now that makes no
sense, does it? I was afraid of what

might do. Meanwhile, your description of
the attack has changed.

When talking to the police, you said
that Mr. Cressman said that he was going

hurt you. However, as soon as you
reached court, you're claiming that he

that he was going to fucking kill you.
You claimed initially you thought you'd

just given him a scratch, but now you
say you were so covered in blood that

assumed he must be dead. Not one word of
it rings true.

Hard to remember.

Everything that's happened so far?

Nah.

We earlier heard that Tom had arranged
for you to see a psychiatrist to help

with your problems.

What problems were they again?

My child abuse.

Oh, yes, the child abuse that you've now
chosen to reveal in court.

No. And about which you refuse to
disclose any details.

I don't want to. Which is entirely your
right, but you must agree it seems

convenient, does it not, to present us
with an allegation which has never been

officially made nor legally proven.

You want a break?

Ten minutes, then we'll do the jury.

James, are you alright?

Antibiotics.

Doctor says it's just a low -grade
infection.

You must have been feeling poorly for
days.

Spirit.

Bless you.

Us women just soldier on, don't we?

We have to.

Would the foreman of the jury please
stand?

Have you reached a verdict?

Yes.

On the count of murder, do you find the
defendant, Jane Andrews, guilty or not

guilty?

Guilty.

I think she honestly thought she'd get
away with it.

Jane Andrews.

In killing the man you love, you ended
his life.

and ruined your own.

It is evident that you made your attack
on him when you were consumed with anger

and bitterness.

But nothing could justify what you did.

Even if you were feeling wronged and
were emotionally vulnerable, you were

attacking an unarmed man who had
possibly been asleep only a few minutes

you attacked him.

You then left him to die without
remorse.

Therefore, as your counsel recognizes,
there is only one sentence I can place

upon you.

And that is life imprisonment.

People don't believe her, but that
doesn't mean Jane isn't telling the

It just means people don't want to
believe her.

There's no excuse for what she did.

And I know no one wants to speak ill of
the dead, but Tom wasn't an angel, and

Janie wasn't a monster either.

The whole thing is just terribly,
terribly sad.

The fact is, she's a murderer, however
you want to look at it.

She was a woman scorned, and she took
Thomas Cressman's life in anger.

And even that wasn't enough for her. She
had to try and destroy his good name.

But, you know, at the end of the day, we
didn't let her get away with it.

Any other personal items?

I know you can keep that.

Well, unless it's valuable.

Uh, no.

It was a present from the Duchess of
York, actually.

That one has to be a life story, love.

Follow me.

Hey, look.

It's Fergie's bed.

Welcome home, Your Majesty.

How have you been this week?

Pretty much the same.

Jane, as we discussed last time, I think
your earlier diagnosis of depression

was correct.

Right.

But now that I'm getting to know you
better, I think it possibly doesn't

everything you're dealing with.

Have you ever heard of borderline
personality disorder?

No, I don't think so.

Well, a person with BPD often has a long
-standing pattern of thoughts and

feelings that probably began when they
were very young.

They experience certain recurrent
impulses and ways of being in

which often cause them a lot of distress
and which often involve self -damaging

behaviours. So, things like recurrent
suicidal threats.

Does any of that... Feel familiar to
you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Okay.

Well, we often find that there are other
common behaviours too.

People with OPD feel deeply entrenched
shame.

So whenever they make mistakes or have
weaknesses, they try very hard to avoid

admitting it.

And sometimes that means they lie so
they don't have to face it.

Right?

But that doesn't mean they're trying to
deceive.

But they're a way of coping when you're
feeling a lot of pain.

It's a bit like going out in the sun
when you're already sunburned.

If you're already feeling emotionally
raw, you can't begin to make healthy

emotional connections.

So I need to stay out of the sun.

For now.

Well, that shouldn't be a problem.

Jane, with the right support, you can
begin to learn to control your

triggers.

It'll take work.

But I really think this could be a whole
fresh start for you.

How are your sessions going with Dr.
Chowdhury?

Yeah, good.

They're doing a lot of work on my
triggers, identifying behavioural

you know, working through why I do the
things that I do.

I think it's really helping.

And has there been any more news about
the appeal?

Mum, I told you, they said it'd be ages
before we hear it.

But it should make a difference,
shouldn't it, this diagnosis?

It changes everything, really.

And the new solicitor thinks they're a
new... avenues that we can explore.

That's really good, James.

I can't believe it's Christmas already.

We had a card.

Sorry?

We had a Christmas card from Mr and Mrs
Cressman.

They said they knew it would be a
difficult Christmas and they sent their

wishes.

That was... That was kind of them,
wasn't it?

I wondered if we... I've got to go
through.

No, no, of course.

Jane?

Jane, will we speak to you on Christmas
Day?

I hate to think of you all alone in that
place.

Actually, I've made a new friend.

Oh.

Well, more of a pen pal.

The way she's been portrayed as
completely hard and unfeeling, that's

If anything, she feels things much too
deeply.

She had all these lovely dreams of a
great fairy tale romance, and when that

fell apart, so did she.

The fact is that woman never showed any
remorse.

Not to me.

Or to my family.

If you ask me, they should never let her
out.

And any man who gets involved with her

should be very, very careful.

I miss Tommy every single day.

Ah, the sound of his voice.

The way he laughed.

Silly jokes.

He had this incredible gift for living.

He was my beautiful boy.

And now he's gone.

I just want to keep my brother's memory
alive.

Can we stop there?
